I don't know that you can ever truly be "prepared" for the passing of a loved one.
My grandmother-in-law died earlier this month. She was 88 years old and had been in failing health for some time; I think all of us had, to some extent, made our peace with the fact that Grandma was getting ready to leave us. She had been married since she was 18 to Grandpa, who passed away in the summer of 2008 � and quite frankly, Grandma made it longer than we thought she would without Grandpa.
When my husband told me Grandma has passed, it was surreal. I saw his mouth moving and I understood what he was saying, but somehow I just couldn't quite wrap my mind around it. Grandma was always very much alive and very much a presence in all of our lives; that she was simply gone didn't seem possible.
As a family we went into "taking care of business" mode. We made the arrangements and did the things a family dutifully does when one of their own dies. We accepted the sympathies of our friends and extended family members through hours of viewings, through the actual funeral service and at the cemetery as Grandma was laid to rest.
Now that we've gotten through all that, the hard part has begun.
Grandma was a sentimental soul � she rarely, if ever, threw anything away. As we've started going through her house we have found plastic totes, cardboard boxes and even a steamer trunk filled with old family photos and mementoes.
My father-in-law even happened on several years' worth of letters Grandma and Grandpa wrote back and forth while Grandpa was stationed overseas during World War II � all tied together in neat bundles. My mother-in-law and I plan to put them in protective covers and store them in binders so that piece of our family history will be preserved for the future generations of Barrands.
I thought I had a handle on my emotions, but when I walked into Grandma's house this past weekend I lost it a little. I could still see and hear her in every room of that house. I can remember like it was yesterday a winter day 15 years ago when I walked up to her door for the very first time and noticed a cement goose dressed in a Santa suit. My future husband (we didn't know that at the time) explained to me that his grandmother had outfits for the goose for every season.
I giggled. What a silly thing.
Guess where that goose is taking up residence now.
We were able to choose a few things of Grandma's we wanted to take. I chose what seemed to be an older, love-worn Vera Bradley purse (Grandma loved Vera Bradley). I chose that not because it was fashionable or even looked like something I would own; I chose it because it smelled like Grandma's house � and if I keep it zipped, I may be able to hold onto that smell for a while.
I knew it was coming. I knew we were going to lose Grandma. And now, as we sort through 88 years of a life well-lived, we alternate between laughing and crying. Grandma was a class-A pack rat, and some of the things we're finding just make my father-in-law shake his head. We always knew we had no idea what was going on in Grandma's mind, and these tackle boxes filled with plastic googly-eyes, multi-colored jingle bells and miniature plastic dice just prove that.
The bottom line is, I wasn't prepared. I'd give anything to have her back for just a day.
But since that can't happen, I will instead neatly preserve mementos that I can share with my grandchildren someday. I am so glad I was able to know and love Grandma for 15 years. I am glad I was able to hear the stories so I can give the gift of them to the next Barrands.
I know that's what Grandma would want. She was proud to be a Barrand, and so am I.

This one's for you, Grandma B.
I don't know that you can ever truly be "prepared" for the passing of a loved one.

Courses in the department are designed to meet the needs of all students. In order to understand today's issues and problems — in the West and throughout the world — it is important to have a firm grasp on the foundations of our global society, to know the history and culture of America, of Europe and of the world.
In keeping with the mission statement of Western Connecticut State University, the Department of History and Non-Western Cultures provides a comprehensive liberal arts education that prepares students for the job market and beyond. Our mission is to help students develop expertise in analyzing historical themes and to prepare them for employment in teaching or other specialized fields such as business, journalism, and law, or for graduate work in history.
Our goals are:
- To provide an interdisciplinary forum in which students can deal with political, social, cultural, religious, economic, and geographic aspects of history.
- To introduce students to non-Western cultures and help them understand global political and cultural relations.
- To help students develop their abilities to think critically, discuss, and explain clearly historical issues and problems.
- To cultivate writing, research, and analysis skills that will help students lead successful professional and personal lives.
- To provide a history/education curriculum that imparts a broad base of knowledge about historical events, principles, and theories, so that students have the foundational knowledge they need to educate others.
- To facilitate our students' understanding of their national and community heritage.

