The Greek Orthodox Church in Grand Forks
May 6, 2013 § Leave a comment
Since this is the Monday after Easter for my Greek Orthodox friends, I thought it was a good time to post something on the Greek Orthodox church in Grand Forks, North Dakota. One of the first things that I noticed when I got to know something about the community here in Grand Forks was the conspicuous absence of any substantial Greek population. There was no Greek church (or any kind of Orthodox congregation) and no obvious Greek names in community lore (and no Greek restaurants, businesses, or organizations). Despite the far reach of the Greek immigrant community, Grand Forks appeared to be one of the few places that did not attract a Greek population.
The agricultural economy of the region, the absence of manufactory and extractive industries, and the inhospitable climate probably could explain the absence of substantial Greek community (although one does exist in larger communities in the region like Winnipeg to the north and Duluth to the east and a church dedicated to St. Peter the Aluet serves the Greek community (as well as others) in Minot to the west.). It is worth noting, however, that the state did see Syrian, Lebanese, and Jewish communities around the turn of the century.
Moreover, a little digging in the archives at the University of North Dakota by Daniel Sauerwein, indicated that a Greek community did exist in town, even though few traces remain. In the process of researching for a book, Daniel found a few images of the Greek church. The church was apparently moved to the corner of 4th Avenue and Walnut St. in 1958 and it functioned until 1990.
We're pretty sure that this is an image of the building's interior.
The building itself was wood-framed, as one might expect, and modest in size and adornment. It is difficult to know for certain whether the Greek Orthodox community built the church new or moved into a structure built for another congregation. The absence of a steeple suggests that it might have been build for the Orthodox congregation. The church stood in the neighborhood known as Churchville and was immediately adjacent to the much more imposing United Lutheran Church and nearby the Beaux Arts (with more than a few hints of Byzantine influence) Christian Science Church. My guess is that this little church served the entire Orthodox community in the area.
I am sure some members of the community can add to what we know about this building and it congregation (since we know next to nothing!). I have to think that some of the reason that we know so little about this church and its community is that the building has vanished.
So, if you can add more to the story, leave a comment or hit me with a tweet. Thanks to Daniel Sauerwein for keeping his eyes peeled for information on this little community and their church! (And you'll be hearing more about Daniel's researches in the fall, so stay tuned!)
Historical Landscapes on Naxos
April 18, 2013 § Leave a comment
One of the benefits of a day spent traveling is that I get to catch up on my embarrassing backlog of reading. The first article on this stack (pulling them from the bottom of the pile as always) was J. Crow, S. Turner, and A. Vionis, "Characterizing the Historical Landscapes of Naxos," JMA 24 (2011) 111-137. This relatively short article makes the case for using Historical Landscape Characterization or HLC to describe and structure historic landscapes in the Eastern Mediterranean. The authors apply this method to the island of Naxos and attempt to isolate features of the Byzantine, Medieval, and post Medieval landscapes.
The basic methods of HLC stipulate that each area on a map be given a certain place within a historical typology of landscape. The types available are standardized and range from the almost descriptive (rough ground) to the more interpretative (prehistorical enclosures). The goal of HLC is to produce a stratified map of a landscape suitable for describing historically significant landscapes at a meaningful scale. Generally, archaeologists produce these maps in response to issues of heritage management in the U.K., but the method is sufficiently robust and flexible to be exported to archaeological projects elsewhere. The types present in any particular landscape would vary, of course, according to scale and method for producing the HLC.
As Vionis and company have noted, this HLC analysis could be a particularly valuable method for framing Mediterranean historic landscapes and preparing regions for study by more intensive means. The study of Naxos, for example, depended upon historical aerial and satellite photographs, documentary sources, results of excavations and surveys on Naxos, and some, albeit limited, autopsy. This work was able to identify, for example, the relationship between "braided terraces" and Medieval churches and to suggest that certain parts of the landscape retained some key pre-modern features. Vionis was able to argue on the basis of HLC and field survey that the regions around seemingly isolated churches were likely productive agriculturally on the basis of historical proximity. While the arguments made on the basis of these large scale HLC techniques will never satisfy scholars who see excavation as the only method for producing knowledge about the past, this method of classifying a landscape represents a tool for larger scale work. At the same time, Vionis et al. recognized that their work was provisional and by producing it in GIS database they ensured that it could be updated, disseminated, and republished as more data became available.
