Eric Norelius traveled to the Minnesota territorial town of Red Wing in 1855. He planned to meet with groups of immigrant Swedes looking for a Lutheran minister to lead them. The twenty-one year-old churchman thus began a six-decade ministry that served the state's Swedish Lutheran population.
The September 1855 arrival of Eric Norelius encouraged Red Wing-area Swedish Lutherans. Immigrants in the area needed a minister. Norelius, born in Norrback, Sweden, in 1833, seemed a good fit. A few months earlier, Pastor Norelius had married Inga Peterson, a daughter of a Swedish settler he had met in Chicago. The young couple agreed to come to Minnesota where Eric would serve two congregations. One church was in Red Wing, the other in a settlement started by Hans Mattson that was later known as Vasa.
The Noreliuses made the Vasa area their home base. According to his journal, the congregation provided an eight by ten foot building to which they added a twelve by sixteen foot addition during the winter of 1855-56. The building would also be their church and school. Money was scarce. Norelius's first year salary at Vasa was one hundred dollars. He still managed to buy 160 acres in White Rock, close to Vasa.
Norelius also served Red Wing's Swedish Lutherans, but he soon had other calls. Settlers in "Swede Prairie" asked for help. Swede Prairie was the nickname for a swath of land southwest of Red Wing. It touched upon the towns of Vasa, Welch, Spring Garden, and Cannon Falls Township. During the 1850s, Pastor Norelius founded twelve Swedish Lutheran congregations in and around Goodhue County.
Life became a challenge for the Noreliuses. After the disastrous economic Panic of 1857, congregants managed to provide the minister only a tiny salary: seventy five dollars plus a barrel of beans, and few bushels of corn. Eric and Inga left Vasa and Red Wing in October 1858. Their Minnesota congregations were unable to pay him the promised salary and Norelius's debts grew after he started a Swedish language newspaper, Minnesota Posten, in November, 1857.
Norelius was gone for two years. Eric agreed to become editor of Hemlandet, Swedish-language newspaper in Chicago in January 1859. He did stay involved with the Lutheran church, however. The minister took part in an important Wisconsin meeting of Scandinavian pastors and laymen in June 1860. They worked to create a united Scandinavian Lutheran synod made up of Swedes and Norwegians. The assembly used the name "Augustana" for this new organization. Norelius suggested the title. The word showed the importance of the Augsburg Confession for those in the synod.
In October 1860 Norelius began work as a traveling missionary to Swedish settlements west of Minneapolis. He spent time Meeker, Kandiyohi, Carver, and McLeod counties. In 1861 his former churches in Red Wing and Vasa issued another call to their former pastor. He accepted and returned.
Eric Norelius did not limit himself to preaching and pastoral duties. He published the Minnesota Territory's first Swedish language newspaper, the biweekly Minnesota Posten, in 1857. Early in December 1862 he founded a school in Red Wing at the request of state Swedish Lutheran churchmen. He had thirty students by the following February. The roots of present-day Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter are found in this modest program. Norelius also established the Vasa Orphan's Home in 1865. He began writing books about Swedish Lutheran church history and its mission in 1867 while convalescing from illness.
In 1870 fellow church leaders elected him president of the Minnesota Conference, a division of the Augustana Synod, an affiliation of upper Midwest Lutheran Churches. Three years later Norelius was chosen president of the entire synod. He held that post for seven years. Lutheran churchmen brought him back as synod president in 1899 and kept him in office until 1911. His nineteen years as president were the most of any person holding the position.
In his 1901 report to Augustana congregations, President Norelius noted the synod's growth. Since 1876, their church group had grown from 273 congregations to about 900. Total membership was 200,000.
In 1912 the aging minister, his health failing, preached at Gustavus Adolphus College's fiftieth anniversary. He also spoke at the sixtieth anniversary of the Vasa congregation in June 1915.
Eric Norelius died on March 15, 1916.

Q: So, I was just wondering if you had any recommendations for good quality lotions and/or hand cremes. I wash my hands quite a bit and have had trouble finding a product that can stand up to numerous hand scrubbings. Any experience in this area?
A: Well T.G. I am like you and fanatic about keeping my hands clean. It is important to keep your hands hydrated so I would recommend applying lotion after every washing. Keep a lotion by your sink, in your bag, in your desk drawer and I always apply lotion at bedtime so that the cream can really get into my skin whilst I am sleeping.
There are a huge amount of creams and lotions on the market and it can be a little confusing. I actually have a couple of favourites that I can recommend:
Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hand & Nail Revitalizing Hand Lotion
This is a really fast absorbing cream that makes your hands hydrated and your nails stronger.
Contains keratin and vitamin E. Small size is perfect for your purse or bedside table.
Principessa Cattiva Diva
I absolutely love anything made by Principessa. Their silky hand cream is lovely and smells to die for. If you are looking for a perfumed hand cream then this is the perfect one for you.
Bliss High Intensity Hand Cream
This rich cream really softens and smooths your hands and cuticles. On the higher price range I enjoy this cream. It has a citrus fragrance that is quite fresh.
L'Occitane Lavender Hand Cream
A little pricey but pure luxury. I absolutely love the smell of lavender and if you do too then this is a great hand cream. Blends the nourishing benefits of Shea Butter with soothing A.O.C. lavender essential oil and rosemary extract. Also contains vitamin E.

