Christ thirsts for our faith, Pope tells Sunday audience
Catholic World News - March 28, 2011
At his Angelus audience on Sunday, March 27, Pope Benedict XVI said that the day's Gospel, recounting the meeting between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, makes "a clear allusion to the sacrament of Baptism, font of new life."
The Pope mentioned that when he asks for water to drink, Jesus shows his natural thirst, "a sign of his authentic humanity." But that thirst can also be interpreted in an supernatural sense, the added, "as a prelude to the Passion in which he fulfilled the work of our redemption."
"God the Father sent Him to satisfy our thirst for eternal life, giving us His love; but to make us this gift Jesus asks for our faith," the Pope explained. In an important sense, then, he continued, citing St. Augustine, Jesus was "thirsting for the faith of the woman" at the well, just as he thirsts for the faith of each individual soul.

Twenty-eight highly trained, impact-focused youth need your support to attend the 2012 Rio Earth Summit with SustainUS in order to work toward an equitable, inclusive, and sustainable planet for current and future generations. Young people continue to demonstrate their ability to drive forward change, and the need for strong youth participation in international forums like Rio+20 has never been more dire.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Youth are set to inherit a world filled with unprecedented environmental and social problems. Decisions made today about sustainable development in international governance forums such as the Rio+20 Earth Summit will shape the lives of future generations for decades to come. Despite the tremendous impact social, economic, and environmental policies will have upon the lives of young people, policy debates around issues of sustainable development remain inaccessible to the vast majority of youth.
How will this project solve this problem?
SustainUS instills delegates with a strong understanding of policy issues, trains delegates on media outreach, campaigning, and lobbying, and creates pathways for youth participation in hard-to-access, high-level governance forums. Young leaders attending the Rio+20 Earth Summit will collaborate with international youth to influence government officials to embrace and implement policies that ensure a just and livable future while strengthening transnational cooperation among young people.
Potential Long Term Impact
For over ten years SustainUS volunteers have coordinated the creation of a wide, far-reaching network of personally engaged leaders who understand that international cooperation is essential to a future in which all people recognize the inherent equality and interdependence of social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Individually, the skills delegates gain from attending conferences like the Earth Summit empower them to return to their own communities to realize this future.

Sure, Assange sees himself as sort of a high-tech information broker version of Robin Hood—shedding light on the dark dealings of the powerful so the little guy can see—and many other reporters doubtless give themselves similar romanticized job descriptions, but that's bogus for two reasons: 1) We already know this guy is a fraud, willing and able to distort information he gets his mitts on to present the opposite of the truth, and 2) tolerating any of this, no matter how seemingly harmless, sets a bad precedent. It emboldens leakers, and even if today's batch didn't get anyone killed, you can't be sure tomorrow's won't. And let's be clear: odds are, people are already dead because of Julian Assange.
Ironically, Beinart links to another Beast commentary published today on the subject by Tunku Varadarajan, whose take is of course far better. Varadarajan notes that Assange is a radical America-hater who "has not engaged in a single act of 'exposure' that disrupts our enemies," and that the candor enabled by privacy is an essential part of meaningful negotiations. Most importantly, he points out that the conduct unveiled undermines the whole point of such leaks:
[T]here is nothing that suggests that any great American global conspiracies are afoot. All this is the embarrassing release of diplomatic pillow talk: None of it is particularly surprising or alarming; and certainly, none of it is damning. The United States government, the leaks make clear, is often stupid, but never malevolent.
And even if there was—even in the fantasy scenario of an intrepid truth-seeker finding real, explosive evidence of wrongdoing by our leaders—Varadarajan notes one final difference:
There are those who make comparisons between the Pentagon Papers and WikiLeaks, not least Mr. Assange himself. If that is so, will he turn himself in to face the consequences of his acts, as Daniel Ellsberg did in the case of the Pentagon Papers? "I did this clearly at my own jeopardy," Ellsberg said, "and I am prepared to answer to all he consequences of this decision."
WikiLeaks' latest leaks may not be the nightmare some fear, but they're a bigger deal than Peter Beinart admits, ultimately because they are symptomatic of a government that cannot secure control over its own dealings. We are at war, and this is no way to fight it.

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
With a proof mintage of 291 pieces, this date is widely known as being the most plentiful date of the type, quite possibly having been sold in extra numbers to eastern U.S. business moguls of the Gilded Age, just ending at the same time as the production of the gorgeous Indian threes were also drawing to a close. It is likely that well-heeled collectors of the day knew that this curious denomination would soon cease to be produced, which possibly accounts for the extra proofs made in 1888 (although Breen comments, as have many others, that the end of the three dollar gold production, in its commercial version, coincided with the end of the three cent postage stamp, for which one of these coins was a handy way to purchase a hundred such stamps). While 'available,' the proofs of this year are far from common, attested to by the fairly modest numbers of those certified by all grading services. Hard times and a devastating world war were soon coming to America: a sizable percentage of those proofs made in 1888 went into hiding, were melted, or were simply spent through the early 1930s. This cataloger (BL) has personal knowledge of one of these being found in a bank's change in the mid-1920s. The result of this passage of time was that few truly choice examples exist today--a fraction of those minted.

