Intrinsically safe mobile smartphone: Airo Wireless A25is
The Airo Wireless A25is cell phone, smartphone, and personal digital assistance (PDA) is ruggedized and intrinsically safe.
The A25is cell phone, smartphone, and personal digital assistance (PDA) is ruggedized and intrinsically safe, certified under the North American UL 913 standard, with European ATEX certification underway, according to Airo Wireless.
Cell phones, smart phones, PDA's and other hand held devices can be ignition sources for explosives. An intrinsically safe cell phone is designed so it will not ignite explosives. Airo Wireless says, "Not only is it thoroughly ruggedized, the A25is is also inert. With an Intrinsically Safe rating similar in achievement to its ruggedized pedigree, the A25is is about as safe as you can get for explosive hazardous environments."
The company says every Airo handset "has been independently tested and conforms to the International Electronic Commission highest rating (IP67), and has been independently tested and conforms to Military Standard 810-F & G for drops, shocks and vibrations."
Operating system for the phone is Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0/6.1 Professional; it uses an Intel XScal PXA270, 416 MHz processor. Networks are GSM 850, 900, 1800, and 1900. Display is 240 x 320 pixels. For other specifications, see www.airowireless.com/docs/A25isSpecs.pdf
Airo Wireless says intrinsically safe (IS) is a protection certification for safe operation with electronic equipment in explosive atmospheres. The concept was developed for safe operation of process control instrumentation in hazardous areas, particularly around petrochemicals. A device termed "intrinsically safe" is designed and certified to eliminate or encapsulate any components that produce sparks or which could generate enough heat to cause an ignition in areas with flammable gas, dust, or fuel.

All Dumbbell Sets, Singles and Dumbbell Pairs Ship Free!
Dumbbells exercise routines have been around since we first started lifting weights to change our physique. Having a good set of dumbbells in your gym can really open up your workouts to new exercises that simply cannot be performed without dumbbells. At Muscles and Curves we carry a broad selection of brand names and types of dumbbells from solid steel, rubber encased, pro style, hex dumbbells, urethane coated and chrome dumbbells. And the price you see is the price you pay because all items ship free!
When choosing a type and style of dumbbell or dumbbell set to buy, you mainly need to consider the environment in which your dumbbells will be used and stored. Higher end pro-style dumbbells tend to be more compact and space saving, while cheaper hex dumbbells are some of the larger and bulkier types. If space is a real issue then you can look at buying a pair of adjustable dumbbells as these can be extremely convenient for smaller home gyms and even travel.
Since dumbbell weights are all made of some type of metal, if your gym is exposed to the elements or not fully climate controlled then you will need to look at a style of dumbbell that will not be damaged by the elements, such as rubber encased, urethane coated and powder coated dumbbells. These weights would not be as susceptible to the elements and slow damage it can cause such as developing rust spots.

Transitional justice and peacebuilding - ToT [PTP.2013.07F]
Продолжительность мероприятия:

Event focal point Contact Number:
Дополнительная информация:
О мероприятии
Based on the concept developed by the Chairman of the PTP Advisory Board, Mr. Jean Marie Guéhenno, for "Enhancing the Capacity of African Peacekeeping Training Institutions", prefaced by Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, UNITAR PTP has developed a Training of Trainers (ToT) programme. UNITAR delivers the courses, in collaboration with subject matter experts and partner institutions within the premises of African peacekeeping training institutions.
Задачи мероприятия
The expected outcome of the Training of Trainers initiative is the development of confident, competent trainers with the skills to prepare and implement a training programme in a specific area. Being a refresher course, the training will focus on experience sharing, discussion of challenges and lessons learnt in designing, delivering and evaluating training.
Задачи мероприятия
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Define the role of a trainer in various training situations;
- Discuss the principles of adult learning;
- Describe the main steps of the training cycle;
- Apply skills to facilitate a range of interactive methodologies used in adult learning.
Содержание и структура
The course is taking place in the course of two days, focussing on the following topics: the role of the trainer, principles of adult learning, the elements of training cycle and various participatory learning methods.
The course is based on the synergy of theory and practice. The presentation of key concepts, theories and tools are closely linked with interactive exercises. The course emphasizes using participatory methods (including: interactive presentations, pair- and group work, role plays, Fishbowl, World café, brainstorming, value voting, energizers, etc.) This way, participants do not only learn various concepts but they also get familiar with many different methods they can use.
In addition, there are activities where participants have the opportunity to individually reflect. Since it is a meta-course, there is time allocated at the end of certain sessions to reflect on what happened, how the training was delivered, why it was done so, what could have been done better or differently.
Целевая аудитория
As being a private event, participants will be selected by the Rwanda Peace Academy, based on their training experience and training activities related to the academy. Participants are expected to act as multiplyers after the training event.

