Dynamic Optical Networks for Cloud Services with Colt and Infinera
Hide details
Mirko Voltolini, Director, Network Design and Architecture, Colt & Geoff Bennett, Director Solutions and Technology, Infinera
Data Centre and Cloud services offer a flexible solution to the problem of data storage and compute services for enterprises, and even individual users today. But one implication of data centres is that they are highly distributed – partly for resilience, but also to ensure that these distributed storage and processing functions have low latency, and appear to the user as though they are "local". In order to do this, the underlying optical transport network has to have the same level of flexibility as the Cloud services themselves. In this webcast Colt and Infinera will describe how a modern data centre architecture places specific demands on the underlying optical transport network, and how this network can be designed from the ground up to respond to those demands.

Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston, where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited. Request your personal invitation here! Just a few months into his new job at VMware, former SAP executive Sanjay Poonen has orchestrated his first acquisition. Poonen joined VMware in August to run the company's end-user business and make strategic acquisitions. He immediately identified Desktone, a desktop-as-a-service startup (or DaaS), as a contender for an acquisition. Desktop as a service involves the outsourcing of a virtual desktop infrastructure to a third-party provider. The provider is responsible for managing the data storage, backup, security, and upgrades. Above: VMware's Sanjay Poonen "Desktone has been running DaaS at scale for many years and has a strong reputation in helping service providers go to market quickly," Poonen wrote in a blog post. Desktone's platforms are currently integrated with VMware's vCloud, vSphere and Horizon View products. Poonen announced the acquisition today in a press release and e-mail to the press. VMware has not disclosed any of the financials, including the final sum for the acquisition. According to a news release, the transaction is expected to be immaterial to VMware's financial results. More information: VMware VMware (NYSE: VMW) is the leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure solutions that enable our more than 500,000 enterprise and mid-market customers to thrive in the Cloud Era by simplifying, automating and transforming the way ... read more » Powered by VBProfiles VentureBeat's VB Insight team is studying marketing analytics...

installed Postgres 9.2.4 (using PPA). - I used
pg_dropcluster --stop 9.2 main
to remove the default database cluster, because I intended on creating a new cluster on a separate SSD volume (a Rackspace block storage volume) that was just mounted. - I created that new cluster whose data resides on my SSD volume and started it (
shows all the normal Postgres processes running for that new cluster and I'm able to open a Postgres shell and run SQL - i.e., it's running fine). Now when I runpg_lsclusters
there are none listed.
The main
cluster listed just fine before I deleted it. Why won't my new cluster show up, even when it's running? I've even rebooted the server (just in case).

StumbleUpon brought me to a video I greatly enjoy.As I'm sure everyone here is acutely aware of, the Westboro Baptist Church is a despicable hate group hungry for media attention to spread their message. If they end up coming to your town or school to protest, this video suggests a positive way of defeating their efforts.

Mamoru Oshii directs with a staccato rhythm, alternating sequences of rapid-fire action (car chases, gun battles, explosions) with static dialogue scenes that allow the characters to sort out the vaguely mystical and rather convoluted plot. Kusanagi's final quote from I Corinthians suggests that electronic evolution may compliment and eventually supplant organic evolution. The minor nudity, profanity, and considerable violence would earn Ghost in the Shell at least a PG rating. --Charles Solomon

There are no upcoming events to display at this time.
For 62 years the Columbus International Film and Video Festival (CIF+VF) has brought in some of the world's best independent narrative and documentary films to be screened throughout the Central Ohio area. This year we intend to put the spotlight on Ohio and its burgeoning filmmakers.
In May, the CIF+VF will hold it's first annual CIF+VF Made in Ohio film festival. There will be two awards given: 1000 dollars for the best Ohio Made Short Film, and a 500 dollar donation to the winning high school in the Central Ohio High School Filmmaker competition, an award intended to encourage the further development of film and new media creation
There is no entry fee. Documentaries, Experimental, New Media and Narrative will all be accepted. The only limitations are a maximum runtime of 15 minutes and only one film may be submitted per filmmaker. Films entered into the Central Ohio High School Filmmaker Competition must be entered by the High School. Each High School will be allowed to submit a maximum of 5 projects per school. The deadline for entries will be APRIL 22nd.
The Screenings will take place May 16th and 17th, venues to be announced.
We at the CIF+VF are strong believers in filmmaking and new media as vitally important tools for education and economic development. With the lower price point of cameras and editing equipment, the barrier to telling our stories has vanished. There is a rising creative class in Ohio and we would like to do whatever we can to nurture and grow their creativity and expression.
And incentivize it.
You can submit your film by visiting our Film Freeway submission page. Show us what you've got!

