The history of the City of Alexandria is rich in seafaring traditions. While the City is no longer the seaport of the past, seagoing vessels ply the waters of the Potomac River and tie up to the docks along the Alexandria Waterfront. Vessels of all types, including pleasure boats, cruise liners, transport ships, tour ships and ships of war, routinely run the Potomac or tie up to docks along Alexandria's river front. In addition, during the warm weather months, thousands of residents and visitors can be found along the waterfront.
In 1997, the City of Alexandria Fire Department initiated development of the Waterfront Operations Team to assist in the protection of citizens and mariners who use the various waterways in and adjacent to the city either for business or recreation. The Team was later renamed the Marine Operations Team to better reflect the multiple roles of the team, which include Open Water and Swift Water Rescue as well as Marine Firefighting (all members are trained to NFPA 1405 guidelines). Working out of two fire stations, members of the Marine Operations Team also work with Metropolitan Washington Council of Government member departments, both Police and Fire, to provide protection to those imperiled in the marine environment across the region.
ResourcesThe City of Alexandria Marine Operations Team consists of 24 members and a Team Leader (Battalion Chief) trained and training as Marine Firefighters, Swift Water Rescue Technicians, Lifeguards, Boat Operators and Crewmembers.
Boat 204 and Boat 214: Designed to be rapidly deployed in all weather conditions, these Zodiac inflatables are used by the Marine Operations Team to gain rapid access to persons in distress in the marine environment. They can also be utilized to assist members of the Hazardous Materials in deploying booms. The inflatables are towed by Engine 204 or Support Unit 204 (Chevy Suburban), which is equipped with a variety of water rescue equipment.
Fireboat 201 Vigilant: Vigilant is a Class 'C' fireboat equipped with a 1500 gpm PTO pump and a full compliment of equipment as required by NFPA 1925. Powered by twin Cummings diesels and Hamilton hydro jets, Vigilant can run at greater than 40 knots. Paramedics can be deployed aboard Vigilant to give the vessel an Advanced Life Support capability.
TrainingMembers of the Marine Operations Team train to meet NFPA guidelines and standards including NFPA 1405, Marine Firefighting for Land-Based Firefighters. and NFPA 1670, Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Rescue Incidents. Additional training includes Swift Water Rescue, Ice Rescue, American Red Cross Lifeguard and the USCGA Boating Skills and Seamanship or an equivalent. MOT members routinely train with member jurisdictions in the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and the Potomac River Rescue Association. Members of the Marine Operations Team are required to attend at least 24 hours of continuing education per year to remain members of the team.
Regional AssetsIn November 2004 Fireboat Vigilant joined forces with Fireboat #1 John Glenn (District of Columbia FD), Fireboat #512 Firestorm (OWL VFD, Prince William Co., Virginia) and Fireboat #420 Gunston Hall (Fairfax County, Virginia, Fire & Rescue Department) to provide mariners and other users of the upper tidal Potomac River with an unparalleled level of protection.
Swift water rescue teams are also located throughout the city and region and operate regardless of the environment or jurisdictional boundary.

Lesson 17: Better Safe Than Sorry
Some think it is quicker and cheaper to take the easy route when accomplishing a task at hand or to rush through a project regardless of the hazards; however, "easy" always comes with a price and it is usually very high.
Remodelers have to address many safety precautions on a daily basis. When not enough attention is placed on safety, the cost to the business can be quite high. A dedicated commitment to safety by both the owner and employees helps ensure remodeling projects are successful and can save time, money, and materials. If a remodeler gets injured, or is even at risk of becoming injured, while remodeling a home, the associated costs will lower the profitability of the project.
One of the easiest and most cost-efficient ways to prevent any loss due to accidents is to conduct, and support the participation of employees in, safety programs. Remodelers are required to comply with safety regulations anyway, so it makes sense to actively abide by safety prevention methods. Such training is designed to enable employees to learn their jobs properly, bring new ideas to the workplace, reinforce existing safety policies, and put an injury and illness prevention program into action. Such a training program should include an indoctrination program, written material for employees, and periodic "toolbox talks" on safety (at least every three months). Be sure to keep outlines of the material covered and attendance records for all these functions, preferably signed by the attendees.
By making these safety sessions mandatory, overhead costs due to accidents can be significantly decreased. According to Jim Emmons, safety director at Baltimore-based Structural Group and author of A Field Guide to Better Safety and Why Contractor Safety is Important for an Owner, "the hidden costs of an accident are four to 10 times more than the actual costs of the claim and encompass items such as employee-replacement costs, OSHA citations, increased insurance costs and damaged product."
If a company holds an excellent safety record, it can be indicative that they take maintaining a safe work environment very seriously, which will add to the bottom line.
When using trade contractors, remodelers should also take considerable effort researching those contractors to make sure that their standards are met. Reviewing a trade contractor's safety record should be central to a remodeler's decision-making process.
When thinking of jobsite safety, it is important to consider the following (far from fully inclusive):
- Every employer should have a written injury and illness prevention plan.
- Training is the most important part of the injury and illness prevention plan.
- All trade contractors must be made aware of any hazards on the jobsite.
- Before beginning any project, determine what action will be taken if a medical emergency arises.
- Ensure that appropriate fire extinguishers are present on the jobsite and kept up to date and fully charged.
- Keep the jobsite picked up and clean. Contracts with trade contractors should include requirements that the work area be broom-clean at the end of the work shift.
- Use ladders properly.
Additional rules that should be standard operating procedures on all jobsites include:
- Keep floors and platforms free of projections, obstruction, or holes.
- Do not block or obstruct exits or fire extinguishers.
- Do not remove safety devices or guards from tools or equipment.
- Report any accident, injury or illness, regardless of how minor.
- Correct or report any safety device that is missing or inoperable.
- Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance of equipment.
- No jewelry, long hair or loose clothing is allowed around any operating machinery.
- Use proper lifting techniques to avoid overextension when lifting.
- Report all unsafe work condition to a supervisor or safety coordinator.
Maintaining a high level of safety not only benefits the remodeler and his employees, but it promotes health and well-being for the homeowner and anyone else involved in the project, demonstrating to the community a high level of professionalism.

