Starving sea lion pups fill Calif. rescue centers
LOS ANGELES Hundreds of starving sea lion pups are washing up on beaches from San Diego to Santa Barbara, overwhelming rescue centers and leaving scientists scrambling to figure out why.
At island rookeries off the Southern California coast, 45 percent of the pups born in June have died, said Sharon Melin, a wildlife biologist for the National Marine Fisheries Service based in Seattle. Normally, less than one-third of the pups would die.
It's gotten so bad in the past two weeks that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared an "unusual mortality event." That will allow more scientists to join the search for the cause, Melin said.
Pups are normally weaned from their mothers in April.
Even the pups that are making it are markedly underweight, Melin said.
The most recent pups weighed at the breeding area on San Miguel Island were around 37 pounds, Melin said. They should weigh between 55 and 59 pounds by now, she said.
Melin said she doesn't know how the pups are making it to the mainland, but they must be using currents and swimming.
"That's a long way, and they are very small," she said. "They don't have a lot of fat, and the water is pretty cold. They are often dehydrated, which is typical with emaciation. It puts them in pretty bad condition."
Those landing on the mainland may have been looking for food if their mother stayed out foraging too long, Melin said.
Live sea lion strandings are nearly three times higher than the historical average, said Jim Milbury of the National Marine Fisheries Service, part of NOAA.
Between Jan. 1 and March 24, 948 pups were rescued, Milbury said. The bulk of those were in Los Angeles County, which had 395, followed by San Diego, Orange, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, he said. Last year, only about 100 pups needed saving during the same period.
At the Pacific Marine Mammal Care Center in Laguna Beach, there were 139 animals being cared for Friday. Of those, 131 were sea lion pups, said spokeswoman Melissa Sciacca. She said the center has treated more than 220 sea lion pups so far this year, while the center treated 118 in all of 2012.
Southern California rescue facilities have become so crowded they have had to start sending pups to Northern California, said Jeff Boehm, executive director at The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, which was caring for 30 starving pups.
Scientists were performing tests to determine if the problem is food availability, disease or both.
Biologists knew last spring that this year's supply of anchovies and sardines could be limited, Boehm said.
"These two species of fish are an extremely important part of California sea lions' diets, and females simply may not have been able to nurse their young sufficiently, resulting in abandonment, premature weaning and subsequent strandings," he said.
Besides anchovies and sardines, sea lions also eat squid and other ocean creatures. Routine testing of seafood is being done by state and federal agencies and consumer safety experts are working with NOAA to find the problem.

desk clerk was very friendly and made me feel welcome with a wonderful smile, the check in process was quick and i was on my way to my room in less than 10 minutes, the room was nice with a large king sized bed, room had a mini fridge which was nice. the shower could use a new shower head as the water pressure left alot to be desired. room smelled fresh and was clean. overall for this room is well worth the price. short distance to highways and plenty of choices for food, gas, and drink. will certainly recommend. ...

Not clean inside. Had to leave a day earlier because I had no hot water to take a shower in the morning. I couldn't sleep because of other travelers slamming their doors & playing their TV's loud late at night. Was supposed to have internet, which I didn't.

I would never stay here again. It smells moldy. I stayed in a non smoking room and the room smelled like stale smoke. It was a clean bed and hot shower, but I did not want to walk around on the carpet without my flip flops on!

We had a lovely stay in the Meadow Suite - we had the whole second floor to ourselves and my daughter slept comfortably in the room adjacent to ours. Mark & Hazel are wonderful hosts - the food was delicious, they provided drinks and snacks throughout our stay, answered any questions we had about the area, and Mark took the children on a ride around the property to feed and greet their many farm animals. My daughter loved exploring the farm and the playground too, as well as the books and toys inside the house. A peaceful, beautiful place to stay!

This is our second visit with Hazel and Mark, two very nice people. We really like staying there when visiting "Amish country". They go out of their way to make you feel right at home, and will assist in helping you with your local exploring. We both like animals, and since its a farm, there are critters to see and feed.

We had stayed in this B&B over the summer and enjoyed it so much we returned with friends in October. Great place for families or couples wanting a nice relaxing night away from it all. Beautiful scenery and outdoor hot tub!

We stayed at Airy Hill for two night and it was great. Beautiful house, farm and great food. I loved the scones and strawberry freezer jam. It was nice getting to know Mark and Hazel as well as the other guest. Loved it so much we are planning on going back soon!

We had such a great time on the farm. The second we walked up to the door we felt at home. The food was delicious! My kids, ages 5 and 2.5, had such a great time helping with the animals. They also just loved running around the property. We are going to try and go back next year!