Well done Sarah. That must have taken both time and imagination. Your instructions look so clear, which is very important to beginners. And the designs are very pretty too.
- March 26, 2013
I love these Sarah
So well planned and set out -such uplifting verses as well-I can imagine they will be very popular-a lovely keepsake and decoration-it is especially nice you are offering different options for each design-I am so glad you were blessed with the patience to see it through- and it has made me think about something I need to finish
Blessings to you and your family-Happy Easter

Wow Sarah! So that's your secret big project! I never would have guessed it. I love it! All three are so beautiful! What made you decide to go this route? Meaning making up the patterns, trying it out, then fixing or improving, then explaining, etc., and then selling it to people?
I should show you the cross-stitch picture that my aunt made for me last year. It's the whole chapter of Psalm 23 words on it and a picture for each verse. It's beautiful! Next time, I send you an email, I'll try to remember to take a picture and attached it so you can see it. - March 26, 2013

WoW! Sarah,
I am always so amazed with your talents and creativity. It all looks so wonderful and I am now off to view your Esty store :-)

Oh I LOVE this!! They are perfect! I'm so proud of you!! Good job my dear! I might need to order one for my daughter! She was wanting to learn how to cross stitch!! :) They look so good!!
- March 26, 2013
- 7 Eagles said...
I thought you might be up to something like this!:-) Cross stitching is my absolute favorite craft to do, when I have the time. As always, you display excellent craftsmanship, Sarah. What program did you use to print up the booklet?
I also love the set-ups for the different photos. In the very first photo, for example, the backdrop is just lovely. Is this some kind of mantel? I don't remember y'all having a fireplace, or log walls, so it's hard to tell.
Anyway, I am so happy for you that you accomplished your "Big Project," and that it turned out so well. I too am curious...what made you decide to give this a try?
~ Betsy - March 27, 2013
- Anne said...
Great idea, Sarah! I love the Bible verses, and the instructions look very well written. Cute, cute patterns. :-)
Anne♥ - March 27, 2013
- Karen F said...
WOW Sarah! That is so neat! I can only imagine how much work and time and determination it must have taken to finish! It must feel so good to have it completed. :-)Projects like that take such a long time from start to finish - I know what you mean when you say that at times you felt like you would never get it finished. Sometimes I feel that way about the book I'm writing. That's when you just have to keep your eye on the goal, keep pressing toward it, and looking forward to the finish line. :-) Hmmm...sounds a bit like the "race" of life as a child of God! :-)
Congratulations on finishing the "big project"!

Yaaayy! The Big Project at last!!! :) And how very lovely it is! What a great idea - it's the kind of thing that I'd tend to get all excited about and then abandon a few days later. But you have stuck to it from beginning to end and done a beautiful job! I bet so many people will get great pleasure from using the kits, especially with their mixture of a 'handmade' feel and professional quality. The instruction manual looks amazing - I'm intrigued at how you managed to get the pictures of the hoops and thread looking so 3D.
I guess repeats of the same kits will be relatively easy to do now, and your new designs are just going to get more beautiful from here on in. One verse I've always thought would be a nice one for a cross stitch is (from KJB) Psalm 118:24 - "This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Not a suggestion! Just sharing a thought of mine.
So lovely, Sarah. Congratulations. (And really well worth the wait!) - March 28, 2013

Thank you, Leah! That's kind of a hard question to answer as there are/were many things that led to making these! :) So here's the answer in a very small and abbreviated nutshell :) . . . right now it is important to me to be growing and expanding my home business (and there are several reasons behind that), and as I explored what different skills that I have and things that I enjoy, as well as trying to find something that once finished, wouldn't require a great deal of time to keep up with, cross-stitch kits came to mind. I gave it a great deal of thought and prayer and then started the project! I hope that helps to answer your question!
I would like to see the cross-stitch that you made for your aunt! It sounds lovely. Please do send a photo of it! - April 01, 2013

Thank you, Mrs. B. for your kind words! You are sweet. :) I hope you enjoyed your visit to my Etsy store!

