Encountering Other Faiths
Encountering Other Faiths (EOF) is an interactive education and dialogue series designed to break down stereotypes and explore challenging interfaith issues. Based off the book written by Sr. Maria Hornung, Encountering Other Faiths addresses the imperative of inter-religious dialogue within the world and within the United States.
The adaptable Encountering Other Faiths curriculum supports the development of skills in the practice of inter-religious discourse and gives practical guidance for individuals and study-groups on how to encourage inter-religious dialogue in its beginning stages.
A version of the Encountering Other Faiths Workbook can be downloaded for free below for groups wishing to begin to engage in meaningful interfaith encounters. For religions within the growing pluralistic world of the twenty-first century, this is indeed a kairos movement.

2010-2011 Camaro Vararam Intake Kit
Vararam HAS GIVEN CAMARO OWNERS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN asking for!
The new 2010-2011 Camaro system from VR
represents a major leap forward in terms of real world performance
deliveredwith the quality that Camaro owners and tuners alike have come to
expect."Quite simply, this is the Most Powerful ram air system we have
ever produced for a Road Car."This is the most powerful induction
system of any kind for the new 2010-2011 Camaro. Our competition will talk,
but they will not outflow or outrun it. They will never outperform it!
Every aspect of induction technology has been used in this system.
The days of a "cone with a pipe" are dead,
because there is no air colder than Ram Air!Features•
Adjustable mass airflow meter housing -allowing you to richen the mixture
manually if needed for fine tuning!• Helmholtz Resonance System
designed into the unit- this is used to reflect the sound signature back
into the intake manifold to boost mid-range TORQUE and HORSEPOWER by 1.5 -
1.6%.(this is a form of Ram Air tuning)• Flow capacity from 1400CFM –
2000CFM+• NO TUNE and TUNE models - SUB FEATURES BELOW• One piece
seamless MAF / filter housings-for smooth laminar airflow• Guaranteed
gains of 3tenths or 3mph through the ¼ mile with the NO TUNE unit,
and 4-5 tenths and 4-5mph with the TUNE models!•
Engineered to produce a broad power curve, not just peak horsepower. We
gave up top end power to produce maximum torque & power
under the curve from the air horn design & resonance
tuning. (See dyno charts)• True ram affect -reducing
intake temperatures inside the intake manifold up to 20 deg
"BELOW" ambient temperatures at WOT and -5 deg at cruising speeds!
Data log verified with EFI Live for a 4 - 5% boost in
power over static dyno hp numbers. (See below)• Quick
and easy installation, no cutting or drilling on the car install time
is about 10min!• NO WATER Issues! – The high mount
location ensures safe operation in all weather conditions.•
Construction - Rotary molded and vacuum formed hybrid construction allowing
for production to precision machine tolerances.• The Venturi System
creates thrust while reducing unwanted turbulence keeping the MAF readings
clean even at speeds of 150mph!• The air horn is a product of months of
work in on-road testing to create the best horn for quick windup from
600RPM to 5800RPM ("Tune Models" use a higher RPM biased horn for more peak
flow) Its converging and diverging shapes and sharp angles are the work of
the latest in CFD - the end result is an air induction system that will
accelerate airflow to the far side of 100% of road speed at the throttle
body bell mouth (The exact number is our secret). We have detuned this
system three times to tame it for the street.• The filter - Custom made
to VR specs featuring low pressure drop with specific flow rates and
filtration that meets OEM requirements. Washable and reusable – with a
Green filter cleaning kit!• Materials –VR High Density material
(Reducing unwanted heat soak by 8 - 12% over conventional plastics and up
to 100%+ compared to metal.) Military spec ABS featuring a flat black sand
blast finish for that muscle car look. Billet aluminum rear hose clamp ring
molded into the ABS for extreme strength.• A Multiple Patent Pending
design!• Guaranteed Power & Performance gains!
This is the "No
Tune Required" model, and will provide 20-30+ HP and 22-35+ Lbs Torque. If
your Camaro is already heavily modified (excess of 500HP) you will require
the "TUNE" model.

Past Themes 2006-07
On The Fringes
Submitted by Assistant Professor of Music David Steinau, this theme encourages the examination of theories, beliefs, practices, and cultural and artistic developments that have been or are now on the fringes.
"On the Fringes" attempts to explain why certain theories, beliefs, practices and developments, and those who create or espouse them, remain outside the mainstream while others find their way into the standard canons.
It examines the groups within society that have, or have not, migrated from being on the fringes to being more politically and socially significant and how they have done so or been unable to do so.
The theme further explores the elements that produce a mainstream perception of what is avant-garde, revolutionary, preposterous, extremist, unreasonable, conventional, conformist, ordinary or obsolete, and the forces that cause those identifications to change.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
In La Recoleta, a safe and upscale neighborhood in central Buenos Aires
The CasaSur Art Hotel is located in La Recoleta, one of the safest and most upscale neighborhoods in central Buenos Aires. It is within walking distance of several museums, shops, and restaurants, but most sites will require a cab ride.
Residential La Recoleta attracts tourists and locals alike with its marble buildings and top-notch boutiques. Alvear Avenue is one of the main thoroughfares in the area, and has some of the most beautiful Parisian-style apartment buildings in the neighborhood, as well as a couple of magnificent palaces.
Aside from great shops, the neighborhood is also home to major attractions like the National Library, a handful of art museums, and some interesting art galleries.
On an attractive, tree-lined street in the La Recoleta neighborhood, the CasaSur Art Hotel is a luxe, boutique property with 36 rooms. Decor is sleek with modern furniture and dark hardwood floors. Comfortable rooms have thoughtful touches of technology, including iPod docks and wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. While bathrooms are relatively small, they are sophisticated with marble vanities and glass walk-in showers. The highlight of CasaSur is an upscale spa complete with Jacuzzi, and the hotel also offers its own restaurant serving food inspired by India and the Mediterranean.

