I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Mary Ellen Mark. As a photographer, she was an exceptional talent using her camera to reveal the famous and the invisible with a poignant and beautiful eye. As a human being, she was generous and filled with an amazing compassion, though she didn't suffer fools lightly.
Her monographs served as part of my photographic education, teaching me that a portrait and a photo story was more than producing a pleasing picture. She demonstrated time after time that photographs can provide a voice for the voiceless and that such stories do matter. As a teacher and a mentor, she demanded much, but the results often revealed that the photographer was capable of far more than they might have settled for.
I was lucky enough to interview her for The Candid Frame (Ep. 194) several years ago. It is one of the highlights of my career as host/producer of The Candid Frame. I consider myself blessed and lucky to have had such an opportunity. Take a listen to a very remarkable woman. She will be missed.

In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses how to consider the use of umbrellas in a photographic composition. He shares how to use the line, shape, and color of an umbrella as a graphic element in the photograph that can complement the subject and the other elements in the frame.
In the spring of 1992, the city of Los Angeles erupted in civil unrest. Five Los Angeles police officers were acquitted of crimes related to the violent arrest of Rodney King. Captured on videotape, the beating was seen a visual confirmation of a history of brutality by the LAPD. Many believed that the recording provided incontrovertible evidence that would finally see justice served. Twelve jurors believed otherwise.

In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses what it takes to make a good photograph of an interesting character walking down the street. He demonstrates how to see beyond the subject and consider the relationship between the person(s) and the other people and elements in the frame. Using a variety of techniques, he suggests choices that can improve your ability to produce more consistent photographs.
While traveling in Paris recently, I had the pleasure of spending time with Canadian-based street photographer Olaf Sztaba. He was conducting a workshop in the City of Lights and luckily it coincided with our time there.

Additional books will be published with Workman in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
For many years, I was a writer for hire. I wrote countless magazine articles and books as the means by which I made a living. I loved writing and I loved photography and so I counted myself lucky that I could earn money from doing two things that I enjoyed and felt that I did well.
But about three years ago, I burned out. I was writing, but doing so for the sake of a paycheck. I had lost the joy and passion that had spurred me to make this my life's work. That decision resulted in a big financial hit, but I just didn't have it in me to keep pressing on.
If you have ever attended a workshop of mine, there is one rant you will always here and will likely always remember. I hate white cars.

In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses the creating and the processing of an image he made while visiting Paris where he is conducting interviews for his podcast, The Candid Frame. With an image he created at the Louvre, he explains how he discovered the scene and composed it by discovering the setting and building from there. He then walks you through his process for editing the image in Adobe Lightroom CC.
The last two months have been incredibly busy. Along with a personal life change, we began a garage conversion to provide me with a dedicated working space. I completed work on a new book, which is going to be released very soon. And as usual, I spent many hours securing interviews and preparing for each conversation to ensure a great episode for The Candid Frame.
What was sacrificed was time for making photographs. I was so busy, that I began forgetting to tote my camera with me.
Gerald Cyrus was born in 1957 in Los Angeles, CA and began photographing there in 1984. In 1990 he moved to New York City and obtained a Master of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in 1992. While at SVA, he also interned at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture under the supervision of Deborah Willis. During his time in New York, Cyrus photographed regularly on the streets of Manhattan, Harlem and Brooklyn, and in 1994, he started frequenting the nightclubs in Harlem and photographed the vibrant music scene in that historic neighborhood for over six years. The resulting body of work, entitled "Stormy Monday", was published as a book in 2008.
Some life change has required me to free up the second bedroom in our home and find another place to work. That place is my garage, which is currently being converted from a storage space and into an actual office/studio.

He specializes in fusing landscape & travel photography with experiential storytelling and practical instructing to help others grow creatively. He's spent the better part of a decade educating, empowering and inspiring photographers all around the world with his tutorials, videos, and stories.
In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses how to purposely observe a scene to create layered compositions. He explains how paying careful attention to fixed foreground, middle ground and background elements can build the foundation of a photograph that possesses greater depth.
The release of a major new camera brings out all the drama.
Along with the uber-hype of the manufacturer, there are those that parse every specification looking for evidence of the product's greatness or its obvious failings. Even before the camera has been used under real-world circumstances, everybody is ready to pick their corner. People don't even wait for the bell to ring before they start throwing punches.

My most favourite WiP!
I know, I know, it's been a long time... But I'm back and full of plans and inspiration for new blog posts! Later this week I have a lovely announcement to make (not a career move, not getting married, not getting divorced either, not relocating to a tropical island), but if you follow me on instagram, you probably know already what I'm talking about. ;-)
Meanwhile I really would like to share my favourite work in progress of this moment. And quite possibly my favourite work in progress EVER.
In short the story behind it. I love sourcing new yarn, yes I do! And a while back I had the luck of revisiting my favourite yarn store: The Craft Company in Cascais, Portugal. (Here's their facebook and here the website.) If you're ever near, it's well worth a detour. Actually, I have a picture of (a small part of) the shop! Isn't this just pure eye candy...
So I came back with lovely new yarns, among which BioBamboo of the Portuguese brand Rosários4. Incredibly soft, and the colours... Oh my word, they seemed to be made just for me. ;-)
But as I had no idea what to make yet, I just purchased one ball of each desired colour. I thought this would be a brilliant yarn for a pattern of one my Japanese crochet books. (We all LOVE those, don't we?) After some pondering the subject and browsing through the books I choose a lovely pattern from a book of which the English subtitle reads Crochet motif of 27 items. I thought it would make a wonderful scarf.
So I started crocheting. Soon however I fell head over heels in love EVEN MORE with both yarn and pattern, and most of all the wonderful combination of the two. Really, they work magic together.
It seemed pity to stick to the scarf idea. I mean, a scarf is okay and nice enough, but a BLANKET, well a blanket, that's just all comfort and snuggliness caught in yarn.
Luckily enough for me I could order more of this lovely yarn at the Craft Company (thank you!) and soon I can continue crocheting the blanket. I can't wait to finish this one.
Anyway! I guess that's it for now. Hopefully we'll catch up later this week. :-)
Have a good day & thank you so much for your lovely visit.

