Maria's Mother
With the determination of the born multi-tasker not to let anything drop Maria declined our offer to postpone the visit. In addition to being a wife and mother and coordinator of the meditation groups she was the principal carer for her dying mother. All her children were warmly committed to the care also and willingly took on additional times to sit with their grandmother who had lain in bed at their home for several months. She was not in pain or distress but slept deeply or drifted quietly in and out of consciousness day and night. Her existence seemed already to have migrated to a different plane of consciousness without fully leaving the one we familiarly know as life, the daily life filled with activity, thought and the preoccupying sense of time, of keeping appointments, enjoying mealtimes and making plans.
Even as we followed the schedule of the visit, talks and meetings, a retreat day and sessions with schoolchildren, we received frequent reports about the dying woman. They were reports of no change, all is well, she is peaceful – reassuring to Maria especially as she placed herself more fully in the plane of daily life. Yet in reality she was evidently not separated from the presence of her mother and the peculiar peace and patient expectancy that the process of dying well can silently create.
On our last and quite full day Maria asked us to her home for dinner, at a Latin hour, with her family and some supportive clergy. We tried politely but unsuccessfully to decline. I should have remembered that the things we try to avoid frequently turn out to be the ones we never forget. So, when we were feeling ready for bed we found ourselves instead sitting with a large and very energetic and energizing group around a very well laden table.
As the end of the feast, as we were preparing to leave, Maria asked me to visit and pray with her mother. I was embarrassed to realize that I had sat through the meal quite forgetful of the dying woman in the same house and I was further moved when I discovered that her room was right next to the one where we had been dining so merrily. As we stepped into it we entered the atmosphere that universally accompanies the last phases of life, surprisingly similar to the expectancy and uncertainty of an approaching birth. It is a liminal experience, here and there at the same time, a frontier moment. Maria's mother lay in a neat, well-made bed that spoke of the loving attention that surrounded her, her head resting peacefully on a pillow, not looking at all sick or restless. She was breathing gently and calmly and her presence filled the room in an egoless way. Like the divine presence it made no demands, or a total demand, and so felt both irresistible and unthreatening.
Maria and I sat beside her and meditated silently for some time. I then prayed in words and we were silent again. She showed no sign of responding to our presence except through a deepening sense of her presence. It was communication in silence, the communication that is silence. After a while we stood up to leave. I blessed the dying woman and Maria led the way out of the room. As I moved away from the bed I looked at her mother and saw that her eyes were open looking directly at me. A full gaze of an abyss filled with light. Later one might call it a blessing. I called Maria back but her mother's eyes were closed again. Intuitively we sat down once more, not with any purpose or intention, just to be there and, in the full sense of the phrase, to see what was happening. It was a moment, rare in life, of full certainty that we were in the right place at the right time and had nothing to do except to be present. The dying woman continued to breathe gently but the sensation of an imminent change grew stronger. After a time her respiration changed, she seemed to gasp for breath one last time and then effortlessly gave up the instinct to survive and surrendered fully into another kind of life. Her last breath seemed to throw open a dimension of unrepeatable stillness, a sacred finality that at that instant consumed all sadness and loss in a total consummation.
The only moment of life that fully matches the drama of birth had come to pass. As at levels of deep prayer feeling and thought were temporarily irrelevant. Peace and joy were not identifiable experiences but simply accidental aspects of a reality that spoke for and of itself alone. Maria's mother had died. Maria had lost her mother.
With much love,

Actor Michael Rooker stood in his hotel suite's bathroom staring at a coffee cup with the concentration of a jeweler inspecting a diamond.
"You want to know how I act?" he asked in his trademark deep growl before holding the cup under a running faucet.
As he fluctuated the water's force between gushing and a spitlike drip, Rooker's facial expressions told a silent story, moving from a bright smile to a grimace to a cheeky smirk.
"There!" Rooker said, as a bit of water finally crested over the cup's lip. "That was my line."
Aquatic theatrics aside, his point was simple: His performances are spontaneous, often driven by his character's...

