With the blessings of the Dalai Lama, a group of American Buddhist women have launched a campaign to expose the alleged sexual misconduct of a prominent Tibetan lama and best-selling author.
Sogyal Rinpoche, author of the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, is accused of "physical, mental and sexual abuse" in a $10 million civil suit filed last week in Santa Cruz County Superior Court.
According to the lawsuit, an anonymous woman identified only as "Janice Doe" came to Rinpoche for spiritual guidance last year at a retreat sponsored by the Rigpa Fellowship meditation center in Santa Cruz, but was "coerced into an intimate relationship" with the Tibetan guru.
"Sogyal claimed (she) would be strengthened and healed by having sex with him and that to be hit by a lama was a blessing," the lawsuit states.
The suit -- which accuses Rinpoche of fraud, assault and battery, infliction of emotional distress and breach of fiduciary duty -- also charges that the Tibetan lama has "seduced many other female students for his own sexual gratification."
Sandra Pawula, spokeswoman for the Rigpa Fellowship of Santa Cruz, one of many meditation centers in the United States, Europe and Australia, declined to comment about the allegations, but said that Rinpoche is not married and does not claim to be a celibate monk. Rinpoche, who lives abroad, could not be reached for comment. The lawsuit follows a letter-writing campaign to the Dalai Lama by American women concerned about alleged sexual exploitation by Rinpoche and several lesser-known Tibetan lamas.
"What some of these students have experienced is terrible and most unfortunate," said Tenzin Geyche Tethong, the Dharamsala-based secretary to the Dalai Lama.
In a letter sent earlier this year to one of the women, Tethong said Tibetan Buddhist leaders "have been aware of these (allegations) for some years now."
Jack Kornfield, founder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Marin County, was among a group of two dozen Western teachers who discussed the sexual misconduct of Buddhist teachers with the Dalai Lama last year in India.
According to Kornfield, the Tibetan Buddhist leader told the Americans to "always let people know when things are wrong. Put it in the newspapers if you must do so."
Another woman allegedly abused by Rinpoche, Victoria Barlow of New York City, said she is "disgusted by the way the Tibetans have manipulated the reverence Westerners have for the Buddhist path."
Barlow, 40, said she first met Rinpoche in the mid-1970s, when she was 21, and that she was sexually exploited by him during meditation retreats in New York and Berkeley.
"I went to an apartment to see a highly esteemed lama and discuss religion," she said in an interview with the Free Press. "He opened the door without a shirt on and with a beer in his hand."
once they were on the sofa, Barlow said, the Tibetan "lunged at me with sloppy kisses and groping."
"I thought I should take it as the deepest compliment that he was interested and basically surrender to him," she said.
Sources say the Tibetan Buddhists were trying to handle this issue within their community but decided, especially after the Dalai Lama made the comment about going to the press, to go public now.
"The Dalai Lama has known about this for years and done nothing. There is a real code of secrecy and silence," said Barlow.
The details of this article are verified in other articles that can be found on the web.
My inclination is to stop posting anything by Rinpoche on this site. As much as I think there is incredible value in his teachings, I need to respect the man as well. I dont expect all teachers to be perfect, and Chogyam Trungpa is a perfect example of a flawed man who was still a valuable teacher.
So, Im torn and I want to throw the question out for discussion. How much can we separate the human being from the teachings? And how appropriate is it that we do that? Any thoughts?

St. Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastery is a monastic community for men in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. It is located in Florence, Arizona, and is the residence of Elder Ephraim.
The community was founded in 1995 by six monks along with Elder Ephraim, former abbot of Philotheou on Mt Athos, under the auspices of His Eminence Metropolitan Anthony of San Francisco (of blessed memory). In time it has grown to approximately 35 monks, and has continued to grow, providing the training grounds for the monks of other Greek Orthodox monasteries in America.
The community consists of men living the monastic tradition of a Christ-centered prayer life for the monastic members. It breaks with its Athonite heritage on one particular point: both men and women are equally encouraged and welcome to visit as pilgrims. It is not uncommon to see men, women, and children attending Liturgy with the monks.

More than a million married couples across the UK are eligible to reduce their tax bill with the marriage allowance, according to HMRC.
The marriage allowance allows spouses, and couples in civil partnerships, to transfer £1,190 of their personal allowance to their partner, providing a tax break of up to £238 a year.
It can be claimed by couples where one partner pays the basic rate of income tax and the other is a non-taxpayer.
It can also be backdated to include any year since April 2015, to provide a total saving of up to £900.
Around 3 million couples have already claimed the relief, including more than 300,000 since March 2018.
HMRC has urged the remaining 1 million eligible couples to apply online.
Mel Stride, financial secretary to the Treasury, said:
"It's great news that so many couples are now benefitting from marriage allowance.
"This is a really important tax relief and reflects the social importance of marriages and civil partnerships.
"And I'd urge those that haven't yet managed to claim the money to do so right away - it's quick and easy to apply."
We can help with your personal financial planning.

