Todays Leaders Inspire Tomorrows
On the heels — high heels — of this year's historic campaigns by women for America's two top jobs, a select group of more than 350 participants gathered Nov. 14 at the fourth annual CUNY/New York Times Knowledge Network Women's Leadership Conference for tips on achieving their own ambitious goals.
The young student leaders may not be quite ready for White House runs. But their thought-provoking questions and ideas showed that they — as much as the female legislators, business executives and educators on the dais — exemplify the conference topic: Advocates for Change.
Five official student bloggers — all members of the 2008-2009 CUNY Women's Public Service Internship Program — continually posted their observations throughout the seven-hour conclave at New York's Roosevelt Hotel (to read their full reports, go to www.cuny.edu/womensleadership).
Bursts of applause were frequent from the conference-goers, most of whom were women. They cheered mothers who juggle family responsibilities, jobs and college courses they hope will help them break the infamous glass ceiling. They cheered the University, their colleges, their professors, each other. And they cheered two major new role models: President-elect Barack Obama and his early challenger, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton — who they'd just learned was being considered for Secretary of State.
Obama's win has been a "sea change," Chancellor Matthew Goldstein told the group, noting that "in 1964 there were black people who couldn't vote in this country." Now, he said, "Anything is possible. All that's needed is a willingness to work hard, learn from the mistakes of others and have the forcefulness of purpose to say, 'Yes I can.'"
"The reason we're here today is to celebrate what we can do, and what we have done," said Trustee Valerie Lancaster Beal, leading up to Senior Vice Chancellor for University Relations Jay Hershenson heralding women's initiatives and later presenting awards to Kim Jasmin of JPMorgan Chase and Brenda Griebert of TIAA-CREF, the conference co-sponsors.
An inspiring keynote speech by New York Secretary of State Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez, the first woman to hold that office, had students lining up to speak with her afterward.
Statistics — and experiences — shared during the conference indicate that women are still under-represented in leadership positions despite having more education than men. They are more likely to earn the minimum wage or less, often have to work twice as hard as men in the same jobs, and are held to different standards. The U.S. ranks 27th in the world for women as top executives — after such countries as Argentina, Cuba and South Africa, reported Vice Chancellor for Human Resources Management Gloriana Waters.
Many people believe the fact that wives do most of the domestic work in the home has a lot to do with "why women take less demanding jobs, jobs that don't involve leadership," said Interim Executive Vice Chancellor and University Provost Alexandra Logue.
But there are signs of progress: Current thinking, e.g., that feminine traits, such as consulting widely before making a decision, are indicative of good leaders, Logue said.
"Leadership is hard for everybody, but we're put in a box — you saw it in Clinton's campaign," said luncheon keynoter Carla A. Robbins, deputy editorial page editor of The New York Times. "It's going to be better for you," she assured young women in the audience. As for now, "You can have it all, but you're not going to sleep very well."
Young idealists often haven't yet climbed high enough to hit the glass ceiling. But blogger Catherine Zinnel, a Macaulay Honors College senior and political science major at Hunter College, wrote that, while interning in state and city government jobs, she learned of "the double standards that are unfairly imposed on female leaders, from appearance to family responsibilities."
Other bloggers reflected on the conference's government panels:
"I was frustrated to see that if everything was so clear — we lack the money, we need the money, we need to do A, B, and C to see change happen — then why was it not happening? … Why are all these policymakers so clearly willing and dedicated to reform, still not seeing these reforms happen? I suppose it takes years of patience and perseverance, and activism on the part of the legislator's constituency, to really get things done. I suppose, to echo this morning's testament, we need to put more women on it." — Macaulay Honors College senior Nastasiya Korolkova, an international relations major at Baruch College.
"Currently, about one-third of all City Council members are females. In contrast, in the CUNY Model City Council Project, in which high school students learn about NYC government and legislation … females make up two-thirds of all participants. Could we hope to see a greater female representation in our legislature in the near future? — Megumi Saito, a senior pre-law major at City College.
Elected officials discussing their views during panels on advocating for change in government were New York State Sen. Ruth Hassell-Thompson; Assemblywomen Barbara Clark, Deborah Glick and Annette Robinson; New York City Councilwomen Gale Brewer, Melissa Mark-Viverito, Rosie Mendez and Diana Reyna. The conference was chaired by LaGuardia Community College President Gail Mellow, with panels moderated by other women college presidents; it was coordinated by Pat Gray, the University's director of special events and corporate relations. Closing remarks were by Ann Kirschner, dean of Macaulay Honors College.
Speaking on a panel about Justice for Women and Children in the Family were New York Family Court Judge Bryanne Hamill, CUNY School of Law Interim Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Angela Burton and professor Donna Hae Kyun Lee of the Battered Women's Rights Clinic at the CUNY Law School.
What traits mark a good leader?
Some tips from keynoter Cortes-Vazquez:
- Be bold and courageous, which is not reckless, but fully conscious of consequences.
- Never forget the shoulders you stand on and the responsibility you have.
- Arm yourself with information so you can combat the misinformation.
- You have to be your word.
- If you need to step back because you get tired, transfer the power to someone else.
Waters adds: "Watch how people who have power use it. Pay attention …. You have to build that network. We have to build it."
Most ambitious young people also know not to overlook role models of the opposite sex. John Jay College senior Ajibade Longe, one of the few male students in the audience, said he was there because he hopes to become an attorney specializing in human rights. His inspiration? His grandmother, who as a girl was denied an education in their native Nigeria, but now runs an elementary school there. "Out of nothing, she became something," he said proudly — words often heard around CUNY.
Useful Connections
Women's leadership (www.cuny.edu/womensleadership) is just one of many compelling subjects covered in a series of interactive University websites that put invaluable information at your fingertips.
You can hear audio and watch video illuminating key struggles for human rights and milestones in American history, learn about achievements of CUNY faculty and students as well as University philanthropic activity, find leads for jobs and get advice on personal issues including citizenship and immigration.
The websites, which are illustrated with archival photos and drawings, build on information featured on printed calendars issued over the last few years. Also available via these online sources are school curricula (for Grades 7, 8 and 11) developed by the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives at LaGuardia Community College.
Most of the information — published in partnership with The New York Times Knowledge Network — is available in Spanish as well as English.
In addition to the Women's Leadership website — which summarizes the recent conference and includes links to blogs by students who covered the meeting — the newest in the series of online resources grew out of the 2009 City Life Calendar.
City Life: This highlights the importance of cities throughout American history as magnets for creativity in the arts, commerce and politics stemming from diverse people and ideas. The City Life home page also provides the links to several of the following topic sites, as well as to community service resources.
Let Freedom Ring: Listen to sounds of freedom, including slave narratives, Malcolm X's "Message to the Grassroots" speech, songs of labor, and an interview with a Roe v. Wade attorney.
Nation of Immigrants: Immigration milestones from the 16th century to the present day are spotlighted via CUNY Radio podcasts, video of distinguished speakers and a list of prominent immigrant University alumni. www.cuny.edu/nationofimmigrants
Voting Rights and Citizenship: This section begins with events leading up to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution and continues through contested elections and the expansion of voting rights to women, African-Americans, Native Americans and Chinese-Americans. It then moves on to discuss the country's newest voices. Link via www.cuny.edu/citylife or www.cuny.edu/freedom
Women's Leadership in American History: Read about the country's First Ladies, women in politics, the nation's four-month women's strike for workers' rights, women and war work, feminism and the women's movement, and trends toward increased numbers of women in science and sports. Link via www.cuny.edu/citylife or www.cuny.edu/freedom
Student Jobs: The University's employment-opportunities initiative aims to help students obtain part-time and full-time work, as well as internships. This site includes links to jobs as court interpreters, as representatives at New York City's Citizen Service Call Center and with the U.S. Government Census Bureau for the 2010 census. It also provides information about the state's next Civil Service Professional Careers Test, and links to numerous other employment resources.
Faculty/Student Achievements: Highlights include a faculty video showcase, podcasts of faculty lectures and features on faculty/student teams working on research projects in science and teacher development. www.cuny.edu/lookwhoisteaching
Philanthropic Activity: Read about alumni, friends and other philanthropists and foundations that are providing an unprecedented level of private funding to University schools and programs, supporting scholarly research by world-class faculty and endowing student scholarships at every college. "They are investing in CUNY, investing in New York, and investing in futures," Chancellor Matthew Goldstein says.

