Liturgical Ministries
Lectors proclaim the Word of God to the gathered community. Through preparation and study of scripture, lectors help facilitate "active listening" to the Word. Training takes place at the beginning of each semester.
Lay ministers help with the distribution of Holy Communion at Mass. All "EMs" are commissioned for service to the UD community for the duration of their studies here. A short training session is held at the beginning of each semester.
Training for Lectors/Readers and Eucharistic Ministers
- January 25, around 10pm (after the 9pm Mass) in McGinnis Center
- Or by appointment
Mass Coordinators (MCs) facilitate the prayer of the community by scheduling, coordinating, recruiting, and mentoring liturgical ministers. They assist with preparing the needed materials, books, and supplies for liturgy. They grow in their own spirituality through weekly preparation sessions and faith-sharing. This is an ideal role for students who have been active liturgical ministers in their parishes and high schools. If interested in learning more about becoming an MC, please contact Amanda Stewart.
Servers assist the presider, bearing candles and the cross in procession, and fulfilling other roles in the liturgy.
Training by appointment until Fall 2015.
UD celebrates at least one Mass in Spanish each semester or more and incorporates the Spanish language into other Masses on special occasions. Therefore, native Spanish speakers (or students with a strong interest or fluency in Spanish) are needed to prepare and minister at these Masses. Please contact Kathy Sales or Amanda Stewart.
Singers and instrumentalists lead the sung prayer of the assembly at our campus liturgies. UD's UnderGraduate Music Ministry (UGMM) program prepares students for leadership roles in music ministry. Visit our Music Ministry page for more information about UD Music Ministry, or contact the Campus Minister for Liturgical Music at 937.229.2052.

Strange Little Things That Helped You
Are there any tips or things you tried that you thought were really weird but somehow helped your strokes? If so, what?
I have one, today I noticed that when Safin hits a backhand he juts his left elbow out like he's trying to elbow someone behind his back. You can see it in this clip
So just for kicks I tried it out and noticed I was hitting my backhand a lot cleaner and harder.
Feel free to comment or share something weird you found :)
Whenever I get myself in a funk (I usually get myself into a funk for a week or two where I'm just not hitting well), and it's usually because I'm not moving my feet. I'd like to do this:
Put keys or coins in my non-ball pocket during warm-ups, so if I hear the jingles, I know I'm moving my feet. If I'm not hearing the jingles, it reminds me to move them feet.
I exhale like Roddick.
Positive attitude, confidence in my shots, and willing to miss a few to tune in later. Works wonders for a whole match.
My forehand is pretty streaky. It is a modern, open stance SW with a finish around my upper left arm, topspin for control, but mostly pretty flat. It is probably my most technically correct stroke, and I absolutely need it to win a game. It is very good at my level when it is on, but can go off for a few points. If it goes off....I prepare early and point at my contact point with my left hand (righty) as I am getting set up, racquet back, start my loop, etc... I don't move that pointing arm until I start my swing to contact. This usually irons it out.
During the pre-match warm-up, I will hit several groundtrokes by hitting the ball way out in front of me, more so than I would in the match. Really helps me get off to a good start on my groundies.
Sometimes in warm up, I will pactice some serves standing about one foot inside the baseline and try to not fault. I think it forces me to get more arc or spin on the ball to get the ball in the serve box in a shorter distance. I think it helps to prevent long faults, my nemesis, when doing proper serves.
When she does this she ends up with deep serves with a lot more spin.
Focusing on getting my left shoulder pointed at the incoming ball on FHs. Makes sure I have a complete unit turn and don't need to muscle the ball.
I stopped imbibing heavily before matches. Man I play a lot better now.
Just before I hit a ball, I imagine "lines" of how I am going to hit the ball with my racket. It's hard to describe, but for say a slice, the lines go from low to high across the ball if you get what I mean. That and visualizing hitting the ball, it may sound strange but it helped.
I try to make sure that I drop my left shoulder when I serve. That seems to help to pull the ball down into the court.
My hitting coach tells me to watch the ball with my back foot.
I warm up with non-dominant hand. Then, once match begins, I switch. Psyches them all out. Never fails.
I've been working on moving my feet while hitting. When hitting a forehand, I'll either: (1) hit closed stance and hop approximately 180 degrees; (2) hit open stance and pivot on the ball of my outside foot while hitting; or (3) hit closed stance but allow my back leg to swing forward as I hit, so I end up in an open stance at the conclusion of the shot. On my one-handed backhand, I do #3. I incorporated these movements to help speed my recovery after the shot but they actually have helped my strokes.
When hitting an approach shot, I don't chip and charge, I hit a chip while charging.
Hope that works for you.
For me, the things done during a stroke are incidental to the movement you need to hit the stroke. If it comes, great. If it don't, I still needed to hit the ball.
Just too many little setup steps to ever run thru the shots for me.