1. There's a lot of miscellaneous stories right now that deserve brief notice. Start with this headline: "VP Biden Says Educators Should Learn To Recognize Mental Illness."
Excuse me a minute while I clear out the coffee I snorted all over my keyboard.
2. Did you know that the IRS official who (badly) plays Spock in that infamous Star Trek parody video is named . . . Faris Fink. Now, he can't help his name, of course, but why haven't we gotten the obvious parody video from someone, entitled Faris Fink's Day Off? Oh, that's right—this wasn't a day off at all, but another day at the "office" for our self-entitled bureaucrats. Fink has "apologized," but defended the indefensible in his "apology" by saying "I think it is important to point out that in carrying out this 2010 meeting, we followed IRS and government procedures that were in place at the time."
That's exactly the problem. As Michael Kinsley famously remarked many years ago in one of his rare lucid moments, what's amazing in Washington isn't what's illegal, but what's legal. That such an egregious event as the IRS conference where this video was produced and displayed was within the existing government guidelines tells us all we need to know about what's wrong with our bloated, entitled government today.
3. Don't suppose this kind of bureaucratic presumption is limited to the IRS. The EPA, it turns out, has been building secret "man caves." Probably as a place to stash "Richard Windsor." Heh.
4. I know the Scottish supposedly speak the same language we do, but I'll need a translator for this 35-second clip from what appears to the Edinburgh equivalent of the Jerry Springer Show:
5. For John Hinderaker's beat: The Ten Most Beautiful Women of the Detroit Auto Show. What? How come no "Miss Prius"?
6. The Myth of the Scientific Liberal. Needs no further commentary from me.

London: The injury sustained by Manchester United defender Luke Shaw was caused by too many training sessions from new manager Louis van Gaal, former Wales assistant coach Raymond Verheijen said on Thursday.
England left back Shaw, signed from Southampton in the close season for around 30 million pounds ($50.06 million), may be out for a month with a hamstring problem and will definitely miss the start of the Premier League campaign at home to Swansea City on Saturday.
Verheijen called fellow Dutchman Van Gaal (LVG) a "great appointment" by United but at the same time accused the former Netherlands manager of "incompetence" and of working his players too hard. "What LVG proves is that top coaches are not perfect. Even the world`s best have deficiencies," Verheijen said on his Twitter feed.
"LVG is tactically superior to most other coaches but planning & periodisation is not his strongest point: double sessions & muscle injuries," added the Dutchman, an expert on football fitness and a frequent critic of the methods of top coaches.
"The Luke Shaw case is the climax of Manchester United`s predictable pre-season injury crisis due to `too much training too soon`."
Verheijen questioned why Shaw, 19, cut short his post-World Cup break and said he reported back for pre-season training too early.
Van Gaal accused the left back of being unfit on their pre-season tour of the United States.
"Luke Shaw had to do extra training to get fit. Who was in charge of his individual programme?," asked Verheijen. "LVG`s coaching skills & tactical superiority often compensate for this periodisation deficiency but there is clearly room for improvement."
Verheijen suggested Van Gaal`s methods were responsible for a spate of injuries among the Dutch players before and during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, a tournament where they finished third. "During the World Cup preparation the Dutch players had to do frequent double sessions so not surprisingly the muscle injuries accumulated," he said.
"At Man United, in the first few weeks, LVG has applied the same approach and, as expected, with the same result.
"But who is gonna tell a top coach that he has to raise his bar in a certain area? The `yes-men` in his coaching staff? Journalists? Who...?" Last season Verheijen attacked the training methods of Van Gaal`s United predecessor David Moyes after Dutch striker Robin van Persie was injured.
He has also been critical in the past of top managers like Roy Hodgson, Roberto Mancini and Chris Coleman.

- Premier League
QPR make late Remy bid to hijack Newcastle deal
Marseille striker Loic Remy will be left to choose between a move to either Newcastle United or Queens Park Rangers, or another unnamed club, who have all had bids accepted.
It is understood that both Premier League sides have seen their bids of around £8.6 million accepted, with QPR stealing into negotiations as it looked like Remy would be heading to Newcastle to undergo a medical.
Marseille sporting director Jose Angio confirmed QPR's interest and said the decision now rests with the player, with the London side believed to be able to offer the Frenchman far more in wages than the Magpies.
"The coach of QPR has a good reputation," Angio told RTL radio. "Remy will talk with them as he discusses with two other clubs. For Remy there is not just Newcastle, we also have an agreement with QPR and one other club. It is up to Remy to decide. I don't think Remy has shut the door on QPR as is being said everywhere."
Manager Harry Redknapp had attempted to sign Remy earlier in the window, and was seen in the crowd when Marseille took on Guingamp in the French Cup. However reports also claimed Remy had spurned the opportunity to meet with Redknapp after the game, preferring a move to Tyneside.
The news follows earlier comments from Hatem Ben Arfa and Mathieu Debuchy, welcoming their potential new teammate to Newcastle.
Speaking on beIN sport Ben Arfa said: "He's made the right choice. When he's confident he's a great forward. He'll enjoy playing in England."
Meanwhile full-back Debuchy confirmed that Yohan Cabaye had spoken with Remy on Sunday evening about a possible move to the north east.
"I'm still living with Yo[han] [Cabaye] and Remy telephoned last night," he told RMC Sport. "Remy asked Cabaye for news of the club and wanted to know how things work and how things are going at Newcastle."
Marseille's on-loan midfielder Joey Barton, who came from QPR, tweeted of the change in direction for the transfer on Monday night. "Just heard from a magician that Loic Remy has signed for QPR. Not sure what happened at Newcastle probably Llambas again!" he wrote. "Gift of the gab from Harry Redknapp perhaps? Thought it was done and dusted to Newcastle. Something must [have] gone amiss. Great news for QPR"

