Contact Information:
Listed at the end of the case study.
The U.S. Department of Energy's(DOE's) Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), located 26 miles east of Carlsbad, New Mexico, is a leader in waste management practices. This unique, rural, 60-building complex is the site of the world's first underground repository of transuranic wasteclothing,tools, rags, debris, and other items contaminated with radioactive materials during the research and production of nuclear weapons in the United States.The plant is also a leader in energy efficiency and environmental purchasing.In particular, the plant's newly renovated engineering building features a variety of innovative products.
Environmental Purchasing Process
In 1993, WIPP staff developed an affirmative procurement program to encourage environmental purchasing. Through this program, WIPP procurement officials are encouraged to buy"green" and receive training on purchasing products that are recyclable or that contain recycled materials, minimize energy use, and reduce toxicity. The plant also has a pollution prevention committee comprised of staff from several departments. The committee's primary goal is to promote awareness about waste minimization and opportunities for environmental purchasing. WIPP's energy manager collaborates with the committee as well as engineers, chemical and lab managers, and construction managers to research and identify new products that can be used at WIPP facilities.
Beginning in 1998, WIPP staff worked together to renovate the engineering building with a variety of environmental products. "Originally, we only planned to purchase recycled-content carpeting for the building, but we quickly recognized we could do much more," according to James Hedin, Energy Manager at WIPP. "With the building's occupants, furniture, and office cubicles removed from the building, we capitalized on the opportunity to add a number of energy-efficient products, as well."
To identify the new products,such as lamps, exit signs, and motors, WIPP's technical staff searched the Internet, read trade publications, attended conferences and trade shows, collaborated with federal colleagues, and spoke directly to manufacturers.WIPP staff were successful in finding environmental and energy-efficient products that met the technical requirements of the facility.
To evaluate new energy-efficientT-8 fluorescent lighting, the WIPP energy team conducted a pilot test at the building with a limited number of lighting fixtures. They assessed the ease of installation and evaluated how well the new fixtures integrated with the existing electrical system. They also asked plant employees if they noticed improved lighting output. Once the research was complete and the new products were approved, the energy manager and other technical staff wrote detailed specifications for each item.
Use of Energy-Efficient Products
The engineering building contains the following energy-efficient items:
- 200 T-8 fluorescent lamps and electronic ballasts.
- Light emitting diodes (LED) exit signs.
- Pump and fan motors.
- Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) unit.
In addition, the renovated building contains post consumer recycled-content carpeting as well as high-reflectance paint. WIPP also substituted less toxic substances in a variety of applications such as HVAC refrigerants, solvents, and hand cleaners. As an additional feature, WIPP staff are currently in the process of installing direct digital controls for the HVAC system. Through the use of occupancy sensor sand other control measures, the HVAC system will meet building loads while reducing overall energy costs.
Challenges Faced
- Rural location. Because of the nature of the plant's work, WIPP is located in an extremely rural setting, making it difficult for product vendors to reach the facility. Although the energy manager was interested in purchasing energy-efficient variable frequency drives, for example, no companies in the area were able to service the equipment. Therefore, even more than at other federal facilities, product availability and customer service are key concerns for WIPP procurement officials.
- Stringent facility technical requirements. Some facilities at the plant are designed for specialized purposes and require specific equipment. The plant, for example, includes disposal rooms excavated in an ancient, stable salt formation 2,150 feet (nearly half a mile) underground. These rooms require very rigid temperature and lighting controls. Thus, products that might work for a typical government facility simply do not work in these specialized work environments.
- Low energy costs. According to the energy manager, the plant's overall energy costs are extremely lowapproximately $0.04 per kilowatt/hour. This leaves little financial incentive to implement new energy conservation projects. It can be difficult for WIPP staff to justify the expense of new energy-efficient productsespecially when they intend to replace a product that has not yet reached the end of its useful life. With this in mind, the energy manager recommends products that offer additional cost savings beyond energy costs such as lower purchasing, installation, maintenance and operation, and disposal costs.
Lessons Learned
- Verify all product marketing claims. Many manufacturers make claims about the environmental performance of their products. WIPP recommends carefully testing new products to verify manufacturers' marketing claims. The energy manager has tested dozens of new products, including some that did not perform as well as expected. Nevertheless, WIPP has learned from each experiencegaining a better understanding of the technology and the marketplace.
- Promote your success. Since its affirmative procurement program was established, WIPP's total environmental purchases have led to between $200,000 and $300,000 in savings, with the biggest savings resulting from its energy-efficient HVAC system. WIPP staff stress the importance of promoting these savings and the new technologies to others in the public and private sector to build awareness of environmental purchasing.
Project Future
In the future, WIPP staff are reconsidering purchasing renewable energy sources for the plant. In particular,the energy managers are interested in using photovoltaic (PV) cells to produce heat for the hot water system. Also, the plant is interested in using PV cells for generating energy at remote locations such as control air monitors.
"The opportunities are limitless," Hedin said. "In general, we've had great success with energy efficiency and environmental purchasing and found the products to be cost-competitive. We want to continue to be a leader in this area." For more information on the plant's energy efficiency and environmental purchasing efforts, contact James Hedin at WIPP at 505 234-8411.

