It appears the reprieve for Boylston�s budget could be a one-year event. Selectmen last week asked Town Administrator Martin McNamara to return to the previous year�s policy of asking for three budgets from department heads, including one with reductions.
Last year, after the state announced an unexpected increase in tax revenue, Boylston employees received pay raises, and some capital issues were resolved, like replacing failing septic systems at the library and Town House.
Still, some things were left undone. Selectmen Chairman Kenneth Sydow acknowledged that, but pointed out that preliminary word out of Beacon Hill this year is that revenues are lower than expected.
�We could come up with a decrease in revenue next year,� Sydow said. �The state is making all sorts of noise about less money going back to the cities and towns.�
McNamara said the town should prepare for level-state aid.
�It doesn�t look like they are collecting the revenues they thought they would, and there is no major new growth increases for us,� McNamara said.
Sydow wanted to return to the policy followed in recent years of having department heads draft three budgets. One would represent a budget with the same amount of money as last year. One would show the impact of a 2 percent increase, and one would show the impact of a 2 percent decrease.
True impact is typically somewhere in the middle.
Selectmen and the Finance Committee typically use the three budgets in tandem, to develop the overall budget that is presented to town meeting.
For example, a one-person department or departments staffed by part-timers cannot always cut 2 percent. Likewise, selectmen may deem some things important enough to survive what would be a cut to a department.
Although, there can be times in which the process doesn�t work as intended. For example, in the past, the three budgets by departments governed by elected boards other than selectmen were not always submitted.
This latest request is also based on comments coming from state leaders. The governor�s budget, the first to be filed at the state level, is still at least two months away. The board does have a meeting with State Representative Harold Naughton Jr. in December, which could give it more details.
�We have no revenue projections, but it is not looking good,� Sydow said. �We have to be prepared for potential reductions.�
So far, selectmen have only received one preliminary budget, that of the Boylston and Tahanto school districts.
The move of the sixth grade from Boylston Elementary to Tahanto is expected to create a savings in the local budget of about $275,000. However, the Tahanto budget could increase about $415,000 for Boylston if it stands as presented, McNamara said.
Sydow showed no surprise at the school budget, instead indicating it was the department�s first budget presentation and was created without revenue numbers. He said he expected the school committees would re-address the budget as more information became available.
�I�m sure they�ll come up with where we need to go and they�ll work from there,� he said. �But, in the last week or two, the word coming from the state hasn�t been positive.�
Sydow is also suggesting that the town follow-through on a chart developed last year by outgoing Town Administrator Nancy Colbert-Puff.
The chart, developed around the series of capital projects that were being requested last December, uses a formula based on Boylston�s property values to determine, with a fairly accurate estimation, how much each $100,000 added to the budget would affect the tax rate.
By having the chart, voters will know how much the budget is costing them in property taxes when discussions come up later about either cutting budgets, or if departments seek Proposition 2 � increases.

As the number of users, cloud services and connected devices grows, businesses must link physical and digital worlds to stay ahead of competitors, and one way to do that is through a process referred to as digital transformation, the application of corporate IT resources to both an organization's employees and its external customer base. This synergy helps to build a digital business that can drive increased revenue by delivering secure, personalized customer experiences across all channels. And the foundation to any digital business strategy begins with an identity and access management (IAM) solution that will not restrain new customer-focused initiatives.
Identity is the key to understanding customers. Unifying the digital identities of people, devices and things across all channels provides businesses with greater insight into a customer's preferences and buying history. Digital businesses that effectively utilize identity can increase revenue and build lasting relationships with customers by creating relevant and timely experiences.
However, undergoing a digital transformation is not easy. To become a successful digital business, organizations must look for an identity platform that empowers them to provide seamless and secure omni-channel user experiences. Daniel Raskin, vice president of strategy at ForgeRock, has identified the top five ways identity can propel your organization's digital transformation.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...How many people does it take to produce a decent photo of asparagus with a Parmesan crust? Obviously, more than are sitting at my kitchen table tonight. Ordinarily, I bypass the recipe and find something else to post, but this is such a nice dish that I wanted to share it with you while asparagus is still in season. I'll be posting twice today to make up for the bad photograph. The version of the dish I'm highlighting tonight was developed by Mark Bittman, and you can find his recipe and a photo of the asparagus as he made it, here. The dish is simple to make and can be assembled several hours before serving. Those of you who try this recipe will be really pleased with the results. Here's how the asparagus is made.
Roasted Asparagus With Crunchy Parmesan Topping...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Mark Bittman
1/2 cup bread crumbs, preferably homemade
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1-1/2 pounds asparagus, more or less
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper.
1) Heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan.
2) Rinse asparagus and break off woody bottoms. Peel if thick. Lay stalks in a baking dish that will hold them in two or three layers, and, if asparagus are thick, add a splash of water. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in oven.
3) Roast until asparagus are tender, 10 to 12 minutes if they're thick. Test for doneness by piercing a spear with point of a sharp knife; it should slide in but meet a little resistance. (Up to this point, recipe can be made as much as two hours before serving; just leave asparagus at room temperature.)
4) Turn on broiler and place rack as close as possible to heating element. Top asparagus with cheese-crumb mixture and run under broiler to brown, a minute or two. Serve hot or at room temperature. Yield: 4 servings.