The Phillies' rationale for promotion Michael Taylor to Triple-A today was simple.
"He was ready," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said today.
One look at the numbers Taylor posted at Double-A Reading supports that observation. In 86 games, the 6-foot-6, 250-pound outfielder hit .333 with a .408 on base percentage, a .569 slugging percentage, and a .977 OPS. He hit 15 home runs in 318 at-bats, stole 18 bases, scored 59 runs, drove in 65, and struck out 51 times.
The Stanford University product turns 24 in December.
The promotion to Triple-A comes two weeks before the July 31 trading deadline. Amaro said today that Taylor is very much on the radar of potential trade partners with whom the Phillies have talked, although he declined to say whether Taylor was on the list of "untouchables" whom he told the media he would not trade last week.
"He's pretty popular," Amaro said. "There's no doubt about that."
With both of the Phillies corner outfielder signed through 2010, Taylor likely would not get a chance to break into the Phillies line-up until at least 2011, when he would be 26 years old. That makes him an ideal bargaining chip in a potential trade. The Phillies have maintained contact with the Blue Jays with regards to the availability of ace righthander Roy Halladay. But they are not limiting their options to a top-of-the-rotation starter. The Phillies said last year that they made an aggressive play for eventual Brewers lefty C.C. Sabathia. Instead, they settled for Joe Blanton, who played an important role in their World Series run.
Amaro did not rule out the potential of a big league promotion for Taylor at some point in the second half, although a lot depends on how he adjusts to Triple-A pitching. While he faced prospects with more upside in Double-A, in Lehigh Valley he will be squaring off against many pitchers who have big league experience and know how to exploit the holes in a young player's game.
"A lot of it depends on how he makes the adjustment," Amaro said. "We'll see how he adjusts."
More pre-game notes:
1) Pedro Martinez expects to throw a side session Saturday in Miami, then report to Clearwater on Monday. The Phillies do not have a definite schedule for his rehab assignments.
2) Clay Condrey should be activated from the disabled list in the near future. Condrey (oblique) has made three rehab appearances, most recently last night in Clearwater.
"I feel like I'm ready to go," Condrey said, "but I haven't talked to anybody (about returning to the roster)."
3) Rodrigo Lopez will throw a bullpen session on Saturday and is expected to be on the mound when the Phillies return to Citizens Bank Park Monday.

Canadian Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford said from Alberta that Canada's economic future depends on responsible resource development.
Rickford met his counterpart in Alberta, Diana McQueen, to discuss the task ahead for Canada's energy and economic future.
"Minister McQueen and I met and agreed that Canada's economic future depends on developing our natural resources responsibly," Rickford said in a statement Saturday. "We share key priorities: continuing to build on world-class environmental protection and safety, strengthening energy security, as well as creating jobs and economic prosperity."
Alberta holds some of the largest oil deposits in the world at its Athabasca deposit, located in the east of the province.
The heavier grade of crude oil found there is seen as a threat to the environment. It's more viscous and tends to linger in the environment longer if spilled.
McQueen said Rickford's vision for Canada's future is one based on energy security in a diverse global market.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has sought to add a layer of diversity to an energy export economy that depends almost exclusively on the United States.

The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell, after yesterday's rally, as Hewlett-Packard Co. tumbled and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the central bank's ability to offset headwinds is "not infinite."
HP slumped 12 percent as it announced a charge of $8.8 billion linked to its Autonomy Corp. business, saying there were "accounting improprieties" before its 2011 acquisition of the company. Best Buy Co. declined 13 percent as the largest consumer-electronics retailer reported a $10 million loss amid weaker-than-expected sales. Intel Corp. dropped 4.3 percent after UBS AG cut its rating for the largest chipmaker.
The S&P 500 fell 0.3 percent to 1,383.34 at 2:58 p.m. New York time. The benchmark index climbed 2 percent yesterday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 45.95 points, or 0.4 percent, to 12,750.01. Trading in S&P 500 companies was almost in line with the 30-day average at this time of day.
"Bernanke's comment was a polite way of telling Congress that they should not kick the can down the road," John Manley, who helps oversee about $207.5 billion as chief equity strategist for Wells Fargo Advantage Funds in New York. He spoke in a telephone interview. "While the disappointment in HP is putting pressure on the market, these may be HP's issues and not indicative of the overall economy. Europe is working on a solution, the issue is how quickly they get there. It's an incredibly volatile market."
Fed Chairman Bernanke said an agreement on ways to reduce long-term federal budget deficits could remove an impediment to growth, while failure to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff would pose a "substantial threat" to the recovery.
'Fiscal Clarity'
"Cooperation and creativity to deliver fiscal clarity --in particular, a plan for resolving the nation's longer-term budgetary issues without harming the recovery -- could help make the new year a very good one for the American economy," Bernanke said in remarks to the Economic Club of New York at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square. "The realization of all of the automatic tax increases and spending cuts that make up the fiscal cliff, absent offsetting changes, would pose a substantial threat to the recovery."
Stocks capped a two-day rally yesterday amid better-than- forecast housing data and as President Barack Obama expressed confidence on a budget agreement with Congress.
Housing starts in October rose to a four-year high. European finance ministers will try to plug a 15 billion-euro hole in Greece's finances and win over the International Monetary Fund in the latest installment of three years of debt- crisis brinkmanship. Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, who will oversee the finance-chief meeting, said he sees "good chances" of a deal being struck tonight.

LONDON (AP) — Cardinal Keith O'Brien had sparked more than his fair share of controversy before stepping down as archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh on Monday and announcing he wouldn't take part in the conclave to elect the next pope.
Known for his outspoken stances on abortion, same-sex marriage and flip-flopping on priestly celibacy, Britain's most senior Roman Catholic leader raised eyebrows even before he was named cardinal in 2003.
In recent years he has been noted for his blunt attacks on gay unions and abortion, which are very much in line with the Vatican position but which critics at home have said were unnecessary interventions into political life.
On Monday, O'Brien recused himself from the conclave to elect the next pope after allegations that he approached three priests and a former priest in an "inappropriate" manner were published in The Observer newspaper. The Vatican is investigating the allegations. Here are some of his statements:
O'Brien appeared to take an accepting stance toward homosexual priests around the time when he was appointed cardinal in 2003.
"If they are leading a celibate life, God bless the men," he was quoted as saying at the time.
But his acceptance doesn't extend to same-sex marriage. In recent years he has taken a hardline position against same-sex unions — which he called "harmful to the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of those involved." Last year, he lobbied against the Scottish government's plans to legalize gay marriage.
"All children deserve to begin life with a mother and father; the evidence in favor of the stability and well-being which this provides is overwhelming and unequivocal. It cannot be provided by a same-sex couple, however well-intentioned they may be," the cardinal wrote in a March 2012 piece in the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
He went on to argue that same-sex marriage is a "grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human rights," a stance that prompted angry rebukes from gay rights groups.
Church teaching holds that gays should be treated with dignity and respect but that homosexual acts are "intrinsically disordered." The church has opposed same-sex marriage unions because it believes marriage is a sacred union between man and woman.
O'Brien had also waded into the debate on abortion, causing a stir in 2007, when he urged voters to reject political candidates who defend what he called a "social evil" and "unspeakable crime."
He has compared the abortion rate to the Dunblane massacre — the 1996 shooting in Scotland that killed more than a dozen school children.
"We are killing — in our country — the equivalent of a classroom of kids every single day," he was quoted as saying by the BBC at the time.
Critics accused O'Brien of using inflammatory language and intervening in politics.
His comments, however, were perfectly in line with church teaching opposing abortion; the church holds that life begins at conception.
Despite his attack on gay marriage and abortion, O'Brien has been known to take a relatively liberal stance on homosexuality.
Shortly after he was named cardinal in 2003, O'Brien made an unusual public pledge to defend Roman Catholic Church teaching after he indicated there should be more open discussion on issues such as the requirement of celibacy for priests and the church's ban on contraception.
The cardinal largely kept those views to himself in the past decade, although he reiterated them last week in an interview with the BBC in which he indicated he was open to priests marrying and having children.
"The celibacy of the clergy, whether priests should marry — Jesus didn't say that," he said in the interview, broadcast Friday. "When I was a young boy, the priest didn't get married and that was it. I would be very happy if others had the opportunity of considering whether or not they could or should get married."
"We seem to be in a season of unprecedented precedents," said papal biographer George Weigel. "I would imagine that Cardinal O'Brien recused himself because he understood that his presence would be a distraction at what ought to be a time of serious reflection — in both the church and the press."

