Critics of Catholic church closings in Ohio press for reopening parishes spared by Vatican
CLEVELAND (AP) ' Critics of widespread church closings in the Cleveland Catholic Diocese called Thursday for the bishop to implement an extraordinary Vatican ruling and quickly reopen 13 churches in the predominantly Catholic city.
Bishop Richard Lennon must decide whether to abide by the ruling from the Vatican's Congregation for the Clergy or challenge it before the church's top court.
Spokesman Robert Tayek said Thursday the bishop has unofficial copies of the ruling but must await certified documents from the Vatican to comment. Lennon has 60 days to appeal.
Patricia Schulte-Singleton, who leads the Endangered Catholics group that challenged the closings, called on Lennon to meet with affected parishioners and reopen the churches.
"I think it would be in his best interest as well as the diocese's best interest," she said.
The Vatican decision represents a rare instance in which Rome has reversed a U.S. bishop on the shutdown of churches. The Congregation for the Clergy ruled that Lennon failed to follow church law and procedure in the closings three years ago.
The 13 churches were among 50 shut down or merged by Lennon, who said the diocese could no longer keep them open because of declining numbers of parishioners and a shortage of priests.
The cutbacks, which left the Cleveland Diocese with 174 parishes, were prompted in part by the drop in the city's population as people moved to the suburbs ' a phenomenon that has also led to church closings in other cities including Detroit, Philadelphia and Boston.
Nicholas Cafardi, who has a degree in church law and teaches at the Duquesne University law school in Pittsburgh, said the Vatican decision was a rarity because closing a church "is based on diocesan pastoral concerns that the bishop, presumably, knows better than Rome."
He said the Vatican has recently required bishops in Boston, Syracuse, N.Y., and Allentown, Pa., to keep once-closed churches open for worship.
A potentially lengthy appeal to the Vatican's top court by Lennon would pit him against the powerful church office which ruled against him, she said.
Ildiko Korossy, 69, a member of the Hungarian-language St. Emeric Church, said she was concerned that the Vatican ruling wasn't the end of the dispute.
"It's good news in one way but then it's sweet and bitter in a way because what if the bishop appeals it? And I'm hoping he doesn't," she said.
FutureChurch, a Cleveland-based coalition which lobbies for a stronger voice for lay Catholics, called on Lennon to skip any appeal and restore affected parishes.
"We hope the diocese will reach out to appealing parishioners and reconcile by engaging them in the planning to restore them to their parish homes," Sister Chris Schenk, leader of FutureChurch, said in an email statement.
"This has gone on too long. Cleveland Catholics need to heal and begin rebuilding positive relationships with diocesan leadership," the statement said. "This would go a long way toward restoring credibility and confidence in the bishop."
The eight-county Cleveland diocese, 23rd largest in the U.S., has about 710,000 Catholics, 27 percent of the overall population.

Thunderbird Tower RestorationPosted: Updated:
GLENDALE -- The Tower is at the heart of the Thunderbird campus and its past is integral to Thunderbird's original "global perspective." It was built in late 1939 and served as the Air Control Tower and Officers' quarters during the operation of the Thunderbird 1 Army Air Field, where American, British, Canadian and Chinese pilots trained during WWII. The base was a free-enterprise venture funded by several Hollywood stars including Jimmy Stewart, Hoagy Carmichael, Henry Fonda and Cary Grant. It was designed to resemble a Thunderbird, based on the Indian God of Thunder.

EQUAL RIGHTS: Advocates Celebrate Ruling
Many Iowans converged Wednesday evening across the state to celebrate the long-anticipated US Supreme Court ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act.
"Today is a great day to celebrate and to come together and recognize this is our history, this is happening as we go through these stages of the civil rights movement," Iowa senator, Matt McCoy said.
One Iowa organized several rallies, including the one at the Iowa State Capitol, to celebrate equal rights for all couples.
The ruling means the federal government has to recognize married same-sex couples in the twelve state, including Iowa, where it's been legalized.
The act had defined marriage as only between a man and a woman, but the court said the law violated the rights of same-sex couples by demoting their marriages to second-class status.
The Supreme Court voted in favor by 5-4.

The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement advising residents that a strong Pacific storm could bring strong winds and locally heavy rain to Western Washington on Saturday, Aug. 29.
A much stronger system will impact the region on Saturday with the potential to bring winds of 20 to 35 mph with gusts of 45 to 50 mph to parts of the coast, northwest, and I-5 corridor. Winds this strong usually occur in fall and winter.
Thus this wind event could create more problems due to the deciduous trees still having their leaves. This will make the branches more prone to snapping in strong winds. In addition to the possibility of downed tree limbs, the gusty winds could cause local power outages.
Rain will be locally heavy at times on Saturday. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are forecast for the coast and in the mountains with a half to one inch elsewhere during the 24 hour period ending at 5 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 30. This amount of rain will likely end or help reduce the size of any ongoing wildfires.
In addition to the wind and rain, temperatures will be below normal on Saturday. Highs are forecast to be mainly in the mid to upper 60s across the Lowlands.
Those planning outdoor activities in the mountains in particular this weekend should pay close attention to the latest forecasts from the National Weather Service.

