Clute International Conference on Education Orlando
2-6 January, 2018
Orlando, Florida, United States of America
Submission Deadline: December 4, 2017 (Miss a deadline? Contact our office.)
The Clute Institute, established in 1985, hosts the International Conference on Education (ICE) to promote excellence in academic research.
Please join us for the Clute International Conference on Education Orlando. The aim of the conference is to provide an opportunity for researchers to present their ideas, proposals, or completed research in all areas of education to an international audience. Since 20 to 30 different countries are typically represented, presenting at this conference is a great way to get feedback from researchers with a different perspective. An extensive list of acceptable topics is available on our website. Blind peer reviews are available upon request.
We will be returning to the Disney's Boardwalk Inn located within the Walt Disney World Resort. In addition to the International Conference on Education, we are also hosting the International Academic Conference on Business & the Conference on Technology in Education which will be held concurrently; one registration covering all three.

SITS (Safe Implementation of Treatments in Stroke) is a non-profit, research-driven, independent, international collaboration, with its base at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. SITS is an initiative by the medical profession to provide safe implementation of stroke treatment in routine clinical practice. SITS vision is to reduce the global burden of stroke; by improving the stroke outcome, preventing recurrent stroke and find the best treatments. This will help the authorities to monitor new treatments and set new guidelines. This will also increase the quality of life for stroke patients and save lives.
International network
SITS provides an international network for stroke professionals. The network and the registry benefit all key participants. This includes patients, researchers, participating clinics, nations, regions, regulatory bodies and pharmaceutical companies. The network currently consists of over 3000 stroke professionals in over 70 countries. By being a member of the network you have access to internationally renowned researchers and have the opportunity to be part of high-impact studies. Also regional networks strengthen research within their region.
SITS offers a world-leading platform for high quality stroke data from over 200 000 patients in over 1600 stroke centres. The platform is an internet-based interactive stroke registry, which serves as a tool for structured data entry and is an instrument for centres to compare their own treatment results with national and global performance. The registry is free to use and has several interactive data entry forms such as IV Thrombolysis, Thrombectomy, Atrial fibrillation, and General stroke registry.
SITS studies have generated more than fifty publications in international peer reviewed journals over the last years and many of these are in high impact journals, e.g. the Lancet, the Lancet Neurology, BMJ, Ann Neurology, Neurology and Stroke. These publications have had an impact on clinical practice such as extending time window for iv thrombolysis and iv thrombolysis for elderly 80 years.

We continue our guest blog series with commercial lending attorney Bennett Cohen of the law firm Cohen, Salk & Huvard, P.C. You may also want to check out his eBook: Important Revisions To Article 9′s Rules Regarding Individual Debtors.
Perfection in Titled Vehicles: Will a lender's notation of its lien on a certificate of title for a vehicle always perfect the lender's security interest?
Answer: No. The general rule is that perfection in titled motor vehicles is achieved by registering the lender's lien on the certificates of title. However, a significant exception is that if the vehicles are classified as "inventory" in the hands of the borrower, perfection is achieved solely by filing a UCC against the borrower covering such inventory. Vehicles held for sale or lease (or which are leased) by a borrower who is a vehicle dealer or leasing company would be classified as "inventory" under the Code and require a UCC filing for perfection. When dealing with vehicle inventory, registering a lender's lien on the certificates of title is ineffective to perfect a security interest in the vehicles. Without the required UCC filing on a borrower's vehicle inventory, the security interest is unperfected with regard to all creditors, including a bankruptcy trustee.

HOPE 4 OUR CHILDREN is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Washington DC Metro area, United States, focusing on helping economically disadvantaged children with their 4 (four) basic needs, which are food, shelter, health, and education. The hallmark of our organization is transparency within management application, fostering initiative, and encouraging teamwork within native communities. The organization's work includes research and obtain opportunities for personal, physical, emotional, and educational development of children in need. Please browse our website carefully. You can always help the children by simply donating a small amount of money, even a dollar would mean so much.
Hope 4 Our Children's Vision
There will be no child in any corner of the world that sleeps hungry and is deprived of the opportunity to pursue happiness and a better future.
Hope 4 Our Children's Mission
Hope 4 Our Children's mission is to raise the standard of living for children who live in poverty in order to meet their potential as productive and nurturing citizens of the world.
Success Stories
In 2006, Hope 4 Our Children started livelihood training of baking at Subulussalam Orphanage Boarding School in Aceh by funding various cooking equipment to make cookies and cakes. The live-in children were given responsibility to make cookies and cake to sell as a source of income for the institution. One of the live-in children was an orphan girl named Subur. She mastered her cookery skill when she was given the responsibility to make cookies at the Orphanage Boarding School while completing her High School Degree. With a specific culinary skill of baking black forest cakes, Subur was able to finance her entire college education. It was the cookery skill that she learned at the Orphanage Boarding School that enable her achieve her bachelor degree in early 2011. Her brother, Jujuri, followed Subur's footstep in making and selling cakes. He completed his bachelor degree at the end of 2011.
"...The livelihood skills training started with cake and cookies production and chicken farm that Hope 4 Our Children financed in 2006. … These skills have proven to help generate extra income for orphans to complete their bachelor degree. The routine schedules of cooking responsibilities help them learn to multitask between their study and their cooking obligation for the institution. It is self management skill that helps them get through. …There were at least 10 orphans who received their bachelor degree after Subussalam Orphanage Boarding School implemented projects with Hope 4 Our Children's help. … These livelihood workshops not only help train the orphans, but also generate extra income for the Orphanage Boarding School in order to bring in more orphans in need of assistance."
—Elly Risman, Director of Subulussalam Orphanage Boarding School, Aceh
Hope 4 Our Children works to create a lasting, sustainable program for economically disadvantaged children. We learned that Dayah Babulilmi, an orphanage Boarding School that Hope 4 Our Children helped in 2006, received recognition in June 2011 as a model orphanage boarding school in provincial level of Aceh. They were given an award because of its live in students' partaking in home economics programs (Pendidikan Kesejahteraan Keluarga). This is a huge accomplishment for an orphanage boarding school that had an influx of 87 tsunami orphans in 2004 with no hope to provide its live in children with merely food. Hope 4 Our Children came in to Dayah Babulilmi in early 2005 with funding to build a dorm for 100 live-in girls mostly being tsunami orphans, and the duck farm project. As the dorm construction was completed and occupied with orphan girls, and the duck farm has started to produce 100 eggs daily, private donors and local government officials began to give notice to the institution's significant development. From various donors, they bought embroidery and sewing machines and trained its students. In the backyard, they plant traditional remedies from various Indonesian herbs. They built and rent out paddy granary that brings in sufficient profit to secure its 150 live in students to pay for school fees and uniform for formal education. Throughout the years after the tsunami, those live in orphans eagerly participate in various livelihood trainings and grow to be more involved in establishing the institution's home economics program and income generating activities. Accomplishment like this one makes it clear that we are headed in the right direction.

The Ministry regards the citizens' and media's entitlement to information as a matter with significant importance, which is to be fulfilled within the limits of the statutory provisions.
Actively pursued public relations with the public and media aim to enhance the public's understanding of jurisdiction and serve to create trust in the judiciary, with its institutions and decisions.
The media's entitlement to information may sometimes collide with certain principles, rights, or legally safeguarded interests. These include the presumption of innocence, the parties' and process participants' personality rights, the obligation to conduct fair and uninfluenced judicial proceedings, as well as the general concern of maintaining an independent and objective jurisdiction. It lies in the nature of public relations to maintain a balance between these conflicting interests and constitutionally protected rights in a manner complying with the rule of law.

