H.L. Mencken — writer, journalist and prominent iconoclast of the century past — took a generally dim view of the clergy (along with many other things). But his view of Cardinal James Gibbons, archbishop of Mencken's Baltimore for 44 crucial years, was different.
Writing after the cardinal's death in 1921, the Sage of Baltimore — Mencken, that is — remarked that "more presidents than one sought the counsel of Cardinal Gibbons ... a man of the highest sagacity, a politician in the best sense." There was "no record," Mencken added, the late prelate "ever led the Church into a bog or up a blind alley."
High praise, considering the source.
In a long, fruitful career as leader of the American hierarchy, James Gibbons combined diplomacy, patriotism and a canny understanding of human nature in a manner that made him the most effective advocate before or since of the Americanization of American Catholicism. To him more than anyone, the Catholic Church owes both the advantages and the unintended consequences of assimilation into American secular culture.
Above all, he believed with all his heart that this nation he loved was a congenial home for the Church he also loved. In a sermon in Rome in 1887, he declared his "deep sense of pride and gratitude" for "the civil liberty we enjoy in our enlightened republic." Whether he would say quite the same thing today is anybody's guess.
James Gibbons was born in Baltimore on July 23, 1834, the fourth of six children of Thomas and Bridget Gibbons, an Irish immigrant couple. His father, a grocer, suffered from tuberculosis and, hoping the move would benefit his health, took the family back to Ireland in 1839. After the elder Gibbons' death, mother and children returned to the United States and settled in New Orleans.
Feeling drawn to the priesthood, young James entered the seminary in Baltimore in 1855 and was ordained in 1861. After pastoral assignments that included service during the Civil War as volunteer chaplain at Fort McHenry, he was appointed secretary to Archbishop Martin John Spalding and helped in preparations for the Second Plenary Council of Baltimore.
In 1868, responding to a request from that assembly of the nation's bishops, Pope Pius IX established a new quasi-diocese called an apostolic vicariate in North Carolina, and appointed Gibbons to head it, naming him a bishop. In 1872 he was transferred to Richmond as its fourth ordinary while remaining in charge of the North Carolina vicariate.
In North Carolina and Virginia in those years, Catholics were few and far between. Traveling widely, the young bishop met many Protestants. The experience provided him with material for a work of apologetics, "Faith of Our Fathers." Published in 1876, the book became one of the top religious bestsellers of all time. Bishop Gibbons was the second youngest bishop at the First Vatican Council of 1869-70 and there voted in favor of defining the doctrine of papal infallibility. In May of 1877, Pope Pius named him coadjutor archbishop of Baltimore. He became archbishop a few months later.
Students of Gibbons' life and career find in him many praiseworthy traits. Msgr. John Tracy Ellis, author of a massive two-volume biography published in 1952, lists among these the habit of consulting others before making decisions, consideration for the feelings of others, a "naturally irenic temperament," balanced judgment and keen intelligence. But he also had his faults, including a certain vanity when it came to the perks and prerogatives of his office and — a frequent source of frustration to his more impetuous colleagues — a well-known hesitance and indecisiveness in making up his mind and taking a stand.
Becoming archbishop of Baltimore, the oldest diocese in the U.S., had made him de facto primate of the American hierarchy, but only in presiding successfully at the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1884 did he emerge as a truly national figure. Unconvinced at first regarding the need for such a meeting of bishops, he eventually became a strong supporter of the program for the fast-growing Church.
In 1886, Pope Leo named him a cardinal, only the second American to be so honored. Time and again in the years that followed, he played a key role in issues that confronted American Catholicism. Keeping The Catholic University of America afloat when bad investments threatened its survival in 1904 was one.
But the cardinal's finest hour may have been his timely backing for the organized labor movement in its early days. Leading the way at the start was a group called the Knights of Labor that included many Catholic working men as members. At the Vatican, though, the Knights were viewed with suspicion as a secret society. Condemnation by the pope seemed likely. At that juncture, Cardinal Gibbons weighed in with a memorial to Rome defending the organization and arguing that the Church should stand with the workers. Not only was there no papal condemnation, historians consider Gibbons' intervention at a crucial juncture critical to maintaining friendly relations between the Church and the American labor movement.
A decade later, with tensions over Cuba mounting between the U.S. and Spain, the Cardinal sought to head off American military action. But when peace efforts failed and the Spanish-American War broke out, he lined up four-square on the side of the United States.
Similar unconditional patriotism also colored his reaction to World War I. In April 1917, the cardinal published a statement containing the remarkable assertion that the first duty of a citizen is "absolute and unreserved obedience to his country's call." While the claim no doubt mirrored its time and place, it would be hard today to find theologians or Church leaders who would say anything like that.
Inevitably, Cardinal Gibbons was embroiled in a tangled controversy in the closing years of the 19th century over a phenomenon known to history as Americanism. Central to it was an assortment of ideas involving the separation of church and state that was starting to spread in France and other European countries that the Holy See associated with U.S. Catholicism.
Cardinal Gibbons and his friends scrambled to head off a papal condemnation, but this time they failed. In January 1899, Pope Leo XIII published a document — written in the form of a letter to Gibbons and titled Testem Benevolentiae ("Witness to Good Will") — which came down hard on Americanism. Although historians who are themselves Americanists pooh-pooh the papal document, it's a surprisingly farsighted warning against attitudes that in recent times have done much to sap the strength of American Catholicism. Among the errors noted by Pope Leo was the opinion that everyone is entitled to his own opinion on religious questions insomuch as the Holy Spirit inspires individuals to decide these matters for themselves as if by "a kind of hidden instinct."
The cardinal and his Americanist colleagues were appalled by the papal condemnation, and Cardinal Gibbons replied with a long, formal letter to Leo XIII thanking him profusely and assuring him that of course no one held the views he had condemned. In fairness to the cardinal, it must be said that he most certainly didn't. That no one else did is not so clear. Today many do.
During the Gibbons era, millions of Catholic immigrants and their children and grandchildren entered the American mainstream with the enthusiastic blessing of the cardinal. Not long before his death on March 24, 1921, his great friend Theodore Roosevelt called him as "the most useful citizen of our country." At least from an American point of view, that may have been no exaggeration.

