On April 26th, 2014 hundreds of filmmakers, non-profit organizations, and inspired citizens documented stories and investigated 10 questions for the future of San Francisco as part of a city-wide, participatory media-creation event. The resulting media will be showcased in an interactive geo-tagged archive and a TV series on the future of the American city. In addition, local media partners will showcase the most powerful and inspiring videos created during the one-day filmmaking event.
On April 26th, the people of San Francisco filmed stories that investigated one or more of the 10 questions below.
More than just prompting interviews, the following questions are inspiration for visual investigations:
This is your chance to help create a TV Series and Geo-tagged archive featuring stories that matter most to you. This is a historic film project that gives you the power to tell your unique story and show the world what a day in the life of your city is like—through your eyes. You have the opportunity to have your voice heard, to share your personal portrait of the city and to help determine the future of your city. Additionally, this project will result in a TV series on the future of American cities that will feature select captured footage and run on local PBS affiliates.
No. You may investigate as many or as few as you wish. In addition, the 10th question is up to you, allowing for flexibility in how you participate.
Your Day. Your City. Your Future. is an initiative that invites urban dwellers to document stories that inform the sustainable future of their communities during a 24-hour filming event. The project launched with 11 US cities on April 26, 2014. Your Day. Your City. Your Future. leverages the power of hyper-local storytelling and the medium of film to capture and archive authentic, compelling narratives happening now in urban areas.
Submissions create an accessible geo-tagged city wide archive showcasing all media created that day. Project producers are also working with local PBS affiliates and public broadcasters to create a TV series that will include the captured footage and investigate the future of American cities.
Will our cities be powerful pillars of society in 20 years? With growing populations and overconsumption of finite resources, how will the legacy of our cities navigate the future? Faced with climate change, terrorism, crime, corruption, and disparity of wealth, our cities have incredible challenges that strike at the core of humanity's ability to sustain. However, these emblems of density, with their complex histories and vast diversity, offer hope by cross-pollinating ideas and providing the innovations of technology, mind, and spirit required for humanity to thrive.
One Day on Earth is the parent project of the Your Day. Your City. Your Future. initiative that focuses on harnessing the power of a 24 hour filming event locally. One Day on Earth started by producing the award-winning, first-of-its-kind global media project that took place during the 24-hour period of October 10, 2010 (10.10.10) and collected and archived film submissions from every country in the world. It started in September of 2008 with the goal of creating a unique worldwide media event where thousands of participants would simultaneously film over a 24-hour period and grew steadily as a grassroots effort of international filmmakers.
Their first global media event on 10.10.10 was an amazing success. For the first time in history, One Day on Earth created media with participants in every country of the world contributing on the same day. The United Nations and over 60 non-profit organizations participated, and they collectively created over 3000 hours of video, an interactive geo-tagged archive, as well as a groundbreaking feature film. It has since developed into an annual media event (11.11.11. and 12.12.12.) and inspired the Your Day. Your City. Your Future. project.
We plan to open up the filming campaign to other major cities. You can nominate your city at http://yourdayyourcity.org/#movement.
No. This is open to amateur and professional filmmakers, as well as ordinary inspired people. We want to capture the real, raw human stories taking place in American cities. If you have a story to tell, you're invited to join us.
No problem. Use the best camera you have access to. Authentic powerful stories are more important than your gear. We're accepting video submissions through all sorts of cameras—from your RED CAM to your smart phone camera.
You do. You will retain ownership and rights. In order for us to create a film and other creative projects, you will need to grant One Day on Earth a nonexclusive royalty free license.

HSBC has reduced its number of staff by almost 30,000 in the last two years and said more job cuts are likely across the bank to achieve its cost efficiency targets.
The bank had 266,700 staff at the end of September, down from 296,000 at the end of 2010 and down about 21,000 this year.
HSBC Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver said about 15,000 of the reduction were due to disposals by the bank and he expected more cuts before the end of 2013 to improve cost efficiency. "We are probably likely to see the headcount reduce further...in terms of the organic reduction, there's still some way to go," he told reporters on a conference call.
Gulliver said in May 2011 he would cut about 30,000 jobs as part of a restructuring plan.

