Mary not just for Catholics anymore
By Patricia Zapor Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- As publications from Time magazine to Christianity Today have discovered recently, Mary, the mother of Jesus, is not just for Catholics anymore.
Features on Mary are perennial favorites for editors looking for a religion-themed story before Christmas, and in the last few years many of these articles have focused on the increasing popularity of Mary among Protestants.
Marianist Father Thomas Thompson, editor of the Marian Library Newsletter at the University of Dayton in Ohio, points out that the expanding Protestant acceptance of Mary is based upon a strictly scriptural view of her, rather than on any change in Protestant theology.
Some Catholic doctrines about Mary, such as the Immaculate Conception -- the belief that she was conceived without sin -- remain controversial among Protestants, Father Thompson said. But as anti-Catholicism has waned among Protestants, the barriers to Episcopalians, Baptists and evangelicals turning to Mary have faded as well.
"We're very happy to see others taking an interest in Mary," he said in a telephone interview with Catholic News Service.
Timothy George, dean of Beeson Divinity School at Samford University, a Baptist college in Birmingham, Ala., wrote recently that "it is time for evangelicals to recover a fully biblical appreciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and her role in the history of salvation, and to do so precisely as evangelicals." George's comments appeared in the December 2003 issue of Christianity Today and in a 2004 collection of essays by various theologians, "Mary: Mother of God."
"We may not be able to recite the rosary or kneel down before statues of Mary, but we need not throw her overboard," George wrote.
In the magazine, he quoted an early 20th-century Southern Baptist New Testament scholar, A.T. Robertson, who said Mary "has not had fair treatment either from Protestants or Catholics." Robertson argued that while Catholics have "deified" Mary evangelicals have coldly neglected her.
"We have been afraid to praise and esteem Mary for her full worth," said George, citing Robertson, "lest we be accused of leanings and sympathy with Catholics."
George's article went on to explain historical, scriptural and theological reasons why Protestants should embrace Mary.
"We need not go through Mary in order to get to Jesus," George concluded, "but we can join with Mary in pointing others to him."
Another recent book, "Blessed One," is a collection of 11 essays about Mary by Protestant scholars.
In their introduction, editors Beverly Roberts Gaventa and Cynthia L. Rigby, professors at Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey and Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Texas, respectively, said their goal for the book was to help Protestants think in new ways about Mary, "blessing her and being blessed by her."
"She is a person of faith who does not always understand but who seeks to put her trust in God," they wrote.
For Muslims, on the other hand, Mary has always been a part of the picture.
John Alden Williams, professor emeritus in the humanities of religion at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, is a Catholic historian who has studied Islamic civilization and religion. He and fellow William and Mary professor James A. Bill published "Roman Catholics and Shi'i Muslims" in 2002.
It notes that two sections of the Quran, the sacred book of Islam, are devoted to Mary, known there as Maryam. She is recognized as the purified woman chosen to be the mother of the promised Messiah. Islam considers Jesus an important prophet, but not the incarnation of God.
Williams explained in a phone interview that, like Catholics, Shiite Muslims, who are a minority compared to the vastly more numerous Sunni Muslims, believe in intercessory prayer through saints and other holy people. That includes Mary, who is highly revered as a mediatrix between humans and God, or Allah. Sufis, another Islamic sect, also believe in intercession.
In Sunni Islam, "the whole idea of intercession is disputed," Williams said, "just as it is among Calvinist Protestants."
Among the differences the leaders of the Protestant Reformation had with the Catholic Church was the growth during the Middle Ages of devotion to Mary. Reformers argued that Jesus was the only mediator between God and mankind and that "exuberant Marian devotion seemed to them to threaten the clarity of the Gospel message of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, through Christ alone," wrote Daniel L. Migliore, a theology professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, in his chapter in "Blessed One."
Muslims who seek Mary's intercession, on the other hand, see her in much the same way Catholics do, said Williams.
While living in the Middle East, he said he witnessed several striking examples of the reverence many Muslims have for Mary.
At the Convent of Our Lady, an Orthodox church in Sednaya, Syria, he watched devout Muslims roll out prayer rugs to join Christians in reverencing an icon of Mary that is reputed to have been painted by St. Luke the Evangelist and believed to have the power to cure illnesses.
And in the late 1960s, many Muslims were among the millions who gathered in a Coptic Orthodox church in Egypt, hoping to catch a glimpse of reported Marian apparitions, he said.
For more than a year starting in 1968, apparitions of Mary were reported over the domes of the Church of the Virgin Mary in the Zeitoun area of Cairo.
Williams went to the church once during that time and was surprised to see Muslims among the crowd, he said.
"I asked some people, 'Isn't it a little funny for you to be coming here to a Christian church?'" Williams said. They said they considered it only proper that Mary would appear at a church dedicated to her, but explained that they believed she was speaking to all Egyptians, not just Christians.
"They all saw it as a great sign of consolation after the war with Israel (in 1967) that God had not forgotten the people of Egypt," he said.
Mary was a mortal human being, a sinner like all of us.
Speak directly to The Man.
No need to go through subordinates.
Martin Luther, Founder of the Reform, Speaks on Mary
In his sermon of August 15, 1522, the last time Martin Luther preached on the Feast of the Assumption, he stated:
There can be no doubt that the Virgin Mary is in heaven. How it happened we do not know. And since the Holy Spirit has told us nothing about it, we can make of it no article of faith . . . It is enough to know that she lives in Christ.
The veneration of Mary is inscribed in the very depths of the human heart. (Sermon, September 1, 1522).
[She is the] highest woman and the noblest gem in Christianity after Christ . . . She is nobility, wisdom, and holiness personified. We can never honor her enough. Still honor and praise must be given to her in such a way as to injure neither Christ nor the Scriptures. (Sermon, Christmas, 1531).
No woman is like you. You are more than Eve or Sarah, blessed above all nobility, wisdom, and sanctity. (Sermon, Feast of the Visitation, 1537).
One should honor Mary as she herself wished and as she expressed it in the Magnificat. She praised God for his deeds. How then can we praise her? The true honor of Mary is the honor of God, the praise of God's grace . . . Mary is nothing for the sake of herself, but for the sake of Christ . . . Mary does not wish that we come to her, but through her to God. (Explanation of the Magnificat, 1521).
Luther gives the Blessed Virgin the exalted position of "Spiritual Mother" for Christians:
It is the consolation and the superabundant goodness of God, that man is able to exult in such a treasure. Mary is his true Mother .. (Sermon, Christmas, 1522)
Mary is the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of all of us even though it was Christ alone who reposed on her knees . . . If he is ours, we ought to be in his situation; there where he is, we ought also to be and all that he has ought to be ours, and his mother is also our mother. (Sermon, Christmas, 1529).
Martin Luther had the belief of Mary's Immaculate Conception, Luther's words follow:
It is a sweet and pious belief that the infusion of Mary's soul was effected without original sin; so that in the very infusion of her soul she was also purified from original sin and adorned with God's gifts, receiving a pure soul infused by God; thus from the first moment she began to live she was free from all sin" (Sermon: "On the Day of the Conception of the Mother of God," 1527).
She is full of grace, proclaimed to be entirely without sin- something exceedingly great. For God's grace fills her with everything good and makes her devoid of all evil. (Personal {"Little"} Prayer Book, 1522)."
That's what Martin Luther had to say about the Blessed Mother. So even the reformers/rebels revered and honored Holy Mary. What happened to the Protestant Tradition?
Mary was a human mother born in sin. That's all nothing more. The one qualifying factor that she had that Jesus needed was the unbroken, unblemished line from David through his son Nathan. Whereas Joseph's bloodline which was broken but his line carried the title of King through David.
Free of sin so that she could bear Christ in her womb.
You are getting erroneous information from you Catholic bashing churches.
Free of sin?
We are all born sinners, so where does a person who is free of sin come from? Was she the daughter of God and Jesus is really the Grandchild of God?
Christians go through Christ, everyone else is just a dead human
"Never apologize for the Blessed Virgin Mary!"
~~Mother Angelica
You are not familiar with the Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Please educate yourself.
Christians worship God through Christ Jesus. That is all.
There sure are a lot of Catholic-bashers aka protestants on this site - they're here to ensure you know in no uncertain terms what their opinion is of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
I don't know whether Mary was sinless or not, and I'm comfortable with not knowing. All I know is that God found her special, and so do I.
I wouldn't apologize for her, I just don't consider her terribly relevant.
See, I worship Christ, not His mom or His second cousin or His lawyer.
I am privileged with direct communication to Him.
I have no need of intermediaries.
