Hired Mourners are Making Big Money in Western Kenya
This is a very un African Culture.
The world has changed in every aspect of life. But the idea that professional mourners should be hired to mourn at funerals of loved ones is by far, the most bizarre angle to the social change sweeping our world.
In Western Kenya among the Luo speaking people, a new culture of hiring professional mourners is on the rise. Young, unemployed men and women are making brisk and lucrative business by offering themselves as professional mourners at funerals of relatives of rich Luos who now find mourning at the funerals of their dead relatives costly. It seems to me, death is slowly losing its sting, because, going by what is happening in Western Kenya, why would anybody want someone else to mourn for a dead relative?
What happens is that the Professional mourners are generally shouting professionals who literally act bereavement! They wail, lament and say all sorts of things to express sorrow but deep within them, they feel nothing because all they do is for money. Many of those involved in professional mourning are youthful individuals who keep perfecting their mourning skills every time they are hired. As a result, some have gained so much reputation in the industry that they charge higher professional fees than others.
In other parts of the world, professional mourning is already embedded in the cultures of the people, but all I can say is that it is very un African. If you have lived in Africa, you may have noticed that many African societies take death very seriously and personally. Europeans running NGOs in many parts of Africa know that some of the greatest time wasters in the organizations they run is attending funerals by Project staff. Most Africans will never miss a burial of a relative even when such a relationship is not so close because that is the culture they found obtaining in their societies. But when mourners are hired to wail and yell at funerals, they leave the unpalatable impression that those close to the deceased have not been deeply affected by the loss of that dear one and yet death naturally should affect people.
We pray that this culture should die naturally at its origin because if it spreads across the continent, some of our most respected core values around death will be badly watered down by this new trend on bereavement.

A new one on me Gaby cheers

Will it be the will of the death or the relatives knowing the death enjoy big show, so mourners have been hired? In my place, death could be very costly. Thanks for sharing.

Something very similar happens in India too.
On November 23, 2010 at 2:23 am
I learn something new everyday, and this is very new information. I had no idea people did that. When someone I know dies, friends and relatives show up.
On November 23, 2010 at 5:59 am
Why is this trend catching on? I have never understood this need for professional mourners in any country.
On November 23, 2010 at 12:23 pm
I have read about different cultures using professional mourners. I have no experience with it. It seems very weird.
On November 24, 2010 at 5:57 am
Ah, we also have that stunt in our vountry. We call them the :Crying Ladies".
On November 27, 2010 at 3:42 pm
It seems so strange. I have not heard of this. It is not nice at all. I wonder how they get paid. How much? Why?
Congrats Gaby 7 for making Leos list. I will have to google this. Such this are heartless.

I had never heard of such a thing, but it makes me wonder. Are all the families who hire these mourners rich and well-to-do? If so, it could be the case the the dearly departed was a greedy, money-grubbing, unlikable individual, and those who knew him/her are glad to be rid of them.

Does anyone know if how doing this in Tomcat?
I know there is a way to get the status from tomcat by means of an http request, but it would be better to have information logged at a certain sample rate..

BUCKNER – There was little doubt what Chris Amstutz would do for his Eagle Scout project.
Amstutz, of Goshen, and an alumnus of the Oldham County Youth Football League, has improved the league's facilities with new landscaping and repair and cleaning of some existing structures at the league complex in Wendell Moore Park.
"I just thought I would do my project at a place that really meant something to me and a place that would benefit the new kids coming in," Amstutz said. "I just wanted to make it better if I could."

Summer days may be long, but there is no shortage of activities in and near Newtown, from hiking to biking to horseback riding to swimming. A few Newtowners offered their own recommendations for summer outings.
Fox Ridge Farm boasts many activities for equestrians of all levels. Sitting on 25 acres, Pat Gregory and Fox Ridge Farm have been located on Aunt Park Lane for 14 years. All Ms Gregory asks is that the young riders come equipped with a well-fitting, approved helmet, long pants, and a pair of boots with a one-inch heel.