"wonderful product"
Wondul product,cheap, and works. I am so happy to be able to buy this in my area. Our vet costs more than the average vet due to being then only one in a 2hour drive. so when my babies got mange from a stray someone dumped I got worried. My mom told me to check at the fed supply place bought this and it worked on all 3 dogs.
"Rescue Dog Aid"
A necceary product for rescues of dropped off dogs in rural areas. Or for pets who have gotten loose.
"Great Product!"
This product has been wonderful in helping with abandoned & homeless dogs that have contracted mange. Not enough has been done to stop the inhumane 'humans', but helping these guys left alone is a start. Please spay & neuter your companions, 2 or 4 legged! And, yes, Happy Jack, is a GOD send.

Very good Bluetooth device great for hands free phone calls and even better XXXXXXXXX microphone.
The Aliph Jawbone Prime is a super headset which comes in a highly attractive - albeit "plastic" (not glass) - case. But you are not purchasing the headset for the packaging but rather for sound quality which is where the Aliph Jawbone really delivers. Superb sound quality with controls that are easy to mange even for those of us lacking a truly functional "thumb!" The design is great as are the colors and did I mention that the sound quality is just super and given the price a great investment. If there is a challenge it is getting the headset to fit snuggly in the ear. While the Aliph Jawbone comes with a nice range of ear plug options both in size and style, I am still trying to find the "ideal" fit without feeling very real pain. And while this may be a product of an ear injury due to a wrestling injury in high school the reality is that it is difficult to appreciate sound quality when one is in pain although it does create the impetus for focused and brief conversations! A great value for the dollar...good looking...functional...and every bit a super value. Now if I can only find a way not to be in pain!
Extremely disappointed...you have to have your phone right next to you for it to work
This is a great headset, the sound is very clear and the reception is great. Price is excellent, you can't beat it anywhere. The first one received did not work however Overstock had the replacement to me in less than 1 week. Great Price, Great Product, GREAT customer service!

Bronchiolitis is swelling and mucus buildup in the smallest air passages in the lungs (bronchioles), usually due to a viral infection.
Bronchiolitis usually affects children under the age of 2, with a peak age of 3 - 6 months. It is a common, and sometimes severe illness. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause. More than half of all infants are exposed to this virus by their first birthday.
Other viruses that can cause bronchiolitis include:
You can catch the virus if you come into direct contact with nasal fluids or airborne droplets from someone who has the illness. This may happen if the person sneezes or coughs near you.
Bronchiolitis is seasonal and appears more often in the fall and winter months. It is a very common reason for infants to be hospitalized during winter and early spring.
Risk factors for bronchiolitis include:
Some children may have few or minor symptoms.
Bronchiolitis begins as a mild upper respiratory infection. Over a period of 2 - 3 days, the child develops more breathing problems, including wheezing and a "tight" wheezy cough.
Symptoms include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and listen to the lungs. This may reveal:
Tests that may be done include:
Sometimes, no treatment is necessary. Antibiotics do not work against viral infections. Most medications do not help treat bronchiolitis.
Supportive therapy can include:
Children in the hospital may need oxygen therapy and fluids given through a vein (IV).
Rarely, antiviral medications, such as ribavirin, may be used to treat extremely ill children.
Usually, the symptoms get better within a week. Breathing difficulty usually gets better by the third day.
Call your health care provider immediately, or go to the emergency room if the child with bronchiolitis:
Most cases of bronchiolitis are not easily preventable because the viruses that cause the disorder are common in the environment. Careful attention to hand washing, especially around infants, can help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses.
Family members with an upper respiratory infection should be especially careful around infants. Wash your hands often, especially before handling the child.
At this date, there is no RSV vaccine available. However, there is an effective product, called palivizumab (Synagis), for infants who are at high risk of developing severe disease from RSV. Ask your child's doctor whether this medication is right for your child.

