American University Washington College of Law (WCL) announces the second Annual Health Law and Policy Institute, providing JD and LL.M. students and practitioners with an opportunity for intensive training in various aspects of health law and policy over a one-week period.
The Summer Session offers a broad range of custom-developed courses taught by leading practitioners from private practice businesses, health care organizations, government and non-governmental organizations, specifically for an intensive learning format.
The courses are designed to enhance the preparation of legal professionals for practicing health care law, and focus on both theoretical and practical aspects of health law and policy.
Networking Opportunities: For students, the Summer Session at the Health Law and Policy Institute can complement a summer internship or externship in exciting Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, where opportunities for an enriched health care law-related experience abound. Both day and night courses are available. Students can choose among several 1 credit classes and can take up to 3 credits.
Credits: Courses in the Health Law and Policy Institute can be taken for law school credit or for Continuing Legal Education (CLE). The credits can also be used toward an LL.M. Program on Law and Government degree with a Health Law Specialization, from WCL. A Certificate of Attendance will be presented to participants who do not wish to take courses for academic credit.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, 'Brendan's Death Song' – Song Review
The newest single from the Red Hot Chili Peppers is an anthem dedicated to a dearly departed friend. It's half funeral march and half rock 'n' roll wake.
The Brendan in question is Brendan Mullen, a Los Angeles club owner that helped give the living legends their first big break. As the L.A. Times reports, the story goes like this: Frontman Anthony Keatis was on his way to the first days of the Peppers' crucial 2009 reunion rehearsals when he received a mournful text message -- Mullen had just died of a stroke while celebrating his 60th birthday.
Keatis showed up at the studio epically bummed. Mullen had been working on an oral history of the Peppers -- he knew them all well. And so a jam in his memory began, and that slow, sensitive groove was the seed of 'Brendan's Death Song.' The track begins with strummed guitar, tom beats and Keatis singing, "And you are love, you are the lucid dream, you are the ride / And when you hear this you know it's your jam, it's your goodbye."
But more than only sorrow, the fifth single off of 'I'm With You' is also celebration:
"Brendan Mullen had a lot of friends. I was one of them. Brendan was an intellectual, a musician, a writer, a partyer and a regular dude," said bassist Flea, along with the release of the song to radio. "And I speak for all of us when I say to Brendan … a love supreme! Brendan has broken through to the other side!"
Brendan will be missed -- and celebrated.

Dam Liars, Crooks and Killers
By Cassandra Anderson
September 9, 2011
Agenda 21 is the action plan to implement the UN Sustainable Development for total control and depopulation. The Wildlands Project is the blueprint to scrape humans off of 50% of America's landscape through "rewilding". Beneficial dams are being destroyed in the name of rewilding or restoration, using phony environmentalism to achieve these UN goals:
- Human geography: herding humans into areas of water availability, as it is essential for life
- Depopulation: when water is cut off from farmers, this affects the food supply
- Water rights: massive water rights re-allocation hangs in the balance (the Colorado River may be up for grabs)
- Hydro power dam destruction: collapse of energy infrastructure to return to a primitive existence
- Private property: land use & value are drastically changed when property is turned into a swamp or desert
- Federal control: centralized control over resources follows UN policy
- Smart Grid: overwhelming and centralized control that is inefficient and open to sabotage
States' Rights vs. the Supreme Court
Tom Woods explains that States can nullify (invalidate) unconstitutional federal laws, even if they are endorsed by the Supreme Court. In 2005, one State made a law that the federal government opposed and it went all the way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court predictably ruled that the state law was subordinate to "superior" federal law. But this State simply ignored the Supreme Court edict because there was so much public support in favor of the State law. Public opinion and support make it easier to resist federal tyranny.
National Energy Policy: The Cheney Law Massacre
By Cassandra Anderson
September 1, 2011
The US National Energy Policy of 2005 was created under Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force in secret meetings; evidence shows that the energy industry influences foreign policy and may have led us into the Iraq War. Cheney's National Energy Policy is also responsible for electricity deregulation scams, corporate welfare for energy producers and many other problems that we are still suffering from today. Deregulated electricity problems in Texas and other states are a direct result of Cheney's National Energy Policy.
Smart Meter Slavery
By Cassandra Anderson
August 5, 2011
Smart meters are radio frequency microwave meters that communicate with the Smart Grid. The Smart Grid is a transmission system that delivers electricity to from power plants to distribution substations and then from the substations it is delivered to homes and businesses.
The federal Department of Energy (DOE) stated purpose of the Smart Grid is to reduce carbon emissions. Note to DOE: man-made global warming is a lie- go ask NASA, CERN and 30,000 independent scientists.
Incompetence Sets A Precedent- GE Alfalfa
By Cassandra Anderson
July 29, 2011
The USDA, FDA and EPA favor corporations over human health and the environment, especially when it comes to genetically engineered (GE) organisms.
Contemporary law is no longer based on the Constitution and common law, but has been replaced by case law precedents. The GE alfalfa case (Forage Genetics and Monsanto v Geertson Seed Farms) is disturbing because it appears that a dangerous precedent has been set.
How to Arrest The Economy-Strangling EPA
By Cassandra Anderson
June 30, 2011
The Supreme Court ruled on June 20, 2011 that the power to regulate greenhouse gas emissions (primarily carbon) rests with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), saying that the EPA is better equipped to deal with the science of greenhouse gases (aka global warming, climate change and CO2). The Clean Air Act has been expanded and the EPA is in a power grab for jurisdiction over vehicle emissions and is now planning control over utilities.
Is Your Governor For Sale to the EPA?
By Cassandra Anderson
June 8, 2011
Congress failed 3 times to pass laws (HR 2421, S. 1879 and S. 787) for federal control over almost all water, so the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers are declaring jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.

- Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Lotus
Raikkonen's car fails floor flex test
Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus has failed a front floor deflection test after qualifying for the Abu Dhabi, with the issue being referred to the stewards for further investigation.
A floor deflection test was carried out on Raikkonen's car and Nico Hulkenberg's Sauber after the session and the Lotus was found to have failed when the front part of the floor flexed more than 5mm vertically during a test on the left-hand side.
Lotus team representatives have been called to the stewards to explain the flex with Raikkonen's fifth-place grid position potentially at risk.
"After the qualifying session an asymmetric LHS front floor deflection test was carried [out] on car numbers 07 and 11 according to Article 3.17.5," read a report from FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer. "Car number 11 was found in conformity with Article 3.17.5 of the 2013 FIA Formula One Technical Regulations.
"However car number 07 did not comply with Article 3.17.5 of the 2013 FIA Formula One Technical Regulations as the front floor deflected more than 5mm vertically when the load was applied vertically to it at the point which lies 100mm of the car centre line on the LHS [left-hand side]."
The rules surrounding floor flexibility have been tightened in recent years to stop teams gaining an aerodynamic advantage by running cars lower at the front. Under the regulations the floor cannot flex more than 5mm when 2000 Newtons of force are applied to it from below.
However, if Lotus' representatives can prove that the flexing was due to damage then a penalty may not be applied. Romain Grosjean's car failed a floor deflection test at the Hungarian Grand Prix this year due to damage and he was not penalised.

Say Yes MoreTuesday, January 17th, 2012
This article is an extract of chapter #3 in Karl Moore's best-selling book, 'The 18 Rules of Happiness.'
"I will say yes to every favor, request, suggestion and invitation. I will swear to say yes where once I would say no." – Danny Wallace
"No!" is a wonderful word.
It's powerful, it's universally understood, and it stops everything in its tracks. By saying no, you're instantly slamming the door and holding it shut, ensuring nothing else gets through.
But how many of us say "No!" way too often?
You see, "No" really holds us back in life. It closes us off to many of life's wonderful experiences, and causes us to resist what happens around us.

|In other news, I got a new bike! It's pretty.
To conclude my contributions to the Santa Monica Patch column Green City, I'd like to post up links to the series in it's entirety for anyone interested in the content. Items are posted in order of last to first.
One of my favorite parts of writing this column, titled Green City, was seeing some direct impact in the community because of my writing. The post SMC's Bike-Parking Problems in particular. It got picked up by Santa Monica College students, who rallied around needing more bike parking. A dedicated group formed a committee on the subject, my article was placed on the first agenda, and now a few months later the school is on the verge of instigating a new bike parking master plan and new funds are being allocated. I'll have more details on that if the plan passes, which I hear also includes some provisions for skateboard parking, awesome!
It's kind of a mind trip looking back at the material, especially the first few posts, it feels like ages ago now, and some of my thoughts have evolved since then. If you have been reading along, you've probably also caught some increasing concern and awareness on the connection to all of these topics to world energy issues, particularly oil supply.
This line of thought has been influenced by a lot of reading material I've been going through in the past year, and it will continue to shape my thinking and writing going forward. I have come to the conclusion our energy problems, in transportation primarily, are going to get a lot worse, a lot faster than most people were thinking or preparing for (including myself from a year ago). There will be more on that later, but here are the posts:

Hi everyone, as we are often asking each other for good cavalier shampoos i thought i'd let you know a new one ive tried & love! It smells fab but more importantly leaves them sooo soft & fluffy,Rubes had her 2nd bath in it on monday & still looks & smells gorgeous.Ive tried lots of conditioners on her before but never been happy,with this one as as soon as you put it on she's instantly soft & her comb goes straight thro' her feathers
http://scruffychops.com/ I think its a great price too.
Only 1 bit of advise-when youve lifted your little darling out of the tub dont stand on the packet of conditioner yourself, thus covering your little one all down one side again & her/him having to go right back in the tub-exactly as i did on monday! Poor Rubes thought her ordeal was over& oh her little face!

sujito needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 37 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
We are building a new way of social engagement based on tailored randomisation. The key theme is "Shake", and these are the characteristics:
- Shake-a-Friend is super intuitive and easy to use. It should take you less than 3 seconds to know what you have to do, which is basically touch the button "Shake!", to start shaking and be connected to a new random person for a chat conversation. Once you have shaked for the first time, you can start to build your profile so that the shakes are more tailored to your interests.
- You can kill time
- You can have insightful conversations with people you don't know
- You are likely to find people who share your interests
Our target market is mobile users between 18-35, 50% male, 50% female, with high education and interests to share.
In terms of web, we need only one page which includes the following:
1. Chat window in the middle. This chat window should be the biggest part of the screen. Our requirement here is to have a nice little chat window box (perhaps curved edges, or not, as you prefer), with pretty background and fonts. For example, think about the iphone´s sms, where you have clouds for each comment. We don´t think we want this, but we want to see different options of how the chat window could look pretty.
2. A big button
We want a big button called "shake". You can use the logo (which we already have and have attached to the contest) to play with this button.
3. A footer
We want a really really really nice footer. This is where we will put all the main information, including "Why SaF", "about", etc. so it´s likely to be one of those thick footers.
4. Four boxes with different content. All of them can have the same style, or different (or you might think we don´t need boxes!). It depends on what you think makes it easier for the user to read and understand.
- My profile box: This includes such things as gender, age, a list of interests, location and language selection fields.And also something called "Chakra" or energy points (which the user does not select, this is given to him/her). We would need a representation of something with 7 levels (it could be a pretty heptagon or concentric circles or something you can think of), which will be illuminated as people gather points.
- My friends profile (similar to the previous, but here there are no fields for the user to complete, they are just "labels").
- Topics of interest (it would be a list of 2 columns with up to 10 lines each). This topics of interest box is likely to appear and disappear with Ajax when the user requires it. This includes the option for the user to "select all" for each column, or select one by one.
- Personal topics of interest:
The same as the previous, but this includes a field where the user can enter her own topic
We don´t have a website, but this is what we are looking for:
Clean: We want people to feel good when they enter the page, we want them to want to come back, to use it again. The page needs to be self-contained in 1024x768, apart from the bottom of the footer (the beginning of the footer should be within those 768). We want it clean and easy to read.
Footer: We like beautiful footers (some of these are great: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/200…and-ideas/, a bit out of the box). Some other here:
Boxes: Our service will have several boxes, including "box for your personal profile", "box for your friend's profile", "box for chat window", "box for topics of interest", etc. They could be different or similar or just different in colour, but those boxes need to be beautiful. They are likely to be animated later with AJAX to hide and show up.
General: We like bold cartoons and animations. You can use the logo to have an idea for the boxes, headers, the footer, and for other little objects that you might want to design. We like simple backgrounds which don't mislead people, minimalistic or light garage designs. Simple is good, ART is critical. Be artistic, enjoy designing. We want to see your creativity, we are willing to take risks. Show us a page where there are no footers nor background, where the page is just a tree, or perhaps the shadow of a cube.
Color: Those of the ambar-orange cube logo should in principle be the base.
Footer: We like beautiful footers (some of these are great: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/200…and-ideas/, a bit out of the box). Some other here:

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Nov 26, 2012) - Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) announced today that the company's Board of Directors has approved a $2.75 per share special cash dividend on its outstanding common stock payable on December 18, 2012 to shareholders of record on December 10, 2012.

