Truly a wonderful man! Memory Eternal!

May his memory be eternal. God bless his family during this time. It is a true loss.
Mark, on a side note, if i'm not mistaken the late Archbishop was the primary supporter of OCA news and protected this site from harm. Mark, is this correct, it is something i heard through the grape vine. If it is, I wonder what will happen next with this site.
(Editor's note: The Archbishop simply practiced what he preached, that "We are free men in the Midwest". That has not changed with his passing, veiled threats notwithstanding. )

My heartfelt condolances go out to each and every member of the Diocese of the Midwest.
May Archbishop Job's Memory Be Eternal.

Those who care about the Orthodox Christian mission here in America are challenged by the passing of Archbishop Job. He has been a stalwart for the Truth and Way that leads to Life. Unless others rise up to take his place, Orthodox Christianity here and abroad we be left wither as the Churches of Laodeciea and Sardis.
#4 Marc Trolinger on 2009-12-21 16:31
A clarification of my last sentence is in order. What I wanted to convey is that unless we seek out leaders such as Archbishop Job, the Church in America and around the world will find itself in the condition of Sardis and Laodecia, instead of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:1-22) when our Lord returns.
Archbishop Job will be greatly missed by those who value the truth. May the memory of Archbishop Job be eternal.

From everything I've heard about +Archbishop JOB, he was a holy man and a wonderful shepherd. May his Memory be Eternal. My thoughts and prayers are with the Diocese of Chicago and the Midwest and with the OCA, because we need more bishops like him.
#6 Janice Chadwick on 2009-12-21 18:19
It is very sad to have our Father in Christ taken from us, so suddenly. He was not perfect and he would be the first to refreshingly remind you of that. +Job was a true pastor to his flock and spiritual father. We hope and pray that he will be granted the Kingdom of God and that his memory will be eternal !! Axios, Axios, Axios !

Archbishop +Job was the one bishop of the OCA I ever had the occasion to meet in person.
My family celebrated Pascha at Holy Trinity Cathedral in the Spring of 2007 due to the odd circumstance of my wife having a professional conference in Chicago that weekend.
Others will remember him for his upright and forthright role in the OCA's late troubles. I will always remember him for the joy that seemed to radiate from him as he celebrated the Paschal Liturgy.
Memory eternal! Memory eternal! Memory eternal!

What does it mean when an Archbishop of the Church dies behind the wheel of his car, presumably alone, and obviously ill? Why was there no one there to assist him? Why was he not given medical treatment earlier?
Archbishop Job was, for me, the one (and I do mean the ONLY one) shining light of truth in the Synod of Bishops. He dared ask the only necessary question in the midst of the scandal, and for it he was publicly humiliated and scorned. Now that this one light has gone out, so, too, has my hope for any meaningful reform of the OCA. It will be "business as usual."
"Give rest and blessed repose O Lord to the soul of your most faithful servant Job, who suffered not only like his namesake, but like you yourself. His memory will be eternal for those who loved him, but as frail humans, often failed to tell him."
(Editor's note: The Archbishop was alone because he disliked flying, and chose to drive most places; and once again, choose to do so alone. Medical attention was offered on multiple ocassions and refused, because the Archbishop disliked going to the doctor.)
#9 Lewis H. Whitaker on 2009-12-21 22:11
May his memory be eternal. A big thank you to Bishop Joseph of Los Angeles for the Memorial Service he served and posted on the website of his diocese (www.antiochianladiocese.org). He is truly a leader in the efforts to unite America as he always recognizes the hierarchs of the various jurisdictions.
#10 Anonymous on 2009-12-22 01:27
Okay, thanks. I just heard that and wasn't for sure so I wanted to see if it was accurate.
However, remember. It is true we are free in not just the Midwest but all America, but we must be united across all America..not just one region apart from the rest.
May his memory be eternal.
#11 William on 2009-12-22 07:33
Dear Friends: Last Friday afternoon I was returning from visiting my mom and was checking in with wife. She told me to pull over to the side of the road for some shocking news. Just 4-1/2 years ago +Job consecrated our new temple, and last year he presented Anna with her late vocations graduation certificate. He was to be with us late this year for our church's 40th anniversary. But I will most remember him for his words when the powers that be tried get him to silence this website: "We are free men here in the Midwest!" Yes we are, and now you are free dearest Vladiko, free from the burdens you carried the past years, free from the suffering at the hands of those who wanted you silenced, and worse. Now, Vladiko, it is our responsilbility to carry the torch, we free men and women of the Midwest. Please pray to Christ our God for the salvation of His Holy American Orthodox Church, and for the salvation of our souls.
An audio of tonight's funeral service will be on www.ancientfaith.com in the next few days.
#12 Michael Strelka on 2009-12-22 11:37
Yes, thank God for Bishop Job, and thank God for Bishop Joseph for remembering his fellow shepherd. Memory eternal!
#13 Gabriel Stewart on 2009-12-22 13:10
May His MEmory Be Eternal!
Do anyone know how long before they will start the process to fill the vacany? I could make a recommendation that they transfer Bishop MArk from the antiochian archdiocese???
#14 Anonymous on 2009-12-23 09:16
Does anyone know if there are prints available of any of Archbishop Job's icons?

