The babe in the manger, the greatest of all gifts ever given, the gift of Jesus--what more could we ask for than God's only son? He is a gift that each of us can have, each of us can cherish, and can pass on from generation to generation. Let us reflect on Jesus today- the supreme and ultimate Gift from God. Jesus is our hope, our joy, and our salvation. Jesus is a gift of the Church and a gift to you.
We are all called to live out the commitment, love, and sacrifice exemplified by the Holy Family. As the first Church, the Holy Family reminds us that our families are also meant to be domestic churches centered on Christ. It was in the quiet moments of family life that Jesus was prepared for his ministry, and it is in the small, quiet moments of our lives that we are sanctified. The Holy Family is a gift of the Church and a gift to you.
Angels are God's messengers and our guardians. St. Augustine said that angels are "the mighty ones who do His word, harkening to the voice of His word." They are pure spirits, immortal and personal beings with intelligence and free will. The nine choirs of angels make up the seraphim, the cherubim, and the thrones. The Seraphim praise God with a burning love. The Cherubim bring the fullness of wisdom and intimate knowledge of God. The Thrones are the angels of pure humility and peace.
Angels are servants of God, protecting us and guiding us on our path to salvation. Angels are a gift of the Church and a gift to you.
Catholic social teaching is always oriented toward upholding the God-given dignity of the human person. The Church's teachings emerged from Divine revelation and they give us a blueprint to live by in a turbulent and ever-changing society. The Church calls us to care for the poor and the vulnerable, take care of the earth, promote justice, participate in community, and recognize the sanctity of our personhood, both body and soul. Catholic Social Teaching is a gift of the Church and a gift to you.
The Divine Mercy message is one of tremendous love and hope. God loves us and wants us to know his mercy is greater than our sins. We need to seek Him, receive His mercy and allow it to flow through us and to others. We can look to Saint Faustina as a constant reminder of God's Divine Mercy and to live mercifully toward others. Divine Mercy is a gift of the Church and a gift to you.
Jesus Christ calls us all to live lives of service and love. By founding schools, hospitals, and numerous other charities throughout history, the Church has heeded that call. The Catholic Church is one of the largest charitable donors in the world, and we have the Church to thank for many high-quality places of education and healthcare. Catholic schools/charities/hospitals are a gift of the Church and a gift to you.
The Divine Office, or Liturgy of the Hours, is a collection of prayers, psalm, and scripture readings that has been a part of the Church's prayer life since almost its beginnings. When the Liturgy of the Hours is prayed you are praying as one in the name of the Church, and in union with the Pope, clergy, religious and laity throughout the world who are praying it. It is so powerful when all of our prayers are united together. The Divine Office is a gift of the Church and a gift to you.
Throughout history, the Church has received numerous letters, exhortations, and encyclicals from its holy fathers. These works help the faithful examine and reflect on particular aspects of faith and morals, and aid us in living out our call to be missionary disciples. These works are often written in response to a specific need at a particular moment in time. For example, Pope Paul VI's Humanae Vitae affirmed Church teaching on the sanctity of life and the rejection of contraception right as the sexual revolution began. His encyclical has proven to be vitally relevant up to the present day, as the beauty of God's plan for married love becomes more and more clouded in society. Encyclicals/apostolic letters and exhortations are a gift of the Church and a gift to you.
The Catholic Church has a gift in the religious communities of women and men. Members take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience and devote their lives to God, dividing their time between private prayer, communal worship, and service. Each active religious community has a particular mission for which it was founded, such as education, care for the sick to missionary work. Contemplative religious devote themselves entirely to private prayer, and cloistered contemplative sisters and brothers live apart from the rest of the world. Religious Brothers and Sisters are a gift of the Church and gift to you.
As the Church was founded by Jesus Christ himself, the Catholic Church bears with it through the centuries the fullness of the Truth. He entrusted the Church with the responsibility of passing on this inestimable gift and irrefutable truth of the Roman Catholic Faith as the path to eternal life.
Fullness of Truth is a gift of the Church and a gift to you.
Priests and deacons are enabled to minister in Christ's name and that of the Church. Our priests and deacons bring can administer the sacraments which gives life in the Church and carries on our sacred tradition. In the Gospel according to Saint John, Jesus instructs us that we should "not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life" (Jn 6:27) Priests and deacons work to proclaim the truth that is in Christ and the Gospel. Priest and deacons are gifts of the Church and a gift to you.
We've probably all been told to "offer it up" at some point in our lives. Though we might be tempted to roll our eyes at this, it's actually what we're all called to do when we face hardships. When we unite our suffering to the Passion of Christ, it becomes a powerful prayer. Just as Jesus' suffering gave us new life and cleansed us of sin, our own suffering can be offered for the benefit of others. By his Cross and Death, Jesus reclaimed suffering from the enemy and made it something life-giving. So when you find yourself suffering, trust that it is not in vain; Jesus suffered first, he suffers with you now, and he is using your suffering to bring about good. Redemptive suffering is a gift of the Church and a gift to you.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25 (UPI) -- Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips and Devin Mesoraco combined for six hits and six RBI Wednesday in pacing the Cincinnati Reds to an 8-3 win over San Francisco.
Votto knocked in runs in the first and fourth innings while Phillips contributed run-scoring at-bats in the fourth and sixth and Mesoraco drove home runs in the third and sixth as the Reds won for the fifth time in seven games since the All-Star break.
Mike Leake (10-4), who had three hits and scored a run as a batter, scattered 12 San Francisco hits and two walks over six innings but only allowed one run. That came on a Hunter Pence RBI single -- the second of Pence's five hits on the night -- in the third.
By then the Reds had reached Giants starter Chad Gaudin (4-2) for four runs. Gaudin ended up giving up six runs -- all earned -- on seven hits and five walks in 3 2/3 innings.
Shin-Soo Choo opened the game with a double and Votto got him home with a sacrifice fly. Cincinnati added three runs in the third with a two-out rally in which five consecutive batters reached base. Phillips, Jay Bruce and Mesoraco had hits that produced runs and a 4-0 lead.
Pence got one run back in the bottom of the inning but Votto and Phillips each knocked in runs the next inning in a rally that and chased Gaudin from the game. Phillips knocked in Votto and scored off a Mesoraco single in the sixth, making the score 8-1.
Pablo Sandoval had a two-run double in the eighth for San Francisco.

