If you were trying to foster ethical leadership in your organization, could anything make it "contagious?"
For starters, labeling it as "ethical leadership" might not take you as far as you'd like. How often do people say they are on board, "get it" and don't need more? While they might be willing to read about or take courses in strategic or global leadership, for example, many equate ethical leadership with what they learned growing up; if they need to spend more time talking about it, it might look like they are deficient in Golden Rule 101.
That's the problem with blinders leaders, high potentials and any of us can have about our own ethical development — why it can suddenly be hard to give voice to values (because we've never thought about a potential conflict that suddenly surfaces) or why decisions are made weighing only legal and financial consequences (without noticing the potential for unintended ethical consequences) or why we need to be right.
When we talk about ethics and leadership in organizations, we need to translate it into values and behaviors we want visible in the culture that in turn build off a company's values. While we say that ethical leadership encompasses the highest personal and organizational standards that vagueness creates an abstraction where everyone "gets it" in theory, and can overlook it in practice.
Our language sets up creating the norm of what the organization stands for — and the behaviors supporting that — which then demystifies and brings the type of leadership we want to see and cultivate into day-to-day reality. If those qualities are talked about in examples and stories when the CEO meets with the board, direct reports and others; if they are linked to business success, reinforced in informal and formal mentoring programs, meaningfully incorporated into performance reviews, and play a role in why people get recognized, promoted or let go: the norm can be imitated and then owned.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is increasingly being reinforced in organizations as a way to develop leaders and help them succeed. (See Daniel Goleman's What Makes a Leader.) Reinforcing EQ reinforces attributes important in ethical leadership so it is a win-win.
Some resources for thinking about how ideas can take hold in a culture include Contagious: Why Things Catch On by Jonah Berger (video above) and the books that fueled his thinking: Gladwell's The Tipping Point and the Heath brothers' Made to Stick.
Applying that to what could make ethical leadership contagious involves first looking at what natural advantages exist in your culture to tap into to help ideas take hold. Then, what ideas might offer perceived value. For example, creating a special leadership forum site with links to good articles, blogs, book reviews and news stories fosters leadership development that reinforces the norm you want, with triggers to keep the subject top of mind, while saving leaders'/potential leaders' time in finding useful information they can apply and share with others. Launch it with a sense of exclusivity: perhaps needing a password. Enlist the support of admired leaders in the organization to make reference in meetings to an article on the site they liked, and find other ways to have the site talked about and positioned as a place high potentials go for useful leadership tips. Who wouldn't want to be considered "high potential"?
How do the values and attributes of ethical leadership become contagious in organizations?
They are modeled by the board, CEO and other leaders. They are talked about and interrelated with business and personal success. They are mentored and cultivated, enmeshed in the culture's stories and allied with how people feel/see they can make a difference. They are linked to reducing stress. They are connected to what stakeholders' value, attached to what it takes to belong and reinforced throughout the organization.
Thanks, Gael. Your writing is not only insightful, but practical. I like your integrative style with other disciplines. After all, ethics hits them all.

We recently had Gael O'Brien speak to us at the Network of Enterprising Women and she gave an outstanding talk on ethics in the workplace and how we might meet it head on. I highly recommend listening to her or inviting her to speak at your venue.

Whether you're looking for scenic beauty, or perhaps you want to learn more about how our region was developed in times gone by, why not take a weekend and follow the trail of the old Delaware …
Whether you're looking for scenic beauty, or perhaps you want to learn more about how our region was developed in times gone by, why not take a weekend and follow the trail of the old Delaware and Hudson (D&H) Canal? You'll be exploring the remnants of our country's early industrial and transportation history—the story of how, early in the 19th century, two clever entrepreneurs, the Wurts brothers, were able to bring Pennsylvania's black gold—anthracite coal—to New York City. What they did was critical in our country's development and would power the young nation's industrial revolution, providing the fuel that gave an industrial North its edge over the agrarian South in the Civil War.
The canal, built by William and Maurice Wurts between 1825 and 1828, was connected to PA coal country via John B. Jervis's "gravity" engine railroad over Northeast Pennsylvania's Moosic Mountains. Starting in Honesdale, PA, the canal followed the Lackawaxen River in Wayne and Pike counties, crossed the Delaware River at Lackawaxen, and followed in the shadow of the Delaware River to Port Jervis, NY. Here, it turned northward along the Neversink River, reaching the mighty Hudson at Roundout, NY near Kingston, where the coal was put on barges chained together and, powered by steam tugs, floated downriver.
Two interesting Pennsylvania towns grew up around the canal—Honesdale and Hawley. The gravity railroad brought coal from Carbondale to Honesdale, where canal boats loaded up before proceeding east to the Hudson River. Today, the Wayne County Historical Society (WCHS) is housed in the old canal company's office building in Honesdale. The town is named after Philip Hone, the first president of the D&H Canal Company (1825-1826), who soon became the mayor of New York City (1826-1827).
Between Honesdale and Hawley, a series of locks allowed canal boats to navigate around rough waters and raised areas of the river. The boats were pulled by mules led by young children, some only seven or eight years old, trudging along the raised canal towpath that ran along the water's edge. The WCHS is currently restoring parts of the old towpath and a historic farmhouse, circa 1820, located at Lock 31 between White Mills and Hawley. (The lockkeeper's house no longer stands.)
In Hawley, another large boat basin, the site of the current Bingham Park, served as a depot for another railroad that brought Pennsylvania Coal Company coal from Pittston to Hawley, and then onward via the canal to New York. The town was named after the company president Irad Hawley. In time, that railroad had passenger service west to Dunmore, PA. One of those railroad cars now sits at the public library next to the park.
At first, boats crossed the Delaware River at Lackawaxen, PA by means of a slack water dam, which allowed them to navigate across the river by slowing its flow. However that irritated the raftsmen, who relied on the river's flow to float their timber rafts downstream. So in 1848, the canal was routed over the Delaware River by means of an aqueduct, while the logs tumbled below. Today, you can drive your car through the old aqueduct via Roebling Bridge in Lackawaxen.
While other canals were usually financed by the states, for example the great Erie Canal, the D&H was the result of private investment. It was one of the largest corporations of its time.
Progress, of course, was the enemy of the canal, which was eventually replaced by a railroad that hauled the coal to New York City. The canal was closed in 1898, and soon thereafter, the Roebling Bridge carried automobiles over the Delaware River.

