And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
on England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Find more lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com
Bring me my Chariot of Fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land

Apollo-Ridge football players suspended
TribLIVE Sports Videos
A "small group" of Apollo-Ridge football players have been disciplined for an incident involving cell phone cameras during training camp.
Apollo-Ridge Superintendent Margaret DiNinno confirmed the incident but declined to specify what the players did wrong.
When asked if the incident involved "sexting," or sending sexually explicit images through cell phones, DiNinno said: "As we know and define sexting, that is not what occurred here. It certainly does not warrant the extreme concern some people might feel relative to a typical sexting scenario."
DiNinno said the players will be suspended from participating in some football games but did not say how long the athletic suspension would last. She also would not say whether the students faced other disciplinary actions and cited student confidentially.
Apollo-Ridge, which finished 3-6 in the Class AA Allegheny Conference last season, will open the regular season at Class AAA Indiana at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Apollo-Ridge Athletic Director Ray Bartha said he probably would make a statement about the incident and disciplinary action within the next couple of days. He declined further comment.
Apollo-Ridge coach John Simon, who enters his third season at the helm, did not return phone calls.
DiNinno said she hopes the students will treat the incident as a learning experience.
"Sometimes, these things turn into learning opportunities," she said. "These are kids. We're hoping they learn from this, and it prevents something more serious from happening in the future."

- bflovs2dineoutDined on 10/18/2014Comfortable library setting with friendly service and delicious food. The lamb shanks were wonderful.Special Features:
- Great for brunch; okay for dinnerentertainerDined on 10/16/2014This is a lovely restaurant, very warm and inviting. It is a terrific place for Sunday brunch or a weekday lunch. However, we found it a bit disappointing for dinner in that the food, while not bad, didn't merit the prices. The service was good and the maitre d' was quite accommodating in finding us the perfect table.Special Features:
- Just a really solid restaurantStephenDined on 10/9/2014This is off the beaten path but well worth finding. A really consistently good restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bellaVIPDined on 10/3/2014This was my second visit to Bedford & Burns, and it was just as great the second time around. Had their Caesar Salad the first time, which was excellent, and tried their Kale Salad the second time, and enjoyed that as well. Their Branzino is the Best!! And their Molten Lava Cake is excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lunching in BHyummytomytummy2Dined on 9/29/2014Very good service and food quality excellent Had lunch with friend based on advice of my daughterSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/27/2014First time here - wonderful food, ambiance and service!! Can't wait to go back!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- just a great placeStephenDined on 9/23/2014this is really a wonderful restaurant. It is always busy for lunch, but it really is nice for dinner. The location has had many previous restaurants but it looks like bedford and Burns will make it. the food is solid and creative and the winelist reasonable.Special Features:
- the new gem in beverly hillsdiningoutVIPDined on 9/20/2014this is one of the most valuable 'new' restaurants on the westside. it's got great food, great atmosphere, and a great location. bedford and burns is that rare neighborhood hangout that strives to be superior in every category. it's highly likely that the burns family creates menu ideas while discussing the quest for the 'the best burger', 'the best pizza', 'the best apple tart'. the fact is that there are few restaurants where everything tastes so fresh and homemade - even though sometimes it's a little slow coming out of the kitchen. we've been 7 or 8 times now, and the staff seems to be surprised when it's crowded - something i think they'll have to get used to based on the quality of the experience!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not a favoriteJUMBOVIPDined on 9/13/2014Had a res to meet 2 other people. They came in gave name and went to bar. 20 min later we came in same name and they sat us and never told the other couple and it was not even busy. Had we not texted them they would still be sitting there. food is average. Waiter is too into himself. I will never go back.