With Congress coming back today from the July 4 recess, time will be short and work will be long as the proposed deadlines for completion of healthcare reform legislation mark-ups loom. In the House, July 31 is the target date; in the Senate it's August 8.
Can they make those deadlines?
In the House, key issues—including a public health insurance option, health exchange, and caps on out-of-pocket spending—have been included in a draft bill approved by three House committees. The big questions now on the table: How much will it cost, and how to pay for it?
In the Senate, the costs have had the focus. Before he left town for the recess, Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), chair of the Senate Finance Committee, announced that the panel's reform package now had "options" that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said "would cost under $1 trillion [over 10 years] and would be fully paid for." These options, though, were not specified, but are thought to include lowered insurance subsidies for lower- and middle-income Americans.
The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee went back to the budget drawing board and came up last week with a bill that was scored by the CBO at just over $611 billion over 10 years—a vast drop from the $1 trillion score a week earlier, according to a letter by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT), who is chairing the committee as Kennedy continues to deal with a brain tumor.
So now come the details. Especially in the Senate, the committees likely will be focused on several key areas—many of which have seen strong disagreement:
Public insurance option: Not surprisingly, topping the list, is a government-operated public insurance option. In their letter last week, Kennedy and Dodd said that they "will not shy away from this challenge . . . we must not settle for legislation that merely gestures at reform."
In the House draft, the public option would be operated within an insurance exchange, would be financed only by its premiums—not by requiring additional government funding—and would be subject to the same regulatory requirements as private plans.
However, GOP opposition appears strong against any type of public plan. Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), the ranking minority member of the Senate Finance Committee, said Sunday on CBS, "I am going to make sure we are not going to nationalize health insurance, and a public plan is the first step to doing that."
Employer Mandate. Under a "pay or play" provision in the HELP Committee bill, employers that do not offer their workers "adequate" coverage will be charged an annual fee $750 for each uncovered full-time employee and $375 for each part-time employee. Firms with fewer than 25 employees would be exempt from the mandate. Last week, Dodd called this "a modest cost."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Elle Macpherson Bikini Photos in Australia
Model Macpherson Still Looking 'Elle-a Hot in Her Bikini
Elle Macpherson impressed us with her surfing skills and bikini body once already this holiday season and it looks like the supermodel is still going strong! She certainly earns a place in our hottest bikini bodies of 2008 slideshow. She's still enjoying the sun in Australia with her friends where she slipped into a tiny bikini but was smart enough to cover up a little more for water skiing. It's time for those New Year's Resolutions kick into gear, and if yours involve more gym in 2009, this 44-year-old and still smoking hot model can maybe add a little motivation.

Humidity is one of the greatest enemies on any boat, causing mould in the lockers and glitches in the electronics - especially when you leave the boat unattended for a while.
The Delta 'T' System Dehumidifier
There are solutions - handy hardware-store moisture absorbers, but they only last a certain time and have to be replaced.
Then there's the large,expensive, power eating version - but a USA company has just won an innovation award for a compact unit which works on a 12 volt system, and never has to be drained.
If you can generate enough power to afford a 5.5amp output, maybe even with a timer to turn it on and off, this unit could be useful. It's called
'DryBoat' and is a product of Delta 'T' Systems.
It is one-third the size of traditional compressor/condenser type units and uses a fraction of the power, employing state-of-the-art Peltech GEOtronic Technology, with a small, solid-state heat pump.
Winner of the 2008 Innovation Award for Interior Parts given at the Marine Aftermarket Accessories Trade Show, the DryBoat reduces humidity in spaces up to 39.6 cu. m. Innovation Award judge Charles Doane, who is SAIL's editor-at-large, said, 'This device employs technology that promises to revolutionize interior climate control in boats.'
Designed for occasional or continuous use, the manufacturers say the unique system doesn't have to be emptied regularly. Instead, the water simply drains through a hose into a sink, grey-water tank or overboard. It can remove a maximum of 9.8L per week at 30° C at 80% humidity and 1.5L in typical winter conditions.
Constructed of marine-grade materials and components, the compact DryBoat measures just 21cm W x 33.9cm H x 13.5cm D and weighs 3.9kg. The unit can be used as a portable device or installed permanently. Able to fit in almost any space, it can be set directly in the galley or head sink using the optional sink stand.
Consuming 66 watts, the unit runs on 12 or 24 volt DC. An optional AC adapter is also available. It is also ignition protected.
To learn more about the product, its price and how to obtain it, go to the Delat Systems website or email them direct at

Johannesburg - The trial of a Limpopo doctor accused of raping two female patients in his surgery is set to resume in the Thohoyandou Regional Court on Monday.
The doctor, aged 40, faces two counts of rape and indecent assault after a patient claimed he forced her to have sex with him as part of her treatment. After she lodged the complaint another woman came forward with similar allegations.
The trial started in January this year.
The rape allegations made headlines in 2011, with the doctor being released on bail of R30 000 in October that year. - Sapa

The Primacoustic VoxGuard is a high performance ambient noise attenuator designed to surround the microphone and reduce unwanted sounds from contaminating the recording. This nearfield absorber works by creating an acoustic boundary around the microphone that at once contains the voice while eliminating room reflections from entering the mic.
Unlike other similar offerings that employ complex steel parts that are both heavy and cumbersome, the VoxGuard is light weight and extremely easy to use. It starts with a high-impact ABS outer surround shell that snugs onto the mic stand using the microphone's clip to hold it in place. The light weight design makes positioning the VoxGuard easy without the usual fear of the stand falling over which could ultimately damage the microphone.
This makes the VoxGuard effective when used with round base stands, tripods and even with large studio booms. Once mounted, an innovative rear access cable port allows the microphone to be articulated and directed at a specific source, thus enabling the VoxGuard to also be used as an acoustic screen.
The acoustic magic is performed with a high-density open cell acoustic foam liner. This effectively absorbs the voice range while keeping room ambiance out to produce a dry rendering. This is particularly important when attempting to record in rooms with less than ideal acoustics or in noisy spaces. Since the VoxGuard is 50% larger than comparable products, noise flanking is significantly reduced and performance vastly improved.
The VoxGuard is ideal for recording studio vocals, voice-over tracks for film and TV post production, pod casting and field reporting.