Continuing our week-long feature outlining 15 classic games or franchises we think could make it in the modern or future era, we have three more for your revival consideration.
Yesterday we brought you the X-Wing series, Shadow Man and Battletoads. Today's list is a little different but features what we feel are classic titles brimming with transitional promise on the revival front, rounding the list out to six of our promised 15. This obviously leaves nine more games... what could they be? Make sure you jump in with your thoughts on today's list, as well as your own suggestions, which we'll be collating after our 15 is completed. Click here for Part 2 of our revival feature.

An overview of technology tools — online meeting registry, hotel sourcing, budgeting, and registration — that maximize the benefits of an SMMP
Technology is the heart of any strategic meetings management program. By deploying a technology solution, you can better understand your company's meetings activity and start to strategically manage your spend. It's important for it to match the needs of your program, by providing:
Automated meeting registry and calendaring: Developing a meeting policy that requires all meetings to be registered is the first step in tracking companywide activity. Having an intranet-based, centralized registry provides easy access for all users — and the easier a process, the higher the compliance. Once meeting data begins to come in, you can start to understand the anatomy of your organization's meetings. Some companies tie an automated approval process to their registry, thus ensuring that no meetings are planned outside of company policy. Typically, the meetings registry feeds into an online calendar that can be viewed 24/7/365 by all employees, avoiding overlaps and conflicts.
Online hotel sourcing (automated RFPs): Online sourcing technology increases staff productivity by sending your request for proposals electronically to multiple hotels in multiple destinations. Hotels can respond to your inquiry in a timely manner. An additional benefit is that you can ensure that at least three hotels are sourced for each meeting, thus avoiding any conflict-of-interest issues and supporting Sarbanes-Oxley audit requirements. You can also feed the hotel information from the RFP into a data collection and reporting tool, which gives you visibility into who is planning meetings, which hotels are getting the business, the size of the meetings, and how much is being saved through negotiations. Your ultimate goal would be to combine meeting spend with business travel spend to fully leverage your spend with specific hotel companies.
Online budgeting and planning: These modules help you to build the meeting budget from information in the RFP and the response from the hotel. This saves data entry time and improves accuracy. This piece of technology can also help speed the approval process by developing a top-line budget sent to management so they can see the potential cost implications of the proposed meeting.
Online attendee registration: Converting from Excel spreadsheets to an online system boosts staff productivity, increases the accuracy of your data, allows for increased communication and messaging to attendees pre- and post-meeting, and allows you to track meeting attendees on an annual basis.
Betsy Bondurant, CMP, CMM, is president of Bondurant Consulting, Coronado, Calif. Contact her by e-mail at email@example.com.
When You Can't have It All
In an ideal situation, you will have all possible technology tools — online meeting registry, hotel sourcing, budgeting, and registration — to maximize the benefits of an SMMP. If you can't have it all, a good place to start is with the meeting registry, which helps you get your arms around the total meeting activity for your company. Also, an online request for proposal process will give you spend data that you can use to maximize your meeting expenditures.

A Disturbance in One Place follows the life of a distant, aloof, tough-talking, married woman who blithely breaks seven of the Ten Commandments in her search for innocence and a safe place to land. Rootless, bouncing from bed to bed, she knows she is pure of heart. If only she could find where her heart got lost. Erotic with a rare honesty, darkly humorous, and profound, A Disturbance in One Place points to the small but infinitely deep cracks in our masks, drawing us irresistibly into the world of a woman who seems unable to decide whether she is out to prove or disprove the Talmudic wisdom: If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.

