Participants of the Holy Land Tour expressed their delightfulness from the final day of the 2018 Holy Land Tour. Livestream from the ministration before the Gala available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpT2m9YEw_k
Participants of the Holy Land Tour expressed their delightfulness from the final day of the 2018 Holy Land Tour.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome– the founder of the renowned Christ Embassy Church has organized the final day of the 2018 Holy Tour as a "day to remember". The week-ling visit to Israel was designed to play a crucial role in the spiritual success of the believers and followers of Pastor Chris and the Church. The trip was divided into four different groups, each accompanying the Pastor at crucial moments and sites. The Holy Land Tour aims to connect Christ believers with the Land of Jesus, expanding their understanding of the Bible and scripture, and thus connecting them to the Jewish land on a new level of faith. The entire tour was broadcasted and covered extensively by the news agencies, social media, and multiple streaming websites. The organization have thus declared the visit as "an overwhelming success".
The day began while one of the groups still resided in Jordan, a neighboring country to Israel. They visited the city of Jerash. It is a city of the Decapolis and the site of the ruins of a Greco-Roman city. The site is filled with historical and biblical references dating back centuries. The Biblical Holy Land is not just in Israel, it spreads out to other modern-day countries such as Jordan, making this tour an opportunity to experience new countries.Participants expressed how amazed were they by the rich archeological diversity the site offered. They shared that "it was a moment in which Christians could understand, first hand, where Jesus resided and what He went through in His life."
The participants were then served at a traditional Lebanese restaurant in Jerash, Jordan. The group received a warm welcome and had the chance to try traditional food and drink. The Holy Land Tour provides the opportunity not only to connect to the scripture but also to experience the diverse culture of Middle East.
The group went back to Israel by crossing the Allenby Bridge border. The Allenby Bridge, which is also known as the King Hussein Bridge connects the West Bank with Jordan and crosses the Jordan River. Other than through the West Bank, the bridge is currently the sole designated exit/entry point for West Bank Palestinians traveling in and out of the region.
To wrap up the day and the Holy Land Tour itself, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and Pastor Benny Hinn are prepared to host a charity gala at Olmaya Hall, Jerusalem. The event will feature a ministration from the Man of God, leading his followers closer to Jesus and their faith. Invited guests include local and international members of the Evangelical community as well as supporters from the Jewish community and fans of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. The Jerusalem Orchestra will also be there.
The ministration before the Gala will be broadcasted live tonight (Thursday the 17th of May), at 6PM (GMT+1) or 8PM Israel time. Those who want to watch the livestream can follow the official broadcast links on YouTube and Facebook:

May 18, 2009
Fairfield, Conn. (May 18, 2009) - For the second-consecutive year, the Sacred Heart University athletic program has been awarded the Northeast Conference Commissioner's Cup winning the 2008-09 title on the strength of five league championships this season. In addition, Sacred Heart won the NEC Women's Cup Championship for the third-straight year and for the first time in program history won the NEC Men's Cup Championship as well, sweeping all three awards. The Pioneers posted the highest point total in NEC Overall Commissioner Cup history with 244.07 points and in NEC Women's Cup history with 140.85 points.
The 2008-09 season at Sacred Heart included NEC Championships in women's basketball, women's lacrosse, men's golf, men's tennis and softball. The 2009 women's lacrosse and men's golf teams became the first programs at Sacred Heart to earn back-to-back NEC Championships while the men's tennis team and softball team took home their first-ever NEC titles this spring. The Pioneers finished among the top-three in the final NEC standings in women's and men's cross country, field hockey, football, women's indoor track & field, men's and women's outdoor track & field, men's basketball, baseball, women's tennis and women's golf.
"Winning the overall Northeast Conference Commissioner's Cup is a special capstone achievement for Sacred Heart University," commented Athletic Director C. Donald Cook. "Winning in both the men's and women's categories just adds an extra measure of satisfaction to what was an immensely satisfying accomplishment a year ago when the University won its first overall Commissioner's Cup. This year's sweep of all three categories (men, women, overall), including, setting a new NEC record for overall and women's points is the wonderful validation of hard work and dedication at every level of the University."
Sacred Heart's 244.07 total points delivers the Pioneers the 2008-09 Cup over Monmouth University in second place (199.55) and Long Island University in third (171.62). Quinnipiac University finished in fourth place (162.01), Saint Francis-PA University took fifth (161.57), Central Connecticut State University was sixth (158.45) and Robert Morris University finished seventh (157.25). Mount St. Mary's University placed eighth (150.30), Fairleigh Dickinson University finished ninth (134.26), Wagner College was 10th (119.94) and St. Francis-NY College rounded out the field in 11th (74.76).
The Pioneers claimed the university's first Commissioner's Cup last season with 219.01 points, topping Monmouth to snap the Hawks' four-year lock on the Cup. This year's 244.07 total points sets the new standard with UMBC's 222.09 in 2000-01 and Monmouth's 220.37 in 2006-07 next in line. Last year's winning point total is now the fourth-highest Cup point total for a winner.
For the first time since the 2001-02 campaign, the men's Cup will be headed somewhere other then Monmouth University as the Pioneers edged out the Hawks, 103.22 to 96.66. The race came down to this past weekend with the Pioneer baseball team finishing second in the final standings and the Hawks fourth heading into this coming weekend's NEC Baseball Tournament at New Britain Stadium.
This season's women's Cup title is the fourth in program history (2008-09, 2007-08, 2006-07, 2003-04) while their 140.85 points marks the highest point total by a NEC women's program in the history of the Cup. The previous record was held by UMBC in 2001-02 with 131.17 points.
The women's hoop team won the NEC Regular Season Championship this season by rattling off an 18-0 conference mark, becoming just the third team in league history to accomplish the feat. After earning a share of the regular season title for the second-straight year, the women's lacrosse team earned the #1 seed and right to host the league tournament for the first time in program history. The softball team made the most of their first-ever NEC Tournament appearance, ripping off three-straight wins in the playoffs to claim the title. This season also saw three student-athletes earn NEC Player of the Year honors in their respective sports as sophomore Alisa Apo (Freehold, NJ) of the women's basketball team, senior Amanda Williams (Monroe, CT) of the women's lacrosse team and senior Patrick Fillian (Tinton Falls, NJ) of the men's golf team took home the award. In addition, six coaches were named NEC Coach of the Year this season in head women's basketball coach Ed Swanson, head women's lacrosse coach Laura Cook, head men's golf coach Ed Connolly, head women's golf coach Matt McGreevy, co-head softball coaches Elizabeth Luckie and Pam London and head men's tennis coach Paul Gagliardi.
Sacred Heart is completing its 10th season of competition on the Division I level and in the Northeast Conference. The Pioneer athletic program has won 16 Northeast Conference Championships during that time span with 10 coming in the last two years of competition. The women's basketball (2006, 2009), women's lacrosse (2008, 2009) and men's golf programs (2008, 2009) have each claimed two titles each. The women soccer (2001), football (2001), women's cross country (2005), field hockey (2005), baseball (2006), men's indoor track & field (2008), men's outdoor track & field (2008), women's outdoor track & field (2008), men's tennis (2009) and softball (2009) have also claimed titles to give the SHU athletic program NEC championships in 13 of the 22 sports sponsored by the league.
The NEC Commissioner's Cup was instituted during the 1986-87 season with Long Island winning the inaugural award. Fairleigh Dickinson and Monmouth lead all NEC schools with six Cups to their credit. Cup points are awarded in each NEC sponsored sport. For men's and women's basketball, women's bowling, men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, football, softball, field hockey, women's lacrosse and baseball, the final regular season standings are used to determine Cup points. In all other sports, points are awarded based on the finish at NEC Championship events.

