The Real Republican Strategy By Robert Reich blog February 17, 2011 http://robertreich.org/post/3353591266 The Republican strategy is to split the vast middle and working class -- pitting unionized workers against non- unionized, public-sector workers against non-public, older workers within sight of Medicare and Social Security against younger workers who don't believe these programs will be there for them, and the poor against the working middle class. By splitting working America along these lines, Republicans hope to deflect attention from the big story. That's the increasing share of total income and wealth going to the richest 1 percent while the jobs and wages of everyone else languish. Republicans would rather no one notice their campaign to generate further tax cuts for the rich -- making the Bush tax cuts permanent, further reducing the estate tax, and allowing the wealthy to shift ever more of their income into capital gains taxed at 15 percent. The strategy has three parts: The battle over the federal budget. The first is being played out in the budget battle in Washington. As they raise the alarm over deficit spending and simultaneously squeeze popular middle- class programs, Republicans want the majority of the American public to view it all as a giant zero-sum game among average Americans that some will have to lose. The President has already fallen into the trap by calling for budget cuts in programs the poor and working class depend on -- assistance with home heating, community services, college loans, and the like. In the coming showdown over Medicare and Social Security, House budget chair Paul Ryan will push a voucher system for Medicare and a partly-privatized plan for Social Security -- both designed to attract younger middle-class voters. The assault on public employees The second part of the Republican strategy is being played out on the state level where public employees are being blamed for state budget crises brought on by plummeting revenues. Republicans view this as an opportunity to gut public employee unions, starting with teachers. Wisconsin's Republican governor Scott Walker and his GOP legislature are seeking to end almost all union rights for teachers. Ohio's Republican governor John Kasich is pushing a similar plan in Ohio through a Republican-dominated legislature. New Jersey's Republican governor Chris Christie is attempting the same, telling a conservative conference Wednesday, "I'm attacking the leadership of the union because they're greedy, and they're selfish and they're self- interested." As I've noted, this demonizing of public employees is premised on false data. Public employees don't earn more than private-sector workers when you take account of their education. To the contrary, over the last fifteen years the pay of public-sector workers, including teachers, has dropped relative to private- sector employees with the same level of education - even if you include health and retirement benefits. Moreover, most public employees don't have generous pensions. After a career with annual pay averaging less than $45,000, the typical newly-retired public employee receives a pension of $19,000 a year. Bargaining rights for public employees haven't caused state deficits to explode. Some states that deny their employees bargaining rights, such as Nevada, North Carolina, and Arizona, are running big deficits of over 30 percent of spending. Many states that give employees bargaining rights -- Massachusetts, New Mexico, and Montana -- have small deficits of less than 10 percent. Republicans would rather go after teachers and other public employees than have us look at the pay of Wall Street traders, private-equity managers, and heads of hedge funds -- many of whom wouldn't have their jobs today were it not for the giant taxpayer-supported bailout. Last year, America's top thirteen hedge-fund managers earned an average of $1 billion each. One of them took home $5 billion. Much of their income is taxed as capital gains -- at 15 percent -- due to a tax loophole that Republican members of Congress have steadfastly guarded. If the earnings of those thirteen hedge-fund managers were taxed as ordinary income, the revenues generated would pay the salaries and benefits of over 5 million teachers. Who is more valuable to our society -- thirteen hedge-fund managers or 5 million teachers? Let's make the question even simpler. Who is more valuable: One hedge fund manager or one teacher? The Distortion of the Constitution The third part of the Republican strategy is being played out in the Supreme Court. It has politicized the Court more than at any time in recent memory. Last year a majority of the justices determined that corporations have a right under the First Amendment to provide unlimited amounts of money to political candidates. Citizens United vs. the Federal Election Commission is among the most patently political and legally grotesque decisions of our highest court -- ranking right up there with Bush vs. Gore and Dred Scott. Among those who voted in the affirmative were Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia. Both have become active strategists in the Republican party. A month ago, for example, Antonin Scalia met in a closed-door session with Michele Bachmann's Tea Party caucus -- something no justice concerned about maintaining the appearance of impartiality would ever have done. Both Thomas and Scalia have participated in political retreats organized and hosted by multi-billionaire financier Charles Koch, a major contributor to the Tea Party and other conservative organizations, and a crusader for ending all limits on money in politics. (Not incidentally, Thomas's wife is the founder of Liberty Central, a Tea Party organization that has been receiving unlimited corporate contributions due to the Citizens United decision. On his obligatory financial disclosure filings, Thomas has repeatedly failed to list her sources of income over the last twenty years, nor even to include his own four-day retreats courtesy of Charles Koch.) Some time this year or next, the Supreme Court will be asked to consider whether the nation's new healthcare law is constitutional. Watch your wallets. The strategy as a whole These three aspects of the Republican strategy -- a federal budget battle to shrink government, focused on programs the vast middle class depends on; state efforts to undermine public employees, whom the middle class depends on; and a Supreme Court dedicated to bending the Constitution to enlarge and entrench the political power of the wealthy -- fit perfectly together. They pit average working Americans against one another, distract attention from the almost unprecedented concentration of wealth and power at the top, and conceal Republican plans to further enlarge and entrench that wealth and power. What is the Democratic strategy to counter this and reclaim America for the rest of us? * Robert Reich, a professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley, was secretary of labor during the Clinton administration. He is also a blogger and the author of "Aftershock: The Next Economy and America's Future."

