Introduction - neil boorman - 01-02-2010
Good morning to all, just a quick to post to introduce myself, my name is Neil and my wife is Sue, we are hoping to visit St albans Chatham on Sunday and were just hoping for some tips on what to expect!
We have been to two Orthodox liturgies before, one at a Russian Orthodox church and one at an Antiochian, and i must be honest i was stunned by the exclusivity and unfriendliness we experienced especially at the latter. My wife and I are both Anglicans at present but have felt drawn to Orthodoxy for quite a while now, and have read into the theology and history of the Orthodox church, and have incorporated some of the prayers into our prayer rule. We also have a house full of Icons!!
I stumbled across the BOC website a while ago but like others I guess i've been put off by the whole 'monophysite' charge thrown around by the EO. However, after reading quite a few of the posts on here, and also some articles on other OO websites, what I have read stands in stark contrast to the attitudes often displayed elsewhere, and as our Lord said, 'By their fruits you will know them', so here I am. Anyway, sorry to start by moaning, i've noticed this isn't a moany forum which is why i decided to post (I don't usually), so i promise no more grumbling!!

Dear Neil,
What can you expect at St Albans, Chatham? You can expect a small congregation in a small Church - despised and put down as monphysite (just like the British Orthodox Church in Bournemouth where I serve as priest). You can expect two dedicated clergy in Father Peter and subdeacon Michael. You can expect the Divine Liturgy of Saint James in English, in a British cultural setting - you can expect a British Church that is Orthodox and an Orthodox Church that is British. You can expcet to encounter the Holy Trinity and to worship amidst the saints and angels. You can also expect a friendly and warm and loving welcome though if they are already into the prayers this may have to wait until afterwards. And you can expect true Christology, not monophysitism. We don't go in for monophysitism anymore than we go in for exclusivity and unfriendliness!
But perhaps I've said far too much - for I remember what my father always used to say, "He who expecteth nothing is never disappointed!"
- Simon - 01-02-2010
Dear Neil,
If you email me your postal address or I think you can private message me somehow through this Forum (I occasionally work out the technology) I will post you a DVD with some British Orthodox worship on it, including highlights of the Divine Liturgy and consecration of St Albans Church, Chatham and the sermon preached on the occasion by our metropolitan, His Eminence Abba Seraphim. If you can get me an address today or tomorrow I will send it first class post and hopefully you can watch it before you go but entirely up to you - no pressure one way or other
P.S. My email address is: email@example.com Nearly forgot - brains of a tin of baked beans at times!
- neil boorman - 01-02-2010
Thanks for your swift response and thanks for the DVD offer, and for putting my mind at ease, I have e mailed my postal address to you
thanks again

Good Morning Neil and Sue.
Did you visit the Church on Sunday. If so, how did you find it and what did you think of the service?
- neil boorman - 11-02-2010
Hi Daniel, yes we did indeed visit St Albans Chatham on Sunday and found the whole experience very spiritually uplifting, i've never come away from a church service feeling that way before, it certainly hit the spot! We will be attending again this coming Sunday
- Antony-Paul - 11-02-2010
Dear Neil and Sue,
First, my apologies - I read, and replied to, your request for prayers before I saw this thread. You have obviously found it!
How marvellous that you have had a good and loving experience at Chatham. I am only recently come to the BOC myself, and understand what an extraordinary experience you must have had. You remain in my prayers that God will grant you His Blessings.

