Opened as a Roman Catholic Seminary in 1893 and restructured into an Institute for Theological and Ministerial studies in 1981, St. Bernard's has steadily pursued a course of dedication and service to a changing Church in a changing world. The founder, Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid, an educational pioneer, was bold and innovative in his vision of theological education. Succeeding bishops of Rochester also left their mark on the development of St. Bernard's. Archbishop Thomas Hickey laid the groundwork for its financial stability. Bishop James E. Kearney left a legacy of deeply rooted personal devotion. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen introduced changes enabling the traditional seminary to meet the challenges of the Second Vatican Council.
In response to the Second Vatican Council, St. Bernard's changed rapidly and became one of the first Roman Catholic seminaries in the United States to open its doors to laity. The focus on ministerial and theological education for the laity intensified with the move from the north side of Rochester to the Colgate Rochester Divinity School (now known as Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School) campus on South Goodman Street. On August 26, 1981, St. Bernard's and the Colgate Rochester Divinity School signed a covenant establishing a graduate-level affiliation between the two institutions. Under this arrangement, both institutions retained their own curriculum, degrees, endowment, alumni, and Boards of Trustees. Both institutions shared the physical facilities of the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, maintaining a single library, and, within curriculum requirements, extended cross-registration privileges to all enrolled students.
In the fall of 1989, St. Bernard's initiated an extension program in the Diocese of Albany with the enthusiastic support of Bishop Howard Hubbard. St. Bernard's program at Albany serves the educational and ministerial needs of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany as well as the wider ecumenical community of the Albany and surrounding areas.
In the spring of 1992, the Diocese of Rochester started a non-graduate training program for people serving in and preparing for parish ministry. This program known as the Certification Program continues to serve as the Diocesan training program for many parish leaders while also providing opportunities for individuals seeking adult faith formation. A comparable program known as the Instituto de Pastoral Hispano is offered for the Hispanic community.
In the fall of 1994, the Certification Program, the Instituto de Pastoral Hispano and the Office of Professional Development were incorporated into the structure of St. Bernard's. The consolidation of these educational programs with the graduate program brings both better collaboration and clarity to the diverse levels of preparation for ministry. The integration of the Certification and Continuing Education programs into the overall mission of St. Bernard's signaled the emerging role of the school as the ministerial training center for the Diocese of Rochester. In 2002, the Certification program was extended to the Albany diocese, further enhancing St. Bernard's role in preparing a wider range of people for ministry.
In August 2003, St. Bernard's moved to its new campus at 120 French Road. This marked an exciting new phase in the history of the school. This independent existence would not have been possible without the support and significant financial commitment from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester under the leadership of the 8th Bishop of Rochester, The Most Rev. Matthew H. Clark.

Click here to download a long PowerPoint presentation on the Reference Guide.
The Reference Guide is a resource that explains donor education funding strategies and mechanisms. It focuses on external education financing in low-income countries, including those in fragile situations. Governments in these situations (crisis, post-crisis or the risk of crisis associated with conflict, natural disaster or challenges to government legitimacy) typically face challenges in delivering core public services, including education.
Why was the Reference Guide developed?
The Reference Guide was developed by the INEE Working Group on Education and Fragility in response to requests from education specialists for an easily accessible description of the different types of external assistance for education. In particular, it responds to recommendations made by participants at the 2008 INEE Policy Roundtable on Education Finance in States Affected by Fragility. The purpose of the Reference Guide is to enable national decision-makers to better understand:
* what donors seek to achieve in the education sector
* how donors provide education assistance
* the constraints on donor funding
* how various funding mechanisms work
* why donors choose one funding mechanism over another
What is the Reference Guide?
The Reference Guide is a reference written from the donor point of view that explains the design, goals and constraints of existing types of external education assistance. It is not an analysis of the pros and cons of different funding mechanisms, nor is it a how to guide that helps education ministries more successfully apply for external education assistance.
Who will benefit from reading the Reference Guide?
National education policy-makers will gain a better understanding of funding mechanisms, making them better able to navigate country-donor relationships. Nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) and other civil society organisations, together with local education donor groups and their education partners, may increase their knowledge of donor goals, strategies and funding mechanisms in the education sector. As a result, they may become more effective at holding governments and donors accountable for the use of external education funding.
Next Steps . . .
The Working Group is initiating an extensive dissemination strategy to ensure the Reference Guide reaches all interested stakeholders. As part of this, the Reference Guide will be presented in the upcoming series of INEE regional tool launches kicking off in Dakar, Senegal on 25 June 2010. If you would like further information, please contact email@example.com.
The Reference Guide is available in English, French, Spanish (forthcoming) and Arabic (forthcoming).

