Pope Ordains Four Archbishops on the Feast of the Epiphany. Calls All Bishops to Courageous Faith in an Age of Agonosticism

At the Sacred Liturgy, the Holy Father ordained four Archbishops for the Church.

VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - On January 6, 2013, the universal Church celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany or Manifestation. The Feast commemorates the journey of the three Wise men (Magi) to visit the infant Jesus, having followed a star. It is also the proclamation of the universality of the message of the gospel in that they represent the "gentiles". Thus, the fulfillment of all of the promises of the Old Testament prophets has been fulfilled in the birth of the Savior of all the nations. We offer to our readers the entire homily given by the Holy Father in St Peter's Basillica below.
At the Sacred Liturgy, the Holy Father ordained four Archbishops for the Church. As the Chief teacher of the universal Church he used his homily as an occasion to give a profound exposition on the call of all Bishops to be men of profound faith, wisdom, courage and holiness in the midst of an age which is marked by what he called a regnant (ruling) agonosticism. In a beautiful juxtaposition of the Gospel text, he pointed to the character of the Wise men from the East and then expounded upon the character and task of a Bishop in this urgent hour of the Church.
Given the profundity of this message we urge our readers around the golbe to prayerfully read it in its entirety. We also ask that you pray for all Bishops, and most especially the Bishop of Rome and successor of the Apostle Peter, Benedict XVI.
Homily of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI
Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord
6 January 2013
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
For the Church which believes and prays, the Wise Men from the East who, guided by the star, made their way to the manger of Bethlehem, are only the beginning of a great procession which winds throughout history. Thus the liturgy reads the Gospel which relates the journey of the Wise Men, together with the magnificent prophetic visions of the sixtieth chapter of the Book of Isaiah and Psalm 71, which depict in bold imagery the pilgrimage of the peoples to Jerusalem.
Like the shepherds, who as the first visitors to the newborn Child in the manger, embodied the poor of Israel and more generally those humble souls who live in deep interior closeness to Jesus, so the men from the East embody the world of the peoples, the Church of the Gentiles - the men and women who in every age set out on the way which leads to the Child of Bethlehem, to offer him homage as the Son of God and to bow down before him.
The Church calls this feast "Epiphany" - the appearance of the Godhead. If we consider the fact that from the very beginning men and women of every place, of every continent, of all the different cultures, mentalities and lifestyles, have been on the way to Christ, then we can truly say that this pilgrimage and this encounter with God in the form of a Child is an epiphany of God's goodness and loving kindness for humanity (cf. Tit 3:4).
Following a tradition begun by Pope John Paul II, we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany of the Lord also as the day when episcopal ordination will be conferred on four priests who will now cooperate in different ways in the ministry of the Pope for the unity of the one Church of Jesus Christ in the multiplicity of the Particular Churches. The connection between this episcopal ordination and the theme of the pilgrimage of the peoples to Jesus Christ is evident.
It is the task of the Bishop in this pilgrimage not merely to walk beside the others, but to go before them, showing the way. But in this liturgy I would like to reflect with you on a more concrete question. Based on the account of Matthew, we can gain a certain idea of what sort of men these were, who followed the sign of the star and set off to find that King who would establish not only for Israel but for all mankind a new kind of kingship. What kind of men were they? And we can also ask whether, despite the difference of times and tasks, we can glimpse in them something of what a Bishop is and how he is to carry out his task.
These men who set out towards the unknown were, in any event, men with a restless heart. Men driven by a restless quest for God and the salvation of the world. They were filled with expectation, not satisfied with their secure income and their respectable place in society. They were looking for something greater. They were no doubt learned men, quite knowledgeable about the heavens and probably possessed of a fine philosophical formation. But they desired more than simply knowledge about things.
They wanted above all else to know what is essential. They wanted to know how we succeed in being human. And therefore they wanted to know if God exists, and where and how he exists. Whether he is concerned about us and how we can encounter him. Nor did they want just to know. They wanted to understand the truth about ourselves and about God and the world. Their outward pilgrimage was an expression of their inward journey, the inner pilgrimage of their hearts. They were men who sought God and were ultimately on the way towards him. They were seekers after God.
Here we come to the question: What sort of man must he be, upon whom hands are laid in episcopal ordination in the Church of Jesus Christ? We can say that he must above all be a man concerned for God, for only then will he also be truly concerned about men. Inversely, we could also say that a Bishop must be a man concerned for others, one who is concerned about what happens to them.
He must be a man for others. But he can only truly be so if he is a man seized by God, if concern for God has also become for him concern for God's creature who is man. Like the Wise Men from the East, a Bishop must not be someone who merely does his job and is content with that. No, he must be gripped by God's concern for men and women. He must in some way think and feel with God.
Human beings have an innate restlessness for God, but this restlessness is a participation in God's own restlessness for us. Since God is concerned about us, he follows us even to the crib, even to the Cross. "Thou with weary steps hast sought me, crucified hast dearly bought me, may thy pains not be in vain", the Church prays in the Dies Irae. The restlessness of men for God and hence the restlessness of God for men must unsettle the Bishop.