Lance Thomas had the game of his career on Friday afternoon as he scored 21 points and six rebounds to lead the Duke Blue Devils past Duquesne 95-72. The Blue Devils were coming off a four day rest and they came out fast and well rested as they built a 20 point lead heading into halftime and then never looked back.
Thomas had this to say about his performance after the game:
"I feel like [that performance] was a little long overdue," Thomas said. "On any given night, any of our guys can actually have a game like that. We have such a balanced team, such a deep team, that something like that can happen on any given night, and it says a lot about our team that we can do that."
While Thomas led the team with 21 points, Kyle Singler added 21 points while Nolan Smith chipped in with 11 of his own. As a team, the Blue Devils scored 31 points off of 19 Duquesne turnovers.
It was balanced scoring attack for the Blue Devils as 11 different players scored in the game. The only player that played but did not score was Olek Czyz who played three minues and was 0 for 1 shooting the ball.
Duke will now look forward to their game on Tuesday night at Purdue. This will be a very tough matchup for the Blue Devils. The game is part of the ACC – Big 10 Challenge and will tip off at 9 ET so fans on the East coast will have to stay up late for this one. It will be a good game and great challenge for the team early in the season.

Well first off, I wasn't able to watch the game today as I was out of town last night and didn't return home in time for the game. At first I thought the game started at 3 eastern but no, it was 1 eastern. Whoops!
Looking over the game recap and box score it appears that the Blue Devils used a strong first half and pressure defense to pull out to a 47-28 lead at halftime. Nolan Smith scored 12 of his 14 points in the first half to lead the Blue Devils.
Gerald Henderson (14), Kyle Singler (13), and Jon Scheyer (12) were the other players that scored in double figures for Duke.
Duke played without co-captain Greg Paulus who was held out with a forearm contusion. They were also playing after only one day of rest since getting back from two games in New York City so it was nice to see the team come out and play well right from the get go.
The team will now have four days of rest before their next game which will be on Friday. Duquesne will travel to Cameron Indoor Stadium for a 3:00 EST game. I look for the Blue Devils to improve to 7-0 on the year with a 15-20 point victory.

The Duke basketball team finished up their short stay in New York City with a 71-56 victory over the Michigan Wolverines on Friday night. With the the win, the Blue Devils won the 2k Classic and improved to 5-0 on the season.
Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler led the way for the Blue Devils as they picked apart the 1-3-1 defense that Michigan threw at them. Smith had a season high 16 points while Singler had 15 points. Singler also had eight rebounds and four assists while being named the tournaments MVP.
Gerald Henderson went 4 of 10 from the field as he finished with 12 points. I still feel that Henderson could be a little bit more aggressive and attack the basket even more however. He is really settling for the jump shot when he can take it hard to the basket and atleast get to the free throw line.
The Blue Devils have a short rest as they will be back on the court Sunday afternoon against Montana. Game time is set for 1:00 EST.

It was a tale of two halves for the Duke Blue Devils on Wednesday night as they defeated the Southern Illinois Salukis 83-58 at Madison Square Garden. Things sure weren't looking good for the Blue Devils in the first half however as they struggled from the floor and had turnover after turnover it seemed like.
At halftime it was a 29-23 lead for the Blue Devils but in the second half they came out and played lights out as the scored 54 points in the second half to pull away for the victory. Gerald Henderson scored all 20 of his points in the second half and had a thunderous dunk that got the MSG crowd up off their feet. Kyle Singler scored 13 points which all came in the second half as well. Jon Scheyer was right there with Singler as he put in 13 points as well.
Brian Zoubek was the only other Blue Devil player that scored in double figures and he scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds. It was a pretty good game for Zoubek, the best he has played so far this season.
Nolan Smith did have an awesome dunk in the game as well. Instead of giving the ball up and grabbing an assist, he took it hard to the basket and threw down a one handed dunk over two Saluki players. Up to that point the Blue Devils were playing sloppy and appeared to not be up for the game. I feel that Smith's dunk got the team and the crowd into the game and that is when the Blue Devils started playing a lot better.
Now the team will await the winner of UCLA and Michigan who are playing now. I expect UCLA to come away with the win and then we will have a classic early season matchup against Duke. This will be a great game for Duke no matter if they win or lose. It will be one of those games that really get you ready for conference and post season play.
Are you looking for some tickets to upcoming Duke games? Grab them now before prices get to much more expensive with the holiday season coming up.

Talk about a surprise on Sunday afternoon for the Duke Blue Devils. Rhode Island gave the Blue Devils all they could handle as they led for most of the game until Kyle Singler nailed a couple of free throws to give the Blue Devils the led for good late in the second half. The 82-79 game was Duke's third win of the season as they opened up with a 3-0 record for the ninth straight season.
Jon Scheyer was the man for the Blue Devils as he finished with 23 points. Thirteen of the 23 points came on 13 of 13 shooting from the free throw line. Singler was right behind Scheyer in the point column as he scored 21 in the game.
Lance Thomas and Nolan Smith both chipped in 10 points each as well.
The reason the Rams made a game of is it because of the hot shooting from Jimmy Baron who was shooting lights out from beyond the arc. Baron nailed eight three pointers in the game and was hitting them from so far back, some fans probably thought it was J.J. Redick back at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Up next for Duke is a Thursday night game against Southern Illinois who is currently 2-0 on the season. The game will be played at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Duke came out strong on Tuesday night as they defeated Georgia Southern 97-54 to move onto New York City in the Coaches Versus Cancer Classic. Once again it was Kyle Singler leading the way for the Blue Devils as he finished with a game high 19 points.
Starting point guard Nolan Smith had another good game as he finished with 13 points. Greag Paulus and Gerald Henderson both had better games as well as they both chipped in with 11 points each. Henderson was playing very athletic last night and if he continues to play like that him and Singler can carry this team very far.
Every player on the Duke roster scored except for Steve Johnson who did see five minutes of playing time in the game.
The Blue Devils cut down on their turnovers from their first game against Presbyterian as they only had 11 against Georgia Southern so that was another nice things to see.
Duke will now travel to New York City to continue play in the Coaches vs Cancer tournament and play November 20th at Madison Square Garden against an opponent that is unknown at this time. Before that game however they will have a home game against Rhode Island on November 16th.

