"For as long as I have been here, the weight room has never had upgrades." said Health and Wellness Senior Zaneta White-Haliburton. "Seeing new equipment and an actual promise of a makeover now is very exciting."
General Manager of WGTS, John Konrad, began the transformation when he donated an elliptical and a treadmill, which the gym was in need of due to wear and tear of the previous equipment. The radio station made further donations of money and equipment to make for a more usable space. More equipment will be purchased over the next few months.
"The weight room is used by all students throughout campus for both classes and personal fitness," Benjamin Johnson, head of athletic training and Acro Airs and women's volleyball head coach said. "It's great to see an institution like WGTS, believe in and help out a good cause like the University's weight room."
WGTS 91.9 is owned by Washington Adventist University and holds high the value of the institution. The station has operated from the campus of WAU since the 1950's, and has been a strong source of support for WAU students.

The Creative Cooking Crew's challenge for May — what are you bringing to the BBQ? -- was announced about the same time my nephew and his wife said they would be hosting a Mother's Day barbecue. They'd do the meats and everyone else could bring accompaniments. Perfect timing.
When you're a cook, it doesn't matter if it's Mother's Day — you still cook. And, because I enjoy cooking, the challenge and, definitely, eating, I couldn't bring just one thing.
You know you're Italian if you grew up eating broccoli rabe and beans. We ate it as a soupy dish and dunked bread in the bowl. Any liquid that was left, we slurped. Oh, yes we did. We also ate it as a side dish (usually with sausage) and, of course, we ate it with pasta!
Broccoli rabe and beans (cannellini or garbanzo a/k/a chick peas, ceci beans) are a perfect marriage. But, like any wedding party, they need some loving attendants to walk them up the aisle: garlic, chicken broth, olive oil, onion or leeks, carrot, tomato. Continue Reading

Corner stores and local restaurants post "We Are Hiring" signs in their windows, and job seekers trudge down streets and through malls dropping off resumes. A startup called Workpop says that time-honored way of hiring hourly-wage workers is antiquated and ineffective.
The Los Angeles startup closed on a $7 million Series A round led by Trinity Ventures, it told VentureWire, and it is launching its online job board and services for the Los Angeles area today. Read More »

In its first meeting since regaining some authority, the Detroit Board of Education voted Thursday evening to sue the state, shake up the districts organizational chart and ensure that teachers get school assignments soon.
The suit seeks to replace more than $200 million in deficits that accrued during the first five years of state takeover of the school district, from 1999 to 2005. The district took out a loan in 2005 to cover the deficit. Voters approved a ballot measure in 2007 to pursue legal action, but the board never pursued it.
The board also voted to terminate a contract with Steve Wasko, the districts spokesman, as well as a public relations contract with the Detroit Parent Network, saying each has promoted the state reform district that competes with DPS for students.
And the board voted to reassert its authority over the nine schools that are supposed to become self-governed by individual appointed school boards.
We have academic control, said board President LaMar Lemmons. Well ask the superintendent to develop an organizational chart reflective of the judges decision.
The meeting was the first time the board met since a judge ruled Tuesday that the board will exercise authority over academic issues while Roy Roberts, the state-appointed emergency financial manager, will control the budget. The school board has had not official powers in DPS since 2009, when a state appointee took over.
The split powers will continue until Nov. 6, when state voters will decide whether to keep or to void the controversial Public Act 4 which gave emergency managers sweeping powers including the ability to void labor contracts.
Marie Thornton, a former school board member, warned the board members to make sure to not overstep their authority and to notify the court of their decisions. You need a paper trail, she said.
In an effort to ensure that school starts smoothly this year, the board voted to seek a waiver from the state law to allows the district to use seniority as a factor to recall teachers, because the districts teachers have not been assigned to schools.
School is scheduled to begin Sept. 4, and teachers are scheduled to report to school Aug. 27.
The emergency financial manager is not ready, Lemmons said.
Keith Johnson, president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers, said the district will not have a smooth opening Sept. 4 and the union intends to sue over the recall process.
In the spring, all DPS employees were laid off. All 4,000 teachers were required to interview for the estimated 3,100 teaching positions that will be filled.
None of our teachers as of today has received a letter notifying them their layoff notice has been rescinded or notifying them of a definitive work location to which they are to report, Johnson said.
Teachers like to get their rooms in order to prepare
and to acclimate themselves, Johnson said. Quite frankly, were going to sue the hell out of them.
In other actions, the board voted to change the status of the newly constructed East English Village high school, making it a comprehensive school for 2012-13. The school was scheduled to accept students from Finney and Crockett high schools, and to require ninth graders to apply and meet academic standards en route to becoming an application-only school.
Lemmons said the change was needed to give neighborhood students an alternative to going to an EAA high school this year.
Although the school board won some authority in court this week, it still faces legal issues.
Wayne County Circuit Judge John Murphy ruled that the school board and Roberts must agree on which decisions are financial and which are academic. If they cannot, the judge said he will decide on a case-by-case basis.
Also, state Attorney General Bill Schuette last week filed suit seeking to remove the school board. Schuette maintained that Detroits school board election of 2011 was invalid because the school districts enrollment fell below 100,000 students in 2008.
George Washington, the boards attorney, said he felt encouraged because no hearing had been set yet in the states case.
About 60 people attended the meeting. Neither Roberts nor Karen Ridgeway, the former superintendent of academics, was present.
John Telford, who the board selected as interim superintendent, said he intends to keep Ridgeway on staff as his deputy.
Wasko said in a statement after the meeting: Our families deserve and Judge Murphy was clear that there must be a smooth start to this school year, free of chaos. Mr. Roberts is as committed to that as ever. Parents can and should expect the highest qualified teacher in front of every child in every classroom, and Roy Roberts and his team are 1000% focused on ensuring that happens for every student.
Carol Summers, who has two grandchildren in DPS, said Detroiters do not want more political fights.
Children first. Deal with the egos second, she said. I need school to start on time because Ive been preparing for it.