Microsoft has announced that the next incarnation of its unified communications software - code-named Communication Server 14 - will be available in the second half of the year. Earlier company roadmaps indicated this would be the case.
Gurdeep Singh Pall, corporate vice president of Microsoft's unified communications group, demoed the new VoIP-meets-IM-meets-video-conferencing server at a comms-happy conference in Orlando, Florida, as he boasted that more than a dozen third-parties have announced tools designed to work with the platform.
According to All About Microsoft blogger Mary Jo-Foley, it will be called, yes, Office Communications Server 2010.
The new UCS incarnation will dovetail with Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and Exchange. It will be available both as a local server installation and as a Microsoft Office Communications Online web service. And it will be an "open platform" that will let you embed communications in "any application," according to Microsoft.
Pall demonstrated new tools that let you locate colleagues based on their professional expertise and determine where they are physically located. UCS is big on "presence tracking," showing you what your colleagues are up to and how they can be reached at any given time. Screenshots of the new server are available here. The client side of the new platform has a decidedly Facebookish feel.
Microsoft predicts that In the next three years, unified communications will become the norm in businesses, with more than half of VoIP calls at work including more than just voice. The company says that its Office Communications Server has grown by double digits every year for the last three years and that it's one of the fastest growing servers at Microsoft. ®

Shopping guides aboard cruise ships that come to Alaska have new rules to abide by, following complaints that they were misleading passengers and smearing local stores.
The state earlier this year agreed to a $200,000 settlement with the three Florida-based companies that put port lecturers on Alaska cruise ships, Onboard Media, Royal Media Partners and the PPI Group. The companies run shopping programs and pay cruise lines to have their employees — known as "port lecturers" — on board the ship, Alaska Public Radio Network (APRN) reported. As part of the settlement, the companies did not have to admit any wrongdoing, but they did have to start requiring that port lecturers disclose they didn't work for cruise lines and are engaged in advertising.
The agreement also barred them from bashing stores that don't participate in the program or making misleading statements about sale prices and return policies.
Ed Sniffen, an assistant state attorney general who handles consumer-protection issues, said local businesses had been upset, and passengers also were complaining that they were being ripped off.
"'Hey, I bought this diamond at this shop, and they told me that it was a two-karat something, and I paid $20,000 for it. When I got it back home and had it appraised, it was really only worth $5,000.' You know, some of those kinds of things," he said.
Though port lecturers are found on cruises around the world, Alaska is the first place to crack down on their employers.
None of the major cruise lines that operate in Alaska responded to emails from APRN asking about their relationships with port lecturers. Royal Media Partners and the PPI Group also did not respond. Noelle Sipos, a spokeswoman with Onboard Media, told APRN in an email that the settlement "simply formalized policies that Onboard Media has always followed." She said the company is complying with all Alaska rules, but not applying those elsewhere.
The state attorney general's office is reviewing about 70 recordings of port lecturers in action. Sniffen said things aren't suddenly perfect, but most of the response so far — since the new rules have taken effect — has been good.
"What we're hearing is that generally things are better. That things have gotten a little cleaner," he said. "Passengers aren't saying the things that they used to say."
Cindy Dollar was given a shopping map, coupons and a tote bag before getting off her cruise ship. The tourist from Texas said there's constant pressure to spend.
"I mean, if you let yourself, you can be barraged with the whole shopping experience on the ship," she said.
It appeared to her that port lecturers are following state rules, putting disclaimers on promotional materials, and reading from scripts that describe their presentations as marketing.