BYRON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Residents in the town of Byron have voted unanimously against a measure that would have made gun ownership mandatory.
Fifty people showed up for Monday night's town meeting to vote against the article. Many people who spoke at the meeting said they were against government telling them what to do.
The vote comes less than a week after voters in Sabattus rejected a similar proposal.
The Oxford County town of Byron is home to 140 residents, but it has made recent headlines due to the mandatory gun ownership proposal.
The question that residents voted on read, "Shall the town of Byron vote to require all households to have firearms and ammunition to protect the citizens?"
Anne Simmons-Edmunds is on the select board and supported the article. She said it was largely symbolic and its purpose was to make a statement in support of Second Amendment rights.
Simmons-Edmunds said her intent was not to go door-to-door to make sure everyone had a gun, but rather the article presented a chance for the small town to come forward and take a stand in support of gun rights.
"Yes we're here to rock the boat, but we're here to rock it effectively and informatively, and power to the people. If you like it, vote for it. If you don't, I'm okay with that too," Simmons-Edmunds said.
The Oxford County Sheriff's Office said it was opposed to the article because even if it was passed, it was illegal under state law.
Chief Deputy Hart Daley said the article was unenforceable.
"To enact an ordinance such as this and to have a town come together and vote on it I personally feel is a waste of resources and people's time," Chief Deputy Daley said Monday afternoon.
The town meeting took place Monday evening at the Coos Canyon Schoolhouse.

HTC was one of the first handset makers to announce some of its devices will get the recently introduced Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade. The Taiwanese company promised HTC One owners it will offer the highly anticipated update in 90 days.
Moreover, HTC also stated the One Google Play Edition units will receive the Android 4.4 KitKat update in just 15 days since the platform's official announcement.
Last week, the company started the rollout of the Android 4.4 KitKat update for HTC One Google Play Edition globally and no one though the unlocked version of the smartphone may receive the same update in such as short time.
According to the latest statements from HTC USA, Android 4.4 KitKat should have arrived for HTC One sometime in January.
However, in a surprising move, the company announced recently all unlocked HTC One and Developer Edition units in the United States are now eligible for the Android 4.4 KitKat update.
As expected, the update is pushed OTA (over the air) in stages, so it might take a while until it reaches all users. Those who have yet to be notified on the update can manually check for availability by going to Settings / About phone / Software updates.
It is also worth mentioning the update provided by HTC comes with Sense 5.5 UI as well. HTC One max was the first smartphone to ship with the latest version of Sense and now HTC One users will also get it within the Android 4.4 KitKat.
Other improvements that will be added soon after the KitKat update is applied include things like Chromecast and Bluetooth MAP support, Chrome web view, Close captioning, Device management, HDR+ photography and more.
In other news, at least two other HTC smartphone have been confirmed to receive the Android 4.4 KitKat update in January, DROID DNA and EVO 4G LTE.

Unfortunately, the first bottle out of twelve was corked so I had to open another one. A very deep red from central Italy, dark, spicy, tannic and never ending. Reminds a bit of Rosso di Conero. Excellent for meat, venison and cheeses. Read More

District 9 is a new movie coming out soon that seems right up my alley - it's about aliens and with an interesting storyline: the aliens seem to have arrived on earth like refugees or something, and are living in different areas - such as 'District 9'. I saw the trailer in Brisbane recently, and at first it looked like a documentary about refugees in a big shanty town or something. But then you see the huge spaceship and alien beings.
They have a pretty cool website - it's that new kind of marketing, called cross-media marketing, I think. The principle is that you generate interest in the content of one medium (e.g. a movie) in another medium (e.g. websites). The first time I remember noticing this was in relation to 'Heroes' - if you type 'Primatech' into Google, you came to an actual site of a company doing what Primatech was meant to be doing, and there's even some "Information Concerning Noah Bennet", who has left the company, apparently
Anyway, the District 9 website is set up with 'user contributed' videos, links to services from Multinational United (MNU), which I guess is the big evil corporation in the film, games, and even a blog - MNU SPREADS LIES
that has (amongst other things) a YouTube video of an anti-MNU protest
So, check it out! I'm going to go, with any luck with a ticket to a Nuffnang screening, but anyway it seems like the kind of film I can't miss.

The Devil May Cry reboot has featured some… interesting decisions and inspirations, such as the Saw movies.
Turns out that there's a familiar face behind that masked torturer we've seen.
OK, so Vergil isn't really a good guy here so much as a "morally ambiguous guy who at least seems like he wants to help".
Nonetheless it's still a switch from his previous persona in the games. Fans will remember that he was the primary bad guy in the third entry of the series: He preferred swords, he enjoyed being a demon, and was generally the total opposite of Dante in just about every way possible.
Here he seems to be a bit more morally ambiguous than his previous evil self. And he looks like less of a historical tour guide, which is also good. The trailer implies that he teams up with his twin brother to kick some butt and save the damsel, although whether that's story or two-player mode is up in the air.
We'll find out just where Vergil's allegiances lie January 15th.

