January 2012 meeting of the Archdiocesan Executive Council
The Archdiocesan Executive Council held its first meeting of 2012 on January 18th at the Archdiocesan Complex in Teaneck, New Jersey. Dr. Yamo Deniz, the president of the Council chaired the officers meeting, which reviewed several reports and finalized the agenda of the Council.
The meeting started with an opening prayer by His Eminence. Mr. Besim Isik, vice president of the Council, chaired the two-hour session and gave a brief update on the status of the Midland Avenue property, as it pertains to the awaited final approval from the Paramus Board of Adjustments in order to begin the renovation program. The Board of Adjustments will be meeting on February 9th at which time we are anticipating the Board's approval of the plans submitted. The chairman also spoke about an article, which appeared in the Bergen Record Newspaper talking about the plans the Archdiocese has in place for the Midland Avenue property. His Eminence thanked Mr. Isik and his committee for all their time and effort in pursuing and covering every detail of this process.
Other topics on the agenda included the amendments to the Parish By-laws. Jack Darakjy, who is spear heading this initiative, reported that he was very pleased with the number of comments and the feedback received from the parishes and council members. Mr. Darakjy noted that he and his review committee members will be consolidating and incorporating submissions in order to come up with an inclusive draft for His Eminence and the Council to review. Mr. Darkajy said he expects this to be accomplished by early February.
Semir Sirazi, Finance Committee Chairman for the Midland Avenue Property Development reported, via conference call from Chicago, on the work of the Finance Committee. He also spoke about the eventual consolidation of existing committees, including fund raising, to avoid redundancy. He complimented his fellow committee members and said a status report and a plan will be forthcoming.
Very Rev. Fr. Shamoon Asmar and Sonia Adamo reported on the Youth Director search initiative. His Eminence encouraged the search committee to look further and get the word out by utilizing the church Web-sites and publications to advertise this position. The Archbishop noted that the Youth Director is an important function and our Archdiocese is the first to take on such a challenge. It was agreed that the job description for the position will be provided to all Parish Board Presidents in order for the churches to properly announce and be adequately informed with regards to the qualifications for this position.
His Eminence reported that the Holy Synod meeting that was scheduled for the end of January in Damascus, Syria has been postponed. The Archbishop asked that we pray for peace throughout the world and especially in Syria at this point and time. He asked that we pray for His Holiness, Moran Mor Ignatius I Iwas, our beloved Patriarch and all the clergy as they continue leading our church during these difficult and challenging days.
An all-day meeting of the AEC with Church Board Presidents has been set for February 18th.
In conclusion and before his benediction, His Eminence re-iterated his appreciation for the volunteer work that is being done throughout the Archdiocese. He said that everyone is doing a wonderful job and the fruits of their efforts will be realized as we move forward with the Midland Avenue Property Development and the dynamic changes that will take place for the Archdiocese as a result of it.

FORT WAYNE — Shayla Sutorius learned basketball from some of the best players from Bishop Luers' past and present, and it has certainly helped to develop the Knights' sophomore.
Sutorius grew up watching Deshaun Thomas and Evan Blackmon as the former Luers standouts participated in a program run by her grandmother and coached by former Luers assistant coach John Smiley at Bethlehem Lutheran.
"It just seemed natural to go over there and pick up a ball, and they would play with me," Sutorius said. "They inspired me. They were all bigger and rougher than me, and I tried to fit in. It made me want to play basketball and learn about it and see what they were doing, and I wanted to do it. So that's how I got started."
The 5-foot-11 sophomore guard continued to grow her game at the Old Fort YMCA, Towles and Miami Middle School before coming to Luers as part of a freshman class that also included Emma Wolfe and Taya Andrews, among others.
It was as a freshman that she was again tutored by veteran players like now-seniors Addie Reimbold and Erin and Allison Butler.
"I kind of came in scared because I didn't know how it would be on varsity, but the upperclassmen kind of took me in and helped me out a lot," Sutorius said. "It was getting the feel for things."
The guidance is paying off as Sutorius is averaging 10.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals for the Knights (8-3) heading into this week's SAC tournament.
"The biggest thing I have seen is maturity," Luers coach Denny Renier said of Sutorius. "She came in this year and has been working much harder than she did as a freshman.
"I don't think her stats are much different because of the balance we have on the team. She has a lot of talent to go with it, but her leadership she has shown and the development of her work ethic has been the biggest thing."
Sutorius is more comfortable playing for Luers in her second season.
"It is more of a natural feeling now," she said. "Sometimes I will step up and tell girls what to do. The more one of us knows, the more we will say it. We are not really intimidated or scared anymore."
Renier had been aware of Sutorius but didn't get a lot of chances to watch her play until she came to Luers. He has also seen her change this year.
"With most kids, it is the defensive side," Renier said. "When they are in grade school and scoring 20 points a game, (defense is) a forgotten part of their game. People are patting them on the back and saying how great they are because of the points they score, which is natural.
"There's not enough emphasis put on defense, and when you are in high school and are a freshmen playing varsity ball, it will show up pretty quickly. She had some problems last year, and a lot of those kids are trying to find their way defensively and trying to improve and recognize situations that come up during the course of a game."