In partnership with
Decatur, Alabama
Austin High School
Lieutenant Colonel James Walker, who nominated Shawn Dillard as a Young Hero, wrote, Courage and perseverance describe Shawn Dillard. Even though he is in pain every day, he displays the courage of one who has a heart bigger than most humans and the perseverance of one who believes if he can continue for just one more day, success will ultimately be his.
Shawn is a senior at Austin High School in Decatur. In his short years, he has undergone at more than 15 surgeries, including two kidney transplants. His physical problems began at 6 months. His condition has been described by his doctors as a kidney disease. He went through his first kidney transplant. When his aunt Nadine Newsome (who had donated the kidney) woke, she learned that Shawn was in a coma. I did not come here to preside over a death. I came here to celebrate a life, she said. Aunt Nadine then bought party utensils, invited the other kids in the childrens ward to Shawns room, and started having a party. The children called his name and sang and wished him a happy birthday. In the midst, Shawn sat up and rubbed his eyes.
When he entered sixth grade, Shawns parents noticed that he was walking with a limp. An examination revealed that one of his legs was shorter than the other, so Shawn underwent leg and hip surgeries.
Shawns only working kidney began failing during his freshman year at Austin High School. His sister, Victoria Dillard, donated a kidney, and the two of them underwent another kidney transplant surgery.
Upon returning to school, Shawn expressed an interest in joining the Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC). His mother and senior Army instructor Lt. Colonel Walker were skeptical. Walker remembered a former cadet who had overcome physical limitations, however, and agreed to accept Shawn into the program. Shawn was immediately selected as a squad leader responsible for the morale and welfare of seven cadets. He performed his duties in an outstanding manner.
In 2007, Shawn was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. In 2008, he was selected as a member of the JROTC Rifle Squad and promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant. In 2009, Shawn was selected to attend the rigorous and challenging JROTC Non-Commissioned Officer Academy. In this course, he performed in such an outstanding manner that he was selected for the prestigious honor of carrying the unit banner during physical training and the graduation ceremony. After graduating from the academy, Shawn was promoted to the rank of Sergeant First Class.
Lt. Walker says of Shawn today, I have been wearing the bars of an army officer for 37 years. I know a hero when I see one. Shawn Dillard is a hero.