After the Nerdist premiered the trailer for SUPERMAN: UNBOUND, the next entry in the popular, ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies, we knew it was only a matter of time before the official press releases went out. Here it is from Warner Brothers:
SUPERMAN: UNBOUND is coming to Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand and For Download via Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on May 7, 2013.
WonderCon/Anaheim will host the World Premiere of SUPERMAN: UNBOUND in late March.
Based on the Geoff Johns/Gary Frank 2008 release "Superman: Brainiac," SUPERMAN: UNBOUND finds the horrific force responsible for the destruction of Krypton – Brainiac – descending upon Earth. Brainiac has crossed the universe, collecting cities from interesting planets – Kandor, included – and now the all-knowing, ever-evolving android has his sights fixed on Metropolis. Superman must summon all of his physical and intellectual resources to protect his city, the love of his life, and his newly-arrived cousin, Supergirl.
The film's stellar voicecast is led by Matt Bomer (White Collar) as Superman, John Noble (Fringe, The Lord of the Rings films) as Brainiac, Stana Katic (Castle) as Lois Lane and Molly Quinn (Castle) as Supergirl.
Supervising Producer James Tucker (Justice League, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) also directs the film from a script by Bob Goodman (Warehouse 13, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns).
After watching the Batman: The Dark Knight Returns I am really excited for this release. Mix that with John Noble's performance as Brainiac (see trailer again below) and this looks like a win.
I'll check it out - but I will have to get used to the artistic style and the voice talent.

Is there any significant latency or performance penalty to expect with PRIME?
Phoronix: Nouveau Gains Reverse PRIME Support
The open-source Nouveau driver now has "Reverse PRIME" support...
Is there any significant latency or performance penalty to expect with PRIME?
So there was one type of prime support, now there's another. And that means? What? That prime was broken before and is good now?
Is prime in working order yet?
Can/Have projects like "The Bumblebee Project(TBP)" used this support to do anything meanful yet? When can I drop the poor-man's optimus in TBP and use true blue prime? Tired of waiting to be honest.
If I have got things right (which I seldom have) the thing here is that there are two ways of hooking up the hardware, and it comes down to which GPU is hooked up to the output (the physical connection to the screen), and which GPU could do the rendering, and "just output the image" through the chipset of the other GPU.
So PRIME is good if you computer has the intel gpu as primary, and allows the nvidia gpu to do rendering and output that trough the intel chips, while the reversed version is if your nvidia GPU is the "primary", hooked up one, but you want from time to time let the intel gpu do the rendering as it is less power hungry.
So without support for this, the first kind of hardware could never utilize the speed of the nvidia GPU since without PRIME it always used only the intel GPU, while the latter hardware was always draining power as the nvidia GPU is more hungry, and the driver could not let it step aside and let the intel GPU do the work.
You can watch Dave Airlie's presentation about stuff he did:
At the end he mentions what reverse prime is. I think it was basically the case where the nvidia card has a displayport (or other) output and when you connect a monitor you want the nvidia card doing the rendering and the outputting stuff while the intel chip is only used to display stuff the nvidia card renders on LVDS.
Cool, but I want to see proper re-clocking support and OpenGL 4.3.
I have (almost) no clue about Optimus and the Linux graphics stack. But I am wondering if this reverse PRIME support will enable the HDMI output on my Lenovo E530 Thinkpad. It has a VGA output which works (connected to Intel HD4000), but afaik the HDMI output is directly connected to the Nvidia Optimus graphic card and did not work so far.
Will reverse PRIME support bring us closer (how close?) to a plug'n'play HDMI output? Or has this nothing to do with each other?
Thanks for any hints...
Without having had time to actually *read* any of the recent information, I think this is aimed at exactly your situation.

