Game Highlights
Postgame Interview
Big Rapids, Mich. - The nationally third-ranked Ferris State University men's basketball team won its 16th consecutive contest as the Bulldogs rolled to a decisive 117-66 victory over the Purdue Northwest Pride on Thursday (Feb. 22) night at FSU's Jim Wink Arena.
The Bulldog starting five that stole the show, shooting a combined 34-of-37 (91.8%) from the floor and all five scored 12 or more points in the game. Senior forward Noah King finished with a team-best 20 points as FSU matched a school single-season record set last year with its 28th victory this season.
The win was FSU's 21st consecutive home triumph at Wink Arena dating back to last season as FSU improved to 15-0 at home this year.
Two Bulldog starters went for double-doubles as standout guard Drew Cushingberry tallied 14 points and 13 assists, with nine of his assists in the first half alone. Junior center Zach Hankins finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds to go with five blocks.
FSU Senior forward Peter Firlik picked up 17 points and five rebounds while junior forward Markese Mayfield had 14 points, three steals and three assists in the game.
The Bulldogs as a team got out to a fiery start, hitting 19 of their first 21 shots (90.5%) from the floor and FSU never looked back. They had a 64-32 lead at the break and a 53-34 advantage in the second half.
The fast-paced game allowed the Bulldogs to turn the contest into a track meet. They picked up 52 fast break points while the Pride had just 12 such points. In the paint, Ferris State outscored the Pride 58-26 overall. The Bulldogs also won the rebound battle 47-29 on the night.
Ferris State went deep into its bench as 12 Bulldogs tallied at least a point with seven in double figures. The Bulldog bench outscored the Purdue Northwest reserves 40-21 in the second-ever series' matchup. Senior Tyquone Greer led the Bulldog second unit with 12 points off the bench while Cole Walker chipped in 10 points and DeShaun Thrower netted nine points.
The Pride were led offensively by Torrance Johnson's 15 points. Three Purdue Northwest players finished in double figures for the game, including 10 each from Richard Robertson and Caleb Brannon.
Following the contest, the Bulldogs cut down the nets, celebrating the GLIAC Regular Season Championship they claimed in outright fashion last week on the road for the second consecutive year.
Ferris State's 117 points came up only nine points shy of the school-record of 126 points set in a game while the Bulldogs' 37 assists in the outing was only one shy of the school's all-time best single game mark. FSU also tied a school-record with 13 blocked shots.
The Bulldogs, who hold a nation-leading 28-1 overall record and are now 18-1 in the GLIAC, will celebrate Senior Day on Saturday (Feb. 24) as FSU hosts West Michigan archrival Grand Valley State with tipoff set for 1 p.m. (ET) at Wink Arena. The Bulldogs will honor a five-member senior class following the contest.
In addition, Ferris State has also secured the #1 seed for the GLIAC Tournament and will host a quarterfinal-round game on Wednesday (Feb. 28) night against an opponent to be determined.

"Free as in sexist?" Free culture and the gender gap
Despite the values of freedom and openness, the free culture movement's gender balance is as skewed (or more so) as that of the computing culture from which it arose. Based on the collection and analysis of discourse on gender and sexism within this movement over a six–year period, I suggest three possible causes: (a) some geek identities can be narrow and unappealing; (b) open communities are especially susceptible to difficult people; and, (c) the ideas of freedom and openness can be used to dismiss concerns and rationalize the gender gap as a matter of preference and choice.

The prevailing theory is that music and language are either separate from each other or that music is a byproduct of language. But some theorists propose that music underlies the ability to acquire a language, not just a form of communicating emotions.
"Spoken language is a special type of music," said Anthony Brandt, co-author of a theory published online. "Language is typically viewed as fundamental to human intelligence, and music is often treated as being dependent on or derived from language".
In other words: "from a developmental argument, music came first, and language arises from music – not the other way around.
The argument is: "Infants listen first to the sounds of language and only later to do they find its meaning": It's why we can learn a song in another language, even though we can't understand what the words mean.
Various studies show that a newborn's brain is capable of distinguishing phonemes: the basic units of the sounds of speech and categorized musically as pitch, rhythm and 'timbre". Music can then be defined as "creative play with sound".
As adults, we focus primarily on the meaning of speech; but babies begin by hearing language as "an intentional and often repeated vocal performance". They listen to it for it's emotional content but also for its rhythmic and phonemic patterns and consistencies: the meaning of words comes later".
You can't distinguish between a piano and a trumpet until you can know the difference between "mama" and "papa"!
Brandt states "While music and language may be cognitively distinct in adults, we suggest that language is simply a subset of music from a child's view.".

It was the match-up of the 2013 NFL season the San Francisco 49ers clashing with the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field for the NFC Championship. On paper it seemed that way, unfortunately that didn't happen even with the a game decided in the closing seconds.
The reason being Gene Steratore and his officaiting crew. Donte Whitner became victim again of another call for targeting the head or neck area of a receiver against Luke Wilson and there are two reasons why the call didn't have any validity. Wilson got hit by Eric Reid who make a play on the ball changing the path of the tight end and Whitner was already in the process of lowering his shoulder to dislodge the ball, which he successfully did. As for the hit itself the only point of contact was a glancing blow off the shoulder pad not even close to the head or neck area.
Shortly before the first half ended Russell Wilson threw an incomplete pass on fourth down giving the 49ers the ball and excellent field position with 20 seconds left. Yet, Carlos Rogers got called for unnecessary roughness a dead ball foul so the turnover counted. The 15 yard penalty resulted in forcing quarterback Colin Kaepernick to run out the clock with a 10-3 lead at halftime. Similar plays happen in nearly every football game and never get called so how come the flag wasn't picked up after the officiating crew huddled together?
During the second half it didn't get better for Steratore's crew either. Former 49er Chris Maragos rolled up under punter Andy Lee and his shoulder went into the plant leg of Lee. By rule that's roughing the punter, 15 yards and an automatic first down. Somehow running into the punter got called with only a five yard penalty assessed and Harbaugh declined the penalty allowing the Seahawks to have a nice starting spot for their next drive. By not making the correct call it robbed the 49ers a chance to score on back-to-back possessions.
Quite possibly the biggest blunder of the game came on a tremendous play by linebacker Navorro Bowman who is arguably is the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year. With the Seahawks facing third and goal Jermaine Kearse caught a pass short of the goal line while while fighting for the goal line Reid pushed Kearse into Bowman who ripped the ball out of his arms clearly recovering the fumble. Since the play itself isn't reviewable by league rules Seattle managed to keep the ball just short of the end zone.
Even worse is that during the play needed a cart to come out as during the entire play Bowman's knee got bent awkwardly as more players joined in the pile. Even with the naked eye the play it clearly showed the turnover. Pete Carroll did have the offense go for it on fourth down yet a high handoff to Marshawn Lych got mishandled and even with Ahmad Brooks not picking up the fumble it pushed the recovery spot giving the 49ers better field position.
So what had the appearances of one of the better games in recent playoff memories it is now marred by the incompetency of Steratore and his crew which is a shame.

