Mark 7:31-37
Jesus left the district of Tyre and went
by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into
the district of the Decapolis. And people brought to him a
deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him
to lay his hand on him. He took him off by
himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the
man's ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; then he looked
up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, "Ephphatha!"
(that is, "Be opened!") And immediately the man's ears were
opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly. He
ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he
ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed it. They were
exceedingly astonished and they said, "He has done all things
well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."
Introductory Prayer:
Lord, I truly sense your love in my heart. I hope
in you, for you have won my confidence by revealing
your sacrificial love to me. I love you, Lord, and I
wish to be a witness of your love to all.
Petition: Lord, open my heart to your love
so I may be a convincing witness to the world
that your love exists.
1. Who Would I
Be if I Did Not Have the Faith? We can
be so familiar with and immersed in our Catholic heritage
that we take for granted the truths we have received
from our Catholic Church, much like most of us take
for granted our ability to hear or speak. Today's Gospel gives
us an opportunity to contemplate a man who from birth
did not enjoy either of these common faculties. There are people
who cannot embrace Jesus' revelation not because it isn't given,
but because they are not prepared to receive it. Let us
rejoice in the grace we have received and honor it
with our fidelity. What type of person would I be (or
soon become) if I didn't have the gift of faith
to support, guide or mold my values?
2. Christ Is the
Revelation of the Father and His Love: Christ revealed himself
to this man, and his power gave him hearing and
good speech. "Christ … by the revelation of the mystery of
the Father and his love, fully reveals man to man
himself and makes his supreme calling clear" (Gaudium et Spes,
no. 22). Inasmuch as we are deaf to divine revelation
we are like this man. Unable to speak the message
of the meaning of our lives, unable to give ourselves
to God and others, life just passes us by. But if
God touches our ears and tongue, if he cures and
empowers us with his grace, our lives take on a
whole new direction and significance. God does touch our ears
and tongue, but we must embrace his grace and purpose
in our lives.
3. We Are Witnesses to the
World that Love Exists: Our Lord restored to this man
the health of his ears and tongue. Christ thus revealed to
him his real identity: "He, who is 'the image of
the invisible God' (Colossians 1:15), is himself the perfect man" (Redemptor
Hominis, no. 10). How difficult his life must have been
before this revelation! How hard must it have been for him
to believe and love! "Man cannot live without love. He remains
a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is
senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he
does not encounter love, if he does not experience it
and make it his own, if he does not participate
intimately in it" (Ibid). With his health restored, the man became
an agent of God's redemption. Who could keep him silent now
about this wonderful experience of his Savior he has had? How
loved by God this man must have felt that day
when Christ restored his health! This man believed and so he
speaks! Why am I silent? Do I not know that as a
Catholic I am to be a witness to the world
that love exists?
Conversation with Christ:
have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new,
late have I loved you!
You were within me,
but I was outside, and it was there that I
searched for you.
In my unloveliness I plunged
into the lovely things, which you created.
were with me, but I was not with you.
Created things kept me from you; yet if they
had not been in you they would not have been at all.
You called, you shouted, and
you broke through my deafness.
You flashed, you shone,
and you dispelled my blindness.
You breathed your
fragrance on me; I drew in breath and now I
pant for you.
I have tasted you, now
I hunger and thirst for more.
You touched
me, and I burned for your peace.
(The Confessions
of St. Augustine)
Resolution: Today, I will share an aspect of
my faith with a friend or family member.

