The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency has numerous detention camps throughout the United States. Some camps have been recently built or renovated and are complete. The existence of the camps coupled with Presidential Executive Orders giving the President and Department of Homeland Security (now part of FEMA) National control essential functions in case of "catastrophic emergency" have raised concerns that the camps will be used to detain American citizens forcefully.
FEMA was created on 1 April 1979, under President Jimmy Carter's Executive Order 12127. It merged the Federal Insurance Administration, National Fire Prevention and Control Administration, the National Weather Service Community Preparedness Program, the preparation and the Federal Agency Federal Disaster Assistance Administration activities formerly carried out by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He also took over Civil Defense Department of Defense, who was in charge of preparing citizens for military attack.
In 1993, Bill Clinton is the direction of FEMA into a Cabinet post. In 2003, FEMA is part of the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Response Branch.
The stated purpose of FEMA is to "reduce the loss of lives and property and protect the nation from all hazards, including natural disasters, acts of terrorism and other man-made disasters, by leading and supporting the nation in a risk-based, a complete system of emergency management preparedness, protection, response, recovery and mitigation. "
FEMA operation most notable large scale in recent years has been following Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, which took place along the north-central Gulf Coast, especially in relation to New Orleans , Louisiana. FEMA's response to the disaster has been widely criticized for a slow and inadequate response, blocking external aid private and public individuals and groups, including the Red Cross, the prohibition of photos death and confiscation of equipment and journalist firearms registered by the owner.
The 2006 report of the Congress on FEMA's handling of Hurricane Katrina said he was "… a national failure, an abdication of the most solemn obligation to provide for the common good "
Some have criticized FEMA's failure as due to the emphasis is on the "civil defense" continuity of government programs and intervention against terrorism at the expense of its disaster preparedness response. It is also alleged that Hurricane Katrina was used to verify the continuity of government program, allowing FEMA to repeat the borough by moving a large number of people in camps, suspending their constitutional rights and to militarize the region with the help of private military contractors (mercenaries). Black Water USA, a private security company, has been used in the aftermath of Katrina.
Readiness Exercise 1984 REX-84 program is an emergency involving the implementation of martial law, the movement of civilians and the arrest and detainment of segments of the population. A repetition of the program was conducted April 5 to 13, 1984. It was led by FEMA and the Department of Defense and participate in the coordination of 34 federal departments and agencies. REX-84 was mentioned during the Iran-Contra hearings and publicly exposed by the Miami Herald, Sunday, July 5th, 1987.
Similar large-scale emergency preparedness drills have been held regularly since then. The most recently announced, organized by NORTHCOM, are scheduled for October 15-20. Some say that the exercises continue to include the preparation of the suspension of the Constitution and the implementation of martial law.
Operation Garden Plot is a U.S. Army and National Guard program under the control of U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) to provide Federal military support during domestic civil disturbances. An example of implementation of the program was during the 1992 riots in Los Angeles where the U.S. Army and Marine forces were used in conjunction with the California National Guard. [16] In Los Angeles, a decree was made to allow the use of the federal army to respect national laws in accordance with the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which imposes restrictions on the domestic use of the army law enforcement purposes.
Recently, however, section 1076 of Public Law 109-364, or the "John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007" (HR5122) has amended Posse Comitatus and the Insurrection Act (which also imposes limits on domestic military deployment) to allow the federal government to unilaterally take control of state National Guard and the position of federal troops in the country during a "public emergency".
During the 1960s many presidential decrees were issued authorizing Federal agencies to take over essential functions in the event of a declared emergency. The powers include, among others, the federal government's authority to take over transportation infrastructure, including roads and ports (10,990), food resources and farms (10,998) and mobilize citizens into work brigades under government supervision (11000).
On May 9, 2007, President George Bush has reaffirmed the role of the federal government during a declared emergency by issuing a decree NSPD 51 / HSPD-20. The decree stipulates that in case of a "catastrophic emergency" all "national essential functions' may be supported by the executive branch of government and the Department of Homeland Security (including FEMA).
In August 2002, then Attorney General John Ashcroft called for American citizens who are deemed "enemy combatants" being held indefinitely without charge and regardless of the judiciary. This legal situation has been confirmed in the case of a U.S. citizen detained abroad by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in January 2003 ruling.
In October 2006, the Military Commissions Act was passed by Congress. The law applies to non-US citizens and permits individuals labeled as "enemy combatants" being held indefinitely and without charges. It also denies non-military tribunal judicial review of detention does not take into account international treaties like the Geneva Convention, and declares that the President who defines what constitutes torture.
In January 2007, the American Civil Liberties Union released a report based on documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act suit showing that the Pentagon had taken at least "186 anti-military protests in the United States and collected more than 2,800 reports involving Americans in a database of anti-terrorist threats. "
Recently, FEMA has been renovating and constructing new detention camps throughout the country. In Haliburton subsidiary KBR in January 2006 announced it had received an "indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity to build detention facilities for the Department of Homeland Security for a maximum of 385 million over five years.
Citizens who are concerned about the purpose and potential use of detention in the camps have documented and, if possible, filmed the detention facilities. A current estimate of the number of detention camps is located on 800 in all regions of the United States with varying maximum capacities. If one includes government buildings being used for purposes other number is much greater.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by Magicuk, Sep 15, 2010.
is it possible to unroot my phone get all the new updates then root again ?
What new updates?
Not really, as Froyo is not rootable currently, so once you upgrade, you have to downgrade again to root. If it's froyo you want (please clarify)? there are better things you can do.
I'm rooted on 2.10.405.2, used unrEVOked 3.2 (before it was removed due to some bugs)...
na i have 2.2 but there is a new update that is a fix for 2.2 that is OTA. the resson why is coz i got a custom rom or 2.2 on there it is saved to the memory card and if i remove it the phone will not start up. but if i got the 2.2 OTA update that would be stored to the phone correct?
All custom roms are stored on the phone itself. Its not possible not to be.
If removing the SD card stops it booting, then there is another issue perhaps? Are you using a2sd+?
All I can think is that there is other stuff on your card that Froyo wants in order to boot. Maybe some apps?
Yep, but until they re-release it (that being the only method) we're stuck unless we downgrade first.
well is there anyways i can put it to OTA 2.2 and then get the new keybored then adn i will wait till the root is avaliable for the 2.2
If so do u no where the update would be that has the better keybored and new OS update as it is ment to make the phone run better as i get get the OTA update but as i have a custom rom on there it will not install it do u no where this would be to install it myself
Firstly, what version are you running on now? Go to Settings>About phone>Software information
If it's 2.09.405.8 you can either get the OTA update (Settings>About phone>System software updates) or get the full RUU file (which will reset your phone) form here:
Shipped ROMs
The RUU you want is this:
If going down the RUU route, you'll need your phone to be connected with HTC Sync and then just run the file
Yes it is the 2.09.405.8 but when i get the ota update and then go to install i get a triangle on my phone screen so it dose not work
That's because you're not fully following the instructions. You need to press vol-up and power.
Right i have custom rom on the phone with 2.09.405.8 i jsut went to cheack for update and it says one is there that is the new froyo update with better keybored and fix for the OS. i then download it and go to install it but it comes up with a triangle when tryign to install it. i dont have a gold card in my phone
Noooooo. You don't check for the update. You cant get OTA when rooted. Download what Eddy OS said onto your computer, connect with htc sync and run the file you downloaded.
will i loose all my stuff on my phone with this update?
I believe when you install an RUU, you will lose everything. It will be like a new phone, only on the latest version.
Download mybackup pro free trial and backup what you can. If you have google contacts and google calendar sync DO NOT back up contacts or calendar
ok thanks for your help so when i do this update i will loose the root and have to wait for the new root to be running
That is correct.
thanks for the help
New root isn't far away (you can get the new unrEVOked release candidate from their IRC channel if you wanna try it). I've already rooted my stock 2.10.405.2 ROM and it worked first time in W7 x64 Ultimate
If not, just wait for the final release to come out and do it then
oh right well will try get hold of that and a other thing is it me or do u lot have problems with sd card like some times says read only when i takes pics and vid they are not there after and stuff like that ?
The new unrevoked3 (3.2) will probably work but there is a chance that it will permanently brick the phone. Until the final stable release comes out, the best way is to downgrade the software and use unrevoked 3.14.
I've not noticed anything but then again I don't take many photos/videos...
I've read a few threads where people have this issue, but its never affected me.