I figure (and have most of the receipts to prove it) that my wife and I spent about $2000 this past week on expenses and purchases directly related to the rally. Of that, about 50% went to vendors that (less their expenses) took the money home. So, I am the average age and income of a BMW owner and say I spent the average amount per person. There were 8000 attendees.Originally Posted by robnye
8000 x $500 = $4,000,000
Damn, your figures are right on! How did you know?

I don't know lots about this so I won't pretend like I do But, I assume it is the same as any ingredient. You can read "rose" or "iris" or "sandalwood" in fragrances notes and it can smell completely different in each one.
Obviously there's the rich "Catholic" incense (as people call it), you have more Arabian style uses etc. I'm also assuming it's down to what it's blended with also. For example, a rose would smell different if you added cocoa to it, to if you added bergamot. Oils interract.

Resistive touchscreens
Resistive Touchscreens were the real breakthrough in common use touchscreen technology. With resistive touchscreens also came flexible, cost effective touchscreen technology which is available for industrial and medical use. Nowadays resistive technology is a mature well known technology. Resistive technology has been available within the SCHURTER group for nearly 20 years. SCHURTER has built upon extensive knowledge of resistive technology, the manufacturing of the products and the materials used. SCHURTER can help you to fulfil your needs with a wide range of standard 4-wire, 5-wire and 8-wire sensors. If in the unlikely case a standard sensor will not fit your display, SCHURTER can assist you with the design of a custom made resistive touchscreen.
A wide range of standard sensors in 4-, 5- and 8-wire technology as well as customer-specific sensors which fullfill application-specific requirements are available.
For special applications and extended specifications, SCHURTER offers you special types of resistive touchscreen technology in various designs.
Based on our knowledge and experience with this resistive touchscreen technology, we can assist you with the design of your individual resistive touchpanel specifically to suit your application.
The general specifications of our industrial resistive touchscreens are:
- Surface finish: Antiglare or Clear
- Light transmission: > 80%
- Sizes: 3″ to 24″ diagonal size
- Construction: film-on-glass (FG), film-film-glass (FFG) or PC or others
- ITO glass thickness: 0.7 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.8 mm

SCHURTER provides various standard controllers for USB and serial interfaces for contacting all resistive touch screen technologies.
Overlay Film
To increase the mechanical stability and the realization of dirt-free touch panels, resistive touch screens are laminated over the entire surface with a customer-specific overlay film.
Resistive touch screens are available in different designs:
1) 4-wire technology are most commonly used technology
There are 2 electrodes for the X direction on the top circuit and 2 electrodes for the Y direction on the bottom circuit. This is the most flexible and cost effective technology.
2) 5-wire technology
This technology is suitable in harsh environments with a high volume of operations required. The 4 electrodes are specially designed on the bottom circuit and sensed by the top film. As the electrodes are burned into the glass, a highly durable system is created.
3) 8-wire technology
This technology is like the 4-wire resistive but has extra sense lines for each electrode. This extra sense line is used to compensate resistance changes due to rapid changes in temperature. This will provide a stable system, suitable for environments subject to constantly changing conditions.
4) Matrix/digital technology
In this technology the contact fields are defined within the conductive layers of the touchscreens. This will provide a very robust and reliable system but is not as flexible in the software design as the above mentioned technologies.
Please discuss with your representative the best/most suitable resistive touch technology for your application.
Advanced resistive touchscreen technology
SCHURTER offers you special forms of resistive touch screen technologies which are optimized for your specific application requirements.
Glass-Film-Glass (GFG) touchscreens
GFG touchscreens offer high resistance to scratches, abrasion and chemicals due to an additional laminated glass layer on the surface and they can also be operated with gloves.
For outdoor applications we offer the GFG LR technology (low reflective) with integrated Polarizer filter and Lambda quarter film.
Various shielding materials are available for integration into the GFG touch screen to prevent EMC interferences.
Our resistive touchscreens are implemented in many different applications and highly demanding markets.
From the Medical market to the Automation market, you can find SCHURTER's customer-specific touchscreens everywhere.

