A UCLA football player is facing a possible charge of sexual assault following his weekend arrest at an apartment complex near the campus, university officials confirmed today.
Torian White, 20, was arrested by campus police sent to the Glenrock Avenue building on a report of a disturbance about 3 a.m. Sunday.
"We are aware of the situation involving Torian White, and we take these accusations very seriously," UCLA football coach Jim Mora said in a statement issued by the university."Torian has been suspended from the team indefinitely while the legal.
process and student discipline process run their course," Mora said. "Due to the ongoing police investigation, we are unable to discuss this matter further at this time."
White is being held at Twin Towers Correctional Facility near downtown Los Angeles, according to the sheriff's Inmate Information Center website. No information was listed regarding a court appearance or bail.
White, who has attended UCLA since the fall 2011 semester, is an offensive lineman for the Bruins, but has not played since injuring his right leg during the team's Oct. 3 game at Utah, according to the university.

In 1966 Randolph-Macon was one of the nation's first small, liberal arts colleges
to establish a Computer Science Department. The department's founder, Dr. Richard
E. Grove, properly saw that Computer Science could be both effectively and appropriately
presented within a full liberal arts curriculum. Today the department holds fundamentally
to Dr. Grove's vision in its presentation of a modern Computer Science curriculum.
In doing so, it is dedicated to excellence in teaching, fundamental preparation
of students, and involvement of students in research.
Computer Science includes the study of computers, algorithms developed for them,
programs, and the structures and techniques for the effective management of complex
systems of software and data. A firm understanding of the issues that are central
to the discipline requires a combination of first hand experience and rigorous consideration
of theoretical principles.
The computer science curriculum is intended to provide this combination
through the early exposure to programming and problem-solving settings and the careful
introduction of general principles of computing once experience has made the students
ready for such generalization.
The curriculum recognizes that computer science, as a discipline of
study, is application-neutral but acknowledges that applications form much of the
basis for research in the field. Consequently, students are taught the foundations
of computer science in major courses without special emphasis on either business
or scientific/ engineering applications. Those students who wish to direct their
studies toward a specific application area may do so, however, by electing to take
associated courses offered by this and other departments at the college.

Increasing optimal thyroid function naturally escalates your body's basal metabolic rate (BMR) and accelerates overall fat loss.
Heightened cortisol levels that result from high stress & lack of sleep are directly linked to fat storage in the mid-section. Deep, healthy sleep can lower cortisol levels and this storage of body fat.
Reduction of cortisol levels with restful sleep & increasing nutrient uptake can put your body in an optimal state of fat-loss; allowing you to actually burn fat while sleeping.
Our all-natural blend of sleep-enhancing herbs help you wake feeling alert, alive and refreshed.

Situated in the perfectly steep-sided Callejón de Huaylas valley, HUARAZ – 400km from Lima – is the focal point of inland Ancash. Only a day's bus ride from either Lima or Trujillo, it's one of the best places in Peru to base yourself if you have any interest in outdoor adventure or just sightseeing. As a market town and magnet for hikers, bikers, canoeists and climbers, the city centre has a naturally lively atmosphere, making it the ideal springboard for exploring the surrounding mountainous region; besides the stunning mountain scenery, the area boasts spectacular ruins, natural thermal baths and beautiful glacial lakes. The valley is dominated by the Cordillera Blanca, the world's highest tropical mountain range, and Huascarán, Peru's highest peak. The region is best experienced between May and September when the skies are nearly always blue and it rains very little. Between October and April, however, it's often cloudy and most afternoons you can expect some rain.
Brief history
Occupied since at least 12,000 years ago, the area around Huaraz was responsible for significant cultural development during the Chavín era (particularly 1500–500 BC), although the Incas didn't arrive here until the middle of the fifteenth century. Following the Spanish conquest of Peru, and up until less than a century ago, Huaraz remained a fairly isolated community, barricaded to the east by the dazzling snowcapped peaks of the Cordillera Blanca and separated from the coast by the dry, dark Cordillera Negra. Between these two mountain chains the powerful Río Santa valley, known as the Callejón de Huaylas, is a region with strong traditions of local independence.
For several months in 1885, the people of the Callejón waged a guerrilla war against the Lima authorities, during which the whole valley fell into rebel hands. The revolt was sparked by a native leader, the charismatic Pedro Pablo Atusparia, and thirteen other village mayors, who protested against excessive taxation and labour abuses. After they were sent to prison and humiliated by having their braided hair (a traditional sign of status) cut off, the local peasants overran Huaraz, freeing their chieftains, expelling all officials and looting the mansions of wealthy landlords and merchants (many of them expatriate Englishmen who had been here since the Wars of Independence). The rebellion was eventually quashed by an army battalion from the coast, which recaptured the city while the Indians were celebrating their annual fiesta. Even today, Atusparia's memory survives close to local hearts, and inhabitants of the area's remote villages remain unimpressed by the central government's attempts to control the region.Read More
Fiestas in and around Huaraz
Fiestas in and around Huaraz
Throughout the year various fiestas take place in the city and its surrounding villages and hamlets. They are always bright, energetic occasions, with chicha and aguardiente flowing freely, as well as roast pig, bullfights and vigorous communal dancing, with the townfolk dressed in outrageous masks and costumes. The main festival in the city of Huaraz is usually in the first week of February and celebrates Carnival. In June (dates vary, so check with the tourist office for exact dates), Huaraz hosts the Semana del Andinismo (Andean Mountaineering and Skiing Week), which includes trekking, climbing, and national and international ski competitions, on the Pastoruri Glacier.
Caraz has its own Semana Turística, usually in the third week of June. Note that during this month accommodation and restaurant prices in Huaraz and Caraz increase considerably. Other festivals include the Aniversario de Huaraz, in July (usually on the 25th), when there are a multitude of civic and cultural events in the city, plus the annual folklore celebrations in the first week of August for Coyllur–Huaraz. The fiesta for the Virgen de la Asunción in Huata and Chancas takes place during mid-August. Late September sees the festival of the Virgen de las Mercedes, celebrated in Carhuaz, as well as other rural get-togethers you'll often come across en route to sites and ruins in the Callejón de Huaylas.

