How to use the Adobe Connect service
Adobe Connect is a video conferencing and collaboration tool. It runs as a Flash application in any web browser and so if completely platform-independent. It will run on any OS in any web browser, as long as you have a Flash plugin-in installed, and can use common video and audio peripherals for your computer. You don't need additional fancy hardware. Any USB webcam and microphone will do. It should be noted, however, that since it is Flash-based, depending on the content of your meeting, you may need to run it on a computer that has sufficient capability to run high-bandwidth applications.
The software is very flexible and relatively easy to use. Features include:
- streamed audio and video for all participants
- desktop sharing
- application sharing
- document sharing
- whiteboard
- text chat
- custom instant polling
... and many more.
There is also an optional desktop application that allows you to connect to a meeting outside of a web browser. It requires the Adobe AIR platform to be installed first. If you don't have AIR, you can get it here: http://get.adobe.com/air/. You can download the desktop application here: http://www.connectusers.com/downloads/ConnectDesktop.air.
The following sections outline common tasks for system users.
Logging in
Host server URL: https://connect.cis.ksu.edu
NOTE: this site uses self-signed SSL certificate for security, go ahead and allow it in your web browser
Login using credentials provided in email if one was sent to you.
Upon first login, you will be prompted to change your password.
If you are a member of the Meeting Hosts group, you can:
- create meetings
- create content (upload files for sharing)
- view Meeting and Saved Queries reports
If you are a member of Administrators, you can:
- manage users and groups
- manage all content, even if it was not created by you
- access private meetings created by any user
- manage and configure system-wide settings
If you are a Participant (not a Host or Presenter), you can
- only have access to meetings and content you have been invited to or are public
- cannot create meetings or content
Connecting to a meeting
If you receive an email invitation, click on the link provided in the email.
Alternatively, you can login to the server first and look at meetings you are allow to participate in.
- look at the My Meetings tab on the Home page
- click on Meetings in the menu bar at the top and look in My Meetings or Shared meetings
- click on the meeting you wold like to join
click on the Enter Meeting Room button to join the meeting
A meeting won't start until the host connects, you will sit at a waiting screen until they do.
If you will want to use your webcam or microphone in the meeting, you need to configure Flash to be able to use it.
- right-click anywhere on the meeting window and select Settings
- click on the Privacy tab (2nd, monitor with eye)
- select Allow
- check Remember
- click Microphone tab (4th, microphone icon)
- select mic you want to use and adjust volume if desired
- click Camera tab (5th, webcam icon)
- select camera you want to use
- click Close button
You will need to do this each time you connect to a meeting from a new computer. The settings are stored with Flash on the local machine, not on the Connect server.
Creating a meeting
This is a fairly simple wizard-based process. There are two ways to start the wizard:
click on New Meeting button on the Home page
click on Meetings in the menu bar at the top and then the New Meeting button
The only only required field when setting up the meeting is the Name, which can be any text you choose.
The custom URL is optional. If you don't fill it in, it will be a random string. You can set to specific text to help attendees find it more easily.
Set access limits as desired.
Add invitees if you like. These are users who already have accounts on the Connect server. This is completely optional as all you need to do is publish the URL for the meeting.
If you want to send an invitation from Connect, you can edit the message message text and limit its scope if desired.
All meetings and related content, including uploaded content and records, will remain available on the server until they are removed by the host or an administrator. There is no automated process for removing meetings.
Hosting a meeting
Windows on the meeting desktop are called "Pods".
If you will be using a webcam for video meeting, it won't start until you click on the Start My Webcam button in the Video pod.
Hosts have an extensive set of controls on their menu bar at the top of the screen which are used to control the look and features of the meeting. The following are explanations for each of these controls.
Meeting menu
Record Meeting: If you want to record a meeting so that it can be accessed later by participants, start recording by clicking on this recording does not start automatically, you need to click on this manually when the meeting starts.
Switch to Prepare Mode: This freezes the screen for all other participants so that you can modify the various layouts without them seeing you do it click End Prepare Mode when done and your layout will revet to the current one now you can select your new layout from the Layouts menu.
Enable Presenter-Only Area: This opens a new pod that only the presenter can see, useful for keeping notes. Hide this by clicking Disable Presenter Only Area.
Use this to create, manage (delete, rename), and select the layout you want to use for this meeting. layouts you create and save can be used in later meetings.
Use this menu to show, hide, and configure pods as desired. These are the standard pods available.
Share: select or add another document or application to share with the meeting
Notes: quick notes on the screen, can only be edited by presenters, but seen by all
Files: upload files for participants to download directly from meeting
Web Links: list of URLs for participants to click on
Poll: can add as many as you like throughout the meeting
Q&A: allows participants to send questions to presenters, like a PM
The following menu items control how the host can interact with pods.
Move and Resize: if enabled, host can adjust layout for all participants as desired
Manage Pods: rename and delete pods currently in use ore created during this meeting
Single Speaker Mode: mutes all other mics except for the Presenter
Enable Audio for Participants: let others talk if approved by Presenter
Controls for all users
There are some buttons/menus with icons at the top which control actions you can take during the meeting. Availability of these icons is dependent on your status in the meeting. If the icon is green, this means that the device is active. If it is white, then the device is inactive. Select the drop-down menu

- Click red Stop Sharing button in title bar of shared app/window to stop
- only Presenters can write
Audio/Video Tips
In general, the more audio and video streams that are active at once, the slower the client will run. If you don't need live video streams for all participants, you can get a headshot and keep that as a still image. Participants who are not talking should mute their audio at all times. It's very simple to mute/un-mute as necessary, so this is pretty easy to do.