Conflict of Interest Policy and Procedures Pertaining to Sponsored Projects
The Department of Health and Human Services published in the federal register a revised rule regarding financial conflicts of interest. Read the text, in its entirety. University of Detroit Mercy has revised its policy on financial conflicts of interest in accordance with the new regulations set out by the DHHS.
While the investigators of University of Detroit Mercy recognize that their primary professional obligation is to University of Detroit Mercy, they must be alert in this changing environment to the possibility that outside obligations, financial interests or employment relationships may compromise their objectivity as teachers, researchers, clinicians and administrators. This obligation pertains to both full-time and part-time Investigators. To avoid any such possible conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest, in the conduct of grant or contract activities, the safeguards outlined in this document are hereby established, as mandated by federal law.
A potential conflict of interest occurs when there is a divergence between an individual's private interests and his or her professional obligations to the University such that an independent observer might reasonably question whether the individual's professional actions or decisions are determined by considerations of personal gain, financial or otherwise.
Investigator means the principal investigator or project director, co-principal investigators and any other person who is responsible for the design, conduct or reporting of research or educational activities funded, or proposed for funding, by an external sponsor. In this context, the term "investigator" includes the investigator's spouse and dependent children.
Significant Financial Interest means anything of monetary value, including but not limited to, salary or other payments for services (e.g., consulting fees or honoraria); equity interests (e.g., stocks, stock options or other ownership interests); and intellectual property rights (e.g., patents, copyrights and royalties from such rights). The term does not include:
- Salary, royalties or other remuneration from the University;
- Income from seminars, lectures or teaching engagements sponsored by and service on advisory or review panels for a federal, state, or local government agency, an institution of higher education, an academic teaching hospital, a medical center, or a research institute that is affiliated with an institution of higher education.
- An equity interest that when aggregated for the investigator and the Investigator's spouse and dependent children, meets both of the following tests: does not exceed $5,000 in value as determined through reference to public prices or other reasonable measures of fair market value, or, constitute more than five percent ownership interest in any single entity.
- Salary, royalties or other payments that when aggregated for the investigator and the investigator's spouse and dependent children over the next 12 months, are not expected to exceed $5,000
- Income from investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and retirement accounts, so long as the investigator does not directly control the investment decisions made in these vehicles
- Reimbursed or sponsored travel if the sponsoring agency is a federal, state or local government agency, an institution of higher education, an academic teaching hospital, a medical center, or a research institute that is affiliated with an institution of higher education.
The Conflict of Interest Review Committee (CIRC) is the committee appointed by the provost and vice president for Academic Affairs to implement this policy. It shall be made up of the Director for Sponsored Projects and Research Activities and three to five members of the Detroit Mercy faculty, from different disciplines, who are experienced in conducting sponsored research (at least one of whom has been a principal investigator involved in a sponsored project in the last five years) or in managing potential conflicts of interest. The committee shall select its own chairperson.
Areas of Potential Conflict
The areas of potential conflict may be divided into two categories. Conflicts of interest are defined as situations in which investigators may have the opportunity to influence the University's business decisions in ways that could lead to personal gain or give improper advantage to the investigator or members of their family or to associates. Conflicts of commitment are defined as situations in which investigators' external activities interfere, or appear to interfere, with their paramount obligations to their students, colleagues, and the University.
In those circumstances in which the University is engaged, or intends to engage, a sponsored project with a commercial organization, or has subcontracted or intends to subcontract to an external organization under one of the University's sponsored projects, a conflict of interest may occur when an investigator's affiliation with the external organization meets any one of the following criteria:
- The investigator is an officer, director, partner, trustee, employee, advisory board member or agent of an external organization or corporation either funding a sponsored project or providing goods and services under a sponsored project on which the investigator is participating in any capacity.
- The investigator is the actual or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the voting stock or controlling interest of such organization or corporation.
- The investigator has dealings with such organization or corporation from which he or she derives income of more than $5,000 per year, exclusive of dividends and interest.
- The investigator has received travel funds in any amount related to institutional responsibilities from such organization or corporation. The investigator's immediate family (spouse, parents, parents-in-law, siblings, children, or other relatives living at the same address as the faculty member) meet any of the criteria stated in 1-4 above.
Investigators are encouraged to consult with their department chair, dean, or director for advice prior to initiating a sponsored research proposal when they believe a potential conflict of interest may exist.
Procedures and Guidelines
The following procedures and guidelines are to be followed in resolving investigator conflicts of interest and commitment pertaining to sponsored projects. They apply to all sponsored projects irrespective of the source of the funds.
1. Each investigator is required to disclose all significant financial interests related to the investigators' institutional responsibilities, including reimbursed travel or sponsored travel related to institutional responsibilities (including purpose of trip, sponsor/organizer, destination, and duration). The investigator is not required to disclose travel that is reimbursed or sponsored by a federal, state, or local government agency, an institution of higher education, an academic teaching hospital, a medical center or a research institute that is affiliated with an institution of higher education.
As required by federal regulation, all significant financial interests must be disclosed prior to the time a proposal is submitted. All financial disclosures must be updated by investigators during the period of the award as new reportable significant financial interests are obtained.
2. The Significant Financial Interest Disclosure portion of the Internal Summary Form for Proposal Review and Approval is to be sent to the Office for Sponsored Projects and Research Activities (OSPRA) accompanied by all required supporting documentation. Supporting documentation that identifies the business enterprise or entity involved and the nature and amount of the interest should be submitted in a sealed envelope marked confidential.
3. The OSPRA shall maintain the records pertaining to each disclosure in strict confidence. Access to such records will be limited to the investigator, the Conflict of Interest Review Committee, the provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, and others who have a legal right to review the records.
4. The director for Sponsored Projects and Research Activities, or his/her official designee, shall conduct an initial review of the financial interest disclosures to determine if the CIRC needs to review the project.
If the director for Sponsored Projects and Research Activities, or his/her designee, determines that any potential for a conflict of interest is remote or minimal, the CIRC does not need to review the proposal. The director or designee shall then file a report stipulating that the project proposal and financial disclosures have been reviewed and that the determination has been made that the potential for a conflict of interest is not enough to warrant a review by the Committee.
If the director for Sponsored Projects and Research Activities, or his/her designee, determines that the potential for more than a remote or minimal conflict of interest may exist, he or she shall schedule a meeting of the CIRC to review the proposal and the disclosures. The investigator shall be informed that the CIRC will review the proposal and will be invited to attend the meeting for the purpose of presenting his or her position and answering any questions the committee may have. A potential conflict of interest will not delay processing of the proposal or its submission to the sponsoring agency. The Significant Financial Interest Disclosure and supporting documentation will not be conveyed beyond the OSPRA.
5. In its review, the CIRC will reach one of two conclusions:
- That the potential conflict of interest is not proximate or significant enough to cause a concern for objectivity or integrity; or
- That the potential conflict of interest is such that a significant financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the proposed project. In reviewing these disclosures, the Conflict of Interest Review Committee will act in a timely manner so as not to delay unduly the conduct of the project.
If the CIRC reaches the first conclusion, it shall document its determination and no further action shall be required.
If the CIRC reaches the second conclusion, it shall discuss with the investigator possible ways of reducing, managing or eliminating the potential conflict of interest. The Investigator shall be informed that a resolution plan (RP) will need to be developed and approved prior to the expenditure of any award funds.
6. The OSPRA will work with the investigator to develop and present to the CIRC an RP that details proposed steps that will be taken to reduce or eliminate the potential conflict of interest. Methods adopted in the RP might include one or more of the following:
- Public disclosure of significant financial interests
- Review of research protocol by independent reviewers
- Monitoring of research by independent reviewers
- Modification of the research plan
- Disqualification from participation in all or a portion of the research funded
- Divestiture of significant financial interests
- Severance of relationships that create actual or potential conflicts of interest
7. The CIRC shall review the resolution plan. The CIRC may modify the plan, including adding conditions or restrictions, before it approves the plan.
8. If the investigator is dissatisfied with the CIRC'S conclusion, the investigator may appeal to the provost and vice president for Academic Affairs who will consult with the Investigator and CIRC as the provost and vice president for Academic Affairs deems necessary and appropriate to the particular circumstance. The decision of the provost and vice president for Academic Affairs shall be final.
9. The approved resolution plan shall be incorporated into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between University of Detroit Mercy and the faculty member that details the conditions or restrictions imposed upon the investigator in the conduct of the project or in the relationship with the business enterprise or entity. The MOU shall be signed by the investigator and the investigator's dean or director. Actual or potential conflicts of interest will be satisfactorily managed, reduced, or eliminated in accordance with these Guidelines and all required reports regarding the conflict of interest submitted to the sponsor prior to expenditure of any funds under an award, or within 60 days (for new FCOIs, or for an investigator newly participating in the project).
The PHS requires the University to report to the PHS Awarding Component the following:
- Grant/Contract number
- Project Director/Principal Investigator
- Name of investigator with the Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI)
- Whether the FCOI was managed, reduced, or eliminated
- Name of the entity with which the investigator has a FCOI
- Nature of FCOI (e.g. equity, consulting fees, travel reimbursement, honoraria)
- Value of the financial interest
- A description how the financial interest relates to PHS-funded research and the basis for the institution's determination that the financial interest conflicts with such research
NSF only requires the University to report conflicts which cannot be satisfactorily managed or eliminated.
10. Records of investigator financial disclosures and of actions taken to manage actual or potential conflicts of interest shall be retained by the Office for Sponsored Projects and Research Activities until three (3) years after the termination or completion of the award to which they relate, or the resolution of any government action involving those records.
11. Violations of this policy or the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, such as willful concealment of financial interests, may result in sanctions being imposed upon the violating individual. If the violation results in a collateral proceeding under the institution's policies regarding misconduct in science, then the CIRC shall defer a decision on sanctions until the misconduct in science process is completed. The CIRC will review allegations of violations and will make recommendations regarding the imposition of sanctions to the provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. The decision of the provost and vice president for Academic Affairs with regard to the imposition of sanctions shall be final subject to any rights the investigator may have under the grievance procedure contained in the Detroit Mercy-UDMPU Collective Bargaining Agreement. Retrospective reviews will be completed and documented within 120 days.
In addition, the University shall follow federal regulations regarding the notification of the sponsoring agency in the event an investigator has failed to comply with this policy. The sponsor may take its own action as it deems appropriate, including the suspension of funding for the investigator until the matter is resolved.
PHS requires that the institution notify the PHS Awarding Component promptly and submit a report to the PHS Awarding Component in cases where bias is found. The report will address the impact of the bias on the research project and the actions the institution has taken, or will take, to eliminate or mitigate the effect of the bias.
In any case in which the Department of Health and Human Services determines that a PHS-funded research project of clinical research whose purpose is to evaluate the safety or effectiveness of a drug, medical device or treatment has been designed, conducted, or reported by an investigator with an FCOI that was not managed or reported as required by the regulation, the investigator involved will be required to:
- Disclose the FCOI in each public presentation of the results of the research, and
- Request an addendum to previously published presentations.
12. Collaborators/subrecipients/subcontractors from other academic or not-for-profit institutions must either comply with this policy or provide a certification from their institutions that they are in compliance with federal policies regarding investigator significant financial interest disclosure and that their portion of the project is in compliance with their institutional policies. The formal written agreement must include terms that establish whether the FCOI policy of the awardee institution or that of the subrecipient will apply to subrecipient investigators and include time periods to meet disclosure or FCOI reporting requirements. Subrecipient institutions which rely on their FCOI policy must report identified FCOIs to the awardee institution in sufficient time to allow the awardee institution to report the FCOI to the granting organization. Subcontractors from commercial firms need not make a certification, except when the prime award is from the Public Health Service. PHS requires that all subcontractors, including commercial firms, follow the above guidelines.
13. University of Detroit Mercy is required to make certain information available concerning identified FCOIs held by senior or key personnel by a written response to any requestor within five business days of a request.
14. Each investigator must complete training prior to engaging in research related to any PHS-funded grant or contract and at least every four years, and immediately when a PHS-funded investigator is new to Detroit Mercy.
Detroit Mercy uses CITI program for its FCOI training. Any investigator applying for PHS funding must complete the training prior to award acceptance. Please click here for further instructions:

Emergency Relief Board (General Conference Mennonite Church)
Emergency Relief Board of the General Conference Mennonite Church was organized as a standing body of the General Conference in 1899 under the name of Emergency Relief Commission. The immediate occasion was a famine in India. This Commission had been preceded by the Mennonite Board of Guardians formed on behalf of the Mennonites then planning to migrate to the United States and Canada from Russia. After contributing $7,000 and 800 bushels of corn for relief in India in 1900, the Emergency Relief Commission continued to function as a relief agency among members of local churches in the conference.
At its regular session in 1920, the General Conference authorized the Emergency Relief Commission to give aid to the needy Mennonite brethren in Russia and to send a representative to that country to investigate the conditions and to help in relief work; it further authorized the commission to unite its relief efforts with those of the all-Mennonite organization then in the process of formation, the Mennonite Central Committee, with which it has continued its affiliation by the regular election of two members.
In 1933 the Emergency Relief Commission was recognized by the General Conference as a permanent board known as the Board of Emergency Relief, consisting of five members. Since 1938 the Emergency Relief Board has co-operated with the Mennonite Central Committee in its war relief and rehabilitation program, in the Civilian Public Service program, and other projects. In addition its work included relief to needy members of local Mennonite churches of the conference, co-operation with the home and the foreign mission boards in relief projects in the mission fields, and co-operation with other boards and organizations in various conference projects. In 1950 the board was merged with the Board of Christian Service by action of the General Conference of that year.

