Fulwiler is a popular Catholic blogger and homeschooling mother of six
who writes about faith, family, media, and culture at her website, Conversion Diary. Fulwiler, whose memoir about her spiritual journey from atheism to Catholicism is titled Something Other Than God: How I Passionately Sought Happiness and Accidentally Found It and is available today from Ignatius Press, has been published in America, Our Sunday Visitor, Envoy, and National Review Online and has appeared on Fox and Friends and Life on the Rock. She was also the subject of the reality show Minor Revisions with Jennifer Fulwiler for New York's NET TV. She recently spoke with Catholic World Report's managing
editor Catherine Harmon about the new book, blogging through the
process of conversion, and the personal challenges she faced when the
practice of the Faith became more than an intellectual pursuit.
CWR: Let's start with the title of your book, Something Other Than God. Where did the title come from and why did you choose it?
Jennifer Fulwiler:
The title came from this wonderful C.S. Lewis quote, which is
particularly meaningful because C.S. Lewis is also an
atheist-to-Christian convert. The full quote says, "All that we call
human history…is the long terrible story of man trying to find something
other than God which will make him happy." And the reason I chose that
is because at first, I thought this story was just a standard conversion
story, but as I got into the writing I realized this was more of a
story of a search for happiness. So that's why I chose that quote,
because it talks about how we're all searching for what will really make
us happy, and we can only find that in God.
In the book you describe the very intense, almost arduous intellectual
process you went through of coming to understand Christianity and what
Christians believe. During that time what was your attitude toward
"cradle Christians" or those who believed in Christ in a perhaps
somewhat unreflectiveor at least less intellectually rigorousway?
It changed over time. When I was younger, because I had had some bad
experiences with Christians, I was very disdainful of "cradle believers"
and just thought that they bought into these lies for self-serving
reasons. As I got older, though, I began to see it as just a cultural
thing. I didn't think that people's religion actually meant anything to
them; I thought that's what they did because it was the tradition in
their family, or whatever.
CWR: At what point do you think your attitude started to change?
I think after I met my husband, who was a very lukewarm Christian. But
he was enough of a Christian that he knew some other believers, and
considered himself a believer. It was getting to know him and getting to
know his friends on more of an intimate levelI think anytime you hold
stereotypes, those are always shattered when you actually get to know
the people you're stereotyping. So once I started forming real bonds
with people who believed, that really made me see that there was more
complexity to Christians and Christian beliefs than I had originally
CWR: What made you turn to blogging in your exploration of Christianity?
I was a web developer by background, and so it came very naturally to
me to have an online presence to talk about anything that I was going
through. But specifically, I still didn't know very many Christians, and
frankly, the Internet was the only place I could find a forum with lots
of Christians to dialogue with. The other thing was that, because my
social circles were almost entirely atheistic, it was very embarrassing
to me to be exploring Christianity. And so my blog was anonymous
initially, and that was a way for me to talk about these ideas without
anybody knowing I was talking about these ideas.
In the book you describe some of the relationships you developed with
your readers, especially in that early stage of your conversion. Have
you maintained any of those relationships?
Yes, I have; it has been wonderful. Many of the people I originally got
to know when I first started that blog, before I was even Catholic,
have become real friends, in person, not just through the Internet. And
so it's been wonderful to see how the Internet was what originally
forged those connections.
CWR: In one of my
favorite scenes in your book, you describe one of your first sincere
prayersfor the murdered rapper Tupac Shakur. Can you talk a little
about what moved you to make that particular prayer, for that particular
Fulwiler: It must have just been the
Holy Spirit. I've always been a fan of Tupac Shakur's music and the
reason that I talk about it in that chapter is that in a very, very
strange way he reminds me of Chesterton and C.S. Lewis. I want to be
very clearI'm not holding him up as a role model or anything; obviously
he was into some pretty bad stuff. But I did see an intellectual
honesty underlying everything he ever did. So I felt a great pity for
himthat his life ended up where it did. And when I thought about it in
light of what Catholics believe, I just felt so sad that he never found
the truth for which he was so obviously looking. And so I was very moved
to pray for him.
CWR: It is clear, in reading
your account, that you were very determined to be as intellectually
honest as possible as you investigated Christianityexcept on the
subject of abortion. You say frankly that for a time it was more
important for you to remain "pro-choice" than it was to take an honest
look at the morality of abortion. Why was this subject different from
other areas of Christian belief for you?
Intellectual honesty was so important to me, but I willingly threw it
out the window with that subject. The reason was that I believed in my
heart of hearts that women need to be free, that they can't be slaves to
their own bodies. And because I bought the lies of contraceptive
culture hook, line, and sinker, I thought: everybody knows that
contraception isn't 100 percent, and so when the contraception doesn't
work, women just have to have abortion as a back-up. Otherwise the
sexual actwhich they were assured did not have to have life-changing
consequencessuddenly had life-changing consequences.
So it was
this idea of women's freedom that trumped intellectual honesty. And, as
you see in the book, I had this huge, thunder-and-lightning moment in
which I realized what takes away women's freedom is not the pro-life
movement, it's not anti-abortion stuff; what takes away women's freedom
is the lie of contraceptive culture.
CWR: When
you were pregnant with your second child, and while you and your husband
were going through the process of converting to Catholicism, you were
diagnosed with a blood disorder that makes pregnancy very risky for you.
You write that you and your husband were "kind-of-sort-of-mostly sold
on the Catholic anti-contraception stuff," and consequently you decided
not to go on contraception after giving birth, against the advice of
your doctor. Can you describe what it was like to make the decision to
abide by Church teaching in that pretty high-stakes,
rubber-hits-the-road situation, all while still going through the
process of coming into the Church?
Fulwiler: I
think it was actually really good for me. Up until that point I had
thought of Christianity as ideas that happen in the pages of books. And
suddenly those ideas jumped off the pages and got really real, really
quickly. It brought me face-to-face with the truth that this isn't about
concepts or evaluating data and ideas; this is about, "Do I believe in
Jesus Christ? Do I want to follow him? Do I want to be part of the
Church that he founded?" It just made everything so real, so quickly for
me, and it forced me to take it very seriously, because it was going to
involve some very serious sacrifices in my life. It wasn't just, "Oh
good, I'll become Catholic, and that means I'll read about Catholicism."
I was really going to have to live Catholicism. It made me ask myself,
how much do I really believe this?
CWR: Would you say that that decision made the rest of your conversion process easier, or did it make it harder?
It made it difficult in the sense that it did involve sacrifice and
suffering. It made it easier in the sense that it forced me to look at
the issue of contraception. And what I saw was that the Church was
right, and that nobody else was rightno one else on the face of the
planet was speaking these truths. When I saw that the Catholic Church
was not only right but that it is the only institution that is right on
this issue, it made me realize that this Church really is guided by God,
that these teachings come from God, not from people. And so in that
sense it actually made my conversion easy, because I fully, 100 percent
believed at that moment that I had found the Church that Jesus Christ
personally founded.
CWR: And your husband was completely on the same page with you about this?
Yes. What was interesting was that he started out an anti-Catholic
Baptist, and I was an anti-Catholic atheist. At the beginning of this
exploration process, we both agreed to look at what is true, to set
aside our biases and our baggage and just say, "What is true?" And when
we took an honest look at the contraception issue and all the other
Church teachings it was very clear to both of us that this is true.
Your book ends shortly after you and your husband are received into the
Church. In the years since then, you've had four more children, your
blog has become one of the most popular Catholic blogs out there, and
you've even starred in a reality show about your family life. But your
blog is still called "Conversion Diary." Is that process of conversion
one that's squarely behind you now, with all your questions answered?
No, not at all. In fact, that's why I wanted to call it Conversion
Diary. The original name was "The Reluctant Atheist," way back when, and
so I wanted to change the name when I wasn't an atheist anymore. When I
announced the new name I was going on this wonderful quote from Pope
Benedict in which he talks about how conversion never endsevery day of
the Christian life is a constant journey of conversion, of growing
closer to God. And I wanted to give the blog that title as a reminder to
me that my conversion is not something that ended in 2007, that my
conversion is something that will happen until the day I die.

