The Runner.
7.01 A runner acquires the right to an unoccupied base when he touches it before he is out. He is then entitled to it until he is put out, or forced to vacate it for another runner legally entitled to that base.
Rule 7.01 Comment: If a runner legally acquires title to a base, and the pitcher assumes his pitching position, the runner may not return to a previously occupied base.
7.02 In advancing, a runner shall touch first, second, third and home base in order. If forced to return, he shall retouch all bases in reverse order, unless the ball is dead under any provision of Rule 5.09. In such cases, the runner may go directly to his original base.
(a) Two runners may not occupy a base, but if, while the ball is alive, two runners are touching a base, the following runner shall be out when tagged and the preceding runner is entitled to the base, unless Rule 7.03(b) applies.
(b) If a runner is forced to advance by reason of the batter becoming a runner and two runners are touching a base to which the following runner is forced, the following runner is entitled to the base and the preceding runner shall be out when tagged or when a fielder possesses the ball and touches the base to which such preceding runner is forced.
7.04 Each runner, other than the batter, may without liability to be put out, advance one base when—
(a) There is a balk;
(b) The batter's advance without liability to be put out forces the runner to vacate his base, or when the batter hits a fair ball that touches another runner or the umpire before such ball has been touched by, or has passed a fielder, if the runner is forced to advance; Rule 7.04 to 7.05 63
Rule 7.04(b) Comment: A runner forced to advance without liability to be put out may advance past the base to which he is entitled only at his peril. If such a runner, forced to advance, is put out for the third out before a preceding runner, also forced to advance, touches home plate, the run shall score.
Play. Two out, bases full, batter walks but runner from second is overzealous and runs past third base toward home and is tagged out on a throw by the catcher. Even though two are out, the run would score on the theory that the run was forced home by the base on balls and that all the runners needed to do was proceed and touch the next base.
(c) A fielder, after catching a fly ball, falls into a bench or stand, or falls across ropes into a crowd when spectators are on the field;
Rule 7.04(c) Comment: If a fielder, after having made a legal catch, should fall into a stand or among spectators or into the dugout or any other out-of-play area while in possession of the ball after making a legal catch, or fall while in the dugout after making a legal catch, the ball is dead and each runner shall advance one base, without liability to be put out, from his last legally touched base at the time the fielder fell into, or in, such out-of-play area.
(d) While he is attempting to steal a base, the batter is interfered with by the catcher or any other fielder.
NOTE: When a runner is entitled to a base without liability to be put out, while the ball is in play, or under any rule in which the ball is in play after the runner reaches the base to which he is entitled, and the runner fails to touch the base to which he is entitled before attempting to advance to the next base, the runner shall forfeit his exemption from liability to be put out, and he may be put out by tagging the base or by tagging the runner before he returns to the missed base.
7.05 Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance—
(a) To home base, scoring a run, if a fair ball goes out of the playing field in flight and he touched all bases legally; or if a fair ball which, in the umpire's judgment, would have gone out of the playing field in flight, is deflected by the act of a fielder in throwing his glove, cap, or any article of his apparel;
(b) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril; Rule 7.05 64
(c) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril.
(d) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a thrown ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play;
(e) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a thrown ball. The ball is in play;
Rule 7.05(b) through 7.05(e) Comment: In applying (b-c-d-e) the umpire must rule that the thrown glove or detached cap or mask has touched the ball. There is no penalty if the ball is not touched.
Under (c-e) this penalty shall not be invoked against a fielder whose glove is carried off his hand by the force of a batted or thrown ball, or when his glove flies off his hand as he makes an obvious effort to make a legitimate catch.
(f) Two bases, if a fair ball bounces or is deflected into the stands outside the first or third base foul lines; or if it goes through or under a field fence, or through or under a scoreboard, or through or under shrubbery or vines on the fence; or if it sticks in such fence, scoreboard, shrubbery or vines;
(g) Two bases when, with no spectators on the playing field, a thrown ball goes into the stands, or into a bench (whether or not the ball rebounds into the field), or over or under or through a field fence, or on a slanting part of the screen above the backstop, or remains in the meshes of a wire screen protecting spectators. The ball is dead. When such wild throw is the first play by an infielder, the umpire, in awarding such bases, shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the ball was pitched; in all other cases the umpire shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the wild throw was made;
APPROVED RULING: If all runners, including the batter-runner, have advanced at least one base when an infielder makes a wild throw on the first play after the pitch, the award shall be governed by the position of the runners when the wild throw was made.
Rule 7.05(g) Comment: In certain circumstances it is impossible to award a runner two bases. Example: Runner on first. Batter hits fly to short right. Runner holds up between first and second and batter comes around first and pulls up behind him. Ball falls safely. Outfielder, in throwing to first, throws ball into stand. Rule 7.05 65
APPROVED RULING: Since no runner, when the ball is dead, may advance beyond the base to which he is entitled, the runner originally on first base goes to third base and the batter is held at second base.
The term "when the wild throw was made" means when the throw actually left the player's hand and not when the thrown ball hit the ground, passes a receiving fielder or goes out of play into the stands.
The position of the batter-runner at the time the wild throw left the thrower's hand is the key in deciding the award of bases. If the batter-runner has not reached first base, the award is two bases at the time the pitch was made for all runners. The decision as to whether the batter-runner has reached first base before the throw is a judgment call.
If an unusual play arises where a first throw by an infielder goes into stands or dugout but the batter did not become a runner (such as catcher throwing ball into stands in attempt to get runner from third trying to score on passed ball or wild pitch) award of two bases shall be from the position of the runners at the time of the throw. (For the purpose of Rule 7.05 (g) a catcher is considered an infielder.)
PLAY. Runner on first base, batter hits a ball to the shortstop, who throws to second base too late to get runner at second, and second baseman throws toward first base after batter has crossed first base. Ruling—Runner at second scores. (On this play, only if batter-runner is past first base when throw is made is he awarded third base.)
(h) One base, if a ball, pitched to the batter, or thrown by the pitcher from his position on the pitcher's plate to a base to catch a runner, goes into a stand or a bench, or over or through a field fence or backstop. The ball is dead;
APPROVED RULING: When a wild pitch or passed ball goes through or by the catcher, or deflects off the catcher, and goes directly into the dugout, stands, above the break, or any area where the ball is dead, the awarding of bases shall be one base. One base shall also be awarded if the pitcher while in contact with the rubber, throws to a base, and the throw goes directly into the stands or into any area where the ball is dead.
If, however, the pitched or thrown ball goes through or by the catcher or through the fielder, and remains on the playing field, and is subsequently kicked or deflected into the dugout, stands or other area where the ball is dead, the awarding of bases shall be two bases from position of runners at the time of the pitch or throw.
(i) One base, if the batter becomes a runner on Ball Four or Strike Three, when the pitch passes the catcher and lodges in the umpire's mask or paraphernalia.