Zach Johnson, with a short game and a big heart, wins at Kapalua to pick up where he left off
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
KAPALUA, Hawaii – Zach Johnson still looks at himself as David, even though the results are starting to suggest Goliath.
Growing up in Iowa, his passion for sports was fueled by the player or the team that was not big enough, not strong enough, not good enough to win. He had reason to feel that way at Kapalua for the Tournament of Champions, where he started the final round two shots behind on a course that is suited for power players.
It proved to be the perfect recipe for another victory.
Johnson didn't blast his way around the Plantation Course as much as he picked it apart, mostly with his irons, especially with his putter.
He tied for the lead with an approach from 195 yards into 4 feet for birdie on No. 7. He took the outright lead with a wedge into 2 feet on No. 12. And he pulled away from Jordan Spieth, Jason Dufner, Kevin Streelman and everyone else with three straight birdies for a 7-under 66.
"Hit some quality shots that certainly helped," he said. "But I think quality putts helped even more."
Johnson started a new year the same way he ended the last one — by winning.
Unlike a month ago in California, when he holed out from the drop zone on the last hole and beat Tiger Woods in a playoff, Johnson didn't doing anything spectacular. He didn't need to. Johnson missed only one fairway. He missed only two greens. He picked his spots and played to his strengths, went bogey-free and matched the best round of the day. That kind of golf wins anywhere. And Johnson seems to be winning a lot lately.
Not only was it his 11th career win on the PGA Tour, it was his third win worldwide in his last six starts. It started with the BMW Championship outside Chicago, which made him eligible for this winners-only tournament on the west end of Maui.
Dating to his rookie season in 2004, only Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh have more PGA Tour victories.
David or Goliath?
"I still have that vision," Johnson said of the underdog role, even though the numbers don't back that up.
Johnson will say his last three wins were against small fields — 70 players in the BMW Championship, 18 players in the World Challenge, 30 players at Kapalua. He also faced strong fields at a playoff event, a holiday event with 18 of the top 30 in the world, and a winners-only gathering Hawaii.
"I've put myself in a place that is a little foreign to me," he said. "Some of the numbers, I'm not exactly comfortable with — top 10 in the world, that kind of thing. But I'm also a realist. I know this game at some point could beat me up again. So I've got to keep doing what I'm doing, try to keep things very simple."
Spieth was playing in the final group for the first time, and he held up beautifully. He made birdie on both par 5s on the front nine to take a one-shot lead, and kept his goal of making three birdies on the back nine. He just got started too late and ran out of holes.
And three pars on the three easiest holes on the back nine — 14, 15 and 16 — didn't help.
Spieth didn't trust his read on two short putts at the 14th and 16th, and he came up just short on the par-5 15th.
"Yes!" he said, when the ball took off his hybrid like a rocket, headed for the front portion of the green. "You've got to be kidding me," he said when he saw the ball retreat down a slope. He didn't connect properly on a delicate pitch, and the ball came back down the slope. Spieth had to scramble for par.
Three shots behind, he closed with two birdies for a 70 to finish one shot behind.
Streelman had a 67 and tied for third with Webb Simpson, who had a 70.
Five players had a share of the lead at one point, which included Dustin Johnson early and Jason Dufner late. Dustin Johnson, tied for the 54-hole lead with Spieth and Simpson, made three bogeys before he recorded a birdie. He chipped poorly and shot 73. Dufner's rally was undone by a three-putt par on the 15th, and then a shot in to the hazard on the 17th that ended his hopes for good.
The last man standing was Zach Johnson, a position with which he is becoming familiar.
He tried to imagine what he would have said if told that going into his 11th season on the PGA Tour, he already would have 12 victories worldwide, a top-10 ranking and golf bags from having played on six national teams.
"It would have been more than I thought," Johnson said, still seeing himself as David.

WARNING:The material included in this document is of an adult nature and should NOT be viewed by anyone under 18.
This story is a real experience which happened to me in February. Please mail me your comments or your own stories/fantasies to: firstname.lastname@example.com
By Kyle
One of my favourite winter sports is skiing and any opportunity I have I head for the hill with my friends. Usually we take the ski bus which is shared by a number of groups.
This particularly fine morning in February the bus was quite quiet and was only just over half full. So I was able to take two seats near the back, spread out and relax. My friends sat mainly in front of me though one of my friends sat in the seats opposite. I knew this guy well, Steve was the same age as me (23) but was a good 5 or 6" taller than me and more well-built. He must be 6' 6" tall and his great shape kept attracting my eyes to him.
Our eyes had met many times before and on the journey to the ski slopes our eyes met again. Each time he made a gesture like rubbing the crotch of his trousers or spreading his legs a little more. A while passed and the journey was nearly over, everyone was getting ready for a great day's skiing, putting on jackets and sallopetes but Steve removed his shirt revealing a smooth well-defined body - my eyes were transfixed (and he knew it!). Slowly he stroked his pecs with his right hand, and flexed his biceps. My dick was straining so hard inside my sallopetes - I really wanted him. As we turned into the car park he put on a different top - long sleeved and figure hugging and then got ready for the day's skiing.
As I skied that day I could think of nothing else but of having Steve. The day passed slowly as I day dreamed about the return journey.
By Kyle
I returned to the bus slightly early in the hope that I would catch Steve. I put the skis in the hold and went to board the bus. Then I saw him, my cock had a mind of its own and it decided to come to attention. My short long-johns strained as he approached the bus, we exchanged smiles. I am sure Steve noticed the reaction in my sallopetes. I put my hand in my pocket so as to disguise the bulge and boarded the bus.
As I walked up the aisle I stopped to chat with one of my best pals. Dave was sitting in the window seat next to a guy from his college course who I didn't know. As most people had now returned to the bus, the noise level increased and I couldn't hear what Dave was saying. So I leaned over the other guy who I was introduced to as Jamie. Jamie was quite a smart lad, dark wavy hair swept back, broad across the shoulders and well tanned. Oh and the cutest smile. As I leant over my bum protruded into the aisle.
We talked for a bit and then I thought I felt something touch my crotch. I ignored it and carried on talking. Then it happened again and this time there was no doubt about it, something did touch me. I looked down and saw Jamie's hand gently brushed over the crotch of my sallopetes. I looked at him, he smiled and I gave him a wink.
As we discussed one of the more challenging ski runs, I felt two large hands grab my waist and a full male torso grind against my ass. Slowly it moved sideways and I felt this guy's manhood in my crack (and it felt real good). It was Steve. I finished my conversation, gave Jamie a smile and went up to my seat.
Steve sat opposite me again as I turned into my seat I looked at him and he smiled and raised his eyebrows twice.
I sat down and took off my ski boots and socks. This released more steam to the already steamy bus and the windows were thick with conversation. As the bus moved off, I undid the buckles on my sallopetes and let the bib fall. I took of the shirt I was wearing to reveal my running vest which showed off my fairly well developed biceps and delts. I was reluctant to take of my sallopetes right nowas my cock was still in a semi hard state from Jamie and Steve's contact.
I glanced over to Steve and he was back to the tight fitting top he had put on as we arrived. He was also wearing a pair of navy blue bermuda shorts.
My cock had returned to it's more usual relaxed state so I took of the sallopetes. I was wearing a pair of beige 501 long johns which went from my waist to just above the knee. I only wore them for sporting occasions as they gave me extra protection and stopped any flapping about. I took the towel out of my bag and was drying my hair off when two additional hands were controlling the towel. Slowly the towel was brought from my head letting to see who was drying me off. It was my good neighbour, Steve. Sensually he took the towel down my cheek bone and under my jaw. Steve gave a sign, sort of raised his head. I knew what he meant so I took off the vest. He took the towel again and ran it over my pecs. Steve bent down and teased my nipples with his tongue - they sprang up to attention. His focus then moved down my body to my abs and then his thumbs rested on my waistband. I was in ecstasy and my cock responded.
Now it was my turn...