Townes Steve Earle
New West
Even if you weren't familiar with the music of Townes Van Zandt, his tragic life, or his friendship with Steve Earle, the newly-released Townes would stand on its own two feet as a great Steve Earle album.
Knowing all of the above, however, makes Townes almost too raw and lovely and haunting. For all that's been said, sung, and written about Townes Van Zandt since his death in 1997, this album may be the greatest tribute of all. To listen to Townes is to witness a deeply private moment: you're standing alongside Steve Earle as he nestles a beautiful handmade marker into the dirt of his hero's grave.
It's that good.
Townes is more than a tribute album; if Bob Dylan recorded an album of Woody Guthrie songs, that would be a tribute album. Referring to Townes Van Zandt as a mentor to Steve Earle isn't enough he was a friend. From when they first crossed paths in 1972 during a performance at a Houston club (Earle ripped through a blazing version of Van Zandt's own "Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold" to silence his heckling from the audience), the pair shared a bond that remained intact for the next 25 years. There was sweetness (Steve's son Justin Townes Earle, born in 1982) and there was weirdness (a shitfaced Van Zandt attempting to give a badly strung-out Earle a temperance lecture at one point in the early '90s). In the end, Steve Earle cleaned up and began creating the best music of his life; Townes Van Zandt, always admired by his peers and generally ignored by the public, withered and began to dry up creatively. His was the sort of death the elderly suffer: a heart attack following surgery for a broken hip at the age of 52.
Townes begins with Van Zandt's most well-known (and most-often covered) song, "Pancho and Lefty". Earle treats it lovingly a basic guitar and vocal arrangement with subtle background instrumentation. In lesser hands, the performance could come off as a tired clichEarle simply nails it and moves on.There are blues: the just-right grassiness of the driving "White Freightliner Blues" and "Delta Momma Blues" (both featuring Dennis Crouch, Tim O'Brien, Darrel Scott, and Shad Cobb), the road-weary Dylanish "Colorado Girl", and the harsher, Lightnin' Hopkins-sounding "Brand New Companion". There's front-porch sweetness in the gentle sway of "Don't Take It Too Bad" and Earle's duets with wife Allison Moorer "To Live Is To Fly" and "Loretta" (the latter sounding like a country cousin to Neil Young's "Dance Dance Dance"). Time bends, buckles, and gives way to allow Justin Townes Earle to duet with father Steve on the very song that silenced the heckling Van Zandt 37 years ago – "Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold" machine-gun lyrics and all.
And then there is "Lungs". The original, in its minor-keyed finger-picked starkness, was ominous – Earle's version on Townes is absolutely frightening. His acoustic guitar leads us into the song, picking up where Van Zandt last left the rolling riff. Suddenly, the guitar drops out and all we have is Earle's vocal, miked like an old Howlin' Wolf blues song. By the second verse the acoustic guitar is back and Earle's growl is free of effects, but now there's a percussion part that sounds like the hand claps of skeletons. Slowly emerging from the shadows comes the electric guitar of Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), evolving from a moan to a hounds-of-hell roar by the final verse with the rhythm pounding down on top of it. The song explodes into sheets of madness, abruptly crashing to a smoking, smoldering end. It is the most terrifying 2 minutes and 18 seconds of recorded music you've ever heard. (Is this what the demons who pursued Townes Van Zandt sounded like in his head?)
No doubt there's a part of Steve Earle that needed to make Townes simply because of his love for his departed friend. When he was done, he could have chosen to tuck this music away. Instead, he chose to share it with us.
The question is, are we worthy?

'American Idol' Recap: Another Hopeful Is Sent Packing
And then there were eight, as Paul Jolley bites the dust and Jimmy Iovine says the judges "coddle" contestants.
After Wednesday's performance night of Beatles songs, it seemed apparent that "She's Leaving Home" would not be the theme on Thursday.
After all, this season is American Idol's year of the woman, and in case viewers missed that memo, all five girls got together Fifth Harmony style for a group rendition of "Here, There and Everywhere" in the middle of Thursday's results show.
No, the appropriate theme song was more likely, "Nowhere Man," as season 12 will be known from here on out as the end of the "White Guy With the Guitar" era, as America purged yet another male singer from the show. This time, Paul Jolley was shown the door.
VIDEO: 'American Idol' Season 12: Red Carpet Interviews
Jolley's version of "Eleanor Rigby," previously handled by season-seven winner David Cook and season-nine finalist Michael Lynche, failed to resonate with Idol viewers, and his appearance in the bottom three did not shock Jimmy Iovine, who earlier in the show said the 23-year-old Palmersville, Tenn. native had a good voice, but was "not ready for primetime."
"He did make some very simple mistakes," he said.
Joining Jolley in the bottom three were Devin Velez and -- surprise! -- Amber Holcomb, whose performance of "She's Leaving Home" almost turned out to be prophetic.
"I definitely think Amber should not be in the bottom three," said Nicki Minaj. "That's common sense."
As for the remaining top eight, Iovine had a laundry list of descriptions for each of them. To wit: Angie Miller is "too dramatic"; Candice Glover is "the natural"; Kree Harrison is "great" when she isn't oversinging; and Velez has a "great ear."
Iovine disagreed with America, as Holcomb was in his top three. He was clearly miffed with Burnell Taylor for his lack of knowledge of Beatles songs, and had choice words for Lazaro Arbos, whom he practically called a liar regarding his lack of preparation for what he said was the "worst performance of the night." To make his point, Iovine hammered away at Arbos (saved by sympathetic Idol voters) like an angry school teacher, pointing out that the Florida ice-cream scooper had five days to learn his song.
The Interscope label head also had plenty of ire for the judges, whom he felt were not helping the contestants enough with their constant positivity.
STORY: 'American Idol' Takes on the Beatles: 10 Things You Didn't See on TV
"Critique is good, as long as it's consistent," he said. "But you can't coddle people."
So, we say goodbye to Jolley, but shed no tears. He still has a spot on the tour this summer, and, as a small consolation, he was given his own "Paul Jolley Day," which Ryan Seacrest presented to the young hopeful before dashing all of his confetti dreams with a trip to the stools of doom.
Also appearing on the show was season 10 alum Casey Abrams, who re-interpreted "I Saw Her Standing There" with his stand-up bass and jazz-man style.
Jessica Sanchez returned to the Idol stage in grand style, performing her new single, "Tonight" with special guest Ne-Yo. Sanchez looked super-comfortable in the pop genre and added something to season 12 that has been lacking for weeks: up-tempo energy. We hope the top eight take a cue from her for next week's Motown-themed show.

