American bishop writes to Colin Powell over Sudan crisis
In a letter to US Secretary of State Colin Powell, the Chairman of the Catholic Bishops' Committee on International Policy said the United States must exercise even more leadership to prevent a worsening of the crisis in Sudan. Bishop John H Ricard, SSJ, asked for a meeting with Secretary Powell and urged the United States to take a series of steps to alleviate what has been called the "worst humanitarian crisis in the world." The bishop recently completed a fact-finding trip to Sudan, accompanied by Ken Hackett, President of Catholic Relief Services, and Fr Michael Perry, OFM, Policy Advisor on Africa for the Department of Social Development and World Peace, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The officials visited refugee camps in Darfur, consulted with the bishops of Sudan, met with Sudanese government officials, and sought to identify actions the Government of Sudan, the United States and the international community might undertake in response to the crisis. Bishop Ricard said the visit persuaded him that the Sudanese government only responds to strong and continuing pressure. "They make promises but I saw few results on the ground," he wrote. Noting that as many as 50,000 people have died and more than 250,000 others face an uncertain fate, the bishop said the United States, together with European countries and the United Nations, should coordinate strategies to move humanitarian supplies to the areas where the need is greatest. He also called for the immediate release of $95 million in aid recently approved by Congress and said the Administration should work with Congress in defining and funding remaining humanitarian needs. In the letter, Bishop Richard recommended that the United States work closely with the UN Security Council and the UN Human Rights Commission for the immediate deployment of human rights monitors, and that the President appoint a Special Envoy to bring the full weight of US diplomacy to bear on the situation. Bishop Ricard said the United States and the international community must continue to insist that the Government in Khartoum: --allow for unfettered access of relief efforts in all areas of Darfur and fully cooperate with the international donor community to ensure rapid delivery and protection for relief workers. --put an immediate end to aerial and ground attacks on civilian targets by its own armed forces and the Janjaweed and other armed militias it has employed in its fight against rebel forces in Darfur. --accept primary responsibility for safeguarding the rights and dignity of its citizens. "Failure of the Government to protect its citizens, its participation in the wholesale violence exacted on its people, and its unwillingness or inability to rein in the Janjaweed and other armed militias in the region of Darfur requires that the international community take steps to ensure the protection of unarmed and innocent civilians in Darfur," the Bishop said. "To this end, the international community should be prepared to provide the African Union with logistical, financial and political support as it conducts its mission of verification of the ceasefire agreements." Bishop Ricard told Secretary Powell that the Bishops have called on US Catholics to pray for a resolution of the crisis in Sudan and to participate in a special collection on Sunday, August 22 (or other convenient date), the funds from which will be administered by Catholic Relief Services for humanitarian assistance to the people of Sudan. "The US and the world must build on what is already being done and take stronger action to avert this ongoing human tragedy and moral crisis," he said. Source: US Catholic Bishops Conference

text: Day One: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1959583 Well, I woke up before our 7:30am alarm (Which Robert had set on his phone). I was instantly suspicious when I saw the time read as 6:57am as I felt really refreshed for that time of the morning... I jumped up and checked my phone. Robert hadn't set his damn phone to French time! EMH had already begun!! ARGH! We jumped out of bed, dressed, and slapped on make up and sun cream (Well, Robert only the latter) and darted off (So I apologise for the state of my appearance in these pics!)..... We wandered down towards the park through the village: I had to pose near the giant mushrooms outside the Rainforest Cafe- I think they are a very under-rated photo oppertunity....! We then ran towards the park, where we got straight in and grabbed programmes and maps.... And then I caught my first glimpse of the Castle this trip: Magic! Robert insisted on posing on the bandstand because there was nobody else on it for once!! We darted over to Discoveryland where we went on Buzz Lightyear's Laser Blast twice (Robert beating me by a long way each time!), and then we headed to Fantasyland.... We were pleased to see Alice's Curious Labyrinth would be open later in the day, and were also pleased to see the jumping fountains were back in action! We went on Peter Pan's Flight (Which still has a special