The Train with Energy package also includes a training tech t-shirt, as well as discounts on up to five Energy Events races.
It does feel like a lot of money. And to be honest, I didn't think I needed a coach when I was training for the 2014 Vancouver USA Marathon--after all, I had done three other marathons without a coach. But after working with Ron to better understand the program, I was hooked. I felt more confident about my training, I PR'd by almost 30 minutes, and I recovered much faster than I had after my other marathons! The quality of the coaching is definitely worth the price.
Just the training itself, it comes out to $23/month for the full marathon training program, and $30/month for the half marathon training program. That's just a few lattes a month! It's not that expensive considering you'll someone who will help you prepare for a marathon or a half marathon, and will hold you accountable for your training--and that's not even looking at the other perks (shirt, discounts, etc)!

This Wiki Article discusses an alleged practice of Comcast using Sandvine hardware that sends forged RST packets to knock down BitTorrent connections.
Much Linux open source, such as PC Linux OS and free software uses BitTorrent as it's preferred or exclusive form of distribution.
Those of you who are running Windows XP and looking for a replacement, since Microsoft is no longer supporting it, might want to consider this.
At any rate, if you're finding yourself unable to download a Torrent because of Comcast or other providers policies, we provide a work around for this.
If you setup one of the remote desktop clients we support such as x2go, OpenNX, NX, or VNC (tunneled through ssh), you can use qbittorrent on our server: Applications->Internet->qBittorrent
To download an image as large as a Linux distribution, you will need a power shell here (provides 10GB, PC Linux OS is about 3.7GB).
After downloading it to your shell space here, you can then use FTP to FTP the ISO from your shell space here to your home computer, and then use a disk burning utility such as Nero to burn an install disk.
I do require that you limit your use of BitTorrent here to legal materials, that do not seed pirated or otherwise illegal material, and that you be reasonable on your overall bandwidth consumption.
I don't subscribe to the theory that because something can be used illegally, that it should be broadly banned. Telephones are used to plan bank robberies and drug deals, but there are also legitimate uses for phones so we don't ban them. It should be the same for Torrents which are just another communications media.

PARIS, June 3 (UPI) -- Aviation authorities said an Air France Buenos Aires-to-Paris flight was was grounded temporarily because of a bomb threat that turned out to be false.
Officials at Buenos Aires' Ezeiza International Airport delayed an Air France flight from the Argentine city to Paris May 27 after the bomb threat was called in, The Daily Mail reported Wednesday.
Federal police and airport safety officers inspected the plane and cleared it for take-off, Argentine media reported. The search lasted about 90 minutes, and passengers were not evacuated from the aircraft.
Air France Flight 447, with 216 passengers and 12 crew members, went off radar about three hours after departing Rio de Janeiro for Paris Monday. French investigators said wreckage presumably from the plane was found in the Atlantic off the northeastern coast of Brazil.

For those keeping score, Apple had only one computing product left in its lineup that wasn't multitouch-oriented: its desktop Macs. Not anymore. With the introduction of the Magic Trackpad, Apple has brought its multitouch-enabled clickpad from the MacBook Pro over to the desktop world in the form of a large, square, aluminum-and-glass Bluetooth peripheral. At $69, the Magic Trackpad isn't cheap, nor is it a solution for professional artists, like Wacom tablets are. It works as intended on the desktop, as an easy-to-use large multitouch trackpad, providing a viable alternative or companion device to the ever-reliable mouse. For those of you who've connected your Mac Mini to a TV, the Trackpad could also be compelling as a living-room controller. However, in neither case is the Magic Trackpad a revolutionary input solution. We recommend it primarily to those interested in experimenting with touch-based desktop input.
At first sight, the Magic Trackpad's minimalism can almost be off-putting. You'll find no icons, logos, or buttons–just a smooth, edge-to-edge pad with a thin seam at the top delineating the end of the glass trackpad surface. The Magic Trackpad rests simply at an elevated angle, just like Apple's Bluetooth keyboard that is prepackaged with all iMacs. Side by side, the keyboard and trackpad line up flush to look like a single keyboard-and-trackpad unit. There's also plenty of room for anyone's fingers; it's 80 percent larger than the already-spacious MacBook Pro trackpad. Laid out on a desk, the Trackpad cuts a very attractive and clean profile.
The Magic Trackpad pairs the same way that other Bluetooth Apple devices do, although a trackpad-specific software update is required to enable full multitouch support and customization. Though the wording on the box claims a Mac is necessary, we successfully paired the Magic Trackpad with a Windows PC. Unfortunately, Windows functionality is limited to single-touch and click functions only–we couldn't get multitouch settings such as pinch-to-zoom and tap-to-click to work on the Magic Trackpad. A Windows support download from Apple wouldn't install on a Windows PC, and is intended for Boot Camp users running Windows on their Macs.
Like the Bluetooth keyboard, a cylindrical AA-battery compartment is tucked into the top edge, accessible through the side. The Magic Trackpad comes with a pair of standard AAs, but can also use rechargeable batteries. A recessed silver button on one side powers on the Trackpad and initiates Bluetooth pairing, also identical to the keyboard.
You can customize multitouch on the Magic Trackpad via a software update available to all Macs running 10.6.4 or later. A new Trackpad control panel toggles and tweaks features including tap-to-click and scroll speed, although the features cleave closely to ones already familiar to the touch language of MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Beyond shifting the secondary click from left to right and turning on/off inertial scrolling, there aren't really any ways of customizing other click zones or custom multitouch commands.
If there's one hardware drawback to the Magic Trackpad, it's that the physical click function, enabled by seamless buttons concealed on the two near-side corners, only works when you use the device on a hard surface, such as on the top of a desk. Because the click travels through the bottom two rubber feet, not via the pad itself, holding the Magic Trackpad in your lap renders it clickless. There is a solution: enabling tap-to-click on the Magic Trackpad software preferences takes care of this, and we frankly like using tap-to-click better than physical clicking anyway.
The feel of the Magic Trackpad as a desktop tool is comfortable and ergonomic. Our hand rested comfortably on the Trackpad's incline, and its size made touch control easy without causing hand cramps. Sliding your finger across the pad sometimes takes more motion than we'd prefer, not unlike on a laptop touch pad, but you can tweak the scroll speed in the software preferences to fit your taste.

