Peculiar Concepts
Valerie Schultz (Renew the Face of the Earth! 1/8) should not be amazed at the outrageous attack the journal Crisis made about the Renew program. It is par for the course. Any time a work in the church, no matter how fine it may be, does not fit into their peculiar definition of Catholic, it will be attacked.
Renew is one of the finest programs both for evangelization and the continuing education of people that has been developed in the church over the past 20 years.
I have been following the course of Renew and have found its programs well formulated and fitting into the finest of Catholic thought. Msgr. Tom Kleisler, the founder of Renew, is one of the most intelligent and zealous priests in the U.S. The editors of Crisis have peculiar concepts of what Catholic thought and action aretoday, or truly in any day in the history of the church.

A Gulf War
Valerie Schultz's Renew the Face of the Earth! (1/8) again raises a question that begs for a response: With Catholic universities, graduate schools, presses, journalists and journals galore, why do we not have serious and ongoing efforts to understand the self-proclaimed (but never defined) orthodox Catholic phenomenon? What explains their selective orthodoxy and the highly selective past they would conserve? Why their preoccupation with abortion but seeming indifference to the deadly poverty in the third world and the social Gospel in general? Why the rush in some orthodox quarters to defend Augusto Pinochet's murderous record? What explains their antipathy to the Second Vatican Council and 100 years of scriptural and theological scholarship that is largely ignored in the new catechism they espouseif selectively?
What explains the readiness of their publications to misrepresent the We Are Church renewal effort, Call to Action and other progressive activities and to adopt, so frequently, a nasty tone in referring to people I personally know to be devout, committed, faithful Catholics? Why is there no self-criticism in the orthodox camp?
Given the heavy orthodox influence at the widely circulated Catholic Register and Our Sunday Visitor; the ample subsidies of Crisis, First Things and Catholic World Report; and the myriad pronouncements of orthodox voices from the pope to the increasing number of Opus Dei and other loyalist bishops, why do identifiably conservative Catholics continue to top out at no more than 5 percent of American Catholics?
Conversely, why are Catholic publications that, like the overwhelming majority of American Catholics, embrace Vatican II reforms, not more popular? Why have so many Vatican II or progressive Catholics failed in handing on the faith or practice of the faith to their children? Why do so many appear not to bother rationalizing their embrace of the abortion liberty? Why have progressive Catholics been so nearly invisible and ineffectual on the political scene except in such major struggles as civil rights and opposition to the Vietnam and the contra wars? The orthodox would, of course, multiply these few questions. Why is there so little effort to talk over this widening gulf?

Leaps and Bounds
I'm not one who writes letters to editors, but I want you to know how much I appreciated Sister Joan Acker's Creationism and the Catechism (12/16). I am a housewife and mother and could never play hardball with the intellectual giants who frequent your pages. But I will tell you this: for years I have wrestled with the way the Adam and Eve story has been taught. Deep down inside, I have not been able to accept fully the notion of Eden, preternatural gifts and the Fall. Is life not a process? Does not God fashion us through growth, development and change?
I am not so naïve as to be unaware of the tremendous challenges Sister Acker is issuing to the church's hierarchy. The nature of such challenges leaves no room for complacency of any kind and calls us to grapple with our religious understanding. The task of theology is ever to push the limits of our understanding. The task of reformulating religious language and developing effective methods of catechesis is an ongoing task. What are we afraid of? Are we afraid of exhausting the mystery of God?
I ask myself, Could I have come to accept Christian truths if I was not brought up in the church? Sadly, I'm not sure and am grateful for having been brought up in the faith. But are we failing the people who hunger to know God? Yes! There is truth to the expression a leap of faith. But it is a leap that does not require a lobotomy.

Resolute Stand
Sister Joan Acker's precise and scholarly article, Creationism and the Catechism (12/16) is an exceptionally clear presentation of the synthesis between science and theology addressing the questions of creation. It deserves to be the framework for the U.S. bishops' national adult catechism project.
Let us hope that the bishops will read and heed her plea for collaboration with theologians and believing scientists as they pursue their project. And let us pray that the bishops will have the courage to resist efforts to return to a simplistic and literal theology of creation that ignores biblical scholarship. Such pressures may come from many segments of today's church.
This is a rich opportunity for the teaching office of the bishops. May they resolutely take their stand.
James E. Harvey

Paschal Pattern
Thank you for Sister Joan Acker's call for the proposed American catechism to be written in a context of consciousness of the story of the universe as we receive it through science today. Doing theology, reading Scripture and preparing to preach in such a context strengthens the power of the truths we cherish while expanding their meaning to include even more challenging insights for Christian living. But letting go of an ancient, comfortable worldview (even if we hold it only for our religious reflection) involves a process of conversion. Like all conversions, this too demands asceticism and intellectual discipline: suffering the death of some images and premises so that new life full of promise and energy may rise up! The paschal pattern so evident in all parts of creation beckons us to participate freely.

Bread, Stones and Sex
In Angry and Alienated (12/16), Michael Hout refers to the reaffirmation by the Vatican on July 6, 2000, of the prohibition of admitting to Communion Catholics who are divorced and remarried. That document clearly reiterates the prohibition, but, not as clearly, addresses the complications of such a publicly, irregularly married person being admitted to Communion while continuing to cohabit, but in full continence.
Canon law speaks of marriage as a partnership of the whole of life (Canon 1055, par. 10). Vatican II speaks of intimate community of life and love (Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, No. 48). Marriage is much more than sex. It involves mutual emotional, intellectual and material support, the sharing of insights and perceptions, daily experiences together, travel, socializing with others as a couple, and on and on. Sex is part of it, but only a part. Modern culture too frequently separates sex from marriage. Some might question whether here our church is trying to make a similar but reverse separation by admitting to Communion the irregularly married who can enjoy all the blessings of living together except sex. But realistically, intellectually and even morally, can sex be taken out of the equation without the relationship itself being destroyed? Ban the whole package or accept the whole package? Perhaps an answer is suggested by the message I remember seeing on a T-shirt: Relax. It's only sex.
Perhaps such considerations motivated several Geman bishops a few years ago and the 1998 Synod of Bishops for Asia and the 1998 Synod of Bishops for Oceania to seek a way to bring Communion to divorced, remarried, alienated and good-living Catholics. Bread was sought; a stone was delivered.

One hopes the Bush team, which so far has failed to articulate a global vision, will read the future's challenge by James D. Wolfensohn, president of the World Bank Group (1/8).
If the new administration's vision is limited to just ensuring a safe and comfortable United States, while three billion other people, half the world's population, live on less then $2 a day, this would seem not only morally unacceptable, but dangerously illusory.