"Expecting Isabel" (1998) by Lisa Loomer, now running at Allens Lane Theater, follows the travails of a Manhattan couple in their late 30s who decide to have a baby. It's not Miranda's (Mare Mikalic) idea. In direct audience address, she describes herself as the perfect pessimist and neurotic. But peppy Nick (Michael Sheldon) bounces on stage to propose it, and so casually he might as well be saying "Let's do pizza tonight."
They get more than they bargained for. As this couple virtually goes shopping for a baby, they run a gauntlet of doctors, self-help books, support groups and therapists. And then there are all those dysfunctional family get-togethers. The early going is delightfully funny.
Director Loretta Lucy Miller's pace is frenetic, or we would be there all night. Her backdrop of squirmy sperm could just as easily be a starry night panorama. Actor pantomime and sounds of street life make up for a stage that is bare except for a bank of metal chairs.
Playwright Loomer has a stand-up comic background, and it shows. "Expecting" consists of a long stream of skits (maybe as many as 50), and bit characters as an ensemble tend to take over the play. For much of the time Miranda and Nick seem to be watching, just like us.
Susan Triggiani is terrific as Nick's mom and several other roles. Gene Harris is a show-stopper as a Frankenstein-like doctor and an immigrant cabbie. I also liked Jim Broyles as Nick's comically fertile brother and Linda Palmarozza as Miranda's alcoholic mother.
Act two is equally long as the couple try to adopt. The skits keep coming. Raquel Noemi Perez and Allyson Frick are funny as mothers who consider giving up their children, but by now the mood has turned grim because you see that Miranda and Nick are really getting whipped.
Mikalic and Sheldon work well together as Miranda and Nick, but Loomer's script limits what they can do. We know what the characters are like because they tell us, often in direct address, but you do not feel involved in what they are going through. In "Expecting," pain is shaped into humor. Everyone knows couples who live with the tragedy of infertility, and comedy can be a way of talking about things that are no laughing matter.
Though I very much doubt it was the production's intention, I also found the show to be a sort of burlesque of the modern, consumerist way of life in which a paltry supermarket mentality seeps into the most intimate kinds of decisions.
But is "Expecting" a comedy or a drama? Neither one, it seems to me. Though Allens Lane did a good job staging it, Loomer's play was more like disguised improvisational comedy. "Expecting" is funny, then sad, but I have no idea what Loomer is trying to say.
Allens Lane Theater is located at Allens Lane near McCallum Street in West Mt. Airy. "Expecting Isabel" will run through Dec. 1. Reservations at 215-248-0546.

Death Tax Repeal Act Moving Forward, Migrant Workers Battling Farms
- Texas Congressman Kevin Brady's Death Tax Repeal Act has 218 co-sponsors. The proposed legislation would repeal estate taxes.
American Farm Bureau President Bob Stallman says although permanent law enacted as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 provided significant estate tax relief, repeal is the best solution to protect all farms and ranchers from the estate tax.
If Congress fails to permanently repeal the estate tax, the AFBF says surviving family members may be forced to sell off parts of their farms which could jeopardize their livelihoods.
- "Not fair and not just" is the way farm worker advocate Rosalinda Guillen described the decision of Sakuma Farms to stop allowing migrant workers families to stay rent free during the summer harvest.
The workers claim the move is a retaliation by the farms owner to unionization and several strikes last year demanding better pay. The workers have gone to Skagit County Superior Court to ask Judge Susan Cook to order the company to continue housing the workers and their families.
The ruling could have far reaching ramifications for other migrant housing operations.

Herman Blume & Rosemary Cross 4Ever
Hyde Park On Hudson
Rushmore 2ish
Official Website | Trailers & Mo
R | 94 min
You love Wes Anderson's Rushmore. Of course you do. A sequel will never EVER happen, but what if there was another movie pairing Herman Blume (Bill Murray) & Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams), but instead of them being Herman Blume & Rosemary Cross, they were FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt? What if I told you that this movie ALSO included hand jobs (but spankfully not ones given to or from Eleanor Roosevelt)? Well, that's sorta what Roger Michell's Hyde Park On Hudson is, with some FDR cousin (Laura Linney) loving & royal visiting from those blokes from The King's Speech (Bertie stuttered here by Samuel West & the not so mum Queen mum by Olivia Colman) tossed in. This movie is barely a movie, as the plot is basically whether or not the King of England will eat a hot dog or not, but this barely movie is totally watchable, cause Billy Murray as FDR getting mad action while not being able to use his legs is totally watchable. Doesn't that sound totally watchable?

Son Of ACTA (But Worse): Meet TPP, The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement
from the any-which-way dept
The folks over at Public Knowledge have put together some initial information on the TPP, noting that it's basically "ACTA the Sequel." It's actually worse than that. As KEI has discussed TPP will be a much stricter form of agreement:
Unlike ACTA, the TPP will be subject to a dispute resolution process, which means that the U.S. and other countries will be subject to "fines" if they are not in compliance with the agreement.Not surprisingly, just like ACTA, it appears that the USTR has decided that "transparency" as required by the Obama administration really means no transparency. Once again, KEI notes the ridiculousness of this:
The Obama Administration has developed a policy on transparency for the TPP negotiations which apparently does not involve any commitments to sharing the text with the general public, even after it has been given to all member countries in the negotiation and to hundreds of corporate insiders on the USTR advisory board system.It appears the lesson that the USTR learned from all the complaints about a total lack of transparency on ACTA was that it could get away with basically refusing to include the public (the biggest stakeholder here) entirely.

WELLESLEY, Mass. -- Wellesley College pitchers Lauren Goldfarb and Sara Schwartzmeyer combined to surrender just three hits as the Blue softball team swept a doubleheader against New England Women's And Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) rival, MIT on Thursday afternoon. Goldfarb pitched a two-hit shutout in game one, as Wellesley won 8-0 in six innings, while Schwartzmeyer allowed just one hit in a 9-0, five inning victory in game two.
The wins improve Wellesley to 8-3 in the NEWMAC, 20-9 overall. The Blue have now won 20 games or more in each of their seven seasons as a varsity program. MIT drops to 3-9 in the NEWMAC, 4-17 overall.
Wellesley struck for 17 hits in game one, as each starter tacked on a hit. Goldfarb aided her cause with a 3-4 performance at the plate, while getting the six-inning victory in the circle. She walked three and struck out six to pick up her eighth win of the season.
Also for the Blue, Mara Blesoff went 2-3 including a walk-off double to end the game, while Sara Del Balzo and Sam Spiga each went 3-4. Rachel Harris and Lindsay Johnson each picked up two RBI, while Megan Townsend went 2-2 with two runs scored.
MIT's Katie Harrington and Michelle Dion each picked up hits for the Engineers in game one.
In game two, the Blue struck for seven unearned runs in the bottom of the second and then a walk-off home run off the bat of Blesoff ended the game, 9-0 in the fifth inning. Schwartzmeyer tossed five shut-out innings, allowing just one hit with three walks and six strikeouts.
At the plate, Goldfarb and Sinta Cebrian each doubled with two RBI, while Townsend also added an RBI.
MIT's lone hit in game two came from Dion.
Wellesley continues NEWMAC play with a Friday doubleheader at conference-leading Coast Guard. MIT also plays a conference doubleheader on Friday, traveling to Clark at 3:00pm.