I can immediately see the utility of using HLC methods to describe landscapes prior to intensive pedestrian survey and to produce a set of hypotheses that survey or excavation would test. It also provides a method for describing a more extensive landscape that provides context for the area documented through intensive survey. For example, I think these methods could be particularly useful for the southeastern Corinthia where we have worked to describe an early modern settlement at the site of Lakka Skoutara in the region of Sophiko. We have a significant body of landscape data from the Sophiko region both from several intensive surveys, extensive surveys, and architectural and feature studies, including a new dissertation that dates argues for a Bronze Age date of terrace walls in the region. It would also be an appealing way to approach the landscape of western North Dakota.
Things Fall Apart
April 4, 2013 § 1 Comment
I know I'm a few weeks late on this, but I heard that Chinua Achebe died on March 21st. His greatest novel, Things Fall Apart, inspired my dissertation research.
As most readers of this blog know, I wrote my dissertation (defended 10 years ago!) on Early Christian basilicas in Central and Southern Greece. In Achebe's novel the building and development of the little church in the Evil Forest represented the intrusion of the colonial of the missionary. Achebe is explicit. With the church came government, the disruption of traditional life, and ultimately spiritual and physical violence.
At the beginning of Chatper 16:
"When nearly two years later, Obierika paid another visit to his friend in exile the circumstances were less than happy. The missionaries had come to Umuofia. They had built their church there, won a handful of converts, and were already sending evangelists to the surrounding towns and villages."
Chapter 17:
"We have now built a church," said Mr. Kiaga, the interpreter, who was now in charge of the infant congregation. The white man had gone back to Umuofia, where he built his headquarters and from where he paid regular visits to Mr. Kiaga's congregation at Mbanta.
"We have now built a church," said Mr. Kiaga, "and we want you all to come in every seventh day to worship the true God."
On the following Sunday, Nwoye passed and repassed the little red-earth and thatch building without summoning enough courage to enter. He heard the voice of singing and although it came from a handful of men it was loud and confident. Their church stood on a circular clearing that looked like the open mouth of the Evil Forest. Was it waiting to snap its teeth together? After passing and re-passing by the church, Nwoye returned home."
And in Chapter 22, Achebe moves toward the climax of the novel with the church at the center:
"The band of egwugwu moved like a furious whirlwind to Enoch's compound and with machete and fire reduced it to a desolate heap. And from there they made for the church, intoxicated with destruction.
Mr. Smith was in his church when he heard the masked spirits coming. He walked quietly to the door which commanded the approach to the church compound, and stood there. But when the first three or four egwugwu appeared on the church compound he nearly bolted. He overcame this impulse and instead of running away he went down the two steps that led up to the church and walked towards the approaching spirits."
I won't try to intervene in Achebe's carefully constructed allegory other than to make the rather facile observation that the church building was power for the missionaries and the destruction of the church was colonial resistance. The architecture itself created conversion and colonial change.
Re-imagining the Basilica at EF2 at Polis-Chrysochous
February 25, 2013 § Leave a comment
As readers of this blog know, I am involved with some great scholars on a long term research project at the site of Polis-Chrysochous on Cyprus. To date our work has primarily focused on the basilica-style church in the area of EF.2. The church was built toward the end of the 5th or beginning of the 6th century and then stood for half a millennium (or there abouts). The church stood in an area that was a center of activity from the Hellenistic period, a busy intersection in Roman times, and continued to support houses, burials, and manufacturing into the Byzantine epoch.
The church is a wild and sexy thing. During its hard life, it saw numerous architectural interventions ranging from what might have been an almost total reconstruction to slight structural and aesthetic tweaks. Traditional architectural history attempts to document the life of a building like this in terms of coherent phases that then collate with larger narratives of architectural development typically on a regional or even trans-Mediterranean scale. Our church is a reluctant partner in this kind of undertaking.
Any effort to push the buttresses, wall-thickenings, reconstructions, re-uses, floors, fills, and other evidence for architectural modification into well-defined phases has so far met with total frustration. This is not to say that the church did not see major episodes of modification, but that final plan of the church came about as much through a series of minor architectural responses as to major cohesive interventions.
