Samsung EX2F review – Introduction
When the Samsung EX1 was announced just over two years ago, it demonstrated that the company is perfectly capable of producing a compact camera for 'serious' photographers. Back then, there was little in the way of competition in an area of the market long dominated by Canon's PowerShot G-series cameras. The Samsung EX2F is a direct replacement for the EX1, but now the competition has warmed up somewhat with models from most of the big camera brands, such as the Fujifilm X10, Olympus XZ-2 and Sony Cyber-shot RX100.
In order to make the Samsung EX2F stand out from the competition, Samsung has packed the camera with features and included an even faster lens, just as Panasonic has done with its Lumix DMC-LX7. Both cameras are the fastest around, with a maximum f/1.4 aperture at 24mm, but in the EX2F it is reduced to f/2.7 at its 80mm telephoto end while the LX7 is f/2.3. Pair this fast lens with Dual Image Stabilisation and the EX2F can be used in its optimum ISO settings in low-contrast light. The 'F' indicates that the EX2F has built-in Wi-Fi for immediate image upload and sharing, which is an area of the market where Samsung has been leading the way.
While some of the improvements to the EX2F over its predecessor appear to be subtle, the camera has been modified across the board and offers an impressive feature set. If the marketing is anything to go by, Samsung is most pleased with the camera's f/1.4-2.7 24-80mm lens (compared with the EX1's 24-72mm f/1.8-2.4 unit). The camera has a built-in ND filter, which reduces the level of light entering through the lens. Even with a fast maximum 1/4000sec shutter speed and ISO 80 setting, the filter is a useful tool. The ISO 80-3200 range can now be expanded up to ISO 12,800.
Images are recorded onto a revised 7.44×5.58mm back-illuminated CMOS sensor with 12.4 million effective pixels (the EX1 features a 10-million-pixel CCD sensor). Raw and JPEG capture is possible, with full-resolution raw files taking up approximately 30MB and JPEGs around 5MB.
There are numerous shooting modes to choose from, some of which are new to the camera. The Magic Plus menu contains, among others, panorama, HDR, split shot, picture in picture and magic frame.
In the image playback menu, there are several edits that can be made to an image in-camera. Edits include Smart filters like vignetting and old film, as well as image adjustments such as saturation, contrast and brightness. With this in mind, the camera can be left in its standard shooting mode and these changes made post-capture. When combined with its Wi-Fi capability, the EX2F can be used to edit and share images without the aid of a computer, and these features are genuinely useful tools rather than just gimmicks.
Unsurprisingly, Samsung has improved the video capture capability, given that the EX1 featured a modest 480p format. The EX2F has full HD 1080p capture with stereo sound. If a compact camera needs to offer a great feature set in order to tempt those whose main camera is their mobile phone, then the EX2F succeeds.
Image: Panorama mode is consistently reliable in use and provides an approximate 180° angle of view. It relies on the shutter being pressed continuously during capture
Build and handling
At 112x62x29mm, the EX2F is similar in size to the EX1, but it is significantly lighter at 286g. This still means the camera is quite a bulky unit when compared to some of its competitors, but even with its lens protrusion (where the camera is actually nearer 45mm deep and not the quoted 29mm) it is small enough to slide in a trouser pocket.
There is little change to the style of the camera, with the body of the EX2F being made from 'high-intensity' magnesium alloy with a rubberised handgrip. The only real change to the body is that some of the controls have moved around, with a couple of new options to accommodate the
Wi-Fi functionality.
Serious photographers will appreciate the number of controls directly accessible on the camera body. The rear and front wheels can also be used for manual exposure and menu navigation, while there are two dials on the top-plate – one for drive mode and the other for shooting modes, which includes a Wi-Fi option. Through the Wi-Fi menu, images can be shared via email, viewed on a compatible TV or backed up. Samsung's own MobileLink and Remote Viewfinder apps can also be accessed to link the camera to a phone (for sharing images and remotely controlling the camera respectively). Incorporating manual controls on the lens barrel, such as the company's iFn button, would be good for an 'authentic' feel.
The built-in flash has a modest output, but a hotshoe port is compatible with (optional) external flash units for those who need an extra bit of power.
The electronic zoom lens can be a little fiddly to handle when trying to get the correct focal length, but no more so than other electronic zooms. I would like to see a stepped zoom option. Like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7, the EX2F has a separate lens cap that is manually attached. The lens extends on start-up, and if the lens cap is in place the camera flashes a warning and then switches off. We did not like this in the EX1, and nor do we like here.
All in all, the EX2F handles really well, but I would like to see faster processing of large raw files. I found it frustrating to have to wait an extra second or two before I could take control of the camera again after capture. Those who shoot JPEG-only will not share the same frustration.
White balance and colour
I suspect that many photographers will keep the camera in its auto white balance setting, and most of the time this will be fine. Overall, the AWB is a little cool, but this is only really noticeable when directly compared with the preset or a custom reading. The difference in sunny conditions is subtle, while the overcast preset goes too far the other way with an overly warm rendition. As with any camera, it is best to use a custom WB setting, which here is quickly achieved by selecting the option and pressing the shutter for a measurement.
Interestingly, the camera does not have a colour mode menu, so a vivid or neutral colour rendition is achieved by changing the saturation in the image adjustments menu. In Samsung's compact system cameras the Picture Wizard is used for colour modes. By creating a vivid setting, reds in particular are too bold to be 'real'. Without adjusting the saturation, I find the colour rendition is punchy and believable.
The direct control for metering found on the Samsung EX1 has been replaced by a control for Wi-Fi on the EX2F. The multi, centreweighted and spot metering options can now be accessed via the function or main menu. The multi-segment metering, thankfully, is predictable. It produces print-ready images, which benefit from underexposure being dialled in to avoid the loss of detail in highlight areas (for scenes with a wide dynamic range). Exposure compensation can be controlled quickly by pushing in the front dial and using this dial to makes the changes. For most of the test, I found it best to have -0.3 or -0.7EV dialled in.
Noise, resolution and sensitivity
These images show 72ppi (100% on a computer screen) sections of images of a resolution chart, captured with the lens at its 80mm setting. We show the section of the resolution chart where the camera starts to fail to reproduce the lines separately. The higher the number visible in these images, the better the camera's detail resolution at the specified sensitivity setting.
With a 12.4-million-pixel resolution, it comes as no surprise that the EX2F outresolves its 10-million-pixel predecessor, impressively scoring 28 on our charts all the way to ISO 200. This is a strong performance in the centre of the frame, while at the wide 24mm focal length there is a minor drop off in edge detail due to lens distortion.
It is difficult to extract the best possible detail from the raw files using the company's Data Converter raw software. This is reflected in our resolution charts, where processed JPEGs outresolve the raw equivalent at ISO 100. Certainly, in low light it is best to shoot in raw, and once the camera's raw files are compatible with software such as Adobe Lightroom, I would expect to get more detail from the files.
There are key points where the noise levels increase noticeably with a subsequent drop the level of resolved detail. At ISO 800 there is a significant drop in resolution as detail begins to become mushy, as it does at ISO 3200. I would avoid this final native setting, along with the two new extended settings that takes the ISO 'sensitivity' up to 12,800, because detail is poor and the tones are flat. The EX2F is a camera that performs particularly well in good light.
We were moderately impressed with the autofocus of the EX1, and the system has not been updated on the EX2F. That said, most of the competition has not developed in this area, either. For static subjects in good light, the EX2F is quick to latch onto its subject. Due to the relatively small size of the sensor, the camera is able to offer a macro mode with close focus of 1cm.
Selecting the correct focus area helps the speed and accuracy of focusing. Multi AF is reliable enough, but for precise focusing spot AF is best. Spot AF can be selected from any one of 45 points in the central area of the frame, although the size of the focus point cannot be altered and is quite large.
LCD, viewfinder and video
The EX2F's 3in rear screen is an AMOLED type, and exactly the same as the one used in the EX1. This means its display is bright and crisp, and handily can be articulated via its hinge on the side of the camera for viewing from a number of angles – a feature not common in this class. It is not a touch-sensitive type, so shutter and focus points are selected using the controls on the camera body.
The camera does not feature a viewfinder of any kind, although the company's OVF1 optical viewfinder can be attached to the hotshoe port. Samsung has brought the video capabilities of the EX2F in line with most of the competition, with full HD 1080p video capture possible at 30fps and with stereo sound. An optional EM10 external microphone can be attached to the camera too.
Dynamic range
Like most cameras, the performance of the EX2F is affected by the available light, exposure and ISO setting used. In low-contrast light, where a high ISO is required, the range of tones and colours is compromised. Images shot in good light are punchy, with a good level of tonal detail maintained in sunny skies. The introduction of an HDR mode is a saving grace for those scenes with a range of tones beyond the camera. In this mode, it is possible to meter for the highlights of the sky, yet still gain detail from the shadow and midtone areas. This option is preferable when you need to pull back detail from shadows where it can be noisy due to underexposure.
Our verdict
Like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7, the Samsung EX2F is a solid camera without being spectacular. It builds well on its predecessor and is an attractive proposition in many ways, such as its good build quality, fast and sharp lens, and variety of shooting modes. Its trump card is the Wi-Fi capability and in-camera editing, which together can eliminate the need for a computer for many images and is particularly suited to this market. Compared to some of today's competition, the imaging sensor used here is relatively small, while the camera body is quite large, which could put some people off. Likewise, serious photographers are likely to be annoyed by the slow file processing speed. All in all, though, the EX2F will satisfy those looking for a camera that gives good quality images yet is fun to use.