Say what you want about Russell Crowe but the guy has never made a bad movie, that's a fact. So I guess don't say what you want. You can say anything other than he's a bad actor. So the news that he's possibly in the running for the lead role in the upcoming "Robocop" reboot is nothing but good. Especially after yesterday's news that the guy who wrote "Gran Torino" is penning the script. An elder racist gladiator who turns into a robot? This is going to be the greatest movie ever.
If you see one "stranded in Moscow because of a weird alien invasion flick that came out last year on blu-ray or DVD" this year then I suggest you make it "The Darkest Hour" which has officially been confirmed to be hitting selves on April 20th. That was a long sentence huh? You fancy pants fat cats can even get it in 3D with special features that include... well I don't know. The movie is on there though I'm sure. It would have to be, wouldn't it?
"The Devil Inside" mastermind William Brent Bell has officially thrust the name of his next film upon the world. The film will be called "Wer" and will be a found footage flick about a man being held at a police station who turns into a werewolf. Shooting will begin on the project in April and if I was a betting man I'd say it'll be wrapped just in time for Mid-April.
Kevin Bacon has been confirmed for the lead role in the upcoming Kevin Williamson TV series which revolves around a serial killer who makes his own cult of murderers. No word on the title of the series but Bacon will be playing the role of the FBI agent trying to stop the evil doer. This has got me really excited about a whole new batch of clever Bacon puns that I can start using. None of which I can think of but I'm sure they'll be great.
Good news for all of you patiently awaiting the first trailer for "Resident Evil: Retribution". January 18th will be the day that the trailer will hit the tubes, it'll then be showing in theaters that weekend before "Underworld: Awakening". The other good news for all of you who are excited about "Resident Evil: Retribution" is that men's Husky pants are on sale this weekend at Sears.
I'm not going to lie, I'm fairly excited for the release of "The Woman In Black". It looks creepy, that Harry Potter kid looks adorable trying to act all grown up and I'm a sucker for old timey fashions. What can I say. And here's a new poster for the film which hits theaters on February 3th. It has two of the three things I mentioned I love about the film. Oh what I wouldn't give for little Harry Potter to be in the poster smoking a pipe. But instead of smoke coming out of the pipe there's bubbles. How cute would that be!?
Remember how creepy little Isabelle Fuhrman was in "Orphan"? All fake teeth and crap. Well it looks like the little one is now in talks to join the cast of M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming Sifi flick "After Earth". The film tells the story of a world where people no longer live on earth and two hero's who find themselves stranded on the blue orb. Will and Jaden Smith are also a part of the cast. If there was any way I could pinch this movies cheeks I think I would.
It looks like "The Devil Inside" director William Brent Bell and co-writer Matthew Peterman are off to Romania to film a new as of yet titled horror flick. It's going to be a found footage film.... and it's going to be called "The Devil Insider"... and it's going to suck. Alright those last two things are lies. Well the second to last. I can't comment on the whole sucking thing. I'm not god.

These lamps from designers Emi Fujita and Shane Kohatsu are shaped like sunflowers, sort of, and collect solar power so they can light up your garden at night. The best part about these outdoor lights is that they don't have to be outdoors. You can attach these to the wall, as shown above, and they'll still do a good job collecting solar energy in order to be used at night.
Check out the gallery for more shots of these pretty lamps.