Not Pretty Winter January 25, 2008Posted by Victoria Fredericks in Archives, Writing.
Tags: prose, winter
add a comment
I was 17 when I wrote this, and probably 19 when I wrote the "commentary" for the website I had at the time. I still love this piece, though. So be kind!
Commentary: This was a school assignment given to me in late November 2002 by Mr. Coolidge, a teacher I will always remember. The assignment was to sit outside in nature for 20 minutes and write a prose piece about what we observed. The other students grumbled, but I was ecstatic–it wasn't often that year that I was given the chance to be so creative and descriptive, the two aspects of my writing style I most enjoy. This piece didn't have a title, but I decided to title it after a phrase in the first line, that I thought was quite intriguing.
It's not pretty winter outside. It's the kind of winter that came too quickly and didn't let autumn finish. It's bitter cold and viciously windy. The gusts of wind blow the leaves around and make them dance on the hard, icy snow. The leaves aren't bright anymore, but instead are all the same monotone shade of brown, crumpled and floating over everything, clinging desperately to the tree limbs.
The sky has bunches and bunches of clouds, the colors ranging from off-gray-white to deep, forboding charcoal. In tiny pockets, little pieces of baby blue sky peek through. The wind keeps gusting, right through my clothes, sucking the breath out of me. It is so cold. Everything is icy and slippery.
The only colors are gray, black, white and brown; different shades. The spindly gray tree branches scratch at the sky, the crumpled fragments of unfallen leaves still clinging to them in the wind. Plants that were once lush and green in the summer have died and withered, turning into a fragile web of delicate brown stems and shriveled leaves, dark in contrast to the gray-white snow, like old Victorian lace.
There are some adorable, gray, round-bellied birds sitting at the feeder. A chickadee perches on a branch for a few seconds, cocks her head, and flies away. They're so skittish, they seem to live in fear of everything. I would hate to always feel like I had to run away from something that might hurt me.
Night falls quickly, and the sky becomes dark with clouds, transparent where the almost-full moon shines bluish-white through them. The wind is howling fiercely, making the most haunting noises as it rushes through the trees. It is frighteningly noisy, and not at all peaceful or calm. The navy blue velvet sky above is open in places, revealing a few glittering stars.
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum December 17, 2007Posted by Victoria Fredericks in Archives, Art, Culture.

Note: Dated
When: August 18th, 2005 | Where: Boston, Massachusetts
My [former] grandmother-in-law and I stumbled upon the Gardner Museum completely by mistake–credit my forgetfulness. We were supposed to be visiting the Museum of Fine Arts during our Boston visit, but I (naturally) forgot the all-important discounted passes I made such a fuss about getting from my local library. Kate had mentioned something about this to me one time when we were waiting at the DMV (that's a whole other story!) and it seemed interesting; neither one of us had ever been before. I wasn't sure what to expect–something along the lines of an old lady's house. I didn't expect it to be so grand or so impactive.
A little background: Isabella Stewart Gardner (married to John L. Gardner) was a wealthy socialite in the mid 1800s (1840-1923); she loved Boston's local culture almost as she loved traveling the world. Her passion was apparent from the moment we stepped into the museum–at one time, the Gardner Museum was her home–and an incredibly stunning one at that; completely unique from anything you could possibly imagine. All 2,500 works of art, sculpture, furniture, tapestries (13 of its finest–estimated at $100 million–were stolen in 1990 and are still missing)–ranging from ancient to mid 19th-century and collected from over 30 countries–have been preserved (for the most part) the way she had arranged them, because that was her parting wish–for all the beautiful things she collected on her travels to be displayed for posterity.
The collection amassed at the Gardner Museum is something more stunning than any museum display I have ever seen. Instead of the harsh halogenic glow and curated atmosphere; I felt as if I had been taken back in time, looking into each room, at each painting, at each sculpture. The courtyard is the most notable–the museum is built around it; with its 240 A.D. mosaic surrounded by stone statues and a graceful fountain on the back wall. It is serene, beautiful, magical; untouched and essentially unchanged since Isabella was alive. Kate and I were completely slack-jawed in amazement as we visited each room, commenting on things as we passed. What struck us most was the intricate detail of everything, and the rich, beautiful history–the art was sensational and deeply moving.
The only way to explain the enchantment of the Gardner Museum is to go there yourself. It's such a gem of Boston. The things that I found the most interesting were the furniture (you just don't see curves, paint detailing, scroll work) like that anymore–it's all pre-fab and everyone's got the same stuff unless it's antique) and the ancient Greek sculptures, as well as the religious art. Isabella was a brilliant decorator. She styled her home in an Old-World eclectic style, mixing things from different places and times and arranging them in often quirky and atypical ways. Our visit was fascinating and inspiring–I truly think it was a one-of-a-kind experience I was lucky to have.

