How to Give
There are many ways to make a charitable gift. The simplest way, of course, is to write a check. Because of tax provisions that encourage charitable giving, however, there are many other ways of giving that you might not have thought of before — ways that allow you to make a larger gift than you had thought possible, or make a gift with assets that you might not have realized were available to you.
Gift-giving Options
Make an Online Gift »This link will redirect you to our online giving page where you will be asked to enter your contact information. On the second page you will be able to select your gift amount, gift designation, and payment type. Thank you for your support!
Credit Card
You may use a credit card to give online by telephone, or mail or fax. Automatic monthly installment payments are another convenient option.
Check or Money Order
Please make checks or money orders payable to "Pacific School of Religion" and send to the Office for Institutional Advancement, 1798 Scenic Ave., Berkeley, CA 94709. Please indicate the purpose for your gift, and in whose name the gift should be acknowledged.
Matching Gifts

For donors who wish to give later in the year, or in monthly installments, PSR is happy to send pledge reminders.

By MELANIE STEELESun Advocate reporter
Hiring documents for multiple internal positions with Price city were modified for final approval May 12 at the regular council meeting.
Concerns ranging from the necessity of education to the vagueness of wording were addressed.
When changes in the building maintenance department lead to the group being incorporated into the building services department, new job descriptions were established for the employees being hired into the new positions.
Four jobs were discussed by the council, with the emphasis directed to job descriptions and the type of employees Price city wants to have.
The description of a part-time custodian one position with the city was the concern of councilwoman Jeanne McEvoy.
In the minimum qualifications of the job, applicants are required to have a minimal education, less than kindergarten to grade 12.
However, McEvoy said she felt that any position with Price city should require applicants to have an education.
McEvoy pointed out that the educational system goes to great lengths to get everyone educated and accommodates all manner of physical and learning disabilities, not to mention the laws that keep youth in school.
"Now days, anyone who does not complete a program is defiant or often lazy," commented the Price council member.
It was McEvoy's recommendation that the verbage of the job description be changed to require a high school degree or equivalent.
"A person who completes the high school certificate is worthy of a job here," stated the council member.
Although Mayor Joe Piccolo agreed that the change to the educational requirement was appropriate, he posed the question about people who are currently in the process of earning high school degrees.
Piccolo said he wanted to assure applicants that a part-time job such as the custodian position was open to a 17-year-old high school student, too.
The council approved changing the requirement to completion or progress toward a high school diploma or equivalent.
Councilman Joe Christman also mentioned that there was a flaw in the wording of the job prerequisite that applicants have a least one year of experience.
The council member felt the wording was too vague.
"What's the definition of experience? A life experience? An LSD experience?" quipped Christman.
The requirement was changed to one year of related experience.
Similar changes were made to the custodian two position.
For the facilities technician one and two positions, McEvoy requested that applicants be required to learn how to run the light board in the civic auditorium.
According to McEvoy, the job description does not specify running the light board and often the responsibility fell back on her husband when late night productions were taking place.
Piccolo pointed out that recent efforts have been made to place the responsibility of operating the light system at the civic auditorium on the groups using the facility.
The council decided to specify that the job required an understanding of the light board.
After the job descriptions were put to rest, Piccolo addressed the members of a ninth grade civics class attending the council meeting and observing the process as the council sifted through the city business. While government planning can get tedious, it is important, noted the mayor.
"Sometimes it's like reading a telephone directory, not very interesting,"added Piccolo.
In an adjoining meeting of the Price redevelopment agency, several local businesses were reimbursed for improvements to their locations.
Curves, a new exercise facility located at 95 East Main, received $400 from the agency for exterior cement improvements on the property.
Los 2 Amigos received a $23,093.40 reimbursement for phase two of a redevelopment project, while Silver Steakhouse received $4,196.25.