Harbin, China
The death of this very righteous Archbishop has reached us all the way here in Harbin, China, 10,000 nautical kilometers from Chicago, and we are truly, truly aggrieved.
He was the St. the John Baptist of a truly corrupt and evil ridden Synod of Bishops of the Orthodox Church of America. Even here in China, in our newspapers, we were entertained with the malfeasance of the Orthodox Church of America, as an example of "corrupt Christian spirit". Nonetheless, we could also read about this very good Archbishop and the humiliations that he suffered.
Metropolitan Herman is gone; the Archbishops Dmitri and whatever-his-name-was from San Francisco are gone.... All of these evil, evil men hastened the death of this kind and beloved Archbishop.
We remember at our prayers on Sunday and we will remember him on the 40th day as well.
Truly we are afflicted.
Dear Beloved Clergy and Laity of the OCA,
I would like to express to you my deepest sympathy in the sudden loss of your beloved Archbishop JOB, of thrice-blessed memory. This was so sad when I read it last week, and I think I have met him before. I saw his picture, and you can see the joy and peace on his face. It's extremely sad that this young man, who obviously loves God and devoted is whole life to HIM, did not seek medical attention immediately, despite the pleas of his chancellor. The doctors could have made him well in time, and especially to be travelling alone in that cold weather and very sick.
You have lost a wonderful man, who stood up for truth and honesty, and wanted only the very best for his flock. May God bless all of you and grant you comfort and healing at this time, and may Archbishop JOB rest peacefully in the arms of God, knowing that his short life on earth was filled with the Holy Spirit. What a true shepherd.
William, only you would bring up this point. What are you saying? Now that Archbishop JOB is gone, this website will be gone also? It doesn't matter who was doing what, whether he was able to protect this website or not. What matters is the trouble is still brewing out there. MP started all of this mess, and continues it. He doesn't care who he steps on in the process - look what he did to Bishop MARK, who insisted that his Diocese be financially responsible and accountable. He may as well have shot him in the head - what credibility will he have now with those in his Diocese who refuse to listen to him and obey him?
The trouble is in Englewood, where it started, and until people accept that fact, this mess will only get worse. Englewood needs to be swept clean, then the inner circle throughout the Archdiocese needs to be swept clean. Maybe then we can start over and build our faith back to where it should be. Until this is completed, we're in for a long battle, and I hate to see our church, God's Holy Church, be the site of a battleground.
William, you should join the side of righteousness and true faith in God. Who wants to be on the other side of the law - at the left hand of God? We want to be at the right hand of God.
I don't think Bishop MARK should even consider a transfer to the OCA. Any or all of our Hierarchs could do the same thing, and then we would still be stuck with MP and his dishonesty. We need our current Bishops to stay, stand strong, and stand up to MP, making it clear, that regardless of his illegal actions, they intend to clean up their own Dioceses and make them healthy and legal and holy once more. Please - Diocesan Bishops - order the financial reviews in your Dioceses - don't let MP cut you down as he has before. It's obvious that he doesn't acknowledge any authority for any of you, and the July conference call was a sham and not intended to restore any of you to where you should be. He cannot be trusted. We need your strength to get thru this. Stand strong and united, and he will have no choice but to back off and listen to the words of holy men.
Yes, this is a sad death. The Archbishop was a self destructive individual in so many ways, and despite all the praise, some of us who were in NE when he was there remember another Job.
#22 no name on 2009-12-28 17:34
To anyone who attended the Funeral services:
Did even ONE of the OCA hierarchs make reference to their need to beg forgiveness of Abp Job for the way they either crucified him or stood by and watched while the wretched Bp Nikolai did it for them??? God have mercy on THEIR souls, and grant rest to Abp Job. He will be missed.
#23 Anonymously sad about it all on 2009-12-28 18:08
My friend, please do not say for me to join the righteous faith when I am already here. That is ignorant at best for you to say.
To make it clear, this did not originate from MP as you state. If you look and assess closely, MP just put his foot down because the bishops where going off like loose canons with their power hunger thriving to become the next metropolitan. Bishops having people check their email, bishops ordaining individuals that didn't even go to seminary at all but yet have 4 foot beards is just as good, priests that control bishops i.e. in the Midwest we all know who pulls Bishop MARK's strings (Fried chicken sounds good)...
It is truly disgusting that no one on this website understands that MP was a leader and still is in trying to make a point that we must be unified and the accident of making Diocesan bishops was just that...an accident in my opinion. It made disunity rather than unity. I'm sorry my friend. I will not grow my beard like you and join some hypothetical side you speak of. I will just continue to pray and go to church like a normal christian layman and not a monk...else I might as well go to a monastery.
NOTE: I am not making fun of monasticism, i'm making fun of the individuals that are married and act like a monastic - kind of hypocritical and entertaining to watch in my opinion.
So I will stop posting with my hand upon my chest in humility and tilt my head in obedience since you are reading this...then go my own way back to my real self after leaving this church related website.
#24 William on 2009-12-29 10:48
Thanks to Lewis and Mark both for asking and answering the questions I wondered.

Vallejo residents proposed an amnesty program so code enforcement issues can be addressed without fear of fines.
The amnesty idea was one of several offered Tuesday night during a city-sponsored meeting to discuss a new community-driven program to help those with hardships.
The meeting also was to call for volunteers to help correct code enforcement infractions, and create a one-stop shop.
The idea behind the program is that anyone who is eligible -- those with disabilities, going through financial hardships, or elderly -- can be referred to receive services for free, or for a minimum fee, to fix their properties in order to avoid fines.
The services would come from community volunteers through service and faith-based organizations, or by helpful neighbors.
"This may just buy them the time to figure things out, either to talk to family members or sell their property, or whatever it may be," Division Manager Nimat Shakoor-Grantham said.
About 25 members of the public attended the meeting, and a few voiced skepticism.
"Where are you going to get these volunteers?" Willie Billops, a Vallejo resident since 1996, asked. "And there's a trust issue, if they are going to go into homes of the elderly."
Shakoor-Grantham conceded that program details still must be figured out, but added, "this is why we are having this meeting. We need input from (the public)."
Many other community members, including Billops, raised the subject of retroactive amnesty, which would pardon, or cap, past fines for those eligible for the future program.
"There needs something in place right now for people to reapply and reset the timing," a man said.
Myrna Hayes, Vallejo resident and activist, shared her personal story to the crowd.
"I'm one of those people you are talking about today," Hayes said. "I came here to see if I could benefit from this program. ... I sincerely hope you can turn it around for me, and hundreds and thousands of the poor..."
Hayes said she had several accidents, which resulted in her relying on disability income.
"I know it's easier to start from today, but there's so many people bringing up (retroactive amnesty), and we need look into it," Shakoor-Grantham said.
Currently, no Code Enforcement Division program exists to assist the elderly or disabled.
"Our goal is to make people voluntarily comply," she said. "It's less work for us, and the neighborhood benefits from it."
Officials said they would like to increase the voluntary compliance rate to 95 percent from 87 percent in 2013. Voluntary compliance means the property owner corrects the infraction before a citation is issued. The division issues a warning letter before it sends its first citation. Generally, the property owner has 20 days to correct a problem, although the deadline can be extended on a case-to-case basis.
The next meeting will included a discussion about discuss specific plans for the program. It has not yet been scheduled.
For more information, contact Shakoor-Grantham at 707-648-4522 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Self-discovery in Pig Latin
The book you see on the table in Richard Telles Fine Art's foyer now says E-thay Inward-Yay Ourney-Jay on its cover, but it used to say The Inward Journey. Artist Dan Finsel rewrote the title in Pig Latin. Then underneath the title he inserted a photograph of himself, looking official but doing something strange with small sculptures that resemble kitchen supplies, and painted the same modish, pink and orange design from the book's cover on the divider wall that separates foyer from main gallery. It's tasteful and psychologically perverse at the same time, as are the other works in the show: handcrafted tables with odd tableaux on their tops, portraits of Finsel with a tail coming out of his mouth, or paintings of what look like misshapen wrought-iron hearts. 7380 Beverly Blvd.; through April 20.