The resulting image of our church is less a testimony to the orderly progress of regional styles as the industrious work of a community. And we submitted an abstract to the Annual Meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research to this effect:
Re-imagining the Basilica at EF2 at Polis-Chrysochous
Bill Caraher, University of North Dakota
Amy Papalexandrou, Independent Scholar (Austin, Texas)
Over the last four study seasons, a "Medieval Team" consisting of Amy Papalexandrou, Bill Caraher, Scott Moore, Brandon Olson, and Sarah Lepinski have worked to document the basilica style church at the site of EF.2 at Polis-Chrysochous. This building and its immediate vicinity were excavated over a 25 year period beginning in the early 1980s. While excavators successfully articulated the architecture, they made little headway unpacking the complex stratigraphy of this part of the site. To do this, our project has created a relational database that integrates transcribed notebook information, inventoried finds, and context pottery. We complemented this archaeological data with renewed study, documentation, and imaging of the architectural remains to create a substantially revised phase plan for this building. This work makes a significant contribution to history of Early Christian and Medieval architecture on Cyprus by reinforcing the dynamism of Christian architecture and establishing that the transition from wood-roofed to vaulted basilicas can dates to earlier than previously expected. Moreover, these conclusions also provide a useful opportunity to reflect upon the potential to integrate new imaging technology with models for digitizing legacy data and integrating it with new analysis.
Negotiating Clerical Authority in Late Roman Italy
January 28, 2013 § Leave a comment
I spent part of the weekend finishing up Kristina Sessa brilliant new book on the formation of Papal authority in Late Antique Italy: K. Sessa, The Formation of Papal Authority in Late Antique Italy: Roman Bishops and the Domestic Sphere. (Cambridge 2012). As readers of this blog know, I have been fascinated with authority for years and Sessa's book offers just the kind of sophisticated perspective to capture my attention. She outlined how expectations from the domestic sphere shaped and were shaped by the expanding power of the bishop. The book oozed with post-structuralism (although it was not explicitly framed this way) especially the work of P. Bourdieu. Domestic expectations formed the habitus within which episcopal authority negotiated its place in Late Roman society.
The bishop drew heavily on the existing discourse of authority to position himself at the head of his flock in Italy. His efforts were manifest in his sermons, letters, and other texts which preserved the delicate dance between emerging episcopal authority and longstanding practices among the proud, if besieged, elite of the Late Roman West. The bishop partially defined his authority over his flock as the elite landowner and paterfamilias of the Christian community. This responsibility included care over the church's resources, lands, and dependents as well as the involvement in the life of Christians in Italy.
The bishop, however, did not merely adopt a traditional elite position in the Roman social order as if this kind of simple replacement was possible among elites understandably reluctant to cede authority. The Roman bishop adopted both traditional elite language of authority and subtly transformed it by replacing familiar familial social expectations with a new language of Christian stewardship over the earthly affairs. Stewardship emphasized the temporary character of earthly authority particularly over wealth. This required earthly elites to accept a demotion from absolute control over all his possessions to subordination to the bishop as the representative of the Christian God. Just as the bishop was God's steward on earth, so the Roman elite stoop subordinate to the bishop at least in matters of salvation (and by extension many aspects of every day life). The intersection of the cosmic hierarchy and the earthly hierarchy placed the Roman elite in a position of authority, but also in a position of moral responsibility over their dependents and possessions just as the bishop carried out the work of God. Thus the bishop negotiated an important shift in Late Antique habitus by articulating key aspects of elite authority in Christian terms and locating social practice within a new set of cosmic relationships and expectations that, in turn, imposed new rules and obligations.
(Because this blog is all about me, I want to point out there that Sessa makes a far more sophisticated and clever version of the argument that I attempted to make in my dissertation. I attempted to show that the reorganization of social space within Early Christian basilicas both drew upon well-known rituals and social practices, but inscribed them within a new Christian cosmology. This enabled the rise of the ecclesiastical hierarchy in Greece as Greek society renegotiated traditional forms according to a new set of rules.)
The rest of the book is every bit as cool as Sessa described how the bishop of Rome put his newly articulated authority into use. Like so much scholarship these days, Sessa is deeply interested in understand how ecclesiastical authority penetrated longstanding elite patterns. She looks at how bishops became involved in marital issues, the relationship between landowners and slaves, and the family economy. As ecclesiastical elite exerted a growing influence over all aspects of religious practice, the traditional involvement of the paterfamilias over religions worship in the home eroded. This included some of the tricky issues surrounding worship at home that Kim Bowes treats at some length in her book (my reflections on it here).
The control over the location and authority of the liturgy seems to have been central to ecclesiastical authority. If the liturgy was the primary means that the Christian community gained access to God, then the control over this mediating act was central to projecting authority over the community.
A Few Observations on Early Christian Baptisteries
November 5, 2012 § Leave a comment
I spent a little time over the last few days reading the most recent volume of the Journal of Early Christian Studies which was a volume length consideration of Everett Ferguson's massive, recent book Baptism in the Early Church (2009). Robin Jensen (Grand Forks native, I must add) contributed a lengthy article titled: "Material and Documentary Evidence for the Practice of Early Christian Baptism".