Carry Speed Rapid Camera Strap with Tripod Mount
January 8, 2011
I've got a few extra cameras lacking some straps right now like the Sony A55 and GH2. Looks like some fancy new camera straps are out and i'm waiting to get my hands on it. This new line of camera straps are being marketed as 'Carry Speed'. Doesn't really show it in the pictures, but I believe this camera strap also comes with a small zippered pocket over the shoulder to hold extra accessories like media cards, and maybe small batteries. The quick release adapter for the strap swivels the camera to keep it from tangling, and the base plate can remain on the camera with support for a tripod mount. Looks like a solid build with dirt cheap 'Buy it Now' prices compared to relevant straps. What's even more kick a$$? If you've got the patience, they've got a few on auction starting at 1 penny + Free Shipping. Can be found online via the link:

Been reading your blog a long time and first time post!
Anyway, its funny i see this because i was looking for a new strap these past couple days. I came across this one on ebay also but ended up going w/ the q-strap (http://shop.ebay.com/hi-pc/m.html?_nkw=rapid+camera+strap&_sacat=0&_odkw=&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3911.c0.m270.l1313).
They look similar to me, just different names so i went w/ the cheaper route.
January 8th, 2011 at 10:26 am
Looks like the same as Q-Strap you mentioned in August. I have Q-Strap and it's superb accessory; holds 2.2kg package well.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:47 pm
I bought this one, it's a V2 I've just bought version 2.0 for $19.95 including shipping to Israel.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320630137076#ht_4092wt_1141 shipping from China was swift and no duty to pay
I should say that I find it hard to tighten up my Manfrotto plate sufficiently against the speed plate, the weight of my lens makes the plate shift. But, hey it is cheap n cheesy!

My camera is always eitherbon my shoulder mount or on my tripod…what is a camera strap good for in regards to video???
January 8th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
Off topic but while browsing via my ipad I came across this cool 48 led ring light by manfrotto and could not wait to link you to it.
Yeah, 48 LEDs might not be much but could work great for close ups in music videos especially with sun glasses on… Plus helps not to have to cary a huge ring light, would work great on a glide cam I think.
Seems manfrotto has jumped into the led DSLR lighting business too…
January 10th, 2011 at 8:59 am
I bought 1 from Apexcam too, same like Julianne. i waited quite long, maybe because peak season. Just arrived today.
Thanks to you Emm for sharing about the quickstrap.

Just got my Qstrap today. Its a v2 for $13 shipped…not bad.
January 19th, 2011 at 10:07 am
Question: I bought one of these for $9.50
Am I getting just the mount or the mount & strap?
Seller didn't respond back yet.
January 19th, 2011 at 10:50 am
Looks like I just got the mount.
Dammit, I was tricked by the funny talking guy with the Jimmy Neutron hair: http://goo.gl/e8cAF

I Stink!
by Kate McMullan
, Jim McMullan
Search Amazon for other books by or about Kate McMullan.
When I received this book, it quickly became a favorite of Matthew's. He has wanted me to read it over and over again. Maybe it's the type that changes with the emotions and job of the garbage truck who "narrates" this book.
This garbage truck revels in the fact he stinks-because he does a job that is necessary even as its messy. The text highlights the sounds the truck makes and mimics the gruffness one might find from such a vehicle. And this truck works at night while little ones sleep! (Well, in the case of this book, anyway. I've seen many cities have daytime garbage pickup, but I guess it would ruin the tone of this book.)
The book doesn't state an age range, but Matthew is four and enjoys it. It would also be a good book for beginning readers.