Tougher targets mean hundreds more primary schools risk failure
The Guardian |by Jessica Shepherd
The government is about to announce another raising of the floor standards for Year 6 SATs results in England's Primary Schools. This will result in yet more schools being potentially unfairly labelled as failing and becoming ripe for takeover by an academy sponsor. No-one could reasonably disagree with a desire to see schools improve and children's prospects do likewise but policies like this one simply push already improving schools below a seemingly arbitrarily decided standard whilst doing nothing to change the education system for the better. Once again it appears to be motivated by a misplaced reliance on the Academy system and will be used to force more schools down this route against their will.
Hundreds more primary schools in England risk being labelled failures after the coalition set stricter targets.
David Laws, the schools minister, will tell an education conference on Tuesday that primaries will be deemed to be under-performing from 2014 if under 65% of their pupils reach a satisfactory standard in reading, writing and maths and their school fails to achieve above-average progress in these subjects.
Until now, primaries have been said to be "below the floor target" – or under-performing – if under 60% of pupils reach a satisfactory standard in reading, writing and maths and pupils do not make above-average progress in these subjects. Under-performing schools risk being taken over by an academy sponsor.
Government officials said schools improved when targets were made tougher. Last year, 476 primaries were under-performing against 1,310 in 2011. Fewer than 900 primaries could be deemed to be under-performing under the new stricter target.
However, Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said the government was "always shifting the goal posts" and that this would "do little" for standards.
"England's primary schools have been improving steadily for many years, nearly doubling the rate of children leaving with the expected standards," he said. "There is no lack of ambition. The expected reward for that performance is always a shifting of the goal posts, so it will be no surprise to heads that the floor standard is shifting again next year. Raising the bar while reducing resources will, however, do little for standards.
Laws will also tell the Association of School and College Leaders that experts will help schools work out how best to spend pupil premium money if a school is judged to be anything less than "good" by Ofsted inspectors andis not narrowing the gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers. Schools receive the £600 premium for each pupil from homes where the joint income is less than £16,000 a year.
Primary pupils are expected to reach level four in reading, writing and maths by the time they leave secondary school.
From December, the government will publish the proportion of primary pupils who achieve a "good" level four. This is so that parents know whether pupils are just making level four or exceeding it by some margin.
Laws will say many children who only just achieve level four are not "secondary ready". "We must ensure that a far higher proportion of pupils are 'secondary ready' by the end of their primary school," he will say. "This will allow them not simply to cope, but thrive, when presented with the challenges and opportunities of secondary school … The figures do not lie – a pupil who manages a low level four by the end of primary school is unlikely to go on to achieve five good GCSEs."

Lightning Recall Mark Barberio from Syracuseby Staff Writer / Tampa Bay Lightning
The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled defenseman Mark Barberio from the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced today. Additionally, defenseman Matt Taormina has been reassigned to the Crunch.
Barberio, 23, has played in 70 games this season with the Crunch, posting eight goals and 40 points to go along with 44 penalty minutes and a plus-7 rating. He ranks third for assists (32) and fifth for points among AHL defensemen. The Montreal, Quebec native leads all Crunch defensemen in goals, assists and points. Of his eight goals this season, five have been recorded while on the man-advantage.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound defenseman has skated in 212 career AHL games with the Crunch and Norfolk Admirals, posting 30 goals and 132 points with 111 penalty minutes. Last season, while playing for the Admirals, Barberio won the Eddie Shore Award as the AHL's top defenseman. He was also part of the Admirals team that won the Calder Cup, registering two goals and nine points in 18 games during the playoffs.
Barberio was drafted by the Lightning in the sixth round, 152nd overall, of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.

2013 Nissan Pathfinder: LA Auto Show
- 2013 Pathfinder redesigned inside and out.
- New engine loses power, but gains mpg.
- Pricing starts under $30,000.
The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder made its auto show debut in LA. Featuring new styling and construction, the fourth-generation Pathfinder goes on sale this month.
The biggest change to the 2013 Pathfinder is under the skin. While previous Pathfinders used a truck-like "body on frame" design, the 2013 switches to a more common car-based unibody construction. That makes the latest Pathfinder officially a crossover--and it has the curvier styling and better gas mileage to match.
Exterior styling is the biggest change from the last Pathfinder. Gone is the boxy look of older models. It's replaced by the flowing curves more common to crossovers. But the 2013 Pathfinder does keep some well-known Nissan touches. Those include chrome grille bars and a rounded rear window design.
Major updates can also be found inside the Pathfinder's cabin. The new SUV trades utility for luxury, offering high-end wood trim and leather seats. It also adds style with a curved center stack and a new steering wheel. And a new 4-inch LCD screen displays important messages between the SUV's gauges.
Under the Pathfinder's hood there's also a new engine. Last year's 4.0-liter V6 and optional 5.6-liter V8 motors are gone. Replacing them is a 260-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. While the new mill has less power than last year's engines, the SUV shouldn't feel slow. That's because it's shed 500 lbs compared to the 2012 Pathfinder. It also adds a new "Xtronic" CVT automatic that will help return 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. That's a huge jump over the 2012 model's 15 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.
But while the Pathfinder gains extra style and improved fuel economy, it loses towing capacity. Last year's V6 model could tow 6,000 lbs; V8 versions could pull 7,000. The 2013 Pathfinder is rated to tow just 5,000 lbs.
Nissan says the base-level Pathfinder S starts at $29,095 with shipping. Mid-level SV models start at $33,465. The upscale Pathfinder SL's base price is $35,295, while the high-end Platinum starts at $39,995. Four-wheel drive costs $1,600 across the board. Rivals include the Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander.
What it means to you: With its more car-like unibody construction, the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is very different from earlier models. It's now a more family friendly crossover rather than a truck-based off-road champ.