Tradition ... Topal .....men can speak of anything but there's nothing about venerating Mary in the Bible ... great theologians can speak on whatever they want but it doesn't make it Biblical ... Mary was just the means whereby Jesus entered the world ... nothing more.
Heinrich Bullinger
Bullinger (d. 1575) . . . defends Mary's perpetual virginity . . . and inveighs against the false Christians who defraud her of her rightful praise: 'In Mary everything is extraordinary and all the more glorious as it has sprung from pure faith and burning love of God.' She is 'the most unique and the noblest member' of the Christian community . . .
'The Virgin Mary . . . completely sanctified by the grace and blood of her only Son and abundantly endowed by the gift of the Holy Spirit and preferred to all . . . now lives happily with Christ in heaven and is called and remains ever-Virgin and Mother of God.'
{In Hilda Graef, Mary: A history of Doctrine and Devotion, combined ed. of vols. 1 & 2, London: Sheed & Ward, 1965, vol.2, pp.14-5}
That's the problem they're not educated in the doctrine. I mean if they were they'd know what their protestant reformers had to say about her. Heinrich Bullinger wrote the above on the Holy Mother. What happened one might wonder.
"Do whatever he tells you" she said (John 2:5). Mary calls us to obedience, and Our Lord has made her the vehicle to bring warring factions together in peace to Him. She did so in Mexico (as Our Lady of Guadalupe).
Throughout history, she has always pointed the way to her Son through obedience to Him.
I have been here long enough to know, you ain't gonna change each others minds. To my fellow Catholics, I offer you this sage advice;
Stop casting pearls before swine.
"Tradition ... Topal .....men can speak of anything but theres nothing about venerating Mary in the Bible ... great theologians can speak on whatever they want but it doesnt make it Biblical ... Mary was just the means whereby Jesus entered the world ... nothing more."
But who says that...? I mean your founding protestant reformers continued to honor and rever her. What happened? Do you all follow your own ideology? You're your own little mini-gods? Mary is Biblical as your founding reformers knew... How come you strayed so far off the path?
"I have been here long enough to know, you aint gonna change each others minds. To my fellow Catholics, I offer you this sage advice;
Stop casting pearls before swine."
Yes, but I'd really like to know where they strayed from the path of their founding protestant reformers. Thusfar I've just gotten their own personal opinion.
Pearls before swine...yes, indeed.
So not only will you not ask Maria to pray for you, but you also think she's just a dead human?
Is this the type of nonsense your pastors teach you?
I wouldnt bother, there is no talking to the Marian Worship Cultist. Catholicism I really don't have issue with, many saved Catholics, but this veneration stuff has been fully debunked, defeated and destroyed by Protestant apologists for hundreds of years but like radical Muslims some Marian cultist stick stubbornly to their dogma. Before JPII this Marian stuff was a little out of style but he brought it back. Jesus said come straight to him for fellowship otherwise he will not know you...period, end of debate. I feel 100% sure in my salvation through Christ alone, I need no intercessor to speak for me, my source....um the scriptures..the infallible word of God, not the musings of some monk 100's of years ago.
Good news.
>"They all saw it (the apparition of Mary) as a great sign of consolation after the war with Israel (in 1967) that God had not forgotten the people of Egypt," he said.<
What has not been mentioned is that the church in Zeitoun, Egypt has recently been bombed. I doubt that the Copts did this.
>She is recognized as the purified woman chosen to be the mother of the promised Messiah.<
Yet, from the very beginning, Islam has persecuted the followers of the same Person that they recognize as the promised Messiah. Even today Christians do not enjoy religious freedom in muslim counties that Muslims do in the West. I think that Islam owes the West an explanation.
"I dont know whether Mary was sinless or not, and Im comfortable with not knowing. All I know is that God found her special, and so do I."
That's very sweet. You're a protestant, right?
Thanks for the link bdeaner - excellent lecture. Biblical consistency.
Go get them, tiger! You're alright.
This is nothing new. Protestants and Evangelicals have always recognized the unique role of Mary, the mother of Jesus. We called her blessed, just as the scriptures do. She is an example of obedient faith and, like other heroes of the faith, such as the apostles and the martyrs, deserves our respect and a place of honor in our hearts and minds. Nevertheless, we do not venerate her or them. Veneration is reserved for God the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ, by the inner working of the Holy Spirit. And so, too, our prayers are directed to God the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ, by the inner working of the Holy Spirit.
I understand your frustration. You will not get an answer. Historically, there is no continuity. I am a convert (more acurately, a revert). I was a staunch anti catholic for many years. Everything is autonomous outside papal authority. We had many different beliefs within my former congregation on such issues of the rapture, can you lose your salvation, grace and works, and countless other things. These things actually ripped many churches apart and sent many ministers packing because of a churches "vote" and beliefs.
You may end up asking for forgiveness at the moment of your particular judgment (the moment of your death) from Our Lord, Jesus Christ, because you didn't revere his mother. Even Christ tells you to take care of your mother.
But then, again, it might be too late for you at that moment.
"...but this veneration stuff has been fully debunked, defeated and destroyed by Protestant apologists for hundreds of years..."
Interesting - could you give me some links? When did this happen?
Here's what John Calvin had to say about the Blessed Mother:
Helvidius displayed excessive ignorance in concluding that Mary must have had many sons, because Christ's 'brothers' are sometimes mentioned.
{Harmony of Matthew, Mark & Luke, sec. 39 (Geneva, 1562), vol. 2 / From Calvin's Commentaries, tr. William Pringle, Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1949, p.215; on Matthew 13:55}
[On Matt 1:25:] The inference he [Helvidius] drew from it was, that Mary remained a virgin no longer than till her first birth, and that afterwards she had other children by her husband . . . No just and well-grounded inference can be drawn from these words . . . as to what took place after the birth of Christ. He is called 'first-born'; but it is for the sole purpose of informing us that he was born of a virgin . . . What took place afterwards the historian does not inform us . . . No man will obstinately keep up the argument, except from an extreme fondness for disputation.
{Pringle, ibid., vol. I, p. 107}
So, did these apologists debunk Calvin, Martin Luther, Zwingli, Wesley, and Bullinger as well? Would really like some links as to this debunking.
**but this veneration stuff has been fully debunked, defeated and destroyed by Protestant apologists for hundreds of years **
Oh, really???
The article is about a Baptist who has other opinions.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Odd, He does not mention His mom in the technical details.
This anti-protestant stuff being posted ad naseum on FR is annoying
And Mary's last words in the Bible are:
"Do whatever he tells you."
She left everything in Christ's hands. (Smart mother, eh?)
A person is saved by God through Christ and Christ alone. This is why its called Christianity.
Not all apparitions have been solely to Catholics or even to Christians. One in Viet Nam from 1888 was seen only by the pagans besieging a badly outnumbered Christian group. They reoported the Lady as standing over the church in the town. Their artillery targeted the church but it and the lady were unscathed. When the defenders broke out at dawn in a hopeless attack the enemy soldiers saw the Lady ahead of them, panicked, and ran away. The Christians heard of it from the pagans.
This is nothing new. Protestants and Evangelicals have always recognized the unique role of Mary, the mother of Jesus. We called her blessed, just as the scriptures do. "She is an example of obedient faith and, like other heroes of the faith, such as the apostles and the martyrs, deserves our respect and a place of honor in our hearts and minds."
Muslims say the same thing yet when one debates them - the name-calling begins as witnessed here. If you respect her then why the Marian Cultist label? I find much of what I've been debating Muslims (and leftists) for years is seconded by other religious people here. If they can't get out of a corner then it's name-calling or they bring up Constantine, the Crusades, Inquision etc. It's amazing the similarity in the argements. One might wonder who learned what from whom for talking points.
Gee, it seems like it was only yesterday we Eastern Christians were saying "It looks like Marian devotion isn't just for us anymore." after the Latins discovered our traditions like the Feast of the Dormition. Of course, in the Orthodox Church 1500 years ago really is pretty much yesterday.
"She left everything in Christs hands. (Smart mother, eh?)"
Sounds interesting. Do you have a link?
Do whatever he tells you.
Yes, I suppose that is well and good for Marianity.
Me, I'm a Christian.
"I know what you're thinking — you're thinking you shouldn't honor anyone but God. But that's wrong. Remember the 4th commandment? Honor thy mother and father. Could be stated as "Venerate they mother and father." Means the same thing.
We worship Jesus, and Mary is His Mother. Consistent with the 4th Commandment, we HONOR or venerate His Blessed Mother."
Well said...
You're welcome! Thanks for your excellent posts, as always.
She is not our Saint or iconic statue, she cannot save us. We do not worship any icons, or should not. We do not worship the Jesus on the Cross statues either, our Jesus/Lord is no longer on the cross. We do not pray through Mary, nor need a priest to pray for us, we have a direct connection to God through his SON Jesus.
We don't have to bury a saint statue in our front yards to sell our houses either. ROFL yes, they do this.

