[Pages 47-50]
Translated by Jerrold Landau The era of The Children of Israel was a romantic and very interesting episode in the life of the Jewish youth of Orheyev. This energetic youth, full of energy and youthful enthusiasm, aroused itself and found itself on a path that was not a path. It was determined decisively that the way of Jewish life in the Diaspora was lost for it completely. Before the eyes of this youth that struggled greatly with searching for its path and believed in its ability to forge a new path, stood one focal point the liberation of the Jewish nation and the ingathering of the nation in its ancient homeland with the foundations of equality, justice, labor and creativity.
The ruling class, who did not wish to come to terms with the revolution and the new conditions that were created, stood at the head of the counter revolutionary movement, gathering around them many dark and criminal forces. Thus was forged the covenant of hatred between every black force in the Russian community.
The enemies of the revolution began a civil war with the intention of overturning the revolution and returning the government to their hands. As an intermediate stage on the path to their goal, they began murdering Jews and pillaging their property. Pillaging bands passed through Ukraine and throughout the expanse of Russia. Many gangs became incited under the leadership of the generals Petliura, Denikin, Wrangels and others as they pillaged, raped, burned and murdered Jews. When the revolutionary forces fought against the many gangs and against the intervention at that time, Romania invaded Bessarabia in response to the request of the Bessarabian reactionaries, and conquered it.
Naked and lacking everything, weary and emaciated from hunger, Jewish refugees arrived in Orheyev and were received with open arms. They found a warm corner in every Jewish home. All of the communal institutions, synagogues and private homes were filled to the brim with refugees. People neglected their occupations and livelihoods, and dedicated themselves willingly to the care of the refugees. Gershon Weinstock, Leibel Kleiner, Moshe Kalmanovitz, Leib Stolyar and others served as a fine personal example to us youth, for making their nights as days in order to assist the unfortunate people.
The myriads of refugees had no possibility of establishing themselves in Bessarabia, and they desired to emigrate abroad, including to the Land of Israel among other places.
The Zionist movement began to turn to practicality. We imagined the Redeeming Messiah in the form of youths strong in body and spirit, pioneers who were prepared for work, with weapons in their hands forging with their sweat the path of the nation, and leading it. In the eyes of our spirit, we beheld the downtrodden and persecuted Jew suddenly straightening out his form, feeling for the first time that he too had the right to exist upon the earth, that he also had an ancient, desolate homeland, and that he wished to grace its earth. The joyous news excited the Jewish consciousness, broke down barriers on the Jewish street, and also reached the ears of the gentiles. Our Christian neighbors began to relate to us with more honor.
In the Jewish home, the day to day worries were pushed aside into a corner, as they made room for serious, revolutionary thoughts. With trembling in the heart, they began to whisper about the practical possibility of aliya to the Land of Israel.
Filled with enthusiasm and enchanted with the splendor of the revolution, we were simultaneously pining for the dream of the revival of the Jewish nation. We girded ourselves for the national liberation. We became stormy from the depth of the idea. Many difficulties fluttered before our eyes, and we had to solve them. We joined the revolution with all our hearts. However, we did not see in it the solution to all of the problems that arose and tormented us. Could a revolution in one country bring an answer to our national problems? Could it guarantee our nation the possibility to live in a nationalist-socialist economic community? Would we not fall victim to any change or movement in the social forces of the world?
At first, the blue and white flag fluttered next to the flag of the Red Revolution, but the bearers of the flag tread upon ground that was not of their homeland. As opposed to their Russian comrades who felt the soil of their expansive homeland, this was lacking for us. We were only able to feel for our ancient homeland, a Land that must be built up and established anew. However, how would this homeland arise? What would be the economic, national and social basis for its existence?

These, like those, would gather on occasion for meetings, festivities and various celebrations. They would speak at length about the vision of the return to Zion. The political situation of both of those factions did not obligate their members to practical outcomes - that is to say, to actualization. Indeed, some people arose who rebelled against parlor room Zionism and made aliya to the land. Among them were Ben-Zion Ford of blessed memory, Nissel Duchovny, Avraham Daskal, Berel Lupatner, Yaakov Dyukman, Yitzchak Rapoport, Roitman of blessed memory, Yosef Kohen, Shinder and others. However, this was a transient episode, without continuity. The youth movements did not yet exist in the city, with the exception of Maccabee (led by Yasha and Matba Sherman, Menashe Eydelman, Moshe Feinman and others).