Efforts are underway to organize a run club for Kindergarten through eighth grade students, their parents, and faculty and staff of the Allen County School District.
"I have been told that there is a large interest in the elementary and middle school grades for students that want to run," explained high school educator Matthew Holmes. "I want to motivate faculty and students to run."
Holmes is a first-year educator in Allen County but has a strong background in running. For six years, he served as the cross country and track coach at Bowling Green Junior High School. Holmes is interested in helping the Allen County-Scottsville High School build the numbers for their cross country and track teams. Kentucky High School Athletic guidelines limit high school participation to middle and high school students only. However, Holmes sees the new run club as a way to create a running culture and, as a result, build for the future. .\
"I am passionate about building a winning program here at ACS," Holmes added. "I would like to get the running interest up so that next year and in the coming years, we will have more runners that can participate in the high school program."
The run club is open to any kindergarten through eighth grade student in the Allen County School District. Plans call for the students to run for two afternoons per week from 3:30 until 4:40. Runners must have physical form, comfortable running shoes, and a water bottle. Parents of students and members of the school district faculty and staff are welcome to participate in the club as well.
Students interested, and their parents, should attend an informational meeting on Monday, September 18 at 5:30 in the high school library.

In the past several Jump Start columns, I've been looking into different aspects of the SELECT statement. Understanding and mastering the SELECT statement is the most important skill for developing database applications. In this issue, I explain how you can make the SELECT statement count.
The SQL SELECT statement's COUNT function can tell you the number of rows in a table, how many unique values are in a column, and the number of unique values for an expression. In its simplest form, COUNT(*) takes no column parameters and returns the number of rows in a table. For example, the following code returns the total number of rows in the Employees table in the Northwind database:
USE northwind
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Employees
You can combine the COUNT function with the DISTINCT argument to return the number of unique values in a particular column. For example, to return the number of unique titles from the Employees table, you can use the query
USE northwind
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Title) FROM Employees
You can use multiple instances of the COUNT function to get the number of unique values in multiple columns. The following example retrieves the number of unique titles and countries:
USE northwind
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Title), COUNT(DISTINCT Country) FROM Employees
Remember, COUNT is an aggregated function and can't be combined with nonaggregates, such as standard column names. However, it can be combined with other aggregate functions. For example, the query
USE northwind
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT OrderID) as \[Total Orders\], AVG(UnitPrice) as \[Average Price\] FROM \[Order Details\]
returns the total number of orders and the average unit price from the Order Details table.

By Brinda Khera:
New wave cinema or parallel cinema in India is quite in contrast to the conventional Bollywood cinema. Known for its in-your-face realism, Indian audience still seems reluctant to embrace it though art films that are much appreciated the world over. Films like Peddler, Miss Lovely, Ugly and many more have won international acclaim but fail to get distributors closer to home. After much difficulty, these films are usually shown in some metropolitans.
The films are (obviously) great, the directors and producers are well known, yet they seem to struggle to make a niche for these films, somehow surviving on a slippery slope. The problem is the Indian audience. While art films are much appreciated in England and France, the average citizen here is too tired to watch their everyday issue enlarged on the big screen. By average citizen I do not mean you (for most) and me, I mean the middle-class shopkeeper or a rikshaw-puller, who, after a whole day of struggling for 10-12 hours in the Indian weather just wants mindless entertainment. They want to watch dances on trains, people running to airports, the melodrama and though I hate to say this, item numbers. They want to watch something wholly unrealistic with happy endings. Issues of a lot of these new films center around what they face on a day-to-day basis and I personally would not like to watch my woes on the big screen after a hard day. No offence to V. Shantaram, but why would your average milkman want to watch a dog barking at a hut, he can watch it for free all over the country.
On the other hand there are movies like Page 3, Rajneeti and Barfi that are getting audience in the country, the songs and the romance being one of the reasons. Though these movies are somewhere between the new wave and the larger-than-life Bollywood cinema, they do send the intended message across. The dilemma then is if the makers should bend to the wills of this sometimes gaudy audience or should they retain the aesthetic value of the said movie and wait for them to come around. Whatever the answer, I'm sure it would help if they are available in the local theaters for 30-50 bucks too. For the rest of us, for the time being at least, we would have to shell out a fortune for PVR Director's Rare or go pirate.

BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS -- I purchased a Netgear wireless router modem combo from Expansys. First off, the site said they had 100 in stock. After processing my payment, they said they didn't have any at all in stock. I paid for expedited shipping - delivery within 3 days - and scheduled a contractor to be onsite. It took weeks to get the modem. Initially they would not refund the difference in the shipping charges saying that I received the shipment within 3 days of when they shipped it out. That is NOT 3 day priority shipping. They would not respond to my emails requesting a refund so I contacted their marketing department and they did respond quickly to get my refund credit.
Second, the site states Expansys "USA". The shipping and billing address for me are in the "USA". Their contact email address includes "USA". When the product arrived, we checked the box to be sure it was what we ordered and everything was intact. Now, WELL PAST the 15 day return policy, when we are scheduled to install the product, we find out that it is not USA power supply compatible. We NEVER thought to check the power supply plug to be sure it was USA power compatible. Would you???
This is very deceptive. There is no subcategory for FRAUD or FALSE ADVERTISING so I'll just pick RELIABILITY. Oh, and if you return merchandise, even though it is their issue, you still pay the shipping both ways for the wrongful delivery and for the return. Better luck on eBay. Total thumbs down on this company.