Blaming Islam for ISIS: A convenient lie to prepare us for more war | Middle East Eye - 0 views
shared by Ed Webb on 27 Nov 15 - No Cached
We can't defeat ISIS if we misrepresent what and who ISIS actually is. Far from being the apocalyptic Islamist group that Wood contends they are, actual IS documents and blue prints reveal IS to be methodical state builders, led by secular Baathists – who aim to restore Sunni-Baathist power in Iraq. These documents also make clear that Saddam's former generals (anti-Islamists) use Islam as a recruitment tool. "They [ISIS founders] reasoned that Baghdadi, an educated cleric, would give the group a religious face," notes the German newspaper Der Spiegel.
recruits are drawn to ISIS for reasons that have little to do with extremist Islam. "They are woefully ignorant about Islam and have difficulty answering questions about Sharia law, militant jihad, and the Caliphate,"
the media welcomes only those who blame Islam or "radical Islam" and not those who speak to the conditions that make ISIS appealing

blaming Islam makes us feel good about ourselves. Blaming Islam is good for television ratings. Blaming Islam makes it easier to sell new wars

For many Santa Cruz County residents, passenger rail service along the coastal tracks would be a dream come true. Now, with the county transportation agency poised to buy the 32-mile rail line from Union Pacific, advocates hope that dream may be closer to reality, while planners stress there is no current plan for passenger service on what they call the Santa Cruz Branch Line.
The passenger-train dream faces a number of obstacles including the likely need for public subsidies, critics who say there are not enough potential riders and homeowners who live near the rails who don't want the noise.
What is known is that any plan for passenger service -- and there are several -- would require study, time and money before any train carrying people would ever rumble, or quietly zip, down the local tracks.
In 2007, the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission asked county residents to set transportation priorities and found passenger rail high on the wish list. The survey of 600 Santa Cruz County voters, done while planners were preparing a tax that would widen Highway 1 among other projects, found that 62 percent supported a tax that included money for passenger rail; 68 percent supported trains with connections to San Francisco and other cities; and 47 percent wanted train service between Santa Cruz and Watsonville.
The costs and viability of passenger service on the line has not been studied recently, and those are likely major points of interest for taxpayers, experts say.
Paul Dyson, president of the Rail Passenger Association of California, said he is always concerned whether rail is a good value for taxpayers and that it is typically more efficient when part of a larger network. Passenger rail lines, especially short lines, don't normally generate enough income to cover costs, but they can, if well run and well used, Dyson added.
"One of the biggest issues is that they require some sort of operating support," Dyson said. "You can usually find funds to buy tracks and a couple of trains, and everyone likes a ribbon cutting, but what happens every year when you need millions of dollars for bridge repair? All of the sudden it becomes less popular."
Despite the challenges, rail advocates say passenger service can be done in Santa Cruz County and done well.
Bruce Sawhill, co-chair of the Santa Cruz advocacy group Friends of the Rail Trail, believes the county has the population patterns to make some sort of train service work, with a concerted resident effort, planning and a diligent search for funding. Sawhill has a background in physics and mathematics and consults for clients including the Federal Aviation Administration.
The county has a low population density overall, he said, yet is urban along the coastal plain, with 120,000 people living within a mile of the rail line. Also, he says, about 40,000 people travel to both UC Santa Cruz and Cabrillo College on weekdays, he said.
Within the county, electric trams could zip residents around town -- and around traffic jams -- with little pollution and with enough convenience to be genuinely popular, he said.
Using the line for passenger train service in conjunction with a trail beside the tracks for bikers and walkers, the group's immediate goal, would "greatly enhance the economic, environmental and social benefits of public ownership of the rail corridor," Sawhill stated in a Nov. 1 Santa Cruz Sentinel editorial.
Dave Wright, a co-founder of Friends of the Rail Trail, added that California's population is expected keep growing, and transportation planners have their work cut out for them.
"Rail ridership is growing nationwide and passenger rail is very viable and needs to be on the table," he said.
At least one group in Santa Cruz, however, has serious doubts about increasing any train service on the line because of the noise, and what they fear will be high costs and low ridership.
Robert Jones, a retired engineer and spokesman for a citizen group called Santa Cruz Coalition Against Recreational Rail, lives in a Seacliff home that backs up to the tracks.
"I can tell you when the Monday, Wednesday, Friday train comes by at 5 mph, all the homes along there rumble," he said. "I can't imagine the noise of having a commuter train there. But primarily, I oppose it because based on all the studies done, it will never pay for itself."
Jones, like the Friends of the Rail Trail's Sawhill, is passionate about rail, but is on the opposite side of the tracks in his belief that commuter-orientated passenger rail in the county harkens of fiscal lunacy.
A track assessment was done in 2005 and 2006 to gauge the rail line's condition.
"It is just a single track, without two-way traffic, and it has to go slow," he said. "There are over 40 bridges and trestles which need seismic upgrades and repairs; the cost is staggering."
Jones estimates it would cost $2 million to $5 million per mile to upgrade the line enough to allow passenger rail service at meaningful speeds and room for a rail trail for those on bikes or foot.
The county has not studied passenger service thoroughly, so concrete figures on how much it would cost to prepare the tracks for passenger service with speeds greater than 15 mph does not exist.
However, to allow the current freight service to continue, only the trestle near the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk needs significant seismic repair, estimated at $800,000, said Luis Mendez, deputy director of the Regional Transportation Commission. Upgrades to allow for the higher speeds needed for passenger service would lead to significantly higher costs, he said.
Despite the challenges to provide passenger rail service, municipalities across the country and California appear headed down that line, drawn to the environmental and other quality-of-life benefits. And even Jones said he would consider results of an unbiased study on the feasibility of rail service that would lead to meaningful traffic improvement on Highway 1.
In Sonoma and Marin counties, the state-authorized North Coast Rail Authority bought 70 miles of track from private operators including Union Pacific Railroad in the 1980s and 1990s and retained right to run freight on them, said John Nemeth, planning manager for Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit.
"The right of way was acquired with the idea we should preserve it as an asset," he said. "It was a long process, but it was beneficial to us that there was the foresight to acquire it, and we could tell voters that we already owned the line."
In 2008, about 70 percent of voters in those counties passed a quarter-cent sales tax to pay for passenger rail and a bike path along the corridor between Cloverdale in north Sonoma County to Larkspur in southern Marin County. The trains are expected to roll in five years, Nemeth said.
The 20-year bond measure is expected to raise $600 million, Nemeth said, and they estimate fares paid by 5,300 weekday riders will cover 35 percent of the $17 million annual operating budget.
"It's possible to do better than that from fares, but one never knows for sure," he said.
The agency says the trains will go as fast as 79 mph and use clean-diesel and new diesel-engine technology, and that they may be the first to meet new federal diesel train engine emissions regulations set to being in 2011. Also, the agency claims, getting people out of their cars into the trains will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by some 30 million pounds per year.
In Monterey County, transportation leaders are looking for financing and deciding how to build a rail-trail and passenger service roughly between Monterey and the Cal State Monterey Bay campus area in Marina, with stops in Seaside and Castroville.
After buying 16 miles of rail line from Union Pacific in 2003, Monterey County is deciding between a light-rail system that runs on tracks similar to San Jose's light-rail system and rapid transit buses that would run alongside the tracks.
A funding source has not been secured to pay the estimated $114 million to $128.5 million it is expected to cost for vehicles and track repair in the first phase of a passenger train project.
Monterey transportation officials are hoping for federal transit funds, which they would need to match at 20 to 30 percent with local transportation dollars. As for operating costs, they estimate fares would cover 20 percent and would be much faster and more efficient than a bus line it would replace.
Sawhill points to the passenger-train progress in a "conservative Monterey County" as evidence that passenger rail is feasible if it is well planned and well researched, while Jones' group remains unconvinced.
Jones said his Seacliff area neighbors refuse to get fired up about it now, having seen several plans come and go. But many would, he predicts, if there were a specific plan.
In the end, the Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Commission's goal is to push any discussion of passenger rail down the line.
"The plan is to buy the line to preserve it for any transportation services the community wishes to use it for," Mendez said.