BUFFALO, NY-- An Arcade woman is facing up to 25 years in state prison after pleading guilty to stealing more than a million dollars from her former employer.
The Erie County District Attorney's office says Debra Davis of Java Lake Road admitted she took $1.3 million while working as a bookkeeper for the American Stainless Corporation.
The District Attorney says that companies should hire an outside auditor every year to prevent this from happening elsewhere.
"As we so often see in these cases, it's the bookkeeper. The one that is responsible for the financial well being of the company to keep the books, so to speak, is the one who is stealing the company blind," says Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita.
Davis says she used the money to gamble, buy luxury items and even her own tow truck business that she named "Triple Star Towing" after her favorite slot machine game.

I posted this in the tech support forum, but wanted to know if anyone else has seen this and believe it will be more visible here and we might get some more information:
Issue: Client that spawned server paused match. Player disconnected simultaneously and the pause didn't take. Console shows a weird error "Unknown client command: complaint" or something to that effect. Other player is still 'frozen' as in 'match pause' but players can join and play.
I kinda think it's an exploit. Player claimed his client crashed, but he disconnected simultaneously with the 'match pause' rather than timed out. Literally X paused match, X Disconnected appeared simultaneously. Rounds continued to cycle even though there were no players in game and my client was unable to move or look.
Also, server spawn disappeared from Quakelive, though it was still active. I dunno if it was a glitch that someone exploited (pause/dc script that replicates this), or they were hijacking a server or what...
User was mildly raging and never explained why he thought he needed to pause match in the first place. As far as replicating, he claimed to have accidently executed the wrong CFG (this was in the middle of a firefight during a round, and we had been playing several matches). I don't know why he didn't think it was a bizarre glitch, why he chose to pause the match at such a point WHILE executing the 'wrong' CFG. I don't know why he claimed his client crashed when it clearly disconnected. I don't know why this players server spawn disappeared from QuakeLive server list immediately though it was still active. I don't know why this server sent me the ambiguous, and never before seen, "Unknown client command: complaint". I would actually like to report this player to be honest as there is just too much weird about this. If it's possible to hijack QL servers it would be a big issue

A Fort Drum soldier scheduled to be deployed soon to Afghanistan with the posts 10th Combat Aviation Brigade won $20,000 Saturday at Davidson Chevrolet/GM.
More than 4,200 people entered the contest and 20 names were selected to take turns trying different keys to start a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. Spc. Quentin Patton, San Antonio, Texas, was the 18th person to try to start the car, and the engine promptly turned over.
Spc. Patton had his choice of the car or $20,000. He was leaning toward the car but his girlfriend, Spc. Connie McKenney, a Texas native also heading to Afghanistan soon, talked him into taking the cash. He also could have chosen a 2013 Ford Fusion or a 2013 Nissan Altima.
Spc. Patton arrived at Fort Drum last year from an assignment in South Korea. His upcoming deployment will be his second to Afghanistan.

Submission glibc Steering Committee Dissolves; Switches To Co-Operative Development Model->
bheading writes: Following years under controversial leadership which, among other things, led to a fork (which was in turn adopted by some of the major distributions) the glibc development process has been reinvented to follow a slightly more informal, community-based model. Here's hoping glibc benefits from a welcome dose of pragmatism.

Benefits of Bulk Candy
While Candy.com believes that candy is a necessity, we understand that for some it's more of an indulgent treat.
For both personal enjoyment and retail scenarios alike, bulk candy is a great way to get sweet offerings at a price that's easy on the wallet. More than simply bins, bags and barrels of unwrapped pieces, modern bulk candy simply gives buyers an option to procure their favorite brands and flavors in larger quantities and lower per-piece cost. Even popular names are available in bulk candy through our online candy store, ensuring that even the pickiest candy lovers can get exactly what they crave.
Bulk Candy for Stores
When enticing customers with candy, many of the common obstacles to making a sale come in the form of quantity. For reasons that range for diet-busting amounts of calories to packages that simply contain more than is desired, many potentially profitable items remain on the shelves when there's interest present. Stocking candy in bulk enables buyers to select exactly the amount they want or need, frees up valuable shelf and counter "real estate" and offers you a better profit margin with bulk pricing. In fact, drawn in by the experience of selecting their own bulk product or mix, those formerly reluctant customers may just end up buying more!
Bulk Candy for Homes and Offices??
The candy jar has long been a symbol of welcome, and there's never been a better time to fill it with delicious treats. Candy in bulk is an economical choice when it comes to stocking your candy jar, bowl or other container of delights; Candy.com offers everything from lollipops to hard candies in amounts that satisfy any sweet tooth. Stop wasting money paying store prices for small bags of marked-up treats – you'll find much larger quantities at much lower prices in our bulk candy store, and we'll ship your order right to your front door!
If you've been craving a pound of lollipops or 5 pounds of luscious gumdrops, you've come to the right place to buy candy online. Get the sweetest deals at Candy.com and enjoy bulk candy bliss.

