Biodegradable Food Trays UKBiodegradable food trays are one of the best food packaging supplies, and are perfect for so many different types of eating establishments, and even different types of meals. The soy blend eco-wax coating means that the greasiest of foods aren't a problem for your biodegradable food trays UK – they can withstand whatever you put in them. Even the sloppiest foods – such as loaded fries, oozing burgers, saucy pasta dishes and even Mexican chillies – are contained cleanly and conveniently within your biodegradable food trays UK. Biodegradable food trays UK are a great single serve size, whatever food you're serving. This makes it convenient for both the server and the consumer – the biodegradable food tray size means you know exactly how much to serve up, and the customer knows they're getting a great, generous sized helping for one. This is perfect for food trucks and festivals, where customers want to know they're getting a tasty, great value meal, and where you want to serve as quickly and easily as possible to cut down the queue time! But biodegradable food trays UK aren't just for food trucks and outdoors food businesses, they're a great way for restaurants, concessions, snack bars, and over-counter establishments to quickly serve up tasty grub, too. Particularly good for snack bars, these biodegradable food trays are crying out to be loaded up with fries, nachos, burgers or even hot dogs. When the customer is done with their meal, they, or the establishment, can simply throw the packaging away – meaning less clearing up time, and less wasted shelf space for unnecessary crockery. Don't forget your eco-friendly cutlery and napkins!
Biodegradable Food Trays, Helping You Be Kind to The PlanetOur biodegradable food trays and compostable food trays also help the customer (and you!) to give back to the planet. In the past, disposable food packaging and crockery had a negative impact on the planet – meaning whenever someone threw away a food tray, it harmed the environment, due to their lack of recyclability. However – if you check out our range of products, you'll notice they're either biodegradable or compostable. This means you don't need to fear you're having a negative impact on the environment - the trays are made from recycled natural kraft paper stock using an FDA-approved, chlorine-free manufacturing process. This makes the usage of disposable food trays much more environmentally friendly – which is not only great for the planet, it's great for your business! Customers are becoming much savvier towards making eco-friendly choices, and the usage of such materials will put you in great stead with your more conscious consumers.
Compostable Food Trays – Perfect for Branding Opportunities!There is also the opportunity to further embolden your brand in your consumer's mind – we can emboss and brand your compostable food trays, providing yet another opportunity to stand out in your customer's mind. This is particularly useful with indie food brands – if your food looking amazing, your customers will post pictures online, and the inclusion of your branding directly on the compostable food trays will leave little doubt in anyone's mind where they purchased from!

Eco Friendly Cold Drink Cups with LidsBiodegradable cold drink cups and cold drink cups with lids are a must for any business. Not all businesses serve food, but most eateries will serve drinks – and our cups are great, eco-friendly options. Make sure your customers have only the best when they come to you for a refreshing beverage. Our lidded cups (choose between flat or domed) are amazing for juices, smoothies, iced coffees and milkshakes, and make a great option for businesses where the customer might be 'on the go', such as food festivals, trucks or outside/street eateries. This way, the liquid is kept neatly contained within the cup, while the lid provides a convenient access point for an eco-friendly straw. Our domed lids even provide extra space for toppings on your drinks, such as chunks of fresh fruit, or lashings of whipped cream! Why not offer bottled juices, too? We also have great eco-friendly pint glass options for any eateries providing bar options and alcoholic drinks, so that all your customers have the option to have an eco-friendly cup, no matter what their beverage of choice is.

The Associated Press
A bill overhauling Nevada's sex education curriculum has died in the state Senate.
AB230 was taken off a roster of bills to be voted upon Friday. The bill faced a midnight deadline to survive.
The bill would have set up a state council to determine criteria to be covered by an updated sex education course. The new curriculum would have covered topics such as contraception methods, domestic violence and sexual abuse, communicable diseases and the effects of drugs and alcohol on decision-making.
Democratic Assemblyman David Bobzien of Reno was the prime sponsor of the bill. He says the legislation would have given youth more accurate information.
But Senate Democrats opted to avoid the issue, agreeing not to vote on it.