Don't Write Off Dell
Over the course of the past week, both Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) reported their respective October-quarter earnings results. HP's were an unmitigated disaster. But, while Dell had a modest miss, the company's numbers were generally close to expectations. Dell has also reaffirmed its outlook for the year.
Both stocks reacted poorly, but the underlying issues are actually starkly different. The information-technology industry has certainly become more difficult due to macroeconomic challenges, especially in Europe, and as a result of constrained government spending. But, notwithstanding these external pressures, we believe HP is in deep disarray, whereas Dell is steadily following through on its business-transformation strategy....596 more words left in this article.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake forward Alvaro Saborio has been nominated for MLS Goal of the Week!
Saborio's wonderful ninth minute strike in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps FC is up for the honor. The buildup to the strike was fantastic, with Javier Morales starting the move with a delicate chipped pass to Luke Mulholland on the right wing. Mulholland neatly flicked a header down the line to Tony Beltran, who quickly hit a low cross to the top of the area. Ned Grabavoy collected the pass, slithering by several Whitecaps FC defenders before playing a pass through the legs of a Vancouver player to Saborio in the left side of the area. The Costa Rican international hit the ball with his first touch, deliciously curling his 12-yard left-footer into the top corner at the far post.
Saborio is up against New York's Bradley Wright-Phillips, Seattle's Obafemi Martins, Dallas' Mauro Diaz and Vancouver's Sebastian Fernandez for Goal of the Week. This is Saborio's third nomination this year for MLS Goal of the Week; he has been nominated for the award every game that he's scored in. RSL has won Goal of the Week once this year, with Captain Kyle Beckerman picking up the honor for his 11th minute strike in RSL's 3-3 draw at San Jose on March 15.
Voting for MLS Goal of the Week runs until 12:59 a.m. MT on Friday morning. Click here to vote for Sabo!

The Government of Ukraine and the United Nations have mapped out their cooperation through their partnership framework on a number of important issues over the next four years.
The formal partnership document - Government of Ukraine-United Nations Partnership Framework 2012-2016 - was signed on 24 March 2011 by Mr. Andriy Klyuyev, First Vice Prime Minister-Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, and Mr. Olivier Adam, United Nations Resident Coordinator.
UNCTAD played a major role in the formulation of the Framework, ensuring that due attention was given in the document to international trade and productive capacity building as important components of economic development. UNCTAD also worked to have the UN assistance to the country supported by the UN-CEB Interagency Cluster on Trade and Productive Capacity. These efforts helped shape the first part of the document, which deals with sustainable economic growth. Other topical areas of the Framework include poverty reduction, social development, governance and environment, and climate change.
The proposed assistance responds to the national priorities of Ukraine in the economic sector. These priorities include the development of a favourable business environment by reducing administrative barriers for business, modernizing the tax system and deepening the international economic integration of the country.
A resource mobilization exercise is expected to take place throughout 2011, led by the United Nations Resident Coordinator with the Government of Ukraine, to help prepare for the implementation activities that will begin in 2012.