Submission Judge orders man to apologize to wife on Facebook->
Marillion writes: "Photographer Mark Byron was so bothered by his pending divorce and child visitation issues that he blasted his soon-to-be ex-wife on his personal Facebook page. That touched off a battle that resulted in a Hamilton County judge ordering Byron jailed for his Facebook rant – and to post on his page an apology to his wife and all of his Facebook friends, something free speech experts found troubling."

I considered quite a few different types of stands and this seems to be the most bang for your buck, these are excellent quality and look brilliant as well, you will not be disappointed if you buy these,I'm quite happy with them,my only beef is that the speaker platform does not angle or turn like the other model but I knew this when I bought it,this height of speaker works best with my studio.

Comments about Ultimate Support MS-90-45 45" Studio Monitor Stand Pair:
I wanted a good stand to hold my studio monitors higher up and not take up too much room! A great studio add on!I'm very happy with my purchase,it arrived well packed and is solid aluminum construction the base and feet are solid cast so it is heavy duty and worth the price. The extra savings made this too good of a deal to pass up! Thanks again musiciansfriend!
Comments about Ultimate Support MS-90-45 45" Studio Monitor Stand Pair:
I bought the 45" models to allow me to stand up and mix, there is a slight compromise while sitting, but the Mackies large sweet spot makes up for it.
I'm pleased with the look and structural integrity, plus the interior channels for ballast and cables make a very worthwhile and attractive package that I would recommend to anyone.
They improved the appearance of my new studio immediately!
I was not going to put 35 pound monitors (Mackies) on cheap stands. I bought these on a whim and am very impressed.
They are well designed, attractive and strong as an ox.
I don't have anything to comapre them to, but I do not think I could have done any better for my needs.

COPENHAGEN Farmers were advised during an informational meeting Tuesday to decide in advance where they want poles to be placed in their fields for a 10-mile overhead planned along Route 12 in the towns of Champion and Rutland for the Cophenhagen Wind Farm project.
OwnEnergy, the Brooklyn wind developer planning the $198.5 million project in the town of Denmark, will allow farmers to negotiate with land surveyors where poles will be placed in fields to ensure they have enough clearance to operate large farming equipment, said Matthew J. Brower, an agriculture resources specialist for the state Department of Agriculture and Markets who hosted the informational presentation. The company plans to build 49 wind turbines that will generate 79.2 megawatts of electricity.
Only three of the farmers attending the meeting, held at Grace Episcopal Church, will be affected by the 115-kilovolt power line for the project, and none of them opposed the plan. The overhead power line will run west from a substation to be built near the Jefferson-Lewis county line in Copenhagen and connect to a National Grid substation near Burrville.
Nearly all of the farmers to be affected by the lines have already signed contracts with the wind developer, which is paying farmers $8,000 per acre for easement property it has leased in areas where the line passes through tillable farmland. The easement includes 50 feet on each side of the power line.
Mr. Brower has worked for more than 20 years with wind developers to protect agricultural land in projects across the state. He advised farmers to be vigilant for construction practices that could pose a risk to their land. First, he said, they should ensure the placement of poles affords sufficient space to operate large farm equipment, such as corn planters and sprayers. OwnEnergy plans to install single wooden poles, each designed to hold three wires, which will need to be 200 to 400 feet apart. Farmers should be meticulous about where poles are placed, he said.
You need to make sure the poles are far enough from the road so that you can run a corn planter through evenly two times, he said.
Compaction of topsoil caused by construction work can also be a risk, Mr. Brower said. Workers who operate heavy machinery on saturated soil should be required to use protective matting to safeguard the land, he said. If they dont, farmers could end up with large ruts in fields. An agricultural inspector will be required to be on site during construction to ensure standards are being followed.
Jerry B. Wichelns, a local representative employed by OwnEnergy for the past two years to plan the project, said about 90 percent of the land needed to install the power line has been leased. The Denmark resident said OwnEnergy will reimburse farmers for any damage to land, and the company intends to use crawler-type machines designed to minimize the impact on topsoil.
Farmers with questions about the project may contact Mr. Brower at 1-518-457-2851.