There are several services throughout the day at Bhaktivedanta Manor to which everyone is welcome to attend. Aside from these times, Bhaktivedanta Manor building is open daily from 4.30am—9.30pm for pilgrims and guests.
4.30-4.55am – Mangal Arati
Mangala-arati is the first temple ceremony of the day. It begins at 4:30am and is considered mangala, or 'auspicious' for all who participate. The devotees sing beautiful prayers glorifying the spiritual master and the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.
4.55-5.15am – Tulasi-arati
This ceremony is right after mangala-arati. Tulasi is a sacred plant which is very dear to the Lord, and worship of Tulasi-devi is most beneficial. Tulasi-arati is performed like this: The devotees sing prayers to Tulasi-devi while one devotee offers her arati with incense, ghee lamp, and flowers. When the song is finished, the devotees circumambulate Tulasi-devi and offer her water by pouring some drops at her root.
7.00-7.05am – Deity Greeting
After the Deities have been worshiped in private, They give Their audience (darshana) to the devotees and the public, who then can see the shrine and offer worship and prayers. This is accompanied by a recorded singing of the Govindam prayers of the Brahma-samhita. The priest offers a short arati ceremony with ghee lamp, incense, chamara, and, in warm weather, a peacock fan.
7.10am – Guru-Puja
At this time, as members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness we offer our obeisances to Srila Prabhupada as the instructing guru for all devotees. We are eternally indebted to him for single-handedly bringing Krishna to the Western world and thus giving everyone the opportunity to become a lover of God.
During the guru-puja, the devotees sing prayers glorifying the spiritual master and offer flower petals and obeisances at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada.
7.30am – Srimad-Bhagavatam Class
After all the singing and dancing the devotees sit down and listen to a lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam. The speaker reads a verse and Srila Prabhupada's explanation of it, and then elaborates on the topics discussed there. At the end of the class, there are usually questions or comments. Thus an interesting and enlightening discussion takes place.
12.30-12.55pm – Raj Bhoga Arati
The raja-bhoga-arati follows the noon offering of food to the Deities. It lasts for about 25 minutes. The priest offers incense, ghee lamp, water, cloth, flowers, camara, and (in warm weather) also a peacock fan.
*Due to weddings on Saturdays, the facility for darshan (during this arati) is restricted. Single file queuing is likely and you will only see the Deities for a few moments.
4.20-4.30pm – Dhupa Arati
This arati lasts for 10 minutes. The priest offers incense, flowers, camara, and (in warm weather) also a peacock fan. Food offered to the Deities is usually fruits.
*Due to weddings on Fridays, the facility for darshan (during this arati) is restricted. Single file queueing is likely and you will only see the Deities for a few moments.
6.00pm- 7.00pm – Bhagavad-Gita Class
Conducted in a similar manner to the morning Bhagavatam class, evening Bhagavad-gita class draws in congregation members as well as the residents.
7.00-7.25pm – Sandya Arati
This is also known as Gaura-arati. The devotees sing Sri Gaura-arati–a joyful song glorifying Lord Chaitanya and His associates. It lasts for about 25 minutes.
9.00-9.10pm – Shayan Arati
The final arati of the day allows all the devotees to have a last opportunity to see the Deities and offer their prayers.
9.30pm – Temple closes
Please note that due to weddings on certain Friday afternoons, Saturday mornings and Saturday afternoons, the facility for darshan is restricted. Single file queueing is likely and you will only see the Deities for a few moments.