Are you someone who tends to roll off the wrong side of the bed in the morning? Or maybe you typically hit snooze three times before you even consider rolling out of bed? Sure, maybe you enjoy being a late-night person—you can catch up on social feeds, interact with friends, and even binge-watch Netflix. After all, evening-oriented individuals do have some advantages. While studies reveal they tend to be more creative and have a better sense of humor, they're typically out of sync with the standard corporate schedule.
What if I told you morning people are better positioned for career success than night owls due to their proactive nature? Now do I have your attention?
Christoph Randler, a biologist from Harvard, found in a large-scale survey of university students that those who set aside time in the morning were more likely to set long-range goals, anticipate and minimize problems, and make things happen.
While this may be just one study, the connection between waking up early and career success clearly correlates with how time is spent once your feet hit the floor in the morning. As an experiment, I adopted a handful of the 12 commonly occurring themes of successful CEOs listed in Laura Vanderkam's book, "What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast."
My morning routine looked a little something like this:
- Wake up early – set only one alarm (this way, I knew there was no room for error)
- Check email on my phone for pressing information, meetings, or news (TheSkimm and Need2Know are quick, bite-sized reads for staying on top of all types of local and world news)
- Open the blinds and make the bed (you're less likely to get back into an already-made bed!)
- Wash my face and drink 8 oz. of water
- Do 10-15 minutes of yoga (try the free app, DownDog—it will walk you through every pose and is great for anyone, from beginners to advanced yogis!)
- Reflect and be mindful (I did this several ways, usually journaling with the Grid Diary app or meditating using the app Headspace)
- Get dressed (set your clothes out the night before so you don't spend time stressing in the morning)
- Prepare a healthy, balanced breakfast (try eggs and mashed avocado on whole wheat toast, a quick and easy combination of protein, healthy fats, and carbs)
- Prioritize and make a to-do list (usually while eating breakfast – multitasking!)
- While making the morning commute, listen to a chapter of an audiobook (try Audible, you can get 3 books free and listen from your smartphone!)
- Make important phone calls/emails ASAP (this way someone has the entire day to respond so you're not stressed at 5 p.m. when you don't have the information you need)
- Check in with your team: Let one another know your priorities and goals for the day, see if anything's come up or changed, and say hi and smile— it improves your mood!
After following my two-hour morning routine for months, I noticed a difference. I was more motivated, intentional, and upbeat. My first hour at work was wildly productive instead of spent getting coffee refills in the break room. More importantly, people noticed. My family noticed, my students noticed, my boss noticed… it's no surprise morning people tend to be easily noted, frequently promoted, and earn higher wages.
While it took some adjustment, the experiment was worth it and has me looking forward to this valued morning routine each day. Key takeaway: Don't press the snooze button. Spend the extra nine minutes opening your blinds and starting your day off on the right foot— it'll only kicktart your journey toward getting noticed.
What could you do with an extra hour in the morning? How would your day unfold if you spent time to prioritize and plan ahead?

Barcelona confirm they have agreed a contract "for life" with star midfielder Andres Iniesta
Posted: 6 October 2017 Time: 11:46
Barcelona have confirmed they have agreed a long-term contract extension with midfielder Andres Iniesta.
The midfielder's future at the Nou Camp has been in doubt over the last few months, especially following the exit of star forward Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain and Lionel Messi's failure to pen new terms.
However, the Catalan giants have since managed to convince the Spain international to extend his stay, having penned a "renewal for life", according to the club's official website.
A statement from the club said: "Andres Iniesta signed a lifetime contract with FC Barcelona on Friday, in a deal that will keep him at the club for the rest of his career."
Iniesta has enjoyed mammoth success with Barcelona since making his first-team debut in 2002, having gone on to make 639 appearances and scored 55 goals.
The Spaniard's trophy cabinet is one stocked to the rafters, with eight La Liga titles, five Copa Del Ray crowns and, most impressively, four UEFA Champions League winners' medals.
"This agreement is a renewal but also a show of trust. It makes me very happy that my club has given me this chance," said Iniesta.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Connor Shaw passed for a touchdown and ran for another as No. 13 South Carolina, playing without injured defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, held off a Kentucky comeback for a 35-28 victory Saturday night.
The Gamecocks (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) again let a large lead slip away and once more were able to come away with a victory. The Wildcats (1-4, 0-2) rallied from 21-0 to pull to 27-21 on Jalen Whitlow's 14-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Timmons with 11:50 remaining.
They were still within a touchdown after Whitlow bulled his way to a 1-yard scoring run with four minutes left. But the Gamecocks ran out the clock behind SEC leading rusher Mike Davis and beat Kentucky for the 13th time in the last 14 meetings.
Clowney was out with bruised ribs.

