Carlyle House is a historic mansion in Alexandria, Virginia, United States, built by Scottish merchant John Carlyle in 1751 to 1752 in the Georgian style.

It is situated in the city's Old Town at 121 North Fairfax Street between Cameron and King Street. To the west, the Gadsby's Tavern is found one block away and Christ Church is three blocks away. To the south, the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Shop is located three blocks away. To the east, Torpedo Factory Art Center and the Alexandria Archaeology Museum are located two blocks away.

The house, which is architecturally unique as the only stone 18th-century Palladian Revival style residence in Alexandria, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 and was restored in 1976.

Construction

Carlyle began the construction of his house in 1751, using indentured and slave labor. Carlyle house has two sets of stairs: The main stairs (wider) are located in the center of the house, they communicate the first floor with the second floor. The servant stairs (narrow) are located in the right side of the house and connect the ground floor with the first and second floor.

The house has two chimneys made in stone, they are the lungs of the house. The heat was obtained from the burning of charcoal and wood in the fireplaces; the heat ascended from the ground fireplaces to the fireplaces in the first and second floor, releasing the smoke to the exterior of the house and exchanging it with fresh air in the top of the chimney.

The doors were 6 foot 2 inches in order to keep more heat during winter time when the door were open. The nails used to construct the house were handmade by a blacksmith.

The house had space for entertaining, private, family and servant use. The house has 3 closets, two in the main chamber, possibly to keep dishes locked up, and were used by servants after asking the lady of the house the menu for the day and the correct dishes to use for serving. A third closet is located in the music room. John Carlyle also built a number of outbuildings for both household and business needs.

Carlyle or someone associated with the house's construction is believed to have sealed the body of a cat within the house's foundation for good luck, a custom that was prevalent in the British Isles and northern Europe.

Style
The home was built in stone in a mid-Georgian style, therefore has the following characteristics:

It is symmetrical and balanced with halls in the center of each storey, while the left and right side are copies of the other one from top to bottom; The right and left side has two windows, and two chimneys, one in each side of the house.

It has simple and bold details around the building and doors.

The front door has arch shape with bold molding and a bold keystone.

It has quoins at the corner of the building.

The house has a hipped roof, specifically a bonnet roof, also called reversed gambrel.

Storeys

The house is composed of a ground floor and two main floors. The halls are located in first and second floor, at the center of the house.

Ground floor

The kitchen, the servant stairs and the cellars are located on the right side of the ground floor or basement. The spinning room is located on the left side of the ground floor.  It has a back door that connects to the gardens.

First storey
The first floor contains the main or front door that separates the yard from the main hall, which is located in the center of the house. The main stairs are located at the back area of the hall, which also has a back door that communicate with the magnolia terrace, the back yard and the garden of the house. The left side of the floor is the more public side of the floor, in which the music room and the dining room are located. The right side of the floor (when seen from the front of the house) is the more private side of the house, in it is located the main chamber (John Carlyle's bedroom) and in front of it, John Carlyle's studio and the servants' stairs.

The visitors that came through the front door were received by a servant (Moses) at the main hall. During celebrations the hall was used as a dance hall, currently it displays a copy of the Fry-Jefferson map, painted by Peter Jefferson (Thomas Jefferson's father) and Joshua Fry on its wall.

The music room is located beside the main entrance, in this room Sarah Carlyle Fairfax (Sally) practiced the spinet songs that she and her mother learned when they received music lessons at Mount Vernon (George Washington's house and plantation).  The portrait of John's brother, George Carlyle, is located in this room. The color of the wallpaper is green. It has a fireplace.

The dining room is located next to the music room. It is preserved in its original form and looks as it would have appeared in the 1750s, as there were not many modifications in this area. The color of the wallpaper is blue, the details of the wood were handmade and the color of the walls and room were used to welcome and impress their guests. It also has a fireplace to warm up the room in winter. The portrait of William Carlyle (John Carlyle's father) is located in this room.

The main chamber was located in the right side of the house, beside the main door. It belonged at the time to John Carlyle and his wife Sarah Fairfax. The two windows in the bedroom faced the front of the street. It has a portrait of his mother, Rachel Murray Carlyle (painted when she was in her twenties), which was located in front of their bed and above the fireplace. A replica of Sarah Carlyle's wedding dress is exhibited in the room, a close-bodied gown with a petticoat (it used a mechanism to fold it when passing through narrow doors). The wooden floor in front of the fireplace of the bedroom has visible burn marks resulting from the explosions of the air trapped in the charcoal and wood resins: at the time the fire screen had not yet been invented. It is possible that the two lockers in the bedroom were used to lock up their cloth and or their dishes.

In front of the main chamber are John Carlyle's studio and the servant stairs that communicate with the ground and second floors.

John Carlyle's studio is located in front of his room. It contains his desk, a divan and a copy of the John Carlyle portrait that was sent to his brother. On the portrait his hand is painted inside his waistcoat, this represents a painting technique that started in 1750 called hand-in-waistcoat. The style was used to indicate leadership in a calm and firm manner, and at the same time it was easier to paint. The room was also was used as dinner table for the family in order to spare the main dining room. The floor was made with silk and it had rhomboid patterns. At the time, ships arriving to the dock could be seen through the studio windows. The room also contains a fireplace.

Second storey

John Carlyle's children's bedrooms were located on the second floor. The second floor hall is located at the center of the house and above the main floor hall and is accessible to the first floor both through the main stairs and through the servant stairs.

In the hall many books are displayed, among them an 8th edition of The Gardeners Dictionary by Philip Miller (1768), the 16th edition of The Gardeners Kalendar, also by Philip Miller, and Volumes II and III of The Poets of Great Britain by John Bell that collect the works of Alexander Pope.

George William Carlyle's room was located on the left side of the floor.

Sarah Carlyle Fairfax and Anne Carlyle's room was located in front of their brother's. In this bedroom, there is a copy of Sarah Carlyle Fairfax's wedding dress on display.  It is probable that Penelope (Penny) took care of Sally and Anne and slept with them during winter time to share body heat, or slept in front or their bed or in the aisle between the bedrooms.

On the right side of the second floor is located a room showing the way the house was originally constructed, which also has a fireplace. In front of it are located the servant stairs and another room.

