2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport: Road Trip With Friends
Our long-term 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport seems like the ideal road trip car, right? We certainly thought so: It has a comfortable interior, a powerful engine, and a lot of space for luggage and other cargo. But we decided to lend it to a staffer for an actual road trip, just to see if its on-paper attributes transfer to the real world. How'd it do?
Good Where It Counts
When it comes to the big stuff -- the most important aspects of a road trip car -- the Santa Fe Sport does a great job. The cargo space, for instance, is excellent -- even though we don't have the extended-length, 7-passenger version of this crossover. Ours still has more than enough room for the typical luggage four people might bring on a weekend retreat, and then some.
Interior comfort is great, too. The seats are excellent, both in front and back. And there are a few neat touches that endear us to the Santa Fe Sport, especially if you're often driving with passengers. One is the large number of charge ports located throughout the car. They come in handy in today's world, where many of us use different types of phones, and thus different types of phone chargers. Another: heated rear seats. It's one of those features you never knew you needed. But trust us -- once you have them, you won't want to go back.
Power is another strong point. The Santa Fe Sport may not have a V6, but everyone who drives our long-term car agrees it doesn't need one. The 264-horsepower turbo four is more than adequate in nearly every situation -- especially, as our road-tripper writes, "on gravel and uphill."
Detail Demerits
So where does the Santa Fe Sport lose points? In the details. Our road trip brought out a few small items we'd change, and while they're not deal breakers, they can get a little annoying.
One such item is that the door openings seem a little small, especially in the back. This could be because of the rear wheel well, which isn't as much of an issue on the long-wheelbase Santa Fe. In the Sport, our road-tripping staffer found that some of her companions hit their heads when trying to get in, get out or load and unload cargo.
Another issue: wind noise. On the highway, don't expect to crack the windows even just a little. The noise is just too loud, which means you'll have to turn on the gas-sucking air conditioning in hot temperatures. And while it might be a very minor concern, we noticed the fuel-door release is hard to find -- especially in the dark. It's located on the driver's door, but we expect it might take you more than a few fill-ups before you remember its exact spot.
Still, a few small details don't ruin our overall feeling that this 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is an excellent car for road trips -- particularly if you spring for those heated rear seats.

Mark Brownlie is movin' on up ... the ski hill
Mark Brownlie is making his way up the mountain, and he's darned near the top.
The head coach of the Mammoth Mountain Ski team last week earned a promotion, becoming the ski area's Managing Director of Athletics.
"It's a great honor," Brownlie said in his signature Scottish accent.
"I look forward to creating new possibilities for the Community Foundation and to keep the goal of having the best race department and race team in the country."
"In this new role," said senior vice-president Bill Cockroft, "Mark will oversee the Junior Team that currently has ski and freestyle teams and the Junior Snowboard team managed by Ben Wisner, as well as the Race Department, managed by Beat Hupfer.
"Mark will represent the interests of athletics with the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundation, and he has been and will continue to work with the Mammoth Unified School District and other educational institutions to ensure that our athletes are supported in their academic pursuits while achieving their best personal results athletically and academically."
In addition, Cockroft said, Brownlie will develop organizing committees to design and implement special events to support and highlight MMSA's teams and their position in the snowsport industry, and he will design and operate off-season events, activities and revenue centers as summer camps, training facilities and other athletic endeavors.
And let's not ignore the summer, Brownlie said.
"The other part of this is integrating the our own community and the Southern California community, and other people from around the world ,to enjoying Mammoth summer activities."
Before coming to Mammoth to work as a Race Department worker and Masters Coach in 1997, Brownie ran ski schools in New Zealand as well as schools and a tour ski business in Scotland.
He was promoted to FIS Team Coach in 1999. In 2002, he was promoted to head coach of the ski team. In 2006 he became program director and head coach.
In 2008, Mark was the key driver for the development of the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundation and the creation of the Mammoth Invitational.

The giant luminaries this summer were such a hit, I thought it was time for another lighting project.
While I was searching Lowe's for inspiration, I ran into my cute sister (above) and brother in law.
I decided this replacement cover would be fun to use. It was listed on clearance for $5.47, but kept ringing up at $1.47, I hope that you are just as lucky.
All you need a string of white lights.
I taped the lights down,
and just made sure they were evenly distributed.
You could use the surface to display glass objects,
or maybe use it to serve food or drinks at one of your ultra hip soiree's.
It is really great as a wall hanging,
or straight up to add a soft and interesting light. This could be really beautiful incorporated into your Christmas decorations.

The City of Miami Commission let museum people drone on and on and on. Peter Erhlich, from Scenic Miami, (against the LED signs) was treated rudely I thought. I don't like the cross-examination when they aren't similarly cross-examining the PRO Led sign people. Their testimony was just as subjective as Peter's yet they weren't challenged. This Commission will never be sorry but the people living in the City will be one day. It stinks. The whole damn charade sucks because it is another in a long line of bad deals. Another friggin' bad deal steam rolls through a compliant government. The sign companies have the last laugh.

CRESTVIEW � Denzel Ware was a force to be reckoned with Friday night as Crestview High School hosted Navarre High School in District 1-7A boys basketball play. Ware scored 15 points to lead a trio of Bulldogs in double figures as Crestview won 54-41.
CRESTVIEW � Denzel Ware was a force to be reckoned with Friday night as Crestview High School hosted Navarre High School in District 1-7A boys basketball play.
Ware scored 15 points to lead a trio of Bulldogs in double figures as Crestview won 54-41.
Jerry Aaron, 12 points and Ronnie Baylark, 10 points joined Ware in double figures.
The win assured the Bulldogs (15-4, 6-1) at least a tie for first place in regular season district play. A win over Niceville on Friday gives Crestview the top seed in the district tournament that starts Feb. 4 at Fort Walton Beach.
Bulldog coach Greg Watson said he isn't that concerned about where Crestview is seeded in the tournament.
It's important (the seeding)," he said, "but it's not the most important thing. We are kind of going through some stretches where we are not playing real, real well. So my main goal is to get us playing better whether we are seeded one, two or three, whatever it is we have to start playing better.
We are doing it (playing well) in spurts. We will play good for five minutes and then we will have two or three minutes where we are sloppy with the ball and lose a guy defensively. We've just got to fix that."
Friday's game was indicative of Watson's concerns.
The Bulldogs never trailed, but it was only in the final minutes when they were able to put the Raiders (5-13, 1-4) away.
Aaron gave the Bulldogs a quick lead 24 seconds into the game, but Gaitlin Casey, who was the game's leading scorer with 17 points, responded with a score for the Raiders.
Back-to-back baskets by Ware and Aaron pushed the Bulldog lead to 6-2. Casey answered with two more baskets to tie the game with 4:36 left in the first quarter.
A pair of Baylark free throws with 4:05 left in the first put the Bulldogs in front to stay.
Casey continued to do his best to keep the Raiders in striking distance, but the Bulldogs had too many weapons.
A 3-point basket by Navarre's Jaonte Cunningham closed the Crestview lead to 12-11, but a Ware basket and a 3-pointer by Rashad Bess pushed the lead back to 17-11 at the end of the first period.
Crestview led 29-19 at the half.
With Matthew Webb leading the way with a pair of 3-pointers the Raiders chipped away at the Bulldog lead.
Blake Malter's basket with 2:03 left in the third quarter closed the Bulldog lead to 36-32, but that would be as close as Navarre would get as Crestview held on for the win.