Whoever is kicking for the Chargers
Nate Kaeding, most likely the first kicker off your draft board, ended his season before it really started, tearing an ACL on the opening kickoff against the Vikings. Ouch. That¿s why you don¿t draft a kicker until the last round. San Diego is trying out guys this week, and whoever wins that job is in for a plum assignment -- and plenty of fantasy points. I¿ve heard Nick Novak is the front-runner, although he hasn¿t kicked in the league since 2008. As soon as I hear who wins this job, I will let you know.

Every New Year brings with it a set of resolutions. In my case, those reolutions usually go something like this:
- Eat better.
- Lose Weight.
- Exercise.
I almost never make it past January on the Eating Better or Losing Weight part, but last year I made it to September on the Exercise part. I worked out (almost) weekly in a Pilates class and in a Mexican folk dancing class. It was as fun as any exercise can be, but then my schedule got out of control and I couldn't find time to get to the classes regularly. I have decided that I am a social exerciser. I need to exercise in a group, preferably a group with many people for me to hide behind, in a class that plays good music.
I have also decided that I am not an athlete. As a child I didn't know there was such a thing as girls sports. My parents signed my brother up for little league football, baseball and basketball, and my sister and I became cheerleaders, or we took dance classes. In high school I decided to try team sports so I joined the badminton team. BADMINTON! After one season which confirmed to me that I am not an athlete, I joined the drama club and drill team. As I have grown more, (ahem) , mature in my years I have not acquired a passion for exercise. I look at it more as a necessary evil. I now understand that in order to make exercise a part of my life, I really need to enjoy the activity. DUH! But as much as I enjoyed the pilates and dance classes, that wasn't enough. Exercise also takes time. And time is one thing that a working mother of four kids in a blended family is short on. So my exercise routine puttered out as 2010 came to a close. New Year, new me.
Yesterday, as I was polishing off the last of the Christmas food gift basket, I heard my boys in the family room yelling and jumping around as they played with their new X-Box Kinect. The X-Box Kinect is a video game which uses your body as the video controller. Players stand in front of the video console while watching the television screen and react to the video game being played. I decided to give it a try. First, Nico and I played the bowling game. I reached out for the digital bowling ball seen on the screen, took my bowling stance , and swung my arm, releasing the ball. The ball appeared on the TV rolling down the lane and hitting one of the pins. Ok, so bowling isn't my sport either. The next game we played was beach volleyball. I jumped, and dove, mimicking a real volleyball game. I knew there was a reason I went out for badminton and not volleyball. It's hard. I swear, I got sand in my eyes, I was playing so hard! But, we were also having great fun, playing together and laughing at ourselves!
This morning as I got out of bed my calves burned. I went to brush my hair and my arm was stiff. Diego came hobbling into my room complaining of pain in his calves. That's when it occurred to me what happened. I had finally discovered an exercise which I could enjoy, and spend time with the family. Beach volleyball. On the Kinect. If only they made a badminton game.