I rarely use bleach. yesterday, I found out that the bleach is dispensed during the first rinse cycle, in my Samsung.
I got to thinking, would it be sensible to put vinegar in the bleach dispenser instead of the softener one? That way, the vinegar smell would have an extra rinse with which to be removed (not that I notice vinegar when the clothes come out of the washer when using the "Extra Rinse" option, which I use for every type of load, given the small amount of water used in a HE FL such as the Sammy). But I'm thinking it can't hurt for there to be TWO rinses, following the vinegar rinse. Anyone see ANY downside to this idea? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Put bleach in the bleach dispenser and vinegar in the softener dispenser. The vinegar smell will dissipate quickly and you shouldn't even notice it. |
- Posted by whirlpool_trainee (My Page) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 7:42
I tried this as well and it works fine. Commercial laundries call this process souring, I think. They add a chemical to the first rinse to neutralize the detergent. Alex |
Being that the diluted vinegar is very weak, I think the intent is to wait until the final rinse to dispense it so that it can effectively remove the scant detergent in the final rinse water. Otherwise, because the first rinse still has a lot of detergent dissolved in it, the diluted vinegar gets spent before it can act on the detergent still on the fabric. (The max line on all the compartments is equal to 1/2 cup of liquid.) In the Samsung, when the "Extra Rinse" option is selected, the machine does not dispense what is in the softener section until the 3rd and last rinse. What happens is that the during the 1st and 2nd rinses, only the bleach dispenser section gets flooded with water (all other compartments left dry). And then finally at the start of the 3rd rinse, the machine dispenses what's in the softener compartment, followed by a flooding of all the other compartments (I think to do a final purging/cleaning of laundry products left in the other compartments). |

I put it in both. Seems to do a good job helping get the last bit of detergent to rinse out. |
- Posted by livebetter (My Page) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 14:29
I use it often in the FS compartment. Love it for fine cottons and other things I don't use FS on. I might try adding to the bleach compartment too - just never thought of it before :) FWIW, Miele Canada told me using vinegar in your machine helps to keep it clean. |
If the bleach is dispensed during a rinse cycle, I think putting vinegar in there is a great idea. Our Miele W4842 dispenses the bleach during the last part of the wash cycle itself, so we won't have the same benefit you have. I don't know what would happen with vinegar getting added to the detergent mixture of the actual wash cycle, but it would definitely alter the chemistry somewhat due to the small amount of water. |
caviumum, I'd never add vinegar to the wash cycle, as vinegar helps to neutralize the alkalinity of the detergents. |
- Posted by livebetter (My Page) on Thu, Apr 19, 12 at 23:01
Ah ... thanks Cavimum. I would have checked first but now I don't have to. FS compartment it is! |

Lamb of God's John Campbell talks about the Czech incident and how his brother Jeff from 3 Kings Tavern defiled his Star Wars slippers
Aaron Thackeray Lamb of God's John Campbell is the brother of 3 Kings Tavern's Jeff Campbell. See the resemblence?
Lamb of God started in 1990 as an instrumental metal band called Burn the Priest. But it wasn't until 1995, after recording a few demos and playing countless house parties, that the band recruited singer Randy Blythe and started developing into the band you would recognize today as Lamb of God. With the release of 2000's New American Gospel, the band's first album with that moniker, the group began reaching wider and wider audiences with its evolving amalgam of groove-laden thrash, death metal and hardcore.

The 2006 album Sacrament was Lamb of God's breakthrough offering in terms of both artistic and commercial success. We recently had a chance to chat with the outfit's charming and drily humorous bassist, John Campbell, while Lamb of God is on tour for its latest album, Resolution about how he got into metal, the aftermath of the unfortunate incident over the summer in the Czech Republic and how his brother Jeff from 3 Kings Tavern once defiled his Star Wars slippers one Christmas.
Westword: When you started Burn the Priest, you were an instrumental band. Why that route initially, and how did people respond?
John Campbell: When we were an instrumental band, we were playing house parties in Richmond, Virginia, playing to tens of people. From the beginning, we wanted to develop the band and make the most insane, brutal music we could. In the process of doing that, we realized, "Man, we need a singer! Let's get a singer." We originally thought about getting a girl singer, and that would have been great. As it happened, there were some line-up changes, and we got a guitarist that happened to be in a band with Randy [Blythe], and the band broke up they were in.
Randy hopped trains for a summer, and the guitarist came into the folds of Burn the Priest -- we were a three piece at that point. We played a few shows, one of which Randy came to when he got back into town. Shortly afterward, we were talking about still needing a singer and that guitarist said, "Well hey, Randy's back in town. He used to sing for my other band." It just worked out organically [from there].
What got you into playing bass instead of another instrument?
When we were going to school in Richmond, everybody there is in a band and plays music or is an artist of some sort. [Virginia Commonwealth University] was a huge art school, and that was a draw to the community then. A friend of mine had a drum set up in his room with a bass rig and a guitar rig, and his roommate played bass, and his other roommate played guitar. I asked him if I could play drums, so I played drums for a little while with those guys, until the bass player took off for the summer and my friend said, "Man, you should play bass. I'm tired of listening to you beat the crap out of my drums." So I picked up the bass, and he started playing drums.
What kind of bass did you play at that time?
I think it was a P.O.S.? I'm not sure what model. The first bass that I bought that actually was not just a complete piece of junk was a Guild Pilot, bright blue. That thing had a tiny little neck and EMG pickups in it. For what I was doing, it fit the bill nicely.
Is that the one where, for reasons you can probably explain, you had only three strings on the bass?
Yes, it's really odd that that's become something that's become discussed at this point because the truth of the matter was that the tuning peg broke that held the lowest string, and I wasn't getting too busy on that string. Necessity being the mother of invention, I just took the tuning peg off the high string and plopped it in where the broken one had been and kept playing bass. Here I am several years later talking about it. It's kind of funny, though.
Presumably you didn't stick with that arrangement.
Oh, no, I've moved on since then. We're talking fifteen years ago.
What do you play these days?
A signature Jackson model, a Concert series that's basically modified to my specs. We're working on developing that a little bit further. I have a call with them later to discuss tightening up the specs on that, the Jackson with EMG pickups and a nice, tight little neck that is, in a lot of ways, similar to the Guild Pilot that I first started getting good at playing bass on.
Is it a four or a five string?
A four string. One of the bonuses of having three strings back in the day is when people started adding the fifth string to their basses. That's already two strings too many, right? I've never monkeyed around with a five string, to be perfectly honest. The opening track on the new record, I think, is in drop D. If you're playing songs like that all the time, you're going to need a fifth string for sure to hold that big a string that won't sound like total crap when you play it.
Do you have a bass tuned to drop D when you play the song live?
Oh, we don't play that song live. We're at the point in our careers where we have so many records, and we're playing about an hour and twenty-five minutes, which keeps us from wearing ourselves out too much and from wearing out the crowd and the crowd getting tired of listening to heavy music for so long. But in that amount of time we have, we have a lot of music we have to shove in there, so with each record it gets more and more difficult to put together a set list.