Shanthi - Do you have any plans to raise the limits on this Auction as, with about 2 1/2 days to go, there are still about 60 foals that have not had any bids?
To clarify - I upped the horse limit, not the spending limit. That was never going to change.

"Maybe you ought to get around to building that fence so he can't wander off," Jackson said, nodding toward the pile of lumber lying beside the garage.
"That's actually a swing set we bought for Luc back in May. My dad planned to build it, but none of the wood came labeled, so he set it aside to puzzle over later." Gabby shrugged with a pleasant sigh, clearly unperturbed by her father's failure. "One of these days."
Luc finally scampered back around the garden and tugged on her sweatshirt, leaving a dirty smudge to go with the jelly stain. "I hungwee, Mama."
"Okay." She bent down to kiss his head. "Let's go make some oatmeal with raisins." Then she turned to Jackson. "Would you like some, too?"
Very much.
"No, thanks. Actually, I need to run to an appointment." He saluted Luc, who'd begun to stack a pile of small stones. "Have a good day, buddy."
Then he turned and beelined to the garage before he changed his mind. He jogged up the metal stairs, sneaking a final glance at the twosome as they ducked around the back of the tired little farmhouse.
Jackson sighed. It'd been weeks since he'd had a drink, and longer since he'd had sex. Now he knew six weeks here would test a lot more than his ability to control his impulses with alcohol.
By eight-thirty in the morning, Jackson had shifted his position on the doctor's sofa for the fourth time. Avocado-green carpeting spanned the floor of the tiny office. A wall of bookshelves cluttered with books and knickknacks added to Jackson's sense of claustrophobia. The old-fashioned clock ticking off each second didn't help matters. If not for the abundant light streaming through the large plate glass window to Jackson's left, he might have lost his mind.
Doctor Joseph Millard, or Doc, as he'd asked to be called, sat opposite him in an Eames-style lounge chair, with pen and paper in hand. The man's salt-and-pepper hair matched his closely cropped beard. His eyes and mouth were bracketed with the deep lines one would expect to see on a person who spent a fair amount of time outdoors in harsh climates. His eyes, green and alert, twinkled with what appeared to be good humor. He wore a long-sleeve Polo pullover, khakis cuffed at the ankle, and Birkenstocks that looked twice as old as the furnishings.
Despite Doc's friendly and relaxed demeanor, Jackson had been perspiring as if he'd been handcuffed to a chair beneath a single, bright spotlight. Torture. Cruel and unusual punishment. Either term would apply to the experience of being forced to talk about personal things with anyone these days, let alone a stranger.
"I'm not going to shoot you, you know." Doc chuckled, set aside his notepad, and leaned forward. "I don't have every answer, but I can tell you this. We could meet every day for the next six weeks, but if you don't talk, we won't make much progress."
Jackson scrubbed his hands over his face. "Sorry."
"Don't apologize. I'm just trying to tell you that this is a safe space. Nothing you say goes beyond these walls. No judgment, either."
"That's a neat trick." Jackson slid his hands along his thighs without looking directly at Doc. "Teach me to be nonjudgmental and I'll be your slave for life."
"That's hard for you, then?"
"Me and most of the world." When Doc watched Jackson without comment, he continued. "We're raised to know right from wrong, live by the 'Golden Rule,' and all that shit. So when people do wrong or screw you over, it's pretty hard not to judge, isn't it?"
"What's the payoff from casting judgment?"
Jackson scowled, crossing his arms. "I feel better."
"Do you?" As he uttered the words, sunlight split through the prism of the crystal pendant hanging in the office window, scattering tidbits of rainbows across the walls. Like opposing perspectives, the rays of light looked entirely different depending on which side of the prism you stood, or sat.
"Yeah, I do."
Doc's skeptical gaze caused Jackson to make yet another judgment. One having to do with his general sense that New Age juju wouldn't help him find answers. If Doc started chanting, he was outta here.
"Listen, Doc, I'm on a short timeline here, which means it's probably best if we don't waste a lot of time with hypotheticals and what ifs. Just tell me, straight up, what I need to do and let's get it done."
Doc grinned and slouched back into his seat, crossing one sandal-clad foot over his knee. "Sorry to tell you, it doesn't work that way. You have to be willing to examine your thoughts and behaviors, to identify your triggers, and then, ultimately, begin to modify the stuff that gets you into trouble."
Jackson practically flung his head back against the sofa cushions. "Shit."
"Don't lose hope. Today wasn't fruitless. I know your mom's death was the first major setback in your life. You've alluded to some things with your siblings and ex-girlfriend, and I can see you're a man who prefers action to discussion. We can build on this, as long as you're willing to challenge yourself. To get real honest and stop pretending that you have no role in your own problems."
Jackson cracked his knuckles while keeping his gaze on the floor. Doc was no dummy, as evidenced by the way he framed this as a challenge. Apparently he managed to pick up on Jackson's pride and competitive spirit during this first forty-five-minute appointment. Maybe the guy had something to offer after all.
After another moment, Jackson raised his head and met Doc's inquiring gaze. "Friday morning, same time?"
"Friday morning."
Jackson rose and shook the man's hand before bolting to his car. On the drive back to his apartment, he realized he had an entire day to kill. He'd already exercised and eaten, and he didn't want to waste time watching TV, especially considering the ancient model in the apartment.
No work. No distractions. No booze.
Scratching his head, he wondered what had convinced him downtime would be a good thing.
He pulled his Jeep up to the garage. None of the Bouchards were in the yard, and Gabby's truck was gone. He started for the apartment stairwell when he noticed the play set lumber stacked there waiting for someone's attention.
A project would be a productive use of his time and talent, and it had been a long time since he'd been anyone's hero. What better than to be one for a little tyke whose dad seemed to be MIA? Besides, few things provided a more satisfying way to release tension than the contents of his tool kit.

