The main news story in the Daily News described that Clemens as "unbowed, unruffled and unapologetic" -- unruffled?? -- but that was about it.
Mike Lupica, Daily News:
[I]f you watched the show yesterday, you know that McNamee did better in the end than Clemens did, a lot better, even on a day when Clemens kept telling us how much he loved baseball and America and his late mother and especially the troops.Dan Shaughnessy, Globe:
Clemens had every Republican in this room, including a hyena named Dan Burton of Indiana, acting as defense attorneys for him and prosecutors against McNamee. But even they couldn't save him. ...
But no matter how many speeches Clemens gave, especially when teed up by one of his friends in the room, one of those he had lobbied over the last week, here was the money quote that wouldn't go away, and at the very least could end him up in front of a grand jury sometime soon:
Pettitte: "In 1999 or 2000, I had a conversation with Roger Clemens in which Roger told me he had taken human growth hormone. This conversation occurred at his gym in Memorial, Tex. He did not tell me where he got the HGH or from whom, but he did tell me that it helped his body recover."
Clemens last week visited more than 20 representatives - an outrageous parade that compromised the hearing and painted numerous elected officials as fanboy/sycophants. Listening to the questions yesterday, you could pretty much tell which reps got autographed baseballs and signed photos for their office walls.Peter Gelzinis, Herald:
Representative Dan Burton, Republican of Indiana, was buffoon of the day (did you notice the Lone Star cuff links?), bashing the media, reminding us that Roger is a "titan" in baseball ...
Representative Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina, produced four photographs of Clemens, a progression dating to his Red Sox days, and insisted, "You appear to be the same size."
Good observation, Ginny. That's like saying Michael Jackson's features haven't changed since he posed for the cover of "Thriller."
Hope they all have their autographed Rocket jerseys. Too bad they didn't bother to read Andy Pettitte's deposition. ... Pettitte is the smoking gun. ... Pettitte's deposition shreds Clemens's story.
In a sworn deposition before the committee, Pettitte corroborated everything Brian McNamee, the ex-trainer, hanger-on and steroid hustler, told the feds about the pitcher's use of human growth hormone.Howard Bryant, ESPN.com:
This left the bottled Rocket in the ridiculous position of trying to tell Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland that, no, his ol' buddy and workout partner wasn't lying when he told the committee he and Roger had talked about steroids and HGH. No, Andy was misrememberin'. Yeah, that's the ticket. Misrememberin'. ...
What the Rocket never denied, however, is that in her search for youthfulness, Debbie Clemens allowed her husband's personal trainer Brian McNamee to give her a butt shot of HGH, right there in the master bedroom of the Clemens' Texas Ponderosa.
Clemens had his day under oath in front of the country, and he spent it flailing, splashing against relentless waves of facts he could not calm, even after 4½ hours. ...Mike Vaccarro, Post:
[H]is improbable position remains: He has asked the public to believe that his handpicked personal trainer obtained human growth hormone, and used it on his most loyal protégé as well as his wife, but not on him. ...
Clemens, meanwhile, revealed himself as incapable of introspection or culpability. When cornered, he attempted to bully, but Room 2154 of the Rayburn House Office Building is not a pitcher's mound and he did not hold the gavel. Not being in control frustrated Clemens, and he did not know what to do.
He avoided accountability for his role in his own drama. At no point during the day did he take responsibility for the direction of his career or the choices he's made. ... Clemens had an answer for everything the committee asked him, and each answer, when sifted to its essence, was that nothing was his fault. ... He threw his entire team -- family, friends, agent, team doctors, everyone -- under the bus. And they all had to take it, because he's Roger Clemens.
No matter how angrily Clemens shouts into microphones, no matter how ardently his team of lawyers tries to spin this story - and no matter how stridently Clemens' camp tries to discredit McNamee's character, which is hardly a difficult task - we keep coming back to a simple formula of logic:Phil Mushnick, Post:
McNamee told the truth, under threat of prosecution, about Andy Pettitte.
McNamee told the truth, under threat of prosecution, about Chuck Knoblauch.
It defies logic, then, that McNamee would choose to spin wild, fantastic tales about Roger Clemens, the one member of that triumvirate with whom he had a personal relationship. It is inexplicable why McNamee, who would face jail time only if he lied with feds in the room, would decide to serve up Clemens out of thin air.
... [N]ot until nearly four hours after the hearing began did someone on the 41-member congressional committee ask Clemens why he didn't choose to be injected by, say, oh, a doctor, as opposed to Brian McNamee. And when Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) injected that question, Clemens answered:Gene Wojciechowski, ESPN.com:
"I'm a trusting person."
Oh, OK.
After the hearings, one of the first questions reporters asked Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin, was why Clemens chose to be treated by McNamee instead of a doctor.
"Do you call a doctor every time you don't feel good?" Hardin answered.
Well, a doctor does come to mind, certainly as opposed to everyone else - especially if I told him to come on over "and don't forget the syringes."
Pettitte, in absentia, called Clemens, in so many words, a liar. In return, Clemens politely called Pettitte, in so many words, a nitwit who was mistaken about past conversations between them regarding performance-enhancing substances. ...Clemens:
So, in review, when Pettitte says Clemens was on the juice, it's a case of a good guy who simply misheard and made an innocent mistake. But when McNamee alleges the same thing -- granted, in much greater volume and detail -- Team Clemens tries to kneecap the guy's credibility.
Somebody is trying to break my spirit in this room. They are not going to break my spirit.Richard Emery, McNamee's lawyer:
It's not going to be hard to prove that he lied today. We believe he will be referred [for a criminal investigation] because the evidence is so overwhelming.Rusty Hardin:
I think Roger showed the kind of person he is ...