If the batter becomes a runner on a wild pitch which entitles the runners to advance one base, the batter-runner shall be entitled to first base only. Rule 7.05 to 7.06 66
Rule 7.05(i) Comment: The fact a runner is awarded a base or bases without liability to be put out does not relieve him of the responsibility to touch the base he is awarded and all intervening bases. For example: batter hits a ground ball which an infielder throws into the stands but the batter-runner missed first base. He may be called out on appeal for missing first base after the ball is put in play even though he was "awarded" second base.
If a runner is forced to return to a base after a catch, he must retouch his original base even though, because of some ground rule or other rule, he is awarded additional bases. He may retouch while the ball is dead and the award is then made from his original base.
(j) One base, if a fielder deliberately touches a pitched ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play, and the award is made from the position of the runner at the time the ball was touched.
7.06 When obstruction occurs, the umpire shall call or signal "Obstruction."
(a) If a play is being made on the obstructed runner, or if the batter-runner is obstructed before he touches first base, the ball is dead and all runners shall advance, without liability to be put out, to the bases they would have reached, in the umpire's judgment, if there had been no obstruction. The obstructed runner shall be awarded at least one base beyond the base he had last legally touched before the obstruction. Any preceding runners, forced to advance by the award of bases as the penalty for obstruction, shall advance without liability to be put out.
Rule 7.06(a) Comment: When a play is being made on an obstructed runner, the umpire shall signal obstruction in the same manner that he calls "Time," with both hands overhead. The ball is immediately dead when this signal is given; however, should a thrown ball be in flight before the obstruction is called by the umpire, the runners are to be awarded such bases on wild throws as they would have been awarded had not obstruction occurred. On a play where a runner was trapped between second and third and obstructed by the third baseman going into third base while the throw is in flight from the shortstop, if such throw goes into the dugout the obstructed runner is to be awarded home base. Any other runners on base in this situation would also be awarded two bases from the base they last legally touched before obstruction was called.
(b) If no play is being made on the obstructed runner, the play shall proceed until no further action is possible. The umpire shall then call "Time" and impose such penalties, if any, as in his judgment will nullify the act of obstruction.
Rule 7.06(b) Comment: Under 7.06(b) when the ball is not dead on obstruction and an obstructed runner advances beyond the base which, in the umpire's judgment, he would have been awarded because of being obstructed, he does so at his own peril and may be tagged out. This is a judgment call. Rule 7.06 to 7.08 67
NOTE: The catcher, without the ball in his possession, has no right to block the pathway of the runner attempting to score. The base line belongs to the runner and the catcher should be there only when he is fielding a ball or when he already has the ball in his hand.
7.07 If, with a runner on third base and trying to score by means of a squeeze play or a steal, the catcher or any other fielder steps on, or in front of home base without possession of the ball, or touches the batter or his bat, the pitcher shall be charged with a balk, the batter shall be awarded first base on the interference and the ball is dead.
7.08 Any runner is out when—
(a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner's baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely; or
(2) after touching first base, he leaves the baseline, obviously abandoning his effort to touch the next base;
Rule 7.08(a) Comment: Any runner after reaching first base who leaves the baseline heading for his dugout or his position believing that there is no further play, may be declared out if the umpire judges the act of the runner to be considered abandoning his efforts to run the bases. Even though an out is called, the ball remains in play in regard to any other runner.
This rule also covers the following and similar plays: Less than two out, score tied last of ninth inning, runner on first, batter hits a ball out of park for winning run, the runner on first passes second and thinking the home run automatically wins the game, cuts across diamond toward his bench as batter-runner circles bases. In this case, the base runner would be called out "for abandoning his effort to touch the next base" and batter-runner permitted to continue around bases to make his home run valid. If there are two out, home run would not count (see Rule 7.12). This is not an appeal play.
PLAY. Runner believing he is called out on a tag at first or third base starts for the dugout and progresses a reasonable distance still indicating by his actions that he is out, shall be declared out for abandoning the bases.
(b) He intentionally interferes with a thrown ball; or hinders a fielder attempting to make a play on a batted ball;
Rule 7.08(b) Comment: A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not.
If, however, the runner has contact with a legally occupied base when he hinders the fielder, he shall not be called out unless, in the umpire's judgment, such hindrance, whether it occurs on fair or foul territory, is intentional. If the umpire declares the hindrance intentional, the following penalty shall Rule 7.08 68
apply: With less than two out, the umpire shall declare both the runner and batter out. With two out, the umpire shall declare the batter out.
If, in a run-down between third base and home plate, the succeeding runner has advanced and is standing on third base when the runner in a run-down is called out for offensive interference, the umpire shall send the runner standing on third base back to second base. This same principle applies if there is a run-down between second and third base and succeeding runner has reached second (the reasoning is that no runner shall advance on an interference play and a runner is considered to occupy a base until he legally has reached the next succeeding base).
(c) He is tagged, when the ball is alive, while off his base. EXCEPTION: A batter-runner cannot be tagged out after overrunning or oversliding first base if he returns immediately to the base;
APPROVED RULING: (1) If the impact of a runner breaks a base loose from its position, no play can be made on that runner at that base if he had reached the base safely.
APPROVED RULING: (2) If a base is dislodged from its position during a play, any following runner on the same play shall be considered as touching or occupying the base if, in the umpire's judgment, he touches or occupies the point marked by the dislodged bag.
(d) He fails to retouch his base after a fair or foul ball is legally caught before he, or his base, is tagged by a fielder. He shall not be called out for failure to retouch his base after the first following pitch, or any play or attempted play. This is an appeal play;
Rule 7.08(d) Comment: Runners need not "tag up" on a foul tip. They may steal on a foul tip. If a so-called tip is not caught, it becomes an ordinary foul. Runners then return to their bases.
(e) He fails to reach the next base before a fielder tags him or the base, after he has been forced to advance by reason of the batter becoming a runner. However, if a following runner is put out on a force play, the force is removed and the runner must be tagged to be put out. The force is removed as soon as the runner touches the base to which he is forced to advance, and if he overslides or overruns the base, the runner must be tagged to be put out. However, if the forced runner, after touching the next base, retreats for any reason towards the base he had last occupied, the force play is reinstated, and he can again be put out if the defense tags the base to which he is forced; Rule 7.08 69
Rule 7.08(e) Comment: PLAY. Runner on first and three balls on batter: Runner steals on the next pitch, which is fourth ball, but after having touched second he overslides or overruns that base. Catcher's throw catches him before he can return. Ruling is that runner is out. (Force out is removed.)
Oversliding and overrunning situations arise at bases other than first base. For instance, before two are out, and runners on first and second, or first, second and third, the ball is hit to an infielder who tries for the double play. The runner on first beats the throw to second base but overslides the base. The relay is made to first base and the batter-runner is out. The first baseman, seeing the runner at second base off the bag, makes the return throw to second and the runner is tagged off the base. Meanwhile runners have crossed the plate. The question is: Is this a force play? Was the force removed when the batter-runner was out at first base? Do the runs that crossed the plate during this play and before the third out was made when the runner was tagged at second, count? Answer: The runs score. It is not a force play. It is a tag play.