Ninety-five percent of the remaining Amur Tiger population is found in the far east of Russia which is where Sergei Bereznuk's conservation efforts are focused. The main threat to this species is poaching for use in traditional Chinese medicine but habitat destruction and the poaching of its prey are also threats to the Amur Tiger.
Sergei Bereznuk has been involved in tiger conservation since the mid-1990s when he became the deputy director of Inspection Tiger, an anti-poaching group. In 2000 he became Director of the Phoenix Fund, an NGO whose mission is to conserve the fauna and flora of the Russian Far East. Since then he has been actively involved in lobbying against illegal poaching and developments that threatens tiger habitat.
Anti-poaching activities alone will not win the war against poachers. We have to fight for the hearts and minds of the local people and we must educate our future generations. We must protect the tiger for our future before his time runs out!Sergei Bereznuk, Director of the Phoenix Fund »
With the money from the Rolex Award, Sergei Bereznuk will continue his educational and anti-poaching projects. Already Bereznuk has equipped anti-poaching units working in four protected areas with GPS and patrol equipment; fuel for their vehicles; and uniforms. Special software allows the rangers to compare their data on the number and routes of their patrols along with their observations on tigers and wildlife. The Phoenix Fund will also give rangers and environmental officers bonuses to supplement their low pay and encourage them to continue working in conservation.
Aware that long term solutions are also needed, the Phoenix Fund supports educators to work with children to develop respect and care for the tiger and other wildlife. Every year a Tiger Day festival is held all over Primorsky Province and last year over 4,000 school children dressed as tigers participated in celebration in Vladivostok! Tiger Day Festival is a very powerful tool that stimulates public concern about the plight of the tiger in the wild and helps raise funds for tiger conservation.
With the support of the Rolex Awards for Enterprise, Sergei Bereznuk and Project Phoenix will continue their conservation work that benefits not just the Amur Tiger, but all the wildlife found in the far east of Russia.
Applications for the 2014 Rolex Awards for Enterprise are now open and are exclusively devoted to young candidates aged between 18 and 30 years. For more information visit the Rolex Awards website.

Sentencing delayed for attack at Topeka station
Authorities say Ray A. Miles punched, stabbed workers in May confrontation
A man convicted of attacking employees of WIBW-TV in Topeka will not be sentenced until February.
Ray Anthony Miles, 49, was scheduled to be sentenced Thursday for several convictions arising from a confrontation at the station last May.
But sentencing was delayed until Feb. 27 after Miles objected to having two convictions from Arkansas included on his criminal history. The convictions for making a terroristic threat and third-degree battery would make him eligible for longer sentences in the Topeka case.
Miles attacked the station's employees after they told him they would not report on a problem he was having with the Department of Veterans Affairs. He punched, kicked and stabbed employees before they were able to take a knife away and subdue him.

text: I'll do some testing too. I have not tried both analog and digital on separate RF connections. I think this is the only hdtv card that does have two RF connections. ----- Original Message ---- From: John <jharitos at yahoo.com> To: linux-dvb at linuxtv.org Sent: Saturday, January 6, 2007 10:29:11 PM Subject: Fw: [linux-dvb] Problem with Kworld ATSC-110 hermann pitton wrote: > it was just a typo adding the card to this case statement instead to the > above one for the i2c remotes in saa7134_board_init1 saa7134-cards.c. > > It is already fixed in the followup patch and really did nothing else > than the print out. I pointed to it on the video4linux-list, but forgot > the copy for the linux-dvb ML. > > > > > Thanks Hermann .... I guess I originally missed/overlooked your v4l reply, but checking back I do see it now! Of interest to John, Dwaine and other users, I checked the card's entry on the MythTV wiki (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Kworld_ATSC_110) and it has a recent addition that cites that support for the analog side of the card has recently been added to the SVN. See: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/12255 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thanks for the help. I did update my mythtv via the svn a few weeks ago and it does give me the option to configure the analog option for the Kworld ATSC-110. Unfortunately, the analog side of the card doesn't work. When I modprobe the saa7134-dvb, it creates the /dev/dvb/adapter0 and /dev/video0 as expected. The problem is that it appears to me that once I load saa7134-dvb it assigns both the /dev/dvb/adapter0 and /dev/video0 to the top RF input of the Kworld card. So for example in myth, I create the card as a DVB and it gives me the DVB0 input and after setting the analog option I get the -> /dev/v4l/video0 input as expected. I have OTA antenna in top RF port and the NTSC in the bottom RF port. I assign my sources and fire up the back and frontends. I go to watch TV and I get OTA digital channels but no analog. I swap the RF inputs then I get NTSC channels and no OTA digital. I've also done the same test with tvtime. Set tvtime to the /dev/v4l/video0 and if the cable is in the top port I get analog tv when I move it to the bottom port I get nothing. The same for digital when using azap. Am I doing something wrong or is it a limitation with this card as the way it stands today? Thanks again for your efforts. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