The 2009 Jessie Bernard Award winner is Stanford University's Lucie Stern Professor of Social Sciences Cecilia Ridgeway.
Ridgeway is a path-breaking social psychologist whose scholarship enhances "our understanding of gender inequality as much as, or more than, anyone else during the last half of the 20th century" Linda Molm notes in her nomination letter.
Ridgeway's scholarship has been published in all the top sociology journals and in every significant handbook and important edited collection in the fields of social psychology and gender. The significance of her scholarship was recognized by ASA's Social Psychology Section, which awarded her the 2004 Cooley-Mead Award, the section's highest honor.
Ridgeway's theoretical and empirical research has been front and center in sociology and psychology. She was asked to contribute the lead theoretical article in two special issues of the psychology journal The Journal of Social Issues, which demonstrates the broad reach of her scholarship. Her research on status construction theory powerfully explains how a nominal characteristic like gender acquires status value and thus reproduces inequality. Her effort to link micro-processes and macro-structures has transformed scholarly thinking by illuminating how interactional processes preserve gender hierarchies.
Her 1992 book Gender, Interaction, and Inequality, a now classic study in the status characteristic tradition,offers a comprehensive explication of this innovative research. Ridgeway's subsequent research further demonstrates that status processes in collective groups are fundamentally collaborative, rather than a contest of dominance, for both women and men. In another line of research, she examines the relation between status processes in collective groups and socio-emotional behavior. A related dimension of her extensive research portfolio expands expectation states theory to incorporate emotions and nonverbal behavior and their role in perpetuating gender inequality.
Commenting on the applied nature of her important work, Molm praised Ridgeway's ability to explain, in accessible terms, "the changing status of women in America, the persistence of gender inequality in work settings, and the implications of gender for leadership. Indeed, one of the hallmarks of her work is that she never loses sight of the larger impact of her scholarly work and its ultimate importance for helping us to understand gender inequality in society: what creates it, what maintains it, why it persists despite major changes in the socioeconomic organization of society, and what must be done to undermine the interactional forces that feed gender inequality."
Ridgeway effectively demonstrates what feminist scholars consistently argue for, namely, the "incorporation of gender into a general understanding of social process in a multi-level formulation that incorporates interactional, group, and societal level phenomena" Lynn Smith-Lovin writes. Judith Howard emphasizes that Ridgeway "is one of the very few sociologists working today who has effectively operationalized the frequent call for use of multiple levels of analysis and multiple methods of research. Through both experimental and field-based research, she has pushed the horizons of understanding about small group processes, processes through which status is created and enacted, and brings these to bear on questions of stratification."
Ridgeway has produced important eloquent theoretical and experimental research while also mentoring students and junior faculty and performing exemplary professional service. She has served on editorial boards of three sociological journals, as editor of several special issues, and as editor of Social Psychology Quarterly. She has also served as Chair of ASA's Sections on Social Psychology, Sex and Gender, and Sociology of Emotions. In addition, she was elected president of the Pacific Sociological Association.
Furthermore, Ridgeway has been a tireless advocate for institutional policies to promote gender equality, always linking this effort with her scholarship. For example, one aspect of her research on gender and group processes emphasizes the significance of legitimation for women leaders. One of her many contributions is the development of a theory that maps the conditions through which women can acquire the necessary legitimation to be effective leaders.
In sum, as nominator Joey Sprague concludes, "In her longstanding commitment to ending gender inequality, in the substantive contribution her work makes to actually helping to do that, and in the way she interpersonally supports women who are more junior than she, Cecilia Ridgeway exemplifies the legacy of Jessie Bernard."

Oh. My. God!! Everybody's talking about Jessica Simpson's appearance on Katie Couric's new talk show, Katie -- not just because of the star's big "post-baby body" reveal, but for another baby body: 4-month-old Maxwell Drew, looking unbelievably adorable in a teeny yellow bikini. HOW CUTE IS THIS BABY?! Those cheeks! Those legs! I could eat her up, oh yes I could! But would you believe that people are criticizing Simpson for showing off this snapshot to Couric ... because they think it's inappropriate?! Oh for Pete's sake, people, really?!
First of all, completely decent, non-pervert types have been photographing babies in the buff for ages -- even my grandmother proudly displayed posed professional pictures on the wall of her kids as babies, lying on their tummies, bums bare (and no one ever accused that woman of being anything less than uber-conservative, let me tell you).
Second of all, if you really want to read THAT much into the picture, you could say Simpson was making a joke about trading her swimsuit model past for new motherhood, or that because the bikini is crocheted like an old-fashioned bathing suit, Simpson is calling for a return to old-fashioned values, or that Maxwell Drew's baby mohawk is an anti-establishment statement against modern beauty standards.
OR you could say, "OH MY GOD, look at that adorable baby in her cute yellow bikini!"
Sheesh. The world needs to get a grip.
Do you think it's such a big deal that Jessica Simpson dressed her baby in a bikini?

