Receiving GO32 on the mobile: It should be noted, that a D7 or D700 will not display any packets from GO32 except for other APRS packets. BUT. There is a way to open it up so that it captures the STATUS packets from GO32. This makes it easier to test your mobile receive capability... 1) Go to your APRS-UNPROTO menu. 2) WRITE DOWN what it is now (APK101 or APK102) or whatever. It shows you your version number in all your message packets. You will want to restore this for normal terrestrial operations. Write it down. 3) Temproarily change this menu item to STATUS. Now you will receive all GO32 STATUS Packets (but will not receive any other APRS messages. You will continue to receive other positions from other D7 or D700's however). Again, since there are about 6 STAUTS packets every 20 seconds form GO32 while there are users on the BBS, monitoring these packets is a great way to test your mobile receive capability. But remember to change your APRS-UNPROTO- back to APKxxx for normal terrestrial operation.

We reported here on the resignation of two investigators for the Volcker committee investigating the U.N.'s oil for food scandal. The resignations apparently were in protest over the Volcker report's gentle treatment of Kofi Annan. Subsequently, Volcker has apparently directed his former investigators not to talk to others who are looking into the scandal.
The best investigation of the oil for food program is the one being carried out by Senator Norm Coleman, Chairman of the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Today Coleman's office put out this statement by the Senator:
I spoke with Mr. Volcker yesterday and expressed my grave and growing concerns about the credibility and independence of the investigation into the criminal misconduct that occurred in the U.N. Oil-for-Food program. Robert Parton and Miranda Duncan's resignation from the Independent Inquiry Committee (IIC), and a lack of adequate explanation for their departure, only fuels concerns about the credibility of the IIC led by Mr. Volcker. His refusal to permit Mr. Parton and Ms. Miranda to cooperate with the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation (PSI) cannot stand. I have directed staff to issue subpoenas as soon as possible to Mr. Parton and Ms. Miranda to compel them to cooperate with PSI investigators. In order to preserve public confidence in the IIC investigation and the United Nations, it is vital to hear from these two individuals immediately.

Press Release: Carnegie Mellon's Information Networking Institute Applauds Alumni Authors for Book on Android Security
Contact: Chriss Swaney / 412-268-5776 / firstname.lastname@example.com
PITTSBURGH—Two Carnegie Mellon University alumni are giving smartphone users a reality check with a new book that identifies and explains the cyberthreats posed by snooping hackers and other malware communication challenges.
Anmol Misra and Abhishek Dubey, who earned master's degrees at CMU's Information Networking Institute (INI), have written a comprehensive book about security challenges facing Android, one of the leading platforms for smartphones and tablet use. In their book, "Android Security: Attacks and Defenses," the authors explain how attackers can get control of your smartphone.
"This book is a wonderful example of how our graduates apply the knowledge and experience gained from their work in our interdisciplinary master's programs," said Dena Haritos Tsamitis, director of CMU's Information Networking Institute (INI) and director of education, training and outreach for Carnegie Mellon CyLab, one of the largest university-based cybersecurity research and education centers in the U.S.
Tsamitis, who wrote the book's foreword, points out that "anyone with an interest in mobile security will be able to get up to speed on the Android platform, and will gain a strategic perspective on how to protect personal and enterprise customers from the growing threats to mobile devices."
Both Misra and Dubey report that ever since Android has emerged as a leading platform for mobile devices, it has increasingly become the target for malicious attackers as vast amounts of personal data are stored in emails, texts and other applications, and personal information is increasingly easy to find on social networks. And the trend is going to continue with the rise in popularity of Android-based devices.
"Thirty-two applications available through the official Google market (Google Play) were recently infected with BadNews malware," said Misra, who earned his master's degree in information networking in 2005 and is now a member of Cisco's Information Security team. "People need to be able to trust the source of their applications, application behavior and they need assurance that data on their mobile devices is safe. Employees are increasingly bringing their personal devices to work — in many cases Android phones and tablets. This can result in significant exposure for enterprise security," Misra added.
Dubey, who earned his master's degree in information security and technology management in 2006 and is now a member of Cisco's Security Services and Cloud Operations team, said one of the big problems is that consumers are running old software programs on their smartphones and tablets. "This makes Android appear to be a mobile malware," Dubey said.
Misra and Dubey said the other challenge with mobile devices is that more personal data is now stored on these ubiquitous devices. "People need to upgrade frequently, develop backup systems for storage of personal material and ask for help before hackers completely overwhelm systems," the authors said.
"These mobile systems are pioneering and revolutionizing the way we work, play and live, but more attention must be spent on developing novel defenses to keep data safe, secure and reliable," Misra said.
Industry leaders agree.
"Dubey and Misra have filled a critical gap in software security literature by providing a unique and holistic approach to addressing this critical and often misunderstood topic. Android has become a key platform for mobility over the last few years and this book is a valuable resource for securing the same," said James Ransome, senior director of product security at McAfee.

