Top senior 3-year-old also was best udder of the show. Reserve Grand took home bred and owned honors.
by Corey Geiger, Hoard's Dairyman Assistant Managing Editor
Winning the All American Jersey Show at the North American International Livestock Show was Cascadia Iatola Puzzle owned by Gene Iager who lives in Maryland. Puzzle also won the show's best udder award. Puzzle was the Intermediate Champion and winning senior 3-year-old. Taking the Reserve Grand Champion award was WF Attaboy Tiffany owned by Waverly Farms, Zachary Stiles of Clear Brook, Va. Tiffany won the 5-year-old class and she was the show's Champion bred and owned. Those two cows are shown in the photo closest to the front and third from front.
Winning Reserve Senior Champion honors was Hawarden Pixar Star, owned by Keightley and Core, Nabholz and Woods. That cow was the second-place 5-year-old. Taking the Reserve Intermediate Champion title was Ratliff Minister Porscha-ET, bred and owned by Christy and Ron Ratliff.
In the heifer show, Junior Champion honors went to Highland-H Minister Sea, the winning summer yearling exhibited by Dale Hindman, Brockway, Pa. Meanwhile, Reserve Junior Champion was DKG Motion Nancy, the winning Junior Yearling exhibited by Donna Greiwe of Sidney, Ohio
On Sunday, KCJF Tracer Ritzy, Brady Core, Salvisa, Ky., won the 59th Jersey Jug. On Monday, she was named Honorable Mention Intermediate Champion. The Max Gordon Recognition Award went to Norman Nabholz, West Union, Iowa. The 2012 National Queen for the upcoming year is Jessica Smith, Picayune, Miss. The 60th All American Jersey Sale averaged $7,086 on 53 lots. It was the second highest average in the history of the sale.
The American Jersey Cattle Association reported there were 392 head checked in for the Jersey show at the North American International Livestock Show. In contrast, there were 353 head that made their way through the ring at World Dairy Expo's Jersey show.

HealthWatch: The Hidden Scars of Cancer
WILMINGTON, Del. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Just like a soldier returning from battle may experience post-traumatic stress, so too can the loved ones of cancer patients. The life-threatening diagnosis can leave families living in intense fear, overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness, and avoiding people or places that trigger bad memories.
When 12-year-old Sammy Bradly began falling asleep at baseball practice, he knew something was wrong.
"I just wasn't feeling the same. I didn't feel like me," Sammy told Ivanhoe.
He was diagnosed with AML leukemia.
"Honestly I pretty much fell to my knees and blacked out," Annie Bradly, Sammy's mom, told Ivanhoe.
He endured six months of chemo.
Sammy said, "I met a lot of people in the hospital and I was the only one to walk away alive," including losing his best friend Noxah to cancer.
"He was the only person I knew that would understand how I felt," Sammy said.
Four years now in remission, the experience has not been forgotten.
"I know that these guys don't know, but there are days where I just start crying for no reason at all," Annie explained.
Intense fear still plagues Sammy's mom.
"What do I do? We're okay, but are we okay?" Annie said.
Dr. Anne Kazak says these traumatic stress symptoms are more common in parents than people know.
"It might be bad dreams or nightmares. It might also just be that you're walking down the street and all of the sudden you are back in that moment," Anne Kazak, PhD, ABPP, Pediatric Psychologist, Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, told Ivanhoe.
One study of 171 mothers and fathers of cancer patients found all but one had post-traumatic stress, closely related to PTSD; something Dr. Kazak says affects about one in three parents.
She says her best advice is to focus on what you can control.
"It's almost never helpful to worry too much in advance," Dr. Kazak said.
Also, Dr. Kazak recommends finding support.
"Reflect on the fact that you are in a war against cancer," Dr. Kazak explained.
It is a fight Sammy's family accepts.
"It's just a huge part of who I am today," Sammy said.
There are things that parents can do to help with traumatic stress symptoms. Relaxation techniques such as visualization, deep breathing, yoga, and meditation may be helpful. Both healthcare professionals and parents looking for information about medical trauma can log onto www.healthcaretoolbox.org.

I was thinking rambo as well as i put it in my edit. but I thought he would be gone by where we select in the 2nd so i didn't even bother. you are the one that's got me buzzing on rambo your love for him is well deserved from what i saw. and as far as milliner i know he wil not leave the top 15 but i was saying if we had a chance at CB's/S in the first these are the guys i would want in that order.
Edit: Also while i agree there might be zero chance of us having a shot at milliner, it was the same thing we said about prince. so anything can be possible. There is always a knee jerking pull on QB's and right now I have a couple of teams that might do that in the first KC/Titans/Jaguars/(surprisingly) Bills might be in ths bucket as well/Raiders might want to rebuild/Cardinals/ Wont be surprised if the Jets are in the market as well depending on whos on the table at their pick, that circus is always good for a shocker. So at the most that pushes some guys out of their potential landing spots. I think 4 QBs at the most don't leave the first, possible 5.

The shortest path between any two points on a snooker table is the straight line between them but what if the ball must bounce off one wall, or 2 walls, or 3 walls?
We now incorporate the effect of the environment on the Lotka-Volterra equations derived earlier. Consider a population of giraffes of size x and a population of hyenas of size y.
Using the logistic equation from before, we can model the effect of the carrying capacity with the equations: $$ \begin{align*} \frac {\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}t}&=r_1 \frac{K_1-x}{K_1} x= r_1 x\left(1-\frac{x}{K_1}\right) \\ \frac {\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}t}&=r_2 \frac{K_2-y}{K} = r_2y\left(1-\frac{y}{K_2}\right) \end{align*}$$
An increase in either population of species will reduce the resources available to both. In order to model this, we introduce a competition coefficient to represent the competitive effect of one species on the other.
Let $\alpha$ be the competitive effect of the hyenas on the giraffes, and $\beta$ be the competitive effect of the giraffes on the hyenas. We then consider the terms $\frac{K_1-x-\alpha y}{K_1}$ and $\frac{K_2-y-\beta x}{K_2}$ .
Question: Can you explain the logic behind these terms? Think what would happen if either the giraffe or hyena population died out.
Our population equations then become: $$\begin{align*} \frac {\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}t}&=r_1 x \Bigg(1- \frac{x+\alpha y}{K_1}\Bigg) \\ \frac {\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}t}&=r_2 y \Bigg(1- \frac{y+\beta x}{K_2}\Bigg) \end{align*}$$
Question: Suppose (quite grandly) that two populations of giraffes and hyenas have population equations $\frac {\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}t}=2x\bigg(1-\frac{x+2y}{5}\bigg)$ and $\frac {\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}t}=y\bigg(1-\frac{y+x}{3}\bigg)$ .
What are the equilibrium points?
Look at the phase diagram below. What is happening to the populations of both animals? What do you think the red point means?
Question: If you were to create your own model, what other parameters would you consider when creating differential equations to describe the population sizes? Perhaps think about other predators and seasonal variation of the carrying capacity.