(f) He is touched by a fair ball in fair territory before the ball has touched or passed an infielder. The ball is dead and no runner may score, nor runners advance, except runners forced to advance. EXCEPTION: If a runner is touching his base when touched by an Infield Fly, he is not out, although the batter is out;
Rule 7.08(f) Comment: If two runners are touched by the same fair ball, only the first one is out because the ball is instantly dead.
If runner is touched by an Infield Fly when he is not touching his base, both runner and batter are out.
(g) He attempts to score on a play in which the batter interferes with the play at home base before two are out. With two out, the interference puts the batter out and no score counts;
(h) He passes a preceding runner before such runner is out;
(i) After he has acquired legal possession of a base, he runs the bases in reverse order for the purpose of confusing the defense or making a travesty of the game. The umpire shall immediately call "Time" and declare the runner out;
Rule 7.08(i) Comment: If a runner touches an unoccupied base and then thinks the ball was caught or is decoyed into returning to the base he last touched, he may be put out running back to that base, but if he reaches the previously occupied base safely he cannot be put out while in contact with that base. Rule 7.08 to 7.09 70
(j) He fails to return at once to first base after overrunning or oversliding that base. If he attempts to run to second he is out when tagged. If, after overrunning or oversliding first base he starts toward the dugout, or toward his position, and fails to return to first base at once, he is out, on appeal, when he or the base is tagged;
Rule 7.08(j) Comment: Runner who touches first base in overrunning and is declared safe by the umpire has, within the intent of Rule 4.09(a) "reached first base" and any run which scores on such a play counts, even though the runner subsequently becomes the third out for failure to return "at once," as covered in Rule 7.08(j).
(k) In running or sliding for home base, he fails to touch home base and makes no attempt to return to the base, when a fielder holds the ball in his hand, while touching home base, and appeals to the umpire for the decision.
Rule 7.08(k) Comment: This rule applies only where runner is on his way to the bench and the catcher would be required to chase him. It does not apply to the ordinary play where the runner misses the plate and then immediately makes an effort to touch the plate before being tagged. In that case, runner must be tagged.
7.09 It is interference by a batter or a runner when—
(a) After a third strike he hinders the catcher in his attempt to field the ball;
(b) He intentionally deflects the course of a foul ball in any manner;
(c) Before two are out and a runner on third base, the batter hinders a fielder in making a play at home base; the runner is out;
(d) Any member or members of the offensive team stand or gather around any base to which a runner is advancing, to confuse, hinder or add to the difficulty of the fielders. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate or teammates;
(e) Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate; Rule 7.09 71
Rule 7.09(e) Comment: If the batter or a runner continues to advance after he has been put out, he shall not by that act alone be considered as confusing, hindering or impeding the fielders.
(f) If, in the judgment of the umpire, a base runner willfully and deliberately interferes with a batted ball or a fielder in the act of fielding a batted ball with the obvious intent to break up a double play, the ball is dead. The umpire shall call the runner out for interference and also call out the batter-runner because of the action of his teammate. In no event may bases be run or runs scored because of such action by a runner.
(g) If, in the judgment of the umpire, a batter-runner willfully and deliberately interferes with a batted ball or a fielder in the act of fielding a batted ball, with the obvious intent to break up a double play, the ball is dead; the umpire shall call the batter-runner out for interference and shall also call out the runner who had advanced closest to the home plate regardless where the double play might have been possible. In no event shall bases be run because of such interference.
(h) In the judgment of the umpire, the base coach at third base, or first base, by touching or holding the runner, physically assists him in returning to or leaving third base or first base.
(i) With a runner on third base, the base coach leaves his box and acts in any manner to draw a throw by a fielder;
(j) He fails to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball, or intentionally interferes with a thrown ball, provided that if two or more fielders attempt to field a batted ball, and the runner comes in contact with one or more of them, the umpire shall determine which fielder is entitled to the benefit of this rule, and shall not declare the runner out for coming in contact with a fielder other than the one the umpire determines to be entitled to field such a ball;
Rule 7.09(j) Comment: When a catcher and batter-runner going to first base have contact when the catcher is fielding the ball, there is generally no violation and nothing should be called. "Obstruction" by a fielder attempting to field a ball should be called only in very flagrant and violent cases because the rules give him the right of way, but of course such "right of way" is not a license to, for example, intentionally trip a runner even though fielding the ball. If the catcher is fielding the ball and the first baseman or pitcher obstructs a runner going to first base "obstruction" shall be called and the base runner awarded first base. Rule 7.09 to 7.10 72
(k) A fair ball touches him on fair territory before touching a fielder. If a fair ball goes through, or by, an infielder, and touches a runner immediately back of him, or touches the runner after having been deflected by a fielder, the umpire shall not declare the runner out for being touched by a batted ball. In making such decision the umpire must be convinced that the ball passed through, or by, the fielder, and that no other infielder had the chance to make a play on the ball. If, in the judgment of the umpire, the runner deliberately and intentionally kicks such a batted ball on which the infielder has missed a play, then the runner shall be called out for interference.
PENALTY FOR INTERFERENCE: The runner is out and the ball is dead.
7.10 Any runner shall be called out, on appeal, when—
(a) After a fly ball is caught, he fails to retouch his original base before he or his original base is tagged;
Rule 7.10(a) Comment: "Retouch," in this rule, means to tag up and start from a contact with the base after the ball is caught. A runner is not permitted to take a flying start from a position in back of his base.
(b) With the ball in play, while advancing or returning to a base, he fails to touch each base in order before he, or a missed base, is tagged.
APPROVED RULING: (1) No runner may return to touch a missed base after a following runner has scored. (2) When the ball is dead, no runner may return to touch a missed base or one he has left after he has advanced to and touched a base beyond the missed base.
Rule 7.10(b) Comment: PLAY. (a) Batter hits ball out of park or ground rule double and misses first base (ball is dead)—he may return to first base to correct his mistake before he touches second but if he touches second he may not return to first and if defensive team appeals he is declared out at first.
PLAY. (b) Batter hits ball to shortstop who throws wild into stand (ball is dead)—batter-runner misses first base but is awarded second base on the overthrow. Even though the umpire has awarded the runner second base on the overthrow, the runner must touch first base before he proceeds to second base.
These are appeal plays. Rule 7.10 73
(c) He overruns or overslides first base and fails to return to the base immediately, and he or the base is tagged;
(d) He fails to touch home base and makes no attempt to return to that base, and home base is tagged.
Any appeal under this rule must be made before the next pitch, or any play or attempted play. If the violation occurs during a play which ends a half-inning, the appeal must be made before the defensive team leaves the field.
