Jesuit Novices Profess First Vows as Commitment to the Society
A Jesuit novice spends two years at the novitiate for the first stage of Jesuit formation, culminating in his profession of First Vows: poverty, chastity and obedience. This August, 22 Jesuit novices in the United States professed these vows at Masses around the country, signifying their commitment before God to enter the Society of Jesus to serve the church.
Five novices professed their vows at Holy Cross Church in DeWitt, N.Y.; nine novices at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Grand Coteau, La.; two novices at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in St. Paul, Minn.; and six novices at St. Joseph Church in Seattle.
During each Mass, the Jesuit novices professed their vows just before Communion. "Each one comes up and kneels before the Body and Blood of Christ and makes that profession — just as St. Ignatius and his companions did," said Jesuit Father Fred Pellegrini, a vocation promoter for the Maryland, New England and New York Provinces.
The First Vows are significant in a Jesuit's life. As Fr. Pellegrini explained, "It's a public commitment to the Lord and to the Society of Jesus. And the Society is accepting that, and the commitment is there on both sides."
For the past two years leading up to First Vows, the Jesuit novices have taken classes, participated in local ministries and lived in Jesuit communities. They have also embarked on pilgrimages, performed community service and completed the Spiritual Exercises — a 30-day silent retreat developed by St. Ignatius.
"Completing the Spiritual Exercises is the most important and significant experience for the novices," Fr. Pellegrini said. "Everything afterward flows from that experience of the Spiritual Exercises — the offering of yourself to the Lord and confirming that in different ways. From working in a hospital to teaching children, it all comes out of the experience of the Spiritual Exercises and the relationship with Jesus."
For Jesuit novice Tucker Redding, the community service experiments revealed a breadth of Jesuit ministries that will inspire his studies.
"With each new experience, I have found that instead of being drawn to a particular field or ministry, my interests have only grown wider and deeper," Redding said. "I look forward to spending my life in the Jesuits, discovering new interests and talents and using them for the greater glory of God."
Following the profession of First Vows, Jesuits usually begin two years of graduate-level philosophy studies, followed by one year of graduate-level theology study.
Jesuits Weigh In on Millennial Generation Vocations for The Atlantic
Several Jesuits recently spoke about vocations for The Atlantic, including Jesuit Father John O'Malley, Jesuit Brother Jim Siwicki, Jesuit Danny Gustafson, and entering Jesuit novice Matt Ippel. The four Jesuits were interviewed for an online article written by Emma Green, a 2012 graduate of Georgetown University, about those in the millennial generation entering religious life.
Regarding the effect of Pope Francis' election on vocations in millennials, Jesuit Father John O'Malley said he was unsure of any long-term effects at the moment. "I must say, however, that I am a little optimistic," he added.
Jesuit Danny Gustafson, 24, recently completed first vows at the Jesuit novitiate in Syracuse, N.Y., and offered some insight from a millennial's point of view. "It's been a great feeling of connection with the hierarchy, if for no other reason than because there's a shared formation that Pope Francis has that I'm going through right now. Knowing that the same spirituality that speaks to me speaks to the pope — I find [it] very humbling, but also very encouraging," Gustafson said.
"The majority of my family on my father's side are not Catholic," said 22-year-old Matt Ippel, one of the newest members of the Society of Jesus after entering the novitiate at St. Paul, Minn., this month. "Sharing my upcoming plans, they've all been very excited and shown an immense amount of support, but they've also talked a lot about Pope Francis — the way [he] has conducted himself in his conversations, his addresses, his homilies."
According to CARA, the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University, 12 percent of male and 10 percent of female non-married Catholic survey respondents over the age of 14 considered becoming a priest, nun or religious brother or sister "at least a little seriously." Jesuit Brother Jim Siwicki, vocation director for the California Province of the Society of Jesus, commented on the novices' motivations. "There's a strong desire for a sense of community, both local and global," he said. But "the thing that's difficult that I see with millennials is that they want to keep all options open. It's not a lack of interest — it's that fear of making a commitment."
Twenty-two-year-old Ryan Muldoon, a recent Georgetown graduate who is entering the seminary of the Archdiocese of New York, described the concept of discernment. "This isn't really a decision that anybody makes of their own volition. This really does stem from a deeper calling — a call by God and a response by an individual," he said. [The Atlantic]
Jesuit Leading Santa Clara University Solar Decathlon Team to Victory
Jesuit Father Jim Reites started out as an engineering student at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, but meeting the Jesuits his senior year changed his career path. Instead, he joined the Society of Jesus and became a professor of religious studies at Santa Clara University in California. In a nod to his former career path, Fr. Reites is now making headlines as the adviser of Santa Clara's Solar Decathlon team.
The United States Department of Energy sponsors the Solar Decathlon every two years, in which teams from schools worldwide compete to build the most efficient, livable and beautiful solar home. Santa Clara's teams finished in third place in both 2007 and 2009, besting many bigger, better-funded universities. Students credit Fr. Reites as a large reason for their success, and the 2013 solar decathlon team is currently working on their next entry at the Santa Clara campus.
"I've never seen him down in spirits or tired," said Santa Clara junior Brian Grau. "He's always ready to work whether it's actually doing physical labor all day long or helping us with the design."
Fr. Reites may be 75 years old, but he is teaching young Santa Clara students plenty about technology. Additionally, Fr. Reites brings his love of science to his position as chair of the Religious Studies Department at Santa Clara. "The very first personal computer in a department on campus was in the Department of Religious Studies," said Fr. Reites. "And I built it from a kit." His do-it-yourself attitude led the university to ask him to become the Solar Decathlon team adviser.
Tim Hight, professor of mechanical engineering and faculty project leader for the Solar Decathlon team, said Fr. Reites "always seemed to be around when something needed to be done and outworked most of the team in terms of energy and enthusiasm. His understanding of so many aspects of the house, whether electrical, plumbing or controls, means that he knows how the whole house works and how to fix it if it doesn't."
According to Fr. Reites, building a solar house is right in line with the Jesuits' mission. "It's engineering with a mission, a real mission to make the world a better place." [NBC Bay Area, Santa Clara University]
Behind the Scenes: Catching Up with The Jesuit Post on Jesuit Father Adolfo Nicolás
By Doris Yu
Against the backdrop of MAGIS and World Youth Day 2013 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, National Jesuit News sat down with Jesuit scholastics Eric Sundrup and Sam Sawyer, associate editors of The Jesuit Post, to talk about their experience interviewing Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Jesuit Father Adolfo Nicolás. Sundrup and Sawyer took the opportunity to interview Fr. Nicolás during his appearance at MAGIS at Colégio Antônio Vieira, the Jesuit high school in Salvador, Brazil.
Speaking about his impressions of Fr. Nicolás, Sundrup said, "It's very clear Fr. General speaks profoundly and in great depth. … When he talks to Pope Francis, he talks to him like he talks to any other Jesuit. I think he did the same thing with me and all of us that were present for the interview. He just talks to us like he would talk to any other Jesuit. "
Sawyer said, "I think what strikes me about him is, more than some particular program or strategy for the Society, what he has is a very clear sense of what we need to pay attention to, and he keeps calling us to pay attention to it."
Sawyer added about Fr. General's dry sense of humor, "We laughed a lot when we got to talk to him off-camera and we got to interact with him that way."