This is what we mean when we say that, above all else, the Bishop must be a man of faith. For faith is nothing less than being interiorly seized by God, something which guides us along the pathways of life. Faith draws us into a state of being seized by the restlessness of God and it makes us pilgrims who are on an inner journey towards the true King of the world and his promise of justice, truth and love. On this pilgrimage the Bishop must go ahead, he must be the guide pointing out to men and women the way to faith, hope and love.
Faith's inner pilgrimage towards God occurs above all in prayer. Saint Augustine once said that prayer is ultimately nothing more than the realization and radicalization of our yearning for God. Instead of "yearning", we could also translate the word as "restlessness" and say that prayer would detach us from our false security, from our being enclosed within material and visible realities, and would give us a restlessness for God and thus an openness to and concern for one another.
The Bishop, as a pilgrim of God, must be above all a man of prayer. He must live be in constant inner contact with God; his soul must be open wide to God. He must bring before God his own needs and the needs of others, as well as his joys and the joys of others, and thus in his own way establish contact between God and the world in communion with Christ, so that Christ's light can shine in the world.
Let us return to the Wise Men from the East. These were also, and above all, men of courage, the courage and humility born of faith. Courage was needed to grasp the meaning of the star as a sign to set out, to go forth - towards the unknown, the uncertain, on paths filled with hidden dangers. We can imagine that their decision was met with derision: the scorn of those realists who could only mock the reveries of such men. Anyone who took off on the basis of such uncertain promises, risking everything, could only appear ridiculous. But for these men, inwardly seized by God, the way which he pointed out was more important than what other people thought. For them, seeking the truth meant more than the taunts of the world, so apparently clever.
How can we not think, in this context, of the task of a Bishop in our own time? The humility of faith, of sharing the faith of the Church of every age, will constantly be in conflict with the prevailing wisdom of those who cling to what seems certain. Anyone who lives and proclaims the faith of the Church is on many points out of step with the prevalent way of thinking, even in our own day. Today's regnant agnosticism has its own dogmas and is extremely intolerant regarding anything that would question it and the criteria it employs.
Therefore the courage to contradict the prevailing mindset is particularly urgent for a Bishop today. He must be courageous. And this courage or forcefulness does not consist in striking out or in acting aggressively, but rather in allowing oneself to be struck and to be steadfast before the principles of the prevalent way of thinking. The courage to stand firm in the truth is unavoidably demanded of those whom the Lord sends like sheep among wolves. "Those who fear the Lord will not be timid", says the Book of Sirach (34:16). The fear of God frees us from the fear of men. It liberates.
Here I am reminded of an episode at the very beginning of Christianity which Saint Luke recounts in the Acts of the Apostles. After the speech of Gamaliel, who advised against violence in dealing with the earliest community of believers in Jesus, the Sanhedrin summoned the Apostles and had them flogged. It then forbade them from preaching in the name of Jesus and set them free. Saint Luke continues: "As they left the council, they rejoiced that they were considered worthy to suffer dishonour for the name of Jesus. And every day. they did not cease to teach and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah" (Acts 5:40ff.).
The successors of the Apostles must also expect to be repeatedly beaten, by contemporary methods, if they continue to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that can be heard and understood. Then they can rejoice that they have been considered worthy of suffering for him. Like the Apostles, we naturally want to convince people and in this sense to obtain their approval. Naturally, we are not provocative; on the contrary we invite all to enter into the joy of that truth which shows us the way. The approval of the prevailing wisdom, however, is not the criterion to which we submit. Our criterion is the Lord himself. If we defend his cause, we will constantly gain others to the way of the Gospel. But, inevitably, we will also be beaten by those who live lives opposed to the Gospel, and then we can be grateful for having been judged worthy to share in the passion of Christ.
The Wise Men followed the star, and thus came to Jesus, to the great Light which enlightens everyone coming into this world (cf. Jn 1:9). As pilgrims of faith, the Wise Men themselves became stars shining in the firmament of history and they show us the way. The saints are God's true constellations, which light up the nights of this world, serving as our guides. Saint Paul, in his Letter to the Philippians, told his faithful that they must shine like stars in the world (cf. 2:15).
Dear friends, this holds true for us too. It holds true above all for you who are now to be ordained Bishops of the Church of Jesus Christ. If you live with Christ, bound to him anew in this sacrament, then you too will become wise men. Then you will become stars which go before men and women, pointing out to them the right path in life.
All of us here are now praying for you, that the Lord may fill you with the light of faith and love. That that restlessness of God for man may seize you, so that all may experience his closeness and receive the gift of his joy. We are praying for you, that the Lord may always grant you the courage and humility of faith. We ask Mary, who showed to the Wise Men the new King of the world (cf. Mt 2:11), as a loving mother, to show Jesus Christ also to you and to help you to be guides along the way which leads to him. Amen.