The suspension, which continues, came barely two weeks after the plant began operating
Eight months since it was suspended, the mini-stone crushing plant in Chakshurong, Trashiyangtse remains closed still.
It had barely operated for two weeks since it started towards the end of 2012.
The owner of the plant has been unable to upgrade the plant and submit a detailed project report as the Cabinet, before it dissolved, required of the plant owner for the suspension to be lifted.
Chakchurong is around 4km from Korlung on the way to Tongzhang gewog.
Trashiyangtse dzongda Sangay Duba said the Cabinet had recommended the plant be upgraded to a small-scale industry from a cottage one.
The owner would also have to submit a project proposal reflecting details of mitigation works for environment, human lives and settlements.
"For now we're waiting for the owner to submit the project proposal, which will be forwarded to the regional trade office," Sangay Duba said.
The crushing plant owner, Neten Dorji said he had yet to see the letter from the Cabinet for himself.
In September 2012, villagers in the vicinity of the plant had complained to the authorities of the risk the pollution from the plant posed their health and the environment.
The matter then went up to the Cabinet, which asked for National Environment Commission, agriculture minister and eastern regional trade office to carry out a joint investigation.
The investigation uncovered some administrative lapses including the operation of a small-scale business on cottage industry trade license.
The owner had also relocated the crushing plant to a new location in Chakshurong from its previous site at Dukuling without relevant authority's knowledge.
The investigation showed the crushing plant was built on a wetland for which the owner of the crushing plant was fined Nu 14,900.
But, Sangay Duba said claims the crushing plant posed serious environmental and human hazards was unfounded.
"The investigation reflected that with mitigation works, the crushing plant should pose no serious threats," he said.

ICBA Congratulates FDIC on Its 75th Anniversary
Washington, D.C. (June 16, 2008)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) congratulates the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) on celebrating 75 years of providing stability to this nation's banking system.
"Since its founding in 1933, the FDIC has ensured public confidence in our nation's banking system," said Cynthia L. Blankenship, ICBA chairman and vice chairman and chief operating officer of Bank of the West, Irving, Texas. "The FDIC has been critical and continues to be critical to the continued success and stability of our banking system. Because of the FDIC, our community bank customers know that their money is safe in our institutions. No one has ever lost a penny of FDIC-insured funds."
"ICBA applauds the FDIC's longstanding history of protecting consumers' finances through the confidence and stability deposit insurance provides banking customers. Community banks look forward to continuing to reach out and promote the benefits of FDIC-insured accounts to consumers who need banking services," Blankenship said.
The FDIC insures deposits and protects depositors' funds in banks and savings associations. FDIC deposit insurance covers each depositor's account, dollar-for-dollar, up to the current insurance limit of $100,000 (and $250,000 for some retirement accounts), including principal and any accrued interest. Customers should look for an official FDIC sign at the teller windows or teller stations in their local community bank to know their institution is covered by FDIC insurance.
According to the FDIC, insurance covers all types of deposits received by a financial institution in its usual course of business, including savings and checking accounts, NOW accounts, Christmas club accounts, and time deposits such as certificates of deposit. Cashiers' checks, officers' checks, expense checks, loan disbursement checks, interest checks, outstanding drafts, negotiable instruments and money orders drawn on the institution are also considered deposits, and are protected by the FDIC.