Hartwick College President Margaret L. Drugovich recently delivered a State of the College address.
Several hundred members of the Hartwick community, including students, faculty and staff, gathered in Lambros Arena on Oct. 8 for the first known event of its kind, according to a media release posted on the college's website. A release wasn't issued before the campus-oriented event.
Drugovich highlighted some successes of 2008-09, including a sharpened focus on college priorities, student and faculty successes, external recognition of Hartwick's strengths, the college's position in taking the lead on important issues and doing "the right thing."
Hartwick College in Oneonta is a private, liberal arts and sciences college of 1,480 students.
Drugovich outlined a number of financial challenges met as the college faced the global economic crisis. Hartwick saw a nearly 22 percent drop in its endowment, she said in reviewing budgetary steps taken to meet needs of Hartwick's students, including financial assistance. Drugovich said 35 percent of the freshmen enrolling this year had an average family income of $35,000 or less.
Drugovich said obstacles before Hartwick include demographic shifts, changing regulations and calls for the transformation of higher education nationwide, according to the release. She said Hartwick trustees did significant work during recent meetings and added "celebrate" and "believe" to her list of what the college is to do.
"We're going to create our future," she said in her address. "It is up to us to make it happen. I need you to believe, as I do, that these things are possible. I've seen what this community can do."
Second-graders in Judi Visnosky's Valleyview Elementary School class each have a ``Totally Terrific Week.''
During the designated week, pupils may bring guests to class, and a spotlight focuses on their interests, Visnosky said. A classroom teddy bear is allowed to go the pupil's home, where the host child keeps a journal for the bear to share with the class, she said.
Children have brought snakes, birds and other animals to class, she said, and their guests have included parents who lead arts-and-crafts projects or who conduct science experiments.
``It adds so much to our classroom,'' Visnosky said. ``It teaches me, too."
The FDA has banned sales of candy- and fruit-flavored cigarettes.
The ban, authorized by the new Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, is part of an initiative by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to reduce smoking, the leading preventable cause of death in America, a media release said. The ban went into effect Sept. 22.
Studies have shown that 17-year-old smokers are three times as likely to use flavored cigarettes as smokers older than 25, the release said.
The ban highlights the importance of reducing the number of children who start to smoke and who become addicted to dangerous tobacco products, the release said. The FDA is examining options to regulate menthol cigarettes and flavored tobacco products other than cigarettes.
The FDA takes reports of continued sales of flavored cigarettes through a hot line at (877) CTP-1373 or at www.fda.gov/

Charmaine Ryan knows only poverty and pain growing up. In the wake of a horrifying tragedy, she seeks a new life, and fate leads her into the private world of the wealthy Duvoisin clan. At first, it seems as if nothing terrible could touch this seemingly charmed family. But an ill wind blows through the halls and chambers of the Duvoisins' sprawling island retreat, carrying betrayal, deceit, and ominous peril.
Quickly, Charmaine is caught up in the secrets and mystique swirling around the enigmatic family. At the center are shipping tycoon Frederic Duvoisin and his youthful wife, Colette. And there is Paul Duvoisin, a dashing seducer and Frederic's bastard son, who stirs a dangerous fascination in the two women; the scheming Agatha Ward, who will not rest until she's taken Colette's place in Frederic's heart as well as in his bed; and exiled son, John, who reenters the family fold, stoking the turmoil as he unveils truths best kept hidden. Ultimately, Charmaine chooses to stand with Colette against formidable enemies, but has she made the right decision?
A sweeping, remarkable blend of adventure, romance, intrigue, and suspense, A Silent Ocean Away heralds the arrival of a glorious new voice on the historical fiction scene.
Questions for Discussion
1. A Silent Ocean Away opens with a solitary man immersed in despair. Who is this man? What has led him to such despair? For what is he praying?
2. Charmaine travels to the Caribbean and Charmantes in pursuit of a new and happier life. Has she successfully escaped her past? Why or why not?
3. Great stories emerge from conflict. Likewise, the more complex a story, the more difficult it becomes to differentiate between virtue and evil (the good and the bad). Into which category do the following characters fall? Charmaine? Paul? George? Colette? Frederic? Agatha? John?
4. Foreshadow is a powerful literary tool. In the beginning of Chapter 6, Pierre recounts his dream of meeting his mother in heaven. How is this dream foreshadow? Can you locate other passages of foreshadow?
5. Symbolism is an equally powerful literary tool. On the night John returns home, the storm is symbolic. How do the thunder and lightning mimic and personify John and Paul? Can you find other elements of symbolism?
6. Reviewers have called A Silent Ocean Away a gothic tale in line with Jane Eyre. Do you agree? Which aspects of the story might be considered gothic?
7. Each character introduced in A Silent Ocean Away is complex, credible, and imperfect. Do flawed characters make for a better story? Why or why not? Which character(s) have you found most interesting? Why is that?
8. The open-endedness of A Silent Ocean Away leaves the reader guessing. Even so, there are many clues cueing the reader in to what will happen in Book 2—Decision and Destiny. Predict or comment on the following:
Charmaine's future Paul's affections John's anger Agatha's desires Frederic's motives
About the Author
DeVa Gantt is a pseudonym for coauthor sisters Deb and Val Gantt. Valerie and Debra were born and raised in New Jersey, where the Colette Trilogy—commencing with A Silent Ocean Away —was conceived. Presently, they live in New York. Both women are married, have children, and maintain full-time careers.