About 25,000 LED lights were turned on tonight as part of an impressive light sculpture on the western span of the Bay Bridge.
"The Bay Lights," an $8 million privately funded project created by artist Leo Villareal, will wow visitors near the bridge for at least the next two years, the artist and other dignitaries said before the 9 p.m. lighting ceremony.
Mayor Ed Lee said an estimated 50 million people in San Francisco and the North and East Bay will eventually see the lights, which cannot be viewed from cars on the bridge but will glitter in abstract patterns for about seven hours each night.
Villareal said the public nature of the lights, installed on the Bay Bridge's vertical cables, was what attracted him to the project, which was inspired by the bridge's 75th anniversary and took more than two years to plan, install and test.
"This piece is incredibly accessible, you don't have to buy a ticket, you don't have to go into a building, it's there and available," he said, calling it a "digital campfire that people can be around and enjoy."
Indeed, restaurants along San Francisco's waterfront were booked up well before tonight by people wanting a front-row seat for the lighting ceremony.
"We have had to turn down hundreds of people," said Duane Stinson, general manager at Sinbad's Seafood Restaurant directly adjacent to the Ferry Building on The Embarcadero. "There's been tons of people asking about it," he said.
Lee said "The Bay Lights" will serve as "a beacon for our arts community" and will complement other large events on the waterfront, including the America's Cup sailing race starting later this year.
The mayor said he thinks the light sculpture may be so popular that people will want to keep it beyond the two years for which it has permits from state officials. "People, including myself, will want this to be ongoing," he said.
Ben Davis, chairman of Illuminate the Arts, the group overseeing the project, said even if the lights remain past the current two-year plan, they would likely have to come down when Caltrans does its repainting and scheduled maintenance of the bridge cables in five years.
"It's on a living, working bridge and that bridge needs to be maintained," Davis said. "It's going to have to come down and another solution will have to be found or it will be an ephemeral work like it was designed to be."
The project is still seeking about $2 million in funding, which Davis said he was confident will be raised.
"This is an amazing, forward-moving project that has momentum, and the love is just starting to mount for it," he said.
Illuminate the Arts would have to foot the bill for any gap in the funding, he said. As part of the fundraising effort, organizers are offering a "Gift of Light" campaign in which people can name one of the 25,000 lights in honor of a loved one.
Davis said the campaign has raised about $70,000 so far.
Tonight's lighting ceremony was streamed live on the project's website, www.thebaylights.org, where more than 10,000 people tuned in to see the lights come on in steady rain that began falling in San Francisco only a short time before the 9 p.m. ceremony.
Lee and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom joined Villareal under umbrellas as the artist turned on the installation to cheers from a crowd at the invitation-only event at a waterfront hotel.
People wishing to find out more about the project or to donate can visit www.thebaylights.org.

It is what Call of Duty shoud've been in terms of "evolution of MMS gerne". Few things were added since beta as few perks and weapons. Maps are in general well made and designed with "hunter becoming the hunted" vertical gameplay in mind. Game modes are the biggest downfall of the game, since it has TDM, CTF, DOM, LTS and Attrition with no lengtly objective based modes as Enemy Territory or Brink. Most people's complaints are "that's not enough" (be it game modes or content for the price) even if the game is crapton of fun and we already know of 4 planned DLC packs coming our way, so prepare your wallet for them map packs. It is great, it is fun, but some people will be rightfully downed by those crawling "issues".
MrBrooks wrote:Single Player and MP integration is basically just what we saw in the Beta, then? Some voice over BS and that's it?
MrBrooks wrote:I'm not impressed, to be honest.
eStecko wrote:MrBrooks wrote:I'm not impressed, to be honest.
Nobody cares about SP in FPS games with focus on MP since CoD4. So why would they bother with one anyway.
MrBrooks wrote:You know, I kind of wanted to see if someone could pull off this kind of integration. Nevermind that it was one of TF-s selling point, I wanted to see if they could make rounds "feel" as if they mattered, even if it was for the first 10-20 rounds or so. A half-assed attempt at this was the last thing I was expecting.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The change of seasons transitions the Lipscomb track and field squad indoors, serving as a prelude to the outdoor season.
"Indoor season is getting things going and seeing where we are at," Lipscomb head coach Bill Taylor said. "Coming off the Christmas break and having a meet on Jan. 5 is a good motivator to see where everyone is at."
With a young squad, including 17 freshmen, the Bisons will lean on leadership from some top performers from a year ago.
The Bisons welcome back all-conference performer and defending 200-meter dash champion Tucker Peabody. The junior picked up the 200-meter dash victory in 21.30. The time was nearly sixth-tenths of a second faster than second place.
"Tucker has been working with the mental side of running," said sprints coach Marcus Evans. "Mentally, with an athlete, is where a lot of improvement can come and to become an elite runner you need to have the mentality."
Peabody fell just shy of qualifying for the national meet and looks to make the next step this year. His school-record of 21.28 set at the Niswonger Foundation Invitational left him two-hundredths of a second out of the national meet.
The 4X400 meter relay squad finished second in the Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships last season and pulled through for the gold medal in the outdoor leg of the season. They will look to carry the momentum back indoors returning three of the four runners. Peabody, junior Kenny Smith and sophomore Colin Dempster along with Bobby Bassett timed in at 3:19.28, a school-record, for the second place finish.
"The 4X4 got a taste of what it is like to be the best relay team in the conference in the outdoor season and they don't want to lose it," Evans said.
"We have created a culture where people want to be on the 4X4 as it is one of the most exciting events on the track featuring some of the best athletes," said Head Coach Bill Taylor.
As a freshman last season, Dempster was the top-newcomer in the 400 meter run, earning all-conference with a time of 49.04.
Senior distance runners Geoff Musick and Isaiah Greer are anxious to get back into the competitive mode as they redshirted during the cross country season. Greer has previously earned all-conference honors in the 5000m.
"We have several freshmen coming off their first cross country season," Taylor said. "We will continue to look for improvement from them throughout the indoor season."
The throwers return sophomore Houston Ward, the top freshman thrower in the conference last season, after earning all-conference in the shot put. His throw of 15.26m (50' 0.75") was good for the bronze medal. He is first Lipscomb thrower to earn a medal at the indoor championships.
Logan Ray got off to a great start last season before an injury derailed the year for him. The junior had the third-best triple jump of the year at 14.63m (48' 0"), which he achieved at the Ed Temple Classic.
"We look for Adam Austin to continue his improvement from the outdoor season," jumps coach Luke Syverson said. "He will look to carry that momentum into the indoor season as he was also all-conference during the 2010 season.
"We also add Gemikal Prude who jumped 6' 10" unattached in an outdoor meet last season. We look forward to having him join the squad this year."
The Bisons first meet will be at the Ed Temple Classic, hosted by Tennessee State University on Jan. 5. They travel to the Blazer Invite in Birmingham, Ala., on Jan. 11. Partial squads will compete in those two meets before ramping up the entire team for the Niswonger Invite in Johnson City, Tenn., on Jan. 18 and 19.
Heading back to Tennessee State, Lipscomb will compete in the TSU Invite on Feb. 2. A pair of meets on Feb. 8 and 9 will have the Bisons at the Samford Invite in Birmingham and at the Indiana Hoosiers Hills Invite in Bloomington, Ind.
The A-Sun Indoor Track and Field Championships takes place on the campus of ETSU on Feb. 22 and 23 in Johnson City.

