Back in October, we wrote about how the Philadelphia Eagles were trying to stop radio stations from doing promotional giveaways of tickets they had legally purchased. The team basically claims that the terms (which no one reads nor technically "agrees" to) on the back of the ticket forbid such uses of the tickets. Instead, clearly, the Eagles wanted to sell the rights to do promotional giveaways. Now there's a similar lawsuit involving Major League Soccer and FIFA. JJ points us to a lawsuit in which the organization that handles marketing for both soccer organizations is quite upset at Black & Decker for doing ticket giveaway promotions. The reason why they're so upset? B&D competitor Makita is "the official power tool" of both soccer leagues in the US. In this case, they're arguing trademark infringement and breach of contract, though both seem questionable. If it's an accurate promotion, such that B&D is literally giving away legally purchased tickets and merchandise, then as long as it doesn't suggest endorsement from the soccer leagues, there shouldn't be much confusion. As for the breach of contract, if B&D never agreed to the contract, it's hard to see how they can be held to it.

Beyond absurd...... every time I think the RIAA is the kingpin of idiot agencies -- along comes the NFL to remind us how much a bigger ass they are....
after all, these are the same guys who went to court to shut down a church's showing of the superbowl to the homeless.

that's like, built in lost money for no gain, right there.
doesn't that, essentially, defeat the point in the whole exercise? :S
Anonymous Coward, 29 Dec 2009 @ 5:15amThe only way I'd go see a pro soccer game is if somebody gave me free tickets. Come to think of it, the only time I've ever seen a pro soccer game was when somebody gave me free tickets.
Danny, 29 Dec 2009 @ 6:26amWhat's with the whole "official ______ of the ______" deal anyway? Are there really enough people out there that will guy that product just because its the official whaterever of some sports league?
Okay maybe if it were something related to the sport like shoes, power drinks, or clothing but how are power tools related to soccer?
Okay nevermind I just answered my own question.
The relation is that soccer is marketed to men and supposedly men and power tools go hand in hand. I guess...

The implied endorsement is always thereIf it's an accurate promotion, such that B&D is literally giving away legally purchased tickets and merchandise, then as long as it doesn't suggest endorsement from the soccer leagues, there shouldn't be much confusion.
The implied endorsement is always there. The use of the name of the league, the team, and all that goes with it is there. Remember, this isn't a promote for the league (they do get some bonus exposure), it is a promotion for B&D.
B&D could have done it by being generic "buy one of our great power tool, and win tickets to a major sporting event in your area" or similar. If they mention the team, the league, whatever, it immediately creates the impression that there is an endorsement.
Remember, it isn't up to B&D to decide what kind of promotion (even free) that the soccer league gets. That choice is up to the soccer league only.
Sorry Mike, but this is another obvious one that you don't seem to get.
kryptonianjorel (profile), 29 Dec 2009 @ 8:12am
Re: The implied endorsement is always thereOh please. B&D has no need to be generic about their sporting tickets they're giving away. I wouldn't bother entering their contest or anything if I didnt know what the tickets were.
Haven't you heard of the First Sale Doctrine, and how that trumps all of this bullshit contract law? If B&D buys these tickets, they can do whatever they want to do with them. They need to be able to tell the people what the goods (in this case tickets) are. Its not trademark or copyright infringement or anything of the sort as long as B&D is not misrepresenting the tickets.
If people couldn't advertise what they're selling or giving away, ebay and craigslist would have been shut down looooooong ago.
And promotion is not some sort of right, as you seem to claim. The soccer league can't prevent newspapers from covering it, tv from insulting it, or techdirt from bashing it.
Peter, 29 Dec 2009 @ 8:32am
Re: Re: The implied endorsement is always thereNot true. It is scalping by B&D. Because you are paying for them. If you fil out a registration that is worth money to B&D who sells the lists for big bucks over and over. So by registering you are buying a chance to get the tickets. Thus B&D is making money. That is Scalping and that is illegal. It says so right on the tickets.
Anonymous Coward, 29 Dec 2009 @ 8:17am
Re: The implied endorsement is always thereFunny, but you seem to be the only one who "gets" it. There's no implied endorsement. The league doesn't have exclusive use of its name, or control of it, as long as that use is descriptive in nature. In the case of the Eagles's tickets, it did seem like the radio station was implying a connection between the team and the station that didn't exist. However, to give tickets away and say "to an NFL game", is not a breach of trademark or anything else, except possibly an unenforceable (and probably illegal as well) "license" printed on the ticket. If it IS an NFL game, then there's no restrictions on SAYING it's an NFL game, as long as you're not implying that you're connected to the NFL. Last time I checked, anyone (including corporations) can buy the tickets.

Re: The implied endorsement is always thereso you are saying you aren't allowed to give away a product that you purchased with your own money?
i understand why the soccer league is not happy about B&D since what they are doing makes it less appealing for Makita to sponsor them but there is no case here.
Vincent Clement, 29 Dec 2009 @ 9:05am
Re: Re: The implied endorsement is always thereIn the scheme of things, Makita shouldn't care. After all, B&D is paying for someone to attend a game that will have Makita advertising all over the place.

Well then, the professional sporting leagues better get after season ticket holders who use their tickets to attract and/or reward clients.

Implied endorsement by whom?What is worrisome about this lawsuit is that although the complaint does allege that the purpose of the marketing ploy was to imply that the teams in question had endorsed Black and Decker, it seems just as likely that Black and Decker was trying to show its fealty to the team.
Back in the 70's, anybody could make up a shirt that said New York Yankees or New York Giants on it, and then wear it or sell it. The folks wearing those shirts didn't care one whit about whether the Yankees or Giants made the shirt or had taken a cut of the shirt-makers' revenue. But MLB and NLF started filing lawsuits claiming that fans would automatically assume that the Yankees or Giants had endorsed or at least approved of the shirt sellers, and by winning a couple of cases, they created a new rule of law -- you can't sell shirts showing support for a team without paying the team off.
I'd hate to see another expansion of team owners' monopoly on displays of support for their teams.
Anonymous Coward, 29 Dec 2009 @ 9:36am
Re: Implied endorsement by whom?...it seems just as likely that Black and Decker was trying to show its fealty to the team.
Absolutely, by allegedly telling the ticket sales personnel, after being rebuffed trying to purchase tickets for running a promo, that the tickets were for the personal use of B&D employees as a part of the company's employee appreciation day.
Quite frankly, I was a bit surprised to not see a COA for tortious interference with prospective contractual advantage.
Simple Answer, 29 Dec 2009 @ 8:32amThen don't give away tickets to their games, give away something else.

