America's sixth-oldest College opens its vaults of buried historical treasure
(Bethlehem, Pennsylvania)-Payne Gallery at Moravian College will exhibit "Buried Treasure: Discovering the Moravian College Archives," from October 23 through November 30. The exhibit comprises almost 90 objects, mostly documents, but also banners, posters, a painting, a photo album, and an ornate armchair. The archival exhibit of materials from the 260-year-old vaults of Moravian College is the first to be held in Payne Gallery.
The oldest piece in the exhibit is a letter from Count Zinzendorf written when he himself was a student, in 1716; the youngest, an aerial photograph of the College taken in 2002. The exhibit includes the earliest known Moravian Theological Seminary class schedule (1808) and the first faculty minutes book (1858). It showcases the photograph album of William Gerdsen '30, in which he captured campus life of his time, and a color film about the college, made in 1948. This has been transferred to videotape and will play in a continuous loop during exhibit hours.
John Weeren, Moravian's archivist, has assembled an impressive array of objects and artifacts that demonstrate Moravian's unique place in American history, some of which have been recently discovered. One such find included a collection of mid-19th-century instructional charts in the attic of the Brethren's House, two of which will be featured in the exhibit. Bound copies of the College's student newspaper, The Comenian, dating back to 1891, and The Belfry (its counterpart at Moravian College for Women) were rescued from the open stacks at Reeves Library.
Though the archive offices at Moravian are two small rooms tucked into the basement of Reeves Library, next to the Groenfeldt Moravian Collection, they contain extensive holdings with great potential to contribute to the college and scholarly communities.
Some of the more unusual items in "Buried Treasure":
The exhibit is divided into 12 sections spotlighting teaching, the campus, student life, administration, and athletics, among other areas. The spine of the exhibit is a Moravian College timeline illustrated with documents.
"It's exciting to delve into the past and create as complete a road map as we can of what has come before," Weeren says. "That's what I love about archives. They contain the raw material of history. They prepare the ground that allows historians and scholars to do their work in reconstructing a world that no longer exists, thereby helping us to understand our own."
Payne Gallery is part of Moravian College's Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus on Church Street in downtown Bethlehem. Hours are 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. It is closed Mondays, major holidays, and during the College's fall break (October 11-14). Information and directions: (610) 861-1680, weekend (610) 861-1667, or www.moravian.edu.

Pinewood Senior Thomas Osborne signed his National Letter of Intent Wednesday to play soccer at Limestone College.
I fell in love with Limestone from the minute I stepped on to the campus, Osborne said. I liked the small school feel, the small family atmosphere, the soccer team and the coaches.
Limestone Head Coach Eric Alsop was equally impressed with Osborne.
We are very excited that Thomas will be joining our program this fall, Alsop said. Thomas first caught our attention at our Fall ID camp, and we have had the pleasure of seeing him play in various club tournaments since then. We were most impressed with his athleticism, positive attitude and strong shot-stopping abilities. Plus, as a goalkeeper, he is very vocal and organizes his defensive unit well. We think Thomas will be a good addition to an already strong goalkeeping unit and we look forward to working with him this fall and throughout his career at Limestone College.
Osborne has been a member of South Carolina United/Mount Pleasant since he was 14.
In 2011, he was Captain of his SCU/MP team that claimed a State Cup championship and went on to represent South Carolina at Regionals.
He was also a member of State Cup Runner up teams in 2012 and 2013. Osborne will once again represent South Carolina at Regionals in Baton Rouge this summer.
Thomas is a quiet but very consistent, mature, intelligent and assured personality that has dedicated himself fully to playing collegiately over the past year, SCU/MP coach Sachin Patel said. He is a big part of the reason the 95 boys Elite had a great showing at Region 3 league play and booked a spot at Region Championships this summer. Thomas had numerous good offers to play at the next level; I and everybody associated with SC United Mt. Pleasant wish Thomas all the best in his future endeavors.
Osborne has played on the Pinewood Varsity team since his ninth-grade year and has helped the team to three straight region championships as well as three straight state runner-up titles.
Osborne represented South Carolina in the U15 Olympic Development Program. He was also a Development Player on the U16 South Carolina Battery Academy team and is currently a Development player on the U18 Academy team.
He plans to major in Sports Management.

Scans from the March 2009 issue of Marie Claire in Spain have been uploaded. Hugeeeee thanks to Mary who was generous enough to email me with them!
A cover preview of Mischa's March 2009 cover and spread for the Spanish edition of Marie Claire magazine has been uploaded to their site. We'll hopefully be able to get some scans soon but it usually takes a little longer to track down issues from overseas countries. The Marie Claire team also uploaded a couple of preview shots which you can check out below. If anyone living in Spain would be willing to scan it for us that would be really really REALLY appreciated.
Mischa participated in a photoshoot for Marie Claire Spain and they've uploaded a behind the scenes look. Hopefully we'll be able to get scans of the issue as the shoot looks amazing!