Which NHLers were best at using social media in 2013? The list includes Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo – or at least, the Luongo behind the Canucks goalie's unofficial Twitter account.
The hockey world's connection to social media has never been as strong as it was in 2013. Just about every NHLer has his own Twitter account now – and, just as there's a pecking order among players on the ice, there's also some NHLers who can use social media better than others. Here are THN's top 10 NHL tweeters of the year:
10. T.J. Oshie, Blues. Sometimes you deserve to be on a list like this because of a larger body of work in the tweeting business. Other times, you get on the list because of one amazing tweet. T.J. Oshie's account falls into the latter category.
Hey @Hartsy19 is this good enough to hashtag OshieDown?
Don't try this at home… pic.twitter.com/PkymD6gwy9
— TJ Oshie (@OSH74) November 10, 2013
9. Hal Gill, Flyers. The veteran blueliner has become renowned in league circles for his sense of humor. His twitter feed is a mix of hockey, family and football, but his penchant for funniness is almost always on display.
Childhood protest. He actually stayed at the end of the driveway for 5 minutes. #comeonman #parenting #speedbump pic.twitter.com/Jvy07FANWO
— Hal Gill (@Skillsy75) August 6, 2013
8. Sam Gagner, Oilers. Gagner has a wide variety of interests, but his twitter account gained prominence this year for one tweet. One tweet of his gruesome jaw injury. One tweet he said led to people calling him Quagmire from Family Guy. This is that tweet:
Thank you all for the support. Excited to come back stronger and hopefully better looking than a few days ago. pic.twitter.com/jyU91TMSuu
— Sam Gagner (@89SGagner) September 24, 2013
7. Andrew Ference, Oilers. Gagner's teammate and Edmonton's first-year captain is one of the game's more cerebral players and that's reflected in his timeline. He's also adept at the video side of Twitter.
Time to get ready for next year. https://t.co/LIooTouZuT
— Andrew Ference (@Ferknuckle) June 25, 2013
6. Scott Hartnell, Flyers. For someone who irks his opponents to no end, Hartnell comes across as completely likeable on his Twitter account. He'll trade good-natured jabs with players on other teams – and just as often, he'll make himself the target of his humor. This was what he tweeted after cutting his famous curly red hair:
Sad day. New look. Looks like a poodle got a hair cut pic.twitter.com/z0uirjqjrv
— Scott Hartnell (@Hartsy19) October 30, 2013
5. Evander Kane, Jets. The Jets star weighs in on a number of topics with great humor, but he's also compelling because he occasionally goes off on serious topics in his feed. For instance, missing the playoffs did not sit well with him this year.
I'm sick of sitting here at this time of the year not having a chance to win, not scoring goals, not winning games and not winning rounds.
— Evander Kane (@EKane9JETS) June 7, 2013
It really pisses me off and I'm done with these kind of results. It's time to start winning and it's starting now.
— Evander Kane (@EKane9JETS) June 7, 2013
4. Alex Ovechkin, Capitals. It's been a banner year for the Caps icon and Master of the Superfluous Right Parentheses in a Smiley Emoticon. He chronicled his trip to Greece carrying the Olympic torch, shared some great moments with girlfriend Maria Kirilenko and, as always, was sure to make himself the subject of a joke or two.
Just had a plastic surgery)))hahahaah pic.twitter.com/BtpErhrJY2
— Alex Ovechkin (@ovi8) September 15, 2013
3. Paul Bissonnette, Coyotes. The Grand Pooh-bah of NHL tweeters is still going strong. He'll poke fun at himself, go hard after Twitter trolls and even give teammates the gears. No one is safe from Biz Nasty's sharp sense of humor.
2 ways 2 handle the 1st pitch at the D-Backs game @max_domi. Throw a good 1 and get a clap. Or throw it like shit and end up on SportsCenter
— Paul Bissonnette (@BizNasty2point0) July 9, 2013
2 Dustin Penner, Ducks. Judging by his must-follow account, Penner loves three things: hockey, laughs, and electronic dance music. Sometimes he combines all three in one tweet.
Honestly I don't care if you are gay or straight as my teammate. As long as you don't listen to Nickelback. #courage
— Dustin Penner (@Dustinpenner25) April 30, 2013
1. Roberto Luongo, Canucks. Pretty much anything "Luongo" "does" at his still-unofficial account is incredibly funny. And not just "regular funny" – we're talking wryness on a grand scale. Sometimes over the past year, he's let teammates have it:
Hey @eddielack I'm warning you now! Don't get any ideas this upcoming season!!! Got it???
— Strombone (@strombone1) July 25, 2013
Other times, he's disarmed a media tempest-in-a-teapot with a smart statement:
Eat your heart out Mariah Carey……. pic.twitter.com/LF370ksmGS
— Strombone (@strombone1) August 28, 2013
And other times, he's given some tongue-in-cheek contractual advice to his fellow goalies:
You sure about this @HLundqvist30 ???
— Strombone (@strombone1) December 4, 2013
When it comes to Twitter, nobody does it better. Happy holidays from everyone at THN – and we're sure, from Luongo, too:
Every kiss begins with K…….. pic.twitter.com/hEtzKFCj45
— Strombone (@strombone1) December 12, 2013

Rosewood takes down AG soccer
By Rudy Coggins
Published in Sports on October 6, 2011 1:48 PM
At first, it appeared Rosewood didn't learn a valuable lesson after its disastrous effort on the soccer pitch Monday afternoon.
The Eagles showed little spirit during their pre-game warm-up before kickoff against Ayden-Grifton on Wednesday, and the nonchalant attitude lit a fire under head coach Eddie Maldonado.
"They were goofing off a little bit, so I went ahead and stopped them right away," he said. "I told them we had to be serious. We're not going to have any goofing off tonight because we've got a job to do. The goal of the conference season is to get to the state playoffs."
Rosewood moved one step closer.
Freshman forward Joshua Drew notched the first goal of his prep career in the Eagles' 3-1 decision over the Chargers at Branch Pope Field. The Eagles (3-9-1 overall, 3-1-0 CC) triumphed for the third time in their last four outings with all three victories occurring against conference opposition.
"They got a little bit more serious, worked a little bit more harder (tonight)," said Maldonado. "When they put the effort in, good things will happen. I was pleased that they put the effort in (the game) and was pleased that we finished some of our chances.
"They gave us what we (the coaches) asked for tonight."
Tan Troung opened the scoring in the first half. The freshman forward ran onto a through ball from Bret Robinson and connected on a shot to the upper left 90.
It was Troung's second goal of the season.
Dee Mabry put the Eagles ahead 2-0 with an unassisted goal just before halftime.
"That was pure luck," laughed Maldonado.
Drew pushed Rosewood's advantage to 3-0 in the second half. Senior forward Matt Davis battled Ayden-Grifton sweeper Felipe Ramirez for a loose ball near the end line, and fired a low pass to Drew, who tucked it into the net.
The Chargers denied Daniel Herring's shutout bid with a penalty kick from Carson St. Andrews in stoppage time. Herring finished with three saves.

highest dreams and ambitions. The books they have written contain
distilled wisdom on the art of living - mind, body and soul.
This type of philosophy has come to be known as "New Thought" or "Mental Science." The famous American psychologist, William James, in his classic work The Varieties of Religious Experience, called New Thought a "religion of healthy-mindedness." Whilst New Thought is not a religion as such, there are several religious denominations within the New Thought Movement, and New Thought principles are becoming more and more accepted within mainstream psychology the world over.
A concise definition of New Thought is the statement of purpose adopted by one of the earliest recognizably New Thought groups, the Metaphysical Club of Boston, Mass., USA, founded in 1895: "To promote interest in and the practice of a true philosophy of life and happiness; to show that through right thinking, one's loftiest ideals may be brought into present realization; and to advance intelligent and systematic treatment of disease by spiritual and mental methods."

|It is not by
mere chance that you have come across this website, for in this great
wonderful universe of God's there is no such thing as chance. It is
the natural outcome of your desires and thought processes that have
you to that place in life where the spiritual hunger and thirst within
you needs satisfying. Whilst the traditional religions of this world
a purpose while needed, they are in effect really nothing more than
leading us upwards on our path to God.
It has been said by many that religions are the cause of more of the conflicts in this world than virtually anything else known to man and that the world would be a far better place without them and we would not disagree with this. It has also often been said that religion is the main cause of mankind's problems, but this we would take exception to for we contend that ignorance and selfishness are the root cause of man's difficulties. It is not more or better religions that mankind needs most, but spiritual understanding and enlightenment to the great facts of the universe. It is through human pain and suffering that we as a race have evolved to the point we are now at, and this is the way it must be, for it is only through learning from our past mistakes that we can hope to advance and improve as a race at all.
The world as we know it is the outward manifestation of the collective beliefs of all mankind. Collectively the human race has created the reality we live in and individually within that reality we create our own realities. The time is coming and is now here when each of us must awake from our spiritual slumber and create a new reality, a new world permeated with justice and equality, with freedom and brotherly love.
With all the problems we are facing in the world today this may seem like a very tall order. Happily help is at hand, however, and all those who are interested in the deeper issues of life and who are willing to invest some time and effort in learning and putting into practice the principles outlined by the many inspired writers featured on this website will be deeply rewarded, and will realize that one by one, one person at a time, we really can change the world into a better place.
May your search for ultimate Truth be a joyful one!

