text: December 5, 2016 | St.Vincent Health System Debbie Durst, Senior Director, IS Operations, Ascension Information Services, has been selected by the 500 Festival to represent the 2017 OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon as one of 13 official Mini Ambassadors. By spreading the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, exercise and participation in the 500 Festival's running and walking events, Mini Ambassadors will help keep participants informed, inspired and motivated during the months leading up to the race."The Mini-Marathon was the motivation I needed to become the person I am today," said Debbie on the Mini-Marathon website. "I was hooked after I walked across the finish line in 2002. After walking it for six years, I was determined to run my seventh at the age of 51. And I haven't stopped."Debbie ran the 2016 Mini only four weeks after having her appendix removed, although her run time was slower than in years past. Then she ran the Geist Half Marathon two weeks later and got back on pace."I lost weight and have maintained excellent health," she said. "I run year-round now but look forward to the training program, the Miler Series and, of course, the amazing Mini-Marathon. It's great to see others embrace a healthy lifestyle and it only takes one step to start walking. Where can you go to celebrate with 35,000 of your closest friends and still get chills as you cross the line?"

Who's Afraid of Rahm Emanuel?
Amara Enyia, who plans to run for mayor of Chicago in 2015, certainly isn't.
The political system needs to be obliterated and we need something new and different. The status quo doesn't work—at least, it doesn't work for too many people.
People often ask Amara Enyia whether she fears Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
That's because Enyia, a 30-year-old municipal consultant and community organizer, is planning to run against Emanuel in the February 2015 mayoral race. Though Emanuel is known for his abrasive style and attention-getting stunts—such as sending a dead fish in the mail to a pollster—Enyia scoffs at the idea of being afraid of him.
Enyia herself was raised by activists. Her parents fought in Nigeria's civil war and, later, against dictators Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha. Even after Enyia's parents migrated to the Chicago suburbs, "the government actually sent emissaries all the way from Nigeria" to question them about their activism in their home country, says Enyia, who as a child thought the visitors were friends of her parents. Only later did they tell her the truth. Enyia's family also faced pressure from politicians and civic leaders in the United States for speaking out against American leaders, including former Senator Carol Moseley Braun, for maintaining close ties with Abacha. Hence, Enyia says she is not cowed by the Emanuel camp. In fact, the administration's culture of intimidation is a major reason she is so determined to run against—and ultimately unseat—him.
After simultaneously obtaining a law degree and a doctorate in educational policy studies at the University of Illinois, Enyia worked in former Mayor Richard M. Daley's office on a fellowship, focusing on a wide range of issues that included economic development and transportation. Though she says the stint with Daley was a rich learning experience, it also left her frustrated with the constraints of trying to change policy through City Hall. So when Daley's term ended, she says, she "headed straight to the West Side." There, she spent about a year as executive director of Austin Coming Together, a community organization based in a predominantly African-American neighborhood heavily impacted by disinvestment, foreclosures and poverty.
Today, Enyia does municipal consulting through the firm she founded, ACE Municipal Partners, in addition to continuing her work with community groups in Austin and other hard-hit Chicago neighborhoods, including Englewood and Roseland on the South Side. She also offers her thoughts on urban planning, culture, politics and global travel—she speaks Igbo, Portuguese, Spanish and French—on her blog The Municipal Maven; she spends her scant remaining spare time competing in marathons and triathlons. In These Times talked recently with Enyia about what may be the biggest race of her life.
You had planned to announce your campaign on February 11, but you say the event was canceled because board members at the venue where you planned to make the announcement were concerned about the reaction from the mayor. What does that indicate about the current administration?
For there to be that level of fear of leadership—that's wrong. People are living in such dire circumstances, and they feel they cannot speak up or advocate because they're afraid of retribution. That fear paralyzes them from being able to speak up and demand better from their government. I hope that someone would see what I'm doing and think, "This random girl is challenging him—maybe I can do something." It doesn't have to be running for office; it can be doing something in their community to break that fear. We're talking about people power. People have brought down dictators of entire countries and risked their lives. With Rahm Emanuel, let's have some perspective and just be glad we can vote him out!
Mayor Daley was also powerful; how did his style compare to Mayor Emanuel's? Did people ever fear Daley in that way?
They have two different styles of governing. One thing Daley understood was how to leverage relationships. He would engage with people whether he liked them or not. With Daley, for better or worse, you knew deep down he really loved the city—it was in his blood. Under this administration, there's no understanding of the importance of relationships. There's a sense of indifference. Rahm wants to be mayor of Chicago, but that doesn't translate into caring about the city as a whole. That's why you have so many parts of the city that are completely neglected.
So you don't think Rahm loves Chicago?
No. The opposite of love isn't hate. With hate, at least there's emotion there. The opposite of love is indifference. Rahm simply doesn't care about these neighborhoods. He simply doesn't care about the South and West Sides. These whole sections of the city are crumbling, but they're completely out of the equation.
What about the widely held belief that Chicagoans feel like electing the anointed mayoral candidate is inevitable, and that—no offense—there won't be a valid opponent challenging Rahm, same as Daley?
I don't agree that [Chicagoans] want a tough-guy mayor who's going to curse you out. I think we've had enough of that. We want a mayor who inspires people, not one who instills fear in people. I think people are ready for a change—for leadership that shares their values of integrity in transparency and equity. It's not even about pitting the haves against the have-nots. My message is the city will never be as great as it can be unless we all grow together. What impacts [someone] living in Lincoln Park impacts someone in Humboldt Park, and vice versa. The violence in Back of the Yards impacts [someone] even if [they] live in Edgewater. It's one city; we all rise together.
As a specialist in urban planning, what do you think of the things Emanuel's received global accolades for? He's become famous for his transportation and startup business innovations and clean energy initiatives—do you think they're effective?
Some of it's good, but again, it comes down to this issue of equity and where those advances are taking place. For 20-some years, as a matter of policy we focused on downtown. The goal was to create this global world-class city, but that happened at the expense of the rest of it. Under the current administration, that divide has continued. We can put as many resources into the downtown areas as we want—but without targeted investment in [low-income] neighborhoods and communities, all we're doing is creating a much more stark dichotomy between downtown and the rest of Chicago.
Though you have an impressive résumé, you're only 30 years old. What do you say to people who think you're not qualified to be mayor?
I have no concerns about the weight of running the city; I can do that. The issue for me is this broader one of what leadership should look like in the city. How do you transform the way people think and see themselves? That's how you facilitate transformative change. I think the city needs that: The political system needs to be obliterated and we need something new and different. The status quo doesn't work—at least, it doesn't work for too many people. Now we have a unique opportunity to chart a new path.
We have to present an alternative vision for the city. For me, it's a vision of the city that cares about all the neighborhoods, values public assets, and values people regardless of their ethnicity, socioeconomic status or geography. It's a Chicago that talks about equity and enacts policies that reflect notions of equity. A Chicago where people aren't scared of their mayor.
Does that vision exist already among different organizations and community leaders?
I think it exists—whether you talk to a random person on the street or members of organizations, people are agitating for that alternative vision. For example, when it comes to education, groups like Action Now, the CTU (Chicago Teachers Union), Parents for Teachers and Raise Your Hand are taking action.
Speaking of education, what do you think of Rahm's handling of Chicago Public Schools, and what would you do on that front?
CPS, under the leadership of the mayor, underestimates simple good faith and respecting people, not lying to them. CPS made so many needless missteps. If [you're] going to close 50 schools, just tell the community you're going to close 50 schools because you can't afford to keep them open. People will be angry, but they will appreciate the fact you told them straight out—you didn't try to come up with all these different false misleading reasons to justify it. What CPS did under the mayor's leadership was come up with all these fake half-baked reasons [for closing specific schools], and once things started to unravel they spent all this time in damage control and came up with these processes of engagement that were for show. Then they wondered why nobody trusts them!
I did my [doctoral] dissertation on good faith in school policy. When all this was happening, I was shaking my head, thinking, they should have just read my dissertation. I have no illusions of easy answers, but respect people enough to tell them the truth and take their input in developing a way forward.
Realistically, do you think you have any chance to win the mayoral race?
No one in history who has changed things did it by being realistic. My dad always said revolutions never come from people in the status quo; they come from those on the outside. You can't be "realistic" when it comes to these things that are truly transforming. There's a certain "delusional" quality that you have to have, because you see something that other people don't see.
For me, being realistic is being mediocre. It's telling the guy on the street in Lawndale that this is it—this is as good as it's going to get. I've seen otherwise. By running for office I want to reveal to him what I see, with the hope that he sees it too.