Buckeye Valley Barons
� Coach: Mike Marshall (year at school: 10th; career record: 122-150)
� Last year: 7-3, 7-2 (third in division)
� Top players: C Wyatt Pfeifer (6-3, 245, sr.); G Jack Baseman (5-11, 180, sr.); DT Logan Dziak (6-3, 270, sr.); DT David Praul (5-10, 270, jr.)
� The goods: A year after making a strong bid for their first playoff appearance, the Barons appear to be in a rebuilding mode. Graduation losses have resulted in a young team that�s lacking depth. Marshall hopes his team can counteract that with continuity from its recent success and an improved emphasis on offseason strength and speed conditioning.
Elgin Comets
� Coach: Patrick Cotter (year at school: second; career record: 4-6)
� Last year: 4-6, 4-5 (fifth in division)
� Top players: QB-DB Mason Clark (5-10, 165, sr.); WR-DB C.J. Flach (5-11, 150, sr.); T-DE Nate Blevins (6-1, 220, sr.); G-DT Casey Ogan (6-1, 280, sr.); C-DT Cory Pierce (6-0, 235, sr.); RB-SS Noah Haynes (5-10, 160, jr.); WR-CB Bryston Williams (6-1, 155, jr.)
� The goods: Cotter is buoyed by the return of 15 starters, giving Elgin excellent experience on both sides of the ball. The offensive and defensive lines should set the tone for the Comets� success.
Fairbanks Panthers
� Coach: Dave Gebhart (year at school: fourth; career record: 24-9)
� Last year: 5-5, 5-1 (tied for first in North West Central Conference)
� Top players: QB Hunter Burnett (6-2, 180, sr.); RB Brent Nicol (6-0, 190, sr.); LB Connor Smith (5-10, 205, sr.)
� The goods: Burnett (2,082 yards, 22 TDs) is one of the most prolific passers in the area, but he has unproven receivers to work with. He is complemented by Nicol (1,009 yards, 13 TDs), who heads an experienced stable of running backs. Smith (70 tackles) is the catalyst of the defense. The Panthers dominated in the North West Central Conference (46-6 since 2005), so it will be interesting to see how they fare in a more competitive league with larger schools.
Jonathan Alder Pioneers
� Coach: Steve Coate (year at school: seventh; career record: 74-38-1)
� Last year: 4-5
� Top players: OL-DL Chandler Ferko (6-4, 225, sr.); LB Dylan Alexander (5-9, 175, sr.); RB-DB Jesse Beachy (5-10, 175, jr.); DB Andrew Mullet (5-11, 175, sr.); DB Trent Kaltenbach (5-10, 175, sr.); RB-LB Derek Parker (6-0, 220, jr.)
� The goods: Alder�s string of 11 consecutive playoff appearances ended in 2012 as it suffered its first losing season since 1998. The Pioneers will relish playing in a league again after 10 years as an independent. Alder returns seven starters on defense and three on offense. It has 89 players on the roster. John Jewett (6-3, 190) will move from receiver to quarterback.
North Union Wildcats
� Coach: Jesse Miller (year at school: sixth; career record: 47-8)
� Last year: 11-1, 9-0 (first in division; Division IV regional semifinalist)
� Top players: RB-DB Thane Hoffman (5-11, 170, sr.); RB-LB Daltin Thompson (5-10, 165, sr.); DE-TE Nate Curts (6-5, 210, sr.); DB-WR Will Welch (6-1, 170, sr.); RB-LB Jake Blevins (6-0, 190, sr.); TE-DL Caleb Hudson (6-4, 225, jr.)
� The goods: Nine returning starters and 19 seniors heighten the expectations of North Union, which has lost only one regular-season game in the past four seasons. Blevins (782 yards) and Hoffman (779 yards, 19 TDs) form a stellar rushing tandem. Curts
(14 tackles for loss, eight sacks) is disruptive on the defensive side. Miller loves his team�s speed and depth. He wants to see his interior linemen get tougher.
Pleasant Spartans
� Coach: Aaron Cook (year at school: fourth; career record: 25-7)
� Last year: 7-3, 6-3 (first in MOAC Blue)
� Top players: LB Chase Kelly (6-0, 205, sr.); OL-DL Scott Foster (6-1, 260, sr.); QB-DB Ryan Maniaci (6-1, 180, jr.); RB-WR-DB Kyle Galyk (5-8, 175, sr.); OL-DL Jeff Fairchild (6-0, 255, sr.)
� The goods: Absent from the playoffs last year � the third time in four seasons � Pleasant will continue to have great expectations, and with good reason. Cook has an excellent senior class. Kelly was a first-team all-district choice, and Foster made second team. Galyk (1,117 all-purpose yards, 11 TDs) is a big-play threat. Pleasant�s schedule is more ambitious.
River Valley Vikings
� Coach: Doug Green (year at school: fourth; career record: 82-68)
� Last year: 8-3, 8-1 (second in division; Division III regional quarterfinalist)
� Top players: QB Matt Green (5-9, 160, sr.); DB Tyler Simmons (5-11, 165, sr.); RB Gage Stuckman (5-9, 185, sr.); RB Dylan Kelley (5-10, 165, sr.); TE-LB Garret Trafzer (5-9, 195, sr.); OL-DL Jimmy Longo (6-0, 250, sr.)
� The goods: The Vikings have reached the postseason four times since 2001 but have yet to win there. Green has plenty of senior holdovers who played significant roles on the 2011 and �12 playoff teams. Green (1,333 total yards, 15 TDs), Stuckman (570 yards, nine TDs) and Kelley (565 yards, nine TDs) offer plenty of balance in the backfield. Simmons (79 tackles) anchors the defense.
� Steve Blackledge

You kill a mob… cloth
You kill a boss… cloth
You loot a chest… cloth
You kill a player… a few sliver and a kick up the arse.
The Emperor's new clothes
This is what I don't understand, why is it, that that cloth wearing fool of a Warlock that tried to take down the widdly-biddy-fireball-throwing Gnome Mage, can't spare me some cloth?
I'm more than happy to tear off their epic robe, cloak or undies and stuff that in my backpack.
In fact one would assume that it would be some sort of enchanted cloth, but I would settle for normal cloth.
I would even settle for singed cloth scraps – if I could turn them into a whole piece of cloth.
Which brings me to my 1st tangent (of I don't know how many, maybe the last, but who will know until any of us reach the end of the post?)
Why can we pick up leather scraps AND why can a Leatherworker then convert these into a whole piece of leather, yet a tailor can't do the same with cloth?
What, a tailor doesn't know how to sew scraps together?
You kidding me?
That's what my Mother-in-Law did for years in India to survive. She would go house to house collecting people's unwanted cloth scraps, sew them together and sell whatever she could make.
She could do this in the real world, yet my 525 tailor can only work with complete piece of cloth.
I know this is a fantasy game, but I think that's just a step too far removed from reality!
The track I am now back on…
Anyway, the thing that really really bugs me is that PvP is not a money earner.
Yes, yes I realise if you are raiding you need to get some gold from somewhere to pay for your repairs.
And yes I am aware you get some gold thrown at you for winning a BG, but there is a disconnect when it comes to picking stuff up.
If you enjoy PvE, you may well raid and will most likely do instances and quests – all of these have drops that can add to the bank balance or crafting bank.
If you PvP and prefer that to a night (or 7 nights) or instancing etc… well you better find some more time on top of your passion to grind out some profession mats.
PvP zones with benefits
There are two zones that I can think of where gathering was allowed during PvP: Wintergrasp and Tol Barad.
You used to be able to fish in Alterac Valley, maybe do other things as well… but then back in those days, battles went for 3 days, so you probably needed some recreation activities.
Even Wintergrasp and Tol Barad don't have NPCs during battle time, so you can't be looting extra items off them while the battle rages.
So, you are kind of screwed unless you want to "work overtime" when not defending for the Alliance or Horde.
If they bring it, let me loot it.
I'm not talking about high drop rates, but even if I had a stack of cloth at the end of a night of BGs, I would be spared a grinding session (plus the travel etc involved).
Why not have level and class specific drops off player characters, you know, some plate (uncomfortable), leather (ohhh kinky), or frilly cloth (not that I'd wear something like that) undies to pick up?
- Metal bars and Earth "shards" off plate wearers.
- Leather "scraps" and Nature/Shadow "shards" off leather wearers.
- Cloth "scraps" and Water/Air/Fire "shards" off cloth wearing casters (plus the odd BoE Epic off Warlocks, just to make sure they are focused down!)
Is it really too much to ask?
Gnomer and Out!
PS: May the fourth be with you! (assuming you are reading this in my yesterday)