Re:Does General Electric send out nastygrams to banks when they give away free toasters ?
No, and the bank doesn't try to imply that they somehow have a relationship with GE either. They give away a "free toaster", nothing more and nothing less.
If B&D gave away major league event tickets they wouldn't have an issue. Using the team name and such implies a relationship which is not there.

Re: Re:"If B&D gave away major league event tickets they wouldn't have an issue."
Last time I checked, that's what you do in a "giveaway", you give away something (like major league event tickets).
"Using the team name and such implies a relationship which is not there."
Some one else asked this earlier and you didn't respond, so I will ask again. If they are describing what the tickets are for, why should they avoid naming the teams or the league involved? Are we not allowed to even mention the names of the teams or the league anymore?

Re: Re: Re: Re:Yawn.
Radio stations give away tickets with permission (and are often either paid to give them away or make other in kind trade deals to get them).
So, sorry, you fail. Would you like to try again?
KevinJ (profile), 30 Dec 2009 @ 6:45am
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:"Radio stations give away tickets with permission"
So, if I have tickets for a game, I can't give them away because I don't have permission? /sarcasm
And you didn't answer my earlier questions. Why, if they are describing the tickets, are they disallowed from using the names of the teams or the sports league? Is using those names in a descriptive manner somehow an infringement of trademark? And if it is infringement, I guess all media coverage should stop because they're using the names descriptively too, right?
Lance, 29 Dec 2009 @ 10:11am
Normally I agree with Mike...but this time you are a bit off. While in principle I agree that a radio contest to give away tickets should not offend a trademark or license, the station went to far. If you look at the complaint that is linked in Mike's original article on the subject, you will see that actual promotional material used by the broadcaster. They are using the tickets as part of their "score a touchdown for your business" advertising push. The material has the Eagles logo on it and is clearly implying a connection between the entities. This goes far beyond a simple "be caller number 'x' and win tickets to the Eagles game" promo.

No. 24 Memphis rallies past No. 23 Gonzaga, 60-54
No. 24 Memphis rallies past No. 23 Gonzaga, 60-54
Feb. 09, 2014
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis coach Josh Pastner wasn't going to let No. 23 Gonzaga win on its 3-point shooting.
And while the strategy seemed at first suspect, it eventually proved the right move for the No. 24 Tigers.
Chris Crawford and Michael Dixon Jr. both had 11 points, and Memphis scored the final 10 of the game to beat Gonzaga 60-54 in a non-conference game Saturday night.
"I kept saying: 'If we give up some 2s, that's OK,'" Pastner said he told his team. "We could not give up any 3s. We were not going to hold them scoreless, but if we're giving up anything, it's going to be 3s."
Gonzaga, one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the country at 42 percent, was 2 of 16 from outside the arc. Kevin Pangos, Gonzaga's leading scorer at 15.3 a game, was limited to seven points, and was 1 for 7 from 3-point range.
"We kept staying with the game plan. We did not relax," Pastner said. "We just said: 'Hey, this is what we are doing, and if they beat us, they're going to beat us with 2s.'"
Dixon's layup with 1:11 left came in the midst of the final rally as the Tigers (18-5) erased Gonzaga's nine-point lead.
"We just didn't execute and didn't do a good job making plays," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said of the stretch performance.
Shaq Goodwin and Joe Jackson had 10 points each for Memphis, which has won six of seven. Goodwin had eight rebounds and three blocks as Memphis controlled the boards 44-28.
Sam Dower led Gonzaga (21-4) with 18 points and eight rebounds, shooting 9 of 12 from the field. Przemek Karnowski and Gerard Coleman had 12 points apiece.
Gonzaga led 54-50 with 3:16 left when Pangos connected from 15 feet. But the Zags did not score again, and Dixon had six points in the final 4 minutes for Memphis.
"We had to grind it out," Pastner said. "This was a grind it out game."
Gonzaga made 45 percent of its shots, including half of its 24 attempts in the second half.
Meanwhile, Memphis shot 35 percent for the game after a poor first half.
"We are going to be in games where we are not making every shot," Jackson said, "but we made the ones that counted."
Memphis struggled with Gonzaga's inside game until the middle stages of the second half. The 7-foot-1 Karnowski used his height advantage to get post position on the smaller Memphis frontline.
But down the stretch, Memphis got to the basket and the free throw line with its quick senior guards.
"That's where we had most of our success," Few said of the Zags post play. "(Memphis) amped it up some, fronted a little harder and made the entry passes a little harder."
Gonzaga led 25-22 at the break in a half that saw tight defense for both teams leading to low shooting percentages, particularly for Memphis.
The Tigers were 9 of 34 from the field for 26 percent. Gonzaga was better at 41 percent.
Coleman came off the bench for 10 points to lead the Zags in the first half. Crawford connected on a pair of late 3-pointers in the half to collect nine for Memphis before the break.
Gonzaga scored the first five points of the second half, and extended the lead to 10 at 38-28 when Karnowski hit consecutive baskets near the 16-minute mark.
The lead would stretch to a dozen before Memphis would answer.
Memphis chipped away at the advantage, cutting it to 44-42 with 8:16 left, but that wasn't enough as Gonzaga kept the lead, stretching it back to nine. Memphis got to within 52-50 on Dixon's drive at the under 4-minute timeout.
It wasn't until another drive by Dixon with 1:11 left that the Tigers took the lead. That was part of winning stretch for the Tigers, who ended Gonzaga's seven-game winning streak.
"I kept saying: 'Guys, we've got to chip away. Do not give up any 3s. We're going, at some point, get going offensively,'" Pastner said. "And we scored enough."

