Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Inducting Bulgari in December
The Rodeo Drive Committee and the City of Beverly Hills announced that they will induct legendary jeweler Bulgari into the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style® on December 5, 2012 on Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive. Bulgari Vice Chairman and third generation family member Nicola Bulgari will accept the award on behalf of the Bulgari family.
Bulgari will be the twentieth recipient of the coveted award and will also be recognized with a bronze plaque featuring Nicola Bulgari's signature and a famous quote permanently embedded into the sidewalk of the famous street. The on-going award, inaugurated in 2003, honors style legends for their contributions to the worlds of fashion and entertainment.
"We are honored to celebrate the House of Bulgari with the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style® Award," says Beverly Hills Mayor William W. Brien. "Since the 1940's, Bulgari has had a long and remarkable history of joining the worlds of fashion and entertainment through on-screen and red carpet appearances as well as being a favorite of many celebrity clients."
"Bulgari has dazzled red carpets around the globe since 1966 when Elizabeth Taylor wore Bulgari when she won the Academy Award for her performance in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, says Rodeo Drive Walk of Style® Selection Committee Chairman Wanda McDaniel. "In the world of jewelry, Bulgari is the quintessential brand when it comes to combining the worlds of fashion with film, red carpet and Hollywood history."
"From Sharon Stone in Casino to Sophia Loren in Pret-a-Porter and Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada to Madonna in Evita, Bulgari has made an indelible mark on the entertainment and fashion industries," says Peri Ellen Berne, Chairman of the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style®.
The House of Bulgari has a rich and storied history with the entertainment industry dating back to the 1946 Italian film Il Bandito starring Anna Magnani. Since then, Bulgari has starred in more than 40 films and graced red carpets from major awards programs, such as the Academy Awards® and Golden Globes, to international film festivals from Cannes to Venice.
In the 1960's Elizabeth Taylor wore classic Bulgari suites in The VIP's and BOOM!, while Ingrid Bergman personally selected her jewelry at the Via Condotti store in Rome for The Visit. In the last decade, Bulgari has also appeared in such films as Mission Impossible II, The Holiday, Ironman, and Woody Allen's latest To Rome With Love, to name a few.
Bulgari has lit up red carpets around the world appearing on stars such as Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway, Cameron Diaz and Charlize Theron. Other leading ladies who have dazzled the red carpet in Bulgari include Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Chastain, Kirsten Dunst, Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson, Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightly, Julianne Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rachel Weisz.
Nicola Bulgari is the grandson of Sotirio, a talented silversmith who founded Bulgari after emigrating from his native country, Greece. Together with his brother Paolo, Mr. Bulgari was introduced to the family business by his father Giorgio in the 1960's.
A keen coin collector, Mr. Bulgari gave a substantial contribution to one of the company's major and most successful aesthetic trends of those years– the creation of jewels including such ancient coins. He thus continued a well-established classical tradition while obtaining completely modern and original results. He played a crucial role in the development of modular jewelry, or jewels that are wearable, flexible and recognizable – jewels that can be a part of everyday life. This revolutionized the jewelry industry in the 1970s and 1980s, and made Bulgari's modular designs some of the most copied jewels in the world. These days Nicola spends an extraordinary amount of time choosing the magnificent colorful gemstones that make up the Bulgari High Jewelry collection.
Bulgari joins previous Rodeo Drive Walk of Style® honorees Diana Vreeland, Missoni, Iman, Fred Hayman, Princess Grace (Kelly) of Monaco, Cartier, Valentino Garavani, Manolo Blahnik, James Galanos, Gianni and Donatella Versace, Salvatore Ferragamo, Edith Head, James Acheson, Milena Canonero, Herb Ritts, Mario Testino and Tom Ford. Giorgio Armani was the first recipient in 2003. Honorees are selected by an independent committee comprised of media, celebrities, past honorees and academics in the worlds of fashion and entertainment.
Created by the late sculptor Robert Graham and standing 14-feet tall at the intersection of Rodeo Drive and Dayton Way in front of Two Rodeo, "Torso" serves as the symbol for the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style®. Two Rodeo Drive is situated in the heart of Beverly Hills' world-renowned shopping district and offers a diverse selection of 26 luxury boutiques and restaurants.

Fashioning Cool and Cozy Shoes From Vintage Kilim Rugs
Colorful wool loafers from Artemis Design Co. hit their stride in the transition from summer to fall
THIS SUMMER HAS been busy for Milicent Armstrong, the owner and designer of accessories label Artemis Design Co. In June, Ms. Armstrong, who is based in Boston, opened up her first pop-up shop, in Nantucket, selling one-of-a-kind loafers made from vintage kilim rugs, which she sources from rural Turkey. The footwear became a hit with men and women, tourists and locals, who traded their boat shoes in favor of her designs. "It's a classic shape," said Ms. Armstrong, 27, of the preppy-exotic style. "And it kind of looks like needlepoint...people love that type of thing."
Besides the kilim loafer, Ms. Armstrong offers espadrilles, bags and a few home wares, all of which merge traditional styles with textiles from far away. She launched the label two years ago while still at Boston Architectural College, where she earned a masters in interior design with a concentration in textile design. Soon after forming the business, she had a chance meeting with designer-retailer Steven Alan, who asked her to do a trunk show at his Brooklyn store. "That's when I had to start taking it very seriously," said Ms. Armstrong. "He wanted all of this product immediately."
Though the pop-up closes on Sept. 1, her wares will still be available via her e-commerce site (artemisdesignco.com)—handy, since they are ideal for the coming Indian summer and even later fall. "The biggest selling time for me is any transitional season," she explained, adding that the wool shoe, breathable in summer, is warm in colder months. Just don't get too attached to a particular motif. "They are [really] one-of-a-kind. If there is a size-seven style you like, you can't get it in an eight," she said, "which can be a headache," but also what makes the shoes so special.