(Ephesians 2:19-22) So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.
(The 21st [Century] Revelation 1-7) Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any divide. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son."
(The 2nd Genesis 1-3) Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he ceased from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Photographing Portraits and Ink Wash Techniques
1st Class: Krystof
During todays class you will all be taking photos of yourselves with the camera and lights from the school.
2nd Class: Today we will be drawing self portraits in pen and ink from the images which were taken on Monday.
First we will "Live Trace" all of our images in Illustrator. If you don't know how to Live Trace then here's a quick tutorial.
By Live tracing the image we will get a clear "value scale" map of our images. A value simply refers to a shadow. Since we don't have a lot of time to spend drawing these we can use the same transfer technique we used on our stencils so we can have more time working with the materials, and many of the drawing elements will be already taken care of.
In this video tutorial we can see how to simply make different values for making washes with ink.
You will be using the photographed portraits made with Krystof and then you will be drawing these images with pen and ink, and then use ink wash techniques to fill in the final value shapes and variations.

Well enjoy you stay and live and walk with respect.Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa are well awares of the opression and desecration done to their ancestors in Hawaii,by the hand of America,so with this in mind carry yourself respectfully.

get real mate,what about the oppression and desecration done to the real indiginous people ie the moriori,by the maori.wake up and smell the coffee dickhead.
RE: Great surf city« Reply #3 on: May 29 2007 18:05:00 »
No, u need to wake up dave! The moriori 'theory' was created and advocated by the Crown to justify or ease the pressure they were facing in regards to their treatment of the real indigenous peoples of NZ, the NZ Maori. That type of propaganda is the same method that Bush and co are/have used to create a sense of fear among Americans and the like, to justify the invasion of Iraq, Afghan, and Iran soon! Go to Uni or Polytech and take a Treaty of Waitangi paper. Or if u cant do that, imagine if the tables were turned, and NZ was discovered and settled by English people - then 400-500 years later boatloads of dark skins come over, take all the land, desacrate the white culture to a point where they are at the lowest end of all socio-economic scales.
RE: Great surf city« Reply #4 on: June 27 2007 21:06:00 »
Hey bro, honestly most unis are at least 30 to 45 min from the beaches! Auckland uni in the city 30 min to piha and all other spots! Waikato uni is 30 min from ragalan! (world class wave)
If you wana b real close to the beach then you would choose otago university. Mountains are real close too! The only problem is it gets dam freezing. people still surf in winter but cold as!!! However summer you get away with a 2m short arm steamer and it absolutly pumps! hundreds of uncrowded beaches points!!!
So way it up warm vs cold vs travelling! I went to Auckland uni and surfed heaps in between classes, just had to travel that 30 min! Dont worry bout green! NZ is as green as it gets! Good luck.

How Big Was Monday's CME?
This big! The M1.7-class flare that erupted from active region 1461 on Monday, April 16 let loose an enormous coronal mass ejection many, many times the size of Earth, making this particular writer very happy that our planet was safely tucked out of aim at the time… and 93 million miles away.
The image above was obtained by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory's AIA 304 imaging instrument on Monday during the height of the event. I rotated the disk of the Sun 90 degrees to get a landscape look over the eastern limb, cropped it down and then added an Earth image to scale — just to show how fantastically huge our home star really is.
(Read "Watch it Rain on the Sun")
Some minor editing was done to increase contrast and heighten detail in the eruption.
The CME was not directed our way, but it was aimed at NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft, which will encounter the ejected material full-on.
Read more about this event in a previous Universe Today post here, and check out hi-def videos of the CME from SDO here.

Is that what we can expect in 5bn years, but extending to 2-3 AU and on an hourly basis?
Pretty much.
daily weather report would looks insane
Nice image – though it looks like your representation of Earth is somewhat larger than actual scale.
Maybe slightly, but it's close. Scale illustration: http://wp.me/aru7J-CQ
I would love to see IBEX data when these kinds of CMEs hit the Solar Heliosheath. It would be intersting to understand how such energy outbursts at the sun propagate thoughout the Solar system with respect to its magnetic heliospheric current sheet.
The sun is the centre of complex dynamic system, and while this CME missed us, its still pumping tremendous amounts of energy into the solar dynamo. Does the Heliosheath enlarge like a balloon due to diffusion at its boundary regardless of a sunspots origin on the sun?
How big is this eruption in comparison with that one that bathed the Earth in the last middle March?
Video from helioviewer.org : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvO1jekLODM
They always talk about how big such a CME "appears", but never how dense and how big that mass would be when it had the typical density of Earth.
Fried chicken on a grand scale.
Magnetically constrained plasma rain
falls back on the Sun
due to electric attraction.

Obama caps executive salaries of firms seeking federal aidFebruary 5th, 2009 - 4:55 am ICT by IANS
Washington, Feb 5 (DPA) US President Barack Obama Wednesday announced tough restrictions on the salaries of Wall Street executives seeking government aid and slammed financial firms for shirking their responsibilities as the country suffers a severe recession.The new rule will limit executives from companies getting "exceptional assistance" from the government to a salary of $500,000 per year. Obama described it as as a "fraction" of the millions of dollars that top executives typically receive.
"We all need to take responsibility," Obama said at the White House. "This includes executives at major financial firms who turned to the American people, hat in hand, when they were in trouble, even as they paid themselves customary lavish bonuses."
Wall Street firms have lost hundreds of billions of dollars in assets related to the US housing-market downturn. Yet a report by the New York State Comptroller last week said companies paid out $18.4 billion in cash bonuses during 2008, a 44-percent drop from 2007 but still the sixth-largest bonus year on record.
"We're going to be demanding some restraint in exchange for federal aid," Obama said, describing the companies' past practices as "shameful" and the "height of irresponsibility."
The new restrictions come as the administration plans to unveil a series of fresh proposals next week to help stabilise the financial system. Many US banks remain under threat of bankruptcy.
Banks have sharply restricted lending to the wider public in order to hold onto much-needed cash, sparking a massive cutback in consumer spending in the US. Congress approved a $700-billion economic rescue package in October to stave off a collapse of the financial industry.
The Wall Street bonuses have sparked outrage among the US public, which suffered some 2.6 million job cuts last year, as well as lawmakers who have criticized banks for not using taxpayer funds to free up lending to consumers.
"We certainly believe that success should be rewarded. But what gets people upset, and rightfully so, are executives being rewarded for failure - especially when those rewards are subsidized by US taxpayers," Obama said.
The salary cap will be in place as long as financial firms are holding government funds. Executives can also receive additional pay in the form of restricted stock, which could only be cashed in once the firm has paid back the government.
The new rules will also force companies to be more transparent in their corporate purchases, such as private jets.
The cost of Obama's new effort to stabilize the financial industry could run to $2 trillion, according to US media reports. His plans may include the creation of a so-called "bad bank" that would take the troubled mortgage-related assets off the balance sheets of banks.