John Gottman says: "[Happy couples] are scanning social environment for things they can appreciate and say thank you for. They are building this culture of respect and appreciation very purposefully. [Unhappy couples] are scanning the social environment for partners' mistakes."
"It's not just scanning environment," chimed in Julie Gottman. "It's scanning the partner for what the partner is doing right or scanning him for what he's doing wrong and criticizing versus respecting him and expressing appreciation."
Contempt, they have found, is the number one factor that tears couples apart. People who are focused on criticizing their partners miss a whopping 50 percent of positive things their partners are doing and they see negativity when it's not there...
Kindness, on the other hand, glues couples together...There are two ways to think about kindness. You can think about it as a fixed trait: either you have it or you don't. Or you could think of kindness as a muscle. In some people, that muscle is naturally stronger than in others, but it can grow stronger in everyone with exercise.
Fascinating, right? It can be easy to spot negative things (dirty dishes! late arrival to the restaurant!), but actively looking for things to appreciate is such a great habit to build. Everyone knows that relationships are hard work during tough times, but this article helped me realize that it's good to work on marriage all the time, even when things are going well. I love the idea of creating a culture of goodwill and purposefully striving to see your partner through rose-colored glasses. I'm going to try to be more conscious of this. My mom once told me that Dr. Phil says marriage and family should be a "soft place to fall." What a lovely visual.
Thoughts? Do you strive to be kind in your relationship? Have you ever been in a critical relationship? You feel like you're walking on eggshells! Read the full Atlantic article here, if you'd like.

Nancy ColacovicFrom the Conciliar Media Messenger: We are delighted to introduce to you the newest member of our Conciliar Press community: our customer service manager, Nancy Colakovic. Nancy comes to us from Narrow Path Bookstore in Lansing, Illinois, where she served for 15 years. She has a deep love for God and the Orthodox faith, a broad familiarity with Orthodox literature, a passion for customer service, and a long-standing affection for Conciliar Press.
Nancy says, "It was a mere 15 years ago that Conciliar Press helped to spark the beginnings of a small church bookstore of which God allowed me to be a part; I will never forget the help and support which I received at that time and throughout the ensuing years from the gracious staff of Conciliar Press. By His providence, the Lord has opened a new door for me and the opportunity to grow, I pray, from those learning experiences—to be there for you when you call Conciliar Press with your inquiries. I thank God and all those who have made it possible for me to join the Conciliar Press team; and I pray for His guidance and strength as we, our entire team, strive to serve all of you and meet or exceed your expectations for the glory of God."

What a week-end!! We had so much to celebrate and be thankful for. We began by welcoming His Eminence, Metropolitan Philip, at the airport on Friday afternoon. Fr. Ghattas, Fr. Boulos, Lebanon's Charge D'affaires, Mr. George Zeid, City of Ottawa Mayor, Mr. Larry O'Brien, along with members of the Parish Council and the Organizing Committee gathered for an enthusiastic welcome. We were so grateful that Metropolitan Philip was able to celebrate this momentous occasion with us.
Saturday's events began when members of the Organizing Committee were treated to a lovely luncheon with His Eminence Metropolitan Philip and His Grace Bishop Alexander at our Parish home. Daniel Abraham, Chairman of The Order of St. Ignatius of Antioch, was also present with us for the luncheon and all our week-end festivities. Khouriya Helene, as usual, prepared a delicious lunch including the Metropolitan's favourite - Kibbee Nayeh.
The sessions of the Department of Missions and Evangelism's fall conference are now available from Ancient Faith Radio. Topics and speakers recorded at the conference include Fr. Wilbur Ellsworth ("Out of the Closet and Into the World"); Deacon Michael Hyatt ("The Pre-denominational Christ for a Post-Christian America"); Fr. Nicholas Triantafilou ("Evangelism in the Early Church"), and Fr. Peter Gillquist (The Gospel of the Kingdom"). The Conference is an annual event, where Orthodox Christians of all jurisdictions gather for teaching and fellowship.
Boys at Project MexicoFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – October 26, 2010 – Kansas City, MO
In addition to serving the poor by establishing operational ministries and supplying parishes with needed resources for ministry a key part of the missions of FOCUS North America is to support existing Orthodox ministries facilitating or working directly with those most in need. This year FOCUS North America through the generosity of the Orthodox Vision Foundation, made grants to several ministries. The largest was awarded to Project Mexico which received $15,000 for its tremendous work. FOCUS North America gave away a total of $45,000 in grants to new and existing FOCUS Partner Ministries. (Go online for a complete list of FOCUS Partners.)
Mr. Geoff Bray, Executive Director of Project Mexico said, "Project Mexico and FOCUS North America are two Orthodox ministries engaged in service to the poor. The beauty of the cooperation between the two is that Americans or Canadians can come to Project Mexico, become inspired through their experience to continue to do God's work, and then work with FOCUS North America in their home countries to channel that ongoing desire to serve. The connection between short term foreign missions even overseas and domestic ministry with the poor in the Orthodox Church has never been stronger! We thank FOCUS North America for their support of Project Mexico and St. Innocent Orphanage."