DeKalb girls soccer lost a tough match to Rockford Boylan, 2-1, at home, playing its first game in two weeks. The teams played to a scoreless tie in the first half.
Nat Vaughn-Low scored the lone goal for DeKalb (1-1), which travels Saturday to Freeport.
Indian Creek rolls: Indian Creek won its season opener with a 3-0 victory at home over Dixon.
Renee Corriveau scored two goals in the first half, both coming off rebound opportunities.
Madison Spooner scored off a pass from Madison Russell at the 75-minute mark in the second half to close the scoring for Indian Creek (1-0).

Stillman Valley went up 2-0 before Viviana Beltran's goal in the 57th minute off an assist from Abbey Rasmussen.
"I don't know if it was the cold, the wind, or something else, but we came out very sluggish today," G-K coach Randy Tate said. "We made two exactly the same mistakes that Stillman jumped on and scored.
"On the positive side, I thought we did better in the second half and didn't just give up. We had a nice set of combination plays that ended with a goal."
G-K (1-1, 0-1) plays at Rockford Lutheran today.
Royals draw: Hinckley-Big Rock battled Aurora Central Catholic to a scoreless draw. It was the Royals' second shutout of the season.
H-BR (1-1-1) will play Indian Creek on Thursday.
DeKalb falls: DeKalb lost to Hononegah, 6-5. Hononegah scored three runs in the sixth and three runs in the seventh for the win.
"We played really well for five innings, but ran out steam offensively and on the mound in the last few innings and it cost us the game," DeKalb coach Jacob Howells said.
Logan Haring was 3 for 3 at the plate while John Crosby pitched 5⅔ innings, giving up three runs and had six strikeouts.
G-K wins: Genoa-Kingston defeated Harvard, 6-1, on the road in a Big Northern Conference East matchup.
Brady Huffman pitched six innings and struck out 12 while only allowing three hits and zero earned runs.
Will Crozier and Jake Langford each went 1 for 3 with a double and a run scored while Mike Kuhn was 1 for 4 with a run.

Oswego East edges DeKalb: DeKalb fell to Oswego East, 8-7, in a dual match.
Madi Alger and Alyssa Wagner each won in two games at No. 6 and 7 singles respectively. Jennifer Martinez also got a win at No. 9 singles for the Barbs.
Clara Marchini and Cierra Grant rallied to win in three games at No. 2 doubles while Rachel Kelly and Alger teamed up to pull out a three-game win at No. 3 doubles.
"We looked flat. We did not play well," DeKalb badminton coach Duane Cowley said. "But Jennifer Martinez, first time playing varsity, she got a strong win at No. 9 singles."
Two T'wolves win events: Indian Creek junior Chantel Kyler won the high jump with a mark of 5 feet, 0 inches at Sandwich. Evan Ostrander won the 3,200-meter run with a time of 11 minutes, 34.27 seconds.

Phelps wins butterfly, loses freestyle race
Michael Phelps split two races in his final meet before the U.S.
Olympic trials.
The 14-time Olympic gold medalist finished second to Jimmy
Feigen in the 100-meter freestyle Friday night with a time of 49.05
seconds to Feigen's 48.63. Another Olympian, Garrett Weber-Gale,
who won two relay gold medals in the 2008 Beijing Games, finished
Phelps used his poor showing in that race as motivation in the
100 butterfly, roaring to an easy win in 52.02 that included a
final 50-meter split of 27.25.
"I didn't swim smart or very well in the 100, and I got beat
because of it," Phelps said. "I was angry with myself for that,
and I turned it around a little in the 100 butterfly."
The meet, conducted by the University of Texas aquatic program
as an alternative to the season's final Grand Prix event in Santa
Clara, Calif., is Phelps' last competition before the Olympic
trials in Omaha, which begin June 25.
"Without a doubt, the clock is ticking for the upcoming
Olympics, and I have to keep working hard to be where I want to be
by July 27," Phelps said.
Phelps set his first world record at the pool used for this meet
as a 15-year-old in March 2001 when he clocked 1:54.92 in the
200-meter butterfly. The mark stood just a few months before he
broke it himself, but that swim remains a pool record after more
than 11 years.
Four-time Olympic medalist Brendan Hansen won the 200-meter
breaststroke in 2:13.54, almost 3 seconds slower than his winning
time in the 2011 U.S. nationals.
Phelps, 2008 Olympic bronze medal winner Allison Schmitt, and
Missy Franklin entered this weekend's meet as the top three point
scorers in USA Swimming's Grand Prix series.
Franklin, the world record holder in the 200-meter backstroke
(on a short course) and the American record holder in the 200-meter
backstroke (long course), warmed up for her best events with a
third-place finish in the 100-meter freestyle in 54.73, behind
Schmitt's 53.94 and Megan Romano's 54.16.
Franklin failed to earn a spot in the championship heat of the
400-meter freestyle, finishing far behind winner Sarah Henry's time
of 4:09.16.
Kathleen Hersey, the eighth-place finisher in the 200-meter
butterfly at Beijing, easily won the 100-meter butterfly Friday in
58.76, more than a second and a half ahead of her nearest