Vintage photos of:
Washington, D.C., circa 1926. "Miss Tomlin's School." Run by Miss Queenie Ada-Maye Tomlin. National Photo Co. Collection glass negative. View full size.
At least one kid doesn't seem to be applying himself with the dedication of his peers. The one in the center, with his legs half-crossed and his hammer poised over nothing in particular seems to be thinking, "This is dumb. I'm bored."
About 25 years later, my shop teacher, Mr. Belcher would tell me "Urcunina, Plastic wood is for mistakes in the wood, not your mistakes."
This looks for all the world like a still from an Our Gang short.
The large brick and stone building visible behind the others is the back end of St. Matthew's Cathedral, which still stands and is a magnificent structure.
You can see the pair of arched windows of the Cathedral just above the roof line of the two-story brick structure behind the tree. St. Matt's fronts on nearby Rhode Island Ave NW, with the back abutting structures in the 1700 block of N Street. Many of the fine old townhouses still stand along this block of N Street, although they have been repurposed as law offices, the Tabard Inn and so on.
The site of number 1758 is now occupied by a modern glass office box. A small brick structure, looking much like the altered remains of the carriage house in the photo, with the little second floor window, still stands -- bricked up and forlorn.
[There's an interesting two-pronged alleyway in back, St. Matthew's Court. - Dave]
These children did not make any of the furniture they are "painting" and hammering on. That is the furniture of the play yard. And they are play-acting that they are working on it.
I mean seriously, have you ever seen a five-year-old paint a chair without getting one drip on his clothes or the ground? They have a bucket of paint brushes to play with, but no paint.
The little house may have been a project made by older children with the supervision of the adults. And the "chairs" that are made of cut melon crates (the boy on the far right with glasses has one) may have been child projects. But the main shelf, table, bench, and chairs are not.
Each kid seems to be doing something they are interested in, some working together, some working alone.
According to "A Handbook of American Private Schools" published in 1926 by Porter Sargent of Boston:
Miss Tomlin's School, 1758 N Street, Washington, is a day school for little children, offering instruction from kindergarten through the seventh grade. There are special music and French departments, and afternoon activities are featured. Miss Q. Tomlin is principal.
It also has a notation of "$200" which was probably the tuition.
Interestingly, the National Photo Company collection also contains the image below of the exterior of "Mrs. Tomlin's School" listing the address as 1800 19th Street, NW. It is unclear why there is a discrepancy between the address listed on the photograph which was probably taken at the same time as the one above and the address listed in the handbook. The building at 1800 19th Street NW still exists and is in extremely good condition.
[The photo below is from 1921; in 1923 the Washington Post still listed the school's address as 1800 19th Street. After Miss Tomlin married the Rev. Alfred Cheetham in 1926, it moved to an Episcopal rectory in St. Mary's City, Maryland. - Dave]
... that the two boys on the left appeared to have traded not only one sock each, but one SHOE each, too. Those impish little scamps!
I don't know how much help these kids got nailing together these projects, but they are way ahead of what kids could do today.

Accounting& bookkeeping outsourcing and your business
Owners of startups and small businesses sometimes find it a bit challenging to hire people to work for them. It is impossible for you to do all of the work yourself, but, you need help and most small business owners just cannot afford that cost, without the business suffering. In this case, many small business owners turn to USA tax outsourcing firms. But, is outsourcing really the escape route that it is cracked up to be?
Owners of startups and small businesses sometimes find it a bit challenging to hire people to work for them. It is impossible for you to do all of the work yourself, but, you need help and most small business owners just cannot afford that cost, without the business suffering. In this case, many small business owners turn to USA tax outsourcing firms. But, is outsourcing really the escape route that it is cracked up to be?
Today, the world is closer to being that global village than it ever has been. There are so many platforms online where employees can meet people who will work for a lot less than the job is actually worth. These platforms are where many small business owners offer labour for outsourcing book-keeping in Australia. The employees found on these platforms are usually located in different countries and as such, they would not be protected by law. Upwork and Freelancer are some of the many websites, today that help business owners and contractors to meet. In general, business owners who outsource their work experience a bit of a drop in productivity, however, the savings that they are making seem to override that. As this is money that they can use to invest in the business to make it better. The steadily growing idea of outsourcing for cheap labour is one that is often debated. Many people are of the belief that it is not fair that people are being paid so very little to work. Regardless of that, the virtual outsourcing industry has been growing, as over 2 million jobs were outsourced, last year alone. For the most part, outsourced jobs are usually related to I.T., USA Accounting, business accounting services in UK, etc. As outsourcing grows, other types of jobs related to Law and Science are being outsourced too. Small business owners are often overwhelmed with their own work load, so menial tasks such as making citations, researching and creating personalized e-mails, get outsourced to Virtual Assistants. These Virtual Assistants take on jobs that others are either too busy to do, or can't be bothered to do. And this saves money for small businesses that cannot afford to pay a regular salary to someone not hired remotely.
Outsourcing accounting in Australia can also prove to be a way for you to get higher quality of work, not only for less money, but also get it done in less time. Remote workers tend to stick around doing menial jobs, for longer. For example, if a small business owner should hire someone locally, to come into the office and do those tasks, it is a very high possibility that that individual will not remain in business doing those jobs for long, or even full time. Many small business owners start out just outsourcing tax advisory and filing or other taxation services in UK, but as they realise just how useful virtual assistants can be and begin to outsource more serious work, until the majority of their business is done through outsourcing. Outsourcing is useful, whether or not you agree with the ethics of it. Outsourcing saves money for small business owner, as well as provides jobs for other. However, many still hold the position that it is unfair, as these contractors have no legal protection.
Why Outsource Payroll, As A Small Business?
Payroll. One of the many responsibilities of running a business. Taking care of payroll helps you to keep your business in order. However, it may prove to be a timely process, especially when you have your hands full taking care of the business accounting services in UK. Why should small businesses outsource the process of payroll? Until you decide to give it a try, having an outsider process your payroll may seem like not such a good idea. However, it is actually the better option, when you take objectivity into consideration. If you compare it to doing it in house and all the personal opinions that will get into the business of it, along with the mistakes that you are likely to make if you do it yourself, you can see how outsourcing accounting in Australia will be a better idea. I know that if you are operating a new business, it may be difficult for you to understand how outsourcing your payroll may be an asset to your business, so, here are a few that will help you to make an informed decision:
Too much inside information on the inside
One of the main issues that you may face with doing your payroll internally is that your employees begin to know way too much. It is ok to have transparency within the work-place, however, making everything crystal clear may not be the best way to keep everybody together. With doing payroll internally, your employees begin to know how much their co-workers are getting paid. Some may be disgruntled by the fact that others are getting paid more than them. Others may be starting to treat others as inferiors, when they realize that they are getting couples pennies more. You see where I am going with this. So, it is a better idea for you to have an objective mind taking care of payroll for your business. If issues like these arise, you may prefer to outsource book keeping in Australia. In reality, that is what could cost you a pretty penny.
Most of the time when you chose to do payroll by yourself is that you can easily attract penalties. The truth is that processing your payroll is not a difficult task. It, however, takes focus and attention. Many small business owners only do payroll a few times per year. This where you begin to make mistakes and attract these penalties. The fact is that, while you are running a business, you may not have the time to do the payroll as often as you should, or even the time to spend to perfect it. And this is facilitates the need for USA Accounting services. The penalties that these mistakes can incur hundreds and even thousands of dollars that you will have to pay to the government. That is probably more than you would have to pay someone to take care of it for you. The good thing about outsourced vendors is that this is their job. In effect, they will make sure that your payroll is perfect. Not saying that they won't make mistakes, but, their mistakes will be a one off situation and they would be in a better position to spot them early and correct them, before anything hits the fan, keeping your business on good economic ground. In addition, most of the time, outsourcing accounting in Australia is beneficial. They often offer to cover the cost of the penalties, in the event that they make a mistake. So, whichever way you look at it, you may be totally eliminating the concept of having to lose any money into paying for penalties associated with your payroll. After you decide to outsource your payroll, you may be tempted to outsource the rest of your accounting. However, to keep more money in the business, you may want to do the rest of the accounting yourself. Remember, the purpose of the business is to make money and save money.
Why Outsource?
Today, outsourcing is preferred choice for businesses ranging from multinationals to small businesses. Outsourcing is just not being seen as the cost reducing option, but an option to add value to the company skillsets, fresh perspective and better decision making.Read More

