Why Organic
As with all intensively farmed crops, conventional tea is routinely treated with a broad range of agricultural chemicals that are potentially harmful to farmers, farm workers and the environment. As opposed to most produce that is washed prior to consumption, most teas are air-dried without first being washed. The first time tea comes into contact with water is in our own cups, right before we drink it. This means that any harmful chemicals used at the gardens are released in our cups along with the tea flavour.
At Numi, we are committed to supporting organic tea cultivation to protect the health of farmers, the planet and you. Beyond delivering the highest quality of product, organic teas are cultivated without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides.
Choosing organic not only preserves our earth's resources and protects the health of the farmers, but ensures that what is going into our bodies is 100% natural, made the way nature intended.

Unfortunately, Duane Shanks article ("Reform, Reduce, Destroy," April 2005) only scratched the surface in familiarizing your readers with Grover Norquist. The sheer hypocrisy of his "starve the beast" political strategy would have been fertile ground for a more in-depth analysis of his philosophy, tactics, and organization. He says he wants to reduce the power of government by cutting off its source of revenue, but one has yet to hear him decry the "borrow and spend" strategy by which this administration offsets the effects of its own tax cutting. And why? Because the bill for that strategy will be paid by the children and grandchildren of the middle class and poor.

Fresh Meadows was previously known as Black Stump, for the rows of blackened stumps that marked the boundaries of the area's many farms. Black Stump Road, now 73rd Avenue, was one of two roads that ran through Fresh Meadows during colonial times. Fresh Meadows Golf Course, created by Benjamin C. Ribman, a Brooklyn resident, opened in 1923 and hosted the 1932 United States Open. The golf course, located near the intersection of 188th Street and Horace Harding Boulevard, was sold to the New York Life Insurance Company on April 1, 1946 for the construction of a residential community. The development, completed in 1949, was dubbed a "model urban community" and was praised by the urban historian Lewis Mumford as "perhaps the most positive and exhilarating example of community planning in the country." In addition to both single-family and high-rise buildings, New York Life built a shopping center, a theater, and schools on the 141-acre property. The development was sold in 1972 to Harry B. Helmsley for $53 million, after which a battle began over further development and the use of its open space. A settlement was reached in 1982 and today, the neighborhood's 6,100 private homes and 7,750 rental units are home to 35,000 residents. The City acquired the land for Fresh Meadows Park in three stages. The first portion of land was acquired by condemnation on May 2, 1947, the second by a local law passed on July 22, 1948 that freed up land formerly used for North Hempstead Turnpike. A donation from the New York Life Insurance Company to the City on January 15, 1948, extended the park to its current dimensions. In 1995 Mayor Giuliani funded a $60,000 renovation of Fresh Meadows Park, which repaired paved areas and improved other sites. Today the park's many trees create shade along Horace Harding Boulevard, and benches provide a pleasant place for pedestrians to sit and rest. 311WebsiteFresh Meadows Park Queens New York 11365 United States No Records FoundSorry, no records were found.

Southwestern Pennsylvania hospital to stop baby deliveries
Pregnant women in one southwestern Pennsylvania town will soon need to look elsewhere to deliver their babies, after a local hospital announced it will end the practice in March -- blaming ObamaCare in part for the decision.
The Windber Medical Center will stop delivering babies after March 31 because its obstetricians are either leaving or refocusing their practices, and because hospital officials believe they can't afford it based on projected reimbursements under looming federal health care reforms.
The hospital, about 60 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, is losing two obstetricians and two others are shifting their focus more to gynecology.
In a lengthy statement posted to its website Wednesday, the hospital cited several reasons for the decision -- including a claim that the population of women of child-bearing age is dropping and that the number of births the hospital would be called upon to perform isn't enough for it to provide the service in the face of lower reimbursements under the federal Affordable Care Act.
Citing remarks made by Chairman of the Board, the Honorable David C. Klementik, the statement said, "...It was a difficult decision, but coupled with the recent and potential future changes in WMC OB providers, industry trends and market analysis, the board concluded that the timeliness and cost of recruiting a new team of obstetricians may not be feasible and therefore, may not serve in the hospital's or community's best interest."
"During the transition period, WMC will work closely with its expectant mothers and is currently in preliminary discussions with local providers to accommodate future births," the statement read. "Extensive and personalized communications will be shared with all current patients, and a WMC liaison will be available to answer any questions or concerns."
The hospital delivered about 200 babies each year since restarting its obstetrics program in 2005.
Officials aren't sure how many jobs will be lost, and said, "We understand this change will be difficult for some of our dedicated employees and are working closely with the Human Resources Department to provide assistance as able throughout the transition and beyond to place them in other areas where there are opportunities due to openings and / or growth within the facility."
The closest obstetric facility is 10 miles away.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