Gallery: L'Uomo Vogue Manages To Find Some Costumes Katy Perry's Never Worn Before
If there's one thing Katy Perry is undisputedly good at besides making me want to claw my ears out, it's costumes. I don't mean that in a demeaning way, either. (Not that last part, anyway.) Like, if she ever stops doing music for whatever reason, I'm sure she could have a great career in some costume-related field. (Can we trade her to fashion in exchange for having Lily Allen back, please?) But even a big fan such as myself must admit that the retro 1960s cosplay thing does get redundant after a while. Enter L'Uomo Vogue with some gorgeous new costumes she's never worn before.

I think that's right...but no matter how efficient the kite a minimum wind velocity is needed. How much lower the viable wind speed will go? Probably not much lower. The race boards work well because they can efficiently help generate apparent wind (both upwind and off the wind) with efficient foils (skegs) and a good planing surface, but other limiting factors will enter the game.ronnie wrote:Its a good question to ask, because at the moment, the boards are capable of handling down to 6 knots, but the kites are the limiting factor -
A good comparison to look at would be the latest Americas Cup boats - amazing hull technolgy and aerodynamics at work, flying hulls upwind and downwind in 7-10 kts, boatspeeds hitting 25kts!! Pretty amazing stuff, but mechanically quite different. But the downside to this is that
1. They are afraid to sail the boats in over 15 kts of breeze
2. They cannot handle waves over 2m
3. The boats are super expensive
so it's always a tradeoff...hard to "have it all" in one boat/board
but great to see people still pushing it and getting better and better performance.
Don't get me wrong - I enjoy kiting in light wind, but at some point it is just a challenge to stay upwind and be powered enough to have a little fun w/ waves or freestyle.
As soon as you go downwind on a wave in 7kts wind you may lose all your apparent wind and have negative wind, and unless your board can constantly generate the minimum apparent wind it just becomes a struggle IMHO.

A couple of weeks ago, I used an excerpt of Beth Kephart's A Slant of Sun in class to talk about emotional distance—writing the hard stuff without becoming sentimental. (I also used Lorrie Moore's "People Like That Are the Only People Here," but I'm not going to talk about that right now.)
A Slant of Sun is a memoir about Kephart's son Jeremy, who very early on began showing signs of a "pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified." It's a journey of love, Kephart trying desperately to lead her son out of his interiority and into the world.
This book was recommended to me before I was even pregnant. (Before I ever read anything about pregnancy and motherhood—in those glorious days when I still got nine hours of sleep a night.) But it was recommended because I was having trouble writing about my relationship with my husband, about the different ways we engage (or don't engage) with the world, about the different ways we react to conflict.
And Kephart blew me away. She was able to describe, through scene and gesture and description, the togetherness and the aloneness that are both so much part of being a couple.
I love this:
"He inhabits his soul with more ease than I do mine, and time does not defeat him: there will be, he predicts, another day. Patient, he waits. An artist, he disdains calculations, expectations, routine, and he is in and out of space and language—prone to laughing, out of the blue, at a joke his brother made, not today or even last week, but decades ago, in El Salvador, at the water hole on the coffee farm beneath a cliff of yellow parrots. He paints and makes the old man young or the plaster bleed or the priest name his assassin, and when my husband makes his guitar sing, he falls deep inside old Spanish, closes his eyes, and finds himself where he wants to be: among the swollen smells of orange rinds and steamed pupusas, above the slow creak of a cotton hammock, near the familiar noise of the domestic help snapping spiders out of bedsheets."
That's simply beautiful.
A Slant of Sun was Kephart's first memoir (and also a finalist for the National Book Award.) She has written a number of other books since then, but her first three memoirs—A Slant of Sun, Into the Tangle of Friendship, and Still Love in Strange Places—make up a trilogy that, she says, "explore the way we love, the reasons we love, the things we do to bring depth and meaning into our vulnerable, implausible lives."
She's really on to something here.
I liked Still Love in Strange Places even better than A Slant of Sun, and recommend it to anyone who has lived in or visited Latin America (and even if you haven't). But I also think it's an important book because here, again—even more—Kephart is able to look closely at her husband, at herself, and at their relationship, and she does it lovingly and honestly, but never sentimentally. (A couple of weeks ago I was lamenting how hard it is to write about those closest to us, and Kephart puts me to shame.)
From Still Love:
"He is an architect and an artist, not a farmer, and his education is elite and Ivy League, so I can look at him and think his home is where I am, with me, and I can convince myself that I know what he's suggesting through his tales. But my husband's home is El Salvador, the rhythms of a language I do not speak, the memories of a jungle that could pitch a man to death, the simple, poetic, unexpected idea that what is to be shared and seen on a sunny day is women rubbing the stains out of their clothes on silver river rocks."
When I was working on my first draft of Ready for Air, I came back to Kephart's books because I needed to see that it was possible to show the different ways that D. and I think and inhabit and experience the world. (And indeed, when Stella was in the hospital—and in the months after she was home and I was stuck inside with her, quarantined from the world—we seemed to experience everything differently.) And so I would tumble into Kephart's books, and think yes, yes. It's all there.
Her words helped me find a way to write the love (and the togetherness and the aloneness, and the frustration) between me and D. Hmmm, and now I'm thinking this: that my book, though it is largely about learning to love my daughter, is also largely about learning to love and really understand my husband.
The reasons we love, indeed.

