If there's one place you want to be this year, it's in semiconductor stocks.
After snoring its way to a 5% decline in 2012, the chip sector is going to look more like Flash Gordon than Rip van Winkle in the New Year. Projections are calling for across-the-board revenue growth of as much as 10% – and some parts of the chip market could advance at three times that already-hefty pace.
Double-digit growth in a slow-growth economy is pretty great all by itself. But the fact that semiconductor stocks have actually been negatively correlated to the broader stock market means this is an investment that could also serve as a bit of a hedge against a drop in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
So let's take a little tour of the latest forecasts.
Our first stop will be accounting-and-consulting firm KPMG LLC.
In its latest Global Semiconductor Survey, which it conducts annually, KPMG found that three-quarters of the semiconductor executives it polled are expecting revenue growth this year. Two-thirds expect to hire more workers (up from 48% in last year's survey) and 71% say annual industry profitability will increase in 2013.
The survey, conducted in September, polled more than 150 sector leaders – primarily senior-level executives – at device, foundry and "fabless" manufacturers. Half of those companies have revenues of $1 billion or more.
The execs' consensus viewpoint: The semi sector will experience a recovery that builds up steam – especially heading into the second half of the year.
Let's consider a couple of other predictions.
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) – the chip sector's chief trade group – says worldwide semiconductor sales will advance 7.2% this year after a tepid 0.4% gain in 2012. And market forecaster International Data Corp. (IDC) says global semi growth will reach 4.9% this year after a flat 2012, with most of the growth loaded into the second half of 2013.
Even Forbes columnist Jim Handy – an industry analyst and former chip-industry insider who predicted a flat 2012 in the face of industry bullishness – is expecting a strong semi-sector showing in the New Year. It was Handy who said that growth could reach 10% in 2013 – following a decline of as much as 5% last year.
"2013 will be a turning point for the semiconductor market … growth will return from negative numbers," Handy wrote on New Year's Eve. "Investors who understand this will be able to properly navigate the timing of their semiconductor investments to maximize their return."
If these numbers still aren't igniting your excitement fuse, you have to remember that the figures contained in these forecasts are just averages. To truly understand where and when to invest, you have to look behind the numbers. You need to see what the chief growth drivers are, and know where the major growth is taking place – before you can render a thumbs-up or thumbs-down verdict on the semi sector as a profit play.
And this time around – with the surge in semi sales we see for the year – there's been a change.
During the Golden Era of baseball, when Joe DiMaggio, the so-called "Yankee Clipper," patrolled centerfield for the Bronx Bombers, baseball fans had a saying: "As DiMag goes, so go the Yankees."
For years, there's been a similar corollary in the chip market: As the beige box goes, so go semiconductors. In short, during the halcyon days of the "Wintel" monopoly, computers – especially PCs – drove sales. So each time there was a new chip or operating-system upgrade cycle, semi sales soared.
Now, however, computers have fallen back to the No. 3 slot in terms of importance. And even wireless devices have been leapfrogged by the new king: consumer devices.
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) says consumer electronic sales advanced an estimated 5.9% on a global basis in 2012, and expects that growth to carry over into the New Year. And the big drivers will continue to be tablet computers and smartphones.
Tablet shipments for the current year are projected to exceed 105 million units, generating $35.6 billion in shipment revenue. That represents an increase of 54% on a unit basis and 22% on a revenue basis.
Smartphone shipments will exceed 125.8 million this year, a jump of 16%. Total revenue: $37 billion.
Networked-enabled TVs (20% growth in 2012) and 3D-enabled displays (75% growth last year) will also contribute to growth.
These catalysts are important to understand because the consumer-electronic and computer markets together account for about 60% of all semiconductors sold.
But new catalysts are emerging. Demand growth is also coming from autos, industrial uses and energy. Indeed, industry executives told KPMG that "renewal energy" (insider jargon for battery technologies) will be a major growth driver over the next three years.
IDC says global semiconductor sales will reach $319 billion in 2013. In the longer term the global semiconductor market will show a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% percent from 2011 to 2016, reaching $368 billion in 2016. If that projection is right, we're looking at several more years of growth beyond this one, meaning the right stock picks could provide a nice payoff.
And don't forget the afore-mentioned bonus – the possible hedging effect … a pretty nice potential bonus, given the uncertainty of the current markets.
In a study done last month, market researcher Bespoke Investment Group LLC (BIG) said that, in the prior six months, the only sector that was actually "negatively correlated" to broader stocks is the semiconductor sector (-0.21). So if you are really concerned that U.S. stocks could sell off, this could be one investment that will provide actual growth – and act as a hedge against a market downturn.
We'll come back next week with some specific stock recommendations to let you capitalize on this.
[Editor's Note: We recommend investors employ a 25% "trailing stop" on all recommendations.]