Here at ARKive, we are in a truly unique position in that we get to work with the world's very best wildlife and environmental filmmakers and photographers. At this year's Wildphotos we had the chance to catch up with a few of our most famous and respected ARKive media donors to learn what inspires them to do what they do and discover the stories behind their awe-inspiring images.
Wildlife photographs can take months of planning and extraordinary amounts of patience in order to capture the perfect instant on film. Often working in hostile environments with unpredictable subjects, being a wildlife photographer is no easy life.
Discover what (or who) inspired some of the world's best wildlife photographers to pick up a camera and start taking photographs of the natural world.
Tui De Roy
"Growing up in the Galapagos Islands I was surrounded by fascinating wild animals on a daily basis, many of whom were literally my closest friends. My father was also a keen naturalist and very interested in photography, so by the time I was 12-13 I was borrowing his camera regularly to record animal behaviour that I observed. I sold cured goat skins to save up for an SLR, and when I was 18 had my first article (text and photos) published in Pacific Discovery, the magazine of the California Academy of Sciences, and a cover feature in Audubon magazine the following year. After that, there was no looking back for me. Photography became my way of seeing and my way of living, and remains every bit as gratifying today as it was when I saw my first black-and-white images emerge from the processing bath nearly half a century ago. My spiritual home will always be in the wildest of wild places, and my mission to give a voice through imagery to the plight of the world's multitude of threatened species."

Patricio Robles Gil
"I'm addicted to wild animal encounters, those precious moments are what keeps me alive in this planet. There is something deep inside that push me to share those experiences, for that purpose the camera helps a great deal.
The camera is a tool that helps me bring home glimpses of wild encounters sow I can share and touch audiences to care for those pristine worlds."

I have two sets of Warbonnet cinch buckles off my blackbirds for sale. They are the new flat triangle style. They are just not for me. I use the old school round triangle buckles that need a half hitch. I just find them much more lymphocytosis friendly, especially when its cold.
Buckles are in close to new shape and come with the 1/8 Amsteel loop from Warbonnet. These do not come with straps.
All spoken for. Thanks!