Using Sandstone's Trak mobile app, our customers are able to monitor their key fertility stats over time, identify sources of fertility impairment, and take steps to improve their health and chances of conception. Trak is more than just a test kit… it's a comprehensive solution to help you conceive.
Responding to urgent national defense needs, Sandstone's founders begin work on a new point-of-care clinical diagnostic technology at Sandia National Labs that will enable first responders to rapidly screen large populations in emergency scenarios. The "SpinDx" system uses centrifugal forces generated in spinning disposable plastic disks to simultaneously quantify protein biomarkers and white blood cells from small volumes of whole blood.
In several head-to-head comparison tests at Sandia, SpinDx is shown to outperform gold standard laboratory methods in terms of speed, sample volume, and sensitivity. The team is awarded federal research grants to expand the SpinDx assay portfolio and further develop the handheld, battery powered device. SpinDx evolves from a science experiment into a versatile, powerful, cutting-edge diagnostic platform.
Sandstone Diagnostics is founded in July 2012 to develop comprehensive diagnostic products that bring clinical tests out of the laboratory and into the hands of the people who need them. The company secures a license to Sandia's technology and continues to build its own technology portfolio to build, manufacture, and distribute products that meet both the performance specifications for clinical testing and reliability requirements for consumer use. Sandstone's team gels into a scrappy start-up ready to change the way people monitor and manage their health.
Sandstone's lead product, Trak, is born from the company's unique capability to rapidly quantify cells in biological samples. Trak is a new approach to fertility improvement that empowers couples to monitor key sperm parameters at home as they take steps to boost their fertility and improve their chances of conception. Sandstone is also awarded a grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health to further develop its core diagnostic platform for monitoring the health status of newborn babies in neonatal intensive care units.
Having proven that Trak meets the accuracy of a laboratory semen analysis, Sandstone is currently focused on bringing the product to market. The company is developing a mobile app and online educational resources to complement the hardware product and give couples a comprehensive approach to fertility improvement. Sandstone is also collaborating with external development partners to expand its core suite of clinical assays for fertility applications as well as additional medical conditions. Sandstone is off to the races and positioned to change the face of clinical testing and health management.

Hello All, Following discussions with regard to use of the WW field it was decided to establish a "Friends of West Wyalong" register. If you are a member of the NSWFFS then you are automatically a "Friend" in that you can fly on WW whenever you like (with prior notification to NSWFFS). If you have a current MAAA membership card and are not registered through the NSWFFS, you can become a "Friend" by paying $30/year (July 1 - June 30) and be issued with a card to that effect. In this way NSWFFS can defray some of the costs of operating WW and ensure that those using the field have contributed. A sample card is shown below. Money orders or Cheques made out to NSWFFS can be sent to the Treasurer: Tahn Stowe 3/152 Brook St Coogee 2034. Your numbered card will be sent to you by return post.

Body 2 Fit are delighted to launch Pre & Post Natal Yoga starting w/c 2nd February 2015.
Pre-Natal Yoga classes offer classical yoga techniques of breathing, movement and relaxation specially adapted to suit your individual needs through the different stages of pregnancy- helping you to prepare for birth and to help to get back in shape afterwards.
Post-Natal Yoga (please feel free to bring your baby along) focuses on stabilizing the pelvis, regaining overall strength and tone particularly in the pelvic floor and abdomen.
Studio One, at Body 2 Fit's Wynyard Clinic, is home to the only FULLY equipped Pilates equipment studio in the North East.
New for 2015 - We are excited to give our current and new clients the opportunity to enjoy the use of the equipment in Studio One at their own leisure, in conjunction with their current Pilates classes and / or 1-2-1 sessions.
Each client will be offered individual 1-2-1 sessions to create a personalised programme which they can use in Studio One at a time to suit their diary. There are also a range of package options available to ensure there is something to suit all needs and budgets!
A UK-wide CSP survey showed that 32% of people who have desk based work experience physical pain during working hours at least once a week. A further 65% reported back pain as the most common problem. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as back pain are one of the biggest causes of sickness absence on any given day and are estimated to cost society and employers around £7.4 billion a year!
With more and more of us having the option to work from home it's imperative to have the correct seating arrangement to reduce the risk of back pain and other associated aches and pains.
£320 for 5 sessions
Usual Price £350
What is CORE bodywork?
CORE bodywork focuses on the release of layers of fascia throughout the body. The fascia is the body's connecting web of tissue that controls our overall alignment. We often lose our optimal alignment from events of both physical and emotional trauma. Over time this can lead to discomfort, reduce mobility and effect physical performance. This is a unique form of treatment that gives you a greater sense of all over freedom, physically and emotionally. It will dramatically improve posture and movement along with an enhanced understanding of how the body operates. Body 2 Fit are delighted to be one of the first clinics in the UK to be able to offer CORE work.