CHICO >> Six candidates running for two very different offices had a chance to give sound bite answers to a plethora of questions in a League of Women Voters forum conducted Thursday.
Incumbent Butte County Clerk-Recorder Candace Grubbs and challenger Pamela Teeter, and Al Petersen, Virgle N. Gage, Rudy Rindlisbacher, and Diane Brown, all candidate for county assessor fielded questions from Eleanor Cameron, with the league, and Tom Gascoyne, Butte College journalism instructor and reporter.
Grubbs and Teeter were the first to be questioned and one thing they differed on was a proposed "Hall of Records."
Grubbs has been a consistent advocate of the free-standing facility that is projected to cost $8 million.
Teeter questioned the timing of constructing such a facility and what the cost could do to county resources.
In another question, the pair were asked what the biggest challenge was facing the office.
Teeter said she has contacted more than 1,000 people since entering the race and found few people had a clear understanding of what the clerk-recorder did. She also said the county has outdated voting machines that need to be replaced.
Grubbs agreed with the need to replace old machines, and she also said people may not be paying attention to the clerk-recorder's office because it is running so smoothly.
In closing statements explaining why they should be elected, Teeter said while she is a new person running for this post she has been vigorously studying the history and background of the office. She expects to rely on the skills of the staff to help guide her. At the same time she said she has listened to what people have said about things that need to be done, and she won't forget what they told her.
Grubbs said she has been in the post for more than 27 years and has much she still wants to get done. She wants to continue to be an innovative, forward thinking leader.
Assessor candidates also said the public doesn't truly understand the function and importance of the office that appraises every property in the county to establish its value for property tax purposes.
Petersen, who formerly worked in the Butte County Assessor's Office, and now is a chief appraiser in the Sutter County Assessor's Office, claimed there were changes that needed to be done in the office and there was too much staff turnover.
Brown, who currently works as principal appraiser in the Butte assessor's office, said the staff does a good job and has a high morale.
Gage told the audience his career spent doing assessments of an array of high tech firms to determine if they could successfully produce a certain product, and his managerial background gave him "ample experience to run the office."
Rindlisbacher, an Oroville real estate broker, said his 35 years in the real estate business showed him the significance and importance of the office of assessor. He also said he ran his real estate office on principles of honesty, integrity and loyalty. He said with this experience he is ready to be assessor.
Brown said she had joined the Butte assessor's staff in a clerical position and has since worked in functionally every job in the office.
Brown claimed her detailed understanding of the operation of the office has prepared her to be the assessor.
Petersen said the office needs a hands-on manager who is an expert in appraisal, auditing and assessment. He said he has those skills and, coupled with his capacity for forward thinking, he should be elected.
Bill Connelly of Oroville, who is a member of the Butte County Board of Supervisors, is also a candidate for assessor, but did not participate in this forum.

The first step to making a key for a car that has completely lost its keys is picking the lock. The lock usually has wafers top and bottom and can be picked with a Lishi Pick. You slide the pick into the lock feeling for the bouncing wafers, then literally pick until all wafers are bouncing on the spot where they are picked.

Next we put the code into a laser key cutting machine that has cut to code capabilities and we cut the key for the vehicle, then test the key to make sure it works in both the lock and the ignition.
Once the key is made we can then put a new transponder chip into the key and plug into the car via the OBD to program the chip so that it will work with the car. Once the chip is programmed to the car, then the car will start. You can find what chip goes with what car at: Transponder Chips
Once all the processes are complete you may want to program a remote if this has not been done diagnostically. The process for this can be found at: Remote Programming

Rodriguez returns to challenge Medina again in District 7
District 7 Councilman Cris Medina is facing off against three candidates this May, including Gloria Rodriguez, the former CEO of the early childhood nonprofit AVANCE Inc., who ran against him for the same seat in 2011.
Rodriguez, 64, barely missed making the runoff in the race two years ago. Medina, 33, eventually won that election, soundly defeating former Councilwoman Elena Guajardo.
The reserved Medina nearly went unopposed this time around, too. But Rodriguez, who briefly considered a run for the San Antonio Independent School District board, believes there's enough dissatisfaction with Medina in the district that she can score a victory. She even saved her old campaign signs.
Carlos Zaldivar, 47, who owns an architecture firm, and Michael A. Gonzales, 41, a lab manager, are also challenging Medina for his spot. All three of Medina's opponents describe him as unresponsive or lacking a significant presence in the district.
Medina says that's simply not true and that none of the candidates can claim his record.
• Interactive map of new City Council districts
• Candidate Questionnaires
Rodriguez has criticized Medina on many fronts: his handling of several fatal traffic accidents involving District 7 pedestrians; staff turnover in his council office; and also his decision to remove Bianca Maldonado from the city's Historic Design Review Commission last year before her term was expired.
In an Express-News editorial board District 7 candidates meeting, that only Rodriguez and Medina attended, Rodriguez said she would remove the councilman's current appointment to the HDRC if elected councilwoman, saying Maldonado "represented the community really well."
Medina said he exercised his rights as a councilman in the Maldonado matter — she was a holdover from his successor on council, he said — and that he'd received complaints about her heavy-handedness on the HDRC.
"I think some of her behavior there was over the top and unfair to some people," Medina said.