Dear Jon,
I know that Father Peter is a very busy man and with lots of pressures on him so perhaps for now if you would like to email me I will see if I can be of any help at all.
I will apologise in advance as I have two liturgies to celebrate this weekend, one tomorrow in Portsmouth and another in Bournemouth on Sunday and am away Satrurday night so please bear with me if I cannot reply until next week - but do please email me on firstname.lastname@example.com
I look forward to hearing from you. Meantime we will include you in those we pray for by name in the heart of the Liturgy both tomorrow and Sunday,
- mikethelionheart - 20-02-2010
Dear Jon
I too am a Roman Catholic. I am currently studying the Orthodox church, not with a view to converting but because I am an RE teacher and I teach at my church.
The more I discover about Orthodox Christianity, the more I love it, but also the more I realise that the Catholic Church is the true church and the protector of the faith.
Please feel free to get in touch with me.
firstname.lastname@example.com
- Simon - 20-02-2010
Dear Mike,
Maybe my theological awareness may not always be all that it should so perhaps I am misunderstanding your posting. To me it appears to distinguish Orthodox Christianity from the Catholic Church and to distinguish Orthodox Christianity from "the true Church and the protector of the faith." Maybe it's that 'but' that's confusing me. There is Orthodox Christianity but "the Catholic Church is the true Church and the protector of the faith."
To me this implies or suggests that whatever Orthodox Christianity is, it is somehow to be distinguished from the Catholic Church - or perhaps you mean the Roman Catholic Church? In which case I suppose you mean that it is the Roman Catholic Church, as distinct from Orthodox Christianity, which is the true Church?
Do you think you could possibly manage to put this clearer for me please?
Thank you,
- mikethelionheart - 20-02-2010
Hi Simon
I suspect you know very well that I meant what you refer to as the Roman Catholic Church.
However, there is no such church as 'the Roman Catholic Church'.
The phrase Roman Catholic was invented in the nineteenth century by Protestants as an insult to Catholics.
The official title of what you call the Roman Catholic Church is the Holy Catholic Church. Called by virtually everybody in the world the Catholic church. Which is what I call it.
I am aware that Orthodox (and Protestants) consider themselves the Catholic church. My post was addressed to a Catholic (what you would call a Roman Catholic, he even referred to himself as a Roman Catholic) and is not intended to insult Orthodox Christians.
- Simon - 20-02-2010
Dear Mike,
Notwithstanding your suspicion that I knew very well what you meant I can assure I did not or I would not have wasted both my time and yours in asking such a redundant question!
I confess however that I remain unclear as to what exactly you are saying. I do not mean to be obtuse and am doing my best to hear accurately what you are saying. Are you equating the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church with the body whose official title you have explained is the Holy Catholic Church (aka the Roman Catholic Church) to the exclusion of Orthodox Christianity? Are Orthodox Christians members of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church? Or are we not?
Please be assured that I do not feel insulted. I am seeking clarification of your meaning so as to accurately understand what you are saying.
I would also appreciate it if you could enlarge upon your words "the protector of the faith". Given your explanation that you were referring to the body known as the Roman Catholic Church or to give it the official title of which you have made me aware Holy Catholic Church do you mean that this body is the protector of the faith and that Orthodox Churches are not? Or do you mean that we are both protectors? And how does this protection work or operate?
It would be good to understand you better on these points. Thank you for what ever help you can give me here.
- mikethelionheart - 20-02-2010
Hi Simon
As a Catholic, when I refer to the Catholic Church I mean, exclusively, what you would refer to as the Roman Catholic Church. I make no apologies for that, no should I or any other Catholic.
Do I consider the Orthodox churches one, holy, catholic and apostolic? I would certainly accept them as apostolic, which is more than can be said for Protestantism.
I would hope the other three would flow from being apostolic, but what does being one mean for the Orthodox? A loose federation?
Do you consider the Catholic church one, holy, apostolic and Catholic?
I will be attending church tomorrow at my local Greek Orthodox church. I will not be allowed to take the Eucharist there because the Orthodox churches do not allow Catholics to take it in their churches, even though the Catholic church allows an Orthodox Christian to take communion in a Catholic service because we both believe in the actual presence.
Does this mean the Orthodox are one, holy, catholic and apostolic but Catholics are not.
It is 11pm where I am now so I may not reply for a while. I have prayers and meditation to do before bed.
God bless.
- Simon - 21-02-2010
Dear Mike,
Thank you for your clarification of some of your points. I appreciate you taking the time.
What does being one mean for the Orthodox? A loose federation? This isn't how I look at it or think of it at all. What being one means to me as an Orthodox Christian is oneness of belief and sacramental oneness.
To quote Bishop karekin Sarkissian, the Oriental Orthodox "family of Churches represent a unity in diversity of the most varied nature...which for so many centuries have maintained their unity in spite of isolation, hardships of life, persecutions of an almost ceaseless frequency. The geographical, ethnic, cultural, national, and liturgical differences have not been a hindrance to the preservation of the unity of faith... In ethnic, cultural, and historical terms there is a sharp distinction between an Armenian, a Copt, an Ethiopian, and Indian and a Syrian. Their liturgical traditions have developed in different directions. Yet, the unity of faith has been firmly maintained... the communion of faith has been soundly preserved..."
What does being one mean for this Orthodox? It means more than I can hope to say. I rejoice every day in my union with the members of this wonderful family of Chruches. I cannot begin to express what this oneness means to me. Some years ago I tried to put into words what this oneness, this being one, meant to me and however hopelessly inadequate and even nonsensical my words read, I'm not sure I can improve on them and so whether nonsensical or not I quote them below. What does being one mean to an Orthodox Christian? To this Orthodox Christian I think it means everything!
Concerning "my visit to the Eritrean Orthodox... I will begin in good Orthodox apophatic tradition by saying what it was not. Though an ex-public house, converted into a Church and lacking the glories of Western, Eastern or Ethiopian Church architecture and in places clearly displaying evidence of its former history and situated in less than beautiful surroundings... to be there is, to me, as though I was away in the holy places of Ethiopia ? to celebrate that ancient Liturgy in that place is, as I once remarked to someone there, to be in my favourite place on earth. This latest visit was no exception.
It is the Orthodox Christian Faith that every time we take part in the Liturgy, every time we join in the Liturgy, we are in heaven. There are some famous words of (the Russian) Saint Vladimir?s envoys of their experience of the liturgy in Hagia Sophia that they knew not whether they were in heaven or earth - sometimes, like those envoys, we are aware of it, conscious of it... I remember one particular Paschal Vigil Liturgy at our Orthodox Church of Christ the Saviour in Bournemouth that was simply wonderful - I was more in heaven than on earth that night! I was ?floating?! One visual highlight that stands out in my memory is when we had processed outside and our bishop Abba Seraphim turned to face us with triple candlestick aflame while we sang paschal hymns amidst the coloured lights in the trees. But that was just one moment of glory in a night of glory.
And then the following weekend I visited for the first time our Eritrean Orthodox brothers and sisters in Camberwell. However little I understood the words of the service, I could not fail to understand the spirit - and I have to say that I spent well nigh the whole of that liturgy aware that I was in heaven. To be in that Church, in that Liturgy was truly to be in heaven. And to be given the deacon?s cross to carry - what an honour. I felt truly blessed to be allowed to carry their cross throughout the liturgy. I really can?t improve on the words of Vladimir?s envoys: ?only this we know, that God dwells there among men, and that their service surpasses the worship of all other places. For we cannot forget that beauty.?
Last year I visited a Latvian Orthodox Liturgy and was conscious of light and glory and beauty? I was conscious of heaven. For I was with people for whom heaven had meant so much more than the things of this world, people who valued Orthodoxy enough to have suffered cruel persecutions at the hands of the atheist soviets. These were people who had found the pearl of great price and were prepared to pay anything, even to pay everything for it. To be with them in their liturgy was to be in heaven.
I dare say I?ve failed to articulate at all clearly what these liturgies meant to me - perhaps such things ultimately defy mere words...
Some weeks back I wrote this to someone (I stand by every word):
?I may never visit Ethiopia (though it is my desire to go on pilgriamge to Lalibela, to Addis Ababa, to Gondar, to Aksum...) but, no matter - it is enough for me to know that these things are so, it is enough for me to know that I, the least of all the Oriental Orthodox Christians, do inhabit these same spiritual galaxies. Perhaps I have something in common with those monks who had no need to walk to the next monastery to see the miraculous swinging chandalier - it was enough for them that they had heard of it.
"The holy men of the Syrian tradition... were strange creatures. They were not even thought to be men. They had passed beyond the limits of human existence and now stood between earth and heaven. They were alive and yet they had already died. They lived in the body and yet they had discarded it. They were themselves, and yet something else at the same time. They could pass through the gates of existence into a world that was simply beyond existence, where the distinctions we normally employ became meaningless."
?Such men are as far beyond me as are they are beyond most Christians and yet, and yet... I am in communion with those same altars where they did once communicate - I am of their universe.
"Several years ago, His Holiness Abuna Paulos remarked...that when he returned to Ethiopia after serving as a parish priest in New York, he began to realize that the affluent lives we led in North America and Europe had been purchased at a heavy price. We were comfortable, perhaps, but our eyes were closing and our ears were growing dull. Ethiopia might be poor, at least as the West would see it, but its people had laid up treasures of a spiritual kind that the West would need." Oh yes, oh yes - such treasures, such true and utter glory. And not in Ethiopia alone - but also in Egypt and in Armenia and Syria and away in India (to say nothing of our Eastern brethren with their spiritual riches and glory on Mount Athos and in Russia or in Kosovo...) Yes, this is my universe to which I belong. This is the air I breathe, even the air of another world?
?This is my world and I am glad of it - yea, I am glad that it is so. Perhaps what I have written makes no sense to you - nor to anyone else. Perhaps it makes not absolute sense to me who wrote it though I think it does. It matters not. What matters is that I am one with those men, that I am one with that Faith - that I KNOW that these things are real... they are more real than this computer at which I type or this chair on which I sit or even than me who sits here and writes. This is my beloved universe of Oriental Orthodoxy - and this Faith I shall keep even unto the last breath.
?Glory be to God for ever. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!?

