Dance Away Cystic Fibrosis at Rowan University | innerrealmdesigns

Last friday was the ?Dance Away Cystic Fibrosis? dance at Rowan University Rec Center. Rowan University?s Public Relations Student Society of America, Delta Phi Epsilon, and Rowan Intramural Recreation Sports Association together raised awareness and funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

I had the honor and privilege to meet Kelly McHale who helped form the dance. Kelly is not only co-hosting the charity event to support Cystic Fibrosis research, but she also has the disease as well. Kelly is a ball of light with fiery determination and a passion to help promote awareness of Cystic Fibrosis. She has been working on the project with her friends since August 2012.

Kelly reached out to numerous graphic designers and design companies in New Jersey to design a logo and t-shirts for the event. To my surprise, she said out of the numerous designers she contacted, InnerRealm Designs was the only one who replied ?Yes, how can we help!?

Over the course of a week a t-shirt design and logo was created for the event. It came to me one day as I was working on the project, that I wanted to help?and surprise Kelly. I contacted friends, family, and colleagues to see if anyone could donate raffle prizes or monetary donations for the dance.

I had an overwhelming response from the donation letter I wrote that specifically mentioned my initial meeting with Kelly. I was able to be more than ?just a graphic designer? or ?a design company that did our shirts? for Kelly and her friends.

I met up with Kelly to talk about the event a week before, and was delighted to meet the host of the dance as well, Diana DiNapoli the PRSSA Vice President of Ethics, Advocacy and Philanthropy. Diana seemed just as delightfully surprised as Kelly, so my personal and professional goals were achieved! They were both surprised and excited, and had some incredible prizes to raffle, along with generous donations.

The Dance Away Cystic Fibrosis night was a blast. A ton of students came out for the event, and showed their support by wearing purple, purchasing raffle tickets and dancing. There were Zumba instructors keeping up the dance momentum for the entire night. And just about all who attended were on the dance floor, or eagerly buying raffle tickets!

I got to meet Kelly?s parents and family as well, and had the opportunity to tell them how great it was to meet their daughter and help with the event. They were so proud of Kelly and to see all her hard work for the dance unfold as the night went on. And not to mention Diana was a fantastic host, and she kept the dance party going till midnight!

The dance was a total success and raised over $1600.00 that will go to The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

?It?s really brought a lot of awareness on campus. A lot of people didn?t know what cystic fibrosis is. I feel like we reached a lot of different people,? DiNapoli said.

The most humbling feeling is when Kelly and Diana gave me a token of their appreciation at the end of the night with a Rowan University Blanket. I am usually the one who surprises, or helps?so it was a feeling I am not quite used to, and it truly made my night. I am so grateful to be a small part of that night. And I am humbled to know I surround my company, and myself with wonderful friends, family, and colleagues. Thank you again to all who donated to help with this amazing event!

RESTAURANTS AND FOOD IN CORK: The Italian at the Mardyke

The Italian at the Mardyke

Rico?s? is Riccardo Vallebella?s latest Italian venture in Cork and I called in last week to sample his ?familiar mix of fresh fast real food at good prices.?

After a warm welcome at the reception desk, we studied the menu and picked our starters: Bresaola (Beef Carpaccio and rocket salad) and Caprese (Mozzarella and Tomato salad), each at ?6.50. Both were very well presented and really enjoyable.





Moved on then to the main courses where you are more or less confined to either pasta or pizza, though with ?a good choice of each, all around the ?12.50 mark, give or take a euro or so.
?Here I choose the Rustica Pizza with tomato, mozzarella, rolled Italian Bacon and blue cheese. Very impressive on the plate and quite tasty with the blue cheese providing quite a kick in spots and the bacon giving a different texture here and there. Finished it off with pleasure.

The other mains came from the pasta list and was the Parmigiana (oven baked aubergine with mozzarella, tomato sauce, parmesan and basil). Again this was well presented and really tasty, something like a lasagne with aubergine instead of meat.?

Both the mains were washed down with a decent house wine, ?11.50 for a 50cl carafe of Barbera which had inviting aromas and was pleasant and easy drinking. They have Moretti beer in bottle, Perroni on tap and also a ?guest? Italian artisan beer.

Now time for dessert, all around a fiver. There is a rather short list, augmented by two specials. One of the specials was Tiramisu and it was rather special, sweet stuff indeed. I went for one of the regulars: Affogato (Gelato ice cream drained into coffee and sambuca). Enjoyed this even if it had more of a coffee kick, less Sambuca.

Made up for that though by finishing off with a Sambuca Black (5.00). Had been thinking of a Grappa but I like the aniseed taste here and it came with Cantuccio biscuits.