Of the staff turnover, Medina said he wanted "to put the best team in place that can serve the district to the best of its ability." Medina was previously a council staffer for Justin Rodriguez when he was councilman. Medina has also said Rodriguez is politicizing the pedestrian deaths.
"We didn't drag our feet" on that issue, the councilman said. "We did everything we could to ensure the safety of our residents and our community."
The councilman focuses on his Safe Streets San Antonio initiative, an effort to help combat traffic-pedestrian accidents. Some of his original proposals, like creating reduced speed zones near day care and senior centers, may be too costly, he said. His office is working with city staff to bring another proposal before council in the summer.
Medina also lauds the installation of a High-intensity Activated crossWalk, or HAWK, on Fredericksburg Road in the district.
Rodriguez was the head of AVANCE for more than 30 years and says that experience of working with both parents and children, for example, helping improving graduation rates in the Mirasol Housing Project, plus her time managing a large budget, mean she's ready to handle the job of elected office.
"I see something wrong, and I want to correct it," she said. "I'm a problem-solver."
She has described herself as the organization's founder, a position that has earned her some criticism. There was another AVANCE branch that started in Dallas prior to her organization launching in San Antonio, but Rodriguez contends the parent-child model she developed in the Alamo City became the blueprint for the AVANCE organization that exists today in several cities.
The Dallas branch, she said, eventually dissolved.
When she parted ways with the organization in 2006, the former board chairman cited some of her business decisions as being part of the problem. Of her departure from the organization, Rodriguez said she left when she felt she had done what she needed to do.
"Eventually, all founders have to step aside," Rodriguez said.
Zaldivar owns Franklin Zaldivar Architecture & Planning. He has interned and worked for architectural firms in San Antonio, Dallas, and Colorado.
He considers himself an experienced organizer and fundraiser, and also has years of volunteer experience, he said. He recently helped organize the 70th anniversary banquet for St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church.
"I'm incredibly involved in just about every corner of the city," he said.
He strongly believes in urbanization and wants to bring that sensibility to District 7. He wants to create incentives for businesses to relocate into the district. He also envisions refashioning Bandera Road as a grand avenue, because it is the largest thoroughfare in the district.
"Real cities have avenues," Zaldivar said.
Rather then spend more money, he believes the city can better utilize its existing resources.
Gonzales said his experience managing a diagnostic laboratory, where he oversees about 45 people, puts him in a position to manage well in office.
He has several relatives who have served in the military, who inspire him to want to give back. "It's time for me to do some serving," Gonzales said.
He believes Medina lacks the leadership qualities of some of his predecessors.
In particular, Gonzales said he's spoken to residents who are concerned about vehicles cutting through their streets to avoid heavy congestion on Bandera Road. Medina, Gonzales said, has done nothing to address this.
He is concerned about what he describes as rising property crime in the district and would like to see an increased police presence. He also wants to focus on mentorship of young people, hoping to work with civic leaders to donate their time. However, Gonzales opposed the mayor's Pre-K 4 SA program and the accompanying sales tax increase that went with it, saying similar programs already exist.
"It's a glorified babysitting program," Gonzales said of the initiative.

The easiest way to look trendy, edgy, and sexy is to add animal print to your outfit. Even if you're just wearing a pair of old cutoffs and a tank top, a leopard print bag or pair of shoes could make you look pulled together. Prints can be tricky to incorporate into your wardrobe, but this one is much easier than you might think. Take note of the subtle and bold ways the ladies below tried it:
1. With red accessories. Just keep it simple.
2. In the snow and at the beach.
3. With a high slit. If you're feeling frisky.
4. With studs and spikes. Not intimidating at all.
5. With a custom grill. Because why not.
6. Over a T-shirt and shorts. You'll never look like you're trying too hard.
7. As a clutch. And with diamonds, duh.
8. Dressed down. You can wear sneakers to work if they look this cute.
9. With solids as an accent piece.
10. As a pair of cat eye sunglasses. Pun very intended.
11. In the jungle. You'll fit right in.
Here's what you need so you can try animal prints for yourself (even at work):
Top row: Leopard Coat, TOPSHOP, $178; "Homies" Snapback, REASON, $26; Leopard Belt, CLUB MONACO, $46; Second row: Leopard Clutch, CLEOBELLA, $131;Lace Sandals, GEE WAWA, $158; Leopard Jacquard Skirt, AMANDA UPRICHARD, $149; Third row: Leopard ¾ Sleeve Dress, LOVE CULTURE, $29; Leopard Heels, STEVE MADDEN, $80; Fourth row: Leopard Face Watch, RIVER ISLAND, $57; Leopard Sneakers, VANS, $55; Leopard Jacquard Sweater, GAP, $28

Q is for Queen Trishala
Queen Trishala had fourteen (sixteen) dreams after

Queen Trishala had fourteen dreams when she was pregnant. (Some scriptures mention Queen Trishla had sixteen dreams.) All the dreams symbolized good qualities of her child. Queen Trishala was very happy to have such a wonderful child. That child was Lord mahavira*. He showed us the path to freedom from the cycle of birth and death.
The fourteen dreams were:

Middle States Evaluation
Thomas Jefferson University is accredited through the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE).
2016 Visit to Philadelphia University
Philadelphia University is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.(MSCHE) As part of the accreditation process an outside team composed of peer reviewers selected by the Commission from other comparable Middle States member institutions, visits our campus every ten years to assess the extent to which we are meeting the 14 Standards for Accreditation established by the Commission, and the extent to which we have accomplished our institutional goals as according to our Mission Statement and since 2007, our Strategic Plan. Our next accreditation visit will be in spring 2016, and so we are now conducting a campus wide internal assessment and preparation phase known as the Self-Study process.
During the Self-Study process, teams of University stakeholders, including faculty, staff, administrators, trustees, and students will join together to compile documentary evidence of our accomplishments and challenges and share ideas about areas that require more work and attention to meet our own internal goals and standards as well as to identify those areas in which our institution excels. They will also document the extent to which we meet or excel in each of the 14 Standards for Accreditation established by MSCHE. The compilation and formal written report will be composed by four thematically organized Self-Study Working Groups whose membership comprise faculty, staff, and administration, and who will be guided in this endeavor by a Self-Study Steering Committee also comprising faculty, staff, and administration and chaired by Barbara Kimmelman, Jeff Cromarty, and Pat Thatcher. The comprehensive final report comprising the documents supporting our written self-evaluation, answers to the research questions we have posed to ourselves, and evidence of compliance with each of the 14 Standards will be submitted to MSCHE and to our visiting team and will determine our ongoing accreditation status.
Finally, the campus visit in Spring 2016, conducted by a team of 7-10 visiting faculty, administrators, and staff, will determine whether our Self-Study as written actually corresponds to our practice. Visiting team members will interview selected and random faculty, students, administrators, and trustees about areas of excellence and challenge. They will clarify through the visit, areas in the report that they consider crucial for a full understanding and accreditation of the institution. On the final day of the visit, they will report out to all campus stakeholders their impression of our institution and in the following months meet privately with the MSCHE commissioners to determine our accreditation status.
Self-Study is a critical enterprise in the lifecycle of all institutions since it leads to institutional renewal through a process of data informed analysis and critique. Please participate freely and return to this page frequently in the next 18 months for formal updates on our progress during the Self-Study process and to learn how to prepare for the campus visit.

60 per cent hike in backlog orders as gun stores report record monthly sales
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Friday, March 9, 2012
Prolonged economic uncertainty is not proving too much of a challenge for firearms makers like Smith & Wesson, whose shares today soared 18 per cent after the company announced a 60 per cent surge in backlog orders, demand driven by a prevailing belief that Barack Obama will launch a crackdown on the second amendment if he wins a second term in the White House.
"Shares in Smith & Wesson Holding Corp (SWHC.O) shot up nearly 18 percent to their highest in more than two years on Friday, after the gun maker hiked its full-year sales forecast on a higher order backlog, reflecting strong demand for its guns and rifles," reports Reuters.
The company's shares have gained more than 26 percent since the beginning of this year as a result of profits outperforming estimates in four consecutive quarters.
Gun sales are being driven by a combination of factors, including fear of rising crime caused by economic turmoil, but primarily as an insurance policy against a second Obama term, which gun enthusiasts fear will be used as a lame duck tool to gut second amendment rights.
Gun stores are reporting a record number of sales for the month of February, with suggestions that Obama stands a good chance of winning re-election causing firearm and ammunition shortages nationwide.
"Look who the Republicans are trying to put against Obama," DeWayne Irwin, owner of the Cheaper Than Dirt gun store told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "It's the Keystone Kops and people are getting scared. People are terrified he's going to get re-elected and then he won't care about getting votes next time. He'll just pass whatever legislation he wants."
NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre even suggested during a CPAC speech last month that Obama was deliberately playing it low key on the second amendment during his first term so that he could put conservatives to sleep on the issue and then come out fighting.
"All that first term, lip service to gun owners is just part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment during his second term," said LaPierre.
Back in December, gun purchases hit a record all time one day high on Black Friday, and gun sales have been through the roof every year since Obama took office.
As we reported back in November 2008 just before Obama took office, the perceived anti-gun agenda of a President backed by a Democrat-controlled House and Senate prompted a record surge in firearms purchases.
In March 2011, President Obama told gun control advocate Sarah Brady that his administration was working "under the radar" to sneak attack the second amendment rights of American citizens.
Just over a month later it emerged that the administration had been sending guns to Mexican drug gangs via the "Fast and Furious" program while simultaneously blaming border violence on the second amendment.
2010 FBI records and Google Trends research indicated that the surge in firearms purchases was also being driven by first time gun buyers who were concerned about rising crime and the potential for an economic collapse.
Americans' lack of confidence in their leadership is so fervent that they are now "pre-revolutionary," according to pollster Pat Caddell. This threat of civil disorder, allied with an armed population, has prompted authorities to prepare for the worst, with the US military on standby for what the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Institute describes in a report as "strategic shock."
"Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security," stated the report, authored by [Ret.] Lt. Col. Nathan Freir, adding that the military may be needed to quell "purposeful domestic resistance".

The cover for IDW's Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness #4 movie prequel comic hit the internet recently, and what was on the cover? None other than the first apparent look at nu-Trek's Klingons. The image is below, in case you think it's a spoiler.
It very much looks like there's a '60s-style, classic TV series Klingon under that helmet, which I appreciate mightily, and I have to say I approve of the medieval knight-esque helmet. The Klingons are warriors, and this look is clearly an update but one that's still true to the original. Now the question is whether these guys will actually show up in Star Trek Into Darkness, or if this comic is the only place we'll be seeing them.

In 2001 both of CART and F1 driver Alex Zanardi's legs were sheared off in this violent crash. He would drive again, and win, but in 2007 he made the decision to reinvent himself as a para-cyclist.
After a New York City Marathon victory last year, Zanardi and his hand-powered cycle came to London for the Paralympics. And yesterday, at Brands Hatch raceway in Kent, where he used to race at hundreds of miles an hour, Zanardi took gold in the 16-kilometer time trial. At the finish he unstrapped his handcycle and thrust it above his head, a visual bookend to a career that started off so promisingly—and now, 11 years later, again contains nothing but promise.
The pictures of Zanardi celebrating are great, and belong to that can't-miss genre of Paralympic images. The Boston Globe's Big Picture has collected some of the best photos from the wires, and they're absolutely worth your time.