I awake this morning in Astoria, Queens where I am visiting my son, Sean. One of our daily activities is taking Sean's dog, Zeke, out for a walk.
One of our walking destinations is Astoria Park which lies on the banks of New York City's East River.
There is a beautiful view of the island of Manhattan, the Bronx and the East River Arch and the Triboro brides whose supporting towers are based on either side of the park.
East River Arch Bridge
This East River Bridge and its viaduct approaches completed the direct connection via New York City between the Pennsylvania and New Haven railroad systems and between the New England states and the states lying west and south of the Hudson River.
The bridge was finished and dedicated to the transportation service of the country in 1917.
From plaque commemorating the construction of the bridge
General Slocum Disaster
Astoria was the scene of the burning of the vessel, General Slocum, which prior to September 11, 2001, had the highest death toll of any disaster in New York City History.
"On the morning of June 15,1904, the steamboat General Slocum caught fire in the East River with approximately 1,300 people on board, including many children. In the course of 20 minutes an estimated 1021 people died. Prior to September 11, 2001, the burning of the General Slocum had the highest death toll of any disaster in New York City History.
The triple-decker wooden side paddler was built in 1891 and named after Henry Warner Slocum (1827 – 1894), a Union Army general who later represented the City of Brooklyn in Congress. Saint Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church, which was located on Manhattan's Lower East Side and served primarily German immigrants, chartered the ship for their 17th annual excursion to the Locust Grove Picnic Ground on Eaton's Neck, Long Island.
Wearing their Sunday best, the passengers boarded the General Slocum at its Third Street dock, and at abvout 9:40 a,m, the ship headed up the East river. As the band played, people danced on the deck and passerby waved from the shore. When the ship reached Astoria, onlookers waved frantically because smoke was billowing from the portholes. Initially. the passengers assumed the smoke was coming from the kitchen, and although a few crewmen were aware of the fire, they did not alert the captain. With the exception of the Captain and the chief engineer, the 35 man crew lacked experience and had never conducted a fire drill.
Although the crew did not sound an alarm, many passengers jumped from the boat while it passed through Hell Gate, taking their chances in New York's most turbulent channel rather than remain on board. Unfortunately the majority of the ship's life jackets proved worthless because the material then used for buoyancy, cork, had turned to dust over time. The life preservers actually absorbed after, and the passengers who wore them were pulled underwater. Hundreds of bodies floated in the ship's wake and washed up on Astoria's shoreline.
Just as the General Slocum passed Randall's island, the smoke below deck gave way to massive flames. Only then did the captain receive word of the blaze. He had no choice but to beach the General Slocum on North Brother Island and the ship raced to shallow water. Finally the crew tried to fight the blaze, but the fire hoses burst under the pressure. A dozen tugs, two fire boats, a police boat, and more than a hundred other vessels joined in the rescue effort. Some of the rescue ships themselves caught fire while trying to get people off the General Slocum. In fifteen minutes the Slocum had burned to the waterline.
President Theodore Roosevelt appointed a Commission of Investigation, which determined that a number of casual factors led to the General Slocum incident. They noted specific organizational and leadership failings within the Steamboat Inspection Service,the agency of the United States government specifically created to prevent such tragedies. The Service had checked the General Slocum five weeks before the disaster. The inspectors certified the 13-year-old lifeboats as "up to date and of good quality." They did not examine the fire pump and hoses, nor did they realize that all six lifeboats were stuck to the ship by a thick coat of paint.
In 1905, the city dedicated a fountain in Tompkins Square Park in remembrance of those who died in the General Slocum disaster. Every year a ceremony is held at the fountain to honor the victims. Although New York has changed immensely over the past century, ferries ansd ships still play an important role in the city's daily life. Since 1946, the U.S. Coast Guard has been responsible for maritime safety, employing nearly 500 uniformed and civilian personnel in inspection duties and more thean 100 as accident investigaters."

Butterscotch and Damien – Pets of the Week!
Pets are like little members of the family. They add spice and life to any household, and they're even said to lower blood pressure. I dote on my cats all the time, and I'd love to find a home for some of our furry friends who don't have someone to spoil them.
Unfortunately there are a lot of pets out there who don't have the luxury of having a loving home and they're sent to the Humane Society. They're taken great care of, but these pets would much rather be in a home environment. This is where you come into play!
May I present our pets of the week. If you'd like to see them in person or get more information on these pets or any other pets that the Humane Society has, check them out online here or call 940-855-4941. They're located at 4360 Old Iowa Park Road in Wichita Falls.
Butterscotch is pretty awesome, just look at her photo! She's an adult, female Greyhound mix, she's been spayed, heartworm tested, has all of her shots, and is microchipped. She's a mostly indoor dog, and she needs lots of love.
Damien is one cool cat. He's an adult, male domestic medium hair cat, is neutered, heartworm tested, has all of his shots, and is microchipped. He's a sweet cat but wouldn't do well in a household with small children, but if you have a quiet home that has room for a furry friend, he's your guy.