text: At 13:58 Cranberry volunteers were alerted to a boom truck that had made contact with power lines at the intersection of Garvin Road and Ehrman Road. IC-21 arrived on scene to find a garbage truck with its boom in the air had made contact with the power lines and took down several poles. IC-21 immediately requested Cranberry EMS respond to the scene as the vehicle was still occupied as the driver was not sure if the power lines were still energized or not. Engine 21-2 and FP-21arrived shortly thereafter. Penn Power arrived promptly and determined the lines were not energized and allowed the driver of the garbage truck to safely exit the vehicle. Crews from Engine-21-2 contained transformer fluid from the downed pole mounted transformer. Engine 21-2 returned to service while the fire police and IC-21 remained on scene for traffic control.

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then wrapped a piece of Crushed Curry Baker's Twine (retiring) around the cardfront. I added a piece of Dapper Denim cardstock as the base for my outdoor setting. Then using the Outdoor Adventure Framelits (retiring) and the Big Shot I cut the mountains and snow and tree line.
Using the Always an Adventure stamp set (retiring) I stamped the tent out of Crushed Curry ink, the bear using Chocolate Chip ink, and the lake using Marina Mist ink. After cutting the pieces out with the framelits (there isn't a framelit for the lake but it's easy to cut out with Paper Snips) I attached all the pieces to the cardfront using dimensionals.
The final touch was to add the greeting which is from the Guy Greetings stamp set (so happy this is carrying over) and was stamped in Chocolate Chip ink.
This card has lots of little pieces but really doesn't take long to make and it's so fun it's sure to impress. Can't wait to see how the ladies like this card at this weekends class, I think it will be lots of fun! Also remember the retiring items will only be available until the end of the month so don't miss out adding them to your stamping toolbox.
Below are easy ordering links for the product's used on today's card:

I am honored to be hoboboobies.wordpress.com's first guest columnist and I am sure I won't be the last, but I wanted to start off by saying how much I love this site. Sure that Big Dog guy has had some hastily put up maniacal rants lately, but he's kind of the bread and butter of the site so, what can you do?
Well, my name is Aditya 'Romeo' Dev. Maybe you have seen me around the interweb lately? I am getting a bit famous, traveling the world to do daytime talk shows as the world's smallest weight lifter and badass dancer. Anyway, I was asked to post because I seem to be pretty inspirational and have a good message to send out to the readers. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Here a couple pics from a set my agent had me take at the gym.
At under 3ft, just about and normal sized person can pick me up with one hand, I usually take that opportunity to show off the guns. Who's got a ticket right? You know what I'm talking about. Gunshow.
Here is me with my half-brother Craig. We have been at the gym every day for 2 months now and as you can tell, its paying off big time. Craig's on more of an unnatural body building program and I am almost positive he sold his soul to the devil about a month ago because he was really fat before and not near as evil looking. I, on the other hand, am solely focused on getting cut up, and as you can see…
its working (pause to let the full effects from the picture sink in). I just wish I hadn't forgot to bring an extra pair of socks to the gym on the day they brought the cameras. I couldn't believe I had to work in the brown dress socks, AGAIN, I hate it when I do that. I also had to borrow some child's red "athletic" shoes which gave me a shit load of blisters. I almost kicked his ass. Needless to say this is not my usual gym attire, but the camera guy said he was getting paid whether or not I had brought my gym bag, so I said fuck it. Lets shoot. (Craig and I have matching outfits that we usually wear. He's got his on above. They are awesome and have sweat bands and everything. Just pretend I'm wearing it.)
I focus on some really technical lifts. This is the dumbbell press. Textbook form. Right foot a bit ahead, left foot stays pointed at a 60 degree angle. Head up, shoulders back, package jammed a bit to the left side of the clothe diaper, no big deal.
Thats about all I have for now, oh yeah, something inspirational… Um, remember, hard work and a positive attitude pay off. – Romeo

Good on you Doris, I support you in your fight to protect sites from the people who are supposed to be doing that but instead are bending over backwards to satisfy contractors.
It's a pity we also have to read the ignorant and uneducated crap from so called men like Elvis. Instead of posting your rubbish why not speak to Doris and her family or are you not man enough … shhh now!

