Letter to the Fedora council - is the Fedora community forgetting its primary goal?
I've been around in the community for quite a bit, and while I'm not a kernel-dev or a team lead, I still like to think I belong to the community - helping where I can. Why I've stuck around over the years, other than because I've made friends in the community that I'd miss, is the philosophy of Fedora - the stance we take towards FOSS - which distinguishes us from any other Linux distribution.

Richard Stallman and Phil Zimmerman underline key concerns with tech sector
Two of technology's most pioneering developers have strongly criticised the current state of the industry, warning that the right to encryption is doomed and that users are exploited by the software that they use. Open sourcerer Richard Stallman has painted a very bleak picture of today's technology and communications environment, describing proprietary software as "malware". Stallman, the founder of the free software movement, perhaps not surprisingly has a very jaundiced view of proprietary software, and of Microsoft Windows especially.

Publisher's Description
A COVER-UP OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONSà
Centuries ago, English translators perpetrated a fraud in the New Testament, and itÆs been purposely hidden and covered up ever since. Your own Bible is probably included in the cover-up!
In this book, which includes a study guide for personal or group use, John MacArthur unveils the essential and clarifying revelation that may be keeping you from a fulfillingùand correctùrelationship with God. ItÆs powerful. ItÆs controversial. And with new eyes youÆll see the riches of your salvation in a radically new way.
What does it mean to be a Christian the way Jesus defined it? MacArthur says it all boils down to one word:
ôWe have been bought with a price. We belong to Christ. We are His own possession.ö
"Dr. John MacArthur is never afraid to tell the truth and in this book he does just that. The Christian's great privilege is to be the slave of Christ. Dr. MacArthur makes it clear that this is one of the Bible's most succinct ways of describing our discipleship. This is a powerful exposition of Scripture, a convincing corrective to shallow Christianity, a masterful work of pastoral encouragement...a devotional classic." - Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"John MacArthur expertly and lucidly explains that Jesus frees us from bondage into a royal slavery that we might be His possession. Those who would be His children must, paradoxically, be willing to be His slaves." - Dr. R.C. Sproul"Dr. John MacArthur's teaching on 'slavery' resonates in the deepest recesses of my 'inner-man.' As an African-American pastor, I have been there. That is why the thought of someone writing about slavery as being a 'God-send' was the most ludicrous, unconscionable thing that I could have ever imagined...until I read this book. Now I see that becoming a slave is a biblical command, completely redefining the idea of freedom in Christ. I don't want to simply be a 'follower' or even just a 'servant'...but a 'slave'." - The Rev. Dr. Dallas H. Wilson, Jr., Vicar, St. John's Episcopal Chapel, Charleston, SC

Product Reviews
David GoughAlexandria, VAAge: 55-65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Thinking "slavery" in the context of the GospelMay 1, 2013David GoughAlexandria, VAAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Slave: The Hidden Truth About Your Identity in Christ.The provocative one word title may turn some off in this politically correct age, but to judge this book by its cover is to miss an often overlooked biblical teaching. From its preface to its closing chapter, John MacArthur builds a compelling case in suggesting that translators of English versions of the Bible for centuries have mistakenly mistranslated the Greek word "doulos" and, thereby watered down it meaning. Substituting "servant" for "slave" is to miss the great truth that followers of Jesus Christ are truly those who have surrendered all rights and claims of their own to the Lordship of the Savior. The author makes a number of valid points in support of his argument, including that servants serve by choice but slaves have no choice, thus emphasizing the place of divine sovereignty. He points out that no one ever possesses "absolute freedom" because no one is ever free to do everything they want to do. We are at all times "slaves" to something...namely to sin (before Christ) or to the Lord (following conversion). He also discusses the biblical paradox that freedom is found by becoming a slave to Christ. As the reader progresses through the book, he finds MacArthur unfolding how the Master-slave relationship with Christ actually beautifully coincides with our friendship and sonship in Him. This is a powerfully encouraging book that is extremely well researched and annotated. What it lacks is a bibliography and index, but these are minor drawbacks from a work that goes a long way toward explaining the relationship of the redeemed sinner who has been bought out of the slave market of sin and become a slave of Christ. The Apostle Paul used this imagery on numerous occasions, and MacArthur has done a commendable job in shedding light on those passages.