My gut tells me right-click actions in browser-based applications are
unconventional and should not be introduced (and if it is already
introduced, should be removed). I also feel even though the
application is for the "enterprise", this is a moot point because
in the end it is still a browser-based application.
What are your thoughts on right-click actions in web applications?
What about specifically for "enterprise" applications? Should there
even be a difference?

Back in Bicycle Culture 1.0, at the turn of the last century, the sudden and massive societal shift that followed the invention of the bicycle was most profound because of the urban mobility that women enjoyed.
"Pretty girl on a bicycle" has been a cultural icon ever since, not least in Danish history and on this blog. Back then the visual delight that was overwhelming the streets of cities all over the world was used and exploited in many ways. Like the advert, above. It's for a barber and he's sucking in the reader with a headline that he knew would appeal. A fine example of the powerful symbol that is the Cycling Girl.
The bicycle craze of Bicycle Culture 1.0 caused many people to realise that they could make some money off of it. They tried to convince people that they needed special clothes for the simple act of riding a bicycle.
Above, it's 'bicycle wear' they're selling. You know what? It's just a corset. Virtually identical to all the corsets women already had in their closets. Like with all the modern 'cycling clothes' people are trying to sell you these days, in the midst of Bicycle Culture 2.0, the clothes in your closet are sufficent.
Anything you can walk in, you can ride a bicycle in, as we here at Cycle Chic show each and every day. Overcomplicating the issue with modern versions of this corset doesn't help mainstream cycling.
Seriously?... people are actually designing "urban cycling trousers". Oooh. they look like REGULAR jeans but they're for CYCLING. Get off my internet with this crap. How on earth have we cycled for 125 YEARS without products like these?! Pure profiteering - and overcomplication. Sending all the wrong messages.
All you need is a bicycle. All you've ever needed is a bicycle.
Now that we're returning the bicycle to its rightful place on the urban landscape and redemocratizing it for Citizen Cyclists, let's keep our eye on the ball and do it properly. Free of fear mongering and false products.
Just so we're clear on this... 'Cycle Chic' [as we coined the phrase] certainly means welcoming additions, developments and improvements on stuff people actually need. Gorgeous bike bells, for example. Things that make your bicycle lovely. Things that serve a practical design function for urban living in general. Thumbs up for all that.

