in our country's economic profile have required managers to rethink their priorities,
their management style and their role within their organizations.

crises, upheavals and economic strife.
Now more than ever, your success depends on your team's performance and your
ability to lead, motivate and inspire them to reach their personal best. Leading
by example, coaching, counseling, mentoring, delegation tactics, conflict resolution,
interviewing and hiring techniques if you don't excel in every single one
of these areas, your ability to manage others effectively could be in jeopardy.

best practices for becoming a more resourceful, successful manager all in

Q: My brother's wife has a mild Alzheimer's condition and is unable to handle any financial transactions. My brother is in poor health and fears if he has a stroke, etc., he will be unable to handle control of their finances. Would a "financial directive" purchased at a stationery store giving me power of attorney be legal or would it be better for him to do a living trust or will? My brother has a large estate and numerous bank CDs. What is the reality if he has a stroke or heart attack and both of them are unable to process any financial transactions?
A: Using online services or buying generic forms from a stationery store may be fine for an uncomplicated situation, says Walt Romatowski, a certified financial planner in Roseville. But since your brother has a "large estate" and "numerous" CDs, I recommend that you seek professional help from an estate-planning attorney.
To find an estate-planning attorney in your area, ask for a recommendation from family, friends, business associates, or your accountant or financial adviser. Your local probate court or state bar association also can be a source of referrals. This area of law can be complicated. Trying to save a few bucks could be an expensive mistake.
Q: For a wedding gift, I want to give my daughter and her fiance a nest egg of about $10,000. They are both 30, college-educated, with modest combined earnings of about $50,000. They have no debt and plan to have children in about three years. They are responsible about money but have no investment experience. What form should the nest egg take: CDs? A seeded mutual fund investment account? Other?
A: Gifting a $10,000 nest egg to your daughter and her fiancé as a wedding present is a great idea, says Romatowski. Not only does it give them a jump-start on savings, but it also provides an opportunity for some financial education.
If they need the funds to help buy a home in the near future or to build their emergency fund, the money should be held in a safe, liquid savings or money-market account or in CDs.
Money slated for retirement should be invested in no-load, low-cost mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the main indexes, e.g., S&P 500 (large companies), Russell 2000 (small companies), MSCI EAFE (international companies) and the Barclays Capital Aggregate (bonds).
In addition, you might want to add a subscription to Money magazine or Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine. Both are great resources for learning about investing.

Press Release

Volvo Cars' active safety system German ADAC test winner
The largest automotive organisation in world, German ADAC, has carried out an extensive comparison test of different automatic speed and distance control systems.
"ADAC has carried out a total judgment which included the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) as well as the Distance Alert and City Safety. As far as I know this is the first time a test evaluates the total effect of those safety enhancing functions," says Jonas Ekmark, Active Safety Hub Leader at Volvo Cars.
In the report of the ADAC test is said: "the Volvo system scores above all due to the fact that it consistently puts its emphasis on accident avoidance. The driver is informed about a danger by a red flashing warning lamp, which is projected onto the windscreen. At low speeds, below 30 km/h, the additional, integrated laser technology called City Safety also recognises stationary vehicles and in a potential accident situation, brakes in time to stop the car."
"Our promise - best possible safety"
The exceptional position of City Safety is underlined by the fact that this system is not only unique in the whole world, but it is also in mass production in the current Volvo XC60.
ADAC underlines another characteristic of the Volvo active speed and distance control system: "even with the ACC switched off, the driver is efficiently but not disturbingly warned, if below the safety distance.
ACC in all-new S60 - plus a world first function
On top of the ACC system, the all-new S60 has a world-first function; Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake - a system that brakes automatically for pedestrians and can avoid a collision at speeds up to 35 kph. The all-new S60 includes City Safety, as the XC60, as a standard feature.
The other cars in the ADAC comparison test were Audi A4, Volkswagen Passat CC, Honda Accord, Lexus IS and Ford Mondeo.
ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club) is the world's largest automotive association with some 16 million members.

Forums > Gaming forum > War-Z take down by Steam
A zombie-themed video game has been removed from the Steam online store after a series of player complaints.
Gamers complained on Steam chat forums that The War Z lacked features promised in promotional material.
They also complained about changes that let players pay to return to the game quicker after being killed by zombies.
Steam-operator Valve said it had been a "mistake" to put War Z on sale and offered full refunds.
Interesting - sounds like they need me to vet these games before they get onto Steam