Stewart Twins to Washington
Ruth Robbins
Talk about it in Basketball Recruiting Board
Loderick and Roderick Stewart have already chosen
to go public with their big news: That being, that they will stay home and
become Washington Huskies..
The Stewarts had planned to make their
announcements on Fox Sports Sunday evening, but late last night, Sandy Ringer of
the Seattle Times reported that the twins have decided to stay local and play
for Washington, Ringer quotes the youngster as saying ""We got a chance to talk
to and play with Romar every day. He got to be like a big brother."
Sandy said that the twins had admitted that the
confession to committing to USC earlier was an attempt to "Throw the media off",
due to constant pressure to come up with answers by many fans, however they told
Sandy last night that this time it's for real.
Roderick and Loderick's father, Andrew Stewart,
says he is supportive of his son's decision, "I will support them wherever they
go", he told Realdawg.com recently, but with the coaching change at Washington,
there was still question right up until this week, on Wednesday when the two
decided it would be best to stay home and be Dawgs.
So what will happen on Fox Sports Sunday night?
For now, the Times says it's going to be
Washington. But we'll still tune in, just the same...

Currently, questions closed with an OT designation are subjected to an automatic downvote from Community. The problem is that this applies to beta sites as well, and many beta sites take a while to formulate what exactly is on-topic and what is not. So, my question is, should we remove the automatic downvote for OT questions for beta sites?
What is meta? ×
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 150 Stack Exchange communities.
Why would you be closing a question as off topic if you haven't yet formulated what's on-topic and what's not? I don't participate in many betas, and on the one I'm mostly active in (Code Review) topicality is obvious, but I think it would be preferable to not close the question as off topic if it's not clearly off topic. Looking through the closed questions on Academia, I found these:
Aren't they clearly off topic? Isn't there a relevant Meta discussion declaring them as such? If there are doubts, wouldn't it make much more sense to leave open or close for their other problems (all three read as NC to me)?
I think it would make much more sense to revoke the automatic downvote when a question is re-opened, on all sites, not just betas.

December 1, 2015
WASHINGTON (July 4, 2014) Unions that represent government workers are expanding while organized labor has been shedding private sector members over the past half-century.
A majority of union members now have ties to a government entity at the federal, state or local level.
Roughly 1-in-3 public sector workers is a union member, compared with about 1-in-15 for the private sector workforce last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Overall, 11.3 percent of U.S. wage and salary workers are unionized, down from a peak of 35 percent during the mid-1950s.
The typical union worker now is more likely to be an educator, office worker or food or service industry employee rather than a construction worker, autoworker, electrician or mechanic.
Far more women than men are among the union-label ranks.

Scientists Say Taking Adderall to Get Through Day May Be OK
College students and other concentration seekers know it's not hard to score a 'script for ADHD drugs. Fidgety, disorganized, forgetful. They know the symptoms and they work the system.
But while using Ritalin and Adderall to edge out competition in school and life is nothing new (though the science journal Nature disagrees), a vocal group of scientists supporting it is. They argue that "cognitive enhancement" should no longer be a bad word because it's no different than using education, good health habits, and technology to get ahead. Another similarity? Access to prescription drugs requires a certain degree of privilege, too!
Opponents argue that it's cheating, unnatural, and on par with drug abuse. If they want to curb this trend, I recommend showing young teens Requiem For a Dream at just the right age. But until then, is it just best to accept and regulate it?