Tool for everything
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
What I like about this tool is it can do everything with 4 stars. Whether mountaineering, dry (maybe 3 stars here) or waterfalls it does good. It is light weight and stiff which helps reduce vibrations in my opinion.
I also like how BD has so many different options on rear. I don't like to climb waterfalls with adze because I feel if the axe hits my head or body it would be better without but if alpine that thing is huge and you can get multiple size adzes and hammers. Easy to switch also comes with a little tool.
Takes a tool to know a tool!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Well, if I were to use this particular Ice Tool myself, it'd probably just be for opening beers in a pinch. I purchased this as a wedding gift for a buddy of mine. The choice was at his request, not mine. I know nothing about ice tools, but my buddy's a professional mountain guide, so I'd say that says something, right?! Disclaimer: he's not actually a tool!
Why waste the time when there's Nomics
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
After climbing on Fusions for a while- I bought Cobras last season- and climbed some easy 3's...seemed great. Then climbed some 4/5"s and had to deal with the picks seemingly wanting to pop when I was pulling up on them.
A friend who's a well respected /climber & guide- told me to try his nomics instead- night and day. The Cobra rocks the pick up and outward when it sets...the Nomic locks in. He had Cobra's as well- and switched to Nomics.
I sold them the very next day..... and picked up Nomics on the way home. As the Most expensive axe in the store- not worth the time for me, when the Nomic is so much better on steep ice.
I'd at least recommend renting/trying both before committing 300 plus.
The geometry of Cobras seems to make them more suitable for lower grade ice and alpine routes, where Nomics may be too aggressive on those grades. I mostly use Nomics for what I climb (WI4-+), but I think your low rating of Cobras is a bit unfair - they really excel at what they were designed for.
Light and Snappy Tool
Holly heading up the Candle Stick.
good climbers...
make anything work
Smooth swing on steep ice
The Cobras are a versatile ice tool excelling at steep ice and alpine routes.
WOW! where is this?
Cleanest blue ice i've ever seen. definitely not New England.
The photo is from the second pitch of Automatic Control Theory (WI5+) in Santaquin, Utah.
Bomber Tools
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these tools. They are SUPER durable yet light. Always stick super well with a light swing. You can't go wrong with Black Diamond.
Mixed Climbing at Pictured Rocks
I'm working there this Summer!!!
Fun times in Ouray
Pick of the Vick!
Cobra Ice Tool
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These have been out for a bit but they still rock. Light to swing and solid sticks. Easy to change the picks in the field. Hole in the spike clips well to a tether. Hole in the head allows you to clip them to your harness for raps or low angle walking.
freaking awesome
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The most important though is with complete shoulder construction, I can swing these like they were part of me. Awesome stick, light weight, well balanced, I am ordering the head weights from blackdiamond. These are without a doubt the best all-round tool i have used!!! They are not a technical tool, but are made or 85% or more of what you will be doing. I have heard complaints of rocking, but if you utilize the light weight and perform a full extension, no issues. I just did a little inverted work with them and they did well.
Light tool
I've owned Prophets, the previous Cobras, and the new Cobras. They are great for mixed and hooking; however, they are less than stellar on pure steep ice-- due in part to their lightweight. Their big curve helps protect the knuckles and makes hooking mushrooms a breeze. Greatly improved over the previous version is the grip, its much thinner and easier to hold. Also good are the fangs for matching.
On the downside, their lightweight can make it more difficult to get a good stick-- especially in really hard ice (and vertical). Adding the heaver adze or hammer doesn't help much since the weight is behind the pick which makes the head flop side to side if you are not dead center on your swing.
Finally, if you climb leash-less but have the leash attachment on the tool the webbing will wear fairly quickly (due to the metal part swinging up and down). I had to retire the leash attachment after 1 season, no big loss since I don't use it and probably not an issue if you actually use the leash.
Ultimately, they are great tools and many people love them (I Like them a lot).
Carbon fiber being put to use.
Frank! Nice swing haha
with some many pieces of ice climbing gear simply clkned by the competitors, Quark or Nomic come to mind, the Cobra upped the game by adding a carbon fiber shaft. Tested in every mtn rnage and on hard ice as well as hard mixed. It is simply a great tool.
Had a chance to try these last year on a training day on ice and was hooked from the first swing and ended up getting them just recently. Weight is always and issue, in the pack but you like some for setting the tool, which these still have that feel. By no means am I an expert or pro but like to use high end equipment and these are as good as it gets. Using these mostly for mountaineering so the curve is not the best for plunging into snow, crabbing works well while ascending. I remove the hand clips yet carry them with me for times Ice will be encountered. Shaft is slippery so I added some skateboard grip tape on for grip after seeing a friend use it, good idea! Lightness means less fatigue!
Great great and great. This axe one of the best on the market. Its versatility is awesome. Its super stiff, yet light and has a great feel to it throw a leash on it and you'll feel as secure as possible.
light and fast
these are sweet tools, they are so light you can swing them all day with half of the pump, the handle angle seems to be perfect to me on steep and low angle ice and rock, the pinky locks come in very handy to help relieve your grip. the carbon is so nice dampening the bows although it takes away a bit of sensitivity. love these tools but they dont come cheep
hialight canyon
some mixed climbing in montana
hyalite canyon http://hyalitecanyon.blogspot.com/
The best pure ice tool I have ever used. Light with a perfect swing weight. Just flick and go. The carbon shafts absorb any shock nicely. Just a joy to climb with. Great alpine tool since it is so light. I have climbed a bit of mixed with this tool and was perfectly happy with the performance, but if you are looking to send m10 and above you might want to look at the BD fusion.
Religious Following
I'm not exactly an ice ninja, but I do know that this is the best tool I have ever used. And it seems like this tool has a religious following for a good reason. They swing like a dream, with the right balance of heavy enough to get a good stick, but light enough to not tire your arms out over a long day, and you can mix climb pretty hard in them. The carbon fiber is AWESOME, and dampens the vibration to your hands. In technical terms this ice tool is the SHIZNIT!!!
So I realize that when you're spending...
So I realize that when you're spending $300, the extra $36 isn't that much, but are these any better than Petzl's Nomics? I hear BD pick quality isn't that high compared to Petzl, the Nomics have modularity, and there really isn't any weight savings. Thoughts?
Depends on what your doing with them. On ice they both work well, the nomics require a different swing, more wrist action to set the pick, while the cobras are more of a standard swing. For pure ice the cobras are the way to go, especially when its fresh. For mixed/drytooling or climbs that are hacked out already (like Vail or the ice park)the nomics might have the edge, but they both perform well on most every type of climb. It mostly comes down to how you use them. As for the picks, the new BD picks work great, they get stuck less and haven't broken any this season.
Keep in mind that the Cobras come with a "B" rated pick which is thinner than the "T" rated picks that the Petzl's come with which are thicker (in addition the shape is slightly different too). So when you hear that Petzl picks are more durable/better/whatever, you are comparing different rated picks. Get the "T" picks for your BD and you'll find them just as good. That being said the "B" rated picks go into ice better and typically don't get as stuck as the "T" picks
Do they include android leash or is it an...
Do they include android leash or is it an option?
You have to buy the leashes separate.

