Abraham at the Oaks of Ancient Mamre
Trayvon Martin & George Zimmerman on the Streets of Contemporary Florida
By Msgr. Kevin Sullivan
How often an ancient Biblical story resonates with a contemporary real life one! This is the case with the story of Abraham's encounter with three strangers by the oaks of Mamre and the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman.
On a hot day thousands of years ago, three strangers appeared near oak trees outside the tent of Abraham.
In Abraham's surprise encounter, he moved toward rather than away from the strangers. He bathed their feet, brought them a meal of fine rolls and choice meat.
In turn, the strangers, after receiving Abraham's hospitality, revealed that God's promise would be fulfilled. They announced that Abraham and his wife, Sarah, at an advanced age would give birth to new life. And they promised that by the next year Sarah would have a son.
A speculative question: Had Abraham not welcomed these strangers, would God's promise have been fulfilled in this way?
Let us move forward more than a few millennia to the contemporary encounter between two strangers in Florida. Instead of welcoming, hospitality, and dialogue there was mistrust, fighting and killing. Instead of new life there was death.
Many issues surround this tragedy. They include guns, vigilantism and neighborhood crime. But our society, with good reason, has focused on the issue of race.
Fifty years ago this summer, President John F. Kennedy sent a historic Civil Rights Bill to Congress, noting that "the time has come…in making it clear to all that race has no place in American life or law." Sadly, even though the bill became law its promise and hope remains unfulfilled.
Fifty years ago this summer, Dr. Martin Luther King gave his inspiring "I Have a Dream" speech, saying that "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Yet today, fifty years later, although much progress has been made, many issues involving race and strangers remain unresolved. Their resolution cannot be left unattended.
Our core Catholic Christian belief is that every person is made in God's image and likeness: black, white, yellow or brown; rich or poor; male or female.
As a Church community that comes together to hear God's word, to praise his name and receive his Body and Blood in Communion, we reflect upon our responsibilities as a community of faith and as faith-filled individuals to welcome the stranger, even, and perhaps especially, strangers of different races and ethnicities.
We are not a Church focused only on Sunday worship and decorated sanctuaries. Similar to our Savior, we live enmeshed in an imperfect, messy world as we journey to God's kingdom.
Our values, actions and institutions can make this world more compassionate and just if we commit ourselves to doing so.
Bearing in mind the tragic deadly end when strangers met in Florida and the living-giving end when strangers met at Mamre, let us ask ourselves a few questions:
What attitudes about race and ethnicity do I harbor that cause divisions?
What actions and activities do I engage in that divide?
What do I do to build bridges between strangers and loved ones alike?
In My Family,
How do I foster greater appreciation for the stranger and the stranger's talents and gifts?
How do I create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all?
How do I buffer my family from negative counsel and experiences?
What do the institutions with which I am associated do to divide us from one another?
What do they do to reconcile us?
What do I do to foster institutional decisions that reconcile, decrease inequality and create more opportunity and openness?
There are no simple answers to these questions. Yet this is no excuse for allowing complex issues to paralyze us or prevent action by individuals and communities.
In the encounter by the Oaks of Mamre, strangers were welcomed and received; the promise of new life was announced and fulfilled.
In the encounter in Florida, a stranger was neither welcomed nor received. Instead, mistrust, killing and death ensued.
The prophets told Israel:
"I put before you life and death – and then direct: Choose life that you and your children might."
Abraham's example provides us with a similar lesson:
"Welcome the stranger – that both of you may live and God's promise of life be fulfilled in you and your children."

September 7, 2012 would have been Buddy Holly's 76th birthday. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, Holly recorded a catalog of songs – "Rave On," "Peggy Sue," "That'll Be the Day," "Oh Boy!" and "Maybe Baby," among them – that are rock and roll standards. He was born Charles Hardin Holley (later amended to "Holly") on September 7, 1936, in Lubbock, Texas, and learned to play guitar, piano and fiddle at an early age. Holly was an innovator who wrote his own material and was among the first to exploit such advanced studio techniques as double-tracking at Norman Petty's recording studio in Clovis, New Mexico. He pioneered and popularized the now-standard rock-band lineup of two guitars, bass and drums. In February 1955, Holly opened a show at the Lubbock Youth Center for Elvis Presley, an event that hastened his conversion from country and western to rock and roll. ("We owe it all to Elvis," he later said). Between August 1957 and August 1958, Holly and the Crickets charted seven Top 40 singles. While the wealth of material he recorded in that short time made a major and lasting impact on popular music, it was Holly's personality on and off the stage that endeared him to many, including the Drifters' Bill Pinkney.
In 2005, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's education department began recording interviews with artists and seminal figures in the history of rock and roll as part of an oral histories project. These interviews were used to help develop the Museum's distance learning program called On The Road, which continues to bring rock and roll education to classrooms across the globe. Bill Pinkney was among the artists interviewed for the project. A founding member of the Drifters, Pinkney was part of rock and roll's emergence in the 50s, appearing on such seminal Atlantic recordings as "Money Honey," "Honey Love" and "White Christmas." "Buddy Holly was a good friend of mine," said Pinkney, who passed away in 2007. In those nascent days of rock and roll, Pinkney spent many hours sharing a tour bus with Holly. In this candid interview clip, Pinkney recalls how Holly's kind spirit helped soften the harsh realities of segregation in a very personal way, how music was a powerful tool to foster integration and why Holly was "number one" in his book. "Buddy Holly, when I couldn't get a sandwich for myself, Buddy said: 'Just sit tight Bill. I'll get you a sandwich,'" recalled Pinkney. Watch the clip below to hear Pinkney tell the whole story.