BARCELONA, Feb. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ShowStoppers @ MWC 2014 -- OAXIS today announced: Still able to recall the vibrant InkCase at Computex 2013? After six months, Singapore's OAXIS brings in another masterpiece - InkCase Lite to the MWC 2014. The dual-screen is suitable for all types and phone models in the market which easily allows you to switch to this dual-screen anytime.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140223/NY69433)
InkCase has won the Design & Innovation Award and exhibited for the first time at Computex 2013, and was well received by the public. The first generation of InkCase was designed for iPhone 5/5S, Samsung Note 2 and S4. There was also a lot of feedback on whether there will be any products developed for Sony Xperia Z1, Samsung Note 3 and other models. We started to brainstorm on the possibilities to develop an InkCase that is compatible to all phones, hence the birth of InkCase Lite. The InkCase Lite is compatible to all types of phone models by just a change in the casing. Other than that, it can also be installed at the back of the phone, as well as the front, namely in any way to fulfill the requirements of various users.
According to OAXIS Development Director, Tim Li, InkCase is like a digital book reader that can be installed on the phone case. Users can transfer books from the phone to InkCase through OAXIS app – EpiReader, by using Bluetooth. Using another app – InkCase Photo, InkCase can also display and style your photo in your phone to show off your personality. Moreover, the latest InkCase app, InkCase Sports has taken InkCase to a higher level as a bike sports timer. At the moment, InkCase has many more functions yet to be explored, such as instant message reminder, discount coupons, QR Code, etc. OAXIS has opened up the SDK application platform for more fans and apps developers to explore and develop more exciting applications.
There is a touching story behind the development of InkCase. The origin of InkCase comes from a real life example. One of our company's directors will always change his phone casing of his loving yet mischievous son. This is costly and troublesome. InkCase was invented to meet his needs for a customized screen anytime, anyway he likes it.
The creative idea of InkCase derived from Singapore's OAXIS. OAXIS was established in 2010 in Singapore, and has branches in China and Malaysia. Being creative in the first place, the main aim of this product is to fulfill the need of aesthetic and address practical usage of different users. The products include digital book reader, power bank, woofer and tv transmitter. Since its establishment, OAXIS has won 25 awards in China, Taiwan and Germany, which are comprised of 22 product and 2 design golden awards.
Welcome to OAXIS 2014 MWC exhibition booth for a demonstration:
Date: February 24 – 27 (Monday to Thursday)
Address: Fira de Barcelona
Booth: 7K61,Hall 7

Get ready for another debate on whether payday loan stores should return to Pennsylvania.
State Sen. Pat Browne of Allentown said Friday he intends to introduce legislation in the next few weeks that would "redefine the debate" over access to short-term credit.
His proposal starts with what many people would consider payday loans, but Browne says his plan really "ends the practice of payday lending forever" by slowly moving people to traditional credit.
Browne, a Republican, told me he's been bothered by how consumer credit issues have been handled in the state. He said he's trying to give people a chance to build a credit history so they won't have to rely on short-term loans anymore.

"This legislation allows these families to start small and transition over time to safer, cheaper and longer term products," Browne wrote in a May 7 memo seeking co-sponsors for his bill.
Payday loans are small-dollar, short-term loans due on the borrower's next payday and usually repaid through an automatic bank draft or pre-written check. The loans aren't outlawed in Pennsylvania, but they aren't offered at storefronts here because state law caps interest rates on small loans at about 24 percent, too low to make them profitable.
Payday loans are despised by consumer protection groups. They say the costs, often triple digits when calculated as an annual percentage interest rate, are too high. Even worse, they argue, the loans are set up so borrowers can't repay them and still pay their other expenses, so people borrow again and again and get stuck in debt.
Opponents of payday loans told me they don't believe Browne's plan would be much different, as it still would allow costly loans and extended periods of debt. They are lining up to fight this bill, just as they fought legislation that failed last year.
"The basic precepts are the same," said Bill Harris of Bethlehem, president of the Pennsylvania Council of Chapters of the Military Officers Association of America.
Veterans groups fear the loans would hurt financially fragile older veterans living on fixed incomes and younger vets returning from war in the Middle East, possibly injured or with no job waiting for them, he said.
In a report this year, Pew Charitable Trusts found borrowers have unrealistic expectations about their ability to repay payday loans. Most can't, and are stuck in debt for five months.
The loans and similar products are facing increasing pressure from national regulators such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Browne has told me he, too, has concerns about how traditional payday loans work. He said that's why he structured his plan, which defines the loans as "micro-loans," to address those issues.
Loans would be made at 28 percent simple interest with a 5 percent application fee, and be limited to $1,000.
Loans must be paid off and not rolled into new loans. People who can't repay a loan would be offered an extended payment plan. A new loan could be taken after waiting one business day, though, which critics say still puts people back in debt just like a rollover.
Browne says his plan addresses that by capping the number of consecutive loans a person could take. After eight, they would be offered longer-term loans — first of 61-120 days, then of up to a year — to help them build a credit history. People who don't successfully complete eight loans and transition to longer-term products would be barred from borrowing for a time.
Al Bowman, executive director of the Pennsylvania Consumer Credit Association, which supports the plan, said state residents want access to short-term credit and already are using payday loans by crossing state lines or borrowing illegally online.
"So let's get them something safe, something they can benefit from," Bowman said.
His association recently surveyed Pennsylvania residents who traveled to Delaware and Ohio to borrow from payday loan stores and found 96 percent supported "a regulated short-term product" in Pennsylvania.
"Couldn't have done my wedding without it," a Delaware County man said on his survey form.