The Nissan TeRRA SUV Concept is hydrogen-powered and iPad-ready Video
The Nissan TeRRA SUV Concept is hydrogen-powered and iPad-ready Video Transcript
-I'm Wayne Cunningham with the 2012 Paris Motor Show. I've been a fan of hydrogen fuel-cell stocks for powering electric cars for a long time and Nissan has not forgotten about that technology either. Here, they've got the TeRRA SUV Concept on the floor and this uses a hydrogen fuel-cell stock to power its electric drive motor. Nissan says that it's proprietary fuel cell stock in the car that it has been developing all these years. It's cheaper than ones in the past. So, this is actually pretty practical. They say they could sell this car today if the hydrogen filling structure was in place, which is not. Now, this is being a concept. It's got a lot of concept elements when the car looks a lot like Nissan Juke from 20 or 30 years in the future. It's got L.E.D. headlights and carriage doors and a wood interior, all those kind of concept of the stuff and one thing that's also concept, but also something that I think people think might happen in the future it uses the tablet like an iPad as the cars key and it's instrument cluster. The idea of being that you would pickup the tablet, you know, play angry birds at home or whatever-- whatever you wanna do when you wanna drive you take the tablet with you into the car mounted on the dock. It unlocks the car and access the inter math cluster and infotainment system. Once you're done driving, take it out of the car. The car locks down and you're done. It's probably something we'll see in the future. I'm Wayne Cunningham for CNET.

Let's Do This Thing!: Stephen Hawking Explains How Time Travel Is Possible
Stephen Hawking, best known for once beating me in a battle of the brains by an incredibly narrow margin (I dominated him in an arm-wrestling rematch), has taken to explaining how humans might be able to time travel into the future. It sounds difficult. Plus expensive (read: it's never gonna happen).
Hawking says it would be possible if you could build a gigantic spacecraft, "a truly enormous machine," carrying a huge amount of fuel, enough to accelerate it for six years at full power. That would bring it to a velocity almost as fast as the speed of light."At this speed, a single day on board is a whole year of Earth time. Our ship would be truly flying into the future. The slowing of time has another benefit. It means we could, in theory, travel extraordinary distances within one lifetime. A trip to the edge of the galaxy would take just 80 years."
I didn't actually bother reading any of that, but I'm gonna assume Stephen suggested I go ahead and bid on the DeLorean I've been watching on eBay. What next, Mr. Hawking? A flux capacitor? Hmmm....
Okay I'm going to stand on the toilet and hold this clock, I want you to ram me with your wheelchair. *CRASH* Dammit Steve -- towards the sink, TOWARDS THE SINK!
Stephen Hawking explains how to travel into the future [dvice]
Thanks to banjoballdangler, who may or may yes have the awesomest name I've ever heard.
According to a recent study (OR POSSIBLE GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY), time travel is effectively impossible as a result of photons being unable to travel faster than light. But what about photons shot out of a cannon? "You're an idiot." Am I? *staring into laser beam* By prov... / Continue →

