Beyond the Waters
White Lake State Park. For many this name manifests memories spanning generations. For them, the lucid waters and expansive skyline beyond them have never not been part and parcel of their lives. But for me, nothing could be more novel; arriving here from southern New Hampshire, I had no idea what to expect. Here are the sights that have welcomed me:
This particular morning I led an activity called Lake Life. Children and their parents gathered for an hour of exploration and discovery:
During my free time, I take the opportunity to digest the local culture, which includes free summer concerts like this one in Tamworth:
As night falls, new characters arrive. The Night Watch at White Lake State Park are a professional bunch, and friendly to boot. They help preserve the calm, wilderness atmosphere at the park for all visitors. They've done a lot to make me feel at home and welcome at White Lake State Park.
And of course, with the nightfall comes the changing of another guard: the watch of the sun is replaced by the vigilance of the moon and stars.
The following morning, familiar faces greeted me at my house as my old chums from SCA New Hampshire Corps showed up for their first project of many this month:
These are just a few of the sights, sounds, and people who continue to define my experience at White Lake State Park. I may not have the generations of tradition here, like so many others, but I am beginning to sense why people come back here year after year: it isn't the lake so much as what lies beyond the waters.

Yglesias makes the case:
In many ways, the Chipotle burrito is very similar to the iPhone. Founder Steve Ells invented a way to maintain the basic speed and experience of the standard fast-food experience and make the quality of the food a little better. The better food costs a bit more money, but consumers turn out to be happy to pay a premium for a superior product. A similar insight is behind privately held Five Guys, a burger-oriented fast-food concept that's also grown rapidly over the past several years. At the other end of the health spectrum there's Chop't, the assembly-line salad chain that's taken New York and D.C. by storm but hasn't yet gone national. All three chains are, in their different ways, raising the bar for food quality in a quick-service setting.

John Harrigan: Time to do what's right for the loon's haunting call in the night
I've heard from all sides on the issue of lead jigs and lures versus their effects on loons, and have been asked to write about it because a defining bill is before the House, and will come up in the ensuing week. This action should not be tabled or sent to committee, where so many bills are sent to die.
Right from the start, let me say (once again) that I'm no expert. I fish with flies. Maybe that puts me on The Dark Side, in the enemies' camp. But in the long ago, I fished with worms, for warm-water fish.
When I was a teen working at hunting and fishing camps, I was taught to shoot loons, which I did, on the premise that loons competed with paying customers who came north to catch (and hardly ever release) fish.
I did this with a 30-ought-6, aiming low, so the bullet would skip and hit the loon, which to my teenager's stupid eyes looked like a battleship, an errant competitor for the camps' livelihood. I shot kingfishers, too, with a side-by-side shotgun. Today, watching these beautiful birds fish for their livelihood, I can't imagine pulling the trigger (mea culpa, whipping myself on the back here).
Back then, a trip's rental for cabins on one whale of a good trout pond was calculated by the number of fish caught, killed and, perhaps by a stretch, on how many fish were eaten for breakfast. On this last, in the keep-kill-release discussion, one of my channel-markers is Ginger Jannenga, she of sled-dog fame, who admonishes me whenever I advocate catch and release. She loves trout, as I do when I catch them and keep them to be rolled in flour and placed in a cast-iron fry-pan for the morning's sustenance. Ginger is a devotee of wilderness travelers who would no more release a captured bit of food (say, a trout) than they would sacrifice their dogs to a bear.
On the subject of loons and lead, my take is to go with protecting the resource. I've been fortunate to hang out with people who love loons (me too), and this in no way is a guilt-trip for having shot them in my youth. That was back then, nothing to do with the here and now.
I've heard all the arguments pro and con regarding jigs. I'm sick and tired of the whining about having to chuck lead-laden jigs and buy new tackle. Come on, now.
I'm thinking here of when a lot of duck hunters had to shelve lead in favor of steel. And even further back, when we had to stop thinking about a line of demarcation for hunting seasons north and south, which was replaced by 13-something hunting zones that help Fish and Game (and hunters) do what's right for the resource. And then there was the time when, with Bandy Siegler's leadership, hunters and writers (that would be me) teamed up to get rid of the bobcat bounty.
Yes, I'm a cold-water fly-fisherman, and yes, I've caught smallmouth bass in that nice little rip at the foot of Garvin's Falls.
Time to step up, I think, and get rid of the old and the bad, and do what's right for the resource, which is what that loon's call in the evening air is all about.