The Power List: The 25 Most Influential People in Boston Philanthropy
They came. They gave. They conquered.
Nonprofits and the philanthropists behind them do an enormous amount of important work in Boston. They feed the hungry, educate children, take care of the sick, and sponsor a thriving arts and culture community. But at the upper echelons of the city, philanthropy is about something else, too. It's about writing $10 million checks, leading $1 billion capital campaigns, getting your name stamped on college buildings, and fighting for coveted seats on prestigious boards. In other words, it's about power—the money, influence, and ideas that make things happen. And no one in town has more of it than the leaders listed here, the 25 most powerful people in Boston philanthropy.
* Memberships listed are an edited—not all-inclusive—inventory, and denote a role on an institution's board of directors, trustees, officers, or other advisory council. Membership information was collected from individuals and Guidestar.
Amos & Barbara Hostetter
Board Memberships: Barr Foundation, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, WGBH, Museum of Fine Arts, Amherst College, North Bennet Street School, Belmont Hill School
Recent Activity: Pledged $50 million to local climate-change prevention efforts in 2010
There are foundations based in Boston, and then there's the Barr Foundation. The Barr is the biggest source of nonprofit funding in the region: In 2011, for example, the organization donated $54 million to 360 nonprofits, including $3 million to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum—part of Barbara Hostetter's ongoing support of the museum (she played a key role in the capital campaign for the new Renzo Piano wing). And in 2010, the couple pledged $50 million to fighting climate change. With assets of more than $1.1 billion, the Barr seems poised to continue to give generously. Beyond merely writing checks, though, the Hostetters are influencing future generations of philanthropists with the Barr Fellowship program, which provides training and a three-month sabbatical for rising stars in the world of charity—including leaders such as John Barros, number 13 on our list.
Jack Connors
All-Purpose Power Broker
Board Memberships: Connors Family Foundation, Boston College, Camp Harbor View, Harvard School of Public Health, Partners in Health
Recent Activity: Led the $62 million drive for the Campaign for Catholic Schools in 2012
How influential is Connors? Last year, when he stepped down from the boards of Mass General Hospital, Brigham and Women's, and partners HealthCare, President Obama put together a thank-you video for his retirement gala. At Boston College, the Hill Holliday founder has sat on the board of trustees since 1979 and (twice) been chairman, and he funded the Connors Family Retreat and Conference Center. And after a falling-out with the Archdiocese of Boston related to the sex abuse scandal, he returned to help lead the $62 million Campaign for Catholic Schools. At Brigham and Women's, meanwhile, he was a driving force behind the Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women's Health and Gender Biology. Then there's the $45 million he's raised for Mayor Menino's pet project, the Camp Harbor View summer camp for at-risk Boston kids. In other words, Jack Connors is, as one of the city's most prominent businessmen told us, "the beacon of philanthropy for the city of Boston."
Ned Johnson and Abigail Johnson
Father-Daughter Dynasty, Fidelity Investments
Board Memberships:Â Edward C. Johnson Fund, Fidelity Foundation, Alzheimer Research Forum
Recent Activity: Donated $29 million to charities in 2011
It's true that some nonprofit leaders are worrying that the Johnsons have turned their eyes away from Boston, as both the Fidelity Foundation and the Edward C. Johnson Fund were moved to New Hampshire in 2010. Still, the influence of the father-daughter team in the city remains profound, as they donated $29 million to charities in 2011. As one important philanthropist says, "People don't realize the footprint and impact that the Johnson family has, and continues to have, on our community."
Peter & Carolyn Lynch
Board Memberships: Lynch Foundation, Boston College, Catholic Schools Foundation, Harvard Medical School Board of Fellows, New England Conservatory, Peabody Essex Museum
Recent Activity: Gave $20 million to Boston College in 2010
After earning a fortune managing Fidelity's Magellan Fund, Peter Lynch retired in 1990, at 46, to dedicate his time and considerable resources to philanthropy. He and his wife, Carolyn, were one of the first funders of Teach for America (back in 1990), and have raised and donated millions to the local Campaign for Catholic Schools. They've also directed $30 million to Boston College for education causes, including a leadership academy that trains principals. Where's it held? At BC's Lynch School of Education.
Paul Grogan
President and CEO, the Boston Foundation
Board Memberships: Brandeis University, New Profit, CEOs for Cities
Recent Activity:Â Directed $88 million to area nonprofits in 2012
Having transformed the Boston Foundation into a veritable think tank, Grogan serves as the city's moral conscience, driving the conversation on charter schools, gangs, and, more generally, how to improve life for city residents. But the Boston Foundation puts plenty of brawn behind its brains, handing out $88 million in grant money in 2012. One fundraising consultant told us that "Grogan has demonstrated the way a community foundation, given assets and connections, can really change the agenda."
John Fish
Chairman and CEO, Suffolk Construction
Board Memberships Red & Blue Foundation, Boston College, Boston Scholar Athletes, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, Catholic Schools Foundation, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Salvation Army
Recent Activity Oversaw $6.4 million in nonprofit grants in 2011
Fish has harnessed the connections he's built while serving on some of the city's most influential nonprofit boards to rise to the top of Boston's power structure. Consider that, even though he's not a Boston College alum, he's managed to work his way up to become the vice chairman of the school's ultra-wired board of trustees. He was also the guy that Mayor Menino called in 2009 to start and cochair the Boston Scholar Athletes program, which provides learning resources for student athletes.
Joseph and Katherine O'Donnell
Businessman; Philanthropist
Board Memberships: Joey O'Donnell Foundation Trust, Harvard Corporation
Recent Activity: Gave $30 million to Harvard in 2012
The O'Donnells have been hugely important to biotech and Harvard—both key local industries. Since the death of their 12-year-old son Joey from cystic fibrosis in 1986, the two have helped raise more than $250 million for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, driving promising drug research at the pharmaceutical giant Vertex. At Harvard, meanwhile, Joe is helping to lead the school's new $6 billion capital campaign.
Joyce Linde
Board Memberships:Â Linde Family Foundation, Museum of Fine Arts, DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Boston Symphony Orchestra
Recent Activity: Funded the MFA's $12.5 million contemporary-art wing, which opened in 2011
The Lindes, who made their fortune in the real estate investment company Boston Properties, have been fixtures in Boston philanthropy. Ed served as board chair at the BSO, and the couple pledged $25 million to MIT for undergraduate scholarships in 2008. Ed passed away in 2010, but Joyce continues to serve on the MFA, BSO, and DeCordova boards, among others, and she was the main donor behind the MFA's $12.5 million Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art.
The Krafts
Owners, New England Patriots and the Kraft Group
Board Memberships: Robert & Myra Kraft Family Foundation, MRK Foundation, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, New England Patriots Charitable Foundation
Recent Activity:Â Gave $20 million to Partners HealthCare in 2011
Over their five decades together, Bob and Myra Kraft gave away more than $100 million. Myra's 2011 death was widely mourned by the city's philanthropic community, but Bob and his four sons are continuing the family's tradition of charity, including renaming the Patriots' Community MVP Awards, which annually offer $100,000 in grants to local volunteers, after Myra. Son Josh, meanwhile, is turning heads as the president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, where he's working with one of the city's most high-profile boards.
Barbara Lee
Board Memberships: Barbara Lee Family Foundation, Institute of Contemporary Art, Emerge Massachusetts, Women's Leadership Board of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government
Recent Activity: Gave a seven-figure donation to the ICA to endow the chief curator position in 2012
Lee received plenty of attention in 2000, when she helped kick-start the capital campaign to build the ICA with a $5 million gift. In 2012, she made another million-dollar-plus donation to the institution, to endow the ICA's chief curator position. But Lee is best known for her political activism: For more than a decade, she has provided training, raised campaign funds, sponsored research, and mobilized voters to help elect women to office, both locally and nationally, including Massachusetts' very own Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Ted Cutler
Arts Patron
Board Memberships: Theodore H. Cutler Family Trust, Outside the Box, Emerson College
Recent Activity:Â Cochaired the $35 million drive for the new Greater Boston Food Bank building, which opened in 2009
A native of Dorchester, Cutler built his fortune on trade shows and corporate travel and has since used it to help reposition his alma mater, Emerson, as the hub of the Hub's arts world—including the stunning restoration of the Cutler Majestic Theatre in 2003. Having cochaired the $35 million drive to build the Greater Boston Food Bank's new facility, which opened in 2009, he's now turned his attention to creating Outside the Box, a citywide arts extravaganza that launches this July and aims to make Boston a key destination on the summer-festival map. "He's the greatest kind of patron," says one municipal bigwig. "For so many people who are wealthy, it's about the influence. When Ted Cutler gives money to do something, it's the experts who are the ones who create art, not the funders."
Carl Shapiro
Board Memberships: Carl and Ruth Shapiro Family Foundation
Recent Activity: Gave $42 million to Dana-Farber and Boston Medical Center in 2008
If you've been to a hospital in this city, chances are you've been in a building named after the Shapiros. Over the past 10 years, the family has donated more than $100 million to charities, including Boston Medical Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Brigham and Women's. Of course, the Shapiros were among the major victims of the Madoff scandal, paying $625 million in 2010 to settle related claims. That wiped out much of their fortune and led to questions about the future of their philanthropic efforts. But their foundation gave away $13 million in 2011, and still has assets of $79 million.
