Contemporary Pagan, Wiccan, and Native Faith Movements
Chas S. Clifton
Paganism is based largely in an Enlightenment-era rejection of Christianity and Romantic-era ideas of the individual experience, emotion, and creativity, combined with a search for true ethnic culture in the lore and practices of the pre-Christian past and a rejection of universal transcendental religion, in favor of the local, the particular, the polytheistic, and the animist. Particularly in the United States, Pagans have challenged governmental accommodations for existing religions by demanding equal status in public spaces. Contemporary Pagan groups began forming in the 1930s, but the largest, Wicca, emerged in the United Kingdom in the early 1950s.
Modern Yoga
Andrea Jain
Modern yoga refers to a variety of systems that developed as early as the 19th century as a consequence of capitalist production, colonial and industrial endeavors, global developments in areas ranging from metaphysics to fitness, and modern ideas and values. Modern yoga systems transformed from largely controversial, elite, or countercultural ones to pop culture varieties when entrepreneurial gurus became strategic participants in a global market and succeeded in marketing yoga by establishing continuity between their yoga brands and dominant values and demands. Today, modern yoga is most frequently prescribed as a part of self-development believed to provide increased beauty, strength, and flexibility as well as decreased stress and that can be combined with other worldviews and practices available in the global market.
The Revival of Yoga in Contemporary India
Suzanne Newcombe
The word yoga refers to a multifaceted array of beliefs and practices. Yoga is twinned with sāṃkhya as one of the six orthodox darshanas (worldviews) of Hindu philosophy, with Patañjali's Yogaśāstra having been codified by around the 5th century of the Common Era. A distinct body of texts known as the haṭhayoga corpus appears around the 11th century and emphasizes physical practices most likely used by ascetic communities. The ultimate aim of yoga is described by various words (e.g., kaivalya, samādhi, mokṣa, etc.); it is often described as an experience of an individual soul's uniting with the divine, and/or becoming liberated from the material world. These historical precedents have continuities with contemporary yoga practices, and for many Indians today, yoga is understood as the essence of Indian spirituality.
Yoga, however, took on new meanings in the late colonial period, becoming a mental, physical, and ethical discipline to aid in the struggle for an independent Indian nation state; a scientific, evidence-based practice to improve health and well-being; and a template for the evolution of an individual as well as humanity as a whole. At the same time, yoga kept an association with liberation and the realization of the ultimate nature of reality.
In the early 21st century, all these meanings remain current in the Indian context, where yoga is continuing to experience a revival. In India, yoga is understood as a unique and valuable cultural resource that has the potential to revitalize both an individual's health and the Indian nation-state, being an exemplar of the unique insights that Indian traditions can give to the rest of the world. Despite a notable shift in what is understood by yoga in the modern period, yoga continues to be a multivalent and increasingly popular practice in contemporary India.

Getting People To Pay For Investigative Reporting Directly
from the well,-there's-one-idea dept
While there are some concerns that this would lead to biased journalism, there's nothing saying that the journalist's results have to support the initial worry. In fact, I would imagine that in cases where folks are worried about things like chemicals in the drinking water, they'd be much more relieved to find out that it's really nothing. Either way, this model fits exactly with the business models we've discussed in the past: getting people to pay for the creation of content. The creation of new content is a scarce good, and there may be some group of people for whom its worth paying for. In this case, the example fits the business model we describe for content after it's created as well, since the organization doing these investigative reports will then offer them to newspapers for free (so long as they don't want an exclusive right -- which would not be free). That's exactly how it should be: it costs money for the initial creation, but then the content is freed, where it adds much more value (and attracts more people to fund later stories). Who knows if this particular effort will work (execution is everything, after all), but the model is sound, and shows that despite gloomy whining from old school reporters, the new business models will show up.

Tennessee -- near Nashville, September 1972
I placed a jar in Tennessee,
And round it was, upon a hill.
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill.
The wilderness rose up to it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.
It took dominion every where.
The jar was gray and bare.
It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Tennessee.
Wallace Stevens: Anecdote of the Jar, written in Elizabethton, Tennessee, 1918, from Harmonium (1921)

Leaders' vow over Iraq 'genocide'
David Cameron and Barack Obama have pledged to work together to avoid "genocide" in Iraq amid a growing threat from Islamic State (IS) extremists.
The Prime Minister and US President discussed the air drops of drinking water and other essential supplies being carried out by both countries around the Sinjar mountains, where thousands of people from the Yazidi minority religious group have been trapped.
But in a telephone call this evening, the leaders admitted that a "long term solution" would be needed to quell the IS advance.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has chaired a meeting of the Cobra committee to assess the crisis in northern Iraq
A Downing Street spokesman said: " The Prime Minister welcomed the US efforts and made clear that we are keen to work with the Americans on the humanitarian effort.
"They agreed that the immediate priority is to get vital supplies to those trapped on Mt Sinjar and the UK will join the US in delivering aid drops.
"Both leaders also agreed that aid drops are not a long term solution, and that a way must be found to get these people to safety and to avert a genocide.
"They agreed that UK and US officials should work together, along with international partners, to find a way forward. They also agreed on the need for the Iraqis to establish an inclusive government as swiftly as possible to unite all Iraqi communities against (IS) terrorists."
The US has begun airstrikes against IS targets engaging Kurdish forces near the key city of Irbil, but Britain has ruled out military action at this stage.
Instead the Government has announced an £8 million emergency package of humanitarian aid, including reusable filtration containers, tents, and solar lights which can also recharge mobile phones.
Some £3 million will go to charities and NGOs already on the ground and helping displaced people in northern Iraq, and £2.5 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
A further £500,000 will be used to ensure Kurdish and UN systems can co-ordinate properly.
Two C130s are now en route to the troubled country from RAF Brize Norton.
Speaking after chairing a meeting of the Government's Cobra committee today, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said: "We can expect a continuing drumbeat of airdrop operations working in co-ordination with the US and potentially with others as well.
"But more widely we are looking at how to support this group of people and get them off that mountain, how we are going to facilitate their exit from what is a completely unacceptable situation."