Duke Energy this week asked for state approval to launch or tweak three energy-saving programs for residential customers
The changes, which need approval by the N.C. Utilities Commission, include:
-- An appliance-recycling plan would offer customers $30 and free pick-up if they give up old, inefficient refrigerators or freezers.
-- Additions to Duke's Smart $aver program would offer customers incentives to make their homes more energy-efficient. The program would offer up to $400 to homeowners who install attic insulation, $200 for duct sealing, $350 for duct insulation, $60 for a central air-conditioner tune-up and $125 for a heat pump tune-up.
The program already offers $200 incentives to customers who install higher-efficiency heating and cooling systems.
-- Under a free new program, Duke will proactively seek out customers in low-income neighborhoods. Based on energy-saving needs, it will offer a menu of conservation measures such as weather-stripping, compact fluorescent bulbs, water heater insulation or water-saving showerheads.
Costs of the programs would be paid for by an existing energy-efficiency rider, which adds $2.35 a month to typical residential bills.
More on these if they're approved.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — President Barack Obama paid personal respects Saturday to relatives of ailing anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela and encouraged leaders in Africa and around the world to follow the former South African president's example of country before self.
"We as leaders occupy these spaces temporarily and we don't get so deluded that we think the fate of our country doesn't depend on how long we stay in office," Obama told reporters shortly before a private, half-hour meeting with Mandela's family.
Obama spoke at a news conference with South African President Jacob Zuma in the midst of a weeklong tour of the continent that also included stops in Senegal and Tanzania, two nations where there has been progress toward democratic governance. But many other nations on the African continent are embroiled in religious, sectarian and other conflicts.
Obama decided to avoid stopping in his father's home nation of Kenya because of international disputes there. The International Criminal Court is prosecuting Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta for crimes against humanity, including murder, deportation, rape, persecution and inhumane acts allegedly committed by his supporters in the violent aftermath of Kenya's 2007 elections.
"The timing was not right for me as the president of the United States to be visiting Kenya when those issues are still being worked on, and hopefully at some point resolved," Obama said. He noted he's visited Kenya several times previously and expects he will in the future as well.
Obama and Zuma appeared at the Union Buildings that house government offices and were the site of Mandela's 1994 inauguration as the country's first black president after 27 years behind bars for his activism.
The 94-year-old Mandela has been in a nearby hospital for three weeks after being admitted with a lung infection. Zuma told reporters that Mandela is in critical but stable condition. The White House said that in accordance with the family's wishes, Obama was not planning to see the man he has called a personal hero and revered Saturday as "one of the greatest people in history."
But Obama did meet with two of Mandela's daughters and eight of his grandchildren at the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, part of the former president's foundation. Obama said he told the family he hopes Mandela draws comfort from the time he's spending with loved ones.
"I also reaffirmed the profound impact that his legacy has had in building a free South Africa, and in inspiring people around the world — including me," Obama said in a statement after the visit. "That's a legacy that we must all honor in our own lives."
Obama also spoke by telephone with Graca Machel, Mandela's wife, while she stayed at his bedside in the hospital. Machel said she drew strength from the call and that Obama added a characteristic "touch of personal warmth."
"I am humbled by their comfort and messages of strength and inspiration, which I have already conveyed" to Mandela, she said.
Zuma told Obama he and Mandela are "bound by history as the first black presidents of your respective countries."
"Thus, you both carry the dreams of millions of people in Africa and in the diaspora who were previously oppressed," Zuma said at their news conference, reading from a prepared statement.
On other topics, Obama declined to commit to supporting South Africa's bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. He said the U.N.'s structure needs to be updated and it would be "odd" for an expanded Security Council not to have African representation.
"How we do that and what fashion is complicated, it's difficult and it involves all kinds of politics," Obama said.
"Everybody wants a seat at the table, but when it comes time to step up and show responsibility, sometimes people want to be free-riders," Obama said, adding he wasn't referring to South Africa specifically.
Obama also said he wants to boost trade with Africa and plans to renegotiate an African trade pact to improve it for American businesses. He said he welcomes competition from other nations who have been aggressive in pursuing commercial opportunities in Africa, including China.
"I don't feel threatened by it. I think it's a good thing," he said. He added: "Our only advice is make sure it's a good deal for Africa." He said that includes making sure foreign investment employs Africans and doesn't tolerate corruption or take its natural resources without compensation for Africans.
Obama also paid tribute to South Africa's fight against apartheid by visiting the Soweto area Saturday afternoon for a town hall with students at the University of Johannesburg. At least 176 young people were killed in Soweto township 27 years ago this month during a youth protest against the apartheid regime's ban against teaching local Bantu languages. The Soweto Uprising catalyzed international support against apartheid, and June is now recognized as Youth Month in South Africa.
Obama announced the formation of the Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, which beginning next year will bring more than 500 25- to 35-year-olds to the United States to train them for civic and business leadership. The fellows will spend six weeks on U.S. campuses for instruction, mentoring and internships, as well as attend a summit with Obama.
The White House says fellowship partners will provide career options when they return home, and the fellows will become part of an alumni network that will offer future opportunities. Obama told his audience — including people from Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda participating by videoconference — that the continent has a brighter future. Invoking a refrain from his own presidential campaign, Obama praised young Africans for having a "yes we can attitude."
About 150 protesters from a range of trade unions and civil society groups demonstrated outside the university ahead of Obama's arrival, but police fired warning shots and cleared the streets by the time of the town hall. Some had dressed in orange coveralls to protest the Guantanamo Bay prison and other held signs depicting Obama with an Adolf Hitler moustache.
"People died in Libya. People are still dying in Syria," said 54-year-old Ramasimong Tsokolibane. "In Egypt, in Afghanistan in Pakistan drones are still killing people. So that's why we are calling him a Hitler. He's a killer."
Obama wraps up his South Africa stay Sunday, when he plans to give a sweeping speech on U.S.-Africa policy at the University of Cape Town and take his family to Robben Island to tour the prison where Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years behind bars.
Obama has visited the island before, but said it's a particular privilege to bring his daughters back to learn its lessons.