To see our identity as slave to Master/Lord Jesus, and grasp the weightiness of the analogy is paradoxically true freedom.

Rescue workers helped an entire family evacuate from their home in Dallas early Friday morning, even carrying one young man out of the house. One woman said she is "mad" and doesn't understand why efforts to stop the flooding haven't worked.
Residents of Frederick, Md., live near several high-containment labs located at Fort Detrick. Some are concerned about the safety of research with dangerous pathogens.

"That teacher obtains my highest approbation who ascribes as much as possible to divine grace. …"
The year Jacob Arminius was born (in Oudewater, Holland), John Calvin was busy establishing the Genevan Academy to propagate his ideas of predestination. About that same time, Guido de Brès wrote the first edition of the Belgic Confession, which became one of the basic doctrinal standards of Dutch Calvinism. As Arminius grew up, arguments over Calvin's teachings interrupted those over Spanish rule. By the time Arminius was 14, William the Silent, Holland's king, was a Calvinist.
But by the time Arminius died, the theological landscape was shifting again, and Arminius's anti-Calvinist theology was spreading rapidly across Europe.

Latimer and Ridley burned at stake
Jacob Arminius born

Mayflower Compact drafted
Arminius began to question Calvinism (especially its view of grace and predestination) in his early 20s, but rather than fight for his views at the Geneva Academy, where he had studied under Calvin's successor, Theodore Beza, he left quietly. When Genevan authorities became angry at Arminius's defense of French humanist Peter Ramus, Arminius left for Basel. He was offered a doctorate there but turned it down on the grounds that his youth (he was only 24 or 25) would bring dishonor to the title.
It was his study of the Epistle to the Romans as an Amsterdam minister that set Jacob Arminius firmly against Calvinism. Faith, he believed, was the cause of election: "It is an eternal and gracious decree of God in Christ, by which he determines to justify and adopt believers, and to endow them with eternal life but to condemn unbelievers, and impenitent persons."
Though he was accused of Pelagianism (an overemphasis on free will) and other heresies, his critics brought no proof of the charges.
"That teacher obtains my highest approbation who ascribes as much as possible to divine grace," he assured them, "provided he so pleads the cause of grace, as not to inflict an injury on the justice of God, and not to take away the free will of that which is evil."
In 1606, while professor of theology at Leiden, Arminius delivered an address titled "On Reconciling Religious Dissensions among Christians":
"Religious dissension is the worst kind of disagreement," he wrote, "for it strikes the very altar itself. It engulfs everyone; each must take sides or else make a third party of himself."
Still, he continued to be disturbed by the determinism of Calvinism, and he called for a national synod to resolve the conflicts and to look critically at two crucial Calvinist documents, the Belgic Confession and the Heidelberg Catechism. The synod finally met but not until nine years after Arminius died (in good standing with the Dutch Reformed Church), and eight years after the Remonstrance was issued, which developed and articulated the key themes of what is today called Arminian theology: Christ died for all (not just the elect) and individuals can resist grace and even lose salvation. Arminianism since has influenced key figures in church history, such as John Wesley, the founder of Methodism.

