Great Exchange Covenant Church (GrX)
We are Great Exchange Covenant Church - an 8 year old Christian church in the South Bay (Sunnyvale), CA. A church of about 350 people on any given Sunday. Demographic is largely 25-35 year olds, followed by young families. We have lots of kids infant-grade 5
In a word, our church is about TRANSFORMATION. At the core of what we believe is a deep conviction that God transforms people. In the person and work of Jesus Christ there is a Great Exchange in our hearts of what we were (a slave to ourselves and our desires), for what God re-creates us to be (forgiven, and living for love of God and others). This is the crux of the Gospel, and is what we want to be about.
Our Vision is to be a vibrant, healthy church that partners with God in transforming multiethnic people into committed followers of Jesus Christ, who live in community for the cause of loving one another and serving locally and globally.
Our church has entered into a new phase of its life. At the 8 year mark a number of things have happened in the church. Kind of in an "adolescent" phase. Growing into who we have the potential to be. We are fun, loud, unconventional. At the same time, we are serious about being in line with our core vision and identity: Transformation, loving God, loving others.
The logo can reflect this - not too serious, rigid, adult stuff. Not kid Hello Kitty stuff either.
We are looking for a logo that reflects us. It will brand the church in powerpoint slides on Sundays, on the church bulletin, letterhead, posters, etc...
It isn't like a brand of jeans we're trying to sell. It is like the vision above - we want to be a multiethnic, and multi-generational church - we want to reach these people with God's transformational love. I suppose that is pretty generic!
The Silicon Valley is a land of young professionals. Software engineers, designers, doctors, lawyers, highly educated people. All fill our church on Sunday morning. However, often overlooked are large pockets of marginalized people, and those in lower income brackets. Bridging socio-economic class is more difficult that bridging race divides, in many ways. But it is in our DNA to reach in both directions, bringing race, class, status, young, old, everyone, together before God.
Upwards of 85% of people in the Silicon Valley do not attend a church on Sunday mornings.
The logo should reflect the Great Exchange, and Transformation aspects of our church. I like the idea of motion. Additionally, the shape and style of the font, and colors, should reflect who we are and where we're at (adolescence, as described above - growing up - serious yet fun).
It should also incorporate the church's shortened name: GrX - either as written there, or lowercase. I can also incorporate the full name: Great Exchange Covenant Church. Play with it...
Font - we aren't crazy about strong angles, but also hate bubble writing. No Hello Kitty. No Times New Roman. One is too young, one too old. (I personally like Islander, but please please please don't feel tied to that).
Colors - we like a youngish color palate (I'm no designer, that's why I'm here). It can have accents of a mature taste (deeper colors?), but should not be old. It can be light, but should not be childish.
Things we need: scalable - color (or color options) - a black and white option.
Note: the winner will likely be asked to create logos (for payment) for our youth programs - Junior High and High School, if he or she is up for it.
Note: Our website is in process of redesign, but you can see it here: grx.org
Note: Crosses not necessary in the logo. But possible.

For a plain-vanilla -varlist- w/o factor variables, the upper limit seems to
be quite high. I guess it is limited only by the # of variables which is
32,767 for my Stata MP. Also note you have to tell Stata the maximum # of
vars via -set maxvar-. This code runs in 100 seconds for me:

can use some help in clarifying certain features of Stata that seem to be
limitations, at least in the style of analysis I would like to implement. I
am deciding whether to have my whole lab switch from JMP to Stata for our
data analysis due to the high cost of JMP. I will avoid the debate about
virtues and faults of an interactive, GUI-based program like JMP. I see the
value and power of Stata's approach, and cost considerations may be forcing
us to switch regardless. But the following limitations are making it
difficult to convince my postdocs (and, frankly, me), that using Stata will
not, even after a transition period, take orders of magnitude more time for
visualization of our data. I apologize if these questions are elementary. I
read through "A Gentle Introduction to Stata" and searched the Web, but
could not find these answers.
> I am using Stata 10 for Mac. The data is usually a table of movement
variables (duration, peak velocity, etc) for each of several trials in motor
control experiments. There are several trials per condition, several
conditions per session, a few sessions per subject, and several subjects per
group. We usually work with two main tables: the one just described (to look
at trial-to-trial time course of variables within conditions) and a
calculated table that has the mean values of all these variables for each
> 1. A common step early in our analysis is to collapse single-trial data
into mean values per condition. Is it indeed true that the collapse command
can only handle 8 variables at a time? This means that instead of being able
to create a single table with all the variables' means, I'd have to create
multiple tables, 8 variables at a time, and then join them.
> 2. We often calculate derived variables based on a formula. However, the
formula can differ slightly for different groups or conditions. Can a
complex "if" statement be used at the end of a formula, or is there the
equivalent of a "case..." command that could be part of a formula. For
> gen int outcome = [ 1 if (peakVel > 10 & condition == "easy"); 2 if
(peakVel > 50 & condition == "difficult") ]
> 3. Is it true that there is no option for error bars in a continuous vs.
categorical plot, i.e. it is necessary to convert the category into a
numerical variable in order to plot error bars? I found the command serrbar,
which removes some of the steps required in the usual workarounds
(calculating error value is enough; high and low values are no longer
explicitly needed), but it only works with a continuous-variable x axis.
This is a minor inconvenience (the much more lamented inconvenience, for
users of JMP, is not being able to have the graph show standard error on a
mean plot without having to explicitly calculate it).
> 4. Is there any way to create a graph that shows individual values
overlaid on top of mean values? For example, one that has the following two
elements on a single graph, for variables vel, subj, group (one value of vel
for each subj; several subj per group; several groups):
> a. vel vs. group: individual values of vel (one value for each subject)
as dots lined up as a vertical array above each condition
> b. group mean of vel vs. group: mean values of vel, across each group,
indicated by a bar or a thick orizontal marker, aligned with the vertical
array of dots above each condition.
> This graph is of common use for our data: it allows us to see mean values
of a variable for a group while at the same time seeing how that mean arises
from individual subject values.
> 5. The time it takes for Stata 10 to generate a graph on a Mac, even on a
late-model machine, is inordinately slow (several seconds) and grows quickly
(to tens of seconds) with the number of elements that are added to the
graph. Does anyone know if Stata 11 is faster at drawing graphs on a Mac?

