March 22, 2013 | Brian Brewer
The New York Observer is a great weekly newspaper providing all the latest on what's happening in and around New York City. As a nonprofit organization based in NYC, it's important that we stay on top of the goings-on here. It's one way for us to learn about the people—the celebrities, business leaders, politicians—who have potential to make significant gifts to the Cancer Research Institute.
As director of marketing and communications, a part of my job involves reading through a lot of different media sources. I'm always on the lookout for stories about cancer treatment breakthroughs—have you noticed how many there've been about cancer immunotherapy lately, by the way? Take this article that ran in the New York Times yesterday about a very promising new treatment approach that brings the best of immunology and genetic engineering together to create potentially life-saving new cancer therapies (we funded the work of Dr. Michel Sadelain, one of the lead scientists on this project). Or this cover story from Time magazine about the Dream Team model of cancer research, a model we fund in partnership with Stand Up To Cancer to create new cancer immunotherapies.
So there I am, looking for cancer stories, and I come across Observer Philanthropy, a special supplement devoted to philanthropy in New York City. This issue happened to include the first annual list of the 20 Most Important Young Philanthropists.
Young people are an important group we work hard to reach. They're the future leaders, and it's important that we engage them now in our mission in hopes that we develop a lifelong relationship that benefits them and our mission. That's why we established the CRI Young Philanthropists Council five years ago. We wanted to find a way to harness all the energy that young people bring to a problem as monolithic as cancer. And to do it we knew we needed to make it fun and worthwhile. The Young Philanthropists have not disappointed. In the past five year's they've raised close to $150,000 from other young people in the New York City area. All monies support the Cancer Research Institute Young Philanthropists Postdoctoral Fellow, currently Dr. Katharina Kreymborg, a young cancer researcher at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
As I'm flipping through Observer Philanthropy I find the list of 20 people under age 40 the magazine considers the top young philanthropists in New York City. Some of the names listed include Eric Trump (yes, that Trump), Laura Bush Lauren (niece of George W. and daughter-in-law of Ralph), Gabby Karan de Felice (daughter of fashion designer Donna Karan), and Amanda Hearst (heiress to William Randolph Hearst's media empire).
Then I recognize a familiar face on the page. It's Alexis Feldman, chair of the CRI Young Philanthropists Council. Next to her photo is a write up about her work with the Cancer Research Institute and the Mentoring Partnership of New York.
I'm always thrilled to see Cancer Research Institute's name in print. The more people who learn about our important mission, the better. But it gave me a special joy to see Alexis' face. I've attended several of the Young Philanthropists benefits she and her fellow council members have organized, and I always have a great time with Alexis. She really cares about the quality of the event and has demonstrated exceptional leadership that has been instrumental to the council's success.
So, congratulations to Alexis. It's great to see when people who give up so much time (and money) in service to charitable causes are given recognition like this.

Frank Lampard took part last month in a unique celebration of his historic 203 goals for Chelsea, and fans can win some of the balls involved.
adidas produced 203 balls specially numbered and marked with the details of a match when the record-breaking midfielder found the net for the club. They were arranged at Stamford Bridge in a corresponding position to where he struck them on the day of the goal, with impressive pictures as a result.
Now the Megastore at Stamford Bridge and the club's store in Kingston have 30 of the balls,signed by Lampard, to give away as exclusive prizes.
To enter this prize draw, simply purchase a Lampard 2013/14 home shirt and complete an entry form at the till and hand it in.
The competition closes on 9 July.

Zac Posen(NEW YORK) Zac Posen took at trip to the '30s as well, but it was Art Deco he brought back instead. His show spared no flourish or sinuous detail, but judgments like "over-the-top" have no place beside such brilliant silhouettes. The skirts alone were fit for a feast—sweeping, wave-like mermaids, A-line ball gowns with hems that curled up as delicately as a flower's, accordion pleats with intermittent braids that made the fabric move like a mirage. He also showed off his assured hand as a draper, and the back of one onyx-glossy LBD draped down to the small of the model's back like a fast-unfurling storm cloud. |page| His bold jewel tones, which tended toward fuchsia and green, were put to perfect use on Deco-licious, daring color-blocked dresses. While many of his seniors use the cruise season as little more than a warm-weather place-holder, Posen made major strides.

Athletes and sports competitors participate in organized, officiated sports events to entertain spectators. They often work irregular hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. They usually work more than 40 hours a week several months during the sports season.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
Athletes generally do the following:
Few people who dream of becoming a paid professional athlete beat the odds and make a full-time living at it. And when they do, they often have short careers with little job security. When playing a game, athletes and sports competitors must understand the game strategies while obeying the rules and regulations of the sport. The events in which athletes compete include team sports, such as baseball, softball, hockey, and soccer, and individual sports, such as golf, tennis, swimming, and skiing. The level of play varies greatly, where sometimes the best from around the world compete in events broadcast on international television.
Being an athlete involves more than competing in athletic events. Athletes spend many hours each day practicing skills and improving teamwork under the guidance of a coach or a sports instructor. They view videotapes to critique their own performances and techniques and to learn their opponents' tendencies and weaknesses so as to gain a competitive advantage. . Some athletes work regularly with strength trainers to gain muscle and stamina and to prevent injury. Many athletes push their bodies to the limit during both practice and play, so career-ending injury is always a risk; even minor injuries may put a player at risk of replacement.
Because competition at all levels is extremely intense and job security is always in question, many athletes train throughout the year to maintain excellent form and technique and peak physical condition. Very little downtime from the sport exists at the professional level.
Most athletes develop their skills by playing the sport at some level. Regardless of the level, they must have extensive knowledge of the way the sport is played, especially its rules, regulations, and strategies. They often learn by playing the sport in school or at a recreation center, with the help of instructors or coaches, or in a camp that teaches the fundamentals of the sport.
Athletes get their training in several ways. For most team sports, athletes gain experience by competing in high school and collegiate athletics or on club teams. Other athletes learn their sport by taking private or group lessons, such as in gymnastics or tennis. Some sports and localities require athletes to be licensed or certified to practice. For example, in drag racing, drivers need to graduate from approved schools to be licensed to compete in the various drag racing series. The governing body of the sport may revoke licenses and suspend players who do not meet the required performance, education, or training. In addition, athletes may have their licenses or certification suspended for inappropriate activity.
More than half of all athletes are employed in the spectator sports industry. Those who participate in competitions that are held outdoors may be exposed to all weather conditions of the season in which they play their sport. Additionally, they must travel to sporting events, which may include long bus rides or, in some cases, international air travel.
The median annual wage of athletes and sports competitors was $43,740 in May 2010. (The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount, and half earned less.) The lowest 10% earned less than $17,120, and the top 10% earned more than $166,400.