What a beautiful homily! There is nothing said by this pope that does not fail to inspire me.

I read an article on Yahoo news about the same speech. The comments on the article were quite loaded and largely ignorant. You have Catholics that have less than an 8th grade understanding of our own faith!! The media then feeds them the garbage and they think that is all there is out of ignorance.
I think what we need is the Bishops on a bus tour much like the rebellious nuns on a bus lead by Sr. Simone Campbell. As a Catholic I cannot fathom why she hasn't been subject to the equivalent of defrocking already. If she can't be or won't be "defrocked" then I think the Bishops need to take to the road and set a different example. Public relations matter more these days than ever thanks to social media.

(1891-1980) Grand Admiral and Commander in Chief of the German Navy after January 1943. Doenitz served in U-boats during World War I and remained in the German Navy, although the Versailles Treaty had stripped Germany of all its submarines. When Germany began to rearm, Doenitz was chosen to organize the new submarine service, and became Chief of U-boat Forces. When war broke out, in 1939, he was promoted to Rear Admiral, but had far fewer submarines than were required by the war plans (which did not anticipate a war before 1942). In spite of this, Doenitz' U-boats were highly successful, scoring one coup after another, while the warships of the German surface navy, like the Bismark or Graf Spee, seemed to make headlines only by being hunted down and sunk! Hitler was highly impressed with Doenitz' character and ability, and in his last political testament, named Doenitz to succeed him as Fuehrer, though he held the position for only eight days. After the surrender, Doenitz was tried for war crimes at Nuremburg, but was able to convince the tribunal that he had been kept ignorant of the murder of millions in the death camps of "the final solution." He was sentenced to ten years imprisonment for "Planning Agressive War."
(Note: Doenitz said there had been an organized program of deception designed to convince anyone who could not simply be silenced that the concentration camps were just big prisons and any rumors one heard about mass murder were only "Allied lies." Doenitz' claimed to have been taken in by this operation.)

Article 234 EC ensures that a divergent application of the EC Treaty or of the statutes and acts of its institutions is not allowed in any Member State. Unsurprisingly, its pivotal importance has given rise to a huge number of ECJ judgments and orders – about 700 by the beginning of 2009. Very often, a practitioner needs to establish whether the preliminary ruling procedure called for by Article 234 EC is required in a particular case being pursued in a national court, and any relevant ECJ ruling or order must be located. Herein lies the great value of this book.
Dr Barents' very useful volume sorts paragraphs of the 700 judgments and orders by subject, making it easy to establish the relevance of a particular Community court ruling to a particular national court proceeding. In this book paragraphs of the judgments and orders are presented in the form of extracts sorted by subject. The subject headings are arranged according to a hierarchical system, descending from such overarching concepts as scope and participation to such precise categories as the following :
Paragraphs of judgments relating to more than one subject are included under each relevant heading, where necessary accompanied by cross references to other headings. Under each extract or summary, the judgments and orders are referred to by case number in ascending order. The articles of the EC Treaty are cited according to the new method of citation pursuant to the renumbering of the articles of that treaty brought about by the Treaty of Amsterdam.
There is no doubt that the book's technique of presenting case law in the form of separate extracts and summaries arranged by topic and sub-topic improves the accessibility of the material. This very practical, time-saving feature will be greatly appreciated by practitioners throughout Europe. This is a reference every European lawyer will want to have on hand.

WOLFEBORO, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has settled the debate over what to call President Barack Obama's health care mandate.
In an interview Wednesday with CBS News, Romney says it's a tax.
That contradicts a statement days ago by a top adviser, who said Romney viewed the mandate as a penalty or a fee or a fine — but not as a tax.
Opponents of the health care law, including congressional Republicans, have seized on the Supreme Court's use of the word "tax" to describe the mandate.
Romney said that while he thinks the mandate is unconstitutional, a majority of the court concluded it's a tax.
Said Romney: "They have spoken. There's no way around that."
Romney was interviewed in Wolfeboro, N.H., where he marched in the Fourth of July parade.

We've seen it before -- more than 20 dead and hundreds injured as a result of Palestinian Arab terror attacks in Israel within a week of each other. The death of five Americans at Hebrew University on Jerusalem's Mount Scopus brought the pain home to America once again. President Bush remarked, "We are responding to a murder of Americans. We're responding all across the globe to murders of Americans....The war on terror is fought on many fronts. And I just -- I cannot speak strongly enough about how we must collectively get after those who kill...."
And following a wreath-laying on the Hebrew University campus, Daniel C. Kurtzer, U.S. ambassador to Israel, said, "We are very committed in the war against terrorism and, in addition to the support that we give to the State of Israel as a partner in this war against terrorism, we will do all that we can to fight against terrorists wherever they are."