European Cross Triathlon Champs
By World Triathlon Admin on 11/04/08 at 12:00 am
The 2008 European Championships Cross Triathlon will take place in the Netherlands, on the Wadden sea Island of Ameland. The championship races will take place on Saturday September 13th, 2008 while the regular race will take place on Sunday September 14th. Because of the strong tide in the Wadden sea it is not possible to have all the races on one day.
The organisation has prepared a three day programme starting with a opening ceremony on Friday evening. Click here for the events website
The championships consist of a 1500-meter swim in the Wadden sea followed by a mountain bike course of 35 kilometres which takes the participants through the polder, dunes, forests and over the sandy beach. The race ends with a 12-kilometer run that also goes through dunes, forest and over the beach.
Other activities
The European championships are part of a Cross triathlon event that exists already for six years and has become the biggest cross triathlon of the Netherlands, attracting more than 350 participants in 2007. Next to the European championships there is a race for children up to 14 years old on Saturday afternoon. While they swim in a swimming pool they will finish at the same area as the European champion. Many children of prominent athletes participate in this race.
The island Ameland
Ameland is one of the islands in the Wadden Sea which extents from the Netherlands through Germany on to Denmark. Mudflats with seals, rich birdlife and many rare plants can be found in this unique area which is nominated to become one of the UNESCO world heritage sites. The varying scenery on the island makes it a unique setting for sports events. After the exercise one can relax in one of the four picturesque villages on the island.
Ameland welcomes half a million tourists yearly, many of them repeat visitors. Other than the Dutch, many Germans and Belgians visit the island. They all associate the island with nature, healthy and active living and hospitality.
Ameland is reached by ferry from the village of Holwerd in the North of the province of Friesland. The ferry takes 45 minutes and carries cars as well. By public transport one takes the train to leeuwarden where you can transfer to bus number 66 to Holwerd veerdam /Ameland. On the island there is ample public transport and bicycles can be rented at many places. The Island has a variety of accommodations to choose from, ranging from cheap group hostels to 4-star hotels.
Registration information
Every National Federation has the right to enter eight (8) athletes per gender to the European Championships.
Every National Federation has the right to enter twenty (20) athletes per 5-year age category per gender to the European Championships.
Important: In all cases the National Federation takes the decision about an individual athletes participation.
All athletes need to officially register through their own National Federation. However, the organization committee would very much appreciate if you would also register directly with them through the online registration system. With this parallel registration the organization committee will have an up to date overview of the registration status. As a service to the athletes the organizing committee will forward the registration data to the National Federations. Only after the permission by the NFs has been received, an invoice will be sent to the athletes.
Pre-registration through the events official website is possible until August 31, 2008. A condition for registration is that you have read and agree with the competition rules. The competition rules can be found on the ETU website
Background information
The cross triathlon on Ameland started with a try-out in 2002 with 37 participants. In later years the event steadily grew. The organisation was granted the organisation of the Dutch Cross Triathlon Championships in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Last year more than 300 people participated. More than 150 volunteers ensure the smooth running of the organisation.
The Championships are supported by numerous sponsors, both local and international, main sponsors for 2008 are Wagenborg shipping (the company that runs the ferry services to the island and a major shipping company) and Coca Cola/Aquarius (known from the sodas and sport drinks). Furthermore the province of Frysln and the local tourist promotion board significantly contribute to the event. Other sponsors are Restaurant Paal 13, Vishandel Metz, Camping Roosdunen, Camping Duinoord and Frisse Wind Events.

It's the first week of the month, which can only mean one thing: a new short video from the Paso Wine Guy! (See below.) This time, about the old mainstay of California winemaking, Cabernet Sauvingon.
Meanwhile, the Puffington Host has a feature out today on the Paso wine region, though it is a bit odd in places. For instance, there's the claim that Paso is less than three hours from either San Francisco or Los Angeles. Maybe if true if you break all the speed laws, but that typically happens only after you've visited a few wineries. Then there's the suggestion you search out wineries on "the more heavily traveled Peachy Canyon Road." What? You can hardly find Peachy Canyon Road even with GPS. This is clearly a piece written by a quick in-and-out visit, but whatever.
The Wall Street Journal also weighed this weekend with a feature on the changing styles of chardonnay, which is a good excuse to mention swinging by Stolo Family Winery this afternoon to see whether they still have any of their astonishingly awesome 2005 chardonnay still sitting in the back room. Yup: two cases left. But now there's only one left. Heh. Not worry; if the Power Line Wine Weekend ever comes together, Stolo's 2007 chardonnay is terrific, too.

I damaged my previous audio Bible which I purchased from this site about a year ago. I plug it ino a port that has higher voltage and it fried the device, so I ordered a new one. I was expecting the same device yet this one was a much superior product. Better solar panel. Better usb micro port, better soeaker, better packaging and charging cable.
By William S.
I am delighted with the Audio Bible Player you sent me. I have macular degeneration, and my ability to read is greatly compromised. It will continue to get worse until I won't be able to read at all. The Audio Bible is a blessing. It is difficult to believe that Bible can be contained in this tiny container. I am very grateful that you have brought about what seems like a miracle. God bless you. Faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God. You have made it possible tor me to continue receiving the word of God.
By Jeffrey A.
A great unit and very easy to use, it truly puts the joy in learning for your spiritual growth.
By Kim
Dr. Paul Mins has a wonderful voice, and reads as a good pace, to allow listener to reflect on what is being read. The player is easy to read, and seems sturdy. The company is absolutely wonderful to do business with! I made a mistake with my first order and they were very gracious to allow me to make an exchange and I didn't even have to pay for return shipping. I received my replacement very quickly. They were great at communicating and I was very, very, impressed overall!!!!!!
By Brenda J.
Sturdy quality, easy to find buttons to manage options, even without looking at it. Easy to change from book to book, chapter to chapter, and even shorter rewind if you miss something. I can place it under my pillow and turn the volume down and listen all night. Helps me to sleep better. I haven't had to use the solar charge option yet, but it's nice to know it's there if out walking in the summer and the battery dies.
By Donna W.
I love it, my blind friend loves it, and i will share with everyone how great this little thing sounds and how easy it is to use.
By Chuck G.
I purchased your Audio Bible at request of my 94 year old uncle. He really enjoys it and had me order one for a relative of his. It is as advertised.
By Jeri S.
It is wonderful for my blind 93 y o mother it was her Christmas present, my brother says the buttons could be a little bit bigger; but she is happy now; before she went blind she would read her Bible through every year thank you all for a very good product.
By Coulter B.
Excellent audio Bible, very easy to use and good clear audio. Dispatched immediately and delivered to Ireland within eight days. Highly recommended, thank you.
By John F.
The Audio Bible Players are the most practical and versatile ways to stay in God's Word regularly. You can take it anywhere, it's small and compact, and it even has solar cells to charge it when you're not using it. Much better than having to lug around CDs and a player or use your computer. Also a great way to listen to foreign languages and learn them if you know the Bible well enough to keep up. I highly recommend it.

Chinese Hadrosaur
The piece on the left is from China around 1400. It's currently in the Genesis Park Collection.
"It displays numerous characteristics of the beaked dinosaurs; tridactyl feet configuration, metatarsal stance, scale-like representation all over the body (except for the horn which has a striated pattern), long (albeit slender) tail, elaborate head crest and a long neck…" Genesis Park
To the right is what looks to us like a characterization of a very similar animal. This piece is an antique, also from China. The gallery identifies the piece as a "bird" (the rare 4 legged type) no doubt because of the "duck bill". This piece seems to represent a similar animal as the first piece above did. It appears to us that the artist had some familarity with duck billed dinosaurs.
The brachylophosaurus was a type of duck billed dinosaur whose fossils have been found in China. The photos below portray this animal as deduced from its skull, one of which is pictured below, right.