The term emerging markets encompasses a plethora of countries with more than half the world's population, an enormous variety of cultures, climates and levels of development, from the BRICs to Sub-Saharan Africa. After decades and even centuries of lackluster economic performance, they are now the fastest growing markets in the world. Every relevant player in the business world is striving to capture this growth. Defining a strategy for where, when and how to invest is a major challenge in the complex and fast moving world of emerging markets.
This course is about improving the odds of placing winning bets in emerging markets, by thinking strategically about the waves of opportunities that arise as countries develop. The underlying theory for this course is that, in spite of the many apparent differences, emerging markets develop by following common patterns that result from similar priorities, needs and wants of consumers. As a result, development tends to follow certain predictable paths. Understanding these patterns gives foresight of which opportunities are ready to be fostered, or are likely to emerge, in which markets.
The objective of this class is to develop capabilities to think strategically about capturing growth in emerging markets. The aim is to combine the development of a conceptual framework with real life consulting projects that will define a strategy in an emerging market for a specific client opportunity. An additional benefit of this class is to gain some basic consulting skills, including framing and defining the scope of the strategic opportunity to be analyzed; developing hypothesis and defining the analysis to address them; gathering the right data and information; synthesizing information to drive key conclusions; and presenting well structured recommendations and conclusions.

Rain displaces residents, floods Arizona streets
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Heavy rain has flooded local streets across central and
northern Arizona, and displaced residents on the Navajo Nation.
Tribal spokesman Erny Zah says flooding forced people in Tonalea, Chinle and
Many Farms out of their homes this week. He says more than a dozen homes have
been damaged.
A shelter was operating in Chinle with the help of the American Red Cross.
The National Weather Service had issued a flash flood watch for much of Tuesday
covering large parts of northern and central Arizona.
Meteorologist Robert Bohlin says gauges in the Yarnell Hill Fire burn area had
measured an inch of rain or more, leading to flooding on local streets.
Bohlin says scattered thunderstorms will persist Wednesday. Drier weather is
expected Thursday and into the weekend.

- 1/2 cup crème fraîche
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup mint leaf chiffonade
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
To prepare the favas, split open the pods and remove the beans. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan filled with salted water to a boil over high heat. Place a bowl filled with ice water near your stove top. Drop the beans into the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes (this is longer than most recipes instruct because the beans are not cooked again). Drain the beans and quickly plunge them into the ice water. With your fingernail, pierce the skin of each bean near one end and squeeze the bean gently to pop free of the skin. Don't worry if the beans separate into halves. You should have about 2 cups beans.
In a bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the fava beans, mint leaves, and lemon zest and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours before serving to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper before serving. Serve chilled.