16 September 2010|
14 September 2010
Reverend and Dear Monsignors and Fathers,
We just received the sad news that Archbishop Francis M. Zayek passed away today, September 14, 2010, in Lebanon.
Archbishop Zayek was born on October 18, 1920, the son of Mansour and Mariam (Khoury) Zayek in Manzanillo, Cuba. In 1931, the family immigrated to Lebanon.
After seminary studies in Lebanon and in Rome, he was ordained a priest in Rome on March 17, 1946. After completing a doctorate in canon law in Rome, he was appointed to serve the Maronite community in Cairo where he also worked in the Apostolic Nunciature. He later returned to Rome and served as the Promoter of Justice at the Roman Rota.
On May 31, 1962, Pope John XXIII appointed him to serve the Maronites in Brazil, and he was consecrated a bishop on August 5, 1962 in Dimane, Lebanon, by Patriarch Paul Peter Meouchi.
Archbishop Zayek was one of the last surviving bishops who attended all of the all sessions of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) as a bishop.
On January 10, 1966, Pope Paul VI established the Maronite Apostolic Exarchate in the United States and appointed Bishop Zayek as the first Exarch. He was installed on June 11, 1966 in Detroit, MI, where he was to establish his See.
Pope Paul VI raised the Exarchate to the rank of Diocese or Eparchy on November 20, 1971, and he appointed Bishop Zayek as the first bishop of the Diocese of Saint Maron, for all Maronites of the United States. He was installed as such on June 4, 1972. (The See was moved to Brooklyn, NY, in 1977.)
In recognition of his pioneering work in the United States, he was given the personal title of Archbishop by Pope John Paul II on December 10, 1982.
Upon reaching the canonical age, Archbishop Zayek retired in 1996.
Archbishop Zayek was predeceased by two brothers and three sisters. He is survived by his brother, Elias, in Brazil, and his sister, Lydia, in Lebanon, and several nieces and nephews.
A Forty Day Divine Liturgy is scheduled for Wednesday, October 27, 2010, at Our Lady of Lebanon Cathedral, 109 Remsen Street, Brooklyn, NY, at 7:00 p.m. A Meal of Mercy will follow in the Cathedral hall. All clergy, religious and laity are invited to attend to pay tribute to this true Churchman and to pray for the repose of his soul.
The Maronite Church in the United States is deeply indebted to this great man for his zealous efforts in establishing the strong, vibrant Maronite community we have today. May Archbishop Zayek share in the glory of the Cross which we celebrate this day!
We extend our profound condolences to the family of Archbishop Zayek, and to all who loved him, and assure them of our prayers. May he rest in peace.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Chorbishop Michael G. Thomas,
Vicar General

WALLA WALLA — A $27,000 plan to hire a firm to recruit a new human resources director failed to pass Council by a vote of 3-3.
At Wednesday's Council meeting, City Manager Nabiel Shawa reported that he is currently looking to replace the human resources position that was previously held by Jennifer Seekamp, who recently took a position in the Portland area.
Shawa said the recruiting and hiring period was estimated at four months, during which time the city would save $34,281 because it would not be paying salary and benefits for its human resources director.
Shawa went on to state that the savings could be used to pay the $27,000 recruiting fee by Bob Murray & Associates and leave the city with a balance of $7,281.
Shawa also noted that the city's current lack of a human resources director adds to the need to outsource recruitment, as that department is currently understaffed without a director.
Council members Mary Lou Jenkins, Shane Laib and Chris Plucker voted against hiring the recruiting firm, while Mayor Jim Barrow and Council members Barbara Clark and Jerry Cummins were in favor of the expense.
"One of the important factors of the quality of life here in Walla Walla is the quality of employees," Clark said. "In this case we have the funding to pay for this without taking out a loan or going out of pocket. I think this is something that makes sense to do."
"I don't feel like we need a consultant to help us do this," Plucker objected. "I know this is going to create a little more work, but I don't think it is worth it, and it will look like another wasted $27,000."

Given that the Church of Scotland, like all major Christian denominations, conducts a good chunk of its internal business in public these days (with the boundary between what is 'internal' and what is 'external' increasingly stretched), media and communications can no longer be thought of - if it ever could - as a specialist function alone.
The World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) has worked with its partners to mark World Radio Day, 13 February, as tool for public engagement.
Climate change in Asia is falling hardest on poor and indigenous communities and Christian communicators are making "climate justice" a key priority.
The media isn't someone or something else, it's also us, says Simon Barrow. He goes on to examine the challenge of truthful communication in a PR-driven world, and to offer a picture of what authentically Christian communication might look like.
Is an online alternate life for real, and how does it relate to the life of faith? Religious communicators plan to discuss and explore the latest web phenomenon at a gathering in Chicago next year.
The Methodist Church in Great Britain has re-launched its website with the aim of linking becoming more interactive and cyber-oriented in the twenty-first century.

|Crawdads Blank Intimidators, 6-0

|Sunday, 06 May 2012 08:12
Jerad Eickhoff Shawn Blackwell combined on a six-hit shutout as the Hickory Crawdads defeated Kannapolis 6-0, at CMC-Northeast Stadium in Kannapolis on Saturday night. Eickhoff (4-2) baffled the Intimidators (12-16) through the first seven innings, striking out seven batters and scattering only five hits. Blackwell, making his Crawdads debut, closed the game
with two scoreless innings, striking out three batters. The Crawdads (17-11) gave Eickhoff and Blackwell all the runs they needed in the top of the sixth inning as they scored four times against losing pitcher Blair Walters of the Intimidators. Walters (0-2) coughed up four runs on seven hits after he handcuffed the Crawdads through the first five innings. Luis Sardinas started the inning as he reached on a throwing error. Hanser Alberto promptly drove Sardinas with an RBI double just inside the left-field line with the first run of the game. Rougned Odor reached on a single one out later before Zach Cone launched a three-run shot over the left-field fence for a 4-0 lead.

