Okoroha's double-double leads Gold Rush past Dillard January 24, 2009 Box score NEW ORLEANS — Kelechi Okoroha had a season-high 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds Saturday to lead Xavier University of Louisiana to a 60-55 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference men's basketball victory over Dillard in the Allstate Sugar Bowl Crosstown Classic at New Orleans Arena. Attendance was 4,321 for the doubleheader, which matched the men's and women's teams of the two longtime HBCU, conference and city rivals. Okoroha's 3-point play with 4:42 remaining put Xavier (12-6 overall, 4-2 GCAC) ahead to stay at 51-48. But the outcome remained in doubt until Devin Andrew rebounded Cornice Wingate's missed 3-pointer with 14 seconds remaining and the Gold Rush leading 58-55. Andrew was fouled after the rebound and made 1-of-2 free throws, then Okoroha added one more free throw with two seconds remaining. Michael Harvey scored 11 of his career-high 15 points for Xavier in the first half, and Andrew scored 10. Wingate made five 3-pointers and scored 22 points for Dillard (6-10, 3-3), and Autrail Manning scored 10. The Blue Devils' leading scorer for the season, David Manning, had seven points, all from the line, before fouling out with 5:58 remaining. Xavier has won seven straight and 10 of the past 11 against Dillard and leads the series, which began in 1948, 70-46. The victory was Xavier's 21st in a row against New Orleans opponents in the GCAC. That streak started in the 2004-05 season.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC). Xavier fields men's and women's teams in basketball, cross country and tennis.

Guests of Namale Resort & Spa can now enjoy our Veidelana (Fijian for Mountain View) Golf Course. We are so exited to make this activity available to our guests as yet another part of our all-inclusive Fiji vacation package.
This nine-hole course had a rocky start as it was maintained by a grounds team who had never even seen a golf course before. On arrival at Namale in June 2009, Ron Gratzinger, Co-General Manager of Namale, put his passion for golf into action and educated and trained the golf course grounds team to maintain the course in tip-top condition. Granted, Augusta doesn't have to worry that we'll lure The Masters away from them, but it has developed into a beautiful little course.
Since June, our nine-hole course has evolved now offering 18 separate tee boxes to give the player an 18-hole experience fully utilizing our nine holes. All are three and four par holes with a total par of 64. We've added seven sand bunkers scattered throughout offering distinctly individual challenges depending on whether your approach is from the first nine or the back nine. This is a course you want to play short and straight, because the rough in the tropics can be really rough. It's even a good idea to toss a few extra golf balls in your bag before coming so you'll have a few extra to toss in your golf bag before playing. If you can play a round without losing a ball, you've really accomplished something!
However, losing a ball gives the less serious competitor the time and opportunity to really take in the scenery. The lily pond with its bright pink, purple and white flowers is quite lovely and often populated with ducks. You will likely spot the two large blue heron that live on the golf course, as well. A couple of the holes take you across a lively spring that runs through the lush foliage of the course and the wider expanses are dotted with towering palm trees. It is a unique and heady golfing experience.
A comical thing has happened since the early education of our golf course grounds team. When it is their break time, you'll likely see them flipping through one of Ron's golf magazines studying how golf courses around the globe are maintained, while Ron is on one of the mowers making sure everything is manicured to spec. Well, as much as this tropical climate – where everything grows like mad – will allow, anyway.
While Namale Resort & Spa is not a golf destination, what fun it is to knock a few balls around in such a unique setting! We'll be waiting for you at the 19th hole for cocktails at the Main Bure!

Albert Einstein on the Tragedy of Theodor Herzl's Son: "A Warning to All Jews Against Defection From Their People."
- 1
Herzl, who gave birth to a nation, also had three children of his own. Their lives, however, were far from fulfilled, or happy, or glorious. One daughter was a homeless drug addict; another struggled with depression; and his son, the subject of this letter, was a convert to Christianity. Worse was to come: in 1930, the daughter addicted to morphine, died of an overdose; her brother, distraught at her death, killed himself a day later; only their sister remained, until 1943, when she was transported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, there to be killed by the Nazis. Here Einstein writes to son Hans Herzl's friend and biographer, Marcel Sternberger:
Your recent series of articles about Hans Herzl have moved me greatly. His wasted life constitutes a warning to all Jews against defection from their people. For this reason I consider your book a praiseworthy effort in the interest of the Jewish community. You have my permission to make use of the above comment in any way in which it can gain attention for your book.
The book which Einstein mentioned was written, but many, many years later by Sternberger's wife, Ilse. Princes Without a Home: Modern Zionism and the Strange Fate of Theodor Herzl's Children, 1900-45 did, however, carry a blurb from Einstein.
Typed Letter Signed ("A. Einstein"), in German, 1 page, quarto, Caputh bei Potsdam, September 8, 1932. To Marcel Sternberger in Berlin.

Victory: India Ends All Animal Testing For Cosmetics Following PETA India Campaign
For Immediate Release:
28 June 2013
Poorva Joshipura +91 9619502074; firstname.lastname@example.com
Ben Williamson +44 (0) 20 7837 6327, ext 229; email@example.com
London – After an extensive PETA India campaign – which included appeals from high-profile politicians and multi-national retailers such as LUSH and The Body Shop as well as lengthy discussions with PETA India's scientists – the Drug Controller General of India announced today that testing cosmetics and their ingredients on animals will not be permitted in India. This decision comes on the heels of recently enacted bans on cosmetics testing on animals in the European Union and Israel.
"The end to cruel and unreliable cosmetics tests on animals in India is a victory for animals and science – and the ban's compliance with international standards will improve trade avenues for our country", says PETA India's science policy adviser, Dr Chaitanya Koduri, who has a seat on India's Cosmetics Sectional Committee and met privately with the country's Drug Controller General earlier this week to discuss the ban. "PETA India looks forward to working with the government on the next step: a ban on testing household cleaners and similar products in India."
During cosmetics tests, harsh chemicals are dripped into rabbits' eyes, smeared onto animals' abraded skin or forced down their throats. More than 1,200 companies around the world – including LUSH and The Body Shop as well as Urban Decay, Paul Mitchell and Tom's of Maine – have joined PETA US' list of companies that use only modern and reliable non-animal tests for their products.

