I got my copy on my doorstep the other day. I almost didn't want to open the box it seemed so surreal. And then of course I tore open the box and have been devouring it in every one of my spare minutes ;) It really is a fabulous book. The layout is lovely and so well organized. The pictures are beautiful. The instructions are easy to understand. All in all, a fabulous book!!!

Q: Find first term and common difference of Arithmetic Sequence, given two other terms The 7th and 11th terms of an arithmetic sequence are 7b + 5c and 11b + 9c respectively.
Given these i want to find the first term (term when n = 0) and the common difference. I tried a lot of techniques to solve this, but i end up in logical fallacies. The one thing i surely notice in this though is that the c coefficient is less than 2 from the b coefficient and that the coefficient of b agrees with the number of the term n. So i assume that this is the case with all the terms (maybe i'm wrong). Given the general form of the arithmetic sequence
\begin{equation}
a_{n} = a + nd
\end{equation}
how can i find a and d?
Could someone help, or give me a hint? Thanks in advance!

A: HINT....The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is $$a_n=a+(n-1)d$$
Therefore you have to solve simultaneously $$a+6d=7b+5c$$ $$a+10d=11b+9c$$

A: $$\frac{T_7-T_1}{T_{11}-T_7}=\frac64$$
Substituting values of $T_7, T_{11}$ and solving gives $T_1=b-c$ directly.

A: You know that $a_7 = 7b + 5c = a + 7d$ and $a_{11} = 11b + 9c = a + 11d$. Solving this system of equations, you will get $a = -2c$ and $d = b + c$.

My CD Has Been Released!
Originally posted on http://digitaldiatribes.wordpress.com on August 26, 2007.
May was spent not only opening up the camper, and not just planting the garden. As you all know (if you've followed the blog), a great deal of time was spent by me finishing up my CD. At least the music part of it. Having recorded the music and mixing it, and then re-recording and re-mixing, and re-re-mixing… ugh… the music was finally completed in mid-June to the point where I could declare that the project was finished.
Um, kind of. It was probably about two weeks before I completed the music that I realized, "um, I really should work on the actual CD cover and stuff that goes in the package." Yeah… smart move waiting until that point. Hey, I'm not a graphic designer. What do I know? Can't they just whip something up in a day, call it good, and move on?
Well, even if they could, there was another problem: I had no concept at all.
I tossed feelers out to different people. Any ideas? And inspiration was garnered through the process. Actuaries may seem uncreative, but clearly, that's a myth. Right? Who's with me on this?
The idea that stuck was to have the kids involved. They drew different drawings of what came to mind when they thought of God, or Jesus, or the Bible. I had them write out the song titles. The six year old got the cover. And so, armed with this concept, onward to the graphic designer. Eventually, we settled on a "scrapbook" kind of theme. And so, the CD eventually came to fruition. Title: Avant-God.
Yes, I have received it! This last week, the shipment arrived! And now, I am face to face with the reality that I have a CD with no distributor, no name recognition, no prior works, no band, and no sound system. Other than that, it's perfect!
OK, OK… no, I am not whining. I knew all that going in. Clearly, the impetus for this project was not fame and fortune. That said, now that I have a bunch of copies, it also makes no sense for me to sit around and not at least try to do anything with them.
And so, I do have them in a local Catholic book store. I am working on some promotional materials, slowly but surely. They currently are available at www.digstation.com/JoeTritz. Within the week, both downloads and CDs will be available for sale on CDBaby.com. Anyone can order directly from me for the moment by sending an e-mail at geezep@yahoo.com.
So, all that is great, but unless people actually know it's out there, they probably won't find it in any of those places. This is where I'm learning. But it will not happen through normal promotional channels. Let's face it. I'm an independent Catholic/Christian Rock guy. Not exactly the broadest of audiences. But I'm trying. I've contacted a few other places and once I have a web site up and running and promotional materials completed, I'll be better armed to give it a shot.
In the meantime, if anybody reading this knows someone that knows someone, let me know! Or if you would be so kind, check out the link above and listen to the 30 second clips. (Clips on CDBaby will be 2-minutes, os that will be better). If interested in buying, either do it in one of those places or let me know direct. And word of mouth is the only way to get anywhere with this, so if you enjoy it, let others know. I appreciate it.
But enough of the shameless groveling and self-promotion. Please understand that my goal never has been to be a promoter. It is not in my comfort level. I am just doing what i need to do. But the reward for me has already come. I guess from a financial standpoint, I wouldn't mind doing another project in the future, so I'm just hoping to get my money back so I can finance it, otherwise it probably will not happen. If that's the case, so be it. But if there is an alternative, then that is preferable.
And so, this is the most exciting part of my summer vacation. I'll keep you posted on the progress of everything here. Also, more camping and garden stories are sure to come! And our kitchen. And porch. And… how in the world did we fit all this in?

I love fashion plates. As I'll be discussing in the next episode of my podcast, problems can arise in interpreting them to get at the actual clothing worn at the time, but they can be extraordinary sources for understanding the sequences of high fashion - how and when changes happened. For the detailed timeline of fashion (and my dating of the garments themselves) in Regency Women's Dress, I pored over three decades of fashion plates in La Belle Assemblée, the Journal des Dames et des Modes, and Ackermann's Repository.
You might have noticed that I've stopped doing these - it just seemed like there wasn't very much interest in the MdM/CdM, which started in the late 1780s and went into the early 1790s at least. I've proposed publishing the GdM as a coffee-table book to editors and museums and have gotten no interest back, so I'd love to self-publish it. The Bunka Gakuen Library offered me a very good discounted rate for use of the images, but due to the volume it would still be a huge chunk of change. (Doing that is my most ridiculously high Patreon goal.) I'd Kickstart it, but I don't want to do that before we have 100% delivery on the results of the Dragonrose Historic Patterns Kickstarter, since I suspect a lot of people would be turned off by that. For now, these visual sources are available here.
I can't think of a real single favorite fabric I have, but I can say that the cotton madras check I used to make my "Clarissa" dress was a real winner!
The yellows were bright enough to be cheery, but not glaring, and the texture was buttery soft. I only wish that I had more to make a modern sundress with.
I don't mean to copy Demented Fairy, but hand-sewing really is the best tip for anyone, whether it's just basting layers together, doing binding or a piped seam, or making an entire pre-sewing-machine-period garment. You have much more control and can make much more subtle alterations on the go, without having to stop, unpick, and redo.
Another is tip is to learn to work with patterns from books, whether Janet Arnold's, Norah Waugh's, Carl Kohler's, or mine. The best thing is to use them to create custom pieces for yourself in order to get the smoothest fit (I have a tutorial on that!), but you can also take a cheap commercial pattern or a bodice block and alter it to look more like the historically accurate pattern shapes, shifting or adding seamlines and darts.
Third tip! It's worth it to pay more for the right fabric, or to choose to make what fits with the fabric you can afford - gowns made in cotton that should be silk, or a heavy quilting cotton that should be lightweight, don't hang the way they should. They don't feel quite right when you're wearing them. A few years ago I started buying silk (or a good substitute) when I needed it, and it makes a big difference.

text:
Tzvetan Todorov (bulgarisch , dt. Transkription Zwetan Todorow; * 1. März 1939 in Sofia; † 7. Februar 2017 in Paris) war ein bulgarisch-französischer Schriftsteller und Wissenschaftler. Seine Forschungstätigkeit lässt sich der Soziologie, Politik, Philosophie, Geschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Linguistik, Literaturwissenschaft und Semiotik zuordnen.