A Magic Wardrobe?
I don't know if this wardrobe will take you to any magical lands like Narnia, but I do think that it is a pretty special piece. What makes it even more wonderful is that was given to me by a friend of a friend--free. It has a history too--it is from an old Montana ranch and homestead. It needs a little repair--the door trim is inside of it. So I will fix 'er up and take it to my antique booth.
I am starting the newest Beth Moore study tonight--Esther. I am excited, Beth always brings God's Word to life and relevance for me. I have my verse half memorized--I am working it one line at a time. Thanks for your comments and support.
PS--Can you see that my hubby is working on getting my basement finished?--yippee!
13 comments:
I love that wardrobe! I would have a hard time putting it in my booth! I would want to keep it and put shelves in it and make a jelly cupboard. I could store canned goods and put some of those big glass containers on the top shelf tha would store my sugar,flour, and cornmeal. I would probably crackle paint it in black and ivory. I want one! I will be on the look out for one now! Too bad I don't live closer to you!
I have heard of Beth Moore before but I don't know anything about her. What is the name of some of her books? I would like to get one.

Mortal Engines & The Color of The Moonby C. Garcia-Sanchez I don't really need to introduce C. Garcia-Sanchez to regular readers of ERWA [Erotica Readers & Writers Association]. Chris is an active participant in ERWA's email discussion list. As well as being a frequent contributor to ERWA Storytime Chris has also had work featured in the ERWA Gallery. In short, if you don't know Chris, you're missing out on the talents of a very competent author. Mortal Engines And The Color Of The Moon is Chris's first title, published by the clever folk at Whiskey Creek Press. The two novella length stories in this volume are both (appropriately) subtitled: Stories of Strange Love. This is particularly true for Mortal Engines, a futuristic story where software and hardware designers have worked hard to create perfect women in the form of "lovebots." For those who are uncomfortable with the idea of people having sex with machines, I can sympathise. I once had sex with a microwave whilst I was making some popcorn. The relationship is best described as short and sweet. Mind you, my brother used to own a pub and his wife divorced him because she caught him having sex with the dishwasher. The dishwasher's name was Karen. But sex with machines isn't really an issue. The main theme that Chris brings to Mortal Engines is a turn-around of Freud's timeless question: what do women want? With Mortal Engines Chris raises the question: what do men want? The story starts off simply enough with Hal, the story's disgruntled hero, trying to understand why a good relationship ended and wondering what to do next. After dwelling on the vagaries of fundamental female fickleness, he is swayed by the temptation of a robotic companion. I won't say anything further about the plot. I don't want to spoil the surprises that Chris has carefully laid out for the readers. The story is well-presented, intelligent and incredibly sexy. I think it's fair to say that Mortal Engines is aimed more predominantly toward a male audience than a female readership, but I think Chris's distinctive voice will be equally appreciated by men and women alike. I will say that Mortal Engines does raise a lot of issues about what men and women want from relationships. Although the story deals with a flesh-and-blood hero and a nuts-and-bolts heroine, Chris raises the difficult subjects of women being commodified; the contrast between physical attraction and mental stimulation; and a whole host of big topics that give this story a strong sense of being intelligent and insightful as well as being erotic and arousing. If you like your erotica to be aimed at your brain, then Mortal Engines & The Color of Moon are the Stories of Strange Love that you'll want to read this year.Ashley Lister Mortal Engines & The Color of The Moon ______