The Regnum Christi Movement offers its members some guidelines of a gospel-based spirituality as an ideal of Christian life. The spiritual path that Regnum Christi members walk mainly consists in knowing, loving, imitating, and proclaiming Christ. This is the path and these are the goals.
Below, we offer some resources that can help nurture the spiritual life of Movement members and of any Christian.
Daily Prayer 2004-12-10
Listen to podcast version here.
December 10, 2004Friday of the Second Week of Advent Father
Jason Koch, LCMatthew 11:16-19Jesus said to the crowds: To what
shall I compare this generation? It is like children who
sit in the marketplaces and call to one another, We
played the flute for you, but you did not dance,
we sang a dirge, but you did not mourn. For
John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, He
is possessed by a demon. The Son of Man came
eating and drinking and they said. Look he is a
glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and
sinners. But wisdom is vindicated by her works.Introductory Prayer:Lord of
my life, to what shall I compare your love for
me? I believe in your power and grace and call
upon you to form and channel my efforts towards holiness.
I want to set my standards to be the same
as yours. I want to melt away so that you
can live in me and use me as your instrument
of grace for those around me. Petition:Jesus, help me not
to allow myself to be led by the spirit of
the world, nor pick and choose which of your commandments
I will follow. Give me the grace to be yours
wholly and perpetually.1. This Generation. To what shall I compare
this generation? These words of Christ apply to our society
today and paint a clear picture of what we should
and should not be. Todays Gospel speaks about those who
find fault with Christ. Todays society finds fault with Christ
at every turn: in his humility, in the way he
doesnt crush the little one, in his call for purity
of heart, in his preaching about the passing of material
things, in his urgent cry to sacrifice ourselves in reparation
for sin, in his willingness to forgive his very enemies.
Nothing Christ does is accepted today by the world. How
does the world affect me today? Are my decisions founded
on Christs waysoften revolutionary ways, or do I find fault
as well? Do I only accept a Christ who will
come down from the cross? Would I find fault today
with a Christ who forgave an offender against something or
someone dear to me: my children, my things, my spouse,
my work, my time? What do I love more, Christ
or my things? 2. What Do They Say? Christ tells
this parable about what they say. Christ, however, doesnt care
what they say except insofar as it shows that they
have hardened their hearts and refuse to follow him. Christs
manner of being is not affected by what others say.
So why speak about what they say? This parable is
a warning to those who care about what the world
says. It is as if Christ is stopping to laugh
at themor maybe even mourn over their dithering, but as
well to point out something he doesnt want us to
imitate. Our worst tragedy should be that one day Christ
would look at our lives and laugh or mourn or
have his heart broken because we refuse to follow his
words and example. 3. What Does Christ Say? And this
brings us to what we really should be asking: not
What do they say?, but rather, What is Christ saying?
What does Christ say about my actions, what does he
think about my life? True Godly respect should replace that
tainted, and so often self-servicing, human respect which has the
ability to twist our lives like vines by wrapping us
around the worlds ways of looking at Christ and his
Gospel. A true Christian is focused on Christ and does
not care about any opinion other than Christs. A true
Christian does not allow any other point of view to
taint his own and draw him away from the one
true path. Dialogue with Christ: Dearest Jesus, thank you for
your commandments which free me from myself. Thank you for
giving me a true guide in your Church and in
the Holy Father. Thank you for your words of life
that are made present to me through the Gospels. I
pray only that you would not let me ever disregard
these gifts or take them for granted. Be the center
of my life, standards and decisions, so that everything I
do will be for you and your kingdom. Amen.Resolution: Today
I will be especially attentive to fulfilling my commitments today
even when it is costly for my human respect.

Bullish on CF Industries
I consider the overall pattern of CF Industries (CF) to be bullish, with higher highs and higher lows. This is one reason I want to set up on the buy side. The second reason is the fact that price is currently above both the 200- and 50-simple moving averages, which is considered technically bullish.
By looking at the chart, I could see that some of the swings in price looked very similar to each other, so I measured them to make sure. There was one prior decline of $19.10, and another that was $20.10. I compared these prior swings with the recent swing down into the $214.47 low, which was $18.96. By projecting 100% of both of the prior swings from the Jan. 30 high, the support levels illustrated with the red lines on the chart showed us the potential support in this stock. These projections also happened to overlap the 0.618 retracement of the Dec. 24, 2012, low to the Jan. 30 high, and a 0.50 retracement of the Nov. 8, 2012, low to the Jan. 30 high. All these price relationships created what I call a Fibonacci price cluster zone between $211.78 and $214.33....184 more words left in this article.