I guess since you have the XC, I'd consider the 950 Super Enduro if you plan to do a decent amount of street but want more capabilities off road, or maybe a 690 if you ride solo a lot, and not quite as much street (easier to pick up solo), or even a 500 EXC if you just want an off road bike that is street legal.
I have a 450XC that's tagged but have been having so much fun with my 950 off road that I don't ride it nearly as much as I used to. Not going to sell it or anything but i have been enjoying my 950 SE a lot. I have friends with the ADV's and they ride them well off road, but there's just something about the SE that makes it more fun to ride it faster/harder off road. Maybe it's just more crash worthy than the bigger bikes. :)

SDG&E shut-off proposal criticized
'07 wildfire wouldn't have been prevented, foes say
A plan by San Diego Gas & Electric to cut power to rural areas would not have prevented the Witch Creek fire that raged through parts of Ramona in 2007, but it would have hampered evacuation plans, critics told state regulators yesterday.
In a meeting called by the Public Utilities Commission, opponents of the plan said it would increase risks to everyone but the power company.
SDG&E officials countered that the plan — which would leave up to 150,000 people without power during dry, windy weather — is needed to prevent disasters.
"We want to do what we can to prevent fires," Michael Niggli, SDG&E's chief operating officer, told PUC members Timothy Simon and Dian Grueneich during yesterday's meeting in San Francisco.
Niggli said that other steps SDG&E is taking would have prevented its lines from sparking the Witch Creek fire, and that power cutoffs would have forestalled the Guejito and Rice Canyon wildfires that blazed through North County in 2007.
The company wants the commission to approve its proposal to cut power to parts of the county, and change the rules spelling out its legal liabilities for doing so, by Sept. 1.
A preliminary decision is expected within two weeks.
Last month, the company settled lawsuits with insurance companies by agreeing to pay $686 million — partial reimbursement for losses in the three 2007 fires that investigators say were caused by arcing power lines.
SDG&E did not admit fault and still faces lawsuits from hundreds of other people.
Critics say the shut-off plan and proposed rule changes are designed to shield SDG&E from future lawsuits and would not reduce overall fire risks. Electrical lines cause a fraction of wildfires, they said.
Opponents say that without power, telephones, cable television and Internet connections fail, refrigerated food rots, and large water pumps and critical medical devices stop.
Up to 60,000 of SDG&E's 1.4 million customers could lose power during dry, windy weather if the plan were approved.
The shut-offs would be triggered by specific conditions: a red-flag warning from the National Weather Service; moisture at or below 10 percent in twigs and 75 percent or less in live plants; relative humidity at or below 20 percent; and sustained winds over 29 mph, or gusts above 47 mph accompanied by sustained winds over 24 mph.
Niggli said those conditions would likely cause the company to cut power once or twice a year, and only to 10,000 or so customers at a time. Blackouts would last up to 72 hours.
SDG&E is the first California utility to propose cutting power to customers under those conditions.
The company has pledged to work with the Red Cross to set up evacuation centers and would give $250 debit cards to customers with low incomes, disabilities and medical conditions.
It would transport people who rely on electrical life-support equipment to hospitals but said it wouldn't pay their medical bills.
Niggli said everyone — residents as well as schools, water districts and telecommunications companies — should be ready for power outages because they could happen at any time.