Front yard

At the time a regulation stipulated that no house would use a front yard to maximize the use of space. To solve the obstacle Carlyle bought 2 lots, lot 41 and lot 42, and it became the only house with a wide front yard in the area. At the time, Carlyle was a member of the board of trustees that regulated the use of the land in the city.

Back yard

In the 1700s the back yard was located in front of the river, but during the following decades the land was expanded filling the area with old boats and other materials, today is located in front of N. Lee Street and at two blocks of distance from the Potomac river.

History

George Washington, a native Virginian who studied mathematics, trigonometry, and land surveying in Lower Church, prepared two maps of what later became the city of Alexandria. The first map was the "Plat of the Land" drawn in 1748: it was a copy of a prior map.

When the lots for the new town of Alexandria were auctioned in July 1749, John Carlyle purchased the lots 41 and 42, situated between the Potomac River and the town's market square, ideal for his merchant business.

Congress of Alexandria

King George II sent Edward Braddock with two regiments of British regulars (2500 troops)  to America to fight in the French and Indian War that started in 1754, they arrived on 20 February 1755 in Hampton, in the colony of Virginia. In April 1755 they came to Carlyle house, and it became the initial headquarters for Major-General Edward Braddock in the Colony of Virginia. On April 15, 1755, was held the Congress of Alexandria in which Braddock met with five colonial governors, Horatio Sharpe (Maryland's governor ), Robert Dinwiddie (Virginia's governor), James De Lancey (New York's governor), William Shirley (Massachusetts' governor), and Robert Hunter Morris (Pennsylvania's governor).

They convened in the dining room of the house and here Braddock first suggested the idea of levying additional new taxes on the colonists to help with the cost of the war, and also decided to make an expedition to Fort Duquesne during the French and Indian War. George Washington, who was appointed as major in the provincial militia in February 1753 by Robert Dinwiddie (Virginia's Royal Governor), urged Braddock not to undertake the expedition and became a volunteer aide-de-camp to Braddock. Nevertheless, Braddock decided to undertake the expedition, resulting in the death or injury of two thirds of Braddock's troops and also in Braddock's own death.

Slavery

British colonists used slave force before the colonization, and that increased with the Atlantic slave trade. John Carlyle was a slaveholder, most of them were probably fluent in English and were able to receive instructions and to communicate in English. Carlyle could have inherited them, bought them in Europe, in the market or in a nearby plantation in America.

Many of John Carlyle's slaves lived and worked in his properties; The Carlyle House, in a foundry located on the same lot as the house and in his three plantations.

When John Carlyle died in 1780, there were nine slaves living at Carlyle House: Moses, Nanny, Jerry, Joe, Cate, Sibreia, Cook, Charles and Penny. In the colonial period, as many as twenty-five slaves might have lived and worked within its walls and in the various outbuildings, the jobs they could have done were:

 Blacksmith (probably joe, since he had a 35 pounds value)
 Cook: Ze probably worked and slept in the kitchen.
 A nanny that took care of the children (Probably penny)
 Slaves to take do the laundry.
 Slaves to wait on table for instructions.
 A slave to hold water from the well to the rooms when needed.
 A slave to take water up and downstairs (probably Kate)
 A slave to care of John Carlyle needs (Moses)

Slaves in Alexandria were able to learn new skills and jobs and living in a community with free African Americans, this allowed them to run away from slavery and got freedom and live with their friends in nearby towns.

American Revolution

The ideological and political revolution in British America that started in 1765 originated by tax imposition by the British Parliament, a body in which Americans had no direct representation, which was seen as a violation of their Rights of Englishmen. This led to the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War that started on April 19, 1775, and finished on September 3, 1783.

John Carlyle died in 1780, during the time of the Revolutionary War. His son, George William Carlyle, inherited the house in 1780, but died in combat at the Battle of Eutaw Springs in South Carolina one year later.

John Carlyle Herbert inherited the Carlyle House in 1781. The house passed from the family's possession by 1827 when Sarah Carlyle died. John Carlyle Herbert sold it to pay off an uncle's gambling debt, while he himself had moved to Maryland in the first decade of the 19th century.

A wealthy Alexandria merchant, John Lloyd, owned extensive tracts of real estate both in and outside of town, and ended up acquiring possession of the Carlyle House.  Not successful in selling the property, Lloyd offered the structure as a possible site for the new city and county courthouse to be constructed in Alexandria in 1838. This proposal was rejected and Lloyd continued to lease the premises to a number of renters until it was sold in 1848 to James Green, the owner of Green and Brother Furniture Factory, a noted Alexandria furniture manufacturer.

Civil War

By 1860 Carlyle House owner James Green completed many major renovations to the Carlyle House.  He also created a hotel in front of the house known as the Mansion House Hotel, which was known as one of the best hotels on the East Coast. With the building of the hotel fronting Fairfax Street, the Carlyle House was no longer visible from the street.

At the onset of the Civil War, Union troops occupied the city of Alexandria, including the Mansion House Hotel, in November 1860 Green received notice to vacate in December since the Mansion Hotel was going to be confiscated. The troops converted it to a hospital for Union soldiers, after the Battle of Bull Run. It had a capacity to treat more than 700 wound soldiers, nurses were mostly female, but at the time there were not many female medical doctors in the country.

During the Civil War, this house and the city of Alexandria itself, that once used slave force, became one of the principal centers that supported the fight against slavery and hold a key role in the abolition of slavery in the United States in the 19th century.

World War I and World War II

During the World War I the house became a museum, and was located two blocks from the U.S. Naval Torpedo Station in Alexandria.  By the mid-twentieth century the building was in a state of great disrepair due to lack of proper maintenance.

House owners

In 1749 half-acre (lots 41 and 42) were auctioned in Alexandria, Virginia, John Carlyle bought them and completed the house in 1753, he was the owner until 1780, when he was killed during American Revolution.

John Carlyle's son, George William Carlyle, became the owner of the house in 1780 after his father's death, but he died the following year in the Battle of Eutaw Springs during the American Revolutionary War.

In 1781 John Carlyle Herbert (John Carlyle's grandson) inherited Carlyle House in 1781, since his mother Sarah Carlyle Fairfax (John Carlyle's daughter) was a woman, and women were not allowed to own land in the United States at the time (until it was allowed by law in 1839). She died in 1827, and the house was sold to John Lloyd in 1827 by John Carlyle Herbert to pay off one of his uncle's gambling debt.