Liverpool is through to the knockout stage of the Europa League after exacting winning 1-0 at already eliminated Udinese on Thursday.
Jordan Henderson scored midway through the first half to help avenge the 3-2 loss to the Italian side at Anfield in October.
When Young Boys of Switzerland beat already-qualified Anzhi Makhachkala of RussIa 3-1, Liverpool won Group A. All three teams finished with 10 points, but Liverpool had the best head-to-head record, followed by Anzhi.
Stuttgart also advanced despite an embarrassing 1-0 defeat at home to Molde. It was runner-up to Group E winner Steaua Bucharest after the Romanian side drew 1-1 at Copenhagen. Stuttgart edged Copenhagen on head-to-head.
Udinese had a couple of decent chances before Liverpool took the lead in the 23rd minute with its first real opportunity. Luis Suarez headed on a corner and Suso passed it back for Henderson to rifle in through a crowd.
Former Liverpool goalkeeper Daniele Padelli pulled off several fantastic saves — denying Henderson and Suarez — to keep qualification still in question for Liverpool, which knew it had to at least match Young Boys' result.
Udinese's Giovanni Pasquale was sent off late on for a second bookable offence.
It almost went badly wrong for Liverpool in stoppage time as Antonio Di Natale sent a shot skimming over the crossbar with the last kick of the game.
In Switzerland, Gonzalo Zarate gave Young Boys the lead in the 38th when his initial shot ricocheted around the area and back to him to slot home from a tight angle.
Anzhi Makhachkala leveled in first-half stoppage time with a controversial equalizer. Young Boys called loudly for offside but Odil Ahmedov appeared to be level as he received the ball, turned and fired in.
Moreno Costanzo doubled Young Boys' lead eight minutes after the break after Anzhi failed to deal with a cross.
Anzhi striker Lacina Traore was sent off 20 minutes from time for a second bookable offence before Alexander Gonzalez added a third for the home side in stoppage time.
In the tight Group E, Steaua only needed a point to advance and was reduced to 10 men at the start of the second half when Cristian Tanase was sent off for a second yellow card.
Raul Rusescu gave it the lead with a stunning shot from outside the area which took a slight deflection as it curled into the right side of the goal.
Copenhagen leveled three minutes from time through Igor Vetokele, but it was too little too late.
At Stuttgart, Davy Claude Angan ran from inside his own half to score the only goal in first-half stoppage time for Norway's Molde.
Only two other berths were open to make the last 32. In the late games, Tottenham and Panathinaikos played for a spot in Group J, and FC Basel and Videoton fought for the last spot in Group G.
Elsewhere, competition top-scorer Edinson Cavani scored his seventh in Napoli's 3-2 loss at home to PSV Eindhoven. Tim Matavz netted a hat trick to inflict Napoli's first home defeat in European competition in 18 years.
Also, defending champion Atletico Madrid lost 1-0 at Plzen.
In other results, it was; Dnipro 4, AIK Solna 1; Hapoel Tel-Aviv 2, Academica 0; Limassol 3, Marseille 0; Fenerbahce 0, Borussia Moenchengladbach 3; Bordeaux 2, Newcastle 0; and Maritimo 2, Club Bruges 1.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The Springfield College field hockey team netted a goal in the first four minutes of play and never looked back en route to a 3-1 victory over MIT in NEWMAC play on Saturday morning.
With the win, the 17th-ranked Pride improve to 6-3, 2-0 in league play while the Engineers drop to 5-7, 0-2.
The Pride jumped on the board first as Becca Gamble took a feed from Alexa Carlson during a scramble in front of the cage and poked the ball past MIT goalie Keri Dixon just 3:40 into the contest.
Morgan Rein gave the Pride a 2-0 advantage off a penalty corner with 9:53 left in the first half. Rein ripped a shot from seven yards out into the back of the cage after she received a pass from teammate Meg Bradley. Springfield ended the half with a 2-0 lead after controlling much of the play in the opening stanza.
MIT cut the Pride's lead to one with just over 10 minutes remaining in regulation as Ekavali Mishra finished a pass from Anna Teruya on a penalty corner.
However, Springfield, which applied constant pressure throughout the contest, put the game away two minutes later as Jane Kelleher netted her team-leading seventh goal of the year.
Carlson finished the game with two assists for Springfield, while Alison McCarthy recorded the win in goal, making just one save on four shots faced.
The Pride outshot the MIT, 29-4, in the game as Dixon made five stops in the cage for the visitors.
The Engineers will look to pick up their first conference win Tuesday, October 7 when they travel to Babson.

Gary Saul Named TPWD Inland Fisheries Director
AUSTIN — Gary E. Saul, PhD, has been named director of the Inland Fisheries Division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Saul assumes his new position May 10.
"Gary has done a great job as deputy division director and more recently as acting director. He has demonstrated that he has the knowledge, experience, skills and vision to lead Inland Fisheries into the next decade," said Ross Melinchuk, TPWD Deputy Executive Director for Natural Resources. "Gary has earned great respect over the years from his professional colleagues within and outside the agency, from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission and from Texas anglers for the work he's done to assure that Texas will always be a great place to go fishing."
Saul has been acting division director since Jan. 1 following the retirement of long-time director Phil Durocher. Prior to that, he had served as deputy division director since 2004.
The Inland Fisheries Division, with 225 employees, manages and protects Texas' freshwater fishery — a resource that includes a diverse range of freshwater species found in some 800 public lakes covering 1.7 million acres and 191,000 miles of rivers and streams. Nearly 2 million licensed Texas anglers enjoy this resource, in the process contributing $1.5 billion a year to the state's economy on everything from food to fishing tackle.
Saul began his career at TPWD in 1982 as finfish program director in the Coastal Fisheries Division. He held that position until 1986, when he left to teach biology at Texas State University and also worked with a private environmental consulting firm. He returned to TPWD 11 years later, this time in the Inland Fisheries Division, where he steadily advanced.
"Texas freshwater fisheries and this division both enjoy a great national reputation, and I am honored to have the opportunity to work at this level with the talented and dedicated staff in Inland Fisheries," Saul said. "We face many challenges, including assuring the quality and quantity of water as well as maintaining or improving our declining aquatic habitats. We need to enlist anglers and boaters to help us stop the spread of invasive species, including zebra mussels and giant salvinia that can clog waterways, municipal water infrastructure and destroy fishing and boating recreation. We've got plenty of work to do and I am eager to get after it."
A New Jersey native, Saul has a bachelor of science in zoology from North Carolina State University, two master's degrees from Louisiana State University (fisheries, applied statistics), and a doctorate in fisheries and wildlife sciences from Virginia Polytechnic and State University. He and his wife Mary, who is principal of Austin's Alternative Center for Elementary Students, have two children, Katie and Devon.

