ESSAY ... Jamie JAMES
The Twain Meet in Bali
The much-travelled isle has produced surprisingly little fine literature by foreigners, says JAMIE JAMES
KIPLING had it all wrong: East and West have been meeting with adulterous frequency since Marco Polo. The romance of the East is an imperishable element of the Western imagination—mainly as a negative touchstone, showing the West what it is by inventing an alluring fantasy of what it is not. This phenomenon, indelibly labelled Orientalism by Edward Said in his book of that name, began, like so much else, with the Greeks, who created a myth of their geopolitical adversary Persia as a land of tyranny and effeminate luxury, the better to define the Greeks' conception of themselves as the models of rational, manly virtue. Western literature ever since has been well-populated by images of the Oriental as inscrutable, wily, exquisite, and cruel, created by storytellers who never ventured east of Istanbul at the furthermost.
Yet Westerners who spent years or whole lives in Asia have fared no better. The most admired European and American writers who have explored what used to be called the Far East—Kipling, Maugham and, above all, Conrad—took as their theme the strange mongrel world of the white people who came to Asia to live. They did so because they realised instinctively that no amount of observation would enable them to inhabit the minds of Asian characters as persuasively as they could those of the Western interlopers (which is, of course, what Kipling meant by the twain never meeting).
Yet everyone who comes to Asia and stays, however much we may learn and live, will always retain at the core a sense of the romantic mystery it evoked in us before we made the first journey here. When I came to Bali to live in 1999, almost the first thing I did after I found a house was to write a novel about the place called Andrew & Joey: A Tale of Bali. I told my story about two American men who come to Bali for a year through the e-mail messages of the protagonists and their friends back home, thus making all the voices Western. The book is wholly ironic: the reader knows from the start that every observation about the island is suspect, if not dead wrong. A slick dodge, perhaps, but it kept my hands clean.
In the 20th century, Bali became one of the most well-travelled places in the "Orient," yet the number of imaginative literary works by foreigners who have sought to see Bali through Balinese eyes is surprisingly small. In fact, there are two.
Vicki Baum, an Austrian Jew, made her name and her fortune in 1929 with a potboiler called People in a Hotel, which was made into the film Grand Hotel (best known for giving Greta Garbo the line, "I want to be alone"—that and winning the Oscar for Best Picture in 1932). Baum wrote dozens more novels, but the only other one that still lives (in English translation) is A Tale from Bali, an account of the Puputan of 1906, when more than a thousand Balinese royals committed suicide in the face of an invasion by the Dutch rather than surrender.
Baum's novel, published in 1937 after a visit to Bali two years earlier, is based largely on reading and study, giving the book a dry, quasi-anthropological tone, which is surprisingly agreeable: the lyricism of most Western writing about Asia gets out of hand. She propels her story forward with clockwork persistence and makes her Balinese characters come to potboilerish life, but the most remarkable quality of the novel is that Baum never condescends to her material. She writes of spells and gods and caste without a hint of rationalist disapproval, or, worse, the simpering approval of the wise adult charmed by the wee brown folks' winning ways.
The other book is The Painted Alphabet, a novel by Diana Darling, published in 1992. Darling's story, based on an ancient Balinese myth, is about brothers, witches, sex, madness, and much more, and like all good myths it's far too complicated to be summarised here. An American sculptor who previously lived in Paris, Darling came to Bali in 1980 and hasn't strayed far since. In The Painted Alphabet, she doesn't bother too much about "penetrating the Asian mind" and thus arrives at the human core of the myth, which lets its Balineseness shine through clear as daylight. It's difficult to analyse how she does it, for the book itself partakes in some measure of the magic she writes about.
Shockingly, neither of these books is in print. Surely the world could do with two less glossy picture books of tony villas and gardens to make way for reissues of these interloper masterpieces. Since 1937, the best book about Bali by a foreigner has been Island of Bali, by the Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias, who grasped the place profoundly and comprehensively. This learned, beautifully written book comprises every aspect of Balinese culture, from the divine dance to the complex social structure to a recipe for perfect roast suckling pig, illustrated with exquisite line drawings, paintings and photographs by the author's wife, Rosa Covarrubias.
But that's another story.
JAMIE JAMES left his post as a staff critic for The New Yorker in 1999 and moved to Bali to concentrate on writing about Asia. Since relocating to Indonesia, he has published two novels, Andrew & Joey: A Tale of Bali and The Java Man. In June 2008, Hyperion published his seventh book, The Snake Charmer: A Life and Death in Pursuit of Knowledge, a biography of the American herpetologist Joe Slowinski. James's previous nonfiction books include The Music of the Spheres and Eccentrics: A Study in Sanity and Strangeness. He writes on travel and culture for such international magazines as The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Condé Nast Traveler, National Geographic Adventure and DestinAsian, and major American newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times.