Space tourist Dennis Tito seeks married couple for spin around Mars
- From: AP
- February 28, 2013
A MARRIED couple could be on their way toward Mars in an audacious private mission backed by a multimillionaire space tourist.
The voyage would be a cosmic no-frills flight that would take the husband-and-wife astronauts as close as 160 kilometres to Mars, but it would also mean being cooped up for 16 months in a cramped space capsule about half the size of an RV.
The private nonprofit plan called Inspiration Mars aims to capitalise on the once-in-a-generation close approach of the two planets' orbits. NASA will not be involved.
Instead, the project's backers intend to use a private rocket and space capsule and some kind of habitat that might be inflatable, employing an austere design that could take people to Mars for a fraction of what it would cost NASA to do with robots, officials said.

If I was going to spend all that time in space getting to the planet, just for a flyby - id want to land on Mars and check it out, not just turn around and fly back home. As great as the view would be, 16months in cramped conditions drinking your own whizz with your other half would almost be murderous!

Instead of wasting money like this on a pointless mission that does nothing but be inspirational, why not invest the money into better propulsion? I'm sure with the right gear we are able to reach speeds faster than one of the Voyager probe's 70k mph (kph?). 1/1800 C. This is a 46 day or so one way trip. A little bit more meaningful.

June is National GLBTQ PRIDE month and my next couple of posts will respond to art events sponsored by the National Queer Arts Festival. Despite being late in the month, I hope these posts generate some discussion about the notion of queer arts and PRIDE month, more generally.
Last week I joined a sold-out, yet intimate gathering of people at The Garage for the film screening, Across Queer Time. Curated by artist, Jason Hanasik, Across Queer Time was part of the 12th Annual National Queer Arts Festival and featured thirteen artists including Rudy Lemcke, Curt McDowell, Marc Adelman, Tammy Rae Carland, Jesse Finely Reed, Barbara Hammer, Kristina Willemse, Tina Takemoto, Jennifer Parker, Cheryl Dunye, Julian Vargas, Margaret Tedesco, and Killer Banshee. Hanasik introduced the films describing them as oscillating around tension—fantasy, the world in which we wish we existed, and nightmare (which is, perhaps, part of our reality, as well). Indeed, the films cascaded through themes of... More

Lucasfilm and CBS' hit comedy The Big Bang Theory have teamed up to produce a special Star Wars Day themed episode.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, who first learned of the news, the episode will air on May 1 and is titled "The Proton Transmogrification."
The episode will tie in with Star Wars Day, which is celebrated by fans of the movie series on May 4. In the episode, the cast will celebrate the holiday with Bob Newhart reprising his character of Professor Proton who appears in Sheldon's visions.
The episode will feature a recreation of Dagobah thanks to some Industrial Light + Magic technicians and special effects. Production of the set was watched over by experts from Lucasfilm.
Co-creator Chuck Lorre said, "We were approached by the Lucasfilm people to do something to celebrate Star Wars Day, which was nice."
Showrunner Steve Molaro said the actual idea to recreate Dagobah was from the writers on Big Bang and not Lucasfilm. "This was all from us."
In March, CBS pulled a rare move and renewed the half-hour comedy for another three seasons, instead of the usual one.
The current season of Big Bang has averaged about 19.79 million viewers and new episodes easily top all other competition on Thursday nights.

Growth in Power Demand
Georgia's population has grown steadily over the past several decades. Between 1970 and the present, the state grew from 4.6 million residents to just under 10 million people today.
The impacts of Georgia's historically strong growth have been felt in areas such as housing, schools and transportation systems. But one of the biggest impacts has been on the electrical supply system. More people, combined with more household devices such as large screen TVs and computers, has meant higher demand for electricity.
This is especially true for many of the 38 Electric Membership Corporations (EMCs) served by Oglethorpe Power, which provide retail electric service in suburban or exurban areas where much of the fastest growth has taken place.
In terms of customer demand for power, the Member Systems still comprise the fastest growing segment of the state's utility industry.