- Heavyweight
Haye restless waiting for Klitschko
David Haye says the only thing stopping him from entering the ring in 2013 is Vitali Klitschko's indecision, adding that time is running out for the fight to happen.
Haye's future in boxing has been up in the air for the last two years, with the heavyweight dropping regular hints about his retirement, only to carry on fighting.
Wladimir Klitschko called out Haye for a fight in 2011, calling his retirement talk 'lies'. Haye went on to lose to the Ukrainian by a unanimous decision but in July this year the 32-year-old knocked out Dereck Chisora in the fifth round of their fight at Upton Park.
Haye says a contract between himself and Wladimir's brother Vitali has been agreed upon but without a signature, the Briton has hinted he may have fought his last fight.
"It's no great secret that I want to knock out Vitali Klitschko in 2013," Haye wrote in The Evening Standard.
"The contract for the fight has been agreed and is there ready to sign. Were it simply up to me, I'd be training to fight right now.
"Nobody seems to know if Vitali wants to set foot again in the ring, let alone face somebody as dangerous as me.
"What I do know is that by this time next year I will either be a retired former world heavyweight champ or the new world heavyweight champ."


text: Historic Waterford In 1171, King Henry II came sailing up the River Suir seeking out the Norman lord Strongbow in Waterford. While ploughing through the river, Henry passed the rugged Hook Peninsula to his right, and the small village of Crook to his left, nestled against the coast. As he went between the two, the king vowed to reach Waterford "by hook or by crook". Out of such offhand quips, legendary phrases are born. Waterford is a county that, to this day, keeps its proud history alive. Crook still exists, sitting beside the ocean, and the Hook Peninsula is considered one of Ireland's most stunning stretches of coast. Here you'll find the striking Hook Lighthouse, striped in black and white. There's also the large mansion of Loftus Hall – thought to be the most haunted house in Ireland – and the monument that inspired William Wordsworth's poetry, Tintern Abbey. Waterford City Waterford is Ireland's oldest city – it was founded in the 9th century by the Vikings. In 1170, the city entered an important period of its history, when it was claimed by Strongbow for the Normans. Some of the most fascinating treasures from these two periods are on display at the Waterford Treasures, a trio of museums in the city centre. These include the Great Charter Roll of 1373, depicting the city as it appeared in the 14th century, and the magnificent Waterford Kite Brooch, crafted from gold and silver. Of course, it's not just history that makes Waterford such a compelling destination. The city is also known for its craft beers, such as Metalman Irish Craft Beer; blaas – delicious white floury bread rolls, unique to Waterford; and Waterford Crystal, one of the world's most prestigious cut-glass brands. It retains vestiges of its Viking and Norman past in the narrow streets and town walls of the so-called Viking Triangle, where three excellent museums tell the story of Ireland's Middle Ages better than in any other city in the country. Lonely Planet Beyond the city limits, though, Waterford has lots to offer. The Copper Coast is Waterford's own UNESCO Global Geopark, with 25km (15 miles) of shoreline comprising of cliffs, coves and sea stacks. Getting its name from the ancient copper mines that once covered the area, the Copper Coast is full of fascinating history and hidden coves. And as you explore, keep an eye out for the Metal Man at Newtown Head, where a huge sailor perches on a pillar to let sailors know that they're entering Tramore Bay. Beyond the City To the north, the rocky Comeragh Mountains dominate the sky. Nearby, the Mahon Falls cast twinkling water down in to the valley, and the Coumshingaun glacial lake sits high above the land – it's said to be bottomless, and black as night. Finally, to the west of Waterford, Ardmore Round Tower and Cathedral is Ireland's oldest Christian site – established by St Declan in the 5th century. It features a striking round tower, with a hidden hermitage perched on the cliffs nearby, making it Ireland's only coastal monastery still in existence.

Inspired by AbEx:NY? Here's some more ways to learn about Abstract Expressionism…
September 13th, 2011
Abstract Expressionist: New York took place at the AGO from May 28 – September 04 2011 and featured the works of Jackson, Pollock, Kline and more. The collection has now returned to its home at the MoMa in New York, but for those of you who are still craving a taste of Abstract Expressionism fix this blog post provides some suggestions.
Distraught that the AGO's fantastic AbEx:NY show has closed its doors? Why not explore these extra ways of learning more about the awesome Abstract Expressionists
1. At the theatre
Red, directed by Kim Collier, is a play about Abstract Expression artist Mark Rothko. Showing from November 19 to December 17 at the Bluma Appel Theatre, it's the chance to see a Tony Award-winning interpretation of Rothko in the late 1950s.
"In his Bowery studio in New York City, Mark Rothko is working on a group of murals for an expensive restaurant. His assistant, Ken, bluntly questions the artist's theories on painting and his giving in to such a commercial project instead of putting all of his focus on creating a masterpiece.

Paintings on Paper: The Drawings of Robert Motherwell – At the AGO until December 11
Abstract Expressionist artist Robert Motherwell called paper the most "sympathetic of all painting surfaces," remarking that "it's a struggle to get a canvas to have the beautiful surface that paper, by nature, already has." Motherwell drew incessantly, often "painting" on paper to explore new ideas and work through pictorial issues. His drawings reinforce his belief that ideas, emotions and the subconscious can be communicated through the gestural lines and bold forms of abstract art.
Painting on Paper: The Drawings of Robert Motherwell unveils for the first time one of the largest public collections of Motherwell drawings. The works on display were selected primarily from the 74 drawings and paintings acquired by the Art Gallery of Ontario in 1998 through a generous gift/purchase arrangement with the Dedalus Foundation, New York. The foundation was set up by Motherwell to place his works in museums and to support exhibitions, research and scholarly programs.
The exhibition covers the trajectory of Motherwell's work over four decades and is organized around key themes to demonstrate how motifs took root in his imagination and, over time, were revisited, refined and reinterpreted.
4. In your ears
Download this fascinating talk given by Robert Motherwell at OCAD in 1970. This lecture is Robert Motherwell personified: charismatic, erudite and open – as he reveals insight after insight in regards to Abstract Expressionism, his artistic practice and his artworks.
This collection of interviews focuses on Peggy Guggenheim's Art of This Century and the role she played as patron to the New York Abstract Expressionists.
If you're a fan of Abstract Expressionism maybe you can suggest some other great ways of learning more about the art and artists. Please feel free to leave a comment below with your suggestions.