Enterprise organizations and government agencies have spent countless years and millions of dollars attempting to segment infrastructure and protect critical assets, but most have no idea how well layered defenses actually work.
Security, networking and audit staff have no centralized means of visualizing the state of protection or current attack surface, end-to-end, or communicating that intelligence.
Management cannot determine the ROI of security spend; risk is prioritized using static ranking; circumvention of simple controls still enables most breaches.
Enter RedSeal Networks, the only provider of proactive security management solutions that offer a continuous method of assessing IT protection and risk exposure.

I'll Take Networking for $1000 Alex
As we start a new year at ExecuNet, I can assure you, in between reading the crystal ball pieces written by all the bulls or bears telling us what to expect in 2012, I spent a fair amount of time over the last couple of weeks thinking about the career management world as well.
In the years we have been around, it doesn't seem possible that when we began in 1988 if you heard the phrase the Internet you would have thought it was a term from a Stephan King novel or an ad for the latest teen horror movie. You could almost hear the voice-over booming "Time was running out; they we trapped in the never-ending web of The Internet!" Talk about change!
Also as one does when thinking about the past, present, future and changes, I also reflected on some of the things that over time really haven't changed and for some crazy reason it brought to mind how many times I have been called by a reporter or writer who was doing a piece on career management and how the main focus of the story so often was and still is on the what a Jeopardy clue might describe as "makes every job changer want to barf." Answer: what is networking.
It felt like I have been talking to friends, members, reporters, writers, recruiters, and coaches about this subject for almost as long as I can remember. Indeed, as this subject was crawling across my mind's radar screen, I was reminded of a conversation I had some years ago with a reporter from the WSJ who somehow tracked me down on my cell phone one Saturday. It took me a while to get focused on what he was calling about because all I could think about was how the hell he got my cell number.
Once I started to actually listen to him, he explained he wrote a column called CUBICLE CULTURE. The column is still going strong today.
In any case, turns out he was writing about networking as a job search or business development technique, and the net of it (no pun intended) was that he wondered if it really was effective in this day and age or just something that technology and hype had created to annoy the heck out of people. We talked for quite a while, and at one point he gave me the following example which he was using in the piece and wanted my thoughts:
"...At another event, she was deep in conversation with an old friend when a fresh-faced young man starting out in financial services interrupted, introduced himself and then, after a long silence, came clean: "Well, can I get your business cards?" he asked them. "My boss told me I could only come to this event if I collect a certain number of business cards."
My answer was "That's not a relationship. It's a scavenger hunt!" and it reminded me yet again of how simplistic a world we live in, and how we are all looking for instant answers and how it is that so many people go through life worried about what's in it for them. A attitude in life that is off-putting to say the least, and one which in the context of career management is the personification of a formula for guaranteed failure.
Turns out he liked the sound bite analogy of the scavenger hunt, but when the article was published what he didn't include in the column was what I tried to explain after I had made my flippant comment which was that there is "networking" and there is "effective networking" and the reason the word often makes the hair stand up on the back of people's necks (probably more PC than "barf" I guess) is because of the example he gave. It is the stereotypical image that many people have of what networking is when they hear the word. They think the goal is number of business cards collected as opposed to relationships established.
What I wish he had the time to tell people is that "effective networking", at least based on my personal experience as well as the 24 years of involvement with ExecuNet is really about an attitude of simply being willing to help someone else without worrying about any quid pro quo, and actions whose cumulative effect is to equate your name with trust, or as Karen Armon, who facilitates our networking meetings in the Denver metro area likes to say, "Give first and results will follow."
She couldn't be more right.

