Sounds Of Progress
Once again, the sound of progress can be heard in the halls of the Lutheran Home and Rehabilitation Center as construction crews demo old rooms that were built in the 1970s to make way for a new and modern rehabilitation unit.
"We're excited to create a new space for our sub-acute rehab program, and we appreciate everyone's patience during this phase of construction," said Tom Holt, president and CEO. "We've learned a lot in the seven years since we began short-term rehab. We're taking the great ideas we've received from staff and residents and adding them to what works well today."
The unit will be opened in early spring. The new location will be more convenient for residents going back and forth to therapy. The unit will have all single rooms with modern furnishings and a private shower and bath. A new dining area will be designed specifically for the short-term rehab resident.
"I've had a wonderful experience here," said Tina Lind-Kellom, a current rehab resident recovering from a bilateral knee replacement. "The admission process was seamless from the moment I was greeted by the nurse and physical therapist at the front door. The physical therapy staff makes me feel like I am the only person in their care, and I've made amazing progress. Staff is just as warm and friendly to my family. Having a brand new space for future residents will add to an already positive experience. I've also enjoyed filling my free time with the activities they provide, and I especially like the church service on Sundays."
The Lutheran Home and Rehabilitation Center has downsized from a 254-bed facility to a 148-bed facility.
"Our vision is to be the go-to resource for senior services by providing a wide range of services that will help people remain independent," Holt said.
In the last few years, Lutheran expanded assisted living, added a medical model day care program and the new 14-unit Smartment Building.
"We're serving more people but in ways that enhance their quality of life," Holt said. "There will always be a need for the nursing home, but we believe nursing home stays will be shorter as seniors have other options available to them."
The renovation is funded in part by HEAL NY, which awarded more than $23 million to Lutheran. HEAL NY is the Health Care Efficiency and Affordability Law of New York state. The intent of the funds is to right-size the health care delivery system; eliminate duplication of health care services; promote alternative care at appropriate levels and cost; and reduce the rising costs of health care spending.

I could not believe that we humans could do such a thing and feel no remorse, no guilt, no sympathy.... we are smarter than they are, stronger then them... we study them, we know there every move, we have the advantage... no matter the size of the animal, we have the tools and mind to bring them down, but why would you? what have they done?.... NOTHING! we are selfish, we kill... no, we MURDER for material things. Its time for those companies, business', labs, etc. to stop.

Call to Serve
We are very happy to announce that Yeshiva University is a Call to Serve Member School. The addition of this program is a direct result of your feedback regarding wanting more information about internship and career opportunities that truly make a difference.
Call to Serve is a joint effort of the Partnership for Public Service and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management with the goal of educating college students about the importance of a strong civil service and providing you with key information about federal jobs.
Being a Call to Serve Member School means that YU is linked to a community of 670 other schools nationwide who have also made a commitment to bringing their students targeted programming about public service and Federal careers. Future programs you can expect to see include Federal agents speaking and holding information sessions on campus, panels of speakers working in the public service sector, and targeted seminars on the application process, among others.
The Federal government is expanding its hiring with several hundred jobs becoming available in the next year alone. Working in the public service sector is rewarding, has great benefits and can bring a wonderful sense of job security in an unsure time.
Entry-level starting salaries are around $40,000, which is on par with many positions in the business sector and higher than many fields. This salary usually doubles within 3-5 years (depending on performance). In addition, student loan repayment is available up to $10,000 per year for up to 6 years.
Federal jobs offer VERY flexible work schedules. Many government agencies run fairly independently and don't have the red tape which people anticipate. This is especially true when it comes to flexible work arrangements, such as time off and working from home.
The vast majority of jobs are NOT in the DC metro area, but spread across the US with 50,000 jobs abroad.
The government is looking for majors/experience of all types. Just as an example, recent job postings asked for an economist, anthropologist and accountant!
There are 1.9 million Federal employees. As of 2010 half of them are eligible to retire. Translation: many, many job opportunities are now (and will continue to become) available!
The best way to enter the process for a federal opportunity is through the Pathways internship program, which provides talented individuals who are in school or who have recently received a degree with greater access to federal jobs and internships, as well as meaningful training, mentoring and career development opportunities.
- Internship Program
The internship program offers current students with paid opportunities to work in federal agencies and explore different career paths. Upon successful completion of an internship, including 640 hours of work, participants will be eligible for conversion to full-time federal employment. Agencies may waive up to 320 hours of the work experience requirement for outstanding performers.
- Recent Graduates Program
This is a dynamic, one-year developmental program designed for individuals who have received undergraduate or graduate degrees from qualifying educational institutions or programs. Candidates must apply to the Recent Graduates Program within two years of degree or certificate completion, with the exception of veterans, who have up to six years to apply due to military service obligations. Participants in the Recent Graduates Program will receive a minimum of 40 hours of training and professional development, complete an individual development plan and be assigned a mentor. Additionally, upon successful completion of the program, they will be eligible for conversion to full-time federal employment.
For more information on these programs, visit the Office of Personnel Management.
Students graduating with a Bachelor's degree will apply for "GS-5" or "GS-7 jobs." Most government jobs are assigned grade levels according to the experience of the applicant. GS-5 means you have a bachelor's degree and no prior experience. GS-7 has the same requirements, but asks that you also have high academic achievement or demonstrated leadership.
You can search for jobs by region, agency, "series" (which is really job function and is closely related to academic major) or keyword.
The same networking, informational interview, and follow-up rules apply as to the private sector job search. See the job search section of our website for more information.
**Tip: if the opening and closing dates for a job posting are 7-11 days apart it generally means that the posting was created with a candidate already in mind. DO NOT bother applying.
Applicants do not submit a typical resume, but rather build one through the system on usajobs.gov.
Tips for building the resume:
The same basic components of a resume are required: personal info, education, experience, activities
You can list unpaid work or activities in the experience section
Applicants have control over the order in which experience is input, so it might make sense to place an older yet more relevant experience toward the top.
Be as specific as possible using the same key words that are used in the job posting as this will help get your resume through the computer-based selection process.
Click here for a sample resume.
All jobs will ask for either a questionnaire or a KSA (which stands for Knowledge, Skills and Abilities) in lieu of a cover letter, and the job posting will specify which is needed. The questionnaire is very straightforward, and applicants MUST use keywords from the posting to describe their experiences. Don't be modest on the questionnaire! As a candidate, you should really sell yourself and your experience. Use concrete examples and be sure to quantify. Usually, the questionnaire is filled out through a different website and the link will be provided for you. Specific instructions for filling it out can be found in the job posting on usajobs.gov.
KSA= Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (these are supposed to be phased out in the coming year)
KSAS are short essay questions required for many of the applications with the federal government. Applicants will be given a list of KSAs and Core Competencies for the position. For example: excellent written and oral communication skills, leadership, and proficiency in another language. For each of these, the applicant will write a paragraph describing their competency in these skill areas. For each skill candidates should try to come up with more than one example of a time they have used/demonstrated that skill. They should devote 1-2 paragraphs per skill.
The recommended technique for writing KSAs is CCAR:
Context: describe a specific problem you had to address
Challenges: describe the factors that contributed to a particular challenge such as budget cuts, new legislation, institutional reform, new goals from upper management, etc.
Action: describe the steps you took to solve the problem.
Result: outcomes of your actions; where possible, use numbers to highlight your accomplishment. Think time and money!
Each KSA should be no longer than one page in total. Be concise and always use keywords from the job announcement. If you are having a hard time writing the KSA, the Career Center has sample packets to help you get started.
The process of applying for positions can take some time, so be sure to plan well in advance. Many federal positions can take months from the initial application to the time an offer is presented. Visit the Career Center for more information and to get started on your application.
You can also review samples and learn more information about KSAs.
The main job search and application website for Federal jobs. All open postings should be here, although some will also be on specific agency sites as well.
The Partnership for Public Service's student website with info about agencies and major specific guides.
The government's official web page with an A-Z agency index.
The most comprehensive rating of employee satisfaction in the Fed government. Can search by demographics here to see where women, minorities, etc. rate their workplace the highest.
Identifies nearly 273,000 mission-critical employment opportunities that will be available in the federal government from October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2012.

