Jim Lee: Arrested
16 May - 5 June 2012 (This event has passed)
In a career spanning 50 years, photographer and film maker Jim Lee started out photographing bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones; he rose to fame in the 1960s as a fashion photographer, working with designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Gianni Versace and Ossie Clark.
To coincide with the launch of his biography, Arrested, Jim showcased a collection of images, films and memorabilia in an exhibition which captured an age of fashion revolution and cultural upheaval. All works in the exhibition were for sale.

Mitt Romney's awkwardness on the stump has become a persistent theme in the 2012 primary season. He sings usually off-key patriotic ditties, and makes asides as when he called the Southern primaries an "away game." It might make not a few Republican consultants cringe at the seeming regularity in which Romney goes off-message.
But there might be a hint of shrewdness in these alleged gaffes. For instance in Tennessee, Romney came in for a little razzing because he sang the Davy Crockett theme. Personally, I believe Romney would have been better off singing "Rocky Top," a sure winner in the Volunteer State, but the invoking of the Fess Parker show was in fact a good call. As a child, I remembered a jingle about pigs joyously wanting to become processed pork and a song about Smith Douglas Fertilizer. Perhaps Romney realizes that invoking television nostalgia specifically from the late 1950s and early 1960s might be wise.
Certainly it is not offensive and in many respects quite endearing. In most of the cases, you find yourself laughing with Mitt rather than at him. Indeed any mid-American humor seems to draw scorn in that it is more wholesome than hilarious.
Chris Matthews made a big deal about Romney's crowds appearing like "androids" simply because they were restrained and orderly cheering their hero. To be reserved used to be the standard of behavior at all events, not just political rallies.
For quite a few Americans, Romney's style might prove a comfort in an age of exhibitionism and overstatement.
Too often sophistication is seen as disdain. Romney for his cultural critics appears stiff and scripted. But maybe they like it that way. Richard Nixon made a living off what he called "the squares." This was not meant as a criticism, but a celebration of solidity.
For too many Americans, society is way too interested in the so-called cool and clever.
Ronald Reagan, although now remembered as the "great communicator," was scorned for presumably making off-the- wall statements. When he called Vietnam "a noble cause" five years after Saigon fell to the Communists, it was widely seen as a mistake. In November 1980, it was proven not to have hurt, but marginally helped Reagan to win the presidency.
Almost everything Reagan said was open to scrutiny, and in each case, he came out ahead.
Politics reflect a vision of what people want their lives to represent - bad jokes, rhetorical slips or whatever. If they are made in an open spirit, they are rarely dismissed as inappropriate. It plays to the vulnerable in all of us. Romney knows this and he knows his voters.
Nixon wore a tie everywhere, sometimes on the beach, Reagan went around Darlington raceway in a suit. No attempt was made to be one of the crowd - it was a gesture of appreciation done in their own way and on their own terms.
Whether or not his critics know it, Romney is quite comfortable being Mitt.
Now that does not excuse Romney on policy, but it is a warning that Democrats should not think they can ridicule him to defeat. Every time the Democratic Party tries to emphasize style and not substance against the GOP, they lose.
Many voters are not sold on who is the most articulate or witty.
If Romney is to be defeated, he needs to be confronted on the issues, not on his presumed social discomfort.

Red Hat to open SA office
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux vendor Red Hat is to open an office in South Africa. Starting Monday
| Red Hat will have an SA-based country manager who will be responsible for the
| Southern Africa market on behalf of the company.
There are already some mass migrations to Linux in SA businesses (even a large
bank that moved 13,000 desktops), which leaves Microsoft worried and
South Africans donât understand OSS - Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite having an open source strategy the South African government doesnât
| really understand how to benefit from OSS. This is according to Microsoft
| director of corporate standards, Jason Matusow. Matusow, who was in South
| Africa on an âexternal outreachâ trip around the time SA adopted ODF as a
| national standard, writes on his blog that not only does government not
| understand how to benefit from open source software, but South Africans were
| unlikely to ever do any âdeepâ development work on Linux.
South Africa appeals against OOXML, call your Standards Body now!
,----[ Quote ]
| The South African Standards Body SABS have lodged an appeal at ISO against
| the awful fast-track process of DIS29500, or Microsoft Office OpenXML. Please
| call your national Standards Body and ask them to support this complain. You
| have only 7 days because the deadline is 30 May, 2 months after the ISO vote.
| Steve Pepper, being so disgused about the intervention of a Norwegian
| bureaucrat reverting the decision of the Norwegian Technical Committee, is
| pointing at the fact that this person is also member of the ISO Technical
| Management Board (TMB), who will decide on the future of this appeal. I hope
| we will have some transparency on who is deciding what inside ISO on this
| appeal. It is time for ISO to clean up its stables, they have not been
| cleaned for several years, and they are getting dirty and smelly.