Study Abroad
Why Study Abroad?
In addition to the numerous personal benefits listed below, your community and our world have much to gain from your cross-cultural experience. Study abroad is grassroots diplomacy at its best, promoting the exchange of ideas and understanding between American students and citizens of the host country. Take advantage of this remarkable opportunity to get to know another culture in-depth and to be an ambassador for peace; representing your country and Neumann University.
Benefits of Study Abroad
Earn academic credit towards your degree program with pre-approved courses.
Learn another language or improve your existing language abilities.
Gain a competitive edge in the job market or for graduate school. Employers and admission counselors are looking for confident, mature candidates with knowledge of other cultures and peoples, proficient in a second language, with ability to adapt to new situations.
Re-energize your desire to learn.
Gain a new perspective on your field of study.
Experience a different culture or the culture of your ancestors.
Increase your understanding of world events and gain a different perspective on the US, politics, history, and economics.
Explore your career aspirations and discover new passions and interest areas.
Misconceptions of Study Abroad
1. I can't afford it.
You may be surprised to learn that many study abroad programs cost the same as a semester spent at Neumann. Talk to your International Studies staff. Your financial aid may apply, and scholarships and loans may be available. Start thinking about possible funding sources early so you will be able to do all the things you want while overseas.
2. I don't speak another language.
All of the Neumann University study abroad programs offer the option to take courses in English and to study the language for the first time in the host country. You have a variety of choices, so take the time to meet with an advisor to find which overseas program best fits your interests and goals.
3. I won't be able to graduate on time if I study abroad.
Meet with our International Studies staff, as well as your faculty advisor, to discuss an academic plan for a semester abroad and for your remaining semesters at Neumann. Planning is the key to making sure you can fit everything in during your college years.
4. My campus leadership and athletic activities won't allow me study abroad.
You should talk with your coach/student activities office about the option of being away for a semester. If an entire semester is not possible, consider studying abroad when it will interfere less with your activities (i.e., summer term).
There are ways to deal with any and all roadblocks that you see in your way, and the International Studies Office at Neumann is here to help.

Brian and Amy are your typical middle-class New Yorkers. They've worked hard to build a comfortable life for their three children in Hicksville, and hoped to remain there to be near family.
However, every year during tax season they are hit by a bill from the federal government that makes them question if they will be able to continue living in such a high-cost area. Their story is all too familiar, and I wanted proof that we need to change the federal tax code to account for New York families facing some of the highest costs of living in the country.
To get an answer, I asked Third Way, a centrist think tank focused on middle-class issues especially relevant to families in our area, to actually crunch the data on how much New Yorkers pay in federal taxes compared to similar families across the country. The report, "A Tale of Three Cities," compared the effects of the federal tax code on three typical middle-class families—one from Hicksville, another from Akron, Ohio, and a third from McAllen, Texas.
The numbers were striking. The data shows that New Yorkers pay more in federal taxes because the federal tax code does not account for differences in wages and costs of living across different regions. This means that many New York families who are solidly middle class, but may make more on paper than similar families elsewhere, do not qualify for many income-based tax credits.
For example, a worker in low-cost, low-wage McAllen, Texas, can qualify for tax credits to help with his child care costs, while a similarly hard-working New Yorker, who may earn more, but also pays more for everything from gasoline to groceries, can't access the same amount of benefits. Applying the same tax code to families in vastly different circumstances makes no sense—even a Quarter-Pounder at McDonald's costs $1 more in Nassau County than it does in McAllen.
Even worse, in an expensive area like New York, a working-class family can end up owing thousands of dollars on its federal tax return, while a nearly identical family in low-cost McAllen can end up receiving thousands in return.
This glaring inequality is just plain wrong. Regional differences in costs of living should be accounted for in the federal tax code.
Two bills I've introduced would help level the playing field for New York taxpayers. The Tax Equity Act would adjust tax brackets for all areas with a higher cost-of-living than the national average, and the Student Loan Employment Benefits Act would allow those working to set aside up to $5,000 of their salary, tax-free, to repay their student loans. I am also drafting legislation that would index future tax credits to regional costs of living.
These common-sense measures will strengthen the middle class and lay the foundation for New York's future. It's time to give New York's taxpayers like Amy and Brian the fairness they deserve.
The full Third Way Report can be viewed at www.israel.house.gov.
Federal Taxes Should Consider Cost Of Living