U.S. Soldiers In Afghanistan Under Fire For Gay Craigslist Hookups
Aw c'mon, let's let our boys (and girls) overseas have their fun!
U.S. soldiers stationed in Afghanistan are using that tried and true staple of gay hook up culture, Craigslist, to score some action while deployed. We say more power to them, but unfortunately sex among non-married soldiers in a combat zone is a no-no.
U.S. soldiers deployed to Afghanistan are using Craigslist to meet and have sex with each other on bases across the war-torn country, leading to concerns about a breakdown in discipline overseas.
Military commanders have forbade any service members who are not married to each other from having sex while deployed to the combat zone. As a result, each of the covert meetings is a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The vast majority of the posts on Craigslist involve male soldiers seeking sex with other men - a practice that could have resulted in the discharge of both parities from the military under Don't Ask Don't Tell, which barred gays in the armed forces.
Apparently military commanders aren't just looking the other way. The Daily Mail explains that "A U.S. Marine lance corporal who was caught and arrested after making an illicit meeting with a male undercover Naval Criminal Investigation Service officer, told the Marine Corps Times that he was busted down to private first class, gave up $1,600 in pay and got 45 days of extra duties and 45 days of restrictions.
The soldiers and civilians in Afghanistan use the Iraq Craigslist page (Ed. note--probably NSFW)- a holdover from a time when hundreds of thousands of Americans were stationed throughout Iraq."
So they're basically setting up sting operations for these guys??
They're deployed for many months at a time. As long as they're not hurting anyone and they're doing their jobs correctly (showing up on time, working effectively, etc.), what's the harm in these soldiers having a little fun with each other??
I got busted for this a few of months after DADT was ended. I did a lot of research. Sex is not prohibited unless you are married. I was a contractor and did not think it applied to me, but apparently it mattered to someone. First time I was ever arrested and it really shook me up. I felt like my whole world was flipped upside down. I felt betrayed. I don't think this makes sense and I agree that CID should be investigating the many sexual assaults and the prostitution that occurs on bases, not consensual adults having sex off duty.
Actually, it is perfectly normal for civilian co-workers to hook-up and/or date. And if they were caught having sex on the job, they would usually be mentored and given a warning. In some cases they may be fired, but not if they were fraternizing outside of work hours. Asking soldiers to be celebate for 6 months at a time 24/7 is a bit silly. I wouldn't last a week. Now, clearly you have to make sure that you are hooking up outside your chain of command.
It is not that easy. Service members are deployed 6 months to two years at a time to a hostile environment. All that vigorous training and conditioning they do has got to make them horny as hell too. Not to mention they are risking their lives and can die there so maybe they want to be spontaneous and live a little. I think it is absolutely healthy for them to have an occasional trist. If anything will help them focus more once they get it out of their system every once in a while.
Pdr : as long as you are off duty, none of that should be an issue. And as long as you are not in a sexual relationship with someone from your unit, it should also be a non-issue. (You can't equate having sex with one person out of thousands of people stationed in the same area as you... to someone's coworkers in a small office environment. Apples & oranges.)
If you're deployed into a combat zone, you're on the job. Sure it may not be an office, but it's your workplace and that's what you signed up for. Any civilian employee caught having sex with another employee (in the office, in the field, at a work event, or in a hotel away for work...basically anywhere work related) would be immediately terminated from that job. Why? Well, for many legal and sexual harrassment reasons...but also bc its potentially a serious distraction from you doing your job. And in a combat zone, I don't think those boys need any other distractions than the dangers around them. They're lucky they don't get kicked out. Keep the tools in the pants, focus on the job at hand, come home... and THEN bend over whenever whomever.