Heacham is a popular Norfolk coastal holiday resort situated three miles from Hunstanton and eight miles from Sandringham on the A149 in Norfolk, England.
Heacham derives its name from its 12th century overlord Geoffrey de Hecham, and its river, the Hitch. Over the years the word and spelling have become Heacham meaning "The Home in the Thicket". Heacham has existed as a settlement since before the Romans. Indeed, evidence has been found here of passing centuries as far back as the stone age.
Today, Heacham is very much a thriving village community, lit by fabulously unique east coast sunsets and encircled by fragrant purple lavender and scarlet poppy fields. Visitors and residents alike enjoy the sloping beaches and the soft undulating West Norfolk countryside, which has remained unchanged over time.
Heacham's poppyfields are a spectacular sight to see in season and is a huge hit with photographers from all over. You cannot fail to be wowed by the sea of red spread across the fields as you drive past. In addition, the wide expanse of the famous Lavender fields in full bloom are also a sight not to be missed.
Heacham-On-Line aims to show you just how wonderful a holiday destination Heacham really is. This site contains vital information for Heacham visitors including information about accommodation, shops, attractions, events, what to do, where to go and current news items.

The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, published by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, is a remarkable summary of Catholic social teaching. Those who were disappointed with the abbreviated treatment of Catholic social thought in the Catechism of the Catholic Church will be delighted with this 446-page overview of church teaching that is integral to the church's evangelizing mission. Specific topics such as child labor, globalization and preventive war are examined in the light of both biblical and magisterial themes. It is thoroughly refreshing to see the words reconciliation and love used so often in this document. Indeed, the stirring conclusion (read it first!) is entitled For a Civilization of Love. Business people, politicians, military officers, labor leaders, researchers, activists, journalists, teachers and preachers will all find the Compendium a challenging and invaluable resource for their work. Its importance cannot be stressed too much: we have at last an official Catholic social gospel.
I want to highlight briefly some major themes of the Compendium and then offer a few comments on Chapters 9, The International Community, and 11, The Promotion of Peace.Catholic teaching on these matters offers a realistic exit strategy to the problems many sovereign nation states have thus far been unable to solve: war, poverty and denial of human rights. Catholic teaching looks to a time when war will be abolished, when human rights will be universally respected and justice will characterize the relations between states.
A difficult agenda? Indeed. Idealistic? Of course. But the opposite of idealism is not realism, it is pessimism. Pessimism can be a morally crippling philosophy that separates humankind from its past and consequently denies hope for the future. Catholic realism, on the other hand, acknowledges both the peril and the promise of the human condition, but it does not sacrifice the promise to the peril.
The promise, in Catholic social doctrine, is rooted in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. Both chapters begin with brief but valuable biblical assertions like: The Christian vision offers a universal vision of the life of men and peoples on earth that makes us realize the unity of the human family (Ch. 9) and Working for peace can never be separated from announcing the Gospel, which is in fact the good news of peace' (Ch. 11). This biblical perspective is welcome, since so many magisterial documents have historically been strong on philosophy but weak on Scripture.
The International Community
Chapter 9 provides a Christian vision of the international community. The universal common good, in Catholic social teaching, demands that political communities be justly regulated according to the principles of reason, equity, law and negotiation, excluding recourse to violence and war, as well as to forms of discrimination, intimidation and deceit. International law, rather than war or military dominance, is the only effective guarantor of international order. Catholic teaching calls upon nations to reject definitively the idea that justice can be sought through recourse to war.
The creation of an international totally effective juridical authority is at the heart of contemporary Catholic teaching on international affairs. To guard against domination by a superpower, the church insists that the principle of subsidiarity apply to the public authority of the world community. That is, the public authority will neither take the place of individual political communities (states) nor usurp their appropriate powers. In fact, the public authority exists to serve local communities rather than to dominate them. In the church's view, international law must ensure that the law of the most powerful does not prevail.
To this end, Catholic teaching has consistently supported the United Nations and its predecessor bodies. (Pope Benedict XV, for example, called for the creation of an international alliance as early as 1920.) The church believes the United Nations has made a notable contribution to the promotion of respect for human dignity, the freedom of peoples and the requirements of development, thus preparing the cultural and institutional soil for the building of peace. Catholic teaching also positively evaluates the many private associations (nongovernmental organizations, or N.G.O.'s) that produce gestures of solidarity and peace on the international level.
Global poverty receives special attention. Catholic social teaching has long recognized that poverty results from erroneous human choices, from economic, financial and socialmechanisms. More recently it has attributed these deficiencies to structures of sin. The church believes the poverty of billions of men and women is the one issue that most challenges our human and Christian conscience.' The option or preferential love of the Church for the poorseeks to remind the nations of the world that all are really responsible for all.
Peace Through Justice
Chapter 11 tackles the issues of war and peace. After a brief but comprehensive review of the biblical basis for peace, we read, The crucified Jesus has overcome divisions, re-establishing peace and reconciliation, precisely through the cross, thereby bringing the hostility to an end' (Eph2:16) and bringing the salvation of the Resurrection to mankind.