According to Mayan researcher Carl Johan Calleman, October 28th, 2011 marks the "official" end of the Mayan calendar. Here's a little background. Regarding the Mayan calendar, the Maya had the ability to understand time as a formative principle. Time was holy. Time formed history, not the other way round. Time was not a succession of days; it was the enactment of a cosmic plan. Their Long Count (succession of suns) calendars contained the map of this plan. (This info is from The Complete Idiot's Guide to 2012 by Synthia and Colin Andrews.)
Despite the prophecies of doom, most people believe that the end of the Mayan calendar signifies a time for purification and awakening --both personally and globally. Shamans from indigenous tribes around the world believe that humanity is leaving the Age of Separation and entering the Age of Illumination. The old ideas and beliefs are dying to make way for the new thoughts, new attitudes, and new awareness. It is anticipated that human consciousness has undergone an evolution of consciousness which brings us an abundance of higher spiritual experiences and greater human potential for peace and love.
The date of December 21, 2012 is a Winter Solstice and a very rare and amazing astrological event where our solar system will align with the central sun of our galaxy --also called the Milkyway. This alignment, which the Mayan wrote as happening every 5,126 years, will create an eclipse of the galactic center, and after December 21, new cosmic energy will stream into the galaxy in sync with the starting of the New Age, as predicted in the Mayan creation story.
So, from October 29th (a portal day) through to December 21, 2012 we have a Void Time -- very much like the black hole that scientist say exists in the center of the Milky Way, The Maya called the center of the Milky Way the "womb of the world", and as modern scientists also believe, this is where new stars, suns and planets are born. The Void Time means that we no longer have a map to follow. We've run out of the beaten path and are facing untrodden wilderness. This can be seen as very frightening -- or we can put on our pioneer hats (I prefer my pirate hat) and go on a new journey to discover new treasures about who we really are, why we are really here, and how we can all get along so our beautiful planet Earth can be treated as sacred and vital to our existence!
When a shaman enters a void space, she/he is very aware that all that can first show up is what lies in the darkest corners of the subconscious.
Remember Luke Skywalker going into the cave in "The Empire Strikes Back"? He asks Yoda what is in there, and Yoda replies "only what you take with you."
So we have a golden opportunity for 418 to choose to become aware of our dark material, and to choose to transform it. And of course, the transformation occurs through acknowledgement, acceptance, compassion, forgiveness, and making a faith gesture for what will enable you to love your Self unconditionally.
So, welcome to the Void Time, and remember that you have the power to choose between Fear or Love.
I'd choose Love if I were you!

A temporary east London mosque that has been refused planning permission faces demolition after a high court ruling.
The Islamic missionary movement Tablighi Jamaat had sought permission to build a permanent mosque on a 17-acre site near the Olympic Park in Stratford. Its plans to provide a place of worship for around 9,000 people were opposed by Newham council in 2012.
Tablighi Jamaat appealed to what is now the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, which rejected the proposal in October 2015. At the time, the movement was also ordered to cease using existing buildings on the site as a mosque.
The ministry said its decision was based on "concerns that include local housing provision and conflict with the council's local plan for the borough".
There was also considerable opposition from residents. In 2007, more than 250,000 people signed an online petition opposing the plans for the mosque. Organisers claimed to represent "the Christian population of this great country England" and said the mosque would "cause terrible violence and suffering".
Since the 2015 decision, the organisation has operated a temporary mosque with a capacity of 2,500 on the site. It went to the high court seeking to overturn a demolition order.
However, the court ruled in the council's favour and ordered the mosque's owners to pay more than £22,000 in costs to the council. The organisation has until 16 February to take the case to the court of appeal.
Tablighi Jamaat bought the site, a chemical works decommissioned 30 years ago, in 1995 for £1.6m.
The organisation said it had no one available to comment on the high court decision.
A spokesperson for Newham council said it now wished to see the site developed for residential and employment uses. "The council now expects the owners of the site to fully comply with the court's judgement and would welcome positive dialogue to bring forward a comprehensive development proposal that the council can support," the spokesperson said.

Off the Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art
Off the Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art is a compelling exhibition curated and organized through Art Works for Change, an organization whose mission is to "harness the transformative power of art to promote awareness, provoke dialogue and inspire action." Through this exhibition, Art Works for Change is bringing much needed attention to the violence experienced by women world-wide. As exhibition curator and Art Works for Change founder Randy Rosenberg states, "The range of gender-based violence is devastating, occurring, quite literally, from womb to tomb. It occurs in every segment of society, regardless of class, ethnicity, culture, or whether the country is at peace or war."
Featuring the work of 30 international artists, Off the Beaten Path brings awareness of the root causes of violence against women and aims to create empathy for women's stories. The dialogue fostered through the art displayed – painting, photography, sculpture, multi-media, video, installation – speaks to the pervasiveness of this social issue. Ultimately the show aspires to empower women and girls with new behavioral choices.
Premised on the visionary potential of art, the stories that underlie featured artwork by Mona Hatoum, Marina Abramović, Wangechi Mutu, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Yoko Ono among others, help us feel and understand the essence of the problem of violence against women. Can art foment social change? It is the hope and intent of Off the Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art that, yes, art can indeed be a powerful medium and agent for change towards betterment of society as a whole.
This exhibition was organized by Art Works for Change, Inc. with generous support from the Oak Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, and the Donner Canadian Foundation.
This exhibition contains mature content.