You certainly know how to encourage a person, Nabila! Thank you for your encouraging words! And that is wonderful that your daughter would like to learn how to cross-stitch! It's fun to do and one can create such beautiful works of art with it. I am sure she would enjoy it!
- April 01, 2013
- Sarah said...
I wondered if you might, Betsy. :) Thank you for the encouragement! The booklet was designed and printed in just Microsoft Word. Nothing fancy!
The set-ups for the photos was a challenge! I am not very creative when it comes to photography like this so it took quite a bit of thinking and experimentation before coming up with these. I was pleased with how they turned out, though! The first photo is actually the siding on our house with a wood crate set in front of it which the cross-stitch is sitting on. Rather unconventional, but it worked. :)
In answer to your question, the cross-stitch kits was the result of a great deal of thinking and praying about ways to expand my home business (for several reasons) and to be able to develop some product that once finished, didn't take a great deal of time to put together, would be something that I enjoy, and preferably something that had small steps that could be accomplished in little bits of time. Cross-stitch kits came to mind, and then this was the result! - April 01, 2013

Thank you so much, Karen! It was a lot of work and took a lot of time, but it was definitely worth it! I really enjoyed the process overall and am excited about this new endeavor.
Yes, indeed when the end of a project isn't in sight, it certainly helps to remember the end goal that you are working towards and the 'why' behind you doing it. And while your book may feel like a very lengthy process, you will eventually reach the end, and it will be so worth all of the effort that you put into it!
That is indeed a true parallel . . . much like the race of a child of God . . . we must keep pressing "on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Thank you for the reminder! - April 01, 2013
- Sarah said...
Your comment brought a smile to my face, Rena! You were on my mind as I put this post together as I knew you had been wondering what the big project was. :) Your sweet words of encouragement were a blessing . . . thank you!
I'm not sure how the photos ended up looking more 3D, but I'm glad they did!
Yes, repeats of the kids will be fairly easy and quick to do which is what I was hoping for. And then designing new kits won't be terribly time intensive either as all of the ground work is finished . . . the design of the thread card, needle books, the instruction booklet, etc.
That would be a wonderful verse for a cross-stitch design! I will definitely keep that in mind for a future one. :) Thank you for mentioning it! - April 01, 2013

Hey there Newgrounds, it sure has been a while since I uploaded anything substantial.
This is the tale of a young child and his imagination, based on the characters Allen and Merve created by my friend Jim Hort around 5 or 6 years ago when we were both in High School. I always liked the characters and wanted to tell some sort of origin story for the pair. Any meaning deeper then that you can decide for yourself.
This film was started over 2 years ago, first as a music video for a band, then after that fell apart it very much became its own thing. During the production of this film I have changed home 3 times, jobs twice, and god knows what other madness. I never want to take this long to complete anything ever again.
Heres hoping this film gets my butt back into gear and back on track with my film making.
Edit: Thanks for the front page Tom and Company <3
Rated 5 / 5 stars
The amazing sound track (I love chiptunes!) and visuals plus the storyline gave me goosebumps, in a good way. <3
Ive got goosebumps because im cold right now :(
Rated 5 / 5 stars
First, I have to say the music was just fucking dope. It was like a chaotic blend of old school Duke Nukem sound effects, and I mean that in the best way possible. Not the sort of music I would normally enjoy, but this track was infectious, unpredictable, insane and awesome, and it really made the flash enjoyable.
Second, the art was just off the hook. I love the use of colors, and all of the little details - the fog on the telescope lens was a particularly nice touch, given how cartoony and bizarre the rest of this animated world was - it's a great looking piece with a unique art style.
Loved every second of it. I hope you're proud of this piece. You should be!
I don't know if I am more proud then I am relieved, hard to say really. All in all it was an enjoyable experience for the most part and I look forward to starting something new.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
That was innocent and entertaining, just like watching a cartoon. I really liked it.
I've always thought that everyone should always carry at least a little of their inner child, to enjoy the simple things in life. I'm glad to see that others think so too. 10/10, because I can keep making like a plane when nobody is watching.
I still make sound effects out of the side of my mouth while im working at me compy on explosions and things.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
If your mom's a bitch and you look like MC Donal's, you should go become friends with a zombie...
Sure, why not.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
i didn't quite get the ending
Apparently a film with a nonsensical ending is still worthy of a 10.