In front of delighted home fans, Penn Charter pulled off a basketball upset against the Germantown Academy girls last Tuesday, but three days later, the GA Patriots were still able to emerge as the sole champion of the Girls Inter-Ac League.
Jumping on GA early to build a 15-point halftime lead on Tuesday, the Quakers kept the visitors at arm's length the rest of the way, winning 52-36. It was the first time Charter had defeated GA since the 1997-98 season, when the Quakers topped the Pats 51-39 en route to becoming the undefeated Inter-Ac champion. On Friday PC completed the regular season with a 42-28 triumph at Baldwin School, finishing 7-5 in league play to tie for fourth place with Springside Chestnut Hill Academy.
Coming off Tuesday's loss, defending champ GA owned a 9-2 mark and was still one game ahead of Episcopal Academy, which lost to Springside Chestnut Hill the same afternoon and slipped to 8-3. EA could've still salvaged a tie for the title (which is determined by win/loss records in the double round of league games) when it hosted Germantown on Friday, but the Patriots prevailed, 58-43. GA won the championship outright, as it's done every year since 2000 (it was part of a three-way tie in 1999).
Episcopal found itself with an 8-4 final record that tied the Churchwomen for second place in the league with the Academy of Notre Dame. The Irish began the week with a 6-4 mark, and dispatched Baldwin and Agnes Irwin.
Charter's win on Tuesday represented a huge turnaround from the first meeting with GA, which the Patriots dominated, 54-30.
"A lot of it is that we're more experienced and we've come together as a team," said first-year Quakers coach David Bass. We've gotten to know each others' abilities."
Dianna Thomas-Palmer, a power post player, and fellow senior MaryKate O'Brien, a point guard, combined for 20 points in the first half as the Quakers turned a 12-6 lead at the quarter into a 24-10 advantage at the intermission. The GA scorers who had done the most damage in the first game, senior Jaryn Garner and juniors Kiernan McCloskey and Natalie Toner, produced four points between them before halftime last week.
"We had a slow start against them the first time, and we came out a lot better today," Bass said. "We had our senior day ceremony before the game and the girls were excited about that and were ready to play."
Thomas-Palmer signed with Hofstra University in November and O'Brien is bound for Williams College, while PC's third senior starter, Danielle Sienko, will focus on softball at Kutztown University.
In addition to simply raising the general intensity level for the rematch with GA, Bass said, "We wanted to speed up our offense, and have a lot of ball and body movement. We also know that GA likes to crash the boards, so we wanted to make sure to get bodies on them for the rebounds."
As Germantown tried to gain traction in the third quarter for a comeback, PC eighth-grade guard Ayanna Matthews came on to score six of her 10 points for the night. Charter led 36-19 six minutes into the period, but two late three's by GA's Garner and Toner helped reduce the spread to 13 points for the beginning of the fourth round. Still, at 38-25, the visitors had only trimmed one point off of the Quakers' halftime lead.
Neither club scored for more than two-and-a-half minutes as the fourth frame unfolded, then lay-ups by McCloskey and Garner narrowed the gap to nine points. The Quakers had already gotten into the foul bonus, though, and their next three points came from the free throw line courtesy of O'Brien, lifting the lead back into double figures for good.
A little later, PC called a time-out at 41-31 with four minutes left, and Charter outpointed the Patriots 11-5 the rest of the way, hitting seven of 10 free throws.
Thomas-Palmer turned in 18 points, 11 rebounds, and three steals, while O'Brien furnished 15 points and nine boards. Sienko said farewell with four points, and the winners got two apiece from junior Katie O'Malley and eighth-grader Hannah Fox, and one from sophomore Kristina Kubach.
GA got a 15-point night from UVA signee Garner, with nine added by McCloskey and six points tendered by Toner on a pair of three-pointers.
It was a three-point shot by another junior, Fran Sweeney, that lifted GA to its first victory over Episcopal (50-49) back on January 7. For last Friday's rematch the Patriots had a defensive tandem to go up against EA junior center Megan Quinn, who has given a verbal commitment to Villanova University.
Mel Repella started off with the task for GA, and when she had some personal foul difficulties fellow junior Angela Upright came off the bench to protect the paint. Upright, who matches Quinn's 6'2" height, has been easing back into action since late January, when she was cleared to play following knee surgery. She missed the first contest with EA, while an Episcopal guard who played in that game, senior Sarah McKay, tore her ACL a few weeks later and was done for the season.
Both teams were coming off of disturbing losses, and for GA it had been the fourth consecutive setback.
"When you go through a couple losses in a row, you can point fingers and blame someone, but they never did that," said Patriots coach Sherri Retif. "In practice, we focused on thinking on the court. We play with such a high intensity level that sometimes it distracts us from playing smart. Today, every time they trapped we were making good decisions with the ball, finding the open person or driving when we needed to drive."
Early in the game, GA inched ahead, 4-3, on nothing but free throws, which came from Garner and McCloskey. Later McCloskey canned a three-pointer, and at the end of the period she stuck a jumper from the foul line to send the Pats into the second quarter with an 11-9 edge. Repella picked up two early fouls, but so did EA's veteran guard, Kristen Hinckley.
McCloskey kept rolling in the second period, scoring first on a fast break. She hooped another three-pointer, added a pair of free throws, and hit a short pull-up jumper after that to reach 16 points on her own as GA went up by seven.
"I definitely felt like I was in the zone, confident in my shot," she said later. "I hadn't made a lot of shots the last few games, but once I hit a couple three's I felt comfortable today."
Before the intermission GA junior Dempsey Cooper exchanged driving lay-ups with Jennifer Adelizzi of the Churchwomen, setting the halftime tally at 22-15.
When the action resumed, treys by Quinn and the newly-returned Hinckley helped the hosts cut the margin to three points, 24-21, but now it was Garner's turn to lead the Germantown attack. On back-to-back drives, she went in for a lay-up and pulled up for a little jump shot. Next, she converted off of a short inbounds pass from the baseline, and she also had the last word in the third round, penetrating to score with 12 seconds left.
After fighting off EA's early spurt, the Pats had added another two points to their lead, taking a 32-23 advantage into the final round. Two Adelizzi free throws got the Churchwomen back within seven, then yet another scorer stepped up for Germantown. Sweeney struck from the left baseline for a 14-footer and a three-point bucket, then swung over to the right side for another jumper.
Garner had thrown a transition basket into the mix, and when Sweeney's surge was followed by more transition field goals by McCloskey and Garner, the visitors found them selves ahead 45-28 with less than two-and-a-half minutes to go. Repella had acquired a fourth foul early in the final frame, but spelling her with Upright allowed her to go the distance in the game. Upright was not afraid to get physical with EA's Quinn when required (as the EA sideline pointed out to the refs), and Retif was happy to see the junior playing with confidence following her knee rehab.
With 1:55 remaining in the game GA got into the one-and-one bonus, and the Patriots made 13 of 16 free throws down the stretch.
McCloskey came away with 23 points and 15 rebounds, and floor marshal Garner scored 18 points and pulled 11 boards. Sweeney scored all of her nine points in the fourth quarter, and the Patriots got four points from Cooper and two from Repella. Leading the losing cause were Quinn, with 18 points and a dozen rebounds, Adelizzi, with nine points, and Hinckley, who scored all of her 12 points in the second half.
Back in the Penn Charter game, McCloskey related, "We suffered breakdowns on offense and defense because we weren't trusting each other and we weren't 100 percent in unison. In practice we emphasized talking as much as we could, and we worked on running the floor because we're not a really big team but we're quick. Today we really played together."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A five-goal first-half deficit was just too much for Harvard to climb back from Friday afternoon, as the Crimson was nipped, 7-6, by its cross-town rival MIT in the first round of the Eastern College Athletic Conference championship at Blodgett Pool.
After falling behind 5-0 at halftime, the Crimson outscored MIT, 6-2, in the second half, including tying it up at 6-6 in the fourth period. MIT would get one back to take a 7-6 lead. Senior Bret Voith had the ball for Harvard in the waning seconds of the game and took a shot as the buzzer rang, but the ball sailed high.
A defensive first period by both teams ended with the Engineers leading 1-0, but they opened up the game in the second period to take that 5-0 lead. Junior goalie Alexandre Popp made 14 saves and senior Alex Thompson had two of the Crimson's five steals to lead Harvard's defensive effort in the second half.
Despite a continuous strong effort by the Crimson on the defensive end, it just could not convert one more comeback goal in the fourth period. Senior Jeff Lee put three balls away to lead Harvard in scoring.
The Engineers take on No. 2 Princeton on Saturday at 10:20 a.m. in round two. The Crimson will be back in the pool starting at 3:40 p.m. Saturday at Blodgett for the second round of the ECAC championship. It will face No. 11 Mercyhurst, who fell, 5-4, in double overtime Friday to No. 6 Fordham.

San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis filed four misdemeanor battery charges against Bush. If convicted, Bush could face up to four years in jail and a $2,000 fine. Bush is scheduled to be arraigned on April 28 at 8 a.m. in Superior Court in El Cajon.
Bush was allegedly intoxicated when he assaulted the high school lacrosse players who sustained minor injuries, according to Lt. Steve Shakowski, spokesperson for the El Cajon Police Department.
After the incident, the Padres shipped Bush off to the Toronto Blue Jays to be traded for another player or cashed out, which has yet to be determined.
The Feb. 4 mayhem is the third altercation that Bush has been involved in since being taken No. 1 in the 2004 MLB draft. Two weeks after the draft, Bush was accused of felony assault and misdemeanor trespassing that stemmed from a nightclub altercation near the Padres spring training facility in Peoria, Ariz. Last summer, Bush was involved in another fight near Peoria.

Fashion icons Dolce, Gabbana convicted in Italy of tax crime
This time it was not the case like the invoice for car repair," prosecutor Laura Pedio said of the crime for which the fashion duo was convicted. "This time it's serious, complicated, sophisticated tax fraud crime."
Both men were sentenced to one year and eight months in prison and, in addition to what they owe in taxes, told to pay a fine of 500,000 euros. Their lawyer, Massimo Dinoia, vowed that the defense plans to appeal the convictions as well as the related fines and sentences.
"Dolce and Gabbana will not go to jail now or ever," Dinoia said.
Four others associated with the upscale Dolce & Gabbana brand -- including Domenico's brother Alfonso Dolce and company tax consultant Luciano Patelli -- also face prison time, though Dinoia and Pedio did not know the length of all their sentences. While the decision was announced Wednesday morning in a Milan court, authorities did not immediately release details to the media or public.
According to Pedio, investigators found that between 2004 and 2007 Dolce and Gabbana failed to tell Italian authorities about an offshoot company they'd set up in Luxembourg, costing Italy millions of euros in taxes.
"I'm very satisfied with the sentence," the prosecutor said. "It was a very elaborate (use of an offshore company) that appeared legal, but was illegal."
The fashion magnates' defense team said this wasn't a sweeping verdict. In a statement, the lawyers said the court found Dolce and Gabbana innocent "of the accusation of having unfaithfully declared their earnings," even as the two men were convicted on a "taxes declaration omission."
It's not clear how the court ruling will impact the storied Dolce & Gabbana company, if at all.
The two stylists debuted their brand in an October 1985 show in Milan. Since then, they have exploded to become one of the world's most recognizable and desired fashion companies, with an array of products and stores from Azerbaijan to Qatar to Singapore to the United States and many places in between.