Includes the 100 oz (3 L) Mil Spec Antidote™ Short Reservoir with Quick Link™ Exit Port
Pack Weight: 0.5 lbs (.22 kg) with empty reservoir
Materials: 500D Cordura® Fabric front panel and yoke > 210D Nylon lining > Nylon webbing > 5 mm closed cell foam
Pack Dimensions: 16 in x 10 in x 3 in (40.6 cm x 25.4 cm x 7.6 cm)
PACK CLEANINGWe recommend wiping your pack with a damp cloth to remove dirt. If the pack is extremely dirty and needs a deeper cleaning, soak it in cool or warm water with a very mild soap. Rinse the pack thoroughly with cool water. If soap residue remains in the fabric, it may create suds if exposed to water or sweat.
DO NOT wash your pack in a washing machine. Machine washing may damage the pack or affect the integrity of the fabric and fasteners, and will void the Got Your Bak™ Guarantee.
RESERVOIR CLEANINGThe best way to care for your reservoir is to clean and dry it after every use, especially if you fill the reservoir with anything other than water. However, if a reservoir has not been cleaned after every use, and mold or discoloration develops:
1. Use hot water and a CamelBak Cleaning Tablet. (Or use 2 tablespoons of baking soda or bleach instead of CamelBak Cleaning Tab.) Mix the solution inside your reservoir and elevate the reservoir above the tube and Big Bite Valve. Pinch the bite valve, allowing the solution to flow into the drink tube and fill the bite valve.
2. Let the reservoir and cleaning solution sit in the reservoir and drink tube for about 30 minutes.
3. Wash the reservoir with hot water and mild soap. Be sure to completely rinse away the cleaning solution in the reservoir and drink tube before using again. You can also use CamelBak brushes from our Cleaning Kit to scrub your reservoir and drink tube. Brushes are the best way to ensure you are scrubbing all of the areas of the reservoir clean.
4. Once the reservoir is clean, be sure to air dry overnight so no moisture is trapped inside, which can cause mold to grow.
These steps will make your reservoir safe for use. If there are still spots left behind, these are permanent mold stains that may not be removable. However, your reservoir is still safe and usable after you've cleaned it.

I planted a new Meyer Lemon tree and I'm not sure when I should start to fertilize it. I posted a different post and everyone tells me 3 to 4 times a year (Feb, May and Sep). That is great and all, but I just planted this in the ground last Sunday. Do I need to wait till May for a 1st fertilization or is it ok to do it in Feb?
Also, I got a 15gal. and I have always understood it that if it's a 5gal. plant then you give it 5gal. of water, if it's 15gal. then you give it 15gal. of water. I used B1 and gave the plant 12gal. of water the same day I planted it. Can you please clarify about the fertilization and water requirements for a newly planted Mayer Lemon. Thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
That is a great question. I guess it also depends on your soil. Looks like you are in a warmer climate. For now as it is the winter season I'd do about half the gallons of the pot size. At first this may be a trial and error kind of thing. If you find that it gets thirsty you'll see the leafs start to droop or curl a little. Also it is good to lightly hose the leafs as well. For fertilizer you do cut back on fertilizing until you start seeing some blooms or fruits. Myself, I have a very small meyer Lemon tree and I do about half the amount of fertilizer twice as often. If that makes sense. But i'm sure you'll be fine. Start being a little light on watering and fertilizing and if you need to water more you'll know. Good luck! Great looking tree! |
Here is a link that might be useful: sunroomgardening.blogspot.com
I will try this out and see what I come up with. I will cut the watering to 8gal. each time the top layer of dirt looks dry. I plan to use AZ Best Citrus Fertilizer, and I plan to give it it's first fertilization at the end of Feb., this will give the plant a good month before any additional nutrients have been provided. Please if anyone sees any issues with my plan, speak up. Or even to suggest additional needs I'm not considering. Thanks, |
JR, don't water when the soil 'looks' dry. The surface of any bare soil will dry out very quickly, but the soil system underneath can remain moist for much longer. You'll have to get down and feel the soil beneath the surface. As a general rule, it is not recommended that newly planted trees be fertilized for several months. This allows the root system to establish itself before the top begins to flush. In your location, with all of that heat reflective block and stone, you want to encourage plenty of roots before the hot season begins. Once you've found a good citrus fertilizer, you should consider following the directions that accompany that product. Your gallons of water theory is off. Your little tree won't need near that amount for quite some time. Frequency depends upon how fast the soil drains, soil type, temperature, time of year, amount of sunlight, humidity, wind, and other factors. It looks like the tree trunk is wrapped with something. Am I seeing things? Could you take a close-up image of the tree trunk at soil level? I'd like to figure out what kind of soil that is. |
Rhizo, Thanks for the knowledge. Their is not anything wrapped around the tree trunk. I plan to take some pictures today after I get home from work. I will get some close-ups so you can see the current condition of the soil, tree trunk and foliage. I was looking at the foliage last night and it seems that is looks rough in some spots and good in others, I'm not sure if this happened after I planted it or if I just didn't notice it at the nursery. I will allow the roots to get established before I fertilize, do you have a time frame on when you would think that should be? I thought that seemed like a large amount of water for the plant. I will tone it back quite a bit. What do you think would be a good amount to start with when it does require watering? Thanks for your time and comments. |
Nice looking Meyer; I would expect it to start blooming soon. Rhizo is right about not fertilizing it when you plant it; the absence of nutrients encourages roots to grow in search of food; and that will be followed by leaf and branch growth. Because of the time of year, especially with expectation of bloom, I would wait about 3-4 weeks and then give it a light fertilizer; maybe again in another month if it is blooming; and after that I would rely on regular foliar fertilization (I spray my garden trees every 15 days) and then the first of May begin your regular 3 times per year fertilization. I fertilize my field trees January, May, and September with a side treatment of chelated minerals in July. |
Good you have those fences around the trees; I see a dog in one of the pictures. Dog urine is very concentrated and can seriously damage a young tree; cats are not quite so bad, but I would still keep them away if you can. |
She is a female, so no fire hydrant issue's here. LoL But the fence is to keep her paws from digging. Still has a couple years to go to get past the puppy stuff. |
Your trees leaves are showing a little chlorosis. If it gets worse or does not go away by the time it warms up, you need to start treatment for that. |

