Bronx Park
The Daily Plant : Wednesday, March 27, 2002
Ribbon-cuttings in parks and playgrounds usually involve shiny scissors in the hands of Parks and elected officials, but Monday's event in Cunningham Park was unique. This time, a John Deere Gator 6x4 diesel-powered utility vehicle broke through the green ribbon.
On Monday, March 25, Parkies, Friends of Cunningham Park and elected officials shivered under a tent in Cunningham Park to celebrate the addition of a John Deere Gator to the Parks' fleet. This new turf utility vehicle will join the 3 other Gators already hard at work in Queens. The Gator will be fully equipped with a 500-gallon water tank to water plants and flower beds, making it draught-efficient during this Stage 1 Draught Emergency, as declared by Mayor Bloomberg yesterday. The Gator's sleek design and heavy duty tires make it ideal for maintaining Cunningham Park's nature trails and its bright green paint job fits right in with the rest of the Parks' fleet
Friends of Cunningham Park secured the J.M. Kaplan grant to fund the Gator. Speaking of the accomplishments of Friends of Cunningham Park, Commissioner Benepe said, "over the years they have not only helped keep the park clean and green, but their innovative programming enriches the lives of everyone in the neighborhood." At the event, Commissioner Benepe and the other officials climbed aboard the vehicle to take it for a test spin.
Cunningham Park has long history of transportation innovation. In 1908, the park was the site of the nation's first automobile highway. During prohibition, rumrunners and bootleggers allegedly moved their wares along the road. In 1938, to the delight of walkers, joggers, and bicyclists, the street was closed and has been enjoyed by park patrons ever since.
Joining Commissioner Benepe at the ribbon-cutting was Borough Commissioner Richard Murphy, Council Member Jim Gennaro, Assembly Member Mark Weprin, President of Friends of Cunningham Park Marc Haken, and Community Board 8 member Martha Taylor.

A number of schoolchildren in the Bronx were treated to a variety of Native American sights and sounds yesterday, as more than 200 youngsters from local schools gathered in Bronx Park to pay tribute to the borough's rich Indian legacy.
The tots, some wearing colorful Native American headdresses made of paper, marveled as Boy Scouts performed Indian dances and an authentic Parks totem pole and teepee were unveiled during a dedication ceremony to name the Bronx parks headquarters "Ranaqua."

Mel Smith: Comedian, actor, writer, producer and director who leapt to fame on 'Not The Nine O'Clock News'
Not the Nine O'Clock News arrived on BBC2 in 1979, a bridge between the posher Monty Python and the apocalyptic The Young Ones.
Its stars, Rowan Atkinson, Pamela Stephenson, Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith were a disparate bunch, though all proved adept at upsetting the apple cart in spoof news reports such as "Mrs Thatcher has ordered an immediate enquiry into the number of jobless blacks: she feels there aren't enough." But despite his just-got-out-of-bed appearance, Mel Smith's life before the programme was not in confrontational stand-up but in theatre directing. He was also a talented actor whose versatility was too rarely explored or appreciated.
Born in Chiswick in 1952, the son of a bookmaker, Smith began his directing career at the age of six with the help of the children's handbook Little Plays for Little People, and soon after was bewitched by Hancock's Half-Hour. He attended Hogarth Primary School and Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith, and read experimental psychology at New College, Oxford as a means of joining the Dramatic Society. He became President but ditched his studies after two years to direct at the Oxford Playhouse, where a well-received Tempest was seen by the Royal Court's new Artistic Director, Oscar Lewenstein.
Lewenstein made him an assistant director. It was a lively time in the Court's history, with the now legendary Beckett and South African seasons achieving great acclaim. While there Smith assisted such powerful forces as Lindsay Anderson and Anthony Page, but years on still winced at the memory of Beckett's Not I (1973). A nightmarish experience devised to work on "the nerves, not the intellect", it saw Billie Whitelaw locked in place in a pitch-dark theatre with a spotlight on her mouth as she performed verbal nausea for 15 harrowing minutes. It was frightening, theatre to its square root, but Smith was dismayed at having to spend a day auditioning actors for the role of the cloaked figure who stands stage right throughout and whose only duty is to raise his arms weakly four times throughout the monologue.
He then worked at the New Vic, Bristol, and for two years was Associate Director of the Sheffield Crucible (where he turned down a young Elaine Paige for My Fair Lady). He directed and acted alongside Antony Sher in Stephen Poliakoff's American Days (1979) at the ICA, but at the Young Vic clashed with its head, Michael Bogdanov, and quit, telling his dad he was now ready to take over the betting shop.
The following day a phone call came from the BBC comedy producer John Lloyd inviting him to become part of Not the Nine O'Clock News. Lloyd had seen Smith perform in Edinburgh the year that Smith had first met Griff Rhys Jones, who had then been in the Cambridge Footlights. Once the series got underway the two worked particularly well together, and became friends by nature of the fact that journalists who arrived to interview the four tended to be fascinated by Atkinson and besotted with Stephenson, leaving them to their own devices.
The show was described by the critic Philip Purser as "erratic and fitful, but emitting at least two beautiful jokes every week", an early example being a delicious parody of the uproar over Life of Brian (1979). Together Smith and Jones delivered many memorable moments over the show's three years, including a savage attack on The Two Ronnies that managed to seriously offend the usually mild-mannered Ronnie Barker, while other Smith delights included playing a liberal parson who thinks "Christians should have a bit less of the 'get-thee-behind-me Satan' and more of a 'come in me old mate and have a cuppa tea'", a tweedy man who makes the fatal mistake of walking into a trendy hi-fi shop and asking to buy "a gramophone", and his deadpan reading of news reports such as "we've just heard that the Italian entry to the Eurovision Song Contest, 'I Can't Get No Contraception', has been cancelled, after the Pope advised them to pull it out at the last minute."
Immediately the series finished Smith took on a straight leading role in the brutal Muck and Brass (1982). The grimy saga of an unscrupulous property developer grippingly exposed Thatcher's Britain as a society on the skids, chicanery and corruption the meat and drink of the fat cats who are the new power elite. Smith followed his ballsy performance up with another good one as a menacing music mogul in Minder (1984), but there was still more mileage in him as a comedy performer, and the same year he reunited with his old oppo for Alas Smith and Jones (1984-98). While it was less ambitious than Not the Nine O' Clock News, there were still strong moments throughout the long run, especially the entertaining head-to-heads, Jones as "the idiot who knows nothing" and Smith as "the idiot who knows everything."
Colin's Sandwich (1988-90) should have been the most celebrated of his comedy performances, but despite a dedicated cult following, the show was largely overlooked by the public and critics. As Colin Watkins, who handles complaints for British Rail and dreams of becoming a horror writer, Smith created a histrionic neurotic who every week was hilariously sucked into another maelstrom of humiliation and persecution. Smith hoped for it to be a kind of modern-day Hancock, but the comparison was actually inaccurate and unfair and it was a highly original and witty series in its own right.
Smith and Jones formed Talkback Productions in 1981, a company they sold to Pearson in 2000 for £62 million, along the way having created a steady stream of comedy shows featuring new talent including I'm Alan Partridge (1997), Big Train (1998) and Smack the Pony (1999).
Smith's film career included starring with Jones in the enjoyable Wilt (1990) and directing Atkinson in the very successful Bean (1997). His directorial debut, The Tall Guy (1989), was his most endearing piece, a funny and saucy love story scripted by Richard Curtis that Smith himself thought his career highlight. For all its success though, Bean wasn't really up his street, and he claimed the price of its success was being sent silly scripts he wasn't interested in doing.
Instead he returned to his stage roots, acting at the Edinburgh Fringe in Allegiance (2006), in which he played Churchill to Michael Fassbinder's IRA leader Michael Collins. The publicity stunt of Smith threatening to flout the smoking ban during the performance certainly got the play noticed, but also rather clouded the strong script and his impressive performance. The following year he directed Stephen Tompkinson in Charley's Aunt and then bowed out on stage with his musical theatre debut, as Wilbur Turnblad in a very bouncy revival of Hairspray (2007-08) at the Shaftesbury Theatre.
Mel Smith will be remembered for being one of the most high-profile, energetic and consistently funny comedy performers of the 1980s. But he should also be remembered for his passion for the stage, his capabilities as a straight actor and his success as a film director. And for nurturing a wealth of young talent throughout the 1990s, so much of which has gone on to achieve things as great Smith did himself.