Should Florida allow guns on campus?by Opinion Staff
Florida state Sen. Greg Evers, R-Crestview, has filed legislation (SB 234) that lifts the state ban on carrying weapons on the state's college and university campuses.
Sen. Evers says allowing guns on campus, and another provision in the bill that would allow people in Florida with a concealed weapons permit to carry firearms in the open, would improve public safety.
Sen. Evers obviously sides with those who say guns on campus could have interrupted attacks like the killing spree almost four years ago at Virginia Tech.
Others, including academic leaders and police chiefs at Florida's universities, disagree.
Every state except Utah either bans guns on campus or leaves the decision up to individual schools.
There's a problem with the notion that armed citizens can serve as an effective supplement to police. Most simply aren't trained to properly use their weapons in a crisis. They might shoot the bad guy. They might shoot bystanders. Or, a guy with a gun on his hip might become enraged and use it since it's at hand, instead of having time to calm down.
Police training academies take six to nine months for entry level officers, including 80 hours of firearms training. Applicants for a Florida concealed weapons permit can get one with a class that lasts about three hours.
What do you think? Should the Florida Legislature require colleges and universities to allow guns on campus? Take our poll.

OK! (finally) My first download is, of course, the Grand Canyon. I did this from memory as I have been there many times. I was using a white ink pen for the first time but without much satisfaction. The dark gash is Bright Angel canyon, location of the well known Phantom Ranch lodge. Plateau Point sits directly beneath it and offers a breathtaking view of the Colorado River (seen as the green strip). I may have used some artistic license showing the river at the point from which this sketch was remembered, but I think it works anyway. It is done with black felt tip pen and color markers.

Military vets: MBA job recruiter's dream candidates?July 13, 2011: 10:13 AM ET
While the unemployment rate for recent military veterans is higher than the national average, recruiters from plum post-biz school gigs are actively courting many vets who opt for an MBA.
By Ethan Rouen, contributor
FORTUNE -- In their first year as Wharton MBA students, military veterans Aaron Perrine and Joe Kistler attended a recruiting event at Morgan Stanley with about 40 other vets enrolled at top business schools.
They didn't think the event could get any better when chairman of the board and former CEO John Mack joined them for breakfast, but then Mack announced that he had a special guest who would like to talk to the students. In walked General Stanley McChrystal.
"Everyone is on their feet in half a second," says Perrine, 33, who is working as a summer associate at McKinsey. "It showed that these employers are serious. They are trying to get veterans in the door early."
For veterans in top tier business schools, this experience is not unique. Overall, the unemployment rate for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was 11.5% in 2010, higher than the national overage, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But that statistic belies the fact that, for the first time in several generations, employers are seeing an increase in young applicants who know how to handle pressure and have the kind of management experience it often takes decades to acquire.
"We have plenty of veterans who are 27 who have had 100 direct reports in a combat situation," says Perrine, a former Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Nobody coming from the private sector has had that kind of experience, and especially in those high pressure situations."
In the last few years, many of the most desirable employers in banking, consulting and technology have gone out of their way to attract these servicemen and women, according to campus veterans organizations and some employers, inviting them to celebrity-packed recruiting events, hosting veterans-only events on campus, and creating affinity groups that allow employees who served in the military to reach out to prospectives.
"Military service builds a wide range of professional leadership skills that we value at Morgan Stanley," says Pen Pendleton, a spokesman for the company. "By recruiting veterans throughout the firm, we strengthen the culture and reinforce our commitment to fostering leadership, collaboration, and risk management skills."
The results, it seems, have been impressive, according to veterans clubs at some business schools. Rob Carpio, 29, a West Point graduate who served in the Army as an air defense artillery officer, was the co-president of the Armed Forces Club at Harvard Business School when he graduated in May. Of the 32 graduating members of the club, two were in active duty in the military, 28 had accepted employment offers by graduation, and one was planning to start his own business.
Carpio, who starts work this month at a management consulting firm, says demand for access to the members of his club continues to grow, as do the number of business sectors that want to recruit veterans with business skills. The club's annual career fair attracts between 20 and 30 companies hoping to lure veterans.
"These individuals have already been responsible for big teams and millions of dollars of equipment, doing the most high-impact, dangerous missions you could ever ask for," Carpio says. "There's a lot there in terms of maturity and focus."
While the leadership skills, the ability to handle pressure, and the proven experience working long hours are evident in these veterans, transition to civilian life comes with numerous roadblocks.
Carpio, who is a co-founder of MilitarytoBusiness (See: Do Veterans Need Unique Admit Advice?), a consulting firm that helps veterans make the transition to civilian careers and top law and business schools, says that veterans often find it difficult to discover value in their new lives. Many people join the armed forces to serve a cause they consider greater than themselves. Finding meaning in private sector work is not always as easy for these veterans.
Also, employers often express concerns about veterans' ability to lead outside of the military rank structure, a scenario where position is literally worn on the sleeve.
"My response is always, 'I've never led with my rank,'" Carpio says. "'I derive my power and authority not from my rank but from the respect I have for my subordinates and the respect they have for me.'"
But the biggest challenge in entering the private sector, especially fields like banking, technology and consulting, is getting up to speed on the language and the day-to-day skills that are unique to any industry.
Coming out of MBA programs, veterans are competing with people who have already worked in these fields. Affinity groups and military networks within organizations have certainly helped to overcome this barrier, as have veterans' clubs at schools, but it doesn't make this barrier disappear.
At McKinsey, which says it has made a concerted effort to recruit veterans, employees who have served in the armed forces spend nights and weekends working with veterans who are applying for positions with the firm, helping them prepare for case interviews and the application process, Perrine says.
Kistler, 29, who served two tours in Iraq as a marine infantry officer, says the clubs at schools help veterans craft their interview stories so they can explain in compelling language why they want to enter a new industry. Relying on the experience of alumni and second-year students, club members also receive help in shaping their resumes to explain exactly why their combat skills will be so valuable to potential employers.
Still, the most useful experience veterans develop outside the military is the education they receive in class.
"One of the biggest challenges is developing analytical experience and business skills," says Kistler, who is working as a summer associate in the investment banking division at Morgan Stanley (MS). "During recruiting, you need to show bankers you have those capabilities and can further develop them. That was one of the primary reasons I came to Wharton."