This is a phase 1/2 open label, multicenter study to assess the safety and efficacy of brentuximab vedotin in combination with bendamustine in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) or other CD30+ expressing hematologic malignancies. Dose escalation in phase 1 will proceed according to a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation design. There will be no intracohort dose escalation. Three patients will be assigned to the starting dose level 1. If no dose limiting toxicities (DLT) are observed after one cycle of treatment, and if the start of cycle 2 treatment is not delayed greater than 7 days for any toxicity possibly related to drug, trial accrual proceeds to the next dose level and another cohort of 3 patients is enrolled. If 1 patient in a cohort experiences a DLT, then the cohort is expanded to 6, if 2 or more patients in this cohort experience a DLT then the dose level decreases. If none of the additional patients experience a DLT (1 out of 6) then dose escalation continues. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the highest dose level at which <33% of the dose cohort (0 of 3 or 1 of 6) experience a DLT in the first cycle.

Nick Blackburn made his second start for Rochester since being optioned from Minnesota. He faced left-hander Casey Crosby who came into the game with a 6-2 record.
Toledo was able to push across the first run in the top of the third when Justin Henry scored Andy Ciriaco on a sacrifice fly. The Mud Hens put up two more runs in the top of the fifth after the Wings made two straight errors.
The Red Wings finally got on the board in the bottom of the fifth when Chris Parmelee's ground out brought Rene Rivera home. Danny Valencia followed up with a single that drove in Matt Carson from second, making the score 3-2 in favor of the Mud Hens.
Tsuyoshi Nishioka tied the game up in bottom of sixth when he doubled to left field, scoring Sean Burroughs from first. Nishioka scored himself when Michael Hollimon laced an RBI single into right, making the score 4-3 Rochester.
Blackburn threw 82 pitches, 59 for strikes. He gave up five hits and a walk, and only of the three runs he was charged with was earned.
Caleb Thielbar worked the eighth inning, and Lester Oliveros pitched the ninth for Rochester.

On Thursday, Nick had the honor to once again participate in the "Teacher for a Day" program.
This year, Nick enjoyed teaching with 5th grade teacher Julie Daniels at Lent School in Southeast Portland.
One of the day's lesson plans included vocabulary words for the week.The word that stood out for Nick was "inspired."
Inspired is exactly how Nick felt about his experience as a teacher.
He was inspired by a dedicated teacher who puts all of her students first every day, and by the young people who welcomed him into the classroom and demonstrated their passion for learning.
Special thanks to the Lent School community, Julie Daniels, and her students for a wonderful and inspiring experience, and to the Portland Association of Teachers for organizing the event.

Great stove!
Great stove! After I bought it I got a you should have bought a (blank) stove theyre better I wilderness camp and fish out of a boat so the larger MORE STABLE design and the 1.5 Ltr pot of the Helios works for me. Ive camped with a little stove owner and watched his dinner go to the ground because of the design. If you want a stove that doesnt take up a lot of room but works like a big one consider it. It does boil water in the specified time so its great when you cant wait for coffee in the AM. I used it for 4 days, pasta, soup, eggs, oatmeal the only thing that you need to do is pay attention to whats going on in the pot, it does produce heat fast.

5 Pretty in Peach Blushes
5 Pretty in Peach Blushes
Peach can be a really wearable color that can look natural on any skin tone. Cooler complexions will find that peach-hued blushes can help mitigate any natural redness on the cheeks without emphasizing it like a pink blush might. Warmer complexions are easily freshened up with a pop of peach on the cheeks. Reader Sirinthorn wanted to see what my five picks would be for peach blushes, and here they are:
- Chanel Espiegle— peach-orange with a satiny sheen
- MAC Peaches — classic peach with subtle brown undertones
- Make Up For Ever #14 — soft peach
- NARS Sex Appeal — pale peach
- MAC Melba — dirty peach-brown with a matte finish
What's your favorite peach blush?

Here are a few tidbits:
- H1N1 Mexican Swine Flu is man-made in a laboratory and was purposely released.
- Biden said during the campaign that Obama would be challenged within the 1st 100 days of his Presidency, which coincides almost exactly with the emergence of the virus.
- Panasonic telling all of its employees in Mexico to send their families back to Japan. This happened back in February and they said to do it by September. Many fear this current bug could mutate and return as a more deadly strain like in 1918. Such a return could occur in September.

SPY 610 Developing a School-wide System of Behavior Support
Today's schools are charged with improving school climate with a broad range of systemic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes. School-wide support includes procedures and processes that are intended for all students, all staff, and all settings. The school-wide PBIS process emphasizes the creation of systems that support the adoption and durable implementation of evidence-based practices and procedures, and fit within on-going school reform efforts. Participants in this course will work in collaborative groups to gain awareness, knowledge, and skills regarding SW-PBIS and to create action plans to build (or further develop) school-wide leadership teams who want to move more toward a preventative, positive, and educational model of school-wide discipline.