WASHINGTON — Voters cannot split President Obama and Mitt Romney as to who is best to fix the economy.
Overall Obama leads Romney, the presumptive GOP nominee, by 49 percent to 46 percent when voters were asked who they would vote for. But asked who can handle the economy, both scored 47 percent, a new Washington Post/ABC poll out Tuesday found.
More than half of those asked said the economy was the number one issue going into the November election.
A majority of Americans — 54 percent — also said they are more hopeful than anxious about the situation over the next few years when it comes to the economy.
Obama must overcome the opinions of many who think he has failed to improve the economy at all, with his numbers on the issue comparable to George H. W. Bush, who lost his bid for re-election in 1992 amid a flagging economy.
Asked where they stand financially compared with when Obama took office in January 2009, 30 percent said they were worse off and only 16 percent said they were better off.
Obama fared better than Romney on the question of who better understands people's economic problems — 48 percent to 40 percent.
Obama was also ahead of the former Massachusetts governor — 47 percent to 43 percent — as to who better represents their values and who is more likely to stand up for what they believe in, by 51 percent to 38 percent.
The telephone poll was conducted May 17-20 among a random sample of 1,004 adults with a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

Conifer diversity is great in our region, and I'll bet many of you have stopped along the highway to gather foot-long sugar pine cones. Cones often are used as decorations, and we have a tremendous variety to choose from.
Just over the hill near Redding, Calif., gray pines have large, spiked cones the size of cantaloupes. At the other end of the size spectrum are the tiny cones of western red and Port Orford cedars.
Let's start our table decoration with the cones from ponderosa pines. They are ruggedly constructed and about the size of a fist. Add some Douglas fir cones, somewhat less woody and about 3 to 4 inches long with bracts that look like the hind quarters of a mouse heading down a burrow. Now add the papery cones of a sitka spruce from the coast. Finally add the tiny cones of the western hemlock, also lightly constructed and about an inch long.
What are table decorations for us comprise a banquet for red crossbills. Knife, fork and spoon would hardly be the appropriate utensils for this feast. If you or I had to extract the seeds from the unopened cones, we might want a pair of pliers for the ponderosa pine cones and maybe tweezers for the spruce and hemlock. Even then you might get plenty hungry.
Red crossbills are finches related to purple and house finches but a little bigger. The male is brick red, and the female is yellowish green. The only tool available to the red crossbill is its unique crossed bill, but it is a very effective cone opener.
To open a cone, a bird bites sideways under the bract of a cone and moves the jaw sideways. This separates the bract far enough so the seeds can be extracted. If the bract is stubborn, the entire bill can be twisted, applying more leverage. If you are wondering, there are both right- and left-crossed crossbills.
Returning to our banquet of cones, I mentioned you might need both pliers and tweezers. This is not helpful to the crossbill. Each bird has only one bill, so it's either pliers, tweezers or something in between.
Just as cones come in different sizes, so do the bills of crossbills. Crossbills living in the ponderosa pine forests east of the Cascades have large bills, our pliers if you will. The crossbills at the coast that feed upon the papery spruce and hemlock cones have much smaller bills, tweezers. Their "kip-kip-kip" calls also differ and can be distinguished by an experienced birder.
Across North America, there are nine distinct forms of red crossbills, each with bills of a size that correspond to the size of the cones in the area. Now before you worry that you will have to buy a new field guide describing the almost imperceptible differences between the nine species, relax. Scientists have found genetic differences but not enough to declare a host of new species. We're safe for now.
Red crossbills usually are rare in the Siskiyous, but this winter we had many. They can be heard and seen flying in flocks over the foothills and sitting high in conifers. Which of the nine forms do these represent? Who knows? There is probably more than one. Good luck.