Gears of War – Review
Xbox 360
Review by maximumbarmage
Reviewed: 02/26/07
All hype and graphics
From the moment the Xbox 360 was announced, Gears of War was touted as the biggest game forthcoming for the console, supposedly even more so than Halo 3. We were led to expect an incredible looking experience that did nothing less than 'revolutionize gaming'. This proved to be a lot of hot air from Epic, as usual.
There's no getting away from it, we were promised a lot from this one, and sadly, it delivered on only one score: it's graphics.
There's no disputing how fantastic this game looks. It has some of the most detailed visuals you'll likely ever lay eyes on, with exceptionally detailed characters and backdrops and satisfyingly gory enemy explosions as well as some impressively sized monsters to battle. It looks awesome. Heck, it's arguably the best looking game made to date, so impressive is it's level of detail. However, these incredible graphics seem to come at a price, in particular with regard to the amount of depth and length the game has on offer.
The levels in Gears of War are actually rather narrow and 'on-rails' for pretty much the entire game, with the occasional large area thrown in there to break up the action with a big shoot out or boss fight, but these are ultimately still herding your characters in one direction for the duration of the game. Even the rare 'choose your path' moments are rather deceptive, as the paths are usually running so close beside each other and are so similar that there's little point in the game actually giving you the option in the first place, other than to make the multiplayer a little more interesting.
There's even a rather pathetic 'driving' level thrown in there for no apparent reason that seems to have been tacked on at the last minute. It involves having to drive around a rather tiny area of the city while being pursued by the killer crows that you face throughout the game, and basically all you do is drive, stop, shoot crows with lights for a few seconds, drive, repeat. Think of the Batmobile levels from Batman Begins with added stopping and you'll have the idea.
The game has great looks, yes, but unfortunately those lush visuals come with the price of being wrapped around a series of sparsely populated, lifeless and cold series of locations that are often far too antiseptic and empty, with scattered objects like furniture adding nothing to proceedings as they break apart in rather poor looking fashion(Starts off looking pristine, shoot it once and it breaks, with random damage unrelated to where you shot it appearing on it) compared with the physics involved in how the characters and enemies come apart throughout the game. See that car near the start you can shoot until it explodes? It's the only one in the game I could see, as the rest of the vehicles in the game are completely indestructible and cannot be interacted with. Rather odd I thought.
In addition to this, there was one moment that stuck with me: The large monster with the cannon on it's back you have to reach your APC to get away from near the end of the game. It looked rather impressively nasty, and I was hoping to see it appear again, but no. It was in there for no real reason than to offer a flashy cutscene, when it would probably have made a far more impressive final boss than the one the game has, I believe.
Now that the graphics are out of the way, lets get down to the gameplay, which is little more than a mishmash of other games that have come before it, more often than not doing what Gears of War does much much better. In particular the mighty Resident Evil 4.
Epic made it clear they were getting many of their ideas for Gears of War from RE4 from the off, and it really shows. With several gameplay touches(like the over the shoulder aiming) and set pieces lifted straight from RE4(most notably the 'Berserker' monsters that react to sound, lifted straight from RE4 and shoved into GoW with few differences in rather shameless fashion). The 'hide' function also, is very hit and miss as you use the same button to press against a wall or other hideworthy location and dash/dodge, which makes it all too easy to hit a wall and stick to it when you're trying to dodge, or to jump over a wall when you're trying to dash off to the saide to other cover. It may not happen to you often, true, but it happened enough to annoy me during my initial run through of the game.
Another gripe is your team mates in the game. This is supposed to be a squad based shoot em up, but you can only give your squad the most basic commands in the game. There's no scope for deep, ingenious strategy here, just 'fire', 'cover' and little else. Play it with a friend if you want a real squad based experience from this game, otherwise, you'll find you won't be spending a whole lot of time trying to get your team members to be of any real use in this game, as they aren't really, unless you're using them as cannon fodder or cover of course. It's a rather weakly implemented part of the game given it's supposed to be a squad based shoot em up, yes, but honestly, itprobably wouldn't have added a whole lot to the game if it was more deep than it is. If you really must play a squad based shooting game, you'll no doubt already be aware of the many superior alternatives that are available in the genre to this. Play one of those instead.
To be fair though, the game IS passable if you're a hardcore shooter fan looking for a fix. Yes, it offers absolutely nothing new or even as good as some past games in the genre you'll have played, but it's arguably not BAD in what it does do if you get down to it, but while I was playing, I had a very real feeling of 'yeah, so what?', as I'd felt like I'd been here so many times before, it was hard to work up the enthusiasm to keep going at times. Make no mistake, this is unoriginality at it's most pure. Far more so than is usual for this type of game in fact. So if do go in, be sure you're expectations aren't overly high, as mine had been raised to be by months of MS and Epic hype.
Onto the story of the game, it's pure b-movie trash involving alien monsters from underground attacking a human populated world for reasons that are barely touched upon, cue poorly voiced identikit tough guy marines who have to grunt and shout their way through a wafer thin plot to make Paul Verhoven blush that even has the audacity to end on a cliffhanger that gives virtually no sense of closure or satisfaction with the climax. It's like Halo 2's ending all over again. Which also brings me to the issue of the game's length: barely six hours at a push, which is less than a third of the time it took me to finish Resident Evil 4. If I was given the choice of a beautiful, but shallow and unpolished title, or a slightly less beautiful but large, engaging and exceptionally polished title, I'd take to the latter every time.
Lastly, I'll touch on the multiplayer aspect of the game. Well, I say aspect, but it's more or less what this game was made for, as much of the gameplay seems to have been designed to accomodate a multiplayer squad shoot-em-up than it has a single player experience.
The campaign mode, admittedly, is a lot more fun when played through with a friend, as it is quite gratifying to take on the enemy with actual squad mates as opposed to AI soldiers who you can only give the most basic of commands to. The 'death matches' and 'vs' games are good for a few more hours of fun as well, but these for me highlighted the shortcomings of the cover system more than the single player did if anything, and really, I felt so shortchanged by the single player mode in this game by the time I got around to the multiplayer, I could only bring myself to spend a relatively minor amount of time on Live with this title compared to some other, better multiplayer games out there like Call of Duty 2 or 3.
Overall, the hype around this game built up expectations to ridiculous levels, and it failed to deliver on just about every front. I was promised a gaming revolution, so I don't think I'm being unreasonable in expecting a game that was at the very least better than a certain other title I was playing two years prior on my Gamecube, but I didn't even get that much.
If you want pretty, you've come to the right place, if you want fun, you can probably wring a fair amount out of this if you like this sort of game, but if you want depth, inventiveness, creative level design, interesting plot, passable voice acting, intuitive controls or a polished gaming world... you probably won't find it here.
Perhaps I'm being harsh, but considering how much I paid for this game for how long it lasted and what I was led to expect of it, I think I have every right to be.
Rating: 2.5 - Playable