There is no way to do justice to Jensen's elegant summary of the main literary and material evidence for baptism (and it is complemented by Ferguson's reply later in the volume).
1. Diversity. In general, Jensen argues for the diversity of baptismal practice. Her argument rests on the architecture of the fonts, the rituals described in the texts, and the depictions in art which show not only variation in the symbolic understanding of baptismal rituals, but also the rituals themselves. The most obvious variations come in whether the baptismal candidate is immersed or simply sprinkled with water. As Ferguson's reply reflects, the variation in practices continues to spur debate. My inclination is to agree with Jensen and to see liturgical practice are largely non-uniform across the Early Christian Mediterranean and that this variation is captured in regional architectural differences as well as variation in the ancient texts. Ferguson admits in his response to preferring evidence from texts to material evidence, and Jensen, it would seem, preferred archaeology to texts. This approach makes sense for her argument for diversity in practice; archaeological and architectural remains have a far wider chronological and spatial distribution across the Mediterranean than our limited corpus of textual evidence. In fact, based on the diversity present in the design of fonts alone, it is almost inconceivable that the actual moment of baptism did not see at least the variation necessary to accommodate the practical reality of different font designs. (As an aside, I was disappointed that Jensen didn't introduce some of her most controversial arguments here including her suggestion that re-baptism may have occurred at certain martyr shines.)
2. Nature. One of the more interesting little arguments that Jensen makes in her treatment of archaeological and decorative evidence for baptism is that the baptismal fonts were sometimes adapted to evoke the original outdoor setting for the rite. In fact, she notes a device in Milan that "simulated rain falling into a pool." (p. 380). The natural context for baptism surely evoked scenes from the New Testament where baptisms all took place outside or the pastoral settings in the Psalms that are regularly invoked in the inscriptions associated with baptisteries. Moreover, the use of mechanical means to conjure up outdoors settings brings together the use of vegetative imagery in mosaics around the font, the starry night in the domed roofs of baptistery buildings, and the need for cool, flowing water to evoke an idyllic Christian landscape of rebirth. (What she does not note, however, is that in some places in the Eastern Mediterranean (Kourion and Lechaion in Greece come immediately to mind), baptisteries were equipped with small furnaces to warm the water. It would be interesting to reflect on this variation in practice.)
3. Baths, Baptism, and Martyrs. One of the most intriguing observations offered by Jensen was the parallel between baptisteries and baths. The need for water made it the location of baptisteries near on atop the site of earlier baths not unusual. The parallel between bathing and washing clean the taint of sin is obvious as well. What is perhaps not so obvious is the link between martyrdom and bath buildings. There are a number of stories that recount the imprisonment of a saint in a bath with the most famous (to me) being the story of Ay. Demetrios of Thessaloniki. In fact, the great church of Ay. Demetrios stands atop a bath building where the saint was said to be imprisoned. One example does not make a very convincing argument, but it is intriguing to imagine the complex intersection of narratives that made vivid the intersection of bathing, baptism and martyrdom.
A Little Story about Local History
October 30, 2012 § Leave a comment
Yesterday I received an handwritten letter from an older woman who lives in California. She grew up in East Grand Forks, Minnesota. This fall, she returned to town to revisit some of her past, particularly, (as her letter says) the happy times. On her itinerary was the Grand Forks First Church of God where her brother had been married on a snowy Christmas day in early 1950s. The church has also hosted a going-away party for her brother when he went into the Air Force and it was where he received his call to join the ministry. She even recalled the name of the charismatic preacher, Reverend Ray Finley and his successor Rev. Cecil Evans. Finley's efforts ensured that the church survived a devastating fire in the March 1944.
When she visited town, she was not able to find the little white church on 3rd and Walnut Street and she soon learned that the church has been torn down a few months before. She says in her letter that she was heartbroken. She contacted me because someone has mentioned to her that I might have some information about the church. She had no idea that the church was over 100 years old.
Needless to say, two copies of Chris Price's The Old Church on Walnut Street: A Story of Immigrants and Evangelicals are now in the mail to her.
While some sense of modesty made me a bit reluctant to share this story on the blog (and, yes, I realize the irony of this statement), I decided to post it because it speaks so eloquently as to how individual buildings and neighborhoods serve to locate memories. Our rapidly changing urban landscape puts ever increasingly pressure on us to find ways to preserve these places of memory whether in brick, mortar, and wood-frame form or as texts, photographs, and plans. The letter that I received yesterday provided a very real experience to confirm that investing in the preserving the past will make a difference to real people. (In my 15 years of studying Late Antique churches, never once has someone from Late Antiquity taken the time to thank me or even politely as about my work (most of them, of course, have been dead for 1500 years).)