Wow! Another playoff! What's that... like 137 this year! Actual I think it's 11, with 16 being the record for a season. Congratulations to Harrison Frazar for his first PGA TOUR victory! Well done!
Tournaments aren't really won on playoffs though... are they? I mean it's the incredible bunker shot, or the 32' putt made, or the "up and down" made from 25 yards during regulation rounds that force playoffs. Which also means, that tournaments aren't lost on playoffs either, but because of poor shots during regulation rounds.
When poor shots do happen during a round, rarely is it because the swing changed. Just think how hard you worked on trying to make even a little change. You probably spent days... weeks... months... even YEARS on incorporating that change into your game. No... the swing usually doesn't break down during a round, something changes mentally. Like the realization that you are in the lead, or the awareness of people watching you, or an image pops into your head of your ball slicing and ruining someone's BBQ! Ugh!!
In the match between Robert Karlsson and Harrison Frazar, they were very consistent with their pre-shot routines on every shot. Everything was very deliberate... with purpose... and focused (as in VERY focused!).
For example, on the 14th hole during regulation play, a train whistle could be heard in the background while Frazar was about to hit. During his pre-shot routine… obviously distracted by the train whistle...he stepped away. He regrouped, went through his routine again, and hit a great shot on a very difficult par 3. Had he NOT stepped away but instead proceeded to hit (how many times have we done that?), well... who knows what the outcome might have been.
So developing a good pre-shot routine for the golf course is instrumental for settling your nerves and keeping you focused on the shot at hand.
Here's what I suggest...
1.) VISUALIZE the shot. Before even choosing a club, take into consideration the target, distance, ball lie, wind, weather, obstacles, etc... and decide on the type of shot you want to hit. Only then should you choose the club. This is why pros leave their clubs in the bag until they've considered all the options.
2.) FEEL the swing you want to make during your practice swing and rate your practice swing on a scale of "1" to "10" where "1" is poor and "10" is awesome! Only, if you would rate your practice swing (think of it as a "rehearsal" of the swing you want to make) an "8," "9," or "10," would you then proceed to the next step. By the way, on the course you should limit your practice swings to two.
3.) SET UP to the ball now... focusing on fundamentals: grip, stance, posture, ball position, and alignment. What I call "controllables," because you have total "control" over these, meaning there is no excuse for sloppiness. And while you're at it, spend more time looking at the target and less time at the ball... much like a baseball pitcher staring at the catcher's mitt before throwing.
4.) LET IT GO! You've done everything to prepare yourself for success, now it's time to just trust it and let it go!
One final thought... just as important as it is practicing the mechanics of your game... it's just as important to practice your pre-shot routine. I recommend going through your entire pre-shot routine on at least every third shot during practice.

Physical & Occupational Therapy
Second Floor
1350 Walton Way
Augusta, GA 30901
University's Physical and Occupational Therapy departments provide a full continuum of care for newborns, children and adults.
Physical Therapy (PT)
Physical Therapy is dedicated to the rehabilitation of physical dysfunction and the prevention of disability following disease or injury. The goal of physical therapists is to promote optimal human health by restoring function and assisting the patient to return to the highest level of independence possible.
Following a referral to Physical Therapy by a physician, a physical therapist performs a comprehensive initial evaluation, develops a plan of treatment, and establishes realistic goals. The patient and family members are instructed in exercise programs and participate in performing functional activities. Physical therapists most commonly provide treatment for patients with the following disabilities or dysfunctions: strokes, spinal cord injuries, sports or musculoskeletal injuries, orthopedic or cardiac surgery, arthritis, amputation, cancer, open wounds, general deconditioning and children with neuromuscular or developmental problems.
The physical therapy team includes licensed physical therapists, licensed physical therapy assistants and physical therapy aided.
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Occupational Therapy works with individuals whose activities of daily living are disrupted or impaired by developmental deficits, the aging process, physical injury, illness or psychological disability. Occupational therapists' training stresses the need to identify problems that hamper a person's normal day to day tasks, "Occupations" such as feeding, dressing, bathing, cooking, work tasks or leisure skills. Therapists evaluate a client's motion, strength, coordination, sensation, swelling, pain level, endurance, safety awareness, cognitive skills and balance, and determine a treatment plan that will improve any limited areas.
The goal is to help patients regain lost function or overcome disability by learning adaptive skills. Therapy focuses on goal-oriented functional activities and exercises, which may include strengthening, coordination, range-of-motion exercises and provision of splints. Occupational Therapy is staffed with registered occupational therapists.
Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy work as a close team with the many health providers throughout the University system to provide quality care to patients. Evaluation and treatment for both services require a physician's order.
Services are provided to inpatients throughout the hospital. Outpatient services are available in the PT/OT clinic at University Hospital. Programs available through PT and OT offer treatment for lymphedema and vestibular disorders.
Since 1985 the Work Performance Center has helped injured workers get back on the job. Prevention, work evaluation and rehabilitation are all part of the Work Performance Center's goal which is to get injured employees back to work. The Center, as a part of University Hospital's Occupational Therapy Department, also offers injury prevention and job safety education, physical demand assessment, work conditioning and pre-employment screenings.
Click here for detailed instructions about your physical or occupational health appointment.
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.; Inpatient coverage is provided on a daily basis based on the patient's plan of care.