Former West Licking Fire Chief David Fulmer filed a complaint Nov. 19 against Pataskala City Councilman Mike Fox, accusing him of being "incapable of serving objectively" on the West Licking Joint Fire District board during its recent investigation of Fulmer.
Former West Licking Fire Chief David Fulmer filed a complaint Nov. 19 against Pataskala City Councilman Mike Fox, accusing him of being "incapable of serving objectively" on the West Licking Joint Fire District board during its recent investigation of Fulmer.
Fulmer also alleged Fox, Pataskala's representative to the fire board, failed to remove himself from deliberations on the outcome of the investigation, per the direction of Pataskala City Council in response to another complaint made in September.
The fire board on Nov. 8 voted 4-1 -- with Fox recusing himself from the vote -- to dismiss Fulmer for misconduct in office and malfeasance related to personal information on non-township personnel kept on his work computer. Some of the information was considered sensitive and included Social Security numbers, according to the investigation proceedings.
Fulmer has appealed the decision in Licking County Common Pleas Court, alleging the board did not have just cause to fire him, did not follow the law in the process and several board members -- including Fox -- were biased against him.
Fulmer accused Fox of attending several meetings related to the board's decision even after Pataskala City Council on Oct. 1 directed him to recuse himself from the vote and any discussion about Fulmer's fate.
"I believe that the statements and actions of Councilman Mike Fox eroded and/or has had the appearance of eroding the right to due process, which is afforded through the Ohio Revised Code," Fulmer said in the complaint, citing Fox's public comments preceding and during the investigation. "Given the facts, it is difficult for me to believe that 'due process' was afforded to me through his actions.
"Furthermore, as a public official, he displayed no transparency or respect for the process as detailed in the Ohio Revised Code and has poorly represented the city of Pataskala as their representative to the West Licking Joint Fire District."
Fulmer said Fox also was "part of an illegal gathering with (fire board) attorney Frank Hatfield" on Oct. 3. The 13-minute meeting allegedly included Fox and three other fire board members, which would violate Ohio's open-meetings laws, and was "witnessed by a citizen," Fulmer told City Council on Nov. 19.
Fulmer urged City Council to take action and investigate his complaint.
Fox said during the Nov. 19 meeting he would discuss the complaint with his lawyer. He cautioned City Council members about "setting themselves up for another unfounded investigation that has no merit to it."
Council members did not take action on the complaint Nov. 19, but council President Dan Hayes said he would email all members a copy of Fulmer's complaint, which was left with the council clerk during the meeting. City Council's next scheduled meeting is Dec. 10.
The Pataskala city charter authorizes City Council to initiate an investigation and to have the mayor review the results. The mayor would then decide whether to drop the claim or move forward with charges, which would require City Council to hold a disciplinary hearing.
If City Council members choose to investigate, it would be the second investigation this year related to Fox's work with the West Licking Joint Fire District.
In September, a woman named Mary K. Wolfe made the first complaint against Fox via email. Wolfe alleged that in April, Fox made a racial comment about her and inappropriately asked John Rinard, president of the West Licking Fire Fighters Association, about Fulmer's hiring while she and Rinard were at arestaurant.
Law Director Rufus Hurst investigated and told City Council on Oct. 1 there was no reason to remove Fox from City Council.
However, Hurst said, because of the alleged comments Fox made before Fulmer was even put on leave, Fox's participation in the investigation proceedings and final vote on the charges pending against Fulmer could have the "appearance of impropriety." Fox agreed to comply with City Council's direction.
Fulmer was placed on administrative leave May 29 following a decision reportedly made by the West Licking Joint Fire District's board during a May 23 executive session. No public vote was taken at that time.
Board members then met in an emergency session June 4 and voted 5-0 to place Fulmer on administrative leave. Doug Joseph, a former fire board member who represented Reynoldsburg, resigned the same day, saying his resignation was in protest of a "clandestine" approach to remove Fulmer from duty.

Please Note: This manual shift knob does not include a jam nut. However, a jam nut or threaded shift boot retainer is required to make sure the shift knob is properly aligned when tightened on the shift handle. A shift boot retainer is recommended instead of a jam nut as it will prevent a gap between the new shift knob and the factory boot. Without a jam nut or shift boot retainer you run the risk of splitting the shift knob in half if you over tighten knob when it bottoms out on the shift handle.
Please Note: For 2014-2017 Fiesta STs, 2013-2017 Focus STs and 2015-2017 Mustangs the use of a shift knob adapter (HW3290 or HW3291) is required with these shift knobs to properly operate the pull-up style reverse lockout function.

5 Common Parental Concerns About Talking To Your Kids About Sex
Amy Cody is the Parent Education Manager at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, which offers Let's Be Honest workshops to help prepare parents to talk about sex with their kids.
Planned Parenthood and Family Circle magazine recently conducted a survey to see how parents and teens are doing when it comes to talking about sex. As it turns out, parents are a lot more comfortable having these conversations than their teens. However, parents aren't always tackling the tougher topics. I get it, some questions about sex may seem harder to tackle than others. Kids are notorious for asking questions that make parents squirm.
As a parent educator for Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and a parent myself, I've heard just about every question you could think of. And in every Let's Be Honest parent education workshop I host, after beginning to share possible answers and strategies, shoulders relax and parents feel more empowered to give it a try.
I want to share five questions that parents from my workshops have asked again and again, and tips for how you can address them with your own kids. You may not be able to anticipate every question your child will have, but there are four themes you can keep in mind during these ongoing conversations:
- Fulfill your right and responsibility as a parent to be your child's primary sexuality educator.
- Share your attitudes, beliefs, and values around sex and sexuality.
- Respect your child's feelings and promote positive self-esteem in your child.
- Provide accurate facts and knowledge.
Check out this website for more information about the four themes and try to keep them in mind as you answer questions that come up with your child.
Viewing questions about sex and sexuality as a natural and normal situation can help us keep our sense of perspective. Answering questions matter-of-factly, calmly, and honestly is the best policy.
Try some of these answers on for size and see if they make sense for you and your family.
My four-year-old is asking "Where do babies come from?" What should I do?
A question like this calls for active listening and asking gentle questions to find out why your child is curious about the topic and what she or he really wants to know. Answering "babies come from their moms" might be all they need to know. Let your child's questions be your guide.
Try this: "That's a great question! A tiny seed from a man called a sperm and a tiny egg from a woman join together inside the uterus, a special place inside the woman. When the baby is ready to be born, it comes out through the opening between the woman's legs called the vagina."
What should I do if my child goes to school and shares information from our family discussions about sexuality with other kids who have not yet had this conversation?
Kids frequently compare information with each other about sex, whether parents want them to or not. When you start having these discussions with your child, tell her/him that you are sharing this information because this is something that families talk about with each other. Remind your child that friends will talk about it with their own families.
Try this: "I think it's great that you are interested in learning more about bodies and how they work. You can always ask me any questions. And, each family has their own idea of when to talk about these things, so let your friends talk to their parents."
What do I say if my middle school child asks me, "Why do people enjoy sex?"
Kids of all ages are curious about the world around them, their bodies and how they work, and how they relate to others. This is a great opportunity to talk with them about relationships and healthy decision-making.
Try this: "Just like there are many different ways to define sex, there are many different reasons why people enjoy sex. People usually enjoy sex when both people have agreed to it, and when both people are emotionally and physically ready to be intimate (close and loving) with one another. It's not like on TV. In real life, the emotional part is just as, if not more, important than the physical part. And, just like with other mammals, the human body is designed to enjoy sexual behaviors."
How do I handle personal questions such as, "Mom, when did you start having sex?"
Our kids are often interested in this information to serve as a barometer of their own readiness. However, everyone has to make their own decision about when the time is right. Rather than concentrating on any specific timeline in conversations, instead discuss the importance of emotional, physical, and spiritual readiness, including respect, comfort, vulnerability, intimacy, and trust.
Try this: "I understand that you're curious about my life experience. The age of when I had sex for the first time isn't as important as what I was feeling or thinking about it. Although you will decide for you when the best time is, I want you to know that I hope you wait until you are older and in a mature, responsible relationship. When do you think someone knows if they are ready to have sex?"
My child is very shy when sex comes up. How should I approach this or initiate a conversation?
Many kids are shy or embarrassed about this topic and many parents are as well! I recommend that parents be proactive. Don't wait for questions that may not come up. Parents can use television shows, music lyrics, movies, news stories, or magazine ads as ways of opening the door to ongoing conversations. Sometimes texting, e-mailing, or writing a note might be the best way to start.
Try this: "I know it's hard to talk about this, but I love you and feel that it's important that we can have these conversations. I am always here for you if you want to talk."
As parents, we want to help our kids navigate the mixed messages and contradictions they encounter in our sex-saturated culture. Recent studies show that young people who have frequent and open conversations with their parents about sex and sexuality are more likely to make healthier, safer, and better-informed decisions related to sex.
It's time to start talking! Let's make sure that when kids have questions, they can turn to us for our values and age-appropriate, honest, and factual information.