The Loveless
The evolution of the road-rebel is brought to the screen in this directorial debut from Kathryn Bigelow (Near Dark, The Hurt Locker). Technically, this is the film that also introduces Willem Dafoe and has him as the star amongst an unusual '80s cast. I say unusual because you have a blend of actors who've made a decent name for themselves by '82 and ones who definitely show promise in the film, and yet this was their only role. Some were from Georgia, where the film is set, so I guess it makes sense that, for the film's simplicity, actors who normally would have been extras were used for key roles. What satisfied me the most about this film was (a) being aware that a woman directed/wrote it, and (b) it has a slow plot that forces you to stop looking for action and absorb all the messages and scarce dialogue within it.
Willem Dafoe plays Vance—a young biker with dirty fingernails and sensational tomcat essence who is adored by several passing ladies. We see him solo at first, marveling at the blacktop and defined only by it and his Harley. He and his buddies are on their way to Daytona and have stopped in a small Georgian town to repair one of their member's bikes. Without the harsh juxtaposition between this group and the locals, I don't think the film's message would be as clear. Both the townspeople and the bikers have a uniform—one pastels and the other leather. Seeing the differences between the two made me expect a war - which eventually does come in the film's climax, but not as I expected it. Many people found the film quite boring, but I'm sure they missed the subtleties that really make it a wonderful debut. For instance, Vance's status as the ringleader is evident in his manner and dress. He doesn't exactly respect the locals, nor does he expect it from them. On the shoulder of his leather jacket are silver stars, like a general. The men he rides with are not exactly his friends, but rather people he met while in prison. The only thing they share is the love of a beautiful automobile. Without their quest to cause havoc on the way to the largest roadster gathering, all sense of brotherhood would be lost.Continue Reading

But I'd say to any would-be speaker: Take any opportunity you can to practice on video, even if it's on your own. You don't need to practice on video every time, but it's a great aid to the speaker, and easier than ever to do. Here are my reasons you should consider adding video practice to your speaker preparations:
- You'll see whether you actually look as nervous as you feel. One of the most striking experiences my trainees have in our sessions is learning that they don't, in fact, look as nervous as they feel...in their opinion and in the views of others. After all, fear is a feeling, not an expression--at least, not all the time. It's a real confidence-builder to find that out.
- You can see yourself. It's the one thing a speaker can't do while she's speaking. Here is what your audience sees.
- You can review over and over. The actual act of speaking is the work of a moment, but video lets you practice and go back to your hiccups and hesitations, as well as your fine successes, with the goal of eradicating bad habits and building better ones. Figure out what to keep and what to expel from your repertoire of skills.
- You can see your visual "ums": Visual ums work the same way as verbal ones, as a pause to give you time to think. But they involve an inadvertent visual--you look away from the audience, or up into the sky, or at the ground--while you are thinking. In most cases, speakers aren't aware they're using this tactic, unless they see it on video.
- You can hear and see your verbal ums. Video's great for capturing the minor speech disfluencies you may not notice while you're speaking, such as ums, uhs, or other repetitive phrases and breaks. The recording also will help you recall what you were thinking of in that moment, so you can break down the process and come up with better alternatives.
- You can find out how you gesture--or don't. If you haven't focused on your gestures, you may not realize that they're out of sight of the audience--below the level of the lectern, say, or out of camera range if you are on television. Likewise, you may be gesturing too much, which aids the fluency of your speech, but may make you look like a windmill. Or you may not be gesturing at all, or having trouble with where to put your hands. Only a video feedback session will tell.
- No one likes how they look, but you can learn from it. Even professionals who are on-camera every day don't like how they look and sound, so join the club. But learn from your video presence. Are you projecting well? Holding your body still and with good posture? Are your hair/outfit/face/jewelry distracting from or enhancing your words? Any time you are recorded on video, you'll learn something.
- Don't be surprised if you do wind up on video someday: With the explosion in online video viewing, you may well be called upon in your work to do an interview for posting on the web, or a media interview. Why not be ready for anything? Your video presence requires different skills than does an in-person speaking session, and practice will help you learn the difference.
- It's easy, and often free: Can't afford training? You can still practice on video on your own. Use one of the inexpensive Flip video cameras, use a web camera built into your laptop, or practice by calling your friends and family on a web-based phone service like Skype. Ask your friends to wield a Flip camera unobtrusively while you speak in public.