By plane, bus or the Hurtigruta.
Just some 10 kilometers outside of Brønnøysund, you have the mountain Torghatten with it's characteristic hole all the way through.
Affractions/activities: Torghatten - This hill is renowned for its distinctive hole piercing straight through the hillside. You really get the sense of man's inferiority to nature when you walk through the 160 metre long, 35 metre high and 15-20 metre wide hole, created thousands of years ago by the sea's erosion. The hill is 15 km from Brønnøysund.
Skarsåsen Fortress 5 km south-east of Brønnøysund is a German coastal fortress from the Second World War. Trenches and tunnels lead underground from the four large cannon sites. There are also many local defence sites and the remains of 11 barracks, as well as a cannon and searchlight. Today Skarsåsen is a beautiful area combining overview and insight into local and world-wide history.

Four entries have been submitted for the December Try of the Month award in the Women's All-Ireland League. The scorer of the #AILWomensTry of the Month receives a voucher for 250 euro.
Download the report - click here
The IRFU, in conjunction with the four provincial branches, set out to meet with its member clubs to listen to the challenges facing Irish club rugby.
Throughout the whole process, 94% of all clubs in Ireland engaged in the initiative through 42 individual meetings convened in 21 different venues across Ireland.
The meetings provided an ideal opportunity for the IRFU to communicate the state and structure of the game and to share information on how revenue is generated and subsequently distributed for the development of rugby.
It also allowed the club representatives the opportunity to ask direct questions and to convey their concerns to the IRFU.
As well as the engagement meetings, independent research was commissioned to provide an overall picture of where the game rests in the fabric of modern Ireland.
The research, by Millward Brown Lansdowne, was directed at participants not actively involved in the game and produced results that demonstrated the increased interest in the game.
IRFU Director of Rugby Development and the Club Game, Scott Walker, who facilitated and attended all of the meetings, said: "What was encouraging from the very first meeting was the number of committed and passionate volunteers who were prepared to meet and discuss the issues facing Irish club rugby.
"All of the 42 meetings were open forums to discuss whatever people felt was important to the future of the sport at club level. A range of issues were put on the table in full and sometimes heated discussions, but I believe everybody left each meeting with a better understanding.
"What originally started as a desire to communicate directly with the clubs has furnished the IRFU with invaluable information to allow us to tackle these issues.

Market finishes reporting season with a bang
The Australian share market has finished company reporting season with a bang, closing up 1.3 per cent.
The All Ordinaries index closed 67 points higher at 5,120, while the ASX 200 added 68 points to close at 5,104.
The day started with a positive lead from Wall Street and the market rose further as more first-half profit results rolled in.
Food and drink business were among those that cashed in; supermarket giant Woolworths added 2.7 per cent and Treasury Wine Estates closed up 8.2 per cent.
But even companies with less than stellar profits rose; retailer Harvey Norman reported a 36 per cent slide in first-half profits but its shares still closed 9.2 per cent higher.
Other retailers also ended higher, with David Jones up 2.2 per cent and department store rival Myer up 3 per cent.
Mining companies did not miss out, with Rio Tinto rising 1.6 per cent over a 1 per cent gain for rival BHP Billiton.
The big four banks also performed strongly; Commonwealth and Westpac closed 1.9 per cent higher, ANZ was up 1.6 per cent and NAB added 0.6 per cent.
Telstra was among a small list of losers, falling 0.4 per cent.
Online travel company Wotif fell another 8.4 per cent after Wednesday's profit results.
The market was buoyant despite some more negative economic data.
The Bureau of Statistics capital expenditure figures show business investment fell 1.2 per cent in the final three months of last year.

Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is widely recognised as the optimal solution for providing broadband to new and existing communities. Unlike xDSL and cable services that take advantage of legacy telephone lines and TV cables, FTTH involves the installation of optical fiber from a central office to homes. Although the bandwidth of current FTTH services is around 10s of Mbps, the investment in fiber deployment actually future-proofs the infrastructure to meet the bandwidth demands of hundreds of Mbps to 1 Gbps per subscriber line in the next decade.
An innovative technology for FTTH implementation, Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) provides unprecedented bandwidth (up to 2.5 Gbps downstream rate, shared by up to 128 premises), and a greater distance from a central office (20 to 40 kilometres, as opposed to 4~5 kilometre for DSL), allowing service providers to enable bandwidth-intensive applications and establish a long-term strategic position in the broadband market.
GPON utilises point-to-multipoint topology. A passive fiber splitter is used to split the fiber to multiple premises, thus reducing the amount of fiber and central office equipment required compared with point-to-point architectures. The passive nature of GPON eliminates the use of electricity, making it possible to install the splitter in a place where power is not easy to acquire. It is also more energy efficient.
GPON Optical Network Terminal devices deliver high-speed voice, data and video services to residential and business subscribers. They leverage the extraordinary bandwidth of GPON technology, providing a reliable, long-reach last-mile connection by extending the public high-bandwidth network to those living and working in remote homes and home offices.

