Bardessono in Napa Valley was awarded a Gold award as one of the "Best Hotels in the USA." Hotel 1000 in Seattle, ONE Bal Harbour Resort & Spa in Miami Beach and Villas of Grand Cypress in Orlando received the Silver award as "Best Hotel" within their respective American markets. "We are honored that four of our Personal Luxury properties received this prestigious recognition from such an important and widely-read business publication," said James Simkins, chief operating officer, Personal Luxury Resorts & Hotels. "It helps to reinforce that the personalization of every guest experience and our attention to detail in our service levels are being noted, appreciated and truly make a difference in our guests' experience." "The 2014 Best Hotels were selected because they meet the highest standards of travel experts and guests alike," said Miriam Weiner, travel editor for U.S. News & World Report. "These properties are renowned in the travel industry for their luxury amenities and quality customer service." The 2014 U.S. News & World Report Best Hotels recognizes properties that were ranked based on an unbiased methodology, which includes the collective opinion of travel experts and guests, expressed through online reviews and ratings. To create this year's rankings, U.S. News & World Report factored in the prominence of industry awards a hotel receives along with its reputation among travel experts and guests. In total, 1,693 U.S. hotels, 271 Caribbean hotels, 342 Mexican hotels and 223 Canadian hotels were evaluated for the 2014 rankings. Hotels named "Best" in their destination are typically the properties that have ranked within the top 30 percent of U.S. News-evaluated properties in that region. A smaller, more selective group of hotels that are ranked in the top 10 percent of all ranked luxury hotels in the United States, the Caribbean, Mexico or Canada received a "Best Hotels in the USA," "Best Hotels in the Caribbean," "Best Hotels in Mexico" or "Best Hotels in Canada" award, depending on their location.