Animal testing is the beauty industry's ugly secret, but Humane Society International is leading the largest-ever global campaign to end this shameful practice. Our Be Cruelty-Free campaign was instrumental in making Europe the world's largest cruelty-free cosmetics zone, and in achieving an India-wide ban on animal testing for cosmetics. But we're not stopping there.
Up next: New Zealand. With its animal welfare legislation currently under review, New Zealand is positioned to become the next country to ban cosmetics animal testing. But we need your help—for the sake of the rabbits, guinea pigs and other gentle animals who could fall victim to this horrible cruelty.
TAKE ACTION: Ask Prime Minister John Key to make New Zealand the next country to Be Cruelty-Free by banning animal testing for cosmetics.
Ask New Zealand's Prime Minister to ban animal testing on comestic products. Click "Submit" when finished.
Your information:
Send this message to Prime Minister John Key now:
Dear Prime Minister,
I urge the Government of New Zealand to join the European Union, Israel and India by banning animal testing for cosmetic products and their ingredients.
Public opinion overwhelmingly favours such a ban, and the success of hundreds of cruelty-free companies like LUSH and JASON is proof that animal testing isn't necessary to produce safe, innovative and profitable cosmetics. These corporate leaders refuse to test their products on animals, or to use new raw ingredients that have been animal-tested by supply companies, relying instead on thousands of already-available ingredients with histories of safe use, together with modern non-animal testing methods. There's simply no excuse for any company to continue testing cosmetic products or ingredients on animals.
The review of New Zealand's Animal Welfare Act provides the perfect opportunity for your country to join the global cruelty-free revolution and set a positive example for others to follow. I urge you, Prime Minister, not to miss this opportunity to score a win for animals, consumer safety, and your country's reputation. The world is watching.

On the eve of a battle between the teams sitting in second and third in the Barclays Premier League table, Rafael Benitez says he expects the fight to finish in the top four to go right to the wire.
The Spaniard takes his side to the Etihad Stadium tomorrow lunchtime to take on Manchester City, who are currently four points ahead of us, knowing a win would increase the pressure on Roberto Mancini's side, but regardless of the result, he believes there is still plenty of time for things to change between now and the end of the season.
'We have had a lot of games,' said the Blues boss. 'If you win the Champions League and FA Cup you have to play the Super Cup and the Community Shield, and then we had Japan, so it was quite difficult.
'We had a few injuries as well so it was even more difficult, but now we have 22 players and we can manager in a better way, compete in different competitions and keep a good team on the pitch. I am quite positive that the team can do well.
'You always want to finish as high as possible, that's the challenge. We will finish second if we can, the next game is a massive one and then we'll see where we are, but I still think at the end of the season we'll all be fighting each other.'
Benitez was also eager to praise the mentality and work-rate of his players since he took charge, and he believes the late goal against Sparta Prague on Thursday was just reward for their positive attitude in matches.
'I know how things are working here, we have a good atmosphere,' he explained. 'I know what the players think about football because we talk about it every day. My job is to convince them we are doing the right things and I think they are convinced.
'The only way as a manager is to give players something to think about, if they think it's right they will follow you. I can see the commitment is there, the positive thing against Sparta was that we scored a late goal because we kept on pushing.'
With Benitez reporting that he hopes to have every member of his squad, aside from Oriol Romeu, fit and available, he has the luxury of being able to rotate players in order to cope with the demands of playing twice a week.
One area, in particular, where the manager now has selection problems for all the right reasons is in the centre of defence.
John Terry completed the full 90 minutes in our last two matches, but the manager, as he explained, doesn't want to take any unnecessary risks with the skipper.
'If you ask me whether he can play [against Manchester City], I would say yes. If you ask me whether he has to play, I need to analyse our other options,' said Benitez.
'At the moment we have four centre-backs, which is really good for me because before we only had two. It's easier for me now; we have another training session before the game so we will see how they all are.
'John's an important player for us; he's a great character and a leader but we have quality in this position.
'[Gary] Cahill and [Branislav] Ivanovic have been doing really well, and we have David Luiz as another option, so we need to choose the right option for each game, especially when we play two a week.'

Best practice for HKCU adds/app installs needed
Posted 05 November 2012 - 11:43 AM
In the past, I found out some tricks to successfully tinker a customized Windows XP installation including default user profile & system settings, unattended apps (Flash plugin) and paths (winnt.sif).
I'd like to get something similar for Windows 7 x64 sp1. I realized a working autounattend.xml and a $oem$ structure.
This is my current situation:
I can't use autounattend.xml (oobeSystem, FirstLogonCommands...) for running scripts (cmd) that peek into %UserProfile%, because no user exists then.
A RunOnceEx mechanism is gone, so I'm looking for some sort of substitute to execute my scripts at a later date (T+x instead of T-x).
For the nonce, there are shortcuts.cmd (moving & deleting links), userpics.cmd (tidying up "usertiles") and views.cmd (customizing Windows Explorer view via registry).
I don't want to create users, I only adjust the local Administrator account (no domain stuff either). Optionally, I'd also like to initiate a few silent installers (Flash plugin etc.).
There should be several ways to achieve this, like manipulating the file install.wim with DISM or executing scripts afterwards.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Posted 05 November 2012 - 06:43 PM
You can add things to "DEFAULT" user account, if you need to load the "HKCU" you'll find that in NTUSER.DAT in the Users\Default folder.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 01:05 AM
I do most of that with DVD\sources\$OEM$ http://www.msfn.org/...-an-oem-folder/
and RunOnceEx is still alive and well even on Win 8