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
I think it is very funny how some extremely sophisticated financial gurus talk about the "gold standard" as if there were a real value to gold beyond its usefulness in industrial applications and jewelry... this nostalgia about the "gold standard" echoes in some of the comments about this article.
The article presented here is very good, but it seems to be missing some more speculation as in how will the financial systems stabilize, how will it affect the Dollar, will the Euro take over? Where is the seigniorage going? What will China do? How many Chinese heads will roll in Beijing when the Yuan finally appreciates against the Dollar? How will the Fed react when others finally give in to the appreciation of their currencies?
On my comment posted
"justlistenall wrote: Jan 16th 2010 10:54 GMT"
The word [only] was inadvertently missing from the last paragraph which should read as in below:
[In that sense, what the Economist pronounced: "It is no mystery why developed countries abandoned fixed rates" makes sense, for the developed economies only.]
There is a good article on Duncan's book and the consequences of the current fiat money system on Kerrisdale Capital's website. See http://kerrisdalecap.com/?p=399
The adjustment has come at last. The fact that it has been a long time coming might tell us something about the size of the readjustment.
History taught us that no currency without being pegged to or based on some equitable wealth storing capacity will last very long and will go down often taking its regime with it (from Cesar Roma Empire, Byzantine, and Sung… to Weimar Germany to…).
With some $57 t and mounting debts (not counting social welfare obligations), something needs to be done on the dollar since the demise of Bretton Woods style of pegging.
This article seems to pointing to the direction of single global currency where countries with most hordes of gold and other tradable potentials like carbon credit will come out ahead.
In that sense, what the Economist pronounced: "It is no mystery why developed countries abandoned fixed rates" makes sense, for the developed economies.
I could never understand why central banks were paranoid about wage inflation but had little interest in asset inflation. The main difference is that the baby boomers and wealthy benefitted from asset inflation whereas the "workers" apparently (though not in fact) benefit from wage inflation.
Awesome article Buttonwood! I work as an economist for a large US manufacturer. In two years of covering this crisis, I think this has got to be one of the most insightful analyses written. Makes me want to resubscribe...
In the new regime, the US can only maintain high trade and government deficits combined with low interest rates and inflation as long as China is determined to peg its currency and accept ever-growing (and depreciating) low-interest USD reserves. What has been interesting to me is how well this informal arrangement has survived the global recession relatively intact. However, USD-priced commodities and energy MUST adjust, so we see a stubborn asset 'bubble' re-emerging.
I also note with interest how much narrower a range the CAD/Euro exchange rate has maintained vs the CAD/USD. Canada's economy is very dependent on trade with the US, but much of that trade is in commodities and energy, which freely adjust as well as the exchange.
Market efficiency rules (in the global economy, long-term at least!)
It's interesting to note why the US went off the gold standard. Nixon ended the gold standard in an effort to stabilize the economy because we were spending more than we could afford on the Vietnam war. In software development they would call this solution a "hack." You would expect it to blow up again on you later.
If we went back to the gold standard (if that is even possible), the whole thing might start making sense again. Currently, floating rates are an absurdly complex solution for a comparatively simple problem. Again, in software development, the truly talented architects and designers never add complexity to a system unless a simple solution is impossible.