The stay at Airy Hill Farm B&B is the most relaxing and refreshing places to stay on the planet! The owners and caregivers are personable, accommodating and just plain pleasant to be around. The accomodations were beautiful and made you feel at home. I would rate my stay as an Outstanding 5 rating!

This was a comfortable and clean place with friendly hosts. There is a nice common area and a lot of space outside to walk and explore. It is quiet and cozy. And it is conveniently near Amish country. I wish we could have stayed longer.

This is our family's fourth trip to Airy Hill Farm. As we plan the summer, our grandchildren always want to know how many days we can stay at Airy Hill this year. Hazel and Mark are such warm hosts. The accommodations are great and the breakfast is always superb. We always meet other interesting families staying there.It is a wonderful oasis in the country.

Our family of five stayed at Airy Hill B&B for a stay-cation. We spent one night at this local farm and fell in love with everything! Our girls loved the garden room with the special tree house bunk bed. We loved picking wild raspberries together as a family. We loved visiting all the animals in the morning and helping to gather eggs, feed the sheep, pet the bunny, walk the alpacas and the mini-horses! The breakfast was DELICIOUS and prepared with fresh ingredients. And of course we loved Hazel and Mark, as they welcomed us into their home with warm smiles and great conversation.

This is a very clean contemporary house. The food is very good, and the owners are generous with constantly available tea, coffee, snacks sodas etc. They are also ready and willing to set you up with amish folks in the area for an authentic experience. (We did not have time to partake.) The defining attraction would be the small farming operation that is on the property. For all intensive purposes it is an alpaca, goat/sheep/pony petting zoo. This would be a great place for families, etc for that purpose.

I don't agree. This must be a man thing.
To me it truly is all about how well I've played. If I've played my heart out and still don't win, what else could I have done? Nothing. Some people are just at a higher level of tennis than I am. There's always somebody who can beat you.
For me it's about maximizing my own performance, getting in the zone, trying to stay there, to keep improving, to learn something new each time I step on the court, to hone the skills I already mostly have down, maybe use them in new ways to stretch them a little. Each opponent and each day brings something new.
I suppose you could say that I am playing against MYSELF in tennis. The opponent is simply the thing I am reacting to. All the performance comes from within me. So this is why I can't agree with the quote above.
Tennis is a freaking AWESOME sport that perfectly captures the blend of the physical and the mental in its challenges, and I can't imagine ever not playing. I will have to be crippled by extreme old age or great misfortune before they can drag me off the court. Even then I might have to check out wheelchair tennis if applicable.

Marines killed in training were young, lives ahead
Woods, 66, was wounded twice in Vietnam and spent time in a U.S. Navy hospital in Guam. Surrounded by curved glass walls etched with the names of the fallen, Woods said it mattered not whether these Marines died in an accident here at home or on a distant battlefield.
"They put that uniform on, they gain the same respect as anybody that's been to war," the grizzled 20-year veteran said over the sound of the dancing water in the memorial's fountain. "That's the way I personally look at it myself. I still respect them, and I sympathize with them for what happened."
The seven Marines killed ranged in age from 19 to 26. Some had served overseas; others were training for their first deployment. They were in the final night of a training exercise spread out of several days in California and Nevada when the accident occurred.
While many had long dreamed of being Marines, some were already making plans for a life after the Corps.
Twenty-six-year-old Aaron Ripperda of Highland, Ill., joined the service after graduating from a St. Louis culinary school and finding the job market flat. His father tried to gently dissuade him.
"He told us he always felt like he had a calling to join the Marines," Kent Ripperda told The Associated Press from his home in Marine, Ill. "I guess maybe it was a prestige thing."
He enlisted in 2008, did a tour in Afghanistan in 2011 and was just a couple months from finishing his stint in the Marines. He was looking forward to returning home and attending Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville this fall, his father said.
Kent Ripperda said his son was eager to go back to college and "get on with his life."
Roger Muchnick, 23, who grew up in Westport, Conn., had already pulled one tour in Afghanistan and was thinking about returning to college after his enlistment was up, said his grandfather, Jerome Muchnick.
Muchnick played on the football and lacrosse teams at Staples High School and went on to play lacrosse at Eastern Connecticut State University, where he studied business. In a biography on the university's website, Muchnick said the one thing he would like to do before he died was "live," and that his most embarrassing moment was getting caught lip-synching in a school talent show.
"He was a fabulous kid. Just fabulous," his grandfather said. "He was at the top of his game when this happened. ... You can't imagine losing a very handsome, 23-year-old grandson who was vital and loving."
Lance Cpl. William Taylor Wild IV, 21, joined the Marines shortly after graduating in 2010 form Severna Park High School near Annapolis, Md. His mother, Elizabeth Wild, said he was in a weapons platoon that was scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan in November. He already had been deployed twice to Afghanistan and once to Kuwait.
Wild said her son always wanted to go into the military, like his father, who is a command chief in the Air Force Reserve at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