Nene Leakes took loud mouth shtick to The Insider show last night, and unleashed a verbal attack on Michael Lohan.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star was on a panel during the Wednesday episode of the show, and the topic of discussion was whether or not Michael was a toxic parent. Michael is the father of Lindsay Lohan.
Right away, Nene began sounding off on Michael saying, "You are a toxic parent!" she continues, "You are a manipulator, you're just trying to make money off your daughter Lindsay!" She even went as far as to refer to Michael as a "broke ass," which is interesting coming from someone who was evicted from her rented home only a year ago.
Michael, never one to keep his lips sealed, responded, "I'm not gonna see my daughter die! You have Michael Jackson, you had Heath Ledger, Adam Goldstein. You can go back to John Belushi, Anna Nicole Smith, and even Elvis Presley. It was prescription drugs that killed these people. I'm not gonna watch my daughter die."
The fight got a bit more personal as Michael advised NeNe to "Do something worthwhile and promote Nutri-System! Give your chair a break and move your fat a**!"
Michael has since apologized for his statements on the show releasing the following statement –
"I apologize to the producers of ["The Insider"], the viewers and even Miss Leakes for coming back at her, for her attack on me, in the inappropriate manner I did. I do however wish I had known she was on the panel because then I would have known what I was in for and I would have handled things differently.
"To begin with, she may have children, but none in a crisis situation. Second, for her to call me a broke ass when I am not, but she had a house in foreclosure and 2 cars repoed [sic], I would have addressed that as well.
A video of the two going at it is below –

Update: MediaLibrary can now be found in the official module list.
Out of necessity, I've started to implement a simple media library module.
The basic mechanism is that it adds a MediaLibrary template with file and image fields. Pages of this type can be added anywhere in the page tree.
The link and image pickers in CKEditor are extended to allow quick selection of library pages from dropdowns. In the link picker this happens in the MediaLibrary tab, where you can also see a preview of the selected image. In the image picker, simply select a library from the dropdown at the top, everything else is handled by standard functionality.
I've put the code onto github. This module is compatible with ProcessWire 3.
Steps to usage:
Download the module's zip from github (switch to the pw3 branche beforehand if you want to test on PW 3.x) and unpack it into site/modules Click "Modules" -> "Refresh" in the admin Click "Install" for MediaLibrary For testing, create a page with the MediaLibrary template under home (give it an expressive title like 'Global Media') and add some images and files Edit a differnt page with a CKEditor field and add a link and an image to see the MediaLibrary features in action (see the screencap for details) Optionally, go into the module settings for MediaLibrary Note: this module is far from being as elaborate as Kongondo's Media Manager (and doesn't plan to be). If you need a feature-rich solution for integrated media management, give it a look.
Feel free to change the settings for MediaFiles and MediaImages fields, just keep the type as multiple.
There are some not-so-pretty hacks for creating and inserting the correct markup, which could probably be changed to use standard input fields, though I'm a bit at a loss right now how to get it to work. I've also still got to take a look at error handling before I can call it fit for production. All feedback and pointers are appreciated (that's also why I post this in the development section).
Edit 09.03.2016 / version 0.0.4: there's now also a "Media" admin page with a shortcut to quickly add a new library.
Edit 01.05.2016:
Version 0.0.8:
- The module now supports nested media libraries (all descendants of eligible media libraries are also selectable in link/image picker).
- There's a MediaLibrary::getPageMediaLibraries method you can hook after to modify the array of available libraries.
- You can switch between (default) select dropdowns or radio boxes in the module configuration of MediaLIbrary to choose libraries.
Edit 10.10.2018:
Version 0.1.3:
- Dropped compatibility for ProcessWire legacy versions by adding namespaces
- Allow deletion of libraries from the Media overview admin page
- Added an option to hide media libraries from the page tree (optionally also for superusers)

This module corrects a few things that I find awkward about the "Add New Template" workflow in the PW admin. I opened a wishlist topic a while back because it would good to resolve some of these things in the core, but this module is a stopgap for now.
Originally I was going to share these as a few standalone hooks, but decided to bundle them together in a configurable module instead.
Add Template Enhancements
A module for ProcessWire CMS/CMF. Adds some efficiency enhancements when adding or cloning templates via admin.
Derive label from name when new template added: if you like to give each of your templates a label then this feature can save some time. The label can be added automatically when templates are added in admin, in admin/API, or not at all. There are options for underscore/hyphen replacement and capitalisation of the label. Edit template after add: when adding only a single template, the template is automatically opened for editing after it is added. Copy field contexts when cloning: this copies the field contexts (a.k.a. overrides such as column width, label and description) from the source template to the new template when using the "Duplicate/clone this template?" feature on the Advanced tab. Copy field contexts when duplicating fields: this copies the field contexts if you select the "Duplicate fields used by another template" option when adding a new template. Usage
Install the Add Template Enhancements module.
Configure the module settings according to what suits you.

As I mentioned in this issue, I've create a new textformatter for ParsedownExtraPlugin, which adds some oomph to your markdown.
Repo: Parsedown Extra Plugin
Unlike the built-in textformatter for Parsedown and Parsedown Extra, this should be used when you want to use Extra with additional configuration/customisation.
Some examples:
### Test {.heading} - A [external link](https://google.com/){.google} with `google` as a class that opens in a new tab if the config property is set. - [Another link](/page){target=_blank} that opens in a new tab even though it isn't external. ```html .html <p>Test</p> ``` There's some config options available to you, such as setting attributes on all/external images and links, setting table and table-cell alignment classes, adjusting footnote classes and IDs, adding <code> attributes to their parent <pre> elements, and changing the <code> class if your syntax highlighter does not use language-*.
I was thinking about adding the ability to make links open in a new tab by appending a plus to the link syntax, but only external links should be opening in a new tab anyway. Further, this would add extra, unnecessary processing time.
Please let me know if you bump into any problems. ☺

TextformatterTypographer (0.4.0 Beta)
A ProcessWire wrapper for the awesome PHP Typography class, originally authored by KINGdesk LLC and enhanced by Peter Putzer in wp-Typography. Like Smartypants, it supercharges text fields with enhanced typography and typesetting, such as smart quotations, hyphenation in 59 languages, ellipses, copyright-, trade-, and service-marks, math symbols, and more.
Learn more on my blog
It's based on the PHP-Typography library found over at wp-Typography, which is more frequently updated and feature rich that its original by KINGdesk LLC.
The module itself is fully configurable. I haven't done extensive testing, but there is nothing complex about this, and so I only envisage a typographical bug here and there, if any.
Please do test it out and let me know what you think.
Also note that I have indicated support for PW 2.8, but I haven't tested there as yet. This was built on PW 3.0.42/62.

Jumplinks for ProcessWire
Release: 1.5.50
Jumplinks is an enhanced version of the original ProcessRedirects by Antti Peisa.
The Process module manages your permanent and temporary redirects (we'll call these "jumplinks" from now on, unless in reference to redirects from another module), useful for when you're migrating over to ProcessWire from another system/platform. Each jumplink supports wildcards, shortening the time needed to create them.
Unlike similar modules for other platforms, wildcards in Jumplinks are much easier to work with, as Regular Expressions are not fully exposed. Instead, parameters wrapped in curly braces are used - these are described in the documentation.
Under Development: 2.0, to be powered by FastRoute
As of version 1.5.0, Jumplinks requires at least ProcessWire 2.6.1 to run.
View on GitLab
Download via the Modules Directory
Read the docs
The most prominent features include:
Basic jumplinks (from one fixed route to another) Parameter-based wildcards with "Smart" equivalents Mapping Collections (for converting ID-based routes to their named-equivalents without the need to create multiple jumplinks) Destination Selectors (for finding and redirecting to pages containing legacy location information) Timed Activation (activate and/or deactivate jumplinks at specific times) 404-Monitor (for creating jumplinks based on 404 hits) Additionally, the following features may come in handy:
Stale jumplink management Legacy domain support for slow migrations An importer (from CSV or ProcessRedirects) Feedback & Feature Requests
I'd love to know what you think of this module. Please provide some feedback on the module as a whole, or even regarding smaller things that make it whole. Also, please feel free to submit feature requests and their use-cases.
Note: Features requested so far have been added to the to-do list, and will be added to 2.0, and not the current dev/master branches.
Open Source
Jumplinks is an open-source project, and is free to use. In fact, Jumplinks will always be open-source, and will always remain free to use. Forever. If you would like to support the development of Jumplinks, please consider making a small donation via PayPal.