In November 1996, a 22-year-old single Paradise mother pulled into an auto detail and used car lot that is now the location of Coffee's On.
Karlee Jones was 22 when she met 31-year-old Rick Jones at the lot, when she decided to pull in and check out an older Firebird car that was parked there. She said she agreed to go to lunch with Rick that day as a way of getting another guy at the lot to leave her alone.
"This (other guy) was just all over me, trying to get my phone number," she said. "I had gotten in my car, and that guy was in my window, saying, 'Why don't you give me your number?' Rick finally walks up and opens my passenger door and says, 'You want to go get something to eat?'"
She and Rick didn't know each other very well prior to that day, but she took him up on his offer and they went to Burger King, which was one of Rick's favorite places to eat.
"When we were at Burger King this girl shows up and she squeezes in next to him," she said. "She chatted with him for a little and walked out. I never knew, but he had called her and said 'Oh come check this girl out and tell me what you think.'"
Sunday is National Spouse Day, and in honor of the holiday, the Joneses reflected on their relationship and marriage on Friday morning, in the comfort of their living room.
The couple eventually was married on Aug. 1, 1998 at Craig Memorial Congregational Church. Karlee had been married before and was the mother of two boys, Elijah, who was 6 at the time, and Jacob who was 4.
"What was cool for Rick was he had been told that he couldn't have kids, so he kind of liked that package," Karlee said.
Rick adopted Elijah and Jacob in 2003, after Karlee gave birth to a third, unexpected son whom they named Ricky.
Rick had been told that there was a 99.9 percent chance of his never being able to parent his own child.
"I said, 'Well we will make it final and I will adopt the boys,'" Rick said. "No more had that happened, and Karlee turned up pregnant with Ricky."
Throughout their marriage the Joneses have tried to keep things simple, spending time together by going for drives, participating in BMX bike racing with their kids and going to the occasional movie.
They said they have fought just like any married couple and they have been in and out of marriage counseling, but their marriage has stayed strong.
"Don't ever say you want a divorce, just don't say it," Rick said. "You may feel that way, but don't blatantly throw it out there, because you will regret it."
Karlee said that giving any marital fights time to dissolve is vital for keeping a marriage alive.
"A lot of the times things are bigger today than they will be tomorrow," she said.
Karlee and Rick's son Elijah has recently become engaged to Holly Dimock, who he has been dating since high school. They said that how to resolve conflict in a relationship is one of the best things they taught their son to prepare him for marriage.
"Just be honest with each other, when you are mad or upset you have to talk it out and get it out there," Rick said. "You can't hold it in, because it will fester and then you are really, really upset."
Karlee and Rick have also taught their kids how forgive after a fight through example, noting that they have always felt it was healthy to fight, talk about the problem and then forgive each other in front of their children.
"My hope is that they see that process and know that, yes, you are going to disagree, things could get a little heated, but you can work things out and you move on," Karlee said.

I find it hard to believe that this place is so boring that you're actually hoping it will be hacked and compromised security wise.
I never said I hoped it would be hacked.
To be fair, it is pretty dull around here. I'm half tempted to start some big argument in the blogs just so people will post.
But yeah, this hacker guy is kind of meh. I mean, if BZP was run by AWFUL staff, then fair enough, but they're all mostly okay these days so I don't even get why he has a vendetta.
Seems like a typical case of a guy thinking he's Bane by hacking sites and being all dramatic about it, with all his 'If you want the database back you only have to ask, BOW TO ME, I WILL SHOW THE PEOPLE WHAT THEIR GOVERNMENT ARE REALLY LIKE AS THEY BEG FOR MERCY'. But Bane's awesome, whereas this guy is some nerd with too much time on his hands, and probably has quite an unfulfilling life in the real world. Should probably get a job or something.
Also this is hardly hacking Google or Sony or anything. It's not even impressive, just inconvenient that I can't blog when I want to.
When Anon took down the PSN it wasn't so much impressive as it was showing up to this grand and mighty castle prepared to use all manner of methods to bust in, only to find the doors were made of cardboard. Possibly wet cardboard.
I honestly think it's just some dude doing stuff because he can, not because he wants to be all dramatic or such.
You mean to say that some men just want to watch the world burn?
Nice Dark Knight reference, but less Joker-style anarchism and just "meh I'm bored" style anarchism.
So some men want to watch something and don't have Netflix, so the world burning is the next-best option.
The following blog contains excessive rambling on the world and extremely poor paragraphing. If you are easily offended or turned off by these two things, leaving now would be a good idea.
This blog is written by Alex Humva, penname of some random teenager named Alex Censored. He writes stories, writes rants, writes screenplays, plays games, makes games, has a terrible work ethic, and is generally sarcastic. He believes in a Judao-Christian god, but most other people who do too give him a glare because of his weird beliefs, possibly because he's somehow bi at the same time. He's an utter equalist who feels that any discrimination amongst humans for things they were born with is wrong. He doesn't care about xenos though, let them all burn.
He's also an aspiring engineer who hopes to get a scholarship at his local big engineering college and one day help humanity. More likely he'll be a pencil pusher in a basement somewhere, but he's a bloody minded optimist.
Because of his peculiar personality and beliefs, he gets into fights often, though they usually end when he wakes up the next morning and doesn't feel motivated anymore.