Most of the parents were not pleased with our numerous meetings that were fraught with the risk of arrest. They did not understand our goals and wished to see us continue along their path of life obviously in an improved fashion. They wished that we would continue our studies, complete university, and become established in life. In truth, we felt that our studies were important, but we felt that the value of the studies was intertwined with our desire for a new life in the homeland. In our hearts we tied our lot with that unknown Land that stood in desolation for thousands of years as it was awaiting its children to return to its borders.
We grew from a small number of people to a large number of groups, composed of people from various classes and ages. We had not yet clarified our political stand, but we knew that we must toil and study a great deal, and research deeply so that we would able to set and establish in a clearer fashion those things that would lead to the desired goal.
We were not connected to any organization or youth group for a simple reason such did not exist. With our own flesh we witnessed the reality that was developing, and we made deductions from it.
The topics with which we dealt were sociology, national economics, Bible, history, literature and Hebrew. We paid special attention to the topic of sociology. We studied Drouin for many months (the lecturer was Niunia Suslensky). Aside from Drouin, we read Wells. We delved into Bible and other sources so that we could find some connection to that topic. In this manner of study and research, we wished to deduce all of the economic and spiritual factors that influence the character and makeup of man which direct his soul and his way of thinking. The goal was to educate a person anew to delve into the fundamental bases, to distance from a bad source, with the aim of forging the most ideal character of the sublime person. In explanation, the person of healthy mind and body, who lives and sustains himself from his work, the person whose entire essence is to create the conditions of a life of happiness on earth, for himself and his fellow and to all humans. To prevent war and bloodshed among nations.
We began to prepare ourselves to meet these goals. We imposed upon ourselves the duty to realize our goals practically, and to serve as a personal example for others. Our path was strewn with obstacles: the home, the family, the street, and also the government everyone was against us. Indeed, there was a national awakening, and there were Zionist activities but not to the point of actualization. Many saw us as dreamers of dreams, and waited for time to pass, the illusions to dissipate, and our return to being good children. Our parents did not want to hear about our plans that were related to the abandonment of our studies, leaving our homes, and aliya to the Land of Israel. We, devoid of any experience in life, dependent on our parents' table, with a warm family atmosphere, did not know the taste of toil, and had never tasted the taste of lack. The lot fell with these conditions: A decision was made by the Bnei Yisrael organization that demanded personal actualization from every one of its members pioneering preparation (hachshara), activity for the Keren Kayemet LeYisrael (Jewish National Fund), and finally of course, also aliya to the Land. Our knowledge of the Land was scanty. With boundless joy, we would listen to anyone who came to tell us about the Land. I recall how happy I was when I was invited to Dyukman's home to hear about the Land from comrade Yitzchak Spivak, who had come to visit Orheyev. We heard about the far-off Land, its desolation for thousands of years and its lack of cultivation. It was a Land whose few residents suffered from malaria. Its soil was covered with bogs, and it was thirsty for water to water the soul of man and beast. It was a Land awaiting pioneers who would come and turn the malarial swamps into fruitful ground.

Gatsby throws excessively extravagant parties as evidenced by the number of guests, the lights, the food and the entertainment. For example, the juice from two hundred oranges is extracted every week for his parties. The reason Gatsby throws these huge, flashy parties is all part of his attempt to catch Daisy's attention; either hoping that she would catch a glimpse of the bright lights across the bay or through word of mouth. However even with the grand scale of his parties, none of his guests seem to know who Gatsby is, some even coming up with ludicrous stories to explain his mystery. Most of these guests are simply there to enjoy the glamour which they believe to be the American Dream. Though when examined closely, corruption is easy to spot. During Nick's first attendance at Gatsby's party, he makes this observation. "I looked around. Most of the remaining women were now having fights with men said to be their husbands. … One of the men was talking with curious intensity to a young actress, and his wife, after attempting to laugh at the situation in a dignified and indifferent way, broke down entirely and resorted to flank attacks – at intervals she appeared suddenly at his side like and angry diamond, and hissed: 'You promised!' into his ear." The husbands are bored and unsatisfied with their marriages while the wives are upset are their husbands' disregard for them. Furthermore, the guests at his parties only show up as a way to prove their social status and to enjoy what they perceive as the American Dream. No one at the party shows more than a superficial curiosity for Gatsby's character. This is shown at the end of the novel when no more than a handful of people show up at his funeral where there could have easily been hundreds of people at his parties. This emphasizes the hollowness of the American Dream.
It is ironic that the whole purpose of these parties is to attract Daisy to Gatsby; it's all to show her the riches that he has amassed and of what he can offer her. However when Daisy finally comes to one of his parties, she is not impressed. She feels out of place at the party because this is not the lifestyle that she is used to. This shows the impossibility of Gatsby ever achieving his dream because Daisy would never leave Tom for Gatsby because she is so used to the lifestyle that she and Tom share.
The first party seen in the novel is the get-together at Tom's house. When compared to Gatsby's over-the-top parties, Tom's party has an understated simplicity to it. This contrasts the new money and the old money of the novel; where the new money feel the need to constantly flaunt their money in an unnecessary way, the established rich are comfortable and graceful in their wealth. This party is thrown out of boredom as it is something for them to do in their mundane lifestyle. Before the party, Tom and Daisy are seen as the ideal couple living the American Dream. They have the money, the beautiful house, a family. However, during the party this illusion is shattered. Tom is excused from dinner to receive a call when it is revealed that the caller is his mistress. Tom is not fulfilled with the American Dream which is why he has an affair. If he was satisfied, he would not feel the need to sleep with someone that is not his wife. This later proves to be the same for Daisy when she is reunited with Gatsby.
Corruption is further shown at Myrtle's impromptu party in New York. It also contrasts Tom's party in East Egg. He is tempered and controlled at his party in East Egg. However, a different side of him, a more volatile side of him is show at Myrtle's party. Daisy refers to him as a 'hulking, brute of a man' which Tom clearly does not like. But he does nothing more than object. When he's with Myrtle and he dislikes the fact that she is referring to Daisy, he lashes out and hits Myrtle. He is a two-sided character and it also shows a distinction between the upper and lower class. Violence would not have been tolerated in the East Egg. But in New York, with Daisy whom comes from the Valley of the Ashes, he is free and able to lash out physically. Also, the action of Tom hitting a woman shows that he is completely corrupt and something that a gentleman would not do.
All these parties are used by characters for a purpose. This one is used by Myrtle to show off Tom. Tom is her shot at achieving the American Dream and she will do anything to get it. In this case, she uses her sexuality which furthers the theme of corruption.