What is storm surge?
Information courtesy National Hurricane Center
Most deaths during a hurricane occur during the storm surge. The National Hurricane Center describes storm surge as the height of water above the predicted astronomical tide level.
All locations along the East and Gulf coasts are vulnerable to storm surge, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Storm surge is caused primarily by the strong winds in a hurricane or tropical storm. The wind causes the water to pile up higher than sea level.
It is the combined effect of low pressure from the storm and wind over the water which causes storm surge flooding problems.
Hurricane Katrina, a category 3 at landfall in Louisiana, produced catastrophic damage with a 28-foot storm surge.
Hurricane Ike, a category 2 at landfall in Texas, also produced catastrophic damage with a 20-foot storm surge. During Hurricane Ike, the surge moved inland nearly 30 miles in some locations in southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana.
Hurricane Charley, a category 4 hurricane at landfall in Florida, produced a storm surge of 6 to 8 feet.
A larger storm will produce higher surge.
There are two reasons for this. First, the winds in a larger storm are pushing on a larger area of the ocean. Second, the strong winds in a larger storm will tend to affect an area longer than a smaller storm. Size is a key difference between the surge generated by storms like Katrina and Charley.
The angle at which a storm approaches a coastline can affect how much surge is generated. A storm that moves onshore perpendicular to the coast is more likely to produce a higher storm surge than a storm that moves parallel to the coast or moves inland at an oblique angle.
In general, storm surge occurs where winds are blowing onshore. The highest surge tends to occur near the radius of maximum winds," or where the strongest winds of the hurricane occur.

Hello Friends,
The current EXE patch includes a small new feature for the RVT (Related Verses Tool). With the new update, when you open a verse in the RVT and are searching an English Bible, "common" words are left unchecked by default. Hopefully, this will make the initial default search in English versions more useful.
For those who like to dig into things, the word list defining the "common" words left unchecked is in init/common-eng.iel. You can edit it in the WLM (Word List Manager).
Hope that is helpful!

The 'Muslim Students Association' [MSU, MSA] = Radical Islamic Hatred
A. Writes: I was first introduced to MSA 'Muslim Student Association' by an apparent advocate for them, an Arab poster (posing as "Italian") on AOL message boards [under multiple screen names 'sock-puppets' including "LetsReadAll", "CryToHvn" and more] on 2001 who claimed to be a 'Holocaust denier' but liked to brag about Nazis killing Jews, liked to post against certain AOL users that were openly Jewish a thread like: "paging Dr. Mengele", ) that posted again & again a video propaganda "little ones", a collection of graphic content like bloody pictures of dead kids, on Arab "Palestinians" killed (mostly) due to Arab Muslim terrorists using them as shields but of course the blame was entirely on "The Zionists", a typical smear campaign tool using most graphic bloody photos of the dead or wounded, "accompanied" by blatant lies such as calling tear gas (used by the careful & moral driven IDF to disperse protesters and minimize loss of lives) as "chemical weapons", imagine that!
In 2002 this venomous MSA distributed an anti Jewish 'anti-Semitic' propaganda [in reference to Arab children who are held hostage by Arab adult terrorists hiding in residential homes so that the Arab kids could die when the IDF is after them, and be served as propaganda against the Zionists] bottled meat with a label "Palestinian children butchered in accordance with Jewish law' — http://www.standwithus.com/actions/051802.asp GUPS MSA .. racism is not directed specifically at Israel but at Jews.
Then again, just like other typical Islamic lobbies, MSA was/is more about hatred of "the other" than any actions "for" their 'community'.
MSA- UCB organized a competing week of events titled "Peace Not Prejudice Week" that opened with a screening and discussion of the film Ghosts of Abu Ghraib …
Isn't it ironic that a racist hateful LOBBY would take upon itself a response to [the reality & the] exposure of 'Islamo-fascism' with a VEIL under a supposed "anti-racist" mask?
Check this, in the style of the Arab lobby's funded Carter's slogan "peace not apartheid" (though Carter admits: CNN.com – Transcripts Plus, interview with former President Jimmy Carter. … "I recognize Israel is a wonderful democracy with freedom of speech and equality of treatment …"
http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0612/13/ltm.01.html ), the MSA as good 'Palestinian – PALLYWOOD' propagandists they try to play a pun: "peace not prejudice".
Exactly that fascistic "peace", is the most dangerous bigotry and war, that the entire humanity is a menace under (from the Islamic Hitler in Iran's nukes to Islamists worldwide, holding the sword everywhere there's a Muslim population & beyond).