The mission of Chinquapin Preparatory School is to provide a high quality college-preparatory education to able and motivated youth from low-income families in the Greater Houston area. Through its rigorous curriculum and an emphasis on community service and earning what one receives, Chinquapin Prep aims to produce responsible, well-educated citizens who will become constructive leaders in the community.
Bob and Maxine Moore founded The Chinquapin School in 1969. Bob Moore was head of the English Department at St. John's School in Houston before starting Chinquapin, which was incorporated in March of 1969.
25 miles east of downtown Houston, just north of I-10, in Highlands, Texas.
All students are on scholarship, but we charge a small tuition of $40 to $200 per month, based on family income. Close to 80% of our students pay $50 or less. Those unable to pay the minimum tuition work additional hours apart from their daily chore-time requirement.
Operating budget for 2012-2013 is $2,115,800 (approximately $13,900 per student, which includes room and board for 7th - 12th grade males, transportation, and pro-rated operating costs).
Budgeted funding sources are: 63.8% from private donations and events, 16.8% from endowment, 13.6% from designated funds, 3.1% from tuition, 2.3% from the School Hot Lunch program (our only government aid), 0.4% from interest and dividends, and 0.1% from miscellaneous sources.
The 2012-2013 school year will begin with 156 students (73 boys, 83 girls) in the 6th through 12th grades. The ethnic makeup of the student body is approximately 82% Hispanic, 10% African American, 3.87% White and 4% Asian. The 7th-12th grade boys live on campus Monday through Friday; the girls and 6th grade boys are bussed to and from the campus daily.
For over 40 years, our students have lived by the motto, Quid pro Quo, or "Something for Something." As a testament to that motto, all students work to maintain the campus during a daily chore period and participate in various community service activities. The school employs only one full-time maintenance man and no janitors.
451 students have graduated from Chinquapin Prep in 38 graduating classes, the first in 1975.
- 95% of our graduates have attended college in the last 29 years (1984-2013)
- 85% of our alumni have graduated from college or are on target to graduate
- 17 are currently in the Armed Forces
Our alumni have attended the following colleges and universities:
Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford, Columbia, Rice, Notre Dame, Duke, Middlebury, Bryn Mawr, Smith, Pomona, Purdue, Northwestern, Howard, Occidental, St. Thomas, Drake, Colorado College, Evergreen State, University of Texas, University of Houston, Trinity, Texas A&M, Santa Clara, Sam Houston, Southwestern, St. Edward's, Texas Tech, St. Mary's, University of Wisconsin, Texas Christian, Texas Southern, Our Lady of the Lake, Northland College, Prairie View A&M, Reed, Bowdoin, Knox, Morehouse, Bethany, Hendrix, Drexel University, University of Texas at Dallas and University of Texas at San Antonio
Recruiting Process
Meetings for prospective students and their parents are held in winter on the Chinquapin campus. All students are required to complete an application and register for SSAT testing. Three testing sessions are held at Chinquapin during the winter and spring. Other locations are available throughout the Houston area. We introduce candidates to the school, administer short tests in reading, writing and mathematics, and interview each prospect. Selected students will also have the option of shadowing a current student for a day. Some students will be offered early enrollment by March. Other students are chosen to attend a one-week summer "try out" session at the school. From the summer group, the students who are best qualified are invited to attend Chinquapin Prep in the fall.
Chinquapin Preparatory School is accredited by the Texas Association of Accredited Private Schools (TAAPS). TAAPS is a member of the Texas Private Accreditation Commission (TEPSAC), the State governing body of private school accreditation associations. Online Privacy Policy. Form 990.

Social Media Marketing is a buzz word these days. If you have a business you know that you should be online participating on social networking sites!
So what do you do to get going with Social Media Marketing?
So here is what a typical business will do.
- Set up social media accounts. This is done by either hiring someone or figuring it out yourself.
- Making everything look pretty!! You put your brand and logo on your new accounts and make it look professional.
- Start following people and connecting with people you know as well as people in your industry or niche.
- This is where the stumbling begins.
Being social is the key to Social Media Marketing!! Sure you can be social one day but what about the rest of the week, month or year! There is nothing more frustrating to a customer or client, than not being heard! This is not your typical marketing. You don't hire someone to make a pretty advertisement and plaster it on a billboard and wait. This is active marketing. You customers want to hear from you. They want special offers through Facebook and Twitter. They want to know your listening by responding to their needs!
After you are done setting the accounts up and making them look pretty don't forget to come back and socialize often.
Time is a factor
I know as a small business owner I wear many hats. We all do this to grow your business. Sometimes in order to grow your business you must hand things off to someone else because we just don't have enough hours in our day to do it all. This is why there are Social Media Managers like Angie and I. We are here to spend the time that you don't have. We will be social for you and handle your reputation when a disgruntled customer starts "yelling" on Twitter! We handle these things so you can do the things you love to do in your business.
Bottom Line
Social media marketing is not about setting up your accounts and making them look pretty. It is about participating and creating a true presence online. Whether you hire social media managers like us or you carve out time in each day to socialize the most important part is to do it. Do it consistently!
If hiring a social media manager is the right step for you check out our services.