Umpire Unleashes Awesome 'Whoomp There It Is!' Strike Three Call [VIDEO]
October baseball is a time for players -- not umpires -- to take center stage.
October baseball is a time for players -- not umpires -- to take center stage.
It turns out the Houston Astros' fans stink almost as much as the team does.
Much to the dismay of Texas Rangers fans around here, the Oakland A's clinched the American League West division title Sunday. But what was caught on TV in the locker room postgame celebration is a new one on me.
Update 3:10 p.m. (EST): MLB has released an official statement confirming the suspensions of the players listed below. As for Alex Rodriguez, he will be suspended for 211 games, a period starting Thursday, August 8, and extending through the remainder of this season, the 2013 postseason and the full 2014 regular season. Rodriguez will appeal the suspension.
Major League Baseball will reportedly suspend 12 players for 50 games each for violating the sport's performance-enhancing-drugs policy in connection to a Miami health clinic called Biogenesis. The biggest name in MLB's investigation, three-time MVP Alex Rodriguez, is the only player who plans to appeal his suspension, which is believed to be far larger than the 50 games given to the 12 players who accepted their punishments.
I'm sure we all really believe we are someone's biggest fan, but do you really know your idol as well as you'd like to think?
What says "summer is finally here" better than being smacked repeatedly in the chest by a small child? Lemonade? Sure. The distant jangle of ice cream trucks? Absolutely. Fireworks and BBQ? Okay, fine, we get it
Did you think that someone who has lost their sight could never play an organized sport? Were you under the impression that a blind or visually impaired person could never play baseball? You were wrong.
It's moments like this, when Los Angeles Dodgers all-star Matt Kemp strips down on the field, giving a kid nearly his entire uniform, that bring those feelings I used to experience all baseball season long as a kid rushing back.
Having your picture taken and taking a picture both require a certain degree of concentration. So when you're taking a "selfie" (and performing both of these tasks at once) you tend to be pretty oblivious to anything else going on around you.
The baseball team at Valencia (Ca.) West Ranch High School is very aware of all the potential dangers on a baseball field: errant cleats, bean balls and, you know, rattlesnakes. Since August 11, t
We really weren't that excited about baseball season starting until we saw this video. Now we are filled with a burning desire to go to a game, catch a ball in a cup of beer, chug the beer and hold the ball in our mouth.
Baseball season is about to begin, and we all need to start getting ready for it. Before you head to the store for beer, hotdogs, and chips, get a little baseball blooper fix. These umpires are absolutely insane. If this doesn't get you pumped to go see a game, nothing will.

Don't go thru menopause without it!
6 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2745928 on Sep 19, 2009
Among the many benefits- no more night sweats, no feeling weird, no aches and pains, it's helpful in keeping bone density, and red clover has been a detox and anti-cancer herb for centuries. Great stuff- the other formulas with cohosh etc, did not work for me. Start with 2 a day for bad symptoms- 1 a day after a day or 2 - you will see results. Oh, by the way, someone had a question about why these tablets are GREEN, instead of the red ones she was used to. The tablets distributed to "general stores" like Walgreens, etc, are colored red. The same tabs that go to health supply stores are green. No difference other than the red coating. I prefer the green ones, as the coating is thinner. Same stuff inside both, tho. - Good stuff!
I can't believe how well it worked - I'm cured!

I tried numerous OTC and natural products to relieve 24/7 hot flashes with no results. I saw an ad for Promensil in Health magazine and researched it before ordering. After two weeks of one pill dalily with meals, my symptoms started to be less frequent. Now that I've passed the five week mark, I'm just about free of symptoms. I can't tell you how truly life-altering it is to be able to get a better night's sleep and be able to function during the day. I recently recommended Promensil to four other friends having proved to myself that it worked and there were not side effects. The friend who has been on it the longest so far is seeing results. I can't recommend this product highly enough.

This product is wonderful for flashes and night sweats. Recommended to all my friends of a certain age! Can only do you good. Some women have had no success with this. Some are grateful to find such a great working product for menopause symptoms. Takes a month of regular use to see benefits. Some folks are just impatient.

My has been suffering of hotflashes and mood swings since the begining of her menopause. Promensil has had a great effect on these symptoms and she recommends it to all of her friends. It seems to respond differently in each individual, from 3 weeks to 3 months before it shows improvement. It is worth the try !