John Barros
Executive director, Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative
Board Memberships: Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative
Recent Activity: Leveraged government grants into $70 million in private donations
Barros, a former Barr fellow, has become a sought-after voice on education issues thanks to his role on the Boston School Committee and his leadership with the Boston Promise Initiative, an innovative program that uses schools to help revitalize the areas of Roxbury and north Dorchester. Barros has turned $6 million in federal grants into an impressive $70 million in aligned funding from public and private organizations, while hammering out partnerships with 80 different groups.
Catherine D'Amato
President and CEO, the Greater Boston Food Bank
Board Memberships: The Boston Foundation, Massachusetts Food Association
Recent Activity: Oversaw the food bank's $35 million capital campaign in 2009
When D'Amato joined the GBFB in 1995, it was a respected organization that annually distributed about 9 million pounds of food and had revenues of $14.7 million. In the years since, D'Amato has used her fundraising and networking skills to turn the food bank into one of the country's most prominent hunger organizations—particularly with the 2009 opening of the Yawkey Distribution Center. Last year, the nonprofit distributed 41 million pounds of food and had $66.6 million in revenue.
Gerald Chertavian
Founder and CEO, Year Up
Board Memberships: Harvard Business School Social Enterprise Initiative, Massachusetts State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education
Recent Activity: Raised $46.4 million in 2011
Chertavian founded Year Up—a Boston-based organization that gives low-income young people access to training and corporate internships, and prepares them for college—in 2000, and since then the nonprofit has been remarkably successful. A stunning 84 percent of alumni were employed or attending college within four months of graduating from the program. That's impressive enough that President Obama gave the organization a shout-out during a town-hall meeting, and Year Up has now expanded to 10 cities.
Seth and Beth Klarman
CEO and President, The Baupost Group; Philanthropist
Board Memberships: Klarman Family Foundation, Broad Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, McLean Hospital National Council
Recent Activity: Gave $32.5 million to the Broad Institute in 2012
Since Seth Klarman started at the Baupost Group in 1982, the legendary hedge fund has averaged an annual gain of around 20 percent. Little surprise, then, that he and his wife, Beth—she runs their foundation—have taken the same focus on high-impact returns in their philanthropic ventures. In 2012 they gave $32.5 million to the Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, funding an extensive research project to understand the wiring of human cells—an effort that the institute's director has likened to the Human Genome Project.
Joanna Jacobson
Founder and Managing Partner, Strategic Grant Partners
Board Memberships: David Project, Harvard Business School Social Enterprise Initiative, Youth Villages
Recent Activity: Gave $5.1 million in grants in 2011
Jacobson, a Harvard MBA and former president of the Keds Corporation, brings a venture philanthropist's focus on results to Strategic Grant Partners, which she started in 2002 as a nonprofit incubator. Legendary investors such as Seth Klarman, James Pallotta, and Josh Bekenstein enlist her to help them discover, and then fund, some of the area's best nonprofits. Groups receiving SGP donations, which have included Year Up and Youth Villages, are expected to quantify their results, in the form of, say, higher test scores or revenue growth.
Peter Slavin
President, Massachusetts General Hospital
Board Memberships: Massachusetts General Hospital, Massachusetts Hospital Association, MIT
Recent Activity: Raised $1.4 billion for MGH between 2005 and 2012
In 2005, Slavin and MGH started a massive fundraising drive, "The Campaign for the Third Century of MGH Medicine," to raise money for research, patient care, and a new building. Five years later, he publicly announced the $1.5 billion campaign—the largest in New England hospital history—as well as the fact that nearly two-thirds of the target amount had already been raised. As of last fall, MGH had hit 94 percent of the goal, and is likely to reach 100 percent by the end of 2013.
Phillip and Susan Ragon
Founder, Intersystems Corporation; Vice President, Intersystems Corporation
Board Memberships: Phillip T. and Susan M. Ragon Institute Foundation
Recent Activity: Pledged $100 million for AIDS research in 2009
Here's one way to make an instant—and long-lasting—impact on philanthropy in a city: Bring together top scientists from the finest institutions (MGH, MIT, and Harvard) in a new collaborative environment (the Ragon Institute) for cutting-edge AIDS research (developing a vaccine) and fund it with $100 million over 10 years.
Ted Kelly
Chairman, Liberty Mutual
Board Memberships: Kelly Family Foundation, Boston Symphony Orchestra
Recent Activity: Leads fundraising to cover BSO's $20 million annual budget gap
As the board chairman for the BSO, Kelly is responsible for convincing wealthy donors to help cover the $20 million gap between revenues and operating costs. He's also chairman of Liberty Mutual, and last year the company announced that it was increasing annual local giving by 20 percent, to $17 million, and had finalized an $8 million, three-year deal to continue funding the BSO's Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular.
Malcolm Rogers
Director, Museum of Fine Arts
Recent Activity: Led a $504 million campaign that funded a new wing, which opened in 2010
As the director of the MFA for almost 20 years, Rogers has developed a stellar reputation for programming, and for being able to raise the kinds of funds it takes to run a world-class institution. That includes a $504 million capital campaign that led to the 2010 opening of the Art of the Americas Wing—the museum's first addition since 1981.
Joan Wallace-Benjamin
President and CEO, The Home for Little Wanderers
Board Memberships: Home for Little Wanderers, Children's League of Massachusetts
Recent Activity: Raised $8.2 million in 2011
With her organization needing to escape its decaying Jamaica Plain headquarters, Wallace-Benjamin made the bold decision in 2011 to sell the J.P. land to a developer and invest in a new space in Walpole. Last November, she and Little Wanderers celebrated the opening of the $18 million project, which has doubled the number of children with behavioral and developmental problems that can be served, all amid a bucolic 166 acres.
Vanessa Kirsch
Founder and Managing Director, New Profit
Board Memberships: Tisch College at Tufts, College Summit
Recent Activity: Oversaw $10.7 million in donations to charities in 2011
When you're donating a sum with a bunch of zeroes, it helps to know how well the money will be spent. Enter Kirsch. Her New Profit organization acts as an investment manager for philanthropic portfolios, using data-driven analysis to weigh a nonprofit's effectiveness, and providing the guidance and oversight to ensure that donated funds are used efficiently. It's quickly become a national model for venture philanthropy firms.
Susan Paresky
Senior Vice President for Development and the Jimmy Fund, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Recent Activity: Led Dana-Farber's capital campaign, which reached $1.18 billion in 2010
Since joining the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Paresky has helped increase the organization's annual gifts from about $30 million to as much as $200 million, overseen the Jimmy Fund (perhaps the state's best-known charity), and—in the middle of a recession—spearheaded a capital campaign that raised $1.18 billion.
Bill and Joyce Cummings
Founder, Cummings Properties; Director, Cummings Properties
Board Memberships:Â Cummings Foundation, New Horizons
Recent Activity: Pledging $10 million to area nonprofits this year
In 2011 the Cummingses became the first Massachusetts residents to sign the Giving Pledge, a public promise—the brainchild of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates—by billionaires to donate the majority of their wealth to charity. (The Cummingses, according to their Giving Pledge announcement, had already planned to give away 90 percent of their fortune.) And the couple isn't waiting to pass on its money through an estate: This year, the Cummingses are handing out 100 grants of $100,000 each to local nonprofits.
Who's # 26?
A look at 10 other philanthropy powerhouses.
Joshua and Anita Bekenstein
Flush with Bain money, the always-ready-to-donate Bekensteins play major roles at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, City Year, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, New Profit, and the Pan-Mass Challenge.
Gururaj and Jaishree Deshpande
The funders behind MIT's Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation—which supports research and startups—gave $2.75 million to charities in 2011.
Anne Finucane
As the chairwoman of the Bank of America Foundation, Finucane oversees a massive organization that gives $200 million a year to charities around the world, and $12 million to local causes.
Wyc and Corinne Grousbeck
The Celtics co-owner and his wife are wired in Boston, and are hyper-involved with the Perkins School for the Blind, to which they recently donated $10 million for the Grousbeck Center for Students and Technology.
James Healey
The Yawkey Foundations (of which Healey is president) donated $23 million to 214 organizations in 2011, including causes such as the New England Home for Little Wanderers and the Bridge Over Troubled Waters program, which helps runaway and homeless youth.
Jay Hooley
In 2011, Hooley's State Street Corporation matched $2.2 million in employee donations, while offering a companywide program that paired workers with charities and resulted in 85,000 volunteer hours. The State Street Foundation, meanwhile, gave $10.5 million to local charities in 2011.
Claudio Martinez
The executive director of the Hyde Square Task Force has turned a small neighborhood group into a national model for community organizations.
James and Kim Pallotta
Our sources tell us that the hedge fund–wealthy Pallottas give a ton of money around town—but almost always keep it anonymous. The Pallottas are also prime movers at New Profit and Strategic Grant Partners, two forward-thinking venture philanthropy groups.
John Simon
The GreenLight Fund cofounder connects local equity and tech networks with the leaders of successful nonprofits in other American cities—such as Friends of the Children (Portland, Oregon) and Raising a Reader (Redwood City, California)—to help launch Boston chapters.
Henri and Belinda Termeer
Genzyme might be in the rearview mirror for the Termeers, but the couple continues to donate to health causes, including a $10 million gift in 2011 to fund research on targeted therapies at MGH's cancer center.