What you need to know and do before you test:
The Mathematics Competency Exam (MCE) is a computerized, timed 75-minute test. You may choose one of four multiple choice tests to demonstrate your skills in pre-algebra, elementary algebra, intermediate algebra or pre-calculus. You may take just one test per session, but after you receive your test score, which includes a diagnostic report, you may take another test on another day if you choose. Guidelines to help you decide which test to take are available in Testing Services in the Student Services Building 3300, Room 3334, on the Oceanside Campus or at the Testing Office, Building 100, Room 101, at the San Elijo Campus in Cardiff.
Adaptive / ESL testing for the MCE is available for students with a disability needing an accommodation. Students should obtain a referral from the Disabled Student Program and Services Office at 760.795.6658. Non-Native English speakers (ESL) should contact the Testing Office at 760.795.6685 for a referral which allows extended time to complete the test.
The English Assessment (EA) is administered by computer in the Testing Computer Lab in Building 3300, Room 3334, on the Oceanside Campus and in the Testing Office, Building 100, Room 101, at the San Elijo Campus. The EA measures reading comprehension and knowledge of correct sentence structure and should take about 60-90 minutes to complete. If you are a non-native English speaker or have a disability needing an accommodation, please plan to test in the morning to maximize the time available to you. A referral is not required as there is no time limit for the test.
Review before you test (optional). There is no review available for the English test; math review packets are available for sale in the college bookstore. The Algebra Readiness, Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra and Pre-Calculus brush-up tests are also available on the Testing Department website.
Retesting. If you feel you didn't do your best on the exams due to illness, lack of sleep or a disturbance during the test, you may take the test a second time at no charge. Continued retesting is not recommended and is not likely to change your score.
Release of scores. Pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, test scores will be released to the examinee only. Approved photo identification will be required.

Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston said recently in his blog, reprinted in The Pilot, the Boston archdiocesan paper, that he never thought he'd visit Las Vegas — but there he was because Las Vegas was chosen to host this year's 18th annual American Cardinals Dinner, a fundraiser for The Catholic University of America. In the true spirit of blogging, the cardinal shared his experiences and wrote that next year's dinner is in Boston, adding, "We have no strip or casinos in Boston, but I guess we will put our guests on the Duck boats … lol." (That's "laughing out loud" for you non-bloggers.)

How can we get Crohn's disease on a postage stamp?
I was in the post office this Friday and I noticed that there was a stamp for breast cancer that cost a little bit more than the normal postage stamp, but the extra funds would go towards breast cancer research. And I thought, "Why is there no stamp for Crohn's disease?" I know that our disease is not as widely known as cancer, but there must be a way that we can start changing that. How can we get a stamp? Is it even possible to get a stamp for Crohn's disease similar to the stamp for breast cancer? I tried looking around to see how to even begin the process but didn't find anything. I am sure that we will have to spread the word and get Crohn's disease to be a household name, or at least more widely known before anyone makes a dedicated postage stamp about it.
I took part in the Take Steps for Crohn's and Colitis here in Houston and it wasn't that great of a turnout, at least in my opinion. When there is a walk for other diseases such as cancer or MS, there are lots and lots of people who participate. Maybe there were more people who showed up to the Take Steps event in other parts of the country where it was not as hot as it was here in Houston; I don't really know how well the event did as a whole.
When I tell people that I have Crohn's disease, more often than not they have never heard of it. Yet, I read this article that said autoimmune diseases (such as Crohn's disease) are becoming more and more common, especially among women. How can we make people more aware of Crohn's disease so that they will donate more money to find a cure? What can WE do? Let's pool our ideas and then start making some plans to get the word out in the upcoming year.
I plan to become more involved next year in the Take Steps for Crohn's and Colitis event and want to be on the planning committee. I want to write more businesses and ask for more donations. I want to hang more signs and be more involved so that one day we can also have a stamp.
Let's Get Loud!