Greetings All,
As a warm up to a Cascades climb (Shuksan) in August, my partner and I are looking to get up Mount Washington in New Hampshire in mid July. We're starting to research routes and logistics, but I wanted to see if anyone could add some beta on the following:
(1) Weather in July: we're up to speed on the potential for harsh weather on Washington, and we'll plan and pack accordingly. But can anyone attest to weather they've experienced on the mountain in July? Ground truth is always valuable and worth it's weight in gold!
(2) Routes: Tuckerman Ravine seems to be the winner, with Lions Head as the alternate in case the headwall has issues. Any words of wisdom on the routes?
(3) Lodging: we'd like to camp the night before and get a late'ish alpine start to head for the summit. We did this at Katahdin last summer and the Roaring Brook camp ground was perfect for this. Is there something similar at Washington? I've read about lodging that is available about a quarter up, but we'd prefer something at "ground" level and take the entire mountain (to the summit and back) in one day. The alternative is a motel or something that's super close, but that takes the fun out of it.
Thanks all!

The attached picture, of a Facebook playboy's sweethearted proposal to his Googler girlfriend, did not come cheap: It was shot in a private air taxi above the Maldives, a remote haven for wealthy tourists. Dave Morin has struck again.
If Morin's name sounds familiar, it's because he's become a Valleywag regular. Don't let his drab Facebook title of "senior platform manager" fool you: This is the guy who had MC Hammer, not to mention rock-star venture capitalist Ron Conway, at his 28th birthday party in 2008. The one who pals around with cutie internet pundits and his boss' protocelebrity sister. And the one who seems to have never met a tropical tech party he doesn't like, whether it's Camp Cyprus in the Mediterranean or the "Summit Series" in Cancun.
If Morin sounds like a smooth operator, it's because he has to be: His hottie fiancée Brittany Bohnet works for the enemy over at Google, a tie that hasn't been without its own thorny political ramifications.
But Morin has ways to paper over those problems. Millions of ways, we hear: With all of three years at Facebook, an eternity in the world of startups and social media, he's believed to have built up quite a nest egg of Facebook equity — and made a nice bundle cashing them out, thanks to the employee liquidity provided by the social network's new Russian backers this past summer.
It helps, of course, that Morin spends his money wisely. Or at least, that's the conclusion one is led to by the Flickr set he's published in connection with his Tumblr-ed marriage proposal. She said yes, after all.