Article Summary
It can be extremely frustrating, watching the destruction of our environment and not being able to do a thing about it. Sure, you can give money, write letters and take part in rallies, but... wouldn't you rather be out there on the front lines, where you could physically help save the threatened habitats, animals and cultures? Well, you can. In fact, you've been able to for the past 39 years. Next year, the US-based Earthwatch Institute will celebrate 40 years of giving people the chance to volunteer on environmental research projects all over the world.

Bumped up to 4.0 for the 3rd time...

Winning is nice, but if all you do is constantly win at 3.5, then you're a 4.0 player. It's as simple as that. Nothing is worse than knowing a player should be in a higher tier than the level that they're at, but for some reason they're ranked lower due to an appeal, loophole, or in this case limited play.
My suggestion, if you were amazing at 3.5 doubles and really good at 3.5 singles and got bumped to 4.0 but are losing your *** at 4.0 singles against the faster/younger guys, then play more 4.0 doubles and win there. If your older, the higher the ranking you go, the better sometimes it is to have a partner if mobility or a slight weakness is in your game. Find a strong 4.0 partner and play some competitive 4.0 tennis instead of wanting to stay at 3.5 just so you can win and make sectionals all the time.

Testing times ahead with IDS acquisition.
FAST-growing biotech company IDS has bought a Finnish company which will help complete its range of diagnostic testing products.
IDS, based in Boldon, South Tyneside, with sales of around pounds 4.3m, is now the owner of Suomen Bioanalytiikka Oy (SBA Sciences) of Oulu, Finland, which turns over around pounds 500,000.
SBA makes a series of products which IDS already sells in the US market through its subsidiary IDS Inc in Arizona.
The Finnish company's range includes a family of products that has proved popular in the bone research market.
IDS (Immunodiagnostic Systems) has a successful existing range of bone and skeletal "test kit", including market leading vitamin D kits. SBA's `TRACP 5b' products are said to be complementary to those of IDS, and the Boldon business believes it now has a world-beating product range for its market place.
The IDS Holdings plc group now comprises IDS Inc in Arizona, IDS GmbH in Frankfurt, and SBA in Oulu.
Dr Roger Duggan, managing director of IDS, said: "SBA is a very small operation and they currently outsource their manufacturing to a German company. We have got to transfer their manufacturing to the UK which should secure, if not create, some jobs. We have been distributing their products in the US for 18 months.
"We are excited about the acquisition of the bone TRACP 5b assays, as these represent excellent products to sell alongside our existing `Bone & Skeletal' range of products.
"In the markets where bone TRACP 5b has been professionally marketed such as the USA and Germany, it has seen a rapid and sustained growth in uptake by researchers and clinical triallists.
"We believe there is the opportunity to accelerate sales throughout Germany and the USA, to extend this success to the other major European and Asian markets, applying our marketing expertise to penetrate these potentially lucrative markets."
SBA OY will remain operational in Finland as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IDS where research and development and new product development will continue.
IDS will supply the TRACP 5b products direct from its UK headquarters with immediate effect, and will begin manufacturing them in-house as soon as possible ( creating a handful of new jobs to add to the existing 50 strong workforce.
IDS floated on the Alternative Investment Market just before Christmas 2004. It has plans to grow, with a subsidiary in France expected to be established later this year.

This is one of our favorite variations. - QueenSashy
Serves 6
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, shredded or cut into a fine slaw
- 4 tablespoons Zante currants
- 5 tablespoons pine nuts
- 4 ounces parmesan, grated
- Juice of one lemon
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Place the pine nuts into a small skillet and toast over medium heat. Shake the skillet frequently -- pine nuts are rich in oils and can burn easily. When the pine nuts are golden and fragrant take the pan off the heat and transfer the pine nuts to a plate to cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified.