He is notorious for his anti-Semitic comments, such as "You can take the Jew out of the ghetto but you cannot take the ghetto out of the Jew," for claiming that Nazi anti-Semitism was justifiable and for his close association with Ahmed Huber, the neo-Nazi Swiss convert to Islam who praised Khomeini as the "living continuation of Adolf Hitler."…
…Imam Abdel Malik Ali, is a firebrand rhetorician who uses street slang to vilify Jews and to rouse his audiences to fight for the victory of Islam in America. Notorious for such anti-Semitic comments as "The Zionists control the media, and the Zionists have spied in your classrooms," Malik Ali and others who shared the podium at a 2004 Berkeley MSA event shocked and embarrassed many Muslim students, according to the East Bay Express.

[Hooked nose Arabs paint hooked noses?]
Author Derided by Muslim Students [Association] in Anti Semitic Cartoon Author David Horowitz responded today to his recent controversy at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. David Horowitz, a popular conservative writer, was derided in a Nazi-like anti-Semitic cartoon, put out by the Muslim Student Association. The cartoon, which was copied and spread around campus, portrays Horowitz, a Jewish man, as a hooked-nose Nazi hiding in a trash can.

The Terrorism Awareness Project has just released this very informative video of the blatant Islamic pro-terror movement As Sabiqun, and their influence on life at UC Irvine, and universities across the United States.
"Hadith of Hate" Banned at USC
By Reut R. Cohen FrontPageMagazine.com | 8/29/2008
As Muslim Student Association (MSA) chapters have become increasingly influential at universities and colleges around the country, critics have charged that it is a hate group that sympathizes with the international jihad and promulgates an anti-American and anti-Semitic ideology in its campus actions. In response, the MSA has claimed that it is merely another religious and cultural group similar to Hillel, a club for Jewish students, or the Newman Club for Catholics. That deception has been now unmasked at the University of Southern California, where the school's Provost, Chrysostomos L. Max Nikias, reacting to a call from the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, has ordered the campus MSA to remove a "despicable" hadith calling for Muslims to murder Jews as a condition for redemption from its website.
David Horowitz, President of the Freedom Center, hails this as a breakthrough moment when the double standards that control the political and intellectual culture of most universities have finally been challenged. "Up to now, the slightest criticism of radical Islam on campus has been slammed as 'Islamophobia,' while Muslim groups and their radical fellow travelers have been allowed to say the most hateful things imaginable about Christians and Jews without any reaction from university administrators whatsoever," Horowitz says. "Provost Nikias has called the hadith on the MSA website for what it is: despicable. Given the atmosphere that prevails on most campuses today, it was an act of integrity on his part to make this call and to demand that the MSA live up to basic standards of civility that should govern the university."
The hadith (sacred teaching) reads as follows:
"Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him…."

donget two hard drives ( EQUAL SIZE, VERY IMPORTANT! ).pick your flavor of RAID.then people will seek you outbecause you know how to set up RAID
Don ChekeI found that a online back up to beneficial for the purpose of portability,the other advantage is in case of fire,natural catastrophes,theft etc. there always a retrieval of lost files.I found that large capacity external hardrive helpful also and use it as for immediate back up .I try not to store to many important files on the desk top machine for more software allowance.Is some of the things I do when comes to back up steps.W7 Pro has a built back up system that works well.If ever need be W7 will save your file under OLD Windows Files if ever the operating system needs to be reloaded which I found didn't lose anything and software came along but some had to be reinstalled along with serial numbers.Just a little things I have done W.D.
Don,Are you backing up your entire drive that has the OS and programs on it every day? All you really need to be backing up on a daily basis is your data files. You should also consider keeping your data files on a disk of their own... if you're not doing that already.

