Women Earn Win and Tie in Duluth
The St. Cloud State University women's hockey team hit the road again this weekend for a WCHA series with the Bulldogs of Minnesota Duluth. The Huskies were hungry for more conference points and fed the void taking home four of six points.
The Huskies got the weekend started Friday night in the second period as Julia Gilbert netted a goal just as the Husky power play expired to make the score 1-0. Before the buzzer in the second has ended the Huskies scored three more goals to make the tally 4-0.
Early in the third period the Bulldogs scored to make it 4-1 but SCSU battled on. The Huskies goaltender Julie Friend was solid between the pipes and helped SCSU skate to a 4-1 victory and earns three WCHA points. Friend made 52 saves in the victory and has earned the title of Defensive Player of the Week by the WCHA.
Saturday's game was a closer contest with no score after one period of play. The second period would see a surge in special team action. The Bulldogs scored with the advantage to make it a 1-0 game. The Huskies were unable to capitalize on multiple chances before the horn sounded for intermission.
The third period was much like the previous two featuring back and forth play. It wasn't until the 19:38 mark that the Huskies, Julia Gilbert would score. Gilbert's goal ruined the Bulldogs hope of a regulation victory with 22 seconds left. The game went through overtime without a winner. Minnesota Duluth prevailed in the shoot out to earn the extra conference point.
With the successful weekend the women's team is now 1-6-3 overall on the season with a 1-5-2 conference record. They host the University of Minnesota this weekend in a pair of games. Both start at 3:07 p.m. Listen to the Friday afternoon game on 88.1 FM KVSC. Saturday will be game two of the series at 3:07 p.m. listen to the game on the KVSC Sports Stream.

EMC adds Mozy lifesaver to Iomega drives
Armageddon foiled by back-up back-up
EMC is rolling together two of its recent acquisitions into a storage bundle that combines both local and remote data backup.
Iomega external hard drive customers can today download a software package that combines EMC Retrospect Express backup with the Mozy online backup service.
Customers who purchase an Iomega external hard drive can choose Retrospect Express and a 2GB of MozyHome online backup account for free. That can also be upgraded later to an unlimited storage account for $4.95 a month. Those who already have Iomega and Retrospect can upgrade to the latest Mozy-friendly version gratis.
Mozy integration has been worked into Retrospect Express HD 2.5 and Retrospect 7.6 for Windows — but not yet for the OS X version. EMC says separate MozyHome software is available for Iomega drives, but it's not yet been tied into Retrospect Express.
"Computer users now have a seamless backup system for local backup of every file, as well as backup to the cloud for files that warrant another copy," said Jonathan Huberman, president of EMC's consumer group. "This bundled solution provides the versatility of any time, anywhere access."
We thought anywhere access was the point of Mozy by itself but far be it from us to complain about a free hosted 2GB. At least EMC is showing that it can combine assets from different acquisitions or that it can combine things that don't need combining or something.
A brief history; EMC bought into the on-demand web application market with the purchase of Berkley Data Systems and their flagship Mozy service last October.
In April, EMC interrupted Iomega's plans to merge with a subsidiary of Great Wall Technology via a hostile takeover bid. Although EMC's advances were first spurned by Iomega's board, when the storage giant returned with a $213m cash offer — it was true love at second sight.
We've been wondering what EMC had planned to do with Iomega's technology. We're glad to see the answer is: something. Becoming a foot in the door to get customers to purchase subscription Mozy accounts is probably better than no love at all. ®

Model Katherine Webb has tied the knot with footballer Aj Mccarron.
The former Miss Alabama-turned-TV personality exchanged vows with sports star McCarron in Orange Beach, Alabama on Saturday (11Jul14).
The couple, which became engaged in March (14), decided to wed in its home state after recently relocating to Ohio, where McCarron now plays for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Webb famously made headlines last year (13) when the beauty caught sports commentators' attention as she cheered on McCarron from the sidelines during the BCS National Championship Game. She supported her then-boyfriend as his University of Alabama's Crimson Tide team beat the University of Notre Dame's Fighting Irish.

I think that about sums it up!
There were a few extra posts here and there, but those above really contain the meat of my coverage.
I'll end by saying that I actually had a much better time this year than last; the caliber of films was stronger and much more varied in terms of content and styler – those that I saw anyway (and not just the *black films*) – and I liked a lot more of them than I did of what I saw last year.
Unlike this time last year, when I wasn't sure if I'd be going to the festival this year, I'm definitely much more encouraged to attend in 2013.
Till then…
Up next, the Pan African Film Festival, which starts next week; I'm looking forward to finally seeing that Toussaint L'Ouverture film which will make its stateside debut there, as well as Russ Parr's The Under Shepherd, High Chicago, Dark Girls, and several others.

INDOT reminds motorists to get ready for snow
INDOT reminds motorists to get ready for snow
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. —
The Indiana Department of Transportation is reminding motorists to slow down under wintry driving conditions.
INDOT says the first snow of the season typically brings a higher rate of crashes and slide-offs as drivers readjust to driving in winter weather conditions. INDOT is warning that as the temperature drops, snow and ice could create travel problems.
INDOT crews were on the roads Monday in northern Indiana dealing with snow and ice and planned to be out in many other areas of the state on Tuesday.
INDOT recommends that in addition to slowing down, drivers allow more distance between them and other vehicles, especially INDOT's plow trucks.

Story and photos by Daniel Friedman
Sixth grade students in Nancy Carvone's music history/piano class at BASIS Scottsdale were treated to a private concert by Russian-born pianist Katya Grineva, who is in town for a concert at the MIM on Saturday at 7pm.
Grineva played Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Chopin and De Falla on a brand new upright Steinway that still had the tags on it. The students listened intently as Grineva played, then asked how long she practiced. Grineva said she practiced eight hours a day when she was a teenager, but now "just" three to five hours each day, depending on how much she was traveling.
They wanted to know how she played so fast. The answer was the same as the classic "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" where New York-based Grineva has played many times: practice.
Grineva told students how she started playing piano when she was 5 and decided when she was 13 to make it her life. Her family didn't have much money but when they managed to get a piano her mother said if Katya didn't practice she would gladly sell it.
On the way out of class, students asked Grineva to autograph their sheet music, and only as the students were waiting to be dismissed did they ask to have their picture taken with her.