Leben
Todorov wanderte 1963 nach Frankreich aus und ging nach Paris, wo er 1970 promovierte. Er nahm die französische Staatsbürgerschaft an und verstand sich als Europäer. 1968 begann er seine Tätigkeit am Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in Paris, ab 1987 im Rang eines Directeur de recherche.

Indem Todorov Texte russischer Formalisten ins Französische übersetzte und in seinem Buch Théorie de la littérature 1965 in Frankreich herausgab, wurde er neben Julia Kristeva zum wichtigsten Vermittler russischer Literaturtheorie im französischen Strukturalismus.

In seinem Werk Einführung in die fantastische Literatur (1970) beschäftigt sich Tzvetan Todorov mit der Gattung der fantastischen Literatur. Todorovs Theorie ist der Ausgangspunkt fast aller seither aufgestellter Bestimmungsversuche des Fantastischen. Die deutschsprachige Diskussion zu diesem Genre ist erst durch Todorovs Buch initiiert worden.

Das Werk Die Eroberung Amerikas. Das Problem des Anderen (im Original erschienen 1982) behandelt die europäische Kolonisierung der Neuen Welt und das Phänomen der Alterität, das dem Westen half, die Kulturen Amerikas als Fremde zu markieren, um sie anschließend "entdecken" zu können. Todorov fragt, wie in den Diskursen der Entdeckung und Eroberung Modelle von Andersartigkeit entstanden sind und wie diese die Prozesse nationaler und kultureller Identität in Europa beeinflusst haben, also wie dadurch "unsere gegenwärtige Identität vorgezeichnet und begründet" wurde.

Todorovs Analyse der Anerkennung ist vor allem für die Anthropologie und Soziologie von Bedeutung. Er widerspricht darin Niccolò Machiavelli und Thomas Hobbes, die Gemeinschaft nur als notwendiges Übel ansähen, zu dem der Mensch aus Mangel heraus gezwungen sei. Todorov sieht die Gemeinschaft demgegenüber als ein Bedürfnis an. Dieses stütze sich auf den psychischen Wunsch nach Anerkennung. Diese Konzeption, den Wunsch nach Anerkennung als die zentrale Bedingung des menschlichen Miteinanders anzusehen, geht auf Lacans Psychoanalyse und Kojèves Interpretation Hegels zurück.

Gastprofessuren führten ihn an die New York University, Columbia University, Harvard University, Yale University und die University of California in Berkeley. Zudem war er ab 1998 Mitglied der American Philosophical Society und ab 2007 der American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Todorov war mit der aus Kanada stammenden Romanautorin Nancy Huston verheiratet.

2011-07-23 From the Metroon to #WikiLeaks: People, power and the archive #wlcat
Submitted by CassPF on Sat, 07/23/2011 - 13:58
What is an archive? What is its purpose? Has the kind of archive that has evolved in 20th and early 21st century Western civilisation remained consistent with the underlying principles of the contract struck between the people and the State in a democracy, whereby the State establishes the archive in part as a guarantee of its ability to carry out its actions in a fair and accountable way? WikiLeaks, embodying as it does a renegotiation of the boundaries of knowledge and power that exist between the citizenry and the State, has brought into sharp relief the unhelpful layers of bureaucracy and vested political interests that have blunted the power of the archive in society. Now, as technology permits us to sweep away many of the encumbrances of the paper based recordkeeping legacy, is it possible for the archive to reclaim its position at the heart of a healthy democracy?
The archive in the Greek city-state of Athens in about 400 BC was located in the Metroon, a temple situated by the courthouse in the centre of the city. This archive housed the law, contracts, diplomatic records, court proceedings, and other records – even archiving the day's art forms such as the plays of Sophocles and others. These were the raw materials of the first democracy, and they were open to any private citizen to access and make copies. The archive was watched over by the magistrate, or 'archon', hence our word 'archive'. This indicates the extent to which the archive related directly to the law; the archive was the law, it provided the foundation from which power in society was wielded. And the people (of the right class and education) could access records from this trusted repository without intermediaries, either physical or administrative, to understand for themselves how their government was operating.
In his seminal work Archive Fever (1996), French philosopher Jacques Derrida references the role of the archon in his exploration of the role and purpose of the archive, arguing that it is through control of the archive that political power is exerted. His argument is, in part, that "Effective democratisation can always be measured by this essential criterion: the participation in and the access to the archive, its constitution, and its interpretation." The centrality of the archive to the use and abuse of power has been well illustrated in the meticulous record keeping practices of repressive regimes from the East German Stasi to the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Once the regime falls, the archives are opened and become a powerful resource for those who have suffered injustices to seek redress or simply to understand.
However despite this understanding of the vital importance of the archive to a just and well managed society, it could be argued that public archives today have failed to uphold the qualities which put the Metroon at the very heart of Athenian life. A variety of factors including the massive quantities of paper based records generated from the second half of the twentieth century, a lack of adequate technologies to identify and capture records of significance, a separation of the record keeping process and the archive, and laws and practices favouring secrecy have left government archives too often as the passive recipients of records that are long removed from the business to which they relate, impotent and relegated to the category of historical curios.
By contrast, WikiLeaks shows us how an archive can be formed and pluralised directly from the affairs the records document and thus serve a powerful purpose in society. Take, for example, a WikiLeaks archive such as the United States diplomatic cables, and compare it with a typical records release by a government archive, the National Archives of Australia's 1980 Cabinet papers release. These records were released on January 1, 2011 under the normal '30 year rule' which is the default position for opening public records up for general public access in many Western jurisdictions (recently amended by law to 20 years for Federal Government records in Australia under the Commonwealth Archives Act 1983). January 1 is usually a slow news day, so the Cabinet papers provided a useful filler for the media, with folksy and nostalgic stories from the political machinations of 1980. By contrast, just over one month earlier, on November 28, 2010, WikiLeaks began publishing over 250,000 United States embassy cables. The documents give the world an unprecedented insight into the US government's foreign policy and actions in almost every corner of the globe. Significant flow on effects from the cable releases have been felt in the Arab world, in post tsunami Japan and in South East Asia, giving people the information they had been lacking to understand and address administrative and political wrongs.
An archive, as understood by the Greeks, is a tangible and irrevocable symbol of the fragile bonds of trust between the powerful and the weak. In a society in which the role of the archive is marginalised or in which malign political influence is exerted on its formation, that trust is broken. Archives which do not capture and provide ready access to the records that form our laws, our rights and our memory are not fulfilling their purpose. WikiLeaks has shown us how it could be; where using technology we are able to draw out and exclude that information which must be kept secret to protect the privacy of the vulnerable, while the vast majority of records of the acts, agreements and events which are actually occurring in our society are made part of the people's archive and are widely disseminated to the people directly from their participation in those acts. This should be the new (from the old) model for our archives.
Encouragingly, projects like the Committee to Document the 25th January Revolution in Egypt, set up by the Egyptian National Archives, have understood the need for more contemporary and relevant archives. This project is about gathering as much primary evidence about the revolution as possible for deposit in the archives and release online – including official records, insurrectionary pamphlets, multimedia footage, Facebook and Twitter content. Importantly, there is an understanding from the start that all material should be publicly accessible to anyone on the Internet. It is a significant step in the Egyptian transition to a freer and more civilised society, and away from the abuses of the dictatorship. The power balance between people and State being redressed. The historian in charge of the project, Khaled Fahmy, has indeed spoken of the project in a manner which evokes Derrida's thesis, saying ""The question of access to information and archives is political, because reading history is interpreting history, and interpreting history is one way of making it. Closing people off from the sources of their own history is an inherently political gesture, and equally opening that up is a political – even revolutionary – act."
WikiLeaks opens governments. This was the role of the Athenian archive, the Metroon. It should be the role of the contemporary archive; not to serve as a gatekeeper waiting for decades before making the raw materials of history available to us in piecemeal form, but rather as the trusted guardian and provider of timely, useable evidence, the use of which will allow us to steer an honest course for our society.