place in my heart as it was our best family ride when I was younger!) and then on Pinnochio.... After this, we headed for the Castle. I was a bit disspointed to find you couldn't get up the Castle stairs as it was closed for refurbishment, but you could look up at the lovely ceiling and all the details: I love the trees in the Castle! The castle is meant to look like it has 'grown' out of the ground apparantly, and I think the trees look amazing instead of plain old pillars! We then went out the front, to do the obligatory Castle photos while it was still fairly quiet: We were just walking away from the Castle when a woman pointed behind me and said to her young son: "Look who it is!!", and I thought: "What? Robert?", and when I turned round I saw Mickey Mouse heading straight towards us in his little car! Robert dived out of the way as it was nearly a head on collision! I couldn't help but laugh!! After this, we headed round to BTM as Frontierland was now open.... I was desperate to go on BTM this time, but Robert was very nervous about it and wanted to get it out of the way..... However, I was gobsmacked when we got off the ride and he declared that he loved it!! Especially so as the last thing he said to me as the train was leaving was: "I hate you for this!"....! We then darted round to Phantom Manor, which is one of my fave rides (BTM now reigns supreme though!).... I love it!! And there was no queue, which was a nice bonus! After this, we headed to Adventureland to go on POTC, which we did twice.... And then checked out Skull rock.... By now we were very hungry, so we came out of the park and headed for The Rainforest Cafe, where we had a wonderful lunch.... Again, reviews and pics will go on the right thread! We then headed for the hotel as we needed a little rest (We were very stuffed!): After a bit of a rest, we headed back to the park to find a good parade spot, which we did! Just down from Bella Notte, near the towers.... Whilst waiting we put on more suncream and chatted.... We had reservations for the California Grill that night, and we were very excited about that! Eventually, the parade began... We LOVED it!! Robert adored the Alice in Wonderland float, and was really chuffed to see the White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts.....I loved the Villans float myself! The evil Queen from Snow White did a fabulous pose for me when she saw I had a camera, but my stupid camera wouldn't work properly!! It was a lovely thing for her to do though! After the parade, we headed round to Small World, then to POTC, and then back to Big Thunder Mountain where we had two turns! We then wandered through Frontierland, and were pleased to spy some Halloween decs! We then waited at the Frontierland station to go round on the train- I wanted to prove to Robert that it does go through POTC! Needless to say, I got to do a little 'told you so' dance! We got off the train at Mainstreet, where we had a little look in some of the shops. Robert then decided that he wanted to go to the Aladdin walkthrough, so we headed round there.... After this, we called into the Boardwalk Candy palace for some fudge, and then headed back to the Newport to get ready for our dinner at the California Grill... It's probably wise to book Inventions and the CG if you aren't staying at the Disneyland Hotel because we had to show our reservations slip to get through.... .... After a lovely, fantastic and amazing meal, we headed back past the lovely lit up DLH and the Village.... And once we were back at the hotel, we showered, and went to sleep.... Which was a very good sleep indeed!!! Day Three: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1960193 Bob xoxoxox

Former NHS manager jailed for lying about his qualifications
A senior NHS boss who lied about his qualifications in order to gain jobs in the health sector has been given a two-year prison sentence at Exeter Crown Court today (6 March).
Jon Andrewes, 63, of Totnes in Devon, earned more than £1 million in salary over a decade working in various senior health roles across the Southwest.
Among the roles obtained by Andrewes was the position of chief executive at St Margaret's Hospice in Taunton, temporary chair of Torbay NHS Trust and chair of Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust.
The court heard how Andrewes fabricated parts of his working history and falsely claimed on his CV to have obtained a variety of qualifications, including:
- A diploma from the Chartered Institute of Management Accounts
- A PhD in ethics management from Plymouth University
- A PhD in business administration from Heriot-Watt University
- A masters from the University of Edinburgh
- A degree from the University of Bristol
Andrewes admitted three charges at an earlier hearing.
Alex Johnson, from the CPS, said: "Jon Andrewes repeatedly lied on his CV in order to better his chances of securing lucrative senior roles across the health service.
"The investigation team built a case which clearly outlined the scale of the deceptsentencing of Jon ion and faced with the evidence against him, Andrewes pleaded guilty."