Bill Charlap
This is the sort of album that gives the mainstream a good name. It's wonderfully recorded, especially at the low end of the spectrum: Peter Washington's bass and Kenny Washington's kick drum speak with authority yet never overwhelm Charlap's piano. The trio's approach is distinctive, marked by tight and fairly elaborate arrangements, thrilling shifts in tempo, and wholly surprising modulations and harmonic choices on Charlap's part. The overall classicism of the group's sound recalls Tommy Flanagan. Charlap is at his most animated on the opener, a brisk reading of Cole Porter's "In the Still of the Night." He's more laid-back and deliberate on midtempo tracks like Johnny Mercer's "Dream" and the Gershwins' "Lorelei," where the Washingtons' bone-deep sense of swing really comes to the fore. Another, even more contemplative side of Charlap comes out on an achingly slow "One for My Baby" and a pair of Harold Arlen tunes, "The Man That Got Away" and "It Was Written In the Stars." However, the most comprehensive and bracing showcases of Charlap's talent are Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies" and Frank Loesser's "Slow Boat to China." Setting up the Berlin tune with the seldom-played introductory verse, Charlap then crafts a contrapuntal head arrangement that recalls early McCoy Tyner. After a round of concise and inventive solos, Charlap restates the melody in the original key of F minor, but then modulates to E minor for the concluding A section. (The pop cliché is to modulate up a half-step, not down.) The trio then vamps on a bluesy G7 tonality before wrapping up with a decorative coda. Analogous surprises also crop up during "Slow Boat to China." Charlap takes the melody at a medium tempo and then moves through a series of shifting chords before launching into a faster tempo for the solos. He plays the tune in B flat, but takes the second half of his final chorus in D -- a seemingly random event. Then he returns to B flat for the first half of the out melody, halves the tempo, and modulates to A major (again, down a half-step) to finish the song. All this is to say that Charlap is an uncommonly imaginative arranger, not to mention a great player. He's also unusually resourceful in terms of repertoire. Arlen, Porter, Gershwin, Mercer, Rodgers and Hart: These are all big-name songwriters, but Charlap astutely picks some of their lesser-known songs. And speaking of lesser-known songs, Charlap also offers a moving tribute to his late father, Broadway composer Moose Charlap, with a solo piano rendition of "I'll Never Go There Anymore." This is perhaps the clearest example of how Charlap invests his material with a genuinely personal touch. ~ David R. Adler

Renovations can be a good investment, if they increase the value of your home. But sometimes, that big project may not be as financially rewarding as you hope.
I recently sat down with Jenny (not her real name), who had spent over $100,000 renovating her home. Now she's worried about how those renovations will affect her finances and her ability to retire.
In 2006, when real estate prices in Alberta were booming, Jenny decided that putting money into her house was the best investment she could make, given that her mutual funds weren't doing so well. She began with a kitchen renovation that was over budget from the start. She ended up with a beautiful kitchen, but $30,000 less in savings.
Soon enough, Jenny noticed that the living room and dining room carpet looked old next to the kitchen's new tile. She decided to put in new hardwood flooring, paint the walls, replace the old windows, change the light fixtures, redo the fireplace and add a new built-in wall unit around the fireplace for her new big screen TV. This would cost another $50,000. Instead of using the rest of her savings, she decided she would put this on her line of credit, which would cost her $208.33 per month.
If she was already paying that much per month, she figured she might as well also renovate two bathrooms, the master bedroom, and replace the rest of the windows in the house, for a total cost of $72,000 or $300 per month.
Don't forget principal and interest
Jenny's first mistake is that she focused too much on the payment, which was interest only as opposed to the actual debt or the total cost of interest. If she amortized the $72,000 debt over five years, her payments would be $1,358.73 per month instead of $300 per month. Over that five-year amortization, the loan would cost $9,523.73 in interest giving the $72,000 renovation a real price tag of $81,523.73.
The bigger problem is Jenny did not budget for $1,360 per month in payments. Instead, she thought she would just make the interest only payments and then she would tackle the principle from time to time, when she had extra money. Five years later, Jenny still had $58,000 left on the line of credit. Over the past five years, I estimated that Jenny had paid about $15,000 in interest instead of the $9,523.73 she would have had, if she had made regular payments over the five years.
This renovation proved to be very expensive once we factored all the interest she has paid and is going to pay.
Debt affects retirement
To make matters worse, Jenny wants to retire in three years, but the line of credit probably won't be paid off by then. To pay it off in time, Jenny would need to make payments of $1,738.31 per month, which is just not realistic for her income. At payments of $1000 per month, she will have the debt paid off in five and a half years. Given her income will drop in retirement, she is not sure if she should work longer, get a part-time job in retirement or sell the house and buy something less expensive.
Renovations are a significant reason why many people have balances on their lines of credit. No one saves before they renovate anymore. They renovate and then pay it off.
Beware the Diderot Effect
In an essay written by French philosopher Denis Diderot, he described receiving a beautiful velvet robe as a gift. He loved it, but noticed that it made his other furniture look old and shabby. So, piece by piece, he replaced his furnishings with new ones that matched the robe's richness.
Because one renovation can often lead to another, renovations have become big business. In Jenny's case, replacing the kitchen counters led to a complete kitchen renovation, which eventually led to a transformation of the living room, dining room, bathrooms and bedrooms, not to mention the new couch and dining table she bought to match the new decor.
Renovate wisely
Renovations can be very rewarding — even financially so — but before you renovate, make sure you have a budget. And, if you are going to go into debt to finance the renovations, make sure you have a plan for paying off the debts.
If you are nearing retirement, make sure you understand the impact of debt on your ability to retire and how it might affect retirement cash flow.
Remember too that not all renovations will increase the value of your home. I see too many people justifying renovations based on how much they will increase the value of their home, only to discovert their assumptions were incorrect.

I offer my tip of the hat to presidential candidates Bill Richardson and Mike Huckabee in light of their mentions in this Wall Street Journal article on the candidates' wardrobes:
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson faces a sartorial problem partly due to his ever-fluctuating weight. He insists on buttoning his suit jacket, which often looks like it's about to burst open. "It's pretty obvious we don't have an image consultant," says spokesman Guillermo Meneses.
Republican hopeful Mike Huckabee had to replace his entire wardrobe after being diagnosed with diabetes in 2003 and shedding more than 100 pounds.
He now favors two handmade suits he purchased on a recent trip to the Far East. "Oh, maybe I wasn't supposed to say that," says spokeswoman Alice Stewart. "Buy American, you know."