When an already amazing winter garden is blanketed in snow . . .
. . . grab your coat, your camera. Hurry up! Go! ( Here, nearly silent runners duck and swerve to avoid the snow-laden branches as the heavy flakes keep falling.)
Don't wait for blue skies, though if they show, rejoice . . . (A pungent witch-hazel, in full fragrant bloom, bedecked with a heavy coat of snow.)
For even a hint of sunshine will change the visual landscape dramatically, adding even more color and contrast to the mix.
This stunning and very large Corylus avellana 'Contorta' literally glows within a small, momentary patch of sunlight.
There are wonders on a snow day, quite different from the rain. (Winter-blooming Camelia blossoms are accented by the darker leaf tops and lighter leaf bottoms, and, of course, a heavy dusting of snow.)
Some blooms may appear in an entirely new light against a background of white. (This Mahonia reaches upward perhaps ten feet beneath an immense cedar and its blooms, a prized source of hummingbird food, are much more visible against the bright snowy background than against shadowy, dark foliage on a snowless day. )
Small details take on new importance as one moves in close, even while still marveling at the larger snowy scene that drew you toward them in the first place.
For me it is that contrast, taking in the beauty of a larger, more pastoral scene and then turning to discover some small wonder on a shrub, not three feet behind me. ( Below: Garrya, aka, Silk Tassel Bush)
An early blooming rhododendron, radiant within a heavy blanket of white, serves as a woodland beacon against a backdrop of greys (below).
Seattle has a most amazing winter garden that many describe as a complete transformative experience once they've visited it. I have walked its winter-fragrant paths many, many times over the years, on rainy days and cold sunny days, and never, ever have I left, disappointed for the time spent getting there or being there, regardless of the weather. This past week, however, was something altogether different. This was the first time I've driven through a sea of insane-seeming fishtailing cars and trucks on the freeway and then navigated several slippery, narrow side streets in a heavy snowstorm to actually arrive and spend time within the winter garden as an ultimate winter paradise, and ohhh, oh my!
Once I had arrived safely and started walking within that sacred silence, that essential essence of falling snow, I completely forgot about all the crazies along the way, surrendering to the beauty, instead. I could scarcely have hoped for such a complete wonderland treat, and ended up staying there, utterly enchanted for nearly three hours.
If you live in the Seattle area or plan on visiting in the next month or so, and have never yet been to the winter garden, go. If you're coming to town for the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, consider a field trip with friends for a few hours, rain or shine. Bundle up, take your camera and treat your nose and eyes to something completely unexpected. There's no charge.

ZF-8055: Bug when using ZendX_JQuery_Form_Decorator_DialogContainer
- When using the ZendX_JQuery_Form_Decorator_DialogContainer, the content is not rendered. It seems that this is because the dialogContainer method has different syntax in comparison to accordionContainer and tabContainer. \ \ {quote} {{public function dialogContainer($id, {color:red}$content{color} , $params=array(), $attribs=array())}}
{{public function accordionContainer($id=null, array $params=array(), array $attribs=array())}} {{public function tabContainer($id=null, $params=array(), $attribs=array())}} {quote} \
The dialogContainer syntax does not correspond to what is used inside the ZendX_JQuery_Form_Decorator_UiWidgetContainer -> render method when rendering.
\ \ 2. In the other hand, ZendX_JQuery_Form_Decorator_UiWidgetContainer -> render contains the following instruction :
$attribs = array_merge($this->getAttribs(), $this->getOptions());
That causes the DIV container of the dialog to inherit of all attributes of the element (form for example)
So you can see results like that :
This is very weird.. I am going to look into it.
Both issues are fixed now in trunk, and merged back into 1.10 release branch.
Additionally i added a section to the manual about Dialog Container rendering in the Zend Form context.

The Sounds of VTech / Bilal "Robots"
Vtech Music has given us videos of Bilal in an amazing jam session, reworking classic songs like "Is This Love" and "Tainted Love." But it's especially appropriate that today they have released Bilal's official music video for "Robots," a track from the monster of an album Airtight's Revenge.
From Vtech, An Election Day Special:
On this Election Day 2010, Bilal teams up with French director Mikael Colombu to bring you "Robots". Come along and join us on this multi-media journey as we see the world of politics through Bilal's eyes. Mikael's ability to translate Bilal's words into imagery, gives us a chance to properly reflect on his ideology of modern times.
To Bilal, people are becoming more like robots through the use of manipulative propaganda by corporate media . This video is his way of opening everyone's eyes to the truth. As you watch "Robots" you'll soon find yourself paying very close attention to what is really going on.
Pass this along, and help the robots amongst us.
And don't forget to make a change by voting today.