Welp, did some camping down at Truman Lake this weekend with five other families...22 folks total, a Yellow Lab and a half Pit Bull half Whippit chuck huntin' machine of a dog.
Took the trashcan along since no one mentioned what we were cooking on. Got there and found Smoky Joe and a standard issue forest service open pit concrete & steel HD grill...(not that there's anything wrong with that, but it was HOT outside). She chugged along all weekend even with various people constantly lifting the lid...Cooked with 50/50 lump and briqs. I dumped about beercan's worth of ashes out before putting it on the truck Sunday.
Saturday...20 ears of unshucked corn on the bottom grate with 4 large foil packs of taters 'n onions on the top grate along with 30 brats cooked, wrapped and holding. Oh, and an 8 pack of dogs for the crump snatchers. All on a something I can lift in an out of the pickup easily, bad back and all.
Thinking about modifying the bottom grate(s) with notches so they'll easily pass by the bolts that hold the top grate instead of having to angle it out. CLICK...or, maybe try a heavy duty butler tray hinge, drop~leaf hinge type set up for the top grate...
Hmmmm.....might just work.
Came away from the weekend with supplier of lined barrels, if & when needed (cultured marble products company, FYI). Also traded my spare SS hardware and notes for the angle iron and the welding on a new charcoal basket. I'd have given them up for free, but he offered first...
As of yesterday afternoon there are now 5 friends, 1 park ranger and 1 Benton county deputy spreading out around the Ozarks looking for barrels. It's craziness I tell ya...craziness.
Sorry for the long windage, but she sho' did shine this weekend...