The good the bad and the ugly is a perfect phrase for what I've seen of the Newsvine beta thus far ...
Let me summarize my personal opinions into these three categories. I'd like to get a decent poll going and lots of feedback for the benefit of all of us.
First the ugly
What is ugly for me is nothing new to Newsvine - the complete failure of NV management to communicate with NV'ers as a whole ...
that perhaps is the most disturbing element of what is happening as I read the confusion and comments of NV'ers - this seems to be amusing to some legacy NV'ers and by default you get the feeling that some NV staff are snickering at all of us as we churn ...
Second the bad
Limiting memberships is equivalent to suppressing how we think ... a distinction must be made between owning a group aka nation and being a member in a group ...
In the latter case you have an interest in the former you have a responsibility.
NV has combined these and limited them as if one.
They are not.
Limiting memberships specifically forces NV'ers into larger nations that are mostly manned by NV insiders or staffers and will eventually be 100% under the control of NV as citizen journalism is buried symbolically on a back page.
I read comments to the effect that the new NV is better ... but I've still to read any explanation as to how - except for the obsession with moderation.
Moderation is not the problem - it is a Trojan horse being used to shred the core NV community which has been increasing in power and relevance.
Third the good
It seems we will keep our friends - and if we are not being mislead the ability to embed google ad-sense is a positive for those of us who like to measure our progress by both readership and earnings.
I'd like to have an archive of my comments so I can trace back to my discussion threads .... I'm sure many understand what I mean ..
memberships must not be limited ... otherwise it severely impedes the ability of an author to reach an audience of significance.
Memberships are like thoughts ... and we humans are interested in much more than 15 subjects - the beta is restricting "freedom of thought"
I don't think NBC NEWS wants to be labeled as being an overt advocate of thought suppression.
Again ... nation ownership is entirely different and separate from memberships.
Now I invite you to share your opinions via several polls I've designed.

Wacha throws first live BP to batters in Springfield
PITTSBURGH -- With general manager John Mozeliak among those in attendance to assess, rehabbing right-hander Michael Wacha threw three "innings" of live batting practice to a pair of Double-A hitters at Hammons Field in Springfield, Mo., on Wednesday.
The structured session was designed to allow Wacha to get a feel for how hitters were seeing his pitches. Though Wacha begun throwing off the mound 11 days prior, this was the first time since his June 17 start against the Mets that he had thrown with a hitter standing in the batter's box.
Wacha faced Patrick Wisdom and Charlie Tilson while throwing three sessions of about 15 pitches. He took a break in between each to simulate innings. A Cardinals front office member reported afterward that Wacha "looked good."
Wacha told reporters in Springfield that he expects to make a rehab start for Springfield in Tulsa on Sunday, which would put him closer to a return to the Cardinals' rotation. St. Louis has not confirmed that assignment, and the club will likely wait to do so until it sees how Wacha's arm responds from this test. Wacha has been sidelined since mid June with a stress reaction in his shoulder, an unusual injury for a pitcher and therefore one that the Cardinals have monitored with added caution.

Volunteers of different ages join the study when they are healthy, and have follow-up visits for life. Visits last for multiple days. Participants are evaluated for many physical elements as well as for brain function. Physical tests are given. Information on mood, personality, and social aspects of life is also collected. This program has contributed more than any other research project to our understanding of aging.
- To characterize the many aspects of the aging process and learn how people can successfully adapt to aging.
- Healthy individuals at least 20 years old.
- Participants will receive a booklet and video describing the tests they will take.
- During a 3-day visit at the study hospital, participants will take the following tests:
- Urine will be collected for 24 hours. Blood samples will be taken. A small piece of muscle tissue may be collected by a needle.
- A medical questionnaire and a physical exam will be given.
- Participants hearts will be tested, including with blood pressure tests and electronic monitors. They will breathe into a tube to test their lungs.
- Participants will perform several exercises, including treadmill walking.
- Vision, hearing, and taste will be tested.
- Bone and joint X-rays may be taken.
- Imaging tests will be given, such as an MRI.
- Participants will answer questions to test their mental abilities.

I'm going to see if I can get some pics of the 2 Epics my buddy carries. Trust me, there's no way "normal wear and tear" could ever make discs look like this.
The Epic is specifically designed to be tuned and was PDGA Approved (now grandfathered) with the Tech Standards guys (before my time) knowing that was the nature of the product. So it would be legal under the rules to tune the disc per manufacturer instructions. If tuning was against the rules, a statement would have been made by Tech Standards excluding that if it were not going to be allowed.