A New Friend...or Foe0 Reviews
Voldemort has a secret past, yet to be revealed. At Hogwarts, a new girl, very mysterious starts. Is she somehow connected to Lord Voldemort? And if she is, how is it that she is stealing Harry's h...
It was a moving portrait, as all are in the wizarding world, but this was exceptionally beautiful. A young girl, not quite sixteen, stood in the midst of the frame, smiling and waving. Grimacing, he took the picture and tore it off the wall. Why should he have to look at it? That girl had nothing to do with him anymore...she was a traitor, and she had been gone for a long time now.
"Lord Voldemort doesn't need anyone," he muttered to himself. But he remembered a time, long, long ago, when he had felt love for someone.That however, was somethingthat would never happen again. From his experience, he realized that it was better not to trust anyone...
The girl was Layla Cunningham. Voldemort, or Tom Riddle, as he had been called back then, had met her while visiting France during the Triwizard Tournament. He had seen her beauty, and fallen instantly in love. But of this he told no one. He had never had any friends, and had always been on his own. He wanted things to stay that way...but he could not resist this girl's charm.
They secretly wrote to eachother and met occasionally--in private. Finally, he proposed to her. Since he was from a poor family, and she from a rich one, they knew her family would never agree. But they were in love, and eloped--secretly. "No one shall ever know of this," they vowed.
A year later, their lives as a married couple were still a secret--he was nineteen and she eighteen. They had used several charms to protect their secret. But now a new challenge had come: raising their new baby daugher, Erica. How could they raise her in secret?
Tom, who had never been good with children, left Layla to take care of the child, while he stayed up late at night, visiting pubs and gradually getting more into the dark arts than he had ever been. But he told none of this to Layla: she found out the hard way.
She had come to visit Lily and James the night they were killed. When she arrived at their house, the door had been blown open...and the Potters: both dead. She fled for home, waiting in silence and grief with her little daughter, waiting for her husband to return...but he never did.

Do not speak of a rhinoceros if there is no tree nearby. ~ African Zulu Proverb
It's been said that every baby needs a lap, but it might not be wise to hoist this little sweetheart in your arms – even though she is cute.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay welcomed a baby white rhinoceros into the World on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012. The new baby girl weighed a hefty 140 pounds at the time of her birth – but you haven't seen anything yet. The newborn, yet to be named, will gain about four pounds each day until she reaches an adult weight of 3,500 to 4,000 pounds.
Now that's a lot of rhino!
Check out the video of the new arrival. She is the most adorable creature on the planet.
Insider's tip: Busch Gardens' Serengeti Plain, where the new baby rhino was born, is not to be missed. Viewing the animals there is much like viewing them on the real Serengeti Plain. Rhinos flick at flies with their tails, roll in the sand and nap under the trees. Giraffes and zebras munch on grass, busily searching for the tastiest bits, and the air is fresh and glorious.
You can tour this grassy retreat on the Serengeti Railway or opt for a special Serengeti Safari Tour and explore it in a spacious open-air touring vehicle.