John Lloyd rented the area until it was sold in 1848 to James Green and part of the area became the Green Hotel for a decade until i was confiscated for a year by the Union and it was converted into a Hospital during the Civil War in the United States, in 1965 it was returned to James Green, it became an apartment building in the early 20th century.

In 1865 the hotel was returned to the Green family. After Green's death in 1880, the hotel and the Carlyle House along with it, changed hands frequently and was acquired by new proprietors and renamed as Braddock House. It was not until 1906, when the buildings were bought by Earnest Wagar, that a major restoration of the house as an historic site was commenced.

NOVA Parks acquired the house and apartments in 1970 and fully restored the house in 1976 as part of United States Bicentennial celebration.

Carlyle House Historic Park

Carlyle House was renamed to Carlyle House Historic Park, and is owned, protected, and operated by the NOVA Parks agency of Northern Virginia.

The park was created by the demolition of two-thirds of the dilapidated Mansion House Hospital (1840, expanded 1855) that was located in front of the house, leaving behind the original Bank of Alexandria building (1807), still extant at 133 North Fairfax Street.

Carlyle House restoration

In 1969, the decision was made by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority to acquire and restore the property as a public national historic site. A survey of the site and existing buildings was initiated in October, 1970.  On July 17, 1970, the Authority acquired the Carlyle Apartments for $305,000. The house itself was purchased for $193,000 in 1971 and the remaining portion of the land for $210,000 the following year. Significant restoration work to the house was undertaken in the early and mid 1970s.

The house was planned to be turn down and reconstruct, but a technique to support the building was chosen instead in order to preserve all the details. The cat's remains were discovered during restoration work in the 1970s and the remains were put back in their original place at the basement of the house.

The restoration of the house and gardens was then directed by Beth R. Sundquist, project director, under the supervision of the Authority's executive director, William M. Lightsey.

The project involved tearing down the apartments (also known as the Braddock Hotel), once again exposing Carlyle House to North Fairfax Street, and then turning the mansion itself into an 18th-century museum.  This meant not only rehabilitating the structure as authentically as possible, but also tracking down and purchasing original fixtures and furniture, where possible, or acquiring equivalent examples from the period.  About a dozen pieces believed to have been in the house during the Carlyle family's occupancy were recovered by the time the house was opened to the public on January 23, 1976.

The park, which opened in January 1976, includes the 18th-century Carlyle House mansion and its gardens, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Events

The "Grandest Congress" is a reenactment celebrating General Braddock's time at the house that takes place on April 15 of every year at the Carlyle House.

"Yoga on the Magnolia Terrace" are Yoga Classes hold at the Magnolia Terrace every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 6 P.M. starting in April and ending in October of each year.

In popular culture

James Phinney Munroe edited and published in 1904 the book Adventures of an Army Nurse in Two Wars based in the diaries and correspondence of Mary Phinney von Olnhausen. The first part of the book talks about the lives of the people that worked in the Mansion House Hospital in Alexandria during the Civil War. The second part about her work also as a nurse in 1870 in the Franco-Prussian War.

Mercy Street (TV series) was a fictional medical drama based in the book Adventures of an Army Nurse in Two Wars and produced by PBS in 2016 and 2017, it had 2 seasons with 6 episodes in each one.

Q: How to Concatenate values present in Multiple fields and display it as single value in target field I want to auto-populate the Opportunity Name field based on the data entered during Opp creation.
Field A = Picklist
Field B = Picklist
Field C = Lookup (Account Name)

Logic: Opp Name = (Field A (first letter of Field A) + Field B + Field C)

What I have tried:
Created a Workflow rule to update the Name field once the record is created. Below is the Logic:
Opp Name: Field A&"-"&Field B&"-"&Field C

I am not sure how to display only the first letter of Field A. If Field A has a value "SFDC", I need only 'S' to be displayed.

A: Find LEFT on this page: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=customize_functions_i_z.htm&type=5#LEFT (or in the formula builder you have help links too).
Since these are picklists it might have to be something like
LEFT(TEXT(FieldA__c), 1) & " - " & TEXT(FieldB__c) & " - " & Account.Name

You might want to wrap it in another LEFT(..., 120) if the whole thing can grow long (or whatever is the max on Opportunity.Name)