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Saving Afghanistan's archaeological sites
10 Aug 2012 20:26 GMT | Europe, US & Canada, Latin America, Mexico, Spain
Spain's interior ministry has arrested four members of a major Mexican drug-trafficking cartel, including the cousin of Mexico's most wanted man.
The four men, who belong to Sinaloa cartel, one of the biggest criminal organisations in the world, were arrested near their hotels in the capital Madrid, the ministry said in a statement on Friday.
The statement gave the names of the men as Jesus Gutierrez Guzman, Rafael Humberto Celaya Valenzuela, Samuel Zazueta Valenzuela and Jesus Gonzalo Palazuelos Soto.
But the statement did not say precisely when the arrests were made, and when called by phone ministry officials could not immediately give exact details of the dates.
The ministry said the cartel wanted to make Spain a gateway for operations in Europe, even carrying out test runs using shipping containers without drugs, said the Associated Press news agency.
But investigators managed to monitor many of the group's activities and intercepted a container carrying 373kg of cocaine in late July before moving in to make the arrests.
"Our country was going to be used as a point of entry for large shipments of narcotics," the ministry said in a statement.'Dark Waters'
Jesus Gutierrez Guzman is alleged to be the cousin of Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman, known as El Chapo, the leader of the cartel and Mexico's most wanted man.
Since escaping prison in 2001, Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman has run the Sinaloa cartel, one of Mexico's two most powerful drug-organisations, from a series of hideouts and safe houses across Mexico.
The joint operation against the cartel, dubbed Dark Waters, began in 2009. Officials said it was made possible thanks to agents using "the most modern research techniques", which had at all times been supervised by judges and prosecutors.
The ministry's statement said "the bulk" of the investigation was carried out in the United States.
The news caused a splash across Mexican media when it emerged that one of the suspects was linked to Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party or PRI, whose candidate won July's presidential election.
Rafael Celaya had applied to be a PRI candidate for federal deputy for the northern state of Sonora in the July poll, but was unsuccessful, according to the official party website.
A photo on Celaya's Facebook page also showed him standing next to incoming president Enrique Pena Nieto at a campaign event.
A PRI official said the party was looking into the matter and would release a statement on it later.
The Sinaloa cartel and its allies have been waging a brutal war against the paramilitary Zetas cartel across Mexico, often carrying out mass killings that have left hundreds of dismembered bodies dumped in public places.

Backup Standalone Restore To Multisite Virtual Subdomain

I haver a specific need and I want to verify if backup buddy can do it before I purchase.
I want to back up a single standalone wordpress site and then restore it to a wildcard virtual subdomain on a multisite.
So, www.fbchighlandheights.org will be backed up and then created by restoring to http://church.glossyidea.com.
The subdomain is virtual, not a true folder so I need to know if this is possible.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 10:05 AM
It maybe can, not entirely sure. BackupBuddy multisite functionality is currently in beta so that is something to take into consideration for production sites.

I love shopping. I also love Italian food, which comes as no surprise to anyone who has spent more than 30 minutes in my company. So it goes without saying that shopping for Italian food holds a special place in my consumer psyche.
It also explains my over-the-top reaction to the expanded footprint of one of my absolute favorites, Iavarone Bros. This specialty store, which operates four European-style markets in the New York area, has always been a "go to" shop for imported prosciutto, just-made mozzarella and fresh pasta and pignoli cookies. The store closest to me, however, was among the smallest. Sure, I braved the crowds and squeezed past other shoppers in the quest for a wedge of Grana Padano: The food was always worth it. Still, the experience left a bit to be desired.
Now the experience is as over the top as the food. The shop in New Hyde Park is about three times the size it used to be, and it's nothing short of a monument to Italian food and culture.
The deli and prepared foods section, situated in the center of the store, is enormous. There's at least 20 ft. devoted to an assortment of cheeses, and even more space dedicated to prepared foods. The area is so inviting that I watched several shoppers circle again and again, attempting to narrow their choices.
The produce area is reminiscent of a market in Italy, brimming with colorful fruits and vegetables. The bread and pastries section recalls the old world charm of Little Italy, and the butcher shop … don't get me started. I was cutting back on red meat and chicken until I saw the display. My husband couldn't stop grinning at the size of a porterhouse steak he picked out and the assortment of Italian sausage was pretty over the top too.
One of the features in this month's Executive Suite spotlights "stand-out" stores – retailers who are over-hauling their physical spaces in the pursuit of engaging with shoppers whose expectations have changed. In the case of CityTarget, the story is about a willingness to step outside of the traditional suburban set-up to cater to a growing base of urban shoppers – customers with different needs and sensibilities. Build-A-Bear recognized that as its young customer base grows more and more tech savvy, it was time to deliver an updated experience complete with engaging new technology. There's the Burberry store on Regent Street in London; experts hold this up as the pinnacle of where traditional retail needs to go.
At Iavarone, it's all about the experience: The wider aisles, the visual delights of a bounty of foods and the smells and samples come together to create an unforgettable shopping event. I can't wait to return, although I may have to curb my spending a bit. Total bill: $171.96 … and that was after my $10 coupon was processed.