Together for Justice: 2012 International Gathering
August 13-15, 2012
Catholic Theological Union
Chicago, IL
Free Trade and the Erosion of Sovereignty
Led by Manuel Perez Rocha from Institute for Policy Studies
The investment rules within Free Trade Agreements, such as NAFTA and CAFTA, and thousands of Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) have been written to favor the interests of corporations and maximize their profits, undermining the sovereignty of nation states' and their peoples, thus infringing upon the ability of nation states to develop and implement responsible public policy in favor of the environment and human rights. There is a growing trend, especially in Latin America, where corporations are suing nation states in closed-door and unaccountable international tribunals for designing and applying responsible public policy that responds to the demands of the population for protections from the harmful environmental effects from industries such as the oil, gas and mining industries. Conference participants learned about what efforts are being waged, from the grassroots to experts in solidarity to restore a balance in investment rules, and how several countries are responding to this challenge.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---Another of Augusta's historic mills is getting a serious facelift.
Sutherland Mill, right next to the Enterprise Mill on Greene Street near downtown Augusta, was sold last Monday (March 12) to a local developer.
Clay Boardman purchased the property in a joint venture with a Savannah company. They are renovating the mill, making the building eco-friendly. That means they'll use recaptured rain water for landscaping and use natural light wherever possible, among other things.
The St. Sebastian Way extension will pass directly in front of the building and connect Sutherland with the medical complex and Reynolds Street.

The Boston based record label Run For Cover Records have announced they will be releasing the debut EP from the Long Island indie rockers Coasta. The label plans to release the bands five song EP on vinyl later this summer.
Coasta is described by their new label as a band that "craft brooding, atmospheric pop-rock songs akin to Nada Surf", a comparison I'm sure the band does not mind. Take a listen to the bands track "Young Blood" past the jump and comment with your thoughts on the new signing. Be sure to keep an eye on this band, as they are sure to have a busy and exciting few months ahead of them.

Australia's Red Cross is reviewing possible changes for blood donors
Timothy Kincaid
April 12th, 2010
From the Sydney Morning Herald
Australia's Red Cross Blood service will review its policy which prevents many homosexual men from donating blood.
Currently, a man who has had homosexual sex within the past 12 months is excluded from being an eligible blood donor.
I just hope the FDA is paying attention. Australia already has much more lenient policies than the US and instead of observing problems, they are considering further revisions.

Neon tetra fragility?
I bought six neon tetras last Friday and they were dead by Sunday.
It was freezing outside, so I had them put in a second bag, blew air in it and tied it off. Then I put my gloves in the shopping bag and the fish bag between them. I wrapped that up and tied it tight. Then I put that inside another shopping bag.
When I went home, I put the fish bag in a big bowl and poured water from my tank around it, a little at a time. After 30 minutes, I started adding little amounts of my tank water into the fish bag. After an hour, I netted them carefully into the tank. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but they all died. Are they that fragile?
we need more information, expessially whether or not the tank was cycled or not
From the sounds of your other post, you tried to cycle the tank with guppies and tetras--quite a few if I remember correctly. Tetras are sensitive to water quality, they are not usually a recommended fish to cycle with. I think you tried to cycle the tank with too many fish, did you do water changes? Tank size, stats, and more exact information will help a lot.
Ok, I understand now (sorry). So you cycled the tank with guppies and then added tetras and more guppies and the tetras died. Here is I believe what happened--the tank was barely cycled when you added the tetras, with that many fish in your tank it was considered over-stocked, that combined with the sudden adding of fish led to an ammonia spike which killed the fish. Six gallons is quite little, you are at or above capacity with 6 guppies :)

A roundup of business news from the past week
Payrolls growth slows as jobless rate falls
Employers added fewer workers than forecast last month even as the U.S. jobless rate fell — from 7.6 percent to a 41/2-year low of 7.4 percent — showing uneven labor-market gains as the world's largest economy struggles to gain momentum.
Payrolls rose by 162,000, the least in four months. Most of the growth came in lower-paying industries or part-time work. The workweek shrank, and hourly earnings fell for the first time since October.
Local agriculture is reaping growth
The value of San Diego County's agriculture industry grew by 4 percent in 2012 to $1.75 billion, and for the first time since 2008 the number of acres farmed in the county has increased.
As has been the case for a number of years, the 2012 crop report showed nursery and cut-flower products account for the majority of the region's agricultural output, followed by avocados.
ResMed breaks earnings records
Riding a wave of concern about some of the world's most costly and deadly diseases, medical product maker ResMed reported record earnings and revenue for the quarter and year ended June 30.
The San Diego biotech's annual net income was $307 million, or $2.10 per share, up 21 percent from the previous year. Revenue rose 11 percent to $1.5 billion, also a record. For the quarter, ResMed recorded revenue of $414.6 million, 11 percent more than the year-ago quarter.
Film Commission closes after decades
From "Anchorman" and "Veronica Mars" to "Top Gun" and "American Idol," San Diego's Film Commission likes to boast it has brought a little slice of Hollywood to San Diego over the years, not to mention millions of dollars in economic activity.
But the 38-year-old operation closed down, a casualty of a huge cut in tourism funding revenues.
Double-digit rise seen again in home prices
San Diego home prices are lingering at a five-year high as other major U.S. metro areas also are seeing rapid price gains and record numbers, the latest S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index shows.
Local values rose 17 percent in May from a year ago, which sends prices to April 2008 levels. May's recording marks the fourth consecutive month of double-digit annual percentage increases for San Diego County.