Marketing is different when you're the business.
Not all agencies understand this.
I'm the Marketing agency built for you.
Real marketing isn't measured in the number of blog posts, Instagram photos, or likes on Facebook….
Branding is about the laws of attraction. Buying decisions tend to be rational, but emotions attract customers to a sales conversation….
Whether it's your name on the logo or not, marketing is different when you're the business. Not all agencies understand this. I'm the Marketing agency built for you.
From one entrepreneur to another, I can advise you on how to right-size a marketing investment for the business outcomes you seek and get you into the market with a solid strategy and execution plan .
I'm honored to be trusted by entrepreneurs in many fields to grow their business brands and professional reputations. Let's talk soon about what we can do together!
"Leo is smart, curious and relational. He completely understands the long arc of the social media world, and has really helped me position myself in ways that are going to be fantastic going forward. Leo met with me personally and explained it all: I was starting at ground zero - but with his expert guidance I'm going about this the right way. " -Julie A, Business Coach and Consultant.
'After trying many web based ad sites and companys we found Leo Bogee. Long story short, Leo has added 30% to our overall monthly revenue and was able to bring in video and web designers that were not only professional put got things done in days not weeks. He will be a part of our Ad team for years to come." -Nick N, Business Owner Auto Repair and Service
"He has been an invaluable resource in the area of business structure, partnerships, incorporation, and creative financing. Besides knowledge (wisdom) and experience, Leo has the ability to clearly and concisely explain difficult and foreign concepts that are new to me. What really stands out about Leo is that he is 100 percent on his game 100 percent of the time. I wholeheartedly recommend him with zero hesitation in any setting." -Sarah K, Business Owner and Consultant
"I was impressed with Leo's presence and abilities at my initial meeting with Leo and I highly recommend him as a Marketing Consultant. He is an amazing resource, coach, and sounding board. Two results: 1) He helped me get powerfully related to what is important to me and what I am committed to giving. 2) He assisted me in determining which of my services I could combine/consolidate and successfully market, which has my business brand operate clearly and powerfully now." -Mari H, Entertainer and Writer.
Lots of ideas, little execution. Some months spent thousands on print media and Google ads, others none. Either way didn't seem to make a difference.
Go big on social, mainly focused on "I'm your neighborhood guy" on Facebook. Regular engaging content, some technical, some humorous & lifestyle oriented.
60% income growth per stall. More customs and project work so increased profits. 2nd year in, I'm ready to expand my shop.

About Boom Beach-
Boom Beach is a strategy game and combines attacks on other players with attacks against computer based bases. The game's story-line is set in a tropical archipelago with the player on an island with defences and troops (similar to the gameplay in Supercell's Clash of Clans game) Players can build their base, upgrading their defenses and other buildings, and unlock troop upgrades. Boom Beach includes single player campaign play as well as the ability to attack other players in multiplayer mode. It has been a top 10 game in 22 countries at its launch. The game pits the player vs. an enemy known as "The Blackguard" who are often represented by Lt. Hammerman. Apart from the main aspect of the game, there is also a cooperative form where you create task forces. Everyone must gather Intel (whether it be by surviving or ordering attacks, or by rewards), where then upper classed players then attack bases. Each attack lasts a day, with a varying amount of Intel in order to initiate, and the bases are separated from archipelago.

Johnson City, Tenn. -- East Tennessee State freshman Erin Lotzer netted her team-high third goal of the season -- a game-winner -- in leading the Bucs to a 4-1 win against UNC Asheville at the Liberty Bell Soccer Complex on Sept. 20.
Playing in her 61st consecutive match, senior Rebekah Eisenberg opened the scoring at 13:02 when she headed in a blast from junior Lena Summers. UNC Asheville goalkeeper Caroline Jacobson was leaning the wrong way and couldn't snag the redirection. ETSU (4-3) took a 1-0 lead to the break.
The Bulldogs (1-4-1) knotted the score 1-1 in the 59th minute when Kelsey Dawson cleaned up a shot that had bounced over the head of ETSU's sophomore keeper Lauren Fannon.
The score remained tied until 64:04 when freshman Andrea Brown put a rocket off the far post that Lotzer gathered and put into the back of the net.
Junior Kristin Redfern tallied her first goal of the season with a 20-yard blast off a pass Brown in the 86th minute. Less than two minutes later junior Courtney Edde closed the scoring when she headed in a corner kick from junior Lisa Gallagher.
Fannon recorded two saves and improved to 3-0 on the season while UNC Asheville's Jacobsen made four saves.
"This team is starting to understand what it can do," head coach Heather Henson said. "Although we still have a lot of work to do, we are becoming more consistent in the attacking zone."
The Bucs are off to their best start in program history. They have already surpassed last year's win total.
ETSU plays its next two contests on the road -- at UT-Martin on September 23 and at Murray State on September 24.