Jesuit Highlights Consequences of Budget Cuts for Native Americans
The New York Times recently reported that sequestration cuts are hurting Native American communities, including the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where the Jesuits have served since 1888. Jesuit Father George Winzenburg, president of Pine Ridge's Red Cloud Indian School, spoke to The New York Times about the sense of resignation that has set in on the reservation.
"It's one more reminder that our relationship with the federal government is a series of broken promises," Fr. Winzenburg said. "It's a series of underfunded projects and initiatives that we were told would be funded to allow us to live at the quality of life that other Americans do."
According to reservation officials and residents, the poverty trap that has plagued the reservation for generations will likely be exacerbated by recent developments in federal policy. When budget cuts went into effect on March 1, many programs were exempted that benefit low-income Americans, but virtually none of the programs aiding American Indians were included on that list, reported The New York Times.
"Imagine how people feel who can't help themselves," said Robert Brave Heart Sr., executive vice president of Red Cloud Indian School. "It's a condition that a lot of people believe is the result of the federal government putting them in that position, a lot of people are set up for failure. People have no hope and no ability whatsoever to change their fate in life. You take resources that they have, that are taken away, it just adds to the misery."

64 Tasting Notes
tried it twice so far in the usual 180 ml duan ni pot.
first time was outdoors on hot day with a 5-6 g piece from center of cake using spring water.
second time was in office with filtered tap and using un-weighed piece towards outside of the cake.
first session:
1.first few steeps were very floral.
2. first few steeps had a milky color.
3.dry leaves after first rinse smelled like night queen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyllum_oxypetalum
4.sensation of strong wave of fresh energy coursing through upper body immediately upon first sip.
none of the 4 characteristics above occurred during the second session.
Going to experiment more with this one and will update results here.UPDATE: tried again in glass pot. none of the milky color or floral aroma of first session. this one is is still young for my tastes. hoping that a few hot humid israeli summers will mellow out the cake and bring out some riper flavors. Ever since I sampled a few 12+ year old shengs I am not in a hurry to drink anything younger.
EDIT: after experimenting a bit more with this tea, my conclusion is that the flavor/aroma are too light for my tastes. On the plus side, it has a certain amount of qi to it. I will put the rest of the cake aside for to age for another few years and hope for the best.
Predominant characteristic of this tea is a fresh, clean, sweet, pastry dough aroma and flavor. Very pleasant aroma indeed. Good thickness and mouthfeel.
Seems to have practically zero caffeine.
I am not feeling any cha qi on this one. No obvious body sensations or noticeable change in mind state. Just a pleasant smooth sweet clear gentle drink.
EDIT: having experienced it some more, I would say this tea induces a subtle feeling of well being. There is a long lasting feeling of having consumed a delicious pastry, without the full stomach or sugar effects.
I tried it a few times gong fu style short steeps.
last night I experimented with the following system:
4 grams to approx 180 ml. no rinse.
I guess I steeped it for around 30s 30s 50s 40s 5min.
3rd steep was too strong and the 5th was weak.
this is the pot I used: 225 ml yixing http://www.pu-erhtea.com/TeaDetails.aspx?TeaID=631
DELETEless than a minute ago
The more I drink this tea the more I like it. It feels nourishing to the body and has other pleasant effects that are hard to describe. In has the wholesome good pure life energy that can be felt when kneading whole wheat dough.
This morning I tried it with quick rinse then 3,3,3,5,7,10,15.
100-120 ml to 4.6 grams. This has given me the best results so far. last infusion was weak. will try a 30 sec final infusion next time.
I think I read a review from you about a sheng on the Essense of Tea site. Your thoughts are always insightful…
Thanks Charles.
you might want to get a few grams of this stuff before it runs out http://www.essenceoftea.co.uk/tea/puerh-tea/1992-da-ye-loose-leaf-sheng-puerh.html
Essence of the are some of the most through tea vendors I have come across. If you read on their blog they actually test for pestecides on the mao cha they buy and even returned the leaves to one supplier because chemicals were detected at very low concentrations.
By the way I must have not timed it right the first time. Last night tried exactly 4g in exactly 100ml water 3 seconds was too light. seems like it should be starting at around 10-20 seconds as described on the awazon website
I have purchased from them. I bought a whole cake of the 2012 Bulang which is superb. I may take your advice and buy the '92. There is a new maocha single tree which they say is very special that I am also considering….
Just finished off the last 4 grams of the '92 da ye loose leaf. Very prominent camphor qualities, sparkling texture and calming qi. In Later steepings the camphor fades to reveal distinct wood qualities. Its got some musty storage notes, which I don't mind.
seems like another place to get good old tree sheng is awazon.
I just sampled this $20 cake over the weekend:
Its got some potent qi and floral aroma.
sweet and fruity
Beautiful cake glistens with shiny silverish golden buds. Distinct, whole leaves are easy to pry apart, as expected from a stone pressed production.