Kristen Moss and Blaire Isleibof Flight Boutique share their tips for creating a chic winter look suitable for mingling with Sundance A-listers.
Go for a hooded coat. You don't want to ruin your stylish hairdo.
Invest in knee-high waterproof walking boots to keep your feet warm and dry.
Show off a south-of-the-border flair with a colorful poncho, which is functional for the cold but stylish indoors.
Wrap a bright scarf around your neck. It's always nice to see a pop of color under a basic coat.
Embrace sequins. You can dress a look down with tights and boots and switch to heels inside.
Go overboard with fur. Stick with one item and avoid looking silly in head-to-toe pelts.
Rock the Bluetooth around town. It's not a very chic accessory.
Wear stilettos. Sky-high heels, no matter how sexy, weren't built for ice and snow.
Opt for all white or all black. Every outfit needs a little color.

As we jump into the spring season, people are beginning to think about complimenting their gardens with new flowers and plants.
Some of the nurseries in Orange shared what's hot this time of year with their novice and veteran gardners.
"This is the season for fruit trees and vegetables", said Parry Hamada of Batavia Garden Nursery on the corner of Batavia Street and Taft Avenue. "Citrus, specifically orange, lemons, tangerines are selling well and will continue to do so in spring. Avocados are also a popular spring fruit tree."
"Hydrangeas and azaleas are popular spring flowers. Azaleas are seasonal and in about another month or so they will be out of bloom," Hamada said. "The hydrangeas will cycle; they will bloom now and again in about another month or so."
Lucy Vargas, manager at V. Montoya Nursery, shared that petunias and ranunculus are also a popular purchase for springtime.
"If you are looking for a longer lasting flower, petunias are your pick," she said. "Ranunculus tend to be a delicate flower and with too much rain or water, the flower will turn yellow. With the right food and water petunias will take off in its own; you can just let it be."
Dianthus and margaritas are also blooming now and dianthus will continue to bloom throughout the year. Vargas shared that if you clip back the brown ends, they will grow back. Many assume the plant is drying, due to the brown ends, but that's not the case. Margaritas do well in spring and they are not just a bedding plant; they grow as a shrub, making for a lovely accent in a yard.
New Zealand poppies are aplenty at the V. Montoya Nursery and are a popular Easter flower.
"The advantage of the New Zealand poppy is that it does not need much attention, but with a strong Santa Ana wind, the poppy will be stripped of its petals," Vargas warned.

Today is Bob Dylan's 70th birthday! It's hard to believe that rock's poet laureate has been making music for a half-century! To celebrate his birthday, Rolling Stone magazine put together a panel of 13 music writers and musicians to select Dylan's 70 greatest songs. I was extremely honored to have been a part of that panel. Each panelist had to submit a list of their top 25 Bob Dylan songs. My list featured "Like a Rolling Stone" at number one. I guess the other panelists agreed, as that song was number one in the final rankings. The song was really revolutionary. Even though it clocked in at more than six minutes, it became a hit, reaching Number Two on the charts. The musicianship, as Bono wrote in his Rolling Stone essay about the song, "is so alive and immediate that it's like you're getting to see the paint splash the canvas." But most important are the lyrics, as Dylan attacks the "all the pretty people," the ones "thinkin' they got it made."
The rest of my top ten was as follows: "Blowin' in the Wind," "Tangled Up in Blue," "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Subterranean Homesick Blues," "I Shall Be Released," "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," "All Along the Watchtower," "Masters of War" and "Rainy Day Woman, #12 & 35." Many of the song descriptions were written by other artists, including Bono , Mick Jagger, David Crosby and Keith Richards. Bob Dylan had a dramatic impact on popular music, and it's really great that's he's still around and still an active artist.
The Rock Hall's Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll features several of Bob Dylan's songs. Download the app for iPad and iPhone: click here for details!

Columbus Metropolitan Library, Worthington Libraries and Southwest Public Libraries have made the strategic decision to join the Central Library Consortium (CLC) in 2013. This partnership will result in 11 library systems serving 1.4 million residents across six counties with nearly 1.2 million unique titles, doubling the number of titles all of those libraries currently offer their customers.
The CLC is a 25-year-old partnership among library systems who share materials, resources, servers, licenses, group purchases and even staff while remaining strong, independent library systems. Libraries in the consortium include: Pickaway County District Public Library, Alexandria, Fairfield County, Grandview Heights, Marysville, Pickerington, Plain City and Wagnalls Memorial.
This is a great opportunity for our library patrons, said Jim Guenther, director of the Pickaway County Library. The CLC Board voted unanimously to welcome Columbus Metropolitan Library, Worthington Libraries and Southwest Public Libraries into the consortium. This will open many doors for our patrons.
In May 2013, all 11 libraries will use the same online catalog system. Any customer from any of the libraries in the CLC will be able to borrow materials from any library in the consortium. Guenther said sharing services and materials between libraries makes them more efficient and less costly. All library systems appreciate the value of collaboration in a time that funding from the state has been shrinking.
This partnership demonstrates to our community, legislators and other stakeholders that we understand the need to think differently and collaboratively in a time of diminishing dollars, said Patrick Losinski, chief executive officer of Columbus Metropolitan Library. By investing in advances in technology and strategic partnerships, we position ourselves as an organization ready to meet the needs and demands of our customers and communities in every strategic way we can.
Guenther said the CLC joint effort not only helps Ohio public libraries save money, it offers unprecedented access to materials for the public.
Columbus Metropolitan Library, Southwest Public Libraries and Worthington Libraries have been partners in sharing a catalog and materials for over 20 years so they have already seen success with sharing materials.