Professional Dependability
Relay G30 broadcasts its robust signal over the 2.4GHz band. This keeps the signal free from many kinds of interference. For added security, Relay G30 employs exclusive signal protection technology: it broadcasts an encrypted data stream on six channels simultaneously. Traditional wireless systems, on the other hand, are susceptible to dropouts, static and many other kinds of interference. Broadcasting over congested UHF bands, their signals may be affected by interference generated as far away as 160 kilometres, or more.
Refreshing Simplicity
Relay G30 is a low-profile system that's easy to use. The lightweight transmitter remains out of the way of your performance, and the rugged receiver can sit on top of your amp or be added to your pedal board.

Orange Seal Cycling Products is based out of Cedar Park Texas, and launched their products back in 2011, and their distinctive orange tinted fluids definitely make them unique looking. They had their line of products on display at Outdoor Demo, and the lineup includes a bike cleaner, chain lube, tubeless sealant, new tubeless valves and tape and a full tubeless kit.
Bike Cleaner
The cleaner is eco-friendly, and cleans, polishes, and protects your bike in one easy step. The cleaner is made with a special formula, which uses nanotechnology adapted from competitive jet skiing, and the nano-sized particles are suspended in solution, which helps fill in scratches and imperfections on bike frames and parts. It removes dirt and crud, polishes to a shine, protects from UV rays, and repels dust. It comes in an 8 oz spray bottle, and retails for $9.99.
Chain Lube
The lube also uses nanotechnology to help reduce friction. They suspend a variety of nanite particles in a liquid solution, for lubrication and friction reduction, so the chain and drivetrain will operate with maximum efficiency. They call it "liquid ball bearings on a molecular scale." The liquid deposits the nanite's down within the recesses of the chain and then evaporates, leaving behind a dry environment, which reduces the accumulation of dirt. A clean chain is a happy chain! It comes in a 6 oz bottle and retails for $12.99.
Tubeless Tire Sealant
The new high technology tubeless sealant and is supposed to be able to seal punctures up to 1/4″ (not tested), is eco-friendly, uses a premium latex formula, and is the lightest on the market. Their proprietary latex formula uses nanite technology, and the fluid consists of multiple sizes and shapes of solid particles, which quickly clot punctures and holes. The distinctive orange color (think Orange Julius) makes it easy to identify leaks. The mixture has a long life span and is sustainable at extreme altitude and temperatures. It comes in an 8 oz bottle, and retails for $14.99. I liked the new little accompanying tube which fits securely over the valve stem and tight top cap, which should make adding sealant much easier, and eliminate any spillage. It will be interesting to see how it works in the real world?
Tubeless Kit, Tape and Valves
They'll be releasing a tubeless kit, tubeless tape and tubeless valves soon, and all the products look very promising. The tubeless kit includes two valves, enough tape for two tires, and 8 oz of sealant, and should retail for $49. The tubeless tape comes in 18mm and 24mm widths, are 36 yards in lengths and retails for $12.99.
I was really intrigued by the tubeless valves, and the bottom rubber gasket should be able to seal up a lot of rim shapes. There's an entire spectrum of shapes and designs of rim beds, and the soft and pliable rubber gasket of the valve should be able to conform well to most anything. In addition, the gasket can be trimmed for a totally customized fit. The valves come in 48 and 60mm heights, and a pair retails for $14.99.

Reviewed By James B (HUBERT, NC) Reviewed for a 1999 Lexus GS 300 —7/27/2014 2:57 PM
The cars original wood trim had separated from the extreme heat and UV damage, essentially destroying any resale value. The trim kit was an identical match to the factory, cut to the exact same precision. Application is straight forward, although not for the heavy handed or impatient. The 3m backing, is an immediate and strong bond. The outcome was so dramatic that I went from plans to trade the car in to opting to keep the car for a few more years. Amazing "Bang for the Buck"

Hi, Carolyn!
I like to have a good set of casual friends from work, church, etc., and a couple of close friends, but my wife only wants one or two very close friends.
Since we move around a lot, I tend to have more casual friends and struggle sometimes to find close friends, but she has no friends other than me.
I don't think this is healthy for her, but I'm not quite sure what to do about it. It also makes me feel guilty for going out with my friends and leaving her behind; she has made it clear that she does not want to come along. She works from home, which makes it even worse for her. Any thoughts on how to work this out?
-- Different Ideas
Are you sure there's a "this" to work out? Would she agree this is unhealthy/"even worse" for her?
While I agree such isolation isn't ideal, I defer to her on what suits her best. As long as she isn't pressuring you to stay home, or trying to guilt you into denying your nature, and as long as she's at peace with your current arrangement, then arguably there's nothing for you to fix: She happily meets her need for solitude while you meet your need for companionship.
In this scenario, the solution to your guilt would be to cut it out; she's OK with it. Enough said.
There is an obvious flaw to this arrangement, though, one you don't name: Presumably you enjoy her company (thus the whole marrying her thing), and so it must be sad for you to go everywhere stag.
If that's the accurate scenario, then your problem, not hers, is the one that needs working out, by broaching the idea of her joining you more often to see friends -- but not from your letter's I-worry-about-you-because-this-can't-be-healthy perspective. Instead, show your respect for her needs by making it about yours:
"I respect that you're a homebody -- and accept it 90 percent of the time, but I also miss you and want to go out with you. Would you humor me by coming out ... once a month?"
If this doesn't give you a satisfying result, or if you are indeed worried about her -- if she's not at peace, if she's depressed or clingy -- then you do need to express your chronic discomfort. Just treat it as a first step vs. an answer. A rut that deep, be it for her or for your marriage, calls for competent professional help.
Dear Carolyn:
My ex-husband and I have learned to co-parent very well and are supportive of each other.
He recently remarried. I commented on how much his ring looks like his "old" one. That's when I was hit upside the head with "Oh, it's the same ring!"
Huh?!?! He said he hadn't told his new wife. The ring has a very personal inscription inside.
Should I bring this up to her? I don't want to cause problems between us or between them. I'm just VERY uncomfortable with this situation.
-- Ex-Wife
You divorced him already; his marriage isn't your problem.
Your primary responsibility now is of parent. In that role, egad, you leave the boat un-rocked -- except, perhaps, to urge Romeo Einstein to have the inscription removed.
Email Carolyn