LONDON — In France, Charlotte Jurdieu has become part of the millions in the sharing economy.
Twice a month, Ms. Jurdieu, 26, drives her Vauxhall Astra from Paris to her hometown in the Alsace region of eastern France to visit her family and boyfriend. And in the passenger seats of her small car come fellow customers of a French start-up company, BlaBlaCar, which has created an online ride-sharing service to match drivers like her with passengers in need of a ride.
Founded in Paris in 2006, the company aims to connect people who want to share long-distance journeys. It is also active in Russia, Germany, Poland and eight other European countries.
BlaBlaCar plans to announce on Wednesday that it has raised $100 million in new investment from a group of European and American venture firms, including Accel Partners and Index Ventures.
While sharing start-ups like Uber and Airbnb have met regulatory resistance with their business plans, BlaBlaCar operates differently, forbidding participants to profit from the ride-sharing service. Instead, drivers share the costs of their trips and riders often pay less than they would have using public transportation.
"I'm a lot cheaper than the train," said Ms. Jurdieu, one of more than eight million Europeans who now use BlaBlaCar. One-way train tickets from Paris to Alsace can cost more than a third more than what she charges for the same route. "As it's a long time to spend in a car, traveling with people also makes the time go faster."
The company's English name, which it uses regardless of the country where it operates, comes from how chatty people are when sharing journeys. If passengers do not want to talk during the trip, they can mark in their profiles that they are only "Bla," to denote that they are not looking for much conversation. Or they can go a full "BlaBlaBla" when they are happy to chatter throughout the trip.
Users like Ms. Jurdieu complete online profiles that tell others whether they have a vehicle or are looking for a ride. People can post when and where they are going, and others can then sign up to share rides.
The driver posts a price per seat, people pay up front — online, in some cases — and BlaBlaCar takes a 12 percent cut of each trip.
The typical journey — mostly between large European cities like Munich and Hamburg, Germany — is less than 200 miles, and the company says that more than a million people use the service each month. The largest markets, each with more than a million users, are France, Germany and Spain.
"The need we're trying to address is universal, and the market is massive," said Nicolas Brusson, a founder of BlaBlaCar. He said the company planned to use the new investment to expand across Europe and into emerging markets like Brazil and India where transport infrastructure is poor. "Countries like Turkey have many similar features to where we operate in Europe and Russia."
The rise of BlaBlaCar, which does not yet have plans to offer its service in the United States, is part of a growing trend of companies that are tapping into the so-called sharing economy.
American companies like the apartment-sharing service Airbnb and the ride-sharing company Lyft have quickly spread across the United States and overseas, as more people look for alternatives to traditional services from the likes of hotels and taxis.
Many of these companies, however, have run into resistance from existing companies, which complain the start-ups either do not comply with local laws or do not pay enough tax in the cities where they operate.
That is particularly true for the driving service Uber, which faced protests across Europe last month from thousands of taxi drivers who complained that the American start-up was not playing by the same rules that govern the region's taxi industry.
In response, Uber says it is offering greater choice for consumers in a heavily regulated industry that has seen little technological innovation for decades.
As BlaBlaCar does not allow drivers to profit from the ride-sharing service, the company says it does not face the same regulatory and tax problems that companies like Uber are facing in the United States and Europe.
The company caps how much drivers can charge passengers per route to ensure they cannot overcharge to make a profit from each journey. Instead, the company says, users can break even only on journeys by splitting the cost with other travelers, after BlaBlaCar takes its percentage.
Passengers are covered under the driver's existing insurance policy, which the company says does not need to be changed to take part in the ride-sharing service.
"It's a model where people aren't participating to make money, but to save money," said Dominique Vidal, a partner at Index Ventures. "That's fundamentally different to other sharing-economy companies."
BlaBlaCar, however, has had a few troubles. This year, for example, it expanded into Russia and Ukraine, only weeks before tension between the two countries eventually led to Russia's annexation of Crimea.
The company also had to try to address customer concerns about safety, particularly among female passengers worried about getting into a car with a stranger.
"We take safety extremely seriously," said Mr. Brusson, who added that women can choose to share vehicles only with other women. "People rely a lot on peer reviews. It's the first thing people check when they want to find a car."
As it looks to expand into new markets, BlaBlaCar says it is drawing lessons from Russia, where despite the geopolitical tensions, it has attracted about 250,000 users since its debut in February and expects to hit one million subscribers by the end of the year. To aid that growth, the company acquired a local Russian rival — an approach it is likely to follow in other countries it enters, according to Mr. Brusson.
When one customer, Dzmitry Bazhko, signed up with BlaBlaCar, he was looking for a cheap way to travel from Moscow to his hometown, Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
After previously spending 12 hours on that train journey, Mr. Bazhko said he was surprised that the shared car trip took less than half the time — and was almost a third of what the train ticket would have cost.
"I don't have a driver's license, and the train can be really expensive," said Mr. Bazhko, 27, who works for Airbnb in Moscow. "So far, it's the cheapest way I've found to get back home."

Transforming Higher Education
On July 18, Secretary Spellings delivered remarks at the 2008 Higher Education Summit in Chicago. "While I still have the bully pulpit, I want to speak frankly to you about what I think needs to be done," she said. "The National Center for Higher Education Management Systems estimates, to keep up with international competition, at least 20 million more Americans must access higher education by 2025.... To meet this challenge, we must improve the 'Three A's' of access, affordability, and accountability." "We, at the federal level, are doing more," she continued. In 2008, Pell grantees will benefit from the largest increase in their annual award in 30 years, and all students will benefit from new tools to help them choose a college and apply for financial aid, including College.gov, the FAFSA4caster, the College Navigator, and a "Federal Aid First" brochure. "In addition," she noted, "I'm heartened that a pioneering band of innovators is embracing my commission's recommendations," such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's free, open courseware and Stanford University's podcasts of hundreds of free courses. "At the same time, I am disappointed that many challenges of leadership remain unmet.... So, I feel honor-bound to remind you that, in the absence of continued leadership in education, others will step in. When public demand reaches critical mass, policymakers are compelled to act, whether they're in Congress or state legislatures." The Secretary concluded with a challenge. "To meet our need for 20 million by 2025, we must broaden and elevate the conversation," she said. "Let's start by giving ourselves a deadline to reach the halfway point by the next presidential election in 2012. We have only begun to tap the potential of the American population."

Also: After 14 extensions and months of intense negotiations, Congress has approved a bill to reauthorize the Higher Education Act. The bill, which sets federal higher education policy for at least the next five years, now goes to President Bush, who is expected to sign it into laweven though the administration has expressed concern about the creation of more than 60 new programs.