The second in a line of nasty storms is forecast to sweep across a 2,000-mile stretch of the United States, from Colorado to New England, cutting power and snarling traffic for as many as 100 million people.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
It's a "significant" snow storm, said The Weather Channel's Kevin Roth. "There may be more than 12 inches (30 cm) from central New York into New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts overnight Tuesday."
The storm could dump more than 12 inches of snow on Kansas and Nebraska on Tuesday before moving north to dump between five and eight inches on Chicago, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Detroit, Roth said. Schools across Kansas and Missouri, states expected to bear the brunt of the new round of snow, have closed—and flight cancellations are mounting. Flight disruptions are slated to cost $2.5 billion.
The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings across 15 states early Tuesday from the Rockies to southern Maine, and another 12 states were placed on a winter weather watch
In southeastern Oklahoma, ice accumulation could be heavy enough to affect power lines, Weather.com said.
Ice could also accumulate in western Pennsylvania, western Maryland, northwest Virginia, and eastern West Virginia and threaten power outages starting Tuesday.
In Ohio, the storm dropped as much as 10 inches on Monday. In New York City, even snowplows got stuck.
Across the Plains and Midwest, temperatures are expected to be 15 to 25 degrees below average for this time of the year, according to the National Weather Service. Some 60 million Americans can now expect their heating bills to soar by more than 50 percent, a 4.5 billion-dollar hit.
Americans facing heating bill costs.
A third storm is also likely to form over the weekend according to Guy Walton, a forecaster with The Weather Channel, although it is too early to tell the orientation or path of the storm.

Re: Rugby Union 2013 Thread
Honestly, I'm pleased to see Genia benched. Whatever's going on with him, he's been very ordinary this year and seeing him take up the hideous Gregan-esque two-steps-and-pass routine has been awful. It's a shame Cooper wasn't dumped as well but I suppose we can't have everything.
The forwards really,
have to get their act together or we face further humiliation. McKenzie's bullshit about "dumbing down" his game plan (there's been a plan??) is all very well but no one can do anything without the football and the forwards have to start securing it. Of course, Cooper will throw one of his stupid no-look passes and give it away again pretty much immediately but regardless, the forwards have to step up or we're screwed.

Was this a conspiracy as charged in the indictment, or just some make-believe as the defense contends?
To the extent that Obama's example can chip away at those myths and all that make-believe, so much the better.
People tend to normalize anything, even a make-believe trip to a neighboring planet two-thirds-of-a-year away.
Donetsk, formerly a make-believe republic, is turning into a little neo-Soviet state.
They play a game called "neighborhood," in which each boy sets up a make-believe house and Edrees stops by to talk.
And undoubtedly his subtlety was to some extent a matter of make-believe.
It is understood that there is to be no make-believe about the fares.
There's no such thing as a real mock turtle any more than there is a make-believe toothache.
I can't say I'm happy, exactly, but Maud is and I'm goin' to make-believe be, for her sake.
All depends on the completeness and constancy with which the make-believe is supported.

Walmart's policy for hiring during the holiday season has ALWAYS been part-time temporary workers. How dumb are you???Why is Wal-Mart hiring so many temp workers?
As Wal-Mart (WMT) chief executive Mike Duke said Friday at the company's annual meeting, compliance with the nation's laws "is an absolute." He vowed to "do the right thing" and praised the company's foundation of integrity.
But while Wal-Mart is meeting the letter of the law in a new hiring practice, it may face additional questions about its motives. That's because the retailer is hiring only temporary workers in many locations, a move that Wal-Mart denies is tied to cutting costs.
Yet doing so would allow it to sidestep the need to enroll those employees in company-sponsored health insurance plans under Obamacare....
The move marks the first time the retailer has relied on temps outside of the busy holiday shopping season.

In passing the WARN Act, Congress allowed participating carriers to offer subscribers the capability to block all WEAs except those issued by the President."
So when was the WARN Act passed?
"Congress Passes Warning, Alert and Response Network Act (WARN Act) as Part of Larger Port Security Bill
- October 05, 2006"
Who was running the government in 2006? Barack Obama?
No, the Republicans controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress.
So why blame Obama for Orwellian measures implemented by Republicans?
The right's ONLY agenda is to blame Obama for anything they think will hurt his approval ratings, whether or not it is really his fault. Lying about the President is SOP these days - by the leadership, by rightwing media, and by the mindless rightwing drones who populate Topix.

Here are the facts about WalMart ...
Wal-Mart's low wages cost taxpayers plenty
Because of the chain's low wages, its workers are often pushed to accept public aid, including food stamps and subsidized housing, according to a report from congressional Democrats.
That means a single Wal-Mart Supercenter store in Wisconsin may require taxpayers to shell out as much as $1.7 million per year -- or nearly $6,000 per employee -- in aid, according to one estimate in the report. A second estimate pegged the cost to taxpayers at a lower $904,542 per Supercenter. The study examined Wal-Mart stores in Wisconsin because of the availability of Medicaid enrollment data for the fourth quarter of 2012.
WalMart has ALWAYS shifted expenses for it's employees healthcare onto the public sector. It's what they've done for years. It has absolutely nothing to do with Obamacare.
Blaming the President for WalMart's outrageous and immoral employment practices is not just blindly partisan, it's fundamentally dishonest. Only a mindless wingnut dupe would swallow that tripe.