Right from the beginning the Void is a surreal experience. You begin by walking out of a an infinite ocean of blackness, where you're greeted by perpetual ear whisperer The Nameless Sister, who 'explains' that you are in the Void, a realm between life and death, where colour is everything. She directs you to grow and harvest colour in order to fill your hearts, which are needed to survive. No, this doesn't make any sense in context either. Describing your overall goal is even more difficult, you are constantly given contrasting directives by different characters. The Sisters, beautiful and often…

Fast-track plan to improve school buildings across Wales
But report says tackling poverty not a high enough priority
CRASH: Police were called to Llanarmon Road in Bwlchgwyn, Wrexham at 2.10pm this afternoon. A silver Mitsubishi Carisma and a blue Land Rover Discovery were involved in the collision and a female was taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital with minor injuries. Anyone with information is asked to call 101 and quote reference P201423.
More »FLOODING: Mr Davies said: "On this occasion, I will be asking for an investigation into this coastal flood event to be coordinated by Natural Resources Wales and for this report to involve all of the North Wales authorities affected. As the flooding affected a large part of the North Wales coast, I feel that on this occasion, one comprehensive report is better than 3 or 4 separate reports by the relevant local authorities."
More »FLOODING: Announcing an investigation into the flooding which hit north Wales last week, Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies said: "This was an extraordinary event and it is fortunate that lives were not lost. This was thanks to the existing defences, effective forecasting and the coordinated efforts of the emergency services and Natural Resources Wales and local authorities."

More »FLOODING: The Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Environment has called for a strong government response to recent flooding in North Wales. Russell George's comments come as the Welsh Government publishes a response to last week's floods along the North Wales coast. It includes the announcement of an investigation into the event, coordinated by Natural Resources Wales. Mr George said: "This was an exceptional event that has upturned lives. Its effects will be felt for a long time to come and it is vital that the investigation is comprehensive and wide-ranging. There is clearly work to do and Carwyn Jones and Welsh Labour must work swiftly to invest in defences and the flood warning system. Welsh communities deserve a far clearer plan to protect against flooding, to deal with worst case scenarios and to support victims of flooding."

A spokesman said: "North Wales Police are now treating the collision on the A541 Mold to Denbigh Road at Afonwen on Thursday, December 5 as a Fatal Road Traffic Collision. Emergency Services responded at 10.40am to a collision involving a blue Peugeot Estate and grey Hyundai Active motor vehicle. Sadly the driver of the Peugeot, a 31 year old local man, has passed away and following further investigations, police believe the death is linked to the collision." Sergeant Gwyndaf Jones of the Roads Policing Unit said: "Following a post mortem examination, we now believe the driver of the Peugeot died as a result of injuries sustained during the collision. A full investigation will now take place and I would like to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and may have witnessed the collision, or any incident leading up to it, to contact Police on 101". A request is made for any witnesses to this collision to contact the North Wales Police on 101 or alternatively via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 and quote RC13198684.