Wall hanging for auction
This wall hanging is for a school auction Made by room one St Joseph's School. The 8 children in room 1 all painted one piece of fabric each, let it dry and them they washed it after about three days. A few days later after I had cut out all the fabric to the size I had wanted, I took the cut fabric and my design wall to the class. All the children of room 1 helped put the fabric's in the order which we all thought looked really nice. The children also drew a flower on paper which I took home scanned then enlarged them to the size which I thought would look good on the wall hanging. I have written the child's name in the flower centre of their flower so all can see who drew which flower. I am very pleased with the result and hope the children like it to.
Check out the children on their blog at Room 1

For a while back in October 2011, the Fast and the Furious franchise looked to become for Generation Y what The Expendables is for those who grew up in the 1980s and '90; namely, an adrenaline-fueled, macho star-studded event, with a collection of action fan-favorites - such as Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, and possibly Jason Statham - all together and tearing up the screen (or each other, on occasion).
However, earlier this month, word got out that a deal to snag Statham for Fast Six (or Fast and Furious 6, depending on who you ask) failed to materialize. Today though, we can also offer some good news: the badass index for the new Fast and the Furious flick still looks to increase something fierce (even without Statham), now that Gina Carano is in talks for a role.
Twitch first reported the Statham story a couple weeks ago, revealing that a deal with Universal - which would see Statham appear in only Fast Six, since the studio scrapped its plans to shoot Fast and the Furious 6 & 7 back-to-back - failed to materialize (news confirmed by multiple outlets since Twitch broke it). The franchise does seem like a perfect match for Statham the actor, but he presumably had good reason for ultimately taking a pass.
Heat Vision has the hot-off-the-presses scoop on Carano, who is up to play a member of Diplomatic Security Service Agent Luke Hobbs' (Johnson) team. Fast Six is expected to take place overseas in Europe - as directly set up by a mid-credits scene in Fast Five - and should pick up with contemporary outlaws Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker), Dominic Toretto (Diesel) and their fast-racing, thieving comrades on an new, Ocean's Eleven-style operation (with cars).
A former Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter, Carano established herself as a deadly force of nature onscreen earlier this year with a lead turn in Steven Soderbergh's Haywire. The brawler-turned-actress has yet to prove that she also possesses strong acting chops, to go along with the physical prowess - but, then again, it's not as though she'll need much of that, as far as the sixth Fast and the Furious movie is concerned.
Justin Lin (who directed the previous three Fast and the Furious films) is returning for the sixth installment - as will the series' dependable screenwriter, Chris Morgan, along with Diesel and Neal H. Moritz as producers. Similarly, Universal chairman Adam Fogelson has promised that Fast Six will continue to transition the franchise into pure heist genre territory, occupied by titles like The Italian Job, while also still delivering the same street car racing (and crashing) spectacle that's made previous entries in the series such a massive draw.
That's all to say: those who are already fans of the Fast and the Furious franchise, you can start anticipating a bigger ( and better?) addition to the series. All others need not apply.
Fast Six (a.k.a. Fast and the Furious 6) will powerslide into theaters around the U.S. on May 24th, 2013.

In the past 20 years or so, life has thrown me quite a few curve balls. I had to learn to manage my stress levels throughout the events that scarred me for life, but also made me who I am today, a strong, resilient and happy person. My many therapists all offered the same tool to make me stronger, calmer, at peace; meditation. To this day, meditation is part of my daily routine as a way to cope with setbacks, but also as a way to stay close to my heart and connect to my higher self. In today's article, I wanted to share the unexpected benefits that I have gained from a consistent meditation practice. Here we go!
The Many Benefits of Meditation
Meditation has had a tremendous impact on my wellbeing as the years went by. Before I share some of these benefits with you, I would like to start with a disclaimer. Meditation is not a quick fix. It requires time, involvement and persistance. Surely, after your first session, you will feel calm and quiet, but the more permanent effects of meditation come with consistent practice. But rest assured that the rewards are soon to come if you put in the efforts. Let's jump in to the benefits!
Psychological benefits
Decreased Anxiety
The main reason why my therapists have proposed meditation as part of my treatment has been to reduce my anxiety levels and to better cope with stress. It is one of the first benefits that I have noticed when I started meditating back in 2011. I have noticed that the consistent practice of meditation has allowed me to react in a calmer demeanor whenever stressful situations occur, and I tend to anticipate stressful events more positively.
Relieved Depression
Many studies have shown the positive impact of meditation on patients suffering from depression. I would tend to think that meditation allows us to reframe our thoughts, allowing us to see things in a brighter light. Many health practitioners suggest meditation as a way to cope with depression.
Stronger Resilience
Resilience is one of the traits that women in my family tend to have in common. I inherited resilience from my mom, whom probably inherited it from her mom. Our resilience helped us get through tough times and illness and bring ourselves back up after each setback. But one thing that I realized after a year or so of meditation was that the time it took me to spring back up was shorter and shorter, and that my outlook on said setbacks was much more positive and welcoming.
Intellectual benefits
Increased Focus
Meditation is the act of bringing our focus to one thing (the breath, the flame of a candle, our body sensations), and keeping this focus for as long as possible. If we shift our focus, we gently bring it back and keep going. In this day and age, with technology going faster and faster, we tend to loose our ability to focus for extended periods of time. Meditation allows us to build our focus muscle and become better at it outside of our meditation sessions.
Better Creative Thinking
Meditating develops new neural pathways, new connections between brain cells that allows us to think more creatively, since we learn to connect ideas in a different way. You will develop this ability more and more as you build your meditation practice. Problem solving will become easier and you'll find that your ideas are more creative and efficient.
Health benefits
Reduced Pain
This benefit is probably the more interesting to me, as I have suffered from fibromyalgia since I was a teenager. About a year after I started meditating, I noticed that my pain decreased and that I had developed a stronger tolerance when I'd get flareups. I did not associate meditation with my improved physical condition until recently, when I came across a French book on how to manage pain with meditation and EFT (Emotional Feedback Technique). Reading the book, I realized that my practice over the years had wired my brain to tolerate pain and reframe it so that I no longer felt victimized by it. I learned to accept pain as part of my life, and this new ability lead me to a new wellbeing.
Other health benefits include improved immune system and longevity. I can definitely attest to the improved immune system as I almost never get a cold or any other viruses, but as for longevity, only time will tell :).
In the coming weeks, I will share an easy and effective way for you to start a meditation practice in as short as 5 minutes a day. Have you tried meditating? Share your experience with me in the comments below! Until next time, you can join my mailing list to receive the latest articles right in your inbox and get book recommendations and quotes of the week delivered to you every Friday.
See you next Tuesday!