Nearly $5 billon in so-called dedicated funds were kept unspent to balance the current budget, a problem that top leaders want to at least start addressing this legislative session.
At a Monday meeting of the House Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Budget Transparency and Reform, lawmakers cautioned that the problem didn't occur overnight and it won't be resolved quickly, either.
"I think this is a matter of, how we are going to eat this elephant — or maybe we should say donkey — we're going to eat it a bite at a time," said Rep. Myra Crownover, a Lake Dallas Republican who heads the subcommittee.
Republican Reps. John Otto of Dayton and Drew Darby of San Angelo are sponsoring bills to reduce the state budget's reliance on dedicated funds, after leading a panel appointed by House Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, that looked at the issue.
House Bill 6 by Otto, as it now stands, would cap the amount that can be used to certify the budget at $4.8 billion. Otto said he wants that number to be lower, but much depends on how the rest of the budget shapes up.
On Monday, Otto said he'd like to cut the problem in half, but he doesn't know that the Legislature will be able to address that large of a bite this session. He said that it's a practice that has been building for more than two decades.
"We cannot undo this practice overnight," he said.House Bill 7 by Darby, also described by its author as a work in progress, has a goal of reducing the reliance on general-revenue dedicated fund balances over six years, after the comptroller and Legislative Budget Board review the matter.
Darby said the bill includes provisions such as reducing the solid-waste disposal fee; allowing 9-1-1 service fees to be used for grants to volunteer fire departments; and allowing the trauma facility account to be used for graduate medical education to reduce fund balances.
Darby said he also intends to amend the bill as it moves through the process to address other dedicated funds.
He intends to make progress on the System Benefit Fund, which was set up to help low-income people with utility bills and has the largest unspent balance at $850 million. He also suggested further uses for the trauma fund to help hospitals.
House Bills 6 and 7 aren't the only ones that address unspent, dedicated balances. The budget proposal approved earlier by the House Appropriations Committee also would address the System Benefit Fund by lowering the fee and increasing the benefit.
The subcommittee left pending the Otto and Darby bills.

Imitrex is the brand name for sumatriptan, a prescription medicine used to treat migraine headaches in adults.
Imitrex is best taken as soon as the headache pain begins - not before, even if there are warning signs like aura (sensory or visual disturbances). It's for migraine with or without aura.
Imitrex is a serotonin receptor agonist. It works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain stem and reducing factors that can trigger nausea, light sensitivity, and other migraine symptoms.
GlaxoSmithKline makes Imitrex, which the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved in 1992 as an injectable. Imitrex in tablet form was approved in 1995 and the nasal spray was approved in 1997.
Generic forms became available by 2009. Many manufacturers offer generic sumatriptan, includingTeva, Sandoz, Mylan, and other companies.
In 2013, the FDA approved a sumatriptan transdermal skin patch, Zecuity. It was manufactured by NuPathe, now part of Teva. As of October 2014, Zecuity was not yet available in pharmacies.
If you are at risk for cardiovascular disease, your doctor should evaluate your cardiac functioning before deciding on Imitrex.
If you have uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe liver problems, have had a stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) is lack of blood flow to the brain), you should not take Imitrex.
If you have epilepsy or a lowered seizure threshold, Imitrex must be used with caution.
Imitrex is in Pregnancy Category C, according to the FDA, which means that harm to a developing fetus cannot be ruled out. Even so, the drug's benefits to the mother may outweigh the potential risk to the developing baby.
Imitrex is present in human breast milk. You can avoid exposing your infant to Imitrex by avoiding breastfeeding for 12 hours after taking the medicine. Ask your doctor for additional advice about breastfeeding.
The most commonly reported side effects of Imitrex are:
If these do not go away or bother you, call your doctor.
Some of the side effects of Imitrex are serious. Call your doctor right away if you experience any of the following:
Very rarely, temporary vision loss and blindness have been reported after taking Imitrex.
Imitrex can interact with a variety of other drugs, including:
Be sure to tell your doctor about any prescription, non-prescription, over-the-counter (OTC), illegal and recreational drugs, herbal remedies, nutritional and dietary supplements, and all other drugs and treatments you're taking.
Studies show that when alcohol was consumed 30 minutes before taking sumatriptan, it had no effect on how well the medicine worked.
The recommended dose of Imitrex in tablet form is:
Your doctor will prescribe the right dose for you.
After the first recommended dose, you may be advised to take a second dose two hours or more later, if your migraine has not resolved. The maximum daily dose of Imitrex tablets is 200 mg in a 24-hour time period.
An additional dose of the injection can also be given if the first dose does not work and two hours or more have passed.
In clinical trials, headache suffers who got single doses of 140 to 300 mg did not have adverse reactions. Volunteers who took up to 400 mg did not suffer adverse reactions. Even so, doctors advise not taking more than 200 mg of Imitrex in a 24-hour period and only using it as directed by your doctor.
If you think you have taken too much Imitrex, call your doctor right away or go to the closest emergency room.
Imitrex is meant to be taken as soon as headache pain begins, and you must wait at least two hours before taking another dose.
It's important not to use more Imitrex than directed by your doctor, and no more than 200 mg in 24 hours.
A: Your question regards if there is a generic available for Imitrex (sumatriptan) //www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/imitrex in U.S. pharmacies. There is a generic available for Imitrex called sumatriptan. Talk to your pharmacist about sumatriptan. You may also find helpful information about migraine headaches at //www.everydayhealth.com/migraine/guide/. Jen Marsico, RPh
A: Imitrex (sumatriptan) belongs to a class of medications called triptans used in the treatment of migraine attacks. The most common side effects with Imitrex include burning, dizziness, drowsiness, feeling of heaviness or pressure, muscle aches, numbness or tingling of the skin, sick feeling, tingling, tiredness, and a warm/hot sensation. Imitrex is generally well tolerated. Across all doses, most side effects associated with Imitrex were mild and transient and did not lead to long-lasting effects.

