PHILADELPHIA (January 6, 2009) – In recent years, official relations between Jews and Catholics have been shaken by disputes over the biblical concept of covenant within the Jewish and Catholic traditions, and how these understandings affect their interrelationship.
Newcombe Scholarship Provides Financial Relief for Women in University College
Working women and mothers have taken advantage of the flexibility of Saint Joseph's University College since 1946. The program plays a pivotal role for adult and part-time students who want to continue their studies through undergraduate or accelerated degree programs. Now, even more women have the opportunity to pursue their academic ambitions in the University College through the Newcombe Scholarships for Mature Women Students program.
Connecting the Campus, One Country at a Time
Over the past decades, Saint Joseph's has significantly increased its diversity efforts, thanks in part to a determined University administration. But one SJU student, junior English and Asian Studies double major Karrin Randle, has taken matters into her own hands by founding an English language conversation group that aims to unite international and local SJU students and, ultimately, foster the understanding of different cultures.
Wealth of Celebrations, Charities Highlight Holidays
Christmas, it seems, comes earlier every year. Area malls have displayed their most festive decorations for weeks and, this year, local radio stations started playing "Jingle Bells" before trick-or-treaters could count their candy from Halloween. At Saint Joseph's University, though, the holidays can never come too early, and departments around campus are rolling out plans to commemorate the season.
Jewish-Catholic Relations in Germany in 2008

The program, which is sponsored by SJU's Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations, will be held from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. in room 107 of Mandeville Hall.
Boosting Milk Production One Micro Dairy at a Time
Virginia Miori, Ph.D., assistant professor of decision and system sciences, is thinking a lot about milk these days. She even says the word differently, pronouncing the "k" as if it were its own syllable. Miori has boosted milk production and cut costs at two micro dairies with plans for installing her model at eight more dairies across the country. Her secret - a production scheduling model she developed to change the way farmers process the milk we drink.
Students Shape Debate at Model European Union in Washington, D.C.

- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 1/4-ounce envelope active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for surface and hands
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup whole-milk yogurt (not Greek)
- 2 tablespoons melted ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil plus more
Nutritional Information
10 servings, 1 serving contains: Calories (kcal) 210 Fat (g) 4.5 Saturated Fat (g) 1.5 Cholesterol (mg) 5 Carbohydrates (g) 35 Dietary Fiber (g) 2 Total Sugars (g) 4 Protein (g) 7 Sodium (mg) 210
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until an instant-read thermometer registers 100°. Transfer to a small bowl and whisk in yeast and sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
Whisk 3 1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl to blend. Add yeast mixture, onion, yogurt, and 2 tablespoons ghee. Mix dough until blended but still shaggy.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Knead until a smooth dough forms, adding flour as needed (dough will be sticky), about 5 minutes. Lightly grease another large bowl with ghee, place dough in bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough and divide into 10 pieces. Using floured hands, roll each piece into a ball on a lightly floured surface. Cover with plastic wrap; let rest 10 minutes.
Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with ghee. Working with 1 piece at a time, stretch dough with your hands or roll out with a rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness. Sprinkle with salt. Cook until lightly blistered, puffed, and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Wrap in foil to keep warm until ready to serve.
DO AHEAD: Naan dough can be made 4 hours before shaping. Cover and chill.

Yacob nabs America East Rookie of Week award
Freshman guard went for game-high 20 points in win at UMBC, earns second honor
February 24, 2014Tweet
Contact: John Hartrick (email@example.com)
VESTAL, N.Y. - Binghamton men's basketball freshman guard Yosef Yacob has been named the America East Rookie of the Week, the conference announced on Monday. It's the second honor this season for Yacob and the seventh rookie selection overall for the Bearcats, who have had a league-record four different winners.
Yacob averaged 16.0 points and 3.0 assists in two games last week, highlighted by a game-high 20 points in BU's 72-70 road win at UMBC on Saturday. Yacob netted 14 points in the first half as the Bearcats built a double-digit lead and then he made a crucial free throw with 20 seconds left to help provide the winning margin.
For the season, Yacob is averaging 11.3 points (second on team) and has scored in double figures 14 times, including 10 of the last 12 games. He was also selected as Rookie of the Week on January 13.
Binghamton has won three of its last four games to move to within a half-game of the No. 5 seed for the upcoming America East tournament. The Bearcats play at Hartford on Thursday before finishing the regular season with a home game against first-place Vermont on Sunday.