Tony Fair, who was in the midst of a concurrent internship at Messiah Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, died on Dec. 18, 2012, after a long series of health struggles. Tony was a delightful, happy, energetic man who, not long before his death, was working on his approval essays from the intensive care unit.
We join with the entire seminary community in sending sympathy and prayers to Tony's sons Everett and Maddox and his sister Theresa. May God's comfort be with those who mourn.
A time of prayer and reflection was held on campus on December 19.

Cabo San Lucas Weather: What to Expect and When to Go
If you're looking for perfect weather, Cabo San Lucas is the right place. With an average of 300-350 days a year of sunshine, Cabo San Lucas is known for its mild, sunny, spring- and summer-like weather all year round. If you're planning a trip to Cabo San Lucas in the near future, here's what to expect from the weather.
In the fall. The Cabo San Lucas tourist season begins in October. In the fall, expect highs from 94° Fahrenheit in September to around 83° Fahrenheit in November. Lows will range from 75° Fahrenheit in September to 63° in November. The weather this time of year is generally sunny, although there may be some occasional rain. The weather in Cabo San Lucas is usually hot towards the start of fall, with a rather abrupt cooling around October. Bring a light sweater or coat for evenings and cooler days toward the end of the autumn season.
In the winter. The average highs for winter climb to around 77° Fahrenheit, while the lows sink to the mid-fifties. Winter weather is mostly sunny, dry, and mild. Temperatures at night can sometimes drop to the 40's or even the 30's, so be prepared with clothing appropriate to the temperature if you're going during the winter months. There is often a cool Pacific breeze during this time of year; don't expect hot or muggy weather.
In the spring. The spring has the driest weather in Cabo San Lucas. It's common for no rainfall to occur at all between March and June. The temperatures rise very gradually between winter and spring. Highs will generally be in the 80's, with lows around the 50's or 60's.
In the summer. Summer is the off-season for tourists in Cabo San Lucas, and it does get hot during this time. Average highs are around 90° Fahrenheit, but it isn't unusual to see 100° or even 110° days.
Late summer also brings some rain; while hurricanes rarely hit Los Cabos directly, the area does experience the effects of the tropical storm season to the south with heavy rain and thunderstorms during this time. While rainstorms usually don't last long, they are often intense. The rainfall stirs up nutrients in the ocean, however, which attracts fish. That's why many fishing enthusiasts come to Cabo San Lucas in the off-season.
As for the ocean, the average temperature in the Sea of Cortes is around 75° Fahrenheit, with the Pacific around 10° cooler on average. Seas can get a bit chilly in the winter, dropping to the 60's, and in the summer they can rise into the 90's. Most of the time, the Sea of Cortes is warm enough for swimming.
The weather in Cabo San Lucas is beautiful and mild most of the year – not too hot, and not too cold. Be sure to check current weather advisories before leaving on your next vacation, however, so you can plan accordingly.
The Villa La Estancia is a Cabo San Lucas luxury resort. Our guests enjoy stunning oceanfront views, easy access to the beach and Cabo nightlife, five-star restaurants, and more. Come and relax by our multi-level pool, unwind in our soothing Jacuzzis, get a drink at our swim-up bar, or let our concierge service organize an unforgettable adventure just for you.

A retired dentist had this concept—gift cards for dogs.
Nothing says specialty substrates like a piece of bread with a thick layer of Nutella printed on it. My friend Guido Lengwiler, a professor of screen printing in Switzerland and the author of A History of Screenprinting, to be published later this year, sent me pictures of a little test he has his students run.
The point of the experiment is to show the versatility of the screen-printing process, how it can print almost anything in a semi-liquid state onto any type of surface. This has far-reaching significance, not necessarily as a way to provide snacks for hungry students—although I hear it tastes really good after a pass through a tunnel dryer—but in the world of manufacturing, where the ability to print one material onto another has revolutionized how things are made.
The very concept of printing has evolved all around the world. For 500 years, imprinting paper was about as exotic as it got, and the primary purpose of printing was putting words, and then illustrations, on paper. Wallpaper and fabric printing stretched the uses of the printing processes, but it wasn't until the late 1800s and early 1900s that printers ventured into specialty materials, ceramics and metal being the main recipients of ink. The main purpose was decorative, again with words and images. Ink on paper is still big, five centuries after Gutenberg, with digital and offset or combinations of the two processes dominating. And that's how the general public, a lot of the print trades, and the education system for the most part still see print.
What is printing?
Let's face it—once we walk out of the screen shop, factory, or material-science lab, if you ask 1000 people to look up from their smartphones for a second and touch or point to the print nearest to them, none will hold up the phone. Yet, the backside of the touchscreen has conductive and luminescent material printed all over it. That's how it works: One non-traditional ink is printed on a non-traditional material. Modern manufacturing using a printing process—who'd have thunk it? Put the two together and pretty soon you have a new product—in this case, $63 billion worth of iPhones and iPads or their clones this year in the USA alone.