Metallica Power Through Black Album at Download Festival
Last night (June 9) Metallica headlined night two of the massive stage at the Download Festival at Castle Donington in Leicestershire, U.K. but according to Download Festival booker Andy Copping, the dream show almost never happened.
Copping told Classic Rock that even after Metallica's manger told him they wouldn't be touring the U.K. and Europe in 2012 he held out hope and offered up a genius idea.
Copping, who wanted to find a special way to celebrate the festival's 10th anniversary, recounts the conversation, "I said, 'I want them to do the Black Album.' He [Metallica's manager] said, 'It's a good idea – but they're still not touring.'"
According to Copping, a mere two weeks later, Metallica signed on to play and the rest was history.
Last night the metal giants powered through their eponymous album released in 1991. They played the entire disc in reverse, in addition to a handful of other 'Tallica classics including 'The Four Horseman.'
In the two minute clip fans can watch here, Metallica stop during 'Enter Sandman' for some crowd participation served up Hetfield style, just a small taste of their monster two hour set.
Metallica have posted a slew of photos from the evening on their Facebook page as well, check them out here.

Participants will be asked to complete 7 intervention sessions which include: 1) expressive writing exercises that focus on exploring thoughts and feelings surrounding a difficult life experience; and 2) stress management skills training to assist participants with managing any acute increases in distress that arise following the writing experience.
No Intervention: Attention-Control
Participants will complete 7 sessions where they will be asked to write about neutral topics and complete psychological measures for the purposes of matching for attention and reimbursement.
- Traumatic stress symptom severity [ Time Frame: 3-month follow-up ]Our team will use the Impact of Event Scale to measure the self-reported severity of traumatic stress symptoms related to HIV/AIDS.
- Psychological reactivity to expressive writing [ Time Frame: 1-month follow-up ]Participants will complete measures of subjective distress and craving of stimulants (i.e., methamphetamine, cocaine, and crack) before and after each expressive writing exercise to provide an index of habituation. Habituation is defined as a 50% reduction in the psychological reactivity to the expressive writing experience using these self-report measures.

I'd like to go to Thailand from September 15-19 and enlisted my two Korean co-teachers for help in making reservations. Unfortunately, they are unbelievably inept at doing things online, and I don't read enough Korean to figure out the Korean travel sites for myself. I checked on English speaking sites, but they only quote prices for the most expensive airlines. I was getting quotes like 600,000+ won for a ticket to Thailand, whereas the Korean sites were showing an average of 3-400,000. So, anyway, can someone tell me how they book their own flights? What site should I use? How much should I expect to pay for a ticket to Thailand? Thanks, Q~ EDIT: Ugh... just checked Travelocity and it only had one option at $826. There's GOTTA be a better WAY!

Shiny New Server
Yesterday morning in the wee hours, we migrated the site to a new (faster and bigger) server with a new hosting company. So far, everything appears to not only be working, but the site seems to be running MUCH faster and much more smoothly.
I would be interested to know if everyone is having essentially the same experience in that regard, or if anyone is experiencing any new problems that cropped up in thye last 24-48 hours. Please reply in this thread to let us know your experience thusfar. Whether things are chugging along swimmingly for you... Or, alternatively, if you are having any troubles that seem to have arisen from the move.
If you are looking for hosting for a domain you have and you are technically savvy enough to manage your own server, I highly recommend this new hosting company: Digital Ocean (yeah, that is a referral link... if you use it you'll get a $10 credit and if you spend $25 on hosting, then they will give us a $25 credit toward our hosting.) I've used them before and have always been quite pleased with them and the pricing is awesome too! The lowest cost host you can get there is only $5/mo
Thanks and enjoy the new faster server!

As World Water Week winds down, I headed out with my wife for dinner to honor the UNICEF Tap Project as we have for the last three years, only to notice that no restaurants were participating (something I am committed to change next year).
So we headed north to a place in Los Angeles. There was not much to do during the drive but listen to the heavy rain hit the car's roof, which connects me effortlessly to water.
So can we simply talk about water?
World Water Day on March 22 grew out of the 1992 U.N. Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, an annual event that focuses on the importance of the sustainable management of freshwater resources. The year 2005 marked the start of the U.N. International Decade for Action on water.
"Clean water is essential, yet nearly 900 million people worldwide lack access to it, and nearly half of those people are children," according to UNICEF. "Every day, 22,000 children die of preventable causes, and UNICEF is committed to do whatever it takes to make that number zero."
UNICEF is working to halve the number of people without access to safe water and basic sanitation by 2015. UNICEF's Tap Project asks restaurant patrons to donate a dollar for the glass of water they usually get for free.
"Unless more sustainable water resource management practices are adopted by companies and individuals, almost half of the global economy, and more than half of the world's population, will be exposed to severe water scarcity by 2050," according to Veolia Water's website.
Freshwater is not only used for producing food and energy; it is also used to produce goods. That morning coffee you had today has a water footprint close to 40 gallons, and it takes about 1,800 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to produce those jeans you wear.
To assess your own unique water footprint, you can use the water footprint calculator available on Water Footprint Network's website.
The network wants to promote sustainable, fair and efficient use of freshwater resources worldwide by increasing awareness of how consumption of goods and services and production chains relate to water use and impacts on fresh-water systems, according to its website.
Fortunately, there are some things we can do to reduce our water footprint, starting with conservation. Water Sense, an Environmental Protection Agency program, recommends replacing toilets that are from 1992 or earlier because they use 3.5 gallons per flush. Their website, http://www.epa.gov/watersense, is a good place to visit if you are willing to make a few small changes to your daily routine.
There are two notices related to water published this week I want to share.
First, Stephen Carpenter, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has been named the 2011 Stockholm Water Prize laureate, according to the Stockholm International Water Institute's website. His research demonstrates how lake ecosystems are affected by the surrounding landscape and by human activities.
The second is the Solarball, a water purifier came to my attention in an e-mail from a friend from the water district.
The Solarball looks like a toy but has the potential to save lives. It was developed as a sustainably viable solution for the 900 million people who don't have access to clean water. The device, which takes advantage of the sun's natural purifying abilities, can produce up to three liters of clean water a day. The invention was a finalist in the 2011 Australian Design Awards and will be exhibited at the Milan International Design Fair in April.
If for a brief moment perhaps, we actually connected on water issues, you made my day.
A buck for glass of water seems to be drop in a larger problem, but for the lives you touch that drop can make a huge difference.