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- Almost two dozen Cape Coral businesses will have to boil water after a pipe burst earlier Wednesday morning. A contractor accidentally hit the pipe near Backstreets Sports Bar.
The city had to shut off water along a section of Southeast 47th Terrace, in between Vincennes Boulevard and SE 9th Place.
Wednesday's work turned the front of Backstreets Bar into a construction zone of mud and water.
"I had to go through mud to get in here, and I was afraid, I had to walk way around. We probably wouldn't have stopped here had we known, but I'm glad we did," said patron Anni Kunkel.
Backstreets is one of 23 businesses affected after a contractor accidentally hit this six inch pipe. "A lot of workers working. The waitress told us no water," said another patron.
"A crew was doing a directional drill, I believe for a gas line. They tried to locate the water main, they thought they found it at 5 foot deep, it was just a little shallower," said Assistant Superintendent of Utilities Collection, Distribution David Vallandingham.
Backstreets' owner says her businesses is coping as best it can by using bottled water.
No homes are affected, only businesses.
The city hopes to lift the boil water notice by the end of the week.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- Andrew Rowsey scored 23 points and UNC Asheville beat Charleston Southern 82-71 Wednesday night.
With the game tied at 25, UNC Asheville closed the opening period with a 20-1 run to take a 45-16 lead into the break. The Buccaneers (11-15, 5-8 Big South) finished the half by going 0 for 7 from the field with four turnovers.

It would seem that once was enough for Toyota North America President Yoshimi Inaba. Just weeks after the top Toyota executive went before a congressional hearing in the United States, The Globe and Mail is reporting that Inaba has turned down a similar invitation to appear before the Canadian government. The topic of conversation? Why, the massive Toyota recall efforts and safety, of course.
Officials for the Harper Administration in Canada are expressing a great deal of disappointment at the apparent snub, with Merv Tweed, the Conservative MP chairing the Toyota committee, going so far as to say that Inaba's no-show would amount to a slight to the Canadian government and people, suggesting that Toyota perceives that the "American market is more important."
The Canadian government reportedly plans to once again request that Inaba attend its hearings. If Toyota refuses the request, parliament could issue a subpoena to Inaba, though the Toyota executive neither lives nor works in Canada, meaning he could potentially avoid the summons by keeping out of the country entirely.
For its part, Toyota Canada claims it does not report to Inaba and notes that CEO Yoichi Tomihara and managing director Stephen Beatty will attend on behalf of the company.
UPDATE: Despite continuing to insist that Toyota North America President Yoshimi Inaba has no responsibility for matters regarding recall and safety issues in Canada, Toyota has relented and Inaba will appear before the Parliament of Canada today.