About the
Money Trail series
A 2007 survey found that passenger rail is one of the community's top transportation wishes. The Sentinel takes a closer look at what proponents of passenger rail envision and what critics say about those plans.
The county transportation agency anticipates buying the 32-mile Union Pacific railroad for $14.2 million by the end of the year. Many envision a future rail trail and perhaps passenger trains, though critics say the agency can't afford it.

Kiefer Sutherland will not be prosecuted for an alleged head-butting incident in May.
The case against the 24 star has been dropped, according to the New York District Attorney, who rejected the case, according to Entertainment Tonight.
See photos of today's top news stories.
"We declined to prosecute after a full investigation," the D.A. said Tuesday in a statement. "And that included speaking to the complaining witness who was quite uncooperative. Therefore, the D.A. declined to prosecute."
Sutherland and the designer he is accused of head-butting had previously announced that they had resolved their differences, clearing the way for the charges to be dropped.
Sutherland, 42, is also clear with the L.A. City Attorney's office, which investigated the actor for a possible probation violation. (He is currently serving a five-year probation term following a DUI conviction in 2007.)
The actor was charged with third-degree assault after he allegedly bashed heads with Proenza Schouler's Jack McCollough, who accidentally bumped into Brooke Shields at a Met Gala after-party May 5. Multiple outlets reported that Sutherland was intoxicated.

Naturiste La Chiappa in Porto Vecchio:
This was the worst holiday we have ever had. The cabins were dirty and hadn't been painted for years. The cabin had masses of ants and roaches in the ceiling. The rooms were never cleaned despite repeated requests.
The beach was dirty and smelled on H2S (the new alga bloom?).
The Kids Club was very poor - just painting. No swimming or activities as indicated in the brochure. The Kids Club, mini-golf, etc. was all extra charges.
People in the camp-site told us that the cabins were known to be a massive rip-off. But so was the restaurant (beer €5.60) and shop (wine from Casino at €4.40 was €9.95 in site shop).
Disgusting and expensive!