More cowbell!
Third Tour of Missouri puts state in cycling spotlight
Jim McCarty
Jim McCarty
Jim McCarty
The start of last year's Stage 6 took riders past Hermann's historic buildings enroute to a finish in St. Charles. More than 435,000 spectators turned out for the event in 2008, making this one of the largest tourism events the state has ever witnessed.
Like a fine wine, the Tour of Missouri professional cycling race has come of age.
"We've only been running three years, but it's grown in stature," says Jim Birrell, race director for the event. "These pro teams were coming to us wanting to take part. They know the hospitality Missouri extends. It's been overwhelming and they really appreciate it."
When the race kicks off Sept. 7, cycling fans from around the world will focus their attention on Missouri, while those close enough to watch the Tour of Missouri firsthand will ring the traditional cowbells as they cheer on their favorites. The event is now the No. 2 U.S. race and will feature many of the riders who competed in the Tour de France.
Riders will battle for seven days, traveling a total of 612 miles along a route that includes many of the state's top tourism destinations, small towns and rural roads. New this year is an east to west route and several new host cities.
Birrell says start and finish cities are great places to see the riders, but other opportunities exist along the route. He recommends logging on to the tour Web site, where route information, including anticipated arrival times, will be posted.
"Start lines are a great place for new viewers to the sport," he says. "It's kind of like pit row at a NASCAR event. Also any point along the route that has elevation, that will slow them down."
He says this year's course was designed so spectators can see the start, catch riders along the route and still beat them back to the finish.
Here's a stage-by-stage look at what to expect during the 2009 tour.
Three international riders fight for second place during the finish of Stage 4 of the 2008 Tour of Missouri in Rolla. From left are Danilo Wyss, Switzerland, Team BMC; Roman Kreuziger, Czech Republic, Team Liquigas; and Eric Baumann, Germany, Team Sparkesse. This year's race will feature many of the world's best cyclists including many of the leaders from the Tour de France.
Stage 1: Sept. 7
St. Louis circuit race
Start time: 2:30 p.m.
Tour fans can stake out their favorite St. Louis neighborhood and see the riders 10 times as they complete a fast and flat 75-mile circuit race that will favor sprinters. The race begins and ends downtown within sight of the Arch, Union Station, Busch Stadium and the Old Courthouse. The route goes south into the Soulard Market area past the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, then returns through Lafayette Park.
Local musical talent will be on stage during the race, and organizers have a variety of group rides planned for the holiday weekend leading up to the Labor Day start.
In a city known for its large bicycling contingent, St. Louis has several other races planned for the weekend, including the Gateway Cup criterium and the Tour of Missouri Women's Series. Recreational rides that follow the tour route and children's races round out the activities.
Stage 2: Sept. 8
Ste. Genevieve to Cape Girardeau
Start time: 11 a.m.
Missouri's oldest city plays host to the Stage 2 start, with the peloton passing French Colonial structures dating back to the 1700s before leaving on a hilly course enroute to a finish in Cape Girardeau. Due to the proximity of Interstate 55, visitors will have ample time to hit the quaint shops and historic sites and still catch the riders at other locations, which will include a sprint zone in Perryville. When the riders complete the 112.4 miles, they will face a technical finish on Cape's riverfront.
The 2008 tour offered shopping opportunities for fans and participants alike.
This stage features rolling hills and several King of the Mountain challenges, with riders earning points for their hill climbing stamina. The area also offers a multitude of wineries on the "Route de Vin."
Ste. Genevieve organizers have a number of recreational rides planned to get fans in the spirit.
Stage 3: Sept. 9
Farmington to Rolla
Start time: 11 a.m.
As the peloton heads out of the Mineral Area's largest city, the eventual winner could be determined. This challenging 114.3-mile stage will feature 6,000 total feet of climbing through the rugged St. Francois and Ozark mountains.
Along with lonely stretches of two-lane, the route will pass through the scenic Arcadia Valley, Bixby, Viburnum, Cherryville and Cook Station before reaching the finish line near the campus of Missouri University of Science and Technology.
While waiting for the riders, spectators can take in Farmington's mansions, the Missouri Mines State Historic Site, Civil War-era Fort Davison, Missouri's highest point at Taum Sauk Mountain and Dillard Mill, in addition to Rolla's portion of Route 66.
Stage 4: Sept. 10
St. James to Jefferson City
Start time: 2 p.m.
With both host cities having experience with the race, tour-related activities abound on Stage 4. Last year's Spirit Award winner St. James pulled out all the stops for 2009, setting the date for its Grape and Fall Festival to coincide with the tour. Music, a grape stomp, spaghetti supper and a children's "Ride the Route" round out activities.
The later start lets Missouri's capital capitalize on a finish held just after quitting time for the many downtown state office workers. Jefferson City events start almost a week before the stage takes place, with a ride of the tour route, followed by a chili cookoff, celebrity races, stunt bike exhibition, kids activities and live music.
Inaugural tour winner George Hincapie signs autographs prior to the start in St. Joseph. Hincapie is expected back in 2009 despite an injury during the Tour de France.
This course will be no slouch in terms of hills. As the race leaves St. James, the route takes riders into the Gasconade River Valley and along roller coaster terrain. Riders complete the race with an exciting 900-foot uphill sprint, known as the Capitol Wall.
Stage 5: Sept. 11
Sedalia time trial
Start time: 2 p.m.
Sedalia replaces Branson as this year's location for the time trial, which will see riders switch to exotic aerodynamic bikes for an all-out effort for the fastest time around a loop. Racers should love the flat and wide open course compared to the lung-busting climbs at last year's event. Spectators can bring their own bikes and ride the Katy Trail, which will offer three viewing points of the rides.
This stage, sponsored by Missouri's electric cooperatives, begins at the State Fairgrounds and then moves into the countryside along state Highway B with the finish also on the fairgrounds. The route is 19 miles long.
Look for many vendors in this town that knows how to entertain visitors.
Stage 6: Sept. 12
Chillicothe to St. Joseph
Start time: 1 p.m.
While St. Joe has experience as the host for last year's tour start, Chillicothe worked harder than any other city to bring the tour to its north Missouri location. The town, known as the birthplace of sliced bread, rolls out the red carpet for guests starting with a weekend Chautauqua arts festival that begins when the tour leaves.
The 110.3-mile route to St. Joseph is considered deceptively hard. While the terrain is flatter than the Ozarks, the relentless wind and rolling terrain will wear down the riders. One excellent viewing area will be at King City, where the wind turbines at Bluegrass Ridge Wind Energy Farm form an exciting backdrop to the race.
Tour fans watch racers during the 2008 time trial in Branson. This year's time trial moves to Sedalia and will again be sponsored by Missouri's electric cooperatives.
The finish at St. Joe's city hall will offer many attractions staged at the nearby park, in addition to the Pony Express Museum, the city's most famous attraction.
Stage 7: Sept. 13
Kansas City circuit race
Start time: 2 p.m.
Race fans will again have an opportunity to see their favorite riders in action multiple times as the second circuit race in the tour takes place. The route was designed around the city's many monuments. It begins in the new restaurant and night club area called the Power and Light District and finishes at the landmark Crown Center.
Riders will be challenged by the steep hills and tight corners that could lead to carnage in a close race.
In past years, Kansas City spectators turned out early to claim the best viewing areas, so plan accordingly. Post-race festivities, with the crowning of the Tour of Missouri champion, are a big part of this stage.

UPDATE: Serge Haroche, Collège de France and Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France and David J. Wineland, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado Boulder, CO, USA "for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems".
The Physics Nobel Prize was just announced this morning, Tuesday 9th October (at about 10:45 UK time). The announcement will be made by Staffan Normark, Permanent Secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Is it too soon for Peter Higgs et al, re this year's results from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN? Of course, the Nobel committee will have had nominations much earlier in the year than results emerged from LHC, but one never knows…they could easily accommodate it if they wanted to. Not sure whether Higgs would be the first Geordie Nobel Laureate…fairly sure that Marie Curie and Erwin Schrodinger were not.

A French surfer on his honeymoon was fatally attacked by a shark Wednesday at Reunion Island, while his wife was nearby on the beach.
The attack occurred at Brisants de Saint-Gilles, a popular surf spot on the west shore of the French-owned island. This marks the first fatal shark attack of the year on Reunion Island, but the third during the past two years.
Lifeguards pulled the 36-year-old surfer to shore after he was charged at least twice by the shark, but he had lost lots of blood and had gone into cardiac and respiratory arrest. He could not be revived.
Agence France-Presse is reporting that the unidentified surfer was bitten on the arm and thigh, and that his wife was being treated for shock.
Last summer two shark attacks, one of them resulting in a fatality, occurred just days apart at Reunion Island, which is located in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar.
Sky News reports that after those attacks, surfers called for the closure of a vast marine reserve, which they blamed for an increase in shark encounters. Surfers were critical of the local government for not doing enough to protect swimmers and surfers.
Several studies are underway involving sharks in the area.
The honeymooning couple is from Morteau in eastern France. The species of shark implicated in Wednesday's attack is not known.