Non-MU Programs
Non-MU Study Abroad Programs
Whether you study through an MU or Non-MU program, you are required to first apply for study abroad approval through the Office of Global Education & Partnerships. All Non-MU program applicants must first apply to and receive approval from our office to verify that the program meets all of the necessary requirements. There are resources in the office to help you research and select a program that meets your needs if you require assistance in finding a suitable program. If you would like to schedule an initial interest meeting with the Non-MU Program Coordinator to discuss these options, complete the form below and bring it to the Cumberland House.
Initial Interest Form (PDF)
Below are the steps to study abroad through a Non-MU Program:
- Research study abroad programs. If there are multiple countries you are considering as a study abroad destination, you will need to do some research to narrow down your options. Determine which country has programs that will best suit your academic, personal, and financial needs.
Some resources that can be used to search for a suitable program are listed below:
- Look through the IIE Passport Guide in our office or you can search www.iiepassport.org to view the same program information in an online format.
- PA State System programs. Many of the other PA state universities have study abroad partnerships that have already been verified and approved by our office. Please keep in mind that you do not necessarily have to go through a PA State University, and that other Universities may have study abroad programs that better suit your needs.
- Internet. Internet searches for study abroad programs in the location of your choice can also be helpful; however the IIE Passport website tends to be more comprehensive than a standard Yahoo or Google search.
- Meet with your academic advisor about your plans to study abroad. Discuss how this will affect your academic progress and inform your advisor that you will need to meet with him/her in the future to discuss course equivalencies. Write down any concerns you or your advisor have, and discuss them with the Non-MU Program Coordinator.
- Select a study abroad program. When choosing a program there are many factors to keep in mind:
- Program location – country, city vs. rural, university
- Program costs (Be sure to carefully read what the costs include. One program may seem more expensive than another, but it may be because it includes meal options, room and board, excursions, etc. while the other program may only include tuition.)
- GPA requirements of the program
- Language requirements of the program and what language the courses are taught in. Do you meet the proficiency?
- Course offering and credit equivalences – Does this institution offer courses that will ensure you can make academic progress? Are you looking to take classes in your major/minor or mostly general education courses? Ask your advisor and department chair if there are any restrictions as to which courses can be taken abroad. Some departments have their own requirements on what courses can be transferred in and what ones must be taken at MU. In most cases, credit equivalencies are determined by contact hours.
- Make note of who is issuing the credit. In order to transfer credit to Millersville, credit must be issued by an accredited university. (In some cases you may be required to pay an additional fee for this.)
- Contact the Non-MU Program Coordinator to approve your program. Once you have received approval regarding your desired program, you may then download the Non-MU application from the Global Education website. You may only apply to study abroad through ONE Non-MU program at a time. See our homepage for dates of application availability and deadlines.
- Complete the application (including all items on the checklist) and bring it back to the Cumberland House on or before the deadline.
- The Office of Global Education & Partnerships will then review your application for final study abroad approval. You will receive notice of acceptance within approximately 2 weeks of the application deadline.
- Once approved, you should then apply directly to the Non-MU study abroad program.
- The Non-MU Program Coordinator will contact you to discuss the next steps in the study abroad process. You will need to complete pre-departure paperwork shortly after your acceptance. You will gain access to this paperwork via your D2L account. All forms and materials will need to be returned by the designated date.
Non-MU Professor-Led Courses Abroad
Millersville University is now collaborating with Maryville University in offering short-term courses abroad (referred to as MOSAIC) led by Millersville or Maryville faculty. Program lengths range from ten days to five weeks during the summer session and students can earn 3-6 credits on most programs (specific credit offerings vary by program). Please note: Academic credit is granted by Maryville University; therefore, interested students must follow the Non-MU study abroad process.
Any student interested in participating through one of the MOSAIC courses should contact Millersville's Office of Global Education for more information regarding the application process. For a list of MOSAIC courses, visit the following website: Study Abroad/Maryville University
Current Millersville/Maryville MOSAIC Programs for Summer 2017:

Philadelphia Phillies (52-63) vs Washington Nationals (55-60)
Cliff Lee (10-5, 3.13) vs. Taylor Jordan (1-3, 3.76)
Time: 7:05, Nationals Park
Weather: 81, chance of storms
Media: Twitter and Facebook
Prior to the start of the 2013 season, the Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies were predicted by many to compete in the National League East; however, both teams have failed to meet those expectations. Both teams have been counted out of the race, but they are giving some of their younger players a chance to play.
Friday was another ugly night for the Phillies as they were blown out by the Nats, 9-2. They'll turn to Cliff Lee for a better outing, but he has even been struggling lately. Lee is 0-3 with a 6.00 ERA in his last three starts (18 innings). He has been a victim of the long ball, even in parks that aren't exactly hitter-friendly.
Go Phillies!

