October 2011 Update
Posted on 25. Oct, 2011 by Paul Burwell.
An entrepreneur is always hesitant to complain about being too busy. After all, the alternative can lead to difficulty putting food on the table. That being said, I would have to confess that I've found this fall to be a bit busy for my liking. I've had workshops of one description or another almost every weekend. Additionally, it seems that this is the time of year many galleries have their calls for submissions due. Add that together with some writing, some home renovations, some new photo contracts and I suddenly find that I'm…

Prairie dogs, falcons and hawks with thanks
Posted on 19. Sep, 2011 by Paul Burwell.
It is always great to get together with a bunch of like-minded folks where I can share my passion for wildlife photography. We spent a full day in the classroom Saturday and then on Sunday morning we took a field trip to a number of locations to help the student's practice what they'd learned during Saturday's lecture. We visited the world's northern most…

Learning to slow down and starting to really see
Posted on 06. Sep, 2011 by Paul Burwell.
But it wasn't until this summer that I finally started to take a good look around what's been hiding in plain site, just outside my office. You see, I got married last fall (finally! hurray!) and I've moved into the house that my was living in. It's a fantastic little house built during the war in the 1940's and one of its fantastic features is a very large back yard (at least by city standards). My wife is a fantastic gardener and in addition to a few vegetable crops we have tremendous wildflower and sunflower gardens.
This summer I managed to slow myself down a little more and now I'm seeing all these little critters who I previously…

June Update
Posted on 07. Jun, 2011 by Paul Burwell.
I just finished a weekend workshop called Photography Fundamentals with a great group of people. We had a great weekend of weather which allowed the students to get outside and photograph on the beautiful grounds of the Providence Centre, the new home for my Burwell School of Photography. After the workshop was over I spent some time reviewing some of the images my students made during the course and it was very exciting to see the marked improvement in their photography…

1400mm with the 5D Mark II done sharply

I recalled an experiment I did a couple of years ago with my 500mm lens paired with BOTH the 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters (also known as stacking teleconverters) which yielded a 1400mm focal length at F11 as the largest aperture. I was able to achieve really good results…

WESTON, Mass. – The MIT women's volleyball team opened its season by winning all four matches en route to a first place finish at the Regis College Pride Invitational held this past weekend. Junior Katie Spielbauer (Lakeview, Mich.) was named the Tournament MVP while senior Kelly Schulte (Riverside, Calif.) earned All-Tournament team honors.
The Cardinal and Gray swept Suffolk University, 25-5, 25-13, 25-22, in the first match on Friday afternoon. Junior Trinity Leonard (Mill Valley, Calif.) led MIT's balanced attack with five kills while freshmen Kayla Harris (Baton Rouge, La.) and Sarah Oberhelman (New Orleans, La.) both had four kills. Senior Cecily Joujon-Roche (Laguna Hills, Calif.) connected on four of her seven hitting attempts to go along with two blocks. Sophomore Tatiana Berger (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) posted three kills as fellow classmate Kristine Bunker (Falmouth, Mass.) chipped in two kills and two blocks. Schulte tallied four aces, two kills and a block while Spielbauer notched eight digs and two aces. Sophomore Sharon Hao (San Jose, Calif.) led the setting corps with 16 assists, followed by seven from freshman Jenny Astrachan (Austin, Texas) and three from freshman Nicole Gagnier (Atlanta, Ga.). Senior Natasha Jensen (Columbia, Md.) and sophomore Jess Fessler (Shortsville, N.Y.) rounded out the defense with six and four digs.
Against NEWMAC foe WPI, MIT emerged with a 25-16, 25-17, 24-26, 25-19 victory. Leonard racked up eight kills, six digs, and three blocks as Bunker totaled seven kills, a .545 hitting percentage, and five blocks.

Junior Alyssa Rothman (Plainview, N.Y.) dished out eight assists while Spielbauer amassed 19 digs and four aces. Jensen collected seven digs as Fessler finished with five.
The Engineers overpowered Regis, 25-13, 25-12, 25-18, to kick off action on Saturday. Sophomore Rachel Hunt (Arlington Heights, Ill.) led the front row with five kills and a .714 hitting percentage. Berger, Oberhelman, and Leonard each chipped in four kills. Berger added a trio of aces and digs while Oberhelman had two aces and two digs. Joujon-Roche notched three kills, three blocks, and two aces as Bunker tacked on three blocks and three aces. Schulte had three aces and two blocks while Jensen totaled four digs and two aces. All four setters saw playing time as Hao paced the group with 10 assists followed by Astrachan (eight), Gagnier (five), and Rothman (three). Freshman Jody Fu (San Francisco, Calif.), Hao, and Fessler each contributed three digs while Rothman earned two aces.
In the finale, MIT defeated Worcester State University, 25-9, 25-16, 25-17. Leonard powered the attack with nine kills and recorded five digs as freshman Morgan Stewart (Powell, Ohio) totaled five kills, a .714 hitting percentage, and two blocks.