Linsanity is alive and well tonight as Jeremy Lin gave New York a nice Valentine's Day present: a last-second three-pointer to nail the Knicks' win over the Raptors.
As journalists are trying to capture Lin's rise to popularity in the NBA, some might look to Poynter for tips for how to cover the phenomenon, potential pits to watch for and story ideas to consider. Naturally the organization offered some tips for covering the Linsanity phenomenom. In trying to capture the uniqueness of Lin's story, Poynter urges journalists to avoid falling into stereotypes when covering an Asian American Harvard graduate who is a "devout Christian."
When you think of "Ivy League grad," what stereotypes come to mind? Brainy, elitist, arrogant? "Asian American man"– inscrutable, passive, reserved? "Devout Christian" — judgmental, moralistic, holier than thou?
There's nothing like a "judgmental, moralistic, holier than thou" description to hammer down what journalists think of when they think "devout Christian." Thankfully, though, the author pointed journalists to Michael Luo's first-person narrative in the New York Times, where Luo compared his own background as an Asian American Christian who went to Harvard to give examples for why the basketball star has particularly resonated with so many people. Luo isn't usually in first-person mode. He is an investigative reporter for the Times who has also worked at the Associated Press, Newsday and The Los Angeles Times. We looked at the piece a few days ago and saw a few pieces of background on his Twitter feed, but we thought it would be interesting to talk directly to Luo about religion and ethnicity, why he felt vulnerable writing his piece and the state of religion and the media.
You have gotten quite a bit of response to your first-person piece on Jeremy Lin. Do you think the media misses potential distinctions when covering religion and ethnicity?
Yes, the response on Twitter, Facebook and in reader emails has been pretty stunning. More than 1,500 people tweeted the story link, according to Topsy.com, the social media search engine. At one point over the weekend, it was the most tweeted story on nytimes.com, other than our Whitney Houston obituary. All this for a little essay than ran in the back of the Sports section in the print edition.
In response to your question, I grappled a good bit with what exactly I could say in my essay that was new and potentially instructive about Jeremy Lin. I thought about just explaining my emotional connection as an Asian American, which is arguably applicable to a broader swathe of people. But I realized writing about him as an Asian American Christian, specifically, could be illuminating, because it is a sub-category on the religious continuum that is not widely known. It is also a huge part of Lin's identity. Understanding that he is an Asian American Christian, specifically, is important to understanding him, I felt. Of course, that is not what the entire piece was about. I was trying to explain this welter of emotions inside of me that he evokes and this multi-layered sense of connection.
Certainly, there is a danger in lumping all theologically conservative Christians, or "evangelicals," together, because there are distinct differences in the histories, cultural milieus and general orientations of white, black, Asian and Latino evangelicals. Has the media papered over these distinctions? Sure. Part of it is our under-coverage of religion in general. The other part of it is just getting out there and covering these communities in thoughtful, in-depth ways.
When you tweeted that it was a vulnerable column, did you feel like you were risking something by writing about yourself? How do you think reporters who are open about their faith are perceived internally at their media outlets or externally as a reporter?
As a journalist, my instinct, in general, is to shy away from making myself the story in any way. The risk in identifying myself, as I did in the article, as one of these "every-Sunday-worshiping, try-to-read-the Bible-and-pray" types is on two levels. There's the personal risk in terms of what others might think of me, whether they will instinctively try to put me in a certain box, or ascribe certain stereotypes onto me, which no one likes. There's also the journalistic risk, in terms of whether it might affect my ability to do my job and be credible as an objective journalist. I weighed the latter a good bit with Joe Sexton, the sports editor, and Phi Corbett, the Times' standards editor. Both thought that the piece did not cross any inappropriate boundaries.
A top-tier newspaper is like any other institution filled with a lot of highly educated people, many from elite schools. Religious belief is not the rule, but I would contend that there are more committed Christians and others who take their faiths seriously at the New York Times than you might think. I'm definitely not the only one. In terms of how reporters who are open about their faiths are perceived, I don't know exactly what people think of me privately. Have there been times, with a comment here, or a remark there, when I have felt uncomfortable as a Christian? Yes, certainly. But I can also say that it has never been held against me at the newspaper. In fact, I think higher-ups at the paper consider it an asset, just as it's an asset to have people of varying racial, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds and life experiences at the paper.
You wrote, "I like to think of my approach to faith as nuanced and not fitting easily into anyone's standard boxes." Do you think reporters understand how to write about faith in a nuanced way?
I think newspapers and the media in general could do a better job on this front. We tend to write about religion from the perspective of conflict. It's a general journalistic trope, not just in religious coverage. I think we could do a better job seeking out stories about how faith plays out in people's everyday lives. That's where nuance comes out.
In comparing Lin to Tim Tebow, you suggest that Asian American Christians are rarely culture warriors. If someone like Tebow might be considered part of the culture war, is that due to the way he acts out his faith or perhaps the way he's portrayed by the media? Or maybe both?
I think part of it has to do with him and part of it—maybe even much of it—has nothing to do with him at all. Yes, as you pointed out, he did appear in a Focus on the Family television commercial. And, yes, there's the way he "Tebows" and wears the eye-black with the Bible verses. He also has this in-your-face, warrior persona, not necessarily specific to the culture wars but just as a football player. But I think the manner in which Tebow has become such a polarizing figure is also, in large measure, because of how he has come to represent the stereotype of all evangelicals—specifically white evangelicals who are part of the so-called religious right. That's partly the media's fault. But that's also partly just the way the word, "evangelical," has morphed since the 1980s into a political term, synonymous with Christian conservatism, as opposed to a theological one, which is how it really began.
You are not on the religion beat per se, but your stories often overlap with religion. How do you decide when to follow a religion angle in an otherwise more general story?
I work in the investigations cluster at the New York Times, so I don't really cover religion as part of my normal job at all these days. I spent the last year doing a series of investigative stories on gaps in gun laws. And now I'm working on political investigative stories. I did briefly cover religion for the metro desk several years ago. And I have been sometimes asked to lend a hand on certain religion stories, particularly when it comes to coverage of evangelicals. But I've also just stumbled upon religion stories when I've covered other beats, just because they're there for the taking. When I was doing a rotation in our Baghdad bureau back in 2006, I did an article on the plight of Iraqi Christians. When I covered politics, I inevitably found myself doing various stories relating to religion, like one I did on Hillary Clinton's faith. Reporters are always looking for something new and fresh to write about. Sometimes the most fertile ground that has not been trodden upon relates to religion.

1 pkg. Duncan Hines Spice cake mix
1 pkg. banana or vanilla instant pudding (½ cup or small pkg.)
1/2 c. Crisco oil
1 c. water
4 eggs
Blend all ingredients in a large bowl, then beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Bake in a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes until center springs back when touched lightly. Cool right side up for about 25 to 30 minutes, then remove from pan.
When ready to serve, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with coffee ice cream. I serve this for Christmas using my Nordic Ware Holiday Wreath pan.
I have this strange feeling that I've posted this before, but I did a search and didn't find it. I like to serve this with coffee ice cream.