Nearly 6,000 flee after Indonesian volcano erupts
MEDAN, Indonesia — Nearly 6,000 people were evacuated from their villages following the eruption of Mount Sinabung in western Indonesia, an official said Monday.
The 2,600-meter (8,530-feet) volcano in North Sumatra province erupted early Sunday after being dormant for three years, sending thick ash into the sky with small rocks pelting neighboring villages, said National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho. He said almost 6,000 people have been evacuated and were being sheltered in seven locations. No injuries or damage was reported.
Most of the displaced were from six villages within 3 kilometers of the mountain in Karo district, Nugroho said.
Local authorities prepared 2,000 blankets and distributed masks to displaced people. They also have set up a health command post, Nugroho said.
On Monday, gray smoke still billowed from the peak of North Sumatra's tallest volcano, carrying ash eastward. Authorities asked residents to remain alert for other potential eruptions.
Bambang Ervan, spokesman of the Transportation Ministry, said Monday that the eruption delayed six flights at Kualanamu airport in the provincial capital of Medan on Sunday, but operations returned to normal Monday.
Mount Sinabung's last eruption in August 2010 killed two people and forced some 30,000 people to flee. It caught many scientists off guard because they had failed to monitor the volcano, which had remained quiet for four centuries.
There are more than 129 active volcanoes in Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago nation. It is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the so-called "Ring of Fire" — a series of fault lines stretching from the Western Hemisphere through Japan and Southeast Asia.

THEY'RE DEVILS!" cries the Reverend Jack Harvey, whacking his meaty palm against a Bible densely annotated with blue ballpoint scrawlings. "They're wicked! And they're letting them dance around a fire out there!"
"There" is Killeen's Fort Hood, one of the largest military installations in the Western Hemisphere and home to 42,000 troops, and "they" are perhaps one hundred soldiers who proudly proclaim their religious preference as Wicca. Wiccans, who call themselves witches, practice a neo-paganism loosely based on pre-Christian European faiths; this particular sect gathers on the base in the form of the Open Circle of the Sacred Well Congregation, an Army-sanctioned group that counts like-minded worshipers from surrounding Central Texas towns among its members. To get authorization for meetings, the congregation went through the standard procedure for religious organizations, which includes securing a sponsor and adhering to military regulations (the Wiccans are forbidden from attending their gatherings "skyclad"—that is, buck naked—and ceremonial daggers are allowed only if they aren't used to cut anything). Proposed ceremonies are also submitted to a chaplain for review. Wiccan rituals exalt a deity that manifests itself throughout creation, particularly in nature—and, no, it's not Satan. Wiccans tend to exhibit the earnest patience of the perenially misunderstood; mentioning The Blair Witch Project is likely to produce a here-we-go-again rolling of the eyes.
But if Wiccans are quick to tell you what they're not—murderers of children, for instance—it's hard to get a fix on what they are. Aside from their basic credo ("An ye harm none, do what you will") and a few other tenets, there's not much in the way of a canon. If you were to cobble together a religion from every third book on the New Age shelf at Borders, you might wind up with Wicca, which is liberally laced with elements of witchcraft, nature worship, and Celtic and Norse mythology, among other things. Despite this eclecticism—maybe because of it—it's one of the fastest-growing religions in the country, even though witches say they don't actively seek converts.
So what's the problem? Ask Bob Barr. Since reading an account of a Wiccan ritual at Fort Hood, the Republican congressman from Georgia—a House manager of the attempt to impeach Bill Clinton—has made it his mission to kick them off government property. "Please stop this nonsense at once," Barr wrote to base commander Lieutenant General Leon LaPorte in May. "What's next? Will armored divisions be forced to travel with sacrificial animals for Satanic rituals? Will Rastafarians demand the inclusion of ritualistic marijuana cigarettes in their rations?" Army higher-ups, however, declined to expel the Wiccans, saying that they are merely extending them the same privileges they do every other religious group. As a result, the matter has become international news, appearing in newspapers across the country, on network television, and even in British tabloids. It has even engaged the attention of Texas governor George W. Bush, whose embrace of faith-based organizations apparently has its limits. "I don't think witchcraft is a religion," the GOP presidential front-runner said on Good Morning America in June. "I would hope the military would take a second look at the decision they made."
Wiccan soldiers are unmoved by such comments, or so a small group of them tells me over Belgian waffles and coffee in the smoking section of Killeen's International House of Pancakes. "There are over fifty years of military experience represented at this table," says David Oringderff, a fifty-year-old psychologist and retired Army major. "I think we know something about good order and military discipline." With his aquiline nose, protuberant blue eyes, and gingery mustache, Oringderff looks like he could have been a colonial officer in the British raj, but his gravelly twang leaves no doubt as to the country he served. "We'd be happy to compare our military records to Bob Barr's," he continues, smiling wryly, "but we can't. He doesn't have one."
Although the Army has done a good job of protecting the rights of some oppressed minorities (say, black soldiers), those of others (gays and lesbians) have been handled poorly, or at least clumsily. But Oringderff and his fellow Wiccans have confidence in the military's stated policy of nondiscrimination—and in its willingness to back it up. In their view, they're doing nothing more than exercising the constitutional rights they're in the business of defending. "People think of soldiers as mindless robots who kill," he notes, "but there's actually more tolerance of diversity in the Army than in civilian life."
Too much, says Jack Harvey. As the founder of Tabernacle Independent Baptist Church and School, a windowless steel-framed structure set down in the bleak scrub just outside Killeen, the 56-year-old preaches to a fundamentalist congregation of about 130 members. He also leads an ongoing crusade against the presence of witches at Fort Hood, and as a result has been the subject of international media coverage of a sort usually unavailable to small-town clergy—not many of his colleagues have been quoted, as he has been, in London's Daily Mail. The burly pastor has ushered me past a rack of religious and instructional pamphlets ("How Whipping Children Keeps Them Out of Hell!") to his tiny upstairs office, where a single fluorescent lamp buzzes dimly.
"I don't judge these people; my Book does," Harvey says, quoting Exodus 22:18: "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." Among the many accusations he makes against the Wiccans are that they kidnap and kill (and possibly eat) small children, that they're possessed by demons, that they're pacifists, and that they have conducted their witchy business from on-base telephone numbers without proper authorization. His distress rises to the same pitch no matter what the offense in question, creating the impression that he is equally horrified by ritual infant sacrifice and violations of military phone protocol. But his message is plain, at least when it comes to what he says is the Bible's prescribed punishment for unrepentant witches: "They should be warned, and then if they come out in the open with their evil, they should be