The Top 5 Social Customer Service Fails in Business
Written by Sairam Krishnan on August 22, 2012
For every growing business that seems to "get" the importance of supporting customers on social media, some others make mammoth mistakes. This time we thought we should round up the 5 biggest social media fails, and what every business should learn from it.
Here's Freshdesk's list of the Top 5 social customer service fails, in no particular order.
Paypal has been long berated by customers as one of the most insensitive companies around. But they outdid even that reputation when they froze a customer's accounts because they did not use a particular 'donate' button on their site. And what was more, the customer was using it to raise money to buy poor kids gifts on Christmas.
Citing arcane rules and subjective judgement, Paypal made a nuisance of themselves which became a social media nightmare when the customer Regretsy posted the experience on their blog. It promptly went viral, and triggered a vicious backlash that forced Paypal to apologise, unfreeze the account and also offer Regretsy one full year's free service.
Needless to say, they didn't use the offer, and Paypal further dented its image in minds of customers.
Key learning
Be nice & evaluate situations thoroughly. It seems like a no-brainer, but when it comes to social media, businesses need to keep it personal.
2. FACEBOOK (yeah, themselves) VS SALMAN RUSHDIE
When Salman Rushdie opened a Facebook account, he probably didn't realize the extent of the storm he was about to stir up. When Facebook suddenly shut down Rushdie's account pending confirmation if it really was him , he sent a copy of his passport to prove he was who he said he was.
Which should have been the end of the story. Apparently not.
Facebook wanted Salman to use his first name – Ahmed, as was listed in his passport and not his middle name Salman. Salman protested on Twitter about Facebook's unfair attempt to make him use a name which he had stopped using. An online firestorm ensued, Facebook backed down and let Salman use the name he wanted to.
What's in a name, huh, Facebook?
Key learning
Don't be stuck with T&C's. Common sense weighs in more than corporate rules.
Two employees at a Domino's outlet decided it would be cool to post a video of themselves adding certain, um, disgusting 'extras' to pizza deliveries. The video was promptly picked up by the web, spread like wildfire and damaged Domino's reputation heavily. The issue snowballed into a crisis never before experienced by a global brand like Domino's. Though it was widely acknowledged that they actually did a great job of damage control, they still had to contend with all the lost sales and negative publicity that threatened to undermine a brand built over years. From then on, education about the perils of social media has become paramount among corporations who definitely want to keep their brands away from such a disaster.
Key learning
Social is a culture, not a role. Make sure every last employee has their education, priorities and hashtags right.
The Netflix story will become the classic narrative of how not to move so fast that you end up shooting yourselves in the foot. Technologists still see CEO Reed Hastings' initiative to divide and charge separately for their streaming and DVD businesses as a sound strategic move. But customers got both for the same deal before, so now they essentially had to pay twice for the same services. The market was just not ready. The move alienated thousands of customers and generated a storm online.
Customers vowed never to use them again. Stock prices plummeted and the media launched a savage attack. What was more, the spun off DVD business, Qwikster, hadn't gotten hold of the appropriate Twitter handle yet, and the guy in control of the handle let out some racist, hateful messages that further enraged customers, prompting questions if the management was even entirely in control.
Netflix could have avoided all this easily, they were a well loved brand, and had (they still do) a huge following on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. If they wanted to do something so radical, they could have just asked their fans and based their decision on the reaction. And they definitely should have gotten hold of the Qwikster Twitter handle before announcing the spin-off.
Though Netflix went back on its decision and is now rebounding, this is a case study in how not to damage a trusted brand.
Key learning
Don't alienate your customers. Their tweets and likes got you to where you are, and they can pull you down just as fast.
5. STEVE JOBS VS iPHONE 4 USERS
We included this to make the point that even the best of the best make mistakes. Even someone like Steve Jobs.
When the iPhone 4 was released, several of the users experienced issues with signal reception. When the questions attained critical mass and reached popular blogs and videos on YouTube, Jobs responded with a very simplistic message – "Just don't hold the phone that way".
He explained that the signal could be attenuated because of the position of the hands holding the phone, which would affect left handers more. Another solution he gave – buy a case, the prices of which started at $29. Well, everyone knew he was being unreasonable, and this resulted in a minor uproar on the social web.
But this being Steve Jobs, and the product being the iPhone, this was quickly forgotten, along with Jobs' condescending tone. But even then, the internet never forgot the snub.
So if you're thinking about pulling a stunt like that, let us give you some sound advice – don 't.
The iPhone 4's sales definitely took a minor beating coz' of this issue and while Apple can afford to ignore a sales drop, most businesses can't. So the watchword – be careful.
Key learning
You cannot afford to take chances. There is very little margin for error.
Conclusion & further reading
There you go. Five really easy takeaways from five of the biggest social media disasters. We chose to highlight these specific ones because of the lessons inherent in them.
For further reading, you can check out our Greenpapers on how to use Facebook for Business and Twitter for Business.