The Fellowship of St. John the Divine2010 FSJD Fall RetreatFriday-Sunday, October 8-10, 2010Full retreat Recap (PDF)
For the 2nd Annual Fellowship Spiritual Retreat to the Antiochian Village, a luxury motor coach transported over forty of our Christian parishioners to Pennsylvania for a spiritual journey. We thank all the committee (Eddy Shaheen, Nicole Dahdal, Laura Mraibie, Abdo Imseeh). We thank Fr. Fouad Saba for his guidance and applaud Dn. Jim King for his invigorating sessions. We thank all of the volunteers, donors and registrants. Each aspect of the trip was well-organized and prepared much in advance. The committee set up a weekend full of worship services, sessions with Dn. Jim King of St. Mary's Livonia, MI, meals, team building exercises, fun, education and fellowship. Every person who came on the trip, whether a returnee from last year or a first time participant gave something dear to the overall wonder that this Retreat provided us.
We received, as one body in Christ, far greater than we gave individually. This Fellowship tradition has quickly become something truly unforgettable. A time to reawaken what may lie hidden underneath, to search for a more Christ-like mission in life, and a renewal of "every good and precious gift that comes from above." Our theme was "Fork in the Road: Choosing God's Way." After this trip, we are all on the same page as to what road we shall take, that of Christ Jesus.
To read reflections from participants and see more photos from the retreat, please download the retreat recap (PDF).
Fr. Antony Bahou writes:
Beloved in Christ,
It is with great regret and extreme sadness that I announce to you the passing of our dear sister in Christ Mary Helen Massad. She fell asleep in the Lord tonight at 6:30. Mary had "suffered many things of many physicians" as we hear in Scripture, and is now committed to the mercy of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, whom she loved most of all. Mary was an example of the Christian woman, and her love and faith have brought joy and peace to so many whose lives hers touched. May her memory be eternal, and may the Lord place her soul where the just repose.
The schedule of Services is as follows:
All Services except for the Burial will be held at our church.
Friday, October 22nd, Trisagion Service at 6 PM, followed by viewing until 9 PM.
Saturday, October 23rd, Funeral Service at 1 PM, followed by a procession to the burial site for the Burial Service at Restland in Coppell, 400 S. Freeport Parkway, 75019. Following the Burial, we will return to the church for the Mercy Meal.
The Family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations should be made to and/or sent to Saints Constantine & Helen Orthodox Church, 3755 Walnut Hill Lane, Dallas, TX 75229, and earmarked "Mary Helen Massad Memorial Fund."
Father Donald David Lloyd, 1912-2010At 12:20 a.m. on Sunday, October 17th, word was received that the eldest brother in the Diocese of Wichita, Father Donald David Wallace Lloyd, D.D., reposed at the age of ninety-seven.
The casket with Father Donald David will arrive at St. Mark Church in Denver, CO on Thursday, October 21st at 5:00 p.m., where he will lie in state until after the Requiem Mass which will be served at 7:00 p.m. He will then be taken to the St. Laurence Center in Tallahassee Creek, CO where, upon arrival, a brief low Mass of Requiem will be served followed by interment in the specially-prepared sepulchre just west of the Basilica of St Laurence. Then, this Saturday, October 23rd, the final Requiem Mass will be served at the Center at 11:00 a.m.. Condolences may be sent c/o Father John Connely (firstname.lastname@example.com) of St. Mark Church in Denver.
Fr. John Connelly writes:
Following his Chrismation and Ordination, Father Donald David Wallace Lloyd, D.D. told me very sincerely that never in his life had he felt so uplifted, blessed, (he used a vocabulary to explain this that I cannot entirely remember), and that his joy was beyond anything of merely earthly happiness. He was delivered from all the sorrow of 93 years (the age at which he received into Holy Orthodoxy) and then continued his earthly life as the most powerful intercessor that I have ever known. If your retired Priests want to see Paradise, let them follow this example. Father Donald was given names for prayer in restaurants and everywhere we traveled. He normally rose at 5.00 o'clock so to complete his Morning Prayers by 8:00 o'clock given his lists of living and departed souls.