Shares of Alexion jumped as high as $120.48, or 10.2 percent on the news. More than 2.5 million shares have already been traded, compared to the average of 2.03 million.
A previous offer from Roche was rejected, but Alexion will be working with Goldman Sachs in the case that Roche raises their offer to a level the pharmaceutical company finds appealing.
Bloomberg reported that Roche is interested in both the company's blood medication and pipeline.
Analysts will likely review the company in the near future.

A South African clergyman has come under fire for actions that are said to have put the lives of people at risk. The pastor asked his followers to eat grass during a worship service if they wanted to be close to their creator.
Pastor Lesego Daniel of Rabboni Centre Ministries in Garankuwa, north of Pretoria told his followers that grass will take them closer to their creator and they willingly followed. He then proceeded to walk on them in an action seen as stamping on them.
The pastor is known for his unconventional methods that have drawn criticism severally but his followers swear that they work. In the grass eating incident, he had said that the human body can survive on anything that it is fed.
Those who partook in the grass claimed that it worked miracles for them. A law student claimed that her sore throat was healed after eating some of the grass. Another member of the congregation who suffered a stroke two years back and was left unable to walk said that she got stronger in an hour's time and within two hours of eating the grass, she could walk again.
Photos of the incident show people on the ground eating grass and the preacher walking on them. In a previous incident, the clergyman is reported to have sent six people to sleep during a service just by shouting the word 'sleep'. He claimed that he can send anyone to sleep just by word of mouth, including police if they come to arrest him.
A series of photographs after the grass-eating affair show dozens of people getting sick and vomiting after consuming it. Some are pictured being supported to walk, others vomiting into buckets and some men had to use toilet bowls to vomit into.
The pastor has issued no response to the backlash received over the incident but posted a Facebook message stating that the creator was at work and his people were testifying. He further went on to proclaim glory to the creator in the Facebook message.

Marksman Soldiers Prepare for Olympics
By Paula J. Randall
Special to American Forces Press Service
FORT BENNING, Ga., July 24, 2008 - Six soldiers of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit are living out their wildest dreams.
Maj. Michael E. Anti, Sgt. 1st Class Jason A. Parker, Sgt. 1st Class Daryl L. Szarenski, Spc. Walton Glenn Eller III, Spc. Jeffrey G. Holguin and Pfc. Vincent C. Hancock made the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team and will represent the United States at the Olympics Games in Beijing in August.
"The first time I watched the Olympics on TV, I knew I wanted to be an Olympian," said Anti, who won a Silver Medal in the 2004 Olympics. "I have been to three Olympics, all of which have been an amazing experience."
Anti, 43, who joined the Army in January 1988, is attached to the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit through the World Class Athlete Program. The infantry officer, from Winterville, N.C., outshot 48 competitors to make the Olympic Team in prone rifle. Competitors in prone rifle lie on their stomachs and shoot .22-caliber rifles at targets 50 meters away. The bull's eye is 10.4 millimeters wide -- much smaller than a dime.
Parker, 34, is a 2008, 2004 and 2000 air rifle Olympian. This year, he defeated 34 competitors to make the Olympic Team in men's air rifle, in which competitors shoot lead pellets from .177-caliber guns at targets 10 meters away. The bull's eye is a half millimeter wide, the size of the period at the end of this sentence. He finished in eighth place at the 2004 Games and in fifth place in 2000, missing an Olympic medal by seven tenths of a point.
"It has been a goal of mine since I was a kid to be an Olympic gold medalist," Parker said. "The Army and the Army Marksmanship Unit have provided me with everything I've needed to be successful -- the best coaches, gunsmiths and equipment -- but it also has taken a lot of hard work and dedication."
Parker, who joined the Army in January 1997, made the Olympic Team in men's three-position rifle, in which competitors shoot the same rifles at the same targets as in prone rifle, except they shoot in three positions: standing, kneeling and prone. The Omaha, Neb., native said he feels confident about his chances for a medal in Beijing.
"I have more experience and better equipment this time around," Parker explained. "My coaches have prepared me for a successful Olympic Games, and the AMU gunsmiths have found the best possible rifle and ammunition for me to use."
Holguin, 29, from Yorba Linda, Calif., joined the Army in September 2006 along with his friend Eller. Holguin and Eller defeated 12 competitors to get on the Olympic double trap team.
In double trap, competitors fire their shotguns at two clay targets thrown simultaneously from an underground bunker at speeds up to 50 mph; competitors get one shot per target.
"The hardest part of this Olympic experience is waiting for the day to get here," Holguin said. "I wanted to compete at the highest level of clay target shooting; to do that, I had to commit myself to the sport. The U.S. Army and the USAMU have given me the necessary resources to compete and win at the level required to win an Olympic medal."
A Katy, Texas, native, Eller, 26, will be competing in his third Olympics in double trap. He finished in 17th place in 2004 and in 12th place in 2000. He joined the Army in September 2006.
"Growing up, I had always wanted to be an Olympian," Eller said. "The Olympics were greater in every aspect than I had anticipated, both in highs and lows. The emotions involved are so great because of the years of training that go into that one day of competition.
"I joined the Army to better myself as a person and as a soldier," Eller continued. "It is my way to serve the country in a time of war and to continue my Olympic career."
Hancock, of Eatonton, Ga., joined the Army Reserve in June 2006. As a junior in high school, he went through basic training and then returned to school to finish his senior year. After he graduated, Hancock went to his advanced individual training and then joined the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit.
The 19-year-old triumphed over 65 competitors to make the skeet Olympic Team. In skeet, competitors fire their shotguns at clay targets thrown from high and low houses at 55 mph.
"I wanted to be an Olympian because it is the pinnacle of all competition in sports," Hancock said. "The Army and the Army Marksmanship Unit have given me the opportunity to do what I love and the means to do it. They have made me more determined to achieve my goal of a gold medal.
"I joined to be part of a team of soldiers helping to bring our country medals and wins," Hancock continued. "The shotgun team has the best marksmen in the world, and being a part of that team helped me to become the best I can be."
Szarenski, 40, also competed in the 2004 and 2000 Olympics. He finished in 13th place in air pistol and 15th place in free pistol in 2004, which was a great improvement over his 25th place finish in free pistol in 2000.
"The high point of my Olympic experience was just being able to shoot at the Olympics, and the low point was the disappointment of not getting a medal when I thought I shot a good performance," Szarenski said. "I felt that I had the ability to win the Olympics, but things had to go right; unfortunately they didn't."
The Saginaw, Mich., native joined the Army in October 1991. After three days and 200 shots of grueling competition at the Olympic trials last month, it came down to the last shot, but Szarenski prevailed to beat 25 competitors and make the Olympic Team. In free pistol, competitors shoot .22-caliber pistols from 50 meters away at bull's eye targets with a center about 50 millimeters in diameter.
"Staying focused on the competition and not being carried away with the hype of the Olympics will be the hardest part of the Games," Szarenski said, "but the training, mindset and events that I have won are what is going to help me in this Olympics. I have always loved shooting, and winning the Olympics is the pinnacle of the sport."