Early results of a phase 1 clinical trial of ISIS-SOD1-Rx, an antisense oligonucleotide drug for SOD1-related amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), show the drug appears to be safe and well tolerated at the lowest dosage level, based on a group of six patients who received 12-hour infusions of it into their spinal fluid.
The state of the science in ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease), current lines of research, efforts to establish a TDP43 research mouse colony, and a primer on protein-based therapies were the topics of a webcast on April 7, 2011, presented by ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) CEO and Chief Scientific Officer Steve Perrin, and colleagues.
Neuralstem's trial of spinal cord injections of stem cells is on track
Most people affected by neuromuscular disease know all too well that their condition is costly. MDA wants to find out just how costly — and then translate those figures into terms that will speak to policy makers.
(Update 9/14/11: The 2011 scholarship winners have been selected. To view a list of winners visit www.deshae.org/cmms/awards/2011/scholars.pdf. Applications for quality of life grants continue to be accepted and are awarded on an ongoing basis.)
Update 8/31/11: Enrollment screening for this study has closed to new prospective participants.
MDA is funding research into a potential treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that inhibits excessive glutamate signaling in the brain and spinal cord.
TDP43 has unexpectedly extensive role
Scientists have found that the protein TDP43 normally influences the synthesis of more than 1,500 other proteins, including itself. Mutations in the gene for TDP43 are a known cause of ALS, and TDP43 is depleted in the nucleus and enriched in the cytoplasm (main cell compartment) in ALS-affected nerve cells, even when no TDP43 mutations exist. Understanding TDP43's many functions is likely to improve understanding of ALS.
For more, see:
UPDATE (April 9, 2012): MDA and ALS Biopharma agreed to terminate this project in April 2012, when ALS Biopharma determined that it was unable to manufacture its HSP70-based compound in a pure enough form to meet study standards. The ability to reliably produce the compound in sufficient quantity and quality for testing purposes was one of a number of milestones that had to be met in order for the project to receive full funding.
Moving therapeutic strategies from the laboratory to clinical trials and ultimately to the market as treatments was the theme of the MDA National Scientific Conference held March 13-16, 2011, in Las Vegas.
Some 300 people attended the conference, the first in a planned series of such MDA-sponsored meetings that will emphasize new research and current medical care. The majority of presenters and many of the audience members were current or former MDA research grantees or physicians at MDA-supported clinics.

Great treats for horses!
posted 6 years ago
The horses were a little skeptical at first, the feed man left us a bag of treats and they are different shaped than most. They are tubular and are different colors. After a bit of coaxing to get them to try the treats, they love them. Now, we just have to get more!
Pros: Great horse treats
Cons: none

He's been awesome! This is just an observation of mine, but has Howies puck handling skills improved? I mean, he plays it with poise now. Maybe he's learning from Ozzie (top 5 if you ask me when he as playing... very underrated.). I think that's helping too. I can't help but think when he challenges the shooter...he looks like Ozzie. Watch some 2008 Ozzie, then watch Howie this year. Very aggressive! And it works! Last year he would back in into the paint to early.

2008 Ozzie is a great comparison. I said repeatedly to the Ozzie bashers that year that Ozzie didn't have many shots to face but the ones he did tended to be gilt-edged ones which required a big save. Game last night looked like a case in point, only 24 LAK shots, but 3 or 4 golden opportunities which Jimmeh turned away.
So refreshing to see a Wings goalie carry playoff form into the following season!

Totally agree! I think he is playing some of the best hockey in his career- He made some stops in this Socal trip that made my jaw drop!!
Another brilliant game.
Way to go JIMMY!!!!
Money on the board-
Five bucks for any Miller, Andy or Glenny goal (and double to 10 bucks for Glenny if it's on the forehand!)
A buck for every Gus and Tatar Tuna goal
Two bucks a shut out....and I think Petey can post a few
And in honour of Marchy saving me from shotputting a bottle through the TV because of a Smith DERP moment, Five bucks for any Marchenko goal!

This is why he signed a low end deal for only a couple years. He is out to show he can be a big money goalie. There is no reason why he can't make more in a Wings uniform. He has to meet very lofty expectations to make more though. The Wings regularly don't pay a lot for their goalies since the lockout. Still, he could break the mold. I am very impressed with his play. His save percentage and GAA are spectacular. Imagine how many wins the Wings would have had during that 6 game losing streak if they would have scored 1-2 goals more per game. They could have won 4-5 of those games. Seems that every game the Wings have lost have been games where they have scored 0 or 1 goal.
Was discussing this with my Dad via text last night. He has been playing better than we've ever seen him play over a prolonged period. It seems that he's really come into his own this season as a top-tier goaltender.
I love what I see! Go Howard!