All-night revision for exam? Sleep on it
New Delhi, 29 April 2012: Staying up all night to revise your exam syllabus just one more time might not be a great idea after all. Far from brushing up your memory, it might lead you to forget most of what you learned.
Recent research by the School of Life Sciences(SLS) in Jawaharlal Nehru University has revealed that sleep plays a significant role in encoding information and retaining what is learned through the day. So after a day of cramming, if you are sleep-deprived, chances are you will remember very little. The research team led by Dr Sushil Jha found that rats deprived of sleep for six hours just after learning a task couldn't perform the same task well the next day while the other group that got adequate sleep replicated it.
The laboratory is now working on establishing that learning, in turn, changes sleep pattern. "Yes, if you have gone through any kind of training or learning, you may sleep more. This is not because you are tired but because memory consolidation needs proper sleep. Sleep also activates the brain's protein synthesis machinery which helps consolidate memory. Further, sleep helps in brain development, which is why babies sleep more," said Jha, assistant professor of neuroscience at SLS.
He added that this was the first time in India that research showed sleep deprivation impaired trace-learning in rats.
One of the studies by the team, on impairment of memory due to sleep deprivation, was published in Elsevier journal. "We used male Wistar rats that were taught a task using a paired stimulus of fruit juice and light. Juice was always given after presenting light as a cue to them in their chamber. While all the rats were taught these cues, one group of rats was not allowed to sleep for six hours after learning and the other was allowed to sleep. Next morning, when we gave the cues again, the sleep-deprived rats showed an impaired performance. They poked the juice 45.72% less than the non-sleep deprived group," said Jha.
Recent research from the University of Notre Dame also shows that going to sleep shortly after learning new material is most beneficial for recall. The study was performed with 207 students and concluded that recall was best when students slept for sometime right after lessons.
"If a person is stressed then the retrieval phenomenon of memories is also impaired. The health of the person is also compromised if he/she does not get proper sleep. That is why most people who are sleep deprived also tend to suffer from hypertension, diabetes, obesity and insomnia. These health conditions are related," he added.
Another recent study by the group published in 'Frontiers in Neurology' looks at the function of rapid eye m(REM) sleep state in maintaining a long spell of sleep. The study suggests that when one is in deep sleep (non-REM sleep), breathing rate goes down and that is why CO2 level increases in the body. REM sleep eliminates excess CO2 from the body and helps maintain uninterrupted sleep.

Deputies unable to make 'head or tail' of Atlantic City situationJul 15, 2013 By Katie Roenigk, Staff Writer
Deputies responded to a disorderly situation at about 11:50 p.m. July 3 at the Atlantic City Mercantile.
No one was injured or arrested in the incident, and officials said it was difficult to determine what actually happened in the small mountain town.
"It was a very large disorderly situation that involved several people," Undersheriff Ryan Lee said Friday. "There was alcohol involved, (and) we ended up with several different stories. ... We couldn't make head or tail of what was going on."
The initial call involved a man who reportedly yelled that he needed a deputy at the mercantile. He then hung up the phone, but dispatchers said they could hear yelling in the background.
No one answered the phone when officials tried to call the reporting party back at about 11:55 p.m., but two minutes later someone else reported that a subject was attempting to fight multiple people in the store. The subject reportedly had a rifle, but he later told dispatchers that he didn't have a gun.
"(His) speech is slurred," the dispatcher reported.
Lee said some people involved did have firearms in their possession, but no threats were made with the guns.
"They weren't pointed at anybody," Lee said.
Just after midnight Thursday dispatchers asked reporting parties to "get everybody away from the merc." The group reportedly moved "to the edge" of the store and had plans to move to a nearby restaurant. One woman said her shoulder was hurt, and someone had pulled her hair, but she did not want an ambulance.
At about 12:15 a.m., a group of people "next door" reportedly came to the mercantile and "broke into there and assaulted" a man in the store.
Once deputies arrived on scene, however, Lee said everyone seemed to have calmed down.
"All the parties were separated, and we took control of the situation," he said.

Could you please be more verbose. Sorry, I have a bad habit of being too brief. :-) There have been requests to accept Oracle-specific grammar.

Penn State DE Deion Barnes to enter 2015 NFL draft
Penn State defensive end Deion Barnes will enter the 2015 NFL Draft, the school announced on Tuesday.
Over 13 games this season, Barnes recorded six sacks, 12.5 tackles for loss, three quarterback hurries and 44 total tackles. The junior was an All-Big Ten honorable mention.
In three seasons, Barnes notched 98 tackles, 14.0 sacks and 26.5 tackles for loss. He was named the conference's freshman of the year in 2012.
"Can't believe I've walked my last time out of the tunnel," Barnes said in a news release. "I want to thank the Penn State family for being with me through the rough times. They're the best fans in the nation. I'm going to miss playing in front of 107,000.
• ROSENBERG: Jim Harbaugh explains his move back to Michigan
"I talked with my family and we believe it's best for me to move forward and forgo my fifth year. I want to thank the fans one more time and I want to thank Penn State for the opportunity you've given me. This has been the best four years of my life. I love y'all so much."
Penn State coach James Franklin also lauded Barnes' contributions to the Nittany Lions program.
"Our staff wants to thank Deion for all he's done here at Penn State and we wish him all the best in the NFL," Franklin said. "Deion has been great contributor for us on the field and earned his degree earlier this month. We're excited to watch him take the next step."
Penn State announced earlier this week that offensive tackle Donovan Smith would also enter the draft.

HUDSON — The small, oval pool at the Forest Green Mobile Home Park was filled with swimmers Sunday night.
As the adults watched, children played in the pool and the nearby playground. But for a few minutes, everyone lost sight of 3-year-old Kayla Echevarria.
About 7:30 p.m., a 14-year-old boy noticed something hit his foot near the pool's steps. It was Kayla's body.
Investigators from the Pasco County Sheriff's Office interviewed at least seven witnesses, spokesman Doug Tobin said.
"Everyone seemed to think that somebody else was looking after her," he said.
Kayla's mother, Priscilla Ruiz of 10428 Bream Drive, was also at the pool but was too distraught to speak to sheriff's deputies, Tobin said. Ruiz could not be reached for comment Monday.
An employee at the mobile home park, which is on Hudson Avenue west of Hicks Road, would not give his name and said, "It was an accident." He then told a Times reporter to leave.
After Kayla's body was discovered, adults tried unsuccessfully to revive her on the pool deck. She was airlifted to All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, where she was pronounced dead.
A death investigation is ongoing, and the Sheriff's Office could file charges, Tobin said. The Department of Children and Families will also an investigation, he said.
Nomaan Merchant can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or (727) 869-6244.