STEM Partnerships
On July 22, professional golf player Phil Mickelson and his wife Amy visited the Department to emphasize the importance of math and science by showing local students how these subjects influence the game of golf. On a mini-golf course temporarily assembled on the floor of the Department's auditorium, the golfer known as "Lefty" adeptly demonstrated how angles, friction, and motion all contribute to the direction a golf ball rolls. The Mickelsons help sponsor the Mickelson ExxonMobil Teacher Academy, which gives teachers practical, hands-on ways of making math and science interesting in the classroom. The academy's annual summer camps have prepared 1,200 teachers. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2008/07/07222008.html.
Later that same day, the Mickelsons testified before the House Education and Labor Committee on how business-education partnerships can help drive innovation and strengthen math and science education. The stellar panel of witnesses also included astronaut Sally Ride, Tom Luce of the National Math and Science Initiative, and top representatives from IBM, Raytheon, and Texas Instruments.

ADA Anniversary/Wounded Warriors
In a recent "Dear Colleague" letter, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Stephanie Monroe commemorates the 18th anniversary of the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). "America is undeniably stronger because of the ADA and contributions individuals with disabilities have made to every aspect of our society," she stated. "The Department's Office of Civil Rights (OCR) has played an important role in implementing and enforcing the ADA, by working with state and local education agencies, as well as postsecondary schools, to make groundbreaking strides in providing access to opportunities for students with disabilities on a non-discriminatory basis." Nevertheless, she added, "Today, we face new challenges and must implement creative solutions to meet those new challenges. In that vein, I am pleased to announce a... Wounded Warriors Initiative." Many veterans returning from Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom are individuals with disabilities who intend to pursue higher education (aided by the revamped GI Bill). Yet, because these "wounded warriors" acquired disabilities during their service, they have no history of receiving disability-based accommodations in high school. Accordingly, they are less familiar with their disability-related rights and responsibilities. Moreover, most colleges and universities have limited experience accommodating students with the types of disabilities associated with these individuals. Under the initiative, OCR will support veterans with disabilities who have questions about their ADA rights and responsibilities, work with institutions and service providers wanting to know how best to support veterans with disabilities, and encourage institutions to adopt innovative approaches to serve this important population. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/
Note: A new OCR publication, "So You Want to Go Back to School" (http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/
back-to-school-2008.html), supplies detailed information on ADA and higher education for veterans.
Grant Awards
With the new school year just around the corner, the Department continues to award grants under major competitive programs:
Improving Literacy Through School Libraries: $18.25 million to enhance school libraries in 59 low-income school districts across 22 states (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/
Foreign Language Assistance Program: $2.2 million to increase the number of students learning foreign languages critical to national security or commerce in seven districts and one charter school across seven states (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/
Special Education: a $1.5 million grant to the University of Illinois at Chicago for a national center that will help minority institutions locate funding for projects that serve students with disabilities, especially in personnel development (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/
2008/07/07222008a.html), and $2.4 million to help train teachers of students with high incidence disabilities in 20 institutions across 15 states (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/
Emergency Management for Higher Education: $5.2 million to develop and implement plans for preventing and responding to campus violence and natural disasters at 13 college and universities across 11 states (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/
Also: Five states (FL, ID, NY, OR, and UT) are receiving grants under the Charter Schools Program, which supports efforts to plan, design, implement, and disseminate information about charter schools. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/charter/.
Analysis: CTE and Adult Literacy
"Career and Technical Education (CTE) in the United States: 1990-2005," the latest compendium on CTE from the Department's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), looks at CTE offerings, who participates in CTE, what types of CTE students take, who teaches CTE, and the labor market and further education outcomes attained by CTE participants. The report documents that, between 1990 and 2005, the number of CTE credits earned by public high school graduates remained steady, despite the trend of more academic coursetaking in high school. The report also found that, at both the high school and college level, student participation increased in the occupational areas of health care and computer science, while it decreased in business. For more information, please go to http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2008035.
"Bridges to Opportunity: Federal Adult Education Programs for the 21st Century," the report of the Interagency Adult Education Working Group, identifies ways to improve federal education programs for adults who need to better their basic literacy skills. The report makes six specific recommendations to help ensure: (1) federal programs serving adults will be utilized in a manner that increases the effectiveness, efficiency, and availability of such programs and (2) literacy skills of adults will be strengthened, thereby improving their opportunities for transitions to postsecondary education and employment. Need examples? The report spotlights 11 adult literacy programs across five agencies and four federal entities that are authorized to conduct and disseminate research on adult education.

Volunteering in America
This week, USA Freedom Corps and the Corporation for National and Community Service launched a new web site, http://www.volunteeringinamerica.gov, with volunteering trends throughout the U.S. Users can access volunteering data and information for the entire nation, regions, states, and 162 large and mid-sized cities. Users will also be able to view how states and cities rank by volunteer rates and hours. Nearly 61 million Americans volunteered in their communities, giving 8.1 billion hours of service worth more than $158 billion. For the third straight year, Utah was the top state with a volunteer rate of 43.9%. Minneapolis-St. Paul ranked first among large cities, with 39.3%, and Provo, Utah, ranked first among mid-sized cities, with a remarkable 68.3%.
Note: Volunteers spend approximately 15 hours watching TV in a typical week, compared to 23 hours for non-volunteers. That eight-hour difference that adds up to over 400 hours over the course of a year.
Quote to Note
"One of the biggest barriers to change [in postsecondary education] is a lack of coordination between high schools and higher education. Too often, high school coursework is not rigorous or varied enough to act as a springboard to success in college.... The problem is not a lack of resources. My agency recently returned more than $500 million in Academic Competitiveness (AC)/National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) grants to the U.S. Treasury. Why? Because we could not find enough college-ready students from low-income families to take them. That is $500 million that has gone unused, and countless more untapped human potential."
|Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (7/18/08), at the 2008 Higher Education Summit in Chicago

