A formal union between the Catholic and Coptic Orthodox churches took place with the signing of the document Cantate Domino by a Coptic delegation at the Council of Florence on February 4, 1442. But, because this act was not supported in Egypt, it had no concrete results.
Catholic missionaries were first active among the Copts in the 17th century, with the Franciscans in the lead. A Capuchin mission was founded in Cairo in 1630, and in 1675 the Jesuits began missionary activity in Egypt. During the same century a number of lengthy but fruitless theological exchanges took place between Rome and the Coptic Church.
In 1741 a Coptic bishop in Jerusalem, Anba Athanasius, became a Catholic. Pope Benedict XIV appointed him Vicar Apostolic of the small community of Egyptian Coptic Catholics, which at that time numbered no more than 2,000. Although Athanasius eventually returned to the Coptic Orthodox Church, a line of Catholic Vicars Apostolic continued after him.
In 1824, under the mistaken impression that the Ottoman viceroy wished it to do so, the Holy See erected a Patriarchate for Coptic Catholics, but it existed only on paper. The Ottoman authorities permitted the Coptic Catholics to begin building their own churches only in 1829.
In 1895 Leo XIII re-established the Patriarchate and in 1899 he appointed Bishop Cyril Makarios as Patriarch Cyril II of Alexandria of the Copts. As Patriarchal Vicar Bishop Cyril had presided over a Catholic Coptic synod in 1898 which introduced a number of Latin practices. He became embroiled in controversy, and was asked by the Holy See to resign in 1908. The office remained vacant until 1947, when a new Patriarch was finally elected.
The offices of the Patriarchate are located in Cairo, but the largest concentration of Coptic Catholics has always been in upper Egypt. In recent times there has been some migration to other parts of the country. The church now has seven dioceses, all of them in Egypt.
Most candidates for the priesthood are trained at St. Leos Patriarchal Seminary in Maadi, a suburb of Cairo. It was founded in 1953 and had 52 students in 2006. More than 100 Coptic Catholic parishes administer primary schools, and some have secondary schools as well. The church maintains a hospital in Assiut, a number of medical dispensaries and clinics, and several orphanages.
There are no Coptic Catholic monasteries to rival the Coptic Orthodox monastic tradition. However, in 2006 there was an Egyptian province of the Franciscans dependent on the Patriarchate (58 priests, 12 brothers, four novices and 27 seminarians), along with three female religious orders: the Egyptian Sisters of the Sacred Heart (62 professed, 12 novices and 40 postulants), the Coptic Sisters of Jesus and Mary (44 professed, six novices and one postulant), and an Egyptian province of the Little Sisters of Jesus (seven professed, one novice).
Like their Orthodox counterparts, Coptic Catholics have begun to emigrate to western countries in larger numbers in recent years. There are now 11 communities in various parts of the world, each of them served by a priest: two in Italy, one in France, two in Canada, three in the United States, two in Australia, and one in Kuwait. In addition, the Archbishop of Beirut serves as Ordinary for Coptic Catholics in Lebanon.

After an afternoon without Farmville, Facebook appears to be back online.
Thursday's outage was the second in as many days. The social networking site was reported down across the country. Outages are rare for the Palo Alto-based company.
With 500 million users, we're sure somebody had a big life event to post, but couldn't.
Facebook users turned to their other favorite social networking site to vent their frustrations. A flurry of tweets flooded Twitter as people looked for a way to share themselves. Top trending topics on Twitter included "Facebook Isnt Working," "DNS failure," "Mark Zuckerberg" and "Service Unavailable."
Some of the sites most popular tweets poked fun at the perceived hysteria of a Facebook outage.
"While Facebook Isnt Working, Twitter will go over capacity, (and MySpace remains unused,) some Americans will finally meet their neighbors," wrote @liammalone.
"Facebook isnt working. What would happen if Twitter and Facebook weren't working at the same time? Where would we complain about it?" wrote @KourtneyJessica.
"Either Facebook is down or Mark Zuckerberg just set everything to PRIVATE," wrote @joeschmitt.
Earlier in the day, Facebook said it's "currently experiencing some site issues causing Facebook to be slow or unavailable for some users." A company spokesperson said they were working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
"Quickly" appeared to take about 45 minutes as users began to be able to use the site depending on where they were located and what browser they were using.
Facebook loaded slowly earlier in the day, but showed a "Network Error" message in the 1 p.m. hour in California.
Here's what you found during the outage:
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.
Early reports said the problem was with a third-party network provider.