An uncompromising look at an important statesman,
This review is from: Kissinger: A Biography (Paperback)
As Walter Isaacson will tell you, Kissinger is the sort of man who will draw polar reactions from people-- you either love him or hate him. This makes it difficult to write an objective biography of him while still providing useful commentary. Isaacson succeeds brilliantly. Although he is very penetrating in analyzing Kissinger's techniques and views as National Security Advisor and later as Secretary of State, he stops short of giving us his views on whether they were good and bad, focusing instead on whether or not they worked, and what reaction they provoked. This leaves the reader to form their own opinion on whether or not Kissinger was justified in his actions, or if his policies were the best ones. This is as it should be-- Kissinger is too complex a subject and too emotional a topic to be fed someone else's reaction to his actions. Isaacson points out the successes of Kissinger's noted duplicity and his pragmatic, sometimes ruthless, worldview, as well as the negative reactions it often drew, but leaves the reader to decide their own opinion. What Isaacson does is provides an excellent insight into Kissinger's complex personality, as well as an analysis of his foreign policy, the effects of his personality on his policy, and the options available to him. I have never seen a better guide to Kissinger and his policies.

Extraordinary Biography,
This review is from: Kissinger: A Biography (Hardcover)
This book has sat on my shelf unread for years - I think because I'm somewhat leery of "contemporary" biographies. Just another error in judgment on my part - this is an excellent book. (A back cover review describes it as "riveting" and that's not far off - I found it difficult to put this book down.)
It's all here - the chronology - Kissinger's family's escape from Nazi tyranny, Kissinger's time in the armed services, Harvard, Rockefeller - with the bulk of the book, (understandably so), covering Kissinger's life and times in the Nixon administration - including the bizarre relationship that only these two men could have had. As for concerns about objectivity, the author addresses this in his introduction - how can a reader not come to this book without preconceived notions/opinions on such controversial/polarizing topics as Watergate, the Vietnam War, détente, etc. - I found the writing to be fair as well as extremely engaging. Concerning "gossipy" issues - the subject's thin skin, temper tantrums, zeal for secrecy, back-biting, etc. - and "real-politik" issues - China, the USSR, the Paris Peace Talks - All deftly covered in this book combining anecdotes, news reports, analysis, and behind the scenes sources. Kissinger's place in history is up for time to tell - this biography's place is secure. If you're debating about reading this book - don't - pick it up and start it - you won't be disappointed.

Engrossing, entertaining, disturbing,
By T. Graczewski "tgraczewski" (Burlingame, CA United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Kissinger (Paperback)
It's impossible to write a completely objective biography on a contempory and highly controversial figure - but Walter Isaacson has come decently close with "Kissinger."
This massive best-seller is a wild, often uproarious and always entertaining read. Isaacson traces Kissinger from his turbulent childhood in Nazi Germany, his formative years in the US Army during the Second World War and his storied tenure as a Harvard underclassman, graduate student and imperious young professor. He presents Kissinger as undeniably brilliant yet completely insecure, callous and driven by unbridled ambition. His ultimate success as an academic, a bureaucrat and a statesman were all attributable to an uncommon mix of exceptional talent, incredible hard-work and constant manipulation. Isaacson highlights Kissinger's academic focus on 19th century European diplomacy and attempts to show how the method and practice of Napoleonic era foreign secretaries such as Metternich directly influenced his behavior as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State. His attempts to centralize power and decision-making across all facets of foreign policy result in some of the most entertaining pieces of the biography: Kissinger's bizarre relationship with his boss, Richard Nixon. For instance, Isaacson tells how Kissinger always did his best to keep Nixon away from direct meetings with foreign leaders and diplomats, citing the president's "Walter Mitty tendencies" - as if the chief executive's desire to play an intimate role in his administration's foreign policy were ominous signs of delusions of grandeur. He also describes how the totalitarian leadership in the Soviet Union and North Vietnam were often befuddled by the incessant use of back-channel contacts and covert diplomatic horse-trading proposed by Kissinger and the Nixon White House. Finally, Isaacson's description of a maudlin Nixon begging Kissinger to kneel and pray with him in the White House on the eve of his resignation is simply unforgettable. In the end, the best description of Kissinger is the one Isaacson writes in the final pages of his biography: "...[Kissinger's] mixture of brilliance and abrasiveness, ego and insecurity, charm and furtiveness, humor and ambition had made him, for better and for worse, one of the premier stars of his era."