An appeal is not to be interpreted as a play or an attempted play.
Successive appeals may not be made on a runner at the same base. If the defensive team on its first appeal errs, a request for a second appeal on the same runner at the same base shall not be allowed by the umpire. (Intended meaning of the word "err" is that the defensive team in making an appeal threw the ball out of play. For example, if the pitcher threw to first base to appeal and threw the ball into the stands, no second appeal would be allowed.)
Appeal plays may require an umpire to recognize an apparent "fourth out." If the third out is made during a play in which an appeal play is sustained on another runner, the appeal play decision takes precedence in determining the out. If there is more than one appeal during a play that ends a half-inning, the defense may elect to take the out that gives it the advantage. For the purpose of this rule, the defensive team has "left the field" when the pitcher and all infielders have left fair territory on their way to the bench or clubhouse.
Rule 7.10 Comment: If two runners arrive at home base about the same time and the first runner misses home plate but a second runner legally touches the plate, the runner is tagged out on his attempt to come back and touch the base or is called out, on appeal, then he shall be considered as having been put out before the second runner scored and being the third out. Second runner's run shall not count, as provided in Rule 7.12.
If a pitcher balks when making an appeal, such act shall be a play. An appeal should be clearly intended as an appeal, either by a verbal request by the player or an act that unmistakably indicates an appeal to the umpire. A player, inadvertently stepping on the base with a ball in his hand, would not constitute an appeal. Time is not out when an appeal is being made. Rule 7.11 to 7.12 74
7.11 The players, coaches or any member of an offensive team shall vacate any space (including both dugouts) needed by a fielder who is attempting to field a batted or thrown ball.
PENALTY: Interference shall be called and the batter or runner on whom the play is being made shall be declared out.
7.12 Unless two are out, the status of a following runner is not affected by a preceding runner's failure to touch or retouch a base. If, upon appeal, the preceding runner is the third out, no runners following him shall score. If such third out is the result of a force play, neither preceding nor following runners shall score.
General Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month, venue for meeting may change each month.

Ghost Opera
for String Quartet and Pipa with water, stone, paper and metal
Music, text and installation by Tan Dun (b. 1957)
The conceptual and multifaceted composer/conductor Tan Dun has made an indelible mark on the world's music scene with a creative repertoire that spans the boundaries of classical, multimedia, Eastern and Western musical systems. Central to his body of work are distinct series of works that reflect his individual compositional concepts and personal ideas: among them, a series which brings his childhood memories of shamanistic ritual into symphonic performances; works which incorporate elements from the natural world; and multimedia concerti. Opera has a significant role in Tan Dun's creative output of the past decade, mostly recently with the premiere of The First Emperor by the Metropolitan Opera in 2006 with a title role created for Plácido Domingo. In 2008 Tan composed Internet Symphony No. 1: "Eroica", commissioned by Google/YouTube as the focal point for the world's first collaborative online orchestra. Of his many works for film, Tan Dun's score for Ang Lee's film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, received an Oscar Award for best original score.
Ghost Opera, the first work commissioned from the composer by an American ensemble, was developed by Tan Dun through discussions with Kronos Quartet and Wu Man, and the work received its premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1995 after a weeklong residency with the performers at the BAM Majestic Theater (now the BAM Harvey). Since then, Ghost Opera has been performed by Kronos and Wu Man more than three dozen times around the world, including a noteworthy performance at the Beijing Concert Hall in 1996.
The roots of Ghost Opera may be found in the nuoxi, or exorcism plays, of ancient China. The nuoxi were one part of the rituals performed by a village community to ward off evil spirits and gain the protection of benevolent ones. The ceremonies were conducted by a wushi (shaman), able to communicate with the ghost world. Though held in disdain by Chinese intellectuals for centuries, and repressed as "undesirable" by the Chinese government from the 1950s to the '70s, these age-old traditions survived in the countryside, including the area around Hunan's Changsha where Tan Dun grew up. Tan Dun's Ghost Opera is not an ethnographic recreation of the nuoxi. Rather it is a sort of invented ritual belonging to a world out of time, where the modern, the archaic and the merely old mingle hazily.
In addition to the atmosphere of mystery that pervades Ghost Opera, several elements of the work evoke primeval rites. In place of the incantation "nuo" ("exorcism"), which was repeatedly shouted during nuoxi, participants in Ghost Opera frequently call out "yao." "Yao" is not only a typical exclamation uttered by excited Hunanese, but the syllable may also refer to the Chinese word for demon. The elemental "Earth Dance," which unifies the five musicians onstage, evokes the community seeking aid by and from ghosts. The fourth movement, "Metal, Rocks," creates music that Stone- and Bronze-age Chinese might have recognized.
The shamanistic dialogue with the spirit world is made palpable by means of an old Chinese theatrical tradition: the yingxi, or shadow puppet play. The very first such play conjured ghosts: the Han Emperor Wu, pining for his favorite dead concubine Li Furen, had the magician Shao Weng summon her spirit by means of shadows cast on white cloth. Upon seeing the shadow puppet theater, Tang Dynasty poet Liang Huang reflected: "Human life seems as though it were in the middle of a dream," a sentiment echoed by Tan Dun when he has the shadow cellist intone Shakespeare's lines, "We are such stuff as dreams are made on."
At the center of the work are two enigmatic ghosts, wispy and insubstantial: a quotation from Bach's Prelude in c-sharp minor from the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Chinese folk song "Little Cabbage." The two pieces present a study in contrasts: one minor, polyphonic, European, composed by a man and performed by the male quartet; the other pentatonic, monophonic, Chinese, sung here by a woman recollecting her dead parents. And yet in the vaporous mists of Ghost Opera, these distinctions seem not to matter. In the third movement the two songs merge, blended into an androgynous phantasm that is neither clearly one nor the other.
With a crash of the gong, the ghosts are banished. Their voices fade into silence beneath the rustle of paper. White as death, the paper unfurls from the shadow-spirit world into our own. The form of the paper suggests the long handscrolls of Chinese landscapes. Singing for the dead, Wu Man rattles the left edge of the scroll, the portion of the painting where the journey ends and the world dissolves.
Program note by Greg Dubinsky
Wu Man
Since moving to the United States from China in 1990, pipa virtuoso Wu Man has not only introduced the traditional Chinese instrument and its repertoire to Western audiences, she has successfully worked to give this ancient instrument a new role in today's music, making the pipa available to a larger audience and seeing it valued by musicians and composers for its unique tonal qualities and virtuosic character. These efforts were recognized when she was made a 2008 United States Artists Broad Fellow.
Cited by the Los Angeles Times as "the artist most responsible for bringing the pipa to the Western World," Wu Man continually collaborates with some of the most distinguished musicians and conductors performing today. She has performed as soloist with many of the world's major orchestras and her touring has taken her to the major music halls of the world. Wu Man often performs and records with the groundbreaking Kronos Quartet, and is a principal member of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project.