"Dancing With the Stars" wrapped up its three-night season premiere on Wednesday with two predictable eliminations.
Ashley Hamilton, the son of former "DWTS" competitor George Hamilton and Alana Stewart, was the first from the celebrity males to go.

"It's been a blast," the actor said as he learned his fate, his elimination also kicking professional Edyta Sliwinska out of the competition. "I've had a great partner, such a great experience and I'm just so grateful to be on the show."
Edyta too was disappointed at being booted from the show, claiming they could have really brought some fire to the competition in future weeks.

"I wish we could stay a little longer, because as he said, we had a blast working together and I think he had a lot more to offer," she said.
Also eliminated was singer Macy Gray, which took professional Jonathan Roberts out of the competition.
"It's been cool," the "I Try" singer said. "Ballroom isn't my calling exactly, but I learned a little bit and we had a good time."

In addition to the eliminations, "Dancing" paid a moving tribute to the late Patrick Swayze, who was a supporter of the program and previously visited the show during its first season.
Several of the "DWTS" pros – including Tony Dovolani and Cheryl Burke – recreated some of the late actor's most memorable numbers.
Tony and Cheryl performed the Johnny and Baby dance from "Dirty Dancing," including the famous lift, leaving some audience members teary-eyed.
"Dancing With the Stars" will return next week with a twist – "Moulin Rouge" director Baz Luhrman will sit in as a guest judge.

'Blessed' Jesse Robredo
Debate in the Catholic Church today is mostly about the proper understanding of the Second Vatican Council. We can discuss these matters theologically, though that is the most abstract of approaches and sometimes the most puzzling.
There are more concrete ways to seek the meaning of Vatican II. We can, for example, ask what type of saints will be canonized if the Council's teachings are fully implemented. Will the Church continue to canonize persons such as the recently honored St. Pedro Calungsod, or will it look more to people like the late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo?
We have been steeped in Vatican II's teachings for 50 years. We know more about the modern world that is in great part indifferent to Christian beliefs than the bishops who attended Vatican II in 1962-1965. If we thoughtfully search for saints for our times, we can almost certainly clarify the type of man or woman needed by the Church.
Will the Church canonize brave young people like Pedro who know nothing of our modern world and little of their own world, or will it honor mature men and women of this age who have mastered the modern world's sciences, systems, technologies and disciplines for good ends and still possess a heart and a mind for our traditional faith, and a mind and a heart for the poor? Will it seek out men and women who can show in their own lives both the achievements of this world and the awareness in the end that there are just God, the poor and those who live as the poor?
We need both types of saints, of course, now and in the future. But of which do we have greater need if we are to transform the modern world?
I knew Jesse Robredo for 35 years. Many knew him better than I. We were friends. I wrote articles about him. One was titled "An organized people and an astute mayor," and it was intended to praise his ability to work with organized poor people and turn a small sleepy town into a bustling modern city without losing its old cultural strengths. I worked closely with him on the problem of housing urban poor people over the last two years. I certainly didn't know his personal spiritual life as his confessors and his wife knew him. But I've listened to people whom I admire and who knew him well. They tell us a great deal.
His wife, Leni, for example, said in an interview in this paper that every time Jesse came home from trips around the country he went as soon as possible to the Peñafrancia Shrine to report to Our Lady about the things that had happened to him. His life as secretary of the interior brought him into the middle of treachery, betrayal and danger, but it also brought him into the homes of the very poor, where he sat like any other visitor and appreciated the snacks that the poor offered. No Cabinet officer worked harder than Jesse or took on more dangerous tasks.
When I mentioned the idea of this column to one of my friends, he said: "Miracles, Denis, it's all about miracles." There are no physical miracles that I know of, but here is an incident that sets one wondering.
A friend of Jesse's who held a high government position was aware of corruption in his office. He was reluctant to be a "whistle-blower" for many personal reasons, and then he visited Jesse's grave near the Peñafrancia Shrine. He said that as he stood there he became aware that Jesse was urging him to do what was right. The friend weighed Jesse's words of advice and decided to speak up. He said he immediately felt very happy. He did speak out. A miracle? A sort of miracle perhaps that may be much valued in the modern world?
If ever, Jesse would be the first happily married man with a loving wife and children to be canonized in centuries. Wouldn't that speak to our modern world? He talked constantly by cell phone with his family. They lived in the same simple two-story home they lived in during his first term as mayor of Naga, 1988-1992.
I have been especially impressed by the affection that retired Archbishop Leonardo Legaspi of Caceres (Naga City) has shown for Jesse. The archbishop has been one of the modern pillars of the Philippine Church. In the past he often appeared as a rather stern and conservative person, but when I heard his talk at the end of Jesse's funeral, I was deeply touched: He was a father mourning for his son, I thought.
Lawyer Angel Ojastro, who worked with Jesse for many years, told me this story. He took charge of the last arrangements for Jesse in Naga, according to the wishes of Jesse's wife. He waited one night at the Archbishop's House for Jesse's body to be brought there for the wake. He found that the archbishop was still up.
"Go to bed, Excellency, I'm here. I'll take care of him," Angel said. He knew the archbishop had painfully bad knees and was sick in many other ways. "Go to bed, Excellency." The archbishop refused. They both waited until almost 1 a.m. Angel repeated the phrase that was in my head: "[The archbishop] was like a father waiting for his son."
If such a learned and insightful churchman as Archbishop Legaspi could show such love and respect for a politician—they had been mayor and archbishop in the same small city for 18 years—there was probably nothing in Jesse's public life that the archbishop hadn't heard about, nothing that would diminish his admiration. The archbishop held Jesse in such high respect to the end, which should make us wonder once again about Jesse Robredo's true value.
Maybe someone should introduce his cause for canonization. Archbishop Legaspi, perhaps? It seems a step toward the world of the future.