MEDFORD, Ore. — A grant for half a million dollars has been approved by the state and is ready to be used to hire physical education teachers in Medford. That grant money would only cover salary costs of the 10 teachers and not the cost of benefits. The district would have to cover those costs plus the addition of two extra P.E. teachers; a price tag of more than $300,000.
Of the 47 elementary schools in the state whose grant requests were approved, 10 of them were in Medford. The remaining 4 of the district's 14 elementary schools did not meet the qualification of 40% or more students on a free or reduced lunch. None of the elementary schools in the district currently have physical education teachers. Parents said they were in favor of the addition of P.E. teachers despite the costs and said the benefits range from learning healthy habits to being more focused in class.
"I think that it, helps the children to concentrate and to focus on what they need to focus on because they're not getting up out of their chairs, they're not chattering, I think it's something to help them focus on their school work," said Howard Elementary School parent Lynda Hill.
Superintendent Phil Long said enrollment at schools in the district is significantly up and as a result, more money will be headed to the school district. Long said this money will be a big help in covering the costs of the benefits and the added teachers.

I hope you are blessed with great friendships. I happen to be the luckiest girl in the world when it comes to friends. Some are friends that I just met and some are friends I've had for many, many years. I love them all so much sometimes I could just pop! As women we need friends. We need to talk and we need to laugh and we need to cry. Friends are truly the best therapy. Friendship is a gift that can last a lifetime. Sharing your life with people you care about and that care about you is one of the secrets to a great life. Friendships, as in all relationships, takes nuturing and care. They have to be watered and fed and loved to flourish and grow. One of the secrets to keeping friendships alive is to get together, to share and laugh and catch up with each other. Always remember that the phone works both ways. If I could have a dollar for every time I've heard someone say, "We're not friends anymore, she never called me, or we just lost touch". Do you know how dumb that is? You are willing to give up a relationship because you were the one that picked up the phone? Who cares who called who or who didn't call, just get your priorities straight.
My friendships range from new found, to church, to my Mom's in Touch groups, to family and to my oldie but goodie group from elementary school which leads me to my post. I met Julie and Deanne in the first grade at Apperson Street Elementary School. We did Blue Birds and Camp Fire Girls together and went to the same junior and senior high schools. We have kept our friendships going all of these years and have shared lots of laughter, heartaches, babies, weddings, secrets, marriages, reunions and everything in between. When you've been friends this long, you start to feel more like sisters. There are periods of time that we don't talk because, like all of us, we get busy, but watch out when we do get together because it feels like time has stood still and we just pick right back up. So much to my excitement one day on Facebook I have a message from Deanne asking if a group of us from high school wanted to come to her house for the day. She invited those that wanted to, to bring their sleeping bags and she would provide food. Well I was all over that and a group of us packed up my Suburban and off we went.
Deanne opened up her gorgeous mountain home and fed all of us. Something about that mountain air just makes a girl hungry. Good friends, delicious food, good wine, fun games that make everyone laugh so hard we are literally crying makes for a great weekend. And this leads me to Lovin' on People, you see that's what Deanne did. She just sent out the invite, she made a great dinner and had people bring sleeping bags. We were all thrilled to be invited and those of us that were able to, made the drive, and she loved on us, with her home and her food. She made it simple, she let people help. We all brought appetizers and drinks and Julie made us amazing cheese bread for dinner and Terri brought this super great coffee cake for breakfast.
So I'm encouraging you today to remember how important friendships are and to take the time, this very day, to make a call. Invite someone over, make some food, ask someone to bring something. We all need each other in our lives and sometimes it takes a little effort to keep the friendships alive, but let me tell you, it is so very worth it to share my life with my 1st grade friends. If no one ever made the phone call, this weekend wouldn't have happened and the new memories wouldn't have happened. Continue to make memories and love on people, after all this is what life is all about.

This was the flavor of some of the folks who, with the blessing of Turkey's Prime Minister Erdogan, set sail for Gaza aboard the "peace activist" flotilla flagship, the Mavi Marmara. Israel offered to offload the "humanitarian supplies" and deliver them overland. That offer was refused. When Israeli commandos tried to peacefully board the ship (as they did successfully with the rest of the flotilla), dozens of "peace activists" — wielding knives and metal rods — mobbed and attacked them, beating and stabbing. The Israelis fought back in self-defense. That was how those nine Turks died.
You know the rest of this script. Turkey's Prime Minister Erdogan denounced Israel and demanded punishment for Israel. The United Nations — ever ready to assist in such endeavors — convened an inquiry, which produced a report flagrantly biased against Israel (don't take my word for it — the Obama administration protested to the UN Human Rights Council that "we are concerned by the report's unbalanced language, tone and conclusions"). Threats of further slanted inquiry and international legal action against Israel have continued. This has become an industry. For Israel to pay the families of its attackers is not a way to buy better ties with Turkey. It's a way to invite more attacks. But the larger question by now is not how Israel should handle this. What's most disturbing is that the free world stands by and accepts it as business as usual that Turkey's Erdogan — having wished godspeed to a terror-linked group embarked for terror-controlled Gaza — demands apologies from the real victims.