You couldn't have asked for more from the opening week of the season. Well, I guess you could have, but that would be greedy.
There were buzzer-beaters (Manhattan's George Beamon crushing Columbia), upsets (St. Francis Brooklyn traveling to Miami and taking down the defending ACC champion Hurricanes) and phenomenal debuts (Fordham freshman Jon Severe's record-setting shooting performance).
It was a promising week for a season with so much potential.
1. St. John's
Record: 0-1
Up next: Friday (6 p.m.) vs. Wagner
The Red Storm dropped their season opener to Wisconsin, 86-75, in Sioux Falls, S.D., but showed the talent of an NCAA tournament team. JaKarr Sampson and D'Angelo Harrison were the only players to score more than six points, meaning teammates like Orlando Sanchez and freshman Rysheed Jordan need to help balance the box score.
2. Manhattan
Record: 2-0
Up next: Saturday (7 p.m.) vs. George Washington
The Jaspers had an absolutely wild week, winning in double overtime at La Salle — a Sweet 16 team last season — before their last-second miracle shot in Morningside Heights. Beamon, who is averaging 26 points per game, looks like the early favorite for the MAAC Player of the Year, while sophomore sharpshooter Shane Richards has opened the season 10-of-15 on 3-pointers.
3. Stony Brook
Record: 3-0
Up next: Sunday (5 p.m.) at Indiana
The America East regular-season champs look like a good bet to retain their crown. Sophomore Jameel Warney has posted a double-double in every game and is shooting 66.7 percent from the field. After Indiana was nearly knocked off by LIU Brooklyn, the Seawolves won't be overlooked, but they will still present a serious challenge.
4. Seton Hall
Record: 2-0
Up next: Saturday (3 p.m.) at Mercer
Following a win over Niagara, the Pirates eked out a 78-76 home win over Kent State. Though star swingman Fuquan Edwin has struggled, shooting 35 percent from the field, sophomore guard Sterling Gibbs has made a heck of a Hall debut as a transfer, averaging 21 points, 5.5 rebounds and five assists.
5. Rutgers
Record: 2-1
Up next: Monday (7:30 p.m.) vs. Canisius
The ruins of the Mike Rice era are quickly being rebuilt. Kadeem Jack and Myles Mack opted to stay in Piscataway and have been the reason for the team's early success, with Jack hitting the game-winning free throws against Yale on Wednesday and scoring 30 points in the season-opening win against Florida A&M.
6. LIU Brooklyn
Record: 1-1
Up next: Friday (10 p.m.) at UC Irvine
The Blackbirds almost became a Cinderella story long before March with their near-upset at Indiana, despite playing without star forward Julian Boyd. Point guard Jason Brickman is better than ever, despite less talent around him than ever, and could lead the nation in assists again. He has 24 assists in the first two games.
7. Iona
Record: 0-1
Up next: Saturday (2 p.m.) vs. Wofford
The Gaels blew a 15-point lead at Cleveland State and the team is searching for someone to fill the void of Momo Jones as the go-to guy down the stretch. Sean Armand is the obvious candidate, but the senior needs help from a team that shot 36.9 percent in the opener. Oh, and on Tuesday, they visit Kansas and Andrew Wiggins. Should be fun.
8. Fordham
Record: 1-1
Up next: Friday (7 p.m.) vs. Lehigh
Severe showed why he was so highly hyped with 28 points on 7-of-10 3-point shooting in the win over St. Francis (Pa.), but guard Branden Frazier will be the reason this team may be able to compete this season. The senior scored 33 points in a loss at Syracuse on Tuesday.
9. St. Francis (Brooklyn)
Record: 2-0
Up next: Saturday (Noon) at Dayton
The Terriers may have had the best week in New York, knocking off Miami and following it up with a win at Florida A&M. They play their first five games of the season on the road, including an unenviable trip to Syracuse on Monday.
10. Wagner
Record: 1-1
Up next: Friday (6 p.m.) at St. John's
No one knows what to make of the NEC favorites, yet. The Seahawks lost at Penn State and then struggled in an eight-point home win over Division II Chestnut Hill. This week should provide some clarity, as Wagner will be tested with games at St. John's and Coppin State, and receive a visit from Vermont. Bashir Mason's defense-oriented bunch must help themselves out on offense, having shot a horrendous 29.9 percent from the field so far.
11. Columbia
Record: 1-1
Up next: Friday (9 p.m.) at Michigan State
It gets ugly real fast. The Lions were one miracle away from 2-0 and now have to go to East Lansing to take on the best team in the country. On the bright side, sophomore point guard Grant Mullins looks ready to fill the massive hole left by Brian Barbour. Mullins showed well-timed aggression and dropped 23 points, including 12 of the team's final 14, in the loss to Manhattan.
12. Fairfield
Record: 1-1
Up next: Saturday (8 p.m.) at Loyola (Md.)
Fairfield, which produced a 13-point win over Sacred Heart and a 10-point loss to Hartford, might not be the model of consistency we've seen over the past decade if the scoring isn't better than the 60-point clip they're at this season.
13. Army
Record: 1-1
Up next: Friday (7 p.m.) vs. NJIT
The Black Knights are deep, but may not be ready to take the next step after last season's breakthrough campaign. They lost their season opener against Air Force and could move to 3-1 with upcoming home games against NJIT and Delaware, but after that comes a trip to Notre Dame.
14. Hofstra
Record: 1-2
Up next: Tuesday (7 p.m.) at Richmond
At one point, the Pride only trailed by single digits in the second-half at Louisville. Of course they lost by 28, but it was impressive they could even battle that long. The team's 14 3-pointers fell one shy of the school record and four players are averaging double-digit points, including freshman Jamal Robinson with 11.3 points. It's already better than last season.
15. St. Peter's
Record: 0-2
Up next: Sunday (2 p.m.) at Kent State
The wins aren't there yet, but there's reason for optimism. Marvin Dominique, a junior forward transfer from Fordham, put up 31 points and 14 rebounds in a near-upset against LIU Brooklyn in the season opener at Barclays Center.
Record: 0-2
Up next: Friday (7 p.m.) at Army
With the team's top two scorers gone from last season, freshman Damon Lynn has stepped in right away and is averaging 17.5 points in the first two games. Unfortunately, the Highlanders road-heavy schedule sends them away from Newark for their next three games.
17. Fairleigh Dickinson
Record: 1-1
Up next: Friday (7 p.m.) at Hartford
The Knights picked up an easy win against Division II Caldwell College, but were hammered in a 80-58 loss to Hofstra. I'm afraid to see what happens when they travel to No. 6 Arizona on Monday.