A former county drug court tracker pleaded guilty March 24 to four third degree felony custodial sexual relations and tampering with evidence charges.
On Tuesday, Melanie Madill appeared before Judge Lyle R. Anderson to answer a formal felony level complaint containing six separate third degree counts, one custodial sexual relations charge and five tampering with evidence offenses.
Carbon County Attorney Gene Strate acted on behalf of the state prosecutor's office and Michael Olsen represented the 41-year-old defendant at the 7th District Court proceeding.
Pursuant to a negotiated disposition agreement, Madill waived the right to a previously scheduled preliminary hearing in connection with the criminal matter before the defendant entered guilty pleas at felony arraignment on the third degree custodial relations count and four of the third degree tampering with evidence charges.
After accepting the Price resident's guilty pleas, the court referred Madill to the Utah Department of Corrections for a presentence investigation and tentatively set pronouncement of judgment in the defendant's four third degree felony level convictions on May 13.
Under Utah statute, the maximum penalty imposable in third degree felony criminal convictions includes an indeterminate 0-5-year term in the Utah State Prison.
In exchange for the entrance of the four guilty pleas, Judge Anderson granted a joint prosecution-defense motion and dismissed the two remaining third degree tampering with evidence counts contained in the criminal case filed against Madill.
Dated Feb. 2, the formal criminal complaint accused the former drug court tracker of committing all six of the third degree felony offenses from November 2008 through January 2009.
Count one contended that the defendant, while employed as a county correctional or law enforcement officer, purportedly engaged in unlawful sexual intercourse with an individual in official custody.
The complaint identified the drug court participant in question as a probationer or a person under correctional supervision.
Counts two though six contended that the Price resident knowingly or intentionally altered, concealed or removed evidence collected as a drug court tracker with the purpose of impeding investigations into suspected unlawful activities of program participants.
Madill initially came under scrutiny as a result of information provided by several confidential sources regarding the tracker's alleged criminal activities involving several participants in the local drug court program, indicated Strate during a January interview.
Defendants charged with felony drug-related crimes apply to participate in the program after appearing before the district court to answer the criminal offenses. The tracker monitors the participants, who must voluntarily submit to random drug testing as part of the program.
The confidential informants claimed that Madill purportedly altered, falsified or delayed the mandatory drug screenings for individuals participating in the county drug court program, continued the county attorney.
Prior to accepting the drug court tracker position, Madill worked as a correctional officer at the county jail.
In order to qualify to occupy jailer positions with the sheriff's department, candidates must obtain Utah Police Officers Standards and Training certification.
While evaluating the validity of the leads from the confidential informants, the state prosecutor and the sheriff's office implemented a policy to handle the administrative and criminal aspects of the matter independently, explained Strate.
Carbon County Sheriff James Cordova conducted an administrative review hearing with Madill and, following the discussion into the allegations, the Price resident resigned the drug court tracker position.
Upon completing the administrative stage of the process, the sheriff's department transferred the case to the county attorney's office and local law enforcement authorities initiated an intensive criminal investigation into the allegations, pointed out Strate.
The cooperative law enforcement effort included representatives from the sheriff's office and the county attorney's criminal investigator, Detective Will Draughon.
The detective conducted interviews with confidential informants as well as Madill before arresting and booking the former drug court tracker into the Emery County Jail on Jan. 27 on three third degree felony level counts, one custodial sexual relations charge and two tampering with evidence offenses. The jail released the defendant after Madill posted a $15,000 bond in connection with the matter.
Additional information surfaced during the investigation and the county attorney's office expanded the formal criminal complaint to include five third degree tampering with evidence counts along with the custodial sexual relations charge, concluded Strate.

Review: Why the Dalai Lama Matters: His Act of Truth as the Solution for China, Tibet, and the World
Review: Why the Dalai Lama Matters: His Act of Truth as the Solution for China, Tibet, and the World
Professor Robert Thurman
The day I got this book, I headed over to one of my favorite coffee cafés for some lunch and to start reading. A patron walked by, noticed what I was reading, and said, "It's a sad comment on the world we live in when we need a book to tell us that." I agreed with him and we chatted briefly, then I returned to my book. Later, I reflected on it, and really began to delve into the meaning behind the title. Why does the Dalai Lama matter? For the past 40+ years, Professor Robert Thurman has enjoyed a personal friendship with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and the warmth that he feels for his friend shows in this book, and throughout the book, Prof. Thurman proceeds to answer that very question. Throughout the book, Thurman discusses His Holiness from a variety of perspectives: religious leader, politician, philosopher, and scientist to name but a few. He then goes on to illustrate how his commitment to nonviolence is the best, if not the only, real way to achieving the world we all claim to want. What I found particularly interesting is that Thurman acknowledges the abuses and atrocities committed on the Tibetan people but doesn't delve into any attempt to alienate the Chinese people or his reader. Instead he calls to China to lead the world towards that bright future by setting an example for the rest of us to follow by liberating Tibet and putting into place a five point plan for Tibet. I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested not just in Buddhism or the Dalai Lama, but in how we as a species can best achieve world peace.
Professor Thurman will be in Boulder to talk and sign his book this Wednesday at the Boulder Theater. For information and tickets, click here.