Edit-SFS est un utilitaire graphique qui permet de modifier les fichiers .sfs
Citation de l'auteur Pizzasgood
This is a simple roxapp (click-able folder that runs a script, very handy things) that allows you to edit an xxxx.sfs file like pup_xxx.sfs, or devx_xxx.sfs. It takes care of extracting and recompressing. All you need to do is supply the file, edit it, then receive the new file.
It will install to /root/my-roxapps/Edit-SFS. If you feel like modifying it, right-click, choose "look inside", and edit the AppRun file.
You can use this several different ways. Just clicking the /root/my-roxapps/Edit-SFS file will run it and let you supply a path to a .sfs file (or drag the file onto the field). Alternately, you can drag a .sfs file directly onto /root/my-roxapps/Edit-SFS itself. I also added a symlink into /usr/bin, so you can run the command edit-sfs /path/to/file.sfs (or drag-and-drop onto the binary). Finally, this package also installs a right-click action in ROX-Filer for .sfs files.
The first time you run it, you will also be asked to tell it where you want to make the working directory. This should be on a Linux partition. Depending on the size of the file you're editing, you may need several hundred megabytes free. You also have an option of having Edit-SFS set up a temporary ramdisk. That's usefull if you're using Puppy on a computer with a no Linux partitions besides your possibly too cramped pup_save.2fs file. Keep in mind however that a ramdisk requires ram, so if you don't have hundreds of megabytes of ram available, that won't work so well. (Don't forget, if your Puppy already copied pup_xxx.sfs to ram, or you're running with pfix=ram, then you are probably already using about a hundred MB or more of ram for that!)
If you ever change your mind about the location, go to /root/my-roxapps/ and right-click on the Edit-SFS icon. You'll see an entry that says "Set base dir". Use that and it will redisplay the above window.
Once it knows which file to use and where to work, it will decompress the .sfs file into a temporary directory in that location. When it finishes it will present you with a new window featuring the file's extracted content. When you are done editing, click "Build" and it will close the window, compress the data, and present you with a freshly compressed .sfs file. Place that somewhere for safe-keeping before hitting "Finished". When ready, clicking the "Finished" button will delete the working directory in the process of cleaning up after itself. It also unmounts any ramdisk it may have created. Then you're done.
This version of Edit-SFS should be much more efficient than previous versions, as it reads the sfs file from the location where it is already at rather than copying it first. It also has limited compatibility with both versions 3 and 4 of squashfs. In Puppies older than 4.3 it only supports 3 unless you go out of your way to add support for 4. But in Puppy 4.3 and newer it should be able to deal with both versions. The file it creates will be in the same format as the original, or at least close (if the original was 3.0 but you have 3.1, the final file will be 3.1). They way I implemented that isn't ideal, but it gets the job done and should be easy enough for people to deal with if they need to tack on support for even newer versions of squashfs at some point.
Unlike the previous versions, this one also shows the status as it compresses.
Also, this version doesn't care if you run multiple instances. It uses mktemp to generate unique temporary directories.

Chiranjeevi, Welcome to the world of IC Packaging. I would like to clarify for you and for our other members, the two products you mention and their features. You asked about RDL (redistribution layer routing). If you want to validate that the RDL of an IC is implementable based on package driven IO to bump assignments then the Allegro product you refer to is Allegro PCB Router (formerly known as SPECCTRA). If you want to do full IC mask rule level product RDL routing that is CCAR (new name for IC Craftsman) which runs in the Virtuoso or Encounter environments. Moderator

Two years ago at Detroit, Subaru unveiled a modestly restyled and repackaged—but not all new—Legacy. Now it's almost time for a completely new one.
The Subaru Legacy Concept that the automaker showed for the first time today, at the North American International Auto Show, shows a "vision of what a future Legacy sedan might look like," according to Tom Doll, the executive VP of Subaru of America. Doll added that "people seem to forget that we've been making sedans for a long time."
The new Concept also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the model which, in rugged Outback and sporty GT trim and by making all-wheel drive standard on every vehicle, saved the brand from a near retreat from the U.S. market in the mid-1990s.
Designed by the company's head of design, Osamu Namba, the Legacy Concept takes a new direction compared to the current Legacy, with a chunky, imposing face, and a "design line" that develops near the top of the fender and runs all the way into the taillights—a departure from the smooth, almost slab-sided flanks of the current car. The front design represents a nice compromise, as down below there are some WRC influences in the wide stance and gaping front air dam, yet it also has a sophisticated look thanks to the delicately shaped headlights. At the back, the LED lamps taper inward from the side crease, and the decklid doesn't rise as high as those of some sedans, which is refreshing.
Inside, the theme is "high definition" according to Namba, with a much more glitzy look compared to current and former Legacys. The three-spoke steering wheel with round hub, combined with the abundance of textured matte-black and matte-aluminum, looks very Mazda, but the Legacy has a welcome elegance as well, with the shift bezel maintaining a jewel-like luster. Gauges are backed in a cool blue, and a flat-panel touch scren controls a range of features, including navigation. The back seat looks considerably more plush, with power controls and a large armrest and screens built into the back of the front seats.
Subaru had no word on engines in the next-generation Legacy, though it's almost certain that the family of horizontally opposed engines (part of the automaker's identity) will return.
The automaker has been widening the differences between its sedans and wagons, design and styling-wise, so we expect similar sheetmetal, especially in front, but a decidedly different overall look for the Outback.
Curiously, the concept has some elements—such as more creases and more chrome—that seem to be going out of vogue in some segments of the market. But that's one of the things that we like about the show cars this year, versus a few shows back when every crossover SUV concept and sedan concept seemed to look alike. No single manner of detailing has swept across all the automakers this year, and being a little different is good.

Jarlsberg is a world famous Norwegian cheese – loved for its nutty flavour and delicious texture. We love it with ham and mustard – it makes incredible cheese toasties, but is a good all rounder. Works wonders on pizza, as part of a cheese board or simply enjoyed on a slice of hearty dark bread with some salted butter.
Please note we cut this cheese in-house so the packaging may differ from the picture. This is a chilled item.