Posted by Editoress on 06/4/12
At this point, everyone knows that a week ago Ryder Hesjedal became Canada's first Grand Tour winner, when he won the Giro d'Italia, beating Joaquim Rodriguez. The interest from the general media was immense in those first few days, so we held off from trying to interview Ryder until things had settled down a bit. We finally had a lengthy telephone interview over the weekend from Ryder's European base in Girona, Spain, where he is currently recovering.
Canadian Cyclist: So, have the media demands started to slow down?
Ryder Hesjedal: It's definitely not like Sunday and Monday [last week], but I'm still doing interviews every day.
CC: Let's start by talking about that final time trial stage in Milan, where you won the Giro. Going into it, there was a lot of talk about how you had the race sewn up and would take the win 'easily'. But it was only 16 seconds - did you expect it to be so close?
RH: I knew it would be tight. Rodriguez was really at a high level from the way he was riding, and holding the pink jersey I knew he would he would ride hard. It was only a 28 kilometre time trial, so there was not much chance to make up that time. Both of us rode very good time trials, and fortunately mine was good enough to overcome the deficit. But certainly his ride was very good and I knew it would be hard
CC: Were you getting updates? Did you know when you took the lead?
RH: Not really. It was all pretty hectic. There were bullhorns and PA systems going off and I didn't have an ear piece, so I didn't really have a clear indication until about 5 K to go, when I heard I was in the pink jersey, so I didn't take any risks in those final kilometres. Really, the information was irrelevant at that point because somebody saying something wasn't going to change how I rode.
CC: It looked to be a tough course, with lots of corners and chances for crashes.
RH: For sure, it was super technical. There were lots of corners, pavé and the cobblestones that you get in Milan in the older city. In lots of sections the pavement is heaved and cracked, lots of stuff like that. With all the turns you are constantly accelerating and re-accelerating. Those all made the time trial that much more technical.
CC: Before start of season, the team talked with you about being the team leader at the Giro. Did it impact your preparation for the season? What sort of changes did you make?
RH: I hadn't ridden the Giro since 2008, and never in the capacity that it was my goal as leader of a top team, riding for GC. We mapped out a plan for the racing and the training to arrive there prepared. The main thing was to give up ambitions in the early part of the year and build more towards this goal. My first real race wasn't until Catalunya [March 19-25]. The Tour Down Under was more about getting started, more of a training situation. I didn't go to Europe until the end of February; I spent another month longer in Hawaii then usual after Down Under. That was the main step, with not a lot of big racing until right up to the Giro.
I didn't ride Tirreno or Paris-Nice, and you have seen how good I can be in the Classics, but that is something else I had to sacrifice for the goal of the Giro. Already after Catalunya I was riding well, and in Pays Basques I could tell I was at a good level, and the Ardennes was a good marker. I maintained my condition in Romandie and then arrived at the Giro according to plan.
Ryder's first day in pink
CC: The Giro seemed to go according to plan: win the team time trial so you were close to the lead, then a short time in in pink, then lose the jersey so the team doesn't have to defend. Did it go pretty much the way you had hoped it would go?
RH: I think so. One of the things that wasn't in the plan was losing Tyler [Farrar] in the sixth stage, and we had to work around that, but it made the GC even more of a focus. Certainly the team time trial was the first marker and we were able to get the pink jersey for a couple of days so, yeah, that's what we were looking to do. Losing it after that we had no pressure and could focus on my ride in the GC.
That set up my chance to get in the jersey [May 12th, stage 7, losing it on stage 10]. Those are the things the team needs to rally round, to ride at that level and show their ability. To take the jersey back in [Stage 14] was a big indicator, because we were two weeks in, and showing that I was one of the strongest, if not the strongest at that moment showed that it was definitely going to plan and kept the focus on for the last week.
CC: The 19th and 20th stages were both big climbing days. Rodriguez needed time, and those were considered his last opportunities to do so before the final time trial. On first [stage 19] you took time and on next one, finishing on the Stelvio, you gave some back. What would you say was the more critical point; at which point could it have been won or lost?
RH: On [Stage 14] I did my ride more on instinct and surprised everyone [taking the lead back by nine seconds]. The next day was more of a bad day for me and Rodriguez took back a bigger chunk then [beating Hesjedal by 39 seconds], but every day is critical once you get into the home stretch.
Once I was able to get through that and stay on an even keel, then those guys had more to prove than me, and I ended up doing it more to them. Stelvio was more of a damage control day and I basically had everything thrown at me. Everyone was looking at me more or less as the leader, putting the race on me, and having to deal with the situation of [Thomas] de Gendt going up the road and not getting any help, and having the race on my shoulders. We needed as a team to control the damage until until we got on the Stelvio. The ride I did on the Stelvio for the last 6 K, that was me winning the Giro. Everyone sat on me, and I had to show I was the strongest and save my Giro.
CC: Are you aware of publicity this win is getting back in Canada? It's been a really big deal here with the general media - you were on the front page of Globe and Mail. Do you have any idea of how big it became back here?
RH: Yeah, I was able to Google search the news and see, and this is how it should be ... this is the Giro d'Italia, a Grand Tour of cycling. I've been saying for years the lack of coverage of the sport in North America is terrible. I think it is changing now, and I think people are seeing how great this sport is, and for a Canadian to finally win one [Grand Tour] for the first time will increase the interest. People just had to discover the different races, and I think the Giro this year was very exciting and captivated people. I think it does deserve to be covered just like any other sport. it's pretty simple to me.
CC: Any thoughts on what this is going to do to raise the visibility of cycling in Canada?
RH: Definitely I think when you have messages from [Prime Minister] Stephen Harper and the President of the Canadian Olympic Committee [Marcel Aubut] then clearly the recognition for the level of what it is, is there.
I've seen the messages, I've seen the notes: 'Thank you Ryder, I'm getting a bike today'; 'You've made me want to take up the sport'; 'I haven't ridden in 15 years and you make me want to get out there and ride' ... all those types of things are very flattering, and I'm just committed to the sport.
I do it [racing] and I've done it for a long time, and that people are getting excited for what I'm doing is going to help the sport. I mean, it's a huge motivator, and it makes me proud of what I'm doing. I guess we'll see the long term impact, but right now it can make Canadians proud that, yeah, we've won a Grand Tour. The Tour [de France] might be the biggest, but the Giro is definitely seen as the hardest race in the world. It's a big moment, and I think it will have a big impact in Canada.
CC: What about the rest of the season. Last year we spoke in Quebec and I asked about Olympics, and you said wasn't really in your plans. Now you have said that you would like to be considered to do the Olympics. Clearly you've shown that your time trialling is strong enough, but there is also the Tour coming up. Have you made plans about what you want the focus to be?
RH: Right now I'm still just a week out from winning the Giro, and I'm just relaxing and enjoying it. But my goal is what it has always been: to do the Giro, Tour and Olympics. But all that will be decided in the next couple of weeks.
CC: So at this point the plan is to do the Tour and then, depending upon the selection, hopefully do the Olympics as well?
RH: Yes, exactly.
CC: If you got selected for the one Olympic spot Canada gets, would that change whether you do the Tour, or would you still do the Tour?
RH: The Tour is the best race preparation. I've done the World Tour one day classic road race six days after the Tour [San Sebastian], and that would be the same in position for London. I've been in the front [at San Sebastian] three years in a row ... it's a selective group that does the sprint. There's no guarantees that it's going to be a sprint or a small group or anything, but ... you only have five man teams, so the way the course is with the circuit and the climb, it's more like an Ardennes classic. It's an eight minute climb and you do it, what, 11 times? That's not a Flanders climb of 30 seconds to a minute.
With respect to the selection [during the Olympic road race], it's going to happen - if the strongest 15 or 20 guys in the world want to make the race as hard as possible then there's only going to be 15 to 20 guys coming to the line. It probably won't be sprinters, because you would need three or four or five teams all wanting it to be a sprint, and I don't know who would want it to go to a sprint with Cavendish being there.
I suspect many teams will be selecting their riders for who can be there after a hard selection. Obviously, we have one guy, and if the team doesn't think it's going to be a sprint then they need to go with the attackers, who can make the race hard. That's what I'm hoping for. I think I could make a small selection and then feature in the final. I look at races like Amstel, or Montreal or Quebec, or San Sebastian, Liege-Bastogne-Liege ... I mean, it's 250 kilometres, it's not a 180 kilometre sprint stage.
CC: So one of the debates going on here [Canada] is do we send somebody whose focus is the time trial or do you send somebody who could potentially do well in the road race? And if we send someone for the road race, do we send a sprinter or someone who could be there if there is a selection?
RH: Well we don't have a sprinter who can feature in a 250 kilometre type of a sprint, and we don't have anyone for the time trial who is a medal candidate.
CC: Moving to a different event - the national team for Beauce is going to be a super team with Svein Tuft, Christian Meier, David Veilleux and Dom Rollin; almost a WorldTour squad. Could you be persuaded to become a member of that team for Beauce? You've never won Beauce, so you could do the Giro-Beauce double!
RH: [Laughs] I think after winning the Giro my next objective is definitely not the Tour de Beauce. I think I'll take my chances on the other races on my program.
CC: So I guess there is no chance we will see you at Nationals?
RH: No, my program is Giro, Tour. It's the same as 2008, when I did the Giro, the Tour and Beijing [Olympics], and that was after going as hard as I could from Day One in the season because at that point the team was new and there were no guarantees at any races. So now it's four years on and I'm more experienced and stronger, and my season was built around coming into top form for the Giro and using that as a springboard for the rest of the season. So I'm in the exact position I set out to do, and having the luxury of no pressure. I mean, I won the Giro, so I have no pressure to perform in other races. But do I want to, and capitalize on the best form of my life? Definitely.
CC: For the Tour has the team chosen a captain? Christian Vandevelde is obviously building quite well because of the way he was able to support you at the Giro - so is he the Tour captain? Or has the team not yet made a decision?
RH: No, that decision has not been announced, you'll hear when that information is available.
CC: So what's your Tour build up?
RH: Just training. The best training you can do for a three week race is a three week race, so if you have the Giro in your legs in a good way then it's a great platform for the Tour, and that's where I am right now.
CC: So do you think there is an opportunity to equal your best Tour finish [6th in 2010]?
RH: I think the possibilities are endless. We'll see how things unfold moving forward but, clearly, some people underestimated me at the Giro.
CC: Last question: Obviously, there is a lot of interest in Victoria and other parts of Canada to have some celebrations for your Giro victory. When is the earliest that we are likely to see you back in Canada?
RH: If all goes well, I should be back there after the Olympics. If I can do the program I am hoping to do, then at that point there won't be much for me to do except the Canadian races [WorldTour in Quebec City and Montreal], so it would be a nice chance to come home to Canada before the next races on the schedule and celebrate.

