Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993)
Numismatic Information
Commentary: Of all Philadelphia Mint circulation strike dollars, excepting the spectral 1895, the 1901 is the rarest in Mint State. Probably, many were placed into circulation at or near the time of issue. Those that were not, probably were melted under the Pittman Act of 1918.
In 1901 and for several succeeding decades, collectors desiring an example of the date ordered Proofs. Circulation strikes were neither wanted nor collected. So far as is known, this date was not represented in any Treasury releases of the 1940s, 1950s, or the remarkable early 1960s.
Over the years, very few Mint State 1901 dollars have appeared in auctions. Those that did in early sales were not recognized for their rarity; the Granberg Collection coin sold by B. Max Mehl in 1919 for $1.20 is an example. During the 1950s and 1960s, many Uncirculated 1901 dollars appeared in fixed price lists and advertisements. It is probable that most of those were what we would call AU today. However, one cannot help but wistfully wonder if such offerings as Ben Douglas' December 1951 listing at $3.95 or, better yet, Norman Shultz's January 1959 offering at only $2.50, might have been the real thing, for these men had good reputations. Be that as it may, when Morgan dollars began to be studied in detail in the 1960s, the 1901 Philadelphia Mint issue was soon recognized as a major league rarity.
Circulated grades: Circulated 1901 Morgan dollars are plentiful, but they sell for a premium due to the general unavailability of Mint State grades.
Mint State grades: While specimens remain in MS-60 to 62 grades to the extent of an estimated 750 to 1,500 pieces, at higher levels the 1901 dollar is a major rarity. Only about 100 to 200 MS-63 coins are known, just 10 to 20 in MS-64, and, possibly, only 2 to 4 in MS-65.
Most Mint State 1901 dollars are poorly struck and have inadequate lustre. A coin that is MS-60 to MS-62 from a technical viewpoint, can be dull and unattractive. As if this were not enough, most show unsightly bagmarks. As the preceding estimates show, higher grade Mint State dollars exist but are exceedingly rare. The typical specialist in silver dollars will often find that years elapse between stocking coins in as high as MS-63 grade. Forget about MS-64 and MS-65.
As noted, many coins sold as "Uncirculated" over the years are what we would call AU today. My advice is to buy no 1901 dollar that is not certified.
Prooflike coins: The 1901 is exceedingly rare with PL or DMPL finish. Only two DMPLs were known to Wayne Miller when he wrote his book in 1982, and few if any have turned up on the market since. One mentioned by Miller was in a Spokane, Washington collection in 1980, and the second was sold with the Bruce Todd Collection in January 1973.
Caveat emptor: Fake 1901 "Philadelphia" coins are sometimes made by removing the 0 or S mintmark from a branch mint coin.
Circulation strikes:
1. VAM-1. Usually seen in AU or slider grade. Walter H. Breen has seen no old hub coins in full Mint State, prooflike, DMPL, or Proof. Probably not all the 43 obverses and 44 reverses were used; these figures include reverses from the new hub (below).
Circulation strikes:
1. C-4 reverse hub over C-3: Breen-5681, VAM-5, 6, 7, 9. Most 1901 dollars have not been inspected for this feature. Slightly scarce.
Circulation strikes:
1. Breen-5679, VAM-2. Sliders are common and sometimes were graded MS-60 to 63 before the advent of PCGS and NGC. Prooflikes exist from this reverse (of the two reported by Wayne Miller).
2. Doubled die reverse, "Shifted Eagle": Breen-5680, VAM-3, F&S $1-010. Doubling plainest at eagle; 14 tail feathers. Rare. One Mint State coin (ANACS MS-61) is known in a population estimated to be just a few dozen pieces in all grades. The unpublicized VAM-7 is another reverse doubled die.
Dies prepared: Obverse: 43; Reverse: 44
Circulation strike mintage: 6,962,000; Delivery figures by month: January: 360,000; February: 500,000; March: 42,000; April: none; May: 824,000; June: 1,462,000; July: 400,000; August: 1,514,000; September: 1,740,000; October: 86,000; November: none; December: 34,000.
Estimated quantity melted: Possibly about 5,000,000 under the 1918 Pittman Act.
Availability of prooflike coins: Writing in 1982, Wayne Miller knew of only two DMPL specimens.
Characteristics of striking: Usually poorly struck.
Known hoards of Mint State coins: None.
Distribution of Dollars
The Annual Report of the Director of the Mint, 1901, told of distribution of dollars during the fiscal year: Philadelphia: In the mint July 1,1900,73,243,954; transferred from Treasury for storage, 5,000,000; coinage, fiscal year 1901, 8,500,850; total, 86,744,804; in mint July 1, 1901 86,075,954; total, 86,075,954; distributed from mint, 668,850.

Chester Shelgren
QUINNESEC – Chester W. Shelgren, 92, of Quinnesec, formerly of Stambaugh, passed away on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2013, at Freeman's Nursing and Rehabilitation Community in Kingsford.

Chester enlisted in the United States Air Force after graduation and saw action in Okinawa during World War II. Upon being honorably discharged he returned home, where he married Shirley Cavadias on Nov. 11, 1950, in Gaastra. They spent nearly 56 wonderful years together, before she preceded him in death in June 2006.
He worked for the Iron County Road Commission for 30 years, before retiring in 1983. He was a lifelong member of the Iron River Elks Lodge and the American Legion Post 17 of Stambaugh. He loved hunting and fishing, but his true passion was gardening and spending time with his grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by a brother, Orville Shelgren; a sister, Editha Gedvick; a son-in-law, Timothy Recla; and a granddaughter-in-law, Jessica Recla.
Chester is survived by his children, Brad (Trudy) Shelgren of Iron River, Denise Recla (Doug Buck) of Quinnesec, Cassie (Tom) Domina of Chicago, and Tracy (Alan) Borchardt of Maple Grove, Minn.; grandchildren, Craig (Erin) Recla, Doug (Katy) Recla, Josh (Jennifer) Domina, Jake Domina, and Jaci Domina; and two great-grandchildren, Timmy Recla and Lou Recla.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude for the loving care and family-like environment the Freeman Nursing Home provided.