How Fin-Tech Startups Are Disrupting Wall Street
It's a street in lower Manhattan that symbolizes the entire financial market...and as an industry steeped in tradition, Wall Street is ready for disruption. Startups working in fin tech are helping banks grapple with everything from Big Data and cybersecurity threats to the growing number of customers using mobile and social media.
We head to the Partnership Fund for New York City, which along with Accenture runs the FinTech Innovation Lab. The program pairs early-stage startups with mentors in the banking industry. Maria Gotsch of the Partnership Fund says technologies that banks are looking to incorporate aren't being developed by people from Wall Street -- the new innovations are coming from outside entrepreneurs. Laila Worrell, a managing director at Accenture, says the need for fin tech is greater than ever, as banks are under enormous pressure to improve profitability.

text: Centurion - On a day where the advantage swayed from one side to the other several times, AB de Villiers put South Africa in the pound seats as they ended the first day of the third and final Test against Pakistan on 334 for six in Centurion on Friday. On 98 overnight, De Villiers would have to wait until the morning for his century and partner Vernon Philander, on 45, likewise for his half-century. After the opening pair made early departures, Hashim Amla staged a recovery, scoring a magnificent 92. He fell short of his century when he tried to drive Rahat Ali and got a thick outside edge to the wicketkeeper.LIVE SCORINGVIDEO: South Africa v Pakistan 3rd Test day 1, latest highlights Dean Elgar (7) failed to make the most of his opportunity, coming in at number six, and Robin Peterson was run out unnecessarily going for a run which was never on. De Villiers sent him back and he was caught short by a direct hit from Mohammad Irfan at mid-on. Ehsan Adil, aged 19, took two wickets on debut and they included the scalps of Graeme Smith and Faf du Plessis. With only one match under his belt prior to this Test, Rahat Ali bagged three of South Africa's top six, conceding 95 runs. Alviro Petersen (10) was trapped in front to give Rahat his first wicket in Test cricket and Smith gifted Adil his first wicket off only his third ball in Test cricket. Smith (5) got an outside edge which ballooned to the slips and Younus moved swiftly across to his right to snatch the catch. Opting for a fourth seamer instead of another batsman to replace the injured Jacques Kallis, South Africa looked to be in trouble on 38/2. Amla and Faf du Plessis rescued the side and the pair shared an attacking third-wicket stand of 69 off 116 balls. Du Plessis (29) was out shortly after lunch to a delivery from the youngster Adil. The ball moved away slightly and shaved the outside of the bat on its way through to the keeper. De Villiers joined Amla for a crucial 79-run partnership, before Rahat was responsible for Amla's demise. Rahat took the new ball after 80 overs, when South Africa were on 308 for six but he was unable to make inroads into the tail. De Villiers played responsibly, bringing up his half-century off 111 deliveries. At the close of play, the unbeaten seventh-wicket stand between him and Philander was worth 86 off 136 balls and included eight boundaries.

I'm about to get ready for bed. Why, you ask, since it is only 8:30 in the central time zone? Because my wife, an Anglophile, is going to get up at 3 a.m. to watch the royal wedding. So if the alarm clock is going off at 3, I've got to get some sleep. But first, these reflections on the primacy of Minnesota in world affairs.
In 2009, a couple from St. Paul, Minnesota got married at a local church. They introduced a fun twist: the wedding party, to the guests' surprise, danced down the aisle. Someone filmed it, and it became one of the most-viewed videos in YouTube history, with 65 million so far–more than the population of the United Kingdom. Here it is:
This video became so famous that when Jim and Pam got married on The Office, they borrowed the theme. But that isn't all: T-Mobile, in a streak of marketing genius, copied Jill and Kevin's Minnesota wedding, and adapted it to tomorrow's ceremony. So far, almost 14 million people have seen it on YouTube. You may well be one of that group; if not, here it is. The actors, generally, look amazingly like the real people:
So there you have it. Minnesota leads the world. Jill and Kevin in St. Paul today, William and Catherine at Westminster Abbey in a couple of years.
Now, it's off to bed. Tomorrow starts early!