Note to self and to everyone else who cares: Do not EVER sign up for 2 events in a summer tournament anymore. Especially in Dallas when it's over 100 degrees!!! It was brutal!! Played 6 matches (3 singles; 3 doubles), a total of 13 hours of tennis this weekend. Go for quality over quantity from now on. My last singles finals match could've lasted at 6-2; 6-2 win but instead it went 3 hour long 6-2; 5-7; 12-10 cause I was tired, lost focus and made errors because of it. I still won but it could've been a lot shorter and a better quality match. After that long match, had to play doubles and I got nothing left to give. Got 2nd place in doubles. Now everything on my body is hurting!!! :-(
I think my diet the whole weekend consisted mostly of sports nutrition bars, sports gel packs, Advocare O2 performance pills, arginine, EFS electrolytes, gatorade, muscle recovery pills, sleeping disturbance pills, vitamins, more vitamins, and loads of carbs and some coffee.
I'm glad it's over! I'm glad my mixed doubles team pulled me out of the line-up today. Good decision, Captain! I cancelled tennis practice for tomorrow and I am not touching a racquet for 2 days! :-)

OUCH! I can't say I know exactly how you feel - but close. I've been there, done that - so excited to play tennis that I signed up for too much and wore myself out. But 12-10 in the final set?!?!?! No, have not been there. Good for you on winning that though! In a few days call up that girl and get a rematch! She won't know what hit her. :-)
Get on with your bad self, Christina! You're not a Superhero are you?

success story:had to tell somebody
Hi, my name is Rodney Sam. I've been researching my family history for about three years. I've traced my mothers branch back seven generations. I've been having trouble doing my dad's branch for awhile. But I just had a stroke of luck. My grandmother's name was Thelma Edwards from St. Landry Parish. Her parents are Pierre and Amelie LaChapelle Edwards. It turns out I have a cousin who did research on the Edwards history about ten years ago.I Recently got the book she made documenting all the research she did(literal and oral). Her name is Eula Mae Dell. She has traced my Grandmothers and a part of my grandfathers(Murphy Sam Sr.) family back a total of 11 generations to my earliest ancestors living in France. It also turns out that some of my ancestors were free persons of color for many generations in Opelousas, Louisiana originated in New Orleans in the mid 18th century. I also found out that a few of my ancestors owned black slaves. One was known as Francois Auguste Donato,Martin Donato and the earliest was Jean Baptiste Molliean(b.1764).Jean Baptiste and Auguste Donato are my direct ancestors. my 8th great grandfather, Jean Baptiste was the product of a relationship between his white master and a mulattoe slave. He was born on the German Coast and came to Louisiana after gaining his freedom. They were quadroons and mulattoes who were freed by their French white slavemasters(who was incidently their fathers) in their wills. I am extremely grateful for the information but feel funny about having black slaveholding ancestors because thats extremely rare.

PRAGUE (AP) — Ever since Tycho Brahe suddenly died in 1601, there has been a mystery about whether the Dane whose celestial observations laid the groundwork for modern astronomy fell victim to natural causes or was murdered.
On Thursday, scientists who had exhumed his body said one thing is clear: he was not poisoned with mercury.
"'We measured the concentration of mercury using three different quantitative chemical methods in our labs" in the Czech Republic, said Kaare Lund Rasmussen, associate professor of chemistry at the University of Southern Denmark.
"All tests revealed the same result: that mercury concentrations were not sufficiently high to have caused his death. In fact, chemical analyses of the bones indicate that Tycho Brahe was not exposed to an abnormally high mercury load in the last five to 10 years of his life," Rasmussen said in a statement.
The scientists didn't say what did kill the astronomer, but tests on the remains are still being conducted.
Brahe was long believed to have died at the age of 54 of a bladder infection. Legend said it was the result of his reluctance to breach court etiquette during a reception by leaving for a toilet. Kidney disease was another suspect.
But some speculated that he may have been poisoned with mercury, even at the hands of a king or a rival astronomer.
"Rumors of death by poisoning arose shortly after Tycho Brahe's death," said Jens Vellev, a professor of medieval archaeology at Aarhus University, Denmark, who heads the Czech-Danish team of scientists that conducted the research.
"Brahe's famous assistant (astronomer) Johannes Kepler has been identified as a possible murder suspect, and other candidates have been singled out for suspicion throughout the years."
Some even contend that a cousin of Brahe's killed him with mercury on the orders of Danish King Christian IV for allegedly having an affair with the king's mother.
Tests conducted in 1996 in Sweden, and later in Denmark, on samples of Brahe's mustache and hair obtained in a 1901 exhumation, showed unusually high levels of mercury, supporting the poisoning theory.
But Vellev wasn't satisfied with that conclusion and he won permission from the church and Prague authorities to reopen the tomb by saying the remains needed to be analyzed with contemporary technology.
His team opened Brahe's tomb in the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn near Prague's Old Town Square and got to work analyzing the remains.
"To definitively prove or disprove these much debated theories, we took samples from Tycho Brahe's beard, bones and teeth when we exhumed his remains in 2010," said Vellev.
Tests on the beard and bones resolved the mercury question, he said, but work is still being done on the teeth and that could determine what killed the astronomer.
Brahe was born in 1546 at his family's ancestral castle in Scania, then part of Denmark, and he studied astronomy at the University of Copenhagen and in Germany. He worked at the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II at a time when Prague was an imperial city.
In 1572, Brahe detected a new star in the constellation Cassiopeia. At the time the heavens were thought to be unchanging, so his discovery was startling. The next year, he became the first astronomer to describe a supernova, or exploding stars.

