UST graduates, be inspired by your distinguished co-alumni
By Joseph Cueto on June 6, 2015
From Kalibrr, congratulations to the 8,048 graduates of the class of 2015 of the University of Santo Tomas (UST)!
Now in its 404th year, UST is a private, Roman Catholic, teaching and research university run by the Order of Preachers in Manila. Founded on April 28, 1611 by Miguel de Benavides, Archbishop of Manila, it has the oldest extant university charter in the Philippines and in Asia, and is one of the world's largest Catholic universities in terms of enrollment. Trivia: UST is also the largest university in the city of Manila. UST is the only university to have been visited by three popes four times: once by Pope Paul VI on November 28, 1970, twice by Pope John Paul II on February 18, 1981 and January 13, 1995, and once by Pope Francis on January 18, 2015.
To celebrate their Solemn Investitures with them, here is a sampling of UST's renowned alumni. May they inspire the graduates to live out the Thomasian core values of competence, compassion, and commitment!

Dr. Wise has performed thousands of small incision, no stitch cataract extractions. Most patients undergo this procedure with anesthesia provided by medication applied to the surface of the eye. This is in contrast to older techniques requiring an injection behind the eye with potential for bleeding and other complications. Therefore, it is not necessary to discontinue life saving blood thinners including Coumadin, Plavix, and Aspirin prior to cataract surgery. Dr. Wise is an expert in new lens implant technology (including Acrysof RESTOR, and Acrysof Toric) which has the potential of eliminating or reducing one's dependence on glasses postoperatively for distance and near tasks. Dr.Wise is one of the first doctors in the area to employ the LenSx laser, the newest advancement in cataract surgery known as "bladeless" cataract surgery.A portion of the procedure previously performed by hand can now be facilitated with FEMTOSECOND LASER technology. Let Dr. Wise and his staff customize the best cataract surgical procedure for your individual needs.

The Rich History and Evolution of Treatment at Riggs
As part of our Winter Chat series provided for patients and staff, three long-time staff members Donna M. Elmendorf, Ph.D., Diane Heckman, R.N. and Cornelia Kalischer facilitated a fun and freewheeling trip through the 95-year history of the Austen Riggs Center, stopping at several milestones along the way and engaging the specific interests of the audience by utilizing a question and answer format.
Founder, Austen Fox Riggs, M.D. was originally an internist who took an interest in the mental hygiene movement of his time, which examined the relationship between the mind and body. Originally called The Stockbridge Institute for the Study and Treatment of the Psychoneuroses, the organization began as an outpatient clinic in 1913, eventually becoming incorporated as the Austen Riggs Foundation six years later in 1919. Dr. Riggs developed a set of "Ten Commandments" for healthy living that outlined the importance of attaining balance in work, play, rest and activity. While the relationship with the town of Stockbridge began as an uncertain one, Dr. Riggs' outreach and involvement in the town along with the positive patient presence led to a formal reconciliation from the town within a decade. To this day, the collegial relationship between Riggs and Stockbridge can be attributed to the patient community's active and positive role as citizens of the town and the town's open, respectful attitude.
Riggs has always maintained an "open setting," although the "living out" of that openness has evolved over time. In 1947, with the arrival of Robert Knight, M.D. from Menninger as the Medical Director, the focus of treatment at Riggs took a turn away from Dr. Riggs' original model and toward psychoanalysis. With a shift toward the open exploration of the psychoanalytic approach and treating a somewhat younger population, the staff recognized a need to integrate the freedom of the open setting with an expectation of responsibility. Out of this recognition came the development in the early 1950's of the therapeutic community with a system of patient self-governance with an aim toward establishing guidelines and expectations for the entire Riggs community.
The early 1950s also saw the arrival of Erik Erikson to Riggs, whose work establishing that individuals could not be understood apart from their psychosocial and historical contexts had an immediate and long-lasting impact on the work at Riggs. Erikson's wife Joan made her own contribution to Riggs by instituting a revolutionary Activities Program, which continues to thrive today.
The late 1960s to late 1970s, under the direction of Dr. Otto Will, there was a deepening interest in using psychoanalytic approaches with patients with psychotic disorders. Dr. Will was noted as someone who did whatever it took to reach a patient, even if it meant conducting sessions in their rooms at the Inn, a practice that no longer exists today.
In 1978, Daniel Schwartz, M.D. became Medical Director of Riggs. A former director of the Yale psychiatric hospital, Dr. Schwartz oversaw Riggs during a time in which managed care and biological psychiatry became increasingly popular. At the same time, hospitals with a focus on long-term psychotherapy, including Chestnut Lodge, McLean and Menninger changed their missions considerably. Riggs, however, steadfastly held to its belief in intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy.
As Medical Director from 1991 through the first decade of the new century, Edward Shapiro, M.D. sharpened the focus on psychodynamic systems theory, examining every element of Riggs as part of a larger system that contributes to the overall function or dysfunction of the organization. In addition, he oversaw a necessary and important increase of the social work element, creating greater connectivity between patients, their families and the community beyond Riggs. Today, every patient has a therapist, psychopharmacologist, nurse and a social worker guiding their care.
Riggs is home to a rich and fascinating history marked by great minds and great leaders. While much has changed over the last 95 years, what remains constant throughout the thread of time is the unwavering commitment to patients. The pillars of care that extend throughout our care include patient authority and responsibility, the importance of relationships and the discovery of meaning.
Thank you to Dr. Elmendorf, Diane Heckman and Cornelia Kalischer for hosting such an informative and engaging event.