This semester we have classes of English Liturature, and I'm into it. I love Hemingway's works the best due to the fact that the vacabulary he used are concise, elegant and easily to be read. Moreover, he is good at metaphor. Even though it's just a simple word, it always implies some thought or ideas that author wants to tell us. The best way to read his essay or novels are super-slowly reading. It means you have to read all the vacabulary carefully and don't skip important words. Because each word is important in each sentence. For enjoy your reading, you can choose a clean, well-lighted and comfortable place. If you lalso like Hemingway's work as well, I recommend you read "The old man and the sea" firstly. Or if you already read a lot of his other essays/novels, please share your reading experience or your comment with me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

So i'd like to tell about "The old man and the sea". Actually I was not interested in the work at first. But I realized the content has a significant symbol. I think he described the old man's indomitable spirit with the concise and strong style in the novel. The stage of the novel, the sea stands for our reality. The sea is like Mother who gives a courage to the child. Even though the old man brought a long backbone of the great fish, he did his best. We have to make a model of the old man's strong will.

Lives of the saints
These are the holy people who didn't quite make the cut—until they did.
Alphonsus Rodriguez must have thought he had it made. Yes, there had been a few bumps in the road. His education had been cut short when his father died and Alphonsus had to return home to Segovia, Spain, destined to take over the family wool business, though it had been much reduced. But once home he settled in and started a family in 1557.
So it's unlikely he had any idea of the four hammer blows that were about to shatter his life: The deaths of his entire family—first his son, then two more of his children, and finally his wife. On top of that, his business failed.
Off their pedestals
Everyone has experienced personal failures, not to mention conflict with others or alienation from family, friends, and community. How about uncertainty over the course of your life? Rejection? Running into your personal limitations? Severe illness? Then there are deaths and other losses. Do you have things in your past you're not proud of? Maybe you haven't been always been good with money.
So have saints, or at least many of them. Rarely, though, do people think of them as struggling, in part due to the sometimes oversimplified and sanitized versions of their biographies most people see.
That's too bad. People do venerate saints as those who are dwelling eternally with God and "on whose constant intercession we rely for help," as the Mass prayer says. But we can also look to saints because we recognize human beings who worked through life's complexities and still managed to live close to God and thereby inspire others to do the same.
Down but not out
After suffering his terrible losses, Alphonsus Rodriguez turned to the community he had known and respected as a young man: the Jesuits. At age 35 he decided he wanted to become a priest. Poor health, however, and his abbreviated education made him a less-than-ideal candidate. Rejected for the priesthood, he became a religious brother.
So in 1579 Rodriguez became the doorkeeper at a Jesuit school, greeting visitors, fetching teachers and students, running errands, and giving to the poor who came to the door. In all this he became someone people sought for his advice—including the future saint Peter Claver, who followed his suggestion to become a missionary among the slaves of South America.
His image of himself remained humble. "In the difficulties which are placed before me," he wrote, "why should I not act like a donkey? . . . When he is mistreated, he says nothing. . . . The true servant of God must do likewise and say with David: Before you I have become like a beast of burden."
While we may not feel the need to model our lives after a pack animal, it's possible to see in the life of Alphonsus Rodriguez that catastrophes don't mean life can't go on. Losses and failures, though painful, can also teach acceptance, lead to greater compassion for others whose suffering we may not have noticed before, and also give us insight into how we can become a source of wisdom and inspiration for others.
From soldiers to saints
Some saints, such as Camillus de Lellis (1550-1614), got off to false starts and struggled to find direction but were able to shed their pasts and find new paths.
When he was 17, Camillus fulfilled his longing to join his father on his military adventures. He also imitated his father in acquiring a gambling addiction. The two were so wild and disruptive, even by mercenary standards, that they were kicked out of camp. Wandering the roads, surviving by their card games, the health of Camillus' father broke down and he died shortly afterward. By this point Camillus had another problem: a chronically infected leg wound.
Eventually Camillus went to the hospital of San Giacomo in Rome, where he had gone previously to exchange treatment of his leg for work as a servant. This time he placed himself under the spiritual care of future saint Philip Neri and entered into his tasks with a new spirit.
Though the patients were treated fairly well at San Giacomo, it occurred to Camillus that good care for the sick was not only a job but a vocation of love. With that he chose five like-minded others from the nursing staff to work as a separate group in the hospital. In time his new community became a full-fledged religious order, known today as the Camillians.
Then there's St. John of God. He ran away from home at age 8 and ended up wandering the roads, begging from village to village for several years. In time he joined the Spanish army. When not fighting he wiled away his time drinking and gambling.
One day he fell from a stolen horse he was riding. Terrified he would be captured or killed by the enemy, he had a change of heart. But when he returned to his army, some comrades took advantage of his newfound good nature to trick him into going AWOL. As punishment he was stripped, beaten, and drummed out of the army.
After more begging, shepherding, and working as a laborer in Africa to support a family who had been exiled, his love of reading gave him the idea to become a traveling religious book and holy-card salesman. He later settled in Granada, Spain, where he established a small bookshop.
One day he heard a sermon on repentance from another future saint, John of Ávila, which proved a little too effective: After listening to it, John of God went back to his store, tore up all the nonreligious books, and gave away the rest of his stock and all his money. Weeping for his sins, he walked the streets in torn clothes and was the target of both derision and mud pellets thrown at him by the good people of Granada, who thought he had gone a little mad.