If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being
Jerry Falwell was a man who lived by the Good Book. He was a dedicated Compassionate Conservative Christian with a mission to protect America from those who sought to destroy it. According to the official stance of Jerry Falwell, the enemies of America include Gays, Muslims, Jews, Liberals, Activist Judges, The ACLU, The Clenis, The United Nations, Old Europe, your next door neighbors, your sister, your parents, your brother, your grandparents ... Come to think of it, it is probably easier to list those whom Falwell did not consider enemies of America: George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Pat Robertson, the Moral Majority, anyone who donates to Jerry Falwell Ministries, and Jerry Falwell. All others are enemies of the state.
The Life and Times of a Great Man of GodEdit
Jerry Lamon Falwell (July 4, 1776-May 15, 2007), was born in Lynchburg, Virginia (and no, they didn't lynch people, it's a fact). The Right Reverend Falwell was an evangelical pastor that Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ personally ordained to preach The Good News to the United States. Reverend Falwell founded the Moral Majority in 1979 in order to better reach the masses of unsaved hedonistic Americans who wished to convert to Christianity and send donations to his ministry. He also founded Liberty University in 1971, the Elim Home for alcohol and drug dependent men, and the Liberty Godparent Home, a ministry for women and girls dealing with crisis pregnancies. Indeed, Falwell was among the great founders of American history, unparalleled in his ability to discover new groups of the lost so that he could find them and gain their trust, along with their financial support for his many ministries.
Falwell Ministries: The Love / Hate ChroniclesEdit
Jerry Falwell was God's righteous servant who, through the Moral Majority and Liberty University, managed to teach thousands of Christians about God's love and its fulfillment through mankind's hate.
The Reverend Falwell hated everything that was Un-American and Un-Christian, and he taught that righteous hatred to every poor, unschooled student who entered Liberty University a non-hating Un-American, Un-Christian soul. Required courses at the University of Loving Hatred include Abortion Clinic Bombing 101, Advanced Pipe Bomb Design 220, and Liberal Myths of Capital Punishment 200. Thus, through his unique devotion to each and every student's personal development, Falwell was able to impart his own values of hatred for baby killers and love of killing criminals.The evidence of the Reverend's successful pedagogy can be seen in the fact that one of his devoted students was arrested on the very day of Falwell's funeral for putting Liberty University teachings to the test. It seems that this student learned Reverend Falwell's philosophy of loving hatred so well that he hand-crafted explosives with which he planned to eulogize his beloved teacher should anyone feel the need to picket at the Reverend Falwell's funeral. Jerry must be smiling down from Heaven today at his success in molding this fine young mind.
Yes, Falwell taught his students to love as he love and hate as he hated. He hated Cindy Sheehan because she is a coward who doesn't support the troops and is probably a lesbian or a muslim or both. But he deeply loved Samuel Alito, in whom he saw a great ray of hope for securing a Supreme Court Justice who might finally bring an end to the abomination of abortion. He hated the Teletubbies but loved Pat Robertson. Falwell especially hated the gays and lesbians, but he loved watching all girl mud wrestling.
The gays gave Falwell's love and hate focus for many years, but in the latter years of the Reverend's life the growing practice of gay and/or lesbian adoption created some difficulties for him. With the advent of this new abomination, it became much harder for Jerry to teach his students the proper determination of the hierarchy of hatred. A growing sense of Christian Evangelical Relativism began to sneak into the Moral Majority as it became almost impossible to say whether a plain gay, a gay abortionist, or a gay adopter was the most worthy target of God's hate. Nonetheless, special levels of hell were obviously reserved for each. For them, Rev. Falwell created a special ministry: Christians Are Saving Homosexuals (CASH)!
The important thing to remember, especially now that Jerry is gone, is that true Men of God must hate others in order to save them and allow for God's will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Hallelujah!
If we are going to save America and evangelize the world, we cannot accommodate secular philosophies that are diametrically opposed to Christian truth ... We need to pull out all the stops to recruit and train 25 million Americans to become informed pro-moral activists whose voices can be heard in the halls of Congress. I am convinced that America can be turned around if we will all get serious about the Master's business. It may be late, but it is never too late to do what is right. We need an old-fashioned, God-honoring, Christ-exalting revival to turn American back to God. America can be saved! -- Jerry Falwell, "Moral Majority Report," September, 1984
God's Wisdom, Falwell's Mouth Edit
While over the years many sinners and disbelievers may have claimed that Reverend Falwell's actions seemed "self-serving" or his words "unbalanced," "crazy," "f*&ing insane," or even "dangerous," what such heretical doubters could not see was the close relationship the Reverend shared with The Lord. For, lo, in every generation one (sometimes two, occasionally as many as five) is chosen to act as the very mouthpiece of Our Father on America's Planet. In the Jew Testament, for example, you've got your Moses, your Joshua, your Isaiah, your Ezekiel, Isiazekiel, Hezekiah, Josehemoses, and all those other prophets. In the Holy Bible, we meet John the Baptist, who speaks the words of God at the time of Jesus's baptism, when he says "This is my son, in whom I am well pleased."
Contrary to secular progressive belief, the tradition of God speaking through human representatives did not end in ancient times. There are still those lone voices, crying in the wilderness today, there to tell us how well pleased, or more often, how well displeased God is with us today. One such modern-day prophet was Jerry Falwell. Like the prophet Joshua of old, every time ol' Falwell opened his gaping yaw of a mouth, the words of God just came a tumblin' down.
Falwell Fights the Great Beast(s)EditThe late Jerry Falwell, or Saint Falwell, as he should now be properly known, battled with many people who have the mark of the beast. One such villian is the vile publisher of filth Larry Flynt. Falwell sued Larry Flynt for libel after the smut publisher published an ad in which Flynt claimed that Falwell's first sexual encounter was with his mother in an outhouse (a photograph of the event was included). Falwell's suit claimed that this was utterly false and that his first time was actually with a 6' 3" male prostitute drag queen in the back of a 1954 Nash Metropolitan convertible.
Falwell won the suit, Larry Flynt was forced out of business, and Hustler magazines were no more. This incident marked Jerry's first great victory on behalf of The Baby Jesus.
In the late 1990's, Reverend Falwell again stared into the eyes of Satan, this time in the form of America's own President. During that dark period of history, the Moral Majority had come under increased attack, largely due to the influence that liberals and gays held over the mainstream cultural. However, Jerry Falwell would not allow his ministry to be defeated, and used his role as God's mouthpiece to shout truthiness from the metaphoric rooftops (Jerry was so prophetistic that he did this work even before Stephen Colbert coined the term "truthiness"). Reverend Falwell lead the Moral Majority to take up a blistering battle upon the Clenis by making the Clinton Chronicles, which exposed the Clinton Administration for the murderous, lying, and cheating hacks that they truthily were.
The Reverend Falwell never faltered in his ability to speak for God, even when it caused discomfort for his fellow humans. He dismissed charges of "insensitivity," "bigotry," and "hate speech," because Jerry knew that he was fighting God's fight. When you stare a demon in the eye, you don't blink, and Jerry never apologized for fighting God's enemies on earth. Whether those enemies were specific individuals like Flynt or Clinton, or groups of people like gays, abortionists, feminists, or the ACLU, Reverend Falwell always knew that he was on the side of God, and God was on his side. Thus, he could fight the evil within the heart of America itself by speaking thus in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001:
I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say "you helped this happen."
Mr. Falwell was raptured on May 15, 2007. For some strange reason, those in attendence noted a scent of sulfur as he passed away, and a sound of cackling in the distance. Probably just something he ate.

Here is a little reminder of what televisions looked like around the mid-1960s. For those who like me are old enough to remember those wood boxed televisions I hope this is a nostalgic treat, and helps to recall the few hours a week that we used to spend watching TV back then. For younger readers I hope you enjoy discovering how much technology has moved on in the last 40 or so years. TV shows of all kinds are now available on all sorts of devices, from flat thin LED TVs to portable devices like smartphones and laptops – life hasn't always been that exciting or overwhelming!
EKCO T434. 19″. Introduced c.1963/4. Photo found at 405 TV – Gallery 1
The photo of an EKCO 19 inch Black & White TV is of a very similar TV to one I watched around 1967. I seem to recall my Dad bringing a TV home one evening, probably by getting a lift with a friend from work. He set it up on top of a old cupboard or sideboard in the living room. It wasn't the instant switch on and watch I was expecting. There was the small matter of tuning the TV to a station and catching the signal first.
In 1967 there were only 3 TV channels in the UK – BBC1, BBC2 and ITV – all only broadcast in black & white, with a gradual introduction of colour transmissions, region by region, from 1969 with a whole new network of transmitters being built into the early 70s. Many TV sets, like the one pictured, had a dial that turned to find the channel. Pre-set channel buttons were available on some models, but I mostly recall dial tuning on TVs that I saw. Finding a station, even if the picture was snowy and faint was an achievement that could take many minutes, sometimes longer if the TV aerial wasn't positioned correctly to begin with.
Like many homes of that era there was no TV aerial installed on the building, so an indoor antenna had to be used. That was a very hit and miss game, with a lot of time spent holding the antenna and moving it up and down and around in every possible direction, like some sort of strange incantation of the TV picture in ritual dance, attempting to catch the signal. The picture below shows a few examples of antenna similar to ones my Dad used.
A few 'rabbits ear' TV antenna from the USA in the 1950s, that were still commonplace in the 60s and very similar to those available in the UK. Photo from the Vintage Television Antenna page of GodarUSA.
Once the signal of a station had been found, and the antenna contorted and positioned in just the right place, we would settle down to enjoy a favourite show, like Pinky & Perky or Tarzan. However, the show was often interrupted by the need to correct the signal, either with the TV dial or by repositioning the antenna. Interference from atmospheric disturbance and other electrical devices was common. Even moving around in the room, like dancing and singing along with a song tended to disturb the signal and spoil the show. Changing channels was likely to mean starting the whole performance over again!
TV sets in the 1960s also had another painfully frustrating problem – valves! The picture could suddenly be lost, with just the sound of the show continuing to come from the set, when the valve 'blew'. With the sort of set we had, a blown valve was a fairly common event, possibly due to another fault with the electrics in the back of the box, or poor quality replacement valves. For an idea of what the inside of the TV looked like with the back off see the photo below. All TV's had a sticker on the cardboard back cover, warning that removing the screws and opening the back risked the danger of electrocution! That wasn't an empty threat just to deter DIY repairs, there really was a danger of a severe or even fatal electric shock – not that such warnings stopped my Dad, although he was wary of electrics and kept us kids well away from the TV when it was opened up.
An example of the inside the back of a TV from the 1960s. For the technology buffs this is an MURPHY V849U 19″, but most TVs from that era looked fairly similar to this. Photo from 405 TV – Gallery 4.
An example of a typical replacement valve common for the efficient working of various parts of the circuits in the back of all TVs in the 1950 and 60s. Photo from The National Valve Museum – Valves and their habits.
Although I can remember watching TV several times a week back in the mid-1960s, I can also recall disappointments of blown valves when favourite shows were due on. We didn't always have a TV until as late as 1980, as we simply couldn't afford to buy a new one and second-hand TVs were not all that reliable. We had a few fairly long lasting TVs in the 1970s, but there were also gaps of many months in my regular TV viewing too. Now, with an overwhelming array of channels and ways to watch it, I find myself enjoying reading blogs and watching home made videos on YouTube, instead of viewing regular TV. I do make an exception for Doctor Who, a show from 1963, that has been enjoying a popular revival in the last few years – I still enjoy watching it, as it is broadcast, on a standard TV.