Agree. Any Israeli government that offers anything that smacks of apology or compensation deserves to be brought down. This is more than a manner of honor, it would be government sanctioned injustice, and a slap at IDF personnel putting their lives on the line to defend their country.
The Mavi Marmara wasn't even an "aid ship" as it contained some 500 "activists" and no aid to speak of. Among those activists were martyrdom-seeking militants who, from the captain's own testimony, virtually commandeered the ship, and organized teams to repel IDF borders with knives and metal poles sliced from the ship's railings. When IDF naval personnel ordered them to turn away from Gaza, the response from one ship was "Go back to Auschwitz".
An apology suggests Israel and the IDF did something wrong; they did not. Israel's blockade was entirely legal under international law as Gaza remains in a state of active war against Israel, and it was conducted legally. Compensation to the families of those militants killed would be nothing less than a reward for terrorism.
Israel has put itself into the position where they appear to desire reconciliation with Turkey more than Turkey does with Israel. But Turkey has already made its sentiments clear with its "shift" away from the West and its growing alignment with Syria, Iran and Hamas. Israel is only debasing itself by negotiating over the terms of its humiliation. Israel should instead make clear it owes Turkey nothing, that if Turkey wants reconciliation, the door is open. Otherwise, there are many other countries it can work with. (It's already growing closer with Greece.)

Raymond, while many of my fellow Zionists are courageous and stand up people, the leftist crew leading Israel(except for a paltry few nationalists who do not wield the final power)are delusional fantasists.
Even though Likud is considered a center-right party, in reality it is not.
The power levers in Israel are run by leftist media and corporate tycoons, and are desperate to hand over our Jewish heartland, thus stripping Israel of its Jewish essence.
Therefore,they think NOTHING of diminishing the self respect, the honor of the Jewish citizens and their soldiers.In fact, the fact that our Defense ! Minister sent navy commandos aboard a boat with terrorists-yes, the intelligence officers warned of the terrorists on board-and armed ! them with paintballs, instead of high powered rifles, bespeaks of his mendacity and desire NOT to attain victory.
IF not for the fact that others came on board with their sidearms, our Shayetet Naval commandos would have been slaughtered.
To wit,most of Israel's leaders are NOT fit to be dog catchers.

Well Adina, while I don't entirely agree with your characterization of Israeli leaders not even being fit for catching canines, I must remind you that you only get to choose from what's on the shelf, and this is true of Israeli politicians and military leaders as well.
The only sort of people willing to immerse themselves in the fetid swamp that we call the Knesset are people who are already inclined to swim in filth. The decent, faithful, and influential Jewish Zionists who could provide positive and determined Jewish and Zionist leadership already know how they would be hacked to pieces by the ultra Leftist and largely anti Israel Israeli media. Worse they also know that their entire life would be investigated and reported on, and if nothing bad was found, then the Left wing media would just make things up.
In a very real way, Israel is lucky in that we still have a few Jewish leaders who are by no means perfect, but do their best to represent Jewish and Zionist values and that they outnumber the Leftist Jewish leaders like Ehud Barak and Tzipi Livni who are perfectly happy sitting in the pro Palestinian camp.December 14, 2010 - 3:06 am Link to this Comment | Reply-
Adina Kutnicki, Israel
Ken, I stand corrected.
Dr Arieh Eldad, Danny Danon, Dr Ben-Ari, Ayoub Kara are the only ones who even remotely resemble true Zionists.
In fact, Kara is a Druse and I would rather have a dozen like him in place of Barak, Livni, the rest of the Labor/Kadima/Meretz crew, and of course, the Arab MK inciters.
A paltry/pitiful few worthy of leading.December 14, 2010 - 10:59 am Link to this Comment | Reply

These are the unmistakeable values, priorities, actions and intentions of Israel on display as always, even when its not in their best short term interests. They, as always, hold the high ground againt the barbarians, and show themselves superior with a complete lack of rancor or hysterical grievence over the incident.
For better or worse, as my father taught me.
"treat EVERYONE like a gentleman, not because THEY are, but because YOU are"
Israel can "afford" this seemingly self defeating concilliatory behavior, because they are, quite simply, "better" than the savages who attempt to destroy her.

What utter nonsense. The only things that matter are how such a move would be interpreted by Turkey and the rest of the Islamic world, who would see it Israel's submission to dhimmi status, and the UN, who would see it as a concession of guilt and then seek to try and imprison the commandos and commanders involved.
Grow up.
December 14, 2010 - 10:55 am Link to this Comment | Reply
It doesn't make any sense for Israel to pay the families of the attackers; the ship was clearly stating that it intended to violate Israel's refusal to allow direct offloading at a Gaza Port. And, by international law, Israel was absolutely within its legal rights to do this.
Israel had offered to unload the cargo at an Israeli port and then, by land, ship the acceptable goods, i.e, the stated 'humanitarian aid' to Gaza. But, the Turkish ship refused this offer.
No compensation should be offered or paid. Why is Israel doing this? Since when is compensation paid in acts of war? Has Hamas/Iran etc, offered to pay for lives lost, wounded, and damages, from their Gaza-based rockets into Israel?