Wu Man began her 2009–10 concert season with two concerts at Carnegie Hall as part of the "Ancient Paths, Modern Voices" festival celebrating Chinese culture. Her travels in China to find the musicians to perform on these concerts have been documented in a film, Discovering a Musical Heartland—Wu Man's Return to China.
In November 2009, Wu Man and the Kronos Quartet present the world premiere of a new staged work with video, A Chinese Home, directed by Chen Shi-Zheng. In May 2010 Wu Man performed in Moscow with Yuri Bashmet and the Moscow Soloists, with whom she was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2009 for Best Small Ensemble Performance for the world-premiere recording of Tan Dun's Pipa Concerto. In 2010 she also toured Europe and Asia with the Silk Road Ensemble and performed as soloist in Taipei in November with the Taipei Chinese Traditional Orchestra.
Recent recordings include: Terry Riley's The Cusp of Magic with the Kronos Quartet on Nonesuch; Traditions and Transformations: Sounds of Silk Road Chicago that features Wu Man's performance of Lou Harrison's Pipa Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on the CSO Resound label; and New Impossibilities with the Silk Road Ensemble on Sony/BMG. In 2009 Wu Man was nominated for two Grammy Awards.
Born in Hangzhou, China, Wu Man studied at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, where she became the first recipient of a master's degree in pipa. Wu Man was selected as a Bunting Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study at Harvard University, and was selected by Yo-Yo Ma as the winner of the City of Toronto Glenn Gould Protégé Prize in music and communication. She is also the first artist from China to have performed at the White House. For more information on Wu Man, please visit her website.

Hacking HIPAA – Patient Focused Common Notice of Privacy Practices

These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
How can you not be interested in an article that talks about hacking? Of course, in this case I'm talking about hacking in a much more general since. Most people think of hacking as some nefarious person compromising a system they shouldn't be accessing. The broader use of the term hack is to create something that fixes a problem. You "hack" something together to make it work.
This is what David Harlow, Ian Eslick, and Fred Trotter had in mind when they got together to hack HIPAA. They wanted to create a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) that would provide meaningful privacy choices for patients while still enabling the use of the latest technology. Far too often HIPAA as seen as an excuse for why doctors don't use technology. However, if the NPP is set up correctly, it can enhance patient privacy while allowing use of the latest technologies in your practice.
The Hacking HIPAA team decided to leverage the power of crowdfunding to see if they could collaboratively develop a patient focused Notice of Privacy Practices. I really love the idea of a Common Notice of Privacy Practices. If you like this idea, you can help fund the Hacking HIPAA project on MedStartr.
For those not familiar with crowdfunding, imagine your healthcare organization getting $10,000 worth of legal work from one of the top healthcare lawyers for only $1000. Looked at another way, you get an updated Notice of Privacy Practices with all the latest HIPAA omnibus rules incorporated for only $1000. Call your lawyer and see if they'd be willing to provide an NPP for that price. Plus, your lawyer probably will just provide you some cookie cutter NPP they find as opposed to a well thought out NPP.
This is such a great idea. I hope that a large number of healthcare organizations get behind the project. I'd also love to see some of the HIPAA disclosure companies and EHR companies support the project as well. The NPP will have a creative commons license so those companies could help fund the project, provide feedback in the creation of the NPP and then distribute the NPP to all of their customers. What better way to build the relationship with your customers than to provide them a well thought out NPP?
If you want a little more information on how the Hacking HIPAA project came together, here's a video of Fred Trotter talking about it. Also, be sure to read the details on the Hacking HIPAA MedStartr page.

Part 6: Extra power
There are, of course, three certainties in life: tax, death and the ever increasing need for more computer power. OK the latter is possibly not quite up there with death but it does seem that, no matter what processor you have under your bonnet, you'll always want more oomph to run your applications and, of course, computer hardware companies will be more than happy to supply it for you!
Ten years ago computers simply didn't have enough Hz to do computer music. In fact even eight years ago when I launched a magazine called Computer Music we were still a little uncertain as to what they would ultimately achieve. But, as ever, technology marches on and now, not only can they do the music thing, they can do it very well and many musicians and studios have a computer at the core of their music making set-ups.
But software developers will always push the latest machines, processors and RAM to their limits (some would say with lazy programming, but we won't go there) so that the latest releases always seem to gobble up all the resources that you've just shelled out for.
So what does a computer musician do? Fall into the trap of upgrading their machines every few months? Well, with the apparent inflation busting pricing structure of today's computer hardware, where you always get more bang for your buck than six months previous, you'd be forgiven for doing just that. But there really isn't any need to go mad… not yet. Have a think about other options before you buy a shiny new computer and end up realising that transferring all of that music software from one to another (together with all of those audio files) is an absolute nightmare.
The first option is to upgrade bits of your computer. This is certainly feasible for PC owners and actually a lot more straightforward than you might initially think. Mac owners, too, have some degree of flexibility but really the most you'll ever be wanting to do on either platform is upgrade the RAM (which I wholeheartedly recommend for music making) and perhaps adding more hard drive space in the form of an extra internal or external drive (and they are so cheap now I'd recommend that too!).
But when it comes to the actual speed of the computer, swapping processors can be a chore and is not something you'd like to be doing when there's music to be made instead.
Hardware acceleration
A better option, if you are finding your computer struggling with some of its musical tasks, could be to consider buying extra hardware power just for music number crunching. Such boxes work independently from your computer's own processor to effectively take the strain away from it when dealing with more complex tasks, and to either free it up to do other stuff or simply give it time for a breather and a cupper.
These hardware boxes often come bundled with some exceptional software which, you've guessed it, in some cases is actually so good that it uses all of the additional power within the hardware! Still, these boxes are a good option for computer musicians and some of the software that is available on them was previously only available on Pro Tools, the industry standard 'pro' recording set-up, and itself a form of hardware accelerator. So you really are looking at pro quality products here but not, in most cases, pro level pricing.
The other advantage to having a hardware box running your music making business away from your computer is that, when you do eventually upgrade your computer, you don't have to mess about with upgrading and transferring the software contained in the external box. Simply plug it into your new computer and play!
But aren't we going round in circles?
So, hardware that processes software totally independently from your computer to make music? Haven't we been here before? Isn't that exactly the same as having a bunch of hardware musical instruments like synths and samplers outside of your computer environment? Well, yes. And no. You see the integration with the hardware accelerating box (I think we'll called it Digital Signal Processing or DSP box from now on – it's much sleeker) is what is key here. The external software will integrate seamlessly into your DAW or computer set-up so that it appears to be running as one with it. Well, that's the theory anyway…
And there is one other small factor that means we're very likely to have to get used to the hardware DSP box, or indeed a variation on it. Some companies are getting back into hardware simply because software piracy means that selling software alone will not pay the bills.