U.S. Department of State
Media Note

U.S. Department of State Launches Fulbright Conflict Resolution Pilot Program
The Department of State has selected participants for the Fulbright Conflict Resolution pilot program to begin this week. Four students, from the West Bank, Israel, Lebanon, and Egypt, will attend Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), a faith-based institution in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The pilot program will consist of six months of core instruction followed by a choice of several classes or an internship for the second six months. In addition, two professors from Israel and Morocco will receive grants at George Mason University's Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution in Fairfax, Virginia.
"The State Department's conflict resolution grants build on the Fulbright Program's traditional strengths of academic excellence and leadership potential," said Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs Dr. William B. Bader. "This initiative heralds a new model for Fulbright awards in the 21st century. It enables grantees from across the Middle East and North Africa to explore together their common future. Senator Fulbright once observed that 'the vital mortar to seal the bricks of world order is education across international boundaries, not with the expectation that knowledge would make us love each other, but in the hope that it would encourage empathy between nations, and foster the emergence of leaders whose sense of other nations and cultures would enable them to shape specific policies based on tolerance and rational restraint.' Today, in the Middle East in particular, there is no more pressing need."
All Fulbright Conflict Resolution grantees will take courses in EMU's Conflict Transformation Program during the Spring 2001 semester that begins in January 2001. From May 7 through June 29, 2001, they will participate in an intensive Summer Peacebuilding Institute. On successful completion of the course work, the grantees will receive a Conflict Transformation Graduate Certificate as well as a university transcript should they desire to use those credits toward an academic degree. Following their study at the Institute, the grantees will have the option of participating in either two-month or six-month internships.
The Fulbright Conflict Resolution grantees will reunite November 17-20 to participate in the Middle East Studies Association meeting in San Francisco. They will be invited to Washington to evaluate their program before returning home.

The Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) fosters mutual understanding between the United States and other countries through international educational and training programs. The bureau does so by promoting personal, professional, and institutional ties between private citizens and organizations in the United States and abroad, as well as by presenting U.S. history, society, art and culture in all of its diversity to overseas audiences. For further information, see our website at http://exchanges.state.gov.
The flagship international educational program sponsored by the United States Government, widely known as the Fulbright Program, is designed to "increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries..." With this goal as a starting point, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 230,000 participants -- chosen for their leadership potential -- with the opportunity to observe each others' political, economic and cultural institutions, exchange ideas, and embark on joint ventures of importance to the general welfare of the world's inhabitants.

By any and every metric the Women's March on Washington and the simultaneous Women's Marches around the U.S. and around the world were a huge success! Millions of people came out in solidarity with women to show their unity in fighting the policies of the incoming U.S. administration. In every location where marches were organized and permitted the actually attendees dwarfed the initial estimates for attendance. My family could not be there but we followed it all day and it was positive and heartening and hopeful–three things sorely needed one day after Cheeto was sworn in.
Now, with this amazingly successful, visual, visceral and monumental event as a springboard the daily and sustained work of democratically resisting this administration begins. Cheeto has laid out a quasi-plan for his first 100 days in office. Needless to say the changes in laws and regulations proposed are for the most part abhorrent. He will obviously also be seeking to have his cabinet confirmed and to nominate a Supreme Court justice for confirmation.
Many organizations and personalities have come up with action plans to resist Cheeto's policy moves, proposed changes to laws and regs and nominations. Following are the three easiest and most effective Cheeto blocking proposals:
- Call your three Congresspeople every day and voice your opposition to (or support for) proposed legislation in a voicemail. It's simple, call (202) 224-3121 for the Capitol switchboard, give them your zip code and they will put you in contact with your Representative and two Senators. You can also find Congress persons' direct telephone numbers at www.house.gov/htbin/findrep and www.senate.gov/senators/contact/ This should take no more than 10 minutes to call all three Congresspeople and leave a message of opposition for negative legislation or support for positive legislation. In his recent speeches in New York and Washington, DC, filmmaker Michael Moore reminded audiences that this tactic worked recently to stop Congress from from passing legislation that would have eviscerated the Office of Congressional Ethics. Moore suggested that our first calls on Monday 1/23/2017 should be to voice opposition to the confirmation of Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education as she is clearly unqualified for the position. This action is concrete, effective and easy, and if done consistently it will become a habit. Please make it a habit.
- Write letters to the editor of your newspaper and op-eds, with a steady flow of arguments about the fallacies and dangers of Trump's First 100 Day policies and initiatives. This is word for word from Robert Reich's "The First 100 Day of Resistance Agenda." Op-eds are the most read section of the newspaper and many people and decision makers still read newspapers and "take the temperature" of certain issues by the op-eds that certain local, regional and national papers publish. Check your local or favorite national newspapers' guidelines for submissions and try to write and submit at least one opinion piece or letter to the editor a month. Again, this action is concrete, effective and easy, and if done consistently it will become a habit. Please make it a habit.
- Contribute to social media to spread the word about what Cheeto and the Congress are trying/planning to do and how to most effectively shut down their plans. This is also an idea from Robert Reich's "The First 100 Day of Resistance Agenda." The efficacy of social media has been shown again and again. If people are passionate about your post it will spread like wildfire and start various organizations and individuals in motion to help change people's concerns into actions of resistance. This action is concrete, effective and easy, and if done consistently it will become a habit. Please make it a habit.
Finally, one proposal that is not being seriously discussed and amplified is to start right now to insure that the Congress is balanced in 2018. The best way to weaken Trump permanently is to take the House and the Senate away from the Republicans. The best way to do this is to: A) immediately encourage opposition i.e. non-Republican candidates to start advertising themselves and campaigning right now; B) let all non-Republican candidates know that if they are elected they will be doing the bidding of the people who elect them and not the bidding of the Democratic National Convention which is an outdated extension of Wall Street and in bed with its Republican 'adversaries'; C) every time a Republican Congressperson supports/endorses/votes for harmful legislation lambast the hell out of them in every local and regional media outlet that you can!
Do what you can, when you can, to keep the pressure on our elected representatives to shape America into the place that you the people want it to be!

