The Spanish Wikipedia doesn't have an article for him, and I'm not about to write one (I don't understand Spanish), neither is there anything about him on Wikimedia Commons. "Oscar Braun + Mexico" gets about 260 Google hits, which I think is not quite enough. I would like to hear from Mexican people if he's really notable or just another organisation leader.

James Truitt was a journalist, born in Chicago, IL and raised in Baltimore, MD. He served as a Naval officer in the Pacific theatre of World War II, then returned to work for the US State Department. He married his first wife, Anne, in September 1947 in Washington, DC. In spring of 1948 he went to work for Life Magazine in New York, then became Life's Washington correspondent. He spent 3 years with Life in San Francisco, then he returned to Washington, DC in May 1960 to become the personal assistant to Phillip Graham at the Washington Post, where he rose to become vice president. He also worked for Time, served as publisher of Art News, and became vice president of Newsweek in 1964.
In 1962 Mary Pinchot Meyer, Cord Meyer's ex-wife) told Truitt that she was having an affair with President Kennedy. Truitt made notes of the conversation, which years later he showed to journalist Jay Gourley. The notes recorded an episode in July 1962 when Mary Pinchot and President John F. Kennedy smoked marijuana.
In early 1963, Truitt helped extricate Phillip Graham from a drunken appearance at a publishers' conference in Arizona. {Deborah Davis, 3rd ed. 1991, p. 154} Graham committed suicide on August 3, 1963. Katharine Graham assumed ownership of the Washington Post.
Later in 1963 the Truitt left the Post and moved to Tokyo as the Japan bureau chief for Newsweek. There, Ann Truitt got news that her Vassar classmate and friend, Mary Pinchot Meyer, had been murdered. Ann called James Angleton and Ben Bradlee to see that Mary's diary was taken care of, per her wishes.
In a few years, the Truitt's returned to Washington and to the Post.
James Truitt's mental health declined, and in 1969 he was declared insane. Bill Bradlee fired him. The settlement included $35,000 for him in exchange for a signed statement that he would not write anything that was "in any way derogatory" of the Washington Post. He divorced and moved to Mexico, where he was re-married to Evelyn Patterson (Truitt).
In March, 1976, Truitt granted an interview to the National Enquirer. He revealed that Mary Pinchot Meyer had an affair with President Kennedy. Mary told him that she was keeping an account of this relationship in her diary. Truitt correctly noted that the diary had been removed by Ben Bradlee and James Angleton after her murder. Initially, Bradlee and Angleton denied the story, but it was soon confirmed by Mary's friends, who spoke to reporters at Time Magazine and the Washington Post, and by others.
James Truitt committed suicide on November 18, 1981, at San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Evelyn later claimed that her husband's papers, including copies of Mary's diary, were stolen by a CIA agent named Herbert Burrows.
His first wife, Anne Truitt, wrote the book Daybook: The Journal of an Artist (1984).