Mr. Speaker, for the first time in its long history, the influential Architectural League of New York has named two Canadian design firms among the winners of its young architects competition.
My constituent, a Niagara district secondary graduate, Stephanie Forsythe, and Todd MacAllen of Forsythe and MacAllen Design Associates based in Vancouver join an impressive roll that includes many of America's most respected architects.
Stephanie and Todd are the principals of their firm founded in 1996. Both of them received their Master of Architecture degree at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia in 2002. The two young Canadian architects are natural heirs to the Canadian school of new modernism.
I congratulate Stephanie and her partner for receiving this prestigious award. I would like to point out that this is a stellar example of the talent shown today by Canadian youth. Both deserve our congratulations.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs tabled its 33rd report on proposed electoral boundaries for the province of Alberta. The report states that the ideal solution would be to leave the riding of St. Albert as it is. The report also strongly urges the commission to listen to the municipal, provincial and federal voices that have asked for the constituency to remain essentially intact.
The citizens of my constituency have been united in their opposition to the division of the riding of St. Albert. Representatives from the city of St. Albert, the town of Morinville, the town of Legal, the town of Stony Plain, Sturgeon County, Parkland County and the Association canadienne-française de l'Alberta have said that this must not happen. In addition, the Standing Committee on Official Languages and now the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs have raised their voices in opposition to the changes.
It is now time for the Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission to wake up, return to the drawing board, and preserve the riding of St. Albert.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honour the courage and sacrifice of our Canadian Forces. On this day, 59 years ago, they set foot on a section of the Normandy coast, code-named Juno Beach, and took part in the initial assault of Operation Overlord that led to the liberation of Europe.
More specifically, I would like the House to join me in acknowledging the contribution of some special Canadian soldiers who took part in the D-Day operation and were stationed in my hometown, the Royal Winnipeg Rifles.
The soldiers of the Winnipeg company who were ordered to land at the western edge of the beach paid a large price for victory. Their landing craft came under brisk gunfire while they were still far offshore. Many men died the instant they waded into the chest high water.
Nonetheless, the survivors advanced past the beach defences, cleared the minefields, and occupied the adjoining coastal villages. In a few hours, the company lost almost three-quarters of its men, but victory was theirs.
They died for us, for our children, and for our freedom. We shall always remember them.

Mr. Speaker, today I am pleased to tell the House about the honour received today by Hélène Alarie, a member of our party in the House of Commons from 1997 to 2000, now vice-president of the Bloc Quebecois and the first woman agrologist in Quebec.
Today, June 6, Ms. Alarie received the highest distinction of her profession, when she was made a Commandeur de l'Ordre du mérite agronomique, in recognition of her exceptional commitment.
We know that Ms. Alarie, a professional agrologist for 40 years and well known in her profession within Quebec, has worked actively on behalf of farmers and continues to work on GMOs and other issues.
She is the daughter of an agrologist, Albert Alarie, who received the same award in 1981. And today is also Ms. Alarie's 62nd birthday.
Our congratulations and very best wishes go to Ms. Alarie.

Mr. Speaker, today is the 59th anniversary of D-Day when Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy.
When the Canadian Forces landed on Juno Beach, my father was one of them, a member of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. His landing craft was blown up from enemy fire and he wound up recovering in a London hospital from severe shrapnel wounds until his return to France to fight in the battles of the Falais Gap and Caen in August 1944.
My father and his comrades were volunteers--men and women who fought for freedom and democracy. They were known as the "shock troops" of Europe.
Today, we commemorate a memorial in the configuration of a maple leaf overlooking the invasion beach. This memorial is a living testimony to the tremendous sacrifices of Canadians who were prepared to pay the ultimate price in order that we may enjoy our fundamental freedoms today. This is an historic and important date to remember and to honour.

Mr. Speaker, as we sit in the House of Commons today, our D-Day veterans are once again on the beaches of Normandy. Today, they are the first guests to visit the new Juno Beach Centre, which honours Canada's sacrifices and successes on June 6, 1944.
Some have said this centre is long overdue and they are right. On D-Day, 59 years ago today, 14,000 Canadians were fighting, many dying, on the beaches of Normandy. These soldiers were mostly kids, many younger than my three sons.
D-Day has often been called the beginning of the end of World War II. By day's end, Canadian troops had progressed further inland than any of our Allies. If Canada became a nation at Vimy Ridge, we reinforced it on D-Day.
Our country has a long and proud military history. The Juno Beach Centre will help honour an important part of our past. On behalf of the Canadian Alliance, Canada's official opposition, I say that we owe them more than we can ever repay. May God bless them all.

Mr. Speaker, on June 6, 1944, now known to history as D-Day, Operation Overlord, the long awaited invasion of Northwest Europe, began with the Allied landing on the coast of Normandy.
Canadian soldiers were responsible for Juno beach in the centre of the British front. The task was huge. The Germans had turned the coastline into a continuous fortress with guns, pillboxes, wires, mines, and beach obstacles. The outcome of the war would largely depend on the results of this assault.
More than 14,000 Canadians landed in Normandy on D-Day. Inevitably, the cost of human life was considerable. The Canadian assault force suffered 1,074 casualties, of which 359 were fatal.
Today, as we recognize the 59th anniversary of D-Day, hundreds of Canadian veterans and family members are returning to the northern shores of France for the official opening of the Juno Beach Centre.
This interpretive centre has been designed to commemorate the more than one million men and women who enlisted in the Canadian armed--

Mr. Speaker, today marks the anniversary of the Canadian landing at Juno Beach on D-Day, June 6,1944. It was a shining moment in our nation's history. All Canadians should today reflect on the valour and selfless dedication of its veterans. They should be thanked and remembered for fighting in the name of democracy and freedom.
This reflection harks back to a time when the Canadian military had the political and material support to lead the charge. At that time we were an equal contributing partner with our American and British Allies. We could and did make a difference.
I would like to take this opportunity today to thank the veterans and their families in my constituency, and across the country who participated in this historic event. They will forever represent the best of Canada.

Mr. Speaker, June 6, 1944 dawned like any other morning for most people in the world, but it would go down in history as a turning point in the second world war.
Operation Overlord, the long-awaited landing on the beaches of Normandy, had begun. The Allied forces dropped 23,000 parachutists and landed 133,000 soldiers. Four thousand small boats, 600 warships and 10,000 aircraft threw themselves into the assault on the enemy forces, wave after wave.
With thousands of points of light giving the cliffs the appearance of an electric pinball game, fear and courage came together as one, as the words of this soldier tell us:
I am fighting because my ancestors left me a legacy of freedom, and it is my duty to pass it on. I am fighting with the fervent hope that those who come after us will not have to fight again.
Armed warfare should never be condoned, but these valiant and brave soldiers will remain forever in our collective memory.

Mr. Speaker, juvenile diabetes affects many Canadians. That is why last Sunday over 1,200 energetic individuals and 80 volunteers gathered to walk for a cure.
I was honoured to join volunteers like Christie Schuet, the youth ambassador for Waterloo-Wellington, Christine Bruce who organized families and raised their contribution to over 32% over last year's contribution, and Ball Construction that led an amazing participation on behalf of local contractors.
Great strides have been made in research for a cure. Researchers have found that embryonic stem cell research is critical in beating juvenile diabetes. Scientists have already shown that they may be able to direct the growth of stem cells into insulin producing cells that can produce a cure.
This is an exciting time in diabetic research for juveniles. This walk raised over $132,000 and we are anticipating an equally successful walk this Sunday in Cambridge. I ask all hon. members to join me in thanking the supporters who came out to support--

Mr. Speaker, with all the Alliance flip-flops lately one has to wonder if it has a secret deal with David Orchard as well.
It used to demand that corporations regulate themselves. Then a rail accident hit B.C. What did the Alliance say? It flip-flopped faster than Mike Harris and Walkerton. It said to get government back on the job with more regulations.
It used to want to privatize medicare and railed on about those lazy bureaucrats wasting money in the health system. Then SARS hit and the Alliance discovered some value in public health care. It mocks the Tories on principles, but during a health crisis its principles go into hiding.
Then there is EI. When EI cuts hurt Quebec and Atlantic Canada, the Alliance could not care less. It said to just cut faster. Now it cannot stop talking about EI as if it has just realized that the unemployed are people too.
The next thing we know it will want more money for farmers after demanding that Liberals cut subsidies to farmers even faster. So much for Alliance principles.