Again this year the 30k trail course uses the entire 8k course and adds a trip up to Fitton Green Natural Area for some awesome views. It also incorporates the scenic Mulkey Creek trail, as well as the new Amy's trail and Crestmont Land Trust trails. The course is challenging due to the hills, but the great views and nice trails are worth the effort. The 8k trail run remains the same challenging course of mostly hills and a few flat stretches in Bald Hill Park, with about 1.4 miles of paved path and 3.6 miles of dirt trails. The noncompetitive 2mi run/walk will be almost entirely on paved paths. The ¼ mi. kids run starts out paved and ends on dirt at the finish line.
The overall male and female winners and the top three in each age group will receive awards/certificates.
There will be three aid stations on the 30k and one aid station on the 8k. All will be serving water and sports drinks. The Fitton Green aid station (passed twice) will also have a buffet of ultra race snacks. The finish will be stocked with fresh fruit and other great refreshments.
Most of the trails in the Corvallis area are maintained by volunteers from groups like Greenbelt Land Trust, the Mary's River Chapter of the Sierra Club, the Boy Scouts, and many others.
Proceeds of this event benefit the Greenbelt Land Trust Trail Fund. This fund helps purchase raw materials and equipment used for trail construction and maintenance by the volunteers who keep our trails safe and passable for users.

The rate at which corals absorb calcium from seawater to calcify their hard skeletons — and thus grow — has declined dramatically in the last two decades and signs point to manmade greenhouse gas emissions as the culprit, according to a study of samples from Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
Researchers with the Australian Institute of Marine Science looked at the skeletal records of porites corals collected over the years at 69 reefs along the 1,600-mile-long Great Barrier Reef. Those corals, some 400 years old, showed that calcification declined by 13 percent between 1990 and 2005.
"The data suggest that such a severe and sudden decline in calcification is unprecedented in at least the past 400 years," the researchers stated in the study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Science.
A reef expert not involved in the study described it as "very important." In a commentary posted on newsvine.com for msnbc.com, John Bruno added that "the findings are frankly pretty scary."
"Slower growth might not seem like a big problem, but reef scientists are concerned that this will exacerbate the impacts of other threats to coral reefs," said Bruno, an associate professor of marine ecology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "For example, it will slow the vertical growth of corals, making it harder for them to keep up with rising sea levels.
"It could also slow recovery from other disturbances such as coral bleaching episodes and destructive storms," Bruno added. Bleaching occurs when corals expel the organisms living inside that create the colors found on reefs.
The study's authors themselves wrote that "precipitous changes in the biodiversity and productivity of the world's oceans may be imminent" given how central coral reefs are to marine ecosystems.
Changes tracked via skeletal rings
The researchers sampled porites coral, which can grow over centuries into massive boulders. Porites also lay down annual growth rings, making it possible to compare specific years to water temperature records and other data.
Several potential causes were ruled out by the researchers, among them sewage and other runoff since many samples were originally far from the coast. Disease was also ruled out because the samples were all from corals that had been healthy.
That, they wrote, left "two most likely" factors, both tied to carbon dioxide emissions: warming sea temperatures and more acidic oceans as CO2 lowers the pH levels of the seas.
The researchers noted that their findings confirm lab experiments and computer models predicting negative impacts of rising carbon dioxide on corals.
"If temperature and carbonate saturation are responsible for the observed changes, then similar changes are likely to be detected in the growth records from other regions and from other calcifying organisms," they warned.
How fast can coral adapt?
Bruno noted that "we will almost certainly see this problem grow over the next few centuries" due to greenhouse gas emissions. "The only questions are by how much, how quickly corals can acclimate to climate change and what the broader impacts will be."
Bruno warned that while corals are not widely visible their role is critical. "Corals create the physical structure that thousands of other species depend on," he said. "They play a role analogous to trees that create forests. When corals die, so do the fish and invertebrate animals that live on reefs."