Yamaha Grand Clavinova on the Move!
Yamaha's digital piano range includes many different cabinet styles, from small and portable to elegant and impressive grand piano designs.
CGP1000 with its custom made flight case
At the top of the Clavinova range is the CGP1000, which is housed in a real grand piano cabinet – a truly substantial instrument. However, the CGP1000 is the instrument of choice for John Henry's, one of the largest musical equipment hire companies in the UK.
Established for over 30 years, John Henry's supply a vast selection of instruments and equipment to concert venues, theatres, TV and film studios and tours covering all musical genres. The company has worked with some of the biggest names from the world of music and entertainment, from Tom Jones to Strictly Come Dancing.
John Henry (far left) with some of the installation team
So why is the CGP1000 proving such a worthy addition to their fleet of pianos? As John Henry, founder of the company explained 'The CGP1000 fits the bill from everyone's perspective. It looks great on stage, sounds fantastic, never needs tuning and has a good MIDI specification. Add to this, although it is a full size grand piano, it is comparatively easy to move and the CGP is the ideal rental instrument.' So where has the CGP been used? As John explained 'The CGP was used every week on the Jonathan Ross show and stayed at the BBC for the Saturday evening live show of Strictly Come Dancing. A recent tour with The Osmond's and the Variety Club Awards used the instrument. This is only scratching the surface, the CGP really has been on the move over the past few months, and Yamaha legendary reliability has proved its worth, with no problems to report.'
In fact the CGP1000 is proving so popular that John Henry's have just placed another on order to add to the fleet.

Hummmm. I've been to the CBS complex in the Fairfax district where the show is filmed ... I didn't see a big lot there teaming with actors and others. Perhaps you are thinking of the movie studios.Quote emmyg1975: no different then certain posters posting about being teachers or any other profession, mine just happens to be in the the "business"...I don't profess to be BFF with any of the actors, I see them on sets, I see them @ CBS Television City, it is a big lot with lots of stars, being as I am a Soap watcher from Dark Shadows, Edge or Night, Another World all the way to the current crop...I find soaps to be more enjoyable then night time TV or reality TV shows...plus your 5 new shows a week 52 weeks a years, not 13 or 15 shows a year...
One thing I do not do is tell anyone on here what is going to happen, I am here to post about my favs and the show that I have watched since day one..with adultery, rape, drunks, cheaters and family rivilarys...nothing has changed except the only two characters left on the show are Jill and Katherine and Jeanne is the only original actor. I am definately not obsessed or delusional, I do however know my history and have access to abundant information. The other thing I do not do is bash a poster by calling them names, or someone elses name, that is grade school mentality and explains alot. It amazes me the number of posters that just bash other posters, it seems to be the only thing they do, they bash the poster for being a fan of "certain" characters or they just bash the posters because they have nothing better to say..they can't even discuss the show without getting nasty.
Back on topic...PHICK was once again showing why they are the number one couple of Y & R !!! Thanks the AMB and JG for giving PHICK fans a great first anniversary celebration and for giving Nick the words proving who the love of his life is....PHYLLIS.

The Stamp of Fantasy takes a look at the postcards that brought photography to the masses, as the precursors of the illustrated press and the illustrated book. The exhibition examines the remarkably playful visual approach taken by the postcard industry in the early decades of the twentieth century, and discusses it in the context of the avantgarde photography at that time.
The exhibition presents more than 500 postcards in large-scale projections, in showcases and in frames, mostly from the collections of Gérard Lévy and Peter Weiss, as well as selected works by Jean Arp, Johannes Theodor Baargeld, Giacomo Balla, Herbert Bayer, Hans Bellmer, Erwin Blumenfeld, André Breton, Paul Citroën, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Paul Éluard, Max Ernst, Hannah Höch, André Kertész, Gustav Klutsis, El Lissitzky, Dora Maar and many others. Curator of the exhibition is Clément Chéroux (photographic historian amd curator of the photographic collection at the Centre Pompidou, Paris).
Publication: The Stamp of Fantasy - The Visual Inventiveness of Photographic Postcards. Ed. Clément Chéroux and Ute Eskildsen, published by Steidl Verlag. With texts by Clément Chéroux, 216 pages, 350 colour reproductions, format 29,7 x 29,7 cm. Price CHF 59

Yep. The last part was my favorite, too! I figure Domward wanted the time to be "normal", too...he has to decompress somehow. It must take a lot out of him to have to be in such major control. I have a feeling, though, that he will end up learning a few of his own lessons before this ride is done.Jazz Girl wrote:~~The Training Discussion~~
I have to say, I think my favorite part about the whole chapter was the ending, when he immediately told her he'd meet her in the library. He is so amazingly caring and conscious of everything, even knowing that she would need to get back to a place where she had some equal footing. I imagine they will discuss the scene, what it was like to be back in those roles again. I cannot wait to see how that conversation goes.
As always, DomWard's is my favorite PoV. I love reading his all-consuming love for her. I mean, honestly, how many of his other subs do we think he gave the "How are you?" question too. Yes, he was a caring Dom, but not to that extent I think.
And, am I the only one already dreading how James is figuring into this picture??
And I also love his POV. It is so sexy that he loves her so completely!
YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT THE ONLY ONE DREADING JAMES! I see him as an antogonist in the story...someone who threatens their "perfect paradise".
Either way, TSM is a genious! Can't wait until next week!

The Issue: Impact of Food Insecurity in the United States
More than 50 million Americans, including 16.7 million children, are food-insecure, meaning they live at risk of hunger, according to a report from the US Department of Agriculture. One in six Americans does not know where their next meal is coming from because of lack of resources.

The Campaign: Funding Nutritious Meals for Families
For every $11 raised by this Grassroots campaign, Feeding America can provide food for a family of four for one week. Every $21 raised can feed a family of four for two weeks. Feeding America can create and distribute eight meals for every $1 raised, due to its extensive network and efficient process. The meals will nourish families in communities across America that have been affected by food insecurity.

The Fine Print
100% of donations go directly to Feeding America. Donations are automatically applied. Must provide full name at checkout. See Grassroots FAQs that apply to this campaign. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
About Feeding America

The organization distributes the 3 billion pounds of food through an expansive network of more than 200 food banks and 61,000 agencies across the country. Grocery stores, government agencies, and individuals contribute funds and food, which Feeding America then transports to communities in need through member food banks, ensuring everyone in the area has access to meals. Feeding America also takes a leadership role on the local and national stage, advocating for efficient government programs that address the issue of food insecurity in communities nationwide.

Jeter to have ankle examined next week
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Injured Yankees captain Derek Jeter remains hopeful of getting cleared to increase his baseball activities next week.
Still recovering from offseason left ankle surgery, the shortstop has moved his rehab program from New York to the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa, Fla.
Jeter resumed playing catch last week in addition to indoor cardio work and physical therapy.
Jeter, who turns 39 later this month, will have a CT scan and be examined the middle of next week by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte N.C. The Yankees have said Jeter will be sidelined until after the All-Star break in mid-July.
The 13-time All-Star broke his ankle during the AL championship series and insisted he would be back by opening day. But he fractured his ankle again while rehabbing.