Posted 06 November 2012 - 08:33 AM
@Tripredacus: I'm unsure how to import registry files.
That way would really facilitate things...
@maxXPsoft: Yes, that was my first idea. Actually, I have:
W7DVD Autounattend.xml W7DVD\sources\$oem$ $$ $$\setup\scripts ← setupcomplete.cmd, activate.cmd... $1 $1\a_tmp_folder $1\Install ← RunOnceEx.cmd, shortcuts.cmd, userpics.cmd, views.cmd...
I commented out the <FirstLogonCommands> section of my Autounattend.xml as setupcomplete.cmd will be processed anyway.
My setupcomplete.cmd contains:
@echo off start /wait C:\Windows\setup\scripts\activate.cmd start /wait C:\Install\RunOnceEx.cmd exit/b 0And a (basic) RunOnceEx.cmd looks like this:
@echo off SetLocal enableextensions Set K=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx Reg add %K% /f Reg add %K% /f /v Flags /t REG_DWORD /d "20" Reg add %K% /f /v Title /d "Post setup" Reg add %K%\10 /f /ve /d "User Pictures" Reg add %K%\10 /f /v 1 /d "%SystemDrive%\Install\userpics.cmd" Reg add %K%\20 /f /ve /d "Explorer Views & Shortcuts" Reg add %K%\20 /f /v 1 /d "%SystemDrive%\Install\views.cmd" Reg add %K%\20 /f /v 2 /d "%SystemDrive%\Install\shortcuts.cmd" Reg add %K%\30 /f /ve /d "Reboot" Reg add %K%\30 /f /v 1 /d "shutdown.exe /f /r /t 50" REM rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess EndLocal Exit/b 0However, something has to be wrong, I cannot tell if SetupComplete.cmd or RunOnceEx.cmd is the culprit.
(The RunOnceEx.cmd doesn't look so much differently from what I did in the past.)
My test installation (VMware) stalls with the following screen, not loading Desktop settings for the first time:
bl_scr.png 6.66KB 5 downloads
I'll comment out the 2nd line of setupcomplete.cmd and try again, I'm quite clueless right now.

Use Firstlogoncommands but then you wouldn't need the RunOnceEx unless you want to do something on reboot. I delete Install folder with that
REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce /V DelInstall /D "Cmd /C RMDIR %systemdrive%\Install\ /S /Q" /f
You could just call your file in Firstlogoncommands and remove the REM rundll32 or add all your files there and run them
<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <Description>Running Firstlogon.cmd</Description> <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Firstlogon.cmd</CommandLine> </SynchronousCommand>
Edited by maxXPsoft, 06 November 2012 - 09:08 AM.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 01:54 PM
You meant to delete the lines:
Reg add %K%\30 ...
and to re-active/uncomment:
rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess
2. The file Autounattend.xml now reads
... <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>start /wait %systemdrive%\Windows\setup\scripts\activate.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> <RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput> </SynchronousCommand> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\RunOnceEx.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>2</Order> <RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> ...The 1st command is correctly processed, but not the 2nd. Don't know why.
Just the setup won't stall this time. RunOnceEx, however, still doesn't work.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 02:21 PM
I meant you could probably run all your cmd's one after another instead of the 1 file doing the RunOnceEx
Posted 09 November 2012 - 03:27 PM
Now I've got a RunOnceEx functionality -- sort of.
It isn't really unattended, which means: The cmd instances stay open, and must be closed manually.
I don't know why, I checked with exit, exit /b 0... and so forth.
My current RunOnceEx.cmd reads:
@echo off SetLocal enableextensions Set K=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx Reg add %K% /f Reg add %K% /f /v Flags /t REG_DWORD /d 20 Reg add %K% /f /v Title /d "Post setup" Reg add %K%\10 /f /ve /d "Console" Reg add %K%\10 /f /v 1 /d "reg import %SystemDrive%\Install\console.reg" Reg add %K%\20 /f /ve /d "Remove unnecessary fonts" Reg add %K%\20 /f /v 1 /d "%SystemDrive%\Install\rm_extra_fonts.cmd" Reg add %K%\30 /f /ve /d "User Pictures" Reg add %K%\30 /f /v 1 /d "%SystemDrive%\Install\userpics.cmd" Reg add %K%\40 /f /ve /d "Views & Shortcuts" Reg add %K%\40 /f /v 1 /d "%SystemDrive%\Install\rm_views.cmd" Reg add %K%\40 /f /v 2 /d "%SystemDrive%\Install\shortcuts.cmd" Reg add %K%\50 /f /ve /d "IE9 Flash ActiveX" Reg add %K%\50 /f /v 1 /d "%SystemDrive%\Install\flPlayer_ax.exe" Reg add %K%\60 /f /ve /d "Silent Visual C++ Redistributable" Reg add %K%\60 /f /v 1 /d "%SystemDrive%\Install\vcRedist.exe auto" Reg add %K%\70 /f /ve /d "Reboot" Reg add %K%\70 /f /v 1 /d "shutdown.exe /r /t 100" rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess EndLocal Exit /b 0In my Autounattend.xml I edited the CommandLines to read:
<FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait %systemdrive%\Windows\setup\scripts\activate.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\RunOnceEx.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>2</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands>I don't see a difference stuffing single commands into <SynchronousCommand> sections or calling one cmd containing the necessary commands.
Well, what might that be...?
Posted 09 November 2012 - 03:34 PM
Reg add %K%\20 /f /v 1 /d "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\Install\rm_extra_fonts.cmd"
Posted 09 November 2012 - 05:44 PM
Posted 11 November 2012 - 02:14 PM
In short: It didn't work with cmd /c start /wait %SystemDrive%\Install\rm_extra_fonts.cmd.
After removing the start /wait part, finally the cmd instance auto-closed. (Combined with hidec.exe /w an output may be completely hidden.)
Checking the test installation I noticed that several changes of the cmd scripts weren't carried out properly.
I had to execute rm_views.cmd and shortcuts.cmd again manually, that's annoying.
I assume that it has to do with the moment when the Windows graphics (theme) is loaded, all my cmd scripts run before.
In Windows XP I sorted shortcuts with a VBS script at one of the last RunOnceEx entries (and I remember that at first it didn't work as expected).
Registry files are also not fully applied (e.g. via reg import HKCU.reg) yet.
In some thread I saw an example of a cmd script (copying stuff to a virgin installation) with several Timeout /t 1 in it.
Do you use this command and if so, under which circumstances?