ZF-12506: Zend_Date returning a non-manual conforming year
Well, I'm actually requesting to revert ZF-11992.
Since the new year is just starting we have had some complaints that (when using weeknumber / year calculations derived from single dates) all of a sudden, instead of ex. week 1 and 2 of 2013 we get a range from week 1, 2012 up to and including week 2, 2013.
Please reopen the original issue and do not create a new one.
Ok, no problem; but how? I cannot find anything to reopen or otherwise point in that direction.

see the other "in need of care and repair" evaluation
I am very sorry not to be able to write a really positive evaluation. Lamar himself is a nice man but the whole house needs very urgently repair and care. My room was in the basement and the whole basement, kitchen, bathroom, tv-room, my and my friend's room were really smelly, musty and damp. Even when you open the cupboards you have to wash the dishes and pots before use because they smell so musty. In the bathroom is mold, the the fittings and the faucet in the tub are not really fastened. Lamar did not clean once in the week I was there. Dust everywhere, in every corner, on the ceilings, junk cardboards standing in the corners, the house outside needs repair, the deck construction almost rotten, one garden chair definitely broken was put to the table again every time I put it aside to prevent accidents.
It could be a nice accomodation with a small garden to sit but Lamar definitely has to furbish up the establishment, especially for that price.
Apart from that typical North American suburban neighborhood, close to the airport and easy to reach for the city. Parking lots in front of the house at the street always available.
Friendly host and I enjoyed a nice room and shared the kitchen and nice bathroom with two other guests. The kitchen is somewhat outdated. But the stay was very pleasant wth quiet guest in a quiet location and close to the bus which brings you in 10 minutes downtown.
Ich kann nur positives über Lamar und über meinen Aufenthalt bei ihm berichten. Lamar ist einer der nettesten Menschen die ich kennen lernen durfte und das Haus war sehr sauber. Es ist sehr ruhig gelegen, daher bekommt man einen guten Schlaf wenn man vom Tag geschafft ist. Die Busanbindung könnte nicht besser sein, man ist binnen 20 Minuten in Downtown und auch in der Nähe gibt es genug Läden die man zu Fuß erreichen kann. Für jeden der gern nette Leute kennen lernt und auf seine Ruhe am Abend besteht kan ich diesen Ort nur empfehlen. Desweiteren hat Lamar viele nützliche Tipps und steht einem zur Seite wenn man nicht weiss was man machen soll oder wie man irgendwo hin kommt.
Sollte ich mal wieder in Vancouver sein werde ich defintiv wieder kommen.
Sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber.
Gute Lage(ca.7 km bis nach Downtown) und sehr gute Busanbindungen in sämtliche Richtungen.
Wir waren 2 männliche Gäste aus Deutschland und für etwa 3Wochen in dieser Unterkunft.Wir würden jederzeit gerne wieder kommen,da man sich hier einfach wohl fühl kann.

How would you like to be recognized as king (or queen) of the online slot casino? It can very well happen if you join a multiplayer online slots tournament at All Slots. Now, it's not just you against the online casino slot machines, it's you against other real human-being online slot players.

Of course, there is a lot more to All Slots than just slots. In fact, you can find literally hundreds of great online casino games at All Slots.
Take roulette, for example. All Slots offers American, European, and French roulette, as well as multiwheel roulette, multiplayer roulette, Premier Roulette, Gold Series online roulette games, and progressive jackpot Roulette Royale. That's a lot of roulette you can play in the casino online. You can also play many variations of online blackjack, video poker, keno, scratch cards, and more.

The All Slots Live Casino combines the best of all worlds. As an online casino, it gives you the freedom to play from any computer, anywhere in the world, at any time, at your convenience.

And these dealers are extremely attractive, which certainly doesn't hurt anything.
The convenience of the online casino combined with the attractiveness of lovely live dealers: you can have it all at All Slots Live Casino.
A progressive jackpot is just what it sounds like: it is a jackpot that progresses — in other words, it gets bigger — every time someone plays the game. Then, when some lucky gambler hits the jackpot, it resets and starts progressing again. For a chance to win big money in the casino online, progressive jackpot games are the way to go.
All Slots has all kinds of progressive jackpot games. It has 3-reel and 5-reel online progressive slot machines, it has progressive poker, progressive blackjack, progressive roulette, and progressive video poker. Lots of progressive games, lots of big jackpots, and lots of fun at All Slots.
And how do you win a progressive jackpot? Well, the ways of winning are as varied as the games themselves. You can get five King symbols on the ninth payline on the King Cashalot progressive slot machine. You can get a Royal Flush in Poker Ride. The same number hitting five consecutive times will do it in Roulette Royale, as will a hand of three diamond 7s in Triple Sevens Blackjack. Any way you do it, winning a progressive jackpot at All Slots means winning many thousands — maybe even millions — of real dollars or Euros for an unforgettable online casino payout.
At All Slot Casino, you will never be pressured into betting and risking your money if you don't want to. With just a few exceptions — the progressive jackpot games, the multiplayer games, and the live dealer games — all of the games at All Slots can be played for free and just for fun or can be played for real money. It's your choice. You can start with play for fun and then switch over to play for real after you have had a chance to familiarize yourself with the game and to perfect your strategy, or you can play for fun forever just because it's fun. A land-based brick-and-mortar casino would never let you play the games without gambling, but when you play casino games online at All Slots you are free to play for fun as much as you want to.
Welcome to All Slots! Check out our online slot machines and other online casino games and check out the exciting bonuses and promotions in store for you. Good luck and have fun!!