- Always enjoyableFangVIPDined on 9/10/2014Servers do not need to interrupt a conversation to ask if everything is alright. The fact that we're eating and not looking around for a server should be sufficient. Have confidence that the food is going to be right and then you don't have to interrupt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the menulovesitdiningDined on 9/9/2014They always have great specials and the regular menu itself it also very delicious. Nearby my office, so it's great to come for a lunch meeting.Special Features:
- our favorites for Chicken MeatballsEssieDined on 9/6/2014The best chicken meatballs anywhere on this planet… so good that after going 5 times, I have yet to order anything else :D Next time for sure I will try something different because everything comes out of the kitchen looking yummy….Special Features:
- Returning for the Lobster RavioliCRM1VIPDined on 8/30/2014My husband loves the Lobster ravioli here. He was not disappointed. I had scallops which were tender and delicious. However on this visit the service was a little distracted. Our server was friendly, polite and knowledgeable but we were left waiting a bit too long between courses. It was Saturday and the restaurant although almost empty when we arrived filled quickly so perhaps that was the problem. We will return because the food is excellent.Special Features:
- Comfortable and deliciousWinoDined on 8/28/2014Well prepared fresh ingredients, friendly family service and casual vibe make this a natural choice for a delicious lunch or dinner and a craft beer or cocktail. The tables outside afford a view of the Beverly Hills shoppers and is dog friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal again and againFriedmansVIPDined on 8/27/2014Best Caesar salad in town. Cold and crisp every time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good eatCaptainPDined on 8/25/2014One of our fav spots in BH. We work close by and eat there a couple times a week. Excellent staff and manager.Special Features:
- Building a good baseLikebuttaVIPDined on 8/25/2014Third visit and I enjoy the place a lot. The food is very diverse and the specials always are rather different and give a little more divergency. Everything i have ordered I would easily order again and the people are very willing to do things "your way" to please. Refreshing to see a newer place with no attitude in BHSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/23/2014Food was very good and the service was excellent. Very nice people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Needs improvementmxpbuyVIPDined on 8/23/2014The service is the place to start with improvement. We went for an early dinner and the restaurant was, at most, 40% full. The "bottled" water did not taste filtered and seemed to have that fresh-from-the-kitchen-tap flavor. Our waitress brought small white wine glasses for our Napa Cab. My wife's appetizer showed up over 3.5 minutes after mine did. The food was made from quality, fresh ingredients and was generally prepared well, but each dish lacked a little pizzaz and the only one that had any was the Jadori Chicken but that was because it was a bit oversalted. The good news about this place is that the food is good and the portion sizes (especially the appetizers) create some value dining. Still, I hoped for better.
- Great local spotNOTAHAPPYCAMPERVIPDined on 8/22/2014Bedford and Burns isnt the 1st restraunt to come to mind in BH but it should be...Simply put, it is just delish all around!!! Highly recommend it..They aim to please!!!!Special Features:
- Consistently goodHappyDinerVIPDined on 8/20/2014Something for everyone with great service and nice ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good fitLikebuttaVIPDined on 8/18/2014Finally a good fit for the old Ginger Man space. Second visit and food was very good and a varied selection of choices. Especially nice outdoor seatingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always consistent!dintoexVIPDined on 8/18/2014Went to B&B for a business lunch and requested a "better" table withthe hopes of being able to have a conversation. Although it was somewhat better, I think the restaurant is just plain loud and there's not much they can do about it. On the plus side, we had a great server - very attentive without being intrusive. I order the fish special - it was good but not outstanding. I tend to stick with my old favorites: homemade bisquits, the salads and of course the burger - all are great.
- Terrific dining experienceJHG1VIPDined on 8/14/2014This was our second visit to this restaurant and it was every bit as good as the first visit. The food is excellent - perfectly prepared fried calamari and the steak and fries first rate. The other entrees were great, the wines by the glass great and the three layer lemon cake outstanding. The service was really outstanding and all of the staff friendly and competent. Definitely worth a return visit and a return visit after that!Special Features:
- HappyCaptainPDined on 8/4/2014We like to eat here once or twice a week. The waiters are great and don't lag like most places. The chef is great. The pizza is a great appetizer to share : )Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great burgers...but...foodawareDined on 8/1/2014My guy had a hamburger; I ordered lamb burger. Both terrific & juicy. Overcooked, but still very enjoyable. Fries arrived lukewarm. Even a newly served order of hot fries showed they're just not very good. Too limp. Server started out great; but never came back once our entrees were served-when we needed him. Showed up after the fact; pleasant; apologetic (nice gesture but...). We will go back...but we're in no hurry.Special Features:
- The following 141 reviews are from the Bedford & Burns reviews archive.