Note that the course 'Essentials of Acute and Chronic Prescribing' is a pre-requisite to 'Case Analysis and Case Management' except for students of Dr. Saine or very experienced practitioners.
Provides an excellent overview of acute and chronic prescribing, with methodical instruction in each step of homeopathic practice: case taking, case analysis, how to effectively use the materia medica, the prescription, and follow-up. Ideally suited for practitioners wanting to achieve mastery in homeopathy. Live case taking and analysis vividly illustrate the material. What makes this course even more valuable is that Dr. Saine draws from within the perspective of pure homeopathy, a most compelling and comprehensive overview of health, disease and healing, longevity, and the role of lifestyle and complementary approaches.
Taught by Dr. Saine for 18 years at the NCH and described by many as an essential prerequisite for successful practice. Past evaluations rated this course 10/10 on all points by 100% of attendees, including a medical practitioner with 25 years of experience in homeopathy! Past attendees of this course are welcome to attend as a refresher with no tuition. Some have returned more than two times to further deepen their understanding of pure homeopathy, as well as to learn from the newly added course material.
These courses are offered to physicians and other primary contact health care practitioners and students of these disciplines.
Books required to bring to Class
Required reading for Course I:
These books can be purchased from any homeopathic bookseller or on the Internet, http://www.minimum.com.
IMPORTANT: For students with little or no knowledge of the repertory, a mandatory one-day pre-requisite course on the use of the repertory will be offered by Dr. Lisa Samet, N.D., D.H.A.N.P. in May 29 2015.
Dean of the Canadian Academy of Homeopathy Dr. André Saine is a graduate of National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon and has been the Dean of the Canadian Academy of Homeopathy since 1986. He has taught homeopathy extensively in North America and Europe for over 25 years to health care professionals.
"Dr. Saine's course on Acute and Chronic Prescribing is an excellent introduction to homeopathy for physicians. Even those who know a fair amount about the subject will benefit greatly from this course. The course takes students through an overview of the fundamentals of homeopathic theory, the process of repertorization, and an introduction to the study of materia medica. Case taking, case analysis, and prescribing are discussed, and students observe Dr. Saine take two new patient cases in person and see how he reasons through the case. In addition, the course introduces students to the rich history of homeopathy and emphasizes the importance a healthy diet and lifestyle to the healing process. Dr. Saine is a true scholar, gifted teacher, and master clinician. Attending this course will undoubtedly change how you think about and practice medicine."
- Michelle Dossett, MD, PhDFellow in Integrative Medicine, Division of General Medicine and Primary Care, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School
"Everyone who practices homeopathy would greatly benefit from Dr.Saine's practical and thorough teaching. His knowledge of and enthusiasm for homeopathy are contagious. The in-class patients really brought the teaching to life."
- Louise Harvie, R.N., New York