Calista's monthly call in show was held on Friday the 13th, it was just a ½ hour long but packed with a lot of information for the 12-thousand shareholders Calista represents. The show was entirely in Yup'ik with President Andrew Guy, Chairman Willie Kassayulie, and Board Member John Angiak. With a re-cap on what was discussed, Sophie Evan reports.
The half hour long show started out with formal introductions followed by a plea to shareholders to mail in their proxy forms before September 26th, in order to have a quorum and to be eligible for cash prizes, at the 2013 annual shareholders meeting.
President Guy says they included translated instructions for the Yup'ik shareholders who asked that the proxy process be easier to understand.
Guy added that ballots will be available for shareholders who walk-in, but that those who use the ballot to vote, will not be eligible for the cash prizes, only door prizes.
A caller asked if it was true that Calista is paying out about 10-million dollars a year in various Federal and State taxes. Guy said with subsidiaries in 26 states, it is true; Calista pays out on average 10-million dollars a year in Federal and State taxes. Guy says Calista has hired a tax attorney to go through the one thousand pages of the Federal tax code in order to bring the tax payments down.
Another caller expressed gratitude for Calista responding to the shareholders for open communication, and asked whether or not more access, like teleconferencing into a Board meeting, or live streaming on the net, will be possible in the future.
Chairman Kassayulie responded by saying that their I-T department is currently testing their teleconference and live streaming capabilities with the board of directors now. And added that this is the direction they're heading, in order to connect with subsidiaries in the lower 48, and shareholders all over the Y-K delta and world.
As the half hour came to a close another caller asked when Calista and the Yup'ik tribes are going to work together in order to create a powerful Yup'ik political, economic, and social world. That was left unanswered and may be the next topic for another Calista show.
The next show is scheduled for September 20th at 11 a-m. For KYUK news, I'm Sophie Evan.

And the one that matters the most
Only for the most extreme circumstances
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
We are maintaining a Neutral rating on
Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.
), reflecting its large, diversified oil and gas asset base,
capital investment plans and healthy financial position, partially
offset by volatile oil and gas fundamentals.
Calgary, Alberta-based Canadian Natural is engaged in the
acquisition, development and exploitation of crude oil and natural
gas properties. It is one of the largest independent exploration
and production companies in Canada, with extensive heavy crude oil
and natural gas developments.
As of the end of 2011, the company had approximately 4.83
billion oil-equivalent barrels (BBOE) in total proved reserves, of
which approximately 85% was crude oil/liquids and 15% natural gas.
In addition, Canadian Natural had approximately 2.12 billion
barrels in total proved reserves in its oil sands (naturally
occurring mixtures of bitumen water and sand) operations in the
Province of Alberta.
The company exhibits a broad portfolio of low-risk exploration
and development projects that yield long-term volume growth at
above-average rates. We appreciate the company's diverse asset base
both geographically and in terms of products, with the bulk of
production located in various countries.
Canadian Natural has invested a significant amount of capital in
oily projects to boost production. The company expects light oil
and natural gas and liquids in Canada to grow 17%, primary heavy
oil to increase 16% and thermal in situ heavy oil to expand 10% in
2012. We believe that extensive drilling activities, development
works at Primrose unit and advanced technological applications will
aid the company in accomplishing the set goal.
However, our optimism is somewhat clouded by the company's weak
performance in the last three months of 2011, hurt by lower volumes
in North Sea and Offshore Africa, lower realized natural gas prices
and steeper production costs.
Additionally, Canadian Natural pursues long-term oil projects,
which call for large capital outlays and several years of
development before any cash flow is realized. Therefore,cost and
time overrun in the company's ongoing projects have a negative
impact on the stock's performance.
The company's results in the coming months are directly exposed
to the oil and gas prices, which are inherently volatile and
subject to complex market forces. Realized prices could differ
significantly from our estimates, thereby affecting the company's
revenues, earnings and cash flow.
Canadian Natural, which competes with other Canadian behemoths
EnCana Corp.
) and
Suncor Energy Inc.
), currently, retains a Zacks #3 Rank that translates into a
short-term Hold rating.