- A little disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/25/2014Pleasant waiter but did not tell us the specials (which we heard told to an adjacent table). Had to ask for bread. Had to ask for dessert menus. Gave us two dessert menus for four of us.
- New Jewel in Beverly Hills...trappeeDined on 7/25/2014Great ambiance. Great Food. Crab Louie salad without a doubt the best in the city. Burns family has been at this for years and understand better than most how to serve high quality, great food. Not be missed if you're in Beverly Hills.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pluses and minuseslarsandVIPDined on 7/23/2014The food is competent but that intangible of of a good restaurant -- everything "clicking"-- was absent here. Service was fair, at best. A small point: the waiter steered us away from a $10 glass of Rose (so why is it on the menu?) and, of course, the recommended one was $14. For Rose at a place like that? They even told Open Table we were a "no-show!' That was dinner. Apparently it is very popular for lunch.
- Solid RestaurantDoorahDined on 7/19/2014The food and selection were both good. Our mushroom pizza with truffle oil was delicious. Have had better banana cream pie but was still quite good. A great place for a large group since it wasn't loud and there's a large selection on the menu. If you're looking for a scene-y restaurant, perhaps not the place as the crowd seemed to skew older. I prefer food over club-y vibe and if you do too, you may want to check this restaurant out.Special Features:

Old-fashioned, hand-made Marijuana edibles
Start Small

Don't Mix
Edibles should not be mixed with alcohol or controlled substances.
Lock it Up

Veteran Grazer
Further along the Grazing Train? We recommend still cutting off at 10mg. That's a full serving.
Old Goat
Double black diamonds of the edibles world. Do not consumer this much unless you have a medical needs or have done so with good results in the past.
Back in the old days baking was done by hand with pure ingredients. At Mountain Medicine we're keeping that tradition alive and infusing it with a modern twist.
We also know that it's important for patients to have high quality medicine. And that's why we work hand-in-hand with Good Chemistry, a dispensary known for their quality, to select only the finest cannabis for everything we make. And because there's a science as well as an art to creating an award-winning edible, we continuously inspect and test our products to ensure you receive an accurate and consistent medicinal dosage.

CRG Newsletter
Hot topics and trends in corporate restructuring
The Deloitte CRG Newsletter addresses the current state and outlook for the CRG practice, including recent engagements, announcements, case studies, and upcoming events.
Become a leader of change: Managing through your company's liquidity crisis
Rudy Morando and Sugi Hadiwijaya, both senior managers with Deloitte CRG, give insight into managing a distressed company in a liquidity crisis. Accepting the challenge and becoming a leader for change are important steps towards company rehabilitation. Rudy and Sugi discuss how having the right mindset and tools to address the challenge can be the difference between a successful recovery and a failed business.
New chapter for innovative retailer
After a disappointing holiday season, Brookstone fell into default with their senior lender and was close to default on their second lien bond debt. The specialty retailer was under enormous pressure to resolve their balance sheet challenges immediately. While the company's first lien lender seemed comfortably secured by assets, it was unclear how other creditors would fare if the situation worsened. As a result, the lenders turned up the heat on the company to sell itself very fast, a process that most likely would have reduced recoveries even further. Instead, by working quickly, Deloitte CRG bought time for Brookstone's investment banker to execute on a sale process in a reasonable time frame to a strategic buyer, avoiding a 'fire sale' and yielding a far better outcome for all parties. Not only did the senior lender get paid in full, the second lien bondholder's recovery is significantly higher than originally anticipated, the company and brand will continue intact with few, if any, projected store closures, and the vendors will be largely uncompromised.
Working closely with management, the Deloitte CRG team first put together a credible weekly financial picture that reassured the senior secured lender there was sufficient time to run an expedited sale process. The investment banker, with Deloitte CRG's close support, signed up a stalking horse bidder for a plan of reorganization. Deloitte CRG, along with Brookstone's investment banker and bankruptcy counsel, then assisted Brookstone management through negotiations over a pre-arranged bankruptcy filing and developed a Plan contemplating a stock sale through an auction process that yielded an Enterprise Value of approximately $173 million (17x FY 2013 EBITDA). The successful sale process not only rescued the company, it saved over 3,000 jobs.