On paper, Fred Diaz got a promotion Friday when it was announced that he had agreed to become Nissan Motor Co.'s vice president of Nissan Division sales and marketing.
But in the real world, the 47-year-old now-former head of Chrysler Group's Ram brand and of Chrysler de Mexico likely got his life back with his new job -- with maybe a few extra years tacked onto the backend as a bonus.
All auto executives work hard, and in a global marketplace, work long hours. But Chrysler's top executives have been running the physical equivalent of a sprint for nearly four years -- first to survive, then to turn a profit, and finally to grow.
Since 2009, they have succeeded almost beyond all expectations. I say "almost" because for four years CEO Sergio Marchionne has driven his management team like a Wells-Fargo wagon through a canyon full of thieves, and Diaz is so far the only horse to escape the harness.
I have never questioned Diaz's love of Chrysler or its Ram brand, or even his commitment to see them succeed. They were evident in every conversation I ever had with him, and even moreso in his heartfelt and spontaneous displays of emotion when the Ram 1500 was named North American Truck of the Year in January.
But I also think Diaz, and some of his fellow executives, have begun to realize that living only for Chrysler, by definition, does not have a happy ending. They wear this realization on their prematurely-aging faces, even as their cell phones ring to schedule another weekend meeting.
Diaz might have been the first top Chrysler Group executive to slip the reigns and voluntarily depart for another automaker, but I'd bet even money he won't be the last.