Explore The Abbey
Wymondham Abbey is a building with a great capacity to surprise. First you see the two massive towers of the church, the one ruined and the other unfinished, and then, as you draw nearer, you become aware of the fact that they are completely dissimilar, and set one at each end of the building. Next, if approaching the church from the town of Wymondham, you see the ruins and foundations at the east end, and you realise that what remains standing and in use today is only half of the great Abbey Church which once dominated the South Norfolk countryside. Only, in fact the Nave of the monastic church, together with its aisles and west and central towers. Hardly anything remains above ground of the once-splendid monastic Quire which lay beyond the tall arch of the, now-ruined, central tower.
The main entrance to the Abbey is through the North Porch, dating from the mid-fifteenth century. It is built entirely of dressed stone, some of this being a re-working of the Caen stone used by the twelfth-century builders. Rising behind and above the Porch is the north clerestory wall, which is richly decorated with typical East Anglian flushwork. This is a building technique in which knapped (split) flints are used to fill in panels cut in dressed stone, thereby creating a decorative effect.
Inside the Abbey the visitor first enters the North Aisle, which presents a very different appearance from that of the original twelfth-century Priory church. The original aisle was narrow and dark whereas the present aisle, as rebuilt about 1300, is exceptionally wide and lit by an impressive row of large windows.
Opposite the main doors is the Lady Statue (3), designed by Sir J Ninian Comper, and given to the Abbey in 1947. The Lady Statue originally stood in the Lady Chapel at the east end of the North Aisle but was moved to its present position in 1991 when the Triptych was installed in the Lady Chapel.
To the left is the Font (5), dating from about 1440, and moved to its present position from under the west end of the Nave in the early twentieth century. It is one of a comparatively large group of fonts in Norfolk and Suffolk, which are similar in form and presumably come from the same workshop.
They are characterised by deeply-cut carvings on the eight sides of the bowl. The font cover is modern, but very much in the East Anglian tradition of tall stately covers. It was designed by Cecil Upcher and given in memory of Canon Frederick Jarvis, Vicar of Wymondham from 1932 to 1953.
Moving down the North Aisle, the glory of the exceptional hammer-beam roof, built in the mid-fifteenth century and restored at the beginning of the twentieth century, can be seen. It is exceptional on account of its length, form and elaborate decoration.
The roof is supported by a long line of stone corbels, carved in a variety of subjects, with angels predominating at the western end and a fox and goose, a man playing bagpipes, the Lion of St Mark and several people wearing fifteenth century headgear appearing towards the eastern end. One of the windows in this Aisle contains the only coloured glass in the Abbey (10). Given in 1840 by John Cann, it is a late example of enamelled, rather than stained, glass. Further down the Aisle hangs a magnificent brass chandelier (12), given in 1712 by Elizabeth Hendry. Until the major restoration of the Abbey at the beginning of the twentieth century, it hung in the middle of the Nave. Behind the Altar, on the eastern wall of the Lady Chapel, is a Triptych of the Arts and Craft Movement (14), designed by E P Warren and incorporating plaster panels by R Anning Bell and paintings by W Dacres Adam, made in 1904 and brought to the Abbey in 1991.
By retracing their steps back down the North Aisle, the visitor is best placed to enter the Nave to appreciate the beauty of the Nave and the Altar Screen. The Nave is the core of the original Priory Church begun in 1107, but has changed in appearance over the years. The twelfth-century arcade and triforium support a later clerestory and great hammer-beam roof dating from the fifteenth century. The Nave was shortened at the eastern end in the late fourteenth century when the present central tower was built. The western end was remodelled in the fifteenth century when the old west front with two low towers was demolished and the present huge West Tower begun. In the eighteenth century box pews were introduced and a large gallery constructed at the western end for the present organ to stand on. At the beginning of the twentieth century this wooden gallery supporting the organ was removed and a stone-fronted organ gallery was constructed. At this time the box pews were removed and the Chancel and choir stalls rebuilt as they are today. From the sixteenth century the present wall behind the High Altar would have been left bare.
The magnificent golden Altar Screen, Tester and Rood (13) was planned in 1913 when the then Vicar, Canon S Martin Jones, invited Mr (later, Sir) J Ninian Comper to prepare a new design. Owing to the First World War the start of the work was delayed until 1919, with final completion in 1934. The Screen, Tester and Rood were made possible by the generosity of a number of benefactors, with the Screen itself begun as a memorial to the people of Wymondham who died in the First World War (1914 - 1918). The Tester and Rood were given in memory of Mrs Clara Willett, whose gift of over fourteen thousand pounds enabled the great restoration of the Abbey in 1901-1903.
Looking west down the Nave, the vista is closed by the main Organ (2), framed in the fine Tower arch, built in the 1440s, and standing on an elegant stone bridge bearing the date 1903. The Abbey has two Organs, both built by James Davis of Preston. The main Organ at the west end of the Nave under the West Tower given by Miss Ann Farmer in 1793. The present instrument having three manuals and a pedalboard.
The original keyboard is in a glass case on the ground floor under the West Tower. The Organ underwent major restoration in the mid 1950s and 1970s, but the major part of the original eighteenth century instrument, including the case and pipework survives in use today. A smaller Chamber Organ (11), by the same maker, dating from 1810, stands in the North Aisle and is used for services in the Lady Chapel. It was given to the Abbey by Mr Michael Buttolph, a former chorister.
The south aisle has a history of its own, too, having been enlarged post-dissolution, re-using stone and windows from the nearby chapter-house (the arch of which you can still see amongst the ruins by the East tower.
Bells have played a prominent part in the history of Wymondham Abbey, with the earliest record dating back to 1410. By the beginning of the eighteenth century the Abbey possessed five bells and these were used for change-ringing. But by the beginning of the nineteenth century the timbers of the bell-frame had become too dilapidated from ringing to continue and it seems that bells were silent throughout most of the nineteenth century. A new frame was built in 1903 and three new bells were added to the ring. Finally in 1967 the bell-frame was lowered and extended, and the eight bells were recast by the Whitechapel Foundry to form a ring of ten. The tenor bell weighs over 26 cwt.(1.3 tonnes).The spacious ringing chamber is located immediately beneath the bell chamber and is accessed by a stone spiral staircase up the inside wall of the West Tower.