Former Indochinese capital.
Pakse is close to the Khmer ruins of Wat Phu and the Bolaven Plateau of coffee-growing region and its Edenic waterfalls.
Champasak :
This serene riverside town drips with charm thank to its silkscreen-like mountain fringed by emerald rice paddies and the easy manner of its locals. Among faded colonial villas there's a spinkling of hgh-end style with a boutique hotel and a couple of upscale restaurants, but the real highpoint is the picturesque ruins of Wat Phu Champasak.
Wat Phu Champasak : Overlooking the Mekong valley, Wat Phu Champasak, while not in the same league as Angkor Wat, is one of the most impressive archeological sites in Laos and well worth visiting.I's divided into lower and upper parts, joined by a steep, flower-bordered stone stairway.
The lower part consist of two ruined palace buildings at the edge of a large square pond, itself split intot two by a causeway, used for ritual ablutions.The upper section is the temple sanctuary itself, which once enclosed a large Shiva phallus. Some time later the sanctuary was converted into a Buddhist temple, but original Hindu sculptures remain in the lintels.
Day 62 December 2, Sunday: Getting to Champasak
bought a boat-bus ticket from Don Det Bungalows the previous day to
leave by boat at 11am today. We went to the bungalows early and they
took us across the river to the dock we arrived at from Cambodia. We
waited there for over an hour until the bus for Champasak left. The
bus was going to Pakse, a city just north of Champasak, but it would
drop us off at a boat dock along the way.
were a few people that got off the bus with us and we took a boat to
cross the river to what we thought was Champasak. We could smell a
scam coming, but once we got off the boat it was too late. The boat
took us across the river to a small village a few kilometers north of
this small village, and then continue down the river to Champasak
itself. They told everyone to get off the boat where we were
introduced to a local who has a tuk-tuk that would take us to
Champasak for $1.25. However, if we stayed at his guesthouse he
wouldn't charge us for the tuk-tuk ride. We stayed at his place
because it wasn't that expensive, but once again we fell right into a
local scam. They didn't actually take us to Champasak (they said that
they did) and once we get off we are stranded away from town and our
only option was to either take the tuk-tuk or walk the distance to
guesthouse did have internet, so that was a good thing, but the fan
in our room was really slow.
After we got our room we walked around the town (which consists of
one road) and ate a late lunch at their riverside restaurant.
It was around this time that we
realized that we were short on money. Laos was much more expensive
than we thought (transportation, hotels) and we didn't have enough
cash. However, there was a bank in town, which we already knew about
before arriving there. What we didn't know was that the bank was
closed Saturday and Sunday (we arrived on a Sunday) so we were out of
luck if we wanted to withdraw today. So, we had to wait until
tomorrow (Monday) when we were told the bank would reopen. The bank
also does not use Union Pay (Bank of China), and only uses Visa, so we
would have to use one of our Visa cards.
Day 63 December 3, Monday: bicycle, Wat Phu
rented bicycles this morning to go to Wat Phu. We left around 7am and
it took us just over 40min to bike to the temple. We bought our
tickets to the temple right at the opening time (8am). The museum
near the ticket office wasn't open yet so we continued up the hill
toward the temple.
Phu is an ancient Khmer (the people who built Angkor) religious
complex. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
Sanskrit and Chinese sources confirm that this has been a place of
worship since the mid 5th century. What is seen today is
the product of centuries of building, rebuilding, alteration, and
addition, with the most recent structures dating from the late
Angkorian period. At its height, the temple and nearby city formed
the most important economic and political center in the region.
there is extensive preservation work underway at Wat Phu, it has
suffered a lot of damage over time. Compared to the sites at Angkor,
Wat Phu was not as spectacular. However, like many of the Angkor
temples one of the most interesting things about the site were the
other-worldy trees. In addition to the trees the hillside setting were
the best things about Wat Phu.
veery underwhelming for people who had already been to Angkor. Also,
Wat Phu was listed in our guidebook as a highlight of visiting Laos,
which made as worried about the other sites that they listed as
Wat Phu we tried to go to the bank, but they were closed. We biked
back to our hotel and they told us that today was a � water
festival � and thats why the bank was closed today. They said
it would be open tomorrow (Tuesday), but we weren't sure if we could
trust them because they told us the bank would be open today.
of this created a problem. We wanted to go to Pakse, but the last bus
(we were told) that went to Pakse left at 7:30am. We also needed to
withdraw money from the bank to pay our hotel, but the bank (we were
told) opened at any of the following times: 8:30am (according to the
sign outside the bank), or 8:20 (according to the owner of the
hotel). We told the owner of the hotel our problem and suddenly there
was no problem because there were � many � buses going to
didn't know what to think other than we had to go to the bank as soon
as it opened, withdraw money, pay our hotel and then see what we
could do.

Az ingatlan értékelései
Muy buen departamento, a muy pocos metros de la torre eiffel, y del metro. Confortable y con todos los elementos necesarios.
La entrega de la llave no resulto facil, ya que el encargado de entregarla no sabia bien cual era la que debia entregar. Por suerte la amabilidad del mismo nos permitio solucionar el problema.
Al llegar al edificio, surgio el segundo problema, no habìa indicacion de que departamento se trataba (piso y numero de departamento).
En sintesis, un muy buen departamemto con un trato muy impersonal y deficiente por parte de los anfitriones.
Por pretender retirarnos a las 12:00 am en vez de a las 10:00 pretendieron cobrarnos 50 euros extras.
Extrañamos el buen trato que habìamos recibido en España, Italia e Inglaterra.
Lo bueno del departamento se ve desmerecido con el trato.
A házigazda egyéb ingatlanjainak értékelései
Very well situated apartment for 4 to 5. Would happily stay there again on my next trip!
Nice appartment in the city center! Everything is close, a supermarket, ... You can go everywhere on foot because it is right in the center. We had a good stay here.
Everything worked perfect.
It was easy to pick up the keys, and we were very satisfied with the appartement.
It was well ecuiped with all what we needed.
It was very closed to everything, the baker, shops with food and cafe's.
We can highly recommend this appartement.
Everything in the apartment worked perfectly, it is exactly as it is in the pictures. Very close to many great places to eat, the metro/RER, grocery stores, shops, and most major attractions are walking distance
The only complaint is also a plus. The apartment is right in the middle of everything, but it can be noisy later at night (especially weekend) and mid morning with tour groups going by. It did not bother me, but I could see how a light sleeper might have a problem with it.
Marvelous apartment, the landlady Diane is extremely pleasant and efficient. Everything worked smoothly.
Highly recommended
The flat was pleasantly decorated and clean. Good location, just by Notre Dame and Boulevard St Michel, and this is a very good asset of course. Unfortunately a very noisy musical bar underneath in the street played loud music until the early hours in the morning. Three of the rings in the cooker did not work from the very beginning of our stay, and the handbook instructions about this particular appliance were not too precise, so we had to work out how to operate the only working ring, it took a while. We indicated this to the agency, but the cooker was not repaired during our stay. The coffee machine did not work from the very beginning of our stay, but it was replaced a couple of days after we arrived. The area is full of restaurants of all types and prices. For us a good point was bookshops nearby, and walking distance from the Centre Pompidou library. The flat was well furnished with plates and pots. The shower cubicle is rather comfortable in size, and the main bed is big and provided with a comfortable mattress. The heating system was efficient. There is a big television set. Wifi internet worked only sporadically for the first half of our stay, but it was fine in the last few days. All in all, we had a pleasant stay despite the problems indicated here.
recommendable !
nice apartment, with an excellent location. It was fully equipment and an adorable furnitures. No noisy, even been in the latin district, but no views and weak wifi. To summ up, we recommend the apartment.

Snowcake 70g star
A Lush holiday favorite
Our classic holiday soap is back once again; how could we live through winter without it?! This creamy softy is made with soothing rose and benzoin resinoid (known for its sweet vanilla ice-cream scent) making it wonderfully soothing on dry winter skin. Its marzipan scent is just what you need during the season of sweet indulgences - it smells good enough to eat! But don't because it's still soap afterall.

text: I am a first year beekeeper. I do not know anyone else with TBH in my area, so I am doing my best to get ready from books and the internet. I will be getting my package bees in less than a month. Everything I have read has said to leave the queen in her cage and just let the workers free her, at least until I started reading on here. I don't want to start off with bad comb, but I am worried about the workers balling the queen when they have not become accustomed to her, yet. Are there signs I need to look for in the package to make sure they won't kill her, or something else I might do to prevent any aggression towards her?