EDT:How to commit code to EDT
All committers must read and understand this page.
Bugzilla bugs are mandatory
Every change we commit MUST have a corresponding bug or enhancement in Bugzilla. Be sure the Target Milestone is set correctly.
CVS change comments are mandatory
You MUST enter a comment when you commit a change to CVS. The comment MUST include number of the Bugzilla bug or enhancement.
Change comments should be concise. It's best to say why you made the change, as opposed to saying what you changed.
- Bad: "Bug 12345: Fixed."
- Better: "Bug 12345: Added quartsToGallons() on calls to pumpGas()."
- Best: "Bug 12345: The input to the gas pump must be in gallons, not quarts."
File encoding
Use the UTF-8 encoding for your .java files. You can set UTF-8 as the default for your workspace.
Our Nightly builds run twice a day: at 9 AM and 9 PM Eastern U.S. time.
Which files are included in the build
Builds don't simply compile the latest code from CVS. A special file called a map file identifies the plugins to be built. There's an entry for each plugin naming the CVS tag for that plugin's code. (A CVS tag is simply a label on a particular version of a file.) The build will include the tagged files from each plugin in the map file. This means that to get a change into the build, you must commit your file to CVS, put a new tag on it AND all of the other files in the plugin, and update the map file with the new tag. That's a lot of work, which is why people have written a tool to automate most of the process.
The tool is in the org.eclipse.releng.tools plugin. You can find it by going to http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads if you use Eclipse 3.6, or http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.php if you use an older version of Eclipse. Click on the link for the release you're using and you'll find org.eclipse.releng.tools at the bottom of the page. To install it, unzip it into your dropins folder and restart Eclipse.
You need to check out the org.eclipse.edt.releng plugin from CVS, because it contains our map file. (Releng is short for "release engineering". Most of the files that control EDT builds are in org.eclipse.edt.releng.)
To release a change into the build follow these steps:
- Select all plugins that have uncommitted changes, and org.eclipse.edt.releng.
- Right click (while on any selected plugin) and chose Team->Synchronize with Repository. This step makes sure you are getting the latest map file and checks for any conflicts before you commit.
- In the Team Synchronizing perspective, commit your changes and at the same time update changes from other developers into your workspace. Perform merges if needed.
- Go back to the Java Perspective. If there are any errors, correct them and go back to step 1.
- With the same set of plugins from step 1 still selected, you are now ready to Team-Release them. Right click (while on any selected plugin) and select Team->Release....
- The Release wizard is displayed. Select "Specify the map project you want to use" and select org.eclipse.edt.releng. Click Next.
- The wizard displays the list of projects in your workspace that have entries in the map file. In the Project Selection Dialog, verify that the plugins with your changes are checked in the Project Selection dialog. Click Next.
- Specify a release tag for your changes. Your project(s) will be tagged with this tag and the map file will be updated with it as well. The format of a tag should be 'v' followed by a timestamp in YYYYMMDDHHMM format, using 00 to 23 for the hour. For example, the tag for changes made on December 21st 2012, at 11:59pm is v201212212359. The timestamp must be in the Eastern U.S. timezone. If you're located elsewhere, go to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179 for the current time in New York.
- The next page allows you to view the changes to the map file. Click Next.
- Enter a commit comment on the last page of the wizard. Click Finish.
Note: do not use Team->Release if you're making changes to org.eclipse.edt.releng or the widget projects
The widget projects are used to create the RUI widget libraries during the build, but they're not shipped as plugins. They're not listed in the map file. The build includes their latest code from HEAD.

Passing the torch
As high schools all over Southeast Texas celebrated the accomplishments of graduating seniors this past week, a new generation of young adults was unleashed into communities both near and far. The Class of 2013 is heralded as the leaders of tomorrow, but preparation for their future success begins today. That's why the board overseeing the Cleveland Nisby Memorial Scholarship Fund is investing in the continuing education of Beaumont's brightest stars. This year marks the first Cleveland Nisby Memorial Scholarship presentation, a progressive $2,000 annual stipend awarded this year to Ozen High School grad Lauren Hargraves.
"We wanted to award the scholarship to someone we felt would continue (Cleveland Nisby's) legacy," Nisby's son, Apostle Claver Kamau-Imani, said. "A lot of young people may not know who he was, but they benefit from his work every day."
The man, the legacy
Most Beaumonters know the name Cleveland Nisby. A civil rights pioneer and life-long philanthropist, Nisby touched and improved the lives of thousands of Southeast Texans.
Born July 24, 1919, in Opelousas, La., Nisby moved to Beaumont at the age of 1. After a brief sojourn in the North following service in World War II with the Merchant Marine, Nisby returned to Beaumont and took a job at the refinery where he would labor for the next 42 years. In a 2008 interview with The Examiner, Nisby reflected on those days.
"I went to work for Mobil Oil — it was called Magnolia Refinery in those days — for 45 cents an hour. By the time I left there, I was making $19 an hour," he said.
One significant development during the early years of his tenure was the unionization of the refinery work force, something that was not accomplished without great sacrifice. Nisby worked tirelessly to help organize the union, a dangerous task for those willing to go up against the company. The danger was only compounded for him because of the color of his skin.
"It was quietly, very quietly done, and no public statements or public approach to anybody," he recalled. "You would lose your job talking about a union, and there were many who lost their jobs."
Company resistance to union organizing was firm until President Franklin D. Roosevelt insisted that corporations obey laws protecting labor unions if they wanted to continue to participate in lucrative government contracts. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower continued that policy, and unions finally came to Texas refineries.
For Nisby, the fight was not over — not by a long shot. The quest for social justice was a cause Nisby embraced in the community, as well, working for equality in education as well as the workplace. He became president of the Beaumont chapter of the NAACP in 1960 and pressed Jefferson County to employ blacks at the courthouse. He also pushed for a housing code that would prevent slumlords from collecting extravagant rent from substandard housing.
Nisby knew the key to building on these hard-fought gains would be to have more blacks in positions of power. He ran for a seat on the Jefferson County Commissioners Court in 1974 and again in 1982 – losing both bids under a system that required candidates to run countywide for district positions. Nisby challenged that at-large scheme in federal court as the plaintiff in a 1985 lawsuit, which ended with a judge ordering the county to redraw its voting boundaries to comply with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Nisby abandoned his plans to run for office a third time and tossed his support behind Ed Moore as a black unity candidate. In the 1986 election, Moore unseated a white incumbent, County Commissioner Rolfe Christopher.
"Anyone of color who has, or has had, the honor of being in (an elected) office – they have Cleveland Nisby to thank," Nisby's son Kamau-Imani said. "He used his own money to advance a lawsuit to allow people of color to hold office. It was virtually impossible for candidates of color to obtain office before then."
Nisby passed away at the end of 2011, but his legacy lives on.
The Next Generation
"The things Cleveland Nisby fought for still needs to be fought for today," Kamau-Imani said. To ensure the fight for justice and equality for all people is not dropped, the Cleveland Nisby Memorial Scholarship will assist recipients through their pursuit of higher learning – the inaugural awardee found in future University of North Texas coed Lauren Hargraves.
Cleveland Nisby's wife, Dora, said Hargraves' life goals exemplify the dedication to civil and social justice hard fought for by her late husband. "She wants to do great things, and we want her to do those things," she said.
According to Hargraves' scholarship application, the teen said, "Helping people is not only my passion, but also the driving inspiration for furthering my education." She said she hopes to carve a career in the field of international business, ultimately earning enough money to start a nonprofit organization centered on enhancing the lives of underprivileged neighborhoods in the local community. With the support of community activists, Hargraves is confident her future plans are more of a coming reality than a dream.
"A reality not only for me," she said, "but a reality for the countless lives that are waiting for someone to take a stand and make a change."
"We believe (Hargraves) will promote the legacy of fighting for justice and equality, and for individual liberty," Kamau-Imani said. "She will, without a doubt, improve whatever community the Lord has her set up root."
Ozen High School Senior Coordinator Kim Dixon said Hargraves is leaving the campus amid great success as a member of the Student Body Parliamentarian, Student Council, National Honor Society, and the Executive Board. Hargraves graduated with a 3.7 grade-point-average in the top 10 percent of her class.