Who Replies to the Watchmen?[With apologies, my "Film of the Week" column was stopped dead in its tracks yesterday when my screener for Albert Serra's Birdsong refused to be recognized by my DVD player or computer. There's a joke in here about the film's accessibility, but instead I'll just say that Astra Taylor's Examined Life was my Friday pick.] The innocent and guilty will be equally protected today: When a certain major motion picture was released this weekend, a certain respected film critic brutally but thoughtfully slammed it, and he was hardly alone in his disapproval. Yet the director of said movie singled out said critic with a venomous, profanity-laden, character-attacking email, which will not be posted here, nor the website where the review ran. Having been forwarded the rant, I began thinking about the one-sided conversation that is film criticism. If opinions are like belly buttons (in which case, Karolina Kurkova is indifferent), might they be honed to help further the medium itself if filmmakers and their critics interacted regularly? Or would that just lead to hurt feelings and more excessively nasty e-tirades? Nobody likes to have their labors of love picked apart for their flaws. One of my major gripes with criticism today is that it's not constructive enough, and commentators are often writing more about themselves than they are the work they're meant to contextualize. Sometimes writing a bad review is more fun; I've said in the past that I'm allowed to be flowery when the films are good, and funny when they're mediocre. But that's ultimately a bad habit many arts journalists and bloggers are at fault for—myself included—and how many of us stop to consider that these filmmakers are potentially our audience? (They should be, anyway!) Would we write such blistering take-downs if we had to read them aloud to their faces? Are we being productive and offering them useful advice that they might cull from going forth, or when we don't like a film, are we lazily heckling to avoid engaging what it is we don't find engaging? Would one-on-one confrontations make us more honest, or would that interaction pollute any chances for objectivity? I reviewed a low-budget indie that few people saw, and let's just say I had been severely underwhelmed. Two months later, while at a festival where both that film and my own were screening, I was forced by happenstance to meet the director. Not only did he recognize my name from the badge around my neck, he was able to quote back the harsher parts of my review while I barely remembered writing them. How awkward! The experience was gratifying for both of us, however, because in his directness, he never questioned my taste, just my specific opinions. We were able to discuss in more detail than my 250-word capsule could why I had issues with the film, what I thought could've been improved upon. In the end, even if we disagreed on some things, we agreed on others, and most importantly, had each other's respect—there was no more awkwardness as we drank beers and watched films together. Could this happen in every case? Of course not, we're all built differently and some have thicker hides. But if filmmakers valued that good critics weren't just a gang of moustache-twirling villains eager to dip their fountain pens in hemlock, and the critics tempered any condemnation with judiciousness as if they were facing each filmmaker with a practical performance review, what do you think we might accomplish?

Worst. Blog. Ever. ;)
While sharing dinner with a bunch of filmmakers last October, I realized that one woman was there with a project whose mere premise I mocked on Cinematical just months before, and while I never brought it up, I could see that she at least was more earnest than naive about the movie and any follow-ups. Even if I haven't entirely stowed away the snark, it certainly put a fresh perspective on my approach.Posted by: William Goss at February 28, 2009 12:46 PM
Critique is so vast and often subjective for good reasons. Like the fact you could debate it and also good point about journalistic/blog ability to play to audience and entertain with harsh reviews.Posted by: Filmupstart at March 1, 2009 8:20 AM
www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/oct/10/ronald.bergan.critical.objectivityPosted by: ronald bergan at March 2, 2009 4:55 AM
agreed, good pointPosted by: Digital Film School Student at March 2, 2009 2:02 PM
And yet, panning a film wittily comprises a large part of the pleasure of reviewing, both for the critic and the reader. I wonder if your ideas would lead to dull, conscientious, earnest reviews that are sensitive to the filmmaker's feelings. Often, the flaws of movies are due to studios and their cynical ploys to pander to certain demographics. If reviewers were dealing with one filmmaker's attempts to make something worthwhile, then that would deserve a more nuanced, respectful criticism, but how often does that happen? So often, I feel like I'm discussing some endlessly compromised product instead.Posted by: filmdr at March 2, 2009 2:23 PM
I agree with filmdr, which reminds me that I meant to compliment you on your review of Fired Up!, which provided more enjoyment for me than I'm sure the film would have.Posted by: Joe Bowman at March 3, 2009 7:37 AM
If filmmakers and their critics interacted regularly ... it would lead directly and -- no disrespect intended -- obviously to conflicts of interest.
Critics' friendships with artists never make for good (honest) criticism. Why? Because it's inevitable that loyalties develop, and subsequent reviews are impossibly compromised. Some critics have argued otherwise, but I'd suggest that they're fooling themselves.Posted by: philip at March 3, 2009 9:52 AM
Let us not forget that a lot of films in our canon come from a certain convergence of criticism and film authorship. I'm thinking specifically of the French New Wave. I haven't seen the film yet, but what if Snyder had constructed a film with its societal effect in mind? (300, for example, most certainly was not and will go down in canon as an example of early 21st century ignorance). With a little bit of foresight and planning for the future argument his film would have to partake in and stand up under, maybe we'd have a more stimulating film document of Watchmen, (again, which I haven't seen yet). I think it would be healthy for filmmakers to participate in a give-and-take with their spectators, not in interviews which glorify their power over us as creators, but as thinking people communicating to other thinking people. I think the critic's responsibility is to be the discerning conductor of art's message to the masses, and to make sure we know what we're consuming.Posted by: Tommy at March 3, 2009 10:28 AM
I hate to ask but what critic? what e-mail? is this even about the watchmen? I don't care much about that movie, right now I'm just crippled with curiosity about the critic and the bashing and what this is about, not to discount the efforts of your post to bring discussion. I'm sorry, I hate being this curious but please alleviate this pain with names. Thank you.Posted by: john at March 3, 2009 11:13 AM