It's amazing to know that 13.5 million people lived in New York in 1940. It was the country's biggest state at that time and the census pages are chock full of fascinating folks. Ancestry.com has now just launched the 1940 U.S. Federal Census Index for the Empire State, which now joins the District of Columbia, Maine and Nevada.
Some immediately recognizable folks are listed below and there are many more including your own family members who may still be among the living if they lived in New York in, Washington DC, Maine or Nevada in 1940:
"New York
Katherine Hepburn "The Great Kate" was in New York acting in the stage version of The Philadelphia Story, which had closed its year-long run at the Shubert Theater just a few days before the census was taken. She wouldn't be in New York for long though, as she needed to be back in Hollywood where the movie version of The Philadelphia Story began filming in July of that year.
John D. Rockefeller Jr. The philanthropist and iconic businessman had driven "The Last Rivet" in the final original building in Rockefeller Center the previous year and was basking in the success of his now-thriving "city within a city."
Billie [Elnora] Holiday Born Eleanora Harris, Billie lists her occupation as a singer in a night club, and is living with her mother, Sadie, and friend and fellow musician, Irene Wilson.
Al Jolson Scroll down the page to find David Selznick, producer of the 1940 Academy Award winning movie, Gone with the Wind. Both are guests at the Sherry Netherland Hotel.
Bert Lahr Probably enjoying some of the fruits of his recent success as "the Cowardly Lion" in The Wizard of Oz, actor Bert Lahr was enumerated staying the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
Cole Porter At home in his apartment at the Waldorf Astoria, Cole Porter's lists his last residence as Paris, France. Following a fall from a horse that broke both of his legs in 1937, he was suffering from chronic pain that would plague him for the rest of his life, but he continued to work, writing several songs for the 1940 film Broadway Melody of 1940, including I've Got My Eyes on You and Begin the Beguine.
Washington DC
J. Edgar Hoover Living alone at 413 Seward Square in Washington, D.C., Hoover, the FBI director, had been leading the bureau (formerly the Bureau of Investigation) since he was appointed director in 1924 by Calvin Coolidge, and he would continue in that role until his death in 1972.
Marvin Gaye The census taker arrived at the Gay family residence on Marvin's first birthday April 2, where Marvin was enumerated along with his father Marvin Sr., who was a preacher, his mom, Alberta, and one brother and one sister.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt FDR and Eleanor are in the White House, just where you'd expect them."

Thanks for this update, Sandy. I checked out the Gartz census when 1940 first came out, but I'm going to try to find more info. Your site is filled with such a myriad of info for genealogists. Something for everyone. Thanks for dropping by Family Archaeologist again!
Ms. Gartz is correct this is a very informational site. And, you're not just throwing up their for volume. Thanks for the information about the 1940 census. I'll start looking again.

"We are so happy with how well our flagship title, The Banner Saga, has been received by the gaming community and feel very honored to be recognized as the Most Promising Start-Up at the Gamesindustry.biz Innovation Awards", said Alex Thomas from Stoic.

For those that don't know what the The Banner Saga is all about, check out its official description below along with our full review above.

For individuals or groups that seek to embark on a new journey, Kultura Kamp is the pioneer travel and tour service that delivers an immersive experience. Grounded in the values of kapatiran and cultural relativism, the company allows participants to learn and foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the different Filipino indigenous cultures.
Kultura Kamp puts together the value of kapatiran with avenues for learning that educates the participants and, at the same time, empowers indigenous people through their role of educators of their culture.
To empower Filipino indigenous people to embrace, celebrate and preserve their culture and identity by providing an avenue for urban dwellers to experience, understand and appreciate their culture and way of life.
Our mission is threefold, summed up by our tagline: Embark. Embrace. Empower.
EMBARK. Our camps are about immersing oneself in the lives and culture of the indigenous groups of the Philippines. It is about experiencing their culture and way of life with your own five senses.
EMBRACE. Through having a glimpse of who they are and having all these observations to ponder on, we hope to foster among our participants a sense of kinship with our indigenous brothers and sisters that allows one to understand, accept, and develop deep respect for their culture and way of life. We call this, the value of Kapatiran.
EMPOWER. In the end, through our short camps, we hope to empower our indigenous people to embrace their own identity as they become teachers of their own culture. We hope to empower our participants to have a more open disposition allowing them to be able to understand and respect those who have a different way of life from their own. And all this, is ultimately, geared towards our fight against cultural discrimination.
For those ready for a simple adventure, the Manabayukan area is located by a riverside, a walk away through a scenic flatland route, with the mountains in view. Campers can easily appreciate the natural beauty of this location, not to mention the opportunity to swim in the river. Relax as you lie on the riverbed and the current hits you, washing coolly over your back! At the bonfire at night, campers can share stories and dance with the people of Manabayukan, who are a resourceful and cheerful folk.
For the adventurer looking for a different kind of camping experience can leap right into the warm and welcoming environment of Manabayukan!
Day 1:
Day 2:
Set in higher lands, the Sitio Alunan can be reached with via a 4×4 ride up a breezy track, surrounded by the mountains. Campers will be rewarded with a great, scenic view of the surrounding landscapes, where verdant hills roll every which way, and the beautiful mountains rise against the sky. The campers in Sitio Alunan will be shown the ways of the tribal community living there, and maybe even learn how to properly start a fire with only the wood lying about, and using it to cook their own brand of suman. By the light of the fire at night, share stories and riddles with the people, who are very fond of brainteasers and puzzles. The stars come out at night in Alunan, numerous and much brighter than they ever might in the city.
This is for those who are itching to push themselves to greater heights – literally!
Day 1:
Day 2:
Before I begin, I just want to make one thing clear: This is not about extravagant life changing travels, wild exciting adventures or once in a lifetime experiences. Instead, this is about the small things things, such as activities that seem too common or potentially even mundane, that I have witnessed or been a part of…Continue Reading →
1. What's the process of going on a trip?
Book by clicking "Book Now" on the sidebar! A confirmation e-mail will be sent to you and all pertinent information and documents will be there. Payment should be made no later than 5 days after receiving the confirmation e-mail. Please prepare to submit the waiver form, contract, medical certificate and deposit slip during your orientation.
2. Am I required to attend the orientation?
YES. You will be briefed of what exactly will happen in the trip, as well as the things to bring, things to do and things to avoid. This is essential because we are going do not want to disrupt the day to day traditions and way of living of the Aeta communities that we are visiting. Also, the orientation is best place to raise your questions and concerns.
3. What if I can't make it to the said orientation date?
Please let us know as soon as possible so we can make the necessary arrangements for a make up orientation.
4. Do the trips require intense hiking?
For Manabayukan, no. For Alunan, yes. The hike up to the tribe is quite challenging because it is mostly uphill. You must also be prepared to walk for quite a while, because their farm grounds are far from where the town proper is. It's pretty exciting!
5. What are the essential things that I need to bring?
Extra clothes and slippers/sandals; bug spray and sanitary spray. Jackets, blankets (it gets really cold after dark!) and flashlights (no electricity) for the night.
6. Where will we be sleeping?
All participants will be assigned to a foster home for the duration of the trip. Think of it as a home away from home!
7. Why do I need to live in a foster home? Why don't we just camp out using tents?
Both Aeta communities expressed that want to host participants in their homes. As respect to their wishes and culture, participants will be staying in their homes during the duration of the camps.
8. How does TriboCo. Kultura Kamp help these Aeta communities?
For every participant of the camp, a part of their fee goes to the sustainability fund of the community visited. The sustainability fund is used for the sustainability plan customized to fit the nature of each community. These plans are made through continuous consultation and dialogue with the partnering communities thus it remains flexible and non-imposing to ensure the protection of the communities. The plans are expected to grow and become more complicated as it is to progress from, for example, funding the farming seeds and tools needed by the community to hopefully, funding the transportation of the produce that the community harvests to selling points. This is because, the end goal is to make each community sustainable; to enable each community to stand on its own feet. The end goal is for each community to reach the point when they do not need TriboCo. Kultura Kamp, or the help of any NGO in order to survive and thrive anymore.