The High Calling recently posted a helpful video about creativity in the workplace, drawing insights from innovation consultant Barry Saunders.
Saunders notes that, despite our tendency to think of creativity only in terms of artistic expression, creativity is simply about "building ideas." Pointing to Genesis, he observes that God gave us a clear directive to "go create things," offering us a "foundational understanding of what we were meant to do and how we were meant to spend our days."
But getting creative in the workplace can be tough, as Saunders duly notes. Each of us will face unique struggles in bringing our whole selves to the work we do. When it comes to creativity, it means tapping our imaginations, but more fundamentally, it involves aligning those imaginations to the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Building ideas for our own purposes is one thing, but this next step of obedience and alignment will prove challenging even for the most forward-thinking and out-of-the-box entrepreneurs.
Through this understanding, creativity is ultimately about innovating our way toward better stewardship and sacrifice, submitting our imaginations to the divine and unleashing them toward the service of others. How can we innovate better ways of managing, molding, and growing what God has given us? "All is on loan," as Lester DeKoster says, so how do we multiply the talents? (more…)

About the Author: Camille Benton serves as a Curator for ART in EMBASSIES.
This week Mexico celebrated 200 years of independence. In recognition of the occasion and in honor of the vibrant exchange of cultures between our two countries, we note Connecting Lines, the ART in EMBASSIES exhibition currently installed in the U.S. Ambassador's residence in Mexico City. Central among the works in the exhibition are 10 granite sculptures by renowned artist, Jesús Moroles. Ranging from monumental to small-scale, each work offers a tactile experience and invites the participation of the viewer; some can even be played as musical instruments. In Spiral Arc, the slender half-moon form defies its weight and density while being enlivened by a textured surface that radiates energy. Moroles states, "My work is a discussion of how man exists in nature and touches nature and uses nature. Each of my pieces has about fifty percent of its surfaces untouched and raw -- those are parts of the stone that were torn. The rest of the work is smoothed and polished. The effect, which I want people to not only look at but touch, is a harmonious coexistence of the two."
Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, Jesús Moroles earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1978 at North Texas State University, Denton. He apprenticed under Luis Jimenez in El Paso, Texas, 1978-79, and lived and worked in Pietrasanta, Italy, 1979-80. Among many honors, he received a 2008 National Medal of Arts Award, The White House, Washington, DC. His work is in the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas; the Mint Museum, Charlotte, North Carolina; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Osaka, Japan; and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC. Moroles lives and works in Rockport, Texas.

I've been searching out rare records that I've never been able to find in the shops, and I recently came across Yoko's Approximately Infinite Universe. Wow, what a great album!
The songs have a glammy alternative rock sound to it, like early Roxy Music. The songs are actually quite good, some are (dare I say) GREAT! On 'Waiting For Sunrise' she sounds like Siouxsie Sioux's 1980 hit 'Christine' - like new wave music 5-10 years before its time. The quieter piano-based songs are also quite contemplative and nice. When she screams, it's actually set in with the music as a riff and not overtaking the song like her earlier stuff. I've also been listening to 'Yoko Ono - Plastic Ono Band' and that's an even wilder trip! I tell ya what.. I've never heard John and Ringo rock harder as a rhythm section!
I've never been one to 'hate' Yoko, and Kiss Kiss Kiss was always hands down the best song on Double Fantasy outstripping John's predictable-but-good songs by quite a margin.. but I now have a newfound appreciation of Yoko. She rocks!

Bridge article was misleading
To the editor:
Regarding the article "What If the Bridge Went Out," this article says a lot about very little. The second headline is misleading. There is nothing about plans for a long-term outage of the bridge. The article is all about immediate transport of patients to a local hospital. We who live north of the bridge would like to know more. In case of a long-term outage how would supplies like food, petroleum products, medications, get here? What would happen to the local work force when people couldn't get to their jobs on either side of the bridge? If the disaster affected more than just the bridge, would there be repair vehicles and personnel available on the north side? There are so many scenarios to consider. Are there plans in place? What are those plans?
This article was the weekend headline and had over five columns of space. What it didn't have was pertinent information as described in the headline.

Hale, Sarah Josepha
Sarah Josepha Hale 1788–1879
(Born Sarah Josepha Buell) American journalist, biographer, novelist, short story writer, and poet.
Author of one of the most famous children's poems ever written ("Mary Had a Little Lamb"), Hale fell into obscurity after her death and for most of the twentieth century. Her authorship of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was both challenged and forgotten, and her other work was mostly ignored until feminist scholars rediscovered her in the 1990s. Recent critics have viewed Hale as a writer and editor who had a great deal of influence in the nineteenth century, and her opinions on the role of women, the slavery question, and morality have undergone serious study.
Biographical Information
Hale was born on a farm in Newport, New Hampshire, the daughter of Gordon and Martha Buell. She was educated at home, at first by her mother and later by her brother Horatio, who tutored her in the courses he was studying at Dartmouth College. Between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four she taught school in Newport, giving up that profession when she married David Hale, a lawyer, in 1813. Her husband continued her education, studying history, French, and botany with her, and also encouraging her to write. She published a few poems and stories during this time but only turned to writing seriously after her husband died suddenly in 1822, leaving her with five children to support. In the next year, she published poems and stories in a variety of magazines and also completed her first book, The Genius of Oblivion and Other Original Poems (1823). After the publication of her novel Northwood (1827), she was offered the editorship of the new Ladies' Magazine, beginning a fifty-year career as an editor. In 1837 the Ladies' Magazine merged with Louis Godey's Lady's Book, and Hale became editor of the new publication, a post she held until 1877. In her role as editor, Hale contributed editorials, columns, and book reviews to the two publications. She also continued to write fiction and poetry, and published cookbooks, etiquette manuals, and her monumental Woman's Record (1853), a collection of biographies of notable women from the time of Eve until the mid-nineteenth century. Her most popular work was "Mary Had a Little Lamb," originally called "Mary's Lamb" (1830); it was frequently reprinted during her lifetime, though
often without crediting her as the author. Two years before her death, her authorship of the poem was questioned by Mary Sawyer Tyler, who claimed to be the original Mary and who said a classmate of hers had written the verses. In the 1920s, Tyler's claim won the support of Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, but there has never been any evidence for it, and modern scholars agree that the poem was indeed written by Hale.
Major Works
Hale wrote a large number of works in a wide variety of genres, including novels, short stories, poems, plays, biographies, cookbooks, etiquette manuals, and journalistic contributions to the two magazines that she edited. Despite exploring these different genres, Hale's basic aim remained the same throughout her writings: to give advice and moral guidance. Even "Mary Had a Little Lamb" ends with a moral about being loving and kind to animals, and her novels and short stories tend to be didactic vehicles for her views on social issues and life in general. For instance, her novel Northwood promotes the New England virtues of hard work and domesticity as opposed to the supposed idleness and undisciplined leisure of the American South. Her novel Liberia (1853) advocates the emigration of slaves to Africa as a solution to the slavery problem. Her short story "The Catholic Convert," originally published as "The Unknown" (1830) asserts the shortcomings of celibacy and convent life, as opposed to marriage. In providing this sort of advice, Hale was acting in accordance with her philosophy as presented in Woman's Record: that it is the role of women to provide moral and spiritual leadership. Hale believed that although men were superior to women physically, women were superior morally, and it was women's duty to provide guidance to men and to refine men's "brute" natures. She maintained that it was also specifically women's duty to Christianize the world, for she saw Christ and the Christian virtues of meekness, mercy, purity, and charity as being essentially feminine. Hale was a believer in the doctrine of separate spheres for men and women; men were to engage in industry, business, and politics, while women were to be teachers, writers, and mothers.
Critical Reception
In her own day, Hale was known primarily as an editor who campaigned for women's rights—especially a woman's right to be educated—and for other causes, such as the institution of a national Thanksgiving Day holiday. After her death, she fell into obscurity, but in recent years has been the subject of several studies, mostly by feminists seeking to establish her relation to feminism. Even in her own day, though, this relationship was seen as complicated; Hale campaigned for certain women's rights but opposed the vote for women and the notion that women should seek to do "men's work." As a result, a women's rights society stated after her death that Hale "mingled … the spirit of progress with true conservatism." Some later critics have portrayed Hale as militantly feminist and antislavery, while others have seen her as anti-feminist and sympathetic to slavery (because she preferred emigration to abolition as a solution to slavery). Although one modern commentator has described her as a liberal in conservative clothing, it is clear that Hale does not easily fit into conventional categories.