Waning attendance, maintenance of aging building have precipitated closure; food pantry and soup kitchen will continue
FALL RIVER — As have so many others, Sacred Heart Church, 160 Seabury St., will cease to offer Mass, burials, First Communion, Confirmation and all the other sacraments that mark the progression of a Catholic life.
"The church will close on Nov. 23," said John Kearns, director of communications for the Diocese of Fall River. "Members will be invited to join St. Mary's."
St. Mary's, located in downtown Fall River, serves as the Fall River Diocese cathedral.
The reason for the closing is, like many others before it, a lack of parishioners along with rising expenses and an aging facility. Sacred Heart Parish was established in 1872, and the church building was completed in 1883. According to Kearns, no decision has yet been made about the eventual fate of the building.
According to figures released by the diocese Monday, Sacred Heart's two weekend Masses drew an average combined total of 206 worshippers in a church that seats 900. In 2013, there were 10 baptisms, three weddings, five children receiving First Communion and no teenage parishioners receiving Confirmation. Kearns said all of those numbers have been shrinking since 2000.
A press release from the diocese said Sacred Heart has accumulated significant debt in the last few years as a smaller congregation has made it harder to keep up with the bills.
"They have had difficulty with health insurance, property insurance, other things," Kearns said.
But it was the church's old, broken boiler that brought things to a head.
"The issue of the boiler just made the decision," Kearns said. The church, he said, couldn't afford to repair or replace the boiler and couldn't make it through another winter without a reliable heat source.
Sacred Heart Pastor the Rev. Raymond Cambra took counsel with the diocese and was asked to meet with the Sacred Heart Parish Pastoral Council to consider a date to close the church.
One thing that will endure is the Sacred Heart weekly soup kitchen and bimonthly food pantry, both in existence since 2004. Both the soup kitchen and food pantry will continue to operate out of the Holy Rosary Chapel and will still be called The Sacred Heart Kitchen and Food Pantry.

I just read a post by Peep Laja which talked about the old advice of inventing a new category to be able to charge more for your products than just slotting into a predefined definition, followed by a post by Neville Hobson on an attempt to redefine what PR means. And both have reinforced my belief that you only create new categories and redefine existing ones by actually going out and doing stuff.
As much as I can have respect for the people who get caught up in debates about what PR, Social Media Marketing, Content Marketing, Transmedia, SEO, etc all should mean exactly, the simple fact is that noone cares. Seth Godin talked about successful modern marketing beginning with product planning and development, but still many businesses and consumers see marketing as part of advertising.
When I try and define what I do for people, it comes out as:
- I write for my own projects
- I write for other people's projects
- I market my own projects
- I market other people's projects
- I run training courses in writing and marketing
- I run training courses in writing and marketing for other people
- I provide research for my own projects
- I provide research for other people
- I host my own websites
- I provide hosting for other people
- I manage my own paid advertising campaigns
- I manage paid advertising campaigns for other people
- I manage affiliate campaigns for other people
- Or I do: Writing, Journalism, Blogging, Natural SEO, Paid SEO, PPC, Content Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Training, Tutoring, Affiliate Management, Community Management, Analytics,
Either way, it means I should need the world's biggest business cards. I don't.
But actually, what tends to happen is that my client list has grown from referrals from existing clients or from people finding out about me for one area of what I do, and those that are more rewarding for me in terms of enjoyment and financial rewards grow more quickly than areas that I might not favour, so over time my reputation in some areas will naturally build and lead to more focus.
Defining what you and your brand do:
Rather than worrying too much about an exact definition, it's better to have an idea which you and any employees can broadly follow, but also be flexible within. I always loved the idea of my former employers at Absolute Radio, which was that we were 'a digital entertainment company with audio at it's core', and targetted 'reluctant adults'. That meant we always focused on sound and sound quality first, and always prioritised those people who were incredibly passionate about their interest (music, comedy, sport), but it didn't matter whether we had an idea for a website, mobile app, radio station, or anything else, as long as it involved the best possible audio and delighted the right people. And in a challenging market for all broadcasters, it seems like they're doing better than ever.
But noone ever tuned in because of those definitions – they tuned in because they liked what they heard as a result.
Too often I speak to companies who declare that 'their customers don't do it that way' – and it turns out that actually it's because they don't allow customers to interact that way for some reason.
Or that customers 'just don't get what we're trying to do'. Or that 'clients just don't understand'.
Building brands – do stuff, monitor, do more stuff:
You don't build a brand simply by having logos or mission statements. Those are brand assets. What builds a brand is making stuff available, seeing how people respond and then building on it. Google didn't define itself as a search engine, it set out to index the world's information. Apple didn't say it only made personal computers – it put design into technology, whether it's a Mac, iPhone or iPad. The legendary production line methods of Ford went from one colour of car to over 1000 different variations for the Ford Transit van alone.
Obviously to be successful, it's not enough to be different – the recent demise of Saab is one example of how you can be known for being unusual but still fail due to not managing sales and costs effectively. But that name will still stand out for many years for a lot of people, and it's easier to optimise a supply chain than to become known for brilliance and character.
Look at Amazon – offering web servers, books and Kindles. Artists such as Hugh McLeod, Tom Fishbourne, or Penny Arcade. Authors like William Gibson. Musicians from Robert Johnson to Hendrix to Skrillex. 37Signals and Wunderlist are as much about design as project management. I'm already incredibly excited about HiutDenim because I know Howies and The Do Lectures.
Put stuff out there and look at the response, using the wealth of data that is available and complimenting it with the right research.
Industries and reputations:
Some industries stuggle with their reputation. Obviously banks and bankers aren't particularly well respected at the moment, and neither are journalists.
At the same time, SEO and Social Media 'snake oil salesman' has become a common criticism for digital marketing.
And yet I know brilliant journalists, SEOs and Social Media specialists who are incredibly well-respected and constantly in-demand because they do brilliant things consistently well. I've also had meetings with top marketing and SEO agencies which ended in disaster because they seemed to spend all their time talking a good game in public, but not delivering on it directly in a client meeting.
I actually have a couple of lists which are close to my heart – one is a list of companies I'd love to work with, whether as a freelancer or even possibly as a full-time employee because over the years I've known them, they always done things brilliantly (I also have a list of companies who seem to squander their potential and wish they'd let me help sort it out).
And I have another list of individuals I'd love to work with on a project at some point – it's grown to quite a size over the years, with everyone from creative talents to hard-headed business people. And pretty much everyone on the list has worked on multiple projects, sometimes concurrently, but what they've done is always interesting or exciting or innovative or profitable – often all four.
The simple fact is that I don't worry about crap definitions of the industries I nominally work in. And I've stopped worrying about being painted with the same brush as the snake oil salesman. If a million people see a great example of content marketing, or social media, or SEO that I've been involved in, then that's far better mechanism for change than debating definitions.