French Country Chic Living Room Kit
I was pleasantly surprised at how well the sofa and chair turned out being made of wood. They looked really cute and the fireplace was precious! The table legs, however, broke repeatedly. Throwing in a few extra legs or making them out of something less fragile would certainly be appreciated for the cost of these kits.

Struts & Frets by Jon Skovron
Samuel "Sammy" Bojar's whole life revolves around listening to and making music with the high hopes on one day making it big in the underground scene. Despite what his therapist mother says. There's just one hitch in his plan: his band, Tragedy of Wisdom. Tragedy of Wisdom has the potential of being a really great band, but besides Sammy and his drummer/friend TJ, no one else seems to take the band seriously, or even care that much about it.
So when his band decides to enter a local Battle of the Bands he knows it's going to end in utter disaster. But Sammy's willing to give it a chance as long as his slacker friends are willing. And besides, this will give Sammy something to look forward to, something to distract him from the other problems in his life. Problems like an ailing grandfather who thinks that people are after him, and then there's the fact that he may be in love with his best friend, Jen5.
Struts & Frets written by Jon Skovron is a richly realistic and deeply honest look into the life of a teen musician. In a three hundred and four pages readers will experience the highs and the lows of being in a band, the emotions that go into making music, and all of the insecurities that go along with the territory of being the leader of a band.
Skovron's writing is exceptionally smart, witty, and full of laugh out loud moments. But the writing isn't the only thing readers will appreciate. They'll find many life lessons within the pages – lessons like shoot for the moon, no matter how far away it seems.
Struts & Frets is full of unforgettable characters that are full of unique personalities, that all compliment main character Sammy. Each of these characters bring a better understanding of who Sammy is as a character, while adding their own flair to this already great story.

DFL Unanimously Endorses Angie Craig For Congress
TOPICS: Press Releases
Craig will face Rep. Jason Lewis after her endorsement from the DFL
Burnsville, MN – Today, Angie Craig, who is challenging Rep. Jason Lewis in Minnesota's Second Congressional District, was unanimously endorsed by the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
"I am humbled by the support and vote of confidence from the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and I want to thank the party for their endorsement," said Craig. "With the party united, I know we will win in November. We will win by standing up for our values: access to affordable healthcare for all, investments in education so that our prosperity can be passed onto the next generation, and campaign finance and government reforms that end the dark money in politics and put an end to politicians who benefit from their service to you.
"This district deserves real representation that will listen to the concerns of voters. Jason Lewis didn't listen to voters when he voted for the Washington tax scam giveaway to big corporations while adding trillions to the deficit. He didn't listen to voters when he voted to raise health care costs for Minnesotans and those with pre-existing conditions. And he refuses to listen to the many residents of this district who feel left behind by a very broken Washington that puts special interests ahead of everyday people.
"I want to thank Jeff Erdmann for the spirited endorsement campaign. We may not have always seen eye to eye on the path, but we were always united behind the same goal. And now, together, we can return this district to the voters."
Craig is a former journalist and healthcare leader who lives with her wife and four sons in Eagan. Raised by a single mother in a mobile home park, Angie saw as her family struggled to pay healthcare bills and later worked two jobs to pay her way through college. She later went on to lead a workforce of 16,000 employees at a major Minnesota manufacturer and is running to ensure every Minnesotans has their own shot at the American Dream.