I never gave much possibility to it even getting this far, and he's still a real longshot, but it might be time to somewhat safely expect Darin Ruf to be mentioned as an ROY candidate.
Considering his late call up, just being mentioned and not drawing laughter is pretty good accomplishment.
You just can't argue with his consistency at the plate, despite only a half year with the big club.
How Ruf would have done had he played all year, we'll never know, maybe the extra half year of grooming helped, maybe not, but it's encouraging that he's now had almost 2 good second halves in a row.
Just to be clear, "almost 2 good second halves" is 12 games (37 PAs), and then 27 games (109 PAs), for a total of 146 PAs, or a combined total of about 1/5 to 1/4 of a season.
Ah – you must mean including his AA and AAA hitting — gotcha.
(tuning in Phillies game a little late…) WOW! Winning 4-0 in the 2nd? You think that's enough of a lead for this sorry team?
I don't know if any sports books have in game regular season baseball lines for the true ultimate junkies, but if they had a line on this game entering this inning,, you could probably have gotten a really good price on the Phils. Like maybe 100 to win 150. Sort of like having a 4 game lead with 5 to play, and having the feeling the 2nd place team has 'em right where they want 'e,.
We'll see how it shakes out. Maybe that's the contrarian indicator kiss o death leading to a Phils win.
Think Bryce Harper has a high baseball iq?
aw crap…
crap crap crap
No matter hiow many Phillie fans he's rubbed the wrong way since leaving, that is straight up excellence, J Dub nailing hit 1,000 on a dinger in the midst of a hot streak.
If he wasn't so well paiud, his game, despite a lot of injuries would be more appreciated.
But the bottom line is all J Dub's money will buy a lot of rea; estate in Springfield. Glad to see him doing well.
ugh. you have got to be kidding me…
Diekman and Zack in 1 inning just cracks me up.
Be kinda like Qualls and Durbin in 1 frame.
How did Zack get Tug's number? That's worst than Wockenfuss getting 14 after Pete left.
God I loved his batting stance though. John Wockenfuss' that is.
Or Pete after Del Ennis .. Should have been retired in honor of Del.
huh. And here I was, convinced that the Phils would go down 1-2-3 after that 5-run blow-out 7th.
Over and over and over again like the bad signings.
What pisses me off the most is we now have Howard Rollins and Utley locked up for the next 2 years.
They will make $25,000,000.00 $15,000,000.00 and $11,000,000.00 respectively.
This year they have 45, 42 and 32 RBI this year.
Talk about getting bang for your buck.
Now some dope cry about injuries? I guess cause you can expect them to not get hurt the next few years as they get older and more feeble.
Ruben is a JOKE.
It is a disgrace that he continues to have a job.
I seriously think he owes me 100$
The Mets aren't even going to have wright the rest of the year.
But this isn't close.
Let me add to that
The team will Bat Rollins first Utley 3rd and Howard 4th
Jimmy has a .303 On bases and a .590 OPS so what?
Howard has a .713 OPS???? so what
Utley plays 65 games a year???????
So what
Ruben how do you even look in the mirror.
Just quit retire. STOP
If they wont fire you just quit.
Walk off.
Do it right now and you don't owe me 100$
Ill send you 100$
Originality – .5, screamed the judges in unison.
Accuracy – much higher
Mets 2, Dbacks zippo.
Magic number calculation coming soon.
The tirades need freshening. Rollins has only batted first in 52 games, and it would have been quite a bit fewer if Revere hadn't gotten hurt. Utley has only batted 3rd 45 times, and as the best hitter on the team traditional lineup construction would have him hit 3rd all of the time. And Howard SHOULD be hitting 4th against the 72% of pitchers who throw right.
Anyway, that's an awful lot of drama, most of it ill-conceived.
You are happy having those 3 occupying 3 of our 4 top spots in your line up the next 2 years?
At over 50 million a year in salary?
And having the guy who did those deals still calling the shots?
And you think they will contend either of the net 2 years?
If so god bless you.
I find that ill-conceived.
I have no problem with Utley and Howard in the top 4, at least vs. righties. I'd be fine Rollins hitting lower, but it depends who else is in the lineup, and in the end, where he hits in the order makes not that much difference.
As for the money, it's a mixed bag, as I'm sure know whatever the pretense. Howard's is a bad contract, but it is what it is. Rollins is a fine contract that he will likely earn (in spite of poor season so far). Utley's is an innovative, team friendly contract for an elite second baseman. Tough to see how anyone can have a problem with that one.
Amaro is not among the best (although the Utley deal is), and he's not among the worst. I can sit here and wish ownership would hire someone else, but truth be told, I expect they would hire someone pretty much like Amaro.
I guess even Amaro needs someone to be in his corner.
You could not find a worse GM.
Omar Minaya with the Mets comes to mind is about the only one.
What hes done with a nice farm system and roster is really a shame.
there is no salary cap.
But Shenkman I always love your optimism and I always wish the guys who think this is still an elite team were correct.
But this is one of the 3 or 4 worst teams in the sport now.
that shouldn't happen to a market like this with a team with support like this.
Madoff screwed the Mets ( who are ahead of the Phillies now with a better farm system)
The Phils got screwed by Amaro.
He inherited a farm system in the 10-12 range and which is now, by all expectations around 15.
He inherited a roster of 30-year olds, and held on to some of them.
He walked the line this year, starting a rebuild and not signing any new crippling contracts, while at the same time giving the team a chance to win if things broke right — they did not, by and large.
Now that they're out of it, every loss helps the chances of a protected draft pick. They're tied for 8th worst record, and the first ten picks are protected when signing a free agent (as well as being better picks).
Just watching on tv, when Werth is at the plate, the pitches look like grapefruits. I can just imagine how big they look to him. And that was at least against a real reliever in Garcia. An out, but it sure won't diminish his confidence.

And speaking of running for the door ...
No. 2: Having bad hygiene/manners
Nothing turns a potential mate off more than someone who is smelly, unkempt or uncouth.
Showing up for your date fresh out of a session at the gym with no shower is likely to get you the boot before the date even gets off the ground. Forgetting to iron your clothes or comb your hair is not very impressive, either; it sends your date the signal that you really don't care enough about her to bother.
And while you don't have to be a protégé of Miss Manners to make a good impression on your date, you don't exactly want to take your cues from Larry the Cable Guy either.
Chewing with your mouth open at dinner or passing gas during a movie are sure ways to guarantee that there is no second date in your future.
And here is one more ...
No. 1: Bringing a sidekick
You may think that it is common sense that when you are going on a date, it is just going to be the two of you.
But you would be surprised at how many people decide to bring their best friend, their brother or their child along on the date with them. Usually there is some last-minute excuse as to why "two's company" has suddenly turned into "three's a crowd."
The friend just showed up and had nowhere to go; the babysitter fell through; we are Siamese twins. OK, the last one is a valid excuse.
But no matter how nervous you are about being alone with this person, bringing a sidekick is only going to make matters worse. If you're worried about your safety, simply meet in a public place.
And just remember, even Batman doesn't bring Robin everywhere he goes.

For many in South Carolina, fireworks have become a way of life during the holidays. As exciting as this may seem, people often forget that they are playing with dangerous chemicals and combustibles that can destroy property and injure people.
These deceptively simple objects explode, throw hot sparks through the air, and can often reach temperatures hotter than 1,800 degrees.
If you plan to shoot your own fireworks, the Office of State Fire Marshal, offers the following safety tips to help reduce the chances of a destructive fire and/or injury:

October 1, 2013 —
Monticello Police arrested Abeaseah Dossen (32) of Monticello on Saturday 9/28/13. At 1:20 PM Saturday Monticello Police officer Scott Galligan was on patrol when he observed Dossen operating a 2004 Honda motorcycle between 60-70 MPH in a westerly direction on Broadway in the village of Monticello. The posted speed limit is 30 MPH in the village of Monticello.
PO Galligan attempted to stop Dossen but Dossen fled from the officer continuing at a high rate of speed on the motorcycle. PO Galligan pursued Dossen with emergency lights and siren onto Varnell road, Leonard road, and Wildcat road and to south Maplewood road. While on south Maplewood road Dossen jumped off the motorcycle and fled on foot into a wooded area.
Monticello police assisted by the State Police and Sullivan county sheriff deputies searched for Dossen but he could not be located at that time. Officers recovered the motorcycle and a computer check revealed that the motorcycle had been reported stolen to the NYPD on 9/6/13. Officers also recovered was a cellular phone from the motorcycle.
Upon further investigation officers were able to identify Dossen as the motorcycle operator and were familiar were he worked in the village of Monticello. Dossen was then arrested at 4:20 PM when officers went to his job and found him there. Dossen was arraigned in the town of liberty justice court and remanded to the Sullivan County Jail on $25,000.00 bail pending further action in the village of Monticello justice court.
Dossen was charged with felonies for criminal possession of stolen property in the 3rd degree and reckless endangerment in the 1st degree. Dossen was also charged with misdemeanors for unlawfully fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle in the 3rd degree, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the 3rd degree and reckless driving. He was also issued 10 vehicle and traffic summons.