The dongle factor
Companies producing hardware DSP boxes to run their own or other people's software are at an advantage simply because people need the hardware to run the software, so it effectively acts as a glorified dongle, albeit one with a bit more power than your average USB key! So in the gritty real world of music production, software developed, say, for a TC PowerCore is less likely to be pirated than software produced simply as a VST-no-hardware-required application. So it could be the way forward for everyone, whether we like it or not.
So let's see quite how good the technology really is…
Classic DSP producers
TC PowerCore
TC were one of the first companies to embrace the DSP add-on theory. PowerCore is the name given to the series of products, and the first of which we'll deal with here is the PowerCore PCI MKII (£649) which has four processors and will slot very nicely into a standard PCI socket. The software plug-ins you get are many and varied including the 24/7 compressor, ClassicVerb reverb, Filtroid filter and about a dozen more. And, remember, we are talking top quality for these plugs. Powercore Unplugged (£419) is pretty much identical although you don't get the software bundled with it, so you can assemble your own collection from scratch from TC or other companies that produce titles for the PowerCore platform, like Access and Sony Oxford. PowerCore Compact (£499) is a portable version of the PCI card aimed at laptop users (both Mac and PC) and connectable via FireWire. It features less in the way of DSP but a dozen effects. The Daddy of the TC PowerCore range is the FireWire (£799) with all the effects and extra power hosted within an elegant desktop solution. All of these will work almost invisibly with your computer set-up. In the FireWire's case, all you get is a calming blue, glowing light…
Arguably the first company to really go for it DSP-wise were Creamware who, with their SCOPE system, produced the first proper computer music all-in-one environment back in 1998! (Or at least that's when I had one!) The system is still around today and available in updated formats across a large range. SCOPE Project (£749) has six SHARC processors and over 60 plug-in instruments and effects. SCOPE Project Professional (£1,467) has 14 processors and all the software and connectors from the Project card and is something of a monster card all in all. Finally Creamware's SCOPE Home (£349) is the entry level system which has three SHARCS and around 40 plug-in instruments and effects. The beauty of the Creamware system is that you get every component of the music studio in soft form, including synths, mixer, samplers and so on, all of which you can control virtually.
Universal Audio
Universal's UAD1 DSP cards have a great reputation. The entry-level card is the Project Pak (sic – £297) which is a PCI-based card with 14 plug-in effects included. Now we step up to the PCI Express Pak (£389) which offers the power and plugs for high speed PCI ports. The Flexi Pak (£599) has the hardware but you select the software (a voucher is included of $500 to do this). Neat idea! The Ultra Pak (£749) has 24 plug-ins and finally the Expert Pak (£799) has the power plus a $750 voucher to redeem for your choice of software.
As we've already seen in the software effects section of this series, Waves have a great reputation for producing quality plug-ins. The Waves APA32 (£1,199) and APA44-M (£1,799) are for the company's more demanding users allowing owners to layer up multiple instances of the effects software without putting the extra strain on their computers.
New kids on the DSP block
Over the last couple of years a few other companies have got in on the hardware accelerating act. Muse are a new company but their first product was a bold one, in the form of the Receptor (£999). Essentially it's a rack mount computer with a big hard drive to run any VST based instruments. The idea is that it has all the power and the glory of a PC but none of the mobility and stability issues. Another great idea!
Focusrite are well regarded for their hardware outboard gear which is found in pretty much every major studio around the world. The Liquid Mix (£495) delivers 32 channels of EQ and compression power with over 60 emulations modelled on some classic gear. The unit has garnered some great reviews and is now available for both Mac and PC platforms.
Last but definitely not least, SSL have just released Duende (£995) which is another power-packed hardware box, but this time with software that replicates the signal processing found in SSL consoles so offers their sound – a sound that costs tens of thousands of pounds by the way – for a shade under a grand. Nice!
So you can see when it comes to external DSP power, there is a huge amount on offer, and more, undoubtedly, to come. You might say that these boxes are an expensive option but the power they have and the quality of the effects and instruments on offer is up there (and in some cases actually better!) than the original hardware being emulated, and costs far less.
Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this (rather more lengthy than we planned) guide to computer music. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to ask the guys as Dolphin or email me via this site.

Slate Goes to College
A week of articles about higher education.
Welcome to Slate's College Week. For the next few days, we turn our eyes to the glorious existence that is college life today. The week kicks off with a look at the state of higher ed: What should every student know by the time he or she graduates? Princeton professor Stanley N. Katz recounts the vexed history of the liberal arts curriculum, and 11 prominent academics, from K. Anthony Appiah to Alan Wolfe, reveal what they'd do if they were in charge.
Is college life as debauched as Tom Wolfe thinks? Two students report from the co-ed trenches: Laurel Wamsley, a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, fills us in on library nerds and sorority gals; and Said Hyder Akbar, an Afghan-American who transferred to Yale from community college, explains how his experiences in Afghanistan have shaped his time in the Ivy League.
On Wednesday, Robert S. Boynton asks whether blogging can ruin the career of an academic. Bryan Curtis assesses college newspapers, and Douglas Wolk catches up with college radio.
Plus: David Brooks, Mark Cuban, Gish Jen, Chris Matthews, and others name the book that most mesmerized them in college. (Hint: Ayn Rand makes an appearance.)
Michael Agger unearths what students reveal about their professors online—and much more.
On this page, you can find an updated list of what we've posted each day. And don't forget that you can join the discussion in the Fray by clicking on the links at the bottom of each story.

There was a hard knocks type show about the QB competition during Wisconsin's 2011 season. Here is the link:
Pretty awesome to see how Wilson won them over.
CrimsonWazzu wrote:I actually caught this last year when it was first airing on ESPN, and Wilson immediately caught my eye. At the time, and even throughout the whole college season, it didn't even register how short he was. It didn't matter.
And it still doesn't. This guy is a winner in every sense of football and life.