Yale Quarterback Withdraws Rhodes Application to Play Harvard
Yale University senior quarterback Patrick Witt withdrew his application for the Rhodes Scholarship to play in his final college football game this weekend against Harvard University.
Witt, 22, said last week he would ask the Rhodes Trust for an interview on Nov. 19, which would have allowed him to meet with scholarship representatives at Emory University in Atlanta and then fly back to New Haven, Connecticut, for a noon kickoff against the Crimson. The schools meet on the final weekend of every season in a contest known as "The Game."
Witt didn't say whether the trust considered his request for an early interview in a brief statement released by the school last night, a day after he passed for 379 yards and three touchdowns in a 33-24 win over Princeton University.
"I will be playing in the Yale-Harvard game this Saturday," Witt said. "I have withdrawn my application for the Rhodes Scholarship. My focus this week is solely on preparing for the game alongside my teammates and coaches."
Witt, the leading passer in Yale history, said yesterday in an e-mail that he wouldn't have further comment. He said last week the decision was the "biggest of my life" and had become a distraction as he tried to prepare for both the game against Harvard and the interview.
The Rhodes Scholarship, awarded by the trust, is the oldest and one of the most prestigious international graduate scholarship awards, granted each year to students who display outstanding intellect, character, leadership and commitment to service. Recipients are given the opportunity for postgraduate study at the University of Oxford in England.
"In the description of the Rhodes, leadership is a major facet of who they select as candidates and finalists," Witt said last week in an interview. "In some ways, if I were to attend the interview and miss the game, I wouldn't be acting as the leader that they selected to interview."
Witt passed Alvin Cowan as the Bulldogs' all-time passing leader in the win over Princeton and now has 5,807 yards for his career. Yale has a 5-4 record this season while Harvard, at 8-1, clinched its 14th Ivy League title with last week's 37-20 win over the University of Pennsylvania.
Witt previously said he's exploring the possibility of applying for a Rhodes Scholarship again next year. He was offered a job with The Boston Consulting Group after interning with the company in Los Angeles last summer, and said that may be a possibility for next year.