All you really need to be backing up on a daily basis is your data files. You should also consider keeping your data files on a disk of their own... if you're not doing that already.No, I am backing up my data files and the Users files daily and keeping 5 versions. I can't remember exactly what I set and I can't check right now as it is running. I find this whole backup business, for the most part, beyond my skill set, however I don't know anyone that can come over and get me set up so this is a painless function. I am not anywhere close to being a techy so I fumble along as best I can.This seems to be taking way longer (via network) than it ever did through a USB. Everywhere I went shopping they said network backup was faster.
I can help you out if you want.... tomorrow or one day next week... whenever.
Quote from: GregT on January 12, 2012, 05:04:30 PMI can help you out if you want.... tomorrow or one day next week... whenever.I don't think I can afford to fly you to Saskatoon, Greg.Actually, I might take you up on your offer at some point, but probably not until next week.I have decided to return the network drives. According to my calculations, it was going to take ~20 hours to back up what I used to back up via USB to external drive in about 4 or 5. I am going to check out a new external drive and then I will probably use PureSync with it.
I think making back-ups every time you save a file is over-kill and will likely interfere with work-flow -- just like anti-virus sometimes does. What's more important is to have a record of what state your file was in a particular point in time. This can be done through version control.Mark
Can I ask you Greg, when you create an image backup of your HD does it make a copy of all the os files as well? With W7 I have made such an image file, if I restore it will the complete W7 OS be restored to what it was then? Could you then put the image onto another HD and have a copy in case your original HD crashed?

I picked this up Yesterday. I'm a tad disappointed with the paint job, but the up side is that there will be less sunlight fading on the lack of stickers.
I've heard between $60-70.