I wouldn't compare a forum to an organized course.
Some people have the money and time to benefit from an online course and their questions could possibly be answered by Maryann Frazier. On a forum there's no telling who's responding to ones questions. Having read two or three books would help someone to muck out the good answers on a forum. My first beekeeping book was the one used in the University of Delaware's credited beekeeping course and their online course, Dewey Caron's "Beekeeping and Honey Bee Biology".
BOOKS are important in my opinion.
Attending a class in person is not an option for many so an online course is an affordable (with two f's) option.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by armygirl, Apr 28, 2009.
Some good points..I'd be on board with drafting a taller guy as long as he was severely underweight.
Sry Joe D, but Darko was your once-your-liftime chance. Smoking serbians ( Human victory Cigars) don't grow on trees.
It is important to keep an open mind during the draft process. It's been a while since they've got me hyped for an unusually tall foreigner who started playing ball last week.
Yep...the only stipulation I would put on that is he must perform well by himself in a private workout.
Are there any coaches available in this year's draft?
another rookie coach??
With Curry returning there's no need to draft a position...just go for most talented.
Yeah. Position is the LEAST of MC's worries. With a roster makeover and some crafty drafting; MC should be able to field a starting lineup consisting of all Small Forwards. (i.e. "medium ball")
On second thought...might as well draft another tall project guy...BJ Mullens fills the bill. Too bad there's no one to coach him. Joe would have to send him to Europe until Curry's contract expires.
Great point! We should fill the team with players that can play EVERY position or perhaps draft a PG/C or a PF/SG.
Co-sign. Winning blows. ;)
Maybe Curry will outline his plan for next season so we can have a feel what his intentions are for the next draft.
This may be the all time most consistently funny thread. Anyway, take the most talented player available - this team has more holes than swiss cheese.
This team IS a hole.
Separate names with a comma.

|Head Coach
|(352) 588-7308
|Alma Mater:
|Springfield College '95
Brad Jorgensen was hired as the first-ever head coach of the Saint Leo University Men's Lacrosse team in January 2005. He wrapped up his eleventh season in 2016 and currently stands 84-71 record at Saint Leo, and a career mark of 129-121.
In 2016, Saint Leo returned to their winning ways under Jorgensen, finishing with a 9-5 record, and 2-3 SSC record for a third-place finish. Saint Leo also advanced to their second SSC Tournament in three years. The Lions ranked as high as No. 15 during the season, and earned ranked wins over No. 11 Pfeiffer and No. 17 Lynn. Saint Leo placed seven on the All-SSC teams, and broke several school records during the season. The Lions finished the year as the NCAA Statistical champions for man-up offense efficiency with a .521 mark. They were the first SSC School to ever take that category.
In 2015, the Lions went 7-7, and 1-4 in SSC play in their second season in the conference. The team earned a win over No. 10 Mount Olive as the high point of the season. Six Lions earned All-SSC Honors, while Dylan Yonts tied the Saint Leo single season goals record with 38.
The 2014 season featured a big change for the men's lacrosse program, as the Lions competed for the first time in the Sunshine State Conference and reached the its first ever Sunshine State Conference Tournament. The Lions finished yet another season above .500 (8-7) and also earned the program's first shutout victory over Lynn University in an 11-0 decision. In addition, the Lions accomplished a three game win streak during the beginning portion of the season and a home record of 5-2. The team also set several single season marks including most shots in a season (626) and face off wins and loss percentage (.662). Jorgensen's Lions earned the "Ace" Adams Sportsmanship Award and Jorgensen was named as the DI/II South Head Coach for the 73rd USILA/LaxWorld North-South Game. The Lions also posted one USILA Scholar All-America selection, nine All-SSC Selections, and four SSC Player of the Week award winners. Jorgensen's talented squad also produced an NCAA statistical champion for face-off winning percentage in sophomore Will Cothron.
The 2013 season saw yet another year with a winning percentage above .500, as Jorgensen's squad finished with an 8-7 overall record. The Lions were able to hit their stride in the middle of the season, tearing off a seven game win streak. Jorgensen's squad was impressive on the field, scoring a total of 160 goals and 90 assists on the season. The 2013 squad also entered the Lions' All-Time Record books, setting the most man-up goals in a single season with 24. In total, the Lions had two All-DSC Tournament Team selections and one Academic All-District First Team selections.
Finishing with at least a .500 record for the fifth time at Saint Leo, Jorgensen's club secured critical wins over tough competition in 2012. Upending squads like Wingate and Pfeiffer, the Lions finished the regular season winning three-of-four matches. Earning a 5-1 home record, the team went 4-4 in the conference and now has Jorgensen just one win shy of 100. His team also averaged 10.50 goals per game, including a season-best 38 from All-Deep South Conference selection Matt Obermeyer. Jorgensen's Lions also compiled more ground balls, shots, points and goals than their opponents. In total, the Lions had three Deep South Conference Players of the Week, three All-Deep South Conference members, A CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team selectee, and one All-Tournament team honoree.
In the last six years, Coach Jorgensen has amassed an impressive list of achievements. He has coached the Lions to two consecutive Deep South Conference Tournament Championships (2009, 2010), and a DSC Regular Season Championship in 2010. He has coached 27 DSC All-Conference athletes, three DSC Freshmen of the Year, and the program's first ever All-Americans and North/South Game representative. Under his guidance, the 2009 squad finished the season ranked No. 4 in Team Offense PPG (13.2), and seventh in Team Defense PPG (7.8), and his 2010 team ended the year ranked eighth in Team Defense PPG (7.5), and ninth in Team Offense PPG (11.4).
2010 saw the Lions manage the sweep, winning the Deep South Conference Regular Season and Tournament Championships after posting a 12-3 overall record, and going 4-1 in the Deep South Conference. It also marked the second consecutive year the DSC Tournament title rested in Saint Leo, Fla. Although it would end up as another year without an NCAA bid, with only four available slots, Jorgensen piloted his Lions to impressive wins over Merrimack, Mars Hill and a tournament clinching win over Catawba. The Lions also claimed another program first when two Saint Leo starters (Kyle Marceau, Mike Del Buono) surpassed the SLU eight names on the 2010 Deep South All-Conference Team and became the first USILA All-Americans in Saint Leo history. Marceau also was the first Saint Leo representative to participate in the legendary North/South All-Star Game.
The 2009 season was a record-breaking year, and one that saw the Lions go 11-3 overall and 4-1 in the Deep South Conference as well as taking home a Deep South Conference Tournament Championship after a 15-12 win over 10th-ranked Mars Hill in the championship game. Although the Lions missed out on a bid to the NCAA Tournament, Saint Leo still dominated the All-Deep South Conference Team, placing eight members on the team. This was the year that many feel Coach Jorgensen put Saint Leo and lacrosse in the state of Florida on the map.
Jorgensen led the Lions to an 8-8 record in 2008, setting a new program record for wins in a single season. Saint Leo also recorded its first-ever post-season win in 2008, as the Lions upset No. 9 ranked Wingate University 8-7 in double overtime to advance to the program's first-ever Deep South Conference Tournament Final. Saint Leo had the DSC Freshman of the Year for the second consecutive season in 2008, as Gregg Geiss earned the honor and he was joined on the DSC All-Conference Team by four teammates.
Saint Leo fielded a Division II varsity team for the 2005-06 school year after having a club program for previous past two years, becoming the first, four-year private or public institution in Florida to field a men's Lacrosse team. The Lions recorded a 3-9 record in their initial year of competition.
With a full year of recruiting, Jorgensen led the Lions to a 7-8 record in his second season as head coach, including a 2-2 record in the Deep South Conference as the Lions joined the five-team lacrosse league prior to the 2007 season. Saint Leo qualified for the Deep South Conference Tournament, and boasted the conference's Freshman of the Year in goalie David Erdman. In addition, senior attackman Ryan Harris was a First Team All-Conference selection.
Jorgensen came to SLU from Wheaton College where he was head men's Lacrosse coach at the Division III school in Norton, Mass. since 1997.
Wheaton tied a program record for most victories (10) in a season in 2004, and hosted its first ever Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) tournament game. Reaching the semifinals of the ECAC tournament for the second time in three years (first time was 2002), Wheaton posted a 10-5 record and was ranked nationally in multiple statistical categories.
The native of Simsbury, Conn. has had 22 players named to the Pilgrim League All-Conference teams and one to the All-New England squad. He also sent a combined 10 players to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association senior North-South All-Star and New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association senior East-West All-Star games. Jorgensen was selected head coach of the East squad in the 1999 game. He also has been a member of the NCAA Regional Advisory Committee since 2001 and served as the site representative for the Division III semifinal match in 2004.
Jorgensen is a 1995 graduate of Springfield College (Mass.) with a bachelor's degree in movement and sport science. He was a midfielder for four years on the Division II team and was named First Team All-America in 1994 and 1995. Springfield won the NCAA Division II Championship in 1994 and was national runner-up in 1995. Springfield won the ECAC Championship in 1993.
Jorgensen is a member of the NCAA Lacrosse Rules Committee. He is also a current member of the South Region Advisory Committee for Division II Lacrosse.
Jorgensen recently completed his MBA with a concentration in Sport Business at Saint Leo in 2009. Along with his duties as head coach at Saint Leo, Jorgensen also acts as Assistant Athletic Director for Recreation. He and his wife Caroline have two sons.