As the only Catholic university in Berks County, and one of two in the Allentown Diocese, Alvernia has a vibrant heritage rooted in the spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi and the Roman Catholic Church. Here, one's life is seen as a calling, with a vocation or career that is not intended merely for personal satisfaction or fulfillment, but is meant to transform the lives of others by using our gifts and talents on behalf of others.
Alvernia's essential Catholic core, evident in its Franciscan identity, compels us to foster moral leadership and learn the value of service to others in the interest of peace and justice, locally and globally, and to promote civic engagement and learning as lifelong pursuits in every career and life path our students choose.
Our students attest to our heritage:
"'The Franciscan values encompass all parts of who a person is… because Franciscan values are not only gospel centered but are people centered." Helen Rolon, Behavioral Health
"The Franciscan heritage in the Catholic Church encourages learning that transcends the boundaries of the classroom." Mohamed Sesay, Behavioral Health
Campus Ministry offers a rich liturgical life for all our students, who are encouraged to participate in Mass on Sunday and during the week. They are also encouraged to worship at one of the chapels available on campus and at the Bernardine Franciscan Motherhouse.

Donna is a mathematics major and her experience with the math courses at MUM along with the support of the mathematics department inspired her to earn a graduate degree in math. "Having the Maharishi Vedic Science Main Points Charts really enriches the whole experience of learning because we are no longer learning an outside body of knowledge, rather, the reflection of our subjective selves," said Donna.
Donna enjoys the MUM community and the healthy lifestyle it supports. Last summer, she completed the TM-Sidhi® program and she feels her routine is helping her realize one of her goals at MUM: to establish a lifelong inner state of happiness.
In her free time, Donna serves as the mathematics department's tutor. "My teaching abilities are improving and I am learning along with my students," she said." It's a gratifying and meaningful job."
After graduating from MUM, Donna wants to pursue a PhD in mathematics and complete theTranscendental Meditation Teacher TrainingCourse. Donna's parents, Leo and Debra Jones, are both teachers of the Transcendental Meditation technique and she would love to continue in their footsteps.
"Donna has made a big contribution to the mathematics department," said Anne Dow, chair of the Department of Mathematics. "It is a joy to teach her, since she delights in new mathematical ideas and is willing to spend the time necessary to understand them. I really hope she goes all the way to a PhD in mathematics."
Donna was recently awarded the Jessamine Verrill Award for her continued dedication to Maharishi's knowledge and the development of higher states of consciousness, and the Student Appreciation Award for inspiring students to reach their full potential.

Blizzard Adds Opt-Out to Real ID System, Other PreferencesBlizzard has added a full opt-out option to its Real ID program, which will span across all of its enabled games--currently World of Warcraft and StarCraft II, though Diablo III will surely support it as well.
Should players desire, the program can be fully disabled, allowing only character level listing of friends and players. Players that would like to keep using Real ID have two additional options at their disposal.
Players may opt-out of appearing of "Friends of Friends" lists, displaying their real name only to mutually accepted friends, but not that person's Real ID friends. Players may also disable the Facebook integration, which will automatically allow friends on Facebook to send you a Real ID request in-game.

BELLEVILLE, N.J. (AP) - A New Jersey prosecutor is warning against any rush to judgment following the disclosure three officers responding to a domestic abuse complaint shot a man 24 times.
The officers in the northern New Jersey town of Belleville shot and killed 40-year-old Dante Cespedes while trying to arrest him at his apartment Tuesday for allegedly assaulting his wife.
Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray says Cespedes, a chef at New York's Algonquian Hotel, came at police with at least two knives and that the officers fired simultaneously.
She tells The Star-Ledger the number of rounds fired should not lead to any conclusions. She says investigators will look at the "overall totality of what took place."
The man's widow, Judy Breton, says she wanted her husband removed from the house, not killed.