I'm and 18 years old and have been having sex for a year and been on the pill for about a year. I take my birth control like a ritual at the same time every day (the combination pill). Sometime my boyfriend and I don't use a condom in the beginning to get him hard then we always put one on. My question is, when on the pill do you absolutely have to use condoms? They say that every time you have sex you NEED to use a condom. I know it is the most effective way, but I thought that the one of the points of the pill is so you don't need to use a condom.
My boyfriend (20) and I (19) have been together for three years. We really do love each other and so we decided to have sex about two years into our relationship. First things were great, but a few months after we had been having sex regularly he changed his mind. He said he liked me better when I was innocent and that he hated what we did. He stopped all those cute romantic things like telling me I was pretty and writing me love notes. No matter how hard I try, I can't get him interested in me again. He used to tell me he was going to marry me and we always talked about the future and everything but now he just says he doesn't know what the future will be. Obviously, had I thought this would happen we wouldn't have had sex in the first place but since I'm stupid... we did. What do I do? To call it quits after three years is just too much for me to handle... but I can't live like this anymore. HELP!
Is it consider sexual harassment if some guy fingered my vagina, but I didn't want him to...I'm now 17 and this happened when I was 13, I haven't told anyone about this...I wanna know if it's my fault that this happened. We were on a bus and this guy undid my pants and fingered me. I didn't want it to happen, but I was too scared to stop him. Is it my fault? I mean, when he tried to kiss me I did sort of slide away. Is this my fault?
Me and my boyfriend have been dating for about a year now. I am 16 and he is 18. We live in Egypt. In the first 2 months I used to ask him embarrassing questions about sex - I thought it would break the ice between us. He used to say that he does not want things to go too far, at least not for now. I kept asking those those questions, feeling pushy, but he started asking me if it was okay if he touches me and so on...I said that it was okay. From the 4th month and till now we have been having regular anal sex - as he wants me to stay a virgin - yesterday he said that he does not want to do any more sexual activities with me. He said that he still loves me and that we are still together and that he does not want any other girl but he said that I was too easy - I know that I was easy but it was only because I truly love him - Did I do anything wrong?!?
This is one of a long line of common phrases in sex education and sexuality messaging people, including people I think of us allies, use that I deeply dislike, like "preventing teen pregnancy." Let me explain why, working backwards.
That's usually followed by "then you should have sex using safer sex and contraception." Or -- and usually addressing both those things -- "then you should at least be responsible."
In some respect, that's fine. Now, not everyone needs contraception, either because they don't have a partner with a radically different reproductive system than them or they're not having the kinds of sex that can create a pregnancy, so that doesn't always make sense. But for people choosing to have any kind of sex, we're 100% on board with the sentiment that all of us -- no matter our age -- should be engaging in sexual practices supportive of safeguarding everyone's best health, and in alignment with whether we do or don't wantRead more...
I'm going to keep this short and sweet. (Well, short for me anyway.)
Why are so many of you kickass, take-charge gals leaving the buying, having and using of condoms only up to the men? I gotta tell you, it confounds my mind.Read more...