School stops musical with Elvis songs; Labels it as racy
District: 'All Shook Up' didn't meet new standards

WEST JORDAN, Utah - A Utah school district has cancelled a high school play that uses Elvis Presley's music after a complaint about a sexually suggestive song.
Jordan School District officials announced plans Wednesday to scrap Herriman High School's production of "All Shook Up," saying it could be offensive.
District spokeswoman Sandy Riesgraf says a person approached the district before Christmas break and complained about the play, which is loosely based on William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night."
Riesgraf says district administrators reviewed the script over the break and determined it didn't meet new standards put in place over the summer after another high school play came under scrutiny.
The Deseret News reports students had already started rehearsing the play, which was scheduled for February. Riesgraf says a replacement play will be selected.

To take care of household solid waste was the theme discussed this afternoon in the C40. Speakers from the cities of Sao Paulo, Lima (Peru), Mexico City (Mexico), Jakarta (Indonesia) and Changsha (China) met to share experiences about capturing gas from landfills to obtain clean energy. The objective was to collaborate with cities interested in developing similar programs.
Although to make energy from waste gas is beneficial to the environment, cities that develop the action have concerned about the increase of local landfills compared to the population growth related to the number of house constructions. For Chen Xianchun, from Changsha, it is crucial that the population are helpfull, and they have to understand that only waste not recycled should be sent to the landfill. To Invest in reuse programs is an usual challenge.

the Carr Raleigh–"when a very big 3-watts is all you need"
Suppose you could own a compact, lightweight, low-powered 1x10 actually capable of delivering lush, clean headroom, naturally fat output tube distortion, plus an overdrive channel with master volume for those times when rocking the casbah may not be such a good idea…
Now you can.
The Raleigh is our first single EL- 84 amp, and being guitar players ourselves, we spent a lot of time considering what we could bring to a small, compact new design – like clean 'blackface' headroom, thick distortion at even discreet volume levels, actual bottom end from an Eminence 'Lil Buddy hemp cone ten, convenient external bias points, and your choice of covering colors and classic hardwood custom panels.
Play a Raleigh today at your Carr dealer or visit our web site at www.carramps.com for more information on the Raleigh – our new little big amp.

MUELLER: The number of plots that we have disrupted would be in the dozens, and not just disrupted here but disrupted overseas. The ability now to work and exchange information with the CIA, with NSA, with our counterparts in the intelligence services and law enforcement entities overseas has grown substantially. And that makes us all safer.
CNN: Do you think the government botched the Edward Snowden (matter), letting him slip out of the country?
MUELLER: Well, I mean I don't think there was any opportunity to -- that would -- you would look back and say look, 'we botched something like that.' No. I don't think that's accurate at all.
CNN: What about just detecting what he was doing?
MUELLER: I think you will see, without getting into the details, ourselves, the NSA and others, are putting into place measures that would perhaps stop an individual such as this, in the future, undertaking the same activity.
CNN: How much of a hero do you think he is? Has he done anything useful here?
MUELLER: I'm not going to comment on it. All I will tell you is that there are outstanding charges and our expectation is that he can and should be brought to justice.
CNN: You talk a lot about the cyber threat.
MUELLER: A cyber attack would be devastating, on the financial institutions, for instance. ... It could be hospitals, it could be infrastructure, it could be the energy infrastructure. But now we are aware of these potential targets and DHS, ourselves, the NSA, DOD, are all making preparations to prevent that from happening. But an attack will probably slip through at some point in time.
CNN: Do you think the Benghazi investigation was a failure?
MUELLER: No, absolutely not.
CNN: Getting people on the ground so late.
MUELLER: No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not a failure. ... It's a unique situation. I'm not going to tell you it's not, because it is a unique situation and very difficult for us to operate. .. When we had these African bombings of those embassies, we had an intelligence service in there that helped us. We had law enforcement agencies that helped us. We had access. In Libya, you have a government that does not control most of Libya, or a good portion of Libya. And consequently, the ambassador, the State Department, ourselves -- were pushing to get in there at the earliest possible moment. And that ended up being a couple of weeks down the road. But that does not mean that we have not very thoroughly investigated that and are continuing to investigate it. And I do believe the persons responsible will be brought to justice.
CNN: Can you predict when?
MUELLER: No.
CNN: The Boston bombing? Do you think the FBI did everything it could and do you think there's any fix in the way situations like that are handled so that you might be able to prevent something like that from happening?
MUELLER: We got notice from the Russians who looked at this particular individual and the agent who received that on the Joint Terrorism Task Force did a very thorough job in following up that. He ran all the -- all of the traces. (Went) to the college that he had attended (and) interviewed the parents and ultimately interviewed him and could not find any basis to do a further in -- investigation. So I think we did follow up on that.
CNN: Now, in the context of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, are there other things that perhaps could be done?
Yes, one or two.
CNN: Do I think it would have made any difference?
Probably not. It's all speculation. ... We are pretty good at what we do at this point. And so in the future, it may be if you have other attacks, that person may have been on our radar screen. But everybody who comes on our radar screen, we cannot investigate, indict and prosecute.
CNN: What could have been done? Could you have gone to the Russians and been more forceful in asking for more information?
MUELLER: Well, we asked on, what, two, I think three occasions. We got the information back to the Russians and we went to the Russians and said will you -- what more do you have? We couldn't get anything more out of them.
CNN: Would there have been any other things you could have followed up that you didn't?
MUELLER: At that time, the only thing that we could have been alerted to his travel back and forth to Russia. That is the only thing that was different.

