Evagrius Ponticus
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Evagrius Ponticus (345–399 AD) was a Christian monk and ascetic.
The Praktikos[edit]
- Bamberger, John Eudes, trans. 1972. Evagrius Ponticus: The Praktikos. Chapters on Prayer. Kalamazoo, Michigan: Cistercian Publications.
- 52. To separate the body from the soul is the privilege of only of the One who has joined them together. But to separate the soul from the body lies as well in the power of the man who pursues virtue. For our Fathers gave to the meditation of death and to the flight from the body a spiritual name: anachoresis [withdrawal].
- 64. The proof of apatheia is had when the spirit begins to see its own light, when it remains in a state of tranquility in the presence of the images it has during sleep and when it maintains its calm as it beholds the affairs of life.
- 81. Agape is the progeny of apatheia. Apatheia is the very flower of ascesis. Ascesis consists in keeping the commandments. The custodian of those commandments is the fear of God which is in turn the offspring of true faith. Now faith is an interior an interior good, one which is to be found even in those who do not yet believe in God.
- (Order: (1) interior good > (2) true faith > (3) fear of God > (4) keeping the commandments > (5) ascesis > (6) apatheia > (7) agape)
- 97. One of the brethren owned only a book of the Gospels. He sold this and gave the money for the support of the poor. He made a statement that deserves remembrance: "I have sold the very word that speaks to me saying: 'Sell your possessions and give to the poor.'"
Chapters on Prayer[edit]
- Bamberger, John Eudes, trans. 1972. Evagrius Ponticus: The Praktikos. Chapters on Prayer. Kalamazoo, Michigan: Cistercian Publications.
- 35. Prayer is an ascent of the spirit to God.
- 36. Do you wish to pray? Renounce all things. You then will become heir to all.
- 37. First of all pray to be purified from your passions. Secondly, pray to be delivered from ignorance. Thirdly, pray to be freed from all temptation and abandonment.
- 70. You will not be able to pray purely if you are all involved with material affairs and agitated with unremitting concerns. For prayer is the rejection of conceptions.
- 117. Let me repeat this saying of mine that I once expressed on some other occasions: Happy is the spirit that attains to the perfect formlessness at the time of prayer.
- 118. Happy is the spirit which, praying with distraction, goes on increasing its desire for God.
- 119. Happy is the spirit that becomes free of all matter and is stripped of all at the time of prayer.
- 120. Happy is the spirit that attains to complete unconsciousness of all sensible experience at the time of prayer.
- 121. Happy is the man who thinks himself no better than dirt.
- 122. Happy is the monk who views the welfare and progress of all men with as much joy as if it were his own.
- 123. Happy is the monk who considers all men as god — after God.
- 124. A monk is a man who is separated from all and who is in harmony with all.
- 125. A monk is a man who considers himself one with all men because he seems constantly to see himself in every man.
- 150. Just as sight is the most worthy of the sense, so also is prayer the most divine of the virtues.
- 153. When you give yourself to prayer, rise above every other joy — then you will find true prayer.

player-driven PvP conflict that pits the three player factions against each
I don't understand that mentality, in all honesty. If anything, Bioware proved that you can provide the story-centric experience and accessibility of a single player game into an online game with Star Wars: The Old Republic. The game has its flaws, but that was par for the course with Bioware products. I don't see why this game would be any different. If anything, The Elder Scrolls games have been far less story-focused and more open-world, so this should be something of a dream come true.
But that's just it, you can literally play Star Wars: The Old Republic solo. At most you'll see other players running about, but they have no impact upon your game.

Terrine Recipes
Mexican Vegetable Terrine Recipe
This vegetable terrine was inspired by Blaise, a regular PhamFatale reader, who suggested this vegetarian dish. I adapted it this week in anticipation of Cinco de Mayo. I layered grilled eggplant, tri-color roasted bell peppers, sweet basil leaves, celery, fresh pineapple, black beans and a lot of Oaxacan cheese.
The key to creating the terrine is to make sure the layers of flavors are tightly packed to showcase the colorful display. I garnished the vegetable terrine with shredded red oak leaf lettuce, diced avocado and crumbled queso fresco (Thank you, Queso Del Valle!). The last step is a flavorful salad dressing; I prepared this one with delicious champagne vinegar from our good friends at Bellindora.