The Dalai Lama is currently outcasting Buddhist from the Tibetan in Exile communities who rely upon the Wisdom Buddha Dorje Shugden. Over 900 monks have been expelled from there monasteries and are now denied material and spiritual support. Why? Because they've chosen to rely upon their lineage Gurus (the Dalai Lama's teacher Trijang Dorjechang for one) who promoted the practice of reliance upon the Dharma protector Dorje Shugden.
The Dalai Lama teaches love and compassion, but he's engaged in a Religious Persecution of his own people right now. Is he practicing what he's preaching?
Spread the truth about the Dalai Lama.
10th September 2008
To Robert Thurman,
We the Western Shugden Society are writing this letter regarding your previous public statement that Shugden people are sectarian, naming them "the Buddhist Taliban"; and your recent public statement that the Western Shugden Society protestors are "working for the Chinese".
As you know, Shugden people want to practice the Gelug tradition purely, without mixing with the Nyingma tradition. Because of this the Dalai Lama has said to Shugden people that they are sectarian. In truth, the Nyingmapa also want to practice their Nyingma tradition purely without mixing with the Gelug tradition; and it is the same for the Sakyapa and Kagyupa. So according to the Dalai Lama's view, the Nyingmapa, Sakyapa and Kagyupa are also sectarian, but he only says that Shugden people are sectarian. In reality he is lying.
If you, Robert Thurman, are not yourself lying, then you must show your evidence to prove your public statements: that Shugden people are sectarian, "the Buddhist Taliban" as you named them; and that the Western Shugden Society is working for the Chinese. You should show your evidence publicly through the internet before 25th October 2008. If your evidence does not appear by this date then we will conclude that you have lied publicly and are misleading people.
Western Shugden Society
For an alternative view check out these websites:
Please investigate the background. Several (not all) of the important Shugden teachers have demonstrable ties with China, some have even said the Chinese occupation of Tibet is a good thing on camera.
[…] man to the Dalai Lama, one of TIME's most Influential People and father of Uma, Robert Thurman is charismatic, wild and wise–perfect for those who want to connect with the Dalai […]
I like this web site very much so much fantastic info.

The first of December is the day to start counting down to Christmas Day with an advent calendar. So we thought we'd make an online Museum Victoria advent calendar with random treats and prizes.
At 5pm each day until Christmas Eve, we'll post a link to a Christmassy collection item through MV's Facebook and Twitter accounts and ask a question. The first correct answer to the question will be in the running for museum goodies like badges, books, toys and tickets. Come and play!
Advent Calendar door #1 was swiftly and correctly answered via Twitter - the question was what did Kathleen receive for Xmas? The answer - a tennis racquet.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Updates on what's happening at Melbourne Museum, the Immigration Museum, Scienceworks, the Royal Exhibition Building, and beyond.

Experts Contemplate Potential Impact of Defense Cuts
- December 5, 2011
- comments:0
The Defense Department's workforce of almost 800,000 civilians could fall by up to 20 percent by October 2013 if the Pentagon is forced to absorb dramatic spending cuts as a result of the supercommittee's failure to reach a deficit reduction plan, according to a former DOD official.
Some of the reduction could come via early-out incentives, but much of it would be involuntary, Cindy Williams, a former division director in DOD's directorate of program analysis and evaluation, told Federal Times.
"This is going to be a mess," said Williams, who now is a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's security studies program.
In addition to a drop in the civilian workforce, a former OMB official believes the department will request permission to launch another BRAC round as part of its fiscal 2013 budget request due in February.
"I think it's inevitable that we will see a defense build-down," said Gordon Adams, who now is a professor at American University.