B's recall Jordan Caron from Providence, Bourque Clears Waiversby Staff Writer / Boston Bruins
Boston, MA - Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced today, March 8, that forward Chris Bourque has cleared waivers and has been assigned to Providence and that the team has recalled forward Jordan Caron from Providence.
In 44 games with Providence this year, Caron has tallied 10-5=15 totals, while racking up 38 penalty minutes. His ten goals this season with the Providence Bruins is tied for third on the team.
Caron has appeared in 71 career NHL games registering 10 goals and 12 assists with a plus/minus rating of +3. In 2011-12, Caron skated in 17 games with Boston, notching seven goals and eight assists and skated in two playoff games.
The 6'3", 204-pound native of Saybec, Quebec was drafted in the first round (25th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Boston Bruins.
Caron is currently in year three of a three-year entry level contract.
Bourque has appeared in 18 NHL games for the Bruins this season registering one goal and three assists during that time. In 51 career NHL games, Bourque has tallied 2-6=8 with 18 penalty minutes.
Bourque will rejoin Providence, where he has played in 32 games earlier this year, racking up eight goals and 20 assists with a plus/minus rating of +2. In 2011-12, Bourque led the AHL in scoring with a career-high 93 points in 73 games.
The 5'8", 174-pound native of Boxford, MA was drafted in the first second round (33rd overall) of the 2004 Entry Draft by the Washington Capitals. The Bruins acquired Bourque from the Capitals in exchange for forward Zach Hamill on May 26, 2012.
Bourque is currently in year one of a two-year contract with an NHL cap figure of $550,000.

The ampjacket is a new iPhone (and iPad mini) case that is designed to boost your phone's volume simply through acoustics without the need for battery draining accessories. The case has been sculpted to divert the phone's speaker through boosting channels at the back of the phone that increase the volume, making the sound, according to the packaging blurb, twice as loud.
Other than basic phone features like texting, the thing my iPhone is used for most is playing music. I listen through headphones as I walk to collect my son from pre-school, with the phone on the kitchen counter as I cook dinner, and propped in a glass on high volume when I take a shower. It's quick, portable and allows me to carry my music with me at all times, although sometimes there is a problem.
Houses can be loud places and trying to listen to my preferred orchestral scores as the tumble dryer spins, the extractor fan whines or the shower hums – well, sometimes my iPhone's speakers are just not quite up to the job. So when I was offered the chance to try an ampjacket phone case I was very interested.
Naturally I was dubious about this supposed doubling of my phone's volume, so as soon as the new case arrived I snapped it on. The case looks nice and stylish but has one fairly obvious (and large) flaw, its size. The boosting channels more than double the depth of the phone and a bulge at the bottom means it can no longer be stood on that end without it tilting several degrees to the left; it's not a case you really want to be keeping on the phone at all times.
Here I faced another problem with the case: it is nigh on impossible to remove. I tried for 15 minutes before giving up, my fingertips raw from being scratched by the edges of the case as it snapped back into place. My husband was eventually able to remove it by digging his nails under the case and prising it off with some application of force, something that I couldn't do without breaking off half my nails. However by this point any ideas I had previously entertained about snapping the case on when I went for a shower and then reverting back to my usual day-to-day case had been abandoned. It is simply too much effort to bother with for anything more than a sustained period where you need the extra volume.
Speaking of volume, I ran a simple test to see how well the ampjacket did at boosting the volume of some music by playing the same two pieces twice, once with the jacket on and once without. To keep the experiment as fair as possible I kept the phone the same distance apart from the microphone recording the tests, kept the phone in the same position, and kept everything on the same surface without changing anything in the room. Have a listen to the two recordings I made. You'll first hear the music without the ampjacket boost, then with:
X-Files Theme Comparison and Harry Potter Theme Comparison
In both cases there is an obvious increase in volume but it's hard to quantify just how much of an increase. However when you see the data presented visually, the differences are much clearer.
The ampjacket is definitely providing a significant amplification to the sound and easily living up to its marketing claim, it is very impressive and works wonders for my quiet scores. However, I soon happened upon another issue that you may have already noticed in the previous audio clips but which became much more evident when I listened to some rock music.
The ampjacket worked to significantly increase the volume but in doing so it massively distorted the sound, making it unbearable to listen to – at some points it was physically painful. In order to listen to music without distortion I had to turn my iPhone's volume right down to around halfway, making the output not much louder than at full volume without the ampjacket on, and if I'm doing that then what exactly is the point of the ampjacket?
I was also interested to compare the amplification of the ampjacket against the method my husband and I have been employing around our house for several months. Rather than investing in docks for every room, the kitchen and bathroom are home to drinking glasses that are used as a rudimentary amplifiers. For a further test I used an amplification method popular on the internet, that of placing the phone inside a cereal bowl. I played the same clips and recorded the results.
Interestingly, the bowl method appeared to actually reduce the volume output of the phone. The glass did provide some amplification (although not nearly as much as the ampjacket) and did it without the distortion effect. The underling problem of course is that the iPhone's speaker was never designed to deliver sound at the kinds of volumes that the ampjacket is providing, so amplifying its output will eventually lead to the sound disintegrating and becoming unlistenable.
So what do I say about the ampjacket? Well it does what it says on the box; the volume output of your phone will be significantly upped, possibly in the long-term if you have as many problems removing the case as I did. It certainly has great potential as a tool for the hard of hearing, boosting the volume of ringtones and notification pings. The thing is that high volume does not necessarily equal high quality and you have to consider whether or not the loss of audio quality and $30 price tag is worth it to you just to blast out your music extra loud. As for me, well, I still haven't removed my low-tech glass amplifiers and I think they'll be seeing plenty of use for the time-being.
An ampjacket was provided free for this review.