Student journalists fighting for access to documents and records are not always found in the courtroom. More often these students are engaged in everyday battles
Student journalists across the nation face obstacles every day in obtaining what should be legally available information under state and federal freedom of information laws and the federal Clery Act, which requires schools to release crime information.
These obstacles can delay or prevent the public from obtaining information that could protect students from violent crime, potential health hazards or simply learning how state money is being used.
In many cases, the only option to force disclosure of information is to file a lawsuit. But in addition to being expensive, that also takes time.
"Any journalist who takes an open-records case to court is really acting on principle and not for a story because the process is just too slow to be all that helpful — even [for] an investigatory story that doesn't need to be done the next week," said Rebecca Daugherty, an attorney with the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press. "We're talking about months and years to make the court enforce your rights to information."
Daugherty, director of the Reporters Committee's Freedom of Information Service Center, said some states have created alternative ways to resolve open-records disputes, such as appeals to an ombudsman, open-records council or the state's attorney general.
She said these routes could be better options for journalists because they do not require them to wait for the courts to hear and decide their cases.
But journalists must be careful when trying to force disclosure.
"I think reporters have to do what they can to enforce the law," Daugherty said. "But they're also plagued by trying to get along with the people who are going to give them information in the future. It would be better, I think, if officials charged with enforcing laws enforced the open-government laws."
WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS
A group of students in Texas over the last year uncovered what some called a major problem at the state's public and private universities. The students were part of the Light of Day Project, an open-records audit using the state's open-records law and the federal Clery Act that was sponsored by the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas.
"I think they uncovered a huge problem," said Joel White, a Houston attorney and president of the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas. "It was very different from campus to campus, though. There were campuses [that] were in fairly reasonable compliance with both the Clery Act and the public information act. There were other campuses that had tremendous problems in complying with the law."
The Clery Act requires public and private universities that participate in financial aid programs to provide a wealth of information and statistics about campus crime.
As part of the project, a group of students from the University of North Texas and Southern Methodist University examined crime statistics from more than 100 campuses.
Students in the group were assigned about 10 schools to examine, said Christina Jancic, who participated in the project and recently graduated from the graduate journalism program at the University of North Texas.
Jessica Savage, a reporter for Southern Methodist University's The Daily Campus, ran into problems with two police departments while working on a story about a female student who was allegedly raped after returning to her apartment from a campus charity event.
Although the assault happened off-campus, the woman's parents urged her to inform campus police because it was thought the man followed her home from campus, Savage's story said.
The event was not brought to the attention of the SMU student body and the crime log on the SMU Police Department's Web site never mentioned the incident as an assault, according to Savage's story.
"It's just disturbing to me that the police wouldn't report what's been reported to them as a sexual assault," Savage said. "It just makes you wonder why they wouldn't report a sexual assault on campus."
When working on the story, Savage also experienced problems with the Dallas Police Department, where the assaulted woman also filed a report.
Savage, who knew the woman, used the woman's name to request the police report about the incident. Because she knew the name her request was denied, she said.
According to a letter from the Texas attorney general, because Savage knew the woman's name, the entire report had to be withheld to protect the woman's privacy.
After her story and others critical of the SMU police department were published, Savage said the newspaper had problems getting comment from the department.
Jancic also encountered problems during the project.
She said other students participating in the project were able to obtain free copies of documents, but she had to pay $130 for documents at the University of Texas at Arlington. Although the university was legally able to charge her, it was an attempt to "stonewall" the request, she said.
She said officials used the law to their advantage, pushing the limits enough to stay within the law but far enough to try to discourage requests.
"I think they're trying to hope that you don't know the laws well enough. They're just trying to bet on [that] maybe you won't try as hard, you won't be as diligent, you won't be as persistent," Jancic said. "I think they're just hoping that you don't ask questions … They're going to make you jump through the hoops that they legally can but they don't have to."
Like Savage, Jancic encountered situations at the University of Texas at Arlington where sexual assaults were listed in the school's daily crime log simply as assaults.
"In my situation, when I did go over the daily logs and the police reports and asked why some incidents were listed as just assaults when they were actually sexual assaults, the police chief blamed it on record keeping," Jancic said.
It is this misclassification of crimes that can be deadly to students, White said.
Jancic said if she had not been able to obtain police reports to compare to crime logs, she never would have known about sexual assaults she discovered at the University of Texas at Arlington.
"If I was [a student journalist at the University of Texas at Arlington] and I just went into the police office and looked at that daily log, nothing would have popped out at me. It was sort of under the radar," she said. "It wasn't until I put the two together, the daily logs and the police reports, that I realized what it was."
But the misclassification of crimes and "stonewalling" by officials is not what concerned Jancic the most about the results of this project. Jancic and White agreed schools should do more to report off-campus crimes in areas frequented by students.
She said schools should not only report about crimes for more areas close to campuses, such as parking lots and apartments, but also surrounding neighborhoods as schools grow into them.
"[Officials will] go by the law, but maybe the law needs to be expanded because they can literally not include what happens just across the street, which is an area that students go through to get to their cars, parking lots," Jancic said. "It reflects how safe the area around the university is. That I'm very concerned with."
Schools must include in their annual security reports crimes that occur on "all public property, including thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, and parking facilities, that is within the campus, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus," according to the U.S. Department of Education's handbook on the Clery Act.
White agreed with Jancic about needing to report crimes that occur in areas near schools that attract large numbers of students, such as apartment complexes.
"It's in the public's best interest for those crimes to be reported so that students can protect themselves," he said. "But the fact of the matter is that many campuses did not report those crimes because they simply were not required to under federal law."
White also said that even though penalties for noncompliance are built into the laws, they are not strictly enforced. In bringing the problems to the public's attention, things might change, he said.
"If [parents] knew crime — sexual assault and violent crime — was intentionally being hidden, not disclosed, I think that would force major changes and I think it has," White said. "I think the Light of Day Project is a perfectly good example of that very thing because there were a lot of changes in light of those articles."
White said the foundation is likely to push for legislation to open police records from private college police departments, something already introduced in Georgia and Massachusetts. (See "Bills," page 31.)
Daugherty said groups like the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas have helped in changing state open-records laws.
"More and more you begin to see coalitions, public interest groups within the states take on FOI causes," Daugherty said. "And then the states where those efforts are vigorous, you're seeing improvements in the law."
But Texas is not the only state where students find laws in need of change.
"I think overall I'm satisfied with the responses that I've received [when filing requests] for items with the school," Ryan Hutchins said. "But, really, satisfied' in the sense that it meets the status quo. And, unfortunately, I think the status quo, at least in New York, isn't quite acceptable."
In fact, Hutchins, a sophomore at Plattsburgh State University and managing editor of the school's student-run newspaper, Cardinal Points, said he generally gets requested records within the state's statutory five-day response period. He said the longest he has waited is two or three weeks.
But, he said, New York's open-records law does little to compel disclosure. He said if his campus administration denies a request, he can appeal to the central administration of the State University of New York, but after that his options are limited and there is little chance he could take such a dispute to court.
"The likelihood that I'm going to press them that much is pretty slim," Hutchins said. "If they don't want to release something, why would they?"
Despite his usually successful efforts in obtaining records, Hutchins said there is an "atmosphere of apathy" created by the language of the state freedom of information law.
According to the New York Freedom of Information Law, public agencies have five business days to respond to written FOIL requests. This response can be the production of records, a letter denying the request or a letter giving a future approximate date of denial or granting of the request.
This ability to delay is unacceptable to Hutchins, although he said he and other reporters help records custodians delay the release of records by not closely monitoring their requests.
"What does it say if records officers see that reporters don't take the law seriously enough to call them on it? Why should they take it seriously?" Hutchins asked. "So I think if reporters always press the records officers for information, regardless of urgency, we would find probably much quicker response times in a number of instances when the law gets violated."
REPEATED PROBLEMS, DIFFERENT AGENCIES
For Chris Terbrueggen, a recent University of Oklahoma graduate, it was not uncommon to run into problems when requesting information from the Norman, Okla., Police Department, the Cleveland County Court or his own university.
While writing for OU's student-run newspaper, The Oklahoma Daily, Terbrueggen worked on a project examining the number of sexual assaults that occurred on and around campus.
"We were trying to find out over the last three years how many sexual assaults and rapes have occurred within a mile of the campus," he said. "Basically, we asked for a database of all incident reports related to sexual assaults and rapes."
Terbrueggen said he received the database and was able to use the data to identify about 30 reported sexual assaults in the area he was examining. Although he received incident reports for each of the assaults, he said he was charged more than $30 for them — well above what Oklahoma state agencies are permitted to charge.
State agencies in Oklahoma can charge noncommercial requesters, which includes journalists, 25 cents per page or $1 per page for certified copies, up to 8 1/2 inches by 14 inches, according to the state open-records act.
But Terbrueggen said the city police department was not following the open-records act when it set its prices.
"There was a city ordinance on the books that basically let them set their own fee scale for incident reports," he said. "I noticed a lot with working with the Cleveland County Court system and also with the police department that both of those agencies have these fee scales in place that completely contradict the open-records act."
In a November 2003 story in The Oklahoma Daily, an attorney for the city of Norman, Okla., Jeff Raley, said the fees were justified because of the administrative costs from clerks working overtime.
Terbrueggen said many times the problem with state agencies is that they do not understand the purpose of the media and that they do not distinguish between commercial and noncommercial requesters.
"Some of these agencies don't understand the idea that we're working for the public so it's not for commercial purposes," he said. "It's in the public's interest."
Terbrueggen's problems extend beyond the city police department to the University of Oklahoma.
While investigating OU's water system, which was listed by the Natural Resources Defense Council as a system with one of the highest arsenic levels in the nation, Terbrueggen ran into problems while trying to gain access to information about the school's water system.
Terbrueggen wanted to know if the university was still using five water wells that it told state officials it would stop using after the wells were found in violation of water-quality standards.
But the university refused to supply the records, giving him limited data going back just four years, even though he requested information from as far back as 1974.
"Where information provided does not match information requested, we were unable to obtain such information," a university official wrote to Terbrueggen in a memo dated February 13, 2004, although Terbrueggen said he did not receive the memo until the next month. "That is not to say that the information doesn't exist, but that, without a considerable amount of time spent searching old and archived records that would be extremely difficult to locate, we simply did not have the time to devote to responding to the request."
Terbrueggen went to two other state agencies in his search for the pumping records, including the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Equality and the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, where Terbrueggen was able to find the information he needed.
"These permits were able to nail down when they were using and how much they were using," he said. "The story caused the [Department of Environmental Quality] to do an audit of the OU water system and found out they were using the wells after the officials that were working there at the time said they were not."
The audit found 381 water violations to which the university admitted. Although the school could have been fined more than $9.5 million for the violations — the 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act allows fines of $25,000 per violation, according to Terbrueggen's story — the university instead was required to educate the community about the violations.
It was only after the state completed its audit of the university that Terbrueggen received the records he had requested from the school, but they were in a measurement he could not decipher, he said.
In addition to the university's refusal to hand over the water records, the administrator in charge of open-records requests is not available to handle requests at all times during normal business hours, as he believes state law requires.
"She had cases that were filed against OU or that OU filed that she had to take care of at the same time," Terbrueggen said of the designated open-records custodian at OU, who is an attorney in the school's legal counsel office. "Her time was maxed out."
WINNING THE FIGHT
In the end, students are usually able to find their way to the information they are searching for, without filing lawsuits.
Persistence can pay off, either with continued pressure on officials to release information or by finding another source for the information.
"If you can't get access to the information, it stalls the story," Terbrueggen said. "You've got to be very creative and imaginative about how to get that information."