As part of our social commitments, Credit Suisse employees select a non-profit organization every year as "Charity of the Year." The selected charity receives a donation and additional contributions from fundraising activities throughout the year.
Charity of the Year 2015
The Childhood Cancer Research Foundation Switzerland was elected "Charity of the Year 2015." Since 1997, the foundation has provided funding to develop therapies and increase the chances of recovery for children with cancer. Doctors and researchers rely on this aid as 25 in 100 children die from their cancer. Cancer develops faster in children and behaves differently than in adults.
2014 Review
For the Aladdin Foundation, our "Charity of the Year 2014", over CHF 44,000 were raised in 2014. Donations from various staff fundraising campaigns were further augmented in December by the Christmas tree campaign at bank branches, which collected another CHF 18,000. The Aladdin Foundation can use this donation to provide additional valuable respite measures and support services for families of children with serious illnesses or disabilities.
In September and October 2014, Credit Suisse employees also spent a week lending their support at the children's vacation camps in Kandersteg.

we got our revenge on the packers, 49ers, and saints...i have not forgotten SB XXXV...the ravens blew our doors off in that game...it's time for some payback....
No regular season game will be revenge enough with the Ravens. We've already beaten them in the regular season since our SB loss. Now, if we can spank that *** in the SB, then that'll be a nice retributive dish.
Also, we have to trounce Atlanta before we deal with the Ravens. They'll be another team that wants revenge that we'll have to sit at the kids' table.
Sir remind me not to ever cross you. SB XXXV
Bill Loyal to the NYG logo
How sweet it was to go out and blast the doors off of the Saints.
I've been waiting to blow out those bums since 2009. When Wilson ran that last one in to make it 52, my year was complete.
The aints look pretty pathetic outside their little dome. Vengeance is ours!
For those who don't remember, in 2008 we beat the living crap out of the ravens in their own home. I think we had like 200+ rushing yards on them when they were considered the best rushing defense.
I was really hoping we would've faced them last year in the superbowl for what occurred in 2000. I hope we get to return the favor this year and accomplish a repeat. Not saying i'm looking ahead, just wishful thinking.
Let's remind the falcons what giants football is all about!
Yeah, if anything these teams are trying to get revenge on the Giants for their losses in the playoffs. Hopefully we continue the streak of broken hearts. Always remember, between beating these teams in last years playoffs, and beating them this year again, that gives them even more fuel for taking revenge in this years playoffs. The team will need to be ready for these guys to be extra fired up should they meet in the playoffs.
All Hail The New York Giants!!
Some incredible stats about that 2000 Ravens team that throttled us in SB XXXV:
They played 20 games, and held their opponents to 10 points or less in 15 of those games.
They allowed 970 rushing yards (about 60 per game) and 2.7 yards/rush.
They allowed 188 points in 20 games, while the 1985 Bears allowed 208 points in 19 games.
Sure, it would be great to beat the Ravens in the upcoming game, and even better to do it in SB XLVII. But both 2000 rosters are completely turned over, with the exception of Ray Lewis.

Where I stayed
Erik Place
From there, we went straight to the ferry terminal. As soon as we got to Pulau Weh, we board on a van to take us to Iboih Beach. We managed to find a couple of travelers who were going to the same place so we were able to share the cost. Iboih was a lovely village. It was very small and there was nothing to do here. Well, you could dive and just 'lazy-ing' on the beach. I didn't plan to dive, but after the first day I figured I'd go crazy if I didn't do anything for the next 4 days. So I signed up for my Open Water Dive Course. I dove with Rubiah Tirta Divers. They were great. They're local people. I prefer to support local business instead of diving with another dive shop owned by Europeans.
So, the next few days, I was just busy with my dive classes. There was a girl from the UK. We had the same instructor but she was doing her Rescue Diver Course. So, apart from my own diving, I had to be the casualty many times for her rescue practice. It was really fun. This place was just beautiful and peaceful. At night, you could see thousands of stars on the sky.
A few days later, I finished my Open Water Course. So we decided to check out the other part of the island. First up, we went to Sumur Tiga Beach. The locals said it is the best beach on the island. I couldn't agree more! In fact, it is probably the best beach I've ever been. Even better, when we got there no one was around! Later in the afternoon, a few local kids came along and had a splash. I had a great time at the beach after riding the motorcycle around the island. It was a nice way to explore the island but it was really hot. After a few hours, we were back on the motorcycle. This time, we rode all the way up to the northernmost tip of the island (perhaps the northernmost of Indonesia too?) and waited for the sunset. It was beautiful but it was a bit scary going back to Iboih after that because it was dark. All we had was the headlamp of that old motorcycle.
There was a small coffee shop on Iboih where I had my last brekkie on the island and enjoying the sunrise. I didn't want to leave! I've had so much fun here. We arrived at Banda Aceh a few hours earlier that the flight to KL. So, off we went to check out the recently built Tsunami Museum. It was raining and it was not close to the airport so we took a taxi. Talked to the taxi driver and asked him about the tsunami and how it affected him. He said that he lost 2 kids and his wife. Poor guy. The museum had not opened yet, so we just took some pictures of it. It was a nice building. The design is supposed to look like a wave, to commemorate the event. That was the last place we visited in Banda Aceh. I hope I will be back here someday!