The members of Ravens Nest No. 1 have been there throughout the Baltimore Ravens' tumultuous 2012 season, cheering their beloved football team on from their section of the Main Street Tower in Bel Air.
Sunday evening, however, they will be cheering the Ravens on from their seats in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, as their team takes on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.
"Here's to the Ravens and the Ravens Nest No. 1 travel team," Nest President Milton Skopinski said Friday evening while toasting a group of Nest officers and members who gathered at the Tower to discuss details of the trip.
Most members plan to leave Thursday and drive to New Orleans in a caravan over two days, and then stay in various hotels around The Big Easy. The game will be played Feb. 3.
The Nest is made up of about 150 members, who live in Harford and Baltimore counties. It is one of about 30 Ravens Nests around the state, dedicated to providing fan support to the Ravens and raising funds for organizations in their communities.
Ravens Nest No. 1 has supported multiple organizations in Harford County, including providing scholarships to Harford County Public Schools students.
The group also meets on the second Thursday of each month.
"My Monday mornings rise and fall with how the Ravens do," member Kathi Smero said Friday night.
About 40 members are attending this year's Super Bowl.
Members present Friday included Smero, Sandy Coho, Milton and Kathy Skopinski, Pat Skebeck, Sue Perouty, Kim Cavanaugh and her companion, Mark Hunt III.
Dave and Beth Rooney, members and residents of Havre de Grace, were also scheduled to attend Friday's meeting, but couldn't attend.
Of the group present Friday, only one, Hunt, had the pleasure of attending Super Bowl XXXV in 2001, when the Ravens defeated the New York Giants in Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla.
"It's why I'm going back this year," the Glen Arm resident said. "It's that much fun; it's definitely a bucket list item."
He received his ticket to that first Super Bowl through his employer. Highlights of the game included a rendition of "America the Beautiful" by the late singer Ray Charles, and flyovers by the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels and a U.S. Air Force Stealth bomber.
Hunt said anyone who has the opportunity to see their home team play in the Super Bowl should take it.
"A lot of teams have never been," he said.
Admittance won't be cheap, though – Nest members are paying about $2,100 dollars per ticket.
"A lot of people in this group have given up a lot of things to go to this game," Milton Skopinski said.
It will, however, be worth it. Nest members can look forward to a number of Super Bowl-related activities this year in New Orleans, including a massive party scheduled to take place in a park near the Superdome before the game.
Ravens fans will be led on a walk to the stadium by a jazz band decked out in purple.
"It's going to be a purple parade walking that last mile to the stadium," Coho said.
One Nest member will only pay face value for her ticket, which is about $800. Skebeck won that opportunity through a Ravens lottery of Personal Seat License holders.
The Fallston resident was also watching the Ravens live at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., as they defeated the New England Patriots last week for the American Football Conference championship.
Skebeck traveled with a friend, Peg Goodson. Their tour bus was parked in row 52 of the stadium lot – the same number of retiring linebacker Ray Lewis, the MVP of the Ravens' last Super Bowl.
"It was awesome," she recalled. "We had a great time."
Her fellow Nest members were back at the Tower, watching the conference championship in their reserved spot.
Skopinski said some members had decided they would go to the Super Bowl, "win or lose."
Once the Ravens obtained a comfortable lead by the second half, the members relaxed.
"We could actually enjoy a victory before the final gun," Skopinski said.
He said the group members were "ecstatic, could not hold ourselves together," after the Ravens achieved victory.
Smero suggested Friday that the Patriots' defeat of the Ravens last year, denying them a shot at the Super Bowl, could have been a form of divine intervention.
"What's the saying, 'God doesn't give you what you want, He gives you what you need?' " she asked. "He gave us New Orleans."

New TTUSD director of food services strives to improve school meals
TAHOE/TRUCKEE – Kat Soltanmorad dove head first into her role as director of food services for the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District in August and has been described as a "whirling dervish" in the district offices and school kitchens. She's been working aggressively on the district's goals to increase the appeal and nutritional value of school breakfasts and lunches while reducing waste and balancing the department's budget, which has been operating in the red.
Soltanmorad was the top pick of 12 candidates vying for the job.
Soltanmorad, a registered dietician, was most recently living in Southern California where she was nutrition coordinator for the Orange County Department of Education, responsible for the nutrition and health programs for seven school districts and 80 schools.
She and her husband were excited to return to Tahoe, where her husband grew up and they've spent a lot of time since, returning to Carnelian Bay where his family had owned a home since the 1970s.
Although the food services department has many opportunities for improvement, Soltanmorad seems unfazed by the tasks required to meet the district's goals.
She noted that the district was already on the right track to recovery when she was hired.
An evaluation of the district kitchens by an independent K-12 child nutrition consulting firm was done early this year at the suggestion of Beth Hirsch, a parent who spearheaded the School Food Improvement Program, a committee formed by the Tahoe Nutrition Coalition in 2010. The findings of the evaluation helped the School Food Improvement Program and district administrators outline key areas for improvement.
The short term goals for the district include: reducing the food services budget impact on the district's general fund; providing quality customer service, fiscally sound and nutrient dense menu options for students; implementing recommendations from the consulting firm's audit; addressing school site production and equipment challenges; and creating a 2-year strategic department plan to include revenue and marketing goals.
One recommendation of the nutrition advisory firm that is already in place is a second chance breakfast program.
Realizing that not all students may arrive in time for when the first breakfast is served and that students may not eat until lunch otherwise, which can interfere with students' ability to focus on studies, many school sites are now offering a second chance breakfast for students served at 10 a.m. during their first break or recess.
Soltanmorad is evaluating strategies to meet district goals, including whether on-site scratch cooking or centralized production of meals at one kitchen or a combination of both will provide the best fresh, great tasting meals while being fiscally sound.
She is looking at possible reduced food costs due to bulk ordering and producing less waste and meeting district greener environmental goals.
Soltanmorad believes that the key to success in a food program is nutrition education and partnering with students to provide meals that they will want to eat, instead of ending up in the trash.
Soltanmorad plans to teach nutrition classes during PE periods to all district students.
In addition, the district is partnering with Harvest of the Month to serve in-season foods that students have studied and tasted.
Students will also be invited to compete to create meal plans, based on nutrition standards, that will be voted on and the winning students' meals will be served and highlighted on the monthly menu.
Student artwork will also be featured on the monthly menus and displayed at the schools through work with elementary and middle school art programs.
Soltanmorad also plans to form Student Nutrition Advisory Clubs at the middle and high schools, which will be led by on-site food staff to promote nutrition education and healthy eating on campus.
With Soltanmorad's drive and experience, Tom Gemma, executive director of administrative services, believes that with time, the food services department can thrive and be fiscally sound. Along with Soltanmorad and the School Food Improvement Committee, they are eager to see TTUSD's school dining become a positive and healthy experience for our students.