Mr. Speaker, the Canadian cattle industry is facing the worst animal health crisis in the history of the industry. Having been a beef producer in my former life, my heart goes out to my constituents, neighbours, and friends who are facing the loss of their farms, feedlots and livelihoods.
If they do not regain access to the American market immediately, or if the government does not come forward with an interim aid package that is bankable within days, not months, the worst case scenario will come true. Existing farm safety net programs cannot work for extraordinary disaster in the feedlot industry where finished cattle have backed up and losses are estimated at $100 million per month.
The government must move now to show some human compassion to prevent increased human and animal suffering if this situation is allowed to continue.

6 High-Tech Sprinklers to Keep Your Lawn Green
There's no telling nowadays what people build. Decks, docks, treehouses, pressure-treated retaining walls, sheds, fences and firewood racks are projects our readers have asked about recently. This work calls for lots of fasteners, especially lag screws. Only one tool combines rotational speed and blows per minute in a way that makes it excel at driving these big screws: the impact driver. It's faster and more consistent than a drill driver and transfers less reaction torque to you. We gathered nine li-ion impact drivers, and a thousand screws later, here's what we found.
ALL LAG SCREWS USED WERE 1¼" x 3"
|RPM/BPM: 2800/3200 Amp-Hours: 2.6 Lag Screws: 128
|The Bosch is a capable driver equipped with three speed/impact settings. It seems the most likely to survive a drop off a ladder owing to its thoroughly protected rubber nose and handle.
|The driver is larger and heavier than comparable products. Its speed/impact selector switch is hard to budge.

It would not be hard to argue that this is one of the things the Forest offers people who volunteer in the Kitchen.

I can think of at least one volunteer who was encouraged to come to the forest by his social worker as part of getting him cooking and eating more healthily.
Aplicants need to tackle one of these issues:
Availability - such as the lack of access to fruit and vegetables of an acceptable quality and cost Affordability - such as the cost of getting to the shops as well as the cost of shopping Skills - such as the lack of confidence and skills for cooking or shopping Culture - such as long established dietary habits and reluctance to experiment with new foods

N.Y. Power Authority Sponsors
Career Day Event for White Plains Young People
Paul DeMichele
printer-friendly version
July 15, 2005
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) invited 10th and 11th
graders from the White Plains Youth Bureau to its headquarters office
here Friday in recognition of the importance of role models in the lives
of young people.
This is the second year NYPA and the youth bureau have joined forces for
the career day event, which offers a glimpse of different types of
professions, including engineering, accounting, marketing, law and
public relations.
"These children greatly benefit from career events like this one, where
they receive tangible advice from people with established careers," said
Rita Curro of the youth bureau. "It adds a sense of attainability and
promise to their futures, and we thank the Power Authority and its
employees for their support and guidance."
The White Plains Youth Bureau coordinates programs for adolescents,
including counseling, employment services and day camps.
Jamaal Eddie, a 14-year-old White Plains High School student, was among
those who visited at NYPA. "I'm just very grateful that we could come
here and listen to all these successful people."
"It was a great pleasure to talk with these kids and give them a sense
of what we as individuals do at the Power Authority, and on our
educational and career experiences for the jobs we hold, " said Joseph
Leary, NYPA director, Public and Governmental Affairs. "These kids are
terrific and asked a lot of great questions, showing keen interest in
what we do here."
Leary, who has worked at NYPA for 12 years, is in charge of its
community outreach efforts in New York City, where it operates clean, natural
gas-fueled power plants, has pioneered new alternative energy
technologies, and serves the electric load of thousands of public
Chris Copeland, another speaker Friday, is an account executive in
NYPA's Marketing and Economic Development unit, working closely with the
Authority's Westchester government customers, including the County of
Westchester and the City of White Plains. "I was delighted to meet these
youngsters and share some of the formative experiences I've had over the
years, including graduating from Morehouse College in Atlanta.
Hopefully, we reinforced the importance of college and gave the kids
greater awareness of different professions."
Over the years, NYPA's headquarters employees have also served as
mentors at nearby schools. And last March, the Power Authority hosted a
job fair at its White Plains Office to promote summer jobs for area
In addition to providing lower cost electricity to Westchester schools,
hospitals and other public facilities, the Power Authority has
undertaken major energy efficiency projects in the county that have
lowered electric bills by nearly $7 million a year and reduced
greenhouse gas emissions by about 54,000 tons annually. It's also put
about 200 electric-drive vehicles on the county's roads, including for
its own fleet of vehicles—some of which were shown to the visiting
students on Friday

I have downloaded the whole site using SFTP to my machine but they say I need to use svn and capistrano to maintain it but I don't know how I do this (nor particularly understand what it means)?
Some details about the system:
The site is hosted on a Linux server.
We also have an internal Staging Server which I have installed Ruby and Rails on for testing purposes.
My development machine has Windows.
How do I install Capistrano and SVN on the Stagins server.
Do I install Capistrano on this machine (Windows)?
I guess I also need a SVN client (I have used Tortoise in the past at a previous company) or does Capistrano act as this.
Once I have done this I can start unpicking it adn how it works then play around with it on the staging server before touching the live site.
Many thanks for any help.

Alexander St. Press is providing trial access to UMass Lowell for its March of Time newsreel collection from April 4 to June 2, 2012.
The March of Time newsreel collection contains the full run of the series, 415 videos in total, digitally remastered by HBO Archives, with searchable transcripts.These films, produced from 1935 to 1967 and in theaters until 1951, are arguably the most important U.S. newsreels created and have the highest production values. The subjects were at times controversial (e.g. racism, poverty, fascism), and so were some of March of Time's filming methods. The films sometimes interspersed simulations of events within the real news footage to recreate events more vividly for their audiences. Actors who appeared in these simulations included well known celebrities such as Agnes Moorehead, Art Carney, and Orson Welles.March of Time lost out to television programming in the 1950s and aired its last program in 1967.
The March of Time videos have been Semantically Indexed by Alexander St. Press, and users can search by people, places, historical events, and topics.
Key content includes:
- Huey Long – (Volume 1, Episode 3) – April 19, 1935
- The Presidency – (Volume 3, Episode 3) – November 6, 1936
- The Supreme Court – (Volume 3, Episode 9) – April 16, 1937
- Inside Nazi Germany – (Volume 4, Episode 6) – January 18, 1938
- On Foreign News Fronts – (Volume 7, Episode 1) – September 1940
- Atomic Power – (Volume 12, Episode 13) – August 9, 194
- We are the Marines (Feature Film – Released December 1942)
Access to this trial is available through the library's New Database Trials and Subscriptions webpage.