Home >> international-holidays >> Ottawa Tour Packages
Ottawa as such presents a wide variety of tourism opportunities. It is however advised to book your Ottawa tourism package well in advance. An Ottawa tourism guide will be fairly useful in selecting the main attractions you would like to experience! An Ottawa tour will certainly be an experience of a lifetime.
The capital of Canada, Ottawa lies along the Ottawa River opposite of Gatineau, Quebec. This is also the fourth largest city in Canada with a population over 1.1 million. Further, being the North American capital, the city of Ottawa is bilingual wherein majority of the people speak English and the rest communicating in French. This makes this a viable destination for both Europeans and Asians. Another reason for the growth of Ottawa as a tourism destination is the low rates of unemployment, crime and growth of high tech business setups.

Canadian Crucible Product Description
Canadian Crucible is a new entry in the Gamers Tactical Combat Series (TCS) depicting the Canadian defense of Norrey on D-Day 2 (June 8, 1944) against a counterattack spearheaded by Grenadiers of the 12th SS Panzer Division.
The battle depicted here begins on D-Day 2, June 8th, and continues for the next 3 days and was known by the Germans as the First Battle for Caen. The situation unfolds with the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division dug-in on its D-Day objectives. Aware of the resounding defeat that the 9th Brigade suffered the previous day at the hands of the Hitler Youth, the 7th prepares a Fortress around Bretteville, Norrey and Putot. The soldiers of the Regina Rifles and the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, still under strength from their D-Day losses, wait their turn for the inevitable encounter with the Grenadiers of the 12th SS Panzer Division. The Canadian must hold their thin red line at all cost as failure to do so could result in a serious set back affecting the invasion time table and loss of the initiative to the Germans.
This game is a well-balanced, 1-map fight between the highly motivated 12SS Hitlerjugend and their equally motivated Canadians who are determined to preserve and expand their D-Day bridgehead.

This book examines the character and function of the documents mentioned in the biblical texts in relation to comparable references in literature from wider antiquity. The primary focus is to understand these references within their literary context, asking why indeed they are mentioned at all and what purpose they serve in the narrative.Citing various references to written documents in the Hebrew Bible, Stott takes into consideration both those references that may point to external sources, for example, the many literary citations in the books of Kings and Chronicles, as well as certain other documents that play a role in the narrative, such as "the book of the law" in 2 Kings, the scrolls of Jeremiah, and the tablets of the law.The aim of this study is not to determine to which texts external to the world of the narrative, if any, these documents refer, or to identify the content of these documents, or to reconstruct their origins and historical development.Instead, the primary focus is to understand these references within their literary context, asking why indeed they are mentioned at all and what purpose they serve in the narrative, regardless of whether they existed or not in the "external world", or whether the stories about them have basis in historical reality "as it happened".Over the last 30 years this pioneering series has established an unrivalled reputation for cutting-edge international scholarship in Biblical Studies and has attracted leading authors and editors in the field. The series takes many original and creative approaches to its subjects, including innovative work from historical and theological perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and more recent developments in cultural studies and reception history.

Kristen (Christenson) Kristensson Printed from: Norway Heritage Community Topic: Topic author: debhatland
Subject: Kristen (Christenson) Kristensson i have looked and looked for the father of the below.
Reply author: Kĺarto I have searced the probate register for Sunhordland, includes Etne , I did find two probates for Kristen Kristensen Střle and a one for Kristen Rasmussen Haaland in Etne for 1712 (the last is only a wild guess).
Reply author: Hopkins You already checked the books of "Etne-soga", 5 volumes by Stĺle Dyrvik?
Reply author: debhatland Kare
Reply author: debhatland Hopkins
Reply author: lyndal40 One place to start is the online 'Personregister for Etne-soga. Perhaps you can find your Kristen Kristensson in the list and thus determine which volume you need and what page to look.
Reply author: lyndal40 If you live close to a library such as Stavanger, they will likely have copies of the books that you can use at their facility. If you do not live close to a library, many will copy parts of the Bygdebok if you know what part you want to have copied, see register above. Click on the following link to search the Stavanger Bibliotek. search under Etne-soga or Dryvik, Stĺle.
Reply author: Hopkins Deb - you appear to live in Norway (you've listed your location as Norway in your profile at this website) so this is slightly confusing to me.
Reply author: debhatland Hopkins
Reply author: lyndal40 My mistake also, I assumed you might live near a large Norwegian city with a library, ie Stavanger. I will try to find you a library closer to Iowa.
Reply author: lyndal40 St Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota has all five volumes on file. I would doubt that they do inter-library loans of these volumes but perhaps they would be willing to copy some pages for you. If you could visit the library you could use the person register to narrow down your search.
Reply author: Kĺarto Dont be sorry, we are all amateur´s here.
Reply author: eibache Aasmund was baptized Aug 17 1732, see last bapt. record on right page - another record show witnesses: Capitain Aam, Segiant Hans Hansen, etc.