Game Changers of Comedy: "Professor" Irwin Corey
December 14, 2016 Bridget Flaherty Features, Game Changers
December 14, 2016 Bridget Flaherty Features, Game Changers
Once booked as "The World's Foremost Authority," and arguably one of the oldest comedians alive today, "Professor" Irwin Corey is a game changer. He has transcended through Vaudeville, Broadway, radio, TV, and movies. He shared the big screen with Bob Hope and Jackie Gleason in the only movie the two ever made together, How to Commit Marriage. In 1960, he ran for president on Hugh Hefner's Playboy ticket. At 102, he still makes stage appearances, and in his free time, he panhandles for money to send Cuban children medical supplies. Corey is a one of a kind.
Like many comedians, the Professor's childhood was hard. Born in 1914, his father left the family early on, and his mother, stricken with tuberculosis, sent her children to be raised at the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum. For $30 a month, she paid for their stay there to avoid adoption. While at the asylum, Corey developed his knack for comedy by making the other children laugh. Around 15 years old, he hopped on a boxcar to Los Angeles and enrolled himself in Belmont High School.
He joined the Civilian Conservation Corps, a byproduct of FDR's New Deal for single, detached men. Through the CCC, he boxed and was quite successful at it as an 112 pound fighter. Eventually, he got his taste for the stage while performing in Pots and Pans on the Borscht Circuit, later known as the Catskills. By 1938, he was in New York City and writing for comedy revues. He started to hit the nightclubs, such as the Village Vanguard.
Corey is also known for his leftist political views. He met his late wife of 70 years while in a communist camp. Later, he would mention how his affiliation with the party had him blacklisted. He also was drafted into World War II, but the comic managed to get discharged on the account of convincing a psychiatrist he was gay. He was able to keep working and became a writer and performer for the New Faces of 1943, a Broadway comedy revue.
The Professor developed his comic persona in the 1940s. In his act, even today, he wears a disheveled tuxedo with sneakers. His hair stands in all directions. He pulls out pieces of papers almost as though he has forgotten what he came out to say. Sometimes, he looks at the paper and smirks like he is reading a secret joke. Then, he begins, "However…" At the top of the bit, he starts with a word that usually comes in the middle or as a rebuttal. Corey is the king of doubletalk, a skill which plays on words to provoke confusion and amusement.
He earned the name "Professor" by using big words without really saying anything at all. In 1974, he accepted the National Book Fiction Award Citation on the requested behalf of Thomas Pynchon for his book, Gravity's Rainbow. Corey had this to say in the acceptance speech, "Today we must all be aware that protocol takes precedence over procedure. However you say – WHAT THE – what does this mean… in relation to the tabulation whereby we must once again realize that the great fiction story is now being rehearsed before our very eyes, in the Nixon administration… indicating that only an American writer can receive…the award for fiction, unlike Solzinitski whose fiction doesn't hold water." His words, while nonsensical, were still able to take a jab at the Nixon administration.
Even at 100, Corey has maintained his improvisational and quick witted style. On his birthday, he said, "Ten years ago, we had Johnny Cash. We had Bob Hope and Steve Jobs. Today, 10 years later, there's no cash. There's no hope. There's no jobs." Eighty some years in the biz, the guy still has it, and it is practically poetry.

Will there be a release date soon though?
Posted By Oliver VanDervoort | On 19th, Jul. 2015 Under News
We knew that Square Enix had planned to show off Final Fantasy 15 at this year's Gamescom but it appears the company is making sure everyone knows just how much attention they're giving the game. A recent blog post on the game's official website lays out the plans for the game at the gaming conference, saying it will be taking up the "main stage." The post points out that there will be "exciting stage presentations with key people that will offer us new insights into the ever elusive game."
While Square Enix is clearly looking to bring quite a bit of attention to Final Fantasy 15, that won't be the only game it's showing off at Gamescom. In fact, the firm is going to be displaying the PC version of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, and Episode Duscae 2.0. Most of those on the list will have some sort of demo so people can get a better look at what the company has on tap.
What we don't know yet is if Square Enix is going to finally come up with a release date that we can all look forward to when it comes to the game. The company is saying that this particular show is the biggest in the Company's history. If the event truly is as big as they're touting, it could mean a very big year in general for the firm. We'll have to wait and see just how much they show off when Gamescom officially launches in Cologne Germany starting August 5 and lasting until August 8.

Exhibition | Divine Visions, Earthly Pleasures
Press release (27 June 2017) for the exhibition now on view at BAMPFA:
Divine Visions, Earthly Pleasures: Five Hundred Years of Indian Painting
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, 22 June — 10 September 2017
Curated by Robert J. Del Bontà
This summer, the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) presents a new exhibition of paintings that encompasses five hundred years of Indian art-making traditions. Divine Visions, Earthly Pleasures: Five Hundred Years of Indian Painting draws on the institution's extensive holdings of Asian art, in particular a renowned collection of more than three hundred works donated to BAMPFA in 1998. Guest curated by the distinguished Indian art scholar Robert J. Del Bontà, the exhibition is on view from June 28 through September 10, 2017.
Divine Visions, Earthly Pleasures comprises more than sixty paintings from BAMPFA's collection, representing a vast range of Indian art and cultural history from the early fifteenth through twentieth centuries. Reflecting the distinctive collecting interests of Jean and Francis Marshall—whose gift forms the core of BAMPFA's Indian art holdings—the works display a diverse array of subject matter, ranging from early religious traditions and aristocratic portraiture to romantic narratives and musical performances. By presenting some early extant examples of Indian painting alongside more recent works, the exhibition illuminates common aesthetic conventions—in particular a subtle interplay between realistic and abstract forms that emerges as a persistent theme across centuries of artistic practice.
"Since Jean and Francis Marshall's transformative gift in 1998, BAMPFA's Asian art holdings have grown to be one of the defining strengths of our encyclopedic collection, and we're thrilled to highlight that strength with a show that brings some of most exceptional of these works together for the first time in years," said Lawrence Rinder, director and chief curator of BAMPFA. "We are especially grateful to our friend and colleague Robert J. Del Bontà for providing a fresh scholarly perspective on these paintings that will allow our visitors to rediscover them in a new and illuminating context."
"For more than five hundred years, the Indian subcontinent has nurtured some of the world's most vibrant and distinctive painting traditions, which are richly encapsulated in BAMFPA's remarkable collection," said Del Bonta, who previously served as research associate and guest curator at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. "The works in this exhibition present subtle interplays between representational and abstract aesthetics and between sacred and secular subject matter—often in a single painting. It's a pleasure to partner with BAMPFA in sharing these breathtaking works with the public."
Divine Visions, Earthly Pleasures: Five Hundred Years of Indian Painting is organized by guest curator Robert J. Del Bontà, with funding provided by the Asian Art Endowment Fund.