Guide to Project Management Software
Updated: September 5, 2018
What is Project Management Software?
Project management software is a software that helps project managers (PMs) and teams collaborate and meet goals on time while managing resources and cost. Functions may include task distribution, time tracking, budgeting, resource planning, team collaboration, and many more. Project management software is also referred to as Task Management Software or Project Portfolio Management (PPM).
Managing projects has grown increasingly complex over the past decade. Because of this complexity, large projects – particularly information technology undertakings — often finish past their due dates, over-budget, and with a lower than predicted return on investment.
Business professionals often rely on project management systems to help them oversee multiple endeavors. Similarly, companies today can more easily mitigate risk by identifying failing aspects of a project using time tracking software that forecasts completion dates for each phase of the project.

Common Tools and Features
The term 'project management software' applies to a range of platforms, each with a slightly different mix of functionality. It's crucial that the software you select makes your projects easier to manage, and doesn't add unneeded complexity. The transition should be as smooth as possible. Let's examine the four major pillars of project management, and the commonly available tools on the market.
1. Planning
Planning a project first involves finding the team members with the necessary skills, and estimating how much resources a project will need. Additionally, it's of great benefit to both managers and their businesses if they can use historical data from past projects to forecast a completion date, estimate return on investment, and calculate the necessary resources.
Scheduling completion dates for all of the moving parts in a major project helps managers construct a more accurate timeline. Most of this software includes automatic alerts when due dates are approaching, or when a task is not completed on schedule. More robust interfaces include automatic reports that detail how close a project is to completion, based on the number of sub-tasks and goals that have been accomplished.
Timeline visualization is becoming an increasingly popular feature in less technical industries, with the Kanban approach being a prominent example. Kanban project tracking software is derived from a Japanese supply chain methodology called 'lean production.' Kanban lets you visualize tasks or projects via cards on a straight line or vertical funnel, which represents the production line. This lets users see their work, and move their tasks around, as if they were on a bulletin board or whiteboard. The screenshot below is an example of a Kanban interface, from PM software Kanbanize.
Forecasting usually involves extrapolating based off data from previous projects, and can be essential in calculating the ROI of a project before it major resources have been invested. Forecasting takes into account the time spent on each task as well as the resources required to complete each task relative to the organization's budget constraints and revenue goals. These types of tools can also help you predict potential risks and limitations.
Resource Allocation
Similar to forecasting, resource allocation tools help project managers visualize where their business is investing time, energy, and materials. Being able to quickly view the resources dedicated to a project and change them on the fly is an invaluable tool for both planning projects and pivoting during the lifetime of the project. Although it can be time-consuming to enter and set-up a detailed inventory of company (and human) resources, it allows for project managers to anticipate bottlenecks and proactively allocate resources.
2. Tracking and Management
Even the best laid plans will be disrupted over the lifecycle of the project. The bestproject management software provides the proper amount of granularity and monitoring to keep projects efficient and on track.
Time Tracking
As the name implies, time tracking software tracks the amount of time each project contributor spends on their assigned tasks. Besides simply measuring productivity, time tracking software also builds an archive of valuable data that can help businesses forecast completion dates for similar tasks or projects in the future. Time tracking is especially helpful when managing a team of remote or part-time employees. The image below shows the time tracking interface of Wrike.
Task Management
Task management refers to the assignment of different responsibilities to various members of the project team. Being able to quickly determine who's contributed to what part of the project lets managers better identify bottlenecks and stay on top of the project's progress.
While the concept of task management is simple, the software can actually be fairly robust. In the case of large, complex projects that span different departments, tasks are very often interconnected or dependent. Certain software platforms geared towards these types of undertakings will feature the ability to assign dependencies to tasks, which helps managers determine where a breakdown in productivity is occurring and assign the necessary resources to fix the problem. Task dependencies are often represented through Gantt charts, such as the one below:
Other common features of task management include notes and tags. Adding notes to a task helps keep track of specific changes to the project or provide references for the strategy associated with each task. Adding tags to tasks makes them easier to filter and find through the PM software's native search functionality.
Permission Settings
Permission settings allow a PM to decide who can view, edit, or change tasks or sections of the software. A key part of managing a project effectively lies in vetting the access of each user on the platform. Judiciously metering out permissions also helps project managers avoid having to track down the sources of unauthorized changes to tasks or entire phases of the project.
Budgeting and Expense Tracking
Although software that budgets for projects, and businesses in general, comes in standalone versions, certain project management platforms include budgeting functions as well as expense tracking. While budgeting software is somewhat self-explanatory, expense and project tracking software can provide PMs with the added benefit of knowing how team members accrue expenses throughout the lifespan of the project. Similar to time tracking, expense tracking provides valuable data that can be used to forecast future project costs.
Analysis and Reports
Analysis and reporting functions let project managers view data in a form other than gantt charts. A robust analysis tool can present metrics around productivity in a visual fashion that makes the information easier to digest. This type of data can be critical to making mid-project pivots. If a particular task needs additional resources or a specific department is moving slower than others, in-depth analysis features will help PMs rectify or leverage the situation.
3. Collaboration
Once projects are underway, keeping the moving parts connected can be the biggest challenge. Collaboration tools help connect different departments, and make it easier to include distributed teams. Extensive collaboration features are more common among cloud-based software than on-premise solutions.
Document sharing
Typically, email is the most popular way to share documents between teams. Unfortunately, this often results in redundant communication as multiple messages are sent about the same issue. The basic structure of email also makes it difficult to find documents.
Software that lets team members share documents can improve productivity and increase efficiency. Many software platforms allow users to upload documents to specific projects or tasks, making it easy to locate resources.
The depth of such functionality varies from the simplicity of a system such as Google Drive, to full-fledged wikis that house all of a project's relevant materials. Some systems rely on message boards that team members can use to discuss ongoing issues or communicate updates.
Comprehensive sharing solutions often feature audit trails that record the history of each task and project. Audit trails let project managers view task progress and investigate challenges that team members may be experiencing.
Internal Messaging
Native messaging and meeting functions strengthen communications between team members. These features come in stand-alone versions, but can also be found in comprehensive or all-in-one project management platforms.
4. IT Project Management
IT projects often require a unique set of best practices and tools to move between stages of completion and offer the right amount of visibility to those involved. To that end, many development, help desk, and QA teams use dedicated IT project management software. Compared to traditional PM tools, IT project management software usually brings a heavier focus on Agile methodologies and a set of features that cater more specifically to developers and product managers:
- Bug Tracking: Capture, log, and monitor the status of bugs in a software development project, whether that be an piece of of software for internal use, a customer-facing system, or software sold as a product.
- Product Roadmaps: Agile project managers can create roadmaps that help their team see the bigger picture and work toward a common set of goals.
- Backlogs/Stories: Create tasks as "user stories" related to a specific feature or issue; team members pull stories from the backlog one at a time to optimize work-in-progress and improve quality.
- Subversion/Git hosting: Manage code directly inside the platform, instead of using an external repository.