Henry Kissinger--A Fair Biography,
By Steven A. Peterson (Hershey, PA (Born in Kewanee, IL)) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kissinger: A Biography (Paperback)
Walter Isaacson, who has written esteemed biographies of Benjamin Franklin, The Wise Men, and Einstein, tackles the complex character of Henry Kissinger, academic, diplomat, and consultant. Kissinger is a difficult character to pin down, as Isaacson notes. He was devious, self-promoting, self-deprecating, intelligent, ambitious, and successful. The author interviewed over 150 people--including Kissinger himself--to gather information for this lengthy volume (767 pages of text).
At the outset, Isaacson says (page 9): "Three decades after he left office, Henry Kissinger continues to exert a fascinating hold on the public imagination as well as intellectual sway over the nation's foreign policy conversation." He was a well-known apostle of "Realpolitik," emphasizing doing what had to be done to advance the national interest, balancing power with power, concerned more with accomplishing things than getting caught up in ideology and morality. Again, a realist as opposed to an idealist. And this is the tension that is described throughout the course of this powerful volume (page 15): ". . .Kissinger had an instinctive feel. . .for power and for creating a new global balance that could help America cope with its withdrawal syndrome after Vietnam. But it was not matched by a similar feel for the strength to be derived from the openness of America's democratic system or for the moral values that are the true source of its global influence." The book begins with a brief early biography of Kissinger, including the misery he experienced after the Nazis came to power and the departure of his immediate family from Germany when they came to understand how inhospitable that country was becoming for Jews. The book also notes that many of his relatives died during World War II, part of the Holocaust. There follows the tale of his adolescence, his military service, his graduate study, and his promising academic career. But the major portion of this book focuses on his role as National Security Advisor and then Secretary of State under Richard Nixon's presidency and Secretary of State under Gerald Ford. There is a relatively brief discussion in several chapters of his life after Nixon-Ford, as consultant, commentator, intellectual-without-portfolio. After having worked with Nelson Rockefeller as an advisor, it is somewhat surprising that he ended up serving one of Rocky's antagonists, Richard Nixon. The book traces the odd relationship between Nixon and Kissinger. Sometimes hard-edged and combative, sometimes oddly supportive of one another. The secretive Nixon and Kissinger as lone cowboy accomplished a great deal in foreign policy; however, their penchant for secrecy also created problems of its own. Kissinger could be viewed is devious (for telling different people things in such a way as for each to think that Kissinger was on his/her side), but he also earned the trust of many leaders as he invented "shuttle diplomacy." Leaders might become exasperated with his style and his deviousness, but he was effective in a number of key instances. Examples worth exploring and reflecting upon in the book include the negotiations with North Vietnam to extricate the United States from a quagmire of its own making; the effort to end the Yom Kippur War in a manner that would stabilize the Middle East; the opening to China; détente with the Soviet Union. This is a biography that is worth investing time and energy into. It portrays Kissinger, warts and all, in a manner that illuminates this complicated individual. On some pages, one will think of railing against him; on other pages, one may well feel admiration for his strengths and accomplishments.

A Decent Biography,
This review is from: Kissinger: A Biography (Hardcover)
Walter Isaacson simply set out to chronicle and highlight to the life and times of Henry Kissinger. What resulted was one of the most comprehensive, insightful, and nonpartisan biographies of the field. Isaacson draws extensively from Kissinger's own memoirs, Years of Upheaval, White House Years, and Years of Renewal, as well as other works written by Kissinger. However, Isaacson also uses other secondary sources written by authors sympathetic and unsympathetic to the former Secretary of State. Yet Isaacson doesn't narrow his focus to any particular period of time in Kissinger's life or career. He details Kissinger's experiences as a university student at Harvard, as a professor there, then as a prominent government figure, then into a full blown public position as National Security Advisor and then Secretary of State. Isaacson does not shy away from controversial topics in or facets of Kissinger's life. He mentions Kissinger's standing as a jet-setter, courting the heads of state and traveling the world, solving, or working to solve, major world problems such as the Vietnam war, the Yom Kippur War, problems with the Soviet Union, and many more. Part of what makes Isaacson's biography a work of quality is his attention to the lesser known events in which Kissinger was a major player. It is up to the reader to judge whether or not Kissinger is biased, manipulative, or any of the other range of qualities, positive or negative, on which Isaacson sheds light. Isaacson, although judgmental at times, simply provides enough material or direction for any reader to make such a choice. It is more than likely that Kissinger is a polarizing figure of such magnitude that any author or biographer simply cannot resist the temptation to judge. Isaacson's work remains, in spite of any judging, a must-have resource for any reader set on inquiring into Kissinger's life and career. It is a very thorough introductory survey of Kissinger despite any shortcomings.