A National Transportation Safety Board report summarizing a December 2009 helicopter crash in East Maui indicated that there was no time for the pilot to restart his engine after a "simulated forced landing" exercise as the chopper was "rapidly approaching ground."
The passenger in the chopper, a Federal Aviation Administration inspector who was performing a commercial pilot competency check, told investigators that he and the Sunshine Helicopters pilot "were both looking for a suitable field (to land in), but there were not a lot to choose from."
The only suitable landing site was where the chopper crashed, about 1.3 miles southeast of Hana, he said in the report.
Article Photos
A Sunshine Helicopters chopper had a total loss of power when a veteran pilot was undergoing a simulated forced landing with a Federal Aviation Administration inspector check pilot Dec. 16, 2009. The helicopter landed in this field. Both men suffered serious injuries.
National Transportation Safety Board photo
"He said the pilot did a good job trying to get to the field," the report said.
The pilot, Stephen Shull, acknowledged in the report that the helicopter was getting low, about 1,000 feet above the ground, so he didn't try to restart the engine. Instead, he looked for a place to land. The pilot said that there was a lot of grass and trees in the area and since trees could penetrate the helicopter, he picked the grass area to land, the report said.
Shull, 42, and his passenger, FAA inspector check pilot Donald Andera, 51, were seriously injured in the crash, the report said.
The two were flying in an Aerospatiale helicopter operated by Sunshine Helicopters out of Kahului on the afternoon of Dec. 16, 2009. The helicopter experienced a total loss of engine power during a simulated forced landing and impacted hard on uneven, downsloping terrain and was substantially damaged, the report said.
The National Transportation Safety Board released its factual report Thursday. The final report with probable cause information will be released later. An NTSB official said Monday that he did not know when that report would be issued.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said Monday that his agency does not comment on reports while it is in its investigation stages and referred questions to the NTSB.
A message left with a Sunshine Helicopters official Monday afternoon was not immediately returned.
In April, U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Kurren ruled that the FAA was not at fault in the incident in which the helicopter crashed after Andera initiated a simulated engine failure. Sunshine Helicopters, United States Aviation Underwriters Inc. and Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. filed lawsuits against the federal government, seeking damages for property and business loans. The crash destroyed the $1.5 million helicopter.
Andera testified that he moved the fuel control lever only slightly, but the plaintiffs claimed he pulled it too far.
After Kurren's ruling, Sunshine Helicopters President Ross Scott said his company would seek a reconsideration of the decision.
Shull, who has been described as a veteran pilot, had completed the oral portion of the examination and discussed with Andera, another veteran pilot, what would be done on the flight, including the simulated loss of engine power, during the round trip between Kahului and Hana airports.
In the report, Andera said the two men were flying about 3,000 feet above the ocean about 1 mile south of the Hana Airport when he said "simulated forced landing" to the pilot. Andera said there was no defined flight idle position to put the fuel flow control lever in (basically the throttle) to ascertain the power setting.
He brought the throttle out of the full open flight run position back toward flight idle in a position that kept it from springing back into the gate. The purpose of moving the throttle out of the gate was to be certain the engine was not supplying power during the maneuver, the report said.
Andera said in the report that he and the pilot had been briefed about this procedure prior to the flight; they were to recover with power before getting too low.
In the report, Andera said that among the actions the pilot took was to turn toward Hana Airport. The inspector questioned the pilot about if he thought they were going to make it to the airport. At that point, Andera believed the engine was no longer operating and moved the throttle all the way forward, but it appeared they were not going to get the engine back.
Shull said in the report that he became aware that the simulated forced landing had turned into a real forced landing when the helicopter yawed and the generator warning light started to illuminate.
The pilot said said he and Andera talked briefly about making it to Hana Airport once they realized the engine had stopped running. Shull decided that they did not have enough altitude to reach the airport and chose a landing spot, the report said.
Two days after the crash, officials observed that the helicopter had hit a vegetation covered lava rock formation, about 1 mile south of Hana Airport, the report said. The helicopter appeared to have bounced and traveled about 40 feet, rotating about 90 degrees to the right before coming to rest. The wreckage had signatures consistent with impact at a high vertical speed with relatively low forward speed.
The report said that an investigation revealed that the helicopter's engine had inadvertently shut down four prior times, including in a March 14, 2009, event. All four of the events occurred when the helicopter was on the ground and three of them occurred when pilots were bringing the throttle back to slow the engine speed to ground idle during the post-flight engine cool-down period, the report said.
With the exception of the March 14 event, none of the shutdowns were documented in the company system, the report added.
In an interview with The Maui News in May, Scott said the company did investigate the prior shutdowns and determined they occurred when pilots were not watching the Ng gauge, which monitors the speed of the engine.
Scott said that the company retrained everyone and didn't have an incident after that and that the engine was working fine when the FAA tested it.

Remove lime and calcium buildup from aquarium equipment with ease. Hydor Magi-Klean Pump and Accessory Cleaner simplifies routine maintenance of water pumps heaters, skimmers and more. Mix dry powder formula with water to create a soaking solution that effectively removes even the most stubborn lime and calcium deposits. Use Hydor Magi-Klean Pump and Accessory Cleaner to eliminate lime and calcium buildup on any equipment that can be removed from the aquarium. Contains three single dose pouches. Each pouch creates 1/2 gallon of soaking solution. Important: Magi-Klean must never be added directly to the aquarium.
General Information Magi-Klean is a powdered form of phosphonic acid, which can be used to safely remove calcium and lime deposits from your aquarium equipment. Simply add a packet of Magi-Klean to a container of water and place your dirty, calcium-encrusted equipment into the solution. Magi-Klean is not to be used inside the aquarium. The equipment may be soaked for up to 24 hours. You can enlist the aid of a firm bristle brush to remove the most stubborn build-up. Rinse the cleaned equipment thoroughly before reinstalling it into your aquarium.
Magi-Klean takes advantage of the fact that calcium and other buildup commonly found on aquarium equipment can be broken down by acidic solutions. Typically, aquarists have had to turn to relatively weak acids such as vinegar and citric acid to clean equipment. Such solutions require long soaks and intense scrubbing with less than desirable results. The obvious solution is to use a stronger acid like muriatic acid. The problem though is that really strong acids are dangerous and difficult to use safely. Magi-Klean is stronger than the traditional choices, allowing you to clean equipment more easily and in less time yet, it is safe for use by the home aquarist. The phosphonic acid used in Magi-Klean is the perfect solution.