An exciting segment for the gaming industry is the 'iSegment,' says Dhiren Shah, MD and CEO, Mile Nine Studios, Mumbai (http://bit.ly/F4TDhirenS). Hinting at the opportunity for games that target exclusively iPhone and iPad in India, he adds that this refers to the premium segment, comprising passionate gamers, who may be less price-sensitive, but tech-savvy and high-earning. "The size of this iSegment is 100 million globally, and the size of iPhone4 alone is 1.8 million in India. If you go by the growth of Apple, this segment is growing very fast, importantly, with the same demographic structure," avers Dhiren, during a recent interaction with Business Line. Our conversation continues over the email.
Excerpts from the interview.
How do you see the opportunities before the gaming industry in India?
In the last 15 years, India has witnessed considerable economic growth. This, in addition to its demographic structure, offers immense potential for the gaming industry. An amalgamation of our culture, rising urban incomes, education, IT development and telecom growth offer the perfect platform for the gaming industry. IT and telecom considerably drive the gaming industry. In fact, by 2013, the telecom subscriber base is expected to increase to 725 million with a mobile penetration of 60 per cent.
While the global gaming industry is growing at 22 per cent, the Indian gaming industry is valued at Rs 10 billion and is expected to grow to reach Rs 38 billion by 2015. India offers a huge pool of talent in the IT and programming sector which plays a substantial role in the development of quality games at reasonably lower costs. Additionally, while the gaming industry is picking up, serious players and investors are entering into the industry, consequently facilitating its further growth.
Recently, 3G rollout in India, an increasing number of high-end mobile phone users, and broadband and DTH penetration into homes, contributed to the strong market currents that the Indian gaming industry is now riding on. Over the years, the price of games has come down significantly, making games more affordable to Indian gamers.
High-end mobile phone consumers, for instance, a growing iPhone consumer base, point towards a promising future for the mushrooming gaming industry. These buyers thus become a very lucrative segment which includes a premium, tech-savvy population which, evidently, has higher disposable incomes.
Would you like to specify a few key areas of gaming in which India has the right potential?
Outsourcing came as a big break for the Indian gaming industry. Primarily, India's outsourcing businesses cater to the US and the UK gaming market. With its existing IT infrastructure and talent, India can be a dominant player in the global games production segment. The strong infrastructure and capability to deliver high quality work can act as driving factors to increase our outsourcing pie in the international gaming market.
India offers a significant cost advantage to the global gaming industry. When the global market witnessed an economic slowdown, expenditure reached the top of the priority lists of game manufacturers in developed countries. Indian gaming industry can take the advantage of the present global economic environment as it offers significant cost reduction to the gaming production houses while maintaining the global standard of work.
However, content plays an important factor in the gaming world. An industry which is primarily dominated by mid- to small-sized players is not doing enough to create and distribute its own content. Intellectual property (IP) is one of the core areas where our gaming industry needs to work with greater focus. Furthermore, for the international market, it is also very important to understand their culture and interests while creating gaming content. Content localisation and distribution can play a vital role in the industry.
These factors coupled with extensive industry support in the form of funding, and an environment for domestic market development, can steadily further the progress of an emerging gaming industry.
Are Indian companies leveraging gaming for building their brands and business?
At the moment, the gaming industry is an emerging segment in India. It also offers innovation in brand building and a new way of interacting with the target groups of customers in any brand campaign. Brands can reach their audience with an option of multilevel interactions, which help create high recall value.
Some big business houses have already carried out in-game advertising campaigns for their brands. (Recently, Mile Nine Studios developed a game for Tata Indica Vista called Paint Ball Hitch to bring out the brand proposition effectively and build steady recall in the consumers' mind aligned with the company's current communication.)
Currently, around 45 per cent casual gamers in India are women; and women are increasingly and more frequently playing games in India. Therefore, advertising in any gaming content developed for targeting women gamers can be a very attractive proposition for a women's brand to reach the TG with customised interaction. Success of in-games advertising will be a win-win situation for both the brands and the gaming companies.
What are the factors that stand in the way of India realising its potential in gaming and what are the antidotes?