I don't like to think of myself as overly emotional but I nearly blew my stack Wednesday morning while at an accident scene west of Troy.
I was at the scene of the two-vehicle crash on Indiana 66 and was keeping my distance while rescue crews and firefighters worked to free a Tell City man from his crumpled car.
I've covered dozens of accidents in which someone was killed and likely hundreds in which someone was injured.

District 74 State Representative
The 2013 legislative session adjourned Friday, signaling the end of session. Back in November, when I was first elected to serve as the state representative for our district, I was biting at the bit to get started.
I charged into the Statehouse and quickly realized I had a lot to learn in order to best serve our community, but I would like to think I was a fast study. Looking back over the last four months, it has truly been a humbling learning experience.
Session is coming to an end and the last two weeks can be the busiest. Many times, I catch myself thinking that session does not always resemble what I learned in school, so I wanted to fill you in on what the last two weeks of session look like.
"Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody
The old gray goose is dead."
The kids in third-grade music class at Clay-Huff Elementary knew I was different when I cried over the folksy song about Rhody's dead gray goose. Everyone else gathered around the piano and sang their hearts out. I was looking out at the window, looking for the goose's orphaned babies and crying gander spouse.

Editor Vince Luecke's question, in his column in today's paper (April 8), is why not call undocumented workers "illegal aliens."
He suggests that journalists, following the new Associated Press guidelines, are being drawn into taking partisan positions rather than just calling a spade a spade, as it were.
Hoosier students are the future of our state. The next generation of leaders is in classrooms throughout the state, learning the skills necessary to keep Indiana moving forward. For each student to reach their potential, education equality is the first step.

Purdue University
I've got a son in college and a daughter about to be. In the past four years, we've done a dozen college visits at nine different schools. It's been a research effort lasting years; perhaps I should report some results. First a disclaimer: I work for Purdue. I'll try to stay objective.
So here are a few of our experiences – research observations, I suppose. Start with the best, with names attached.
As a community newspaper that focuses on local happenings, the News does not often publish Associated Press stories, but like most publications, we have long followed the AP Stylebook.

I read the Our View editorial on the Iraq war and how it didn't reflect our values. What disturbs me so much is the use of lies, misinformation and distortion to make our country look bad despite our efforts to do the right thing. I should put my point of view first so people know what perspective I take. I think we should bring our troops home and make our allies develop their militaries so they are capable of defending themselves. Now to look at the falsehoods presented in the editorial.

Indiana Attorney General
The majority of states, including Indiana, provide a marriage license only to a man and woman, while nine states also allow same-sex couples to receive licenses to marry.
Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, in 1996 that defines marriage as the legal union of one man and one woman for purposes of federal benefits. Under DOMA, states with the traditional definition of marriage need not recognize same-sex marriages from other states.

MANTECA, CA - Long before he was coaching the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals, Scott Brooks was like a coach at East Union High School in Manteca.
"Scott didn't mess around too often. He was serious about basketball and doing the right thing," said former teammate Rick Inderbitzin.
Brooks was part of a team in 1983 that finished second in the high school section tournament. Nearly 30 years later, his work ethic is still proving successful.
"He was a gym rat and that's the expectation for his team. Put the time in, work hard and push yourself to the max," said Inderbitzin.
From East Union in Manteca, Brooks went on to play for three colleges, and then a half dozen NBA teams. His statistics as a pro weren't overwhelming, but he had a 10-year career before starting his coaching career.
He took over the Thunder in 2008 and now is three wins from an NBA championship. Brooks also won as a player with Houston in 1994.