Don't people realize the reason Louis Freeh had to "retire" from his "distinguished" government career is he is unethical and immoral. But he continues his dirty, immoral assaults in the private sector for huge payouts. Louis Freeh was bought by dirty PA state government to falsely implicate Joe Paterno and others at the university. Paterno is the new Richard Jewell. He was another private citizen that was attacked and falsely accused by then government employed Louis Freeh. Jewell got millions once the public realized what Freeh had tried to do to him. The same will happen with Paterno. His widow will get millions for the slander that Freeh is attempting to lead against the late coach. Again, Freeh leads an all out government assault on a private citizen to spare the PA state government criminals from punishment.

Wal-Marts new hiring method has absolutely nothing to do with their policy of hiring temporary workers during the holiday season.

Walmarts low-road competitive practices hurt not only the companys 1.3 million employees - who suffer from lost income, poor working conditions and economic insecurity - but it also hurt all American taxpayers. The nations largest private-sector employer is also the largest employer of workers - who according to a Bloomberg study earn an average of $8.81 an hour - dependent on food stamps, subsidized housing and child care, government health insurance for low-income individuals, and other forms of public assistance. The Democratic staff of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce recently released a report stating that the poverty wages and poor benefits at a single Walmart store might cost taxpayers as much $1 million per year in higher usage of public-assistance programs by both Walmart employees and their dependents.
Higher wages, better benefits and more full-time jobs at Walmarts 4,000 stores across the nation, in contrast, would also have a broad-based beneficial economic impact. They would make Walmart workers less reliant on public assistance, help to end the enormous taxpayer subsidy of the worlds largest retailer, which is owned the countrys richest family, and give a much-needed boost to the economy of urban America.
I'm surpised Mitt Romney hasnt bought out the Waltons, it's his kind of business. Reap BIG money while the workers make peanuts. The Waltons and Romneys of the world are destroying this country .
But most people already knew that.

Of course this nonsense has already been debunked.
Great Moments in Journalism
In case you missed it, there was a big scoop on Saturday evening from CNET, purporting to report that Rep. Jerry Nadler revealed that hed been told in a classified briefing that NSA analysts could choose to listen to domestic phone calls simply on the basis of their decision that they were worth listening to - no warrant, no national security letter.
It caused a minor explosion Saturday evening but pretty quickly people noticed that it was based on a highly ambiguous exchange between Nadler and FBI Director Robert Mueller and that the reporter hadnt even talked to Nadler to confirm what he meant. But late Saturday evening, the story seemed increasingly shaky and Sunday morning Nadler released a statement appearing to invalidate the whole thing. Yet, CNET tried to brazen it out with a small change to the headline and an update at the end of the article basically pretending that the article still held up.
If you were enjoying your Fathers Day weekend and missed the whole thing, good for you. Another example of how sloppy journalism can misinform, especially when reporters refuse to own up to their mistakes.

The Supreme Court struck down an Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship before voter registration. However, it did so because federal law trumps state law. If the federal law was changed, requiring proof of citizenship first would be acceptable. Seventy-one percent (71%) of voters favor such a requirement.

I have a number of questions regarding the process for gaining dual citizenship. I have seen so many conflicting bits of information and my family wants to be properly prepared.
I have seen on one site under their apostille section stating that "documents" need to be less than a year old. Is this solely for apostilles? We have original birth/death/marriage certificates and are unsure if we need to request new, fresher copies of them.
Thanks very much.