Greenville Grub
Just a short drive from Asheville & Charlotte, NC, as well as Atlanta, GA, you will find Greenville, South Carolina. I really enjoyed taking a guided tour of this quaint city as it had all the "accoutrement" of a large city without the overwhelming crowds, etc. The downtown is wonderfully charming too. Complete with a river and waterfall right smack in the center, a neat suspension bridge over the whole park ties the whole area together beautifully. Along with the pretty park, you will find some great eats in downtown Greenville, as well as in the burbs ; ) Be sure to take a sightseeing tour or hang with a local to find out all the neat and picturesque spots!
One great spot in downtown, is Cantinflas. A Mexican restaurant with an extensive vegetarian menu! I was stoked that my dinner guests where all able to find something they enjoyed while I munched on fresh made guac (vegans have to ask for it as the regular guac appetizer contains sour cream) and the Mexican chipotle vegan meatballs with rice, beans and plantains, yummmm. I really loved that there was something on their menu for everyone. It was refreshing to be able to order a "meat" with my mexi-meal that was tasty and nutritious! Visist Cantinflas Mexican Restaurant at 10 S Main St, Greenville, SC 29601-2709, (864) 250-1300. Very friendly staff, good margaritas and super accommodating too!
Heading out of downtown for a taste of the east, I lunched at Saffron. Some of the best Indian I'd ever had, my lunching partners who don't normally eat Indian food, agreed. Everyone was ecstatic with the smorgasbord of food that we feasted on, tastier and tastier with every new dish. Family owned, Saffron offers up a great lunch buffet as well as a full vegetarian menu. No matter how spicy you like your chana masala, what your dietary restrictions are, or if you are an Indian food novice, Saffron is the perfect place for a great meal from Indian food nubie to connoisseur ; ) Great food, wonderful service and super helpful to boot ; )
Another great find outside of downtown is the Pita House. Another awesomely authentic, family owned eatery and market, The Pita House is the place to go for Middle Eastern in Greenville. They bake their own pita bread fresh every morning, make all of their pastries, hummus and other goodies in house. A band of brothers keeping their family food and traditions alive and well in the American south, its a must to shop as well as dine at the Pita House 495 S Pleasantburg Dr, Greenville, SC 29607, (864) 271-9895.
Heading back downtown, Lemongrass Thai is a fantastic place for dinner. Yet again, Greenville surprises with an establishment that catered quite nicely to the veggies. A full menu, the veggie options were many and I indulged ; ) Starting with the fresh basil rolls and ending with a generous helping of the vegetarian massaman (curry and coconut milk action), I was happily stuffed. Soothing atmosphere and a delicious menu, Lemongrass Thai is definitely on my Greenville hot list!
For some good ol', casual Italian, pop over to Trio Brick Oven Cafe. The pizzas, salads, pastas and sandwiches are all tasty and easily customizable per your diet. I veganized a sandwich and salad and didn't sacrifice a bit of taste. I was even able to enjoy some dessert as they had a killer sorbet to finish off my meal. Multo Bene!
Greenville was very pretty, very relaxing and very tasty. I would be more then happy to come back soon and chow some more ; )

The projections for the Metro also have an alarming statistic buried in the paperwork. Cycling levels in Copenhagen are expected to drop by an estimated 2.8%. That is a lot of cyclists we'll be losing.
To have a realistic Home to Work scenario with which we could compare travel times with the bicycle, we took addresses in potential residential areas in a range of less than one kilometre to a future Metro station and tracked the time it takes to walk from the address to the future station. We then added the two minutes that it takes to get down to the train and wait for it. (We actually timed this at a number of stations and worked out an average. We like details.)
And then comes the time you actually spend in the train, followed by the fact that it will take another minute (again, on average based on our timings) to get off the Metro and reach the street level again. Lastly we added the walking time from the station to an address in a potential working area, again in a range of less than one kilometre to the Metro station. As you can imagine, a trip incorporating the journey from Nørrebro Runddel and Enghave Plads doesn't take seven minutes any more.
In one scenario there is a tie between Metro and bike and in only one instance is the Metro slightly faster. The longer you have to walk to and from the station (last mile) the higher are the chances that the bike will be faster. From our data we see that 700m can be seen as a threshold: if you take the metro to work and have to walk more than 700m (about 10 minutes) on the way from door to door, you almost certainly would have been faster by bike.
Our little experiment has shown again that the bicycle is the best mean of transport to get from A to B in a city. And thirdly: Invest in public transport solutions which cover a larger geographical area at a lower cost. Like trams or light rail.

York area couples are no different. When Cantrell Frey's husband, Duane, proposed using a fortune cookie, she went straight to Pinterest to plan her big day.
"I'm a graphic designer, and I've always had an artsy background," Frey, 34, of Red Lion said. "I knew I wanted the wedding to be hands-on, and both of us wanted to give everything a personal touch."
Frey envisioned a "simple and intimate wedding — a personal reflection on us," she said. She chose Blue Hound Farm in Fairview Township for her DIY wedding on Aug. 25, 2012. The total cost came to just $7,000.
Cutting cornersFrey cut costs by designing her stationery, from the save-the-dates to the ceremony programs; purchasing her flowers wholesale, making her own bouquets, boutonnieres and centerpieces; and making her own favors.
While it's tough for her to pick her favorite DIY project from the wedding, she really loved the favors. She adapted a Pinterest project for drink coasters using 4-inch square tiles from Re-Source York.
"I cut patterns from scrap paper and used Mod Podge to attach the paper," Frey said. "Then I painted them with a protective coating. I received so much great feedback on the coasters. Our guests really loved them."
Frey also decided to think outside of the box when it came to her guest book, a bench that her guests signed with their names and a special message.
"When it's warm outside, the bench sits on our front porch and holds a plant," she said. "It's more meaningful than a book that would just end up stored in a box."
Making memoriesPlanning a wedding can be stressful, but Frey encourages brides to remember to make the process meaningful and personal. "Anything you can add to the event that is strictly about you two just makes the day so much better," she said.
Casey Herrmann, 29, of West Manchester Township agrees that adding handmade, personalized details to a wedding makes the experience truly memorable and intimate for guests.
For her Sept. 7, 2012, wedding at the Yorktowne Hotel, Herrmann set a goal to take the DIY ideas she saw on Pinterest and find a way to recreate them on the cheap.
"I found my guest book on Pinterest selling for $378, but I knew I could make it myself," she said. "I pulled out my coupons and ended up making it for $25."
Now the project, a shadow-box frame where guests signed their names, is displayed in her home.
Personal touchesHerrmann also purchased simple white-rose bouquets and added her own lace and pearl detailing to give the flowers a more custom look. She draped her grandmother's pearls around her own bouquet.
"It's just so important to focus on the things that actually matter," Herrmann said. "You don't need monogrammed cocktail napkins; you don't need the personalized monogram runner down the aisle. There's nothing you're going to be able to use that for in the future."
Herrmann splurged on a few items like a photo booth — the instant, posed pictures doubled as favors for guests — which brought her bottom line to $14,000.
"I've been to weddings that are so over the top, but I feel like our wedding was just so much more intimate and memorable," Herrmann said. "When it comes down to it, you're married and spending time with your family and friends. It really doesn't matter how much money you spend."

Facebook fans weigh inWe put a call out on Facebook to see what DIY brides have done for their big day in York and Adams counties. Here's what you had to say:
"We're making our own farmhouse tables for our reception … and it's become a small business. We're renting them out to other couples. What a great way to spread the love and create a true partnership!" — Missy Bupp
"I found lots of fabulous ideas on Pinterest — made our own barnwood signs, burlap and lace decorations, and candy/popcorn bar for our casual-themed crab feast reception." — Beth Bruening
"We did almost the entire thing ourselves, minus the dresses and food. We had in right in our driveway with more than 200 guests. I give many props to Pinterest and Etsy." — Ashley McClain
"My aunt handmade all the decorations for our fishing-themed wedding reception. She crocheted more than 100 fish-shaped pot holders as favors and made row-boat centerpieces for all the tables." — Jennifer Wentz Lorenz
"I made our invitations, programs and everything else. My husband and I cooked the food with the help of our family for 75 people." — Heidi Sherrick Wolak

BoingBoing going to TV
As everybody knows, all great ideas are eventually copied...er...adapted to other sources. Well, maybe not all of them but someone else is getting on the "daily video" bandwagon. Apparently, BoingBoing.net is going to do a daily TV segment to supplement its website. Of course, TV Squad has been doing something similar for quite some time now with our daily videos from Brigitte.
Actually, daily videos are nothing new. The Kid from Brooklyn has been around for a while now. Of course, he doesn't actually report news items. He more sounds off on whatever is on his mind.
Boingboing.net is something of an artsy blog and the articles on it can be somewhat random. Kind of like this one.
I wonder how Brigitte feels about Boingboing stealing her thunder? I hope she's not upset. Someone get her a cupcake.