The Italian team is open about its policy of hiring a clearly superior top driver - presently Fernando Alonso - alongside a capable No.2 such as Felipe Massa.NUMBER ONE GETS BESTThis policy was highlighted in Austin, Texas, in November 2012 month when Ferrari deliberately incurred a gearbox penalty on Brazilian Massa's car in order to give Alonso a better grid position.Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo said: "If the others don't like it, we don't care. Others are critical but do the same, although less transparently."Domenicali said: "Why does Webber have so many failures on his car? Because the best parts go to the driver getting the better results - this is normal and it seems so logical that we never say anything. We don't like to speak of the others but the others like to talk about us."Meanwhile, Domenicali admitted Ferrari was looking forward to the next season, even though Red Bull and McLaren had superior cars throughout 2012 even if the rules are not changing much in 2013.Ferrari, however, thinks the banning of DRS during Saturday practice and qualifying will be a "major change".

Spring Fever (1927)
Friday August, 31 2018 at 06:00 AM
Films in BOLD will Air on TCM * | VIEW TCMDb ENTRY
Jack Kelly (William Haines) is a golf-obsessed shipping clerk who has helped his boss Mr. Waters (George Fawcett) improve his own golf game. As a reward, his boss grants Jack a two-week stint in paradise: the Oakmont Country Club, where he can hobnob with the wealthy.
Jack initially offends the upper-crusts with his clunky manners. But his golf skills (in real life, Haines hated golf) soon win them over, especially the rich beauty Allie Monte (Joan Crawford). Passing as Mr. Waters' nephew, Jack falls hard for the high life, and when his tenure is up finds it hard to consider returning to his humble origins. Jack therefore vows he will marry for money and insure his place among his new wealthy friends.
Spring Fever (1927) was Joan Crawford's second pairing with William Haines (they had previously appeared in Sally, Irene and Mary in 1925). She would appear soon after with Haines in West Point (1928), filmed on location at the military academy in upstate New York. Crawford was said to scandalize the production of that film when she refused to wear stockings (and according to some reports, a bra) and enjoyed a dalliance with at least one cadet, who was expelled for skipping class to romance the seductive movie star.
Crawford said of her many appearances alongside Haines, "I was strictly secondary." While Crawford's star was rising, Haines was one of the top male movie stars and a major box-office draw during the silent era. According to author Lawrence J. Quirk, Crawford "knew that she was only window-dressing in his movies." Crawford and Haines nevertheless enjoyed a lifelong friendship.
Author Elinor Glyn coined the term "It" to describe the sexual magnetism certain stars possessed. And in a 1927 issue of Photoplay she made her picks of the movie stars who had "It." The stars who possessed the elusive quality of "It" included Clara Bow, John Gilbert, Greta Garbo, Pola Negri, Douglas Fairbanks and Gary Cooper, among others. Haines, however, was one of the stars singled out for not having "It." William J. Mann, author of Wisecracker: The Life and Times of William Haines, Hollywood's First Openly Gay Star attributed that to Glyn's unfavorable view of Haines' homosexuality.
When a distraught Louis B. Mayer tried to get Haines to marry or find a girlfriend to reverse the dreaded lack of "It," Haines countered Mayer's claim that he lacked sex appeal. According to author William J. Mann, Haines told Mayer, "You're quite wrong. Before I came out here, I was kept by the best men and women of New York City. I appeal to both sexes!" "He never quite forgave me for that," conceded Haines.
Ultimately, Haines refused to give in to Mayer's pressure to enter into a sham marriage, and instead enjoyed a 50-year relationship with his lover Jimmie Shields. When he left MGM, Haines and Shields transitioned into successful careers as interior designers and antiques dealers. Crawford called them "the happiest married couple in Hollywood."
And even failure to secure "It" did not impede Haines. His turn in Spring Fever was a great success despite some critical misgivings about the film itself. Variety noted "Haines is a likable personality and should travel far. This picture, however, will not help him much. The players do well all around and Ralph Spence's titles contribute effectively on the comedy end, but the director, Sedgwick, could not cope with a weak theme."
Director: Edward Sedgwick
Screenplay: Frank Davis, Albert Lewin; Ralph Spence (titles); Vincent Lawrence (play)
Cinematography: Ira Morgan
Film Editing: Frank Sullivan
Cast: William Haines (Jack Kelly), Joan Crawford (Allie Monte), George K. Arthur (Eustace Tewksbury), George Fawcett (Mr. Waters), Eileen Percy (Martha Lomsdom), Edward Earle (Johnson), Bert Woodruff (Pop Kelly), Lee Moran (Oscar).