I found another one that's working for me. In fact, it's rather simple:
A user profile must be accomplished before messing with shortcuts...
Reg add %K%\100 /f /ve /d "Shortcuts"
Reg add %K%\100 /f /v 1 /d "reg.exe add \"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\" /f /v 1 /d %SystemDrive%\Install\shortcuts.cmd"
Reg add %K%\100 /f /v 2 /d "reg.exe add \"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\" /f /v 2 /d %SystemDrive%\Install\cleanup.cmd"
Reg add %K%\110 /f /ve /d "Reboot"
Reg add %K%\110 /f /v 1 /d "shutdown.exe /r /t 30"
Also, tidying up the system partition is reasonably done then, too.

text: First, a properly built shower is waterproof BEFORE the tile is installed, so the grout type used shouldn't be a big consideration except for durability and reliability. Epoxy grout is a waterproof plastic, so no, once cured, it is not affected by water. Cement based grouts are somewhat porous and a sealer helps keep them clean. An epoxy grout does not absorb any sealer, so it's not useful.

It is difficult to understand that a governing body can take your thoughts into account and yet make a decision contrary to what you believe is best. It is easy to assume at that point that your voice "wasn't heard." It is harder, although critical, to try to understand that issues facing our school district are complex and difficult, and that board members must weigh so many different sources of input and information. Unfortunately, one night of heartfelt remarks does not constitute the whole story.
We would especially like to thank the students who spoke or wrote letters to us to convey their thoughts. It takes courage to speak for what you believe in, and we commend you on your courage. We also thank all the students who have spoken privately to us for your contributions as well.
Whether or not you agree with the decisions that we make, please know that the members of the Ridgway Board of Education always act out of what we believe is in the best interest of the students of Ridgway Schools. We know, as well, that each of you acts out of that same interest for students. If we all work from the position that we are each doing our best and have the best interest of our children in mind, then we can disagree on individual decisions, and still travel together on our journey toward the best possible schools for our kids.

Making the Most of EU Funds for Roma (MtM) is an instrument to connect the Decade of Roma Inclusion objectives to EU financial resources and thus support European, national, and local governments in realizing the targets of the Roma Decade. Through project development assistance, financial and human capacity-building, and advocacy, the program seeks to create a critical mass of concerned governmental actors at all levels to keep Roma inclusion high on the policy agenda. MtM is concerned with problems such as the weak visibility of Roma issues in the implementation of EU cohesion policies at the national and local levels; resource and expertise disadvantages; and overly bureaucratic funding procedures, which block access of the most deprived to rights and opportunities.
Our Tools
Project Generating Facility
The Project Generating Facility is one intervention of the Making the Most which is aimed at building capacity of stakeholders at the local level to articulate Roma concerns as part of the local development agenda and to access EU funding in order to address these concerns. Started in 2008-2009 and continued in 2010-2011, the facility is operating in EU member states participating in the Decade of Roma Inclusion—Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.
Through project development assistance, training, and advocacy, the Project Generating Facility seeks solutions to problems such as weak visibility of Roma issues at local level, resource and expertise disadvantage, and overly bureaucratic funding procedures, which block access of the most deprived to rights and opportunities. The good practice and the problems identified in this process, feed into national advocacy action to promote favorable conditions for sustainable Roma inclusion action.
The Project Generating Facility is complemented by the Mentoring intervention, which offers to beneficiaries of Structural Funds services to enhance their competence for the delivery of inclusion targets and programs; to promote participation of Roma in local partnerships as well as to develop technical skills for project management. Through the Non-Eligible Costs/Supplementary funds intervention, the Open Society Foundations provide supplementary funding to cover costs which are central to achieving the goals of a project but are not covered from EU funds, with the goal of promoting innovative and cross-sectoral projects for Roma inclusion. Started in 2010 and continued in 2011 the Mentoring intervention is operating in Bulgaria and Hungary, and will be launched in the other MtM targeted countries. The Non-Eligible Costs/ Supplementary funds is operating in Bulgaria since 2010 and will be launched in the other MtM targeted countries.
Capacity Building
The MtM program will address the following needed areas of intervention under the capacity building program: finance of and management for inclusion at the level of local governance, participatory governance, monitoring and evaluation by Roma and local authorities, involvement of Roma or experts on Roma in the management of inclusion programs at municipal levels, transparency and accountability of local governments on inclusion. In some cases, we will support capacity requests by Roma organizations as they relate to inclusion and governance. Through a European network Mayors Making the Most, we will connect the Decade countries to other EU counterparts in an attempt to raise the learning options for our partners. Also through MERI, we would like to identify field practices that will feed into the policy debates coming from the field and raise the profile of these debates to the EC levels.
Policy Analysis and Advocacy
MtM advocacy activities aim to draw policy level conclusions and recommendations from the field level experiences gathered mainly through project generation services. Furthermore, we analyze key national approaches and programs for using EU funds for Roma inclusion. Most of our activities support the best use of the funds in the 2014-20 period.