Vegetarian Terrine Recipe (+Giveaway)
Terrine in French is a jellied dish. It's usually made of meat or seafood but today I made it exclusively vegetarian as an opportunity to experiment with the Redwood Hill Farm and Green Valley Organics products I recently received. Several of the people in my family are lactose-intolerant, so the combination of goat dairy products from Redwood Hill Farm and lactose-free cow dairy products is a real blessing. But the kefir, sour cream and yogurts are not just serviceable substitutions; these are some of the best dairy products I've ever used.
I created 3 layers respectively made with black beans and raw goat milk feta cheese, artichoke pesto; and sun-dried tomatoes and goat milk Cheddar cheese. I used agar agar, a seaweed substitute for gelatin, so the terrine would keep its shape together. To complete the dish, I drizzled it with tamarind chutney. Needless to say I've had a blast cooking with and tasting the products, and if you're lucky enough to win, you will too!
This is the last day of our 25 Days of Giveaways. Enter and you could win a prize valued at $100 (I picked my favorites from Redwood Hill Farm's selection of artisan cheeses also available for sale online at http://www.redwoodhill.com/
Make sure you're a fan of PhamFatale Facebook fan page, Green Valley Organics and Redwood Hill Farms or follow @Phamfatalecom and tweet about this giveaway. To make it easy, you can just copy and paste this tweet if you'd like: "$100 RHF & GVO #Giveaway from @Phamfatalecom and @gvolactosefree: http://bit.ly/sp4V7y".
PS: Also, the first 100 people to submit their address and the comment "Pham Fatale" on the Green Valley Organics contact page will receive a coupon for a free cup of yogurt! Hurry to get your coupon (the offer ends on 12/31)!
Ma petite poupée! (My little doll).
PPS: I have one other announcement to make today and it's that my husband Lulu and I welcomed our first child into the world recently. She's a very healthy little girl and she's quite a handful. The folks at Redwood Hill Farms were so sweet to send me a tee-shirt for her to wear, and I thought I'd share the picture with you. She will definitely be a Redwood Hill Farm kid. Merry Christmas everyone!

Vegetarian Agar Panna Cotta Recipe
Panna cotta is probably the easiest vegetarian appetizer to prepare once you've figured out how to deal with agar agar. It's all about the liquid to powder ratio. In case you don't know, agar agar is a seaweed substitute for gelatin. I've created several savory and sweet panna cottas in the past using it.
Like other gelatin-based products, panna cotta can be be formed in any shape you want. I shaped the ones I made today in verrine glasses. I layered this panna cotta with red hummus, broccoli florets, baby spinach leaves, morel mushrooms and sugar plum tomatoes. Assembling them is very simple and they can be prepared in advance. Serve this panna cotta with a large salad and a baguette and you've got yourself a delicious, light meal.

Terrine de Legumes (Vegetable Pate Recipe)
Terrine de légumes is another attempt on my part to share one of my favorite French "meat" dishes with my husband Lulu, who's a vegetarian. Pâté en terrine, in French, is a jellied meatloaf, so instead, I created a multi-layered vegetable terrine made of black lentils (for protein), grilled asparagus, crimini mushrooms, mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes. The jellied part of the terrine is replaced by a mixture of goat milk and agar agar.
I dressed the terrine with spicy parsley vinaigrette and decorated it with roasted chestnuts. You won't miss the meat!

Elsie needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 100 designs submitted by 36 freelance designers.
We have recently become a UK limited company and so are rebranding. This contest is for a redesign of our own logo, (for use on website and stationery). In the longer term we are seeking designers with whom we can work to create logo designs for our clients and feel this is an ideal opportunity to see what you have to offer.
Chadwick Design Limited
We need a logo for Chadwick Design Limited. The word "limited" or "LTD" is optional within the design itself. The logo will be used on letterheads, business cards and our website (which will is getting a make-over by us). The present logo is blue, but we quite like the colour combination of lime green and grey. Since this is a rebranding exercise, we are open to ideas on colours and style.
We want the logo to reflect the fact that we are a modern, up-to-the-minute web design company and are also reliable and experienced.(Nothing too wacky please!!)
Also we like latest design elements including refective, glossy, shiney.
- Your ideas!
- Clean, fresh, unfussy, modern design
- Design centred on typography & shapes
- Ideally, Photoshop files at 300dpi (including layers as appropriate) at around 10cm square
- List of fonts used
- clipart-style images