New Jersey at Ottawa
PLAYOFF SERIES: Eastern Conference final; tied 3-3.
The Ottawa Senators have their exceptional team speed going and a rejuvenated Patrick Lalime in goal. Those attributes have them on the verge of overcoming a 3-1 series deficit and reaching the Stanley Cup finals for the first time.
The Senators look to complete their comeback and beat the New Jersey Devils in Game 7 as the Eastern Conference finals shifts back to the raucous Corel Centre.
The Senators may have deserved their reputation as a team that lacked mental toughness in the playoffs, given their 0-6 mark when facing elimination prior to this postseason.
Ottawa has gone a long way toward erasing that stigma in this series.
After keeping their season alive for the first time with a gritty 3-1 home victory in Game 5 Monday night, the Senators forced Game 7 in dramatic fashion Wednesday, as defenseman Chris Phillips scored 15:51 into overtime for a 2-1 victory at Continental Airlines Arena.
"Even when we were down 3-1, there was not one guy in our dressing room or organization that counted ourselves out," Phillips said.
Lalime is a major reason that his teammates kept their faith through three straight losses in the series. After allowing five goals in Ottawa's Game 4 defeat, he's given up two in the consecutive victories.
Ottawa's superior speed, which lifted the Senators to victory in Game 1, has also become a factor again. The Senators carried the play Wednesday, outshooting the Devils 34-31.
Marian Hossa's outstanding skating set up the winning goal, as the big forward carried the puck wide of the Devils' net on a rush, drawing New Jersey defenseman Scott Stevens and Colin White to him before passing to the front of the net.
Vaclav Varada was stopped twice by the Devils' Martin Brodeur as Varada tried to convert Hossa's pass, but Phillips darted in to finish the play and send the series back to the Corel Centre for Game 7.
That could be bad news for New Jersey. The Devils, who suffered their first home defeat in nine games this postseason, have lost twice in Ottawa in the series as the Senators have been spurred on by their loud and enthusiastic fans.
"We have to play one game. That's going to be the hardest game," said Hossa, who assisted on both Ottawa goals Wednesday. "We're going to be home and that's a good thing."
The playoff-tested Devils, though, apparently aren't feeling pressure.
"We're not disappointed at all," said Brodeur, who finished with 32 saves. "To be in a Game 7 to decide if we are going to go to the Stanley Cup or not, we'll take it any time against any team."
New Jersey, trying to reach the Stanley Cup finals for the third time in four years, has never lost a series it led 3-1.
The Devils' task will be made even tougher if veteran center Joe Nieuwendyk is limited in Game 7. Nieuwendyk, who scored the Devils' goal on a power play early in the third period Wednesday, had to be helped from the ice after the game due to an apparent knee injury.
However, he says he'll be ready to play.
"I'm ready to go. I feel much better today," Nieuwendyk said Thursday. "It's amazing what a day's rest can do."
History doesn't suggest an edge for either team Friday. Ottawa has an 0-2 Game 7 record, but both losses came on the road. New Jersey is 4-6 in seventh games, and 2-5 on the road.
The Senators are attempting to become the 20th team in NHL history—and fourth this postseason—to overcome a 3-1 deficit. The Devils are 8-0 when holding a 3-1 series lead, but they've never allowed it to reach a seventh game.
While the Devils are focusing on the opportunity to play one game for a berth in the Stanley Cup finals, The Senators are looking to their home crowd to give them one more emotional boost in the series.
"Why we got the Presidents' Cup is for tomorrow night," Senators coach Jacques Martin said. "That's the key. You want to have that seventh game here. We have the luxury of having our fans, the noise, the support, the energy. I think that's a big, big thing."
Whoever survives will meet the well-rested Anaheim Mighty Ducks, who haven't played since completing a sweep of Minnesota last Friday, on Tuesday night.
HOW THEY GOT HERE: Senators - 1st seed; beat New York Islanders 4-1, quarterfinals; beat Philadelphia Flyers 4-2, semifinals. Devils - 2nd seed; beat Boston Bruins 4-1, quarterfinals; beat Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1, semifinals.
PLAYOFF TEAM LEADERS: Devils - Jamie Langenbrunner, 7 goals; Scott Niedermayer, 10 assists, John Madden, 14 points; White, 23 PIM. Senators - Four with 5 goals; Hossa, 10 assists and 15 points; Chris Neil, 24 PIM.
PLAYOFF SPECIAL TEAMS: Devils - Power play: 16.4 percent (10 for 61). Penalty killing: 88.9 percent (48 for 54). Senators - Power play: 15.0 percent (12 for 80). Penalty killing: 91.5 percent (65 for 71).
GOALTENDERS: Devils - Brodeur (11-5, 4 SO, 1.60 GAA); Corey Schwab (0-0, 0.00). Senators - Lalime (11-6, 1, 1.75); Martin Prusek (no appearances).
REGULAR SEASON SERIES: Senators, 3-1. The Devils won the first meeting 2-1 in Ottawa on Oct. 10, but the Senators took the next three, outscoring New Jersey 12-6. Brodeur allowed 10 goals on 73 shots in the final three meetings.

I think I'll get Omega Ruby and my 19-year old sister will get Alpha Sapphire. I chose all three! I'm excited for everything!
Posted 11 June 2014 - 01:24 PM ( #3 )
I'll eventually get both versions to help me complete the Pokédex, but Alpha Sapphire will probably be my "main" game. Not only do I like the color blue over red, but AS has pirates! Gen III is the only generation I've never played much so I'm looking forward to these games a lot since everything in them will feel brand new to me.
Posted 12 June 2014 - 05:30 PM ( #4 )
Come to find out, both Ruby and Sapphire both need batteries. *face smack* I had to make a hard choice transferring to Diamond of the pokes that weren't on Diamond already. Xc I should do that...
Posted 13 June 2014 - 09:42 PM ( #6 )
The first Pokemon game I played was Emerald (also it's my favorite Pokemon game and Emerald is my birthstone lel) so I am extremely excited for this!
I guess it will make up for my lost
stolen Pokemon X... if only they remade Emerald pfft that's not going to happen
So pumped yoooooo

In 1912, Booker T. Washington approached Julius Rosenwald, a board member at Tuskegee Institute and President of Sears, Roebuck and Company, with an idea to build six small schools in rural Alabama. The effort sparked a program providing seed grants for the construction of more than 5,300 buildings in 15 states, including schools, shops, and teachers' houses built by and for African Americans. In 1954, when the Supreme Court ruled segregation in education unconstitutional, the schools became obsolete. Many Rosenwald Schools, once the pride of their communities, were neglected, abandoned, or demolished. In 2002, the National Trust named Rosenwald Schools to its list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.
National Significance
The Rosenwald School building program is recognized as one of the most important partnerships to advance African American education in the early 20th century. Despite the schools' historic significance, only a small percentage of Americans are familiar with the iconic structures and their impact on our nation's history.
Campaign Goals
- Educate Americans about the Rosenwald Schools, and inspire them to protect dozens more of the historic structures.
- Develop training workshops so that grassroots groups can manage and maintain Rosenwald Schools in their own communities.
- Develop resources for the preservation of Rosenwald schools.
Ways To Help

Excerpted from the Times and Democrat:
Washington asked Rosenwald if he would build six schoolhouses in rural Alabama to serve black communities where educational facilities were either substandard or nonexistent. Rosenwald agreed. In 2002, to heighten awareness of the threats to these historic resources, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Rosenwald Schools to its list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Since then, the National Trust for Historic Preservation formed the Rosenwald Schools Initiative, organizing a team to develop a plan for the preservation of Rosenwald schools.