If you enjoy pizza and pasta, then this is the place for you.

VOLGOGRAD, Russia (AP) ? An aged T-34 tank clattered into the center of the southern Russian city once known as Stalingrad and soldiers dressed in World War II-era uniforms marched solemnly as Russia marked the 70th anniversary of the end of one of modern warfare's bloodiest battles.

President Vladimir Putin came to the city later Saturday to take part in the commemorations, including a visit to the famous hilltop memorial complex surmounted by a towering 87-meter (280-foot) statue of a sword-wielding woman representing the motherland.

The city 900 kilometers (560 miles) south of Moscow suffered six months of intensive fighting, beginning with massive air strikes, as Nazi forces tried to push deep into the Soviet Union and reach its Caucasus oil fields.

At least 1.2 million people are estimated to have died before the fighting ended on Feb. 2, 1943. The Red Army's defeat of the Nazis after house-to-house battling was a decisive turn in World War II.

One of the houses became a particularly resonant symbol of the battle. The four-story apartment building became known as the Pavlov House after the sergeant whose platoon inflicted heavy damage on Nazi troops and tanks while under heavy attack for two months, even as civilians continued to occupy it.

A woman born in the house a couple of months before the siege, Zinaida Andreeva, told the Interfax news agency Saturday that "for me, Feb. 2 is like a birthday. It's a special day, in which tears and happiness are side by side."

The city was renamed Volgograd in 1961, as part of the Khrushchev era's drive to erase the personality cult of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. But the name Stalingrad is indelibly connected with the battle that is one of Russia's most-lauded military achievements.

The connection is so strong that the city council this week passed a resolution under which it would use the name Stalingrad in official communiques on the day commemorating the battle's end, as well as five other days marking World War II events.

The legacy of Stalin remains a delicate issue nearly 60 years after his death. Although widely reviled for his decades of brutality and repression, many laud him as leading the people to victory against Nazi Germany amid immense suffering.

In a controversial move, Stalin's image adorns five buses that are to run in Volograd until Russia observes Victory Day on May 9, and similar buses were to run Saturday in St. Petersburg and Chita.

The leader of the liberal Yabloko party's faction in the St. Petersburg city council, Georgy Poltavchenko, denounced the Stalin buses.

"The victory in the Great Patriotic War" as Russians call WWII " including the victory in the battle on the Volga, was not achieved thanks to the 'military genius' of Stalin ... but thanks to the heroic resistance of our people," he was quoted by Interfax as saying.

Google Stock Hits All-Time High

Should have bought sooner. (AP Photo/dapd, Virginia Mayo)

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Google's stock climbed to a new high Friday as Wall Street's best known indexes approached record territory, too.

The shares of the Internet search leader peaked at $775.32 in afternoon trading, eclipsing the stock's previous record of $774.38 reached in early October. The company, which is based in Mountain View, Calif., went public at $85 in August 2004.

Meanwhile, the Dow Jones industrial average crossed 14,000 Friday for first time since October 2007 ? near the bellwether's all-time high of 14,164. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index, which includes Google Inc., also is flirting with a new record.

Google's stock has been on the upswing since the company reported its fourth-quarter earnings 10 days ago. The results showed Google is still enjoying strong growth in Internet advertising.

Turkey: Embassy bombers cling to Cold War ideology

ISTANBUL (AP) ? Long before al-Qaida, when the Cold War gripped the world, leftist terrorists staged spectacular attacks in a doomed campaign to overthrow governments and impose their vision of a socialist utopia. The bulk of these extremist groups eventually drifted into oblivion, gutted by police pressure, internal rifts and an ideology undercut by communism's fall.

In Turkey, one cult-like group didn't get the memo.

Decades on, a band of outlaws wedded to this antique brand of militancy has been blamed for a suicide bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara that also killed a Turkish guard and seriously wounded a television journalist, the latest in a grim sequence of bombings and assassinations that failed, over and over, to bring the triggermen closer to their revolutionary goals.

Some analysts have speculated that the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C, carried out Friday's attack in anger at NATO member Turkey's cooperation with Washington, the old "imperialist" nemesis of leftist radicals everywhere, in efforts to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. The consensus is that the group is a throwback, deaf to historical shifts and political nuance, almost a novelty if it weren't so deadly.

Howard Eissenstat, a Turkey expert at St. Lawrence University in the United States, said the group is trapped in an "ideological time warp" and falls "outside of our comfortable narratives," meaning actions such as the embassy bombing might have only a glancing connection with wider, contemporary events and trends.

"They've cut themselves off from the wider society and they're talking to each other in a soundproof box that allows them to think of themselves as having more connections" to public aspirations, Eissenstat said. He wryly observed that the group's clunky name and Turkish acronym, rather a mouthful, are emblematic of just how out of touch it is with the modern, message-conscious world.