RAD Feature Comparison
Migrate: RAD to Blue
- Under 1gb footprint
- Only $159/year
- Support included
- WAS 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x
- Open source friendly
- RAD project compatibility
- Enterprise Maven
- Migrate to any server
Educational Materials
clear alternative to IBM's Rational tooling.
Finally, an Alternative
MyEclipse 2014 Blue Edition is the only tool in the market (outside of IBM) that truly understands RAD project structures and their complexities. The concern many IBM shops have is the loss of their old projects due to a tool change. With MyEclipse Blue, this concern is eliminated with simple one-click migration from RAD to MyEclipse Blue. Enterprises choose MyEclipse Blue Edition to seamlessly work with existing WebSphere and Liberty Profile investments, but at a smart price point for long term investment.
MyEclipse 2014 Blue introduces powerful mobile features as well with HTML5, PhoneGap APIs, cloud testing, and jQuery templates that allow MyEclipse Blue users to turn their legacy web applications mobile while creating new apps too. Also featured in the MyEclipse 2014 Blue Edition are reverse engineering with REST, Java EE 7, and IBM Liberty Profile.
"MyEclipse Blue proves that
there is life after RAD." - Blue customer
Migrate Between Servers
If you're faced with a WebSphere end-of-life scenario, MyEclipse Blue can help by working with all versions of WebSphere in one tool. Migrate projects with ease without worrying about new RAD version at the same time as an app server migration.
PRO TIP: Migrate away from IBM servers if desired. Many customers are using Blue to move off of WebSphere and onto more lightweight, open technologies!
Imagine running your RAD projects from 2009 on a Tomcat server in 2014. With Blue Edition, the choice is at your fingertips, with over 50 server connectors built right in.
RAD Doesn't Have This
MyEclipse Blue Edition has many features RAD doesn't provide, that can be seen in detail here. But as a broad sweep:
- Full Spring support
- Full Hibernate support
- Enterprise Maven support
- Hot-sync for WebSphere
- Swing GUI Design (Matisse for MyEclipse)
- Advanced Persistence tools
- ICEfaces Ajax support
- Visual SQL Query Builder
- 35+ app servers
- Facelets designer
- Instant-on Ajax debugging
Moving is Easy
You can migrate your old projects to Blue Edition in just a few clicks - without losing project metadata. Even have developers working on the same project in both Rad and Blue Edition, if desired. This tiered adoption model allows you to migrate at your own pace without making momentus changes before you're ready.
"If I had to use RAD again...
Well, I just wouldn't. I'd use Blue." - Blue customer
No-Brainer Value
At just $159 per year per developer, moving away from RAD is an easy decision from a financial standpoint.
Support Included
Unlike many products from IBM, we don't charge you extra for support. Our online, staffed support has been touted by customers as the best in the industry - even surpassing the big boy's services. And it's included in the low price.
30-day Trial
Take Blue for a test drive. You get 30-days of full functionality for free. If you need even more time to do a full evaluation, please contact our sales team.

Customer Reviews for Patio / Sliding Doors Blue Living Room New Additions
"Easy Simple and well worth it!"
By Happy kitchen from Texas
I recently remodeled my kitchen and wanted a new look for my kitchen windows. I wanted something with a simple design but that looked expensive and custom made. Well that's just what I got! The arched Cornice boards are beautiful, very well constructed and look way more expensive than they actually were! To be sure, I ordered the swatch pak before hand so I would be sure of the color of the fabric. Then I watched the video on how to measure everything and then I placed the order online. The cornice boards arrived much earlier than expected and I was actually able to ask my contractor to hang them for me. He had all 3 cornice boards up in about 30 minutes! They look great and it was just the finishing touch my new kitchen needed. I would totally order from Blindsgalore again with out any hesitation!

Easy install, drape beautiful, a little tricket to attach the verticals so have another person help you...else have beer or wine on hand to ease the frustration. Instead of installing the header, I made my own window cornice. That was easy too...installed with 2 L brackets.