Flexible, Paper-Like Tablet Computers Work Together To Make Computing More Like Shuffling Papers
But in a good way.
There's a lot of consumer electronics news flooding out of CES in Las Vegas this week, but one of the more interesting technology stories we're seeing is trickling out of Ontario, Canada, where Queen's University researchers working with partners in the UK as well as at Intel Labs and Plastic Logic have developed a tablet computer that is both paper-thin and flexible. And while we've seen concept prototypes for flexible e-ink screens and the like previously, what's most intriguing about the so-called PaperTab is the user interface.
The idea behind PaperTab isn't to make your iPad flexible, but to rethink the way we use tablet computers--and to make them more like the actual pieces of paper we shuffle around our desks. Designed to work in clusters of up to ten tablets, the user can control various screens at once, with one or more PaperTabs for each app in use. So you can have several documents or apps running at once and work across several PaperTabs to execute tasks while moving things around between them. You can use several together to make a larger PaperTab display, or shuffle them around like you would actual paper documents. Touch two PaperTabs together and you can swap data between them (this is all far better explained in the video below).
Rather than relying on buttons or swipe gestures, PaperTabs respond to the flexing of the actual screen in certain ways--bend the right side of the display to page forward and the left side to page backward, for instance. And while it feels like this might be easier to master in theory than in practice, the folks in the video demo make it look pretty simple. But the point is, PaperTabs create a really interesting workflow--something like taking the various windows on your PC desktop and breaking them out on your physical desktop while retaining the ability to quickly move data and programs around from page to page. Figure out how to untether these things from those unsightly cords (they'll need a paper-thin, flexible battery) and this Queen's U. team might be onto something here--if not a consumer product just yet, at least a very cool interface idea.
"Figure out how to untether these things from those unsightly cords (they'll need a paper-thin, flexible battery)...."
A paper-thin flexible battery is one option. Another would be inductive charging (if the desk includes an inductive charger, similar to the ones already marketed for cell phones, etc.) Yet another option would be beaming the power directly to the tablets (as Tesla proposed).
Hmmm.. its a nice tech demo, but IMO it creates a LESS productive environment then the current PC.
IE. When I want to check an email I mouse to the email icon, click it, and then another click makes the reply, and I can then drag pictures into the email to attach them.
With paper tab. I have to have an "Email" paper tablet open on email, and then have to have a "blank" paper tab to "Tap" the email to brind a single email message onto that paper tab, I then "dog ear" the paper tab to reply, type using a what appears to be a very unresponsive paper tab keyboard, and then also have the picture I want to add already open in a paper tab, then pick up that tab and "Tap" it into my email message...
So.. to be this is "Cool" and all in a "Hey we can do this" kind of way.. but completely impractical in that:
A) I'm limited to using them at this special desk.
B) I'm limited by how many paper tabs I have (physical constraint).
C) Assuming they eventually get rid of the cords, this still represents an organizational mess as paper tabs "pile up" on the desk.
D) With "simple gestures" like "dog earing" and "tapping" I can only imagine the frustration of "accidental" dog earing as you are picking up the paper tab from the desk or accidental tapping as you put it down..
Again tho... nice tech demo.
in order to thank everyone, characteristic, novel style, varieties, low price and good quality, and the low sale price. Thank everyone

Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
my husband love this fragrances and i love it too because is very masculine and this fragrances make him sexy
This is a great stand by. Its a great sent for everyday wear and most every occasion . not to strong not to bold. Just right to keep it nice
I got a sample of this in my Birchbox and just couldn't get enough of it that I had to buy the large size! I get tons of compliments on how good I smell all day. Great product.
This cologne has quickly became my signature sent, and replaced the cologne I have been wearing for three years. Strangers are even complimenting how great I smell.
He's already used all of it. I think we've found the right scent!
While I was never one to go in for "designer" fragrances, I was pleasantly surprised by this. It has a nice top note, and a base that I initially though was a sandalwood note. It's a long lasting product that takes me through the whole day. I would suggest using it in a business setting, as to me, it's not designed to be a casual fragrance. It certainly exudes confidence and style.
Smells good, but smells like all the other cologne I smell. Thanks for the sample, but probably won't buy
Smells great, what more can one say about cologne.
Such a nice smell. Its sophisticated without being overwhelming.
This cologne is a very smooth scent. I love wearing it when i go out, it's strong, but not overpowering, and it lasts a really long time.

Gervin recounts glory days to young players
For Spurs fans growing up in San Antonio, it's almost as if the name Gervin was learned during early childhood at the same time kids learn colors and shapes.
If you didn't grow up watching former Spur George Gervin, you heard all about him from older siblings or relatives.
But when several young basketball players in Sioux Falls last weekend first saw the gray-haired Gervin arrive at Washington High School, they likely didn't give him a second look.
Gervin was there giving a talk to several kids at a Legends clinic. Unfortunately for the kids at the clinic, they never got to see Gervin's sweet finger-roll or watch him dominate and put up 63 points to win the scoring title in 1978.
But Gervin was there to recount it all while stressing the importance of education.
"My concern for these kids developed based on my own childhood," Gervin said. "My mom raised six of us alone - four boys and two girls - and she kept us in programs all the time. So I'm a product of that, and I know it works."
"Obviously, we want all our kids to be from a two-parent family, but sometimes it doesn't work out," Gervin said. "But you can still be successful - you just have to work hard and get your education. If you do those things, your future is whatever you want it to be. That's why I do what I do."
Gervin is no stranger to working with kids. He founded and runs the George Gervin Youth Center, George Gervin Academy and George Gervin Technology Center in San Antonio.