On October 19, 2010, His Eminence Metropolitan Philip hosted the Annual Seminarian Dinner at the Archdiocese Headquarters in Englewood, New Jersey. In attendance were all of the Antiochian seminarians and their spouses from St. Tikhon, St. Vladimir, and Holy Cross seminaries. The evening began with the Vesper service for St. Artemios in the Chapel of St. John Chrysostom at the Archdiocese Headquarters. Following the Vesper service, everyone gathered in the large dining room for the group photo, which was then followed by dinner. After dinner, His Eminence Metropolitan Philip addressed the gathered seminarians and their spouses, discussing matters which are important to their future priesthood. He spoke about the importance of liturgical uniformity, of correctness and beauty of the liturgical music, and of the approach which a pastor must have toward his flock. After his remarks, His Eminence met privately with any third-year seminarian who desired to discuss important matters regarding his future.

Photo courtesy of IOCCBaltimore, MD (IOCC) — IOCC's efforts to partner with the Romanian Orthodox Church and local community-based organizations to provide vital social services received a boost recently when it was awarded a grant of more than $1.8 million to help strengthen the work of community-based organizations in Romania.
"Ten years ago, IOCC opened an office in Bucharest with the vision of working side-by-side with the Romanian Orthodox Church to serve people in need," reflected Constantine M. Triantafilou, IOCC Executive Director. "We are gratified to have this opportunity to take one more step toward that goal of a vibrant network for diakonia in partnership with Filantropia."
The project will assist Filantropia, a national network of community-based organizations under the auspices of the Romanian Orthodox Church, to improve the social services it provides to orphans, the elderly, families living in poverty, prisoners, the terminally ill and others in need in Romania. The training and organizational development that will be provided through the project will enable Filantropia to become a strategic partner in improving social services at the local, regional and national levels.
The new program has been made possible through the Romanian Ministry of Labor, Family and Equal Opportunity and co-financed by the European Social Fund through the Sectorial Operational Program for Human Resources Development 2007-2013.
Antiochian Village 5K Trail RunnerOn October 2, the weather was perfect at Antiochian Village, where a 5K Trail Run through the trails at the Village raised funds for the Special Oympics of Pennsylvania. Barli Ross, the Program Coordinator and Paul Finley, the Director of the Antiochian Village Conference Center, welcomed the runners, who registered and warmed up before the start of the race. One lucky young "runner" was pushed along by his mom in a stroller, but the others kept up their own brisk pace through the Village paths just beginning to display fall colors. All of those who ran as a part of the Special Olympics team, have raced in other venues, and some on the team were even former gold medalists.
At the race's conclusion, door prizes were awarded, as well as medals, and refreshments were enjoyed by the participants. Watch the start of the race on YouTube, and view photos of the race on Antiochian Village's News page.

On the weekend of September 17-19th, 2010, His Eminence Metropolitan Philip consecrated St. John Chrysostom Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana. St. John Chrysostom was founded by His Eminence in 1978 as a Pan-Orthodox Mission in northeast Indiana. After over 30 years of growth in the Fort Wayne community, the parish erected a new church complex with a grand worship space, classroom education facilities and a large family room area for fellowship of the Orthodox Community. The new church's altar was consecrated on September 19th by Metropolitan Philip, with Archdeacon Hans Elhayek; parish priest Fr. Anthony Michaels; Fr. Nabil Hanna, dean of the Indiana deanery; Fr. George Smith, priest in residence; Fr. Joseph Rahall, founding priest of the mission; and clergy friends from around the Midwest.

WASHINGTON—Representatives of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches have issued two new documents outlining immediate steps they can take to overcome their thousand-year separation. The North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation finalized these agreed statements when it met at Georgetown University in Washington, September 30 to October 2. The Consultation is co-chaired by Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond of New Orleans and Metropolitan Maximos of Pittsburgh.
The first statement, "Steps Towards a Reunited Church: A Sketch of an Orthodox-Catholic Vision for the Future," is an unprecedented effort to begin to visualize the shape of a reunited Catholic and Orthodox Church that would result from the reestablishment of full communion. The text acknowledges that the role of the Bishop of Rome in the Church is a central point of disagreement and outlines the history of this divergence between East and West. It goes on to summarize the many elements of the Christian faith and ecclesial life that the two churches share, and emphasizes the urgency of overcoming our divisions.