Paid Protesters Heckle Romney?
It's more likely than you think. According to at least some of the anti-Romney protesters out there, the phrase rent-a-mob is a bit more spot on than the President's campaign is willing to admit. Buzzfeed has more…
DeWitt, Mich. — The protesters popping up at Mitt Romney's rallies throughout Michigan Tuesday look like run-of-the-mill grassroots liberals — they wave signs about "the 99 percent," they chant about the Republican's greed, and they describe themselves as a loosely organized coalition of "concerned citizens."
They're also getting paid, two of the protesters and an Obama campaign official told BuzzFeed.
At the candidate's afternoon stop outside a bakery in DeWitt, a group of about 15 protesters stood behind a police barricade, a few of them chanting in support of Obama. Asked why he was protesting, a man dressed in a grim reaper costume pointed a reporter to a pair of "designated representatives" standing in the shade.
"I can't talk, you gotta get one of those people over there to talk to y'all," he said. "They're the ones who can talk to reporters."
Neither of the representatives agreed to give their names, but two protesters said they were getting paid to stand outside of the rally, though their wage is unclear: one said she was getting $7.25 per hour, while another man said they were being paid $17 per hour.
The story does go on to note that the nearby official Democrat protest claimed that the paid protesters were with an organized labor group, "Good Jobs Now."
Come to think of it, I wonder is $7.25 represents a "living wage?"
And, after Wisconsin, can the union bosses only afford a paltry 15 protesters. Times must be tough, I guess.

Todd Duffee vs Phil De Fries At UFC 155 On Dec. 29 In Las Vegas
The 26-year-old Duffee is set to meet Philip De Fries on the preliminary portion of the UFC 155 fight card on New Year's weekend.
Phil De Fries was left without an opponent for UFC 155 after his original opponent, Matt Mitrione, was pulled from the event to fight Roy Nelson at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale.
Todd Duffee (7-2) was released from the UFC in 2010 after UFC President Dana White said he didn't like Duffee's attitude. Since his release, the Indiana native has compiled a 1-1 record with the lone win coming against Neil Grove last April.
Phil De Fries (9-1, 1 NC) is coming off a second-round submission of Oli Thompson at UFC on FOX 4 last August. The 26-year-old has won two of three fights in the Octagon and will try to string together consecutive wins for the first time in his UFC career.
UFC 155: 'Dos Santos vs. Velasquez II' goes down Dec. 29, 2012 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Last night, after 3.5 mos of going over there and openly nursing my daughter in front of my family, my sis asks me if she can give me a receiving blanket when I'm over there to cover up.
For starters, she knows I have a cover. Blankets don't really work, and the cover is awkward. I'm really trying to not get into a pissing match with her. Frankly, she's disgusting, she doesn't take care of her LO, she didn't want her LO to begin with and didn't really want to keep her, and my mom complains about her. She doesn't bathe or wash her clothes, my mom threatened to fine her if she didn't bathe her LO.
Anyways (since I'm starting to get in a pissing match frame of mind,) I sent her this text this morning because it continues to bother me what she asked last night:
I've tried to stop thinking about this and let it slide, but I can't. It was eating away at me last night an continues to eat at me.
Yes, I would mind if you have me a receiving blanket while I am over there. I actually mind terribly.
I'm sorry that the way I feed my child apparently makes you uncomfortable. Just as your daughter has a right to eat anywhere, and you do too, so does mine. You are not asked to adjust your eating habits for other people's comfort, and I am offended that my daughter should have to adjust hers.
When we do try to use a cover, trying to get her to eat is much more cumbersome, resulting in her crying more, being distracted, and often almost taking the cover off. It is also difficult to fully see her and make sure she has a proper latch and continues to stay latched.
Have you ever tried covering your daughter when she eats? Have you ever tried eating under a blanket? Even a thin breathable fabric can feel suffocating.
Additionally, I find it offensive that you would ask when most of the time, you show more skin than I do when Georgia is eating. I don't fully undress for her to eat, and when she's done, I cover back up. However, the tank tops you wear tend to be skimpy and show quite a bit of skin.
Again, I'm sorry this apparently offends you. You asking me to cover up, especially after all this time, offends me and makes me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.
From now on, I will keep my visits limited so my daughter can eat as comfortably and freely as yours.

The 1960s continue to be the subject of passionate debate and political controversy, a touchstone in struggles over the meaning of the American past and the direction of the American future. Amid the polemics and the myths, making sense of the Sixties and its legacies presents a challenge. This book is for all those who want to take it on. Because there are so many facets to this unique and transformative era, this volume offers multiple approaches and perspectives.
The first section gives a lively narrative overview of the decade's major policies, events, and cultural changes. The second presents ten original interpretative essays from prominent historians about significant and controversial issues from the Vietnam War to the sexual revolution, followed by a concise encyclopedia articles organized alphabetically. This section could stand as a reference work in itself and serves to supplement the narrative. Subsequent sections include short topical essays, special subjects, a brief chronology, and finally an extensive annotated bibliography with ample information on books, films, and electronic resources for further exploration.
With interesting facts, statistics, and comparisons presented in almanac style as well as the expertise of prominent scholars, The Columbia Guide to America in the 1960s is the most complete guide to an enduringly fascinating era.
"An accessible, state-of-the-art overview of the turbulent Sixties. Part narrative history and interpretation, part almanac, chronology, and glossary, the book offers an introspective yet entertaining investigation for those who remember the age as well as for those just being introduced to it." — Karl Helicher, Library Journal
"This book is a fine addition to any library's collection, so good that faculty may want their students to purchase a copy. If other volumes in the series are half so impressive, libraries may want the series on standing order." — Choice
"It's hard to imagine a more useful multi-function library resource than this latest entry in the Columbia Guide series... everyone from 'the Greatest Generation'to that generation's great-grandchildren can learn something here." — Booklist
"There are many books written about the United States during the 1960s; none are quite like this one.The Columbia Guide to America in the 1960s is a multi-purpose book." — Jennifer Clark, Australasian Journal of American Studies