Foothill College Astronomy Instructor Receives 2009 Hayward Award for Excellence in Education
Foothill College Astronomy Instructor Andrew Fraknoi is one of four community colleges teachers to be named recipient of the 2009 Hayward Award for Excellence in Education by the California Community College Board of Governors. The four faculty members were selected from across the state for their commitment to professional excellence in their fields as well as their contributions to their community.
In honor of former state chancellor Gerald C. Hayward, the award honors community college faculty members who demonstrate the highest level of commitment to their students, college and profession. Recipients are nominated by their local peers and selected as winners by representatives of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges. In addition to excellence in teaching, they must have a record of outstanding performance in professional activities as well as a record of active participation on campus.
Fraknoi has spent his career improving the accessibility of astronomy to students and community members being served by Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. A resident of San Francisco, he is known for his skill in interpreting astronomical discoveries and ideas in everyday language. In 2008, he was awarded the prestigious American Institute of Physics Andrew Gemant Award. He was selected as California Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 2007. Fraknoi's Physics for Poets: Everything You Wanted to Know about Einstein but Were Afraid to Ask course received the 2005 Innovation of the Year Award from the League for Innovation in the Community College.
"I am honored and grateful for this award," Fraknoi said. "My mission in life has been to share a cosmic perspective and my love of the scientific method with students for whom science has been a challenge.
"Many august scientific societies have made official statements on the challenges to our modern understanding of science. But such statements mean nothing to the average student. It's up to those of us in the trenches of modern education--and there are few trenches as full of the nitty gritty of real life as the community colleges--to show students the real power of critical thinking, of evidence-based judgment, and of the skeptical use of their rational minds. This is the challenge I relish every quarter I teach. I thank Foothill College very much for giving me the privilege of teaching there and I thank all of you for recognizing the value in that teaching," Fraknoi said.
Foothill students praise Fraknoi's ability to translate difficult concepts into entertaining and conceptually relevant instruction. "You are one of the best teachers I have found in all of my scholastic studies," said Robin Forsberg of Fraknoi. "You share your knowledge, rather than show it off. You provide us with an opportunity to understand and enjoy. You are providing a great service to your students, Foothill College, and the community."
"I believe that an understanding of our place in the wider universe and the methods of science are part of the birthright of everyone living on our planet," Fraknoi said. "Yet, the way science is taught in this country can often discourage non-science majors from taking a lifelong interest--or even a course-long interest--in science. My philosophy is to show students that science is engaging, human, and part of our cultural heritage. An example of this is the interdisciplinary Physics for Poets class I have developed, where I discuss and get students involved with Einstein's work using analogies, demonstrations, cartoons, and examples from the student's own experiences, without using an excess of mathematics. Once they internalize the concepts, we read stories and a novel that are illuminated by an understanding of the science--and even play music inspired by Einstein's work."
Fraknoi does everything he can to make his classes fun, including using visuals, reading poems, recommending science fiction stories, and even doing a moon-revolution or pulsar-beam dance in front of the class.
"I try to communicate science in everyday language, drawing the students in, instead of pushing them away," Fraknoi said. "My astronomy courses stress the larger themes of the vast scales of space and time, varieties of nature, and intricate beauty of the subatomic world. I spend time in each class talking about the history of women and minorities in science, and showing what a waste it is to exclude anyone from the pleasure of science. I am so delighted when students who have not succeeded in science before tell me that, for the first time, they 'get it' and understand why people are excited about science."
"I can't tell you how fascinating it was for me to have had the opportunity to learn about stars, galaxies, and the universe from you," said former Foothill student Cathy Stepanek of Fraknoi. "Your excitement about the topic is contagious. Thank you for inviting questions and for your clear and thorough explanations. Your humor, knowledge, and the historical, cultural, and musical references were very much appreciated. I am now in awe of this universe and our ability to understand it. It is a privilege to have been your student."
Fraknoi credits his success to the numerous great teachers he himself learned from throughout his career. In fact, he feels so strongly about providing a forum for experienced instructors to share their approaches with colleagues who are new to the field that he developed the Cosmos in the Classroom Symposia, a series of workshops on new ways of teaching introductory astronomy. The first symposium began in 1996, with just a California group of instructors. It has steadily expanded and now meets every three years. The group's last meeting in 2007 brought together nearly 200 instructors from around the country for three days of hands-on workshops and networking. To defray costs, Fraknoi obtained NASA grants for scholarships, so that part-time instructors and those from colleges that serve significant numbers of minority students, but have no travel funding, could also attend. "Every good teacher of astronomy can touch the lives of so many thousands of students over the years and nurturing a new generation of good teachers is something that is very much worth our best efforts," he said.
Ten years ago, Fraknoi founded the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series, which has grown to be one of the most popular events at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. For many of these free lectures, Foothill's 900-seat theater is filled to overflow capacity with crowds eager to hear current developments in astronomy from world-renowned scientists. The slate of impressive guest lecturers who have presented at Foothill College include the first woman in history to discover a planet, a U.S. astronaut, a winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, and the discoverer of the dwarf planet beyond Pluto.
Radio listeners know Fraknoi as a frequent guest on local and national news and talk programs. In Northern California, he currently appears on the Gil Gross Show on KGO Newstalk AM 810, and was a regular on the Jim Eason Show and Pete Wilson Show on the same station. He has also been a regular guest on Forum with Michael Krasny on KQED, and is the astronomer-in-residence on the syndicated Los Angeles-based Mark & Brian Show. Nationally, he has been heard on Science Friday and Weekend All Things Considered on National Public Radio.
A prolific author, Fraknoi co-edited The Planets and The Universe, two collections of science articles and science fiction stories for Bantam Books in the 1980s. His children's book on astronomy, Wonderful World of Space, was published by Disney in 2007, and features astronomy puns using Disney and Pixar film characters.
The four Hayward Award recipients, each from different areas of the state, are selected and honored annually at the March board of governors' meeting. The candidates are evaluated on their commitment to education; serving students; community colleges, including support for open access and helping students succeed; serving the institution through participation in professional and/or student activities; and serving as a representative of the profession beyond the local institution. A $1,250 cash award and plaque is presented to each recipient. In addition to Fraknoi, the 2009 award recipients are Shasta College Vocal & Choral Music Instructor Elizabeth Waterbury, Antelope Valley College Physics Instructor Christos Valiotis, and Golden West College Counselor Stephanie Dumont.
Academic Senate for California Community Colleges is a nonprofit
professional organization for the faculty of 110 California community
colleges. It serves 60,000 faculty members throughout the state
who impact millions of students annually. For more information,