text: | This week's roundup of things that may interest only meJune 2, 2011 - Jody MurphyLast week, news broke that indicates WVU's football head coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen may have a drinking problem. The Charleston Daily Mail broke the story (and YEAH it IS a story) that the coach was escorted from a Kanawha County casino. Longtime former Wheeling Intelligencer Sports Editor Doug Huff penned a column (that's an opinion piece) in which he claims Holgorsen had a similar incident in Wheeling. A few days later Huntington Herald-Dispatch columnist Chuck Landon took things a step further and threw lots of crap against the wall to see what sticks. Landon, take it for what it's worth, claims Holgorsen has as many as six such incidents and his predicament has linked him with athletic director Oliver Luck, i.e. he goes, you go. Neither Huff nor Landon cite any credible or on-the-record sources, so take it for what it is - unsubstantiated gossip. ... Remember Craig Farnsworth, former Parkersburg High and Marietta High football coach? He resigned this year from Marietta High after one year citing his wife's new job and the likelihood he would be moving. To where? Parkersburg? He's been hired by the Wood County BOE. Hmmm. I don't know Farnsworth, but I will say he doesn't like to stand in one place to long. .... Did you see Wednesday's synthetic drug bust in Parkersburg? Did you read last week's AP stories about the state's overcrowded jails? Here's an idea - one I have been touting for more than a decade - that is gaining steam. Don't think it will happen in this state anytime soon though. ... Note to U.S. Rep Anthony Wiener; women, according to this, are not excited by Twittered pics of male parts. You wanna excite a girl? According to the article send her a picture of folded laundry or a made bed. Bonus points if you can fold a fitted sheet! ... Martinsburg Journal blogger; hero or bad guy? ...

Technical Foul in an East Side Co-op
With the clocks set back and the temperature dropping, kids and grownups alike are turning their attention to indoor activities. I have replaced my Central Park runs with elliptical workouts at the gym, and so too have the children in my building brought their athletics inside. My first-floor neighbors, in particular, enjoy playing basketball. I know this, because I can hear them. They play it all the time, inside their apartment. I'm not talking about a child's toy—this is the real thing. Read More