(MISSOULA, Mo.) -- Former University of Montana star quarterback Jordan Johnson hopes to return to the sport he loves after being acquitted of sexual assault charges, the football player's family said on Saturday.
"I think he plans on staying here and playing football. That's why he came. You know, so I'm hoping things get back to normal real quick," Johnson's uncle, Lane Johnson, told ABC's Good Morning America.
Johnson was suspended and eventually kicked off the team as the case progressed, but school officials said he can now appeal to be reinstated.
Despite the prosecutions' attempts to prove Johnson, 20, of Eugene, Ore., had raped a classmate and former acquaintance last February after she invited him over to watch a movie, evidence showed Johnson had consensual sex with the 21-year-old alleged victim.
Prosecutors said a medical exam revealed bruises on the accuser's body, and even played a recording of Johnson's unnamed victim alleging she was a victim of sexual assault after her night with Johnson.
"He just started pulling my body into his just again and again and again," she is heard saying. "It hurt so bad."
But the defense countered her claim with text messages the alleged victim sent to a friend, writing "I don't think he did anything wrong."
"We had consensual sex and I would never do that to anyone," Johnson testified on Thursday.
If Jordan wants to return to the Grizzlies, he would have to appeal, and school officials said the athletic conduct team would make the final ruling.
"Jordan will need to indicate that that's his desire, to return to the team," Montana University President Royce Engstrom told the Billings Gazette. "Then the athletic conduct team will listen to that and make a decision. And we'll attend to that as quickly as we can, if that's what Jordan wishes."
The case unfolded amid broad federal scrutiny of the Missoula Police Department, Missoula County District Attorney's Office and University of Montana's handling of sexual assault cases.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced in May a probe into the number of reports of sexual assaults in Missoula. During a three-year period, there were 80 reports of sexual assaults, of which 11 were at the university.
According to the DOJ, the purpose of its investigation was to determine whether the university and law enforcement agencies acted properly, adequately and fairly to protect the safety of women.
The school announced in May the NCAA had been investigating its athletic programs for undisclosed reasons.
The U.S. Department of Education, which also was looking into reports of harassment and assault allegations on campus, said last month that it had closed its discrimination complaint because the allegations were being addressed by the Department of Justice investigation.
Police and university officials have been eager to cooperate with the investigations, but Missoula County Attorney Fred Van Valkenberg opposed the investigations when they were launched last year when he denied any mishandling of sexual assault reports.

Published at Monday, May 20th, 2019 - 18:10:31 PM. Resume Template. By Adalric Stein.
But how can you guarantee that your resume will not only turnout in the mile-long pile of applicants and legal candidates in the HR department? There is basically no guaranteed answer for that query but here are some tips that will be (with a bit of luck) useful for you just in case you are still not receiving any phone calls.
First, you should remember to leave a comfortable margin, which is typically one to one and a half inches, on the top, bottom, and sides of your resume page or pages. Then, you must employ appropriate spacing, which is typically two to three line spaces) between the sections, such as your educational background, work experience, and other relevant details. Speaking of sections, it is important that you maintain consistency in typing headings. Check out free resume examples on the web and you'll see that headings should be the same all throughout. For example, if EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND is capitalized, so should WORK EXPERIENCE and the rest.

Chris Null of Yahoo! Tech and Mark McClusky, one of my old mentors at Wired, did a side by side shootout of Rice Cookers. They actually went and dethroned what I always considered the king of the long grain, short grain, and everything in between: The Zojirushi, known to me as the Hattori Hanzo in its class. Apparently its ability to start cooking at a set time, or its ability to make rice to different degrees of hardness, were meaningless after it prepped rice inconsistently between batches.
The winner? A Sanyo that doesn't even beep when its done. The Zojirushi was even topped by a Cuisinart. Just goes to show ya: even if you eat 100 pounds of rice a year, you can still learn something new about how to cook it. Asians everywhere, I suspect, will share my surprise. But a fair fight is a fair fight, and I assure you that those two know how to test gadgets.

The Committed Parent
An Open Love Letter to Parents
Dear Parents,
Somewhat to my own surprise, I recently discovered the area
where I intend to devote the remaining years of my life. As often
happens with such realizations, it turns out to be something that
I have been deeply immersed in for nearly 30 years in a variety
of different guises: advocating for children and offering
information, care and loving support to the often lonely,
overwhelming work of being a parent.
Advocating for children in this manner turns out to be a rather
tricky enterprise. From observing parents up close, and from
being one myself, I recognize that in our sanest moments we
parents want nothing but the very best for our children. And yet,
the number of times when I have been confused, frightened,
withdrawn, filled with despair, angry and even a little crazed
have been many - just ask my daughter!
But mostly what we want is to be able to nurture, provide for,
safeguard and love our children beyond all measure and all
reason. Yet the fact is that the work of parenting, both by its
nature and its duration, virtually guarantees that there will be
moments when we are not sane nor centered. My intention here
is to help each of us better understand such moments, and also
to make it abundantly clear, in no uncertain terms, that in each
and every moment in our lives as parents, there isn't a single
one of us who hasn't been doing the very best they could in the
moment, given existing circumstances.
In part, it is the circumstances – our internal and external lived
reality – that we'll be exploring together here. We'll be looking at
the things that live wild and unresolved within us, as well as in
the world all around us – all the things that can tilt us off-axis
and manage to make us more than a little crazy – crazy enough
that sometimes we actually may feel as though we should be
In the explorations that arise out of the material that I will be
sharing here, and that I fully imagine many of you will be sharing
with me, I expect to learn a great deal. I haven't been a parent to
all children, only to one child, a relatively easy one by most
measures. I know that children come in all shapes, sizes and
challenges. Some of them I expect will present challenges that I
won't have even a clue about how to respon. In those instances,
what I can do is listen in order to do my best to truly understand
just how difficult this "most important job in the world" really can
And I can also inquire. Collectively, all of us are smarter than
any one of us, and so it is the collective wisdom that I anticipate
drawing upon frequently here in this forum. It is the collective
wisdom, shared freely, that will provide each of us with much
that we might need on this journey.
Sincerely yours,
Mark Brady
P.S. To begin our explorations together, feel free to start
Employing social neuroscience to help parents raise kids we can live with and are crazy about ~