[In the following excerpt, Finley surveys Hale's writings, discussing her style, her attitudes, and her subject matter.]
Of the many poems written by Sarah Hale only a few are remembered. These few, however, have become part and parcel of American ballad tradition, so much so that scarcely any one ever asks the name of the author. What modern stops to wonder who wrote "If Ever I See," "Our Father in Heaven," "It Snows," "Mary Had a Little Lamb"?—even though for the past few years the authorship of the last named verses has been figuring...

[In the following excerpt, Finley discusses the controversy surrounding Hale's authorship of the poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb."]
"Mary Had a Little Lamb," the most famous children's poem in the English language, was first printed in 1830. It was signed by Sarah Hale. Now Mrs. Hale's authorship of the first half of the poem has been challenged by Mr. Henry Ford, who has given credence to an old claim first made public in the late eighteen-seventies by a Mrs. Mary Sawyer Tyler. Mrs. Tyler asserted that she was the "Mary" of the poem,...

The Yankee Ethos in Limbo
The very fact of the novel [Northwood] is a puzzle. What had made a busy and hard-pressed widow living in a small provincial town sit down in the winter of 1826 and fill page after page with the story of Sidney Romilly? Why should she have concerned herself, as she did, with the South?...

We know Sarah J. Hale as the editor, for almost half a century (1837-77), of Godey's Lady's Book. In that position she exercised considerable power (or, to use a word she would have preferred, influence) over emergent middle-class culture in the United States.1 Dedicated above all to the cause of women's education, Hale approached social issues with strongly expressed convictions that authorize the...

Sarah Josepha Hale, author of poems, stories, sketches, a play, novels, and several home reference books, is remembered chiefly for her lengthy tenure (1837-77) as editor of Godey's Lady's Book, the most widely read women's magazine of its day.

No doubt in part because of her authorship of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," Sarah Josepha Hale—editor first of the Ladies' Magazine and then for forty-one years of Godey's Lady's Book—is often described in the context of … [what Allison Bulsterbaum has called] "mawkish, moralistic poetry"...

To many white Americans before the Civil War, the idea of "returning" free blacks and manumitted slaves to Africa sounded like the perfect solution to the United States' increasingly rancorous and violent racial problems.

Interpretations of Hale's life and career have varied widely, depending largely upon the period and upon the interpreter's attitude toward powerful women.

In "The Romance of Travelling," one of the sketches collected in Sarah Josepha Hale's 1835 Traits of American Life, Hale focuses on Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire, as a typical American landscape, which "gives to the heart a sensation like that of suddenly meeting the smiling face of a friend" (195).

Comments: Fished this blade for the first time yesterday. I always dug the old school pro line blades. This one is pretty much the same. Blade held up well till my lame backseater, who is always hung up, got hung up again and lost it. He is currently ordering me at least one new one and going to start enjoying fishing from the shore.

G.Skill, a popular supplier of advanced memory modules, on Wednesday revealed the world's first 24GB DDR3 memory kit that is officially capable of working at 2.0GHz clock-speed. The new memory kit combines extreme clock-speed with extreme density, which will make it a demanded products among enthusiasts seeking for high-performance in both gaming and professional applications.
The new 24GB DDR3 kit from G.Skill consists of six 4GB memory modules capable of working at 2000MHz with CL8 latency settings and 1.65V voltage. In order to ensure high stability of its PC3-16000 set, the manufacturer recommends using active cooling and installs rather advanced heat-spreaders onto the modules themselves.
The 24GB kit is designed for extreme gamers with demand for high clock-speed and professional users who expect higher memory capacity can improve their PC performance. Typically gaming applications gain more from memory bandwidth provided that there is enough memory in the system, whereas demanding professional applications take more advantage of memory capacity.
Although G.Skill promises cutting edge performance and compatibility across a range of popular motherboards designed for gaming or for high-end workstations, it should be noted that neither quad-core nor six-core Intel Core i7 chips support memory speeds higher than 1066MHz officially. While there are 2GB modules capable of working at 2GHz in triple-channel mode, 4GB mean much higher density and therefore it is harder to make them work stably at blazing speeds.
Pricing of G.Skill's 24GB 2.0GHz memory kit is unknown, but it can be expected with high degree of probability that it will cost over $1000.