Mary Morgan - Board Chair
Mary Morgan has been practicing at San Francisco Zen Center since 1999. In 2003 she received lay ordination from Teah Strozer, with whom she continues to study. Elected to the Zen Center Board in 2007 and reelected in 2010, she is a member of the Diversity Committee and is Chair of the Governance Committee. She is a committed lay practitioner, having participated in Saturday Sangha as well as the first year of Entering the Path of Practice at City Center. She received her B.A. from Smith College in 1967 and her J.D. from New York University School of Law in 1972. Mary lives in San Francisco with her partner Heather, who practices with Gil Fronsdal's sangha in Redwood City. Mary has an adult son, Benjie, who teaches 8th grade humanities in the Oakland Unified School District. She is a Superior Court Judge in San Francisco. She is happiest outside, hiking, scuba diving, traveling, and generally soaking in the beauty of the natural world.
Larry Bye
Larry works as a Senior Fellow in Public Health at NORC at the University of Chicago. He leads NORC's San Francisco office and directs health marketing/communications and policy studies. Larry serves on the board of the Kevin J. Mossier Foundation, a national philanthropy focused on the needs of the LGBT community. He has also served on the board of the (LGBT) Movement Advancement Project, a national funder's collaborative working to advance the cause of LGBT civil rights. Larry served on the Zen Center board from 2004-2010. During these years he also served as chair of the board's development committee. He rejoined the board in June of 2013.
Helen Degenhardt
I was born, raised and educated in Germany, receiving my engineering degree in architecture from the Technical University at Darmstadt. Since 1990, I have worked as an architect with Zen Center, together designing and completing approximately 10 projects, in Tassajara, Green Gulch and at Greens Restaurant. In addition to working with SFZC, my firm, JSWD Architects, has worked extensively with a number of other spiritual communities: Spirit Rock Meditation Center, Abhayagiri and the Berkeley Society of Friends. Another important focus of our firm's work is affordable and senior housing. I consider myself very fortunate in having worked with Zen Center for all these years because it has taught me, among other things, how to listen closely, work in a mindful way within a diverse community and be aware of one's own expectations. I also served on the board of the Zen Hospice Project for a number of years.
Bruce Fortin
Bruce Fortin was at the San Francisco Zen Center from 1970 to 1984 and lived at all three practice centers. He arrived a year before Suzuki Roshi's death and was ordained by Richard Baker in 1977. Bruce met and married his wife Chris during this time and their son was born at Green Gulch. In 1995, he founded the Occidental-Laguna Sangha in Sebastopol where he currently serves as the priest and guiding teacher. Bruce received Dharma Transmission from Zoketsu Norman Fischer in 2003. Bruce held a wide range of positions while at the SFZC and served on the Zen Center Board for two terms as an appointed Director. On leaving Zen Center he served as Executive Director of a large Home Health Certified Hospice, returned to graduate school and obtained an MA in counseling. He currently runs a private psychotherapy and mediation practice in Sonoma County. Bruce also has a JD degree in Law. He has served on several non-profit boards including the Sonoma Land Trust and the California State Hospice Aids Task Force.
Albert Kutchins
Albert Kutchins has been a Zen student—and a member of San Francisco Zen Center—since the mid-1980s and was shuso at Green Gulch Farm in the fall of 2012. Throughout his training, Albert has remained a householder, practicing law. He previously served on the Zen Center Board for several years in the 1990s.
Mark Lachman
Mark Lachman was elected to the Board in December 2010. He began sitting at City Center in the late 80's, participated in Establishing the Path of Practice, the Leadership Program, and serves on the Development Committee.
For over 15 years Mark has led the fundraising efforts of several nonprofit organizations. He wants to help Zen Center deepen and widen its relationship with the Sangha. He believes that by meeting each other through practice, we'll enrich our lives, strengthen the organization and grow our financial resources.
Brian McCaffrey
I completed Establishing the Path of Practice in 2009, which was an experience that not only deepened my practice, but made me want to find a way to be more deeply involved in the sangha. Consequently I enrolled in the one year Leadership Program which I just completed and which gave me the opportunity to begin to understand the structure of our organization and some of the issues that we are currently facing.
My primary non-profit experience consists of five years on the board of a progressive, local, private school, including two years as president of the board. I received my B.A. from Stanford University and a Masters in Teaching degree from Reed College. After a brief career as a high school English teacher, I enrolled in law school and received a J.D. from Hastings College of the Law. I later interrupted my legal career for a three-year sojourn in China from 1979 to 1982, where my wife, Sylvia, and I taught in a Chinese university and traveled extensively throughout the country. I now practice law, primarily in the areas of estate planning and probate litigation.
Dennis McNally
I first encountered Buddhism many years ago while researching a biography of Jack Kerouac, but only established my own practice four years ago, when I began to sit at City Center. Without any particular conscious plan, I became increasingly involved, first in Saturday Sangha, then in the evening zazen doanryo, then as a student of Jordan Thorn. I took the precepts at my jukai in the Fall of 2011. Having served as a volunteer on the Board of Trustees and with the Development Committee (which I currently chair) of the ACLU of Northern California for nearly 20 years , I offered my experience to the Zen Center and became part of this past year's Leadership Program, which has led to this invitation to serve on the Board. As my practice has deepened, it has become clear to me that service is an essential element, and one I cherish more and more. My background has been in the academic world (a Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts in History) and then - oddly - in the music business, where I went from researching a biography of the Grateful Dead (which was finally published in 2002) to becoming the band's publicist from 1985 until 2008. I remain a consultant in publicity and promotio
Charlie Pokorny
Charlie Pokorny has dedicated his talents to studying and teaching dharma, and his life as a Zen priest expresses his devotion to the well-being of others. During his time as a resident of San Francisco Zen Center, he has supported the organization by taking on numerous positions of responsibility. He holds a master's degree from Stanford University in Religious Studies, and he brings a breadth of perspective on the direction that Soto Zen is taking in the world today through his position as director of the Soto Zen Buddhist Association.
Gretchen Rau
I began my practice in 2006 and participated in Establishing the Path of Practice the following year. I have since become a resident practitioner at City Center and was involved in the City Center Visioning Task Force. I look forward to building on the work of those who came before me in expressing our core mission through the offerings at our practice centers. I would like to see increasing connection and understanding between individuals and groups who seek the dharma at our temples. I currently work in the executive office of a global environmental nonprofit organization, and I hope that my knowledge and organizational skills will be an asset to the Board in advancing our collective vision.
Mark Schieble
I have practiced law for 30 years; for the past 10 years, specializing in tax matters, at Foley & Lardner LLP. Most of my tax work is in the area of exempt organizations, primarily health care providers, and partnerships. I serve on the Finance Committees of the Boards of
Blood Centers of the Pacific
and Blood Systems, Inc.
I have assisted Greg McClune (former SF Zen Center Board member) on governance and tax issues that have come up relative to SF Zen Center over the past several years.