The Best Map Ever Made of America's Racial Segregation
Last year, a pair of researchers from Duke University published a report with a bold title: "The End of the Segregated Century." U.S. cities, the authors concluded, were less segregated in 2012 than they had been at any point since 1910. But less segregated does not necessarily mean integrated–something this incredible map makes clear in vivd color.
The map, created by Dustin Cable at University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, is stunningly comprehensive. Drawing on data from the 2010 U.S. Census, it shows one dot per person, color-coded by race. That's 308,745,538 dots in all–around 7 GB of visual data. It isn't the first map to show the country's ethnic distribution, nor is it the first to show every single citizen, but it is the first to do both, making it the most comprehensive map of race in America ever created.
This is the most comprehensive map of race in America ever created.
White people are shown with blue dots; African-Americans with green; Asians with red; and Latinos with orange, with all other race categories from the Census represented by brown. Since the dots are smaller than pixels at most zoom levels, Cable assigned shades of color based on the multiple dots therein. From a distance, for example, certain neighborhoods will look purple, but zooming-in reveals a finer-grained breakdown of red and blue–or, really, black and white.
"There are a lot of moving parts in this process, so this can cause different shades of color to appear at different zoom levels in really dense areas, like you see in NYC," Cable explains. "I played around with dot size and transparency for a while and settled on the current scheme as being adequate." You can read more about Cable's methodology here, but it comes down to this: When you're dealing with 300 million dots at varying levels of zoom, getting the presentation just right is as much an art as a science.
Looking at the map, every city tells a different story. In California, for example, major cities aren't just diverse, they're integrated to a great degree, too. We see large swaths of Sacramento dotted variously with reds, blues, oranges, greens and browns. Los Angeles is more distinctly clustered, but groups still bleed into one another.
In Detroit, amongst the most segregated cities in America, 8 Mile Road serves as a sharp racial dividing line.
In the Midwest, though, the racial divide can be shockingly exact. In Chicago, bands of whites, blacks, and Latinos radiate out from the city center like sun beams. In St. Louis, a buffer of a few blocks separates a vast area of largely black citizens from another of white and Asian ones. In Detroit, the most segregated city in America according to one recent study, there's no buffer at all. We see how 8 Mile Road serves as the dividing line between two largely homogenous swaths–one predominantly white and one predominantly black.
But the map doesn't just tell us about distinct cities. Cable points out how the area comprising the Northwest Territory–Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota–sees a good deal of population distributed by major roadways, as opposed to the states in the East where the populations often developed along natural features (compare the sweep of dots in Eastern Pennsylvania to the same area in this detailed map of the area's rivers).
Looking at the Southeast, a wide, faint band of green represents the Black Belt, a region originally named for the dark soil in Alabama and Mississippi that eventually came to describe the greater region shaped by plantation agriculture. And while the West looks awfully barren, the density of cities like Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston gives us a sense of why those states are actually so populous.
Responding to the Duke University study last year, experts were quick to expound on the complexities of the issue. Housing desegregation, one pointed out, is not a magic bullet for equal opportunity. Another made clear that blacks remained more segregated from whites than Latinos or Asians. Here, at least, Cable's given us a chance to see how things stand today in greater detail than ever before.
White: blue dots
African American: green dots
Asian: red
Latino: orange
All others: brown

Consumer technology giant Apple may have reported first quarter earnings that exceeded market expectations, but the company's disappointing forward guidance spells trouble for its Asian suppliers, said analysts.
While shares of Apple's main contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision, camera-lens maker Largan and Korean chipmaker SK Hynix rose between 1 and 2 percent Wednesday following the earnings release, the bounce may prove to be short-lived.
"Suppliers are likely moving on the positive surprise in Apple's top line - but the company's outlook was dismal and that would put pressure on the suppliers," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst at Enderle Group told CNBC.
Apple reported fiscal second-quarter earnings of $10.09 a share on revenue of $43.60 billion, beating expectations of $10.00 per share on revenue of $42.33 billion, according to consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters.
(Read More: Apple Earnings Beat, Company Hikes Dividend )
For the third quarter, however, the company forecasts revenue of between $33.5 billion and $35.5 billion, well below the $38.25 billion Wall Street was expecting. Apple also expects its gross margin to continue to slide to between 36 percent and 37 percent from 37.5 percent currently.
"Apple's weaker margin trend will put even more pricing pressure on its Asia suppliers. We are cautious on Asia tech hardware companies that have high exposure to Apple," said Kirk Yang, Head of Asia Tech Hardware Research at Barclays.
Apple's CEO Tim Cook is a supply chain expert, so it is likely that he will target more aggressive pricing from suppliers, added Enderle.
With Apple's sales guidance well below consensus, this suggests that the company's new product launches such as the iPhone 5s and lower-priced iPhone will not be introduced until late in the third quarter, said Yang. Product launches typically provide an earnings boost to Apple suppliers.
(Read More: Apple Is Like Sony 20 Years Ago: Apple Bear )
This implies that the company's component makers are unlikely see a pickup until July-August, said analysts.
Steven Pelayo, Regional Head of Technology Research, Asia-Pacific at HSBC added that uncertainty over Apple's product line up is a concern for the supply chain.
"Apple is facing intense competitive environment and a product roadmap that looks like a rudderless ship right now so we're trying to figure out what direction it's going to go," he said.