YouTuber FollowtheFoot has an interesting idea for all of us. Take the classic "Wilhelm Scream" sound effect, and replace it with a screaming goat. Even if you think that's a totally dumb idea, you still get to hear some screaming goats if you watch this video, which is ALWAYS HILARIOUS.
FollowtheFoot has even been kind enough to include the sound files in the video's description if you'd like to dub them over some stuff as well. Enjoy, or should we say ENJOOAAAAAAGHHH!!!!

Well, Rob Bell, author of "Love Wins: Heaven, Hell and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived" has stepped over the edge and said it. Love Wins! Imagine that. From the stir these two simple words are causing one would think Rob Bell is spreading a new deadly virus. But this message, Love Wins, has been around since the beginning of creation — actually longer. It was in the mind of God before He said, "Let there be light." The only reason these two words are hurting the ears and eyes of the Church world is because it has still not come out of the Dark Ages. The Protestant Church slightly opened the door to Light 500 years ago, but it has not yet left its cave to step into the kingdom of God and its righteousness.
Universalism was the Light of the early Christians for over 500 years. Then a combination of men, primarily Jerome, Augustine, Constantine and Justinian closed the door to the Holy Spirit and replaced God's Spirit with the "traditions of men which make the word of God of no effect.' Matthew 15:6-9
Over the last 1600 years or so, those who had enough Holy Spirit and boldness in them to say, "Love Wins" were usually killed and had their writings burned. Even during the Protestant Reformation, those who yelled, "Love Wins" were killed or exiled by every "orthodox" church, whether Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Calvinist or whatever.
Today, they can't kill you. But I have little doubt that should the state authorize the burning and beheading of heretics, that the faggots would burn once again, even in Evangelical America.
The last main church player to declared "Love Wins" was Carlton Pearson. He soared so high in the right circles that he was invited to the White House. But when Pearson opened his mouth and declared what he called "The Doctrine of Inclusion," that is, the salvation of all mankind (universalism) the church came at him with everything they could throw at him that was legal. Carlton lost his church of several thousand, his position on the board of directors of Oral Roberts University, recording contracts and church platforms he once shared with the big names of christendom became closed to him. While the church as a whole gave Pearson a thrashing, the secular media was rather nice to Pearson.
It seems Rob Bell will probably meet the same fate. The secular media is being used by HarperOne, the publisher of Love Wins, to generate quite a stir. They will side with Rob Bell on this issue. What remains to be seen is how much of the Church world, Rob Bell can will over. I think he may be able to win more Christians over into leaving Hell and entering the kingdom of God than those who have previously tried in recent times. There have many hundreds of books, DVDs, youtube presentations, web sites that have popped up in recent years declaring Love Wins. Tentmaker Ministries has been screaming it for over 20 years. The tide is turning. How much the tide will turn after Rob Bell's book "Love Wins" comes out remains to be seen. But the message of the Victorious Gospel of Jesus Christ will continue to be preached as long as there is a single soul still locked up in their carnal mind. God's Love is the light that will light up the world, every single soul who ever lived and ever will live. The Truth is Love Wins for everyone. Hell is empty. To see how empty visit

In the prayer place where I live there is a permanent imam, sometime when he is not there somone else is imam insteed of him. When he prays i dont have enough time to do al fatiha and many have complained on him, old people to, so there is no fatiha and everything else is also fast, and almost no khusho at all. only Fajr prayer is the only prayer when he is not the imam and someone else is, so that prayer can be done there.
Maghrib and isha can be done in another praying place where i live that usually has these two prayers that they pray there only and there they pray in normal speed, so i do maghrib and isha there. but duhr and asr in the prayer place with the fast imam, feels like it is no prayer and feel invalid and not right i always do my prayer again after finished praying behind the imam, sometime i fall behind in rukoo or prostration cause its to fast, so I do the prayer again and all feels very wrong.
So what im asking is can I pray duhr and asr at home with my sister instead?
I have asked my aunts husband who has studied in university of al madinah and he asked some or someone and he/they said it can be done.
Praise be to Allaah.
Praying in congregation in the mosque is obligatory for men who are able to do so, according to the more correct scholarly opinion, because of evidence that has been discussed previously in the answers to questions no. 8918 and 120
Recitation of al-Faatihah is one of the pillars or essential part of the prayer for the imam, the one who is praying behind the imam and the one who is praying on his own. This has been discussed previously in the answer to question no. 10995
Reciting al-Faatihah is not waived for the one who is praying behind the imam except in two cases:
(i) If he catches up with the imam as he is bowing. In this case he should bow with him and the rak'ah will count for him, even if he did not recite al-Faatihah
(ii) If he joins the imam in the prayer just before he bows (rukoo') and he is not able to complete al-Faatihah. In this case he should bow with him and not complete al-Faatihah, and the rak'ah will count for him.
You should try hard with the people at the mosque to advise the imam to slow down in his prayer and not rush. If the imam bows before you have completed al-Faatihah, it is permissible to you to complete it even if that will make you delay bowing, then you can follow him. But you should recite al-Faatihah more quickly, without taking your time. Some people are not able to recite al-Faatihah behind the imam for that reason.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on a man who offers a four-rak'ah prayer with a congregation from the beginning of the prayer, then when the imam says the salaam, this man stands up and does a fifth rak'ah. When the imam asked him about that he said: In the second rak'ah I was not able to recite al-Faatihah so I did this rak'ah to make up for it?
He replied: This is correct, but what would have been better than that is if, when he stood up and the imam bowed before he was able to complete al-Faatihah, he had completed al-Faatihah and followed the imam, even if the imam had already stood up from bowing.
End quote from Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 13/134
We do not think you should stop attending the mosque or repeat the prayer; rather you should pray with the imam so long as his prayer is correct, and try hard to do what you are obliged to do, even if you fall behind in following him, whilst continuing to advise him in a suitable manner.
And Allah knows best.