MILWAUKEE (WITI) — A 26-year-old Milwaukee man is facing charges after he allegedly attacked a pregnant woman and her 10-year-old daughter in a neighboring residence while armed with a samurai sword and sledgehammer. The incident occurred on Wednesday, December 11th at 2628 N. 10th Street.
The accused, 26-year-old Malcolm Wright, is facing one count of first-degree recklessly endangering safety (use of a dangerous weapon) and one count of physical abuse of a child (intentional causation, high probability).
According to the criminal complaint, Wright's father witnessed him walk to the neighbor's house with a samurai sword on December 11th. The complaint indicates Wright approached the house and began striking the door as if he was trying to get inside.
After hitting the door multiple times, Wright allegedly went back to his own residence and retrieved a sledgehammer before returning to the neighbor's home. The complaint indicates Wright then began to hammer on the neighbor's door until it slammed open.
According to the criminal complaint, Wright then entered the neighbor's home and struck a child sleeping on a couch in the living room. The child's scream prompted the mother to enter the living room. At that time, Wright allegedly struck the child's mother several times in the chest, back and head with a hard object. The woman was seven months pregnant.
Shortly after the incident, Wright's father told police he saw his son exit the neighbor's front door with the sledgehammer still in his hands. At that time, Wright's father yelled to his wife to call police.
When police arrived on the scene, Wright turned over the sledgehammer, which was covered in a red substance that appeared to be blood, according to the complaint.
According to the criminal complaint, the child was transported to Children's Hospital for a contusion/laceration to the right cheek and left eye. Due to the nature and shape of the wound, officials believe the victim was hit with the samurai sword at least twice, according the complaint.
The child's mother was transported to Froedtert for several fractured rips, broken bones in her face, a severe cut to her left ear, a swollen eye, a deep cut to her right elbow, which caused the bone to be exposed, and several lesser cuts to her forearm.
FOX6 News has learned the pregnant woman was forced to deliver her child prematurely as a result of the attack.
The criminal complaint does not indicate what prompted the attack. However, Wright's father indicated to police that his son is violent and has mental health issues.
Amanda Hester is now caring for her grandchildren while her daughter, who was the pregnant victim in this case struggles to recuperate.
"The way he did this family is ridiculous. Her face was disfigured. Her arms was in slings and she had cuts," Hester said.
FOX6 News spoke with Wright's father, Andrew Wright, who said everything happened so quickly.
"I was in the process of putting my clothes on and I told my wife to call the police. By the time I got my clothes on, he was running back out there again with the sledgehammer then he commenced to beating on the door. I`m not going to (expletive) with him with a sledgehammer in his hand! He bust in — got in there right quickly. Next thing he was coming back out and said 'well Daddy I'm sorry. Me and my wife are very sorry for the family and praying for the family. All he knows is he was hearing voices and those voices were telling him certain things,'" Andrew Wright said.
Wright's father says he believes Wright suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
Wright says he is upset with the incident, saying he has tried for years to get his son help for his mental issues.
"He was in and out of the mental institution. They would treat him and release him. They tried to do stuff for him, but it just didn't happen. They didn't hold him long enough. He is going to be serving time somewhere, but hopefully it's somewhere he can get some help," Andrew Wright said.
Wright's father says at times, he was even fearful of his son, and tried to keep the doors locked in the basement where his son stays.
Wright was taken to the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex following his arrest.
If convicted, Wright could face up to 25 years in prison.

The first thing that is searched when a command references a file is it
i-node number
permission setting
none of the above
Suppose you enter a command like cp x y. Unlike the user, who uses the name to identify and differentiate files, the system uses i-node number to uniquely identify a file. Any file name has an associated i-node number. In UNIX. different files can have the same name. But the associated i-nodc number will be different. The filename---i-node correspondence can be found in the directory which has to be the first one that is to be searched, as nothing can be done to a file without knowing its i-node number.
cc command sequentially invokes
preprocessor. compiler and link editor
compiler and link editor
preprocessor, compiler. assembler and link editor
compiler, assembler and link editor
Among the directory entries, i-node and the file contents. which will be changed when a file is updated?
Only directory entry and tile contents
Only i-node and file contents
All the three
None of the above
Directory entries have two fields. One for the file name and the other for the i-node number. The i-node has many fields for storing all the information about the file, except the file name and the actual content of the tile. The content of the file will be in a separate place. So. the details of any file will be spread over these three places. When a file is updated its name and i-node number will remain the same. Only the contents and some fields in the i-node (like file size, time of last access, etc.) need to be changed. Hence the answer
The cc command
Can take more than one argument
Can act on files with . or . o extension
Creates . o files by default when more than one argument with .,- extension is present
If provided with more than one argument. immediately terminates it the first argument fails to compile successfully
The mv command changes
Only the directory entry
Only the directory entry and i-node
Only the i-node number
The mv command, say. try x y is not going to change the tile content, the i-node number or other information in the i-node. Only the file name is going to change. The file name is present only in the directory. So. the answer is (a).