Hello ppl,
I couldn't think of any other forum where this question might have been suitable. Sorry.
I set up an 8-machine cluster running RHL8.0 for some parallel processing work. Though each machine has an identical build both in terms of hardware and OS, I can't seem to run remote commands with rsh between machine#1 and machine#3. On all other machines rsh is running fine. For example,
mach01$> rsh mach02 ls <--- this works
mach01$> rsh mach03 ls <--- doesn't work, gives access denied
mach01 is already listed in mach03's /etc/hosts.equiv file. This is evident coz, I can remote login from mach01 to 03
mach01$> rsh mach03 <--- this works, logs me into mach03
So, overall, rsh is working but it won't let me execute remote commands. What am I doing wrong? I even added the machine names in .rhosts in the user home directory, but still to no avail.
Any help in this matter would be really appreciated. Thanx a ton.

Yangon, Feb 26: The Indian national football team reached Yangon Tuesday morning for the upcoming AFC Challenge Cup which kicks off March 2.
The squad left Mumbai late Monday evening, and landed early morning at the Yangon International Airport here via Singapore.
India are the first team from their group to arrive here. Besides hosts Myanmar, Chinese Taipei and Guam are the other teams in the group.
However, keeping in mind Churchill Brothers' and East Bengal's commitments in the AFC Cup, the squad would be assembling in three batches.
The four players from Churchill Brothers - Sandip Nandy, Denzil Franco, Lenny Rodrigues and Sunil Chhetri - would be joining the squad Wednesday while the three East Bengal players - Raju Gaikwad, Mehtab Hossain and Robin Singh - would be landing in Myanmar Thursday.
"It feels nice to land in Myanmar for the AFC Challenge Cup. It's a tricky group and all the teams are very competitive ones," national coach Wim Koevermans said.
"This is a very important tournament for us in fact the most important. We need to play to our potential. The boys are in good shape," winger Clifford Miranda stressed.
All India Football Federation (AIFF) Player of the Year Syed Rahim Nabi stays confident the squad will rise to the occasion.
"We need to keep our faith in ourselves. We need to back ourselves both on and off the field. We need to behave as a team," Nabi said.
Striker Jeje Lalpekhlua who made a comeback into the squad after almost a year said the tournament would be a challenging one.
"We have played Myanmar and Chinese Taipei in the recent past and they are very dangerous opponents. Guam would also put up a tough challenge. I'm happy and relieved that my hard work has paid off. Every player wants to be a part of the national squad. This is a new beginning for me. I will have to work harder and wait for my chance," Lalpekhlua said.
Pailan Arrows defender Shouvik Ghosh maintained the Camp in Pune was a fruitful one.
"It was a learning curve for me. The intensity of international football is what makes a player mature. The coach did have some specific instructions for me and I'm improving as a player with his suggestions."
India play Chinese Taipei in their first match March 2.
The 23-member squad is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Subrata Paul (Prayag United), Sandip Nandy (Churchill Brothers), Karanjit Singh (Salgaocar SC).
Defenders: Nirmal Chhetri, Syed Rahim Nabi (both from Mohun Bagan), Denzil Franco (Churchill Brothers), Gouramangi Singh (Prayag United), Rowilson Rodrigues (Dempo SC), Shouvik Ghosh (Pailan Arrows), Raju Gaikwad (East Bengal), Gurjinder Singh (Pune FC).
Midfielders: Lenny Rodrigues (Churchill Brothers), Lalkamal Bhowmick, C.K. Vineet (both from Prayag United), Arata Izumi (Pune FC), Mehtab Hossain (East Bengal), Francisco Fernandes (Salgaocar SC), Alwyn George (Pailan Arrows), Jewel Raja Shaikh (Mohun Bagan), Clifford Miranda (Dempo SC).
Forwards: Sunil Chhetri (Churchill Brothers), Robin Singh (East Bengal), Jeje Lalpekhlua (Pune FC).

It's a strange decision with quirky reasoning. But I guess it's the best we get.