As a Mayo Clinic engineer, Alex Streeter '03 Th'05 tackled doctors' and patients' requests as he did the ENGS 190/290/390 sequence: Define the problem, develop several ideas to address it, then prototype and test one or more solutions until the problem is solved. Streeter was one of more than 50 engineers at Mayo who work on inventions to make doctors' jobs easier and patients' lives better. Some of his designs have included life-sized models of pediatric scoliotic spines for presurgical planning; a physical therapy chair/bench for a set of conjoined twin infants; a "knee-walker" for a 7-foot-8-inch, 600-pound patient with a bad foot; a wheelchair attachment for a mother to use to hold her infant; high-speed videography of breaking bones; and a horizontal mill for grinding out the inside of a femoral head to harvest bone graft material. "Some of our work has a high impact on patient care at the clinic, sometimes for just a single patient. Some of our work seeks to enable the kind of medical and technological research and development that will bring about the next revolution in medicine, and will have a high impact beyond the clinic," he says. Streeter will be bringing that revolutionary approach to DEKA Research as he returns to New Hampshire for his wife's medical residency.
>> Husband and wife team Mark '80 and Paula Ness Speers '80 first combined their R&D and consulting talents 18 years ago to found Health Advances, LLC. They've built their 60-person firm with offices in San Francisco and Boston into the go-to consultants for advice on commercializing new medical technologies, guiding decisions on which applications, diseases, and conditions to target, optimizing pricing, sizing sales forces, and negotiating channels of distribution. With his engineering training, Mark focuses on the medical-technical and diagnostics clients, and is currently developing a medical device to reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia. "I find that my familiarity with materials science and manufacturing processes gains me instant credibility with new clients and often leads to brainstorming sessions that create new product ideas," he says. Paula, who served in the Peace Corps as a tuberculosis worker in South Korea after graduating from Dartmouth with a degree in international relations, continues to work in the developing world. She's currently working on a new diagnostic platform to enable infectious disease diagnostics. "Once in a while we work together," says Mark. "We fondly recall one of our first successes: the development of the Acticoat antimicrobial wound dressing. The product has become the best-selling burn dressing in the world and has saved hundreds of patients' lives."
>> Rick Greenwald Th'88 is turning his wide range of engineering and manufacturing expertise to the problems of personal injury among elite athletes, soldiers, and the elderly. As founder and president of Simbex in Lebanon, N.H., he is currently working on ActiveStep technology to train people to recover from a fall. With the system — highlighted on "Good Morning America" in a May segment titled "A Smart Way to Fall? New Technology Prevents Tragedy" — a therapist uses a body harness, treadmill, and sensors to analyze patients' movements and retrain their responses to tripping or slipping. The therapy can be life-saving, as one in three adults over 65 fall every year. Such falls annually cause 300,000 hip fractures, one-fifth of which lead to death. "Simbex stands for Simply Better Exercise and is the realization of a dream to solve important large-scale health problems related to personal injury with appropriate cost-effective technology," says Greenwald. It's an approach Time magazine recognized in its "Best Inventions of 2007" issue, highlighting the group's Head Impact Telemetry system (a head-impact monitoring system designed to prevent mild traumatic brain injury) and PowerFoot One (a robotic foot and ankle prosthetic).
>> Plastic surgeon Jason Altman '97 has spent the last year traveling the world — Ecuador, Peru, China, India, Vietnam, and Zambia — performing plastic and reconstructive surgery on children in need as a Jerome P. Webster Fellow for the global health organization Interplast. "Usually I am traveling with a team of doctors and nurses; however, on occasion I will also go by myself to work with and teach a local surgeon in some more remote areas," says Altman. His surgeries include cleft lip and palate repair, congenital hand deformities, congenital facial deformities, and burn and trauma reconstruction. "Plastic surgery is the practice of human engineering!" he says.
>> After 10 years as an audiologist — most recently as the director of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia cochlear implant program — Kevin Franck '92 is providing clinical strategy to Cochlear Ltd. "I've been drawn to this field because I grew up with deafness in my family (my sister)," says Franck, who trained as a biomedical engineer at Dartmouth. "The cochlear implant is truly amazing. Deaf babies can grow up listening and talking, and adults who lose their hearing can once again communicate with their spouses and colleagues with phones and all that stuff we take for granted." He is now involved in the global marketing of Cochlear's implantable hearing devices, which are used to replace damaged parts of the cochlea. (Hearing aids, on the other hand, attempt to get the damaged parts to work better, and are usually appropriate for those with mild or moderate hearing loss.) Franck says the cost — about $30,000 in the United States, plus the cost of surgery and rehabilitation — is covered by most insurance companies, due to the high cost efficacy.
>> Dr. Andrew Mannes Th'83 believes that killing the messenger — pain-responsive neurons in the sensory ganglia — can be a practical way to manage intractable pain. Mannes, who works in the department of anesthesia and surgical services for the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., is testing a new pain-relieving drug called resiniferatoxin, a single-shot dose of analgesic that lasts forever. The experimental drug targets sensory neurons that convey pain to the spinal cord. Interrupting this one specific class of pain-sensing neurons will eliminate the connection and some types of pain, including that seen with advanced cancer. In animal studies — including treating dogs for refractory end-of-life pain and goats for severe arthritis — the drug has shown remarkable improvement or elimination of pain symptoms, he says. The FDA has approved clinical trials, and Mannes and colleagues are now looking for cancer patients who are experiencing severe pain that is unresponsive to conventional therapy. Under this treatment, the patient is placed under general anesthesia for an hour or so while Mannes injects the resiniferatoxin into the cerebrospinal fluid space around the spinal cord, where it eliminates the pain neurons. If the treatment is successful, he says, patients should be able to discontinue their medications, including high doses of morphine or other opioids to control pain. Unlike other pain medications, his treatment appears to have no side effects (such as sedation or hallucinations) and no addictive potential.
>> Terry McGuire Th'82, co-founder of Boston-based Polaris Venture Partners and chairman of Thayer's Board of Overseers, is the new chair of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA). "Although the NVCA has long been an advocate for public policies that encourage innovation and economic growth, our work today is as important as ever," he said. "It is critical that the government and the venture capital industry continue working together to support risk-taking and long-term investment so that we as investors can continue to create new jobs and bring breakthrough technologies to market." Prior to forming Polaris Venture Partners, he spent seven years at Burr, Egan, Deleage & Co. investing in early-stage medical and information technology companies. McGuire has co-founded three companies: Inspire Pharmaceuticals, Advanced Inhalation Research Inc. (AIR), and MicroCHIPS.
>> The sky's the limit for Jim Zierick '78 TT'80, who brings 25 years in building technology companies to "cloud storage" platform provider Nirvanix. In his new role as president and CEO of the San Diego-based firm, he's using his business acumen to grow the company's global cluster of storage nodes. He presented the company's strategies during the spring Red Herring Conference, where he accepted a Red Herring 100 Award, given to the top 100 U.S. tech companies based upon their technological innovation, management strength, and market size.
>> Dartmouth javelin-throw record holder Sean Furey '04 qualified for the International Association of Athletics Federations World Track & Field Championships held in Berlin in August after placing third at the USA Track & Field Championships in Oregon in June. "This is something that I've been dreaming of and working towards for so many years," says the former engineering major.
>> Energy-capture expert Brian S. Hendrickson '06 Th'07 has been named to the advisory board of alternative energy technology developer Octillion Corp. An engineer with Veryst Engineering, LLC, in Needham, Mass., Hendrickson is credited with various innovations in the capture of wasted energy for generating electricity. The September 2008 issue of Mechanical Engineering Magazine, in an article titled "Harvest of Motion," highlighted his development of a small-scale device that uses human motion to generate five-times greater power output (per volume) than conventional energy harvesting systems.