WELLESLEY, Mass. - Behind victories in the 400-yard individual medley, 200-yard freestyle and 800-yard freestyle relay, MIT leapfrogged Springfield College into first-place after day two of competition in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championships. The Engineers, with 501.5 points, lead by the narrowest of margins over the Pride, which has amassed 499 points thus far. Both schools are well ahead of third-place host Wellesley College, which has 432 points.
Tech's biggest individual highlight came in the 200-yard freestyle, which junior Sasha Brophy won with an NCAA "B" cut time of 1:55.61. After falling behind by over a second in the first 100 yards, Brophy roared back into the race by making up more than a second in each of the final two legs to ultimately win the race by a wide margin.
Sophomore Nicole O'Keeffe picked up the Cardinal and Gray's other individual victory in the 400-yard individual medley, touching the wall ahead of the competition at 4:40.68. Teammate Katherine Thornton made it an even more important event for the Engineers by nabbing third-place with a time of 4:45.70.
The 800-yard freestyle relay team of Thornton, O'Keeffe, Brophy and Abby Clark picked up MIT's other win, outdistancing their closest competitors by almost ten seconds with a time of 7:54.97.
Freshman Stephanie Brown picked up a pair of victories in the "B" finals, first as a member of the 200-yard medley relay team along with Thornton, Ellie Souganidis and Jackee Nowicke (1:54.11), and then as an individual in the 100-yard backstroke (1:04.20).
Also notching important points for the Engineers were Souganidis and freshman Priya Parayanthal, who finished fourth and sixth in the 100-yard butterfly, respectively, and the 200-yard medley relay team of O'Keeffe, Parayanthal, Jen Chao and Stephanie Sidelko, which grabbed a third-place finish.
Head coach Dawn Gerken has been delighted with the way her team has rallied around each other in the midst of a draining three-day event.
"With three full days of swimming and diving, this is an extremely exhausting competition," she said. "The thing that truly impressed me today was the fact that our athletes, despite being mentally and physically tired, stepped up and swam for each other. Everyone showed a lot of heart because they wanted so badly to come through for their teammates."
Wheaton College's 200-yard medley relay team of Iris Meehan, Emily Sweatt, Abby Pratt and Meg Miller set the only conference record of the day with an NCAA "B" cut time of 1:49.65.
The competition will come to a close with the final seven events tomorrow evening.
"Hopefully we'll have another big day tomorrow," Gerken said. "Springfield will be tough to hold off, but we're certainly going to give them a run for their money."

Organization Inspiration: Media Storage
For the audiophile enthusiasts getting really into vinyl, or the media collector (hoarder?), the question is: where do you put it all?
There are multiple routes to go, depending on how organizationally capable you are or want to be.
• If you can pull off pairing down, store away the bulk of your collection in cabinets, drawers or furniture with doors, and put out your favorites in stacks. Rotate out the media you're not listening to or watching as your interests shift.
• Get holders, binders, boxes, bins, baskets. Who says it's all got to be showing? If you prefer the neater look of boxes and magazine holders, invest in sturdy models of the same color for an organized, congruent look. Muji and The Container Store are good places to start.
• The vertical nature of your space is your friend. Take advantage of floor-to-ceiling shelving units, either of the industrial nature or by way of IKEA. The EXPEDIT has been known to fit records perfectly, and the Billy is specialized for books, DVDs, and CDs.
• Invest in custom built book shelves to house all of it: books, CDs, DVDs, your TV, your sound system. If you take your collection seriously, this might be the way to go.
These examples range from custom-neurotic-organization to the verging-on-messy style. How do you store your media? What style do you prefer?

Endowed funds generate perpetual income to support the libraries. They may be restricted to particular subject areas or be more broadly discretionary, depending on the donor's preference. Endowed funds may also support such functions as collection digitization or collection preservation. A minimum gift of $25,000 is needed to establish a named, endowed library resource fund. Planned gifts, such as bequests and gift annuities, may be also used to establish endowed funds, and most existing endowed funds are open to additional gifts from all library donors.
Endowed funds support over one-fourth of the library resources budget of approximately $2.27 million. More recent funds provide additional income beyond the resources available from the regular budget. Examples include the George and Susan Lanyi fund for politics, the Robert '55 and Fioni '90 Rotberg fund for African and Latin American studies, and the Ellen '58 and Thomas O'Flaherty fund for collection digitization.