Friends took him to a hospital where he received treatment no better than the army had just given him: being tied down and whipped. After a few weeks he got a visit from John of Ávila, who advised him to snap out of it and direct his remorse in more positive directions.
Like Camillus de Lellis, John didn't look far to serve. He turned to the patients around him. To support this work he was willing to try just about anything, like selling wood. He rented rooms on credit to serve as an early hospital and opened a homeless shelter in an old monastery.
It may take time for life decisions to work themselves out. If we or a family member or friend have made some bad choices, it helps to remember Camillus and John who turned out right after making some wrong turns. Their lives also communicate how even in strained circumstances opportunities abound to do good and help others around us if we look for them, though pursuing them at times may require some sacrifice and effort.
On the edge
Many had thought John of God to be mentally ill. Benedict Labre may have actually been so.
As a young student in 18th-century France, he did well in some subjects but had a certain independence of mind and spirit and found himself drawn away to visit with poor people on the roads. Very religious from an early age, he thought the relative solitude of being a monk might be the life for him.
He applied to three contemplative communities—the Trappists, Carthusians, and Cistercians—who rejected him in turn for various reasons. One cited his lack of education. Another had experienced a run of bad candidates and turned Labre away because of his precarious health. Some suspected he was mentally ill. Yet another gave him a trial period only for Labre to find that, in the end, monastic life depressed him.
If he couldn't be a contemplative in a monastery, he could take his desire for solitude, poverty, silence, and prayer on the road. From this point his life became a continual pilgrimage. He walked all over Europe visiting shrines in Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland.
Stories about his travels abound. He rarely had more than a pittance of money and frequently gave what he had to beggars. He slept wherever he could—in barns, under bushes. When he resided in Rome in the last years of his life, he lived in the ruins of the Coliseum. He treasured silence and was said to go for months without saying anything. Only partially clothed and wrapped in a ragged coat, his hair was uncombed and he didn't always smell very good.
His lifestyle—austerities, poor food, lack of shelter, and general self-neglect—contributed to his decline. On Wednesday of Holy Week he was leaving church after the morning liturgy and fell down the steps. Carried to a nearby home, he died not long after.
Though Labre strenuously avoided recognition during his lifetime, he could do nothing about it after his death in Rome in 1783. Within a very a short time after his death all of Rome seemed to know about it. Two churches vied to be his burial site. On the day of the funeral, soldiers were needed to accompany his body through a throng that filled the church all of Holy Week as his body lay in state. Even after his burial on Easter Sunday afternoon, crowds continued to come to the church. Somehow the reputation of this reclusive poor man had gotten around.
Small rewards
Trying to do good in difficult circumstances and needing time—and therefore patience—to find one's vocation were also part of the story of Rose Philippine Duchesne. She was also not a stranger to failure, hardship, and illness.
Born in France, the young Duchesne was devout but also a bit headstrong. At 18 she joined the Visitation Sisters, but the French Revolution dispersed the community and Rose had to go home. Eventually she entered Madeleine Sophie Barat's recently formed Religious of the Sacred Heart. She carried with her a desire to be a missionary to Native Americans but had to wait until she was 49 to get to the United States, in particular Missouri, where she and her fellow sisters established a free school for the poor, an orphanage, and new convents.
The bishop who assigned her wrote the sisters: "You have come, you say, seeking the cross. Well, you have taken exactly the right road to find it. A thousand unforeseen difficulties may arise." He was right.
Though the first Jesuits in Missouri credited Duchesne's sharing of her own meager resources with saving their mission, she was having problems of her own. Money and firewood were hard to find. The children and their parents were apathetic. The sisters were frequently ill; Duchesne herself contracted yellow fever. She had trouble learning new languages. And in all of it she blamed herself.
"There is no one in the community who is not suffering," she wrote in a letter back home to France. "It is heartbreaking, after such ardent desires, to see our success hindered or slowed up and to realize I am the obstacle."
After years of this kind of work, Duchesne, now in her 70s, was finally given permission to realize her dream of teaching Native American children. She resigned her leadership position and went to the Jesuit mission at Sugar Creek, Kansas. Though fatigue and difficulty with the Native American languages limited her time there to a year, she earned a native name that meant "The Woman Who Prays Always." She continued that life of prayer, spending much of her remaining 10 years in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
All for love
Saints who struggled found their way through their many difficulties. They amply demonstrate that life is a journey—even if the path sometimes involves a bit of wandering. They saw how they could change direction and did not have to be bound to their pasts. Prayer also had feet: They took it—and the closeness to God it brought—with them on their journeys.
Their stories also can lead us to realize how catastrophes are not the end of our story. Rejection can teach persistence and acceptance that things do not turn out the way they wanted.
One can be wise without a ton of educational achievement. Chronic problems such as illness need not prevent us from being productive and generous people. Money isn't everything.
Can't do big things in life? Then be content with the small things; they have infinite value. Chances to help others with both their physical and spiritual needs and chances to accept help from others are all around us, even—and especially—in difficult times.
Above all, these holy people came to know that what sustained them was love. With love for God and others they found holiness through their struggles. And so can we.