WILLIAM A. TIFT, a retired farmer, still making his home on his farm, was born in Oneida County, March 11, 1833, and is a son of Amazia and Martha (Pierce) Tift, the former of whom resided in Oneida
County until 1837, when he removed to Madison County, and bought the farm upon which the subject of this sketch now resides, it containing sixty acres of land. Amazia Tift was a general farmer, and lived on his farm until his death, at the age of sixty-three years, his wife having died at the age of thirty-four. Both were born in 1810. He was a successful man, and was highly esteemed by all for the general worth of his character and for his ability. In politics he sustained the principles of the Republican party after its organization in 1853. He and his wife reared two sons, William A. and James Alfred, the latter of whom enlisted to fight for the flag of his country in the Tenth New York Cavalry, and was killed when he was about twenty-five years of age.

If you're a girl, that is.
Like the post-it says, don't buy these shirts. Smart girls are cool.
P.S. I know this is old news for those of you that follow the feminist blogosphere. Due to the uproar, JC Penney has pulled the shirt and apologized. I think Forever 21 has done something similar. Which just goes to show - if you don't like something, say something.

It's a good time to take a look at who you have been working with and ask yourself if this is the Client you want to be working with?
So much of our business grows through referrals. Do you want a Client database filled with Clients you don't necessarily want to work with and their friends, relatives and colleagues? Not working with your Ideal Client will bring more of the same…the wrong Client.
The Consequences of Ignoring Your Ideal Client Profile
Most of the problems you experience EVERY DAY are a direct result of NOT formulating an Ideal Client Profile. It's a domino effect. Can you relate to the following?
- You're constantly looking for new Clients
- You have less time for Clients you enjoy spending time with including high-end Clients
- You aren't getting enough quality referrals
- You're distracted by high-maintenance, low-return Clients
- Business is tough, a chore, and you're not reaching that number in your head
- Your marketing and networking efforts bring in a low ROI (Plus, you hate doing it, and who has time to follow-up the right way?)
Bottom line: You spend too much time trying to find new Clients and not enough time providing top-notch, personal service that shows off your expertise.
Ask yourself who are your trying to reach?
- Have you figured out exactly what your Ideal Client wants and needs?
- Why would your Ideal Client choose to work with you and not the next guy?
- Do you understand how you Ideal Client thinks?
Invest your time and effort to figure this out and you have completed the first strategic step in working with your Ideal Client.
You want to ATTRACT Ideal Clients, not Customers
Attracting Ideal Clients starts with Listening. Listen to understand, truly understand.
You see, when you listen, dig deep, you uncover and begin to understand the problems that your Ideal Clients are tossing and turning over in their heads…and you can figure out how to get them what they want.
Your Ideal Client is looking to you to help get their problems solved. If you want to be successful attracting more Ideal Clients in your Target market, make sure you are solving big problems for them.
- What problems are keeping your Target market, your future Ideal Clients, awake at night?
- What are their typical problems?
- What are they stressing out over?
Ways to Discover the Problems of Your Ideal Clients
Brainstorm all the problems you think your Ideal Client has and make a list and keep adding to it as ideas come to you.
- Ask your current and past Ideal Clients. Call 'em, email 'em, or take 'em to lunch and pick their brains. People love to talk about their problems. You'll be surprised at the response.
- Ask your eMail and Newsletter readers. Do a survey. There are free resources for this, such as surveymonkey.com. (You do have a newsletter, don't you?)
- Look at your successful competitors'websites. Read their web copy. Read their sales letters. Subscribe to their newsletters. What problems are they highlighting?
Listen and notice the wording used to describe the problems of your Target market. To connect with and Attract Your Ideal Clients, you'll need to use their language, not yours.
By doing this research, you will not only find out what problems your Target market is having but you will start to think like your Target market. You will start to understand them. People want to work with someone who understands their needs.
Is Your Marketing Attracting Your Ideal Client?
- Will the copy on your website attract your Ideal Client?
- Do you have strong Call to Actions?
- Do you have an Email Campaign directed at your Target Audience?
- Are you creating Free Give-Aways that will get you noticed by your Target Audience?
- Are you keeping in touch with Past Ideal Clients to elicit referral business?
- Are you making the time for all of the above?
If not, you will continue to work with the Wrong Client!