The stories about high cash rents continue. A farmer in west-central Iowa reported he just accepted a $550/acre bid on his 330-acre farm. The rent will be fully paid in advance March 1. The agreement is for one year. The farmer asked for sealed bids and the next closest bid was $350/acre.
The total rent this farmer will receive is $181, 500. This amount will be more money than what the farmer paid for all his land back in the '60s and early '70s.
Also, the farmer offering the highest bid lives about 30 miles away and has not farmed this land.
This is not the highest rent seen by Jerry Warner, chief management officer, Farmers National Company. He said he's heard of $600 cash rents in Iowa. The high rents are not surprising with the high profitability farmers are currently experiencing from their crop operations.

West London rental company Entec Sound & Light renewed its incredible 17 year acquaintance as a technical production supplier for the Bootleg Beatles on their latest UK tour …… supplying lighting and audio equipment plus crew.
Entec project manager Noreen O'Riordan comments, "Entec has been associated with the Bootleg Beatles since 1994. The band and crew take great pride in producing authentic sound and visuals based on the original Beatles shows of the 1960s, creating a stunning atmospheric evening that appeals to all generations".
The band are known as the definitive Beatles tribute act as well as the longest running and most successful, having formed in 1980 and been performing worldwide regularly ever since!
The show includes a full span of Beatles favourite tracks, complete with costume changes to match the era. The UK tour plays a wide variety of venues from theatres and concert halls to a selection of arenas, to wildly enthusiastic audiences cutting across all demographics.
To deal practically and efficiently with the different venues, both lighting and sound designs needed to be adaptable, and this was a key starting point for LD Mark Jones and FOH engineer Marc Langley.
Looking after sound for Entec was systems tech Chunk Charters, who is in his fourth year of working for the Bootleg Beatles, and still loving it! "There's a brilliant family atmosphere on the tour – we work hard and have fun," he comments, a sentiment echoed by other crew.
The sound system is a d&b Q Series line array, which is flown or ground stacked in multiple configurations depending on the place and space - with a typical flown set up being eight Q1, four Q-sub, two B2-sub per side with E3, Q7 and Q10 for infills, outfills and front fills. It's rare that two days are ever the same! The show is mixed by Langley using a Yamaha PM5D-RH.
Monitor engineer Simon Lutkin is using a Yamaha M7 CL console, and in keeping with the period feel of the performance, they are all on wedges and wired mics, utilising eight d&b M2 wedges, plus eight E3s for the orchestra and brass fills. There is a full complement of mics, with a heavy emphasis on Shure SM57s and 58s. Many of the instruments and back line elements also date back to the real Beatles heydays of the 1960s.
The main challenges for the sound department are definitely in dealing with the mix of venues, explains Charters. In some cases, if the house flying system would have to have been removed to accommodate them, they will leave it in and patch their stacks into the touring desks and the stage/monitor/floor package, which also works well. "One of the beauties of d&b is that it's a very easy and flexible system when it comes to either adding or subtracting," says Charters.
The other crucial consideration is sightlines, which have to be clear and clean in all directions, a process aided by the Entec crew's fund of experience and knowledge of the venues on the itinerary. Optimising the show to fit into different environments each day is also a big part of the buzz of 'making it happen' and everyone thinking on their feet to overcome the quirkiness of some of the rooms elucidated Charters.
For the larger arena shows - including the NIA Birmingham - extra gear in the form of additional Q1s, Q-subs and B2s was trucked up from Entec.
Pete "Pepper" Schofield co-ordinated all the lighting requirements on the road for Entec, working on his second Bootleg Beatles tour, and ensuring that all Mark Jones' requirements were met.
The lighting design partly mimics a vintage feel, so the moving lights are used subtly and the main objective is to light the band well and atmospherically without it being too busy or over-complicated.
The set up is a straightforward front and rear truss with a small amount of lighting on the floor.
The front truss features six Clay Paky HPE 300s and two Martin Professional MAC 250 Washes, plus an Optikinetics K4 projector – a quality antique piece of kit but not quite dating back as far as the Beatles! – which is fitted with a liquid oil wheel for some authentic liquid effects onto a projection screen hung off the back truss.
Also on the back truss are four Studio Due CS4 bars, four Sunstrips. five CP Alpha Beam 700s for big powerful beam effects, another six of the neatly sized Clay Paky HPE 300s and four MAC 250 Washes, which are also compact and bright.
On the floor are three CS4 bars, positioned along the back of the stage on stands.
Entec is also controlling the music stand lights for the eight piece orchestra from their dimmers.
Joining Schofield on the crew is Jonathan Cope, and Mark Jones also works with them every day, and runs the show from his Jands Vista S3 console.
Bootleg Beatles Manager Raj Patel, says, "The band have always shown loyalty to their suppliers and none more so than Entec Sound and Light. Entec provided sound and lighting systems for our first show at the Royal Albert Hall in 1994. Their co-operation and help in putting that first show together secured their services for the next 18 years! Noreen and Dick have always helped us as the show has grown and developed. This has not just been in supplying equipment …. their advice and friendship have enabled the band to successfully stage shows at some of the UK's biggest venues. The Bootlegs look forward to celebrating their 20th Anniversary of this relationship with Entec in 2014!"

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from ?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class broke out into laughter. )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you'll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won't you?
Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

@Mabel - it's called, "Confirmation Bias," in which they see and hear that which confirms their preset beliefs, and ignore anything contrary to them.
To a Christian, Satan was a creation of God because Satan is a fallen angel and God made the angels. I'm not sure to think of Satan as the ultimate bad guy, working to compromise souls so he can keep them in Hell, or if he is the sum of all evils.
The story had no reference to Jesus or other Christian icon. Why would his being Jewish matter in relation to this story? It's still a load of bullshit, no doubt, but I wouldn't use that fact to poke holes in it.
Right at the beginning, the teacher asks "Einstein" if he's christian, and "he" answered yes.
Thanks. I missed that detail. :p The very first line of the story Doh! *forehead slap* The coffee hasn't starting working yet.
RE: "The coffee hasn't starting working yet."
Try an intravenous drip, Richard - that always works for me --
Hook me up with your supplier - I need friends like that.
It's just Folger's - comes in Regular or Drip -- get the Drip. (Actually, that would make a good ad logo!)
I gots da Folgers, Boss. I gots dat. :) (French Roast).
Check the first two lines, Richard - I had to go back and look myself, I had missed it too --
Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
I referred to the question asked with the "First line" statement. But you are more correct with the apocryphal student's reply added to the mix.
I think I need a stronger caffeine drip...