"The Israelis fought back in self-defense. That was how those nine Turks died."
Umm, I think the issue is not so much what happened once Israeli commandos entered a turkish ship in international waters as why they did so in the first place. Also, the forensic reports and the subsequent treatment of prisoners tell a different tale from this piece of propaganda…
December 13, 2010 - 11:22 am Link to this Comment | Reply-
Umm, yourself. How about dealing with facts.
The facts are that the ships were openly declaring that they intended to break the Israeli-imposed sea blockade of Gaza. Therefore Israel had every legal right to, in international waters, stop them. Clear? If the offending ships, still in international waters, had openly declared their intent of breaking a sea blockade, then international law permits Israel to attempt to stop this breakage.
The facts are that Israel had warned the ships, several times, not to break the blockade but instead head to an Israeli port, where their 'humanitarian aid' would be unloaded, inspected and taken by land to Gaza. The ships refused. Indeed, Egypt had also offered the same solution – dock at an Egyptian port and unload and ship the goods by land. Refused. Hmmm.
And the forensic reports show quite clearly that the boarding Israeli military were attacked by the so-called 'civilians'. Try again.
December 13, 2010 - 12:40 pm Link to this Comment | Reply-
Umm, the forensic reports show that several of the killed were shot at point blank range to the head. Several of the wounded describe that the Israelis opened supressive fire before boarding as well. As for the international waters-issue, perhaps through some legalese loophole Israel could claim legal rights. But the issue is why they chose to do so instead of the other options they had, such as disabling propellers, waiting til daytime to board, hail by coastguard, etc. They sent in their most agressive special forces against nationalist turkish civilians, then called these civilians "terrorists" and insulted the whole turkish nation.
I find it downright tragic that the muslim-hating right is winning the debates, and that no rational people seem left. this should have been a police/coastguard mission, not a SF-task. Its like launching the Navy SEALs at Sea Shepard, or the french sinking of the Greenpeace-boat. Bloody stupid and unecessary.
But I guess in this forum, Israel can make no mistakes… sigh…

Several activists were shot at point blank range to the head. So what? The top deck of the ship was small and crawling with knife- and metal rod-wielding "activists" who had already thrown 3 IDF commandos overboard to fates unknown to their other team members. If given the choice between having the same happen to your or your teammate and shooting the attackers in the head, what would you do? Break out the tea and oranges?
The rest of your 'argument' is nothing more than a reiteration of the usual lefty nonsense which has already been answered elsewhere.

Umm – Your 'should have' arguments are invalid (should have been a coast guard, should have been daylight etc) for what is their point?
The facts are: that this ship had been hailed many times and had been asked, by both Israel and Egypt, to go to either an Israeli or Egyptian port, unload their 'humanitarian aid' in either place and have it shipped to Gaza by land. These people refused both offers and instead, insisted on breaching a legal blockade. That means it's no longer a coast guard but a military issue – and day or night makes no difference.
As for forensic reports – so what? If an individual is battling someone who has taken their weapon away from you or is smashing your head in with a pipe, then, you or another soldier has the right to shoot that individual – point blank or from afar.
Don't move into the ad hominem fallacious descriptions of we who reject your arguments; we reject them because they are invalid. Not because we are anti-Muslim or pro-Israel or irrational. I focus only on the hard data and the use of reason – and I assure you, I'm known to strongly critique Israel on many occasions. This is not one of them.
Stick to the facts; you are the one who is being irrational. Sigh.

Israel needs to demand that Turkey apologize for collaborating with the Al Qaeda-related IHH terrorists, the organization behind this attack. Israel needs to say it expects Turkey to pay Israel for ALL costs related to the operation. Turkey has chosen the path of Islamism. Relations between Turkey and israel will never be the same. NATO needs to face up to this as well and throw Turkey out of the organization and invite Israel in.

Turkey has now officially become the 21st century version of the barbary pirates. Islamic extortion 101 folks, pay attention.
The world should take note of how America handled that one! If only we had leaders with balls!December 13, 2010 - 12:40 pm Link to this Comment | Reply -

I couldn't read the entire article. I guess we can begin waving goodbye to Israel. With leaders like that (worse than Obama) the citizens of Israel are toast.

Long ago I read an article about the Vikings sacking of Paris. There was a quote, and I don't have time to find it, but it goes something like… If you give barbarians gold not to attack you, then attacking you looks to barbarians like a profitable endeavor.
It went on to talk about how you must exact a cost against them, so they are reluctant to come back. Israel has just done the unthinkable. It doesn't give them moral authority. It doesn't make them look more civilized. The VIP club for world despots called the United Nations will always hate them, and those that seek to do them harm are now emboldened.
This notion of not lowering yourself to their level is a ridiculous childhood platitude. If they could reason on a civilized level, they wouldn't act like barbarians; therefore, you must communicate with them on a level they understand.

I thought it was the policy of Israel not to negotiate with terrorists? To pay them off is insanity and the end of Eretz Israel.

Israel dispatched these nine terrorist thugs to paradise giving them the ultimate reward for jihad and now it has to apologize and pay up for their glorious deaths? It's mindboggling! Utterly, totally mindboggling!

Danegeld, by Rudyard Kipling (1911)
IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation,
To call upon a neighbour and to say:
"We invaded you last night – we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray,
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:"We never pay any one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost,
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"December 14, 2010 - 7:31 am Link to this Comment | Reply -
If Israel pays $100k today, tomorrow there will be thousands Muslims ready to go and die and to be a martyr and make big money for they families in the process! Stop, no pay-no way!