Service Projects
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Second Class Rank
For the Second Class Rank, a Scout must participate in a service project or projects approved by his Scoutmaster. The time of service must be a minimum of one hour. This project prepares a Scout for the more involved service projects he must perform for the Star, Life, and Eagle Scout Ranks.
Star and Life Ranks
For Star and Life ranks, a Scout must perform six hours of service to others. This may be done as an individual project or as a member of a patrol or troop project. Star and Life service projects may be approved for Scouts assisting on Eagle service projects. The Scoutmaster approves the project before it is started.
Eagle Scout Rank
For a service project to qualify as an Eagle Scout service project, the Scout, while a Life Scout, must plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project benefiting any religious institution, school, or community. These projects, of course, must conform to the wishes and regulations of those for whom the project is undertaken.
The Eagle Scout service project provides the opportunity for the Eagle Scout candidate to demonstrate the leadership skills he has learned in Scouting. He does the project outside the sphere of Scouting.
As a demonstration of leadership, the Scout must plan the work, organize the personnel needed, and direct the project to its completion.
Service to others is important. Work involving council property or other BSA activities is not acceptable for an Eagle Scout service project. The service project also may not be performed for a business, or be of a commercial nature, or be a fund-raiser.
NOTE: Fundraising is permitted only for securing materials or supplies needed to carry out the project.
Routine labor, a job or service normally rendered, should not be considered. There is no minimum number of hours that must be spent on carrying out the project. The amount of time spent must be sufficient for the Scout to clearly demonstrate leadership skills.
The Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No. 18-927D, must be used to meet this requirement.
The Scout must secure the prior approval of his unit leader, his unit committee, and the benefactor of the project. The project must also be reviewed and approved by the district or council advancement committee or their designee to make sure that it meets the stated standards for Eagle Scout service projects before the project is started. This preapproval of the project does not mean that the board of review will approve the way the project was carried out.
Upon completion of the project, the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, properly filled out, is submitted with the Scout's Eagle application to include the following information:
- What was the project?
- How did it benefit others?
- Who from the group benefiting from the project gave guidance?
- Who helped carry out the project?
- What materials were used and how were they acquired?
Although the project idea must be approved before work is begun, the board of review must determine the manner in which the project was carried out. Questions that must be addressed include:
- Did the candidate demonstrate leadership of others?
- Did he indeed direct the project rather than do all the work himself?
- Was the project of real value to the religious institution, school, or community group?
- Who from the group benefiting from the project may be contacted to verify the value of the project?
- Did the project follow the approved plan or were modifications needed to bring it to its completion?
All the work on the project must be done while the candidate is a Life Scout and before the candidate's 18th birthday, unless a time extension has been allowed (see the section titled "Time Extensions").
The Eagle Scout service project is an individual matter; therefore, two Eagle Scout candidates may not receive credit for working on the same project.
The variety of service projects performed throughout the nation by Scouts earning their Eagle Award is staggering. For ideas and opportunities regarding service projects, the Scout can consult people such as school administrators, religious leaders, local government department directors, or a United Way agency's personnel.
The district or council advancement committee also can be helpful by identifying possible projects.

The Famous Titanic Band
Titanic's Famous Band that played as the ship sank. Titanic Facts, Titanic Information, Nearer my God to Thee. Great information for teachers, students and historians.
Titanic: The band that played on
The band of Titanic is one of the most mysterious and legendary tales that comes from the ill-fated ocean liner. Titanic's eight-member band was led by Wallace Hartley, and upon panic of the passengers during Titanic's sinking, assembled in the first-class lounge to play in an effort to keep everyone calm. As the ship continued to plunge, the band moved to the forward half of the boat deck, and continued playing even when their doom became apparent. All members of the Titanic band died that night while playing. However, the final song they played is still up too much debate.
Mrs Vera Dick, a first-class Canadian passenger reported that the final song played by the band was the hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee". However, reports indicate that Mrs Dick had left by way of lifeboat an hour and twenty minutes previously, and could not have been there to witness the final song played by the band.
Although, the band's leader, Hartley, did say once to a friend that if he were on a sinking ship, "Nearer, My God, to Thee" would be among the songs he would play. Harold Bride, one of the wireless operators, reported in 1912 that he had heard the song "Autumn" just before the ship sunk to the depths of the sea. This account of Harold Bride was popularized in the Walter Lord book A Night to Remember. Despite this, neither the hymn "Autumn", or the closest version to it, waltz "Song d'Automne", were in the White Star Line songbook for the band. This still remains the best testimonial as Bride was the only person who could have possibly heard the band's last song, as he floated off the deck just before the ship went down.
The questioning of whether or not the band played "Nearer, My God, to Thee" as their final farewell is thought to have originated as a myth from the wrecking of SS Valencia in 1906 in Canada, which may have had an impact on Mrs Dick's selective memory.
Furthermore, two versions for "Nearer, My God, to Thee" exist, including a British version and an American version that have very different musical settings. In the film A Night to Remember, the British version is used; while the 1953 film Titanic incorporates the American version as its swan song.