Front Line Strategic Plan 2011 -2014
Several thousand years ago Sun Tzu set down a concept which has been repeated in the handbooks of oppressors right up to the present day:
'Kill one, terrify a thousand.'
Front Line seeks to do the opposite.
'Protect one, empower a thousand.'
Human rights defenders are often the key agents of change within society. They are at risk because they touch on powerful interests when they promote social justice and human rights for all. The repression against them is a measure of their potential effectiveness. Protecting human rights defenders and expanding the space for civil society to work in is a crucial element in any strategy which seeks to promote good governance, peace, development or human rights.
- increased repression of human rights defenders, including killings, disappearances, imprisonment, arbitrary detention, torture;
- a strategic approach by many repressive Governments to increase legal restrictions (NGO laws, registration) and control foreign funding and international links;
- continues efforts to defame, denigrate, marginalise and de-legitimise human rights defenders;
- increased use of spurious prosecutions of HRD on criminal or civil charges;
- increased violent attacks on defenders of Economic, Social and Cultural rights;
- increased attacks from non-state actors including armed groups, fundamentalist religious or political groups, criminal gangs and businesses;
- increased requests and demands on Front Line from HRDs at risk;
- the difficulty of sustaining attention on long-term cases;
- weaker UN and other international mechanisms for protection as a result of a regional bloc or west v the rest political dynamic;
- the economic crisis and a consequently difficult funding environment.
HRDs have particularly highlighted:
- the importance of increased Front Line field presence and supportive accompaniment;
- the need for more campaigning;
- the importance of supporting strengthened legitimacy and visibility for human rights defenders;
- the importance of also addressing issues related to stress and burn-out as well as the needs of the families of HRDs;
- the need to develop alternative strategies to relocation where possible and/or to support a process that facilitates sustained work and return;
- the need for further efforts to promote stronger implementation of the EU Guidelines;
- the need to build capacity of HRDs;
- the importance of focusing on particularly vulnerable groups including LGBTI, women human rights defenders and those working in rural areas.
Strategic Objectives:
- Provide rapid, practical and effective support to human rights defenders at risk:
- 1.1 Provide fast, flexible and effective 24 hour emergency response that contributes to the protection of HRD at immediate risk.
- 1.1.1 Maintain and develop research contacts with HRD and others
- 1.1.2 Increase focus on particularly vulnerable groups including isolated hrds/ working in rural areas, indigenous rights, sexual rights, ESC rights
- 1.1.3 Sustain and develop 24/7 emergency response system.
- 1.1.4 Develop capacity to deploy trial observers or short term accompaniment.
- 1.1.5 Maintain emergency relocation capacity (including humanitarian visas)
- 1.1.6 Explore alternative strategies to relocation including support in-country.
- 1.1.1 Maintain and develop research contacts with HRD and others
- 1.2 Provide practical support that contributes to strengthening HRD capacities to manage security.
- 1.2.1 Maintain and deepen the training/ security management program with more focus on follow-up and behavioural change of HRD.
- 1.2.2 Explore opportunities for distance learning opportunities on security to be made available to HRDs.
- 1.2.3 Develop resources and promote awareness of well-being and stress management techniques for HRD and their families.
- 1.2.4 Provide grants for security and protection.
- 1.2.5 Develop Fellowship opportunities which enable individual HRD to develop their capacities and contribute to protection of HRD.
- 1.2.6 Sustain and develop the Front Line ID cards.
- 1.2.7 Sustain regular communications with HRD in several languages.
- 1.2.1 Maintain and deepen the training/ security management program with more focus on follow-up and behavioural change of HRD.
- 1.3 Support networking and exchange between HRD on the subject of security and protection.
- Enhance the visibility of human rights defenders and the recognition of the legitimate work that they undertake:
- 2.1 Maintain and develop the new Front Line website and explore new social networking tools.
- 2.2 Promote media coverage of HRD and their role as key agents of change and Front Line's work to protect them in Ireland and in their own countries.
- 2.3 Maintain the Dublin Platform.
- 2.4 Sustain and develop the Front Line Award for HRD at risk.
- 2.5 Develop campaigning on long-term cases of HRDs.
- 2.6 Give personal recognition to every HRD that Front Line works with.
- 2.7 Identify a partner to explore the possibility of HRD focussed radio programmes on a pilot basis.
- Strengthen international protection of human rights defenders at risk.
- 3.1 Support the strengthening of international mechanisms for the protection of HRD.
- 3.1.1 Promote the visibility and implementation of the UN Declaration on HRD.
- 3.2.2 Support the strengthening and visibility of the role of the UN Special Rapporteur on HRD.
- 3.1.3 Promote access of HRD to UN mechanisms ( UPR, HRC).
- 3.1.4 Promote strengthened regional mechanisms for the protection of HRD and lobby for their effectiveness / implementation.
- 3.1.5 Promote stronger implementation of the EU Guidelines on the Protection of HRD.
- 3.1.1 Promote the visibility and implementation of the UN Declaration on HRD.
- 3.2 Support the strengthening of the international constituency of support for the protection of HRD.
- 3.2.1 Engage non-EU governments to take responsibility for security and protection of HRD.
- 3.2.2 Develop capacity to engage and influence perpetrators and non-state actors.
- 3.2.3 Stimulate discourse on the crucial role of HRD with key opinion formers at international level.
- 3.2.1 Engage non-EU governments to take responsibility for security and protection of HRD.
- Further develop Front Line as an effective and sustainable organization that retains agility and innovation in responding to the needs expressed by HRD.
- 4.1 Sustain and develop the staffing, management and operational systems of the organisation, including digital and information security.
- 4.2 Develop regional presence with expansion of field-based model.
- 4.3 Sustain and develop organisational infrastructure, management and communication systems.
- 4.4 Sustain and develop the size, scope and diversity of Front Line's funding base.
- 4.5 Support effective functioning of governance structures.
- 4.6 Further develop diverse and multilingual staff.
- 4.7 Integrate risk analysis systematically into planning of all missions and other field based activities.
Crosscutting themes:
- Ensure Front Line is driven by the aspirations and needs expressed by human rights defenders themselves.
- Ensure that Front Line responds and is present in a real way when HRD are most at risk.
- Ensure Front Line works equally for men and women human rights defenders, seeks to address the specific challenges faced by women human rights defenders because of their gender, and gives particular attention to threats faced by human rights defenders working for economic, social and cultural rights, for sexual identity rights and for indigenous peoples rights.
- Develop Front Line as an Irish based international organization which reflects its internationalism in the geographic reach of our activities, the diversity of our staff,our commitment to multilingualism and the international breadth of our support network.
- Front Line will continue to play a facilitating/catalytic role in bringing together human rights defenders, decision makers and those with specific areas of expertise to promote innovative approaches to strengthening protection.
Measures of success:
The negative political context in which we are working makes efforts to protect human rights defenders more urgent but offers slim prospects that they will be less at risk in four years time.
Front Line will be effective if:
- The human rights defenders Front Line works with have a greater capacity to manage the risks that they face;
- International mechanisms to protect human rights defenders are more effective;
- There is a measurable positive improvement in at least 35% of the cases of human rights defenders at risk that Front Line takes up;
- Front Line is positioned as the leading organisation in the protection of Human Rights Defenders at Irish, EU, regional and global level;