Major Jewish philanthropist creates investigative journalism nonprofit

Now there's a headline with a lot of words I like. ProPublica could be a godsend that fills the investigative-journalism gap left by massive budget cuts. Or it could be a way for creator and chairman Herbert Sandler to shape the news. Sandler, who last year he donated $500 million to various causes, mostly non-Jewish, gets a mention in a story I have in tomorrow's Jewish Journal about the new world of Jewish philanthropy.

In Paris on July 6, 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton attended the third meeting of the Friends of the Syrian People. At that meeting, Secretary Clinton consulted with her colleagues on steps to increase pressure on the Assad regime and to support UN-Arab League Special Envoy Kofi Annan's efforts to end the violence and facilitate a political transition to a post-Assad Syria. In a press availability following the meeting, Secretary Clinton said:
"Today the international community sent a clear and unified message: The violence in Syria must stop, a democratic transition must start, and Assad must go. Last week in Geneva, all five permanent members of the UN Security Council and other key players agreed to Kofi Annan's plan that Assad transfer full executive authority to a transitional governing body that is broadly inclusive and chosen by mutual consent, which means the opposition has a veto on its membership. Here in Paris, more than one hundred nations and organizations endorsed that plan and dispelled any doubt about Assad's role in a transition. He has none."
While in France, Secretary Clinton consulted with French leaders regarding next steps on Syria as well as on a number of other key areas of global concern. As part of her ongoing consultations with senior Palestinian and Israeli leaders, the Secretary also met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss both parties' efforts to pursue a dialogue and build on President Abbas' exchange of letters with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Secretary Clinton is on travel to France, Afghanistan, Japan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Egypt, and Israel. You can follow her trip on www.state.gov.

(from the daily state dept briefing -June 9th)
MR. VENTRELL: All right. Go ahead, Said. One more on Syria.
QUESTION: Yesterday, Secretary – I'm sorry – Senator McCain called your performance on Syria thus far as disgraceful and shameful. Do you have any response to that?
MR. VENTRELL: We're doing everything we can to stop this violence.
While I strongly disagree with Sen. McCain having closly observed everything the US had done since this crisis developed, I also strongly disagree with the spokesperson's assesment that folks everything they can to stop the violence...within the US dept of State folks are for sure...no question a massive diplomatic effort has been made thus far to end the violence.
But "everything" in this context used in reply is actually a really large basket of tools and tricks, methodology and applied use of national power on a multi-agency basis.
Including the use of force.
So no, it cannot be said that we've exausted options and there's nothing more the US can do to stop Assad from killing his people than what is being done at this particicular moment, as the spokesman's statement implies.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
With all apologies to the readers, I must remind myself never to try to edit my own comment before I've finished my morning coffee, as I seemed to have seroiusly mangled the English language once again in my previous post..(sigh).
So I beg pardons and try to re-phrase the thought a little better.
First off, I strongly disagree with the Senator on the subject of arming the Syrian opposition , not because of some political reason or because I don't believe the Syrian people have the right to defend themselves or deserve our help in every strategicly sound manner possible, but that is not sound thinking and the US government's position of not providing "lethal aid", but just about everything else other than that, is a proper and ethical position for at least two reasons, but my biggest concern is having a whole lot of weapons in the hands of a whole bunch of people using them against each other in a country that has the largest stockpile of chemical weapons in the region...period.
And this is the reason that at some point the Syrian people will not have a choice in the matter, that the international community, or those willing, must physicly intervene in order to prevent the release or transfer of or use of those WMD's by anyone.
So I think the Senator is wrong in this particular case, but for the right reasons as under different threat assesment being made, we might have a different policy.
But one thing the Senator might want to reflect upon since the Russians arm Assad; That if we, the USA, arm the opposition,...it looks for all intents and purposes like Russia and the US are waging a proxi-war against each other.
And I know that's not a good place to go...bein' that both our nations have "been there, done that".
And round and round the merry-go-round we go?
I flat don't think so.
Now it's about time Assad got bagged, gagged, tossed in a rubber room, the door locked, the key broken off in the lock, weld the door shut,... and then and only then can the world move on from this towards peace and leave him there to rot; kicking him a plate of food through a slot in the door once a day, and putting him on live web-cam globally as a vivid reminder to all wanabe tyrants..."This could be you, next." and make a proper example of the man.
As it looks more and more everyday that we're going to have to do this the hard way, as nations seeking long term peace, stability, and progress on the road to freedom from fear, want, poverty, and famine. And I include Russia and China in that because if it ain't in their interests to persue this course, then they dishonor the assistance that the US gave to them when their nations were subject to occupation and tyrany and we should ask them to reflect on the fact that they don't want to find themselves on the wrong side of not just "history" , but on the wrong side of karma..one's national karma in this case.
Not to get metaphisical on folks, but what goes around, comes around.
It just is the way things are in the universe, and this applies to international relations just as surely as it does to every individual on this planet.
Cannot see Annan having any joy from Damascus, in search of a peaceful transition...
Assad's singing the tired old song of dictators in their last days..."Hell no, I won't go!" like a true die-hard draft-dodger of reality.
Hard at work making up the minds of all concerned, as to what becomes appropriate "next steps".
I can't see as how it serves the best interests of the public understanding to tell the press that "everything" is being done, and I don't think that needs further clarification here.
Best to all concerned,
Eric in New Mexico writes:
News item;
Headline should have read, "Welcome to your worst nightmare.""http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/13/syria-believed-to-be-moving-som..."
In case folks thought I was dreaming...
"Pentagon spokesman George Little said Friday that any use of chemical weapons by Syria would be a red line for the international community. Syrian troops were in control of the chemical weapons stockpiles, Little said.
The State Department spokeswoman said Syria's government needs to ensure protection of its weapons stash.
"We have repeatedly made it clear that the Syrian government has a responsibility to safeguard its stockpiles of chemical weapons, and that the international community will hold accountable any Syrian officials who fail to meet that obligation," said Victoria Nuland, the State Department spokeswoman."
(end excerpt)
I gotta ask at this point, "Are you folks absolutely nuts?"
No disrespect intended...but Forest Gump was right.
Here's why;
a) Don't tell me you folks are willing to allow Assad to use these weapons before you decide to do something kinetic about this. You wanna hold folks accountable after the fact? Instead of pre-empting genocidal intent?
B) Reminding Assad of his international obligations at this point is pointless, as he so obviously doesn't give a damn about complying with anything the international community tells him is required of a responsible leader.
c) You don't have any time left to seek a diplomatic solution.
d) The idea that one could "monitor" these weapons, knowing they were in the hands of those committing atrocities and thinking you could trust the Assad regime to abide by its international obligations to not use them in its final desperate hours and days in power is at this point proven to be virtually "criminally insane"; and if used, you can blame yourselves for allowing WMD's to be used on this President's watch! Never mind holding Assad accountable.
"Diplomacy without teeth is a toothless beggar." I've said this before and you'all need reminding again apparently, as Annan is finding out why this premis is just a "given".
One could hope the Russians told Assad to move the stockpiles to their naval base for pickup to remove them from Syrian territory, which would be slim hope indeed.
Hayden said it is hard to believe al-Assad's government would use the weapons against its own people.
"Right now they are on the outer edges of being an international outlaw, beyond the edges. And the use of chemical weapons would seem to me to make any opposition to a more active intervention in Syria impossible, even for the Russians, even for the Chinese," Hayden said. "I'm far more concerned about loss of control of the weapons and what happens when the chaos that seems to be affecting larger society might touch upon some of these weapon stockpiles."
Lest folks have a "failure of imagination" and I be remis in allowing them to take any comfort in illusions; I would suggest to one and all that you have ample proof by Assad's actions that he is perfectly capable of using these WMD's on his own people, or other states in the region. In fact you have no rational basis to "find it hard to believe" he would use them.
On top of everything else, the DOD and the entire US gov. cannot bring themselves to tell the American public exactly what you know about this situation, including sat photos and a proper risk assesment in order to prep the American people and the world's populations for what may be expected to come in order to deal with this threat effectively, as well as the concequences of failure by the international community to do so.
Frankly, Assad has already crossed so many "red-lines" that you'all sound pretty silly talking about them as "absolutes".
As all the "could-haves", "should-haves", and "might-have-beens" will serve as shameful legacy to international diplomacy if you continue to delude yourselves and fail to see the writing on the wall.
I've said long ago many times that the war we've waged against terror and their sponsors is essentially one of "the sane vs. the insane" and as I watch the sane fighting amongst themselves as to the merits of "regime replacement therapy" in Syria, I'm kind of wondering right about now if there's anyone sane left to be able to see the world through this bloody mess?
As harsh as this sounds, it's your own damned fault for making this citizen wonder.
So I expect and demand an answer to this question, and am forced to remind my government that you folks work for us, the citizens;
"How does the world realize its true self when battleships give way to sailboats?"
And that's everyone's Koan for the 21st century...