Law education at Yeshiva University includes graduate study at our renowned Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. On the undergraduate level, YU's Office of Pre-law Advisement helps jump-start students' law education and career by providing one-on-one guidance from the time students begin to consider a career in the law all the way until they matriculate in law school.
Yeshiva University's strong liberal arts education and dual curriculum provide an excellent background for law school. Undergraduate students interested in pursuing a legal career should meet with the pre-law adviser in the Office of Pre-Law Advisement to map out their courses, learn of internship opportunities, draft their personal statements and complete their law school applications. In addition, group advising, in the form of pre-law workshops, is also offered throughout the year.
The office interacts with various legal employers and the Yeshiva University Career Center to identify internship opportunities that are suitable for our students. One of the most successful pre-law internship programs is coordinated by the Office of Pre-Law Advisement: the Yeshiva University Judicial Internship Program, which places YU undergraduates with judges throughout the New York State Unified Court System.
Yeshiva University also has a vibrant student-run pre-law society which, in conjunction with the office, arranges for a wide range of pre-law speakers from academic and professional settings to visit the campus and share their experiences.
Noted for its academic strengths in numerous areas of study and its highly acclaimed programs in intellectual property and information law, alternative dispute resolution, legal ethics and clinical education, the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law offers a JD program for those with a bachelor's degree and LLM programs for law school graduates who wish to pursue advanced study. Joint degree options include:
Outside the classrooms, Cardozo's rich variety of internships, externships and nationally recognized programs and clinics—such as the Innocence Project and the Holocaust Claims Restitution Practicum—provide students hands-on training for the courtroom, the corporate boardroom, the DA's Office and government or public service organizations.

Lauzon endorses new budget proposals
BARRE Mayor Thomas Lauzon says he didnt support either of the major budget proposals that were handily rejected by Granite City voters last month, but he does now.
Citing adjustments made to spending plans for both the city and its central elementary school, and what he views as a now-tolerable increase in the local tax rate, Lauzon said Tuesday night that he is prepared to vote for both budgets next month and is urging others to do the same.
I am hopeful that people will get out and recognize the effort that has gone (into revising these budgets), he said, suggesting the sticker shock that prompted voters to defeat them on Town Meeting Day was understandable.
Lauzon said even he voted against the proposed budgets, which would have collectively added more than 13 cents to the local tax rate, an increase of about 4.9 percent. That increase would have meant paying an additional $136.50 in property taxes for every $100,000 in assessed value.
Thanks to a team effort that was a mix of hard work and good fortune, numbers Lauzon once viewed as too high are now about right, according to the mayor.
Based on the latest projections, Granite City voters are facing a rate hike of about 6.2 cents, or 2.2 percent. If both budgets are approved next month, property owners can expect to pay an extra $61.70 in taxes for every $100,000 of assessed value less than half the increase they were facing in March.
On a night when the superintendent of schools was a no-show, and the chairman of a citizens budget committee arrived just in time to provide both a brief overview and an endorsement of the municipal spending plan, Lauzon said he hopes voters find those new numbers palatable.
If this budget doesnt pass Im not quite sure where we go, Lauzon said, suggesting that cutting programs would be a mistake and a summerlong budget battle would be unfortunate, if not unprecedented in Barre.
Last year it took three tries to get the municipal budget passed. Lauzon is hoping this year is more like 2008, when a single revote did the trick, than 2006, when it took four tries to pass budgets for the city, its elementary school and the local union high school.
It seemed like we just voted the budget all summer long because we did, Lauzon recalled. It was just brutal.
According to him, it was a focus-shifting, momentum-sapping experience that he isnt interested in repeating, particularly at a time when Barre is experiencing something of a renaissance.
Weve just got work to do, and it really takes the wind out of your sails when youre having to stop, let all of your other plans idle (because) you cant advance any of them forward and youve got to spend the time re-presenting a budget, he said.
Lauzon left the explanation of both budgets that will be on the ballot in Barre next month to Justin Johnson, chairman of a council-appointed citizens finance committee, and Councilor Lucas Herring, who is chairman of the local school board and offered to pinch hit for Superintendent John Bacon.
Johnson defended the $10.29 million municipal budget proposal that the committee unanimously endorsed after a review earlier this year.
Theres not a lot of fat in this budget at all, Johnson said, noting it no longer included $183,000 to hire two new police officers.
The committee did not recommend the two new police positions in the failed version of the budget, but was overridden by a divided City Council.
That decision set the stage for residents rejection of the municipal budget in a 752-386 vote, prompting the council to abandon the plan to hire new officers and embrace the budget first proposed by the committee.
According to Johnson, the committees recommendation reflected an honest attempt to balance the cost of operating a full-service city with the needs of its taxpayers.
Johnson said that meant gambling that fuel prices wont spike and a harsh winter wont require more road salt, and opting not to fund potentially worthy proposals like hiring a finance director and investing in a management study.
We feel that (the budget) is tight, but were trying to think about the voters as well, he said.
Herring said the School Board got the message after voters handily rejected its $12.4 million budget request, 652-483, last month.
What we heard loud and clear is were all working from the same tax base, Herring said.
According to Herring, the board identified nearly $250,000 in cuts and adjustments including a savings of roughly $100,000 in busing costs that can be traced to bids that were better than expected. The district also saved nearly $30,000 on health insurance due to what proved to be an overly conservative estimate, and has shelved the planned expansion of its preschool program, saving $90,000 in personnel costs.
The preschool program was something we were trying to be proactive with, but this just wasnt the year for it, he said.
Both revised budgets will be on the ballot for the May 14 special election and will be joined by one of the special articles that voters defeated last month. The school districts request for $61,000 to pay for its share of a police officer who is assigned to Barre City Elementary and Middle School will be revoted. That typically popular ballot item was narrowly defeated, 589-547, on Town Meeting Day.
Residents with questions or concerns about either of the budgets are encouraged to attend a joint informational meeting at the Barre Opera House at 6:30 p.m. May 6.