iheartfilm | Dedicated to movie lovers everywhere!
Welcome to my passion for all things film!
Step inside and enjoy memories or maybe learn something new. Hopefully, I keep you engaged and thinking. Enjoy!
I've been a movie fan ever since I was a little kid tagging along with my sisters to the Saturday matinee. A theater full of kids, popcorn and some of the worst/best B-movies of all time!
One of my all time faves that I saw as a kid was "The House on Haunted Hill." Producer, Director William Castle was the king of the movie gimmick. Each film had a feature to draw in an audience. In his first financed film, Macabre (1958) he came up with the idea to give every movie goer a $1,000 life insurance policy from Lloyd's of London in case they should die of fright during the film. To top it all off he had nurses stationed in the lobbies and a hearse parked in front of every theater. The film was a hit!
"House on Haunted Hill" (1959) was filmed in "Emergo." During the final moments of the picture a skeleton, which had been suspended on wires, flies above the audience to correspond to the final act of the film. As an adult, I had the joy of experiencing the "Emergo" effect when a revival came to a local theater to celebrate Halloween. In true Castle fashion, there was a contest for the best scream.
These days I fancy myself a true film aficionado. I even speak in movie quotes! Whether it's B-movies, classics, documentaries, whatever, my tastes run the gamut. This website is a personal, as well as a cathartic project. I love history so each post will contain information and insights into the origins and development of film.