• An annual Danie Krige Memorial Lecture to be facilitated by the School of Mining Engineering at the University of the Witwatersrand
• The annual award of a Danie Krige medal for a qualifying geostatistics paper published by the SAIMM in the previous year.
Selection criteria
The Danie Krige Medal will be awarded annually to the author (or co-authors) of the best geostatistical paper published in the previous calendar year. Accordingly, SAIMM members would be invited to nominate and/or submit papers for consideration on an annual basis.

vi. No award will be made if none of the papers in a given year meet the minimum standards of the Danie Krige Medal Committee. In evaluating papers, the committee will use the following criteria and apply their professional judgement:
a. The impact and contribution to knowledge of the paper in its specific field
b. How innovative are the ideas or techniques described in the paper
c. The relevance of the problem being addressed
d. How well the paper is written (language, structure, supporting figure etc.)
vii. Only one paper, or one series of papers on a topic by the same author, per year will qualify for the award
viii. The decision of the Danie Krige Medal Committee on the award of the medal will be final
ix. Award of a Danie Krige Medal excludes the winning paper from consideration for any other SAIMM publications awards i.e. the SAIMM Gold and Silver medals for Journal papers.
The Danie Krige medal will comprise a 38 mm diameter medal in 9 carat gold in an engraved rosewood case and carry an impression of Danie Krige on one side and the SAIMM logo on the other.

Topic: RJS not working in Apache, but working in WEBrick
I've been working on an applicaion in rails using Apache but when using this I seem to be having problems with returning RJS templates. If I switch to WEBrick everything works.
In Apache this is what i see in my log file when submitting via XHR:
ActionView::TemplateError (No such file or directory - /var/www/RailsProduction/baseline/public/../config/../app/views/budgets/department_search.rhtml) in app/views/budgets/department_search.rhtml:
However, everything works just fine in WEBrick. Anyone have any thoughts why this might not work in Apache? Is there something I've forgotton to configure?
Any thoughts anyone?

An anonymous employee of Microsoft Corp. said in a blog post the next version of Windows operating system, which is presently known as Windows 8, would change the way people think about personal computers. He did not reveal any actual details or reasons why Windows.next, as he called it, would be so revolutionary.
"The themes that have been floated truly reflect what people have been looking for years and it will change the way people think about PCs and the way they use them. It is the future of PCs," an anonymous Microsoft blogger has written, reports Hexus.net web-site.
Even though Windows has come a long way since the revolutionary Windows 95 was released fifteen years ago, newly launched operating systems usually met, but did not exceed expectations, Windows consistently supported hardware and software innovations, but the interface and logic of the system remained virtually unchanged, which is pretty rational, on the other hand. Microsoft has been talking about substantial changes within Windows, e.g., file system, for many years now, however, it never implemented it. Now, Microsoft promises another revolution.
"The minimum that folks can take for granted is that the next version will be something completely different from what folks usually expect of Windows – I am simply impressed with the process that Steven has setup to listen to our customers needs and wants and get a team together than can make it happen. To actually bring together dozens and dozens of teams across Microsoft to come up with a vision for Windows.next is a process that is surreal," claimed the blogger.
Microsoft Windows 8 is expected to be released in mid-2011.
Microsoft did not comment on the news-story.