Seattle Sounders center back situation looks grim following Patrick Ianni's freak injury
Jan 29, 2013, 10:41 AM EDT
Seattle has efficiently built depth in most positions; center back was perhaps the only position where manager Sigi Schmid could scarcely afford a key injury.
So, wouldn't you know it!
Seattle Sounders center back Patrick Ianni left Seattle's practice Monday on crutches, wearing a protective boot over his left foot. And wait for the real kick in the head here:
The veteran defender was injured during a jump test, performed routinely as part of a fitness assessment in most professional sports.
Said manager Sigi Schmid:
That's a first. That's a history maker. I don't know how anybody injures himself on the jump test, but he did. Landed funny, I guess. So we've just got to wait and see what the MRI says.
Meanwhile, we'll tell you in two words what this means to Seattle's plans going about month out of its 2013 MLS opener: not good.
Ianni and Jhon Kennedy Hurtado are the team's only experienced center backs on Seattle's roster. There was Jeff Parke, of course, but he went to Philadelphia in a December trade, leaving utility defender Zach Scott as "next man up," in the central defensive rotation.
Clearly, Seattle management and supporters will keep fingers crossed that this isn't a long-term injury.
Funny thing is (not funny "ha-ha," clearly), this is the second consecutive year a player in the MLS Pacific Northwest was undone by a freak preseason injury. Remember last year that Darren Mattocks' preseason for Vancouver was shortened by burns suffered in a kitchen fire.
- cody4784 - Jan 29, 2013 at 11:05 AM
time to call FC dallas!
- dreadpirate82 - Jan 29, 2013 at 11:06 AM
Hope this is just a quick injury that has him back on the field shortly. It would be a shame for all fans to be deprived of stuff like this:
Just not against SKC next time, please.
- Steve Davis - Jan 29, 2013 at 11:37 AM
Thanks … I thought about his "wow" moment last year but needed to move on to more U.S. stuff. So, I'm glad you linked into that goal. (I actually said "WOW!" last year when he hit it)
- dreadpirate82 - Jan 29, 2013 at 4:49 PM
My words when he hit that shot were similar, but I'm pretty sure I added a few expletives and insults for Mr. Ianni. Oh darn, I just had to watch it again. Siiiiiiick.
- spikenapoleon - Jan 29, 2013 at 8:46 PM
SFC's problem is much bigger than missing centerback. it is the OWNERSHIP (and Management which is also a part owner). the ownership is unwilling to (may also be incapable to) invest more $$$ to bring in world class players.
- dhagentj - Jan 30, 2013 at 3:03 PM
They are already up against the cap as it is. What do you want them to do?

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A central location for business and leisure travelers - just steps from the Champs Elysees
The InterContinental Paris Marceau -- in the 8th arrondissement and steps from the Champs Elysees -- is ideally situated in the center of Paris's fashion, business and tourism hub. Within walking distance are a number of restaurants as well as Paris's top shopping district on avenue Montaigne and the Faubourg Saint Honore. In addition to shopping, guests will be able to walk to L'Arc de Triomphe. Business travelers can access the La Defense business area via the nearby George V metro station. The hotel's concierge team can assist with airport transfers and reservations.
This historic Parisian building near Champs Elysees -- once a private mansion of Comte de Breteuil, and formerly known as the Crowne Plaza hotel -- is now owned by the InterContinental brand. But the property doesn't feel like a chain, offering 55 rooms and stylish boutique design by Bruno Borrione. Well-dressed guests linger in the communal areas, which include a lounge, and outdoor terrace surrounded by potted plants and classic architecture. The attached jazz-themed restaurant serves continental breakfast in the mornings and international gourmet cuisine for lunch and dinner. Rooms are modern and bright, with red accents, black and white ceiling murals, iPod/iPad docks, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and flat-screen TVs. Bathrooms -- also impressive -- include sliding doors, deep sinks, shower/tub combos and Hermes toiletries. A number of features were provided with business travelers in mind, including the high-tech meeting space and business corner, which are decorated with hip wall murals and atmospheric lighting. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.

Bass Drum Pedal Chains - oil/lubricant?

Re: Bass Drum Pedal Chains - oil/lubricant?
Altho the WD 40 guys crow about the product being an excellent lube...
WD-40 and Bike's
Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product should not be used on bike chains.
While WD-40 Multi-Use Product it is not a grease, it is formulated with strong lubricating oils and other ingredients, and is a terrific product to use for bike maintenance. It does not attract dirt or moisture to metal surfaces – just be sure to wipe off any excess WD-40 Multi-Use Product before riding.
they do admit it has no lasting power and were sooo not able to dodge the fact they had to create a new product, WD FARTY BIKE. Read the key words 'long-term'.
For long-term lubrication and other specialized bicycle maintenance needs, check out WD-40® BIKE. Developed specifically for cyclists and mechanics, this high-performance line of bicycle care products is sure to become a mainstay in the toolboxes of bike mechanics for decades
So yeah, don't use regular WD 40 as a lube, unless you want to do it often.