Delle Alli, 17, reportedly attracting interest from a host of top-flight clubs, did nothing to harm his reputation when he scored a stunning volley from 25 yards to give the Dons a 39th-minute lead.
Home skipper Carl Baker equalised 12 minutes after the interval as Coventry came out strongly, but substitute Izale McLeod stopped them in their tracks with his first touch after stepping off the bench before Baker missed a penalty.
Pressley said: "The first-half was a game of few moments and we had a few great opportunities.
"We created a lot of good opportunities again in the second and the penalty miss was at a crucial time in the game, we were on top.
"Probably what let us down was our final pass, but in terms of the group's attitude - it was fantastic.
"Their first goal was outstanding. You can defend these situations a bit better, but we defended the first ball and it falls to the edge of the box and it's an incredible strike.
"We needed to be a little bit more aggressive in our passing and look towards our strikers.
"We were on the front foot in the second-half and but for an exceptional one moment it's disappointing we haven't got anything."
Coventry look to have done enough to avoid being dragged into a relegation fight, but need another win to calm any nerves in the final weeks.

Below is the poem entitled I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU which was written by poet
Barton. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Madelin Barton
When the world around you turns silent
Take note, for still echoing inside you
Is a heart that was left half beating.
If you're ever lonely, search closely
My love is always near, I will always be
with you.....
Inside you is where you will find that
everlasting love song I tried so diligently
to write now complete
For embedded in me, now immortalized
in you is the only place that hauntingly
beautiful melody resonates still...
Somewhere in the distance, I lie awake
dwelling on what I had and lost
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU find comfort in knowing
That true love never dies
Only that for now it has chosen to lull itself
In beauty sleep.....

Rico emerges as starting QB for CLU
As Cal Lutheran's third-string quarterback, David Rico wasn't exactly one play away from having his number called.
But the sophomore still tried to remain as engaged as possible just in case.
"I can see how it would get tough to not mentally tap out and not be totally into it. But you always have to be ready," Rico said. "Even if you are not getting playing time, you always have to try and get better and improve and make the most of your opportunities to really show what you got."
Rico did just that.
The Dinuba native provided a spark in the second half in a loss to Occidental, and fully ignited CLU's offense last weekend against Whittier.
Making his first career start, Rico completed 9 of 10 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns and rushed nine times for 154 yards to lead CLU to a 47-10 victory over the Poets.
Rico is hoping to sustain that momentum on Saturday night when CLU (3-4, 3-2) plays at La Verne (3-4, 2-3) at 7 p.m.
"He just has that 'It' factor; guys just loving playing with him," CLU head coach Ben McEnroe said. "He is kind of a free spirit. He is laid-back and funny, but he will call you out if he needs to call you out to get something fixed."
Waiting his turn is nothing new for Rico. He is one of nine children.
The 5-foot-9, 165-pounder has been playing quarterback since age 7, and never let his size limit his aspirations.
"People always kind of give me a second glance and hesitate when they see how big I am," Rico said. "They are probably thinking, 'You are a quarterback?' But I have been small all my life and I have just evolved my game and the way I play to be successful at my stature. It's never really hindered me too much."
CLU offensive coordinator Clay Richardson has made a few tweaks in CLU's game plan to take advantage of Rico's dual-threat abilities.
"Talk to any defensive coordinator and they will say a running quarterback scares them more than anything else," McEnroe said. "The guy that can hit a home run with their feet any time he is on the field takes you out of your coverage and adds a whole different dimension. David can do that. He can extend plays with his feet and turn a flush from the pocket into a 40-yard run."
Having moved up the depth chart because of injury and inconsistency, Rico is ready to stay there and embrace all aspects of being the starter.
"My mind-set really hasn't changed. I have always tried to be a leader as far as having guys feed off my energy," he said. "But I guess guys will be looking at me even more to do that and I have to hold myself to a higher standard and be more mindful of my demeanor and the way I carry myself."

November industrial production rises 8.1pct y/y-govt
Vietnam's index of industrial production (IIP) for November is estimated to have risen 8.1 percent from a year ago, accelerating from 5.3 percent last month, the government said on Friday.
The General Statistical Office estimated the index for the January-November period rose 6.9 percent from the same period last year, against an annual pace of 7.0 percent in the first 10 months.
In June the GSO started using the IIP in place of a previous industrial output index that used 1994 prices as a base. It gave no value for industrial output.

Last season Yamaha came out of the gate at the first USCC cross-country race and claimed a win in the Pro Open class aboard a Nytro optimized for terrain racing. But was it a stock or a mod sled? And was the front suspension kit legal? That's where the drama ensued as the other manufacturers put it up for a vote in an ISR conference call and shot it down. Deemed not legal for USCC stock class racing, it was, however, deemed legal for stock class racing on the Cor Powersports circuit where it swept the Pro points and won Semi-Pro Sprint. It also won Semi-Pro Open at the USCC Oslo race with Ben Lindbom behind the bars, took second in USCC Pro Open points under Ross Erdman and Erik Frigon used one to run the table in the USCC East Semi-Pro Improved class, going unbeaten in races and claiming the points. Erdman also raced this same basic sled at the Soo I-500. Follow along as we go inside what makes this Nytro special.