ORLANDO (March 26, 2012) – On Wednesday, March 21, Harris Rosen, President and COO of Rosen Hotels & Resorts and the Harris Rosen Foundation and Honorary Consul General of Japan in Orlando, presented a $100,000 check to the Tohoku region of Japan and Urayasu, Japan to aid in relief efforts from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The announcement was made during a Japan Earthquake Relief check presentation ceremony held at 10 a.m. at the UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer was there to help present the check and spoke about Orlando's sister city relationship with Urayasu, Japan, which shares Orlando's roots in tourism as the home to Tokyo Disney Resort.
Last spring, Rosen pledged to raise funds to assist with much-needed relief efforts. At that time, Lake Highland Preparatory School students asked him to match dollar for dollar any monies they might raise. When they came to the table with an astounding $43,240, he honored that pledge to make a total donation of $86,440. Since then, other donations from Rosen Hotels & Resorts associates and other sources have brought that total to $100,000.
Mayor Dyer introduced exchange students from Urayasu, who conducted a brief presentation, sharing video and photos along with stories about their personal experiences involving the earthquake, the state of their homeland, relief efforts already in place and the resilient spirit of the Japanese people. The students also presented Rosen with a Japanese doll of friendship as a thank you for his efforts on their country's behalf.
"It was incredibly impactful to hear directly from the students about what they heard, saw and felt during the earthquake," said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. "I am incredibly honored that our community showed such an outpouring of support for the residents effected by the Japan earthquake and for Orlando's long-standing relationship with the residents of Urayasu."
The student presentation was followed by remarks from Rosen, who spoke about the need for relief in Urayasu and in the Tohuku region, which is one of the closest areas to the earthquake epicenter.
"As a young man in the military, I was stationed in Japan and developed an affection and appreciation for the Japanese people and their culture. Because of my time spent there and the relationships I formed, I was honored to take on the role of Honorary Consul General for Orlando and am honored to be able to assist in fundraising and relief efforts. In this role, I hope to help in being a good steward of the money raised by the students at Lake Highland Preparatory School and by Rosen Hotels & Resorts associates and all who have so generously contributed."
Rosen, Mayor Dyer and Jeff Turner, Special Assistant to the President for Leadership Development, Lake Highland Preparatory School, then presented a $100,000 check, which was accepted on behalf of the Japanese sister city by Takako Johnson, a member of the Mayor's International Advisory Committee. The presentation was followed by refreshments in the lobby.
This is the second time that Rosen has matched funds raised by LHPS. Two years ago, the student body raised more than $116,000 for earthquake victims in Haiti, another cause near and dear to Rosen's heart as more than one third of Rosen Hotels & Resorts associates are Haitian or of Haitian descent. Through his foundation, he also matched those funds, in addition to conducting numerous other fundraising, food and supply drives as part of his larger Relief-Rebuild-Sustain program for Haiti. Overall, the Harris Rosen Foundation has raised close to one million dollars for Haiti earthquake relief and continues to work on developing the low-cost, eco-friendly Little Haiti House Village.
Due to its competitive wages and outstanding associate benefit program, including the new Rosen Medical Center, A Place for Healing and Wellness, continuing education and language development programs, Rosen Hotels & Resorts has one of the lowest associate turnover rates in the hotel industry. Funding from the Harris Rosen Foundation has allowed for the creation of the Tangelo Park Project, which provides free preschool, college and vocational education to disadvantaged youth; the University of Central Florida's Rosen College of Hospitality Management; and the Jack and Lee Rosen Southwest Orlando Jewish Community Center. The Foundation also contributes to numerous charitable organizations throughout Central Florida and beyond each year.
The Rosen Hotels & Resorts family includes three award-winning convention properties, Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and Rosen Shingle Creek, and four leisure properties in the Orlando tourist corridor, including the Quality Inn International, Rosen Inn closest to Universal, Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando and Clarion Inn Lake Buena Vista.

Ousted Parkland leader lands new job, recalls 'spectacular medical failures'
Seven months after he was forced out, Parkland Memorial Hospital's former chief medical officer has a new job and new comments on the patient-safety crisis that led to a government crackdown.
Dr. John Jay Shannon will serve as chief of clinical integration at the Cook County Health & Hospitals System in Chicago. The Chicago Tribune reports that his responsibilities include overseeing operations at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital, which served as inspiration for the television show ER.
In an interview this week with the Tribune, Shannon was quoted as saying he was "proud of some of the accomplishments we made in Parkland" during his 2007-2012 tenure. He went on to say:
"But clearly we had some spectacular medical failures. And no one is proud of that, no one's happy about that. … I'm very sorry that I didn't see them across the finish line. They'll be going through a re-survey, and I'm quite sure they will be successful this time."
Shannon told the Tribune that he had worked closely with safety monitors installed by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services after a 2011 inspection found patients were in "immediate jeopardy." By April, Parkland is scheduled to undergo a re-inspection to test whether patient-care corrections are working.
Weeks before Shannon's sudden resignation last summer, the monitors had faulted Parkland's leadership for continuing care breakdowns. Those included a botched surgery, medication errors and emergency care problems.