Race Across the SkyA first 100-miler attempt involves ample sweat, suffering and tears, and reveals what it really means to "dig deep"
Duncan Callahan, 27, of Gunnison, Colorado, crests the top of Hope Pass, which, at 12,600 feet, is the race's highest point, en route to winning his second Leadville Trail 100 in 17:43:24.
Loose rocks roll under my shoes like ball bearings as I skid down the spine of 12,600-foot-high Hope Pass. Nearing the halfway point of my first 100-miler, I struggle to find balance while moving as quickly as possible down the steep mountainside, leaning heavily on my trekking poles to save my quivering quadriceps.
After descending 3000 feet in three miles, the trail meets a dead-end dirt road cutting up a deep, narrow valley. I run a few painful running steps before deciding to walk the two and a half miles to the ghost town of Winfield, laboring to suck oxygen from the thin air clouded with dust churned up by a caravan of slow-moving crew vehicles. Weariness hangs on me like a lead apron and my feet throb like meat slabs beaten with a tenderizer.
I wander, dazed, into Winfield aid station, scanning the sea of cars and tents for a familiar face. "El, over here!" my husband, Rob Russell, and friend Sari Anderson call out.
A potent mixture of exhaustion, low blood sugar, relief and dread swirls inside me until I begin sobbing. Rob sets out a camp chair. Taking the weight off my feet feels so good that I consider never standing up again. By any measure, 50 miles in 11 hours is no small feat. But it is not today's goal. That involves turning around and running those 50 miles all over again.
Welcome to the Lifetime Fitness Leadville Trail 100.

This morning's Northern Virginia wedding feature includes a ton of awesome choreographed dancing – as the bride was a former NYC choreographer and WNBA New York Liberty Dancer!! The couple wanted a whimsical forest themed wedding, filled with a sense of magic – and they compiled a bunch of DC area wedding vendors to make it happen!
Thanks to Irene Adbou Photography & Two Bright Lights, I get to share Natasha & Alonzo's stunning, modern whimsical forest wedding with you all! Natasha & Alonzo infused their wedding with their own beliefs [a Buddhist & Christian wedding ceremony] and chic sense of style. I am absolutely in love with the moss green bridesmaids dresses with their chic black bows!
Alonzo & Natasha's Magical Forest Themed Wedding in Alexandria, VA
The couple wanted a Whimsical Forest theme for their wedding and to encapture that idea, Natasha filled the wedding design with eclectic, magical touches. She brought in elements of natural wood for the gift table, topiary tree escort card holders, cascading white and green flower arrangements (including hanging green amaranthus) on the reception dinner tables, table numbers with pictures of peacocks that Natasha took in New Mexico and place cards showcasing exotic trees from different countries.
I am in LOVE with the huge black bows on the green bridesmaids dresses. SO freakin' stylish!

Hi Bellas,
I'm back with another video! I think a lot of you will find this one super helpful. I recently took a MAC Pro class on how to achieve the "No-Makeup" Makeup look. This is great for those of us that want a natural yet enhanced look for ourselves or our clients.
Click here for more!
Check out part 1:
Part 2:
For those of us who have the MAC Pro membership, we're able to take a class each season on a makeup technique or trend. You pay $100 which goes into a MAC Gift Card, and you attend the 2 hour class. Our subject was achieving the "No Makeup" Makeup look. Our MAC Trainer, Fatima Thomas, was super knowledgeable about how to achieve a flawless look. This is the kind of image you may see in a commercial for lotion or skincare, where the model looks absolutely perfect...like he/she was born that way.
We had two models - one Asian female and an African-American male. It was great to see her work magic on two completely different subjects.
I'm going to share with you a few tips I learned from the class:
-It's very important to prep the face and have a healthy looking canvas
-Moisturizer is key to plump up the skin.
-MAC Lightful Softening Lotion is a great light weight moisturizer which is super light, almost like water. Men don't mind you applying it on them because it is so light weight.
-Use an exfoliator if you can (it can be hard if you have a model and no sink, but you can definitely do this on yourself)
-For lip scrubs, let the client do it on their own so you don't go too hard on their skin. No lip scrub? Use a pack of sugar and some lip moisturizer instead.
-Fatima recommends light weight buildable products on the skin like MAC Face and Body, Studio Sculpt, and Select Cover Up concealer.
-She recommends setting the foundation with Mineralized Skin Finish Natural
-For cheeks, pick a cream blush that matches the actual cheek color
-Use cream colour bases for subtle highlights - pearl, luna, hush, and improper copper should cover all skin tones
-Don't over-conceal for men's makeup, leave a little redness and imperfection to the skin to keep them looking masculine and natural
-Studio Fix Powder in C5 is a great universal bronzer color for many skin tones
-The Pro Sculpt & Shape Powders are great a mimicking natural highlight and contours on the face
-Brow hair has a slick look to it, so use a pencil if you're adding on brush strokes.
-Powder works great for filling in sparse areas
-Recommended MAC eyeshadow colors for brows include: coquette, omega, brun, embark, espresso
-Curl the lashes after mascara to keep the hold. Let the client blink to release the lash from the curler if it sticks.
-Individual lashes are great for enhancing the eyes without looking too obvious
I hope these tips were helpful! Make sure to check out the video for a complete review of the class and my haul. Ciao Bellas!

Residential care facilities providing multidisciplinary integrated care for older people achieve higher scores on 32 risk-adjusted quality of care indicators than facilities providing usual care
- School of Nursing and Midwifery, National University of Ireland Galway, Galway, Ireland
- Correspondence to Adeline Cooney
School of Nursing and Midwifery, National University of Ireland Galway, Aras Moyola, University Road, Galway, Ireland; adeline.cooney{at}nuigalway.ie
Implications for practice and research
Quality of care in residential facilities is improved when multidisciplinary integrated care is implemented; Further research should focus on identifying which elements of multidisciplinary integrated care are most effective in improving residents' quality of care and quality of life; Future studies should focus on comparing different packages of multidisciplinary integrated care with each other and on evaluating the effectiveness of such packages in different populations including older people with and without chronic illness.
Approximately 10% of Dutch older people aged 75+ live in residential care settings (Boorsma et al).These settings were established to provide 'sheltered living' to relatively healthy older people (Boorsma et al). However the profile of older people living in these facilities is changing. Residents are older, have multiple chronic illnesses and …