If you or your physician suspects a sleep disorder, call 713 - 467-1341 for information on scheduling a sleep study at Memorial Premier Sleep Center.
.....Do YOU Have A SLEEP DISORDER?......
If you checked one or more of the statements above, you may have a sleep DISORDER. You should discuss symptoms with your physician so they can see about scheduling a sleep study.
Many people with sleep apnea don't know they have it. They may not recognize signs and symptoms of sleep apnea. People with sleep apnea commonly seek help because of daytime sleepiness, snoring and pauses in breathing which may be noted by their bed partner. Once your physician refers you to our sleep center, a team of sleep specialists will use the latest technology to monitor you while you sleep. You will be given a private room, where a technician will attach a variety of monitoring devices to your body prior to going to bed. Sleep specialists, who are on premises studying several patients at any given time, will observe your sleep patterns using these devices, which monitor brain waves, heart rate, rapid eye movements, and more. While SLEEPING with wires attached to you may seem difficult, most patients find they fall asleep very easily. The next morning, the technician will remove all the monitoring devices and you will be able to go straight to work or on to your daily activities. The sleep specialists will analyze the results from your sleep study, and forward the information to your physician so a treatment program can be designed for you.

The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ
BY Rev. Andrew Murray
Chapter 33 Chastisement
"Blessed is the man whom Thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest out of Thy law; that Thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity" kjv@Psalms:94:12-13.
"Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now have I kept Thy word .... It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn Thy statutes" kjv@Psalms:119:67 kjv@Psalms:119:71.
"He chastens us for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness" kjv@Hebrews:12:10.
"Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience" kjv@James:1:2-3.
Every child of God must at one time or another enter the school of trial. What the Scriptures teach us is confirmed by experience. And the Scriptures teach us further, that we are to count it a joy when God takes us into this school. It is a part of our heavenly blessedness to be educated and sanctified by the Father through chastisement.
Not that trial in itself brings a blessing.1 Just as there is no profit in watering or plowing seedless ground, so there are children of God who enter into trial and have little blessing from it. The heart is softened for a time, but they do not know how to obtain an abiding blessing from it. They do not know what the Father has in mind for them in the school of trial.
In a good school four things are necessary--a definite aim, a good textbook, a capable teacher, and a willing pupil.
1. Let the aim of any trial be clear to you. Holiness is the highest glory of the Father and also of the child. He "chastens us for our profit that we may be partakers of His holiness."2 In trial, the Christian often wants to have only comfort. Or he seeks to be quiet and contented under the special chastisement. This is indeed the beginning--but the Father desires something else, something higher. He wants to make him holy--holy for his whole life. When Job said, "Blessed be the name of the Lord" ( kjv@Job:1:21), this was still just the beginning of his school time. The Lord still had more to teach him. God desires to unite our will with His holy will, not only on the one point in which He is trying us, but in everything. God wants to fill us with His Holy Spirit--with His holiness. This is the aim of God. This must also be your aim in the school of trial.
2. Especially during this time of trial, let the Word of God be your reading book. Notice how God desires to teach us His Word in our trials and afflictions. The Word will reveal to you why the Father chastens you, how deeply He loves you in the midst of it, and how rich His promises of consolation are. Trial will give new glory to the promises of the Father. In chastisement, return to the Word for counsel.3
3. Let Jesus be your teacher. He Himself was sanctified by suffering. It was in suffering that He learned full obedience. He has a wonderfully sympathetic heart. Have much communion with Him. Do not seek your comfort from the words spoken to or with other men. Give Jesus the opportunity of teaching you. Speak and meditate often with Him in solitude.4 The Father has given you the Word, the Spirit, and the Lord Jesus as your sanctification, so that you may be set apart for Him. Affliction and chastisement are meant to bring you to the Word--to Jesus Himself--so that He may make you a partaker of His holiness. It is in fellowship with Jesus that consolation comes of itself.5
4. Be a willing pupil. Acknowledge your ignorance. Do not think that you understand the will of God. Ask and expect that the Lord will teach you the lesson that you are to learn in affliction. To the meek there is the promise of teaching and wisdom. Seek to have the ear open, the heart very quiet and turned toward God. Know that it is the Father who has placed you in the school of trial. Yield yourself with all willingness to hear what He says, and to learn what He would teach you. He will bless you greatly in this.
"Blessed is the man whom Thou chastenest, and teachest out of Thy law" ( kjv@Psalms:94:12). "Count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations. . . . that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing" ( kjv@James:1:2-4). Regard the time of trial as a time of blessing, as a time of close communication with the Father, of being made a partaker of His holiness, and you will also rejoicingly say, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted" ( kjv@Psalms:119:71).
Father, what thanks I will express to You for the glorious light that Your Word casts upon the dark trials of this life. You will teach me by this means and make me a partaker of Your holiness. You have not considered the suffering and the death of Your beloved Son too much to bring holiness near to me. And I will be willing to endure Your chastisement to become a partaker of that holiness. Father, thanks be to You for Your precious work. Only fulfil Your counsel in me. Amen.

1. In chastisement it is first of all necessary that we should be possessed by the thought--this is the will of God. Although the trial comes through our own folly or the perversity of men, we must acknowledge that it is the will of God that we should be in that suffering by means of that folly or perversity. We see this clearly in Joseph and the Lord Jesus. Nothing will give us rest but the willing acknowledgement--this is the will of God.
2. The second thought is--God wills not only the trial, but also the consolation, the power, and the blessing in it. He who acknowledges the will of God in the chastisement itself is on the way to see and experience the accompaniments also as the will of God.
3. The will of God is as perfect as He Himself. Let us not be afraid to surrender ourselves to it. No one suffers loss by deeming the will of God unconditionally good.
4. This is holiness--to know and to adore the will of God, to unite one's self wholly with it.
5. Do not seek comfort in trial in connection with men. Do not mingle too much with them. Rather, see to it that you deal with God and His Word. The object of trial is just to draw you away from what is earthly so that you may turn to God and give Him time to unite your will with His perfect will.