An act of war brought me to permaculture. On September 11, 2001, I had been a mother for little more than three weeks. I was immersed in the care and feeding of my tiny, vulnerable, perfect baby girl. There was milk dripping from my breasts and I was tender in all ways.
As I sat and watched the towers fall, holding my baby in my arms, I knew that the world was going to change, and probably get worse. Motherhood being what it was, my central concern was with the health and safety of my baby, her care and feeding and continuity. What was it going to be?
The answer didn't come immediately, but the war following the fall of the towers, and a move out of our city, led me circuitously back to the garden, back to re-skilling in the kitchen, back to worms and compost and the joy of co-creation with the earth.
A few years later, I trained in permaculture at the Regenerative Design Institute in Bolinas. Penny Livingston-Stark, Lydia Neilsen and James Stark were my teachers. During the year I studied, the problems I saw all around me start shifting and morphing into solutions. Not enough water? Tap your greywater and divert it to the landscape. No food security? Grow it yourself. Fossil fuel energy ruining the globe? Tap into the power of the sun. And so many other practical, logical and accessible skills were revealed.
I found myself easily able to learn, master and apply these skills in the place where I live. Now these many years later, the permaculture way is just how I live. I feel that permaculture is a beautiful, evolving design science that teaches us peace with creation. Rather than thinking of the world as a resource base for my use and deployment, I am a steward of the land where I live (rented), the waters that I use (diminishing), the food that I grow (abundant), and the connection to earth energy (all around me.)
My daughter is 13 now, and I work as a permaculture educator and advocate, as well as a somatic psychotherapist. I see these paths as being the same—healing the multiple traumas of our violent and disconnected culture, on both the inner and outer levels. Permaculture has brought us a way of living in place, sharing our values and dreams with the people we care about, and a way of educating our daughter into a life in the earth. This has brought us a delightful posse of earth-loving creators, artists, farmers, and free folk we now call friends. We consider ourselves blessed by the bees and beets and buckets of water that surround us.
Permaculture creates peace because it is a hands-on, appropriate technology; an adaptable and flexible way to live within the limits and opportunities of our place. It teaches us, through ecological principles, to observe and interact with our world, and to take actions rooted in reality, not in some fantasy of domination or control.
Permaculture creates peace because it teaches us that we are both small and powerful, that our daily actions make a difference in changing the world where we live. Permaculture creates peace because it gives us a template for living in respectful relationship, not only with the animals and plants the surround us, but with the people with whom we share our home place.
I have found, paradoxically, that it is simpler to grow carrots than it is to get along with my neighbors. I don't think I am alone in practices of polarization and projection that make it hard for us to view one another as allies. Permaculture has taught me how to do the right thing—use less, share more, slow down and listen, design from patterns to details. If peace is the pattern, the details must rest in how we act every day—with an open heart, or a closed mind. When operating from within the permaculture ethos, where we hold earth care, people care, and fair share as our guiding ethics, the open heart leads the way.
Permaculture helps us cultivate abundance where we live. This makes it possible to extend into the world in a spirit of enough-ness, offering generously and with gratitude. This cultivates inner peace, and the ripple effects of peace with all creation.
While it is true that world continues to turn to war, no matter how many times I turn my compost bin, I've also learned from permaculture to get right-sized—some of what is happening in our world is in my hands, but mostly, it's in bigger hands than mine. Knowing that, I embody the permaculture maxim: "If the world is going to end tomorrow, I am going to plant a tree today." This helps me live through some of the hardest passages of human aggression and cruelty, while cultivating a soil where something else can grow.
This fall I am honored to be offering a year-long permaculture design course with three other women than we call Permaculture from the Inside Out. My co-teaching team is called the 13Moon Collaborative, and we are Kyra Auerbach, Rachel Kaplan, Delia Carroll, and Cassandra Ferrera. Our course is an offering of the classical permaculture curriculum with the addition of a deep focus on the inner environments we inhabit. It is time that we compost consciousness toward peace, as readily as we compost our kitchen scraps. It is the mission of the 13Moon Collaborative to bring the body back into the center of the conversation about sustainability and community resilience. It is our contention that tending to the inner garden, while we tend to the outer landscapes we inhabit, will help us make wiser, more grounded and more appropriate choices with positive and peaceful effects in our world.
Permaculture from the Inside Out, 13 Saturdays, once a month, starting October 2014 and running through October 2015. $1200 early bird registration fee through September 27 (mention the Shift Network when you register). For more information and to register, go to www.13MoonCollaborative.com, or email@example.com. We welcome you in this co-creative journey of growing our sense of peace with creation.