Recording the Guitar Direct - Part 1
The direct guitar sound needs major EQ help most of the time since the mixer path is not voiced for this application, whereas a guitar amp is. What I am saying is guitar amps are designed with a tone circuit that is friendly regarding the guitar pickups tone.
The direct box is used for changing the guitar high impedance signal (could be around 100,000 ohms) to low impedance (150 to around 600 ohms). Something to remember is that a low impedance source can plug into a high impedance input but not the other way around, unless run through a direct box.
There are three basic direct box designs. The old style would be a transformer type (passive electronics). The next design to follow was an active electronic circuit using an op amp and without a transformer. There are also hybrids using both a transformer and active electronics. The third is a tube design. OK, in this era, there are also other designs, such as a channel strip concept that has direct box electronics and everything you would find on a mixer module. If you're using that, basically everything is the same regarding the direct box stuff. More on this in the next article.
The passive transformer circuit usually sounds dark and mushy, meaning soft and no punch. Note that the quality of the transformer makes a big difference. The Jenson servo transformer is said to sound good. But I prefer the active direct box style since it is typically more punchy than the transformer type. Tube units will surely be warmer sounding compared to the solid state op amp style. Dig, all these have a specific sound and should be used per application.
The typical direct box has a 1/4-inch female input jack and typically two outputs. One output would be the low impedance output using an XLR connector to route to the mixer input. The other output would be a mult of the input jack (a duplicate of the signal) using a 1/4-inch female jack to be plugged into a guitar amp. A ground switch may also be included on the box. The reason for the ground switch is to eliminate ground hum. When using the direct box, if it has a ground switch, always flip the switch to see which position has less hum.
The direct box typically sends out a signal that is mic level (around 20 dB). In this case, the direct box output would be plugged into a mixer modules mic input. Some direct boxes offer a line-level output. In this case, the direct box would be plugged into a mixer modules line input. (Note on some mixers, both the mic and line input are the same with both using the input trim pot to set to the proper level.)
If the direct box is active (a circuit that uses op amps) it will either be powered by a battery or may have the option to be powered by a mixer that has phantom power (48 volts). If your mixer has phantom power (that is sent through the audio cable), use the phantom power mode to avoid a battery failing during recording.
Some guitars have active electronics that put out a hotter signal. If they do, I hope they offer a low impedance output to avoid having to use a direct box. If not, they may overload the direct box input circuitry if the guitar volume is set to full or near full volume. Keep this in mind.
Another thing to consider is where the guitar player will set the output level on the guitar. Unless the guitar player needs to make level changes on the guitar during the song, its always best to have the guitar volume set to full up. If the guitar volume is lower than full up, the resistance factor within the guitar output pot would change the tone, making the sound darker. (Yes, as I mentioned above, if the guitar has active electronics and needs to run through the direct box, the guitar volume might need to be lower than full up to avoid distortion.)
More to Consider
The considerations continue. Review this and the following paragraph when setting up the mixer/recorder path!!! If the guitar has "active electronics," the tone control(s) may have a wide range of tonal possibilities. Options may be bass, mid and treble. If the active EQ is included on the electric guitar, before EQing at the mixer, and if you are not the guitar player, work with the guitar player regarding EQ settings to get the best EQ on the guitar before EQing on the mixer.
Note if the electric guitar instrument has active EQ, this may be good and bad. If the active EQ circuit is noisy, set the EQ settings to "flat" (typically there will be "detent" positions on the pots). If the EQ circuit has a bypass switch, bypass the EQ. If you like the EQ settings the guitar player comes up with, and if there are markers on the guitar instrument EQ pots, ask what the settings are and write them down on the track sheet in the comments section, just in case the settings are moved. If there are no number markers on the tone pots, use Scotch tape or any tape and tape down the pots so they will not move. You may think this is silly but the pots may easily get moved by accident during the recording session.
Plugging Into the Direct Box
Note this article is not including a guitar amp but just recording the guitar direct. We will add the amp into the chain after the next article. (And all of this information relates to bass guitar as well.)
OK, plug the guitar into the direct box and plug the direct box output into the mixer via options mentioned in the next paragraph:
Anchoring Down Cable from the Direct Box to the Mixer
OK, you now have the direct box plugged into the mixer so its time to do some safety work. We do not want someone tripping on the cable and ruining the take, or hurting their precious little head (though if its the drummer, it probably wouldn't hurt anything important ouch!) (Note that most of the last sentence was contributed by our brilliant editor who has just proven he is very funny).
If a wood floor, duct tape the cable a foot away from the direct box to the studio mic-input panel, or recording console mic input, or to the A to D converter box (computer based digital recorder). The best way is to cover all the cable with tape. Start taping down the cable a foot away from the direct box and duct tape all the way to the mic patch bay or mixer. There should be a very little amount of mic cable slack at the mic stand base. Since there will typically be cable slack at the other end, cable tie the slack in a circle after plugging into the mic input destination and tape this down, if someone could possibly trip over the mic cable slack.
If you are low on duct tape, cross the cable in one foot strips about every two or three feet. If you have very little duct tape, spread out the strips further. Artist tape or any thin easily ripped tape will not do the job. Keep the cable taped down tight, meaning no slack between spaced out tape strips. In the cabled areas where foot traffic will be heavy, do you best to cover the cable totally with duct tape.
If your studio has carpet, pass on duct tape (this leaves glue residue) and put something over the cable, such as throw rugs. Bathroom rugs seem to work in a pinch. Or get some carpet remnants and cut them up to suit your needs. If you use carpet on a wood floor, make sure that it wont move if someone walks across it. A rubber type bottom is a good idea in this situation.