Cyprus Overview: History
Excavations have proved the existence of a Neolithic culture on Cyprus in the period from 6000 BC to 3000 BC; the earliest known settlement dates to the 10th millennium BC Contact with the Middle East and, after 1500 BC, with Greece greatly influenced Cypriot civilization. Phoenicians settled on the island c.800 BC Cyprus subsequently fell under Assyrian, Egyptian, and Persian rule. Alexander the Great conquered it in 333 BC, after which the island again became an Egyptian dependency until its annexation by Rome in 58 BC Ancient Cyprus was a center of the cult of Aphrodite.
After AD 395, Cyprus was ruled by the Byzantines until 1191, when Richard I of England conquered it. In 1192, Richard bestowed the island on Guy of Lusignan . In 1489, Cyprus was annexed by Venice. The Turks conquered it in 1571. At the Congress of Berlin (1878) the Ottoman Empire placed Cyprus under British administration, and in 1914, Britain annexed it outright.
Under British rule the movement among the Greek Cypriot population for union ( enosis ) with Greece was a constant source of tension. In 1955 a Greek Cypriot organization (EOKA), led by Col. George Grivas, launched a campaign of widespread terrorism. Tension and terror mounted, especially after British authorities deported (1956) Makarios III , the spokesman for the Greek Cypriot nationalists. The conflict was aggravated by Turkish support of Turkish Cypriot demands for partition of the island. Negotiations (1955) among Britain, Greece, and Turkey on the status of Cyprus broke down completely. Finally in 1959, a settlement was reached, providing for Cypriot independence in 1960 and for the terms of the constitution. Treaties precluded both enosis and partition. Makarios was elected president in 1959 and reelected in 1968 and 1973.
In 1961, Cyprus joined the Commonwealth of Nations and the United Nations. Large-scale fighting between Greek and Turkish Cypriots erupted several times in the 1960s, and a UN peacekeeping force was sent in 1965. In Mar., 1970, there was an attempt on Makarios's life by radical Greek Cypriots. The government was also fearful of a possible coup led by Grivas, who favored enosis. Turkish Cypriots demanded official recognition of their organization (which exercised de facto political control in the 30 Turkish enclaves) and the stationing of Turkish troops on the island to offset the influence of the Cypriot national guard, which was dominated by officers from Greece. Greek Cypriots interpreted the proposal as amounting to partition. Acts of violence against the government increased and were met in 1973 by an effort to suppress the guerrillas by the national police force (which had been created by Makarios to counter the national guard). Grivas died in Jan., 1974, and although EOKA was split between hard-liners and moderates, it continued to be dominated by Greek officers.
On July 15, 1974, following a large-scale national police assault on EOKA, the Makarios government was overthrown by the national guard. Nikos Sampson, a Greek Cypriot newspaper publisher, acceded to the presidency and Makarios fled the country. Both Greece and Turkey mobilized their armed forces. Citing its obligation to protect the Turkish Cypriot community, Turkey invaded (July 20) N Cyprus, occupied over 30% of the island, and displaced about 200,000 Greek Cypriots. The invasion precipitated the fall of the military regime in Athens and also resulted in the resignation of Sampson. He was replaced by Glafkos Clerides , the conservative Greek Cypriot president of the house of representatives.
A UN-sponsored cease-fire was arranged on July 22, and Turkey was permitted to retain military forces in the areas it had captured. Makarios was returned to office in Dec., 1974. In 1975 the island was partitioned into Greek and Turkish territories separated by a UN-occupied buffer zone. Makarios remained president until his death in 1977 and was succeeded by Spyros Kyprianou (1977–88). In 1983, Turkish Cypriots declared themselves independent from the Cypriot state; the resulting Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, with Rauf Denktash as president, was recognized only by Turkey. Negotiations to end the division of the country continued intermittently and inconclusively in the subsequent decades.
George Vassiliou, a leftist, defeated Clerides in the presidential elections of 1988, but Clerides was elected president in 1993 and again in 1998. By the late 1990s it was estimated that over half the population of Turkish Cyprus consisted of recent settlers from Turkey. In 1998, Cyprus began membership talks with the European Union (EU), a move that was bitterly opposed by Turkish Cypriots, and Turkey insisted on a political settlement for the island prior to its joining the EU. Denktash was elected to his fourth term as president in 2000, but Clerides lost his bid for a third consecutive term in 2003, losing to Tassos Papadopoulos of the Democratic party.
In Apr., 2003, long-standing Turkish Cypriot restrictions on cross-border travel were eased, and the Greek south ended a ban on trade with the north. The United Nations sponsored renewed negotiations to reunify the island, and an accord establishing a federation was reached in 2004, but failed to win approval in a referendum in April. Although Turkish Cypriot voters approved the accord, the Greek population rejected it. Turkish approval of the accord, however, did result in many nations, including S Cyprus, ending or reducing the economic embargo the north had been under since the Turkish invasion.
Cyprus joined the European Union in 2004, but the north was excluded due to the failure of the referendum in the south. The Turkish Cypriot government subsequently fell, but elections (Feb., 2005) returned the government to power. In April, Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Talat was elected to succeed Denktash as Turkish Cypriot president. Cyprus adopted the euro in Jan., 2008. In Feb., 2008, Demetris Christofias , the AKEL (Communist) party candidate, was elected president of Cyprus after a runoff; Papadopoulos was eliminated in the first round. Subsequently, Greek and Turkish Cypriots agreed to restart reunification talks, which began in Sept., 2008. Slow progress, however, led to popular dissatisfaction in the north, and in 2010 the nationalist candidate, Derviş Eroğlu, defeated Talat to win the Turkish Cypriot presidency. In subsequent years, reunification talks sometimes experienced prolonged interruptions.
In June, 2012, the government of Cyprus announced plans to seek loans from the eurozone bailout funds because of the country's exposure to the Greek economy, but a rescue plan, involving some

Football Boots for Boys

Has Katy Perry finally curbed John Mayer's playboy ways? The 35-year-old singer has a reputation as a heartless womanizer who's eft a string of unhappy and embarassed ex-girlfriends in his wake, from Jennifer Aniston to to the perpetually bitter Taylor Swift. Remember when he called Jessica Simpson "sexual napalm" and "crack cocaine" in a 2010 interview with Playboy?
But just last month he told Rolling Stone he was "quite happy" in his relationship with Perry, after appearing with her at President Barack Obama's inauguration. And now he's coming clean about his not-so-stellar behavior in previous relationships.
"I was just a jerk," Mayer admitted in an upcoming episode of CBS' "Sunday Morning," according to the Los Angeles Times.
"It's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you," Mayer told CBS' Anthony Mason. I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction."
Mason's interview with Mayer airs on "CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood" on Sunday, Feb. 10.