Topic: Need to make dynamic checkboxes.
I am working on a project for my company, I work for a bank. Basically, the users will use the app to search for checks in the mysql database. It will create a list of their results. Each result will have a check box. At the bottom of the list will be a "select all" and "deselect all" button. There will also be a print button. Basically, they click the check-boxes of whatever items they want to print (or they hit select all/deselect all) and then click print, and it will dynamically build a pdf file (I'm using the pdf::writer plugin) with images of the checks in a certain layout.
I have implemented the backend for the pdf generation, and that is working. I have also implemented the select all, deselect all button with the following code:
http://www.shiningstar.net/articles/art .asp?ID=AW
As, you can see, that form sets every checkbox to the same name, "list", then the javascript loops through the checkboxes with:
function checkAll(field)
for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++)
field[i].checked = true ;
function uncheckAll(field)
for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++)
field[i].checked = false ;
So apparently javascript has the ability to loop through form fields that have same name with the field.length and field[i] references. However, in my code, when I submit the form, the ruby action is unable to see them as different fields. I am setting the value of each checkbox to the corresponding CheckId value (CheckId is a unique id in the table that I am pulling the data from), but they are all given the same name, "list".. so when I submit the form and then put this in the view:
<%params[:list].each do |item|%>
It only shows the value of the first check_box.. apparently ruby has no way of parsing form fields with the same name like javascript does.
Does anyone know how to implement something like this, with dynamic form lengths, dynamic field names, and select and deselect all buttons?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Fans, please tone it down
Fan – a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal.
My daughter plays on a varsity girls basketball team. I used to look forward to the games, but not so much anymore. Our team is 0-9 (as of this writing), but the losing record has nothing to do with why I don't look forward to the games.
It is because of some of our "fans." Our team is not doing so well, but it is not because they want to lose. They all make mistakes and will continue to make mistakes because nobody is perfect. I don't mind yelling at games, I do it myself.
It is the singling out of players when they make a mistake and screaming directly at them that I have a problem with. When players are looking up into the stands and asking people to "please stop," this is unacceptable in my opinion.
How can they possibly focus on the game? At the beginning of our home games our announcer makes an announcement and part of it says, "good sportsmanship is a reflection of the classroom."
I am sure none of you would appreciate a teacher screaming at your child if they did not understand something or made a mistake on their work.
So I am politely asking you to stop yelling discouraging things at the kids and start yelling encouraging things. Thank you.
Shelly Stroud, proud parent and fan

Delaware State University's College of Business has maintained its business accreditation by AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
AACSB accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education and has been earned by less than five percent of the world's business programs. Today, there are more than 650 business schools in 45 countries and territories that maintain AACSB Accreditation. Similarly, 178 institutions maintain an additional specialized AACSB Accreditation for their accounting programs.
Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.
"It takes a great deal of commitment and determination to earn and maintain AACSB Accreditation," said Robert D. Reid, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International. "Business schools must not only meet specific standards of excellence, but their deans, faculty and professional staff must make a commitment to ongoing continuous improvement to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver the highest quality of education to students."
The reaffirmation of the DSU College of Business' AACSB International accreditation includes its academic programs in accounting, management, as well as hospitality and tourism management. The College of Business also has one of the best advisement centers among DSU colleges and engages in extensive outreach through its Delaware Center for Enterprise Development and its University Center for Economic Development and Trade.
In addition to AACSB accredited programs, the College of Business also offers degree programs in aviation and sport management.
The College of Business earned its initial AACSB accreditation in December 2006.
Dr. Harry L. Williams, president of Delaware State University, said the faculty and staff of the College of Business are to be commended for maintaining the high standard that the AACSB requires.
"As we continue on our journey toward becoming the top University among Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the U.S., it is critical that our accredited academic programs maintain the standards of excellence that make Delaware State University the institution where students can achieve their educational and professional aspirations," said Dr. Williams. "Maintaining an accredited level of academic performance ensures that DSU will continue to produce the future generations of successful business leaders, managers, executives and entrepreneurs that will help fuel the economy of our country."
Dr. Alton Thompson, DSU provost and vice president of Academic Affairs, said he is pleased that AACSB International recognizes the high quality, market relevance and rigor of the academic programs and talented faculty in the College of Business.
"Since less than five percent of business schools are AACSB accredited, our graduates have a competitive advantage when they go out into the marketplace for employment or when they apply for admissions into graduate and professional programs," Dr. Thompson said.
The dean of the College of Business is Dr. Shelton Rhodes, who has been in that academic leadership post since May 2011.
"AACSB is world renowned as the ultimate stamp of excellence for business schools and colleges. The maintenance of this coveted recognition of quality reflects the commitment of our College of Business faculty and staff to continuous improvement," Dr. Rhodes said. "Success in maintaining AACSB accreditation requires a team effort, and this victory was earned by our faculty and staff on behalf of our students."

AACSB International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), founded in 1916, is an association of more than 1,300 educational institutions, businesses, and other organizations in 81countries and territories. AACSB's mission is to advance quality management education worldwide through accreditation, thought leadership and value-added services. As the premier accreditation body for institutions offering undergraduate, master's and doctorate degrees in business and accounting, the association also conducts a wide array of conferences and seminar programs at locations throughout the world. AACSB's global headquarters is located in Tampa, Fla. and its Asia Pacific headquarters is located in Singapore.

Jury selection for Taglianetti under way
MAYVILLE – After the first official day of jury selection in the second-degree murder trial for Anthony R. Taglianetti II, no jurors have been selected.
The roughly 75 jurors who had been called for the first round of jury selection Tuesday returned to the courthouse Thursday. Jurors were adjourned prior to the commencement of jury selection Tuesday, after information was brought forward to the court by District Attorney David Foley that was not previously received by Ned Barone, public defender.
Judge John T. Ward held a closed hearing regarding the new information Wednesday. Following the hearing, Foley indicated the information would be able to be used during the trial. Jurors returned to the courthouse Thursday to commence selection.
After having duties explained by Ward, 12 potential jurors and four alternates were selected via lottery. Once the 16 jurors were seated, Ward questioned how many had heard of the case prior to his explanation. Each potential juror seated acknowledged they had.
Following a brief sidebar with the defense and prosecution, Ward announced each potential juror would be interviewed individually in a side room, which Barone later called "unusual."
"It's not typical. It's unusual," Barone said. "But, the reason why we're doing that is because of the sensitive nature of some of the questions that we're asking. We're getting into some of the issues that may come out at the time of trial. Quite frankly, I don't think there are certain issues that potential jurors want to talk about in front of everybody else. I think the system we've come up with in questioning the jurors, or possible jurors, is working pretty well."
Barone said each team had agreed to the process, which is touching on the pre-trial publicity each potential juror had encountered. Although he said it's a slow process, Barone also said it seems to be working.
"We're trying to make it as convenient as we can for possible jurors," he said. "It's not easy, it's a difficult process, it's inconvenient for them a lot of times. So, we're trying to make it as easy as we can for them."
Following the first round of questioning, the court dismissed 12 of the 16 original jurors. Eight new jurors and four new alternates were called via lottery to fill the empty seats, and the court once again began questioning the new potential jurors. Ward announced once all 16 seats were filled with candidates following the individual questioning, the court would move to questioning those jurors in public session. However, until each seat was filled, jurors will continue to report back to the court until they are dismissed. Currently, no permanent jurors have been named.
Barone said following the first day of questioning, the court is finding many people have some degree of prior knowledge of the case.
"That's what we're finding out – everybody's heard about this case," he said. "That was one of our concerns. But every person is different; every individual is different. What we're looking for are individuals – regardless of what they've heard or talked about – that can still be fair and impartial. For every individual, that's different. Things affect everybody differently. … There's no magic formula. It'd be easy if there was, but there isn't."
Jury selection will continue Friday. Ward told the court he expected jury selection to last "a couple weeks." Additionally, Ward said testimony is expected to begin the first week of October, continue throughout the month, and potentially spill into November.
Taglianetti, a former Dale City, Va., resident is charged with driving to New York and shooting Keith Reed Jr., Clymer Central School superintendent, over an alleged affair between Reed and Taglianetti's wife.
Police named Taglianetti a suspect in the Sept. 21, 2012, homicide of Reed. He was taken into custody days later in Virginia, and in December was extradited to Chautauqua County. On Dec. 19, 2012, Taglianetti pleaded innocent to a second-degree murder charge. Taglianetti appeared in court in July for pre-trial hearings on evidence and identification.
Foley declined to comment following jury selection.