If Professor Hubert Farnsworth's "Smell-O-Scope" actually existed, astrobiologists would have pointed it at dozens of alien planets by now.
The Professor's odor-detecting invention, which was featured in several episodes of the animated sci-fi series "Futurama," would be a good life-hunting tool, researchers say, because alien organisms may betray their presence by pumping stinky chemicals into their home planets' skies.
GALLERY: The Most Horrific Alien Planets In Our Galaxy
"I joke often that maybe you want to smell for life on other planets instead of look for it with a telescope," Shawn Domagal-Goldman, a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said last month during a NASA panel discussion about ancient Earth and habitable exoplanets. [10 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life]
Hunting for Biosignatures
Domagal-Goldman and other researchers spend a lot of time thinking about the best biosignatures, or signs of life, to look for in the atmospheres of faraway planets.
Two good candidates are oxygen and methane, both of which disappear from atmospheres without replenishment. While each substance can be created by geological as well as biological processes, detecting both oxygen and methane in an exoplanet's skies simultaneously would be strongly suggestive of alien life, many scientists say.
"They destroy each other," Domagal-Goldman said. "If they're both there together, you know someone is bringing the methane in an atmosphere rich in oxygen, so that's what you're looking for. The most likely explanation is, it's life that's bringing the methane and oxygen to the party."
NEWS: Extreme Earth Life Can Aid Search for Alien Lifeforms
The methane-oxygen strategy is informed by the biosignatures that currently swirl in Earth's skies: Plants and cyanobacteria generate oxygen, while many other types of bacteria, as well as animals, pump out methane.
But a comprehensive hunt for alien biosignatures should also look deeper into Earth's biological history, drawing further inspiration from the planet's pioneering first organisms, Domagal-Goldman stressed.
Different Worlds
Life first appeared on Earth perhaps 3.7 billion years ago and had become indisputably established by 3.5 billion years ago, scientists say. It took a long, long time, however, for the biosphere we're familiar with today to take shape.
Simple microbial life dominated the planet for billions of years, with complex multicellular forms getting a firm foothold just 800 million years ago or so. And while oxygen-producing cyanobacteria may have evolved as early as 3 billion years ago, oxygen apparently didn't start accumulating in the planet's atmosphere until 2.3 billion years ago or so, said Tim Lyons of the University of California-Riverside, who also participated in the NASA panel discussion last month.


text: Hello, It seems that the new Ipython debugger is not compatible with the ipython.el/python-mode.el(4.75) on Xemacs 21.4.17 (on Debian Testing). Inside ipdb the completion failed to work (work flawlessly outside Xemacs) and pdbtrack failed to recognize the ipdb prompt and the traceback lines. I somehow managed to make pdbtrack work by modifying the prompt (it was waiting for a (Pdb)> and I changed it to ipdb>) and by modifying the 'format-stack-entry' in Debugger.py (just copy/paste what was in pdb.py in the Python distribution). There was of course no problem with Ipython 6.5.3 since it used the regular Pdb... But I don't have a clue about the ipdb completion in Xemacs... Thanks in advance,