Go ahead and vote for Anchorage's Kikkan Randall in an online poll to see which Team USA athlete is the popular choice to carry the American flag at the Winter Olympics opening ceremonies next week in Sochi, Russia.
But the people you really need to influence are Olympians like hockey player Zach Parise and curler Erika Brown.
Athletes will chose who among them will march ahead of Team USA at Friday's opening ceremonies. The choice is made a day or two before the Games begin, U.S. Ski Team spokesman Tom Kelly said Friday.
More specifically, team captains will make the decision on behalf of the 231 U.S. athletes going to Sochi, Kelly said.
Randall, a three-time Olympian and medal favorite in cross-country skiing, is one of 13 choices in an nbcolympics.com poll that asks who should be the U.S. flagbearer in Sochi.
As of Friday evening, she shared second place with ski jumper Lindsey Van with 10 percent of the vote. Bobsledder Chris Fogt leads with 13 percent.
Fogt is tough competition -- he's an Army major who served a year in Afghanistan after competing at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
That kind of compelling background -- poverty overcome, diseases and injuries conquered, tours of duty served -- compete with perseverance and athletic achievement when it comes to picking flagbearers.
A look at past opening-ceremony flagbearers reveals few familiar names -- figure skater Scott Hamilton in 1980 may be the only true star among them.
Alaskans may recognize Bill Koch, the 1992 flagbearer, because he is a cross-country skier and this is a state of cross-country skiers -- and because Koch's name is coming up more and more as the Sochi Games near. Koch's 1976 silver medal made him the first and only American to win an Olympic medal in cross-country skiing, and many expect Randall to become the second.
Take away figure skating, hockey, snowboarding and alpine skiing, and few Americans achieve long-lasting stardom at the Winter Olympics, which is one reason why the list of flagbearers may draw blank stares. At the 2010 Olympics, the field of Americans included superstars like Shaun White, Apolo Ohno, Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn. The flagbearer was the equally accomplished but comparatively anonymous luger Mark Grimmette, a five-time Olympian and two-time medal winner.
One year, the flagbearer wasn't even an athlete. At the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, the U.S. flag was carried by Godfrey Dewey, the manager of the ski team and, more significantly, the president of the Lake Placid Organizing Committee, which had won the bid for the 1932 Winter Olympics largely due to Dewey's efforts.
Countries also select someone to carry the flag in the closing ceremonies, an honor that for Team USA often goes to someone who distinguished himself or herself during the Games. Both flag carriers are chosen by their peers.
"That's what makes it special; they are not only representing their country but they are also representing their teammates," U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Patrick Sandusky said in a 2012 Reuters report on flagbearers.
"It's not something from a bureaucratic standpoint or trading a favor; it's the athletes themselves deciding who they think is the right person."
Randall's case is easy to make.
She is a four-time Olympian who comes in as the two-time reigning World Cup sprint champion. She is an ambassador for her sport who intends to make cross-country skiing cool in the United States, and she is a leader of Fast and Female, an international group aimed at empowering young girls through sports.

I love using this. I have normal to somewhat dry skin (the dryness only happens during the winter months) and this doesn't dry my skin out. It is a clear gel, it removes makeup fairly well and and has a rather artificial fruit smell, but the smell disappears once you start rubbing it in. I find that it is very gentle and effective at what it claims to do. The packaging is also really nice, since I love typography :)

Removes dirt and makeup really well without leaving my skin feeling too tight or dry. No residual film left on my face, just a very clean smooth feeling. Helps keep my pores unclogged, when I don't use this there's definitely a noticeable change in my skin clarity. I have oily skin with a tendency to break out, this does seem to prevent my acne and does not cause any small millia around my sensitive eye area. It not super foamy, but it does the job. It's pretty straight forward - it's a very good facial cleanser for fresh clean smooth feeling skin. Also I love the sweet fragrance. EDIT 09/2014: has this been REFORMULATED?? It is WAAAY too watery for me now. I HATE to reduce my review from 5 stars to 1, but I have to unless they fix the formula back to what it was.

I really liked this cleanser. For reference I have combination skin leaning more towards the oily side. I was searching for a more affordable cleanser and decided to grab this one. The consistency was gel and it did foam up into a nice lather on the skin. The scent was sweet & fruity but I didn't find it too overpowering. I didn't find this dried my skin out at all, nor did it make it any more oily. My skin definitely felt clean after using this and helped remove all final traces of makeup. I have a love/hate relationship with the packaging. The look of it is very nice, but the product comes pouring out if you are not careful so it might be easy to waste. I would repurchase this product, however it's very hard to find in my area!

This product did not work at all for me! The smell is quite bad (like really overripe fruit) and the constistency makes it feel like im putting liquid hand soap on my face. Also this product did not help my skin at all, i was just as oily but my acne got a bit inflamed (if thats the word for it?) while using this. Will not be repurchasing.

This is easily one of the best face cleansers I have ever tried; I use it every night and it does an awesome job at removing makeup, dirt and grime :) it does take a bit of time to lather up though... I'm taking one lippie off for the packaging, it's very easy to spill/and or overuse the gel!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other

Bought this looking and hoping for a froathy face foaming cleanser, unfortunately it takes WORK to get to the foaming portion of this cleanser. Broken spirit, but not broke, I decided to keep up with the cleanser and after about two weeks worth of washing (I prefer to use it in the morning as a wake up thanks to the delicious scent), I can see a HUGE difference in my complexion! I have oily skin and this doesn't completely dry me out, it honestly feels like a layer was cleaned off and my skin doesn't feel tight or dry. Its fantastic! **I do moisturize with Olay's Active Hydrating Cream afterwards** The scent is what sold me (along with the enticingly inexpensive pricetag). Packaging was great for the gel formula, personally I like to store mine upside down to avoid leakage.. definitely something to give a shot, nothing to lose!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Straight, Other
Eyes: Green
I am really impressed with this product! Bought it because it was fairly cheap and because I wanted to try something new. Also, the packaging was quite appealing. In short: I am in love! It removes my makeup (including mascara and eyeshadow, I have yet to try removing eyeliner) so easily - no need to rub the skin! A little goes a long way and it leaves my skin soft, which is good, because my skin tends dry out. I of course use a moisturizer afterwards, but if this brand made a moisturizer too, I would definitely try it out.
I will without a doubt buy this product again.