Further fraud charges have been laid against a man accused of ripping off elderly people and using the money to pay court-ordered reparation to previous victims.
It is also alleged that Steven Francis Younger used the $257,000 to fund a lifestyle of gambling, fine dining and travel.
Younger, 43, appeared in the North Shore District Court on Friday facing eight charges of obtaining $156,000 by deception from an 80-year-old Helensville man and Taranaki woman in her mid-70s.
He will defend the charges, claiming the amounts he took from the alleged victims were loans that he intended to pay back.
But after details of those allegations against Younger were published in the Weekend Herald, a 73-year-old man from Parakai contacted police claiming he had also been scammed to the tune of $110,000.
He made a complaint on Monday which resulted in six fresh charges of obtaining by deception being laid against Younger when he reappeared in court yesterday.
The 73-year-old told police he met Younger at the end of 2012 and the pair became friends. Younger would call in regularly for coffee and to chat, the man said.
On six occasions between late January and July 22 Younger allegedly obtained $110,000 from his new "friend", which he said he would invest. He allegedly told the man that his sister held a senior role within the ANZ bank and had access to accounts that yielded much higher interest rates than usual.
The man wrote Younger a cheque for $20,000 and was promised the money would be returned with interest of about $4000 after three months.
Younger allegedly visited the man regularly over the next seven months to ask for more money to invest.
The man told police Younger did return some of the money in the form of "interest payments", but only about $4000. It is understood Younger used some of the money he allegedly took from the 73-year-old to pay reparation to victims of his earlier offending and gambled a large amount away.
For legal reasons, the Herald cannot publish further details of that offending.
The new allegations are almost identical to the charges relating to the Helensville and Taranaki victims first heard in court last week.
Younger is a sharemilker from Taranaki who has been living in the Helensville area since late 2012.
Police laid all of the charges in the New Plymouth District Court, and wanted them all dealt with together there after Younger's initial appearance in the North Shore District Court.
Defence counsel Jeremy Bioletti argued the Helensville charges should be heard in Auckland, where the alleged offending occurred.
Judge Philippa Sinclair ruled that the charges should be heard together and further remanded Younger in custody to reappear in the New Plymouth District Court tomorrow.