Swee av foxxxy.
All of their albums are different and great in their own ways
Don't hate on Octahedron. Since We've Been Wrong is a better song than any of you will ever come close to writing or composing.
And Noctourniquet...what else can I say? This album is just brilliant and a masterpiece.
Magnum Opus
Album Rating: 3.5"Don't hate on Octahedron. Since We've Been Wrong is a better song than any of you will ever come close to writing or composing."
That sure is a good argument...
Album Rating: 3.5Most TMV songs are
Digging: Sensory Deprivation - Unsound
Xing, DON'T HATE
Album Rating: 3.5I apologize. The logic in that statement is flawless
The Malkin Jewel is a sweet jam on this
Album Rating: 3.5Weird song to release as the first single, but it works in the context of the album
Yeah true but I just love it, so creepy
The first song and Empty Vessels are also hard jams but I don't recall the rest
Album Rating: 3.5A lot of these are fairly hard jams, but I tend to listen to their other records more
I'd say Top 5 are
Empty Vessels
Malkin Jewel
Zed & 2 Naughts
Album Rating: 3.5Plenty of the songs are great, but the albums gets dragged down by some of the more obnoxious ones. If it was just an EP of the good songs, I would love this
Album Rating: 3.5There are some awkward moments on here, it seems like Cedric has
kinda lost the ability to write lyrics as crazy as he wants and make
them work without sounding awkward or forced
Honestly that's how I've felt about every TMV album I've listened to Xing, but maybe I should put in more time
Album Rating: 3.5First two records are god tier
Album Rating: 3.5I'd even say first 4
Album Rating: 3.5The other two are a considerable drop in quality but still worthy of 4's
Is the Bedlam in Goliath one of the first four, cos I remembering hating that shit
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off"Weird song to release as the first single, but it works in the context of the album"
Cray cray. It was a spectacular single but doesn't flow with the rest of the album at all. I was
confused when the rest of the album was super electronic.
Album Rating: 3.5Bedlam is indeed one of the first four
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy

If you believe in the power of music, this is one concert you cannot afford to miss. Seventy five singers and dancers, soloists from the West End, and some of UK and Ireland's finest instrumentalists will be in Bangalore in August to give you a concert remember. Dr Sunil Paulraj, a Belfast-based neonatologist who's originally from Bangalore and also the brains behind this magnificent show called Toccata, talks about the upcoming show…
When was the idea of Toccata conceptualised? What led to its formation?
It all began with the Tsunami in India. Two singers paid their way into India to reach out to the victims and support them through music, and the journey began there. With music as the crux, Toccata took shape in the year 2006. It was born with the vision of raising funds for charitable causes around the world through a world-class musical production. Today that vision is lived by a 75-member strong team from different countries and walks of life. Besides their time and talent these singers irrespective of their musical pedigree or accomplishments do not charge a fee and self-fund themselves on all the concert tours. Toccata also has a medical wing that supports the work of hospitals with donation of equipment.
Given that this is a fundraiser, what are some of the causes you support, apart from the two current ones?
Toccata has donated around £1.2million worth of medical equipment to various hospitals in Asia and Africa. As a rule we identify different causes and charities every year. To name a few - Kasisi foundation, McDonald's children's home, Little Sisters of the Poor, MM Foundation, The Ministry of health in Kenya, etc. We would like to take this initiative to wider regions irrespective of race or religion.
Art and music have always been popular methods to raise funds - in India, and abroad. However, what are some of the challenges you face behind the scenes? Do you raise enough money in India?
Fundraisers are never easy, more so if you are travelling with large teams into international terrains. Connecting with local sponsors on the first instance is always a challenge. The music and the talent pool our production brings together have worked to our advantage. It connects with people. We have had our share of hiccups, but have been received very well. The challenges are almost similar in any country we visit. We keep innovating ways of delivering value for the sponsors' money. The response has been encouraging. India is slowly but surely getting sensitised to the fund raising initiatives. Like in all other places it is one of the toughest battles we fight, but do get associated with a few good brands. Our last few concerts in the country have raised sufficient money; we are hoping this one will too.
You have performed in Bangalore before, what kind of feedback have you received?
It is not just because it is home, that I keep returning to the city with my production, it is because we have been received so warmly and appreciated so deeply. The love we have received through e-mails, social networking sites and press only makes us work harder to out-do expectations every time we return. It is wonderful to be back to India and Bangalore to perform for the people who love us.
Could you give us a sneak peek into what we can expect from the shows?
The songs we have chosen to perform are all iconic pieces from great performers like Elton John, Billy Joel, The Eagles, Neil Diamond, Ralph Mactell, and Queen, etc. We all grew up with them. When we sing a song we add our signature to it. We are doing two different shows, one called the Musical Express featuring the best songs from the great musicals and another called Nostalgia taking you on a retro journey with great hits from the 70s 80s and 90s. This will definitely be a show Bangalore will remember.