Ok tried making my own fonts tonight. The process seems simple, but (there's always a but) When I load it in the skin I get gray block. I tried a simple font arial black at 12 points.
So what's the trick? What is a good font to try?

I'va never got it working either. geniusalz was nice enough to make some for me though
Posted 04 March 2004 - 02:41 AM
ohk, so, I assume you've downloader fontbundle. But you've decided to not read the extremely simple process thats described in the readme.txt. fyi, you are supposed to read readme files, that's what they're there for. sooo, I give to you a direct copy and paste of the readme.txt...
Run FontBundle and use it to launch the FontMaker utility.
Select your font and save off the TGA and ABC files to a directory.
Once that's done, "Load" the TGA file (will also bring in the ABC file).
Now "Build"
The resulting XPR file will be a Packed Resource file usable as a font in XDK-built applications
that use them.

Hmmm.... a couple of people have had problems with it. Not sure why... it should run fine with Win2k and a recent DirectX update; maybe it's related to the video card installed? Sometimes data is produced using the video drivers, which may be optomized in bizarre ways (this was true in the "old days" in particular - CorelDraw 3.0 didn't like Win3.1's Viper video card drivers and often printed black sheets instead of the image)
Posted 04 March 2004 - 04:32 AM
Yeah, my guess is it does have to do with the videocard. I have dirextx9b installed but got me a crappy videocard.
Posted 04 March 2004 - 12:28 PM
I've did read the Readme.txt not that it says much. I'm running W2k, DirectX9, with a Nvidia Gforce4 video card. Go figure.
Posted 04 March 2004 - 04:57 PM
I have a ti4600,winxp,dx9b,and not the latest, but just prior to them drivers, It has worked fine with other drivers and directx's in the past as well. I have also used it in win2k with a radeon 64mbddr and it worked fine then as well.
If you're still having trouble, email me them, look at my profile for me email, And I'll make them up for you.

A white party is a clean, crisp uncluttered look that's stunning because of its simplicity. At Shindigz, you'll find all the white party decorations and supplies you need to create a memorable event, from a birthday party to a prom. A white party is a great look for a bridal shower. Use decorating fabric such as inexpensive tulle or dreamy shimmera and you'll be able to supplement the decorations with accents in the wedding colors and use them at the reception, too. A white party also is great for a winter formal or dance, particularly in parts of the country where snow is plentiful. Speaking of snow, a White Christmas theme can create an elegant look at a company party or luncheon. Decorate with flocked trees and trim the room with snowflakes and twinkling lights. The look couldn't be any simpler or more elegant.
The great thing about a solid-color theme is that it's easy to throw a fantastic party on a small budget. White party decorations such as balloons, streamers, poms, paper fans and lanterns are super cheap to begin with, and they're even less expensive with the bulk discounts at Shindigz. With our tableware party packs that provide all the plates, napkins and utensils to serve 20 guests with either paper or plastic, you save even more. For proms or galas, tableware is available in bulk, too. When you're using white party supplies, leftovers don't matter because the neutral color will always fit into another theme at some point. For favors, a personalized white swirl lollipop fits the theme perfectly or you can offer a white candy buffet and let guests create their own favors.

Can it get any worse?
That has to be the question after the 76ers had one of their worst showings in a season with no shortage of candidates.
Facing an Orlando Magic team that had lost 17 of its previous 18 games and 10 straight on the road, the Sixers suffered a 98-84 defeat Tuesday night before a disbelieving crowd at the Wells Fargo Center.

|Once you finish on either the final 5.6 crack system or the movie variation please continue up and slightly left along a ledge with some trees. Here you will find a large pine tree with chains around the trunk for the rappel. It is very unpleasant to have a rope throw down on top of you when your leading hatchet, school room west or anything under the hook. So please do not rappel the face itself.

|Hey whats with the overly bolted new routes above the schoolroom rappel. There all stupid easy and kinda pointless. Anyone have any info? Detracts from a great trad/hard slab area.
By Brian in SLC

Me and mine have always scrambled down to the standard Schoolroom rappel. Instead of rappelling from the tree mentioned in the descent description, climb slightly up and traverse over towards the west on a ledge with a handcrack rail (easy, maybe 3rd class). Then down climb the low angle chimney for 25 feet. Hike/scramble pretty much straight down low angle terrain and you'll hit the rappel ledge.
Climbers who haven't done this descent before, who may be a tad sketched, can easily be belayed from just about any spot, but, the traverse from the tree that folks rappel from has a comfortable ledge with a nice crack for medium to large size cams (#1 and 2 camalots, etc).
I'll attach a couple of pictures showing some details of the traverse and chimney.

William Wood (1671-1730) was originally an ironmaster from Wolverhampton. Through the patronage of the Earl of Bradford he held the place of Receiver-General of the land tax for Shropshire, an office with many opportunities for peculation of exactly the kind later identified by the Tory satirists as typical of Sir Robert Walpole's supposed habit of government by corruption. Wood came to prominence as a partner in a group supplying iron to London during an embargo on Swedish iron, but he was involved in many other production companies, including one which supplied copper coinage to the Royal Mint. Another venture, which involved the foundation of a public company to supply metals round England and Wales, turned out to be in breach of …

Man in mislabeled meat case sentencedMarch 22,2013
Man in mislabeled meat case sentenced
BENNINGTON A Vermont man who used false labels saying the meat he sold from his New York poultry farm was free range and farm raised when it was bought from wholesalers has been sentenced to two years of probation.
Craig Acton of Bennington pleaded guilty to fraudulently using a USDA legend on meat he sold through his Buskirk, N.Y., farm.
He was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court Northern District of New York.
The Bennington Banner reports prosecutor Daniel Hanlon said Acton would buy meat from other legitimate suppliers. He would use false USDA labels saying it was from his farm and qualifying as organic so it could be sold at a higher price.
Acton said a flood killed 1,000 of his chickens and forced him into dire financial straits.MORE IN This Just InHarwood Union graduate Haley Spittle was named North Atlantic Conference Player of the Week after...

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:48:00 – Hoffenheim have signed Brazilian-born Belgium striker Igor de Camargo on loan until the end of the season from German rivals Borussia Monchengladbach.
The 29-year-old, who has 18 months left on his current deal, had been linked with Everton and Fulham.
De Camargo has played nine times for Belgium since gaining citizenship in 2009.
He previously played for Belgian sides Genk, Beringen-Heusden-Zolder, FC Brussels and Standard Liege, before moving to Monchengladbach in 2010.
Hoffenheim are currently struggling in the Bundesliga and are 17th in the 18-team league with only 13 points from 19 matches.
General manager Andreas Muller said: "De Camargo will bring more impact in offence. I'm certain that he will play an important role for us with his class and experience."

