The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.
Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Fitness Monitor:
Had a Garmin 305 for several years. Putting on the 910xt was amazing. Fits better, smaller. Better display! Yet similar enough in function to the 305 that I didn't have to re-learn how to use it. Love it!
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Fitness Monitor:
This was purchased for my 18 year old daughter who is a competitive triathlete. It is her second Garmin as she unfortunately had her first one "disappear" at the gym not long ago - ouch! She swears by her Garmin and uses it for all her swimming, biking and running workouts. There is a learning curve to understanding the setup and all, but once that is covered, it is an invaluable tool for triathlons and a great way to track your progress by loading data on the computer. She is small with very small wrists, so it is pretty bulky on her, but once she got used to it, she doesn't even notice it's there.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Fitness Monitor:
I compete in triathlons and running races. If this worked all the time, I would give it 5 stars! There is no other GPS that does what this one does. That being said, there are definite drawbacks. It is finicky and breaks easily. The heart rate monitor designed for Garmin is junk. It stops working by either not reading your heart rate, reading it too high, and/or reading it too low. It has done all three within the period of 5 minutes. It is bad enough that it stops working during training, but it can be devastating during a race. I have run 2 half marathons where it stopped working, and three triathlons. Mine has never kept track of swimming yardage on an outdoor swim. It is difficult to set up the programming, and where certain settings are is not intuitive. I love it when it works, and hate it when it does not. Usually, it will not read my heart rate accurately for anywhere from the first five minutes of a run up to the first 4 miles. This one was areplacement as I ordered one in September 2012 that stopped working properly and developed water under the screen despite the claim that it is waterproof. If Garmin would develop a new heart rate monitor strap that worked as well as a Polar, I would be much happier. In fact, I specifically bought my Garmin from REI because REI has such a super return policy and I knew from personal experience and internet research, how reliability is a huge problem for the Garmin 910XT.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was very prompt. I called and talked to a representative, and I had a new one in 2 days. Can't say enough about REI customer service!
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Fitness Monitor:
I will use this watch for ultra-running, but it has versatility for speed work, creation of workouts, detailed monitoring of pool and ocean swimming, and all sorts of biking statistics. It functions just as the 310XT with push-buttons, although there is a "face-tapping" feature to turn on the back-light when on a run, without hitting buttons. I haven't tried that feature, but look forward to using it. By the way, the bulkiness of the watch simply comes with the territory on multi-function GPS watches.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Fitness Monitor:
This product works as advertised. It seems to be accurate, but who really knows? I bought it for counting laps in the pool, tracking open water swim distances, running functions, and for triathlons. It seems to do all those things well. It is not a good bike GPS unit, so I still use my Garmin 500 for that. It is difficult to use and the screen is small, but I am not aware of a superior alternative. I have been using Garmin Connect for a couple of years now and it is very helpful for tracking all my swims, rides, and runs. I would buy this again.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Fitness Monitor:
This is a great watch.
I mainly use it for training for duathlons, and now triathlons. I used to go on mapmyrun.com to view mileage and it's really nice to have the garminconnect site automatically upload my data.
The watch seemed large at first but I rarely notice it any more.
The only smallest problem is the signal for GPS. I run in nyc, and it takes some time to get a pinpoint. Honestly, it's not that big of a deal.
This watch is worth purchasing if you enjoy looking at your stats and analyzing performance. I really appreciated the information. I now know my body better and can gage what my body is doing (pace/cadence) more accurately because all of the detailed stats.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Fitness Monitor:
I love that it picks up satellite quickly; however it is smarter than I am. My sis knows the watch so I look to her for answers. But I have yet to figure out sending GPS maps to the watch.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Fitness Monitor:
Had the unit for a couple of weeks and used it on a 50K race (31mi) on the Skyline to Sea trail through Big Basin State Park. Grabbed the satelittes quickly and held on through out the day, under some pretty heavy tree cover and canyons. It was pretty cool and re-assuring to get the mile vibrations and the split times during the 7+ hours on the course. Only showed 29 miles total, but did the math on the 11,000 elevation changes and worked out to being pretty close. I have also used it on my local training routes and it is spot on. Plan on using it regularlly in the future and for other sports.
Service and delivery comments:
Very fast service. Had it delivered to my daughters house while we were there for a week and it arrived ahead of the time estimate.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Fitness Monitor:
Like this the best of all my Garmins. Didn't want to spend the money but it is worth it. Nice solid piece of equipment and the battery life makes it worth it. I was really disappointed in the Garmin 610s battery life but this one is great. Really like the altimeter for mountain running.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Fitness Monitor:
After a couple of years using a Garmin FR60 as my goto triathlon training watch the band finally broke. I've been looking at the FR910xt and the FR310 but i really couldn't stand the color and the bulkyness of the watch. Given it is much sleaker in design than the FR305 with better waterproofing the Orange color just was a big turn off. The FR910xt has much more functionality when used as a swim/bike/run watch and I also use it during my weight/cross training. That is something a true running or swimming watch couldn't do. This one does it all, Since I'm used to programming Garmin pages I set everything up just like I want and have the data during training or racing I need to perform the best I can. #thumbsup

Rated 5 out of 5 by sunnygirl214 Love this coat
Just bought this coat at Bergdorf Goodman. It's absolutely stunning on. The sales men and ladies all gasped when I tried this coat on. Great with a shorter skirt, stockings and killer heels. It's a shorter coat - hits above the knees - so great for showing off killer legs.