The eyes of the nation — at least those belonging to college basketball lovers — will be on the Colorado program and the Coors Events Center on Saturday when ESPN brings its GameDay show to town for the Buffs' game against No. 4 Arizona.
It wasn't so long ago the idea of this happening was a pipe dream. I mean a monkeys-will-build-a-rocket-ship-and-travel-to-Mars kind of pipe dream.
When ESPN announced it was planning to broadcast from Boulder for a day about three weeks ago, it reminded me of another day back in the summer of 2007 when former CU athletic director Mike Bohn and his senior associate AD Tom McGrath invited me to take a walk around the events center to show me their plans for the place and the basketball programs.
At the time the events center was a dull, gray, concrete relic. It was functional, but not the kind of place that made you think it could ever be home to a top-tier college basketball program. Remember when the rectangle court was positioned in the middle of the concrete oval floor creating uneven walking surfaces made even more treacherous by numerous exposed wires and cords for television and radio broadcasts?
McGrath, who had spent years working with USA Basketball, including the first few editions of the Dream Team in the Olympics, used to roll his eyes at how neglected the basketball programs had been here.
It has come a long way and so has the product on the court.
It took numerous steps carried out over a series of years to get here and the job is by no means complete. CU still wouldn't be considered one of the Haves of the college game, but it is no longer cemented in with the Have-nots either.
Of course the biggest pieces to the puzzle were the $12 million spent on the practice facility addition several years ago, and, of course, the hiring of coach Tad Boyle.
So now, with it's fourth consecutive 20-win season secured and a third straight trip to the NCAA Tournament within reach, CU has arrived at a point where it's deserving of a visit from GameDay and the national spotlight for a day.
The snowball is rolling downhill now.
One of the next steps for the program is for Boyle to successfully recruit a McDonald's All-American, a one-and-done type of talent. A player like his counterpart in Saturday's game, Sean Miller, has in freshman Aaron Gordon.
Boyle is on cusp of that. He will bring the best recruit of his tenure to Boulder next fall in Denver East High School guard Dominique Collier. There is no doubt that the exposure CU gets Saturday will help Boyle and his assistants be granted entry to the living rooms of those next level players.
What would help those efforts even more is beating Miller and Gordon and the rest of the Wildcats.
Neither program is at full strength. The Buffs have overcome the loss of their best player, point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, to a season-ending injury. They're improving each game now that they have adapted to playing without him.
Arizona is still recovering from losing Brandon Ashley on Feb. 1 to a season-ending injury, though it has proven resilient as well.
If the Buffs are able to pull off the upset, it will be an opportunity for everyone who loves and supports the program, especially the C-Unit student section, to take another step in the building process and not rush the court.
Sure, the Wildcats are ranked No. 4 in the nation, but beating them wouldn't be anything new like beating Kansas was back in December. CU beat Arizona here last year. Actually, the Buffs beat Arizona in Tucson last year, too, except for the botched call by the Pac-12 officials who nullified Sabatino Chen's game-winning shot.
ESPN would probably love the footage of ecstatic Colorado fans pouring out of the stands in the refurbished events center onto the court to celebrate a win. But it's time for CU fans to expect to win games like this because there is every reason to believe that snowball Bohn and McGrath first began to pack together seven years ago is only going to continue to gain momentum.

The living story that ran through 2013 in Guild Wars 2 escalates in 2014, as the arch-villain Scarlet Briar unleashes a massive mechanical monstrosity on the unsuspecting denizens of Tyria. Meet the Twisted Marionette.
Unimpressed? Perhaps some perspective will help.
Those little colourful specks on the ground are players. They're going to have to team up to take her down, and that's a long way down.
The Twisted Marionette won't be the only major monster in the January 21 "Origins of Madness" update to Guild Wars 2 — there'll also be some sort of Great Jungle Wurm rampaging along the Bloodtide Coast.
But he's nowhere near as impressive. I might just have to reinstall Guild Wars 2 for this event.

Get the Look: Christina Hendricks at the 2011 MET Ball./
Celebrity Makeup Artis Vanessa Scali made up the gorgeous makeup look for Christina Hendricks for the 2011 MET Gala, held last night in New York City.
"Christina's makeup was directly inspired by her strapless dress. The dress had an earthy, mermaid feel. You can picture her appearing from out of the mist in Ireland just in time for the Ball. This look is a contrast of simplicity and sophistication: nude skin, ruddy-rosy cheeks and flush lips paired with intense, sultry copper eyes."
"First, I prepared her skin by using CHANEL Sublimage La Crème. This cream is rich, luxurious and penetrating. Then I applied CHANEL Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF 15 in Beige-Pastel. This formula is so exciting! From the moment I tried it, it has been a staple in my bag. It's effortless to apply and light as air -- perfect for making the skin look nude, but flawless. CHANEL Powder Blush in Rose Petale was applied to the apples of the cheeks blending outward.
For definition and intensity, I lined her eyes with CHANEL Intense Eye Pencil in Noir at the base of the lashes and on the inside rim of the eye (one of my favorite ways to secretly make lashes look thicker and define the eyes is to line the inside rim, on the waterline). Then using CHANEL Makeup Shadow/ Liner Brush #4, I smudged the line for a softer effect. Using the rich copper shade from the CHANEL Quadra Eye Shadow in Spices, I applied color from the lash line to just above the crease and swept past the natural outer corner to exaggerate and elongate the eye. This color continues under the bottom lashes, blended well. Then to highlight the brow bone, I used a touch of CHANEL Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow in Delta. I finished the eye by framing it with lush, dramatic lashes – CHANEL Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir. You can never have too many lashes and this mascara really delivers.
For lips I wanted a flush, clean look so I used CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine in Sari D'Eau. And the last touch was a dusting of CHANEL Natural Finish Pressed Powder in Clair – Translucent 1 on her T-zone."

Business Continuity Planning Resources
On this page:
If you wouldn't embark upon a trip without including important survival items and a list of emergency phone numbers "just in case", then you intuitively understand what a business continuity plan is at its core. Preparing for a disruptive change in "business as usual" is what business continuity planning is about. Preparation is accomplished by assessing risk potential, identifying critical business processes, analyzing business impacts of a disruption, creating a plan to mitigate identified risks and participating in exercises or tests that help refine the plan. Upon completion your department or business unit will be resilient and well-prepared to stay in operation under circumstances that are anything but business as usual.
To find out more about business continuity planning please contact Director of Risk Management, Lura Clapper by email or at (937) 775-3908.
View our Business Continuity Planning Presentation Hand Out (PDF) for more information.
The Importance of Business Continuity Planning
Business continuity helps your department or business unit continue to function as a viable part of the entire organization in the event of a disruption to one or more critical locations, people or systems. Having a plan in place means your department or business unit will be able to effectively respond to a disruption by safeguarding people, minimizing loss of essential business services and maximizing timely recovery of critical functions. Business continuity planning benefits the larger organization by maintaining a good public image and reputation, reducing loss potential and enhancing operating efficiencies.
How ready is your area? Take the Readiness Quiz (PDF).
Getting Started
Business continuity planning at Wright State is organized based on three planning phases: building a Site Emergency Management plan, conducting a business process analysis and building the business continuity plan. It is important to complete each phase in order as valuable information will build upon the previously completed phase. In addition to completing each phase in order, the planning process is greatly facilitated if you complete the pre-work worksheets first. The information can be gathered in one or more business unit planning meetings and then using special planning software known as LDRPS, the information is entered into the system. Having your plan in LDRPS will ensure that it is securely housed, allowing easy updates to plan information and downloadable reports that can be held on portable storage devices or printed as hard copies. The Planning Phases tab contains important resources that will guide you through the three planning phases. Although there are some things that you can complete on your own, you may find that you need stepwise guidance in order to fully reap the benefits of the planning process.
Planning Phases
Building a Site Emergency Management (SEM) Plan
The Site Emergency Plan serves to guide activities within the first 4 hours after a disruptive event that impacts one or more critical locations, people or systems. It documents essential information that you will need in order to respond quickly, appropriately and, above all, safely. Essential information includes, a contact list or call tree of team members, key decision makers, vendors and others you may need to contact as part of your event response. It establishes the initial response team members and positions for key personnel and assigns essential tasks to each. It establishes an initial response location away from your usual work location that serves as an assembly place for initial response operations. Lastly, it houses essential documents specific to your business unit that you may need to access to initiate response operations.
Pre-Work for SEM Plan Completion
Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
In this phase, you will examine all of your business processes, determining which processes will have the highest priority so that your plan will cover only the most critical processes. Once critical processes are identified and prioritized you will construct business continuity strategies around them in the third planning phase.
Pre-Work for BIA Completion
Building a Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
In this final phase, you will formulate and construct detailed plans around 3 outage scenarios; loss of location, loss of essential systems and loss of essential personnel. Loss of location involves determining an alternative work location where your operations can be housed until restoration of your primary work location and its contents is complete. Loss of essential technology systems will involve developing manual techniques with which critical processes can be replicated and streamlining process steps. Loss of essential personnel involves designating alternate personnel that could be tapped, streamlining critical processes, and identifying procedural documents.
In addition to plan construction, you will need to determine the types of resources you will need to be able to continue the critical processes identified in Phase II. Resources can include office furniture, office equipment, computer and telecommunications equipment, and other equipment specific to your operations as well as the human resources or teams that will be required to perform the identified critical business processes. Documentation important to the conduct of operations will be housed in the business continuity plan as well. A completed business continuity plan will provide capability to continue the most critical operations of your business unit. The plan addresses all business unit activities from about 4 hours after a disruptive event until such time that restoration of primary facilities and operating conditions are complete.