Khaled Fahmy

Just a quick note to rectify an error in the above. The link to a Twitter account for Khaled Fahmy is not the right Khaled Fahmy (although he looks like a very interesting guy). The actual Khaled Fahmy, Professor of History and Chair of the Department of the American University in Cairo University, isn't on Twitter.
Here's an excerpt from an excellent article & interview with the *real* Khaled Fahmy in which he talks about his work:
"Khaled Fahmy, chair of the American University in Cairo's history department, heads the group, called the Committee to Document the 25th of January Revolution. By making all the materials available online, he and his collaborators also hope to offer a new model of an official historical archive, one that emphasizes public access rather than government control."

Nice essay Cass, here is my opinion.

The very existence of archives is implicit recognition of the human tendency to abuse power. What has amazed many is the parallel tendency of all power structures to maintain archives. In fact there appears a one hundred percent correlation between the repressiveness of regimes and the amount of detail in their archives. It would seem that greater effort at control and repression requires some greater historical justification. Also, since the most horrific attempts at governance have been dogmatic in nature, this also reflects obsessive compulsive disorders on a group or nation scale.
Archives may be important to provide historical perspective, however, they suffer from two fatal flaws.
-As the author alluded, they are subject to 'selective release', and therefore only reflect the bias of that authority releasing.
-Archives also suffer from hindsight. This is a very human flaw. The American Civil War is still fresh in the minds of many after one hundred and fifty years. Slavery is still a psychic wound in the minds of some Black Americans (The term "African American" demonstrates how fresh, and how important). In the Balkans, in Afghanistan, in South Africa, and the Middle East, the tribal memories are much longer. While some of these 'archives' may exist only as a story telling tradition, they are none the less powerful. In search of reference points humans inevitable turn to past experience. Since we recognize the imperfection of memory, we often turn to archival material without admitting that it may be just as imperfect.
Perhaps reliance on archival material dooms us to repeat the mistakes of the past. Certainly, there is no evidence to suggest that archives have prevented repetition. We appear to be stuck in some cosmic 'Do Loop', and the existence of archives is a conservative rather than a progressive aspect. Archives are often aplauded as evidentiary materials to support retribution for excesses.
Thus the twin pillars of Archivist records; justification and retribution, are a sum negative for the effort expended. Humans need to develop a more forward looking and less punitive mindset. We may be capable of this. The South African, "Truth and reconciliation commissions" may be a first step in our evolution.
In praise of WikiLeaks, they may have an agenda, but their function is expository rather than punative and justificatory. The internet era has reduced the grip of secrecy on our civilization. Now we just need to learn logic to sort fact from fiction.
Archives and power
Submitted by emirjame (not verified) on Mon, 07/25/2011 - 12:07.
I agree with you Paul that there is a connection between archives and power, but having seen many detailed archives of 'good' organizations (medical records, housing records, archives of architects and engineers) I disagree that that is by definition a bad thing. In my opinion secret archives is the scary one and then the scary part comes from the secrecy.
And don't forget: there also exist very violent movements without any archive at all (wars in Rwanda, gangs in the USA)
Submitted by CassPF on Sat, 07/23/2011 - 23:15.
Thanks for the comment - and raising some really important and interesting points. I agree with pretty much all of them. Decisions about what to keep in - and what to release from - an archive are made in the context of the politics and interests of the day, not always benign. And if recordkeeping is used a tool of abuse, does the fact that those records can then give victims power later make it all ok?
As you mention, the expository nature of the WikiLeaks archives is part of what makes them so interesting as an alternative. Instead of the appraisal and access frameworks taking many interests into account that archivists use, they have a single, simple criterion; a promise to the whistleblower. Arguably this is the purest form of archive that you can create.
If you are interested in this stuff and in the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, read Verne Harris. In his article cited above he quotes the words of Mandela when he opened the South African Centre for Memory and Dialogue: "We want it to dedicate itself to the recovery of memories and stories suppressed by power. That is the call of justice."
@ CassPF Love your article &
@ CassPF Love your article & will definitely read Verne Harris. So glad there are more archives professionals that support Wikileaks (it IS a bit of a daring thing to do!)!!

A group of Harvard Medical School students are schooling the Internet on anatomical functions with a hilarious music video parody of the viral hit "The Fox."
Set to the tune of the mega-popular song by Ylvis, the students address a common question to which almost know one knows the answer: What does the spleen do?
Sure, lungs help you breathe, kidneys do the filtering and the heart pumps blood throughout the body, but the spleen's functionality isn't as well known as those of its anatomical neighbors. Not only are we treated to some dancing body parts — in line with the choreography of the original "The Fox" — we learn the spleen has big blue veins, that it's kind of shaped like Brazil ... and, most importantly, what it does. Watch the video above to find out.
You'll be ready for your anatomy exam in no time.