Strange question, right? You should know you applications and databases and how everything works, right?
Happen that some days ago a client requested me to identify from which database is a service_name. Easy? Not if the server have 46 database instances running…
Ok, now how can I can this information as quick as possible?
I know that the command below give me all distinct databases in CRS:
/u01/app/126.96.36.199/grid/bin/crsctl stat res -t -w "TYPE = ora.database.type"
Now, lets make some sed magic:

An Altamonte Springs man was hospitalized in serious condition Wednesday after his car slammed into a utility pole in Longwood, then rolled over, pinning his head to a sidewalk.
Joseph Alfred Bryan, 26, 1613 Lakeside North, was driving on County Road 427 in front of Milwee Middle School about 2 a.m. Wednesday when his car struck the wooden pole. As his car rolled onto its side, Bryan slid partially out through a window and his head was caught under the car, said Lt. Ken Gaines of the Longwood Fire Department.
He was freed by Longwood firefighters and paramedics and airlifted to the trauma center at Orlando Regional Medical Center. Bryan was reported to be in serious condition later Wednesday in the intensive care unit.

Last week I had the great pleasure of spending a morning with the 2014 Fellows in order to explore the impact of authenticity on workplaces. It was a very lively and engaged session and the Fellows made me work hard with insightful questions and debate, which was just what I was hoping for.
You may be thinking that authenticity is a rather random subject on which to spend a morning. It is seldom thought of as a major driver of organisational performance. We do not usually think of it as a source of innovation, or productivity, or even an adaptive mechanism. In fact, we may not think of authenticity at all. But I'd like to suggest that over the coming years it will be understood as a major variable that separates successful from failing organisations, happy from disengaged workforces, and adaptive from inflexible organisations.

Six months of hard work and planning was all worth it. Sinem, Stuart, Narin and I sat exhausted in the pub at the end of a fantastic day of designing, discussing and playing games for social change, with a wonderful group of social leaders.
The 'inaugaral" leadership games took place at an iconic site – Gilwell Park, home of the scout movement, and home to games and play as a source of personal development for nearly 100 years.

The Charity SORP is a Statement of Recommended Practice which sets out how charities should prepare their annual accounts and report on their finances.
The SORP is an interpretation of the financial reporting standards and generally accepted accounting practice in the UK. Because these have changed, the SORP has to be updated. The introduction of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) has been a radical departure as this brings together a whole series of piecemeal standards and guidelines on general accounting into a single standard. FRS 102 also includes specific sections on public benefit entities.

I work as Head of Research Innovation at Breast Cancer Campaign. When we get an exciting project opportunity that fits with our general strategy in the months before the year end, in the middle of the business planning period, then we are brilliant at grasping the nettle and making it happen. However, if that very same project had developed in the weeks and months after our trustees had approved our plans and budgets then we would struggle to know what to with it.
This issue was bouncing around my head when I arrived at the recently held, and very timely, Clore Social business capability workshops focusing around strategic financial management.

So I'm sitting in the back garden. It's a summer day and I am eight. Playing out my favourite game. I'm super girl, with my knickers tucked into my vest - super hero style. My special power is changing the future. I can stop the bad things from happening twenty years from now and make sure the good things happen.
Is looking at what happens in the future just a day dream for kids? I don't think so.

Just like every other business sector, the charity sector has suffered in recent years. A decline in funding and donations has meant charities have needed to become more commercially savvy and seek innovative ways to raise funds, which also means that financial leadership is a vital part of the leadership mix.
Charity finance leaders today must provide a support service for the entire organisation to ensure people get the information they need to fulfil their roles and the needs of beneficiaries.

My friend and fellow 2014 Clore Social Fellow Eugenie Teasley yesterday organised some listening training based on the experiences of, and delivered by, hostage negotiator Richard 'Dick' Mullender.
I knew I'd be arriving late, coming from Cornwall, I also knew this guy was big in CID and worked with the FBI, UN etc. My mind wandered as I went from train to tube at Paddington. Can you get arrested for being late? Are they watching me?