My Favorite Movies #84 – Toy Story
When I showed my list of 100 Favorite Movies to a friend of mine, he looked at one of the entries and noted with disappointment that there would be anime on the list. Hell yeah, there's anime on the list, I thought. Animation has long been a love of mine. And even though most of the movies on this list are live-action, there are some animated features that capture a special kind of magic that moves me deeply. I can't say that I am particularly enamored of animation over live-action films, or of anime over Western animation…to me, it's all different ways to tell different kinds of stories. None of them are perfectly suited for all stories, and the ones that work really well do so for the same reason why any great story works really well – because of the unique chemistry between story, storyteller, medium and audience. At this point in my list, we have come to my first animated feature to make my 100 Favorite Movies. And it sure won't be the last, either. But I think at this point, it's important to spare a moment to talk about what it is about animation that I find so moving, what traditions of animation I have watched over the years, and why some schools of animation work for me while others just don't.
I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, and it is no surprise that many of my most favorite movies are from that period in the late 1980s and early 1990s when it first became feasible for you to own large libraries of movies that you could watch over and over again. I have tried to explain to my children that in my early childhood, when a movie hit the theatres…that was it. If you missed it in the theatres, you missed it, period. Oh, sure, you might catch a repeat screening of it on television (heavily edited for time and content…BARF) or you might get really lucky and score a private viewing somewhere from somebody with the projector equipment and who spring to rent a print of something good. (My local swimming pool had movies nights for just this purpose, and even though the movies were second rate, to see them outside of a theatre was a huge experience. When people talk about the magic of cinema, these are the kinds of things they are talking about.) Why do I mention this? Because for me, there was a Golden Age of Animation that were all of those Disney classics that all came and went before I ever got a chance to see them in the theatre. They were the movies that as a kid, i saw referenced at Disney World and on Wide World of Disney, but could never actually see. THey were all part of this gigantic mythos that I was supposed to understand as a kid as being the apex of modern mythmaking, and yet, they always felt like they were at arm's length. I wanted to see them, but I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried. (Incidentally, this is a big reason why I am not nearly as offended by movie piracy as I ought to be; much of it is simply users having the technology to get around producers' ability to create artificial scarcity; Hollywood can surely find a business model that embraces piracy and makes it work to its own ends, but so far it has not proved to be clever enough. Ah, well. That is a topic for another discussion entirely.
Into this first camp of animation falls pretty much every one of Disney's animated theatrical releases: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940), Dumbo (1941), Bambi (1942), The Three Caballeros (1944), Cinderella (1950), Alice in Wonderland (1951), Peter Pan (1953), Lady and the Tramp (1955), Sleeping Beauty (1959), One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), The Sword in the Stone (1963), The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), Robin Hood (1973), and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977).
For the most part, these were all movies that I knew about, but never really knew. That Disney has this annoying habit of making the movies commercially available for brief stretches of time only made it more difficulty to get my hands on copies, and most of these, I never really got to see until I was watching them with my young children. More on that later.
The next bloc of films were those Disney movies I could see in the theatre, but during that time when I needed my folks to bring me there. This is a touchy time in any kids' movie-watching career, because not only are you constrained logistically from seeing movies, but the movies you want to see need your parents' approval. And when your dad just didn't give a fig about movies, as mine did, getting to see a flick was twice as hard. At the same time, Disney's animation efforts hit a rough patch as the studio focused more on the kinds of live-action movies that I suppose were a lot cheaper to produce, but were fairly forgettable in the long run. Not surprisingly, the actual number of Disney animated movies that came out during this time were few and far between, but I ended up seeing every one. The Rescuers, I remember mostly for the gloomy atmosphere, and as one of the first movies I ever saw. The Fox and the Hound broke my goddamned heart, and was the first story I remember where there isn't always a happy ending. (This was always a sticking point with my mom, who never liked the fact that in any Disney movie, there is never a whole family, and there is almost always the death of a parent involved.) I saw The Fox and the Hound around the same time I saw an animated feature on HBO called A Mouse and His Child, a weird, dark story about two wind-up toy mice trying to survive in a harsh world. There was a moment in that movie where the bad guy smashes our heroes to pieces with a rock, and I remember my brother and I bawling – I mean, just bawling – in horror over it. My mother openly wondered why the movie was rated G. All I can say is that the movie sure made an impression on me.
Anyway, this bloc of movies is rounded off by The Black Cauldon (1985; alright), The Great Mouse Detectives (1986; if you put a gun to my dog's head and told me to recall the plot, I'd be out a dog) and Oliver & Company (1988; it had all the right pieces, but they never came together right). This was a depressing time to be a Disney fan. You definitely got the feeling of an empire on the wane; like the greatest animated movies that would ever be produced already had been produced, and yet were not for me to watch. No wonder I fell so head-over-heels in love with the anime on at the time, like Star Blazers, Voltron and Robotech. I had nowhere else to go, so Disney only had itself to blame.
The next bloc, things improved radically. First, there was the Great Disney Revival that began with The Little Mermaid (1989) when Disney finally returns to form with a classic children's tale set to some of the most awesome music to hit a movie in quite a long time. Disney knew it had a hit-making machine on its hands and in short order the same team turned out a few more modern classics – Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992) and The Lion King (1994) – before losing the beat. Later movies such as Pocahontas (1995), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), Hercules (1997), Mulan (1998) and Tarzan (1999) all tried to mine that same vein that made The Little Mermaid and its ilk such great movies, but they all failed for one reason or another. That the musical team that wrote the earlier films was no longer together surely played a large part, and as if to compensate for the missing music, these later movies tried to double down on animation wizardry, big action set pieces, and spectacle. The end result was that the movies all just felt like they were trying too hard. And they were. It was dispiriting to see. The movies weren't terrible, but they weren't great, either.
But this was also the era when Pixar debuted. And for as much as it hurt to see Disney lose its way yet again, it didn't matter because you knew that you were witnessing the birth of a new canon of animation that would be referenced years and years into the future. It began with Toy Story (1995; a movie that has a soft spot in my heart because it is the movie that my wife and I went to see together on our first date), A Bug's Life (1998), and Toy Story 2 (1999). These three movies were just magic. They were wickedly clever in ways that no Disney movie ever were or ever could be. They looked incredible, using cutting-edge computer animation that boggled the mind. They were smart, using a kind of disciplined writing that respected the audience's intelligence and never once pulled punches or punched down. The writing in the average Pixar movie stands head and shoulders over pretty much every other family animation film ever made.
My wife and I had our daughter in 2000, and our son in 2003, so for the next four years, the movies I saw were with an eye toward what I might want to show my kids soon. Again, Disney produced more misses than hits during this time, and of Fantasia (2000), The Tigger Movie (2000), Dinosaur (2000), The Emperior's New Groove (2000), Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), Return to Never Land (2002), Lilo & Stitch (2002), Treasure Planet (2002), The Jungle Book 2 (2003), Piglet's Big Movie (2003), Brother Bear (2003) and Teacher's Pet), the only ones I really enjoyed were Dinosaur and Lilo & Stitch. Meanwhile, Pixar kept killing it with Monsters, Inc. (2001) and Finding Nemo (2003), making a greater collective splash with just those two films than the rest of Disney's output combined. Home on the Range (2004) was the first Disney flick we took our kids to see in the theatre, and we were sufficiently underwhelmed to reserve our theatre goings for PIxar films, and introducing our kids to the Disney back catalog on disc at home. There were plenty of movies to sustain even the most voracious young viewer, and while a procession of forgettable animation efforts came and went from Disney, I was having the time of my life, seeing movies like Snow White, Dumbo, The Aristocats and Robin Hood for the first time alongside my little ones. That was the kind of movie-watching experience you only get once. I consider myself fortunate that I got to have it. Not everybody does.
During this time, we saw the Pixar movie hit its peak, with The Incredibles (2004), Cars (2006), Ratatouille (2007), WALL-E (2008) and Toy Story 3 (2010). I have to take it on faith that Toy Story 3 was as good as everybody tells me. I still have not summoned the courage to see it. I love the Toy Story movies so much, and after the absolute kick in the gonads that was the first several minutes of Up, I had no appetite to have Pixar's storytellers remove my heart right in front of me and break it into pieces. I just couldn't. And Mom, if you're reading this blog, you know how I always used to give you grief for not reading the last Hercule Poirot novel because you knew Poirot dies at the end? I take it all back, and I apologize.
Right around this time, I guess Disney figured its only hope was to buy Pixar outright, and that brings us to the current era, which starts with Tangled (2010), where Disney was openly aping Pixar. The completely unnecessary Cars 2 (2011) showed that somebody at Disney was pulling Pixar's strings, which bode ill. Then came Brave (2012) the first truly collaborative effort from a Disney that owned Pixar outright. You could see the difference. Brave isn't a bad movie. It's a terrific movie. But that spark that made Pixar movies uniquely Pixar was gone. This was Disney doing a Pixar movie, or Pixar doing a Disney movie, I couldn't quite tell. Wreck-It Ralph (2012) was a big improvement, and a loving paean to old skool video games and their players (folks my age). Monsters University (2013) looked like a hollow exercise, so I skipped it as well as Planes (2013). Frozen (2013) was way more popular among my kids than it was me, and while the movie has much to commend it (including an outstanding updating of the "damsel-in-distress"/"true love saves the day storyline"), it never hit me right in the heart the way that first barrage of Pixar movies did. At long last, I feel like I can look back at Pixar Phase One and say with some finality that they are a bunch of movies that stand apart in history, never again to be repeated.
What makes these Pixar movies so incredible is how they are written, and sometime in 2012, when I guess it was clear to everybody at Pixar that the Disney buyout was going to change things, a Pixar storyboard artist named Emma Coats published on Twitter some of the guiding principles that she had picked up from working at PIxar over the years. These have been compiled and republished on any number of sites, such as here, here and here.
A lot of this is really just elementary story writing. But In an age when everybody can self-publish, it's easy for folks to convince themselves so utterly that they are the Next Big Thing, and basic stuff like this somehow comes across like long-buried secrets of writing wisdom. Don't get me wrong – I love these points. I refer back to them. But they are also what you get when you work hard among a lot of extremely talented people who are not going to blow smoke about how good you are. PIxar set its own stakes impossibly high and then reached them again and again. It's like the same mania that drove Steve Jobs to create the hardware that he created also rubbed off when he founded Pixar, except in the craft of telling stories rather than in the craft of making computers. I dunno…maybe it's not so crazy. Jobs was all about a next-level user experience, and narratively, these early Pixar films really delivered that.
So after a nearly 3,000-word preamble, let's get to the movie that holds my vaunted spot on my 100 Favorite Movie. Because for as much as I love Pixar movies, what makes them all so great is also what makes them more or less the same. Individual Pixar movies stand apart as exemplars of a particular kind of story – Toy Story is a great story about growing up, Finding Nemo is a great story about being lost and far from home, The Incredibles is a great story about what it means to live up to your potential, Up is a great story about ME CRYING BY DAMNED EYES OUT THERE I GO AGAIN DAMMIT
But those wonderful story-writing principles I linked to above? They also render a weird kind of homogeneity to those early Pixar movies. They all tell wonderful stories. But in a way that i can't quite put my finger on, they all kind of tell them in the same way. You know how all Spielberg movies kind of feel the same, kind of….Spielbergy? Same thing. The Pixar feel that is part of these movies' excellence also holds them back from any one of them standing out as a truly legendary piece of cinema. At least…to me. As much as I love these things, after a while I got the feeling that they were all riffing off of a template, and that took some of the shine off of them. And that is why I have collected them into a single entry on my list rather than gave all of them separate consideration. On their own, Toy Story, The Incredibles and WALL-E would all have gotten their own entries, but what would have gotten each of them was essentially the same thing, and when it comes to how these writers all affect me as a writer, that is where their individual merits start to break down.
That said, these are freaking amazing movies, and I love them all because in many ways, PIxar movies are the kind of animation movies I have been waiting for all my life. They touch upon the timeless themes that make the earliest Disney classics so immortal. They employ a modern sense of storytelling and humor that speaks to me natively. And they are a visual splendor that really celebrates what makes animation so special in the first place – the medium has unlimited range of imagination, but it requires an insane amount of work to get there. The very act of creating any kind of animation is a true labor of love, moreso, I speculate, than traditional film making (which is a Herculean task in its own right.)
If I had to list just one Pixar movie, then it would be Toy Story, the one that got the ball rolling, and the one that still stands apart from its peers as a movie of special significance. The one that built the template that PIxar returned to so successfully time and again. This movie utterly nailed that fear any kid has that their toys might really have feelings. Sometimes, this turns into a creepy feeling, but more commonly, it's a fear that they might be lonely or sad when left behind, that they might feel pain when they are mistreated, and that when you outgrow them, they might still have love in their heart for you. Through these themes, Toy Story touches upon a lot of central Disney themes, such as the pain of growing up, the challenge of a broken fellowship, and the reality that sometimes our family is not entirely comprised of those to whom we are related. The relationship between Woody and Buzz is pitch-perfect as that the classic rivalry-turned-friendship. The plight of the other toys raises some very real stakes for the story, and never has a simple house moving have we cared so much that everything ends up in its proper place at the end of the day.
The movie's treatment of Sid, the local psychopath who destroys his toys strikes a deep moral tone, for who among us hasn't done to their toys (perhaps less maniacally) what Sid did to his? The only difference is that deep down, we can still see those toys as a Woody or Buzz that just wanted us to be happy, and we betrayed that. We are all both Andy and Sid, and as we grow up, and begin to gain the kind of power that lets us affect the lives of others, can determine for ourselves how we will use it. Will be include and nurture, as Andy's mom does? Or will we casually destroy as Sid does? When we have our failings, as Woody and Buzz both did with their jealously and arrogance, will we do what needs to be done to make amends? Or will we tell ourselves that what is done is done, and not undertake that quiet heroism of seeking to repair the damage we leave in our wake?
There is a lot of heady stuff in Toy Story, and that doesn't even get into the grand unification theories that tie it together with all other Pixar movies, an exercise I have never really gotten into myself, but which I commend. Any time a family of movies so captivates its audience that those same viewers are desperate to see if there is something more to these stories they have already taken in a dozen times…well, then you know you've done something right.
When I write stories, I don't necessarily want to write Pixar stories. These tales have a certain outlook and approach and tone that is unto themselves, and something I would much rather see than practice. Besides, I couldn't do it with any authenticity anyway, and while imitation might be the sincerest form of flattery, it's also the sincerest way to bugger your own craft.
But what I do strive for is that effect those early Pixar movies had over me, of instilling a sense of wonder about the setting, of admiration for the cleverness of it all, and of the sense that throughout it all, love wins. Because if PIxar was crystal clear about one thing it was that: love wins. Love always wins. You see it in every Pixar movie worthy of the name, in different ways, shapes and forms. But you especially see it in Toy Story, more than all others. And considering how much love is in the average Pixar movie, that is no small thing, indeed.
And that, my friends, is why Toy Story is one of my favorite movies.