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
Along with drowsy and impaired driving, the national zero fatalities program has outlined several other conditions that can seriously affect an individual's ability to drive safely.
With the busy Memorial Day weekend around the corner, state and local officials remind Carbon County motorists to obey all traffic laws and take extra precaution.
According to zerofatalities.com, the best way to survive a crash is to prevent the traffic accident from happening in the first place.
"Before you get behind the wheel, ask yourself a few questions," advises the website.
The site points out that local drivers should evaluate several factors.
The factors include "how tired you are, how distracted certain electronic devices could make you, has a situation made you too angry or upset, have you taken any substances that may impair your driving and do you plan to buckle up and make sure all passengers buckle up as well?" states the website.
During the past five years, there has been a steady decline of traffic fatalities on Utah's roads.
The declining trend can be attributed to four different areas, according to the zero fatalities program.
The factors include:
Planning efforts by a coordinated group of state agencies.
Continual efforts in engineering improvements in roads and vehicles.
Educational programs for new and existing drivers.
Enforcement initiatives to help ensure proper driving behavior.
"However, these combined efforts will only get us so far in saving lives," indicates the website. "Every person behind the wheel has a responsibility to themselves and to other motorists to drive safely."
Safety belts are approximately 50 percent effective in preventing fatalities in crashes in which motorists would otherwise die. Therefore, according to the site, raising safety belt usage saves lives.
In 2005, 282 motor vehicle occupants died on Utah roadways. Of the fatalities, 208 of the victims were unrestrained or improperly restrained.
Based on historical national studies, traffic safety officials estimate that 50 percent or 104 of the victims would have survived if they had buckled up.
Utah's 2005 safety belt observational survey shows that 86.9 percent of motorists buckled up.
The number may seem acceptable to many people, according to the zero fatalities website, but 13.1 percent of Utah's population or about 313,000 people still don't buckle up.
Carbon County motorists are cautioned to remember that law enforcement officers will issue citations to unbuckled drivers and passengers.
Utah law states that drivers and passengers must wear a properly adjusted and fastened safety restraint.
The law provides for primary enforcement for individuals up to 19 years of age.
In addition children four years and under must ride in an approved child safety seat.
For a person 19 or older, enforcement by an officer can be only as a secondary action when the person has been detained for another offense.
The offenses could be speeding, aggressive driving, transporting an unrestrained passenger who is younger than 19, among other traffic violations.
A secondary law does not mean that drivers and passengers can legally ride unbuckled.
Tips for properly and regularly wearing a seat belt include:
Always fastening lap and shoulder belts. Shoulder belts should fit across the collar bone and the lap belt should fit low over the hips.
Never place the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
The safest place for any child ages 12 and younger is the back seat.
Infants should ride rear-facing as long as possible and at least until they are 20 pounds and one year of age.
Children should be securely fastened in a forward-facing child safety seat once they have outgrown their rear-facing seat and until they are about 40 pounds.
Use belt-positioning booster seats to help position adult-size seatbelts for children who have outgrown their toddler safety seat.
More than 80 percent of child safety seats are used incorrectly. Be sure to read the car seat and vehicle owner's manual and follow all instructions to be sure your child passengers are safe.
Along with not wearing a seatbelt, aggressive drivers can also be a danger to Utah motorists. According to zero fatalities, aggressive driving means operating a vehicle in a way that endangers or is likely to endanger people or property. Most behaviors associated with aggressive driving are illegal.
Running red lights.
Failure to yield.
To respond to an aggressive driver the site recommends wearing a seatbelt and not playing their game.
"Back off and let them go on their way," states the site. "Remember, it's not a competition and it's not your job to teach them a lesson."