Review is based on a few sessions using approx 6g/100-150ml water in 180ml duan ni pot.
Dry leaves in warmed pot exude a strong ripe fruit aroma. Certainly the most intensly fruity sheng I have come across. Sweet, golden infusions with a tangy apricot/orange character with a slight hint of tobacco and honey. It's somehow more like a phoenix dan cong oolong than a pu er.
Clean and crisp with zero smokiness/storage smell. There is some astringency with longer steeps.Seems to have a gentle qi and to be relatively low in caffeine. It does not appear to deliver as intense a shift in awareness and body sensations, and is not as not as thick/rich/complex as the better (older and pricier) shengs I have tried. All factors considered, In its age and price range I would say its solid choice.
In summary, this is a sweet, tasty, clean, very drinkable sheng. A great everyday tea and a sure bet for those used to sweet drinks and who are new to pu erh. I wonder if it will develop more qi, complexity and thickness as it ages.
I just received a shipment from YS that has a sample of a 2010 Hai Lang Hao "Cha Wang" that is from what I've read absolutely intense. At $210.00 a cake it better be…
been enjoying this one very much. It brews best in my burt duan ni clay pot from yunan sourcing which oddly enough looks exactly like the one in the picture.
The aroma of wet leaves for first several infusions is rich and deep.
Using min 15 sec steeps with 90 + water 100 ml/5g yields satisfying earthy brew.
It seems to last for about 5-7 solid infusions and then thins out on a steep curve.
If you keep the temp high and pot warm then there is no silty effect as I mentioned before.
Although I am sure there are more complex shengs out there, I think this one is a good purchase. If you want earthy coffe-like sheng this is probably for you.
Compared to 99 menghai the latter is more nuanced in flavor and aroma, and with a sparkling, (yet less robust) character.
tried this one again using 3 grams 200 ml boiling water 1.5 min steep (as directd on website buth half grams/ml)
It seems to be at its best brewed this way. Good for perhaps 3 steeps.
It was not that pleasant in the past when I tried a strogn brew using a big chunk with approx 80 ml water.
I am not particulalry fond of this one. will probably drink it mixed it with some low priced sheng I have on the shelf (fu lu yuan by royaslpuer.com)
on camping trips and other occasions where I dont want to risk misbrewing high end tea.
glass pot, 6 grams, approx 150 ml mineral water
90+ degrees 3-5+ sec infusions.
very distinct ginger flower aroma. flavor and aroma are one and the same.
sweet. no dryness or astringency. vaporous quality. highly aromatic and pleasant.
One of my favorites teas by far.
broken up cake has been sitting paper canister for 2 days now.
Was easy to pry open with a makeshift pu erh pick made from a filed broken tipped screwdriver. (how romantic) resulting in only 5g of broken leaf+ dust.
dropped a 7g chunk plus a few loose leaves in glass pot, filled to approx 200ml each time.
washed the tea with probably 80deg water and let sit for a few min.
this time the initial warmed leaf aroma was not as stunning as on the first encounter with this tea , perhaps due to the fact that a large chunk rather than more broken up pieces was placed in a pot that was probably not as warm.
enjoyed several good infusions well received a group of five. smooth, well rounded, nice richness and depth. not an explosion of flavor and aroma yet certainly complex and satisfying.
I did my best to brew this one as described: 7g in 200ml for 1 min, 45 sec, then longer steeps with higher temps.
my friend quickly exclaimed that it tastes, oddly enough, like chicken soup.
It does indeed have a deep mineral salty aspect, and creaminess that suggest chicken soup – with wheatgrass.
smells like fresh grass- very vegetal as expected for a sencha.
after drinking several cups I fely very refreshed, cleansed, surprisingly keen and alert – as if my vision has become sharper and more focused.
very excellent re-set effect – like being reborn into the present moment. an excellent tea to restore yourself around 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. on a workday.
no negative 'cold stomach' low oxidized tea effects detected.
The distinguishing characteristics of this tea in comparison with other greens is the salty richness of it. gives the tea a deep, nourishing quality.
Sounds like you had a good l-theanine effect with this tea as well as a nice caffeine boost. Delicious tea for the afternoon!
This is it: a pre 2000 sheng with wonderful aged character at approx 22 cents per gram.
aroma of dry leaves in warmed pot is simply fantastic and meets my expectations what aged pu er should smell like:
musty but not dusty or moldy, with undertones of tobacco, wood, earth, tangy aged fruit (menghai character?) and a vaporous velvety character.
now the challenge is to bring out this aroma and flavor as much as possible in the actual infusions.
I tried it once with approx 7 grams in about 120 ml 20 second steeps.
and once again with about 3g of broken leaf 100ml 1 minute steeps.
the second time it was more hearty, savory, and creamy. notes below are from first session.
balanced, plesant cha qi:
smooth and comforting to the stomach, and after initial warmth and slight sweating on first 2 infusions, there is a cooling sensation in the outer regions of the upper body. clear, stable mind, no jittery caffeine jolt.
flavor and aroma are a satisfying yet less intense version of the warmed leaf description above. if these can be intensified with proper brewing and/or ageing, then this could very well be an ultimate pu erh experience by my humble standards.
I love this tea and it is currently at the top of my re-order list.
If you live in Israel and want to try it drop me a line :)