By Heather Johns
LEWISBURG, Pa. — They pedaled between 60 and 85 miles a day. They triumphed over challenging landscapes, experienced their first cycler's high and discovered a nation they realized they barely knew.
Over two months and more than 3,200 miles, a group of Bucknellians bonded with each other, their common goals, and the University that connects them.
Six college students, five of whom are from Bucknell University, crossed the nation from California to New York City on the Bicycles Against Poverty (BAP) Pedal for Purpose tour. Nicole Adler, Ziev Basson, Kaitlin Callahan, Kate Rolfes, Alex Sandoval and Colin Woolford left San Jose on June 8 and ended in New York City on Aug. 8, acting as agents of BAP, an organization that was started at Bucknell in 2008.
"It was a true pleasure to work with them throughout the spring and summer to make this tour a success," said Molly Burke '10, BAP executive director. "We couldn't have found a more resourceful, passionate, and bright group of students to represent the organization." || Read the riders' blog.
BAP is a nonprofit organization that distributes bicycles to individuals in Africa who pay back for the bikes in monthly installments. It has distributed 663 bicycles and reaches more than 2,000 individuals on a weekly basis. It received nonprofit status in early 2013 and is now a registered 501(c)3 organization.
"The trip is meant to inspire long lasting support from people who get to know about BAP through students cycling across the country," said BAP founder Muyambi Muyambi '12. "It not only supports the work we do in Uganda, but it also gives students the time of their life — literally."
In 2012, Muyambi and two other community members took a month-long coast-to-coast bike ride to raise money. The trip was the first of its kind for BAP, and inspired a letter of encouragement from President Obama. Muyambi hopes to garner enough support and corporate sponsorship this year to be able to run this trip annually.
BAP's message clearly resonates with the riders. "I am in Bucknell's Managing for Sustainability program, so I truly appreciate BAP's unique approach to helping a community through sustainable aid rather than simply charity," said Nicole Adler '15, Pedal for Purpose tour manager.
"BAP provides access to opportunity with a simple, low-cost piece of technology: the bike," said Kaitlin Callahan '15. "I'm inspired by BAP's micro finance model, which allows the recipients of the bikes to earn financial responsibility and appreciate the value of the bicycle."
Long and winding road
Pedal for Purpose taught the students about reaching and pushing beyond their limits, both physical and mental.
"Throughout the trip I learned a lot about my fellow Bucknellians," said Kate Rolfes '16. "They're a group that can effectively problem-solve through the most difficult situations in moments of stress — and that really says something not only for them, but what we've been taught at Bucknell."
The change they hope to make in the world was mirrored in the changes they saw in themselves as they crossed a country that was, in many ways, a strange land to them. "The U.S. is huge, and this is just one country," said Alex Sandoval '15, media and outreach coordinator. "Seeing it this way broadened my perspective on how to think."
Navigating the sometimes-difficult landscape instilled a new, bone-deep understanding of the terrain they crossed — and sometimes cursed. "I will remember the challenges of this trip the most — whether it's the physical challenges brought on by the Rockies, the scorching desert heat of the Mojave, or the mental challenges from the monotonous Nebraska plains," said Callahan. "The challenges kept me entertained on the trip and taught me the value of persistence."
Bucknell connection
The riders were raising money and awareness for a program that helps people in Africa, but in many ways, the summer-long ride deepened their connection to and appreciation for Bucknell.
"This trip enforced the idea that I love what I am studying," said Ziev Basson' 16. "Someone who really inspired me was a Bucknell bioengineering alumna. One of the projects she took on was cycling and numbness of the hands. I think it would be cool to tackle some of the engineering disadvantages of the bicycle, specifically, the comfort of the seat, and put to work what I now know about cycling and strain."
"My course curriculum has begun to parallel what BAP is representing and aiming for, so the Managing for Sustainability program will prove very helpful in understanding my work and furthering my passion for influencing change," said Adler.
A few days before ending their trip in New York City, the Pedal for Purpose crew rested their wheels at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Lewisburg. They were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of Bucknell students, faculty and staff, including President John Bravman.
The moment — like the ride — was something special.
"Being supported by Bucknell students and community always reminds me of what a god-given opportunity getting to Bucknell was," said Muyambi. "At BAP, we are always astonished by what Bucknell University, the alumni, faculty and staff do for us. I know that with such support, love, energy and commitment, BAP can accomplish anything."