The Herzing University Online MBA degree programs were designed with the busy adult in mind. The school year has three semesters, and each semester is comprised of two 7 ½-week terms. Students have new classes every eight weeks, separated by either a long weekend or the winter or summer break.
Typically, graduate students can choose to take approximately one class at a time and complete their program in 2 years, or take approximately two courses at a time and finish in 1 year. In addition, students may adjust their schedules as other responsibilities permit, taking a lighter course load some terms and a heavier load in others.
Online students should expect to spend a minimum of six (6) hours per week (over a 7½-week period) in their studies for each semester credit hour enrolled. This would include reading, researching, and writing papers, doing projects, completing exercises, studying, and reflecting on the course material as well as the time spent on the computer participating in discussion threads, reviewing online course materials, taking tests, and uploading/ downloading materials. The time devoted to classes scheduled for other than 7½-week periods would adjust proportionately.
Students will be required to participate in some group projects, but most assignments are completed on an individual basis. Homework assignments are posted at the beginning of the week and must be completed and submitted by the due date. Typical assignments include a discussion question or two based on the lecture and reading due by mid-week (with replies and comments on classmates' posts by the end of the week), and a written assignment or test due at the end of the week.
Depending on the course, students may be required to write essays, complete term projects, and/or take exams. Instructional materials differ for each course but often include electronic textbooks, website links, voice-over PowerPoint lectures, journal articles, case studies, and interviews.
Instructors are available by internal message and telephone. Faculty can be reached for immediate answers during their posted office hours and will respond within 36 hours to any questions received outside of those hours.
Because class sizes are kept small, your instructor is also your tutor. Students and instructors can interact in a chat-like manner that allows for real-time discussion and example exercises. If the instructor's posted office hours conflict with a student's schedule, special appointments can be made.