Affirmations – Using Affirmations for Success
The New Theory behind Affirmations
Before you can hope to master the universe, however, you must learn to
master yourself, and so we will end with a return to the more personal level,
and a popular theory from internationally-respected neuroscientist, Candace
Pert, Ph.D. Her theories, based on her discovery of opiate receptors – cellular
binding sites for brain endorphins – and her further laboratory research, may
explain exactly how your thoughts and affirmations create your personal
What follows provides a completely different perspective on why we must
watch our thoughts at all times and try to maintain a healthy, positive mental
This first part is fact. Human beings are made up of around 50 trillion
eukaryote cells, which are cells with a nucleus that carries our DNA. The fact
that each of these does carry DNA means that each one contains the
equivalent of all the body's functional systems – nervous, circulatory,
digestive, respiratory, excretory, endocrine, immune, muscle and skeletal,
integument (skin), and reproductive. Each cell is a living organism in its own
right, and has the capability to grow as a single entity when placed in a Petri
dish. Consider the furore over stem-cell research at the moment because of its
potential to essentially create human body parts.
Now to the crucial issue that impacts your affirmations – the popular theory of
how these cell receptors may be responsible for your emotional make-up.
Pert believes that your emotions are triggered by a part of the brain called the
hypothalamus, which is known to be responsible for certain metabolic
processes and other activities of the Autonomic Nervous System. She believes
that when your thoughts provoke an emotion, your hypothalamus creates a
chemical that is matched to that particular emotion. These chemicals are
called peptides, or neuropeptides, which are sequences of small chain amino
acids – the building blocks of protein.