For more than 30 years, states have been finding new ways to care for aged and disabled Medicaid beneficiaries without confining them to nursing homes.
In fact, the number of people living in skilled nursing facilities has declined significantly over the last decade, despite a marked increase in the ranks of the elderly in the U.S.
Starting this year, a new federal rule will require states to ensure that long-term care alternatives to nursing homes—such as assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, group homes and adult day care—work with residents and their families to develop individual care plans specifying the services and setting each resident wants.
The overarching goal is to create a "home-like" atmosphere, rather than an institutional one.
While nearly everyone supports the concept, states, providers and even some consumer advocates are complaining that the rule could make it difficult for health care providers to fulfill increasing demand for long-term care outside of nursing homes.
Under the rule, for example, elderly people with dementia who enter assisted living facilities should not be subjected to constraints, such as locked exits, unless they are at risk for wandering.
But if they share living space with other residents with dementia who do need to be prevented from wandering, it will be difficult to allow them to leave the building whenever they want without jeopardizing the safety of others.
"The goal was completely laudable," said Martha Roherty, director of the National Association of States United for Aging and Disabilities, which works to help elders and people with disabilities live in their communities for as long as possible.
"Unfortunately, what's happened is that it is limiting individuals' choice of what and where to receive (long-term care) services rather than broadening it, especially as it relates to seniors," she said. Continue reading