This meal was lacking rice. It would have made it much better. Lacked authenticity. This will be the last time I eat here. The humas was to salty. The carry-out treys they use are just not cohesive to the meal. All around a bad experience.
Posted by Ann Goetcheus on 08/03/2010
We have been getting take-out from here -- the 5 salad special and their pitzas for years == the fresh made pita is fabulous and the service is usually prompt. The prices are modest -- really appreciate having it in the neighborhood.

We love this place. Can't keep his hands off me, after eating this stuff
Posted by Egytptian Goddess on 02/05/2010
I work nearby, and Tutt is consistently the best place to eat in the area. The food is very fresh with quality ingredients. The use EV Olive Oil on their salads the pita bread is fresh-baked. Best falafel anywhere! The staff is very sweet and friendly, even the delivery guy and the cooks in the kitchen! They always have the best Egyptian music playing too. Highly recommended.
Posted by Disappointed in the extreme on 11/09/2009
I ordered the Tutt "speciality" lambajin, a pizza that purports to contain lamb. The only thing the pizza contained was a smear of tomato sauce and oregano on hard bread. And I had to wait half an hour for this delicacy, which came to my table cold and hard. Skip this item, and for a good bet, skip this cafe altogether.

About Chris Whitt
What Makes AAA Carpet Cleaning Special is Chris
In 1980 my father said this to me, "If you're hungry get on the work truck." As a teenager I was use to eating by then. Since that time, other than years in the Army, I have been on the truck all of my life. Unlike other carpet cleaning services this has been my past, my present and my future. For over 30 years I have devoted my life to helping my family build and run 3 different Carpet Cleaning business'. Nu Steam Carpet Cleaning in Greer, SC. Nu Steam in Surfside Beach, SC. AAA Professional Carpet Cleaning in Boiling Springs, SC. In 2002 I bought the company from my parents and changed the name to Chris' AAA Carpet Cleaning.
As a young man my father use to complain that I talked too long to the customers. Not only am I selling the services of Chris' AAA Carpet Cleaning I feel I'm selling myself as well. In today's society you must know who you're inviting into your home. That's why I take the time to get to know you as the customer and you to know me personally. For many years now I have taken the time to provide a professional service for each and every customer that I have been privileged to serve. To get to know them but more importantly for them to know me.
For 16 years now I have been serving the Lord in my personal life and in my business life. Being an honest business man is not an option. The Lord demands it of me or requires it of me. May God Bless you and yours and I truly look forward to providing Carpet Cleaning services to you in the future.

Article By Mike Chambers - September 27, 2007
With the game physics engine running at 30Hz on the server, Splash Damage defaults the client frame rate to 60 frames per second (fps). However, they understood that players with high-end systems may wish to unlock the frame rate, which is made possible via the com_unlockFPS console variable or cvar. Unless the value of com_unlockFPS is 1, the game will attempt to maintain a constant frame rate of 30fps. Note that com_unlockFPS only applies when connected to a server.
When the frame rate is unlocked, two additional variables come into play. The first variable is com_unlock_timingMethod, which can be set a value of 0, 1 or 2. The second variable is com_unlock_maxFPS, which is managed in increments of 30, and caps the maximum frame rate the game will attempt to achieve. Note that com_unlock_maxFPS only applies when com_unlock_timingMethod is set to 1 or 2.
For a detailed explanation of these and other console variables that affect the frame rate, please refer to this forum thread at Splash Damage.
There are various methods to set console variables one of which is to create an autoexec.cfg file. The autoexec.cfg file is a text file that resides under the /base directory and is parsed when the game executes.
Note that when a variable is modified via the seta command, it is permanently changed unless it is modified again with another seta command. To change a variable temporarily, use the set command.