Ohio student killed after being tasered by university police had been stunned before
A student who died after being shot with a Taser by campus police had also been shocked with a stun gun last year, it has emerged.
Everette Howard, from Cincinatti, went into cardiac arrest after being struck by the stun gun on Saturday after police were responding to reports of an assault.
The 18-year-old, who was due to attend the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky, was said to have approached a campus police officer with clenched fists.
Tasered: The coroner revealed that Everette Howard, pictured with a friend, had also been shocked with a stun gun and rushed to hospital last year
Authorities at the University of Cincinnati said he was told to remain still, but continued to walk towards the campus officer.
Everette was struck once by the Taser which can discharge an electric shock of up to 50,000 volts.
Cardiac arrest: Everette Howard died after being tased by a gun
When he collapsed to the ground the officer checked his condition, and in his report said he appeared incoherent and seemed to have an 'altered mental status'.
Paramedics attended the stricken student and while they were with him he went into cardiac arrest. He was later pronounced dead at hospital.
Hamilton County Coroner Amant Bhati told The Cincinnati Enquirer the teen also had been shocked with a stun gun and then rushed to a hospital last year.
Mr Bhati didn't share other details about that incident.
Two investigations have been launched because of the incident.
An internal investigation will look into the use of force by the officer, who was immediately placed on mandatory administrative leave.
University chiefs have also suspended the use of Tasers until it can determine what caused the teen's death.
Everette, who was a stand out wrestler at his school, had been attending college preparatory classes at the University of Cincinnati.
He is said to have finished in the top ten per cent of his class this Spring.
Scene: Chiefs at the University of Cincinnati (pictured) have suspended the use of Tasers until it can determine what caused the teen's death
Promising future: Everette Howard was captain of the wrestling and football teams at at North College Hill High School
The university's assistant police chief, Jeff Corcoran, said campus police were called to a the Turner Hall dorm room in the early hours of the morning over a report on an assault.
When they arrived they saw Everette who police said appeared angry and agitated.
Corcoran says officers ordered the teen to back off, but he refused. He was then hit once by an officer's stun gun.
An autopsy has been ordered.
'I want to emphasize we don't know what the cause of the death is at this point,' Corcoran said.
The second investigation is trying to determine what initiated the original 911 call and whether an assault has taken place.
There have been no arrests or criminal charges filed.
'We are extremely unhappy and upset at the outcome of this call,' Corcoran said. 'No one wants to see the death of an 18-year-old. It was not anyone's intention. The officer is very distraught.'

Here are some slightly rose colored glasses for your summer enjoyment in the Serengeti Gloria Sunglasses. These are one of Serengeti's "feminine" designs with a cate-eye look. They come in different lense and frame colors, and I love the sleek Satin Titanium matched with the slightly rosy Sedona Mirror lenses.
It's a good idea to have a collection of polarized and non-polarized sunglasses to choose from because while polarized lenses are awesome for when you're around water, they aren't always ideal for every situation, it's nice to be able to change out accordingly. These come in both polarized and non-polarized.
What I really love about these lenses is that you can wear them inside and still see well. Other people can see my eyes through them too. I get migraines, so I wear sunglasses all the time, even when it's not sunny. I need them to block out glare. These are perfect for those gray days when there is a ton of headache inducing glare. If you're outside and run into the store, you don't have to take them off to see well.
Fashion-wise I like the design twist on aviators. They're a little dressier, I think, a little more appropriate for fancier attire, but they work for casual too. They are comfortable and the lenses offer excellent visibility. I've become hooked on Serengeti's quality, they make top notch sunglasses that elevate eyewear.

School by the River
When seven women of the Order of Saint Ursula and one priest arrived in frontier San Antonio, Texas in 1851 to establish a school for girls, none could predict the dramatic future facing the tranquil campus that rose on the banks of the San Antonio River. By 1970, the Ursuline Academy had moved away. Then two other groups of determined women--the San Antonio Conservation Society and the...

ERAONE — Reimagining '90s Skate Shoes
While most skaters are perfectly content with the slimmed down and largely vulcanized silhouettes that dominate the current skate shoe landscape. There is a group of collectors that evangelize the bulky cup soles of the past. Australia's Ben Brooks is one of them. Six months ago, he put his money where his mouth is and started a brand. Enter ERAone—a company that is reintroducing '90s-style skate shoes to the market. Kingpin caught up with Brooks to get some insight on why and how this happened.
"Can you explain the idea behind ERAone footwear?
The idea came from being an O.G skate shoe collector. I only collect skate shoes from the mid 90's to the mid 00's, the 'golden era' of skateboarding. There is a solid group of collectors on Instagram and Facebook who, like me, love the styling of shoes from this era. Companies don't make shoes like this anymore so the initial idea stemmed from a gap in the market and a general want and need amongst collectors. The overall idea is to bring some styling back into skate shoes.
What inspired the decision to start the company? Is it something you've had in mind for a while?
I really only started down this road maybe six months ago. I guess the main decision to start in the first place was my overall disappointment with what modern skate shoes have become, everything is so slim these days! Some companies have started reissuing models from the past but they are slimming them down as well, this ruins the overall look of what they once were in my opinion. As a collector its great to get a deadstock pair in your hands, but most of the time you can't wear them, the foams have deteriorated over time so they might look good but as soon as you take 10 steps they start cracking and blow out. Collectors and old school skaters are hanging out for a shift in the skate shoe industry, but it's just not moving right now."