Fresno State vs. New Mexico Post-Game
Feb. 13, 2013 Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery | AP Photos Head Coach Rodney Terry (Scored 31 points in the first half and not as many in second, what happened?) (Do you feel New Mexico made the adjustments at half time?) "Well, I wouldn't necessarily say they made the adjustments at half time, we got shots in the second half that we didn't make. We got point blank shots. We stopped in the second time out and said `hey guys it's not our offense, we are getting shots exactly where we want them. We got five shots in the paint, you have to make them. You can't draw a player if you put him at the rim, but we got five shots at the rim, we have to make those at the end of the day. We had great looks, so it wasn't our offense as so much it was in the second half, our defense, we didn't finish out the stops with the defensive rebounds that we had in the first half. It was more on our defense in the second half than it was on our offense. At the end of the day you have to make the shots. (Were you expecting more out of Braeden (Anderson) today?) Was the momentum there for you guys early coming out of the locker room? "I would say so, we know New Mexico is a great team. We just followed the game plan in the first half. We knew that their coach was going to get on them at halftime and they were going to come out with fire. We just have to try and master our intensity in the second half." Do you feel that the team is improving each game and learning? "Yeah I would say so. I mean we are improving a lot. We work hard in practice. I mean we can't keep making the same little mistakes towards the end of the game, that's where we got to get better. I think we will improve on that." Thoughts on Wyoming on Sunday "Wyoming is a great team. We know for a fact that they are going to come out and play hard because they are going to want to avenge the loss here. So we just have to come ready and step up to the challenge."

You get the Walk and Roll Dance Team (Formerly Known as Team Hotwheelz) (Formerly Team Hotwheelz). And you can see them in hip-hopping, blood-pumping action at Abilities Expo!
In the tradition of wheelchair dancing troupes like Colours~n~Motion and AXIS Dance Company, the Walk and Roll Dance Team (Formerly Known as Team Hotwheelz) is revolutionizing the world of dance and dispelling antiquated notions of what it is to be a dancer. Their success and rising fame echo the sentiments of wheelchair dancer and Abilities Expo veteran Auti Angel when she says, "Dance is a state of mind and an attitude, not just a physical motion."
Led by Chelsie Hill, 20-year-old co-founder of the Walk and Roll Dance Team (Formerly Known as Team Hotwheelz) and featured character on the Sundance channel's hit docu-series Push Girls, the dancers were initially drawn to each other by their injuries, but continue to flourish and inspire because of their indomitable spirits and love of dance.
Hill's fellow dancers hail from coast to coast and include Maria Gast, Katie Estrella, Kaitlyn Staten, Kimberly Torreliza, Edna Serrano and Ali Stroker. You may know Stroker from Oxygen's The Glee Project where she was a finalist in the summer of 2012.
"These are all girls I've met the last two years since being injured," said Hill. "These girls have gone through some pretty traumatic things like their injuries, but they have all switched it around to being completely positive. We all love to dance, so we decided to start a team with all seven of us. It's pretty cool."
the Walk and Roll Dance Team (Formerly Known as Team Hotwheelz) is presented by the Walk and Roll Foundation, which Hill founded with her father after she was paralyzed in an alcohol-related automobile accident. The mission of the foundation is to "help spinal cord injury survivors recreate their dreams, develop their talents and abilities, and live a full life within their reach."
Don't miss your chance to not only watch the Walk and Roll Dance Team (Formerly Known as Team Hotwheelz) tear up the dance floor, but also learn a couple hot, hip-hop moves yourself! The Team looking forward to meeting you at Abilities Expo!