Once I was found out I could never have gluten again, I thought I would never, ever have a fabulous sandwich again. No more paninis, or my mother's famous Italian subs. No more infamous "Famous Roast Beef" sandwiches in the little local restaurants that seem to dot the New England landscape.
But as well are all finding out; more and more food opportunities are out there. More small businesses are cropping up with quality products, making all the food we thought we had to say goodbye to, possible. It seems that there are going to be a lot more delicious sandwiches in my future.
Today, lunch by myself at home, no radio playing in the background, just quiet, sunshine on the snow and my little table I love to eat at, with the smell of a potentially fabulous sandwich in front of me, and the time to enjoy it.
My husband used to laugh at me, I used to tell him that really, really good food could tickle my shins and make my toes curl up. This sandwich did that to me. Maybe it is because I never thought I could have one again, maybe bacon just makes everything taste so darn good. Or maybe it was the new twist on the combo, the sweet snap and bite of the green apple against the smoky bacon and lettuce, a drip of mayo.
My word, I am running out to the store to get more bacon. Is there such thing as a bacon diet? ;)
The bread I used here is from the company, Walk on Water. I LOVE the no wheat-faux wheat loaf. My sandwich was great because of this bread. I buy the loaf, cut the slices, and package them two slices together, and freeze. When I want a sandwich, or toast, I pull out the package, defrost, toast and I am ready to go.
BLA (Bacon, Lettuce, and Apple) Winter Sandwich
(I called this a winter version, since tomatoes would be fabulous in the summer when fresh, not so good in the winter though. )
2 slices favorite gluten free bread
3 slices bacon (cooked or uncooked, whatever you have on hand)
nice slice of green apple
mayo (make sure gluten free)
Toast your bread. (I love to pan fry mine with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.) Cook or reheat bacon. Put apple slice on heated pan for about 2 minutes each side, enough to take the chill off, but not so much to take the snap out. Spread slices with mayo, top each slice with some lettuce. Add bacon and apple. Sit and enjoy.
PS. There is some Big Idea vote going on over at Martha Stewart's blog. One of the ideas for a special edition magazine for people with food intolerances. Go on over and vote if you'd like to see Martha create a magazine for us and others with food intolerances. Don't let the pet lovers beat us out! :)

Carrie ~ LOL! Once a meat lover, always a meat lover! :) As you can see, I am done my diet testing, no change, so I can eat meat again, but I have cut WAY back. (Which needed to be done, I just didn't want to!)
Lea ~ It was a great sandwich, I can't wait to have it again!! I love the fresh tomatoes too, but they are so sad this time of year!
CeliacChick ~ It does have corn starch in it. Other ingredients: rice flour, tapioca flour, eggs, honey, molasses, montina flour, potato flour, agar, xanthan gum.
I am so bummed if you can't eat it, it is the best I have tasted yet.

That bread looks so good! Just like the "real" stuff. I've been experimenting with baking my own and while it's edible it's not the same.
I had a bacon phase after Christmas. I even toasted bread in the bacon fat after cooking the bacon. Unbelievably good.

The Chelsea Building Society has made a provision of £41m for such mortgage fraud, and it is not alone. The fraudulent mortgage brokers licensed by the FSA were a critical link in the chain that allowed the banks to lend so recklessly; the negligence of the FSA in this respect is directly responsible for the billions that bailing the banks out has cost us all. Ukala and hundreds more like her are part of the government's self-inflicted economic injury. And they're not all Nigerians.
Thamesmead in south-east London is an area of new pile-it-high flog-it-cheap housing on a rancid marsh at the side of the Thames opposite Dagenham. It's also the centre of mortgage fraud and over-valuation on an unbelievable scale; stories have been circulating on south London building sites for a couple of years about pastors from the African churches arriving at sales offices with suitcases crammed with banknotes to buy the new homes as they were built. When the bubble burst the collapse in property values was so catastrophic that rumours abound of emergency intervention to stabilise the local market.
Now six more people have appeared in court in connection with Thamesmead mortgage fraud; as FTAdvisor reports;
It wasn't only the bankers who got rich from the recklessness of Fred Goodwin and his kind; it was every minor league fraudster, 419er, scammer and crooked babu in the country. And the extent of mortgage fraud now appears to have been so widespread that a good part of the hit we're taking on our home values is not down to the US Sub-Prime market but the reckless negligence of the FSA in licensing so many fraudsters, crooks and scammers.
The fraud came to light last year following reports from banks and building societies when the properties came to be either sold or re-possessed and the true property value was realised by the lender. Eleven arrests were made as part of an investigation by the Metropolitan Police's money laundering team between May and November last year. It is alleged a company bought 84 off-plan new build flats in Thamesmead, south-east London, and resold them at inflated prices.
In most cases, it is alleged the buyers would not otherwise have qualified for a mortgage.
Mohamed Alie Barrie, 38, of Pinewood Close, Dartford, has been charged with conspiracy to defraud, conspiracy to money launder and money laundering. Brad Sean Fisher, 42, of Tiptree Crescent, Ilford, has been charged with conspiracy to defraud and two counts of money laundering. Sofiyah Ahmed, 26, of Howard Road, Walthamstow, has been charged with conspiracy to defraud. George Sourou, 42, of The Crescent, Ilford, has been charged with conspiracy to defraud and five counts of money laundering. Stuart Joseph, 62, of Furham Field, Pinner, has been charged with conspiracy to defraud and false accounting. Dean Aladapo Dairo, 44, of Eastern Avenue, Aveley, Romford, has been charged with conspiracy to defraud and false accounting. Two men have been released without charge, while three men have remained on bail.
Those that remain on bail include a 40-year old man who was arrested in north London on suspicion of laundering the proceeds of crime. He was found in possession of a briefcase containing 152,000 Euros and $2000 US dollars. A 28-year old man who was arrested in north London on suspicion of laundering the proceeds of crime is on bail. He was found in possession of a carrier bag containing £100,000 cash.
Also remaining on bail is a 39-year old man who was arrested on suspicion of money laundering offences.
If ever there was a better argument for a return to Bank regulation and the consignment of the FSA to the dustbin of history I've yet to hear it. The creation of the FSA was one of Gordon Brown's first acts as Chancellor, and his purblind stupidity and utter unfitness for any financial office is ultimately to blame for this debacle.