John Harington (writer)
English courtier and author
(Redirected from John Harrington)
Sir John Harington (or Harrington) (August 4, 1561 – November 20, 1612) was a courtier, author, and scientist. He became a prominent member of Queen Elizabeth I's court, and was known as her 'saucy Godson'. But because of his poetry and other writings, he fell in and ultimately out of favor with the Queen, as well as with her successor, King James I of England. He has been credited with the invention of an early flush toilet. The flush toilet is described in his famous work The Metamorphosis of Ajax which had enjoyed considerable popularity on its publication in 1596.

More than a century after Arthur Conan Doyle published the first Sherlock Holmes novel in 1887, the detective lives on with a film franchise starring Robert Downey Jr., a PBS series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and now Elementary, CBS' modern retelling of the crime-solving legend.
Comic-Con: Can CBS' Elementary and BBC's Sherlock co-exist?
Elementary presents a Sherlock (Eli Stone's Jonny Lee Miller) who is a recovering addict and consultant for the NYPD. His distaff Watson (Lucy Liu) is a former surgeon who becomes Sherlock's "sober companion."
Miller loves the work that Cumberbatch is doing on the PBS series, calling himself a "groupie" of his work. "We had a discussion about this project," Miller noted. "Benedict has been really supportive and I wanted to assure him how different this project was."
Despite the modern flourishes, executive producer Rob Doherty promises that the new show will capture the spirit of Doyle's hero. "I wanted to make sure that I had my own take on it," Doherty told reporters at CBS' Television Critics Association fall TV previews on Sunday, but also noted that Holmes' drug use and fumbling romances (key elements of the source material) will also figure in his version of the series.
Even Sherlock's greatest foe, Moriarty, will find a place in the series. "I feel it's important to be true to the spirit of the character," Doherty said of the eventual introduction of the character. "In so many of the books he was such a shadowy figure. He was described as the spider at the center of the web of crime in London. Quite often you're dealing with his agents because he has a finger in every pie. He's the man behind the man behind the man. We may be able to make some use of that. In other words, there are a few dominoes we may knock over before we get to him."
"Our Sherlock is a puzzle-solver," he continued. "I really think that's his obsession. To a point, you might call it an addiction. In many senses he has an additive personality. The original Sherlock dabbled with cocaine and opiates. Our Sherlock had those same problems... but the big difference is our Sherlock hit a serious wall. To his great surprise, the world is not as easy as he thought. Something terrible happened to him in London and he spiraled out of control."
The character has retained a singleminded, even brusque manner, but Doherty said Miller's Holmes is at heart a good guy. "I absolutely don't see him as a sociopath. I see him as someone who is driven ... to do the right thing, to help people. I really do think that at the end of the day he believes in justice. It's not just about putting bad guys behind bars. Helping people and doing the right thing are factors that play into it as well.
VIDEO: First look at Elementary and CBS' other new series
Liu was quick to point out that her take on Watson will be less the bumbling sidekick that the character has devolved into over the years and more the brilliant partner and observer of the original. "Historically, it's been a bit skewed," she said. "Originally, if you've ever been able to read the actual literature, Watson is actually not really comedic.
"The foot in the bucket and that kind of Watson happened because in entertainment there's got to be a sidekick. In this case, I don't think that's the direction we're going in," she said. "But ask me in six episodes. If I have a foot in a bucket, we're going to have a discussion."
Elementary premieres on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 10/9c on CBS. Will you be tuning in?

I will try to correct some of the obvious errors. It is a good essay - good luck to you in your future of international relations!
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Elita Yunanda. I am a student currently enrolled in Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Yogyakarta majoring [in]International Relation[s]. I wish to apply for the International Youth Exchange Program,
especially[particularly the] Indonesia-Canada Youth Exchange Program (ICYEP). I would also kindly like to introduce myself for the candidacy opportunity to be nominated for[It would be a great honor to be selected into the] Indonesia-Canada Youth Exchange Program (ICYEP) during[for] 2011-2012.
I would like first to briefly introduce myself. I come from a family that values
cultural[our culture] highly. I have been a person who likes to work with numbers since I started at school. I have always been motivated by my parents[,] especially my mother[,] and I always do the best I can at my studies. Therefore, I have always been one of the best students from primary school to university. I am a high achiever with outstanding study and performance habits.
My strengths
are my[include]: self-confidence, focus, passion, optimistic[optimism], and perseverance. I am a highly motivated, initiativeself-starting, hard-working, and ambitious person. Furthermore, I am responsible and considerate. I am good at working[able to effectively work] individually and also good at[as well as] working as part of a team. I easily adapt to new situations, and I make friends easily. I am a person who always learns from my mistakes and failures. My weaknesses are my: doubt, frustrations, and being stagnant. [is there any way to make these weaknesses sound better - maybe, "despite my many successes, I still sometimes have doubts". "I can get frustrated when despite my hard work my plans are not fully realized" does this make sense?]
During my studies, I have gained a theoretical and practical background in social politics especially
how to[concerning] negotiating[negotiation] and diplomacy. I am familiar with international or national issues[new sentence] because in my courses, there are always[My courses involve ] analyzing, describing[, and] even explaining several[many] issuessocial, andpolitical[ , and] economic sglobal [issues]. I have to presentations[am required to present] my paper[s] so this[which] helps me to be able to speak in front of people easily and clearly.
My studies
are[involve] analyzing, describing and explaining several issues both international and national, include[[including] Europe[an] Union issues such as Canada. [but Canada is not part of the European Union ??] Beside[s] fundamental diplomatic knowledge, also study{I have also studied] aboutmilitary base ofsecurity and [national] defense [issues] that became national aspect. Even though my undergraduate program has given me a strong background in the fundamentals of various international relation[s], such as social, political, and economic . This[, this] is not enough for me to be a professional. I [must ] have tomore practice to enrich my skills and broaden my knowledge.
Though I enjoy my courses, I always
have[had] the dream to be able to continue[of continuing] my study in social-politics abroad. I came[have come] to realize that my knowledge is still limited in many areas. But in my country, unfortunately, there are very few opportunities in this area, in which[so] it is difficult to enhance my potential. Encouraged by the lecturers[my professors], I decided to apply for the International Youth Exchange Program 2011.
I believe that this program
has[will have] a positive impact for my study because it take in[focuses on the] study of International Relation[s]. All human activity in fields such as information technology, economics, physics, social[sociology] as well as others, will run well if they are cited[sited] within a good diplomatic framework. This fact stimulated me to attend the[major in] International Relation[s] at Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Yogyakarta. I chose Negotiation-Diplomacy as my specialization even though at that time, not many people knew about essential[ity] of diplomatic relation[s]. Many people just knew about international relations but could not explain more about it.
The reason I choose [the]Indonesia-Canada Youth Exchange program (ICYEP) is because of its fascinating and prestigious program. I have read through the course descriptions which are offered and I believe that your top level program can benefit me in many areas.
Meanwhile, located in Canada [ Canada is not a city - name the city], a city of culture and high technology, the chance to study
at[in] Canada would give me the opportunity to exchange information with other students from different cultures and nationalities. I can meet different kind[s] of people that[who] will give me different point[s] of view s, thus, contributing for[to] my flexibility and creativity, besides the cultural and language gains.
With high-quality education in multidisciplinary courses in combination with a good atmosphere, I am confident that I will have a
pleasant stay[enriching experience] as wonderful as it has been for previous participants. In addition, with my good[I have] skill[s] in speaking English, skill[the] dancing of [my] traditional culture, sewing, little skill of[and I even know a little] magic. I know that in ICYEP need ofcultural aspect[s] [are an important] part of culture diplomatic mission from Indonesia.
I consider myself to be a good candidate for ICYEP because I am a young, energetic, hardworking, visionary, and motivated person, and I believe that I can do something for the benefit of my country where I have been studying. I have done my best and given the maximum effort I could give for my institution. But this is not enough
,[.] I am not satisfied yet with what I have done. I believe that I can do much better if I am trained and developed further ,by this program.
Thank you in advance for considering my application.