You can't even use Coolbits with it anymore! Man, I really HATE this new control panel. The person who designed it should be shot. Too bad. Any way to get it back again? It's definitely gone in the 97.02 drivers. I really hope Nvidia will restore that old control panel in a new driver release.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Calls into Forsyth County Mosquito Control are up this season thanks to the increase in rain.
The increase in rain is helping the container breeding mosquito population grow this season.
"With this large amount of rain we'll see a bumper crop," said Ryan Harrison with Forsyth County Mosquito Control. Harrison says the container breeding mosquitos love standing water where they can breed and with so much standing water around they are expected to increase this year. "Water is just everywhere. It's in your front ditches; your culvert pipes it's everywhere."
The container breeding mosquitos are typically the Asian Tiger mosquito which can carry virus like West Nile. Several people in North Carolina, including Forsyth County, contracted the virus last year. As of this week, the virus has not been reported in N.C., but has turned up in surrounding states.
Harrison says it is important that everyone remove standing water from around you. "If you can't get rid of it it's easily treated with bacterial larvicides which you can find at local hardware stores."

AUSTIN — The legislative session that opens Tuesday will give Gov. Rick Perry a chance to burnish his credentials if he chooses to make another run for president in 2016.
But some are hard-pressed to imagine a session — or anything else — good enough to make voters forget his disastrous White House race that limped to an end just about a year ago.
"On the one hand, Reagan, Bush, McCain, and Romney all lost on their first nomination try, and they came back to fight and win another day. The problem for Perry is that he crossed a line from contender to punch line," said University of New Hampshire political scientist Dante Scala. "My guess is that the window is closed for Perry."
Perry turned into a punch line after a series of campaign missteps punctuated by his inability to remember all the federal departments he wanted to shut down, a debate lapse that entered the big leagues of embarrassing moments when he gave up with an "oops."
Not only will Perry carry that baggage, the 2016 field is sure to be shinier than his 2012 competition.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, even newly minted U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas are mentioned by some as potential contenders.
"We said even during his campaign itself, it's hard to have a second chance to make a first impression," said Dennis Goldford, professor of politics at Drake University in Des Moines. But he reached back further than Scala in the history of missed-it-the-first-time presidential candidate for a bit of light for Perry: "Remember in 1962? 'You won't have Nixon to kick around any more'?"
Richard Nixon delivered that line at a news conference after his failed run for California governor. Goldford noted that Nixon helped elect other Republicans in 1966 when the party needed a boost, allowing him to call in chips for his 1968 presidential race.
"Is Perry in a position to do that? Well, Republicans need a good 2014 (election cycle) to re-invigorate them," Goldford said. "Did he injure himself irrevocably in 2011 and early 2012? Nixon suggests there are hardly any irrevocables in politics barring some sort of incredible personal scandal that we don't even want to talk about."
Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, allowed himself the "escape hatch" of noting a lot can happen in three years. But he called Perry's performance "sub-par in a very weak field of contenders ... I doubt any of the 2012 contenders is going to do particularly well, since they all lost to the November loser."
But Sabato also said that Perry has strengths including "a great base for money and votes in Texas and the South — assuming there aren't other Southerners running in '16. Voters liked Perry even as they thought he wasn't up to being the presidential nominee."
In Texas, political experts discounted Perry's national future while saying he's got a good shot if he runs for re-election.
"I do think that he would be a formidable candidate for governor if he ran again," said Southern Methodist University political scientist Cal Jillson. "But there is no indication that he is doing what he would need to do to be a plausible candidate for president because he would have to undertake a serious course of study on national security, foreign policy, military affairs."
Rice University political scientist Mark Jones said: "It's fantasy to think that he would have a chance of becoming the Republican nominee in 2016. Governor, on the other hand, in 2014 is very realistic."
But predictions are just that, Goldford noted, comparing political modeling to predicting a horse race.
"I know people who like thoroughbred racing, and they study the racing form every day. But They say you can study the form all you want, but there's a reason they actually run the race," Goldford said. "There's nothing in the model or the form that predicts 'oops' – or Hurricane Sandy and a big wet kiss from Chris Christie for the president."