[edit] Rabbi Gedalia Schorr
Rabbi Gedalia Schorr (1910-1979) was a great Talmudic scholar, original and innovative thinker, and a beloved teacher to thousands of students of Torah Vodaath. Many who have never met him learn Or Gedalyahu, a posthumous work which contains only a sample of the lectures he delivered on issues of Jewish thought for over forty years. Attempts have been made to collect his lectures on Talmud. But this has been met without much success. Some of this is because his thought was so profound that few students were able to fully understand him. Moreover, Rabbi Schorr rarely recorded his own thoughts because he was apparently gifted with total recall. Rabbi Nosson Scherman, a scholar in his own right, and a student of Rabbi Schorr, relates that Rabbi Schorr remarked in a casual conversation to a nephew that he had not seen a certain sefer since he had learned it through at the age of nineteen, shortly before his passing at the age of sixty-nine.
Rabbi Nosson Scherman, a student of Rabbi Schorr's, writes: What was so unique about him? One major figure in the Torah world, a person who has been at the center of decision making for decades, put it this way: "He was a gaon in both Nigleh (revealed Torah) and in Nistar (the hidden Torah). What is more, he had a wealth of stories about, and insights into, the great Torah leaders of past generations. He scrutinized a situation through the eyes of Torah and its perspective of history. To say that he was a genius is to tell only part of the story. He was a Torah genius who combined everything that was needed to make life and death decisions."
Rabbi Schorr was well regarded for his brilliance at a young age. Rabbi Meir Shapiro, the famed Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, remarked that Rabbi Schorr had the most brilliant mind he encountered in America, and one of the most brilliant in the entire world. This was when Rabbi Schorr was only nineteen years old. Later, Rabbi Ahron Kotler, the Rosh Yeshiva who Rabbi Schorr venerated as his teacher, remarked that Rabbi Schorr was the "first American gadol." Rabbi Schorr's son notes that his father completed Shas twice before he was married.
He is the only contemporary quoted by Rabbi Shlomo Heiman. Rabbi Schorr was asked to take over Rabbi Heiman's shiur when he was only twenty seven.
Rabbi Schorr was able to lecture on several tractates simultaneously. He was also very keen on teaching tractates and subjects that were not commonly studied in Yeshiva. An important aspect of his worldview was that one must constantly strive for excellence and higher levels of understanding in his learning and understanding of Talmud, machshava, his relationship with God, and personal refinement.
Typically he would say:
G-d says, I have separated you from the nations to be Mine (Vayikra 20:26), to which Rashi comments that if Jews are separate from the nations, they are G-d's people; but if they do not hold themselves unique, they will be prey to Nevuchadnezzar and his ilk. Our essential goal cannot be only to avoid the massacres of Nevuchadnezzar. Rather, it is to fulfill the mission for which we were chosen. The question is not whether the world requires doctors, lawyers, accountants, bricklayers, and mechanics. It does. But we were designated to be G-d's nation - the nation of the Torah. And each individual yeshivah student must recognize that it is his privilege as well as his responsibility to live up to his role as one of those whom G-d wishes to be His.
Such was his emphasis. Students should elevate their own sights, not denigrate others. The goal of the yeshivah was to instill a dedication to Torah study because it made its adherents closer to G-d, not because it is impossible to be a Torah Jew in the professions or business. He was pained by the polarization that began to cause a cleavage between those who chose to be exclusively in G-d's service, and those who sought to keep a foot in the outside world even while maintaining their primary allegiance to the beis midrash. The result of his efforts was imbuing some with heightened aspirations based on a perception of the greatness of Torah, while causing others not to feel alienated despite their choices of careers in other areas.
In the same elevating manner, he urged talmidim to study with all their strength and concentration as well as with all available time: "Learning half the time with full concentration is better than learning all the time with half concentration, because the latter is not truly learning." And: "How can a bachur yawn? Torah study demands interest and enthusiasm; then, there can be no yawning boredom." He would cite the Talmudic passage interpreting the Scriptural verse that describes Benayahu ben Yehoyada as having killed a lion on a snowy day. The Talmud comments homiletically that Benayahu studied all of Toras Kohanim in a short, wintry day. Rabbi Schorr noted the comparison between a man in battle and a scholar taking on a difficult study. "Just as a man fighting a lion, especially in the cold, slippery winter, must give the fray his total concentration, so must a Torah scholar dedicate himself totally in order to emerge victorious in his struggle to master Torah."
Rabbi Schorr did not rely on his genius, alone. He studied Talmud and all areas of Jewish scholarship very deeply and intensively for many years. He was one of the best rounded Gedolim among his peers.
Some of the stories Rabbi Scherman uses to illustrate Rabbi Schorr's character include:
As teacher, Rabbi Schorr went with impoverished students to purchase Pesach outfits for them. He often expressed surprised disappointment at the idea that a rebbe had no obligation to tend to the personal needs of his students.
Twenty-eight years before his passing, he secretly arranged for a successful professional man to "happen to pass by" the store owned by people whose son was a promising high school senior in Torah Vodaath. The boy hoped to remain in the yeshivah, but his parents wanted him to leave for college. Rabbi Schorr felt that a layman could more effectively influence the parents than a Rosh Yeshivah. The visit was successful, but, because he had promised to remain silent, the emissary told no one of his mission until after Rabbi Schorr died. Only then did the former student, now a noted Torah educator, learn of the incident.
Rabbi Schorr was traveling with a professor who had no yeshivah background but who attended a Daf Yomi session every morning. The professor had not been able to attend his shiur, and was attempting to learn the daf on the train. Rabbi 'Schorr asked, "Would you mind if we learned together? I didn't learn today's daf yet, either." Recalling the trip, the professor says, "He surely didn't need me, but he knew I was struggling, so he gave up his time to teach me a blatt Gemara, and made me feel that I was doing him a favor."
Students often needed help in arranging suitable matches, finding positions, and solving myriad other problems - professional, personal, emotional, and financial. He was always ready to help with advice, a telephone call, and personal intervention. Many of those who eulogized him were former students who are now at the top of their professions. A common thread in their appreciations, and in the private conversations of many hundred others, was that he was like a father. One distinguished rabbi, who lost his own mother shortly after Rabbi Schorr's passing, likened the two in terms of his sense of personal loss.
When the beloved cook of Bais Medrash Elyon, Reb Leib Apfeldorfer, passed away, Rabbi Schorr was one of those who escorted the niftar to Kennedy Airport to be taken to Eretz Yisrael for burial. Rabbi Schorr was shocked to learn that the niftar was to remain on a cargo truck unattended until loaded onto the plane by non-Jews. He asked for permission to stay in the truck but was told that El Al security guards ran flashlights across the truck bed when it reached the plane and were authorized to shoot if they came across anyone without clearance, For a suitable "consideration," however, the driver would park the truck so that people with the coffin would not be seen - provided they lie flat on the floor, So the elderly Rosh Yeshivah climbed into the truck with three students, and set aside his dignity for the more glorious task of paying a final honor to a man who had served the yeshiva with loyalty and dedication.
Rabbi Schorr would weave so many allusions and commentaries into his speeches, that only the most erudite talmid chochom could have understood all that he was attempting to say. Rabbi Scherman notes: His regular weekly and pre-holiday shmuessen were dazzling. The reaction of any seasoned scholar who heard him for the first time was invariably one of awe that so much could be compressed into so brief a time: "There is enough content in one shmuess to provide someone else with material for five difficult one-hour lectures." Scriptural verses, Midrash, Ramban, Maharal, Sfas Emes, Reb Tzadok - commentator after commentator, with one verbatim quote after another, streamed forth.
So casual was his style and so involved was he with the ideas he was developing, that the uninitiated thought he spoke without preparation. No, the preparation was there - not only a lifetime of intense study, but forethought for the particular talk. But as he spoke, new flashes of brilliance came to mind. He would often smile at a new thought, sometimes share the thoughts with his audience, sometimes not - and always punctuate his remarks with a touch of wry humor.
He was a perfect illustration of one of his major themes. He often cited Mabit, Reb Tzadok, and others who explain that the reason it was forbidden the commit the Oral Law to writing was because paper cannot capture the living process of a teacher transmitting knowledge through the agency of his personality. The essence of a human being cannot be put on paper; the transcription of his words can never adequately capture the soul which is part of the teaching process. For those who lived through a learning experience with Rabbi Schorr, the best illustration of the concept is the mere thought of seeing his words on paper robbed of the sight and sound of his unique delivery, the total sincerity of his demand that b'nei Torah not be satisfied with "getting by," the eloquent expression that the study of Torah is the utmost privilege...To those who had the wisdom to hear him rather than merely sit before him, those memories are an Oral Torah to which no pen can do justice.
Rabbi Schorr was performed much of the good he did for others in secret. He once said to his family that Hashem is the zocher nishkachos--i.e., one who remembers that which is forgotten (quote usually attributed to Rabbi Elimelekh of Lizhensk, the Noam Elimelekh). In this vein, he would say that one must remember his sins and forget his good deeds.
Rabbi Scherman writes: An examination of his public career reveals one characteristic that was at once a stamp of greatness and its mask. Call it modesty, call it self-effacement, call it disinterest in fame - whatever its name, he displayed a total disregard for the minimal marks of status with apparent indifference to his position on a program or at a dais, the honor accorded him at a wedding or a bris; what did it matter whether or not he received personal credit, as long as G-d was served, the community benefited, and an individual uplifted? It was thus all too easy to think that because he put his friendly arm around a shoulder and was a friend, that he need be treated merely as a friend. Indeed, such was his wish; but it often resulted in many of us not recognizing his greatness, and as a result we may well have deprived ourselves and our communities of the benefits of his greatness.
It was said of the Chofetz Chaim that his piety was so great that it obscured his scholarship. And it was said of Reb Chaim Brisker that his scholarship was so great that it obscured his piety. Of Rabbi Schorr we may justly say that his brilliance was so dazzling that it obscured his dedication to study; and his humility was so profound that it obscured his greatness.
Perhaps he wrote his own epitaph. Many years ago, he made the one and only notation he ever wrote in his copy of Sfas Emes. It was on one of the last pieces of Chukas, the sidrah of his passing. All he wrote were the words haflei vafele - truly amazing with reference to this thought:
Zos HaTorah: Adam ki yamus ba'ohel - the Torah associates dedicated Torah study with purity from the contamination of death. Just as Torah brings purity, so each Jewish soul - which is a microcosmic part of Torah - brings life, and hence purity, to the otherwise lifeless and impure clod which is the body. Every word and letter of the Torah has within it the capacity to give life to the dead - but we do not know how to utilize that capacity.
Rabbi Schorr's life gave added purity to a continent. It provided a precedent and set a standard. If we take for granted America's capacity to produce Torah greatness, if Chassidic youths study Lithuanian lomdus in machshavos haTorah, in good measure it is because the Divine plan placed him in America to bequeath it his capacity for life.