NEA salutes public education's unsung heroes on Education Support Professionals Day
Annual event highlights role of ESPs in students' lives
WASHINGTON - November 17, 2010 -
Schools across the country are joining the National Education Association and its 3.2 million members today in celebrating Education Support Professionals Day. Among the day's events and activities are appreciation breakfasts, luncheons and other celebrations to honor the individuals who work behind the scenes to support students and help schools run smoothly.
Education support professionals (ESPs) are the people who drive the buses, clean the buildings, prepare the meals, and bandage the scraped knees. They also include the security guards, paraeducators, office assistants and technicians. ESPs are the first to arrive at school and the last to leave, and schools couldn't operate without them. Even though they make up more than 40 percent of all public school employees, their role in supporting students and teachers is often overlooked.
"Education support professionals are public education's unsung heroes," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "The public rarely hears about the positive impact they have on a school community. But the students get it. They know they can depend on the school nurse, the bus driver, the custodian and other school staff who care deeply about them."
To honor ESPs locally, Van Roekel, along with ESP of the Year Helen Cottongim and NEA ESP Chair Laura Montgomery, visited Mt. Vernon Community School in Alexandria, Va., and listened to students reading thank-you notes to their favorite school staff member. Earlier in the morning, NEA Secretary-Treasurer Becky Pringle, Cottongim and Montgomery visited Alexandria's John Adams Elementary where they hosted an appreciation breakfast for school support staff.
"Education support professionals should be recognized not only today but on every single day of the year," said Cottongim, a school bus driver from Kentucky. "They do more than just provide nutritious meals and transportation. They are positive role models and play a key role in making public schools great for every child. Today serves as a reminder for students, parents and community members to thank their education support professionals who so greatly impact the lives of students every day."
More than 78 percent of ESPs are responsible for student and staff safety. On average, they have more than a decade of experience. A recent NEA survey of its ESP members found that most (86 percent) are female and their average age is 51. The survey also found:
- 80 percent work full time;
- 72 percent work in a school building;
- 43 percent work in a preschool, kindergarten or elementary school;
- 60 percent live in a small town or rural area;
- 53 percent provide care to students with special needs;
- 61 percent give money (an average of $170 per year) out of their own pockets to help students with things such as classroom supplies and field trips.
Education Support Professionals Day is part of NEA's 89th annual American Education Week celebration, taking place this year November 14-20. Education Support Professionals Day was first celebrated in 1987 after NEA's Representative Assembly, the Association's decision-making body of nearly 10,000 member delegates, called for creating a way to honor the contributions of all school support staff. ESP Day is observed on Wednesday of American Education Week.
About American Education Week
Celebrated the week prior to Thanksgiving, American Education Week began in 1921 with the NEA and the American Legion as cosponsors. The goal was to generate public awareness and support for education because of concerns over illiteracy. A year later, the U.S. Office of Education signed on, and the PTA followed in 1938.
Cosponsors now include the U.S. Department of Education, National PTA, the American Legion, the American Association of School Administrators, the National School Boards Association, the American Federation of Teachers, the American School Counselor Association, the Council of Chief State School Officers, the National School Public Relations Association, the National Association of State Boards of Education, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, and the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
American Education Week's 2010 theme, Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility, is a reminder that all Americans must do their part to help create great public schools for every student. To find out more about American Education Week, visit www.nea.org/aew or contact your local public school.

A very easy update tonight. The bulls never managed to organize a serious offensive and the bears have had another day to set up their defenses in the 800 trench and remain in full control. The SPX is now my primary window for following the bearish momentum. As long as this channel holds you can stay comfortably short.