[494] Intradermal Nodular Fasciitis – A Rare Lesion: Clinicopathologic Analysis of 21 Cases
S de Feraudy, CDM Fletcher. Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
Background: Nodular fasciitis, a benign myofibroblastic proliferation that occurs in the subcutaneous tissues of the upper extremities, trunk, and head and neck of young adults, is not widely recognized to arise primarily within the dermis. The purpose of this study was to examine the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features of a series of intradermal nodular fasciitis.
Design: Clinical and pathologic features and immunohistochemistry were evaluated in 21 cases of intradermal nodular fasciitis retrieved from consult files, in some of which a diagnosis of sarcoma had originally been suggested. Clinical follow-up was obtained from medical records and referring physicians.
Results: 11 patients were female and 10 were male, with a median age of 27.5 years (range 8-77). 9 lesions arose on the trunk, 8 on the limbs, 4 on the head and neck. Pre-operative duration ranged from a few weeks to 12 months. Tumors presented as a solitary swelling, ulcerated or bleeding mass. Grossly, the lesions were solid, nodular, rubbery, or firm and 0.7 to 3 cm in greatest dimension. Histologically, the lesions were well-circumscribed, unencapsulated tumor nodules involving the reticular dermis in 13 cases and the deeper half of the dermis with superficial extension into the subcutaneous tissue in 6 cases. The epidermis was ulcerated in 11 cases. Tumors were composed of palely eosinophilic spindle cells with plump, spindle to oval nuclei, small nucleoli and indistinct cytoplasmic borders, arranged in short intersecting bundles, which in some areas exhibited a storiform pattern, set in a microcystic myxoid stroma. In a third of the cases, occasional multinucleate giant cells of osteoclastic type were identified. 3 cases were associated with extensive stromal hemorrhage, 3 cases showed keloidal hyalinisation, and in 2 cases there was metaplastic ossification. The median mitotic index was 2 per 10 hpf (range 1 to 6 per 10 hpf). Scattered collections of lymphocytes, less often plasma cells and extravasated red blood cells and hemosiderin were present. Immunostaining for smooth muscle actin was strongly positive in 8/9 cases while S-100 and caldesmon staining were negative in all cases examined. None of the lesions has recurred or metastasized.
Conclusions: Intradermal nodular fasciitis occurs most commonly on the trunk of young adults, appears to show morphologic features similar to nodular fasciitis at conventional sites and should not be confused with sarcoma.

Radiation Fears and the Reality of Thyroid Cancers
Robert Yanagisawa, MD
Associate Professor of Endocrinology
Program Director, Fellowship Training Program in Endocrinology
Mount Sinai School of Medicine
New York, NY
The most significant impact on general health from the nuclear power plant accident in Fukushima following the tsunami of 11 March 2011 may be fear of radiation exposure and the stress of not knowing its effect. By providing more information about the effect of radiation on the thyroid, this fear can be appropriately reduced.
Two thyroid hormones, thyroxin (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) are critical to infant development and control body metabolism in adults. In humans, the thyroid gland actively takes up iodide, oxidizes it, and couples it to other components to form thyroid hormone. Radioactive iodine (RAI) is also actively taken up. Children under 15 exposed to RAI are most at risk of developing thyroid nodules and cancers. Adults over 40 are generally not known to be affected.
During the 25 years since the Chernobyl accident, some 4000 cases of thyroid carcinoma and 15 deaths due to thyroid cancer are known from patients aged <19 at exposure. For Fukushima, thyroid cancer risk is expected to be significantly less. First, the amount of RAI released is ~10% of the Chernobyl accident. Second, the typical Japanese diet contains high iodine from seafood. In Chernobyl, patients were iodine deficient and thus predisposed to higher RAI uptake during exposure; similar to patients on 2 weeks of low iodide diet prior to RAI therapy to maximize uptake. Over 35,000 patients followed for 30 years after RAI therapy has not shown any significant increase in thyroid cancer.
In terms of internal exposure from contaminated food and water, to date, there has been no evidence for increased risk of thyroid carcinoma. Internal exposure is gradual and slow - reducing the risk of DNA damage. RAI emitted from the Hanford Nuclear site from 1944-1957 has not been tied to any significant increase in thyroid cancer incidence after 50 years.
To follow those exposed to a significant dose of RAI we recommend palpation of thyroid US and TFT. Any nodules greater than 1cm should have FNA for cytological confirmation if initial screening is benign, thyroid US every 3-5 years.