(they continued to use the feeder) i fed them again this summer and hope maybe to get them to swarm next spring. in the 10 yrs i have had my ranch i had never seen a honey bee till i brought in my hive. so i dont mind them going wild, they were a captured wild swarm anyway. and my main purpose was to bring in pollinators, so i guess it was successful. they did a fine job in the garden and the local flower pots. i hope to learn lots and maybe share a thing or 2 as i gain knowledge and experience.

Wow, no threads on the big race. Anyhow, my picks were
Friesan Fire (good on the slop)
Pioneerof The Nile
Dunkirk (he stumbled badly after the start)
Friesan Fire grabbed a quarter during the race, which explains why he performed so badly. I was shocked that Mine That Bird, a 50-1 longshot, won! He was flying at the endd, and he was not just passing tiring horses. Good for him and Calvin Borel, his jockey!
I was sad to see top contenders like The Pamplemousse, Old Fashioned, Quality Road, Midshipman, I Want Revenge get sidelined before the Derby.
Mine That Bird was last in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Who would've guessed back then he would win the Derby by daylight? Not me.
PETA was outside the track protesting. I am sure they are disappointed no horses fatally brokedown in the Derby so they could say "we told you so" and bring more attention to their wacko organization.

Het appartement lag zeer centraal wat super was.
Wel erg klein. Verder veel last gehad van luid
pratende mensen op het plein tot zeer laat in
de nacht. Hiervoor oordopjes gekocht om te
kunnen slapen.
Hello! I had rented "Luxury born style 1" but because of problems with the previous guests, we had to stay in another apartment "Roger Deluxe". I wrote to "Wimdu" if they knew of the problem with another apartment but because of the language barrier (I think) found they never quite realized that I got another opportunity. However, there was always a quick response and helpful people!! I got that said "Roger Deluxe" apartment (We got 5 others to choose from all of which were larger). We were 5 women 40 + and everyone was extremely happy!! Ani and Natalie in "StayBarcelonaApartments" was so patient and provided excellent service. We could be reasonably demanding but they were always quick to respond and so helpful. They ordered taxis for us (from and to the airport). Called and advised us to take the former away with the taxi, the return-day, because great football match. Ramon and Maria who met us at the apartment gave us super good tips MHT eateries mm. We've all had a wonderful trip to Barcelona and all agreed that we could easily stay in "Roger Deluxe" apartment again (it is so good!). Even with our kids, big and small! Thanks for a great experience!! Sincerely, Lisa Rasmussen
Hello !
Jeg havde lejet "Luxury born style 1" men pga problemer med de tidligere gæster måtte vi bo i en anden lejlighed "Roger Deluxe".
Jeg skrev til "Wimdu" om de kendte til problemet med anden lejlighed men pga sprogbarrieren (tror jeg) fandt de aldrig helt ud af, at jeg fik en anden lejlighed. Der var dog altid hurtigt svar og hjælpsomme mennesker !!!!!!
Jeg fik som sagt "Roger Deluxe" lejligheden, (Vi fik 5 andre at vælge imellem som alle var større). Vi var 5 kvinder 40 +, og alle var yderst tilfredse !!!!!!
Ani og Natalie i "StayBarcelonaApartments" var så tålmodige og ydede en fantastisk service. Vi kunne godt være rimelig krævende men de var altid hurtige til at svare og så hjælpsomme. De bestilte taxa'er for os (fra og til lufthavn). Ringede og rådede os til at tage tidligere afsted med taxaen, på hjemrejse-dagen, pga stor forboldskamp.
Ramon og Maria som mødte os ved lejligheden gav os super gode tips mht spisesteder mm.
Vi har alle haft en vidunderlig tur til Barcelona og alle er enige om at vi sagtens kunne bo i "Roger Deluxe" lejligheden igen (den ligger så godt !). Selv med vores børn, store som små !
Tak for en god oplevelse !!!!!
Venlig hilsen

Globally very satisfied with the apartment.
The main bedroom is located on the side of a heavy trafic street (carrer d'arago) so if you're sensitive to noise, take earplugs and it will be fine.
Also, just make sure to call at 13h00 if you want to check in at 14h00.
For the rest, it was perfect. Nice welcome, and the flat is very well located, with two bath rooms, well equpped kitchen, and close to every famous sites of Barcelona.
Definitely not the experience that you want to make at your stay in Barcelona...
After arriving in Barcelona the check-in in our apartement was planned at 2pm, i already tried to call the agency in the morning but couldn't reach someone and they didn't ring back. We (group of 3 people) decided at 12 pm to get close to our apartement ( to be ready when they allowed us to check-in. After calling them again at 1pm they stated that they are very sorry but they cant give us the apartement without telling us a valid reason.. They now proposed a other apartement with a less good location (the original booked apartement was in the gothic district and the new proposal close to placa de catalunya). But we didn't have another choice and finally we could move in this alternative apartement at 5:30 pm (!!!) which already destroyed all our plans for the day. Due to our late check in and all the complications, we asked for late check out 2pm as a bit of compensation for all this hassle. Again, they promised to check if it is possible and wanted to call us back or sending a mail - never ever got something. And as expected, on check out day nothing was arranged, cleaning stuff went into the apartement and it took us an additional hour of discussing and arguing to do the check out 1,5 hours later. We understand that sometimes plans can change, especially when you rent apartements, but then it needs to be proper and proactiv communicated. We had the impression that they absolutely did not care about us.
We were in a group of 5 people in the apartment and it had the ideal size.
The handover went smoothly and also to the shuttle was booked to place us point.
The apartment was very clean, everything in the kitchen was there and the terrace was really nice with a view of the tops of the Sagrada. The Metro station was not far away and the nearest bakery / cafe 'and small supermarket just around the corner.
A great stay :)
Wir waren in einer Gruppe von 5 Leuten in dem Appartement und dafür hatte es die ideale Größe.
Die Übergabe hat reibungslos geklappt und auch der dazu gebuchte Shuttle war an Ort uns Stelle.
Die Wohnung war sehr sauber, in der Küche war alles da und die Terrasse war super schön mit einem Blick auf die Spitzen der Sagrada. Die Metrostation war nicht weit weg und der nächste Bäcker/ Cafe´ und kleine Supermarkt sind direkt um die Ecke.
Ein toller Aufenthalt :)
Superagradable! It was like being in our own house.A very special trip on a highly recommendable place. We have been my sisters, my mother and my baby to celebrate the 70th birthday of our mother. We decided to get together in Barcelona all because 2 living in Granada, one in France and another in Madrid. The availability of this terrace was wonderful. The rooms, dry cleaning service, kitchen, bathrooms perfect. All super clean and nice. Return with their eyes closed.
Very nice host.
Superagradable! Ha sido como estar en nuestra propia casa.Un viaje muy especial en un lugar totalmente recomendable. Hemos estado mis hermanas, mi madre y yo con mi bebé para celebrar el 70 cumpleaños de nuestra madre. Decidimos juntarnos en Barcelona todas ya que 2 viven en Granada, una en Francia y otras en Madrid. Poder disponer de esa terraza ha sido una maravilla. Las habitaciones , el saón, cocina, baños perfectos. Todo superlimpio y bonito. Volveríamos con los ojos cerrados.
El anfitrión muy agradable.
The apartment is very well located and with a very good supply.
Thank you very much!
El apartamento está muy bien ubicado y con una muy buena dotación.
Muchas gracias!
Apartment was lovely. Terrace beautiful.Lovely spa bath and shower and apartment nicely decorated. The only drawback was that the bedrooms did not have windows opening to outside-just to utility area. This meant it was stuffy and dark.Also it would have been good if there had been some basics such as dishwasher tablets and washing powder as annoying having to buy everything for a 4 night stay.
Stay: 23-04.26.2015
Super WE in Barca with the perfect accommodation for people who really wolen participate in life. Prima accessible öffentlchen Verkehsrmitteln from the airport.
The apartment is perfectly cut for a couple and a bedroom facing the courtyard is also night's sleep despite central city location guarantees.
Handover by Wimdu worked out fine. A clear case for the recommendation.
We love to come back and say thank you again.
LG from the Baltic coast Sabine and Bernd :-)
Aufenthalt: 23.-26.04.2015