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — A museum in France is assisting the Counting House Museum's fundraiser by providing a six-day stay for two on the grounds of its 900-year-old chateau, located four miles from Cannes. The accommodations will be auctioned at the upcoming Counting House benefit.
"We are so fortunate to be able to offer this fabulous vacation stay to benefit a local history museum," said organizer Vicky Whitney of the Old Berwick Historical Society based in South Berwick Maine.
The five-night stay at Château de La Napoule will be auctioned at the society's 1960s Dance to be held Saturday, Nov. 3 at the American Legion in Rollinsford, N.H., starting at 7:30 p.m. Valued at $3,500, the vacation stay will be auctioned live, and there is a minimum bid of $1,500.
Absentee bidding is available by calling 603-828-4169 or writing email@example.com.
Dozens of other items will be offered at a silent auction at the event as well.
The La Napoule Foundation operates an artists' residency program at the Château de La Napoule, where exhibitions, readings, concerts, performances, seminars and conferences are held throughout the year.
The private museum compound is the former castle of early 20th century American sculptor, Henry Clews, and his architect wife, Marie. Not far from the site of the famed Cannes Film Festival, the Chateau overlooks the Mediterranean Sea.
The Château de La Napoule (circa 1100) is located in the historic seaside town of Mandelieu-La Napoule, France. There are shops, restaurants, bus and train service, all available just a few steps from the front gate of the chateau.
The 1960s Dance and Silent Auction is being held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the society's Counting House Museum. Run by volunteers, the museum welcomes visitors on weekend afternoons from July through October, and year-round by appointment. The fundraiser supports a year-round program of history events for all ages.
"Good vibrations are in store for all," said Whitney. "There will be lots of '60s memorabilia and of course great music. Everyone is invited to enjoy hors d'oeuvres and plenty of friends."
Tickets are $37 in advance and can be purchased online at www.oldberwick.org or at South Berwick Pharmacy, the Counting House and at all the historical society events. Or contact Nicole at firstname.lastname@example.com or 603-534-4889; or Ginny at firstname.lastname@example.com or 207-384-4039.
Accommodations at the Chateau de la Napoule are offered in the historic Italianate Villa Marguerite, former home of the Austrian Princess of Pless, located just across the street from the Chateau. Rooms are simply furnished, some with antiques. All have private baths. The winning couple will enjoy superb views and breezes from the Mediterranean Sea on their private balcony. Continental breakfast on the terrace or in the Gothic Dining Room of the Chateau is included, provided those spaces are not reserved for another event.
The winners can stroll the six-acre gardens of the Chateau or enjoy the seaside terraces. Exiting the centuries old front portal, they can take the train to Monte Carlo, shop the boutiques of Nice, or relax in the hilltop, walled villages of the feudal era (now studios of local artists and craftsmen). Museums abound in the area: the Matisse, Picasso, Chagall, Leger and Maeght Foundation, are just a few.
A local watercraft can transport visitors to the Iles de Lerin for picnic or cafe lunch. They can sightsee the historic monastery on Ile St. Margeurite or the fortress where the Man with the Iron Mask was imprisoned.
The touring day can end with a relaxing swim in the Mediterranean and a glass of wine at sunset from the room's private balcony.

Hey, Maharaja!
Good morning campers! It's music day today.
As I was fiddling around with a few ideas for the next post here and the next one on Suicide Girls, I started listening to some old Dimentia 13 music. Dimentia 13 was a band I had in the 80's that released five albums on Midnight Records. Around the turn of the century I recorded a double CD worth of new Dimentia 13 material. Throughout its history the "band" was often just me, though I did perform live for a few years there with a real group. The ever changing line-up once included Dave Swanson of Guided By Voices and Rainy Day Saints and, of course, my bestest friend since 7th grade, Joe Nlolflzlilglelrl.
So I picked out two songs to share here this morning. The first is from that double CD I made around the year 2000. This track started off being a demo of me noodling on the electric sitar over which I overdubbed a bunch of other stuff with the intention of doing it over "properly." I did do it over, but the done-over version sounded a bit too proper. So I scrapped it and deemed this messy version the keeper. Somehow it seems the right feel for today (click on the title to hear it):
Hey, Maharaja!
The next offering is from a cassette dated March 25, 1987. Since it's just about to celebrate its 20th birthday I thought it was time to dust it off again. This was recorded at my apartment with a fat plastic Buddha sitting on the table smiling at me as I was playing. I wrote and recorded a lot of stuff like this that I never put on the Dimentia 13 records. I often wish I had because if I'd done so maybe when Beck started doing the same kind of thing about six years later I could've said "Hey, man, I did that!" and been really self righteous and bitter (click on the title and listen up).