Minato understood that the masked man would come back to attack Konoha once again. He thought of him as a harbinger of disaster. He believed Naruto, using half of the Kyuubi's power, would be able to stop him.
In turn this would preserve the balance of power between villages as well. The tailed beasts themselves might not have been used, but the jinchuuriki probably were. Naruto and Bee are both kage level ninjas. So having one or two of these powerful jinchuuriki in your country is very important to show other countries how strong you are. It will keep them from attacking you. Even though the Hidden Cloud had two of them, Konoha had the strongest Bijuu. So I guess this was a 'fair split'.

also, minato predicted that naruto would have to use the kyuubi's power to fight tobi and other powerful ninja who may come along down the line to attack konoha. it's exactly what naruto is doing right now and it was most of the reason for minato including his and kushina's chakra in the seal. it was so they could help naruto use the kyuubi's power, among other things, but that was a primary reason

Agreed. Minato's fight against Tobi/Madara was epic, albeit fairly brief. At the end, Minato used his skills, tactics, intelligence, ninjutsu, and strength to own Tobi and take away control off the Kyubi off the masked guy.
Now, one thing that made me to praise both Minato and Kushinas' last moments together and with Naruto was their sacrifice which was emotionally enhanced by two wonderful soundtrack pieces.
The first aria played around the time that Minato told Kushina his plan to prepare Naruto to make him the vessel for the Kyuubi and sealing part of the Kyuubi's chakra within himself.
The second one played at the episode's climax and conclusion when Kushina as a mother said her parting words to Naruto; a flawlessly touching moment between mother and her child.

Minato took out one of Tobi's arms therefore eliminating any hand-signs for his jutsu. Tobi was smart enough to know that fighting Minato at less than 100% was suicide.

God, this double-episode was amazing. Emotional, actiona-packed, suspenseful. Amazing. I hardly have the words.
Kushina's final words to Naruto were heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I couldn't help it. I cried.

I must say i hardly ever comment in the Naruto forum and im not one for being that emotional either but the final farewell of both Minato and Kushina as they protected their son was overwhelming powerful for me. Its been a long time in Naruto that i could honestly say i was drawn in. I felt it was equally powerful as Naruto told his Mother he never held what they did against them because they sacrificed their lives for him and he had never known parental love till he met his Mother and father. I think these words gave him mother peace she never wanted this kind of hard life for her son and i think she felt guilty all this time. But Naruto eased that pain and she and Minato can now pass on knowing their son will continue the will Fire. It was very touching and i think now that Naruto has all this info he can move forward with what he knows he must do.
I said this before but i still think it sucks that after all this time the village still does not know Naruto is the son of the 4th. Im not sure about the manga since i dont read it so i can only base this on the anime. But i feel that Naruto existence and linage should be known its not fair to him nor to ancestors. i hope one day that the hidden leaf knows that the one they call the hero of the leaf who saved them from Pain came from serous stock and his father and mother gave their lives to protect Konoha and Naurto is no different

A little late to the party, but I have to comment anyways. I haven't watched Naruto in years, but ever since I read this part I couldn't wait for it to get animated. I just finished watching 246-249 and boy, was the wait ever worth it. The story of Minato & Kushina was so well done, and the cut-ins to the present day with Naruto/Kushina fit in perfectly.
I take no shame in saying that Kushina's final speeches (both past and present) made me shed tears. It was done perfectly, and is one of the extremely few times where I wished there was a happy ending, regardless of how well the actual conclusion turned out to be. I would've enjoyed watching an entire series of Naruto's family, his parents are the now easily my favourite part of the series.
Needless to say, 246-249 are forever going to be archived as a testament to how good the truly were.

Week #15 – Sports
Week 15. Sports. Did you have a favorite sports team as a child? If so, which one and why. Did your parents follow the same teams? Do you still support the same teams?
This challenge runs from Saturday, April 9, 2011 through Friday, April 15, 2011.
This is very late, as week 15 was a couple of weeks ago. I'm recovering from my cold and new job training, so I can actually get to writing the post...
I was never a big sports guy. In fact, growing up, I was always the little guy, picked last or nearly so. I only got involved in organized team sports once, when I played flag football in 5th grade. Obviously being the little guy, I didn't play line. I was at halfback, where I could use my speed to carry the ball. I wasn't all that good at it anyway, and that year was enough to convince me I wasn't a football player.
I don't tend to watch sports on TV much, either. I'd rather watch in person, and can't afford to do that often either. My father is the sports nut of the family. He's always watching something, now that cable has many sports channels.

Not bad. A useful product. But most of them may not find its usefulness in its features.
just downloaded it I just downloaded it. I was trying to download a iso image for a linux operating system and my download gets interupted or corrupted.I haven't read the instructions yet to see how this works so I don't really have an opinion on this yet. The program interface seems simple and straighforward though.
Use of Checksum Verifier I found this verifier difficult. There were no instructions and I was not able to see how to check the values against a known number.
Very good product. Light weight and fast even on files over 3GB in size. I've added it to my thumbdrive tool kit.
My take on MD5 Hasher A decent program, no fuss, just straight up hashing.
Good program Nice MD5 program with ease of integration.Lacks some kind of installation program.