Singularity and Media
The idea of singularity starts out simple but as soon as you begin to wrap your head around this theory you begin to question everything about technology and life. Singularity is an idea that refers to a hypothetical point of time in the future where artifical intelligence surpasses human intelligence which results in the fusion of the two. A world where our thoughts can be downloaded and our minds exported into different bodily experiences. This idea is most commonly talked about one of the great innovative minds of our generation, Ray Kurzweil, who was the subject of the 2009 documentary Transcendent Man. I urge all of you to watch this documentary or read any of the numerous articles available on this idea before you continue reading.
When exploring this theory I immediately begin to think about what media or the entertainment industry would look like when singularity or some form of it is a reality. It is pretty crazy to think about the possiblity of downloading media straight to your brain but if Mr. Kurzweil is correct that is exactly where were headed. This could open the doors to new types of entertainment, virtual reality simulations, and new innovative ways to particpate in live events. Could artificial intelligence write better tv shows than humans do? Are we going to be playing video games in different bodies with others inhabititing other bodies themselves?
These possibilities truly boggle the mind. We are getting to the point where technology can truly take over a lot of what we do. I think its important however to keep in mind, during this "rise of technology", to consider the important of media and the arts in society. New ideas are exchanged all the time by the arts and through media, and we never want to be content with what we have. We should always strive for more reflection and input on ideas of our time. Technology will surely get better and change how we get our media, but let's make sure the art that comes from this media is as pure and independent as possible. Let's use this technological singularity to get new ideas out in the world and empower others to create because of the new found freedom of a singularity.
So what are your thoughts? Afraid of singularity? Excited? Please comment below
An interview with True Voice Media founder Jeff Gibbard
Today we had the opportunity to talk with a pioneer in the social media world in Philadelphia, Jeff Gibbard. Jeff is the founder of True Voice Media, a Philadelphia based social media company. We discussed a myriad of subjetcts about social media, and the best thing about it…. it was done entirely over Twitter. We even created a special hashtag for the event: #smphila. You can follow Jeff @jgibbard and follow his company @truevoicemedia.
New Media Musings: 1st question… How did you get involved in social media?
Jeff Gibbard: My first foray into social media was Friendster & then MySpace. While getting my MBA realized this was going to be BIG!! As a professional I started with a mgmt consulting company doing interactive mktg.
NMM: How does your business True Voice Media, monetize its social media efforts?
JG: Well for starters, we monetize social media efforts because clients pay us, beyond that we go about it in a fairly traditional way. Quantify the value of a lead for clients & get more leads.
NMM:Why are bigger corporations more tentative to adopt social media?
JG:Good question. 3 reasons. Fear. Oversight. Scalability. I'll explain, fear, big corporations are afraid of making mistakes, there's more accountability, less risk tolerance they are afraid someone might say something negative, that it might get out of control…it's fear of the unknown. Oversight, It is MUCH more difficult to manage 100′s of people representing a brand than a small handful scalability is about the fact that social media replicates individual relationships. More of a one-on-one dialogue. And that's more difficult to scale in big corporate environments
NMM:Very interesting insight, Which emerging social media platform do you see becoming the "next big thing" ?
JG: I don't really believe in the concept of "the next big thing" for a technology / platform. I think the "next big thing" is getting serious about all this and treating it like anything else in business. Each network will continue to evolve or it will fizzle out. The next big thing is often tomorrows failure.
NMM:On that note,How do you think social media will be used by big business in the next five years? How will they monetize it?
JG:It depends. You can profit without making a difference in the world or fulfilling the biggest potential. My hope is that business monetize it in a way that capitalizes on what makes these technologies so special. Social Media technologies enable an open dialogue w/ customers to garner feedback, ideas and provide customer service. I think ultimately businesses will realize that not every function of SM is about monetization. Certainly monetization is important and should be essential but it's not everything, Much of what SM provides is the ability to bolster a brand's reputation, add value to customers to build loyalty.If we focus solely on monetization then we end up like Facebook and we cease to respect our customers.
NMM:Last question what do you recommend to individuals on how to use SM effectively in a professional sense?
JG: Understand your goals. Plan. Learn about your audience. Be Generous. Be Authentic while using discretion.
Thanks for reading everyone and please comment below.

Deepwater Horizon: Lessons from Petroleum Engineering and the Roman Empire
Why did the Deepwater Horizon blow up last year, kill 11 workers, and cause the massive oil eruption into the Gulf of Mexico? You're likely to get different answers if you talk separately to a petroleum engineer or an anthropologist. When they team up, it gets really interesting. Anthropologist Joseph Tainter (author of The Collapse of Complex Societies) and petroleum engineer Tad Patzek talk about the new book they've co-authored: Drilling Down: The Gulf oil debacle and our energy dilemma.