Simple things like falling over or being or an over-enthusiastic dog can show them that scary things happen. These experiences, combined with an over-active imagination, may even create ongoing phobias.
Common toddler fears
Some of the more common fears that toddlers have include fear of the dark, baths, animals and even cupboards. Sometimes the fear may not be so bad and with a little parent explanation and encouragement your toddler can easily overcome them. Children can often become fearful if one or more of their parents are anxious and fret, so it's important to remain calm and in control. Try not to make the world a too scary a place.
If your toddler's fear becomes too big that it's impacting your life, there are many ways you can help him deal with it.
Conquering toddler fears
When you become scared your body tenses up and your breathing becomes faster. Kimberley O'Brien, Principal Psychologist at Quirky Kid suggests teaching your toddler to notice that his breathing is getting faster, teach him them to take some deep breaths to normalise himself.
Kimberley also suggests what she calls 'psycho education' - which means going and finding one of the many children's books available that deals with fear. Sitting down and reading it with your child can help start a conversation and also help your toddler deal with his fears in a fun and comfortable way.
A really good way to help your child conquer a fear is to gently expose him to his fear, then gradually increase the exposure. This will help show him that he has nothing to fear. The best way to tackle this is to develop a plan with your child to follow. For example, if he's afraid of the bath, you can start by having a small amount of water in the bath, then gradually add more, then use a jug to pour a little on his hands, then pour a little on the back of his neck. Keep taking small steps until he feels comfortable and confident. "Make sure you reward him a long the way," says Kimberley. "It can be a trip to the park or a special ride on his scooter."
Irrational toddler fears
Toddlers have really active imaginations and often have trouble recognising the difference between fiction and reality. A scary fairytale book, television show or TV news may be terrifying to your toddler, so if they are impacting upon him, maybe try and avoid them for a little while. Many toddlers are often afraid of things like monsters under the bed or in their cupboard. These types of bedtime fears can be a little more difficult to deal with.
The most important thing is not to start doing things like checking their bedroom for 'monsters' - this can actually make your child think there's a chance they might be there. Just calmly and confidently reiterate to them that there's no such thing as monsters and that they are safe in their beds. A nightlight or a hall light on may help to lessen their fear.
Other ways to help your toddler with fear
Make sure he gets plenty of exercise, as this can help reduce tension and anxiety.
- Don't belittle his fear. It's very real to him, so listen and respond to it.
- Don't make a fuss to others about his fear as it may make him feel more anxious.
- Ask him to explain what it is exactly that he's afraid of and reassure him.
- Ask him what you can do to help ease his fear.

Difference between revisions of "Boston/South End"
Revision as of 14:47, 12 August 2009
The South End, with its blocks of Victorian brick row houses, upscale restaurants, and art galleries, is swiftly becoming one of the most popular places to live in Boston. Many of the row houses underwent renovation starting in the 1960s. Located just minutes from downtown and the Back Bay, in recent years the South End has become one of Boston's most popular neighborhoods. It has attracted a diverse blend of families, young professionals, a gay and lesbian community and a thriving artistic center to this Boston Landmark District. You will be sure to notice the South End's renowned Victorian brownstone buildings and homes as you walk along Tremont Street, Columbus Avenue, Washington Street and Massachusetts Avenue. Small business owners also enjoy the amenities of the South End and are supported by the national award winning Washington Gateway Main Streets Program. Some of Boston's finest restaurants, a thriving arts community and nearly thirty parks also call the South End home.
Get in
South End has some of the most wonderful restored brownstones in the area, which offers a stark contrast from the modernism of some other parts of Boston. It is also a very enjoyable place to stroll in the evenings. Many small gardens and parks are tucked between the warren of small, intimate streets.
Bay Village is one of the smallest neighborhoods in Boston, about 6 square blocks around Piedmont Street east of Arlington. After the original mud flats were drained in the early 1800s, many craftsmen involved in the construction of Beacon Hill's premier residences built their own modest but well-crafted houses here. Consequently, there are many architectural similarities between these two neighborhoods. It wasn't until the Prohibition years (1920s) that Bay Village got its bohemian ambience. It has now become the center for Boston's gay community.
Theatre Boston Center for the Arts - 4 Smaller Venues serving over a dozen Boston theatre companies. Box office at Calderwood Pavillion, 527 Tremont Street.
Trendy restaurants brush shoulders with coffeshops and Mom & Pop grocery stores along Tremont Street and its side streets all the way down to Washington Street (link to Wash. Main Streets), which is experiencing an artistic revival - a significant number of artists are moving in, and galleries are cropping up around the area to show their works.
The last several years have seen a resurgence of new restaurants in the South End, particularly on Tremont and Washington streets. South End dining tends to be fairly expensive, especially towards the north side of it, near Union Park Street.
Visitors to the South End should understand while the area is very family-friendly, it is also very gay friendly place. Same sex couples are a common sight. Visitors who do not wish to visit the "Gay area" of town should refrain from visiting.

I have been a public insurance adjuster for over 25 years. The core of what I do is represent business owners and homeowners against their insurance companies in the aftermath of a catastrophie. Fire, Natural Disaster, Bioterrorism, Environmental Hazard, Explosion, Collapse, Flood, Vandalsim, Etc.
My firm has experts on staff to review your insurance policy and determine coverages. We also, inspect physical damages, list the contents and investigate lost revenue, all of which is packaged and presented to the insurance company. It's more complicated than that but I just want you to get some flavor.
I'm someone that loves color. While I'm not a fine artist in the true sense, what I do has been described as a true art form by my collegues and clients.
New and existing markets. We are a progressive firm. We can mobilze and have handled claims in every region of the United States (and many around the world).
Attorney's, Accountants, Insurance Brokers/Agents, Real Estate Dealers are the kinds of folks who refer us to new clients. It's tough because people will only have a need for our services after they suffer a loss. Given that, when someone they know has a loss they'll tell their friend or loved one "you have to hire that guy".
We have handled high profile World Trade Center terrorism claims and we have handled residential pipe breaks. It's quite a gamut but we don't descriminate.
In the past we have had a Globe as our logo and used purple and green as the primary colors. I'm not attached to that but want the international presence to felt.
I want it to look cool, clean and speak to more that just an insurance claim.