Being a leader is a tough gig. You work long hours because you feel responsible for the livelihoods of those who depend upon your organisation. You might even make significant personal sacrifices that you hope you won't regret later. You are aware of the long shadow you cast for your employees and this makes you act more self-consciously. You worry that you don't have all of the answers or that something important is eluding you and may impact in the future. You may even feel like they made a mistake when they hired you and you are the only one who knows the grisly truth (it's called Imposter Complex and be reassured that it is much more common than you think). All of this is happening internally, but there are external challenges too.

I had the pleasure of speaking at a Clore Social Programme information Day in March this year. My immediate reaction was "Really? ME?? I hate public speaking. What would I even say??"
And then I stopped listening to my internal critic and started to reflect on my experience as a full time Clore Social Fellow and what I could share to encourage others to apply for the Fellowship. So here are some key reflections on why I applied, the impact it has had on me and why I encourage you to take the plunge.

I have just read about the extraordinary events surrounding technology company Mozilla's CEO Brendan Eich. It seems that around six years ago, Eich gave his support to an anti-gay marriage bill. Mozilla is a company with a very strong commitment to equality and when Eich's past actions came to the attention of his employees they were dismayed by the incompatibility of the views of their CEO and the ethical position of their company. Many employees expressed their views, particularly on social media forums, and eventually Eich stepped down.
I was struck by how this chain of events leading to the resignation of a CEO was an example of the death of deference in action.

The Real Deal
This is why Jesus gave the apostles authority on earth: to write the authorized answers to important questions and objections - the best apologetics to defend the Gospel.
Consider that, as Dr. Missler points out, our Lord Jesus is defended entirely from the Old Testament for those who would have been intimately familiar with it. God's word is as alive and relevant today as it was then.
This commentary is a must for those who want answers from God's own answer book!

Now that Rakudo Star is out, and people are able to easily install and work with an early implementation of Perl 6, the pundits and cranks have to put aside their tired Duke Nukem jokes and talk about how different Perl 6 is from Perl 5. They gripe that everything is different and scary, "it shouldn't be called Perl any more." I'm tired of it, and it makes no sense.
I bet none of those cranks remember Perl 4 and the shift to Perl 5.
* Perl 4 didn't have lexical (my) variables
* and there were no scalar filehandles
* and you couldn't pass filehandles as parameters to functions except with typeglobs
* and the package separator was ', not ::
* and really nobody used packages anyway
* and there was no object support whatsoever
* and that meant no modules to speak of
* and you couldn't pass around regexes as scalars (qr// operator)
* and on and on.
Even with all those differences, we survived. In fact, we thrived.
The Pink Camel, first edition of *Programming Perl*, covering Perl 4, was only 450 small pages long, and a third of that was a section called "Real Perl Programs." (Imagine! Actual programs!) The Blue Camel, the 2nd edition, covering Perl 5, was over 600 bigger pages.
You know what I thought when I got my copy of the Blue Camel? It wasn't "Boy, this sure isn't Perl any more." No, I thought **"Holy shit, look at all the stuff I can do."** I couldn't even read the book straight through, because I kept skipping around, my mind amazed at the possibilities in front of me.
There are those who will read this and say "Yeah, but Perl 5 could still pretty much run any Perl 4 program, but Perl 6 won't be able to run Perl 5." And that's true. And it's irrelevant.
Perl 6 is still Perl, and is still called Perl, for many reasons, but only one that matters.
**Larry Wall says that Perl 6 is still Perl.**
Larry has his reasons. Some he's mentioned in [past State of the Onion addresses](http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?state_of_the_onion). Maybe you don't agree with his reasons, or his decisions. But it doesn't matter one damn bit what you think. It's his decision. All arguments are a waste of time and brain cycles.
So when someone says "Perl 6 should have been named something else," I suggest a response of "OK, whatever you say. Now, isn't it cool that you can use list reduction to say my $sum = [+] @list;?"
With greatest respect to everyone who's worked on Perl 6 for the last ten years, it's not the cranks' fault that the references to Duke Nukem forever are "tired"…

"The nanotechnology initiative was announced in Russia in 2007 and it envisions financing in two directions: research in the sphere of nanotechnology, coordinated by the Kurchatov institute; and commercialization of nanotechnology projects, which the Rosnanotech corporation is responsible for," Leonid Melamed said.
He added that another $1 billion was to be spent outfitting scientific labs with modern equipment, and that the corporation's total budget was about $5.5 billion.
Clayton Teague, who heads the U.S. National Nanotechnology Coordination Office, earlier said at a meeting with the management of Rosnanotech in Washington that each year the United States allocated an average of $1.5 billion in federal funds to nanotech projects.