Bird '00 Helped Redefine Presidential Runsby David Myles '14, The Bachelor • October 25, 2013 Share:
DAVID MYLES '14 | CAVELIFE EDITOR • Politics is a dirty game. It can turn optimism into cynicism, and cynicism into apathy. This truth, however, does not apply to Jeremy Bird '00. With his wide smile and energetic oratory, Bird is a reassuring example of the fact that integrity is not yet dead in American politics.
Bird was the National Field Director for President Obama's re-election campaign, and is continuing his love for political organizing as a co-founder of 270 Strategies. A private company, 270 Strategies allows Bird and his colleagues to use the lessons they learned over six years as Organizing for America employees to aide political campaigns, not-for-profit advocacy groups, and multinational corporations.
Bird gave talks sponsored by the College Democrats, Wabash Callings, and the Wabash Lecture and Film committee. "There are only a few with his insights, but even fewer willing to participate in nearly two dozen meetings, class visits and talks," Wabash's Reference Librarian Jeff Beck said. "Anyone encountering Jeremy's infectious smile will find an immediate antidote to cynicism and a reminder that humility (seeing things as they really are) is an incredible source of personal strength."
Bird's resume is impressive and his demeanor is congenial and polished. Yet, this Wally's path to the upper echelon of American politics is not what most people would expect.
From Wabash to Harvard to Kerry '04
Bird was raised in a small town about forty miles outside of St. Louis. His family was not well off, but his parents
knew that education was key to their son having a better life. Recruited to run cross-country and because of his academic prowess, Bird chose to attend Wabash College. He was the sports editor for The Bachelor and started the Lacrosse team, but, believe it or not, Bird did not take a single political science course during his time at Wabash. His political apathy would dissolve, however, during his semester abroad in Israel.
As a Religion major, Israel was the no-brainer choice for Bird. He was raised Southern Baptist and obviously had an intellectual curiosity into world religions. Thus, what better place is there than Israel to immerse yourself in religious fervor?
"My time in Israel was very disruptive in a good way," Bird said. "There are those moments that really define who you are. When I came back I felt that I grew up more…I felt my mind was opened up in ways it was ready to be." Bird realized that he knew nothing about American politics. "The first political rally I went to was at the University of Haifa for Ehud Barak, who was running against Benjamin Netanyahu for Prime Minister" Bird said. "I couldn't understand what he was saying, but I noticed how many young people were there."
Seeing how involved the youth of Israel were in their political process inspired Bird, even though he may not have yet realized to what degree. Still not sure what he specifically wanted to do when "he grew up," he chose the graduate school path, applying only to Harvard Divinity School.
What sold Bird on Harvard Divinity was that he could take classes at the Kennedy School for Government. One of his first classes focused on the practice of community organizing. As a project for that class, Bird advised youth from the inner city of Boston on a successful campaign to have $13 million added into the city's budget to accommodate for new textbooks and renovated school facilities. Bird then realized what he wanted to do with his life: organize others in pursuit of a common good.
After Harvard, Bird realized that he was tired of former President George W. Bush's policies and rhetoric, and, through a divinity school professor, landed a job as the New Hampshire Deputy Field Director for Howard Dean's presidential campaign. After the yelp heard around the nation, the Dean campaign faltered. Yet, Bird had already developed a strong network of contacts.
"Your boss is your field director…and if they're good they will go run something else and want to take good people who they've met," Bird said. "The state director who I became very good friends with, she became the National Field Director for the DNC, which meant for Kerry, and she brought me with her…and I do that for people who work for me."
While John Kerry would ultimately lose to President Bush, the training Bird received would pave the way for the next chapter of his life.
Organizing for America
In the build up to the 2008 presidential election, Jeremy Bird received a lot of offers to work for Hillary Clinton's campaign. But he was more interested in a junior Senator from Illinois.
"I read his [President Obama's] autobiography, and I could tell he had sat around the kitchen tables," said Bird. "That he had done the same type of community organizing in Chicago that I did in Boston."
Bird called around D.C., looking for any and all contacts that could put him in touch with the Obama campaign. After much persistence, he was interviewed, and earned the position of Field Director for South Carolina, a pivotal primary state. It was here that Bird engineered the Barbershop and Beauty Salon strategy. "We were told that in South Carolina, you go to church for the good, prison for the bad, and the barbershops for the real," Bird said. "So that's what we did." Obama won the South Carolina Democratic Primary by almost 30 percent, and Bird's strategy was implemented across the country.
After the 2008 election, Bird played a pivotal role as Deputy Director of Organizing for America, especially in creation of the Affordable Care Act. When President Obama's re-election campaign was initiated, Bird was named the National Field Director, a position that put him in charge of grassroots efforts.
One of Bird's fondest memories of the campaign actually occurred the day after the 2012 election. "Right after 2012 he came to the office and gave a speech to the staff," Bird said. "The president is not a publicly emotional guy, and he cried. It felt like a culmination and then we went around the office, and there were 500 people, and he hugged everyone. They shared stories, they were joking. He hugged me and said I'm proud of you."
270 Strategies and A Global Movement
In the wake of the 2012 election, Jeremy Bird could have worked in the White House, a dream job for most political junkies. Bird's passions, however, were elsewhere.
"I am really drawn to the campaigning aspect and the organizing side of political work, and how you engage people in a major way. I love campaigning…there's a lot of adrenaline in it," Bird said. "You have to build a start-up and we had to build a $1 billion start up in 18-20 months. Starting the company is it's own start up…and I didn't want to move back to DC."
In January 2013, Bird, Mitch Stewart, the Battleground States Director for Obama 2012, and five other partners launched 270 Strategies, 270 being the number of electoral votes necessary to win the presidency. Bird and his colleagues are now applying their grassroots experience and knowledge of data analytics to advise corporations, not-for-profits, and political campaigns at all levels.
"The biggest piece of what we do is not-for-profit issue advocacy," Bird said. "We work with a lot of people in the education reform space, people working on how we get through the politics of education and how we provide the best educational opportunity for kids throughout the country."
With clients such as Senator-elect Corey Booker and the Chicago Cubs, 270 Strategies will be a multi-million dollar business this year, and it is only ten months old. Perhaps the most interesting and promising aspect of 270 Strategies though is their international work, where they are advising Prime Minister campaigns in several countries.
The Wabash Impact
Jeremy Bird is the quintessential Wabash man. While Harvard can be credited with directly introducing him to community organizing, Wabash College and a Liberal Arts education is responsible for his adaptability.
"I think that the College Democrats and Wabash as a whole were thoroughly impressed and inspired by the level of success a fellow Wally has achieved and especially by Jeremy's unique Wabash story," said Dylan Miller '16, the President of the Wabash College Democrats. "It just goes to show the potential a Wabash liberal arts education can have."
In his own words, Jeremy Bird acknowledges the impact of his Wabash education. "It cultivates a critical mind. And if you're able to think critically about any problem that is in front of you, and not focus on the black and white," Bird said. "You are going to be much

The annual fund is essential to the health and vitality of the University and its students. Gifts from our alumni and friends impact the College in several ways:
Affordability. Your gifts allow the College to offer one of the most affordable private college tuition rates in the Midwest. The true cost per student of attending Greenville University is much higher than what is covered by student tuition. Gifts from generous alumni and friends reduce the net cost for each student. For example, the College provides scholarships totaling an average of over $9,000 per student.
People. Greenville University's greatest asset is its faculty. These scholars teach, mentor, challenge and nurture our students as they learn to integrate their hearts and minds in service of God's world. Gifts provide the financial assistance to recruit, attract, and retain faculty and equip them to do their work. Over the last year, the college hired seven full-time faculty members. Gifts also enable students to benefit from smaller class sizes. Greenville University currently boasts a student-to-faculty ratio of 12:1.
Programs. Our students are transformed both inside and outside of the classroom. Greenville University's athletics, residence life, student organizations and spiritual formation programs work to integrate student life with learning and faith. Gifts support initiatives to create, maintain, and improve current programs and facilities. For example, donations were recently used to add two "smart" classrooms to Dietzman Center and improve the safety, space and energy-efficiency of Joy Hall through its $3 million renovation.