Reply author: lyndal40 The 1900 US Census gives a Tom E Holt born Jan 1849 in Norway and wife Selia born Sep 1847 in Norway with eight children, four of them born in Norway and four born in Iowa.
Reply author: debhatland i found this Holt But i am confused :) Is this my family??
Reply author: jkmarler Hi,
Reply author: Kĺarto Great finding to all, this is your family in Iowa Deb.
Reply author: jkmarler Hi,
Reply author: Kĺarto Hi, grateful for any help.
Reply author: lyndal40 Did Tom Holt remarry, maybe?. I did not find a Tom Holt born in Norway in the 1920 US Census at all. However there is a Tom Holt born in Norway age 72 ie 1848 living in Lafayette, Story, Iowa with wife Cecelia age 62 ie born in 1858. Tom immigrated in 1884 Cecelia in 1866. This Cecelia does not fit the earlier Selia from the 1900 US Census as that Selia was born in abt 1847 and immigrated in 1885.
Reply author: lyndal40 One way that can be used to determine if that Tom E Holt is your family is to follow the children. Osmund being a rather unique name lends itself to that. The Iowa State Census dated 1 Jan 1925 lists an Osmund Holt, age 50 ie born 1875 for Boone County Iowa. His father is listed as T E Holt and mother as Celia Rodne. Father is born in Norway abt 1848 and mother born in Norway. No wife listed, has three children living with him, Marvel, Ora and Thomas. Also living with them is his sister Amanda age 34 ie born in 1891.
Reply author: lyndal40 The 1920 US Census lists Osmund as a widower with the same famly with the son listed as Thomas E, same name as his grandfather, plus older daughter, Thelma and another sister listed here as Marie A age 43? born in Norway.
Reply author: lyndal40 Going back in time we can pick up his wife's name. The 1910 US Census lists an Osmund Holt and wife Elizabeth living in Clinton Iowa along with children Thelma, Marvel, Ora and Florence.
Reply author: Kĺarto I think the 1900 census, Story, Iowa is correct.
Reply author: lyndal40 Yes, this might be their marrriage #4
Reply author: debhatland I am already confused I am trying to figure it all out
Reply author: Kĺarto HI Deb, I know it can take some time to classify all the names, apperas confusing until you find the thread. Norway Heritage Community : http://www.norwayheritage.com/snitz/ © NorwayHeritage.com |

Is a college education worth it?
Education is the one thing that every Indian saves for in their lifetime. For everyone, it seems to hold the key to prosperity. So, whether it is a lower income household that wants to make sure their kids break out of the poverty trap, or the middle class that dreams of a good job for their child or even the upwardly mobile set that wants to send their kids overseas, education is the salvation. However, college education costs so much that either the parents give up their lives to save up for it, or young adults take on a loan that they end up paying for a long time.
Whether you are considering it for yourself or for your kids, you would agree that a college education is quite expensive nowadays. But the question you need to consider is whether the degrees are worth the heartache. I just know that given it's one of the biggest goals in most financial plans, it might be worth thinking about, a little more.
What do degrees cost? The numbers
According to research conducted by the good folks at BigDecisions, a four-year undergraduate course in the US, like engineering is likely to cost about US$50,000 per annum or INR 30 lakhs a year, in just course fees and stay. That makes it US$200,000 or INR 1.2 crores at today's prices. While there is a wide range depending on college, lifestyle chosen etc, these figures give you an idea of how expensive degrees can be.
In the case of post-graduate courses, you have to also consider the 'opportunity cost' of not working for a couple of years while in middle management. While Indians may believe they don't have to deal with opportunity cost, give the tendency of jumping into an MBA straight after an undergraduate degree. I think the MBA will be wasted on someone without a few years' work experience, you're only really collecting a qualification rather than a real education.
What's the likely pay-off?
Again, let's start with the numbers from BigDecisions. let's assume the student who paid US$200,000 for the engineering degree in the example earlier, got a starting salary of say US$90,000 per annum in the US and saved, approximately US$20,000 per year, it will take 10 years just to recover the cost of education.
My view is that in this era, 10 years is a long time… chances are that the degree would have become obsolete! So you really need to also add in the cost of ongoing professional development. Alternatively, you will need to keep doing additional new courses to up-skill yourself.
Anyhow, the degree is only good to get you in the door. If you have a good degree from a good college, you are likely to be picked up at campus placements and therefore, off to a good career start. Even here, the degree, and good scores will only get you an audience with the interview panel, you will need personality to get through the placement interviews.
My personal life experience is one without a degree…well actually I did my degree by correspondence so I do have the degree, just not the experience of having attended a good college. But with a bit of chutzpah, as they call it, I was able to get a break in the industry I wanted.
Do they really matter?
At this point, most of my friends chime in to say that the real pay-off of an Ivy League education is the alumni network. You really can't put a price to this and I agree!So let me get back to a framework that I use… see if it suits you; if not, find another one.
I see the purpose of a college education to acquire knowledge/skills, and also a signal to potential employers. It is possible to acquire the knowledge/skills through online or part-time courses also. Unfortunately, online courses vary in quality and therefore, seem to be rated a little low in signaling your capabilities to your potential employers or employers
Similarly, you can acquire networks through social or professional circles rather than just college alumni although this may take longer.
So there is a trade-off between getting the knowledge and network quickly and systematically, versus acquiring them on your own over time. Apart from time, the issue with the latter approach is the 'signaling value' to employers. You may have to prove yourself more before employers believe you have the skills.