Cornell Traditions
Cornell's traditions create lifetime memories for students, no matter whether you are the class of 1916 or the class of 2016.
Chimes Concerts
The Cornell Chimes have been the heartbeat of campus life for more than a century, marking the hours and chiming concerts. The original set of bells first rang out at the university's opening ceremonies October 7, 1868. The chime continues to ring daily concerts, making it one of the largest and most frequently played chimes in the world. The bells are played by "chimesmasters" during three concerts daily during the school year and a reduced schedule during the summer and semester breaks, in addition to a variety of specialty concerts.
Dragon Day
Each year in late March, first-year students from the College of Architecture, Art and Planning create and parade an enormous dragon across campus. Accompanied by AAP students in costume and heckled by rival engineering students, the dragon lumbers to the Arts Quad to be consumed by a huge bonfire. The origins of this tradition go back more than a hundred years, and it is one of Cornell's best-known traditions.
Meet current students, alumni, faculty and staff as you cheer on Cornell in the traditional homecoming football game.
Cornell Ice Hockey
Big Red ice hockey at Lynah Rink is one of Cornell's treasured spectator sports. Learn cheers for the Cornell hockey team, or cross off an item on the 161 list by joining hundreds of others in camping out for season tickets.
Slope Day
Today, the event affectionately called Slope Day inherits a century-long tradition as a year-end gathering and celebration of the Cornell Community that includes music, entertainment, camaraderie, and lots of fun.
With such a storied history, Cornell has a unique tradition of shared lore, songs, and activities.

Migration was part of the story of MCC from its start. Begun in the 1920s to help fellow Mennonites facing starvation in Russia, MCC was present during the time thousands of Mennonites, including this family from Schoenwiese, South Russia, fled the Soviet Union. "The shared experience of famine, feeding and exodus focused in MCC as an enduring symbol of what it meant to be a Mennonite," according to the book, Hungry, Thirsty, a Stranger: The MCC Experience. Through a new, 12-panel MCC traveling exhibit,

Today, an estimated 5 million people move across borders each year. MCC continues to meet migrants' emergency needs and to give people tools to rebuild their lives and work for peace at home. The Al Hol camp in northeastern Syria, pictured here in 2010, was a refuge for people fleeing war in Iraq, while now MCC has an $8.3-million response to help people affected by violence in Syria.

In 1979, with refugees leaving southeast Asia, MCC Canada executive secretary J. M. Klassen (third from right) signed onto the Canadian government's Private Sponsorship of Refugees program. Since then MCC Canada, with the help of hundreds of churches, has resettled more than 70,000 refugees from all over the world.

Sponsorships can turn into lasting ties. Assil Al-Hassani and her Palestinian Muslim family fled Baghdad and remained in the Al Hol refugee camp in Syria (see photo 2) for five years before Fort Garry Mennonite Fellowship sponsored the family to come to Canada in 2009. Today, Al-Hassani, shown with her husband Fu'ad Abdulla and infant son Bedir Abdulla in Winnipeg, Man., describes those from the congregation as more than family. She loves the idea that Muslims and Christians can build close friendships, saying this brings peace and mercy to the world.

There are about 5 million Palestinian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Gaza, Syria and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. MCC has been a partner for decades with Palestinian and Israeli groups working for peace and continues to provide assistance to Palestinians in places such as Aida Refugee Camp, established as a temporary camp in 1950 and shown here in 2009. Today, the camp is filled with more permanent homes and getting more crowded as new generations grow up.

"My whole life I have known war.... I want to use my experiences and training to build peace," says James Morris, a community peace mobilizer with MCC partner agency Sudan Council of Churches. At least 1.5 million people were killed and 4 million displaced during the 22-year Sudanese Civil War. Since a 2005 peace accord, more than 660,000 South Sudanese have returned to their homes, some after long absences. MCC is working with partners there to help people rebuild their lives and communities.

Across the globe, MCC projects help communities work for peace in the aftermath of conflict. In Mampuján, Colombia, Adad Mesa Moreno studies tapestries that document the story of how her community was forced from its village by a Colombian paramilitary group in 2000. An MCC worker taught this method of storytelling in stitches and fabric as part of a trauma healing effort, and the community went on to document more of its Afro-Colombian history. As they remember the past, community members also have boldly spoken out to ask for justice for their community and become part of a national process to receive reparations.

Through the Global Anabaptist Peacebuilders Institute in Fresno, Calif., young leaders explore what it means, as an Anabaptist, to respond with the love of Christ in an increasingly interconnected world. Saulo Padilla, MCC U.S. immigration education coordinator and a GAP faculty member, snaps a photo of the institute's migration and resettlement class. The class explored how the migration of groups from Armenians to Japanese to Latin Americans to Mennonites has shaped life in California's Central Valley.

In the Bible, the people of God were called to remember their own stories of migration – which led to a call to safeguard the well-being of the widows, orphans and foreigners among them. Today, in a world where walkers each year carry crosses to remember people who have died trying to come to the U.S., MCC invites you to pray for those who migrate and those who are left behind, to reflect on your own family's migration stories and to explore how to safeguard the well-being of people on the move.

The further adventures of the giant green ogre, Shrek, living in the land of Far, Far Away.
A domesticated Shrek hatches a plan to recapture his mojo and discovers what life in Far Far Away land would have been like had he never existed in this final chapter of the popular animated film series. There used to be a time when the villagers would run in terror at the mere mention of the name Shrek, but these days the big green ogre is married to Princess Fiona and raising triplets. Maintaining your fierce public persona is no simple task when you're juggling infants and changing diapers, so when Shrek realizes that nobody is afraid of him anymore he recruits mischief-maker Rumpelstiltskin to restore his once-mighty roar. Unfortunately for Shrek, that plan hits an unexpected hitch. As a result, the morose monster takes a trip into an alternate-universe Far Far Away land where there is no Shrek, and Rumpelstiltskin reigns. There, Donkey spends his days hauling carts, and a portly Puss in Boots prefers lounging to swashbuckling. Perhaps with a little extra effort, Shrek will be able to regain his status as top ogre in town and still have his happily ever after, too.
This all-access documentary chronicles a year in the life of legendary comedian Joan Rivers while revisiting the dramatic highs and lows of her past.