In a speech at the National Press Club, John W. Rowe calls on House Committee to approve Waxman-Markey compromise bill next week
WASHINGTON (May 15, 2009) - In a speech today at the National Press Club, Exelon Chairman and CEO John W. Rowe joined the debate in Washington centered on the Waxman-Markey bill, calling on Congress to pass climate legislation this year that features a cap-and-trade system to encourage investment in low-carbon energy. Rowe praised the Waxman-Markey compromise bill and urged the members of the Energy and Commerce Committee to approve it next week. Drawing on his 25 years as an electric utility CEO, Rowe urged the nation's leaders to support policy that addresses climate change without placing undue strain on American consumers or businesses in a weakened economy.
"We may be on the brink of something astounding in Washington," Rowe said. "This is due to the hard work and political courage of President Obama, Chairmen Waxman and Markey, Congressman Boucher, Senator Bingaman and many others." In his address, which was part of the National Press Club's Newsmakers Series, Rowe expressed his support for the cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions proposed in the Waxman-Markey bill as an effective approach to addressing climate change. Rowe also shared the other policy components he believes are critical for climate change legislation to be effective. First, establishing a price signal through a cap-and-trade system is essential to encouraging low-carbon investments. Next, he said that cap-and-trade needs to include a robust cost-containment mechanism and sensible method for allocating emission allowances to protect consumers and the economy against sudden energy price increases. Further, Rowe reiterated Exelon's longstanding position that a large percentage of allowances be given to local utilities so they can sell them and use the proceeds for rebates, low-income assistance, energy efficiency and other measures to help customers most affected by higher energy prices. "Without some flexibility," Rowe said, "we will find that the legislation that has been painstakingly crafted crumbles under consumer outcry at the first serious strains in the energy markets." Rowe noted that the Edison Electric Institute, USCAP, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, and two labor unions also support this approach. Finally, Rowe advised that climate legislation must rely on the innovation and efficiency provided by appropriately regulated, competitive markets. Warning against the dangers of letting climate legislation chose the energy technology of the future, he said that a renewable portfolio standard is a down payment toward a sound climate policy but is not enough. A market-based cap-and-trade system will ensure that the nation makes the transition to a low-carbon economy in the most efficient way possible. "Ultimately, competition is the best way to further the technological innovation we so desperately need to address global climate change," Rowe said.
Rowe said that Exelon has been doing what it can to find a workable solution to our climate problems. Exelon is implementing Exelon 2020, an environmental and business strategy to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of GHG emissions per year by 2020. This is more than the company's 2001 carbon footprint and equivalent to taking nearly 3 million cars off the road. In April 2009, Exelon announced that it had reduced its GHG emissions by more than 35 percent from 2001 to 2008. In addition to being the utility industry's longest-serving chief executive, Rowe was among the first CEOs in the industry to focus on climate change, first testifying before Congress on the subject in 1992. He now serves as chairman of the Nuclear Energy Institute and co-chair of the bipartisan National Commission on Energy Policy and has previously chaired the Edison Electric Institute. Rowe currently appears in a national television advertisement for the Environmental Defense Action Fund (EDAF) advocating a carbon "smart cap" as the climate change solution that will protect consumers Rowe's prepared remarks from his National Press Club address are available on the Exelon Web site at: www.exeloncorp.com/aboutus/speakersbureau.