Born Again: Self-Invention and Imposture in America
Led by Dr. Clayton Marsh '85, University Counsel
America has long celebrated itself as a land of rebirth where one can erase the past and begin life anew. Consider the unshakeable faith that sustains the self-invented Jay Gatsby: "Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can!" Indeed, the opportunities for self-invention are particularly abundant in a frontier nation of strangers where a winning smile, a new pair of shoes, and a well-tailored suit go a long way toward establishing one's character and credit in the eye of the beholder. This course will examine how the American yearning for self-invention is, at once, heroic and foolish, liberating and destructive, fraudulent and authenticating -- a yearning that is ripe for exploitation by those who peddle the promise of rebirth.
We will begin with Benjamin Franklin, whose most intriguing invention was himself and whose autobiography became a model for generations of self-made Americans. We will then focus on the dynamics of self-invention as portrayed in American literature. Our approach to these works will be interdisciplinary, taking us into a variety of cultural and historical issues such as the rise of a consumer market where the monikers of social status and pedigree are for sale -- where it is often difficult to distinguish the "knock off" from the "genuine article." After all, in America's aristocracy of dollars, fortunes may be won and lost overnight such that the gentleman in the Hamptons with his Belgian loafers is perhaps not so far removed from the guy at the mall in his "Members Only" jacket. We will also consider issues of race and gender as they relate, for example, to cosmetic surgery and other medical "enhancement" technologies.
Princeton's most sensational encounter with self-invention will conclude our six-week study. As you may recall, in 1988 the University admitted an eighteen-year old, self-educated wanderer named Alexi Santana who lived under the stars in Purgatory Canyon. During the spring of his sophomore year, just days after accepting a bid from Ivy Club, Santana was revealed to be James Hogue, a 30-year old felon who was actually doing time in a Utah state prison when his letter of acceptance arrived. At the end of the course, we will have an opportunity to meet on campus for a screening of Con Man, a documentary that chronicles Hogue's exploits at Princeton, and an evening of conversation with the filmmaker (Jesse Moss) and invited guests who came to know the mysterious resident of Holder Hall.
This home study course will consist of six weeks of readings and online discussions starting on Monday, April 17, 2006 and running through Sunday, May 28, 2006. To wrap up the course, participants are invited to the screening and discussion of Con Man on Thursday, June 1, 2006, the first day of Reunions 2006.
Registration and Pricing - Register for this six week course to join the online discussion group and receive access to the reading materials.
Syllabus - The syllabus includes an outline of the assigned readings.
Course Materials - Materials for this course include articles and books.
Questions? Please contact Kaitlin Lutz at email@example.com or 609-258-0014.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
So when last I left my faithful readers I had made it to Manhattan for my trip of a lifetime. I know many people aspire to Paris or Rome or somewhere equally romantic but I love New York and I can't help it.When I got to Erin's apartment, she told me that her schoolwork had accelerated and she would have little time to spend with me during my week's stay. She was apologetic but I was thrilled. Suddenly, the entire city opened up to me. I could go where I wanted, when I wanted and not be bound by someone else's schedule or desires. She did take me to Chinatown for supper one night, followed by a midnight ride on the Staten Island ferry the last night the twin spotlights shone in place of the World Trade Center towers. We took the subway and then walked the rest of the way. I stopped in a shop and bought silk purses for my twin daughters, which was really cool. Although it was late, the sidewalks were alive with people, oblivious to the time and lack of sunshine. Cars whizzed by, horns bleating, jaywalkers took their lives in their own hands. Odors from a multitude of restaurants, some fragrant, others pungent, met and mingled in the air before wafting down around us. It was great. The rest of the week was mine. Erin gave me a walking guide with a subway map and tips for getting around Manhattan. She lived on the Upper West Side, a block from Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History. I got up the next day, secured my spending money and wrapped my camera bag around me. The first thing I did was call one of my daughters right from the street. I could not believe how utterly excited I was to be in New York City. It was ridiculous, really, for one city to have such an impact on me but I loved every minute of it. I bought a sausage from a street vendor, getting mustard on my shirt that has yet to come out a yellow-stained memory. The weather was beautiful and I strolled into Central Park as if I owned the joint. I found the reservoir, around which so many celebrities jog, and a park bench honoring the late actress Madeline Kahn. I took a picture of that for my mom, a big fan who cried when the comedic Kahn died from cancer. I found Strawberry Fields, constructed in the memory of the late, great Beatle John Lennon, murdered in his own doorway at the Dakota, right across the street. I photographed a woman lighting a candle set in the middle of a sidewalk tribute to Lennon, talking to someone on a cell phone. "Yes, I'm here, right now, I'm looking at it, lighting a candle," she said. There was the park lake and beautiful swans, the center fountain, cherry trees heavy with pink and white blossoms. There was the Central Park Zoo. So soon after Sept. 11, there were tributes to firefighters and police officers at every turn. People were everywhere, bicycling, skating, walking, jogging, pushing carriages, strolling hand in hand with each other, yelling after kids, looking for the next adventure. I was in heaven. During my stay I rode the ferry to Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty, which was closed to tourists. Thank you, Osama bin Laden. I wandered the halls at the receiving building on Ellis Island, trying to feel the long dead spirits of immigrants, mine included, who came to this country, afraid but excited. The foreigners who built this country, who couldn't speak English, who were inspected and de-loused and harbored until they could be released into their new homeland. I was filled with emotion, wondering what my life might be like had they not made the journey to America. Would I even have been? I went to the Empire State Building, all the way to the top. What a rush! I rode the lift up but took the stairs down. The view, as might be expected, was magnificent. Again, more photos, from all around the top. There was the Chrysler Building, the Flatiron Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, where the Towers so proudly stood just months before. I went to Fifth Avenue, bebopped through Rockefeller Center as though I owned it. I saw The Plaza, featured prominently in one of my favorite movies, "Plaza Suite," FAO Schwarz, Trump Tower, Tiffany's. I rode the subway and buses, took cab rides and walked my feet off. I visited museums and took tons of pictures. Here I am, out of room again. I could go on and on about New York. I love it and hope to return. If you can, go there yourself.