cats & cats
23 comments:
my cat went through a similar issue, she licked all of the fur off of her belly and the insides of her legs, she looked like someone had skinned her! I took her to the vet numerous times, and they stated nothing was wrong, so I started doing some internet research and found out she most likely had anxiety. We recently moved and added an extra animal to the mix and this was her way of not adjusting well. The only thing that seems to help her is a pheromone collar. I get them at Petsmart, the brand i use is Sentry Calming Collar. I recommend trying it. Her hair started growing back immediately, and she looks so much better. The collars only last up to a month though, so i usually get the value pack, because she starts licking again once shes not wearing it for a few days. i also spray her down with hydrocortisone to stop the itching from hair growth.ReplyDelete
good luck. i hope this helps!
I am so in love with that skirt.ReplyDelete

Will it just be you and Josh? Or are the other band boys moving in too? hahaReplyDeleteReplies
just us! no roommates for right now!Delete
Our older cat licked all of the hair off of his belly when we got two new kittens. It's since (mostly) grown in again, but it was pretty bad for awhile. He never had any hairballs, either!ReplyDelete
Also, your outfit is fabulous. I keep eyeing that skirt in your shop, I just am not sure about how I would be in a high waisted skirt with my hips as wide as they are. Great color combo today, though!
Yay for cats on cats! Also, glad to hear that you found a new (and improved) place!ReplyDelete
I love mustard and navy together...super cute outfit! Also hooray for cats and cats and for moving closer to everything! Now you definitely will have to try Por Que No! I can't believe Mosey doesn't get hair balls. Where the heck does the hair go?ReplyDelete
That is so interesting about your kitty! I have never heard of that before. Glad he's ok, and he still looks adorable in all his pictures! (as do you of course :)ReplyDelete
My cat Kobe did that. She would lick all the fur off of her belly and the inside of her legs. She was a pretty tough, mean little shit- but once she started licking, she became a totally different cat! She would cuddle and purr and lounge instead of attack and hide. The vet said it was anxiety. Since her licking made her nice- we didn't care! After a few years though, she stopped licking. I think it was because of age though, she wasn't as limber and couldn't reach. She did get hairballs, pretty often too.ReplyDelete
If you are worried about his hair not moving through his system- you can get Royal Canine's Intense Hairball food. That is what we feed our kitty Matilda because she sheds a ton now that we live in a climate that has no real seasonal temperature changes. She sheds like crazy- and has the hairballs to match. We got her that food and now she only has a small one like once a month. The food has a ton of fiber in it so they pass the fur. Whoa TMI. Anyway.
adorable blouse and stunning skirt, love the cute kitty tooReplyDelete
Such a cute blouse and kitty! I love kitties!ReplyDelete
xoxo, Jjanga

my friends call my cat "sweater cat" for the absence of hair on her lower half haha. but it'll stay like this for a while then it'll grow back.ReplyDelete
I love love love your skirt + top!! PS Your kitten is so adorable!!ReplyDelete
My cat, Olive, has the same exact issue! She licks all the hair off of her sides. Our vet diagnosed it as anxiety, and we give her amitriptyline for it. I think it has helped quite a bit with her obsessive hair-removing, and it's only about $7/month from the pharmacy (it's cheaper for us to get it there than at the vet). Unfortunately, fighting to get that pill down her throat is going to cause ME to need anti-anxiety meds! Good luck with your stressed kitty :) I feel your pain.ReplyDelete
My 14 year old cat has done this since he was 5. He licks all the hair off his paunch and inside legs. Same thing as the others who have posted - vet didn't diagnose as anything in particular although he's a total mama's boy cat who had a lot of anxiety issues early on. But as long as he doesn't irritate the skin, I don't really care. He seems to like it and it's become habit, stress or not.ReplyDelete
Awww, your cat looks so huggable! I love the top too, but I kinda forgot about that when I saw the kitty!ReplyDelete
Aaw...what a cute outfit! I *love* that skirt color, and such a cute blouse!!ReplyDelete
OMG! You're so pretty! I was just surfing the web, and I just clicked on the link.. vanilla and lace are a few of my favourite things. Then I see a POP! of red hair! Haahaha.. I must check the rest of the blogs out. :)ReplyDelete
my cat was recently losing his hair around his legs because of his separation anxiety (yes, the vet even said it was probably from him being away from us when we went on vacation). it's slowly growing back in but he suggested pheromones. you plug them into an outlet and they're just natural hormones that make a cat feel calm. i haven't tried it yet since it seems like his hair is coming back but if it doesn't seem to be bothering you're cat and it's obviously not causing him any pain i'd say you're fine to just let him lick his hair away(:ReplyDelete
Your kitty is so adorable! Sorry to hear about the fur loss, but I guess if it doesn't present a major health issue then its not all that bad. Also loving the cat print blouse, and your skirt is gorgeous! The perfect color and shape! Have a happy monday :)ReplyDelete
Adorable outfit! And your kitty is so sweet! :)ReplyDelete