Ghana to establish Trade Centre in Lome next year

Ghana would establish a Trade Centre in Lome next year to facilitate annual exhibition of made in Ghana goods and to showcase the products to neighbouring French-speaking African countries.
In view of this, the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) together with the Togo Chamber of Commerce and Industry are expected to collaborate to establish permanent structures to facilitate a one-stop shop for Ghanaian products.
Mr John Maxwell Kwadjo, Ghana Ambassador to Togo announced on Friday at the Ghana Day Business and Investment Forum, organised as part of the on-going 10th Togo International Fair held in the country's capital city, Lome.
He observed that the fair was critical for regional integration stressing that it provided the platform for entrepreneurs in the sub-region to showcase their products and services as well as to encourage intra-community trade relations.
Mr Kwadjo said "apart from fostering large scale capital investments and enhancing economic efficiency, intra-regional trade provides a useful platform for improving competitiveness of national enterprises before exposing them to global competition".
He expressed optimism that the exhibitors would contribute towards showcasing Ghana's economic potentials, investment opportunities, strengthen institutional relations and promote the country's cultural and tourism attractions to the participating countries.
Mr Kwadjo expressed gratitude to the Togolese government for the support and for setting the day aside to honour Ghana as their major cherished trade partner.
The Ghana Day and Investment Forum is to explore trade and investment opportunities between the two countries.
There were other presentations made by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, the Export Development and Agricultural Investment Fund, Ghana Export Promotion Authority and the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Ghana, which is one of the 10 African and Latin American countries participating in the fair, is represented by 31 exhibitors.
Mr Stephen K. Normeshie, Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) said that Togo had become Ghana's biggest export market for Non-Traditional Exports (NTEs) in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) sub-region.
He added that revenue generated in 2011 for NTEs to Togo alone was about 180 million dollars.
The NTEs included palm oil, soap, aluminium, plastic products, creams and other medicinal goods.
The fair, which began on November 23, has drawn thousands of visitors to the exhibition grounds including Mrs Bernadette Essossinma Legzim-Balouki, Togolese Minister of Trade and the Promotion of the Private Sector.
She observed that trade relations between Togo and Ghana "had grown from strength to strength".
She urged the exhibitors to engage their Togolese counterparts to establish good contacts for their businesses.
Ghanas participation in the fair will officially end on December 4, to enable the exhibitors to return home to exercise their franchise in the December 7 general election.

Two former legislators -- R K Rana and Dhruv Bhagat -- were sentenced to five years imprisonment Monday in a fodder scam case by a special Central Bureau of Investigation court in Ranchi.
Two former officials -- Om Prakash Diwakar and Ajit Kumar Sinha -- of animal husbandry department were also sentenced to six years imprisonment in the same case.
Six other treasury department officials and one fodder supplier were also sentenced to jail terms by the special CBI court in this case.
The court of special CBI judge Sitaram Prasad had convicted them on May 31. It imposed a fine of Rs 2 lakh on each of Rana, Bhagat, Diwakar and Sinha and on default they should undergo a further three months imprisonment.
Bhagat was a Bharatiya Janata Party MLA and the then chairman of Public Accounts Committee of undivided Bihar during Rashtriya Janata Dal regime and Rana was an MLA of RJD and went on to become an RJD MP from Bihar.
The two ex-officials are former Regional Director (Animal Husbandry Department) Om Prakash Diwakar and ex-Mobile Veterinary officer Ajit Kumar Sinha.
The treasury department officials who were sentenced include Rakesh Kumar Sinha (ex-treasury officer), B B Prasad (ex-accountant) and Rajesh Kumar Sinha (fodder supplier). They were also sentenced to five years imprisonment.
Other officials Balkrishna Dubey (ex-treasury accountant), Bhanu K Dubey (ex-treasury-assistant) and Naresh Prasad Sinha (fodder supplier) were given four years jail terms.
The case, RC33A/96, was registered in connection with fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 37 lakh from Godda treasury between November 1995 and January 1996 against a budget of only Rs 1 lakh for that fiscal.