ALBANY, N.Y. – The UMBC volleyball team claimed each of the first two sets on the road Friday night at Albany, but was forced to play five decisive sets to earn its first-ever win on the road against the Great Danes, claiming a 3-2 victory in America East action at University Gymnasium.
"That was a real gutty win for us" said UMBC head coach Ian Blanchard. "Albany is always a really tough place to win, we had to come from behind and steal the momentum, and we did a really good job of persevering."
The Retrievers were previously 0-14 all-time against the Great Danes in New York.
"It was great to see the team come together when we needed it most and get the win," Blanchard said. "I'm really proud of our team's effort tonight."
Sophomore middle Krystal Mlemchukwu (Baltimore, Md./Western Tech) led the UMBC (12-7, 3-1 AE) attack with a team-best 19 kills, while senior setter Mallory McIntyre (Winnipeg, Manitoba/St. Mary's Academy) returned to the lineup and dished out a season-best 56 assists.
McIntyre kept the Retriever attack balanced all night as the visitors outhit Albany (2-14, 2-2 AE) .214-.178 with junior Hannah Schmidt (Catonsville, Md./Mount de Sales), senior Emily Witsaman (Medina, Ohio/Medina), and sophomore Sherelle Walker (New Freedom, Pa./Susquehannock) also in double figures for winners. In addition, Schmidt scooped up 14 digs for her third double-double of the season.
The Retriever backline was steady all night with freshman libero Casey Griffith (King of Prussia, Pa./Upper Merion) recording a career-best 28 digs and senior Ali Goc (Oshawa, Ontario/R.S. McLaughlin) registering 26.
Samantha Brostrom (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) paced all hitters with 21 put-aways for Albany while setter Mikala McCauley handed out 58 assists in the losing effort.
The Retrievers started their road trip on a good note, taking the first two points of the opening set and eventually widening the gap to four at 11-7 on a Great Dane attack error. UMBC kept up the pressure, and built the lead up to seven, 17-10, following three straight kills from Mlemchukwu. Albany did not go quietly, however, coming all the way back to tie the set at 24-24, and again at 25-25, but another Mlemchukwu kill and a block by Witsaman and Schmidt ended the opening frame.
The two teams started the second set evenly and found themselves tied at 7-7 after a kill from Albany's Amanda Dolan. The Retrievers answered with four straight points, the last on a Schmidt service ace, and never looked back. The Great Danes attempted to climb back in and clipped the lead to two at 22-20, but the Black and Gold took a two sets to none advantage by claiming the final three points of the set.
Though the Retrievers held off the Great Danes in the second set, they could not hold off the hosts in the third. Albany jumped out to a 4-0 lead and never trailed, outhitting the guests .556-.185 in the frame. UA eventually forced a fourth set by winning the third on a service error, 25-12.
Albany continued the hot play into the fourth set, but UMBC put up a fight as both squads hit well in the frame (.438-.343). In the end, the Great Danes' early 10-3 lead proved to be enough of a cushion as UMBC could get no closer than two at 22-20, and the teams went to a fifth set after Albany won the fourth, 25-21.
The Great Danes looked to finish off the comeback in the fifth and staked to a 6-3 lead following a UMBC setting error. The Retrievers did not back down, though, slowly chipping away at the lead, tying the frame, and then taking the lead during a decisive 6-0 run. Albany was able to get two points back, but in the end it was Mlemchukwu's 19th kill of the night that gave the visitors their first win at Albany, 15-12.
UMBC now heads over to Binghamton to take on the Bearcats for a Saturday afternoon match at West Gymnasium at 4:00 p.m.
Dawg Bites
- After losing 13 straight matches to Albany dating from 2007-2012, UMBC has now claimed each of the last two meetings with the Great Danes.

But what is this? A Civil War marker next to it? Not if John Robison died in 1849!
Perhaps somewhere in Ohio there is another John Robison who should have this GAR marker.
a native of Scotland
Perth-shire Killin;
who died Decr 28th 1849
Aged 56 years.
A UK website promoting tourism describes Killin today:
Killin is a delightful highland village at the west end of Loch Tay in west Perthshire. It is situated beside the river Dochart close to its junction with the River Lochay and just a few hundred yards from the point at which it enters loch Tay and loses its identity to the Tay, Scotlands longest river.
Killin is the largest and oldest of the many settlements in Breadalbane—'Braghaid Albainn'—the High Country of Scotland. The name of the village comes from its association with the legendary Celtic Hero Fingal who, it is thought was buried here—'Cill Fhinn' meaning the burial place of Fingal.

Financially troubled St. Joseph Medical Center ended its search for a new owner Friday, announcing that it has entered an agreement to become part of the rapidly expanding University of Maryland Medical System.
The announcement was greeted with cheers at the Towson hospital, said Dr. Paul McAfee, head of spinal surgery.
"If the doctors in the operating room and emergency room had flowers, they would have thrown them," he said, adding that UMMS plans to upgrade the facilities and turn the hospital into a major surgery center.
St. Joseph, reeling from a scandal over unnecessary surgeries performed by one of its doctors, said in a statement Friday that parent company Catholic Health Initiatives had agreed to a recommendation from the St. Joseph board of directors to accept an offer from UMMS.
UMMS won the bidding competition over two other finalists, LifeBridge Health, which owns Sinai and Northwest hospitals, and Ascension Health, which owns St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore.
St. Joseph did not disclose financial details of the transaction and said the hospitals are still working on a final contract, which could take months to hammer out. A St. Joseph's representative did not say why it chose UMMS over the other bidders and declined to speak further about the deal while talks continue.
The hospital said Catholic Health Initiatives, as well as federal, state and church authorities, still must approve a final plan.
Former state Sen. Francis X. Kelly, a UMMS board member who worked on negotiations with St. Joseph, said the Towson hospital has a respected staff that could be made even better with more resources.
"This is a game changer in health care in Maryland," Kelly said. "This is a tremendous opportunity for two great institutions to come together to really improve the quality of health care in this state."
St. Joseph sought bidders as it coped with complaints that its star cardiologist, Dr. Mark Midei, had placed stents in the arteries of hundreds of patients who may not have needed them. The hospital notified about 600 patients in 2009 who might have had the unnecessary surgeries.
Midei was forced to resign from the hospital, and the Maryland Board of Physicians revoked his state license, although he is fighting that decision.
But the fallout at the hospital has continued as its damaged reputation led to a decline in revenue and patient admissions. St. Joseph's patient net revenue fell from $361 million in fiscal 2009 to $299 million in fiscal 2011, which ended June 30, according to the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission, which sets hospital rates in the state. (Fiscal year 2011 numbers are unaudited.) Patient admissions, meanwhile, dropped from 35,486 in 2009 to 26,942 in 2011. Doctors and other staff voluntarily left the hospital for other opportunities, and 17 people were recently laid off.
The hospital and Catholic Health Initiatives also face millions of dollars in lawsuits from many of the former patients. Catholic Health Initiatives, not UMMS, would be responsible for the liabilities under the deal.
St. Joseph had also agreed to increased federal oversight after federal accusations of a kickback scheme that resulted in a $22 million settlement and repayment of funds for questionable procedures.
McAfee said he expects St. Joseph will be able to attract new doctors and other staff with Maryland at the helm. He said that the other bidders, particularly LifeBridge, would have been good partners but that he thought UMMS had the most resources.
Under the deal with UMMS, St. Joseph's Catholic identity and religious heritage will be maintained. It is unclear what that means, but typically UMMS allows its community hospitals to operate autonomously, and Kelly said the issue over religion shouldn't be a problem.
"All of the ethical standards of the church will be upheld," Kelly said. "That won't be a problem at all."
Cardinal Edwin O'Brien must approve the sale, and in rare instances the pope has stepped in and killed hospital deals. O'Brien has said he prefers that the buyer be a Catholic hospital.
"I was disappointed to learn of the decision to sell St. Joseph Medical Center to a non-Catholic ownership group given the high priority we place on maintaining the Catholic identity of our many institutions in the Archdiocese of Baltimore," he said in a statement. "The hospital and its staff of outstanding doctors, nurses, physicians and other healthcare workers, have a special connection to the Catholic community in the Archdiocese, as well as to countless others, and I pray these ties will not be severed by today's decision."
Reproductive health conflicts sometimes make mergers between Catholic and non-Catholic hospitals controversial but do not have to derail them. Baltimore has some examples of Catholic hospitals that have merged effectively with non-Catholic affiliates. Some adopted the Catholic practices, while others didn't.
Memorial Hospital of Cumberland joined with Sacred Heart Hospital in the 1990s but continued performing sterilizations and other reproductive services. Both hospitals were eventually torn down and replaced with one hospital: Western Maryland Regional Medical System, which does not follow Catholic doctrine.
When Liberty Medical Center in West Baltimore merged with Bon Secours Baltimore Health System in the 1990s, it adopted Catholic practices.
Columbia-based MedStar Health has three Catholic institutions in its nine-hospital system. The hospitals act independently, so religious-based hospitals follow Catholic doctrines and the other affiliates follow their own rules.
LifeBridge Health had sought a partnership with St. Joseph even though some of its hospitals are Jewish institutions. LifeBridge officials thought it would help the system expand geographically.
LifeBridge spokeswoman Jill Bloom wished UMMS luck Friday. "We put our best foot forward," Bloom said. "We put a lot of work into the deal, and we would have liked to have been the one who they chose. But we're still a very strong system."
St. Agnes was the only Catholic bidder.
"St. Agnes Hospital was honored to participate in this process," spokeswoman Kirstan Cecil said. "We are confident that University of Maryland Medical Center will provide excellent leadership during this transition while continuing to provide a high level of care to the patients of the Northern Baltimore area."
St. Joseph will join a system that has been rapidly expanding over the past decade, using its reputation and strong finances to lure smaller community hospitals. The aggressive expansion has enabled UMMS, which includes its medical school, to double in size to 12 hospitals in the past six years, expanding its reach to almost every corner of the state.
With operating revenue of $2.3 billion and 15,200 employees, the system owns more Maryland hospitals than any other entity. MedStar is the next largest, with six hospitals in Maryland and three in Washington, D.C.
Robert A. Chrencik, president and CEO of UMMS, told The Balltimore Sun in December that St. Joseph's financial situation was troubling but that his system had the "medical horsepower" to turn it around.
He said it would allow the University of Maryland to move into a part of the state where it doesn't have a presence. Many Maryland graduates practice at St. Joseph, and Chrencik said Maryland's strong cardiovascular, orthopedic and cancer practices would fill voids at St. Joseph.