by Stephen Day » Sun May 08, 2011 4:01 pmA prom with young super heroes isn't something I've ever read before and I enjoyed what I read. Most of the interpersonal stuff was fun to read, but I think I enjoyed the interaction between Hazmat and Mettle the most. It came across as two lonely people finding each other which has always been something I've enjoyed. The only part that came across as a character being off was Firestar throwing Justice into the table.
Overall I'd say it was good, but not fantastic, definitely above average. Let's give it a 6 out of 10.

by Punchy » Mon May 09, 2011 5:00 amAvengers Academy #13 - 'Prom Night' - Gage, Chen, Hanna & Cox
Story - For a book that stars mostly all-new characters, it's surprising how Avengers Academy is perhaps the most traditional Avengersy of all the various and sundry Avengers comics. It's the book that's dealt with the most traditional Avengersy villains, including the classic threat of Korvac, and most of all, it tells it's stories in the most traditional way. No Bendis back-and-forths here, and no terse Brubaker spy stuff, this is a classic superhero comic in all the best ways.
And this issue is another classic superhero story, the pause for breath issue. Like how the X-Men occasionally take a break from being hated and feared by those they protect by playing Baseball, the AA gang take a break from being trained to be the next generation of Avengers by having a Prom.
I must admit that I was confused by the timing of this. Being an Englishman I am of course not as familiar with the Prom as you Americans, but aren't they normally reserved for when students graduate? These guys are nowhere near graduation! But that doesn't really matter, it was a good excuse for some cool guest-stars and some decent character moments.
It wouldn't really be a Prom if there were only like 6 attendees, so various other Marvel teen heroes pop up, mostly the Young Allies and a couple of characters from Avengers: The Initiative that had been left in limbo, like Batwing, Hardball and everyone's favourite uesless fat-ass Butterball. And also some New Warriors, who are surely too old for Prom? It was good to see this next generation of heroes come together and spend some time together. We all know that these guys will never actually get to become the main characters of the Marvel Universe, but it's still fun to see how well Marvel has done at introducing new characters.
What follows at the Prom is some pretty standard Teen drama really, characters hooking up, characters arguing and all that stuff. I particularly liked the development of a relationship between Hazmat and Mettle, they are making quite a cute couple. I also liked Justice and Firestar's reconciliation. They were members of the main Avengers back when I first began to follow the series, and I've always had a soft spot for them.
So yeah, not much happened in this issue, some slight growth, and some interesting stuff between Hank Pym and Tigra. I really like Hank now that Jan is dead, just like how Cyclops became infinitely more interesting when Jean popped her clogs, Hank is more appealing when 'the love of his life' is dead. Not that I hate the Wasp or anything, I just think they work better apart, and we don't constantly get reminded that he smacked her upside her head. Oh yeah, and I was kind of disappointed that Reptil went back to being a teen so quickly, that looked like it was going to be a long-running plot. And they also missed a good opportunity to have him score the kids some booze for their prom. You're telling me that if one of your friends looked like he was 35 you wouldn't use it to get some booze? These kids are supposed to be (possibly almost) villains!
So yeah, this wasn't a momentous issue or anything, it was a character issue, and was a welcome breather after the crazy time-travel cosmic shenanigans of the Korvac arc. And with the Secret Six coming up, these characters needed a bit of a breather. Yes there were some silly moments and unreasonable actions, but these are troubled teens and this book does a better job than most of getting across teenage emotions, and this issue is no exception...
...except for the ill-advised use of Katy Perry's laughably bad song "Firework". That scene was pretty bad, not only is the song trite rubbish, but I can't really believe that characters as fucked up as the Avengers Academy would like Katy Perry, they'd be into darker music than that, it should have been The Smiths or something. Unless of course Finesse actually has felt like a plastic bag, Reptil felt so paper thin and Veil like a house or cards, so close from caving in.
Art - Sean Chen does a decent job of filling in here. He's been an artist I've been familiar with since he did Heroes Return Iron Man with Kurt Busiek way back when, and he's always been a decent pinch-hitter for any Marvel book since then. He doesn't set my world on fire, but he's a very good artist all the same. I think the best work he did here was making Adult Reptil and Teen Reptil look like the same person at different ages.
Best Line - 'Hey! Settle! No fighting amongst ourselves. This isn't the X-Men'
by SilverPhoenix » Mon May 09, 2011 11:28 amFirst off, let me apologize for getting in my pick later than I promised to. Mother's Day occupied a lot more of my time than I thought it was going to.
With that out of the way, the book that will be reviewing for Week #274 is....
Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt #1
With a growing sense of uncertainty and despair gripping the nation--and the world--the remnants of the Initiative program are sworn in as federal agents charged with keeping the peace. Their ensuing actions, however, threaten to plunge America's young heroes into civil war! Featuring AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE stars THOR GIRL, ULTRAGIRL, CLOUD 9, KOMDO and HARDBALL--plus FIRESTAR, GRAVITY and some very cool surprises--YOUTH IN REVOLT brings the horror of FEAR ITSELF to the doorstep of a generation!
God I hope this doesn't suck.

AT&T has officially announced availability dates for both the Nokia Lumia 900 and the HTC TITAN II in a press release sent out today. The TITAN II is also set to join the 900 and be launched on April 8th, for $199.99 on contract. Should you be on the network and awaiting solid second generation handsets, the choice of the TITAN II or Lumia 900 is certainly an intriguing one.
The HTC TITAN II, a 4G LTE Windows Phone, packs a 4.7" LCD display, 1.4Ghz chip, 16MP rear camera, 512MB RAM and 16GB storage space. The handset is also heading to Telstra in Australia in early April as well, with some UK stores removing the original TITAN from product lists - we could be seeing a global rollout later in April.

Scared or stupid has nothing to do with it. They will make mistakes, which is fine but inevitable. They look very much like rookies at times.