NetBSD is well-known for its portability, but since the release of NetBSD 2.0, the project has also included tons of interesting and unique features. While waiting for the upcoming 3.0, Federico Biancuzzi interviewed Roland Dowdeswell, the author of the Crypto-Graphic Disk system. This is a must-read for any laptop owner (and paranoid androids)!
Could you introduce yourself?
Roland Dowdeswell: By day, I work for a major financial institution in New York. In the past, I have also consulted extensively and, like most IT people of my age, co-founded a startup in Silicon Valley. I've been involved in the NetBSD Project for a number of years, but honestly I devote a vast majority of my time to my job and don't contribute as much as I might like to.
What is CGD?
RD: CGD (PDF) is an encrypted pseudo disk driver. It sits on top of another disk or partition and presents a new virtual disk to the rest of the operating system. Each disk write (read) to the pseudo disk is encrypted (decrypted) and then performed on the underlying disk. The new disk can then be partitioned and used for any purpose that a normal disk can. This is the same approach as used by many software RAID solutions.
Why did you choose to create CGD?
RD: Like many open source projects, I created CGD because I wanted it myself. At the time, the only BSD-licensed alternative was OpenBSD svnd driver, which did not take steps to frustrate dictionary attacks and only supported a single cipher (blowfish). So I decided that I should write my own.
Did anyone finance the development?
RD: No, I took a little time off from consulting to do it.
How does it work from a user standpoint?
RD: First, you set up the parameters file. This file contains the information that
cgdconfig (PDF) needs to configure the disk, including the encryption method, the key generation procedures, etc.:
# cgdconfig -g aes-cbc 256 > /etc/cgd/wd0f
The default key generation method is PKCS#5 PBKDF2, which generates a key from a pass phrase. It is also possible to setup n-factor authentication or simply store the key in the file.
Once you have the parameters file, then you need to configure the disk for the first time:
# cgdconfig -V re-enter cgd0 /dev/wd0f
/dev/wd0f's passphrase:
/dev/wd0f's passphrase:
-V re-enter flag tells
cgdconfig to prompt for the pass phrase twice and check that they are the same. In general usage,
cgdconfig will check that the disk contains either a valid disklabel or filesystem with the provided key. Of course, the first time there will be neither of these.
At this point, you have a disk, /dev/cgd0[a-h], which you set up however you want; for example, label the disk and create filesystems. Once the disk is properly set up,
# cgdconfig -u cgd0
will unconfigure the disk and
# cgdconfig cgd0 /dev/wd0f
will configure it.
NetBSD's rc system supports configuring CGD disks on boot by adding them to /etc/cgd/cgd.conf.
If you want to provide a different pass phrase for another system administrator, you can create a different parameters file from the first one, which will decrypt the disk with a different pass phrase:
# cgdconfig -G old_params > new_params
This method can be used to change the pass phrase, if old_params is securely erased.
If I'm already using a disk full of data, how can I encrypt it? Should I use a new empty slice and then move data there?
RD: Yes. To encrypt an existing partition, you will need to create a new, encrypted partition and move the data to it.
How much space does the crypto use? Does it grow with data, or is it fixed based on disk size?
RD: The current encryption modes that CGD implements do not change the size of the data, beyond the storage size of the parameters file, which specifies how the disk in encrypted and how the key is generated. This is generally a few hundred bytes.
What steps does CGD use to encrypt information, and which does it use for the inverse path?
RD: First,
cgdconfig will read the parameters file to obtain configuration parameters such as the key generation method, the encryption algorithm, the key length, and the Initialization Vector generation method.
The default key generation method is PKCS#5 PBKDF2, which uses a pass phrase. PCKS#5 PBKDF2 is a salted iterated hash. The salt prevents offline dictionary attacks, so you cannot precompute a dictionary without having access to the parameters file. Iterating makes each guess in a dictionary attack more expensive. The iteration count is defaulted to make the algorithm take 2 seconds on the current hardware.
The currently supported encryption algorithms are AES (128-, 192-, and 256-bit keys), blowfish (40-448-bit key), and 3DES (192-bit key). Providing multiple ciphers allows the user to make trade-offs between security and performance. In the case that weaknesses in a cipher are discovered, the user can switch to another cipher without needing to upgrade to a new version of the operating system.
Each sector is encrypted independently. To encrypt a sector:
Decryption operates in the same way.
Once I have an encrypted slice, can I switch cipher or disable cgd?
RD: There is currently no way to change the encryption type of an existing partition in place. The procedure to accomplish this is to create a new partition and move the data to it. I have been considering writing a tool to do this, though.
Does it interact in a special way with hardware/software RAID?
RD: No.
Does it take advantage of cryptography hardware such as accelerators and random number generators?
RD: Not yet, but I've been planning to do this at some point.
Is there a RAM/CPU minimum requirement?
RD: There is no minimum RAM or CPU requirement, but one will find that slower CPUs will impose a larger performance penalty.
How much does it limit I/O performance?
RD: It depends on the speed of the CPU versus the speed of the disks. There are two main effects. The maximum throughput can be limited by the CPU speed. Also, CGD will impose an additional latency on each disk operation, since the encryption must occur before writes and the decryption must occur after reads.
For laptops with Speed Step, CGD's performance will differ greatly in the different modes.
I think that every laptop owner is terrified by the idea of having it stolen. If such a bad event happens, what type of protection does CGD offer against an attacker with physical access to the disk?
RD: If the laptop is off, then the attacker would have to break the cryptography either by performing a dictionary attack on your pass phrase or by trying to brute-force the key.
A dictionary attack is attempting to guess the pass phrase which is used to generate the key that encrypts the disk. It is generally the most feasible attack on any cryptographic system, since users do not choose pass phrases which are nearly as secure as modern ciphers. CGD uses PKCS#5 PBKDF2 (an iterated salted hash) to frustrate dictionary attacks. What this does is increase the computation required to guess each pass phrase. CGD also provides a mechanism for 2-factor authentication where additional key material can be stored on a USB device.
A brute-force attack on the key is guessing the key to the cipher. This should be infeasible for all of the ciphers that CGD supports: AES 128, AES 192, AES 256, 3DES, and Blowfish. All of these have keys that are over 100 bits long and would take an average of over 2^100 guesses.
If the laptop is stolen while it is still on or in suspend mode, then an attacker might be able to retrieve the key from memory.
You said, "CGD also provides a mechanism for 2-factor authentication where additional key material can be stored on a USB device." How does it work?
RD: When setting up a CGD device, one creates a parameters file. This file contains all sorts of information, including the encryption types, the key lengths, and the methods for generating keys. Most of the time, one will generate a key from a pass phrase using PKCS#5 PBKDF2, but one can specify more than one key generation method. If multiple methods are specified, then the results of each will be XORed together to produce the final key. So, to use 2-factor authentication, what one does is specify two key generation methods; one will be a pass phrase based method such as PKCS#5 PBKDF2, and the other will be a simple key, which is just stored in the parameters file. Now, you just put the parameters file on a USB device. And without the USB device, knowledge of the pass phrase does not yield the resulting key.
What happens if I lose my key? What if I forget my pass phrase?
RD: If you lose your key or forget your pass phrase, then you have lost your data. You are in the same position as the person who stole your laptop. If this is a concern, then you should back up your data (securely, of course.)
cgdconfig provides multiple methods to verify the pass phrase. It can scan for a valid disklabel or a valid FFS filesystem. I'm wondering how many probabilities are there that an invalid password would generate a valid disklabel/filesystem?
RD: The probabilities that an invalid password would verify correctly are actually quite small. Let's consider the disklabel. Currently, we validate four things: the 32-bit magic number, which is repeated twice; the 32-bit checksum; and the number of partitions. The number of partitions is stored in a 16-bit integer but is limited, depending on the architecture, to a maximum of 22. This means that the upper 11 bits are zeros. So, we validate the values of 32 + 32 + 32 + 11 = 107 bits.
If we assume that typing the wrong pass phrase will result in an essentially random block, then the chances that the disklabel will pass the sanity test is 1/2^107. This is a reasonably small number, approximately
We could validate many more bits in the disklabel to get even more certainty; e.g., the sector size, the number of sectors per track, the partition placements, etc. There is more than enough known data in a disklabel that it is unlikely that there exists an incorrect pass phrase that would generate a sane and valid disklabel.
A similar analysis could be performed for the FFS superblock.
Is the code easily portable to other OSes?
RD: Most of the CGD code is in the userland configuration utility, which should be quite easy to port. Kernels tend to have larger differences in APIs and behaviors, so the kernel code would be slightly more difficult to port. CGD has been ported to OpenBSD 3.2 by Ted Unangst, but it was not integrated into the main OpenBSD tree.
Do you know any alternative software that you consider better or that includes features missing in cgd?
RD: CGD and encrypted pseudo disks in general such as OpenBSD's svnd, FreeBSD's GBDE, or Linux's Loop-AES address a particular threat model. Encrypted filesystems offer an answer to a different threat model and contain different trade-offs. For some use cases, the use of an encrypted filesystem such as CFS or nCryptfs might be a better choice. But that said, it is important to understand what the trade-offs are. With CFS and nCryptfs, you gain the ability to have different keys for different users at the expense of exposing a fair amount of the filesystem metadata. Per-user encryption can be important over NFS, but on a laptop it is not important. Even on a server with locally connected disks, one must keep in mind that root can just read any user's keys out of memory--so an encrypted filesystem will not protect you from root, at least while you are logged in.
OpenBSD didn't import CGD even if Ted Unangst wrote a port some time ago. Do you think OpenBSD's
svnd is already offering the same features?
RD: In a sense, OpenBSD's
svnd appears to offer some of the same features as CGD. Before I developed CGD, I examined
svnd and determined that it has a number of deficiencies.
The biggest drawback of
svnd is its lack of security in the
general use case. It is vulnerable to an offline dictionary attack. That is,
you can generate a database mapping known ciphertext blocks on the disk back
into pass phrases that can be accessed in O(1) without even being in possession
of the disk. What's even worse is that the same database will work on any
svnd disk. It is possible--and perhaps even likely--that large
agencies such as the NSA have constructed such a database and can crack a
majority of the
svnds in the world in less than a second. The way
that one prevents an offline dictionary attack is to use a salt in conjunction
with the pass phrase, and this is what I did when I wrote CGD by using PKCS#5
PBKDF2. Offline dictionary attacks have been well-known since at least the
'70s, and salting the pass phrase has been standard practice for over
30 years.
OpenBSD's solution only supports Blowfish, whereas I wanted to ensure that CGD had the flexibility to support a small range of ciphers. This is important for a number of reasons, but mainly we want to provide our users with the ability to make cost-versus-risk decisions. Blowfish is fast, but probably less secure than AES. In some situations, users will decide that speed is more important than security, and in others the reverse will be true. Also, if security issues are discovered in one cipher that we support, then users can change their CGDs to use one of the other ciphers without needing to upgrade to a new version of the operating system. Blowfish also has a cipherblock size of 64 bits, which for sufficiently large disks might be small enough to allow some level of structural analysis.
How does CGD compare to Linux's Loop-AES?
RD: I first looked at Linux's cryptoloop, which has all of the problems of OpenBSD's
svnd and more. Loop-AES addresses these issues in a very different way than CGD does, but from a quick analysis it appears to solve the issues.
What type of differences do you see between CGD and FreeBSD's GBDE?
RD: FreeBSD's GBDE was developed at roughly the same time as CGD, although neither GBDE's author nor I was aware of the other's work. In an accident of fate, I think that I ended up committing CGD about a fortnight before GBDE. We took very different approaches and I was quite interested in the code once it was committed. I quite liked one of the features in GBDE, allowing multiple different pass phrases to decrypt the disk, so I implemented that functionality (although slightly differently in CGD).
GBDE is vulnerable to online dictionary attacks if its 2-factor authentication mechanisms are not used or if the second factor is somehow obtained. This is not quite as serious as the offline dictionary attack that I mentioned in OpenBSD's
svnd. An online dictionary attack must be performed separately for each different drive encrypted with GBDE. This is a rather serious disadvantage, as many FreeBSD users must be using GBDE without 2-factor authentication, falsely believing their security to be substantially more impressive than it actually is. And as I noted in my answer about OpenBSD's
svnd, this is a solved problem. After even pointing this out to GBDE's author a number of months ago, it has not been addressed.
Another issue with GBDE is that it violates the atomicity assumptions that filesystems have about disks. When you write a sector to the disk, GBDE actually performs two distinct writes, in between which the disk is in an unrecoverable, indeterminate state. If the power goes out between these two operations, then the sector will be lost and you cannot recover it--at least not without cracking AES. GBDE is not resilient to either power outages or OS crashes of any variety. This would give me serious reservations about using it in a production environment.
FreeBSD recently introduced GELI. I have only had a chance to have a quick look at it, so I may be missing something, but so far it looks much better. It is simpler and therefore easier to analyze, and unlike GBDE it uses cryptographic techniques in standard, well-understood ways. It also doesn't appear to have the transactionality issues I just mentioned.
What improvements or new features do you plan to add in the future?
RD: I've been planning for a while to add hardware crypto support to CGD. Also, I've been thinking of adding another IV Method, since there is a modular framework for them and one defined. Steven Bellovin has suggested ways that we might be able to relatively cheaply provide integrity checking, which sounds interesting--but it would involve maintaining a transaction log, so it would impact write performance substantially. Another feature that I've been considering would be to add support for creating CGDs to our installer.