Paget's disease of bone is a chronic disease of the skeleton. It is a common disease in older people, occurring in about 3 percent to 4 percent of the population over age 50. It is slightly more common in men than women.
Paget's disease tends to appear in families. It can be present in as many as 25 percent to 40 percent of the relatives of someone with the disease. It is also more common in people of Anglo-Saxon descent and those who live in certain geographic areas, such as England, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Western Europe. It is not common in Scandinavia, China, Japan, or India.
Some doctors suggest that some environmental exposure, not just genetics, is important in the development of Paget's disease. This has not been proven definitively.
Paget's disease is uncommon in people younger than 40 years of age. It is more common as people age. There are no known ways to prevent Paget's disease from occurring. Eating a healthy diet with sufficient calcium and Vitamin D and getting exercise are important components in maintaining skeletal health and joint mobility.
In normal bone, a process called remodeling takes place every day. Bone is absorbed and then reformed in response to the normal stresses on the skeleton.
- Cells of the bone called "osteoclasts" absorb bone.
- Cells of the bone called "osteoblasts" make new bone.
The new bone is abnormally large, is deformed, and fits together haphazardly. Normal bone has a tight overlapping structure, like a well-constructed brick wall. Bone afflicted by Paget's disease has an irregular mosaic pattern, as though the bricks were just dumped in place.
People with Paget's disease often do not have any symptoms at all. A doctor may notice Paget's disease on an X-ray that is taken for another reason or during routine blood work when an elevated serum alkaline phosphatase level is found.
In patients who do have symptoms, bone pain is the most common complaint. This pain can be related to active Paget's disease or its complications, which include:
- Fractures of brittle bone
- Deformity of bone
- Advanced arthritis of joints near affected bone
- Compression on neighboring nerves from enlarged bones, leading to a loss of sensation or movement
Symptoms can arise from the effect on calcium levels in the blood stream. When Paget's disease is active in several bones, the overactive osteoclasts can release enough calcium from the bone as they break it down to cause an elevated calcium level in the blood. This rare complication might cause fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, or constipation. A doctor can also detect Paget's disease from its effect on the heart if excess blood supply is shunted to overactive bones in severe cases.
A doctor can usually diagnose Paget's disease by looking at an X-ray. An affected bone appears larger and more dense than usual. It can have a deformed shape.
In the very early stages of Paget's disease, when there is just overactive absorption going on, it can look like there is a hole in the bone. Later in the disease process, this darker area can take the shape of a "V," with denser, thicker bone following behind it.
A blood test called serum alkaline phosphatase can also be used by a doctor to confirm the diagnosis. This test measures bone turnover. It is usually quite elevated in patients with Paget's disease.
A doctor can also detect Paget's disease with urine tests that show rapid bone turnover.
A doctor may use bone scans to see if more than one bone is involved. In this test, a radioactive material is injected into a vein to travel throughout the body. A special camera is used to look through the whole skeleton for "hot spots," or areas where there is more bone turnover than usual. Paget's disease almost always looks "hot" on a bone scan, except when it has been there for a long time and has "burned out."
Biopsy of the bone is sometimes necessary to confirm the diagnosis of Paget's disease, to be sure it is not something else, and sometimes before the doctors can give medication to help treat symptoms. These biopsies are sometimes done with a needle, using numbing medicine only, or with a little sedation. Sometimes they are done in the operating room through small incisions.
Nonsurgical Treatment
Medical treatments can help decrease the symptoms of Paget's disease, but there is no known way to reverse the effects on the bone.
Patients with no symptoms require no treatment apart from observation. Periodic X-rays may be recommended so that the doctor can watch for any changes. For patients who have mild pain from the disease or from arthritis associated with it, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin can be very helpful.
When the pelvis or leg is involved, using a cane can effectively decrease pain by decreasing the forces going through the bone. A cane can also help prevent falls, so there is less risk of fracture. Braces may be used to prevent malalignment of the bones.
When bone pain is more significant, medications called bisphosphonates are the treatment of choice. These drugs block osteoclasts and can be very effective in treating Paget's disease. There are several types of bisphosphonates that are taken by mouth (oral form) or by injection (intravenous form). Your doctor will tell you which type is best for you and how long you will need to take it. Alkaline phosphatase levels should be checked periodically while taking these medications because it will steadily decline along with the bone pain.
Surgical Treatment
Surgery is used mainly to treat the complications of Paget's disease. Surgery may be needed if there is a fracture, if the bone is badly aligned, or if severe arthritis develops. Surgery may also be needed if the enlarged bone begins to compress nerves, especially in the spine or skull. In the rare cases of Paget's sarcoma, surgery is almost always used to try to remove the tumor entirely. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy may also be used.
The surgical procedures used to treat fractures, malalignment, or arthritis in patients with Paget's disease are similar to those used to treat similar conditions in people with normal bone. However, because Paget's disease increases the blood supply to bones, the physician may recommend taking bisphosphonates before the surgery to reduce potential blood loss.
Bones affected by Paget's disease may take longer to heal than normal bones. Longer rehabilitation than usual may be necessary.
Scientists are currently investigating the genes that may be involved in Paget's disease. This work could enable doctors to predict who may be at risk for the disease and lead to new therapies to treat it.
The more details doctors can uncover about why the disease occurs, the better able they will be to develop treatments specific to Paget's disease. Eventually, doctors hope to reverse the effects on the bone, instead of just slowing them.