Grand Opening
In celebration of the new 2013/2014 season, the Alliance Theatre's season opening gala featured cocktails, dinner and special performances. Guests gathered at the Museum of Design Atlanta for drinks and dining before migrating across the street to the theater for an exclusive look at Barry Manilow's much-anticipated Harmony or Tarell Alvin McCraney's Choir Boy, which kicks off the 10th anniversary of the Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition. Proceeds from the gala benefited the theater's youth and family programs. Photography by Joey Wallace

ZF-2144: Allow where() to accept array as input
Zend_Db_Select::where() should be able to accept arrays as input...
This can simplify input like in the following example: old:
$db->where('column1 = ?', 2)
->where('column2 = ?', 5)
->where('column3 = ?', 10);
$array = array(
'column1' => 2,
'column2' => 5,
'column3' => 10);
This is of course only supported if named arrays are given. The values from numeric arrays would be used for replacing existing placeholders
Assigning to [~thomas].
Setting this to Nice to Have for project management purposes. When it is completed it will be included in the release, it just won't be prioritized for completion by a member of the Zend team. All yours, Thomas. ;)
Actually I've discussed, with darby and simon, all 4 issues related to change the "where" clause where this issue also belongs to.
We already set the things on the road and cleared the acceptable use cases. So I'll do my best :-)
Assigned to Darby because all other related and dependend issues are related to him
If you want to work on this, please don't hesitate to reassign any Db-related issue that is currently assigned to me, including the ones on which this depends, as I won't likely have any time to get to them until after this release anyway.
I'm being affected by this issue as well, and was going to file a new bug, until I saw this. However, shouldn't the the array look more like this?
$array = array(
'column1 = ?' => 1,
'column2 = ?' => 'string',
'column3 = ?' => $var);
No, you are not affected by this... ;-)
Until now array are not supported as described here and this feature is, for now, not integrated. So you can't be affected by an issue which is not integrated nor described.
It will be integrated after 1.5 is out.
Class will be reworked by Simon... sorry if I confused anybody. He has a better overview over the complete Db design, not only Zend_Db_Select and will help better than me.
Resetting 'fix version priority' and 'fix version' to be re-evaluated for next release.
I'd like to see a use case with the latest Zend_Db_Select where this would be particularly useful.
Simon, is this a change that makes sense with the current Zend_Db_Select? If so, please schedule for a fix. I personally would like to see an example where it significantly clarifies or reduces code.
This issue has gone unaddressed for too long. I'm reassigning this to Ralph for re-evaluation and categorization.
Is this something that can still be implemented for ZFv1? Or should it be postponed to 2.0?
After reviewing, I agree with Wil: I don't see a situation where this would significantly improve, clarify or simplify the use of Zend_Db_Select. It's also been hanging around for half a decade now, so if it were necessary it would have been implemented by now. Closing as won't fix.

text: A Great Academic Value SAINT MARY'S IS A GREAT ACADEMIC VALUE If you're like other applicants to Saint Mary's, you've found a match between your academic interests and our programs, discovered a community where you expect to fit in, and look forward to a set of values that mesh with your own. Despite all the research you've done to this point, you're not alone if you're still questioning the real differences among your top college choices. And, a far more important question: Even if there are differences, do those differences really mean anything in the long run? Will you end up in a different place in your career and your life because of the college choice you make now? The following brief articles will help you and your family consider those questions. The final college decision, of course, is YOURS … and we hope this information helps you make the decision that is best for you. WHAT MATTERS IN COLLEGE (AFTER COLLEGE) Over the past 10 years, more than 10,000 graduates of colleges and universities across the country, from large public universities to smaller private colleges, have participated in a study that examined both their college experiences and their current careers and lives. Two years ago, the graduates of Catholic colleges and universities joined this study. (Comparative Alumni Research Program — Hardwick-Day.) Of more than 120 questions in the study, those relating to three areas of the college experience were the most strongly linked with a positive set of career and life outcomes. Interaction between students and faculty, and active engagement in the learning process Participation in the campus community Integration of values and ethics in the college experience Here is a sample of the research findings that compares the group of Catholic colleges with larger public universities. Interaction between students and faculty, and active engagement in the learning process RESULTS: How much did you benefit from your college offering small classes with fewer than 20 students? Catholic colleges - 52% Larger public universities - 13% How much did you benefit from a majority of classes taught by professors? Catholic colleges - 81% Larger public universities - 38% How often did your college experience include professors who challenged you but also personally helped you meet those challenges? Catholic colleges - 77% Larger public universities - 47% How often did your college experience include extensive classroom discussions? Catholic colleges - 74% Larger public universities - 48% Do these differences matter? As you can see above, graduates of public universities and Catholic colleges report very different academic experiences. More important, however, are the differences that show up in their current lives and careers. In comparison to the graduates of large public universities, Catholic college graduates are more likely to say: they were well-prepared for their first job their college helped them develop effective writing skills their college helped them develop effective speaking skills their college helped them develop skills to solve problems and make effective decisions their college experience helped them become politically and socially aware their college experience helped them develop an appreciation of fine arts they graduated in four years they were completely satisfied with their college experience WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AT SAINT MARY'S NEXT YEAR Saint Mary's participates in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) which compares colleges by asking current students about their college experiences. In November, USA Today cited SMU for high NSSE scores in the areas of active and supportive faculty, student engagement, and learning environment. NSSE scores give you a measure of current students' perception of and satisfaction with their college experience. Here are just a few of the findings. In comparison to students at other colleges, SMU students were more likely to: say the college provides the support they need to succeed discuss ideas from readings with a professor outside the class work with professors on activities other than coursework say the quality of academic advising is excellent or good work with classmates outside of class to prepare assignments report a high level of academic challenge talk about career plans with a professor or advisor say courses emphasize applying theories and concepts to practical problems and new situations rate their college experience as excellent or good Learn more about NSSE & Saint Mary's other accolades