Far worse than the threat from international terrorism is the aggressive process of secularisation that has gripped our country, and most of Europe"That's Peter Mullen, chaplain to the Stock Exchange. His article is amusingly bad tempered and contains some real gems, I'll share a few of his insights:
"it is against the law for state schools to teach the Christian faith as true...This is atheism by decree...
"...the many people who believed that homosexuality should be decriminalised never intended that this should create the proselytising Gay Liberation Movement...now the love which once dare not speak its name, shrieks at us in high camp from decorated floats along the high street.
"...the public was told by its supporters that legalised abortion would abolish the damage to women's health at the hands of the back street abortions...now 200,000 embryos every year are ripped, untimely, from the womb just because people fear that a child would interfere with their lifestyle.
"...the devout Muslim reproaches the secularised for their valueless consumerism and reckless hedonism...What do we reply? "No, thank you. We've got our own values - and if you don't like them we'll fire a salvo of condoms at you."
"How truly Nietzsche prophesied that, after the death of God, crass utilitarianism would result in "pig philosophy". "
I don't even understand the Muslim-condom bit, and I'm always annoyed at being accused of being a consumerist hedonist just because I'm an atheist. As the chaplain to the stock exchange you'd think he'd realise that, at least for some, Christianity appears to be (disturbingly) compatible with a selfish and greedy capitalist outlook, indeed this particular branch of evangelical Christianity is supposd to be the one part of the Anglican church that is on the rise - and one need only look over the pond to see it firmly enmeshed in a highly consumerist culture and possessed of real political power.
Conversely, I was always assured by my Gran that university would turn me communist, atheist, vegetarian, and gay - and while not all of those came true there's certainly an affinity between leftist politics and atheism that suggests that atheism is not inextricably connected to consumerism.
Finally I'm not aware of any law preventing Christianity being taught as 'true' (there should be mind you), indeed there is a legal obligation for a daily act of worship of a Christian character (a law fortunately mostly ignored) as well as schools of an explicitly Christian character. Presumably in religious education classes you aren't allowed to teach Christianity as true, just as you can't declare socialism as true in politics classes. The only area I can think he's referring to is science, where you can't teach children that creationism is true, and evolution by natural selection is false, because, you know, there's no scientific evidence for it whatever the Bible says.

In a recent brand survey by Millward Brown, Apple has taken the top spot from Google as the world's most valuable brand. The survey revealed the Apple brand to be worth a staggering $153 billion; which was a huge increase on last year's figures. This resulted in Apple coming out on top and ended Google's four year reign at the top.
Peter Walshe, global brands director of Millward Brown, says Apple's meticulous attention to detail, along with an increasing presence of its gadgets in corporate environments, have allowed it to behave differently from other consumer-electronics makers. "Apple is breaking the rules in terms of its pricing model," he told Reuters by telephone. "It's doing what luxury brands do, where the higher price the brand is, the more it seems to underpin and reinforce the desire."
Out of the top ten brands revealed in the survey, six were technology and telecoms companies. Google at number two, IBM at number three, Microsoft at number five, AT&T made number seven and China Mobile number nine.
The survey takes the value that the company puts on its own brand in its earnings report as a starting point. This is then combined with the perceptions of over 2 million consumers in the market who are surveyed over a 12 month period. A factor is then applied based on the company's short-term future growth prospects.

Although this piece appears to have been written by an African American, it was much more likely anonymously composed by a white Federalist, complete with a stereotyped version of African American speech. In 1801 when this piece appeared in the Greenfield Gazette and Isaiah Thomas's Massachusetts Spy, the Federalists feared that President Thomas Jefferson wanted to level society to the point where African Americans would be on an equal par with whites in all ways. They remembered Jefferson's, in their minds, overly enthusiastic support of the French during their revolution. Although Federalists may have agreed that Blacks deserved more freedoms, they believed that Jefferson supported a complete leveling of society that went well beyond what they saw as reasonable. These attitudes are revealed in this satire. The fact that this creator chose an African American voice through which to speak is a telling indicator of white northern perceptions of African Americans in this period.

(CNN) -- Twenty-one days after her bone marrow transplant, "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts is now recuperating in the comfort of her own home, as she wrote in a post on "GMA's" website.
Roberts was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder in June, but thankfully found a bone marrow match in her sister, Sally-Ann, who helped Roberts through the process along with their other sister, Dorothy.
"I'll be adding that to the long list of things for which I am grateful," Roberts said in her post. "Least of all, my new and improved bone marrow from Sally-Ann. My doctors tell me her cells are making themselves right at home, and with the grace of God, I pray they will continue to do so."
In the meantime, Roberts is going to continue to rest at home on hiatus from "GMA" "until I'm given the all clear," she said. "But sleeping in my own bed again feels like a big victory."
She thanked her medical team, who will continue to monitor the TV anchor to ensure everything's progressing as it should, as well as her fans for their thoughts and prayers.
"I know it is your prayers and warm thoughts that have gotten me this far," Roberts said. "Each day I get stronger and stronger. ... [E]ven in some dark moments, of which there are still a few, I now see that light at the end of the tunnel. This too really shall pass."