Languages Across The Curriculum:
An Overview of Course Models
Bruce T. Holl
Trinity University LAC Workshop
May 18, 2009
San Antonio, Texas
- A full version of this report, including a list of Works Cited, will be available on the web site LanguagesAcrossTheCurriculum.com
- My intention today is to provide an overview of the various LAC models that have been used (or in some cases proposed) at schools and universities around the world.
- There are generally two approaches to LAC. Some institutions have chosen one model and used it exclusively.
- Others have created courses based on many models or combinations of models, on the assumption that any use of language outside of the traditional language/literature format furthers the goal of using languages across the curriculum.
- Trinity is in the latter category, which (as I'll explain) is in keeping with current trends in higher education and has even garnered us some national recognition, so I urge prospective teachers to keep an open mind about which mode r models might be applicable in their teaching.
I American LAC Models
The one credit course in the target language, taught in conjunction with a three credit English-language course.
- This is the model that at one time was used most frequently at Trinity.
- The same teacher can teach both courses, or a teacher from the foreign language department can teach the adjunct course in collaboration with a colleague from another department.
- It includes one of my own courses: A one-credit course in Russian appended to a three-credit English-language culture course entitled "The Peoples of Russia."
- The English course deals with Russia, Siberia, the Caucasus and the Jews of Russia
- The one credit course includes a reading or readings from each area and a meeting once a week, conducted in Russian, to discuss the readings.
- The one credit course in a department other than Modern Languages and Literatures, taught in conjunction with a three credit content-based course in the foreign language department
- This is a model suggested by Frank Ryan of Brown University that to my knowledge has never been taught (Next Steps 24)
For example, Sarah Burke, Professor of Russian at Trinity, teaches a three-credit History of
the Russian Language course that might include a one-credit adjunct linguistics course.
The parallel (or interlocking) course model
- According to Gail Riley of the American University and Frank Ryan of Brown, this model "consists of two independent courses, one in a language and the other in another discipline … Students enroll in both courses, and faculty collaborate to ensure some overlap in texts, activities and expected outcomes" (Riley &Ryan, Next Steps 22).
The three credit stand-alone course in the target language
- This is course for advanced students taught entirely in the target language
- Dr. Dante Suarez of Trinity's Business Administration Department teaches such a course entitled "Haciendo negocios en Latinoamérica"
The three credit stand-alone bilingual course.
- Dr. David Spener of Trinity's Sociology Department has developed such a course.
- The course is entitled Relaciones Frontieras EE.UU.-México/Mexico-U.S. Border Relations.
- The course requires the same level of Spanish as our upper-division Spanish courses.
- Readings and discussions are in both languages.
- The rationale for the course is to provide, as he says, a "transborder perspective," which requires both languages.
The one credit stand-alone course in the target language
- A number of these course have been taught at Trinity.
- Dr. Carlos Ardavin (Spanish), Dr. Rita Urquijo-Ruiz (Spanish), and Dr. Nanette LeCoat, (French), among others, have developed versions of this model.
- Dr. Bladi Ruiz (Spanish) Dr. Kelly Lyons (Biology) have received grants to develop new courses this summer
- Dr. Ardavin's course is an interdisciplinary survey of the history and culture of the Dominican Republic.
- Dr. Martinez's course is a survey of Latin American history though music.
- Dr. LeCoat's course is an examination of French history through historical films.
The one credit introductory language course for students in other disciplines
- This includes the course I currently offer, "The Basics of Russian Language and Culture."
Topics include the Cyrillic alphabet; the basics of Russian grammar and pronunciation; identifying the title, author and subject of a scholarly article; keyword recognition in texts; basic conversation skills; word processing in Russian; Russian web resources including databases and library catalogues; citing Russian sources in English-language papers; the geography and placenames of Russia; and Russian name conventions and forms of address.
- The purpose of the course is twofold: to help students who need some rudimentary Russian for their research; and to provide an introduction to the language for students who are considering taking a traditional four-skills course.
- Dr. Stephen Field (Chinese) has taught a course in Classical Chinese using this model
The English-language course with optional readings and discussions in one or more target languages
- This is popular model at LAC pioneer SUNY-Binghamton (see Translation Perspectives X).
- It includes several variants:
- LAC students substitute some target-language readings for required readings in English.
- LAC students read texts in the original while other students read translations of the same texts.
- LAC students do a group project in the target language.
The English-language course in which everyone reads works in English that incorporate some elements of one or more target languages
- An example of this model is a Mythology class that uses "texts which incorporate the original languages, words untranslatable into English" (Translation Perspectives X 140).
The English Literature course that employs foreign-language translations.
- There is a published description of a Shakespeare course that uses this model in extra meetings for students who know French (Language and Content 87).
- The students compare the translations of sonnets with each other and with the original.
- According to the description, "facilitators report that these students, when comparing translations, proceed more thoughtfully than they do when reading English alone, and they seem to take note of figurative language with a heightened consciousness."
Independent study
- LAC credit can be attached to any university course by means of independent study for individual students.
The Foreign Language Immersion Program (Translation Perspectives VII 103, 110-111).
- Students take all courses in the target language during a given semester
- This program, as a LAC model, originated at the University of Minnesota.
- It is the basic format of summer language institutes, although it can be used during the academic year as well.
The Joint Degree program
- Students at the University of Rhode Island graduate in five years with a joint degree in German and Engineering (Spinelli, "Languages Across the Curriculum: A Postsecondary Initiative" 7)
The Internship
- Students complete an internship using the target language either abroad or at home where opportunities exist (Language and Content 106).
Service Learning
- Service Learning in general is currently a popular addition to the college curriculum
- At Trinity the LAC program at the 2003 workshop heard a presentation from two representatives of local volunteer organizations, who suggested how our students might combine their study of Spanish with service to the community.
- Some Trinity students have subsequently done this.
The English-language course in which the teacher introduces some target-language vocabulary (Next Steps 22).
- In all of my literature in translation classes and my English language culture class I teach the roots and original meanings of words like "perestroika" and "pogrom."
- There is a published description of a course on Kant, with no German-Language prerequisite, that includes the analysis of key words in terms of "roots, semantic range, and Kantian usage" (Language and Content 86).
II CBI models for language classrooms (from Stryker and Leaver, Content-Based Instruction and Kecht and von Hammerstein, Languages Across the Curriculum)
- Textbooks are supplemented with authentic materials and ultimately replaced either by a content-oriented textbook or authentic materials (Stryker and Leaver 33)
- Languages classes are organized around themes (Stryker and Leaver 55)
- Institutions offer two tracks for language-learners: skills-based and content-based (Stryker and Leaver 59)
- Content-specific proficiency tests are developed (Kecht and von Hammerstein, 106).
- The "preview-review" model, where language teachers attend lectures in an English-language course, then give "follow-up" lessons in the target language. (Stryker and Leaver 107).
- Content specialists give guest lectures in the target language in a language course (Kecht and von Hammerstein xxii).
- Language class include "instruction units" to enhance museum and library visits (Kecht and von Hammerstein 24)
III LAC and Language Program Articulation (From Barrette and Paesini, Language Program Articulation and Kecht and von Hammerstein, Languages Across the Curriculum)
- Intermediate and Advanced languages classes are articulated along disciplinary lines (Barrette and Paesini 65).
- Students keep language-learning portfolios throughout their language study that include material from lack courses and "reflections" on the applicability of their language study for other disciplines (Barrette and Paesini 143).
- The same text is introduced at various points in a curricular sequence (Kecht and von Hammerstein 27).
IV European Models & Approaches (From Grenfell, Modern Languages Across the Curriculum)
- In Europe LAC is generally referred to as Modern Languages Across the Curriculum (MLAC) or Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
- LAC at present is gaining in popularity in Europe (where it has a long history) as a result of recent initiatives to increase multilingualism among residents of EU countries.
- The following models and approaches were taken from Grenfell, Modern Languages Across the Curriculum, as noted on the list of Works Consulted
- The book includes essays by teachers from a number of European countries and it describes CLIL programs not only from colleges but from grade schools and high schools as well
A Immersion Programs
- "Specialist Language Colleges," for which CLIL has been proposed (4)
- "Parity Structure": Half of the sessions are in one language, half in the other (56)
- General Education/common curriculum courses in the target languages (118)
- Trilingual Baccalaureate (118)
B Teacher-Intensive Models
- Language pedagogy training for subject teachers (58, 96, 111, 123)
- Subject training for language teachers (103, 120)
- Content teachers teach vocabulary and grammar as part of the content course (43, 65, 84)
- Content and Language teachers teach classes together (81)
- LAC component in Interdisciplinary courses with two or more subject specialists (105)
- "Role reversal": Qualified students receive training and help lead the course (123)
- Students are assessed for both content knowledge and language skills (127)
C Multilingual Classrooms
- Teach in the target language and repeat in the native language (43)
- Allow "translanguaging," i. e., code-switching (62, 94-6, 105-6).
- Language teacher visits once a week with 15-30 minute language activity (94)
- Outside lectures, films and seminars in the target language (103)
- LAC modules are distributed throughout the length of the course (100)
- Varying degrees of target language use within a given lesson (105)
D Inclusive Courses
- Include all levels, not just top language-learners (66, 80, 122, 126)
- Design "Feel-good, can-do" courses to promote self-esteem and language awareness (91)
- Group projects, independent study (84)
- Students help to plan the course (123)
V LAC and Citizenship Education (Oster and Starkey, Citizenship and Language Learning)
- Language teaching is viewed in the context of Education for Democratic Citizenship or EDC (24)
- By and large these are languages courses with interdisciplinary subject matter aimed at teaching democratic values.
- Many of the examples are from English classes in Europe, Latin America and Asia
Courses described in the literature range from objective presentations of every side of an issue or issues to outright advocacy of particular positions. Examples:
- In a language course students study "human rights instruments" in the target language (32)
- Teachers promote controversy in the language classroom as a means of stimulating discussion, with students defending all sides of an issue (34)
- Teachers add a political dimension to traditional language-teaching subjects like sports, education or future plans (36)
- A multi-topic world cultures course in the target language that explores topics like local languages, place names, and religions for a variety of countries.
- Students attend seminars and other out-of-class activities, including volunteer work, in the target language (67-8).
- Language is taught not as a language of commerce but as an instrument for "talking back and in reclaiming agency as the right to co-write history" (91(.
- Students complete citizenship related projects (107) or tasks (121) in the target language.
VI News Developments
A There is a new model at Trinity
A content course, "Brazilian Popular Culture," has been developed by Rosana Blanco-Cano, that is taught in a second language (Spanish) but includes instruction in a third language (Portuguese).
B MLA Report
The Modern Language Association, an influential professional organization for teachers of English, linguistics, and modern languages, has issued a report that contains a number of recommendations for modern language departments in particular and universities in general:
- Replace the traditional two-tiered language/literature structure in modern language departments
- Cross disciplinary boundaries
- Do not try to replicate native speakers but rather aim for "translingual and transcultural competence," i. e., "critical language awareness, interpretation and translation, historical and political consciousness, social sensibility, aesthetic perception."
- Institute a unified four-year curriculum with transcultural content
- Include one path through literature to the major, along with other alternatives
- Use FLAC models such as team-taught linked courses and one credit language modules
- Aim for a greater variety of specialties among teachers in language departments
- Hire linguists and language acquisition specialists
- Have standards for language learners
- Encourage language requirements for other disciplines
- Enforce language requirements in Ph.D programs
- Enhance graduate training in languages and languages teaching
- Encourage foundations to fund language learning
- Promote the learning of new languages among faculty members
- Strengthen connections with k-12 programs
- Encourage gifted language learners
- Increase the number of languages
- Promote programs for heritage learners
- Promote translation and interpretation
- Develop intensive courses
- Invite second-language guest speakers
- Make sure campus media include second-language material
- Promote contacts between instructors from different languages
C Goucher College IICA program
- Goucher College as instituted a new program predicated on the hypothesis, which research has substantiated, that study-abroad and content-based instruction improve language learning.
- They have developed an "Integrated Intensive Course Abroad," or IICA, which incorporates several of the models mentioned above.
- The course has three components: a seven-week content course on campus, a three-week study-abroad course, and a summative course on campus.
- Students received 8 credits for the course
- The program requires students to continue their language study beyond the minimum required for graduation.
- It requires cross-training of instructor
- It was funded by a grant that covered release time for instructors to complete this cross-training
- One course, in the education department, required a service learning experience during the study-abroad phase, in keeping with department requirements for other courses
- The college is considering a two-year cross-training program
D NEH assessment of LAC
- Thomas M. Adams, a senior program officer at the National Endowment for the Humanities (which funded many early LAC initiatives including ours), has written an assessment of the state of LAC today.
- He notes the importance of "personal chemistry and the curricular landscape of a particular campus."
He suggests "languages in (other) disciplines" and the "'connections' standard,"
including but not limited to LAC models, as the way to promote growth in language teaching today
- He notes the axiom "content from the beginning and languages to the end"
- He praises the "myriad variants" of the LAC model
- He promotes the term CLAC, meaning Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum
- While noting that institutional support is flagging at some universities, he cites Trinity as one of the outstanding and most fully developed programs in the country.
- He cites several new LAC models that he has come across:
- Dickinson College: Every foreign language program is linked to a program in international studies
- U. of Mississippi: A degree in international studies requires a certain score on the ACTFL proficiency exam. The program pays for the test and assigns a language mentor to each major.
- UNC-Chapel Hill: A German history seminar will not admit language-deficient students and and requires the ongoing study of Slavic languages that are relevant to the students' research
- Pacific Lutheran University: Grant-funded student-faculty as a catalyst for LAC
- UC-Irvine: Use of Spanish in American History courses.