Geek Tip: Pre-Label Your Gmail Addy to Sort Out Spam
Like us on Facebook
This little trick is modified from a tip I gave you a while back: you can add the plus sign at the end of your gmail address to sort email into specified folders. This is not only great for organization, but it can also alert you when someone has sold your email address for unsolicited spam. Find out how after the break.
For example, when you use your email to sign up for a service or website — we'll use Netflix for this instance — just use email@example.com instead of your usual email address. This way, if you get any new spam in your inbox with that address in the To: field, you'll know who's selling off your deets. Information is key!

Aiken–– Kermit Philman, 53, of Newport, VT passed away on March 5, 2013 in Lebanon, NH.
For the full obituary see Friday's Express.
While both games ended with identical 3-2 scores, the fortunes of North Country's two hockey teams were as different as night and day.
The good news is that at least one team will make an appearance at the Gutterson Field House, as the girls won their semi-final game against Middlebury.
For the boys, they fell just short in their journey to the finals, losing a heartfelt game in triple overtime to South Burlington.
Updates to come online, and the full stories will be in Monday's Express on the 11th of March, 2013.
WHITE RIVER-The Lady Rangers lost to Hartford 60-39 in the Division II quarter-finals on Friday night.
The full story will be in Monday's Express on March 11, 2013.
For updates of the NCU boy's semi-final game against South Burlington on Saturday March 9th, follow me on Twitter at @nekdrums.
DERBY – Phil White, executive director of IROC, released a press statement yesterday in which he said the organization is pleased with the "steady growth of town support" evident on Town Meeting Day. IROC submitted appropriation requests to 14 towns, and while many failed to come to a vote or failed to pass, IROC received $32,000 in support, up from the $4000 it received in 2011.
Support came largely from Derby, along with Coventry, Craftsbury, Glover, and Brighton.
TROY — Piping tar sands through the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont may pose a threat to the environment and area residents, but no NEK town took up the issue on Town Meeting Day. Instead, 29 towns in other areas of Vermont voted against tar sands, leaving some area local legislators saying that other towns should stay out of NEK business.
NEWPORT CITY – The city council wants more information before agreeing to jump on board with AARP to designate Newport City as an "age friendly city."
JAY–Whitney Bernier scored twice, and Cassidy Webster notched her first career varsity goal as the North Country Falcons advanced to the Lake Division semi-finals with a 5-0 win over Stowe on Wednesday night.
Mikaella Doran had 5 saves to earn her 10th shut-out of season, while Danielle Mayo turned away 36 shots for Stowe, who finish the year at 6-14.
With the win, the 15-6-1 Falcons will host fifth ranked Middlebury who upset Rutland 2-1 in overtime on Wednesday.
Game time is set for 2:00 on Saturday afternoon at the Jay Peak Ice Haus Arena.
JAY–the North Country-Colchester quarter-final game at the Ice Haus Arena was a place where hockey cliche´s went to die.
The two goal lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey, and it is hard to beat a team three times in a row, two of the most common phrases in the game, were both vanquished as the Falcons earned the 3-1 win.
North Country played a good chunk of the game up by two goals (that's one), defeated Colchester for the third straight time this year (that's two), and now have earned a date with South Burlington on Saturday afternoon.
BARRE-They fought the good fight, but in the end, size and speed from Burr and Burton ended the Lake Region Rangers run, 80-62 in the Division two semi–finals Wednesday night at the legendary Barre Auditorium. The number two seeded Bulldogs erased a five point Ranger lead and went on a 20-2 tear through the second period, and LRU was never able to get any closer than eight points the rest of the evening.
The Rangers got 17 from Clint Provoncha, 13 from Caleb Prue, 12 from Drew Gallup and six from Alex Beauregard.
BURLINGTON–North Country's foray into the 2013 post-season came to a close on Wednesday night, as they fell to the Burlington Seahorses.
"We didn't win, but it is nice to be associated with a great group of girls," said NCU coach Christiane Brown.
Offense was hard to come by for the Falcons in the first half, as they managed only twelve points in the opening sixteen minutes.
Things would get betting in the second half, as the Falcons would eventually out-score the Seahorses 13-12 in the final quarter, but by then it was too late.

The story of MassGeneral Hospital for Children begins long before the hospital received its current name; it begins 200 years ago, with the establishment of Massachusetts General Hospital.
The first child admitted to Mass General was an 11-year-old girl, brought in December 20, 1821, just three months after the arrival of the first patient. At that time no separate pediatric service existed, but children were often victims of diseases that were rampant in the region. With this in mind, Fritz Bradley Talbot, MD, founded the Children's Medical Service at Mass General in 1910.
Fritz B. Talbot, MD, founding chief of the Children's Medical Service, with his grandchildren.
Talbot's challenges were great. Parents were hesitant to have their children cared for in a hospital, a place at that time considered for the poor and destitute. Unforeseen events such as war and the Great Depression significantly impacted the nation and the development of pediatric care at Mass General.
Nevertheless, the extraordinary vision and perseverance of the hospital's pediatric caregivers enabled the Children's Medical Service to grow and flourish. The service grew to include the complete range of pediatric services, offering improved, family-centered care. The creation of a pediatric surgery division in 1962 paved the way for additional medical innovations including tissue engineering and minimally invasive procedures. The Children's Medical Service was renamed the Children's Service to accommodate the Division of Surgery.
In 1999, the Children's Service was renamed MassGeneral Hospital for Children, and today the hospital serves more than 170,000 children every year through 50 medical specialties and 15 surgical services.