Here is the Kleemann e-mail which came out of nowhere and definitely raised suspicions:
You may remember Kleemann and Weistec announced a global agreement for Weistec products to be sold through the Kleemann distribution network. This happened last year in September. The agreement is below:
Now, what you may not be aware of is that Kleemann approached Weistec regarding this. Why? Well, Kleemann has not made any serious performance parts for some time on Mercedes platforms. They were pretty much getting by living off their name and selling products created by others then taking their cut. That's fine and that is why they approached Weistec who had the first supercharger solution for M156 V8 vehicles.
As Kleemann CEO Claus Ankjaer stated, "the Weistec Supercharge system is a perfect addition to our current product line." Unfortunately, it seems Kleemann took this as a perfect opportunity to illicitly piggyback off the work of someone else.
Kleemann had unrestricted access to Weistec software as they were trusted as a distributor who would flash cars with the software necessary to run the M156/M159 supercharger kits. Obviously, hardware is only one part and to make forced induction kits work on modern German vehicles with their complex ECU's and programming quality software is necessary.
It should raise red flags with everyone that out of nowhere Kleemann comes out with their own M156/M159 supercharger kit when already entered into an agreement with a company who produces such a kit. Additionally, that they did not announce or show any development on this platform. Furthermore, that seemingly out of nowhere their orders from Weistec dropped off significantly to now nothing. I ask, what conclusion would you draw?
Well, if one were to speculate this is likely what happened. Kleemann was selling a fair amount of M156/M159 superchargers developed by Weistec. They realized they had access to the software and took what was necessary for the supercharger to work. They realized they could make a lot more money by cutting Weistec out. They contacted Xtra-Power who was supercharging M156/M159 cars in Europe although they did not have anywhere near as good of a tuning solution as Weistec unable to make their supercharger work with the stock DME. Instead, Xtra-Power relied on a piggy-back solution. They did, however, have the hardware. With this it would appear they developed a Magnuson TVS2300 roots based kit that works with the stock DME in record time. All of this and then quietly dropping Weistec from their website and no longer making any orders with Weistec. I ask again, what conclusion would you draw?
It is unlikely Kleemann's system would have been able to come about on the stock DME without taking a peek at Weistec's software. It is unfortunate Weistec can not really do much about this. If one were to compare the software directly with a readout from each that would at least be a step towards proof but even then it would be an uphill legal battle to do something about it. Still, it would at least be a battle easily won in the court of public opinion which no doubt would strongly and negatively affect Kleemann's reputation.
Weistec trusted a distributor and got burned. It happens in this game. You just don't expect it to happen with big names who are in mutually beneficial relationships. Just goes to show you can't trust anyone in the tuning game. And if you make a big breakthrough like what Weistec was able to do, you end up having a huge target on your back.
Kleemann will not be able to cut Weistec out completely but definitely will affect Weistec sales in the European market. Additionally, Kleemann's hardware is inferior using a TVS roots blower. It is a decent blower, just not on par with Weistec's 3.0 liter twin screw. Still, it's a shame this is the tuning game and sadly to be expected. Another reminder that even if you have a mutually beneficial agreement on paper it may only serve to make it easier for someone to take what you worked to achieve.

Every month, our over 100 stores support or host many great cycling events, in addition to their regularly scheduled Spin Doctor clinics & group rides, so we wanted to take a moment to recognize just a few of the events that our folks in the field were involved with in October.
Our Columbus, OH store helped out at an elementary school bike rodeo, as part of Ohio's "Wear Your Bike Helmet to Work or School Day".
Our team had a blast fixing and tuning up all kinds of bikes for the over 70 kids who showed up for the event!
Here's our team in the little down time that they had, in between working on bikes and handing out water bottles.
The event was such a success that they scheduled 2 more events with 2 different scout groups over the next 2 months.
Our Boulder, CO store hosted a book signing with USA Cycling Coach John Hughes, author of "Distance Cycling."
John Hughes has completed the Race Across America and multiple Paris-Brest-Paris events, one of the oldest and longest cycling events (it's still 1200km, with a time limit of 90 hours)! He is the former Director of the Ultra Marathon Cycling Association, and his book is full of tips on how to prepare yourself for some long days in the saddle.
Our Bonita, CA store was recognized by the Chula Vista Clean Business program for their efforts to reduce waste, prevent pollution, and conserve energy and water.
Spin Doctor Roger Guzman and Store Manager Greg Heath manned a tent at an event celebrating the Clean Business program, and shared their success with the community.
Our Broadway Tucson, AZ store was the exclusive bike shop for the "Tumacacori Century Gene Chapman Memorial Ride".
The weather was beautiful for this ride through the Arizona desert, and Store Manager Margarita Selden and Spin Doctor mechanic Bryan Zittlosen enjoyed meeting the riders at our tent.
We did free service checks on bikes and handed out nutrition samples to the over 200 plus riders at this great fall event.
Finally, an array of folks from our Colorado stores showed up for the Denver Veloswap.
The VeloSwap is the world's largest consumer bicycling and sports expo, where you can buy, sell, re-cycle anything cycling-related. Visitors packed the Performance Bicycle booth for our giveaways and a chance to win some of our great prizes! Here's a video that shows you what the VeloSwap scene is like:

MarketWatch readers appear to be optimistic the bull market in stocks has longer to run.
An informal poll asking what phase of the bull market readers felt we are in drew more than 3,000 responses Friday.
The poll gave readers a choice from among the four stages of a bull market identified by Sir John Templeton and Laszlo Birinyi. A plurality of readers, 35%, indicated we are still only in the third phase "optimism / acceptance." The next largest group picked the second phase, "skepticism / digestion." Only 22% picked the final phase "euphoria / exuberance," while 14% picked the first phase "pessimism / reluctance," or "Other."
Among other words used by readers to describe the bull market were: \"Fantasy,\" \"Fear of Falling,\" \"head in the sand,\" and \"ponziland.\"
Ed Yardeni, president and chief investment strategist of Yardeni Research, said this week he thinks the bull market has entered its final phase. And others are warning of sub-par returns for many years to come.