Brookstone Law PC: Occupy Wall Street Protests Against Banks Could Hurt Homeowners Trying to Save Their Homes
Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) November 09, 2011
Despite their claims of victory, the Occupy Wall Street movement is a distraction from the importance of the national debate over how to help homeowners victimized by the foreclosure crisis save their homes, according to Vito Torchia, Jr., managing attorney of Brookstone Law PC.
"While the nation is watching protesters chanting slogans and beating drums, thousands of homeowners hurt by the mismanagement of the banks are desperately trying to save their homes," said Vito Torchia, Jr. "Because it appears the Federal government is likely to soon impose a solution to the problem that favors the banks, those consumers fighting to save their homes are the ones who need the scrutiny of the media to remain on what is happening with the banks."
According to media coverage, after protest marchers pounded on the windows of an Oakland Bank of America branch, used markers to write on the glass and blocked customers from using ATMs, the branch was closed.
"We want to see Bank of America held responsible for their misdeeds in causing the foreclosure crisis, but anything that generates sympathy for them works against consumers suffering from the Bank's misconduct," said Vito Torchia, Jr. "As more attention is paid to protesters, less is paid to the banks and their role in hurting millions of homeowners."
Recent media coverage indicates a proposed federally mandated settlement in which the banks would send a letter to several million individual homeowners offering to work with mediators to submit proposals for fixing toxic mortgage loans may derail ongoing efforts by dozens of state Attorneys General to solve the problem and leave thousands of homeowners in danger of losing their homes without a solution.
"There are significant problems with the Federal proposal, the most important of which is that the regulators haven't released information about how they will determine how much to compensate borrowers found to have been foreclosed on improperly," said Vito Torhia, Jr.
According to recent media coverage, fourteen mortgage servicers acting under orders from federal regulators have begun mailing out letters to potential victims of wrongful foreclosure practices inviting borrowers to submit their cases for a free review by independent consultants that are funded by the lenders but vetted by regulators.
"The program also funds a multi-million dollar national advertising campaign on behalf of the banks and it isn't clear whether borrowers will have to give up rights to further claims if they are compensated in some way," said Vito Torchia, Jr. "This program clearly favors the banks so homeowners without expert legal help are in significant danger of not getting the help they need if this program is enacted."
Media coverage indicates that under the Federal program, each mortgage servicer is required to mail one letter to each customer eligible for the review and about 70% of those potentially slated to receive letters are still in their homes. The letters will go out to homeowners who were in foreclosure in 2009 and 2010, a period identified by regulators as the peak of foreclosure misconduct. In addition to the mailings, an advertising campaign will begin shortly to get the word out to people potentially harmed by the errors.
"It is ironic that at the same time as the Government is helping the Banks out at the expense of consumers, a protest movement supported by that same Government succeeds in closing the banks by consumers, if only for a day," said Vito Torchia, Jr. "We would be happy to help shut those banks down too — but only after we help those who lost their homes due to the Bank's blatant misconduct and mismanagement."
According to media coverage, employees at Bank of America's main office in Oakland were sent home early to ensure their safety, residents near the protesters have had their lives negatively impacted and businesses have consistently been hurt by the presence of protesters.
"By hurting small businesses, the protesters are doing damage to the common people they claim to represent," said Vito Torchia, Jr. "While protestors plan additional actions and continue to overrun public spaces with tents, trash and daily reports of violence, the media focuses on them instead of the consumers who are in danger of wrongful foreclosures and losing their homes."

For our Fall events, we accept Fall/Winter clothing such as jackets, long sleeve shirts, school uniforms, hoodies, sweaters, Halloween costumes (children sizes only, please), Christmas outfits, winter boots, and other cold weather items.
Remember: the better they look, the better they sell! Please take time to wash and iron your clothes. We recommend washing them in free/clear hypoallergenic detergents, as you do not want a buyer to be turned off from your item because of an overbearing fragrance. Also, please check for stains, broken zippers, missing buttons, torn hemlines, etc.
We will be checking your items at the store and will not receive any item that is not in excellent condition.
Please group items together so that they will equal a value of at least $3.00. They need to be secured together with a safety pin, so they do not get separated.
When hanging clothes, use small PLASTIC hangers for sizes 10 and below. Use larger PLASTIC hangers for sizes 12 and above. No metal hangers, please! When hanging your item, be sure that with the front of the garment facing you, the hook of the hanger forms the top of a question mark "?". This will ensure all your items are hanging in the correct direction for our racks.
All pants must be clipped or pinned to a hanger, not folded over, as they tend to end up on the floor and shoppers want to see the entire pant to purchase.
Safety pin all sets and accessories securely together with pants hung on the back of the shirt at the waist. Both pieces need to be visible without unpinning them.
For more detailed description on hanging and tagging, click on "Consign" at the top of this page, then select "Sign Up To Consign".
Please only bring your like-new shoes! It is best to wash shoes first, but do not put in the dryer as this will likely melt some of the glue and create discoloring of the shoe. Let shoes air dry.
1) Write your consignor number, the item number, and price on masking tape on the bottom of each shoe with a Sharpie. This will help if they should become separated.
2) Use a zip tie to attach shoes together. Place the zip tie with the price tag through the shoe eyelet or heel pull.

The Light of Future Suns - anxiety and the use of the future tense in Ether/Ore by Brett Elizabeth Jenkins
A psychologist once told me that depression is living in the past tense, anxiety living in the future tense. This seems to hold a deal of water. The future tense, after all, is a construction of what may or may not come. It is always speculative. Even a phrase such as I am going to the store after work supposes a working car, absence of personal emergency, and the continued beating of one's own heart. Brett Elizabeth Jenkins explores anxiety and uses of the future tense in her debut album Ether/Ore. Her tight, disarmingly honest collection uses the inevitable extinction of the sun as symbol of mortality and a source of anxiety. "How small have we become," she writes on considering the slow dying of our source of energy, heat, and life, "How light."
The poem "Dim Fires" begins with the statement, "I'm going to stop worrying about the sun." The narrator then proceeds to spend the rest of the poem (and the book) worrying about the sun, how nonexistence terrifies us:
"no thoughts to wake us in the morning, no eggs
sizzling on the stovetop, or slippers, or feet
for that matter in them (where do we go
when we leave our bodies?), no one to take
photos and no one to see them."
The future tense of vowing to change that starts off this poem with hope descends into the questioning panic what if?
On the page facing "Dim Fires," "Outlines" begins with a success story, the narrator has successfully completed one day of following her vow. Her sunrise/sunset tables tell the future tense with certainty: "at four minutes after six, the buildings are darkening, making outlines of red." These charts tell her also that mornings are dawning earlier, hastening the moment of panic (she doubts she will beat fear the following day) of seeing "[the sun's] bright arc popping / over the horizon like a lightbulb about to shatter."
Transferring anxiety onto the sun is not enough to keep off pervasive care. The narrator admits, in "If the Sun," that
"If the sun went out, yes, I would
spend the last eight minutes doing exactly
what I spend the rest of my time doing:
worrying about the places
people keep their guns..."
The sun is not the issue. It's the realization that we are dependent on forces much greater than us, forces that are inhuman and unfeeling, utterly beyond control. "Outer space," she says, "is real. / And then it hit me: I am mortal. My God, I will die."
Later, Jenkins writes "Daylight savings time begins / in three weeks. "I will really have it together then," I say." This use of the future tense to shift and shirk responsibility onto a future self - what to say except I see myself here. Perhaps anxiety comes from a failure to take the advice of Horace to seize the day, trusting nothing to the future.
Of course, the present and past is made of futures that have come and gone, promised much but fizzled. Jenkins addresses this future past in "World without Me," writing "How many unfilled spaces shimmer like / ether, remembering what potentially was." Regret is the end of anxiety. The pitch has gone by. We did not swing. No need to worry. Only sadness remains now that time has clamped down the possibility of propositional futures.