Memorial Fund
Reddick's parents request that donations be made to a memorial scholarship fund in her honor.
Checks should be made payable to the "Dawn Reddick Scholarship Fund". Letters, donations and condolences should be sent to:
Mr. and Mrs. James Reddick
11528 Little Brighton Ct.
Glen Allen, VA 23059
August 1, 2011
A funeral service for Dawn Reddick will be held Sunday, August 7th, at County LIne Baptist Church in Kent's Store at 1 p.m.
July 31, 2011
Clark Elementary School is grieving the loss of Dawn Reddick, a third-grade teacher killed in a drive-by shooting in Newark, N.J.
"We have to remember her smile, her love for children, her genuine love for education and how to get her students to be shining stars like she was," said Leah Puryear, chair of the Charlottesville School Board.
Coworkers, students and parents are reflecting on a teacher gone, murdered in a senseless act.
"Her life was education. That was Dawn's passion, and that passion isn't here anymore," Puryear said.
Reddick was one of four people shot in a drive-by shooting Friday around 9 p.m. in Newark, N.J. She died from her injuries Saturday. Reddick, a Golden Apple Award winner, was visiting family when an unknown suspect fired the shots at Maple and Hansbury Avenues.
"She brought about a calming effect," Puryear said. "Her students learned, she expected a lot out of them, they achieved."
Within the walls at Clark Elementary, Reddick touched hundreds of students during her time with the school. Now, those students have a chance to reflect on a teacher whose impact will never be forgotten.
"She, in my mind, is the type of instructor that years from now, the students would say, 'Ms. Reddick said this,' or, 'When I was in third grade, I learned that.'"
A Facebook page dedicated to Reddick is attracting comments of remembrance, calling her a dedicated teacher and a true angel. The page reports memorial services are planned for later in the week in Newark.
Teachers at Clark Elementary were briefed Saturday about Reddick's death in a special meeting. School officials say the crisis plan is in effect to offer parents and students the resources they need to cope with tragedy.
July 30, 2011
The Charlottesville City School community is in shock, mourning the sudden death of a 3rd grade teacher.
Dawn Reddick was shot Friday night while visiting family in Newark, New Jersey. Reddick died Saturday from her injuries.
A spokeswoman for the City school system says Reddick was a 3rd grade teacher at Clark Elementary. She was described as a "star teacher". Reddick was the winner of the 2011 Golden Apple Award and was nominated by her peers and parents at Clark. The school staff has been notified of the incident.
A total of 4 people, including a child, were shot during the incident in Newarks' South Ward neighborhood.