| Beveridge explains that the biggest implemetation project currently underway

Government, NGOs 'turning to Linux'
,----[ Quote ]
| "It's extremely easy - basically anyone can install Linux now."
| Organisations such as the Shuttleworth Foundation, which help provide

South Africa adopts ODF as a national standard
,----[ Quote ]
| The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) on Friday approved the Open
| Document Format (ODF) as an official national South African standard. The
| adoption of ODF by South Africa opens the way for the businesses and

The H5N1 strain of bird flu virus, which has already killed 46 people, has recently re-emerged with more ducks and geese found to be infected with the strain avian flu.
Thai Public Health Minister Sudarat Keyuraphan Khunying Sudarat said livestock officials are recruiting farmers to volunteer and train them on how to identify infected fowl and people.
She said the authorities expected to train some 7,500 volunteers within this month and would deploy one of them in every area at risk in Bangkok to closely monitor bird flu victims.
The minister met with about 100 poultry farmers in Lat Phrao District and surrounding areas and expressed her concern regarding the conventional way of raising chickens that could pose a threat to human health.
''I am worried as chickens live in close contact with farmers and villagers who keep hens, fighting cocks or pet chickens,'' she said.
She told the farmers and the villagers to seek advice from local livestock officials on precautionary measures against bird flu and other epidemics in fowls.
Khunying Sudarat said the government had planned to close cock fighting rings in the capital, but would allow services that carry out blood tests for bird flu virus in poultry every month to continue.

Five Great Language Arts Curriculums!
Its curriculum shopping season and as you are browsing catalogs, hitting up conventions, and scouring the web, you may ask yourself what the BEST curriculum is. Well, the truth of the matter is there is NO perfect curriculum. However, we can break it down and help you find a great curriculum that works for your family.
Here are five of the many great Language Arts curriculums out there!
- Rod and Staff– This is what we use and I love it! It is simple, it is thorough and it is inexpensive. Published by Mennonites it has terms that some kids may not recognize, but overall would fit most families. It is religious based, and uses scripture throughout the books. The teacher's manuals are essential for full use of the curriculum.
- Sonlight– This curriculum is known as one of the top literature based programs out there. It is full of great books, fantastic grammar and spelling programs, and is all inclusive. It is religious based, however, they now have a program called BookShark that has the same format and lesson plans without the religious content.
- Veritas Press– Based on the classical approach to education; Veritas Press is a comprehensive Christian curriculum. Their grammar program gets great reviews!
- Essentials in Writing- This program contains DVD's that teach writing skills for 1st-12th graders. Also includes worksheets to go along with the lessons. One of the top picks from homeschool moms on this post.
- Abeka– Abeka is known for its comprehensive curriculum and is used in various private schools around the country. You can buy a full language arts kit, or just certain parts of it. Another top pick from homeschool moms
These are just a few of the many great Language Arts curriculums out there. You can see some of these and many more at the Southeast Homeschool Expo!

Religious oppression is happening to a majority of people around the world, according to a new study.
The Pew Research Center found that 70 percent of the world's population faces religious restrictions that keep them from openly practicing their faith.
Countries most affected include China, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.
For more on why those countries are at the top of the list, CBN News spoke with Pew researcher Brian Grim.

The future of the NBA is awfully bright with this next generation of stars currently taking the league by storm.
LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant and a host of others hold the headlines today, but it won't be too many years before they're relegated to retirement or emeritus elite status.
Time moves quickly.
The development of promising youngsters like Ricky Rubio, DeMarcus Cousins, Greg Monroe, Damian Lillard and Kemba Walker means they'll likely be stars for a long time.
Yet even they didn't make our list.
Assistant NBA Editors Ethan Norof and Joel C. Cordes tab the next wave of talent which is poised to eventually become the league's face and driving force.

Rising above the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill is supposedly where the city of Rome was founded, and is home to some of its most ancient remains. In a way it's a greener, more pleasant site to tour than the Forum. In the days of the Republic, the Palatine was the most desirable address in Rome (the word "palace" is derived from Palatine), and big names continued to colonize it during the imperial era, trying to outdo each other with ever larger and more magnificent dwellings.
Along the main path up from the Forum, the Domus Flavia was once one of the most splendid residences, and, to the left, the top level of the gargantuan Domus Augustana spreads to the far brink of the hill. You can look down from here on its vast central courtyard with fountain and wander to the brink of the deep trench of the Stadium. On the far side of the Stadium, the ruins of the Domus and Baths of Septimius Severus cling to the side of the hill, while the large grey building nearby houses the Museo Palatino, which contains an assortment of statuary, pottery and architectural fragments that have been excavated on the Palatine during the last 150 years. In the opposite direction from the Domus Flavia is the Cryptoporticus, a long passage built by Nero to link the vestibule of his Domus Aurea with the Palatine palaces, and decorated with well-preserved Roman stuccowork at the far end, towards the House of Livia – originally believed to have been the residence of Livia, the wife of Augustus, though now identified as simply part of the House of Augustus – the set of ruins beyond, open only at certain times. Climb up the steps by the entrance to the Cryptoporticus and you're in the bottom corner of the Farnese Gardens, among the first botanical gardens in Europe, laid out by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese in the mid-sixteenth century and now a tidily planted retreat from the exposed heat of the ruins. At the far end of the gardens are the traces of an Iron Age village that perhaps marks the real centre of Rome's ancient beginnings.