Payday Loans For Australians
Payday loans aren't something that people generally want to get, but when push comes to shove, a payday loan is a better option than an paying overdraft fees, and other consequences that come with overdrawing on a bank account. Though payday loans for Australians aren't as regulated as they are in other countries, there is more regulation today over them than there has been in the past. For example, payday loans in Queensland and New South Wales are capped at a 48% interest rate. With the ability to apply online, get an instant response, and get cash in your account overnight, if need to have cash fast and can't wait until pay day, a payday loan could be the way to go.
Payday Loans Are About Short Term Cash
The online application process is quite easy if you need a payday loan. You simply fill out your basic information, include information about your income, and you're literally ready to go. Though many payday loan institutions will check your credit history during the application process, most applications are approved for these short-term cash loans. Don't be surprised about warnings regarding gambling addiction – it's just a law that to discourage people from taking out short-term loans in order to gamble with the money.
Approvals Are Generally Within 3-4 Minutes
If you're approved for a loan, you will receive an e-mail, an SMS text, or sometimes a phone call with the proposed terms of your payday loan. In this communication you'll be given a security code. This generally happens within minutes of submitting your application online. You are then given the opportunity to review the terms and conditions of the payday loan you are considering. Sometimes there are different options for you to decide upon. You simply decide if you want the payday loan and agree to the repayment terms. If you do, you enter in your personalized security code. If not, you simply leave the website.
Cash Appears In Your Account Overnight!
Once you've approved the payday loans that you want, the lender must verify your information to insure that it is correct. This verification process almost always takes one business day to complete, which is why the transfer of funds directly into your bank account happens overnight. Even though the entire process happens online, the lender is responsible for insuring that you are who you say you are and that you really are applying for payday loans. Once verified, you get the fast cash you need! Payday loans are just like any other credit that is lent to you – failure to abide by the repayment terms can negatively impact your credit score.
Are Payday Loans Right For You?
Though expensive from an interest standpoint, online payday loans are an easy way to make sure you've got the cash on hand that you need to get those emergency bills paid. If you need fast cash by tomorrow, then be sure to apply online today for the payday loan that is right for you.

Stonehenge's 'Furry Friends' Series Returns with BARK BASH WITH SANTA, 12/10
The holiday season is in full swing and while the kids are lining up to sit on Santa's lap, Stonehenge is opening its doors to the pups who want to be in on the holiday cheer. Stonehenge, well known for their pet-friendly, luxury residential buildings around NYC, have announced "Bark Bash with Santa", the second event in their popular "Furry Friends" series.
Stonehenge kicked off their "Furry Friends" series last September with a fashion-forward "Furry Friends on the Runway" show, where they teamed up with high-end, pet apparel line ROYAL ANIMALS/ ROYAL POOCH. This event will spread some holiday cheer by welcoming friends and neighbors to bring along their pooch to a holiday "Bark Bash with Santa" party on Monday, December 10 from 4-8pm at an unoccupied Stonehenge retail space on 2nd Avenue between 60th and 61st Street. Pets will get to pose with Santa Claus for professional holiday portraits and owners can mingle with other NYC pet-lovers. Free gifts will be provided courtesy of Unleashed by Petco and Cesar's Way magazine.
This special holiday "Bark Bash with Santa" promises to be an exciting and memorable evening for animal-lovers and their pets, and will also help to drive awareness about animals in need. Any and all donations collected at the door will go directly to the Animal Haven Shelter, a nonprofit organization that finds homes for abandoned cats and dogs throughout the Tri-State area and provides behavior intervention when needed to improve chances of adoption.
The "Furry Friends" community is led by Stonehenge's long-time resident, Susan Traub, owner of ROYAL ANIMALS/ROYAL POOCH. Stonehenge responded to Susan's passion for pet awareness and education by launching this initiative, and now looks to Susan as the ambassador for all interested participants. Susan's knowledge of animals, connection to the pet community, and caring qualities have made her the perfect addition to the Stonehenge team as its founding "Furry Friends" partner. Susan will be selling Royal Pooch apparel at the event and donating a percentage of the proceeds to Animal Haven Shelter.
"As a pet owner and animal lover, I am not only part of the industry but keenly aware of the real life needs connected to owning a pet in New York City," said Susan Traub. "I am thrilled to partner with Stonehenge as we introduce social events, lectures and training opportunities to their residents. It is my goal to help Stonehenge succeed as a pet-friendly, New York City landlord."
"We at Stonehenge are excited to continue our partnership with ROYAL ANIMALS/ ROYAL POOCH and Unleashed by Petco for the 'Bark Bash with Santa' party, the second event in our popular 'Furry Friends' series," said Michael Stern, Creative Director at Stonehenge. "Our holiday 'Bark Bash with Santa' will be a great evening dedicated to dog-loving, holiday cheer and opening up opportunities to give back to our furry friends through important nonprofits such as the Animal Haven Shelter."
*Entry is free. RSVP at http://www.stonehengenyc.com/blog/barkbash. People of all ages and friendly dogs of all breeds are welcome to attend.