Lucknow's stone gardens

Lucknow's stone gardens
The Other SideMrinal PandeMayawatiUttar PradeshKanshi RamRam Manohar LohiaMulayam SinghColumns
Our cities, wrote Ivan Turgenev about Russia, "burn every five years". Funny, so do ours, with each general election. Except ours are not burnt, but bulldozed.
From Delhi to Bangalore to Lucknow, irrespective of epoch or party, as soon as a new chief minister takes oath of office, he or she becomes an expert on town planning, full of profundities and wisdom about mega plans for redoing the face of the capital, with public funds, of course. The Supreme Court has recently threatened Mayawati, chief minister of Uttar Pradesh (UP), with strong action if her government does not immediately stop the construction of over a dozen stone memorials. The concept may have been driven by noble intentions, but the building of what the public in Lucknow calls patthar ke bagh (gardens of stone) has all but destroyed the green cover that Lucknow was once famous for.
According to her pious acolytes, Mayawatiji has devoted much personal attention to the concept and implementation of all these samajik parivartan sthals and sthans (social transformation areas and spots) with gigantic statues of major Dalit leaders, including several of her own. The tallest among these is the 18ft-high bronze statue of her mentor Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ramji. It has cost the exchequer of the impoverished state a sum of Rs47.25 lakh.
True, most Dalits in UP see in Behenji's rise and visibility the end of a long history of their own invisibility and powerlessness. And the parks sporting wilting palms and enormous triads of Mayawati, Kanshi Ram and B.R. Ambedkar are, to them, temples of a new cult where Dalit leaders are the deities. But the rest of the electorate is not too sure. Mayawati's predecessor, the other backward classes leader Mulayam Singh Yadav, too had started on a similar building spree and created huge parks and gates to commemorate backward communities and their Samajwadi mentor Ram Manohar Lohia. Entire neighbourhoods were razed, including some historic homes as the pickaxes and bulldozers went into motion. As is often the case in India, laziness, graft and finally a change in government prevented those samajik nyaya (social justice)-driven plans from destroying Lucknow. But not before it left the city with several unfinished cycle paths and flyovers that are virtual death traps during the rush hour. Mayawati's government has had more time and resources to demolish old Lucknow. But his bulldozers, Mulayam Singh said recently, are waiting for her ouster.
For old timers it is possible to recall how, in years gone by, Lucknow was a city where it was possible to relax and have freewheeling discussions about the state and the nation and the world in general over cups of tea or coffee or a glass of beer. There is almost no room left for such informal gatherings now. You may walk around for hours but you will find no park or inexpensive place where you may relax and catch up with old friends without fearing for your pocket or your life, or both, especially after dark. From the airport at Amausi to the secretariat and the vidhan sabha (state legislative assembly) premises, the neta (leader) prototypes and their cronies loom everywhere, cars invariably parked in total defiance of parking rules. In the city markets, they loll about at street corner paan shops and parks in clusters, eyeing women and making lewd comments, scratching their unmentionables, belching and flashing cash and arrogance. If you have neither a home nor a safe hotel room in Lucknow, forget about letting your hair down in the city.
The builders, most of whom are also party fund-raisers, have created new markets in their own image, after displacing or demolishing the old ones. The gaudiest and largest display windows in the city's prime shopping centres no longer display books or Lucknow's famous attars or the traditional hand-embroidered garments, but mobile phones, expensive foreign watches and pens, imported perfumes, flashy machine-embroidered "designer" wear, and expensive fixtures for homes and offices. The last time I visited Lucknow (about a month ago), as our taxi drove through the ugly, over-crowded streets with towering billboards announcing many grand product launches and public rallies, roads were lined with garish malls, querulous doormen and hassled buyers. This, I was told, is so and so's son's mall, and that showroom is in the name of so and so's "Mrs", and that multiplex you see, madam, is built by so and so's right-hand man who grabbed the old building and chased away the owners with the help of his gun-toting goons.
Suddenly, I understood the real meaning of the much-touted social justice revolution of India. It has not changed the ruling norms, only created autocrats from other castes.

He is the ninth and current Archbishop of Colombo, serving since 2009. He was elevated to the cardinalate in 2010.