Seneca Township has a full planning commission following the appointment of two new members.
John Martinez and Scott Zuvers were appointed to the commission at the Seneca Township board meeting Jan. 12.
Township clerk Allison Ott informed the board that she has sworn in Bonnie Zuvers as the deputy clerk.
The board approved a request by Ott to have the township bank accounts available on-line for the clerk and treasurer to view. The on-line banking will be for gathering information and making transfers, but not for paying bills.
Board of review members Kirk Onweller, Bob Walton and Burdette Bovee were appointed to another term of office.
A report from the Morenci Area EMS showed $3,897 in the account as of Jan. 9, with no outstanding balance in the loan account.
Township supervisor John Gould will attend the annual Lenawee County Road Commission meeting Jan. 29, along with trustees Don Emmons and Chris White.

I have an AWESOME Terminal Manager (Sheri Plant) who is prompt thorough, caring and very easy to talk to. Talking to her before I start my working day is something I enjoy doing and look forward to everyday. My Dispatcher (Larry) is also a very prompt and thorough individual. I really enjoy be employed here at Martin Transportation Systems." Darryl Williams Port Huron, MI.

Maybe it's time to change Oxygen icons to Breeze ones?
Yep, we need to replace them one day before designers created a new iconset (radically different from the previous one). ;)
It's our work. Users should know about modern KDE design. Other wikis already did it. ː)
I can't find the way how to do this actually. And also wanted to know other members' opinion. ː)
- Find an image file that you want to change (e. g. Kde.png)

You know the button to "Internal link" adds the wrong template for an internal link. It serves up [[Link title]]
but it should serve up [[Link|title]]
Link - pipe - title not link - space - title
This is very annoying and a frustration when you are new editor. Can it be fixed?
Please use underscore (_) for internal links with spaces. It also would be good if you do so for images (it is almost impossible to parse image names with camel casing and unpredictable spacing).
Thanks in advance for your help.
I think you are misunderstanding that link. It is asking for the link-name, i.e. its page name. That is all that is required to make an internal link. However, we request that you use the pipe and text, as well as "Special:myLanguage:" so that it works better for translated pages and other-language readers. Naturally the mediawiki tools don't know about that, and it's probably a major task to adapt them.
The toolbar is served using MediaWiki core, and the text is contained within the message i18n files that come with the installation.
1. We don't edit the core files as it's impossible to keep a track of all the changes when we upgrade 2. If we change the english text for that, we also need to change the 385 other languages. Then we need to manually patch each language file every time we upgrade.
So primarily because of point 1, unfortunately, this cannot be fixed.
Sayak Banerjee
I guessed that it was probably pretty core. Maybe an enhancement request to MediaWiki pointing out the ambiguity in this buttons functionality then would be good. I reckon it should say [[<link title>]] rather than [[link title]]. Because as it stands it is not consistent with what the external link button offers up. which is [http://www.example.com link title] So for consistency the external link one could actually be [<http://www.example.com> <link title>]
or maybe [http://www.example.com LinkTitle] and [[LinkTitle]] But perhaps this is a discussion to by had on the MediaWiki web site not this one.
I will shut up now.

You might like to take the suggestion to [email protected] for discussion :-)
Hi All,
Just trying to find my way around Koffice & friends....
A simple(??) question..... Is it possible (allowed/recommended) to import calendar information like Tzasks/to dos/events from Lightning to KOrganizer?
If the answer is "yes" I presume it is also possible to export from KOrganizer to Lightning? And then.... is there a way of keeping the 2 calendars in sync, without having to cross-copy the data????
Thanks for a smart looking product!!!!!!
Lightning can export and import the data in iCal format. KOrganizer can work with iCal too. For the details please refer to KOrganizer handbook. You can make the same iCal file to be your calendar (locally or on some web service) and keep the data in sync.
Thanks, Yurchor! That seems to solve my problems!!!
Is it OK to add __noTOC__ to Welcome_to_KDE_UserBase?
It doesn't seem to add any functionality, so yes.
Added. Could you please check that it is correct and then mark the page for translation?
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Users, Administrators, trusted, KDEDevelopers.
You can view and copy the source of this page.
Return to Thread:Talk:Welcome to KDE UserBase/Table of Contents/reply (3).
Hi! If the subpage feature [1] is enabled for the Main (default) namespace we can get proper functioning of subpage links [2]. This saves a lot of work and avoids broken links when pages are moved around, helps with creating documentation (see e.g. Kexi/Handbook). Also breadctumbs shall work eventually.
I propose the same for techbase and community wikis.
Seems like a good idea. Though it might need some testing. And also, techbase and communitybase are not yet updated like userbase, which might involve issues with the old codebase. About to happen though, soon.
Sorry, not adding anything constructive to this discussion, but trying to squash a bug in the new theme. Hope you guys don't mind.
I've noticed some of the manuals that are split up into several pages have tables at the bottom with navigation links to the previous/next pages. I reckon this would be better served with Mediawiki templates. Then if you want you can change the style at a later date and everything will remain consistent. I made three templates just for this, Prev, Next and Prevnext if anyone wants to look. What do you think?