Each department was challenged to build programs and curricula focused on global citizenship and cultural understanding, ethical leadership and civic engagement. In addition, professionals in the Division were encouraged to develop a culture of evidence, where decisions are based on assessment data and planning revolves around measurable student learning outcomes. In this publication, you will find an update on our progress related to the four strategic priorities. The data clearly reinforce our Division's commitment to creating a learning environment outside the classroom, where students thrive academically and socially. At the heart of our mission to create this environment is a focus on retention. Students involved in various programs throughout the Division of Student Affairs stay in school and persist toward graduation at higher rates than those who are not involved. And, those students who take advantage of the programs and services offered in Student Affairs acknowledge the benefit to their successful transition to college life. We continue to strive toward a holistic learning environment where students seamlessly transfer knowledge from inside the classroom to real life situations outside of class. This vision is possible because of our faculty, staff, alumni and donors who make the UA student experience a top priority. Working together, the possibilities are endless!

I have some pictures, but they honestly don't capture how awesomely "European" I felt walking down those winding, cobblestone streets in the rainy, overcast weather in search of the building whose spire we spotted from a few streets away.

BP's public relations gaffes causing British companies problems in the U.S.
by AccountingWEB on printer friendly
William Chase, founder of UK-based potato chip company Tyrrell's Crisps, claims that the lives of British businesses trying to succeed in the United States are being made harder because of BP chief executive Tony Hayward's handling the oil spill crisis.
Chase, who founded Tyrrell's Crisps and sold it six years later, said Hayward is "far too smug" shown by the fact he left the U.S. to watch his boat sail in the 'Round the Isle of Wight' yacht race, despite continuing efforts to clean-up the major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
"[Hayward has] made PR mistake after mistake and the result is that business is five times more difficult in the U.S. than it should be for British brands," said Chase, who now runs Chase Vodka, which was recently voted best vodka in the world at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
"He's an ambassador for the BP brand and my view on the oil-spill crisis is that he should be honest. People know when you're lying and he should talk as if he means what he says. "Winning in San Francisco has really helped to build up the Chase brand's profile, which is vital. Americans love an English brand, but Hayward's antics have made things far more difficult."
Chase added that while the BP CEO, who has been criticized for several verbal gaffes and misjudging the mood in America, needs to take time off, "taking part in a high profile yacht race is totally inappropriate."

XVideo Issues, also, does 1080i/p/780i/p output work?

XVideo Issues, also, does 1080i/p/780i/p output work?
When I use mplayer -vo xv with high def video, for some reason, it jitters fairly often. My CPU usage usually hovers around 60% playing 1280x720 h264 video...so it's not that...
-vo gl -dr and -vo x11 and -vo sdl are all fine.
Does anyone else experience this? It's annoying!
Also, I'm thinking about buying a rear projection HDTV, something 60 inches or bigger. Can the linux nvidia driver output in 1080i/p/720i/p fine? Do I just need to add a modeline and manually add it to the monitor's modes?
Will a DVI to HDMI conversion cable work? It shouldn't lose image quality, it's all digital, right? It won't fall back to a lower resolution either inside the TV due to some DRM or strange security "feature", right?

Analysis: What's the progress of the data center closings?
Wednesday - 7/27/2011, 4:11pm EDT
Your agency's data center consolidation and closure plan should at least be in the works. The Office of Management and Budget has its framework in place, and yesterday the Government Accountability Office put out a report on how agencies can cut the number of data centers. Mark Forman, the first E-gov Administrator at OMB, shares his thoughts on the progress of the data center consolidation and closings.