Q: How can I create a slice object for Numpy array? I've tried to find a neat solution to this, but I'm slicing several 2D arrays of the same shape in the same manner. I've tidied it up as much as I can by defining a list containing the 'x,y' center e.g. cpix = [161, 134]  What I'd like to do is instead of having to write out the slice three times like so:
a1 = array1[cpix[1]-50:cpix[1]+50, cpix[0]-50:cpix[0]+50]
a2 = array2[cpix[1]-50:cpix[1]+50, cpix[0]-50:cpix[0]+50]
a3 = array3[cpix[1]-50:cpix[1]+50, cpix[0]-50:cpix[0]+50]

is just have something predefined (like maybe a mask?) so I can just do a
a1 = array1[predefined_2dslice]
a2 = array2[predefined_2dslice]
a3 = array3[predefined_2dslice]

Is this something that numpy supports?

A: Yes you can use numpy.s_:
Example:
>>> a = np.arange(10).reshape(2, 5)
>>>
>>> m = np.s_[0:2, 3:4]
>>>
>>> a[m]
array([[3],
       [8]])

And in this case:
my_slice = np.s_[cpix[1]-50:cpix[1]+50, cpix[0]-50:cpix[0]+50]

a1 = array1[my_slice]
a2 = array2[my_slice]
a3 = array3[my_slice]

You can also use numpy.r_ in order to translates slice objects to concatenation along the first axis.

A: You can index a multidimensional array by using a tuple of slice objects.
window = slice(col_start, col_stop), slice(row_start, row_stop)
a1 = array1[window]
a2 = array2[window]

This is not specific to numpy and is simply how subscription/slicing syntax works in python.
class mock_array:
    def __getitem__(self, key):
        print(key)
m = mock_array()
m[1:3, 7:9] # prints tuple(slice(1, 3, None), slice(7, 9, None))

Angie Cason and Jasper Price of Shreveport, Louisiana are about as big of Harry Potter fans as you could get. They've been hosting Potter-themed parties at their home since 2000. So, naturally, over the years they've collected some serious swag and memorabilia. And when it became too much, they had a better plan than just stuffing them into the attic.
The couple filled their dining room-turned-reading room with all of their magical goodies, including ones that even Price, an artist and illustrator, made himself. "We made flying, divination teacups, Cornish pixies and mandrakes out of paper clay," Cason told TODAY Home. After the space was finished in December it was pure perfection. See it for yourself muggles.

"The Quidditch case and the Monster Book of Monsters are my favorite pieces in the collection because Jasper made those for me by hand… That was hours of painting, hours of sculpting with paper clay, and just a whole lot of love put into those pieces," says Cason.
This room is spared no expense or detail; from the stained glass decal to spellbook covers stuck onto old books to unique wand boxes, this space has it all. The couple now uses it for community and family events. Even when their loved ones think they couldn't possibly get them something Potterish that they don't have, the couple tells them otherwise. "I always tell them that's not true," says Cason. "There's so much left to collect, but we'll keep working on it."
And we would like to know when we can move in, thanks.