When Green Sisterhood gave away a set of kids lunch gear from Mighty Nest in August, I was jealous. I thought, "How about us grown up kids? " And since I didn't win the giveaway, I bought a set for myself. I just had to.
If you read my last post on "How to make California Roll", you can see my bento box, the insulated food jar and a snazzy lunch bag I bought. I love the set! Don't you?
I love packing my own lunch when I travel but the containers I had were not exactly "portable." They were heavy glass and I've been looking to invest in some lightweight stainless steel containers. Also, I had a 25 year old Thermos; you know, the classic red and beige plastic on the outside and glass on the inside one? It needed to be retired. So I went to Mighty Nest's lunch gear section to shop and oh boy, was I in heaven. When did Thermos grow up to be so chic? There were so many sleek models! And no plastic! Not only that, Mighty Nest had so many modern, bright colored, über eco-friendly, and sustainably sourced bentos, utensils, water bottles, lunch bags, etc….oh my. I wanted to buy them all! There were so many; it was so hard to choose!
Mighty Nest
Mighty Nest is a perfect place to go to "Find healthy, safe, and non-toxic products". They take the guessing game out of your purchasing because they already did the research in what chemicals you need to avoid and why it's important to buy products that are BPA-free, lead-free and phthalate-free. They also give you daily tips, advice and insights on non-toxic living. It's a great place to research what to avoid but also to buy your toxic free products for your family. I'm NOT getting paid to say that but I have to tell you how I love companies like Mighty Nest where I can just go to buy something without worrying about whether it's healthy for me or not because they save me time from doing the leg work. When I was at the Natural Products Expo over the weekend, I talked to many companies who said that they didn't sell to just 'any' companies but they love companies like Mighty Nest because everything sold on their site are eco-friendly and geared toward conscious living! Whoa! I felt like they read my mind and knew that I was going to host a giveaway from Mighty Nest! I haven't told Mighty Nest about that…don't want their egos to get too big, you know?
Anyway, When I bought my lunch set, I loved it so much that I contacted Mighty Nest to see if they'd offer the set as a giveaway….because I think you will also love them! And of course, they said, "Sure! Anything for you Karen!"….Ok, not exactly, but you get the picture.

The lid closes very tightly so its leakproof but it's easy to open! You know how frustrating opening tight lids can get! – $14.95

- Sweat Free Ice Pack (Slate)- I didn't buy this ice pack but I wish I had. I had my own ice pack gel but it was not sweat free.

So you are lucky they are offering this nice ice pack for the giveaway. – $9.95

WASHBURN, WI (WTAQ) - A Bayfield County judge rejected a lenient plea deal, and sentenced a mother to two years in prison for killing her young daughter in a traffic crash.
Both the prosecution and defense agreed to probation and a year in the county jail for 24-year-old Chelsea Cadotte of Bayfield.
Instead, Circuit Judge Kelly Thimm sent Cadotte to a state prison Monday for twice the amount of time agreed upon -- plus an extra six months in jail.
Thimm said Cadotte deserves a tougher sentence because she put her own seat belt on, but did not restrain her children when her SUV rolled over in July of 2012 on Highway 13 near Washburn.
Her two-year-old daughter Mariah Gordon died, and four-year-old Miley Gordon was left with a traumatic brain injury. Two other kids were also hurt.
Last October, Cadotte pleaded no contest to negligent homicide, reckless endangerment, and reckless injury.
Judge Thimm said Cadotte was ticketed in the past for seat belt violations -- and she kept putting her children at risk. By buckling herself up and not her kids, Thimm said she violated her responsibilities as a parent.

