Welcome to the fifth Summer School on Higher Education, organised for the second time as an international summer school. The theme of this year Summer School is "Theories and theoretical concepts in the higher education research process". The summer school addresses the big decisions faced by all PhD students in the course of their PhD: the choice of the theories and theoretical concepts and their match to the chosen methodologies. The keynote and the evening workshop, as well as the student papers may focus on any or all of following themes:
· Relationships between theories and data in higher education (HE) research
· Theories/concepts and methodological choices
· Process of choice of relevant theories and theoretical concepts in HE research
· Development of theories through empirical research
The summer school provides PhD students an opportunity to present and get feedback on their own research as well as to meet senior researchers and other PhD students from the field of higher education research. The format of the summer school is based on students presenting their own papers, commenting on papers by other students and receiving feedback also from senior colleagues. Each paper will be commented by a student discussant and senior discussant. The senior commentators will be recruited after we will receive abstracts from participants. The language of the summer school is English.
PhD students may receive credits for presenting a paper in the summer school. However, each student must negotiate this with their supervisor in advance. Recommended credit amount for participation is 3 ECTS credits.
Practical information:
The summer school is organised at the University of Jyväskylä, Ruusupuisto-building.
Participation in the summer school is free of charge. Accommodation is offered free of charge for one night in two person room in hotel Alba, close to the summer school venue.

The Good News
And at first I gave the answer representing what the gospel Jesus spread would have been: the idea that the time of the Kingdom was at hand to a people who had been yearning for it for centuries. By the way, I discuss this gospel in a youtube video here.
But then the person asked me "But what is the good news for me?" And that is an excellent question...what is the Good News today...I decided I'd give my answer here for anyone who cared.
Well, there are several pieces of good news for you:
First piece of good news:
God has declared through Christ that God's Kingdom is now open to all races. You, as a Gentile, no longer are excluded from God. You are no longer a second-class citizen simply because you do not follow the covenant given to Abraham's heirs. That's a HUGE piece of good news that people today simply take for granted. But consider the situation of 1st century Gentiles, many of whom were attracted and respected the Jewish faith but could not bring themselves to convert. The idea that the Jews no longer had God's favor cornered is a huge bit of Good news.
Second piece, related to the first:
God has declared through Christ a new covenant whose joiners receive the holy spirit as a "signing bonus." This is an INCREDIBLE piece of good news if you put yourself in the mind of a 1st century believer. The Jews had only rarely tastes the Holy Spirit, and only for short bits of time. This person or that person of old may have been "in the spirit" for a time, receiving special revelation...but now EVERYONE in God's community has access to it. UNBELIEVABLE. Note that the Spirit is what Christ refers to at the end of Luke when he says "That which was promised" and in John he says it can only come if he dies...and in Acts it is repeated referred to as "the gift"
Third piece of Good News:
God has declared through Jesus' resurrection what God intends to do to everyone later on. Jesus resurrection is proof that God raises the dead (and it also is a warning to those who think they can do anything they want in this life without consequences). Note Paul's words to Felix in Acts 24:14-21 .

There is a verse in the Bible that talks about Praying for the Dead, most people I know avoid it, I believe it is in John, I could be wrong, if you know what verse im talking about, would you mind sharing your thought on how that might relate to God raising the dead, and how in your book, you talk about praying for forgiveness of sins. If there is any relation.
Sorry this is so vague, but I am at work right now and so do not have access to any references.

Hi Glenn,
I'm not familiar with such a verse.
There is a verse in Paul's writings describing "Being baptized for the dead."
Could you track down the verse you have in mind? Thanks.