Is That Really a Good Sale?
It seems that, starting with Halloween and then through the first of the year, we're inundated with sales flyers. Everything from turkey for $0.49/lb to "buy one get one free" deals at the toy stores.
But do you every wonder if that sale price is really the best price you could be getting? I had never really stopped to think too much about it, until I purchased a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. I paid $0.69/lb, thinking it couldn't possibly get an less expensive. Then the next week, my turkey was priced at just $0.49/lb.
I know that's not a lot of money, but then I started thinking about bigger purchases … and sales that I shopped. Was I really getting the best deal? Or was I playing right into the greedy hands of the retail industry. I decided to do a little digging about when sales are best for different categories of products; here's what I came up with.
January: This is when you'll find the best deals on fall-themed merchandise including clothes. Retailers are getting ready for spring/summer shipments and they need the shelf space. You can also score big on furniture and home goods.
February: Stock up on gift items that can easily be used for giving throughout the year. And if you've been eyeing something a little sparkly for yourself, now's the time to grab it thanks to Valentine's Day.
April: Retailers are again clearing the shelves to make room for bathing suits (oh my!) so it's a good time to stock up on transitional clothing for those times that are too warm for long-sleeves but too cold for tank tops.
May: Since it's warming up, people are taking their workouts outside; find the best deals on shoes and workout gear now.
June/July: Stock up on gifts for dad (thanks for Father's Day) and after the 4th of July, you'll see prices on patio furniture, picnic and camping gear, and other outdoor goodies marked down.
September/October: Just in time for back-to-school, you'll find notebooks for a penny, sales on snowsuits (because, really, who's thinking about snowsuits in September), and deep discounts on Halloween items.
November: Given the slight uptick in the economy, retailers are optimistic and starting to run "Black Friday" prices well before Thanksgiving. And don't forget Cyber Monday; in a recent National Retail Federation study, the organization found that more than 41% of shoppers started their holiday shopping before Halloween and another 39% will begin in November. Not surprisingly, it was reported that more than 50% of shoppers will be making their gift purchases online.
December: Now is the time to grab non-perishable gift items that you can store away for gift giving in the coming year. All those boxed sets that weren't sold, but are packaged so sweetly for under the tree, are now on sale for up to 75% off the packaged price. Feel free to buy things like lotions and bath sets for gift giving in the first three months of new year; stick to things like toys and DVD sets for later in the year (and of course, you'll unpackage and rewrap the items!).
When do you score the best deals?

Nearly a fifth of elderly patients are readmitted after a hospital stay for psychiatric care
Research Activities, April 2009
Older patients with psychiatric conditions often receive treatment in outpatient settings, but patients with severe symptoms often need inpatient care. A new study finds that 22 percent of elderly patients who were treated at and released from hospitals end up back in the hospital within 6 months. Researchers found that the readmission rate for patients suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder was about 50 percent higher than for patients who were depressed or had substance abuse disorders.
Patients who had two or more psychiatric conditions were at greater risk for readmission than patients who had just one condition. However, patients who had some medical conditions and a psychiatric condition were less likely to be readmitted. The authors suggest that these patients' need for treatment of their medical conditions may outweigh their psychiatric concerns, or their regular contact with health care providers may help them avoid psychiatric hospitalizations.
Hospital stays of 5 days or longer decreased the chances that patients with affective disorders (for example, depression or bipolar disorder) would be rehospitalized. Twenty-nine percent of patients with affective disorders who had stays of 4 or fewer days were readmitted, while just 16 percent with nonaffective disorders (for example, anxiety or substance abuse) were rehospitalized. The findings indicate that to prevent readmissions, patients should not be prematurely discharged, especially those with affective disorders Patients could also benefit from tailored discharge plans and aftercare, suggest the authors, who used 2002 Medicare data for 41,839 patients for this study.
The study was funded in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS16097) to the Rutgers Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics (CERT). For more information on the CERTs program, please visit http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/certsovr.htm.
See "Psychiatric rehospitalization among elderly persons in the United States," by Jonathan D. Prince, Ph.D., Ayse Akincigil, Ph.D., Ece Kalay, B.A., and others in the September 2008 Psychiatric Services 59(9), pp. 1038-1045.

Barnes & Noble first talked of spinning off the Nook division in January of last year and subsequently saw the unit receive investment from Microsoft ($300 million for a 16.8% stake) and education publisher Pearson ($89.5 million for a 5% stake).
At the time of Microsoft's original investment, the deal included an additional $180 million advance for Nook to develop eBooks and other content for Windows 8, and there was even talk that Windows 8-powered Nook tablets and eReaders would come to the market.
Such speculation may now return in light of a new report which suggests that Microsoft is looking to buy the digital assets of Nook Media.
TechCrunch claims to have received internal company documents which reveal that Microsoft is offering to pay $1 billion for the digital assets of the Nook division, which has previously been valued around $1.66 billion.
The report also states that the acquisition would see Nook move away from Android for future tablets and would stop using Google's open operating system altogether by the end of the 2014 financial year.
The buy-out could be advantageous for both parties. Microsoft is widely-reported to be working on a number of smaller tablets, an area of expertise for Nook, while the Barnes & Noble division could do with some new investment after a couple of difficult quarters. Back in February, Barnes & Noble revealed that Nook revenue for the 2012 holiday season dropped by 26%.