Every child on ECMO at ACH has a large team taking care of him/her from beginning to end. This ECMO team is made up of the surgeon, specialized doctors, ECMO specialists, nurses, respiratory therapists, social work, chaplains and any other members of the ACH team that might be involved with direct care. Initially, the surgical and ECMO teams will be called by the patient's doctor, usually a pediatric intensivist, pediatric cardiologist, or a neonatologist, to place the child on ECMO. The surgeon will place a tube or tubes into the large blood vessels in the neck or the tubes may come out of the chest if the patient has just had heart surgery. The tubes are then connected to the ECMO circuit. The patient's blood drains into the circuit and is circulated up through the artificial lung, where it receives oxygen before returning back to the patient.
There are two types of ECMO support depending on the patient's medical condition. Veno-arterial ECMO (VA ECMO) is used when the patient requires assistance for both the heart and the lungs. The blood is drained from a very large vein and then returned to the body through a large artery after oxygen has been added to the blood. This process takes most of the workload off both the child's heart and the child's lungs, providing support to vital organs and tissue. Veno-venous ECMO (VV ECMO) is used primarily when the lungs have failed but the heart is still working fairly well. The blood is drained from a large vein and is returned with oxygen through the same vein. Both types of ECMO provide efficient oxygenated blood to organs and the body tissues.
During ECMO when efficient flow is established to your child the ventilator will be adjusted to settings that allow the lungs to rest. The breathing machine settings remain at rest until your child is ready to come off ECMO. The lungs and/or heart may take days to weeks to heal and this time varies based upon the child's illness. As your child improves, the ECMO flow will be turned down (weaned) and the lungs and/or heart will do more of the work.
Your child will be continuously monitored on ECMO while in the intensive care area. Labs will be drawn often to help manage the ECMO pump and your child's medical treatments. X-rays will be done daily to review lung condition. For baby's, an ultrasound of the head will be done regularly to check for bleeding that can occur in the head. Transfusions of blood products are required to keep your child's blood counts normal. These products are given routinely to assist your child with clotting and to help oxygenate. As before ECMO, your child will continue to receive intensive nursing care while on ECMO. Your child will be receiving a drug called heparin which helps to prevent clotting in the ECMO circuit. The ECMO specialists will perform a blood test called the ACT (activated clotting time) very frequently while your child is on ECMO. The ACT test helps us make adjustments to how much blood-thinner medicine is needed.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 132 diseños de 28 diseñadores freelance.
Bars Media Documentary Film Studio
We are documentary film studio located in Armenia. Bars Media produces- well-researched, clear-cut documentaries.
The topics portrayed in our films include arts and culture, education, history, ethnic and environmental issues, the reality of war, and the human dimensions of a region experiencing post-Soviet transitions.
The BBC (Great Britain), ARTE (Germany, France), WDR (Germany), YLE (Finland), ITVS (USA), NTV (Russia), and NHK (Japan) are some of the major broadcasters who have distributed our films.
Here are a couple links to give you and idea about some of our projects.
The logo will be used in almost all our paperwork, emails, website, and film materials. Our target audiences are the television and distribution companies who would be interested in our films. These companies will span the entire globe as they have in the past, so the logo needs to be universal. In the future there is a possibility that we may animate the logo.
Our original logo is from old Armenian petroglyph featuring the globe and its people, and it clearly represented our vision at the time. But now we're looking for something more modern, yet simple. We still want to incorporate the original petroglyph, we only ask that you modify the placement of the text and enhance the old logo. Letters should all be the same size (either all caps or all lower case). And the text should read "BARS MEDIA FILMS" and another one with "BARS MEDIA DOCUMENTARY FILM STUDIO."
Attached are some examples of logos received in the past we have liked and not liked, and also the original petroglyph globe logo for you to use. Our previous logo was created when we had graphic designers in house, but we have since closed down that department to focus more on documentary films.
Currently we are holding this contest for the modernization of our logo, and if successful we will also be holding a contest for our new website.

Copyright holders shouldn't have to prove that an unauthorized distribution of their work occurred in order to collect damages, according to the Motion Picture Association of America. The group made its argument in an amicus brief filed on Friday to Judge Michael Davis, the judge overseeing the Jammie Thomas trial, after he asked for feedback from the industry before deciding whether to order a mistrial. Both sides realize that the stakes are high and are throwing everything they've got Judge Davis' way.
At the time of the Jammie Thomas trial, Thomas was found liable for $9,250 in damages per song for a collection of 24 songs that she made available online, for a total of $222,000 in total damages. Since there was no direct way to know if anyone else had downloaded even one of the 24 songs (aside from the downloads made by the investigators), Judge Davis told the jury to make its decision based on the fact that Thomas had a handful of files shared. In May, however, Davis said that he may have made a "manual error of law" when instructing the jury. He then asked the attorneys for both cases (as well as other "interested parties") to submit amicus briefs in order to help him decide how to proceed on the case.
In its filing, the MPAA says that the mere act of "making available" a copyrighted piece on a P2P network should serve as sufficient evidence of copyright infringement. The group "urges the Court not to impose any requirement of actual distribution" because it argues that the Copyright Act allows content owners a broad right of distribution, not just control over actual distributions.
Therefore, anyone who makes files available over P2P networks should be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of actual distribution, even if proof of that actual distribution doesn't exist. "The only purpose for placing copyrighted works in the shared folder is, of course, to 'share,' by making those works available to countless other P2P networks," wrote the MPAA. It sees arguments to the contrary as mere technicalities designed to make it harder for rightsholders to prosecute infringers.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation shot back with its own amicus brief, arguing that the Copyright Act does not grant a "making available" right to copyright owners. It also said that trade groups shouldn't be allowed to claim that an actual distribution took place based solely on downloads from their own investigators.
According to the MPAA, providing this level of evidence is just too hard. "It is often very difficult, and in some cases impossible, to provide such direct proof when confronting modern forms of copyright infringement, whether over P2P networks or otherwise," writes the group. "Understandably, copyright infringers typically do not keep records of infringement. Mandating that proof could thus have the pernicious effect of depriving copyright owners of a practical remedy against massive copyright infringement in many instances."
It's clear from the MPAA's and the EFF's briefs that the Jammie Thomas case won't be fading into memory any time soon. Another hearing on the case is scheduled for August, at which time Thomas may get the new trial that she has been asking for since last October.