A Christian view of peace will necessarily be at odds with those who merely seek to maintain a balance of power between enemies. The Compendium states definitively, Peace is the fruit of justice,and Peace is also the fruit of love.In an obvious reference to pacifism, we are told that the world needs the witness of unarmed prophets, who are often the objects of ridicule. These prophets are praised because they make use of those means of defense available to the weakest and because they bear witness to evangelical charity. Hence, it may be concluded that a Catholic peacemaker is one who uses nonviolent strategies to build a just society based on love for all.
What, then, about the just war? The Compendium addresses the just war doctrine and offers the following strict conditions for recourse to war to settle disputes between nations:
The damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave and certain;
All other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;
There must be serious prospects of success; the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated.
Contemporary Catholic social teaching has consistently urged, however, that disputesand warsbe settled through the United Nations and insisted that necessityand proportionality must characterize exercise of the right to self-defense. On this count, the magisterium makes a strong statement about preventive war: Therefore, engaging in a preventive war without clear proof that an attack is imminent cannot fail to raise serious moral and juridical questions.
The magisterium has given consistent support to the recently establishedInternational Criminal Courtin order to punish those responsible for particularly serious acts such as genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression. Economic sanctions are accepted in order to secure negotiation and dialogue with the offending party. These sanctions, however, have their limits: Sanctions must never be used as a means for the direct punishment of an entire population.
The Compendium condemns terrorismin the most absolute terms. This section observes that terrorism has evolved from extremist organizations to a shadowy network of political collusion. Terrorist targets are generally places of daily life and not military objectives in the context of a declared war. There is a right to defend oneself against terrorism,but that right cannot be exercised in the absence of moral and legal norms, because the struggle against terrorism must be carried out with respect for human rights and the principles of a state ruled by law. Finally, there are the much-neglected obligations in the war on terror, to analyze the reasons behind terrorist attacks and to resolve the problems that in certain dramatic circumstances can foster terrorism.
I conclude with several observations about Chapters 9 and 11.
First, when one reads the entirety of Catholic social teaching on international affairs and war and peace in its proper context, it is quite clear that for Catholics the resort to war is becoming more and more restricted. The just war principles are being applied in a rigorous fashion that clearly favors apresumption against warwitness the fact that almost no wars in the past 60 years have enjoyed magisterial support. This is true largely because the Catholic vision of world community strongly supports, and calls Catholics to rely on, international organizations such as the United Nations and the International Criminal Court to defend societies through social justice, preventive diplomacy and the rule of law. That, together with its exceptionally strong endorsement for nonviolent strategies of defense, has caused the church, especially in the age of weapons of mass destruction, to seek international strategies that make recourse to war unthinkable.
Second, the Compendium's discussion on terrorism is quite good as far as it goes, but the document limits terrorists mostly to non-state actors or at least to actors that collude with states. The addition of state actors in the terrorist discussion would, therefore, be welcome. One thinks, for example, of death squads, torture practices, political assassinations, denial of rights to prisoners and indiscriminate (obliteration) bombing as state-sponsored acts that target innocent people for political purposes. Clearly, nation states can perform terrorist acts, and have done so, sometimes against their own citizens. Terrorist acts by states should be included as well as those by non-state actors.
Third, although there is a very helpful Index of References (which includes a valuable 163-page analytical index), a future edition of the Compendium could be strengthened by referring the reader to additional statements that have been made by national and regional episcopal conferences on war and peace. Readers ofAmericaare aware that the U.S. Catholic Conference, for example, has made numerous statements on international affairs, including the highly acclaimed The Challenge of Peace (1983) and The Harvest of Justice Is Sown in Peace (1993). Reference to these documents (along with those of other national conferences) will carry more weight with the social, political and economic order that this text is meant to influence. These national documents often contribute to the social awareness of the global church. Their inclusion would be a reminder that individual bishops and national bishops' conferences, as well as the pope and Roman bodies, are teachers of faith and morals. While some may worry about divergences among conferences, such differences will point out the variety of situations in which Catholic social teaching must be applied and assist in the refinement of the teaching over time.
Fourth, this powerful presentation of Catholic social teaching is bound to challenge the Bush administration and its Catholic apologists. On point after pointthe document's deep respect for the United Nations and international law; its call for a universal public authority that will banish war; its conviction that poverty is the one contemporary issue that challenges the Christian conscience; its praise for unarmed prophets of conscience; the very strict restrictions it places on the just war doctrine; its call to end indiscriminate trading in arms; its conviction that preventive war cannot be waged without clear proof that an attack is imminent; its strong support for the International Criminal Court; and its call to fight the war on terrorism with respect for human rights and the principles of a state ruled by lawCatholic social thought is clearly at odds with the neoconservative philosophy that has been embraced by many in the Bush administration.
The Compendium is destined to be a classic that belongs in the library of every reader ofAmerica. It is a work of biblical vision as well as political realism. Perhaps its most valuable contributionis the examination of our troubled age in the context of the Gospel rather than that of the passing philosophies of the moment. We should be delighted, therefore, that words like justice and love are used to speak to an age that sorely needs both. Peace, the Compendium tells us, is integral or foundational to the mission of the church in and for the world. These wonderful chapters speak to the heart as well as the spirit of our age.