The one-day, a time from when he also has been within grips. A grip as it once had him until the one early morning that his parents were exposed.
?????? Sylvie has had her eye on Paxcou, she has been watching from in under the yellow stares from when its moon has set for full. Paxcou, let alone his being from when he could have known, when his blood lusting child hood was brunt to an end and from when he's now been with aunt Olivia asa mother from in the need of his soul.
?????? Sylvie has kept wonder from how she would know. Her life as a daughter, having no brother's and within a family that has also a yet for expose. She kept to her self as Paxcou held for his own, knowing he has always had a girl for a neighbor yet they both lead a?different soul.

paint choices?
ok i have been doing some bodywork on my truck, i have a pretty good idea of what color i want to paint it i was thinking cobalt blue what do :welcome: you guys think?
...and your truck is a ???
I think SPI red would be a good choice
solid color with a lite metallic..easier to shoot for someone who has not done a lot of painting..
What kind of truck do you have?
Different cars like different colors. If one color was always the best choice, then hot rodders would all have the same color on every kind of project!
Cobalt blue is a great color as are thousands of others. I would recommend going to a local car show and see what the colors really look like in person and how they might look on your particular car. The worse thing is to pick a color and regret the color choice two weeks after you paint because you saw the same car painted another scheme. You can also google trucks like yours and get ideas
Since you haven't replied with a description of the truck... I will offer this.
Color gives the vehicle a certain personality. I always like for the personality to fit the vehicle.
If it is a blown Hemi powered Model A... you might want an "excitement color" like red, orange or yellow.
If it is a lowered El Camino with fender skirts and a great interior and sound system... you might want a "dreamy color" like blue or aqua.
If it is a slammed late model with a big inch V8 with injection, and 20 inch rims with wide tires... you might want a powerful "masculine color" like black, or dark red.
If you want the truck to look "exotic"... use purples, turquoise, lavender or a pink-orange.
If you want it to look valueable, use gold, dark metallics, or black.
I think this might give you idea how one color does not fit every build.
not knowing squat other than you like Cobalt Blue i would offer up Desert Storm Camo. hahahaha!
or Fords Sonic Blue.

We believe strongly that S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley's report cards for South Carolina legislators are a good thing … or at least they could have been a good thing had the governor offered a real reform agenda on which to grade our fiscally liberal state lawmakers.
Unfortunately, she didn't do that.
Haley's agenda offered no tax relief, no spending cuts, no taxpayer rebate fund, no parental choice … and no real government restructuring.
She proposed several "reforms in name only," but these watered-down proposals were more about scoring political wins than they were helping taxpayers. The sad truth is that Haley never offered anything resembling the sort of fiscally conservative, free market reforms that South Carolina desperately needs if it ever wants to move forward (not backward) economically.
Pretty weak considering Haley is viewed on the national stage as a "Tea Party darling."
Making matters worse, Haley perpetuated our state's failed top-down approach by signing off on the largest budget in South Carolina history (and yet just six weeks after this budget went into effect she was forced to beg Washington, D.C. for a bailout to pay road contractors).
Anyway, while Haley is getting her report card from the people of South Carolina (here, here and here), she has yet to publish her legislative report cards.
Of course that's not stopping her from shilling for a new Congressional report card that's being compiled by the Heritage Foundation (a scorecard that we suspect will be about as legitimate as Grover Norquist's "No New Taxes" pledge).
"It is time our elected officials remember they work for the people and not the other way around," Haley says in a promotional video for Heritage Action, the political wing of the conservative think tank. "So let's support those who do a great job. Let's hold their hand to the fire for those that don't."
That's good advice … it's a shame Haley isn't following it. It's also a shame she's squandering what could have been an effective tool for holding our state's free-spending S.C. General Assembly in check.