Bernard Lonergans writings are notoriously difficult. On more than one occasion I have noticed eyes roll upward at the very mention of his nameas if someone had brought up the topic of nuclear physics. This only makes the depth of peoples attachment to his thought rather mysterious. After all, in the context of present crises, what value is there in epistemology? What good is cognitive theory for what ails the world? The way Tertullian put it was, What does Athens have to do with Jerusalem?
And yet, since Lonergans death in 1984, there has slowly developed a more and more extensive Lonergan network throughout the world. The Lonergan Research Institute in Toronto, containing the Lonergan archives, is presently collaborating with the University of Toronto Press in publishing the 25 volumes of the Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan. There are Lonergan centers in Boston, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Ottawa, Sydney, Dublin, Naples and elsewheremost with their own Web sites. There are journals, newsletters, yearly conferencesall dedicated to drawing out the implications of his thought.
Why this growing influence? Those of us who were his students in Rome in the 1950s and 60s knew him as a rather un-prepossessing Jesuit teacher who spoke with a pronounced Canadian accent and had a certain grandfatherly mien, albeit at times a somewhat crusty granddad who did not suffer fools lightly. I had him for two semesters, for courses on the Trinity and on Christ, in 1961-2. There were about 650 of us in the great hall of the Gregorian University, and Lonergans lecturesin Latinwere certainly over the heads of most of us. The pedagogical conditions at the Greg in those days were not conducive to interactive learning, to say the least, and yet something special came through. His presentation of the Trinitarian life gave us a glimmer of how our lives are caught up in the mystery of infinite love. He taught us that somehow our own thinking and acting is a participation in the life of the Father, the eternally spoken Word and the Spirit proceeding as love from grasped meaning.
Bill Shea, now the director of the Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., once drew what I consider an accurate portrait:
Bernard Lonergan looked like a man who knew what he was doing and enjoyed it. In the score of times I saw him, I could not take my eyes off him. That is understandable, perhaps, because he was the big man in my small world. But he was not what one would expect a great teacher to be. He had none of the sense of theatrical drama, no flash, no bamboozle, none of the Great Man aura. He had a monotonous voice; his hands shook distractingly; he looked overweight, not at all prepossessing in his physical appearance, and he had little physical grace. Oddly, then, it was a pleasure listening to him and watching him. I think it was because he was very smart and clear about what he was doing, and he did it with pleasure. In the academic world one does not often run into really smart people, though one regularly does run into intelligent and capable people. I had the conviction, both from the time I read Insight and from the first time I listened to him lecture and answer questions, that he was the smartest person I had run into.
Life and Work
Bernard Lonergan was born in Buckingham, Ontario, on Dec. 17, 1904. He attended the ungraded elementary school there, run by the Brothers of Christian Instruction. At the age of 13, he went on to board at the Jesuit high school and junior college of Loyola in Montreal; and on July 22, 1922, he entered the Society of Jesus at Guelph in Ontario. Four years later he was sent to study philosophy at Heythrop College in England, where he found the Suarezian scholasticism taught there incomprehensible. He took refuge in Newman.
My fundamental mentor and guide has been John Henry Newmans Grammar of Assent. I read that in my third year philosophy (at least the analytic parts) about five times and found solutions for my problems. I was not at all satisfied with the philosophy that was being taught and found Newmans presentation to be something that fitted in with the way I knew things. Elsewhere he wrote of Newmans influence: Newmans remark that ten thousand difficulties do not make a doubt has served me in good stead. It encouraged me to look difficulties squarely in the eye, while not letting them interfere with my vocation or my faith.
From Newman he came to a deep appreciation of the process of human judging; but it was from the early dialogues of Plato and Augustine that he came to appreciate the act of understanding. Platos Doctrine of Ideas, by an Oxford don, John Alexander Stewart, led him to understand Plato, not as a proponent of forms in the sky, but rather as a methodologistasking and answering questions that promote understanding. This was reinforced by his reading of the early Platonic dialogues of Augustine, who, on the way to his religious conversion, had been himself influenced by some books of the Platonists in the spring and summer of 386. These writersNewman, Plato and Augustinegave Lonergan what Peter Brown noted that Augustine obtained from the Platonists: that is, the one essential tool for any serious autobiography, a theory of the dynamics of the soul that made sense of his experience.
In 1933 Lonergan was sent to study at the Gregorian in Rome, where he remained until 1940, finishing his doctoral dissertation on Thomas Aquinass teaching on grace. While in Rome he fell under the influence of three Jesuit writers, all of whom led him to Aquinas: Peter Hoenen, Joseph Maréchal and Bernard Leeming. During Leemings course on Christ in 1935-36, Lonergan had his fundamental intellectual conversion: a clarity and distinctness of apprehension of the human act of understanding as the door to knowing reality. That conversion found expression in his Insight (1957), his Method in Theology (1972) and his writings in various fields. That conversion led him to conceive of Catholic theology as oriented to influencing all of human culture: art, literature, science, history, the human sciences and even economic theory. This interdisciplinary and intercultural vision of theology took root in him during the 1940s and 50s, when he taught in the Jesuit seminaries in Canada before being sent back to teach at the Gregorian in 1953.
Insight Into Insight
In the fall of 1964, having finished four years of theology, I too was sent back to Rome to obtain my doctorate in philosophy. At the time, people in the know said to me, Study Lonergan, and I am profoundly grateful they did. Through that concentrated encounter with his work, especially his 700-page Insight: An Essay on Human Understanding, I changed. The reason he was over my head when I had him as a young student was that I needed to change in order to understand what he was about. The core of Lonergans appeal is what he called self-appropriation, a personal act of taking possession of ones own consciousness.
In Insight Lonergan takes the reader through a demanding tour of modern mathematical physics, but his point is not to learn physics but to learn about oneself. It is a question of coming to understand, through numerous personal experiments, the structure of ones own consciousness. Insight into insight, he called it in short. One reason people are so committed to so exigent a thinker as Lonergan is that he promotes a very personal act of commitment, a commitment to an understanding of ones own self. He explains:
The crucial issue is an experimental issue, and the experiment will be performed not publicly but privately.... No one else, no matter what his knowledge or his eloquence, no matter what his logical rigor or his persuasiveness, can do it for you. But though the act is private, both its antecedents and its consequents have their public manifestation. Winter twilight cannot be mistaken for the summer noonday sun.
The promise was extraordinary, looking to a very distinctive peak experience. He wrote of it as an experience of startling strangenessand that was my experience. Some 35 years later, I can remember as if it were yesterday the moment when it all came home to me. It was a late afternoon in Rome in the spring of 1966 and I had been studying Insight a good part of the day. I decided to take a shower (there was warm water during those hours of the day), and while taking that shower it hit me: Hes talking about me! It would take many pages to describe the content of that insight, but suffice it to say that what hit me that day has never left me. Lonergans main goal was not that one might become a Lonerganian, but that one might come to know ones own mind and the structure of the reality that the mind is seeking to know.
A Charism for the Church?
At a time of great suffering and even tragedy in the church, it is very important to look for the gifts God is giving to the church. One such gift wasand isBernard Lonergan. He lived in the 20th century, 1904 to 1984, but his thought will become even more influential in the 21st century. Just as Thomas Aquinas provided the language with which the Western church for 800 years largely came to understand itself, so there is need for some such common language today. Discussing Aquinass influence on culture, Lonergan wrote:
In the medieval period theology became the queen of the sciences. But in the practice of Aquinas it was also the principle for the molding and transforming of a culture. At a time when Arabic and Greek thought were penetrating the whole of Western culture, he wrote extensive commentaries on numerous works of Aristotle to fit a pagans science within a Christian context and to construct a world view that underpinned Dantes Divine Comedy. To this paradigm theology today must look if it is to achieve its aggiornamento.
Lonergans spirituality is a spirituality of the Word as it spreads out to all of human culture. Such a spirituality radiates outward to focus on the long-term cultural implications of the Gospel. In an empirically inclined culture from which God is often so decidedly absent, Lonergans thought can open upeven in the midst of scientific and scholarly workthe question of God that lurks just below the surface. The conversion in our understanding of ourselves promoted by Lonergan can break open the hardened symbols and clichés of misunderstanding that so often define our culture. Besides a wordless apophatic spirituality that loses itself in contemplation, there is also a need today for a kataphatic spirituality that values the Word and shows how that Word fits into our other human wordssciences, scholarly disciplines, literatureso that God can have a say in the world we construct.
Lonergans triad of experience, understanding and judging is the subjective side of Aquinass potency, form and actand only by showing this subjective side can we in the third millennium arrive at a wisdom that links the disciplines with the world of faith. When the natural and human sciences are on the move, when the social order is developing, when the everyday dimensions of culture are changing, Lonergan wrote, what is needed is not a dam to block the stream but control of the river-bed through which the stream must flow.
A student of Lonergans thoughtobviously a fansaid to me not so long ago: There hasnt been anyone like him since Aquinas, and there wont be anyone like him for the next 200 years. Certainly, most of us who had him in class in Rome in the 1950s and 60s did not think of him as epochal, but it looks, at the beginning of the third millennium, as if his stature will continue to grow. The key to the mystery of Lonergans appeal is that he has provided a language that makes it possible for persons of faith to move through the welter of contemporary movements toward an understanding of themselves, the universeand God. As he put it in Insight, Thoroughly understand what it is to understand, and not only will you understand the broad lines of all there is to be understood but also you will possess a fixed base, an invariant pattern, opening upon all further developments of understanding.
Great teachers in the church, like Augustine, Aquinas, Teresa of Avila and Thérèse of Lisieux, have been named doctors of the church. They have combined holiness with the ability to teach others and help others find their way in the world. In a day when English is the lingua franca of the world, there are still no English-speaking doctors of the church. I await with eagerness the naming of John Henry Newman as such a doctor, and I hope that Bernard Lonergan will not be far behind.