6 Ways to Use Less Salt
Eat Fresh Food Often
Only a quarter of your sodium intake comes from the salt you add to food; the rest is from packaged products (sauces, soups, canned foods, and baked goods). This means the first step in creating a healthy recipe should be to start with whole, unprocessed foods. Use fresh vegetables, fish, chicken, meat, and beans whenever possible.
Increase Flavor Naturally
Bring out the natural sweetness in vegetable dishes by roasting or grilling them. For more intensity, finish with a flavored oil. Condiments like ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, and dips are sodium minefields, so use sparingly and experiment with spices and a variety of salt-free seasoning blends by Mrs. Dash or McCormick.
Read Nutrition Labels
If you are an adult age 50 or younger, try to trim your intake to 2,300mg of sodium or fewer a day. For those over 50, African-Americans, and others at risk of elevated blood pressure, aim for 1,500mg or fewer. Pull out those reading glasses and your calculator—check labels for sodium content and keep your daily target in mind.
Keep Track of Salt Usage
Use a measuring spoon when adding salt to a recipe. Start with 1/8 teaspoon and add more if you find you need it after tasting. Consider switching to kosher salt—it has less sodium per teaspoon than regular salt.
Salt Sensibly
Avoid adding salt to recipes if it doesn't contribute to flavor. For example, don't use when boiling pasta or rice. Sprinkle on salt when you've finished cooking your food, so you'll get the maximum impact. Give a grind of fresh black pepper a try.
Swap Salt for Other Ingredients
Balsamic vinegar (which also comes in varieties like cherry and fig), rice wine vinegar, and lemon or lime juice all bring out the savoriness in a dish. Garlic, ginger, fresh or dried herbs, spices, and grated lemon zest also wake up the flavor in foods.

>The most likely explanation for edema is a constrictive wet or dry suit cuff. Prolonged or repeated exposure to a tight wet suit cuff can produce swelling at the end of the extremity, which in this case is the hand. Even if you have worn the suit before, you may not have worn it long enough to get this effect. Something as simple as a new wristwatch can add compression around that area.
>It's important that new suits fit correctly and not too tightly. It is equally important that you can still fit comfortably into your old wet suit. Don't be surprised if you notice swelling in an extremity one or two hours after the dive. Cold water and wrist activity may add to a constrictive effect, but it takes a while for fluid to accumulate. It should resolve shortly, with no other symptoms. If the swelling persists for more than 24 hours you should see a physician to rule out other causes.

Panel Paintings Initiative
Old master paintings on wooden panelknown as panel paintingsare among the most treasured works of art in American and European collections. Yet many panel paintings pose difficult conservation challenges as their wooden supports warp and crack with age, and only a handful of international experts worldwide possess the experience and technical expertise to work on the most delicate cases. Today many of these individuals are approaching retirement, with few opportunities to train the next generation. In response, the Getty Foundation developed the Panel Paintings Initiative in partnership with the Getty Museum and the Getty Conservation Institute to ensure that a new corps of structural panel paintings conservators is in place before the current experts retire.
The initiative began with a needs assessment to identify the most significant collections of panel paintings, the current level of their care, the individuals who would benefit most from further training, and the number of conservators who would likely find employment in the field. The survey results provided a clear roadmap for the initiative, setting a goal of training up to 20 conservators.
The primary means for meeting this goal is grant support for intensive side-by-side training projects, whereby the current experts pass on the necessary hand skills, aesthetic judgment, and analytical tools through treatment of works of art of the highest significance that have complex conservation needs. Grant funding began with the highest priority, to "train the trainers;" that is, to develop the expertise of several advanced practitioners who were poised to become the new leaders in the field and to assume the training mantle. Our focus then shifted first to training mid-career conservators, who rotated among leading experts in order to develop their decision-making skills and gain exposure to a variety of approaches. Finally longer training residencies began for postgraduates, including selected participants from Central and Eastern Europe, who demonstrated promise in the area of structural conservation of panel paintings.
The training grants awarded to date have allowed participants to work on some of the most highly visible masterpieces in the history of Western art, including Hubert and Jan van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece (1432), Albrecht Dürer's Adam and Eve (1507), Pieter Breughel the Elder's Hunters in the Snow (1565), Peter Paul Rubens' Triumph of the Eucharist series (1626), and Giorgio Vasari's The Last Supper (1546), to name a few.
While the main focus of the Panel Paintings Initiative is to train the next generation of panel paintings conservators, the Foundation has also provided support for intensive training institutes and workshops, as well as the translation and online publication of a limited number of important historical texts. The training workshops complement hands-on training by focusing on the historic context of panel paintings, including the development of panel production and wood science and technology. The translation projects focus on translating into English several key texts that are critical to the field of panel paintings conservation and making them freely accessible through online publication.Grants Awarded: Descriptions of Getty-funded Panel Paintings projects