Moreover, this work is relatively easy to do. Our book took less than 9 months to bring it from a chat over a few beers to text, plans, and paper. With all due respect to Chris Price's efforts, the result book will never win a National Book Award or a Pulitzer Prize. It has, however, served its function. In my 20 some years as a professional historian, I've never been as pleased to share my work as I was the send those two copies of The Old Church on Walnut Street to someone who I've never met in California.

BS in Mathematics: Salary and Career Facts
With a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Mathematics, you may be prepared for a job in accounting, actuarial science, financial advising or statistics. To learn more about subjects studied in a bachelor's degree program in mathematics and see a breakdown of salary figures according to job title, read on. Schools offering Mathematics degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
What Will I Learn in a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Program?
Universities often offer mathematics degree programs with concentrations in a number of areas. Some of these specialties may include computer programming, statistics, life sciences, education and economics. Mathematics is such a diverse topic that some colleges even offer it as a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. The difference between a B.A. and a B.S. is that the B.S. is usually focused on the science of math. Some of the subjects you will study during your undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree program are:
- Algebra
- Calculus
- Numerical analysis
- Mathematical reasoning
- Discrete mathematics
- Probability and statistics
- Topology
What Can I Do with This Degree?
A strong background in math will prepare you for work in the sciences, education, technology, business and analysis. One career possibility you can consider is to become an actuary. Actuaries use probability and statistics to calculate events and possibilities for individuals and companies. They specialize in risk management and proactively analyze the impact of an event to eliminate financial loss.
Other employment opportunities for you may include a career as a statistician, financial advisor, mathematician or accountant. All of these jobs draw on the skills attained during your degree program and your knowledge of how to use equations to figure out budgets and finances for individuals and businesses.

The end of the World Series means free agency for 137 eligible players as of Monday. Seven Dodgers are in that group -- outfielders Shane Victorino and Bobby Abreu, infielder Adam Kennedy and pitchers Brandon League, Randy Choate, Jamey Wright and Joe Blanton.
Of those seven, the Dodgers are keen on re-signing only League and Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said he has already had "conversations" with League's representatives about a new contract.
Three more names were added to the free agent list when the Dodgers opted not to exercise contract options for C Matt Treanor, OF Juan Rivera or RHP Todd Coffey.
Here is the full list of Monday's 140 new free agents by team:
A number of names could be added to this list in the next few days as teams make decisions on contract options. The Angels have two key players in that category, both of whom are expected to become free agents (RHPs Dan Haren and Ervin Santana).

Are Tiger's Sponsors Doing the Right Thing?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Tiger Woods has gotten himself into quite a bind of late. We imagine that, by now, you no longer need the details, as they are as familiar to any sentient citizen of the planet.
But despite Tiger's admissions of "transgressions" and "profound apologies" it only keeps getting worse, with the latest reports saying that he has offered to pay his wife, Elin Nordegren, $5 million in a revised prenuptial agreement to keep her from walking away with the kids. Word is he's willing to pay her an additional $55 million to stay with him for two more years and will up the ante to $80 million if she stays with him for at least seven years.
Despite it all, big sponsors like
(NKE) and
Procter & Gamble
(PG)company Gillette say they will continue to support him through his personal crisis.
(PEP) brand
Gatorade has decided to discontinue the Tiger Woods line of sports drink" , but has not dropped Tiger as an endorser. Do you think they are making the right decision?

SBJ: Five Sports Predictions for When Comcast Completes NBCU Acquisition
Sports Business Journal's John Ourand has a column this week outlining five sports predictions for when Comcast finally completes its acquisition of NBC Universal.
It is a good read, which starts out obvious (Dick Ebersol will be running the new company's sports division) but also includes some interesting thoughts on the RSNs and Versus.
For example, Ourand says the RSNs will likely be grouped with the NBC O&Os, allowing them to share resources, programming and staff:
To get an idea of Comcast's thinking, look what the company is doing in Boston, where it essentially has merged CSN New England with New England Cable News. The two channels share resources and talent, and NECN's sports reports are produced by CSN and staffed by CSN talent.
He also says that Versus' days may be numbered:

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

Global solidarity for food crisis
The globally soaring food prices brought together world leaders at a high-level conference on food security titled "Challenges of Climate Change and Bioenergy" on 3-5 June 2008 in Rome, Italy.