Longtime Missouri congressman Harold Volkmer dies
Monday, April 18, 2011
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Harold L. Volkmer, a 20-year Democratic congressman from northeast Missouri known for his advocacy of the rights of gun owners, has died. He was 80.
Volkmer died Saturday at a Hannibal nursing home after several bouts of pneumonia, according to the James O'Donnell Funeral Home in Hannibal.
"He was just a wonderful man," Mary Ann Viorel, Marion County collector, said Monday. She was the wife of the late Lee Viorel, who was Volkmer's congressional campaign manager and district administrator. "I greatly admired his moral values, and that's what he based all of his government actions on."
Volkmer was born in Jefferson City. After a stint in the Army and graduation from the University of Missouri School of Law, he moved to Marion County, first to Palmyra and then to Hannibal. He was elected county prosecutor in 1960 and served in that role until his election to the Missouri House in 1966.
In 1976, Volkmer won election to Congress for the 9th District after veteran lawmaker William Hungate retired. Volkmer served on several committees, including Judiciary, Agriculture, and Science and Technology. He chaired the Space Subcommittee when the space station was launched, and for many years chaired the Agriculture Subcommittee on Small Farms and Forests.
But he earned a reputation in Congress for his unwavering support of gun rights — often in contrast to leaders of his own party. He sponsored the landmark Firearm Owners Protection Act in 1986 that became known as the Volkmer-McClure Act, which reduced federal restrictions on interstate sale of long guns and ammunition. The Senate co-sponsor, Republican James A. McClure of Idaho, died in February.
After leaving Congress, Volkmer was elected to the National Rifle Association Board of Directors and held that role for 12 years, until 2009. He remained on the NRA Executive Council until his death.
Volkmer was also instrumental in passage of legislation widening U.S. 61 to four lanes, and funding for a flood levee to protect Hannibal's downtown that includes the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum. The levee was completed just months before the Great Flood of 1993. He also played an important role in the passage of the Flood Relocation Act, which provided federal money to move people and, in some cases, entire communities out of the flood plain.
"Harold Volkmer was a man of great passion whose dedication to public service and to the people of the 9th District serve as an example to me of how to be an effective member of Congress," current 9th District Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, a Republican, said. "Harold was both a statesmen and gentleman, and will be sorely missed by the people of the 9th District."
Sen. Roy Blunt, a Republican who served with Volkmer in the House, called him a "dedicated public servant and a proud Missourian." Former U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Lexington, who attended law school with Volkmer, served in the state Legislature with him, and entered Congress the same year.
"Harold was an excellent legislator — no detail got by him, and he was an extremely hard worker and served his constituents 24-7, and that makes him a tremendous credit to Missouri," Skelton said.
Volkmer's wife, Shirley, died in 1995, and in 1996, he lost his re-election bid to Republican Kenny Hulshof.
Volkmer married Dian Poole Sprenger in 1997 and she survives, along with three children, four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
A rosary service will be at 4:30 p.m. Today at the O'Donnell Funeral Home in Hannibal, followed by visitation from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. A funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Holy Family Catholic Church in Hannibal, with burial at the church cemetery.

Thanks to vaccines, most U.S. children are protected against serious diseases such as measles, mumps, diphtheria, polio, and chickenpox. But what happens to that protection when a child becomes a teen? A teen who missed a vaccine or booster as a child may need to be immunized. Learn more about which vaccines teens need by taking this quiz.
The CDC, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) jointly issue a child and teen vaccine schedule each year. Then the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) reviews the schedule to make sure it agrees with new vaccine developments and policies. ACIP then publishes it each year. Before a vaccine can become part of routine medical practice, 3 things must happen:

A rather suspect SEO paywall trick is to allow web spiders from search engines to see all content but lock the content behind a paywall for all other visitors.
For example:
As this unfairly advantages dishonest websites over honest websites in search results, why doesn't Google either:
- Mention that a website is behind a paywall; or
- Demote the website's search ranking by some sizable margin?
Given the skill of Google engineers, it would be trivial for Google to act as a normal visitor and check for selective paywalls.