Sleep in Childhood Neurological Disorders is a rare book in that it captures one's interest on the very first page and sets a comfortable and unremitting pace until the final word of the final chapter. Each author has carefully chosen his/her subject material and succinctly summarizes the assigned topic such that the reader finds a finely tuned wealth of knowledge with something new in every chapter. Many of the commonly struggled with sleep disorders are addressed, defined, and then presented with material consistent with the latest literature on the subject. Disorders that may be common themes only to pediatric sleep specialists in tertiary care practices are also fully addressed, with key features of each disorder highlighted.
This book provides something for everyone who has an interest in pediatric sleep medicine, particularly for those whose practice includes the treatment of children with neurological pathology.
The first chapter immediately captivates the reader, beginning with the science of sleep, providing intriguing examples of the role of sleep in humans, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and other beings. The functions of sleep, sleep architecture, neuro-anatomy, and neurotransmitters are clearly explained; this sets the stage for the ensuing chapters. Subsequent chapters provide practical ways to evaluate children with sleep disorders, examples of sleep histories, and discussion of other assessment tools.
The fundamental disorders of restless legs syndrome, childhood parasomnias, narcolepsy, and circadian rhythm disorders are clearly defined along with the pathogenesis, identification, treatments, and—most importantly for the purpose of this book— how each disorder variably affects children with special needs.
Detailed attention is given to sleep in the context of epilepsy, neurodevelopmental disorders and children with brain tumors.

Immigration: Myths And Reality
Who is benefiting from America's tax dollars, when those "free loading� immigrants and illegal workers pay billions of dollars in federal and state taxes but never receive the benefits? How can immigrants "take away jobs from Americans� when they are the ones who create them?
Commentary: On Immigration
Where are you from? Me, my name is Shemma Stevens and my parents immigrated to America years ago.
There are many misconceptions that immigrants are a drain on the U.S economy but many studies have confirmed that the opposite is true. Even undocumented workers also called "illegal immigrants� contribute more than their fair share to the country stated Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve Board Chairman, in Congressional testimony.
Statements such as "American culture is being transformed,� the "infrastructure of our nations ideals are crumbling,� "they are here to mooch off of our government� and to "live an American life on our tax dollars,� are on the sum, false.
Consider the results from a study, "Chicago's Undocumented Immigrants," by Chirag Mehta, Nik Theodore, Iliana Mora and Jennifer Wade, Center for Urban Economic Development:
Out of an estimated 220,000 undocumented immigrants living the Chicago metro area, "the consumer expenditures by this group generate more than 31,000 jobs in the local economy and contribute $5.45 billion annually to the gross regional product,� the study found.
"The economic impact of undocumented workers goes well beyond the local economy,� states the study. "Despite the common perception that immigrants utilize government benefit programs without paying taxes, the survey found that nearly 70% of all undocumented workers paid taxes. The same data also suggests that immigrants did not claim any tax refunds for which they were eligible.�
The study also added: "According to a report prepared in 1990, undocumented immigrants paid $547 million in Illinois state tax, while the national aggregate contribution equaled $7 billion. Surprisingly, The Urban Institute also found that undocumented immigrants contributed a national total of $2.7 billion to Social Security and another $168 million to unemployment insurance taxes, both programs they will be unable to access because of their legal status.�
These contributions amount to the outright donations to the nation's economy. In addition to the to the mentioned tax donations, undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars on state tax when they purchase appliances, furniture, clothes and other goods. This adds to the falsehood that undocumented workers come here to get on welfare and utilize other government services. According to studies an overwhelming majority of undocumented workers do not receive any assistance under government safety net programs.
Another widespread belief is that "immigrants take away jobs from Americans�. This is a big hypocritical lie, in order to prove this as a lie; we can simply conduct an eyeball test. Look around, drive by the fields where immigrants labor in stooped 12 hour shifts for less than minimum wage pay. Here, do you see any lines of Americans clamoring to be hired? No. Do you see any white folks suing growers for "reverse discrimination� for not allowing them the opportunity to be exploited shamelessly? No. The same applies to the other industries that exploit these workers primarily by paying less than minimum wage. Do you see Americans fighting for the opportunity to work minimum wage jobs? I think not!
A recent U.S Department of Labor study noted that the notion that immigrants take jobs away from American workers is the most "persistent fallacy about immigration in popular thought.� The reality is that undocumented workers/immigrants create jobs. A study showed that as a result of the immense spending by undocumented workers (their purchasing power in Illinois alone is $18.7 billion, according to Greenspan) and by the founding of small businesses by this group, they create jobs. In Chicago alone, as already shown, undocumented workers generated 31,000 jobs in the local economy.
And contrary to the myth "those immigrants are only in it for the money�, they also bring with them to America many things which America claims to value, such as solid family structure. Studies show that children of immigrants are more likely to be raised in a two parent household than are children of native born Americans.
So tell me; who is mooching on whom? When those accused of mooching more than pay their way in America. Who is benefiting from America's tax dollars, when those "free loadingâ€? immigrants and illegal workers pay billions of dollars in federal and state taxes but never receive the benefits? How can immigrants "take away jobs from Americansâ€? when they are the ones who create them?Â
I am very confused and I wonder what the rest of you think about this; because in my opinion Immigrants built America.