A major in psychology begins with Introduction to Psychology, in which students study empirical approaches to psychological questions, including basic processes of learning and motivation; complex individual differences in intelligence, personality, and abnormal behavior; and social influences on aggression and attraction. Majors then select at least one intermediate-level course reflecting the diversity of psychological topics. Options include:
Abnormal Psychology
Psychology of Women
Human Neuropsychology
Environmental Psychology
Topics in Applied Psychology
Stereotypes and Prejudice
Early in their study of psychology, majors obtain experience in planning and conducting research and in writing about their findings — skills necessary for independent research in their junior and senior years.
Before psychology majors take more advanced courses, they are required to take a course in statistics and experimental design. Here, they learn the basic principles of descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and experimental design. In the upper-level writing-intensive courses, students apply this knowledge to intensive study of such areas as perception, memory and cognition, social psychology, and developmental psychology.
In addition to the required courses, majors may also select from a broad range of non-laboratory courses, including neuroscience, clinical methods, and psychological testing.

4-25-12 Progressive Field
It was a Wednesday in Cleveland, and there were only 10,552 fans to attend this game. There were maybe 100 people there during batting practice. You'd think it would be a good day.
The wind was blowing in pretty well from center field, so home runs would be few and far between.
During the Indians batting practice I got three balls.
One from Chris Perez, who's the friendliest pitcher in the major leagues:
One was a home run by Carlos Santana that was over my head and I nearly caught, except that it tipped off my glove as I jumped for it. No matter, there was no one else around, so I merely picked it up.
And a third ball was a ground rule double that settled in the second row that I beat out a gloveless fan for.
When the Royals came out, I expected to be able to catch a few homers from their lefties and get a few tossups since there was only one other fan in the park wearing Royals gear.
I went over to the bullpen and watched coach Chino Cadahia warm up with Steve Foster. When they were done, I asked Foster for the ball, but he ignored me and put the ball in the ballbag. Chino saw the snub and went to his bag and pulled out a baseball and tossed it to me.
When the Royals pitchers were done throwing, Jose Mijares tossed me ball #5.
The Royals lefties hit 2 home runs the entire BP. None came close to me. To make matters worse, it seemed that most Royals pitchers, except for Bruce Chen were in a terrible mood. The Royals you see, had lost 12 in a row heading into this game, so they weren't feeling too generous.
By the way, this is what the stands looked like near the end of the Royals BP:
I figured that I could head over to left field or the dugout to try and get a ball, but the Royals cut their BP short, running off the field at 5:51. Fans are restricted to right field only until 6PM on weekdays. So, when the whole stadium opened, the Royals were long gone, and so were all the easter eggs thanks to Cleveland's staff.
Five baseballs is alright, but I was hoping for a few more based on the low crowd. Oh well. This was game one of two in Cleveland this week…

Netscape founder Marc Andreessen made news today by starting a venture capital fund and declaring that Facebook, on whose board he serves, will likely post billions of dollars in revenues in five years.
The Internet pioneer said that he is launching a venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, with his longtime business partner Ben Horowitz.
It's a high-profile entry into a field that is led by renowned Silicon Valley investors such as Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital. However, the new fund is relatively modest in size – $300 million to begin with – compared with the majors, which have invested billions of dollars in start-ups over the years.
Andreessen's goal is to invest in young technology companies, including consumer Internet, mobile phone software and digital infrastructure. Green technology companies, another popular target of venture capital investment these days, need not apply.
Andreessen has made a name for himself by founding Netscape, an early Internet icon that popularized the Web browser. He then followed it up by founding Opsware and co-founding Ning, where he is chairman.
In addition to announcing his venture capital premiere, Andreessen told Reuters that Facebook is on track to make billions of dollars in annual revenue in five years, among the first projections about the social networking giant's long-term prospects from an insider. He joined Facebook's board a year ago.
The projection, although not exactly surprising, shows the major ambitions Facebook has. As a privately owned company, Facebook isn't required to release its full finances, but it has been increasingly sharing certain details such as its expected 70 percent increase in revenue this year.
Andreessen said that Facebook would have around $500 million in revenue in 2009. The Palo Alto company generates revenue from advertising, but Andreessen said that it doesn't emphasize money and is instead focused on growing and retaining its 225 million users.

We often forget that by collecting old letters, photographs and documents, we also accept the responsibility for their safekeeping. If you don't believe that, just think about your dismay when you find that someone else does not look after or appreciate that which they had in their possession.
We all pass on and leave what we have collected to those who are left behind and in most cases the likelihood of our family keeping something that they might not have any interest in, is directly related to how well we have preserved and ordered the documentation and albums that they take possession of.
Above: A photograph of Sarel P etrus Herbst (29 July 1863 - 4 June 1955) and his family taken in September 1911. Fortunately it was saved, but unfortunately not cared for and spoilt with a ballpoint pen. (Click on the photo to enlarge and view the real damage.)
Plastic see-through enclosures allow for easy viewing of an image, reducing damage from handling and protecting it from moisture and sulphides in the air. Unfortunately, under certain conditions plastic enclosures can trap moisture and cause sticking. Use enclosures made from polyester, polypropylene and polyethylene. These plastics are stable and have a neutral pH.
Avoid enclosures made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is not stable and causes discolouration over time.
Newspapers are among the most problematic materials to preserve. This is because their paper is acidic and of very poor quality. Newsprint also contains lignin, which causes paper to yellow and darken. If exposed to light, newsprint quickly becomes brittle.
Never store newspapers together with other documents and or photographs or use it for wrapping. Your options for preserving newsprint are:
photocopying onto acid-free paper;storage in archival boxes in a cool and dark environment;de-acidification, ormicrofilming;digitising.The popular black pages often used in older photo albums and scrapbooks, while providing an aesthetically pleasing background, contain harmful acids that damage photographs and documents they contain. Today technology has allowed for the production of black paper that is not harmful.
Mount photos in albums using photo corners that won't harm the photo. Never stick a photo to a page. Always make a note of the people and the place the photo was taken and when it was taken. Never write this information with a ballpoint pen on the back of the photo as this damages the surface.
Care for and catalogue your negatives. Museums have registration files and libraries have cataloques, but even small collections and family heirlooms should be documented to keep track of their location, condition and value.
Always wear gloves when handling negatives, photos, old documents, coins and medals.
Air purity is a big problem in urban areas, since harmful chemicals and particle matter damage photographs.
Suggestion: metal cabinets are better than wood, because wood produces gases. Keep photos away from plywood, paint, paint fumes and/or janitorial supplies.
Damaging Old Photographs