Most recent performance
There are currently no scheduled performances of Swanlights. It was last on stage 25–26 July 2013.
'When I find the Swanlights, my eyes cry species, casting green and gold upon the black water.'
The Royal Opera House presents the first London performances of Antony and The Johnsons: Swanlights – a remarkable meditation on light, nature and femininity. Originally commissioned by New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Swanlights enjoyed huge acclaim when it was presented at Radio City Music Hall in January 2012 and the 2012 Melbourne Festival.
The piece features songs from all four of Antony and the Johnsons' albums – self-titled, The Crying Light, Swanlights and Mercury Prize-winning I am a Bird Now – and is backed by the Britten Sinfonia, with orchestral arrangements by Nico Muhly, Rob Moose and Maxim Moston. Light artist Chris Levine, lighting designer Paul Normandale, set designer Carl Robertshaw and lighting director Emma Westerberg collaborate on the evocative designs: 'layered screen projections and lasers swept the darkened theater, gradually revealing the singer in these ethereal surrounds' (Time Out New York).

Manchester United target Yohan Cabaye is set to be the subject of a £20million from big-spending Paris Saint-Germain.
According to the Guardian, Newcastle United are bracing themselves for the offer for the France international – a situation that could well interest Old Trafford scouts.
Cabaye has been a revelation since he joined Newcastle United from Lille in 2011 and Manchester United have long been credited with an interest in him, while the 26-year-old indicated he would be open to a switch to the Premier League champions.
New manager David Moyes is reportedly keen to upgrade his centre midfield, as he could face a shortage of options there.
Paul Scholes has retired for a second time, Darren Fletcher has long-term health issues, while Anderson and Tom Cleverley have failed to fully capitalise on chances to make a starting XI berth their own.
Cabaye is the creative hub of Alan Pardew's side and was crucial to them finishing fifth in the season before last and his absence through injury during last season affected their poor form.
Although United are no paupers, they could struggle to match any salary offer coming from the Ligue 1 champions and Cabaye could well be lured by the prospect of returning to his homeland.

C S Lewis to MARY WILLIS SHELBURNE: On the resurrection of the body and of all creation; and on the goodness of the bodies we now have.26 November 1962
My stuff about animals came long ago in The Problem of Pain. I ventured the supposal—it could be nothing more—that as we are raised in Christ, so at least some animals are raised in us. Who knows, indeed, but that a great deal even of the inanimate creation is raised in the redeemed souls who have, during this life, taken its beauty into themselves? That may be the way in which the 'new heaven and the new earth' are formed. Of course we can only guess and wonder.
But these particular guesses arise in me, I trust, from taking seriously the resurrection of the body: a doctrine which now-a- days is very soft pedalled by nearly all the faithful—to our great impoverishment. Not that you and I have now much reason to rejoice in having bodies! Like old automobiles, aren't they? where all sorts of apparently different things keep going wrong, but what they add up to is the plain fact that the machine is wearing out. Well, it was not meant to last forever.
Still, I have a kindly feeling for the old rattle-trap. Through it God showed me that whole side of His beauty which is embodied in colour, sound, smell and size. No doubt it has often led me astray: but not half so often, I suspect, as my soul has led it astray. For the spiritual evils which we share with the devils (pride, spite) are far worse than what we share with the beasts: and sensuality really arises more from the imagination than from the appetites: which, if left merely to their own animal strength, and not elaborated by our imagination, would be fairly easily managed. But this is turning into a sermon!
From The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, Volume III