At one time, Robert Ragland equated membership in a Parent Teacher Association with "baking cookies and cakes." Then his son, Robert Jr., started the first grade at West Franklin Elementary School.
At one time, Robert Ragland equated membership in a Parent Teacher Association with "baking cookies and cakes."
Then his son, Robert Jr., started the first grade at West Franklin Elementary School.
The dad followed his wife's lead by joining the PTA at the Hilltop school - and soon discovered how off-base his view had been.
"They said, if we helped fix up the playground, they would feed us," a chuckling Ragland recalled. "And we're men - which means we like tools and we love to eat."
Sixteen years later - after stints as treasurer, vice president and president of various PTAs - Ragland serves as chairman of the Ohio PTA's Men Organized To Raise Engagement committee.
"I just liked being a hands-on dad and going in and doing what needed to be done," said Ragland , who works in the finance department at the Defense Supply Center Columbus .
The committee was founded in 2008 by the National PTA, a 5.5 million-member organization based in Arlington, Va., that has worked for years to try to increase male involvement in children's education - and, specifically, to get more men involved in PTA leadership roles.
"There is a lot of research that shows that children do better in school when both parents are involved - not just Mom," said James Martinez, spokesman for the National PTA.
"And anytime an organization can get a whole new demographic to be part of it, it adds energy and reinvigorates it."
In 2001, Martinez said, men headed no more than 3 percent of PTAs nationwide. By 2009, the number had reached 25 percent, he said.
Several factors, Martinez said, probably play into the shift - including that more women are primary breadwinners, compelling couples to share parenting duties more equitably, and economic challenges.
"There may be more men at home looking for something to do," he said.
In central Ohio, some school officials have noticed an uptick in male involvement in recent years.
"It's starting to catch on a little more," said April Knight, principal at Avondale Elementary School in the Franklinton neighborhood, where two fathers are active in the PTA and serve as crossing guards.
At Avalon Elementary on the North Side, Vaughn Cook has been involved with the PTA for about eight years, with this year marking his first as president.
"I think the more that men see other men in my position do what I'm doing, the less they will be intimidated (to join PTAs)," said Cook, an insurance agent and youth pastor who has two sons at Avalon: Joshua, 10, and Jacob, 9. "It's like, when you think of a nurse, what's the first gender you think of? The more you see male nurses, the more acceptable it becomes.
"It's the same thing with this."
Sandee Donald, principal at Avalon, agrees that male PTA leadership breaks down stereotypes.
"Anytime we invite fathers to an event, I have dads ask me, 'Am I going to be the only one (man) there?'??" Donald said. "Having a male leader of the group helps remove barriers."
Like Cook, Mike Kazee is in his inaugural year as a PTA president - at Harmon Elementary on the South Side.
Part of his role, he said, is to encourage more men to become involved.
"I grew up in Hilliard, where there was a lot more parental involvement," Kazee said. "At Harmon, there are a lot of single parents, and there were meetings in past years where I don't remember seeing a single male - except the principal.
"Now, I see more men, but usually they're coming with their wives, not on their own. So my job is to say: 'You're a dude. Get involved. It's not a girlie thing.'??"
Kazee and others see broader benefits, too, to greater male participation and visibility in schools.
"Having a father involved adds value simply because some kids don't have fathers in their lives," said Lolita Augenstein, president of the Columbus Council of PTAs, which represents Columbus schools.
"Back in the day, fathers would go to work and not get involved in schools at all.
"So when fathers walk in (to a school) - I'm not saying kids don't get excited when moms come in, because they do - there's a different type of excitement."
Yet not every male PTA president sees himself as an anomaly or a pioneer.
Steve Niehoff of the North Side has been involved in the PTA at Winterset Elementary since his daughter, Lanie, entered school six years ago. He served as treasurer before being elected president this year.
"I remember, growing up, my parents were always involved - and it's just the right thing to do," he said. "If my daughter's going to school, then I should be part of the school community."
Many other men, he said, get involved at Winterset.
"I don't stand out."

DETROIT --Michigan fisherman Mike Martin has landed a very unusual catch: A giant goldfish. Martin caught the fish in a lake near Saint Clair, Michigan.
"Basically, I was doing what I always do, trying to catch perch and I thought I had a big perch on," said Martin. "Definitely not a perch."
The fish weighs more than 3 pounds and is about 15 inches long.
He thought he might have a record catch. But among the biggest fish ever caught in Michigan, goldfish weren't even on the list. Goldfish are notoriously difficult to catch in the wild.
"Everybody wants to just dump them out their sea wall and let them be free and this is what they turn into," said Martin.
He plans to mount it on the wall of his home.

Now this should be good: F.W. Murnau's silent and sinister 1922 classic "Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens" will be screened on Halloween night at the Walt Disney Concert Hall with organ accompaniment by the accomplished Clark Wilson. You can find ticket and event info right here.
So do you think Bella would have swooned if the vampire Graf Orlok (portrayed, above, with such weird verve by mysterious Max Schrek) had showed up for classes at Forks High School? For those of you that haven't seen "Nosferatu" (and can't make it on Oct. 31 to Disney Hall) you can actually watch the entire film on You Tube now.