There is little doubt that Baker School tailback D.J. Thomas is enjoying a stellar senior season. Thomas has amassed more than 1,108 yards rushing and scored 19 touchdowns after six weeks of the 2013 season.
There is little doubt that Baker School tailback D.J. Thomas is enjoying a stellar senior season. Thomas has amassed more than 1,108 yards rushing and scored 19 touchdowns after six weeks of the 2013 season.
In other words, through six games, Thomas was averaging 184.7 yards and just less than three touchdowns a game � and he accomplished that despite being limited to nine carries against Holmes County, 12 carries against Freeport and 15 carries against North Bay.
Thomas' 17 touchdowns match the total he scored in 10 games last year.
If Thomas continues on his current rushing and scoring pace � and the Gators make it to the state championship game, which would be the season�s 14th game � he would finish the year with 2,585 yards rushing and 40 touchdowns.
Where would an almost 2,600-yard season place him among the all-time state leaders? That's a question that's easier asked than answered.
I've done a lot of research and found two players � Derrick Henry of Yulee and Travis Henry of Frostproof � who rushed for more than 4,000 yards in one year.
As far as I can tell, the players are not related and Derrick Henry ran 4,265 yards last season. Travis Henry had 4,087 yards in 1996.
The fact is, school records are difficult enough to track and state and national high school records are harder to find.
Whereas most colleges and all the pros can count on staffs of professionals to keep records in order, high school records often get lost from one coaching staff to the next. Newspapers help somewhat, but those of us covering high school sports often have to rely on coaches to get us the stats from games we miss and there can be gaps in those records.
I've found that longtime coaches who attended the school where they coach can often help fill in the blanks, but that's no guarantee either.
Back in 1994, while working for a Tennessee paper, I covered a game in which Sweetwater High School tailback Heath Hawkins rushed for 360 yards that night. I had only been on the job a few weeks and I didn't realize it was a single-game school record.
The following Monday, the advertising director, who also was the Sweetwater head coach�s wife, ripped into me for not crediting Hawkins with his record. Since she seemed to know it was a record, I asked her whose record Hawkins broke and she couldn't tell me.
I checked with the coaches at the school, the team radio guy and just about everyone else other than the kid working the drive-thru at fast food place. Everyone I asked was certain that Hawkins set the record that night, but nobody knew who held the previous record or what is was.
I've been around the area long enough to see Cameron Domangue rush for something like 1,700 yards as a senior at Baker in 2008, but I don't know if that's the school record.
If Thomas can avoid the injury bug, continue on his torrid pace and the Gators make the playoffs, he could easily surpass the 2,000-yard mark this season.
It will be fun to see how the season plays out for Thomas and the Gators � and what records he might set along the way.