The University of Arizona men's basketball program has the potential to make its third ESPN College GameDay appearance in as many years this February when the network decides between a pair of Pac-12 games for its weekly show.
ESPN will stage the Feb. 22 edition of College GameDay, once again sponsored by State Farm, at either the Wildcats' game at Colorado or UCLA's visit to Stanford.
The GameDay matchup will receive the 9 p.m. ET/7 p.m. MST ESPN slot on Feb. 22, while the game not selected will be televised on either ESPN or ESPN2 at 6 p.m. ET/4 p.m. MST. The site determination will be made no later than two weeks prior to the date.
A College GameDay appearance this season would mark UA's fourth time as a part of the show, including hosting honors in 2012. Arizona was part of the March 2 GameDay show last season when it visited UCLA. A selection this season would tie the Wildcats for the Pac-12 lead in College GameDay appearances.Times and television information for Arizona's entire 2013-14 schedule are expected to be announced by the Pac-12 in the coming weeks. For the latest information and an inside look at the UA program, follow @APlayersProgram on Twitter.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
adobe home, adobe house, adobe, Simone Swan, Adobe Alliance, Texas, solar power, wind power, wind turbine,
Upon returning home from Yemen, where political uprisings canceled the Mud, Stone and Shale conference she'd planned to attend, Simone Swan writes: "We are yet in another desert in a most harmonious atmosphere, no other structure in sight but my hand-built vaulted and domed mud brick house with its two courtyards. It has not rained one drop for six months here on the Texas-Mexican border. Because of the drought and unseasonal frosts, little is in bloom. I am blessed with the soft voices of students and interns, with silence, with the hum of bees in the hesitantly flowering creosote bushes, but miss the muezzin's punctual call to prayer, and the sound of spoken Arabic."
Simone's home is as far off the grid as you get in this country, beyond West Texas and well past fashionable Marfa. With wide, sweeping views of Mexico's Sierra Rica and the Chinati range, these 500 acres are a place of raw, stunning beauty, with architecture to match. Simone learned about building with mud from Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy, whose empowerment of people through adobe building inspired her to found the Adobe Alliance. Adobe is political, Simone believes. "As building materials rise even higher in cost than in this first decade of the 21st century; as industrial materials' toxicity is perceived, as their cost of transportation increases with the price of fuels; as the climatic comfort and salubriousness of adobe walls are discovered, more budget-conscious dwellers will be drawn to the material," she predicts.
Simone was drawn to Presidio, Texas, for its solid earthen building tradition, and she felt comfortable with its similarities to Egypt, where she'd spent many years. Sitting at the confluence of the Rio Conchos and Rio Grande rivers, this fertile little crescent in the Chihuahuan desert was an agricultural land of plenty until landowners sold water rights to El Paso. Like many parts of rural Egypt, the area is now beset by high unemployment and significant poverty.
Through the Adobe Alliance, Simone aims to build low-cost, energy-efficient housing for desert dwellers. Her home is part of her continuing inquiry into mud building techniques, breathable plasters and natural cooling. Built for $50 a square foot in 1998, the H-shaped structure is made from 20-inch thick adobe bricks (with manure added for viscosity), handcrafted just across the border in Ojinaga, Mexico. Two courtyards function as cooling devices, and a long gallery is lit by four clerestory windows. "I wanted the house to have sheltered spaces as well as two roofless spaces because a courtyard in the desert is like an air conditioner," Simone explains. On summer mornings, sunlight blasts the cool air that sinks into the courtyards overnight, creating eddies that move the cool air into the house through French doors. Once the cool air is inside, Simone shuts the doors and windows to keep it there. "This only works when adobe walls are plastered with a material that breathes, such as lime or a mud plaster," she warns.
Powered by a 12-panel solar photovoltaic system and a wind turbine, the home is heated by the sun. "My house is a prototype," Simone says. "We experimented as we went along. I went ahead on the strength of having studied with Hassan Fathy and built this house by the seat of my pants. I did it because I had to, which means anyone can."
I'm not sure I could build this on my own. But sitting in the cool shade of Simone's ramada, looking out at her meditation hut's deep purple Nubian dome, I felt privileged that she did. I would love to be back among the hesitantly flowering creosote bushes, basking in Simone's wisdom. Hers is a place of peace.