A New Ministry
The John Wesley staff, which then included Harrison as chaplain, turned this dilemma into an opportunity to create a new ministry. In 2001, the Sheltered Workshop La Esperanza, with 12 students and Harrison as director, opened in a small, rented house near the Wesley school. Within a year, the General Assembly of the Methodist Church in Chile approved La Esperanza as a conference mission, recognizing it as another means of outreach to persons with handicapping conditions and their families. Currently the mission serves 18 people ranging in age from 21 to 69. Day-to-day activities at the workshop give them the opportunity to explore, identify and use their many God-given talents in a non-threatening environment while simultaneously learning how to better care for themselves. Arts and crafts made by the participants provide them with a sense of accomplishment and productivity, as well as monthly wages. Although many of the adults at La Esperanza live at home with their families, others are in elderly care facilities ill-equipped to meet their needs. With Dora Canales, the workshop's chaplain, Harrison has established meetings and a series of retreats to help families begin to make arrangements for future care of their sons and daughters. Long-term plans to offer residential care at La Esperanza became an urgent priority last fall when conditions at an elderly care facility endangered two people. From November through February, Harrison shared her own apartment with them, providing a safe and comfortable space.
With the blessing of La Esperanza's board of directors, a house to serve as an emergency shelter was rented in Janauary 2004. Soon afterward, mission groups from Conway, Ark., and Centreville, Va., helped clean and furnish it for the first two full-time residents and a volunteer family, who moved in later in February. Harrison's ability to meet such daunting challenges doesn't surprise Bruce Stanley, who served as her field education supervisor at Duke and later, as the N.C. Conference director of missions, her advocate to the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries. "Shana is probably the most powerful person I have known," says Stanley. "She has both an academic interest in missions, and the willingness to undo her life for the vocation." An ordained elder in the United Methodist Church, Harrison made a rare return from Chile in the summer of 2001 to officiate at the wedding of friends Tracy Anne Allred D'97 and Mark Chancey G'99. Allred, who has visited La Esperanza, describes Harrison as "a person who lives her life finding Jesus in the struggle for justice with those she serves." Community worship at La Esperanza is a dynamic experience, says Harrison. The traditional sense of reverence and order in the liturgy may be enhanced by the unexpected scream of a disabled child expressing joy or a believer who interrupts the liturgy to touch a cross behind the altar and show Christ's immediate presence. Her goal, says Harrison, is to "provide a place where all are loved and accepted. A place where, in return, these adults can thrive and show others the face of Christ." Harrison publishes an electronic newsletter, Spilling the Chile Beans, for friends and supporters of the workshop in the United States. To request a subscription, or for more information about La Esperanza, contact Harrison at firstname.lastname@example.com |

The Energy Assistance Program assists low-income households that pay a high proportion of household income for home energy.
The program consists of three components: Fuel Assistance, Crisis Assistance and Cooling Assistance.
The Fuel Assistance component helps eligible households with the costs of heating their homes.To be eligible for Fuel Assistance,
there are certainincome guidelines, resource maximums and living arrangements that must be met. The household must also be responsible
for paying the heating bill. Fuel Assistance applications are accepted from the secondTuesday in October through the secondriday in
November. Applicants receive notice of their eligibilitydetermination by mid-December.
The Crisis Assistance component helps eligiblehouseholds in emergency energy situations that cannot be met by
Fuel Assistance or other resources.Crisis applications are accepted from November 1 through March 15. All crisis assistance is based on availability of funds.
The Cooling Assistance component helps eligible households with the costs of cooling their homes. To be eligible for Cooling Assistance,
there are certain income guidelines, need, and there must be an elderly person, person with a disability or a child under 6 living in the home.
Cooling applications are accepted from June 15 through August 15. All crisis assistance is based on availability of funds.
The Food Stamp program is designed to promote better nutrition for low-income families by increasing their food purchasing power.
If you live in Culpeper County, you would apply at our office. Each application is screened for entitlement to emergency service.
If your application is screened as an emergency, eligibility will be determined within seven days. Regular processing is thirty days from the date of application.
Eligibility for Food Stamps and the amount of the allotment varies according to the number of eligible household members, income, resources, deductions,
nd other eligibility factors. Food Stamp allotments are based on the date that the agency receives your application.
If you think you may be eligible, you should file your application immediately.
Members of Healthy Culpeper have collaborated to form a committee that provides food commodities (staples) for low-income families in Culpeper County.
The distribution is held each month at Culpeper United Methodist Church (1233 Oaklawn Drive), from 9-11 a.m. The Culpeper Connector provides drop off and pick up transportation to the church.
Families that are income eligible will be enrolled to receive food commodities on a monthly basis. Households that receive Food Stamps or Medicaid or
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are automatically eligible.
Please be there on time-registration and distribution takes a little time.
VOLUNTEERS are always needed for unloading, packaging and distribution
WHEN: Fridays and Saturdays around the distribution dates
SNAP (Supplimental Nutrition Assistance Program)
Households have to meet income tests unless all members are receiving TANF, SSI, or in some places general assistance. Most households must meet both the gross and net income tests, but a household
with an elderly person or a person who is receiving certain types of disability payments only has to meet the net income test. Households, except those noted, that have income over the amounts listed below cannot get SNAP benefits.
(Oct. 1, 2012 through Sept. 30, 2013). To apply online; click here.
Household size
Gross monthly income (130 percent of poverty)
Net monthly income (100 percent of poverty)
Each additional member
The Medicaid program helps certain groups of low-income people with payments for health and medical care. The local Social Service agency in the county where you live takes applications and determines eligibility.
The Department of Medical Assistance Services pays the bills to providers. Medicaid is divided into three basic programs: Families and Children; Aged, Blind and Disabled; and Long Term Care.
Medicaid is different from Medicare. Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people who are age 65 or older or disabled. It is administered by the Social Security Administration.
FAMIS is a Health Insurance Program for uninsured children under age 19. You may request FAMIS by calling the FAMIS Central Operation Center, at 1-866- 87FAMIS, or
by submitting the FAMIS/Medicaid application to your local Social Service Department. Additional information about Medicaid, FAMIS, and Medicare may be found at http://www.famis.org .
TANF is a program that provides temporary financial assistance to eligible families and children. The family receives a monthly cash payment to meet their basic needs. To be eligible, a family must be financially needy and must meet certain other requirements.