If you're a writer, chances are that you have come across an instructional course or book encouraging you to write deep characters. By deep, I mean the ones that are beyond one-dimension, those with layers of complex emotion, desires, and personal history.
But just how do you go about doing that?
That question plagued me in many of my projects during the early years of my writing. Time and time again, I would find myself resorting to the same stereotypes of villains and heroes, with the former being motivated by evil while the latter were nothing but good. Such constructs made me feel empty, as my writing never seemed complete. I knew that just adding twists and ramping up their backstories wasn't enough. Such enhancements merely masked the shallow characters I had created.
Then one day, when contemplating a battle scene, I found myself asking what I would do if I were a soldier. The soldier in question was a good guy, so my initial response was simple: I would do the right thing.
I followed up my first question with another: What would I really do?
I considered the possibilities. If I were a novice, the prospect of fighting would terrify me. My palms would become clammy. Sweat would dot my brow. My ears would perk at every sound.
I asked myself a third question: What would I do that I would want no one to know about?
I might allow the braver men in my company to rush ahead. I might turn coward and run once the opportunity arose. I might defecate myself in the process.
The idea that my hero was less than chivalrous challenged me. The idea that if I were in his shoes and acted in such a manner left me . . . well, quite frankly, embarrassed.
It was my first lesson in self-identity as a writer that stuck with me from draft to draft. For too long, I had been instructed and coached that my writing had to be perfected in order to garner serious attention. That sensibility had permeated my approach to creating characters over the years, with those I imagined being perfect in every way – in their motivation, actions, and overall existence.
However, that embarrassing AHA moment of mine had turned all those tendencies on their heads. From then on, I began to tweak my characters, building them to reflect not the constructed realities I had conjured up from nothing, but rather to display the reality I lived with every day.
In reading this post, such a realization may sound simple, perhaps even latent for an aspiring writer. I assure you, though, it is not. In all the writing groups I have been a part of, wooden dialogue and stale characters persist, both from the pens of new authors and seasoned veterans. When creating characters, so many of my writer friends get caught up in what their characters ought to be, thereby ignoring their true essence. Writing – or reading – a well-crafted character should come off less like a work of fiction and more like a biography. Or dare I say, an autobiography. That's right, a work of non-fiction that is gritty and brutally honest. One that makes you want to cringe and yet keeps you turning the pages.
How is such a feat accomplished? A professor once told me that writers imprint a piece of themselves in all their characters, be it protagonists or antagonists, allies or enemies. If that holds true for your own writing, then it begs the question: How well do you know yourself? And that begs so many other questions: What would you do in a battle? On a first date? On a job interview? Before a king? With a stolen treasure?
And with those questions, I would add another to follow all of them: What would you really do?
Author Joshua Rutherford has wanted to be a writer all his life. Through college and the more than dozen jobs that he has had, his passion for the written word has never ceased. After crafting several feature film screenplays and television pilots that were never produced, Joshua tried his hand at writing a novel. Sons of Chenia is the product of that effort. When Joshua is not writing – which isn't often – he is spending quality time with his young family, who currently reside in San Diego, CA.

Some romantic proposal ideas include proposing at the same place a coupled shared their first date, hanging the ring on a Christmas tree or other holiday decoration, placing the ring inside of several larger boxes. Creating a path to the proposal also offers a unique opportunity to slip in a marriage proposal.Continue Reading
A first date spot can be a significant and highly nostalgic place. So revisiting this location allows reminiscing, which can provides opportunity to pop the question.
The holidays are an ideal time for marriage proposals, and the Christmas tree can make a memorable proposal prop. Proposing partners can try hanging the ring box on the tree like an ornament and then surprising their lovers after all the other presents have been opened.
Placing the ring box inside a series of larger boxes, similar to a Russian nesting doll, is a memorable way to present the ring. Once the recipient reaches the final box, the proposing partner can get down on one knee.
Making partners follow a path to the engagement proposal is another creative method to pop the question. Whether it's a trail of flowers to the bedroom or a series of sticky notes leading a lover around the house, the extra effort can make the proposal memorable.Learn more about Health