Andersen faces tough situation; Gets a win
[dropcap]G[/dropcap]ary Andersen is yet to coach his first practice at Wisconsin but he already has a victory of sorts.
It won't show up in the record books or the media guide, but Andersen faced an incredibly tough situation this week – one that that will significantly impact efforts to put his stamp on the program – and from top to bottom, his handling of it appears to be a masterstroke.
Last Friday, Andersen found out that his tight ends and special teams coach Jay Boulware, a coach he'd hired two months earlier, was leaving for Oklahoma.
With the start of spring practice a week away, the staff was in full planning mode. Andersen had no advance notice of the departure.
"I found out about four hours before you guys," he told reporters on Monday.
Planning mode to panic mode?
With nine full-time assistants, each individual is critical, but equally important – perhaps more so – is how well they operate as a unit. Coaching roles and responsibilities, recruiting territories and connections – everything must work in sync.
That's all the more important to Andersen, an outsider to the Wisconsin program, which, for the first time in more than 22 years, will be led by someone from outside the Barry Alvarez coaching tree.
Andersen didn't just need to hire a tight ends and special teams coach. He needed to find the right tight ends and special teams coach to fit with the rest of his staff, and he had to find him quickly.
That's no small task anytime, and in the first week of March – when the majority of major college staffs are set for the upcoming season – it's gargantuan.
On Monday, Andersen met with the media for the first time after Boulware's departure. He was candid and honest, expressing his frustration and accepting full responsibility.
He stopped short of taking shots at Boulware and didn't say anything unprofessional, but made it clear he wasn't happy.
"I told the kids this this morning, 'Ultimately I hired him and it's my fault,'" he said.
"…It is my responsibility to get the coaches in here. I don't like the timing of it. I don't like the situation that we're in at all.
"But we'll get a coach in here that is excited about Wisconsin football and wants to be here in the worst way and he'll do a tremendous job. We'll rebound very quickly."
Boulware was born in Oklahoma City. His mother and family still live in the area. He's played and coached in the Big 12.
As bad as the timing was for Wisconsin, coaching is a business and he has to look out for his family and his own career first. Andersen understands that. Based on his strong reaction, you have to wonder if something else happened behind the scenes to heighten his frustration.
Regardless, Andersen said he didn't beg him to stay.
"I'm here for the University of Wisconsin," he said. "I'm here to make everybody proud of the football program on and off the field. If I've got a coach or a player that doesn't want to buy into that, so be it and move along. Because there's a lot of people that want to be a part of it."
That kind of passion and ownership is refreshing, and it's endearing to fans and to the media.
A day later, he delivered on that promise.
Enter Jeff Genyk
Genyk grew up in Milan, Mich. the son of a Wolverine football captain and longtime coach. He played quarterback and punter at Bowling Green.
On paper, its a pedigree tailor made for a college coach, but it didn't start out that way.
Genyk has an MBA and spent his first 10 years after college in business. He worked in materials management and international purchasing in the automotive and oil industries before the call of coaching was too strong to ignore.
His only opportunity was as quarterbacks and tight ends coach at Grand Rapids (Mich.) Community College. It was a long way from the big time, but with an infectious energy and strong drive, he wouldn't be there long.
Two years later, Genyk got an opportunity at the Division I level as a defensive graduate assistant for Northwestern. He arrived in 1992 – the same time as head coach Gary Barnett – and began his move up the coaching ladder just as the Wildcats' began their ascension from the depths of college football's cellar.
By 1994, Genyk was director of football operations. Three years after that he moved to an on-the-field position as outside linebackers coach.
Genyk spent the next seven years under Barnett and Randy Walker, coaching special teams, linebackers, running backs and safeties at various times. He was recruiting coordinator for five seasons.
During his 12 years there, the Wildcats won three Big Ten championships and went to four bowl games.
Genyk was ready to ascend another rung on the ladder, and in 2003, he was named head coach at Eastern Michigan.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and he was never able to rekindle that same magic at EMU that he was part of during Northwestern's revival.
In five years, the Eagles never won more than four games in a season. He was let go at the end of 2008 with a 16-42 record as a head coach.
Genyk spent the 2009 out of coaching, recharging his batteries while working for ESPN as a color analyst on ACC games and coaching his son's flag football and soccer teams.
In 2010, he was back, joining Jeff Tedford's staff at Cal in the same roles he will fill at Wisconsin, special teams and tight ends coach.
Cal players, especially those on special teams, took notice.
Genyk's organization was impressive. He handed out articles such as a Sports Illustrated piece on the increase in big plays on special teams in the NFL. During spring meetings, players watched video of bowl games that that were impacted by special teams plays.
His teaching methods were different, too. Placekickers practiced kickoffs by trying to kick the ball into cones arranged in a small square along the back of the end zone. Kicks that landed inside the cones meant fewer sprints. The same went for field goals, where the focus was on creating pressure situations to increase mental toughness.
"The whole team was watching, the coaches would bang on your helmet as you're taking your steps, poking at you, yelling at you," former Cal kicker Giorgio Tavecchio said in a 2010 interview with the Daily Californian. "You just got to execute your fundamentals, do what you've done thousands of times."
Genyk's methods worked, and Cal's special teams improved across the board.
From 2009 to 2010, Tavecchio increased his average kickoff nearly seven yards per kick and doubled his number of touchbacks. Punter Bryan Anger improved his average from 41.5 yards per punt to 45.6.
"He's very energetic," Anger said. "There's not many teams in NCAA football that have a special teams coach who knows what he's talking about. Some people will tell you that you need to be mentally strong, but they don't give you the tools to do it."
Tavecchio earned All-Pac-12 honors in 2011. His successor, Vincenzo D'Amato, did the same thing in 2012. Punt returner Keenan Allen led the conference and was fifth nationally, averaging 14.1 yards per return.
"You have to develop an environment where special teams is a want-to and not a have-to," Genyk said. "That happens by understanding the important aspect of those plays."
Road to Madison
Genyk was let go along with the rest of Tedford's staff at the end of the 2012 season. He was hired as tight ends and special teams coach on Brian Polian's Nevada staff in January, but like Boulware's stay in Madison, the stint would be short lived.
Andersen targeted Genyk as soon as the position came open, and with his family ties to the Midwest and Big Ten experience, Genyk jumped at the opportunity.
Could this be a case of sticky situation where everybody wins in the end?
Boulware returns to his home state and a conference he's played and coached in.
Genyk moves closer to his family roots and back to the conference where his career took off.
And, perhaps Andersen most of all. He winds up with an outstanding coach, and earns some goodwill from fans for his strong stance and performance under pressure.
Time will tell, but it looks good right now.

July 16, 2009
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.7 percent in June after rising 0.1 percent in May. The acceleration was largely caused by the gasoline index, which rose 17.3 percent in June and accounted for over 80 percent of the increase in the all items index.
The index for energy rose 7.4 percent in June, with a decline in the electricity index partly offsetting the sharp increase in gasoline.
The food index, which had fallen each of the last four months, was unchanged in June.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in June following a 0.1-percent increase in May. Most components of all items less food and energy posted increases; an exception was the index for airline fares, which fell 0.6 percent in June.
Over the last 12 months the CPI-U has fallen 1.4 percent (as shown in the chart), as a 25.5-percent decline in the energy index has more than offset increases of 2.1 percent in the food index and 1.7 percent in the index for all items less food and energy.
These data are from the BLS Consumer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Consumer Price Index: June 2009" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL 09-0812.