My first thought was Final Adventure, the TAR South Korean version, but I have my doubts that Andrew Wolff would be a part of that. Some research showed that Andrew Wolff was the winner of the Mr. Philippines 2012 pageant and 1st runner up in the Mr. World 2012 contest. He also is a member of the 2013 Philippines Volcanoes World Cup Sevens Rugby team. Still, the Philippines is a likely place for Final Adventure to visit since they are staying fairly close to South Korea. The tweets mention Gumaca, which is Quezon province. Gumaca was founded in 1582 and has a lot of Spanish Colonial buildings. It does seem like the sort of place an Amazing Race version would visit. The question is which one?I thought Chuchu Yamaha could be a name, but a search didn't bring up any minor celebrities with that name.

The Clark Receives $337,000 Grant from Mellon Foundation
For Immediate Release
February 22, 2005
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute has received $337,000 from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation of New York, N.Y. The grant, for use over four years, will support activities to strengthen scholarship in visual studies through the Clark's Research and Academic Program.
"This generous grant from the distinguished Mellon Foundation is a great honor for our Research and Academic Program as the Fellows initiative enters its fifth year," said Michael Conforti, director of the Clark. "We are gratified that the Mellon Foundation has recognized the level of research, scholarship, and vigorous debate afforded by the special environment of the Clark and the Williamstown community. These qualities have distinguished the Research and Academic Program and made it one of the most important centers for advanced research in the visual arts in the United States."
"These funds will help us to broaden and enrich the scope of our program, and to extend its global reach," said Michael Ann Holly, director of the Research and Academic Program. "With this support, we will engage new, international partners in joint programs, develop new invitational colloquia, and further engage museum professionals in our growing and dynamic program."
In addition to general program enhancement, the Mellon funds will support initiatives in three areas. The Clark will work toward greater geographic and cultural diversity by engaging an international partner in Latin America or Europe for joint programs. The Clark will develop a quartet of invitational colloquia as a model approach to collecting perspectives about the role of research and its publication. Finally, the Clark will focus on adapting Clark Fellowships to encourage greater participation from museum curators and other museum professionals. Most of the 120 Clark Fellows to date have been from academic institutions, and interaction between the academy and the museum community is one of the goals of the program.
In addition to these initiatives, the Clark supports a wide range of scholarly programs. The Clark is one of the few major institutions in the United States that serves as both a public art museum and a leading international research and academic center supported by a distinguished art library. The Clark is further distinguished by its international fellowship program and regular conferences, symposia, and colloquia. Together with Williams College, the Clark jointly sponsors one of the nation's leading M.A. programs in art history. Its Fellows and Conference programs draw university and museum professionals from around the world.
The Clark's library is one of the nation's premier resources for the study of European and American art. Along with 200,000 printed volumes, the library's holdings also include many rare illustrated books, bound periodicals, auction sales catalogues, a large study collection of photographs and reproductions of works of art, as well as 135,000 slides.
The Clark/Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art is one of the leading masters degree programs in the world. It has produced more than 300 graduates who have taken their place as leaders in museums and the scholarly community.
Clark Fellowships are awarded to national and international scholars, critics, and museum professionals to work on projects that extend and enhance the understanding of the visual arts and their role in culture. Fellows appointed for the 2004-2005 academic year include Stephen Bann of the University of Bristol, David Carrier of Case Western Reserve University, Michael Clarke of the National Gallery of Scotland, and Susan Dackerman, formerly of the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Clark Conferences provide an international forum for the discussion of issues raised by the study, presentation, and exploration of art. At the next Conference, "Architecture Between Spectacle and Use," to be held in April 2005, architects, critics, and historians of art and architecture will debate and explore the relationship between architecture and society. The proceedings of Clark Conferences are published as Clark Studies in the Visual Arts in partnership with Yale University Press.
The annual Clark/Getty Workshops explore contemporary cultural concerns and their effects on the practice of art history from a number of different points of view, meeting in Williamstown and at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. This year's topic is "Art History and the Moving Image."
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation currently makes grants in five core program areas: higher education, museums and art conservation, performing arts, conservation and the environment, and public affairs.
Gifts recently received by the Clark include a $25,000 grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc., of Houston, and a one of $7500 from the Graham Foundation of Chicago, in support of the 2005 Clark Conference, "Architecture Between Spectacle and Use."

RICHMOND, Virginia (AP)— Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says education reforms that have produced results in his state can also work in Virginia.
Jindal helped promote Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's education reform package at a news conference Friday in Richmond. That package includes bills to grade public schools on an A-to-F scale, and to allow the state to take over chronically failing schools.
Louisiana implemented both reforms years ago. Jindal says they've been successful. He says the percentage of failing schools in New Orleans has been cut from 77 percent to 29 percent in a little over seven years.
The two bills backed by McDonnell are making their way through the General Assembly, but it hasn't been easy. Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling cast a tie-breaking vote on them in the Senate earlier this week.