Heterodox christianity? Yes, I think so, I am reading the book, who really goes to hell? and though I haven't gotten through the whole thing I'd say it is a deviant from the norm. So, I'll ask you David, who are the ones that go to hell?
I have found at least one thought perplexing: "Believers pass the Judgment not due to their righteousness but
because God has forgiven their sin." Now, you didn't say "other believers" nor "believers other than myself" so are you saying that you aren't one? Yet, throughout the parts I've read you speak as though you also are a believer.
That statement was in the context of believers judging others. And, I have to say that I am seeing lots of judging on your part also. So, if some can't how is that you can?
- November 26, 2010 at 4:17 PM
"It is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous." Rom. 2:13
"For when there is a change of the priesthood it creates the necessary action of making a change of the law also." Heb. 7:12
A law has been added to the law that has made the crucifixion of Jesus an accountable sin for all.
"The law was added so that the trespass of Jesus' murder has increased as an accountable sin directly to God." Rom. 5:20 para
Therefore the only Way into the kingdom of God is by the faith of confessing directly to God that you are sorry Jesus' life was lost by bloodshed when he was crucified. And be baptized into this Way for the forgiveness of past sins. However if you don't obey God this Way you will commit a sin that is not forgivable. Since Jesus cannot be crucified again there will not be any more changes made to the law as a intercession for your benefit. This, my friend, is the gospel of God.

Theodore, I don't see the connection between the verses you posted and the conclusion you have made.
- December 9, 2010 at 9:15 AM
- David Rudel said...
John P.,
Regarding the question "who goes to hell," please look at chapter 6.
Regarding the piece you quoted...I rather positive I was not claiming that...perhaps I was paraphrasing other people's claims?
In any event, you appear to have confused "judging" as in "Condemning individuals for their deeds" with "judging" as "evaluating the validity of someone's claim."
There is absolutely nothing wrong with critiquing the claims of other Christians, nor is there anything wrong with discussing the errors of a sect. Paul certainly "Judged other Christians" if you are using the term in a very loose sense.

don't have experience but i've read that when you notify the school your leaving, they cancel your loans there, and then you have to re-apply for the loans with the new school based on their financial statement for you. i wouldn't imagine you could just have one school send money to the other since theyre probably different costs.
Depending on your credit situation, it could be a walk in the park or a root canal. If your credit is good, applying and getting approved can take about an hour, the only thing you would be waiting on is for your school to certify the loan (in other words telling the lender the exact amount that you are entitled to, so you dont borrow more than you're allowed to). The certification process depends on the school. Some are really good, 2-3 days, some are snails, 7-14 days. After that, you can sleep tight, your money will be arriving at school and you'll probably get it the first week of classes.If you have any blemish on your credit, you either have to reapply with a co-signer or prove that the dark spot on your credit has been corrected by providing documentation( I had to do that) and my loan approval took about a week to go through. Now thats a root canal considering that you've spent all this time applying to schools, getting rejected/accepted and you're now faced with this new hurdle. I didnt need a co-signer though, thank God!

Guidelines For New Articulation Requests
A request for articulation may come from many sources: an intermediate or local school district, an individual instructor, community college staff, or an employer interested in assisting a young co-op or apprenticeship student.
There are three phases to the articulation process:
Phase I - Sign Articulation Agreements
Discuss and agree to the terms, requirements, and responsibilities for articulation of courses/programs. This involves the school district/intermediate school district/regional education service agency and LCC culminating in a formal signing by both agencies.
Phase II - Complete Articulation Task List
Align specific courses. This involves high school/intermediate school/regional education service agency and district instructors and community college faculty meeting to review and discuss specific knowledge content, objectives, and competencies required of students prior to earning articulated credits from LCC. Once completed, it establishes the standard to which students are evaluated and awarded articulated credit. The credit will be transcripted as "Transfer Credit (TR)" with no grade.
Phase III - Complete Student Articulation Application
Secondary personnel need to fill out a Student Articulation Application for all students who meet 80% of the course outcomes at 80% proficiency. The secondary instructor submits form to K-12 Relations Office in order for articulated credit to be awarded. Once the student is admitted to LCC and enrolls in a course, the articulated credits will be awarded to the student and will appear on his/her college transcript.