In one of the better winter cliffhangers before the holiday break, CBS' Person of Interest (9/8c) left off with Reese (Jim Caviezel) in custody, having saved his partner Finch's hide but failing to escape the scene of their latest caper before he was rounded up with the episode's bad guys. The feds know they have the elusive "Man in a Suit" in their grasp, but too bad for them that everyone they nabbed is similarly attired. Which guy in the suit is their prey? Reese isn't talking — some things never change. So while Finch (Michael Emerson) takes up the slack with the "machine," pretending to be a substitute teacher to help out a teen hacker prodigy, it's up to Detective Carter (Taraji P. Henson) to try to get the quietly lethal vigilante out of their clutches. (This story continues next week, so don't expect an instant miracle.)

Time to kick quote approval to the curb. Fri., November 30, 2012.
By Rem Rieder Rem Rieder (email@example.com) is AJR's editor and senior vice president.
Periodically journalists have mounted campaigns to try to reverse the practice. Ben Bradlee briefly banned stories based on background briefings from the Washington Post. Some have even tried humor as a weapon. Columnist Art Buchwald once tweaked then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger for his penchant for the background briefing by attributing information to a "high U.S. official with wavy hair, horn-rimmed glasses and a German accent."
But background has proven to be a formidable foe.
It was an effort to cure the anonymity epidemic during the Clinton administration that gave rise to the current pernicious practice of quote approval, New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker tells AJR senior contributing writer Jodi Enda.
As editors pushed reporters to get material on the record, "officialdom found a way to exploit it," Baker says. "They thought, 'We can make this the default setting, in which we only speak with approval of what quotes go with our names.' It became an increasingly common practice. With each successive year and each successive administration, it got worse."
There are two aspects to quote approval. One is getting permission to use the material. Then there is the massaging of the quotes. In his piece that kicked off the quote approval controversy in July, the New York Times' Jeremy W. Peters portrayed the latter as a popular practice on the campaign trail.
I do see value in reading quotes back to sources. For one thing, note-taking is hardly a precise science, and not even the fastest-scrawling and fastest-typing reporter can take everything down accurately. Even recorded interviews can be hard to decipher at times. Also, there are instances when the source may have made a mistake, saying something and later realizing the information was wrong.
At AJR, we read back quotes during the fact-checking process. And it has paid dividends. Not long ago a source told us that he had said "assets" when our writer had heard "aspects." In context, it was clear that he was right and we had misheard. The tricky part comes when sources realize they have been too candid and want to back away from the material, or when they want to tone down or soften their language. At that point, you doublecheck with the writer. If the writer is certain, you go with it.
The key question is control. You can't let the source edit the story. The final call has to remain with the news organization.
There are some circumstances when you can see the allure of making a bargain with the devil. For example, author Michael Lewis was allowed extensive access to President Barack Obama for a piece for Vanity Fair. But the proximity came with a steep price tag: The White House could decide what quotes he could use. The result was an extremely vivid portrait of the president. And Lewis told the New York Times that he was permitted to use about 95 percent of what he heard. Still, it's an arrangement that puts journalism at the top of a slippery slope.
After Peters' article thrust quote approval into the journalistic conversation, there was a healthy pushback, as the New York Times, McClatchy and National Journal made it clear they would not kowtow to the quote-approval Mafia. Let's hope this unwelcome development is at last on the run.
The Washington Post made a smart choice in November when it named Marty Baron its new executive editor, succeeding Marcus Brauchli. Baron has the perfect profile for the job. During his 11 years at the Globe, he presided over a significantly shrinking enterprise. Yet he managed to keep the level of the Globe's journalism quite high. He spearheaded the paper's aggressive coverage of the Catholic priest scandal, and the paper won six Pulitzers during his tenure.
The Post is one of the storied brands in the U.S. media world, but it has shed hundreds of experienced journalists as it struggles to maintain in the digital era. In addition to the challenges facing all newspapers, it has been rocked by the decline of its Kaplan education arm, once a cash cow that protected the expensive newspapering. While the Post continues to do some excellent work, the gap between it and the New York Times has grown into a chasm. Baron's experience managing downward will come in very handy.
Baron is not a flashy figure like the sainted Ben Bradlee. But just as Bradlee successor Len Downie, not nearly as mesmerizing a character, could inspire with his powerful commitment to journalism and doing the right thing, Baron's insistence on excellence could make him a forceful leader in a newsroom trying to execute topflight journalism with shrinking resources.

Pharmacist was the top-paying job for women in 2012, with an approximate median salary of $97,500. That's according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data crunched by Forbes for a story published Thursday.
"It's also in demand, growing at a faster-than-average rate of 25% and projected to add 70,000 jobs between 2010 and 2020, according to the BLS," wrote blogger Jenna Goudreau.
More on Yahoo!: Virginia Wage Gap Between Men and Women Improves
Not only was pharmacist the biggest paying position, it was one of the most gender blind, with women—who comprise 52% of all pharmacist positions—earning dollar for dollar what their male counterparts earn. And that's a rarity, given that the gender wage gap widened slightly in 2012, with women now making about 81 cents for every dollar earned by men.
"The position of pharmacist is probably the most egalitarian of all U.S. professions today," Harvard economists Claudia Goldin and Lawrence Katz wrote in a September 2012 study for the National Bureau of Economic Research. They attributed this not to changes in legislation or anti-discrimination policies, but to the profession's changing structure, including a growing flexibility in work hours, that has worked in women's favor.
To become a pharmacist, students can enter a six-year professional doctorate program directly from high school. Upon graduation, jobs can vary greatly—from dispensing medication from behind the Walgreen's counter to taking on more clinical roles, like handling medication management programs, counseling patients and doling out immunizations.
It's all a big change from the 1960s, when only about 8% of pharmacists were women, according to a recent CNN Money piece looking at the shifting profession. That's because the rise in chains offered less rigid work schedules and needed bigger staffs. The American Pharmacists' Association elected its first female president in 1979 and marketed this new flexibility to women, the piece notes, which was a game changer.
Other high earning careers for women, according to the Forbes story, include lawyers, physicians, software developers and computer systems analysts, though the wage gap in those fields—with women earning 80%, 68%, 81% and 85% of their male counterparts, respectively—has yet to be closed. In general, jobs in health care, business and science are tops.
Still, with the lowest earning job on the list raking in an approximate median income of $65,000 a year (computer systems analyst), the report's not all bad—especially coming after February's news, that secretary is the most common job for women in 2013. Just like in the '50s.
The Top 10 Best Paying Jobs for Women (with approximate median annual incomes):
1. Pharmacist ($97,500)
2. Chief Executive ($90,000)
3. Lawyer ($85,000)
4. Nurse Practitioner ($79,500)
5. Computer and Information Systems Manager ($79,500)
6. Physician/Surgeon ($74,000)
7. Physician Assistant ($71,000)
8. Software Developer, Applications and Systems Software ($71,000)
9. Management Analyst ($69,000)
10. Computer Systems Analyst ($65,000)