Statement From CBS News
CBS News issued the following statement Monday.
Man Who Gave CBS News Disputed Documents Describes How He Obtained Them; In Television Interview, He Admits He Deliberately Misled CBS News Producer
CBS News Acknowledges That, Based on Subsequent Reporting on Questions About Documents, It Cannot Prove They are Authentic and, Therefore, They Should Not Have Been Used in the '60 Minutes Wednesday' Report
CBS News and CBS Management are Commissioning an Independent Review
NEW YORK, Sept. 20 -- Bill Burkett, in a weekend interview with CBS News Anchor and Correspondent Dan Rather, has acknowledged that he provided the now-disputed documents used in the Sept. 8 60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY report on President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard. Burkett, a retired National Guard lieutenant colonel, also admits that he deliberately misled the CBS News producer working on the report, giving her a false account of the documents' origins to protect a promise of confidentiality to the actual source. Burkett originally said he obtained the documents from another former Guardsman. Now he says he got them from a different source whose connection to the documents and identity CBS News has been unable to verify to this point. Burkett's interview will be featured in a full report on tonight's CBS EVENING NEWS WITH DAN RATHER (6:30-7:00 PM, ET/PT).
In light of this and other developments reported by CBS News and other news organizations, CBS News President Andrew Heyward issued the following statement: "60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY had full confidence in the original report or it would not have aired. However, in the wake of serious and disturbing questions that came up after the broadcast, CBS News has done extensive additional reporting in an effort to confirm the documents' authenticity. That included an interview featured on last week's edition of 60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY (15) with Marian Carr Knox, secretary to the late Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, the officer named as the author of the documents; the interview with Bill Burkett to be seen tonight (20); and a further review of the forensic evidence on both sides of the debate. Based on what we now know, CBS News cannot prove that the documents are authentic, which is the only acceptable journalistic standard to justify using them in the report. We should not have used them. That was a mistake, which we deeply regret. Nothing is more important to us than our credibility and keeping faith with the millions of people who count on us for fair, accurate, reliable, and independent reporting. We will continue to work tirelessly to be worthy of that trust."
CBS News and CBS management are commissioning an independent review of the process by which the report was prepared and broadcast to help determine what actions need to be taken. The names of the people conducting the review will be announced shortly, and their findings will be made public.
Last week, amid increasing questions about the authenticity of documents used in support of a 60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY story about President Bush's time in the Texas Air National Guard, CBS News vowed to re-examine the documents in question -- and their source -- vigorously. And we promised that we would let the American public know what this examination turned up, whatever the outcome.
Now, after extensive additional interviews, I no longer have the confidence in these documents that would allow us to continue vouching for them journalistically. I find we have been misled on the key question of how our source for the documents came into possession of these papers. That, combined with some of the questions that have been raised in public and in the press, leads me to a point where -- if I knew then what I know now -- I would not have gone ahead with the story as it was aired, and I certainly would not have used the documents in question.
But we did use the documents. We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry. It was an error that was made, however, in good faith and in the spirit of trying to carry on a CBS News tradition of investigative reporting without fear or favoritism.
Please know that nothing is more important to us than people's trust in our ability and our commitment to report fairly and truthfully.

The General Accounting Office recently issued a frightening report. They predicted total disaster with a collapse of our dollar if President Obama and the Democrats do not cut government spending and reform entitlements. The Republicans already did this in the House.
Our country is bankrupt. Every year we spend a trillion dollars more than we take in, but this president will not reform entitlements or cut spending. In four years he has increased our debt to $16 trillion and now wants to extract enough taxes from �the rich� to pay for his new, increased level of spending.
The GAO says it will not work, yet Mr. Obama has told House Speaker John Boehner that �we do not have a spending problem.� He sets up councils and commissions to come up with recommendations and then ignores them � and, more often than not, does the opposite.
This country�s precarious position is far worse than the �financial crisis� Mr. Obama inherited four years ago, and yet he refuses to heed the warnings of the GAO.
Can you explain why this is not being reported by the mainstream media? Don�t the American people deserve to know what is happening to their country?
It�s absolutely shocking to me that none of this is ever discussed in the Telegram & Gazette. Why?

It's 5 a.m. and close to 90 degrees and humid. A fan shifts back and forth, cooling my feet but little else. I am sleeping in a hospital bed, in a ward with five other Jesuits. The bathroom adjacent to our room has semi-running water and a toilet, sans seat. An elderly man standing outside our room groans. He is hungry, but breakfast will be served at eight. Another resident comes to help him dress; he forgot to put on pants and underwear. A fellow Jesuit asks, "It can't get much worse, right?"
Tapachula, Mexico, borders Guatemala. A place of transit, the town boasts two shelters for men, women and children migrating north. We are staying in a hospital for migrants who suffer illness or injury. Many are missing limbs, a leg or arm, sometimes both. Called the Albergue of Jesus, the Good Shepherd of the Poor and the Migrant, the shelter welcomes us. We look out of place.
Ten days earlier our journey began in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The day I landed, a 26-year-old man, Alex, arrived at a nearby terminal on a flight paid for by the U.S. government. Alex is a retornado, a returned one, deported "home" to Honduras. He and 180 other deportees, mostly men, share similar stories. Alex lived in Los Angeles since age 13 and was most comfortable speaking English. Alex asked if I was from "I.C.E.", U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I answered in Spanish: I was in formation for the priesthood; we had come to learn about human migration, so that we could be of help. While Alex thought it "cool" that we were there, it was quite apparent that we could not help. They were on their own, given the equivalent of eight dollars and a bus ticket. Some would immediately try to return to the states; others would seek out extended family. Many, like Alex, were unsure what to do. Their wives, children, girlfriends live in the United States. These men, however, no longer did. Should they restart life in Honduras without them?
Of the migrant people from Latin America who attempt entry into the United States, 80 percent come from Honduras. The rest trickle in from El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and even Ecuador. They travel through Mexico, and into one of several gateways: the desert of Sonora, or across the Rio Bravo, the nickname of the Rio Grande. Twenty percent of migrants are women; 20 percent are minors. A few travel with friends or family, some with a coyote, a person paid upward of $3,000 to assist them on the journey. If they do not make it across the first time, the price often covers a second or third attempt. However, the fee could be raised mid-transit; at times, paid guides abandon migrants.
Northern Mexico remains under the control of gangs and narcotraficantes, who capture the migrants and charge them another fee ($300 to $1,000) to enter and exit their territory. When they cannot pay, migrants are murdered or forced to carry drugs across the border. Such harassment comes after a grueling journey: walking, hitchhiking or jumping onto moving freight trains for hundreds of miles.
On the Migrant Path
The migrant journey is well documented. The route our group of Jesuits makes departs from Tapachula, to Arriaga, Ixtepec, Coatzacoalcos, Acayucan, Tierra Blanca, Puebla, Mexico City, Leon, Saltillo, Cuidad Juarez, ending in Nogales, Ariz. This is one of many routes that migrant peoples travel, depending upon which trains are running and their desired crossing point. Traveling in buses in better condition than Greyhound, we will have food, shelter, medical assistance, days of rest, prayer and moral support.
The migrants receive periodic food and shelter, but little rest. Prayer and moral support remains hard to come by, as is medical assistance if they fall off the train. Some will die along the way. Many will turn back. Robbery and abductions are common. Many women and some men suffer rape. No one makes the journey without serious reservations.
The risks remain high; the young are the most vulnerable. When young people in Central America make the decision to leave, they do so because they lack a future. If they die on the journey, they suffer no more than if they had stayed home. Violence and poverty plague their countries of origin. Everyone knows someone who has made it to the States. Can they make it too?
We leave Tapachula and the conditions worsen. In Arriaga, my companions sleep on the concrete floor of a kitchen. In Ixtepec, we sleep outside; there is no room at the inn. The railroad near Coatzacoalcos washes out in heavy rain, so the migrants walk eight days with blistered feet to Tierra Blanca. Our bus, delayed 12 hours and routed through a different city, breaks down. In Acayucan, two Jesuits fall ill. At midnight we arrive at the clinic for IVs. At 2 a.m. we depart, rehydrated. Our group separates: three travel to the Jesuit infirmary in Mexico City, the others stay in Tierra Blanca, greeting migrants with fresh clothes, warm food and an opportunity to shower.
The trip continues north. I become tried, cranky and angry. Angry that I'm tired, angry at living on someone else's schedule. Angry that poverty and suffering exist.
In Saltillo, in northern Mexico, men arrive who we served in Arriaga and Tierra Blanca, far south. They've made it! I'm less angry now. I'm blessed. A cruel system that hurts people exists; but I see God overcoming it. I meet strong people filled with faith. God draws close. Our last night in Saltillo we celebrate Mass with 100 migrants. We thank them for sharing their stories and lives with us, for revealing God to us.
Then it's time for karaoke. Every country represented sings a song: Panama, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, the United States. I sing "Country Roads, Take Me Home" with another Jesuit. While the lyrics may have been lost on some, most people know a word or two of English. Home, a word we all understand, is a place we want, even when it means migrating to it from afar.