The Monroe Police Department said in a press release that the dead man found in a transfer station in Monroe on Tuesday was Raul Alayon, 60, an immigrant from Uruguay. The Walton Tribune is reporting that he had made his home in Loganville. According to the press release, Alayon died of blunt force trauma to his entire body.
A Monroe Public Works employee is reported to have found the body in the transfer station trailer just before 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning. The scene was secured and an investigation conducted by detectives from the Monroe PD and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Officials said that the transfer station is the hub for many jurisdictions so it is likely that the murder took place outside of Monroe. The investigation has now been taken over by the GBI.

So, I.R.O.K. – otherwise known as The Intergalactic Republic Of Kongo – are a "violent psychotropic afro-punk" outfit. We're not really sure what that means, but it's on their Facebook, and no one ever tells lies on the internet, so it must be true. They just sent us a short video they made with the filmmaker Jose Otero of their recent Moroccan tour.
The film features them playing strange shows in places you've never heard of, like on beaches in Mirleft, a local theatre in some place called Tiznet, and the local town square in the medieval village of Ain Ouled Jarrar. Tottenham it isn't.

The State of Privacy & Data Security Compliance
With the plethora of new privacy and data security regulations, we believe it is time to ask whether regulations help or hinder an organization's ability not only to protect sensitive and confidential information assets, but to be competitive in the global marketplace. Further, how difficult is it to be in compliance, who is the typical person or functional leader accountable for compliance? What is the value to the organisation? Finally, what differences (if any) exist in security practices between compliant and non-compliant organisations?

LETTER FROM CAIRO about the Muslim Brotherhood and the direction in which it might be leading Egypt. During the past year, the Muslim Brotherhood has been able to win elections without confronting a central weakness: the immense distrust that it inspires among many powerful elements of Egyptian society. Such sentiments run particularly deep in the police and the Army, which have a long history of animosity toward the Brotherhood. The organization was founded by Hassan al-Banna, a devout schoolteacher, and it was dedicated to creating a more Islamic society that would topple Egypt's colonial overlords and spark a religious renaissance across the Middle East. In the nineteen-forties, the Brotherhood sponsored a military battalion, which fought Jewish settlers in Palestine. Members also carried out a series of attacks against Egyptian officials who were complicit in British rule, including the assassination of the Prime Minister, in 1948. This act and other bombings were repudiated by al-Banna, who said of the terrorists, "They are neither Brothers, nor are they Muslims." The Brotherhood eventually abandoned its military activities and adopted a policy of nonviolence in Egypt. But the organization never shook the stigma of those early acts, and it was banned in 1954, which resulted in a culture of secrecy. A pattern emerged of former Brotherhood members becoming terrorists. Each of the country's military rulers, from Gamal Abdel Nasser to Sadat to Mubarak, responded to the Brotherhood with treatment that seemed to vacillate between two polar viewpoints: at times, the Brothers were imprisoned and tortured; at other times, they were allowed to participate in some limited form of politics, as a kind of pressure valve. Over time, this schizophrenic strategy helped create an organization that was traumatized and isolated, but more experienced in politics than any other group that survived the revolution. They knew how to run election campaigns, and years of effective charity work had taught them how to organize at the grassroots level. By the time Mohamed Morsi, who was for a long time a leading figure in the Brotherhood, ran for President, the popularity of the Brotherhood had started to decline. Morsi's victory left the Brotherhood in a precarious position. It controlled the Presidency and the assembly that was charged with drafting Egypt's new constitution, but it had few supporters in the judicial system and most ministries. The organization remained illegal—to this day, the Muslim Brotherhood has not been registered in Egypt. There is no official presence in the police or the military. In both these institutions, any officer or enlisted man who is discovered to be a member of the Brotherhood will be dismissed. Discusses the Brotherhood's relationship with the police and military. Describes incidents in which mobs have destroyed offices belonging to the Brotherhood, including its national headquarters. Describes the role the Brotherhood played in the drafting of the Egyptian constitution, and the objections some observers and participants have to the document that resulted; describes the various levels of support for the Brotherhood among rural and urban voters, as well as the American government's recent attitudes toward the group. Writer observes a protest outside of the Egyptian presidential palace, and describes the way in which those protests have evolved since the beginning of the revolution. Since 2011, the participants have become so experienced that the revolution is essentially portable. It's like a kit: all the pieces can be packed up and reassembled anywhere in the city at a moment's notice. Young activist groups always appear with their flags, and another mainstay is the Ultras, hard-core soccer fans who beat drums and sing songs. Invariably, a poet shows up to declaim angry verses. Writer describes several conversations between protesters and soldiers, including one exchange between a revolutionary in his early twenties and a soldier sitting in the cockpit of a tank, with the hatch open.