Have You Met Kasson's New K-9?
Welcome to Kasson, Hoss! If you haven't met him yet, you will soon.
This afternoon, the Kasson Police Department announced a new K-9 was joining the team as soon as his training was complete. Hoss will be trained to replace K-9 Liberty when Liberty retires this year. By the looks of it, K-9 Officer Gerald is thrilled to have him!
Here's the scoop on Hoss… he came all the way from Germany to join us!
Yep, that means we'll be seeing Hoss on the streets of Kasson pretty soon.
The Kasson Police Department describes him as, "one who is a beast that can basically do anything he wants. He is usually loved by all and a ladies man. He could break anyone or anything in half. Hoss is a compliment." He may look sweet, but don't cross him the wrong way!
Can't wait to see him soon! Good luck with your training, Hoss!

Audi reveals hottest S-line A1
Good news! Audi has announced its A1 supermini will now be available with a 182bhp 1.4-litre TFSI engine, making it the fastest and most powerful A1 on sale today.
Bad news! It's still around two grand more expensive than the equivalent Mini Cooper S.
The new S-line A1 gets the supercharged and turbocharged engine from the Polo GTI generating 182bhp and 184lb ft of torque. Audi claims it will do the 0-62mph sprint in 6.9 seconds, just 0.1 seconds quicker than the 185bhp Mini Cooper S.
It's quite an engine too. The supercharger kicks in at 1,500rpm and retires at 2,400rpm, after which a turbocharger takes over duties from 3,500rpm. Audi says because the supercharger handles the low-range, it has been able to slot in a bigger turbo, for efficiency and economy, you understand, not powerrr.
The A1 gets the S tronic seven-speed twin clutch auto box as standard, together with ESP and an electronic limited slip diff; this brakes the inside front wheel briefly when sensors detect a loss of traction, or, in layman's terms, immediately after saying 'watch this', and immediately preceding a potentially expensive ding.
It comes with sports suspension, naturally, exterior S-line bits, 17-inch alloys and part-leather seats.
Yours for just £20,075. Which would you rather have, this or a Cooper S?

Comcast Prepares for Toby Keith
As the summer winds down, the number of concerts put on at outdoor amphitheaters does too. While that means the show must go on rain or shine, it does muster up a little sadness about having to be cooped up indoors for a concert for the next six months. But no need to sink into hibernation just yet, the Comcast Center's grand finale concert on September 25th will be put on by none other than country's finest- Toby Keith.
Although he's been on tour for most of the last three months, Keith is not ready to call the summer quits yet- his American Ride tour wraps up on October 15th in Oklahoma after playing fourteen dates up the East Coast. Celebrating his eighth consecutive year at the "Ford Truck Man", Ford presented this American Ride concert, Keith playing even bigger venues and more locations throughout the US than he did in 2009. For his first return to Massachusetts since hosting this year's Boston Pops 4th of July Spectacular, which drew more than a half-million Americans in person and millions more to the telecast, Toby Keith will be promoting his upcoming album- the 15th full-length studio album of his career- titled Bullets in the Gun.
Available as a Deluxe Edition, Bullets In The Gun will be released Oct. 5, with four live tracks in addition to the standard album. The four songs, recorded during the impromptu "Incognito Bandito" show at the Fillmore in New York City, are Johnny Paycheck's "11 Months And 29 Days," Waylon Jennings' "I've Been A Long Time Leaving (But I'll Be A Long Time Gone)," Roger Miller's "Chug-A-Lug" and Gordon Lightfoot's "Sundown". Keith also took part in co-producing and writing all 10 new songs. Toby also wrote two songs by himself, including the lead single "Trailerhood," which is moving quickly to the top of the charts.
Toby Keith will follow up Nickelback, as he plays a rescheduled show that was originally planned for mid-July. Keith has released fourteen studio albums, two Christmas albums, and multiple compilation albums. He has also charted more than forty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including nineteen Number One hits and sixteen additional Top Ten hits since the start of his career in 1993. With another album on the way, Bullets in the Gun with an upcoming release date, he surely has enough tracks racked up to play for days, which is why he can accredit most of his success to his concert repertoire. Toby Keith will appear at the Comcast Center on September 25th as the last scheduled artist for this summer's concert series at Mansfield's Comcast Center, so don't miss your chance to end this summer on a high note.

text: When I'm on a call my phone's screen goes off and stays off, and NONE of the buttons work - power button, volume, home, menu, back, search - nothing. The call is still going through and I can talk and hear just fine, it's that nothing else works on the phone. I can't even hang up on the call. I have to wait for the other caller to hang up first. I've installed Keepscreen, adjusted display settings, and have done a hard reset. It still behaves the same. Any ideas?

EducationBrown University - Iowa Writers' Workshop - University of Denver PhD
I have perfect or 99th percentile scores on SAT, ACT, SAT II, and GRE tests.
I'm a 2006 graduate of Brown University, where I studied writing, literature, math, and critical theory among other things and a 2012 graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, which many consider the best writing program in the world. I've worked as a tutor, teacher, or professor for twelve years. I taught high school math and high school English before entering graduate school. From 2012 to 2014, I served as the writer-in-residence at Cornell College, where I taught creative writing. I have perfect or 99th percentile scores on SAT, ACT, SAT II, and GRE tests.
As a teacher, I build on students' natural strengths and native intellectual curiosity. Students reinforce academic content, personalize their learning process, and learn how thrive in educational institutions.
I offer one-on-one or small-group tutoring in math, language arts, social studies, and science for students of all ages and ability levels. In addition to academic content, I teach study skills, time and stress management, effective reading, and executive function.
I'm currently a PhD student in the University of Denver's creative writing program and on faculty at Denver's Lighthouse Writers Workshop where I teach fiction and college-essay workshops. I've published peer-reviewed articles in LIT: Literature Interpretation Theory and (forthcoming) in Twentieth-Century Literature.
ExperienceTEST PREP TUTORING:
Standardized tests are not strong predictors of your success in college, graduate school, or your career. They are, however, fierce gatekeepers. A bad day at the testing center can end your application season; a good score can save you tens of thousands of tuition dollars and wildly open your professional horizons. Studying for these tests is not like studying for your Biology final. It's more like triathlon (or decathlon!) training. My approach breaks down like this:
(1) Focused teaching/review of test content: these tests cover a wide but delimited range of math, grammar, and logic concepts, often disguising how they appear. At whatever pace you need, we'll build your proficiency with the math and verbal content and build your "test literacy"--your expertise in how the exam spins a few dozen concepts into ever-new questions.
(2) Good habits. First and foremost, standardized tests measure how good you are at standardized tests. They measure your time-management, anxiety-management, and endurance at least as much they measure your math and verbal chops. We'll do time trials and stress tests and develop personal techniques for keeping your wits about you come test day.
(3) Homework. No coach can get you through 26.2 miles if you don't do your daily runs. Together, we'll design a rigorous, efficient, and achievable homework schedule that will get you in shape. I can advise you on which study materials to buy and provide some I've written myself.
My test-prep qualifications. Out of college, I taught GRE, GMAT, LSAT, SAT and ACT classes for Kaplan Test Prep. I've tutored independently since 2009. I have perfect or 99th percentile scores on the GRE, SAT, ACT English, ACT Math, ACT Reading, SAT II Writing, SAT II Math IIC, SAT II Physics, AP English Language, AP English Lit AP Calc BC, AP Physics AB, AP US History, and AP European History.
As an after-school tutor, my primary goal is to develop your student's independence and love of learning. Our starting point is always the student's natural strengths and curiosities. I'll teach you how to personalize your learning process to keep yourself challenged, excited, and engaged.
I'm comfortable tutoring most middle-school and high-school subjects. I love teaching all math. I love teaching writing and lit. History, physics, etc. No French, no Chinese, solo un poquito de español. I worked as a high school math teacher and language-arts teacher before returning to graduate school. I've taught creative and academic writing at Brown University, the University of Iowa, and Cornell College. Through the International Writing Program, I've taught distance-learning literature courses in Kirkuk, Iraq and Hargeisa, Somalia. I can challenge ace students who are bored with their As or help students fighting not to fail.
HobbiesI tutor because it's fun for me and for spare income. If you ask me what I do, I'll say I'm a writer. My short-story collection won the Michener-Copernicus award and will be published by Sarabande Books in 2018. I've won writing honors from a number of magazines and institutions including Granta, Playboy, Glimmer Train, Cornell College, Prairie Lights, etc.
When I'm not writing or teaching, I hike, bike, backpack, brew coffee, and bake bread. Last summer, I backpacked across Switzerland on the Via Alpina. I've organized big hikes in California, Montana, Colorado, New Hampshire, Texas... I consider fun a top-shelf life value.