Sprint Issues Statement Regarding AT&T / T-Mobile Deal
Article Comments 62
Mar 20, 2011, 9:41 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Sprint has come forward with a statement regarding AT&T's proposed acquisition of T-Mobile USA. "The combination of AT&T and T-Mobile USA, if approved by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC), would alter dramatically the structure of the communications industry. AT&T and Verizon are already by far the largest wireless providers. A combined AT&T and T-Mobile would be almost three times the size of Sprint, the third largest wireless competitor.If approved, the merger would result in a wireless industry dominated overwhelmingly by two vertically-integrated companies that control almost 80% of the US wireless post-paid market, as well as the availability and price of key inputs such as backhaul and access needed by other wireless companies to compete. The DOJ and the FCC must decide if this transaction is in the best interest of consumers and the US economy overall, and determine if innovation and robust competition would be impacted adversely and by this dramatic change in the structure of the industry." AT&T earlier today announced plans to acquire T-Mobile USA for $39 billion in a bid to become the nation's largest wireless provider.

Voluntary hospitals handled the financial pressures by becoming more aggressive, competitive, expansionary, profit-oriented, and income-maximizing. Access to health care became increasingly dependent on ability to pay. Some hospitals, faced with prospects of financial doom, merged with others; others fled to the suburbs where the payer mix was more favorable. This contributed to the growing problem of limited access to health care for the uninsured: the poor, the part-time worker without benefits, and the unemployed.
Currently, the voluntary hospital is a central part of the changing scene in health care delivery. The idea of "managed competition" is driving hospitals into health care networks. The tempo of competition among urban hospitals has become fierce as they strive to set up networks for managed competition. Insurance companies are prominently engaged in the struggle for a piece of the pie. Drug companies are resorting to novel strategies in order to maintain prized relationships with physicians and hospitals while the restructuring is under way.
A variety of influences is diminishing our society's traditional reliance on hospitals as independent entities:
increased dissatisfaction of the public and of major political figures with the high cost of health care and the major role played by hospitals and their administrative costs in the genesis of this difficult burden;
growing ability of and financial incentive for outpatient care to substitute for in-hospital care due to advances in medical management and technology (e.g., cardiac catheterization, renal dialysis);
less need for hospitalization because of the development of noninvasive technologies for diagnosis and treatment (e.g., CAT scanning, MRI, or ultrasound);
restructuring of health care (e.g., through HMOs, which discourage referrals to hospital-based specialists, and greater strictures on reimbursement by third-party payers);
development of new effective therapeutic agents (e.g., antibiotics for cystic fibrosis);
expanded use of living wills advance directives, which may limit interventions and expenditures for terminal disease; and
greater effectiveness of preventive measures (e.g., education for AIDS, vaccines).
As the United States prepares itself for health care reform, it is important to recognize that in addition to unmet needs (e.g., preventive medicine), the aging of the population will introduce additional needs and related ethical questions. For example, disability from dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and stroke, will require research into etiology, medications, devices, and suitable treatment environments. The major