Jeffrey D. Sachs is the Director of The Earth Institute, Quetelet Professor of Sustainable Development, and Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University. He is Special Advisor to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the Millennium Development Goals, having held the same position under former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. He is Director of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network. He is co-founder and Chief Strategist of Millennium Promise Alliance, and is director of the Millennium Villages Project. Sachs is also one of the Secretary-General's MDG Advocates, and a Commissioner of the ITU/UNESCO Broadband Commission for Development. He has authored three New York Times bestsellers in the past seven years: The End of Poverty (2005), Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet (2008), and The Price of Civilization (2011). His most recent book is To Move the World: JFK's Quest for Peace (2013).
Professor Sachs is widely considered to be the world's leading expert on economic development and the fight against poverty. His work on ending poverty, promoting economic growth, fighting hunger and disease, and promoting sustainable environmental practices, has taken him to more than 125 countries with more than 90 percent of the world's population. For more than a quarter century he has advised dozens of heads of state and governments on economic strategy, in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. He also advised Pope John Paul II on the encyclical Centesimus Annus. He works closely with international organizations including the African Union, the Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the African Development Bank, the Islamic Development Bank, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Development Programme, the World Food Programme, UNAIDS, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria, among others.
Professor Sachs' work has been pivotal in many of the key junctures of globalization during the past thirty years. In the 1980s he helped several Latin American countries including Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru to end hyperinflations and renegotiate their external debts. He was the leading academic advocate in the United States for reducing the debt overhang of the developing countries and his ideas were incorporated in the global debt-reduction plans undertaken from the mid-1980s onward, including the Brady Plan and the HIPC Program.
In 1989, Professor Sachs advised Poland's anti-communist Solidarity movement and the first post-communist Government of Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki. He wrote the first-ever comprehensive plan for the transition from central planning to a market democracy, which became incorporated into Poland's highly successful reform program led by Finance Minister Leszek Balcerowicz. Professor Sachs was the main architect of Poland's successful debt reduction operation. The Government of Poland awarded Sachs with one of its highest honors in 1999, the Commanders Cross of the Order of Merit. He also received an honorary doctorate from the Cracow University of Economics.
Sachs's ideas and methods of transition from central planning were successfully adopted throughout the transition economies. He helped Slovenia (1991) and Estonia (1992) to introduce new stable and convertible currencies. Based on Poland's success, he was invited first by Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and then by Russian President Boris Yeltsin on the transition to a market economy. He served as advisor to Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar and Finance Minister Boris Federov during 1991-93 on macroeconomic policies. He received the Leontief Medal of the Leontief Centre, St. Petersburg, for his contributions to Russia's economic reforms.
From the mid-1990s till today, Prof. Sachs has been involved with economic reforms in many parts of Asia, including India and China. He has been a senior advisor to the Indian Government, most recently on the scaling up of primary health care in rural areas (the National Rural Health Mission), a policy that he recommended and helped to promote through the Indian Commission on Macroeconomics and Health. For his broad-based support of India's economic reforms he was awarded the Padma Bhushan, one of India's highest honors. He has similarly engaged with the Chinese Government on many issues of sustainable development, and during 2001-3 worked with senior government officials on China's Western Development Strategy. He has authored many scholarly and policy papers on India's and China's economic reforms. Sachs has also worked in other parts of Asia on a number of development and research projects, including in Malaysia, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and others. He actively supports Bhutan's innovative strategy of Gross National Happiness. He works with the Government of Jordan on a national program of poverty reduction and with the Government of Qatar on education and ICT initiatives throughout the Arab region.
Since 1995, Professor Sachs has been deeply engaged in Africa's escape from poverty. He has worked in more than two-dozen African countries, and has advised the African leadership at several African Union summits. In the mid-1990s he worked with senior officials of the Clinton Administration to develop the concept of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). He has engaged with dozens of African leaders to promote smallholder agriculture and to fight high disease burdens through strengthened primary health systems. His pioneering ideas on investing in health to break the poverty trap have been widely applied throughout the continent. He currently serves as an advisor to several African governments, including Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda, among others.
The Millennium Villages Project, which he directs, operates in more than one dozen African countries, and covers more than 500,000 people. The MVP has achieved notable successes in raising agricultural production, reducing children's stunting, and cutting child mortality rates, with the results described in several peer-reviewed publications. Its key concepts of integrated rural development to achieve the MDGs are now being applied at national scale in Nigeria and Mali, and are being used by many other countries to help support national anti-poverty programs. He works very closely with the Islamic Development Bank to scale up programs of integrated rural development and sustainable agriculture among the Bank's member countries. One such project supports pastoralist communities in the Horn of Africa, with six participating nations: Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, and South Sudan.
Since the adoption of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2000, Professor Sachs has been the leading academic scholar and practitioner on the MDGs. He chaired the WHO Commission on Macroeconomics and Health (2000-1), which played a pivotal role in scaling up the financing of health care and disease control in the low-income countries to support MDGs 4, 5, and 6. He worked with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2000-1 to design and launch the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria. He worked closely with senior officials of the administration of George W. Bush to develop the PEPFAR program to fight HIV/AIDS, and the PMI to fight malaria. On behalf of Secretary-General Kofi Annan, from 2002-2006 he chaired the UN Millennium Project, which was tasked with developing a concrete action plan to achieve the MDGs. The UN General Assembly adopted the key recommendations of the UN Millennium Project at a special session in September 2005. The recommendations for rural Africa are currently being implemented and documented in the Millennium Villages, and in several national scale-up efforts such as in Nigeria.
Professor Sachs has been the Director of the Earth Institute of Columbia University since 2002. In that capacity, he leads a university-wide organization of more than 850 professionals from natural-science and social-science disciplines, in support of sustainable development. Sachs has consistently advocated for the expansion of University education on sustainable development, and helped to introduce the PhD in Sustainable Development at Columbia University, one of the first PhD programs of its kind in the U.S. He championed the new Masters of Development Practice (MDP), which has led to a consortium of major universities around the world offering the new degree. The Earth Institute has also guided the adoption of sustainable development as a new major at Columbia College. The Earth Institute is home to cutting-edge research on all aspects of earth systems and sustainable development.
Sachs is the recipient of many awards and honors, including membership in the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Harvard Society of Fellows, and the Fellows of the World Econometric Society. He has received more than 20 honorary degrees, and many awards and honors around the world. His syndicated newspaper column appears in more than 80 countries around the world, and he is a frequent contributor to major publications such as the Financial Times of London, the International Herald Tribune, Scientific American, and Time magazine.
Sachs' policy and academic works span the challenges of globalization, and include: the relationship of trade and economic growth; the resource curse and extractive industries; public health and economic development; economic geography; strategies of economic reform; international financial markets; macroeconomic policy; global competitiveness; climate change; and the end of poverty. He has authored or co-authored hundreds of scholarly articles and several books, including three bestsellers and a textbook on macroeconomics that is widely used around the world.
Prior to his arrival at Columbia University in July 2002, Sachs spent over twenty years as a professor at Harvard University, most recently as Director of the Center for International Development and the Galen L. Stone Professor of International Trade.
Sachs was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1954. He received his B.A., summa cum laude, from Harvard College in 1976, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1978 and 1980 respectively. He joined the Harvard faculty as an Assistant Professor in 1980, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1982 and Full Professor in the fall of 1983, at the age of 28.

University of Buckingham London Campus
University of Buckingham London Campus
History of the University
Buckingham is the only university independent of direct government support in the United Kingdom and has used its independence to pioneer a distinctive approach to higher education.
On 27 May 1967, The Times published a letter from Dr J. W. Paulley, which said, "Is it not time to examine the possibility of creating at least one new university in this country on the pattern of those great private foundations in the USA, without whose stimulus and freedom of action the many excellent state universities in that country would be so much poorer."
This idea was taken up by a number of people in the business and academic worlds and three London conferences followed, two in 1968 and one in early 1969. Active supporters included Max Beloff, then Gladstone Professor of Politics at Oxford and later first Principal of the University College at Buckingham, Professor Harry Ferns and Ralph Harris. Harry Ferns and Ralph Harris were both prominent members of the Institute of Economic Affairs, an organisation whose ideas have played a major role in the development of the University.

Montezemolo tells Business Week
Maranello, 30 May – The news had already been announced in Maranello at the "Formula Ferrari†event and President Montezemolo reiterated it today in an interview with Business Week: there will be fewer Ferraris built in 2013 to maintain their exclusivity. That was the summary of the Prancing Horse strategy for the near future.
"We have fantastic customers and we need to give them something they cannot get anywhere else,†he told the weekly American business publication, produced by Bloomberg. "Ferrari has to go further than every other car manufacturer in the world in terms of its sales figures, quality and exclusivity and it must be able to generate income with unique additional services.
"That is why we have decided to reduce the current production,†underlined Montezemolo. "We will build fewer than seven thousand cars, even though the market could absorb many more.â€
The Business Week article highlighted the Ferrari Store's capsule collection, an upmarket range which Brand Director Andrea Perrone was particularly keen on, so that, alongside the line of Ferrari-branded items for the fans, there would be a line which would, as of now, encapsulate the spirit of the Prancing Horse par excellence.