Starkville Academy loses road decision
MCCOMB – The Starkville Academy Volunteers fell behind 18-0 to Parklane Academy and it was a hole too far to climb out of as they dropped a 38-20 decision on the road.
The Volunteers (0-4) broke scoring ice in the second quarter on a 12-yard run by quarterback Kyle Henson, the first of two scores for the game. Starkville Academy trailed 18-7 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Matt Ward, who led the Vols with 108 yards on four carries, had a 24-yard run for a touchdown to close the gap to 26-14.
Henson, who had 78 yards rushing on 14 carries, scored his other touchdown in the fourth quarter with a 58-yard run and SA shaved the margin to 32-20 before Parklane scored the final touchdown.
The Vols return home next week to play Jackson Academy.

With another baby on the way, we were out of room in our trusty little Honda. Time for something bigger.
We debated the merits of various options, but I really did not want the standard 12-15 passenger van. I came across the Dodge Sprinter as I was doing my research, and I was intrigued by the seating arrangement (seats with headrests! seats with shoulder belts! a sliding door!) and the diesel Mercedes engine.
After many months of looking online (nothing nearby was in our price range -- and the passenger version is fairly scarce), I located one in St. Louis. Bob was there for work a month or two ago, and visited the Sprinter.
We went out to buy it this past weekend.
Wow. There was some immediate buyer's remorse on my part. This van is embarrassingly big. It's huge. It's taller than everything else, longer than everything else, very very easy to spot in a parking lot.
I'm starting to like driving it (it handles surprisingly well), but parking it still puts the fear of God in me.
Without further ado, meet Louie:
I think I'm going to like him.

GREVENBROICH, Germany — In one moment we're rocketing around a race track as though we're in a 911 Turbo, while the next we're climbing rock faces, wading through water and cruising over rough gravel like a Jeep. It's the same vehicle.
Porsche's vision for the Cayenne has always been of a sport-utility vehicle as capable clipping apexes as cresting summits.
For 2019, the third generation, the company has arguably come the closest yet to hitting that goal.
A host of improvements have increased power, increased fuel efficiency, increased dynamic performance and increased off-road ability.
The changes include three new engines, a new eight-speed transmission and a new front differential that lowers the car's centre of gravity.
Unitized body
A new unitized body with increased use of aluminum has shed 51 kilograms of weight.
Those changes improve Cayenne's on-road and on-track performance, while a new, optional, air suspension and off-road management system improve its ability in the sticks.
The three new engines include, a 3.0-litre V-6 turbo (340 horsepower, 332 foot-pounds), a 2.9-litre V-6 twin-turbo (440 horsepower, 406 foot-pounds) and a 4.0-litre V-8 twin-turbo (550 horsepower, 568 foot-pounds).
They're mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission and a full-time all-wheel-drive system.
That all-wheel-drive system connects through a front differential that shares space with the torque converter bell housing.
The front driveshaft passes through the housing, rotating between the engine flange and torque converter.
Thomas Seiler-Granderath, Cayenne powertrain manager, said the change means the engine can now ride considerably lower in the engine bay, helping lower the vehicle's centre of gravity.
The optional air suspension uses three air chambers at each wheel, not only increasing the travel to provide off-road clearance but also adding redundancy for reliability.
Rear-axle steering
Also available is rear-axle steering, which counter-steers in slow manoeuvres to cut turning radius and steers with the front wheel slightly at speed to increase control.
Off-road programs, which alter a variety of vehicle systems — including throttle response, stability control, torque split, locking and unlocking of centre and rear differentials and ride height — combine with on-road programs — sport, sport plus, normal — to provide what Porsche says is the greatest spread between on-road comfort, racetrack performance and off-road ability.
Garage Pilot
Perhaps the most interesting system optional on the new Cayenne is an autonomous parking program called Garage Pilot. Got a narrow parking spot? Hate having to squeeze out once parked? Garage Pilot has your back.
Choose your spot and it will autonomously park the vehicle for you, while you have comfortably exited the vehicle outside the parking spot.
Boss said the Porsche system, available on its highest option package, will make parking in tight spaces easier on drivers.
"You don't even have to be in the vehicle," Martin Boss, manager, driver assistance systems for Porsche AG, told a group of seven Canadian automotive journalists at an event near Düsseldorf. "In that situation, you will avoid having to open the doors."
With the system, you use your key fob to initiate parking, either in a parallel or perpendicular spot, and the vehicle takes care of everything. It is available on models with the highest option packages only, for now.
It might be the first such system offered on a production vehicle. Mitsubishi showcased a similar system in late 2016, but hasn't announced availability, while Mercedes and BMW are working on or have systems that are similar.
Sinead Brown, spokeswoman for Mercedes-Benz Canada, said the Mercedes system will essentially be an autonomous parkade, where cars will enter the parkade, park themselves and be summoned automatically.
It is limited, for now, to Mercedes' home city, Stuttgart, and is expected to launch in 2018, though Brown said an exact launch date is pending government approval. BMW's system requires you to point the car in the general direction first, and then allows you to get out and guide it in using a key fob.
Boss said the Porsche system doesn't have the ability to be summoned from outside a parking garage, "like from a block away, but by the beginning of the next decade. We're working on that now."
Rim-protection system
The parking system also features a rim-protection system that warns if a rim is about to hit an object, such as a curb. A display on the dash tells the driver which wheel could be damaged.
The new Cayenne will also feature the same 12.3-inch touchscreen display as the 2017 Panamera. It offers online and offline search functions for the navigation, merging search results from its own database as well as results from an online search. If there's a new restaurant, for instance, it may not show up in the car's database, but may in an online search.
The system can also transfer navigation directions to a driver's smartwatch for so-called "last-mile" navigation, such as when the car must be parked some distance from the destination and occupants must walk the rest of the way.
Hi-tech spoiler
In the Turbo, a rear spoiler brings to the Cayenne what spoilers bring to the 911 and Panamera. It alters its angles as needed to maximize fuel economy, increase rear downforce for handling and even pops up to act as an air brake.
Thomas Wolf, manager of aerodynamics for Cayenne, said the spoiler itself doesn't slow the car down from air pressure, but by the increased downforce on the rear wheels. It reduces stopping distance from 250 km/h by two metres.
The spoiler system knows when the panoramic sunroof is open, and adds an even steeper angle. Wolf said the open sunroof lifts airflow off the roof slightly, and this steeper angle allows the spoiler to catch it.
Porsche surface coated brakes
Bringing the 550 horsepower of the Turbo to rest requires brakes, and Porsche, which is known for its expensive but effective ceramic brakes, has added a lower-cost alternative: Porsche Surface Coated Brakes, which use a ventilated cast-iron disc coated at super-high temperature with a tungsten-carbide layer, which reduces wear on the brake pads, helps dramatically cut brake dust and provides better braking.
The Turbo will do 0-100 in 4.1 seconds, or 3.9 seconds with the sport chrono package.
The Cayenne will start at $75,500, the Cayenne S at $92,600 and the Cayenne Turbo at $139,700. Prices do not include destination, as today's $1,250 destination charge may change by launch date.