An Intensely Interesting Biography,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kissinger (Paperback)
I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a book so much. Every time I put it down, I found myself thinking of when I would have time to pick it up and continue reading it. Mr. Isaacson has really grasped his subject matter and written a balanced book. It does not seek to praise or castigate Kissinger. His goal seems to be to present him as objectively as possible, yet not without assessment.
The overarching question that came to me again and again as I read this book concerned integrity. I kept wondering how anyone could believe anything that comes out of Kissinger's mouth. To say he is disingenuous seems to be an understatement. Isaacson brings out the fact that Kissinger would flatter a person and then insult him or her behind their back. Quite often this would come back to haunt Kissinger. Isaacson does a masterful job in articulating the "realist" school of foreign policy and the "idealist" school. The realist view sees things in terms of balances of power, whereas the idealist school sees things in terms of promoting American values in foreign policy (like democracy, human rights, etc.). Kissinger, holding to the former school, had no feel for the latter whatsoever. This left his foreign policy open, and I believe rightly so, to criticism from human rights groups and from average Americans who felt we should put our best values forward in conducting foreign affairs. Isaacson makes the point that Kissinger waited five years until he started his international consulting business. He has literally made millions as a consultant. He was also on the boards of major corporations. While there is nothing unethical in serving in those capacities, he was, at the same time, a paid commentator on foreign affairs for major networks. Just as a judge is bound to excuse himself in a case where he has conflicting interests, it seems to me that Kissinger should have done the same when it came to offering his views about foreign policy concerns. I think it reprehensible that journalists rarely, if ever, brought up his possible conflict of interests. Evidently his flattery routine worked quite well on journalists also. Over the years, I have never read or heard any meaningful criticism of Communist China from Kissinger. Quite the contrary, he seems to be their greatest apologist! Is this because of his realist view of foreign policy? Is it because he has business interests in China? I guess we will never know. So I take what he says with a grain of salt. Which takes me back to the overarching question of how anyone can believe anything he says. Isaacson's book can't answer that question, but it makes the asking of it necessary.

This review is from: Kissinger: A Biography (Paperback)
This is the first book I have reviewed among over 100 books I've bought from Amazon and read. I feel compelled to review it because it enlighted so much of what I have seen on the job: back-biting, double-dealing, credit-grabbing, conspiracy, flattery...I only wish that I have read it before I entered the workforce, so that I could have spared myself much anguish! In addition, the book sheds light on important history about Vietnam, China, etc. Be warned though: this is not a book about a great hero; it might even make you angry. But it sure will enlighten.

Fair and balanced,
This review is from: Kissinger: A Biography (Paperback)
This is a well-written look at the career of one of America's most accomplished (though perenially controversial) diplomats. Mr. Isaacson studies his subject carefully, in numerous foreign policy crises around the globe. Moreover, he digs deeply into Dr. Kissinger's formative years to enable the reader to understand Kissinger's world-view, which is most decidedly non-American (consider Kissinger's deep admiration for such conservative European diplomats as Prince Klemens von Metternich and Otto von Bismarck). Mr. Isaacson is by no means a Kissinger partisan, but then again, he is not among the anti-Kissinger crowd either. What I found especially complex was Dr. Kissinger's relationship with President Nixon: the 2 men deeply distrusted each other, but they had a similar diplomatic vision, and were capable of coming up with bold initiatives.

Power is the ultimate Aphrodisiac,
By Dr. Wilson Trivino "Success- living the life ... (Atlanta, Georgia - USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kissinger: A Biography (Paperback)
Henry Kissinger was fond of saying "Power is the ultimate Aphrodisiac" and from humble begins he reached to the inner sanctum of power.
In Kissinger: A Biography by Walter Isaacson, the author takes a comprehensive look of the life of Kissinger. From leaving a Germany to avoid persecution as a Jew to his rise in the academic and political world, Kissinger was hungry for making a difference. You learn of his role in opening the East and his close working relationship with Richard Nixon. Kissinger was one of the few of the Nixon inner circle that was not tainted by the stigma of Watergate. This book also humanizes Kissinger to his highs and lows and his surprising reputation of being a lady's man. Isaacson's books do a good job of giving the reader a well rounded perspective of his subjects. A good read and interesting subject.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as others written by Walter isaacson. I don't think there was anything wrong with the research or the writing. I did gain a stronger understanding of history and also great insights into the mind of Henry Kissinger. The problem may be that continuous analysis of Henry Kissinger's character flaws grew tiresome in such a long book. My next book choice will be something more uplifting.

Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means, that you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you......
Some of my BEST FRIENDS are officers and my hat is always off to & for them,
a great bunch of guys,,,, as all as YOU STAY STRAIGHT.
Good, and well written, article. We've heard endless "blather" from the talking heads about the nutcase (I refuse to type his name and give him more credit) who did the shooting. I'd like to see and hear more about the heroes who stopped him!

A well deserved tribute to some folks who did a great job!
Something to think about the next time you are pulled over. The "JOB" requires many hats to be worn. Just keep in mind that the same guys are stuck having to wear several different styles. Traffic, domestic violence, one minute we hate them the next we are hoping they save someones life.
Typos are for the entertainment of the reader. Don't let it go to your head
Gasmitty, thanks for starting this thread. I'm a bit saddened that there haven't been more stories about them,
and that there hasn't been more response in this thread.
Going in to stop this situation doesn't sound like my idea of a nice day at the office.
And while we are tipping hats, let's remember that most of these folks have wives and kids, and their loved
ones are never certain their man (woman) will be home that night instead of in a hospital ICU or a morgue.
The families deserve our deep appreciation too.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

my hats off to these unsung people that do this everyday and nite. To all i say Thank You Very Much. these people dispise and hate, get called al kinds words(some i can not print). i hearthis everyday in federal/state prisions. in the investigator slot i hear this from both white and africian americans, most would used body fliud on you. one inmate told myself here recently he would to spit on all cops. said make him feel real good. love them one and all.
I only "hate" the bad apples in the barrel, though many take a few bad apples as coloring the entire barrel. I don't think that, and I don't think most folks do.
Though, your point is well taken. It's a very tough job and role they play. It's part psychologist and nanny, part enforcer, part first responder and friend indeed. The vast majority of them do the "thankless" portions with pride and dignity, and nearly all of them will run toward the "fire" and do whatever is necessary for the innocents there. My hat goes off for each of them.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.