Indian gaming industry will only be negatively affected if the growing demand of gaming professionals is not met. Going by the industry's growth rate, India needs a large number of skilled gaming professionals. Talent is the key to achieving the true potential of the gaming industry in India.
Along with quantity, the quality of games produced is just as crucial. Highly skilled professionals are required to produce stunning designs and fresh concepts using the best in technology. Training and development programmes for the gaming industry professionals are crucial to meet future demand and supply needs. There is a scarcity of skilled gaming professionals in India and this is restricting the growth of the industry.
Piracy is another important threat, as in any other entertainment segment. It discourages investors and professionals to take necessary risk for the growth of the industry. If incentive gets reduced by the piracy, the growth story of the gaming industry can be derailed. The Government should address the piracy issue through effective policy and regulations.
In addition, tax and customs duty imposed on the gaming industry are considerably high in India. A sound Government policy that focuses on the reduction of taxes can be a strong catalyst for this industry. It can reduce the production cost, making the Indian gaming industry more competitive at the international level.
To those who aspire to be the part of the gaming industry, your tips on the skills they should have.
The success of the gaming industry largely relies on an ideal blend of technology, talent, creativity, marketing, and distribution. The people who want to be a part of this advancement have to find their niche in these fundamental areas. But the technical professionals who are into production and development need a high level of creativity and technical skill, in addition to a strong passion to produce stunning games for the world of gamers.

Transglobal debauchery rears its exotic horns when Ukrainian gypsy Eugene Hütz takes a break from fronting Gogol Bordello to mix together the sounds of an underground discotheque. Balkan, Turkish, dancehall and flamenco collide with bhangra, rai, klezmer and international kitchen-sink stylings to produce an altogether foreign strain of Fellini-approved combat rock. And though electronic music-mucking has its limitations, Hütz lures listeners through a post-Soviet stumble of radical beats and mindless sex. With a nod to '80s-era German industrial punkers D.A.F., the international collective (J.U.F. ironically stands for Jewish Ukrainian Freundschaft) blends mesmerizing moments that defy categorization, namely "When I Was a Spy," "Super Rifle" and "Last Wish of the Bride." This is all-inclusive musical democracy -- that is, if America ever pretended to concern itself with the evolving tastes of an ever-growing immigrant populace. Then again, maybe that's what the Latin Grammys were designed for.

"We will hold accountable people who hurt or harm Americans, we have been clear about that, that also means that we will not be restricted by borders or boundaries when we talk about how to take the fight to ISIS," she said. And, "we are having a conversation, and actively looking at options for where else we can confront this group, how we can degrade their abilities to attack there, and also possibly to attack us, and in the end, really defeat this organization."
She concluded, "We're looking at a range of options right now, and I don't want to get ahead of that process, but the president has said, he's been very clear, that we will go to any length and not be restricted by borders to make sure that we take the fight to ISIS and that our people are safe."

"Autumn begins unnoticed. Nights slowly lengthen,
And little by little, clear winds turn colder and colder,
summer's blaze giving way. My thatch hut grows still.
At the bottom stair, in bunchgrass, lit dew shimmers."
--"Autumn Begins" by Meng Hao-Jan
I am driving through the wooded countryside: froth on the lake; webs of spiders catching shimmer of morning; patchwork horses white and wagging auburn tails, grazing in grass dappled in Meng's dew. All of creation shining: even as fall encroaches ruby red into emerald encrusted trees.
In this light, it is easy to slip into cozy sentiments of autumn: pumpkin lattes and cardigans, apple orchards and hay rides, cider and football games, candy corn and quilts. It is a season that seems all cinnamon and cloves, a time of year that can be so unabashedly sweet that we in this country, as was noted in one recent radio advertisement, can even bemoan the cost of candy trick-or-treaters expect us to dole out.
And yet, a little over a month and a half ago, on September 15, Orthodox Christians celebrated the Feast of the Elevation of the Cross. This is the last major event on the Church calendar until Advent begins. Yes, there are some lesser feasts thrown in there, but by and large, the Elevation of the Cross is what we have liturgically to carry us through the majority of autumn.