Lay Research Summary
Dr. Chun peng's group has been studying genes that are involved in ovarian cancer development and there resistance to chemotherapy. Recently, they have identified a protein that functions to regulate the healthy growth and development of cells, cyclin g2, as a potent gene which prevents t ...read morehe spreading of ovarian cancer. Interestingly enough, low cyclin g2 levels are associated with poor survival in breast cancer patients. Cancer cells can often change the dynamics of protein regulation and make them different from how other cells function. The researchers can use these differences in cell behavior to identify and target the cancer cells, while avoiding the healthy cells. read less
Scientific Research Summary
Dr. Peng's primary research focuses on the investigating of the TGF-Beta Superfamily of proteins in the ovaries and placenta. She is a leading expert in the field of ovarian cancer and in the molecular basis of complications in pregnancy. Her research has contributed to knowledge of ovarian ca ...read morencer development and chemo-resistance, as well as a pregnancy-related disorder called pre-eclampsia. Dr. Peng's group discovered that a receptor, ALK7, induces cell death in epithelial ovarian cancer cells. They have now discerned that microRNA 376c targets ALK7, inhibiting its expression which allows ovarian cancer cells to thrive. Professor Peng believes that this research is a step in the right direction towards being able to make chemotherapy drugs more effective in the treatment of the disease. Dr. Peng's lab currently uses human ovarian cancer cells, placenta tissue cultures and zebrafish, as well as mouse models. read less

Peng believes that this research is a step towards being able to make chemotherapy drugs more effective in the treatment of the disease. "Further study is needed, but ultimately if we can introduce anti-microRNAs that would lower the level of those microRNAs that make cancer cells resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs, we will be able to make chemotherapy more effective against ovarian cancer," Peng says.