Motards Wrap Up Classic Weekend
With the largest field of riders in nearly a decade, the 91st annual Loudon Classic motorcycle weekend came to a close on Sunday. More than 60 races were run over the three days at the Magic Mile, including the running of the annual Loudon Classic Middleweight Grand Prix feature event on Saturday, won by Scott Greenwood.
Another plethora races were run on Sunday, highlighted by the 10-lap Motard Cup final.
Trevor Chiappisi of (Deerfield, N.H.) rode from the midway point of Lap 1 all the way to Victory Lane, weaving through the field after starting from the rear and eventually taking the checkers at the Granite Stripe.
"It's actually been a really eventful weekend," said Chiappisi. "From going through two bikes, to not qualifying, to starting from the rear, I went out and put my head down and made it happen."
Matthew Gendron (Durham, Maine) came in second, saying: "I started in the back of the pack because I stalled it on the start and just worked my way through the whole pack. I think I was probably like 10th place on the first lap and just kept picking away and couldn't quite catch up to Trevor."
In third place was Jason Cavanaugh. The native of Hampton, Conn., rode in second for half the race, but couldn't hold off Gendron.
"The race was great; I was definitely in second for about six laps and felt a little tired but I pushed as hard as I could and gave it everything I had," said Cavanaugh. "I'll take third place today."
William Rowe of Brimfield, Mass., picked up the win in the Amateur Motard final.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Freshman Mari Kordell (Ijamsville, Md.) became the third player in the history of the MIT women's basketball program to be voted Rookie of the Year by the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC). In addition, she collected second team all-conference accolades while the Engineers received the Sportsmanship Award for the fifth time in six years.
Kordell ranked in the top 15 in the NEWMAC in six major categories (points per game, three-point field goal percentage, free throw percentage, assists, steals, and minutes played), which is more than any other rookie in the league. She paced the team in points (10.7), assists (2.3), steals (1.8), three-point field goal percentage (.317), free throw percentage (.795), and minutes played (32.5). Kordell was MIT's leading scorer in 11 of its 24 games and had 20-point efforts against Simmons College and Mount Holyoke College.
Kordell also turned in some memorable performances in victories over Albany College, WPI, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Simmons, Wheaton College, and Springfield College. On November 20 versus Albany, she was sent to the charity stripe on three straight possessions where she hit five consecutive free throws that thwarted a late rally by the Panthers and propelled MIT to a 65-49 win. Against WPI on December 3, Kordell buried a jumper with 10 seconds remaining in regulation to give the Engineers a two-point edge that would lead to a 61-57 decision. Three days later in an overtime battle at Coast Guard, she connected on a three-pointer just 48 seconds into the extra session and later nailed a jumper with 47 seconds left to play, giving MIT a four-point cushion that would turn into a 73-67 victory.
The late-game heroics continued on December 30 versus Simmons as Kordell went 3-of-4 from the free throw line during the final 16.4 seconds, including two successful attempts with two seconds on the clock, securing the Engineers' 69-65 come-from-behind win. A few weeks later against Wheaton, she knocked down a trey right after coming off the bench to give MIT a four-point margin with three minutes left to play. The Engineers fought off the Lyons down the stretch as two Kordell free throws with 10 seconds to go sealed the 45-41 victory. On February 11 at Springfield, MIT found itself trailing, 49-45, with 21 seconds left to play. Kordell sank a layup six seconds later and after a free throw by the Pride, she drove the length of the court for another lay-in with eight ticks left. The Engineers stole the in-bounds pass and then drained two free throws with no time remaining to capture the 51-50 win.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior Ben Lewis (West Hartford, Conn.) was named to the NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division III Men's All-America First Team as announced by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Lewis is only the second MIT men's soccer player to ever receive such an honor, the last of which being Nick Nestle in 2003.
"Ben did everything in his power to help our team have the successful year it did this year," said head coach Mike Singleton. "He was asked to play multiple roles and did so wonderfully with a competitive fire and dedication unmatched. He is truly deserving of this honor and we are all extremely proud of him."
Lewis played and started 19 games this season, scoring three goals and one assist. He was voted as the NEWMAC Tournament Most Outstanding Player after his impressive performance at the championship game against Springfield (11/04). He was also named NEWMAC first team All-Conference, collecting his fourth league award and third straight first team honor.
The Engineers, who started this year's NEWMAC championship in the fifth and final spot, won their first conference title in program history after defeating Springfield, 2-0, and received an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

While at Otterbein, Williams served as an Orientation Leader, was active in the University Gospel Choir and Concert Choir, and was a leader with the African American Student Union. His interest in student affairs began as a student worker in the Office of Ethnic Diversity at Otterbein, where he worked with the Diversity Educators Scholars Involved in Reaching and Educating (D.E.S.I.R.E) and Visions of You programs.
This interest led him to become a member of the Minority/National Undergraduate Fellowship Program in the National Association of Student Personnel and Administrators and to participate in the Summer Leadership Institute (now Gwen Dungy Institute) at Texas A&M University. He also completed a summer internship at Stonybrook University.
Following his degree at Old Dominion University, Williams worked as a residence director for the Sophomore Year Experience at The College of New Jersey.

Micaela Coleman '10 began the journey down her career path while majoring in international studies and economics at Otterbein. Her first internship, with the Ohio House of Representatives, was the first of many steps that led to her most recent position as assistant manager of communications and investor educator for the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) and Ms. Virginia USA Ambassador 2016.
As a student, Coleman was a summer intern and page in the Ohio House of Representatives and a summer intern in the office of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy. After graduating, she worked as a senior legislative aide for Representative Tracy Maxwell in the Ohio House of Representatives and a campaign assistant for the re-election of Columbus, Ohio, Mayor Michael Coleman.

She has been to the White House for meetings and briefings and traveled to Silicon Valley to visit with leaders in the start-up and tech industry.
In 2015, she moved to her new role at NASAA.
"Working at NASAA to me means empowering investors to invest smartly, supporting the great work of our national securities regulators, and engaging with investor education professionals, stakeholders and advocates through social media and outreach efforts. I hope to empower and educate regular 'mom and pop' investors on the importance of being financially savvy, on how to approach investing for first-time investors and the steps needed in order to raise capital for a business," said Coleman.
As Coleman moved along in her career, she also took two courses at American University: the WeLead Women and Leadership Program and the Global Business Graduate Gateway Program.

Most recently, she was selected as Ms. Virginia USA Ambassador 2016. In this role with the USA Ambassador Pageant Program, she promotes the motto of, "Success through Leadership, Integrity, Character and Confidence in today's young women," while giving back to her community through public service and charity work.

He earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from Otterbein University in 1994, and his master's degree in business administration from Ashland University.
After college, Eddie continued to be involved with I KNOW I CAN as a member of its board of directors, and ultimately the executive director.

After graduating from Otterbein in 2002 with a sociology degree, Rayshawn went on to earn two additional master's degrees and two counseling licenses. He has worked with the Franklin Country Work Release Program, Upward Bound Program, Juvenile Probation Officer for Franklin Country Court of Common Pleas, Clinical Trainee for Columbus Area Community mental Health, Program Manager for Alvis House, and currently is a social worker for the Ohio Department of Youth Services.
He is an experienced administrator, educator, workshop facilitator, State of Ohio professional counselor and chemical dependency counselor assistant.

Rayshawn interacts with Otterbein's African American Student Union, the Offices of Student Affairs and Greek Life, and is a key role player in developing the Alumni Network.
Rayshawn's nominator wrote, "Life for this man has been no crystal staircase but you will never hear him complain. He just keeps going like strong men do. He places a great deal of importance in family and making sure that he provides a future for his family that they can be proud of and comfortable in."
Dr. Andrea M. Brown '99 served as the AASU president in 1997‐98 and was recently honored with a Smithsonian Faculty Fellowship in 2009. This individual's vita is 7 pages long full of her teaching experiences, supervised clinical experiences, additional work experiences along with presentations, publications, professional development, university and community service, honors and professional affiliations. This is a brief summary of Dr. Brown's notable achievements.
After graduating from Otterbein in 1998 with a psychology degree, Andrea set her goal on following in the footsteps of an influential faculty advisor and mentor. She went to Arizona State University to obtain her counselor education degree in 2003 and then continued there for her PhD in Counseling Psychology, 2006. Throughout this time, she identifies there were many individuals who lifted her up when she doubted herself and her life purpose. One particular publication on "women and spirituality" which she authored challenged her own faith and spirituality. She was able to redefine her purpose as a professor, mentor to her students and as a faith‐filled individual.
Her current teaching focus as an Associate Faculty member at Johns Hopkins University is to graduate students in 2 areas:"Cross Cultural Counseling: Issues and Interventions" and "Human Development and Counseling" and a Freelance Consultant for Cengage Higher Education developing instructor resources for various psychology text books and interactive teaching. Prior to this she was an Assistant Professor at Montgomery College, served at Loyola College Counseling Center as a Staff Psychologist and Outreach Coordinator, and a proud student mentor at the Otterbein College Indianola Middle School Project.
Though living away from Otterbein has limited Andrea's connections, she was the 2009 homecoming speaker for our annual dinner. She has stayed very active as a volunteer at her various institutions working in a Women's Resource Center. What impressed me was that at the top of her Community Service list was serving as a Faulty mentor to a Student Excellence Expo. It seems that the impact she received as a student while at Otterbein is impacting the lives of those she touches today.
Mr. Livisay has almost thirty years of human service experience primarily with children and families, the criminal justice system and the alcohol, tobacco and other drug use prevention field. He co‐authored a publication in neighborhood organization that was recognized by the Center of Substance Abuse Prevention as a best practice. His work has taken him nationally and internationally as a participant in exchanges with criminal justice, education and chemical dependency professionals.
Mr. Livisay is currently employed with the Columbus Public Health as the Program manager for Prevention Services. As an experience administrator his expertise includes the following area:
He is an active community leader serving on the boards of the Greater Linden Development Corporation as the Chair, treasurer of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Association of Ohio and Chair of the Advisory Committee of the Franklin County Safe and Drug Free Schools Consortium.
He is a proud alumnus of Otterbein; he is a graduate member of The Ohio State University, John Glenn School of Public Affairs, L2000+ leadership Program.
In addition to all that he has done professional and in regard to community service, Mr. Livisay is an active supporter of the Office of Diversity at Otterbein. His nominator wrote "He has never hesitated to serve on a panel, talk with students. Most recently, he served as the 2009 keynote speaker for "An Introduction to Kwanzaa."
His commitment to Otterbein is well spoken through his two daughters, Maggie, a graduate of the Class of 2008 and Kathryn, a current junior.
At a young age, her professors at Otterbein University recognized Sarabella Baker as an energetic and creative leader with a caring heart for her community. During her time at Otterbein, she was a leader among African American students while majoring in mathematics and business administration.
Today, Sarabella is a Contract Strategy Analysis at Discover Financial Services in Columbus and the CEO and founder of a luxury transportation and concierge service, Sara Express, located in downtown Columbus. Last year she received a MBA at Ashland University, where she focused on entrepreneurship and investment property management. In the past couple of years, Sara Express has grown to a fleet of three luxury vehicles, hired employees, and opened a branch in the car rental business. This up-and-coming entrepreneur has expanded her professional network of clients and colleagues with similar aspirations of success.
Her years at Otterbein taught her that community service is more important than making a profit. She separates herself from competitors by offering rentals and relocation services.
The idea to start her own company rose from fear of losing her job in 2009. Instead of shrinking in defeat, Sarabella rose to the challenge by starting up a new business. To Sarabella, reinventing herself and developing her character was the most rewarding aspect of her professional journey. "It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to run a business and reinvent yourself," says Sarabella. "Sometimes you may second guess yourself, but at the end of the day you are the one who has to strike the right balance."
A true inspiration, Sarabella demonstrates that showing initiative can yield success. In recognition of her professional accomplishments and service contributions, we honor Sarabella with the 2011 Otterbein African American Hall of Fame Award.