MassGeneral Hospital for Children Heroes
Though many individuals contributed to the formation and growth of MassGeneral Hospital for Children, we've chosen to highlight the seven founding chiefs of the pediatric service and three founders of the pediatric surgery division.
Fritz Bradley Talbot, MD (Chief of Children's Medical Service: 1910-1932)
The founding chief of the Children's Medical Service at Mass General, Talbot promoted the development of coordinated home care by both nursing and social services. With his team he developed the term "allergy" and his research of children's responses to food and skin tests became the worldwide standard and the basis of the allergy-immunology specialty. Talbot initiated an ambulance service for children and, with the aid of his wife, a directory of wet nurses, lauded as both a resource for mothers unable to breastfeed their babies and an employment opportunity for women. Talbot explored treatments for epilepsy, including the benefits of a ketogenic diet-- a diet high in fats. He was active nationally in advocating for safe treatment of pediatric patients and advocated for a team approach to treatment. In his 22 years as chief, the uses of new technologies such as X-Rays and measurements of body chemistry changed the way physicians understood and treated diseases.
|Harold Leonard Higgins, MD (Chief of Children's Medical Service: 1932-1942)
Higgins was a physiological chemist, pediatrician and professor of pediatrics, whose early research focused on physiology and included work on metabolism, respiration and gas analysis. After earning his medical degree and shifting to pediatrics, Higgins' areas of interest expanded to include feeding and nutrition, diabetes, epilepsy and intestinal disorders. Higgins arrived at the Children's Medical Service during the depression, which made his job increasingly difficult. He identified progeria, a rare genetic disorder that causes children to age rapidly, in three generations of a family. He also developed an interest in applications of Pavlov's conditioning ideas to contemporary child care.
Allan Macy Butler, MD (Chief of Children's Medical Service: 1942-1960)
Butler was not only a consummate physician scientist, teacher-mentor and administrator, but also an advocate for the rights of man. A dedicated humanist, Butler aimed to better the lives of both children and adults. Just before becoming chief at Mass General, Butler organized the White Cross, a prepaid health insurance program linking 25,000 patients with 150 Mass General physicians. Butler also established a laboratory at the Boston Psychopathic Hospital to identify pharmaceuticals that could prevent malaria and, with government funding, developed protocols to establish optimal life-raft rations for those whose boats were torpedoed or whose planes were shot down in the Atlantic Ocean. Butler was also placed in charge of Mass General's Clinical Chemistry Laboratories. By 1950 he had made significant contributions, including discovering the use of potassium in correction of dehydration and the association between renal disease and hypertension. In 1952 Butler founded the Ross Conferences, an annual research conference sponsored by Ross Laboratories that covered advances meant to better the lives of children. Butler's many accomplishments as chief are especially remarkable because he assumed his role during the Great Depression.
|W. Hardy Hendren III, MD (Chief of Pediatric Surgery: 1960- )
Pediatric Surgery was not a recognized specialty in most of North America in 1960 when Hendren came on to establish the division at the Children's Medical Service. With direction from Edward D. Churchill, MD, chief of surgery at Mass General, Hendren set out to attract a patient base and a cadre of referring doctors, recruit other surgeons, and add an experimental laboratory and fellows to work in it. Hendren accepted numerous speaking invitations throughout New England, in which he lectured on many subjects, including intestinal obstruction in neonates, pediatric tumors and pediatric thoracic problems, supplementing his lectures with slides collected during his eight years of residency. These lectures brought additional patients to Mass General. Hendren is an Honorary Surgeon at Mass General and the Robert Gross Distinguished Professor at Harvard Medical School. A chair in surgery was recently established at Harvard in his name.
|Nathan B. Talbot, MD (Chief of Children's Service: 1962-1977)
Talbot served as acting chief when Allan Butler retired in 1960. Following in the footsteps of his father, Fritz Talbot, MD, Nathan Talbot was appointed chief in 1962. He received the Charles Wilder Professorship at Harvard Medical School two years later. Talbot oversaw the launch of more than a dozen subspecialties, including pediatric intensive care. Talbot appointed Daniel Shannon, MD, to found and develop intensive care for infants and children. Talbot felt that this was his most significant accomplishment during his tenure as chief, increasing the presence of the pediatric service at Mass General through strong associations with the Departments of Anesthesia and Surgery and attracting new faculty and residents. During his tenure, Talbot convinced the hospital's trustees to change the name from the Children's Medical Service to the Children's Service because of the addition of pediatric surgical services. Talbot also initiated "Total Patient Care Grand Rounds," which brought together various specialists to discuss patient cases. Talbot had a powerful and unrelenting focus on psychosocial malnutrition, and formed a series of inter-faculty seminars to explore the integration of social and behavioral science into pediatric practice.
|Patricia Donahoe, MD (Chief of Pediatric Surgery: 1973-2003)
Donahoe came to Mass General from the laboratory of Judah Folkman, MD, in 1970. She studied pediatric surgery and pediatric urology before joining Mass General's pediatric surgery division in 1973. Donahoe declined multiple offers to run a pediatric surgical service elsewhere in order to pursue her goals of discovery at Mass General. Donahoe's research in developmental biology was, and continues to be, largely funded by competitive NIH grants. Donahoe's research program has been aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of growth in utero. She has published more than 230 peer-reviewed publications in developmental biology concentrating on the gonadal hormone Mullerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) as a potential agent against ovarian cancer, the genetics of sex differentiation and a number of other congenital anomalies. Donahoe and her colleagues hold a number of patents on MIS and they are partnering with biotechnology firms to evaluate its use in ovarian cancer patients. Donahoe has garnered numerous awards for her accomplishments, among them Marshall K. Bartlett tenured Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School; member of the National Academy of Sciences; recipient of the Fred Conrad Koch Award, given by the Endocrine Society; president of the Boston Surgical Society; president of the American Pediatric Surgical Association; recipient of the Flance-Karl Award of the American Surgical Association; and the naming of the Dr. Patricia Donahoe Professorship in Surgery at Harvard Medical School.
|Donald N. Medearis, MD (Chief of Children's Service: 1977-1995)
Medearis came to the Children's Service having already been chief both at Pittsburgh Children's Hospital and Rainbow Babies Hospital in Cleveland. Trained in both pediatrics and infectious diseases, Medearis saw to advances in the emergency care delivered to children both at Mass General and nationwide. Medearis recognized the value of family-centered care and developed a medicine/pediatric residency program at Mass General in which to emphasize this kind of care. Medearis pursued an interest in the ethical behavior of professionals in medicine as well as biomedical and behavioral research by becoming chair of the President's Commission with that purpose. Recognizing that the Children's Service lacked a psychiatry program, Medearis appointed Michael Jellinek, MD, to develop a clinical and research focus in that field. Medearis was also well known for his constant use of the phrase "show me the data.
R. Alan B. Ezekowitz, MBChB, DPhil, FAAP (Chief of MassGeneral Hospital for Children: 1995-2006)
Ezekowitz came to the Mass General from Children's Hospital Boston as an internationally recognized investigator in the field of innate immunology. He made significant contributions to our understanding of vascular malformations and the role of the innate immune system in host protection. He recruited Howard Weinstein, MD, to lead the Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology and Emmett Schmidt, MD, as director of the Residency Training Program. A signficant effort was made to bring together pediatric care in affiliated community hospitals and health centers, the Newborn Services at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC) to provide seamless primary and specialty care for all infants and children in the Partners network. During his tenure the name of the Children's Service changed to MGHfC, and was designated the tertiary service of the Partners Health Care System for pediatrics. The administrative offices of MGHfC relocated to 175 Cambridge Street, with all division chiefs within the same building and on the same floor for enhanced collaboration.
|Joseph P. Vacanti, MD (Surgeon in Chief, MassGeneral Hospital for Children: 2003-Present)
Vacanti returned to Mass General, where he had trained, in 1999. His career has included starting an entire new field of research, tissue engineering, in which he has been working since the early 1980s. Vacanti's mission stems from his long-held interest in solving the problem of organ shortages. Through tissue engineering, a field that combines science, medicine and engineering, living replacements for organs and bodily tissues are designed and built. As of 2007, more than a million patients worldwide had been treated with some form of commercial, tissue-regenerative products. For his work in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, Vacanti received the John Scott Medal, awarded by the City of Philadelphia, and more recently, the prestigious Flance-Karl Award, presented by the American Surgical Association. He now holds the prestigious John Homans Chair in Surgery at Harvard Medical School.
|Ronald Kleinman, MD (Physician in Chief, MassGeneral Hospital for Children: 2007-Present)
Kleinman joined Mass General in 1977 as a clinical and research fellow in the Pediatric Gastroenterology & Nutrition Unit. He has served as chief of Gastroenterology and Nutrition since 1986 and has edited four textbooks. Kleinman's early scientific research focused on gastrointestinal immunology and immune tolerance to enteric antigens. More recently he has done significant research into the effects of hunger on the psychosocial performance and health of school-age children. Kleinman has distinguished himself through numerous contributions to Mass General's management and governance. As Charles Wilder Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Kleinman has also served as a Trustee of the Physicians Organization and he currently sits on the boards of Project Bread and the Global Child Nutrition Foundation. He has served as chair of the Committee on Nutrition for the American Academy of Pediatrics and is a Past President of the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity.

Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park and Pinnaroo Café, Padbury
I never imagined I would visit a cemetery to watch kangaroos grazing … but since discovering it I've taken every foreign visitor of mine there to witness this amazing sight for free.
Before you think I am a touch weird, bear with me.
Pinnaroo Valley Memorial
Park is not a morbid or creepy place at all – in fact it is a
collection of peaceful gardens with rolling lawns and water
features, interspersed with natural bushland that has been
tastefully landscaped to create an overall beautiful and
dignified place to honour the departed.
The main entrance to the park is on Whitfords Avenue, with another exit/entrance on Gibson Avenue. The winding roads within the park meander past the various 'courtyards' where you can see scatterings of floral tributes and memorial plaques discreetly placed in the grass. No headstones or monuments are permitted – only flat memorial plaques. This policy ensures that the natural bushland environment is retained.
The courtyards are named after Australian fauna, e.g. Zamia Court, Acacia Court and Cassia Court. If you drive slowly through the park you will eventually come full circle back to where you started, but there are clear signs along the way too to guide you. There are parking spots along the way, or you can simply do a slow drive through the park with your windows wound down to see the kangaroos. The speed limit is 20 at all times.
At most times of the day you can spot whole herds of kangaroos grazing on the lawns and amongst the native trees and plants. The best times are before or after the real heat of the day. They move around so you aren't guaranteed to see them in the same spot twice, but I have never been disappointed.
The place is so beautiful that you are naturally inclined to respect the peace, but it's obvious that allowing kids to run wild and be too loud on the lawns would be inappropriate. As for the kangaroos – you also need to respect their space, for your safety as well as not wanting to scare them. And do not try to feed them or touch them. But with caution you are able to come as close as 5–10m and observe them munching grass or nursing their babies. At certain times of the year I have seen baby Joeys with their heads sticking out of pouches. Every now and then a kangaroo will bounce off across the grass. As someone still fairly new to Aussie animals, it's a wonderful experience to observe them so closely!
There are a few shelters in the park with toilet facilities and also benches to rest on. Near the main entrance there is a Chapel and Crematorium that have daily services and ceremonies, and nearby is a small café called Pinnaroo Café.
I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across this café, which looks out over a rolling lawn where kangaroos often graze. It mainly serves people who are attending services at the park, but it is also open to the public. Again, kids running wild would be disrespectful, but the café has a fantastic kids corner to keep them entertained. It is enclosed for small children, and is bursting witha variety of toys and also has colouring-in pencils and paper for older kids.
There are several large tables inside with some rustic ones on the patio that have shade umbrellas. Inside there are also a few comfortable armchairs and sofas.
The café serves good coffees as well as other beverages, and has a wide range of yummy cakes, biscuits and sweet offerings. There are also some ready-made savoury choices on display such as sandwiches and wraps, and a few specials which change daily, e.g. soup and bread. There is no formal menu as such, nor is there a kids' menu – it's a simple café but I loved the relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

by Jodie 1 year agoAs a mum of a baby who is burie there I actually want to say I find this really disrespectful. Yes it is beautiful but it is a place many people go to mourn and be with their loved ones. Often we are tryiong to have a moment with our baby and are interrupted by people wanting to take photos of kangaroos, talking loudly, people who don't follow rules, bring in balls and are completely rude. I love my kids spending time there so understand others watning to as well, but people also need to be respectful of what it actually is. And respect those going to servces, or wanting to be with loved ones
by xrfordgal 1 year agoWell said Jodie. I for one will be respecting those who go there for the reason it was created & not visiting. I'm very sorry for your loss.
by Candice 1 year agoCompletely agree, my 4.5 month old was cremated there and although her ashes are at home with us, the pain of losing a loved one, especially when it's your child is the worst pain possible.