(TSG) — On Monday morning, a Michigan cop reported to a park in response to a 911 call about "a subject in a silver car sucking on a dildo." Upon investigation, Sergeant Steve Allen with the Trenton Police Department located a Ford Fusion being driven by a 67-year-old man whose name has been redacted from an incident report. Peering into the vehicle, Allen "saw a flesh colored dildo lying on the passenger seat." During questioning, the man admitted that he was "sucking on a dildo." He added, "I'm sorry." As seen in the report, those quotes are rendered for some reason in capital letters. The pensioner "admitted to having a problem with sex toys," added Allen. The dildo aficionado was arrested for disorderly conduct in a public park and booked into the Trenton jail on the misdemeanor charge. He has 10 days left to appear for arraignment in District Court.
Typically I'm on the side of the accused in these stories. Like when dudes get caught tugging it in their car? I'll defend his right to do so to the death. Your car is your home. What you do inside of it is no one else's business. But this is where I draw the line. Sucking on rubber dicks. Not even dicks. Rubber dicks. If this guy wanted to blow his boyfriend in the car then he certainly should be able to. But not a rubber dick. That's always infuriated me in porn. When chicks are sucking strap ons or whatever? WHY are you doing that?! No one is getting any pleasure from that whatsoever. Makes me so angry that a nice little masturbation session turns into a hate fuck starring just myself. So sorry dude but I can't be on your side for this one. I don't hate a lot of things in this life but people blowing rubber peckers is definitely one of them.
PS – Notice how the article says the guy admitted to "sucking on a dildo" but the police report claims he said he was "SUCKING ON A DILDO"? I'd like clarification as to how he said it. I know it shouldn't matter but it really does.

Judges' speeches at literary prize ceremonies are usually full of clichés, but Mark Lawson broke the mould at the British Library last night.
"And now to present the prize," he began at the award of the biennial David Cohen Prize for a lifetime's work in literature, "I will welcome the Duchess of Cambridge." At which point the audience laughed, realising that another gong was heading Hilary Mantel's way. "Our judges refuse to say sorry for adding to her trophy shelf," said the Radio 4 Front Row presenter of the double Booker Prize winner.
However, author Duncan Fallowell tells me: "The convergence of current literary awards on to Hilary Mantel is indefensible. It demonstrates a shrivelled enslavement of view in our literary establishment which is more than absurd — it is truly alarming."

In a Publishers Weekly piece the indefatiguable David Rothman writes about Razing The Tower Of e-Babel. I agree with his main points – we have to make digital reading simple and compelling for end users, and the plethora of proprietary eBook formats has created consumer confusion. Where I disagree is that I see the answer at hand.
First, for paginated final-form "ePaper" there is no Tower of e-Babel – PDF is the answer, it's game over. PDF is highly proliferated, its ecosystem extends far beyond Adobe, even to Adobe's competitors. PDF is now very open, with PDF a full ISO standard. Microsoft is pushing their alternative XPS but (trying to put my Adobe hat aside) there is just no rational reason for the industry to reinvent PDF, much less to buy in to letting the monopolists in Redmond do it. So David's attempts to beat up on PDF are way off the mark: when pages is what you've got, PDF – open, widely adopted – is just the ticket. There are many kinds of digital editions of print content for which this kind of ePaper representation is, at least for now, the best that can be done. Highly composed technical books, textbooks, and childrens books for example. Or when you have scanned a physical book or a print-based workflow and it's simply not economic to do human-assisted OCR to get full text. David argues that eBooks aren't taking off; the fact that Pragmatic Programmers is making close to 40% of their revenue from selling PDF-based technical eBooks shows that in some segments, that's simply not true.
But as David is wont to point out, final-form paginated content is not always a great solution for digital editions. Paperbacks are not just shrunken version of a hardback's pages, and when reading on a small screen, or a larger font size is desired, users deserve pages formatted to the viewable area, not a "pan and zoom" experience. Many kinds of books are better represented in a reflow-centric representation, which doesn't preserve a particular composed page set but instead supports dynamic pagination. PDF can support reflow but that's not its strong suit. In the reflow-centric domain lies the Tower of eBabel and it's an acute problem – you have Microsoft .LIT, eReader.com PalmDoc, Mobipocket PDB, Sony BBEB, ZIP-packaged web pages, etc. It's uneconomic for content publishers to distribute in all these formats, and confusing as heck for consumers.
Yet this problem is now being rapidly and effectively addressed by the IDPF. Publishers, vendors (including Adobe), and library and educational groups have come together in IDPF to create the open standards that will end the Tower of eBabel.
David Rothman's main criticism of the IDPF work seems to be his desire that publishers stay out of this process and adopt a "Cargo Cult" mentality in which some nebulous set of "techies" (presumably David and his OpenReader cohorts) will do all the technical work specific to publishing reqiurements (later to be rubber-stamped by an IT-generalist group like OASIS), whilst publishers stay focused on "trade association matters" and just wait for the solutions to arrive.
Well, I think this is elitist, egocentric nonsense that hasn't a prayer of working. No doubt it's messier to have publishers, competing vendors, and nonprofits all coming together. True, not every publisher has industry-leading technologists on staff. But many do, and this kind of participative process is part of building successful (by which I mean broadly adopted) solutions. RSS for example with its many dialects is technically a mess – I wish there had been a few more techies involved in its creation – but it was created by and for the content publishing community and has gotten rapid adoption therein. OASIS is great as a general IT standards group (Adobe is a member) but its wheels grind slowly, and with a Board composed of the likes of GM, Oracle, SAP, and IBM OASIS can't be expected to put much focus and attention on catalyzing "Publishing 2.0".
I believe that we're all a lot better off with publishing industry working together in an architecture of participation, and IDPF is where this is happening now. The results of this, including the IDPF OCF container format standard, are already bearing fruit and the Tower of e-Babel that plagues reflow-centric eBook formats will start falling down over the coming months. There's always room for more contributors in the IDPF.
Meantime, when anyone tells you that their self-anointed "techies" are going to give you the answer ex cathedra, in the form of some new and incompatible eBook format of their own devising, ask them why – if they really want to help tear down the Tower of e-Babel – they seem to be headed on a path likely to just make it worse. I just don't get it, but then again I don't get why LInux is shooting itself in the foot with incompatible windowing toolkits. Perhaps – as with most cathedrals – it all comes down to egos. As for me – I hope to see you in the IDPF bazaar.
Publishing 2.0 and the Architecture of Participation
In a Publishers Weekly piece the indefatiguable David Rothman writes about Razing The Tower Of e-Babel. I agree with his main points – we have to make digital reading simple and compelling for end users, and the plethora of proprietary eBook formats has created consumer confusion. Where I disagree is that I see the answer at hand.