I heard this song on my alt. rock radio station today. Perhaps it was the melody, or the vocals, but I was transported back to the '80s. I would have closed my eyes and relished the moment, but I was driving in my car. Some people think the song sounds like something from U2, or Bob Seger. I'm not sure I agree, but I am comforted by the strangely familiar voice that, ironically, I have never heard before. The band has been criticized for going mainstream, much like No Doubt or Fall Out Boy. However, I know a catchy song when I hear one, and this song has stayed on repeat for about 20 minutes, and I probably won't be able to get it out of my head for the next couple of days.

Del Marquis, the guitarist for the tirelessly glamorous Scissor Sisters, makes a sharp turn to the dark side with "Character Assassination", the title track from his forthcoming EP of the same name. We here at PopMatters are thrilled to be able to present the world premiere of the video for this track.
Over doomily cascading Gary Numan-style synths, Marquis explores the extremely thin line between delight and despair. As for the video, it's as if Nine Inch Nails had Philip K Dick direct a video using only the cover of Peter Gabriel's Shock the Monkey as inspiration. It's moody stuff, but he can't be all gold lamé bikini briefs all the time.
Benbecula is one of the most exciting labels in Scotland.

Our very own Tim O'Neil said of the record: "Every once in a great while, something comes along that knocks you off your socks and restores your faith in the healing power of rock and roll. Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes is just such an album, a dynamically different and radically invigorating shot of intellectual rigor into a moribund retro-rock scene." "Dreams" was the video off this release.

I think Ghostly International described the latest video from 2008's Alpinisms best themselves:
"In School of Seven Bells music, a human element lurks behind a veil of technology and noise; Toby Holbrook's video for the Brooklyn trio's 'Half Asleep' follows suit, depicting real-life twin vocalists Alejandra and Claudia Deheza as earthbound beauties, while complicating their image through sped-up film, gauzy overlays, and brightly colored, weather-like disturbances. The clip conjures a sad, surreal feeling that sticks with you long after the images fade."