College of Art and Design
Visualize the future. Photographs, paintings, and illustrations are the standard, but digital technology has created a revolution in the imaging fields, opening the floodgates for new methods of visual communication and expression.
RIT is well known as one of the nation's premier universities for art, design, film, photography, and crafts. The range of innovative programs offered in our College of Art and Design gives you a panoramic perspective that can be found nowhere else. Here you can create fine art using centuries-old methods or by pushing the boundaries of digital creativity.
An active, creative setting
This is a college where the lights are on 24 hours a day, where you can't travel through the halls without pausing—to study an exhibit of photos by your fellow students, to marvel at the symmetry of the artisan's bowl rising from a clay-spattered wheel, to glance into a computer lab at the animation or design projects, or to watch graphic media students operate millions of dollars' worth of printing equipment like pros. This is a place where creativity and innovation merge to create exciting opportunities for students and faculty alike.
You'll definitely be impressed by the resources available to you at RIT. Our specialized studios and wide range of equipment are among the most complete and current of any university's in the world. Our faculty members are active professionals who can teach you both the art and the business of your major field of study. They'll show you how to create, critique, reproduce, and display your work, and they'll provide you with the support and insight you need to succeed.
School of Art
The School of Art offers professionally oriented degree programs in fine arts studio (painting, printmaking, sculpture, and new forms), illustration, and medical illustration. You'll start with a foundation program that prepares you for your major concentration. Your BFA program will be studio-intensive, giving you plenty of time, space, and faculty support to help you develop as an artist. You can immerse yourself in your concentration, developing both technical and creative skills. The School of Art offers you tremendous opportunities to work with traditional media and to use these as bridges—with crafts, photography, digital media, and the Internet—to new forms of art and expression.
After graduation, you'll have a solid foundation for a career as a professional artist—producing, marketing, and selling your work—or other opportunities such as teaching, consulting, new media development, or arts administration. Illustration graduates work for publishing companies, newspapers, advertising firms, and corporate art departments. Many choose freelance careers. Opportunities are abundant in multimedia production and website design. The specialized skills of medical illustration graduates are in demand by health care, publishing, and educational institutions. You may decide upon graduation to pursue a master's degree in medical illustration, offered through RIT's College of Health Sciences and Technology.
School of Design
Studio-intensive majors in the School of Design allow you to develop the technical, creative, and problem-solving skills you need to succeed as a designer—whether you specialize in graphic, interior, industrial, new media, or 3D digital design. A foundation program that prepares you to understand the conceptual, creative process underlying design disciplines is followed by courses that balance visual exploration, theory, applications, and technical design skills.
Throughout the program, you'll have the personal attention of our talented faculty and the time and resources you need to concentrate on your design projects. A balance of visual exploration, theory, applied projects, and technical development will enable you to explore creative and effective design solutions and will lead you to exciting career opportunities. Our design graduates have found success in art and design studios, publishing houses, equipment and furniture manufacturers, architectural firms, advertising agencies, and packaging design firms.
School for American Crafts
The beauty and precision of hand-crafted art is the cornerstone of RIT's School for American Crafts. This close-knit community within the college emphasizes the tradition of apprenticeship as faculty and students work together in small classes that allow individual instruction in ceramics, furniture design, glass, and metals and jewelry design. The school is famous for graduating students with impeccable craftsmanship and unique talents in artistic expression. Your professors will inspire and motivate you as they provide the keen eye and experiences that develop your creativity and technical mastery. You'll learn to seek continual self-improvement in your work and gain an appreciation of not only the craft but also related arts.
School of Film and Animation
Because we offer more production experience than any other school in the country, the School of Film and Animation draws students from all over the world. We recognize the increasing interrelationships among film technology, video, animation, and the computer, so you gain hands-on experience in all areas while specializing in your medium of choice. In addition to a bachelor of science degree in motion picture science, the School of Film and Animation offers a bachelor of fine arts degree in film and animation, with options in animation and production.
You'll begin shooting 16mm film during your first month on campus. Over the next four years, you'll write scripts, recruit actors and crew, shoot on location, record soundtracks, edit every scene until it's perfect, live through a critique—and then wait for the applause! By the end of your senior year, you will direct, shoot, write, edit, and produce your own senior thesis project. Graduates are fully qualified to enter careers in the industry and to create their own independent productions. The major is enhanced by a visiting filmmakers series and an active student association.
School of Media Sciences
Career opportunities abound in graphic communication, new media, printing, and publishing. RIT's School of Media Sciences is the best-known school of its kind in the world, preparing people to manage the nation's huge graphic communications industry. With our media arts and technology major, you can be at the forefront of a new media revolution, where electronic technology merges printing and publishing, graphic design, art, and photography. In our high-tech laboratories, you'll learn the latest technologies for electronic publishing, new media publishing, and digital printing systems. Business courses will teach you the managerial skills you need to lead one of the country's fastest growing industries, and you'll gain important experience through cooperative education.