Quick Reference
The Federal Assembly became Russia's parliament with the adoption of a new constitution and elections in December 1993. It was constituted in the shadow of the dissolution and shelling of its predecessor, the Russian Congress of People's Deputies, by president Yeltsin in October 1993. The Federal Assembly is a bicameral parliament, composed of State Duma (the lower house) and Federation Council (the upper house). The first Duma served for a transitional term of two years. Since December 1995, Duma deputies have been elected to four‐year terms.
The State Duma has 450 seats. Up to 2007 members of the lower house were elected through a mixed electoral system: 225 deputies were chosen by proportional representation from national party lists, subject to a 5 per cent threshold, and the remaining 225 deputies were elected through plurality elections in single member districts. President Vladimir Putin reformed the electoral system and the December 2007 Duma elections were held under a closed‐list proportional representation system. Now all 450 deputies are elected from party lists in a single national electoral district. Parties must receive at least 7 per cent of the vote in order to gain seats, and seats are distributed in proportion to the vote‐share won by parties. Votes for parties that do not cross the 7 per cent threshold are redistributed to benefit those parties which achieve Duma representation.
The Duma is Russia's principal legislative institution. Although the legislative process requires the Duma to cooperate with up to three other actors—the Federation Council, the president, and, in specified areas of economic legislation, the government too—no bill can become law without the Duma's endorsement. Moreover, the Duma has the power to approve or reject the president's choice of prime minister and can vote no confidence in the government.
Politically, the Duma's composition has changed markedly since 1993. The lower house was politically fragmented and worked without a governing majority throughout the 1990s. It was also largely hostile to President Boris Yeltsin, particularly after the December 1995 elections. Following his election in 2000, President Putin undertook a series of reforms to build a pro‐presidential parliamentary majority. Changes to the Duma's electoral rules, the law on parties, and also electoral manipulation, especially in the 2003 and 2007 parliamentary elections, led to the increasing dominance of the pro‐presidential United Russia party in the lower house. In the elections of 2007 United Russia won over 64 per cent of the vote, a result which, together with the redistribution of votes won by parties that did not cross the 7 per cent threshold, put it in control of 70 per cent of the Duma seats.
The upper house, the Federation Council, is composed of two representatives from each of the subjects of the Russian Federation, irrespective of federal status or population size. The Russian Constitution of 1993 does not specify how the upper house is to be composed and, after a transitional period in which Council members were elected, the Council was from 1995 composed ex officio of the heads of each federation subject's executive and legislative branch. As a consequence, the Federation Council became a part‐time chamber, which gave regional officials a powerful voice in national politics. President Putin (elected in 2000) reformed the upper house. Senators can no longer be regional officials serving in an ex officio capacity but are now delegates, one elected by the regional legislature, the other nominated by the regional governor subject to confimation by the legislature. This reform reduced the direct voice of regional leaders in national politics. In addition, President Putin combined the reform of the upper house with federal reforms, which transformed governors, who used to be popularly elected, into presidential appointees. These changes have enhanced the president's ablity to control the political composition of the upper house through his gubernatorial appointees.

Revisiting Madoff and His Stakeholders – Is Trustee Picard Pursuing Hadassah and Other Charities as Candidates for "Clawback"? – Installment 32August 2, 2010 – Articles White Collar Defense & Compliance Blog
This is the thirty-second in a series of installments on this blog that have focused substantially on issues of charities arising in the aftermath of the long global Ponzi scheme of Bernard L. Madoff ("Madoff") and others. All potential stakeholders should consult professional advisors to have their positions evaluated.
Installments 14 and 16 of this series, among others, discussed Hadassah and its relationships with Madoff, as well as to how the organization has chosen to disclose publicly its involvement and investments with Madoff. Defined terms and links not otherwise contained herein are included in such Installments. Readers are encouraged to consult the earlier blog posts as a background for this Installment.
In particular, Installment 16, posted in September 2009, discussed the fact that it is alleged that Hadassah had received $40 million more in distributions from Madoff than it had invested with him. Additionally, an article by Diana B. Henriques in The New York Times was quoted in Installment 16 as having said, "[t]here is the widespread fear among some — unfounded, Mr. [Irving] Picard [the trustee in the Madoff bankruptcy proceeding] says — that he will sue struggling charities or people of limited means for money they withdrew in the past but no longer have."
On July 26, 2010, Michael Rothfeld reported in The Wall Street Journal that Mr. Picard is preparing new lawsuits against approximately 1,000 individuals to claw back funds from investors with Madoff who received more in principal distributions than they had invested with him. According to the article, Mr. Picard is trying to commence such lawsuits in advance of the expiration of the two-year statute of limitations in December 2010.
Mr. Rothfeld states in his article that Mr. Picard is suing several types of Madoff investors, including "15 civil suits seeking more than $15 billion on a combined basis from Mr. Madoff's brother and sons, investment funds that fed money to the [Madoff] firm, wealthy investors close to Mr. Madoff who redeemed large amounts of cash, and other defendants."
No mention is made in the article as to whether the "wealthy investors close to Mr. Madoff who redeemed large amounts of cash and other defendants" may or will include Hadassah or other charities that have been alleged to have received more in distributions from Madoff than the dollars they had invested with him. Again, as observed in Installment 16, the criteria that Mr. Picard will use to separate those from whom he will seek clawback and those "struggling" charities and "people of limited means" from whom he will not raise fundamental questions of fairness, size and relative value that will likely lead to much more controversy and potential litigation.