It's almost unthinkable that PSU Football would go dark for a year or two.
But we probably need to get whacked pretty hard to really change our ways.
Penn State has not done ONE THING differently since this whole sad saga began to unfold.
Still have football. All the games still count. Nothing less is being spent on football -- in fact, probably more is being spent this year.
No reaction that really says they're sorry, except a statement that says they're sorry and they take "full responsibility."
Even the statue is staying. That guy who paints the mural in town has more guts.
As an alum, I am looking for something from Penn State, and I haven't seen it yet.
This is the worst scandal in college athletics in history. I'd be surprised if the NCAA didn't act accordingly,
Well said, Moon.
Anyone following these events should read about Dr. Triponey's tenure at Penn State. Just Google her name and you'll find the stories.
Why were the Pop Tarts out after 3:00 PM?
Penn State is a world-class university with many of their programs at or near the top of their disciplines. The World Campus was ahead of its time even back when it was established. The Dickenson Law School, Hershey Medical School, Smeal MBA programs and Schreyer Honors College are all top notch. This list just scratches the surface.
The really strong network of local campuses such as Harrisburg and York demonstrate Penn State's commitment to reach the entire Commonwealth. Corporate recruiters place Penn State students at the top of the list. And applications to Penn State have increased in the past year.
I hope when people think of Penn State, they think of teaching, research, and community service -- not just football, because Penn State is so much more than football.
I understand that the poor little skunk had just finished his first year of law school.
So a reporter calls an American city a "liberal vipers' nest" and that gets past your editors?
Where's the balance in your reporting? Or is that a quaint concept these days?
Actually, Mr. Rational Harrisburg, the mainline churches that have become more liberal over time are struggling to fill the seats.
The churches that are standing for something are attracting more people and new clergy.
Regarding your statement that the Catholic Church is crumbling, well, let's see ... in the Harrisburg area alone there's the NEW St. Margaret Mary, the NEW Holy Name of Jesus; the relatively NEW St. Katherine Drexel and the relatively NEW other one on the west shore (name escapes me).
Then there's the relatively NEW St. Joseph's School and the NEW Good Shepherd School.
Have I missed anything? Oh yes, of course, the NEW and not-opened yet Bishop McDevitt High School!
I think what you may be noticing is that the old completely worn out buildings are being replaced, given the new patterns of where people actually live.
But he didn't just walk away. He reported it. Had he not reported it, it might still be going on!
No, you are not reading this right.
McQueary called Paterno and Paterno's INITIAL reaction was to treat McQueary as if he were another job applicant.
Then McQueary told Paterno, no, it's about something else, and proceeded to tell him what he saw the night before.
I know one thing bk, if good people sit around on their hands and wait for the state to help, they will certainly be disappointed.
Dear td6td6:
You appear to be unfamiliar with two concepts -- actually reading something closely, and coming up with an idea that may inspire others to action.
If you read my comment closely, you'll find that I was suggesting a course of action that a group of interested parents may wish to pursue. I don't have children of that age in their situation, so I am not the one to "do something".
However, I CAN suggest that others who ARE in that situation have far more resources at their disposal to pursue than to sit around complaining about the school district. It just offends me that a parent would simply shrug their shoulders and say, "sorry Honey," and not do everything to make good things happen. My motto in life is, "if you're looking for a helping hand, look first at the one at the end of your arm!"
My hope is that someone reads what I suggested and gets inspired to take action.
Actually, since that comment was written, there is a new story on Penn Live this morning about two Derry Street non-profits that are revving up plans for kindergartens.
"Honey, I know you were looking forward to Kindergarten, but the school district doesn't have it, so here's what we're going to do...
... a bunch of us parents went down to the Education Department at Penn State and recruited a couple of Early Childhood Ed professors who volunteered to put curriculum together for us, for free
... we have heard from six retired teachers who want to come and teach for us, again for free
... Messiah and Elizabethtown Colleges are sending some of their best and brightest students and faculty to teach
... the libraries on both shores are willing to locate books and materials for us
... we've heard from a ton of homeschool educators in this area, who would love to help get us going
... and we've got three area churches that are willing to provide space.
So Honey, using the resources and true good will we have in this community, you will go to a Kindergarten this year, one that is even BETTER than the one you were going to go to!"
He always will be.
Don't know about you guys, but i see a lot to like here. The new man can make decisions.
Now, a little luck here and there, and who knows?
Go LIONS!
Well said, SA.
Holy Spirit Hospital is a very fine institution, run by competent, caring physicians and staff.
Grover Norquist, darling of the right wingers, said that he wanted government to be small enough to be "drowned in a bathtub."
Those who listened to Rush, Hannity, Beck, RJ Harris, Durgan and their ilk over the years learned this lesson over and over -- government is the enemy. Just keep cutting taxes and give generous tax breaks to the super-rich and prosperity will trickle down to the rest of us.
And now the results are here, for anyone who is honest enough to look at them.
I'd be very careful calling for a complete overhaul of the system, though. Because the same "engineers" who got us here are very anxious to get their hands on it and drown it in a bathtub.

AV & Presentation | News
Mitsubishi is rolling our a new family of bulb-free hybrid laser/LED projectors. The new line, called LaserVue, is debuting this week at the FETC 2013 conference taking place in Orlando, FL.
The LaserVue projectors combine a red LED, a green phosphor wheel, and up to 34 blue laser diodes to produce what Mitsubishi described as "bright, truer blues and purer greens--rich and accurate colors--using a single-segment wheel." The hybrid configuration is estimated to have a life of about 20,000 hours in standard mode, considerably longer than bulb-based projectors.
In addition to the hybrid laser design, the new models include an integrated thin client, allowing them to be used as presentation devices without the need for a separate PC. (See "'Cloud Projector' Integrates Thin Client for PC-Free Presentations" for further details about the cloud capabilities.)