Sunbrite Farm in Bernardston, Massachusetts
We're David and Debbie Duprey of Sunbrite Farm. Together with our children, Aimee, Kimberly, and Nicholas, we work a family farm that dates back to the 1900's when David's grandfather and later his father milked cows here. Our farm has about 100 acres - 70 acres are woodland and 30 acres are pasture and hay. To keep our 100 head of cows fed, we also rent another 75 acres for haymaking.
Our herd consists of 40 young stock and 65 milkers. People often ask us what is the best part about running our own farm, and our answer is just that: running our own farm. We're self-employed. It's up to us.
Thank you for buying our farm's milk and for supporting local farmers.

Public has suggestions for Calumet Trail project
By Amy Lavalley Post-Tribune correspondent April 3, 2013 10:04PM
Updated: May 5, 2013 2:54PM
PORTER — John Butz showed up at the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center on Wednesday evening to share his thoughts during an open house on the Calumet Trail project.
A two-mile section of the trail, between Mineral Spring and Tremont roads, is slated for replacement. The project will cost $2 million, with $1.6 million coming from federal grants and the rest from the Regional Development Authority and Porter County, which is responsible for maintaining the trail.
"I think it's important. I think that's where I want my tax money to go," said Butz, of Porter, adding that he wants to have input on different aspects of the trail and how the money is spent.
The entire trail is 9.2 miles and stretches from Mineral Spring Road to Mount Baldy. The ultimate goal is to replace the entire length of the trail, said project manager Gregg Calpino, a senior landscape architect with SEH.
The section slated for replacement first is aggregate gravel that's in bad shape and prone to flooding.
"This is the first phase of it and the most challenging because it's the wettest and most expensive," Calpino said, adding it also "sets the tone" for replacing the rest of the trail.
Visitors to the open house got to select various options they want for that first section and also play a "sim trail" game, where they could create a trail with different components, some more costly than others. Parts of the project under consideration include paving, drainage, trail amenities and habitat.
Officials will hold three additional public meetings to gather more information on what people want in the trail, though those have yet to be scheduled.
"We hope to be under construction in summer/fall of 2014," Calpino said.
The Calumet Trail also links into the Dunes Kankakee Trail and is part of the Marquette Greenway Trail, Porter County Parks and Recreation Superintendent Walter Lenckos said.
"It is an important part of a region-wide trail system," he said.

Schrag will wind up 30 years at Bethel with commencement address
North Newton, Kan. – Few members of the Bethel College campus community need an introduction to the 2014 commencement speaker.
Dale R. Schrag, campus pastor and director of church relations, will retire at the end of the school year, wrapping up 30 years in which he served as director of libraries (1984-92) and director of marketing and church relations (1992-97) in addition to his current assignments.
And that's not even counting the four years he spent as at Bethel as a student, 1965-69, where he completed a B.A. in history with education licensure.
He will speak to the 2014 graduates during commencement ceremonies May 18 in Thresher Stadium (alternate location in case of inclement weather is Memorial Hall).
After spending two years working for a community organization in Arvada, Colo., under the auspices of Mennonite Voluntary Service, Schrag earned a master's degree in library science at Indiana University, Bloomington.
He was an instructor and assistant professor, and held several different library positions, at Wichita State University, 1975-84. He completed an M.A. in history at WSU in 1984.
As a scholar of history, Schrag's primary topic is the Dutch Renaissance theologian Erasmus, about whom Schrag has written frequently. He is the co-author, with Erika Rummel, of "The Erasmus Collection in the Herzog August Bibliotek" (2004).
Several generations of Bethel students know Schrag as the director of the convocation series and for giving speakers carefully researched, thoughtful introductions. Others will remember with fondness his presence on countless Concert Choir spring break tours and for the detailed poems he would write recapping each tour.
Schrag served the General Conference Mennonite Church for several years as the staff person for its Higher Education Council.
He is also widely known in Mennonite circles for his presentations on church and Anabaptist history, often appearing in character as one of the early Anabaptist leaders such as Pilgram Marpeck, Michael Sattler or Menno Simons.