Access to real food. Simple cooking skills and knowledge of nutrition. The promise of a healthy meal tomorrow. These are basic necessities for every person, and the reason we established the Epicure Foundation™ in 2007.
In Canada, about 13% of individuals and families, don't have safe, good-quality, nutritious food. To help address this issue, the Epicure Foundation™ recently granted a $10,000 in-kind donation to 15 organizations across the country. These organizations are working at the grassroots level and creating change within their communities to not only feed children and their families, but to teach essential cooking skills.
Of these 15 organizations, five were chosen by our Community (through online voting) to receive an additional $20,000 grant for their food security initiatives. The Epicure Foundation is pleased to announce the following recipients: Weston Frontlines Centre (Toronto), Shelbourne Community Kitchen (Victoria), YMCA of Kingston, Hope Blooms (Halifax), and Campbell River Family Services Society.
"Children should never have to wonder where their next meal is coming from, and we are dedicated to helping change the lives of Canadian families." - Amelia Warren

Drs Elmer Cranton and James Frackelton describe them, in an article entitled 'Free Radical Pathology in Age Related Diseases' published in The Journal of Holistic Medicine (1984 6(1)) as follows: 'Every free radical has an unpaired electron in an outer orbit, causing it to be highly unstable and to react almost instantaneously with any substance in its vicinity. These reactions often cause a cascade of new free radicals in a multiplying (chain-reaction) effect.' It is such free radical activity which allows high level radiation to damage and kill, as the rays (gamma, X, ultraviolet, cosmic etc.) knock electrons out of orbiting pairs, thus producing free radicals.
Radiation is one extreme of the range of this phenomenon, although some scientists describe the damage free radicals cause to cells in everyday life as 'continuous internal radiation'. Surprisingly perhaps, a good deal of free radical activity is produced by the body itself for specific purposes (killing bacteria
for example and in detoxification processes). This phenomenon can therefore be considered to be 'controlled internal radiation'. Oxygen in its everyday form is an amazing substance which can either generate free radicals or can help to switch them off. As Cranton and Frackelton explain it:
A liter of normal atmospheric air on a sunny day will contain over one billion hydroxyl free radicals, whereas oxygen at normal physiological concentrations in living tissues neutralizes more free radicals than it produces. When oxygen levels are reduced (low), as occurs in ischemic tissues (lacking good blood supply and therefore poorly oxygenated) oxygen becomes a net contributor of free radical damage.
Some oxygen processes are more likely to produce large quantities of free radicals than others, and it is when there is either too much or too little oxygen present in a metabolic reaction that the worst situations arise. Evolutionary processes have fortunately helped to ensure that we can survive in an oxygen environment through the provision of an army of substances which protect us, with healthy body cells producing and/or using over a dozen antioxidant control substances.
What free radicals do
If cellular damage is a cause of ageing, and if we can slow down that damage, it makes sense to think that ageing can be retarded. For example, when free radical activity is taking place, damage to cells occurs, protein synthesis becomes impaired, proteins become cross-linked and tangled, tissues become less pliable, arteries incur damage leading to atherosclerosis, genetic material (DNA/RNA) is damaged leading to possible cancer development and to inefficient repair processes, age pigments accumulate which literally drown the cells in lipofuscin, preventing them from functioning, and in general all the signs and indications of ageing are promoted, whether this is stiffness, poor circulation or wrinkles (cross-linkage), not to mention diseases such as atherosclerosis, arthritis, cancer and, it is now believed, Alzheimer's disease.
Professor Alan Hipkiss, of King's College, University of
London, writing in Human Ageing and Later Life (edited by Anthony Warnes and published by Edward Arnold, London, 1989) tells us that free radicals are also responsible for the damage which occurs in cataracts due to cross-linkage of proteins, and he says: 'Oxygen free radicals can also damage DNA which, if it is not repaired, could give rise to altered, mutant proteins.'
Some free radical activity is actually essential for good healthy functioning. For example, when certain of our immune functions are operating, say when white blood cells are attacking and deactivating invading micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi etc.) they generate free radicals in order to do their job. It should not be surprising to discover, therefore, that in the face of the flood of free radicals produced both by normal metabolism and other functions of the body, as well as those received from outside the body (radiation, low level radiation, cigarette smoke, environmental pollution, alcohol and many other 'contributors') our bodies have, of necessity, had to find ways of coping.
Can ageing due to free radicals be slowed down?
Professor Hipkiss is not sure. He says:
Ageing may be inevitable in complex organisms; indeed it is surprising that we live so long given the multiplicity of insults to which our cells are continuously subjected. Only homoeostatic mechanisms (self-repairing, self-balancing, including antioxidant functions) enable our survival. Maybe, if we wish either to live longer or to resist the ravages of time, we should design further homoeostatic systems to repair our repair systems.
Doctors Cranton and Frackelton dramatically underline the importance of dealing with free radicals:
When free radicals in living tissues exceed safe levels, the result is cell destruction, malignant mutation, tumor growth, damage to enzymes and inflammations, which manifest clinically as age-related, chronic degenerative diseases. Each uncontrolled free radical has the potential to multiply a
million-fold. But, when functioning properly, our antioxidant systems suppress excessive free radical reactions.