I´m close to feeling just like I did on election nights of 2008 and 2012. Except this is the ´conservative´ party.

Perhaps a strange idea will rise. Stay home. Don´t vote for a RINO. Let the Dem win and serve only one term.Voting a RINO in is virtually the same thing now, and then we might be able to defeat the ´placeholder´ Dem the next time around while getting these entrenched "fake conservatives" in lib clothing out of there.They must listen to the will of the people--and quit trying to ride the "we like to spend other people´s money" train.This is unsustainable madness! And ol´ Mitch wants to bring in 20 million illegal squatters to have to pay for! I´m sure some will end up paying taxes, but there are so few jobs--What happens when the squatters don´t want to do ´those´ jobs anymore?

I have voted for a lot of people who were not my first choice. We can´t always get our favorites to the finish. The suggestion of not voting so the Democrat can win is so self-defeating that it defies logic. I can imagine only one circumstance in which I would not exercise my right to vote. That would be the controlled elections of those nations who lost their freedoms. We can´t let it happen here. No matter how unhappy you might be about the names on the ballot, please VOTE!

How bad is it when stupido-politico assumes it´s an insult when they call GOP candidates "self-funding" and "establishment" and some "conservatives" agree with that? Personally, I believe every WIN by the GOP is a WIN for this country. Voters who want to "sit" ANY election out can take the credit for what is going on now. IMO, the time for snark is over and it is time to get out the VOTE. We have got to get our country back! Children take their marbles and go home. Adults play to WIN! Good Grief!

If you don´t like the primary results why not use your considerable talents and energy to change things from WITHIN the GOP instead of threatening revenge? Why can´t you find a venue to fight the *system*---not your allies? Why do you think that electing a Demo would do anything other than to increase the number of Demos in Congress?? Do you think it´s possible your revenge threats are being encouraged behind the scenes by the liberals or the MSM?

In a non-expose of the depravity of Major League Eating, Slate calls the Fourth of July hot-dog-eating contest the moment that captures the depravity of our age and wonders why salt fighter Bloomberg would endorse an event in which the governments sodium intake recommendations are exceeded in 30 seconds. Stephen Colbert doesnt see the harm. He celebrated the sacred contest in his Thought for Food segment last night. Hes also excited about the latest stunt sandwich, the Friendlys grilled-cheese burger melt, which (in using two grilled-cheese sandwiches as burger buns) steals the thunder of KFCs new Doublicious (taste tested on Serious Eats today). Its an even more blechtacular version of the Cheeseburger Club we marveled over a year ago, or as Colbert puts it, Its like your lunch and two other peoples lunches are having a threeway in your mouth.

Tackle. Scrum (development) Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile software development framework for managing software projects and product or application development.
It defines "a flexible, holistic product development strategy where a development team works as a unit to reach a common goal". It challenges assumptions of the "traditional, sequential approach" to product development. Scrum enables teams to self-organize by encouraging physical co-location or close online collaboration of all team members and daily face to face communication among all team members and disciplines in the project.

The exhibit walls are painted in Benjamin Moore colors such as Silken Blue, Mystic Lake and Antiqued Aqua reminiscent of the jeweled tones of the ocean. The vibrato of Edith Piaf singing "La Vie En Rose" echoes through the gallery. The exhibit begins with a quote by the French poet Charles Baudelaire challenging the painters of the late 1860's to "[m]ake us understand, with brush or with pencil, how great and poetic we are in our cravats and leather boots." The French Impressionists succeeded by depicting French modern life as vibrant and enchanting.
On view are portraits, scenes of daily life, still lifes, landscapes, interiors, and of course ballerinas. The styles may differ from artist to artist, but each contributes to the distinct characteristics of the Impressionist movement. The long, thin brushstrokes of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures the indifferent gaze of a seated dancer.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir applies thick layers of paint to canvas in order to illustrate the forceful and choppy movement of a rogue wave.