EDT:Tutorial: RUI With DataBase Lesson 9
Access a database with EGL Rich UI
|< Previous | Next >
Lesson 9: Complete the code that supports the user interface
Next, you will complete the single-row layout, as well as the code that supports the Clear and Save buttons.
Complete the layout that displays a single row
To complete the single-row layout:
Click the Source tab, if necessary. Then locate the selectedPayment_category_comboBox declaration. In the set-values block, in place of the brackets for the values property, specify the PaymentLib.categories array. The list of values in the combo box will now be the values in the categories array that you created in the PaymentLib library. Here is the changed declaration:
selectedPayment_category_comboBox DojoComboBox{values = PaymentLib.categories , layoutData = new GridLayoutData{row = 2, column = 2}};
To set the value of that combo box to a category description rather than an integer, update the cellClicked function to access a library function that you coded earlier:
function cellClicked(myGrid DataGrid in) selectedPayment = allPayments_ui.getSelection()[1] as paymentRec; selectedPayment_form.publish(); selectedPayment_category_comboBox.value = PaymentLib.getCategoryDesc(selectedPayment.category); end
Save the file, but do not close it.
Test the new code
Review the effect of your last change.
- Click the Preview tab.
- Click the first line of sample data. The
single-record layout now displays the category name rather than an
When the user clicks Clear to remove nondefault content from the single-record layout, the clearAllFields function runs. The function sets up the layout so that when the user types data and clicks Save, the new typed data updates an existing database row.
To implement this, first click the Source tab, if necessary. Find the clearAllFields function and make it as follows:
function clearAllFields(event Event in) saveID INT = selectedPayment.paymentID; // retain the key selectedPayment = new PaymentRec{}; selectedPayment.paymentID = saveID; selectedPayment_form.publish(); end
The code retains the record key for use in a subsequent update of the database. The code then creates a record, assigns it to the selectedPayment variable, assigns the saved key value to that variable, and publishes the variable to the single-record layout.
Now complete the function that is invoked when the user clicks Save. Find the function, which is named selectedPayment_form_Submit and modify as follows:
function selectedPayment_form_Submit(event Event in) selectedPayment_category_comboBox.value = PaymentLib.getCategoryNum(selectedPayment_category_comboBox.value); if (selectedPayment_form.isValid()) selectedPayment_form.commit(); selectedPayment_category_comboBox.value = PaymentLib.getCategoryDesc(selectedPayment_category_comboBox.value); // update allPayments with new version of selectedPayment for(i INT from 1 to allPayments.getSize()) if(allPayments[i].paymentID == selectedPayment.paymentID) allPayments[i] = selectedPayment; exit for; end end call dbService.editPayment(selectedPayment) returning to recordRevised onException serviceExceptionHandler; end end
The following clause checks the validity of copying the widget content to the related field:
if (selectedPayment_form.isValid())
A problem arises with the Dojo combo box for Description, because the widget content is of type STRING and the related field is selectedPayment.category, which is of type INT. The validation of the Dojo combo box requires that combo box include either integers or strings, such as "1" or "20," that can be converted to integers.
To handle the issue, use an EGL combo widget or ensure that the Dojo combo box includes a valid integer before validation. The previous code demonstrates the second option, and begins by assigning the integer:
selectedPayment_category_comboBox.value = PaymentLib.getCategoryNum(selectedPayment_category_comboBox.value);
The function thereafter checks the validity of the data in the single-record layout and, if the data is valid, does as follows:
- Commits the validated data to the selectedPayment record. This "commit" is part of MVC processing and has nothing to do with a database commit.
- Updates the Dojo combo box in the single-record layout so that the value of that field is again a string.
- Revises the allPayments array element that contains the saved key value. At that point, the array element includes a copy of the data that the user wants in the database.
- Calls the service to update a single row in the database. The related callback function assigns the allPayments array to the data array of the data grid, and that assignment re-renders the grid with the updated data. The grid will be re-rendered with data assigned in the selectedPayment_form_Submit function, not with data retrieved from the database.
Now save the file, but do not close it. If you see errors in your source file, compare your code to the file contents in Code for PaymentFileMaintenance.egl after lesson 9.
Test the new code
You can now test the completed application.
- Click the Preview tab. The sample data that you entered earlier is displayed.
- Select the blank record at the bottom of the sample data.
You created this record in a previous lesson. The Payment record grid
shows blank fields, with the following exceptions:
- A key number is displayed.
- The Amount field shows a zero value.
- The current date is used as a default because the value of the DATE variable is null.
- Complete the record with data such as the following:
- For Category, enter Automotive.
- For Description, enter Gas.
- For Amount, enter $80.00.
- Leave the Fixed pmt check box clear.
- Click the current date in the Due Date field
and select a date from the displayed calendar.
- For Payee, enter Corner Gas Station.
- For Address 1, enter 101 Main Street
- For Address 2, enter Miami, FL.
- Click Save. The
new data is stored in the database and is displayed in the data grid.
- Click Clear. The single-record layout is reset to initial values.
Lesson checkpoint
You learned how to complete the following tasks:
- Assign a preset string array as the set of values that are provided by a Dojo combo box.
- Use conversion functions if you need to relate a field of type INT to a Dojo combo box that contains strings.
- Use the Form Manager isValid and commit functions.
In the next lesson, you install Apache Tomcat on your system so that you can run your application on a web server.