Christian Group Shows Up To Chicago Gay Pride Holding Apologetic Signs
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 27th @ 2:45pm – I don't have anything more to add in regards to the story below, but I would liek to share a little bit about how I feel with the Supreme Court currently debating same-sex marriage. Being a lesbian, this is a pivotal time in history and I would like to see us receive the right to do what we want with whomever we want, because it in no way affects anyone but us. We are not benefiting from the institutions in place for legally married couples, and that is absolutely unfair and should not be legal in this country who constantly shares how "free" we are. In a showing of my support, I made this photo and would love for anyone and everyone to share The link to my FaceBook (where it can be easily shared) is HERE
This is an amazing photo that captured the moment a gay man hugged a member of a Christian group, that came to Gay Pride to apologize for the way the church has treated homosexuals. It's nice to see people of faith have common sense enough to know that hate and prejudice is wrong. A step in the right direction towards equality and something everyone should learn from. THIS is the kind of compassion that religion teaches, but far too often doesn't follow. Well done.
Since seeing this photo, a friend of mine had introduced me to more of the story. A man, by the name of Nathan, is the one you see above hugging the gay guy in his underwear, or Tristan rather. Well, Nathan wrote a blog about this day and this moment and what his and his fellow church-goers had done. Here is what he had to say:
I hugged a man in his underwear. I think Jesus would have too.
I spent the day at Chicago's Pride Parade. Some friends and I, with The Marin Foundation, wore shirts with "I'm Sorry" written on it. We had signs that said, "I'm sorry that Christians judge you," "I'm sorry the way churches have treated you," "I used to be a bible-banging homophobe, sorry." We wanted to be an alternative Christian voice from the protestors that were there speaking hate into megaphones.
What I loved most about the day is when people "got it." I loved watching people's faces as they saw our shirts, read the signs, and looked back at us. Responses were incredible. Some people blew us kisses, some hugged us, some screamed thank you. A couple ladies walked up and said we were the best thing they had seen all day. I wish I had counted how many people hugged me. One guy in particular softly said, "Well, I forgive you."
Watching people recognize our apology brought me to tears many times. It was reconciliation personified.
My favorite though was a gentleman who was dancing on a float. He was dressed solely in white underwear and had a pack of abs like no one else. As he was dancing on the float, he noticed us and jokingly yelled, "What are you sorry for? It's pride!" I pointed to our signs and watched him read them.
Then it clicked.
Then he got it.
He stopped dancing. He looked at all of us standing there. A look of utter seriousness came across his face. And as the float passed us he jumped off of it and ran towards us. In all his sweaty beautiful abs of steal, he hugged me and whispered, "thank you."
Before I had even let go, another guy ran up to me, kissed me on the cheek, and gave me the biggest bear hug ever. I almost had the wind knocked out of me; it was one of those hugs.
This is why I do what I do. This is why I will continue to do what I do. Reconciliation was personified.
I think a lot of people would stop at the whole "man in his underwear dancing" part. That seems to be the most controversial. It's what makes the evening news. It's the stereotype most people have in their minds about Pride.
Sadly, most Christians want to run from such a sight rather than engage it. Most Christian won't even learn if that person dancing in his underwear has a name. Well, he does. His name is Tristan.
However, I think Jesus would have hugged him too. It's exactly what I read throughout scripture: Jesus hanging out with people that religious people would flee from. Correlation between then and now? I think so.
Acceptance is one thing. Reconciliation is another. Sure at Pride, everyone is accepted (except perhaps the protestors). There are churches that say they accept all. There are business that say the accept everyone. But acceptance isn't enough. Reconciliation is.
But there isn't always reconciliation. And when there isn't reconciliation, there isn't full acceptance. Reconciliation is more painful; it's more difficult. Reconciliation forces one to remember the wrongs committed and relive constant pain. Yet it's more powerful and transformational because two parties that should not be together and have every right to hate one another come together for the good of one another, for forgiveness, reconciliation, unity.
What I saw and experienced at Pride 2010 was the beginning of reconciliation. It was in the shocked faces of gay men and women who did not ever think Christians would apologize to them.
What I saw and experienced at Pride 2010 was the personification of reconciliation. It was in the hugs and kisses I received, in the "thank you's" and waves, in the smiles and kisses blown.
I hugged a man in his underwear. I hugged him tightly. And I am proud.
THIS is truly heart-warming. I am crying as I write this because I am proud of this man and his willingness to share what he believes, despite the criticism he may receive. After this, even more came together to keep this story going. Someone had recognized Tristan from the photo, and Tristan got in touch with Nathan. These two shared how this moment meant so much for each of them, and that is what's remarkable. One person meets another, and for each of them, this was a lasting experience and memory.

Electronic college admissions decisions make me nostalgic for the old slim letter/fat letter days. Waiting for a piece of paper in a stamped envelope was a rite of passage. Plus, sending word the old-fashioned way provided more opportunities to catch an error like the one that happened at Vassar College over the weekend.
At approximately 4 p.m. last Friday, 122 students celebrated their early acceptances to Vassar. Three hours later those same students had learned that only 46 of the 122 had actually been accepted. A Vassar admissions officer offered a highly unsatisfying and convoluted explanation that involved a "test letter" as a placeholder accidentally sent out before the actual decision appeared on line.
Last month my daughter went through the agony of logging in to learn whether her first- choice university had accepted her for admission. The five of us — Mom, Dad, younger brother, applicant and even the dog — could have been mistaken for a 21st-century version of a Norman Rockwell painting as we huddled around my daughter's laptop (our stand-in for the vintage radio) for the big news. Hands shaking, she input her password and then slowly started reading. The first word was "congratulations" and the rest was a blur. I was screaming, my daughter was crying, my son was stunned, the dog retreated to his crate and my husband caught the laptop before it fell to the floor. My husband then read the acceptance letter out loud. Twice. She was in. The elation. The joy.
I can only imagine the trauma — yes, it really is a trauma — of thinking that the dreadful college application process is over and the decision is a dream come true, only to have it taken away as quickly as typing a randomly assigned password. Read more…