Enjoy High-Quality Beef while Reducing your Carbon "Hoof Print"
Oregon Natural Meats (ONM) is a local, vertically-integrated, family-owned and operated meat company producing and selling natural meat products. We focus our sales and marketing emphasis on Oregon animals, local feeding systems, local suppliers and local customers, all in an effort to support the growing "Locavore" movement.
Only pasture raised and source-verified beef cattle are selected for the ONM program, and are then fed a high-quality, 100% vegetarian diet consisting of "Upcycled" brewer's grain from Ninkasi Brewing Company and/or "Upcycled" grass pellets from the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Our cattle are carefully processed at a small local USDA federally inspected facility near Eugene, Oregon. The carcasses are dry-aged before selected parts are further processed. Premium wholesale cuts are further aged, both dry and in the bag, under stringent temperature and sanitary controls, before being distributed to customers. This closely controlled processing and dual-aging system results in locally produced meat products with premium safety, quality, consistency and workmanship.
Oregon Natural Meats strives to be the preferred supplier of high-quality meat to local customers who desire food products that are all natural and produced close to home, using sustainable agricultural practices. Our integrated network of raising, finishing and processing cattle and natural meat occurs within 100 miles of our homestead ranch in Eugene, Oregon.
Are you a Locavore? A Locavore (n) is a person who attempts to buy and eat only foods grown, produced and processed close to their home. Animals in the Oregon Natural Meats program are born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and then finished and processed using small, family-owned and operated companies. We are committed to providing natural, restaurant-quality meat with minimal processing, no added hormones or antibiotics, and using sustainable, cruelty-free and humane handling systems.
Buying local reduces the carbon "Hoof Print" associated with long distance trucking of grain and animals, as well as the costly transport of meat products from outside of the area.
Our unique approach to cattle selection, management, feeding, processing, marketing and sales is a perfect fit for the Pacific Northwest Locavore looking for an excellent product from local suppliers.

This Slate story, about a candidate for a philosophy professorship who had her job offer rescinded, attempts to make the point that academic institutions are cavalierly running roughshod over job candidates. Or as the article's lead-in states, to gain entry to the academy, "it's not 'lean in' so much as 'bend over.'"
It's very likely the case that institutions wield disproportionate power over candidates; tenure-track jobs in philosophy departments have always been a buyer's market.
But so what? The interesting thing about this story isn't Nazareth College's decision to rescind the offer as it is the ignorance of a highly-educated professional to understand how negotiations work. Here are a few lessons other job-seeking academics can take from this sorry tale:
It's All a Negotiation
The eponymous "W" made her first mistake in thinking negotiation is some separate part of the job seeking process. Apparently she told the school, upon getting the offer, that she was going into "negotiation mode." Say what? The whole process of seeking a job is one big negotiation. Sure, the brass tacks come at the end. But it's a package of relationship-building and dialogue. You can't think that you can abruptly shift that all aside at the end. Any list of asks communicates something about you to the other side. In sensitive or emotional negotiations, the wrong asks – or asks at the wrong time – can blow the whole deal.
Did W have any understanding of this dynamic? Nope:
"This is how I thought negotiating worked, how I learned to do it, and, for that matter, how I think it should work: You ask about a number of perks and maybe get some of them. I was expecting to get very few of the perks I asked about, if anything … I just thought there was no harm in asking."
There are plenty of times where "there is no harm in asking." And there are plenty of things that you can ask for that won't cause any harm. But ask for big things, at the wrong time, and you may well bring the negotiation to a screeching halt.
You can't really get a sense for where the sensitivities lie unless you've taken the time to figure out and account for what's important to your counterparty. And here W's fatal error is obvious.
Nazareth College is a small liberal arts school. It is, as W's rejection letter noted, "teaching and student focused." Yet 4 out of 5 of W's asks were for things that would reduce her time in the classroom: special maternity leave, a guaranteed sabbatical, a delayed start date, and a reduced maximum course load for her first few years. This set of asks sends a powerfully negative message about W's commitment to teaching and student life.
What's more, two of these asks also raise additional problems. Asking in advance for a semester off for maternity leave comes off as naive and entitled (as institutions have existing policies for maternity leave). And I suspect that asking to delay the start date for a year came off as "retrading" – the bringing up of an issue at the 11th hour that the other party thought settled. Retrading has been death to many a negotiation, and experienced negotiators know to avoid it at all costs. There had likely been discussions about the need to fill the role, the timing, etc. If this was the first time the school had heard that W wanted to delay her start, that would be offputting indeed.
Know Your Leverage
Besides knowing what's important to the other party, you've got to know how much negotiating leverage you've got. Leverage determines how much you can ask for, and how hard you can press for those things. What a superstar, experienced professor can ask for is worlds apart from what a first-timer like W can expect. About the only leverage a first-timer has is inertia – the fact that the candidate selection process is long and time-intensive, and the school may be reluctant to re-open it. But this is a thin reed to rely on in a job search. There may be another candidate who is a close second. Or your selection may have been a narrow one, with factions of the department opposing it. Objectivity about your attractiveness as a candidate is key; having friendly, collegial meetings and a job offer is not the same as being heavily in demand.
Don't Overreach
Understanding the sensitivities of the other side and knowing your leverage will give you a good sense of what you can acceptably ask for. Even the superstar professor can overreach and fatally offend the sensibilities of the institution; it's just that such an individual has far more negotiating room than a newly-minted professor will. It's here that W got it so wrong – you can't just assume that "there's no harm in asking" for your wish list of perks. With the prize so close to being in hand, she stumbled over this most basic of negotiating principles by badly overreaching.
So does this mean, as the Slate article suggests, that candidates for first-time academic positions are completely powerless and can't negotiate? Of course not; it just means they need to recognize the relative leverage of the parties and calibrate their negotiating strategy accordingly.
It's almost never a good idea to "shoot for the moon" in any negotiation. But it's a particularly bad strategy when you're in a low-leverage position.