911 Update
See this page in ASL in the video above!
Basic 911 Information
Emergencies do not happen very often, but when they do, you want to be ready. The best way to handle any emergency is to be prepared for one before it happens. Know what to do ahead of time and try to stay in control. For Deaf, deafened or hard or hearing individuals, calling 911 has some significant barriers. Understanding what to do and what the barriers are fundamental to getting the help you need when you need it.
In 1968 9-1-1 was established as the national emergency number for the United States which allows a caller anywhere in the US to access police, fire and ambulance services. This same service was established in Canada in 1972.
However, the current 911 system in both Canada and the US was originally designed for voice-to-voice communication, which makes calling 911 with a TTY, voice carry over (VCO) phone, or amplified phones difficult at best. There have been many upgrades and attempts to create an equitable 911system, but there are significant technological challenges that prevent successful interfacing with any form of texting.
Until the next generation of 911 (NG-911) system is fully developed and available in Canada, it is important to understand the limitations of the current 911 system and to be aware of what you need to do when making a 911 call.
Safety Tips
Although most 911 calls are now traced, it is still important for you to be able to confirm your address and provide as much information as possible to the 911 operator. People are often frightened in an emergency, but it is important to stay calm, and give as much detail to the operator as possible. In some cases, the emergency dispatcher may be able to provide some first aid instructions before the secondary services arrive on site.
As with fire safety escape plans, you should have practice times and discussions with your family on how to access 911 in an emergency. If you do not regularly use your TTY for out going calls, you should practice the basic steps at least once a month and become familiar with some short forms. This is especially crucial for children with a hearing loss who may need to use 911.
If you use a VCO phone or an amplified phone know your choices of how best to reach 911. If you are unsure contact your local CHS office for more information.
Some communities offer a registration or flagging process. Find out from your local 911 service provider if you can register your address into their system. This can assist the 911 operator when you call. It will let the 911 operator know someone at the address has a hearing loss and may need help even if they cannot communicate their needs.
Essential Tips
- Understand what you need to do ahead of time
- Know your system and know your options
- Practice the basics every month to become comfortable
- Place 911 instructions by your TTY or VCO phone
- When you have a real life situation to deal with you might forget or panic; instructions nearby will help you
- Keep your devices plugged in or fully charged so it will work in an emergency. If your telephone device is electrically powered keep fresh batteries near your device at all times.
- Make sure your house number is easily visible from the street so that police, fire and ambulance can find your home easily
- Find out if you can register your address into the 911 system in your municipality to alert them to the fact that you are Deaf, deafened or hard of hearing.
- Contacting 911 via BRS (Bell Rely Service) does not provide the 911 operator your location and your number. In a life-threatening situation calling BRS for your emergency will add some significant delays on getting you the help you need.
Definitions & Process
Registration/Flagging Process:
Some communities offer a registration or flagging process. This can assist the 911 operator when you call. It will let the 911 operator know someone at the address has a hearing loss and may need help even if they cannot communicate their needs. Find out from your local 911 service provider if you can register your address into their system. If you want a registration process in your community contact your local CHS office for more information.
Dead or Silent Lines/Hang Ups/Pocket Dials:
Dead or silent lines are those calls that come into the 911 dispatch center and no voice communication or TTY tones are heard. Depending on the municipality, these calls may be given a lower priority. Many variables are considered by each dispatcher when dealing with dead or silent calls. There could be:
- Delays involved in dispatching the needed secondary services (Fire, EMS and Police) due to other known events in the community
- Delays in dispatching the appropriate services (e.g. Police instead of Ambulance)
Dialling 911 and leaving your line open where there is NO communication (no voice, or TTY tones heard and no typed message) may not guarantee you priority dispatching in a timely manner. Each municipality will have its own processes for dead or silent lines. The 911 operator needs to receive some information from you to know what type of service to send - Police, Ambulance or Fire. In the event that the operator receives a dead or silent call, they will dispatch police services ONLY and only if the call has been placed on a landline. If a dead or silent call has been placed on a cell phone, the operator will not have location information readily available to dispatch any services to you.
When you are using a TTY, ensure that at a minimum you hit the space bar a few times to activate the TTY tones. The operator will at least know that there is someone on the line that requires emergency assistance. Do your best to remain calm and type some message to the operator even the word "HELP" or "EMS please" would at least alert the operator to the fact that there is someone on the line needing assistance.
Landlines are telephone lines that connect into your wall jack. Most people have newer telephones that also require electrical power. If the power goes out your telephone may not work. Some landline telephones may have battery back up and will continue to work for a short period without electricity. Consumers need to check to see what type of telephone line they have and if their telephone will continue to work in the event of an emergency.
Voice-Over Internet Protocol
VOIP are telephone lines that work over the internet and involves a computer. Computers need electricity and if you do not have power, you will not have access to 911.
Battery-Operated Telephone Equipment
Many new telephones, amplified phones and cordless phones require electrical power and are battery operated. If your power goes out and your battery runs out then you will not have telephone access and no access to 911. Amplified telephones may still work with landline connections but the amplification feature will not work. There are some portable volume enhancers that are battery operated; you should keep these nearby and have extra batteries available in case of an emergency.
When should I call 911?
A 911 emergency is a situation in which someone needs immediate help because he or she is injured, sick or in immediate danger. Here are some examples of when you should call 911:
- There is a fire
- Someone is unconscious after an accident, drinking too much or an overdose of pills or drugs etc.
- Someone is having trouble breathing because of something like an asthma attack or a seizure etc.
- Someone is choking or having a heart attack
- You see a crime being committed, like a break-in or a mugging
- Someone is threatening you and you need help immediately
- You feel you need immediate medical help
In some cities, officials estimate that as many as 75% of the calls made to 911 are non-emergency calls. These are not all pranks. Some people accidentally push the emergency button on their cell phones. Others do not realize that 911 is for true emergencies only and are not for such things as a flat tire or about a theft that occurred the week before. These incidents need to be reported to your local police station but not via 911.
Whenever an unnecessary call is made to 911, it can delay a response to someone who actually needs it. If someone dials 911 on a landline as a prank or misdials, emergency personnel will be dispatched directly to that location. These unnecessary calls into 911 could mean life or death for someone having a real emergency.
Texting to 911 for Deaf, Deafened and Hard of Hearing Individuals
I will take a moment to explain the new T911 system and how you can help ensure this system will work well for you when you need it in a life-threatening emergency.
Texting to 911, known as T911 for those with wireless devices, is presently in development. In order to ensure this is an efficient service, T9-1-1 will only be available for those with a hearing loss or speech difficulties. The general hearing population will not have access to this service at this time. The technical trials and consumer trial phase is due to begin in February of 2012 and the proposed launch date could be as early as the summer of 2012 but has not been confirmed.
The next step in the process is to make sure the system is working well for those that will be using the service. As the process nears the launch date, it is very important that there is input from the people that will be using the system; that means you!
What does this all mean?
The Emergency Services Working Group needs to recruit people who live or work in the Toronto area and the Peel area to take part in the trials. In order to participate in the trials you need to be a cell phone user and MUST live or work in either one of these municipalities. The results of these trials will provide information on:
- how well T911 callers can access the 911 Centre
- how the 911 operators handle the incoming text calls
- how well the technical system works
- problems that are identified
Requirements and Expectations for the Participant:
Here are some of the things you need to know if you want to be a participant?
- test calls are intended for the trials only and NOT for actual emergency calls
- if you have a real emergency you need to call 911 the way you are used to calling and do not use your cell phone – it will NOT work for you in a real emergency until after the launch date
- test calls will be scheduled
- you cannot place a test call during non-scheduled times
- participants will be given scripts to follow to assist in making the calls
- participants must be registered to take part in the T911 trials
- this is the only way the system will know you are a T911 caller. If you are not registered for the trial your calls will not work
- participants will require a compatible cell phone to take part in the trials (a list will be provided)
- If your cell phone is not compatible, you will not be able to take part in the trial and you will not be able to access T911 after the launch. If you have a SIM card in your phone you will likely have a compatible cell phone
- feedback must be provided by the participant
- you will be asked to provide feedback on what was good, or what didn't work, to help identify areas of concern that need to be addressed before the launch
- those cell phones registered to the participant for the trial are the only ones that can be used during the trial phase
- do not use another person's cell phone for the trial – it will not work. Only your cell phone that is registered can be used and only you can place the calls during the trial.
- support will be provided to trial participants as required during the trial
- you will have a few options for support; your wireless service provider (Rogers, TELUS, Bell and Wind Mobile) and me; Mandy Conlon. Contact information will be provided to you once you register for the trial.
With your help, we can make the T911 trial a success