I kicked off this morning on the South Lawn of the White House awaiting President Obama's welcome to UK Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife, Samantha. As part of the arrival ceremony, the White House hosted a Tweetup, a gathering of people who regularly connect via Twitter, to share our messages with the world. I manage the Consular Affairs Twitter account, @TravelGov, where I focus on travel and staying connected with U.S. citizens as they go abroad.
Our world is ever-changing, the Twitterverse is always moving at lightning speed, and the issues that matter to us as citizens are constantly evolving. But there are fundamental ideals shared by the United States and the United Kingdom based on guiding principles rooted in our collective history. Those ideals translate into extending peace, engaging in diplomacy, and even safeguarding travel. Together, we have this commitment to our citizens.
Today's arrival ceremony showcased the ongoing alliance between the United States and the United Kingdom. The relationship between the United State and the United Kingdom is an essential and important one; and the collaboration between the two nations on international diplomacy and security ensures that tangible benefits are realized in our global community.
This close partnership allows most U.S. passport holders to enter the United Kingdom with a valid passport -- no visa needed. Americans frequently visit the United Kingdom and similarly, UK citizens top the list of overseas resident visitors to the United States. Our nation's shared ideals guide our efforts in security matters, humanitarian assistance, and even in responding to terrorist threats -- issues that greatly affect Americans at home and abroad.
I was viewing the arrival ceremony through a consular lens, focused on keeping American citizens safe as they travel overseas. @TravelGov covered the event, and shared some travel tips about heading to the United Kingdom. For example, did you know that U.S. tourists in the United Kingdom aren't covered by the National Health Service? Always carry adequate medical insurance when you travel overseas!
If you're headed to the United Kingdom for the 2012 Olympics in London, or for any other reason, I encourage you to follow us on Twitter @TravelGov, enroll in the free Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), download the SMART Traveler iPhone app, and of course, plan early, plan safe, and stay connected, regardless of which side of the pond you're on.
If you missed the live arrival ceremony, you are still welcome to be a part of the conversation by searching Twitter for the hashtag #WHTweetup.