2011 NAB Show in Review
This year's NAB Show was a very fast four days. The overall positive mood seemed to make the event go by much quicker. Attendance was up, exhibitors were happy, the sessions were full. In short, it was a good convention.
With the looming CAP changes, EAS was an obvious hot topic. Likewise IP anything (routing, audio, control, messaging, you name it) was a common underlying theme. HD Radio, while not in the main spotlight, had some shining moments as well.
Underlying themes related to identifying new revenue streams and ways to interact with listeners. As the media universe continues to grow and further splinter the radio listening audience, stations are finding new ways to reach listeners and preserve their revenue streams. Crowdsourcing and data services are just two of those methods.
What follows is a synopsis of the convention in new products shown on the floor and highlights of our daily photo blog. The Radio magazine Pick Hits, a tradition since 1985, are included. And be sure to watch the Pick Hits videocasts for the winners. Links are posted at RadioMagOnline.com.

In order to respect each student's individual right to freedom of religious practice, religious indoctrination is clearly forbidden in the public schools. Instruction about religion shall not promote or denigrate the beliefs or customs of any particular religion or sect, nor should a preference be shown for one religious viewpoint over another. Staff members shall be highly sensitive to their obligation not to interfere with the religious development of any student in whatever tradition the student embraces.

Staff shall not endorse, encourage or solicit religious or anti-religious expression or activities among students during class time. As part of their official duties, staff shall not lead students in prayer or other religious activities. However, staff shall not prohibit or discourage any student from praying or otherwise expressing his/her religious belief as long as this does not disrupt the classroom.
(cf. 5127 - Graduation Ceremony and Activities)
Students may express their beliefs about religion in their homework, artwork and other class work if the expression is germane to the assignment. Such work shall be judged by ordinary academic standards.
(cf. 5121 - Grades/Evaluation of Student Achievement)
(cf. 5145.2 - Freedom of Speech/Expression)
(cf. 6144 - Controversial Issues)
(cf. 6154 - Homework/Make-up Work)
While teaching about religious holidays is a permissible part of the educational program, celebrating religious holidays is not allowed in the public schools. School-sponsored programs shall not be, nor have the effect of being, religiously oriented or a religious celebration.

I will be glad when Sunday is over! Always have fun when we have a party, but I drive myself bonkers beforehand trying to make sure there's plenty of food and drink (always have lots left over). And that the house and yard are all as clean and neat as I can possibly make them.
Keep telling myself to just relax and enjoy it, but it does no good. Anj was so right when she said why is it good enough for us to live in, but we think we have to scrub and straighten up when someone is coming to visit! LOL Anyone else crazy like me? Luvs |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes Luv, that would be me!!! I've even stayed up the whole night cooking and cleaning. After my last dinner I had about a couple of weeks ago, I'm thinking to just do a surface clean, then clean after every one leaves. Instead of cleaning really good, then having to clean again really good after the party is over. And I'm usually so tired I don't even enjoy the company. When I sit down to eat, I just want to go to sleep. Hope you have a great party Sunday!!! Cheri |

Oh yea. Think it's just a woman thing. Everyone I know does it too. ha When someone is coming I clean places I hardly ever think about any other time. Like who is really going to be digging thru my drawers or looking to see if there is dust on top of my fridge? And yet everything must be done, just in case! ha Happy B-day to DH!! Hope everything goes smoothly for you today and you can enjoy it. ~Anj |

Whew! Okay, I got it all together, everyone had plenty to eat and drink, and we had lots of laughs too. Anj. you are so right, I cleaned high and low--even washed all the baseboards trying to make sure no one could find one speck of dust and know what a lousy housekeeper I realy am (I'd rather paint than clean!). Almost no one even sat in the living room/dining room! They all gathered in the kitchen and family room. No one went to the back yard except GD and DIL, and I really really worked out there making sure all the flowers were dead headed and the weeds were pulled. Okay--the bright side is that all that stuff is done, the house and yard look good, and now I can kick back and relax or hopefully even start on some painted items for Christmas. Thanks for everyone's words of encouragement--they really helped. LOL Luvs |
I'm so glad everything went as planned and now you can relax. It does wear you out, but it's such a nice feeling to have everything done. Too bad it doesn't last long especially at my house. ha ~A |