Reliving five exceptional Game 7 moments
Wednesday night is, in two words, hockey heaven.
Three NHL playoff Game 7s are on tap, with each presenting great storylines.
Can the Kings finish the job on an improbable comeback?
Will the Avalanche's season-long puck luck run out?
Who emerges victorious from the first Rangers-Flyers Game 7 since 1974?
I can hardly wait.
With those series-enders in mind, let's look back at five exceptional moments from recent Game 7s:
1996 — WINGS vs. BLUES
Always a clutch performer, Detroit Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman took advantage of a gaffe by The Great One in the second overtime of a Western Conference semifinal Game 7.
After Wayne Gretzky, then with the St. Louis Blues, fumbled the puck in the neutral zone, Yzerman pounced. He bolted down the right wing before unleashing a seeing-eye slapshot that beat goalie Jon Casey high on his blocker side.
The Joe Louis Arena crowd went bonkers, as Stevie Y's snipe broke a goalless match and sent his team to the Western finals.
The top shelf tally has become iconic in large part due to the behind-the-net camera angle used as the puck goes in.
2009 — PENGUINS vs. WINGS
This particular year, the Pittsburgh Penguins simply could not be stopped.
Down 3-2 in the Stanley Cup Final to the Detroit Red Wings, the Penguins stormed back in Game 6, winning 2-1 to force a Game 7.
Netminder Marc-Andre Fleury then came up huge in the dying seconds of the tiebreaker, denying Wings blueliner Niklas Lidstrom pointblank as all hell broke loose in Pittsburgh's end.
The Penguins, buoyed by two goals from grinder Max Talbot, won the deciding contest, 2-1, and claimed their first championship in 17 years. The first — and only, so far — of the Sidney Crosby Era.
1993 — KINGS vs. LEAFS
With Campbell Conference bragging rights on the line and, more importantly, a date with the Stanley Cup final-bound Montreal Canadiens to be gained, this Toronto Maple Leafs-Los Angeles Kings series went the distance.
Game 7? It was a doozy.
The contest was back-and-forth until the Kings scored with five minutes left to gain a 4-3 lead.
The final score was 5-4, with a Wayne Gretzky bank shot off Leafs defenceman Dave Ellet's skate proving to be the winner. The league's all-time leading scorer contributed a hat trick and an assist in the victory.
Gretzky not only broke the hearts of Felix Potvin, Wendel Clark and Doug Gilmour, but also a Cup-deprived Leafs Nation.
1987 — ISLANDERS vs. CAPITALS
With play at its sloppiest, Pat LaFontaine ended the Easter Epic in dramatic fashion.
Seven periods into the Patrick Division semifinal's Game 7, the New York Islanders, with little energy left, rejoiced following LaFontaine's turnaround slapshot at the Washington Capitals blueline.
Hall of Famer and Islanders centre Bryan Trottier tied things up, 2-2, with five minutes left in regulation. It took nearly four overtimes before another puck crossed the goal line.
It turned out to be the longest Game 7 in NHL playoff history — nearly 70 minutes of extra time — and, although it began Saturday night at around 7:30 p.m., the seemingly endless match didn't conclude until the early hours of Easter Sunday.
2010 — FLYERS vs. BRUINS
The Boston Bruins collapsed twice in this Eastern Conference semifinal series.
They blew a 3-0 series lead by losing Game 7, 4-3. Game 7 itself had another choke component to it, as the Philadelphia Flyers rallied from a 3-0 deficit.
Simon Gagne's goal with 7:08 left in regulation was the difference. Boston set the table for Gagne and the Flyers, taking a too-many-men penalty with under 10 minutes left in Game 7.
It's not often a team completely buckles like this, allowing the opposition to steal what seemed to be theirs.

|First appearance

|Voiced by
|Phil Hendrie
Hutch Waterfall was the brother of Frida Waterfall and the great-grandson of Old Man Waterfall. He was a mind reader and a member of the Legion of Mad Fellows, prominent for his right hand position to Nine.
In 3009, he helped Fry to find out the truth about the Violet Dwarf Star and the Dark Ones, and gave him a tinfoil hat to help him control his newfound mind-reading powers resulting from a piece of Frida's jewelry becoming lodged in his brain. However, at the final scene against the Last Dark One (which turned out to be the Desert Muck Leech) and the Last Encyclopod, Hutch was killed by the hideous, green monster, the same creature that killed his sister. With his dying strength, Hutch removed Frida's jewelry from Fry's brain, taking his mind-reading powers with it. The Last Encyclopod then took Hutch's DNA so he could preserve the DNA of Homo sapiens.
Additional Info
- He resembles a stereotypical paranoid conspiracy nut, as does the whole Legion of Mad Fellows.

