Distinguished Teacher
"Geography is such a broad field. It is not about what is where – that's the concern of the postal service. It is about peoples and environments, natural and man-made, and their interaction in a constantly changing world."
Growing up in the former Soviet Union, Professor of Geography Olga Medvedkov routinely felt the fear around her associated with any challenge to mainstream thinking. The daughter of physician parents, she witnessed her mother's and father's reluctance to question the regime, knowing full well that other relatives had died earlier in Stalin's purges.
"The Soviet brainwashing machine was working from the school on up," Medvedkov says. "No critical thinking was allowed; everybody had to think alike, following the Communist Party line. Teachers were annoyed by my questions. It was dangerous to think differently."
Within those dogmatic and propagandistic confines, however, Medvedkov found her voice, one of dissidence and hope, and one that has inspired students across generations to "think differently" about the world and their role in it. "I know that 'critical thinking' sounds like an overused term to many people, but not to me," Medvedkov says. "My generation and the generations of my parents and grandparents were deprived of such a luxury – to think freely and critically. I hope that my prior experience – life behind the Iron Curtain and the break away from it – allows me to stress to my students how important personal freedom is and that it comes with freedom of thought and speech without fear of reprisal."
Looking at her students' success in the field of geography, Medvedkov clearly has accomplished all that and more, so much so that her students recently nominated her for Wittenberg's top faculty prize, the Alumni Association Award for Distinguished Teaching. Medvedkov learned of the news while on a Fulbright Award at Tbilisi State University in the country of Georgia.
"It was 2 a.m. in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, when I was awakened by a Skype call from Wittenberg colleagues," she recalls. "At first I did not comprehend it all, being only partly awake, and it took me a couple of minutes to understand what it was all about. I felt overwhelmed and humbled. It is the biggest honor a professor may receive because it is coming from recommendations of present and past students."
Intent on helping students understand that geography means more than maps, Medvedkov has embraced a strategic vision for her field, founded upon technological innovation and passionate teaching.
"Geography is such a broad field," she says. "It is not about what is where – that's the concern of the postal service. It is about peoples and environments, natural and man-made, and their interaction in a constantly changing world. Geography is the common denominator that organizes spatially our neighborhoods, societies, and world. It is a very dynamic field, particularly with the new digital technology that has reshaped it dramatically."
Her expertise in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) serves as one example of her forward-thinking attitude. In addition to introducing students to the foundations of her discipline, Medvedkov trains students to use GIS tools to solve real-world problems. Using Springfield's own urban environment as a living laboratory, Medvedkov's students have mapped everything from lead-painted houses in area neighborhoods and crime hot spots in Clark County to the most recent undertaking, a study of the foreclosure crisis in the city.
"This last study brought the city a $6 million grant for neighborhood stabilization," Medvedkov says. "These types of applied classes excite me and my students the most."
While in Georgia, Medvedkov is continuing to "think differently," seeking out more cutting-edge technology to enhance her students' understanding and expand her teaching repertoire.
"I want to teach a WikiGIS course," she explains. "It is an open source GIS course that builds communities around it, and I am experimenting with it in Georgia right now, where I am teaching a GIS class for master's degree students at Tbilisi State University. As a class, we are collaborating with a newly developed NGO, called Open Source Caucasus Map, where the volunteers are trained in mapping to contribute to a common geographical database where information is currently lacking. It is Geo-Wikipedia."
In the Springfield context, Medvedkov envisions this type of a project working in a specific neighborhood, where the residents serve as active participants not only in sharing their ideas but applying them in a digital form, all while working together with students.
"It is yet a higher level of interaction between Wittenberg and the community," she says. "Wittenberg students are smart and motivated, but what distinguishes them most is their willingness to be engaged, to be a part of something bigger than a regular class, to extend their skills and their hearts beyond the 'borders' of the university." The same can be said of Medvedkov whose love of teaching and lifelong learning found a home at Wittenberg when she joined the faculty full-time in 1989.
"I think I am a very lucky person to teach at such a wonderful school as Wittenberg, to express my ideas freely, to engage students in projects beyond their classrooms, to expose them to the community and the world, and to collaborate with my colleagues many of whom have become my close friends.
"In Russia, very few people dared to express opinions that deviated from a prescribed line; those who did were the dissidents, and their actions and ideas influenced my life just as my students influence me daily. That is why I always tell my students to think critically and stay engaged, and it's also why I fell in love with Wittenberg."