Hello my dear readers! I hope all is well with you. I'm sorry that I haven't been active on my blog for over a year. I have been shifting my time heavily towards my family, kids especially and their schools (from 0–>100% involvement), and thus I had to set aside my blog temporarily.
To make up for my negligence is this toffee that I just tried for holiday treats. I am not into sweets typically but toffee with dark chocolate is an exception! My whole family actually love it. This recipe I found on the web is pretty easy to follow– they even have a quick video of making it.
Here's some tips for success~ Heavy saucepan, cook to temperature 315 degree, stir occasionally, medium heat. About the temperature, I tried it at 285 degree as suggested by the website, but found my toffee was not brittle enough with a bit of chewiness stick to my teeth. So I increased to 315 degree (by chance!), and the nrittle texture is just right for me. Now toffee is definitely on my holiday treats and giveaway list.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, and may your holiday season filled with love, warmth and peace!
Dark Chocolate Covered Toffee (adapted from AllRecipes.com: Best Toffee Ever- Super Easy)
2 cups unsalted butter– cut into pieces
2 cups sugar
1/4 tsp salt
15 oz (1 1/2 package) bittersweet chocolate chips
3 cups finely chopped almonds– toasted
- Put butter, sugar and salt in a heavy saucepan at medium heat. Stir in one direction until butter melts. Bring it to a boil. Cook until the mixture turns dark amber color, and candy thermometer reads 315°F. Stir occasionally.
- While the toffee is cooking, line a large baking pan (18 x 13 x 1 inch) with parchment paper. Leave some overhang parchment paper on both ends for easy lifting toffee later. Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped almonds on the parchment paper.
- When the toffee reaches 315°F, pour onto lined baking pan. Carefully spread to an even layer, covering all the chopped almonds on the pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over toffee, wait 1-2 minutes for chocolate to melt. Spread chocolate into a thin layer with a spatula.
- Sprinkle chopped almonds over chocolate, press in gently with a spatula or hand.
- Chill toffee in the fridge until it is firmed. Break or cut into pieces. Store in air tight container.

New Shape of UTDesign Program Reflects Growing Company Support
From left: UTDesign students Carlos Caicedo-Narvaez, Casio Travesi and James Smiley work on their eBike project. Texas Instruments sponsored the project and is one of the companies that has donated equipment to the new UTDesign studio.
Growing support for the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science's award-winning senior design program is paying off for both its students and its corporate sponsors.
Under the guidance of faculty advisors, engineering and computer science students in the UTDesign program are helping partner companies create solutions to projects and giving them full ownership of the results.
"Networking within the UT Dallas senior design program has enabled my company to reach specific goals within a short range of time, given my available resources," said Trey Kasling, founder and CEO of Kasling Aircraft Co., which now has three employees who first worked with the company through UTDesign projects.
"Students were exposed to real-world problems and delivered an exceptional prototype."
For students, that exposure is helping to prepare them for their future careers.
By developing a project from its initial concept to its completion, they are getting a very realistic experience, said Rod Wetterskog, UTDesign program coordinator and assistant dean of corporate relations for the Jonsson School.
"The fact that most of our corporate sponsors are repeat customers speaks to the quality of our students and this program. The opportunity to work as a team in solving real business problems is ideal preparation for life after graduation."
Students have regular contact with industry mentors and can apply their skills to problems while experiencing the stress of a worklike environment.
"UTDesign has exceeded my expectations," said Dr. Mark W. Spong, dean of the Jonsson School and founder of the program. "The fact that most of our corporate sponsors are repeat customers speaks to the quality of our students and this program. The opportunity to work as a team in solving real business problems is ideal preparation for life after graduation. It is not uncommon for students to receive job offers from their corporate sponsors at the end of the semester. There is no stronger endorsement."
Since the program's inception in 2009, corporate involvement has grown from six projects to more than 40 multidisciplinary projects each semester in computer science and computer, electrical, software, telecommunications and mechanical engineering. UTDesign also collaborates with students from the Naveen Jindal School of Management and the Arts and Technology program.
The growth required a recent expansion into a larger studio in the Synergy Park North building. At more than 30,000 square feet, the new studio is among the largest in the country, program leaders said.
The space houses 29 project stations, which can be expanded to 56. The studio includes a computer lab, machine shop, seven conference rooms, five secured project lab rooms, a seminar room and more than $550,000 in state-of-the-art equipment donated by local companies.
Corporations that sponsored equipment for the new studio include Agilent Technologies, Cisco, HP, MSC Industrial Supply Co., National Instruments, Newark, PTC, Stratasys and Texas Instruments.
Equipment donations ranged from a 3-D printer provided by Stratasys to the first inventory vending machine operated by a tablet and created by MSC. UTDesign partners such as Intuit and National Instruments are further investing in the program by providing students with additional training and external resources.
"Companies — some that participate every semester — are investing in UTDesign not just for intellectual property, but because they feel compelled to give more based on great returns on previous investments and because they're committed to the educational process," Wetterskog said.