Here comes the bride! Make your special day all the more memorable with these delicate mints. With their delicious, smooth texture and refreshing taste, it'll be easy to say ''I do.'' Set them out at the reception as a beautiful centerpiece or use them in party favors.
You can even pop one in your mouth before you walk down the aisle to make your first kiss as man and wife as sweet as the day you met. Their pristine, pearly coloring will match the white of any wedding and set your ceremony apart from any and all of the rest.
Used to fill mini mason jars (1.5 oz) for wedding favors. 10lbs of mints filled almost 125 jars! They are the perfect size and the best tasting mint ever!
I LOVE these mints! I initially used this for wedding favors. I have since used them in gift baskets for my church's sweetheart retreat. Very refreshing, slightly chewy and extremely minty. I highly recommend these mints for any occasion.
I put them in small metal tins with my business logo on them and handed them out at marketing events....they were such a hit!!! The slight chewiness makes them a little more special than a regular hard mint!!
This mint is the perfect mint to use as a favor. I'm using them to fill small containers for a 50th Wedding Anniversary. They have a thin hard coating and remind me of a mento:) Yum!
Pros: Love the mini size!
Love the mento quality!
Cons: I needed more than I thought to fill my boxes. I needed a total of 7.5 lbs. to fill 95 small square boxes.
The package came very well and was shipped early enough to be used and placed on the tables. The taste was good.
I'm using these mints to fill prescription bottles to hand out at health trade shows. They are just as described, shipped SUPER FAST, and taste great too :-)

Aliquippa preparing for Wyomissing's 'new' QB
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Mike Zmijanac and the Aliquippa coaching staff are spending plenty of time this week doing their due diligence watching tape of Wyomissing.
But what happens if the Spartans of the vast majority of their first 15 games aren't the same team — offensively, at least — as the one the Quips will face in the PIAA Class AA championship game Saturday?
Wyomissing (15-0) swept through to their sixth District 3 title and first appearance in a PIAA title game mostly on the strength of a strong running game within a Wing-T offense that set a school record for points.
But the Spartans broken open a tie game in the PIAA semifinals largely due to the arm of Corey Unger.
Unger was a record-setting passer who compiled more than 4,000 passing yards during his freshman through junior seasons at Fleetwood High School. He transferred to Wyomissing last school year but was ruled ineligible after Fleetwood alleged he transferred with athletic intent.
The one-year clock on Unger's ineligibility expired Dec. 1 — just in time for the PIAA playoffs.
"He's been with us all year, and he's going to play in college. He's a good quarterback," longtime Wyomissing coach Bob Wolfrum said. "It's tough to change after 13 weeks when you keep winning ... but we've been getting him ready to go, and he definitely adds another dimension to what we can show and do."
Adding an experienced quarterback like Unger to a team that already features Notre Dame recruit Alex Anzalone figures to make Wyomissing that much more dangerous when Aliquippa faces the Spartans at noon Saturday at Hersheypark Stadium.
"They were 13-0 without him," Quips coach Mike Zmijanac said. "That tells you something."
Also undefeated and outscoring opponents, 746-85, Aliquippa is after its third PIAA title. The 15-time WPIAL champion Quips (15-0) are in the PIAA championship game for the fifth time but first since 2003.
That arguably the premier Class AA program in the state had gone nine years between trips to Hershey serves only to underscore how difficult it is to advance to a PIAA title game.
"When you do this long enough, you recognize just how special this is," Zmijanac said.
No need to tell that to Wolfrum, who has been involved in coaching for 41 years — the past 26 as the head coach at Wyomissing — and has never coached in a PIAA championship game.
Wolfrum's teams have averaged nine victories per season, and he is a 10-time Berks Football League coach of the year.
With Unger eligible, Wyomissing is able to move all-conference receiver Joe Cacchione back to his given position. It also could open up more room for Anzalone, who has 1,404 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns in addition to being one of the top linebacker recruits in the country.
Anzalone is a captain for a team that projects to field an all-senior starting lineup.
Aliquippa's strongest class is its juniors, among whom are running backs Dravon Henry and Terry Swanson. Seniors such as quarterback Malik Shegog and lineman Devon Walker also have provided leadership.
"I'm so pleased with their character and with the way they represent themselves and the way they approach playing the game," Zmijanac said. "They have fun and they laugh — but they work hard. ... They know how to wear the uniform.
"(Getting to the PIAA championship) is the goal when you started in May. Most of the time, you don't reach that goal — but every once in a while, you do."

Hi All,
My wife has a Mickey Mouse watch we bought three years ago at Disneyland. It has a watchband consisting of mickey head links, with several rectangular clasp links to adjust for size. The issue is that the clasp has worn out, and last night she lost one of the clasp segments when it came undone on her. She dearly loves the watch, and I would prefer not to have to replace it with something else.
Does anyone know if this is something that can be easily remedied by a watch repair shop? I am concerned that it may be some sort of hard to find replacement part that may not be easily available.
I can provide further details/pics if neccessary.

Framed Art Print
The Pyreneesby Chris' Landscape Images Of Australia
Choose from a variety of frame styles, colors and sizes to compliment your favorite Society6 gallery, or fine art print - made ready to hang. Fine-crafted from solid woods, premium shatterproof acrylic protects the face of the art print, while an acid free dust cover on the back provides a custom finish. All framed art prints include wall hanging hardware.
The Pyrenees takes its name from the ranges in the north named by Major Mitchell in 1836 as they reminded him of the Pyrenees in Europe. Initially both areas were settled for the purpose of sheep and cattle grazing. There are still a number of the original homesteads in use today, some of which are open to the public, and still run as grazing properties. Some of the best wool growing country in Australia can be found within the Pyrenees.

Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville is playing host to puppet troupes from around the world this weekend at a free festival hosted by the public library.
Performances at the International Puppet Festival include an Argentinian puppeteer who creates complex shadow puppets using only her hands and a few simple props. There's also the object theater of France's Velo Theatre, in which a puppeteer/storyteller stays on stage and anything he picks up can be transformed into a puppet. And a Japanese troupe performs traditional Bunraku puppetry with a show called "Silent Poems."
The performances are free, but many require tickets due to limited seating. Half the tickets can be reserved in advance for a $2.50 handling fee. The other half are available at the library on the day of the show.

BELLINGHAM - Western Washington University Assistant Professor Jackie Caplan-Auerbach will present "Song of the Volcano - Volcano monitoring in the 21st Century" from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 5, at the Bellingham City Council chambers, second floor, Bellingham City Hall, 210 Lottie St.
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is offered as the second event of the annual Science and the UniverCity community science lecture series. It is sponsored by the WWU College of Sciences and Technology, the City of Bellingham, and, along with the other CST outreach programs, 'Wizards at Western" and the "Leaders in Their Fields," is also sponsored in part by a grant from the Cherry Point BP refinery.
Every day, about a dozen volcanoes are erupting somewhere in the world and others are exhibiting signs of unrest. Many of those volcanoes are near population centers, so it is critical that scientists identify and decode signs of impending volcanic activity. These precursory signals include tiny earthquakes that occur within the volcano as magma begins to force its way to the surface. Recording these earthquakes is the first line of defense in monitoring, and the best view into the processes occurring within the volcano. Recent improvements in seismic instrumentation have allowed researchers to study an increasingly wide range of earthquake signals, from exceptionally low frequencies to signals within the range of human hearing.
This wide variety of sounds provides unprecedented views into the internal structure and behavior of the volcano. However, the shaking of the ground produced by earthquakes is only one noise produced by volcanoes; they also generate sounds in the atmosphere. Although these sounds fall below the range of human hearing, they can be detected by infrasonic pressure sensors deployed on the flank of the volcano. In recent years, the field of volcano seismoacoustics has dramatically expanded, allowing volcanologists to use the "song of the volcano" to probe its internal structure and eruptive behavior.
Caplan-Auerbach's doctoral research from the University of Hawai'i focused on the seismicity of the Lo`ihi seamount, an underwater volcano. After completing her doctorate, she moved to Alaska where she spent five years working for the Alaska Volcano Observatory, investigating volcanic processes in part by studying the sounds made by erupting volcanoes. She moved to Bellingham in December 2005 to begin teaching at WWU; her research still focuses on volcano seismology, and recently she has been investigating background seismicity at Mt. Baker.
"We are pleased again this year to have the support of the City in our efforts to bring programs on important topics in science and technology to the Bellingham community. Furthermore, to have endorsement of our efforts, in the form of support for this series by the BP Corporation, is especially gratifying," said Arlan Norman, dean of the College of Sciences and Technology. "This is a program for the community, a program that we hope really contributes to the general understanding of many important and exciting topics in today's complex world of scientific and technological advances."
The next entries in the "Science" series, "Blessing or Curse? Our Local Seals in Bellingham and the San Juan Islands," will be presented later this spring by WWU Biology professor Alejandro Acevedo-Gutierrez.Caplan-Auerbach's presentation will also be taped and rebroadcast on Bellingham BTV 10.

This is the "Russell Brown technique" for creating masks based on the pixels in your image. I explain what masks are, how they work, and then I show you (quickly) how to make a mask that is based on the image you're working on.
This separates your picture into different sections and lets you change hue, saturation, and other nifty things separately for different parts of your image.

HP Printer Driver 1.1.1
Apple on Thursday unveiled HP Printer Driver 1.1.1, a set of updated printer drivers for a vast array of HP printers, weighing in at a total of 405MB.

The full HP Printer Driver 1.1.1 update is available for download through Apple's support website.


text: Went out to bash today only 3rd pack since I installed the 2400 pro sct set up. The power switch was acting retarded. System would power up acknowledge the 3s batt go 5 feet and shut off. Turn switch off and on it would go 5 feet and turn off. I would turn esc off and back on and system would not power up. Finally started working right . I have read of switch problems on the forums is there a better switch to install?

Challenge Cup: London Broncos defeat Bradford in fifth round
Last Updated: 10/05/13 10:43pm
Michael Witt: Scored a total of 13 points in the Broncos' win
Michael Witt played the starring role as London Broncos moved into the last eight of the Tetley's Challenge Cup with a 25-16 win over Bradford.
Witt scored a try, four conversions and a drop-goal as the Broncos claimed a quarter-final spot for the second season in a row.
But it was the Bulls, who thrashed the Broncos 46-20 in Super League a month ago, who threatened first as Elliot Kear was held up in the corner by the combined efforts of Dan Sarginson and Kieran Dixon.
A Bradford score was not long in coming though, with Jarrod Sammut scooping up a loose pass to skip over by the posts.
But the Broncos eventually got a foothold in the contest and opened their own account on on 13 minutes, Matt Cook taking a short pass from Craig Gower to muscle over.
London then took the lead on 24 minutes thanks to some magic from Dixon, the winger evading the clutches of would-be tacklers to race over from inside his own half.
Suddenly it was the Broncos exerting all the pressure and the hosts moved 18-6 up at half-time when Scott Wheeldon bulldozed his way over from close range.
Bradford threatened after the break, with Adrian Purtell having a try chalked off for a knock on, but handling errors and poor decision-making prevented the Bulls from closing the 12-point deficit.
The Londoners did look to nudge even further ahead on a rare foray forward on 63 minutes, only for Witt to see his drop-goal attempt drift just wide.
But Witt made up for that moments later as he bundled over the try-line after Gower's grubber kick through had eluded the Bradford defence.
Bradford did hit back when Nick Scruton barging over on 71 minutes but the charge came too late and Witt slotted over a drop goal at the other end.
Kear did cross for a late Bulls score in the corner in the dying seconds but it was no more than a consolation.