Bank of America May Cut 10,000 Jobs To Recoup Costs
Bank of America plans to lay off 3,500 employees by the end of next month, and potentially even more than 10,000 total, according to The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. It's the latest installment of the 30,000 to 35,000 layoffs the bank announced in 2008, which were to be staggered over three years. At the time, that meant over 10 percent of the bank's employees.
After acquiring mortgage lender Countrywide and investment bank Merrill Lynch earlier in 2008, BoA said it needed to restructure and eliminate duplicate jobs.
But the economy had also soured, and with revenue from mortgages, credit card debt and car loans slashed, and a 64 percent drop in stock value in 2008, BoA needed to cut costs fast.
Already this year, 2,500 BoA employees have lost their jobs. And as other major investment banks shaved their workforces this summer, the industry braced for the North Carolina-based bank to do the same.
"This is kind of like the beginning of a tsunami," Richard Stein, a partner at executive search firm Caldwell Partners, told FINS.com back in July. "You don't get it in one go; it comes in sort of short shockwaves. It started with Goldman, moved to UBS and Credit Suisse. BoA is next."
Shares of BoA have fallen by over half since the beginning of the year.
Much of this is the result of BoA's ill-timed acquisition of Countrywide, which burdened the bank with billions of losses and legal settlements. BoA CEO Brian Moynihan even expressed buyer's remorse last week.
"Obviously there aren't many days when I wake up and think positively about the Countrywide acquisition in 2008," Moynihan said in a conference call with one of the bank's biggest shareholders.
In an internal memo written by Moynihan, he also quoted "the market's expectations" and "new regulatory requirements" as reasons for the restructuring.
"I know it is tough to have to manage through reductions," he wrote, "but we owe it to our customers and our shareholders to remain competitive, efficient and manage our expenses carefully."
It's been a rough month for Moynihan. In July, two law firms filed a class action lawsuit against the bank for failing to pay overtime, and in early August, BoA began paying out a $410 million settlement to customers who were charged overdraft fees. When AIG handed BoA a multibillion dollar lawsuit last week, the bank's shares cracked under the strain.
The financial giant's struggles in the last few years have been a sorry American parable. BoA is the country's largest bank, keeping safe 12.2 percent of all American deposits in 2009, according the Wall Street Journal. On its "heritage" website, the bank boasts that it has "financed and fashioned our economy," and sure enough, BoA's first customers included Paul Revere and John Hancock, and the bank pops up in all our nation's most defining moments, like a very large and corporate Zelig.
It helps that Bank of America has bought, over time, so many of America's banks.
But those giddy days are over for now. BoA has shifted gears since the early 2000s, when it spent $675 million to grow its investment business. Moynihan has said he wants to trim quarterly expenses by $1.5 billion.
The mass layoffs are just another piece of bad news for BoA rank-and-file employees. Even during the heady years before the recession, workers endured the ethical cost of BoA employment, allegedly "encouraged" by the bank to "burden consumers with debt and enroll them in high-fee programs," preying on students, the elderly, and non-English speakers in particular.
In June of last year, BoA workers filed a class action lawsuit against their employer for depriving them of overtime and requiring them to work through unpaid breaks. A mortgage loan officer filed another similar class action lawsuit against the bank in January.
With all these legal fees, it's no wonder BoA is handing out so many thousands of pink slips.

EXCLUSIVE: Looking for Hannah
Second Tipster Identified
He came around the back of the empty house and saw a cut in the treeline, and that's where he entered the woods. He stepped cautiously, noticing a lot of garbage in the brush— broken glass, discarded oil cans— and he didn't come to a stop until the fallen limbs and branches became impassable.
In the trees above him, the black vultures hissed and grunted. The birds were massive, any slight movement on their part seemed to shake the entire tree. The land fell away at his feet, dropping down a hill to the creek bed below. He scanned the woods, not quite sure what he was looking for— maybe some clothes, perhaps a body.
But he didn't see anything like that. An uneasy feeling came over him as he stood there alone in the woods with the silence and the buzzards. He turned around and walked out the way he'd come— back out into the sunlight, got in his car, and drove away.
It takes a lot to make a 20-year veteran Navy SEAL uneasy. A man who'd survived two grueling tours in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. A man who by his own admission has "seen it all."
But standing there in the woods by himself behind the empty house on Old Lynchburg Road, there was no question 73-year-old Al Quist felt nervous, edgy.
"I can't really explain it," he later said, recalling that day. "There was just something about it. I had to get out of there."
That was the morning of Monday, October 6. It was the morning Al Quist had stopped his car and gotten out to have a look around. It was the third day he'd seen an unusual collection of black-headed buzzards on the same property— a place he'd known was empty and un-rented.
Like most everyone else in the area, he'd heard a second-year University of Virginia student had gone missing weeks before. He'd seen the surveillance videos of Hannah Graham on the Downtown Mall from the night she disappeared. He was, like most people, constantly checking the news for updates. He'd kept an eye out as he drove around, looking suspiciously at abandoned homes, wondering about turn-offs into empty fields, and of course looking for any sign of curious activity among the buzzards.
"You see them all the time," he said. "We've lived down in this part of the County since '85. Buzzards can be a common thing. But there was something strange about what I saw on Old Lynchburg Road. It didn't seem normal. There were too many of them. And they were always there in the trees in that same spot whenever I drove by."
Al Quist searched the property by himself until he felt too uneasy to continue. He drove home and a few minutes later, at 9:45am that morning, he called the tip line. "I reported the address, and told them about the buzzards. I also told them I knew the property wasn't rented, so I was concerned it hadn't been properly searched. I offered to meet anyone out there and help. I knew those woods needed to be searched better."
Al was one of two men who alerted law enforcement about that same property. The other, a landscaper named Bobby Pugh, also noticed the unusual vulture activity behind the house. Their tips were two of well over 4,000 that were called in, many of which had reported buzzard activity in rural Central Virginia.
Volunteer searchers with the Chesterfield Sheriff's Department finally got back into those woods on the morning of Saturday, October 18. Sergeant Dale Terry discovered skeletal human remains in the creek bed— remains that were later confirmed to be those of Hannah Graham.
"I wish I'd seen her that morning," Al told me, shaking his head in disappointment. "It would have meant finding her sooner. It would have meant less days her family would have suffered. I really wish I'd seen her then."
Thirty-two year old Jesse Matthew remains behind bars, charged with Hannah's abduction. Prosecutors continue to consider additional charges, as forensic examiners test Hannah's remains for other evidence. Matthew is also charged with three felony counts from a 2005 rape and attempted murder in Fairfax— a case which is linked by DNA evidence to the 2009 abduction and murder of Morgan Harrington.