So you want to see how he would do playing in a third or fourth line role with no special teams?
Why don't we try that with Johan Franzen. See what he does. He has spent most of the past few years on a line with either Datsyuk or Zetterberg, and has only beaten Kopecky's numbers from last year twice.
If Franzen is an elite scorer, that makes Kopecky a solid second-liner, right? He's not too different from Franzen physically or defensively. Franzen is a much better goal scorer, but Kopy is a better playmaker. If Kopy had Patrick Eaves' shot, he might be the better player.
Wait, what? When did Franzen enter this convo?
Its kind of telling that you have to resort to bashing a completely unrelated player in order to try to make a point about a guy like Tomas friggin Kopecky or Jason friggin Williams.
Btw, Franzen DID begin his career on the 4th line. And within several seasons he advanced his game significantly from a 4th line shutdown guy to a legit power foward. Surely you remember that magical February-March stretch in 08. Using your patented Hudler formula, what do his numbers project to if you only count the scoring of those two months? Like 90 goals a season?

Mysql 5.6 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Jose Luis Canciani
i've recently had to test some queries on Mysql 5.6. Here's a very quick help to install the latest version using the Oracle supplied .deb package.
Go to mysql.com and download the latest package in .deb format.
Install dependencies, the most important is libaio-dev:
sudo apt-get install libaio-dev
Now install the package:
sudo dpkg -i mysql-5.6.10-debian6.0-x86_64.deb
The package will install on /opt/mysql/server-5.6. Now we need to integrate this with our system, since it doesn't include setup scripts for doing it automatically.
First, lets create a user and group, and the data directory (you can place it anywhere, but if you change it leave a symbolink link or change the my.cnf file to reflect the new path):
sudo groupadd mysql sudo useradd -r -g mysql mysql cd /opt/mysql/server-5.6/ sudo mkdir data sudo chown mysql:mysql data
Now create the basic database, setup the config file and service, configurate log rotation and start the service:
sudo scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql sudo cp support-files/my-default.cnf /etc/my.cnf sudo cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql.server sudo cp support-files/mysql-log-rotate /etc/logrotate.d/mysql.server sudo service mysql.server start
We are done! Now just set up set the bin directory in the PATH so you can use the binaries anywhere you are:
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mysql/server-5.6/bin' | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/mysql.server.sh
Just open a new console/terminal and you should be able to run mysql client binary.

The Dorchester County Sheriffs Office is looking into the circumstances behind two unrelated shootings that occurred Tuesday evening.
The first incident occurred at about 11:20 Tuesday at a residence in Reevesville. According to a DCSO incident report, a deputy was dispatched to 4513 Wire Road at about 11:20 p.m. Tuesday in reference to a shooting. When the deputy arrived, he spoke with the complainant, who told him that an unknown black male subject shot his 19-year-old cousin. The deputy spoke to the victim, whom he found lying on his side in a middle bedroom with wounds in his side and foot. The victim said he did not know who shot him nor did he provide any information about the incident.
The deputy then spoke to the complainant again, who said he was in his bedroom when he heard a noise in the living room and then a gunshot. Upon hearing the shot, the complainant said he jumped out of bed, went into the hall, looked around a corner and saw an unknown black male subject holding a gun. He changed his story, however, saying he didnt see anyone or anything but heard an argument, two shots, and his cousin yelling, You shot me in the foot.
The complainant then said he went back into another room to get a shotgun but by the time he got back to the living room the subject had left the premises in a black pick up truck.
The deputy further noted that the complainant changed his story several times, but admitted that he does sell marijuana out of the residence, according to the report.
Another witness told the deputy that he, another individual, and the witness were sitting in the living room when someone knocked at the door. When the victim answered the door, an unknown black male with a gun in his hand told the victim he wasnt supposed to be there. The two scuffled, the gun went off twice, and the victim and the other individual were both hit; the other individual left the premises in his own vehicle. He was later found at a nearby residence with a gunshot wound in his buttocks, according to the report.
No one appears to know who the shooter is, according to the report.
A second, unrelated shooting occurred around 12:28 a.m. Tuesday in Summerville.
According to a DCSO incident report, a deputy responded to Summerville Medical Center in reference to a man being treated for a gunshot wound.
The deputy spoke to a woman who had brought the victim to the hospital. She told the deputy that the victim was with her an they had stopped at a gas station on Central Avenue to buy beer and were on their way to her home on Parsons Road when an unknown car got behind her and flashed the lights several times. She said she pulled over on Parsons Road near Gadsden Acres, the victim got out of the car to see what the driver of the car wanted, she heard several gunshots, and the victim got back into the car, stating he had been shot, and she drove him to the hospital, according to the report.
However, the victim reported that they were driving from the opposite end of Parsons Road, near West Richardson Avenue, when the vehicle flashed its lights, they pulled over along the big curve on Parsons, and he got out and ultimately got shot, according to the incident report.
The deputy then went to the gas station and spoke to the store clerk, who told him that the woman bought beer at the store, but she was not the driver of the vehicle; an unknown white male was. The clerk further stated he believes she lives on Parsons Road with a white male who may be her husband, according to the report.
The deputy then went to her residence and found a small red car with the dome light on and several drops of blood in the seat. Upon further investigation, the deputy found several shell casings nearby, as well as money lying on the ground, according to the report.
The deputy then knocked on the front door of the residence and a white male answered. According to the report, this individual had blood on his hands. The deputy asked him who else was in the residence and the man replied his three children were there in bed. The deputy then had the man come outside while other officers arrived on the scene to check out the house.
The children were there, and appeared to be fine, according to the report.
The car was towed to the impound lot and the woman was brought back to the sheriffs office to meet with investigators for more questioning.
Both investigations are ongoing, according to DCSO officials.