Strong Play Gives Royals the Victory in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) - Jeremy Guthrie pitched seven strong innings, and David Lough hit a two-run homer to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night.
One day after being eliminated from the postseason, the Royals earned their 84th win, their most since 1993.
The Royals' 6-0 loss to Seattle on Wednesday, combined with victories from all three teams ahead of them in the AL wild-card standings, officially eliminated them from playoff contention.
Guthrie (15-12) became the Royals' third 15-game winner since 1997. He gave up two runs and four hits, striking out four and allowing one walk. Guthrie already surpassed his career best win total when he won his 12th on Aug. 5 against the Twins.
Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn hit solo homers for the White Sox, who have lost 21 of their 27. The White Sox are 35 games under .500 (62-97) for the first time since ending the 1970 season 56-106 and must win once in this series to avoid finishing with 100 losses, which would be the fourth-most in franchise history.

Honda has continued to attempt advanced walking-assist devices, though few have been as awkwardly displayed as the Honda Walking Assist Device with Stride Management.
Press Release:
When walking is a struggle, you need a leg up. And that's literally what Honda's prototype Stride Management Assist device is designed to provide. A motor helps lift each leg at the thigh as it moves forward and backward. This helps lengthen the user's stride, making it easier to cover
longer distances at a greater speed.
A lightweight, simple design with a belt worn around the hips and thighs was created to reduce the wearer's load and to fit different body shapes. More than 130 patents have been applied for pertaining to the walking assist devices, which are currently being tested in real-world conditions to evaluate their effectiveness. As a company that values mobility, Honda began research into a walking device in 1999. The cumulative study of human walking, along with research and development of technologies conducted for Honda's advanced humanoid robot, ASIMO, made these developments possible.

Manchester United confirm appointment of David Moyes on a six-year contract
Manchester United have confirmed the appointment of David Moyes as their new manager on a six-year contract.
Last Updated: 09/05/13 5:39pm
The 50-year-old will take charge at Old Trafford on July 1 after completing the season with Everton.
Moyes has the backing of Sir Alex Ferguson, who will retire at the end of the season, and his first official game will be the Community Shield against either Manchester City or Wigan at Wembley on August 11.
Moyes, who has spent 11 years with Everton, said: "It's a great honour to be asked to be the next manager of Manchester United.
"I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the football club.
"I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn't something that comes around very often and I'm really looking forward to taking up the post next season.
"I have had a terrific job at Everton, with a tremendous chairman and board of directors and a great set of players.
"Between now and the end of the season, I will do everything in my power to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table.
"Everton's fantastic fans have played a big part in making my years at Goodison so enjoyable and I thank them wholeheartedly for the support they have given me and the players.
"Everton will be close to me for the rest of my life."
Ferguson, who is stepping down as United manager after a near 27-year stint, said: "When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes, we unanimously agreed on David Moyes. David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic.
"I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of assistant manager here.
"He was a young man then at the start of his career and has since gone on to do a magnificent job at Everton.
"There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club."
Served wonderfully well
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright paid tribute to Moyes earlier on Thursday after it emerged that he would be leaving Goodison Park after 11 years at the helm.
He said: "I think, at the end of the day, David's contract is up in six weeks' time and he has a right to make his own decisions. He's served this club wonderfully well."
Moyes quickly emerged as the favourite to become United's boss after Sir Alex Ferguson announced he would be retiring, and received widespread support.
Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen revealed he would choose the Everton boss, saying: "What an act to follow. I guess only Mourinho would have the confidence to strut through the door. If it were me, I'd go for Moyes."
Former United keeper Peter Schmeichel also gave his backing to Moyes, saying: "When we talk about Moyes, he has been a decade at Everton and done a fantastic job on limited funds.
"Is he cut from the same cloth? I don't know. Don't forget there will be major changes with David Gill stepping down - the club is really changing in the summer, the more stability they can add the better.
"David Moyes, he sounds like a good solution."
United chief executive David Gill had previously outlined the qualities needed to succeed Ferguson as manager, saying: "The qualities are the ones that have been inherent at Manchester United for many years.
"Our two most successful eras were with managers who got involved with all aspects of the club, from the youth team to the first team, to get that degree of loyalty and understanding of the football club.
"Clearly he has to have the requisite football experience, both in terms of domestic and European experience. It is a small pool."
Everton, meanwhile, must start their search for a successor to Moyes, and Mark Hughes has refused to rule himself out of the running for the job.
"I think when one manager leaves there are opportunities for other managers who are currently out of work, which includes myself," Hughes told Sky Sports News.
"It's a great club; it's a club that I had the fortune to play for and really enjoyed my time there."

For years, primitive Earth beings have been destroying hordes of alien invaders, all in the name of interactive entertainment. THQ and Pandemic's latest puts the boot firmly on the other foot. Assume the alien mantle of 'Crypto' (full name Cryptosprodium-137), a scout for the invaders known as the Furons, who is undertaking reconnaissance and making initial preparations for conquering our planet, in this highly entertaining third-'person' adventure.
Your mission is to infiltrate the human populace, assume control of them, harvest their brain stems and, ultimately, destroy them. Armed with an array of intergalactic weaponry, including the Ion Detonator, the Zap-o-Matic, the Sonic Boom, and the Quantum Deconstructor, Crypto can exterminate, obliterate and disintegrate humans with shocking ease.
Should a more discreet approach be required, Crypto has a variety of other means by which to subdue and manipulate homo sapiens. He's able to hypnotise, mind-read, body snatch, and levitate the feeble earthlings. Should a less tactful approach be required, Cryo can always take to his UFO to wreak large-scale havoc on humankind's cities.
The game's conspiracy-laden plot is packed with popular sci-fi references, with regular nods to the likes of Men In Black and The Twilight Zone, making for one of the most entertaining alien invasions on PS2 to date.