LUMBERTON — United Way of Robeson County last year raised $570,826.85, allowing 18 partner agencies to send children to camp, feed the hungry and even save lives.
Representatives from the agencies presented "success stories" from the previous year at the organization's annual meeting on Thursday.
"The reason I work for United Way and believe so strongly in United Way is because we form partnerships, so when you give to United Way, you aren't just giving to 'A' organization, you're giving to 'A through M' organizations," said Sandra Oliver, the organization's executive director.
The chapter's goal for the campaign had been $715,000, meaning it was just shy of hitting 80 percent of the goal.
"We've raised the least amount of money that we've raised in a long time," Oliver said. "… I think fundraising has become very difficult because there's lots of people out there with a hand out."
Regardless, Oliver said United Way was able to help many people during 2013.
Communities in Schools of Robeson County was able to put teacher cadets in classrooms with the help of United Way.
Logan Brill, a teacher cadet who works at Tanglewood and Rowland Norment elementary schools, said by supporting the program, United Way is investing in future generations.
"As a young mentor like myself, who will be graduating in June, maybe one day … my kids will say "Ms. Logan, guess what? I'm graduating," she told the group of about 40 people.
Brill said she's been working with kindergarten students at Rowland Norment to teach them how to spell and form sentences.
As proof of their efforts, Brill showed the crowd "a late Valentine's Day gift" from one student.
"Not only did she write her name and write the date, she also wrote a sentence. And the sentence says "I love Ms. Logan."
With the help of the United Way, the local Red Cross chapter was able to respond after a tornado touched down in St. Pauls last week.
"Luckily there were not too serious issues … but we went to an area where three roofs were flying off," said Cynthia Bradley, executive director for the Red Cross in Moore County and Scotland County, which works with United Way of Robeson County.
Bradley said with United Way money, the Red Cross was able to pay for a hotel room for a diabetic man who had lost power at his home, which he needed to keep his medicine cool and oxygen machine running.
"When he left," she said, "that big, strapping man was crying."
During Robeson County's most recent snowstorm, the Robeson Church and Community Center provided a similar service to a disabled, homeless veteran living by the Lumber River. The center put the man, whose wheelchair had been broken when he was knocked into the river by a car, in a hotel room, fed him and gave him a winter coat.
"It helps make a difference in if somebody gets to eat or not … it helps make a difference in if someone has a warm, safe place to sleep at night," said Darlene Jacobs, executive director.
United Way also helped fund the Robeson County 4-H program's shooting sports club in Fairmont, where two teenage members built an archery range and a shelter for the shooting range solely with donations from the town. The project would have cost the town about $20,000, according to Shea Ann DeJarnette.
At Christmas, 141 foster children received gifts from the Foster Children's Christmas Fund, which is supported by the United Way. A Boy Scouts troop was started in Maxton and 700 area girls were about to join the Girl Scouts' Outreach Program free of charge.
"If everybody in Robeson County could hear what was presented today, everyone would want to give to United Way because these are all things that are happening right here in this county and lots of people don't even know about these things," Oliver said.
The 18 partner agencies are: American Red Cross; Boys and Girls Club; Boy Scouts Cape Fear Council; Foster Children's Christmas Fund; Girl Scouts N.C. Coastal Pines; Lumberton Christian Care Center; Mayor's Committee for the Challenged; Rape Crisis Center; Robeson Church and Community Center; Robeson County Communities in Schools; Robeson County 4-H Program; Robeson County Partnership for Children Born Learning Program; Robeson Family Counseling Center; Southeastern Family Violence Center; Southeastern Industrial Center; Southeastern Hospice; Southeastern N.C. Radio Reading Service; and The University of North Carolina at Pembroke's Save Our Scholarships Program.