Superga Cotu Classic Tennis Sneakers 30 30
Disappointment These are adorable shoes. Got them in gray and love the way they look. However, once I wore them I got blisters along the outside of my feet, near the pinky toes. This seems strange because the shoes overall seem to be big. Wish I'd worn them around the house more first. May 24, 2015
quality shoes but not for me Shoes are good quality, but a tad too big. I wear a 9.5 so ordered 41. May fit better with socks, but that wasn't my plan. They are also a heavy shoe. May 16, 2015
Cute tennies This is the second pair of Superga sneakers that I have purchased. They are cute and pretty comfortable. I am contemplating putting some orthotic type insoles into my new pair, both for cush and support. These are great for bopping about, but for any long term on your feet, I think they need a bit more support (I do have bad feet so am a bit more picky than your average) Overall, they are well made and cute/fun sneakers! May 13, 2015
Ideal casual shoe I love these shoes, this purchase is my second pair (this time in gray). I did have to send them back for an exchange as the rubber on one of the toes wasn't right. Great shoes though, perfect for summer! May 9, 2015
Nice!! Very nice looking and very nice quality. Not as comfortable as I would have hoped, but all things considered I am enjoying the two pair I purchased. May 8, 2015
Traditional comfy sneaker Very comfortable, run a tad large and wide. Great arch support. Very polished sneaker. Makes a casual outfit look more put together. Love them. April 17, 2015

US Airways lands $11 billion merger with American
The union leaders say employees will have more job security at a larger airline that's better able to compete with United and Delta. Their support of a merger was critical because the unions held three of the nine seats on the committee of AMR's bankruptcy creditors.
A lawyer who advised that committee, Jay Goffman of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, said the influential committee became convinced that a merger would produce an airline that could boost revenue faster than American by itself. "And frankly, the fact that the unions were fully supportive of a merger made a big difference," Goffman said.
Over the past year, Parker and AMR CEO Tom Horton were adversaries who had wildly different strategies for their companies. Parker raided Horton's turf to enlist American's labor unions in his campaign for a merger. Horton seemed more aloof, preferring that American remain on its own. As the airlines held private discussions during the fall and into winter, speculation centered on which man would end up running the company if there were a merger.
Those differences were set aside Thursday when the men stood before TV cameras for a news conference at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. A backdrop was splashed with the logos of both airlines. Parker and Horton traded banter about each other's looks and about working at adjoining cubicles at American 25 years ago.
Horton called Parker "my good, longtime friend," and Parker said Horton was "the best - he knows this business."
If Horton was disappointed in not getting to run the new American, he didn't admit it.
"I don't think it would be fair to say my goal was to run the biggest and best airline," Horton said. "My goal was to make sure American Airlines is the best airline in the world. And that's exactly what's going to happen here."
Parker said, "This isn't about me or Tom. This is about doing what's best for the combined companies." He said the CEO title was just one of many decisions they had to make. "It's one that I'm very happy with, one that Tom has told you he's happy with," Parker said. He thanked Horton for agreeing "to hang around and help me with that transition."
"Well, best of luck," Horton interjected, as employees of both airlines laughed.
The deal needs approval by AMR's bankruptcy judge, federal antitrust regulators, and US Airways shareholders. Parker, Horton and most analysts predict smooth sailing. Even if they're right, American and US Airways will continue operating as separate airlines for months or even a couple years. Officials promised that frequent-flier programs would continue untouched.
The merger follows Delta's acquisition of Northwest in 2008, the United-Continental deal in 2010, and Southwest's purchase of AirTran Airways in 2011. The rapid consolidation has allowed the remaining airlines to lure high-paying business travelers with better route maps. And it has helped them limit the supply of seats, pushing up fares and fees.
That concerns some consumer advocates, but Parker argued that competition will increase, not decrease.

CUTTACK: The Baragarh district consumer court's order of imposing a fine on a private hospital for negligence in treatment and "wrong" prescription of medicine to a patient was upheld by the Orissa state consumer disputes redressal commission here. The Baragarh district consumer forum in July 2000 had directed the Mission Hospital at Diptipur of the district to pay Rs 40,000 as damages and Rs 4800 as litigation cost to Padmini Pradhan who permanently lost her right eye for faulty treatment by the doctors of the hospital.
Taking up an appeal filed by the hospital director, the state consumer forum president Justice R K Patra and its member Subash Mahtab observed that there was a clear case of medical negligence on the part of the hospital.