Sony's 2007 line of Bravia-branded LCD HDTVs includes numerous new models, but the least expensive, and therefore most likely candidate for most popular, is the KDL-S3000 series. The 46-inch KDL-46S3000 represents the largest of the series, and is priced higher than many like-size budget flat-panel TVs but lower than most 1080p models. Nonetheless the S3000 series includes two typically Sony-style "extras": an internal menu design that will be familiar to PSP and PS3 owners, along with the ability to interface with the company's optional Bravia Internet Link module. In case you're wondering, we didn't care too much for the menus and didn't test the Link since it's not available yet. As a big-screen LCD the KDL-S3000 delivered solid picture quality, including relatively deep blacks and commendable processing with standard-def sources, although as expected it couldn't quite match some of the more-expensive 1080p models available today.
Although we found its looks handsome enough, there's no denying that the KDL-46S3000 is one of the most conservative-looking flat-panel HDTVs Sony has ever produced. It's all matte black except for a glossy, black strip along the very bottom edge. The frame around the screen is nested in a slightly larger frame and protrudes a bit more around the edge than many sets we've seen, and below the screen is the standard thicker swath of perforated plastic hiding the embedded speakers. The lone nonblack accent is the prominent Sony logo.
Counting the included black stand, the KDL-46S3000 measures a compact 43.9 inches wide by 30.8 inches high by 12.1 inches deep and weighs 71 pounds. The TV itself, stripped of the stand for wall-mounting purposes, comes in at 43.9x28.8x4.6 inches and 61 pounds.
Sony packages its most basic remote with the KDL-46S3000, but we have no complaints about the clicker's design. The smallish wand feels good in-hand, there's plenty of space and differentiation between the keys, and all of the major functions are accounted for. We'd like to see some kind of illumination (do glow-in-the-dark keys cost that much extra?) but most TV remotes lack it these days.
One item separates the remote from the run-of-the-mill: instead of a Menu key to access the onscreen menus, Sony employs a big blue button labeled "Home." Perhaps that's the company's way of warning you that the TV's menu system looks slicker than the average TV's. The KDL-S3000 series is the first implementation on a TV of Sony's PSP-style menus (the trademark, if you care, is XMB, for XrossMediaBar), with items arranged horizontally and vertically on a sort of tree. We like the clean look of the menus and appreciate the text explanations that appear when you move over a selection, but we had a few frustrating moments when navigating the many items. First off, we didn't appreciate having to scroll seemingly forever on the Settings menu to find the items we wanted (although the Options remote key did allow quick access to important submenus like picture and sound settings). Second, when we landed on the right selection, we would often mistakenly attempt to access it by hitting the right cursor key--a natural tendency given the menu's orientation--instead of the central cursor key. Third, we didn't like having to access a submenu to explore the items inside; on many TV menus, simply landing on the name of a submenu also displays the items therein. After a while, we did become acclimated to the new menus, but overall we really preferred Sony's TV menus from last year.
As a member of Sony's least-expensive series of LCDs, the 46-inch KDL-S3000 has the standard 1,366x768 native resolution, not the 1080p resolution found on step-up models. That means it can resolve every detail of 720p HDTV content. All content--whether high-definition, standard-definition, or DVD--is scaled to fit the available pixels.
Viewers expecting all of the myriad picture controls available on Sony's step-up models will be a bit disappointed by the KDL-46S3000's selection, but it still has more options than most LCDs. The most glaring omission is the ability to fine-tune color temperature beyond the four preset modes--an ability found on many late-model LCDs, including budget models like Vizio. We did like that you could adjust each of the three overall picture modes independently for each input, which makes tweaking the picture for different sources and personal preferences easier. In addition to the usual range of controls, the Advanced menu offers a suite of Sony-specific extras, most of which we left Off, for critical viewing (see Performance for details on our picture settings). Another menu, mysteriously labeled "Video options," hides Sony's CineMotion settings; you can choose between Off and Auto for each input, an unusual touch, and the latter typically engages 2:3 pull-down detection.
Conveniences include a picture-in-picture feature that allows you to watch two programs at once, and a favorite-channel list that's useful when you employ the set's built-in tuners (as opposed to a cable or satellite box), of which one is the federally mandated ATSC variety. There's also a freeze-frame function and a more-comprehensive-than-usual Display feature that lists the signal resolution, aspect ratio, source, and time of day. Speaking of aspect ratio, the Sony KDL-46S3000 offers three choices with high-def sources and four with standard-def. We also appreciated the extra options in the Screen menu, which offered the ability to automatically resize 4:3 material, zoom the viewing area slightly, and adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the entire picture.
The connectivity of the Sony KDL-46S3000 is perfectly adequate for a midlevel HDTV. Its total of two HDMI inputs is one fewer than many HDTVs on the market this year, but otherwise there's little missing. The back panel also includes the requisite pair of component-video inputs, an AV input with composite and S-Video, a second AV input with only composite video, a VGA-style PC input (1,360x768 maximum resolution), and an optical digital audio output for the ATSC tuner. A separate back-panel USB port and mounting slot are available for use with Sony's Bravia Internet Link product. The side-panel sprouts the usual AV input with composite and S-Video along with a convenient headphone output.

Last night in Siloam Springs, Ark., the NAIA's John Brown University played its first game of the 2011-12 season against Hillsdale Freewill Baptist and won, 101-58. And as they do every year, the Golden Eagles surrendered two easy points to Hillsdale in the second minute of the game, after officials called a technical foul on the home crowd for throwing hundreds of rolls of toilet paper into the air to celebrate John Brown's first basket.
John Brown—not to be confused with Joe Smith U—has been celebrating this way for more than 30 years, and the tradition has grown steadily ever since the administration fully embraced it as the school's most beloved ritual. (The practice was banned by the NCAA years ago.) Like a local diner framing its "Best Area Milkshake" certificate, the men's basketball page proudly displays that USA Today once called their annual TP game the "best technical foul in all of sports."
But we're sold, so we're not arguing with that. Toilet paper should probably replace confetti as the official celebratory paper of sports.
Via The Dagger.

The Lowdown: A tax on cars picked up at an airport or a major train station.
The Damage: It could range from 15 percent (Italy) to 20 percent (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), or else it's a flat fee, such as in the U.K. (about $30), Spain (about $57), and France (about $56).
The Fix: After your flight or train arrives, hop
a taxi to an off-airport rental-car
location (sometimes as close as five miles away). Note: The fee only applies to the pickup; you can return your car at the airport or train station without charge.
The Lowdown: One-way rentals within any given Western European country are generally free, such as if you picked up a car in Rome and dropped it off in Florence. But drop the car off in another country, and you'll be hit with this penalty.
The Damage: From $70 to $4,000, depending on how far from home the car is returned.
The Fix: Comparison shopping is a must; fees vary by company and country.
The Lowdown: Most European car companies sneakily pass along the cost of necessary vehicle permits and licenses as a "tax" or fee.
The Damage: As much as $5 per day.
The Fix: You won't be able to avoid paying it, but if you book through a European agency, such as Auto Europe (autoeurope.com), Gemüt (gemut.com), or Europe by Car (ebctravel.com), you'll be quoted all taxes and fees along with the rate, so you won't get a misleadingly low-priced number.

Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.
- Airports, airlines work hard to return your lost items
- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
The Lowdown: The traditional hour-long grace period is disappearing. If you're more than 29 minutes late returning a car in many Western European locations, you'll be charged for a full day extra.
The Damage: Cost of one day's rental.
The Fix: Return the car before the time stamped on your contract. Period.
The Lowdown: Driving somewhere with icy roads, such as a mountain resort? You'll need winter tires, which you should request in advance.
The Damage: From about $3.50 per day in Austria to about $21 per day in Germany; maximum charge is about $170.
The Fix: The fee is mandatory in some countries (such as Germany) in cold weather, so your only option is to see if the total cost of the rental—including the fee—is still worth it. You might do better taking another method of transportation.
The Lowdown: If you said you would fill up the tank yourself before you returned your car but then forgot to do it, you may be socked with an additional fee on top of the inflated per-liter rate that the car company will charge. In the U.S., you'd only be hit with the extortionate cost of the gas.
The Damage: In France, for instance, Avis charges about $12 as a penalty.
The Fix: Not much to it. Fill 'er up before you drop your car off (and keep your receipt as proof that you did).