IPYS condemns change in law that classifies national security information in Peru
By Silvia Higuera
The Institute for Press and Society, IPYS, described a recent change in the legislative decree that regulates the National Defense System as a "serious attack" on the right to access information, freedom of expression and transparency.
The government of Peru enacted on Dec. 7 an article that indefinitely classifies all information related to national security and defense as a state secret, and establishes a punishment of up to 15 years in prison for anyone who breaks it.
For IPYS, the change in the law is an attack on the Transparency and Information Access Law, as well as on several other international treaties. IPYS' attorney, Roberto Pereira, said that "this is a mistake that throws us back to the Fujimori era, in which everything was classified and nothing could be known," reported the daily La República. The organization called the Peruvian government to amend the change.
Some of the country's legislators have called the decree unconstitutional. "You can't enact laws against journalism," told congressman Luis Iberico to Perú 21. In light of the controversy, the Peruvian Congress' Constitutional Committee said it will review the 12 decrees enacted on the matter to determine if any of them are in fact inconstitutional, Perú 21 reported.
On Dec. 12, newspaper La República called the change in law a serious ban, not only because of the impact on the right to access public information, but also because of its relevance in the fight against corruption. In an editorial, the newspaper argued that reports written in the last 20 years denouncing crooked military purchases have helped prevent the squandering of government resources.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO ADRIAN
In my post COMPLETE INCOMPETENCE and MUCH TO WEEP ABOUT, I recount the words of Fr. Jeff San Nicolas regarding the FD chapel name change:
"On Thursday, July 9th I talked to him (Apuron) about why renaming the chapel would be problematic. He reassured me that he understood the issue and that it is not his intention to rename the chapel. The archbishop told me that he had talked to Fr. Adrian about this problem but for some reason it was not immediately resolved. He assured me that it would be corrected."
I then noted two problems:
1. Apuron said it was "not his intention to rename the chapel", though on July 5, Apuron published the following in the U Matuna:
In virtue of canon 1223 of the Code of Canon Law and by reason of my authority as Archbishop of Agaña, I hereby erect the PÅLE' JESUS BAZA DUEÑAS ORATORY at the Father Dueñas Memorial School in Ta'i, Mangilao....This instrument revokes the previous decree, Protocol Number 2014-022, formerly establishing the 'Boys Chapel'.
2. Apuron "talked to Fr. Adrian about this problem but for some reason it was not immediately resolved."
Both of these problems point to a single red flag: APURON IS NOT IN CHARGE.
Now, we already know this, but most of us are still scratching our heads over why Apuron would so docilely let Adrian run things - even forcing Apuron to sign a decree against his will as evidenced by the above!
Up till now, I have allowed for two possibilities: 1) Apuron is mentally ill; 2) Gennarini and Pius are pulling all the strings and Adrian is their puppet.
However, I have never really believed that Apuron was mentally ill (I only permitted that out of charity), and the Gennarini-Pius puppet master scenario, while true, did not seem complete.
Adrian (for a variety of reasons including his history) is vicious and vindictive. The docile puppet role did not quite fit him. He seems to be much more in charge.
But because I could not figure out how Adrian could get Apuron to obey him like a well-trained dog (sorry if you're offended by that, but what else can we surmise when Apuron says it was "not his intention" yet he signs a decree with that exact intention), I had to figure that Adrian's power over Apuron came from his alliance with Gennarini and Pius, two people we know that Apuron submits to.
However, I received a bit of intel a couple weeks ago that makes the pieces fit better. And it also sheds more light on Apuron's threat to John Toves.
As I've share before, threatening Toves makes no sense. He was already written off as a nut case; the media had stopped paying attention to him; and it was quite clear that no "victim" was going to come forward.
So why the threat to Toves?
Well, let's back up to the intel I received.
The intel suggests (alleges, actually) that Adrian has the "dirt" on Apuron. And being that Apuron is "short," Adrian formed an alliance with Gennarini and Pius and used the "dirt" to shove Apuron out of the way so Adrian could set himself up as the next bishop - permitting the NCW to remain in power on Guam for a very long time.
In fact, the intel suggests even more. It suggests that Adrian's "dirt" on Apuron was used to blackmail Apuron into permitting the NCW to come to Guam and set up shop in the first place.
It was a perfect storm.
The NCW needed a bishop they could control in order to manufacture their presbyters which they could peddle to bishops worldwide in order to buy influence. Adrian - as per the intel - with his "dirt" on Apuron, offered Guam - which had the added benefit of a mostly unquestioning and non-confrontational laity who were conditioned to welcoming foreign clergy and coughing up big bucks.
The informant believes that Apuron's passing over Adrian but raising two of his contemporaries (Quitugua the VG and Benavente) to the "rank" of Monsignor, was Apuron's way of getting back at Adrian.
As we know, Adrian soon left Guam for a multi-year hiatus under the guise of going "on mission". However, the fact that Adrian was immediately appointed to the position of Chancellor upon his return, points to the continuation of the original Gennarini-Pius-Adrian scheme to sideline Apuron and run things through Adrian, setting him up to be the next bishop so that the NCW could continue unabated.
This explains why Apuron is simply a rubber stamp for Adrian's ugly designs. All roads lead to Adrian. And Apuron's amazing admission that he did not intend to sign the decree changing the name of the FD chapel, and that he would have to check with Adrian tells us all we need to know.
But back to Toves.
Though it makes no sense for Apuron to try to legally shut Toves up, it makes complete sense for Adrian to do it. And just as we now know that Apuron did not author the decree to change the name of the chapel and that Adrian did, we can be just as sure that Apuron did not order the threat on Toves...and that Adrian did.
But NOT to shut Toves up. It was to shut Apuron up.
Adrian knows that Apuron does not want to be deposed. Adrian also knows that John Toves is the last person who will be shut up by a threat. The idea was to "get the dog barking" loud enough again so that Apuron would stay in his hole where he would be made to continue to sign the letters and decrees Adrian obviously (and now prove-ably) writes.
Toves has released a letter telling Apuron to come and get him and has also continued his allegations via You Tube and his Facebook page. He apparently also intends to make the allegations in writing complete with names and send copies to the media.
Thus Adrian - with Toves' help - has Apuron exactly where he wants him: checkmate.
If Apuron proceeds with legal action against Toves, Apuron will be deposed and he knows he can't let that happen. If he does nothing - now that he has threatened action - then he will be seen as a coward or even guilty.
Apuron's only course of action now is to let Adrian have his way. And the revision of the diocesan statutes is Adrian's next move - signed by Apuron of course.
There are those who believe I make too many assumptions. However, all my "assumptions" have turned out to be proved true.
In the Fr. Paul case, I had "assumed" that there was an ulterior motive for his removal. This was proved true when we found out that Apuron had permitted the same man he accused of being a danger to Fr. Paul's parish to work in the same parish in the same capacity 13 years earlier.
In the Msgr. James case, I had "assumed" an ulterior motive and I was proved correct when all of the allegations against Msgr. James were refuted by financial professionals and the archbishop admitted (privately) that he did not know if the allegations were true.
In the RMS scam, long before the secretly recorded deed was discovered, I filled this blog with "assumptions" about the scam which of course were proved true when the deed was discovered and an opinion of counsel on the legal status of the property was obtained.
In the Aaron Quitugua saga I had "assumed" that there was an ulterior motive for not permitting Aaron to study at a legitimate diocesan seminary. My assumption was proved true when it was discovered that - in the words of Adrian - "In the Archdiocese of Agana, the diocesan priesthood is no more. There is only the Neocatechumenal Way."
In the FD chapel renaming scam, I told Fr. Jeff point blank that he had been lied to. Fr. Jeff then told me I make too many assumptions. I don't fault Fr. Jeff for that. By nature he wants to think the best of everyone. But to this day, the promised "fix" for the name of the FD chapel has never materialized, despite Adrian telling Fr. Jeff that it would be.
Shall I go on?
All roads lead to Adrian. Let's make sure all eyes lead to him too.
P.P.S
This also explains why Apuron appears clueless whenever he is asked about the division he is causing, and why he continues to blame Rome for not being able to do anything. He really can't do anything, but it's not because of Rome.

Adrian has always been an evil man with his own agenda. But Apuron was told to get rid of Adrian and the VG - replace them with trustworthy advisors. He failed to do so, and so the evil saga of Adrian the Evil Puppeteer continues. Everyone suspected for a long time that Adrian knew something and was using it to his advantage. If this deceitful, scheming man could outright lie to the Nuncio and the Apostolic Delegation, then nothing will stop him from doing further harm to anyone. He wants to wear that mitre and will do anything and everything to get it. He takes advantage of that "white collar". Beware Archbishop. Your right hand man is the cause of your downfall.

Since John Toves has dirt on Adrian, Tim maybe now you should let John publish that incriminating photo on your blog. Maybe Adrian should have a taste for his own medicine.
If the NCW has manipulated, exploited, threatened and pushed Apuron aside, then why does he continue to sing the praises of the "Way?" Except for money and trips to Kiko's place in Israel I don't see what he gets out of it. Wouldn't just being left a powerless figurehead be humiliating and painful?
Tim Rohr August 12, 2015 at 10:35 PM
That's the danger of being a narcissist.

How does a conniver like adrian ever become a priest? We are done for if he succeeds the arch. I always suspected someone had the goods on the arch to make him bend to the NCW will. What an insidious group the leaders of the NCW are! Thank you, Tim, for keeping us informed.
Eileen Benavente-Blas
Cristobal is NOT clever enough to have thought up this conspiracy. Not nearly. Apuron not the only puppet here. The arrow points somewhere else. Apuron and Cristobal dummies at best. Being seriously controlled every step of the way. And Rome just watching it play out. And Rome very much supporting NCW. Sad, sad, sad.
True. Gennarini is still the mastermind. But Adrian is no mindless puppet. He's an evil opportunist who is eaten out from the inside by his not ever becoming the "golden boy."
Well, then, we best be looking at Plan C (exposing Cristobal for what he truly is) and getting ALL the goods on him and laying it out for all to see. Surely someone knows/has pics...for sure, for sure! Otherwise, our Catholicism passed onto us by our sainas will be lost forever should Cristobal succeed AAA. Teneki måkpo' Guam! Biba Katoliku!