Flu season is quickly approaching. While many of us are making plans to get vaccinated, we should be talking with a physician to determine if it's time to update our other immunizations as well.
"Immunizations are not just for kids," says Dr. Ramaraja Yalavarthi, internal medicine and geriatrics physician on staff at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox. "Regardless of age, we all need immunizations to keep us healthy. With time, immunity from childhood vaccines can wear off and you may be at risk for new and different diseases."
The vaccines adult's need depend on everything from age and lifestyle to high-risk medical conditions, travel plans, and which shots you've had in the past. Throughout an adult's life, immunizations protect against:
• Seasonal influenza (flu)
• Hepatitis B infection
• Pneumonia
• Shingles
• Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough)
Other vaccinations adults may require include those that protect against human papillomavirus (HPV), which can cause certain cancers, Hepatitis A, meningococcal disease, chickenpox (varicella), and measles, mumps and rubella.
"As adults, we must continue to maintain our own health because our families and loved ones depend on us to care for them and to teach them how to care for themselves," says Dr. Yalavarthi. "Immunizations are an important step in preventing illness and staying healthy."
Which Vaccinations do I need?
Find out Monday, Sept. 30. Dr. Join Dr. Ramaraja Yalavarthi, internal medicine and geriatrics physician, for a discussion on the risk associated with attracting flu, pneumonia, shingles, Hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough as an adult; how you can protect yourself with and without immunization; and where you can go to get vaccinated. Each attendee will receive an adult immunization schedule. This free program will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Silver Cross Hospital Conference Center, Pavilion A, 1890 Silver Cross Blvd., New Lenox. Complimentary valet parking available. Light refreshments will be served. Register to attend at www.silvercross.org or by calling 1-888-660-HEAL (4325).

He participated in a psychiatry residency at Stony Brook University in New York and also an internal medicine residency at Louis Weiss Memorial Hospital in Chicago. He served on the Board of Trustees for the Chicago Medical Society and two terms as President of the South Cook County Branch. In addition, he has served as a delegate for the American Medical Association and Illinois State Medical Society and also on the Board of Trustees for the India Medical Association of Illinois.

text: We got a chance to check out the picoprojector that Texas Instruments is working on, both in a mobile phone and as a standalone device. The picture that it puts up isn't amazing, but you wouldn't be watching HD movies using this thing anyways. It could be useful for business travellers who want to do easy presentations as well as regular consumers who want to share short videos and pictures with their friends. There are no concrete plans to actually put this tech into, you know, devices you can buy, but hey, they're working on it so you've gotta assume they plan to get paid for it at some point.