text: NAMI Congratulates Gov. Carper For Signing Equal Insurance Coverage Into Law May 14 1998 Arlington, VA - Laurie Flynn, executive director of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), congratulated Governor Thomas Carper (D) for signing House Bill 156 into law today, putting an end to insurance discrimination against thousands of people with mental illness in Delaware. HB156 will require health insurers to provide coverage for biologically based mental illnesses under the same terms and conditions of coverage offered for physical illnesses. "Governor Carper has made an enormous difference in the lives of thousands in the First State. For some, it could be the difference between life and death," said Flynn. "Delaware state leaders have validated in legislation what researchers have proven in science: mental illnesses are brain disorders and treatment works." Receiving special recognition by NAMI are the bill's sponsors, Representative Jane Maroney (R) and Senator Patricia Blevins (D), for their tireless effort and steadfast dedication to bring equal insurance coverage to every Delaware citizen. HB 156 received unanimous support in the Senate and overwhelming support in the House. The Alliance for the Mentally Ill in Delaware (the Alliance) attributes strong support for HB156 to a coalition of interests that were brought together when forming the bill. Advocates for the mentally ill, legislators, and business interests all joined to write one of the nation's most comprehensive parity bills. "Parties representing very different viewpoints came together with the goal of helping thousands of Delaware families struggling with mental illness," stated Mark Pacilio, executive director of the Alliance. "We identified a need, educated one another on the issues, and worked to produce a piece of legislation that will benefit countless people in our state." Studies show that states with parity laws experience no significant increase in premium costs and may even experience a decrease in certain instances. These findings persuaded business leaders in Delaware to back the HB156. Rich Heffron, senior vice president for government affairs at the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce, stated, "This is a first step in getting adequate coverage for mental illness in Delaware. We felt this was the right thing to do and worked diligently with the Delaware Alliance on this legislation." The cooperation between mental health advocates and business leaders in Delaware is in stark contrast to other states around the nation where parity laws are pending. In neighboring Pennsylvania, a mental health anti-discrimination bill introduced by Representative Thomas Gannon (R) is being aggressively fought by insurance industry lobbyists and business interests, even though all available evidence indicates parity laws have little impact on insurance costs for businesses. For too long, people with treatable mental illnesses have been denied access to medical care due to discriminatory insurance policies. Unlike physical illnesses, most insurers place severe restrictions on services for mental illnesses and impose unrealistic spending caps for treatment needs. Some offer no coverage at all. The bill's primary sponsor, Representative Jane Maroney (R), sees this as an incremental step toward removing the stigma of mental illness. "Passing HB156 demonstrates that we recognize mental illness as a biologically based disorder. We are finally beginning to address the discrimination that exists against people with mental illness and shift the focus of conversation to true causes and treatment." More states across the nation recognize the ongoing discrimination against people with mental illness and are passing parity legislation. In total, 18 states have enacted laws that prohibit health insurance discrimination against people with mental illness: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and Vermont.

Széchenyi Baths
The Széchenyi Baths are one of the largest bathing complexes in all Europe, and the only "old" medicinal baths to be found in the Pest side of the city. The indoor medicinal baths date from 1913 and the outdoor pools from 1927.
There is an atmosphere of grandeur about the whole place with the bright, largest pools resembling aspects associated with Roman baths, the smaller bath tubs reminding one of the bathing culture of the Greeks, and the saunas and diving pools borrowed from traditions emanating in northern Europe. The three outdoor pools (one of which is a fun pool) are open all year, including winter. Indoors there are over ten separate pools, and a whole host of medical treatments is also available.
The thermal water is drawn from both natural springs and a 3,000-foot deep artesian well drilled in the 1870's (the temperature of the water coming from this well is 165°F (74°C)). If you have seen winter pictures of men playing chess in an outdoor pool while the steam rises around them, then this is where they were taken.
Water temperatures: 68-100°F (20-38°C). Pools: outdoor swimming pool, fun pool and thermal pool, twelve indoor thermal pools. Water mineral content: thermal water containing nitrates, calcium-magnesium-hydrogen-carbonates and sulphate-chlorides, as well as fluoride ions and metaboric acid in significant quantities.

An Alamance County woman has come forward to claim her $1 million prize in last week's historic Powerball drawing.
Robin Stanfield of Mebane won the prize after buying the ticket from the Super Kmart Express on Huffman Mill Road in Burlington.
She won the prize by matching all five white numbers, which have odds of 5 million to 1. Had she matched the Powerball, she would have split the record $587.5 million jackpot with two other tickets in Missouri and Arizona.
Stanfield received $680,000 after taxes. She plans to use the money to pay off her house mortgage, send her daughters to college, do some traveling and give some to her church.