How heavy is the coat, i.e. good for Fall or Winter?
Could you wear it in Toronto, Canada in the winter or is it more for Southern California?
3 months, 2 weeks ago
Dear BeBeYou could wear this coat in Toronto, Canada during the early months of winter. This coat is made of a lightweight wool and is more suitable for mild winters.
Your question is a little vague. Each person has different requirements regarding warmth. Living in Minneapolis, MN, I would wear this coat for fall and winter, but I don't get cold very easily. It has some heft to it, so it's not a flimsy jacket.2 months, 1 week ago
It's medium weight. I live in NYC and feel I could wear this in 20-50 degree weather.2 months ago

Do you think that the side handles and the base plate are compatible with a TACTICAL TOP PLATE ?
Do you think that the side handles and the base plate are compatible with a TACTICAL TOP PLATE ?
Ordered via ebay, paid US300/- received it 10 days later.
Great product, and steal at the price.
Yusuf Thakur
Just got my Gini cage system and it is much better machined than I had expected. All of the holes seem to line up perfectly. I paid a little over $300 on ebay which is a deal. There is also a handgrip system with rosettes now. I would recommend it if you are on a budget.
I got mine as well. came to $290 shipped. Top and bottom plates, 4 side cage arms, two 15mm rod risers and 4 15mm rods came in the package.
All parts fit exactly, very tight tolerances. Seems machined exactly like the x and VF Brook cages, except 1/4 to 1/5 the price.
Bottom line: Fantastic value for your money.
Insane, for less than the price of most top plates? A little hard to trust, but I will get one on eBay once more start to pop up. Thanks for the feedback
It's too good of a deal to be true, yes. And I feel most are skeptical, but just keep in mind that the cheaper rigs are clones and have not spent the time in development in making these rigs from scratch, hence probably the reason for the massive price difference (Oh and because South Korean labor is a lot cheaper than American.)
Do you have any links? I just did a search for "gini" on eBay and it didn't come up with anything like this.
Type in "Scarlet Cage" or just "Red Scarlet" and you should be able to find it.
Oh yes they're a company that get my total respect, having a website called scarlet-epic.com - nice to show respect for trademarks guys, way to go.
I don't think a true pro would be seen dead with this IMHO.

Customer Reviews
- iCharger 4010Duo Great product, nice quality and finish.
- This board is Well made out of quality parts.The board was the anwser to my wanting to charge several packs at the same time and works flawelessly! Plugs right into my Turnigy Mega 400w charger.
- This board does a good job charging. Will purchase a second board. Since I found out about parallel charging I don't charge single packs any more. Great product.
Once again ProgressiveRC has delivered a grate product in less than one day (ordered Friday early afternoon and received Saturday morning mail).
The quality of this board is noticeably better than my last similar board which I purchased from China. The plugs seem smoother to plug in and out off. The wire is a heavier gauge. The underside of the board is actually enclosed within a solid screw removable case (competitors boards just have a thin rubber pad glued on the underside of the board).
ProgressiveRC provides solid products with very fast shipping.
- great board, great service, have really put the board to good use its been used from the time it came out of the package to right now. the board shows great workmanship.
Easy to use, high quality. Excellent service.
One potential improvement would be a fuse to protect users from dumb mistakes (with the JST-XH plugs especially), but the board is quite easy to use correctly if you're paying attention. - Good product, fast shipment. Works as advertised. Would purchase from this vendor again.
- Great product and very very fast delivery!
- The product appeared and functioned as advertised. The board did have a crack on the back side but has no effect on functionality.
- High Quality, very well built Parallel Charge Board. This is a must to have for parallel battery charging.

No need for a pencil
Dots Free is a free game that lets you play the classic pencil-and-paper game Dots and Boxes (aka Dots and Dashes, the Dot Game, Squares, and so on).
Players take turns placing horizontal or vertical lines between dots on a five-by-seven grid, and the player that places the last line to close off a box scores a point and takes another turn. In Dots Free, you can play with one or two players (or, if you're particularly risk averse, you can even watch the game play by itself), and you can choose between Easy and Medium artificial intelligence settings. … Read more

I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 laptop and the fan is pretty much dead
I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 laptop and the fan is pretty much dead. The computer shuts off after 15 minutes of use. Can you tell me the model number for this fan and is there a guide to replacing it?
First of all, make sure that the laptop shuts down because of a dead fan and it's necessary to replace it. When you turn on the laptop, does the fan start spinning? Can you here it at all? It's very likely that the laptop shuts down because the cooling module is clogged and it needs just a good cleaning. Laptop overheating is a very common issue. I just replace a motherboard on Toshiba Satellite A65 and believe me, the heat sink was 100% clogged with lint and dust. So, I would check the heat sink and the fan first. Here's a disassembly guide I made for Toshiba Satellite A65 laptop, it would be the same for Satellite A60. If you want to find a heat sink cooling fan for this model, look up on the Internet by the part number: V000042110.
If you want to clean up the fan and the heat sink, it would be enough to remove just the keyboard. You'll get a good access to the cooling module so you can clean it up with compressed air. To replace the fan, you'll have to remove to top cover and fortunately, you don't have to remove the system board.
UPDATE: Here's another thread dedicated to Toshiba Satellite A60 and A65 problems.


text: (AP) - Ohio University officials are recommending a 3.5 percent increase in tuition and fees for in-state undergraduate students at the Athens campus. It would be roughly a $345 increase that would drive tuition and fees above the $10,000 mark for the first time. Officials also want a 3.5 percent increase in room rates and a 1.5 percent hike in board rates, for a $255 increase. The school's board of trustees is expected to vote on the proposals next Friday.

LYONS, WAYNE COUNTY (AP) -- Police in western New York say a 76-year-old woman has been injured by a runaway horse-and-buggy.
Wayne County Sheriff's deputies tell media outlets that Amanda Graber of Lyons was riding in a buggy with her 18-year-old grandson around 5 p.m. Wednesday when the horse got spooked and tore off down the road. The grandson, Joseph Schmucker, jumped to safety before the buggy tipped over but his grandmother was unable to get free. She was dragged in the buggy for several hundred feet.
After neighbors got the horse under control Graber was taken by ambulance to a Rochester hospital for treatment of her injuries.
The incident happened in Lyons, about 30 miles southeast of Rochester.

Hi Everybody,
I am trying to make a Thinking Worlds simulation that uses infrared thermography. So, what I am thinking is that I would have to use 2 layers, a visible layer, and an invisible layer. Is it possible to do this in thinking worlds? Sort of like use the thermography device in the thinking world to create a small second view that would render the invisible layer.

Disappointing weather for the Seasiders
12:40pm Thursday 28th June 2012 in Sport
St Ishmaels (46 for 4) v Saundersfoot (175 for 4) – Match abandoned Saundersfoot were disappointed when the rain came heavily enough to bring a premature halt to their match with St Ishmaels because they were in the driving seat.
The Seasiders had totalled 175 for 4 thanks to Nick Cope (30), Dai Davies (22), Jason Llama (19) and Tom Richards (19) before Simon Wood (42 not out) and Phil Jones (36 not out) provided the necessary late impetus against Andrew Pawlett (2 for 24), Daniel Flynn (1 for 30) and Robbie Thomas (1 for 46) Wood also looked impressive with the ball in a 2 for 16 spell where he dismissed Tish danger men Peter Bradshaw and Jonathan Pawlett, assisted by Danny Caine (1 for 4) and Richards (1 for 23) when Tish batted after tea. Dan Howells contributed 14 not out but Tish looked in a little bother at 46 for 4 when rain might just have saved their bacon.
St Ishmaels' match ball was sponsored by Graham Parker.
Umpires: John Williams and Steve Blowes.
Scorers: Wendy Bradshaw and Hazel Poole.