Nashua police arrest man in knife robbery
November 13. 2012 9:53AM
NASHUA - A local man is under arrest, accused of kicking and punching a teen while robbing him at knifepoint.
Charles G. Daye, 20, no fixed address in Nashua, was arrested Monday morning on a warrant charging him with robbery, a class A felony. Police did not release the name of the 17-year-old boy who was taken to a local hospital to be treated for injuries police describe as not life-threatening.
Police learned of the robbery about 7 p.m. Sunday although it happened earlier that afternoon.
Daye is accused of pulling a knife on the teen, who he knows, in the rear of a Chestnut Street residence. Police said Daye hit the teen in the face, pulled out a knife and told him to empty his pockets. When the teen refused, police said Daye repeatedly punched and kicked him in the head, chest and stomach. What's next: Daye is being held at the Valley Street jail in Manchester on $25,000 cash/surety bail pending arraignment Tuesday in 9th Circuit Court, Nashua District Division.

Suffolk University Law School is launching a master of laws (LLM) program in taxation that will allow Suffolk Law students to receive an LLM and juris doctor (JD) in the same amount of time required for a JD.
"Federal tax law is complex and detailed. Students who intend to focus their practice in taxation or who wish to practice in the corporate, business planning, estate planning or financial sectors must have in-depth knowledge of multiple areas of federal tax law," said Associate Dean Anthony Polito, who is the faculty director of the tax LLM program. "Acquiring an LLM in taxation is typically necessary and certainly always adds value to a student intending to practice in these areas."
The "heart of the program," Polito said, is an intensive 12-credit, 10-week summer program that would allow students to graduate in the same three-year-day-program or four-year-evening-program period required for obtaining a single law degree. At graduation, successful students would receive both JD and LLM degrees.
"Compared to the JD program, the only additional classes would be those in the summer session, so law students could graduate with JD and LLM degrees for about half the cost of attending a separate LLM program," Polito said.
Tax LLM students are required to take an intensive summer session, which will begin in May 2015. In addition to the summer session, tax LLM students will take an additional eight credits of required tax courses and six credits of tax electives.
The tax LLM program also will be available for students who already have completed law school at Suffolk or elsewhere.
Suffolk Law currently offers a general LLM degree and an LLM degree in Global Law and Technology.

In a major policy reversal, City Council tonight opted to raise property taxes for a second year in a row to help bailout the cash-poor school district, rejecting Mayor Nutter's preferred soda tax proposal.
Voting 11-6 in favor, Council approved a plan that would raise property taxes for one year by 3.5 percent, providing $37 million to the district. They also expect to dip into the city's surplus fund balance and raise parking meter fees, bringing the total aid for schools to $53 million.
The deal marked a major political defeat for Nutter, who put all his chips on the line for a second year in the row to try and pass a sugary drinks tax.

The MedicalKeyring Provides for the Storage of a Person's Complete Medical Files While Keeping Them Private and Only Accessible After the Owner Uses Their Fingerprint to Unlock Them
The MedicalKeyring Provides for the Storage of a Person's Complete Medical Files While Keeping Them Private and Only Accessible After the Owner Uses Their Fingerprint to Unlock Them
BAY HARBOR, FL--(Marketwire - Jan 9, 2013) - SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB: SMME) -- Speaking today, the President and CEO of SmartMetric, Inc., Ms. Chaya C. Hendrick, said, "SmartMetric, Inc. to start selling soon direct to the public in the United States, its Electronic Medical Records device."
Designed to be carried on a person's keyring the product, aptly named the "MedicalKeyring"™, has built in memory, a computer processor, a power management system along with advanced text and graphic internal database created by SmartMetric to allow for the storage and display of Medical images and records.
The advanced internal Database resident in the MedicalKeyring™ allows for ease of medical records upload along with plug and play display of the Electronic Medical Records. All records, private medical information is stored and locked inside the device. Access to the medical records is controlled by the SmartMetric Biometric technology. Built into the MedicalKeyring is a miniature fingerprint scanner developed by SmartMetric that operates as the key to unlock the device and allow access to the internally stored Medical Records that are displayed automatically when the MedicalKeyring is inserted into a PC's USB connection. Mass production of the SmartMetric MedicalKeyring uses standard plastic production methods and does not require a specialized plastics manufacturing and assembly.
Unlike SmartMetric's fingerprint activated cards that require specially built plastics mass manufacturing machinery, the MedicalKeyring is now ready for immediate mass production. SmartMetric has decided to release as its first product for sale the MedicalKeyring. This product will be sold in the first instance in the United States using national radio advertising direct to the public. SmartMetric has decided with the business and commercial decision to manufacture and release first its portable and Biometric Electronic Medical Records device to modify the SmartMetric biometric Cards to provide for new components that provide for significant cost reductions for this product. While introducing new components for the Biometric Fingerprint activated card, SmartMetric will be able to concentrate on generating revenue from its soon to be sold MedicalKeyring. The company will then follow on after this products release with the release of the fingerprint activated cards. SmartMetric will be selling its MedicalKeyring for $89.95 in the United States. Using a national radio campaign directing buyers to the company's product site the public will be able to purchase directly from the company giving SmartMetric a low cost of distribution and marketing, thereby enhancing its net profit per unit sold. Radio advertising, apart from being a very cost effective method of mass advertising, allows the company to release its campaign nationally on very short notice and very cost effective advertising production costs.