Negotiators are on the scene right this moment trying to work with the female inside. Mountain vista is blocked up to Rita if you live or commute in the area. Just be aware of police presence. SWAT personnel is reportedly on the scene now. Prayers are going out now in hope that the situation does not escalate into any sort of tragedy. We'll post updates as they happen or follow the story through Fox 5 or us at Twitter.
** Update at 9:45am: The woman is armed. A ten year old boy had exited the home earlier, but a two and three year old pair of children are still in the home.
** Update 10:45am August 28, 2013: The children are safe. The mother apparantly fired shots within the home and police responded by storming the house. She then locked herself in a restroom with one of the children where she then fired through the door, wounding an officer in the leg. Police returned fire and shot the woman in the head. She is expected to survive with her non-life-threatening injuries. The children have minor cuts, bruises, and injuries it appears. Thank goodness. We will update this story with information on any future arrest, charges, bail bond amounts, or medical changes.

The highlights package would give you much of what you need to know in that Arsenal largely dominated the game but were picked off by a couple of Hull attacks and lacked the clinical edge to convert their own chances into goals. The data does a better job at highlighting that dominance:
- Arsenal: 25 shots, 16 SiB, 9 SoT, 65% possession
- Hull: 4 shots, 3 SiB, 4 SoT, 35% possession
The familiar cliché of Arsenal trying to "walk the ball into the goal" might seem applicable based on the data but from my viewing I might suggest they would have been better advised taking less shots, with several efforts - particularly in the first half after the equaliser - falling into the "hopeful" rather than "expectant" buckets. We'll get to player specifics in a minute but Cazorla and Chamberlain seemed to be the main offenders here.
It's generally dangerous to place too much stock in tired narratives about goals breeding confidence but in this case, the timing of Hull's equaliser did really seem key as the 10 minutes before and the immediate period after the Arsenal opener saw the home team camped in the final third with a second (and third) goal seeming a mere formality. Once they settled down, Hull did an okay job holding possession when they needed to, with Huddlestone and Diame controlling things quite well in the middle.
I won't go through every player in these wrap ups, but a couple of points stood out as being worthy of comment:
Danny Welbeck
The consensus among fans still seems to be that Welbeck simply isn't good enough but he equipped himself well here and impressed both in terms of effort and ability. Welback made dangerous runs all day and of all the Arsenal players it was he - the newest arrival - who seemed most in tune with his teammates, linking up nicely on several occasions. That ability to bring others into play suggests he should be able to contribute both goals and assists this year, something that cannot be said for some of his comparatively priced peers. He finished the day with five shots (all SiB) and a couple of created chances and was overall good value for his goal and single bonus point. Other good options exist in his price range of course but I'd still be more than happy sticking with the England man during Arsenal's upcoming run of games.
Alexis Sanchez
This might have been the best Sanchez has played for his new team and he was the best player on the pitch for large portions of the game. Five shots (four in the box) and three created chances underline his attacking threat while his nine penalty box touches and eight dribbles highlight his overall involvement. His goal was great but his assist may have been even better and there's really not too much to say about his production or potential, both of which are predictably excellent. The question is whether his price tag is worth (a) the 0.4-0.7 premium over the two Chelsea options and (b) the 1.5m premium over Ramsey - who returned as a late sub here. With Fabregas' ownership up over 50% and a trickier fixture list on deck, the argument is certainly there to be made, but as always it depends on too many factors to try and sum up in a quick blurb, so we'll leave that for another day.
Santi Cazorla
I don't really know what Cazorla is anymore. Ostensibly a creator, he seems to spend long stretches of games with players running past him and thus not contributing a great deal at either end of the pitch. He ended the game with a lot of touches of the ball (138) and perhaps that's his designed role but then I don't know what that mean for Jack Whilshere who seemed to spend a good amount of this game stepping on Cazorla's toes and gesturing where he thought the Spaniard should be. For the first goal, Wilshere was caught upfield and seemed to expect Cazorla to cover but by the time he did he was stuck behind the powerful Diame and never recovered enough to influence the play. On the second goal Wilshere just simply didn't track Huddlestone - Cazorla was along way away so this must have been miscommunication with someone else - who ran free to chip the ball to Hernandez.
It's perhaps unfair to hold anyone to this standard, but, if you if look at Fabregas and Yaya Toure, it feels like they basically do the job that both WIlshere and Cazorla did here, which frees their teams up to have Oscar/Silva etc play with essentially no responsibility. I don't know if this has any huge impact on fantasy results but it does feel like this Arsenal side are sometimes lacking an extra body going forward and then at the back, often due to the middle men not seeming to commit to either role.
Mohamed Diame
Four goals in five games could well open the floodgates on Diame who has so far apparently gone unnoticed by the masses (2% ownership and a 0.1m decrease in value since his arrival at Hull). As an actual performance I thought he looked great, offering Hull a strong outlet to try and connect the midfield to Hernandez on the rare occasions they were able to hold onto the ball and, of course, he took his goal very nicely indeed. In fantasy terms though he's the classic regression candidate with nine total shots, four SiB and four SoT barely being enough production to support scoring once every eight games nevermind four times. Considering he seems to be fairly secure in the first team and at least offers something going forward he doesn't look like a terrible investment and wouldn't be a player to target selling but there's not enough here to warrant a transfer either unless you're solely look to capitalise on the likely price rise.
Tom Huddlestone
I've been an admirer of Huddlestone for some time but without wanting to sound like a broken record, while the assist was nice it came on literally his only successful pass in the final third and his average position on the pitch was deeper than Per Mertesacker's. His 13 shots for the season suggest he might get the odd goal but with just one from within the box, they're going to be few and far between (SoB are converted at a rate of about 4% across the league). Again, at 5.4m it's hard to be too critical but I'd suggest either going significantly cheaper or trying to sneak into the next price bracket as there just isn't much potential here other than consistent two-pointers.
This was a fairly entertaining game from a neutral perspective but with a fantasy football hat on, I'm not sure we learned a great deal more than we already knew. Arsenal are a good but not great side and without Ozil and Giroud the team really looks like it will pick itself for the next couple of months. That is perhaps unfair on Cazorla who isn't without quality but you have to think that Walcott, Ramsey and Sanchez will provide the ammunition for Welbeck more often that not with Wilshere pushed deeper and Chamberlain and Cazorla sliding to the bench (we might even see Chamberlain getting more time in the deeper middle role, where he has impressed in short spells). All four of those attacking options - along with the budget Chambers - look ownable and picking between the midfield trio needs a deeper dive than we're performing here.
As for Hull, this probably isn't the best game to judge them on as they were pinned deep for long stretches of the contest, but in their defense, they showed the moments of quality needed to score against a reasonably good backline and should enjoy success against weaker opponents in the future. Individually, while we see snippets of that quality, no one has the underlying data to really support anything more than a speculative pick, especially without too many promising fixtures in the next couple of weeks. Diame, Ben Arfa and Hernandez showed they have enough talent to offer hope though and so this remains a team worth keeping in mind when filling out the bottom end of your fantasy squad.
This week we're going to look at another of my favourite teams to watch (Everton) face off against newly promoted Burnley.