Hi, I work here with an cluster beowulf running an "home-made" parallel aplication, using MPI, and we have some problems of local disk IO. The aplication needs to load a lot of data information to process the real data, and the development team don't know how to make the read more eficient. They wanna change the block size when reading and writing, but they don't are "IO experts", and they are having a lot of trouble with it. The application is writen in Fortran, and the development team sayd in this progamming language the change of block size is not possible, but they believe be possible in C. Anyone have faced this kind of problem? This application runs also in an SGI machine with 32 cpus and the problem is the same... If anyone have some tip to give to me, i will be very grateful!

DIY spending drops to a record low
The continued squeeze on household budgets and a subdued housing market have been blamed for the lowest level of DIY expenditure in 15 years, as revealed by a recent report by Lloyds TSB.Lloyds TSB says people are spending less and less money on home improvement
The data, compiled from ONS figures and a family spending survey, showed households spent a total of £7.8bn on DIY last year, equivalent to £300 per home. This is the lowest since Lloyds began the records in 1996 and almost half the £15.5bn spent during the DIY peak of 2004.
There was a fall of 17% in real terms - which allow for inflation - from the total of £9.4bn spent in 2010. Tools and equipment for home improvements declined by almost a fifth, from £3.8bn in 2010 to £3.1bn in 2011. Faring slightly better was spend on DIY materials including paint and plaster, which suffered a less dramatic drop of 16% - from £5.6bn to £4.7bn.
Total spending on DIY and tradesmen's services fell by 10% to £14.8bn in 2011 from £16.4bn in 2010. In contrast to the significant drop in DIY spending, expenditure on tradesmen's services rose by 1% in real terms over the past year from £6.97bn to £7.04bn. This growth was small respite, however, from the steady 40% decline in tradesmen's services spend over the past 10 years.
The group described DIY consumer behaviour as "highly differing" over the past 10 years. Between 2001 and 2007 spend on DIY increased by almost a fifth (18%) as the housing market boomed. Tools spend saw a massive boost of 82%. Since the peak of the housing market in 2007, DIY spend has plummeted by 44%.
Lloyds TSB housing economist Suren Thiru said: "Consumers have been experiencing the biggest squeeze on their discretionary income for over a year. Couple that with a very subdued housing market, and it is unsurprising that so many are cutting back on home improvements.
"With economic conditions expected to remain challenging, the current squeeze on spending on both DIY and tradesmen is likely to continue for some time yet."