Question: Does your claim that "explicit memories thrive on place" mean that non-location-based memories tend to fade?
Siri Hustvedt: Well, this is a very interesting thing and this is based on, in some way, introspection of my own, thinking about the character of my own memories. But this idea of loci and place, that goes way back. It goes... certainly Cicero had this notion that in order to remember things, they have to be placed, and memory systems would often use a house. Say you need to memorize a speech. And what the technique would mean is you would give yourself a spatial location and usually a house. You would walk through it as you give the speech, so you would assign various parts of the speech to different rooms, and this seems to help keep the words inside you.
I have found that all of my memories seem to need a place and that a good part of what we think of as explicit memory has to do with location. So for example, it is not that when you started going to grade school, say you went to the same school, that you remember every day of your grade school experience. What you are remembering is the site of those experiences. Some of them explicit and many of them completely buried or forgotten.
I find that I need to locate my memories. There was one illustration that I gave in the book that interested me. It was a failure of my own memory, an error. And this is what it was. When I was four years old, I was in Norway with my mother and sister. We were at my aunt's house sitting around the table, having a meal. I remember—I can see the living room perfectly in my mind. My cousin, my older cousin, Vivica, begins to cry. I love this because—she is older than she is still older than I am—and so I felt bad, I didn't know why she was crying. I pushed myself off the chair, and I remember my feet were dangling, so I had to drop. Went around and patted my cousin on her arm to comfort her. And all the grown ups burst into laughter and I was so angry and humiliated by that laughter. Of course no one meant any harm, but I was four.
Only a few years ago, I've carried this memory of humiliation around with me my whole life. Only a couple of years ago I recognized that it couldn't have taken place in that living room because that house had not been built. What had happened was that in order to preserve the memory, I replaced one house with another. My aunt's second house, the one built after that I do remember vividly.
I think this tells us something about the nature of memory. First of all, that it's shifting. There are no fixed original memories that we can actually get ahold of, and that place is somehow vital to the retention of those memories; even if we need an artificial house to put it in.

U.S. rights to Robert Cary's romantic comedy "Ira & Abby," written by and starring Jennifer Westfeldthave been acquired by Magnolia Pictures, the company announced Friday. Magnolia's Head of Acquisitions, Tom Quinn and Head of Business Affairs, Jason Janego negotiated the deal with Rena Ronson and Phil Alberstat of William Morris Independent and producer Brad Zions. Foreign sales will be handled at the Cannes Market by Odd Lot International. Chris Messina also stars, as a neurotic New Yorker with major issues. He is at a standstill, but this changes when he meets the free spirited Abby (Westfeldt) and the impossible happens: they fall in love, meet each other's parents and decide to get married, all in a few breathless hours. Multiple divorces, in-laws, affairs, exes, and many therapists later, the couple is forced to examine whether "I do" is the only path to life-long love and happiness. "It has been so gratifying for me to see how festival audiences have connected to this film," commented Westfeldt in a statement. "I feel so lucky that a smart, innovative company like Magnolia will give it a chance to be seen on a national scale." indieWIRE reported on the film last June at the Los Angeles Film Festival, where it won the festival's audience award.

Fall Lecture SeriesBy
The Fall is here and a new class start their didactic schedule. This season is a break for the clinical faculty here at the USC program of anesthesia. The senior students are for the most part off doing advanced rotations such as cardiac or neuro surgery with Staff Anesthesiology in attendance for teaching and patient supervision. The CRNA faculty is concentrating on lectures and rest from a long 8 months of OR teaching. Of course we get to now do our own anesthesia cases which is really SWEET!
This year I have been really privileged to participate in the recent graduation of our 2008 class here at USC. The slide show that was put on by JR included many of the pictures that I took over the past two years of this SRNA group. They were great to work with and I am sorry that they are now all gone on to study for Board Exam. One of the things that I have been working on for the past couple of years now is a CRNA board review class that is given to the seniors during their final year before graduation. Dr. Michele Gold and I will be starting this review again next month and the series will run until graduation next August. The preparation for these reviews in tremendous but wonderful. It keeps me in tune.
What prompted me to write after a little layoff was a recent comment by Wes. Here it is for your enjoyment:
Hello Everyone,
I've recently finished reading through most, if not all, of the blogs here on the site. I am really impressed and have enjoyed this personal perspective into the field that I haven't found on other NA websites including the AANA. Reading through this blog has been a real treat and I consider it half pleasure reading and half personal research into a field that I have increasing interest in.
When I was a nursing student, I must admit that I found the profession to be boring and full of magazine reading. Now as a nurse working in a neuro-surgical-surgical-trauma ICU, I admit that I had no idea of the awesome responsibility and greatly expanded knowledge base of the CRNA. Gaining experience with mechanically ventilated patients receiving anesthetic and analgesic drips, I am beginning to realize just how little I know and how much more I want to know about anesthesia.
This once seemingly "boring" profession is starting to become so very interesting to me as I read websites such as this and as I care for post-surgical ventilated and sedated patients. I also enjoy picking the brains of the anesthesia residents as they do rotations on our unit and find them to be quite knowledgeable.
I apologize for the long personal story, but I just wanted to say thank you for the great insight of all those who have contributed to this site from every step of the journey.
David, I must congratulate you on your hard earned achievements! Reading through the older blogs gives us an idea of how strenuous this journey really is. The great tips on applying to CRNA school and surviving once your in…have been helpful to many I'm sure.
Finally, living so close to USC in neighboring San Bernardino county I can't help but inquire if you or your colleagues would be interested in taking on yet another "shadow." Please e-mail me when you find some free time. Thanks again.
Thank you Wes for really nailing it for me. Your perception of what this blog is all about is exactly right. When I started out looking into becoming a CRNA there was nothing on the web where I could find real information about what it was like to be a CRNA, how to get in to a program or what it took to really shine as a student nurse anesthetist. So I did it myself!
Now the torch is past along to those eager students willing to tell their stories and share their experiences with others. I invite any interested in becoming a CRNA or those students already in programs to write to me and I will put it "up on the web" for others to read, learn from and be inspired by to become the best they can be. For me this has been as a nurse anesthetist. I have never regretted one moment of that decision to go for it.
Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question in which
I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was curious to find out
how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas
out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first
10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying
to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions
or hints? Many thanks!
Thanks for finally writing about > Fall Lecture Series
:: Nurse Anesthetist < Loved it!