The prosecution followed an investigation by anti-fraud officials at the Department of Health.
Notes to Editors
- Jon Andrewes pleaded guilty two counts of fraud and one count of obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception
- Alex Johnson is a Senior Crown Prosecutor with the CPS Specialist Fraud Division

Dengue fever has been one of the many illnesses that every Filipino freaked of having after a bite of a mosquito-carrying dengue virus. But this fear will probably end because of the availability now of the world's first dengue vaccine in the country.
Image from india.com
Yes, you heard that right. The world's first dengue vaccine is now available in the Philippines, in our country. This dengue vaccine was successfully developed after more than 20 years of studies and keen clinical trials wherein there were 40,000 respondents involved in 15 different countries, including the Philippines. What has been done was that those who participated in the trials were monitored for 25 months and have not manifested any dangerous side effect, except for the minimal effect common to other vaccines.
This vaccine is now available in many private practitioners as they still need to assess every patient before giving the vaccine. This is not free but at least its cost is reasonable enough if to consider the costs, physical and emotional trauma when hospitalized due to dengue fever.
Please have yourselves guys this dengue vaccine before everything is too late.

Microfinance, the practice of making very small loans to people to support their businesses in developing countries, has been helpful to many, and is growing with the emergence of such partnerships as Kiva B4B. But what if your business is too big to be helped much from a microloan, but not big enough or your ideas/skills developed enough to warrant the attention of large scale venture capital? Agora Partnerships in Nicaragua provides one great example of how to bridge that gap.
Based in Nicaragua, they are an NGO with a deep commitment to developing and supporting sustainability minded businesses so that they can make an impact, both on those now employed by these organizations, and the communities surrounding that are the beneficiaries of a more ecologically benevolent business, whose success is therefore a financial support to that community as well.
How does socially responsible venture funding in a developing country such as Nicaragua work? The same as it does anywhere else, and perhaps with lessons for others elsewhere.
Agora lays it out clearly in four words: Identify. Advise. Invest. Support.
First they identify businesses that are socially responsible that want to grow their enterprise, create local jobs, and combat the poverty that is at times pervasive in their country. Once found, these businesses get help from Agora in identifying the constraints to their growth, whether financial, managerial, or conceptual. That in itself would be of tremendous benefit to any business, but for some, Agora goes further: They choose the promising prospects and give them access to capital that is of a long term nature. For others that may not necessarily have capital needs but could use access to a broader network of contacts and support, Agora Partnerships can provide that too.
What are some examples of businesses they support? As they put it, "Agora Entrepreneurs come from all walks of life but share an intense energy and passion to create change." One particularly successful example is Llamadas, who have created among other things pedal powerful mobile phone booths, capable of supporting multiple phones and bringing affordable access to communication to a wider range of the population. Another is TecnoSol, which at this time installs 500 small scale solar systems a month, at a price accessible to rural farmers, area medical clinics, and grocery stores.
In what is looking to be an ongoing venture, TecnoSol and Llamadas partnered to create No Apagones, or No Blackouts, to promote CFL lighting among the rural poor, a market segment one might dismiss as unconcerned with ecological benefits and without the income to buy these lights. Through keen insight into what matters most to them and skillful execution of explaining how and why they are relevant to their needs, It's proved a tremendous success, inspiring competition among neighboring counties to see who could buy the most.
Other examples include a fledgling bamboo house builder, an eco immersion tourist company, and an organic restaurant.
Agora Partnerships model is one that people from any part of the world could learn from, and I suggest you investigate it for your region, and perhaps create something like it yourself!
Readers: What are other examples of deep support for innovation and socially responsible ventures you know of, whether if developed or developing countries? What ideas do you have for improving what's currently out there?
Paul Smith is a sustainable business innovator, the founder of GreenSmith Consulting, and has an MBA in Sustainable Management from Presidio School of Management in San Francisco. His overarching talent is "bottom lining" complex ideas, in a way that is understandable and accessible to a variety of audiences, internal and external to a company.