Chapter 6 - The Restless and the Greedy
During World War II, I was the pastor of a church in my home city of Louisville. I was asked by a member of the church to visit one of his relatives who was a patient at a large tuberculosis sanatorium. When I arrived at the man's bedside, I found him to be a personable and talkative man of about forty years of age. I asked him how he felt about being in the hospital for such a long stay. He responded: "I am being paid back for my sin." I did not quickly move to reassure him. Rather, I asked him: "Your sin? What did you do?" Immediately he responded: "I wanted it all, Reverend." I asked: "What do you mean when you say you wanted it all?" He said: "Well, you know how scarce labor is with all the able-bodied men in the war. I got me a job at 'the powder plant' [a munitions factory in our area], and they wanted me to work all the shifts I was willing and able to work. You know the pay is the best I ever made. I wanted it all. I would work three days three shifts without sleeping. Many days I would work two shifts. I was so greedy that I broke my health down and landed in here. That was my sin. The Lord made me lie down."
We talked about his healing process and how the very conditions of healing were a form of God's forgiveness and God's instruction of him in a discipline of his desires to what is really important. What does it profit a person "to gain the whole world and forfeit his [or her] life"? (Mark 8:36).
This honest man was one of the very few persons I have ever heard confess the sin of greed or covetousness. Two stories from the ministry of Jesus present contrasting examples of how greediness requires our very lives of us and, on the other hand, how peace and serene rest of spirit can happen to us when we are changed by the Spirit and invitation of Jesus Christ.
The first story is that of the rich fool:
One of the multitude said to him, "Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me." But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or divider over you?" And he said to them, "Take heed, and beware of all covetousness; for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully; and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' And he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." (Luke 12:13–21)
Here the man's fantasy was that if he simply enlarged his investments, increased his holdings, and laid up ample goods for many years, this would bring ease. This ease would be one he would take, as contrasted to the promise of Jesus in Matt. 11:28 that if we take his yoke upon us, he will give us that same ease, that rest which we are trusting "much goods" to provide us. The very act of wrongly placing our trust can require of us our life, because greed consumes us. Its voracious appetite is cannibalistic.
The second story is that of Zacchaeus:
He entered Jericho and was passing through. And there was a man named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector, and rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today." So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner." And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost." (Luke 19:1–10)
Zacchaeus had amassed a fortune through his despised task as a tax collector. In coming face-to-face with God in Jesus Christ, he was radically transformed in his attitude toward both his power and his possessions. When Jesus asked to be his guest at his house, he was overwhelmed by the calm forgiveness dramatized in this request. He received Jesus joyfully and announced: "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold." Jesus assured him that salvation had come to him and his house. The gift of rest and ease of heart became his. He could be freed of the burdens of greed by sharing with the poor. He could be freed of the burden of injustices he had committed by making restitution fourfold to those whom he had wronged. His life was not required of him because of his greed; rather, it was restored to him as he found the Lord Jesus Christ at the center of his loyalties, the controlling force of his behavior.
Kinds of Greed
Greed is not always for or about the same objects of desire. Yet it is one of the reasons most often given for not resting, for being fatigued. However, persons giving the reasons usually are unaware that greed is the source of their restlessness. "Gaining" is the verb that corresponds to the actions of greed. We struggle against poverty so hard and with enough success that the process of gaining money and property becomes an addictive fascination in itself. We gain prestige when we become financially successful; then the power over others associated with money makes money a means to the greed for power and control. We build a certain concept of ourselves as always being in control, "calling the shots," "naming the tune" for others to dance by, and this ego state itself must be fed more and more. Thus the maintenance of a certain image, or ego, becomes a form of greed. Even in the sphere of religious leadership, we may be so greedy for recognition and adulation that we are threatened, restless, and strained when someone else steps into our spotlight. The many-hued spectrum of greed reveals itself upon refraction to be far more than the yen for money and property. Yet we can agree with Virgil, who said: "Curst greed of gold, what crimes thy power has caused." Whatever the kind of greed, all kinds have one thing in common: the appetite of greedy persons is insatiable and leaves them as restless after gaining things as they would be thirsty after drinking seawater.
Loneliness and Greed
A part of this restlessness is the inevitable by-product of the main mechanism of greed—inordinate, compulsive competitiveness. Competitiveness of this kind leads, not to the camaraderie of teamwork, but to isolation and loneliness. Fyodor Dostoevsky speaks of the subtle connection between greed and loneliness, restlessness and genuine security:
All mankind in our age have split up into units, they all keep apart, each in his own groove; each one holds aloof, hides himself and hides what he has, from the rest, and he ends by being repelled by others and repelling them. He heaps up riches by himself and thinks, "how strong I am now and how secure," and in his madness he does not understand that the more he heaps up, the more he sinks into self-destructive impotence. (Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov, tr. by Constance Garnett, p. 363; Random House, Modern Library, n.d.)