Dear Abby: I have been in a relationship with the man of my dreams for five years. Everything is great between us except for one huge thing – we are no longer intimate.
I have recently come to the realization that this isn't the first time I have had this problem. I always thought it was an issue with the relationship, but now I suspect it may be linked to molestation I suffered when I was a child. At that time I was told "people who love you don't touch you like that." Logically I know this is different, but my partner tells me I just freeze up when we are together.
I think I need professional help, but I'm embarrassed and don't know where to start. Do I need a therapist? How do I locate a good one in my area?
– Reaching Out in Cleveland
Dear Reaching Out: Please accept my sympathy. Considering your history, what you're experiencing is understandable, and yes, you need to talk to a therapist. The therapy should have started at the time you were molested. To find a "good one," ask your physician to refer you to several so you can find a person you feel comfortable talking with. Please do not be embarrassed to be frank, because most therapists have heard everything. It isn't their job to judge you, only to help you. None of this was your fault, and your problem is fixable.
Vacation woes
Dear Abby: My husband, kids and I moved out of state seven years ago, leaving behind our extended families. Now, whenever we plan a vacation in our home state, we encounter the same issues. The first is trying to accommodate everyone's schedule into our own. The second is dividing our time between my family and my husband's. (His family is smaller than mine.)
Is it fair to divide the time in half – half for his family and half for mine – even though I have so many more relatives on my list? Or should we divide our time by the number of households we need to see? These issues cause my husband and me to argue, and it makes what is supposed to be a vacation very unpleasant. I already feel like canceling the trip.
– Vacation Issues
Dear Vacation Issues: A solution would be to have two large family get-togethers – one for your family and another for his – during your visit. Then, if you want to visit with the relatives from the two branches of the families individually, you can "divide and conquer." He can spend as much time as he wishes with his relatives, and you can spend time with yours.

BOONSBORO, Md. - Seven couples renewed their wedding vows at Fahrney-Keedy Home and Village in Boonsboro, Md., recently in the facility's main dining room. The ceremony occurred in front of more than a hundred residents, staff and family members.
The couples, and some escorts for persons in wheelchairs, made their way through the room toward a wedding arch and the Rev. Sharon Peters, chaplain at Fahrney-Keedy. The procession was accompanied by traditional wedding music from Debbie Slifer on keyboard and Trish Coulter on violin.
Nancy Sansone and her husband Eugene were among those renewing vows.
Article Photos
Patricia and Stephen Robertson enjoy refreshments after the ceremony in which they and six other couples renewed their wedding vows at Fahrney-Keedy Home & Village.
"There are more people here than there were at my first wedding ceremony," she said.
Other couples renewing their vows included Benjamin and Blanche Litten, William and Louise Adams, Kenneth and Mary Bowman, Stephen and Patricia Robertson, Samuel and Wanda Shank and Richard and Gertrude McGowan. Most of these folks are residents at Fahrney-Keedy.
Each bride carried fresh flowers as she made her way once again to the altar. The processional was led by honorary flower girl and ring bearer Molly and Connor Weaver, children of Cassandra Weaver, vice president of operations at Fahrney-Keedy.
Tears of joy were evident throughout the room as Peters conducted the renewal of vows portion of the ceremony for each participant. Each couple commented on the time and place of their respective original weddings. It was noted that two of the couples had been married for 70 years.
The large wedding party received cheers from those in attendance when, after being pronounced "still wed," they sealed their promises with kisses.
"The only thing that would make this day better would be if I could take my husband home with me," Patricia Robertson said. Her husband is a resident in the nursing home.
At a reception after the ceremony, all those in attendance enjoyed wedding cake, and Cassandra Weaver offered the brides and grooms a toast of wishes for continued love and good health.
The wedding-vow-renewal event was the idea of resident Doris Warfield, who suggested it at a Dining Committee meeting.
"We were looking for our big event (that would entertain residents) for the month, and, since June is big for weddings, it was a natural fit," said Sue Hobbs, activities director at Fahrney-Keedy.
Fahrney-Keedy Home and Village, a continuing care retirement community, is along Md. 66 a few miles west of Boonsboro. With nearly 200 full- and part-time employees, it serves a resident population of almost 200 women and men in independent living, assisted living and long- and short-term nursing care.