Talking Squawk: Blogging tidbits, insight and some sarcasm on the WEEK THAT WAS and the WEEK TO COME from the notepad of the senior executive producer of "Squawk Box."
Remember back on Monday? Buzz words in the newsroom included: "Mad Men" ... Louisville vs. Michigan ... North Korea ... Alcoa ... GE ... Portugal ... and The Iron Lady (R.I.P.)
OK, now let's fast forward. The weekend is almost here!
"Louisville" is now The Masters. "Portugal" is now Dow 15K or Market Melt-up; plus a whole bunch of new curve-ball buzz topics including Fed Flub ... for the way it botched the release of its own minutes. Obama also sent us a late, Un-passable Budget ... while the Nuclear Nut-job in North Korea just won't go away.
Career Guidance
Um, just because you can sell iPads and iPhones for Apple doesn't mean you understand back- to-school shopping, white linen sales, teen fashion, and Black Friday.
My career suggestions to now former JC Penney CEO Ron Johnson: Dude, it didn't work out, but you still have a ton of money, go lay on a beach for a while.
To hedge fund manager and Penney board member Bill Ackman who handpicked Johnson to turnaround the retailer: Bill, try the Peter Lynch strategy until things calm down a bit. Invest in what you know. When was the last time you bought a suit at the JC Penney's men's department? (er, Herbalife?)
State of the Art Investment?
I'm not suggesting he did it for tax reasons, however, just so I understand: Leonard Lauder gave away 33 of his Picassos, 17 Braques, 14 Légers and 14 works by Gris that are now valued around a billion dollars.
But as Joe Kernen pointed out, how much did he pay for works originally? And how much will he be able to write off now compared to if he waited for Obama's plan for a 28 percent limit on deductibility could kick-in?
In today's world, how is it possible to give away a billion dollars and still walk away with a profit on your investment? And get your name on an entire wing at the Met?

'Squawkward Moment'
Joe: (To the CEO of athenahealth) "The Doctor told me that I have the best looking colon he has ever seen."
Becky: "I bet he says that to all the guys."
The Disruptors
These are the men and women out there changing the world by "disrupting" the way we live, work, and play. Most are young, smart, and geeky. But some of them have ideas that are going to make them very, very rich (and then they won't care how geeky they are because they'll have supermodels on each arm).
Next week, you'll meet a whole bunch of them on "Squawk" including the heads of Poshmark, Tapad, Menlo Ventures, Sherpa, Github, Stripe, Nest Labs, App Annie, Google Ventures and Rockmelt.
What a Weiner
Joe proves his manhood by proving he can say Weiner on national TV (and even make Becky say it) and no one can stop him. "Weiner" Weiner" "Weiner" (video)
Word Jumble
In case you are new, it's one of "Squawk Box's" oldest traditions. After the show, Joe and Becky compete every day to see who can be the first to solve the "Word Jumble" puzzle in the newspaper.
After being on a roll a few weeks ago, last week was a disaster for Becky. This week wasn't much better on the scoreboard; however I should note both contestants unscrambled almost all the words in each puzzle. Joe just beat Becky to more of the "answer riddles" you have to solve with letters from all the unscrambled words (yes, geeks!)
This week's score: Joe three, Becky one.
Words we stumbled on when jumbled, Becky: skycit (sticky) upalrl (plural); Joe didn't have any stumbles.
Because Joe won the week: He gets another bonus jumbled word: ypgmur
*Answer at the end
Worth Another Look
It was "Squawk Masters Week" (we even made Joe wear a green jacket; maybe we should have spent more for a better fake-version of a real Masters green jacket)!
Marc Faber: Spread his gloom and doom on the nation saying a stock market crash is likely if this rally continues (Great! Thanks Marc) (story).
Bill Gross: On why he doesn't watch "The Walking Dead" and says beware of "Monetary Red Bull" (story).
Sir Richard Branson: On Air, Space-Walks, and Submarines (story).
The Squawk Reserve
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard says he'd be willing to start scaling back QE (story).
Because You Voted…
Think you are smarter than a Wall Street analyst? Now you can prove it in our new "Armchair Analysts" poll.
On Friday, 64 percent of our armchair analysts predicted JPMorgan would beat estimates and they were right.
Next call?
Citigroup is reporting earnings Monday morning. The estimate is $1.17 a share. Will the company meat, beat, or miss? Vote now on our Facebook page, and we'll see what happens on Monday Morning.
(Also, Blackberry beat Apple in a landslide to win our Squawk Money Madness Tournament, Go figure?!)
Larry Ellison made $96 million in salary last year. Wow, that's a lot. But when you're worth over $40 billion do you really still keep count? (Actually I bet he knows where every penny is!)

STOCKTON - City officials in the throes of its bankruptcy fight and a spike in violent crime late last year conducted a poll, gauging residents' willingness to vote for higher taxes.
STOCKTON - City officials in the throes of its bankruptcy fight and a spike in violent crime late last year conducted a poll, gauging residents' willingness to vote for higher taxes.
The mid-September poll of 400 voters in Stockton found support for a tax hike on the ballot in 2013 or later. Support declined when pollsters painted the city's financial outlook in a grim light in anticipation of an anti-tax campaign.
Even fewer asked in the phone poll said they would back a tax measure if the city's new revenue was likely to wind up being paid to the city's creditors and not be used to improve police services, street repair, libraries and parks.
An initial question gained 71 percent of those polled when asked if they would back a three-quarter cent sales tax hike for improved police and other services. The question didn't introduce an anti-tax backdrop.
Approval rose to 78 percent if the higher sales tax was designated to boost only police patrols, anti-gang programs, and improve call response times. Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates conducted the poll.
Support dropped to 46 percent once the poll asked if the voter would support a tax measure while the city is in bankruptcy.
The question was preceded with the background of Stockton already having made $90 million in cuts over past years and expecting annual shortfalls by the millions for another decade.
Just 21 percent of those asked said they would support a tax hike if the new revenue went to paying down the city's debt, current city employees and the health coverage of retired city employees, with no city services restored for residents.