NEW YORK (February 7, 2013)--Health experts and regulators warn that thousands of nursing homes nationwide are still ill-prepared for a natural disaster after Superstorm Sandy.
The storm in late October was the latest natural disaster to expose gaps in emergency planning despite an industry-wide effort to improve preparedness in the years since Hurricane Katrina.
In New York City, the staffs of seaside nursing homes and assisted living centers struggled to evacuate more than 6,000 residents from their flooded or powerless buildings.
Some changes could be in the works, however.
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said it expects to issue new disaster planning requirements for nursing homes this year with the goal of avoiding the types of problems encountered during the superstorm.

Adam Gerchen, center: 'We don't want to have a seat at the table.' Callie Lipkin for The Wall Street Journal
Law would seem to be the furthest thing from a growth industry these days. But a certain class of investors sees one aspect—big commercial lawsuits—as an increasingly good bet.
A new generation of investors is plunging into "litigation finance," putting up millions of dollars to fund lawsuits in hopes of collecting when verdicts come down. Established financiers are expanding into new areas, including loans to law firms, and finding clients among the biggest American companies.
Law firms themselves are starting to jump on the bandwagon, too. They are seeking funding arrangements for clients who need help going after opponents with deeper pockets, or simply want to keep litigation costs off their balance sheets.
"I think you would find a notable percentage of the Fortune 100 have engaged in some kind of funded litigation," says Kent Gardiner, chairman of Washington, D.C., law firm Crowell Moring LLP, which has represented more than a dozen large companies in such cases. "Overwhelmingly, the impetus has been very, very tight legal budgets."
Critics complain that the trend will enable frivolous lawsuits and have argued—including at a congressional hearing last month—that the government should step in to regulate funders of litigation.
But as corporate legal budgets shrink, litigation-finance options are proliferating.
One of the latest entrants is Gerchen Keller Capital LLC, a Chicago-based team that includes former lawyers from Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP and Bartlit Beck Herman Palenchar & Scott LLP. The group has raised more than $100 million and says there is plenty of room for newcomers given the size of the U.S. litigation market, which they put at more than $200 billion, measuring the money spent by plaintiffs and defendants on litigation.
Chief Executive Adam Gerchen, a former portfolio manager at Chicago-based hedge fund Alyeska Investment Group, says demand for alternative financing continues to grow. He points to the success of older funds, such as Burford Capital Ltd. BUR.LN -1.64% Burford Capital Ltd. U.K.: London GBp120.00 -2.00 -1.64% Dec. 12, 2013 4:35 pm Volume : 7,644 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap GBp249.55 Million Dividend Yield 5.23% Rev. per Employee N/A 09/15/13 Outside Funders of Lawsuits Ta... More quote details and news » and Juridica Investments Ltd. JIL.LN -2.93% Juridica Investments Ltd. U.K.: London GBp132.50 -4.00 -2.93% Dec. 12, 2013 4:30 pm Volume : 274,175 P/E Ratio 0.38 Market Cap GBp142.75 Million Dividend Yield 7.55% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » , which have investment pools of more than $300 million and $200 million, respectively, and are traded on the London Stock Exchange.
But he says Gerchen Keller will offer new approaches, too. "One of the thing we're doing differently is investing in financing on both sides of litigation—both defendants and plaintiffs," Mr. Gerchen says.
On the defense side, the fund plans to advance money to companies fighting lawsuits to cover legal fees. The fund gets repaid, plus a bonus if the outcome is successful.
The new outfits are drawn by the prospect of netting millions off investments that range from $2 million to $15 million a lawsuit.
Last year, investment bank Credit Suisse Group AG CSGN.VX -0.38% Credit Suisse Group AG Switzerland: SWX Europe CHF26.15 -0.10 -0.38% Dec. 12, 2013 5:30 pm Volume : 4.69M P/E Ratio 16.56 Market Cap CHF41.88 Billion Dividend Yield 0.38% Rev. per Employee CHF779,726 12/05/13 Credit Suisse to Sell German P... 12/05/13 Europe's Stocks to Watch: Merc... 11/28/13 Newcrest Must Act to Stem Cash... More quote details and news » spun off its legal finance group, Parabellum Capital LLC, which has since raised more than $200 million.
Litigation funders say they help level the playing field by allowing litigants—mostly corporations—to pursue lawsuits against better-financed opponents. The investors assume the risk, and their money helps pay for high-price lawyers or to keep a fight going instead of settling because the money has run out.
Plaintiffs' lawyers have long taken cases on a contingency basis, offering their services free on the front end in exchange for a portion of the reward if they win the case. But some companies—even those that are short on cash—don't want to use plaintiffs' firms, whose lawyers they may have faced in previous lawsuits.
It is difficult to know how widespread the practice is. Third-party funding arrangements aren't typically disclosed unless a dispute between the parties comes to light in court filings.
In one of the more prominent examples, a Burford Capital subsidiary provided $4 million for legal work on behalf of a plaintiff in a large and contentious environmental case against Chevron Corp. CVX -0.91% Chevron Corp.