Miami Lakes Educational Center[1] is a dual-system Vocational/Technical school in Miami Lakes, Florida, offering Vocational classes to adult students and a fully-functional high school during the day. The principal is James V. Parker and oversees both the adult division and high school division.
[edit] Adult Division
Miami Lakes Technical Educational Center (as it was known back then) opened in February of 1976, serving approximately 400 students. Since then, the school has grown and is known locally to be one of the best Adult Education centers in Miami-Dade County. As of now, it serves approximately 2000 adult students and offers over 30 courses in various vocational programs including architectual drafting, computer programming, medical assisting, and more. Classes are also available for adults seeking to get their GED.
[edit] High School
In 1998, construction began on a secondary high school that would serve students locally and give them the opportunity to study in one of the many career choices that the school offered. When it was opened, it was known as "New High School 2," and after going through a few name changes was identified as Miami Lakes Educational Center.
To attend, one must apply to the high school and pick one of the "academies" and "strands" the high school offers. Some qualifications one must meet to enter the high school are good attendance in your previous school, a GPA of at least 2.0, and good behavior.
MLEC has a membership of approximately 1500 students and is one of the smallest high schools in the Miami Dade Public Schools System. The high school colors are Teal and Black and the mascot is the Jaguar, although the high schools have no official sports teams.
In the 2005-2006 school year, the high school was officially approved to include another academy, which was the Cambridge Academy. This academy offers much more advanced career strands than the rest, and the qualifications for it are higher than for the other academies.
[edit] Academies and Strands
1. Cambridge Academy
Offers the strands of Engineering, Forensic Science, and Journalism.
2. Academy of Communications and Entertainment
Offers the strands of Drafting Technology, TV Production, Sound Engineering, Graphic Design, Printing and Graphic Communications, Technical Theatre, and Radio Broadcasting.