Last weekend, our Aquarium Conservation Team (ACT!) hosted a tree planting event at Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge. Eastern Neck is a 2,285-acre stopover area for migratory and wintering waterfowl at the mouth of the Chester River on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Funded through the US Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Chesapeake Bay Trust, and National Wildlife Federation, community volunteers, students and partners planted 15,000 native hardwood trees creating a 300 foot forest buffer along the river. Since 2000, we have restored more than 12 acres of wetland habitat, demonstrating the beneficial use of dredge material. The wetlands provide refuge to a variety of wildlife including terrapins, birds, snakes and small mammals.
In total, 80 students from Rock Hall Elementary, Kent County High School and Aquarium On Wheels (an after school program for Baltimore City Youth) participated alongside 18 Maryland Conservation Corps, 19 Aquarium Conservation Team and 36 community volunteers. Our planting project at Eastern Neck is part of a larger initiative to educate local school children on the importance of marsh habitat around the Chesapeake Bay using these restored wetlands as a living classroom.
US Fish and Wildlife Staff will continue to monitor trees over the next several years to assure success of the newly-planted seedlings!
Want to get out in the field and give back to our local wildlife? Join us at our of our upcoming conservation events!

Get the Shade: Wrath Of Angels trailer off WP (33mb)
Shade: Wrath of Angels boasts 30 levels of intense action, featuring environments from the modern day, Middle-Ages, Ancient Egypt and the mysterious Shadowland. The player takes on the role of a secretive ex-military mercenary, who receives a letter from his brother asking to meet him in an old Eastern European town. Once there the player finds the town strangely quiet - until he discovers dead bodies, frighten soldiers and scientists running away from the town. It is at this point that the player first meets a sinister shadow being that offers him help and guidance for his adventure. As well as his advice, the shadow figure gives the player his servant - the Demon, which the gamer can morph into at anytime and whose physical strength and magic attacks will play an important part of the adventure.
Many features of the game have changed since its last public showing - the combat system has been altered to involve more close combat fighting, with the removal of all the firearms (excluding the Hero's trusted sidearm) and the inclusion of mêlée weapons such as swords, maces and torches. The Demon's abilities have been increased to include several powerful magic spells that can be upgraded in the magic shops throughout the game - trading "Angel Tears" that the player can collect throughout his journey.
Shade: Wrath of Angels will take about 30 hours to complete - but also has multiple endings depending on your actions as you play the game - so it also has high replay value as the gamer has different options to chose from.

Reports: NFL, Referees Closing in On New Deal
According to several reports, the NFL and the union are close to a new deal that would allow the league's regular officials to return to work, possibly as early as this weekend.
ESPN reported Wednesday that "an agreement in principle is at hand," and The New York Times reported that the sides ""were closing in" on a way to end the impasse. ESPN cited unidentified sources from both sides; the Times cited a person briefed on the negotiations.
A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that the NFL and its locked-out officials were meeting Wednesday. The sides met for about 14 hours starting Tuesday into early Wednesday. They broke for a few hours before reconvening in an attempt to resolve the dispute and end the firestorm over the use of replacement refs.

Leading women's groups released the third in a series of scorecards rating the Bush Administration on key issues affecting women internationally. The issues covered in this report card include women and the emergency AIDS relief plan and women's rights in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The report card's grades for the Bush Administration's record regarding the rights of women in Afghanistan were an "A" for rhetoric and a "D" for reality. Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority, said, "Though women's rights are guaranteed in the Afghan Constitution, they are very fragile ... [The] provision in the Constitution stating that 'no law can be contrary to the beliefs and provisions of the sacred religion of Islam'...leaves women's rights vulnerable." In addition, Smeal stated, "The lack of security makes women's already fragile rights even weaker," pointing to the alarming reports that the Administration may arm reactionary militias to form a national guard and the insufficient number of peacekeeping troops throughout the country. Smeal urged the Bush Administration to immediately increase peacekeeping troops and reconstruction funding to a realistic level and to help establish a clear separation of church and state in Afghanistan.
The Bush Administration received an "A" for rhetoric and an "I" (Incomplete) for reality in regards to its work for women in Iraq. The scorecard notes that "women are under-represented in all decision making bodies controlled by the US Coalition Provisional Authority"; that the "US has failed to meet women's most basic need: personal security"; and that "without specific protections in the permanent constitution, Iraqi women's rights will be tenuous."
In addition, the Bush Administration's approach to the AIDS "is under-funded, favors ideological approaches at the expense of best scientific practices, and fails to support comprehensive access to lifesaving information and technologies," according to the Global Scorecard.
The Feminist Majority, Women's Environment and Development Organization (WEDO), Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE), and the Communications Consortium Media Center (CCMC) previously released scorecards on the Bush Administration in November and August.

I disagree with the article.
Mostly people don't care about operating systems, they want applications.
If the applications they need are already available on their current platform, why switch?
This was one of the reasons OS/2 died. There were no killer applications and the Windows compatibility layer was good enough that most software houses were using Win16 APIs instead.
Lets take Android as example, if tomorrow Google decides to replace Linux by another kernel, which
is possible since most applications are targeting Dalvik, the majority of customers won't care as long as their applications still work.
It is a bit like the games console. Most gamers buy the consoles to play a specific set of games, not the other way around.

AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn coach Gene Chizik was fired Sunday after the Tigers' rapid fall from a national champion to a winless Southeastern Conference season.
The Tigers endured the worst slide within two years of winning a national championship of any team since the Associated Press poll started in 1936 and hadn't lost this many games since going 0-10 in 1950. The decision came 17 months after Auburn gave Chizik a contract worth some $3.5 million annually through 2015 with a hefty buyout.
"After careful consideration and a thorough evaluation of our football program, I have recommended that Coach Chizik not be retained," Auburn Athletic Director Jay Jacobs said in a statement. "President (Jay) Gogue has accepted my recommendation. Earlier this morning, I informed Gene that he will not return as head coach."
The players were informed in a team meeting Sunday. Jacobs scheduled a news conference for later in the afternoon.
"I'm extremely disappointed with the way this season turned out and I apologize to the Auburn family and our team for what they have had to endure," Chizik said. "In my 27 years of coaching, I have gained an understanding of the high expectations in this profession. When expectations are not met, I understand changes must be made.
The Tigers went from 14-0 with a perfect SEC record with Cam Newton leading the offense in 2010 to 3-9 and 0-8, losing their final three league games by a combined 150-21. Auburn was blown out by Texas A&M (63-21) and Georgia (38-0) but the finale was even more painful for Tigers fans.
No. 2 Alabama cruised to a six-touchdown halftime lead en route to a 49-0 demolition Saturday that could easily have been much worse. It was still the second-most lopsided Iron Bowl in history, behind only the Tide's 55-0 win in 1948.
"While we experienced a tremendous low in 2012, I will always be proud of the incredible highs that we achieved, including three bowl victories, an SEC championship and a national championship," Chizik said.
He was 33-19 in four seasons and 15-17 in SEC games.
Auburn said the total buyout for Chizik and his assistant coaches is $11.09 million. Chizik's buyout will total $7.5 million and be paid in monthly installments for the next four years.
The deal calls for Chizik to make "reasonable" efforts to land a new job, with that salary deducted from the buyout.
Auburn tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen said players gave Chizik a standing ovation after the team meeting and that the coach was tough on himself. Lutzenkirchen also understands the reality of life in the SEC.
"Not winning a conference game isn't going to cut it wherever you are in this league," he said.
Defensive tackle Jeff Whitaker said, "It's kind of crazy right now. I had a special bond with Coach Chizik."
Chizik had sandwiched two 8-5 seasons around the national title, but never approached the success of 2010, when Newton won the Heisman Trophy. The Tigers were 7-17 in SEC games outside of 2010 during his tenure.
His hiring was criticized by some fans after Chizik went 5-19 in two seasons at Iowa State and lost the last 10 games of his first head coaching job.
Jacobs was heckled at the airport after making the hire.
Chizik had been defensive coordinator on unbeaten teams at Auburn and Texas.
A search committee comprised of former Heisman Trophy winners Pat Sullivan and Bo Jackson and former Tigers fullback Mac Crawford will assist Jacobs, the school said.
A transition year might have been expected.
Chizik had to replace the offensive and defensive coordinators after last season. Chizik made an ill-fated switch from Gus Malzahn's no-huddle, spread offense to a pro-style system with the hiring of former Temple offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler.
The Tigers struggled in the transition, partly because of shaky quarterback play. Auburn finally turned to freshman Jonathan Wallace - the season's third starter - for the final four games.
Auburn ranked at or near the bottom of the SEC in every major statistical category offensively and defensively.
Chizik's tenure was marred by off-the-field problems, too, to the extent that Chizik had employees of a private firm run curfew checks on players this season.
Four members of the 2010 national championship team were arrested on robbery charges in March 2011. Antonio Goodwin was convicted in April and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Dakota Mosley, Michael McNeil and Shaun Kitchens are awaiting trial.
Two-time 1,000-yard rusher Mike Dyer transferred to Arkansas State with Malzahn after being indefinitely suspended before the bowl game.
Freshman quarterback Zeke Pike was arrested in June for public intoxication and later dismissed from the team. Starting center Reese Dismukes was suspended for the opener against Clemson following a public intoxication arrest.
Auburn is also the subject of an NCAA investigation that includes the recruitment of Memphis running back Jovon Robinson.
Memphis City Schools said in August that the NCAA had contacted the school district regarding allegations involving a former Wooddale High School athlete, identified by the Memphis Commercial Appeal as Robinson. A school guidance counselor resigned after admitting to creating the fake transcript.
The Birmingham News reported on Wednesday that NCAA investigators had interviewed at least one assistant coach and several players during the week leading up to the Iron Bowl.
Chizik's contract includes a clause that it wouldn't owe the buyout money if he is fired for cause, including findings of major rules violations or significant or repetitive violations" involving him or his program.
Chizik and Auburn have weathered past NCAA scrutiny. The governing body closed investigations into the recruitment of Newton and allegations from four former players that they were paid thousands of dollars during their college careers.

Reese Witherspoon has got the glow — and the belly to boot!
On hand as the recipient of the Gene Siskel Film Center's Renaissance Award in Chicago on Saturday, the expectant actress — who dressed her bump up in a navy shift — graciously accepted her fair share of compliments, but admitted looks can be deceiving.
"Thanks, but frankly I'm feeling very round tonight," Witherspoon, 36, told reporters.
But despite her curvy figure, the mom-to-be reveals she is still trying her best to steer clear of certain foods — including Chicago's world-famous pizza!
"It's not easy," she says. "I'm always feeling like I'd like to eat everything in sight!"
Before the fall arrival of her first child with husband Jim Toth — the newlyweds are keeping quiet on baby's sex and possible name choices — Witherspoon has been busy wrapping up her latest film in Atlanta. Costarring actor Colin Firth, Devil's Knot centers around a 1993 crime.
"It happens in Arkansas, and it's what I'd say is a very American story," she shares, before adding, "And, after I finish that, I'm going to take a little time off — and go have a baby."