The Atlantic has a nifty look at century-old gadgets invented to bring baseball results to the masses as live as possible, at a time when the only options were attending a game or waiting for the evening newspaper. Or that monstrosity above.
Pictured here in 1924, the Coleman Lifelike was a sheet of painted fabric depicting a ball field. Looking carefully, you can make out the ghost-like images of players in the outfield and on the base paths. Where the magic of the Coleman happened, though, was backstage. There, a series of lights shone through the thin fabric indicate the progress and location of hits, base runners and fielders ... This was not a one man job. Several controlled the indicators, one acted as announcer. At far left, a young man sits at a teletype machine, ready to relay the action.
Later, there's creepy animatronic puppets. So go read the whole thing.

Neil Armstrong was a reluctant hero -- just like a lot of other federal employees.
You could certainly make a case that Neil Armstrong achieved a greater degree of fame -- and, quite possibly, of real accomplishment -- than any other civilian federal employee in history.
Indeed, there has been speculation that he achieved notoriety, in the form of being the first human to walk on the moon, precisely because he was a civilian at a time when the military wasn't held in as high a level of esteem as it is today. Armstrong was a rarity in the early days of the space program, in that he didn't come directly from the armed services (although he did serve in the Navy during the Korean War). He went to the moon as a civilian NASA employee, just like the engineers who made his trip possible.
If Armstrong was in fact the most famous fed, he wore the honor well -- and in exactly the way you'd expect a true public servant to act. He stayed out of the limelight, downplayed his accomplishments and credited the work of others. Above all else, Megan Garber notes today in The Atlantic, he was a "reluctant hero."
"The tension Armstrong embodied so succinctly -- publicity on the one hand, humility on the other -- is dissipating," she writes. "The humility factor is dissolving into a culture than often equates fame with power. Our current icons are less the people who have been called to duty, and more the people who have battled their way into it -- the subjects, rather than the predicates, of their own greatness. The reluctant hero is diminishing. Armstrong's passing signals an end to that myth."
But there are plenty of humble, unnoticed and generally reluctant heroes in the federal government. After all, do you know the guy who expedited the immigration process to unite Haitian children orphaned after a 2010 earthquake with their families? Or the woman who led U.S. and international efforts to deal with a potential flu pandemic? Or the man who led the Mars Rover project? (Hint: They're all federal employees, and recipients of Service to America Medals over the years.) They, and many others like them, don't seek power or publicity -- just the opportunity to make a difference.

The VVVF (Vereniging van Verf- en Drukinktfabrikanten) is the industry trade association representing the Dutch paint and printing ink manufacturers. It strives for a positive climate for this industry in the Netherlands. It does so by consulting with the Dutch government, informing its members about relevant issues, offering networking possibilities for its members, and giving a realistic view of the sector to the general audience.
The VVVF consists of 87 paint and ink producing companies, and represents 95% of the Dutch paint and ink industry.
The target audience mainly consists of people who are interested in ink and paint, and people who are interested in this sector.
Primary audience: professional and industrial buyers, government, educations and knowledge institutes, employees from the sector, and (employees of) potential members of the VVVF.
Secondary audience: active persons within the VVVF (such as existing employees of VVVF members)
The design must embody the key values of the sector, namely that it