|Researchers have been able to extract frozen bacteria from Antarctic ice samples ranging in age from 100,000 years up to eight million years old. Working in a lab, they were able to revive the bacteria -- with warmth and food, the bacterial colonies began to grow again. The younger bacteria grew much more healthily than the older samples did, however -- a finding that could cast a shadow on some theories of how life got its initial start on Planet Earth. The researchers found that in the Antarctic samples, every 1.1 million years the DNA was chopped in half. If bacteria were to have arrived on Earth riding on a comet or asteroid, the DNA of the organisms would likely have been too corrupted by damage from cosmic rays during their multi-million year voyage to be viable. An article describing the new findings is being published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Baseball America released their Florida State League Top 20 Prospects List yesterday, and it contains a healthy sprinkling of Mets with Jenrry Mejia at #7, Ike Davis at #9, and Kirk Nieuwenhuis at #13. Brad Holt just missed qualifying for the BA list by a handful of innings.
BA on Mejia:
Mejia has a 94-95 mph fastball, and he can cut or sink it depending on the situation. He flashes a plus curveball, though it's inconsistent and he struggles to locate it at times. Unlike a lot of young pitchers, he's willing to throw his changeup, but it has too much velocity and only rates as an adequate pitch at this point.
Mejia has a solid pitcher's frame. His delivery and lack of secondary stuff could lead to an eventual move to the bullpen.
I disagree with the assessment of Mejia's change-up. It's his second-best pitch right now, and his pitching coach loved the movement on the offering. Yes, it's unusually hard, but it also has unusual movement, which makes it hard to command.
BA on Davis:
Thanks to his quick hands, Davis has plus power. He uses a squared-up stance that some managers felt left him too often hitting off his front foot, but in his defense, he's not bothered by breaking balls and offspeed stuff.
Along with his power, he stood out for his work at first base with good hands, solid agility around the bag and an above-average arm for the position.
Davis acknowledges that he has a tendency to get out on his front foot. He describes himself as a fastball hitter and I've seen breaking balls give him fits. If he's not bothered by breaking balls why did he OPS 481 (!) points better against righties than lefties in the FSL? The primary difference from a hitter's perspective is picking up the release point, and dealing with the opposite break on offspeed stuff.
BA on Nieuwenhuis:
As a tall, rangy center fielder with power, Kirk Nieuwenhuis had FSL managers reaching back in their memory banks for a comparison….
When the season began, Nieuwenhuis was a high-ball, opposite-field hitter. Pitchers found they could bust him inside with fastballs, but he worked on shortening his swing and creating a better hand path, which made him much tougher to contend with. …
While Nieuwenhuis did make some nice adjustments, there still are concerns that he swings and misses too much. Despite his size, he's a tick above-average runner who's even faster underway. Though he played center field in 2009, his lack of overwhelming speed eventually will force him to right field, where his strong, accurate arm will fit well.
I'm not convinced that Nieuwenhuis has enough bat to play everyday in right. That many strikeouts in A-ball usually pressage a drop in batting average at the next level. The counter-argument is that the changes he made to his swing will allow him to adapt in AA. In addition to the contact issues, I'm not sure he's got the pop to play in right either.
Jeff (Pittsbugrh):No Reese Havens? I'm a bit surprised by that. He showed good power (considering the league) and pretty good plate discipline. His average was a bit low, but so was his BABIP.
J.J. Cooper: Havens was No. 21 on this list, as proof here is the writeup I did on him as a bonus for subscribers. As you can see from the writeup, the big concern is where he will play long-term. The Mets' first-round pick in 2008 out of South Carolina, Havens was promoted aggressively to the Florida State League for his first full season. He generally held his own, although there are significant doubts that he'll stay at shortstop much longer. A hand injury and other nagging aches and pains sidelined Havens for three weeks in June and another two weeks in July. The hand injury explains in part why Havens struggled to get his average above .250 all year, but he did show solid pitch recognition and the ability to drive the ball for power. Havens power is more gap-to-gap and he's a tick-below average runner. Havens' bat will have to produce because he does not project as a big league shortstop. His range is below average and his problems with his footwork has some scouts wondering if he can handle second base. If not, his arm strength is enough for a corner outfield spot, but there are questions whether he'll have enough bat for an outfield corner.
Oh man. If you can't hit .250 in Advanced-A at age 22, you don't have enough bat for a corner. On the flip side, if he was never fully healthy, he has some kind of excuse, and wrist injuries really do linger.
- Julian (New York): What is your true accessment of Kirk N. He tore up the league and he has the build to continue to grow. he looks like a big leaguer to me. Does he have a higher ceiling the Davis?
J.J. Cooper: Not according to the scouts and managers I talked to. He may have had a gaudier season but there are concerns about how much he swings and misses and he's not a center fielder at the big league level. He can make it as a corner outfielder, but in general observers like Davis' potential at the plate more than Nieuwenhuis.
If Cooper really doesn't think Nieuwenhuis is a CF, then he likes Nieuwenhuis's bat even more than I do.