Julia Ritter, Curator and Librarian for the Antiochian Heritage Museum and Library, reports that the Museum's traveling exhibit was viewed by many at St. Vladimir Seminary's Education Day on Saturday, October 2, in Crestwood N.Y. As the headline exhibitor, the Village's display of icons and rare books fit in well with this year's theme of "Many Cultures, One Faith." Enthusiastic viewers enjoyed browsing the attractive exhibit which was set up in the seminary's beautiful library space. St. Vladimir's website reported on the event here.
Deborah Finley accompanied Curator Ritter; both were able to talk with many visitors and families who appreciated the exhibit, and who were eager to learn more about both Antiochian Village and the unique resources of the Village Museum.
OCCHY Members, ClevelandThe Orthodox Christian Coalition for Healthy Youth (OCCHY) has launched a website to make their resources more available to parents, youth workers and teens. As the website explains, "OCCHY is a national substance abuse prevention network established under the Department of Youth Ministry in the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese. We are an independent, non-profit, national organization of coalitions for healthy youth. We are a network of local Orthodox Communities across the United States dedicated to educating young people and their families to create living environments that are fun, safe and healthy for parents to raise their children.
OCCHY introduces strategies to reduce the devastating effects of drugs on our youth. The national OCCHY leaders developed a platform which offers the Orthodox Church communities an opportunity to heighten awareness of substance abuse issues, bullying, and premarital sex. OCCHY seeks to unite Orthodox Christian Church communities with public and private sector professionals and community advocates with the prospect of creating a healthier environment for our youth. Each coalition offers and promotes some aspect of substance abuse solutions, healthy sexuality and righteous living through awareness, education, and mentoring and prevention tactics."
St. Vladimir of Kiev[YONKERS, NY/SVOTS COMMUNICATIONS] The relics of St. Vladimir of Kiev, the pagan grand prince who converted to Christianity in AD 988 and then proceeded to baptize all of Kievan Rus', will be in the Three Hierarchs Chapel of St. Vladimir's Seminary, Yonkers, NY, for public veneration from Saturday, November 13 through Sunday, November 14. A separate day for veneration by alumni/ae of the school and special guests will be set aside Friday, November 12.
"We are deeply honored to receive these relics of the patron saint of our school," said Archpriest Chad Hatfield, Chancellor and CEO of St. Vladimir's Seminary. "During this extraordinary occasion, we anticipate welcoming thousands of pilgrims to our campus."
This will be the only opportunity in the United States for the Orthodox Christian faithful to venerate the relics, since St. Vladimir's Seminary is the only location in the country that will be privileged to receive them. Throughout the fall, the relics have been venerated by thousands of Orthodox Christian believers in Canada.
Please check the seminary's Website, under "Upcoming Events" regarding the details and schedule of services as this special weekend in November draws near.

Fr. Chad Hatfield and Fr. Lucas Rice of St. Vladimir's Seminary, at the Festival of Preachers 2010PRESS RELEASE: Oct. 1, 2010
The Preachers Institute, the world's premier Orthodox Christian homiletics resource, has become a national partner with the Academy of Preachers.
The Academy of Preachers is an ecumenical initiative launched through a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment and energized by the conviction that Gospel preaching is a vocation of public and social significance, a calling worthy of the very best and brightest young people.
"In our mission to promote and advance superior preaching in the Orthodox Church, we are very happy to make this partnership with the Academy. We are very hopeful that this will provide an opportunity for more Orthodox youth and young adults to hone their preaching skills with confidence, and ignite their desire to spread the Gospel," said Fr. John A. Peck, director of the Preachers Institute.
Both groups are driven by a strong conviction that Gospel preaching is a vocation of enormous social significance.
"Our mission is to identify, network, support and inspire young people in their call to gospel preaching. You are the first Orthodox entity to become a partner; I hope not the last. I am eager for you to come to Louisville with your Orthodox preachers," said Dwight A. Moody, founder and president of the Academy of Preachers.
Last year, the Academy of Preachers hosted the first ever festival of young preachers. 92 young preachers from 41 institutions in 21 states came to Louisville, KY and preached about Jesus. Included in the gathering were Catholic, Evangelical, Pentecostal, and Protestant preachers. It may be the most ecumenical initiative in American Christianity today. There was one Orthodox participant.
Alexei D. Krindatch, Research Consultant for both SCOBA and the Hartford Institute for Religion Research, has announced that the results of a 2010 Census of American Orthodox Christian Churches are available. The report is based on data obtained from parishes, monastic communities and from many self-described lay members of any Orthodox jurisdiction; research was conducted under the auspices of SCOBA.
Krindatch also authored the well known groundbreaking study and report about American Orthodoxy released in 2008, titled, The Orthodox Church Today.