November 1, 2008 stadium rally is 'blitzkrieg moment' for organizer Lou Engle, who recruits young people for an extremist brand of "dominionist" Christianity
Who's Making "The Call?"
Tens of thousands of marriage equality opponents, including Religious Right leader James Dobson, are expected to attend "The Call," a November 1 rally at Qualcomm stadium. On a July 30 conference call among pastors mobilizing support for the proposition to strip marriage equality from the California constitution, Lou Engle enthusiastically described the event as a "blitzkrieg moment." The language of war is standard for Engle, who has built a ministry around recruiting young Christians into a radical religious movement that believes the church is meant to conquer and rule the world.
Engle, who moved his family to California temporarily to help lead the fight to pass Prop. 8, believes that the battle against marriage equality is a war against Satanic forces of darkness.
Among his other charms:
- he is an anti-abortion zealot who prays for God to "terrorize the judicial terrorists until they acknowledge you or fall from heaven."
- he believes California is dominated by a "Jezebel spirit" — represented on the state seal by the goddess Minerva — and that the Nov. 1 Call event could drive that demon out and "heal" San Francisco's gay population
- he believes Sarah Palin was sent by God to be a modern day Esther, and that George W. Bush — "the burning Bush" — is will go down in history as a great emancipator because in answer to prayer he named anti-choice justices to the Supreme Court
- he believes that the nation is at a "death moment" — doomed if the elections do not bring an end to marriage equality and to courts that permit legalized abortion
In pursuit of their shared goal of denying marriage equality to same-sex couples, Mormon, Evangelical Protestant, and Catholic conservatives have put their theological differences aside and focused on running a political campaign. "Our enemies are greater than our differences," in Engle's words. But parents who might be considering sending their teens to attend the Qualcomm stadium event on Saturday, November 1, should consider with whom they're getting involved.
Engle, introduced to many Americans for the first time leading shouted prayers for "righteous judges" in the documentary Jesus Camp, considers himself a modern-day John the Baptist — who heralded the coming of Christ — and so do many of his supporters. Engle views mass prayer and fasting as a spiritual weapon that will bring power from heaven to strike down wayward Supreme Court justices who have protected a woman's right to abortion, defeat the powers of darkness that he believes are holding California captive, and bring the church to its rightful place of power over the earth.
Hundreds of thousands of people have attended Engle's events in stadiums and on the national mall since 2000. "The Call" events and an affiliated training institute are part of a larger movement that has emerged within Pentecostal Christianity, but is considered heretical by some evangelical Christians.
Journalist Sarah Posner has just published a new piece on Engle and the Call on Religion Dispatches. Talk2Action has a series of articles on the theology and politics of the New Apostolic Reformation, the religious movement of which Engle is a part.
Just What is The Call?
Engle held his first "Call" on the national mall in Washington, D.C. in 2000, and hundreds of thousands of people have attended similar events held around the country — and one in Jerusalem — since then. Engle says he is trying to mobilize a "John the Baptist extreme generation" through the public events and through more intensive training available at The Call Institute. Here's how The Call describes its mission:
The Call Institute exists to equip, disciple and commission an emerging generation of radical Nazirites to prepare the way of the Lord by embracing a lifestyle of prayer and fasting that is energized by intimacy with Jesus.
In this historic hour of human history, God is raising up a new breed of young men and women who refuse the status quo of religion and seek to explore the depths of God. In past history, this holy breed was called the Nazirites. With lifestyles based in prayer with fasting, Nazirites frequently surfaced in the darkest hour of Israel's history. They emerged as voices who challenged the waywardness of Israel and awakened the nation back to the Lord.
The Nazirite lifestyle is not something reserved for the select few or the elite. It is a summons extended to anyone and everyone that will heed its invitation. The Nazirite call gives permission to the most "ordinary" among us to enter into the radical devotion of the forerunners (Luke 1:1517). Today, it serves as a call to be abandoned to the Lord and His purposes.
At events with young people, Engle urges them to abandon their video games and "chilling out" time to dedicate themselves wholly to this kind of devotion. He took the same tone at the Call on the national mall in August:
"I know it's hot, but thank God He's given us a breeze. We are not here for our convenience, but to move heaven. I did not come here to have a nice meeting while America is going to hell." [Washington Times]
Pastor Jim Garlow of San Diego's Skyline Church, one of the leaders of the Yes on Prop. 8 campaign, asked Engle to bring "The Call" to California to help pass the anti-marriage initiative. Engle, who says he was anointed by God to bring an end to abortion in America, has made ending legalized abortion the primary focus of his stadium prayer and fasting events, as well as vigils he has organized for years outside the U.S. Supreme Court. But recently Engle has spoken of abortion rights and marriage equality as two "false justice movements."
Engle and Prop. 8
In addition to the November 1 stadium rally, Engle is leading a 40-day fast leading up to Election Day. For Engle, the campaign to pass Prop. 8 is a stark battle against Satan and the spiritual forces of darkness that hold California captive to sexual immorality. He's not alone, of course. Religious Right leaders view the Nov. 4 vote on marriage equality as the Armageddon of the culture war. At the Call's California Grassroots Mobilization prayer luncheon fall, San Diego's Garlow said, "We're not in a war. We're in the war. You were born for such a time as this."
Introducing Engle on a September 24 conference call among Prop. 8 backers, Garlow said, "some people say he's weird. I say 'thank God, so was John the Baptist and he brought us Jesus.'" Garlow also urged pastors to embrace the 40-day fast being promoted by Engle. Engle believes mass prayer and fasting are the most powerful weapons that the church has for bringing God's "intercession" to earth.
At the launch of the "Facedown 40" fast leading to November 4, Engle prayed, "Call forth thousands now, those who have found their place in the Rock, and out of that place are committed to war in the spirit for a great awakening in California, our universities, among our children, and in the cultural power centers of our nation....God restrain homosexual marriage and send revival to California."
As unhappy as Engle is about the Supreme Court decision upholding marriage equality, Engle believes that marriage equality could be "the greatest gift to California" because it has stirred the church to action. "What was meant for evil, the Lord wants to turn it around for good," he said. "I believe the church has been wakened by this moment in California."
Engle tells about a prophetic dream had by "a young man in South Dakota" who saw a man weeping because he was imprisoned by homosexuality, and then "massive praying hands arose over the skyline of San Francisco." Engle has used televised appearances and online video to ask "the whole world" to pray on November 1 for divine intervention that would restrain the powers of darkness and unleash a new great awakening.
A commentary from Engle on the sixth day of the fast said, "My brothers and sisters, many of my friends are saying that The Call California will be the most significant Call we have ever done. It is not just about California — it is about the whole nation." More:
"As California goes, in many ways, so goes the nation. A major prayer leader from Egypt spoke to me and said that he had been weeping over California because he knew that if this law is not reversed by the vote of Californians on November 4, a spirit will spread across the world that will be stronger than Islam. It is a spirit of lawlessness, and that spirit will affect every nation."
I am appealing to you who have stood by The Call these years to drop everything to come to Qualcomm Stadium and join this mighty prayer battle that is going on....There are certain spiritual powers of darkness that will not be restrained unless we are willing to gather. God promises if we will do that. He will fight for us."
Engle's Theology: Dominion over Earth, the Defeat of Demons Controlling California
Engle is based in Kansas City, Missouri at the International House of Prayer. Engle is an elder — author Bruce Wilson calls him "a Prophet in one of the inner circles of leadership" — in the New Apostolic Reformation, also called the Third Wave, a controversial outgrowth of Pentecostalism that has been denounced by the Assemblies of God denomination even though many individual churches are influenced by its theology. Talk2Action.org has published a series of articles about the movement and its influence on churches attended by Sarah Palin.
The core of Engle's theology is Dominion — the imperative for the church, led by modern-day apostles, to rule over government and other institutions. As Talk2Action's Bruce Wilson told a buzzflash interviewer, "Third Wavers on the other hand, believe that God is anointing them with special powers in order for them to battle the ungodly themselves, and that Jesus can't actually return until they have finished conquering the world.
This is clearly reflected in a Engle's teaching guide, "The Keys to Dominion," which is sold on his website. You can get a good flavor for the nearly hour-long recording by listening to the first minute and a half. The themes are consistent throughout:
"The church's vocation is to rule history with God...The same authority that has been given to Christ Jesus for overwhelming conquering and dominion has been given to the saints of the most high....We're God's rulers upon the earth...We will govern over kings and judges will have to submit...We're called to rule! To change history! To be co-regents with God!"
The divine mandate to conquer means no toleration for sexual immorality, support for evil (abortion or marriage equality), "fellowship" with iniquitous politicians or governments legalize evil, or people within or outside the church who might disagree. At a Passion for Jesus conference organized by the International House of Prayer, where Engle's ministry is based, Engle spoke of civil war within the church. The Call's website echoes the theme: "This is a time to resist mightily the spirit of peaceful coexistence and apathetic resignation in the face of this prevailing darkness."
In short, Engle and the religious movement he helps lead believe that a select group are called by God to rule the earth, that "the posture of the church needs to be aggressive." [Dominion audio]
The Southern Poverty Law Center recently profiled "Joel's Army," an especially militant strain of the New Apostolic Reformation that Engle is linked to. The leader of Joel's Army stirred controversy recently by kicking a patient with advanced colon cancer in the stomach at a "healing" service. SPLC quotes Engle:
"I believe we're headed to an Elijah/Jezebel showdown on the Earth, not just in America but all over the globe, and the main warriors will be the prophets of Baal versus the prophets of God, and there will be no middle ground," said Engle. He was referring to the Baal of the Old Testament, a pagan idol whose followers were slaughtered under orders from the prophet Elijah.
There's an Elijah generation that's going to be the forerunners for the coming of Jesus, a generation marked not by their niceness but by the intensity of their passion," Engle continued. "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Such force demands an equal response, and Jesus is going to make war on everything that hinders love, with his eyes blazing fire.
The Elijah/Jezebel analogy is one of Engle's favorites. Here's his take on the story:
Elijah, at the height of Jezebel's cultic dominion over Israel fasted 40 days, broke the spell of Jezebel off of his own life and received a mandate to anoint the next generation. Elijah's fast unleashed a movement that toppled Jezebel's regime of hell, which perpetrated the destruction of family, the killing of innocent children, the silencing of the voice of God's people and the widespread culture of sexual immorality. The fruit of this fast culminated in the utter destruction of Baal worship in Israel.
Mass Prayer and Fasting Brings God's Intercession Against Political Enemies
Engle's 40-day "Facedown Fast" and "The Call" stadium events are grounded in a theology that mass prayer and fasting open a door to God's intercession in the world. Engle says fasting is "the most powerful weapon and arsenal of the Christian church....Remember Jesus said that some demons wouldn't come out except by prayer and fasting."
In organizing for his 2007 fast, Engle wrote that America cannot survive another 40 years: "Unless a massive spiritual shift occurs at this moment, our children will live under an antichrist system and Godless enculturation that will bring about the demise of America as we know it."
Engle believes that two "Call" events in California in 2003 led to the recall of Gov. Gray Davis. Even more dramatically, Engle attributes the downfall of communism to the prayer-and-fasting inspired death of Politburo members in the Soviet Union — "God's killing fields" — and he prays for God to make life miserable (or worse) for Supreme Court justices who uphold a constitutional right to abortion.
California's Demons and the Defeat of Jezebel / Minerva
Engle believes in geographical demons and calls for "taking conquest of cities that are resisting the gospel due to the presence of territorial demons and generational curses."
In California's case, Engel points to the image of Minerva on the California state seal, and cannot talk about the Prop. 8 initiative without talking about Jezebel. In a commentary posted on the eighth day of his current fast, he refers to a realization in 1999 that the Roman goddess Minerva is on the state seal of California.
"This goddess, this Roman counterpart to the Greek Athena, was the goddess of war (who especially targeted men); protector of the city; and goddess of the arts, the universities and commerce. Could this be the controlling spirit of California, influencing our institutions of Hollywood (arts), our universities (wisdom), and the Silicon Valley (wealth)?"
He describes a fast he undertook in 2002 in preparation for two "Call" events in California:
"I knew Jesus was inviting me to take part in his own fast for apostolic breakthrough. Every day in that fast I prayed, 'God cleanse me from any inward toleration of Jezebel and declared the victory of the cross over the spirit of Jezebel in California.' In Revelation 2, Jesus declares, "I have this against you, you tolerate that woman Jezebel who teaches and seduces my bondservants into sexual morality."
He claims that a dream revealed that God has given him authority: "because Lou has been faithful, I have given him authority over the spirit of Jezebel...the church has the final word....we don't play for a losing team, we are with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords."
Engle and the 2008 Elections: Obama Evil, Palin a Modern-Day 'Esther' Sent by God
Engle's top priority — for which he believes he has personally been given a divine mandate — is the ending of abortion in America. He is passionately opposed to the election of Barack Obama.
His video commentary on Day 30 of his current fast is all about abortion and the current elections:
Abortion literally fuels the demonic powers over a nation, particularly when it's legalized and government sanctioned.....nations begin to come to a place when God will not pardon them...America is at a place like that... the nation is being given a choice, life or death....two candidates... when I vote for those who support the shedding of innocent blood, I'm personally accountable before God...I believe America is at a death moment..."
Engle made the same point at a press conference in Washington D.C. this August the day before his day-long Call on the National Mall, denouncing Obama's record on abortion in graphic terms and warning young evangelicals if they compromised on abortion, history would stand in judgment of them the way it stands in judgment on churches' silence on slavery.
McCain and Palin
Earlier this year, Engle suggested that Huckabee had God's backing and complained that he was under spiritual attack. Engle said that he did not trust John McCain [RWW April 11] and could never vote for him because he was not sufficiently pro-life given his support for stem-cell research. He said that voting for a candidate who supports the shedding of innocent blood is having fellowship with a "throne of iniquity." At the August press conference in Washington, Engle and Bishop Harry Jackson threatened that McCain would be committing political suicide if he chose a pro-choice running mate.
For Engle, McCain's selection of Sarah Palin changed everything:"When Senator John McCain courageously chose Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate, he drove family values back into the conscience of America... This election is a battle for family values and to the victor goes the soul of the nation."
"Governor Palin is more than just a brilliant choice for Vice President. She and her family stand as a sign and a wonder for life and for children. They are a living parable parading in blazing Technicolor before the eyes of the whole nation. This goes way beyond elections. This is about us healing our families, regaining moral responsibility, and exhibiting forgiveness."
"The ideological beast of Obama's worldview has been drawn out of its lair and now stands naked and exposed by Palin's compassion and conviction... The rage of the media against Palin simply further exposes the moral bankruptcy, bigotry, and lack of compassion of liberalism. The media, Obama's court prophets, have become Selma's new sheriffs of the South beating the new heirs of the civil rights movement — the millions of unborn children attacked in the womb and countless women hurt by abortion — with their Billy Clubs and loud hectoring.
"With his choice of Governor Palin as his running mate, John McCain has once again gone to war. However, this time, not in the distant lands of Vietnam and Iraq, but he has gone to war for America, for our families, and for our children. And this war, we cannot afford to lose."
Engle is convinced that Sarah Palin was sent by God to enact an "Esther" moment. In Jewish scripture, Esther risks her own life to save the Jewish people from a death decree by a corrupt advisor to the King of Persia by revealing to the King who loves her that she herself is Jewish. Engle sees Palin as sent to put an end to abortion, and save the nation from God's wrath. Before the vice presidential debate, Engle asked for prayers "for God's supernatural hand to attend this profound Esther moment."
George Bush
Engle calls George W. Bush — who he refers to as "the Burning Bush" — "one of the greatest emancipators in history" because he nominated Supreme Court justices who are beginning to roll back a women's right to abortion. He cites Bush's elections and judicial nominations as evidence that "prayer and fasting shapes history and moves government."