Since 1965, Ron St. Pierre has been working to develop the young people of Bangor through education and sports, especially baseball.
Ronald J. St. Pierre of Bangor retired from teaching after 26 years at Bangor High School and went to work for his coaching colleague and friend John Fitch who had founded the engineering firm, The Fitch Company. Ron was responsible for getting the business incorporated in 1992 and is still the Chief Financial Officer of the corporation.
St. Pierre played baseball in college and has coached youth baseball since 1978. Ron also served on the Board of Directors of BANSCO Federal Credit Union, was a board member of the Barking Foundation Scholarship Committee for 15 years, and served 20 years on the Bangor Legion Baseball board.
St. Pierre is a founding member of the Mansfield Stadium Committee (the Stadium is a community gift from Stephen King). He has been Field Manager since 1992, planning and executing, on a volunteer basis, the field schedule and the upkeep of what is considered the best natural baseball playing surface north of Boston. A top-caliber baseball facility is a result not just of the stadium, but even more so, a result of constant attention and care for the field.
Doug and Senator Nichi Farnum say that Ron knows "when to water, mow, and change the infield mix, but Ron really knows how to lead young men." His young workers learn a great lesson when they see Ron work as hard, or harder, than they do.
Ron and his work have been instrumental in developing Bangor as the official home of the Senior Little League World Series starting in 2002. Teens from all over the world enjoy Bangor's, and Mansfield Stadium's, hospitality. Ron St. Pierre has provided a field of dreams to Bangor.

AUBURN, Mass. — The Auburn Senior Center will continue a longtime tradition with a meal and celebration for the young at heart this Valentine's Day.
"We call it Heart Day," said Patty Hubbard, nutrition manager. The event, scheduled for Valentine's Day, is for singles, friends and couples who are 60 years and older.
"It's for everyone, because a lot of people have lost their spouses," she said.
Organized by Elder Services of the Worcester Area, the annual meal brings seniors together on the holiday for a healthy meal and entertainment as well as "heart-to-heart conversation and heartfelt laughter," said Hubbard.
"It's good therapy to help seniors keep going and form friendships," she added.
A few men have lost their spouses recently, she said. The men may be shy and quiet, but they took a chance and came out to the senior center, Hubbard said.
"But they found a niche, and they're thrilled to be here," she added. "They really make a place for themselves here."
Additionally, the roast turkey dinner offers seniors the opportunity to enjoy a full nutritious meal that's good for the heart, Hubbard said.
The event is scheduled for noon Feb. 14 at the Auburn Senior Center at 4 Goddard Drive. Seniors can register by calling 508-832-7799.

Helen L. Tinlin
Helen L. Tinlin, age 74, of 6250 Roswell Road S.W., Sherrodsville, died suddenly Friday evening, April 16, 2010, in her residence.
Born Dec. 30, 1935, in Cleveland, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Rose Sommer Fousek.
She was part-owner of the Atwood Lanes Bowling Alley at Dellroy. She was also a bookkeeper, and kept records for both the bowling alley and for G-Bear, Inc., where she worked since 1985.
On May 16, 1959, she married her husband Rae C. Tinlin, who died June 9, 2004.
Helen and her late husband Rae migrated to this area from Cleveland in 1964 and lived in the same residence since. She was an enthusiastic and accomplished bowler, and was a member of the McCook Area Women's Bowler's Hall of Fame. She acted as secretary/treasurer for various bowling leagues for 30 years. She implemented the Junior Bowling Program at Atwood Lanes and exerted much of her effort towards the success of the program. Helen was a skilled painter and enjoyed drawing and reading as well. She liked to raise flowers around her home, but mostly she treasured the company of her family.
She is survived by three sons and a daughter, Larry R. Tinlin of Plain City, Stan (Jill) Tinlin, Charlie (Karen) Tinlin, and Mrs. Todd (Laura) Bittaker, all of Dellroy; her ten grandchildren, Dustin and Bryan Tinlin of Columbus, Bryce Tinlin of Plain City, Ryan and Zac Tinlin, Jaime and Haley Tinlin, and Madison Rae Bittaker, all of Dellroy, and Olivia and Drew Schaar, both of Dellroy; a great-grandson, Max Tinlin of Columbus; many nieces and nephews and a number of brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by a brother Larry Fousek.
Funeral services were conducted April 20 in Dellroy Christ Community Church with Rev. Ron Silver and Rev. Carol McCartney officiating. Interment followed in Sherrodsville Memorial Gardens. Baxter-Gardner Funeral Home at Sherrodsville was in charge of arrangements. The family suggests memorial contributions may be made to the Atwood Lanes Junior Bowling Program, P.O. Box #162, Dellroy, Ohio 44620. To leave an online condolence, visit www.baxtergardner.com.