Since 12 is near it's end of life, and because running it as a VM isn't as efficient as I originally thought, the plan is to ditch it completely, then dual boot with Mint 14. With that in mind, is there a way for me to transfer my settings from 12 to 14?

I agree that if money is not an option, you want to be in a cultural metropolis, and want to practice corporate law in S. Florida then Miami is the way to go. However, if you look at the ABA data regarding bar passage, employment, among other variables FSU is a better law school. FSU definitely offers better employment prospects across the state of FL as a whole, while Miami does better in S. Florida. FSU places better for corporate positions in ATL, Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa but a significant number of grads work in the public sector. Also, the alumni contacts are very strong at FSU; I am not sure what the earlier post was basing that statement on. Finally, I agree that Miami's name generally will be viewed more highly in distant markets (e.g. NYC), but in reality neither school places well there. I'd make sure to visit both and see where you're most comfortable and what you are willing to pay (cost of living is drastically different not to mention tuition if one is able to transfer residency which is in limbo).
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Psychological preparation for 1L« on: April 20, 2006, 08:04:08 PM »
SSRI is an antidepressant/anxiety med. a lot of people who enter strenuous academic environments end up needing them and the crap side effects when you start taking them are better dealt with before school starts. i wouldnt pop ritalin--doesnt work for most people.
Actually Ritalin is a psychostimulant (methylphenidate) referred to here in table of pharmacologic treatments for adhd (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/437026_5). It most certainly is not an SSRI although both SSRIs and psychostimulants are sometimes used in combination (or separately) to treat depression and adhd. I would opt for experimenting with the SSRIs personally because ritalin is a controlled substance and very addictive (in a lot of ways it's like legalized coke). Of course with SSRIs you always face the sexual side effects...
Acceptances / Re: widener, really?« on: April 19, 2006, 11:34:30 AM »
I would not attend Widener at that price unless you absolutely want to be in this area and can save $$ by living at home (even then, I would go with Drexel if they gave you $$). I live with a current 2L and feel confident saying that Widener is definitely a T4 school with a chip on its shoulder. No doubt, some good attorneys come out of Widener and do well but if you have other options, I would exercise them.

Where should I go next fall? / Re: Runner - what is the role in a firm?« on: April 14, 2006, 12:04:40 PM »
Thanks guys.
I very much understand that it will mostly involve grunt work and that I will be the lowest on the totem pole. But here are my thoughts:
1) I don't have any legal experience whatsoever and this job will expose me to the day-to-day procedures of litigation/filing court docs/etc.
2) I will allow me to make some contacts in the Tallahassee legal community at a top firm.
3) It will allow me to move to a completely new area ahead of time (might be able to buy a condo/home), which bodes well for my case for residency.
I think it wouldn't hurt for a couple of months considering these circumstances. I am not making a lateral career move here. Any thoughts?
Where should I go next fall? / Runner - what is the role in a firm?« on: April 14, 2006, 11:41:57 AM »
Can anyone offer a typical job description and/or comments on the position. Would it be worth doing over the summer? I am sure it won't pay much more than McDonald's, but I am willing to leave my salary position early because I have never worked in a legal environment and want to move to Tallahassee early (buying a place); it seems like these are the only positions I will be able to get considering I'm pre-law, have no legal experience, and will only be working a few months.
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Strict Grading Curves - A Major Cause for Concern?« on: April 12, 2006, 12:06:47 PM »
Trogdor, right on. If only the world were wholly rational. You're right, we really shouldn't focus on this and we've let our inexperience and naivete overemphasize it.

constant flow of clear water
endless flow of water
water flowing

Ready to Roll on Mars
Published: January 6, 2004
Hats off to NASA for breaking the jinx that has doomed so many space missions to Mars. One can only marvel at the fantastic precision of the computerized technologies that allowed the robotic Spirit rover to land near the center of its target area in a vast crater the size of Connecticut. Space is a very demanding environment where, even if thousands of things go right, a single mishap can doom the whole mission. Scientists were holding their collective breath late Saturday when the Spirit turned its heat shield downward, deployed its parachute, jettisoned the shield, fired its retrorockets, inflated its air bags, bounced high off the surface and rolled to a stop, upright and in a seemingly perfect position to study what is described as a ''scientific sweet spot.'' Yesterday scientists said they were thrilled at how well the instruments were checking out after all that shaking. They proudly displayed the first three-dimensional photographs from the surface.
What a welcome change after a number of discouraging failures over the past several decades! All told, more than half of all Mars probes launched by Earth's spacefaring nations have ended in disaster, either blowing up in Earth orbit, losing their way in space or crashing or conking out on the Martian surface. The Russians have had the most misfires, but even the United States lost two orbiters and a lander because of malfunctions and human error. In the latest forays, a Japanese spacecraft failed to reach Mars orbit, while a British landing craft appears to have been lost on the surface. It is no wonder that Mars has been dubbed the dark planet for space vehicles.
Soon, if all goes well, the Spirit and a twin craft, scheduled to land on the far side of Mars on Jan. 24, will begin three months of exploration, traveling across the surface at the plodding speed of giant tortoises. Their goal is to determine whether water, indispensable to sustaining life as we know it, has been present on Mars in the past. The rovers will not be looking for direct evidence of life -- the stationary British craft had intended to do that -- but they could help resolve a lively debate over the role of water in Martian geology.