Did you know that each year a typical household throws away an estimated 474 pounds of food waste? In Ohio, that's enough food scraps to pile on a football field as high as the Willis Tower (former Sears Tower) - more than 1,450 feet! Food scraps generated by all households in the United States could be piled on a football field more than 5 miles (26,400 feet) high!
Up to 90 percent of waste thrown out by supermarkets and restaurants is food scraps. In fact, food scraps is the third largest segment of the waste stream, with nearly 26 million tons generated each year. Unfortunately, it is also the least recovered. If the 26 million tons of food scraps generated annually were composted rather than landfilled, greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by more than 21.5 million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent. This savings is equivalent to the removal of more than 4 million cars from the roadways each year, conserving more than 2 billion gallons of gasoline, or providing annual electricity needs to more than 2.5 million homes!
Whenever possible, the generation of food scraps should be minimized through source reduction and donations to local food banks (U.S. EPA Food Recovery Hierarchy). However, even the most efficient purchasing programs by businesses and consumers will inevitably result in the generation of food scraps.
Ohio EPA encourages communities and businesses to divert food scraps from landfills by utilizing composting, anaerobic digestion and other alternatives. Not only does the environment benefit from keeping food scraps out of landfills, but communities and businesses can save money by reducing their disposal costs. Through the composting process, food scraps are transformed into a rich organic soil builder that can be used in gardens and landscapes to provide many benefits to the soil. In addition to producing compost, using microbes that produce methane gas during the anaerobic digestion process generates renewable energy. As a result, a material that may have been taken to the landfill will instead add value to the land and offer solutions to energy needs.
Ohio EPA, which now includes the former Ohio Division of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention, and U.S. EPA Region 5 have been working with stakeholders to develop and implement food scraps recovery projects. In many cases, communities and businesses have launched food scraps recovery programs on their own. Since 2009, city of Huron (Erie County), village of Luckey (Wood County), Fairborn (Greene County), West Milton (Miami County) and Miami Township (Montgomery County) residents have been offered food scraps collection along with their yard waste collection. The Kroger Company has diverted more the 3,500 tons from Ohio landfills, and this material has been converted into a nutrient-rich resource. Cleveland venues, including Browns Stadium, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Progressive Field and Quicken Loans Arena, began collecting and sending food scraps to area composting facilities. Colleges, universities and other organizations continue to compost on site, when available as an option. Oftentimes, interested communities and businesses are unaware of opportunities and resources available to begin recovering food scraps.
Ohio EPA and U.S. EPA Region 5 have developed a map to offer a visual display of opportunities to the many communities, businesses and other organizations that are interested in recovery food scraps. Since the launch of Ohio's Food Scraps Recovery Initiative in 2007, the infrastructure of composting and anaerobic digestion facilities has developed considerably and offers most regions of the state an alternative solution to landfills. The map includes the location of all licensed composting facilities authorized to accept food scraps and rings to display varying distances that may affect the economic feasibility of a program. Supermarket locations for various grocers illustrate the opportunities that exist in just this industry alone. The map also includes supermarkets currently participating in food scraps recovery programs.
This map is intended to assist communities and businesses in identifying opportunities to recover food scraps by displaying local solutions and existing programs. Communities and businesses that are participating in food scraps recovery programs and want to be included in this map are encouraged to forward their information to Angel Arroyo-Rodriguez. For more information about food scraps recovery, please contact the Division of Materials and Waste Management at (614) 644-2621.
Check out the following features:
- Food scraps composting and anaerobic digestion facilities
- Distances from your location
- Driving directions from your location
- Existing food scraps recovery programs
- Local food banks
Currently the map features are not functioning and being rebuilt.
Below is a list of links for various food bank operations in Ohio that may be willing to work with you on finding outlets for excess food. If you represent an organization that would like to be listed, please contact us.
The Mid-Ohio Foodbank works with food distribution centers, manufacturers, grocery retailers, food brokers, transportation companies and produce growers to encourage donations of surplus food and personal care products that cannot be sold in the marketplace. Excess inventory, package redesign, cosmetic imperfections, customer refusal, test marketing and short code dates are typical reasons to donate.
The Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food Bank, Inc., is a member of America's Second Harvest - The Nation's Food Bank Network, which is the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the United States. The Food Bank currently serves over 285 non-profit member agencies in eight counties in Northwest Ohio, including Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky, Wood and Williams counties.
The Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank is a 85,000 square foot warehouse with more than 8,000 square feet in freezer and cooler space, and a large product recovery center. Grocery items that have been damaged at the retail level are inspected and sorted by trained personnel in our Product Recovery Center. The organization serves Summit, Stark, Portage, Medina, Wayne, Holmes, Tuscarawas and Carroll counties.
The Cincinnati Freestore Foodbank was founded in 1971 and serves about 200,000 people in 20 counties throughout southern Ohio, northern Kentucky and southeastern Indiana. The organization distributes donated and surplus food to approximately 500 non-profit agencies in 20 counties, who in turn help prevent hunger in their own neighborhoods.
The Greater Cleveland Food Bank supplies a majority of the food used in local soup kitchens, shelters and food pantries. The organization also provides food to child-care centers, group homes and programs for the elderly. The Food Bank works closely with other northeast Ohio hunger relief organizations, providing food and non-food products to hunger centers administered by the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland, the Catholic Hunger and Shelter Network and the Salvation Army, among others.
The Ohio Association of Foodbanks is Ohio's largest charitable response to hunger. Its mission: to assist foodbanks in Ohio in providing food and other resources to people in need and to pursue areas of common interest for the benefit of people in need. The Ohio Association of Foodbanks represents the 12 regional America's Second Harvest Foodbanks who distribute food and grocery items to over 3,300 member charities statewide. These charities are comprised of food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters and similar non-profit organizations.
Currently Second Harvest serves 120 member agencies who operate more than 150 programs throughout the region. Member agencies include emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters and supplemental food programs.
Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley's mission is to solicit, store and distribute food to hunger relief organizations feeding hungry people in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties; and to provide education and advocacy. The food bank believes that no one should go hungry, and they are dedicated to building a community that makes food accessible to all people. In 2009, Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley distributed 7.4 million pounds of food, including 2.3 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, to 153 member agencies in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties.
The Second Harvest Food Bank of Clark, Champaign and Logan Counties is a not-for-profit clearinghouse that collects, stores and distributes useable surplus food to non-profit organizations who in turn share with the people they serve. The food bank utilizes a warehouse with both dry and cold storage, trucks and a full-time staff. The food bank helps stop the waste of useable food by distributing to the needy. Donated foods may come from over-production, underweight products, mislabeled containers, outdated products, improperly coded packages, partially damaged goods, discontinued lines, over-stocked merchandise, farm surplus or other sources.
The Shared Harvest Foodbank distributes surplus marketable and wholesome grocery products to a network of charitable food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other distributing organizations, which in turn distribute these products to needy and hungry people.
The Southeastern Ohio Food Bank is a large warehouse operation that receives surplus food donations from major food manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers and then channels this food to charitable feeding organizations throughout 10 counties in southeastern Ohio. Our mission is to channel surplus food to those who do not have enough, with a goal of making a positive difference in their lives. The food bank currently distributes food to over 200 food pantries, soup kitchens and congregate meal sites.
The Foodbank distributes 3,169,000 pounds of food or 6,782 meals each day in the Miami Valley. The Foodbank membership consists of approximately 90 pantries, congregate meal sites and snack or meal programs serving needy children or adults.
The West Ohio Food Bank distributes an more than 2 million pounds of food each year. Food supplies come from industry surplus, over production, test marketing and soon to expire or dented merchandise.
*Reprinted from the California Integrated Waste Management Board's website
Restaurants, fast food establishments and cafeterias can do a lot to minimize or reduce potential cost increases by incorporating simple waste prevention and recycling programs and procedures that will eliminate much of the waste that is thrown away. With proper purchasing and handling, and careful preparation and storage, food service establishments can help reduce waste and save money! Your restaurant may already be using many of these ideas to reduce costs as well as waste. Try a few new suggestions, see how they work and then continue to expand your waste reduction program.
The resources below will provide you with a starting point in identifying potential funding resources for food scrap composting projects. We cannot, however, guarantee the availability of funding through the resources listed below.
The Market Development Grant (MDG) provides financial assistance to recycled material processors and product manufacturers operating within Ohio. Funding is available to purchase equipment and conduct applied research and development that will strengthen markets for recyclable materials. Eligible projects may target post-consumer, post-commercial and post-industrial recycled material. The division is interested in funding those projects that impact the largest Ohio market area and consume the largest volume of scrap tires or recyclable materials.
Eligible applicants include Ohio cities with a population greater than 50,000; counties and solid waste management districts or solid waste management authorities. These applicants apply on behalf of local businesses. The maximum grant amount is $250,000 for recycling market development projects, and the maximum grant amount is $350,000 for manufacturing or processing projects involving scrap tires. Testing, research and development projects may receive a maximum of $75,000.
Applicants must demonstrate that the local business will provide a financial contribution to the project equal to the amount requested in division grant funds. The match should be a cash contribution or a documented line of credit dedicated to the project.
If you have any questions regarding grant opportunities, please email Chet Chaney or call (614) 728-0043.
In 1988, Ohio's legislature passed House Bill 592 to help strengthen Ohio's solid waste law and implement a planning process at both the local and state government levels. The bill required all counties to establish Solid Waste Management Districts (SWMDs), either independently or jointly with other counties. SWMDs prepare plans to help their communities meet certain goals related to the management and recycling/reduction of industrial waste (waste produced by manufacturing-type businesses).
You may want to check with your local SWMD to see if funding may be available to assist in launching a food scrap composting project in your area. For contact information, see the Division of Materials and Waste Management (DMWM) SWMD chair list.
Monies credited to the Environmental Education Fund consist of half of all penalties collected by Ohio EPA air and water pollution control programs, as well as gifts, grants and contributions. The fund must be used to enhance the public's awareness and understanding about issues affecting environmental quality in Ohio. There is no limit on the type of environmental education projects that can receive funding. Some examples of eligible activities include:
The education fund provides general grants (up to $50,000) and mini grant (from $500-$5,000). For more information, visit the OEE webpage.