They point out that the life expectancy of mammals (such as ourselves) is in direct proportion to the free radical control enzymes, like superoxide dismutase. The use of antioxidant and dietary restriction approaches would seem to be able to boost and enhance antioxidant activity, given the evidence accumulated to date. We are literally repairing the repair system (or allowing it to repair itself) when we fast or modify what is eaten in the manner suggested by Drs Weindruch and Walford's experiments. The question seems not only to be whether such repairs influence life expectancy rather than health, but also what are the best ways of achieving this end?
Since Dr Denham Harman of the University of Nebraska first proposed that free radicals were the keys to ageing, as far back as the mid-1950s, the study of ageing has spent much time examining the possibilities of slowing down both free radical damage and ageing. Recently, however, although the theory still looks accurate in many respects, some doubts have begun to be cast on just how antioxidant activity at cellular level can be achieved. Our self-produced defense against free radicals comes in the form of substances which literally sacrifice themselves so that the rogue free radical molecules are mopped up, thus preventing their ability to latch onto electrons in healthy tissues, and damaging or altering them in the process.
Amazing substances
Our bodies have evolved defensive substances such as the enzyme catalyst which can deactivate hydrogen peroxide (bleach), one of the substances our immune system uses in its own attacks on unwelcome, invading, micro-organisms. Catalase and other antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase, are also present as defenders of body tissues against oxidative processes. These enzymes are dependent upon a number of trace elements and vitamins (mainly of the B-complex group) for their function, including copper, zinc and manganese (for SOD), selenium (for glutathione peroxidase) and iron (for catalase).
There are also non-enzyme free radical deactivators, some of which are literally consumed in their battle against radicals, including beta carotene (the precursor of vitamin A),vitamins E and C, amino acids glutathione, methionine and cysteine, and the mineral selenium which is symbiotically active with vitamin E.
A surprise defender
One of the more surprising antioxidants, which we produce in our own cells, is cholesterol. This substance helps protect the cell membrane against free radical damage, as well as itself being a precursor of vitamin D. Vitamin D is formed by the body, from cholesterol in the skin, in response to radiation from sunlight (ultraviolet light). When too much vitamin D is formed in some tissues this attracts the deposition of calcium into cells in the region, in turn interfering with normal cell transportation functions and energy production.
The health benefits which have been seen as a result of reducing cholesterol in the diet seem to be a result of a coincidental reduction in fat intake, which reduces free radical potential (fats peroxidize easily under free radical attack.) However, use of drugs which reduce cholesterol levels in the blood (nine-tenths of which is self-produced rather than result of the food we eat) have had a history of side-effects, mainly because of the failure to recognize the protection cholesterol gives us as an antioxidant.
Another extremely powerful antioxidant, universally present in the system, is uric acid, which, although toxic in excess, is easily metabolized by the body if adequate nutritional levels of vitamin C are present.
What about ageing?
Now, since we know that antioxidants can slow down or switch off free radical activity, should it not be the case that ageing automatically slowed down when these are supplied in increased quantities? Weindruch and Walford are not sure, saying that feeding antioxidants to animals has so far failed to demonstrate increase in life span (this statement has been challenged, see below They suggest that the 'excuses' which believers in oxidant nutrition offer for this failure are that the antioxidants given to the experimental animals may not be able to penetrate he sites of free radical activity in the cells, or that the body adjusts its own production of natural antioxidants downwards when these are supplemented in the diet, so that no net gain is seenin antioxidant activity (and therefore no improvement in terms of lessened damage or life expectancy). The second 'excuse' come at least partially accurate. As mentioned previously, we come equipped with a wide array of self-repair and protection mechanisms including an assortment of antioxidant enzymes which quench free radicals.
Richard Cutler of the National Institute of Aging in the US , studied more than 20 species, including rats and humans. In cases those that live longest have the highest and most active levels of antioxidant enzymes which literally soak up free radical activity (remember a squeeze of lemon juice on a browning apple, rust-proofing metal?). However, some studies show that when antioxidants such as vitamin A are provided, cells respond by reducing their own production of antioxidants, allowing the same amount of free radical activity to continue. This does not stand as absolute proof that antioxidant methods are not going to work, but certainly puts a question mark on just how this can best be achieved, and I tackle this later in the book.
One argument against free radical damage being a major cause ageing is based on the fact that the ageing process seems to a well-organized progression, whereas the damage cause by e radicals appears more chaotic and random. So, although it might well be that most if not all the major diseases of old age have roots which link them to free radical damage, this does not necessarily connect ageing itself to the activity of free radicals, only to poor health.
Genetics again
There is also the argument that when a certain degree of damage has taken place on a cellular level, a preprogrammed, genetically based process might be called into play, a sort of 'self-destruct button' having been pressed. Just when this happens will depend upon the degree of damage caused by free radicals (or other factors), which are themselves to a large extent the product of the rate at which metabolic activity is going on, which takes us back to the 'thrifty' and 'burner' types described by Weindruch and Walford.