Why Do Musicians Bother Playing Music?
Art and life co-habitate, informing, imitating, and enriching each other constantly. Each week in Better Living Through Music, RFT Music writer Ryan Wasoba explores this symbiotic relationship.
The worst question any musician can ask is, "Why?" As soon as any aspect of playing music transfers from visceral to intellectual, the whole process may seem silly. Having spent most of my adult life performing in bands, I am occasionally asked why I do not play music very often anymore. This made me ask the inverse question: Why does anybody play music? While every musician has different priorities, I propose that there are three main reasons: money, attention and self-expression. Few make music for just one purpose, but most land somewhere in a Venn diagram of the three.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 6, 2004 Secretary of State Colin Powell met with Haitian leaders and received briefings on the U.S. efforts in the country during an April 5 visit to the capital city of Port-au-Prince.
The secretary said United Nations actions on Feb. 29 that got former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to resign "averted a bloodbath" in the country. Powell stressed that all groups in Haiti need to turn in illegal weapons. He said groups keeping those weapons endanger Haitian democracy.
Powell praised the U.S.-led Multinational Interim Force in Haiti. He said prospects for a U.N. follow-on force taking over from the force in June are good.
The secretary met with Haitian Prime Minister Gerard Latortue and U.S. Ambassador to Haiti James B. Foley. Army Gen. James T. Hill, U.S. Southern Command chief, and Marine Brig. Gen. Ronald S. Coleman, Combined Joint Task Force Haiti commander, also briefed the secretary.
The Multinational Interim Force now has about 3,700 members: 2,000 American, 900 French, 500 Canadian and 300 Chilean military personnel. The U.S. contingent has personnel from all DoD services and the Coast Guard. Officials stressed, though, that Coast Guard cutters patrolling off Haiti are not part of the force.
Marine Lt. Col. Dave Lapan, a spokesman for the task force, said that the situation in Haiti is improving day by day. "The number of incidents are down and acts of violence are decreasing," he said in a phone interview. "Businesses are reopening and operating. Traffic is getting bad again, and that is a good sign."
Lapan said there have been no recent shooting incidents involving multinational troops.
Combined Joint Task Force Haiti, he said, is continuing its mission assigned by the United Nations. The force is helping to bring stability, security and humanitarian supplies to Haiti, and is shaping the environment for follow-on force.
Confiscating illegal weapons is part of the security and stability mission. "If we see weapons carried openly or being used in a threatening manner, we confiscate them and turn them over to the Haitian National Police," Lapan said. "If we hear of illegal weapons caches, we seek those out. In two instances, armed gangs negotiated the turn-in of their weapons."
To date, the force has collected more than 100 weapons of various types. Lapan said the command is considering other methods to get weapons off the streets.
Lapan said French forces are in the northern part of the country around Cap Haitien, Fort Liberte and Gonaives. U.S., Canadian and Chilean troops are based in and around Port-au-Prince.
Brazilian officials have expressed an interest in leading the follow-on peacekeeping force. Brazilian officials have visited Haiti to get the lay of the land, officials said.

The focus of this care plan is on the supportive care rendered by family, significant others, or caregivers responsible for meeting the physical and/or emotional needs of the patient. With limited access to health care for many people, most diseases diagnosed and managed in the outpatient setting, and rapid hospital discharges for even the most complex health problems, the care of acute and chronic illnesses are essentially managed in the home environment. Today's health care environment places high expectations on the designated caregiver, whether a family member or someone for hire. For many elderly patients, the only caregiver is a fragile spouse overwhelmed by his or her own health problems. Even in cultures where care of the ill is the anticipated responsibility of family members, the complexities of today's medical regimens, the chronicity of some disease processes, and the burdens of the caregiver's own family or environmental milieu provide an overwhelming challenge. Caregivers have special needs for knowledge and skills in managing the required activities, access to affordable community resources, and recognition that the care they are providing is important and appreciated. Nurses can assist caregivers by providing the requisite education and skill training and offering support through home visits; special clinic sessions; telephone access for questions and comfort; innovative strategies such as telephone or computer support, or "chat groups"; and opportunities for respite care.