You can do a lot to help keep food scraps from taking up valuable landfill space in Ohio by composting food scraps at home. It's pretty easy, and you're helping the environment. Below are some helpful resources to help you learn more about composting at home:
Ohio EPA categorizes composting facilities into four classes based on the type of material the facility can accept. Class II facilities are eligible to receive and process food scraps from external sources. Class II facilities may also accept yard and animal waste. Click here for a list and map of their locations.
The three steps needed to establish a Class II composting facility are registration, license and financial assurance. For more information on composting facility regulations, see the following resources from Ohio EPA:

Anyway, worrying about an extradition process for someone who has committed a minor crime is all well and good, but at least they are following some kind of legal procedure, even if it is overkill and inappropriate. Of far more concern to me is the suspension of the rule of law, natural justice and human rights represented by Guantanamo Bay.
Guantanamo Bay is an absolute disgrace. There is no defense for such an abuse of power. It is one small step in the war against terrorism, but one giant leap along the road to fascism.

Dear reader. You will be forgiven for assuming that, as the creator of the Jewish Week's Food & Wine section, I am a foodie. What I really am is a foodie groupie: I don't have the time/money/discipline/passion to become a really great home cook, say, or an intrepid explorer of extreme ethnic foods in the darkness of the outer boroughs.
But I like to cook and I like to learn about cooking and I like to read about anything, so I love to read about cooking and cooks. When I meet any of them in socially I get kind of breathless and giggly – that's the groupie part – and have to restrain myself from asking them all kinds of technical questions which, I imagine, would be a bit of a busman's holiday for them. Kind of like cornering a heart surgeon at a party and droning on about your palpitations.
So you can probably get a sense of how excited I was to be invited to our dear friend's 40th birthday party at the JCC in Manhattan's Patti Gelman Culinary Arts Center. The soiree consisted of a Thai cooking class!
Instructor Jackie Torren, who graduated from La Varenne Ecole de Cuisine in France (ooh la la!) and has developed recipes for Martha Stewart, assigned our motley crew of Brits and Yanks (our friend is from London) to a slew of different dishes for a three-hour immersion in kosher Thai cooking. This meant mainly that we used substitutions for some ingredients that are hard to find with a hekscher, like fish sauce.
The birthday boy chose to make one of the more complicated dishes, a "Masaman," or Muslim, curry; Daniel and I jumped on an equally involved Beef Salad that required the creation of a marinade, a salad, a dressing and a bizarre-but-delicious ground rice garnish. We sliced lemon grass! We plucked mint! (Actually, Daniel did.) We nibbled at a tamarind pod. Daniel said it tasted like carob. It did kind of bring to mind that weird carob candy forced as a product of Israel on Hebrew School children of the 1980s. As if we weren't suffering enough already! It looked like chocolate and was therefore all the more disappointing. Thank God Israel has moved on to bigger and better things, am I right, Start-Up Nation?
Anyway, especially exciting for a groupie like me was access to Jackie and her assistants, Tricia and Lauren. I tried not to monopolize them, but I didn't really have to restrain myself because they were there precisely for me to ask them questions! Ask I did, about how to slice beef (against the grain, not with it) and how we're supposed to curl our fingers as we chop (still working on this one) and how thick a cilantro stem must be to justify discarding instead of chopping it (very).
But the most world-changing moment came not as a result of a question of mine, but when Tricia handed me one of those handled gizmos that squeeze lemons or limes, observed me for a moment and informed me that instead of putting the halved lime into it with the flesh side up, I should flip it and then squeeze. Now, the fruit fits the thingamajig much better the former way, but it works much better the latter. OMG! I have two of those things, and have always had seed issues that I expect will now be resolved. Jackie told me that she had made the same mistake, for two years, and another guest looked on and observed that this moment was going to change my life. She'd clearly been there. So nice to find a fellow foodie groupie. Although right now I'm feeling so inspired that I'm contemplating gifting myself a Knife Skills class at the Institute for Culinary Education for my own 40th birthday in late June. Jackie -- you've heard of Jackie Torren, of La Varenne Ecole de Cuisine -- says it's a good thing.
Last Update:
Hoping to have Kosher certification on Red Boat Fish Sauce very soon so you won't need to substitute! We're working on it in Vietnam and will let you know.
Sounds like a fun party and educational as well! Expecting now to eat lots of Thai food on my next visit to New York. Wish we had something like this in London so will suggest it to our own Jewish Cultural Centre which is opening up shortly in this great capital city.