text: LAHORE - Fortress Stadium was jam-packed enthralled by an impressive band display by Mehteran, a traditional Turkish military band at Lahore Cantonment. The tilting tunes, amidst drum beat and an immaculate performance in a Crescent and Star formation by Mehteran Band captivated the large audience. The stadium burst out of its seams as spectators gave a standing ovation when the Turkish band played the tune of "Jeeway Jeeway Pakistan" as an expression of solidarity with Pakistani nation. Acting Commander Lahore Corps, Major General Bilal Akbar and Brigadier Necdet Tuna of Turkish army were the Chief guests. The participants of Mehteran Band were presented souvenirs as a token of remembrance.Mehter is considered as the oldest military band of the world and pioneers of military music. The clothing of Mehter has distinct characteristics and beauty with regard to its color and cut. The instruments used are shrill pipe, pipe, kos drum, kettle drum, bell and human voice.At the start of the display a band sergeant stepped forward and called 'Attention Mehterbasi Aga, it is time for happiness and fun'. The concert then began with Mehterbasi shouting 'Haydi Ya Allah' – Attention lets go'. The Mehter band members formed a crescent to perform, and played standing except for the nakkare players, who sat crosslegged at the right hand tip of crescent, followed anti-clockwise by the zurnas, bass drums, cymbals and trumpets. While marching, the band members paused every three steps and turned to right and left in salutation, in a rhythm set by the drums and chanted 'Rahim Allah, Kerim Allah' (Merciful God, Gracious God). The band was led by Major Murad a Turkish Army officer.The Ottomans Mehter music, which accompanied the Ottomans Army in battle, is part of folk culture all over Turkey. It is considered as a symbol of sovereignty, independence and heroism of Turk Nation. Its ardent sound during battle instilled the soldiers with strength and courage. The rousing songs and crashing sound of the great Kos Drums were at the same time capable of unnerving and demoralising the enemy on the brink of battle. The Mehter band was established in 1299 AD. The band has its own distinctive marching step, whose rhythm is that of words 'Gracious God is Good - God is compassionate'. In former centuries the Mehter band used to play even at night on the battlefield to prevent the camp guards from falling asleep. They also performed during peace time to cheer up the nation through their stirring music. The Mehter band display is part of cultural exchange programme between the two brotherly countries of Turkey and Pakistan. This relationship of fraternity is based on commonalities of faith, history, culture and heritage blended over a thousand years. Both countries have a history of cooperation in the field of trade, communications, culture and defence.Meanwhile the Turkish military band Mehteran also offered special performance with melodious tunes at the Al-Hamra Cultural Complex on Saturday. Major Murat Igli was the commander of the band while Deniz Ergdn performed as music conductor for the guest band. This band was invited especially from Turkey to make Pakistan aware of key Turkish music traditions. The band played various military tunes besides presenting a Pakistan national song 'Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan' with quite expertise. The 70-member band was impressed the crowd with their music and colourful dresses. A large number of families along students attended the ceremony. Earlier, Provincial Minister for Sports Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan and Director General Sports Board Punjab (SBP) Usman Anwar addressed the ceremony and highlighted the significance of friendship between Pakistan and Turkey. Later, the sports minister and the DG SBP presented a souvenir to Brig Toda of the guest band, who in return, presented a souvenir to the provincial minister from the Turkish Army.This news was published in The Nation newspaper.

Luther's End
Is the Reformation Over? An Evangelical Assessment of Contemporary Roman
reviewed by Carl E. Olson
Nearly half-way into Is the Reformation Over? the authors assert that the "most serious differences" between Catholics and Evangelicals today are not found in Marian beliefs, sacraments, the communion of saints, or views about justification, but are "rooted in ecclesiology, contrasting versions of what the church is and how it functions."
This point is reiterated even more directly forty pages later: "If Christ and his church are one, then a great deal of Catholic doctrine simply follows naturally. In a word, ecclesiology represents the crucial difference between evangelicals and Catholics."
This belief shapes Is The Reformation Over? and is, I think—I write as a Catholic—its most important contribution to Catholic-Evangelical relations.
The question posed by the title "appears straightforward," write the authors, but "is not by any means a question to be answered simply." They "do not propose a final, universal, dogmatic assessment of Roman Catholicism," but an assessment made through "the classic ideals of the Protestant Reformation to measure contemporary Catholic Christianity," including sola Scriptura, sola fide, and the priesthood of all believers.
This raises difficult questions: To what degree are American Evangelicals true heirs of the Protestant Reformation? How comfortable would Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli be in mostEvangelical churches today? And, given the diverse and fragmented nature of Evangelicalism (a term nearly as slippery as "liberal" and "conservative"), can an "Evangelical assessment" even be made of Catholicism?
These counter-questions are not so much critical as practical, highlighting the difficult task taken on by Noll and Nystrom. To their credit, they—Noll, who now teaches at Notre Dame after a long career at Wheaton College, and Nystrom, a prolific freelance writer—examine deep and difficult matters with care and moderation, only occasionally stumbling when attempting to summarize positions or arguments that defy short summary.
Is the Reformation Over? is most successful as a systematic, historical documentation of a complicated and often contentious relationship. This is to be expected of Noll, whose outstanding works of church history are marked by careful research and well-measured opinions. And it is not surprising that he would write such a book: Ten years ago he was a prominent Evangelical endorser of "Evangelicals and Catholics Together" (ECT).
The End of the War
The book begins with the ecumenical efforts of Billy Graham and Pope John Paul II, the often unnoticed grassroots efforts of Catholic and Protestant lay people, and recent advances in Evangelical relations with the Vatican, before going into the history of the "Evangelical-Catholic polemic," showing that well into the 1950s it appeared unshakeable, although "signs of peace" did exist during that lengthy "time of war."
Four major events changed this, the authors argue: the Second Vatican Council, the charismatic movement, shifts in the political-social climate—-including the election of John F.Kennedy and an emerging (if uneasy) Catholic-Evangelical alliance on moral issues—and the growth of "vigorous self-criticism" among Evangelicals about their history and theological identity. The authors are correct in pointing out that Vatican II was the most important of these events.
But they overlook, I think, the fact that the council was not only Christo-centric but ecclessio-centric. It flowed from a revitalized Christo-centrism and an ever-deepening awareness that the church has the task "of bringing all men to full union with Christ."
This dual (and unified) emphasis was expressed in one of the council's key documents, Lumen Gentium, the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, which stated in the midst of a lengthy biblical reflection on the church that "through the Church, we abide in Christ, without whom we can do nothing (John 15:1–5)."
Also overlooked is the fact that the council's ecumenical thrust did not simply involve producing certain documents, but writing them using biblical and patristic language that facilitated constructive dialogue with Protestants and Orthodox, neither of whom were comfortable with neo-Thomisticformulations.
After summarizing and assessing the changes in ecumenical relations between Catholics and Protestants since the 1960s, which includes providing overviews of the Catholic dialogues with Protestant denominations and summaries of the doctrinal issues they addressed (extended attention is given to the issue of justification), the authors offer an intriguing assessment of the Catechism of the Catholic Church: Here the authors' opinions reveal just how differently an Evangelical can read the Catechism compared to a Catholic.
"The Catechism," write the authors, is "a treat," and Evangelical readers will "find themselves (as we have done) stopping to pray." However, it is not "an evangelical document."
The chapter concludes with a lengthy section on "Catholics and the Church," which ends with this lament: "Why do we [Evangelicals] not possess such a thorough, clear, and God--centered account of our faith as the Catechism offers to Roman Catholics?"
The historical section of the book ends with a summary of the ECT project and the antagonism it provoked in certain Evangelical circles, a discussion of critics of recent ecumenical endeavors, and the stories of several Evangelicals who have become Catholic.
The Central Issue
Is the Reformation Over? ends with lively analyses of the historical and political situation and the theological issues still being discussed (and, in many cases, strongly disputed), including the role of Mary, the sacraments, and the priesthood.
The theological discussion will raise the eyebrows of Catholics, who believe that their distinctive doctrines have biblical and historical roots. For example, a short section on clerical celibacy ignores the biblical, theological, and historical arguments for this discipline and flatly concludes that "priests are celibate because the church says so. No other reason is needed."
The book would have benefited from some references to Catholic-Orthodox and Evangelical-Orthodox dialogues. Those references would have posed the difficult but necessary question of why the early forms of Christianity are in such close agreement about liturgy, sacraments, soteriology, Mary, the ordained priesthood, and ecclesiology.
This would have further reinforced the authors' assertion that ecclesiology is the central issue dividing Christians in the twenty-first century. The authors conclude, "If it is true that justification is the article on which the church stands or falls, then the Reformation is over." If that is true, their book strongly suggests that the pressing question is now this: Upon what does the Evangelical understanding of the church stand or fall?
Carl E. Olson is the author of Will Catholics Be ?Left Behind?? (Ignatius), and co-author, with Sandra Miesel, of The Da Vinci Hoax (Ignatius).