The walls are covered with breathable natural plaster, and the floors are clay saltillo, which keeps the home cool. This bed carved out of one piece of wood is from the Ivory Coast. Photo by Terrence Moore
In the gallery, 20-inch-thick earth-plastered adobe walls glow softly as light streams in from French doors on three sides and clerestory windows on the east wall. Peeled vigas (beams) support the roof—topped by an observation deck—while multiple coats of turpentine and linseed oil bring a soft matte finish to the smooth adobe floors. Patios on either side of the gallery are used as roofless rooms. Photo by Terrence Moore
Handmade wooden cabinets, constructed on site, hold pots and pans in Simone's spacious, light kitchen. From the window over the sink she looks out at the wildlife and, beyond that, south toward Mexico. Photo by Terrence Moore

The ramada features a thatched roof that the work crew built from ocotillo cactus harvested from Simone's 500-acre property. The ramada provides shade for the home's south façade. Photo by Terrence Moore
Simone's meditation space, or capilla (chapel) also serves as a guest room and holds two beds, a desk and a chair. Inside, Simone says, "it's a sanctuary, like being enveloped in a womb." Photo by Terrence Moore

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
A food allergy is an abnormal response of the body to a certain food. It is important to know that this is different than a food intolerance, which does not affect the immune system, although some of the same signs may be present.
Before having a food allergy reaction, a sensitive person must be exposed to the food at least once before. It is the second time the person eats the food that the allergic symptoms happen. At that time, when IgE (immunoglobin E) antibodies react with the food, histamines are released, which can cause hives, asthma, itching in the mouth, trouble breathing, stomach pains, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Food allergy causes an immune system response, causing symptoms that range from uncomfortable to life-threatening. Food intolerance does not effect the immune system, although some symptoms may be the same as in food allergy.
Approximately 90 percent of all food allergies are caused by six foods:
Eggs, milk, and peanuts are the most common causes of food allergies in children, with wheat, soy, and tree nuts also included. Peanuts, nuts, fish, and shellfish commonly cause the most severe reactions. About 6 percent to 8 percent of children under the age of three years have food allergies. Although most children "outgrow" their allergies, allergy to peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish may be life-long.
Allergic symptoms may begin within minutes to an hour after ingesting the food. Symptoms may include:
According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, it does not take much of the food to cause a severe reaction in highly allergic people. In fact, as little as 1/44,000 of a peanut kernel can cause an allergic reaction for severely allergic individuals.
Specific treatment for food allergy will be determined by your physician based on:
At this time, no medication is available to prevent food allergy. The goal of treatment is to avoid the food that causes the symptoms.
People with food allergy must be prepared to treat any accidental ingestion of the foods that cause the allergic reaction. Discuss this further with your physician.
There are medications available to treat some symptoms of food allergy after the food has been eaten. These medications may relieve rhinitis symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, or asthma symptoms. Discuss this further with your physician.
Although research is ongoing, currently, there is no allergy injection treatment approved for the treatment of food allergies. Strictly avoiding the allergy-causing food is the only way to prevent a reaction.
After seeing a physician and finding foods to which your child is allergic, it is very important to avoid these foods and other similar foods in that food group. If you are breastfeeding your child, it is important to avoid foods in your diet to which your child is allergic. Small amounts of the food allergen may go to your child through the breast milk and cause a reaction.
It is also important to give vitamins and minerals to your child if he/she is unable to eat certain foods. Discuss this further with your physician.
For children who have had a severe food reaction, your physician may prescribe an emergency kit that contains epinephrine, which helps stop the symptoms of severe reactions. Discuss this further with your physician.
Some children, under the direction of your physician, may be given certain foods again after three to six months to see if the child has outgrown the allergy. Many allergies may be short term in children and the food may be tolerated after the age of 3 or 4.
If you have one or more food allergies, dining out can be a challenge. However, it is possible to have a healthy and satisfying dining-out experience - it just takes some preparation and persistence on your part.
The American Dietetics Association offers these tips for dealing with food allergies when you are eating away from home:
Another strategy for dining out with food allergies is to give your server or the manager a food allergy card. A food allergy card contains information about the specific items you are allergic to, along with additional information, such as a reminder to make sure all utensils and equipment used to prepare your meal is thoroughly cleaned prior to use. You can easily print these cards yourself using a computer and printer.
Alternately, there are several types of allergy cards available on the internet that can be customized with your personal information. One example is the "Food Allergy Buddy" Dining Card, promoted by the National Restaurant Association.
The Food Allergy Initiative, in conjunction with the National Restaurant Association and the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network, has developed the Food Allergy Training Program for Restaurants and Food Services. This training program was developed to help restaurants and other foodservice outlets to ensure their customers, including those with food allergies, will receive a safe meal prepared to customer specifications.