The clip cure vampires from Blade (1998) with N'Bushe Wright, Stephen Dorff You seem a bit tense. A bitpent-up maybe, like you need to release something. You know? Blade not givin' it to you maybe. I don't know. I just... I see such a beautiful woman. Greatskin. I'd like to see you happy, that's all. Is this the part where you offer to turn me? Well, it's either that or a body bag. Go ahead. Bite me. I'll just cure myself. I did it before, and I can do it again. There is no cure, baby. There is if you've been bit, if you were once human. How'dyou get that scar, Deacon? A born vampire would have the power to regenerate from birth. You must've gotten scarred before you were turned. Isn't that right? Vampires like you aren't a species. You're just...infected, a virus a sexually transmitted disease. I'll tell you what we are, sister. We're the top of the fuckin' food chain. The Blood God's coming. And after tonight, you people are fuckin' history.

Our bathroom needs repainted. Right now it is sage. Our sink, toilet and tub are almond. I'm thinking a darker taupe? I really don't know what other color to go with. It is a small bathroom.
Pictures would be great!
Being smaller, darker would make it look smaller, but you could pair a dark with a lighter color, a green or blue?
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
~Martin Luther King, Jr
From what I have read, you should keep the colors light for a bathroom to make them look larger. I would go with maybe this color.
but it might still be too dark. But I like the green with the almonds.
or the seagreen from this one.
Becky-"No woman will ever be truly satisfied because no man will ever have a�Chocolate penis that ejaculates money."�
2nd one from the top at the very end.
Becky-"No woman will ever be truly satisfied because no man will ever have a�Chocolate penis that ejaculates money."�
that is about the color it is now! The only reason we have to paint is because there was wallpaper in the bathroom. I stripped it and i must not of removed all the glue because in areas it basically ate through the paint and made it flake off I guess. Maybe just do the same color again but a shade lighter. Hmmmm....
Actually, bolder colors won't necessarily make a room look smaller. It depends on things like proportions, architectural elements and more. There are a few other things to consider though: is this a bathroom where people will be grooming and putting on makeup? If so, a bold color might not be the best way to go because it can cast a strong hue in the mirror and might not get the best lighting. However, if we're talking about a powder room or a kids bath that isn't as critical, then go for a bold color!
JNM*Mom - just wanted to say that you did a great job updating..and I love the sink!
You need to figure out what the underlying tone is of the "almond". Then you can pick a color with the same tone -- "tan" with gray undertones looks waaaay different than tan with yellow, peach, or green undertones. I have made way, WAY too many painting mistakes because I went with a color I liked but that had an undertone that clashed with the rest of the room.
We have a local paint store here that sells full paint decks. It's an incredibly handy thing to have. I can go through all of the Benjamin Moore colors in whatever room I want to paint instead of standing in front of the display at the paint store guessing what the colors would look like in my house. Best $13 I ever spent. I can't tell you how much use that thing has gotten!

Strength in the dining sector only appears to be rising as people return to their busy lives and a quick bite to eat with the passage of summer.
Chipotle (CMG) launched an ad campaign today in an attempt to win back customers after the food from the Mexican restaurant caused food-borne illness outbreaks last year.
A new study has graded 25 popular restaurant chains. Here's one stock that's received high grades... and is priced at a discount today.
Mexican food has been a hard sell in Europe. The company is still struggling to repair its image in the U.S. following a food safety scare last year.

Bike sharing is coming to Seattle, take a survey to provide your Queen Anne feedback
Posted on January 26th, 2014 by Editor
Did you know that there's a Puget Sound Bike Share program ready to launch this year? Well, there is, and the organizers are seeking input from local residents.
According to the Puget Sound Bike Share web site, "Puget Sound Bike Share is a partnership of public and private organizations working to bring bike sharing to King County. Our vision is to provide King County residents and visitors access to a low-cost, fast, flexible, and convenient transportation alternative with economic, social, and environmental benefits to the region."
The program is still in the planning stage, but at this point, the program "will likely include 50 stations and 500 bikes in Seattle's densest neighborhoods including Downtown, Capitol Hill, South Lake Union and the University District." Note that neither Queen Anne nor Uptown are mentioned – so take the survey to ensure the program considers our neighborhood when it expands.
If you'd like to see this program come to Queen Anne – whether Upper Queen Anne or Lower Queen Anne/Uptown – take the survey today.

When she's not standing out in lacrosse, she's one of the highest-rated tennis recruits in the country.
And there are skills that Taylor Ng translates from the tennis court to the lacrosse field: the hand-eye coordination, the strong hands and arms, and sharp reflexes.
Then there are those things that don't translate - and that's what Ng loves most about lacrosse.
"Tennis, most of the time, is just one person on a court," Ng said after her Haddonfield girls' lacrosse team topped Cherry Hill West, 20-2, at home Saturday morning.
"I love lacrosse because it's a real team. In lacrosse, you feed off of each other, you push each other, and you make each other better.

State should redevelop property in West Seneca
I'm trying to make people aware of the waste of taxpayer money and the missed opportunities for the state to make money.
On East and West Road in West Seneca, in the former State Developmental Center of Western New York, more than 200 acres of buildings with wood shops, metal shops and various other maintenance and office buildings are not being used. There is the Feinstein Building, which I have been told houses a hospital. There is a building with a chapel and offices. There are thousands of square feet of living quarters not being used. There are also houses on Leydecker and East and West roads that are not being used and are deteriorating rapidly. All of this property is still maintained by the state.
I have reported this to Sen. Patrick Gallivan's office with little satisfaction. There are great opportunities for this property, such as a young adult retention center – rehabilitation in place of prison. It could also be an incubation center for young businesses leasing office space. The houses on adjoining roads could be sold to bring in property taxes. The number of state vehicles on the premises is way out of line with its use.
I believe this whole thing deserves investigation. Maybe this property could be put to good use.

The quartet is one of the strongest in the history of the 72-year history of the McGuire Cup.
The Dallas Texans Red are one of the strongest teams in the history of American youth soccer, having won the U-18 national championship and the prestigious Super Group at the Dallas Cup in 2006 and the U-17 national championship in 2005.
The Texans include U.S. U-20 Andre Akpan (Harvard), U.S. Pan-American Games players Stephen McCarthy (Santa Clara) and Omar Gonzalez (Maryland) and Jonathan Villanueva (Virginia), who represented the USA in U-20 World Cup qualifying in January.
The Casa Mia Bays won youth titles in 2002 and 2004. They feature Rodney Wallace, who is headed to Maryland and is one of the top midfield prospects in the country.
The Magic is back to the nationals for the fourth time. Last year, it lost to the Texans on penalty kicks in the final. The Magic has players from several colleges, including Creighton's Chris Schuler, a second-team pick on the Soccer America All-Freshman selections.
The Ruckus is led by UCLA's David Estrada, the 2006 Soccer America Freshman of the Year.