Experiencing American Life AbroadPosted by lovett under Anna L. Fa08
[4] Comments | show comments » | « hide comments
With the recent election and financial crisis, I feel like I am missing out on a very important point in American history. I guess "missing out" is not the correct terminology because it is more like I am very far removed from the epicenter. I still feel the shock value of what is happening in America, but I don't necessarily experience it in real time.
On one hand, it is almost a blessing. Not having CNN playing in the cafeteria or more than one popular newspaper printed in English has allowed me to live in blissful ignorance of the rankling of politicians leading up to Election Day. On the other hand, on Election Day I would have killed to be back in America. Instead I went to an expatriate café that was having an election party for Obama supporters. The owners had promised that if Obama won, everybody would receive a free beer. The café was absolutely packed. Almost everybody there was a student skipping class (the polls closed in the late morning China time) to watch the polls return on live TV. Obviously, most of them were Obama supporters (which includes Democrats and Republicans), but there were a couple McCain Republicans in the mix as well (really self-imposed torture I believe). Also there were several other foreign students who came to watch. (A TV crew from Finland was also there, so look out for me on Finnish TV!!!) Even though I was in China, in that café I felt like we created a little piece of America just for that morning. Today in class, my Chinese teacher shared her thoughts that the choice for Obama was good, because he is black. Some Americans in the class tried to explain why that isn't/shouldn't be a factor in politics, but since I'm sure we can't even find a consensus on that feeling using English, it was pretty much a lost cause to try and start the debate using Chinese. Whatever anybody's feelings on that matter are, the truth is that most foreigners see Obama's election as significant mainly because of his race. My teacher today tried to explain that it was in the interest of many countries, because it shows that a leading world power can have a minority as their leader. Although China is not diverse in the sense that it is not home to several races, China does have over fifty minority groups, each with their own distinct culture. Like any minority group, there is the same struggle against prejudice and the inherent disadvantage that comes with not being part of the majority. To see that the world's leading power has chosen a minority to lead them is something people all over the world can relate to and understand its significance. All I can say is that I have never been so proud to be an American as when I was crammed in that room, drinking Chinese beer, and celebrating something only a democracy can afford: my right to choose a leader. I'm sure some of my relatives aren't really enjoying this paragraph, so I will move on to my perspective of the financial crisis. However, the historian in me compels me to share this factoid: During Obama's presidency, America will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Moving along…
I must admit that my perspective on the financial crisis is very limited. I was a little behind on the news, so I basically missed the whole debate in Congress about what steps the government should take to lessen the impact and solve the problem. I have attended a lecture given by Andrei Schleifer, a professor from Harvard who came to speak to Beijing University's business school. Since the audience was Chinese students, Professor Scheifer explained very simply the American economy, which was great because my capacity to understand economics is very limited. The most interesting thing about the talk was Scheifer's last PowerPoint slide, which asked the question: Is this the end of America's market economy? It was even obvious to me, the economics dunce that I am, that the answer was no, but I realized that I had to think about the audience he was addressing. After all, it has only been within the past three decades that China's economy has shifted towards a market economy.
I feel like being abroad has very much removed me (for better or for worse) from the constant and daily reminder of the severity of this crisis. One time, a Chinese student once came up to me and asked me if I was "afraid for my life." In truth, the meaning of his question was lost in translation, but it made me realize just how easily it is to slip into a state of ignorance about the problems facing my country when I am abroad. The thing about the crisis I have been discussing the most lately is the sharp decline in American consumerism. As a result, the demand for exports from China is low, which has caused several factories in China to shut down, putting several hundreds of thousands of Chinese out of work. Since finding work is hard enough in China, the loss of these jobs is a big concern among the Chinese. I guess in the months to come there will be more concerns in China as the effects of the American financial crisis continue to shake the world economy.
I guess I will wrap this up in saying that one thing I notice about my personal analysis and opinions on the current events in America are that I now consider how these events not only affect America, but China as well. When I discuss American issues with my Chinese friends (or other foreign friends) I always have a small sort of reality check that indeed I have a very American centered point of view. You don't realize there is such a thing until you are confronted with the Chinese point of view. My stay in China has certainly opened my eyes up to new perspectives and a great awareness for how American issues have a global effect.