I'm definitely interested in discussing your ideas. We are in the process of updating the mediawiki engine (should be complete very soon as testing is advanced), and have several improvements in mind. Can you join us on IRC? - #kde-www - it makes sense to be planning now, so that we can get improvements out there in the new version.
09:23, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Thinking a bit more about the Prev/Next templates, traditionally there was a centre entry, for Contents. What do you think about adding that? You could call it Manual Home, if that seems more appropriate.
10:29, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
I've made a slightly different prev/next template that uses a bit more syntax. Unfortunately due to the nature of mediawiki templates you have to specify the argument names in this one. It's similar to the one used on Wikibooks. It uses the {{PAGENAME}} variable for the text in the middle. I suppose you could change it to a link to the article index, but that would need another two arguments in the template and maybe that could be too complicated for casual users? Anyway, here is the link and this is what it looks like:
- ← Recent Changes
- Talk:Welcome to KDE UserBase/Template help/reply (3)
- Get some help →
Check this page source for the syntax and how it's used. Do you think it's simple enough for everyday writers to understand? Unfortunately I am afk a lot of the time at the moment so I don't know when I'll be able to drop into IRC. But if you have any specific requests of me then tell me here or on my usertalk and I'll see what I can do. Or just dive in and change my current templates if you prefer :O) There's certainly a lot of room for improvement.
00:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I didn't notice before that you have parserfunctions installed on this wiki. I've updated the second template to be an all-in-one navigation thingummy now. Still works the same way as described above, though.
04:31, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
That's really getting somewhere :-) Does {{PAGENAME}}/Manual work? I've tried it on http://userbase.kde.org/Template:Prevnext2
11:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Appears to work just fine. Almost all of the arguments are completely optional, now. I hope the documentation makes enough sense. Glad you like it. It should probably be renamed if anyone is to use it, though. And the three original templates I made can probably be deleted now. Drop me a message if you want any more.
14:37, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I noticed many pages in the documentation wiki are text only (that goes for techbase too), for example: Plasma [1] New users reading that might have no idea what that page is about.
In truth I had found that applications do have a screenshot (such as Okular [2]), but I don't think it is enough.
08:57, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
I do agree. It was never intended to be enough - merely a starter. Do help us improve this. Collect suitable images and upload them with the link on the left, then add them in at appropriate places. The more people that contribute, the better the resource will be.

Prepare your hiking boots, take some sun block, you're on for a jungle discovery.
After an early breakfast, our boat will take you around 8am to Tatai to meet your guide. From his childhood, he was one of the bests on doing what everybody could do at that time to survive… logging and poaching. Reconverted recently into tour guide, rare will be your question he can't answer about the Cardamoms' jungle.
A short briefing and you'll depart for a soft but challenging discovery riding the bike behind your experienced driver. You'll arrive at the entry point to the rainforest at 9am. Here is where your trek begins… Be assured, at the smallest sign of wildlife trace or presence you'll be notified.
Your guide will be showing you the beauty of the Cardamom Rainforest, and you'll enjoy the sound, the scent and the sight of this beautiful greenery…
Around 11.30am, you'll reach the Bat Cave, which also houses wild boars at night.
At 1.00pm you'll reach the first waterfalls where you'll have your picnic lunch. You can enjoy swimming at these waterfalls for an hour, then at 2pm, time to leave to see more of the Cardamoms…
4.00pm, you'll get to the 2nd waterfalls where you can enjoy yourselves for half an hour, before exiting the jungle…
Around 6.00pm your motorbike driver will pick you up from the exit point, on Road #48. Then at 6.30pm, your boat will wait for you at the embarkation point to take you to 4 Ruivers so you can regain the comfort of your tent and have a hot shower before dinner.

With its mix of political fervor and emotional nuance, X encompasses within its three swift acts both the curtailed life of its protagonist and a portrait of the movement he helped to spearhead....In the 20 years since X had its world premiere at the New York City Opera....Sunday's performance revealed a work of remarkable inventiveness and cogency that moves sure-footedly through a range of musical settings.
Davis writes in skillfully layered scenes that stride ahead or circle back on themselves as the narrative demands. Some of the music draws on traditional jazz...more often he combines a forceful rhythmic palette with beautiful, vividly etched melodic lines that soar and jab invitingly....X is...a richly rewarding theatrical experience. We can never have enough of those.
Not just a stirring and well-fashioned opera that already is much but one whose music adds a new, individual voice to those previously heard in our opera houses.