15 Year-Old Wichita Falls Girl Battling Cancer Inspires Zundy Jr. High Students
Since then she's been battling the disease, and a long the way inspiring many.
Last week in honor of Shaw Zundy Junior High started "Pasta for Pennies," a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
15 year old Ashtyn Shaw is in a familiar place, paying a visit to her old school, Zundy Jr. High.
But she's coming with a message.
"I wanted you'll to know that having cancer is hard. Just like any bad situation bad home life, or something like that. But the way that you look at it really effects the way the situation goes," she said.
For more than a week, students at Zundy have collected funds for "Pasta for Pennies."
A campaign benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, helping people like Ashtyn and her family.
Coordinators say it's because of Ashtyn they've been able to reach their fund raising goal.
"It had a purpose. because I know somebody who is 15 which is the age of a lot of these kids 14, 15, and it became very personal, and I wanted kids to know that this does happen to children," said Roberta Graham, Zundy Jr. High's Nurse.
"One of the waitresses came up to me and told me she liked my hair cut," said Ashtyn.
She visited classrooms explaining how humor has kept her spirits up.
She also explained that the reason she wears a mask is to protect herself from other diseases.
Then, she answered questions.
It's a role she wouldn't have imagined herself in, after first being diagnosed.
"I figured I would have support and everything but I never thought I would be here talking to classes and everything and they are all looking up to me in awe," she said.
Encouraging words to help these students to stay strong as they face the challenges of life.
In December Ashtyn had a scan which indicated her tumors were shrinking and the cancer dead.
She said she'll have another scan in March, and if the test shows the tumors are even smaller she will be considered in remission.