Income-Based Repayment Available Starting July 1
July 1, 2009
Contact: John White
(202) 401-1576
Starting July 1, a new repayment option is available that makes monthly payments more affordable for Americans with heavy federal student loan burdens. The new Income-Based Repayment (IBR) plan protects borrowers by linking payments to income and family size. A related new program offers additional benefits to those working in public service jobs.
"We know many graduates are concerned about their ability to repay student loans in the current economic environment," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. "This new plan addresses the issue head on by giving them the option of a monthly payment tied to their income."
The new IBR program is available to borrowers repaying new and existing federal student loans (Direct or Federal Family Education Loans). Those with high student loan debt relative to their income are likely to be eligible for the IBR program, resulting in reduced monthly payments and, in some cases, no monthly payments.
For example, someone with student loan debt of $25,000 at 6.8 percent interest would have a monthly payment of $288 under the standard 10-year repayment plan. If the borrower were single with no dependents and had an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $30,000, the monthly payment would drop to $172 per month, a reduction of $116 per month, or 40 percent under the IBR Program.
Payments are recalculated each year. The lower payments may result in longer repayment periods and increased interest charges. While individual lenders determine eligibility, borrowers can use a new IBR calculator to estimate monthly payments and eligibility. To apply for IBR, borrowers should contact their lender.
Borrowers who work in public service may be eligible to receive an additional benefit while using IBR: after 10 years, any remaining loan balance may be canceled. This Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program is available only in the Direct Loan Program to borrowers making payments while working full-time in schools, government or many nonprofit organizations. (Borrowers with Federal Family Education Loans can consolidate their loans into the Direct Loan Program in order to tap into this benefit.)
More detailed information about IBR and other repayment plans is available from the Department of Education at 1-800-4-FED-AID or www.studentaid.ed.gov. Click here for related video clips from Secretary Arne Duncan.

So I started Fenugreek (3 caps 3xday) a few weeks ago. I had gotten the bottle at a local Rite Aid. The bottle smelled like maple syrup and although I didn't smell like it I did burp it up (often, ugh). While at WalMart I saw a bottle and snagged it ($4 cheaper). Since starting this bottle I've noticed no strong smell from the bottle or from me. The expiration date is good - July 2013. I haven't noticed a change while pumping (I'm not a big producer) but I'm only two days into this bottle.
So my question is do you think it's safe to assume this bottle is not as potent because of the lack of smell (from the capsules themselves, not me). Or maybe wait and see about milk output?