dude that's great thank you ,,, Please post it soon I need out of VBuLL I cant wait........
I found that the converter for photopost with VB and photopost in one database has a problem. when I try to convert members (I really don't need to but the converter forces me to) it tells me NO emails.. This makes cents because photopost is merged with VBull and it uses the vbull member information. The real problem is that I cant go any further than the members in the photo conversion. The button tells me cant convert even know the required conversion buttons before it has been satisfied. I think this is because photopost is not stand alone? Is there a way around this to convert the complete package at once?
your the best ,,,BIG THANK YOU. soon I will have all the tools to get the complete package!!!
did we ever get the converter? Im really in need!

Are you going the extra mile or running down the road to ruin? This is a question that you must ask yourself periodically. Too much of a good thing can hurt you. In this case, running too many high mileage runs and/or speed workouts without adequate rest could mean that you get weaker and slower. Worse yet, serious injuries can happen when you overtrain.
How much rest is enough? Runners at all levels are susceptible to overtraining. Hopefully, you have already realized that going hard every day is bad. It gets more complicated when you decide how much to cut back on your "easy" days. What does it look like when you are taking it easy enough?
Here are some basic guidelines:
Alternate tough training days with very easy, short runs. Your pace should be at least 60-90 seconds slower per mile than your race pace. The mileage on your short runs can vary between 1/4 and 1/2 of the distance of your one weekly extra-long run. Schedule a day off each week. Some recommend taking the day off after a significant tempo run, which includes at least half of the distance at race-pace.
What are the signs of overtraining? By the time you get a stress fracture, it is far too late. There are over 130 symptoms that can be associated with overtraining, which makes it quite complicated. One of the earliest signs of overtraining, how3ever, is the runner's psychological state. It is common to become irritable after a tough workout, but this should only last a day or two.
Thankfully, Dr. Jack Raglan has created a method of screening yourself on an ongoing basis to check for overtraining. This questionnaire can be found at the end of this article at www.runnersworld.com.
Take this quiz once a week–or once a day during periods of hard training. A score of 40 or more means you should rest more and run less. A score of 15 or less suggests you're balancing your training and recovery well. A score that falls in the middle isn't of immediate concern, but should be monitored. "Look for rapid changes," Raglin says. "If your score suddenly skyrockets, it's time to take a break."