New Horizons - The overall purpose of convening a high-level conference was to address food security and agricultural development issues and the new challenges of climate change as well as energy security. Following the summit, the delegates announced that there would be major funding increases to tackle hunger and longer-term agricultural development.
In a statement they made, officials at the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) stated that the money will benefit countries hard hit by current world food crisis allowing them to grow enough food for themselves in the coming planting season as well. In the context of the funding, investments will also be made in these countries on agriculture and research. Accordingly the UN's Central Emergency Relief Fund (CERF) will provide 100 million dollars and the World Bank will provide 1.2 billion dollars. Other contributors include the Islamic Development Bank, African Development Bank, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Japan, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Venezuela and New Zealand. The immediate measures to help suffering countries will include increasing nutritional and other feeding programmes, supplying fertilizers, seeds, animal feed and veterinary services.
The conference that was attended by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, 40 Heads of State, representatives from 181 countries, Ministers dealing with agriculture, livestock, forestry, fisheries, water, energy and environment as well as heads of UN-system agencies, financial institutions, selected inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations was built upon the works initiated at the expert meetings and stakeholder consultations that took place during January-April 2008. The expert meetings had examined the opportunities and constraints for the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors as well as methods and tools for capacity building, policy implications and possible partnerships while the stakeholder consultations had allowed civil society organizations and private sector stakeholders to express their views regarding food security, climate change and bioenergy and identify areas of common work.
During the high-level summit, discussions were held on how to assist countries and the international community in devising sustainable solutions to food crisis by identifying policies, strategies and programmes required to safeguard world food security in the immediate, short and longer term. The International Task Force set up by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on 28 April 2008 and which consists of the heads of key UN agencies, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as well as of experts from around the globe also presented its action plan on food crisis, based on their first meeting in May 2008 in New York. The action plan is a comprehensive plan to tackle the rise in food prices (please click here to view the updates on the activities of the International Task Force).
During the summit, private sector forums and roundtable meetings were also organized on the causes, consequences and solutions for high food prices, transboundary pests and diseases, bioenergy, climate change and food security. By the end of the three-day summit a declaration was adopted envisaging increased assistance for developing countries.
Four Year Strategic Plan to tackle hunger
A week after the summit on food crisis, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) announced a new four-year strategic plan to tackle high levels of hunger caused by global food crisis. The new strategic plan emphasizes on life-saving emergency aid, such as for the 3 million vulnerable people in Darfur, but it also focuses on prevention, local purchase of food, using targeted cash and voucher programmes when food is available locally but not accessible for the hungry. Accordingly, the tools laid out in the plan include early warning systems and vulnerability analysis as well as preparedness and disaster reduction and effective emergency response in life-saving situations. The plan will also include strengthening smallholder farming, communication networks, school meals and support for mother-and-child health and nutrition programmes.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon addressed the participants during the summit on food crisis. His speech is as follows:
"Mr. President, Giorgio Napolitano,
Distinguished Heads of State and Government
Mr. Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi,
Dr. Jacques Diouf, Director-General of the FAO,
and Distinguished Delegates
You all know about the severity and scale of the global food crisis. Before this emergency, more than 850 million people in the world were short of food. The World Bank estimates that this figure could rise by a further 100 million. The poorest of the poor spend two-thirds or more of their income on food. They will be hardest hit.
I have seen this for myself. In Liberia recently, I met people who normally would buy rice by the bag. Today, they buy it by the cup. In Cote d'Ivoire , the leaders of a country recovering from conflict and trying to build a democracy told me how they feared that food riots could undo all their hard work. We fear the same in other countries that, with UN help, have made gains in recent years: Afghanistan , Haiti and Liberia , to name but a few. And let us not forget the millions who suffer in silence and will go hungry unnoticed.
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The threats are obvious to us all. Yet this crisis also presents us with an opportunity. It is a chance to revisit past policies. While we must respond immediately to high food prices, it is important that our longer term focus is on improving world food security - and remains so for some years
That is why I am so pleased that we are here. I thank Dr. Jacques Diouf, Director-General of the FAO, for his leadership. The world needs to produce more food. Food production needs to rise by 50% by the year 2030 to meet the rising demand. We have an historic opportunity to revitalize agriculture - especially in countries where productivity gains have been low in recent years.
Governments have already begun to respond. Some countries are helping farmers pay for basic agricultural "inputs," such as seeds and fertilizers, the price of which has been so significantly affected by the rise in oil prices. We urgently need to find ways to support these initiatives, politically and financially.
That is why last month I set up a High-Level Task Force to come up with a Comprehensive Framework for Action. I want us to have a shared understanding of both the problems and solutions, and to move forward together, with urgency.