Transportation planning
Rotation Program
The Rotation Program is a tool for staff to further their skills, career goals/objectives, and broaden their knowledge, and abilities and is another way of loaning a position to do work for another Division or Program. The survey that the rotatee completes after completing the rotation is also a way to track what has been learned and then finally shows how the new skills learned can be applied towards his or her current position.
Rotations are typically three to six months long. If all parties agree, the rotation assignment may be extended in increments of six months, for a period not to exceed twenty-four months. Rotations are currently funded by the employee's own position, but based on funding needs can be changed to accommodate the district or division. Rotations can either be initiated by a manager or supervisor or by an employee.
The Transportation Planning Rotation Program sustains the single vision and mission of Caltrans—"to provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system to enhance California's economy and livability"—by promoting a talented and diverse team. The Program accomplishes this objective by providing opportunities to enhance the professional knowledge, skills, and morale of Transportation Planning staff that support the department's transportation planning activities. Internal (within the department) and external assignments promote understanding and communication between the Department and its many partners.
If you are a supervisor or manager with a rotation opportunity, send an email to Lisa Franco, Rotation Program Manager, with the:
- Classification;
- Goal of the rotation - just a brief overview, e.g., to acquire new experience in Regional Planning, etc.;
- Duration of the rotation;
- Location, i.e., the physical address to which the rotatee would be assigned.
Be sure to attach a duty statement for the assignment to the email. Lisa will call you to discuss the timeframes, and other pertinent information. Generally, allow 10-15 days from the day you request a rotation to begin an internal rotation, and 30-45 days to begin an external assignment.
If you are an employee interested in a rotation opportunity, discuss your desire with your supervisor to determine the kind of experience that would best advance
your career. This may also be done in concert with your annual IDP (Individual Development Plan) and training plan. Ask her/his assistance in finding a rotation opportunity.
Your existing position is used to fund the rotation. We can also advertise and assist your unit in finding someone to rotate behind you.
You or your supervisor may also contact:
- Lisa Franco to determine whether there are rotation opportunities available and, if not, to have your name placed in the database of employees interested in rotating. Complete and email the Rotation Program Request Form below to Lisa Franco to be placed in this database.
- The WDB Professional Development Liaison (PDL) in your district or division for recent updates on opportunities statewide, and your on-site bulletin boards for posted rotation advertisements.
- Units in which you have an interest in rotating to determine whether there are any opportunities to rotate.

First, a programing note: We'll spend the next week in Bled, Slovenia (Daniel has his fall break from school) and I won't be doing any posts. Look for a full report when we return.
Last weekend, we enjoyed a long, 4-day break at Lake Balaton. The weather was glorious for mid-October; likely the last warm stretch we will get as we head into winter. The lake and warmer weather gave some beatiful, foggy mornings as you can see in these two panorama shots.
The first day, we went for a hike in the hills behind the house. There is a large ridge that run behind the house, which you can see part of in the photo. I've always wanted to scale the hill, and we finally consulted the map and found what looked to be a suitable trail. It was only 3-4 kilometers, but it took much longer than expected. The first part (up) was very steep, as you might expect. The kids did great, though (Matthew was napping, which also meant that I didn't need to lug him up in the pack). Once at the top, the going was much easier, though the trail isn't used much and is poorly marked, leading us to take a number of wrong turns on intersecting hunting trails. Also, the top is tree covered, so you don't get much of a view, with the exception of a brief glimpes of the Balatonederic church we had on the descent. Still we had a good time and were happy to enjoy the beautiful weather.
The following day we traveled to Sárvár, a small city about an hour north from the lake. We spent the morning at the Sárvári fürdő (bath), a set of pools and spas. The Sárvári fürdő has a particularly nice area for children, with areas that both Matthew and the older ones could enjoy.
After the kids splashed around for a few hours and lunch, we wandered through the town. The town has a beautiful park with an old castle on the grounds. The castle buildings still function as a museum and government buildings.

Hmmm... so, what do you suggest instead? I think in Sepps case... he really does enjoy barking. I've seen him run around in circles in the yard, just barking his head off... at nothing.
A multi-pronged effort.
I have a barker...Inara LOVES to bark. Loves it. Gets attention when she barks, makes scary people go away when she barks, makes other dogs bend to her will when she barks...and so on. She also likes to bark when she's playing...being a herding dog, well, that just happens.
So...when she's playing, she has to carry a toy (a pacifier) to muffle her barking. If she won't pick up a toy on cue...she gets a time-out. I taught the toy carry as an alternate behavior...thinking she couldn't bark when carrying the toy, but she actually still barks, just softer. Which is fine with me.
For the attention, she only gets a time-out if she demand barks at me...or if we're out somewhere, she has to down and get ignored by me. I give her a cue of "you're done"...so she knows that the time out is coming...and I say it rather neutrally...so it's not a positive punishment.
And of course "look at that" game for dealing with scary things, people, mail lady, etc.
On top of all of that...there are times where I let her go crazy and bark...flyball is a great outlet for her, because she gets to run around and release energy AND bark.