A true and complete history of the bestial motif of the Final Fantasy saga.
"Wark! Wark!" or sometimes "Kweh!" The famous call of the Chocobo (チョコボ) is immediately recognizable by those of us fortunate enough to have followed the Final Fantasy series like maniacal religious fanatics.
Although disappointment comes to mind when daydreaming of my recent ventures into the newest of the Final Fantasy world, the Chocobo nevertheless always puts a smile on my face. Cute and cuddly while at the same time making great pack animals and adventuring companions you can't beat the Chocobo when it comes to animal companionship.
Today I thought it would be fun to take a look back at the history of the Chocobo whose familiar appearance and call has become a signature staple of any Final Fantasy game.
The Chocobo was first created by Koichi Ishii, a video game director who worked on various Final Fantasy titles. Koichi said the original idea for the chocobo was based on Kyorochan, a character in TV ads for a chocolate candy who is also a bird with the call of "kweh". Another inspiration for the Chocobo is thought to be Hayao Miyazaki's Horseclaws, which appears in the film Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
Most Chocobos are yellow, but there are usually certain rare breeds that are of different colors, each of which has a unique ability. For example in Final Fantasy IV Black Chocobo has the ability to fly, but not over tall mountains. Chocobos are occasionally used as war mounts, assisting their riders in battle with beak and claw attacks. They can even sometimes appear as comic relief such as the Fat Chocobo that can eat the characters items and store them for later retrieval.
First appearing in Final Fantasy II, the Chocobo can only be found in the forest south of Kashuan Keep. It retreats to the forest immediately after being dismounted, and is therefore chiefly used as a quick escape to Bafsk from Kashuan and nearby areas. Yoshitaka Amano's original artwork for the chocobo was quite different from what would become the recurring design of the creature.
In Final Fantasy III the Fat Chocobo is able to store items when given Gysahl Greens. He can only be summoned in places that smell of Chocobo. Chocobos can be found in several Chocobo forests and ridden around the world map and in several parts of Saronia. There is even a small side quest involving riding a Chocobo around the Floating Continent.
Final Fantasy IV which was released in the US to great fanfare as FF II, featured the Chocobo in many locations. They are scattered in Chocobo Forests throughout the world where they can be found and utilized for travel. The Fat Chocobo will appear wherever a place is found that "smells like Chocobos!" using a carrot. The Fat Chocobo will store your items for later. Rydia is also to learn a summon spell for Chocobo which does minimal damage but is useful early in the game.
In Final Fantasy V, Bartz Klauser owns Boco, arguably the most famous chocobo in the series. Boco is left behind at the Pirates' Hideout for most of the game, however, upon reaching the Third World, Boco rejoins Bartz, now married to a chocobo called Koko, and having had children with her. Bartz can then ride Boco around the world. Boco does not run away upon dismounting. There are several side quests involving Boco. The black chocobo appears in this game as well, and plays a similar role to the black chocobo in Final Fantasy IV. It can only land in forests, however, it can also fly over mountains that are not capped in snow. Bartz and his friends ride a black chocobo after the Steamship is sucked under the water during an earthquake at Crescent. The black chocobo can be found again in Mirage Village in the Third World, and is necessary in order to reach the Phoenix Tower and the North Mountains.
Final Fantasy VI marked the first occasion where Chocobos could be rented in various towns and stables located around the world. The stables are hidden in forests, making them the equivalent of Chocobo Forests. Setzer Gabbiani has a Slot called Chocobop that summons Chocobos into battle. Strago and Relm can also equip a piece of armor called the Chocobo Suit. Jidoor's Auction House also likes to auction a Chocobo they claim can speak, although the player can never confirm nor deny this; an old man and his son always place the winning bid on this particular item.
In Final Fantasy VII, the player must equip the Chocobo Lure materia and encounter enemies nearby Chocobo tracks in order for a Chocobo to appear in battle. Chocobos can be caught by defeating all enemies except the Chocobo itself. The Chocobo will quickly run away from a battle unless fed a green to prevent it from running away. After acquiring the Highwind and buying stalls at the Chocobo Stables, the player can keep Chocobos, and even transport one on the Junon Cargo Ship. It is possible to breed Chocobos to generate different colored ones. The different breeds of Chocobo allow the player to travel across different terrain. There are yellow, green/blue, black and gold varieties of Chocobo. There are four Materia Caves that can only be reached by certain varieties of Chocobo. There are also Chocobo races at the Gold Saucer. These are different colors from the normal Chocobo, including pink and white. In addition, there is a Summon Materia that can be found early on in the game, which summons Choco/Mog. The summon can sometimes attack with Fat Chocobo.
The Chocobo legacy continues not only for many more Final Fantasy games, but also into a whole line-up of Chocobo games where our fine feathered friends get to play the lead role. I myself wish to stop the history lesson at Final Fantasy 7 because I really believe that this was one of the last great Final Fantasy games ever released.
Our Chocobo companions care not for the quality of the games though and will always be there to give us a ride or cheer us up when we feel down. If not the Chocobo a vital part of the Final Fantasy world would be missing.

Normally, I don't do this. I am all about working with what you have. Sometimes however, what you have is not worth working with. Scary, I know. Even if you get creative. This unsuspecting client called me in for a master bath makeover. I told her (in my sweetest) honest voice: It's not worth it.
The bathroom was choppy, the shower was tiny, the tile was disgusting, and there was a bidet. It was not pretty. Changing the wallpaper and updating the backsplash can only do so much in a very dated bathroom. I was afraid that when it was finished, she still wouldn't like the look or function of her master bath.
One thing lead to another and before we were done, the bathroom was gutted, the kitchen was gutted and two other bathrooms were down to the studs. I make it sound so easy, but there was a great deal of deliberation, tons of estimates, second estimate, third estimate... and when it was all said and done, this family had to move out to achieve the look they had always dreamed of. Sounds pretty painful.
Happy days are here again because moving day is tomorrow!!! Hopefully, the pain of renovating will be forgotten when they see the end result. I wanted to give you a sneak peak before we put all of the furnishings into their brand new home.
Here is a sneak peak of the master. It is a recycled glass sconce and killer tile... can't wait to show you the rest!A dated wood/brass ceiling fan got replaced with this Arteriors glass bottle chandelier. It's beautiful in their two story living room.
These dining chairs are going in the (very) updated dining room below. These are Gabby and aren't the gorgeous?
Check out their new dining room! It is awaiting a very long limed oak dining table.
You can see (from the kitchen), the old version of the dining room. It's so bright now and we sanded off the faux finish for clean, smooth Elmira White and a Hollingsworth Green ceiling (both Ben Moore colors). Just wait until you see the kitchen. You will FLIP.

After her successful first series of 'The Future of Fashion' on YouTube with British Vogue, Alexa Chung popped up once again in my subscription box this month with a brand new half an hour long documentary on getting a job at British Vogue. The first series of The Future of Fashion where so interesting and I would recommend taking a look at them, if you haven't already (here's the playlist! p.s series 2 is coming soon, eek!). But this one drew me in more than any other because, I mean it's Vogue and what person who wants a job in the fashion industry wouldn't want to work at Vogue (or at least have a nosey around their offices!).
Anyway this video is excellent, you basically follow Alexa around the Vogue office's whilst she interviews a few awe inspiring women. They include Vogue's editor Alexandra Schulman, creative director Jaime Perlman and fashion director Lucinda Chambers. It's so fascinating to find out what they do and as a fashion student it was helpful hearing their tips on how to break into the industry.
As well as that Alexa also visited the team who deals with all the Social Media aspects and the Vogue website, which was so impressive because it's amazing how fast paced that sector is. Anyway I'm going to stop waffling on now and let you watch the video because you seriously need to watch it, like right now!

MEI Online: Plant Operation News: Africa: December 9th 2013
:: Selous Chrome Smelter Complete
The construction of a US$25 million chrome smelter in Selous has been completed in a move that will increase value addition of raw chrome.
The smelter, which was built by a Chinese company, Afrochine Smelting under phase one of the project, has two furnaces and a capacity of processing 50 000 tonnes of ferrochrome. The plant will soon become operational, employing about 300 workers.
Speaking at the company's business launch, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Mike Bimha said the construction of the smelter will go a long way in increasing revenue from chrome through value addition which is in line with government's value addition strategy.
The Chinese ambassador to Zimbabwe, Mr Lin Lin said the creation of smelters bears testimony that co-operation between Zimbabwe and China is positively aiding the development of local industry.
Construction of four more smelters valued at US$100 million has already begun under phase two of the venture which was granted a national project status.
Upon completion, which is scheduled for the year 2015, the four smelters will have additional capacity of 250 000 tonnes of ferrochrome per year, creating employment for over 1000 people.
The government banned raw chrome exports in 2011 but the few companies with smelters do not have the capacity to absorb all the raw chrome mined locally, leaving several small scale miners out of employment.