Ohio man charged in courthouse bomb threat probe
CLEVELAND — An Ohio man charged in the investigation into dozens of bomb threats made to courthouses and other public buildings in five states late last year waived a bond hearing Thursday and was ordered locked up.
The FBI arrested 39-year-old Lonny Bristow of Mansfield on Wednesday in the Mansfield area.
One of those bomb threats was called into Yamhill County Clerk's office the afternoon of November 23rd, 2012 resulting in the evacuation of all county buildings for 45 minutes as they were searched for potential threats.
Nothing suspicious was found.
He had an initial court appearance Thursday in U.S. District Court in Cleveland and waived a bond hearing. Bristow agreed to be held without bond while his case is pending, his public defender, Carolyn Kucharski, said in an email.
Bristow was initially charged with a single count of making a bomb threat by phone.
The FBI said Bristow was arrested in the investigation of bomb threats made in November and December to courthouses and public buildings in Nebraska, Washington, Oregon, Tennessee and Mississippi.
There was no immediate indication of a possible motive.
An FBI agent's affidavit filed with the court said investigators traced numerous bomb threats to prepaid phone cards purchased at a Wal-Mart in Upper Sandusky, located about 40 miles west of Mansfield.
Agents searched Bristow's residence and seized computers, bank cards, weapons and ammunition, the FBI said.
The Mansfield News Journal reported that in 1997 Bristow was labeled a "vexatious litigator." Since 1993, Bristow filed at least 137 lawsuits, targeting law enforcement personnel, judges, media outlets and others.
Although the lawsuits were usually tossed out of court, they added up to thousands of dollars in attorney fees, the newspaper reported.
The paper also reported that Bristow also was the first inmate in Ohio to have his mail privileges revoked. He received a 13-year prison sentence for theft, retaliation, aiding an escape, harassment by an inmate and telephone harassment.
Stephen Anthony, head of the FBI in northern Ohio, said the bomb threats had induced panic for hundreds of people. He called the threats "reckless and malicious."
Kucharski limited her comments to detailing the initial court proceeding and wouldn't comment further.

A Promising Life Of Giving Cut Down In Tragic Mishap
Matthew Costa, 24, of Cheshire, died Sept. 3.
November 5, 2006
By ANNE M. HAMILTON, Special To The Courant
Matthew Costa combined a deep-seated idealism with practicality and, in his own unassuming way, set an example for others.
He was a serious philosophy major who loved soccer, volleyball and the guitar, on which he played both classical and popular music.
He starred in a play in high school and was interested in politics. He was so intrigued by West Africa that he extended his Peace Corps commitment and was planning to be a lawyer so he could help others.
Costa grew up in Cheshire, the son of Frank Costa and Pam Cameron, and had a younger sister, Danielle. Wiry and athletic, he started playing soccer when he was 5 and excelled at running and jumping. He had an independent spirit: Around age 6, Costa flew alone to Washington to visit his grandparents, and the pilot invited him to sit in the cockpit.
In middle school, he participated in a student ambassador program that sent him to England, Scotland and Wales.
"He understood that the world was way bigger than Cheshire," his mother said. In high school, Costa was elected treasurer of his class.
His mathematical skills earned him a scholarship to the University of Connecticut to study actuarial science, but he turned it down in favor of a broader liberal arts education.
"He thought of college as a way of becoming an educated person, not as a vocational-technical idea," his mother said. Costa chose Tulane University in New Orleans because it offered a contrast to his Connecticut upbringing. It was in the South, in a city far from home.
His college major was philosophy, and when his grandfather urged him to be practical and think of his future, "he said he was more concerned with public service," said Bernard Levin, his grandfather. "He wanted to use law to help people who were underprivileged."
"People just liked being around him," said Todd Gilbert, a college friend. "He was incredibly funny. He made you smile."
Costa joined the Peace Corps after graduating from Tulane in 2003, offering to go anywhere. He had studied French in school, so the Peace Corps sent him to Chad, a poor, French speaking landlocked country in north central Africa where there has been sporadic fighting over the years. (The Peace Corps closed its program there this year.)
On an informal Peace Corps scale of adversity, Chad ranked among the toughest assignments.
"Chad had the reputation: If you could do Chad in the Peace Corps, you could do anything," his mother said.
In Mani, a village close to N'Djamena, Chad's capital, Costa taught English and helped start a soccer league. When he realized that the children had no concept of geography, he had them paint a large world map on a wall of the school so they could see where they lived and where he came from.
"He really wanted them to understand where they fit in the world," his mother said. The village was isolated, and sometimes his family didn't hear from him for two months at a time. But they quickly learned that he was happy.
"He loved Africa," his mother said.
After his two years in Chad were up, he asked to extend his commitment and was assigned to Mali, another French-speaking country in Africa. "He wanted to make a change on a small level and be an ambassador for America," said Chris Kennerlly, a high school friend.
Costa was assigned to Kita, a less-isolated village than his previous assignment. He had a refrigerator and a cell phone that worked. He could e-mail from a café in the village.
Besides teaching English, Costa started a weekly radio show featuring American music that made him a minor celebrity.
Malian women traditionally pound millet, a native grain, into flour, which is boiled into a porridge eaten with sauce. Costa gave them a grinder that made their job quicker and easier. He also taught Malian men how to repair water pumps.
He played on the local soccer team and worked with "Shoes for Mali" after learning that two of his players shared one pair of sneakers.
Last summer, Costa and three other volunteers decided to build a sailboat.
For their first trip, they were sailing the Niger River. Photographs show their wide smiles.
The wind propelled them more quickly than they had anticipated, so they lowered the sail. They were approaching rapids and rowing against the tide, trying to reach an inlet, when the mast hit a high-tension wire. Costa and Justin Brady, a volunteer from Oregon, were thrown from the boat. Costa and Brady died, but the other volunteers survived.
Costa had been scheduled to return to the United States two weeks later to take his law-school admissions test.
"He was very intelligent, very insightful," said Nelson Cronyn, Costa's director in Chad. "He was able to teach and stay positive with teaching, despite the fact that the school was dysfunctional and cheating was rampant."
Costa talked often about politics and his career plans. "He probably would have remained working in development," Cronyn said.
"I imagine he would have had a significant impact. … I imagine he would have been very, very successful."
To reach the family of Matthew Costa, please send an email to his mom, Pam Cameron, at firstname.lastname@example.com
If you are a friend or family member of this volunteer and would like to contribute a picture, a story, or something different, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Matt's mother, Pamela Cameron, was especially wonderful filling the room with love and support and great stories about Matt.
Joyful Holidays to Matt, Pam, & Danielle!! Thinking of you.
Best to you always,