On Dec. 3, Robert A. Schlotzhauer, the 68-year old former owner of Falcon Helicopter Inc and Lee's Summit Turbine LLC of Lee's Summit, Mo., was sentenced by a U.S. District Court judge to pay a $500,000 fine, make $63,854 in restitutions, and spend 12 months in home detention for wire fraud and laundering money in a helicopter repair scheme.
The charges stem from a 2001 transaction where Schlotzhauer installed non-serviceable aircraft components from one wrecked McDonnell Douglas 369E helicopter aboard a second 369E that had previously crashed into the ocean and remained submerged for several hours. He then, according to the indictment, created false logbooks and other documents to conceal the true history of the aircraft and its parts, and sold the second aircraft with its illegal parts to Rainbow Air, a tour company that gives rides over Niagara Falls.
Eventually, Rainbow Air became suspicious of the aircraft's condition and called Schlotzhauer looking for answers. Schlotzhauer emailed Rainbow explaining the parts were from an aircraft that had experienced a hard landing. Rainbow, however demanded a $25,000 refund for the components. Schlotzhauer made the refund via a $31,000 cashier's check, falsely stating the listed payee was another person in order to conceal the ownership of the unlawful proceeds. When federal investigators descended upon Falcon Helicopter, they discovered false entries and relevant pages missing from documents related to the case.
On March 2008, Schlotzhauer pleaded guilty to wire fraud for lying to Rainbow about the history of the helicopter parts, and to laundering money in an attempt to cover up ownership via the cashier's check. The court ordered him to pay a $500,000 fine, make $63,854 in restitutions, shut down his business, surrender all repair-related FAA certificates, and refrain from any involvement in the business of maintaining, repairing, or rebuilding aircraft. The sentence did not include prison time, but Schlotzhauer was ordered to spend 12 months under house detention at his own expense.
"Schlotzhauer recklessly jeopardized the lives of pilots and passengers through this fraud scheme," said John F. Wood, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri. "In order to boost his own profits, he flouted federal requirements for inspecting and repairing the damaged helicopters that he sold. He now faces a stiff fine and the loss of his business, but we are just thankful there were no injuries or fatalities as a result of this scheme."

Cruz belts two homers as Orioles win slugfest
TORONTO -- When the Orioles officially signed Nelson Cruz to a one-year deal on Feb. 24, Spring Training was well underway. Cruz, who had declined a $14.1 million qualifying offer from the Texas Rangers, reportedly turned down two- and three-year deals during the winter, hoping for a four-year deal that never came. When the O's swooped in at $8 million, plus a few incentives, it was seen as a bargain deal, a low-risk, high-reward move.
Three weeks into the season, it's already paid off.View Full Game Coverage
TORONTO -- When the Orioles officially signed Nelson Cruz to a one-year deal on Feb. 24, Spring Training was well underway. Cruz, who had declined a $14.1 million qualifying offer from the Texas Rangers, reportedly turned down two- and three-year deals during the winter, hoping for a four-year deal that never came. When the O's swooped in at $8 million, plus a few incentives, it was seen as a bargain deal, a low-risk, high-reward move.
Three weeks into the season, it's already paid off.View Full Game Coverage
Cruz homered twice, including his seventh career grand slam as part of a six-run fifth inning that helped catapult the Orioles past the Blue Jays, 10-8, on Wednesday night. Baltimore connected for a season-high four homers in the offensive barrage, staving off the Jays, who hit three homers, for a series-evening win that puts the O's back at .500 on the season and their two-city road trip.
"They welcomed me really well and embraced me, which makes it so much easier for me," Cruz, who has a team-leading six homers and 21 RBIs, said of his first few weeks with his new club. "I feel like I've been here forever."
The most consistent force in the Orioles lineup, Cruz extended his streak to six consecutive games with a solo shot in the third inning. He then gave the Orioles their first lead of the night by clobbering reliever Todd Redmond's 2-1 sinker in the fifth, marking the 11th multi-homer night of his career.
"I don't look at it from that side," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of the investment in Cruz already paying off for his club. "I knew Nellie from when he first came up to the big leagues with us in Texas. We all know what he's capable of. He knows how much guys appreciate his attitude about everything and they're really pulling for him. ... He likes being a good teammate."
Cruz's power surge set the tone for a night full of positives for the Orioles' lineup. First baseman Chris Davis and catcher Matt Wieters chipped in solo shots, in the first and seventh innings respectively, as part of a double-digit hit night for the previously power-starved O's. Baltimore had four runs total in the 10 games entering Wednesday.
"It's awesome, I love watching these guys hit," said Orioles starter Chris Tillman, who was the beneficiary of all the offense. "As a starting pitcher, when they get going like that my only mindset is get back in the dugout as fast as I can so they can go back to work."
After Davis' early homer -- his second of the year -- was erased with the Blue Jays' six-spot off Tillman, the O's started chipping away at the deficit. Jonathan Schoop doubled and scored on Nick Markakis' single and Cruz went deep for the first time, off Blue Jays starter Dustin McGowan. The O's loaded the bases to start the fifth on Ryan Flaherty's walk, Schoop's hit and David Lough's hit-by-pitch, which was enough to chase McGowan in favor of Redmond. After Markakis popped up, Cruz sent a ball screaming into left field to give the O's a one-run lead.
"Look at Baltimore, they've got arguably the best offense in baseball, and they don't even have [Manny] Machado," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "[They were a] homer mill. You're up, 6-1, and you don't really feel good that early in the game because you know what those guys are capable of, and of course they came back."
Baltimore followed Cruz's slam up with a pair of singles from Davis and Jones and Wieters doubled in a run. Shortstop J.J. Hardy narrowly missed a homer, settling instead for a sacrifice fly to push the O's lead to three.
"That's what we need," Cruz said of the top-to-bottom production. "We were facing a really tough lineup on the other side, too. So we got to get as many across as we can. And that's what we did tonight. It wasn't pretty, but we got it done."
The same can be said for Tillman, who survived some early struggles -- including a six-run second inning -- to go 5 2/3 innings. Tillman, who allowed a trio of homers and was up to 50 pitches through two frames, was able to record another 11 outs to help bridge to the 'pen.
"In a lot of ways it might have been one of his best outings this year, the way we perceive it," Showalter said of Tillman, who allowed nine hits, six of which came in the second inning. "He doesn't get involved in ERA and whatever. He want to just give his team the chance to win. I came real close to taking him out there and I told [pitching coach Dave Wallace], let's see the first couple hitters and see how it goes and he came out with a little more stuff. He gave us some needed innings."
Using a steady diet of off-speed stuff, Tillman did an admirable job of keeping Toronto off the scoreboard after homers from Brett Lawrie and Jose Reyes, until Ryan Goins took him deep with one out into the sixth. Tillman exited after Melky Cabrera's two-out single and Ryan Webb recorded an out for the second consecutive night.
"I knew i didn't have it early on and hats off to Wietey to hanging in there with me," Tillman said. "I knew I had to pitch a little more off-speed than normal and I think it's big to be able to make an adjustment like that in-game. I'll take my hats off to the offense for putting up those two runs there, it kind of got me going a little bit."
Wieters pushed the lead back to three with a solo shot off J.A. Happ in the top of the seventh, but lefty Brian Matusz gave it right back on Josh Thole's two-out single. Matusz was replaced by righty Darren O'Day, who recorded the final out of the seventh -- stranding a pair of batters -- and navigated through the eighth before handing the ball off to closer Tommy Hunter.
Hunter got into some trouble in the ninth, loading the bases with one out. But the righty was able to get Jonathan Diaz to bounce into a game-ending double play to pick up his sixth save in seven chances.
"Assume the position and go along for the ride," Showalter said of his team's uneven first few weeks. "This is not a place to panic. It is what it is. These are very good hitters in the Major Leagues and we made some good pitches, too."