Through a modest increase in daily activity, most Americans can improve their health. WALK ACROSS TEXAS is a program that persuades and motivates people of all ages to make the most important change...to get started. It is a fun and flexible way to exercise. The program is simple, free and safe. All you need is a team of eight people to get moving, with one person being designated as the "team captain." The team who walks farthest "across Texas" will win, but everyone who participates will take home a healthy habit - walking for fitness.
Team members report their daily mileage to the team captain, and the team captain reports the individual and team total miles on the following web address: http://walkacrosstexas.tamu.edu or to the Extension office at the end of each week by: telephone (940.627.3341), fax (940.627.8070) or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Teams are not required to walk or ride together, although they may if they desire. Teams simply pool their mileage each week to work toward "walking across Texas". Members may walk, jog, ride a bike, skateboard, roller blade, tread mill, swim, spin and/or run. A large Texas map showing the progress of teams will be in Texas AgriLife Extension, Wise County office, and at other various locations.
So dust off your walking shoes and prepare to join us in this 8 week journey beginning on March 6, and continuing through May 1
Walk Across Texas is sponsored by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. We are looking for captains and team members. Please encourage organizations in which you are involved to participate in this endeavor.
Remember prevention works! Individuals can save a lot of pain, worry and money by avoiding health problems. I encourage you to join the Walk Across Texas Program today.
Call or come by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Wise County office, located at 206 South State, in Decatur or call 940-627-3341 to pick up your Walk Across Texas Team Captain Packet.

Google+ game: Slotomania review
Google+ has another game added to its Gaming Platform and that is Slotomania, the slot machine. This is casino based gambling game from Playtika. Here in this article I would have briefed out all the details which are you need to know about this game as a player. So read it and start playing or gambling online.
Slotomania is a game about slot machine with gambling which is developed by Playtika. Playtika is game development company which was founded in the year 2010. This gaming company is more dedicated in developing and marketing casino based social games. Playtika, later reported that it has been acquired by Harrah's, a casino brand in the Caesars Entertainment Corporation on May 2011. Playtika has developed only two games as off now. They are Slotomania and Farkle Pro where both are based on Casio type games. These games are being initialized on all social websites for its members to play. And now Google+ has also opened its Gaming Platform, where Slotomania is available.
Support system for this game is more useful and user-friendly when compared to other games. The unique feature of this game is that, inside the game panel, you will find a link in the bottom which will directly leads to the Playtika Support System. Here the players can create an account associating their Google+ account information. You will find and create a personal homepage for your help and support.
Game Plan of Slotomania:
In Slotomania players starts to play the game initially with 200 coins. They first get a access to Farm Fortune in the slot machine which features some large, colorful cartoons farming icons such as chickens, barns and pigs. This is usually done on a three by five grid where the rest area are with a set of numbers both on the left and right side of the board which form lines from one side to the other. You can choose directly how much virtual currency you need to bet on a spin and also across how many lines your opposite players wants to hope for a match.
You are allowed to place bets within a specific slot machine where you can gain experience points. Also when you reach a new level, you can find more games inside it. For example, you can find Bubble Rumble at level two by increasing your points to 250. All this happens as I said above on to unlock a new slot machine with a different themes. The number of lines within the slot machine also increases as game level also increases which allows you to make larger bets and earn more prize money.
Slotomania also provides coins bonus for each members at every level completion. This actually keeps them engaged in playing without making them to feel bore. It also allows you to send friends either free spins or coins.
Playability in Slotomania:
Playability of Slotomania is not much highly to be spoken well. To say frankly, this is an awkward game where the playability will be like playing in a slots machine. Also the easiest part of this game is that, you have o press the spin button and this is up to your luck as the spin button spins or not in the slot machine. But one thing I can say that, all player will get audacious as by increasing the lines which will give them some prize. To play the slot machine for yourself for selecting the lines, you can use the numbered buttons which are on the either side of the slot machine. You can also press the Max lines button, if you are lucky enough then Slotomania will play automatically for you in selecting the lines betting and also in rolling.
Applauds in Slotomania:
Slotomania in Google+ has some good graphic and sound track. When you win a match in Slotomania, then it will show you the winning line. It also shows you the slot figure on how it connects to achieve it. When combinations of lines are figured out, then you will able to uncover the hidden gams which are inside Slotomania. The nicest touch of this game in Google+ is that, you can start to unlock other slot machines using different themes. This is will make you to have interest in rolling on those lines which are attractive. Other than that there is nothing to talk much or praise this game.
Score of Slotomania:
Slotomania in Google+ seems to be flawless as the slot machines games starts to go. This game is multi-language where any players around the world can play this irrespective of English known people. Hence, it can be very user-friendly game for player in Google Plus Social Network. Finally, on scoring this Slotomania game in Google+, I would give a score of 10 out of 10.
Slotomania is intended for use for those 21 or older people for amusement purposes only.
How to manually load Slotomania:
Many people are having doubts on how to load Slotomania in Google+. So I would also like to give you some steps to load Slotomania in Google+. So load your Slotomania in Google+ and start playing. It is much better to play it with G+ because you can send free gifts and scroll with many features when compared with other Gaming Platforms.
Steps to load Slotomania:
For Windows: Control – Shift – J
For Mac: Command – Option – J
This is the direct connection to Slotomania game. Now here you will not allow you to scroll by spinning or by hitting Space Bar. You also cannot send gifts. But I told you this because, once if you do these steps, you will find that the game in Google+ will start to load soon. So you also try this out to make your Slotomania to load faster in Google+.

The Devil you know returns in this brand new entry in the over-the-top action series available on the PC.