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
On the stove, heat a small roasting pan (I use one like a slightly oversized tarte tatin pan) and sear the duck legs, skin-side down over medium heat until the skin turns golden and gives out some oil.
Turn the legs over, and take the pan off the heat while you cut the potatoes into 1-inch slices across, then cut each slice into 4. Arrange these potato pieces around the duck legs, then let a few sprigs of thyme fall over the duck and potatoes, and season with salt and pepper, before putting into the preheated oven.
Cook for two hours, occasionally turning the potatoes, for optimal outcome, which is tender duck legs and crispy potatoes, though both will be ready to eat after 1 1/2 hours.
Making leftovers right: If you have even a small amount of meat left, you could bag and mark it up and store it in the freezer for up to two months for future use. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Put a fork in it - or, if you'd rather, a two-pronged Canada Day hot-dog roaster.
We not only know who we are, but we like who we are. And as to how we see ourselves in the years to come, Britain and the United States take note. Or don't take note: Canadians don't much care one way or the other, as they intend to go their own way.
"The cliché about Canadians being timid and diffident and too self-critical is wrong," says Peter Donolo of The Strategic Counsel. "Canadians think they're the cat's meow.
"We have a healthy self-image - in fact, a puffed-up image."
This comes out of an exhaustive spring survey of 1,000 adult Canadians conducted by The Strategic Counsel for The Globe and Mail and CTV. It discovered some expected truths - Canadians consider their flag and the Mounties to be the country's most-distinctive symbols - but also uncovered some surprises, some might say shocks.
The monarchy is a bust with today's Canadians. When asked if they felt a stronger connection to the Queen or the Queen's representative, Governor-General Michaëlle Jean, 20 per cent named the Queen, 10 per cent said the G-G - and a remarkable 70 per cent said " neither ."
And when asked to look beyond the relatively popular Queen, 65 per cent of Canadians thought the ties to the Crown should be severed once she passes. Only 35 per cent care to think of Prince Charles, who will visit here this fall, as a future king of Canada.
"We were frankly surprised by the depth of the desire to cut ties with the monarchy," Donolo says.
Even more surprising to some is an argument that the national food of Canada is now poutine, that fries, gravy and cheese concoction that should only be consumed by the heartless.
More Canadians, it turns out, have eaten this relatively recent invention than have been in a canoe or seen a moose - the traditional tests of being Canadian.
"The food snobs won't like it," says Donolo. "Madame Benoît must be turning over in her grave."
There are signs, as well, that Canadians are finally turning away from picking through their own bellybutton lint in an endless search for self-identity.
That old joke about a Canadian coming to a fork in the road - one sign pointing to "Heaven," the other to "Panel Discussion on Heaven" - and the Canadian scurrying off to talk about it seems out of date.
There's a third sign that says "Home" and there's no debate at all on which direction it lies.
Donolo says there is a kind of new "smugness" out there that goes sharply against the grain of the legendary inferiority complex. Canadians now say, 89 per cent of them, that they live in the best country in the world. They say, 87 per cent, that Canada is in better shape than anyone else to deal with the world economic situation.
They believe Quebec will stay. They believe in their soldiers fighting in Afghanistan. And they think everyone living here could be just a bit more patriotic about it.
"If ever there was a true Canadian inferiority complex," Donolo says, "it's gone. When 90 per cent of the people think they live in the world's best country, that's not a country with a self-confidence problem."Report Typo/Error

- The problem of improving the voltage profile and reducing power loss in electrical networks is a task that must be solved in an optimal manner. Therefore, placement of FACTS devices in suitable location can lead to control in-line flow and maintain bus voltages in desired level and reducing losses is required. This paper presents one of the heuristic methods i.e. a Genetic Algorithm to seek the optimal location of FACTS devices in a power system. Proposed algorithm is tested on IEEE 30 bus power system for optimal location of multi-type FACTS devices and results are presented.