Mr. McIntyre then recognized Mr. Mike McShane, who presented gifts to Dr. Fred Carter in appreciation of the partnership developed between Francis Marion University and the Department of Natural Resources. Dr. Carter thanked Mr. McShane and expressed excitement at having the DNR as new neighbors.
Mr. McIntyre presented the minutes of the August 3, 2007 Board Meeting to the Board for approval. Mrs. Gail Richardson made a motion for the minutes to be approved. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Teresa Anderson. The minutes received unanimous approval by the Board.
Academic Affairs and Accreditation Committee:
Ms. Lisa Emery began by notifying the Board that Keith Best, the Faculty Governance Vice-Chair, who gave the Faculty Governance Report this morning will likely be the next Faculty Chairman if Dr. Ken Autrey steps down next year. Next, the SACS Compliance Report has been completed and submitted. However, there may be additional regulations with which the University must comply that will be announced in December. There will be an onsite SACS review in March of 2008.
In addition, the committee heard a report on University Enrollment. Spring of 2007 was the last semester that the University was allowed to admit students using provisional standards via the CAP program. Thus there were no provisionally admitted students in the freshman class admitted in August 2007. Even with the loss of CAP students, the number of full time undergraduate students has increased from Fall of 2006 to Fall of 2007.
Admissions Office recruitment activities are well underway. To date, over 700 perspective students have applied for admission. The Guidance Counselor Breakfasts continue to be successful. A new site for this breakfast has been added in Spartanburg. Breakfasts in Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Florence, Myrtle Beach, and Rock Hill continue to be successful recruitment functions. An additional program, which should stimulate additional applications, is the new on-campus ROTC program. Army ROTC will be returning to campus in the Spring of 2008. An officer with faculty status will be on campus for this program.
December 2007 will mark the first time the ticketing system for graduates will be implemented for Commencement Exercises. A minimum of 6 tickets will be given to each graduate. In addition, the Commencement ceremonies will be broadcast live on Chanel 11. As usual the Commencement Exercises will be shown on screen in the commons area of the Smith University Center.
Ms. Emery then presented the first resolution passed by the Academic Affairs and Accreditation committee, 06-07 Resolution for Approving the Francis Marion University Bachelor of Science in Music Industry Degree Program. Francis Marion University will be the first state university to offer this major which will focus on the business side of the music industry instead of music performance or music education. There are currently 6 students minoring in Music who will convert to this new program. In addition, there is a lot of interest from entering students. Ms. Emery then presented the resolution to the Board for approval. Mrs. Richardson seconded the motion. The resolution received unanimous approval by the Board.
Ms. Emery then presented the second resolution passed by the Academic Affairs and Accreditation Committee, 07-07 Resolution for Approving the Francis Marion University Quality Enhancement Plan. She then asked Dr. Richard Chapman to provide an explanation of this resolution to the Board.
Dr. Chapman provided background information on the Quality Enhancement Plan. The SACS reaccreditation process has two parts: the Compliance Report and the Quality Enhancement Plan, a plan adopted by the University to enhance student learning. The University's QEP offers non-traditional learning opportunities to students. The plan was recently and unanimously approved by the Faculty on October 16, 2007. Students also had an opportunity to be appraised of this plan through a Student Government Association Meeting and through a Student Advisory Committee Meeting. If approved by the Board, this plan will be presented to SACS in January of 2008. This plan will be the principal focus of the SACS representatives when they visit in March of 2008. Ms. Emery then presented the resolution to the Board for approval. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frank Elmore. The resolution received unanimous approval by the Board.
Development and Alumni Committee:
Mr. Frank Elmore began by summarizing a report which was presented to the Development and Alumni Committee by Mr. Jay Dowd. As of June 30, 2007 the total liability assets of the Foundation Board are $16,859,787. A scholarship reception was held on November 6, 2007 for scholarship donors and scholarship recipients. Approximately 160 persons were in attendance.
For the Campaign for Excellence, to date in pledges, in kind contributions and assets the Education Foundation has received $37,690,000. The Rural Area Leadership Institute held its first meeting on October 25, 2007 in Marlboro County with 20 participants, which was very successful. The next meeting is scheduled for December 13, 2007 in Williamsburg County. The Foundation along with NESA, NPLI, The Pee Dee Land Trust, The Francis Marion Trail Commission and the Rural Area Leadership Institute will move into the old McLeod Health Facility on November 20, 2007. The Universities Health and Testing Services will continue to be housed there.
Mr. Elmore then summarized a report given to the Committee by Mrs. Kim Turbeville, a 1995 graduate and the new Director of Alumni Affairs. The Alumni office partnered with the Admissions Counselor Breakfasts mentioned by Ms. Emery in the Academic Affairs and Accreditation Committee report. Also, there have been alumni events for biology and psychology graduates, which have been successful and will continue to occur. The baseball alumni held an event on October 6-7, 2007 during which the alumni played the current baseball team. The Alumni Association named its Distinguished Alumni of the Year for 2008, a 1980 Political Science Graduate, Mr. Ted Mannes, who will be honored at an alumni membership dinner on January 31, 2007. He has been very active in US politics in Washington. He has served in the US Chamber of Commerce and served with Sen. Jon Kyl and Rep. George Radanovich of California. Homecoming week will occur at the end of February with Homecoming Day on March 1, 2008.
Executive Affairs Committee:
Mr. McIntyre reported that no official action was taken during the Executive Committee Meeting. However, Dr. Carter did present the committee with a letter regarding a naming opportunity. The Sparrow family has donated a generous gift to the University. This gift will partially fund the construction of the baseball stadium and fund three endowed chairs. In accordance with the Board Naming Policy, the Committee puts forth a suggestion to name the baseball stadium after Mr. John Sparrow's parents, Henry Booker Sparrow and Nellie Cooke Sparrow. Official action will be taken on this matter at the February 1, 2008 Board Meeting.