Technology & Ministry
Already creatively employing many of the latest technological advances to expand options for ministerial students and to deliver educational resources across the wider community of Friends, Earlham School of Religion now needs to build endowment as ongoing support for these groundbreaking programs.
This proposal seeks $1,500,000 to endow the Technology and Ministry Initiative at Earlham School of Religion. The endowment will meet these critical needs:
- A solid financial basis to support technology costs associated with the school's distance education program, ESR Access.
- Funds for expanding the Digital Quaker Collection.
- Support for ESR Publications.
- Ongoing support for technological exploration befitting ESR's leadership role and mission.
A donor who funds this endowment in full will have the option of naming the program.
A mere fifteen years ago, most American households did not include a personal computer. Today some research estimates that in 70 percent of our country's homes, people are clicking away at computer keyboards. In every business and industry, the use of technology has burgeoned. Earlham School of Religion—thanks to philanthropic help and to its own resourcefulness—is finding more and more ways to bring technology into the service of Friends.
In 1998 many graduate seminaries received grants from the Lilly Endowment, specifically supporting Information Technology for Theological Teaching. ESR, one of those early beneficiaries of Lilly's visionary philanthropy, immediately began to explore technology's usefulness in preparing persons for ministry.
With its initial grant, ESR dreamed of replacing the outdated computer systems used by faculty. The school's people envisioned professors exploring new teaching technologies, and classrooms wired to accommodate new teaching styles. We turned these visions into reality—and also accomplished much, much more. The same year we received the grant, 1998, ESR conducted a national consultation with Friends to receive input as the school prepared for its next generation of ministry. That consultation, which yielded widely and deeply, also generated this emphatic request: Give us greater accessibility to ESR's educational resources.
In response we began to refine our vision for ways the school can assert leadership in providing Friends with both education and service. ESR soon launched several exciting new endeavors:
Redefining the Classroom: ESR Access
The request for accessibility prompted the creation of a distance learning program, known as ESR Access. This program, redrawing the boundaries of the classroom, enables students from around the world to prepare for ministry and earn graduate degrees without relocating to Richmond, Indiana.
Befriending technological advances, the school designed pedagogically appropriate classes and promptly offered them via the Internet. Currently ESR Access combines Internet courses with two-week courses in Richmond, creating degree-earning curricula for both the Master of Divinity and the Master of Arts. With this combination we have extended the school's service to Friends and also have attracted additional students by easing several previous difficulties:
- ESR has become much more family-friendly. Many of today's seminarians are older than typical graduate students, and they must consider family responsibilities. Often the prospect of relocating a working spouse or school-aged children hinders the decision to enter seminary. Through ESR Access, Earlham School of Religion spares families the challenges of relocation, while continuing to increase the school's overall enrollment.
- Students may continue in their current ministries. Some prospective students, understandably, are already involved in ministry, which their relocation to Richmond would curtail. ESR Access, delivering courses directly to the home, allows that ministry to continue without interruption. Meetings, churches, and other ministry settings benefit from our distance learning students' personal and professional growth.
- Students grow within the context of their ministry setting. Inevitably, education changes people. Rather than leaving their ministry setting, immersing themselves in educational preparation elsewhere, and then facing the challenge of re-integration, ESR Access students remain anchored in their place of service while undergoing gradual growth and change. Neither the student nor the setting experiences a jarring transition.
ESR Access has proved to be an effective means of educating persons for ministry and has attracted students from across the U.S. as well as from Europe and Africa. In five short years, our online student enrollment has grown to fifty students, currently representing 50 percent of ESR's total student body. Through the prudent use of technology, Earlham School of Religion has honored its mission by extending the reach—and the draw—of its educational programs.
Reclaiming the Wisdom of Rare Texts: the Digital Quaker Collection
Early Friends, sharing the Gospel and speaking to that of God in every person, often became prolific writers. Their epistles, journals, and tracts contain rich wisdom regarding Friends' spiritual insights. Unfortunately, most of these 17th- and 18th-century works are now out of print, available only in the archives of a few college libraries. This reduced availability carries a regrettable consequence: Friends in general lose contact with important witnesses to the way members of our tradition understand the life of faith.
Responding to this condition, ESR sought—and won—a grant of $150,000 from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation to create a digital database of historic Quaker writings. Over 60,000 pages from 500 works are now available online in a free, searchable database (http://esr.earlham.edu/dqc/). Writings from familiar names such as George Fox and Caroline Stephens, as well as from lesser-known writers such as Dorothy White and Abel Bond, are now easy to access and to read. The website draws several hundred visits each month and has received favorable review:
The Earlham School of Religion, a graduate theological school for the Society of Friends (Quakers), has provided access to a wealth of journals, letters, and monographs at this site. The selected documents detail Quaker theology, spirituality, history, and practice since the inception of the religion in the mid-17th century.
Earlham's purpose in providing access to these texts is to support Quaker scholarship for its distance education students and to provide a resource for local congregations. The resulting collection from a variety of Quaker authors consists of over 500 volumes considered to be in the public domain. Prominent Quaker figures such as George Fox and William Penn are well represented, but the collection also includes numerous authors of lesser prominence.
Each text was scanned and encoded in XML, which allows the scholar to view individual volumes in their original format with original spelling. Additionally, texts are available in a plain-text format. Users can browse the collection by author or title, but the real value stems from the availability of outstanding search capabilities. Scholars are able to search using Boolean or proximity operators, the index, and biblical references. Each search can be limited by place of publication, date, author, or gender of author. This major contribution to Quaker scholarship is a must for all levels of researchers.
Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through faculty/researchers; general readers. –R. Watts, University of South Carolina—Aiken
In undertaking this project, ESR has performed a large and loving service to Friends in particular as well as to students, researchers, and history enthusiasts in general. Many additional documents are waiting to be added to the Digital Quaker Collection. With further funding, the school can continue this valuable, far-reaching work.
Stewarding the Written Word: ESR Publications
Technology has changed forever the world of publishing. With the proliferation of electronic texts, publishers are facing greater challenges to their own profitability; their choice of which manuscripts to accept or reject may become a question of economics rather than of quality. There's also good news, however: technology has made possible Print-On-Demand publishing, and ESR staff members have the skills to take advantage of it. The school can now serve its constituents by providing books of interest and value to Friends—and without tying up large amounts of capital in book inventory.
To date, ESR has released three titles:
Twenty-First Century Penn (2004). ESR alumnus Paul Buckley offers in modern English translation five important texts of William Penn, along with extensive footnotes that help illuminate Penn's meaning.
Where the Wind Blows (2005). Why do some Quaker groups thrive, while others dwindle? Jay Marshall delivers details and insights from an ESR study of vitality among nine Friends meetings and churches.
The Quaker Bible Reader (2006). In this collection of essays edited by Stephen Angell and Paul Buckley, thirteen Friends describe how they read and use the Bible as a resource for their faith.
Through this fledgling, cost-effective publishing effort—putting affordable resources into the hands of our constituents—Earlham School of Religion pursues yet another innovative means of serving as an educational force and a source of renewal to Friends.
Learning and Leading Among Friends: Technological Advances
Distance education, the digital database, electronic publishing: thanks to supportive gifts, all of these projects are reaching out to engage both Friends and friends worldwide. They're also reinforcing ESR's role as a leader within the Association of Theological Schools.
The quality and extent of our distance education program alone sets Earlham School of Religion apart; the website of ATS—whose membership includes 252 Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox graduate schools of theology—lists relatively few accredited distance programs. Anecdotal feedback tells us the same story. Messages of gratitude and respect come to us from many prospective students, such as the one who recently wrote these words: " I learned of your school through another pastor in our Bowling Green, Kentucky, district. It has been a joy to learn of our ESR Access ways at Earlham. I suspect you're the national leader at making M. Div. degrees workable for busy pastors and professionals."
As video and audio formats become increasingly accessible, ESR is furthering that leadership by investigating distinctive ways of employing today's high-speed technology. Many large institutions, using internet video transmission, now "broadcast" lectures to students in different physical locations. ESR, however, "intends to be a community of dialogue, where important theological and ministry matters are considered in the light of Christ"—a mission that recently has led us to examine, for instance, the potential of video conferencing. Through this technology two people (or members of a small group), whether separated by a room or even by a continent, can engage in a private "video phone call." Face-to-face interaction, a cornerstone of ESR's programs and pedagogy, remains a constant in our plans for technological advancement.
All such planning—along with the thorough exploration that precedes it, and the implementation that follows—requires people, time, and support. And the outcome of such investment enables exactly what Earlham School of Religion does best: vital, transformative education.
The Point: Technology for Ministry
These days, most fund raising includes more than a nod to technology-related needs. Expensive equipment rapidly becomes dated; institutions and organizations feel pressure to "keep up," to appear as savvy as their competitors and constituents. Earlham School of Religion acts—and asks—from a somewhat different motive.
Our Endowed Technology and Ministry Initiative contains a distinctive word: ministry. For the sake of ministry, ESR was founded; for the needs of ministry, we solicit assistance. Our carefully planned partnerships with technology, each stoutly anchored in the school's mission, support our founding goal of offering leadership, resources, and renewal among the larger body of Friends. Throughout the designing of these programs, ever aware of our constituents, we've continued to ask ourselves not only How can technology serve Friends? and How can technology serve our school's mission? but also How well are we meeting real needs of individual people?
Funding dedicated to this initiative goes directly into sustaining the already successful programs described above. For all of them, the need is daily and ongoing. At Earlham School of Religion, we are working every day for one main purpose: to help people live in faith. And from our own faith, we know that some people will be moved to help us.
Queries for Consideration
These queries are provided to help you prayerfully consider whether this major gift proposal is a priority for you as you steward your resources.
- Do you think Friends stand to benefit by using technology in appropriate ways?
- Can you envision the value to Friends as ESR expands the boundaries of its classroom and community through distance education, workshops, and printed materials?
- Do you have the means to help Earlham School of Religion build an endowment to support the Endowed Technology and Ministry Initiative at ESR?
- What level of gift are you able to make to manifest this vision for ESR's Technology and Ministry Initiative?
- Full funding of $1,500,000 by gift, pledge, or irrevocable estate gift?
- Partial but major gift of $100,000 to $1,000,000 by gift, pledge, or irrevocable estate gift?
- Supporting gift of $10,000 to $99,000 by gift or pledge?
Contact Jay Marshall, Dean, at Earlham School of Religion to discuss your interest in this project.

Chris Lee
In our weekly "Six-Pack" feature, we asked GatorBait.net's Keith Niebuhr six key questions about the Florida Gators as they prepare to travel to Nashville to face Vanderbilt on Saturday.1. Florida is used to playing for national titles, but now, it's November and the Gators are unranked. UF also came off an emotional win over arch-rival Georgia on Saturday. On the other side, Vandy is struggling to pose a challenge to quality opponents, and will play before a crowd that's quickly losing interest. It's a game that the Gators know they should win, so, what's the motivational outlook for Florida for Saturday?Florida stopped worrying about the national title after its loss to LSU and instead turned its attention to the SEC eastern division.