Camille Pissarro foreshadows Pointillism and uses small patches of pure colors to recreate the scene of a small orchard as viewed from his studio window.

One drawback is that there isn't a catalogue for this exhibit. The museum store offers a book about the Dixon Gallery that features reproductions of some of the works in the exhibit, but there isn't one specifically for it. However, the collaborative efforts of the Speed Museum and the Dixon Gallery & Gardens have created an exhibit that you will want to return to again and again.
Enjoy the experience of Renoir to Chagall: Paris and the Allure of Color beginning Friday, February 3rd through May 6th at the Speed Museum. Admission to this special exhibit is $5 for members, $15 for non-members. Children under 18 are admitted free to the exhibition with the purchase of an adult exhibition ticket.

Alpha Phi Sigma
Alpha Phi Sigma:
The National Criminal Justice Honor Society
In September, 1941, Dr. Vivian Anderson Leonard was asked by the president of Washington State University if he would accept the directorship of a Police Science Academic Program at Washington State. Dr. Leonard accepted the offer and became responsible for developing a four year curriculum which would lead to a Bachelor's Degree in Police Administration.
Upon his arrival at Washington State, Dr. Leonard began to realize how important it was that a Police Science Honorary be established. The purpose of this honorary would be to promote excellence in scholarship and performance. In January, 1942, Dr. Leonard met with seventeen Police Science majors at Washington state and Alpha Phi Sigma was established. Glenn Hill was elected as the first president and appointed a committee to draft the first Constitution and By-laws.
During its initial years Alpha Phi Sigma experienced only limited growth, but on March 24, 1976 in Dallas, Texas, the Executive Board of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences voted unanimously to designate Alpha Phi Sigma as the National Criminal Justice Honor Society. At this time, Alpha Phi Sigma had only fourteen chapters; however, since then, Alpha Phi Sigma has continued to grow and prosper at a very rapid rate and there are now over three hundred and sixty Chapters.
Over the years the National Officers have been located at Universities across the country, such as, Washington State University, Midwestern State University, Eastern Kentucky University, Texas Woman's University, Fairmont State College, Marshall University, Tarleton State University, Florida International University, Boise State University, University of Houston ~ Downtown.
Academy of Criminal Justice Science Affiliation
At the 1976 meeting of the Academy of Criminal Justice Science in Dallas, Texas, the Academy recognized Alpha Phi Sigma as the Criminal Justice Honor Society. Since 1978, Alpha Phi Sigma has held its national conference in conjunction with the annual ACJS meeting. The Academy's continued support of Alpha Phi Sigma serves to enhance Alpha Phi Sigma's purpose - the recognition of scholarly achievement in the field criminal justice.
Member of the Association of College Honor Societies
The Association of College Honor Societies was organized October 2, 1925, by a group of college and university teachers, administrators, and representatives of a few well-established honor societies. Its object was then and is now to consider problems of mutual interest such as those arising from the confusion prevailing on college campuses concerning the character, function, standards of membership, multiplicity, and undesirable duplication of honor societies; to recommend action leading to appropriate classification or elimination; and to promote the highest interest of honor societies. Alpha Phi Sigma was granted membership by the Association of College Honor Societies in 1980.
Requirements of Alpha Phi Sigma
Alpha Phi Sigma is the nationally recognized honor society for students in the Criminal Justice sciences. The society recognizes academic excellence by undergraduates as well as graduates of Criminal Justice.
To become a member, the student must have completed one-third of their total hours required for graduation at his/her institution. The student must be recommended, to Nationals, by the chapter advisor.
Undergraduate students must maintain a minimum of 3.2 overall GPA on a 4.0 scale in Criminal Justice courses. The student must also rank in the top 35% of their classes and have completed a minimum of four courses within the Criminal Justice curriculum. The Honor Society is open to those with a declared Criminal Justice major or minor.
Graduate students are required to maintain a minimum of a 3.4 GPA in both Criminal Justice courses and overall courses, on a 4.0 scale. Student must have completed a minimum of four courses within the Criminal Justice curriculum.
Law students enrolled in law school, having completed one academic year, with a grade point average of 2.5 or higher, on a 4.0 scale.