ASOS Magazine takes us inside the stylish world & wardrobe of the beautiful Olivia Palermo – shot on the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn by famed photog Tesh – The new queen of street style, no one does the New York look quite like Olivia Palermo. But while on The City there's a dark side to her fashion dealings, Francesca Babb discovers you shouldn't believe everything you see on television…
"It's unfortunate (of the reputation that the TV show has given her), but I think that people understand what they see on that show is not who I am. It's not accurate. I'm funny, I'm enthusiastic and I'm not a negative person. I always try and look for the good in things." – Olivia

Real-time Blend Demo is a Nokia Developer example demonstrating real-time use of the blend filter provided by the Nokia Imaging SDK. The selected texture, using the selected blend mode and blend effect level, is applied to a stream of images from the phone's camera. The user can explore the results using different textures, blend modes and blend effect levels. Furthermore, the sample is demonstrating usage of a gradient input image (GradientImageSource), meaning that one of the available textures is generated in-code, instead of being a bitmap.
Version 1.2 adds blending of partial textures with drag, pinch-zoom, and rotate gestures for exact positioning, size, and orientation.
The application is a dual page app with a full screen viewfinder with blend effect applied on the main page, and a texture selection page for changing the active blend texture. On the main viewfinder page the camera preview image stream is blended with the selected texture using the selected blend mode and blend effect level. Changing the blend mode happens by tapping on the left and right indicators in the application button bar, and the blend effect level can be adjusted with the slider on the left. Active texture can be changed by tapping on the "change texture" button in the application button bar.
Figure 1. Lens flare texture and hardlight blend mode with effect level close to maximum
Figure 2. Texture selection page allows user to select the texture to be used with the blend effect
There are two types of textures: fullscreen and partial. Selecting partial texture enables texture positioning: user can move, scale and rotate the texture by drag and pinch gestures. Under the hood there are no differences, both fullscreen and partial textures are treated the same. The differentiation happens on UI level: selecting a partial texture enables the gesture handling code. Textures are simply semitransparent bitmaps, with the exception of the red-green-blue gradient texture. It is technically not a bitmap, but a Nokia Imaging SDK GradientImageSource, meaning that the gradient input image, the texture, is generated in-code.
Figure 3. Application architecture overview class diagram (simplified)
The application structure consists basically of four key classes. The MainPage shows the camera preview image feed using a VideoBrush and a MediaElement which gets the modified (with blend effect) image stream from the CameraStreamSource, which in turn gets the modified frames from the NokiaImagingSDKEffects that is connected with the PhotoCaptureDevice.
The camera preview image stream is managed by the CameraStreamSource class. GetSampleAsync(...) method uses the NokiaImagingSDKEffects.GetNewFrameAndApplyEffect(...) to get the modified camera buffer and reports it to the MediaElement with the protected MediaStreamSource.ReportGetSampleCompleted(...) method.
... public class CameraStreamSource : MediaStreamSource { private readonly Dictionary<MediaSampleAttributeKeys, string> _emptyAttributes = new Dictionary<MediaSampleAttributeKeys, string>(); private MediaStreamDescription _videoStreamDescription = null; private MemoryStream _frameStream = null; private ICameraEffect _cameraEffect = null; private long _currentTime = 0; private int _frameStreamOffset = 0; private int _frameTime = 0; private int _frameCount = 0; private Size _frameSize = new Size(0, 0); private int _frameBufferSize = 0; private byte[] _frameBuffer = null; ... protected override void OpenMediaAsync() { // Member variables are initialized here ... } protected override void GetSampleAsync(MediaStreamType mediaStreamType) { var task = _cameraEffect.GetNewFrameAndApplyEffect(_frameBuffer.AsBuffer(), _frameSize); // When asynchroneous call completes, proceed by reporting about the sample completion task.ContinueWith((action) => { _frameStream.Position = 0; _currentTime += _frameTime; _frameCount++; var sample = new MediaStreamSample(_videoStreamDescription, _frameStream, _frameStreamOffset, _frameBufferSize, _currentTime, _emptyAttributes); ReportGetSampleCompleted(sample); } } ... }
Displaying the modified camera preview image stream on the screen is handled by the MainPage class. In the XAML declaration of the class there is a VideoBrush that renders the LayoutRoot grid's background.
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Tap="LayoutRoot_Tap" ManipulationStarted="LayoutRoot_ManipulationStarted" ManipulationDelta="LayoutRoot_ManipulationDelta"> <Grid.Background> <VideoBrush x:Name="BackgroundVideoBrush"/> </Grid.Background> ... </Grid>
In the C# code an instance of the CameraStreamSource is set as the source for a MediaElement and then the MediaElement is set as a source for the VideoBrush:
... public class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage { private MediaElement _mediaElement = null; private CameraStreamSource _cameraStreamSource = null; ... private async void Initialize() { // Camera stream source is initialized here ... _mediaElement = new MediaElement(); _mediaElement.Stretch = Stretch.UniformToFill; _mediaElement.BufferingTime = new TimeSpan(0); _mediaElement.SetSource(_cameraStreamSource); BackgroundVideoBrush.SetSource(_mediaElement); ... } ... }
Blend effect is applied by GetNewFrameAndApplyEffect(...) method in NokiaImagingSDKEffects class. Notice that if there is no valid texture image URI set with the SetTexture(...) method, then the Initialize(...) method automatically generates the red-green-blue texture in-code, using the Nokia Imaging SDK's GradientImageSource.
public class NokiaImagingSDKEffects { private PhotoCaptureDevice _photoCaptureDevice = null; private CameraPreviewImageSource _cameraPreviewImageSource = null; private FilterEffect _filterEffect = null; private BlendFilter _blendFilter = null; private Uri _blendImageUri = null; private IImageProvider _blendImageProvider = null; private Semaphore _semaphore = new Semaphore(1, 1); ... public double EffectLevel { get; set; } public PhotoCaptureDevice CaptureDevice { set { if (_photoCaptureDevice != value) { while (!_semaphore.WaitOne(100)); _photoCaptureDevice = value; Initialize(); _semaphore.Release(); } } } ... public async Task GetNewFrameAndApplyEffect(IBuffer frameBuffer, Size frameSize) { if (_semaphore.WaitOne(500)) { var scanlineByteSize = (uint)frameSize.Width * 4; // 4 bytes per pixel in BGRA888 mode var bitmap = new Bitmap(frameSize, ColorMode.Bgra8888, scanlineByteSize, frameBuffer); if (_filterEffect != null) { _blendFilter.Level = EffectLevel; var renderer = new BitmapRenderer(_filterEffect, bitmap); await renderer.RenderAsync(); } else { var renderer = new BitmapRenderer(_cameraPreviewImageSource, bitmap); await renderer.RenderAsync(); } ... _semaphore.Release(); } } public void SetTexture(Uri textureUri) { if (_semaphore.WaitOne(500)) { Uninitialize(); _blendImageUri = textureUri; Initialize(); _semaphore.Release(); } } private void Initialize() { _cameraPreviewImageSource = new CameraPreviewImageSource(_photoCaptureDevice); if (_blendImageUri != null) { // Using the texture set with the SetTexture method _blendImageProvider = new StreamImageSource((System.Windows.Application.GetResourceStream(_blendImageUri).Stream)); } else { // No texture set with the SetTexture method, fallback to a in-code generated // red-green-blue gradient texture var colorStops = new GradientStop[] { new GradientStop() { Color = Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00), Offset = 0.0 }, // Red new GradientStop() { Color = Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x00), Offset = 0.7 }, // Green new GradientStop() { Color = Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0x00, 0x00, 0xFF), Offset = 1.0 } // Blue }; var gradient = new RadialGradient(new Point(0, 0), new EllipseRadius(1, 0), colorStops); var size = new Size(640, 480); _blendImageProvider = new GradientImageSource(size, gradient); } switch (_effectIndex) { case 0: { EffectName = "1/16 - None"; } break; case 1: { EffectName = "2/16 - Normal"; _blendFilter = new BlendFilter(_blendImageProvider, BlendFunction.Normal, EffectLevel); } break; ... } if (_blendFilter != null) { _blendFilter.TargetArea = _targetArea; _blendFilter.TargetAreaRotation = _targetAreaRotation; var filters = new List<IFilter>(); filters.Add(_blendFilter); _filterEffect = new FilterEffect(_cameraPreviewImageSource) { Filters = filters }; } } ... }
By default the BlendFilter foreground image is scaled to fill the background image. The position and size of the foreground image can be defined by using the TargetArea property of the BlendFilter. The TargetArea specifies a rectangular area where the foreground image gets drawn. The TargetArea coordinates are represented in unit coordinate space relative to the background image where (0, 0) is the top left corner and (1, 1) is the bottom right corner. The foreground image gets scaled and stretched to fit the TargetArea according to TargetOutputOption property. The TargetArea can also be rotated by setting the TargetAreaRotation property.
Figure: Positioned, rotated and scaled blend filter applied to camera viewfinder image
Figure: Partial filter texture selection view
In Real-time Blend demo the textures selected from "Partial" category can be moved, scaled and rotated by using drag and pinch gestures. The gesture event handling is implemented in MainPage class by handling manipulation events of LayoutRoot element in LayoutRoot_ManipulationDelta method. The TargetArea and TargetAreaRotation of the BlendFilter are set in SetTargetArea method of NokiaImagingSDKEffects class. Note that semaphore is used to prevent modification of TargetArea while the filter is being rendered.
public void SetTargetArea(Rect targetArea, double targetAreaRotation) { if (_semaphore.WaitOne(500)) { _targetArea = targetArea; _targetAreaRotation = targetAreaRotation; if (_blendFilter != null) { _blendFilter.TargetArea = targetArea; _blendFilter.TargetAreaRotation = targetAreaRotation; } _semaphore.Release(); } }