@anon 11:36 : no one can take your Catholicism away from you except by your allowing it. the saints and martyrs through the ages have taught us as much. it's still august 10th here where i'm at, the feast of st lawrence. he allowed no one to take the faith away from him. pray that we all have the courage to do the same. fortes in fide.
While we can hold on to faith individually, the Church in locations has been historically wiped away by heresies and God abandoning them "to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired." Rom 1:24

During Adrian's high school days at FD, he was always picked on by his classmates. I recall those days when they would tease him behind his back.
Now that Adrian is a priest, he is taking advantage of his position and the situation to advance himself to higher chair! I personally think that Adrian is doing all this to get back at all the prople that made fun of him during the yesteryears!
Now that his plan has been exposed, this will only make him angrier!
I wonder what Adrian's next move will be?
Aside from the obvious, what are reasons Adrian did not become Monsignor?? Anyone know? Good thing Pope did away with this rank if this is the jealousy it creates.
Tim Rohr August 11, 2015 at 1:33 PM
the reason i stated above
eileenbb August 11, 2015 at 4:25 PM
I don't know this adrian but he appears to be unfit as a spiritual leader. His ambitions seem more secular than spiritual. If he is the role model for the RMS seminarians more bad things will result.
Could it be that since Toves and Adrian knew each other during their seminary days, Adrian also knows the details about the allegations brought out by Toves against Apuron? Didn't Toves state at one point that the other seminarians knew about the accusation? Could this be the dirt Adrian is using to blackmail Apuron? If so, Adrian really needs Toves to shut up about Apuron because if Toves exposes Apuron, then Adrian can no longer use this dirt for his blackmail scheme. So am I even close Tim, or way way off?
Adrian most definitely knows it. In fact, it's hard to find someone in the clergy who doesn't know it. In fact the hardest thing for me is to accept how much everyone seems to know about everything but don't want to say anything. Reminds me of the MAD policy on the Cold War: Mutually Assured Destruction. Nobody talks because everybody has something on everybody. Pretty frustrating. If I was getting paid to do this is have quit long ago.
Anonymous 5:16 pm and Tim, So why would Adrian pressure Apuron to have his lawyer threaten Toves? Because if there is a court case and all is revealed, then what would Adrian have to hold over Apuron then? I would think Adrian would want Toves to keep quiet so Adrian could keep holding the threat of exposure over Apuron as a backup plan. And wouldn't things come out about Adrian also?
Tim Rohr August 12, 2015 at 3:57 AM
1. Adrian did not need to pressure Apuron. He just made Apuron sign the letter to the attorney.
2. There's not going to be a court case because there was no intention to follow through.
3. The idea was to checkmate Apuron with Toves' help.
again!
now we know who Diana is!!! lol omg she is a man.... lol Adrian you sly dog..... do you dress the part also??? omg I can't wait to let my neo friend know their leader is a (her) in the virtual space he's probably scared to come out of the closet afraid apuron would have some dirt on him... Adrian no wonder why you look so beautiful when yor mad... you have the hormones of Marilyn Manroe... oh well atleast we know now when Adrian is upset give him some chocolate, lol it's that time of the month. aye Adrian.
again from Diana
I received a comment saying that Tim Rohr did refute my statement. Apparently, the anonymous commenter above copied and pasted only a part of Tim Rohr's statement. Tim Rohr further stated on his blog:
"As for Apuron putting in the NCW after Cottman pounded her fist on the table, he certainly could have. But Apuron doesn't call the shots in the Archdiocese. Gennarini and Pius do. And they are much smarter than Apuron. They know they have to sneak in the NCW lest we detect their evil intent."
My response to this is........OH REALLY?? If it was Father Pius and Gennarini who call all the shots, then whose decision was it to put Father Bien (a "non-Neo" priest) to replace Father Paul on July 17th, which is the very next day AFTER Father Paul was removed????????
If the goal was to install the NCW into the Dededo parish, and Father Pius and Gennarini call all the shots as Tim Rohr claimed, then why didn't they take the opportunity to replace Father Paul with an RMS priest? That would have been the smart move. In fact, that would have been the golden opportunity to "sneak in the NCW."
well I tried to comment but I guess the ncw can't handle the truth
the word (SNEAK) is exactly what they did of course they didn't take the opportunity at first because it would have been an obvious decision that is why they waited until later to replace the position with a neo presbyter with the ideal that no one would notice. sneaky yes cmon you know better than I do that this is all a plot for something greater not for the benefit of others but for the leaders of the ncw... why is the ncw being fully funded while the schools shut down, and we don't see any of that money being contributed to a cause? better yet no transparency? and why is it evertime something happens in the church someone has to be blamed for it? and you don't see any of the church leaders taking any responsibility for their actions, like Adrian? or quitagua? or apuron? lol is the ncw that low, that it will take an incredible priest and publicly humiliate him and throw aside as if he were a piece of rag? you speak highly on this blog about the great thing the ncw has to offer but that's a practice we don't see publicly in church or out of church. I bet you won't even post this comment here your to afraid to let these people see the truth about what destruction the ncw has caused the families and the relationship between friends better yet the financial well-being for both the church and families that have sacrificed there hard earned money to contribute for a cause for something greater than a profit and here on your blog you talk about doing great thing when all we see is people being told to sign over their inheritance if they love god... not know that it's going to leave their family devastated financially. if you are that great have apuron meet with the CCOG publicly or is the ncw to great to do the right thing? have apuron bring this to and end or does the ncw have to much to lose? call your leader archbishop Anthony apuron and tell him to bring unity to the church or is that not what the ncw wants?
DIANA SAYS: If the goal was to install the NCW into the Dededo parish, and Father Pius and Gennarini call all the shots as Tim Rohr claimed, then why didn't they take the opportunity to replace Father Paul with an RMS priest? That would have been the smart move. In fact, that would have been the golden opportunity to "sneak in the NCW."
How are you going to "sneak in the NCW" by putting in an RMS priest? That's a contradiction in terms since RMS priest = NCW. But then that's Diana. Stupid.
Sneaky devils. LOL
right either way which is why we shared it because Diana "Adrian" would ask that stupid question knowing there is an rms even if back then they didn't take the opportunity knew they were going to get it in somehow.
DianaAugust 12, 2015 at 1:39 PM
Dear Anonymous at 11:02 am,
The Archbishop does not need to SNEAK any priest. He already have the authority to put in any priest he wants in the Dededo parish. If it was his intention to put in an RMS priest at Santa Barbara Church, he did not need to sneak one in. He would simply do it.
my response:
right that's exactly the contradiction because you knew the ncw doesn't have to try because the plot has already been set to demolish the church. and your doing a good job might I add. but it's contradicting because you said tim was wrong about Pius and Gennarini well somehow some way right it happened so tim was not wrong it may have not been exact but it did happen. yeah if it were tony's intension but it did have to start with fr. paul didn't it he was the obstacle, but why fire him? I still don't understand that and that's a big why... why couldn't they just transfered him? put him on suspend him or something but not fire the guy all that practice thrown away in one day. tony should know that...he must feel like a king? he had now remorse for the poor guy, and is that what the ncw is all about beating up priests ?
also found on Diana's blog
§ 1. The pastor/parish priest and the presbyters carry out the pastoral care (see c. 519 CIC) of those who go through the Neocatechumenal Way – also in the light of what is indicated in art. 5 §2 and 6 §2 – and exercise "in persona Christi capitis" their priestly ministry by announcing the Word of God, administering the sacraments and, as far as possible, presiding over the celebrations of the first or of other neocatechumenal communities in the parish.
the word presbyter is another word for pastor which is the term used in the protestant church because a pastor in the protestant church is a person/priest in this matter can wed and have children, with the privilege of pastoring that flock in which serves. doesn't sound catholic to me...
Yes, notice how it says the parish priest AND the presbyters (because they are not always priests). Again, a repost from the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship"
"Prominent among the problems is the decision of the translators to break with common Catholic usage and translate the Latin "presbyteri" into English not with "priests" but with "presbyters". This cannot meet with the Holy See's consent since it risks being misunderstood by the people and represents an unacceptable theological tendency. In particular it constitutes a retreat from a term that carries a sense of sacrality, that carries with it the history of the development of the faith in favor of a term which does not."
http://www.adoremus.org/98-01_cdwletter.htm
The presbyter in Agat denied Mass and burial services on a Saturday to an Agat resident who lived there for over 50 years. Reason given is that it's the Neos' day of worship. This policy started with Barrigada. Can't believe the people Agat can continue putting up with this Neo BULLSHIT.
You bring up a good point. The bottom line is that the Neo's are overrunning the parishes because in fact the people are willing to put up with their BULLSHIT. So long as that is the case then there is nothing Rome, or the CCOG, or I can do about any of this. So long as the local people are afraid to do anything, the Neo's will conquer.
Meanwhile, I would like for someone to give me something in writing and signed by the person who heard it, the reason this idiot presbyter gave for not permitting the funeral on Saturday.
Can you get that for me.
so their product now isn't valid because they are ordained as priest but call them presbyters, right? and that's to solidify their priesthood with us the obligated?
Sorry, I didn't get that. Can you please rewrite.
lol sorry so they are ordained priest on paper? what im asking is it really doesn't state on paper weather they are priest or presbyter right? or wrong?
rey d August 12, 2015 at 3:59 PM
unsubstantiated and uncorroborated stories from anonymous people are exactly why the neocats continue to thrive on the island.
yeah, people know it's bullshit, but by acquiescing, they're telling the kikobots that it really doesn't bother them all that much. quiet whisperings won't get you very far. the kikobots know this, and, as tim noted above, they've been taking full advantage of it for years.
@anon 2:55, please provide proof. if you don't wish to publicize it on the blog, at least email tim.
so how did this story turn out? did the 'presbyter in agat' postpone the Mass and burial services to some other day? or did the family just go elsewhere?
i don't know if it violates canon law, but i do know that denial of a Christian burial without just cause is, at the very least, uncharitable and unpastoral.
stop the money. start going to a non-neocat parish. practice your faith more strongly. document the wrongs and speak out against them.
The reason I want it in writing is for further proof that the Neo's are not Catholic and maybe not even Catholic. Sunday is the Christian day of worship. Mass after sundown on Saturday evening is considered Sunday. So if the presbyter said that Saturday during the day is the Neo's "day of worship", then we have proof that the Neo is not Catholic. That's what I want.
yep. if it's proven that the presbyter really said that, then even if the neocats deny that they believe saturday is their day of worship, it will still prove how badly educated their presbyters are.
Actually it will prove how WELL they are educated. They are educated in a DIFFERENT RELIGION, a religion which worships on Saturday.
3:51. I don't know what it says on "the paper" since I've never seen one. All I know is what the Vatican stated officially:
There has been several families told that they can't have their funeral masses on Saturday because they have baptism scheduled but, funerals masses usually are no later than 1PM. The families usually go to Piti. there is one scheduled for next week Saturday. Sad thing is the spouse is a choir director. She was even turned down in Santa Rita. I know that Alberto doesn't like to be questioned and leaves it up to the parish Secretary to tell the families. Sad, Sad.
adrians way of control when I read this comment on "DIANA's" blog I was hurt by the way our priests are being treated idk if this upsets you, but just goes to show that these men can't fend for themselves due to the oath they have taking. right now they are being taken advantage of and no one not even rome has something to say or do about this? this comment was posted by an anonymous person could be Adrian himself... but even if it were a member of the faith is this how people treat a priest? notice it says "DON'T THESE PRIESTS" plural with an (s) how that statement alone shows that the ncw has no respect for the catholic faith and uses the abuses the priests the were ordained catholic (not presbyter) are used as their personal punching bags. sad how you would see that and not see the ncw make fun of one of their own "presbyter/pastor".... and Adrian "DIANA" think he "SHE' is so smart all of this for personal gain? how low? how sad? how indecent? DECIDE AND TAKE ACTION PROTECT YOUR PRIEST, AND PROTECT OUR CHURCH...