I'm quite impressed with this cleanser and I actually really love it! First of all, it's not a foam cleanser ... it's a gel but whatever. The whole 2-3 months that I've been using this I noticed my skin has been pretty clear and I didn't really break out (except during hormonal times). I love the feeling it leaves my skin after cleansing. It just feels so clean and smooth. Plus, it smells great!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Red, Wavy, Fine

I use this firstly to remove makeup in the evening and to freshen up and remove oil if I have any in the morning. I like that it is very gentle and it can be used around the eyes. It removes all of my makeup, even my mascara and eyeliner, without the need to rub very hard. It leaves my combination skin fresh but sometimes it can start feeling a little dry, but that doesn't bother me since I always use toner and moisturizer afterwards, so it works really well with the rest of my products.
I'm not sure if this alone improves my skin or if it's together with the other things I use, but I am satisfied with this cleanser, it does its job well.
This cleanser is a gel with a sweet fruity/floral scent, very soft on the skin and it gives a nice silky foam. A little goes a long way, so the 150ml tube lasts for a good while. Nice for both wallet and skin :)

I used this product for about three weeks, I had mostly oily skin especially my forehead, and the first week I looooved it! Also I had a bit of an obsession for formula 10.0.6 because their packaging is so cute! The first week my acne went down a bit and my face glowed very beautifully. But after about three weeks my chin started to dry out so bad and stupidly I continued to use it. After some days my skin had enough and my chin and my skin around my mouth got so dry I got strange red marks all over! It really dries me out and and makes my face have a tight feeling, so it is important to use a moisturizer afterwards. I'm not using this product now after I got those red marks.. I don't really feel like using it anymore, especially when looking at the backside of the packaging and seeing all these strange chemicals which I can't even pronounce like cocamidopropyl betaine.. citric acid, sodium chloride, amonium lauryl sulfate.. is it really healthy to use all those things on your face?

Richard von Sturmer, Secretary -- firstname.lastname@example.com
Adrian Croucher -- email@example.com
Sally McAra -- email@example.com
Sensei Amala Wrightson, Spiritual Director -- firstname.lastname@example.com
AZC Trust DeedThe Auckland Zen Centre is a registered Charitable Trust (IRD #94-887-291) whose deed provides for governance by a Spiritual Director and a Board of Trustees. According to the terms of the Trust Deed, the purposes and aims of the Trust include:
Minutes of Trust Meetings are available upon request from the Secretary.
2015-2020 Strategic Plan
The Centre's Ethics and Grievance Policy is available below as a PDF. The current members of the EAR Committee are Grant George, Robin Gardner-Gee and Hamish Bartle. The alternates are Pilar Romero and John Hennebry.
Members' Meeting
Each Spring the Trustees present the Centre's Annual Financial Statements to Centre members, and Amala-Sensei reports on the year's activities. The full financial statements are available on the Accounts subpage. PDFs of Sensei's report and the Treasurer's slide presentation of the Centre's finances are also available below.
Brainstorming Session on Community
In May 2015 some of the Centre's members got together to talk about how to strengthen our Dharma community. The full record of the brainstorming is available below as a PDF file. Here is a summary:
1. In what ways can we support each other to practice at the Centre and at home and to live the Dharma throughout our day?
The two main areas that became apparent during the discussion were a) ways to support practice and b) building community. It was concluded that a survey would be the best way to check out the support for some of the suggestions that are noted below. The committee for developing the survey are Anthony Pashkov, Celestyna Galicki and Fern McRae.
Sensei will join the committee as needed and approve the survey for distribution.
2. Is there the interest in, and what could be done to create, a Sangha intentional community in proximity to the Centre?
This group looked at like-minded people living close to the Centre. It was realised that the comments made below overlapped in some places with the needs for accommodation for residential training. It was decided that a committee needed to be set up to look at both these issues together, bringing together a long-term and short-term vision.
3. How can we create and fund more short-term and long-term residential training options at the Centre?
This group discussed how residential training can be accommodated. It brought up questions around how long we want to stay at the current property, and if this location will meet all the needs we have around residential training, sesshins and retreats. As mentioned above, the decision was to form a committee that would look questions around our long-term plans, since our current Strategic plan only covers the next five years:
Committee members: Peter Christiansen, Sensei, Helen, a Trustee (TBA).