"Why—" Carol paused, reflectively. "They do the plays that other nonprofits are doing."
"Or the ones people like us bring them," said Carl, "along with our enhancement money."
"So," said Theater Present sternly, folding his arms,"Everybody is doing plays that somebody else likes. So much for taste. So much for enterprise."
"Sometimes the nonprofits commission," Carol said defensively.
"And do you commission?" asked Theater Present. He glared at her, a threatening thundercloud.
"Why not find artists you like and hire them to create shows just for you?" asked Theater Past. "It always worked in my time. "And while you're looking for them, why not read a thousand plays from the past and discover for yourself what makes a play great?"
"Why not ponder the life of your time," queried Theater Present. "Look beyond the theater, to the art galleries, the new-music venues, poetry, fiction, politics. You might find great commercial success in connecting audiences to the world around them."
"Risk—excitement—surprise," Yet to Come chimed in. "Without them, profitability, like art, grows stale and dies."
"That's why we've come," announced Theater Past. "Your theater has grown stale, profit and nonprofit sectors alike. It needs an awakening."
"Awakening to what?" Carol asked, wide-eyed.
"To everything," roared Theater Present. "To the magic and truth of the past, to the gravity and wildness of the present, to the early hints of what the future will bring."
"And its economics—your department—need reconfiguring," chirruped Yet to Come. "Too many people can't afford to attend. Where's the profit for you in that?"
"Your revisals wreck the old shows," said Theater Past, "and your new shows feel like revivals. Why not leave the old shows as they are, and hunt for newness in the new?"
"Unplug and go green!" cheeped Yet to Come. "Reconfigure the experience! New modes of theater lie ahead."
"New artists are here, ready for you," shouted Theater Present, expansively.
"And our history," cried Theater Past, "ever rich with treasure, lies in wait for your exploring."
"You must!" they all murmured, coalescing again into a gray pillar of smoke. "You must—"
The smoke flowed over the Commercials and vanished as swiftly as it had come. Somewhere a church clock tolled one.

In honor of the fifth anniversary, the LRO project kicked off the Moon as Art Campaign. The public was asked to select a favorite orbiter image of the moon for the cover of a special image collection. The images in the collection were created using data gathered by LRO over the first 4.5 years of operations. After two weeks of voting, the public has selected

Choosing a financial planner for feds
Friday - 9/2/2011, 10:35am EDT
You probably know it's a good idea to sit down with a financial planner at some point to make sure your money is going to good use. But some of those planners don't care much for the Thrift Savings Plan because it doesn't have mutual funds they can sell you.
Registered employee benefit consultant Ed Zurndorfer joined the Federal Drive with tips for choosing a good financial planner, especially if you're a fed.
Zurndorfer said the first question people looking for financial planners: What do you need?

Q: A) Why is work to be considered as a sacrifice? What exactly are we sacrificing while doing work?
B) Expectation in any corporate is to achieve higher targets in a smarter way. This being so, our mind is preoccupied with analyzing situations, planning for action, execution etc. all towards achieving these surface goals. In this scenario inward focus is in conflict with external demands. How to remain internalized when the external expectation will not let you be!
C) In the corporate world where most of us operate, our work lives are riddled with impossible deadlines, harassing bosses, stifling competition and negative politics. Amidst all this, our energy and effort are focused only on day to day survival amidst the chaos. How do we find and serve Him amidst this suffocating negativity? – K Jaishree
A) Any effort is a sacrifice. No one can be moved to effort unless He wills. Therefore, if we consciously choose to surrender, all that we do as a sacrifice to Him then we have the best chance of attaining Him. It was in this context that I had said all work can be seen as a sacrifice to Him.
B) There is no such clear differentiation as Internal or External. If all activities of the Mind including analysis, planning etc. are all done without distraction and thinking about the outcome with anxiety or doubt, then these also become internal focused actions. It is the Mind working on its own with fears, doubts etc. which cause the external focus. Therefore, when work is seen as a sacrifice, then the work would be done with all analysis, planning etc. but without fear, doubts, anxieties about the outcome thereby paving the way for one to progress more Inward always.
C) Yes, the current period of Earth's existence seem to be in a state of turmoil. This seems to apply whether it is to the corporate world or any other activity. To answer the question - as long as the deadlines are not seen as impossible but attempted with all possible diligence! As long as bosses are seen as human beings with more or as many faults in their character as every other person and therefore not harassing unnecessarily (or if they do choose another boss)! As long as politics is accepted as reality and not negative or positive, one will serve Him in every minute of our existence. What does this mean? This means one does not react too much to the circumstances surrounding one but instead there is a clear acceptance of what is and effort is made not only to change any external circumstances but also progress beyond being affected by circumstances. Then one is serving Him always.
Q: Doing work with calm state of mind and leaving the result to god was truly inspiring but in many situations anxiety over the result spoils the whole game. Sometimes devotion/Meditation to god is even tested to its limits (mostly distrust and vacuum always wins). Is there any other way to maintain calmness? – D Bharani
A: As I have mentioned, it is essential to first work with the Mind to develop dispassion and calmness. Therefore, whenever a disquiet or disturbance arises, one has to move above and identify with the observing part of the Mind and step back by not identifying with the disturbance or distrust. Once this becomes a habit, then there is a greater chance of more calmness arising. Also, food habits and good maintenance of the body helps in achieving better mental equilibrium. Long term, there seems no escape to taming the Mind through the Mind to attain calmness initially by developing concentrated attention and later through other practices like meditation.
Q: People say we are incomplete (imperfect) when compared to god who is complete (perfect) in every aspect. So is it really possible for an incomplete body to understand the complete one? Also, Is it not right to view god as a witness rather than an omnipotent? – Arun Kumar
A: It is correct to assume / understand that when we are Ignorant, we cannot understand the complete whole. However, when we move above the Mental stage, one can get glimpses of the Truth is what all learned ones say. The Mind can also imagine or understand partially the Whole (as even science proves many assumptions made by the Seers of the past through their wisdom). But the ideal solution to understand the perfection is to move above our Mental state and become one with the One.
The second part is a little tricky. When there is none other than that One, then He can be a Witness as also the Omnipotent. In normal practise, when the One agrees to undergo a chosen experience as a separate soul, then we can call Him as the witness, i.e, the soul in each of us. This is because He has willed Himself to undergo an experience or experiences without identifying with His Omnipotence. However, when He identifies (which He can if He so Desires) with His Omnipotence, then He is the Omnipotent.