About For the Love of Art
For the Love of Art owner Carri Miles grew up in different parts of the country, but discovered her love of art early on—winning contests and showing pieces in galleries as early as middle school. Once landing in Charleston, she decided to share her passion with the world. She bought a charming, red-trimmed house and transformed it into a studio open to the public.

Preparing diverse student populations for lives of enlightened faith, exemplary service, inspired leadership, and personal significance—that is the vision of Ottawa University. Why? Because the administration and faculty at Ottawa University know that education doesn't happen in a vacuum. Instead, students must learn to grow, care for, and balance all aspects of their lives (spiritual, professional, financial, relational, physical, etc.) in order to "prepare for a life of significance" that is both personally fulfilling and outwardly impactful. That's why every student who enrolls at Ottawa University generates a "LifePlan" during their academic tenure to help guide them as they enter life beyond college.
The University's vision grew directly from its mission: to provide the highest quality liberal arts and professional education in a caring, Christ-centered community of grace, which integrates faith, learning, and life. The University serves students of traditional age, adult learners, and organizations through undergraduate and graduate programs.
Ottawa University is student-centered, value-priced, and technology-enabled. From its founding in 1865 in Ottawa, Kansas, Ottawa University has grown to an institution that serves approximately 5,000 students through a residential campus in Ottawa, a new residential campus in Surprise, Arizona, burgeoning online programs, and adult and professional studies campuses in Phoenix, Milwaukee, Kansas City, and the Louisville/Jeffersonville areas.

"How am I going to use this in the real world?" Ottawa University faculty delight in answering this common question and usually do so with long lists of opportunities that allow and require students to put their newfound skills to work.
In recent years, Ottawa students have been able to experience incredible opportunities across the globe. Through missional and charitable work, Ottawa University students are leaving their mark on the world.
When a F5 tornado destroyed the town of Greensburg, Kansas, Ottawa University students were on-hand to assist with recovery and rebuilding efforts. Students have traveled to Israel, Kenya, Australia, and the Amazon for cross-disciplinary trips. They have performed in Carnegie Hall, participated in national forensics tournaments and traveled to the Sundance Film Festival to work as movie critics.
Ottawa University students organize and host the Kansas Kids Fitness Day each year for more than 300 third graders. They have assisted with the Ottawa Tribe oral history project by conducting and transcribing interviews with senior tribe members, and they give of their own time and talents to conduct Braving Discipleship, a weekend spiritual retreat held on campus for area high school students.
Prepared for the Future
Every student at Ottawa University completes a Senior Core capstone course that requires team-based research on social issues. Together, they develop possible solutions to address their topics and take action to raise awareness. At Ottawa University, students are provided every opportunity to make an impact on the world.
From embracing spiritual values to executing business practices, students are pushed to explore, research, and evaluate questions for themselves, arriving at answers rather than spoon-feeding long lists of facts and information. At Ottawa University, mastery is as much about the discovery of knowledge as it is the knowledge itself.
Top-Level, Easily Accessible Faculty
With a faculty–student ratio of 1:18, personal engagement, direction, and collaboration define Ottawa's professor/student relationship. Teachers know their students by name (most of the staff do, too!), and each individual gets the personal attention needed to succeed. Through a wide range of service learning projects and experiential learning opportunities, students can also engage directly in their education by completing dynamic projects that are particularly meaningful to them.
A meaningful career begins at Ottawa University
With more than 30 majors offered across three schools (Arts and Sciences, Education, and Business), students can select from a wide range of majors and concentrations that prepare them for meaningful careers or graduate programs.
Brand new, state-of-the-art facilities
To augment the teaching and learning experience at Ottawa University, a new library and student center recently opened on the Ottawa campus. Through the student center, students can broaden their academic exposure by speaking to top OU professors from across the country. To enhance the educational experience, other facilities and equipment are regularly upgraded, such as the state-of-the-art Wenger music practice studios. Ottawa University is the only school in northeast Kansas to offer facilities of this caliber.
Beyond the Classroom
In today's global society, students often hear, "The world is your classroom." At Ottawa University, that means traveling abroad, working with inner-city children, exploring the business practices of Indonesia, and gaining insight from their fellow classmates' diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Other times, it means that the world is brought to the students through arts and cultural events, speakers, conferences, workshops, or weekly exploration sessions. Ottawa University believes that, by exposing themselves to a broad base of ideas, experiences, and people, students learn to achieve a better understanding of who they want to become.
Diverse Speakers
Some of the esteemed speakers who have come to inspire Ottawa University students have been:
- Steven Hawley, NASA astronaut
- Albert Brinson, friend and colleague of Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Viktor Yushchenko, former President of Ukraine
- James Gwartney, celebrated economist and author
- George McGovern, state senator and presidential candidate
Annual Conferences/Events
There is always something for students to do. Ottawa University holds a variety of events every year, including:
- Pastors and Laity Conference
- Angell Snyder School of Business Symposium
- Annual Baseball in Literature and Culture Conference
- Adventures in Faith
Cultural Events
The cultural atmosphere at OU is thriving, and students regularly participate in such events as:
- Jazz, chorale, band, and orchestral concerts
- Interpretive dance performances
- Art exhibits
- Documentary viewing and talk-back sessions
- Etiquette dinners
- Forensics and debate tournaments
Volunteer Opportunities
Service is a cornerstone of student life at Ottawa. Opportunities for life-changing service include but are not limited to:
- Kansas Kids Fitness Day
- Habitat for Humanity
- Inner-city Mentoring Program
- Big Brothers/Big Sisters
- Christmas Toy Drive
Adawe (Say What?)
In 2008, Ottawa University established the Adawe LifePlan Center to serve as the epicenter for academic advising, counseling, and career services. Adawe (pronounced "a-dah-way") is an Ottawa word that means "to trade." Within the LifePlan Center, advisors facilitate educational exchanges and bring together a range of resources for collaborative mentoring. Tutoring services, experiential learning opportunities, workshops, personal counseling, spiritual exploration, academic advising, and career services are all available to students through the Adawe Center.
The Center is also where students meet with personal success coaches and embark on their four-year process for developing life plans that encompasses four key areas: self awareness, personal values, life-long practices, and career competencies. This unique concept is one way Ottawa University delivers its promise to help students "prepare for a life of significance." So, when they cross the stage at graduation, students walk away with much more than a diploma. They also take with them a life- plan narrative, a career action plan, a working portfolio, a variety of career options, and a map for leaving an OU legacy.
The Adawe LifePlan Center is such a game-changer for many students because because it lets students know that someone has their back—someone who will help them navigate through college and beyond. It is also setting OU apart by assuring parents that the University is looking out for their students, both academically and personally.