A Charlottesville woman is facing two counts of animal cruelty after police say they found two dogs left abandoned in an apartment for several days.
When police responded to the home on September 17 on the 1400 block of Vine Street, they say they found a large brown female mixed shepherd dog with duct tape wrapped around the muzzle. The second dog was a small black female poodle mix.
Police say their investigation determined the dogs had been left in the apartment for several days without food and water.
Loretta Watkins, 40, was arrested on the two misdemeanor charges after an investigation. She has a court hearing scheduled for November 5 at Charlottesville General District Court.

Real Name
Charles Ashenoff
Date of Birth
January 6, 1964
Place of Birth
While he is not a well known name to WWE fans yet, Enzo Amore is currently in the plans with the company. The developmental wrestler recently made his return to WWE NXT from a leg injury that he suffered towards the end of 2013. Management feels that he has some potential, even though he is not currently anywhere near the head of the line to be called up to the main roster.
April 18, 2014
A video that teases the return of Bo Dallas to the main roster. WWE has been playing this on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown to get fans hyped up again for the WWE NXT star.
April 17, 2014
When several of the WWE stars take off for Saudi Arabia this week, Sami Zayn will be joining them. He's the only developmental wrestler going on the tour. WWE wanted to get a better look at him, and some backstage feel that he might have some marketing appeal overseas. There are still rumors floating around that Zayn could be one of the WWE NXT stars to be called up to the main roster in the coming weeks.
April 16, 2014
One of the ideas being discussed right now is to have Ric Flair managing Ashley Flair in WWE NXT. With Paige being elevated to the main roster, management can now put more of the spotlight on Ashley, Sasha Banks and Bayley. Having the Nature Boy involved would help to increase interest from the audience, as he is still a beloved performer.
April 15, 2014
While there were talks about building a stable around Dolph Ziggler and Miz, two performers who have not been pushed as much as they used to be lately, those discussions have grown a bit dormant as of late. WWE has been focused on bringing up the developmental wrestlers from WWE NXT, and they have been occupied with the tribute show for Ultimate Warrior.
April 15, 2014
Since she is now the WWE Divas Champion, Paige will be dropping the WWE NXT Women's Championship soon. The top candidates at the moment are Ashley Flair and Sasha Banks. While some are pushing for management to put Bayley in the spot, the company feels that it would be better for business if she were to chase the title for a couple of months first.
April 13, 2014
Since the company introduced so many new faces on Monday Night Raw this week, speculations have ran rampant about which WWE NXT will be called up to the main roster as well. Heavyweight champion Adrian Neville has been heavily discussed by fans, but it appears that WWE will be keeping him in developmental until at least the summer.
April 13, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now about Tara, formerly known as Victoria, making her return to WWE in the near future. While she might be utilized as a part time in ring performer, it appears that management is leaning towards Tara being more of a trainer down in WWE NXT. Some are saying she will be given a trial run during the next developmental divas tryouts.
April 12, 2014
Even though WWE is bringing up Bo Dallas, Alexander Rusev, Adam Rose and Paige, there are still plans from management to move Sami Zayn from the WWE NXT roster to the main one. There were talks that he was going to be kept in developmental, so that the program can have some depth and star power, but it looks like WWE is going all in now.
April 11, 2014
Even though she made her debut on Monday Night Raw and captured the WWE Divas Championship from AJ Lee in a shocking manner, Paige will not be traveling with the main roster this upcoming weekend. Instead, she will be working WWE NXT shows in Florida, where she is expected to finish up and possibly drop the developmental title to another diva.
April 10, 2014
A video teasing the return of Bo Dallas to the main roster. WWE attempted to bring him up once, but they quickly changed their mind and sent him back down to developmental for further training. WWE will be using the "Bo-lieve" gimmick that he helped him gain a following down in WWE NXT.
April 10, 2014
Now that Paige is on the main roster and has won the WWE Divas Championship from AJ Lee, people backstage are trying to decide who to put the WWE NXT Women's Championship on. Ashley Flair has been receiving a bit of push as of late, and the belief is that she is the top candidate to carry the strap. Ric Flair could become more involved in the product at this point.
April 10, 2014
In a move that many people had been expecting for quite some time now, Bo Dallas has been called back up to the main roster by WWE. His last stint was rather uneventful, and he was sent back down to developmental. Dallas was the WWE NXT guy that CM Punk was heavily pushing to management before he walked out of the company a few weeks back.
April 9, 2014
A picture of Bayley and Paige at Wrestlemania 30. The WWE NXT developmental divas were watching the show from the stands in the Superdome with the rest of the fans.
April 8, 2014
WWE generally likes to put everyone to good use at their television and pay per view events. Last night at Wrestlemania 30, during the big entrance for Triple H, WWE NXT divas Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, and Ashley Flair were used as background performers. The trio have been working in developmental for a bit of time now and are waiting for their chance to be called up to the main roster.
April 8, 2014
Since management still is trying to figure out a way to get the WWE NXT guys involved at Wrestlemania 30, there is a chance that Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville could be given one of the three remaining spots in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at the pay per view on Sunday. Rob Van Dam is a strong candidate to take a spot as well.
April 3, 2014
A picture of developmental diva Sasha Banks performing the 619, a move popularized by Rey Mysterio in WWE. The belief is that she is simply doing it as a tribute, as she certainly would not be allowed to perform the trademark spot on the main roster. Officials are high on Banks, but she is not yet ready to make the jump up from WWE NXT just yet.
March 26, 2014
Often times, WWE likes to evaluate their developmental wrestlers after each year. Since he has been with the company for a little more than a year now, it does not look like Danny Burch has much of a chance of making it to the main roster anytime soon. He is basically considered a role player in WWE NXT and has not been given a televised victory in eight months.
March 23, 2014
When WWE announced the arrival of the Slam City cartoon series earlier this week, only guys from the main rosters were included as characters. A fan decided to go the extra step by drawing Sasha Banks, Camacho, Mojo Rawley and CJ Parker as characters for the show. Management has no intentions of including WWE NXT stars as of this moment, though.
March 22, 2014
Since his name is no longer being discussed as a potential addition to the developmental program, the belief is that the flirtation between WWE and Prince Devitt has come to an end. The company made a contract offer to Devitt, which included a shortened stint in WWE NXT, but the New Japan star felt like it was not enough for him to leave his current situation.
March 21, 2014
Since his contract with WWE is set to expire very soon, there are speculations that Rey Mysterio could be headed to AAA to join his good friend Konnan as the company is attempting to expand into the United States market. During a recent interview in Spain, though, Mysterio flat out stated that he is not signing with that promotion and wishes to stay with WWE.
March 20, 2014
Fans were a bit shocked recently to hear that Buff Bagwell has decided to make the jump from professional wrestling to male escorting. Apparently, his former WCW coworker Konnan caught him on television and made this comment on Twitter about the situation.
March 6, 2014
A couple of months ago, a Twitter feud erupted between Konnan and Curtis Axel, when the former gave some constructive criticism to the latter. Well, it looks like things have not gone away, as the former WWE Intercontinental Champion has decided to take yet another jab at Konnan with this message involving his father Curt Hennig.
March 2, 2014
The general consensus backstage seems to be that Rey Mysterio is essentially gone from WWE in a couple of months when his contract expires. Some believe that Wrestlemania 30 will be his last hurrah with the company before heading back to California to work with good friend Konnan the new AAA show that is premiering this fall.
February 26, 2014
Through Twitter, Konnan posted this message about the death of Big Daddy V.
February 25, 2014
Just like so many wrestlers now do on Twitter, Konnan posted this message on the WWE pay per view tonight. He was not pleased with Elimination Chamber 2014, and even went as far as to say that this is the reason why he does not pay money to watch the product nowadays. Konnan even stated that the show was a rip off.
February 24, 2014
"I am a big fan of Jim Ross, but disagree with him and others about CM Punk or anyone else needing to honor their contract. If a promotion is not carrying out their end of the bargain and fucking your career with all the advantages that they have (labeling us independent contractors, no pensions, etc), fuck them." - Konnan discussing views on business
February 18, 2014
With the way he has responded to Konnan, Sid Vicious has called Curtis Axel an embarrassment to Curt Hennig and the family name.
October 31, 2013
The Twitter feud between Konnan and Curtis Axel continues, as the former has instructed the latter to get a charisma transplant.
October 30, 2013
A war of words has been started between WWE star Curtis Axel and former WCW star Konnan through Twitter.