More quote details and news » concerning an oil spill in Ecuador. Burford says it has since sold the interest to a third party, though it retains a residual interest in the outcome.
Burford also stepped in to provide financing for Gray Development Group in a 2010 suit against a Chicago developer in which Gray ultimately prevailed.
Juridica has backed patent lawsuits brought by companies, universities and investors, and provided a line of credit for the plaintiff in a contractual dispute between two hedge-fund managers, according to Richard W. Fields, chairman of the fund's board.
A $3 million investment in an Illinois oil-equipment manufacturer's international arbitration against Romania soured, and Juridica is now suing the company for breach of representation, Mr. Fields says.
Critics worry that third-party investors will exert undue control over legal decisions, and they fear that the practice will drive up the overall cost of litigation.
"This turns the courts into a stock market of sorts," says John Beisner, a partner at Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP whose practice focuses on mass torts and insurance litigation and who has spoken out against the practice on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Legal Reform.
"If investors are getting that sort of return," Mr. Beisner says, "either defendants are paying a lot more or claimants are receiving a lot less."
Those objections are brushed off by the lawyer-financiers behind the funds.
"We don't want to have a seat at the table, second-guessing strategy," says Mr. Gerchen of Gerchen Keller Capital.
Christopher Bogart, a co-founder and CEO of Burford Capital, and a former general counsel for Time Warner Inc., TWX -0.90% Time Warner Inc. U.S.: NYSE $65.82 -0.60 -0.90% Dec. 12, 2013 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3.63M AFTER HOURS $65.99 +0.17 +0.26% Dec. 12, 2013 7:08 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): P/E Ratio 15.94 Market Cap $60.09 Billion Dividend Yield 1.75% Rev. per Employee $864,529 12/11/13 Weinsteins Sue Warner Bros.

Funding it, he says, would be "the fastest way for me to go out of business."
In recent months Burford has branched out in new areas, such as providing financing for law firms, and Mr. Bogart says the market for such services continues to grow.
"The world of litigation—which is a very large world economically—has historically been very badly underserved by capital," he says. "What we are seeing now is that business wants solutions."

Here at last: OpenOffice 2.0
After many pre-release versions and preliminary reports, the new OpenOffice has finally arrived.
The OpenOffice codebase is the foundation for two products: StarOffice is a commercial product by Sun [1], and OpenOffice is the free software package available from [2]. There are no differences between the actual office packages; instead, Sun provides a collection of colorful add-ons, such as fonts, templates, and clipart with StarOffice. OpenOffice has most of the core functionality users expect from an office suite. The OpenOffice suite comes with almost all Linux distributions and is a major reason for the recent rise of desktop Linux. When OpenOffice 2.0 arrived after many months of preliminaries, we took a look to see if the final version was truly worth the wait. File Formats The most significant change in OpenOffice 2.0 may be the new file formats based on OASIS OpenDocument [3]. These formats are standardized and documented in minute detail, and what's more, software vendors are allowed to implement them without restriction.

Copied below is a letter to the editor submitted to the Delaware State News. You can post your opinions by clicking on "Reply."
Attention, residents of Capital School District:
Our district is at a turning point. This year's election for school board is probably more important than usual. Dover High has entered into a Partnership Zone with the state, teacher morale is lower than I have ever observed, our district is in the midst of the most-expensive building projects in recent history and its use of our financial resources has been seriously questioned. It is with this backdrop that I urge you to vote for Mr. Matthew Lindell.
I have known Matt since he first interviewed for a job in my department at Dover High. He was impressive then, and he continued to impress me throughout his tenure at Dover High School. Matt was always student-directed. He arrived early and left late. He worked and re-worked his lesson plans, ensuring all students the best possible instruction. He freely volunteered his time to help students, all students. He coached, he chaperoned, he counseled. He wrote curriculum. His dedication to our youth demonstrates his commitment to Capital's students. His experience as a dedicated instructor brings a vital insight to the board that would be most useful in this critical time. His knowledge and his experience would offer our school board a keen insight that otherwise has been unavailable to it.
Mr. Lindell's experience and knowledge make him uniquely qualified to serve the parents and students of the Capital School District. One must not forget that, in point of fact, the true purpose of a school board is do just that – do what is in the best interest of the parents and students of its district! Matthew Lindell's education, experience and demonstrated concern and abilities make him an ideal school-board member in this most-difficult environment. Capital District and its students truly need Mr. Lindell. I urge all of Capital's residents to support the candidacy of Matthew Lindell. I ask all of you, for the sake of our students, elect Matthew Lindell to the school board of Capital School District on May 8, 2012!

Few Dover residents in the Capitol school district are not aware of the controversies regarding the actions of the Capitol School Board. The majority of board members voted to grant unreasonable school administrator pay increases in a closed "executive session," a session found by the Delaware State Attorney General to have been conducted illegally. They also approved the huge expenditures for the new Dover High School and administrative complex with no rationale presented as for how any of that cost would enhance student learning and raise student educational competence levels. They repeatedly approved questionable solutions promoted by Capitol district school administrators to problems within the school system, such as those to deal with Dover High School being placed in the "partnership" zone for serious, ongoing problems with student academic achievement. For all intents and purposes, the school board has been nothing more than an extended arm of the Capitol school administration. Ms Clements was one of that majority of school board members voting the items noted above.
Mr. Matt Lindell is a candidate standing for election to the school board seat currently held by Ms Clements. I believe he will bring a refreshing breath of honesty, integrity, balance, and openness to the position. I further believe that he will work for the residents, students, and teachers of the district instead of blindly doing the bidding of the school district administrators.

Mr. Lindell was likely endorsed by the Captial Educators Association because he is a former teacher at Dover High School. Based on my conversations with him, he can hardly be pigeonholed as a special interest advocate. I'm not one to grant that kind of praise easily.

I am pleased to see the quality of candidates in the upcoming school board elections in the Dover area. I am particularly supportive of Cheryl Precourt in the CR district. She was recognized as the DelawarePolitics.net 2010 Citizen activist of the year. She knows the issues like few others. She understands the concerns of families, studied budgets, read curriculum, and has spent time in the schools. She ran last year and many of her fellow citizens gave her support. Sadly she was just 12 votes short of winning in a large field. I know what it feels like to fall just short, but Cheryl has the same dedication to get back up and keep trying that I did because she also knows that it is not about her. She will be a guardian of your tax money and an ear for your concerns. She is by far the best choice you can imagine. I am pleased to endorse my friend, Mrs. Cheryl Precourt.
In the Capital school district, we have two choices that I really like. Mr. Simmons is a great community servant and leader, who is intelligent and capable. He would be a fine addition who has my greatest respect., Yet I actually have found a completely amazing candidate that I could not pass up. Matt Lindell has the exact right formula for Capital this year. He brings a needed balance for a school district that needs a strong taxpayer advocate who knows what is wrong under the hood of our fine school district. Matt has been a teacher in the district and he is passionate about our children and safeguarding the taxpayers. He will help my friend Brian Lewis bring needed reform to the table. It is for this reason that I hope my fellow citizens join with me in voting for Matt Lindell.