When moving to Northern California in 2004 from the traditional hot bed of lacrosse we call Baltimore, I certainly did not anticipate being in an area where in a matter of 5 years lacrosse would be pushing to the forefront of the college and high school scene. I am happy to share with the world that lacrosse has not only hit the west coast with force, it is here to stay.
The following blog entries will not only be my perspective on the game, but also highlight the individuals, the events, and the happenings that are growing the game we love and bringing it to new unprecedented levels on the west coast. From Phoenix Arizona, to Newport Beach California, to the Bay Area around San Francisco, to Portland Oregon, to the even Puget Sound area in Washington.
Check back in with me as I share this side of the country with you through my daily travels and interactions.

About this series
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. To help raise awareness, The Journal-Standard will feature a survivor's story each Tuesday.
FREEPORT — Not one to go see her doctor unless she is sick, Jane Miller, 80, of Rock City saw her life change in May 2012 when she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. The news caught her off guard.
It was a regular checkup with her doctor that prompted her to have a mammogram. She had let the screening go for several years.
"I have no good reason, I just kept putting it off," Miller said. "The nurse questioned me, they scheduled the appointment. I had no worries."
The screening showed a suspicious lump. The biopsy on the left breast tested positive for an invasive type of breast cancer. Miller was given her options. She had a lumpectomy. Her lymph nodes were clear. She did not have to have chemotherapy. Radiation lasted five weeks.
"I feel fortunate and my first thought was I was thankful it wasn't my daughter or granddaughter," she said. "I just didn't see it as a big deal. I didn't stress about it. I healed quickly."
Miller said at her age, she "knew things would be as they would be." Had she been younger with small children, Miller may have handled it differently, she said.
She never said, "why me?" She said because of her age, she didn't have fear. Her positive attitude, the support of her husband, Russell, and that of her children kept her going.
"I had no family history. Most people in my family lived to be a good age, so when I found out I had cancer, I was surprised, but I was aggravated with myself for letting my mammograms lapse. It was a lesson learned. I tell everyone, don't be like me. Get tested," she said.

LORETTO - When Maggie Biter and Barb Bender first began collecting holiday cards for troops stationed overseas, the volume of cards almost overwhelmed the pair.
During their holiday season in 1986, members of the Altar/Rosary Society at the Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel Church in Loretto collected 300 handwritten cards from area students and families.
Last year, the group collected 21,509 cards - enough to fill 21 large boxes destined for U.S. troops stationed overseas, Biter said.

Connor Semelsberger and Catherine Hull sort through cards collected for the Military Mail campaign at Bishop Carroll Catholic High School.
"They've just been so generous," Biter said. "We've just been overwhelmed by the generosity of everybody."
Students from area schools and universities, including St. Francis University, Mount Aloysius College, Bishop Carroll Catholic High School and Penn Cambria and Cambria Heights school districts, all donated cards with handwritten messages, Biter said.
St. Francis topped the list with more than 10,000 cards collected, said Marie Young, director of marketing and communications.
"It was a university and a community effort," Young said.
Students and faculty from the St. Francis military affairs office, dining services and the women's field hockey and swim teams all collected at least 100 cards, she said.
Students typically write a holiday greeting to the troops and express their thanks, said Joe Skura, Bishop Carroll public relations director.
"I was very impressed with the notes they had written inside" the 2,250 cards collected at Bishop Carroll, Skura said. "I'm just proud that our students are able to see the importance of doing things to brighten other people's days."
Bishop Carroll junior Alex Repko said he was proud of his fellow students' efforts.
"I thought it was important to give back [to the troops] because they give back so much to us," Repko said. "I always say thank you and pray for our soldiers."
The cards are sent to the Friends of Our Troops organization in Fayetteville, N.C., and then shipped to the soldiers, Biter said.
Schools also collected monetary donations to help cover the cost of postage for the cards, she added.
And it is not uncommon for the troops to return their thanks - students have sometimes received thank-you notes with foreign currency and pictures of the troops in return, Biter said.
While the quantity of cards was both "overwhelming" and humbling for the church, Biter said it is important the students write meaningful messages and let the troops know they have their support while away from home.
"You want it to mean something," Biter said. "It's so heart wrenching that you want to reach out to them."

The 2007 ALS Users' Meeting: A unique shared event
Contact: Julie McCullough,
This year's ALS Users' Meeting, held on October 4–6, was the first joint ALS/Molecular Foundry event, with a variety of shared activities, including plenary and poster sessions, a student poster competition, 3 of the 12 workshops, and a banquet. Another first was the dedication of two major facilities—the ALS User Support Building and the Berkeley Lab Guest House. In addition, a special session honored the memory of ALS Users Services Group Leader Gary Krebs. All told, 616 people attended, 396 from the ALS and 220 from the Molecular Foundry (MF). Thanks go to program co-chairs Peter Fischer and Ken Goldberg for organizing this highly successful ALS Users' Meeting.
ALS and MF meeting attendees mingle at Molecular Foundary for poster session and reception.
Graham Fleming, Deputy Director of Berkeley Lab, welcomed the meeting attendees, then introduced ALS Division Director Roger Falcone, who gave a comprehensive overview of the last 12 months and a look into the ALS's future. Carolyn Bertozzi, Division Director of the MF, said the marriage between the ALS and MF has already had a profound impact, with ten percent of existing MF projects already using the ALS beamlines. Pat Dehmer (Associate Director of Science for Basic Energy Sciences [BES], U.S. Department of Energy [DOE]) outlined how BES identified the basic science needed to meet future energy needs, stating that light sources will be among the most powerful. Michael Lubell (Director of Public Affairs, American Physical Society) took the audience through the convoluted political Washington landscape as he talked about the history of the ALS budget over the last two years.
Nobel Prize recipient and ALS user Roger Kornberg kicked off the joint keynote science session with a talk on the molecular basis of eukaryotic transcription. (Keynote talks and science highlights were presented on Thursday and Friday; Friday afternoon and Saturday were dedicated to workshops.) After the session, the conference moved outside to the groundbreaking ceremony for the ALS User Support Building. Graham Fleming thanked DOE and BES for funding the project, noting that the building was a "win-win for Berkeley Lab, the DOE, the scientists, and the graduate students."