Feb. 26, 2009
TOWSON, Md. – MIT senior Jimmy Bartolotta headlined the 2008-09 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America men's basketball team, as selected by the College Sports Information Director of America (CoSIDA). Recently selected as a finalist for the coveted Jostens Trophy for the second consecutive year, Bartolotta earned the fourth Academic All-America of the Year honor for MIT and the first in the history of the men's basketball program.
A native of Littleton, Colo., Bartolotta majors in Management Science and Physics and is set to graduate with a 4.6 grade-point average on a 5.0 scale. During the season, he became MIT's all-time leading scorer and currently has 2,175 points. A two-time All-NEWMAC first team selection, he led the conference in scoring as a junior with a 23.9 scoring average. Bartolotta, who broke the MIT single game scoring record with 43 points earlier this year, is the nation's third-leading scorer with an average of 27.8 points per game. He has scored 30 or more points in 13 games this year while leading MIT to an 18-8 record and a spot in the semifinals of the NEWMAC Championship Tournament.
A first team ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America selection in 2008, Bartolotta was honored as a 2008 NABC Northeast All-District second team pick along with earning honorable mention All-American honors from D3Hoops.
In addition to his outstanding work in the class room and on the court, the three-time NEWMAC Academic All-Conference selection volunteers his time at the Cambridge Community Charter School mentoring middle school children. Last summer, Bartolotta served as a senior intern at Lockheed Martin.

Health care
Mauritania's health facilies are established all across inhabited parts of the country, but quality and capacity is highly insufficient. In a country with more than 3 million inhabitnats there are just above 300 doctors, and only about 2,400 hospital beds. There is only one large hospital is in Nouakchott. Other towns and communities are served by 25 health centres of which 15 are maternity clinics.
As a general rule, health services are provided for free for citizens on low income.
There has been some privitization since the 1990's
Health conditions and diseasesThe main health issues are related to malaria, tuberculosis, measles, dysentery and influenza. Child mortality remains a challenge, much due to unhygienic conditions and lack of medical care during birth. Use of contraception was in 1990 only 3% among married women.
Widespread diseases of Mauritania are tuberculosis, intestinal and eye diseases.
Mauritania is another country where many are subjected to female genital mutilation. Figures from 1994 show that about 25% are affected.
Figures of 2006 from WHO show that 60% have good access to clean water, but as little as 24% access to good sanitation. Sanitation access is as low as 10% in the countryside, but that only 44% have access to good sanitation in cities is probably more alarming.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. – The NCAA is facing a new legal attack after the family of the late coach Joe Paterno was joined by former players and others connected to Penn State in a lawsuit seeking to overturn the landmark sanctions for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Long rumored to be under development, the 40-page lawsuit filed Thursday tries to show that the NCAA and its top leadership overstepped the organization's own rules in levying penalties against the football program with uncharacteristic speed, representatives for the Paterno family have said. They hoped it would raise new questions about the university's internal investigation led by former FBI director Louis Freeh, along with how and why the NCAA used Freeh's report as a basis for its sanctions in July.
A statement late Wednesday night from Paterno family attorney Wick Sollers said the case would be "further proof that the NCAA has lost sense of its mission" after college sports' governing body relied on Freeh's explosive report. Freeh asserted last July that Paterno and three school officials concealed allegations against Sandusky, a retired defensive coordinator; the NCAA announced its sanctions less than two weeks later.
"If there was ever a situation that demanded meticulous review and a careful adherence to NCAA rules and guidelines, this was it," Sollers said in the statement. "Instead, the NCAA placed a premium on speed over accuracy and precipitous action over due process."
It suit is the latest filing in a tangled web of litigation related to the sanctions. Most prominently, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA, which also has faced criticism for a botched investigation of Miami and departures in the enforcement division.
On Wednesday, Sollers and other family representatives spoke with Bob Costas on his NBC Sports Network show, along with other media, in previewing the latest lawsuit.
The NCAA said Wednesday it had not received any such lawsuit and could not comment.
"Despite our request, the Paterno family has not shared any information about its planned legal action," chief legal officer Donald Remy said in a statement. "We remain committed to working with Penn State toward the continued successful completion of our voluntary agreement with the university and to working" with the NCAA's independent monitor, former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell.
Penn State spokesman Dave La Torre said the school was not a party to any litigation that might be filed by the family and remained committed to "full compliance" with the sanctions.
"We look forward to continuing to work with Sen. George Mitchell and recognize the important role that intercollegiate athletics provides for our student athletes and the wider university community," the statement from La Torre said.
NCAA president Mark Emmert and Oregon State President Edward Ray, who was chair of the NCAA's executive committee, "acted in clear and direct violation of the organization's own rules based on a flawed report" by Freeh, said the statement from family representatives.
Sollers said Freeh is not named as a defendant, but is listed as a "co-conspirator" in the lawsuit. He says that there were close communications between the NCAA and Freeh's team throughout the investigation.
The Associated Press left messages Wednesday for a spokesman for Freeh.
Paterno's son, Jay Paterno, and Bill Kenney were two former Paterno assistants taking part in the action against the NCAA, the statement said. Also joining in the suit were five trustees, including vocal critic Anthony Lubrano and former player Adam Taliaferro; four faculty members; and other nine ex-Penn State players, including Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson, according to the statement.
Dick Thornburgh, a former U.S. attorney general and Pennsylvania governor, also was interviewed by Costas. Thornburgh was one of the authors of a critique released in February and commissioned by the Paterno family that called Freeh's work a "rush to injustice."
Freeh accused Paterno and three former university officials of covering up allegations against Sandusky, who was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison after being convicted last year of dozens of criminal counts of abuse including assaults on and off campus.
Paterno died in January 2012. His family and the former school officials have vehemently denied they took part in a cover-up.
Sollers said the NCAA bypassed its typical lengthy investigative process and relied on Freeh's report, then bullied Penn State behind the scenes into agreeing to the sanctions.
The university board as a whole entity has never formally discussed, nor has it voted on Freeh's report, though its members have embraced many of Freeh's recommendations to improve university governance and procedures.
The penalties against Penn State included a $60 million fine. The NCAA also vacated 111 wins from Paterno's record, meaning he would no longer hold the title of major college football's winningest coach.
The lawsuit lodges six counts against the NCAA, Emmert and Ray, including breach of contract, civil conspiracy, defamation and commercial disparagement, according to Sollers' statement.
Sollers has said the suit would ask for the sanctions and agreement between school and the NCAA to be deemed unlawful and the penalties overturned.
The lawsuit also would ask for unspecified damages and court costs, Sollers said, though the family would donate any net proceeds to charity.
"The broader goal is to get the truth out," Sollers told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. "This narrative that's in public that was perpetuated by the NCAA's adoption of the deeply flawed Freeh report ... cannot stand."
The family planned to post the complaint on www.paterno.com after it was filed.