Reason over Force: The Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
I feel for the ones trying to do right.It's something you want to do.It sure isn't for the money
There are a lot of exceptional people in all avenues of life. Kudos for all of them!
This article made me think of 9/11. Police and Firefighters running into buildings that everyone was streaming out of in order to save people.
If police uphold the constitution and the the laws of the politicians that seek to oppress us, then I will always call them a friend of the people.
You have until 6:00 to leave town.
Break your gun on a stump!

Editor's note: George Weigel, a distinguished senior fellow at Washington's Ethics and Public Policy Center, was the speaker on May 10 at the 201st commencement exercises of Mt. St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Md., America's second-oldest Catholic institution of higher learning. Like that of another institution much in the news recently, the campus of Mt. St. Mary's is dominated by a gold statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Reverend Fathers; distinguished members of the Board of Trustees; President Powell and distinguished members of the faculty; parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends of the graduates; all mothers present, on this Mother's Day; and last, but certainly not least, my fellow members of the Class of 2009 at Mt. St. Mary's University:
Thank you for honoring me with the invitation to address you today. Thank you, too, for honoring my work with the gift of an honorary degree. As President Powell mentioned, I received my undergraduate education in philosophy at the Liberal Arts College of St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore. So, if I may borrow from President Kennedy on Harvard and Yale, I now have an abundance of riches: a St. Mary's education and a Mt. St. Mary's degree. So I thank you.
This commencement ceremony has an even deeper sense of solemnity this year because there are two members of the Class of 2009 who are not physically present with us today: Nicole Spencer and Elizabeth DiNunzio. As we remember them, we commend them to the Risen Lord and his merciful Father, and we pray that the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, will pour out his love on their families and on all here who cherished them.
It has been one of the privileges of my life to have spent more than two and a half decades chronicling the achievements, and explicating the thought, of a great man: the Servant of God Pope John Paul II. He was, certainly, a great man. Part of his greatness lay in the fact that he had a very firm grip on his own fallibility. In September 1997, the Italian Bishops Conference hosted a national Eucharistic Congress in Bologna. John Paul II was helicoptered up there on a Sunday night to give the closing address. A staffer at the bishops conference had gotten the bright idea that Bob Dylan would be a good set-up act for the pope. So, perhaps a half-hour before the Holy Father appeared, Dylan came out on stage before hundreds of thousands of Italians, floppy hat, guitar, harmonica, and so forth, and did a few songs, ending with his signature composition, "Blowin' in the Wind." The Pope came out and, demonstrating his remarkable capacity to seize an opportunity, discarded his prepared text and immediately began talking about the Holy Spirit "blowin' in the wind" of the modern world, and about Jesus Christ as the one road that all of us must walk down, for "Christ, who said 'I am the way' . . . is the road of truth, the way of life." It was a remarkable performance. Three days later, I was at lunch in the papal apartment, and before I could even get seated after grace, John Paul II fixed me with that look across the table and said, "Who eeze Bob DEE-lahn?"
We are now a month shy of the 30th anniversary of another moment when John Paul II rose to an occasion — this time, in a way that changed the course of history. For next month marks the 30th anniversary of what I have come to call the "Nine Days of John Paul II": June 2 through June 10, 1979, the nine days of the late Pope's first pilgrimage to his Polish homeland, during which he ignited a revolution of conscience — a moral revolution — that played a crucial role in the collapse of Communist tyranny and in the liberation of the Slavic peoples of central and eastern Europe.
How did he do it? He did it in ways that should resonate with graduates of this university, which is itself the bearer of a distinguished history marked by the labors of saints and other great witnesses to the power of Catholic conviction.
John Paul II did it through Faith: faith in the power of the truth to cut through the Communist culture of the lie.
He did it through Discovery: By putting a life spent probing the truth about the dignity of the human person to work in liberating men and women from the shackles of hopelessness that bound them, he empowered his people to imagine a new, nobler, more human future for themselves, their children, and their country.
He did it through Leadership: the kind of priestly and episcopal leadership that for two millennia has taught the people of the Church that, as St. Paul put it to the Galatians, it is "for freedom that Christ has set [us] free" [Gal. 5:1].
And he did it through Community: for by re-planting the seeds of civil society in a Poland wracked by 40 years of totalitarian oppression, John Paul II laid the foundations for a new type of resistance community — a community of solidarity that proved stronger than tanks, truncheons, fire hoses, and the other weapons of Communist repression.
But, you may say, all of this was done by a great man — so what does that have to do with me? To which I would reply, all of this was done by a man who, when he was your age, never imagined that he would be pope, never imagined that he would become perhaps the pivotal figure of the second half of the 20th century, never imagined that the world would recognize his greatness and the Church his heroic virtue.
He was, in a word, much like you.
And that suggests to me that each of you, my fellow members of the Class of 2009, can also do great things with your lives.
Some of you will do great things as the world measures greatness. Some of you will do great things as the Church measures greatness, joining the ranks of the great figures who have walked here on Mary's mountain: St. Elizabeth Ann Seton; Bishop John Dubois; Archbishop John Hughes; Bishop James Edward Walsh of the Class of 1910, a living martyr for ten years in a Chinese Communist prison. Who knows, perhaps one of you will even top Jim Phelan's remarkable record as a basketball coach. But each of you can do great things in the one, essential way that Karol Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II, did great things. You can do the greatest thing of which human beings are capable: You can conform yourself to the will of God for your life.