Months after the stressful—and sometimes unfaithful—holiday season, couples in trouble often pick March as the time to call it quits.
Seattle radio station KLPU reports that lawyers and relationship experts cite this month as the most common for divorce.
From the story:
"Divorces spike shortly after the holidays. That's the time when people have finally made the decision get a divorce," lawyer Mark Ohnstad told the online site Findlaw….
According to FindLaw.com, searches for "divorce" and related phrases such as "family law" and "child custody" jumped 50 percent – from just over 10,000 in December 2010 to nearly 16,000 in January 2011, and continued to surge through March.
Pepper Schwartz – sociology professor at the University of Washington, a sex columnist for magazines and the author of more than a dozen popular books about love and relationships – speculates that the spike in divorces during this month can be attributed to a seasonal enlightenment.
After spending the holidays together, spouses may come to the realization that they are no longer happy and it is time to end their marriages.
"I would suppose that it's the spring season, you just had a long miserable winter together, you've had it," Schwartz told KPLU. "A reawakening of the earth and a reawakening of new possibilities."
Waiting until the new year to divorce also allows married couples to file their taxes jointly, KLPU said.
John Mayer referenced this March breakup phenomenon in his song "St. Patrick's Day," when he sings that no one wants be alone for Christmas, New Year's or Valentine's, so even troublesome relationships are "safe 'til St. Patrick's Day."

text: Roma's sixth draw of the campaign leaves them in seventh place, 23 points behind leaders Juventus and three behind Lazio [AFP]Brazil playmaker Hernanes put Lazio ahead but later missed a penalty in a 1-1 draw with Roma in the city derby on Monday that left both clubs still battling for Europa League spots. Hernanes also fouled Miralem Pjanic to give away a penalty for Roma in the 56th minute that was converted by 36-year-old captain Francesco Totti. Hernanes scored in the 16th with a spectacular effort from 25 yards, but missed a penalty wide in the 48th. Lazio ended the match with 10 men after Giuseppe Biava picked up his second yellow card in the 69th. The draw, which broke a run of three straight derby wins for Lazio, left Lazio in fifth place, one point behind Fiorentina. Roma are three points further back in seventh. Violence The match was marred by violent clashes outside the Stadio Olimpico before kickoff, with at least four fans stabbed and an ambulance attacked. Lazio controlled most of the first half and Hernanes' shot into the top left corner was a thing of beauty, leaving goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg with no chance. Roma finally started to attack in first-half added time, and Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti had to stretch out to punch away a dangerous shot from Totti just before the halftime whistle. Three minutes into the second half, Roma defender Marquinhos handled inside the area. But Hernanes, who had been perfect from the penalty spot previously this season, uncharacteristically placed a soft shot wide of the target. The miss energised Roma, who lost limping midfielder Daniele De Rossi for Mattia Destro in the 53rd. Three minutes later, Hernanes fouled Pjanic to set up Totti's penalty. It was Totti's 12th goal this season and 227th of his Serie A career, moving him within 47 of Silvio Piola's all-time record. Last month, Totti passed Swedish great Gunnar Nordahl to sit second on the all-time list. It was also Totti's ninth career goal in the Serie A derby, tying him for the record with Dino Da Costa and Marco Delvecchio. Da Costa has 11 derby goals, including Italian Cup matches. "This is the greatest record,'' Totti said. "I wanted this one more than all the others.'' Totti had another chance in the 64th with a low free kick, after which Alessandro Florenzi missed two rebounds. Five minutes later, Lazio lost Biava. Lazio striker Miroslav Klose, making his first start after a long injury layoff, made little impact. "Unfortunately we threw away the first half - we just weren't able to get into the match,'' Totti said. "But the second half went better and the important thing was that we didn't lose.''