Charles Orestus Smith, a retired CareFirst Medicare contractor who was an avid fan of the opera and symphony, died Jan. 3 of a heart attack at his home in the Northway Apartments in Guilford. He was 74.
Born in Baltimore and raised in Guilford, Mr. Smith was a 1954 graduate of Polytechnic Institute. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the Army and was sent to the Army Language School in Monterey, Calif., where he learned Russian.
While serving in Japan, he met and married the former Yasuko Takagi in 1958. They divorced in 1998.
After being discharged from the Army, he earned a bachelor's degree in 1966 in language and linguistics from Georgetown University, where he also studied Russian and Japanese.
He went to work for the Social Security Administration in Woodlawn as a programmer and later worked for Medicare's model systems.
Mr. Smith eventually held various analytical positions for the Health Care Administration. In 1983, he moved with his family to Camarillo, Calif., when he took a job with Systems Development Corp., which was later purchased by Unisys.
In 1995, he returned to Baltimore and was a Medicare contractor for CareFirst until he retired in 2010.
"He was always ready to lend a hand to anyone who was in need," said his daughter, Sara G. Lambert of Camarillo.
It wasn't uncommon for Mr. Smith, who enjoyed cooking, to prepare meals and take them to residents at AIRS House, a facility for AIDS patients.
He enjoyed attending performances and supporting the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the old Baltimore Opera Company.
Mr. Smith enjoyed entertaining and was an accomplished needlepoint worker. He was also an art collector.
He was a member of the Johns Hopkins Club.
Mr. Smith was a longtime communicant of Old St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Charles and Saratoga streets, where a memorial service will be held at noon Jan. 19.
Also surviving are a son, Charles P.T. Smith of Camarillo; two grandsons; and special friend, Gabriel Garcia of Baltimore.

I had a really weird experience today. The restuarant in my town is owned by two very religious people. This is not an exaggeration, they always have a bible on the front counter. I went in today for lunch. After taking my order, the owner held up a book she was reading, the Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn. She asked me if I read it. When I said no, she tried explaining it to me. Basically, she said that there is an obscure Bible verse that predicted the events of 9/11 and the economy collapse. She went on to say that the lost interest in Christianity and God is the reason that these events happen. Somehow even abortion got involved in her speech. I just sat there as I waited for her to finish. In the last part, she said how the Athiests were ruining the country because they will not allow crosses and Christian symbols in public places or Jesus statues on hiking trails.
First, I would like to say that I respect her right to her opinions. I may not share the same opinion, but I was not going to tear apart her beliefs. Second, I thought this was the most random discussion (if you can call it that) I ever had. I never talk religion with anyone except close family and friends. It was complete chance that I went there today. So, has anyone else had an experience like that? Did someone push their beliefs on you for no apparent reason? How did you handle the situation? Did it affect how you viewed that person afterwards?
Edit: Okay, I did not check my own forum thread for about a week, and the discussion has really veered away from my main point. That is why I am asking anyone who posts NOT to discuss what is religion and what is not. The point of the thread is to share an experience where a person shared their beliefs in a strange, out-of-left-field kind of way. Just in case, please do not put down another person's beliefs or religion just because it is against your own. There are plenty of threads for those discussions or you can make your own. Thank you for reading.
Time to move on. Start with a to-do list and go from there.
I was sitting waiting for a ride one time and someone sat down next to me outside the mall. After about 5 minutes they worked up the courage to start talking to me, asking me how I was, etc. They must have thought I was homeless or something... Within a minute they began telling me where I went wrong in life was not accepting Jesus and that if I would just turn away from sin God would make sure I was taken care of and had a home again.
I let them talk for about 10 minutes, they then asked what I thought.
I replied and told them I was just waiting for a ride to go home. They seemed rather embarrassed :|
I was like 19 at the time xD
Your experience sounds worse than my experience. At least I met this woman a few times before this happened. I cannot imagine a complete stranger starting up like that.
Time to move on. Start with a to-do list and go from there.
Idk which is worse, I'm glad it was a stranger lecturing me rather than someone I know...
At least I didn't have to worry about awkwardness between friends or anything. And if a friend or someone I knew was telling me I was homeless because of Jesus (if I was truly homeless) I'd be not only offended, but hurt that they were blaming me I feel. So I'm not sure which would be worse between stranger or person I knew.