Four Races On Final Day Of The Melges 17 U.S. National Championship
29 September 2008
The 30 boat Melges 17 fleet was greeted with brisk winds on Sunday morning. A nice 8-12 Northeast wind blew down beautiful Lake Geneva for the final day of Melges 17 racing. A 9am start time allowed the judging team to get in 4 races. It was a perfect day for Melges 17 sailing and an ideal day to crown a new National Champion!
While the velocity was fairly consistent the wind shifts sure were there. From front to back, everyone had an opportunity to enjoy some big rewards on the race course. Race winners on this final day of the regatta were Vincent Porter (big lead in race one). Then Art Brereton rattled off a couple of big wins to bring him into the regatta after a difficult first heat. Then Mary Anne Ward won the final race in style with a big lead and big win! Congratulations to the race winners!
While the racing was tight throughout the fleet it was especially close between Vincent Porter and Iggy Labanauskus. Iggy is the defending champion and this year is was sailing with his superstar sailing brother and 2007 Melges 17 Inland Champion Andy. The racing went back and forth as Porter had a 1, 3 to start his series but Iggy had a 1,3. On a shifty downwind leg in race 3 Porter finally put some points on Iggy as Iggy dropped back to a still respectable 7th to Porter's 5th.
Going into the final heat the wind had dropped considerably so it made the final race rather exciting. You could tell Porter wanted to be in the "same water" as Iggy as they sailed up the lake. Iggy was just too elusive though, he got around Porter and extended. To hold onto his lead Porter tried to roll the dice which dropped him back to a 15th in the last race to Iggy's 3rd. Art Brereton finished a 2nd in the final heat well behind final race champion Mary Anne Ward.
Iggy is the two time Melges 17 National Champion. Congratulations to Iggy and Andy! Please see the final results posted.
With this being the Melges 17 fleet we also had some "17" Winners. All were awarded something at the trophy presentation. 17th place in each race received a Melges premium. Ben Biwer was 17th in two races! Bob Heathcote finished 17th overall and received special recognition and Toby Sutherland from Denver, Co. was the 17th boat registered! All 17!
There are many youth sailors and women involved with the Melges 17. Notably the Ripkey sailors. Matt sailed really well with fellow youth Coye Harrett. They almost won race race number 3. Matt's sister Hannah sailed well also. This was her first Melges 17 event and her Dad crewed for her. "I made him hike"! Good for you Hannah! Bill Wiggins had a Lake Norman Youth Champion crew for him and 5th place overall in the championship went to Tom Munroe. Tom sailed with his son Tom and they were a tough tandem out there. Watching his young son crew on this boat in pretty good wind was impressive to see. They were all smiles at the awards presentation! Another couple of young guys came out from Denver's Grand Lake Fleet. Ben Ingalls drove out to sail and had a blast on and off the water! Thank you all for coming and thank you for your youth sailor participation.
The Melges 17 is a great couples boat too! Brian McMurray and his wife sailed a fantastic regatta to achieve 4th place overall. They traveled all the way from White Lake, MI. Rob Conley and good friend Kara Kaiser were 7th. John and Lesa Gutenkunst sailed really well to be 8th overall. Lesa and John moved to Pewaukee after living and sailing a lot on San Francisco Bay and the Melges 17 was their boat of choice so they could sail and race together. Pete Toumanoff and his wife sailed well and had a 4th in race number 2. Deb and Jim Gluek are always in the front of the fleet and Dave Harrison with his wife (new to sailing) did a nice job as always on the water.

LYNCHBURG, Va. (May 8, 2012) -- ETSU track and field freshman Katerina Vodova (Humpolec, Czech Republic) scored 5,208 points in the heptathlon on Tuesday at the Lynchburg College Open, taking third place in the event and nearing the current NCAA qualifying mark.
Vodova's point total over the two-day meet ranks her No. 35 in the NCAA, and fifth best among freshmen. The top 24 heptathlon marks from the season qualify for the NCAA Tournament field. The current qualifying total is 5,329, which is held by Notre Dame's Maddie Buttinger. On the way to Vodova's new personal best in the event, she also set career marks in the 200m (26.38) and 800m (2:21.39).
Sophomore Jared Davis (Memphis, Tenn.) competed in the men's decathlon, setting a personal best with 5,978 points. En route to his new mark, Davis put up career efforts in the long jump (6.10m), shot put (11.36m), 400m (50.81), and 110m hurdles (17.12).
"I'm very proud of both Katka [Vodova] and JD [Davis] in their performances these last two days," ETSU assistant coach Eli Sunquist said. "Both had lifetime bests in their events, which is great.
"We were shooting for Katka to score 5,400 in the heptathlon, but a poor showing in both throws made that tough. Her overall score was still 500 points higher than her previous personal record from last year, so things are headed in the right direction."
The ETSU men's and women's track and field teams are scheduled to compete this Friday and Saturday at the Georgia Tech Invitational in Atlanta.

Theodoros the Great Ascetic
Our father among the saints Theodoros the Great Ascetic was a monk of the monastery of St. Savvas near Jerusalem who became Bishop of Edessa in Syria. His feast day is celebrated on July 19. His Life was written by Basil of Emesa. The work A Century of Spiritual Texts is included in the Philokalia and is believed to have been written by St. Theodoros.
In the middle of the 9th century, St. Theodore of Edessa converted the "Saracen king", Muawid, one of the three sons of the Umayyad caliph Mutawakkil (847-861), to Orthodoxy, baptizing him with the name John together with his three confidants.[1]
This article or section is a stub (i.e., in need of additional material). You can help OrthodoxWiki by expanding it.
Excerpts from A Century of Spiritual Texts:
- Since by God's grace we have renounced Satan and his works and have sworn allegiance to Christ, both at our baptism and now again through our profession as monks, let us keep His commandments. Not only does our double profesion demand this of us, but it is also our natural duty, for since we were originally created by God as 'very good' (Gen 1:31), we owe it to God to be such. Although sin entered us through our negligence and introduced into us what is contrary to nature, we have been reclaimed through God's great mercy, and renewed by the passion of Him who is dispassionate. We have been 'bought with a price' (1 Cor 6:20), namely by the blood of Christ, and liberated from the ancient ancestral sin. If, then, we become righteous, this is nothing great; but to fall from righteousness is pitiable and deserves condemnation.
- Just as a good act performed without genuine faith is quite dead and ineffective, so too faith alone without works of righteousness does not save us from eternal fire; for 'he who loves Me', says the Lord, 'will keep My commandments' (cf. John 14:15, 23). If then, we love the Lord and believe in Him, we shall exert ourselves to fulfil His commandments, so as to be granted eternal life. But how can we call ourselves faithful if we neglect to keep His ordinances, which all creation obeys, and if, althought we have been honoured above all creation, we are the only creatures who disobey the Creator and show ourselves ungrateful to our Benefactor?
- When we keep Christ's commandments we do not benefit Him in any way, since He is in need of nothing and is the bestower of every blessing. It is ourselvese that was benefit, since we win for ourselves eternal life and the enjoyment of ineffable blessings.
- If anyone whatsoever opposes us in the fulfilment of God's commandments, even if it is our father or mother, we ought to regard him with hatred and loathing, least we be told :'He who loves father or mother or anyone else whatsoever more than Me is not worthy of Me' (cf Matt. 10:37)
- Let us bind ourselves with all our strength to fulfil the Lord's commandments, lest we ourselves shoud be held by unbreakable cords of our evil desires and soul-corrupting pleasures (cf. should be passed on us as well : 'Cut it down, so that it does not clutter up the ground' (Luke 13:7). For, as Christ says, whatever 'does not produce good fruits is hewn down, and cast into the fire' (Matt. 3:10).
- He who gives himself to desire and sensual pleasures and lives according to the world's way will quickly be caught in the nets of sin. And sin, when once committed, is like fire put to straw, a stone rolling downhill or a torrent eating away its bank. Such pleasures, then, bring complete perdition on him who embraces them.
- So long as the sould is an state contrary to nature, running wild with the weeds and thorns of sensual pleasures, it is a dwelling place of grotesque beasts. Isaiah's word apply to it : ass-centaurs shall rest there, and hedgehogs make their lair in it, and there demons will consoft with ass-centaurs (cf. Isa. 34:11, 14. LXX) - for all theses animals signify the various shameful passions. But the soul, so long as it is joined to the flesh, can recall itself to its natural state at any time it wishes; and whatever it does so and disciplines itself with diligent effort, living in accordance with God's lwa, the wild beasts that were lurking inside it will take to flight, while the angels who guard our life will come to its aid, making the soul's return a day of rejoicing (cf. Luke 15:7). And the grace of the Holy Spirit will be present in it what is good and rise to higher levels.
- The Father define prayer as a spiritual weapon. Unless we are armed with it we cannot engage in warfare, but are carried off as prisoners to the enemy's country. Nor can we acquire pure prayer unless we cleave to God with an upright heart. For it is God who gives prayer to him who prays and who teaches man spiritual knowledge.
- The Philokalia, v. 2.