Weekend after weekend, night after night, it's all the same: Go to bar. Consume many beverages. Go home and pass out. Why not shake things up a little bit? Obviously, I'm not saying to forgo the boozing - the landscape of Manor Lanes Bowling is littered with more booze-residued plastic cups than a frat party - but bowling is a surprisingly fun thing to do while imbibing.

Even though people may have these things set up, they may not actually practice their plans and items in their kit could be expired or inadequate. —Joe Dougherty
SALT LAKE CITY — When Sheridan Lyons heard a hurricane was on the way, she called her mother in Utah to tell her she was worried: The family she has spent a year with as a nanny in Connecticut didn't have any emergency supplies.
Lyons knew her parents' house in St. George was stocked with food, water, flashlights and batteries, but she wasn't ready for a disaster in New Canaan, Conn.
Lyons, 24, and her sister Cheyenne, 27, began purchasing water, food and supplies in anticipation of the storm. They were holed up in the basement with the family Sheridan Lyons works for Monday afternoon when the lights went out.
By Tuesday, the two St. George natives could only get occasional text messages to their mother and were literally in the dark about when the power would come back. A small generator provided some electricity, but the situation had become a waiting game filled with questions.
Would the drinking water last?
How long until they could call home and would cellphones work?
How would they get information about emergency shelters and relief operations?
Were they prepared to be without power for a day? What about a week?
Answering questions
Hurricane Sandy's rising tides and 80 mph winds left 39 people dead and 8.2 million people across several Eastern states without power as of Tuesday. As the nation looks on at the path of destruction left by the storm, Utahns are asking themselves if they are ready to endure such a disaster.
While the Beehive State enjoys sunny skies and one of the warmest late October weeks on record, Utahns who specialize in preparedness say the time to prepare and anticipate possible hardship is now. What do you need to grab to flee a mudslide or fire? What is needed for an extended blackout during a winter storm? And is there any way to protect against a catastrophic earthquake?
Joe Dougherty, a spokesman for the Utah Department of Public Safety's Emergency Management division, said the state boasts a high level of awareness about disaster preparations. Polling in recent years revealed that 75 percent of Utahns reported having some sort of emergency kit and 78 percent said they have an emergency plan.
Whether emergency supplies are current is another matter, Dougherty said.
"Even though people may have these things set up, they may not actually practice their plans and items in their kit could be expired or inadequate," Dougherty said. "Make sure that the clothes you have packed for your teenager are not the same clothes you packed when your teenager was a toddler."
Basic emergency kits, especially those meant to deal with inclement weather and power outages, should include food, water, warm clothing and bedding, flashlights and extra batteries, Dougherty said. Utahns are best prepared when they have enough ready resources to hole up in their homes for an extended period of time, he said.
One step at a time
Dougherty encouraged Utah residents and families to take a step-by-step approach to establishing emergency supplies and plans over time. He suggests starting simple by gathering medical supplies, buying an extra can of food on each grocery trip or establishing an out-of-state emergency contact.
"It can feel like preparedness is an overwhelming task," he said. "Take one thing you can do this week … take that and do it, cross it off your list and then move on to the next thing next week."
Tim Pedersen of Emergency Essentials, a Utah-based preparedness retailer, recommended the same basic supplies for Utahns, focusing especially on light sources. Pedersen warned that power outages like the ones plaguing the East Coast threaten comfort and security, especially as the days get shorter.
"Psychologically, it's interesting that lighting tends to be a big one," he said. "Come 6 p.m., things just suddenly become uncertain. You can't see things very well … that's disorienting and also troubling."
Pedersen estimated that based on what he hears from customers, only about half of Utahns would be ready if a disaster struck today. While most would be able to survive in their homes for several days based on what they already have, he worries that many wouldn't have supplies ready in the event of an evacuation.
Means for communication and news can play a vital role in emergency situations, with social media taking a prominent role as Sandy unfolded. Mashable reported Tuesday that "We are safe" became the top Facebook status during the storm.
Battery packs
Pedersen recommends portable battery packs and solar charging units, which are smaller than generators and don't emit fumes, to charge mobile devices during an emergency.
Goal Zero, a Utah company, sells chargers and battery packs designed for personal electronics online and at several outdoor retailers with prices starting at about $130 for small kits. They can be used to recharge cell phones or other electronic devices.
While power companies make restoring power a top priority following an emergency in order to facilitate relief efforts, Dougherty said Utahns caught in an earthquake or a large storm could be without electricity for a week or more.
Generators can be used to power larger appliances like a refrigerator if families are able to invest in them and take safety concerns into account, Dougherty said. A variety of generators are available, ranging from portable models to built-in units that can power a house.
"A generator is an engine," he said. "You want to think about where that generator lives and where you store the fuel."
Something as simple as a hand-crank radio with the ability to charge a cellphone could be an option for someone with fewer power needs, Dougherty said.

One of things we've tried to do from the beginning is to provide each speaker & volunteer with a good quality polo. Due to luck far more than skill, the shirt picked the first time worked out very well, so rather than be creative we're just sticking with what works. For those of you aren't familiar with how most community events work, the speakers and volunteers work for absolutely free, and often incur costs to travel to the event, plus email and preparation time prior to the event. We could give them $20 (which doesn't seem to impressive), or a nice polo (which perhaps again isn't impressive, but at least it's close to one of a kind, let's them show they've done a few things) - and of course a thank you, because anyone donating time to anything deserves a serious thank you.
It's a detail thing, but if you do one of these events it's not worth skimping on the shirt. An extra $2-3 dollars can make a lot of difference, and still be reasonably priced. We use a local shop here in Orlando for most of this work, and we get white Gildan 3700 polos with embroidered logo for less than $20 each. Working with a local vendor saves us shipping (for the Florid events anyway) and we get to save some money because it's the same logo each time, and they add the appropriate text underneath it to customize per event. Saves a $50+ digitizing charge each time. Also, there is no minimum quantity per order, another money saver. If you'd like to look at the shirt...I know, how exciting!....here's a link to it: http://www.gildanfinder.com/step4.cfm?id_product=37000&id_color=DB030.
For SQLSaturday #8 coming up in Orlando on October 25, 2008 we're going to try something new for us and also give each attendee a t-shirt. Won't know the final cost for a couple weeks, but it looks like a decent t-shirt with one color screen print on the back and our embroidered logo on the front will run about $10 each. That's a big budget item, $2000 or better, and we'll have to work hard in the next few weeks to close a minor but real budget shortfall to get it done. The challenge there is we have to commit to ordering the shirts before we know if we've have the budget! I'm reasonably confident we will, but it definitely helps that my fall back plan is the corporate Amex and we'll just call it a marketing expense.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara has named a new 29-member cabinet, putting his prime minister in charge of the finance ministry and keeping the same officials in key defense posts.
Ouattara dissolved the Cabinet last week after an apparent feud between his party and the PDCI, a member of his governing coalition. The party is led by former President Henri Konan Bedie, whose support was crucial in helping Ouattara win the November 2010 presidential election.
Ouattara's secretary-general read a decree Thursday announcing the Cabinet. It said the PDCI's Daniel Kablan Duncan, who was named prime minister Wednesday, will also serve as finance minister. Former finance minister Charles Koffi Diby will now be in charge of foreign affairs, while Paul Koffi Koffi and Hamed Bakoyoko will remain in charge of the defense and interior ministries, respectively.