Many therapists specialize in working with young children--using play therapy, for example, and I admire the work that they do. But my own approach is to hypothesize that when a child is not doing well, the problem likely resides with the parents. Thus I coach the parents to be firm and consistent. But I also coach them to work together, if they can--since child problems, seen in the context of divorcing parents, for example, might actually be a solution in that the problem is the only thing that brings the parents together as they seek to deal with the child. So resolving the parents' issues often is the key. The child cannot be made (however unintentionally) responsible for family unity.

I work with children as young as two or three years of age if they are verbal. In addition, I work with the family system to make the changes needed to help them work as a family unit or team. Play therapy is the avenue that allows children to express themselves or to work through situations or issues that are creating stress for the child. Hands-on activities, therapeutic games, exercises, puppets, roleplays, sandtray, and bilbliotherapy are some of the strategies I use to help the child find healing, to help them learn to make good choices, and to be effective problem-solvers and leaders.

Day 1: Managua - Granada (Nicaragua).
In the morning you meet with your guide at the reception of your hotel and drive towards Granada. En route we visit the Volcano Masaya National Park, Nicaragua's first and biggest national park. The area comprises two volcanoes and five craters. Due to various eruptions the Spaniards feared the volcanoes. They baptized the active volcano "The Mouth of Hell" and planted a cross on the crater lip in order to exorcise the devil. From the vantage point at the crater you enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view. At fair weather, you might see the Laguna de Apoyo, the Lake Nicaragua and the city of Granada. Later we continue to Granada. The oldest colonial town in Nicaragua is said to be one of the most beautiful Central American towns. 2 overnights in Granada.
Day 2: Granada.
Granada offers many interesting buildings from the colonial era. We spend the day touring the historic centre. We pass by old colonial houses and important buildings like the San Francisco Convent or Guadeloupe Church. Stroll over the Plaza Central and get carried away by the vivid city life. Many alternative excursions can be organized for this day, for example a visit of Volcano Mombacho or a boat tour to the Granada Islets, located amidst Lake Nicaragua. The 365 islets were formed by an eruption of Mombacho Volcano thousands of years ago, when great parts of the volcanic cone were thrown into the lake. The islets differ in size between a hundred square metres and over one hundred hectares. Most of the islets are covered with rich vegetation and form a habitat for many bird species.
Day 3: Granada - León.
Today we drive in a northward direction along the Lake Managua to Granada. We visit the Ruins of León Viejo, one of the oldest Spanish colonial settlements in the Americas. The town was founded in 1524 and abandoned after an earthquake in 1610. As it didn't develop, but fell down in ruins, it is one of the few towns from the 16th century, which are preserved intact and unaltered by subsequent rebuilding. The ruins preserve in a unique way the form and nature of early Spanish settlements in the Americas adapting European architectural and planning concepts to the material potential of another region. Later we visit the city centre of León with its famous cathedral, built between 1747 and 1814. It is the largest cathedral in Central America and one of the best known in the Americas. Overnight in León.
Day 4: León - Tegucigalpa (Honduras).
Early in the morning we leave León towards the Honduran border. After a scenic drive, we reach Tegucigalpa in the afternoon. Honduras' capital is located at 1.100 above sea level in a valley surrounded by mountain ranges. The origin of Tegucigalpa dates back to the 16th century and is linked to the discovery of silver deposits in the surrounding areas. This colonial and mining past is still palpable in the historic centre. Depending on how much time we need at the border to deal with the border crossing formalities, we might have time for a short tour through the city centre. 2 overnights in Tegucigalpa.
Day 5: Tegucigalpa - Comayagua - Lake Yojoa - Cerro Azul Meambar.
We drive to Honduras' biggest lake, Lago de Yojoa. On the way, we visit the ancient capital Comayagua with its colonial heritage and the small historic museum. The town's church houses one of the oldest clocks in America, which dates from AD 1100. The region around Lake Yojoa is a birdwatcher's paradise. The wetlands attract the greatest concentration of birds in the country. About 450 of the 700 species registered in Honduras can be found around this lake. We visit the impressive Pulhapanzak Waterfall before driving up to the Cerro Azul Meambar National Park. The visitor's centre, where we spend the following night, is located at 850 m a.s.l. at the entrance to the national park and the unspoiled rain forest.
Day 6: Cerro Azul Meambar - San Pedro Sula - Copán Ruinas.
The national park works as a retreating area for a lot of species, because of increased human activities around the Lake. Jaguars, Ocelots, Coatis, Tapir and Howler Monkeys are only a few of the 50 mammal species that live in the park. On an early hiking tour we explore the magnificent tropical forest types before transferring to Honduras' second largest city and economic centre San Pedro Sula. We visit the small anthropological museum and the colourful Guamilito market where vegetables, fruits, meat, spices, and all kinds of regional handcraft like wooden, straw and leather goods are offered. Afterwards we continue to Copán Ruinas, where we check in our hotel, located in the centre of the village. The rest of the afternoon is left free to enjoy and explore the picturesque village. 2 overnights in Copan Ruinas.
Day 7: Copán Ruinas.