I would like to share some of the Task Force's recommendations with you.
First, we must improve vulnerable people's access to food and take immediate steps to increase food availability in their communities.
This includes:
· expanding food assistance through food aid, vouchers or cash;
· scaling up nutritional support and improving safety nets and social protection programmes to help the most vulnerable;
· boosting smallholder farmer food production through an urgent injection of key inputs (including seeds and fertilizers) in time for this year's planting seasons;
· improving rural infrastructure and links to markets, and expanding micro-credit programmes;
· adjusting trade and taxation policies to minimize export restrictions and import tariffs, and helping the free flow of agricultural goods;
· skillfully managing the impact of rising food prices on inflation and macro-economic policy;
· supporting balance of payments of net food importing countries where necessary; and
· helping to ensure that short term measures to respond to food price rises are financially sustainable for governments.
To guide us, we must improve food security and nutritional assessment systems, to ensure that we receive early warnings of hardship and are ready to respond.
Some countries have taken action by limiting exports or by imposing price controls. As I have said before, I say again now: Beggar Thy Neighbor food policies cannot work. They only distort markets and force prices even higher. I call on nations to resist such measures, and to immediately release exports designated for humanitarian purposes.
Second, we must act for longer term resilience and contribute to global food security.
This means:
· addressing structural issues that impede agricultural development;
· ensuring long term investment in smallholder farming in developing countries, including technical and financial support;
· helping governments to reinforce social safety nets for the neediest and most vulnerable people;
· looking at rural infrastructure needs, as well as new financing mechanisms;
· eliminating trade and taxation policies that distort markets - not least through rapid resolution of the Doha round; and
· supporting promising research into optimal food crops and better animal production systems, and adapting known technologies to existing food chains.
And we should also reach a greater degree of international consensus on bio-fuels.
These are parallel tracks—immediate needs must not be met at the expense of long-term solutions.
The international system is already contributing to immediate needs.
The FAO has called for $1.7 billion in new funding to provide low-income countries with seeds and other agricultural support and has initiated a programme to counter soaring food prices.
The World Food Program has raised the additional $755 million it needs to meet existing commitments this year. We owe a great debt of thanks to 31 generous donor-nations, most notably the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia . It will, of course, need significant extra resources to respond to new needs arising from the impact of the food crisis.
The International Fund for Agricultural Development is giving an additional $200 million to poor farmers in the most affected countries and will want to do more as further resources become available.
The World Bank has established a new $1.2 billion rapid financing facility to address immediate needs and boost food production, including $200 million in grants targeted at the world's poorest nations.
I have set aside a reserve of $100 million from the UN's Central Emergency Response Fund to help fund new humanitarian needs arising from soaring food prices.
The Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, NGOs and various civil society groups have mobilized as well. They are sponsoring new feeding programs to combat hunger and malnutrition, paying for medicine and sending children to school. Private sector groups are engaged too.
We will work together to scale up these efforts and to ensure that national authorities are able to coordinate their implementation.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Let me conclude by noting that the world's population will reach 7.2 billion by 2015. Today's problems will only grow larger tomorrow unless we act now.
I call on you to take bold and urgent steps to address the root causes of this global food crisis. We want a firm commitment to moving ahead.
This will not be easy. It may require big increases in financial support—often in the form of grants and material assistance, not lending. The UN Africa MDG Steering Group has estimated the requirements to realize a Green Revolution in Africa at some $8 to 10 billion annually, just to boost productivity. This suggests that the overall global price tag for national governments and international donors could exceed $ 15 to 20 billion annually, over a number of years.
Whatever the final figures, this will require enormous political will.
We must therefore leave this conference with a sense of purpose and mission, knowing that we are allied in our determination to make a difference. Only by acting together, in partnership, can we overcome this crisis, today and for tomorrow. Hundreds of millions of the world's people expect no less.
Nothing is more degrading than hunger, especially when man-made. It breeds anger, social disintegration, ill-health and economic decline.
In the name of the development goals we all set at the Millennium, the right to food and our common humanity, I urge you to act together now.
Thank you".

Is it STILL wrong to rob banks?Submitted by MikeLawson on Wed, 10/15/2008 - 14:19
They have no reserve requirements. The money is backed by nothing. How is it wrong to take nothing? I'm not suggesting doing it, but just philosophically speaking: Is it still wrong?
Who uses credit, sells themselves into slavery.
The government is issuing T-bills, which are paper and have no real value, to trade for FRNs, which are paper and have no real value, for paper held by banks which have no real value.
And they expect the market to go up?