Last week we shared how to use a bubble map to describe. This week we would like to share with you the double bubble map. Sometimes the children get confused between the two thinking maps, even though they are used for different purposes. A double bubble map is used to compare and contrast. The two items that will be compared are written in the two larger circles. The center bubbles are the things they have in common and the circles on the outside are true only for the separate items. This is essentially a Venn diagram, what most of us are familiar with. (A student once told me that a Venn diagram is the old school version of a double bubble map!)
This map helps the students to look at something and organize their thoughts. In kindergarten, we use this thinking map every week. At the end of the weekly lessons, the children are asked to compare and contrast two of stories that we read during the week. A bubble map helps the children to see the comparisons and the differences.
Note: When using a double bubble map, you do not need to have opposite points for the differences. For example if there is a girl in one story, you don't need to write no girls in the story on the opposite bubble.
At Home:
* Compare and contrast two family members.
* Compare and contrast two stories that you read together. Discuss which story you liked better.
* Compare and contrast places that you visit. My children compared and contrasted Taiwanese night markets to the one we went to on the weekend.
* Make a double bubble map to compare two items to determine which item you want to buy or which place you want to visit.

Apple reality distortion field goes right up to 11 on ebook autographs
September 30, 2013 | 3:36 pm
That infamous Apple reality distortion field that brought us such technological breakthroughs as the extra few nths of an inch on the iPad Mini screen is obviously cranked up to the max again. Apple has just filed a patent application (United States Patent Application 20130254284) with the US Patent and Trademarks Office for "Embedding an autograph in an electronic book." And many tech journalists are reporting this as cutting-edge Apple innovation - despite the fact that other solutions for digitally autographing ebooks have been around in the market for years. I mean, it's an area that is so well-established that...

It has already been proven that the law will not only NOT improve healthcare, but render it extinct and bankrupt this country. If this law goes into effect, producers like me will check out and refuse to pay for your free doctor visits. I will eliminate benefits for my employees and let them join the rest of the losers on the government teet and watch it all die slowly from a villa in the Caribbean.
This is one of the most horribly racist and anti-faith articles I've ever read. While it has been long known that Mr. Gill is an avowed liberal racist (yes I know that is redundant), but he should really be fired for spewing this hate. The term "lily white" to describe Caucasians in Iowa is the same exact thing as using the word "Ni**er" to describe African Americans.
And so what if Jindal supported Perry and Perry didn't win? If memory serves me, the majority of Jindal's endorsements lose. Which just goes to show he is more interested in supporting who he feels is the best person rather than who is the most skilled campaigner. At least he has conviction, unlike to atheistic, pagan left whose only religion is government and their Messiah is Obama.
If the Times Picayune has any integrity, they will fire the racist James Gill, or at least offer David Duke a column of his own to balance out the editorials!
Richardson has no chance. He is mediocre at best and if he didn't play for Alabama he would not have been a blip on the radar this year. RG3 wins, Luck 2nd, Honey Badger 3rd, Trent 4th, Ball 5th.
Book it.
(Then of course, the Honey Badger takes it and runs untouched back to New Orleans!)
Barack Obama took over a country with a upper respiratory infection and gave it full blown AIDS. Bottom line, vote for anybody but Obama.
1st of all, the truth usually hurts. 2nd, Ole Miss is not just on the way down. They were never really up! Every time they win a few games they always get exposed and go right back to the cellar.
Worst. Program. Ever.
Ole Myth has never been a power in the SEC West and never will be. They have never played for an SEC Championship and even though they falsely claim 3 national championships, they really have zero. (Check the NCAA website before crying muffinheads!)
Their only hope as a program is to join Conference USA and hope for a Liberty Bowl every few years. Their poser fans and klan marches on game day are an embarrassment to college football.
News flash: You're not rich. You are redneck trash who buys faux crystal chandeliers at Target and pretends to be something you are not. Dressing like Eddie Bauer models doesn't take away from the fact that the tructh is much closer to "O Brother Where art thou?"
Geaux to hell Ole Miss! Another loser coach bites the dust!
But JJ and JL practice against the greatest defense in the history of college football every day. Bammer was a myth just like we thought and we won't see them again until next year. Period.
Let's not pretend like the Gambit is a news publication. Clancy Dubos is a radical left wing liberal who supports fellow liberals like Nick Lorusso. John Labruzzo's true conservative principles are a threat to Clancy's socialist agenda so he took money from the Lorusso campaign to write an absolute hit piece on Labruzzo that is full of easily provable lies!
Let's not forget that Lorusso's hand picked replacement during his military leave was a hard core liberal who tried to subvert the 2nd amendment and thought nobody would notice! Let's put these RINO's out to pasture and keep this seat GOP!!
It should be noted that Jarrett lost about 40lbs in the offseason and hit the gym like a mad man. He's in the best shape of his life...doesn't sound like a man who expected to be a backup this year. He showed up to spring camp to battle for the starting job and according to the coaches, almost won it.
Let's just hope the O-line gives him the time he needs to make good decisions, find his routes, and read the defense. Fortunately, the slowest guy on LSU's defense is faster than the fastest guy on Oregon's offense, so a mediocre offensive outing by the Tigers should secure a W tonight.