The Orthodox Church News Magazine
Editorial of January-February 2007
Volume 43, Numbers 1/2
"The Orthodox Church" News Magazine
Editorial of January-February 2007
Volume 43, Numbers 1/2
Father Alexander Schmemann, writing some 30 years ago about Orthodoxy in America, observed that our task is to be "truly Orthodox and truly American."
At the end of last year, I participated in a candid and wide-ranging conversation on the subject on the state of Orthodoxy in America. One of the other participants made the observation that the emphasis on being truly American may be the priority for those who see the immigrant story as their family point of entry into America, while for those who have family histories deeply rooted in the American past and in the origins of America, and came to Orthodoxy as converts, the emphasis is on being truly Orthodox.
At either end of this equation, it is possible to use this theme as a mutual "put down," as a way of feeling superior to the other and questioning the motives of the other. The dialogue last year was not like this at all. It seemed to me that it opened a useful conversation, and invited reflection.
At the end of the 18th century, Orthodoxy comes to North America through the missionary work of Orthodox monks from Russia. Towards the end of the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century, conditions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East bring many Orthodox people to the New World. In the 20th century, many Americans unconnected to the Orthodox cultures and immigrant stories find the true faith in the Orthodox witness to the Gospel and become members of the Orthodox Church. In all of these dimensions of Orthodox experience, America and Orthodoxy encounter one another in a living and mutually challenging way.
Father Alexander's formulation—"truly Orthodox and truly American"—invites us to go beyond polarity and division. In his vision, to be Orthodox and to be American is simply to be faithful to the Christian mission as given to us by Jesus Christ through the apostles. Orthodoxy and America are not in contradiction to one another. Orthodoxy is not nostalgia about "another time" and "another place." America challenges Orthodoxy to come out of self-isolation and its tendency to self absorption and to fulfill its calling to bear witness to the Gospel in every culture, to be present here and now. Finally, to be truly Orthodox and truly American is to be free to challenge America and its powerful and often self-absorbed culture.
The challenge to be truly Orthodox and truly American is not addressed primarily—and certainly not only—to the individual member of the Orthodox Church. Our concern is about the vision and mission and orientation of the Church herself. Is the life of the Church both faithful and dynamic in the effort to be truly Orthodox and truly American? Or is Orthodoxy for us a self-evident, self enclosed, private spiritual world which we enter from time to time as a refuge from the pressures of America? Is America a self-evident culture and set of values determining our "real" day-to-day life and not requiring any reflection on our part in reference to the values of the Gospel and the truths of our Faith?
While giving priority to the vision, mission, and orientation of the Church, each one of us has a responsibility personally to live up to the Church's vocation and calling. Thus, when the influence and impact of our personal stories adds up to an emphasis either on being "truly Orthodox" or on being "truly American," we are called to be open to correction. In a profound way, the vision and mission of the Church becomes the vision and mission to which we are faithful.

To see Sarah Shutt, you would never know that at age 24, she has had 21 surgeries. You also might not realize what a determined individual she is.
Sarah was born with spina bifida, a condition that causes abnormal development of the back bones, spinal cord, and the surrounding nerves and fluid-filled sac. Her orthopaedic surgeries were to help her walk and function like anyone else.
Now Sarah is volunteering at the place where she spent so much time – Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center – and planning to get a degree in health care.
Sarah's first experience with the Medical Center was as a patient at the Amos Cottage clinic. It was there that she met Dr. L. Andrew Koman, an orthopaedic surgeon who has specialty training in pediatrics and hand surgery.
Sarah's surgeries started after birth with the closure of her spine and the addition of a shunt, both common needs for children born with spina bifida. Over the last 20 years she had numerous orthopaedic surgeries and urological repairs at Wake Forest Baptist.
"I started having hip issues when I was 15," Sarah said. "I walked as much as I could and I did not want to be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. However, my hip was bone on bone. My socket was gone and my hip popped out of joint all the time."
After X-rays and exams, Dr. Koman told Sarah he could take pelvic bone and create a hip socket for her. "In spite of therapy, bracing and surgery, her hip slowly migrated from its socket because of muscle imbalance," he said. "This resulted in pain and arthritis."
Finally when Sarah was 18 years old, Dr. Koman did the surgery. "This procedure reshaped her socket and provided support for her hip, thereby increasing her stability, preventing hip dislocation and decreasing pain," he said.
After surgery, Sarah was in the hospital for four days. When she returned home, she could not sit up or get out of bed for a month.
"The second month I still was not allowed to walk, but I could sit up and get out of bed," she said. "I was in therapy for a month after that, two to three times a week."
Soon Sarah could do everything but horseback riding. "I had done therapeutic riding for years, but Dr. Koman told me the bone needed three to four months to completely heal." Four and a half months after her orthopaedic surgery, Sarah was back on a horse.
Sarah has been taking time off from college to combine her clerical and medical interests. "When my dad got a volunteer letter from Wake Forest Baptist, I signed up," she said. "I have been coming here since I was four and have always liked it. I get to see babies born with spina bifida…like me."
If you're interested in getting a consultation about your own particular orthopaedic needs, schedule an appointment online today.