Ledyard wrestlers cruise to Class M state title
Milford - He already wrestled what Ledyard coach Steve Bilheimer called the best match of his career, beating the top seed in an emotional 220-pound semifinal at the Class M state tournament Saturday.
Then Ben Morales, the No. 5 seed, won the championship, too.
"That kid (No. 1 seed P.J. Sawicki of Bacon Academy) placed at the State Open and went to New Englands last year," Bilheimer said. "Ben, I don't even think he's won a match (at the Open). … He wrestled him smart. I'm not a big throw guy, but he had a nice throw.
"Ben kept his composure. He wrestled him about as perfect as you could."
Morales, after beating Sawicki 12-4, won the title 4-3 over No. 7 Ryan Tharas of New Fairfield, scoring two takedowns while allowing all three of Tharas' points on escapes, highlighting Ledyard's 19th championship as a team.
The Colonels finished with 252.5 points to top Foran of Milford (153), adding to a resume which already includes more division championships than any other program in state history.
Morales was one of two champions for Ledyard, which clinched its second straight Class M title after the semifinals, when it led Avon 220.5-132.
Top-seeded Colin Grim also won a title for Ledyard at 182, beating No. 3 Dan Rodrigues of Avon 7-4 in the last match of the night.
Waterford 113-pounder Brentt Smith, the top seed, added a win, blanking No. 6 Dillon Lisk of Suffield in the final, 6-0. Waterford was ninth with 95 points, New London 12th with 76 and St. Bernard/Norwich Tech 24th with 32.
"It's been a hell of a day. It means a lot," Morales said. "There's a lot of alumni in the crowd; we want to let them know we can continue it."
"We've been able to be very competitive over a long period of time," said Bilheimer, in his 10th season. "There's other teams that have, too, but we're one of them. … It takes a lot of dedication. It's one of the harder high school sports. It takes mental toughness; you've got to keep your mind fresh."
Ledyard had six finalists, including a wave of five straight semifinal winners, beginning with 152-pounder Brandon Finney.
With 120-pounder Devon MarcAurele already in the finals, the second-seeded Finney started a Ledyard roll with a pin of No. 3 Jonah Swett of Lyman Memorial/Windham Tech in 3:38. Caile Johnson, the third seed at 160, followed with a pin of No. 2 Brandon Murphy of Stratford in 2:52.
No. 2 seed Ryan Wade edged No. 3 Trystan Cauley of Suffield 3-1 at 170 and Grim pinned No. 4 Zachary Hubler of Foran at 182, setting the stage for Morales.
Morales got off to a big lead against Sawicki and continued to build on it, despite being shaken up briefly when he landed hard out of bounds.
After the finals, Morales came off the mat into the embrace of his brother Nick, who reached the state finals in 2007.
"He was strong. He had great upper body strength," Morales said of his championship round opponent. "My coaches told me before he likes to get inside legs and shoot low. I like to stay on my feet, so (letting him escape) was defense. … It's a great feeling."
MarcAurele was the runnerup to No. 3 Taylor Shay of New Fairfield 7-1.
Finney was second to top-seeded Clay Callahan of Foran, falling 6-0.
Johnson was pinned in the second period, finishing second to No. 1 Mikey Amorando of New Fairfield.
Wade was pinned in the first period of the finals, falling to top-seeded Joe Murphy of Avon.
"They're gamers, they work hard," said Bilheimer of what he likes about this team, which will compete in the State Open next weekend at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven. "They push themselves, they enjoy the sport of wrestling. I want my kids to have fun, but not be overly animated."
As for Waterford's Smith, he had been looking forward to a tough Eastern Connecticut Conference tournament - he's lost in the past to East Lyme's Kareem Small - before that tournament was canceled due to the recent blizzard.
Smith, the top seed, won his first match by pin in 18 seconds and took his quarterfinal 18-6 before pinning Jacob Pouliot of Foran in 1:53 in the semifinals.
"It was huge," Smith, a junior who is 35-4, said of the title. "I finished third here last year (at 106) and I worked hard all summer to get here."

JBT Beats on the Top and Bottom Line
Food processing and air transportation technology provider JBT reported third-quarter results today after the markets closed, showing that it posted net revenues of $233.5 million, a robust 14% increase from the $205.3 million in the same period in the previous year, and well ahead of the $222.8 million Capital IQ consensus estimate.
Adjusted net income came in at $7.4 million, or $0.27 per share, up 19% from $6.2 million, or $0.19 per share, in the same period in 2012. It was $0.02 per share better than the CapIQ estimates of $0.25 per share.
JBT benefited from strong new equipment sales and higher recurring revenue in both its food and aerospace divisions, but as a higher proportion of revenue came from lower-margin product lines in the quarter, gross margins declined this quarter.
The technology specialist is expecting mid-to-high single-digit percentage growth in its food tech business revenues and low-single-digit percentage revenue growth in air transportation. It lowered its earnings guidance for continuing operations, however, to a range of $1.26 to $1.32 per share from $1.32 to $1.40 per share as a result of incremental management succession plan related expenses and net losses incurred on foreign currency positions this quarter.
Shares of JBT closed trading today down 1.1%, or $0.30, to $27.29.