Nowhere, other than Taiwan, would another nation be able to interfere with — or be allowed to interfere with — the contents of school materials that address the debate over national identity and history. Despite that, on June 13, the debate and controversy over Taiwanese history as portrayed in Taiwan's senior-high school history books was discussed at a news conference held by China's Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) with the office spokesperson making the absurd demand that President Ma Ying-jeou's (馬英九) administration put its house in order, without taking the care as to whether or not it gave people the impression that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) are cooperating with each other.
Chinese officials clearly have already begun to treat Ma as another Chinese official. If the Taiwanese government does not protest against this rudeness and transgression, then the Taiwanese must launch an uncompromising protest against the government's self-denigration.
Legislators claim that the Department of Secondary Education at the Ministry of Education recently held several meetings with the lesson outline examination committee, as well as publishers, concerning the compilation of history textbooks for senior-high schools. The main topic of the meetings was to decide whether certain phrases should be uniformly changed in response to "a suggestion from a member of the public." Some of the suggestions are that every reference to the People's Republic of China (PRC) or "the mainland area" should be abbreviated as "the Chinese Communist regime," "the Chinese mainland" or "the mainland." Other suggestions included: avoiding the use of "Taiwan" when dealing with domestic politics and international relations in place of references to the "Republic of China." Any references to the view that Taiwan's position remains undetermined should also be avoided. When mentioning the diverse development of Taiwanese culture, the "central position of Chinese culture" should be stressed, and when discussing Taiwan's immigrant society, "the fact that Chinese people and Chinese culture make up the bulk [of society]" following the massive immigration of Han Chinese should also be stressed.
Education is vital and there are many major issues in the current education system that are in need of reform and renewal. When the education ministry ignores these issues and instead uses a minority suggestion as an excuse to challenge the political sensibilities of society at large, this will create divisions. This is also the reason why the initiative has drawn strong criticism in the legislature.
Unexpectedly, the TAO has chimed in from across the Taiwan Strait saying that Taiwan's teaching materials have had a pro-independence slant and that Taiwan from now on should return to the straight and narrow. By showing its cards, the TAO has reinforced the feeling that Ma has been intending to revise the nation's schools' teaching materials ever since he took office in 2008.
The ministry has explained its position by saying that teaching materials must once again begin to reflect the Constitution, but in our opinion, this argument does nothing to alleviate confrontation and conflict. Any ideological positions must be realistic and the purpose of knowledge is to seek out the truth. We would never teach our children to lie or to think that what is not theirs simply becomes theirs by claiming it. This is also the reason why teaching materials must reflect the truth.

There are a great many things to celebrate about getting older. Mainly, the fact that you are still here.
But another thing I embrace about my advanced middle aged years (oh, and just for the record, I will be in my 70s and still calling myself advanced middle aged, so just roll with it) is the freedom to be yourself.
You're far enough along in your career and parenting duties that you can cuddle up, wallow, even, in your uncoolness. (I'm not talking socks and sandals uncool because that's just showing off.)
This is a glorious thing. Yet, I see many women my age, who still seem to be clinging to the coolness doctrine. This is a mistake. To quote the song from Frozen, "Let it Go." (I know the song is mind numbingly popular with the preschool set but I'm here to tell you it's an (advanced) middle age anthem.
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Earlier in the summer I was at one of those ladies- who-lunch functions and saw a gaggle of women still clinging to coolness. One in particular I wanted to personally invite to join the uncool club. She had all the signs of a woman who needed to liberate herself from the confines of conformity. In Texas she would be called a "Bless her heart."
This fellow AMA (advanced middle aged) woman was on the fringe of a group of cool moms. You could tell she was trying to get into their circle. She even had the big purse. For those of you (men) uneducated in the language of designer handbags, typically the bigger the purse they only sell at Halls (Prada, Gucci, etc. — not some "factory inventory" leather tote you got at the pop up Coach store at the Legends Outlet Mall or, in my case, the Target off-label) the more insecure/needy you are. She even went so far as to nudge her purse into the group circle. Not her body, mind you, but her purse.
I saw this as a cry for help. Once you hit the big 45-plus it's time for sweet, sweet freedom. Not "Junior High: The Menopausal Years." I tried to mind my own business and leave well enough alone but I just couldn't. So, I went over to Big Purse and attempted to engage her in conversation, thus beginning Phase One of Operation Uncool.
Try as I might — and (not to brag) I can be pretty engaging — she resisted all my efforts at recruitment. By the end of the very one-sided chitchat I wanted to scream, "Listen up honey, you're missing out by not joining Team Uncool!"
If only I could have given her our team stats. They're impressive! By becoming a member of Team Uncool, you can, for the most part, say what you think. This alone is worth the price of membership. Because as an uncooler you have the luxury of not catering to other people's preconceived notions of how you should act. This does not give you permission to be unkind or go full crazy; it just allows you the gift of not fitting in.
As a parent, it liberates you from caring what your kids or anyone else's kids (or kids' parents think). So, for example, when your teenager asks if they can go to a boy/girl sleepover (yes, this happens and you betcha I'll be writing about this very, very soon), you can proudly say, "Not in my lifetime." Because here's the deal: The cool parents are all about "Well, everyone does it and the kids are all just friends so what's the problem?" (I'm stopping right here with that, lest I go off topic but you all know what I mean.)
Being an uncooler makes all areas of your life more pleasant. It frees you to leave the house without BB cream (a.k.a. wrinkle camo), discard your Spanx and like yourself a whole lot more. It makes your marriage fun again because the less high maintenance a spouse is, the better the relationship.
Nothing is more boring than a person who talks about how they look all time (or how they played a NCAA division sport and almost went pro). As an uncooler you have better, more interesting things to focus on. And oh, the joy of conversation when you can truly say how you feel.
Have I enticed you yet to become an uncooler? No worries if you're not ready yet. We're a patient bunch. That's another plus about being uncool.