"Vatican II: 50 years ago today" is a step back in time to the daily activities of the Second Vatican Council. Pope John XXIII called for an ecumenical council in 1959, the first to be held since 1870. After more than two years of preparatory work, the council convened in its first session, Oct. 11-Dec. 8, 1962. After the pope's death the following year, Pope Paul VI reconvened the council for three others sessions. These ran Sept. 29-Dec. 4, 1963; Sept. 14-Nov. 21, 1964; and Sept. 14-Dec. 8, 1965.
A total of 2,860 bishops, referred to as council fathers, participated in one or more of the sessions. The council produced 16 documents — two dogmatic and two pastoral constitutions, nine decrees and three declarations. The documents address everything from liturgy to Scripture, missionary activity to ecumenism and interfaith relationships, and the functions of clergy and laity to religious freedom.
During the four years of the council, Catholic News Service, then known as News Service of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, the predecessor of today's United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, or in shorthand, "NC," provided some of the most comprehensive English-language coverage of the sessions, the council fathers and those who assisted in the work. In 1965, it published a compilation of its reporting, the working documents and proceedings of the council in a remarkable three-volume set known simply as the Council Daybook. It was edited by then NC director and editor-in-chief Floyd Anderson, and was mainly the work of Msgr. James I. Tucek, a priest of the Diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth who was NC Rome bureau chief from 1956 to 1964.
Writing in the preface of the first volume of the Council Daybook, Bishop Albert R. Zuroweste, of Belleville, Ill., said, "The first session of the Vatican Council II created more 'firsts' than any previous ecumenical council. Among these 'firsts' and one of the most important was the establishment of the United States press panel as a source of daily news releases that gave to the session the greatest news coverage ever accorded a religious convention, meeting or council. The world today is linked by a vast network of communications media, and the press panel made the daily events of the council available to all."
The bishop said that as the council's first session began, journalists and writers were told that no prior texts would be made available and pre-written stories — the practice in those days since texts usually were handed out ahead — would be inaccurate. Those covering the council could only get texts at the end of the day, if available. "The rule of secrecy, more often violated than observed, added to the confusion," he wrote. There was near revolt by the press corps.
The U.S. bishops acted quickly to create a daily press panel composed of specialists in Scripture, canon law, dogmatic and moral theology, and church history and social sciences. It was an immediate hit.
"The panel assisted and guided the [newspersons] in interpreting the daily proceedings of the council and furnished valuable background information," Bishop Zuroweste wrote.
"It also established good will and corrected the dissatisfaction that was general in the first days of the council sessions. The satisfaction with the panel as a source of reliable information grew with each meeting, and before the first session was completed, the attitude and morale of the correspondents were excellent," he wrote. "At the last session of the panel, the press corps publicly expressed its thanks to the United States bishops for establishing this source of accurate information."
In this section, CNS will present the fruits of that vast labor of the bishops, panels of experts and NC editors and correspondents.
Each day CNS will post the entry from the Council Daybook, just as it was reported on the corresponding day at the council 50 years ago. The entries are unaltered from the reporting styles of those times. CNS will often include important addresses of the popes and council fathers or interventions of experts. We also will identify some of the people or issues in the dispatches when the references may not be clear to today's reader. However, for the most part this will be a page of history as it was reported then.
CNS is grateful to the past U.S. bishops and the U.S. council fathers still with us today, the press panel experts, Floyd Anderson, other former NC editors, especially NC assistant director Burke Walsh, and to all of the past NC correspondents — James C. O'Neill, Patrick Riley and Benedictine Father Placid Jordan, who covered the council and whose contributions appear in the Council Daybook. It is an astonishing and important legacy of Catholic journalism for the church.