First and fifth ingredients are named meat products
Minimum acceptable meat content, controversial filler
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product, in meal form. There are further meat meal ingredients 5th and 6th on the ingredient list, giving us some amount of confidence in the meat content of the food. The first of these is a fish meal, but we find no sign on the manufacturer's website of a guarantee that only ethoxyquin-free protein ingredients are used in this food (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative, commonly added to fish ingredients, and that is banned or heavily regulated in human food due to the belief that it is carcinogenic). Blood meal is an ingredient without specific definition, but is likely to be meal made from the blood of slaughtered pigs.
The main grains in the food are barley, oatmeal and rice, all of which are decent quality. This many grain products ahead of the fat content does start to suggest a somewhat grain heavy product, however. Fats are both bacon and chicken, each of which is identified by species.
Beet pulp is filler, and a controversial ingredient. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. The food contains a good range of probiotics. We note the inclusion of synthetic vitamin K, a substance alleged by some to be linked to liver problems.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
As part of its mandate under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission requires periodic reports from public and private employers, and unions and labor organizations which indicate the
composition of their work forces by sex and by race/ethnic category. Key among these reports is the EEO-1, which is collected annually from Private employers with 100 or more employees or federal contractors with 50 more employees.Approximately
68,000 employers, representing 54 million employees, filed EEO-1 reports in 2016.
The confidentiality provision which governs release of these data (Section 709 (e) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972) prohibits release of individually identifiable information. However, data in aggregated format for major geographic areas and by industry group for private employers (EEO-1) are available. The following tables are national aggregations by those industries with the greatest employment.
SIC Industry definitions and codes used in the tables from 1998 through 2002 are based upon those given in the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual. NAICS Industry definitions and codes used in the 2003 through 2006 tables are based upon those given in the 1997 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Manual. For 2007 tables and indicators, NAICS 2002 definition is used. Starting with year 2006, Metropolitan Statistical Areas are based on the CBSA (Core Based Statistical Area) as defined by the Office of Management and Budget of December 2005.
Due to the unique racial and ethnic composition of the population of Hawaii, employment data for establishments in that state have been excluded from all aggregates of EEO-1 data prior to 2007. From 2007, the State of Hawaii is included in all the aggregates.
*Note: Starting with the 2016 data release, certain industry aggregations are no longer published due to disclosure limitation rules. The publishing of respondent participation rates in EEO-1 is also discontinued.

Urban Outfitters founder and CEO Dick Hayne, also board chair of Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, has given a $5 million seed gift to support a bold initiative that positions SCH as one of the most forward-thinking institutions in the Greater Philadelphia area.
Dr. Priscilla Sands, SCH president of SCH Academy, unveiled the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL) at a recent multimedia launch for parents.
Hayne, one of the country's leading entrepreneurs, has a long history with the school.
"SCH Academy has been on the cutting edge of innovative programs for several years, and the CEL will allow students to follow their passions, think like entrepreneurs, and have their already rigorous program enhanced in more creative ways," said the parent of two alumni and past board chair of Springside School (which merged with neighboring Chestnut Hill Academy last year).
Through the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, SCH students will complement traditional "core" classes in English, science, math, language, and history with seminar topics that have been identified and endorsed as imperatives for the "future ready" student.
During the next two years, seminars in engineering, new media, entrepreneurship, public speaking, philosophy, statistics, and international partnerships will be integrated into each student's course of study, followed by elective opportunities in junior and senior years. Students will be able to learn from some of the top entrepreneurs in the country, including, Hayne and other well-known business leaders.
Project- and passion-based learning as well as Stanford University's Design Thinking, will be infused throughout the curriculum in all divisions and all subject areas. Already boasting a core teacher population trained in the tenets of design thinking — to serve as agents of change through innovation, creativity, and collaboration — SCH will, in fact, have the unique distinction of an entire faculty trained in design thinking by a Stanford team at the end of this academic year.
"The development of such an exciting new educational direction would not have been possible without the merger of our two schools, which provided an opportunity for faculty and school leadership to work together and take a fresh look at our school-wide curriculum," said SCH head of school, Frank Steel.
"This curriculum is not only fresh and smart, but the program we can offer through the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership is unlike any other college prep curriculum offered at the secondary level," said Dr. Sands.
The Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership is part of a transformative strategic vision that includes a master campus plan and capital campaign in support of the school's enhanced programmatic and educational direction. The scope of the master plan addresses both long- and short-term objectives, including immediate attention to playing fields, pathways, sidewalks, landscaping, and signage.
The resounding affirmations the school has received by professors, provosts, and department chairs at several colleges and universities, including University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, New York University, and Lehigh University, are summarized best by Dr. John R. Kimberly, professor of Entrepreneurial Management at Wharton.
"SCH Academy is embarking on a very exciting, truly path-breaking initiative that will help redefine the scope, content, and delivery of secondary education for years to come," said Dr. Kimberly.
"The faculty and administrators who have worked together to design the new approach should be congratulated for their willingness to break from tradition in service of creating a new, technologically enabled model that puts the school on the leading edge of educational innovation."

To paint trim, start at the corner and brush the paint onto the trim area. Reload the brush approximately every twelve inches. Repeat these steps until all the trim area is complete.
Use a brush for painting in a small panel. You can use a brush over the entire surface to avoid the appearance of roller stipple.
Allow enough time for the paint to dry fully before putting doors and windows back into use. Otherwise, they will stick together.