Petland/Animal Services deal finds homes for pets
A partnership involving Petland Canada Inc. and Alberta Animal Services appears to be growing — to the benefit of homeless dogs and cats.
The Calgary-based retailer of pets and related supplies began phasing out the sale of puppies and kittens in 2011. Its 21 corporate-owned stores have instead been displaying rescue pets and other unwanted animals, including those from Alberta Animal Services in Red Deer.
To date, 130 dogs and 203 cats have been adopted through the local Petland.
The store is currently undergoing renovations, which Amy Pawson, Petland's director of operations, said will create an in-house adoption centre. She said the new facility is being developed in conjunction with Alberta Animal Services, and will enable them to expand their pet placement program.
Pawson said the centre is expected to open this spring, but declined to provide further details. She explained that Petland and Alberta Animal Services want to wait until the formal launch.
"We're excited about it, but we don't want to give too much away."
Currently, the Red Deer Petland has about a half-dozen pens for dogs and twice that number for cats. Pawson said the success of the store's partnership with Alberta Animal Services reflects a willingness on the part of both parties to work together, and be flexible and creative.
"Red Deer has probably been the most progressive relationship that we've had."
Erica Coomber, shelter administrator with Alberta Animal Services, said Petland's work with her organization has been invaluable in helping it find homes for animals.
Before they stopped selling puppies and kittens, Petland stores did set aside space for animal shelters to display homeless cats and dogs.

Thanks for helping us sort this video!
Thanks for helping us associate the correct Pornstars to this video!
Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
thr girl was hot, but she didn't look like she enjoyed anything except kissing the other woman. Those 2 would make agood video
im a saudi with a big dick
The young one is learning the assitant however would make a great vid!
creampies Jim???
I'm in love
I wish to see your friend also... she is hot
Very pretty girl but it was like Jim doing a corpse. She didn't put anything into it.
nice cumshot
I think she liked kissing the woman more than anything else. That was the only time she smiled. She has a really nice cunt, but is a poor cocksucker. Not good for an aspiring porn star.
Super hot. Way hotter girls on here than on the back room casting couch!
Yawn. Send her back to the country, and have the translator -- who would probably be a lot more enthusiastic -- stay.

Fostoria has selected its new police chief.
Safety Service Director Allyson Murray said Tuesday night that Keith Loreno, currently the city's fire chief, was selected Tuesday to become the next police chief.
Loreno is to serve only as the police chief, Murray said.
Mayor Eric Keckler said Loreno was approved at Tuesday's city council meeting and will be sworn in at the next council meeting May 6.
Loreno was hired as the city's fire chief in 2010 and previously served as an investigator for the State Fire Marshal's Office.
Attempts to contact Loreno Tuesday night were unsuccessful.
Other applicants for the police chief position included Detective Sgt. Don Joseph of the Seneca County Sheriff's Office and Capt. Patrick Brooks of the Fostoria Police Department. Brooks has been serving as captain in charge of police operations at the department following former police Chief John McGuire's medical leave more than a year ago.
McGuire announced his retirement in December.

- Full Description
This monograph details several important advances in the area known as the proofs-as-programs paradigm, a set of approaches to developing programs from proofs in constructive logic. It serves the dual purpose of providing a state-of-the-art overview of the field and detailing tools and techniques to stimulate further research. One of the book's central themes is a general, abstract framework for developing new systems of program synthesis by adapting proofs-as-programs to new contexts, which the authors call the Curry--Howard Protocol. This protocol is used to provide two novel applications for industrial-scale, complex software engineering: contractual imperative program synthesis and structured software synthesis. These applications constitute an exemplary justification for the applicability of the protocol to different contexts. The book is intended for graduate students in computer science or mathematics who wish to extend their background in logic and type theory as well as gain experience working with logical frameworks and practical proof systems. In addition, the proofs-as-programs research community, and the wider computational logic, formal methods and software engineering communities will benefit. The applications given in the book should be of interest for researchers working in the target problem domains.