Awareness "You can lead healthy and happy lives too" is the message Coimbatore District HIV Ullor Nala Sangam volunteers spread to those struggling with the infection.
It was T.Parameswari's first day at work. She had to meet her client Geetha in Ram Nagar. Try as she did, she couldn't locate her address. Parameswari approached a shopkeeper for directions. 'Who? You mean 'AIDS' Geetha?', he asked. Parameswari, HIV positive herself, was taken aback. "I can never forget that day," she says. "Everything that happened from that moment on is vivid in my mind."
Recalls Parameswari, "Geetha had a rash all over her skin. Her husband was dead and she had no relatives. She lived all alone in her house. But as we got talking, I came to know that everyone in her locality knew about her condition and were immensely supportive, including her employers where she worked as a cook." For Parameswari, who was then a volunteer with Coimbatore District HIV Ullor Nala Sangam (CDHUNS), the meeting was life-changing. "I realised that HIV did not mean 'the end'. I overcame the fear that had kept me locked up at home for a year."
Showing the way
Parameswari then became a peer educator with CDHUNS, a community-based organisation that started a peer education system in 2007. CDHUNS is affiliated to Indian Network for Positive People (INP+). Parameswari explains, "A peer educator teaches HIV positive people about the disease, makes them aware of the treatment options, and most importantly, motivates them to lead normal, happy lives." In 2008, Parameswari underwent a four-day training programme through CDHUNS. "I was taught how infected people should take care of themselves, what their diet should be and so on." She began visiting those affected by HIV to spread some hope.
"It's not easy to win their confidence. We have to be extremely careful with what we say. I usually begin by telling my story and how life changed for the better after I came forward for treatment," she says.
The system works both ways. Peer educators also gain confidence by the day. Parameswari says she once contemplated suicide. "I'm a completely different person now," she smiles. She is now employed by CDHUNS as a field worker.
CDHUNS' secretary, S.Aruchamy, says INP+ conducted a 'Master peer education programme' for two of its members who in turn train volunteers in the city. "Since 2007, about 25 volunteers are trained every year," he says. "At present, there are 108 peer educators in Coimbatore, who are taught new courses every four months."
The Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) centre at the Government Hospital refers newly infected people to CDHUNS, who are in turn assigned to volunteers . "Coimbatore is divided into 12 blocks with five to 10 peer educators for each block," explains Aruchamy.
It has been 14 years since Aruchamy found out that he is HIV positive. "In 1998, I was sent out of a private hospital when I approached them for treatment. Though there are hospitals that take in HIV positive people at present, we have a long way to go to fight the stigma," he says. "In rural areas, HIV positive people continue to be humiliated. Things haven't changed much."
A peer educator enables an infected person to deal with stigma, says Aruchamy. "But every step of the process has to be planned and executed carefully. When a peer educator visits the household of an HIV positive person, she will not mention the term 'HIV' unless she is alone with the person concerned. Sometimes even the family members may not be aware of their status, so one must be extremely cautious," he says.
A peer educator's job doesn't stop with education and motivation. Says Parameswari, "We also provide nutritional support and educational support for their children if needed. I once met an HIV infected person who carried heavy loads from the daily market for just Rs.50 everyday. We arranged for an easier and better-paying job for her."
Daily-wage labourers, drivers, housewives… they are all part of the peer education squad of CDHUNS. The lively Loganayaki, an anganwadi teacher is one of them.
"The first thing I tell an infected person is, 'look at me'," she smiles. "'See how happy and healthy I am. You can be too."

Community Radio Handbook for Good Governance and Development to be Published Soon in Bangla by BNNRC, Bangladesh
Community Radio is going to make an important place in development field in Bangladesh.
Ten years of building progressive social movements in South Korea
The 1990s witnessed the exponential growth of online communication and simultaneously experienced its widespread impacts on all aspects of human activities. Worldwide progressive social movements recognised the potential of online communication and started using it as a networking tool for furthering their causes. APC member in South Korea, Jinbonet, was to see the flashpoint for their own birth in 1997, during a general strike, which "showed that computer networks could play a useful organising role across borders for each sector of the movement," says Byoung-il of Jinbonet in an interview with APCNews to commemorate the organisation's tenth anniversary.
Role of Community Radio in Disaster Risk Reduction in Bangladesh
Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC).is promoting the advocacy with the government in relation to community radio with other organizations since its emergence.
Jinbonet: Ten years of commitment, courage and innovation
Congratulations to APC member Jinbonet of Korea, who will be celebrating its 10th anniversary on November 14th. As innovators of ICT for social justice, Jinbonet has been a leader in its commitment to social rights, gender equality, use of free and open source software (FOSS), and has been an integral part of APC's work in Asia and at large. APC has learnt so much from this truly dedicated and steadfast organisation, and will continue to do so.

Urinals among top memorabilia requests
An executive involved in the sale of pieces of the old Yankee Stadium says urinals are a hot commodity for those seeking New York Yankees mementos.
Steiner Sports Chief Executive Officer Brandon Steiner said while his company routinely receives requests for Yankee Stadium urinals, the bathroom items from the former MLB stadium are not available for sale, the New York Daily News reported Sunday.
People always ask for the bathroom stuff, like the urinals, Steiner said.
There were some strange requests.
For those seeking an item from the former home of the New York Yankees there is a July auction that will find the actual Yankees dugout telephone up for sale.
The old stadium's foul poles will also be up for auction, along with the carpet from the team's clubhouse.
Plumber Joe Pesco of New Rochelle, N.Y., told the Daily News not being able to buy a stadium urinal was not too heartbreaking as he chose two seats instead.
At least I can put the seats somewhere, Pesco said.
I don't have any place to put a urinal.