PRINCETON, N.J. – After opening the season last week at the Head of the Charles, the MIT women's openweight crew team took part in the Princeton Chase today. The Engineers had a pair of boats entered in the varsity 8 competition.
MIT had its best showing by the "A" boat, which finished the three-mile course in 15:00.900 to place 31st among the 55 entries. The Engineers finished 9.67% behind the top crew of the day, the Virginia A boat that sliced through the course in 13:41.434. MIT was just a little over a second behind the Dartmouth A team and finished within five seconds of crews from Princeton, George Washington and Cornell.
MIT's "B" entry finished the course in 16:05.034 to place 49th. Also competing in a 1x for MIT was senior Jean Sack (Eureka, Cali.) who completed the course in 19:06.905.
MIT will take to the water again next weekend when the Engineers will take part in the Dartmouth Green Monster Invitational on the Connecticut River on November 3.

The Bloody Mary has to be one of the most versatile cocktails out there – but very few people have the audacity to alter it much from its vodka roots. As it were, I am the queen of bastardizing classic cocktails. I love switching out the vodka for other spirits – especially tequila. And I also love adding beer.
This weekend, I found myself craving a Bloody Mary (with beer, naturally!) – but I didn't have tequila in the house (insert sad face). But, I did have some Mezcal – which got the brain ticking. Why not mix-up a smoky almost BBQ-like Bloody Mary with the Mezcal?
But in order to get that straight off the grill, molasses BBQ flavor really narrowed down – I decided to use a stout in the recipe. The result? A bad-ass Bloody Mary hybrid worthy of being garnished with a slice of bacon. In fact, you better garnish this baby with bacon – if you truly want a flavor orgasm in your mouth!!! Continue Reading

The release of a 2004 CIA inspector general's report on the agency's "enhanced interrogation" techniques, along with two other previously classified memos, has thrown a harsh spotlight on former Vice President Dick Cheney's oft-repeated pro-torture arguments. But corporate media seem intent on deflecting much of that glare.
Earlier this year, Cheney spent weeks on the airwaves, explaining that these CIA memos would back up his argument that torture provided valuable intelligence that helped thwart attacks against the United States (FAIR Media Advisory, 5/29/09). But the heavily redacted documents don't appear to do that. Of the two that Cheney asserted would help his case, reporter Spencer Ackerman noted (Washington Independent, 8/24/09) they "actually suggest the opposite of Cheney's contention: that non-abusive techniques actually helped elicit some of the most important information the documents cite in defending the value of the CIA's interrogations."
Some reporters managed to reach the opposite conclusion, though how they did so was unclear. On the CBS Evening News (8/25/09), reporter Bob Orr said: "The once-secret documents do support the claims of former Vice President Dick Cheney that harsh interrogations at times did work. Interviews with prisoners helped the U.S. capture other terror suspects and thwart potential attacks, including Al-Qaeda plots to attack the U.S. consulate in Karachi and fly an airplane into California's tallest building." The problem is, whatever one makes of the CIA's argument that their interrogations yielded valuable intelligence, there's nothing in the documents newly available to the public--and to CBS--that actually argues this intelligence was produced by the torture techniques like waterboarding that Cheney so publicly defended.
As Ackerman told CounterSpin (8/28/09): Cheney and his supporters' argument "depends a lot on conflating the difference between saying the documents show that valuable [intelligence] came from detainees in the program, and then saying that it came from the enhanced interrogation techniques themselves.... That's a conflation that has served the former vice president's purposes."
Many other accounts treated the release of these documents as another chance to play "he said/she said." An August 26 Los Angeles Times headline read, "CIA Interrogation Memos Provide Fodder for Both Sides." What sort of "fodder" they gave to Cheney's side wasn't evident in the story itself, which pointed out that the CIA documents "are at best inconclusive--attesting that captured terrorism suspects provided crucial intelligence on Al-Qaeda and its plans, but offering little to support the argument that harsh or abusive methods played a key role."
ABC reporter Brian Ross (8/25/09) managed to convey the lack of evidence for Cheney in the documents, but inexplicably still left things up in the air: "Nowhere in the reports, however, does the CIA ever draw a direct connection between the valuable information and the specific use of the harsh tactics. So, Charlie, there's just enough for both sides to argue about, while CIA officers in the field are left to figure out just what is expected of them."
NBC's Andrea Mitchell (8/25/09) sounded a similar note, explaining that "administration officials say there is no way to know whether the same information could have been obtained...without waterboarding" and airing a quote from an Amnesty International spokesperson pointing out that Al-Qaeda detainee Khalid Sheik Mohammed told the Red Cross that he lied "to mislead his interrogators and make them stop"--but then concluding: "An argument experts say that may never be resolved."
As FAIR noted in May, media's willingness to give Cheney a platform in the debate over torture shifted the discussion away from the central issue that torture is illegal under both U.S. and international law, and focused attention instead on torture's efficacy. The media allowed Cheney to push the discussion in this direction, in large part because Cheney assured that these secret documents would show that he was right. Now that it's clear they do not, will the media outlets that gave Cheney a platform continue to let him off the hook?

Final Stats UNC ASHEVILLE GALLERY
The Lipscomb Bisons soccer team ended a three-game unbeaten streak with 2-0 loss Sunday afternoon to UNC-Ashevillle.
"I think we missed a big opportunity there," said Lipscomb assistant coach Kevin Burk. "We played a little timid in the first half. We didn't have a sense of urgency. We were unsure of ourselves as players. We didn't attack their team at all. If we had applied more pressure we would have had a better result."
Both teams battled to a 0-0 first period tie. UNC-Asheville took nine shots and the Bisons took two. Things were more even in the second period as UNC-Asheville made six shots and the Bisons responded with 10.
"We were trying to be a little too relaxed," said Burk. "Once they scored that first one on our mistake we tried to push a couple of our players forward and they countered.
"I give credit to them. They had two great finishes on plays to score."
At the 73:58 mark of the second period J.W. Gallagher, scored unassisted for UNC-Asheville to break the deadlock. The victory was sealed at the 78-37 mark when Ian Wilmot scored an unassisted goal.
UNC-Asheville made five shots on goal with Gallagher leading the way with two. The Bisons had three players make one shot on goal _ Scott Mason, Xander Vooys and Babak Abouzar.
Goalkeeper Phillip Horner got the shutout, making three saves. Lipscomb goalkeeper Danny Prichard gave up his first goals after back-to-back shutouts. He also made three saves.
The Bisons made seven corner kick. UNC-Asheville made seven.
The loss ended a three-game unbeaten streak for the Bisons, 3-4-1, who are back in action Friday at home against Wofford.
UNC-Asheville is 2-3-0.