Übergabe durch WIMDU hat prima geklappt. Ein klarer Fall zur Weiterempfehlung.
Wir kommen gerne wieder und sagen nochmal Dankeschön.

Got my license to park on the beach too, pretty cool. I'll get some photos of the Trailblazer on the beach down here. There's a pretty cool little ferry that boats you across these islands too. One of the shortest Ferry rides that I've ever been on. Lots of fun, have to get back to the real world soon enough though. Me on the beach, I still got it, wife took the photo.

Marquette sweethearts
Joannie (Degnan) Barth, Arts '79, and Scott Barth, Jour '79, celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. They met as sophomores in the lobby of Schroeder Hall and talked till dawn, when the night guard "Moses" took them on their first date: breakfast at McDonald's. The Barths enjoy a strong faith and loving family. Their mountain home in Evergreen, Colo., keeps them close to all four of their adult children.

Fans have been anxiously awaiting the return of the Late Model Division as the last feature race was back on June 4th when Phillip Cobb became the latest winner of the Annual Powell Memorial. And as the Late Models return to the southeast's toughest 3/8ths mile, the 2010 points battle is still up for grabs. Mark Whitener holds onto the top spot, but 10 other racers are all within 98 points of first place. Phillip Cobb is just 22 points back, J.O. Nobles is only 29 points shy of the top spot, and young Christian Augspurger is a mere 41 points short of first place. Needless to say, any mistakes or misfortunes in the top tier of the points chart could spell trouble and let gravity take over, so the leaders will be watching their backs while those who are chasing them are beginning to salivate for their own taste of the top. That makes for exciting and tough racing this Friday night, and a strong group of top late model racers will be on hand to take part in the feeding frenzy at the top.
The Amsoil V8 Thunder Stocks have the reputation of being the toughest division racing at Ocala Speedway, and with good reason. On any given Friday night, it is likely that as many as half of the 20 or so cars that begin the feature will not finish it, and those that do make it to the finish rarely arrive unscathed. And seven racers are within reach of unseating the top dogs in the season points battle going into Friday's feature race, as Jerrid Bennett maintains a toe hold on first place. Michael Stalnaker is lurking just 12 behind him, and EBD Racing's Brian and Chris Shea are 40 and 42 points out of first place. Meanwhile Scott Mooers continues to score solid finishes at Ocala in his quest to remain in the top three of the UMP DIRTcar national rankings.
The adventures of the Ocala Speedway Mini Stocks continued two weeks ago when yet another dramatic chapter was written in their up and down season. Defending Mini Stock Champion Paul Combast collected a win when a protest caused a tear down in post race tech that led to a DQ, and everyone else bumped up the finisher's bracket one notch as a result. The DQ also helped Combast feel a bit more secure at the top of this season's points heap as Dan Kerr now trails by 27, and Nick Kerr is 63 points shy of first place. So as the Mini Stocks return this Friday, there might be a hint of resentment hanging around which could translate into more action on the track.
The Gladiator Division saw their points leader take a tumble last Friday as Steven Johnson failed to finish the race and Casey Feaster passed him on his way to the top of the points. Feaster's new position as Gladiator points leader gives him the unique distinction of leading the 2010 points totals at Ocala Speedway and at Volusia Speedway Park as well, but his grip on the top at Ocala is tenuous at best. Feaster leads Steven Johnson by a mere 5 points, and Devin Walker is just one point behind Johnson. And all of the above might do well to watch Matt Shea, as he is only 19 points out of first place and very capable of beating all of them on any given Friday.
The pit gate will open at 2PM this Friday at Ocala Speedway with the grandstand opening at 5PM. Early arrivers will be treated to hot laps before the heat races begin at 8PM. For more information, please visit www.OcalaSpeedway.com.

Any hope that Barack Obama's election would usher in a "post-racial" politics was, of course, naïve. Race is the great American problem. The great American obsession.
But even the skeptical imagined that the rise of this figure — half Kenya, half Kansas — was a moment of real progress. A leap toward the post-racial, no matter how short it might fall.
The president's gingerly handling of race over the last four years has only contributed to the narrative.
Obama's reticence on issues of black and white may be of no great service to our national dialogue, but it has helped to ensure a relative calm — a calm that many have read as our wish for racial harmony come true, or at least a little truer.
But as we head into a tight presidential election — the big, national referendum on our first black president — have we really made the leap? In a fight that could come down to a few thousand votes in a handful of states, could it be — after all this — that race will tip the balance?
And what does the state of our racial politics say about life after Obama?
These are big questions. Research from Brown University political science professor Michael Tesler points to some of the most intriguing answers.
Tesler and David O. Sears's Obama's Race: The 2008 Election and the Dream of a Post-Racial America opens with a discussion of Obama's career-long efforts to downplay race.
In his breakout keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, then-Senate candidate Obama declared "there's not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America."
A year later, when black leaders like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were suggesting racism played a role in the Bush Administration's poor response to Hurricane Katrina, Senator Obama averred that the White House's "incompetence" was "color-blind."
The effort carried over into the presidential race. Obama's campaign, aware that Rolling Stone was working on a story on the candidate's fiery pastor Jeremiah Wright, cancelled plans for the preacher to deliver the invocation at the official campaign announcement.
This was to be a cool, race-neutral campaign, designed to defuse white fears of a black president.
But Tesler and Sears argue that the 2008 presidential contest was nothing like the taming of racial politics that we might imagine. Indeed, survey data suggests it was the most racialized presidential election on record — outstripping even Jackson's racially charged bid for the White House in 1988.
The measures are many. But one of the most striking sections of the book details how racial feeling allowed Obama's Democratic primary rival Hillary Clinton, whom the authors label the "poster child for the antifeminist backlash," to become the sexists' choice for president — performing 15 points better than Obama among "gender traditionalists" than she did among "gender egalitarians."
How, then, did Obama beat Clinton and, later, Republican nominee John McCain? Well, if Obama faced sharp opposition from "racial conservatives," Tesler and Sears show, he overcame it with substantial support from "racial liberals" — including large numbers of white voters.