Hung assembly in Delhi, BJP largest party: poll
Delhi is looking at a hung assembly with the BJP emerging the largest party with 32 seats, an ABP News-Dainik Bhaskar-Neilsen opinion poll has predicted.india Updated: Nov 28, 2013 02:25 IST
Delhi is looking at a hung assembly with the BJP emerging the largest party with 32 seats, an ABP News-Dainik Bhaskar-Neilsen opinion poll has predicted.
With 32 seats in the 70-strong House, the BJP may get a 33% vote share, the poll said Wednesday. It gave the ruling Congress 25 seats, saying its vote share would likely drop to 26%. Contrary to predictions of a dream debut for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), it said the rookie would manage around 10 seats with 23% of the votes.
In 2008, the Congress had won 43 seats and bagged 40.46% of the votes polled; the BJP had won 24 seats with a vote share of 36.76%.
According to the poll, there are 15-20 seats where the contest is going to be very keen and the victory margin may not go beyond 2%.
"These seats could impact the final outcome. If there is pro-BJP sentiment in these constituencies, the party's tally may go up to 40 seats and if there is pro-Congress sentiment, that party may get about 34 seats. Similarly, AAP's tally may go up to 20 seats if sentiments are in their favour," a statement from ABP News said.
Springing a surprise, it said the BJP's Harsh Vardhan was the most preferred chief ministerial candidate with 34% of the votes, followed closely by AAP's Arvind Kejriwal (33%). The survey said more than 56% feel the BJP has benefitted by naming Vardhan its CM pick. Incumbent Sheila Dikshit, on the other hand, will bear the brunt of the corruption charges swirling around the Congress-led UPA government at the centre, it predicted. The survey also said inflation was a key factor working against the Congress.
"People do recognise the work done by the Dikshit government over the last several years but rampant inflation seems to have wiped out the goodwill. People feel that the Delhi government could have controlled inflation if it had wanted to, hence the resentment," the statement said.
According to the survey, 81% of the total 6,340 respondents felt soaring vegetable prices may prove to the deciding factor in the December 4 elections.

Apparently a new Amy Winehouse 'Greatest Hits' collection is coming out, but the tinfoil and spoons aren't included.
3. Guns N' RosesChinese Democracy (2008)You knew this one was coming but it's still not the best of the worst. Hype can be a good thing, but when it goes too far, the only thing to suffer is the music itself. Witness how before its release, this album was highly anticipated. Now that it's out, well, more press was given to speculation than the dated piece of crap it actually is for good reason. Years into its "tentative" release date, people grew weary that it even existed. That was, until Rose released a song. Not a good one but it left people wondering: maybe this taste wasn't so sweet but could the other stuff live up to the band's past brilliance? Well, now that we have the answer: nope.
Hype wasnt created by the band. So its not their fault. 14 years in the making coz it had no permanent band members to finish it.I listen to a lot of music and CD has atleast 9 songs that can be termed as brilliant amongst the piece of crap we've been passing as rock n roll at present.The only fault is that the release dates quoted by axl, the band and the management. Other than that it wasnt the worst comeback at all.Infact, it cannot be called a comeback album coz except axl no original gnr member ''came back''.
This is simply a revenge mission by the US on Libya. This will teach them a lesson for attacking Doc Emmett Brown in Back to the Future....... Damn Libyans
I agree with everything he said (because i'm a realistic person who has his eyes open), that said i don't think it deserves to be here. It wasn't that CD was shit it was simply not AS GOOD as the hype dictated. If it was a surprise album it would have been liked a lot more (but probably never loved) and forgotten about in a few years time.
Im pretty sure WTTJ wears a safety helmet when hes on the internets.
Johan is not nuts. At least not anymore nuts than the rest of us. He is ruled by his own psychology, which includes jealousy that he cannot sing that high.
All I care about is I REALLY LIKE CD!!!!
chinese is a great album......enough said.

Discussion in 'General WWE' started by Stopspot, Sep 30, 2016.
Scum rednecks.
WTF? That really sucks to hear.
Get well soon, Jamie Noble!
Crazy shit
Tailing someone to their house cos they cut you off is a bit much. Stabbing em is straight up wrong. And illegal. Hope he recovers well
I never understood road rage on this level. You get cut off, get mad, fine... But to follow the dude, get out your car and threaten him... Then fight him and get your friends to stab him over it?
And people wonder why I enjoy staying home
It was probably Sheamus trying to finish off what he started.
oh crap that is scary, we got a lot of those around here
To wank your tiny cock?
That's called the South.
Bet it was Nidia
Jamie Noble got caught running around with Torrie Wilson again !
This is also drugs I'm sure lol. Sounded like shady guys any ways.
Yeah it is likely. Drugs make people do some stupid crap out of paranoia.
Curse those mf's that stabbed Jamie Noble
Noble was funny as hell!

National Prosecution Awards for Top Prosecutors
Federal/Provincial/Territorial Heads of Prosecutions Committee
Winnipeg – October 15, 2012 – The Federal/Provincial/Territorial Heads of Prosecutions Committee has recognized the outstanding accomplishments of two prosecutors, who were honoured at an awards ceremony held last Friday. The award program, instituted in 2006, honours professional excellence, exemplary service, and outstanding achievements.
The awards were presented by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Manitoba, the Honourable Andrew Swan.
The following prosecutors were chosen for their contributions to advancing and promoting prosecutions within the Canadian criminal justice system:
Ms. M. B. Lorraine Préfontaine, Director, Special Prosecutions Branch with the Manitoba Prosecution Service, and Mr. Robert W.G. Gillen, QC, former Assistant Deputy Attorney General of British Columbia, were both awarded the Commitment to Justice Award 2012. Their nominations describe the accomplishments and merit of both prosecutors:
- Ms. Préfontaine's passion for the law and tireless efforts to improve how justice is delivered has earned her this award. Where others might see obstacles in the system, Ms. Préfontaine sees challenges to be conquered. She has taken many roles in the Department and has worked with many groups over the years at the provincial and federal levels, including a leading role with the High Risk Offender Working Group where she was instrumental in advocating for reforms to better protect the public. Her unwavering dedication to improving the effectiveness of the criminal justice system has made her an invaluable resource for Manitoba Justice.
- Mr. Gillen's tremendous contribution to the administration of justice has earned him this award. His commitment to the well-being of the Criminal Justice Branch, its employees and its role in the overall administration of justice has been unwavering. Mr. Gillen led the BC Prosecution Service through difficult fiscal times and significant changes in the legal landscape, staunchly safeguarding the role of the prosecutor and principled decision-making in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion. He constantly demonstrated a deep sense of loyalty to, and appreciation for, the role of the prosecutors and their place in the furtherance of justice.
The FPT Heads of Prosecutions Committee brings together the leaders of Canada's prosecution services to promote assistance and cooperation on operational issues relating to criminal prosecutions. The Committee also provides the prosecution perspective to Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers and Deputy Ministers Responsible for Justice.

Gustavus Adolphus Union, German in full Gustav-Adolf-Werk der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland, worldwide organization for the spreading of the Christian faith. It was founded by the Lutheran superintendent Gottlob Grossmann at Leipzig in 1832 as a "living" bicentennial memorial to the Swedish king Gustav II Adolf, Protestant hero of the Thirty Years' War killed at the Battle of Lützen. Organized to support Protestant minority churches in Germany and abroad, the union gave its first support in 1833 to a fledgling Lutheran congregation in Bavaria, and in 1842 it merged with a similar society in Darmstadt. Membership was open to all Protestants and also included a few Roman Catholics. Dues were invested, and interest was used to provide church and school buildings, pastors and teachers, and, after 1945, support for refugee communities. World War II greatly increased and spread the work of the organization. In the late 20th century the organization was expending about 7 million deutsche marks (about 3.6 million euros) annually.

It's hard to believe all the services Shade Tree offers to the ladies. When I think of shelter, I imagine cots lined up on the floor and people sitting around just to get off of the sidewalk. I volunteered for about a month for school and I have learned that this place is so much more. Shade Tree is not just a shelter. It is a place to get what you need to start again. They have a variety of services available. When you are hungry, you are fed. And not just soup and sandwiches. You can have cereal and milk for breakfast or oatmeal and coffee. I was there during lunch time and saw once they served pizza and another time they had turkey. If you want to take classes to learn about finances they have a bank come in to teach it, if you want to exercise they have yoga (Yoga at a homeless shelter is amazing!), you want to learn computers, they have a class for that. If you want to get a job, they have a program to help you do that, too. It seems as if anything you might need to help you get back on your feet, Shade Tree has is for you. In regards to one of the other comments, while I volunteered there I did see one altercation between some of the ladies there and I think the staff handled it well (I couldn't do there job) but I would think that when you get that many people living in the same place together stuff like that is bound to happen once in a while.
Why would they Shade Tree have a half way house they own but the director Marlene lets her daughter live there and pull an income from Shad Tree. Should be called the Shady Tree for everything odd going on there.
This place id horrible they call CPS on my sister because she is not stupid and she made complaints on them because they violated her religious civil and human rights. We are gling to hire an attorney to come after Shade Tree because of this matter this is the most corrupted place a woman can stay with her children they are deceitful and scandless this the worst place to stay in. They will lie to cover their tracks i dong trust the executor or the social workers there Angela Schi and other social workers are lying and they use the law and lies to get to people that complains about the abuse. Dont give them money or stay there. Lawsuit coming soon for them. They will soon see and im going to make it go viral
This is a horrible place to stay they have denied children food they give gify cards with no money on them they gave a 11 yr old girl provocative clothing to wear to school they have violated so many rights that we are looking to sue them for it. They have kept mail and sent it back while she was staying there they have withheld insurance cards from a mother who had a sick child rules only apply to certain people she never received her birth certificate after being thete for 90 days and you suppose to get in 2 weeks they have also kept mail for to long that she lost her child care and she lost her job. My niece and nephew are stressed out to thr point that they need cancelling after the things they have been through.. We are going file civil rights law suit against Shade Tree homeless shelter they are pathetic and racist. I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay there.
This place is the worse place ever. The people are rude they eant give you your mail. They say they will help you get your birth certificate they never will or medical cards. My sister kids need to go to Dr the state says they sent card over a month ago and she never recieved it. They also said they were going to help her get her birth certificate so she can get her I.D it never happened. She was written because my nephew blanket was hanging off bed she asked for copy if right up and they wouldn't give her one. This place is the worst i tried to contact the director they never called
She says there is a lot of illegal activity and drugs in that shelter. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone..
Recently within the new year I had an opportunity to work with Shade Tree, I found some of the workers very personable and a great help, polite, nice, and everything you would expect. As far as the Shade Tree director goes I found her not helpful and quite rude. I think because there was no television spot in it for her she could have cared less.
We are a Ministry that would love to reach out specifically to abused women and children and thought this would be a perfect place to donate both our time and resources, but the Director for Shade Tree by the name Brandi mentioned that they cannot have any religion or christian group come in. We are not a religious group, we just want to show love to these people who are hurting, lost and needy in terms of giving our time and their material needs. So i am in doubt if all of the recipient are actually getting much needed help emotionally, economically, mentally and spiritually. And are the donations being accounted for???
A wonderful and much needed charity that provides vital support and care to the women, children..and pets who seek it's help in their most depserate times.
I was very moved after my visit to Shade Tree as the support and care this shelter offers women and their families really is life changing. All credit to the team that work so hard to make this such a positive and supportive environment to be in.
Shade Tree truly understands what drives women to stay in these situations and by allowing them to bring their pets, which can often be a reason for them to stay, enables them to escape their home life without fear of consequence. The work they do is amazing.
What a wonderful service this nonprofit provides, not only women and children but their pets in the time of need. Bless you all.
One of my friends invited me to attend their annual walk last year then again this year. It was such a great time. Seeing the staff, kids, babies, friends, family, pets; walking together, talking together, laughing together all in support to raise money for the shelter. Staff at the shelter talked about stories of their clients with such passion to help that definitely rubbed of me, making me want to help more. If you don't take away anything from the experience, at the least it reminds you to count your blessings. I look forward to helping in other ways and will continue to support these events.
There are a lot of families out there that need help; especially those with pets and children. It's good to know there are places out there where people can go to get back on their feet AND be safe.
The Shade Tree sounds like a HORRIBLE place. Full of discrimination, divisiveness and hatred. They accept some people and turn away others based on infantile notions of body morphology. Dividing families and destroying peoples sense of family unit.
On a convention to Las Vegas, I was able to spend a Saturday morning at The Shade Tree. It was the most rewarding event. The woman and the children all smiled and seemed so happy. No one would know the troubles each one had. I spent the time mostly with the children, and I was better for it. God was there that day. They were entertaining and made me feel so welcome. The Shade Tree does so much for all of the woman, children and now their animals that it is great to make donations to such a worthy cause. It has a very close family type atmosphere and helps the woman so much. They are empowered and made to feel they can now have a second chance at life.
I am the mother of a daughter who was murdered by the father of her child back in 1996. For years we did not know what had happened and it wasn't until 2007 that her body was identified. Her murderer is now awaiting trial. A few years back I was in Las Vegas for a convention and I was privileged to go to The Shade Tree and see the fabulous job that Marlene and her staff accomplish on a daily basis to help women and children who have been abused and hurt by the one person who is suppose to love and take care of them. This shelter has so affected me that I have joined my local domestic abuse and rape victim organization and my goal is to build a shelter modeled after The Shade Tree. I am so inspired every year now to go to The Shade Tree while in Vegas and volunteer for a few hours and learn from Marlene and her staff what it is like to truly give back to those who find themselves in this horrible situation. If only there had been a Shade Tree available in 1996 my daughter and many others may be alive today.

Automating Configuration Manager with PowerShell
About this Course
This class is not your average Microsoft class. This class is delivered by an Enterprise Client management Microsoft MVP who has been working with PowerShell and Configuration Manager for years and where only real life solutions matter. Throughout the class not only will you be brought to a whole new level of expertise, but also understand and be able to explain why your new knowledge is valuable to you and the entire organization. This is your ticket to the future of management and automation.
Learn how to automate and simplify your day to day management in Configuration Manager. All Configuration Manager Admins know that there are a lot of trivial tasks in Configuration Manager that we need to carry out almost every day or week or month, like deploying software updates, creating new packages, applications, and more. Doing all these tasks manually is time consuming, and prevents you from spending time on more valuable and innovative ideas and tasks. PowerShell is arguably the second native language for IT-PROs, and we believe that every single IT-PRO must use PowerShell to stay ahead of the curve.
This course teaches all the necessary techniques that you may need to know for managing your Configuration Manager environment. During the labs you will learn how to use the Configuration Manager PowerShell Module and how to build your own custom solutions. Kent Agerlund and Kaido Järvemets have developed this class based on years of experience of implementing and managing different sizes of Configuration Manager Environments.
After the class you will have production ready scripts that takes your daily Configuration Manager management to a whole new level!

Wei-Yin Chen's first three pitches tonight missed the strike zone. His fifth missed every glove in the ballpark and landed on the wrong side of the fence.
Derek Jeter hit his 25th leadoff home run, breaking Rickey Henderson's franchise record and giving the Yankees a 1-0 lead. Jeter clobbered an 88 mph fastball.
Nick Swisher followed with a double to right-center field on an 83 mph slider.
Not exactly what the Orioles wanted to see from their Taiwanese pitcher in his major league debut.
Robinson Cano flied to center for the first out, but Chen hit Alex Rodriguez with a 90 mph fastball. Mark Teixeira lined to left on an 84 mph changeup, another hard-hit ball in the inning, and Curtis Granderson struck out on a 74 mph curveball.
Chen returned to the dugout with his pitch count at 24, including 13 strikes. Brian Matusz threw 30 pitches in the opening inning last night.
Update: J.J. Hardy tied the game with his second home run. The Orioles have homered in the first or second inning in all five games this season.
Nine of Hardy's 32 career homers with the Orioles have come in the first or second inning.
Before Chen did it tonight, the last pitcher to surrender a home run to the first batter he faced in the majors was Cleveland's Zach Putnam on Sept. 13, 2011 at Texas (Adrian Beltre). That little bit of information comes courtesy of Elias Sports.