Review: Spigen SGP Steinheil Ultra Optics Screen Protector for iPad (3rd-Gen)
Company: Spigen SGP
Website: www.spigen.com
Model: Steinheil Ultra Optics
Price: $29
Compatible: iPad (3rd-Gen)
Spigen SGP continues its leading position in screen films with the newest version of its Steinheil Ultra Optics Screen Protector ($29), this time for the third-generation iPad -- with support for the iPad 2 as well. Like previous versions, the sheet of film comes packed with a cleaning cloth and solution, dust removing tape, and a squeegee -- everything you need to get your screen as clean as possible for the installation. It's one of the best films we've seen for the new iPad so far.
The installation process is the same as that of any other hard, dry-adhesive film: once the screen has been cleaned to perfection—a sometimes difficult task, depending on your environment—you peel the protector away from its backing, line it up, and let it adhere to the screen. We got very few bubbles in our installation, and were easily able to push out the ones that were there with the squeegee.
Although we've preferred and recommended anti-glare films in the past, the Retina Display in the new iPad has recently compelled us to use fully transparent films, at least until better anti-glare options exist. Every matte film we've tried has suffered from a distracting prismatic effect, turning the new iPad's screen into an array of tiny, glittering rainbow dots. Ultra Optics uses a "microlens" setup that combines the qualities of the two film styles. It's completely transparent and doesn't blur pixels, yet does a good job of hiding fingerprints and reducing some of the reflection. Under normal lighting conditions, there's no prismatic effect, although at the right angle in direct sunlight, there's quite a bit of rainbow glare. The one thing that users may find problematic is the high-pitched vinyl sound when you move your finger across the screen. Here, it's not quite as loud as the last version, but some users will find the "zip zip" sound of their gestures to be annoying.
We're happy to see that Spigen SGP got this one right—at least, as right as the microlenses allow film to be. Many users find screen film to be an important part of the iPad protection solution, but it shouldn't come at the cost of enjoying the latest model's high resolution display. Ultra Optics thankfully protects the screen without obscuring it, and fits quite well. We'd like the company to further reduce the sound, which would improve on an otherwise very good solution. The price still strikes us as a bit high for what appears to be a simple piece of plastic, but there's a lot happening with this film on a microscopic level, and the result is worthy of a strong general recommendation.

Parents who are facing the prospect of a layoff, salary cut or health-care squeeze may be in no mood to share that information with their children.
Children may have picked up on the fear and nervousness in the household but are afraid to express their anxiety about the economic downturn.
Thus, the family avoids starting grown-up conversations about family finances and how to stretch every dollar to make ends meet during these perilous times.
But what if you took an entirely different approach?
By including your youngsters in discussions about money and how to pay the bills, you might discover that your oldest teenager -- the one who goes through money like there's no tomorrow -- might have a suggestion or two on how she can earn more money by baby-sitting or manning the cash register at the grocery store. Or your seventh-grader who has a taste for designer styles might offer really good tips on living more frugally.
In that vein, I recently asked students in a Kansas City-area high school economics class that I regularly visit as a Junior Achievement volunteer to share some ideas on how they'd help their family manage the household budget better during this recession.
Some of the Raytown South High School students said they've already opted to cut back on entertainment and clothing expenses. Others said they are not driving as much to save on gasoline, while several said they are actively looking for a job that will pay more than the minimum wage.
"I am trying to limit things I want to buy instead of going crazy and buying anything that's appealing," said Margo Murray, who seemed to sum up the thoughts of several of her classmates.
Anthony Ward said he also is trying to watch his spending, whether it's $10 or 10 cents. "I would stay in the house more because every time I leave I tend to spend money," he said.
For Racheal Ward, the focus is on landing a higher-paying job. "Along with the job I would open a bank account and after paying taxes, I would take a portion of my check and put that money into a savings account," she said. Moreover, she is trying to be a more disciplined shopper by "leaving money at home so I won't have the temptation of spending it all at the mall like I always do."
Jessica Evans said using a debit card has helped manage her spending because she can only spend what she has available in her checking account. Tiffany Hylton is working on budgeting, and Nicole Lynch is baby-sitting and doing other things to make a few extra dollars.
"With the money that I get, I try to save it in case something comes up and I really need it," said Lynch. "I am trying to get a new job that makes a little more money, so I can help my parents out with things that need to be bought around the house and try to be a little more independent."
Several students said that these past few months have prompted them to think more about wants and needs.
"I have not been complaining about the types of clothes I am wearing, and about my cell phone and how much I want a new one," said Jessica Gerstner. "I have learned to do without things such as candy, pop, some makeup products, new shoes and new clothes because I know that those are some of the things that I don't have to have right now. I have enough clothes to cover my back for every day of the week and a pair of shoes to cover my feet, and food to fill my stomach."
Don't underestimate the ability of young minds to problem-solve. When it comes to money, many do get "it," and they're more than willing to drive less, cut back on trips to the mall, eliminate the nightly fast-food runs and make other sacrifices to help the family deal with the daily economic pressures.

London & Brighton
2009.04 London, Brighton / Europe Posted by admin / 0 comments
London is one of my favourite cities. We arrived at Stansted Airport and took the Stansted Express train to Liverpool Street (about 45 minutes). We stayed at the Hilton Olympia in Kensington which is easy to access via the tube station Kensington High Street. From there it is about 10 mins to walk. The hotel was wonderful and the breakfast fantastic. I will definitely stay there again.
On the 30th April there was a flash mob from t-mobile at Trafalgar Square. 13'000 people met to sing karaoke,..maybe it's a new record for the Guinness book. For a surprise Pink performed there as well and all in all it was a fantastic event.
We explored the city a few days and walked lots of miles 🙂 Check out the track below.

WASHINGTON — Two service members were among the dozen moviegoers killed Friday in Aurora, Colo., military officials said.
Air Force Staff Sgt. Jesse Childress, 29, of Thornton, Colo., and Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class John Larimer, 27, of Crystal Lake, Ill., died in the attack at the Century 16 movie theater. Both were stationed at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora.
Another sailor and another airman were wounded in the shootings at the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises." Both were treated and released.
Alleged gunman James Holmes remained in custody. Police say he carried an assault rifle, a shotgun and a handgun and wore full body armor during the attack, and rigged his apartment with explosives intended to detonate on entry.
The Pentagon said Friday that Holmes had never been a member of the armed forces.