That's how you rank the Indy movies?
I just realized this May 22nd is the fifth anniversary of KOTCS, how time flies. I still remember all the hype in the months leading to the release.
Wow...time does fly...KOTCS only felt like 2 years ago at most.
My favorite remains The Last Crusade though, what a classic
I remember how exciting it was that a new Indy movie was finally coming out.
On the subject of a new Indy film, seeing how Harrison looks in the recent trailer for the upcoming Ender's Game, he looks to be in very good shape for his age, he can definitely do Indy again at least one more time, maybe twice if they really get moving and film the next two back to back. I'd definitely like to see another entry or two before Ford has to retire the character for good due to advancing age.
I forgot to ask, but anyone ever been on the Disneyland Indy ride? I've been on it a few times, awesome ride, definitely gives you the feeling of being in an Indy movie.

Mo E-daeng

Address: Khao Phra Viharn National Park, Kantharalak, Sisaket 33110 Thailand See map
0 reply, 21,575 viewed
Overlooking the lowlands that are now part of Cambodia, the steep cliff of Mo E-daeng is where officials have had the headquarters of Khao Phra Viharn National Park built. This location also provides the easiest access to Phra Viharn (or Preah Vihear, as the Cambodians call it), an ancient Khmer shrine to the Hindu god Shiva.
Before France forced King Rama V to cede several large parcels of territory along Siam\'s eastern frontier in the late 19th century, the lowlying land from this cliff all the way to Siem Rat (now Siem Reap in Cambodia) and Phra Tabong (now Battambang) was Siamese soil. Nowadays the border between the two countries in this area follows the contours of this steep-sided mountain, a state of affairs with which most Thais have no problems. An International Court of Justice ruling in 1962 that gave ownership of the shrine to Cambodia was grudgingly accepted by Thailand, partly because the verdict did not touch on sovereignty of the land surrounding it.