He's produced 4 albums since the split of London's much loved acoustic rocker's 'Hubbard'. He's been seen playing alongside Australian acts such as Midnight Oil, Spiderbait, Magic Dirt, Mick Thomas and Regurgitator. He's headlined some world famous venues and even been drafted by the Dandy Warhols for hula hooping duties at Parklife. This South African born modern day troubadour has covered some ground, though you could be forgiven for asking yourself "Who the hell is he??".
Roostar is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Ryan Sweeney. Born and raised in South Africa, he saw the end of segregation play out during his teen years. By 22 he had moved to London and soon formed the band Hubbard, landing on the bill at '100 club', 'The Garage', 'Mean Fiddler', 'Precious Days' and 'Glastonbury' (backstage). After Hubbard split, Ryan continued on as a solo artist under the name 'Roostar', recording an album (Little King) and an EP (Underground). In 2002 he was still performing in London including a one day festival (Fierce), featuring some of the biggest bands from the southern hemisphere at the time.
With the need for new horizons, Ryan relocated to Australia in 2003. Starting out in Melbourne he formed a duo with drummer, James Rusbridge, performing at venues like The Espy and The Corner Hotel, as well as doing some regional tours. For a number of years Ryan lived in the regional town of Castlemaine where he collaborated with guitarist/percussionist Darren Bujeya. The pair recorded the acoustic album 'A History of Forgetting' which was released on Roostar's independent label 'Three Mountain Records'. They followed this up with a full band album 'Out of the Woods' in 2012 with Andy Steward on bass and David Rogerson on drums. Sadly, Darren lost a battle with Cancer and passed away a year later.
Ryan is now back in Melbourne, working on new material and performing live as a stomping duo with Andy Steward.

Thursday night I got together with some old friends and we had a great time! Deb and I attended Bible college together and have remained great friends ever since. We currently live over 6 hours apart from one another but that doesn't matter to our friendship. Whenever we chat on the phone or get together it's like time has stood still and we pick up just where we left off. Now that's a great friend!
We started off the eveing by having supper at East Side Mario's with her husband Bob and kids Caleb and Hannah. Such wonderful, polite kids! Caleb is already working towards becoming a pilot so was excited to share with us his adventures while spending the day watching planes at Pearson International Airport in Toronto. Hannah and Mom had shopped for school clothes while Bob attended the Summit Leadership Conference I mentioned Wednesday.
After a yummy Italian supper that involved lots of catching up on everyone's lives, Deb and I headed to the show to see, 'World Trade Center.' We both really enjoyed it and if it's the type of movie you think you'd like to see, I'd recommend you go.
Deb and I found out we're both going to be attending the Just Give Me Jesus conference in Toronto the end of September so hopefully we'll be able to connect while there.
Thanking God for Deb and her frienship!

Mathematical Modeling of Ecosystems, led by professors John Alford and Edward Swim
Mathematical modeling of ecosystems can provide valuable insight into effective conservation strategies. The focus of this REU project is to create mathematical models related to the coastal wetlands area within the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and in particular the preservation of a habitat for the migrating whooping cranes, an endangered species, that winter there. We will use data from ANWR and learn to apply relevant mathematical techniques such as numerical simulation, nonlinear differential equations, and linear algebra to analyze and interpret these models.
This project will be informed by results from a previous NSF funded research program (http://www.shsu.edu/~tries_www/ecoimpacs/index.html) that created a multi-model to simulate the ANWR ecosystem. A biology faculty member at SHSU who is actively involved in research within the ANWR ecosystem will lead discussions about the biological foundations of this project.
Students working on this REU project will ultimately help resolve questions of fundamental interest to biologists focused on conserving the ANWR ecosystem by adding components to the multi-model.

Computational Aspects of Transformation Semigroups, led by Marty Malandro
Transformation semigroups are semigroup generalizations of the symmetric group whose computational aspects have attracted interest in recent years. During summer 2016 we will use algebraic techniques from group and semigroup theory to explore applications of transformation semigroups to computer science and statistics.
In this project students will be introduced to the representation theory of finite groups and semigroups and will use these tools to resolve open questions.
A first course in abstract algebra is required for participation in this project. Prior experience with computer programming and combinatorics would be helpful, but is not strictly necessary.

Discrete Morse Theory and some applications, led by Brian Loft
The continuous version of Morse Theory was developed in the 1950's and 60's as a tool to relate the topology of a manifold (that is, its cellular structure) with its local geometry (the behavior of real valued-functions defined on the manifold). It marked the birth of a new branch of mathematics: differential topology.
In the 1980's and 90's a discrete version of the theory was developed, which allowed many of the same results to be realized on cellular and simplicial complexes rather than manifolds. Over the past several years, it has not only been shown that the discrete version of Morse Theory is at least as rich as its continuous counterpart, but also that there are applications of the theory to diverse fields of science and engineering.
This summer we will develop the principles of both continuous and discrete Morse theory, and examine several different applications. Qualified applicants need to have completed the calculus sequence and a course in linear algebra would be nice, but not necessary.