On Friday a Lowndes County jury in Columbus awarded $2.4 million to the plaintiff in Blevins v. Holzhauer. Here is the Columbus Dispatch article on the verdict.
From the article:
According to circuit court records, Hamilton resident Talanda Blevins sued Dr. James Holzhauer for negligence in 2016, two years after her uterus ruptured while she was at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle giving birth. After Blevins delivered the baby, Holzhauer performed four surgeries within a few hours, the last of which was an abdominal hysterectomy, in an attempt to stop Blevins' blood loss.
The same day as the hysterectomy, another physician performed a fifth surgery, during which, Blevins argued, the physician had to repair damage to Blevins' bladder and other organs which had been caused during the earlier surgeries.
Plaintiff has permanent urinary incontinence and difficulty standing for long periods.
It was a 9-3 verdict, meaning Plaintiff had no votes to spare.
The award included $1.2 million in economic damages and $1.2 million in non-economic damages. The $500,000 non-economic damages cap will reduce the judgment to $1.9 million.
Defendants were on an 18-0 winning streak in Lowndes County medical malpractice trials.
Charlie Merkel and Charles Merkel III with Merkel & Cocke in Clarksdale represented the Plaintiff. Whit Johnson with Currie Johnson in Flowood represented Defendant.
My Take:
Plaintiffs were due in Lowndes County. The thing about defendants winning 9 out of 10 trials is that plaintiffs still win sometimes. This was the tenth trial.
This is a good time to revisit the $500,000 non-economic damages cap. Due to a 2.1% annual inflation rate, the $500,000 is worth only $358,000 in 2002 dollars when the caps were enacted. That's a loss in value of almost 30%. Is that fair? When does it become unfair?
At what point does the cap not increasing due to inflation make it unconstitutional? Opinions range from 2003 to never.

I had a problem accessing my blog whilst in Madeira so this is going to mean that my postings about it will be a bit disjointed and not necessarily chronological. I have finally sorted it out this morning so will attempt to share some of my experiences of this wonderful island.
We flew from Birmingham early on Monday morning, I had noticed last year that there is now a Wetherspoons after passport control and security so we elected to leave home after only coffee and juice and have a full breakfast at the airport. It was an excellent strategy and successfully filled the hour and a half hanging around. We left Brum at a temperature of 3C and landed at Funchal just before lunch to a temperature of 21C. Our ordered transport was waiting for us and drove us to Cabo Girao to our home for the next fortnight. I had booked a two bedroomed two bathroomed apartment through our Holiday Property Bond and it was excellent. The drive to Cabo Girao in bright daylight showed that the roads are ALL like the Hardknott Pass - some of the stretches of the main road were practically vertical and I vowed not to hire the car I had been thinking about. Coward? Moi? You bet I am when faced with roads like that.
The vegetation was amazing - there were thousands of red hot pokers lining the sides of the roads - they were growing like weeds everywhere and provided a brilliant carpet of scarlet. There were some weird looking plants - I thought of them as Triffids - which were like a huge swan's neck which had thick stems at the base tapering to a point at the top which dipped and swayed in the wind. I found out afterwards that they were a member of the aloe vera family and grown for their sap. There were plenty of banana trees by the sides of the road too, some of the hands of bananas closest to the traffic had blue plastic bags wrapped round them to protect from exhaust fumes. The Madeiran soil is amazingly fertile and every scrap of level land was cultivated. The entire island is terraced in the occupied parts and a square metre of land means three or four crops of something every year.
We settled into our flat and found our bearings. We had a lovely big terrace with dining furniture, sun loungers and loads of geckos scurrying around. Quite little ones with scaly looking skin and lashing tails. We had access to a large L shaped swimming pool which was half inside and half outside so that was my daily swim sorted. For energetic types there were tennis courts and a clubhouse with table tennis and billiards but I got quite enough exercise climing the hundred or so steps between the pool and our flat. I did say the entire island was terraced. There was a shuttle bus around the site which Onslow took advantage of but I now have the calves of a Gurkha having done the steps three or four times daily.

THIS evening will see the first full moon of 2020 in Somerset skies - weather permitting.
The full moon should be visible - if skies are clear enough - from around 7.20pm tonight (Friday), according to experts.
And according to forecasters, we're also being graced with a penumbral lunar eclipse on Friday, where the Earth's main shadow does not cover the moon, according to timeanddate.com
Where the Earth, moon and sun are imperfectly aligned, the outer shadow of Earth (the penumbra) crosses the moon, resulting in a slight shadowing of the moon's brightness. This will not be the darkening we see during a full lunar eclipse though.

And yes, it may be hard to see because the shadowy part is just a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
But now you know, you might be able to detect it.

About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" ). …And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
Matthew 27:46, 50 NIV
In six days God created the heavens and the earth. When He paused at the end of each day He saw that it was good.
In six hours on the cross our Lord finished the work necessary for His new creation. Through suffering He completed something so awesomely good that till today we can call it Good Friday!
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
John 19:30
As we pause and reflect on this first day …the Lord's day may we remember His work and rest and worship with thankful hearts.

ORIGINAL FRENCH ARTICLE: Recalée
by Maurice Ulrich
Translated Monday 27 October 2008, by
The minister of higher education's reaction to the Oct. 19 national teachers demonstration.
Valérie Pécresse, the French minister for higher education and research, strongly disagreed with yesterday's national teachers demonstration. She said as much on the radio. The demonstrators' demands were "unjustified and out of phase." And she was so bold as to repeat herself: "They are completely out of phase with the real situation in the national educational system, which today is the government's priority of priorities." May I say in passing that the number of "priority of priorities" that this government has collected is astonishing. I had recently been led to believe that bailing out the banks and saving capitalism, at the colossal cost that everyone is familiar with, was the priority of priorities. And haven't we been assured, over the years, that the priority of priorities was purchasing power, or else, at times, housing and the homeless, or else the working-class suburbs, or security, or global warming, or taxes on plastic picnic knives and forks, or yet again the battle against Alzheimer's disease? And I've surely forgotten some... As a matter of fact, the priority would seem to be saying whatever pops into your head, so long as you say it with conviction. OK, so, for Valérie Pécresse it was education and consequently yesterday's 80,000 demonstrators were out of phase.
Because, all the same, it's funny how wrong people can be. There you have thousands of teachers who, from their daily experience, ought after all to know roughly what is going on in their schools. There you have 47 teachers' organizations calling a national demonstration, organizing transportation from the outlying parts of France, and who for days have been discussing what is being done to the schools, and yet, basically, you just can't figure what it is that has gotten them all hot and bothered.
All the same, how arrogant this government can be!
What scorn for democracy – to refuse to listen, and then forcefully to state such untruths about "the real situation in the national educational system!" The reality is that 13,500 jobs are being axed in 2009. 35,000 jobs have been shed in the junior and senior highs since 2007. 6,000 jobs are going to be cut in the primary schools. Curriculums have shrunk. They are eliminating school districts, which will in fact result in the poorest families finding their children in the toughest and least-equipped schools. The exact opposite of the proclaimed goal – favoring the mixing of social classes – but then that is nothing but a lie. Because what they are doing is completely overhauling the national educational system, with a minimum basic program for your run-of-the-mill pupil and elitist teaching for the others. This is selection according to social milieu, it's an "autonomy" pushing schools into competing with one another, as is already the case at a number of the universities which have been encouraged to adopt an entrepreneurial style of management.
The same goes for research, which Valérie Pécresse also mentioned yesterday. Personalized management of human resources, the creation of an excellence track with bonuses for 130 associate professors, the questioning of the role of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), whose staff, precisely, are gathering today to express their rejection of these plans... And once again, the minister will certainly tell them that they, too, are "out of phase."
"Research, innovation and training, these are the jobs of tomorrow and they are therefore an arm against the economic crisis," Mrs. Pécresse also stated. This is quite true. Or at least it should be. But what is on the horizon is the dismantling of public research to the benefit of profitable sectors; it is aiming for excellence in a few sectors that have been selected for their promise of profitability. This is not an arm against the economic crisis; it is the continuation and the aggravation of the profit-oriented policies that produced the economic crisis. The arms against the economic crisis are being wielded by the workers, the teachers and the researchers who are defending public services and who want public services to play their full role in the service of knowledge, progress, and social progress.
And on this point, the minister has quite clearly flunked out.