This week I wanted to make an apple pie. One with a full case - shortcrust pastry around the bottom and puff pastry on the top (rough puff preferably.) When I started poking around my cook books though I found I didn't have a recipe that even came close. Searching the Internets came up pretty unsatisfactory too - the recipes were either overly complex or used the wrong sort of pastry.
After venting my frustration (OK, mentioning in passing that I was having no luck) Rachel suggested that I just make a Tarte Tatin instead. I've previously made the one from the Phaidon text The Art of French Baking but was disappointed in the result (as with so many recipes I've made from that book) so I went back the Internet again. Fortunately the Taste website very quickly presented me with a pretty promising recipe. So, here it is, adapted from taste.com.au.
|Tarte Tatin
- 5 large granny smith apples
- 75g unsalted butter, chopped
- 165g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
Shortcrust pastry
- 225g (1 1/2 cups) plain flour
- 2 tbs caster sugar
- 125g unsalted butter, chilled, chopped
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- iced water (enough for 2-4 tsp)
- To make pastry, combine flour and sugar in a bowl. Add butter and rub into flour and sugar using your fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre and add egg and 2 tsp iced water. Using a dinner knife, combine until a rough dough forms, then, using your hands, bring together until it forms a ball. If it's still crumbly add another 1-2 tsp water. Shape into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm. Don't overwork pastry or add too much water otherwise it will toughen and shrink when cooking.
- Meanwhile, peel each apple and cut in half, then cut each half into 3 wedges and cut out the core.
- Melt butter in cast-iron frying pan over low–medium heat. Stir in the sugar to mix. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the mixture is bubbling (don't worry if the sugar looks crystallised in the pan.) Remove from heat and place apple wedges in 2 neat, concentric, tight-fitting circles over base of pan. It's important to tightly pack apples into the base of the pan, even if you have a few overlapping. The apples will reduce in size when cooked. Return pan to medium heat so the liquid bubbles and cook for 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180C. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface so it's round and about 4-5mm thick. Cut into a neat circle about 1-2cm wider than your pan's base. Place pastry over cooled apples and push gently down with a wooden spoon around the edge of pan. That extra bit forms a wall around the tart when it's inverted. Bake for 40 minutes or until pastry is deep golden.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a large plate. Allow to cool further so the liquid sets a little. Serve warm or at room temperature with creme fraiche or vanilla ice-cream or just as it is.
Note that in my photo above you might be able to see that the pastry was cut too large and ran back up the sides of the pan. In hindsight I should have trimmed it further once it was in the pan and I could see it was too big.

- Wimbledon
Dimitrov on Murray's radar but Ferrer bows out
While Andy Murray was busy giving a performance of a Wimbledon champion in his destruction of Blaz Rola on Court No.1, Grigor Dimitrov continued to showcase his talents on Centre Court with a 6-3 6-2 6-4 victory against Luke Saville.
Both are now in round three and, while Murray's showing was worthy of a place on SW19's most prestigious show court, Dimitrov did not fail to impress against his Australian opponent in what was his first appearance on Centre.
LIVE - Wimbledon
Should Dimitrov and Murray make it through unscathed, they are on a collision course to meet at the quarter-final stage, what with David Ferrer's early exit to Andrey Kuznetsov.
Dimitrov won the Wimbledon boys' singles title in 2008 and last month took Murray's Aegon title at the Queen's Club. Now, he appears to be after the Brit's Wimbledon crown and his outing against Saville was a clear statement of intent. The 11th seed rattled through the opening set in less than half an hour with a plethora of impressive shots.
The gulf in class was similar, if slightly less apparent, to Murray's steamroller performance and Dimitrov moved two sets to the good in rapid time; this time, the set took only 24 minutes on court.
On his last three appearances at the All England Club, Dimitrov lost at the second round stage. It was not to be a fourth and his patience was rewarded in the seventh game of the third set, when he converted a third break point to move 4-3 ahead.
Dimitrov, currently Maria Sharapova's other half, closed out victory without fuss and is now in the third round for the first time in five appearances at Wimbledon.
"It's the first time I've played on Centre Court. I was extremely happy out there. I'm feeling confident at the moment. Today was one of those days I wanted to enjoy, play some good shots and finish the match in three sets," Dimitrov told the BBC.
"You don't get the chance to go on that court every day, so I wanted to make the most of it. I wanted to play the right shots and be compact. I faced a tough opponent, and I had to be really composed for the whole match.
"I love this tournament. Step by step, I'm achieving some of the things that I want, but I'm not done yet."
Seventh seed Ferrer is out after a dramatic five-set defeat to former Wimbledon junior champion Kuznetsov.
Kuznetsov, who beat Brit Dan Evans in the opening round, produced thrilling tennis on court No.2 to ensure he would advance at the expense of the Spaniard, winning through 6-7(5) 6-0 3-6 6-3 6-2. It is the first time in his career that the Russian has won successive matches on grass.
The final set provided rollercoaster entertainment as the world No.118 started with a break of serve only for Ferrer to produce an immediate response and hold serve to move ahead. However, two further breaks followed for Kuznetsov and at 5-2 up, he was serving for the match.
Any nerves Kuznetsov may have suffered certainly never transferred on court; two huge serves and two powerful forehands down the line ensured a game-to-love as well as game, set and match for the 23-year-old. Ferrer, meanwhile, exits before the third round for the first time in 18 grand slams.
Sergiy Stakhovsky, the man who shocked Roger Federer in the second round last year, enjoyed another fine victory as he ousted 12th seed Ernests Gulbis 6-4 6-3 7-6(5) on court No.12.
Kevin Anderson is also through to the third round after beating Edouard Roger-Vasselin 7-6(0) 1-6 6-3 6-4 and is joined by Fabio Fognini and Leonardo Mayer. Fognini beat Tim Puetz 2-6 6-4 7-6(6) 6-3 while Mayer saw off Marcos Baghdatis 7-6(4) 4-6 6-1 6-4.
Alexandr Dolgopolov hit 42 aces to opponent Benjamin Becker's nine as the Ukrainian won through 6-7(4) 7-6 (0) 6-3 6-4 on court No.8.
Marin Cilic came back from a set down against Andreas Haider-Maurer 3-6 6-1 6-4 6-4 while sixth seed Tomas Berdych is through following a 4-6 7-6(5) 7-6(3) 6-1 win over Bernard Tomic.
Mikhail Youzhny, the 17th seed, lost out to Jimmy Wang in four sets while Jeremy Chardy beat Marinko Matosevic in a five-set thriller on court 17.