Special Education
Special Education Office
304 Recitation Hall
West Chester, PA 19383
Call: 610-436-2579
Special education as a discipline has continued to experience exciting growth within the education field, and West Chester University has continually exited highly desired special education teachers. Our graduates have been extremely successful in securing employment across a variety of school and agency settings where individuals with disabilities may be served. Our special education faculty all bring significant experience in direct service to infants, children, young adults, and adults with disabilities to the university classroom, providing a rich context within which to prepare future teachers.
On this site, you will find special education programs at the undergraduate level and at the graduate level (the latter encompassing post-baccalaureate certification and master's programs of study). Please take a moment to find the information relevant to your desired course of study. In response to certification changes established in 2008 by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, corresponding changes in curricula have occurred in the entire Teacher Education program at West Chester University, and as a result have aligned programs with new "highly qualified teacher" language in the law. This has allowed us in the special education discipline to partner with even more departments across campus in the development of dual undergraduate major courses of study that will result in certifications in both special education and the respective general education counterpart programs...again continuing to place our exiting students in highly marketable employment status. Students not wishing to be certified in special education may still complete a course of study in another education major while completing a minor in special education; this combination would result in certification in the education major area only, but would offer critical information in teaching students with disabilities who are served to large extents in general education classrooms. For further information about the undergraduate programs, please contact Dr. Donna Wandry at (610) 436–2579 or email@example.com.
At the graduate level, The Department of Special Education at West Chester University is continually growing its capacity to provide both post-baccalaureate certification and Master's of Education programs by offering the same quality education across increasing venues. To that end, students have a choice in both programs between traditional (face-to-face) courses on the West Chester University campus, fully online courses, and blended (combination of traditional and online) courses at the new PASSHE Philadelphia Multi-University Center in Center City. As with the undergraduate program, graduate program completers continue to be productive, energized, highly qualified practitioners held in high regard in their respective settings. Please also take a minute to visit the information about our two graduate level interdisciplinary, empirically–based certificates, in Universal Design for Learning/Assistive Technology (online format) and in Autism Studies (traditional format). These 18–credit post-baccalaureate certificate programs also may be used to fulfill requirements for areas of concentration within the Master's degree. For more information on any of these graduate programs, contact Dr. Vicki McGinley, Graduate Coordinator, at (610) 436–1060 or email@example.com.
Thank you for visiting our site! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us!

ACWORTH, GA -- An Acworth, Georgia family is waiting to learn if they'll be able to return to their home after a car plowed straight through the building.
The speeding car hit one side of the home and flew out of the other.
Authorities said the driver of the car had a number of cuts and scrapes, and a possible broken or dislocated hip.
The driver was transported to Kennestone Hospital in Marietta where he was listed in stable but critical condition.
The owner of the house, Gordon McDowell, said no one was home at the time of the accident but his two dogs.
They were in the garage and escaped without a scratch. One of the dogs, Dixie, ran away, frightened.
She found her way home after about five hours. The house has been cordoned off by firefighters due the instability of the structure of the building.
The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office is investigating the accident.
A spokesman for the Sheriff's Office said Monday evening that there were no indications at the scene that alcohol or drugs were factors in the incident, and that there was no indication that the collision was intentional.

Former Today Show host Ann Curry has sparked a movement through Twitter called #26acts, in part to bring about something positive from tragedy.
In honor of the 20 children and 6 adults brutally murdered on Friday, Dec. 14, in Newtown, Conn., she is asking that people commit 26 acts of kindness.
People have responded in heartwarming, inspiring ways. After a random act of kindness, they are tweeting back to Ann what they have done.
Here are a few posted so far, with more coming in every few minutes:
"Money is tight, but purchasing Christmas gifts for a 14y/o girl in India we have known for 8yrs. She deserves joy. #20Acts#26Acts"
"Sent Christmas card to a sailor at boot camp who won't be home for the holiday. In honor of 6yo #AllisonWyatt"
"Donated to my local food bank. This donation helps feed 30 people, many of them kids."
"I bought Starbucks for the man behind me in line. I'm a teacher. He told me to stay strong as I cried."
"Saw a homeless couple sleeping in the parking lot...left them breakfast and a $20 gift card."
Will you join the movement? If you're on Twitter, use the hashtag #26acts or #20acts, plus @SnellvillePatch.

The board interviewed Lambert last week.
Board chairman William Cleino said the members will be negotiating the salary for the position with Lambert. They should have the details worked out by the next meeting on Sept. 19, he said.
The board is charged with managing EMS and the Cleburne County Nursing Home. Lambert, a former board member, took on the task of reorganizing the service in January, when the board was considering hiring an outside company to manage it. In February, Lambert volunteered as interim director after former director Keith Roberts resigned.
Since that time, Lambert has created policies to help put the service on steadier financial ground, including instituting a minimum $35 charge for calls even if the client declines to go to the hospital and hiring a billing company to try to improve billing and collections.
In July, Lambert resigned from the board and asked it to hire a permanent director, offering his services as a paid part-time director. The board advertised for the position, but Lambert was the only applicant.
In other business the board members:
— Unanimously approved a $450,000 budget with $89,050 earmarked to go into reserves. The budget includes a $212,000 contribution to the EMS budget, $18,000 to Cleburne County Health Department and $12,500 to Cleburne County Mental Health. According to the budget, the Cleburne County Nursing Home didn't request a contribution this year. Other expenses include $12,000 for insurance, $2,000 for the annual audit and $1,200 for legal work. The board gets its money from a 4-mill property tax that is collected to support EMS and the nursing home.
— Received thanks from East Central Alabama United Cerebral Palsy representatives Linda Johns and Tammy Saxon for a $500 donation from the board.
— Voted to limit further donations to charitable organizations to those serving Cleburne County residents and to cap donations at $500.