Get real? Real money that is!
because it shows weakness in the system and no order.
"The real terrorist's are in this country and they are not planning to blow us up, but rather, take our money, our freedom, and our country."
"The real terrorist's are in this country. They are not planning to blow us up,......... but rather, take our money, our freedom, and our country."
so when 'the system' initiates the use of force of law to extort property from an individual, that is acceptable. When an individual, who has essentially no other legal recourse, attempts to recover it by physical force, then that is not.
At the bottom of every stack of government regulations is a gun.

If you have the wits about you to steal an instrument of debt, then I bid the best of luck to you. Before you begin, know this: No matter how large the pile of debt you collect, it will consistantly lose its ratio of value. Therefore, I would advise that a more successful endeavor may simply include you showing up every morning to partake of their free coffee and cookies.
Breakfast, indeed, holds intrinsic value...
Ask the Christian "Bible Thumpers"
They seem to forget that the only time Jesus resorted to violence was against the money changers.
A better solution is to petition law enforcement to arrest the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, including Ben Bernanke and, especially Alan Greenspan. Only after law enforcement has failed is it proper to take the law into your own hands, and then only to enforce the law.

Against the law? Yes..
Immoral? Not in my opinion.
That is why there are times when I think pork barrelling is just fine - there is some logic for a politician who can find a way to get back in pork what is taken from constituents in taxation. Money removed from someone's pockets for purposes for which they did not directly consent, is fundamentally immoral, IMHO. So getting some back, however tainted those pork projects may be, has some hint of fairness.
When the relationship between the government and the governed is so displaced, so out of touch with reality, all bets are off.
Yes, but apparently it is legal for them to rob us

Go for it.
Just remember what happened to Bonnie and Clyde. But you'll probably get less time in prison than a drug offender.
DIEBOLD: "If Your Vote Counts, Then We're Not Doing Our Job."
Nothing is "wrong" as long as
you have more guys and guns to keep anyone from stopping you. Right and wrong is only legally defined by the authorities' ability to force you into doing what they want.
That's why corrupt government officials can get away with murder and nothing will stop them / no one will prosecute them, but if you fart in public they'll have police taser you and charge you with disorderly conduct. They couldn't really do that if you had 100,000 guys of your own to fight off the police.
That's basically what democracy is: mob rule. If you can vote to take money out of someone's pockets, without their direct sanction, it's still theft.
But's it's legal because it was voted in by a majority.
If we only had kept the Republic that was gifted to us. We allowed them to take it away.

Hopkins Pulse - A One-Stop Shop for Diabetes Vascular and Wound Care
A One-Stop Shop for Diabetes Vascular and Wound Care
Date: June 23, 2014
Johns Hopkins Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot and Wound Clinic helps patients with diabetes-related complications.
Donna Brown, 53, was diagnosed with diabetes more than 20 years ago. "I didn't understand it or take it that seriously until I started having a funny feeling in my legs that turned out to be a blockage," she says.
Due to a lack of blood flow to her right foot, gangrene developed in her big toe and it had to be amputated. Her primary care doctor referred her to the Johns Hopkins Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot and Wound Clinic, where patients can see several specialists in one visit.
Vascular surgeon Christopher Abularrage opened the blockage in Brown's leg with angioplasty to immediately restore blood flow. However, she had a lingering wound in her foot despite the angioplasty and needed procedures to remove damaged tissue and expel excess fluid.
Abularrage enlisted the help of plastic surgeon Justin Sacks, who was able to stretch a flap of skin over the wound as well as perform multiple skin grafts to seal Brown's ulcers. Those steps, in combination with bypass surgery to detour the blood around a recurrence in the blockage, allowed her foot to heal.
"Ms. Brown is typical of patients who need the services of all of us—not just vascular surgeons, but also podiatrists, plastic surgeons and endocrinologists," says Abularrage.
He and his colleagues developed the Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot and Wound Clinic to provide coordinated care for the growing number of patients with diabetes-related vascular and wound complications. "Our goal is to catch problems early and intervene to prevent hospitalizations and amputations," says Abularrage, the clinic's medical director. "Of course, we also care for patients with more advanced, complex problems."
"When I came in distressed and scared, they really helped me through it," says Brown. "They explained exactly what was going on, told me all the options and gave me a chance to make up my mind. I am very grateful for this clinic."
Brown also is pleased with being able to see several specialists in one clinic visit. "Patients like me have a hard time getting around, and this saves us from making multiple trips."
"It's too much to ask them to see different specialists on different days," Abularrage says. "It delays their care."