Taylor Swift Wants to Live More Quietly
The stage is probably the only place you'll find Taylor Swift partying, and that sentiment comes from the star herself. It seems she'd prefer attention only when there's a guitar in her hand and she's swinging her long blonde locks for the whole arena to see.
"I'm not a party girl. I love performing on stage, that's where I can really come alive and get a bit wild, but in private I want to live more quietly," Swift reveals, according to contactmusic.com. She continues, "I want to live a good life, make good choices, and be good to the people I love and stay close to my friends."
Perhaps the very public speculation on her romantic relationships -- including the recent possible demise with One Direction's Harry Styles -- has intensified Swift's dedication to maintaining a private life. She recognizes with extreme clarity the ramifications of living her mistakes in the headlines and says, "Sometimes people tell me that I'm young and I should be going out more, having fun, making mistakes and being more selfish. The trouble is, if I mess up, there'll be six months of headlines afterwards."
The 23-year-old superstar seems to be fiercely committed to living her personal life in a way that she enjoys, despite the pressure she must face each day as the success of 'Red' continues to mount. Hopefully she can continue to live a quiet life with her close friends, family, and music… and stay away from all the guys she knew were trouble.

MONTGOMERY — Alabama's Medicaid program probably will move to some type of managed care system much like private insurance functions with commercial management companies or community-based care.
MONTGOMERY — Alabama's Medicaid program probably will move to some type of managed care system much like private insurance functions with commercial management companies or community-based care.
That's the summary of presentations to the executive committee of the Alabama Medicaid Advisory Commission, which met Wednesday to continue its task of redesigning Medicaid to save taxpayers money while continuing to provide adequate service.
Gov. Robert Bentley created the commission and tasked it with recommending ways to modernize Alabama's Medicaid program, which takes one-third of the discretionary general government budget, about $600 million this year. Without change, the budget requirement will increase by about $100 million next fiscal year.
Bentley gave the commission until start of the legislative session next February to produce a report.
Alabama is one of three Southern states that does not use some form of managed care for its $5.3 billion Medicaid program.
Dr. Don Williamson, the state's Public Health Officer whom Bentley appointed to lead the Medicaid reform effort, said it's inevitable that Medicaid will move to managed care in 2014.
He said Bentley's decision Tuesday not to expand Medicaid as it currently exists under federal guidelines doesn't change the fact that the program needs reforming from a provider-based payment system to a system that probably will cap expenditures and services.
One approach would be to set up community-based managed care and another would be to implement reform through managed care organizations.
The first approach was explained by Manett Health Solutions, which was hired by the Alabama Hospital Association. The second was explained by a United HealthCare representative whose report was a collaboration with seven other managed care providers.
"We have to manage this care differently going forward," Williamson said. "We have a fundamentally broken Medicaid system with disorganized, non-integrated care and a funding system that is not transparent. It's not rational to add 200,000 to 400,000 new people (to Medicaid) if you are losing money on each visit."
Manett Managing Director Tom Enders said Medicaid might need a new source of revenue, probably a tobacco tax.
Sen. Greg Reed, R-Jasper, vice chairman of the legislative Medicaid reform committee, noted that Alabamians have worse underlying physical and medical problems than the national average.
"We're going to have to focus more on preventative care and early detection for Alabamians to be successful and make a living," he said.
Williamson said he wants to present at least a framework of the direction for the commission to take by early December.
If the commission decides to go to managed care, it could take two years to implement.

The four major professional sports teams in Seattle have joined together to create a video message for the "It Gets Better Project." Players from the Seattle Storm, Seattle Sounders FC, Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners are featured in the video, which was posted today on YouTube, the individual team websites, and was submitted today to www.itgetsbetter.org.
The participating players are center Lauren Jackson and forward Swin Cash of the Storm, forwards Mike Fucito and Roger Levesque of the Sounders, wide receiver Mike Williams of the Seahawks, and relief pitcher Brandon League and infielder Brendan Ryan of the Mariners.
"As far as we can tell, this is the first time a community's professional sports teams have joined together to take a stand on this important issue. We are proud to be part of it," said Chuck Armstrong, Seattle Mariners President and COO.
"The messages in the video are core values of our organization, so it was easy for us to agree that the Storm would participate," said Karen Bryant, Seattle Storm President and CEO.
"We believe our role in the community is very important," said Seahawks and Sounders FC president Peter McLoughlin. "This video provided an opportunity for all the professional teams to come together and offer a message of hope and encouragement to our young fans."
The It Gets Better Project and website were launched in Seattle last fall by syndicated columnist Dan Savage in response to a startling number of teen suicides and bullying of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender teens. In the months since, tens of thousands of individuals and organizations have posted videos that offer encouragement and support to LGBT youth.
The video was produced courtesy of ROOT SPORTS.