The Karmasphere DP language is a high-performance non-blocking parallel language for performing data processing. It is designed to give the user a high degree of control over the usage of system resources, such as how many CPU cores or how much disk I/O time to use, without requiring the software developer to explicitly consider these issues in code.

Resonant tunneling effects on cavity-embedded metal film caused by surface-plasmon excitation
Optics Letters, Vol. 34, Issue 1, pp. 25-27 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (243 KB)
We investigate cavity-modulated resonant tunneling through a silver film with periodic grooves on both surfaces. A strip cavity embedded in the film affects tunneling frequencies via a coupling mode and waveguide mode. In the coupling mode, both the resonant tunneling through the gap between the groove and the cavity and the cavity itself form an entire resonant structure. In the waveguide mode, however, the cavity functions as a surface-plasmon waveguide. Hence, tunneling frequencies are close to resonant absorption frequencies of the groove structure and are irrelevant to cavity properties.

Hobbies: Dancing, writing,singing, hanging out with friends, listening to music
Who's your favorite professor or class? Any and every class with Literature Professor Sharon Hickson. She is so passionate and brilliant—one takes away so much from her class.
What extra-curricular activities do you participate in? I have been a part of the Swing and Ballroom Dance Clubs and the Choir. Several times I have also helped backstage with the Christendom Players and I was thrilled to participate.
What is your favorite thing about Christendom? The great number of talented artists here—actresses, musicians, writers, dancers, jugglers, etc. Like anyone, I was very pleased to find so many people with the same interests as myself.
Why did you choose Christendom? Christendom is place where I can be certain that the Truth is taught and of all the Catholic colleges I looked into, Christendom had the most well-rounded curriculum.
What surprises you the most about Christendom? The people.
What are your plans after graduation? I am planning to earn a B.F.A. in Dance at Shenandoah Conservatory.
Any parting words of advice for a prospective student? Visit Christendom College during the school year, and see what it is really like.
Historian Dr. Emmet Kennedy delivered a lecture entitled "The Survival of a Non-Juror: the Abbé Sicard and the Founding of the National Institute of Deaf-Mutes during the Reign of Terror" to the students and faculty of Christendom College on March 12. The lecture was part of the college's Faith & Reason Lecture Series.
Kennedy's lecture examined the life of Roch-Ambroise Sicard, a priest who educated the deaf and mute during the Reign of Terror. Sicard avoided execution twice during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution. Kennedy examined whether Sicard was a "girouette," that is, a turncoat who changed with every regime and tailored himself to meet the new requirements.