Don't these priests ever obey the bishop? Hello! Didn't they make a promise of obedien when they were ordained? Fr Gofigan and Benavente needs to 'man-up' if they really are 'men' and obey! Perhaps they Are not men but just a bunch of wooosess.
FROM DIANA'S BLOG: "Don't these priests ever obey the bishop? Hello! Didn't they make a promise of obedien when they were ordained? Fr Gofigan and Benavente needs to 'man-up' if they really are 'men' and obey! Perhaps they Are not men but just a bunch of wooosess."
Fr. Paul did obey. Apuron gave him a choice to resign immediately OR face "a more arduous and painful closure to his assignment." Apuron gave him the choice and he chose the latter. Meanwhile, Apuron acted ILLEGALLY by removing Fr. Paul as pastor without the due process as prescribed in Canon Law. So it was Apuron who was DISOBEDIENT to the CHURCH.
In the Msgr. James case, Msgr. James DID OBEY. He was removed from his positions and ordered to St. Anthony's. Msgr. James is at St. Anthony. If Apuron had simply reassigned him there would have been no problem. But Apuron DID NOT just reassign him, he published - several times - a list of accusations against Msgr. James. Msgr. James has only asked for an opportunity to address those charges - which is his canonical right. Apuron didn't give it to him so Msgr. James filed an appeal to Rome - which is his canonical right. Once again, it was Apuron who was DISOBEDIENT to the CHURCH for denying a priest his canonical rights.
Actually friends, this goes back a bit further before the Neocatechumenal Way landed on Guam. It goes back to the first appointment of Adrian to the Carhedral Basilica as its rector. You all need to pay attention to when Adrian was moved from Maina okay. Remember who Adrian took over the Rector position at the Cathedral Basilica. It's since that time period that this blackmail began and remember friends, Adrian threatened the Archbishop to Ordain him because he was rejected by a unanimous vote at St. Joseph's College faculty of non-continuance. So friends, beware of this wolf in sheep's clothing. Indeed, many are called and the few who are chosen sometimes bullies.
rey d August 13, 2015 at 9:56 AM
so @anon 5:52, you're alleging that adrian's very own ordination was the result of his "dirt" on apuron?? i suppose anything's possible, from what we've seen happen the past two decades. and that's an even more serious allegation than introducing the ncw into the island. i don't remember, was adrian ordained by apuron?
Mary Lou Garcia-Pereda August 13, 2015 at 12:08 PM
rey d at 9:56 AM, AAA ordained Adrian Cristobal on 30 September 1989 according to the information provided by the U Matuna Si Yu'os.
St. Athanasius, pray for us!
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle …
@5:52 this seems to make a lot of sense. We can't know for certain, but would SEEM not the caliber for ordination. But that's not a concern during APURON's vast wasteland. Was with a couple of friends when we read this. They're aghast at the remote idea Cristobal would be ordained bishop. Won't happen, but he's doing plenty of harm without crosier.
Ok, trial run. Repeat a couple of time and see if it rings true:
His Excellency Adriana Cristobal, uhmmm, no.
Arch A Bishop Adriana Cristobal, uhmmmmmmmm, no.
Arch BEEEEEE SHUP Adriana Cristobal, uhmmmmmmmmm, no
Most Reverend Adriana Cristobal, uhmmmmmmmmmmmm, no
JUST DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT. AM I RIGHT? Adriana, you try it and see what you think? Oh, wait, you're doing it all the time, aren't you. EVEN in your sleep. Wow, that is sick.