IEP Analysis
Peace is a useful proxy for progress – in many ways, the factors associated with a peaceful environment also underpin the conditions which enable human potential to flourish. By deepening our understanding of peace, we can advance our broader understanding of the social, economic, cultural and political factors that enable both peace and human development.
Research conducted by the Institute for Economics and Peace has shown peace is associated with particular social, economic, cultural and governance structures and institutions. The presence of these formal and informal structures and institutions tend to be associated with more peaceful environments; they can be interdependent and operate in a virtuous or vicious cycles.

Globe enriches more lives through the My Fair Share Program
popular .
Lucia Calubay, 45, has been with Caritas Manila for only two weeks. A former sewer who used to work on clothing for 17 years, Lucia says that the Globe My Fair Share eco-bags were one of the first jobs she took on at Caritas.
"We finished more than 150 pieces in less than a week," shares Lucia. "Yung kinita ko sa pagawa ng bags, pandagdag din sa binibigay sa mga anak ko." Lucia has three children, the youngest is still in elementary school. Lucia's husband is a company driver and the work she does for Globe's My Fair Share program helps them with their daily expenses. "Siyempre, lahat ng anak ko nag-aaral pa at kailangan din ng pandagdag sa pambaon sa mga anak ko."
Leonor Gonzales, 62, works with Lucia on the My Fair Share eco-bags. A Caritas Manila volunteer who often helped with the organization's feeding programs, Leonor has also been sewing for seven years. She shares that the eco-bags were one of her favorite sewing jobs.
"They were easy to assemble and sew together!" she laughs. But the earnings she received from working on the eco-bags also help her get through the everyday ordeal of having to look for extra money.
Leonor's grandchildren are often left with her and she has adopted two baby girls who were abandoned at a church.
Lucia and Leonor are just two of the women empowered by the My Fair Share Program of Globe Bridging Communities, the corporate social responsibility arm of Globe Telecom. The program, in partnership with social enterprise Gifts & Graces Inc., helps small producers such as women sewers of Caritas Manila, Pamana Pag-asa Boni Producers Cooperative in Mandaluyong, and Kaibhan Women's Association in Bulacan, integrate into the Globe Telecom value chain.
Empowering communities
The My Fair Share eco-bags are sold for P99 at all Globe Business Centers nationwide and through the Globe Online Shop. "The My Fair Share eco-bag project is an initiative that empowers the entrepreneurial poor while taking care of communities and the planet. Globe and Gifts & Graces have been working together since April 2012 with the shared goal of promoting fair trade, micro-entrepreneurship and improving lives," says Rob I. Nazal, Head of Globe Corporate Social Responsibility.
To date, Globe has sold over 16,000 eco-bags which amounts to P1.4 million. According to Greg Perez, Executive Director of Gifts & Graces Inc., "Our work is focused on empowering community-based micro-enterprises. Communities have the skills. As a fair trade organization, we go beyond the provision of livelihood opportunities. Part of our engagement with our partners is a capacity building program for the communities which will help strengthen their entrepreneurial capacities."
Beyond providing market access to small producers, Globe also extends ICT infrastructure support such as netbooks, Globe Tattoo Mobile Internet and Fixed Internet subscriptions to Gifts & Graces Inc. Globe will also assist community-based producers in gaining access to cheaper communications and financial services through BPI-Globe BanKo and the Globe BridgeCom SIM.
Adds Perez, "Because of the huge demand for the eco-bag, we've also tapped more communities such as Pamana Pag-asa Boni Producers Cooperative and Caritas Manila to help with the production."
Pamana is a cooperative of urban poor families who craft products out of upcycled canvas and tarpaulins and whom Globe is helping by donating used tarpaulins and other materials that can be remade into quality handicrafts. Caritas Manila, on the other hand, is the lead Catholic agency for social services and development of the Archdiocese of Manila.
Doing one's fair share
The My Fair Share Program portfolio of partners also includes local coffee farmers and handmade paper producers such as social enterprises Custom Made Crafts Center, Rurungan sa Tubod Foundation, and Bote Central to produce holiday products as corporate giveaways and gifts.
"The program transforms the way Globe gives back—not only by aiding partners and beneficiary communities with capital, funds for capacity and skills development and ICT tools—but also by empowering them with livelihood opportunities and giving them market access by bringing them into the Globe value chain.