A polling agency hit up Coloradans to get their take on some hot-button issues, so naturally they talked Tebow.
Specifically, state residents were asked, "Who would you rather have as the Broncos quarterback: Peyton Manning or Tim Tebow?"
The vote predictably went the way of the new Broncos quarterback and former NFL MVP, with 53% of respondents choosing Manning, 21% choosing Tebow and 25% saying they were unsure.
Tebow, now a New York Jet, won the vote among Coloradans who identified themselves as "very conservative" by a whopping margin, getting 53% of the vote to 28% for Manning. Democrats voted for Manning 61% of the time vs. 13% for Tebow, while 45% of Republicans chose Manning vs. 35% that chose Tebow.
Manning, 36, has won four league MVP awards and is coming of multiple neck surgeries. Tebow, 24, completed 46% of his passes last season yet led the Broncos to a playoff victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

The AARP team in Maine reached out to letter carrier coordinators and developed a strong relationship with the Bangor United Way to build awareness and participation. AARP Maine State Director Lori Parham appeared on local television newscasts in Portland and Bangor, emphasizing the threat of hunger in the state. The Maine office also achieved mentions in a wide variety of general and targeted media channels.
New Jersey
Drive to End Hunger grocery bags weren't distributed in New Jersey, but the state team used its energy and know-how to create awareness. It got the message out via its quarterly newsletter that reaches 180,000 recipients, its network of 76 state chapters, its busy calendar of community events, meetings and conferences, and one of the state's Spanish-language newspapers.
North Carolina
AARP North Carolina collaborated with letter carriers and food banks in Raleigh and Charlotte to host press conferences in each city, with Suzanne LaFollette-Black, associate state director-community outreach, describing the AARP and AARP Foundation contributions and presenting food insecurity data for North Carolina. Suzanne also represented AARP and AARP Foundation on a Raleigh television talk show, reaching an estimated audience of more than 600,000.
About 1 million grocery bags were distributed in the state. It turns out that the AARP sponsorship information printed on them was useful as well as promotional. More than 100 pounds of food donated by residents of a retirement community was missed by their postal carrier. They called AARP North Carolina because of the branding on the grocery bags and arrangements were made for a food bank to pick it up. A perfect example of AARP/AARP Foundation impact at the very local level.

Oil coming up one side only..help!
More troubles with that 383 stroker yet! I had the heads rebuilt and am putting it back together now. This 383 is a recent 1500 miles all rebuilt 383 stroker 4 bolts main....it always consumed oil since day one at the rate of about 200 miles one quart..that is why I had the heads redone thinking the valves seals responsible.
I've just tried priming it with the drill and the pressure will come to about 60 psi and oil flow through the rockers but only on the DRIVER side..not a drop coming up the passenger side! I had it going maybe 10 minutes all together.
Now is this a problem I could have caused putting back things to gether wrongly or could it be it always ran like this since rebuilt ?I mean is it possible to think a motor running without heavy dammage while having oil one side only?
If it could have ran this way could it be this situation creating a very large volume of oil driver side under the valve cover that has the PCV fitted to then seeing it all sucked in whatever baffling it has?
Well I thought I was finaly going to see the darn thing running decently but it seems I'm not out the woods yet...
What should I do next apart throwing t out?
thanks, Ronald.

Learn to make extraordinary cakes with Cake Art from the Culinary Institute of America by Chefs Kate Cavotti & Alison McLoughlin, featuring recipes for Glazed Cake with Chocolate Tiles, Chocolate Flower Cupcakes, Chocolate Sponge Cake, and Hard Ganache.
Serves 10 to 12
You will need oil-based food colors for this project because liquid and gel colors are water-based and will not mix with the chocolate.
1. Temper the dark chocolate or melt the coating chocolate. Keep the chocolate fluid so it will be spreadable. This can be accomplished by periodically flashing the chocolate over a hot water bath.
2. Gently melt the cocoa butter or white chocolate in a double boiler. Allow it to cool slightly and color with the food coloring. Fill paper cornets with the colored cocoa butter or white chocolate and create a design over the piece of marble or acetate. If you are using acetate, tape the sheet to the work surface so the tiles do not curl as they set.
3. Pour some of the dark chocolate into the center of the acetate sheet and spread it thinly on top of the cocoa butter with an offset palette knife. Add more chocolate if necessary to obtain an even coating.
4. Once the chocolate is almost set, use a pizza wheel or knife to cut it into equal-sized tiles using a ruler or a cardboard template. Begin by cutting strips one way and then cutting in the opposite direction.
5. Allow the tiles to set completely and then lift them off the acetate.