After breakfast we walk to the nearby Archaeological Park of Copán Ruins, which consists of two main sites: the ruins and the sepulchres. At its height (from 200 to 900 A.D.) Copán had about 24,000 inhabitants. It wasn't one of the largest Mayan cities. However, it was the principal cultural centre of the Maya region due to its advanced development of sculpture, astronomy, and hieroglyphic writing. The sculptures and stelaes are among the most artistic of all Mayan sites. The main site is famous for the Hieroglyphic Stairway, which is 30 m long and 10 m high. The lengthy inscription on the Hieroglyphic Stairway is of considerable historical significance. Later we visit the sepulchres, a residential and burial site of the Mayan nobles located at about 2 km from the main group.
Day 8: Copán Ruinas - Antigua (Guatemala).
The Maya developed into the New World's most sophisticated ancient civilization, a society of scientists, skilled architects and sculptors, fierce warriors and a ruling class that raised enormous temples to honour the lives and achievements of their kings. Representing the southeast limit to the spread of the Maya world, the city-state of Copán became the Maya's crowning artistic achievement, the cultural apex of the Maya civilization. Leader among all Mayan cities in terms of quantity and quality of stone sculpture, it has been dubbed the Athens of the New World. Early in the morning we leave the small, picturesque town, cross the nearby border and transfer through the Motagua valley to Antigua Guatemala. 2 overnights in Antigua
Day 9: Antigua.
Antigua lies nestled between three volcanoes that are clearly visible over the red tile roofs and church bell towers. Founded in the 16th century as Santiago de Guatemala, Antigua was the seat of the Spanish colonial government for the Kingdom of Guatemala. After a severe earthquake in 1773, which damaged great parts of the town, the capital was moved to Guatemala City. In 1979 Antigua was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage list as an outstanding example of preserved colonial architecture and of cultural value. Until today the principal monuments built before the earthquake are preserved as ruins. Much of the architecture today dates from the 17th and 18th centuries. During our tour we visit the Main Square, the Cathedral, the Capuchinas Convent, the churches San Francisco and La Merced as well as other buildings and colonial spots.
Day 10: Antigua - Guatemala City.
In the morning we drive to Guatemala City. With 4.1 million people living in the metropolitan area, Guatemala City is the largest urban agglomeration in Central America. Although it is often describes as noisy and polluted (the same can be said of other big cities all over the world), it is at the same time a fascinating city with excellent dining and entertainment options as well as beautiful surroundings. Bordered by a lake, forested mountains, and four volcanoes, it has its own special charm. And it is the real cultural capital of Guatemala - the writers, the thinkers, the artists mostly live and work here. If there is time, we tour Guatemala's capital before we transfer to the airport in time for your international departure flight. End of program.
- For a small additional charge we transfer you back to San Pedro Sula.
- You can book this tour in the opposite direction without additional costs. You can also extend or shorten it or propose program changes.
- A great option to extend the tour is a stay at the beautiful Lake Atitlan or a visit to the Mayan ruins of Tikal.

Bob, could you look at this? Thanks.
Comment 2•
14 years ago
Andreas, you're suggesting that it's OK for the digest to be longer than a SHA1 digest. That violates the FIPS spec. In what situation is it desirable to do that? I'm marking this P2, but I'm not sure it's valid.
Comment 3•
14 years ago
Nelson, I am writing from the perspective of a generic PKCS#11 application. It may not know that DSA always produces a 40 byte signature. Assume it calls C_SignFinal() for all algorithms with a generously sized buffer (e.g. 2k) and looks at the actual length returned by C_SignFinal(). The PKCS#11 spec seems to imply that larger than necessary buffers are ok. I do not know about the FIPS requirements. Still, note that I am not suggesting to change the output that DSA produces, which would continue to be always 40 bytes long. The only change would be that DSA also produces output if the buffer is larger than 40 bytes.
Comment 4•
14 years ago
The fips checks should be on the outputted buffer, not on the input buffer size. The application (including NSS) should be able to supply any buffer larger than the requested amount. The code will only return the required amount. The check is correct for Verify, because both input parameters are user supplied signatures and hash functions, but for Sign, the check should be that the buffer is large enough, then set the buffer length to the size of a DSA signature. (NOTE the attached patch only does the first step, without setting signature->len to the correct value the given test code would produce the wrong out put (it would produce a 41 byte signature in with the 41st byte is random garbage). bob
Comment 5•
14 years ago
I somehow misread Andreas's patch as suggesting a change to the test on digest->len rather than on signature->len. As Bob pointed out in the comment above, the proposed change doesn't complete the job. The signature length would be wrong after the operation finishes. And the error returned for a too small buffer is still wrong. IMO, softoken, not freebl, needs to check the length of the buffer, and return CKR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL if it's too small, and set the output length to the proper value, and invoke the freebl DSA function to do the actual signing. If softoken is validating its inputs, there will be no need to change freebl's DSA code. Freebl functions don't set CKR error codes. The sanity tests done by freebl functions on their inputs should not be used as a substitute for the tests required by PKCS 11, IMO.