Re: Very Good Vendor Thread
I have to praise Blackline Marine, in Sidney BC (Canoe Cove/Vancouver Island). They have done MAJOR work for me over the years, from rebuilding my skeg, stainless work to re-rigging. Totally trustworthy and top-notch workmanship. They are a shop you can feel comfortable with NOT checking on the progress daily. They stay within budget, are cost-conscious and keep in constant communication with the customer. I can't say enough good about them. I have had some good and some horrible experiences elsewhere over my many, many years of sailboat ownership (Seattle & Port Townsend) before I discovered Blackline Marine. Now I am willing to sail nearly 100 miles (and out of my country) to have them work on my boat.

Capital One Cup: Leicester beat Fulham 4-3 in fourth-round clash
Last Updated: 31/10/13 11:33am
Lloyd Dyer: Scored the winner
Lloyd Dyer netted a late winner as Leicester City beat Fulham 4-3 in their Capital One Cup fourth-round clash at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night.
Leicester substitute Lloyd Dyer scored the 89th-minute winner in a thrilling topsy-turvy Capital One Cup tie to book a place in the quarter-finals at Fulham's expense.
The promotion-chasing Foxes showed they were more than a match for Premier League opposition, although considering the Cottagers' struggles in the top flight it was difficult to describe the result as a shock.
Just eight league places separate the two sides with Leicester second in the Championship and they showed the character to bounce back from an 85th-minute equaliser - having led 3-1 - to snatch a 4-3 victory.
Hugo Rodallega's second goal of the season two months after his first, also in this competition, had put the visitors ahead only for the home side strike twice late on in the first half.
Fulham contributed significantly to their own downfall as individual errors led to both goals.
First goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg's fumbled long-range free-kick presented captain Wes Morgan with a simple close-range tap-in.
Less than five minutes later Philippe Senderos, who was the only outfield survivor from Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Southampton, hacked a clearance into Paul Konchesky and Chris Wood gratefully accepted the rebound.
Leicester made it three goals in 12 minutes either side of half-time when Ignasi Miquel headed in only for Rodallega to immediately go down the other end and pull one back.
When Giorgos Karagounis smashed home a free-kick with five minutes remaining Leicester should have been crushed but they picked themselves up and Dyer delivered the knockout blow.
The home side's promising start was halted midway through the first half when John Arne Riise's low cross was dummied by Adel Taarabt for the unnarked Rodallega to convert at the far post.
They should have capitalised on that but the Cottagers are lacking in confidence and their opposition were quickly back at them with Konchesky letting one fly from distance before Stekelenburg got down well to hold Wood's low drive.
The Dutch goalkeeper then had to bat away two efforts from Anthony Knockaert, who caused some problems down Fulham's left, before Konchesky volleyed over the second rebound from a narrow angle.
Stekelenburg was not so assured with his handling four minutes before the break as, when Knockaert drilled in a 30-yard free-kick, he fumbled and Morgan weighed in with his first goal since August 2012.
More calamity was to follow for Fulham as Senderos' clearance rebounded off Konchesky into the path of Wood who comfortably beat the goalkeeper.
Any hope Fulham had of rallying after the break was quickly snuffed out as Leicester leapt on them straight from the restart.
Dyer, on for Konchesky at the interval, blazed wide with a clear sight of goal before, in the 51st minute, Danny Drinkwater's cross was headed in by Miquel.
That appeared to have clinched the win as Fulham had shown little appetite for a fight but the visitors went straight down the other end and Rodallega nodded in Karagounis' cross at the far post.
Suddenly the game became a proper cup tie with Wood's acrobatic volley tipped away by Stekelenburg and Jeffrey Schlupp running right through the middle of Fulham only to be stopped by Aaron Hughes' well-timed block.
Cottagers' substitute Bryan Ruiz shot wastefully straight at Kasper Schmeichel but Rodallega's departure to injury did not end Fulham's hopes as Karagounis brilliantly drilled a 20-yard free-kick into the top corner with five minutes to go.
However, Dyer scored even later as he slid in to convert David Nugent's right-wing cross.