Ara Pacis Inititiative
Rome, Protomoteca del Campidoglio, April 20th 2010
Task Force: Religion and Spirituality
Participants: Marc Gopin, Rev. Brian Cox, Joyce Dubensky, Barakat Fawzi Hasan, Rev. Andrew Wesley, Hassan Hanafi Hassanien, Imam Abd al-Wahid Pallavicini and Mrs. Pallavicini, Chris Iosso, David Addiss, Abd al-Ghafur Masotti and Mrs. Masotti
The need to address religion in societal conflict.
One framework is to look at discrete issues to see that the issues manifest in different ways and require different responses (Middle East/ Italy/ Indigenous North American).
- Forgiveness combined with a concrete change of reality = Integrating the personal, family, community, international aspects of peacemaking, conflict resolution and forgiveness.
- Reconciliation with equality.
- Goal of reconciliation is the "softening of hearts"; seeking reconciliation without surrendering the issues of rights and justice for sustainable peace.
- Religion and politics are a dangerous mix if misused and appropriated by politicians as a justification for militarism (however, it can be a powerful transformational tool if used properly).
- Recognition of the other is important; recognizing fellow human beings.
- Seeking reconciliation without surrendering the issues of rights and justice for sustainable peace.
- Peace "education" must be a PEACE AND JUSTICE process.
- Public Ceremony - Ritual is a useful tool, but the concept must be specified and go beyond traditional sense of rituals; can be locally applicable community rituals to facilitate reconciliation.
- Using zones of peace as areas for interaction and education.
- The power of the pulpit - use of religious sermons to facilitate concrete social change.
- The power of the story/personal narrative.
- Forgiveness and repentance; the sacrifice/offering of their personal trauma.
- Film.
- A way to enter a conflict and participate is with humility, focus on relationships, and trust in God; such a strategy will be productive.
(Equal recognition as a basis for dignity, forgiveness and reconciliation; not necessarily official recognition, but practical; theoretical (within the heart) versus legal definition).
a. The elicitive approach is one way to approach conflicts though a more prescriptive approach may also be valuable at times if a society is "stuck".
- Check understanding and interpretation of concepts; words/concepts are often not similarly understood across cultural/linguistic lines; use deep listening to truly hear.
- Religious method: enter with focus on establishing relationships based on humility and trust in God that this will work.
Notes:Gregory Miller
Guidelines; Approaches; Methodologies: what has worked successfully?
To be applied around the world to various conflicts.
Hassan Hassanien:
Change the concept of religion; in the literature, religion has a narrow definition; must be beyond ritual and faith, beyond the dichotomy of secular versus religion. The realm of religion and secular society overlap (i.e. helping the poor).
Dignity is paramount. Forgiveness is conditioned by changing the reality of the victim/victimizer relationship. Reconciliation must be between equal parties; cannot be a superior/inferior relationship.
Ideas translating to practical issues; countless separate groups in civil society are driving toward the same goal of peace; their efforts must become visible and interact.
St James: don't just say "Oh Lord", put the principles into practice.
Joyce Dubensky:
Religions as motivation for working toward peace, even by putting themselves in physical peril.
Peace Education: work with teachers and students in a conflict area to develop RESPECT in the younger generation.
Using rituals that transcend sects/creeds.
Finding commonality amongst religion.
Zones of peace in conflict zones.
Liberation Theology: El Salvadorian priest used his pulpit to mobilize the peasants.
Role of religion: religious leaders are and can be a valuable resource for peace building, which is not the exclusive territory of secular society; must be either combined with secular efforts or at the very least recognized as an essential element.
Chris Iosso
The importance of forgiveness and the incorporation of repentance; Forgiveness is not a surrender.
Perhaps it doesn't begin with equality, but through forgiveness the parties may become equals.
Rituals and sacrifice in religion; forgiveness is a "sacrifice" of individual wounds and painful memories.
Forgiveness must be transformed and must be holistic (filled out).
Brian Cox
Faith based conflict resolution; not necessarily interfaith.
The effort is practical problem solving; forgiveness is a softening of hearts. People must be reached individually.
Guideline: Unilateral action; does not depend on the offender and the two way relationship. May be undertaken by the victim individually. To be complete, however, and complete reconciliation, the perpetrator must repent and acknowledge their actions.
Marc Gopin
Different definitions of forgiveness across faiths; there have been historic ritual efforts to normalize "rules" of forgiveness.
A knowledge of traditions of forgiveness is essential to reach across cultures and religions.
Understanding and respecting various methods of forgiveness and specific rituals; no matter how archaic/barbaric some rituals may seem to an outsider.
Barakat Fawzi Hasan
Misconceptions of others; selfish aims of various groups; The CONFLICT IS NOT BETWEEN RELIGIONS; It is fueled by politics.
The principles of religion are not causing the conflict and delaying reconciliation. Dialogue between people and a true understanding of one another cuts through the policy of governments.
Separate the exploitation of religion for political goals from the religion itself; religion is not a problem.
Marc Gopin
Religion is often feared as being mixed with policy. Religion is often used by aggressors to achieve worldly goals.
Sheik Pallavicini + Italian Islamic Community CO.RE.IS
Deeper and holistic understanding of the various religions; cannot simply focus on violent elements
Stereotypes must be avoided; After 9/11 Muslim community was stereotyped in Italy.
In theory the Islamic community is permitted, but not officially recognized and receive no financial assistance from the state. The mainstream community needs assistance and recognition to combat stereotypes and need equal standing with the Christian sects and Jewish faith. Islam is the second most numerous religion in Italy.
Tax exemption is granted to citizens donating to an officially recognized religion; Islam needs the same.
Proposal was submitted, but difficult because no centralized structure
Marc Gopin
Echoes Bosnian Muslim religious leader about the need of recognition to combat radicalization of marginalized peoples.
Preservation of the status quo does not work; Islam and Christianity must be reconciled in Europe, the diametric juxtaposition does not function and is pursued unconsciously in the interest of traditional views/organization of society.
Joyce Dubensky
In the short-term it is necessary to ally with the recognized religious organizations to achieve the political goals through unity with the other religious groups.
Pursuing this technique; has not functioned.
Request to the MAYOR:
Sheik Pallavicini
Islam is framed as a foreign religion and considered a religion of immigrants; over a million Muslims, mostly immigrants, the small community of natural born Italian Muslims is thus marginalized, only 30,000 Jews.
All believe in the same GOD. All brothers and sisters recognizing the same GOD. Social reconciliation here demands that Islam is recognized.
Marc Gopin
Recognition/acknowledgment, respect and equality as a bridge toward continued peace.
Andrew Wesley
Aboriginal views: North America is the holy land; compared with relationship of Israel to their land and God.
Imposition of New Testament; the indigenous creation story is STILL fresh in indigenous society; the importance of their origin story/Creation Spirituality. Yet the religion of the indigenous people is not recognized, the faiths are compatible, but their particular origins must be recognized and respected alongside the imposed faith.
Marc Gopin
Shared story, creation stories; unity beneath the stars
Difficult to convey to secular policy makers; stories are difficult to centralize; film has been used to disseminate knowledge and recognition of various faiths.
Chris Iosso
Dignity is more important than specific rights; Recognition can include dignity and rights.
Symbolic importance of Israel; only protect Jewish religious sites; Christian and Muslim sites are ignored by Israeli law.
Hassan Hassanien
Theology versus policy; the methodology must combine.
Deep analysis of the middle ground; Concepts must transform. i.e. what is a ritual? The theological symbolism is not as important as the actions (see St. James quote above).
Change people's reality. The process of peace-making, traditionally, stresses the subjective aspects over the objective and deeper aspects.
Religion is used for war but must be used for peace. Is also used for divisive means. Nation state system are archaic and divisive; putting up borders doesn't help.
Bakarat Fawzi Hasan
Forgiveness and reconciliation must include restitution of property and tangible rights.
Marc Gopin
Peace education is caught up in semantics and pre-conceived notions; for instance, peace educatin can be considered as covering up crimes and surrendering justice.
Peace education is used as a first step toward justice and equal rights.
The route to rights; Ghandi used love. He didn't surrender rights, merely sought to build trust and heal wounds to attain rights.
Shared language and practices that go beyond dialogue. Echoes Barakat's point that tangible results are needed, talking alone will not suffice. The dialogue must be aimed toward concrete action.
Joyce Dubensky
Clarifies her point of shared rituals for peace as a method toward reconciliation.
The need to clarify the meaning of words between conflicting parties and within committees.
Hassan Hassanien
Contends that the tangible results and equality can come first before the forgiveness (i.e. South Africa).
Marc Gopin
Peace and forgiveness regarded as dirty words to some faiths; for instance, Judaism preaches to only forgive those that wrong an individual; cannot, therefore, forgive for mass murder.
The diction must sometimes change as an essential first step.
The respect SHOWN by their supposed enemies inspires forgiveness subconsciously, without using red flag words that are resisted.
Andrew Wesley
Wisdom, humility, bravery, trust, respect, love.
These similarities made Christianity's tenants easily acceptable and familiar.
Marc Gopin
Personal experience; elicit method of training to suspend judgment and listen; facilitates the use of religion in peace-making.
A challenge to using principles as the basis for peacemaking; equates this strategy with western imperialist slant.
Forgiveness is "explosive and controversial".
Public ceremony, "delicate art"; the danger is the emptiness if it is not backed up with tangible justice; the ceremony and public recognition offers false satisfaction that can impede real implementation of justice.
Each place is unique.
Forgiveness must be spontaneous, not planned; power relationship can be hidden and misinterpreted.
Build the relationship first, then seize opportunities as they arise.
People focus on the negative and must be coaxed out of this pattern; begin a dialogue and seize opportunities as they arise.
Andrew Wesley
Difficulty when religion acts as the victimizer; difficulty when the narrative is negative; applicability of the survivor's experience and in some senses forgiving the survivor for their own abuses caused by their trauma.
Differing ideas of justice among cultures.
(Conference: The creator will only ask one question following death: "What did you do with the gift that I gave you?")
Refining the document
- Power of the narratives, both personal and communal
- Documentary/film making
- Method of listening/understanding
- Individual, family, community, international politics; holistic view of the individual peace efforts
- The frustration by many of the perceived arrogance of imposing plans and programs; relationships; humility
- Problem when peace is equated with imperialist tendencies/control
Brian Cox
The program isn't necessarily imperialistic; sometimes an aggressive prescriptive strategy is necessary to free the parties in a conflict from being stuck repeating the same failed strategies.
Public conversation about reconciliation as a method.
Changing the paradigm.
Chris Iosso
Pressure and power to ensure justice; who has legitimacy to intervene.
Marc Gopin
The programs and outside imposition is fickle; the change must be holistic and come from the people.
o �ie�?��ʧcountry-region w:st="on">UK for this reason, its traditional country. What about the educational process? This is so important.
Melloni: My suggestion is, before stopping, to choose, the coordinator for the afternoon and beyond. A member of the board is good.
Schetro: We need guidelines, methodology.
Schetro: I look at 3 questions: why are we doing this: the education about history, reconciliation, forgiveness, dignity? It's not the general study of history, this is for a particular purpose. To unfold historical truth that can create a platform for young people to understand out shared history. To acknowledge pain and history. For students to understand root conflicts. For young people to understand the roles. To help us move away from being controlled by history, and break the cycle of violence.
Zarina: religion also has a role to play. All religions talk about forgiveness and reconciliation so it should be taught to children.
Scherto: All of us offer ways to move this forward. Touching deeper aspects of history. Not just recent history, but the roots in early history. Offering the space for pain and suffering. Linking events throughout history. Teacher training to enrich their exposure to diversity. Multiple resources: arts, music, multimedia, games, experiential history, putting kids into debates, etc using historical context. People learn differently, work differently with kids, adults, etc. Including testimonies of forgiveness, to inspire people towards love and peace. It should also focus on helping students develop self-awareness, then you'll be more open to understanding history. Projects we might do: test cases, narrative and forgiveness cross-culturally, repairing deficit knowledge, creating games, a conference of forgiveness.
Monica: I have another one. I work with universities, conflict about Israel and Palestine, to join the people in universities, in Rome or somewhere else, to talk about the process of peace, take the provost or some students, to try and develop a concrete proposal, to concrete the idea. I think it's possible and could be a very concrete project and we can do that.
Scherto: you can bring students together, dynamics and so on, but what after?
Jamal: Awareness programs.
Svelanat: How do you bring this people together? They live close but they don't interact. Morning shift is one ethnic group, afternoon is another. An alternative space, not school, not family. Groups to perform in mixed languages, families comment, it was ok up to one point, but then what next? You are limited, they experienced something positive, but then they go back to their communities, and there's a wall. Maybe there are little holes in their wall, but they are still there. And their friends and families think they are traitors, because they sought out the enemy. A common place for understanding is good, but the next step is the most difficult thing. If we manage that, there will be no more conflicts. It doesn't erase conflicts but creates a positive foundation for something else.
Zarina: One ethnic group doesn't want a certain food because they say oh that's what the other eats, if we eat that we are betraying. So its important to remove those. They are very strong prejudices. Clothes, the doti, if Pakistanis do that they say you are an enemy, Indians do that. These are prejudices that need to be taken out, children need to know this.
Kakar: It would be great to share the idea that every country needs peace reconciliation, good practices, we need globally working for peace.JP has a big story, we want to invite him to come to Afghanistan to explain, how you're suffering, this is an example, Zarina has another example, it would be great to speak , have awareness groups.
Zarina: tens of thousands of refugees came from Afghanistan into Pakistan, but the people of Afghanistan are very difficult with Pakistanis, they prefer Indians, they are good at public relations, Pakistan isn't, this is how ideas get developed, Afghans don't like us, we feel they are not being true to us, this is how it develops.
Kakar: We need political peace, and social peace, justice is also.
Monica: history is a construction, this is very important. So history is fact and interpretations. If you agree with the fact, that is a very imp step. Then you can say, this fact is because, and then maybe because we are different, but we start with the fact. And if you accept the truth, sometimes you can't do the justice process when you start if you can know the truth, you can invite, the whole society to be in the process, to construct this history, so everybody's part of this, it's a very dynamic history. For me this is very important.
Zarina: you can give the facts and say, this is what happened, the more details, the more difficult, you must be very concise.
Scherto: We can't treat history that teaches hate, it should be about forgiveness, in ways that people don't forget, but it is a communication. Monica said its imp for constructing. It's not just a fact but active process.
Zarina: Be as factual as possible.
Monica; We see facts from different perspectives, so what happened with us with this fact? To contract the history of the country.
Zarina: The problems are the same in Palestine and Israel, the Israelis must give up the land.
Monica: The land was Palestinian, the Jews took it.
Scherto: But now we're making interpretations.
JP: We can't change the past but we can change how to approach it, or how we carry our feelings about it into the future, and forgiveness is the key.
Monica: We can change our ideas about the past. That's very important.
Melloni: We discussed education but we need to talk also about the narratives, the narrative of forgiveness but also of the trauma, also the problem of the greater audience, the public in general, how can we teach and who can teach to a general audience, in a school audience everything is easy, one's listening, one's teaching, but in the wider audience it is different, these are the two points that must be discussed here and 5 in order to have a complete discussion.
Svetlana: These are the questions he posed at the beginning, we summarized what we presented and we have these 2 more questions. We have indirectly approached this. This experience is familiar to me, after the war we had war veterans come and talk to us about fighting from the different sides.
Scherto: We did say its important to give space for the victim to share their memory of pain and suffering, but we didn't say how to do that in the context of teaching history.
Monica: I can tell you what happened in Chile, the Churches have a very important role, they organized groups of people who suffered, the mother who lost the child, family who lost a family member, they have a system of support, during this long process, 20 years, now we have another 20 years in democracy, but in dictatorship it was important to join these churches, though it was difficult, they have systems of psychology, medicine, who help them to deal with the suffering, to deal with the memory, all the different kind of pain, the psychology problem became a problem, treatment, organization: you are not alone, WE suffered, like a group, we are not alone because we are WE and we are with other people who are supporting us, a group of people who help, during this long process they have activity, it was a process, of talking about the diff issues, sometimes, people who were out of this, like me for ex, I was close but not in, we were invited to talk with them, in her first moment, it was a very slow level of trust, they were afraid, some ceremony, the church organized a big mass or procession, a group has to confront the possible repression it was a movement in action, all this has a lot of positive, healthy, open the situation to others who are afraid, one of the ways we used to work was with the people who suffered the repression and sometimes the artist was important to the people who suffered because they could express what happened.
Scherto: We have so many examples of successful history projects but that doesn't mean as a group that that is what we want to do. As members of the council, what would we like to put forth? We have lots of examples of good projects but are they ours? Do we want to do a forgiveness gathering?
Monica: Others are indifferent, how do you involve people who are indifferent?
Scherto: So maybe people who come to a forgiveness gathering are already forgiving? How do we bring others in?
Svetlana: This is the 3rd question, how do we involve the wider public?
Monica: Each year in Chile its more difficult. It's more far away. After 1990, I said I only want to teach human rights. Each semester we have more than 100 students, wonderful, we have this opportunity to talk, our approach to the issue. But lots of students are indifferent. They say your class has too much of a political view.
Zarina: Because they haven't been through it. They feel they have nothing to do with it.
Kakar: We have two kinds of political party, Communist and Islamic, they are fighting with each other, they come together in Afghanistan, and then when they come to Afghanistan, the Government announced ok this is forgiveness, we will stick together we will find the solution, they started peace negotiations with each other, now they are sitting together, they have a political chair, one is communist, one is mujahedeen, justice, forgiving is another process, Afghan independent human right commission, for the next time they should be enemies, but they started a research, with human rights watch, the result is, people want justice, peace, people make another action plan, we establish a book, then they are writing, from this study, we make an action plan, and this is implemented by the government of Afghansitan, just say apologize or forgiveness, for justice, we want to just come to Afghanistan for forgiveness but first what do you want, do you want a museum, do you want forgiveness, do you want a holiday, memorial days, this is planned by Afghanistan government, the next state to implement this, how to implement this, this is the problem, but this is our example, they are not keeping their promise, how to keep the promise? We need an independent leader.
Svetlana: Concrete ideas? Realistic framework? What are our limits? If I say I can do that, does that mean I will have the resources? We all come from different countries with different resources.