With the inclusion of the much-binged on Netflix original series "House of Cards" to Sunday's Primetime Emmy Awards nominations list, the stage has been set for a showdown never before witnessed at the annual television love fest.
The addition of the Internet-based streaming provider means a third contender has now been added to what was previously a two horse race for viewing supremacy: the major free-to-air broadcasters (NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox and PBS) versus the cable networks (HBO, Showtime, AMC, FX et al.).
If that's not enough to have viewers tuning in to see host Neil Patrick Harris ably shepherd winners, losers and special segments across the stage at the Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles Sunday, there's also slew of highly-contested categories that may see past Emmy records tumbling when the envelopes are finally prised open.
An outstanding drama series win for "Mad Men," which recently ended its penultimate season on AMC amid griping from fans and critics over its darker than usual tone, would be a record-setting fifth, granting the show more trophies than other series in this category in Emmy history. The 1960s-set drama currently sits alongside fellow four-time winners "Hill Street Blues," ''L.A. Law" and "The West Wing."
But if Netflix's "House of Cards" takes the drama series Emmy it will be the first to do so without the aid of a traditional TV set. The limited-episode series chronicling the voracious ambition of a Washington D.C. power couple played by Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright garnered nine nominations in total, including acting nods for both leads.
It's certainly not a shoe-in for "House of Cards" or "Mad Men" (12 nominations in total). They face stiff competition from fellow nominees "Breaking Bad" (13 nominations), "Downton Abbey" (12), "Game of Thrones" (17) and last year's winner "Homeland" (11).
"Homeland" is also the series to beat in the dramatic acting categories with the show's leads Claire Danes and Damian Lewis both winning in 2012. This year Danes is up against Wright, Connie Britton ("Nashville"), Elisabeth Moss ("Mad Men"), Michelle Dockery ("Downton Abbey"), Vera Farmiga ("Bates Motel") and Kerry Washington ("Scandal").
For Washington, a win would be one for the record books: Washington would be the first African-American winner for best actress in a drama. Cicely Tyson was the last African-American nominee for her role in 1995's "Sweet Justice."
Lewis will compete with Spacey, Hugh Bonneville ("Downton Abbey"), Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad"), Jeff Daniels ("The Newsroom") and Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"). It's the sixth nomination in this category for always-the-bridesmaid Hamm, who is yet to win for his portrayal of "Mad Men's" mercurial, philandering ad-man Don Draper.
Already a three-time Emmy winner in the category for his portrayal of meth-maestro Walter White in the AMC's "Breaking Bad," another win for Cranston would place him on the top rung beside "Hill Street Blue's" Dennis Franz, currently the only actor to have achieved four trophies.
Aiming to have the last laughs in the comedy races are "Veep's" Julia Louis-Dreyfus and "30 Rock."
The beloved TV show about the behind-the-scenes goings-on at a not-so-beloved TV show, NBC's "30 Rock" is up for outstanding comedy series (it has won the category three times in the past) having ended a successful seven season run in January. Among its 13 nominations Sunday are nods to Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin (lead acting in comedy series), Jane Krakowski (supporting actress/comedy) and Elaine Stritch (guest actress/comedy).
Trying to keep "30 Rock" from a comedy series win are ABC's "Modern Family" (coming off three consecutive wins in this category and holding 12 nominations in total), CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" (8 nominations and currently the most-watched comedy in the world), FX's "Louis" (6), HBO's much-discussed "Girls" (5) and "Veep" (5).
A win for "Modern Family" would place it alongside four-time winners "All in the Family" and "Cheers." The only program to go one higher is "Frazier," which recorded five wins during its 11 season run.
With a lead actress in a comedy nod for her portrayal of Vice President Selena Gomez on "Veep," Louis-Dreyfus matched Lucille Ball's 14 career Emmy nominations. Louis-Dreyfus has now been nominated twice for "Veep" (one win), seven times for "Seinfeld" (one win) and five for "The New Adventures of Old Christine" (one win).
Competition will be fierce for Louis-Dreyfus, who'll compete with "Enlightened's" Laura Dern, Lena Dunham of "Girls," "Nurse Jackie's" Edie Falco, Amy Poehler of "Parks and Recreation" and "30 Rock" favorite Tina Fey. If you take notice of the pundits, it may just be fourth-time lucky for Louis-Dreyfus.
"30 Rock" star and new talk-show host Alec Baldwin is once again nominated for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series. A win Sunday will be the third for Baldwin in this category. Also nominated are "Arrested Development's" Jason Bateman, Louis C.K. of "Louis," "The Big Bang Theory's" Jim Parsons, "House of Lies'" Jon Cheadle, and Matt LeBlanc for "Episodes." Last year's winner, "Two and a Half Men's" Jon Cryer, was not nominated.
Hoping to knock "The Amazing Race" off the outstanding reality-competition series pedestal (the global phenomenon from CBS has won the category nine times since 2001) is "The Voice."
NBC's hit talent show with the big red chairs and superstar vocal coaches is a ratings winner but must out-groove ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" and Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," unstitch "Project Runway" from Lifetime, ensure Bravo's "Top Chef" remains undercooked, and ultimately outpace "The Amazing Race" to win the Emmy.
The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards will air live on Sunday Sept. 22 at 8e/5p on CBS.

'No Place on Earth': A real-life drama revisited
The documentary "No Place on Earth" doesn't seem like it should work quite as well as it does. A History Channel production, the tale of Ukrainian Jews who survived in underground caves for 511 days while hiding from the Nazis during World War II is structured around lengthy, foreign-language re-enactments of the events featuring costumed performers.
Why not just commit to the undeniably thrilling theatricality of the story and make a fictionalized dramatic feature? Instead, Emmy-winning documentarian Janet Tobias ("Life 360") mixes dimly-lit historical stagings with more traditional interviews with survivors. Narration by Chris Nicola, the American spelunker who accidentally found signs of habitation in the caves in 1993, opens the film.
It's a surprisingly effective and moving way of doing things. The reason probably has less to do with the power of the acting, which is more than serviceable, than with the mind-boggling nature of the feat itself. Living in a cave for a month, let alone for a year and a half, seems almost unendurable.
Factor in the fugitives' discovery by the Gestapo, and their subsequent relocation to a second cave after paying off the local police -- who nevertheless shoot a couple of them -- and you've got a real-life adventure to rival any scripted drama.
It also helps that "No Place on Earth" pulls a "Schindler's List" move at the end, bringing the actual survivors -- who have been portrayed by actors throughout the film -- back to visit the caves at the film's conclusion. Like Spielberg's fact-based drama, which ended with several of "Schindler's Jews" placing stones on Oskar Schindler's grave, "No Place on Earth" reunites the tormented with their savior.
In this case, it is not a person, but a hiding place. Or rather, as the name of the film suggests, the absence of place, in a world in which they suddenly were not welcome.
"No Place on Earth" stirs the emotions as we watch the survivors and their young descendants unearth and then rebury -- almost literally -- the memories they have kept hidden and the miracle that kept those memories alive.
Two and a half stars. PG-13. Contains disturbing thematic material and brief violence. 84 minutes.
Ratings Guide: Four stars masterpiece, three stars very good, two stars okay, one star poor, no stars waste of time.

The new manufacturing workforce enabled by Cisco Unified Access
My eldest nephew is a recent college graduate. He lives in Boston and walks to work, which is less than 2 miles from his apartment. When I was his age, I commuted fifty miles in bumper-to-bumper traffic to get to work (uphill, both ways)!
Young, skilled workers who want to live, work and socialize locally are pushing companies to locate in cities. Many employers are accommodating the hiring demands of the new workforce, as a means to recruit and retain new talent.
An estimated 10 million manufacturing jobs are currently unfilled due to a growing skills gap. As the talent pool shrinks, companies are paying close attention to what the next generation of skilled workers wants – all with the end goal of employing, retaining and keeping workers away from the competition.
Watch the video that I refer to later in the blog
An undeniable truth is that these young workers, and most of their not-so-young co-workers, want the freedom to use their own personal smartphones and tablets at work. And more than ever, they want to use them from anywhere, even when they're on the move. This mobile BYOD desire is causing an avalanche of new devices (15 billion by 2015), applications and cloud-based services.
Business and IT leaders are paying attention. A May 2012 Cisco IBSG Horizons Study reveals that IT is saying yes to BYOD. A whopping 95% of respondents say their organizations permit employee-owned devices in some way, shape or form in the workplace. Have a look at Peter Granger's blog to learn about how manufacturers are implementing BYOD.
Working according to our own terms does present a variety of new business and IT infrastructure challenges. And thanks to Cisco Unified Access, employers can safely accommodate the demands of the new workforce, and enhance their own business productivity in the process.
The new workforce's insistence on working their way may not only change the way we do business; it just might ease that bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic!