You don't have to do anything with your mind,
just let it naturally rest in it's essential nature.
Your own mind, unagitated, is reality.
Meditate on this without distraction.
Know the Truth beyond all opposites.
Thoughts are like bubbles that form and dissolve in clear water.
Thoughts are not distinct from the absolute Reality,
so relax, there is no need to be critical.
Whatever arises, whatever occurs,
simply don't cling to it, but immediately let it go.
What you see, hear, and touch are your own mind.
There is nothing but mind.
Mind transcends birth and death.
The essence of mind is pure Consciousness that never leaves reality,
even though it experiences the things of the senses.
In the equanimity of the Absolute, there is nothing to renounce or attain.

Hispanic and black parents are far more likely than white parents to rank a college education as the most important ingredient for a youngster's success, a poll released Wednesday found.
The survey of the general public and parents of high school-age youths found that 65 percent of Hispanic parents and 47 percent of black parents considered college the most important element for success.
Only 35 percent of the general public and 33 percent of white parents agreed.
Most of the general public and non-minority parents picked various other attributes -- such as knowing how to get along with people, having a good work ethic, gaining skills on the job -- as most crucial for success.
The survey was conducted by the New York-based Public Agenda, a non-profit research group.
Parents of high school-age youngsters also endorsed more education as the best sequel to high school graduation. More than three-quarters, or 77 percent, identified four- or two-year college as most beneficial, and 16 percent cited trade school. Only 4 percent advocated a job.
Yet 67 percent of the public and 63 percent of parents with high school kids said they believe success is possible without college.
The survey's findings on minority aspirations contrasts sharply with minority attendance in schools of higher education.
In 1998, the latest federal figures available, among 18- to 24-year-olds, 37 percent of whites were enrolled in higher education, but only 30 percent of blacks and 20 percent of Hispanics were.
''For many non-Hispanic whites, it is a given that they will go to college,'' said Antonio Flores, president of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities.
But not so for Hispanics.
''They want to go, but they can't afford it,'' Flores said. They may be held back by poverty, language barriers or lack of family experience in higher education.
The survey polled 1,015 adults by telephone in December. An additional 451 Hispanics, blacks and whites were included in the sample of parents of high school-age children. The margin of sampling error was 3 percent overall, and 7 percent for the extra survey of parents.
The study was commissioned by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education in San Jose, Calif., which promotes education and training after high school.