He Said/She Said: A Bride & Groom-to-be Respond to Questions About Their Upcoming Wedding Day
Couples don't always agree on every wedding detail. We asked a bride and groom-to-be to share their thoughts on everything from the first time they met to the party planning and what they're looking forward to most about their wedding day! See how one couple's responses compare.
The Bride-to-be: Rebecca Sametz, 23
The Groom-to-be: David Grassi, 25
When did you get engaged?
She said: July 29, 2012
He said: July 29, 2012
How did you first meet?
She said: We met while attending the University of Kentucky basketball lottery where we had mutual friends there.
He said: One of my closest friends had a huge crush on Becka, and he kept bringing her over to my house for parties and movie nights and football games. Looking back it wasn't the smartest move he's ever made.
When/how did you first fall in love with your significant other?
She sad: I fell in love with David during the months that I lived with him in New Jersey the summer before I started graduate school in Michigan. His warm heart and dedication to our relationship was displayed and I always told myself that when I find someone that I can be with 24/7, that was the man that I was going to marry.
He said: I don't remember the exact time or place or memory that made me fall in love with her, but I do remember when I realized I was. One weekend a few friends came to visit me in NJ, and we made a trip to NYC. The whole time I was there I wouldn't shut up about her. Every store we went to I was looking for things to buy her, every interesting thing I saw I wanted to tell her about, every joke I told I kept waiting to hear her laugh. We had been doing the long-distance thing for months at this point, and it was that weekend that I realized that I loved her, and never wanted to spend another day without her.
What's the most memorable date you've had?
She said: The night that we went to New York City and went on a carriage ride and got to go ice skating in the park. We laughed for hours and got a chance to snuggle under the blanket together while riding around downtown New York City.
He said: To me it was our 1 year anniversary. I took her to NYC to do all the cute things you see in the movies. We went ice skating, went on a carriage ride in Central Park and had a nice dinner — the whole shebang.
What quality do you most admire about the other person?
She said: The quality that I admire most about David is his personality. No matter what, he always knows what kind of day that I am having. Good or bad, he can make me smile — his goofy personality always makes that happen!
He said: I admire most her ability to adapt to any social situation. Whether it's a reunion with my old high school friends, or dinner with my second cousin twice removed, she can get along, and have a conversation with anyone. It really makes me want to bring her everywhere with me.
What was the best engagement present you received?
She said: I don't think that we got any engagement presents other than a wonderful centerpiece from my family that had peacock feathers in there just like the theme of our wedding.
He said: Well we didn't get many engagement presents. But we did get a few relatives who slipped checks in with the congratulatory cards, and with that money I bought a grill. So I vote the grill.
What was the weirdest/worst engagement present?
She said: None.
He said: Her mom had flowers waiting for us when we got back from the weekend we got engaged. Because Becka loved the colors of peacock feathers, and we knew we wanted them involved in our wedding, these feathers were a dominant part of the arrangement. It was a really sweet thought, but it looked like someone shot a bird and stuffed it into a vase. It was just odd.
How would you describe the style of your wedding?
She said: David and I are very much kids at heart. We enjoy laughing and having a good time, so we want a classy wedding but one that will also display our personality. For example, our wedding is a peacock theme but our save the dates are going to be like a film reel. We are going to put on different costumes and make funny faces!
He said: Loud. We're both very outgoing people, and with the colors in the wedding (Royal Purple and Lime Green) the best way I can describe what will transpire, both visual and aurally, is just loud.
What's been the most fun detail of your wedding to plan?
She said: Well, I know what David would say (the cake testing), but I enjoyed looking at the different venues and being able to picture our magical day together.
He said: Picking out the catering has been my favorite part so far. Stations, buffet or plated dinners, what type of food, all the options involved… the candy bar!!!
What's been the most difficult detail of your wedding to agree upon?
She said: When to have the wedding. I wanted to have the wedding right away, and he wanted to wait until I was completely done with school so that we can go straight to our honeymoon without having to wait. I eventually gave in because in the end, as long as I am with him, it doesn't matter when or where we get married!
He said: The date. We have been bickering about when to have the wedding since we started dating it seems like. She would have it tomorrow in Vegas if she could and I want plenty of time to plan an elaborate event.
What do you look most forward to: the wedding day, the wedding night, the honeymoon?
She said: The honeymoon — because that will be the first time that we get a chance to be together as husband and wife without any distractions!
He said: I think the wedding day, mostly for the reception. The ceremony I will just be nervous, the honeymoon I will probably not remember, but the reception I just want to enjoy introducing my new wife to all my friends and family and enjoy the time spent with all of them.
What will be the most unique detail at your wedding ceremony/reception?
She said: We are getting married at Keeneland Horse Park, so that is definitely something different. But the main thing that I believe is different are the centerpieces that my mom created all by herself. She wanted to be able to contribute to the wedding and she is definitely a woman of style! My mother did a wonderful job displaying our fun personalities.
He said: I think it would have to be the colors. It's not often you see Lime Green and Royal Purple paired. It should be an interesting combination, but it fits us. Lime green is her favorite color, and royal purple is mine. Some people have poked fun at them for being Barney colors, but I prefer to think of the Joker from Batman.
What moment of your wedding day are you most anticipating?
She said: That first kiss as husband and wife. I can't wait for the fireworks to go off and to kick off the next chapter of our lives together.
He said: I know it makes me sound like a fat kid, but the food. We're going to have a candy bar, and a variety of ethic food stations, and what I can only imagine will be an epic cake. I know most people say you won't have time to eat. I will make time!
How will you feel when the wedding planning is all over?
She said: I'm not sure. I am assuming based off of other stories and advice from friends that I am going to definitely be relieved that it is over, but up to this point I am enjoying every minute of it!
He said: Poor. I'm sure everyone knows all the costs involved. So after the DJ, the reception, reserving the church, the limo, the rehearsal dinner, the flowers, the honeymoon… I'm predicting the overwhelming feeling I will have will be the pain in my wallet.
What are your honeymoon plans?
She said: We would like to go to Jamaica for our honeymoon (or at least I want to!). We just want an all-paid resort honeymoon where we do not need to worry about the expenses, but can just focus on our time together.
He said: I'm still searching but I'm hoping to find an overwater bungalow in the Caribbean. I want something secluded and not terribly far away, and all inclusive. Still searching but that is my dream honeymoon location.