text: Wet N Wild Craze in The Wonder Yellows ($1.99, was LE) is a golden yellow shimmer, with a faint pearly sheen. Another polish from the back of the stash. This is similar to Wet N Wild's Goldmine, but it is much more wearable, and a lot more yellow. I really like wearing this polish, very summery. The shimmer in this is very heavy, so when you apply it you see "threads" in the shimmer. This is really common with metallic polishes, and I actually REALLY like the effect. A lot of you might not, but I dig it! I got my average 4 days with some tip wear that I tend to get with other Wet N Wild polishes. I will be pretty sad when I run out of this guy =[

Asamoah Gyan coy on future but says he is happy at Al Ain
Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan will wait until the end of the season to decide whether to make a permanent move to Al Ain, but says he is enjoying his time at the Pro League club.
Gyan is on a one-year loan from Sunderland, the English Premier League club with whom he has a contract until 2014.
"Everything is going well for me since I arrived at Al Ain," said the Ghanaian.
"I am doing so well for the club and everybody is happy of my performance. That's the most important thing for me, to be really, really happy and enjoy my time at the club.
"However, I can't decide on a permanent move until I have completed my loan period.
"Let me finish the season first and then decide where my future lies. I am honestly and definitely happy where I am playing now."
Gyan scored his 12th league goal, a penalty, as Al Ain beat Al Ahli on Friday night to extend their lead at the top of the Pro League to seven points over Al Jazira, the defending champions.
"It was an important win and I am happy to register my name in the scoring sheet again," he said, on his first Pro League match in more than two months since his return from national duty for his country in the African Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
"We won and I think this was more important. We didn't play as well as we were expected and the game plan didn't work out well for us.
"We had a little difficulty because the weather is changing now. You could see after 15 minutes everybody getting tired.
"So we faced a little bit difficulty but the important thing is that we returned with three points."

The birth of triplets on New Year's Day in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley should have been cause for celebration, but there was a terrible cost attached. The newborns' mother, Syrian refugee Amal, died shortly after giving birth, never having a chance to see her boys.
In a twist of fate, Amal's own mother had died giving birth to her. Amal, whose name means "hope," had been excited at the prospect of having triplets and had been confident about the birth. She named the three boys before they were born - Riyadh, Ahmed and Khaled - and told her husband to take good care of them in case anything happened to her.
The weather in the Bekaa Valley seemed to reflect the torment of Amal's family. Less than a week after she died, the worst winter storm in years swept through the region bringing freezing temperatures and dumping huge amounts of snow across the Bekaa. And so this family, far from home, grieve for their loss as they struggle to keep their precious new members safe and warm. Photojournalist Andrew McConnell, on assignment for UNHCR, visited the family.
A fierce winter storm swept through the Middle East this week bringing icy temperatures, high winds and heavy snow. In Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, more than 400,000 refugees have been enduring freezing conditions since snow levels not seen in many years arrived. Refugee accommodation in the Bekaa ranges from abandoned buildings to garages, sheds, apartments and informal settlements. Conditions are most difficult in the settlements, with roofing on makeshift shelters liable to collapse under the weight of the snow.
Although a great deal of winter aid has been provided, UNHCR remains concerned. Despite the agency's best efforts, the situation in Lebanon remains precarious for refugees, given the extremely poor conditions in which they live and the scattered nature of the population. It is a constant challenge to ensure that refugees across more than 1,700 localities remain safe and warm during the winter months and have sufficient resources to withstand severe storms.
Photojournalist Andrew McConnell spent two days in the Bekaa Valley, documenting the situation for UNHCR.
Bebnine is one of many small towns in northern Lebanon that have seen an influx of Syrian refugees in recent months. Many of the new residents are children, whose education has been disrupted. A lot of them must work to support their families instead of studying to lay the foundations for a bright future. This set of photographs by Andrew McConnell, documents one group of boys who risk their health by working for a charcoal seller in Bebnine. Aged between 11 and 15 years old, they earn the equivalent of less than 70 US cents an hour filling, weighing and carrying sacks of charcoal. It's hard work and after an average eight-hour day they are covered in charcoal dust. Throughout the region, an estimated one in ten Syrian refugee children is engaged in child labour.

Sandra Bullock and Demi Lovato Donate $1 Million Each to Japan Disaster Relief
CNN is reporting that Bullock sent the donation to the American Red Cross to help with earthquake and tsunami relief efforts in Japan. The contribution was made by 'The Blind Side' actress on behalf of her family.
The Red Cross reports that this was the largest celebrity donation to date, although the charity may have received larger contributions that were kept confidential at the donors' request.
CeleBuzz says that Lovato also donated $1 million to the relief efforts in Japan, and she is encouraging her fans to donate as well.
Lovato was spotted in Los Angeles holding the Japanese flag with the words "Please Help" written across it, trying to drum up monetary support for the relief efforts.
Other celebrities have joined the relief effort as well. The Daily Mail is reporting that the Black Eyed Peas are dedicating their latest video to the victims of the Japanese Disaster.
The Peas shot the video for the song 'Just Can't Get Enough' in Japan just a week before the disaster hit.
The video will now start with the message, "This video was filmed in Japan one week before the earthquake and tsunami."
And the message continues to say, "Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the people of Japan. We love you."
Lady Gaga was one of the first celebrities to lend support to the Japanese relief effort. The singer designed a white and red wristband for fans to purchase in her official online store, and she said that all sales proceeds will benefit victims of the disaster.
Gaga also revealed that the $5 price tag can be voluntarily increased by any buyers wishing to boost their monetary donations.
The Red Cross urges: "Text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific."