A Tireless Worker for Catholicism
by Benjamin Fiore, S.J.
Buffalo, New York
John Paul II had a vision for the Catholic faith in Europe and worked tirelessly to see it become a reality. After the collapse of the political divide through the center of Europe, he named Ss. Cyril & Methodius co-patrons of Europe along with the traditional patrons Ss. Benedict and Catherine. He thus brought recognition to the Catholics in the Slavic countries. The church finally was able to "breathe with two lungs," to use his image. And he went further in his tireless efforts to heal the divisions between Roman Catholicism and the Orthodox Churches, which divides the Slavic Christians.
He visited every Orthodox country except Russia and developed remarkable and unprecedented good relations with their hierarchies. John Paul's apology for the crusaders' sack of Constantinople startled the Greek Orthodox and won him warm ties with the Patriarch of Constantinople. His persistent overtures even led to the establishment of ongoing, serious dialog with the Russian Orthodox Church, despite their public resistance.
He found common ground with believing Christians throughout Europe, including the Russians, in challenging the secular West Europeans to recognize the Christian roots of Europe in the European Union Constitution and in their own lives.
John Paul strongly resisted the drift among theologians away from the official teachings of the church and restored a discipline and fidelity among those who claimed to teach for the Church. His practice of grounding his teachings in scripture helped raise the study of scripture among Catholics to new levels, while also fostering theological discussion with bible-oriented Protestants. While he maintained the tradition of an all-male clergy despite vocal protests, he encouraged the participation of women not only in their usual roles as teachers and social workers, but also as officials in diocesan chanceries, national and international Catholic organizations, and even in Vatican commissions. His "conservative" teachings on marriage and sexuality, rooted in the dignity of the human person, offered an alternative to the permissiveness that has made more prevalent abuse, disease, infidelity, and the dehumanization of love.
John Paul's unabashed love of and devotion to Mary, and his proclamation of faith in Christ and his cross, have encouraged many Catholics, especially the young, to declare and live their faith openly. The public display of his weakness from disease and age, and carrying on his duties despite these, gave witness to the value of all life, even at its most fragile state.
Benjamin Fiore is Religion Editor for the Polish American Journal, chair of the Religious Studies Department at Canisius College, and a translator of Polish theological works.
The Awesome Power of One Magnificent Life
By Dr. Jan P. Muczyk
Dayton, Ohio
On this sad occasion, the civilized word will recognize the legacy of Pope John Paul II. People of Polish descent will also mourn this uncommon man because he made them so proud. The many eulogies across the globe will acknowledge the role Pope John Paul II played in the demise of the communist order through leveraging the power of transcendent ideas, especially when visiting the land of his birth; thereby confirming Victor Hugo's observation that: "Nothing else in the world…not all the armies … is so powerful as an idea whose time has come." In his native Poland, he and his mentor, Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, will be remembered for courageously protecting the Church during the 45-year communist reign.
No doubt, he will be honored for his advocacy on behalf of the poor, the innocent, and the helpless. In many quarters, he will be celebrated for defending so eloquently the culture of life and the God-given dignity of every human being. He will be credited for energizing the missionary zeal of the Catholic Church through his many trips to distant lands where this remarkable individual addressed the multitudes in their native tongues. He will be lauded for advocating: the separation of church and state by renouncing "liberation theology;" the inalienable right to worship in accordance with one's conscience; and the right to unfettered selection of representative governments. Some will applaud his academic achievements as a first-rate philosopher, as an estimable author, and as an accomplished poet. But his greatest achievement, I believe, will have been the preservation of traditional Catholic beliefs and values, and perhaps the Church as we know it: a task that many consider to be the primary responsibility of a pontiff.
John Paul II let the faithful know time and again that the Catholic faith was based on divine revelation, the decrees of Church councils, and papal encyclicals. It was not a product of the democratic process, whereby the most convenient and popular positions of the time replace the revealed word and Church tradition. Clearly this was not a welcomed position in some quarters, but this holy man was not running a popularity contest. Had he adopted the democratic model, the incorporation of current fashion into Catholic dogma would have caused the kind of splintering of the Church that we find taking place among some of the liberal Protestant denominations that have done just that.
Pope John Paul II assured the preservation of traditional Catholic positions not only through his unequivocal stand on matters of faith and morals, but also through his appointments of likeminded bishops and cardinals over his 26 year pontificate—the second longest in the history of the Catholic Church. Had he not appointed leaders of the church who shared his convictions, his positions could have been overturned by his successors and the Church hierarchy, which is so instrumental in implementing Church teachings and enforcing Church dogma and traditions.
In addition to the aforementioned achievements, the life of John Paul II is an inspirational example to us all by illustrating so vividly the awesome power of one life lived to its full potential. I am convinced that Pope John Paul II will not only continue guiding the Church through his legacy for a long, long time, but also will continue to make persons of Polish descent as proud as when he was still among us.
Jan Muczyk was born in Poland and spent his childhood in the middle of World War II. He received in June 1947 first communion and confirmation at the same time from a young bishop of Lublin by the name of Stefan Wyszynski, later to become Primate of Poland and mentor of Karol Wojtyla, who became Pope John Paul II. He is a professor emeritus of management at Cleveland State University and at the Graduate School of Engineering and Management, Air Force Institute of Technology.
He Will Always Be With Us
By Joe Brozeski
Oil City, Pennsylvania
What a trying day … in one way we have lost our pope, but in another, he will always be with us. I find it ironic that with all the coverage of religious events in the United States, I've yet to hear one Polish hymn, whether in English or Polish. Now that John Paul has passed, I hope that the heritage won't suffer.
I find it hypocritical that those who we not really that supportive of John Paul while he was alive are now beating their breast and throwing out the accolades.
It was really interesting that earlier today one of the reporters mentioned that during a soccer game in Poland—when news of the pope's passing was announced—the crowd, along with the teams, sang the Polish National Anthem and canceled the game.
Joe Brozeski is director of the Polish Heritage Project, an audio documentary of Polish hymns and prayers.
"His will and determination showed the
world how precious life is."
By Bishop Edward U. Kmiec
Buffalo, New York
Although we knew this day would come, it is still a very difficult time for the Catholic Church as we mourn the loss of our father, our spiritual leader, the man who poured his entire being into the
papacy. As a result, our Church has been strengthened and remains committed to the values that the Holy Father so clearly articulated during the 26 years in which he guided us.
Pope John Paul II led the Catholic Church through important and challenging times, and despite the many challenges he and the Church faced, he always remained true to his convictions. He was truly a pope of the people, taking more than 100 foreign trips during his papacy. We will remember him as a heroic figure of deep faith as he worked to build the Kingdom of God on earth.
The pope was at the forefront of the most important issues of the day. He led the pro-life movement with a clear and strong voice, showing the world the path to a culture of life. He was an advocate for human rights around the world, calling out abuses and pressing government leaders for change. His comfort and prayerful support for the sick and dying was another hallmark of his papacy, especially for those afflicted with HIV/AIDS. He set a high standard for all who minister.
We will always remember the major role he played in the fall of communism. His actions helped millions in Eastern Europe to enjoy the freedoms many of us take for granted. And even in his dying days, he was a strong advocate for peace, urging world leaders to look for other ways to bring an end to armed conflicts, or to avoid them altogether.
His very public suffering in the final years of his life was wonderful testimony to the sanctity of life. His will and determination showed the world how precious life is.
On a personal level, I am deeply saddened by the passing of our Holy Father. He appointed me as auxiliary bishop of Trenton in 1982, as bishop of Nashville in 1992, and as bishop of Buffalo last August. I hold each of these papal appointments close to my heart and it is my hope that I have been worthy of the confidence he placed in me. I will miss him very much.
The Pope touched so many lives in so many ways. From his special connection to the youth of the world, to his love and respect for women religious, deacons and the laity, to his unbreakable bond with his brother priests, Pope John Paul II was indeed a shining example of what one can do with the gifts we are all given from God. He truly was a light for the world.
I ask the faithful to join me in praying for the repose of the soul of Pope John Paul II. We know that God will welcome him into heaven. May he rest in peace.
Bishop Kmiec's comments were released upon learning of the passing of the Holy Father, and were published in the Western New York Catholic.
"Well done, good and faithful servant"
by Cardinal Adam Maida
Detroit, Michigan
Our beloved Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, has been called home to God. To his dying breath, he has served God and the Church with unwavering love and his own steadfast faith in Jesus Christ. His tireless energy for the Gospel of Life has touched almost every person on this earth and leaves behind a legacy of hope and a path of solidarity and service for us to follow.
While it is almost impossible to think of our Church without our beloved shepherd, such is the sad reality of life and death in this world. Even as we mourn this great loss for our Church and our world, our reference point remains our belief in Christ's Resurrection for the dead and the promise of eternal life, the very beliefs, which were the anchor and compass of our pope's life and ministry.
Without question, our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, has been embraced and greeted by the Lord: "Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of eternal life!" Thanks be to God for such a good and holy priest and chief shepherd; may his soul and the souls of all our faithful departed rest in peace."
Adam Cardinal Maida is Archbishop of Detroit and a personal friend of Pope John Paul II. He was coordinator of fund. He serves on the Roman Curia and United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, D.C.
We Were Brothers
by Dave Kotcher (Kaczorowski)
We were brothers, in Polish, braczisko.
In 1991, my daughter and I and a young priest from Krakow searched the parish records of St. Mary's Church in Wadowice, Poland, the Pope's birthplace. I had suspected that somehow he was a distant relative. In fact I had a litany of reasons for my conclusion, most of which I don't remember. Two stood out: his mother's maiden name was Kaczorowski, the same as my original family name, and my father strongly resembled him.
As we looked through large pages of yellowed church records, finding a thread here and another there, it began to be clear that there was some sort of relationship, however remote. As we got closer, the parish pastor came into the room and gruffly reminded the young priest that he was there to help him, not to do a genealogical search.
Everything stopped. My daughter and I visited the pope's church and walked around the soccer field where, in his youth he had been goalie. I felt proud. I had been within minutes of finding a direct relationship with one of the most important and revered people in the world. I wondered what would be the next step to get the definite proof.
Then it occurred to me. Why? What good would it do? What would it prove? It would result in a few seconds of fame, maybe an interview here or there and some bragging rights.
It was not about me. It was about him. I had no right to infringe on his experiences or to be a part of his life vicariously. After all, we shared so much already. Church documents wouldn't make us brothers. We already were. I had nothing to prove.
This brotherhood was not exclusive. It included a billion Roman Catholics throughout the world, 40 million Poles, nine million Polish Americans, and people from every country in the world who shared John Paul's Polish roots.
But I'm sure he didn't see it only that way. His brotherhood was extended to everyone. Religion, ethnicity, place of birth wouldn't make much difference to him. We all shared common aspirations, experiences and hopes. To call it the "Brotherhood of Man" is not poetic enough and trite. He showed us the importance of all our lives with our petty problems and minor successes. He understood us because he was one of us.
I was working in Pittsburgh in 1978 when Karol Wojtyla became pope. I was in my office when someone burst through the door and screamed, "The new pope is Polish." My first thought was, "Yeah, right. Another Polish joke." As the day went on, it was clear, the world had a Polish pope. The first one who wasn't a Vatican insider in over 450 years.
His name was unfamiliar. Almost everyone had heard of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski so at first I assumed the College of Cardinals had elected him. I thought he was a good choice, but he was well over 70 years old. Then I heard the name "Wojtyla." It didn't even sound Polish. Over the next few days, his profile emerged. He was archbishop of Krakow, a revolutionary who was an activist as a seminarian during World War II and a close friend of Wyszynski. It started to make sense. Wyszynski was too old and fragile, so the College chose a protégé.
Wojtyla was from Galicia, a strangely configured part of the world that incorporated most of southern Poland and parts of Ukraine and Slovakia. Galicia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is important only to historians of the obscure. My grandparents who came to the United States in the early 20th century were Galician-Poles, and as obscure as their geography.
Wojtyla had been a quiet part of the resistance movement during the War and went to the Underground Seminary in preparation for the priesthood. But all these are just facts that others have researched and vetted time and again. One point that most journalists and scholars missed was that to be Polish was to be rooted in ignored heroism and amazing resiliency. These were the foundations of the new pope.
In the following years, I was fortunate to live in Poland and see for myself all the required tourists sites honoring both Wyszynski and Wojtyla. But even more importantly, I was able to feel the real fabric of the pope—in German concentration camps, in quiet monuments to unknown patriots killed in the country's many wars, in churches with side altars memorializing victim of the Katyn Massacre. In one instance, my office was in a small building that had a plaque honoring 217 Polish students and teachers killed less than a month after the beginning of World War II.
Several years ago, I was shopping in a warehouse store in central Poland. Suddenly, all the store clerks stopped what they were doing and one turned on a television. The pope had just landed in Krakow. Bent over from infirmities, he slowly descended the airplane stairs. When he reached the ground it looked like a bolt of lightening hit him. He stood almost upright. He was in his beloved Poland. He was young again.
All these defined the pope. His reverence for life was not theoretical. His oneness with all of us was not book-learned. He was not a rock star, or a celebrity or even the direct voice of God. He was one of us, with his eyes toward heaven in wonderment asking God, "What's next?"
Do widzenia, braczisko. Until we meet again, brother.