3003 By Pass Rd, Newcastle, OK | Directions 7306535.290574 -97.605082
M-F 8am-5pm
DO not do business with these people!!!!!! Stay far away!!! Room mate called them to come check out her HVAC. 30 min later , & $188 later they were gone and still not cooling! I am a Carrier dealer and installer, & license so1, I know 30 min is not going to fix the problem if ( they pull the system down, weigh the existing freon in the system2 they have no idea what the suction or discharge pressure were and 3, $100 for 1 lb of R22 freon???? NO it is not as we order 100s of lbs a week. $21 a lbs people so do not be fooled by these thieves( I understand if you charge a little more over cost but $100 = thieves!!. So she calls them to come look at her a/c unit, they told her that they added 1lb of r22 to the system, and if that didnt work, than maybe the compressor"MAYBE"!!?
What kind of business tells you maybe and still charges you $188 for 30 min of nothing Lacey Mechanical!
Well anyway easy fix if you look at the evap and clean the coils out !!
But yet they added 1lb of r22 and said the compressor maybe bad.
Look at all the recent reviews on them!! Bad news..........
IMHO....Lacey = Thieves – I called Lacey Mechanical to come out and check my HVAC system because it had quit working. They were early (which was good), but the technician did not seem very knowledgeable. He seemed in a hurry to get out of there (I think because he didn't know what was wrong). He told me that my 6 year old furnace had a crack in the heat exchanger and that I needed to replace my whole furnace at a cost of $3,500.00. He also told me that I only had a 5 year warranty on my equipment (which is not true, I have a 10 year warranty).
Needless to say I got a second opinion and it was a bad limit, which cost under $100.00.
I will never call Lacey again.
Upsell. – called Lacey to find why aircond not working. They said it would be $500 to do leak inspection and $7500 to replace
Unit. Called Silvernail for second opinion. He found small leak and fixed leak in 30 minutes. Used to use Lacey in past but last few service calls have been attempts to upsell. Will not use again.
Pathetic!!!! – One of Laceys Techs came to our house to check out our AC unit. Said it would cost $400.00 just to tear into it and see what was wrong!! When asked what it would cost to change out the existing 4 ton unit he quoted me a price of $7,995.00. DO I HAVE SUCKER ON MY FOREHEAD LACEY?? Had another company come out, he installed the same unit, changed out the coil inside the house all for $3500.00, with a great warranty and service commitment!! NO THANKS LACEY.. FIND ANOTHER SUCKER!!!!!
plumbing and HVAC – asked them to come out and inspect a building I'm going to rent and the 'inspection' turned out to be a sales pitch - the 'inspection' was quick and superficial. 3 weeks later I'm still waiting for one of the 2 reports. Complaining to management didn't work - made to feel like it was my fault. 5 year customer of Lacey Mechanical - NOT ANY MORE!
Great Job!! – They were here when they said they would be, they got the job done in less time than estimated. Took time to explain the system to us. All around good company!!
wouldnt use again – will bill you for things they didnt do right in the first place and threaten to file liens on you before you recieve an invoice.

San Bernardino, Calif., is eligible for bankruptcy protection, a federal judge said on Wednesday, in a "tentative ruling" ahead of full court arguments later in the day.
Judge Meredith Jury of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, said the city of 210,000, located 60 miles east of Los Angeles, was eligible for bankruptcy protection "as a matter of law based on incontrovertible facts."
The tentative ruling came despite objections by the California Public Employees' Retirement System, or Calpers. The $260 billion pension fund is the city's biggest creditor.
San Bernardino filed for bankruptcy protection one year ago.
If the jury affirms the ruling, it would clear the way for the city to negotiate with its creditors and produce a final bankruptcy plan on which the judge will ultimately have to rule.
(Read more: US bankruptcy court to shed light on Detroit case timeline)
The ruling also sets up a high-stakes battle between Calpers and other creditors, including Wall Street bondholders and insurers, over how they will be treated in the bankruptcy.
The preliminary ruling follows a similar judgment for the city of Stockton, California, which was found eligible for bankruptcy protection in April.
Judge Jury said after her preliminary ruling that she would hear arguments from the parties, including Calpers, but it is considered unlikely that the judge will change her mind after having made clear her thinking.
"I don't think anyone in this courtroom seriously thought the city was anything but insolvent," Jury said. A city must be insolvent and have proof to have negotiated in good faith with creditors to be eligible for Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy.
In an unusual move, Jury did not hold a full trial to determine eligibility. Instead, because of long delays in the case, she invited the city to apply for summary judgment to expedite the proceedings.
(Read more: Detroit bankruptcy case could bring unwanted change in munis)
San Bernardino filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection last August, citing a $46 million deficit and arguing that it had effectively run out of cash to meet its daily obligations. At the time, the mayor said the city was overwhelmed by pension debt.
Calpers argues that it should not be treated like other creditors and must be paid in full because of California state law. Bondholders argue that federal bankruptcy law trumps state statutes and say Calpers should be forced to fight with other creditors over how much they are paid under an exit plan.
The issue, which is also likely to be central in the bankruptcy cases of Stockton and Detroit, could reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
In an unprecedented move, San Bernardino stopped paying its $1.2 million bimonthly employer payments to Calpers for a year after declaring bankruptcy, the first California city to halt payments to America's biggest public pension system.
It resumed paying Calpers last month but continues to renege on payments to other creditors, including holders of $50 million in pension obligation bonds.
The judge said the one creditor who wanted her to dismiss the bankruptcy was Calpers. But she said: "If Calpers gets all the money they want, under what they say is their statutory right, who isn't going to get paid? All the employees? How is that going to help Calpers?"
The case is In re San Bernardino, 12-bk-28006, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California (Riverside).