Financial Affairs and Facilities Committee:
Mr. Hal Campbell asked the Board to turn to the Budget Summary in their Board Notebooks. He noted that the State Appropriations increased by 3 million dollars. Mr. Campbell asked Mr. Jay Kispert to explain this increase. Mr. Kispert explained that the increase is in large part due to the funds received for line items. In addition, Mr. Campbell asked the Board to notice that PEL grant funding has increased $640,000 this year. Also, Life Scholarship Grants have increased $750,000. From 2003-2007 the overall budget has increased 41%.
Next, Mr. Campbell provided an update on University Facilities. Recently the Chapman Auditorium renovation was completed with a state of the art sound system. Also, the Founders Hall carpet which dated to the 1970's was replaced. The indoor pool renovation continues. The land for the Center for the Child has been cleared. The old McLeod building has been purchased and will be occupied by the non-profit groups mentioned earlier soon. Lastly, a land usage plan is being developed for the land across 327.
Student Affairs and Athletics Committee:
Mr. Robert Lee began by updating the Board on the progress towards NCAA Division I. The NCAA has developed a moratorium until 2010 preventing schools such as Francis Marion University to move forward into Division I. However, Mr. Hartzler and Mr. Merritt are working on an exception for our school. If unsuccessful, this moratorium could impede our progress.
Mr. Lee then presented an update on the plan for campus safety. Dr. Carter asked Mr. Bridges, Mr. Kispert and others to work on a plan for a comprehensive safety plan. Some elements of this plan were discussed in detail at the last Board Meeting in August of 2007. This plan will be fully implemented in December. In addition, our campus security has stepped up its screening process to prevent non-student visitors to this campus from creating or causing mischief.
President's Report:
Dr. Carter began by describing several recently completed and successful events on the Francis Marion University Campus. The United Nations Symposium, which occurred from October 24, 2007 to October 26, 2007, was a marvelous series of events which focused on the role of the United Nations in today's society. The headliners of these events were former ambassadors Mr. John Bolton and Mr. Andrew Young. In addition, there was a potpourri of other ambassadors who participated in these events. On the last day of these events, a variety of academicians held forums to discuss issues related to the UN from its peacekeeping roles to its human rights roles. It was an extraordinarily fine event directed and organized by Dr. Scott Kaufman and Dr. Alissa Warters. In addition, it was funded entirely by the Doctors Bruce and Lee Foundation.
Last week, the University was privileged to play host to the Commission on Higher Education. Many members of the CHE had never visited the Francis Marion University Campus before. They were able to walk away with a different view of what a University such as FMU offers this region and this state.
This week the University is privileged to celebrate the Pee Dee Fiction Festival, an annual event which is sponsored by the English Department. This year the University is honored to have the authors Dr. Tobias Wolff, Ms. Naomi Shihab Nye, Mr. Terrance Hayes, and Ms. Sharyn McCrumb. Immediately following this Board Meeting, all are invited to join these authors for lunch in The Cottage. Dr. Carter then asked Dr. Ken Autrey to remind the Board of the events to follow the luncheon. Dr. Autrey informed the Board of the following events:
1:30 Session on Literary Non-Fiction with Naomi Nye and Terrance Hayes
2:45 Appalachian music
3:15 Reading and discussion with Sheron McCrumb
6:00 Reading and Book signing by Naomi Shihab Nye
Dr. Carter then outlined the construction progress for the Performing Arts Center. The Performing Arts Center is a 25 million dollar project. Ten million of these dollars are a gift from the Doctors Bruce and Lee Foundation. Twelve million are appropriations from the State of South Carolina. Three million are donations from the City of Florence. The first outdoor rendering is now available depicting the façade of the building, which will be constructed in either Dakota Granite or Winnsboro granite depending on the cost capabilities of the project. The center of the façade will be constructed of glazed glass with onyx columns with a terrace overlooking the entrance. The entire project will be approximately 65,000 feet which will accommodate the main theatre, a small experimental space, classrooms and offices as well as rehearsal rooms. In addition to the main building there will be two adjacent features, a contemplative garden space with a fountain and an amphitheatre which will seat 300. These adjacent features are not included in the project cost. They will be funded privately.
The Center for the Child is well underway. This facility will be a wonderful opportunity for teachers of early childhood education in the 19 districts this center will affect.
Dr. Carter then thanked the Board for extending his contract until 2017. He stated that neither he nor Folly can envision a happier place to live and work.
Dr. Carter reflected that he also had sad news to report as two of the Universities members are leaving. The first he recognized was Ms. Julie Bush who is retiring. Mr. McIntyre then presented and read aloud a proclamation for Ms. Bush. Dr. Carter then recognized Mr. Daniel Dukes, who served as the legislative liaison for Francis Marion University for the past 3 years. Mr. McIntyre then presented and read aloud a proclamation for Mr. Dukes.
Dr. Carter then informed the Board that a successor for the University's legislative liaison has been chosen. Mr. Jim McGee will begin this position from December 1, 2007. Mr. McGee was very successful as a member of the House of Representatives. He has also been very successful of the University in the past. Dr. Carter stated that he and Mr. Dukes both believe that Mr. McGee will be as successful as Mr. Dukes has been for the University.
Unfinished Business:
Mr. McIntyre informed the Board that the contract extension for Dr. Carter that was enacted by the Board in the August meeting was completed on August 3, 2007. This contract will extend until August 3, 2017. Mr. McIntyre then thanked Dr. Carter for his service and dedication to the University up to this point.
New Business:
Mr. McIntyre reminded the Board of the Commencement ceremonies on December 15, 2007. Governor Jim Hodges will receive an honorary degree and give the commencement address. In addition, Mr. Emerson Gower will receive an honorary degree.
Mr. McIntyre reminded the Board of the luncheon at The Cottage. Mr. Coleman made a motion to adjourn. Mrs. Richardson seconded the motion. The Board adjourned the meeting at 12:25 pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Carolyn Beasley Shortt