Berwyn's Nite Light Cafe far from clean spirited.
Posted in the Chicago Forum
1 - 20 of 24 Comments
Last updated May 3, 2014
Apr 16, 2010
The Nite Light Cafe, located at 7009 Ogden Avenue in Berwyn, is supposedly a Christian/Catholic church group center that meets at least twice weekly, have occasional special events, and is where people (supposedly) make friends, mingle, and worship the Lord. Unfortunately, however, it's spiritual attitude is far from clean and pure, as the group has heavily restricted itself to children and teens 17 years old and younger only. Adults are promptly and coldly turned away and everyone gets immediately banned and thrown out of the group on their 18th birthday, and forbidden to attend any and all future events held there. Displays of affection, including hugging, is horribly frowned upon and even discouraged by the staff at that place, and in fact, displays of affection including hugging really should be welcomed and even encouraged in God's house. The entrance sign says that the place "shines light in the dark", but it actually only does that for those 17 and younger only. For those 18 and older, it simply throws a secondary blanket of impenetrable darkness over them. This is yet another sign that, in the State of Illinois, all socializing, mingling, making friends, etc, runs right into a solid welded steel wall at high school graduation.
Apr 16, 2010
They have a strict age cutoff in order to keep adults, specifically sex predators, away from the minors.
Apr 16, 2010
It is actually illegal in the State of Illinois for an adult man to approach within less than 75 feet of a minor who is not his daughter. And that includes neighbors as well. And that also includes at public places, even shopping malls. Even if the adult's criminal record is spotless.
Apr 16, 2010
In addition, public display of affection, including hugging, is also illegal in the State of Illinois.
Oct 10, 2010
Another sign of an extremely crummy nightlife atmosphere! Illinois is a strict all work no play zone for adults! All the way to the point that, especially in Chicago's collar county area (DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane, McHenry, and even DeKalb counties), there is no Sabbath!
Dec 25, 2010
Worse still, that place does not even have any events or weekly worship/socialization nights for adults only, either. Instead of even, for instance, a night a week for children and teens only and another night a week for adults only, they are going for children and teens only on all operating days and nights.
Jan 10, 2011
These days especially, you really need to be tough, strong, fit, antisocial, and willing to be busy all 8,766 hours a year to live in Illinois. Illinois is extremely expensive, many areas even rivaling New York City expensewise, and Illinois is populated by many millions of Kim Jong-il wannabes. The pace of life in Illinois is like a space shuttle. Work bosses in Illinois will whip their employees to speed up and will fire all but the fastest paced. Illinois does not have a single Disco, DJ, or dance club; all clubs that are left are the sit down and watch only type where you just sit at a table and watch a band play and that's it. To make matters worse, the Jerry Springer, Steve Wilkos, and Oprah Winfrey shows have all abandoned Illinois. Illinois is a very hard and tough place to live in, and is completely unfit for social butterflies and party happy people.
Jan 10, 2011
And in fact, that is the main reason why, for those of you still in high school, some of your classmates tell you that after graduation, that they are going to college in, for instance, Miami, Tampa, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas. Because they know that there is no party atmosphere in the whole state of Illinois, the nightlife atmosphere in general is extremely bad, the social atmosphere in Illinois is terrible, and they don't want to be part of the all work and no play atmosphere.
Jan 21, 2011
im commenting on the original post made about the nite light. i an 22 years old and a former teen of the nite light. any time i stop by i am still welcomed with open arms...and yes a hug! the owner actually loves hugs and treats everyone as a welcomed guest as long as your respectful. and yes, adults can attend the church services they hold at noon every Sunday. the owner have the biggest heart for the lord and a love for young people. their mission is specifically designed to help youngsters, all thought the ministry does give away tons of food donations to adults in need. adults of band members or teens that attend shows are welcomed, but of course still have to pay the cover (which goes 100% into keeping their doors open, nothing is pocketed by the owners or working everyone is a volunteer) other than that, its not the type of "scene" many adults would want to attend anyway, unless their going there on Sunday for church.

Jan 22, 2011
It may not be the type of "scene" at least nowadays that many adults might want to attend, but then again, there is absolutely nothing social in the entire state of Illinois that is even remotely fit for adults. No church groups, no discotheques, nothing. Whatever bars that are left are located in the middle of horribly crime infested neighborhoods and are therefore completely overrun by all drunken gang bangers that spend the night drinking and then starting fights and shootouts. |
Jan 22, 2011
The cutoff age for ALL fun, socializing, partying, mingling, and dancing in the state of Illinois is high school graduation. And high school graduation is a blunt, hard, and tremendously strict cutoff age for all Illinoisans!
Jan 22, 2011
They sound like a bunch of crazy Jesus freaks. Thank god they are not in the city
Jan 25, 2011
Thats exactly what they are, and proud of it!:-) in fact i am too, ill take it as a compliment |
Jan 25, 2011
And they are also proud of throwing another blanket of darkness and seemingly total hopelessness on everyone over 18 who wants to have some nightlife, socializing, and some fun. |
Feb 9, 2011
its not about nightlife, its about Jesus Christ
Feb 9, 2011
Way to spread disinformation. IF thats the case why aren't the police at the malls and any other place where persons gather arresting men like there is no tomorrow? As to the original poster, it sounds as if its a place for minors, so that once you are no longer a minor you can find a different group to attend. Furthermore you sound quite creepy, as if this group is squashing your attempts wants and desires to get some cheap feels and gropes in on young boys and girls. |
Feb 9, 2011
The original poster sounds like a pedo wanting in a kids' club.
Mar 31, 2012
To the OP;
Illinois is NOT a party place for adults. In Illinois, it is all work and totally no play after high school, and in many areas such as Chicagoland (really all of Northern Illinois from about the latitude of Peoria all the way to the Wisconsin border), there is even no Sabbath for anyone. The reason there is nothing (exclusively) for adults in Northern Illinois is because of the tremendously fast paced, Sabbathless, workaholic lifestyle of Northern Illinoisans. As an adult, if you really want to go somewhere where people of any age at all (including adults) mingle, socialize, and have fun, you really need to go look in another state. Some of the best regions for mingling, socializing, dancing, and such in which the venues are welcoming to adults are in/near New York City and throughout the Sunbelt region, especially along the Gulf Coast area. There are also a few scattered hangout type places for adults in Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan. As for worshipping Jesus, well, there is always regular mass at a regular church. A lot of churches even have mass every Sunday, too! |