Currency funds manager Axel Merk warns the die of the dollar's long-term decline has been cast, suggesting investors recognizing we've crossed this currency Rubicon may find salvation in a widely "misunderstood" euro.
In a recent commentary, the chief investment officer of Merk Investments, which managers four currency-based funds, offers a variety of unflattering comparisons between U.S. monetary and fiscal management and that of the oft-maligned eurozone.
The euro, he notes, bested the dollar two years ago in the midst of the eurozone crisis, and last year as well.
U.S. monetary policy, with its emphasis on the purchase of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, has kept rates low.
But rising rates — to be expected as the Federal Reserve tapers its bond purchases — have been associated with a weakening dollar, Merk says.
A greater problem, however, is our inability to afford positive real interest rates.
"The biggest threat we face might be economic growth," her writes, "because a stronger economy may warrant higher interest rates in order to contain rising inflationary pressures."
And if rates returned to their historic average of 5.6% between 1973 and 2012, the ensuing $1.2 trillion in interest expense (from our current $220 billion) would overwhelm the federal budget.
The currency investor sharply criticized what he sees as the Yellen Fed's abandonment of its price stability mandate, arguing the Fed actually wants inflation "to push up home prices … and to dilute the value of government debt." Such a policy is a further blow to the long-term value of the dollar.
In contrast, the "ugly duckling" euro, as he calls it, has not taken the Fed's money printing approach.
Whereas the U.S. has expanded its balance sheet by close to 360% since August 2008, the European Central Bank's balance sheet has expanded about 50% over the same time period.
Moreover, "the cost of borrowing for weaker eurozone countries has been falling since August 2012," he writes; the contraction in the spread between Spanish 10-year bond yields over the German benchmark from well over 6% to about 2% today adds an important source of stimulus, he says.
Merk describes a number of efforts and ideas to weaken the value of the euro — which for structural and other reasons have been ineffective — which is further good news for euro currency investors.
The eurozone has been "healing," he says, noting that European flare-ups no longer trigger "contagion," as in previous crises involving Cyprus and Spain. A sign of the improvement is the healthy development of hedge funds buying Greek banks and Spanish real estate — risk investments that, if they go wrong, will damage wealthy private investors rather than major European banks as in the past.
The U.S., on the other hand, is saddled with a massive current account deficit, which, as he puts it, means it "needs to attract over 1 billion U.S. dollars every day to keep the currency from falling," in contrast to internally financed eurozone budget deficits.
That makes the U.S. vulnerable to bond vigilantes in the future, Merk warns.
"If [the] bond market acts up the U.S. dollar might come under more pressure than the euro has ever seen," he concludes, "and would force policy makers to impose reforms."

A federal judge in Alabama has delayed for one month the enforcement of that state's tough new immigration law, set to go into effect this Thursday, Sept. 1.
Responding to challenges to the suit from the U.S. Department of Justice, social-justice groups and religious organizations around the country, Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn on Monday indicated that she needs more time to determine whether all or parts of the law are constitutional.
Alabama's new law, which requires members of law enforcement to check the immigration status of individuals they suspect of being in the country illegally, is quite similar to an anti-immigration law enacted last year in Arizona. However, it goes further by making it a crime to knowingly transport an undocumented immigrant and requires school officials to determine the immigration status of students and their parents.
As in Arizona, the Alabama law has brought complaints from law enforcement. Sheriff Mike Hale in Jefferson County, Ala., said that deputies will have to spend much of their time checking the status of individuals, when that department already has fewer folks on patrol because of budget cuts.
And Scott Douglas, executive director of Greater Birmingham Ministries, said that the law will open the door to racial profiling of people who are viewed to be more likely to have undocumented status. Illegal immigration from Mexico is frequently the focus of policy discussions about immigration. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, 3 percent of Alabama's population is Hispanic — 70 percent of whom are of Mexican origin.
Last week a small multiracial group held hands and stood in a circle, holding a vigil before a hearing for a temporary injunction to be placed on the immigration law. And in June, not long after Republican Gov. Robert Bentley signed the new law, a coalition of faith-based groups organized a march through downtown Birmingham. Though hundreds had traveled these same routes in years past during civil rights marches, this one was different.
There were lots of browns, blacks and whites. There were Christians, Jews, Catholics and you-name-its. There were no songs sung like "We Shall Overcome." On that Saturday, there was silence, broken only by prayer and the lighting of candles.
Around that same time, William H. Willimon, the white bishop of the state's predominantly white United Methodist Church conference, wrote a letter calling on Bentley, also a Southern Baptist deacon, to halt the enforcement of the law.
"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote that, just as Christians have a moral duty to obey just laws, they also have a moral duty to disobey unjust ones. We are a group of United Methodist ministers from all across the state of Alabama who believe that HB 56 is an unjust law," Willimon wrote.
The bishop was referencing King's 1963 "Letter From a Birmingham Jail," 6,800 words scribbled in the margins of a newspaper. As King sat locked up in a dingy cell, he challenged the clergy who were standing on the sidelines of the nonviolent protest and questioning his involvement as "unwise and untimely."
Religious leaders maintain that Alabama's immigration law, as it stands now, would punish those who seek to assist immigrants or even transport them to worship services. Gov. Bentley and Republican leaders in the Legislature, however, argue that now is the time for the state to get a handle on illegal immigration.
"We have a real problem with illegal immigration in this country. I campaigned for the toughest immigration laws, and I'm proud of the Legislature for working tirelessly to create the strongest immigration bill in the country," Bentley said shortly after signing the bill into law.
Those who oppose all or parts of the law say that it's mean-spirited and will have a negative impact on the Alabama economy while delivering yet another race-based bruise to a state that was a major battleground in the fight for civil rights.
"This law revisits the state's painful racial past and tramples the rights of all Alabama residents," said Mary Bauer, legal director of the Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center. "It should never become the law of the land."
The Greater Birmingham Ministries' Douglas said that faith groups in Alabama began discussions about immigration long before the Legislature passed the anti-immigration law. The Alabama Faith Council was formed about six years ago, he explained, bringing together Christians, Jews, Muslims and other faiths.
"We said, let's come together on those things we can agree on. For all of us, there is the basic text: 'Extend preferential love for the least of these.' That includes assisting strangers among us. Jesus was a stranger," Douglas said.
While Judge Blackburn has temporarily delayed enforcement of the law, Douglas pointed out that this does not mean victory. However, "I'm happy to know that she is taking time to do more research," he said. "I think it's an indication that she is not going to pass all of it."
At a rally scheduled for Sept. 1 at 5:30 p.m. in downtown Birmingham, faith leaders again will call together those who oppose the law. "We have to persevere," Douglas said. "Fear is what drives much of the popular support for the new law. We have to temper that sense of fear."