Active Duty Military Service
Please provide the following:
- A completed an Exemption Request Application Form
- A copy of your military paperwork showing the date that your active duty service began and the date that your active duty ended.
If you lived in campus housing for the fall semester, you will need to show that your release from active duty occurred after the start of the current academic year.
If your request is denied, you will need to follow the procedure for requesting an appeal.
Housing Exemption Requests: Decision and Appeals Processes
A University Housing Appeals Committee is available to review the decisions of the Office of Housing & Residential Programs when an appeal is made by a student whose request for an exemption has been denied.
If a registration hold has been placed on your record, you will be unable to register for classes until a decision has been reached on your request for exemption. This means that if you submit your request for exemption late, on or near the deadlines dates, or incomplete, you may not be able to register for classes until the next registration period (this period may or may not be prior to the start of the semester).
You should NOT make off-campus housing arrangements until you receive WRITTEN notification from the Office of Housing and Residential Programs that your request for exemption has been approved.
A student who gives false information concerning housing will be subject to disciplinary action, including possible suspension from the University. A student found to be living off-campus without approval from the Office of Housing and Residential Programs will be notified through their ASU student email account to move on campus. If this is not accomplished within ten (10) class days, the Director of Housing & Residential Programs will initiate disciplinary action.
If your request for release/exemption is approved, you will receive written notification stating the reason your request was approved. You will be billed through the date of the approval or the date that you officially check out of your residence hall room. If this date is after the start of the semester, you will be billed for room and board charges through the date that you officially check out of your residence hall room. Room rates are pro-rated on a daily basis and board rates are pro-rated on a weekly basis.
If your request for release/exemption is denied, you will receive written notification of the decision to deny, along with the reason(s) your request was denied. Current students or new students who have received their ASU email account will be notified via that email account. Prospective students or applicants who do not have ASU email accounts will be notified by U.S. Mail.
You may appeal the denial of your request by submitting a written request to the Student Life Office, University Center #112, attention: Chairperson of the Housing Appeals Committee. You can reach the Student Life Office by phone at 325-942-2191 or via fax at 325-942-2126.
Your appeal request should consist of a written statement of why you are appealing the decision as well as any additional or new information that was not included in your original exemption request that you would like to have considered for your appeal. Specific details regarding deadlines for submitting the appeal, date of the next scheduled appeals committee meeting, etc., will be included in the denial notification.
If the Housing Appeals Committee upholds the denial of your request for release/exemption, you will be expected to reside in university-owned housing and you will be held financially responsible for the full duration of your contract. A space in the residence halls will be held for you to uphold the university's responsibility to the contract.
If the Housing Appeals Committee approves your appeal, the committee chairperson will notify Housing & Residential Programs of the approval. You will be expected to follow the procedures to schedule and complete a proper check-out of your assigned room with your hall staff. Any required room and/or board charges (if applicable) will be pro-rated based on the date that you complete your proper check out.

Boone Station State Historic Site
"Daniel Boone (1734-1820), known for his role in the exploring and settling of the Kentucky frontier decided that the settlement of Boonesborough had become far too crowded. In December 1779, Boone and his family established Boone's Station. At its height, the community had 15 to 20 families, including the Boone, Barrow, Hays, Morgan, Muir, Scholl and, Stinson families.
Daniel Boone and his family endured many hardships while living at Boone's Station. Both his son Israel, and nephew Thomas Boone were killed at the Battle of Blue Licks in 1781. By 1781, Boone's claim to Boone Station proved to be invalid. He and other members of the settlement continued to live there for a brief period. However, by 1791 Boone Station had ceased to exist. In 1795, Robert Frank purchased 500 acres that included the Station site.
Eventually Boone and his family moved to Missouri where the famous pioneer died in 1820. In 1845, the Governor, and General Assembly of Kentucky requested that the remains of Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca Bryan Boone be reburied in Kentucky. They are buried in the State Cemetery in Frankfort, Kentucky."

To run Toolbox on Mac, use a Windows emulator. Toolbox for Mac has been customized to make it act more like a Mac application when it is run under an emulator.
This is the best that can be done for Mac at this time. Years of programmer time have gone into multiple attempts to make a native Mac version of Toolbox, but none of them have come to completion.
For an Intel Mac, there are several Windows emulators available. The least expensive emulators use Linux Wine.
WineBottler is free and does not require a Windows license. It is downloadable from WineBottler. It runs on Mac operating sysems 10.5 and later.
CrossOverMac is another Wine based emulator. It is not free, but it has some support. CrossOverMac is available from CodeWeavers.
Other emulators run a full version of Windows on the Mac. Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion are two of that type. The other emulators cost significantly more, plus they require a Windows license, which is not needed for Wine based emulators.
The Wine based emulators have a problem with the display looking wrong if Windows rendering is used. So there is a ToolboxMacWine.exe program that solves the Wine display problem. If you need Windows rendering, you should run the ToolboxMac.exe program and an emulator that runs a full version of Windows.
Do not try to use the Windows Toolbox installer under an emulator. Instead, use the Toolbox package for Mac.
To install Toolbox for Mac, place the Toolbox for Mac package zip file in your Applications folder and double click it to expand it. The result will be a folder named Toolbox. Inside the folder you will see a file named Toolbox.exe, which is the file that will be run by the emulator.
To install Toolbox under WineBottler, install and run WineBottler. Select the file Toolbox.exe as the file to install. Turn on the check box option for "Copy only". If you are using a non-Roman script or any font that requires Windows rendering, then scroll down the list of files to "usp10" and turn on its check box. If you don't know whether you need it, it won't hurt to include this in the install. Click on "Install". Enter a name such as "Toolbox" in the "Save As" box. Navigate the "Where" location to your Applications folder. It will take some time. When it is done, it will say "Prefix created successfully". The result will be an app named Toolbox in your Applications folder. It will have a red Toolbox icon.
To run Toolbox, double click the Toolbox icon. The first time you run it, you will see messages saying it is being prepared to run, but after the first time, it will run very quickly. Toolbox will give a message saying "You must specify the full pathname of the project file". Click OK and Toolbox will run, but with no project open. Choose Project, Open and navigate to the .prj file of your Toobox project. Click Open and your project should open. Under WineBottler Toolbox cannot remember the last project you had open, so you will have to do Project, Open every time you run Toolbox. To save having to do that, you may want to leave Toolbox running with your project open all the time. It regularly saves everything, so it is no harm to keep it running continuously.
The Toolbox package for Mac contains an upgraded version of Toolbox which has been modified to make it more usable on the Mac under Windows emulators. One change is that all of the Ctrl+click combinations have been changed to Shift+click. On emulators Ctrl+click is used for right click. So this change eliminates the conflict between the two different uses of Ctrl+click. Another change is to change Exit on the file menu to Quit, and to give it the standard Mac shortcut key of Command+Q. A number of Command shortcut keys have been changed to become Mac standard shortcuts, or to avoid conflicts with Mac standard shortcuts. The shortcuts are all shown on Toolbox menus, so you can see the details there.On Windows, Toolbox uses right click for jumps. On Mac some emulators can be set to make Cmd+click do right click. But on some, like WineBottler, that doesn't seem to work. The best alternative is to use the Cmd+J shortcut for jump. One difference is that right click jumps from the location of the mouse pointer, whereas Cmd+J jumps from the location of the insertion point cursor. So you have to click in the word you want to jump from to put the insertion point in it and then do Cmd+J to jump.
In spite of our efforts to make Toolbox act like a standard Mac program, there are a number of ways in which it has a different look and feel. The most obvious is that the Toolbox menu is not on the top of the screen. The emulator menu may be up there, and the Toolbox menu is in smaller print at the top of the Toolbox window. Another difference is that scroll bars do not look like Mac. A general difference is that in Toolbox all the subwindows are inside a large, general window, rather than being separate windows on the desktop.
One thing to be aware of is that the outer Toolbox window can have scroll bars. If you drag an inner window past the edge of the outer window, a scroll bar will appear on the edge of the outer window. To get rid of those scroll bars, scroll to the far left and top, and drag all windows left and up until they don't overlap the right or bottom edge.
If you bring in a project from another machine, you may find that the outer window is taller than your screen. If you can't see the lower right corner, you can't drag it. One way to overcome this problem is to click the green spot on the upper left corner of the main window. This will bring the window fully onto your screen. If you then close Toolbox and open it again, both choices of the green spot will fit on your screen.
One key combination you may need to learn is that Function+delete does forward delete. Forward delete is necessary to join two interlinear line sets into one if you want to adjust the line breaks of interlinear text by hand. You may also sometimes need to use the Function key to get function keys and to get home, end, page up and page down.
One limitation of using a Windows emulator is that Mac native non-Roman keyboards do not work. The way to work around that is to use a Toolbox internal keyboard for special keys. See Keyboard Definitions in the help file for information on how to do this.
Another limitation is that Mac native rendering for non-Roman scripts does not work. This means that some of the non-Roman fonts provided with the Mac do not render correctly.

SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) advocates are trained Vassar faculty, staff, and administrators who can provide you with support, help you access resources, or give you information about sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. They can be reached 24/7 by calling the Campus Response Center (CRC) at 845-437-7333 and asking to speak to a SART advocate.
Just because you call does not mean that you have to make a report, nor does it mean that an advocate will file one, though if you choose to do so, an advocate can provide you with information about how to proceed and what the process looks like. Advocates will keep your personally identifiable information private (unless there is a cause for fear for your safety or the safety of others).
SART advocates use a survivor-centered approach. That means from the moment that you call, you are in complete control. SART advocates will not push you to do anything; they will guide you along a process that feels right to you by providing you with information about resources on and off campus and letting you make decisions based on what feels comfortable.
Upon initial contact, SART advocates will:
- Offer information about resources that you might use to address personal, medical, psychological, safety, and academic concerns related to the incident.
- Provide guidance on procedures to be followed and names to be contacted for gaining rapid access to these resources.
- Offer to make initial contacts with resource providers and to introduce you to appropriate contact people, both on and off campus.
- Clarify distinctions between campus, civil, and criminal adjudication procedures and offer to help you make initial contacts with appropriate offices on campus, if you want.
- Serve as a liaison with other members of SART who may share more extensive knowledge of particular resources that you are interested in pursuing.
- Remain in close contact with the SAVP Director to ensure a coordinated, timely, and appropriate support system for you.

News > Weather app backed by WMO
New weather apps appear in the app store on a weekly basis but none have the auspicious backing of the World Meteorological Organization. The app known as MyWorldWeather is the mobile version of the World Weather Information Service website, a global web site presents official weather observations and forecasts for cities right around the world. It is the world's first ever location-specific weather service providing official city weather forecasts for people on the move.
MyWorldWeather was developed by the Hong Kong Observatory on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization. Equipped with location-based technology, the application detects the location where the user is located and to provide users with official city weather forecast automatically. It provides a quick search function at the same time which allows users obtaining latest official weather information of over 1,400 cities around the world.
The World Weather Information Service website is the only global website presenting official weather observations, weather forecasts and climatological information for selected cities provided by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services worldwide. It provides authoritative and reliable weather information from around the world to all internet users and media.

Drugs like Adderall, Ritalin and Strattera can be very effective at treating ADHD, but we…
The more I research, the more evidence I find that you can have a real effect on any learning disability, attention deficit or other shortcoming of your brain. It's not as easy as taking a pill. But it's certainly achievable, and from what I gather, the changes are lasting or even permanent.
Hold on. If I have ADHD, the only treatment is drugs. Except diets, meditation, and yoga which don't really do much. Right?
Not at all. In the past few decades, stunning advances have been made in Neuroplasticity: the brain's ability to drastically change with the right training.
What does this mean? It means that eventually, things like ADHD and other cognitive quirks won't be "problems" anymore. (I for one believe ADHD is an asset in many ways, but that's another discussion.)
So what is the "right" training? Here are a some resources that have reported success improving the brain permanently.
The Brain That Changes Itself tells amazing success stories of neuroplasticity, such as the curing of learning disabilities; stroke victims who make full recoveries; use of technology to help amputees with Phantom Limb Syndrome and vestibular dysfunction.
The Arrowsmith School has been developing learning disabilities for decades using regimens of intense cognitive exercises. The founder, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young was severely learning disabled, and after correcting her own deficits started the school.
Neurofeedback has been reputed to be effective in improving ADHD and learning disabilities. In New York, The Brain Clinic has reportedly gotten some ADHD people completely off their medication since their deficits have no longer been a problem. Here's an anecdotal video on neurofeedback for ADHD.
Many of the above treatments claim to be highly effective but are expensive. I've been obsessed with Lumosity since it's a cheap do-it-yourself brain entrainment solution. I do the brain games almost every day, and within less than a month I started to see gradual improvement of my working memory, concentration and attention.

Growing economic, political, and social uncertainty in Europe and the non-core economies will maintain flight of safety capital flows to the US. These drivers will support the dollar and US private assets despite on going consolidation or corrective phase since early March. The majority's focus on the short-term means few will be prepared when the cycle shifts in the second half of 2017.
Headline: GLOBAL MARKETS-Concerns over Trump dent stocks, dollar
LONDON, May 17 (Reuters) - Concern that U.S. President Donald Trump's reform agenda could be slowed down, and that Trump himself could even face the threat of impeachment, added to disappointing U.S. economic data on Wednesday to hit the dollar and spur a pullback from richly valued stocks.
Reports that Trump asked then-FBI Director James Comey to end a probe into his former national security adviser have raised questions over whether obstruction of justice charges could be laid against the president.