Old photographs really give life to any work of genealogy, but I shudder every time I hear of someone photocopying old photos. There is nothing else, save putting them in direct sunlight that will destroy them faster. The brilliant light of the photocopy machine is speeding up their deterioration. Light makes prints fade, especially the really old, really valuable ones.
It's a much better idea to SCAN old photos because the light levels in a scanner are much lower than those of a photocopier. Even better, copy them with either a digital or film camera -- though copying old photos does take more sophisticated equipment than a point-and click and is a photographic skill in its own right. Then you can send everyone copies of a clean and clear image instead of a nearly indecipherable photocopy.
Most of the photocopies I've seen are so bad I can't figure out who the people are in them. If the copies of the originals are printed off on a computer printer, you can run as many as you need and have plenty of room to write in the margins.
The originals should be kept in the dark -- preferably in climate- controlled conditions, but few people have that. The least that should be done is to keep them in a cool dry place.

Loan Calculator
This Loan Payment Calculator computes an estimate of the size of your monthly loan payments and the annual salary required to manage them without too much financial difficulty. You can also calculate private student loan eligibility on comparison sites like Credible. This loan calculator can be used with Federal education loans (Stafford, Perkins and PLUS) and most private student loans. (This student loan calculator can also be used as an auto loan calculator or to calculate your mortgage payments.)
This loan calculator assumes that the interest rate remains constant throughout the life of the loan. The Federal Stafford Loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.8% and the Federal PLUS loan has a fixed rate of 7.9%. (Perkins loans have a fixed interest rate of 5%.)
This loan calculator also assumes that the loan will be repaid in equal monthly installments through standard loan amortization (i.e., standard or extended loan repayment). The results will not be accurate for some of the alternate repayment plans, such as graduated repayment and income contingent repayment.
Loan fees are used to adjust the initial loan balance so that the borrower nets the same amount after the fees are deducted.
Some educational loans have a minimum monthly payment. Please enter the appropriate figure ($50 for Stafford Loans, $40 for Perkins Loans and $50 for PLUS Loans) in the minimum payment field. Enter a higher figure to see how much money you can save by paying off your debt faster. It will also show you how long it will take to pay off the loan at the higher monthly payment.
The questions concerning enrollment status, degree program and total years in college are optional and are designed to evaluate whether the total debt is excessive. The total years in college should include the total number of years in college so far (or projected) corresponding to the loan balance, including previous degrees received.

Authorities Blame Deadly Missouri Crash on Sneezing
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -A Kansas City toddler is recovering after a sneezing attack apparently caused a crash that killed his mother.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says 30-year-old Laura McClendon was killed late Wednesday after the driver of a minivan began "sneezing violently." The patrol says the minivan crossed the center line of a road near Smithville Lake, striking McClendon's car head-on. The patrol report says McClendon wasn't wearing a seat belt.
Her 1-year-old son is being treated at Children's Mercy Hospital.
Sgt. Collin Stosberg of the Missouri Highway Patrol says the minivan's driver has been charged with careless and imprudent driving, as well as for having no insurance.
The Kansas City Star reports that the patrol is continuing to investigate other possible crash factors, including cellphone use.

To paraphrase Tolstoy, happy weddings are all alike, but unhappy weddings are each unhappy in their own way. That's good news for moviegoers, as happy, snag-free weddings aren't much fun to watch. But there's plenty of vicarious pleasure to be had in watching weddings go off the rails. At least, that's what the makers of the new all-star farce The Big Wedding are counting on.
Many recent films have focused on weddings that go awry well before the bride walks down the aisle (Bride Wars, The Hangover, Bridesmaids). But there's nothing like watching a meticulously choreographed wedding and reception unravel and disintegrate into a shambles. (For one thing, anyone who remembers the glitches in his or her own wedding can take comfort in knowing how much worse things could have gone.) Here are ten stumbles down the aisle that, to the delight of movie audiences, went hilariously awry.
Next A Wedding

Earth from Space: Bumpy borders
The Tian Shan mountains, stretching across the border region of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and western China, are pictured in this Envisat image.
As one of the longest mountain ranges in Central Asia, the Tian Shan mountain range is about 2800 km long. They are home to evergreen spruce trees at altitudes of over 2000 m, while the lower slopes have natural forests of wild walnuts and apples.
The large, dark lake that splits the mountain range in eastern Kyrgyzstan (lower-left corner) is the second largest saline lake after the Caspian Sea.
Named Issyk Kul – meaning 'hot lake' in the Kyrgyz language because it never freezes over – it covers an area of over 6000 sq km and reaches over 600 m deep.
This was a stopover point on the Silk Road from the Far East to Europe, and some historians say it was the point of origin for the Black Death during the 14th century.
In the upper-right corner are the Dzungarian Basin and its Gurbantunggut Desert in light brown.