A special library event educating students and faculty on autism took place on Tuesday evening, March 13. Christendom alumna, Krystle Curley, an in-home autism specialist for the Matthews Center, gave a presentation on autism and how it affects both those diagnosed with it and those around them.
"I have heard a lot about autism in the news recently, but I have never known much about it," says Sophomore Maeve Gallagher. "I went to the library event to find out more information, because it is so prevalent in today's world, and I learned so much and have a newfound respect for those with autism. I encourage everyone to educate themselves on the subject."
The 2010 film "Temple Grandin," starring Claire Danes, was shown, which told the incredible true story of a girl with autism who used her condition to her advantage to completely transform the U.S. humane livestock handling industry and give autism a voice. Following the film, Curley held a question-and-answer session, in which she cleared up any confusion or concerns.
On Saturday night, the St. Lawrence Commons was transformed into a sea of green as students, faculty, and their families all showed up for the annual St. Patrick's Day festivities.
The evening began with a tradition Irish dinner, including scones, corned beef and potatoes and carrots, cooked by Chef Dennis and his amazing staff. Following dinner, the festivities began. The "Clansmen" led by College President Dr. Timothy O'Donnell, led the community in several Irish songs to kick off the evening. Afterwards, the rest of the show began, which included Irish dancing, singing, and other Irish music. The "Senior Dance Team" performed a show-stopping piece, choreographed by Senior Katie Francis.
A great time was had by all, and the evening was a great way to relax and prepare for the exciting weekend.
College Chaplain Fr. Donald Planty is joined by St. Patrick, St. Brigid, and St. Columcille as he opens the evening's festivities with St. Patrick's Lorica.
The Clansmen are joined by the Hibernian Guard for the singing of "The Pibroch."
Senior Joe Long on the bouzouki.
Dr. John Cuddeback sang "The Broom of the Cowdenknowes."
Freshman Rosemary Hedge, Sophomore Aislinn Gibson, Freshman Rebecca Willen, and Sophomore Monica Davis perform "The Blood of Cuchulainn."
Theology Professor Raymund O'Herron sang "Four Green Fields."
Local Irish dancing troupe "The O'Kielty Dancers" put on a great show.
The senior dancers brought the house down with their electrifying performance.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, Papal Nuncio to the United States, visited Christendom College on March 18. His first visit to the campus of a Catholic college, the archbishop celebrated Mass for the students and faculty and then joined them for brunch.
Pope Benedict XVI named Archbishop Viganò to be the nuncio to the United States in October of last year. His previous position was the secretary-general of the commission governing Vatican City.
"This morning, it is my particular joy, as a personal representative of his holiness Pope Benedict XVI, to celebrate holy Mass with you, my brothers and sisters of Christendom College," Archbishop Viganò said during his homily.
"As you make your spiritual journey towards Easter, take time to thank almighty God for the gift of the present moment—the gift of these days that you spend at Christendom College, where you have been given a unique chance to choose to live by the truth, by embracing the fullness of the light of the Faith," he said.
Read more about this event here. The Nuncio's homily can be heard at Christendom on iTunes.
The Archbishop chats with College President Timothy O'Donnell, his wife Cathy, College Chaplain Fr. Donald Planty , and students.
On Sunday night, Christendom College's new Dorm Wars, a campus-wide Olympic-style series of competitions among dorms, started off with excitement in the St. Lawrence Commons.
There are 13 teams competing, each consisting of a section of girls' dorms paired with a section of guys' dorms. These teams will spend the next few weeks competing in events ranging from bake-offs, to athletic events, to singing and swing-dancing events.
On Sunday night, all teams processed into the Commons behind their team's flag and team captain. The team captains presented their flags and explained their significance before a panel of judges. "The Incorruptibles" came out victorious due to their artistic and creative flag. A rousing speech competition followed, whereby one person from each team gave a speech to incite their team to victory, and Sophomore Brendan Vieira of "The Beached Whales" wowed the crowd with his speech and took first place.
"It was encouraging to see that everyone was taking these Dorm Wars seriously," says Sophomore Ben Scrivener. "Every team's flag had a purpose and meaning, and every speech had passion and substance. It's a great thing to see the Christendom community come together for Dorm Wars and put both individual and team talent to the test. I think that Dorm Wars will be a great addition to campus life this semester, as well as for years to come."
Brendan Vieira delivers his winning speech.

On Monday, the feast day of St. Joseph was joyously celebrated by Christendom students, faculty, and their families. The evening began with Solemn Vespers, followed by a procession of the statue of St. Joseph into the St. Lawrence Commons and a blessing of the bread by Assistant Chaplain, Fr. Joseph Fox.
"It was really exciting to have the opportunity to come together on the feast of St. Joseph in a truly Italian way—over lots of food—and celebrate the saint we love so much," says Junior Sara Federico, who organized the festivities. "Especially in a time where the family is being so attacked, I think it is really important to honor this great example of purity and fatherhood. Everyone had a great time and I feel blessed to have been a part of it."
The Christendom community enjoyed a large and delicious Italian meal, complete with pasta, cannoli, Italian ice, and an assortment of breads.