I don't know if its just me, but the area that I build most of my props seems to be getting a little bit cramped. Little pieces and half built stuff laying all over the place. Since I am semi new to building my own stuff, I was wondering if this normal.
And also, is it normal that I have 3 different costumes going at one time?
Any one else have this problem:D

Two stage heating thermostat recommendation
I just installed a new 80k btu York high efficiency two stage gas furnance in our vacation property. I picked up a basic manual two stage stat from the orange box store, but I'm not happy with the performance. It's a no name Filtrete brand stat and I should have known better than to buy something cheap. The thermostat will call for heat and then kick out 10-15 seconds later before the blower even kicks in. This happens for 2-3 times before the furnace will run for a cycle.
Anyway, I don't need any fancy programming capabilities since this will be installed in a vacation property. I'm looking for something simple and reliable, but with two stage capability. Any recommendations?
Here is a search for Honeywell thermostats that are non-programmable multi stage: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=...te=&fr2=sp-top If you want something that you can access or monitor while away, you could look at the 3m Filtrete CT-50, which is manufactured by Radiothermostat.com. It has a Simple screen, which allows it to work like a non-programmable.

'South Africa's Schwarzenegger' aims to lift poor with township gyms
By Joe Brock
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Striding around the gym he built in his grandmother's backyard, South African bodybuilding champion Tumi Masite recalls the day Arnold Schwarzenegger's former trainer paid him a visit.
Reg Park had heard about Masite during a trip to South Africa a decade ago and offered him advice that helped the bodybuilder win national championships. Now Masite wants to give other poor South Africans a chance to lead a healthier - and more prosperous - life.
"Reg Park taught me a lot. He was also from a backyard gym. My dream became to reach out to the disadvantaged communities," Masite told Reuters, gesturing to a rubbish-strewn street in Johannesburg's rundown Alexandra township, where men sit swigging beer and smoking cigarettes.
"A lot of black people lack basic education about a healthy lifestyle. Lots of people are not working. Ikasi Gym is here for the people."
Masite still works out in the courtyard of his family home in Alexandra, but much of the property has been converted into a popular gym, packed with locals lifting weights, riding exercise bikes and punching boxing bags. He's opened two more of his Ikasi Gym branches and plans to expand further.
His goal is to bring exercise to South Africans who can't afford $60 a month at upmarket chains. Masite's 350 members pay 100 rand ($6.45) a month.
Masite believes his business can succeed because townships are tight, often neglected communities, and he can offer more than just bodybuilding training and a place to work out.
Ikasi Gym is helping around 50 people recover from strokes. Masite also trains young South Africans who have had run-ins with the law or drug problems. Some of Ikasi's members have got jobs in security since joining. Continued...

Painful Growth
April 26, 2009 by 8 Comments
Growing is painful. No one who is now mature bypassed adolescence, and while we may sometimes feel nostalgia for a time when things were (or I should say seemed) simpler, most of us appreciate the broader and deeper, if more complex and less easily manageable, view of things that comes with growing up.
Today in my Sunday school class, I said a little bit about James Fowler's "stages of faith". Without going into detail here, the main idea is that there are discernable (if not always utterly distinct and separate) stages in our faith development just as in our emotional, psychological and even physical development. This is important, not least because it can help place our questioning about and even in some cases loss of faith in context. Just as the stage of questioning authority and at least a modicum of rebellion is a natural part of adulthood, and need not be permanently destructive if handled wisely and appropriately, so too the loss of an immature faith, or at least questioning of overly simplistic views we had when we were younger, not only need not be the end of faith, but is quite possibly the only route to take on the way to a mature faith.
Biblical studies can be a crucial factor in facilitating getting to the questioning stage from the one before it. It opens up complexities where we thought things were simple, and that's an important role for my field to play. But surely that is not the only role for Biblical scholarship that is in service to or dialogue with the church. And often it seems like we need to offer more assistance to those who have gotten through to the other side of the questioning stage and are ready for their second naiveté. And there are even greater questions for those of us, whether involved in education in general or in a church, who are in a situation that ought to be facilitating the spiritual, emotional, intellectual and psychological development and progress of a variety of individuals who will inevitably be at varied stages in their "walks".
Growth is painful, and it is not surprising that, given the change to do so, many of us resist doubt and questioning, since it will indeed lead to at least discomfort and quite possibly the trauma the mystics referred to as the dark night of the soul. But the only way to reach maturity is through the tunnel. And although it isn't visible from this side, and sometimes isn't visible for a while after entering, the mature – whether emotionally and spiritually – can tell you this: not only is there light at the end of the tunnel, but life is better on the far side of the tunnel. Grown up life, and grown up spirituality, are certainly harder and more challenging that their kindergarten counterparts. But they are also more rewarding.