10 takeaways from FCS Week 7
CFB Headlines
- No. 3 Ohio State resumes full practices
- Schedule changes give ND spot in finale
- Bob Stoops helping depleted OU staff
- No. 17 USC resumes team activities
- Injured Auburn LT Jackson out vs. A&M
By CRAIG HALEY
(STATS) - Through the first six weeks of the regular season (oh yes, Week Zero - so seven!), only six teams had moved into the STATS FCS Top 25 since the preseason poll.
The season of relative steadiness imploded in Week 7 as 11 ranked teams dropped games, leaving voters left to pick up the many pieces of fractured ballots.
Here are 10 takeaways from Week 7 of the FCS season:
- As they were beating Top 10 opponents at the same time on Saturday, a question appeared obvious: Are North Dakota State and James Madison on another collision course in the FCS playoffs? There's little reason to jump too far ahead, but let's do it anyway. Top-ranked North Dakota State (6-0, 2-0 MVFC) handled No. 10 Northern Iowa 46-14 for its 27th straight win, second only in FCS history to the Bison's 33-game winning streak from 2012-14. They would tie the record run by winning out in the regular season. In the FCS Game of the Week, No. 2 James Madison (6-1, 3-0 CAA) scored the final 21 points - all in the fourth quarter - of a 38-24 win over previously unbeaten and No. 5 Villanova. The Dukes forced four turnovers on Villanova's final five possessions, highlighted by safety MJ Hampton's 83-yard interception return for a touchdown to break a 24-24 tie. Their upcoming schedule makes it appear the Dukes will win the conference title.
- The feel-good story in the CAA comes from the team tied with James Madison atop the standings. New Hampshire has reeled off four straight wins behind interim coach Ricky Santos, including 20-14 at Stony Brook for its third in a row in conference. The Wildcats have yet to score more than 27 points in a game, but they're grinding out wins, just as they learned under two-time Eddie Robinson Award-winning coach Sean McDonnell, who is on a medical leave of absence.
- Even when Yale won the 2017 Ivy League title, it lost to Dartmouth. The Big Green (4-0, 2-0 Ivy League) simply know how to beat the Bulldogs, making it seven times in the last eight seasons by cruising 42-10 in a highly anticipated battle of unbeatens. The win was coach Buddy Teevens' 100th in 20 seasons with the Big Green, and afterward he astutely said "No. 101 is more important right now." Although opponents have held the ball on average for five-plus more minutes per game and run 48 more plays, Dartmouth has outscored the opposition 143-34.
- Like Dartmouth, Sacramento State and Austin Peay were among the first five teams sitting outside the Top 25 last week and they probably will step in from the porch. Sac State handled No. 6 Montana State on the road and Austin Peay added No. 20 Southeast Missouri State to its OVC victims list which began with five-time defending champ Jacksonville State. New Hampshire figures to get plenty of love, too.
- Interceptions plagued VMI quarterback Reece Udinski last season, as his 16 were one off the FCS high. It included his final pass in the season finale. But this year, the junior's in dominating form, completing nearly 65 percent of his 296 passes without an interception, a record in the Southern Conference. After winning only six games in coach Scott Wachenheim's first four seasons, the Keydets are 4-3 overall and 3-1 in conference following a 48-41 overtime triumph over Samford. Udinski was 37 of 46 for 390 yards, and Alex Ramsey rushed for a school-record six TDs, giving him 15 this season.
- San Diego's 31-game winning streak against Pioneer Football League opponents is made even more amazing by the Toreros' ability to handle long road trips. They're always all-business, beating Davidson 37-17 behind Reid Sinnett's five touchdown passes and by shutting down Davidson's option offense and scoring the final 27 points. With no geographically close opponent in the coast-to-coast PFL, the Toreros have 10 wins in the Eastern time zone and another five in the Central time zone during the winning streak. Coach Dale Lindsey's program also has made cross-country trips to Princeton and Harvard out of league during the run.
- With two-time defending champ North Carolina A&T (4-1, 2-0) on a bye, the MEAC got even more interesting as Bethune-Cookman and Florida A&M - both 5-1 and 3-0 - inched ahead in the standings. FAMU is under NCAA sanctions and ineligible for the postseason, so the conference race will turn a bit messier if it beats N.C. A&T next Saturday - something record-setting quarterback Ryan Stanley and the Rattlers did last season. Bethune-Cookman doesn't get the other two MEAC unbeatens until the final two weeks of the regular season next month.
- Southern has a firm hold on first place in the SWAC's West Division after a 34-28 win over Prairie View A&M. The Jaguars (3-3, 2-0), who also have beaten second-place Arkansas-Pine Bluff, have won 14 of their last 15 home games. Quarterback Ladarius Skelton scored after the Jags blocked a punt and Devon Benn added a late touchdown. Alcorn State has the early lead in the East Division, and a rematch in the SWAC championship game is brewing.
- The Southland race keeps one's head spinning. Sam Houston State fell in three overtimes to Lamar to drop out of first place, but it will have a chance to do the same to preseason favorite Nicholls next Saturday when they square off. UIW, which earned a share of last year's title with Nicholls, has reeled off three straight wins, including 27-21 at Southeastern Louisiana, to jump back into the crowded race. Central Arkansas is only a game behind, but its conference loss is to the Colonels.
If your scorecard is not up to date, the remaining unbeaten teams are down to No. 1 North Dakota State (6-0), No. 21 Princeton (4-0) and Dartmouth (4-0). Incredibly, there are nine teams without a win: Colgate (0-7), Eastern Illinois (0-7), Lafayette (0-6), Long Island (0-5), Northwestern State (0-6), Presbyterian (0-6), Texas Southern (0-6), Valparaiso (0-6) and Western Illinois (0-6).