Golden Opportunities
It's been a very busy few weeks! We have started our classes, and we had a week of many guests of honor. President Dr. O'Donnell and Mrs. O'Donnell as well as Christendom's chaplain, Fr. Planty, and Director of Student Activities & Rome Program Preparation Caitlin Bowers, visited bringing opportunities and Roman street knowledge.
Dr. O'Donnell, who studied for many years in Rome, gave us a phenomenal tour of St. Peter's Square and Basilica, bringing the rich architectural and artistic history of the basilica alive with thorough explanations of every chapel and statue. As James Munson, one of the other students here in Rome put it, "Surrounded by the tombs of popes, we traveled back in time and walked in the footsteps of our Church, our faith." On that day, the principle relics of St. Peter's basilica were on display and we received a special blessing with the relic of the lance with which St. Longinus stabbed Christ in the heart.
Our chaplain, Fr. Planty also lived in Rome as a student, and arranged many special privileges for us, and showed us his favorite cafés and restaurants. He brought us to Chiesa Nuova that was built by St. Philip Neri and took us on a tour of the rooms in which the saint lived. Father also gave us a tour of the Gesu, the headquarters for the Jesuits, and celebrated Mass for us in the room where St. Ignatius of Loyola died.
Father Planty also arranged for us to meet the Secretary of State of the Holy See and we had an exclusive tour of the Papal Palace. We walked down the hallway just around the corner from the Pope's apartment and met in the Pope's library. Afterwards, we enjoyed a private nighttime view of St. Peter's square and basilica, and the city of Rome.
We had the honor of having lunch with Cardinal Arinze, and we had the opportunity to ask him questions on contemporary theological matters. Before heading back to the States, we had the pleasure of an evening at Scholar's Lounge soaking in the traditional Irish culture with Dr. and Mrs. O'Donnell.
We were so blessed to obtain front row seats to one of Pope Benedict's Wednesday audiences. When Christendom College was announced to the Pope, we all cheered, "Amamus te! ("We love you" in Latin) and "Viva il Papa!" ("Long Live the Pope" in Italian) proudly waving our Christendom banners. Pope Benedict XVI looked right at us, waved, and smiled.
The owner of our hotel, who has an affinity for Christendom College, threw us a big party where we were able to socialize and mingle with Swiss Guards. We talked to them and were able to get a glimpse of what it is like to serve the Pope in such proximity, and what their day-to-day life is like.
We continue to see mind-blowing physical pieces of history such as the excommunication document of Martin Luther or the letter that King Henry VIII sent to the Pope asking for his annulment. We walk in the ancient streets of the Roman Forum, and see the sand in the Coliseum that the blood of martyrs has sanctified, continuing our pilgrimage to walk in their footsteps and follow their example.