When it's time to buy new toys for your workshop, you are always eyeing the shiny band saws, stationary sanders and other stationary power tools. These behemoths are great for cutting and finishing lumber for large renovation and building projects. They have power and functionality, so any homeowner would be happy to own a few. However, the true value of a workshop lies in the handheld power tools, which take care of the everyday grunt work and finishing that has to happen before your projects can ever be complete.
You probably already recognize the value of a good handheld drill. Many projects don't need to be hauled out to the workbench for a quick screw or hole. With a handheld drill, you can take the tool to the project without breaking your back. On projects that require several screws, it is nice to move a lightweight hand drill around rather than hauling your entire project to a stationary drill. And handheld drills can assemble projects in a fraction of the time that a simple screwdriver can do the job.
Another great handheld power tool is the circular saw. While a stationary saw is always a safer option, sometimes you just can't haul a giant power tool out to your worksite. A circular saw can do much of the same work at any location, which is a relief when you have to saw up lumber in the woods behind your house or you don't want to get sawdust all over the garage. There are several other styles of hand saws that are great for various projects as well. Reciprocating saws can make clean cuts through drywall when you need to make an electrical or plumbing repair or you simply want to patch up a hole that was already there.
If you hate swinging a hammer for hours on end, then an impact driver is a great handheld power tool for you. These tools take care of nails without the fear of smashing your thumb or other fingers. Plus, they can squeeze into all those nooks and crannies to nail stuff together where a hammer simply can't reach. Impact drivers come with several attachments that make them great for any size nailing project and are much safer to use than nail guns.
A handheld sander is essential if you plan to do any carpentry or woodworking. Sometimes the dimensions of your project just won't work in a stationary sander, and you need the flexibility that a smaller, more mobile sander can provide. Sanding is an important finishing task that can't be overlooked, and a good handheld sander will be able to handle any project, from one that require tough grit all the way to heirloom pieces that require little more than some buffering action.
Finally, a handheld multitool is a handyman's best friend when it comes to power tools. This style of tool, popularized by the Dremel company, can grind, sand and saw its way through just about any project. The versality of this tool makes it a great value for the money and always gives you something you can use at your fingertips, even when you are miles away from your workshop.
If you need to beef up your handheld power tool collection, the best place to start is at Sears. With brand names that have been in your family for generations, we have the durable, affordable and long-lasting tools that you want to keep at your fingertips. Stop by today to browse the selection and pick up all the tools a handyman will need.

D3, x.55 F/W and Bluetooth
I recently bought the D3 and I wish I had found this site before I spent my cash. However I am here and I installed the EU .55 F/W and then tried to use the D3 with the Bluetooth to the car radio. Sometimes it works but at other times it plays for a few seconds and then switches to 'pause' (on the car and the D3 display). It doesn't seem to matter how many times you restart it, within seconds it is paused again. Has anyone else come across this?
I usually (whether it is working properly or not) also get a pop-up on the D3 saying that the 'Music Application is not responding. Do I want to force it closed or Wait'. Is this just another of the D3's bizarre multi-tasking issues or is there some way to avoid this?
I would add that I'm new to PMPs so maybe the next bit is just naivety on my part but I find the 'documentation' and Cowon's 'support' more than sparse - on just about every subject!

'Sometimes it works but at other times it plays for a few seconds and then switches to 'pause' (on the car and the D3 display). It doesn't seem to matter how many times you restart it, within seconds it is paused again. Has anyone else come across this?'
This happens to me too. I have to:
1. Highlight the bluetooth car connection name on my D3 list
2. Hold it down until the D3 asks if I want to 'Disconnect & Unpair'
3. Re-pair the device.
It's an absolute pain to do every time I get in the car (especially if you've got a phone bluetoothed in too as it will initially disconnect this pairing!)
You should only need to do it once per journey though as most cars should hold the settings fro an hour or so even when the engine's off...
Perhaps more learned members than I can advise!
A kind of relief . .
to know I'm not missing something obvious. Thanks.
I wonder how many firmware fixes Cowon will need to make this work right.
Which leads me to two new questions:
- Is there anywhere 'official' to report problems like this? Cowon's FAQ and Q&A seem like the digital equivalent of a ghost town.
- Does anyone know roughly how long Cowon continue to provide firmware updates before they move onto the next product? Do we have an evens chance of getting to 'Ice Cream Sandwich' or is even 'Honeycomb' pushing it?

- Interview employees performing their jobs
- Measure work elements (i.e., force, distance, weight, push/pull forces)

- Evaluate digital photos/video
This data is used to provide a quantified ergonomic risk factor analysis and recommendations to correct the problems identified through the assessment process.

We develop a Customized Industrial Ergonomics Program by:
- Working with your organization to develop an ergonomic process
- Customizing the process to stay within your budget and available resources, large or small
- Developing tracking or checklist documents to support the process
- Training the ergonomic team members in using the ergonomic process on actual concerns

We have the solution. With our Program Management Option, a Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE) with well over 18 years of experience will manage your company's ergonomic program with services such as:
- Program implementation and management
- Facilitating ergonomic committee meetings