Youth ages 10 though 15 are invited to take part in the annual statewide gun deer hunt October 8 and 9. Under Wisconsin's Mentored Hunting Law, hunters as young as 10 years of age may participate with or without hunter education certification.
Changes to this year's youth gun deer hunt include the fact that junior antlerless gun deer carcass tag will now be valid statewide for youth hunters, allowing them to use it in 'buck only' units. A separate, unit specific, antlerless tag will not be required in these units.
The hunt will be held in all deer management units statewide, except state park units, Ft. McCoy, Chambers Island, Menominee County and the Apostle Islands other than Madeline Island.
Qualified youth hunters may harvest one buck deer using their gun buck deer carcass tag and additional antlerless deer with the appropriate carcass tag valid in the unit in which they are hunting.
According to the DNR website, one adult may not accompany more than two youth hunters. If one youth is under the "mentored hunter" rules, the adult may "accompany" no more than one other youth at the same time and only if the second youth is at least 12-15 years of age and has completed hunter education

Our Scripture challenge for the year is stated above. Jesus said, "I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it." (Revelation 3:8) We want to rediscover the faith that sees God's "open doors" which lead to His best blessing and the fulfillment of His great purpose, and then walk through them in obedience. May you also be renewed in your faith as you worship with us so that you too may realize your destiny through God's open doors.
If you're looking for a church home we would love to say, "Welcome home." Wherever you are in your search for truth and your pursuit of God, we want you also to know that we are here for you.