This is the sixth episode of "California Matters," a series of videos about sustainable agriculture and healthy eating that I produced in collaboration with the Global Food Initiative at the University of California.
It's no secret that, although progress has been made, school lunches need help. This is a national project, and an important one. One of the proving grounds is San Francisco, where the school district is joining with researchers from the Department of Agriculture and the University of California, Berkeley's School of Public Health to evaluate a project designed to increase school lunch participation, improve nutrition, reduce waste and ultimately counter tendencies toward obesity.
I took a look at a pilot project for this program by visiting Roosevelt Middle School and chatting with Zetta Reicker, who's the director of the school system's student nutrition services, and Kristine A. Madsen, an associate professor at the school of public health. (I also talked to a few kids, and ate lunch. Which was — for institutional food — better than O.K.)

FAQ, Troubleshooting, and Known Bugs
How can I change the FOV in game? Will that influence my leaderboard score or achievements?
Type this in the console:
(or whatever FOV you like)
Changing the FOV is not considered a cheat and will not influence the leaderboards or achievements.
My game has crashed, it shows an "application has malfunctioned" message. What should I do?
Please locate these two files: Sam3.log and Sam3.rpt. They should be in the folder "<steam installation>/SteamApps/common/serious sam 3/Log/". Then create a post in this forum and paste the contents of those two files. (They are just text files and you can open them with Notepad.) Please create a new thread for a crash so it's easier to track each user's individual problem.
The game won't even start, or crashes on startup, or exits while starting with error messages about missing files. Why is that? What can I do?
This could be caused by a myriad of reasons, but here are the solutions that help most often:
Game crashes on startup for no apparent reason, or behaves weirdly during the game (controls misbehaving, random erratic movements, etc.)
Issues like these with various games have often been reported to be caused by some intrusive antivirus and personal firewall programs. Sometimes just disabling the program in question or excluding Serious Sam 3 from checking may help.
However, with some of those programs, the only remedy is to completely uninstall the program. This is because, even when "disabled", the program is still installed as a low-level system driver and interferes into the process space of the game.
Some such programs that were known to cause problems like this in the past are:
Some of the sounds in the game are missing or do not play. What should i do?
Check your Windows sound settings and make sure that the speaker configuration is correct.
What do I need to run the dedicated server for Serious Sam 3?
Go to the Library>Tools section of the Steam client and find the item named "Serious Sam 3 Dedicated Server" and install it. Then just start the tool, if you want to run on default settings. For information on customization, please see Help/DedicatedServer_Readme.txt .
The server can also be installed using the HLDSUpdateTool, using gamename "serioussam3".
For easy configuration of your dedicated server, you can use the Dedicated Server Runner made by Angelo.

MOUNT PLEASANT — As part of his usual ritual after waking up, the 31-year-old man sat on the porch of his Huro Drive mobile home and smoked a cigarette Wednesday morning.
But two or three gunshots, he said, jolted him from his favorite spot. He peered through the bushes and saw three men running from a green Buick Century parked at the end of Dingle Road, which parallels his street in the community southeast of highways 17 and 41.
He couldn't see the men's faces, just what they were wearing.
He was more concerned about whether anyone was hurt. He couldn't tell.
"I saw the car pull up and thought it was normal because cars come back here and park all the time," he said. "When I heard the gunshots, I jumped off the porch and saw them running."
The witness soon learned that Solomon Ancrum, 21, of North Charleston had been fatally shot inside the driver's seat of the 2001 Buick. Authorities scoured nearby woods and searched abandoned homes for suspects, but they didn't find any.
The resident declined to be identified because the perpetrators were still on the loose and he feared retribution. He called 911 after the shooting and later relayed his story to three detectives as he surveyed the crime scene.
Town police officers were the first to arrive at the scene just before 11 a.m., but the Charleston County Sheriff's Office took control of the investigation in the unincorporated area. Their cars packed the street in front of a line of townhouses on Dingle Road.
Sheriff Al Cannon said Ancrum already was dead when officers from the Mount Pleasant Police Department arrived. Cannon did not say whether any evidence at the scene indicated the circumstances of his death.
The Charleston County Coroner's Office identified the victim.
Two of the three black men who fled were about 5-foot-9 and 150 pounds. One wore a red shirt and black shorts, and the other had a green shirt and black shorts.
The third man was larger than the others, according to Cannon's description, and was clad in a white tank top and tan shorts.
Residents reported seeing them fleeing north toward U.S. Highway 17.
The eastern end of Dingle Road, where the shots were fired, consists of a paved circle, where motorists who hit the dead end can turn around. The grass is well-trimmed, but no homes are located on the street there.
"It does provide a measure of privacy," Cannon said. "That could be a factor in what occurred. But there's nothing to suggest that it's any more than coincidental."
Nothing indicated that a pursuit between two vehicles had occurred or that another car had been involved, the sheriff said.
On Huro Drive, the resident who heard the gunfire said the men "skipped at first, then took off running at full speed." He didn't see whether any of them had a gun or whether one of them might have been hurt.
The resident has lived in the community since 1991, he said, and now shares the home with his mother.
He said his father often called authorities about cars that parked on the Dingle Road turnaround, which had been cleared of trees in favor of short-cut grass. His father would report the cars as suspicious, he said. Many of them turned up stolen.
"They just come back here and hang out," he said. "I walk my street three or four times a day. Each time, it's a different car here."
A watery ditch separated the man's property from the shooting site.
On the other side, forensics experts marked items on the grass near the Buick as other investigators photographed the sedan's interior. Three of the doors were open as investigators waved metal detectors over the ground.
Along the nearby dirt-surfaced Huro Drive and the paved Sam Edwards Road, officers and deputies with dogs and rifles looked for signs of the culprits.
A day care and a Walgreens pharmacy were closed during the search as a helicopter's rotors whirred overhead. Men wearing ties sunned themselves in lawn chairs outside the Jehovah's Witness hall on Dingle Road.
Along U.S. 17, a woman tried to sell sweetgrass baskets, but she couldn't take her eyes off the stream of police and sheriff's cars visiting the crime scene.