The following editorial appeared in the Seattle Times on Sept. 23:
The behavior of the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives is simply bizarre. An institution with the power and authority to manage government finances and scrutinize the budget instead chooses to play dangerous fiscal games.
Friday's vote to continue the lazy sequestration funding bill if the U.S. Senate and President Obama agree to shut down the Affordable Care Act was just weird.
Scarier still, the federal government faces a mid-October deadline to adjust the borrowing limit so the country can continue to cover its debts and pay its bills.
The House appears intent on extending this game of budgetary chicken to risk a default by the United States.
Extensions of the debt limit have been routine for nearly a century as the central government maintains its responsibilities to its citizens, federal duties and domestic and foreign commitments.
"It is not in the best interest of the U.S. business community or American people to risk even a brief government shutdown that might trigger disruptive consequences or raise new policy uncertainties washing over the U.S. economy."
A predictable Democratic outcry?
No, that is the executive vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, R. Bruce Josten.
Last March Congress adopted across-the-board spending cuts with no priorities or rankings. Every budget trimmed the same amount regardless of the role or function performed. That was a compromise to avoid another disaster. The pattern repeats itself.
This approach is a fraud, and it is cowardly and lazy. Let the GOP articulate a coherent list of budget priorities and hold the hearings to expose what needs to be done. Members of the Congress should perform the role the U.S. Constitution empowers them to do - and that they were elected - to carry out.
Can the government be a better steward of taxpayer dollars? Always. Do the work to make it happen, or step aside. Elect genuinely fiscally conservative Republicans to do the work.
What the country is witnessing is shameful.
The economic dangers that lurk ahead are real and potentially devastating.

By Lucy Jordan, Senior Contributing Reporter
BRASÍLIA, BRAZIL – At least fourteen São Paulo police officers have been detained since Saturday on suspicion of killing or attempting to kill civilians. The arrests are likely to raise questions over police brutality in the wake of a wave of murders in São Paulo that some experts have partially attributed to extrajudicial killings.
Seven officers were arrested Monday for shooting three teenagers in July in the city's North Zone, according to Globo. The police have claimed that they were responding to a violent confrontation with the youths, but witnesses claim the young men were executed.
Six more police officers were detained Sunday on suspicion of killing one young man and shooting another in Parque Edu Chaves, in São Paulo's North Zone.
On Saturday an officer was arrested on suspicion of setting fire to Washington Ramalho da Silva during a police operation in the South Zone. Mr. Silva suffered burns on sixty percent of his body and is hospitalized in serious but stable condition, local media reported.
In recent months São Paulo has undergone a sharp uptick in violence that has seen 4,100 people killed state-wide so far this year. October, the most violent month for São Paulo in the past two years, saw an eighty percent increase in homicides on the same period last year: 329, compared to 182.
Amongst those killed have been a hundred police officers, and experts believe that much of the violence is part of a simmering war between police and the Primeiro Command do Capital (First Command of the Capital, PCC), a powerful gang involved in drug trafficking and other organized crime.
Police in São Paulo have said the violence is the panicked lashing out of a gang that feels threatened by a police crackdown on drug trafficking. But some experts say the spike in murders of police corresponds with police brutality and extra-judicial killings.
Twice as many police officers were killed in June, after the elite police force ROTA allegedly killed five men in a car pack, than the month previous. The violence has been escalating since then, and another spike is discernible after PCC gang members were allegedly killed by police in mid-September.
Social groups also complain of alleged killings by police that go unexamined, particularly of poor black residents and in the city's impoverished outskirts.
"We see the massacres daily and scream for it to stop, but the crimes are not investigated, they are all archived," Deborah Maria da Silva, of the Mothers of May Movement, said during a protest against police brutality on Monday in São Paulo. "The authorities do not admit that there are, within institutions, vigilante groups."
Amid the wave of violence, São Paulo authorities have received condemnation from groups including Amnesty International. Tim Cahill, Brazil researcher for the international human rights organization, told BBC Brasil that while attacks on the police should be condemned, a powerful independent body was needed to investigate human rights violations by authorities.
Camila Nunes Dias, a Universidade de São Paulo sociologist and expert on the PCC, said in an interview that she did not think these latest deaths were connected to the PCC, but that violence from police could spark protests, such as burning buses, from relatives and neighbors of the victims.
"I do not have a prescription ready," to stop the violence, she added. "But I think it is important to think of different ways to deal with the issue of public safety that breaks away from the prospect of mass incarceration and investment in the military police."

I just got hit on by someone who works at Carl's Jr. That cannot be a good sign. I got some In 'n' Out on my way home from work. T'was delicious as always! But the inevitable happened... I spilled spread all over my pants and needed to wipe them off PDQ, to avoid the stain that was sure to occur. I made a decision; one that will haunt me indefinitely. I pulled in to the CJ's parking lot (my first mistake was thinking you could get cleaner by going in a Carl's Jr). I walked into the bathroom, but before I got there I felt really guilty because I was going to use their restroom without buying anything. So I made my like 8th mistake of this story. I ordered a shake, to ease my conscience. And then... the 19th inevitable thing happened...
The guy, named "KIRK" (via his name tag), hit on my stained ass.

A hoax?
I got frustrated again with Cebu Pacific Air. The airline company is deceiving or confusing their potential customers or just favoring some clients? Why did I say so?
Yesterday (February 3), I read on abs-cbnnews.com about the PISO seat sale offer of Cebu Pacific. The news said, quoting the airline's vice president for marketing and distribution Candice Iyog, the carrier will sell seats to any domestic destination for only one peso starting February 4, for travel from June 1 to September 30.

Thanks to each and every one of you who attended our Bus Weekend this year. The weather held out for us and we hope you had a brilliant time. We provided free bus services up to every ten minutes all day from Plymouth Hoe; something which was only possible thanks to the work of all those who volunteered to help us. We teamed up with our friends at the Plym Valley Railway and provided a free bus service to and from the Hoe to connect with trains on the Sunday. We'd like to pay a special thanks to Plymouth Citybus for their outstanding support throughout, and also to Plymouth City Council who we have worked in close collaboration with to make the event happen.
Below are some of the highlights from the weekend, with many thanks to Joanne Brown, Tim Squires and Bradley Darlington for their photographs.
We are delighted to announce that we will be repeating the event next year, on
Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th August 2018.
If you'd like to join us then, entry forms can be found below:
