"It is significant news that the live and export numbers increased from a year ago," Maryland Jockey Club president Tom Chuckas said. "We finished strong as betting was up in May on nine of 11 days of live racing. Our handle improved $4.1 million on Preakness day and $3.1 million last Friday which helped the final numbers and I have to thank our racing office for carding two unbelievable cards."
"We continue to enhance the infield experience since changing the beverage policy after the 2008 Preakness and got lucky as Maroon 5's popularity skyrocketed after we booked them," added Chuckas. "I don't think you can put a dollar figure on what it meant having trainer Doug O'Neill bring the Kentucky Derby winner here two days after winning the Derby instead of just three days before the Preakness. Their presence increased our visibility in the market as Doug and his team became part of the community leading up to the big weekend."
Castellano, Ness, Midwest Thoroughbred, Inc. Capture Spring Meet Titles
The eight-week Pimlico spring meeting ended Saturday afternoon with Abel Castellano, Jamie Ness and Midwest Thoroughbred, Inc. winning individual titles. The 29-day stand began at the historic home of the Preakness Stakes (G1) on March 30.
Castellano won the first race of the meet and never looked back, dominating the rider standings with 41 victories, 22 more than Horacio Karamanos. The 28-year-old rode winners for 14 different trainers, including 23 for Ness. The duo teamed up for six multiple win days, including four on May 11.
"I am so happy with the way the meet went," Castellano said. "My agent Kevin Witte put in a lot of hard work and I wouldn't have won the meet without him. I was winning races nearly every day (24 of the 29 days) as trainers gave me an opportunity to show them what I can do."
Castellano arrived in Maryland as a 19-year-old and has been a consistent top five rider in the state since. He captured his first career riding title during the 2003 fall meet at Laurel Park and waited nearly nine years for his second.
"I was very young when I won that first title and almost expect it to happen all the time," added Castellano, who has 73 winners in Maryland this year, three more than reigning champion Sheldon Russell. "Now I am married with two kids and another on the way and have more responsibility. I am taking things more seriously-putting in more work in the mornings. When the big-name riders came in last week and asked who the leading rider was, it made me happy that they knew I was."
Ness saddled 24 winners from just 65 starters during the stand, 13 more than Dane Kobiskie and Hugh McMahon. Ness leads the nation with 178 winners through May 22, including 47 in Maryland.
"Riding for Jamie Ness is the best," said Castellano. "I know that every horse is at 100 percent and riding horses like that increases your confidence. I work a lot of horses for him in the morning and love having the opportunity to ride for him."
Midwest Thoroughbreds topped the owner standings at Old Hilltop, finishing first 24 times from 64 starters, all with Ness.

What time do graduates need to arrive?
Each school/college has its own ceremony where the graduates will go on stage and have their photo taken. Some of these are happening before the main Commencement ceremony and some others are happening afterwards.
If you are graduating from the School of Education, the College of Arts & Sciences and the Walker School of Business & Technology (Undergraduate), you will have an individual ceremony beginning at 8:30 a.m. Please check in by 7:30 a.m.
If you are graduating from the Walker School of Business & Technology (Graduate), Leigh Gerdine College of Fine Arts or the School of Communications, you should check in by 9 a.m. since your individual ceremony will be held immediately following the main ceremony (roughly 11:15 a.m.).
The procession before the main Commencement ceremony begins at 9:30. Guests should be seated by 9:15 a.m.
Where do I check in?
Each school and college has its own check-in at The Muny. Please take a look at this map to see where your check-in is located.
Where do I get my cap and gown?
St. Louis area graduates may purchase caps and gowns at the University Bookstore until May 10. If you are located outside of the St. Louis area, please visit the Jostens website.
What side does the tassel go on?
The tassel should go on the right side of your cap until after you have graduated and then it can be moved to the left.

Tickets are not needed to attend the ceremony. Please make sure that your guests know which school/college you are graduating from and let them know what time your individual ceremony is being held.

February 24, 2011 Props to Philadelphia Weekly + Related Local Resources
I am not a fan of everything published in Philadelphia Weekly, but I do tend to pick it up on a weekly basis mainly for their excellent "Arts & Culture" Calendar. I've attended several cool events that I found in PW. Lately, I've been picking up PW for more than just making my weekend plans. This month their "News and Opinions" section has featured some good writing on justice issues in our city. While I've got my beefs with PW, I definitely have to give props to the publication for talking about these issues and for reporting on tragic and hopeful local developments. Also want to give props to the writers: F.H. Rubino, Tara Murtha, and Aaron Case. Keep up the good work!
"In Kensington, Renewed Hope for Troubled Souls" (2/23/11) – For my liberti church people, this is a great gospel story taking place in our own 'hood. We should be praying for and networking with these people. Check out Innercity Missions website.
"In Philly, More Safe Places for Child-Abuse Victims" (2/16/11)- Helpful information and resources for those in our community serving children. Check out the Philadelphia Childrens Alliance for more info.
"For Americans in the Sex Trade, Still Little Hope" (2/9/11)- Tragic story, but there are developments both in the city and the state to fight the injustices perpetrated against girls who have been manipulated and in some cases forced into prostitution. Also check out the documentary "Very Young Girls" and the work of Covenant House PA and Dawn's Place.

Two Graduating Seniors Receive Fulbright Teaching Assistantships for 2012-2013
Rory Jones taught in Germany, Lauren Raddell in Austria
Two graduating seniors have been awarded Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships for the 2012-13 academic year.
Rory Jones, who is graduating with a double major in history and German, has been awarded a teaching assistantship in Germany.
Lauren Raddell, a business major with a minor in German, has been awarded a teaching assistantship in Austria. She will be teaching in the city of Vöcklabruck.
The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship program is one of several academic exchange programs administered by the U.S. Department of State. The application process begins in the fall when prospective candidates are interviewed by faculty members on their campus, who then rank and recommend students to the Fulbright Commission. The commission reviews the applications and selects a number of candidates to recommend to partner countries, who then screen the applicants again and match the candidates with schools in different cities.
Nine Southwestern students have received Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships in the past five years. Emily Gutzmer, Zach Zeman and Tanlyn Roelofs were awarded assistantships in 2010; Carolyn Acker, Erin Osterhaus and Jamie Falconnier were awarded assistantships in 2009; and Amy Tanguay and Chelsea Edge were awarded assistantships in 2008.
"Fulbright Teaching Assistantships offer our students the opportunity to gain experience in managing the complexities of intercultural exchange," said Erika Berroth, associate professor of German. "Teaching and learning across cultures promotes thinking creatively and contributes to developing skills and attitudes that support proficient communication. Our students realize their potential as cultural ambassadors and mediators."
Students selected for the Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship Program receive round-trip transportation to the host country, a salary for the academic year based on living costs in the host country, an allowance for books and research, and medical insurance. They have an orientation program, participate in a variety of enrichment activities during the course of the year, and benefit from becoming part of an extensive network of Fulbright Scholars. Most English Teaching Assistants work in their schools for 20 to 30 hours a week, which leaves plenty of time to pursue independent research projects, internships or community service projects.

I spent most of the day after Hurricane Sandy feeling annoyed.
As we all know by now, Sandy had much less than the predicted impact on Vermont. In the area where I live, she had almost no impact at all: a rainy night. No power loss, no flooding, and we've gotten more downed tree limbs from summer thunderstorms. Shortly after we woke up on the morning after, the sun broke through, the clouds cleared, and the temperatures soared to an unseasonably warm 66 degrees.
And on that glorious day, my two oldest girls had no preschool. They had no preschool because the prudent school district had declared all schools closed on the previous afternoon. (This during a week when they already had a day off of school for parent conferences).
So I spent part of the day cursing the Addison Central Supervisory Union for caring about the well-being of my children, and leaving me with three children under the age of 5 on a day when I would otherwise have been running multiple errands with a single child.
I spent another part of the day cursing Middlebury College, which had not released my husband from work. Middlebury was more tentative than the school district, cancelling classes and activities on the evening of Sandy's expected arrival, but keeping a regular schedule the following day until further notice. There was no further notice, of course.
So, unexpectedly, I had three children at home with no husband to help out, and I felt very annoyed.
I was also annoyed with our house. Guess what flooded our basement that same morning? Not torrential hurricane rains: our new puppy. Our new puppy who, while tussling near the house with the neighbors' puppy, brushed up against an outside water spigot. The water ran all morning without my noticing, trickling through a window well and down to the basement.
Once the water was turned off and my daughters were napping, I decided to take advantage of the beautiful day by…raking leaves. A questionable decision, since I can think of few jobs that are more brutally thankless than raking leaves. Five minutes in, I was annoyed again. WHY do we live among all these TREES? This is making no difference AT ALL. Where am I going to PUT all these leaves? It was then that I stepped in a hidden pile of dog droppings that one of our "best friends" had deposited under the leaves.
Disgruntled, I returned indoors, plopped in front of my computer, and opened up Facebook for a little mindless diversion.
What I found on Facebook was far from mindless: updates from friends along the East Coast who'd lost power, who'd spent hours listening to the winds howl, who had seriously flooded basements. Reports of rescues, deaths, newborns evacuated from NYU Hospital, no power for a week. One friend's parents had narrowly escaped her childhood home in the Rockaways, which was subsequently destroyed. My own parents, in the D.C. suburbs, lost electricity for over 36 hours.
As I sat before that glowing screen, I realized that I'd spent the day being annoyed by the very things for which I should be thankful. In states of emergency, most people pare their concerns down to two things: loved ones, and shelter. My loved ones were safe. My children were with me. My husband wasn't home because he had a job. And my house, however soggy and leaf-strewn, was still standing.
I felt like the most shallow, selfish person who ever lived.
I tend to think of myself as fairly compassionate, but I suspect that we're all, at our deepest cores, selfish and shallow. Our immediate concern in most situations is with how they affect US. The day after Sandy devastated the East Coast, I was mildly inconvenienced, and for a while, that was all I could see.
It requires stopping for a moment and looking a little further than the tips of our noses, to realize that most of the things we take for granted – things we may even grumble about – are in fact things to be thankful for: blessings. Maybe that happens in the form of a natural disaster; I've seen some amazing, simply grateful reactions from the people hardest hit by Sandy. Maybe it happens in the form of a Facebook break. Or maybe it happens in the form of a holiday, like Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving, I hope to spend less time feeling annoyed, and more time feeling genuinely thankful: for my family, for our house, that Sandy was merciful to Vermont. And while I'm looking past the tip of my own nose, I suppose I might also consider how to help those who don't have as much for which to be thankful.

The document below is a copy of a Department of Justice brochure advising managers to be gay friendly.
Socially conservative commenters have been roasting this brochure while social liberal commenters and most of the media has ignored it.
After reading quite a few comments about the brochure, I decided to look it up and read it myself. I may be just getting blasé about these things, but this brochure didn't make me angry the way it has some people. I don't like it, but I'm not outraged by it. My basic feeling is that this is about what I've come to expect from the DOJ.
It is certainly a heavy-handed piece of literature. However most of the things it advises are simple courtesy, which, if they'd been put forward in a less intimidating and bizarre way probably wouldn't offend anybody.
It would never occur to me to call people in my office by degrading names, whatever their affiliations or personal lifestyle. If that is an issue at the Department of Justice for any group of people, or, for that matter, for any individual, it needs to be addressed. However this brochure with is not the way to do it.
The problem with the brochure is that it doesn't seem to be so much about good office practices so far as courtesy and civility are concerned as it is a vaguely threatening piece "advising" managers to take a particular position on a political/social issue. That is out of line. It's way out of line, verging on flat-out illegal.
Before I go to the illegal stuff, I want to take a brief detour and talk about the crazy stuff. Advising managers to turn the Department of Justice into a therapy session for LGBT people and their various problems is not only unprofessional, it is totally out of line, and … well … crazy. That is not the purpose of the DOJ. Behavior like that would destroy the work environment and create an emotional mess which was all about the various employees and their private lives instead of the work to be done.
I'm assuming that the Department of Justice does important work. I know that it's charged with doing important work, work so important that we need employees who are eminently sane and responsible to do it.
There is no reason I can think of why a manager would be going around inviting employees to "come out" to him or her about their sexuality, or their family life or any other personal matter. That kind of behavior is not only inappropriate and invasive, it is flat-out destructive to a professional environment in the workplace.
What employees do in the privacy of their own bedrooms should stay in the privacy of their bedrooms. The workplace is not a coffee klatch.
It is also out of line — this is where it the brochure leans toward illegality — to try to coerce employees to attend gay pride events or keep gay pride literature and gay pride badges in their offices.
It is wholly inappropriate for the DOJ to instruct managers to attend gay pride events or to encourage their subordinates to do so. This kind of behavior oversteps the bounds of the employee-employer relationship. Since these events are quasi political, it also comes perilously close to a government agency coercing its employees to advocate for political issues as a requirement of their employment.
A lot of commenters appear to be upset over the advice not to use the phrase "husband and wife" in invitations to office parties (the DOJ sounds like a social club rather than the United States Department of Justice all through this memo.) I agree with these commenters. If someone is offended by the use of the phrase husband and wife, then they are denying reality.
If the DOJ wants to establish a policy that the partners of homosexual employees are to be included at occasions where spouses are also included, then they should establish that policy. There's no reason to censor the use of language to communicate that.
This heavy-handed, vaguely threatening memo sounds like a caricature of an office memo. I notice that it's not just a memo, it's a designed brochure, which means the government spent quite a bit of money and talent putting it together.
What the memo seems to show us is a Department of Justice that is focused on trivialities instead of justice. It sounds like they've got quite a party atmosphere going there and that managers are way too involved in their employees' private lives.
I think an office should be professional and that it should treat all its employees professionally. People form friendships at work and if they want to discuss their private lives within the framework of these friendships and they can do that without it interfering with their work, that is ok.
However, instructing managers to encourage their employees to "come out" to them about private sexual matters and to make their office environments into "safe places" for this behavior is not only unprofessional, it abrogates the purpose of the DOJ. So far as I know the United States Department of Justice does not have intra-office psycho-babbling as part of its mandate.
This memo seems to be written for a Department of Justice that is being run like a gathering of the Real Housewives of the DOJ.
If our government employees spend their time "coming out" to one another and setting up parties, they're wasting our money. If government employees come to work in drag or dressed in other inappropriate ways, they are not being professional and should be dismissed.
This has nothing to do with sexual preference. It has everything to do with maintaining a professional, courteous and public work environment.
Our society has gotten so touchy-feely, and so focused on empowering the nuts who reside in it that we've lost sight of the fact that workplaces are environments where people do work. If this is how they run the DOJ, I can tell you that I think we the people are probably being ripped off.

On Wednesday, a lively and engaged crew of high school students from Global Classrooms of Chicago stopped by our showroom for a hands-on learning experience. Students from Kenny Bae's Urban Planning class visited Lightology to learn about lighting and electricity.
It was a different crowd than our usual student tours, typically given to college-aged students of design. We welcomed the younger group with open arms and were thrilled to find them so captivated by the tour, led by Lightology sales consultant and lighting expert, Jeremy Baker.
Favoring hands-on experience over textbook learning, Global Classrooms of Chicago engages students from various Chicago public schools in a supplementary, industry-driven education.
They are working on a project to re-light a room with more energy-efficient, less expensive fixtures. They stopped by today to get a feel for creative, more efficient & economic ways of doing so. At the end of their project they will submit a business proposal, and the best plan will be used to re-light one room of their school.
About Global Classrooms
Established in 2001, Global Classrooms has grown into an international program working in 24 cities around the world. Sponsored by the United Nations Association of the USA (USA-UN), the program's purpose is teaching students in underserved communities to be global citizens by bridging "the gap in the Model UN community between experienced programs and traditionally underserved public schools." (USNA.org)
At the core of the Global Classrooms' curriculum is the Model UN Conference, where students roleplay as international delegates and debate a variety of issues that challenge today's global community.

I'm not sure when Alex Gibney sleeps. The prolific documentarian (whose previous films include Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and the Oscar-winning Taxi to the Dark Side) has not one, not two, but three films in this year's Tribeca Film Festival (now, one of them is an omnibus, but that total doesn't include his May theatrical release, the excellent Casino Jack and the United States of Money). My Trip to Al-Qaeda is his collaboration with author Lawrence Wright, who penned not only the essential volume The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, but co-wrote the screenplay to the eerily prescient 1998 film The Siege. The film is loosely centered on Wright's recent off-Broadway one-man show, which he did to purge himself of the more personal elements of writing the book, and in the interest of "opening up a dialogue" about terrorism in our world.
It begins in the lead-up to 9/11, which he calls "an event I spent the last eight years of my life trying to understand." He doesn't just go back the 1998 African embassy attacks, or the bombing at a Cape Town Planet Hollywood (which was linked to the outcry over The Siege), but to the 1981 assassination of Sadat and the Soviet war in Afghanistan. His story is organized in chapters, which spring from the historical background and into thoughts and reflections on the lead-up to 9/11 and the events that have followed.
The writer, a thoughtful and passionate Oklahoman, tells some shocking stories--I was unfamiliar with the horrifying tale of the 2002 Mecca girls' school fire (in which 14 young girls died and more than 50 were injured when they were not allowed to escape or be saved because there were "not properly covered"), or the sad story of the Kabul Zoo. There is pointed discussion of the war in Iraq ("we are following a script that has been written by Osama bin Laden"), and the torture debate (Wright is told, "this plays directly into the enemy playbook"). Particularly interesting are his reflections on his place as an objective journalist; he's been face to face with the most vile extremists, and listened to their rhetoric, dutifully taking down his notes. But where does the reporter end and the human being begin? "Who am I when I'm talking to Al-Qaeda?" he asks.
The structure is loose and conversational--Wright and Gibney jump from one section to the next in more of a topical than chronological order. "Sometimes you can't tell things literally," Wright explains. "You have to them in a more impressionistic way." That notion allows Gibney some freedom in the execution of the film, which uses Wright's monologue as a framework but also intercuts it with more conventional documentary footage of the writer at work and traveling, conducting interviews and accumulating his story. The assemblage and integration is flawless, vividly complimenting Wright's story (impressively photographed in an inventive style somewhat reminiscent of Soderbergh's Gray's Anatomy) with chilling archival footage and first-person accounts. The film's only real flaws are with its somewhat abrupt ending and, to some degree, with Wright's on-stage delivery; it's a little stilted, particularly in comparison to how off-hand and conversational his interviews and narration are.
My Trip to Al-Qaeda is packed with information without overwhelming the viewer--it is intelligent and thoughtful, Wright's words and Gibney's images painting a picture that is bleak and troublesome. He does not soft-sell the hopelessness of this fight; Al-Qaeda is, in his words, "an engine that runs on the despair of the Muslim world." These fundamentalists see this as a holy war in which death is not only not feared, but sought out. How do you defeat this enemy? But Wright will not give in, either. "Al-Qaeda can't destroy America," he notes, echoing a key scene in The Siege. "Only we can do that... to ourselves." My Trip to Al-Qaeda is powerful, thought-provoking stuff.

Number of claims completed has decreased for the past two months since an overtime ban took effect.
The Office of Personnel Management continued to chip away at the federal retirement claims backlog in June, though it completed fewer claims than expected and the backlog remains higher than anticipated.
The pile of incomplete claims now stands at 25,542, a reduction of 2.5 percent, or 668 claims, compared with the previous month. The agency had anticipated the backlog would stand at 16,078 at the end of June, according to a monthly status report released Friday.
OPM in April warned that budget cuts from sequestration could hinder progress on the retirement backlog, because the agency would be forced to cut overtime hours for claims processors.
While the backlog has continued to shrink in the two months since the overtime ban went into effect, the number of claims processed has decreased in both of those months. Claims completed fell from 13,582 in April before overtime ended, to 10,954 in May to 8,683 in June. Meanwhile, the number of incoming applications increased slightly in May and June.
Some federal retirees still wait several months, or even years, for their applications to be fully processed. OPM administers benefits for 2.5 million retirees and completes about 100,000 new claims annually.

THE LATEST scientists to sing the praises of soy aren't human nutritionists but dairy scientists. Their current research shows that feeding whole but cracked raw soybeans to cows reduces the amount of body heat they generate, while improving their reproductive efficiency.
"Until now, we've been mostly focused on helping a cow lose body heat through the use of fans, sprinklers and misters," explains University of Missouri animal scientist Jim Spain. "But another approach is to reduce the amount of heat her body generates in the first place. Adjusting her diet may be the best way to do that."
Working with fellow animal scientists Matt Lucy and Don Spiers, Spain is looking at the role of fatty acids found in soybeans in optimizing cow performance. These specific essential fatty acids are influential in the reproduction of high-producing dairy cows, he says. "Fat has a lower heat increment, meaning when a cow eats it, she'll generate less heat that her body needs to lose."
The researchers believe that higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids boost hormone synthesis, specifically progesterone, which is necessary for development of the reproductive system. "In high-producing, nutritionally stressed animals, we think these relationships are important, and especially pertinent in the case of heat-stressed cows," Spain says.
Finding the soybean link
A few years back, Spain stumbled onto a doctoral thesis written in the 1960s that stated dairy cow sweat is high in concentrations of the essential fatty acid found in soybeans. Spain says it was the missing piece to this small but complicated dairy nutrition puzzle. "The cow is losing the fatty acid through her skin secretions as well as her milk. What we're finding is that we can add it through her diet," he says.
His current research is focused on finding whether a cow's fatty acid balance changes when she is heat stressed. "We're also trying to measure how much effect feeding her soybeans has on her fatty acid balance," he says.
The other part of their research challenge, he says, is finding out if heat stress can be reduced by feeding cows a diet that generates less body heat. After measuring these factors, the researchers plan to induce reproductive synchronization in each group of cows and to compare the responses. "We can measure parameters that we know are associated with cow fertility, such as the size of the ovarian follicles and the amount of steroid hormones," he explains.
Bean form is key
Spain and his colleagues started their experiments by looking at which form of soybeans is best in dairy diets and have settled on including between 4 and 6 lbs. of the raw soybeans, straight out of the bin, in each cow's ration. Spain says he thinks roasted beans could be used, as well. "We've found that the beans need to be cracked, though, to help the cow break down the seed coating," he says. "Otherwise, they go right through the animal whole.
"Ground or extruded soybeans don't have the same effect as whole," he adds, "since the rumen breaks down the fatty acids too thoroughly.
"Before producers could successfully implement this concept into their herd diets, they would need to have all their other herd nutrition in line," he says. "This is a way to fine-tune already good herd management."
Over the years, as the industry has selected cows for milk production, "we've made them much more sensitive to heat stress," Spain says. "One of the negative impacts of heat stress is decreased fertility. It's hard to overstate the economic importance of reproductive efficiency on a high-production dairy farm.
"We can't eliminate heat stress, but we can minimize the effects of it and improve the cow's recovery from it," he notes. "This is simply another tool that could help dairy farmers improve overall herd health and performance."

September 11th, 2017
NORTH NEWTON, KAN. – Few members of the Bethel College campus community need an introduction to the 2014 commencement speaker.
Dale R. Schrag, campus pastor and director of church relations, will retire at the end of the school year, wrapping up 30 years in which he served as director of libraries (1984-92) and director of marketing and church relations (1992-97) in addition to his current assignments.
And that's not even counting the four years he spent as at Bethel as a student, 1965-69, where he completed a B.A. in history with education licensure.
He will speak to the 2014 graduates during commencement ceremonies May 18 in Thresher Stadium (alternate location in case of inclement weather is Memorial Hall). He has titled his address "Always be a Thresher."
After spending two years working for a community organization in Arvada, Colorado, under the auspices of Mennonite Voluntary Service, Schrag earned a master's degree in library science at Indiana University, Bloomington.
He was an instructor and assistant professor, and held several different library positions, at Wichita State University, 1975-84. He completed an M.A. in history at WSU in 1984.
As a scholar of history, Schrag's primary topic is the Dutch Renaissance theologian Erasmus, about whom Schrag has written frequently. He is the co-author, with Erika Rummel, of The Erasmus Collection in the Herzog August Bibliothek (2004).
Several generations of Bethel students know Schrag as the director of the convocation series and for giving speakers carefully researched, thoughtful introductions. Others will remember fondly his presence on countless Concert Choir spring break tours and the detailed poems he would write recapping each tour.
Schrag served the General Conference Mennonite Church for a number of years as the staff person for its Higher Education Council.
He is also widely known in Mennonite circles for his presentations on church and Anabaptist history, often appearing in character as one of the early Anabaptist leaders such as Pilgram Marpeck, Michael Sattler or Menno Simons.
The 2014 Bethel graduation ceremonies begin with the baccalaureate service May 18 at 10 a.m. in Bethel College Mennonite Church. The formal commencement starts just before 4 p.m. with the traditional Walk around the Green.
Both baccalaureate and commencement are open to the public.
Baccalaureate opening music features members of the Class of 2014. Other service music is by the Bethel College Concert Choir (with conductors, seniors Evan Koch, Renee Reimer and Aaron Tschetter) and by Karen Bauman Schlabaugh, professor of music, on organ.
This year's baccalaureate theme comes from a saying attributed to Thomas Aquinas – and, at Bethel, the convocation motto, closely linked to Dale Schrag – "Seldom affirm, never deny, always distinguish."
Three graduating seniors will offer meditations: Martin Olson, Denver, Colorado; Katie Regier, Whitewater; and Daniel Barrera, Newton, along with his mother, Rosa Barrera, assistant to the president.
The service will conclude with the traditional blessing for and candlelighting by seniors.
The baccalaureate planning committee is seniors Guadalupe Gonzalez, Wesley Goodrich, Megan Leary, Jared Regier, Renee Reimer and Ariel Silva, Bethel College Mennonite Church pastor Heidi Regier Kreider and three members of the Bethel faculty and administration.
The commencement program begins at 4 p.m. with music by the Epic Brass Quintet.
Jaime Lázaro, pastor of Iglesia El Centro in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and father of graduating senior Caleb Lázaro, will give the invocation. Graduating senior Kevin Coash, El Dorado, will offer the benediction.
Other Commencement Weekend events open to the public are the Senior Art Exhibit, including a reception in the Fine Arts Center Gallery area from 7-9 p.m. May 16, and the nurses' pinning ceremony, May 17 at 2 p.m. in Krehbiel Auditorium.
The FAC Gallery, Bethel College Bookstore and Mojo's Coffee in Schultz Student Center will be open extra hours during the weekend (gallery 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Saturday; bookstore 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, 12-2 p.m. Sunday; Mojo's 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday). Kauffman Museum invites everyone to the current special exhibit, "What's old is new," Saturday and Sunday, 1:30-4:30 p.m.
Alumni Weekend activities are not being held in conjunction with commencement this year. Instead, there are several special events just for graduating seniors and their families.
The Student Alumni Association will host a senior party and dinner, which includes presentation of a gift to all seniors, in the Will Academic Center atrium May 16. The Senior Art Exhibit reception follows in the Fine Arts Center at 7 p.m.
President Perry D. White and Dalene White are hosting seniors and their families for lunch on the Goerz House lawn May 17. And May 18, before the commencement ceremonies, the tradition of taking a senior class photo on the Administration Building steps will be revived, weather permitting.
Alumni Weekend will be June 6-8 on campus. Contact the Office of Alumni Relations at 316-284-5251 or see a complete Alumni Weekend schedule online at www.bethelks.edu/alumni/events-for-alumni-and-friends/alumni-weekend/.

Is the US Housing Market Attractive?
US housing, in my opinion, offers a great long-term opportunity. I know this probably sounds a bit crazy as most people think the US housing market is getting worse and has not begun to recover from its epic binge.
It has taken this asset class a great deal of time to find any semblance of stability. There are many US housing bears who will never change their opinion on this asset, but let me explain why now is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity to think about buying US residential real estate……………………………………….Full Article: Source

The Lion King
The Lion King (TLK) is an animated movie that was released by Disney in 1994. It is popular in the furry community and is reported by some as their first introduction to the fandom,[citation needed] especially since it was released right at the beginning of widespread public use of the Internet.
Many participate in The Lion King MUCK or on one of the other large number of multiplayer worlds inspired by The Lion King. In 2001, there were "about 10 or 12 TLK mucks out there, some doing better than others. There are about 40 or so private TLK RPG's out there (non forum) that are invite only. There are 40 or 50 or so forums".[1]
The Lion King is the third movie ever produced by Disney to feature a cast formed entirely of talking animals, after Bambi and Robin Hood.
The movie is part of a three movie series:
- The Lion King, released in 1994
- Simba's Pride or The Lion King 2, released as a direct to video in 1998 in North America.
- The Lion King 1 1/2 (The Lion King 3 in Europe) released as a direct to video in 2002.
Plot summary[edit]
The movie centers on a pride of lions living around the area of Pride Rock, a fertile region providing enough to sustain the pride and other inhabitants. Mufasa is their wise leader, and when his mate Sarabi gives birth to Simba there is much rejoicing - except with his brother, Scar, who decides that in order to control the pride he must eliminate both Simba and his father.
Through a series of unfortunate events, Scar manages to eliminate his brother and make it look to Simba as if he is responsible for the death. Wracked by guilt, Simba leaves the pride in Scar's control. However, he later returns with his friend Nala to cast his uncle out and reclaim his rightful place as leader.
During Scar's reign, the land became barren, due to either mismanagement or other untold environmental issues. This might also be a form of the old myth of the intimate relationship between the King and the Land: the virtue of the King is reflected in the health of the land.
There were a few points of controversy with the first movie:
- In one scene, Simba flops down into the grass and stirs up some pollen. The pollen hovers in the air of a moment and appears to make a word in the sky before drifting off. Many people claimed they saw 'SEX' as the word, however Disney claims the word is 'SFX' as in 'Special Effects'. While the scene was not modified in the VHS release of the movie, the DVD release has the word darkened out and hardly visible at all.
- This Disney animated film was based on William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
- There are many similarities between the movie and a Japanese anime series called Kimba the White Lion. Originally, The Lion King was to be called King of the Jungle and was to include a white lion as the lead. There are many parallels in characters and story points between the two movies that did make it into the final production. This page goes deeper into the similarities between the two movies, including images of the two.
Usage of African languages[edit]
Although many people believe that the movie takes its inspiration entirely from the Swahili language, all of the songs in the film are written in Zulu (while both are Bantu languages and therefore related[2][3], they are not mutually intelligible). It should be noted, though, that many of the names and phrases in The Lion King are words in Swahili, although other non-African words are used. The most popular of these examples is the phrase Hakuna Matata (lit. "there are no worries").
Characters with Swahili names include:
- Simba - lion
- Sarabi - mirage
- Pumbaa - careless; to be a fool; to be bewildered
- Rafiki - friend
- Banzai - skulk, lurk
- Shenzi - uncouth, savage, demon, barbarous
Stage production[edit]
The Lion King musical stage show is an adapation of The Lion King movie. The stage show uses a combination of masks, puppetry and models to depict the animal characters. All of the costumes are designed to allow the human actors' faces to be seen as well as their animal personas, creating a deliberate duality. The show has been enormously successful, both on Broadway and in London's West End.
The Lion King currently plays at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway and the Lyceum Theatre in the West End.
Several new songs (many in Zulu) were added for the Broadway production.
Impact on furry fandom[edit]
The film played a formative role in the development of the furry fandom's Internet presence. The Lion King Fan-Art Archive and The Lion King MUCK were both established in 1995 by Joshua C. Templin and Brian Tiemann and indirectly attracted untold numbers of Internet users to the concept of furry and anthropomorphic media. This occurred at the time when the World Wide Web was still considered to be an especially young platform for communication over the Internet, and a few other anthropomorphic media hosts were established in the same year to accommodate newer furry fans across wider distances, extending the furry presence on the Internet.
Multiple other Lion King MUCKs were established over the next 15 years, and other franchise-themed fan-operated roleplaying destinations were established soon after TLK MUCK.
TV Series[edit]
A TV series entitled The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa debuted in 1995, focusing on the adventures of the meerkat and warthog. The other characters only appear in cameos, however.

I love black cabs and even better when they are a) free and b) decked out in a pretty Meadham Kirchhoff print like the one below.
This was all part of their Christmas promotion and designer collaboration with four creatives - illustrator Gary Card, photographer Melinda Gibson, artist Margot Bowman and of course Meadham Kirchhoff - to create limited edition gift wrap in an "Unwrap Christmas" concept. A nice marketing idea I think - particularly when I heard they were also giving out free cakes from blogger RhubarbandRose :)
I took the taxi to the Charlotte Street Hotel (one of my all time favourite places in London) and then, after lunch, headed over to the King's Road and specifically to the Brandy Melville store that I had heard about via Rose/AKA The Londoner. It didn't disappoint and I stocked up on skirts, dresses and tops - and all for a good price. Definitely recommend you have a look if you haven't already.
For the occasion I dressed in my "urban" gear. That means oversized jackets, murky coloured jeans and flat boots. This is my cold weather comfort zone and I love it.
I did try and spruce it up a bit with my fur collar from Topshop (which by the way I didn't realise would be green when I ordered online but I really like in real life) and by borrowing a handbag from mother dearest. Come on....how gorgeous is this Resort 2012 Balenciaga Velo? Very jealous!
T-shirt - Zoe Karssen - majorly discounted on The Outnet. Thank you very much! Link!
Fur collar: Topshop - Link!
Jeans: Topshop - Link!
Boots: Office - Link!
Bag: Balenciaga - link provided in case you really want to treat yourself :) Link!
Sunglasses: House of Harlow - Link!
Nice Sulky Susan face at the end for you there :)
I have one more cold weather outfit of the day to post and then it's back to normal. I do miss the UK but I have to admit that arriving back in Dubai was a lovely feeling. It's a bit of a cocooned reality - life is much safer here - but with Roger eagerly wagging his tail at my arrival, I can't say I am sad to call it "home" :)
Good luck with last minute Christmas shopping everyone!

After a year where hackers were in the news almost constantly, we've released a brand new hacker calendar for 2018.
As in previous years, these calendars feature 14 of the best payphone photos that have been submitted to us in the past year. They're all 12"x12" glossy prints suitable for framing (after you've used the calendar, of course). In addition, we've filled in even more of the dates with significant moments in hacker history. Nearly every day has some momentous event that's of interest to hackers everywhere! (And if you come across a day without something historic, we invite you to do something that will put that date on next year's calendar - keep it positive.)

This is a question which many of us are confused about. I asked a lot of people about this, but could not find a satisfactory answer. Even I found this question to be a little hard for 'Google' to answer.
So, this is what I came to learn after spending some time googling. Here is it for you...
In India, Gazette is published on regular basis, it is an official Central Government Publication. Among many other things (viz. GoI notifications, rules, orders etc.), it publishes the promotions & transfers of certain government officials (who are called Gazetted Officers). This practice is followed since British times; and that publication is called by the Government of India as the "Gazzette of India".
Any catagory of persons who are listed in "Gazette of India" are Gezetted. As simple as that..!!
Governments categorise their employees from Class 1 to 4.
Class 4: Unskilled or semiskilled.
eg. Peon, attender, driver, gardener, Lans Naik, Naik etc
Class 3: Semi skilled with no decision making authority.
eg. Clerk, Head clerk, Assistant, Typist, Stenographer, Telephone operator, Havaldar, Havaldar major and NCOs, etc
Class2: Officers with some supervisory/managerial role.
eg. Section Officer, BDO, Tahsildar, Junior doctors, Assistant Executive Engineer, Lecturers in Government colleges, Headmaster of Government high schools, Junior Doctors in Government hospitals, 2nd Lieutenant to Major, etc
Class 1: Executive power vested officers,with decision making powers.
All India services, though posted to states; promotees from states to the cadre of Assistant Commissioner and above and to the cadre of All India services ; Police officers of Circle Inspector and above; Additional District Civil surgeons, Executive Engineers and above, District Medical Officer and above, Lt.Col. and above, Principals of Government colleges and above, Readers and above of Universities, etc.
Nationalised bank officials are not gazetted officers but protocol ranks exist.
Among the powers and responsibilities of a Gazetted Officer, are the certifications and authentification of photo copies etc. That's why we go to them for attesting our copies where they actually have to see an original of that and certify that the copy is the actual copy of the original as seen by them.

Lowell Sun
By Samantha Allen
LOWELL -- Aldo Beqiraj has a vision to create a virtual lost-and-found on a global scale.
Beqiraj is CEO of Bringrr, a company that provides an electronic tagging system to keep track of your belongings through your smartphone. It also has a patent on a one-of-a-kind charger that will notify you if you're driving away from your phone and have left it behind.
"You'll never have to turn around mid-trip again," is a line in the company's video, filmed at the Boott Mills in Lowell.
Beqiraj, originally from Salem, is a 23-year-old senior at UMass Lowell studying electrical engineering.
The school's startup development program, DifferenceMaker, allows him the space and resources to build his company from the ground up.
Beqiraj has assembled a team to bring the Bringrr concept to life. He just reached a fundraising goal of $75,000 on Kickstarter to develop the sensor technology further.
"We have a space to collaborate and that's really important," Beqiraj said of the school's incubator.
Steven Tello, associate vice chancellor for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development, said young entrepreneurs like Beqiraj are exactly why DifferenceMaker was created just a year and a half ago.
DifferenceMaker provides evening workshops, after-hours help and other tools so students from across the campus can come and develop fresh ideas. This spring, up to 50 startup teams are expected to compete in the second annual DifferenceMaker competition "Idea Challenge" for $25,000 worth of cash prizes. The kick-off for the April competition is Monday and Tuesday.
Beqiraj won $3,500 through the competition last year with a product voted most likely to go to market. His idea then was a website to streamline options for restaurant customers called "Grab a Bite," which he developed with fellow student Andrew Webb.
Bringrr takes up much of Beqiraj's time these days. The product was actually developed by another inventor, James Logan, in 2010. Beqiraj, who became CEO in January, said an entrepreneurial path is the only career he sees for himself.
"I've probably worked 30 hours in the past two days," he said. "But I can't really see getting up at 8 a.m. every day, working 9 to 5."
David Rocca, a 20-year-old junior from Burlington, and Joel Cioffi, 23, also from Burlington, are working to develop Bringrr's iOS, Android and Google Glass coding to bring Bringrr to life by summer. Beqiraj said they have hundreds of hours of work ahead of them, but the group hopes to release their product by July.
Bringrr tags can be placed on any object including keys, laptop, wallet, purse, briefcase or even a pet. When you lose track of an item, you can search for it on your phone. You can also direct the tag to make a noise so you can find it more easily. If your object is out of range from your phone, and another Bringrr user comes within 150 feet of your object, the tag will notify that person an object has been lost and you can connect with them to reclaim your item.
It's like making the whole world "one big lost-and-found," according to Beqiraj.
Though the tagging concept is similar to other new companies, such as Tile, Beqiraj's group has a patent on the charger that can track your smartphone, which means they're the only company out there that can develop such a product at this time. They have to select manufacturers and retailers in the next few months as well and hope to sell it for $29.
For the future, Beqiraj said the team's options are endless. They have increased their fundraising goal to $100,000 on Kickstarter, which expires Feb. 3. And after developing the technology and writing all of the code, Bringrr will seek out investors -- maybe even ones they meet through UMass Lowell's Idea Challenge.
Tello said students are judged through the Idea Challenge before a panel of local investors and UMass Lowell alumni, which helps make students' dreams of launching a startup company a reality even after graduation.
"You don't want to launch the companies too quickly. They need time to educate themselves and to be nurtured and we can do that," Tello said. "I think DifferenceMaker really represents the direction the university is heading. It's not just about education. It's about having the skills (students) need to make a difference."
For more information on Bringrr, visit bringrr.com or purchase products and pledge money to their Kickstarter campaign at kickstarter.com/projects/aldobeqiraj/bringrrtm-helping-you-keep-track-of-what-matters-m.
The Idea Challenge launch kicks off from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Monday at the Mark and Elisia Saab Emerging Technologies and Innovation Center, 40 University Ave., and 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the O'Leary Library Learning Commons, 61 Wilder St. Fore more information, visit www.uml.edu/differencemaker.

One faces the future with one's past. —Pearl Buck
No matter how familiar, the numbers still startle.
Since 1981, 1.7 million people in the United States have been infected with HIV. More than 580,000 have died. And the epidemic still rages.1
AIDS casts an ominous shadow on our history and on our future as a Nation and as a people. But with this shadow comes light—from pioneers, professionals, volunteers, activists, and people living with HIV/AIDS themselves.
These brave souls and the milestones and events that they have lived over the past quarter century have shaped the history of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program—and helped reduce disparities in access to health care for more than half a million people each year.
This Web site captures that history, and the knowledge that only history can offer. In this way we honor the past, and use it to build an ever-improving response to HIV and AIDS.
10 Things You Need to Know About
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
The program is named after Ryan White, whose courageous struggle with AIDS helped educate the Nation.
It is the largest health care program specifically addressing HIV/AIDS.
Consumer and community involvement is central to the program and is mandated by law.
Service is not an entitlement.
The quality of care is high.
A full spectrum of opportunities is available for everyone to contribute.
As the payer of last resort, the program serves people who have fallen through the public safety net and would otherwise go without care.
Strong program controls ensure that funding is directed to do the most good.
Funding is awarded to organizations, not individuals.
The program is subject to reauthorization and revision by Congress.

This past May, the College of the Environment welcomed Kristin Buckley as a new philanthropy officer to work in support of the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences (SEFS) as well as other units in the college. After 16 years in a similar role with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Buckley brings a strong background in fundraising for scientific research.
The University of Washington (UW) will be familiar territory for Buckley, who grew up on Orcas Island and graduated from the Jackson School of International Studies. Her husband is also a UW alumnus who studied at the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences and now works as a research scientist.
Buckley has another personal connection that made her especially excited to work with SEFS: She and her husband have a family-owned forest on Natapoc Mountain in eastern Washington. They initially purchased it for recreational purposes, she says, but they've since taken classes to learn more about how to manage the land for the health of the forest. As time permits, she hopes to take advantage of the many seminars and learning opportunities that abound throughout the SEFS and college community.
A little more than a month on the job, Buckley says she's still "drinking from the fire hose of new information," but that's part of what motivates her about the role. "I'm really enjoying learning about all the research happening here," she says. "I loved going to the graduations and seeing the enthusiasm of the students, and how SEFS has given them a foundation to go forward."
As she works to grow that foundation, Buckley will be working with people who wish to support programs involving SEFS faculty and students. Her experience with the language and vocabulary of research will be a big asset. "One of the great things [about this position] is the opportunity to learn about the science and to then describe it for people who want to support the work," she says.
Buckley remembers walking past Anderson Hall's beautiful landscaping as a student, and as a long-time Seattle resident she's spent many hours at the Washington Park Arboretum. Now, of course, her relationship to these facilities is a little deeper, and she can't wait to work on behalf of the school and college. "Everybody has been so warm and welcoming," she says. "I am fortunate to have joined such a smart, dynamic and dedicated group."
She'll be stationed at 3718 Brooklyn Ave. NE and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please join us in welcoming Kristin to our community!