Linksys unveils Smart Wi-Fi Router with ac technology
Oct 05, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Linksys, a provider a brand of home and small office networking products, has announced the availability of the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router with 802.11ac technology accompanied by a Universal Media Connector to connect devices such as Smart TVs, Blu-ray players and game consoles at Gigabit speed, wirelessly.
The Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router AC 1750 HD Video Pro is powered by the wireless technology, 802.11ac, delivering performance with Wi-Fi speeds up to 450 plus 1,300Mbps. Its peak performance combined with the new Linksys Smart Wi-Fi2 platform allows consumers to take control of their home network and devices through Smart Wi-Fi Tools and Apps, the company said.
"Designed to meet the explosive increase in video consumption and the rise of Wi-Fi enabled devices in the home, the new Linksys Smart Wi-Fi router with AC technology delivers incredible speed and simplicity while changing the way consumers interact with their electronics and HD content - allowing them to manage their devices remotely using easy-to-use apps on their mobile device," said Brett Wingo, vice president and general manager, Cisco Home Networking. "We are combining top-of-the-line Wi-Fi performance with unmatched usability and intelligence to deliver a better customer experience." The Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Account can be accessed securely from any web browser or through the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi App on a smartphone or tablet. To simplify connecting devices to the network, SimpleTap has been introduced with the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Routers.
SimpleTap lets consumers connect devices to the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router with as little as one tap of a button or with a quick swipe or scan of a device or tag, making it easier than ever to add devices to their Wi-Fi network, the company added.
Beyond making products available through retail and online stores, Cisco also collaborates with service providers to offer this type of solutions to consumers. Qatar Telecom (Qtel) in the Middle East is the first service provider globally that is rolling out AC-enabled Linksys Smart Wi-Fi products to its fiber broadband customers. Qtel provides a full range of telecommunications services in Qatar and across its presence in 17 countries.

|Breastfeeding continues to increase into the new millennium.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12456906 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To update reported rates of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding through 2001 and to compare rates in 2001 to those from 1996. METHODS: The Ross Laboratories Mothers Survey (RLMS) is a large, national survey designed to determine patterns of milk feeding during infancy. Questionnaires were mailed each month to a representative sample of mothers when their infant was 1 month of age, 2 months of age, 3 months or age, and so forth. In 1996, approximately 744 000 questionnaires were mailed, and in 2001, 1.4 million questionnaires were mailed. Mothers were asked to recall the type of milk fed to their infant in the hospital, and during each month of age. Two categories of breastfeeding were considered: breastfeeding (human milk or a combination of human milk and formula or cow's milk) and exclusive breastfeeding (only human milk). Rates of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding in the hospital and at 6 months of age were evaluated. RESULTS: In 2001, the prevalence of the initiation of breastfeeding and breastfeeding to 6 months of age in the United States reached their highest levels recorded to date, 69.5% and 32.5%, respectively. Comparing rates in 2001 and 1996, increases in the initiation of breastfeeding and continued breastfeeding to 6 months of age were observed across all sociodemographic groups but were greater among groups that have been historically less likely to breastfeed: women who were black, younger (<20 years of age), no more than high school-educated, primiparous, employed at the time they received the survey, and who participated in the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Breastfeeding in the hospital and at 6 months of age was most common in the Mountain and Pacific states and among women who were white or Hispanic, older, college-educated, and were not enrolled in WIC. Mothers most likely to practice exclusive breastfeeding in the hospital (46.2%) and at 6 months of age (17.2%) had a similar sociodemographic profile as mothers who breastfed their infants. CONCLUSIONS: If increases in breastfeeding continue at the current rate (approximately 2% per year), in-hospital breastfeeding in the United States should meet or exceed the Healthy People 2010 goal of 75% for the early postpartum period. However, the Healthy People 2010 goal for continued breastfeeding to 5 to 6 months of age (50%) may not be reached in every subgroup. To ensure that these goals are achieved, educational and promotional strategies for breastfeeding must be continued to support mothers who are young, less educated, and participating in WIC.

text: cinas02 5pts I just traded in my 08' GS350 for a 2013. I was hesitant because the 08" was such a good car and never had a mechanical problem. I must say that the driving manners and luxury of the 2013 have been tremendously improved. If it gives me the problem-free driving of the 08' I will be very pleased. About the spindle grille; I got the regular GS instead of the F-Sport because of the grille. The same basic car and I have actually gotten to like the grille.

Vodka shoplifter sues after store owner shoots him, but jury gives suspect nothing
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - An El Paso County jury has tossed a lawsuit filed by a thief who admitted he shoplifted a bottle of vodka and ran out of a Colorado Springs liquor store only to be chased down by the store owner and shot.
The jury Thursday found both men were negligent, but determined that the thief, Bryson Dewberry, was more responsible for his injuries than the store owner, Chang Ho Yi.
Because the jury determined Dewberry was more responsible than Yi, the shoplifter gets nothing.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, the jury assigned 65 percent of the blame to Dewberry and the rest to Yi.