The group's flags include the hammer and sickle and red star designs, which date from the Russian revolutionary era in the early 20th century.

The DHKP-C claimed responsibility for the embassy attack in a statement posted on a website linked to the group, saying bomber Ecevit Sanli carried out the act of "self-sacrifice."

How is it that groups like Germany's Baader-Meinhof gang and the Red Brigades of Italy became extinct while the DHKP-C clung to its quixotic mission, even if it has been relatively quiet in recent years? The reason may lie in Turkey's polarized history: big battles between left- and right-wing cadres in the 1970s that subsided after a military coup, virulent anti-Americanism that reached a peak around the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, the loose interplay among Kurdish and other militant groups, and lingering suspicions about alleged reactionaries embedded deep in the old state apparatus.

Turkey today is a rising power with a far more stable political landscape, a robust economy that allows it to project soft power beyond its borders and a bid to join the European Union that, while stalled, still represents its outsized ambitions.

"The Turks will take this to some degree as a slap in the face because they'll feel that things like this shouldn't happen in their country," James F. Jeffrey, U.S. ambassador in Turkey between 2008 and 2010, said of the embassy attack.

The story of the bomber, 40-year-old Sanli, personalizes a besieged yet hardened group that still apparently finds recruits in urban centers and, according to Turkish officials, collects funds from sympathizers in Europe, where there are large ethnic Turkish communities.

Sanli spent several years in prison on terrorism charges but was released on probation in 2001 after being diagnosed with a hunger strike-related brain disorder. He had fled Turkey, but returned at some point with a fake ID, Interior Muammer Guler said.

NTV, a private broadcaster, said he is believed to have come from Germany, crossing into Turkey from Greece.

Officials said Sanli was arrested in 1997 for alleged involvement in attacks on Istanbul's police headquarters and a military guesthouse, and jailed on charges of membership in the DHKP-C group.

While in prison awaiting trial, Sanli took part in a major hunger strike that led to the deaths of dozens of inmates, according to the Ankara governor's office. The protesters opposed a maximum-security system in which prisoners were held in small cells instead of large wards.

Sanli was diagnosed with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome and released on probation in 2001, following legislation allowing hunger strikers with the disorder to get treatment. The syndrome is a malnutrition-related brain illness that affects vision, muscle coordination and memory and can cause hallucinations.

Officials said Sanli, who was convicted in absentia in 2002, had used 6 kilograms (13.2 pounds) of TNT for the suicide attack and also detonated a hand grenade.

Some Turkish officials have linked the attack to the arrest last month of dozens of suspected members of the DHKP-C group, including some lawyers.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan denied the bombing was related to U.S. support for Turkey's harsh criticism of the regime in Syria, whose civil war has forced tens of thousands of Syrian refugees to seek shelter in Turkey. NATO has deployed six Patriot anti-missile systems to protect Turkey from a possible spillover of the violence. The United States, Netherlands and Germany are each providing two Patriot batteries.

Nihat Ali Ozcan, a terrorism expert at the Ankara-based Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey, said the Syrian regime, which had backed terrorist groups in Turkey, including autonomy-seeking Kurdish rebels, during the Cold War and the 1990s, recently revived ties with these groups.

Eissenstat, the American analyst, was skeptical that the Syrian regime would direct DHKP-C attacks, let alone risk a heavy price for targeting American interests.

"If Syria wants to poke Turkey in the eye, they're not going to do it through these guys, they're going to do it through Kurdish groups," he said. "If you're Syrian intelligence, the last thing you want to do is stir up the Americans."

DHKP-C's forerunner, Devrimci Sol, or Revolutionary Left, was formed in 1978 as a Marxist group openly opposed to the United States and NATO. Attacks included the killing of several Americans, including a retired U.S. Air Force officer.

The group, designated as a terrorist organization by the West, changed its name to DHKP-C in 1994. Two years later, its militants shot dead prominent Turkish industrialist Ozdemir Sabanci and two aides in his office.

Friday's bombing was the second deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic post in five months. On Sept. 11, 2012, terrorists attacked a U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. The attackers in Libya were suspected to have ties to Islamist extremists, and one is in custody in Egypt.

U.S. diplomatic facilities in Turkey have been targeted previously by terrorists. In 2008, an attack blamed on al-Qaida-affiliated militants outside the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul left three assailants and three policemen dead.

Sadik Sanli, the embassy bomber's father, said he hadn't heard from his son in 15 years and that he fought the state out of "ignorance."

"What can I do?" the father told Turkey's Anadolu agency. "He threw himself into the fire. He burned himself as well as me."