There have been problems with the climate control system not working at times. Volvo has made a Software upgrade for the AC control module is available that can correct certain climate control system faults.
2007 Volvo XC90 Problem Reports
RepairPal Verified 2007 Volvo XC90 Problem Reports
Oil leaks from the all-wheel drive differential housing have been reported.
Premature automatic transmission failure is common. Diagnoses of the fault will be necessary to determine if repair or replacement is the proper repair.
Many complaints have been reported regarding Volvo XC90 transmission shifting issues. Long shift times between gear shifts, hard shifting, hard downshifting and a loss of transmission operation all together to name a few.
If the issue is minor, a transmission software update may address this issue so if available, the software should be updated before any repairs are made. After a software update or repair, the shift adaptation needs to be reset. A good quality Volvo repair shop will know how to perform this task.
There are several technical service bulletins (TSB's) available from Volvo that address these shifting issues and they should be consulted by the repair shop during the automatic transmission diagnostic process.
Regular servicing of the transmission fluid can help with preventing transmission failure, but not in all cases. Follow the suggested fluid replacement interval recommended by Volvo. You will find this in your owners manual, or find it here: http://bit.ly/Volvo_Owners_Manuals

Southwest County schools lead county, which ranks 3rd in state
Although the district saw a dip in its graduation rate for Hispanic students — from 81.8 percent to 81.5 percent — its dropout rate for that group improved from 13.5 percent to 13.3 percent.
Across the state, 2.9 percent more African-American students (65.7) graduated in four years and 3.1 percent fewer dropped out (22.2).
Likewise, the state's Hispanic students saw better graduation (71.4 to 73.2) and dropout rates (18.3 to 16.2).
At the county level, both demographics saw improvement, too.
The key, state officials say, is passing along good school habits at an early age and fostering a sense of belonging, especially when it comes to minorities.
"The idea is that our students need to feel like they are not disenfranchised, that they are engaged in their communities and schools," David Gomez, president of California School Administrators, said in a teleconference with reporters.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said he was pleased to see another year of improved rates, especially considering the economic climate that schools endured the last five years.
"Despite devastating cuts — round and round of cuts that created a lot of chaos and a lot of budget shortfalls — despite all of this, we've seen our schools focus," Torlakson said. "I'm glad to announce we're moving in the right direction."
Greenberg, too, said he sees brighter days ahead because of both an improving economy and a move toward Common Core state standards that will provide technology-based learning that will further engage students.
The more they are interested in a subject, the more they will want to see their graduation through, Greenberg said.
"It's going to make it all more fun and more relevant to the real world," he said.

Greetings, folks! Welcome to another exciting preview of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," season 7 edition!
Here we give you, dear readers, a sneak peek at what transpires on the next installment of Orange County's best-known (and most-hated?) reality TV series. Episode 11 airs tonight (4/24) at 9 p.m. on Bravo, or earlier if you have satellite TV or Bravo's HD channel. Check your local listings.
In the first sneak scene we've had the pleasure to view, housewife Alexis Bellino pops in on husband Jim, who appears to be working in the home office.
Alexis says, "Hi baby."
Jim: "Hi!"
Alexis: "You got a minute for me?"
Jim: "Of course I do."
Alexis: "So I was just thinking ... well, It's twofold. I love Fox 5. I think I'm doing a great job for how I was thrown into it. But I'm kind of thinking I want to, maybe get a coach. Like, I don't know what they're called, like a training coach…"
Jim: "Like an acting coach?"
Alexis: "Maybe, like yeah."
Alexis, in a one-on-one interview: "It was really kind of shocking to me that Gretchen (Rossi) wasn't more excited about my Fox 5 segments. But I kind of have to agree with her. I think a coach is the best way to go."
Jim: "I don't know where that fits into being a wife, a mother. I mean, where do you think you're going to take this?"
A: "I don't know. I think this is just a stepping ground, a stepping stone for me. It's just going to get me to the next. I picture hosting a show, like being the host of a show."
J: "You know how I feel about you working so much.">