When my little brother found out I was going to be interviewing Tehran SoParvaz for S&F, he immediately freaked out on the phone and texted me a picture of Tehran to have him sign it (because you can autograph picture texts?). He said, "Omg Farrah, Tehran is SO COOL and his Farsi is even better than yours."
And for once, my brother was right, not only is Tehran intelligent, witty, and straight-up hilarious, he was personable. I'm pretty much jealous of his amazing Farsi skills. Talking to him felt like I was catching up with an old friend. That's just how you have to be when you're a personality like Tehran- you have to get people to like you right off the bat and I'm certain that Tehran has no problem doing that. I'll be honest, it's hard to be an Iranian these days, and Tehran's pride for his Iranian and his black heritage is so clearly evident in the way he carries himself and in what he does for a living – it's inspiring. We could all learn a thing or two — like Tehran says, we should all have pride coming out of our ass.
So a big thank you to Tehran for being a total bad-ass and for taking the time to talk to us. And because I was too shy to say anything in Farsi on the phone, "Tehran jooooon, kheyli bahali – key miay khastegari?"
– Tell me about yourself…
I was born and raised in D.C. I love D.C.- it's my home city. I went to college and graduate school in D.C. I still call D.C. my home even though I'm on the road more than I am in D.C. – but that's why you'll always catch me with a D.C. hat- D.C. REPRESENT.
My dad is Persian and my mom is black. My D.C. heritage goes all the way back – my parents are D.C. native. My mom is a lawyer over at HUD who fights against gentrification in the district. I did my undergrad and graduate school at George Mason University and I went to Georgetown Law for law school. I didn't take the BAR after law school – I have a Master's in Economics and did a double major in my undergrad in International Politics and Communications.
– What do you do? How did you get started?
I host shows – I have a show on BET, I hosted Lil Wayne's tour that finished about six months ago. I also hosted a tour for Rick Ross. I host shows, comedians and I'm just a entertainer in general – a personality – that's what I prefer.
I used to throw a lot of events- parties and concerts. It was just a natural onset of being in that environment.
– What was a pivotal moment for you when you were hosting?
My favorite moment: You know those big Persian concerts that happen in Vegas every Christmas? I hosted the Vegas concert. The first year I ever did it was four years ago – they put me on stage and I hosted the entire two days. It was a stellar job, an amazing concert – the energy, the vibe – I'd never been to the Vegas concert before and it was amazing. I don't really have a natural fear of speaking in front of people. Everyone thought I had prepared what I was going to say while I was hosting, but when I went on stage, I just spoke whatever came to my mind.

SALE Italian violin, Francesco Cossu, 1979
As a full-blooded Italian violin, made in 1979 by Francesco Cossu (b. 1933), this instrument is rich in character and has a signed label as well as several brandmarks inside and under the fingerboard. Even as a child, Francesco Cossu was interested in violin making, a craft which he has practiced for over 50 years in addition to his main profession as a successful musician. He lives in his Sardinian home and most recently taught violin at the Cagliari conservatory. As a violin maker, Francesco Cossu has followed the Stradivari model, and this instrument also reflects the influence of the great master, while its individual traits demonstrate its builder's touch. This Italian violin is full of character, it has a flat table and well-executed elegant details, such as the small scroll with blackened edges and the cleanly cut sound holes which give it an unmistakable look. The richly applied and delicate oil varnish has a beautiful orange-yellow colour to it; the many traces of use confirm the instrument's outstanding musical qualities, especially considering its younger age. This violin was worked over by our luthier who made it ready to play. This crackfree violin has a joint at the base of the neck that appears to be original and made at the time this violin was made. Its voice has a bright and open sound with a somewhat sweet aspect to the upper registers. It features the melting characteristic Italian sound for which the instruments from the cradle of violin making are known to this day.

Annual Statistical Report on UN Procurement
The UN system procured goods and services from 192 different countries in 2013, with 123 countries having an annual procurement volume of more than $10 million each in 2013. The ten major countries supplying UN organizations in 2013 included four developing countries, with the United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, India and Kenya accounting for 37.4 percent of the total procurement volume of the top ten countries of supply. This corresponds to a decrease in procurement volume from developing countries and countries with economies in transition within the ten major countries of 6.5 percentage points, down from 43.9 percent in 2012.
Selected Filters
Country of Supply
Purchase Order Segments
In 2013, procurement from developing countries and countries with economies in transition increased by $738 million over 2012. Compared to the previous year, the share of procurement from developing countries and countries with economies in transition decreased from 61.7 to 60.8 percent. The share of procurement from developed countries increased from 38.3 percent to 39.2 percent. Procurement from unspecified countries was $54.9 million in 2013.
Purchase Orders by Country (Goods)
Procurement is defined as the acquisition through purchase or lease of real property, goods or other products (including intellectual property), works or services. Goods are objects of every kind and description including raw materials, products and equipment and objects in solid, liquid or gaseous form, and electricity, as well as services incidental to the supply of the goods if the value of those incidental services does not exceed that of the goods themselves.
Data Sources
These statistics have been produced by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) on behalf of the organizations of the United Nations system. The Annual Statistics Report (ASR), from which these charts derive, is published by UNOPS and available online: the link is provided in the header.
Currencies & Conversions
All data is in US dollars. Some agencies, have their budgets and accounting in currencies other than US dollars thereby necessitating currency conversion using an average annual conversion rate.
Metrics & Values
If shown, percentage values represent the percentage of total procurement (goods + services). Regional classifications are used when country information is not available. Purchase orders of value less than USD 1000 are ommitted from this chart. For improved presentation, financial values are sometimes rounded.
Information is supplied to UNOPS by 33 UN organizations in total. UNOPS relies on the participating UN organizations in the compilation and reporting of the statistics.
The data in the category goods is based on country of supplier; the data in the category services is based on country of contractor. Developing Countries & Countries with Economies in Transition (DC/ET): countries for which the United Nations provides financial/technical assistance.