Rebecca Logan
Let's pretend for a moment that this column is called "Resale Therapy," because it's time to talk kids' consignment.
Spring consignor registration is now open for Fayetteville's two most established sales of gently used children's paraphernalia, and it will be open soon for an up-and-coming third sale, if it's not already by the time you read this.
These biannual sales are several weeks away. But if you want to start sorting your items or snagging decent volunteer shifts, you need to get moving.
For the uninitiated, here's how this works: If you consign items at a sale - such as kids' clothes, strollers or toys - you get to shop before the general public. And if you log volunteer hours, you get to shop before consignors. First dibs can mean sweet deals.
Honestly, when I learned last year that I'd be moving back to Fayetteville, consignment sales were among the first "pluses" that popped to mind. And I didn't even know about the Kids Exchange, which kicked off in Cumberland County last spring.
The original Kids Exchange is the now-gigantic, 3,000-plus-seller sale at the N.C. State Fairgrounds. (The next one there is in early February.) Raleigh Kids Exchange founders ended up franchising their ideas to folks such as Cassi Bergevin, a Raleigh resident who bought the Fayetteville franchise.
"There really isn't a competition in consignment," Bergevin said. "Customers are telling us they'll take as many (sales) as they can get."
So mark your calendars:
Hugs and Kisses: Private sales are March 12. Doors open to everyone March 13-15. This sale has absolutely exploded in size in recent years with about 800 consignors spanning the Crown Expo Center last fall. Go to hugsandkissesconsignment.com.
Twice Is Nice: Private sales are March 15 at Northwood Temple on Ramsey Street. Doors are open to everyone March 16. This longest-running sale limits the number of consignors to about 350 because of space constraints and has a loyal following. Go to northwoodmops.com.
Kids Exchange of Fayetteville: This one managed to register 95 consignors for its fall sale, a number Bergevin hopes to top this spring. When we talked this week, she had not completed her lease agreement but is hoping to start the sale in late April at Freedom Courts Sports Complex on Gillespie Street. Watch the website for details. Go to kidsexchange.net /fayettevillenc.
Moving on. Bulldozers were moving dirt this week just south of the Ramsey Street Walmart. That's Stout family land. When I called developer Cam Stout late this week, he said he was not quite ready to talk about what's going on but added that he should be by early next week. Stay tuned, Ramsey Street readers. This has the makings of something good.
Heading over to Skibo Road, officials with the Greensboro-based Battleground Restaurant Group, which runs Tripps, did not immediately return calls regarding the big pile of bricks outside the closed Fayetteville location. But building plans submitted to the city seem to indicate the hubbub is all for a bigger Tripps.
As for the Cracker Barrel going up where Ryan's Grill Buffet and Bakery used to be? That's likely to open in late July, according to a spokeswoman for the Tennessee-based purveyor of comfort food and gifts.
She said this will be a newer prototype than the Cracker Barrel that opened off Cedar Creek Road in 1996 but added that most guests won't notice the difference.
People are noticing work going on at Cross Creek Plaza in what used to be Goody's. Crews there are setting up a "temp office space" of sorts, said Brian Armstrong, vice president of C&S Commercial Properties and Cross Creek Plaza Inc.
Armstrong did not tell me the name of the temporary tenant. But I'll just remind readers that Sykes Enterprises has said it would lease temporary call center space somewhere in Fayetteville until its own $9 million call center could be built.
I'll let you draw your own conclusions as I bring things back to shopping and to what might happen with the ex-Goody's space once the temporary tenant moves on.
Armstrong said C&S has been talking about the spot with a national retailer that is not necessarily "glitz and glamour" but would, he added, be welcomed by many Fayetteville shoppers. Hmmmm. Curious.
I still haven't heard back from the folks at Texas Roadhouse about what they've got cooking for their closed Aspen Creek location. Remember, Fayetteville's Aspen Creek was one of three ski-lodge-like restaurants that Roadhouse opened as a new concept. The other two Aspen Creeks are still open.
During a presentation Wednesday at an investor conference in Florida, Texas Roadhouse President Scott Colosi said, "We're kind of exploring different things on the new concept front, with . the goal of continuing to protect our balance sheet."

Photo Collage App Maker Effect 1.0 Review
A number of applications exist to work with photos on a mobile device. Photo Collage App Maker Effect's usability problems and programming bugs make this photo application a less desirable download.
The initial download and installation of Photo Collage App Maker Effect completed quickly. There were no user instructions and it was unclear if technical support existed. The initial menu was difficult to decipher and had four small buttons along the bottom that were hard to read. When we selected the first one for background images, the program prompted an additional 20MB download, which took 15 minutes to complete … Read more

The arena rock group behind one of the fastest-selling debut albums in history, Boston was the vehicle of studio wizard Tom Scholz. After graduating from M.I.T., Sholz began work for Polaroid and set about constructing his own 12-track recording studio in the basement of his home. There he teamed with vocalist Brad Delp, and together they landed a contract with Epic Records in 1975.Boston released three hit singles ("More Than a Feeling," "Long Time," and "Peace of Mind"), and shot immediately to the top of the charts. Following the initial overwhelming success, the group spent two years working on its follow-up, 1978's No. 1 hit Don't Look Back. The chart-topping album Third Stage did not appear until 1986. Over its 35-year history, Boston has sold more than 31 million albums in the United States.

ODST is open-world, Reach could use Natal, says Bungie
Halo 3: ODST is an open-world game, Bungie's told the Seattle Times.
"We're doing a lot of pretty neat things in terms of mixing it up, introducing some non-linearity, some free exploration," said Joseph Staten, writer and creative director.
"This is also a mystery story so there's a lot more clue-finding and mystery-solving than you would normally find in a game of this kind — nothing that strays too far from the fun 'Halo' experience, but we definitely decided to take a little bit of risk and have some fun with this one."
But stuff boring old 2009. What about next year's Halo Reach?
"I absolutely think Reach could be enabled with [Natal]," said the developer.