Normal Rpg rules.
The battle takes place on...an Island.
Normal Rpg rules.
The battle takes place on...an Island.
Celestrion, floating on the wind looks upon the ground as she gazes upon an Island. When celestrion arrives she automatically senses danger as her z'rec'ta appears.
Celestrion then senses a man in the far left of her behing the trees. She says"In the name of the great preist of Therea, Reveal yourself!" Celestrion sends a cosmic blast at the figure while he stands there.
The cosmic blast that has been shot at Gannon was dodged as Gannon rolled to the left,his hand glowed with a sapphire light,as he lept into the air and sent a kick to the ribs of Celestrion.He made another attempt for attack by preparing a haymaker for her face.
Post Deleted.
Sensing the force of the impact area, grabed the foot Gannon planed to kick her with as she uses her left leg too trip him up while the z'rec'ta appeared in his face. Smacking Gannon in the face with the staff the smallest smack caused him to fly in the water. Chasing after him Celestrion splits the sea in half showing gannon's position.
Gannon flew into the water as he was hit by the powerful staff that the cosmic godesses weilded,as the sea split in two Gannon did a hand stand on the water,then used his Hydrokinesis to launch into the air straigh for Celestrion,with another side kick followed by a 360 punch.
celestrion guarded as she raised an magma wall to protect her
(tip):strategy is the key for earning high order position you have to defeat a god/eternal with whatever you have.
Celestrion summons wind as it attempts to blow you off course.
Gannon was blown off course and flew into a palm tree,he took off as soon he recovered from the strong winds,he ran threw the jungles of the island to avoid being found by Celestrion.
She'll never catch me
Gannon dived into the water and waited for Celestrion to show.
Celestrion arose from defense as she levitated in the sky and began to use cosmic awareness.
Her power began to detect where gannon was as she teleports in the ocean and says"boo!"
Hoping to startle him she starts to wonder what next.
Gannon wasnt scared by the feeble attempt to scare him,her defenses were down and he fired a a jet a water that would damage even a God.Suddenly a Kraken came from the depths and surrounded Celestrion with its mant tentacles,planning to squeeze.
Gannon was summnoning all kinds of sea creatures to help in battle.
(I use official marvel spells)
(we will have to end this shortly and I'm afraid I can't let you win"bad image on the team")
Celestrion absorbs the impact of the water as she feel tentacles wrapping around her from the spells of vishanti she cries
"In the name of the dream that grew --
in the name of the dream that died --
cast this creature from the dark sea depths --
down again, and from our side!" - Book of Vishanti
the Krakken falls back into the water as celestrion claps her hands and a bright light brings us to suprimity
Good job.
Later I will grant you your wished position.
Thanks Celestrion.
Gannon leaps out of the water,and waits for Celestrion to emerge to congratulate her on her battle.
Celestrion makes a grand entrance as the water levitates around her in her white glory
any questions?
"Yeah,i got a few.How about you teach me some of those spells?I got the noves down,but the words arent right"
Gannon smiled and looked at Celestrion.
Gannon Nereid says:
""Yeah,i got a few.How about you teach me some of those spells?I got the noves down,but the words arent right" Gannon smiled and looked at Celestrion."In time my dear...I shall show you all of them. But for now patience. what other answers do you need?(talk in the ooc)