The Most Shared (Viral) Brands of 2010
Rubber Republic offers an informative analysis of what branded content was most shared, and where.
Rubber Republic has developed a Viral Brand Chart highlighting the most shared branded content of 2010, based on weekly data from their Viral Ad Network. You might remember a few from this list – particularly those shared during the World Cup this past summer (i.e., Nike's 'Write the Future'). One of Rubber Republic's most interesting observations is the significant increase in Facebook shares that occurred during the second half of the year (3x as much), and the associated increase in 'average views per viral'. As noted by Rubber Republic: if your campaign now goes 'viral', it's likely to sustain its virality for longer due to the wider extent of sharing within Facebook.
Also of interest is the popularity of parodies, as well as that of serial videos – 5 out of the top 6 videos were part of a series (keeping viewers interested). The infographic can be viewed in its entirety below.

Hollis was the first wave of costumed heroes, called Nite Owl. When Hollis retired, Dan took over his mantle. They talk about some old times, afterwards Dan heads home.Dan enters his home to find Rorschach eating a can of beans at his kitchen table.

Dan says they should go to the basement to talk.Rorschach talks about how he thinks someone out there is killing ex-costumes. ('costumes' is a term in the book that refers to the costumed heroes). Dan thinks that Rorschach is being paranoid. Rorschach leaves, belittling Dan by saying 'you quit.' Dan is left alone in the basement with his old costume.Rorschach's journal is narrated. He talks about searching for The Comedian's killer, how pathetic his landlady is, and his overall disgust in the city.Rorschach enters a bar to ask questions from the patrons.

Columbus Wedding In December
"The current University Hall building is a replica of the first building on campus. It is home to the Graduate School, College of the Humanities, and Colleges of the Arts and Sciences. In the lobby of University Hall is University Museum. It has lots of artifacts and memorabilia of the university."
Mindy and Brian's Wedding
"The Ohio State University is one of the things Columbus is most known for. The campus is quite spread out, but it is worth a trip to see the horseshoe!"
Ann and Luke's Wedding
"Great location! We had the ceremony, cocktails, dinner, and cake/dancing all in the same building. The whole building was ours for the entire day. It's great because there are 3 floors, and the guests were kept moving throughout the day, so it didn't get boring. We were on the main floor for the ceremony, then guests went downstairs to a dining room with an outdoor patio for cocktails & appetizers. Then it was upstairs to the 3rd floor for dinner. After dinner, we returned to the main floor which had been transformed into a dance floor with a bar & seating area for guests to have drinks & cake. Most importantly, it sits right on The Oval on campus at Ohio State. A perfect setting for a Buckeye wedding!"

Experience Opportunities
Beyond practices, rehearsals, and performances, Albion College music students expand their learning, enhance their skills, and gain expertise in a wide variety of ways.
Student Research
The Music Department welcomes and encourages scholarly research. Students who have special talent and interest in this area should contact a professor with whom to work. After the area of study has been defined, a request must be made to the Department for permission to write a research paper for consideration of Departmental Honors.
Details regarding the submission of a proposal for FURSCA (the College's Foundation for Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity) can be found on the FURSCA website. For Departmental Honors, the student should submit an appropriate topic, general outline of proposed study, and a preliminary bibliography. Outstanding papers will be submitted for honors recognition.
Off-Campus Programs
The Music Department faculty encourages students to take advantage of opportunities for off-campus studies and/or internships during the fall semester of the junior year. (Students who go off campus in the second semester may need to return for a fifth year of study to graduate.)
Students who have participated in these programs have found them to be immensely worthwhile, helpful in clarifying career choices, and of assistance in establishing contacts for future employment. Examples of off-campus programs include:
New York, GLCA Arts Program
An opportunity for an internship in music in New York under the auspices of the Great Lakes Colleges Association (GLCA). Students live in a GLCA building with students from various colleges, work in a music-related area, and often study privately with a New York music teacher.
Chicago, The Lyric Opera
An opportunity for an internship with the Chicago Lyric Opera in which students are assigned a variety of experiences such as ticket sales, fund raising, production, and accounting. Private lessons and coaching are available for students selected for this program.
Albion College encourages students to spend a semester or a year studying in a foreign country; usually this study is coupled with ability to speak another language. There are excellent conservatories and music schools in Europe; bear in mind that admission requirements are often strict. The College's Center for International Education and Off-Campus Programs has details on locations, applications, and more.
Other internships.
Individual internships may be arranged and tailored to fit an individual situation. These should be explored and planned carefully with faculty advisors.
Student Employment
The Music Department fills several jobs throughout the academic year, including:
- Managers for band, jazz ensemble, orchestra and choral ensembles
- Librarians for band, jazz ensemble, orchestra and choral ensembles
- Recording Technicians
- Music Office Assistants
- Theory Tutors
- Departmental Publicity Manager
- Computer Lab Assistants
- Photographers
Job descriptions and application information can be obtained from the Music Department secretary in Goodrich Chapel.
Students interested in any of the above opportunities should consult with their faculty advisor or a Music Department faculty member. More information also can be found in the Music Department Handbook.