You'll benefit from an academic environment featuring a 20,000-volume library of rare historical editions, more than $50 million worth of printing and publishing equipment in 14 laboratories, and close interaction with outstanding faculty members who are committed to teaching and applied research.
School of Photographic Arts and Sciences
With award-winning alumni; more than 30 full-time faculty devoted to photography; six majors to choose from; and top-notch studios, darkroom facilities, and equipment, RIT's School of Photographic Arts and Sciences is an internationally acknowledged leader in professional photographic education.
Our majors—advertising photography, fine art photography, photojournalism, and visual media—are special because students master both the creative and the technical fundamentals of photography, then explore their individual interests in a specialized area. Our unique option in biomedical photographic communications is ideal for students who enjoy both photography and science. The option in imaging and photographic technology may lead to joining our graduates analyzing images from space at NASA.
Significantly larger than most photo schools, RIT offers more—and more varied—photography courses and has more faculty members with a wider range of interests than most similar schools. More than 200 courses cover everything from nature photography to digital photography, advertising concepts to high-speed/time-lapse photography.
Guest lectures and touring exhibits by famous photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Harry Callahan, and Joyce Tenneson are added benefits. And, with such resources as the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester is, in a sense, where photography developed. Being here immerses you in that world.
RIT's School of Photographic Arts and Sciences has thousands of alumni—leaders in their disciplines—who become a network of contacts when you graduate. In the competitive world of photography, a degree from RIT can give you the edge you need.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Are you getting the kind of sleep you should be? Turns out, what you think about getting a good night's sleep may not be true. Dr. Daniel Buysse at the University of Pittsburgh's Sleep Institute told KDKA what's fact and what's fiction when it comes to sleep.
We should all get eight hours sleep.
"Not true," says Dr. Buysse. "People vary in terms of how much sleep they need." Dr. Buysse says the normal range for most adults is six-and-a-half to eight hours.
You can catch up on sleep.
Dr. Buysse says: "Only partially. You can catch up on sleep for some sleep that you lost, but you'll never make up for an entire night of lost sleep."
If you're sleeping very little, you're more likely to be overweight.
That turns out to be true. "There's actually quite a bit of evidence linking very short sleep to obesity and to the tendency to gain weight overtime," said Dr. Buysse. By "very short" he means fewer than six hours on a regular basis.
It doesn't matter what time of day you sleep.
"That is absolutely false," said Buysse. He says human beings have biological clocks that want us to sleep at night, and that we just don't sleep as well during the day.
Sleeping in a cool room is best.
That depends on your definition of cool. "The range of ideal sleep is between 65 and 75 degrees," said Buysse. He says if a room is too hot — or too cold — you'll wake up more.
A glass of wine can help you sleep.
"Alcohol does help people to sleep," said Dr. Buysse. But it turns out that it's only partially true. "The problem with alcohol — if you use it as a sleeping pill at bedtime — is that it doesn't last that long, and people tend to wake up and have insomnia in the middle of the night."
If you're having trouble falling asleep, you should get out of bed.
He says this is true. "It's better to get out of bed — go somewhere else — and only when you start to feel sleepy, go back to bed," said Buysse.
Getting older means worse sleep.
The answer here is complicated. "Sleep tends to be lighter and tends to get more fragmented," said the doctor. People wake up more during the night. However, he also said that as we get older, we seem to need a little less sleep anyway.
Naps are a waste of time.
"Naps are not a waste of time," said Dr. Buysse. "Naps are sign that your brain needs more sleep." He says a half-hour nap can work well for a lot of people and that some people find a 10-minute power nap useful. He also says some people just can't nap at all.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO leaders echoed the United States on Wednesday in urging Ukraine's armed forces to stay out of the crisis there, warning Kiev that its relations with the Western alliance would suffer if the military did intervene.
"I strongly urge the Ukrainian government to refrain from further violence. If the military intervenes against the opposition, Ukraine's ties with NATO will be seriously damaged," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in a statement.
Rasmussen's warning came after Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich appointed a new head of the armed forces general staff after street clashes between protesters and police in which at least 26 people have been killed since Tuesday.
Ukraine's defense ministry also said that the armed forces might take part in a countrywide anti-terrorist operation organized by the state security service. It has previously said that troops could only be used domestically if a state of emergency were declared.
Separately, NATO's top military commander appealed to Ukraine's leaders on Wednesday to avoid using military force against their people and called for dialogue with the country's new military leadership.
In Twitter messages, U.S. Air Force General Philip Breedlove, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, asked that "responsible leaders avoid the use of military force against the people of Ukraine."
"I am calling upon the new military leadership in Ukraine to open a dialogue with us to bring this situation to a peaceful resolution," Breedlove said.
Earlier, U.S. President Barack Obama had called on Ukraine's armed forces to stay out of the country's political crisis while the Pentagon renewed warnings for Ukraine to keep its military away from anti-government protests.
While Ukraine is not presently seeking membership in the Western military alliance, it does cooperate with NATO in a number of areas. Twenty-eight of its soldiers participate in the NATO-led force in Afghanistan.