Fans of Fuzzy's Taco Shop might be surprised that the chain is celebrating its 10th anniversary in July. But they surely won't be surprised that the fun-loving restaurant has some special twists up its sleeves to mark the occasion.
On Monday, July 1, Fuzzy's is launching a month-long campaign in support of Share Our Strength's Dine Out For No Kid Hungry campaign to end childhood hunger in America. Customers at more than 65 participating restaurants nationwide will be invited to make a $1.00 donation to feed hungry kids. In return, Fuzzy's will provide a bounce-back voucher good for one free taco on the customer's next visit.
In addition, Fuzzy''s will encourage its social media followers to create short, fun, Fuzzy's-themed Vine videos. For every video uploaded to the Vine app or to Twitter with the hashtag #fuzzys4nokidhungry, Fuzzy's will donate 10 meals to the No Kid Hungry campaign.
The overall goal of the 10th Anniversary campaign is to raise $75,000 for the charity. Thanks to the strength of the No Kid Hungry network, every $1.00 donated equals 10 meals for hungry kids. This is the first year Fuzzy''s has supported the campaign, which is organized by Share Our Strength, a national not-for-profit organization that works to ensure that no child in America grows up hungry.
"We decided months ago that we would use our anniversary celebration to give back to the communities that have embraced Fuzzy''s so warmly over the last 10 years," says Chuck Bush, chief executive of Fuzzy''s Taco Shop. "We strongly support the exceptional work being done by Share Our Strength because we believe it's a travesty that any child in America would not know where his or her next meal is coming from. With our customers' help, this campaign will provide more than 750,000 meals for these kids. We think that's a goal everyone can get onboard with."
Fuzzy's menu features its original take on the Baja taco, which is often referred to as "addictive" thanks to the garlic sauce and feta cheese that makes it so distinctive. The restaurant also serves a wide array of handmade enchiladas, jumbo salads, nachos, burritos, and its signature chips and queso. Fuzzy's is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and most locations offer a selection of beer, wine, margaritas, and other specialty drinks.
With a knowing nod to Fuzzy's Fanatics everywhere, the restaurant is also rolling out a silver 10th Anniversary Souvenir Cup in July, paying homage to the iconic cups that have become synonymous with the brand. As with its regular souvenir cups, the limited-edition silver cups may be brought back to any Fuzzy''s for a $0.99 refill; but the collector's edition will only be available in-store during the month of July.
Fuzzy's will also be selling special anniversary T-shirts, some of which feature the original logo that appeared at the first Berry Street restaurant near the TCU campus in Fort Worth.
"Ten years ago, when my father Alan and I purchased Fuzzy''s, we made a promise: To focus our full attention on promptly and efficiently providing our guests with generous helpings of uniquely flavorful foods at a fair price," Bush says. "We''ve done our best to keep that promise every day since, so we''ll be thanking our customers for sticking with us for 10 great years, and hopefully for many many more to come."

TECHNICAL DETAILSA packer is a tool that compresses, encrypts or obfuscates executable files. Malware authors often use packers to conceal threats from detection by antivirus software. This heuristic detection is used to detect threats associated with multiple unknown threat families.
Files that are detected as Packed.Vmpbad!gen5 are considered malicious. We suggest that any files you believe are incorrectly detected as Packed.Vmpbad!gen5 be submitted to Symantec Security Response. For instructions on how to do this using Scan and Deliver, read Submit Virus Samples.
Symantec Security Response encourages all users and administrators to adhere to the following basic security "best practices":
- Use a firewall to block all incoming connections from the Internet to services that should not be publicly available. By default, you should deny all incoming connections and only allow services you explicitly want to offer to the outside world.
- Enforce a password policy. Complex passwords make it difficult to crack password files on compromised computers. This helps to prevent or limit damage when a computer is compromised.
- Ensure that programs and users of the computer use the lowest level of privileges necessary to complete a task. When prompted for a root or UAC password, ensure that the program asking for administration-level access is a legitimate application.
- Disable AutoPlay to prevent the automatic launching of executable files on network and removable drives, and disconnect the drives when not required. If write access is not required, enable read-only mode if the option is available.
- Turn off file sharing if not needed. If file sharing is required, use ACLs and password protection to limit access. Disable anonymous access to shared folders. Grant access only to user accounts with strong passwords to folders that must be shared.
- Turn off and remove unnecessary services. By default, many operating systems install auxiliary services that are not critical. These services are avenues of attack. If they are removed, threats have less avenues of attack.
- If a threat exploits one or more network services, disable, or block access to, those services until a patch is applied.
- Always keep your patch levels up-to-date, especially on computers that host public services and are accessible through the firewall, such as HTTP, FTP, mail, and DNS services.
- Configure your email server to block or remove email that contains file attachments that are commonly used to spread threats, such as .vbs, .bat, .exe, .pif and .scr files.
- Isolate compromised computers quickly to prevent threats from spreading further. Perform a forensic analysis and restore the computers using trusted media.
- Train employees not to open attachments unless they are expecting them. Also, do not execute software that is downloaded from the Internet unless it has been scanned for viruses. Simply visiting a compromised Web site can cause infection if certain browser vulnerabilities are not patched.
- If Bluetooth is not required for mobile devices, it should be turned off. If you require its use, ensure that the device's visibility is set to "Hidden" so that it cannot be scanned by other Bluetooth devices. If device pairing must be used, ensure that all devices are set to "Unauthorized", requiring authorization for each connection request. Do not accept applications that are unsigned or sent from unknown sources.
- For further information on the terms used in this document, please refer to the Security Response glossary.

the appearance of a man's balls when his pants are too high.
by kimmay April 20, 2005
Camel ball is like camel toe. It is a phenomenon that occurs when a man wears his pants too tight, and a ball, or balls, can be seen protruding from the pants.
Dude, that man's pants are way to tight. Check out his camel ball!
by Fensker April 27, 2006
When a males pants are too tight and up their crotch area, causing their balls to visibly split or to bulge to the side of the seam.
Usually visible when they are sitting down.
Usually visible when they are sitting down.
You're sitting on the train when the man sittin across from you is sitting with his legs open and as you glance up at his crotch area and notice a bulge on both sides of the middle seam. You have just witnessed Camel Balls!
by andthennothing February 19, 2009
pretty much the same definition for camel toe, but this one goes for a guy who wears his pants so tight that it seperates his balls, one ball being on each side of the seam in his pants below his zipper.

Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan Bring Their Talent to Finale of 'America's Got Talent'
The 'America's Got Talent' finale finished with a bang, as country stars Dierks Bentley and Luke Bryan took their talent to the show's stage on Wednesday (Sept. 18).
Country fans have been waiting for this ever since it was announced that there would be not one, but two fan-favorite country artists gracing the stage in New York City.
Bentley, who is booked to play the first-ever Tropical Nights event in Mexico, sang his latest laid-back single, 'I Hold On,' as a duet with AGT contestant Jimmy Rose. Both singers opted for a casual look, wearing denim and dark shirts, with their voices as the main focus of their performance.
Then, the ever-energetic Bryan took the stage to perform his latest hit, 'That's My Kind of Night,' giving a lively greeting of "What's up America?" before delving into his upbeat song, which has been the topic of much controversy as of late.
Still, Bryan immediately changed the ambiance of the venue, as the audience clapped along and the singer bounded from one side of the stage to the other, eventually making his way up the catwalk where he gave the judges a look at his famous hip-shaking moves (they seemed impressed).
Although Rose didn't end up winning, he received an encouraging message from Bentley via Twitter. "Bummed @JimmyRoseAGT didn't win tonight. Keep chasing the dream dude. You got something special," the message reads.
It was a rockin' night on the 'America's Got Talent' finale, and the two stars showed the world that country music is full of talent.