New structure makes CHW no longer officially Catholic
Under the new governance structure, Dignity Health, as Catholic Healthcare West will now be known, will be a not-for-profit organization under which its Catholic hospitals "will continue to be Catholic, directly sponsored by their founding congregations and adhering to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services," said the statement announcing the change. "Dignity Health's non-Catholic hospitals will continue to be non-Catholic, adhering to the Statement of Common Values."
The organization owns or operates 25 Catholic hospitals and 15 non-Catholic hospitals. The system includes 10,000 physicians and 55,000 employees at hospitals and clinics in California, Arizona and Nevada. It has operations in the California archdioceses of Los Angeles and San Francisco and dioceses of San Bernardino, Sacramento, Monterey, Fresno and Stockton; the Diocese of Phoenix; and the Nevada dioceses of Reno and Las Vegas.
In the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, those facilities include Marian Medical Center, Santa Maria; St. John's Regional Medical Center, Oxnard; St. John's Pleasant Valley Hospital, Camarillo; St. Mary Medical Center, Long Beach; California Hospital MedicaL Center, Los Angeles; Glendale Memorial Hospital and Health Center; and Northridge Hospital Medical Center.
William Cox, president of the Alliance of Catholic Health Care, a membership organization for California Catholic hospitals, told Catholic News Service that the "primary rationale" for the change was to bring the Catholic hospitals in the Dignity Health system "into compliance with the moral and doctrinal tenets of the church."
The system includes some non-Catholic hospitals that permitted the direct sterilization of patients, he said, causing problems for Catholic hospitals under the former structure.
The new structure will allow "the identity and integrity of the Catholic hospitals to be protected and strengthened," Cox said.
The statement noted that the changes followed several years of conversations among the organization's sponsoring congregations, board of directors and management team about the future of health care.
San Francisco Archbishop George Niederauer granted his "nihil obstat" to the changes, affirming that the restructuring does not conflict with the teachings of the church.
A statement from the archdiocese said Archbishop Niederauer was initially consulted about a year ago by the six communities of religious women who sponsor Catholic Healthcare West. As head of the archdiocese where the health care organization has its headquarters, it was his responsibility to evaluate the proposal in light of the norms of Catholic teaching and canon law, the statement noted.
Archbishop Niederauer consulted with other bishops and the Ad Hoc Task Force on Health Care of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and spoke with the leaders of the religious communities and with "leading Catholic moralists and authorities in church law who are expert in matters relating to health care," the archdiocesan statement added.
The statement from the health organization quoted its president and CEO, Lloyd Dean, as saying the new structure "supports our long-term plan to grow and coordinate care" and will allow it to "work across the spectrum of health care and expand partnerships."
The restructuring of the nation's fifth-largest health care organization comes after St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix was stripped of its Catholic identity by the local bishop because an ethics committee allowed an abortion to be performed there.
In May 2010, hospital administrators acknowledged publicly that an abortion had occurred at the hospital in late 2009. They said the woman was 11 weeks pregnant and suffered from pulmonary hypertension, which carried a near-certain risk of death for the mother if the pregnancy continued. The hospital and Catholic Healthcare West have maintained that the intention was to save "the only life that could be saved," the mother's.
Phoenix Bishop Thomas Olmsted revoked the hospital's permission to identify itself as Catholic in December 2010, prohibiting celebration of the Mass there and requiring the removal of the Blessed Sacrament from the hospital chapel.
Cox said the situation at St. Joseph's was "not particularly related" to the decision to restructure Catholic Healthcare West and that the new Dignity Health would remain a member of the Alliance of Catholic Health Care.