Written by Dr. Jessie Carney Smith, Dean of the Library, Franklin Library, Fisk University
The Franklin Library at Fisk University announces the availability of two additional research collections on Julius Rosenwald and the rural Negro schools program. The S. L. Smith Collection consists of the records of Samuel Leonard Smith (1875-1956), who was administrator, architect, author, and educator, and covers the period 1869-2007. In 1920 Smith established and directed the Julius Rosenwald Fund Southern Office in Nashville, Tennessee, where he revised community school plans, and helped to establish over 5,358 Rosenwald schools and over 10,000 libraries. After the last Rosenwald School was built, the Eleanor Roosevelt School at Warm Springs, Georgia, Smith retired from the fund in 1937. The collection includes activities of the Rosenwald fund, correspondence from many prominent educators and prominent leaders, clippings, publications, reports, writings, and miscellaneous items related to the fund.
The Franklin Library also processed the Julius Rosenwald Fund Collection--Supplement No. 1-1918-1946. The supplement includes data on Rosenwald's life and work, correspondence, minutes, financial data, annual reports documenting aid to Negro schools (1940-42), and on a variety of subjects related to black people, including art, education, fellowships, politics, colleges and universities, housing, labor, hospitals, and health care professionals (medical, dental, and nursing). There are numerous blueprints, maps, and drawings of Rosenwald schools and hospitals. Many items in the collection are fragile.
Researchers who are interested in using the collections must contact Dr. Jessie Carney Smith, Dean of the Library, Franklin Library, Fisk University, Nashville, TN 37208, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. The finding aids are not currently available online.

Julia Bache, a sophomore at Kentucky Country Day School in Louisville, is working hard to earn the highest achievement in Girl Scouting – the Girl Scout Gold Award. Her project is concentrated on Rosenwald Schools. To date, she has written and presented a nomination for Buck Creek Rosenwald School for the National Register of Historic Places. Julia says, "at first, I thought the nomination process would be a straightforward history project, but I've also made some really nice connections and unexpected friendships with some of the former students, as well as with the owner of the school."
The Gold Award requires a seven-step project to solve a community problem or perform a public service. The final steps of the project require the incorporation of education and inspiration. As the education component of Ms. Bache's project, she is developing a Rosenwald School traveling exhibit for the state of Kentucky: Lessons From Rosenwald Schools: National Treasures. Julia plans to use oral histories she has collected through interviews with alumni of Buck Creek Rosenwald School in the traveling exhibit. "Before I started this project I had no idea that Rosenwald Schools even existed. Now I have the opportunity to tell others and want to make more people aware of these important places."

I'm Tracy Hayes, the National Trust's project manager for the Rosenwald Schools National Treasure. So far, 2012 has been exciting and busy for our team. Topping the list of highlights and milestones is a unique meeting of the minds that I'd like to dedicate this first post to.
After nearly a year's worth of planning with our partners in Alabama, we held the first National Rosenwald Schools Conference, 100 Years of Pride, Progress, and Preservation, at Tuskegee University – the place where the Rosenwald School movement all began. The 54 education sessions, documentary screenings, discussions, tours, and workshops delivered tailor-made information and support to groups saving and restoring historic Rosenwald Schools. Community groups, school alumni, Rosenwald and Washington descendants, historians, and preservationists comprised the more than 300 conference attendees representing 22 states. Speakers, including world-renowned poet, activist, and educator Nikki Giovanni, drew in local attendees to events open to the public, swelling attendance to over 400 by the closing session.
For those of us on the planning end, it was an extraordinary experience, worth every sleepless night and minute of overtime we put in to pull it off. But don't just take it from me; our conference attendees say it best:
"The atmosphere at the conference was one of great excitement and enthusiasm since so many attendees seemed to be alumni and/or those interested in saving a particular school. I also thought the range of topics, from bureaucratic process to Facebook/blog campaigns, were really interesting and more inclusive than your average conference."
"There is a rich heritage at Tuskegee that permeated the souls of many of us who were present."
"Such a wonderful spirit of camaraderie and support was present. The sessions were just the right mix of beginner and more advanced level – a nice balance of history and technical information, too."
"The things I learned at the National Rosenwald Schools Conference held at Tuskegee University were life changing. This was by far the best professional and personal development conference I have ever attended. The story of what Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington did for the world must be told."

I'm working with a non-profit organization preserving a Rosenwald school in Bemis, Tennessee. The school was built in 1916. Our hopes is to turn the building into a community center for the area of Bemis. We still have a lot of work to do. In order to get the building back to its original structure. This weekend with the help of volunteers, we removed an addition that was added to the building in 1969.

Greetings I am a member of St. Matthew Missionary Baptist Church of Raleigh NC and we have one of these schools on our church grounds I am interested in finding out more information on my school specifically. Please provide me with any information you may have. We are located in Wake Co. NC our school was built in 1922. I am a member of the restoration committee at church and interested in some historical data, it is one of the prototypical 2 room 2 teacher structures and is in need of some repair. Maybe some of the other contributors have some ideas about how to raise fund. Thank You.