My band has played there twice and our parents have always been allowed in. They have gotten new ownership in the past year so I think things have changed.

Equalizing thrust bearings are specifically designed to accommodate a certain degree of static misalignment before a load is applied. This misalignment is typically due to housing and bearing machining tolerances, or misalignment between the shaft and housing. This is static misalignment because the misalignment exists before a thrust load is applied.
Misalignment requires the standard leveling plate mechanism shown in Figure 1 to overcome tangential frictional forces which impede sliding. These forces are low during the initial loading process allowing the plates to shift as needed. The forces are high when the bearing is fully loaded; consequently, the plates do not perform as efficiently. The pin type equalizing system shown in Figures 2 & 3 is better suited to accommodate additional misalignment when the bearing is loaded. The pins provide a rolling contact that eliminates frictional resistance. This type of leveling plate design greatly improves the ability of the bearing to respond to additional misalignment especially when the bearing is heavily loaded.
Figure 4 shows an example of the load distribution among the pads for the pin type and standard leveling plates when the bearing is loaded to 3.45MPa and then misaligned 0.13°. Figure 5 show the position of the pads in the bearing. The horizontal line in Figure 4 is the average load per pad. Under the same loading conditions, Pad 3 for the pin type has a lower load than the standard leveling plates. Conversely, pad 7 for the pin type is carrying a higher load than the standard leveling plates. This demonstrates a better distribution of the load for the pin type leveling plate design. Thrust bearings with a standard leveling plate system equalize the thrust load very well when statically misaligned and then loaded. For most industrial machines, this is all that is required of the equalizing thrust bearing. When an additional misalignment force exists due to the nature of the application or occurred over time, a pin type leveling plate design is a good alternative. For more information on how Kingsbury can service and improve your existing bearing application, please contact our Repair & Service sales engineers at +1-215-956-0565 or send an e-mail to: email@example.com. |

Unfortunately, it is true however. According to the law, the minute you sell a cd, you no longer have the rights to own said CD and it is actually illegal to burn it to your library and sell it. Again, it does not matter what you think or feel is right, the law is the law.