Yeah, over here we have a crazy pro-life group called Youth defence (mainly men and old women, waste of time as abortion isn't legal here for any reason).
They go door to door occasionally and also have stalls on the streets and rallies.
Waving placards of dead foetuses in my face and trying to give me leaflets, trying to tell me how we are God's last safe haven against abortion in Europe and how we have to defend the country's Catholic stance and view. Bunch of old bigoted, rosary bead thumbing biddies.
Took all my self control not to start punching faces.
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
Yes, and it was very interesting.
MikiSayaka, I think I didn't phrase that well. What I meant was that I would be really scared if someone just randomly started that kind of conversation because I have no idea what they would do next. I kind of knew the woman I mentioned because she runs the only restuarant in town. We met maybe ten times over the course of a year. I know she is harmless. A friend probably would know not to start a religious conversation unless they have only known each other for a short while.
miserykitsune, the same thing happens everywhere. I saw someone protesting a Planned Parenthood clinic once. I do not know if abortion is even legal here (in my state). I think it is great that you take the high road.
Time to move on. Start with a to-do list and go from there.
I'm a military brat that settled down in the deep South. The buckle of the Bible Belt. There's always someone trying to save my soul. My favorites are the Jehovah's Witnesses. Clearly the Bible allows for 144,000 survivors of the apocalypse.....but there's millions of Jehovah's witnesses. Hmmmm. Math anyone?
While we were stationed in the islands my very Caucasian, Catholic, ass was quite well kicked for somehow being responsible for the pillaging of their faith several hundred years earlier. Never mind that I don't attend church, or share any groups tenets.
Does my biology teacher asking I write an essay on whether or not God exists count? If so, then yes.
*sigh* Honestly, I find the whole religious debate to be downright stupid. In particular, I really dislike it when people juxtapose science and religion when they're just so different. But, anyways, I digress.
I'm not sure if this counts, but a conversation with one of my uncles somehow turned into a lesson on what happens when you die and your soul goes to heaven. That was creepy.
I also get those door to door religious pamphlet guys, and one of those visits ended ended up with a conversation about god and the Bible. It feels awkward when they come by.
I like to completely ignore anybody trying to push any sort of religious views onto me. I'll let them believe what they want to, but I don't want them to push their views onto me. I just...I want nothing to do with it. It just stresses me out.
My previous status is even more relevant now!
Everybody has a religion no matter what they say. A religion is just a set of beliefs. Atheism is also a set of beliefs.
Might want to look up the definition of religion... just because someone claims to be an atheist does not mean they share a common belief or morale structure as another atheist. Religions are based on theism and/or structured set of beliefs. So while there are sects of religions that are not theistic they still share a common belief in a set of values. Atheism being a religion is a contradiction in terms for the majority of atheists. To say otherwise is an insult as some groups are quite strange take a look at Lefayan Satanism. Most don't want to be associated to any group that believes purely in any set of beliefs. The only thing they have agreed on is there is no supernatural.
Personally I grew up in a very religious family, and am thrown into theological debates quite often. But outside of family i try to avoid it unless they knock on my door or try to talk to me on the streets, they usually don't return or walk away quickly. Of course if I'm bored perusing forums because i cant sleep i may drop a few comments now and then, heh.
Im the one that caused it because i get frustrated when i see lies and false beliefs being spoken. by the way, religion does not mean a set of beliefs... there is only one God and one truth which means one religion and one teaching. Its pretty logical. Religion is the process of reconnecting to God. in latin religion can be broken down to "re" and "ligare" re means again and ligare means connect = reconnect. God is trying to restore what he had since the beginning, at the time of Adam, when he was one with man. everything besides the bible is man's own thinking and interpretation... which is poison. To God liars are those who add and subtract to his word. Anyways, Gods word is vey deep and it is not decodable unless it is revealed by God so pray to God for perception instead of trying to figure it out on your own because 100% wrong, ur using ur own thinking and assuming. Gods thoughts and ways are different than mans.. the difference is like the heaven and the earth.. thats a huge gap!
Live Above The Influence.
I don't want to get into one of these *discussions* even though I am an atheist, I think that the people have the right to believe in what they want, but when someone tries to force religion onto you, that's just pathetic annoying as hell, sometime's I just break out of my *view* in these matters :p