Jsut a note. ..
The first 24 threads concentrate on the men's game with barely a mention of women. Not until the "love of the game thread" does any sense women hold a racket, pervade a topic. Even when the topic post is not exlusive, by the time the first 6 posts are done, it is! Yes I know I could be bumping other threads or creating them but may be fighting a loosing battle right now. Its really the Former male pro's room these days. Not so even two months ago. Hmmmm.
that's a bit misleading, since 9 of those 24 threads are on Agassi's book. I expect that number to increase even more in the next month. Maybe a separate forum just for that?
this is the time of year in which posters who normally never venture into this section start posting, so I wouldn't read too much into it.
Come AO time, the only people probably posting here will be me & like 10 other people, so it will likely resemble what it looked like 2 months ago.
How about how many top 10 wins from :
Capriati : 49
Davenport : 131
And there is still some people who put Jennifer ahead of Lindsay :???:
Or is it ustj a note?

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has blamed the opposition Communist Party of India – Marxist (CPI-M) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the killing of a chief executive officer of a jute mill at Bhadreswar in the state's Hooghly District.
The CEO of North Brook Jute Mill, SK Maheswari, was beaten up by the agitated workers of the factory on Sunday, when he rejected their demand for an increase in the weekly working hours so that they are paid more.
General Manager Kiranjit Singh said, "There was sudden brick throwing, we were in a meeting, and didn't see who they were, Maheswari was badly hurt, I also got hurt badly along with our security men."
The workers were paid according to the hours of work put in by them and demanded that the weekly working hours be increased to 40 from the present 25, besides submitting a list of other demands.
A worker of the mill, Toton Ali, said, "In a meeting held in the morning, the management said from 1st July, there will be work for 3 days and for 3 days the factory will remain closed. Workers got agitated and and started throwing bricks, iron rods and sticks wherein I also got hurt."
The angry workers allegedly pelted stones at Maheshwari and thrashed him with iron rods.
The CEO, who suffered serious injuries, was taken to a private nursing home, where he succumbed. He was beaten to death yesterday allegedly by workers on the factory premises.
Hooghly Superintendent of Police said, the workers were demanding increase in weekly working hours to get paid more.
The BJP has accused the state government of failing to maintain law and order.
BJP leader Siddharth Nath Singh said, "The CEO who had passed away, first, I want to give my condolence to his family members, who died in Hooghly after lynching by workers of the jute mill."

As the premalignant lesion of human esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), Barrett's esophagus (BE) is characterized by intestinal metaplasia in the normal esophagus (NE). Gene expression profiling with microarray and serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) may help us understand the potential molecular mechanism of human BE.
We analyzed three microarray datasets (two cDNA arrays and one oligonucleotide array) and one SAGE dataset with statistical tools, significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) and SAGE(Poisson), to identify individual genes differentially expressed in BE. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to identify a priori defined sets of genes that were differentially expressed. These gene sets were grouped according to either certain signaling pathways (GSEA curated), or the presence of consensus binding sequences of known transcription factors (GSEA motif). Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) was used to validate differential gene expression.
Both SAM and SAGE(Poisson) identified 68 differentially expressed genes (55 BE genes and 13 NE genes) with an arbitrary cutoff ratio (≥4-fold). With IHC on matched pairs of NE and BE tissues from 6 patients, these genes were grouped into 6 categories: category I (25 genes only expressed in BE), category II (5 genes only expressed in NE), category III (8 genes expressed more in BE than in NE), and category IV (2 genes expressed more in NE than in BE). Differential expression of the remaining genes was not confirmed by IHC either due to false discovery (category V), or lack of proper antibodies (category VI). Besides individual genes, the TGFβ pathway and several transcription factors (CDX2, HNF1, and HNF4) were identified by GSEA as enriched pathways and motifs in BE. Apart from 9 target genes known to be up-regulated in BE, IHC staining confirmed up-regulation of 19 additional CDX1 and CDX2 target genes in BE.
Our data suggested an important role of CDX1 and CDX2 in the development of BE. The IHC-confirmed gene list will lead to future studies on the molecular mechanism of BE.