Glasses have often been considered a sort of fashion taboo. There's a misconception that you can only wear them if you have to because you need them to see. Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's era of fashion where glasses are the new "thing".
Although I actually do need glasses, I rarely ever wear them. For years, I've chosen to squint at the Starbucks menu instead of pulling out my glasses to see clearly. I'm not sure why the thought of wearing them always makes me uncomfortable. I felt like everyone stares at the person wearing glasses. I mean, they are on your face.
When Firmoo contacted me to do a product review, I decided to take the plunge. I could have easily selected a pair of sunglasses from their huge selection, but I decided to do my eyes a favor and get a pair of prescription glasses. The whole "nerd" look is in right now and I was so excited to try it on myself!
Firmoo did not disappoint. The glasses are high quality and they feel so comfortable on. I've yet to pair them with a high-fashion outfit but I've worn them with causal clothes like the outfit pictured above. In this outfit, I used a long shirt from Art and Soul Boutique as a tunic and paired it with leggings for a super comfy look. I'm slowly taking baby steps to make these babies a major part of my wardrobe.
If you've been wanting to try the glasses trend or if you just want a new pair, check out Firmoo's first fair free program. Yep, you heard that right. No catch. Just head on over to Firmoo, pick out your first pair, pay for shipping only, and... that's it! I mean, you might as well try it out right?
My husband actually loves them and is even thinking about getting a pair for himself! They have tons of glasses for both men and women to choose from. I'll try to convince him to let me snap some pictures of him ;)
What do you think? Do I look like a complete loser or are the glasses tolerable? Is there a trend that you've been dying to try but are nervous about it?

.- Correction on Nov. 27, 2013 at 11:09 a.m. MST: Original article incorrectly stated that Msgr. Luciano Alimandi was among the four priests called back to dioceses. Msgr. Alimandi is now working in the Secretariat of State. CNA apologizes for the inaccuracy.
At least 30 priests employed in Vatican departments may be removed from their posts and sent to dioceses in the following months, according to three different Vatican sources.
"The Congregation for Clergy will be the first of the list," a Vatican source familiar with the congregation told CNA Nov. 14.
Four priests employed in the congregation have been called to serve in dioceses. According to the source, they were "all part of the Cardinal Mauro Piacenza's inner circle." He was prefect of the Congregation for Clergy until last September.
Cardinal Piacenza was appointed to lead the Vatican's Apostolic Pentientiary tribunal on Sept. 21. Archbishop Beniamino Stella replaced him as prefect for the Congregation of the Clergy.
A second source who had been recently in touch with Archbishop Stella explained to CNA Nov. 10 that "many changes are awaited in the Congregation."
The source also maintained that "Pope Francis seemingly wants to have less employees in the Vatican departments, and aims to send the most priests he can to serve in parishes and dioceses."
Pope Francis' reform, the source assured, "would give more power to the local bishops. In the past, when there was a difficult case to handle, an official of the Congregation was sent for an on-site visit to report on it. In the future, local bishops could be entrusted with these reports, thus taking part of the work of the Vatican dicasteries."
According to another source who spoke to CNA Nov. 14 and asked for anonymity, "the changes would involve all the Vatican departments."
The source underscored that "when appointed as member of the Council of Eight Cardinals, Cardinal Giuseppe Bertello made several visits to Vatican Congregations, asking each of them a list of people the Congregation could do without."
According to the source, the list will include about 30 people, all priests. The source added that "part of the priests had been requested back by their home dioceses."

Must have been his second wish
Congrats Walmazan! You're my favorite artist on Woot!
Aww, It reminds me of Brave Woman.
Something about the use of the old timey plane makes this design just that much more heart-warming to me. Well done once again senor Walmazan, I salute you.
Great design. Even though I was informed by my Penguin loving son that it is too cute for a guy to wear and that the cute penguin has to be balanced with something a little more manly such as a polar bear (One Flight per Customer), I think I will get it for him anyways.
This penguin has defied the laws of nature and begun to fly. The consequences are grave. He must flee the country or face prosecution in small fowl's court.
The shading on the penguin's left wing almost makes it look like he's flipping the bird at all the naysayers... which would be appropriate since his wish was to fly to like a bird. Congratulations on the print, Walmazan!
Congratulations, Walmazan! I should just place a standing order for any shirt you design. It would save some time. =)

Vintage aircraft aren't "manly" enough for him? Oy.
It makes me think of When Penguins Attack and the Penguin Attack series of games. http://armorgames.com/play/4600/when-penguins-attack-td
This reminds me more like "Pororo" the Little Penguin...
Too adorable to pass up! I got one for myself and would've got another for my toddler son but Kids 2 is not offered.
Flying penguins, the eternal dream. But at what cost to our dry cleaning bills? Congrats on a great print, W!
congrats Wences!!!
Yay, Wences!!
Whoa! He must've loop-dee-looped to be passing his own sky writing!
Congrats on another great print, Walmazan!!
I have no problems with penguins flying but I have to wonder how the clumsy fowl is able to waddle up the wing into the cockpit.
A penguin... and he's been drinking!
Wow Woot and walmazan, how did you know it was my birthday to honor me with a shirt? :-P

Announcing the launch of NAME's 2014 Annual Campaign…
…for donations and gifts that will
significantly increase the capacity of NAME to sustain our work and expand our reach.
From the announcement by President Kevin Kumashiro:
"For over twenty years, the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME) has boldly advocated for equity and social justice in schools and society, and has provided invaluable support to thousands of educators, counselors, school leaders, community members, and young people who embrace and engage in multicultural education. In these challenging times for schools, NAME is more committed than ever before to expand its initiatives and resources … and we need your help to do so.
Today, we are launching an Annual Campaign for donations and gifts that will significantly increase the capacity of NAME to sustain our work and expand our reach.
Why donate? As the president of NAME, whether I am visiting our local chapters or greeting attendees at our regional and national conferences, I am fortunate to hear from people across the country. In these stories of struggles and challenges, and of innovations and accomplishments, I am struck by the various roles that NAME has played as a source of support and community. From our conferences and professional development opportunities to our publications and online resources, NAME is striving to provide the resources that you need to make our schools and society better places for all.
But we can and must do more. The attacks on public education, the scapegoating of teachers, the "reforms" that purport to support struggling communities but that actually widen inequities—these are becoming more and more pervasive, to a point where teachers are telling us that they feel more demoralized and less able to truly teach than ever before. NAME has recently launched new initiatives that reflect our commitment to building a stronger movement for equity and justice in education: from our media toolkit on teacher evaluation, and our summer institute and forthcoming book on diversifying the teacher workforce, to our support for the legal struggles to protect ethnic studies, and our partnerships with local and national organizations on common causes.
We need your help to do even more than ever. Please help to kick off our Annual Campaign by making your tax-deductible donation today, and please encourage others to become a member of NAME and/or to support this Campaign."
Or visit http://nameorg.org/support for instructions on how to make a donation by check.