Student-created blogs
In his course on investments, management professor Zvi Bodie uses student-created blogs. Students are grouped into teams, with each team creating a blog of its own. The blogs allow students to report quickly on current events in the world of finance, which the course teaches them to analyze. Student teams have made their blogs publicly available and some of them can be viewed here and here.
Prof. Bodie's students use Google's free blogging software, Blogger (which provides URLs in the blogspot.com domain). Similar (BU-supported) student blog functions will be available in the new Blackboard Learn system (aka Blackboard 9.1), available now to faculty wishing to use it in Spring 2012 courses.
Piazza: social networking for courses
Professors in several departments at BU (including Computer Science, Chemistry, Physics, and Mechanical Engineering) often use the free social discussion tool Piazza in their courses. Piazza is free, and allows threaded discussions to happen in a user-friendly way. Students in these courses are encouraged to post their course-related questions on Piazza, significantly reducing emails that are directed to the course staff. Questions posted on Piazza are then answered by the course staff, or, in many cases, by other students. Questions posed in these courses have ranged from logistical issues ("Which lab are we doing this week?") to conceptual issues from students grappling with the material ("I tried solving problem 3 this way, but it didn't work – can someone point me in the right direction?") The latter are particularly good at drawing multiple students into the discussion.
Piazza can help you keep on top of what's going on in your course, while at the same time reducing the amount of time you spend responding to students over email. Piazza posts can be read on the web site, whose features make it easy to see which posts need an instructor's attention. They can also be viewed and responded to through the Piazza app on your favorite mobile device. You can also choose to get updates from Piazza via email. BU IS&T does not offer support for Piazza, but it is an interesting option for professors who feel comfortable exploring free online teaching tools.
BU Today: Read & Write GOLD for learning disabilities
Today's issue of BU Today features an article highlighting Read & Write GOLD, literacy software that helps students with reading, writing, research, and organization. The software is available to the BU community for free download via TechWeb. It is especially helpful for students with learning disabilities but can be useful for anyone, especially in language-learning classes. See the article for more about how BU got Read & Write GOLD and what it can do for students.
New featured ePortfolio from CAS Writing Program
At the top of the e-Portfolios page in Digication, you'll find a row of boxes labelled "Featured e-Portfolios". These are portfolios we have selected as strong and effective examples of what ePortfolios can do. As well as the portfolio about portfolios, they have so far included a professional portfolio from a Sargent College student, an interdisciplinary portfolio from a CGS student, and portfolios for teaching purposes from SED's Colby Young and the School of Public Health's James Wolff.
Today, we're adding a newly featured portfolio from Winnie Hsieh, created for a CAS Writing Program course. Many courses in the Writing Program use ePortfolios to allow students to view their writing over the course of the semester and reflect on it. Hsieh's course section involved writing three papers and scaffolding the working process of writing each paper. In her illustrated portfolio you can find her reflecting on the process of becoming a successful writer.

Does anyone know who, besides the Red Cross, is providing foodservice for the displaced people from Sandy? I'm in between jobs and would like to help cook but don't know who to contact.

Just ideas- how about figuring out what to do with those pumpkins roast some seeds and more..
I'd contact City Harvest.
Local soup kitchens, I bet are understaffed too and may need your expertise to figure out what to do with non standard donations that could be rolling in.
Two of New York City's largest food charities have stepped up to the plate in an effort to bring food to the citizens of a damaged city in the process of rebuilding. Citymeals-on-Wheels, the charity co-founded by James Beard and granddame of New York City food culture Gael Greene, has made a call for volunteers — especially those with cars. The charity has already delivered nearly 8,400 three-meal emergency boxes since Saturday, and Greene tweeted earlier, "Our exec director climbed 12 flights to bring 3 boxes of food 2 ailing elderly trapped in a SRO w/no power."
City Harvest, another venerable charity, posted a photo to their Facebook page of two Armata Wholesalers carrying a box of cabbage. The produce company donated nearly 25,000 pounds of carrots, spinach, squash, and cabbage to help with relief efforts. Last week the organization received 39,000 pounds of pumpkins.
In other relief news, Kellogg Co. donated $500,000 to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts via the American Red Cross and Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger-relief charity.

That's exciting! I think it's great that you want to volunteer. I love adventure cooking and volunteering is a great way to do it.
On this short a notice you might end up helping with a church group or something. Having a CPR card and or a basic first aid card helps a lot and you can get both those in a day (tomorrow, for example). Latter, contact you state fire fighters acadimy for info to get a basic fire-fighters certificate - all this stuff looks great on your "volunteer's resume".
Good luck