The Milwaukee Brewers have eliminated their managerial candidate pool to four candidates, and expect to finalize their decision in the next couple of days, owner Mark Attanasio said Saturday.
The Brewers final four candidates are ESPN analyst Bobby Valentine, bench coach Ron Roeniecke of the Los Angeles Angels and bench coach Joey Cora of the Chicago White Sox, and special assistant Bob Melvin of the New York Mets. Although Valentine appears to be the favorite, Attanasio says all four remain under consideration.
"[GM] Doug Melvin, [assistant GM] Gord Ash and myself will work throughout the weekend,'' Attanasio said, "and hope to reach a finalize a decision in the next couple of days. We're very focused in making the right decision here.''

More than 3.1 million Australians were estimated to be affected by arthritis in 2007-08, according to a report released today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
The report, A snapshot of arthritis in Australia 2010, found that the prevalence of arthritis increased from 13.6% in 2001 to 15.2% in 2007-08.
'This increase can be largely attributed to Australia's ageing population,' said Dr Naila Rahman, of the AIHW's National Centre for Monitoring Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Conditions.
'The rate of arthritis increases with age, especially after the age of 45, and is highest among those aged over 75 years. An older population means a higher prevalence of the disease.'
Among these older groups, women make up a substantially higher proportion of sufferers.
'Overall, arthritis is seen mostly in women. However, in the younger age group-those aged between 22 and 44 years-it is slightly more common in men,' Dr Rahman said.
Other factors, such as socioeconomic status, were also found to affect the prevalence of the disease.
'Arthritis occurs less frequently among those living in high socioeconomic areas, compared to Australians living in relatively low socioeconomic areas,' Dr Rahman said.
'A regional difference was also found, with the lowest rates of arthritis in major cities, and inner regional areas recording the highest prevalence.'
Indigenous Australians were also found to have a higher prevalence of arthritis than other Australians.
There are over 100 types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis the most common, affecting 1.6 million and 428,000 Australians respectively.
'All types of arthritis can severely damage joints, but osteoarthritis in particular damages large joints such as the knee and hip,' Dr Rahman said.
'Osteoarthritis is also the major factor underlying joint replacements, most notably of the knee or hip,' she said.
Between 2000-01 and 2007-08, the number of knee replacements increased by 67%, while hip replacements increased by 40% over the same period.
Arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions accounted for around $4 billion in health expenditure in 2004-05. Arthritis is also the eighth most frequently managed problem by general practitioners in Australia.

OPEC summit: Nigeria Obasanjo:talks on stability of oil markets
Olusegun Obasanjo President of Nigeria said Tuesday that in the meetings planned this week in OPEC Summit that we will talk on "how will we assure the stability of the price of oil."
OPEC heads of state are meeting the second time in the 40 years of the organization in Caracas to reinforce the organization role and commemorate the group's 40th anniversary.
The II OPEC Summit begun with a meeting of oil, finance and foreign ministers today and will continue with a press conference Tuesday evening.
On Friday the United States decided it would release 30 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in in order to push prices down .
However it is not expected to discuss output policy this week. OPEC agreed Sept. 10 to raise output 800,000 barrels per day from Oct. 1.

and Surrey, BROWNS (originally from Herrick Essex &
Suffolk)some family members immigrated to Canada.
My grandmother is the main reason for joining this

John EDward Robson, 30, born London Rotherhithe,
Commercial Clerk.
Gertrude Hannah Clay, 30, born London Old Ford
Margaret, 1m, born Ilford, Essex. (my grandmother)
At the end of June my niece will be travelling to
England and wondering if SKS would look up this census

Calendrical calculation is the unusual ability to name days of the week for dates in the past and sometimes the future. Previous investigations of this skill have concerned savants, people with pervasive developmental disorders or general intellectual impairment. This research has yielded a hypothesis about how calendrical skills develop but no direct evidence. This study attempts to learn about the development of savant skills by investigating the development of calendrical skills in two boys (aged 5 and 6) along with more general cognitive and social assessments. Consistent with the hypothesis, they initially demonstrated knowledge of regularities but limited range and accuracy in answering date questions and they were slower than many adult savants. At follow up, neither had improved their calendrical skills and they were less willing to answer date questions. Possibly this is because, unlike savants, they had developed interests more commonly shared by their peers and they now received praise for more conventional achievements.