Some passengers aboard a plane whose nose gear collapsed on a Philadelphia runway finally made it to South Florida early Friday.
Officials say US Airways Flight 1702 was heading for Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport shortly after 6 p.m. Thursday when a tire on the front landing gear blew out, forcing the pilot to abort takeoff at Philadelphia International Airport.
The FAA website reported that the take off was aborted due to smoke in the No. 1 engine and then the nose gear collapsed. But that initial post was removed.
The Airbus A320 jet was carrying 149 passengers and five crew members.
Some of those passengers boarded a new flight that landed in Florida early Friday, and several spoke with local media outlets.
"We started skidding down the runway, people were screaming and crying. It was quite harrowing," Dennis Fee said.
Other passengers said the emergency was over quickly. The plane momentarily got off the ground before slamming back down, and people smelled smoke before getting out into the cold. Many ran away from the plane because they feared it would explode.
"All the sudden we slammed back into the runway and bounced, and we go up a little more and we slam again. It happened very quickly, so we didn't know exactly what was going on," Larry Grant said. "Almost instantaneously people from the back were screaming 'fire, fire,' and so passengers did what they were supposed to do and they pulled the emergency doors over the window, and we started to proceed and the ramps inflated, and we got everybody out. We slid down the ramps, very fast."
A group of Belgian firefighters heading to training in Fort Lauderdale suddenly found themselves assisting with the evacuation.
"We are used to emergencies, but not as victims," said Peter Fredricks.
An airport spokeswoman in Philadelphia said two passengers requested medical attention, but no serious injuries were reported.
The crippled plane was removed from the runway in Philadelphia and taken to a hanger to await examination by investigators. All runways there were reopened as of midmorning Friday.

Yet Another Judge Slams Copyright Trolls; Warns That Courts Should Not Be Used To 'Bludgeon' People Into Settling
from the down-they-go dept
In sum, although the complaints state that IP addresses are assigned to "devices" and thus by discovering the individual associated with that IP address will reveal "defendants' true identity," this is unlikely to be the case. Most, if not all, of the IP addresses will actually reflect a wireless router or other networking device, meaning that while the ISPs will provide the name of its subscriber, the alleged infringer could be the subscriber, a member of his or her family, an employee, invitee, neighbor or interloperThere are a number of issues specific to the claims of the plaintiff, K-Beech in this case, including its failure to register the copyrights in question, and a weak attempt at lumping in a trademark claim after this came to light. However, what becomes clear pretty quickly is that the judge isn't buying any of this, and sees that it's really just an attempt to use the courts to shake people down. It starts off with the discovery request going far beyond what's necessary to take a case to trial:
However, not all the information sought is required to advance the claim. For example, in addition to names and addresses, plaintiffs seek both the home telephone numbers and email addresses of the putative John Does... information which is clearly not required to proceed with this action. In particular, obtaining the home telephone numbers seems calculated to further plaintiffs' settlement strategies, discussed above, rather than advancing their claims by allowing them to effect service.But the larger point is that the court recognizes these kinds of copyright trolling lawsuits as "abusive litigation tactics." While the court notes that it can and should encourage settlements, it also notes that the rules say those settlements should be "just" and it's not clear that's what's happening here:
Our federal court system provides litigants with some of the finest tools available to assist in resolving disputes; the courts should not, however, permit those tools to be used as a bludgeon.The court then goes on to agree with many other courts in noting that lumping a bunch of defendants together in the same lawsuit is improper joinder, and agrees to only allow discovery on the very first IP address named in each of the lawsuits being considered.
On the whole, there isn't that much different about this ruling from a bunch of other recent rulings, but it's another one to add to the pile, and it gets clearer and clearer every day that the courts are now aware of how trolls are abusing the system, and less and less likely to allow such abuse.