By CHUCK PLEINESS email@example.com; @wingsfrontman
DETROIT – Captain Henrik Zetterberg wasn't going to let the Detroit Red Wings consecutive trips to the postseason end on his watch.
The team's newest captain had 10 points over the Wings' season-best, season-ending, four-game winning streak to extend the Wings' visits to the playoffs for a 22nd consecutive season, which is the longest active in the four major sports.
'I think everyone did,' said Zetterberg when asked if he didn't want the streak to end under his watch. 'No one wanted to be a part of that, not making playoffs. A lot of guys have been here for a long time and we just wanted to give it another run here.'
The Wings' streak began in 1991.
'We want to play in the postseason,' Zetterberg said. 'It doesn't matter if we had been there 22 times or 21 times or three times in a row, we want to play playoff hockey.'
'Nobody wants to be a part of a streak like that breaking,' defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. 'It's good to keep that going and hopefully we can do some damage in the playoffs.'
Zetterberg, who was named captain prior to the start of the season to replace Nicklaus Lidstrom, had two goals in Detroit's 3-0 win over Dallas to clinch the seventh seed in the Western Conference.
'This time of year it seems his game gets better and better,' goalie Jimmy Howard said. 'He knows how to throw the team on his back and go to work.
'The urgency was there, we knew what was at stake,' Howard added. 'We've been playing playoff hockey for a while and for us to come into the last week and get the job done was really special. I feel great for Z.'
Zetterberg has two goals and eight assists over his last 10 games.
'This is why he's captain,' linemate Pavel Datsyuk said. 'He just played hard the whole season. When we needed, he stepped in and pulled the team.'
Being reunited with Datsyuk on a line, along with Justin Abdelkader, has also helped down the stretch.
'I don't think Z is an emerging leader, he's been a leader for a long time and Nick (Lidstrom) would tell you the same thing,' Wings coach Mike Babcock said. 'He's one of those guys who knows how to compete.
'A lot of people think it's Pavel and Z are about skill, (but) you saw (Saturday) how heavy they played and how determined they are,' Babcock continued. 'The best athletes, the best in any profession, are beyond determined and passionate about what they do and those guys set the example for our team and don't let us off the hook.'
Datsyuk assisted on all three goals Saturday had has two goals and six assists in the last three games.
'We got better as the year went on,' Zetterberg said. 'One thing we did all year was we work hard, we had a lot of new faces and guys that really hadn't played in the situation. We got better as the year went on, the special teams got better and that helps winning games.'
The Wings outscored their final four opponents, 15-3, giving them 56 points and a matchup with the Anaheim Ducks, which could began as early as Tuesday.
'We've gotten better,' Babcock said. 'I've said it all along and you guys don't believe me but we've continually gotten better. We feel that strongly as a group. We've gotten better defensively. We've finally got a way to play to allow the guys to be successful.'
The Wings were in a dogfight with Minnesota, Columbus and Dallas to grab one of the two remaining playoff spots in the Western Conference when the week began.
'That was the thought going into this final week, we knew we had to pull off a lot of wins just to be able to get in,' Kronwall said. 'With Pav and Hank, maybe the two best players in the game right now and Howie coming up big for us, we were able to pull this off.'


text: A recent wedding trend is for couples to ask me that their ceremony be an "unplugged" one. What does unplugged mean? It means that when I first come out to start the ceremony, I not only ask that the guests make certain that their cell phones are turned off (which I always do), but I also ask that all phones, cameras, and any recording devices be turned off and put away, adding that the bride and groom have asked that only their official photographer take pictures which they will gladly share after the ceremony.