Tracy making a point to get everyone playing time
June 21, 2012 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT
STATE COLLEGE – There seemed to be an air of relaxation around the Williamsport Crosscutters last night that hadn't been present the first two nights of the season. Even after an opening-night win over State College, the clubhouse at Bowman Field was unusually quiet. The same after a tough loss Tuesday.
But in the midst of the Cutters' 13-run explosion in Wednesday's win over the Spikes, at-bats seemed to be more relaxed, leading to better approaches and more hard-hit balls. First-year manager Andy Tracy has made a point over the first three games of the year to get as many players on the Williamsport roster into games as possible.
In fact, through the first three games of the season, only two of the 27 players on the roster have yet to appear in a game, and those are pitchers Luis Gonzalez and Delvin Perez, one of which will start today's series opener against Auburn at Bowman Field.
"I'm just trying to get everyone in the lineup because I know how it is to be a bench guy and not play for a while, especially at the beginning of the year when you get antsy," Tracy said following Wednesday's 13-1 win. "We're going to get everyone in as much as you can. But obviously, you stick with the staples the organization wants you to play."
Tracy found an opportunity during Williamsport's onslaught last night to get both Trey Ford and Kevin Quaranto their first at-bats of the season. Ford, who has shown excellent power during batting practice, made the most of the opportunity by doubling in his lone at-bat. Quaranto was able to get an AB as well as a couple innings as a catcher.
The coaching staff also made sure to get Zach Cooper into the game to pitch the ninth inning in his professional debut because he hadn't been used yet. Following Tuesday night's loss to State College, Tracy said he would have to see how his team responded Wednesday after most of his players got their first professional experience in the first two games.
The team appeared to play more relaxed pounding out 17 hits offensively as four pitchers held the Spikes to just one hit.
"I'm pretty sure everyone is relaxed," Walding said after going 4-for-5 with four RBIs. "This is pretty much everybody's first minor league game. It was definitely everyone getting it out of the way. No everyone is just sitting back and just letting it happen."
"I think it's been a whirlwind first two nights," Tracy said. "We're at home, then we get on the bus and it's the first game on the road. Finally you get a little tired and maybe you get a little more sleep. I was talking to them and they're all able to get into their host family's bed and relax and get a good night's sleep. Then it just turns into a regular day for them."
BACK TO THE FUTURE: Three former Williamsport Crosscutters players, and five total current or former Phillies minor league prospects were selected to the Major League Baseball Futures game Thursday. The Futures game is a team of the best minor leaguers from the United States and the best from around the world playing against each other the Sunday before the MLB All-Star game in Kansas City.
Current Phillies prospects Lisalverto Bonilla and Julio Rodriguez were selected to play in the game. Former Phillies prospects Jonathan Singleton, Anthony Gose and Travis D'Arnaud were also selected.
Singleton was traded to Houston in last year's deal for Hunter Pence. He's currently playing for Class AA Corpus Cristi. Gose was traded to Houston in 2010 as part of the deal to bring Roy Oswalt to Philadelphia. He was immediately dealt to Toronto for Brett Wallace and is currently playing at Class AAA Las Vegas in the Pacific Coast League.
D'Arnaud is also currently playing for Class AAA Las Vegas in the Toronto system. D'Arnaud was a part of the deal in 2010 that brought Roy Halladay to Philadelphia. D'Arnaud was named the No. 3 catching prospect in all of baseball by MLB.com during the offseason. He played for the Crosscutters in 2008 when he hit .309 with four home runs and 25 RBIs in 48 games.
Bonilla pitched in 10 games for the Crosscutters in 2010, posting a 1-3 record with a 6.49 ERA. In 25 games this year between high Class A Clearwater and Class AA Reading, Bonilla has posted a 3-2 record with a 1.95 ERA and 51 strikeouts in 37 innings.
Rodriguez was the Cutters' opening day starter in 2010 and pitched in seven games for Williamsport that year. He was 2-2 with a 2.65 ERA. In Class AA Reading, Rodriguez has posted a 4-1 record and a 2.85 ERA in 13 starts. He won 16 games in 27 starts a year ago in Clearwater.

Mr. Rotary: Bajat named on Rotary's national board of directors
Abbeville's little Rotary Club just got put on the international map thanks to the new appointment of Noel Bajat to the Rotary International Board of Directors. He will be one of 17 to sit on the board.
The news was announced at Wednesday's weekly meeting.
"I love Rotary," said Bajat. "I love what it stands for."
Rotary International is the world's largest service organization with a membership totaling 1.2 million business and professional leaders.
This organization is governed by a 19 member board of directors, two of whom are the president and president-elect.
As one of the other 17 board members, Noel will bring national and international attention to the Rotary Club of Abbeville, said long-time Abbeville Rotarian Don Chauvin. Typically, Rotary directors will invite other directors into their community bringing an awareness of our Cajun culture in exchange for learning about the other directors' culture, Chauvin added.
The Rotary International Conference will be held in New Orleans in May of 2011 providing another major opportunity for foreign dignitaries to visit our city.
"As an RI Director, Noel will serve as a Louisiana ambassador of goodwill to all areas of the world," Chauvin said.
Bajat is currently president/chief executive officer and director of Abbeville Building & Loan.
He has been a member of four Rotary Clubs and is currently a member of the Rotary Club of Abbeville where he served as president in 1993-94. He served as District 6200 Governor in 1998-99.
He is the recipient of his club's Rotarian of the Year Award, the Rotary Foundation District Service Award, the District 6200 Governors Cup Award, The Rotary Foundation Citation for Meritorious Service, The Rotary Foundation Distinguished Service Award and the Rotary International "Service above Self" Award.
He is currently serving as the Foundation Coordinator and Governor Elects Trainer for the 2008 Institute in Boise, ID.
He has served Rotary International as a Zone Coordinator for Avoidable Blindness; Zone Leader for the Polio Eradication Fundraising Campaign; RI Presidents' Representative in England, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Newfoundland and Virginia; National Advisor to the Permanent Fund; Committee Member of the 2004 Osaka International Institute; Delegate to the 2004 Council on Legislation; Training Leader at the 2004 International Assembly in Anaheim, CA and Training Leader and the Hospitality Chair at the 2005 International Assembly in Anaheim, CA. He served as a Facilitator for the 2006 Malmo Copenhagen Rotary International Convention and as a Facilitator for the 2007 Salt Lake City Rotary International Convention. At the Los Angeles International Convention in June, 2008, Noel and his wife "Sis" served as the Rotary Senior Leader Sergeant-at-Arms for president elect D.K. Lee and his wife Young. He is currently serving in his third and last year as Regional Rotary Foundation Coordinator for Zone 26.
Noel has also been a guest speaker at numerous clubs, District President Elect Training Seminar, District Assemblies, District Conferences and Institutes in several states and in England, Japan and Canada.
He and his wife "Sis" are Major Donors, Benefactors, Charter Members of the Bequest Society and Members of the Paul Harris Society of the Rotary Foundation. They also are members of the White Hat Society.
They have four grown children and seven grandchildren. Sis is also an Honorary Rotarian of the Rotary Club of Abbeville.