We'll see, little anonymous worm. Use your name. Oxymoronic.
Hopefully Rome is being made aware that Adrian was determined to not be qualified for ordination. That might help keep him from being made bishop, neo or not.
Tim Rohr August 14, 2015 at 11:13 AM
If in fact, Adrian coerced or blackmailed Apuron into ordaining him then the validity of his orders is in question. In order for any sacrament to be valid, their must be right intention. If Apuron did not intend to ordain Adrian but only went through the motions then Adrian is not a priest and all the sacraments administered by him may also have to be questioned including all marriages, confessions, baptisms, etc.
I remember when John Toves came to Guam and was greeted at the chancery by Adrian. He refused to let John see AAA. Did AAA even know that John was there?

He did. I attended every mass including the Santa Barbara procession and the December 8 procession. I sat in the very front pews and walk by him outside of his bodyguards. He knew I was there and had his idiot NEOs as bodyguards to buffer him.
I did approach Vicar General Quitugua inside the cathedral and reached out to shake his hand at the alter. Talk about "a deer in headlights." Cowards and evil men...
So, Typhoon Toves, did you get the cold fish handshake of Quitugua? Weak shake of the cold, bony fingers. Inspiring. Something to remember.
Yes, weak shake of the cold, bony fingers. In addition to a "deer in headlights. I was sure he would wet himself. Pathetic, both of them.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Nearly a dozen New Mexico business leaders have written to the White House advocating that President Obama and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and quickly transition to clean energy using public, private and tribal lands.
One - David Melton, chief executive officer of Sacred Power Corp., - delivered the letter and the message in person.
Before Obama left on vacation, he met with people at various stops in the Midwest. Melton, who encountered the president in Iowa, says the letter urges the president to work more quickly with tribal, federal, state and private partners to create local jobs while protecting national treasures using solar power.
"You have no carbon dioxide, you have no fossil fuels that have to be dug up and processed, you have no nitrous oxide, you have no sulfur dioxide, you have no mercury. "
Switching to solar, Melton says, would be good for the environment and add thousands of jobs to New Mexico's rural economy through the entire development process.
"You have the job creation at the module level, at the inverter level - these are all large-scale manufacturing operations - at the integration level and then at the construction level. And then after that, the operation level."
The Interior Department is finalizing its plan for siting solar energy projects on public lands in six Western states. It has identified three study areas which encompass more than 100,000 acres as potential solar energy zones in New Mexico.
Information about the solar-energy zone locations is online at doi.gov.

It's Thursday again! This week for #3ThingsThursday I'm sharing three upcoming things I'm doing, that I'm nervous and excited for! (If that makes any sense.) Basically, they are things I've always wanted to do, but they're a little out of my comfort zone.
The second fearfully exciting thing I will be doing this year is speaking at #Shetalksyvr's Inaguaral event on Saturday March 07th at the Chandos Pattison Auditorium, in honor of International Women's day. This will be a day long TED style event boasting an inspirational line-up of women speakers with diverse career and educational backgrounds. Proceeds from the event will be going towards a scholarship at Simon Fraser University for an emerging female leader. I feel extremely honored to speak at the event, and I'm also looking forward to feeling uplifted, motivated, and inspired by the other speakers! I hope to see some of you there! This is also a great opportunity to network with other women! There will be swag bags, vendors, a photo booth and a lunch box is included in the ticket price! For more information you can check out Shetalksyvr.ca and you can also like their Facebook page for updates, and contests leading up to the big day.
The third thing I'm excited for this year is writing more. I am committing myself to contribute more articles in the lifestyle section on Vancity Buzz. As well, I will be writing for Cella, a new Canadian print magazine and some of my posts will be featured on other blogs and online publications! I'm so excited and ready to take on the challenge of sharing my voice on more platforms this year.
Are you stepping out of your comfort zone? Trying something new, or committing to something different this year? If so, I would love to hear about it!
PS. If you would like to share any three things on Thursdays you can join in by linking up with these three fabulous bloggers: The Write Balance, Pink Chai Living, and Laugh, Love, Mirch!
It makes me tear up reading about you tearing up visioning that finish line! 2015 is going to be a ROCK STAR year! You Glow Girl!
Love it when people take risks! It's the only way we grow, right?
Absolutely! Are you taking any new risks this year?