Comic book writer Robert Kirkman may be best known to the world for creating The Walking Dead, the comic series that inspired the smash hit TV show. But in the world of comic books, where he has his own imprint at Image Comics - Skybound Entertainment - he's equally well-known for his sprawling superhero creation, Invincible. The series recently passed its 100th issue, and now Kirkman has re-teamed with Diamond Select Toys, makers of the Walking Dead Minimates line, to make Minimates based on Invincible, as well as his newest hit comic, Thief of Thieves.
Telling the story of Mark Grayson, the son of an alien superhero, Invincible follows Mark as he develops his own powers, discovers the truth about his father, and becomes a superhero in his own right. The first set of four Minimates, designed by Art Asylum, includes Invincible, his father Omni-Man, his super-powered love interest Atom Eve and his frequent sparring partner Allen the Alien. Each Minimate stands 2 inches tall with 14 points of articulation, interchangeable parts and a flight stand.
With Walking Dead Minimates on shelves and Invincible Minimates in the works, it was with a no-brainer to make Minimates of Kirkman's other hot comic, Thief of Thieves. With a rotating team of writers and a TV pilot in development at AMC, Thief follows professional burglar Redmond as he attempts to use his abilities for good. This four-pack includes main character Redmond, his apprentice Celia, his son Augustus and FBI agent Cohen, and each fully articulated 2-inch Minimate comes with a variety of interchangeable parts and accessories.
These boxed sets will only be available at comic shops and specialty stores this fall, and can be pre-ordered in stores or online.