At Otterbein Jason majored in sociology and computer science. He was the first African American homecoming king and a recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. Award for his dedication to service at Otterbein.
In the first two years, Jason matched nearly 300 mentors with mentees exceeding Project Mentor's expectations. He was then promoted from School-Based Coordinator to the position of Recruitment and Community Engagement Manager. Within a few short months, Jason established ten new agency commitments with various community organizations and works to coordinate male mentors for youth.
"At a time when African American drop out rates are the highest they have ever been, he is now leading a program designed to address this issue and is making a valuable impact in the city of Columbus," said Jason's mentor at the Otterbein Indianola Mentoring Program, Melissa Dawn Johnson.
He is a highly engaged and active leader, involved with several organizations such as African Advisory Council for Big Brothers/Big Sisters, The Expanding Visions Foundation, and The Youth Prevention Advisory Board.
"I am doing what I love so it's not work for me," says Jason. Aside from his family and career, Jason volunteers his personal time to provide guidance to an 11 year-old boy each month.
"The true testimony of his story is that Jason graduated from a public school and received a scholarship to Otterbein University. He now runs the Indianola Middle School program he once participated in," says Johnson.
In recognition of Jason's commitment in building up young leaders within his community, we honor Jason T. Jenkins with the 2011 Otterbein African American Hall of Fame Award.