Clay Pot Chicken with Mushroom
Clay Pot Chicken with Mushroom Recipe | Easy Asian Recipes
12 oz skinless and boneless chicken breast/thigh, cut into bite-sized cubes
6 dried shiitake mushrooms
2 tablespoons oil
1-inch piece peeled ginger, cut into slices
1/2 cup water
2 stalks scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
Salt to taste
1/2 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1/2 tablespoon corn starch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
3 dashes white pepper
A few drops dark soy sauce, optional, for coloring purposes
Heat up the clay pot with the oil. Add in the ginger and stir-fry until aromatic. Add the chicken into the clay pot and stir for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and do a few quick stirs. Pour in the sauce, stir to combine well. Add the water and lower the heat to low. Cover the clay pot and let cook and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Add the scallions, stir for a few times and the clay pot chicken with mushroom is now ready to serve. If it's not salty enough, add a little salt to taste.
Recently, my friend told me that I should be sharing more everyday recipes on Rasa Malaysia—meaning homey recipes that can be served on a constant basis. Truth be told, I cook and eat mostly everyday dishes at home. I mean, blog aside, most of the recipes I make are humble, everyday dishes that you will want to eat over and over again, without ever getting bored. Clay pot chicken with mushroom is one of them. I don't know why it has taken me this long to share this wonderful recipe; I guess the notion that it is not that visually appealing is the main reason.
Anyway, during winter months, I use my clay pot almost once a week. I have so many recipes that can be easily prepared in a clay pot, for examples: Taiwanese 3-Cup Chicken, Sesame Oil Chicken, Cantonese Beef Stew, Malaysian Yong Tow Foo, Curry Fish Head, Bak Kut Teh, pork belly in soy sauce, and braised pork ribs with daikon. Clay pot is without a doubt one of my favorite kitchen utensils. The thought of something stewing, braising, and simmering in this kitchenware is enough to stir up my appetite.
Clay pot chicken with mushroom is a very versatile dish. You can throw in extra ingredients to dress up this humble dish—carrot, daikon, onion, or even Cantonese lap cheong (sausage). Either way, the taste is remarkable and the sauce is great with a bowl of soft, fluffy steamed rice.

Plastered on the front door is a reminder to get some Galette de Roi while you can...
Inside crowns and signs abound...
Hi Carol--I hope you are warm and toasty.
I have a tech question--when you photograph inside the lovely bakeries--do you use flash or not--I have tried with the flash and my photos do not come out that good.
Please any advice will do--I am starting a blog...will keep you posted--I told a friend about you and how a very nice e-mail comes daily--I hope she will check you out--she loves water colors and stuff(and has some money to spend).
in fact with a digitsl camera you NEVER NEED TO USE THE FLASH, unless shooting whirling dirvishes at night to stop the action.
I shoot indoors using the lite balance setting...
Bon Chance!

You'd have to have been hiding under a rock for the past month to not know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And for all of the sporting of pink ribbons (and pink just-about-everything-else), walks for breast cancer, and lectures on the importance of early detection, young women are often left feeling like there's little for them to do beyond breast self-exams, given that mammograms are usually reserved for women 40+. We all know that breast cancer continues to strike women at an alarming rate -- about 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lives -- and while your risk prior to age 40 is less than later in life, we spoke with Dr. Marisa Weiss, president and founder of Breastcancer.org and a practicing breast oncologist, to learn about the choices young women -- and especially moms -- can make now to protect themselves against breast cancer.
Dr. Weiss, author of Taking Care of Your Girls: A Breast Health Guide for Girls, Teens, and In-Betweens, explained that female breasts are highly impressionable from their emergence during puberty (these days possibly as early as 7 years old) until a woman's first full-term pregnancy, meaning that they respond to a full range of chemicals as well as estrogen until they mature in preparation for breastfeeding, following a full-term pregnancy. Everything from your weight, things you put into your body, when you have your first full-term pregnancy, whether you breastfeed, and more can influence your breast cells during that time. And while you can't control your genetic risk factors, there are small, easy changes that you can make now in your everyday life to lower your risk for breast cancer later in life.
Dr. Weiss suggests the following steps to help keep yourself healthy:
- If you're in a position to do so, consider having children earlier, ideally before age 30 (but of course, if that's not when you're truly ready to become a mom, DON'T!)
- If possible, breastfeed your baby (the greatest protection for breasts is from breastfeeding for a year, but any nursing is better than none)
All women
- Get and stick to a healthy weight
- Don't smoke
- Limit alcohol use to 5 or fewer drinks per week
- Get enough sleep (generally aim for about 8 hours a night)
- Exercise 3-4 hours per week
- Buy organic produce instead of conventional, especially when it comes to the Environmental Working Group's "Dirty Dozen" list of fruits and veggies treated with the greatest amount of pesticide (hint: celery, peaches, strawberries, apples, and blueberries were in the top 5)
- Buy hormone-free and non-fat dairy products
- Remove skin and fat from meats you eat
- Stick to a mostly plant-based diet: two-thirds of your plate should be veggies, fruits, seeds, grains, nuts, etc. – any red meat, poultry, etc. should be used as a side dish
- Eat small meals throughout the day to help keep your hormones at a steady level
- Check out non-hormonal methods of effective birth control, e.g., diaphragms, condoms, or a non-hormonal IUD like Paragard
- If you use a hormonal method of birth control, like the Pill, take breaks from it if possible
- Perform breast self-exams (you can learn how to perform a breast self-exam here) and get a clinical breast exam as part of your regular check-up with your health professional

MOSCOW - Russia's defence minister expressed horror on Monday that soldiers were still wrapping cloths around their feet instead of wearing socks, and vowed the historic practice must end this year. "I would like to give an order that in 2013, at least by the end of the year, we forget the word 'foot cloths'," a grim-faced Sergei Shoigu told military top brass at a televised meeting. "I ask for extra funds to be issued if necessary so that we completely give up this concept in the armed forces."
Russia's military leaders have repeatedly vowed to ban the practice, dating back a hundred years, as part of an attempt to modernise the sprawling armed forces.
Soldiers wind pieces of cloth around their feet, which some say is more practical for use with tall boots, but the practice is seen as shamefully old-fashioned.
The Russian armed forces modernised its uniform in 2008 with help from top fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin, including cotton socks.
"This is 2013. We are still talking about foot cloths," Shoigu said, adding that he had seen the practice while visiting units in recent months.
"Listen, I am amazed at such an attitude to our troops. Find the level of demand and solve this task," the former emergencies minister ordered brusquely.
Foot cloths and tall boots were taken off the list of essential elements of uniform for the armed forces in 2007 but their use continued and was never banned, a source in the defence ministry told the state RIA Novosti news agency.
Soldiers still wear tall boots for some tasks and foot cloths are more suitable than socks, the source admitted.
"It's very uncomfortable wearing socks with tall boots. The feet quickly get rubbed raw and socks wear out instantly."
Shoigu was appointed defence minister by President Vladimir Putin in November last year after the sacking of his predecessor Anatoly Serdyukov, who is currently being questioned as a witness in a vast corruption scandal.