[edit] High School Controversies
When the school opened in the fall of 2000, the original mascot was the Wizard. However, many of the student's religious parents protested this "demonic" mascot, and the mascot was then changed to the Jaguar.
Another complaint, coming from the students, is the lack of athletic activities in the school. A large majority of the high school students complain of the lack of sports, and say that they would rather go to a school that has athletic events than

The Nukak indigenous people live between the Guaviare and Inírida rivers, in the depths of the tropical humid forest, on the fringe of the Amazon basin, in Guaviare Department, Republic of Colombia. They are nomadic hunter-gatherers with seasonal nomadics patterns and in addition they practice a shifting horticulture in small scale.
[edit] Hunting
Nukak are expert hunters. The men hunt using blowguns, with darts coated with curare "manyi", a poison made from up to different plants (Curarea sp.). They hunt specially the diverse species of monkeys (Alouatta spp., Cebus spp., Saimiri sp., Lagothrix spp., Ateles sp., Saguinus spp., Callicebus torquatus), and birds (ducks Cairina moschata, chachalacas, guans, curassows, Psophia crepitansand toucans). Also they use javelins of Socratea exorrhiza palm wood to hunt two species of peccaries (Tayassu pecari and T. tajacu) and the Cayman sclerops, whose eggs they consume too.

[edit] Language
Nukak people speak a tonal Puinave-Macú language.
[edit] In danger
The Nukak have already suffered the devastation of their population by malaria and flu since their contact with outsiders in 1988; now their lands have been occupied by coca growers, left-wing guerillas, right-wing paramilitaries and the Colombian army. The Indians have therefore become embroiled in Colombia's quasi-civil war.

Opened in September 1976, Monsignor Doyle Catholic Secondary School is a Catholic High school currently educating students from Grades 9 to 12. The school is located in Cambridge, Ontario and is the smallest catholic secondary school of the Waterloo Catholic District School Board. Cambridge is served by 3 Catholic Secondary Schools (Ecole Secondare Catholique Pere Rene de Galinee, Monsignor Doyle CSS, St. Benedict CSS).
In the past, it originally served as a junior high school educating students from grades 7 to 10. In the mid 80's catholic education received full funding and all the catholic junior highschools in Waterloo Region were converted to traditional high schools teaching grade 9 - OAC.
The schools teams are called the "Mustangs". The school motto was "Growing With Dignity", but in current years was changed to "We Walk The Path Of Learning, Faith, And Respect Together". The school colours are Burgandy, White and Gold.
The school has several feeder schools. They include Holy Spirit School, St. Ambrose School, St. Anne School, St. Augustine School, St. Brigid School, St. Francis School, St. Gregory School, St. Patrick School (Now Closed), and St. Vincent de Paul School.

[edit] Matt Harfield
Noted flamboyant Birmingham born filmmaker made a name for himself during the housing crisis of 2001 by documenting himself taking hecurlean amounts of speedballs, and surviving. It was this film, titled "Playing ball in the Harfield", which eased tensions throughout the bureaucratic debacle and became a sometimes underappreciated part of the cult drug film canon.