Message from Dean Gail R. O'Day
When I started working on this update, Wake Forest campus was in full autumnal splendor. A splendor that was recognized with a national ranking as the most beautiful college campus in fall. And today, as I finally finish it, the trees have dropped most of their leaves and it feels like winter, no longer autumn. All that to say - it has been a busy fall and time has flown by!
Fall Semester Highlights
In addition to our regular offerings of courses, we have had many guest speakers visit campus this fall. To name a few:
- John Philip Newell, internationally known poet and theologian,
- Vandana Shiva, a global food activist, and
- Bishop Gene Robinson, retired bishop of the Episcopal diocese of New Hampshire.
In addition to giving public talks that were well attended by the broader community, each of these speakers also spent time in small group conversation with our students. These small group conversations give our students opportunities to learn directly from people whose books they read in class and are one of the
great benefits of attending divinity school at a top university.
In October we learned that we were one of ten schools of divinity in the United States to receive a grant from the American Association for the Advancement of Science for a project, "Moving Science to the Forefront of Theological Education." This project will promote a more informed and fruitful dialogue between science and religion. Dr. Kevin Jung, Associate Professor of Christian Ethics, will direct the project. This grant project puts us in a longstanding Wake Forest University tradition of advocating the compatibility of religion and science.
In October we hosted a Campus Festival of Young Preachers, part of the national Academy of Preachers. Twenty-eight young people, including students, prospective students, and alumni, preached for one another, for festival attendees, and for preaching coaches who gave them feedback on their
sermons. And three seasoned preachers also preached and led worship for the festival. It was a great occasion and the Academy of Preachers congratulated us on the most successful campus festival they had seen!
And perhaps most importantly for community life at the School of Divinity, we were able to start worshipping in Davis Chapel in the last week of October. After a fall of worshipping in the Lower Auditorium and then quickly converting it from a worship space to a community lunch space, it was wonderful to come back home to our new/old worship space. Ken Bennett, University Photographer, has taken some beautiful photos of the refurbished Davis Chapel. We will have a more formal open house and chapel re-dedication in the spring.
Two significant continuing education events were launched this fall.
- The certificate program for leadership of faith-based non-profits had weekend intensive meetings in October and November at the WFU Charlotte Center and is off to a great start. We look forward to growing this program in the future.
- The Early Career Clergy project, funded by the Lilly Endowment, Inc., had its first meeting in mid-November. A clergy cohort from across NC and southern VA spent a few days discussing health care and the challenges and opportunities health care offers for religious leadership. Our own BOV member, Ophelia Garmon-Brown, led one of the sessions, as did Donna Boswell, a health care policy expert and member of the WFU Board of Trustees, and Chris Gambill, director of FaithHealth NC.
The School of Divinity was featured in two articles in the November 12 issue of The Christian Century!
- One article was on the science and religion grant, and
- one was an article on the Climate Change march in NYC, which has interviews with one of our alums, Caleb Pusey, and Fred Bahnson.
A Season of Thanks
Tuesday, November 18 we had the School of Divinity Thanksgiving luncheon and celebration at community lunch. In addition to a festive and delicious meal, we also watched a video in which faculty, students, and staff shared what they were thankful for this Thanksgiving.
I said I was thankful for coming to work each day at the School of Divinity and seeing the amazing things our students and alumni do each and every day. I am thankful for each one of you and your engagement with our educational mission. For your monetary support, your prayers on our behalf, for each time you tell our story to a friend or a prospective student, for the ways each of you lives out your vocation and shares yourself with us – thank you.
I hope you and your family and friends have a wonderful Advent and Christmas. May we find time to enjoy the many gifts we have received.
With all good wishes,
Gail R. O'Day
Dean and Professor of New Testament and Preaching

China accuses Coca-Cola of misusing GPS equipment
More News from Associated Press
BEIJING — Chinese authorities say they are investigating whether Coca-Cola Co. employees improperly used location-finding technology in violation of the country's restrictions on map-making.
Coca-Cola said Thursday it was cooperating with investigators. It said some of its bottling plants use mapping and location technology that is widely available commercially in China to improve the efficiency of deliveries.
Authorities in the southwestern province of Yunnan said Coca-Cola employees were found last month improperly using handheld global positioning system devices. It said that was one of 21 similar cases.
China's government tightly controls map-making activities due to both national security concerns and political sensitivities about its borders.