- Forty kilometres south of Bordeaux, Sauternes is an AOC that includes together 5 communes, including Barsac. For centuries, humans have been patiently learning to master this region's climate, soils and grape varieties. But Mother Nature did a good job laying the foundation. The Sauternes terroir is distinguished by a geological predisposition to gravel and pebbles that cover limestone streaked with veins of clay. In the communes of Fargues and Sauternes, a layer of hardpan (iron-oxide cemented sand) in which vines flourish can be found. The vineyards at the highest elevations and farthest from the river have the best terroirs and produce the majority of the Crus Classés,including the monumental Château Yquem.Sauternes wines are made from Sémillon (80%of vines planted) and Sauvignon (15%) grapes. A bit of Muscadelle occasionally is used to give the wines an untamed touch. Sauternes have an "aged gold" colour that is denser and darker than other dessert wines. When they age, they develop a stunning amber colour. The nose has aromas of flowers and fruit that melt together to create a bouquet of remarkable complexity and balance. The primary aromas include almond, quince, mango,pineapple, stewed peach, dried apricot and passion fruit. There are also floral notes, with touches of linden, acacia, mimosaand honeysuckle. And as is typical with Sémillon, there are also notes of beeswax, almond and hazelnut. In the mouth, Sauternes wines have a powerful style that is viscous but extremely elegant. Its strong sweetness is captivating. Finally, its aromatic finish is something that simply must be experienced.
- Doisy-Daene Barsac 2001. Great balance of richness & acidity. Soft almond nougat & candied clementine peel.
- 蜂蜜の香り。花の香り。アルコールが少し感じる。 チェスナット・クリームブリュレと。
- Great desert wine. Smooth and not too sweet. Apple and Pear notes.

STERLING, Va. - Senior Mike D'Auria continues to add to an awards-filled postseason after a dazzling campaign on the court. On Wednesday, D'Auria was named D3hoops.com Northeast Region Player of the Year, becoming the first MIT player in the 105-year history of the program to ever garner such a distinction.
Players for the D3hoops.com All-Region teams were nominated by the Sports Information Directors at the various schools, who were contacted several times as the season wound down to remind them to make their players eligible. A total of 599 players were nominated nationwide in Division III.
The ballot was then made available to the SIDs, who voted for 10 players in their region. SIDs voted for six frontcourt players and four backcourt players and the top vote-getters at each position were named to the All-Region team.
"We are thankful to the Sports Information Directors across Division III who took the time to nominate and vote to provide broader recognition to these worthy student-athletes," said D3hoops.com publisher Pat Coleman. "Their continued help and participation is integral to the All-Region team and everything else we do."
A regional Player of the Year and Coach of the Year were selected in each region for the first time, the Player of the Year as the top vote-getter in each region and the Coach of the Year in consultation with regional members.
D'Auria's appointment represents the program's first regional Player of the Year honor. Former program standouts, Jack Barry (1962) and Fran O'Brien (1980), earned regional recognition as Coach of the Year.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Jim Dickrell is the editor of Dairy Herd Management and is based in Monticello, Minn.
Another point of contention is what government costs would be under the two programs. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack argues that supply management will be required. "Every time we get good prices, farmers increase production and we create greater stocks on the supply side," he says.
But the Wisconsin analysis suggests otherwise. Yes, producers will make more milk under Goodlatte because they are assured of slightly better prices and indemnity payments during low periods. "But because low prices are not as low, you don't have as many producers falling out of business during the trough," says Stephenson. "As a result, the following highs are not as high because you have more milk production during recovery."
The Congressional Budget Office, who scored the programs, pretty much agrees. Under current programs (dairy prices supports, Milk Income Loss Contract payments), the CBO budget score is $248 million over five years. CBO scored the Dairy Security Act at $107 million, and Goodlatte at $60 million.
So here's what it boils down to:
• The Dairy Security Act offers higher milk prices, higher net returns, greater volatility, higher government costs and lower exports.
• Goodlatte offers lower prices and lower returns, lower government costs, higher exports but no intrusive market stabilization program.
The choice is yours.

Went in quickly working with Jim Smith. Very smart and asked the right technical questions; then was handed off to a series of newbies and uninterested due-dil guys who had never bothered to look at our deck or understand clearly what we were doing.
Had 6 meetings and every one was starting over again as we slogged through the pitch to bring their guys up to speed and feedback was random and unorgainized.
These are not bad guys, and I would pitch them again, but some basic courtesy and competent follow-through is needed here.PRIVATE: Members Only (191 Characters)

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - The top U.S. military appellate court on Monday ruled that the judge presiding over the case of an Army major charged with a 2009 massacre at Fort Hood, Texas is not impartial and ordered him removed.
The court also set aside the order by the judge, Colonel Gregory Gross, that accused gunman Major Nidal Hasan be forcibly shaved.
The action by the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces further delays the trial of Hasan, 42, who is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder after he allegedly opened fire on soldiers and support personnel in a room at Fort Hood in November 2009. Thirty-two people were also wounded before two civilian police officers shot Hasan four times, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down.
The court said that Gross has "allowed the proceedings to become a duel of wills between himself and Major Nidal Hasan, rather than an adjudication of the serious offenses with which Hasan is charged."
The appellate court, which is the ultimate decider of matters under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, said a "reasonable observer might reasonably question the military judge's impartiality," and ruled that Hasan has "shown a clear and indisputable right to removal of the military judge."
After two delays and after his request for a third delay was rejected, Hasan appeared in the courtroom at Fort Hood in June wearing a full beard, which is a violation of Army grooming rules. Gross repeatedly held Hasan in contempt of court, fined him $1,000 on six separate occasions, and removed him from the courtroom. Monday's ruling dismissed the six contempt citations.
Hasan has sought to keep the beard by claiming that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 allowed him to declare his Muslim faith despite Army regulations.
"We need not and do not decide if and how the Religious Freedom Restoration Act might apply to Hasan's beard," the court ruled. "Should the next military judge find it necessary to address Hasan's beard, such issues should be addressed and litigated anew."
In a 10-page ruling, the appeals court said no evidence was presented to show that Hasan's beard was "disruptive to court proceedings" and said Gross may be biased in the case because he was on the post at the time of the shooting.
Victims of the shooting have complained that the case has dragged on too long and the military justice system has failed to provide them with closure in the case.