my cuttings that i got in august or september are not showing any roots and the claws are so sticky that the tiny appearing leaves are stuck to it. i don't see how the leaves could ever open and really i have not seen one open. when the leaves turn black and i try to pull them off they are so sticky that that it pulls away with goo. is this normal?
tia |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tia, this is when they start going to sleep, so unless you can fool your cuttings with bottom heat and lots of light they will most likely not root until next spring. The sticky goo at the top is pretty normal. Many of mine started tiny claws that went black when the days got shorter and I just pull them off. The orange sticky stuff seems to be there to stop insects from sucking on the tender tips. |

OWENSBORO, Ky. (2/28/14) — Owensboro Public School Board of Education sailed through a light agenda at its meeting Thursday night, with highlights that included the recognition of several different students' groups and a Teacher of the Year finalist.
Carrie Wedding, who works as an educator at Owensboro Middle School South, was honored for her accomplishment of being named a Kentucky Department of Education Special Education Teacher of the Year Finalist at a ceremony late last year in Louisville.
The board also heard from WKU staff regarding its intercultural program and the bus it uses to reach students who might live too far away to routinely visit the WKU campuses.
In regular business, the board approved a series of action and consent agenda items, several of which had already been presented to the board at noon luncheons held earlier in the month.
At a luncheon on Tuesday, OPS Superintendent Nick Brake presented a preliminary budget based on expectations in funding and requirements by the state in the coming fiscal year.
According to information provided by the district, a proposed salary increase for school personnel could cost the district more than $700,000 in additional wages.
It was pointed out the state would only cover a portion of that under the proposal.Dennis Beard

Americans, you peel Indian mangoes ONLY yourself for sheer pleasure and not because some stupid manual tells you so
However, I don't mind. I have had a shot at the best of mangoes for a long time because I was born and raised in western Maharashtra-truly a mango country.
For us, lunches in summer were subservient to mango. Every thing else on the plate was distant second. We ate almost six chapattis daily for a lunch, a number that would dwindle to two or three once mangoes departed for the year. Mango aroma (particularly of Payari and Hapus, characterized for their juice and meat respectively) filled the air of April, May and part of June. By the way- mangoes never left us fully because our parents would cook a mango jam (known in Marathi as Muramba or Sakharamba) with the last crop of Hapus (Alphonso) that hit the market every year.
Americans are obsessed with sex. Now, they have some thing equally sensuous to fuss about. This summer I see pictures of white Americans, wearing jackets, sitting at the table with knife and fork to eat Indian mangoes. I feel they need some training eating mangoes. Kamasutra of eating mangoes.
Here is the Chapter I:
"Eat them with your bare hands. First feel them up. Then smell them for a while. Now peel them slowly, eat portion sticking to its skin. Remove the entire skin continuing this process.
Now feel the naked fruit in your hand. You are ready to eat it. Tuck into it until you reach the seed. Lick the seed until no meat is left there. If your mango is indeed the original Hapus, the licked seed should leave no fiber on its shell or in your mouth.
Clean your bloodied hands but not with strong soap. A true mango should leave behind its aroma long after hands are washed."
Artist: Alan Dunn The New Yorker 31 July 1943

In light of Instagram's recent scare, Free the Photos online app allows users of the popular photo enhancing app to transfer their photos safely to a Flickr account.
Instagram recently announced that it holds the rights to all photos uploaded using their app without having to notify the pictures' owners. With large companies and celebrities debating on deleting their Instagram account for good, the Free the Photos app helps streamline this process by providing a simple solution. The only downside to the migration process from Instagram to Flickr is that free Flockr accounts only allows 300MB per month to be transferred, which is equivalent to approximately 10,000 photos. This may be a problem for prolific photographers and big companies so it may be worthwhile to look into upgrading, even if it's only for the first few months.

The scene looks just as it might have before the farmers came with their plows and irrigation ditches that made possible the uniform rows of corn standing in a field just beyond the cattle. Just as it might have, except for the traffic and the gigantic subdivision next door in various stages of construction -- from finished houses to scraped-off dirt ready for the cement mixer. When the project is finished, 800 houses will stand here, ranging in price from $250,000 to $400,000, a chunk of which represents the cost of water the developer had to purchase to win approval for his plans.
Five miles from the nearest town, LaSalle, and ten more from the nearest city, Greeley, the houses are perched on dry, treeless ground just begging for someone to cart in truckloads of bluegrass sod and evergreens to transform the prairie into another all-American neighborhood. Country homes without the farm chores: big house on the prairie.
Beyond the windmill, the cattle, the corn and the construction, a low-lying cover of gray clouds stretches in all directions. A Canadian high-pressure system has shoved cold air down the eastern side of the Rockies from Canada to Mexico, and the condition is expected to linger for a few more unseasonably chilly days. The front is a sign that nature and man should begin shutting down for the winter. The giant aluminum irrigation sprinklers rest off to the sides of the field, their work for the year finished. A week remains in the growing season, when those who own the oldest rights to Colorado water can still take it, but few still need it for crops.
Southwest of here, over by Platteville, the St. Vrain River completes its run from the Continental Divide; the flow is stronger than it has been since the spring runoff as it merges into the South Platte River. The South Platte is full to its banks, covering all but the tallest sandbars as it glides past LaSalle and on toward Greeley and points east. The reasons for the rivers' apparent abundance are interconnected: After harvest, the farmers no longer need the water, and late-summer rains and early snow in the mountains have finally brought some relief to earlier drought conditions. But more significantly, much of the water -- as much as half -- given to crops during the summer is returning to its source through a subsurface flow.
Still, the South Platte will be called on many more times before it reaches the Nebraska border. There is never enough water to fill all the demands, especially in a time of drought. So on days like today, eyes turn west, hoping for snowfall in the mountains and precipitation on the plains.
The current conditions, however, are little more than a tease. The Canadian system has brought cold and fog but not much moisture. "Hardly got a drizzle 'round here today," says Ted Oster, a 65-year-old farmer.
These days Oster farms only hay, which grew well in the exceptionally warm spring and summer. But without his shares of supplemental water from the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, he would have been out of water -- and subsequently out of half of his crop -- in mid-July. With the CBT shares, though, he got through the season just fine. His hay, along with most of the corn grown in the area, is bound for the feedlots and dairy farms that keep moving farther east to escape the encroaching industrial and residential developments.
Now it's time for winter projects -- like completing the garage, the latest addition to the simple brick farmhouse where he and his wife, Elaine, raised three daughters. The original house was built in the 1880s. Oster bought it in 1963, adding a room and screened porch during the winter of 1972. He'd planned to do more, "but I ran outta money," he explains, and he isn't the sort to run up a lot of debt. Last winter, he and his two brothers finally got around to adding a spacious kitchen and dining area, as well as bricking in the porch for the sunroom his wife wanted. Today he's putting up shelves in the garage with the help of his friend, Walter Schlagel, and daughter, Susan, who, he proudly announces, recently graduated from Colorado College.
Oster was born nearby, "over on Road 49...six miles east of here and one and a half south. My dad built the house I was born in, he did." But his ties to this land go deeper.
In the "18-somethin'-or-others," he says, his paternal grandparents left their farm in Odessa, Russia, when his father, John Oster, was eight years old. The family got off the train in Hudson, about twenty miles due south of here, with very little money and even fewer words of English. "A real estate agent met them at the station, took 'em out and showed 'em a place," Oster says, "and they bought it on the spot, they did. That's how easy they were to get along with."