I am a swim coach out in Northern California with the aspiration to become a professional swim coach, to help mentor young swimmers to help them develop into better swimmers and people in the world. I have been coaching for almost seven years now, currently the head advanced age group coach for a local swim team in the greater Sacramento area. With my time there, I have developed over fifty NorCal swim league finalist and record holders, in addition to over thirty high school section swimmers, and multiple CCCAA, NAIA, and NCAA division three and two athletes. As a swimmer starting at the age of six, I was a three time section swimmer for my high school, and competed for two years at Sierra College, where I was a part of the State Championship team in 2016. During my time competing, I have competed and trained against multiple section finalist, state champions, nationally ranked athletes, and Olympic qualifiers. I hope to use my years of experience developing and training athletes to help build a swim team to higher levels and help develop athletes into better people in the world.

Regardless of tradition, style, or commitment, yogis all over the world are mourning the loss of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, the father of Ashtanga Yoga. "Guruji," as he was affectionately known by his students, was a force in popularizing yoga in the West through the strenuous system of practice that is the keystone to modern Vinyasa Yoga. In its traditional forms, Ashtanga Yoga remains one of the most popular yoga styles today. Ashtanga (or "eight limbed path") has become synonymous with the vigorous style of Hatha yoga that follows a prescribed sequence of movement and breath, advancing students only after commitment and work from series to series.
Jois was a student of T. Krishnamacharya, the father of modern yoga , and studied alongside B.K.S. Iyengar and others. He was well known for his joyous attitude and his rigorous teaching. In Mysore, India, Jois opened his small Yoga Shala everyday to students from across the globe with the commitment that no one was ever turned away. And students from the West flocked to there to study with a living example of the ancient tradition of yoga. Through the efforts of a handful of dedicated American students, Jois traveled to the US in 1975 and continued to return to teach often.

The passing of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois is an intense and significant experience for all modern yogis. As we strive to maintain the integrity of a practice rooted in ancient spirituality, we have looked to these forefathers of the practice to guide us. As they begin to leave this physical incarnation, it will be the yogis of today that are called to carry on the legacy that our traditional teachers have gifted to us. Each class we attend, each group we teach will be reflecting the changing face of ancient yoga. It will be our responsibility to reveal it with respect and accuracy, and not to get swept away in the tide of Western commercialism and hype. When we step onto our mats, we step into a practice steeped in ancient philosophy and spiritual discovery. As the traditional teachers pass through this world, we will be left holding the light of authenticity in our practice and in our commitment to sharing it with others.
The students and teachers of today represent the evolution of a practice of millennia, and through this evolution, we will define the practice of yoga for the future. May we all take the time to reflect and honor the passing of this great and inspiring teacher who stood in the light of the teachings, who shared them with everyone, and who even in the face of fame was able to stand poised in grace and dignity as a model for all students. Guruji was a teacher who modeled deep respect, great love, beautiful joy, and unyielding commitment. "Yoga is 99% practice, 1% knowledge," said Pattabhi Jois. May we all remember and keep practicing.
Memorials and remembrances have been and continue to be held across the world. The Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India had an open memorial on May 31st, and on June 14th, Ashtanga New York will hold a memorial service in New York City. Across the country, studios, shalas and communities are remembering this yogic legend.
Do you have a special story or remembrance about Pattabhi Jois? We would be honored if you shared it with us.