That says it all! But you notice that we REALLY enjoy it once the preparations are done and we get to be with all our friends! Guess that makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it? As Anj had said "It is good enough for us to LIVE in, but mention company coming and we think we have to scrub the whole place. Wish I could just relax and not worry about it-always thought I wanted to have one of those homes where people stop by all the time. Turns out, I prefer a day or two notice so I can SCRUB the whole place first! LOL Luvs |

The Sunnah is for the fasting person to hasten to break the fast as soon as he is certain that the sun has set, because of the hadeeths âThe people will continue to be fine so long as they hasten to break the fastâ and âThe most beloved of the slaves of Allah to Allah are those who are quickest to break the fast.â The best way for the one who is fasting is to break his fast with a few dates, then delay eating until after Maghrib prayer, so that he may combine the Sunnah of hastening to break the fast and praying Maghrib at the beginning of its time, in congregation, following the example of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
With regard to the hadeeths, âThere is no prayer in the presence of food or when resisting the urge to relieve oneselfâ and âIf âIshaâ and dinner come at the same time, start with dinner,â and similar reports, what is meant is if a person is offered food or if he comes to eat, then he should start with the food before praying, so that he can pray without his mind being focused on the food and his prayer then will be offered with proper focus and humility. But he should not ask for food to be brought before praying if that means that he will miss out on offering the prayer at the beginning of its time or praying in congregation.
And Allah is the source of strength; may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions. End quote.
Shaykh âAbd al-âAzeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh âAbd al-âAzeez Aal al-Shaykh, Shaykh âAbd-Allah ibn Ghadyaan, Shaykh Saalih al-fawzaan, Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd.

Mansfield Park by Tim Luscombe and directed by Colin Blumenau which is being staged at the Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds left to right: Mary Crawford (Kristin Atherton), Edmund (Pete Ashmore) and Fanny (Ffion Jolly)
Tuesday, September 18, 2012
The Theatre Royal is teaming up with First Stop Travel again to provide a bus service to and from the Bury St Edmunds theatre throughout its run of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park.
Launched earlier this year for Stagefright, it allows theatre-goers from across the region to shows without worrying about parking, missing the last train home or not being able to enjoy a drink at the bar in the interval. The Theatrebus will run along nine routes which reach across Suffolk, and into Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.
Booking a place not only gets you a show ticket and return bus travel, it also includes a free programme and a free drink at the bar.
The theatre's new adaptation of Mansfield Park runs until September 29 September.
The bus service will run between Tuesday, September 18 and Tuesday, September 25. For routes and stops nearest you or to book tickets contact the box office or visit www.theatreroyal.org

The UK's fastest-growing regional news network
See the full forecast for your area.
Sponsored by Britelite.
Last week it was reported nationally that parts of southern England had their wettest start to the year since records began.
In some areas in the South West of England rainfall has reached 222mm – with some villages hit by persistent flooding.
Sheppey appears to have escaped the worst of it, however, as a total of 72.8mm of rainfall was measured by Ken Beal, from his home in Eastchurch.
Although it seemed at times as if the weather would never let up, this was not the wettest January in his records. That accolade goes to the first month of 1995 when 98.5mm of rain hit the Island.
Last month was still a lot worse than January 2013 when 40.3mm was recorded. We had a particularly damp October with a massive 73mm falling in a single day, which helped the total for the month reach 135.8mm.
There were not any days with an exceptionally large amount of the wet stuff last month but rather lots of days of about 5mm.
In fact, the wettest day was the 28th with 9mm. Apart from January 6, 8, 10, 11, 20 and 24, it rained every single day, which could be why it seemed a lot wetter.
Mr Beal, who started measuring rainfall on behalf of the Environment Agency in 1994, said: "January was quite wet and I think there was more rain in Sheerness than we have had at this end of the Island.
"If I lived in Sheerness I probably would have had another 20mm in my gauge.
"It hasn't been as bad as it seems. I looked back and it was actually a lot wetter in the autumn of 1994 but then of course we had a massive amount of rain and it remained very wet for the rest of winter."

I don't know if you're going for girlie and fun over practical, but since you're going in June, I'd suggest some battery operated fans (not the spray bottle ones, just little tiny fans that run on AA batteries - we've got some that we've had for years, and bought at Walmart for a dollar each).
Also, maybe some rain ponchos. Our local dollar store has a two-pack for a dollar. They're disposable, and very flimsy, almost like trash bags shaped like ponchos - but they do the job. And given that rain here in the summer tends to be 15 minutes and done, it's nice to be able to take it off when the sun comes back out and not have to carry it around the rest of the day.