"Natalie Mering, the brains behind the indie-folk outfit Weyes Blood, has seen a great deal of the country in the past few years. She has toured as a member of noise-rock outfit Jackie-O Motherfucker and alongside Nautical Almanac, although most listeners will recognize her robustly forlorn voice from Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti's Mature Themes. After the release of her 2011 label debut, The Outside Room, she has wandered America like a Steinbeck character (anyone who adapts her stage name from a Flannery O'Connor novel will certainly be familiar with literary references)."

Program Description:
The earth has disappeared beneath my feet,

It fled from all my ecstasy,

Now like a singing air creature

I feel the Rose

Keep opening.

My heart turned to effulgent wings.

When has love not given freedom?

When has adoration not made one free?

A woman broken in tears and sweat

Stands in a field

Watching the sun and me

trade jokes.

Yesterday, Amy Winehouse died. Her death was probably drug related since the singer suffered a long-term addiction to various substances – heroin, crack/cocaine, crystal meth and alcohol if I remember correctly. But I'm too sad to Google it. Not because I knew Amy and feel the grief of a lost loved one. Rather, I'm sad about how our society views addiction and, similarly, mental illness.

A few weeks ago my roommate and I were watching one of those Kardashian shows on E! (don't judge us!). We got to talking about how pretty women just get stuff because of how they look, and how it must be for Kim K. getting dick thrown at her all day, every day. You've seen her, you know what I mean. During this conversation with the roomie, I admitted that while I in no way approach the pulchritude of the Kardashian ass, I do get hit on at least once a day and it gets old, doesn't she know what I'm talking about. Apparently, she doesn't.

Is an employee with managerial duties "similarly situated" to a manager?
Maybe it's the luck of the draw, but most of the discrimination cases I defend are hostile work environment cases, where an alleged harasser supposedly has made an employee-victim's life miserable with certain comments, jokes, gestures, touchings, you name it.
Far less often do I encounter disparate-treatment claims. A disparate-treatment claim is one where an employee claims that another similarly-situated employee in another class was treated more favorably because of his/her protected class. For example, a female employee claims that similarly-situated male employees are paid more because they are men.
Sounds like the facts of a recent case decided right in my backyard in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. This case provides a great opportunity to go back to school on what it means to be similarly-situated...after the jump...

SAN DIEGO, August 20, 2013 —The advent of the Silver Tsunami will challenge perceptions about human sexuality and aging in today's youth oriented society.
10,000 Americans turn 65 each day, resulting in an unprecedented population of older adults in the US.
SEE RELATED: Transcending Politics: Former President Bush's recent surgery
According to the National Register of Health Service Psychologists, "One out of every six Americans will be over the age of 65 by the year 2020. In the case of older adults and sexuality, older people are stereotyped as being non-sexual beings who should not, cannot, and do not want to have sex."
Ageism is "the stereotyping of and discrimination against people simply because of their age," according to the 2013 Older Adult Sexuality Reference on SeniorSex.org. But it may soon become a stigma of the past.
Our society will be forced to accommodate vast demographic, economic, political and social phenomena, including coming to terms with the fundamental human need of older adults for intimacy.
People who are married have greater frequency of sex than those who are single. WebMD.com, in a 2008 report, highlighted the following statistics:
SEE RELATED: Valuing America's children: Breaking free from childhood obesity
-Between ages 18-29: Reportedly 112 times a year.
-Between ages 30-39: Reportedly 86 times a year.
-Between ages 50-59: Reportedly 69 times a year.
According to the BBC News, Online Network, it has been reported by scientists that a regular sex life is an immunity booster, and that it could "help ward off colds and flu."
SEE RELATED: Reshaping America by embracing the truth about obesity
Although it would make sense that physical, emotional, and lifestyle changes due to aging could have implications such as declining levels of sexual activity, a 2007 study by the New England Journal of Medicine discovered that "70 percent of people age 57-64 were sexually active. More than half of 65-74 year olds and 26 percent of 75-85 year olds were sexually active."
This is promising news for millions of baby boomers who are well-known for debunking social norms and choosing their own ways of living life to the fullest.
"As boomers are getting older, they are less likely to accept that they are supposed to be sexless," said Dr. Janice Epp of the Institute of Advanced Study of Human Sexuality.
As positive and promising as social change might be, there are commonly known challenges impacting sexual intimacy which are directly connected to aging. The National Institute on Aging suggests the following factors as possible contributors to a slowing down in sexual activity:
-Chronic pain.
-Heart disease.
For the countless single, middle-aged and older adults who are pursuing their passions, remember that you are just as susceptible to contracting sexually transmitted diseases as those who are younger.
The following resources might provide assistance and answers to your questions as you pursue the most fulfilling intimate life for you:
National Institute on Aging
Information Center
1-800-222-2225 (toll free)
1-800-222-4225 (TTY/toll-free)
National Library of Medicine
Medline Plus
You may benefit from discussions with trusted family members, friends, and health care providers. Also, consider checking out relevant support groups in your area.
Since "A good sex life is an important part of an individual's overall health," says Mark Schoen, Ph.D., Director of Sex Education for the Sinclair Intimacy Institute, it is also an exciting time to live your life well and passionately.
Through the choices older adults make and the examples they set, they can help shift society's perceptions about aging and what it means to be fully human at any age.
Until next time, enjoy the ride in good health!