SKAFF, DONALD J. Grand Blanc
Age 86, died Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at Genesys Regional Medical Center. Visitation will be held 3-7pm Saturday, November 17, 2012 at the Swartz Funeral Home, 1225 West Hill Road, Flint. One we love dearly has passed. On the first morn we find ourselves now forever without them, we are surprised and sad to find that the sun still shines, that somehow the world goes on. How can it be? No matter how bright and beautiful the day may be, something cherished is now missing. Such was the emptiness felt by the employees of Skaff Furniture, the large and widespread Skaff family along with the communities of Flint, and Point Lookout, at the passing of Donald J. Skaff. The Skaff family of Flint Michigan extends its deepest condolences to the community at large for the passing in Flint MI of patriarch Donald J. Skaff on November 7th after a debilitating illness, he was 86. Don was preceded in death by his parents, George J. Skaff and Martha (Vandemark) Skaff, his sister Marie Black, and his wife Janice "Jo" Skaff. Born on August 27th to first generation emigrant parents, a Lebanese father and Dutch mother, the life of Donald Skaff is the history of Flint itself. Every Flintoid knows the great blue Skaff Furniture warehouse that has rested at the intersection of I-23 and I-75 for decades. This is the house that Don and his brothers built from the humble beginnings of a door to door rug vending operation of a Lebanese emigrant. Don's father, George J. Skaff sold door to door around Flint and eventually moved his operation to a store front in the Capital Theater. George J. Skaff's Oriental Rugs store is listed there, on the hand painted sign in the Capital Theater retail district, and dated 1928 as among the first business that opened in that elegant space. Don was two years old at this time. Don shared a Flint childhood with his brothers John (Jack) and Woody who survive, and sisters Marie (deceased) and Pauline who also survives her brother. In high school Don proved to be a good student and showed the beginnings of a lifelong athletic prowess. In a high school of five thousand kids, Don emerged as the school's football squad quarterback and basketball team "go to man." In later life, Don would pioneer waterskiing on Lake Huron around Point Lookout, take tennis tournaments, snow ski, hunt, golf and travel abroad. Don and Jo as newlyweds (1950) bought a cottage on the shores of Lake Huron in the township of Au Gres, up north. This tennis and lake community gave full expression to Don and his family, and an athletic legacy to his children, each one a proven talent and lover of sport like their father. Around Point Lookout Don and Jo will be missed. Meanwhile Don's high school was disrupted when World War Two changed Flint forever. Don was selected for officer training and rode the bus from Flint to Notre Dame where he attended college until the end of the war. A short active duty followed in the Navy. Following his Naval service, Don carried on in his father's carpet business. On December 2, 1950 Don married his wife of 61 years Janice "Jo" Durbin. The couple had four children all of whom survive along with six grandchildren: Bill Skaff of Colorado and his wife Carolyn with grandchildren Lisa and Daniel, Jean Skaff of Grand Blanc MI, Mike Skaff of Linden, MI and his wife Vanessa, grandchildren Mason, Bella and Alexianna, Johanna Moore of Graz Austria and her husband Buddy and grandchild, Zoe. Affable good humor and surpassingly funny clean jokes were a personal hallmark of Don Skaff, and he could, without hesitation recite the Alphabet backwards at mind boggling speed! Astounding to hear! Don also shared a durable, competitive and appealing business public image with his brothers who both survive him, but no longer work. These Skaff brothers built Skaff Furniture through various configurations into the cornerstone business that has been a Flint landmark of generations. Not to worry however as a new generation of Skaffs have stepped up to continue the family business. In remembrance of Don Skaff, we think of kids put through college who otherwise had no hope of attending. We think of relatives and friends helped in times of need. Of a whistling and happy man who was both private and public. Tender, loving and patient in the care of his wife Jo over months of illness as she recently lost her battle with cancer. A man who himself suffered greatly toward his end but reported only "medium" discomfort, who quit cigarettes and never drank. Of a man who knew and loved sports. A light heart, a youthful sprit, a clear voice, in tune-singing along with Rock and Roll songs and a four door Cadillac going to work, Monday through Saturday...until the end. Don Skaff never retired, nor shall he ever retire from our memories. Rest in peace. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Salvation Army and The United Way. Your condolences may be shared with the family at swartzfuneralhomeinc.com

Do you really need an office or dedicated workspace at a company site? If you're a knowledge worker -- what we used to call white-collar workers -- you probably don't. Chances are you already work at home multiple days a month, perhaps even once or twice a week. I know many companies that have moved to the concept of hoteling, where most people have no dedicated space but instead reserve a desk when they need or want to come into the office, such as for face-to-face meetings with colleagues or clients. Maybe that's the direction in which we should be moving. But it's not solely cake and ice cream.
All the advantages of avoiding the office
There are many advantages to not going to an office, starting with saving money on gas and transit, as well as commute time. Most people I know use that time to work more, which companies like, though it raises issues for union workforces, overtime calculations, and other HR/legal matters -- areas way behind the reality of work today.
[ Galen Gruman explains the fundamental forces behind consumerization. | Understand how to both manage and benefit from the consumerization of IT trend with InfoWorld's "Consumerization Digital Spotlight" PDF special report. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Consumerization of IT newsletter today. ]
You also get greater schedule flexibility. Work and personal long ago blended for information workers, despite what companies say about not using your phone or PC on the job for personal reasons beyond emergencies or breaktime activities. Of course, companies don't ask their employees to refrain from work after hours at home -- it's OK for companies to use your resources, even if you can't use theirs. Many companies also turn a blind eye to the use of personal technology at home or in the office. In the end, it's free labor. So most employees who flex on behalf of the compay expect their company to flex in return, and they act accordingly.
The home office is much more focused. My work is collaborative, but not often in a live, in-person way. Being in a room full of people talking and typing and walking is distracting, and it will get worse when my company moves us to a smaller space with lower dividers. Of course, if our work demanded more real-time, face-to-face collaboration, the separation would be a problem and having more shared space would be a positive -- what's an advantage for one employee's situation may be a disadvantage for another's.
That flexibility and quiet is well and good for people who are self-directed and trustworthy. The rest shouldn't be working outside of a supervised environment, though supervision can be electronic and still allow for working offsite such as at a home office or a remote shared workspace (increasingly seen in cities).
I prefer working at home not only for the flexibility and saved commute time -- more important, I have better technology at home than I do at the office. My MacBook at the office is four years old and perfectly serviceable, but it's slow compared to my one-year-old model at home, especially now that IT has installed Symantec antivirus on my work Mac, which has slowed it even more and periodically pesters me with useless notices that can't be turned off. (My Windows-using friends have welcomed me to their world.) Plus, Symantec uses Java, which is where the latest Trojans came from, so my work Mac is more exposed than my home Mac because its antivirus protection makes me turn on Java -- Kafkaesque, isn't it?
My moderate-speed cable plan (3Mbps) at home is much faster than the Internet access at the office. It's usually the other way around, and in fact used to be. Who knows the cause? But I do know that at home I can take care of such matters, while at work I'm stuck with whatever's available.
And that's the real issue. I choose my broadband service, my computer, my peripherals, my desk and chair, my backup strategy (I save more documents and data at home than the office does, so my home archives are more complete), and so on at home. At work, I get whatever is provided, which is sometimes great and sometimes not. No wonder that the federal government and many companies and local governments encourage work at home, even subsidizing employee purchase of standard tools such as Microsoft Office.

OneBrasil is a Marketing company based in Brazil who provide a full package of Integrated Marketing Communication services including branding and promotion,
market research, strategic planning, account management, copywriting, web services, training sales and much more.
We are looking for a logo design that expresses creativity, professionalism, some technology and modern.
The logo should be created in full color, but should preferrably also look good when printed in black&white.
Things to Consider
- Tagline: 'Marketing Integrado' - appears only in full version- Our Brand Name is OneBrasil but we will work a short name too - One - And Brasil will only appears sometimes and in the full version with tagline.