Different types of spinal schwannomas presented include multiple schwannoma (n = 3), schwannoma with cystic degeneration (n = 3), schwannoma with hemorrhage (n = 2), melanotic schwannoma (n = 1), intraosseous schwannoma (n = 2), schwannoma growing into the foramen transversarium (n = 1), intramedullary schwannoma (n = 1), large or giant schwannoma (n = 1), malignant schwannoma (n = 2), and infarcted schwannoma (n = 1). We present imaging findings in these cases and review their differential diagnosis. Awareness of the uncommon presentations of these seemingly common tumors is important in offering a correct diagnosis. © 2007 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

People keep asking what the OWS protesters want. Honestly, I don't really know. But I do know what some of them are angry about, income inequality, student loan debt, unemployment, crony capitalism, and now that one has been critically injured in Oakland I think the movement, if that's what they're calling it, will face a critical test. Can they maintain their commitment to non-violence in the face of law enforcement and city leaders losing patience with their occupations? Also, winter and cold weather are quickly materializing, how will this factor affect their resolve? There is also concern among the protesters themselves that there are anarchists among their ranks which may undermine the peaceful image they're trying to maintain.
The LA Time has a good rundown of the dilemma facing city officials and police departments across the country. I thought it was a little derelict though that they didn't mention the Iraqi Vet who was critically injured in Tuesday nights clash with Oakland PD.
Looming large is the cautionary spectacle of Oakland. Police there arrested about 100 protesters before dawn Tuesday, using tear gas and riot gear to break up encampments — only to face a massive evening protest and threats of continued unrest from angry backers of the movement.
Leaders in other cities said they don't want a repeat of that chaos, but it's unclear how they will eventually oust protesters who refuse to leave.
Even in Los Angeles, where city leaders have greeted the demonstrators warmly, there are signs of protest fatigue and increasing anxiety about what happens next.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who earlier this month had ponchos distributed to rain-soaked Occupy L.A. protesters, said Wednesday that the encampment next to City Hall "cannot continue indefinitely."
Villaraigosa has instructed city officials to draft a plan for another location for the demonstration.
Here's a little more about the wounded protester and highlights of attempts to break up the occupation.
OAKLAND, Calif (Reuters) – More than 1,000 activists protesting economic inequality reclaimed a downtown Oakland plaza late on Wednesday, a day after demonstrators were driven out and an Iraq war veteran was critically hurt in clashes with police.
The severe injury of Scott Olsen, 24, a former U.S. Marine who friends said served two tours of duty in Iraq, became a rallying cry among Occupy Wall Street supporters in Oakland and beyond as organizers urged protesters back into the streets.
Police kept their distance as protesters returned to the scene of Tuesday's confrontations, while protesters largely avoided provoking them, although one activist defiantly set up a single, small tent in the square after midnight.
The "Occupy Wall Street" protests, which began in New York City last month, take issue with a financial system they say most benefits corporations and the wealthy. They are critical of U.S. government bailouts of big banks, high unemployment and economic inequality.
Loosely organized protest groups have since sprung up across the United States and in countries around the world. Tensions were building in several cities where authorities have been treading a fine line between allowing peaceful protest and addressing concerns about trespassing, noise and safety.
In an early morning raid in Atlanta, police evicted dozens of protesters from a downtown park and arrested 53 who refused to leave. They were allowed to camp in the park for three weeks, but Mayor Kasim Reed said he decided to evict them because of fire code violations and crowd control issues.
Kristof discusses some of the issues he thinks are driving the protests.
That alarmist view of the movement is a credit to the (prurient) imagination of its critics, and voyeurs of Occupy Wall Street will be disappointed. More important, while alarmists seem to think that the movement is a "mob" trying to overthrow capitalism, one can make a case that, on the contrary, it highlights the need to restore basic capitalist principles like accountability.
To put it another way, this is a chance to save capitalism from crony capitalists.
But, in recent years, some financiers have chosen to live in a government-backed featherbed. Their platform seems to be socialism for tycoons and capitalism for the rest of us. They're not evil at all. But when the system allows you more than your fair share, it's human to grab. That's what explains featherbedding by both unions and tycoons, and both are impediments to a well-functioning market economy.
Capitalism is so successful an economic system partly because of an internal discipline that allows for loss and even bankruptcy. It's the possibility of failure that creates the opportunity for triumph. Yet many of America's major banks are too big to fail, so they can privatize profits while socializing risk.
The upshot is that financial institutions boost leverage in search of supersize profits and bonuses. Banks pretend that risk is eliminated because it's securitized. Rating agencies accept money to issue an imprimatur that turns out to be meaningless. The system teeters, and then the taxpayer rushes in to bail bankers out. Where's the accountability.

Working together for change
HealthWiki > Helping Children Who Are Deaf > Chapter 14: Support for parents and caregivers > Working together for change
Parents' groups work on many kinds of projects. They may try to improve the economic conditions of families, the attitudes of communities, or the government's laws and services for deaf children — all as a way to help their children. To get more resources for their children, a parents group can:
- find ways to get funding for new projects to help deaf children.
- help parents develop new job skills.
- offer workshops on ways to teach and help their children.
- share information about hearing aids.
- organize sign language classes.
- bring hearing and deaf people together.
Many parents' groups work to educate the rest of the community about deafness. They often work together with people who are deaf. The groups use workshops, radio programs, newsletters, billboards, street theater, and posters to help others understand more about deafness.
Some parents' groups work to improve government programs and laws for children who are deaf. They contact people in the government, like the ministers of health and education. They tell them about services their community needs, or about laws needed to protect children who are deaf or have hearing problems. They write letters, pass around petitions, or organize protests if government officials do not improve conditions for their children.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Jose Reyes has been cleared by Mets doctors to resume baseball activities and is on his way back to Florida, the team announced Tuesday. A Mets spokesman said Reyes' thyroid levels have returned to normal and he is expected back at Tradition Field on Wednesday.
The Mets weren't sure how quickly Reyes could begin playing in spring training games, but his return reopens the possibility that he could be ready for Opening Day. At the very least, it appears he could avoid starting the season on the disabled list.
"I can't tell you if he's going to be ready for Opening Day," Mets general manager Omar Minaya said. "I can't tell you that he is or that he's not. But the reality is, we're happy to get him back. I know for us and for all the players, everybody was excited. He's excited. Let's get him back here. Let's get that smile back on our team."
Reyes was shut down earlier this month because of an overactive thyroid and has been resting at his home in New York. The Mets said on March 11 that it could take an additional one to seven weeks for Reyes to be cleared, making it appear likely that he would begin the season on the DL. But that projection changed dramatically Tuesday.
Starting Wednesday, Reyes will be able to resume hitting, running and fielding. But the Mets still want to proceed cautiously with him, considering he hasn't played in a major-league game since May 2009.
Reyes last played in an intrasquad game on March 1. He was scratched from the Mets' Grapefruit League opener on March 2 because of wet weather, then was scratched from the lineup two days later because of a doctor's appointment.
When tests raised concerns about his thyroid levels, Reyes returned to New York for further testing. He worked out at home early the week of March 8 but has been mostly inactive since then.
Minaya said Reyes has been walking on a treadmill but was not allowed to do any strenuous physical activity.
Manager Jerry Manuel said earlier this month that if Reyes returned in time to play in 10 Grapefruit League games, he believed he would be ready for Opening Day. But there are only 11 exhibition games left after Tuesday, making a 10-game stint highly unlikely.
"I'm pretty sure that we're going to have to build his stamina up," Minaya said. "I talked to Jerry a little bit about it. As far as where we're going to be from here to two weeks, I don't know that. But the good thing is, he's going to be here, he's going to be working out, he's going to be in full participation."