The Christendom College baseball team took the field in their season home opener this past Tuesday against the Defenders of Baptist Bible on one of the many beautiful days that Virginia has been having.
"The weather has been a huge blessing and the team has really dedicated themselves to getting out on the field and hitting and the cage," says Head Coach John Mercandetti, Sr. "Hopefully, it will pay off."
The last few years the Crusaders have struggled to muster up runs with their offense, but in the first game on Tuesday that all changed. The Crusaders had three extra base hits in the first three innings and jumped out to a 2-0 lead against the Defenders. Charlie Rollino and David McWhirter both doubled in the second inning to score runs. Senior Patrick Stein took the hill for the Crusaders and would go the distance for the team. Despite taking the early 3-1 lead the Crusaders gave up a couple of big scoring innings to the Defenders and lost the first game of the doubleheader by a score of 4-7.
In the second game, with Junior Nicholas Blank on the mound, again the Crusaders would jump out into an early lead and never look back as they defeated the Defenders 13-7.
This past Saturday the baseball team traveled to Williamson Free School in Media, PA. The Mechanics have historically owned the Crusaders having beaten us each time in the last five years. However, with the bats ablaze, the Crusaders jumped on the Mechanics early and surprised them by taking a commanding lead in the first game. A lead the Crusaders would not give up!
Behind another solid pitching performance from Pat Stein and consistent hitting all around, the Crusaders earned their first victory over the Mechanincs by a final score of 11-7. In the second game, the Mechanics would get revenge as they would muster six runs against the Crusaders and hold Christendom to just four.
Currently the baseball team sits at 2-2 and the team's best start in recent memory. The Crusaders are back in action on Saturday as they host Philadelphia Biblical for a doubleheader at Bing Crosby Stadium beginning at 12 noon.
The Rugby team has also started off on a solid note anxious to defend their winning season last year.
The Crusader Ruggers defeated Division III Catholic University this past Saturday in a hard fought match. With a large contingent of fan support, the team put everything they had into a grueling match. The Crusaders made multiple goal-line stands, which in the end was the difference in the game. The win notches the teams second win of the season, the other being against American University.
The wins against both of these huge universities in comparison (CUA having over 7,000 total students, 3,633 undergraduates and American University with over 10,000 total students and 6,600 undergraduate) speaks volumes to how far the Rugby program has come in the last five years. Their dedication and hard work has definitely paid off in these last two monumental wins. The team looks to continue their winning ways as they head to Hampden Sydney this Saturday for a round robin tournament, which will include three matches.
Congratulations to both teams!
Senior Pat Stein pitched excellent games.
Junior Matt Naham sends the ball flying.
Freshman Bobby Crnkovich flies down the field for one of the biggest scores of the game.
Freshman Larry Urgo is unstoppable.
Q. I have found your office to be very accommodating, efficient, and in short, quite a joy to deal with. I have been in contact with numerous other colleges and universities and have received the proverbial "run-around" so many times. I just wanted to commend your office for seemingly always being on top of things. Can you tell me a little bit about who works for you and what they do? Keep up the good work!
A. Thanks for the compliment! We do our best to be as efficient as possible, although we certainly can improve, as we try to each year.
As you know, I am the Director of Admissions and Marketing. I have been in this position since 2004 and am responsible for all aspects of recruitment, advertising, public relations, marketing, and admissions, and as of last year, I am also responsible for alumni relations. I attended Christendom back in the early days of the College from 1986-1990, earning my BA in Theology, and then I earned my MA in Theological Studies from our Graduate School in 1998.
The Associate Director of Admissions is Eve Owen, who has worked in my office for a number of years, first as a student caller, then as an Admissions Counselor, and, now, as Associate Director. Eve is responsible for traveling around the country, visiting high schools, homeschool groups, parishes, and other groups of people who might be interested in hearing about Christendom. She represents us at various conferences, college fairs, and other events. She organizes all of our Family Visit Days/Open House Events, and works with high school guidance counselors and youth ministers to help students determine if Christendom is a for them. Eve, originally from Oregon, graduated with a BA in History from Christendom in 2010, after having served as the Student Body President. Sadly, she will be leaving my office this spring to pursue bigger and better things (i.e. marriage
). We wish her, and her husband-to-be, Paul, all the best.Katie Gutschke, from New Jersey, is an Admissions Counselor who has been working in my office since last summer. Although working full-time, she is also completing her degree in History and should graduate in spring 2013. She is responsible for processing all of the many applications to our undergraduate program and she will be running our summer programs for high school students this year. As a former summer program participant, Katie will do a tremendous job of making sure that the Experience Christendom Summer Programs go off without a hitch and give the participants the best experience they can have.
Liz Twaddle is an Admissions Counselor who graduated with a BA in History in 2011. She is responsible for answering the phones, responding to emails, sending out informational packets, giving campus tours, and arranging campus visits for prospective high school students. Originally from California, Liz is excited to begin her second year in the office and looks forward to speaking with you in the future!
And beyond those who work day in and day out for my office, we have a number of other people who do a lot to make our efforts successful.
Emi Funai (junior) and Rebecca Deucher (sophomore) are responsible for making follow-up calls to students who have requested information. They work a couple of nights a week throughout the academic year as part of their on-campus employment. Additionally, all of our many Student Ambassadors and Tour Leaders who have volunteered their time to help show visiting students what life at Christendom is like are indispensable and I am very grateful for their help.
Well, that's the whole gang. Again, I thank you for your kind words about our efficiency and I look forward to being of service to you in the future. Compliments and complaints are always welcome.
Director of Admissions
800.877.5456 ext. 1290
If anyone has questions about applying, visiting, scholarships, financial aid, campus life, rules and regulations, majors, core curriculum, transfer credits, or even about the food here at Christendom, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.

Sun-based lighting in space maps broken
Placeable suns no longer act as light sources. No matter what I do, none of the color or location settings effect any visible change to map lighting during test play. Suns effectively now behave only as visible geometry, not light sources. In addition there is a single geometry-less, unmodifiable light source on all space maps at 0 elevation, -130 azimuth, which did not exist prior to S7.
No matter what I do, only the light from this hidden "sun" effects any objects/characters in scene, and since it doesn't show up in the solar system background tab, it cannot be modified or deleted. I no longer have any control over the lighting in space maps beyond the special effects sky layers. |