After looking around, there seemed to be several threads close to this but none exactly on. Beersmith is telling me I need a 3L yeast starter for a 1.068 IPA I'm planning. Unfortunately I only have one 1000ml flask to make a starter in. So my question is this: Is it better to do the 600ml starter I can fit and call it quits, or do four different starters and add them as subsequently over the first four or five days of fermentation? Not only that, but on occasion I do two brews at once, so could I pitch a starter for one beer, just the packet for the second, and then do a starter the next day as well? Thanks
Do a stepped culture - grow a 750ml-ish starter, let the yeast settle, pour off the old wort and replace with new & grow. It may take a couple of steps, but you'll get the amount you need. For multiple beers you'll have to split the final amount of yeast across the two beers.http://www.yeastcalc.com/ has a great calculator to help with these starters. Bryan
How long do I need to let each step go? Is 24 hours enough?
24 hours is good for a step. Do you have any mason jars? If you do, you could do a step, chill, decant most of the liquid (when the yeast has settled), pour the majority in the jar to store (cold, of course), and do another step with the remainder. Keep doing that until you have the amount that you need. The problem with just repeated a 600ml starter over and over on top of the growing yeast colony, is you will have diminishing returns on growth, and eventually really just won't grow the colony at all. It's also not a good idea to do multiple pitches through the course of a week, this is the most crucial period, and the yeast undergo different stages during this period. Introduce new 'baby' yeast, and you have several generations doing different things at different times.
you may want to upgrade to a 2l or even a bigger flask. 1l is too small for most starter applications. Is this for a 5 gal batch? I don't think that you need a 3 L starter for that beer unless it is a 10 gal batch. Kai
Kiasers 2L advice is a good one - a 2L flask will make your life a lot easier. As for how long you need grow for, the answer is "it depends" - largely on temperature. I do my starters in the basement, where in the winter temps rarely get above 15C (~60F). At those temps, it takes me 36-48 hours to get to stationary phase (the point where the yeast stop growing and will settle well). In the summer the temps are closer to 20-22C (room temp), and this halves the doubling time. I manage my guilds yeast bank, at work where I can control temps exactly (I'm a scientist, so I have all the fancy stuff). At ideal temps - 28-32C, depending on the strain - as little as 12 hours is often enough. I'm in the process of building a simple incubator chamber at-home to try and achieve the same thing. Bryan
A quick search shows nobody mentioning stirplates in the responses. You get a bigger bang for your OG starter with a stirplate, to answer the OP, alongside Kaiser's volume recommendation.
Also, check that you have the correct date from your yeast on beersmith, if the month or year is way off it will calculate very low viability and tell you to make a massive starter. And a homemade stir plate will like double your growth too, very inexpensive, easy and worth it.
I have had great success using a stir plate and doing 2000 ml starters and I normally don't have to double up. I just let it do its thing then chill and decant some of it before I pour it in. 3L does seem kind of high for a batch at 1.068 though? A good place to get a pretty well priced stir plate is stir starters.com which is where I got mine for 45$ instead of having to buy an expensive scientific one.
2 things.... Carlos Rossi makes 4 liter wine jugs that are flat on the bottom. They make nice flasks for cheap. 2, brewers friend has a calculator that is using accurate data from braukaiser. I suggest that one for yeast cell count. Be careful not to grossly over pitch though that can lead to off flavors as well. +100 on the stirplate, it delivers everything yeast want and creates healthy, viable cell colonies

Albuquerque police have found a stolen truck belonging to a 57-year-old man who was severely beaten Monday during an apparent robbery at a small West Central electronics business.
Police are looking for evidence in the truck taken in the robbery, which was reported about 8:50 p.m. at Ferny's Electronics, 115 Yucca NW.
The victim has been identified as Fernando Romero, said APD spokeswoman Tasia Martinez. Police had not identified any suspects, and the investigation was continuing, she said.
Online See video of the man who drove the stolen truck, which was found Tuesday morning by police |
Romero was found by an in-law, badly injured from an apparent beating. The in-law went to the electronics store to look for Romero after he had not returned from work at the usual time, Martinez said.
"Medical professionals have advised that the victim is expected to survive, but may have sustained permanent physical damage from the incident," Martinez said in a news release.
She added that Romero's family was with him Tuesday as he was being treated at University of New Mexico Hospital.
No one on Tuesday afternoon answered the door of the business, which is located just north of Central about a block east of the new city fire department station on 57th NW.
Police told a neighbor a robbery and severe beating had occurred. The neighbor said Romero seemed to keep to himself, but she added that he seemed nice and always said hello to her in the morning when he took out his garbage.
APD released video related to the stolen truck, which was found in the parking lot of Pro's Ranch Market at 4201 West Central. Store video shows a man park the truck at 5:20 p.m. Monday, get out and go into the store, and then immediately exit and walk toward Central. Police said the man has a mustache and is wearing a white cap with lettering on the front. Police ask that anyone with information on the case call Crime Stoppers at 843-STOP.

Border Collie Dogs can make good pets in Nevada if they match your IifestyIe. Border Collies are extremely intelligent, faithful dogs who live to please their masters. Border Collies need lots of attention and praise. They respond to high level obedience training and make excellent Frisbee dogs and farm workers. Border Collies do well in large yards or with acreage and they need a job to do. If a Border Collie becomes bored, he will find his own job to do and it may not be the owner's idea of work. Border Collies do well with older children and other dogs, and some Border Collies can coexist with cats. However, it depends on the dog, and generally Border Collies should not be trusted with non-canine pets.