That afternoon, Graham Fleming led the Joint ALS-MF science highlight session with an examination of the Grand Challenges for Basic Energy Sciences. A session devoted to ALS updates was led by ALS Operations and Accelerator Physics Leader David Robin, who discussed planned upgrades and additions. ALS Environment, Safety, and Health manager Jim Floyd and Scientific Advisor Janos Kirz updated the users on ALS safety initiatives and other ALS user affairs.
The meeting moved to the Molecular Foundry for the joint poster session and vendor exhibits. Later, at the banquet on the ALS patio, co-chairs Ken Goldberg and Peter Fischer presented the Users' Executive Committee (UEC) awards. The Shirley Award for outstanding scientific achievement went to Alessandra Lanzara and Eli Rotenberg for their pioneering work on graphene. The Halbach Award for innovative instrumentation was won by Senajith Rekawa and Paul Denham for their nanoposition devices for EUV lithography projects. The Renner User Service Award went to Gary Giangrasso. The student poster awards went to Mikel Holcomb (first place), Rouin Farshchi (second place), and Joanna Bettinger (third place), all UC Berkeley students.

Friday morning was devoted to UEC business, an ALS town hall meeting, and ALS science highlights. Then, at a special session, friends remembered User Services Group Leader Gary Krebs, who passed away suddenly in May. Members of Gary's family were also present. Janos Kirz affirmed the sentiments of those who knew Gary, saying that he "appreciated, valued, and admired Gary's character and integrity, and his passion in helping users." At the groundbreaking ceremony for the Berkeley Lab Guest House, Tony van Buuren, UEC chair, stated that the new building will "up" the quality of the science at the ALS and emphasized how instrumental Gary was in making the building a reality. A plaque honoring Gary will be placed in the Guest House. For more meeting highlights, see the Users' Meeting Web site.
Surprising quasiparticle interactions in graphene
Contact: Eli Rotenberg,
Until now, the world's electronics have been dominated by silicon, whose properties, while excellent, significantly limit the size and power consumption of today's computer chips. In order to develop ever smaller and more efficient devices, scientists have turned their attention to carbon, which can be formed into nanostructures like nanotubes, whose properties can be tuned from metallic to semiconducting. However, using carbon nanotubes for complex circuits is nearly impossible because their location and functionality in devices cannot be controlled at will, making them a poor substitute for silicon. Graphene, however, does not have these limitations. This single sheet of carbon atoms that is the building block of carbon nanotubes, C60 molecules, and graphite turns out to have similar functionality but with the added benefit that it can be grown with conventional methods and patterned into devices. Now, a group of scientists from Germany and the ALS, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) at ALS Beamline 7.0.1, have succeeded in making the first measurement of the carrier lifetime in graphene over a wide energy scale and have found surprising new interactions that suggest new kinds of devices.

Workshop on "Science for a New Class of Soft X-Ray Light Sources": A rousing success
Contact: Bill McCurdy,
Roughly 80 scientists from the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan participated in a workshop on October 8–10 on the subject of "Science for a New Class of Soft X-Ray Light Sources." Ten plenary talks were followed by intense discussions in breakout groups on science in the general areas of atomic, molecular, and optical physics; chemical physics; correlated materials; magnetization and spin dynamics; and nanoscale materials and coherent imaging. The parameters of the class of light sources addressed in the workshop were defined primarily by a maximum photon energy of ~3 keV. The pulse duration could be from attoseconds to picoseconds. The results of this workshop will help to define which parts of this parameter space should be targeted in the design of these sources, as well as what kind of science they would initially address.
The ALS welcomes Sue Bailey as User Services Group Leader
Sue Bailey recently joined the ALS as leader of the User Services Group, which includes the User Services Office, Communications Section, and Experimental Setup Coordination. She brings to her new position over 20 years of scientific, software, and managerial experience. Sue also has the perspective of working at two synchrotron facilities, Daresbury Synchrotron Radiation Source in the United Kingdom and the ALS. At Daresbury, she was the group leader and user point of contact in the European community for a protein crystallography computational project and led her own research team on structure-function relationships of bacterial metalloproteins. She also performed research on enzymes in the sulphur cycle and secretion systems of pathogenic bacteria.
In 2003, Sue came to the ALS for a two-year stint as a beamline scientist in the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology. This evolved into a position as the BCSB's user support manager for the ALS protein crystallography beamlines. Sue returned to England and to Daresbury, but was soon lured back to the Bay Area and the ALS. "I'm pleased and honored to again be part of this world-class facility," she stated. "I have an open-door policy, and all users are welcome to drop in." Sue's office is in Building 6, Room 2212D, within the User Services Office. You can also contact her by email at
UEC Corner: Users' Executive Committee elections begin November 1