If you ask me, there are some things worth fighting for. Hope, life, happiness . . . I would die for these things. How far would I go to get these things? No farther than necessary, but as far as I must.
I guess it's important to remember that every coin has two sides. If you live for nothing, then you'll die for nothing. If you don't fight for what's yours, well, then you'll lose it. I'm not saying to go beat up the guy who stole your girlfriend, I'm saying that when a someone does steal what means the most to you, you can either roll over and die, or you can go and get it back. I'm a fan of the latter option.
It always seems so much easier to just give in, though. I guess in a way it is. I mean, is it easier to give up than to fight for what's yours? Yeah. But it's far more rewarding to hold on to what you love no matter what.
There may come a time, when you're staring down the
barrel of a .45, and in one hand you'll hold your life, and in the
other you'll hold your heart. Then, you'll have to choose: will
you die for something, or will you live for nothing?

Recycled Magazines Collage Art
The New York-born, but now Melbourne-based commercial designer takes old magazines, labels and other materials and recycles them into impressive collage artworks. He hand rips the magazines, maps or schematics and puts them together randomly to create impressive collages focused mostly on women and female fashion.
Gores starts the process by having a photo shoot and editing his shots digitally. Gores then tears up recycled magazines, labels, and other found materials. Then, Gores puts the torn-up material onto the canvas. The end result is a jumbled-looking portrait laden with detail. Looking closely at his work, you will find quotes, numbers, people, signs, and other images.
His list of clients includes Lucasfilm, U2, Sublime, the NFL, ESPN, Major League Baseball, and Reebok. Currently, he is working on five of his signature collage pieces for the new Orlando Magic arena, and some other works of art for New Contemporary Movement exhibition at the London Miles Gallery.
Derek Gores:
Derek has gained national attention for his collage portrait series, recycling magazines, labels, and found materials to create the works on canvas. The series showcases Gores' contrasting interests in the natural beauty of the figure, the angular design aesthetics of fashion (and machinery), and a fearless sense of play.
A successful commercial designer and illustrator for 15 years, clients include ESPN, Lenny Kravitz, Lucasfilm, Kings of Leon, U2, NASCAR, Adidas, Madonna, Harley Davidson, 321 Agency, Van Halen, the National Football League, LiveNation, SEIU, Love Haight Apparel, and JCPenney.
Derek lives and works in Melbourne, Florida, surrounded by the intellect and culture of the Space Coast.

Carmine Morro? Ship Manifest???
Hi. My GG Grandfather was born in Italy possibly Avellina in 1885. He moved to America sometime between 1887-1895. His mother died around two years after they moved to America, so he was put in an orphanage until his biological father took him out roughly just about before the 1900 census was taken. His name was Carmine Morro and his dads name may have been Anthony but its just a hunch, and he arrived in Brooklyn or Manhatten. If you can find a ship manifest, natrilization card, 1900 census or orphanage record that would be great. The orphange was probably italian or catholic. Thank you

Don't let it keep you down
When I left my ex in
May of 2001, it was tough. I had little to no money, had
never lived on my own before, was scared to death of
being alone and because of that fact, had gotten myself
wrapped up in yet another doomed relationship almost
immediately. The guy was a loser. Only I couldn't see it
because he was SO good looking and "fun" to be with. I
guess after 10 years of marriage I was ready for some
fun and I never took into account the damage that can
happen when you're blinded by raging hormones. We
spent the weekends that he'd come to visit riding on his
motorcycle and having endless sex. Then one day while I
was at work, he left me and took all his stuff, plus
some of my things. No warning - just gone. I was hurt,
but figured I'd live. Time went by and I actually got
used to living alone. It was my own space and I was
loving it!
I wasn't looking to get into another
relationship but nonetheless, it happened. The guy I'm
with now found an "old" ad of mine online and contacted
me through that site. I hesitated, but decided to give
it a shot. I wrote back, and we chatted for about 2
weeks online, with me doing my best to keep a little
distance and hold on to my new-found freedom, even
though I was definitely starting to feel something for
him the likes of which I'd never felt before. Then
we decided to meet in person, and he drove the 145 miles
to come see me without batting an eye at the distance.
We hit it off really well, he drove that distance every
weekend for 5 months to see me, and before you knew it,
I was madly in love with him.
Then the real devastation hit. Weeks
before my new guy and I had met for that first time,
I had been extremely ill with a case of the "flu". I
went to the doctor and he said "you are one sick young
lady". The look on his face was all-telling. He knew
something was seriously wrong, but was lost as to just
what it was. He sent me for a battery of tests that took
the majority of a whole day to complete. It included
blood work but for things like cancers, and HIV. No
one ever even suspected herpes. I only found out much
later, after putting the pieces of the puzzle together,
that it was from having contracted herpes and that my
body was doing what comes naturally; my white blood
cells were in over-drive trying to fend off this foreign
invader (the herpes virus).
When all of the test
results came back, I was mostly recovered from that bout
of illness and had every intention of just putting it
behind me and being grateful for the news that I wasn't
terminally ill or something. Then, my first lesion
popped up during a weekend when my guy didn't drive down
to see me because he was on an ice-fishing trip. Just
one tiny little bump on my genitals. But it was enough
to get me back into the doctor and get it tested. He
looked at that little bump and said it looked like
herpes. I'd never in my life given herpes a single
He did a culture of the lesion, and
because it was a free clinic, I was told it would take
two weeks for the results. I waited those two weeks with
probably the most anxiety I'd ever felt in my life to
hear the results of that test all the while fretting
about everything that I'd been through in the past few
months and feeling like ending it all. Just when I was
starting to feel good about life again, a new dilemma to
deal with. I was reeling from the emotional ups and
downs. I was sure I'd lose my guy right after we'd just
declared our love for each other and I had no idea how I
was going to break the news to him if it turned out to
be herpes.
Herpes? I didn't know a thing about it! I
got online right away and began a journey that to this
day has me constantly learning about this disease. I
armed myself with the proper information I needed to be
educated about it and to help him understand, too, when
I finally was able to break the news to him. I was ready
for anything by then and fully expected him to leave me.
Well, the bad news then was that it was
herpes. The good news is that I'd done all that fretting
and worrying over telling him for nothing. Although he
wasn't exactly aware of what herpes was, he took the
information with a grain of salt and told me we'd be
okay. I told him what I knew about it so far and he
listened closely and with great interest.
Five months
later, I left my apartment and that small town behind
and moved the 145 miles north to live with him on his
farm in Minnesota. Last year we sold that farm and
invested the money into a turn-key dairy operation and
this is where I'll be for the rest of my able days. I
made a promise to him in the beginning to keep him well
informed of anything and everything I'd learned over the
course of time, and he made a promise to get tested and
to keep doing so indefinitely. He never did show any
signs of infection over that first year while he was
still getting tested every month. He doesn't go anymore
because he says he's not concerned.
I love life and I just want to see other
people happy, too. My hope is that, with the proper
tools and the support you need, you'll get through
having found out that you have herpes and see it for
what it is; just a virus. Don't let it keep you down!