But what about shellfish?
A popular strategy employed by those who oppose Christian teaching about homosexual behaviour, is to point to other Old Testament laws which Christians don't seem to be concerned about. Why do Christians believe that Leviticus 18:22 ought to be obeyed, which says that it is unlawful for a man to lie with another man, while not putting Leviticus 19:27 into practice which forbids clipping the edges of one's beard? Or Leviticus 11:9-11 which forbids the eating of shellfish and other such sea-foods. Why are some parts of the Old Testament law highlighted and attempts made to abide by them, while others seem to be ignored? In short, which bits of the Old Testament law should we follow?
The question can be answered by addressing a slightly different question which is this: what is a Christian person's relationship to the Old Testament law? Jesus himself gives a very clear answer to this question. In Matthew 5: 17 – 19 he says:
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
Jesus is very clear about the relationship of his people to the law. They are not to abolish even the smallest of the laws. However, the way they are to relate to the Old Testament laws is that they are to fulfil them. The Christian person then does not set aside any of the laws of the Old Testament – including the strange ones about not eating cuttlefish, and not wearing clothes made out of two different fabrics woven together, as well as the ones about human sexuality, and coveting and the rest. The Christian person does not set them aside, but fulfils them. This doesn't mean living by every detail of the Old Testament law, but it does mean fulfilling it.
This then raises the question, what does it mean to fulfil the law?
Jesus Christ himself has fulfilled the law. This means that for those who believe in him, Jesus is 'the end of the law' (Romans 10:4) and he has made the Old Covenant (which contains the Old Testament laws) obsolete (Hebrews 8:13). In other words, those who believe in Jesus fulfil the law.
That is, we do not have to sacrifice lambs or bulls when we sin, as the Old Testament law required (Leviticus 4 – 5). But we have fulfilled this command by putting our trust in the Lamb of God whose sacrifice has truly cleansed our consciences and removed our guilt.
But if we who believe in Jesus fulfil the law – then does that mean we have also fulfilled all the Old Testament commands about human sexuality and not coveting and not murdering and so on, and therefore don't have to abide by these laws? We have indeed fulfilled these laws by trusting in the one man who perfectly abided by God's law; however that does not mean that we no longer abide by these particular laws. The question, again, is: what does it mean to fulfil these laws? Again, the New Testament tells us in Romans 13: 8 – 10:
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet", and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: "You shall love your neighbour as yourself." Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
That is, we go on fulfilling the Old Testament laws about not murdering and honouring our parents and about our sexuality and about not coveting by loving our neighbour as ourselves. That is, the commands which are given in the New Testament (that is, the New Covenant) point out to us how to fulfil the Old Testament commands, and which Old Testament commands we fulfil by continuing to abide by them.
Classically within Reformed theology, this has been explained by speaking of the Old Testament as containing Civil, Ceremonial and Moral laws. Ceremonial laws are those which relate to the work the priests do on behalf of the people of Israel – like the laws about sacrificing goats and bulls when people sin. Civil laws are those which relate to how the nation of Israel was to act as a nation. Not wearing cloth of linen mixed with wool would be an example of one of these laws, as would the laws about the inheritance rights of the firstborn, and the laws about putting people to death if they do particular things. The moral laws are those which define for us what it means to love our neighbour as ourselves. The laws about not stealing, appropriate and inappropriate sexual relations and not murdering are examples of these.
While the Old Testament itself doesn't use these distinctions, they are very helpful it explaining how the New Testament relates to the Old. So Article 7 of the Anglican Church's Thirty-nine Articles reads:
'Although the Law given from God by Moses, as touching Ceremonies and Rites, do not bind Christian men, nor the Civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any commonwealth; yet notwithstanding, no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the Commandments which are called Moral.'
That is, the Christian person does not have to abide by the Civil or ceremonial laws as they are fulfilled in Christ. But part of fulfilling the moral laws in Christ means abiding by the moral law of the Old Testament.
So if one of your friends asks you the same tricky questions, about shellfish or beard-trimming, it is good to think ahead about how you might answer them. And if you're stuck for words, just remember the most important one: fulfilment!