One of my clients said to me, "I don't want to feel like I'm at the doctors office when I exercise." It was her nice way of telling me to lighten up and create a positive experience for her. In my experience, thats what really gets people the best results. Its about an experience, and thats precisely what the Hudson Valley is in need of.
Health clubs have their hands full trying to delicate classes within the price of their memberships. But there is a whole community out there, trails, beaches, water fronts, local hiking and other resources that could be used by those who don't prefer to attend gyms. And what about all those empty office suites in town. The health department may have access to the funding needed to turn some of those into a branch of high quality fitness facilities.
I remember when the women's health expo took place in the offices on Enterprise drive. But now the building is almost completely vacant and needing a purpose. Why not health? Specifically health clinics, classes, literature resources, personal training internships, distance learning opportunities, fitness testing, nutrition assessments, and other forms of health therapy.
Some of my clients spend thousands of dollars to leave the Hudson Valley for programs such as Pritikin, which could cost starting at $5,300 just for one week! And to think that that money could be going into the budget of a local business, providing for a local practitioner, who will then re-invest the money in our own community.
Health clubs have done well, but the statistics tell me that we have to get more radical in the face of obesity, inactivity, diabetes, aging, and other illnesses. Its a two fold responsibility between us (practitioners) and us (the community). My specific proposal is to access grant money and put up small fitness centers throughout our townships. That includes, Woodstock, Stone Ridge, Kingston, Red Hook, Rhine beck, Saugerties, and the surrounding areas.
We've got to update our fitness facilities, get people certified, sponsor community fitness projects, and publicize our results. It works every time! So with that, I volunteer to help administrate all the above. And with a little time, support, motivation, and money, we can turn the Hudson Valley around...One step at a time.
What are your thoughts about obtaining funding for these kind of projects? Is this something you would support or participate in?
Thanks for reading my post

How Much Could HARP Save You?
Apr 22, 2013
Ruben, a now retired Air Force officer, and his wife bought a four-bedroom ranch-style home in Sacramento, California, in 2007. Two years later, he was reassigned to the East Coast. It was a sluggish time for Sacramento's housing market, and he was unable to sell the home. He eventually found a renter, but between what he owned on the mortgage and what he was able to collect for rent, he was losing about $1,000/month.
The financial drain went on for almost four years before Ruben called his mortgage company to ask about refinancing. The mortgage company said he couldn't qualify because he was underwater on the loan, meaning he owned more than the rental home was worth.
Fortunately, he called a lender offering the federal government's Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), designed to help underwater borrowers. In about three weeks, his loan was refinanced, dropping his interest rate nearly three percentage points, for a savings of $763 a month.
He was so impressed he's now using that lender to refinance the condo where he now lives to save an additional $160 a month.
No Excuses!
Announced in 2009, HARP underwent significant changes in 2011 enabling more homeowners to refinance even if they are underwater or have little equity in their home and use the HARP lender of their choice.
During the first six months of 2012, when the program changes took effect, over 400,000 homeowners obtained HARP loans, making up a third of the 1.5 million homeowners who have been helped since the program's inception.
You may qualify for HARP even if you:
- Have little equity or owe more than your home is worth
- Were turned down in the past
- Have a low credit score or income
- Don't have money for closing costs
Fine Print
To qualify for a HARP loan, your mortgage must be owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. A few other restrictions also apply. To find out if you qualify, contact your existing mortgage company (the company listed on your monthly mortgage statement).
If your mortgage company does not offer HARP, use our searchable list of HARP lenders to find one in your area—any participating HARP lender can refinance eligible loans. But don't wait—HARP expires December 31, 2015.

I just got started training Dan Gullickson on it when the rain started. Everyone ended with a smile and comments such as "Can't imagine driving this on the dirt roads and trails of the day."
I fired it up Sunday morning and was going to run over to the hotel and get a newspaper, but alas, the rain came again. bah humbug;;;