FRONTIER TRUCK A FAVORITE FOR ROAD RACING CHAMPIONSHIP Nissan Driver Schmitt Third in Points After Winning at Crandon
GARDENA, Calif. (June 29, 1999)-After two Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) events, Nissan Frontier driver Art Schmitt, from Pittsburgh, Penn., stands third in the Exxon Superflo Pro Series championship. With one victory and two third place finishes under his belt, Schmitt feels good about his chances of winning the Pro-Lite's title for two-wheel drive, four cylinder light duty trucks.
"We built an all new Frontier off road racing truck for this season," said Schmitt, who finished second in the championship last year with the Frontier. "The first race was like a test session for us, but now that we've had some track time with the new truck it feels very good. At our last race in Crandon, we were very fast compared to the competition. We still have some improvements left to make so there is great potential with this truck."
The first venue for the 1999 CORR Exxon Superflo Pro Series was June 11 to 13 at Antigo County Fairgrounds in Antigo, Wis. The event included two 15-minute Pro-Lite division sprint races on the off-road course, which featured treacherous jumps and fast straight-aways.
Showing up with a brand new Frontier race truck and an engine prepared by Nissan Motorsports, Schmitt scored a disappointing 12th in the first round. The team turned things around the next day though, and placed third in the season's second race.
Before heading to the June 25 to 27 event at Crandon International Off Road Raceway in Crandon, Wis., Schmitt tested his Nissan Frontier for two weeks. The effort paid off for the team. Schmitt was unbeatable against the Toyota and Ford trucks in round three, winning the race after taking the lead at the first turn of the 1.75-mile course. In round four, he finished third, keeping the Nissan Frontier in the running for the championship battle.
Lee O'Donnell, from Bayonne, N.J., also fielded a Nissan Frontier in the first three rounds of the CORR series, finishing fifth in the first and third races. Running the same Frontier truck that won three races last year with Schmitt behind the wheel, O'Donnell currently ranks 10th in the championship.
The Championship Off Road Racing action continues with six more events this year including, the crown jewel of the series, the World Championships at Crandon International Off Road Raceway from Sept. 3 to 5. All eight of the CORR Exxon Superflo Pro Series events will be televised on ESPN 2.

The fight was recorded on a cell phone and initially put on YouTube, but later taken down because it was considered too shocking and violent, reports CBS Philadelphia. However, Philadelphia police on Wednesday released an edited version of the video, which ends with a Rangers fan lying stunned on the street.
Police say the brawl began with some Flyers fans stopping a window-washer who happened to be passing by, reports CBS Philadelphia.
Capt. Laurence Nodiff with the Philadelphia Police Department reportedly explained that they, "Gave him a couple bucks and said, 'Hey go over to those Rangers fans and squirt some water in their faces.' Apparently, he goes over and squirts some water and they jump up and the guy runs away."
Investigators say the rival fans got into a verbal dispute that quickly became physical after a man in a Flyers jersey threw the first punch. Two other men join in the fight, which also involves a second Rangers fan.
One of the men who was beaten is an off-duty Woodbridge, NJ police officer, reports CBS New York. He was reportedly taken to a local hospital and required stitches to close his wounds. He's now recovering at his home in New Jersey

text: Good evening (or whatever), There's every chance I've been guilty of doing a man-look, but I'm having problems finding the most apt place to post this so I'm posting it here, please set flame throwers to stun. I'm wanting to donate some time to the Debian documentation project, so the immediate questions are: Who do I get in contact with to get a heads up on what needs doing? What's the best way of contributing. TIA, Nick

It's so easy to do. Unlike other cooks I've never compiled a notebook of what I've done in the past for future reference. I don't have time to get into it: writing down meats and cheeses temps and hours smoked and wood chips and rubs and mops used and foiled or unfoiled. I just remember the important stuff that I did. I'll remember that this last time I smoked 3 racks of St. Louis ribs and didn't foil them and the result was thicker bark. I already remember that I've twice smoked baby backs and foiled them and what rubs and mops I used and the temp I cooked them at and about how long and how they turned out. But each time I smoke I learn something new whether it's what to repeat or what not to do again.
I'm not trying to raise my smoking skills to competition level. I'm just trying to be the best smoker I can be in my own backyard and to please whoever eats at my table.
I agree with you 100% about not trying to raise your skills to competition level. I smoke the way I like to, and like my Q just fine. Not saying I don't have a million things to learn, just doing it my way.
Sorry, one more post. This is a photo from Jeff's current newsletter. I've produced smoked ribs that look just like these. I don't like heavy black bark on my pork ribs or beef brisket. I don't like the texture or the taste. This is my favorite style and the one my family prefers. Use the 3-2-1 method (or 2-2-1 or other variations) and you'll get this result every time.
No apology needed, I was reading his newsletter as well and that is the way I like my ribs also. I'm not sure how I like beef brisket, never had a lot to make a good decision.
I can't stop looking at those ribs!! Sure is a purrdy picture!!

Fashion and Color Resonate
By: Nancy Jeffries
Posted: September 28, 2006
The Fashion Group International (FGI) welcomed color expert Leatrice Eiseman, director, Eiseman Center for Color, to present "Looking for Color Trends: The Bridge Between Design Disciplines." Margaret Hayes, president, FGI, enumerated some of Eiseman's accomplishments, most recently as the prime consultant for Pantone and the author of More Alive with Color. "In looking for color trends, we have to look at the fashion industry," noted Eiseman. She cited the example of colors moving from the runways to the areas of home design and commercial design. In referring to the latest stylized shoe horn creation by Manolo Blahnik, shaped like a shoe with a curved stiletto heel, Eiseman quipped, "Now you can have a pair of Manolo's from Conran's for $39.95 apiece."
On the cosmetics and beauty forefront, Eiseman said, "Beauty and cosmetics are all about color, and the beauty industry marches to its own drum. The cosmetic industry has always been ahead of the pack, and it's up to individual designers to make a choice." She cited Lauder's use of chocolate shades, and the trend to grow chocolate and maroon colored flowers, noting a flower farm devoted to growing maroon and chocolate calla lilies. Eiseman also presented her summer 2007 palette. "The big word is evolution," she said, adding that color will reflect personal backgrounds, cultural relationships with color, and the emotional aspect of colors.