Kudos to Sandy and Demi. THIS, like Gaga, the Jolie-Pitts and Sean Penn is what celebrity should be used for...meanwhile Katie and Tom allow their child to munch on Penis Gummies and Charlie what's his name rants...
- Friday 18 MarchBy Opihi
This is the sort of news which should be the headliner for Pop Eater today .... not stupid penis gummi bears in the hands of a spoiled child of fading celebrity "stars".
THIS is what we need to hear. Two lovely young actresses supporting the quake victims in Japan with truly generous gifts. Not the usual paltry ten or twenty thousand publicity stunt. Some real and substantial cash.
When we start to give attention to the good deeds, more people will be encourged to follow suit. Show the generous and admirable and people will respond. Ditch Sheen and Suri and go for the real news.
I can only hope there are so few posts here because the article was filed in the wee hours of the morning. Hopefully more people will read and respond positively ...

Good for both of them.
I do remember Sandra Bullock being the first one to step up for Katrina with a million dollar donation too.

If it weren't for people like Sandra and Brad Pitt, etc... there would have been NO help for the Katrina victims. Our government blew it big time. Watch Washington send millions to Japan though. They take better care of people in other countries suffering from disasters than they do their own citizens.

I think it's wonderful when individuals willingly send money to countries in need. I know that Japan is really suffering right now. I would rather send food and clothing donations though. According to what I've heard, Japan is the 3rd wealthiest country on the planet and doesn't have the national debt the US has.

The Weekly Blab 4.9
The Weekly Blab
Volume 4, Issue 9—December 20, 2009
Happy Holidays
The holiday season is upon us, so I'd like to wish everyone a merry Christmas, a happy Chanukah, and belated best wishes for Eid Al-Adha and Diwali.
SPSU Students Go Wild
While most departments and student organizations at SPSU celebrate prior to the holidays by having a pot-luck party, the SPSU ACM student chapter hosted a Will It Blend party where high-powered blenders were used to destroy old computer parts and to let off some steam. The "party" was captured on video by the Marietta Daily Journal, and can be seen at the following link.
It's the Economy, Stupid
There's still no news about what spring may bring with regard to further budget cuts, but the news across the US doesn't look pretty. The Chronicle printed a map showing how much each state had cut higher education spending since the recession began, and Georgia is shown to have cut spending by 4% from 2008-present, compared to an average cut of 6% nationwide. Our neighbors don't look to good—South Carolina cut 20%, Florida 22%, Alabama 21% and Tennessee 18%, with only North Carolina showing an increase of 2%.
The business pages of the newspapers have lots of "things are getting better" stories, which hopefully are true, but most people are pretty fed up with the economy in general, and the banks and other financial institutions in particular. There was a particularly good article in the Wall Street Journal, of all places, about why there is a real "fear of finance" right now.
The real bottom line, it says, is that people see that the financiers promised better risk management as justification for their high salaries, but there was only risk (at public expense) and very little management. The public sees the result as Wall Street getting bailed out, and Main Street left to its own devices.
Until people get comfortable with finance again, which includes banks lending money more easily and people being willing to borrow, the economy will only grow slowly. That means that the next few years will be tight ones. What can we do to help things along? The main thing that has helped SPSU has been our rapid growth, which has gotten us both additional formula funding and additional tuition revenue. Even with the budget cuts, we've still been ahead in total dollars (at least until now). Thus, we haven't had to do some of the harsher things that other USG institutions have been compelled to. So, make sure that there are seats available for courses the last minute rush the week of January 4, teach our somewhat larger classes, and we'll muddle through this to better times.
Last Week's Trivia Contest
Last week's trivia contest dealt with the months and years. A B.B. King CD from the Szafran duplicate repository goes to the winner. Our winner is Doug Morris (Math Dept.), with 3 correct.
(1) Since the prefix dec- means "ten", why is December the 12th month?
Because the Roman calendar began in March, and December was the 10th month.
(2) The Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar. Since 12 lunar months (of 29-30 days) are shorter than one solar year by about 11 days, what happens to those extra days? [That is, how does the calendar deal with this problem?]
They are part of an extra month ("Adar II"), inserted 12 times every 19 years.
(3) Why is Christmas celebrated on a different day by western churches (Catholic, most Protestant) than by eastern churches (Orthodox)?
Because the Julian calendar (used by the Orthodox Church) is 13 days (or so) behind the Gregorian calendar (used by the Western Churches).
And two hard ones:
(4) Our current counting of years (AD or CE) was first suggested by the monk Dionysius Exiguus in the 6th century, and not commonly adopted until the 9th century. What was used before that in western countries?
Several methods—years in the reign of a monarch, years since the founding of Rome, or years since the biblical creation of the Earth.
(5) One of the reasons that the former counting of years was abandoned was that the world was supposed to end in what corresponded to 500 A.D. A more recent "end of the world" was October 22, 1844, which was the date for the second coming according to the Millerite Christian sect. When the day passed without incident, how did they refer to that day afterwards?
"The Great Disappointment"
No Trivia Quiz this week—see you next year!