Some inspirations
We love 3D logos like this:
Logos using some multi-elements integrated:http://99designs.com/contests/14752/entries/1086464

This year's worship service will feature McCormick's Visiting Professor of Preaching Lisa Thompson who will preach and Iglesia Del Pueblo-Hope Center who will provide the music.
This year's theme, "I was a stranger and you welcomed me," was selected by women from France. The French World Day of Prayer (WDP) Committee looked for a Christian response to struggles concerning immigration and for ways to welcome "the stranger." The women who prepared this year's worship service and Bible studies reached into Jesus' identification with "the least of these" in Matthew 25 and drew on customs of hospitality found in Leviticus to paint a picture of welcoming the stranger.
"Women are actively engaged in urban ministry as pastors, agency leaders, social workers, advocates for the oppressed, entrepreneurs, and healers. We are faithful, tenacious promoters of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many work with limited recognition, others serve the church on nights and weekends (working weekdays in other jobs). Almost all juggle multiple responsibilities for home and family. Finding spiritual balance is a profound need for us. We look forward to this annual opportunity to share with other women in prayer," said Rev. Dr. Deborah Kapp, Women's Urban Ministry Network Director and McCormick's Edward F. and Phyllis K. Campbell Professor of Urban Ministry/Faculty Director of Assessment.
Since the nineteenth century, Christian women in the United States and Canada have initiated cooperative activities in many areas of concern for women and children, the role of prayer in mission work and the promotion of world peace through involvement in mission work worldwide. The first organized "day of prayer for the world" held nationally was in Canada on January 9, 1920. The United States soon followed on February 20, 1920.
Each year, a different country serves as the writer of the World Day of Prayer worship service and other materials.

The MOUSE as used in Puppy
This is a place holder for discussing the role of the mouse in Puppy Linux system use.
This THREAD intends to discuss the use of the mouse from its traditional understanding in Puppyland to what a simple change by TaZoC has done to advance that understanding in his LIghtHouse64 distro
what is done with the mouse, per se, in the big3;
Touch based systems
, and
If you are unfamiliar with LH64 it will be covered. If you are unfamiliar with the differences between a "click" and "long-pause/long-click"; it too, will be discussed.
And what is hoped is a consistent understanding that developers can begin to evaluate for user benefit as we march into the future of users system hardware and Puppy Linux's desktop.
The Mouse
Here is a brief on the traditional mouse. There are actually 2 that can be considered traditional; namely IBM's/Microsoft's 2-3 button versions and Apple's 1 button.
They address how a user can interact with windows on screen and what each "click" means.
Along with this is a "Standards" group's definition of mouse behavior as it interacts with a windows on a desktop.
From a user perspective in 32bit Puppyland, several of the distros have the desktop architected such that if you click a mouse button on an empty part of the desktop, there may/may not be a response to your click. In most, if you left-click on an empty spot, nothing will happen, yet if you right-click the desktop will present the taskbar's system menu on-screen. This is pretty much how most all PUPs work.
Lighthouse's developer, TaZoC, saw an expanded role in the services that a mouse could deliver. His implementation departs from the Puppy standard way to a new way of mouse service to the user when one clicks on the desktop. The first (and I view this as the most important - more on this later) change was to reverse the left-clck right-click functions so that a left-click now presents the user with the system's menu whenever the user clicks an open spot on the desktop. He furthers uses the middle-click right-click for other users services. Now why is left-click that important: BECAUSE ANY USER CAN NAVIGATE THE SYSTEM MENU!!! at any time by left clicking an open spot to navigate. This makes the menu available from almost anytime needed. In a touch monitor system, the user does NOT have to squeeze his finger into the tiny little icon in the bottom right corner, but can merely touch the screen for a menu to navigate system application for their needs. This simple move, though subtle is very important in a general system's use where a user can have a non-touch monitor as well as a touch monitor and have equivalent left-mouse functionality. Currently, we all know, that touch monitor laptops and PC have been around for years. And, as the 2014 landscape becomes apparent, systems are already in the marketplace bringing more and more touch systems into the hands of users across the world.
Touch based systems
In order to understand this, we must back up for a moment to visualize how prior touch OSes used the finger to what has matured to use of the finger in xPhone/xTab use today. The xPhone/xTab market (it doesn't matter if its iPhone or AndroidPhones) there is a concept of click and "long-pause click"(really hold the window/icon for 1-2 seconds). With the click in means the same as in traditional use of left-click with a mouse. Long click, though, is being wrestled with in the
xSmart device
industry on how best to implement. In many cases, the actual developer gets to decide how long-pause is to deliver user functions. Some provide a help functions, some provide other user services via long-pause. This click and long pause is the "new" standard that we are all witnessing in Microsoft and xSmart vendors across the board. So no matter if we look at Windows8 on Surface/all-in-one PC/tablet/phone this concept is here to stay not just with them, but across the landscape of Apple and Google as well.
So if we perceive this with any validity, what would be a good approach that would bring a good and consistent use of the mouse in Puppy. Should TaZoC's model, as simple as it seems, be looked at for practical user use? Are there other models which a "general purpose system" can bring to bear no matter what architecture PC, monitor, or device the user would choose to run Puppy on?
There are many things Puppy will see. This is one of the rather subtle ones. And as subtle as it seems it has some importance in how we present useful operations to users of Puppy Linux.
Ideas presented for your review and helpful comments as Puppy moves into 2014.

What we're about
Learn about the fundamental building blocks of our universe, their amazing properties and the impact of this on lives today. The concepts derived from Quantum Mechanics, the study of the behaviour of the fundamental particles and energies of nature , have been imperative in the shift in understanding of our universe from one of determinism to uncertainty, probability and observation - where objects can no longer be measured exactly but exist throughout Space and Time.
We have looked into Black Holes , along with determining the Universe's beginning and possible end.
We have also discussed how Cosmology, Philosophy and Spirituality may even spark each other off & can often mirror each other.
This group consists of talks, meetings and debates from the intelligent layman's point of view. Meetings will remain easy-going, fun and informative. All people are invited, whether they be interested in purely the scientific or the philosophical discussions in this vast & exciting field. Feel free to attend however much you know or don't know

An 11-year-old Brazilian boy is emerging as a soccer prodigy, and being scouted by FC Barcelona, one of the greatest football teams in the world. But here's what's really amazing about Gabriel Muniz: he was born with no feet.
Although he wears prosthetics much of the time, on the field he plays without, dribbling, passing and kicking skillfully, according to the Daily Mail. He's one of the best soccer players at his school and captain of his gym class.
Plus: 8 Amazing Kids Who Made a Difference
FC Barcelona invited Muniz to their training camp in September, where he'll get a chance to meet his idol, player Lionel Messi. Although he understands his disability means it's unlikely he'll ever play professionally, he's hoping soccer will one day become a Paralympic sport.