Pricing Structure
Our pricing structure is totally dependent on the shipping cost and where you are located in the CONUS (Continental United States). We are happy to ship anywhere in the world, but please understand that special arrangements will have to be made. Anything outside of the CONUS will have to be handled on an individual basis. All of our Klipsch products ship FOB, Charlotte, NC 28217.
There are many things that make up the pricing structure for your speakers. Let me begin by explaining how the ordering process takes place and go from there. Klipsch Factory, Hope, AK does not "Drop Ship" directly to the customer. They ship directly to their Dealer network and the Dealer has the total responsibility of getting the product delivered to the customer. Some very large Klipsch Dealer's stock Klipsch products in their individual warehouses, we do not stock but a few speakers as most are ordered directly from the Factory and made for you. We usually keep on hand, a set of Heresy's, La Scala's and Cornwall's, that we use for demos in our showrooms. We will be adding items from the reference lines in the future, but we really do not want to carry a large inventory of speakers as we really have NO idea of what you would like to order. Most everything we do is "Special Order" and that allows us to give you the best pricing that we can as each order is handled as a personal experience. Our Company Motto is: "You are not just getting a set of speakers; you are gaining a Friendship, along with the sale".
Once you decide on what you would like us to order for you and prices are agreed upon, we prepare an Invoice and assign a Purchase Order number to it. This number will be reflected on every piece of paper you receive from us and is the number that the Factory uses for billing and manufacturing, to us. This invoice will come to you either by snail mail or electronically through email for your approval, prior to being sent to the factory for production. Your speakers are not sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting for you to pick them up nor are they "B" Stock speakers that have been sitting in someone's warehouse for years. When you order from us, your speakers are manufactured to the specifications that we supply to the Klipsch Factory for the order. That is the sole reason that it will take between two and eight weeks for your order to be completed. Depending on what the Factory is running at the time, your speakers will have to be "Inserted" into the Production Schedule. We know that this sounds like a lot to go through, but it is the only true way of assuring you that you are getting genuine Klipsch speakers, made especially for you.
The vast majority of our shipments will come by pre-paid freight. Please beware of other sellers that say "Free Shipping" as there is usually some type of catch, which is associated in the "Free" part. We have found that there is usually nothing Free in life. We include the shipping cost into the total price that we give you for the speakers. This is the main reason that total prices for similar items may be different for each individual. Things that need to be considered in our delivery cost are:
- Does the customer have access to a loading Dock?
- Is there a forklift available for off loading the pallet(s)?
- How many pallets will be involved in the shipment
- Is customer's location near a big City or are they remotely located?
- Will the customer require "LiftGate" delivery to their home? (This is an additional charge and usually handled by a local delivery contractor.)
- Time frame for delivery and scheduling for outgoing shipments
- Does the order need to be expedited? (Additional Charge – Usually Substantial)
As you can see, the shipping will impact the final pricing for the cost of your speakers. We have found that our pricing is still a lot less than our closest competitor and we guarantee delivery to your location at NO additional cost, other than expedited and tail Gate services. There are NO hidden costs when you deal with us, period! The price that we give you is the Delivered Price to your local loading dock or your doorstep, which ever you choose.
It is our understanding that Klipsch tried "Drop" shipping on freight items in the past and it was a very difficult situation for them. Things like No Loading Dock on the customers end, Customer could not be contacted for delivery, Delivery times not the same, Customer had to wait all day, shipment damage and a myriad of other reasons that made Klipsch want their Dealers to handle freight deliveries directly with the customer. When you think about it, it makes total sense and allows us, the Dealers, to stay involved until the final delivery of the product, to the customer. Of course, we are discussing Freight (Pallets and Loading Docks) and not FedEx or UPS box deliveries. Again, most of the speakers we sell fall into the Freight category, not general Box deliveries. We of course, will ship UPS, FedEx if the size falls into their delivery capabilities.
The way our ordering works is:
1. You contact Panacea Engineering and let us know what you would like to order. This usually requires some time on the phone, emails or a combination of both. You will find that we are great communicators and try to cover everything that you will need to know about your purchase.
2. After you have made your decision on what you want, you will need to decide on how you can take delivery. Some people have access to loading docks and fork lifts, or know someone that does. Other times it will require what we call "Tail Gate" delivery to your home address. This basically means that the truck has a Hydraulic Lift Gate on the rear and can off load the Pallets (Speakers) to your front yard or driveway. Sometimes the only available place will be the street. This does NOT include getting the speakers un-crated and set inside your home. You will have to arrange for these services, if you can not find any friends or relatives to help with this. If you want, we will be happy to check with the "Local Delivery Company", for you, to see if they will unpack and set the Speakers inside your home. Please understand that this is something that you will contract with the Local Company and is NOT part of our delivery service. The coverage for shipping STOPS when the "Pallets Touch the Pavement". You can discuss this service with the Agent when he contacts you for delivery scheduling.

Powerball Winner Paul White is Hysterically Funny At Press Conference (Video)
The USA's newest Powerball winning millionaire, Paul White, now has about $150 million in his bank account. Well, the Ham Lake, Minnesota resident met with the media today and was entertaining, to say the least.
White is one of three winners who'll be splitting the $450 plus million dollar jackpot and is the first and only to come forward so far. And he entertained the press with his joke filled stories about nearly forgetting to buy a ticket, how he was 'too busy' to check his numbers, despite his wife telling him she thought they might be winners and his remarks about his now former employer: 'The morning he was my boss. Tomorrow he'll be my chauffeur.'

An unbeaten nine from Dean Academy will try to add the University Second team to its string of victims at 4 o'clock this afternoon on the Second team diamond. The Dean outfit has shown read strength all season and has a distinct edge over the Crimson in comparative scores. Wentworth fell before both teams, the Seconds 7 to 3 and Dean 9 to 2.
Coach Stewart's team, however, showed that an undefeated rival meant little when it topped St. John's School on Monday. Puffer will probably be on the mound this afternoon and the line-up will be the same.