The Madras high court has decided to personally monitor the steps taken by the Metrowater and Municipal Administration department to do away with the practice of manual cleaning of sewerage in the state.
The first bench comprising Chief Justice M Yusuf Eqbal and Justice TS Sivagnanam was passing orders on a contempt of court petition, which said the court-appointed special committee comprising senior officers and the petitioner was not taking the issue of manual cleaning of sewers seriously and that no concrete decisions had been taken by the committee.
The petition, filed by A Narayanan, referred to deaths of workers who got asphyxiated after entering into manholes in different parts of the city. Though the civic authorities contended that they had stopped the practice and had purchased machines for the purpose, several deaths were reported even after that, the petitioner said.
In September 2009, the court formed a special committee and asked it to suggest steps to improve the drainage system and maintain the overall environment clean in cities and villages. Though the committee was supposed to submit its report in two months, it got six more months to submit it.
As no meaningful progress was made by the committee, Narayanan filed the present contempt petition.
The bench, considering the seriousness of the issue, said henceforth it would monitor further course of action, and directed the committee to hold its meeting in the first week of August [2010] itself. A preliminary report as to the steps taken should also be filed, it said.
The judges then posted the matter to August 17 for further proceedings.

Each year during spring break, more than 100 Bucknell students choose to spend their week learning about cultures and societal issues in communities far from Bucknell, and serving those in need. Each alternative break experience is different, but all have something in common — they transform students' perspectives on the world, create strong bonds among students and connect students with communities in the U.S. and abroad.
Learn more about this year's trips.
BACES (Bucknell Advancing Communities by Educating & Serving), Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
"Aside from the work we do while we are there, this trip has a tremendous impact on the students who go. Students are challenged to move beyond their comfort zones, at which point they find things in themselves that they didn't know were there." -Tom Hackett, Class of 2014
Each spring for the past eight years, this student-run organization has traveled to the Dominican Republic. This year, the group handed out food in one of the most impoverished communities of Santo Domingo, assisted doctors and dentists as they administered basic medications and vaccinations and delivered medical donations as well as toys, clothes and books for children. Kristen Ronca '14 describes the BACES trip as an intense experience, the long lines of people highlighting the needs of the community being served.
Back on campus, BACES raises funds and awareness for its Educate-a-Child program. Contributions benefit students at a school sponsored by BACES' parent organization, ACES. The spring 2014 group visited the ACES school to interact with the children and assist with a construction project.
The Bucknell Brigade, Nueva Vida, Nicaragua
"[We] learned this trip was an opportunity to do more than just service, but learn about the Nicaraguan community, so we can educate others on campus and within our individual communities on the history and current situation in Nicaragua." -Brigade blog, March 2014
The Bucknell Brigade began in 1999 after Hurricane Mitch devastated Nicaragua. Twice a year — over the winter and spring breaks — the Brigade travels to Nueva Vida, a resettlement community outside the capital of Managua, Nicaragua. Over the years, Bucknell teams have helped to establish and maintain a free health clinic there.
On this most recent trip, students learned how the Jubilee House Community (JHC) has helped establish sustainable economic opportunities like a women's sewing cooperative, and how that connects with Nicaragua's history and future. The group also helped with maintenance at a sesame processing plant run by JHC, worked in the health clinic pharmacy and painted its roof to stop rainwater from seeping inside.

Destination Freedom: Civil Rights Alternative Spring Break, Atlanta, Ga., Birmingham, Selma and Montgomery, Ala., U.S.
"These students have made the most impact on me. The insights that they have gained from this trip are incredibly deep. I don't remember being this thoughtful, emotional and reflective when I was their age. And it's not just during the time set aside for reflection, it's any time that something strikes them, whether it's in the van, at dinner or just hanging out. It's really refreshing to overhear the serious conversations they have with each other." - Jeffery Campbell, Events & Technology Events Coordinator, staff participant
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the annual Civil Rights Alternative Spring Break, the spring 2014 group explored a new destination. While the past nine years have been spent in Memphis, Tenn., this year the students, faculty and staff traveled to Atlanta, Ga., and Birmingham, Montgomery and Selma, Ala.
The group learned about the history of the civil rights movement, visiting sites including Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King, Sr. and Jr. were both senior pastors, The King Center, the National Voting Rights Museum and the Civil Rights Memorial at the Southern Poverty Law Center. The students volunteered at the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama packing 900 meals for students who may not have access to food during weekends. In addition, they helped clean and organize at the Washington Park Community Center of Montgomery, which provides after school programs, tutoring, summer day camp and financial mentoring for parents, connecting the civil rights movement to the realities of present day.

Habitat for Humanity Alternative Spring Break Trip, Albermarle, N.C., U.S.
"Countless community members thanked us for our work and we are all incredibly grateful for their kindness. We had an amazing week showing this community the best that Bucknell can be." - Audrey Tolbert '15
Habitat for Humanity builds simple, affordable houses for people who need them around the world. Bucknell's chapter began in 1993 and works primarily with the Union/Snyder County and Harrisburg, Pa., affiliates, but during spring break, they travel to various locations to volunteer.
This year's group of 12 students and three faculty and staff traveled to Albemarle, N.C., to partner with Stanly County Habitat for Humanity. Each day, they worked for six hours on the job site and, during the course of the week, they helped construct two sheds and a deck, fix a porch, lay flooring and insulate an attic. They learned many practical skills and saw first-hand the impact they had on the community.

"We ended our day by listening to a first-hand story of a doctor who experienced Katrina in a local charity hospital. Some of the stories and pictures opened our eyes to the devastation and the humane gestures of the community." - Katrina Recovery Team March 2014 blog.
The Katrina Recovery Team has been going to the Gulf Coast region twice a year since 2006. Each trip includes a group of students, faculty and staff helping to rebuild after the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
The spring 2014 group spent the week working with the St. Bernard Project on jobs including sealing wood against mold, painting, digging holes and and working at Grow Dat Youth Farm — a community farm that provides employment for high school students across New Orleans. The group also explored New Orleans history and culture, hearing what it was like during Katrina from the perspective of a doctor at a charity hospital there and attending a ribbon-cutting for a family who have been waiting since Katrina to return to their home.