At 1000memories, everyone's stories and pictures are worth preserving and sharing. What's old can become new again and can be saved forever for all to enjoy.
Founded by Rudy Adler, Jonathan Good and Brett Huneycutt, 1000memories.com is a free website that celebrates the lives of people who matter most – friends and family, past and present.
The company helps bring albums, scrapbooks and photo-filled shoeboxes out of the closet and into an online space, where they can be shared and celebrated, said Michael Katchen, director of business development.
"When a close friend of our founders passed away last year, they became painfully aware of the shortcomings of social networks for remembering people online," Katchen said.
"We all shared stories on his Facebook page, but not long after, his page was 'memorialized' by Facebook and all of the stories were deleted."
It became clear to the founders of 1000memories that there was no permanent place online for family and friends to easily come together and share memories of the people they care about.
Katchen said 1000memories recently teamed up with March of the Living Canada to collect, preserve and share the stories of Holocaust survivors. The memory page, which can be viewed at 1000memories.com/march-of-the-living "is an amazing and important project to record the stories of survivors before it is too late. It is also the first attempt to tap into the vast oral history of March of the Living alumni who had incredible exposure to survivors throughout Poland and Israel."
As a 2004 March of the Living alumni, Katchen said he is "acutely aware of the growing urgency to collect, preserve and share the stories of Holocaust survivors."
After learning of the deaths of two survivors who were involved with the program, he approached Alana Getzler, the director of March of the Living's Toronto chapter and Eli Rubenstein, its national director, in July to help in his mission.
"Our aspiration is to collect as many stories as possible and preserve them for future generations. 1000memories makes it easy for everyone to participate, and we hope this inspires lots more people to contribute the stories, photos and videos of survivors they know," Katchen said.
He added that there are plenty of sites that let people share their "present" with others, but not many sites that allow people to share their past – "the pre-Internet photos and stories that have otherwise been sitting in closets, unshared with the exception of the occasional holiday or family gathering."
Since the launch of 1000memories in 2010, the company has consistently grown and evolved, adding new features and capabilities regularly.
It has become "a rich, dynamic, collaborative collection of the extraordinary stories of everyday people," Katchen said.
"It is our mission to provide a safe place for your memories so that they can be passed down to future generations. This is as close to a permanent space for your memories that you'll ever find on the Internet. And it should be."
To create a page on 1000memories, users can upload photos, text, audio or video relating to any person they want to remember. When a user tags another individual in their photos or stories, the site then attaches the memories to that person's page. If no page previously existed for that other person, one will automatically be created for them.
The site supports content in any language and allows users to order their memories chronologically. Through their partnership with the Internet Archive, the official digital archive of the Library of Congress, the company is making sure that memories will be eternally preserved.
Katchen and March of the Living Canada set up a community page with testimonies from survivor participants and invited a pilot group of alumni to contribute.
"The page is now open to the public and completely free. We are now working to engage lots more people in the alumni community and beyond to participate."
March of the Living will soon need a new mechanism for sharing survivors' stories with participants, Katchen said.
"By collecting their stories now, we are making sure that future generations will be able to discover survivors' incredible stories and learn the lessons of the Holocaust."
Katchen said Holocaust education has always been a personal passion. While attending the University of Western Ontario, he was Hillel's vice-president of Holocaust education for two years.
"This project is a chance to combine my passion for Holocaust education with my role at 1000memories."
There are more than 200,000 March of the Living alumni who have heard the stories of Holocaust survivors first-hand, he said. "The alumni community has an incredible oral history of stories, photos, and videos that has never before been documented.
We hope this project inspires them to share these memories of the survivors who accompanied them on their trips."
Katchen said each member of the 1000memories team has a unique connection to the site. To see the pages that each staff member has created, visit http://1000memories.com/team.

I've been thinking about how much this weekend's Pacers/Heat game will influence the attitudes of broadcasters, analysts in the NBA media. Think about how different talk radio will be the next day given who the winner is:
IF THE PACERS WIN: Many in the media have been saying the Pacers might be only team in the East to challenge Miami. They'll REALLY be saying that if we win at Miami and run our record to 3-0 against them. I can hear Colin Cowherd now: "If you never believed me that the Pacers are legit, you better believe it now"
IF THE HEAT WIN: It will probably be their 18th straight win and the coronation will reach its zenith. The Pacers, for a little while at least, will be forgotten.
There's no way I'll be rooting against the Pacers once the ball is tipped, but in my head I wonder if a loss might be a good thing. I say this because the Heat are probably tired of hearing about the Pacers being their only challenger. They'll want to make a statement and put us in our place.
I say... let them! Let them get that out of their system now, in the regular season, so they can return to their overconfident selves, like in 2011. Many thought the Heat lost to Dallas because they were overconfident, and that they beat OKC because they were humbled and more focused. Losing by 20 to them on Sunday might not be a horrible thing. Let them feel like the Eastern Conference Playoffs is just an annoying formality.

The Mandeville Hotel
Very Expensive hotel and there was a service charge for everything.
We were charged for checking in and for being served breakfast.
The breakfast was very expensive @ £45 for two of us and the service at breakfast was terrible....they didn't bring plates for out toast and then took the plates away before we had finished eating. The toast was sent back because it was under cooked and was then bought back out overcooked. We were also unaware that we were being charged over £3 for each round of toast and would expect this to be included within the breakfast rate.