Cullen Keys Volleyball to First BIG EAST Victory of the Season
CHICAGO The DePaul volleyball team posted its first BIG EAST Conference victory of the season as it swept West Virginia 3-0 (25-17, 25-16, 26-24) on Sunday at McGrath Arena.
The victory moved the Blue Demons to 2-16 overall and 1-5 in conference play while the Mountaineers fell to 6-12 and 0-6.
DePaul dominated the first two sets before having to post a big rally in set number three to win the match.
In the first set, DePaul got six kills and five digs from Sarah Cullen while Jacie Fiedler added five kills and Christy Landschoot dished out 15 assists. The Blue Demons erased a 12-11 deficit with a 5-0 run behind two kills from Fiedler and never looked back out scoring the Mountaineer s 8-4 down the stretch to win the set.
The second set was much of the same as Cullen and Fiedler led a balanced attack with three kills each while Caitlin Callaghan had five digs. With the set tied at nine, DePaul went on a 6-1 spurt to essentially put the contest away.
The third set was much tighter. The Mountaineers led for much of the contest and were within one point of forcing a fourth set, leading 24-19 but the Blue Demons didn't back down. Four straight kills from Cullen erased the deficit and gave DePaul a 26-24 win and its first league victory of the season. Cullen was the highlight of the offense in the third set, recording 10 kills.
Cullen finished the match with 19 kills with a .317 (19 kills, six errors in 41 attacks) hitting percentage and added 15 digs. She was the only player on either team to record double figure kills. Landschoot dished out 38 assists while Kyndell Highland added 15 digs for the victors.
West Virginia got eight kills from Lisa Hough and 10 digs from Kylie Armbruster.
The Blue Demons return to action on Thursday when they host Notre Dame. Match time at McGrath Arena is 7:30 p.m. (CST).

Indian, French armies conclude joint exercise
The recently concluded joint exercise between India and France has given a boost to the robust relationship between the two countries in the defence arena, the Indian government's defence wing said on Wednesday.
Interacting with the officers and troops of the 5th Battalion, the Kumaon Regiment represented the Indian Army in the exercise.
Lt Gen Gyan Bhushan,GOC-in-C (Army Commander), South Western Command on Wednesday met the contingent and congratulated them for their excellent performance.
He praised them for being true ambassador of the professionalism and high standards of the Indian Army. He also applauded the troops for their dedication and hard work in the preparatory training phase which enabled them to successfully participate in the exercise with confidence and elan.
The exercise was conducted over a twelve day period from Sept 9 to 20 in Bourg St Maurice, in the French Alps with the theme being Counter Terrorist Operations in Mountainous Terrain.
The Indian Army contingent benefitted from the training on rock craft and combat mountaineering techniques imparted by 13th Mountain Infantry Battalion of the French Army which is a specialist Alpine battalion.
On the other hand, the French troops were highly impressed with the tactics and drills of counter terrorist operations displayed by the Indian Army Contingent.
The exercise is part of a broad slab of measures intended to deepen the engagement between the militaries of the two mature, like-minded democracies who have shared concerns in the spread of terrorism.
The Indian Army on Wednesday said Shakti-13 achieved those objectives in a highly professional manner.

Trying to do just the normal buttonhole, got the buttonhole foot on, plugged in, and stitch 0 selected (just plain button hole). But the machine is clunking, catching thread, breaking thread, chewing fabric. I don't know what on earth to do, I've tried changing thread, needles, pulled the needle plate off, given it a good clean and made sure it's all sitting nicely back in there. Straight stitch is fine, but the second I do a buttonhole, it's bad.
I'm trying to do my babys coming home gown and cant *cries*
------Check my blog :)
Juki Exceed F600, Babylock Imagine, Janome 300E.
The only thing I can think of is having the pin pushed all the way into the side of the machine. My Juki makes beautiful buttonholes, so I know it can. In fact, my Bernina is the machine that gives me fits so I use the Juki instead. That pin/plug has to be all the way in---try giving it another push.
I've done that several times, it's definitely all the way in, won't go any further.
It's the first time i've had trouble doing a buttonhole, and interesting enough, it's the first time I've used the replacement foot from Juki. (there were issues on the pin i think on the others? my dealer sent me a new one at no charge)
It's also doing a wide zigzag and then the narrow one, within the one buttonhole so it makes it obviously unusable.
I'm doing it on a fine silk, but there's several layers, not just one light one. I might put some tearaway on the back, and see if that makes any difference to how it goes through the machine.
When something like that happens you got to go back to normal sewing instead, and try straight and zig zag and see how that goes. If all fine there, then maybe something button hole only related. If not, something else going on.
Don't know what, but that happens to me every time I by accident, put a buttonholer on any machine clipped on backwards (as different machines sometimes have that actual button holder, on either the front or back part of a buttonholer) and so it cannot move right. It would be very hard to do that there, just since you got the plug in part too. Next I would wonder if my feed dogs are even moving right. So I would on purpose, lower and raise my feed dogs a few times to make sure they really were up all the way.
Next I would try that button hole, on at least 2 layers of normal woven cotton fabric like a bed sheet, even if you had no stabilizer or interfacing under that, and if it works fine like that, then you know now you have instead a sewing fabric/thread/needle/stabilizer/stitch length kind of issue instead, particular if it's chewing up fabric and trying to pull the fabric down the stitch plate hole, and not doing that for any other use at all.
In that case if it's really thin fine cotton or silk fabric and trying to make a buttonhole in it, with just no stabilizer or interfacing under there at all, then I think you got to change some stuff. Like open up your stitch length a bit, use the smallest sharpest needle like even a size 9, but at least no larger than a size 12, thinner softer more flexible thread would be good (like 2 ply cotton 50 weight thread) or even some 2 ply rayon or polyester made for more machine embroidery kind of thread, and also even though I can make a button hole with enough fooling around on it with most machines, with no interfacing or stabilizer, it's not that easy to even do so on some real thin slippery fabrics, and sometimes takes testing with a combination of a lot of different factors even. Also try strartching your fabric if cotton real good and stiff first, as that rinses out, or also try at least sticking some clear wash a way stabilizer under there, and running a damp q tip over it, would let you pull that off afterwards.
I think a button hole choice with lots of straight stitch underlay happening first just beneath the last final top satin stitch stitching choices, would probably work out better for it too possibly.
If buttonholer will make no nice buttonholes, on any fabric, with any thread needle combination, and even with good stabilization of some sort, and none of the buttonholes, no matter how you adjust them, then I think maybe you got a dud button holer. Good Luck and try all that stuff maybe.
Beauturbo, that was a brilliant summation. I plan to save it in my tips file.
------Let's just say all modern sms are well represented in my studio.
these are brilliant. I will try all of the above. and of course, emboridery thread, why did I not think of that, I usually do all my buttonholes in emb thread, and this is such a nice gown it would make a great effect.
well I don't know what made it work, but I got it.. first thing I did was tried it with a 60/8 silk needle (had been using a 70/10 silk needle) and it worked first pop on the scraps I had. So I stabilized the dress with some tearaway and used emb thread, and now have 2 pretty buttonholes.
Thanks for the tips and advice ladies, so glad it worked!