Thanks for this, Carol. What a fascinating woman! I think my husband has read anything ever written on Napoleon. He admires him greatly. Not his megalomania certainly, but his military tactics and the life he made for himself. Have preordered Kate Williams book on US Amazon, being released Nov. 4 - yikes!ReplyDelete
So glad you are posting even with a broken leg. I haven't had a broken leg but I have had 2 total knee replacements. 6 weeks does seem to be the magic number of days it takes our bodies to heal and then it's time for rehab. Take the time to paint lots of your fabulous still life paintings and scenes from all your wonderful photos. It will go quickly if you stay busy.ReplyDelete
Thinking of you today, Carol! Merci for the advanced notice of new book about Josephine! I really would like to learn more about her life. I have visited Fontainebleau and saw her bedroom there.ReplyDelete
My instructions when I had my cast was NOT to stick anything down inside it to scratch BECAUSE our skin would be dry and sensitive. I had regular 2-week visits with Dr. and each time my cast was taken off (oooh - it felt wonderful to have my wrist and forearm free - if only for minutes!) for xrays, viewing by Dr. and then a new oftentimes smaller, lighter cast was put on - but mine was wrist break. Now is velcro/foam removable brace (5 weeks from break). Time did go by quickly. Keep smiling...you have many friends wishing we could be there for you and many who must be there for you, too.

Today's post is absolutely glorious!ReplyDelete
Malmaison is her masterpiece.Though I've seen Josephine's bedrooms,gowns(those shoes!) and her roses(Redoute drawings are favorites of mine,too) I didn't fully realize what an incredible woman she was.
Speaking of incredible,Carol, that word describes you!

Perfect subject to write about to help you get back on your feet ! After your ankle break, it's a good sign ! I know that for your recovery time, you're going to do it in style..... Her legacy reverberates! Thanks Carol

Not a big fall but big enough :(
Love the post. I think Jackie Kennedy really emulated her, Diane de Poitiers and other French faves. Carol, so sorry about your leg, I've also had a break and went through that with the UCSF Sports Medicine practice. Can't emphasize enough the difference optimal NUTRITION makes. Google 'best nutrition for bone fractures" etc....and cut paste whatever it is you'll really like and eat and then cut all else out. I can tell you IT WORKS. I'm health oriented and daily exercise. But it's particular diet you need. I didn't start mine til late into bone break when getting frustrated--lived in San Francisco--you can imagine hobbling the hills on crutches. Do check it out. I tried to cut and paste here but was too long and wouldn't let me. All best. Hugs.ReplyDeleteReplies
No edit button! Removed to change PS: They usually don't tell you that if not healing apace, then start mentioning "surgery" which happened 5 frustrating weeks or so into break. That's when started specific broken bone nutrition and taking fizzy calcium as absorbs more readily into system. Look into Flower Essence practitioner, too if possible. If good, they are true miracle workers. On the bright side, lucky you didn't crack your noggin'....Keep your leg and spirits up. We're all sending you healing thoughts...Delete
Bonjour Carol. I have been away from months; I return and find out you broke your leg? Still, you manage to report on your blog and cover Josephine's life with excellent photos and a good story. Kuddos. Hope all is well in Paris. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete

Making friends and influencing people
Participants proud to have their diploma
Life is often the better for making new friends and building bridges. And that, is exactly what the children enrolled in the education and welfare project based at St Cristofer's did recently, with some guests invited from Calotesti–Budesa. This is another rural village commune at the heart of Arges County, which nestles on the left bank of the Arges River, where it forms the Budeasa reservoir,
The kids arrived fairly pooped, after quite a long hot bus journey and were welcomed with a superb buffet lunch served in St Cristofer's garden play area. The weather was more than kind, allowing for lots of outdoor fun and games, activities to help everyone to get to know one another. The local caterer having heard of the event, had very generously, sponsored lunch for everyone. After a great lunch, and a quick reviving siesta, everyone got down to business in hand with as lots of joint activities and games. There was a quiet friendly rivalry to see who knew more, who learnt more in school but also a lot of mutual help to see each other to finish each task just in time.
Towards the end of their day together, everyone received a lovely diploma for hard work and in friendship; they raised a glass of fruit juice in the honour of newfound friends. A great time, was had by all, everyone enjoyed himself or herself and everyone was inclusively made part of the day. No one was made to feel 'different' or seemed to notice that the visitors came not only from a different village, but also from a different ethnic community (namely the Roma community), nor was anyone labelled as poor or in need. They were all, as the Scot's would say "all just Jock Tamson's bairns."
It soon become clear that the children had more in common than divided them and that is how we should feel every day at school and in our neighbourhoods.

Lakers appoint D'Antoni as new coach
LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Lakers have appointed Mike D'Antoni as their new coach on a multi-year contract, the NBA team's spokesman John Black announced.
D'Antoni takes over from Mike Brown, who was sacked last Friday, and his hiring brought an abrupt end to speculation that Hall of Fame coach Phil Jackson would come out of retirement to coach the Lakers.
The underachieving team is due to hold a press conference to announce the deal either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash have both supported the appointment, according to the Lakers' website on Monday.
Nash played for D'Antoni in Phoenix when the point guard won consecutive Most Valuable Player awards in 2005 and 2006, and Bryant worked with D'Antoni this summer when the coach was an assistant on the US Olympic team staff.
Brown was fired after the Lakers 1-4 start to the season. Under interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff they have since won two games.
A Lakers statement said owner Jerry Buss, executive vice president Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak "were unanimous that D'Antoni was the best coach for the team at this time."
The Los Angeles Times reported that Bickerstaff would remain in that role until D'Antoni takes over, possibly within a week or two. D'Antoni is recovering from knee replacement surgery.
D'Antoni has previously been the head coach for Denver, Phoenix and most recently the New York Knicks. He resigned as Knicks head coach last March with the team just 18-24, and was 121-167 in nearly four full seasons with New York.
On Saturday Jackson appeared to be the top contender for the job, although on Sunday there were reports of various issues between him and the club ranging from his reluctance to travel to all away games and Jackson's desire to have input into personnel decisions.
In two prior stints with the Lakers, Jackson guided the club to five titles. He spent five seasons as head coach in Los Angeles, from 1999-2004, winning three titles.
He then sat out a year before returning for a six-year run that featured back-to-back championships.
Jackson, who guided Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls to six championships, retired in May of 2011 after the Dallas Mavericks swept Los Angeles from the playoffs to end a Lakers season that Jackson had said would be his last.