Bungie's Staten outlines Halo: ODST
In an Q&A with Gamepreo, Halo: ODT writer and creative director Joseph Staten sheds some more light on how stealth will play a part in the next instalment of Bungie's mega-shooter.
"The silenced SMG is just one of the tweaks to the Halo 3 sandbox that make ODST a stealthier experience — one that, at least in the open environment of nighttime New Mombasa, rewards a more measured approach to combat," said Staten.
"As a non-Spartan, you'll need to be careful about the fights you pick, especially when you're on your own."
"Brutes in ODST are much more interested in self-preservation than they were in Halo 3 which makes for terrific, multi-layered encounters," he explained.
"You need to think before you engage — decide how you want to take apart an encounter before diving in or you'll get into trouble pretty quick, especially on higher difficulty levels.
"Unlike a Spartan, an ODST doesn't have shields," concludes Staten. "You're a little slower too, so if you get hit you can't just run sprint to safety."
We want this game right about now, please Bungie.

Halo 3: Recon in open-world, has flashbacks
The latest issue of Game Informer has, as promised, fleshed out detail on Halo 3: Recon, revealing the add-on as an open-world shooter with flashback story-telling.
From CVG:
On the ground you've got new equipment, such as a PDA to set waypoints on a wireframe map, and you're left to explore the city in an order that you wish.
"The reason we chose the ODST is it's absolutely a character that we've had ideas about how to develop and put more front a center in the Halo games," Bungie creative director, Joseph Staten explains to GI.
The goal is to find and investigate the last known locations of your four ODST team mates, using the new 'Visual Mode', which as shown in the debut trailer highlights enemies an items with a hi-tech neon glow, to path your way though the moon-clad metropolis.
Once you reach one of the last-known waypoints of your four teammates you'll find a crime scene – such as a sniper rifle hanging from a street light – and enter a Lost-stlye flashback to earlier that day, where you'll control the squad member for an entire level.
Through the 30 minute flashback, which is said to play more like a traditional, linear Halo level, you'll discover the fate your teammate and unravel the mystery of what went on in New Mombasa.
Plenty more through there. Bungie's last Halo trilogy entry releases in the back half of next year.

University Tutorial Program
College Reading and Learning Association
The University Tutorial Program has earned Level III certification by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) for its tutor training program. This certification enables the University Tutorial Program to certify tutors on Regular, Advanced, or Master tutor levels based on training and experience.
Since March 1989, over 1000 college and university tutorial programs in the United States and Canada have received tutor training certification through CRLA's International Tutor Program Certification (ITPC).
The purpose of this program is twofold. First, it provides recognition and positive reinforcement for tutors' successful work from an international organization, CRLA. Second, its certification process sets a standard of skills and training for tutors.
CRLA's ITPC has been endorsed by the National Association for Developmental Education, Commission XVI of the American College Personnel Association, the American Council of Developmental Education Associations, Association for the Tutoring Professional and the National Tutoring Association.
What does certification mean?
Tutors who receive level one status have met the basic requirements for tutor certification, which involve pre-term training on tutor roles and responsibilities, designing and implementing effective tutoring sessions, communication skills, questioning techniques, proper documentation and study skills strategies, as well as the accumulation of required tutoring experience. After completion of Regular certification, a tutor may then be certified at the Advanced or Master levels with additional training and experience.

Brining your turkey will help to produce a more flavorful, moister bird. Brines help the turkey to reduce the amount of moisture lost in barbecuing or smoking. This recipe is simple and easy to do.
1 gallon fresh apple cider
2/3 cup kosher salt
½ cup sugar
Optional spices: crushed allspice, cinnamon stick, whole clove
Directions: Pour cider into large sauce pan and add salt and sugar. Bring to a simmer and stir to dissolve. Let cool. Place turkey in double-lined roaster bags or in a plastic container that your turkey fits snugly into. Pour cooled cider brine over the turkey and secure the bag or cover the container. Allow to brine for 12-24 hours. Remove from brine, rinse thoroughly with cold, running water, pat dry and roast as normal. This brine allows for an exceptionally moist and tender turkey with a sweet subtle hint of apple

Billionarie developer Rick Caruso said Thursday he has decided against entering next year's race for Los Angeles mayor.
Caruso, who developed the popular Grove shopping center and has held a number of appointed positions in the city, said it is not the "appropriate time" for him to step aside from his company.
"As lifelong Angeleno, I have dedicated my career to supporting Los Angles through world-class developments, creating jobs and economic benefits and in working with civic and community organizations throughout Los Angeles," Caruso said in a written statement.
"I look forward to continuing to contribute to our city by focusing on endeavors that enrich the lives of the people in this city."
The announcement comes weeks before the filing period for the March primary election opens and it leaves Controller Wendy Greuel, Council members Eric Garcetti and Jan Perry and former prosecutor and radio talk show host Kevin James as the most prominent candidates.
County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky has also announced he does not plan to run.
It had been estimated that Caruso, who was going to self-finance his campaign, would have needed to spend upwards of $10 million to be a viable candidate and to get his name and campaign message known to voters.