When this contact was cut off we all went around in shock, and consequently we became even closer to each other never did we miss a family event - celebration or tragedy, in the lives of our fellow Briskers. In 1942- 43 we received unsubstantiated and unbelievable news of the destruction that was occurring in Brest. We formed the idea to establish a Brisker Association in Melbourne with the aim of assisting our brethren in Brest at the first opportunity. In 1944 the news we received was clearer and more terrible. A meeting of all the Briskers was held on the 20th August 1944 at the home of A. Chani. An assistance fund was established to help any Briskers who would turn to us for help.
Our committee immediately sent letters to the Brisker Landmanschafts in NewYork, Buenos Aires and Tel Aviv. We informed them of our decisions and asked them for any news from Brest or about the Jews of Brest. Their replies contained no new information. We then sent letters to Moscow, to the offices of the Unity publication, and to the Council of Polish Jews. Alas, we never got a reply. But we did get a letter from a surviving Brest Jew, Asher Zisman, who described the destruction of Brest in detail, and how he and his wife had managed to save themselves. He also informed us about 14 other Brest Jews who had fled in various directions and survived. He himself was in Belgium. Letters began to arrive from other Brest survivors in Italy, Poland and Germany.
On the 30th July 1946, we received a collective letter from 12 Brest families who had returned from exile in Russia and were in a camp in Stettin Poland. They requested help and emigration permits for 7 families. From them we found out that dozens of Brest survivors were scattered in various towns throughout Poland. A committee was formed in Stettin, as this is where the largest group of Brest survivors was.
We immediately called an emergency meeting at the home of H. Rosenberg, and decided that the following Sunday every Brisker would bring food and clothing the collection point was the factory of H.A. Woliniec. We packed and sent 24 parcels, each containing food, medicine and clothing. From then on this committee conducted a systematic and intensive assistance program. We received letters requesting help from survivors in various countries not one request was unanswered.
Now that we knew the date of the massacre and liquidation of the town 15th October 1942 we began to hold an annual commemoration ceremony. At the first memorial ceremony we published a bulletin about the fate of the Jews of Brest that appeared as a Yiddish supplement in the Australian Jewish News. This bulletin included a historical article about the Jews of Brest by A. Chani, as well as the letter from the survivor Asher Zisman, followed by an article 20 years in Brest by L. Greenberg, Brest without Jews by Y. Feldman, Eternal Sorrow by M. Wabnik, and the Road to the Grave by R. Mandelzweig.
We regularly hold meetings to organize effective assistance for all Briskers, as well as the annual Yizkor memorial services.
It is also noteworthy that the Brest Landsmanschaft belongs to the Australian Federation of Landsmanchafts, and we are represented by our President, Mrs Grace (Gruzhevski), who is the treasurer of this Federation. Our members also represent us at other Jewish community organizations in which they hold important positions.

Circa 2006, when I was planning on redoing a couple of old lawn chairs, a Google search for instructions on how to work macramé lawn chairs led me into exploring the craft of macramé itself, which in turn left me shaken and scarred. Every click seemed to reveal some fresh new horror. I couldn't seem to find a single attractive use of this craft. There was nothing but bad jewelry, terrible home décor items, tacky lawn chairs, Elvis-style belts, wretched Christmas decorations, and really bloody awful owls.
Remember these plant hangers? They were ubiquitous in the seventies. Although fortunately back then it didn't generally occur to people to make their plant hangers do double duty as a wine rack.
And then there were the macramé owls. So many owls. For some reason people who did macramé had a real fetish for owls. There were macramé owl earrings, macramé owl key chains, and especially macramé wall hangings. If you have the fortitude you can peruse seven freaking pages of macramé owls here.
Eventually, defeated and demoralized, I just printed off some instructions and did my chairs in the "I heart Bingo" pattern above.
I kid. I actually worked them in a plain pattern using cream-coloured cord. And they turned out fine, but to this day that's my only foray into macramé.
Then a little while ago it occurred to me that I ought to write a post on macramé for this site as I've done for a number of other crafts that are akin to knitting. This time my image googling results were more mixed. Some of the same traumatizing crafts were still popping up (go ahead and google "macramé lingerie" if you dare), but there were also a number of very attractive items. I've since learned that macramé is also known as Canvandoli and knotted fiber art, which helped me uncover some of the better examples of macramé. As of course exist. There are bad crafts out there, but there's really no such thing as a bad crafting technique. When crafting goes wrong as it often does, the fault lies in the design and/or the execution, not in the medium itself. Every tree produces some bad apples.
So yes, macramé has loads of potential as a craft. If anything, it's underexplored as a medium. I do think it's fair to say that macramé is more limited than knitting. It isn't well suited to making clothing. Loosely knotted macramé will be too open weave to be wearable (unless one is, say, J.Lo), and knotting it more closely will make it too stiff and heavy for clothing.
Macramé does have some limited use as overlays and embellishments for clothing, as is the case with this hammered silk crepe and jersey macramé dress from the Spring/Summer 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection by Tadashi Shoji.
Macramé can also be used to make straps or halter back detail for a garment. It could also be used to make a shawl.
The stiffness and sturdiness of closely knotted macramé makes it a good technique for purses and handbags, as in the case of this clutch and shoulder bag from Banana Republic.
Macramé can make some quite striking jewelry, in which the crafter can incorporate beads and stones and other findings.
If you've got a simple wooden or metal chair frame about, you can make a quite comfortable and attractive macramé chair that will be suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
Macrame can also be used to make pillows, as in the case of these from Amenity, though you will want to line them.
And I don't see anything objectionable in a simple macramé plant hanger, like these ones, the pattern for which is available for free on the Lion Brand site (I can't link directly to the pattern as anyone who wants to access it must register first). But please, no plant hangers with tassels hanging nearly to the floor, and no sticking wine bottles into your plant hanger, because that's just wrong.
If you wish to give macramé a go, there is Free-Macrame-Patterns.com, which offers some patterns (of varying quality, but that's to be expected given the price) and, more importantly, instructions on the basics and more advanced techniques of the craft. There's also Macrame School on Youtube, which offers a number of instructional videos, and for inspiration, there are quite a few macramé boards on Pinterest.
But it doesn't seem that macramé will ever distance itself from the owl. If anything, macramists seem determined to embrace the owl, as artist Andy Harman has done with this owl installation. There is, in fact, Macramé Owl, an "organisation [that] is dedicated to saving, rehabilitating and reviving the Macramé Owl".
I couldn't make this stuff up.