Reflections on Pope John Paul II
by Dr. Ann Hetzel Gunkel
Chicago, Illinois
It is easy for American political and media discourse to miscategorize a religious figure such as Pope John Paul II into a stereotypical box. But the conventional categories of American cultural politics don't apply so neatly to someone who personifies a paradigm that predates the Enlightenment, republicanism, and other "modern" inventions. Yes, Pope John Paul II was a "conservative." But this doesn't mean what we usually think. How can the leader of the Catholic Church be anything but? Dogma doesn't upend itself and the Vatican isn't about to announce free love. (Nor should it.) A doctrinal conservative is not a political conservative.
The Holy Father was a revolutionary. He took the "conservative" Catholic church squarely into world politics to speak truth to power, bringing the radical nature of the Gospel message to the world's poor and marginalized.
As a feminist progressive, I learned all my values from the nuns and priests who educated me, including the Holy Father, "our" Pope. While I would view the ordination of women very differently than the Pontiff, I am so grateful for a moral and spiritual leader who:
—led and personified a massive nonviolent worker's revolution in Poland, that changed global politics. A man of peace changed the face of the planet.
—created enormous progress in inter religious dialogue, with a profound respect for Jews, Muslims, and Orthodox Christians. Simply summarized, the Holy Father made it impossible for those on the world stage to use "religious truth" as a rationale for violence.
—confronted the first world powers on numerous issues of human diginity, including clear opposition to the Iraq war, the battle for forgiving third world debt, and the discrepenacy between first world energy consumption and the poverty of the rest of the world
—provided the only non-politicized coherent philosophy of life in the world arena, creating the notion of the seamless garment of life. This makes it morally problematic if not impossible for western political conservatives to be coopt the rhetoric of "life" claiming to be both "pro-life" and pro-death penalty, "pro-life" and pro-war. While the social politics of reproduction rights are profoundly difficult and complex--esp. for a first world feminist Catholic such as myself--I find the ONLY coherent moral message on the world stage is the Holy Father's.
—reaffirmed the radical nature of the Gospel message, uplifiting the dignity of the poor and marginalized.
This legacy is a stunning achievement of one man's devotion and selfnessness in serving others. As a Polish American, I could name many more repercussions of the Pope's life and work, as they profoundly affected our Polish and Polish American cultures. I, personally, was fortunate to serve as an usher at the 1979 Papal Mass in Chicago's Grant Park, where the Pontiff greeted over a million faithful.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Two Heroes of Poland
Ken Locke
Warsaw, Indiana
Poland has given us two heroes, similar in many ways.
The first is General Thaddeus Kosciuszko, 18th Century Champion of Liberty. The second is Karol Wojtyla, the late Pope John Paul II, 20th Century Hero of Freedom.
They stood for liberation of their native Poland. Both saw their nation oppressed by tyranny. Kosciuszko fought against the Russians but never saw independence. Pope John Paul II saw the scourge of German Nazism and then Communism grip his native land. He was able to see the freedom of Poland that Kosciuszko could only dream of.
Lech Walesa, leader of Poland's Solidarity movement that won power after a decade of struggle and hastened the collapse of the Soviet bloc, said Polish-born John Paul II inspired the drive to end communism in Eastern Europe. "[Without him] there would be no end of communism, or at least much later and the end would have been bloody," Walesa said.
They believed in liberty and dignity for all mankind. Kosciuszko had such passion for autonomy that he came to America and joined the revolution against England. He hated slavery in our country and the treatment of the "peasants" in Poland. In his will he left directions that the property he had been given in Ohio was sold to free and educate slaves. Pope John Paul II stood for deliverance as well. He was unswerving in his belief of the sanctity of life and treatment of others. Who can forget the scene of John Paul II standing at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem praying for forgiveness for the unacceptable history of the treatment of Jews? He was quoted as saying, "Once again, through myself, the Church, in the words of the well-known declaration Nostra Aetate, "deplores the hatred, persecutions and displays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews at any time and by anyone." I repeat, "By anyone."
They both almost died for their cause. Kosciuszko on the field of battle in October 1794, wounded and captured by the Russians. Pope John Paul II in 1981 at the hand of an assassin. He later met personally with the man to forgive him. One carried the sword. The other carried the gospel of peace. Both sought God for their strength and direction and put their lives on the line.
They now belong to the ages. Kosciuszko was called the "purest Son of Liberty" by Thomas Jefferson. President George W. Bush honored Pope John Paul II by saying that he was, "a person who stood for freedom and human dignity." Many are calling him a "Pope for the Ages."
I recently came across something that could have been written about both men; A Polish Blessing—
"May your heart be as patient as the earth,
Your love as warm as harvest gold.
May your days be full, as the city is full,
Our nights as joyful as dancers.
May your arms be as welcoming as home.
May your faith be as enduring as God's love,
Your spirit as valiant as your heritage.
May your hand be as sure as a friend,
Your dreams as hopeful as a child.
May your soul be as brave as your people,
When John Paul II was welcomed into heaven I believe that Thaddeus was there to greet him. More importantly, Jesus was there to say, "Well done good and faithful servant…enter into the joy of your Lord."
Both great Poles have received the ultimate emancipation, eternal life. Honor is due to them for their hearts that beat for liberation, not only in Poland, but around the world.
"We have a Polish pope!"
Sharon Petroski Yasneski
I remember when John Paul II was elected Pope and how excited we were when we heard the news. I worked for a Dr. Kulbaski and I remember running into his office shouting "Doctor! Doctor! We have a Polish pope!" What a great man he turned out to be and we Poles are all so proud of him. I remember also reading about him having no family living and how sad I was for him. God knew what he was doing, he gave John Paul II the entire world as his family. He will live in our hearts forever.