The talk coming into this season revolved around the amount of young stars who surprisingly decided to spend another year in school instead of jumping ship for the greener pastures of the NBA.
However, with the lockout looming, the decision to stick around undoubtedly made the decision easy for many of the young studs.
Mirroring the young talent that is in abundance on the hardwood this season is a slew of young and talented small forward prospects.
In the Top 10 small forwards so far this college basketball season, seven are either freshman or sophomores.
Enjoy these athletes while you can, because odds are, many of them will be testing the waters of the NBA draft at the end of this season.

OSHA Trade Release
U.S. Department of Labor
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Office of Communications
Washington, D.C.
For Immediate Release
"This document was published prior to the publication of OSHA's final rule on Ergonomics Program (29 CFR 1910.900, November 14, 2000), and therefore does not necessarily address or reflect the provisions set forth in the final standard."
Trade News Release
Thursday, September 6, 1999
CONTACT: Bill Wright
The last of eleven regional conferences on ergonomics hosted by the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration will be held Sept. 8-9 in Silver Spring, Md.
The conference, called "Best Practices in Ergonomics," will be held at the George Meany Center for Labor Studies, 10000 New Hampshire Ave., and will focus on various ergonomic issues including manual and materials handling; training and education; hazard analysis, prevention and control; office computers; and ergonomic program development.
"The Regional best practices conferences are highly successful ways to share practical information about what works in reducing and preventing musculoskeletal disorders," said OSHA Administrator Charles N. Jeffress. "There is clear and convincing evidence that good ergonomic practices work. They reduce injuries and improve productivity. And, they save money."
Jeffress, along with Peg Seminario, director, Department of Occupational Safety and Health, AFL-CIO, will deliver the keynote address.
Designed specifically for small to mid-size businesses, best practices conferences focus on ways to combat repetitive stress injuries, one of the fastest growing and most costly threats to worker health. Participants include workers, employers, unions, trade and professional associations and professionals in academia and government.
The final conference begins on Sept. 8 at 6 p.m. with a welcoming reception at the George Meany Center in Silver Spring, followed by a full day's agenda beginning at 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 9. The conference is scheduled to wrap up at 4:30 p.m. A registration fee of $75 is required. To register, or for more information, call Karen Banks at the George Meany Center at (301) 431-5422.
This conference is co-sponsored by OSHA's National Office and its Region III headquarters (Philadelphia), as well as the National Resource Center for OSHA Training, a consortium based in Washington, D.C. and composed of The Center to Protect Workers' Rights, and West Virginia University.
The first regional conference on ergonomics was held Sept. 17, 1997 in Lockport, N.Y. Other conferences were held in Chicago, Detroit, San Diego, Manchester, N.H., San Antonio, Tex., Kansas City, Mo., Denver, Atlanta, and Seattle.

Q: Jordan, are you comfortable? [audio difficulties]
Jordan Adams: yeah, I just got kicked in my calf. But I should be fine.
Q: by another player? A teammate?
Jordan Adams: I don't know who.
Q: on your free throw shooting, I know you take it very seriously, practicing a lot. Since high school but mentally, what is your approach? Especially as the game goes on and you go to the line. What are you trying to keep in your head as you go to the line?
Jordan Adams: I just stay focused on the rim. And use the same technique that I always use. That's all I'm pretty much thinking of.
Q: Larry, you talked about getting out on the breaks a little more than the past couple of games. Coach said it was a lot of what they were doing. But it seemed you were running more than previously.
Larry Drew II: well, that's because … [audio difficulties] we were able to get stops and get rebounds and that led to more transition fast break opportunities for us. Luckily, they were shooting early in the shot clock. That made it easier for us.
Q: Norman, your shot is looking a lot better this year than last year. Is there something technique-wise that you changed?
Norman: yeah, there's more arc in the shot. I've been working on it. And so it's just coming along.
Q: Larry, can you talk about the confidence this gives you guys' team going into Brooklyn against some really good teams?
Larry Drew II: one of the things I'm excited about is just how … [audio difficulties] Coach noticed we were a little down on ourselves. [audio difficulties] Definitely this game showed everybody what we can do. We're very excited to play some great teams there.
Q: Jordan, no other freshman here has scored 20 or more points in their first 3 games. You've done that with your performance tonight. What are your thoughts upon hearing that, knowing all the great players that have played here?
Jordan Adams: actually, I just heard that as you told me. I don't look to try to beat any records. I just play.
Q: Larry, when you see Jordan at the line now, are you thinking, "hey, automatic 2 buckets right there?"
Larry Drew II: yes. He's good every time. That's just me. [audio difficulties]
Q: Larry, can you talk about what you guys did defensively? I mean, they didn't run as many high screens as Irvine did the other night. You guys definitely hung better with them tonight.
Larry Drew II: [audio difficulties] Defense starts with me. Coach, we had a talk in the hallway just about how defense starts with me. So I took it upon myself. [audio difficulties] The rest of the guys followed that.
Q: Norman, when you guys were playing with a big lead in a blowout, mentally is it tough to stay in the game? How do you kind of keep the flow?
Norman: we think the score is 0-0. Every time we come out. No matter what the lead is. No matter what the score is. 0-0. Tied ballgame. Keep our intensity. We don't let up on the guys. Whether we're winning by 20 or winning by 2. Keep that same intensity.
Q: Norman, when you see the offense rolling like it did tonight, how much confidence does it give you going forward?
Norman: It gives us a lot of confidence. Going for a good shot. It just goes on from there. The flow was great. The team was knocking down shots. We just kept the flow of the game and I was able to hit my shots this game.
Q: Norman, you guys thinking about getting to 100?
Norman: We tried. The team was really trying to get 100. To see a double zero is a great feeling to get at the end of a game.
Q: Can you tell us about Georgetown?
Larry Drew II: Georgetown is a very well-coached team. They play extremely hard. They're an excellent program. They're going to come out and give their best effort. [audio difficulties]

Open Business Intelligence from Infobright and Jaspersoft
The Infobright and Jaspersoft firms have combined their open source software into an integrated data warehousing and business intelligence solution.
Infobright Community Edition (ICE) is not multipurpose data storage. Instead, the GPL software is intended for loading data and using it in read-only mode, called data warehousing. The storage can be as much as 30 TBytes of data, a table can contain billions of records. The software is available for Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Windows (32-bit). A white paper goes into some of the details of the Infobright architecture. The database system used is MySQL.
Jaspersoft adds its Business Intelligence Suite to the Community Edition solution. Jaspersoft is under LGPL and consists of the BI Suite, JasperReports, iReport, JasperServer, JasperAnalysis and JasperETL (Extract Transfer Load). The software is ready for download at the Jasperforge site.
The combined Infobright and Jaspersoft project page evidently still has problems with the Infobright CE (ICE) download data.
However, the data warehousing software is also available at the Infobright site. A short Jaspersoft data sheet includes the critical aspects of the integrated solution.
According to the partner firms, the combined solution is already in production at Bi3 Solutions, which provides business intelligence and collaborative performance management solutions using the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.