The Village of Potsdam is nestled in the St. Lawrence River Valley near the northern foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. The scenic Racquette River bisects the community and provides residents and visitors with panoramic riverine views, convenient recreational access and is a source of renewable energy for the Village's generation of hydro-electric power. Settled in 1802, the Village was recognized as one of the industrial and commercial centers of St. Lawrence County given its hydropower assets, its agricultural and mineral wealth. Today the Village is best known as a center for health care, education and retail trade in Northern New York.
Welcome, and please have a look around!

For More Information Contact: Fred Hanss, Director of Planning and Development/265-1670
Village of Potsdam Mayor Steven Yurgartis announced today that the Villages application to the New York State Department of Transportations Transportation Alternatives Program has been selected to receive a $400,000 grant to develop and construct the proposed Downtown Riverwalk. Id like to express my appreciation to Governor Cuomo, Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald, Congressman Bill Owens, State Senator Joe Griffo and Assemblywoman Addie Jenne Russell for selecting Potsdam to receive a grant through this highly competitive program, said Mayor Yurgartis.
"Potsdam is on the move! This is more than about taking a nice walk; it is about economic development. Together we are making Potsdam a place where even more people will want to come to live, work, study or play, and that is good news for all of us. The Riverwalk will be a terrific addition to the expanding network of trails in the Village, the Mayor remarked. The Village of Potsdam envisioned a looped pedestrian walkway and bicycle path that would follow the Raquette River shoreline in its 2012 Downtown and Waterfront Revitalization Plan, the Mayor said. In addition to connecting our residents and visitors to the Raquette River, we believe that the project will provide more direct connections between the Villages universities and our residential neighborhoods to the merchants and services available downtown.
The Villages proposal will take advantage of existing sidewalks and public parks and link these together with new bike and pedestrian paths. The Riverwalk will be roughly one mile in length and feature wayfinding signage, street lighting and scenic overlooks; it will be accessible to persons with physical disabilities. The Downtown Riverwalk will begin at the corner of Maple and Market Streets and travel in a westerly direction crossing over the twin bridges the river, connect to a village-owned lane on the west side of the Raquette River behind the Swan Landing Apartments, re-cross the river via Sandstoner Drive, connect at Garner Park and travel east on Raymond Street and turn south on Market returning the starting point. The Villages budget for the project is $502,275.00; of this the Villages local share is $102,275.
The Mayor noted that this is the second high priority capital project included in the Villages 2012 Downtown and Waterfront Revitalization Project. The Village substantially completed the ambitious renovation of Ives Park using grant assistance provided by the New York State Department of States Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. Our resident advisory committee and Planning and Development Office did a tremendous job developing our downtown revitalization strategy; and, we are beginning to see the benefits of this planning and grant-writing effort. The Mayor said. In addition to this project, he said the Department of Transportation will be undertaking a major renovation of the Maple Street bridges in 2015 that will provide enhanced bicycle and pedestrian facilities and contribute to the attractiveness and functionality of the Riverwalk.
For more information on the Downtown Riverwalk Project contact Fred Hanss, Director of Planning and Development.
October 15, 2014
Starting October 20, 2014 the Department of Public Works will shift to winter hours as follows:
Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Washington DC, Oct 26, 2011 -- USDA Rural Development and Adams County Arts Council Cuts Ribbon For Community Arts Center
Gettysburg, Oct. 27, 2011 – USDA Rural Development State Director Thomas Williams and Adams County Arts Council officials celebrated the opening of a new community arts center today with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
"This project will help not only provide a much needed infrastructure improvement in Gettysburg, but it will also help to expand cultural and educational amenities available to the local community," said Williams.
The Adams County Arts Council building is being funded, in part, through the USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Direct Loan Program. USDA Rural Development's Community Facilities Program helps finance essential community facilities for public use in rural areas. These facilities include child care centers, hospitals, medical clinics, assisted-living facilities, fire and rescue stations, police stations, community centers, public buildings and transportation. Through this program, USDA ensures that such facilities are available to all rural residents. These funds are available to public bodies, non-profit organizations and federally recognized Indian tribes.
Through its Rural Development mission area, USDA administers and manages more than 40 housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a network of approximately 110 employees located in 11 offices throughout Pennsylvania. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers, and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. For more information on programs offered by USDA Rural Development, contact the Pennsylvania State Office at (717) 237-2299 or visit its website at www.rurdev.usda.gov/pa.

text: Access Mexico EarlyTo access Mexico early, travel to the bridge called "Frontera Bridge." Ride your horse quickly to the end of the bridge and get off the horse, letting it plummet into the water below. Do not call a new horse. Walk backwards until the railroad tracks start running into solid ground, turn left and go down a steep slope to the riverbank. There should be many small bushes by the river here. The music should also switch. If you don't hear the music, start over. Set up a campsite when you hear the music and you will find yourself on the Mexican side of the river. To get back, you have to travel to the bridge called "Romita de la Baya." Do the same thing with the horse here, let it fall into the river and set up a campsite on the island. The campsite should be near the edge of the island to the north, either to the left or the right of the bridge. You can also listen to the music here, when you hear the music change back to the "American" music, you can set up your camp and you will be back on the north side of the river. |