Dostoevsky describes vividly what Philip Slater calls our American "pursuit of loneliness." In the pursuit of affluence, prestige, and power, we paint ourselves into corners of quiet personal desperation and loneliness. We perceive others, he says, "as an impediment, or a nuisance: making the highway crowded when we are rushing somewhere, cluttering or littering the beach or park or wood, pushing in front of us at the supermarket, taking the last parking place, polluting our air and water, building a highway through our home, and so on." (Philip Slater, The Pursuit of Loneliness, p. 8; Beacon Press, 1970.)
Such encounters as Slater describes are filled with strain, stress, feverish hostility, and even rage. Rest, tranquility, and renewal are the antithesis. In all our getting we have gotten neither rest nor peace.
Excess Baggage and Fatigue
The end result of the day-to-day existence of greed-ridden persons is to be weighed down with and worn down by the excess baggage of things and power they have collected. Their lives become cluttered with more than they can use, more than they need or want. The mere accumulation of things, houses, land, and money becomes an energy-consuming force in its own right. In a sense, "all these things" begin to develop a life of their own. If you are such a person, they control you and you are not in control of your own life. Ecclesiastes 3:5 says that there is "a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together." Maybe you have already gone through your time to gather stones together and it is time, as was true of Zacchaeus, to cast away stones. In Heb. 12:1 the faithful Christian is urged to "lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely" in order to run with perseverance the race that is set before us. This is not a race to get the most, to get it all, to get there ahead of everyone else, to have the last word, to hush everybody else. No. This is a collaborative race in fellowship with other Christians. We compete with each other only in doing honor to one another and in loving our neighbor as ourselves because we love God.
Such a perspective will help us get a fresh angle of vision on what is most important in life. Those whose greed makes them unhappy unless they are $100,000-a-year persons may be working sixteen hours a day, seven days a week, putting in 112 hours a week. Even at the baseline of a 50-hour week, this is working more than two shifts! Such persons are not $100,000-a-year persons but $50,000-a year persons who work two shifts! I have seen patients come into our hospital exhausted, depressed, and having made some very unwise decisions. In one case the patient had worked 183 days without a day off. Those were fourteen- to sixteen-hour days.
Similarly, I have counseled married couples in which both partners worked such hours. Their relationship to each other suffered enormously. Efforts at intervening in this system of work were very difficult. Yet the concerns that brought them in for counseling were not about their relationship to each other but about the behavior of adolescent sons or daughters. I am not suggesting that we go back to the old "submission" system of the wife not working. I am suggesting that lowering the standard of living, creating more quality time together, and spending money on family events rather than bigger houses, more clubs, more and finer automobiles, etc., would make better use of the resources of life. You will not rest unless you create time for rest and for peaceful communion with your family. Even if you do gradually start blocking out time for yourself with your family, at first you will be anxious and feel at a loss as to what to do with yourself. You will have to break through that wall of anxiety to rest peacefully.
The Simplification of Life
You have a right to rest without selling that birthright for all of the excess baggage that you are accumulating. The liberation of your life to rest in the way God created you lies within your own power if you will discipline your desires and distinguish between what you really need and what you think other people expect you to have, not even necessarily what you yourself genuinely want. Mencius, in the fourth century B.C., in his Oriental wisdom said: "To nourish the heart there is nothing but to make the desires few." You and I have much more time to replenish and recuperate our total beings if we learn (get someone to teach and encourage us, if necessary) to get along, as Zacchaeus did, with half the stuff we have and feel we must have in order to be a person. As Richard E. Byrd, the Antarctic explorer, said in his account of a journey: "I am learning . . . that a man can live profoundly without masses of things."
A Living Example of Simplification
One remarkable example has been set for older persons in the simplification of life by some young people. I know a large number of them who have simplified their lives drastically as contrasted with us as their parents. As married couples, they share in the preparation of meals. They plant and cultivate a garden. They make Christmas gifts by hand, applying arts and crafts they have learned and learned well. Out of sheer curiosity, they have learned several skills. Their clothing is appropriate but simple, casual, and comfortable. They are as likely to ride a bicycle to work as to drive a car. Increasing numbers of them, if married, are managing as a one-car instead of a two-car family. When they go on vacations their main solution of their need for housing is to camp or to stay with friends along the way. They tend to enjoy hiking, swimming, searching for food at the seaside, in streams, or in meadows and woodlands, where wild plants and berries can be found. If they do buy food, they usually prepare and cook it themselves over a campfire or stove.