A Casa das Caldeiras é conhecida hoje como um espaço inusitado e diferenciado para eventos. Liderando uma tendência de recuperação dos monumentos e edificações históricas, que tem ganhado recentemente força na cidade de São Paulo, a Casa das Caldeiras manteve o nome pelo qual era conhecida na época em que servia às Antigas Indústrias Reunidas Francisco Matarazzo.
Construída para observar impassivelmente o passar dos anos, a construção recebeu cuidados técnicos e preciosismo que representaram a filosofia de um idealista. Exemplar típico da arquitetura fabril de caráter utilitário, recebeu grandes janelas, pé-direito altíssimo, três chaminés monumentais que parecem ganhar os céus, túneis-galerias que remetem a passagens subterrâneas, fornalhas que eram alimentadas por carvão.
Em 1986, acreditando na importância histórica das edificações remanescentes das Indústrias Matarazzo, o CONDEPHAAT e IPHAN, órgãos de proteção dos patrimônios históricos, arquitetônicos e artísticos nacionais, tombaram a Casa das Caldeiras e a Casa do Eletricista.
A partir da compra do terreno, pela empresa Ricci e Associados, em 1992, iniciou-se o planejamento de revitalização de todo o terreno e o estudo de viabilidade. O projeto de desenvolvimento urbano do terreno contou com a intervenção da Operação Urbana conseguindo agregar uma série de melhorias e valores para a área, concretizando o projeto de reciclagem.
Overview and HistorySao Paulo is the biggest city both in Brazil and the southern hemisphere, even bigger than Rio. It's mega-sprawling like Los Angeles. By some estimates Sao Paulo has 27 million people, surpassed only by Tokyo. If Godzilla would only win for once, Sao Paulo might become THE biggest city. Whoa!Sao Paulo is the financial center of South America, and in turn its center is the stock exchange downtown on Paulista Avenue. Here's the 1892 viaduct linking the old downtown with what later became the new downtown.Sao Paulo was founded by Jesuit missionaries in 1554. The economy here began with coffee exports from plantations worked first by slaves and then by European immigrants. The Mansion of Rosas, from 1930, is one of the last big ones built during the wealthy coffee period.Brazil is part of the "Mercosul" business community,which is the Common Market of the South. This is a trade zone roughly equivalent in purpose to the EU, African Union, Asia-Paficic Economic Cooperation, or the Security and Prosperity Partnership in North America.It snowed once, in 1918.The city government of Sao Paulo is located inside the Palace of the Bandeirantes. The Palace is named after the legendary Bandits who fought deep into the middle of South America, to expand the territory of Brazil in the eighteenth century. Here's a look at the interior, too.With all this commerce and activity flying around, it's natural that Sao Paulo is a huge center for business tourism. The city has the capacity to host hundreds of conventions PER DAY at any of the hotels, conference centers, sports arenas, etc. Here's an auto exhibition in the Anhembi Park Pavillion.But there is still a lot of history to explore here, even in the middle of the high-tech world around you. Anchieta Museum was originally a school for teaching religious subjects to native Brazillians, built 1554.The University of Sao Paulo's College of Law was founded in 1827 and is the oldest law school in Brazil. Twelve Brazillian presidents and countless other administrators have attended.Getting ThereSao Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport is a small city all by itself. It's got 53,000 employees and the only bigger cargo hub nearby is in Mexico City, man!Travel to the airport by bus takes about 45 minutes, you can rent a car there or park in the long term parking lots, as usual for any large airport city with 53,000 employees.Traffic can get gnarly so allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport when it's time to leave. Remember, 53,000 people can make a decent little rush hour all by themselves.TransportationFirst, some scenery with style: here's the Julio Prestes railway station now converted into a concert hall. The Station of Light or Estacao de Luz connecting with the metro system and also housing the Museum of the Portugese language. The Boiler House, a recovered industrial space now used for cultural events.There is a metro system here but it is not as comprehensive as in a place like Tokyo. Buses are the main way to get around, along with street taxis and radio-dispatch taxis. The latter are more reliable if you're not fluent in Portugese yet.People and CultureOverall, Sao Paulo is the most ethnically diverse city in Brazil, and it has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan (Liberdade neighborhood).And what do these diverse people do to celebrate? They have Carnaval!Brazil has the best Carnavale in the world. There's no way in hell we can come anywhere close to describing it, not even with panoramas and thousands of words plane tickets caiparinhas and a jar of tiger sweat. Preparations alone go on for weeks.It happens for 4 days before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent, when people must give up the pleasures of the flesh.There are lots of other major events happening here throughout the course of the year.The annual Sao Paulo gay parade attracts upwards of 1.5 million people, and it's not just a little afternoon thing. The events surrounding the parade take up an entire month with street fairs, film festivals and crazy parties. This is the world's largest LGBT event! WORLD's LARGEST!Sao Paulo fashion week attracts designers from all over the globe, and the Festival of Electronic Art invites digital media-makers to assemble en masse and tweak parameters together.Sports fans pay attention! The Brazillian F1 Grand Prix is on a level with the Tour de France or the Kentucky Derby in world sporting. Drivers don't love the bumpy streets but fans come out in droves to watch, and 99% of them survive.Things to do & RecommendationsWell, you've got twelve thousand restaurants, seventy museums, two hundred cinemas, and fifty theaters to choose from.The Municipal Theater has the distinction of being the place where Hamlet was first performed, bringing Shakespeare to Sao Paulo as of 1911.Shopping? Check out Oscar Friere street for Godiva, Versace, Armani and all of Louis Vuitton's other friends.After you get thirsty from carrying all those bags, dip into Campos do Jordao for a cold beer. They brew their own.A few gallery pointers -- State Art Gallery with modern exhibits from the 19th century until now, MASP Museum of Art Sao Paulo, Tomie Ohtake Institute for gooey plastic hyper-modern stuff.For Nature and wildlife... well I guess the rainforest pretty much wins in this category, but on your way into the jungle you can poke your head into the Sao Paulo Aquarium.Right within the city there's some nice green space in Ibirapuera Park. Two square kilometers and it's still only the second biggest park in the city! Get ready for this list of what it contains: a planetarium, Astrophysics School, Villa de Osos Bacalao (a building shaped like a horse!!), five convention-center pavillions, Air Force Museum, Agricultural Palace, Gymnasium, running tracks, Obelisk and fourteen million blades of grass.Cool local favorite pub: "Jazz in the Deep Ones" where you can find live music and no liquor laws.Lastly, how many times do I have to tell you? Go up to the top of the tallest thing you can find and look around. It'll be worth more than anything you can buy.Text by Steve Smith.

Federico Lombardi, S.J., director of the Vatican Press Office, criticized as "partisan...partial and banal" an Italian television news program that on Jan. 25 broadcast portions of letters addressed to Pope Benedict and Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state. The letters were apparently signed by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, right, and written when he was the secretary general of the commission that governs Vatican City. One of the letters, dated April 4, 2011, said that when Archbishop Viganò took office almost two years earlier, he discovered "chaotic management" and overspending. The letter complained of a "media campaign" by opponents of his efforts at reform and implored the pope not to remove him from his job "even for promotion." The pope named Archbishop Viganò nuncio to the United States in October 2011. Under his leadership a Vatican City budget deficit of nearly $9.8 million in 2009 turned into a surplus of $28 million in 2010.