Finding himself without the use of his right arm, Nero enlists Nico, a self-professed weapons artist, to design a variety of unique mechanical Devil Breaker arms to give him extra powers to take on evil demons such as the bloodsucking flying Empusa and giant colossus enemy Goliath.
High octane stylized action – Featuring three playable characters each with a radically different stylish combat play style as they take on the city overrun with demonsGroundbreaking graphics – Developed with Capcom's in-house proprietary RE engine, the series continues to achieve new heights in fidelity with graphics that utilize photorealistic character designs and stunning lighting and environmental effects.
Take down the demonic invasion – Battle against epic bosses in adrenaline-fueled fights across the over-run Red Grave City all to the beat of a truly killer soundtrack. Demon hunter – Nero, one of the series main protagonists and a young demon hunter who has the blood of Sparda, heads to Red Grave City to face the hellish onslaught of demons, with weapons craftswoman and new partner-in-crime, Nico.

Are you a socially awkward individual that loves eating out but hates talking to real people on the phone? Then you probably already know about OpenTable, the awesome online reservation site. Now they've got a free iPhone app that's even slicker and easier to use than their actual (or mobile) site. It'll find the restaurants closest to you and throw 'em on a Google map along with their available times—a few presses later, and you're booked (even if you don't have an OpenTable account).
I did find one persistent crash though—every time I tried to look up my expired points, the whole app went own. Other than that though, it performed flawlessly. Sure, since you're doing this on your iPhone, you could almost as easily find a phone number and call. But who has time (or wants) to talk to actual people nowadays? This is faster, easier and yes, better, even if you can't slip the maître d' a Franklin or six to skip the line. Now if we could just get a Momofuku Ko resy app. [iTunes]

I asked Archie Manning and Andre Agassi to read my next book and provide testimonials, because they would be perfect for its message to parents. I got through to their agents, they said, "no." Andre Agassi denied my request three times. I hate rejection, check that, my ego hates rejection.
Dr. Seuss was rejected 27 times, his ego must not have got in the way. What takes place in my mind after losing, or getting rejected is that feeling that I'm not good enough. The setback just affirms that belief, "see, here's the proof."
Gym owner and coach, Tyler Miller, of Force Barbell knows when someone isn't going to make a certain lift, because their approach to the lift is different. Feeling helpless is learned, so is mental toughness. Having limiting beliefs are learned. We set up our own mental barriers about how good we will be.
PIKE syndrome A study was done with Pike fish in a tank, where they released minnows and watched as the Pike gobbled them up. Then , they placed the minnows inside of a jar so the Pike could not get to it. It still went after it, nailing the glass jar time and time again. After a period of time, the jar was removed and the minnows swam freely, meaning the Pike fish could once again feast…This time, the Pike fish did nothing! It stayed there, and eventually starved to death! The power of nature didn't allow the fish to survive. The Pike syndrome has to be at least 10x stronger for us humans.
How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man? – Bob Dylan
Self-imposed limiting beliefs are everywhere. For example, "you're good, but not that good?" "she's pretty, but you're just okay?" If we are unaware of our identity and our mission, then the limiting beliefs will still arise and keep us from reaching our full potential. It's a mental tether.
Baby Elephants As a means of training an elephant, when they are very small, they are tethered by a thick rope to a stake in the ground. As a baby, it lacks the strength to break free, so eventually, it stops trying. Even when the elephant is large enough and could easily break the rope around its leg, it refuses to do so. The massive size of an elephant learned to be helpless.
Dogs & Electric Shocks Seligman was the first to coin the phrase learned helplessness. I highly recommend his book Authentic Happiness: His experiment with dogs exposed them to electric shocks, in which they could not escape. After the dogs actually had an out and could escape the shocks, just like the elephant and the Pike fish, they did nothing. The dogs had to be physically removed, no amount of rewards, or praise would get them to leave the shocks. They learned helplessness.
If you want it bad enough, you have to BELIEVE. More importantly, we'll have to go through our own shocks, mental tethers, and glass jars. These are the times of non-belief that determine if we will remain steadfast and eventually break free.

We woke up to the V screaming at 6 A.M. for us to hurry up and get dressed so we could quickly get onto Highway 1 and leave Lake Cachuma. We first stopped at Wally World, and the cooks bought breakfast for today and tomorrow, lunch, and dinner. We quickly ate a breakfast of Cheese Danishes, Honeybuns, or Raspberry Crumbles with a banana (while some of us opted for a McDonalds breakfast instead).
We chatted and talked as we rode down Highway 1 because we were not allowed to sleep unless we wanted to be licked by Evan or Vicky. Some of our fellow participants did not believe they would get licked, but Dylan Heafner lived to tell us all differently. The counselors did not want us to miss the breathtaking view, so it was about the thought that counts. We took a short rest stops that included the petting of a cat, beautiful pictures, and long bathroom lines.
Next stop was……… MONTERY, CALIFORNIA!! We stayed there for about an hour shopping and buying small snacks and souvenirs before leaving. But what we didn't realize is that Monterey was not the only thing we were leaving behind until we pulled off. No other than Josh Davis and Parker Wherly missed the bus due to their excessive lateness caused by a Starbucks line (they said it was worth it). We immediately drove around the block and we saw them running towards the bus.
Many of our fellow participants told their biggest fears and most embarrassing stories to pass the time and grow our TWB family bond as we drove into San Francisco. We took a pause in our storytelling to eat our "wonderful" dinner of pizza wraps, made of flour tortillas, cheese, and pizza sauce.
We arrived at Lakeview Presbyterian Church, our campsite for the night around 7:30 p.m. This will be another night where we are sleeping shoulder to shoulder, BUT we are all very greatful for the showers we were able to receive at the YMCA next door. We took turns running next door for our two-minute showers, but they felt so good we did not care! Before bed, we combined our laundry with our friends for the sweet Chinese lady to do our laundry because she has an eight-pound limit our laundry.
We are ready to get a goodnight sleep, so that we can enjoy our whole day exploring San Francisco tomorrow!!
Love, Sleepy's

As the adoption rate of electronic health records (EHRs) in the United States continues to grow, both providers and patients will need to adapt to the reality of a third actor being present during the visit encounter. The purpose of this project is to provide insight on "best" practice patterns for effective communication and efficient use of the EHR in the clinical practice setting. Through the development of a comprehensive scorecard, this project assessed current status of EHR use and communication skills among health care providers in various clinical practice settings. Anticipated benefits of this project are increased comfortability in interfacing with the EHR and increased satisfaction on the part of the provider as well as the patient. Serving as a benchmark, this assessment has the potential to help guide future health information technology development, training, and education for both students and health care providers.