Tucker is already wildly successful in the private sector and has created lots of jobs not to mention economic development. If you want to crucify a politician for living off of the public, you have the wrong guy. Tucker could afford to buy Louisiana for his own personal garden but instead chose to serve the public and make sure the legislature didn't get out of control. While SOS is admittedly not a sexy job, it's an important one for the state's relationship with the business community. As far as I can see, Jim is the only candidate in the race that has any business experience at all.
Yet another knee-jerk liberal reaction that makes people "feel good" but will have disastrous results. Well done!
I can assure you that Brother Martin doesn't want to be Jesuit and Jesuit doesn't want to be Brother Martin. But both are on a different level than Rummel, that's for sure. Rummel is just another JP public school that charges tuition and teaches religion - no other difference except for not being co-ed.
At one time Rummel was a decent academic institution but that has gone away in the last 15-20 years. Stop trying to bash J and BM just to make up for your own shortcomings.
As for not wanting Rummel to become Brother Martin, congratulations! It will never, ever happen!
"Some of you should ask yourselves what you don't like about the Health Care Bill.. Let's be specific... You really don't know.. do you... "
Of course we know...the people who oppose it are the only ones who actually read it! All you need to know is that Obamacare forces American citizens to buy something from the government - which is clearly the the most transparently unconstitutional measure to ever pass Congress in history.
Obama is gone next year, Obamacare is gone shortly after that, and Mary probably won't run again..but even if she does, she's gone either way. Nothing any of you commies can do to stop this train!
The publicity alone gets LaBruzzo re-elected this fall!
Actually planned parenthood, while they don't provide actual abortions on-site, will send anyone who wants an abortion to a nearby clinic to have one at which point the clinic sends a referral fee back to planned parenthood. It's how they get around killing infants with our money.
Organizations like this should only be able to exist on their own funding. Nothing but another commie-front scam like ACORN!
I guess you haven't heard of the 17 yr old Weiner was sexting - the story is still being relatively ignored by the lamestream media but this was the final straw that got weenie man to at least take a leave of absence (which is just a pre-cursor to resignation or expulsion from Congress).
Don't worry, you'll hear about it soon enough, or at least when weenie man registers as a sex offender.
Looks like the number just climbed to 5...this afternoon a woman was murdered. It's seriously time for citizen vigilantes.
FAIL! The President has absolutely shown NO proof whatsoever that he was born in Hawaii. ANYONE, I repeat ANYONE can go to Hawaii and get a "certificate of live birth". All the stuff you said about the original being bound in a book is made up - even the governor of Hawaii (who is a serious Obammunist) says that no such original exists that can be produced.
This is why it's a controversy. Obama won't release it because he doesn't have it. That doesn't mean that he wasn't actually born in Hawaii, but it does mean he can't prove it and has been lying about it. None of this changes the fact that he is currently President so in the big picture it doesn't matter - but it does support a pattern of behavior of this mystery man Obama being a liar and being very evasive about his past.
I'm more interested in his connections to radical Islam, multiple aliases and passports, and the fact that to this day nobody can prove he ever went to Harvard. Now the country overwhelmingly agrees that he is an incompetent President and is nowhere near as intelligent as he was hyped up to be. Not to worry, in less than two years this whole Obama experiment will be over. Feed your white guilt while you can because it will be a long time before another radical like this is elected.
It's pretty poetic to see a Chris Roberts sign floating in the street since he's been on the Council all this time and has done absolutely nothing to prevent street flooding in a thunderstorm! Way to go TP!!!
Thanks again for checking in Chris! The court records show that Baudier was never served about the hearing, so how could he possibly know to show up? Just another corrupt machine judge doing a favor for his blow buddy Chris Roberts so they could make a news story - which by the way makes Roberts look 100x worse than Baudier!
Can you say backfire of the century?

Blowback on the industrial blower battle
Last week, I wrote about a dispute that Houston-based HSI filed with the Environmental Protection Agency over stimulus money for industrial blowers. I mentioned an example involving a city in Ohio that had awarded a contract to one of HSI's rivals, KTurbo. Today, I heard back from Kim Woelffer, KTurbo's sales manager at its branch […] [Read More]
Is greed OK if it's tempered with charity?
As we begin the annual season of bank bonuses, some Wall Street institutions seem to be getting the message.

Which Wall Street firm will hire Chris Dodd?
I must admit that when I mentioned the options for Sen. Chris Dodd's retirement a couple of months ago, I never expected the Connecticut Democrat would call it quits so soon. As chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Dodd can have his pick of Wall Street jobs, much as his predecessor, Phil Gramm, did. Which […] [Read More]

BCS championship is already lost for most of us
My esteemed colleague Richard Justice has called on all "real" Texans to rally behind the Longhorns in the Bailout Bowl on Thursday. Sure, easy for him to say.

Anyone who has shed a significant amount of weight knows that the worst part of taking it off is the dreaded plateau.
It's that place where after dropping pounds like unwanted suitors, you suddenly can't shake them off. It's where it is easy to get discouraged and give up and begin that long, slow creep back to where you started.