RideTacoma has attended many of the local Bike Month events and there's still one more tomorrow, the Bike-In Movie Night at The Red Hot (21+ only.) Along with the movie and some bike-themed beers, they'll be celebrating Tacoma's first on-street bike corral, installed outside their door on 6th Ave between Pine and Junett Streets. RideTacoma was the first to try it out!
Here's a recap of some of the Bike Month events that we enjoyed. What events did you attend? Any event suggestions for next year?
Tacoma Bike Swap: This event continues to be a huge draw for riders in every part of Tacoma's cycling community. Mattias volunteered at the bike corral while I pitched in with 2nd Cycle in the vendor area. There was something for everyone, even an obstacle course for the kids.
Bike to Market Day: The Tacoma Farmers Markets are happening more often and in more parts of the city. We missed the Broadway Market on May 3, but biked to the 6th Ave Market the following week for some produce. A friendly farmer liked our bike and gave us this tomato start.
National Bike to School Day: I biked to school with my kids and was happy to see a few other families trying it for the first time, too. We'll be posting more on family cycling in the coming months.
Zeit Bike: Letterpress Ride/Seek: My kids loved this event! Not only did we get to see the cool artwork from Wayzgoose and other local artists, but we also made our own art and jewelry from recycled bike tires. I'd like to see the Tacoma Art Museum make this happen again next year.
National Bike to Work Day: Mattias and I are both avid commuters, and it was obvious that there were more bikes on the road this particular day. Remember that if you log at least five bike trips with Pierce Trips during May, you'll be eligible for some cool prizes. Be sure to log those trips before the end of the month!
Bike to a Better Tacoma: Mobility coordinators from the City were on hand to talk with riders about plans and efforts to make Tacoma more bikeable. There were seasoned riders wanting to know what the city has planned for the future, and just as many new riders looking for more information and advice on how to include bikes in their daily lives. Attendance included all types of riders: families, racers, tourers, bike shop employees, and many commuters. If you're looking for a do-it-all event to attend next year, this might be it. I helped with the valet bike parking out front: we had nearly 60 riders plus another 10 kids that arrived in trailers and on cargobikes. I have a good idea of where the City can place the next on-street bike corral…

Fifty-six years ago, on February 9, 1955, Sophiatown was brought to its knees, bringing to an end its vibrant cultural, social and political life.
The tragic events of Sophiatown are commemorated every year on February 9, when people come together to remember the destruction of the legendary multicultural suburb.
This year's unique addition to the cultural line-up includes Kofifi Youth Theatre, a Sophiatown-based company, inspired by the legends and struggle of Sophiatown and Martindale residents.
The company will stage a performance of Zanandule – Spirit of the Elephant dedicated to, says Dineo Moumakwe, "the legacy of Sophiatown's heyday, when the rich mix of urban and traditional cultures meshed to create new urban trends of music, fashion, theatre, literature and life which still influence us today.
"Zanandule was inspired by a production called Elephant, which was devised at the Market Theatre and toured the UK in 2008," says Moumakwe, who works for the Trevor Huddleston CR Memorial Centre. "Like Elephant it portrays the fate of an African chief involved in the slaughter of elephants for profit. Before he can die, he has to revisit his past life to see just when and how the rot started to set in. The chief's atonement involves him in a painful journey of self-scrutiny as he watches his past crimes – his betrayal of his people, his forced marriage and the murder of his brother."
The cast comprises mostly actors under the age of 25 from Sophiatown and Soweto.
Based at the Trevor Huddleston Centre in Sophiatown, Kofifi Youth Theatre is a collective of youth from across Johannesburg, who have been working together for almost three years. They took Zanandule to the UK last year, during the World Cup, "to great acclaim" Moumakwe confirms.
The play was well received by audiences in London, the Midlands and Manchester, where it featured in the Contact International Youth Festival. This will be the first performance of the production in South Africa.
The play will run from Wednesday to Saturday at the UJ Arts Centre, Auckland Park, at 7.30pm. It is directed by Adrian Locher from Gloucester and choreographed by Makhomo Tsepa.
Tickets are on sale at Computicket.

The other day I took someone to GameStop to preorder Call of Duty: Black Ops II. That particular day just happened to be the day before (of?) the midnight release of Call of Duty: Black Ops II. As we walked up, two guys were sitting outside the store while another guy with this son (little brother?) walked up and joined them. At the time I didn't think much of it and just walked into GameStop.
Later, while inside GameSpot, I realized this was the line waiting for the midnight release of Call of Duty: Black Ops II. I was genuinely surprised at this fact; I did not realize people still line up for game releases. In fact, I was so surprised I asked the guy working at GameStop "do people still line up for games", and he replied in return "all the time".
And this is where the following comic comes in — check it out:
"I'm a cautionary tale -52 year old man by himself" LMAO!

Hey Ashraf,
what happened to the amazing photo of the day? I really wanted to see it and i missed out
I pass by Best Buy on my daily walk. This morning the tents were all lined up for the big Thanksgiving sale, and I bet every one of these people were there. I'm not sure when the sale starts, but half of those campers were there yesterday morning, too. Apparently, life without tech is futile!
Had to chuckle when I saw that comic.
My son went out yesterday afternoon to buy Battle Royal which was released yesterday. No lineup. However, we live in a small city so no surprise there.
I have seen lineups for games when I lived in Toronto, and they were long and contained many of whom are depicted in the comic.

Risman Plaza Construction Continues: Utilities Phase Continues, New Transit Shelter Nearing Completion
Return to Issue of July 5, 2010
As students, faculty and staff who are on campus this summer can see, changes are continuing to occur in Risman Plaza every day. The construction is part of the university's campuswide $200 million renovation plan.
Risman Plaza of the future
Additionally, the university has nearly completed construction of the new transit shelter that replaces the old bus stop. The new shelter is designed so that the structure is more open, with lots of light, and multiple entry points to make it easier to enter and exit.
"It's different in that it is intended to be used as a transportation shelter space," Pickering says. "The old structure was originally conceived as an information booth."
As construction continues, it will involve completion of the new fountain, seat walls and raised planters. This will be followed by the walks and brick pavers, lighting and installation of a new sculpture.
Phase II of the construction project was recently approved by the Board of Trustees. This portion of the project involves extending the green space between the Visitors Lot and the front of Williams Hall. This construction will help create a "new front door to the campus." It will be seen from Summit Street and will give that particular area of campus a more welcoming feeling.
To give people a chance to see the changes to Risman Plaza in real time, the university has established a webcam feed of the construction.