BEIJING, China -- This week, the U.S. got a closer look at China as President Barack Obama made his first visit to that country during his tour of Asia.
With a fast-growing economy and the world's largest population, China is becoming a major player on the world stage.
As it emerges into a modern-society, its people are revisiting an ancient philosopher in an effort to hold on to their roots.
Confucius Makes a Comeback
The setting could not be more picturesque. Lui Ling, 34, is enjoying a moment of respite during a long day of work.
"I come here to get away and soak in the peace and tranquility," Ling said.
Just a few steps away is a statute of the ancient Chinese philosopher she's come to rely on to cope with China's breakneck changes.
"The teachings of Confucius are helping me find my place in society," she said.
Increasingly across China, people are turning to Confucius to help them balance the demands of the modern world with lessons from the past.
Last month, in Confucius' hometown in China's Shandong Province, more than 10,000 people gathered at a temple in honor of his 2,560th birthday. Confucius lived from 551 to 479 B.C.
Daniel Bell teaches philosophy at Tsinghua University, one of China's most prestigious universities.
"Communism no longer engages people, you know, very few people say, 'Wow, our future is communism' - nobody really thinks that way anymore," he explained. "And so there's a need for another ideology that provides a kind of social responsibility and that's where Confucianism comes in."
Once trashed by the Communist Party as a symbol of a backward China, this sixth century philosopher is now back in fashion. There are even Confucius schools sprouting up across the country.
"Like even at Tsinghua, my university now, there's a class in the humanities where before they were reducing the number of compulsory Marxist courses and now the students have to memorize the four classic Confucian books, which are 2,000-year-old texts," Bell said.
"First they memorize them," he explained. "And then they think about them in more critical ways."
Christianity, Islam Gain Popularity
It's not just Confucius ideology that is gaining amongst the Chinese today. Religions such as Christianity, Islam and Buddhism are also drawing large crowds.
But the Chinese government has turned to the great master to be the standard-bearer of its soft-power around the world, emphasizing the philosopher's teachings on peace and social harmony.
"And that's where the Confucian values like filial piety and meritocracy and compassion, those sorts of values," Bell said.
So now, in some 87 countries, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes offering people cultural and language courses to try and win hearts and minds. More than 60 such centers are in the United States. The government hopes to open 500 of them worldwide next year.
However, for Ling, it's more basic and personal: revisiting old traditions to help her confront the demands life.
"It is easy to get obsessed with making money and living in the fast lane," she said. "I'm learning to slow down and remember the things that are really important in this life."*Originally published November 20, 2009.

In this file photo Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., in Sept. 1957 captured international headlines as it was under integration orders from U.S. District Judge Ronald N. Davies. The day before nine black students were refused admittance, Gov. Orval Faubus to surround the school and to prevent the black students from entering the grounds. Segregation persisted in public education despite the landmark Brown vs Board of Education decision handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court three years earlier. A new report says many of this nation's schools are as segregated now as they were in 1980. Photo by William P Straeter.

Schools Still 'Separate and Unequal' 60 years after Brown
Central High in Tuscaloosa, Ala., like others schools, has grown increasingly segregated.
s the 60th anniversary of the United States Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education approaches, a new report by the Economic Policy Institute found that schools are more segregated now than they were in 1980. The U.S. Supreme Court's May 17, 1954 landmark decision effectively banned racial segregation in schools in Southern states where racially separate schools were far from equal. The report outlines the myriad differences that existed between Black schools and White schools leading up to the 1954 decision.