I wonder if the reason for this, in part, is so that we have a whole season to meditate on the Cross: the reality of our Christian lives. The days get shorter, and the cold and dark press into our bones like mortality. Is it perhaps the clear, cold winds shaking away at the full summer foliage that exposes the stark form of our humanity more clearly: violence overseas, miscarriages, unexpected illnesses; death shrouding our whole being: one elderly relative labors to breathe and another struggles to remember as dementia gnaws away at his mind.
I read this quote from Mother Maria Skobtsova, an Orthodox Christian saint, on another blog post:
"This necessity of choice always stands before each man: the warmth and coziness of this earthly home, well-protected from wind and storms, or the endless space of eternity, in which there is only one firm and unquestionable thing, and this firm and unquestionable thing is the cross."
I type these words to be read by rich and well-fed as others in the world fight battles that modern comforts and conveniences keep at bay: those wrought by nature and suffering; the ills that ravage a being unmediated and unmedicated by things I daily take for granted.
I see a photo of a mother and read the corresponding report of her and her infant son fleeing persecution in Syria for a better life in another part of the Middle East. Only a few hours later, I listen to reports of a priest and his parish who live in constant fear of terror and death as they seek only to live their Faith among hostile territory near the same region.
I listen—and I eat a pumpkin cookie with buttercream frosting.
I listen—then change the channel to hear about another man promoting a new book here in the States.
Who am I to speak about Faith and trust and courage when the bravest witness seems to be among the silent— and the silenced? Why should I bother to be another voice dropping a humble little post into this vast, digital sea of words?
Tears burn in my eyes as I bring up stories and articles related to American journalist James Foley, who (if you haven't heard) was recently beheaded as he conducted his work overseas. And I am reminded by his witness—as a Christian AND a journalist—of the power of the pen.
Humorist Finley Peter Dunne, in the early 1900's, coined the phrase "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" in describing (or perhaps somewhat satirizing) the role of the newspaper.
Sometimes silence bears a witness, but sometimes silence is a co-conspirator with evil. How can I shirk the freedom I have to speak? How can I not run with the light of day while I have it? Gratitude is accepting and using what I've been given, humility is regarding it as "just doing my job", courage is continuing on when it'd be easier to quit. All three are battles I lose. Often.
And yet, the burden to write is not easy to shake off. It is something akin to this Bible verse in Jeremiah 20:9, "But if I say, 'I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,' his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot."
Indeed, I cannot.
No matter how humble the contents or context; whether it's only one voice or one among many, if I speak, it should bear witness to truth: comforting or afflicting in due season.
If there is any significance in the season of autumn coinciding with the season of the Cross, it is perhaps to remind us of the equalizing power of death on all places and all people: whether rich or poor, persecuted or safe, healthy or sick. Death will come for all of us, surer than even taxes.
Leaves slip off the trees and we find in their stark forms a reflection of our own humanity, bare and vulnerable, reaching into the cold and dark for life. And yet, to those trees has come also the Tree of the Cross: the "one firm and unquestionable thing" that truly comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable.
An Orthodox priest, Fr Stephen Freeman, writing on the tragedy of human existence notes:
"The suffering of old age is indeed tragic. To watch a brilliant mind numbed by dementia is devastating. To see the savings of a lifetime devoured by sickness is tragic as well. But they are tragedies that have been gathered into the Cross, the Great Tragedy, and by that gathering they become a locus of triumph, healing, redemption, sanctification, justification, illumination. If this is not true of all tragedy, then the Cross would be empty and without effect."
I became a Christian, and later converted to Orthodox Christianity, for two reasons:
The first one is death.
The second is Resurrection.
Autumn begins, and earth is engulfed by the shadow of the cross.And yet, even here, trees strain with ruby red and gold, and lit dew shimmers.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) personnel management demonstration project, focusing on personnel management authorities available to NIST and the effects of the Federal Employees' Pay Comparability Act (FEPCA) on the project.
GAO found that: (1) FEPCA should not significantly affect the demonstration project, since FEPCA did not cover many of the authorities available under the project; (2) the authorities available to NIST are available to other agencies; (3) special NIST pay-banding and pay-for-performance systems are authorities offering greater grade and pay-setting flexibility than the General Schedule system; and (4) the NIST demonstration project allows comparison to private-sector compensation levels, but NIST has not used this authority.