Emmy awarded to Grand Valley alumnus
Posted on September 03, 2010
Add an Emmy to the list of proud achievements by Grand Valley State University alumnus Greg Colton.
Colton is a 1998 graduate from Grand Valley's School of Communications, in film and video production with an emphasis in animation. He received the 2010 Emmy Award for best "Individual Achievement in Animation."
The award is for Colton's storyboard work on the "Pie Song" sequence in the "Road to the Multiverse," episode of "Family Guy," that originally aired on September 27, 2009. He also directed the episode, which is included on the series' newest DVD, Vol. 8.
Colton started out as a lip sync artist on "South Park" and has worked on various television shows including the "Powerpuff Girls," "Mucha Lucha," "Invader Zim," "Dilbert," and "3-South." The first episode of the "Family Guy" animated television series he directed, "8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter," premiered in 2005 on Fox-TV. Colton was also included in the 2005 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming Less Than One Hour) as assistant director for the "Family Guy" episode "North by North Quahog."
Though he lives in Los Angeles, Colton has returned to Grand Valley several times to describe his work as a storyboard and layout artist to students in the same program he graduated from. Professor Deanna Morse shows Colton's demo reel in animation classes every year.
"Greg took advantage of each assignment in his classes, and worked his projects to make solid portfolio material," said Morse. "He had a quirky sense of humor, great energy for his work, and is a very talented cartoonist. As a student, he already had a cadre of characters that he had designed. I'm not surprised at his successes."
Colton said he doesn't want to become complacent, "so I'm going to keep pushing myself and my crew to make things look great on each and every episode."

The La Crosse Promise is a sort of revitalization effort that focuses on linking economic development and education.
New details on the program were recently announced on how it's making education more accessible for La Crosse families.
There are three main prongs to the Promise program. The first involves future centers, or places high school students can get prepared for the next step in their life after graduation. That phase is already in place at high schools in our area. The second prong is a scholarship that would fund a student's post-secondary education - if their family lives in La Crosse. The third prong involves the economic development Program directors are hoping will come to the city as a result of education.
Nearly 40 other cities across the country have similar Promise programs, but only La Crosse is tying in the concept of economic development. It's doing that through the place-based scholarship - money to pay for your child's post-secondary education if you build your home in the city of La Crosse.
The scholarship will fund post-secondary education within the state, based on the cost of tuition at UW-Madison.
To qualify, a family has to build a house worth $150,000 or more within the La Crosse school district - and they have to live there until their children graduate high school.
The idea is with the promise of that scholarship, families will invest in their neighborhood by building their life, and their home there - and the city will invest in the family with a promise to pay for college.
There are currently 40 lots available to build on, and the city has promised more will open up if there is demand.
Homes, the American dream - it's what the Promise program wants to build to help breathe new life into its neighborhoods. And it's using the promise of education to achieve it.

Enhancing the transparency of non-GAAP financial measures can help users better understand past performance, read our Point of view to find out more.
Companies often disclose non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional insight into their business. The comparability of non-GAAP financial measures varies from one industry to another, as well as from one company to another. In addition, a lack of transparency regarding their determination, along with inconsistency in how the measures are calculated may limit their efficacy. Further, the subjectivity inherent in how non-GAAP financial measures are calculated could make them susceptible to bias or misinterpretation without proper context and explanation.
When presenting non-GAAP financial measures, it is important to give equal or greater prominence to the most comparable GAAP measures, ensure that appropriate disclosures are provided, accurately label the non-GAAP measures and identify an adjustment as non-recurring only if that is the case.
Non-GAAP financial measures are most effective when they are accompanied by clear and transparent disclosure of what is included or excluded from the measure and the supporting rationale. A robust discussion of how management uses non-GAAP financial measures, if applicable, and the context in which they should be considered increases their usefulness.

Francis charms crowd on first Sunday as popeThe New York Times | March 18,2013AP PHOTO
People holding images of Pope Francis attend Mass at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sunday. Argentines former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was chosen as leader of the Catholic Church.VATICAN CITY In his first Sunday appearance from the papal apartment overlooking St. Peters Square, Pope Francis charmed a huge crowd by infusing the message of the Gospel with personal recollections and a smattering of humor.
He greeted the estimated 200,000 people who had crowded into the square for his first Angelus, a traditional prayer to the Virgin Mary, with a hearty Buon giorno, which was cheered. And he took leave of them with Buon pranzo Have a good lunch which was cheered even more.
His reflection was on mercy and Gods power to forgive. And he told the story of a woman he had met in Buenos Aires two decades ago who believed this to be true.
She told me: If the Lord hadnt forgiven all, then the world wouldnt be here, the pope recounted.
Let us not forget this word: God never tires of forgiving us, he said.
Ernest Martinez, a Jesuit priest and, coincidentally, a retired professor at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, said the pope has a great touch.
This is how someone talks to people to make them understand, Martinez said. Though Francis spoke for just a few minutes, he didnt need more, Martinez said. Thats his style.
Francis homespun, familiar style has already marked the nascent papacy with a down-to-earth imprint. In these early days, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio has eschewed the trappings of the position, and tested his bodyguards with impromptu forays from the strict Vatican protocol. On Sunday, after celebrating a Mass for a few hundred Vatican City residents at their parish church, the pope strolled outside the gated walls to greet and shake hands with surprised onlookers.
This is a pope of the pueblo, of all people, both young and old we liked him right away, said Simona Chiaretti, a nurse from Rome. He has already shown us that he is with us.
Standing nearby, Eric Trochet, a priest from Brittany, said the popes way of expressing himself was a kind of simplicity that is very wise and necessary because people today dont understand the symbols and traditions of the church. This pope, he said, knows that.
At the same time, the popes words during his first public addresses signaled a shift in tone toward social justice and what is seen as greater collegiality within the church.
He has used the word brotherhood, which had fallen out of use but is essential in a world that has increasingly moved toward individualism, said Paolo Ciani of the Community of SantEgidio, a lay association founded in Rome. His gestures, the way he has put himself forward, give the sense of wanting to built the church together, Ciani said.
Francis was elected pope on Wednesday, less than two weeks after Benedict XVI resigned, the first pope to do so in 600 years.
The Sunday greeting to the crowds was delivered in Italian, and the pope said he had chosen the name of St. Francis, the patron saint of Italy, to reinforce my spiritual ties to this land, where as you know I have my family roots. His family emigrated from a small town in Piedmont to Argentina a few years before Francis was born.
Banners expressing best wishes and welcome, as well as those identifying religious movements and different countries, swayed above the thousands of people in the square.
Among them, a flag flaunted the red and gold of the local soccer team Roma. We wanted to show the pope that Romans were also here, not just tourists, said Anita Pini, a homemaker and soccer fan of the home team, whose captain, Francesco Totti, had been the citys most famous Francis until now.
I just hope that he can help the poor, because the church is very rich, she said, emphasizing very. Maybe that can change.
Many expectations weigh on the first Latin American pope, called on to guide the worlds 1.2 billion Catholics in a moment of dwindling vocations and declining faith in some nations.
I have great hope that he will renew the faith of many, said Sister Maria del Rosario of the Sisters of Christian Charity, an order founded in Germany. She moved to Rome from Argentina six years ago, and was in the square waving Argentinas white-and-light-blue flag.
So I was close to Benedict XVI, she said, and now I am close to Francis.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. Full StoryTroubling as the details of the McLaren Report were, a news item out of Russia earlier this week... Full Story

Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, Miranda Kerr & More Stars At Paris Fashion Week (Photos)

The annual event draws dozens of celebrities and supermodels. Model Miranda Kerr turned heads in a pair of dresses with plunging necklines. On Sunday, she wore a tight, low-cut navy blue dress while shopping at the Stella McCartney store. She also participated in McCartney's spring-summer 2014 fashion show.
Kerr posted on Tuesday: "Grand Palais Paris! About to walk for Chanel" followed by "See you on the runway! #chanel #paris #fun."
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West left baby North at home for the Givenchy Womenswear show on Sunday night. The reality star's custom-made dress was reportedly made in 24 hours prior to the fashion show.