Second Life's in-game currency, called Linden dollars, can be earned in a variety of ways. Some people, for example, hold down virtual jobs on the site while others sell unique clothing styles. Linden dollars also can be exchanged for cold, hard cash on the company's own version of the stock exchange. One Second Life virtual-real-estate agent recently claimed to have become the game's first real-life millionaire.
The possibility of making real money from virtual creations is the subject of the latest episode of the BBC show The Money Programme, which is scheduled for broadcast on Friday. The episode features reporter Max Flint, who explores moneymaking options in a variety of online worlds--including Second Life and Lord of the Rings Online. The show will also be the first by the BBC to be broadcast simultaneously on traditional TV and within Second Life itself.
The Money Programme was first broadcast in 1966, and is a popular finance and business affairs TV show in the U.K., broadcast on the BBC2 channel. Its guests have included Britain's prime minister, Tony Blair, Virgin Group entrepreneur Richard Branson, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
This episode of The Money Programme can be seen at the Rivers Run Red Cinema in Second Life (coordinates 200, 123, 45) at 7 p.m., 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. British Summer Time.
Emma Boyes reported for GameSpot UK.

Towers Watson raises quarterly dividend, announces $300M share repurchase plan
Towers Watson announced that its Board of Directors has approved the purchase of up to $300M of the company's class A common stock and has terminated the existing share repurchase authorizations. Under this new authorization, the company will continue to offset share dilution as a result of stock based compensation programs and may make opportunistic repurchases of common stock from time to time through open-market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The amount and timing of any purchases will depend upon a number of factors, including the price and availability of the company's shares and general market conditions. No time limit has been placed on the duration of the share repurchase program, and it may be discontinued at any time. The company also announced that its Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly cash dividend of 15c per common share for the quarter ended June 30. This represents a 7% increase. The dividend is payable on or about October 15 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30.

Towers Watson investors are advised to take profits, Barron's says
After the announcement of a merger agreement with Willis Group (WSH), Towers Watson's (TW) recent stock price of around $129 may suggest traders believe a new bidder could emerge, Barron's contends in its 'The Trader' column. The publication notes that Towers is a rumored final bidder for Russell Investments, though it says such a deal "would add even more integration risk" and concludes that "we'd take [Towers] profits here."