Superfruits: Back to Basics
You do not have to travel to faraway places to get your antioxidants.
Turn on the television, open your newspaper, pick up your favorite consumer magazine, check the web -- chances are there will be an article touting the health benefits of superfruits, fruit containing exceptional nutrients and antioxidants, often with a unique taste.
Nutritionists and moms know that all fruits -- fresh, frozen, canned or freeze-dried -- are good for you. But in 2005, marketers in the food & beverage industry coined the term superfruit to describe those fruits that were particularly high in nutrients, especially antioxidants.
Unfortunately, the term usually was used to describe exotic fruits, many of them new to American consumers. That's grossly unfair, as some traditional American crops deliver just as much in the way of antioxidants and other nutrients as fruits that travel halfway around the globe.
In these tough economic times, consumers are going back to basics and food options closer to home. As they do, surely they will appreciate the less heralded American-grown superfoods: blueberries, strawberries, cherries, blackberries, cranberries, grapes, plums, and raisins, which offer as many nutrients and antioxidants in their plump, compact shapes as their foreign cousins. And they offer product formulators the same opportunity to deliver potent antioxidants in new products.
Fight the free radicals
Antioxidants, important disease-fighting compounds, are believed to help prevent and repair the stress that comes from oxidation, a natural process that occurs during normal cell function. A small percentage of cells becomes damaged during oxidation and turns into free radicals, which can start a harmful chain reaction. Pollution, sunlight, smoking and alcohol also contribute to oxidation, and unchecked free radical activity has been linked to cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Antioxidants are nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and enzymes that combat free radicals. Berries – blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, raspberries, and strawberries -- contain the most antioxidant bang for the buck, according to a major study assessing antioxidant levels in 100 foods, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. In fact, just one cup of most berries provides all the disease-fighting antioxidants you need in a single day.
Developed by USDA, Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is the rating scale that measures antioxidant content in foods. USDA recommends eating foods that contain at least 3,000 ORAC units a day. While berries as a class are stars of the list, the actual leaders are spices: Ground cloves are No.1 with an ORAC value of 314,446, followed by sumac bran, ground cinnamon, sorghum bran and dried oregano. Exotic superfruit acai berry is No. 6 with a score of 161,400.
Among the classic American berries, wild blueberries are the overall ORAC winner: One cup has 13,427 antioxidant units, vitamins A and C, plus flavonoids (a type of antioxidant) querticin and anthocyanidin. That's more than four times the USDA's recommendation in just one cup. Cultivated blueberries have 6,552 in two-thirds of a cup and are equally vitamin-rich.
Cranberries are also antioxidant powerhouses (9,584), followed by black plums (6,259), blackberries (5,347), raspberries (4,882), strawberries (3,577) and cherries (3,365).
Dried versions of fruits contain good doses of antioxidants, as well. Half a cup packs quite a punch: prunes/dried plums (6,552), dates (3,895), figs (3,383), and raisins (3,037).
How does one get the most antioxidants from fruit? Even with a high antioxidant content, the body does not absorb all of it. The concept is bioavailability, explains Ronald Prior, a chemist and nutritionist with the USDA's Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center in Little Rock, Ark.

The completion rate drops back down, but it the job eventually finishes. I have a suspicion it's due to the way I have the system configured and I wanted to get some feedback as to what's the generally preferred architecture when installing Accumulo? Since you have the choice of installing hdfs, map/reduce, and tablet servers on any three, the general guideline is to install two per machine (data node and table server, or data node and map/reduce) as per the Hardware section in the Administration documentation. http://accumulo.apache.org/1.4/user_manual/Administration.html#Hardware Does that mean you have one large group of data nodes that's installed on the majority of the cluster, or are they somehow split into two groups such that map/reduce & hdfs runs on one set of nodes, and Accumulo tablet servers and hdfs uses another? I was wondering whether people would comment on what a working configuration might look like?

Academy of Fine Arts program benefits both ways
In teaching experiences, typically the student is the one who gains the most from lessons. But in the case of Wayland Baptist University's Academy of Fine Arts, often the benefit goes both ways.
A pre-collegiate and continuing education program of Wayland's Division of Fine Arts, the Academy offers classes to all ages and skill levels throughout the region. Courses are offered on a semester basis following the university calendar.
"The purpose for the academy is twofold: to provide a service for the community, for children and adults," said Pennye Golden, director of the academy. "The other side is that we are using juniors and seniors that are planning to teach in the areas we work with. We are helping them learn how to set up a private studio."
While Wayland's fine arts faculty supervise the academy offerings and even teach some of them, students are vital to the program and benefit often as much as their younger charges.
Sara Henry, a senior music major from Anahuac, can attest. She's been teaching in the Academy for three years, the first in piano and the last two in voice. Most of her students have been elementary-aged and beginners.
"One of the best learning experiences is to do it and teach it," she said. "I've just done a lot of what I've been taught over the years and if I have any questions or need help, the faculty is there to help."
Part of the challenge in teaching at the Academy, Henry said, is devising ways to teach musical fundamentals on a child's level, abandoning the formal terms she's learned as a college student.
"It's a learning experience just to have a child as a student, because you have to find ways to explain it to them more basically," she said. "I use a lot of my experiences from choir to come up with vocal exercises they can understand."
Henry said she's also become more motivated to keep to her own practice schedule since she's been on the other side of the vocal lesson.
As a longtime piano teacher, Jeannine Greene has seen the benefits of instruction through the academy as far back as its original inception in 1981 as the Community Music School. After being approached by the university to help start the program, she moved her private home studio to Wayland and began offering her private piano lessons through the school.
Over the years, she's seen hundreds of students pass through her doors, many coming as young children and continuing lessons for several years. A few, she said, have even learned from her from kindergarten through their senior year in high school.
Greene retired in May 2000 from full-time teaching and now carries a part-time load of about 20 students each semester. She's proud of what the Academy has become.