Letter writer says criticism of new president wrong
To the Editor:
In a recent letter to your paper, the writer indicates that the President, Dr. Jerry Steward, has priorities that do not fit his early background and appear to be inconsistent with the average employee of the college.
I have known Dr. Steward since he arrived on campus as a political science professor and general counsel for the college. For the past 20 years he has worked to provide a quality education for OCCC students and to upgrade our facilities through various financial resources. (His experience as an ex-legislator has proved valuable in working with the State Legislature for equal funding for the college.)
Dr. Jerry Steward has been president for three and a half months.
While the "galas" may seem numerous, the funds and time for these events have not affected any college programs and the work schedule for the president.
The president of a college has many responsibilities.
Dr. Steward will work for the staff, focus on the students, and be an excellent president. Please support him during this initial period.

I've come to Croxley's a number of times and I wish I could give it a better review but unfortunately I cannot. I've gone here nearly every day of the week (not consecutively but over time!) and I have to say the only reason to come here is for the wing specials and the beer. This place has a great imported beer selection (from England, Germany, Belgium and Canada) as well as seasonal beers, local brews, IPAs, Amber, Dark, Pale, Fruit Ales, and their "Angry Ales" with 7+% ABV all mostly on tap. They do not carry Bud, Coors or Miller but they have enough to make up for it.
As for the wing specials, they have added restrictions and requirements in order to get the special including adding a 20% gratuity (only way the staff would actually get tipped) and a 1hr 30min time limit on your table--yet we've been there longer because service is so terrible you are guaranteed to be tapping your fingers on the table waiting for service. This isn't even based on one experience rather it occurs every single time (I've been here 20+ times and have had 10+ waitresses--they're all terrible!). The last time I was here with a group, the waitress slipped an item on the tab that we didn't order. If it weren't for my pregnant wife (the only one not drinking), we probably would have paid for it. You never know if these things are intentional, so keep an eye out!
As for the look and feel of the place, the only decent area is the bar. The rest of the place is bare open space with a lot of TV's. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting at night and some of the tightest spaces I've ever encountered. I feel like there is more room in a porta-potty.
When it comes to the prices, the wing special really can't be beat. But for the rest of the food, it's average priced pub fare and average quality--nothing spectacular. If it weren't for their beers and wings, this place probably would not stay in business, but I will most likely be back.

The International Mathematical Union traces its origins back to 1920.
The President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, drew up Fourteen Points on 8 January 1917 on which to end World War I. These had not been agreed by the allies. On 4 October 1918 the German government approached Wilson, looking to start peace negotiations and Wilson presented them with the Fourteen Points. After nearly three weeks of negotiations without the other allies being involved, Germany accepted the Fourteen Points on 23 October. The British and French were certainly unhappy with some of the Fourteen Points and an difficult period followed.
In the middle of all of this, Wilson proposed another idea to Britain and France, namely that a structure should be put in place to re-establish international cooperation in science. His proposal was for an International Research Council which would be organised round International Unions for each of the various scientific subjects. These International Unions would operate through National Committees in the countries of the eleven Allied Powers, with these National Committees each supported by its National Academy of Science and National Research Council. The International Unions would have the power to invite neutral countries to join, but not those countries against whom the Allied Powers had fought. Wilson's proposal was accepted and in 1919 the International Research Council was founded and, in the following year, the International Mathematical Union was established.
The series of International Congresses of Mathematicians had begun in Zurich in 1897 but no congress was held during World War I (1914-18). The first post World War I International Congress of Mathematicians was held in Strasbourg in 1920. At this Congress a General Assembly of the International Mathematical Union was held. There were delegates from each of the eleven Allied Powers at the General Assembly. They made a number of decisions:
- All neutral countries were invited to join the Union.
- Germany, Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria could not be members under the terms of the International Research Council.
- It was decided to link the International Mathematical Union to the International Congresses of Mathematicians, giving the Union the power to determine the place and date of each International Congress of Mathematicians. Only those from countries which were members of the International Research Council could attend the Congresses.
- Charles De la Vallée Poussin was elected President for four years, and Gabriel Koenigs was elected Secretary General for eight years.
In 1922, following the collapse of a bid from New York to hold the 1924 Congress, John Charles Fields made a bid to hold it in Toronto under the auspices of the International Mathematical Union. This meant that the congress could not be truly international because of the exclusion rules and many opponents of the Union threatened to refuse to attend the Toronto Congress. Although mathematicians from Germany, Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria did not attend, those from other countries were persuaded to attend, particularly since mathematicians from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, India and Spain, countries which were not members of the International Research Council, were allowed to attend the Congress. The reason given was that these were countries:-
... which had not yet joined the International Research Council.Pincherle was elected President of the International Mathematical Union at the 1924 Congress.
In 1925 the International Research Council invited Germany, Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria to join the Council and all associated Unions. In 1931 it was replaced by the International Council of Scientific Unions which had no restrictions on membership. If one imagines that common sense had suddenly prevailed, sadly this was not the case.
Pincherle invited all mathematicians to the International Congress of Mathematicians to be held in 1928 in Bologna, Italy. Koenigs on the other hand argued that Germany had not joined the International Research Council (although invited to do so) and hence by the International Mathematical Union's statutes German mathematicians could not attend. Technically of course, Koenigs was right. The argument had little effect on the Bologna Congress which was attended by mathematicians from a wide range of countries and was a great success. The argument, however, paralysed the International Mathematical Union.
An argument at the General Assembly of the International Mathematical Union during the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich in 1932 voted to suspend the Union and set up a Commission, chaired by Francesco Severi with Gaston Julia as vice-chairman, to discuss re-establishing it. Julia reported to the International Congress of Mathematicians at Oslo in 1936 that the recommendation was that the Union should not be re-established.
Marshall Stone was largely responsible for having the Union re-established after World War II. Much of the groundwork was done during the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1950 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The International Mathematical Union was formally refounded in 1951 and the first General Assembly of the new International Mathematical Union was held in 1952.