Fastpitch: Snohomish tops mistake-prone Wildcats
Taking advantage of Oak Harbor mistakes, the Snohomish fastpitch team defeated the Wildcats twice Monday, April 26, at Hillcrest Elementary.
The Panthers won the first game 8-6, then dominated the second 11-1.
In the opener, Oak Harbor out hit the Panthers 9-6 but committed nine errors (Snohomish had zero) to allow the visitors to steal the game.
Thanks to Kasie Brown's three-run triple in the fourth inning, Oak Harbor overcame a 5-0 deficit to take a 6-5 lead. However, Snohomish tacked on three more runs over the next two innings to get the win.
The Wildcats' other two runs came in the third when Whitney Osborn doubled, Brown singled and Shawna Steele doubled.
In the second game, a disastrous seven-run second-inning sunk Oak Harbor. The Panthers (4-6, 5-9) combined four walks, a hit batter and four errors for the outburst.
The Wildcats scored their lone run off an Aria Araceley double.
Coach Jessica Weikle said Oak Harbor should have beaten the Panthers, "but until our infielders stop making silly mistakes, we won't win."
She added, "For the most part, our pitchers are hitting their spots and getting ground balls, but the fielders are letting them down."
Oak Harbor (0-10, 1-12) hosts Monroe (4-5, 6-7) Wednesday, April 28, at 4 p.m.

FAU National Alumni Association Hosts Ninth Annual Sweethearts Dinner
BOCA RATON, FL (March 2, 2011) – The Florida Atlantic University National Alumni Association (FAUNAA) recently hosted its ninth annual Sweethearts Dinner. The special evening honors couples who met while attending FAU. More than 30 alumni couples attended the dinner at the Marleen and Harold Forkas Alumni Center at FAU's Boca Raton campus.
Pat Breman, assistant vice president of alumni relations, welcomed all the "sweethearts" on behalf of the association. FAUNAA Board Member Ben Dickinson '04, served as master of ceremonies for the evening's festivities, which included a humorous rendition of "The Newlywed Game."
First-year Sweethearts Dinner attendees Lawrence Donahue '74 and Carol Donahue '74 were married while attending FAU. After graduation, they returned home to New York and taught high school for 36 years. "As recently-retired snowbirds, we were so excited to finally be able to attend this special event," said Carol. "We had a wonderful time meeting other couples and reflecting on our years at FAU."
"It's been a long time since we visited FAU, but we were still greeted as if we were family," said Lawrence. "We felt the same way many years ago when we decided to attend FAU."
Guests represented every decade of FAU's 50-year history and included alumni from the University's first graduating class of 1965. The most recent graduate was in the class of 2010.

Does 'Jupiter Ascending' Trailer Look Good Ridiculous or Bad Ridiculous?
We've been waiting a long time for this one — the first original Wachowski project since the termination of the Matrix trilogy. We've heard only nebulous synopses and contextual tidbits since the project was announced, knowing only (thanks to the Wachowski stamp) that it would be BIG. The Matrix was big. Cloud Atlas was big. V for Vendetta, which the pair helped to pen, was pretty big. And though it spans galaxies and envelops the fate of existence altogether, the first trailer for Jupiter Ascending makes it look surprisingly personal and intimate. But those aren't the only adjectives that come to mind.
It also looks a little bit ridiculous. When embraced, this can work. The imagery of the trailer brings to mind flashy, ornate sci-fi/fantasies, notably the effusively goofy The Fifth Element. But is this what the Wachowskis want?
Fans of The Matrix movies alone might be shocked at the zaniness inherent in the frames of the Jupiter Ascending trailer. The dark and stern story of Neo rarely, if ever, dripped into a state of levity. But Cloud Atlas was imbued with a great deal of merriment — the epic film's lighter segments ranged from sappy sentimentality to outright wacky humor. And since stars Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis are both known as skilled comedic actors, we're inclined to believe that the brow-raising character of the new trailer is wholly intended.
At least, we hope.

Students put on dancing shoes for THONFrom Friday, Feb.18 to Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011, Penn State students from every campus will gather at the Bryce Jordan Center on the University Park campus, for THON–the 46-hour dance marathon to benefit the Four Diamonds Fund supporting families battling pediatric cancer.
Short for the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, THON is a year-long effort to raise funds and awareness for the fight against pediatric cancer. THON's fundraising helps offset the cost of a child's cancer treatment and helps establish research endowments aimed at increasing the cure rates of pediatric cancer treatments.
Putting on their dancing shoes from Penn State Berks are sophomores Deven Barbine, Elementary Education major from East Norriton, PA; Nicole Messner, from Ephrata, PA; and Kristine Potts, from Reisterstown, MD; and first-year student Ryan Cameron, from Gilbertsville, PA, who will spend their weekend on the dance floor as other Penn State Berks students cheer them on.
"My motivation for being involved with THON is that I have lost family members to cancer," explains Cameron.
"Getting to know our THON family personally inspired me to want to be a dancer this year, comments Potts. "I cherish the role I'm able to play in Natalie's life and recovery and am honored for the opportunity to participate in THON at University Park. Dancing is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I consider myself lucky to have been chosen as a dancer."
This year's THON activities began at Berks campus in October 2010. Over the four months leading up to the THON main event, the campus THON committee conducted a 5K Walk/Run, Breakfast with Santa, a talent show, and a flapjack breakfasts, as well as canning drives throughout the community.