Improving the urban and economic heart of this region through revitalization of downtown Charlottesville neighborhoods with mixed-income and mixed-use redevelopment is the best near-term opportunity the city has to create jobs, reduce poverty and attract more development downtown.
After two years and scores of community meetings and discussions, the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority approved its master plan for redevelopment of seven public housing sites in the city in August 2010. The plan calls for slightly more density on CRHA's 40 acres scattered around town. By adding market-rate housing into redeveloped neighborhoods, CRHA can create new revenue without losing any of the existing 376 public housing units. Public housing would be integrated into the neighborhood rather than a stand-alone development.
Examples of cities with successful mixed-income redevelopment include Seattle, Wash. and Charlotte, N.C. Some CRHA residents and board members toured mixed-income redevelopments in Long Branch, N.J., and Greenville, S.C., and returned inspired and impressed.
These 40 acres owned by CRHA and the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (not the city) are a critical resource to help achieve many of Charlottesville's stated goals related to poverty, race relations and economic and educational opportunity. Redeveloping with energy-efficient, mixed-income and mixed-use buildings will improve the lives of low-income residents, reduce utility and maintenance costs for everyone, and attract more business downtown. New construction and businesses can provide employment for more low-income Charlottesvillians, helping to move people up and out of public housing and make room for the more than 1,000 people on the waiting list. If done correctly, redevelopment will also deconcentrate poverty in the city. To paraphrase JFK: The best solution to poverty is a job.
So why is this not happening?
In a word, the problem is leadership. Charlottesville's City Council controls who sits on the Housing Authority Board and for too long Charlottesville's Housing Authority has been described as the "executive director graveyard" due to high turnover and lack of support from city leaders.
During the 1980s and most of the '90s, City Council appointed itself as the Housing Authority Board. However, roughly 14 years ago, Charlottesville City Council reverted the governance structure of the CRHA Board to an appointed citizen board including two resident commissioners. Since then, the agency has burned through five executive directors and only narrowly escaped repossession by HUD. Prior to that, there were only three executive directors over a 45-year span.
The current executive director, Connie Dunn, a seasoned expert in property management, was criticized publicly by resident commissioner Joy Johnson even before she sat down for her first day of work in April of this year. Imagine being hired by a Board of Directors and even before you start, a board member is attacking you publicly. The previous two executive directors did not renew their contracts partially because of this kind of unproductive behavior. Ad hominem, divisive attacks only serve to undermine the cause of public housing and redevelopment.
In fact, the more that professional standards and ethics are improved at the housing authority, the more protest we hear from people who have benefitted from lax policy enforcement.
At the last board meeting on Nov. 26, current CRHA Chairman Dave Norris went so far as to say there should be an indefinite moratorium on evictions. As of this writing, 88 residents are behind on rent and seven are slated for evictions for various reasons. An eviction is not something anyone wants to go through. CRHA's mission is to provide affordable housing and to help people improve their family's self-sufficiency, specifically to avoid eviction. But it is completely unfair to the remaining 288 families who do pay their rent on time and to the more than 1,000 people on the waiting list to suggest that those who do not pay should be allowed to stay. Fortunately, the board voted against Norris' proposal.
On recent repeat visits by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, regional staff pointed out numerous policies, such as the $25 minimum rent, that are out of date and should be reviewed. It is important to note that residents of public housing are required to pay 30 percent of their income for rent; the minimum rent policy kicks in only when a resident is certified as having no income. President Obama's 2013 budget proposes $75 per month as minimum rent. Fifty dollars per month is current HUD policy. HUD is set to deliver its review to Executive Director Dunn, the CRHA Board and City Council in the coming weeks.
The Obama administration and Congress have made it a priority to increase revenue from public housing sites and have strongly encouraged redevelopment to improve energy efficiency and eliminate a back log of capital improvements. Capital budgets and overall operating funds, like many government programs, will be cut over the coming years.
Most of the public housing sites, such as Westhaven and South First Street, are old and inefficient, and — with the exception of Crescent Hall, the eight-story building adjacent to the Ix property — all need to be torn down and rebuilt as mixed-income communities. Since unanimous approval of the master plan over two years ago, little has happened to advance this major undertaking. Doing so will improve city neighborhoods, help remove the stigma of "the projects" and create highly energy-efficient, lower maintenance and more comfortable homes for families in public housing.
Fortunately, there are solutions to these problems:
» First — and I say this with reticence, as I know from personal experience it is a tough job — City Council should take charge of this situation and replace the current board with council itself. There is historic precedent for such a move, and it would allow elected officials, not appointed favorites, to manage the housing authority. The authority is not currently, and would not become, a city department, and no city funds would be allocated via the General Fund. Only special appropriations and federal funds are used for CHRA activities. The bulk of the more than $6 million budget comes from HUD.
» Absent the first, when Chairman Norris' term is up at the end of this year, City Council should replace him as council representative to the CRHA Board.
» Council should proceed with dusting off its non-profit redevelopment arm known as the Charlottesville Development Corporation and place skilled professionals on the board. Stacking the CDC board with well-meaning advocates will not achieve the goals of redevelopment. By focusing on redevelopment, City Council can attract outside investors and businesses, and spur much needed employment downtown.
» Council should be commended for past appropriations and grants to CRHA for the master plan, purchasing the Avon Street property and more. Moving forward, council needs to think big and consider directing at least 50 percent of the current budget surplus and 75 percent of the housing fund for the next five years toward redevelopment to attract grants and private equity. This is an investment that will pay off in many areas and may even address the achievement gap in the city schools. There was general consensus that redevelopment should begin with Crescent Halls renovations, proceed to new construction on the Levy Ave property (actually on Garrett Street) and then move to Phase 1 at Westhaven.
The increase in tax revenue from redevelopment should more than offset funds directed away from other, equally pressing needs.
» Finally, advocates such as Public Housing Association of Residents need to get behind redevelopment and be sure CRHA, CDC and council adhere to the "Residents' Bill of Rights." The Bill of Rights is a CRHA and Council-approved commitment to a right-of-return for residents and no net loss of public housing, among other things. PHAR should embrace a vision for what public housing will be and organize to achieve that vision. The current parade of yelling and cursing and personal attacks is certainly not yielding any progress. Many public housing residents put a lot of time and energy into crafting the master plan that should not be wasted because of poor leadership.
Now is the time for council to take the lead in setting a direction for redevelopment of public housing and for the housing authority. With clear leadership and stronger governance, we can unite behind a proactive plan to improve the lives of hundreds of low-income people in public housing, roughly half of whom are children. This is our best hope for better neighborhoods, economic development, a stronger tax base, and a brighter future for the whole city.
Jason Halbert is the former chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority, on which he served from 2005-2011.