Amend ACTA: Parallel Importation
Sean Flynn and James Love
September 13, 2010
Nothing in this Agreement shall be used to address the issue of the exhaustion of intellectual property rights. The effect of this provision is to leave every country free to choose and enforce its own provisions for the exhaustion of intellectual property rights.
Currently, there is insufficient text in ACTA to ensure that it will not be used to alter the flexibility in trips to establish and enforce an intellectual property exhaustion regime of choice. The first sale doctrine is alluded to in Art. 2.6, application by right holder, Option 1:
[EU/KOR/Mor/Mex/US/CH: l. Each Party shall provide procedures13 for import, in-transit and export shipments, by which right holders may request the competent authorities to suspend release of or retain suspected counterfeit trademark goods and suspected pirated copyright goods {EU: goods suspected of infringing an intellectual property right} into free circulation
fn 13. [Can/US/NZ: It is to be understood that there shall be no obligation to apply such procedures to imports of goods put on the market in another country by or with the consent of the right holder.]

7News offered website as information source without disclosing its GOP ties
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
In reporting on the defeat of the so-called "Make My Day Better" bill in the Colorado Senate, KMGH 7News' website directed readers seeking "more information" on the issue to a Republican-operated website. But 7News did not identify ColoradoSenateNews.com as a GOP website and did not include links to any nonpartisan sites providing coverage of the measure.
KMGH 7News featured on its website a February 26 Associated Press article about the defeat of House Bill 1011 -- the so-called "Make My Day Better" bill -- in the Colorado Senate, and at the end of the article included a link directing readers seeking "more information" to a website operated by the Republican Senate minority. However, nowhere on its website did 7News disclose that the GOP operates ColoradoSenateNews.com or provide links to any nonpartisan sites.
As the AP article reported, "A Senate committee on Monday killed a proposal to expand Colorado's 'Make My Day' law to protect the use of deadly force in self-defense in stores and other workplaces." The article further reported, "Sponsor Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, criticized 'Denver Democrats' for siding with criminals and said he would try again next year."
While the AP article presented Republicans' and Democrats' views about the proposal, 7News referred readers looking "[f]or more information" to a February 26 article on the GOP-sponsored website ColoradoSenateNews.com. The article featured only comments from Republicans who supported HB 1011.
Denver Post editorial board member Dan Haley recognized ColoradoSenateNews.com in his February 26 column (an online version appeared February 25) as a "new website" that, "judging by its domain name, purports to cover all of the Colorado Senate." However, as Haley pointed out, the site "is actually operated by the minority-party Senate Republicans and contains Senate news as viewed through their prism." Haley noted the site is being used "as a one-stop shop for reporters and constituents."
From the Associated Press article "Senate Panel Kills Expansion Of 'Make My Day' Law," posted on KMGH 7News' website:
DENVER -- A Senate committee on Monday killed a proposal to expand Colorado's "Make My Day" law to protect the use of deadly force in self-defense in stores and other workplaces.
The law currently protects the use of deadly force in self-defense only by people who are in their homes.
The new proposal, called "Make My Day Better," passed the House 34-30 with bipartisan support. But the Senate State, Veteran and Military Affairs Committee permanently killed the measure on a 3-2, party-line vote, meaning it cannot be revived for the rest of the session.
The committee's Democrats said they feared disagreements between customers and shopkeepers could escalate into violence. The committee's two Republicans voted for the bill.
Sponsor Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, criticized "Denver Democrats" for siding with criminals and said he would try again next year.
"The Senate vote shows a blatant disregard for our right to protect ourselves from criminals without fear of prosecution," he said in a statement.
Sen. Peter Groff, D-Denver, said store owners could end up shooting teenagers they were fearful of just because they were talking too loud, wearing their baseball hat backward or listening to the rapper Snoop Dogg. Or he said a shooting could break out over shoplifting.