Sweet and Salty's Able Love special edition caramels were featured in this week's Mercury!
Able Farms, new to the market this season, is composed of Megan Denton, Jenny Herget, and Dan Cadmus, all of whom have different backgrounds as farmers. Dan is the co-owner of Linnton Feed and Seed and has been working in the agricultural world for the last several decades. Megan worked as a chef for many years and got into farming in order to get closer to the source of food. Jenny's background is in community work and healing and she currently works as a massage therapist, where she sees growing food as another way to nourish people. They farm in their lot in St Johns as well as on Sauvie Island, working with just under an acre of land. They raise a variety of vegetables and fruit and have ducks and chickens for eggs and meat.
When asked which principals guide their farming ethic, Able Farms said: "Our principles are based on permaculture. We are pretty bio-intensive, use companion plantings to help with pest control, and are completely chemical free. We believe whole-heartedly in the principles of organic farming and follow them strictly; however we do not currently have organic certification. As a new farm we do not have a lot of resources, and want to put our money and time directly into the crops rather than go through the intensive, rigorous certification process.
"This was a much debated decision for us, and we may decide to become certified at some point in the future. Ultimately, though, we realized that direct contact with our customers at the farmer's market and at several local restaurants meant that we could represent the food better than any word on a label could. When shopping at a grocery store where a customer can't talk to the people who grew their food, an organic label is the best clue as to how the food was grown. Even with that, though, as bigger companies realize the profits they can make from the organic label, organic certification is becoming less reliable. Through the venues in which our food is sold, we are able to tell our customers exactly what we do and don't use on our food.
"We try to bring a big community focus to our farm, too. We held a farm-to-table dinner at the beginning of the summer so that people could come eat our food directly on our farm, and we host several classes each season about different farming techniques. Megan just finished a humane chicken-slaughter class, and at the beginning of the season we did a small fruit-tree pruning class. We want Able Farms to have a good connection to the community so that those around us become inspired to grow their own food, too."
When asked about their farming methods, Able Farms said: "Compost is our best friend right now. Before beginning to grow any veggies on Sauvie Island we mixed compost in with all of the soil, and continue to fertilize with compost tea and Down to Earth organic fertilizers. All of our poultry live in mobile tractors, so they have room to move around and have access to fresh pasture daily. We use a feed called Scratch'n'Peck, which is made in Bellingham, WA. In addition to being local, Scratch'n'Peck is non-GMO, organic, and non-pelletized. Between the high-quality feed and access to fresh pasture, our egg yolks tend to be colored all the way from golden yellow to a rich deep orange.
Able Farms loves the St Johns Farmer's Market because they're able to bring fresh, healthy, sustainable food directly to their community. "It's great to see so many neighbors at the market. We're very proud to represent this awesome neighborhood."