Thank you my friends for the lovely gifts and kind wishes. Mum has been thinking about me and misses me very much. She knows she was blessed for 18 years and is lucky to have Sylv and Cony. xxx
Hi this is Edie, Sylvia and Conan's Mum. I know we do not pop over to Catster as much as we used to, but we logged into day after a kind gift for Bella appeared only to read that Catster community is coming to an end! This includes our pages, which for many of us stand as memorials to our beloved pets? I am reading this right? As of the 3rd of March I will not be able to view my Edie's page or any of my cats, not able to read the lovely messages from friends we have made over the years. This is so sad. I have made friends I would like to keep in touch with and if you pawmail me we will exchange emails if we have not already.....its not the same :( How to preserve as much of my pages as I can I do not really know where to start so any tips my friends would be welcome. If anyone has though of any other ways we can keep in touch online I would love to know.
with a heavy heart I send much love to all my friends.
from Mummy Cat (to Edie, Sylvia & Conan) xxx
of course I have thought a lot about you this week, as I do every week. But yes more so. So many happy and funny memories. I feel sad but I smile so much when I think about you too and I know I was blessed to have you :)

It's no secret that Canada has an aging population. By 2036, the number of people aged 65 and over is expected to more than double -- growing to 10.4 million from five million. Baby boomers are getting older and soon we're going to see a big push for more home modifications that help them.
Sometimes these changes are big, such as a full-scale renovation to create a barrier-free home or installing an elevator. But in some cases, a few changes is all it takes to make a world of difference. And it really is a world of difference, because as you get older your home becomes a bigger part of your world. Can you imagine not being able to function in it?
People like being independent. They want to stay in their own homes and function in them easily -- and there are many renovations that can help them do that. For instance, because mobility can become an issue as we get older, more homes will need to be accessible for people in walkers or wheelchairs or for those with conditions such as arthritis.
There are plenty of options. Some of the design features we're going to see more of include kitchen cabinets that can be lowered and raised; wheelchair ramps; wider hallways and entryways; lowered peepholes, light switches, countertops and cabinets; countertop extensions that fold down to make working in the kitchen easier for people in wheelchairs; lever-style doorknobs and light switches, which are easier to use if you have arthritis; and less carpeting (if you're in a wheelchair, carpet isn't your best friend). We're going to see more non-slip flooring, too.
The goal is to improve your home for your new needs -- not necessarily rebuilding the house. For example, specialized kitchen installers can add a hydraulic device to your current kitchen cabinets that lowers and raises them. But sometimes all you need is a simple fix, like installing an offset hinge, which makes a door flush with the door jamb. That opens up the doorway a couple of inches, which could be enough for a wheelchair to pass through.
When mobility is an issue, stairs are your worst enemy. That's why some people are choosing to convert their home's main floor. They'll turn the dining room into a bedroom, combine a closet with a bathroom and add an accessible shower. The renovation can be expensive but it might offer the best solution.
If you're already planning to renovate your home, think about what kind of things would be helpful for you 10 to 15 years down the road. Talk to a pro about it. Make sure they know what the issues are and that they have a lot of experience retrofitting homes to make them senior-friendly.
In a bathroom, it might mean adding a more accessible shower, a bathtub with a seat in it or some grab bars, higher toilet seats, easy-to-use faucets, or wall-mounted vanities.
Most bathroom renos are a complete gut and cost at least $10,000. If you're already spending that kind of money, are you willing -- and able -- to spend another $10,000 to make your new bathroom accessible for you when you get older? I always say, when you spend your money smart you spend it once. Take the time now to make that renovation worth it in the long run.
You have to have a mindset that's proactive about aging. It's like saving for retirement. And you'll get much-needed help from smart contractors who are specializing their skills to serve an aging population.
As long as we get the right pros doing what they do best and start thinking ahead, it's a win-win.

USS Miami sub fire on Today Show: Nuclear submarine fire extinguished at U.S. Navy shipyard in Maine
I am a former sailor of the USS Miami (SSN 755) and yesterday evening I was sickened when I started receiving a steady stream of messages on facebook from fellow shipmates. The fire started yesterday at about 5:30 pm and continued burning through the night. 7 where injured but news reports say the injuries where slight. Former crew members and I where up late last night exchanging links to news articles, talking and consoling one another. Today I am somber and hoping the damage to the ship is slight enough that she can be repaired and continue the legacy of the fighting double nickel, or Satan's Atomic Fun Bus as we not so affectionately called her (at the time.)
I honestly feel like I've just gotten the news that a very dear friend has been critically injured and may not make it.