Conclusion: Run hard, rest hard, and stay hydrated!
Happy Running!

Experience strength of FC swim team
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Fox Chapel Area High School swim teams had a strong 2011-12 campaign as the girls finished with a 10-2 record and the boys ended up 8-4.
The Foxes qualified 18 swimmers for the WPIAL championships in 77 events while the diving team, coached by Vernon Yennick, had three qualifiers.
It was also a record-setting year for a pair of returning swimmers.
Senior Zihan Su set new school records in the 100 backstroke and 200 intermediate while fellow senior Scott Sterrett set a new school record in the 100 breaststroke. They each qualified for eight WPIAL events.
Coach Todd Clark, who will be assisted by new coach Erin Bruni, will have a lot of senior leadership to work with as the team returns seven seniors on the boys squad and four on the girls.
Along with Sterrett and Su, seniors for the boys are David Ahn, Travis Eckman, Ryan Foster, Jake Gerger and Taj Singh. Senior girls are Alexis Boyd, Claire McCarthy, Anna Mucci and Amanda Todd.
Much of the girls success will ride on the shoulders of junior Sia Beasley, a three-year starter who qualified in seven WPIAL events last year.
Other juniors are Paula Lee-Oesterreich, Adlai Nelson and Paige Neid.
Sophomores on the team are Sanders Bennett, Maura Clark, Franny Dean, Emily Eames, Faith Kim, Victoria Souza and Miranda Simon.
Freshmen who could contribute are Kelly Arel, Erin Curry, Maddie Dimedio, Emme Germanos, Nicola Lee-Oesterreich, Autumn Moorhouse, Emily Trageser, Olivia Van Dyke and Freesia Vettier.
Juniors on the boys side are Dante Cordaro, Robert Graham, Addison Lynch and Kyle Pawlowski.
Sophomores are Noah Cagley, Gerry Chen, Ian Gillespie, Will Kolbrener, Andres Marcos, Andrew Siar and John Zottola.
They will be joined by freshmen Christopher Esch, Logan Foster, Michael Kuhn, Stephen Polcyn and Konrad Urban.
The Foxes will find themselves in a new section this year due to realignment.
North Allegheny is gone and new opponents will include Oakland Catholic, Central Catholic and Allderdice. Despite the new challenges, Clark expects the Foxes to have another successful campaign.
"We lost some good seniors but we expect this year's seniors to be a strong group," Clark said. "Our underclassmen should also contribute."
Yenick's diving squad should also be strong as the Foxes boast six returning divers.