Short Journey began as a one room, one teacher frame school building serving the African American community. The school received its name because it was only a "short journey" to Wesley Chapel Church, which still exists one mile east of Short Journey. The present building, completed in 1926, was made possible through the efforts of the Rosenwald Fund. The local community was successful in raising $500 to match the funding necessary to construct the new school. The school operated for forty-four years before closing with desegregation after the 1969-70 school year. Eva Cooper was principal for all forty-four years! In 1983, the Catholic Diocese of Raleigh purchased the facility to serve the needs of its youth, young adult and campus ministry programs.

Our Town, St. George, SC, has just purchased a six-teacher C.1925-26 Rosenwald School which has been neglected for decades. We have a State Senator, a State Representative, a County Council member and an Alumnus of the school on Boarde to help us. The Southern office of the National Trust has reached out to us (they have been trying to purchase the school for years) and a leading preservation architect is working with us. We will appreciate any advice, suggestions, shared experiences to guide us as we undertake this huge endeavor. This is one of only two school built in Dorchester County. The challenge is great, but our determination is greater. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 843-563-3032 or 305 Ridge Street/St. George, SC 29477

I have lived in Mitchellville, Maryland since 1978. There was an old wooden building with a lot of windows around the corner from my house. I thought that it might have been a storage building of some kind for the contractors who built the housing development in which I live. I didn't give it much thought when the building was torn down in the 1980s. I learned only last week from my elderly neighbor, the building was her school in the 1940s and 50s during segregation. My amazement turned to sadness. Why was this historic building and symbol not saved?
Dr. Edward L. Holmes on October 03, 2013
I attended the Parkers Ferry Elementary School from 1952-55? when the structure was closed and all students were transferred to Minnie Hughes Elementary School, Sughar Hill, SC. I recently found the former principal of that school still alive at the good age of 93. Ms Maud Adams Frazier. The other teachers; Helen Howard and Mrs Bryant, are now deceased. I have wonderful memories of the Parkers Ferry Elementary School.
Bernice Jackson on October 01, 2013
I would like to see this school building restored back to the point of construction in 1924 - I believe with the research that has been done over several years, this school may well be one of the Rosenwald school. In 1924, the only documented Rosenwald school building in Cave Spring, GA. is erectedon Padlock Mountain. James B. Atwater is appointed by the Floyd County Board of Education as the first principal of the new school.
Melvyn Gillette on August 16, 2013
I am a 1957 graduate of Peake High School which is located in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. It is now recognized as a Rosenwald school, but during my time there we did not hear about Rosenwald schools. Our school has been refurbished and will be used for some elementary grades. I was "back home" a few weeks ago and toured the school and it was exciting to see the changes, although some of us longed for the good old days.
Carol White on May 29, 2013
I am Carol White, the great-grandaughter of John White of Forrest County, MS. He and Mr. Rosenwald opened the John White School and Teacher's home in 1927 in Maxie, MS. I am currently working on a film about the impact this accomplishment had on our family. I would also love to hear from anyone else who has a connection to or attended the John White school. I have uploaded a photo of my great-grandfather that was given to me by my father before he died (my father and his siblings attended the school).

Over the past 4yrs I and my research partner have worked to save a 2rm school in Jefferson Cty,MS. When starting the research we found the school on the Fisk Univ.List. During the research process we found that the $'s set aside was stolen by the superintendent of Negro Schools. The school is currently still standing but is in need of serious repairs. We are considered a Rosenwald Ghost School because the needed changes were not made due to the theft. We are in the process of trying to raise $150,000. to restore this most historic structure.

Julius Rosenwald was an exceptional person to see the need for the African American people. Even though legislation was passed and you were supposed to educate African American children, there was no one to enforce the law. So I think it's important for children to learn more about the Julius Rosenwald Foundation and the schools that are still standing – and even the ones that have been torn down – just to get the history. Everyone should look at education and where we came from.
Bennie Boyd on June 29, 2012
The Brooklyn Rosenwald,constructed in 1928-1929 school may be the only Rosenwald School still standing in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. It was built near on land adjoining Brooklyn CME church in Chesnee, South Carolina in the rural northeastern part of Spartanburg county. The church gained ownership of the school and maintained it for many years until 2009 when the church no longer had the money to make repairs. The roof in caving in and rain poors through the roof. An effort was made two years ago to try to get the school on the National Historic Register and get emergency aid to repair the roof but there was resistance. We need help. The church has no money to maintain the school building. If nothing is done this national historic treasure will be lost to Spartanburg county and the nation forever.
Brent Leggs, Boston, MA on June 09, 2012
Traveling to central Kentucky to visit my grandmother, I remember passing old, wooden school houses in need of a fresh coat of paint, weeds removed from their interiors, and at least 1,000 prayers to bring life back to them. But when I realized these schools were Booker T. Washington's vision for educating blacks following Reconstruction, they became testimonials. Each place had a story. These structures began communicating the power of education for removing racism and inequalities in America. When I see these places, I try to imagine how a man born into slavery could become the first African American invited to the White House, establish a premiere academic institution (Tuskegee University), write his own autobiography, and help to build over 5,000 schools in 15 southern states. I hope they are all saved, so the next generation of Americans can be inspired to make a difference in their communities.
Frederick Calhoun James, Prosperity, SC on June 09, 2012
The greatest days of my life were at Howard Junior High School in Prosperity, SC. Those were my days of discovery. The days of my impression making with regards to anything that was important later in my life.
T. Hall, Pomaria, SC on June 09, 2012
I've been involved with the Hope School, a two-teacher Rosenwald School built in 1925, all my life. When I was a child, I remember St. Paul's AME church next door was a historic building also, but they tore it down. I couldn't do anything about it because I was five or six years old. But, I just thank God he put it back upon my heart to try to save the Hope School. I just feel so great. I am so excited every day when I talk about it. I feel I did something for the community and I want to give back to the community. When people call to use the school to have a graduation dinner, or anything, it makes me feel good inside because I love doing this work for the community.