Basics of the Sacrifice of the
by Father William G. Most
The Council of Trent taught that the Mass
is the same as Calvary,
"only the manner of offering being changed"
from bloody to unbloody. Similarly Vatican II
(On the Liturgy #10) said that the Mass is the renewal of the
new covenant.
A sacrifice as Catholics
understand it (in contrast to some pagan
concepts) has two elements: the outward
sign and the interior dispositions. The outward sign
is there to express and perhaps promote the interior. Without the interior it would be worthless. Hence God
once complained through Isaiah 29:13: "This
people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." We
need to take care that we too do not descend into mere externalism,
thinking it enough to just make the responses and sing etc.
At the Last Supper, the outward sign was the seeming
separation of body and blood, with the two species. This was a dramatized way of saying
to the Father: "I
know the command You have given Me, I am to die tomorrow. Very good, I turn myself over to
death - expressed by the seeming separation - I accept, I obey." On the
next day He did as
He pledged, but
then the outward sign was the physical
separation of body and blood, while the interior
remained the same. In the Mass, by the
agency of a human priest who acts "in the person of Christ" (Vatican II,
Lumen Gentium
# 10) Christ continues
and repeats His offering.
The external sign is multiplied as many times as there are Masses. But the interior disposition
of Christ is not
multiplied, it is continued from that with which He died.
For death makes permanent the attitude of
will with which one leaves this world.
Since the Mass has the same external
sign, and the same interior dispositions on the part of Christ, we rightly call
it a sacrifice, the continuation
of Calvary. It does not need to earn redemption
all over - that was done once-for-all (Hebrews
9:28) by His death.
But since the Holiness of God loves
everything that is good, and in good order, it pleases Him
to have titles or reasons in place for what He will give (cf. Summa I. 19. 5.
c). So it pleases Him to have the Mass provide the title for the distribution
of what was once-for-all earned on Calvary.
Catechists often like to use a memory word ACTS to
express the dispositions: adoration, contrition,
thanksgiving, and supplication. This
is not wrong, but it leaves out the essential disposition, obedience to
the Father (Cf. Romans 5:19
and Lumen Gentium
At the Last Supper He ordered,
"Do this in memory of Me". Since we were
not there, He wants us to join our
dispositions to His. The great Liturgy
Encyclical of Pius XII, Mediator
Dei, explains well that the people can be said to exercise their royal
priesthood, to offer the Mass
with the priest: first,
"from the fact that the priest at the altar in offering a
sacrifice in the name of all His members, does so in the person of Christ,"
whose members they are. (Since only the ordained priest acts "in
the person of Christ" Vatican II says [Lumen Gentium
#10] that the ordained priesthood differs from
that of the laity in essence, and not only in degree).
Secondly the people can be said to offer
since: "The people join their hearts in praise, petition,
expiation and thanksgiving with the prayers or intention of the priest, in fact, of the
High Priest Himself, so that in the one and same of offering of the Victim... they may be
presented to God the Father "(Acta Apostolicae Sedis,
39:556). Vatican II explains (Lumen Gentium #
10) that this is what it means for them to "offer spiritual
These spiritual sacrifices consist of
their obedience to the will
of the Father,
already carried out, and planned for the future (Cf. Lumen Gentium
#34). This includes their works, their bearing the troubles of
life, their prayers, their apostolic efforts,
their living out the duties of their state in life,
even their relaxation of body and mind if all these things are done as part of the Father's plan, to enable them to serve
Him better. Jesus Himself spent about 30
out of 33 years in family life, to show how greatly the Father values this if done precisely because it is
part of His plan. No wonder Paul VI,
on February 12, 1966, told the 13th
National Congress of the Italian Feminine Center that "marriage is a long road towards sanctification", that
is, if one takes everything in it as part of the Father's
We can call this a royal priesthood, since to live this way is to
reign, instead of being a slave to vices
(2Peter 2:19). Saint Augustine explains this well in his
exegesis of Revelation/Apocalypse 20:5-6 (City of God
20:7-9) which tells how the holy ones rise
from sin - which is the first
resurrection, and reign, by being their own masters, by not consenting
to the works of the Beast,
the Antichrist and his
minions, "but they will be priests of God
and of Christ, and will reign with Him for that thousand years", i.e.,
all the time from His ascension to
His return at the end.
It would be good to take a moment before each Mass to see what one has to join with the obedience of Christ, soon to be offered on the altar.
Then Mass cannot be without meaning; rather,
it dominates all of life, for we should bring our past obediences,
and look ahead to the obedience of the near
We can see easily how Vatican II could call the Mass
the renewal of the new covenant: in the making of
that new covenant, the essential condition which gave it all its value
was obedience, the obedience
of Jesus, which is
to be represented again on the altar, so we may join with it.
It is good to recall too that His Mother shared in this sacrifice
by her obedience
(cf. our comments on the Third Article of the Creed) on Calvary,
and now, as John Paul II taught (Angelus Homily of
February 12, 1984) she "is at every altar" because "she was present at the original sacrifice", sharing
in it, and now from heaven,
she still joins her
will to His, as He
offers the flesh and blood He received from her.
The graces of the Mass
are communicated in accord with how often the Mass
is offered for a certain intention, the dispositions of the priest, the
dispositions of the faithful who join with him, the dispositions of those
for whom it is offered, and God's Providence.
We say we offer the Mass in
honor of Our Lady, the angels,
particular Saints. In
it we thank God for what He has done for them, and for us through them. But
we offer the Mass to
God alone.
The chief liturgical divisions of the Mass
are: the penitential rite, the liturgy of the word, the liturgy of the eucharist, the communion rite, and the concluding
rite. For the sacrifice as
such, only the double consecration is
essential. Hence Pius XII taught, "When
the consecration of the bread and wine is validly brought about, the whole action of
Christ is actually accomplished. Even if all that remains could not be completed, still,
nothing essential would be lacking to the Lord's offering" (Vous nous
avez, To the Liturgical Conference of Assisi September 22,
1956). Hence the Great Amen
is not the offering, it is a sort of extension, to give us further opportunity to join
with Christ. The Communion
follows up, giving us a share in the Divine Victim
as He has commanded.
The Mass brings forgiveness
for venial sins for which there is sorrow, and for temporal
punishment commonly left over after forgiveness
of sins.
Mass may be offered for the living
or the dead.
Its general benefits go to the whole Church,
living and dead. Special
benefits are for the priest who offers, and those for whom a Mass
is specially offered, and for those who actively participate at the Mass.
In it we recall not only His death,
but also His Resurrection, as the Eucharistic Prayer I reminds us.
Even with the changes in the laws, Mass on Sundays
and Holydays of Obligation remains
an obligation binding under grave sin each time.

UK government defends Murdoch ties as scandal spirals
A newspaper is opened to show the advertisement apology for News International and photographed at a news vendor in central London, Saturday, July 16, 2011. News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch signed the company advert entitled "We are sorry", which is published in British national newspapers Saturday. The News International publication News of the World is accused of hacking into the mobile phones of various crime victims, celebrities and politicians.(AP Photo/Sang Tan)