Members' Association
What is IHMA?
International House Members Association, or IHMA for short, has represented the interests of residents in the House since its inception in 1967. We organise a multitude of social and cultural events and activities throughout the year, aiming to encourage interaction and community spirit amongst the residents of the House. As a student representative body IHMA also takes feedback from residents about any concerns which they may have about life at the House.
Check out what IHMA is all about on our facebook page.
Welcome from the Chairperson
It's a brand new year at the University of Sydney and, more excitingly, a brand new year at International House. To all new residents of IH, welcome: you are about to enter a place which will provide you with some of the best memories and friendships of your life. To all returning residents, welcome back: here's to more fun times!
International House is a college like no other. Our community becomes more culturally diverse every year, with two hundred students coming together from all over the world to study, grow, and share great life experiences. Our cultural diversity strengthens the friendships which are made in the House, creating an accepting and open-minded environment where everyone can feel comfortable, appreciated, and at liberty to be themselves. Not only is difference accepted; it is celebrated. Even through the simple act of sharing a meal, residents are exposed to many different cultures and philosophies, and become more knowledgeable, worldly, and understanding in the process.
If International House is just a house, then the International House Members Association is what makes it a home. This is the organisation run by you, the residents, which makes living at the House and making friendships so easy and enjoyable. Our calendar kicks off with an intense, fun-packed Orientation Week, which makes for a seamless transition into college life. There is the Food Fair, an exhilarating battle of residents' cooking skills and creativity to create yummy dishes from all over the world. If you are a musician, actor, or artist, then you are likely to enjoy events such as IH Idol, our singing competition; Palladian Cup, where you can represent the House in vocal and instrumental performance, dance, art, drama, and debating; and iNight - one of the highlights of the year – where residents showcase their skills through theatre, dance, film-making and more. There are also many parties organised by IHMA, from the fun and casual karaoke party, to the classy Harbour Cruise in May that offers spectacular views of Darling Harbour. Just a few of the many other events in the IHMA calendar include Dessert Fair, Charity Night, Interfloor Games, and a collection of special cultural events celebrating Eid Al-Fitr, Mooncake Festival, Oktober Fest and Diwali.
You can also be involved on a more regular basis through our clubs, societies, and sports teams. For those competitive sportspeople, you can join one of our many teams, or simply book a court and go for a friendly hit of tennis after class. There is also a choir, dance classes, an art club, a Bible study group, academic tutorials, a language exchange program, and so much more – and you can always start your own club if you feel something is missing! There are countless opportunities to maximise your experience at International House, as well as in Sydney, and IHMA is here to make that happen.
It is hard to sum up such a special place in words; come and experience International House for yourself. The friendships, knowledge, compassion and memories this place offers are not only lasting, but will change you for the better.
Let's make 2014 the best year yet!
Tess Bennetts
Chairperson, IHMA 2014
The IHMA Committee
IHMA operates via a committee which is elected by residents at the start of each year. The committee is split up into a number of sub-committees, each responsible for the organisation and management of a particular aspect of resident life – for example, sport, food, social activities and so forth.