Frankly, I admire their simplicity and the functional ways they have of making life pull their families and their friends together into a community rather than apart in isolation. As Dostoevsky again says: "True security is to be found in social solidarity rather than in isolated individual effort" (The Brothers Karamazov, p. 363). These younger persons reflect the wisdom of our elder son, Bill, when in 1959 we moved from a smaller house with one bath into a larger one with two baths. He had been uprooted from his friendship group in "the old neighborhood," as he called it. He was eleven and his chums meant much to him. He said: "I would rather have two friends than two baths!"
Some Simplification Disciplines
Cultivating Inner Serenity Instead of "Other-Directedness." Many years ago David Riesman, with others, wrote a book entitled The Lonely Crowd (Yale University Press, 1950). In it he spoke of the "inner-directed," who have a heritage of a clear sense of direction in life and who live according to self-chosen goals. He contrasted such persons with the "other-directed," those whose contemporaries or peers provide their sense of direction. Other-directed persons shift direction and change goals as they are swayed by the media and friends. In being exceptionally sensitive to the wishes and actions of others, they find life becoming increasingly complex. You can readily see that to be too literal about Riesman's different types of persons can become absurd. You do not want to be sensitive to doing things to please everybody with whom you come into contact. Yet you do not want to be self-centered and inconsiderate of everyone but yourself. This reduces the insight to absurdity.
This is not what Riesman, or I, would want to convey. Rather, my point is that your life becomes more simplified if you draw on the inexhaustible riches of the mind and teachings of Christ for your sense of direction in life rather than on the fads, fashions, and total approval of the style setters around you. No greed is quite as subtle and yet as all-consuming as the greed for everybody's approval. A reverse form of this is the greed for everybody's disapproval—both are other-directed. You and I will simplify our lives, what we do, how we do it, what we buy, wear, eat, drive, and enjoy when we are guided by the inner wisdom and balance of an austerity and simplicity we draw from Jesus of Nazareth. Our lives become complex when we are consumed by our greed for being like everybody else, following the latest advertising hype, and living life in hourly awareness of being conspicuously in the spotlight of other people's expectations.
Facing Rather than Retreating from Loneliness. I have spoken, and quoted Dostoevsky, about how greed isolates. Loneliness produces restlessness. Loneliness is another thief of sleep. You may escape loneliness by fretfully working more, making more money, buying more things. In your loneliness you may assuage the pain by going on a buying spree. Then you are in debt and you punish yourself for your extravagance by working more and resting less. Overwork is one way of running from your loneliness.
To simplify your life, turn and face your loneliness for what it is. Arnold Toynbee said that he was a confessed work addict and that the source of his work addiction was his fear of loneliness.
Carl Sandburg spoke most eloquently of loneliness in an interview with Ralph McGill in 1966. He and McGill were walking about Glassy Mountain, near Sandburg's home. He said to McGill: "I often walk here to be alone. Loneliness is an essential part of a man's life and sometimes he must seek it out. I sit here and I look out at the silent hills and I say, 'Who are you, Carl? Where are you going? What about yourself, Carl?' You know, one of the biggest jobs a person has is to learn how to live with loneliness. Too many persons allow loneliness to take them over. It is necessary to have within oneself the ability to use loneliness. Time is the coin of life. You spend it. Do not let others spend it for you."
When you keep pushing more and more work into the lonely spots of your life, you are ordinarily letting others spend time for you. Do it yourself and quit running from your loneliness. The rest you get will be healing.
Learning How to Get Along Without Things. My mother was an uneducated woman who worked in cotton mills from the time she was ten until she was seventy-two. She taught herself to read, write, and count, and she learned the oral tradition her mother—my grandmother—gave her and later gave me. She lived to be ninety-one years of age. Upon our visits back home, I was always impressed by the simplicity and ingenuity with which she lived. She could have done even better at it if she had not by brute poverty been forced into a life-long habit of borrowing money. She did this out of habit long after there was any necessity for it. Occasionally on my visits, I would suggest that I buy something for her that would make life more comfortable or pleasant. She refused, saying: "I'm all right. I'm used to doing without such things." She could say with the apostle Paul: "I have learned to find resources in myself whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be brought low, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have been thoroughly initiated into the human lot with all its ups and downs-fullness, plenty, hunger, and want. I have strength for anything through him who gives me power" (Phil. 4:11b–13a, NEB).
A good sense of humor about the vanity of greed taking away our rest and churning our spirits with restlessness is an antidote to the toxic powers of greed.
This wisdom brings back to me the story of our friend Portie Tipton. My wife and I spent a night in his home as his guests. About nine o'clock in the evening, as we sat before the open fire, he suddenly said: "Dr. Oates, are you and Mrs. Oates feeling well?" We both said that we felt quite well. He said: "Well, good. I'm not going to sit up with you. I'm going to bed. I only sit up with sick people!" Then he added: "If there is anything you can see that you need, it is yours. If you can't find what you need, call us and we will help you look for it. If we don't have it, we can teach you how to get along without it." Yet for you and me this is easier to say than to do.
We could have more time for leisure and the enrichment of life if we had someone to teach and encourage us to get along without half the stuff we think we need. But then we would have to learn how to use that leisure.