Review Intel has been busy sending out a batch of 'Penryn' Core 2 Extreme QX9770 processors to every tech site in the known universe, and if you take a look at some of the reviews that have popped up you'll spot a common theme. The QX9770 is the first desktop processor to run on a 1600MHz frontside bus (FSB) but right now there are no desktop chipsets that support this new speed.
On the server side, Intel has 1600MHz covered with its 5400 series of Xeon chips and chipsets, but we're in new territory on the desktop as the X38 chipset's FSB tops out at 1333MHz.
Intel's Core 2 Extreme QX9770: Penryn-plus?
Early in 2008, Intel will launch a brand new chipset called the X48 which appears to be exactly the same as X38 but with the addition of the 1600MHz FSB - which makes us rather wonder why Intel didn't simply name the new spin as X38 2.0. For the time being, most reviewers have been in a predicament as the only motherboards that support the QX9770 use either the X38 or the P35 chipset and have a Bios that has been modified by the motherboard manufacturer to accommodate the faster FSB.
Happily, Register Hardware has a trick up its sleeve: we have got our mitts on an Asus P5E3 Premium motherboard which uses X48 chipset. So we're in a position to put the QX9770 through its paces using an Asus P5K3 Deluxe with a P35 chipset, a Gigabyte GA-X38T-DQ6 with an X38, and the P5E3 with the X48.
The QX9770 has a clock speed of 3.20GHz (8 x 400MHz) compared to the 3.00GHz QX9650 (9 x 333MHz) we reviewed last month. The TDP has increased from 130W to 136W, but other than that the two chips have identical specifications with four cores and support for the new SSE 4 instruction set. They're both made using a 45nm fabrication process.
Asus' P5E3 Premium: packing the X48 chipset
Starting with the Gigabyte motherboard, because it arrived first, we installed beta Bios F4a and ran the QX9650 to give us a baseline for comparison. PCMark05 is a good all-round benchmark for system performance, while DivX 6.7 uses SSE 4 to fully stress the latest processors. Finally, encoding AAC music files with iTunes gives a decent all-round idea of how much horsepower you've got in your PC.
Source: REGHARDWARE UK
The QX9650 performed admirably at the stock 3.00GHz, but we were unable to overclock it on the Gigabyte as the beta Bios was a bit rudimentary.
PCMark05 Test - X38 Chipset Longer bars are better
Switching to the QX9770 boosted performance by a small margin thanks to the extra 200MHz but it wasn't at all clear that the move to the 1600MHz FSB yielded any extra performance in its own right.
iTunes AAC Conversion Test - X38 Chipset Time in seconds to convert 150MB of MP3 files to AAC Shorter bars are better
Time to overclock the QX9770, and as we had an Extreme Edition processor with unlocked multiplier we took the easy option and raised the multiplier to 9x and the clock speed to 3.6GHz. The performance increase was linear so we had another go and bumped the multiplier to 10x to give a 4GHz clock speed. This made the system slightly unstable so we had to increase the Northbridge and CPU voltages slightly to sort things out and now the QX9770 positively flew along.
DivX 6.7 Recode Test - X38 Chipset Time in seconds to recode a 350MB AVI file Shorter bars are better
The power draw at the socket increased by an enormous 115W under extreme load at the 4GHz speed, but despite that we had no trouble keeping the CPU cool with a Zalman heatsink, although we did have to increase the speed of the fan controller by a moderate amount.
Next up was the Asus P5K3 Deluxe with P35 chipset and DDR 3 memory support. Clock-for-clock the P35 yielded lower memory and graphics performance in PCMark05 than the X38 which was something of a surprise as the AMD ATI Radeon HD 3870 surely wasn't restricted by the PCI Express (PCIe) bus. The X38 board has PCIe 2.0 while P35 is stuck with the original PCIe bus but both offer plenty of bandwidth and the P35 DDR 3 memory controller is surely very similar to the one on the X38.
PCMark05 Test - P35 Chipset Longer bars are better
CPU performance at 3.20GHz in PCMark05 was identical on the P35, which was gratifying, and the time taken for DivX encoding was effectively identical but in iTunes the X38 had a significant edge.
iTunes AAC Conversion Test - P35 Chipset Time in seconds to convert 150MB of MP3 files to AAC Shorter bars are better
We had more options for overclocking with the Asus P35 Bios as we had clock multipliers that went up in 0.5x steps so we were able to run the multiplier at 10.5x for a clock speed of 4.20GHz. At this speed the DivX test wouldn't run and we had a similar situation when we raised the FSB to 1800MHz with a multiplier of 9x to get a clock speed of 4.05GHz. CPU performance was great in both cases but system performance was uninspiring compared to the Gigabyte X38.
DivX 6.7 Recode Test - P35 Chipset Time in seconds to recode a 350MB AVI file Shorter bars are better
And so we come to the Asus X48 motherboard which is the natural partner for the QX9770. We ran the processor at 3.20GHz with PC3-1333 memory at 1066MHz, just as we had with the other two systems and achieved results that were very similar - but slightly slower- than the X38. At 4.00GHz the X48 once again mirrored the X38 and despite our best efforts with monstrous voltages through the Northbridge and memory the QX9770 had no intention of running any faster.
PCMark05 Test - X48 Chipset Longer bars are better
The Asus X48 is the type of motherboard that will delight overclockers as it caps the CPU voltage at 1.70V but if you install a jumper you can raise the voltage to 2.1V. We plan on using this CPU in the future so we kept the voltage to a lowly 1.475V but if you spend £699 on a QX9770 and fancy trying more than two volts do please let us know how you get on.
iTunes AAC Conversion Test - X48 Chipset Time in seconds to convert 150MB of MP3 files to AAC Shorter bars are better
As a final test we swapped out the OCZ PC3-1333 memory for some OCZ PC3-1600 and ran it at full speed to make sure that the 4.00GHz CPU wasn't being starved of memory bandwidth however performance increased by only the smallest of margins.
DivX 6.7 Recode Test - X48 Chipset Time in seconds to recode a 350MB AVI file Shorter bars are better
Intel's X48 chipset appears to be little more than a carefully selected X38, and our enthusiasm for the new chipset was washed away in a torrent of disappointment. But the Core 2 Extreme QX9770 is a completely different story. It's unbelievably fast and it overclocks to 4.0GHz with the bare minimum of cooling. Intel looks to be in for a good 2008, and no doubt that's why it decided to send us a the QX9770 just before Christmas, just so it could spread the cheer around.
Awesome !!!!!
Cant wait to try it out!
Thanks fro the update Soumya

My 7-year-old son started second grade this year. Every morning he declares that he hates school, and he's not going to go. It's a struggle for us to get out the door. What can we do? - Dave
Kids have many reasons for not wanting to go to school — separation from home and parents, bullies, assignments and grades, or a teacher.
Talk with your child — and then perhaps with his teacher — to find out more about what's causing his anxiety and about his behavior at school. A school counselor or psychologist also might be able to help.