This rigorous competition is only open to students who have achieved a composite ACT score of 25 or greater, earned a minimum high school GPA of 3.5, and have been accepted to Ottawa University in Ottawa, Kansas.
Through the "Top Scholars Competition," awards are presented to an elite group of students that promise to add significant value to the University's academic, cultural, and civic environment.

2015 Recap - Performances
2015 was filled with great acting performances from both festival films and mainstream releases so it was pretty difficult to narrow it down to what I considered to be the most entertaining out of the bunch. The crowd was filled with recognizable leading men and it was also nice to see so many strong roles for women, it looks like more and more are coming over the next several years. For now, let's take a look at my list of the most entertaining acting performances of 2015.

text: Snoop Dogg under fire for "creepy" workplace comments Two female CBC employees are at the centre of the latest sexism in the workplace scandal after Snoop Dogg made a string of inappropriate comments on screen. The 43-year-old music mogul was on-set in Truro, Nova Scotia, filming for the 10th season of the Trailer Park Boys when reporter Elizabeth McMillan asked how the hospitality had been. "The hospitality has been awesome, baby," he replied. "I like your camera girl, too. She's thick. Damn." Without a moment's hesitation, he continues; "I wasn't even looking down. Now I'm forced to look down at the camera. Look at there, look at there. Look at the shit on that critter." Off-screen, an eruption of male laughter is heard while reporter McMillan stammers to respond. "Creepy and awkward" Videographer Stephanie Clattenburg – the woman on the receiving end of Snoop Dogg's comments – says she feels the rapper deliberately tried to humiliate her. "There was a bit of a power-play there," she said. "I think he wanted to embarrass me and he did – I turned beet red." Comments Clattenburg made after the incident draw attention to the behaviour many women are forced to tolerate in order to get their jobs done. "What was I going to do? Put the camera down?" she asks. "If I put the camera down every time someone said something misogynistic about a woman, I wouldn't have a lot of footage." "There are sexism comments made to me – because I am in a more male-dominated role – pretty much every day that I work," she continues. Corporate connotations While Snoop Dogg is far from your average CEO, the exchange highlights how many women feel powerless standing up to a senior member of staff when sexism comments are made. "My reporter and I are two women, two young women, physically smaller – he's a celebrity, he's physically taller, he's a man," said Clattenburg.

Also, our own Minerva Volunteer Fire Department & Rescue Squad should be thanked for their help. Pottersville firemen who helped were Delvin Wheeler, Chief Pumper, and Doug Howe, fireman.