Perched on a peninsula jutting out into the River Plate, Montevideo's mix of old- and new-world charms has been captivating visitors for centuries.
The city's Ciudad Vieja (Old Town) is a throwback to the past, with narrow cobblestoned streets, historic buildings and atmospheric plazas. Across the mouth of the River Plate, pavement cafs are plentiful, particularly around the pedestrianised avenue Peatonal Sarand.

PHOTOS: Philly PrideDay celebrates silver anniversary
PrideDay, Philadelphia's annual LGBT parade and festival, held its silver anniversary on Sunday, marking the event's 25th year.
And participants had plenty to celebrate – many are calling 2013 a landmark year for LGBT rights.
Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island and Minnesota earlier this year legalized same-sex.
Locally, Mayor Michael Nutter signed into law a bill introduced by Councilman Jim Kenney that made Philadelphia the first U.S. city to grant tax credits to businesses that offer equally accessible health care to LGBT employees and their spouses.
A record 102 state legislators in May signed on as sponsors of bipartisan companion bills protecting Pennsylvanians from employment, housing and credit discrimination on the basis of gender identity, sexual expression or sexual orientation.
Organizers described this year's PrideDay as the biggest – and best – event of its kind to date, with more than 160 participating organizations and vendors.

Cycloc Bike Holder at AREA
We're ashamed (as San Francisco natives) to admit this, but we don't own a bike. However, we've started to second guess that choice because of this extremely cool bike and bike accessory holder we spotted at AREA in Jackson Square.
Although the $130 price tag is a bit steep, we still think this is a great solution to storing a bike. And we love that we could put all of our gear inside the cubby! Also available in other colors.
(We actually blogged the Cycloc long ago here, soon after it was first shown at ICFF.)

I have one - It only works well for bikes that have horizontal top tubes: Bikes with angled top tubes don't work so well (or not at all)
may is national bike month! get one!!!!
Regular-use rental bikes are coming soon to SF, for commitment-phobes like moi. :)
Is that a Jorg & Olif bike? Do they sell them there??
Still doesn't solve my problem...how do I prevent my bike's hardware from scratching up the wall? My bike parking wall is a mess of scratches from pedals and handlebars, but I'm not sure what the point of painting will be if it just happens again. Or was the initial paint job just too thin?
Doesnt' Ikea have something similar?
Forget the holder, I want that bike!
Those handlebars still get in the way.. turn your handlebars sideways with the press of a button... www.flipphandle.com

COLUMBUS, WI (WTAQ) - Authorities in Columbus are trying to determine how a small explosion and fire occurred at the American Packaging Corporation.
Firefighters were called around 12:30 p.m. Monday.
Officials said the building's sprinkler system had put out the fire. No one was hurt.
There was a report that somebody was missing, but the person was found outside a short time later.
Employees were evacuated for a time.
The Columbus packaging plant recently added 100,000 square feet at a cost of $17.5 million. The plant also had an explosion in 2009 which killed a 47-year-old worker.

Inner Spaces for Busy Moms
Accept Your Own Limitations
A lot of the stress we take on in our daily lives is self-imposed. By determining excessively high standards for ourselves, or for the people around us, we are setting ourselves up for frustration when we invariably fall short of our goals. Be realistic in your expectations!
Don't expect yourself to wash the car, mow the lawn, take care of the kids, stock up on a week's worth of groceries, cook three meals a day and pay the bills all in one day. You'll end up a nervous wreck. Though all of these are jobs that have to be done, try spreading them out over a manageable time frame and accept that you're doing the very best that you can within a given set of circumstances. Nobody has the right to expect more of you—not even you.
Delegate as many chores as possible, perhaps by involving family members and setting up a reward system linked to accomplishments. What's obvious to us may not be so obvious to our children. Take the time to spell out that help for mom around the house means you'll be more available to play and have fun!

LAWRENCEVILLE -- With summer's swelter just around the corner, the Gwinnett County Department of Fire and Emergency Services received a $5,000 grant to fund cooling rehabilitation equipment for firefighters, officials said this week.
The Leavitt Group partnered with Fireman's Fund Insurance Company to make the $5,000 grant available to the department. The funds have been used to purchase a portable shelter, cooling chairs, portable toilets, a misting fan and core cooling towels.
The equipment will help firefighters rehydrate and recharge when faced with extreme temperatures, said department spokesman Lt. Eric Eberly.
The grant was approved by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in July, and the equipment was purchased in late 2011. The equipment has been placed strategically around the county on units that will quickly respond to firefighters' needs, Eberly said.