Early life and education[edit]
As the eldest of fourteen children, Malcolm Ranjith was born in Polgahawela to Don William and Mary Winifreeda. He studied at the De La Salle College in Mutwal before entering St. Aloysius Seminary in Borella in 1965. From 1966 to 1970, he pursued studies in theology and philosophy at the National seminary in Kandy. He was thereafter sent by the then Archbishop Thomas Cooray to further his priestly studies in Rome, he graduated from the Pontifical Urbanian University with a Bachelor of Theology (B.Th.) degree.
On 29 June 1975, Malcolm Ranjith was ordained to the priesthood by Pope Paul VI in St. Peter's Square. Later the cardinal had joined the tutorial staff of St. Thomas' College, Kotte[2] before he pursued post graduate studies at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, from where he obtained a Licentiate in Sacred Scripture in 1978; his thesis centered on the Epistle to the Hebrews. During his time at the Biblical Institute, he studied under Carlo Martini and Albert Vanhoye (both future cardinals), he also attended the Hebrew University of Jerusalem where he undertook scriptural research as a postgraduate student.[citation needed]
Priestly ministry[edit]
Upon his return to Sri Lanka, Ranjith became an assistant parish priest in Pamunugama in 1978, later serving as a parish priest in Payagala and Kalutara. His pastoral work among the poor but religious people in these fishing villages led him to become involved with social justice. He also established "Seth Sarana", a center for poor relief in the Archdiocese of Colombo. He once said that "love for the liturgy and love for the poor...have been the compass of my life as a priest."
In 1983, Ranjith was named the National Director of Pontifical Mission Societies. He revived the Society of the Holy Childhood and, as Diocesan Co-ordinator for Human Development, he introduced bold initiatives in areas such as housing, fisheries and various self-employment projects.
Episcopal career[edit]
Auxiliary Bishop of Colombo[edit]
On 17 June 1991, Ranjith was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Colombo and Titular Bishop of Cabarsussi. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 31 August from Archbishop Nicholas Marcus Fernando, with Bishops Thomas Savundaranayagam and Oswald Gomis serving as co-consecrators. He served as the Vicar General in charge of Parochial Apostolate and Lay Apostolate from 1991 to 1995. His peers elected him the Secretary General of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Sri Lanka as well. As the Chairman of the Organising Committee for the Beatification of Ven. Joseph Vaz and the visit of Pope John Paul II to Sri Lanka in January 1995, certainly impressed the Church leaders.[citation needed]
First Bishop of Ratnapura[edit]
Ranjith was also the first bishop appointed by the Holy See to the newly created Diocese of Ratnapura. Ranjith took office as Bishop of Ratnapura on 2 November 1995. His appointment was hailed as a welcome spark to kindle the fire of missionary zeal in the hearts of the clergy and laity in his diocese.[citation needed]
Ranjith promoted inter-faith dialogue in Sri Lanka as he believes it can eliminate potential causes of tensions and disagreements between the religious and ethnic groups that make up the country. He once said that "dialogue is vital and fundamental and as Catholics we must celebrate the richness of the Word of God incarnate in our life, families and communities".[citation needed]
Adjunct Secretary[edit]
Ranjith is also the first Sri Lankan Bishop to be appointed to the Holy See's civil service. On 1 October 2001, he was named Adjunct Secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, and simultaneously appointed President of the Pontifical Mission Societies by Pope John Paul II. It is the Pope's ministry for the coordination of the missionary efforts of the Church and involves overview and growth of the local Churches in mission countries.
This Ministry coordinates over 1100 Archdioceses, Dioceses, Apostolic Vicarates and Apostolic Prefectures as well as Sui Juris Missions. The Adjunct Secretary is the President as of the Pontifical Mission Societies, which are the instruments of the Pope for enhancing support through prayer and contributions for the mission of the Church.[citation needed]
Apostolic Nuncio to Indonesia and East Timor[edit]
Ranjith is the first Sri Lankan bishop to be appointed an Apostolic Nuncio. He was appointed titular archbishop of Umbriatico and the Apostolic Nuncio to Indonesia and to East Timor on 29 April 2004[3]
During his tenure as Apostolic Nuncio he was instrumental in enhancing mutual relations between the Holy See and Indonesia. He won the admiration of the Church hierarchy for the important role he played in assisting the establishment of cordial relations between the local Churches and government authorities, whilst ensuring respect for the rights of the local Catholic Church throughout the country.
Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship[edit]
Archbishop Ranjith was appointed Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments on 10 December 2005.[4] He once described the liturgical reforms inspired by the Second Vatican Council as "a mixed bag of results." While praising the use of vernacular languages, he also criticized the "quasi total abandonment" of Latin and the "acceptance of all kinds of 'novelties' resulting from a secularizing and humanistic theological and liturgical mindset overtaking the West." He has also lamented the "banalization and obscuring of the mystical and sacred aspects of the liturgy in many areas of the Church in the name of a so-called Konzilsgeist (spirit of the Council)."
Ranjith opposes the reception of Communion in the hand and standing, once saying, "I think it is high time to...abandon the current practice that was not called for by Sacrosanctum Concilium, nor by Fathers, but was only accepted after its illegitimate introduction in some countries."[5] A staunch supporter of the Tridentine Mass, Ranjith once said that bishops who opposed Summorum Pontificum were allowing themselves to be "used as instruments of the devil," accusing them of "disobedience...and even rebellion against the Pope."[6] He once said, "I'm not a fan of the Lefebvrians...but what they sometimes say about the liturgy they say for good reason."[7]
Archbishop Ranjith is fluent in ten languages; Italian, German, French, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Spanish, English, Sinhala and Tamil.

Archbishop of Colombo[edit]
On 16 June 2009, Pope Benedict XVI appointed him as Metropolitan Archbishop of Colombo, naming Joseph Di Noia as Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.[8] In a letter to Archbishop Ranjith, Pope Benedict said, "I wish to express my sincere thanks for the fidelity, the commitment and competence with which you exercised that [Divine Worship secretary] office." Pope Benedict also expressed that "we have reason to be encouraged by the good you will be able to perform among the peoples of your land."[9]
Archbishop Ranjith was among 34 metropolitan archbishops to receive his pallium from Pope Benedict on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul on 29 June 2009.[10] The Archbishop was greeted with warmth and solemnity upon his arrival in Sri Lanka on 31 July 2009. Upon his arrival he was received by the President of Sri Lanka, such high-profile reception being due to the status of the Archbishops of Colombo as leaders (Metropolites) of the Catholic community in the country. Archbishop Ranjith took formal canonical possession of the Metropolitan See of Colombo in a private ceremony on 5 August 2009 and celebrated the Mass for the solemn beginning of his pastoral ministry as Archbishop of Colombo on 8 August 2009, when he was publicly installed in the cathedra of the Archbishops of Colombo.
On 7 October 2009, Archbishop Ranjith issued new liturgical guidelines in his diocese. These include a recommendation for "all faithful, including the religious, to receive Holy Communion reverently kneeling and on the tongue", as well as laymen being forbidden from preaching.[11] In addition to this, priests are forbidden to bring elements or styles of worship from other religions into the liturgy.
In April 2010, Archbishop Ranjith was elected and took office as President of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Sri Lanka.
Cardinal[edit]
On 20 October 2010, Pope Benedict XVI announced a Consistory for the creation of new Cardinals to be held on 20 November 2010, and made public the names of 24 Prelates he intended to raise to the Cardinalate on that occasion, Archbishop Ranjith being among those chosen for promotion to the Sacred College.[12] Accordingly, Archbishop Ranjith was created a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church on the Consistory of 20 November 2010, and was assigned the title of Cardinal-Priest of San Lorenzo in Lucina. On 13 February 2011 Cardinal Ranjith took possession of his titular church in Rome.
Cardinal Ranjith participated as a cardinal-elector in the 2013 conclave which elected Pope Francis.[13]
In addition to serving as archbishop of Colombo, Cardinal Ranjith serves as a member of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments and of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.[14] These memberships will be renewed every five years until his 80th birthday when he loses them on the same day he loses the right to vote in a conclave.