SHH FAQ! Avatars, Sigs, Custom Titles, Infractions, and More! New Members READ!
ALL users have groups associated to them. Primary and Secondary.
Many things on this board, function off of the users Primary Group.
Groups and their permissions are as follows:
Level 0
Users in this groups have between 0 and 1 posts.
Users are in this group when they have 2 posts.
Users are in this group when they have been a Hypester for a week.
Users are in this group when they have been a Hypester for 2 Weeks and have made 100 posts.
Users are in this group when they have been a Hypester for 1 Month and have made 300 posts.
Users are in this group when they have been a Hypester for 3 Months and have made 1000 posts.
Users are in this group when they have been a Hypester for 6 Months and have made 2000 posts.
Question 1: I have the right number of posts. How come I still can't get a sig/custom title/avatar/etc.?
Answer: There is a series of scripts that run on the board and run only ONCE EVERY 30 minutes. This script promotes users from one level to another. This means, if you post your 100th post, you will not suddenly have the abilities of the Advanced Users-Level 3 group, UNTIL this script runs. So basically, you will have to wait up to a half hour for this to happen.
Question 2: Why am I getting flooded with emails from threads I posted in?
Answer: Subsciptions. You have the thread subscribed WITH sending you IMMEDIATE email. This means the moment someone posts in the thread, you get an email. The only way to change it, is change your Subscription Method in your Profile then DELETE the subscription that is sending you the email, and re-subscribe it (in that order).
Question 3: Why do some users have a + next to their name in the Whos Online list on the bottom of the main page?
Answer: Those are users you have on your Buddy List. Simple.
Question 4: How big can my attachments be, and what can I attach?
Answer: 50KB files is as large as you can go. You can upload the following files, bmp, doc, gif, jpg, pdf, png, psd, txt, zip - Be careful with the ZIP format.
Question 5: How do I find out whether or not my buddies in my Buddy List are online?
Answer: Click on "Quick Links" at the top of every page (next to "Log Out") and, at the drop-down menu, click on "Open Buddy List". A list of your buddies shall appear, indicating who among them are online and offline, with a checkbox next to each name for you to send a PM to them.
Question 6: Attachments, what size and file type can be attached?
Answer: 150KB is now the max size. As for file types...
bmp, doc, gif, jpg, pdf, png, psd, txt, zip
Question 7: How did I get a referral? Did I break a rule?
Answer: Whenever a new user registers onto SuperHeroHype, there is a line that they can fill out called "Referrals". That's simply asking "Who on this site told you about it?". Who referred you to this site? It has absolutely NOTHING to do with behaviour WHATSOEVER.
Question 8: Why can't I have a signature/avatar/custom title?
Answer: Simple. You've not posted enough, or been here long enough. See above for post requirements.
Question 9: How big can my sig be? Can I have an image in my sig?
Answer: Signatures can be no larger than 5 or 6 lines in normal font size. Multiple lines of extra large type [size 5 or higher] or excessive spacing is NOT permitted [this, however, is not such a big deal if you include SPOILER tags in your signature, since in these tags, they do not stretch the page]. If you choose to have more lines, or wish to have two or more YouTube videos in your sig as well, you may do so, providing you place it in a spoiler tag. Violators will be warned ONCE to change the sig. If the sig is not fixed, the poster will lose the ability to have a signature.
Question 10: I'm tired of being SHHPoster61284. Can I get a name Change?
Answer: Yes, only by specific Administrators
Answer: Its a security feature. We have started having having bots and automated scripts posting on the forums. They never reply to existing threads, they create new ones. This allows us to not allow brand new user accounts to post new threads, but can reply to them. Once they hit 2 posts, they can then start their own threads.
Question 12: How do I write custom text for a link, or even add an image to my post?
Answer: All your bulletin board code can be found here. If you look at the bottom of any thread, it's the first link under "Posting Rules".

Re: SHH FAQ! Avatars, Sigs, Custom Titles, Infractions, and More! New Members READ!
1) What -is- an infraction, anyway?
A) Defined as a "breach; violation; infringement of the rules". Basically, you did something we generally don't allow, and got caught. Infractions are generally valid for about a period of 2-7 days, dependant on the severity of the offense. Any infraction given is marked not only on your account, but also documented for the moderator staff to review and have a record. Any infraction or warning is documented in a forum in the mod section, and every staff member sees and reviews most infractions regardless of who gives it. Any infraction that we feel is serious enough for a ban, or a general repeat troublemaker does get discussed before anything drastic is done.
2) What do you mean, 'valid' ?
A) Every infraction you get has an expiration date. Some are 3 days, some are longer. Everytime you get an infraction, it's documented on your account. When an infraction is valid, it counts as a point. A certain amount of points at a time can earn you a probationary ban. If, for example, you were to get two infractions one day, and then the very next day, get another, you will have earned yourself a day off. If, however, you get two, and then don't get another for two weeks, then you're fine, since the points have expired. There is a caveat, however. The actual infraction will NEVER expire - it will be on your account until the account is physically removed from the website entirely. If you were a cut up early on in your career, and you calmed down, any infractions you get will still add to your total. The site will automatically ban a user with 10 infractions, though any infractions that have been reversed should not count towards that number. If, however, through some fluke or act of weirdness, you ARE banned, and your number of valid infractions are less than 10, then contact us, and we can review it.
3) Why did I get an infraction for this, and another poster didn't, even though it's basically the same thing?
A) The short answer is, it's up to the moderator, as well as your history as a poster. If you're a model poster who happens to slip up and post a pic with a censor bypass, we may just delete and warn, especially if the censored word isn't especially super vulgar. Alternately, if you've got a long history full of times you've been a smartaleck, or have been skirting the line like a kid holding his finger in front of your face saying "I'm not touching you!", then you're most likely gonna get infracted for this. Often times, depending on the severity of the incident, you may just get a warning [either in the thread, or an offical one - more on that later], but this is not guaranteed, since, again, this is entirely reliant upon the moderator in question.
4) What I said was a gag between me and my friend! Why did I get infracted for it?
A) If "I meant no harm" was a valid defense, we wouldn't have a prison system. It's not always whether or not the person the comment was directed at was insulted, but the fact that since this is a public board, a fellow user can be insulted, even as an innocent bystander. Examples of this is if you see an old friend post, and reply "Whaddap, my n***er?!" That'll get you infracted, dare I say, by any current staff member.
5) But "this Mod/or this Administrator" has it in for me! He/she won't be fair to me!
A) All infractions that are given are automatically sent to our "Infraction Forum" and are seen by the other moderators, administrators and site owner. If any of us feel that it needs further discussion we have that discussion. BUT, If you feel as if you received an infraction unfairly, you can come to any admin , or even a different moderator, and the infraction will be looked at. While not a promise that it will be over-ruled, we do understand that sometimes things seem to be a bigger deal at that moment than they are twenty minutes in the future, or that you may have already been disciplined by a different staffer.
6) What is a warning?
A) It's just that. It's not an official "You're in trouble!", but moreso an "If you keep this up, you will be". Warnings [Offical and non] are documented on your account, and in the case of offical warnings, they are also documented in the same manner that infractions are. If a warning has already been given related to a certain thing, such as censor bypassing, then an infraction is a lot more likely to happen.
7) What's the difference between an official warning and an unofficial one?
A) Official warnings are given to you just like an infraction is. You get a PM titled "You have received a warning" with a copy of the post, as well as a note from the staffer who issued it, explaining why it's against the rules. Unofficial warnings are ones that are given by staff members in a thread, or in a user-to-user PM, instead of using the installed system.