Spring 2000
Volume 4 Number 4
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
At its winter meeting, the Board of Trustees began a process that will eventuate in "The Plan for the Bicentennial (201213)." Just over a decade from now the Seminary will celebrate 200 years of service to Jesus Christ and his church. The full story of these two centuries of institutional ministry and mission is known only to God and therefore cannot be told by historians. But vignettes that make up the story are reported in these pages that give us a picture.
It is the story of faculty like Clifton Black, Scott Hendrix, and Stacy Johnson who pour their professional lives into the training of the future ministers and doctors of the church.
It is the story of ecumenical mission as attested by our current John A. Mackay Professor of World Christianity, Dr. Luis Rivera-Pagán, who connects us with our Latin American heritage.
It is the story of international graduates like Setri Nyomi and Pash Obeng of Ghana who go forth to serve Christ in the special ways attested in this issue of inSpire.
What a privilege it is to be a part of this story as the Seminary approaches its bicentennial year. The good news is that the Lord God still blesses this institution in marvelous ways that evidence his infinite grace.
With every good wish, I remain
Faithfully yours,
© Copyright 2000 Princeton Theological Seminary

"Liking isn't helping" is the headline in the Gold Lion winning Singaporian ad campaign for crisisrelief.org. It sums up in one simple image showing people thumbing up around a baby with an amputated leg. Ouch.
Meanwhile, in Sweden - Unicef came out with this ad Unicef - Likes don't save lives . I'm sure we can all agree this is the same base idea, told in a different way.
BUT HOLD UP - also, in Puerto Rico we have Boy in Puerto Rico Gets Killed Over a Blocked Shot and like to prevent this girl from dropping out of school due to bullying... another execution on the same base idea, this time they also use youtube's built-in clickable features to really hammer the point home. No, liking the clip won't stop that gun from killing someone.
Here's the kicker - all three of these campaigns competed in the Cannes Lions this year.
No, I don't think any one of the creative teams knew about the prior ideas, don't be silly. We're all tired of slacktivists, this idea was just ripe for the picking and executed in three very different ways.
The ironic thing is that these are groups that still want likes on their pages.
Yeah... Well speck ads for Cannes don't really help either. How 'bout awarding something that actually makes it easier for people to donate money or volunteer. Or to something that helps solve these problems instead of just coming up with a "clever" visual pun.
It's spec ad. Or ghost ad if you will. Speck is whale fat. Or a ham. :)
Though you might know something that we don't. It's a bit odd that the Crisisrelief ad only appeared on advertising archiving sites after it won a Cannes lion. Isn't it?
The two others were posted here when they aired.
Cannes doesn't award for effectiveness, well they do now, but it's primarily a category and craft award. If it's the best press ad for a non-profit, it just is.

When I did the math to figure out what I would need, I concluded that your dough recipe used around 19 percent oil. That was considerably higher than any deep-dish dough recipe I could ever recall, and figured that I had made a math error in arriving at the 19 percent figure. I could recall 8 or 9 percent for deep dish, but not 19 percent .
Good to hear from ya scott, I thought you had abandoned us.


text: Oʻahu chewstick Rhamnaceae Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands (Oʻahu, West Maui, Hawaiʻi Island) Endangered Oʻahu (Cultivated) Though no known use by the early Hawaiians or in modern times, other species outside of the Hawaiian Islands have the fitting name "chew-stick" (chewstick). The Urban chewstick, or white root (Gouania lupuloides), is used widely by local people from Florida, the Caribbean, Mexico, and into Central and South America as a tooth cleaner. A stick about the thickness of the small finger, with bark removed, is chewed thus strengthening the gums. The stick produces a slightly bitter, yet aromatic, soap-like froth (saponins) when chewed. The softened stick is then used by rubbing the teeth much like a toothbrush. In times past, dried and powdered forms were exported to Europe and the United States. Jamaicans still use chewstick for medicine and in a mouthwash called "Chew-Dent." They also use it in making ginger beer, a stronger tasting ginger ale. Chewstick is also used in brewing beer as a hops substitute and is perhaps why some Jamaican beers have a distinctive taste. nativeplants.hawaii.edu/plant/view/Gouania_vitifolia

Ammonite fossil
From: National Museum Cardiff
This ammonite, Sphenodiscus lenticularis, lived about 70 million years ago, just before ammonites, together with the dinosaurs, became extinct. When this one was preserved, the shell was naturally replaced by beautiful minerals, giving an iridescent sheen. Its shape shows that it was a fast swimmer.
This image forms part of the monthly 'Curators Choice' series from Rhagor, the collections based website from Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales.

Convicted killer gets 25 years in robbery case
FONDA – A man found guilty Friday of two murders was sentenced to 25 years in prison Tuesday for a 2011 robbery.
Ivan Ramos, 30, of 51 Milton Ave., was convicted of two counts first-degree robbery and two counts of first-degree burglary in connection with a Nov. 29, 2011, robbery at a Guy Park Avenue apartment.
According to the office of District Attorney James "Jed" Conboy, Ramos was sentenced to 25 years in state prison and five years of post-release supervision.
Amsterdam police said in 2011 that Ramos and another man entered the residence through a back door and were armed with a shotgun. They took an X-box 360 game console, a wireless Internet router and money before fleeing through the back of the residence, officials said.
One resident was injured when he fled the apartment through a window.
Ramos was found guilty Friday in the March murders of William McDermott, 56, and Cheryl Goss, 46, who were found stabbed to death in McDermott's Locust Avenue apartment.
A jury found Ramos guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
His sentencing for the murders is scheduled for March 20.
Ramos also had been found guilty in another robbery in which he and an accomplice broke into a home and pistol-whipped the occupants before stealing a laptop.
That incident occurred Oct. 28, 2011. At approximately 5:40 a.m. that day, a male and a female victim reported two people forcefully entered their apartment. One of the suspects pistol-whipped the male victim, according to the police report. That case is still pending.
Ramos also is serving a three-year prison sentence for stealing construction equipment last February.

DKM's mother was kind enough through DKM to share the recipe she uses. After reading up on making Tortillias I quickly came to the conclusion that it is just as complex of a task as making pizza crust. DKM is blessed with a Mother that can make them the way they should be made. I hope someday to put the same effort into them as I have had into pizza and with DKM's help I hope to make at least a passable one.Randy