This spring, five students in Suffolk's Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) program went to Chicago for the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Congress on Healthcare Leadership.
Emma Sevigny and Debra Chassey were among those who went.
With more than 30,000 ACHE members worldwide, Congress is a chance for students to connect with leaders in the field.
"It was a lot of fun. I was able to meet a lot of great people—both students and healthcare professionals—and I attended many of the seminars," said Sevigny, who volunteered as a program assistant. She's been involved with ACHE since she was an undergraduate student.
"It's a great place to network with other healthcare administration students and professionals. Plus, you're attending seminars on key issues in today's healthcare, which you can apply in the classroom and the workplace," said Sevigny, who's working at Brigham & Women's Hospital and Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates.
Suffolk's ACHE student liaison Chassey agreed.
"We had access to ACHE executives and speakers, and the atmosphere was one of connecting and sharing. I have always been a believer that networking is essential to learning, innovation, and mentorship; and Congress was no exception," she said.
Chassey volunteered as a program assistant and attended several presentations. But what she found most helpful were the career resources.
"Beyond the seminars and networking opportunities, Congress offers career guidance. Industry specialists provided interviewing and resume consulting services at no charge," Chassey said. She hopes to become an ACHE fellow in the near future.

I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel.
*without all her stage makeup, of course.
Bjorks album covers have always been visual feasts, reflecting the spirit of the music inside while helping to maintain Björk's status as a brilliant artist. A new addition to the collection is always exciting, but the unveiling of the artwork for Volta (due out May 7 in the UK and May 8 in the U.S. on One Little Indian/Atlantic) is extra special, as Pitchfork was able to discuss the image with Björk herself.
(For part one of Brandon Stosuy's interview with Björk, click here. For part two, here. And part three, here!)
As you can see, the photo's bright colors contrast sharply with the muted tones of the covers of her last two albums, Medulla and Vespertine. This mirrors the sound of Volta, which was inspired by the universal urge to dance.
"All I wanted to do for this album was just to have fun and do something that was full-bodied and really up," Björk told Stosuy in the first part of their chat. The album cover is meant to evoke pagan femininity and, to some degree, feminism, which is a running theme throughout the music of Volta. "It's not necessarily about me as a woman, but just women," Björk told Stosuy. "Kind of that long leap of 10,000 years back, when they [were] in harmony with nature, and just little things like the fact that there are 13 full moons in a year and most women have certain things happening to them 13 times a year, but Christianity wanted to have 12 months, just to try to put that off."
Conflict with conventional organized religion is another undercurrent of Volta. "It's about being exhausted with the self-importance of religion, and thinking, 'okay, wait a minute, maybe we are one tribe, and we're actually part of nature,'.
"I was reading a lot of books the last couple of years, especially about things that interest me a lot, like neuroscience, about the two hemispheres and about how we actually are animal species, and, like, female medicine from nature, and how Christianity forced us to ignore nature and the body. There's a lot of interesting books being written by my generation of scientists that they're kind of looking at things slightly differently from how I was taught about it, at least when I was 12.
"It's sort of trying to put out some good vibes for the little princesses out there. There are actually other things than losing a glass slipper. I mean, part of it was having a little daughter and realizing, what are we telling girls? All these books out there about finding your prince. All these little girls, all they want to do is be pretty and find their prince, and I'm like, what happened to feminism here?"
"I also wanted to have some sort of shaman sort of voodoo thing, to get rid of a lot of tension. But in a happy way, not as a destructive thing, more like a celebration."
The voodoo/shaman aspect is most evident in the Volta promotional shots, the album's inside artwork, and the cover of the first single, "Earth Intruders", which will be released as a digital download on April 9. A taste of that artwork is visible on Bjork's website right now.
"It was a magical atmosphere in the photo shoot. It was kind of fun, because it wasn't about me, it was about this sort of spirit of-- like a woman who is kind of...into rave, no I'm just kidding. Like, a sort of celebration of that ancient, but at the same time kind of neon." ~Pitchfork

It's what that reporter saw after getting a face full of bee-jeork fist.
Is she going to be worth my time seeing??
Ive got the demons in me, Ive got to brush them all away.......
I saw her at Red Rocks a few years ago I was so dissapointed. I bet she puts on a great show for coachella though.
You know, that tour's set list was kind of a let down. It was all Homogenic and Vespertine material, and although those albums are great, I would have liked a bigger spread of songs. Still a great show though.
She is always worth seeing. Not only because she is an amazing artist, but also because the opporotunities to see her are few and far between.
Earth Intruders already leaked. It's a piping hot track. I still disapprove of that photo.
the fuck is this about though?
that album cover is old and ugly
You know what they say about Icelandic women with big blue feet.

Student or Learner
Hi everybody,
first of all I would like to thanks to all people who help this idea to work.
I would like to ask you if you could help me to correct my motivation letter to University? It is very important for me, you know, it is my future:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I appreciate this opportunity to provide further background information in support of my application for entrance to IB master program. I strongly believe that both my educational background and deep concern in this field of study make me a very good candidate for the program.
I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Law and international trade from Masaryk University, faculty of law, in 2009. I also study European economy, administrative and cultural studies at Masaryk University, economics and administrative faculty, where I will obtain bachelor´s degree in June 2010. Studying two different programs at two different faculties taught me excellent time management and organizational skills.
As my aim is to work at higher managerial position in an international field, during my studies I put emphasis on business area, with an international focus. I took additional courses with the focus on finance, international business and languages. This was the main reason why I chose fachhochschule in Vienna for my exchange studying program: its courses are practical oriented and different cultural background of its students creates grate preparation for the future.
To gain more practical experience I also worked beside my studies. First, I worked in IT company, where I was assigned as marketing and administrative assistant. I gained a lot of experience in organization of work, teamworking and communication. I took my second work experience working for consultancy company as Administration Manager and Researcher. I tremendously enjoyed my experience working at Future cities forum because I had the opportunity to participate in analyzing and researching of market, developing new company´s webside and organizing of conference. These opportunities strengthened my skills in independent work, communication with customers and organization.
My interest in the IB program has much to do with the information I acquired about its excellent interdisciplinary program and some great references about the University from media and also my friends. Im convinced that the IB program would provide me with the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills I need for a successful business management in the future. The highly qualified lecturer and the academic environment will enable me to achieve my goals.
The International Business requires an international approach. Therefore, I want to study at the University of Economics in an international environment. I want to learn and work together with students and teachers from all over the world. I have the same experience from my current studies at Vienna and I found it challenging but also very beneficial to my future development.
I realize the highly competitive demands of the program, but I have enough ability, ambition and motivation to cope with the requirements for a successful study at the University. I am eager to gain new experiences and in my opinion this program is the best way to achieve that. I am positive that the University of Economics in Prague and especially IB master program would be an excellent start for an ambitious business career. Therefore I would be very proud and happy if I were allowed to enroll for the IBEB program at your prestigious University, so that I could prove you and myself of my motivation to fulfill my goals.
Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely yours,