Orange MIDI ports - unable to use controller (Windows)
- Live Versions: All
- Operating System: Windows
- One or more MIDI controllers are not being recognized by Live
- In Live's MIDI preferences, the related MIDI ports appear in orange
In general, an orange color means that a MIDI port is not available for Live - either because another application is using this port at that moment, or because Windows believes a different application to be using it.
Most likely, the MIDI communication is handled via USB, with either a MIDI interface or dedicated USB controllers involved, and the whole USB port handling is a Windows task. If you switch those devices off and on, change their USB ports or generally change anything with the current USB configuration, Windows often doesn't update correctly. This may result in ports being blocked for use with Live.
- Close all running applications that might use the MIDI ports, including Live.
- Disconnect all USB hardware.
- Reinstall or update the drivers for your MIDI and USB hardware. Make sure to completely uninstall the old drivers first.
- Reconnect your USB hardware one after another. Try different USB ports per device and re-start Live in between. Make sure that there are no other applications running that might use the MIDI ports (e.g. plug-ins running stand-alone).
- Read this article from Microsoft's support, which gives further solutions and workarounds for USB ports.

Gerard Butler Explains His Drastic Weight Loss
Gerard Butler lands at LAX Airport after flying in from NYC on Thursday (September 15) in Los Angeles.
The 41-year-old Scottish star was in the Big Apple to promote his new movies, Coriolanus and Machine Gun Preacher.
Gerry also attended the Diesel Black Gold show where he chatted with Us Weekly about his recent weight loss.
"I ate my last meal in October and I run about 40 miles a day," he joked. "It's just doing a lot of cardio and extremely watching what I eat. I stopped lifting big weights and I'm doing yoga."
"If I wear a long shirt, everyone says, 'Oh my, God! He lost so much weight.' But this is how I look," he added. "I just used to be a lot bigger. But now I'm surfing. I'm doing a surf movie so I have to slim down. I don't know … maybe I'm sick or something!"
FYI: Gerard is wearing a Rogue plaid shirt and dark olive jacket.

A mask is an object normally worn on the face, typically for protection, disguise, performance or entertainment. Masks have been used since antiquity for both ceremonial and practical purposes. Though usually worn on the face they may also be positioned for effect elsewhere on the wearer's body.
- Young people, who are still uncertain of their identity, often try on a succession of masks in the hope of finding the one which suits them — the one, in fact, which is not a mask.
- W. H. Auden, Forewords and Afterwords, "One of the Family", p. 369 (1973).
- One thinker no less brilliant than the heresiarch himself, but in the orthodox tradition, advanced a most daring hypothesis. This felicitous supposition declared that there is only one Individual, and that this indivisible Individual is every one of the separate beings in the universe, and that those beings are the instruments and masks of divinity itself.
- Jorge Luis Borges, Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius (1940), first translated into English by James E. Irby (1961).
- Variant translation: This happy conjecture affirmed that there is only one subject, that this indivisible subject is every being in the universe and that these beings are the organs and masks of the divinity.
- We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
- Paul Laurence Dunbar, We Wear The Mask, in the 1913 collection of his work, The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar.
- Fezzik: Why are you wearing a mask? Were you burned by acid or something like that?
Man in Black: Oh, no, it's just they're terribly comfortable, I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.
- The Princess Bride (film), written by William Goldman (1987).
- Fire is to represent truth because it destroys all sophistry and lies; and the mask is for lying and falsehood which conceal truth.
- Leonardo da Vinci, The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci (1938), X Studies and Sketches for Pictures and Decorations, as translated by Edward MacCurdy.
- If you have abandoned one faith, do not abandon all faith. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose. Or is it the same faith under another mask?
- Graham Greene, The Comedians (1966).
- A few years ago, very few teenagers wore masks. But many wear them today and the numbers are increasingly very rapidly. The reason is that these teenagers are looking for something to hide behind. They are constantly having to communicate with friends via SMS and emails and this is making them so tired that it is a relief to wear a masks. It is a way to hide their feelings.
- Yohei Harada in "Medical masks become new trend for shy Japanese teenagers", by Danielle Demetriou, The Telegraph, 28 Jan 2011.
- It's a terrible thing to be alone — yes it is — it is — but don't lower your mask until you have another mask prepared beneath — as terrible as you like — but a mask.
- Katherine Mansfield, in a letter to her future husband, John Middleton Murry (July 1917), published in The Collected Letters of Katherine Mansfield, Vol. I.
- All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask.
- Herman Melville in Moby-Dick (1851).
- I'm not questioning your powers of observation, I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
- "V" in V for Vendetta (2006) based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore.
- Beneath this mask there is more than flesh... beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy... and ideas are bulletproof.
- "V" in V for Vendetta (2006) based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore.
- Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
- Conor aka Santa Claus in Oscar Wilde's, The Critic as Artist (1891).
- Mrs. Squeamish: And that demureness, coyness, and modesty, that you see in our faces in the boxes at plays, is as much a sign of a kind woman, as a vizard-mask in the pit.
Mrs. Dainty: For, I assure you, women are least masked when they have the velvet vizard on.
- William Wycherley, The Country Wife (1665)