Smokies third baseman Christian Villanueva has made a career out of all-star appearances
Villanueva has All-Star status
SEVIERVILLE — Christian Villanueva has made a career out of All-Star game appearances. The 22-year-old from Guadalajara, Mexico, has already been named to four of them in his minor league career.
Villanueva will represent the Tennessee Smokies and Chicago Cubs this time in his first season in Class AA baseball.
"It's a huge honor," Villanueva said of his selction to the Southern League North Division All-Star team. "I feel privileged to represent the Tennessee Smokies and the Chicago Cubs. I'm really excited for my teammates. They deserve it too."
Villanueva came to the Cubs last season, along with Kyle Hendricks, from the Texas Rangers in the Ryan Dempster trade. The swap seems to be working out for the Cubs, as both Hendricks and Villanueva made the all-star squad.
Getting notice of the trade last season was bittersweet for the young infielder, as he had grown close to his High-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans teammates.
"I was really excited about it, but I was kind of sad," Villanueva said."I was leaving my teammates that I had spent a lot of time with. That was a really good team and I made good friends and everything was going to be different."
What was different for Villanueva was a clearer path through the levels of the organization with the Cubs. Villanueva has moved steadily up the minor league system since the Rangers signed him as a non-drafted free agent in 2008. He has never spent more than one season at a minor league level.
"Our scouts saw him (Villanueva) and liked him enough to put him into the trade with a big league player," Smokies manager Buddy Bailey said. "He could have a little bit better first-step quickness at third, but he makes all the plays."
Villanueva earned his spot on the Southern League North All-Star team. His 21 doubles is tied for first in the league, his 10 home runs are tied for seventh and his 41 RBIs are tied for eighth.
"I'm young and still learning," Villanueva said. "I've been working with the hitting coach, Desi Wilson, and put in a lot of hard work. Now I see the results."
Before the season Villanueva was ranked as the No. 8 Cubs prospect by MLB.com. The third baseman has done nothing but solidify his status in his 78 games this season coming into Thursday night.
"When he stays to the middle of the field and tries to go the other way, he's a really good hitter," Bailey said. "There are areas he needs to improve, but once he gets more discipline at the plate he has a chance to move (up in the organization) real quick."

'Mitt' will be on Netflix before Sundance is over
So, you don't have a ticket to see "Mitt," the much-talked-about documentary about Mitt Romney that's debuting at the Sundance Film Festival.
You can still see it. And you don't have to wait until after the film festival ends.
"Mitt" will be available on Netflix on Friday, Jan. 24 just six days after the world premiere.
"It's a very rare case where something world premieres at Sundance and then will be coming to the Netflix service during the course of the festival," said Lisa Nishimura, Netflix vice president of original documentary and comedy. "It's pretty exciting. We're incredibly humbled by the selection. We can't thank Sundance enough."
This won't be the Netflix team's first trip to the film festival. But "Mitt" marks the first time the online streaming service has taken a documentary it helped to produce to Sundance.
"Our traditional acquisition teams have always gone to Sundance," Nishimura said. "We have always looked to acquire content, in partnership with the different studios we've been working with.
"The shift for us is that we are now both acquiring and producing documentaries and docuseries for Netflix and presenting them on a global premiere basis across our 41 countries to our 40 million-plus subscribers."
HBO has been a major contributor to and buyer of Sundance documentaries for years. CNN has increased its presence as well the cable news channel acquired the rights to "Blackfish."
"We're incredibly proud of 'Blackfish,' as evidenced by the fact that it was just nominated for a BAFTA Award for best documentary," said CNN president Jeff Zucker. "It's on the short list for the Oscars.
"I think a lot of the networks on television that used to be an outlet for a lot of those documentaries have moved into more reality and competition-reality programming, so there was an opening for us to actually move into that space a little bit. I think that benefited us, and I think it's actually turned out to be a good thing for those documentary filmmakers as well."
CNN aired "Blackfish" repeatedly, giving the documentary the kind of exposure it never could have gotten in theaters. And that's also one of the aims of Netflix.
"I think filmmakers are really looking for two things," Nishimura said. "I think they're looking to be fairly compensated for their life's work. And I think they're looking to get the biggest possible audience that they can.
"We feel incredibly excited and quite confident that through our platform we can actually reach the broadest audience possible for these documentaries."
Sundance can get "Mitt" the buzz; Netflix can get it seen.
And the plan is that "Mitt" will be the first of many such projects to come.
"We will be on the ground at Sundance looking to acquire titles," Nishimura said. "And we're also in very deep discussions with some formidable documentarians about original productions as well. Both on the feature side as well as the docuseries side."
And Nishimura said she's excited to be going to Sundance with "Mitt." She recalled her jaw dropping when she screened it and realized that the opening scene is shot inside the room as Romney realizes he's lost the presidential election to Barack Obama.
"That level of intimate access is what's so extraordinary," Nishimura said. "You really get to see a political campaign from a vantage point that has never been expressed before.
"It's a singular film. I've never seen anything like it. I'm excited for the world to get a chance to see it."