Wabash Annual Fund Tops Previous Recordby Howard Hewitt • July 16, 2012 Share:
Wabash alums, friends, and supporters gave generously to the College in the just-completed fiscal year establishing a new fund-raising standard.
Giving topped $3,175,000 from more than 4,300 donors in the recently completed giving year. That's nearly $51,000 above the previous single-year record of 2009.
"The Annual Fund is the life blood of the College, providing the unrestricted support to make so many good things happen for Wabash men," President Patrick White said. "This year's record Annual Fund is testimony to the commitment that alumni, families, faculty and staff, and other friends of the College feel for Wabash.
"I join with everyone at Wabash in thanking those who contributed this year and in congratulating Joe Klen, Director of the Annual Fund, Tom Runge, interim Dean for Advancement, and Alison Kothe, Director of Development, and all in Advancement who worked so hard to bring this success home. "
The annual campaign detail breaks down the successful result. Of the top 10 classes in terms of participation, nine of the top 10 had 50 percent or more participation. Young alumni are continuing the long tradition of supporting their alma mater. The Classes of 2003 and 2007 are the only young alumni classes dating back to 1991 with more than 70 donors.
The classes of 2002-2009 all had participation increases.
"I am overwhelmed at the generosity of alumni and friends of the College in helping set a new record for dollars contributed to the Annual Fund," Director of Annual Giving Joe Klen said. "The increase in unrestricted dollars directly impacts those students and faculty who live and learn together on the Wabash campus every day.
"This year the College demonstrated how gifts to the Annual Fund support the relationships that are at the heart of a Wabash education — relationships between students, with professors and coaches, and the relationships that make the Wabash alumni network second to none. When alumni and friends support the Annual Fund, they are investing the relationships that are at the core of the College's mission to educate men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely. "
The effort to surpass 3 million annually and grow the fund toward 4 million is aided by tremendous alumni support.
"I greatly appreciate the role of alumni leaders who helped reach out to fellow alumni to support the College," President White said. "Class agents, reunion gift chairs, NAWM leaders including President Greg Castanias and Kip Chase, who participated in an important June appeal, and many other individuals modeled in their own giving and in their messages to their friends the importance of giving to Wabash. This commitment and these efforts play a huge role in this success. "

Like I said, this game could end up in the 50s.
The Patriots turned a 14-7 deficit into a 21-14 lead in a hurry, thanks to a 68-yard punt return by Julian Edelman, and a 59-yard interception return for a touchdown by the just-acquired Aqib Talib.
Talib picked an overthrown Andrew Luck pass (Reggie Wayne appeared to be quite open) and zig-zagged across the field for the score, a nice debut for the former Buccaneer. The play was made by Vince Wilfork's pressure up the middle, which caused Luck to change his motion slightly.
But this one has all the marks of a game that will go back and forth all night, and be decided on the final possession.
Or, in the fashion of the early games, in overtime.

Missing Iraqi antiquities discovered in warehouse
BAGHDAD — More than 600 looted artifacts that were retrieved by the United States, shipped back to Iraq and then mysteriously lost finally have been found in the prime minister's warehouse alongside boxes of kitchen supplies, the Iraqi tourism minister said Monday.
The ancient pieces — including clay pots, a bronze Sumerian figurine and stone tablets etched with cuneiform writing — were returned to the Iraqi National Museum, resolving a real-life caper that began when many of them were stolen from a museum in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk in 1991.
U.S. authorities had recovered the pieces over several years, some of which had been put up for auction. In December 2008, Gen. David Petraeus, who was then the commander of American forces in Iraq, had arranged to have them transported to Iraq on a military plane.
It should have been a happy moment for Iraq, which had seen tens of thousands of artifacts from one of the world's most ancient civilizations plundered during the 1990s and after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, and had been working hard to get them back.
What followed instead was an embarrassing mistake, official negligence or some combination of the two.
The U.S. military delivered the pieces, packed in about a dozen boxes, to Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki's office, American and Iraqi officials said. Somehow, the boxes were sent to Maliki's official storage facility, where they sat for nearly two years and apparently were forgotten about.
Earlier this month, Iraq's ambassador to the United States, Samir Sumaidaie, who'd arranged for the pieces to be shipped back in 2008, attended the unveiling of several hundred other retrieved artifacts at the museum in Baghdad. Sumaidaie said that he was trying find out what happened after Maliki's office received the pieces.
The comments were interpreted as putting pressure on an unresponsive prime minister to account for the works, and they appear to have worked.
Maliki formed a committee to look into the matter, and tourism officials announced Sunday that they'd found the 638 pieces.
"We went to the warehouse and we found these boxes," said the minister for tourism and antiquities, Qahtan al Jubouri. "They didn't know what was inside them."
When he was asked whether anyone would be called to account for the blunder, Jubouri demurred. Maliki's office has remained silent on the matter.
The most important piece in the boxes, museum officials said, was a bronze statue credited to the Sumerians, inhabitants of southern Mesopotamia in about 5,000 B.C. An American archeological expedition discovered the figurine in 1968.
Although security remains extremely fragile in Baghdad, officials said they planned to reopen the museum as early as the end of the year.