MAKERS Adds House Leader, Union Leader
Aug 29, 2012
The MAKERS.com video library continues to grow with first-person stories from women who are firsts in their fields. This week's newcomers: the first female Speaker of the House and the founder of the United Farm Workers.
Nancy Pelosi is Minority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives and represents California's eighth district as a member of the Democratic Party. In 2007 she became the 60th Speaker of the House and the first female Speaker in American history, a position she held until 2011.
Dolores Huerta is a union leader and activist for the rights of farm workers and women. Along with Cesar Chavez, she founded the first successful farm workers union in the country, the United Farm Workers, in 1962. She's a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Huerta has stepped down from her position at the UFW, but continues to lecture on worker's issues and women's issues around the country.
In addition to the Presidential Medal of Freedom, she's received numerous awards and recognitions-among them the Eleanor Roosevelt Humans Rights Award from President Clinton in l998, the Ohtli award from the Mexican government and nine honorary doctorates from universities throughout the U.S.

Serra Yilmaz
2006, 2007, 2008
Serra Yilmaz (b. 1954 Turkey) is well-known for her work as an actress and a director in Turkish and Italian theatre, film and television. Yilmaz studied psychology in France before working as an actress at the Istanbul Municipal Theatre from 1988 to 2004. Her film career took off in 1983 with the film Şekerpare and in 2002 she won acclaim for the leading role in 9, a film directed by director Ümit Ünal. She has had supporting roles in such internationally-acclaimed films as Harem Suare (1999), Le Fate Ignorante (The Ignorant Fairies) (2000) and La Finestra di fronte (Facing Windows) (2002), Saturno Contro (Saturn in Opposition) (2007), and Un giorno perfetto (A Perfect Day) (2008) all directed by Ferzan Özpetek. Recent films include Scontro di civiltà per un ascensore a Piazza Vittorio (2010) (Clash of Civilization Over an Elevator in Piazza Vittorio) and Ses (2010) (The Voice). Awards include Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Harem Suare at the Antalya Film Festival, Best Actress for her performance in 9 at the 21st Istanbul International Film Festival, and Best Supporting Actress for Facing Windows at the Flaiano Film Festival.
In addition to acting, Yılmaz is also a translator who speaks Turkish, French, Italian and English. In 2006 she was the official interpreter for Pope Benedict XVI on his trip to Turkey. She travels extensively working in Italy, France, and Turkey. She resides in Istanbul.
Serra Yılmaz first came to the Gardner in March, 2006. She spent time in the archives researching materials in the archives, looking at Isabella's travel scrapbooks, and reading correspondence including letters between Mrs. Gardner and Sarah Bernhardt, Adelaide Grillo and Lady Gregory. In the Spring of 2008 she returned to perform Apples from the Sky, four intimate staged readings in the museum's galleries in conjunction with the exhibition Luxury for Export: Exchange Between India and Portugal around 1600. Yilmaz selected works by Marguerite Yourcenar, Omar Palmuk and Kritovoulos that explore merchantry and the exchange and the movement of cultures between places. In addition to the readings, Yilmaz told Turkish fairy tales to all ages during Day of Discovery. A larger evening program in the Tapestry Room she dedicated to Hrant Dink, the Turkish-Armenian journalist who was assassinated in 2007. Yilmaz incorporated a reading of Dink's final article that spoke about tolerance and forgiveness with Armenian and Turkish tales of the same tenor.

May We Be Forgiven by A.M Homes (Granta $36.99)
Few writers do dysfunction as relentlessly as Homes and, in her newest novel, pretty well every individual and institution is on the verge of implosion. We start with a Thanksgiving dinner at which not only the turkey is disembowelled. We get siblings powered by mutual loathing; children by electronic addiction; in-laws by lust or contempt.
Jump to a few months later, and a totally new direction. George, the younger brother and television writer, his designer house full of Emmys, with a TV set in every room, is involved in a fatal hit-and-run and a pyrotechnic mental collapse. Then come a liaison, a homicide with table lamp, a divorce with rancour.
Just a tenth of the way into the book you're concussed by the battering of events. So is older brother Harry, part-time professor and part-time adult, who suddenly has to become a guardian and a grown-up.
It's a quantum plot, capable of being in several places at once. You can - and you're probably meant to - see it as emblematic of social fragmentation. We get online sex and off-limits sex; a rest home romance; an informant in an elevator; revelations of Richard Nixon's secret literary career.
As usual with Homes, black-plus comedy appears everywhere it can, and, in some places, it probably shouldn't. Shall I mention the Viagra-induced brain episode and the therapy session that becomes a cage fight? Indeed I shall.
Or there's the marvellously repulsive party planner, offering "these magic pens with a photo of the bride or groom. Tilt it and their clothes fall off. Very popular". And let us not omit a terrifically tasteless trip to historic Williamstown, with medication issues, serial vomiting and theme park rides called Der Katapult and Der Wirbelwind.
Suburban sterility is excoriated. Families are nuclear only inasmuch as they suffer meltdowns. At the same time, even the ugliest (try the pre-teen kids "absent of personality, absent of presence") are never beyond hope. Existence is precarious but worth cherishing. Some people craze and crumble; others defiantly hold together. Things swoop and swerve towards a glorious, unlikely conclusion, as Harry's extended family extends further still, and he finds a fortune in unused banknotes beneath a lawn.
Homes' fanged prose jumps, twitches, states horrors with jolting flatness. A hugely clever, unexpectedly compassionate work, which comes stampeding out of its own chaos to become very nearly a major novel.
The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce (Doubleday $36.99)
After 45 years of modest, mundane work, retirement for Harold Fry is a time of inertia and irritations, beside his pinch-mouthed wife in the prim little English house with its pink toilet seat cover. One day trudges after another.
Then the mail brings a letter from Queenie, whom Harold hasn't seen or heard from in two decades. She's dying. He scribbles a dull reply, and sets out to post and forget. En route to the mailbox, he changes his mind. He's going to walk the nearly 1000km to where Queenie lies - because if he keeps walking, she'll keep living.
It's a terrific premise and, even if Rachel Joyce's execution wobbles sometimes, her narrative takes you by the elbow and doesn't let go. Dressed in the clothes he was wearing when he popped out, dependent on the kindness and semi-comprehension of strangers, Harold heads for Scotland.
As he walks, he finds a world full of dogged, decent people going about their decent, dogged lives. Joyce makes this point. Then she makes it several times more. A succession of characters/caricatures crosses her protagonist's path (his B roads, rather), say their pithy or puerile bit, then wander off again. There's a burger girl who tells him
about believing; an ex-jailbird who now makes table decorations; a devotee to whom God gives a dove (or maybe a pigeon); a dog called Dog. A support group forms, not always for admirable reasons.
Harold loses weight and gains perspective. He processes his past: sad, strained parents; lost son; wife Maureen and their room-temperature marriage; "all the things in life he'd let go", including the betrayed Queenie.
He walks for 87 days. Some are times of primroses and violets. Others are full of darkness and fear. What he and we find when he reaches Berwick and Queenie is viscerally unexpected, wrenching the book in a different, darker direction.
This book was long-listed for the Man Booker. It's almost certainly headed for a movie adaptation. When you go to see it, take at least four hankies.
David Hill is a Taranaki writer.