In the first article on energy drinks, I looked at the effects of sugar and caffeine when combined with alcohol. This time I'm going to take a look at the role of an amino acid called L-Carnitine, which is in many of the energy drinks. It is usually in the amount of 250 mg per serving. The reason this ingredient piqued my interest is that in the United States, L-Carnitine is a supplement, which is available to anyone and in Canada it is a drug which requires a doctors prescription to obtain. So the question is; what effect does L-Carnitine have when consumed with alcohol?
When I take a look at edible chemicals, I usually refer to PubMed, which is an online database of medical and clinical research. This is a vast resource for medical research, and often there is some valuable research that I can quote. In the case of L-Carnitine and alcohol, there are many good papers that will shed some light on this substance.
Here's some necessary information. First, L-Carnitine is an essential amino acid that the body uses to shuffle fatty acids into the cell's mitochondria, which is the cells power plant. It can be synthesized within the body from the amino acids lysine or methionine with a little help from Vitamin C. It is essential to help convert food into energy, hence the reason it is included in many energy drinks. L-Carnitine also has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system and helps improve resistance to muscle fatigue.
Now, when you combine an energy drink, with alcohol, what effect does it have? First I discovered that there are no known side effects of L-Carnitine and alcohol (ethanol). This is a good thing since the popularity of energy drinks in bars is increasing. There were also some other papers that reported that L-Carnitine alleviates alcohol-induced liver damage and it inhibits gastric mucosal injury, i.e. it can prevent alcohol-induced ulcers.
Another study showed that L-Carnitine prevented alcohol-induced brain cell alterations indicative of human fetal alcohol syndrome. This means that there is some possible brain cell protecting benefits from L-Carnitine. I'm sure that will make a lot of people happy to know. This study is interesting because it would indicate that L-Carnitine has some protective activity against alcohol. Another studied showed a protective effect on prenatal ethanol damage to the brain. As a final addition to these findings of great therapeutic interest, oral administration of Acetyl-L-Carnitine was shown to improve the cognitive impairments of 55 chronic alcoholics. So, it seems that L-Carnitine has neuroprotective benefits, specific to the brain.
Other studies have shown that L-Carnitine may alleviate symptoms of alcohol withdrawal at 200 mg/kg. That is a significant amount. For example, if you weigh 75kg (165 lbs), you will need 15 grams of L-Carnitine per day to see the desired effect. Also, for any hyperactive people out there, present data suggest that Acetyl-L-Carnitine, a drug devoid of psychostimulant properties, may have some beneficial effects in the treatment of ADHD children. So, for all the skater kids on Ritalin, those energy drinks just might be helpful, again don't quote me on that.
The last study is that energy drinks may improve alertness in an alcohol-induced state. However, the same study indicated that motor function was still impaired. For example, the drunks who drank an energy drink we still be as goofy and uncoordinated as the drunks who didn't have an energy drink. Their perception, however, is that they don't feel as drunk. This is one of the dangerous things, because it may give you the false impression that you are not drunk, when in fact you are. So, if you are drinking Red Bull and vodka, the Red Bull doesn't give you any benefits to resisting impairment, you are still inebriated so don't drink and drive.
To date, this research has caused me to think differently about combining energy drinks and alcohol. The substances in the drinks don't seem to have any dangerous physiological effects, like liver damage, except that people may feel more alert and not realize they are intoxicated. However, this isn't something new, just think about all those old movies where someone comes in drunk and their friends say "we need to get you some coffee to sober you up, pal." The guy is still drunk; now he's just more awake.

So it seems MTV is as anxious to bid adieu to Jersey Shore as the rest of us. Both last week and this week they've shown two back-to-back episodes, and before you know it, there will be no more to show. It's kind of like removing a Band-aid – get it over quickly, and it will be less painful.
We started out with Snooki moving into her own pad, which was one of many mature moves we know she made in her motherhood journey. She laid down some rules, "Absolutely no sluts in the house, no skanks, no drinking … kind of like a pregnancy house." Which was great for Snooki, but there's not a whole of that happening anywhere this summer as Pauly D is the only single one in the house. Oh there was the random girl showing her boobs and vagina, but that was just sad.
I'm glad for their livers and sexual health, but it's certainly making for one dull season. I was hoping they would go out with a bang, but so far it's just a disappointing little pop.
Mostly it was just more of the same old stuff, but in a tamer (read: boring) way. Mike is still a slime ball, just a sober one. He loves Paula but doesn't want to be taken off the market. I will give him props for singing "Rehab," however. He kind of rocked that.
Deena is ridiculously, annoyingly lovesick. I'm happy for her and Chris, but they are just sickening and sappy in their love. "I thought I knew what love was but I didn't know until I met Chris," she actually said. She's got to be a joy to live with.
Sam and Ron started bickering again, though at least things didn't get bad ... yet. JWOWW and Roger had some problems after he showed up late to the party she'd planned for him, but seeing as how we know they're now engaged, it doesn't really matter.
Then there was the BIG fight that was all hyped up as the biggest in Jersey Shore history, but even that was just predictable. And ... well that's about it. It was pretty much 50 shades of boring for the entire two LONG hours. Maybe next week they can just roll all of the rest of the episodes, and we can just end things once and for all.
Best line of the night came from Deena, with a balloon stuffed up her shirt: "It's hard to Jersey Turnpike while pregnant."
What do you think of Jersey Shore so far this season?

Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score | Photo Gallery
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale softball team was clicking on all cylinders in Wednesday's doubleheader with Fairfield. The Bulldogs got excellent pitching, timely hitting and played solid defense en route to a pair of victories over the Stags. Kayla Kuretich tossed a three-hitter with six strikeouts as Yale won the first game 5-1. In the second game, Megan Enyeart went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI and tied the school record for career doubles as the Bulldogs cruised to an 8-1 victory. Nine different players had hits in the two games for Yale.
Meg Johnson went 2-for-3 with two RBI and Mariclaire Rebman had two hits for the Bulldogs in the opener.
Kuretich allowed a leadoff single to Kristie Trifiolis in the first inning and then didn't give up another hit until the sixth. She benefitted from some fine defense in the first inning when Katie Yanagisawa and Johnson turned a nifty double play. Kuretich didn't need any help in the second as she struck out the side.
The game was scoreless until the fifth when the Bulldogs finally broke through. Mariclaire Rebman singled, moved to second on a balk and advanced to third on Lexi Peacock's ground out. Chelsey Locarno then delivered a clutch, two-out RBI single up the middle.
Yale (12-14) scored four runs in the sixth to give Kuretich some breathing room. Johnson's two-run triple was the big hit in the inning.
In the second game, the Bulldogs banged out 12 hits. Johnson and Virginia Waldrop had two apiece.
McKynlee Westman's two-run single in the second gave Yale a 2-0 lead. The Bulldogs added another run in the third. Lauren Huddleston singled and Katie Edwards was hit by a pitch to start the rally. Enyeart then drove home Huddleston with a single to center.
Yale sent 10 batters to the plate and scored five times in the fourth. Yanagisawa, Edwards and Enyeart knocked in runs in the inning. Edwards's RBI was the 84th of her career, the second most in school history. Enyeart's double was the 36th of her career, which ties Jesseka Bartholomew's Yale record.
Deanna DiBernardi pitched the first five innings for the Bulldogs and was outstanding. She retired the first eight hitters she faced and didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning. Rebman got the last six outs.
Yale is back in action on Saturday, playing a doubleheader with Columbia starting at 12:30 p.m.

Technical Support
Here are some helpful guides to keep your Canyon in top shape! Just pick the relevant category to find the solution to your issue.
Adjust Fox CTD [copy]
CTD stands for "Climb" (Uphill Mode), "Trail" (riding on the flat and for easy trails) and also "Descend" (riding downhill and difficult trails). The CTD technology is fitted to all Fox models with 32mm, 34mm stanchions and Float shocks.
CTD allows the rider to adjust his suspension to the current riding conditions in no time at all. The shock can be conveniently adjusted via a lever on the shock itself or on the handlebar. This allows the low speed compression to be adjusted. This means that the speed at which the shock or fork compresses is adjusted. In the descend mode the compression phase is open and the shock responds very sensitively. Picture 1 In the trail mode the suspension is much stiffer to prevent pedal bob Picture 2; however the suspension responds to obstacles. In the climb mode the compression phase is almost completely closed, thereby completely eliminating pedal bob and still absorbing greater shocks. You set the CTD system using the blue lever. Picture 3.
Trail Adjust
Some CTD suspension elements are additionally equipped with the Trail Adjust System. This allows the rider to make very fine adjustments to the compression in the Trail mode. There are the three positions soft, medium and firm. The harder the adjustment the more pedal bob is suppressed and the sensitivity of the shock's response is reduced. You can set the Trail Adjust System function on Fox Float CTD shocks using the black ring. With the red knob you can adjust the rebound. Picture 4
Due to the larger wheels the suspension on 29er bikes is not as susceptible to shocks emanating from the ground as bikes with smaller wheels. Therefore our 29er full suspension bikes are fitted with shocks that have Light-Velocity-Tune. The reduced compression damping means that the rear triangle performs very responsively when, for example climbing on root sections. However the differences to CTD are less noticeable than with shocks with higher levels of compression damping.