WE are a family-owned & operated business that specializes in ridding Marietta homeowners of raccoons, opossums, birds, and other wildlife that may have inhabited your home. We offer AFFORDABLE Wildlife Removal Services as well as animal damage restoration & repair to rid your home of the disease-causing pest waste.

We take our Fulton County & Forsyth County customers' satisfaction seriously and will go above and beyond to ensure the job is done right. Your family's overall well-being and happiness is the top priority with any of our Wildlife Removal services. When you call us for wildlife removal in Marietta, you can count on us to remove the nuisance critters: (Squirrels, Bat Removal Experts, Raccoons, Rats & More) and prevent the animals from coming back into your home.
Southern Wildlife Management specializes in pest removal services and can do much more than trap a raccoon and remove it. We are a full-service Raccoon Removal business, we have the proper equipment and knowledge it takes to carry out these services professionally and effectively. As a full-service company, we offer many removal services, from structural damage restorations to raccoon exclusion and prevention services. We can fix, cleanup, and repair any damages caused by wild animals, as well as raccoons. As a wildlife/ animal removal company we will be able to work side-by-side with Marietta homeowners' insurance companies to ease the hassle of the repair process.
Rat trapping can be a terrifying experience for a lot of the homeowners in Marietta that require our expertise. What makes our rat trapping services superior is that we take the measures necessary to provide you with a safe & comfortable environment while we are performing the rat trapping services. All of our rat traps that are set inside or that you would come into contact with are always concealed traps. Either concealed cage style rat traps or concealed snap traps. Neither way the trap itself nor the rats can be touched or seen. They are safe around small children & household pets. Plus it allows us to utilize discretion when trapping so no one is exposed to any unpleasant sights. All of our rat trapping jobs have been completed within the typical one week time frame.
We go a step above and beyond the average Snake Control Company when we are called out to catch & remove any snakes from a property in Marietta, Georgia. Not only do we send more than one trained & licensed Wildlife Technician to scour the property and locate any snakes. We also provide the clients with written habitat modification suggestions which would make the yard less hospitable to snakes in the first place. If you make snakes uncomfortable – they will keep on moving!
Marietta and the surrounding cities are forever battling nuisance birds… especially Geese. Whether you need Goose removal, Goose hazing, Pigeon control, Woodpecker trapping or any other Wild bird control the trained & skilled Wildlife Technicians have the traps, hazing devices & tools necessary to either trap and remove the birds or to scare them off in a manner where the birds: woodpeckers, geese, pigeons & more stay away. We have low-tech means of hazing such as trained dogs all the way to the highest technology (newest technology) on the market with deterrents to scare them off. We can get rid of the nasty mess and the birds that caused it.
Squirrel trapping at it's finest in Marietta. We have an in-house rehabber who will take the orphaned squirrels and hand-feed them until they are able to live on their own, without intervention. We know how to trap squirrels & keep them from coming back into the house or attic. We love squirrels – BUT we love them outside. Not nesting in the attics and chewing wires and causing mass destruction in the attic. They need to go. It is the law in Georgia that traps are checked daily. We do just that. Squirrels would never make it in a trap for longer than one day any way. We had to custom design guards on the traps to encourage the squirrels to calm down while they are in the traps until we can come and remove the squirrels.
Coyotes are all over suburban Marietta. Nestled right in between multi-million dollar homes are dens of coyotes. When an area has a population growth of coyote and the natural food sources start to be reduced by coyotes feeding, the natural next step is for the coyote to seek out easy prey like domestic cats and dogs. Most of whom are unsuspecting and unaware of the threat that coyotes pose to them. We cautiously trap coyote and do all of our trap checks first thing in the morning to greatly reduce exposure of the trapped coyote to any humans or pets.
There is not a month that goes by that we are not performing beaver trapping somewhere in Marietta. We are the beaver trapping company of choice for Cherokee County Parks & Recreation as well as many of the Country Clubs, Golf Courses and exclusive communities in Marietta & Marietta. We can cage trap the beavers and relocate then to where we have permission which takes longer than trapping them and dispatching the beaver humanely. Either way, it is the customer's choice. Regardless of how we trap the beaver in Marietta, the traps are checked every single day and the beaver are always treated humanely.
Possums have got to be the most interesting animal to trap. We do not know, other than sheer numbers at birth, how they still exist. They are dumb, slow and easy to catch. We can even hand catch the possums easier than any other animal. Marietta has many possums that dwell under the decks, in garages or crawl spaces. A telling sign that a possum is set up a den in your property is usually the foul musky odor and the fleas. We use cage traps on possums and relocate them quickly. Possums are hardy and very durable.
We perform bat removal, bat control & bat exclusion services all over the entire State of Georgia and not just in Marietta. Our two largest bat trapping jobs have been in Madison Georgia (Madison County) and South Georgia in a log cabin right near the Florida State line. Bats take special precautions in Georgia since bats are protected. We have to make sure that when we remove bats from gable vents, bats from attics or bats out of soffit boxes that there are no bats harmed in the process. Our licensed Bat Removal Technicians enjoy bat removal jobs more than any other service we provide… well tied with predator trapping. We seal up your home so once the bats get chased out that they cannot come back in again. We get rid of your bat problem.
We respond immediately to dead animal calls. Some of the dead animals that we pick up are:
Animal removal services do not restrict their work to removal of the offending animals. We will offer to mend any destruction of the property caused by wild animals. We will repair the animal damage, clean up any feces, deodorize & sanitize any messes left behind which will eliminate any kind of offensive smell left behind by these animals. This is because if these offensive smell is not promptly eliminated, it can draw more animals back to your residence. It is however recommended that you first do some research to get to know the companies that you want to hire since not all of them are licensed or insured.