Staff and wire reports
Although many universities and colleges are still waiting for tuition payments for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who attended school last fall under the new GI Bill, representatives of local institutions say they're not having a problem.
The Veterans Affairs Department says the number of veterans with claims unprocessed is now fewer than 5,000 — down from tens of thousands — and the goal is to have them all processed by the end of the year. Veterans who haven't received their payments have been reported to be having problems with paying living expenses and enrolling for the spring semester.
Eastern New Mexico University President Steven Gamble said few veterans at the university were receiving their payments late in the semester.
"In terms of paperwork confusion," Gamble said, "we only had two recipients that were actually having trouble getting their money, but they were taken care of."
Gamble said the situation is no different from any other semester.
"The university has an extended payment plan where we understand the money is coming in. It's just getting here late," he said. "We don't hassle them; we just extend the period of time they have to pay us."
ENMU has 145 people receiving the GI Bill.
At Clovis Community College, Michelle Schmidt, dean of student services, said her staff has not received any complaints about slowness of receiving benefits.
James Smith, VA benefits specialist at the college, said money is available and military students have been accessing it.
However, veterans in other parts of the country are having a more difficult time.
Clay Hunt, a former Marine corporal who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, attends Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. He said he and his wife have racked up about $4,000 in credit card debt because his university won't release student loans he needs for living expenses until tuition is fully paid.
"I'm very disappointed about the way it was implemented," Hunt, 27, said. "I feel like the VA had ample time to figure out how they were going to disperse these payments and make sure this transition to the new GI Bill went smoothly, and they definitely failed to do that."
Tom Tarantino, legislative associate for New York-based veterans service organization Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, said he talked to one veteran who graduated but hasn't been allowed to get his diploma because the tuition hasn't been paid. Others weren't allowed to enroll for the spring semester, he said.
"The next semester is going to be a mess. Straight up," Tarantino said. "I don't know if it's going to be as bad as this semester was, but it is going to be ugly."
The VA has issued $3,000 emergency checks to more than 68,000 veterans, but for some the money's run out.
Keith M. Wilson, director of the VA's Office of Education Service, told a congressional panel on Dec. 3 that the agency is using "brute force" to get claims processed. The VA expects to have all claims received by Jan. 15 paid by Feb. 1.
Officials at Mesalands Community College were unavailable for comment.

I consider myself a philosopher and not a theologian or biblical scholar by any means. I do have a bachelor's degree in Religion–biblical studies so I do know how to exegete and perform proper hermeneutics. With that said, here's a philosopher's exegesis of Colossians 1.15-17.
Colossians 1.15-17
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heaves and on the earth,visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities–all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
ὅς ἐστιν εἰκὼν τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἀοράτου, πρωτότοκος πάσης κτίσεως, He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Let's look at εικων (eikon, a likeness, literally statue. A fig. representation—image, nominative singular feminine). This is where we get the word 'icon.' (The second Gr. text provided is Westcott/Hort with Diacritics 1853 and Codex Sinaiticus).

My son is 3 weeks old and for the first 2 1/2 weeks was nursing beautifully. However, within the past few days we have started having some problems. He constantly pops off during feedings and becomes fustrated and crys. I can get him back on but only for a few seconds. We give him a bottle a day of expressed milk - but that has been since he was 1 week, so I don't think its nipple confusion. Also, its not at every feeding, some feedings he stays latched on the whole time and doesn't cry at all.
I seem to be producing a lot of milk and my midwife thought that an oversupply might be the problem. He has choked while I've been feeding him and a few times, when he pulled off, the milk was still spraying out.
The problem seems to be getting worse instead of better. Does this sound like an oversupply problem or the dreaded nipple confusion due to the bottle?
Thanks for any advice:confused:

Yep, I ALWAYS offer alternatives for when the nur nurs are tired. "We can cuddle, rock, hold hands, read etc. etc." Basically if it is a tactic that has been publicized ANYWHERE, I have tried it. (But I still want YOUR suggestions; because it might be new and it might WORK, so don't be afraid to put in your 2 cents.)
I also forgot to say that on our "usual" days, she does to bed in her own bed (after nursing to sleep) around 8 and stays in her bed until around 2 or 3. Then she comes in our room, nurses, and usually sleeps until morning, when she will nurse again. It's just been the last few nights that she seems to be glued to my arm pit and nursing NON STOP. And, she has come to our bed between 11 and 12. Oy
IMHO, I think she knows that you will always give in and therefore is only doing what works with you. It sounds like there are several things at play. If she just ramped up on the nursing, there's something developmentally going on that she needs the extra comfort for (I don't have a 3yo so I can't say what), and that you need the extra space. Perhaps sticking to your guns when offering the alternative and dealing with the unpleasant response from her may send the message that mommy needs to regroup as well. You can reassure her that the 'nur nurs' aren't going away for good (though they will eventually) but that they need to recharge and that you still love her and want to comfort her. Just shooting in the dark here at an attempt to help.
If you do nothing, I can certainly guarantee you that things will change on their own so you don't HAVE to do anything unless you want to.

Thanks for the good laugh! I can't wait for LLLI to publish the books you named. They sound like great titles.
You get a "hang in there" from me, too. It sounds like you're really working hard to meet your little one's needs. Sometimes it does seem as if certain stages go on forever, but they do not. I realize that's hard to fathom when you hear about the toddler who lost interest in breastfeeding or the one who is sleeping through the night while your child still needs you day and night.
My best as you continue along this path!
Hi Nodaker,
it sounds like you're absolutely exhausted from disrupted nights. You've said your darling doesn't normally nurse as much, so maybe it is just a brief phase for whatever reason only your daughter knows .
Three year olds have amazing communication skills (and understanding) What does she say when you tell her your nur nurs are tired and need a rest?
I was in the same boat a couple of years ago, I was SO tired from very frequent night nursing, I once fell asleep at a bus stop (hands still on the buggy)! I felt resentful and didn't enjoy nursing anymore, so I decided to give night weaning a try. We had a chat about it the morning before to give them plenty of time to get used to the idea. I then set myself an acceptable rest time (I choose 10pm-7am) and when they woke up reminded them that it wasn't 7am yet and that they could cuddle instead. One of them accepted it fairly quickly, but my lovely spirited little man obviously wasn't ready and got VERY upset, so I decided to try him again a bit later and after another month (with a bit of daddy help) he DID accept it. Children change so quickly at this age.
Stopping the night feeds meant I no longer felt 'touched out' and I began to enjoy nursing again and it enabled me to carry on nursing for a long time!
this too shall pass, as my best friend always says
all my best wishes

November 20, 2013 —
Sheriff's Deputies are battling the latest crime wave to besiege Sullivan County: larcenies from automobiles. In the last 3 months deputies have investigated 53 incidents from Livingston Manor to Rock Hill, from Smallwood to Glen Spey. All the vehicles involved had one thing in common: they were unlocked.
"The bad guys know if you enter a house and commit a burglary, you are looking at felony charges. If you take property from a car, you are only looking at a misdemeanor larceny charge unless the property is worth over $1,000," said Undersheriff Eric Chaboty.
Thieves have stolen laptops, GPS, cash and other valuables. They seem to strike during the hours of darkness from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Thieves have also hit two dealerships in Bridgeville, where they jacked up cars and stole wheels. "With our diminished manpower, it is making it difficult to investigate all these incidents", said Chaboty. "I know the state police have had a large amount reported to them as well."
Citizens are being asked to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity in their neighborhood. "The message is clear. Lock your car doors, even in your own driveway," said Chaboty. "It is an unfortunate sign of the times." Anyone with information regarding these crimes are urged to call the Sheriff's 24 hour confidential TIPS line at 845-807-0158.