Britain's Universities Go Begging
By Beth Carney
Nearly two years ago, graduates of Oxford University's 488-year-old Corpus Christi College had their first taste of a distinctly American collegiate tradition: the fund-raising phone-a-thon. Students paid to dial up the college's alumni during spring break raised $280,000 to support graduate student grants. This spring, thanks to a donor who has offered matching funds, the college is poised to double that amount. "These things are starting to happen," says Peter Lampl, chairman of the educational Sutton Trust charity, who is donating the $188,000 to help Corpus Christi, his alma mater.
Indeed, British graduates can expect more of such calls, as universities facing a cash crunch make fund-raising a priority. Like other European countries where education has traditionally been publicly funded, Britain lags far behind the U.S. when it comes to private fund-raising. But changing long-standing perceptions, and the very nature of philanthropy in Britain, won't be easy.
Still, government officials and university administrators are trying. The government recently announced that it is making available the equivalent of $14 million in matching funds for a pilot program, starting in April, to help a select group of universities launch professional development offices. "I think, obviously, they've looked across the water [to the U.S.] and seen how successful this can be in some universities," said Eric Thomas, vice-chancellor of the University of Bristol and chairman of a government task force that reported last year on voluntary giving.
Britain's universities have a long way to go before they match the fund-raising muscle of their American counterparts. Figures are only now beginning to be collected for annual giving, but one sign of financial support is in endowments.
Only Oxford and Cambridge have significant endowments, thanks to their long histories and efforts in the past 15 years to step up fund-raising. Oxford's endowment of about $3.9 billion and Cambridge's of $4.5 billion are still small, however, when compared with American universities such as Yale, with $12.7 billion and Princeton's $9.9 billion, not to mention Harvard, with its peerless $22 billion, according to the National Association of College & University Business Officers.
Even more striking is the lack of depth in British university endowments. According to a 2003 study commissioned by the Sutton Trust, the combined endowments of the top two British universities -- often referred to as "Oxbridge" -- were more than twice the value of the combined endowments of every other university in the country. Moreover, far fewer British alumni dig into their pockets. In Britain, Cambridge is a standout, with 9% of its alumni having dominated in 2004. In contrast, Princeton, high-performing by American standards, boasts that 59% of its alumni gave.
At leading schools, attitudes have been gradually changing over the past 10 years, as select universities began following Oxford and Cambridge's lead by starting professional development offices. Now, about 20 British universities have full-fledged development offices, although half still have no staff at all devoted to cultivating alumni, according to the nonprofit Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).
But years of rising enrollments and lean budgets are putting increasing pressure on all universities to look for outside funds. A momentous change comes next year, when many universities will start charging fees of up to $5,650, an increase from the current across-the-board tuition of about $2,260. Other income-boosting tactics include recruiting overseas students, who pay higher fees than Europeans. Oxford University, for example, announced last week that financial reasons would lead it to increase non-European undergraduate enrollment from 7% to 12%.
"There's been a real focusing of minds in the past year," says Joanna Motion, CASE's vice-president of international operations, who says the impending imposition of variable fees has forced schools to think competitively. By Beth Carney
Like the rest of Europe, Britain faces obstacles in replicating America's success raising money for higher education. The main factor is that since World War II, universities have been seen as a government responsibility. Many feel that, as taxpayers, they are already supporting education with their taxes.
Moreover, British philanthropic habits differ from those of Americans. First, the tax incentive to give in Britain is not as strong, since charities, rather than individuals, claim the benefit. While the percentage donating is about the same at 70%, Americans give more -- 1.8% of GDP, vs. 0.7% in Britain -- according to the task force report.
In the U.S, education comes second only to religion in receiving support; in Britain, education doesn't even figure among the major recipient categories, which include medical research, children, international aid, and animals. Overall, Americans tend to give to organizations to which they have a personal connection, which isn't the case in Britain. Moreover, some say that British philanthropists operate in a more skeptical climate.
Motion points out that a recent story in
, a liberal newspaper, about Bill Gates's $750 million gift to fight childhood diseases was accompanied by a cartoon featuring one child telling another: "The idea is, we grow up healthy and buy his software." Said Motion: "There remains in this country a profoundly distrustful attitude that says, 'What's in it for the donors?'"
Some academics, too, are reluctant to take on the task. "I have the British reserve -- I don't like asking people for money," says Peter Knight, vice-chancellor of Central England University, one of the universities without a development office. "The idea that we have a call center pestering people on the phone day and night, I find distasteful.".
Schools in Europe face similar challenges. The private business school INSEAD, with a campus outside Paris, launched its first capital campaign in 1995 and raised $143 million over five years, impressive by Europe's standards. However, about 80% of that money came from corporate sources, with the remainder from foundations and alumni. The school has started another campaign, the focus this time on boosting alumni giving. "This is not something that comes naturally to a lot of our alumni. People in continental Europe simply haven't been used to supporting education," says Ian Edwards, INSEAD's director of development.
By helping more universities start development offices, the British government might speed what everyone agrees is a long-term process. Boosting fund-raising involves time-consuming tasks, such as building alumni databases and cultivating relationships, as well as broader cultural change. Yet the real impetus for increasing giving, according to the universities that have started, comes from competition. In surveys ranking world universities, Britain remains well-represented -- but the top slots are dominated by rich American universities.
"Philanthropy buys excellence," said Mary Blair, an American who came from Johns Hopkins University to direct the development office at the London School of Economics. She says the reason why most Britons don't give is simply that most universities don't ask. "The more you start to, the more you change a public perception." One phone-a-thon at a time.
Carney reports for BusinessWeek Online from London

Promo-savvy Saints introduce Coleman-Franken Count 'Re'Count souvenir
Kudos to the St. Paul Saints one more time.
Read what they've got in mind for next baseball season . . . those mischievous minds of the Midway.
Here's what Saints PR chief Sean Aronson just sent to MinnPost:
With the heated election not quite over in Minnesota the St. Paul Saints have their response to the Norm Coleman/Al Franken race for U.S. Senate. You may know the Sesame Street's Count Von Count, now the Saints are proud to introduce Count Von "Re"Count.
Saints fans will have the opportunity to decide for themselves with a doll that depicts the two men and commemorates this historic election. The figurine will consist of one head with Coleman's face on one side and Franken's on the other. The body of the doll features that of the famous Sesame Street Count (Count von Count) with a suit, bow tie and cape. The head will spin reminding fans of the dizzying experience that has been this state's U.S. Senate race.
"The Saints have really outdone themselves with this one," said Independent Senate candidate Dean Barkley. "I am glad, however, they decided not to make this a talking doll. Norm-Al will look great on someone's shelf — silently."
The first 2,500 fans that enter the gates on Saturday, May 23 are scheduled to receive a "Re"Count, but that number may change daily leading up to the event. For example, the Saints may only have 2,400 dolls to give away if an employee accidentally leaves a box of the dolls sitting in their vehicle overnight.
There will be a coloring competition where the winner will be the person who can correctly color inside of an oval shaped object. Following the third inning of their game against the Sioux Falls Canaries, no matter the score, the Saints will claim victory, "a victory for all Minnesotans."
While fans choose whether to spin the doll to the side of Coleman or Franken, lawyers will be on hand to help determine their intent and challenges may be submitted to the Saints Fan Services Booth in written or oral form. All fans will participate in various counting exercises during the course of the game, including the popular exercise:
"What's the difference between 24 and 124?"
Coleman and Franken are currently deadlocked with 42% of the vote while Barkley finished with 15.2% after 2.9 million votes were cast.
Count Von Count could not be reached in his castle for comment nor could his most recent girlfriend, Countess von Backwards. It is not known if either cast a vote in the November 4 election. The Count is 1,832,652 years old.