Stocks end holiday shortened week lower after Greece defaults
Stocks on Wall Street began with a slide on Monday, but not as precipitous a drop as may have been feared, after Greece shut down its banks and announced it will put the concession deal offered by its creditors, and essentially its continued inclusion in the eurozone, up for a popular vote. The major averages regained a bit of their losses in the next two sessions as news regarding the Greek situation continued to dominate the headlines. U.S. markets are closed on Friday in observance of Independence Day, but investors will be returning to big news, for better or worse, following the referendum that is scheduled to occur on July 5. MACRO NEWS: In the U.S., the monthly nonfarm payrolls report showed the addition of 223,000 jobs, versus expectations for 233,000 jobs to have been added last month. The unemployment rate fell to 5.3% from the prior month's 5.5% rate. Factory orders fell 1.0% in May, which was larger than the expected 0.5% decline. The Conference Board's consumer confidence index rose to 101.4 in June from a revised 94.6 reading for May, beating expectations for a reading of 97.4. Markit's manufacturing purchasing managers' index for June came in at 53.6, narrowly above the 53.4 forecast. ISM's manufacturing index rose to 53.5 in June, topping May's 52.8 reading and the 53.2 consensus forecast. Construction spending rose 0.8% in May, versus the expected growth of 0.5%. Additionally, Puerto Rico's Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla, in an interview published by the New York Times, warned that the commonwealth's "debt is not payable" and a report warned that the territory's crisis was even worse than previously thought... In Europe, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called a surprise referendum on the terms put forth by the country's creditors in exchange for additional rescue funds and the country shut down its banks until after this Sunday's vote. Standard & Poor's Ratings lowered its sovereign credit ratings on Greece, stating that the probability of the country exiting the eurozone is now about 50%, in its view. Greece officially missed its $1.7B payment to the International Monetary Fund, as expected. Greece's government requested a third bailout from the eurozone, but the request was dismissed by European officials. Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem said Wednesday that he saw no need for further talks on Greece at that point as he awaits the result of its referendum... In China, the People's Bank cut the one-year lending rate by 25 basis points to 4.85% and lowered the amount of reserves certain banks are required to hold by 50 basis points, but the same day the Shanghai Composite entered bear market territory, meaning the index was down more than 20% from its peak in mid-June. Chinese manufacturing PMIs came in short of expectations, as the HSBC/Markit PMI slipped to a final 49.4 in June from the flash reading of 49.6, while the government's official manufacturing PMI fell to 50.1 in June from 50.9 in May. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of BP (BP) advanced after the oil major announced it has reached agreements in principle to settle all U.S. federal and state claims arising from the Deepwater Horizon accident and spill in 2010. BP said it will pay up to $18.7B to settle the claims and that the expected impact of its agreements would be to increase the cumulative pre-tax charge associated with the accident and spill by around $10B from $43.8B at the end of the first quarter... In a blockbuster deal in the insurance industry, ACE Limited (ACE) agreed to acquire Chubb (CB) in a cash and stock transaction valued at over $28B. The combination will create the number one global Property and Casualty insurance company by P&C underwriting income and the number two U.S. public P&C insurer by market cap. Elsewhere on the M&A front, managed healthcare company Centene (CNC) announced a definitive agreement to acquire managed health care services rival Health Net (HNT) in a cash and stock deal valued at approximately $6.8B, including the assumption of approximately $500M of debt. Additionally, Willis Group (WSH) agreed to combine in an all-stock merger of equals with Towers Watson (TW) and Chambers Street Properties (CSG) announced a merger agreement with Gramercy Property Trust (GPT)... U.S. airline stocks dropped after the Associated Press reported that the Justice Department is investigating potential "unlawful coordination" between companies attempting to artificially limit growth to keep fares high... Juno Therapeutics (JUNO) advanced after the company announced a ten-year global collaboration for the development and commercialization of immunotherapies with Celgene (CELG). As part of the deal, Celgene will make an initial payment of approximately $1B, which includes the purchase of approximately 9.1M shares of Juno stock at $93 per share... Pentair (PNR) gained after Nelson Peltz's Trian Group confirmed it has taken a 7.24% stake. Trian urged the company to consider acquisitions and other industrial parts makers, including SPX Corp. (SPW), Flowserve (FLS), Xylem (XYL) and Colfax (CFX), also advanced following the activist's disclosure of its position... In a ruling with implications for coal miners and electric utilities, the Supreme Court overturned the EPA's Mercury Admissions and Toxic Standard, or MATS, rule, stating that the regulator did not properly take into account the costs to utilities and others in the sector in implementing a national standard for the reduction of power plant emissions of mercury and other air toxins... General Motors (GM) reported its U.S. sales fell 3% in June compared to the same month of last year, while Ford (F) said its sales grew 1.6% last month compared to last year. FCA US, the parent of the Chrysler and Jeep brands, reported U.S. sales increased 8% compared with sales in June 2014... Bond insurers MBIA (MBI) and Assured Guaranty (AGO) declined amid the worries about the debt situation in Puerto Rico. INDEXES: The Dow fell about 1.25% to close at 17,730.11, the Nasdaq declined about 1.43% to close at 5,009.21, and the S&P 500 dropped about 1.22% to close at 2,076.78.

Piper calculates equity value per Towers share of $152 being offered to existing shareholders in the transaction, and that the deal should generate 2016 earnings accretion of 18% to Towers holders. The firm lowered its price target for Towers shares to $152 from $157 and keeps an Overweight rating on the name.

Towers Watson should be bought on weakness, says Stifel
After Towers Watson (TW) agreed to merge with Willis Group (WSH), Stifel says that the decline in Towers' stock was overdone. The firm says that some investors are worried that the move signals that Towers Watson is worried about its exchange business. However, the firm believes that Towers Watson made the deal in order to acquire the distribution channel in the hottest part of the exchange business. Stifel thinks that the combined company can generate $10+ in EPS by 2018. It trimmed its price target on Towers Watson to $143 from $148 but keeps a Buy rating on the shares.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmacy benefit managers Express Scripts and Medco save employers, the federal government, labor unions, and consumers between $51 billion and $87 billion annually on the cost of prescription medications, according to a new report released today by economists Jonathan Orszag and Kevin Green of Compass Lexecon.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080827/EXPRESSSCRIPTSLOGO)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111205/AQ16705LOGO)
"Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) save consumers billions of dollars, but most people do not know very much about the role such firms play in the healthcare system," said Orszag, who served as an Economic Policy Adviser on President Clinton's National Economic Council. "We hope this study shows the economic benefits created by PBMs today, the role that PBMs should play in constraining rising healthcare costs in the future and the role the merger of Express Scripts and Medco can play in accelerating those savings."

Originally written on Fox Sports Tennessee | Last updated 10/2/12
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Kevin Correia pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Garrett Jones homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates won consecutive games for the first time in four weeks, beating the Atlanta Braves 5-1 Tuesday night. A day after being eliminated from the NL East division title race, the wild-card Braves rested several regulars and shuffled players in and out of the lineup throughout the game. Atlanta will host the NL wild-card game Friday. The Pirates (79-82) tied for their most wins in a season since their North American major professional sports record streak of 20 losing seasons began in 1993. The 1999 Pirates went 79-83. Starling Marte had three hits and scored twice for Pittsburgh, which previously won two straight games Sept. 4-5. The Pirates faded in the second half, ending their run at a playoff spot. A free agent in the offseason, Correia (12-11) perhaps made his final start after two seasons with Pittsburgh, matching a career high in wins each year. He allo...