Rockin' the goodness!
Lulu was the first in her pre-school class to receive a badge of kindness. It's the large irridescent thingy on her shirt, a so-called "fish scale" from a story about a little fish who gave away all her scales to those in need. Hers is the age when such showy badges are allowed. When you get older, compassion can only be evident in spirit. I am so proud of her. Being noted for kindness far exceeds most anything else. Coincidentally, her award happened just two days after I had my little talk with her about rising above the cruelty of others (read my previous blog post). But there are no coincidences. God wanted her to feel encouraged to keep walking in the right direction.

Buy a Samsung 830 SSD, get Ghost Recon Future Soldier for free
Samsung announces a new deal that bundles a downloadable version of the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier game for free with a Samsung 830 series SSD 128GB or larger.
Samsung 830 Series
If CNET's sterling review of the Samsung 830 series solid-state drive isn't convincing enough, here's another incentive.
Samsung announced today that its 830 series SSDs will include a downloadable version of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier PC game with a purchase of the 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB model.
The company says the deal is available only in the U.S. and Canada and only "while supplies last," so you should make your move as soon as you can. You can buy the drive from any retail store and the key to download and activate the game will be included in the box.
The 830 series is one of the best SSDs on the market and has been on CNET's top 5 list of internal drives for a while. It's one of a few that comes with enough accessories to make it work both with a laptop and a desktop to make upgrading to it an easy job.