Constitution Day Event To Celebrate Contributions Of Former Professor To Struggles For Racial Justice
ITHACA, NY — To celebrate Constitution Day 2008, Ithaca College will honor the contributions made by the late professor emeritus of politics Harvey Fireside to the struggles for racial justice in the United States. The event will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 4:00 p.m. in Clark Lounge, Egbert Hall. It is free and open to the public.
Constitution Day is an annual observance that commemorates the September 17, 1787, signing of the United States Constitution. Fireside taught for many years in the Department of Politics and wrote a number of books about the significance of constitutional law in mobilizing for civil rights. During this year's observance, former students and colleagues will celebrate the work of Fireside, who passed away this past February.
- Associate professor of politics Martin Brownstein will share Fireside's contributions to the Ithaca College community between 1968 and his retirement in 1996.
- Associate professor of politics Beth Harris will discuss Fireside's most recent book, "Separate and Unequal: Homer Plessy and the Supreme Court Decision That Legalized Racism."
- One of his first students, Shelley Keeling, will share her memories of Fireside.
- Bryna Fireside, Harvey's widow, will review his contributions to social justice, including his scholarship.
The observance will conclude with a showing of "The Jena 6," a 30-minute film about hidden racial inequality and violence that became visible in a small Louisiana town when black students tried to integrate a school yard.
The Constitution Day event is cosponsored by the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Department of Politics and Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival.

One of the most important decisions a marketer is called upon to make is the setting of price. In addition to strategic considerations (price is, after all, one of the four Ps), price should always be selected with an eye towards how price affects unit sales. One can get help negotiating the tradeoff between price and units sales by using a simple model of linear demand or by understanding price elasticity. Of course, our carefully constructed demand curves fly out the window if the competition drastically changes their prices. Although price premium is a metric that we can use to track how our prices are changing relative to a competitive benchmark, the real challenge is that pricing is a game or dance in which our fate depends, in part, on what our competitors do. These metrics and concepts here will help managers meet the pricing challenge.

"Does this look like a terrorist?" he asks in the spot, pointing at a white-haired white man in a tie. Then a darker-skinned man in a black t-shirt enters the frame as Fanelli asks, "or this?"
"It's time to stop this political correctness and the invasion of our privacy," he says. He then goes on to make an apparent joke about how he wouldn't mind being pulled out of line at the airport if "a good looking, ripped guy without much hair was flying airplanes into the twin towers."
The Washington Post's Greg Sargent, who first flagged the spot, interviewed Fanelli about it. The candidate, a pilot, insisted the spot wasn't intended to suggest that people with darker skin are more likely to be terrorists. The point, he said, was that people from countries like Iran and Iraq require more security.
"You can be light and from those countries," he said.
Fanelli also argued that people from the Middle East should support profiling.
"If the people that were doing this kind of thing looked like me, even though I'm not the guy doing the terrorist thing I would want to be examined more closely," he told Sargent.
Contacted for comment, Julie Tagen, a senior advisor to Grayson's campaign, said that "Mr. Fanelli is running in a very crowded Republican field."
"In the highly-unlikely event that he wins the nomination, Congressman Grayson will comment on his ads, however misguided or offensive they are," she said.

Before she was known as the outgoing hostess and namesake of the popular Japanese restaurant Miki-San, which she started in San Diego with her second husband, Miki Nakano was a Southern kid from Oklahoma who worked at erasing any trace of a regional accent.
Even at a young age, the former Minnie Alice Smith knew she wanted to live in California and speak like the people she heard on the radio. She made her way west after a stint as a "Rosie the Riveter," building airplanes in Kansas during World War II.
She settled in San Diego after the war and worked as a carhop at Oscar's Restaurant, a popular local drive-in chain, and as a ticket seller at the North Park Theatre. She picked up the nickname "Mickie" as a child and she changed the spelling in later years.
Mrs. Nakano died of malignant melanoma Jan. 16 in El Cajon. She was one day shy of her 88th birthday.
Friends and family said she was warm and gregarious and loved to sing. "She always had a smile on her face and she was very social," said friend Pat Hom.
Mrs. Nakano met her first husband, San Diego police Officer Howard Albright, while she was working at Oscar's. She was widowed in 1964 and later met George Nakano when the two were in a bowling league at Plaza Bowl in National City. They married in 1967 and started their own restaurant, which specialized in Hawaiian-Japanese cuisine.
George Nakano, who died in 1998, was a Japanese-American born in Maui and is credited with introducing many San Diegans to shrimp tempura, teppanyaki and sushi.
While her husband took care of the cooking, Mrs. Nakano ran the front of the restaurant and handled marketing and publicity. "She was like a social butterfly," said daughter Tami Albright Hansen. "Everyone knew her; she was the face of the restaurant."
The Nakanos outgrew their first restaurant, Mickie's Saimin in Chula Vista, and opened Miki-San in the Bankers Hill area in 1970, specializing in authentic Japanese food. Customers were usually greeted by Mrs. Nakano attired in colorful Hawaiian muumuus and sporting a fresh flower in her hair. "She had beautiful auburn hair … people were always surprised that Miki-San was a white woman," said daughter Patti Albright Ghio.
The couple closed the eatery, moved to Hawaii in 1977 and opened a restaurant in Maui, where Carol Burnett was reportedly one of its customers.
The Nakanos retired from the restaurant business in 1979 and Mrs. Nakano volunteered for many years at Kona Hospital until moving back to San Diego in 1990. In San Diego, she enjoyed performing with the Melodiers singing group and entertaining regularly at senior centers. She also liked gardening and karaoke.
Miki Albright Nakano was born Jan. 17, 1923, in St. Charles, Ark., to Ollie and Bryan Smith. She grew up in Cushing, Okla., one of six siblings.
She married Howard Albright in 1947, and the couple had three children. A son, Mike, was killed in Vietnam.
Mrs. Nakano is survived by two daughters, Patti Albright Ghio of San Diego and Tami Albright Hansen of Sunnyvale; two sisters, Ina Denny of Alpine and Vivian Kendrick of La Mesa; a brother, Benny Smith of Texas; and three grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 11:45 a.m. Feb. 25 at The Orchard, 4040 Hancock St., San Diego. The family suggests bright colors or aloha clothing.