SLCC volleyball: Freshman Carol Grasso named 1st-team All-American
Freshman outside hitter Carol Grasso of the SLCC Volleyball team (26-8, 10-0 SWAC) was named a First Team All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).
She is the only player from the Scenic West Athletic Conference (SWAC) to earn AVCA First Team All-American honors and turned in 24 double-double efforts this season.
Grasso, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, adds the AVCA honor to her compliment of awards received in 2013. She was named a National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) First Team All-American last week and earned Region 18 Player of the Year honors for her standout performance on the court this season.
Carol led the SWAC with a school record 500 kills this season and was also an NJCAA Division I All-Tournament Team selection. Grasso's mark of 500 kills ranks 12th in the nation for this season. She finished with a SWAC-leading 56 service aces and was named Region 18 Tournament Most Valuable Player. Her total of 56 aces in a single season ranks fourth all-time at SLCC and 12th in the NJCAA for 2013.
She helped lead the Bruins to their first outright SWAC and Region 18 championships since 2009 and the program's first unbeaten conference season since 2007. Grasso and the Bruins finished fourth at the NJCAA Division I National Championships in Casper, WY.
Grasso finished the 2013 season with a 3.85 kills per set average (15th in NJCAA) and a hitting percentage of .265 on 1162 total attempts. She finished second on the squad in digs at 417 (fourth all-time at SLCC) with a digs per set average of 3.21.
The 5-foot-10-inch tall freshman turned in six solo blocks with 43 block assists on the season. She helped lead the Bruins to six wins over teams ranked in the NJCAA Top 10 and tied for the team lead in sets played at 130 (sophomore libero Indigo Allen 130).

First Reading: Tobit 3:1-25
1 Then Tobias sighed, and began to pray with tears,
2 Saying: Thou art just, O Lord, and all thy judgments are just, and all thy ways mercy, and truth, and judgment:
3 And now, O Lord, think of me, and take not revenge of my sins, neither remember my offenses, nor those of my parents.
4 For we have not obeyed thy commandments, therefore are we delivered to spoil and to captivity, and death, and are made a fable, and a reproach to all nations, amongst which thou hast scattered us.
5 And now, O Lord, great are thy judgments, because we have not done according to thy precepts, and have not walked sincerely before thee:
6 And now, O Lord, do with me according to thy will, and command my spirit to be received in peace: for it is better for me to die, than to live.
7 Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father's servant maids,
8 Because she had been given to seven husbands, and a devil named Asmodeus had killed them, at their first going in unto her.
9 So when she reproved the maid for her fault, she answered her, saying: May we never see son, or daughter of thee upon the earth, thou murderer of thy husbands.
10 Wilt thou kill me also, as thou hast already killed seven husbands? At these words she went into an upper chamber of her house: and for three days and three nights did neither eat nor drink:
11 But continuing in prayer with tears besought God, that he would deliver her from this reproach.
12 And it came to pass on the third day, when she was making an end of her prayer, blessing the Lord,
13 She said: Blessed is thy name, O God of our fathers: who when thou hast been angry, wilt shew mercy, and in the time of tribulation forgivest the sins of them that call upon thee.
14 To thee, O Lord, I turn my face, to thee I direct my eyes.
15 I beg, O Lord, that thou loose me from the bond of this reproach, or else take me away from the earth.
16 Thou knowest, O Lord, that I never coveted a husband, and have kept my soul clean from all lust.
17 Never have I joined myself with them that play: neither have I made myself partaker with them that walk in lightness.
18 But a husband I consented to take, with thy fear, not with my lust.
19 And either I was unworthy of them, or they perhaps were not worthy of me: because perhaps thou hast kept me for another man.
20 For thy counsel is not in man's power.
21 But this every one is sure of that worshippeth thee, that his life, if it be under trial, shall be crowned: and if it be under tribulation, it shall be delivered: and if it be under correction, it shall be allowed to come to thy mercy.
22 For thou art not delighted in our being lost: because after a storm thou makest a calm, and after tears and weeping thou pourest in joyfulness.
23 Be thy name, O God of Israel, blessed for ever.
24 At that time the prayers of them both were heard in the sight of the glory of the most high God:
25 And the holy angel of the Lord, Raphael was sent to heal them both, whose prayers at one time were rehearsed in the sight of the Lord.
Psalm: Psalms 25:2-3, 4-5ab, 6 and 7bc, 8-9
2 In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
3 Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
4 Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.
5 ab Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour
6 Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
7 bc According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
8 The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.
9 He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.
Gospel: Mark 12:18-27
18 And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying:
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if any man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no issue.
21 And the second took her, and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner.
22 And the seven all took her in like manner; and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven.
26 And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.

Moorish mosques and French fancies
For a country smaller than the UK, Tunisia has a lot going on. There's Middle Eastern promise in the form of mosques, hammams and medinas. And, thanks to the French, there are patisseries, belle époque buildings and boulevards, too. Then you've got the coastline – a never-ending ribbon of gold stretching the length of the country.
You're spoilt for choice when it comes to places to stay. Pretty Hammamet counts a long belt of sand, great fish restaurants and 3 golf courses among its best features. South of here is upmarket Port El Kantaoui. Here, you get 2 beaches and a marina packed with shops, cafés and restaurants. The Medieval town of Sousse is on an equal par. The French cuisine is something to write home about, and the souk warrants a spending spree.
Port El Kantaoui
Follow the coast south for about 50 miles and you'll reach Port El Kantaoui. Aside from the two beaches, the place to see and be seen here is the upmarket marina.
Then there's Sousse. This Medieval town's treasure-packed medina is a World Heritage site. And when you've had your fill of sightseeing, there's a glut of French restaurants and patisseries to refuel in.
Up-and-coming Djerba Island
Head down country and you get the full-on desert island deal in Djerba. It's a newbie on the holiday scene, but tipped for big things. It's the long sandy beaches that the travel pack are most excited about, closely followed by the cobbled lanes of the Moorish capital, Houmt Souk.

Port El Kantaoui
Back in the Seventies, Port El Kantaoui on Tunisia's east coast called in the planners. The brief was to build an upscale, cosmopolitan resort – and that's exactly what they did. Style-wise, the place is all white buildings and cobbled streets with a swanky marina that takes centre stage. There are a few finishing touches, too – like a PGA golf course and a 2-sided beach.
Set on the east coast of Tunisia, the city of Sousse has been around for nearly 3,000 years – so it's an old hand at putting on the sights. If you like medinas, mosques and bustling souks, you've got them all here. The resort also comes with a lively nightlife scene.
Back in the Sixties, this former fishing village got its first hotel – and since then it's never looked back. In fact, this sophisticated resort on the northwest coast of Tunisia has even been compared to St Tropez. It certainly mixes up its old-world charm with beachfront cafés and discos – though the walled medina with its tangle of alleyways might just give it the edge.