Why Madison Presidential Listening Tour: Harrisonburg
Thoughts, hopes and aspirations were a privilege to hear
Tonight's gathering at the Forbes Center for the Performing Arts has been a great kick off to our "Why Madison?" Presidential Listening Tour. It was a real privilege to hear so much input about why Madison matters. We had the faculty, we had the staff, we had alumni and community members—people who really care about this university and about this community—share their thoughts, their hopes and their aspirations.
We're strong, and we can improve
We talked about the great strengths of James Madison University and the difference it makes in people's lives. We also heard feedback about what we can do to improve—areas that we should think about for the future. And that was exactly the point of having an event like this. We plan to have a whole series of these events over the upcoming year, but what a great way to start— to be here in Harrisonburg, to feel the energy, the enthusiasm, the passion for the university. I couldn't be more pleased with the start of this process. I've learned a lot and I hope other people did, too.
There were a number of things that stood out to me. One thing we talked about was that, through the educational process at JMU, people are prepared for lifelong learning.
People at JMU don't say 'no'
I also heard that people at JMU don't say "no;" instead they try to help people get to "yes." They try to help students and colleagues who have ideas they want to explore. If they want to start projects or explore new areas, they are told, "Yes, we can find a way to do that and we can help you." It was exciting to hear that kind of energy, that kind of support from the university community. Instead of saying, "That's not the way we do things here" or "We've always done it this way," the attitude of the university is that "this is an educational institution and that's a great idea, let's see what we can do to bring it to fruition." We heard specific examples from people in several programs and departments. That was really exciting and interesting to hear.
Increasing JMU-community interaction
I also appreciated the comments from the community about how we can bring the university into the community—through our faculty and staff and our students—and how we can get the community onto our campus. That's a conversation we need to continue to have and to be very intentional about. We are doing a lot already, but there is much more that we can do.
People really matter
Another thing that came through loud and clear—even as higher education is evolving, as technology has affected how we do our work—is that people really matter. How many examples did we hear tonight where someone mentioned an individual who had made a difference to them or how individual interactions and relationships had made a huge difference to them and how it affected their lives? That is something we don't want to forget about at this university: that even as we think about how we can be more efficient and effective and use technology, we can't forget those human relationships and that the human touch is central to what we do. It is something that JMU has done really well and I think it has made JMU a very distinctive institution.
Informing our strategic planning
What's exciting to me is that this listening tour is a learning process for all of us—certainly for me and the administration of this university. The idea here is to get people talking—about where we have been and where we can go. These conversations will feed into our strategic planning and our visioning of the future as an institution as we set priorities, as we think about where we should put our resources and our energy. We'll get some great ideas out of this process; people will talk to each other; relationships will be formed. There are a lot of things that will be byproducts of this listening process.
Reflecting back
After we've gone through this listening process, we will want to reflect back to the community, to tell them what we've learned, what we've heard—the themes, the trends from these conversations. It's something that's just starting—and in some ways it will always continue—but this is a very intentional process at this moment in our history: to think about where we've been and where we can go together.
Thank you to those who attended tonight's reception. Your participation in this listening tour means a lot to me. Your thoughts about JMU are important. If you haven't already, please offer your input about why Madison matters through the submission form on this website.

For all your autumn celebrations, visit AIRPORT LIQUORS
Did you know that the first "Oktoberfest" was held in Munich, Germany in 1810? Did you also know in 2007, celebrants of this centuries' old tradition consumed almost seven million liters of beer over the course of 16 days? Now THAT is a lot of beer! October and beer go back a long way, and now with the reemergence of autumn's popular pumpkin beers, it seems as though this pair will continue for years to come.
Pumpkin beers were very popular in colonial New England when beer-loving colonists used pumpkin and squash as their fermenting ingredient. When malted wheat and malted barley became readily available, pumpkin ales largely disappeared from the landscape ~ that is until the 1990s when American craft brewers reintroduced pumpkin beer to delighted fans everywhere! Today, pumpkin beers, with their sweet, robust, full-bodied, and earthy (with a perfect blend of harvest spices) taste can be found right at Warwick's own Airport Liquors.
As you continue to enjoy these beautiful October days of football games, cool evenings around a crackling firepit, and reunions with friends and family, come to Airport Liquors on Airport Road and pick up some hearty pumpkin beers to add to your own celebrations.
Some of the most popular and highly-rated seasonal beers now available at Airport Liquors include:
* SARANAC – Pumpkin Ale
* LONG TRAIL BRUSH & BARREL SERIES, Imperial Pumpkin (celebrating the art of Vermont Ale)
If you are not a fan of pumpkin beers, no worries. There are plenty of other specials available at this friendly, locally owned and operated package store in the lower deck of the Airport Plaza. Check out these great wine options:
* All BAREFOOT WINES (1.5L), including Moscato, Cabernet Sauvignon, White Zinfandel & Red Moscato ~ $11.99 or 2 for $22
* ECCO DOMANI – a modern, crisp style of Italian wine ~ all types, $9.99
Airport Liquors is located on 1800 Post Road (remember to look for them on the Airport Road side, across from KFC). Open Monday through Saturday, 9 am to 10 pm, and Sunday from noon to 6 pm. You can also call ahead to 352-0055 or peruse their website at www.airport.liquors.net to see the latest deals.
As always, Airport Liquors urges you to drink responsibly.

My hope is that it will be of help to the descendants of the members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club. Several of you have related that The Club and The Flood were never mentioned in your homes as you were growing up, and that it has been through other, serendipitous ways that you first became aware of your connection to these fascinating people.
May I suggest that if you do have family information about your ancestor's membership in the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, especially if you have old photos or other artifacts, that you consider making these available to the outstanding Johnstown Flood National Memorial. It is situated at the farm of Colonel Elias Unger, near the remains of the failed dam. If you have not visited there and toured the Clubhouse which is still standing, you really should.
To see what The Club looked like before The Flood, don't miss the outstanding photos by Louis Semple Clarke:

Also, I am incorporating your newest comments as time permits.

Corn producers have an impressive array of materials for controlling weeds today, but the only way they can insure these products for future use is through careful management, says Dewey Lee, University of Georgia Extension agronomist.
"There's a way to maintain glyphosate and other effective products for years to come," says Lee. "It's important that you manage your production systems to be able to use these chemistries effectively and to continue using them."
Over the last several years, he says, there has been a rapid increase in the use of Roundup resistant commodities. According to USDA, 19 percent of the U.S. corn crop was treated with Roundup, and that's expected to increase this year.
"Sixty-nine percent of our cotton was treated in some form or fashion with glyphosate this past year, and 98 percent of our soybean crop was treated with Roundup. That is a concern," says Lee.
A few weed species throughout the world have demonstrated some resistance to glyphosate, he says. In the United States, there have been reports of resistant horseweed and common ragweed, he adds.
"It's all around us," says Lee. "We want to preserve the value of the chemistries available to us in corn. We need to look at tank-mixes. Make sure you take control of your weed spectrum and populations of some of the more difficult-to-control weeds."
In a burndown environment, growers can tank-mix 2,4-D and do a very effective job of preserving a product such as glyphosate, he says.
"Or, you can alternate glyphosate with other herbicide mode-of-actions such as Accent, Option or Prowl. Keep these materials mixed on your farm, and you'll preserve the value of some of these broad-spectrum herbicides. If you're in a conventional production system, cold steel always is good," says Lee.