Dear Pastors and Church School Directors,
Ten years ago we surveyed our Church Schools to learn their needs, and the numbers of students and teachers we serve. Once again we are asking for a few minutes of your time so that we may determine the usefulness of the programs we offer, your needs, and the numbers we serve. We need only one survey per parish, preferably completed by the Church School Director, but in his or her absence, by the parish priest.
Click here to take the survey now!
The survey results will be made known through our website, and also in our newsletters in The Word. I would like to call your attention to our newest endeavor, namely, a listserv, so that we can offer news updates via email. Thank you, as always, for your efforts in the Orthodox Christian Education of our children.
Your servant in Christ,Carole A. Buleza, Director, Department of Christian Education

Wouldn't think a simple cleaner cloth could work so well. I had given up on a pair of abused dirt bike goggle lenses but thought I'd give Cycle Wipes a shot at them before they got tossed and BAM!...well, not good as new but who'd expect that? They did however managed to get my goggles cleaner than any other previous spray and wipe glass cleaner I'd used and the lenses escaped a trip to the t-can. Just have a dry cloth to buff once done. Now I take them with me for glasses, helmets or even the, 'had the chicken empanizado and few margaritas last night and am in the middle of back-country anywhere on my dirtbike with a toolkit void of anything soft to the touch and I gotta go' occasion. Does the trick.

Dodgers looking to even series against Cardinals
Kershaw set to face Wacha in rematch between starters for Game 2
ST. LOUIS -- The scouting report on the 2013 National League Championship Series probably should have included the phrase "expect the unexpected."
The scene shifts from sunny SoCal back to the banks of the mighty Mississippi for Game 6 on Friday at 8:30 p.m. ET on TBS.
The St. Louis Cardinals have a 3-2 series lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers, which should not be shocking in any elemental sense. But the way the teams reached this point has been full of twists and turns and surprises of varying sizes.
The Dodgers, at the doorstep of postseason elimination, earned themselves another chance on Wednesday with a 6-4 victory at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers, hitting four home runs in that game, believe that they have turned the corner offensively and generated considerable momentum in the process. But the Cardinals still own the series lead and the remainder of this series is scheduled for Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals will be home, where they happily went 54-27 during the regular season for baseball's second-best home record.
The Cardinals are carrying some historical baggage at this juncture. They had a 3-1 lead in the 2012 NLCS, but lost three straight to the Giants, being outscored 20-1 in the process.
The Cardinals are convinced that this time will have little to do with that time.
"We're not going to San Francisco, we're going home, so I think that's a big plus," third baseman David Freese said.
The final two games of last year's NLCS were played in San Francisco. Plus, the last two St. Louis starters were Chris Carpenter, who was not physically right, and Kyle Lohse, who appeared to be worn down.
This series, one, or possibly two, spectacular pitching matchups are still on tap. Game 6 will feature Michael Wacha, the phenomenon of this postseason, against the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw, who will likely receive his second Cy Young Award.
If the Dodgers prevail and a Game 7 becomes necessary, the Cardinals will go with their ace, Adam Wainwright, who lost a decision in a well-pitched performance in Game 3, but who sports a 1.57 ERA for three starts in this postseason. Lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu, who worked seven shutout innings in that game, would work the finale for the Dodgers.
In any case, the outlook is for a compelling ending to a series that just one game ago appeared to be close to a done deal, when the Cardinals held a 3-1 lead.
"We know they're not going to give up, they're going to fight until the end just like we are," said Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who homered twice in Game 5. "This series is still getting started. We like where we're at, and it's going to be a fun one.
"They were up 3-1 last year and they lost it. We're looking to do the same thing that happened last year. We could easily be up 3-2. But with Kersh and then Ryu going the next two games, we like where we're at."
On the flip side, Wacha, asked if he lived for a moment like starting Game 6 of a Championship Series, responded:
"Obviously. Every player on this team does. This is a fun time of the season. It's going to be fun for sure."
And the Busch Stadium edge also appealed to Wacha.
"It's huge having home-field advantage," he said on Thursday. "It's great playing back here in front of these great fans. I feel like it will be fun. It was a lot more fun pitching at home than it was pitching in Pittsburgh [in the Division Series] that's for sure. I'm really looking forward to the big crowd out there and the energy around the ballpark."
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly had a wide-ranging take on his club's new-found popularity.
"I think if you look at it now we've kind of become America's team because everyone wants to see a seventh game," Mattingly said. "Probably even the fans in St. Louis would like to see a seventh game, so I figure that everybody's for us to win on Friday night. So obviously it's a pretty good feeling with Clayton pitching on Friday."
It is not clear whether that stuff about people in St. Louis wanting a seventh game has been scientifically tested. What we do know about this series is that conventional wisdom was defied when the Dodgers lost the first two games with their best pitchers, Zack Greinke and Kershaw.
Then again, the Cardinals weren't supposed to lose with Wainwright in Game 3. The Redbirds were clearly on the verge of complete triumph after Game 4, but then the Dodgers were revived with a big-time performance in Game 5.
The plot has twisted, the storyline has shifted, but now, a compelling conclusion beckons.