The most important variable is judging just how to prioritise new developments in and amongst existing business best practice to maximise the possibility of any individual page
The Challenges for an SEO Agency in 2011 - From Social Networking to Google Prompt The most important variable is judging just how to prioritise new developments in and amongst existing business best practice to maximise the possibility of any individual page in addition to the overall ranking capabilities of the entire site or portfolio of internet sites. This informative article discusses a number of the new developments that influence search engine optimisation and the challenges that each one of these present to any seo agentur agency; including recent social media announcements, the launch and future implications of Google Instant and the impact of the marketing power station battle of Google & Bing for market share in the search arena. Firstly, the introduction of Google Instant a year ago sent shockwaves throughout the network, but SEO agency executives were not taken by it and in - house employees long to turn the development for their advantage and get on the opportunities. This trend is likely to carry on in to 2011 with the use of Google Instant to corroborate search patterns from the ideas that Google instantaneously jumps to as each individual letter is typed by you becoming ever more important. Google were also quite active in terms of the announcements which they put out by the end of this past year, leading to new implications for 2011. Perhaps the biggest of these was the announcement that it was in the habit of taking Twitter & Facebook links into account through its ranking algorithm. If formerly some companies had been reticent to take on Twitter & Facebook accounts in the past for whatever reason, they will have a new critical reason to get on the social media bandwagon. Simply by perhaps not being active on social networking sites, they may be leaving themselves at a strategic disadvantage to competitors which are more prominent on Twitter & Facebook. This can make a highly effective social media management strategy an absolute essential in 2011, if it was not already. As well as this, Google also declared that its search algorithm was at the mercy of a lot more frequent change than was formerly assumed. With the data now that Google tests and amends its algorithm daily, search engine optimization service executives and in-house internet search engine optimisation specialists need to be in front of the pace a lot more than before. Examining and reanalysing SEO data should turn into a daily occurrence for them too if they are to ensure that top ten listings are stable and maybe not just subject to fluctuations searching algorithm. The degree of interaction between SEO specialists will also have to be high to fairly share most useful new and practice interpretations throughout a mutually beneficial community. As an SEO agency that would be favoured by a development over smaller in - house teams or individuals this may be seen. Finally, there is the ever present looming possibility of the Bing/Yahoo search coalition which has pumped important marketing budget behind their attempt to muscle in on Google's online market share. Significant shift will be only taken one by it, while this has been largely ineffective in 2010 and the game would change entirely to a more significant two horse race. Possibly the largest impediment to growth for both Bing and Yahoo has been the general lack of confidence in their search algorithm in the community. If in 2011 their search results unexpectedly improve somewhat due to algorithm improvements, or if more confidence is embedded by their marketing messages in their search then a significant impact could be seen by them on market share over night. The ever present nature of it implies that search engine optimization specialists have to be well versed in Bing and Yahoo ranking positions that are effected by the different ranking variables, while this remains a slender bet. This is combined with the truth that on some key words the gains in return on investment could be much more dominant in Bing or Yahoo than with Google. 2011 will without doubt be yet another exciting year for SEO agencies and executives. How they cope with the ever changing goalposts is likely to be the biggest defining variable in their success throughout the year. For a diverse info on the issue, you can begin by Visit This Link.