LAGERFELD GOES GLAM: The hype surrounding Karl Lagerfeld's new capsule collection for Macy's fell a bit flat in the Midwest on Friday after the line made its runway debut during the department store's annual Glamorama fashion-show-meets-concert in Minneapolis. Attendees were more impressed with the other collections shown that night by Marc Jacobs, Jean Paul Gaultier, Tracy Reese and Sonia Rykiel — although those are designer lines and far from the masstige Lagerfeld brings. The 45-piece collection hits 235 Macy's Impulse departments nationwide and macys.com on Aug. 31 with prices starting at $49 for graphic T-shirts and scarves, and topping out at $169 for a knee-length tweed coat. The silhouettes are streamlined, while the color palette is mainly shades of black and white, with some pink and red thrown in for good measure.
Grammy Award winner Bruno Mars got the biggest reaction of the night with hit songs like "Grenade" and "Just the Way You Are." Far East Movement also performed.
Glamorama, which benefits Children's Cancer Research Fund, will also make pit stops in Chicago on Aug. 12, Los Angeles on Sept. 23 and San Francisco on Sept. 30.

A fast-moving storm from the west will blast across Colorado over the next 24 hours, bringing wind and heavy snow to the mountains (so travel westward is not your best choice until the storm moves out of the state), and a combination of wind rain and snow to the eastern Plains. Expect the unsettled conditions through Sunday, with increasing sunshine Monday (with a few lingering showers). You'll get more sunshine and warmer temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday, with windy days on Thursday and Friday, as another cold front moves through. Saturday looks sunny and mild at this point.

Larsen Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Larsen Syndrome is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Larsen syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that has been associated with a wide variety of different symptoms. Characteristic findings of the disorder include dislocations of the large joints, skeletal malformations, and distinctive facial features. Additional findings may include abnormal curvature of the spine, clubfoot, short stature, and breathing (respiratory) difficulties. The classic form of Larsen syndrome is caused by mutations of the FLNB gene. The mutation may occur spontaneously or be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
Some researchers have identified individuals with apparent multiple joint dislocations and skeletal anomalies whose condition appears to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. These individuals often have more severe symptoms than those with classic Larsen syndrome. It is not clear whether these individuals have an autosomal recessive form of Larsen syndrome or a similar, yet distinct, disorder.

Mercedes gave him a good run for his money in qualifying in Korea, but ultimately it was Sebastian Vettel who took yet another pole position - his sixth of the season so far. But the Red Bull driver knows he has a job on his hands to win Sundays race, as he explained to reporters on Saturday evening
Q: Sebastian, how satisfied are you with yet another pole position?
Sebastian Vettel: Very happy, having done it on my first lap in Q3. I started my second approach too close to Kimi (Raikkonen) so could not go any faster. It was probably a bit of a misjudgement, so thank God my first lap did the trick. And for tomorrow things look pretty promising.
Q: Red Bull motorsport consultant Helmut Marko said that he believes Mercedes will be faster in the race than in qualifying. Does that mean youll be threatened?
SV: Well, the pace that we saw from them yesterday in the long runs was very good, so yes, it might be even tighter tomorrow. With the two straights there are good chances to overtake, so lets wait and see what happens.
Q: It was your sixth pole position of the season. Would anything but pole have been a disappointment?
SV: No, you cannot put it that way. It was pretty close today and I was lucky to do my time on my first attempt in Q3.
Q: Yesterday you said that your car still has a life of its own. How did you manage to tame it today?
SV: Yesterday the set-up was a bit too hard so we sat down in the evening and managed to make it a bit softer, a bit better to handle - and it worked.
Q: There is talk about a frightening level of Red Bull dominance. How surprised are you that even Mercedes have lost form in qualifying since around Belgium?
SV: That is all a bit exaggerated. The fact is that we are speaking about two-tenths - no more. And as I just said, I was very lucky with my lap. For the race it will be even tighter. Weve seen many times that Ferrari is significantly stronger in the race than in qualifying so I expect them to be right there. And Mercedes showed good long-run performance yesterday, so they will be there as well. So we definitely cannot rest on any laurels. It would be the completely wrong approach to think already before the race that youve done it.
Q: Ferrari are hoping for rain - or that a mishap will come your way this time, and not Marks
SV: First of all, we have had two DNFs so far - and Mark and I share that. But, of course, you always hope that the car is not going to give up on you - but you never actively think about it. Maybe yes, the car has been a bit more sensible in the last couple of races, but we managed to control that, so lets hope it will also be the case tomorrow.
Q: Have you given any consideration with the car set-up to the fact that it might rain tomorrow?
SV: No.
Q: Sebastian, as a driver you get a lot of praise. Bernie Ecclestone said you remind him of Ayrton Senna. How do you take all that?
SV: You always try to get better with every race and, yes, I believe that we have raised the bar pretty high over the last couple of years. But I dont reflect too much on that. I believe that it is not so healthy to give self reflection too much room. I try to do my job as well as I can and enjoy what I am doing.