So here we go. Day Four of the St. Johns River Showdown. The twelve-man field just left the dock and are on their way to their first fishing spots. Steve Bowman is up in the chopper as I am typing, shooting photos and BASSCams.
On the slate for today will be the War Room, BASSTrakk, Live Blog, and BASSCams.
Alton Jones is sitting with little over a nine pound lead going into today. In fishing competition leads, that is a big one. But, as we usually say in the Blog, these are the best anglers in the world and, we are in Florida. That deficit by the field can be deminished in one bite. And believe me, there are some big fish still to be had out there. I saw them personnally myself while I was on the water blogging yesterday.
Stay tuned. We will be sending you information as it is passed to us from our team out on the water.

"The difference was two things: Tennessee made the plays at the right time and their serving and passing is better than our serving and passing," Florida coach Mary Wise said. "Those are skills that come with experience and we'll probably get there. Tennessee is just ahead of us right now."
The loss snapped a six-year streak of SEC Tournament titles for the Gators and ended their 20-match tournament winning streak. Collymore and senior Sherri Williams (Orlando, Fla.) were both named to the six-member SEC All-Tournament team.
Collymore finished with a match-high 21 kills, while adding 17 digs for her 27th career double-double, while McGinnis posted 61 assists and a career-best 25 digs with six block assists. Hampton added 15 kills and 15 digs, with Williams finishing with 15 kills and nine total blocks. Senior middle blocker Michelle Chatman (Woodridge, Ill.) ended the match just one kill and one dig shy of the school's first triple-double as she had a career-best 12.0 blocks, nine kills and nine digs. Sophomore Stefanie Douglas (Temple, Texas) also eclipsed her career high with 11 kills with senior Lauren Moscovic (Stockton, Calif.) tying her career high with 19 digs. Junior libero Rachel Engel (Littleton, Colo.) had 22 digs in posting her eighth 20-plus dig match of the season.
The Gators fell behind early in the decisive fifth game as the Lady Vols scored the first four points. The Gators came within three at 6-3 after a kill from Collymore, but that was the closest Florida came the rest of the way as Tennessee closed out the match by scoring nine of the final 10 points.
Florida came out of the gate with a blocking mentality as the Gators used a 13-2 run midway through the first game in out-blocking Tennessee 6.0-2.0 in a 30-18 win. After the Lady Vols took the lead at 8-7 on an ace, the Gators scored 13 of the next 15 points to take a commanding 20-10 lead. Four of Florida's six blocks came during the stretch with Chatman providing a pair of solo blocks and two block assists in the run. The Lady Vols made a late run, scoring five of seven points to close the gap to nine at 27-18, but the Gators put the game away by scoring the final three points on a Chatman kill, a Collymore ace and block assists from Chatman and Williams. The Gators hit .412 in the first game, highlighted by Collymore who hit .600 with six kills on 10 attempts. McGinnis added a team-best seven digs.
The second game was tight the entire way with the Gators leading for a majority of the game before Tennessee scored six of the final eight points to secure a 30-27 win. Neither team led by more than three points in the game as it was close from start to finish. Florida looked to be in a good position when a Tennessee attack error gave the Gators a 25-24 lead. But the Lady Vols then went on their 6-2 run to close out the game. Williams and Douglas led Florida with five kills apiece in the game, while McGinnis finished with five digs.
The Lady Vols took an early lead in the third game and eventually held on for a close 30-27 win as Tennessee out-hit Florida for the second straight game. Tennessee took an early 7-3 lead and the Gators never took the lead the rest of the way. The game stayed close as Florida never trailed by more than three points until the closing stages of the game. Hampton led all Gators with seven kills on .333 hitting, while Engel, McGinnis and Moscovic added seven digs apiece.
The Gators responded in the fourth game to tie the match at 2-2 with a commanding 30-17 win. Fueled by Hampton's serving, Florida used a 10-1 run in the middle stages of the game to take charge. With Florida ahead by one at 12-11, the Gators scored 10 of 11 points in building their lead to 22-13. Four different UF players recorded kills during the stretch. Tennessee closed the gap to seven at 22-15, but that was as close as the Lady Vols got. Florida out-hit Tennessee .300 to .000 in the game with Williams and Collymore leading the Gators with five kills each. Engel chimed in with 10 digs on the defensive side. The Gators also out-blocked Tennessee 6.0-2.0 with Williams posting four blocks.
Florida returns to action for the Gators' final tune-up of the regular season at the St. John's Classic beginning with a contest against St. John's Friday evening at 7 p.m. The Gators will then play either Wake Forest or Towson on Saturday at 4 p.m. Both matches can be heard live on WRUF-AM 850 and www.GatorZone.com.

"The U.S. Census data predict that the number of mixed race college students will increase substantially over the next several years (Renn, 2009). As mixed race Millennials have become more visible on campus, they have challenged "business as usual" for multicultural student services, ethnic studies curricula, and student data collection and reporting (Kellogg & Niskode, 2008; Wong & Buckner, 2008). This chapter defines and describes the mixed race population and identifies key areas of student and academic affairs that are affected by the increasing presence, visibility, and voice of students who do not identify in the old "choose one only" racial categories that dominated official postsecondary data and campus identity politics through the late 20th century. I describe changes in peer culture, identity politics, and academic emphases related to the emergence of a visible mixed race Millennial student population." (p. 227)