New York, NY, September 3, 2012 (Washington Bangla Radio) The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF), LatinoJustice PRLDEF, National Institute for Latino Policy (NILP), and the Center for Law and Social Justice (CLSJ) of Medgar Evers College have released the NYC Council Unity Map, a joint proposal for new City Council districts that reflects New York City's changing demographics and protects the voting rights of Blacks, Latinos, and Asian Americans, according to a press release.
AALDEF, LatinoJustice PRLDEF, NILP, and CLSJ will hold a joint press conference on the Unity Map on Tuesday, September 4, at 11 AM on the steps of City Hall. Please RSVP to jvattamala [at] aaldef [dot] org or 212.966.5932 ex.209.
The Unity Map is the opening salvo in a long process to recast the City Council's district borders as required by law every ten years. The NYC Districting Commission will release its draft of the new council borders on Sept. 5.
The Unity Map was drawn according to the following criteria: (a) adhere to the "One Person-One Vote" requirement of the U.S. Constitution; (b) comply with the Voting Rights Act; (c) protect communities of interest, as required by the New York City Charter; and (d) preserve traditional and emerging neighborhoods.
"We urge the Districting Commission to adopt the Unity Map in order to meet the requirements of the Voting Rights Act and keep communities of interest together," said Margaret Fung, Executive Director of AALDEF. "This will ensure that Asian Americans, Blacks, and Latinos have fair representation in the New York City Council and can elect candidates of their choice."
Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial minority group in New York City, which has the largest Asian American population of any municipality in the nation. Over the past decade, the Asian American population increased 32% to almost 13% of the city's population, numbering over one million. The Asian American population has grown over 300 times faster than the overall population growth in Queens, over 25 times faster than Brooklyn's growth, and over 7 times faster than Manhattan's growth.
The Unity Map unites the communities of interest in Chinatown and most of the Lower East Side into proposed district CD 1 [37.1% Asian American Voting Age Population (VAP)] while removing the distinct neighborhoods of Tribeca and Battery Park City. The two most divided Asian American neighborhoods in NYC, Richmond Hill/South Ozone Park and Bensonhurst (currently divided among 4 districts each), have been substantially improved so that they are mostly united within one district each, proposed CD32 for Richmond Hill [20.8% Asian American VAP] and proposed CD47 for Bensonhurst [33.9% Asian American VAP].
Latinos are New York City's largest minority group, constituting 29% of the City's 8.1 million residents. Under the Unity Map, there will be 11 Latino majority NYC Council districts rather than the current 10. Manhattan will gain one more Latino majority seat. Fourteen districts will have Latino populations over 40%, one more than the present number.
"The Unity Map is the product of listening and working with our communities to ensure fairness in the redistricting process," said Juan Cartagena, President and General Counsel of LatinoJustice PRLDEF. "We must ensure that the Latino community has the opportunity to elect members who will pay attention to their needs and concerns. This is a fair map."
"While the Latino community has grown in very exciting ways throughout NYC, the maps we drew reflect the realities of drawing beyond the numbers," said Lucia Gomez-Jimenez, Executive Director of La Fuente and NILP Redistricting Advisor. "Different perspectives and expertise once again demonstrated a commitment to true community empowerment. We stand by the Unity Coalition plan, and look forward to seeing the role it plays in providing guidance to the Commission's vision for our communities."
According to the 2010 Census, one out of every four New Yorkers is Black. With the large numbers of Caribbean, South American, and Continental Africans immigrating to New York City, the residential patterns have changed. Black New Yorkers currently elect 9 City Council members. Under the Unity Map, 11 effective districts are drawn from Black communities of interest. The new majority districts cover Jamaica, Queens and Canarsie, Brooklyn.
"The Center for Law and Social Justice joins with LatinoJustice, NILP, and AALDEF in demonstrating to the NYC Districting Commission that it is possible to both redraw all 51 Council seats with equal population and simultaneously protect the voting rights of Black, Asian American, and Latino New Yorkers," said Esmeralda Simmons, Esq., Executive Director of the Center for Law and Social Justice at Medgar Evers College, CUNY. "After the 'One Person-One Vote' requirement of the Constitution, adherence to the Voting Rights Act is the next highest priority for NYC Council redistricting plans. The Unity Map shows New York City the most effective means to accomplish these highest priorities."
Event: Press Conference by AALDEF, Latino Justice, and CLSJ Announcing the Unity Map for NYC Council Redistricting
Date and Time: 11 AM, Tuesday, September 4, 2012

2/27 Cubs Monday notebook
Paul Maholm was able to throw a side session on Monday but was sent home after that as he is still recovering from the flu.
"I think he got a little light headed and is still a little dehydrated from being sick," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said.
Maholm was to participate in the team bunting tournament on Monday but his match with Rodrigo Lopez was postponed. The lefty won't have to forfeit.
"That's a legitimate excuse," Sveum said. "I didn't want to keep him around and get anybody else sick. We'll make that match up probably [Tuesday] or the next day when he's better."
* Lopez will start the Cubs' Cactus League opener on Sunday against the Athletics and be followed in the rotation by Ryan Dempster on March 5 against the A's, and and Matt Garza the next day against the Rockies. Sveum said not to read too much into the order. Dempster was the Cubs' Opening Day starter in 2011.
"We'll make that decision in the middle [of spring]," Sveum said. "It's set up to where we're good with whatever we decide."
* How different is Spring Training for Sveum, who was the Brewers hitting coach for six years before taking over the Cubs job as manager?
"I'd say [it's different]," Sveum said. "You're running the whole thing now. You're accountable for everything, you're staff's accountable. You have to hold them accountable for what's going on during the course of the day to make sure everything is running properly and everybody's doing things the way you want them done. A lot of times you have two fields working fundamentals so you can't be on the same field all the time.
"Yeah, it's completely different, especially the last few years after being the hitting coach and all I had to do was be in the cage and watch people hit all the time."
— Carrie Muskat

Sox Win On Cespedes Bomb [VIDEO]

Cespedes now has game winning home runs in two straight games.
The Red Sox beat the Reds 3-2 with Joe Kelly pitching the first six innings and four relievers closing out the win.

HOUSTON --The mother of two of the young day care fire victims has filed a lawsuit against operator Jessica Tata, her parents and the state of Texas.
Tiffany Dickerson's 3-year-old son, Shomari, was killed in the fire. His 2-year-old sister Makayla was severely burned and faces more surgeries and rehabilitation to help her regain the use of her legs. Dickerson is suing Tata, her parents and the state for negligence. The lawsuit claims if the state had followed its own minimum standards for in-home day cares, it never should have given a license to Jackie's Child Care, the business operated by Tata. Besides Shomari and Makayla Dickerson, three other children were killed and two more injured in the February 24th fire. Also on Wednesday, Tata pleaded not guilty to the 13 criminal charges against her at an arraignment hearing.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- We love that we don't have room to keep all of the stuff that just accumulates in a bigger space, simply because there is room for it. Living in our small space has forced us to evaluate what we really need and what we can get by without. If it makes the cut, it's because it is something we truly value.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- Since there isn't a lot of room, the biggest challenge for us is finding a place to put everything that we love and want to hold on to without making the place look cluttered. We've solved this by installing cabinets up and out of the way, taking inspiration from Apartment Therapy and other blogs, and building multipurpose furniture, like our own version of the Stella Table, which was featured on Apartment Therapy.

- Chris has always wanted an Eames LCW, so we'd start there. We'd love to get rid of the full-size dishwasher and install a single drawer model, which would allow us to have a drawer underneath for more kitchen storage. We've done our best with the limited kitchen storage we have, but we'd love to have more room in there.