2010 Land Rover Range Rover Problems
A pulsation may be noted upon brake application. This condition is commonly caused by warped brake rotors. Our technicians recommend inspecting both front and rear brake rotors when this condition occurs. Brake pads should be replaced along with any warped rotors to correct this condition.
Black smoke from the exhaust, poor acceleration, and/or a rough engine idle may be a result of corrosion affecting the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve operation. Replacement of the faulty EGR valve would be required to correct this issue.
The parking brake may develop a screeching noise or fail to release. Our technicians tell us the is commonly caused by the parking brake cable being out of adjustment or failure of the parking break actuator. Cable adjustment and/or actuator replacement would be necessary to correct this concern.
2010 Land Rover Range Rover Recalls

The technicians and physicians at Simplicity Laser Hair Removal work to evict wily follicle lodgers of all colors with advanced hair-razing equipment that combines FDA-approved diode, Nd:Yag, and alexandrite lasers. Customers can gently pulverize strands in one body area with six or eight treatments of concentrated pulsed photons, which coax squatting body threads out of their skin shelters with laser wavelengths and candy. Alternatively, opt for a full year of treatments to tackle multiple areas across unlimited visits. Simplicity Laser Hair Removal's triad of modern laser technologies promises safe and effective treatment during each session of 30 minutes or less. Although these treatments can be effective in permanently reducing unwanted fuzz, most patients require 8–12 sessions for full reduction due to hair-growth dormancy, laser-absorption rates, and hard-to-locate follicle foxholes.

On the road or in the shop, the Diamond Glass team backs its services with warranties and helps to keep cars healthy with additional services such as safety and emissions tests.
SkinScience Institute is a site of instruction, but that doesn't mean its services aren't professional quality. The aesthetics students who perform them make use of popular Murad and Image skincare products, and they're overseen by highly trained skin experts. Many of the treatments are clinical in nature, including anti-aging peels and microdermabrasion sessions. Other services emphasize natural skincare methods, such as the clay and seaweed wraps that purge clients' pores of toxins and clients' heads of "The Song That Never Ends."

Darksiders II: Death Strikes, Part 2 - CG Trailer
Check out how the Horseman Death handles his business in this CG trailer for Darksiders II.
the Wrath form of Death looks more badass that War s form,cause War was just some kind of flaming demon,Death s form it s more like that Grim Reaper and so detail,it looks awesome
Dafuq Did I JUst See a Fucking carnage game Like GOD WAR on Xbox360 sure seems to be the match for PS# asses. GOD OF WAR PS3 HERE WE COME!!!!!
Really liking the transformation idea! Looks like such a badass!
Wondering why they chose 'Death' of the remaining 3 to be the first sequel. Surely he would be last? Or maybe THQ are trying to hype up the idea of a tetralogy (maybe more?). :D
Loved the first darksiders...but never finished it...i guess ill buy this one when it goes down in price...and just play the first one before i get to this one...
Wait, I thought that in the first Darksiders the Horsemen were supposed to be the last members of a race that warred itself into near extinction, with the 4 horsemen being the only survivors. Since Death doesn't have a mouth, and War clearly DID, does that mean that they're different species? (The only other explanation could be that one of them is supposed to be female... but Death is bare cheasted and War is... well.... WAR)
WTF to that :O ... did you see he shape shifted ? became like grim riper . WOW !! , that was truly awesome .
theres no way part 2 transends part 1 by that much. this trailer is mocking our intelligence. TO HOGWARTS!
cant wait for this game to come out loved the first one and for what ive heard they made some nice improvements from the first one
Maybe, it's not bad game, but there are some similar games that are far better. Just sayin' my view of the game.
Purple the color of dead yeah sure ...no thanks i will wait for the black death color mod
so death transforms into the reaper lol. cool i cant wait for this game. played and loved the first game and i cant wait for this. already paid in full and its going to be one of the best single player games this year
*Sigh*, wish I could play this sooner rather than later. Waiting for something so awesome is such a hard thing to do. Waiting even longer is harder still, though I can accept a push back of the release date if it's to produce a truly polished final product. If we're lucky, in a few years time we may be eagerly awaiting the release of the fourth instalment...
so mad that they pushed it back. I really wanted to play this during the summer before school started. Oh well at least their tweek the game to make it better i dont care. And for the people who dont know the name of four horsemen in the game its War, Death, Fury, Strif. and if you dont know from the first game then thats sad lol. so i agree with Outer_Raven's information.
in the first game i have founded a scythe, there i see death image. the strange is when i found the scythe, death looks like skull.
Ya, except for the fact that God of War is a PS3 exclusive and this game is on all platforms.
@Smokevin i don't think the other two are gonna get a sequel. i mean what can pestilence do? cough on them? and what will famine do? take its enemy's lunch?
@Ste_197 death is supposed to have a pale/green horse. and pestilence is supposed to have a white one
darksiders 1 sucked why? just my opinion it only had one useful combo. hopefully this one is better
@ghost688 o cmon dude please, you need to learn how to properly write a sentence.
Btw the game looks awesome , loved the first one , hope they make a 3rd and 4th installment with "Famine" and "Pestilence" .
@suplax how would that work though? i mean what will they do? cough on their enemies and take their lunch?
@Outer_Raven Cool ! I didn't know they were based of a comic. I thought the games were about the four horsemen from the bible.
I'll check out for the comic , thanks for the heads up.
Darksiders is based of a comic with the same name. There are four horsemen: War, Death, Strife and Fury. Even in the first game, the four legendary enhancements are War's Glory, Death's Blessing, Strife's Offering and Fury's Embrace.
If you still don't believe me, google darksiders wikia.
@Cell_kl It's conquest war famine and death. If they make the 4 games, conquest should be the last (I would have saved death for last, but we can see that's not gonna happen ;))
@Outer_Raven but famine and pestilence r horsemen, ive never heard of strife and fury, cuz wouldnt fury be the same as war?