Jack Kirby's distinctive writing style is a little subtler than it will be twenty years in the future, but there's no mistaking him on most of these stories. There are few quoted words, but there are some. He emphasizes words that other writers probably would not, but at this point in his career most notably he emphasize entire sentences—generally final ones in long captions.
In the tiers comparing "Send Us Your Dreams [Julie Pendleton]" (SWOYD 1) and "X-Pit" (Mister Miracle 2, May-June/71, DC), note the triples: It was strange! Unexpected! Humiliating!; Explosion! Shock! Flame! Those were what made me take these as examples, but then I noticed these commas after conjunctions: "And, I thought I liked her!"; Then, the panic of aftermath!
On the art side, it would take a better eye than mine to point out specifics of Joe Simon's work, if any, here. I'm not very sure of the inks on Kirby's pencils or on Mort Meskin's, but I wonder if George Roussos inks a number of stories.
"The Dreaming Tower" in #1 takes H.P. Lovecraft's "The Outsider" (uncredited) and makes a rather different story out of it; Lovecraft's shock ending becomes a throwaway plot point on the comic book story's second-to-last page.

Pope names future Newark archbishop
VATICAN CITY (AP) — The pope has named a new bishop to help out and eventually take over for the archbishop of Newark, New Jersey, who is under fire for his handling of a sexually abusive priest.
Bishop Bernard Hebda, currently of Gaylord, Michigan, was named coadjutor bishop Tuesday for Archbishop John Myers, who is to retire in mid-2016.
Coadjutor bishops are often named for large archdioceses. They take over automatically when the incumbent retires or dies. Naming Hebda with three years to go before Myers turns 75 could be a sign that Pope Francis believed Newark needed fresh leadership now.
Myers has been criticized for his handling of a priest barred from unsupervised contact with minors after grabbing a boy's crotch. The archdiocese said it was unaware he subsequently worked with youths.

My, it's dusty in here (grin).
No, I'm not "back". I just dropped by to do a bit of housecleaning and noticed I've had a bunch of people still dropping by. Hi, be welcome, but be aware I've not freshened anything since I quit playing WoW. That was (as of this post, which is likely to last a while) well over a year ago – around October of 2008.
The point is that while everything I wrote was to the best of my knowledge at the time, it's probably just a wee bit different now, what with one or two major expansions and a LOT of lesser patches being done. If what I've written is still of use, you're welcome. I ask only that you be cautious with something that old.
Oh, yes, and don't expect me to drop by to converse very often. Life isn't stagnant, and while I enjoyed WoW and I may someday do so again, now is different.

I spent Saturday morning hanging out with my coworkers, the NewsVroom and a man dressed as Santa Claus at the Boy Scout Troop 94 pancake breakfast in the Shiloh Fire Hall.
Trust me, anyone who was anyone and was on social media between 7 a.m. and noon that day knew without a shadow of a doubt that A PANCAKE BREAKFAST WAS GOING ON.
Why? Because we covered the crap out of it using ScribbleLive.

Moving articles (e.g., Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia and New Zealand)
In the future, if you'd like to change the name of an article, please use the move tab at the top of the article rather than creating a new article and then changing the old one to a link to the new. This preserves the article's editing history intact.
In the case of this article, I was able to piece the history back together with deletion and moving, but those options aren't fully available to non-sysops. The easiest method (which is also available to everyone) is just to use the move button. Thanks! —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 20:28, December 28, 2005 (CST)
Population estimate
Greetings! Thank you for your contributions. I was wondering whether you had a link or a source for the population estimate for the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia and New Zealand. The original link cites 7,525; you changed the number to an estimated 37,525, but the link remains, now contradicting rather than supporting. I'm guessing that source is from 2001, but I may be wrong. The only other source I could find online is from 1996: 3,969. —magda (talk) 07:46, December 29, 2005 (CST)
Would you mind engaging in the discussion on Talk:Gibran (Rimlawi) of Australia and New Zealand before continuing to change the spelling everywhere? —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 13:28, January 3, 2006 (CST)
Regarding the parishes - there are a couple of parishes on OrthodoxWiki that haven't made it onto the Antiochian.org.au website: St Nicholas, Mayfield (NSW), Invercargill Mission (NZ), Hamilton Mission (NZ); and also, one that hasn't made it to OrthodoxWiki - St Cuthbert, Rowville (Vic). I didn't add the last one because I thought that you probably knew what was going on and had reasons, but just in case I thought you should know. cheers, -- — by Pιsτévο talk complaints at 16:07, February 7, 2006 (CST)

With recent edits, should he be listed as Bishop or Archbishop? I know that you're "closer to the action" (if you'll excuse the term), but there really should be one marker. Also, his nomination for elevation (in northern autumn?) and whether he was actually elevated is ambiguous. Thanks, — by Pιsτévο talk complaints at 03:58, February 27, 2006 (CST)

MSU Bonner AmeriCorps Students Engage in Service Trip to New Orleans
On June 5, 2011, nine Montclair State University Bonner Leaders, as part of the Bonner
AmeriCorps Program, will embark on a trip to New Orleans to aid in the ongoing rebuilding efforts for areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2004. Bonner Leaders are students who have made a commitment to perform community service for their college campus community for a minimum of 300 hours a year, and provide critical assistance to the community through projects that address education, health, human needs, environment and disaster relief.
The Bonner Leaders, along with their supervisor, Krystal Woolston, Interim Coordinator for Service Learning and Community Engagement, will depart from Newark, New Jersey by train and travel south to begin their rebuilding efforts. Once there, the Bonners will work with Habitat for Humanity (HFH) to rebuild homes destroyed by the hurricane. In addition to their work with HFH, they will partner with North Rampart Community Center to rebuild a portion of a home that damaged by the storm. In the Fall 2011 semester, the Bonners will develop and conduct presentations for the Montclair State campus community that reflect on their experience and what they have learned.
The trip to New Orleans is mostly funded through donations, although some grant funds were made available by the Environment, Education & Community Outreach (EECO) Initiative, which is an Americorps project. Two participants of the traveling group are EECO members.
The group traveling to New Orleans includes MSU Bonner Leader, Suzy
DeMatteo, who was awarded AmeriCorps Member of Excellence this spring by the
Bonner Foundation.
Freshman, sophomore and junior students who are interested in becoming members of the Bonner Leader program are encouraged to apply in the spring semesters. They must go through an interview process and meet certain eligibility criteria to be selected. Thirty students have made the cut and been selected for next year's (2011/2012) Bonner Leader Program. Although faculty are not officially associated with the program, many Montclair State faculty fully support and help promote the program, and participate indirectly as mentors and leaders. Dr. Valerie Sessa, Professor of Psychology, is currently attending the Bonner Summer Leadership Institute
To learn more about the Montclair State Bonner Leaders, the Bonner Americorp Program, or any service-learning/community engagement program available here at Montclair State University, contact Krystal Woolston, Interim Service Learning Coordinator, at 973-655-4382 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or Bryan Murdock, Director of Service Learning and Community Engagement at 973-655-6831 or email@example.com.