HAD Essendon not voice last week its concerns about systematic doping, the investigation into Melbourne's alleged tanking in 2009 would have ended.
There's only so many black eyes the AFL can take at any one time.
Despite having a fair bit on its agenda today, the AFL Commission may want to reflect on how it punishes its errant clubs.
It's time to stop stripping draft picks as a penalty.
It's time to finally invoke Rule 16 by stripping clubs of premiership points.
If, as expected, the case is made that senior club officials told Melbourne's coaching staff to lose games in 2009, the Demons are expected to be banned from four consecutive drafts.
This is the maximum penalty the AFL Commission can impose on the club.
But what does this really do? It compromises the draft for every AFL club - more so when Melbourne returns to the draft table and is handed quality draft picks, as evidenced with Carlton after its salary cap rorting.
It delivers an uncompetitive Melbourne.
That would be fine if the AFL was a promotion-relegation league and the Demons, for their crimes, collapsed all the way to the third division. But in a one-tier league, what point is there in having a basket-case team compromising the chase for the AFL premiership? More so when the lopsided draw can serve up to some clubs two lollipop clashes against the Demons and just one to others.
The AFL - and the game of Australian football - is better served by keeping Melbourne competitive but without reward for its on-field victories. That is, have the Demons stripped of 20 premiership points this season, 16 in 2014, eight in 2015 and four in 2016.
And when it comes to the settling the annual draft order, Melbourne should be ranked by its wins rather than its premiership points to ensure the Demons are not rewarded with a string of No. 1 draft picks should they finish last of 18.
No AFL club has ever been stripped of its premiership points.
The shame of being the first would hurt Melbourne, the game's oldest club.
As for any club official proved to have orchestrated this form of match-fixing - to secure a prime draft pick and Tom Scully in 2009 - the penalty clearly has to be a life ban from all football.

Handbags and purses have become a basic necessity for a modern woman today. These accessories can be found in different shapes, sizes and make. A vast number of designers, as well as manufacturers, are working in the designer handbags industry to boost the variety and utility of these bags day by day. Additionally, there are several area retailers too, whose chief business revolves around the trading of these handbags.
Though handbags cater to the needs of both, men and women, this accessory has mainly grown in the women-centric market. The reason behind this is the comparatively greater options of designs, sizes as well as colours for women relatively to men. The recession came and passed by, but there was no downfall in the handbags industry. All it has seen is a success and cut-throat competition in the recent times. This development is mostly due to the increase in disposable salary, increasing middle class, growing fondness for labelled items, hike in the online sale of products, and increasing number of rich buyers all around the world.
Growing trend of handbags- pushing the career of designers incredibly:
Designer handbags have already been recognised as a significant accessory in the world of fashion. They are now used as conclusion pieces in a woman's dressing style. Their growth in demand has not only enhanced the earnings of retailers but has also generated huge revenue and scope of having a great flourishing career for many handbag designers worldwide. As the fashion and luxury standards keep improving, the demand for stylish accessories keeps flooding the market. Same has been in the case of handbags. The designer handbags industry has witnessed inconceivable highs in the past few decades and is bound to grow even more if the demand and fashion quotient keeps on increasing the way it has done so far.
Neck to neck competition:
Competition in the designer handbags industry has taken a huge leap of late as many renowned designers have started setting up their stores and showrooms to increase their sales and visibility. On the top of this, they not only store their own handbags, but also offer other luxury brands at discounted prices for better business outcomes. Europe is undoubtedly the largest market of this underrated industry. They trade their bags via autonomous retailers and expert dedicated chains. Other countries are also adapting to strategies and techniques of distributing their handbags to meet the performance of Europe.
Other than just picking the best designer handbags from the market to enhance your look, one can also do another thing to justify the hard work given to this industry- join it! One can create their expertise in the art of designing classy handbags and make a great living out of it.