Is liberal Catholicism dead?
Paul Moses May 5, 2008 - 10:00am
Commenting Guidelines
Sean said: I am tolerant of homosexuality because I would take no action, including outlawing homosexual behavior. But if we refuse to act against the horror of abortion, arent we in fact tolerating it?Jean asks: If you wish to take no legislative action against homosexuality, which the CCC calls a grave sin, why is it wrong not to take legislative action against abortion?I expect your response would be (as implied above) that abortion is not only a sin but a crime.I would agree with that in some, even most cases. But I also see some medically gray areas that won't allow me to embrace an absolutist view on this issue. It is the sticking point over which I feel I cannot, in good conscience, call myself Catholic anymore. That leaves the church smaller but more faithful--a good thing, according to Donohue and others.Win-win, no?
It's not for me to tell folks about their affiliation, but I'm deeply saddened by Jean's last paragraph. And ther eare others who post here who say they've left the church, but whose posts reflect a terrific Catholocity.I agree that Joe Gannon's post on keeping balance was on target and Bernard's post on the importance of searching out the truth as a continuing (I'd say lifelong) proicess is quite germane.It strikes me that the job of being Catholic is hard enough: trying to love Christ and follow his way every day-trying to influence others, especially by showing love and truly listening;-grappling with a world that easily slips into persobnal "spirituality" or gives up on God altogether.Those struggles are not .helped by the all knowing spinmeisters of faith (like Mr. Donahue in the newest threadI'd just like to add I found Cardinal Martini's article in America on living the faith in our post modern world to be both broad minded and spiritual and embarcing a broad view of Church on the (prayerful) search.
Once you introduce a false assumption, the Truth gets distorted. The Catholic Church is a Theocracy, not a Democracy. We are all called to be servants of the Word Made Flesh as He Has revealed Himself to His Church. The Truth is revealed in The Deposit of Faith that has been handed on to the Apostles and their successors through the inspiration of a special Gift of Grace from The Holy Spirit, the Powerful Union of God's Great Love and His Great Mercy. ("I will not leave you orphans") This is a Truth of the Catholic Church, His Church. The Truth of the Way we are to Love one another as He Has Loved us. Only Good can come from God's intention for Love. Peace.
Nancy, I'm not sure what to make of most of your comments. Perhaps you'd care to identify what false assumption has been introduced? Or who has denied that the Church is the repository of True Teaching? Or perhaps you're simply parading your orthodoxy for the rest of us to admire?The discussion is how you respond to the Truth--and whether your response is sufficient to sustain your place at the Table. Which I presume mine is not, so I'm not there anymore, though I still take the Church seriously and struggle to be better.
Jean, how am I "parading" orthodoxy by stating that the Catholic Church is a Theocracy? We are all called to follow Christ. The Deposit of Faith has been entrusted to His Church. This Truth of the Church is the same Truth yesterday, today, and always. The false assumption is that the Catholic Church is some sort of Democracy where we get our own vote to determine what is Truth. We have been given the Gift of Truth through the Life and Death of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who is with us now, as always. We simply need to Believe. That is all. (everything)
P.S. Christ, The Truth, The Word Made Flesh, is absolute. He is not a matter of opinion. You respond to the Truth by being United to the Truth with Love. "If you Love Me , you will keep My Commandments." To be Catholic, one must enter into a Loving relationship with God.
Clearly, you have no point to add in my exchange with Sean about a correct and practical response to the church's teaching about abortion. Your interjections strike me as so much recycled bits of apologetics designed to add I know not what to the conversation. You puzzle me entirely, whatever you're trying to accomplish by this puzzles me entirely.Good day to you.
The Church's teaching on abortion is to be believed and respected as the Truth. It is not open for debate. One does not debate a Truth. I am sorry that you are so puzzled because I am faithful to the Magisterium of His Church. I Believe, that is all.(everything) I am more puzzled that you are so puzzled. He never told us that it would be easy, He only told us that it would be worth it. Peace to you.
I don't know what to call that form of Catholicism that leads to a surfeit of capital letters. Capitalism?Anyway, back to the original article, there is a tendency among American journalists to treat Catholics as though we were arranged in teams wearing jerseys, where one "wins" and another "loses" (probably because they report on politics this way all the time). Among ourselves though, is this any way to talk about Christ's church? The body has many members... Indeed, the purpose of saying one group or another is "dead" seems to me to be an attempt to bully people into silence, and I would submit that this is wrong and wrong-headed both. Time magazine may have no scruples about this, but that doesn't mean it's a fitting way to consider the situation.I have the same gripe about "liturgy wars." What are we doing, talking about a war? I think we are pretending that we can vanquish people with whom we disagree. Maybe that works in politics. It ain't that simple in the church, or so I would like to think. Charity first, charity always comes first. Or have we forgotten that, in our thirst to be right all the time?Where are my fellow Catholics going to go when they've been told they "lost" some sort of war or -- worse! -- that they are "dead"? Will someone come and take away their baptism? Will we introduce swipe cards at communion, coded for conservative orthodoxy, to be sure no one receives who "has issues" with any church teaching? The liberal or progressive Catholics (call them what you will) whom I know would be very surprised to hear that they have been part of a "rebellion," when all this time they thought they were remaining faithful. Benedict has not swept these people away. What the article is implying, by saying that he has, is that we can afford to discount these people now. I don't believe it.
Rita, a nice thoughtful post. Thanks. You ask, "Where are my fellow Catholics going to go when theyve been told they lost some sort of war or worse! that they are dead?"I think the Time article has part of the answer--they ignore church teaching on some issues or shop for another Church. The writer ignroes the many lapsed Catholics who retain some Catholic identification and find it difficult to "turn Protestant" after being Catholic (or, in my case, to "go back" to the Anglo-Catholics). It feels like a step backward.Luckily, we have Nancy to bonk us over the head with exhortations to shut up, stop thinking, and get back in line. No thanks.
With all due respect Jean, I am simply stating the Truth of the Church that Christ Has Founded. Christ has only one voice. The Word is consistent. He did not come to confuse us. He did not say that there are many Ways. There is only one way to Perfect Love, His Way. We acknowledge the Truth of our Faith everytime we recite the Creed:I(We) believe in one, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church...I am not asking anyone to stop thinking. I am simply stating that His desire is that we are speaking in one voice, His voice. To do that, we must be Faithful to the Magisterium of His Church. Peace.

City Officer Shot in East Baltimore
Updated: Saturday, March 15 2014, 02:11 AM EDT
An off-duty Baltimore City Police officer is in critical condition after being shot in his truck in east Baltimore.
Police say the incident happened at around 7 p.m. in the 1900 block of Bel Air Road near North Avenue. The officer was sitting in his personal vehicle when someone approached and fired several shots into his car. The officer was struck multiple times.
"The officer, from all indications, was a bystander," said Deputy Police Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez.
The officer was taken to Shock Trauma where he is "stable for now, his condition is absolutely critical," said Doctor Thomas Scalea.
Police say witnesses have provided a "sketchy" description of the suspect and are waiting to release information until they get a more exact description.
When asked about the officer, Rodriguez said, "This has hurt us tremendously…he is a beloved long-time member of this department."
Police say they are not identifying the officer at this time.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake did meet with the family of the officer. She thanked the staff at Shock Trauma and asked for prayers for the officer.
The mayor ended her speech by saying, " We all know that Baltimore deserves better than this type of violence."