Matt Wieters just singled with two outs in the first, giving him five straight hits going back to last night.
Update: The Orioles took a 2-1 lead in the first after Garcia threw two wild pitches with Nick Johnson at the plate. The first ball almost hit Johnson in the head.
Chen struck out two while retiring the side in the top of the second, and he needed only 10 pitches. He fanned Brett Gardner on a 92 mph fastball.

A Heartfelt Goodbye to a Dear Friend, @A_E_M
Tuesday, August 26th, was a very sad day in the family and community here at CLNS Radio. Tuesday marks the day we lost a dear friend, colleague, NCAA guru, blogging machine, and PODCAST PROFESSIONAL. Long time CLNS Radio podcaster, and columnist, Alex Mazzolini passed away Tuesday evening. Alex Mazzolini was not only a veteran podcaster, he was also the first person (besides Brandon Paul) that I shared my vision for a new concept; a "blog" full of "internet radio shows."
Today we call this concept a Sports Podcast Network...
[VIDEO] David Stern mentions several Celtics in his Hall of Fame Speech
Eloquent as ever, former Commissioner David Stern, accepts his induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Stern gives 15 minute speech, and mentions his first impact moments, working with the NBA , revolved around the racial tensions of the 1960's and how Bob Cousy and Bill Russell working together started to tear down those prejudices. The speech is Mr. Stern at his finest, caddy and snide, yet laced with some comical moments. He certainly doesn't fall short on his mentions of the Boston Celtics franchise and Alumni.
Happy 86th Birthday to Bob Cousy
The Houdini of the Hardwood, Bob Cousy, turns 86 years young today.

Why a Netbook?
Several weeks ago I decided to go out and purchase a Netbook. A Gateway LT Series Netbook to be exact. Why you ask?
For starters Netbooks are the fastest growing pc market and more customers will be using those netbooks over the coming months. As a developer I was curious to see what all the latest web technologies would run like on it (Silverlight, Flash, HTML5, AJAX, and jQuery).
What would Silverlight run like with a single core 1.2 GHz processor and only 2 gigs ram? Would I be able to do Fullscreen HD video streaming like on Netflix (the answer is yes). I was curious too if it would be possible to use it as a development machine. Wouldn't it be cool to have a portable two pound dev station with me at all times?
Windows 7 Ultimate and will it Blend?
The first thing I did was throw Windows 7 Ultimate RTM on it and I'm happy to report it runs surprisingly well. There have been some rumors going around that only the starter edition would be available to install on Netbooks. That is simply not the case and you can install any version you wish.
What about Visual Studio, Expression Blend, Silverlight and WPF? The answer is yes! At the recent Harrisburg MSDN Mid-Atlantic Roadshow I did the entire show on the Netbook over a tethered 3g connection and Silverlight streaming/deepzoom both ran flawlessly.
Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 was also announced for download today. I was curious to see if I could get these new bits working on the Netbook. I quickly logged onto MSDN and pulled down VS2010 Beta 2 Ultimate. Thanks to some speedy servers and FIOS I had the bits within 20 minutes. I then opened up the ISO and copied the files to a local USB Key, the same key I used to install Windows 7 on the Netbook. The entire process took about 45 minutes.
A video is worth a thousand pictures
When talking about performance I think it is better to actually see it than me throw up some benchmarks on my blog. So I put together a little Screencast for you. In addition I wanted to record and edit the video itself entirely using just the Netbook.
To do that I used the Expression Encoder 3 Screen Capture tool and Windows Live Movie Maker. It definitely stretched the little guy to the limit and you'll see it bog down a bit when I'm running the screen capture tool and a couple of the dev tools at the same time. Realistically you wouldn't be running a screen capture app and the dev tools at the same time but I show you how to get some more performance when doing that as well.
Here is what you'll see running on the Netbook in the video:
- Windows 7 Ultimate
- Windows Experience Index
- Visual Studio 2008
- Visual Studio 2010
- Expression Blend 3.0
- Expression Encoder 3.0 Screen Capture Tool
Watch the video here on Channel9. Bonus points if you can name the font I used for the overlays in Movie Maker. 😉