Another YN460 mod
For me, an ideal strobist flash would be an extremely cheap manual flash that you can control remotely. Extremely cheap and remote control?! I am surely asking too much! But why is that too much to ask? It doesn't even have to be RF control - it can be IR. All that the manufacturer has to do is to add a IR demodulator chip (probably something like $0.1 when bought in large quantities) and make a slight firmware change to the flash uC (almost free). The Chinese IR remotes are something like $2-$3 so they could sell a remote-control-enabled flash basically without raising the price! When in 2010 someone like David Hobby, who is very passionate about the use of a manual flash and who can probably afford any flash he likes, has to walk a few meters and lower the light stand just to change the flash power.... and the cheap remote technology has been around for more than 20 years... it certainly seems like a huge missed opportunity.
To prove the point I have set out to build a cheap IR remote for my YN460 flash. Here is the result:
And here is my circuit diagram:
As you can see, the circuit is extremely simple. It's based on the excellent picaxe micro-controller. Now, before you freak out that that is way over your head, know that I knew nothing about micro-controllers before starting this project. The picaxe is really simple to work with as it was basically designed for kids to use The manuals are excellently written with people that know next to nothing about electronics in mind.
Actually, the only part of the circuit that is YN460-specific is the solder points on the flash. If you have some other flash that also uses a two buttons to set the flash power level than it's more than likely that you can use this same circuit to remote control it. Solder points 1 and 2 are the positive side of the said buttons and the point 3 is the negative side. The circuit simply simulates the pressing of a button (any button you connect it to).
The parts for the whole project shouldn't cost you more than about $10-$20.
All the parts can be ordered from the TechSupplies:
Transistor: 3X http://www.techsupplies.co.uk/epages...roducts/TRT001
Picaxe: 1X http://www.techsupplies.co.uk/epages...oducts/AXE007M

Capacitor: 1X (4u7) http://www.techsupplies.co.uk/epages...roducts/CAP004

1X (10k 100pc) http://www.techsupplies.co.uk/epages...lectSubProduct
1X (33k 100pc) http://www.techsupplies.co.uk/epages...lectSubProduct
1X (470R 100pc) http://www.techsupplies.co.uk/epages...lectSubProduct
These parts are not exactly the same as the ones I used but they should be compatible. The IR receiver TSOP1138 that I used is a bit too large (though it's probably a bit more sensitive). The one linked above should work just fine.
You'll also need some way to download the program to the picaxe. How to do this can be found in the picaxe manual 1: http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/docs/da...xe_manual1.pdf
Basically what you will need is another 20k resistor, either USB or serial picaxe download cable, a 3.5mm stereo connector and a breadboard though you could probably get away with only a DIY cable (if you have a serial port).
The trick is to try to solder the circuit to be as small as possible because there is not much room inside the flash so I don't recommend the PCB approach but a 'dead-bug' soldering style that I have used. Don't know about the YN460-II (it's got a slave detector in front) but on the YN460 you can get significantly more space if you make a large rectangular hole below a fake IR window.
Here you can download the BASIC program (firmware) for the picaxe:
If you have and problems with picaxe programming (after you have read the excellent manuals), this is a great place to ask for help:
The receiver will respond only to the Sony TV remote (or any universal remote set to Sony mode). This is a picaxe limitation and can not easily be changed.
Some inexpensive remote recommendations:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2684 - shown in the video
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2663 - this is the one I am currently using, though they have sent me a white version I so had to tape it with a black sticky tape so it would match my RF flash trigger. The IR remote's size is conveniently the same as the RF trigger's so I have it permanently mounted on top of it:
A few notes on the firmware usage:
One of the problems I have tried to solve is the circuit power consumption. As there is no separate power switch for the circuit, it's connected all the time to the flash batteries and will drain them eventually. It minimise this power drain I have made it possible to completely cut off the power to the IR demodulator and also put the picaxe in a low power state.
To reset the receiver to it's initial (standby) condition, open and close the battery cover. The LED should start blinking. You have 5 minutes to send any IR code to the flash (doesn't even have to be Sony TV code). If no signal is received in 5 minutes, the receiver will shut off at which point you would have to again open the battery cover if you want to use it.
Once the first code is received, the receiver switches to 'ON' mode in which it continually scans for the Sony IR remote codes. It understands these codes:
Vol + increase power by one stop
Vol - decrease power by one stop
Mute turn the LED off for 5 seconds (useful for programing some universal remotes)
Power put the receiver in the OFF state
1-7 directly set the flash power level
When a valid code is received the LED momentarily turns off and on again to indicate that the action has been taken.
The range I am getting is quite good - about 15-20m direct line of sight. In a typical room with a white walls no line of sight is required - a bounce from a wall works just fine.
It should be extremely easy to modify the picaxe program to use a different set of keys so you can control two sets of modified flashlights with the same mini IR remote (one set would use ch+/ch- keys).
If you've got any questions, feel free to ask either in this thread or on the picaxe forum.

Re: Another YN460 mod
woo, I was thinking of doing something like this with cheap manual flashes. Didn't think about doing it w/ IR. I thought it would be cool to use bluetooth and make a cell app on Android or something. It's overkill but bluetooth is everywhere now a days, heh.
Anyways, how did you hook up the controls? Did you just latch onto the switches from the back?

Re: Another YN460 mod
Connecting the controls was surprisingly easy. YN460 pcb has easy-to-soldier contacts precisely for those two buttons! I trigger the buttons with a two transistors. You have to dissemble the flash body, though. The tricky part was making the circuit small enough to fit inside.

Re: Another YN460 mod
Maybe I'll even get this:
and mount it on top of my RF trigger IMHO, this is the kind of functionality that YN flashes should have out-of-the-box.