IPCC enters new stage of Fifth Assessment Report review
GENEVA, 5 October The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is moving to a new stage in the preparation of its next major report, the Fifth Assessment Report, with the first of three government and expert reviews that will take place between now and May 2013.
The multi-stage review of draft reports is a key element of the IPCC assessment process. The main stages are the review of the first order draft by scientific experts, the review of the second order draft by governments and experts, which starts today, and a final round of government comments on the draft Summary for Policymakers.
In the second stage of the review, IPCC member governments are invited to review the second order drafts of the reports. Individuals with relevant expertise may also provide expert comments. The purpose of this government and expert review is to help ensure that the report represents the latest scientific and technical findings, provides a balanced and comprehensive assessment of the current information and is consistent with the mandate of the working groups and the outline of the Fifth Assessment Report that was approved by the Panel in October 2009.
2012. Further details are available at https://sod.ipcc.unibe.ch/registration/ .
The number of experts involved in the review of the first order draft of the three IPCC working groups ranged from 563 to 659 for each working group, resulting in between 16,124 and 21,400 comments for each working group's draft. Report authors must respond to each comment and they draw on the comments to produce the second order drafts. Experts who took part in this review are also invited to comment on the second order draft.
Following the multi-stage review, the Summary for Policymakers and the full report are submitted for approval and acceptance to the IPCC Plenary, its main decision-taking body. To ensure transparency, all review comments and author responses are made available on the IPCC website after the reports are accepted and finalized.
Working Group I will release its Summary for Policymakers in September 2013. Working Group II will release its Summary for Policymakers in March 2014, followed by Working Group III in April 2014. The Synthesis Report, that synthesizes key findings from the assessment reports of the IPCC's three working groups and from recent Special Reports, is due to be released in October 2014, marking the end of the current assessment cycle.

Note for editors
The IPCC provides governments with a clear view of the current state of knowledge about the science of climate change, its potential impacts, and options for adaptation and mitigation, through regular assessments of the most recent information published in scientific, technical and socio-economic literature worldwide. IPCC assessments are policy-relevant, but not policy-prescriptive.

In Shape And Being Healthy
There's a big difference between being in shape and being healthy. You can be healthy but not be in shape, and you can be in shape but not be in good health. When I was training for the circus I was in great shape. I was a lean 165 pounds, ripped to the core, training 8 to 10 hours a day. I'd start the morning with handstands and finish the day doing chin ups. Three times a week I would train MMA style at the local fighter's gym and teach self-defense at night. This went on for four years.
But I was not healthy, despite my fit appearance, acrobatic agility, and intense physical lifestyle. I'd start the morning with a chocolate muffin and milk and finish the day eating instant Ramen noodles. Most of the week I was in pain – a rotating kind – where each day the suffering would migrate to a new part of the body. I had severe back issues for most of my second year in training, sprained ankles for most of my third, and uncountable cuts, bruises, bumps, and scars for the entire duration. I fought the flu at least 2 to 3 times a year. I ate randomly, whenever I wanted, and almost always the food contained sugar and white flour. I slept late, woke early, trained hard, and slept late again.
The outside projected pristine health – the glowing physical prowess of an athlete in training, full of youth, well-oiled body parts, and a fully revved engine. I was hitting red line RPMs with a smile on my face and eagerness in my heart. The totality of training was a way of being extreme, young, and fully alive.
I was definitely in shape but not healthy. Slowly, my body was falling apart. This youthful race car was starting to hiccup and limp to the finish line. By the time I completed my training I was strong, skilled – and injured. My grand denouement or final act at the circus school was a pulled rib cartilage that rendered me incapable of even sitting up on my own. I was condemned to four weeks of shallow breathing, slow walking, and much time to reflect.
There was a gradual dawning that although I could make the packaging look good, the contents inside were rotting. I needed to invest in better foods, wiser training habits, and more sleep. Health was an elusive benefit that not even a professional acrobat was privy too. You had to work for health too.
Although today I may not be doing the same number of flips, jumps, and spins as I did during my training, I consider my current state as one of the healthiest ever. I am mostly without pain, with the exception of the occasional intense workout. I eat well and allow myself to be indulgent when I want to be. When I've had enough of Thanksgiving turkey, apple pie, and cider beer, my body tells me and I naturally bounce back to eating fresh, organic foods again. My body knows health, and is attracted to it.
I'm not at my performance weight but not far from it. I train when my body feels like moving – which is almost every day, but not always. I sit and watch Friends reruns and then get up and hike in the desert. The definition of health has changed for me over the years and it is by far the healthiest yet.
I used to never drink, fast for days, do week long herbal cleanses, and exercise religiously. It was a regiment of to do's to align myself with what I thought was true health. I felt great for a while, but in the end, lost the rhythm of the cleanse, changed exercise programs, and gravitated to a new type of fast. It wasn't consistent.
My current understanding of true health is the ability to carefully listen to the needs of your body and act upon them. Over-training is as dangerous as not moving at all. Severe diets, cleanses, and fasts can be as detrimental as junk food for breakfast everyday. There is only one book that can give you the recipe for greater health, and that book is written by you.
To drink in consciousness, to eat ice cream in consciousness, and to watch football in consciousness is a greater sign of health than exercising because a sheet of paper, handed to you by your trainer, tells you to do so. Developing consciousness is the greatest catalyst for developing sustainable and natural health, because you already know what you need. All you have to do is listen for it, and then act upon it.

"I notice that using the massage chair has helped to radically reduce tension in my neck from all the computer work I have to do. I also have an overall sense of well-being by not having any back tension at all during the day." – Alvin Tam

As an eight-year-old in foster care, Kalimah Priforce read all the books in his group home, some of them twice. Told it was "impossible" to get more books, he went on a hunger strike, he writes in "Please sir, can I read some more" on The Good Men Project. Inspired by Peter Pan, Encyclopedia Brown, Huckleberry Finn, The Little Prince and Pippi Longstocking, he got more books and the right to visit a local library.
Reading exposed him to a wider world.
Thanks to Twain, Barrie, Dickens, Caroll, and so many more, books gave my earliest dreams the push they needed to make the incredible journey from the confines of a Brooklyn group home to the learning labs of Silicon Valley — where I currently run an edtech startup. My life's work is about giving every learning miracle its push.
A "hackademic," Priforce started Qykno to develop career-exploration software.