This week, I'm serving up a bit more of a traditional salad. We eat A LOT of salad in our house and so it's always nice to find new combinations of flavors and ingredients to keep the rotation fresh. This week's salad has sweet pear, salty blue cheese, and tangy lemon vinaigrette topped with a surprise sweet caramelized walnut. It couldn't be much easier to make, but definitely elevates your daily salad a notch or two.
You will need:
- olive oil
- lemon
- pear
- blue cheese crumbles
- walnuts
- salad greens
- (not pictured) butter and brown sugar
Wash and place salad greens in bowl.
Place in bowl with greens and cheese. If you are plating individual salads, you could arrange pear slices on top of greens afterwards. Set aside.
To make the lemon vinaigrette:
Mix 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice with 4 1/2 tablespoons olive oil.
Set aside.
To make the caramelized walnuts, you will need:
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Place all ingredients into a skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
When butter and sugar have melted and coated the walnuts, spread them on a sheet of waxed paper to cool (and try not to eat them all!).
When walnuts have cooled, toss with remainder of salad and dressing. Alternatively, you can toss salad greens, blue cheese and dressing only. Then, plate the salad and garnish with the pear and walnuts.
Enjoy surprising your friends and family with this unassuming yet plethora-of-tastes salad.

DVD Review: Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008)
The two-DVD set includes the film with an optional audio track with Director Abbas Tyrewala's commentary, which is fun and includes a lot of insight on the film. There's an interesting admission by Abbas of the inception of the plot stemming from the desire to have a filmi hero lead a climax at the airport, while poking fun at the ritual by arriving on horseback!
You've seen the film, of course. I like it more now than when I wrote my little review. Here are reviews by Ajnabi, Bhargav, Darshit, Nida, Pitu Sultan, and Shweta. Filmi Girl and Veracious know they're in the minority ;) And Sita-ji reminds us, as she often does, of the more important things in life and how films inherently capture them.
The second DVD is packed with special features, beginning with two songs that did not make the final edit (I think, for the better) -- Jaane Tu Meri Kya Hai (translation) and Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai (translation). The former was filmed with Imran Khan in a desert, which is where only Genelia D'Souza can get away with wearing this...
...and the latter, which was also the subject of this discussion initiated by Aamir, and followed by this experiment. I like this song more, if not for a cool music video, for a rather glamorous Genelia looking amazing (as always).
There's a 90-minute long documentary of sorts, which is where we get input from almost everyone from the cast and many from the crew. Abbas confesses his concerns with proving his competence to Aamir. Producer Mansoor Khan talks about the music. A. R. Rahman discusses how the immensely popular Pappu Can't Dance wasn't even part of the initial soundtrack. Aamir talks of the only time he made it to the sets. Genelia talks of turning lemon into lemonade. And hair treatment involving mineral water!
There's a lot more to Abbas Tyrewala that is a lot more fun and just plain interesting, that we learn from others, including from Naseeruddin Shah and Paresh Rawal. Abbas specifically mentions what he wrote in a comment to this post on Nazrein Milaana (it's him!). Kudos to Nirav Mehta (Jiggy) for composing and singing a hilarious Gujarati version of this song. It went like, "Dil, kyaare gandu, kyaare chhe nek bandu," and I'm sure if you understand the language, you'll find it very funny.
There's nothing funny about Genelia being off-screen who she is in the film. She really is. Awesome.
The rest of the gang is featured prominently, and let me tell you, the 'freak out steps' and especially 'Pappu Dance' are well-integrated into the vocabulary of my fellow clubbing friends ;) Aamir's on the sets of Ghajini here:
This is also where we learn some about Prateik Babbar and this weird look:
Abbas, *what* in the world are you doing, sir? :D
Production stills include some very cool ones. Sample this:
And this:
On to my favorite bit, the video from the premiere. (Here's a related video of the event, not from the DVD). Now, I realize I might be going overboard with the upcoming screenshots, but can you blame me when Juhi Chawla (haaye Allah!) is in the house?
Or when Tabu graces everyone with her presence?
Or when Sridevi is there too?
Or when Sonam Kapoor walks in?
Raveena Tandon!
Dia Mirza.
Darsheel Safary from Taare (2007) is going to star in an Aamir Khan Productions film again, some day.
Ashutosh Gowariker, of course.
A. R. Rahman is just cool, man.
Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir in 2008, versus Amitabh and Aamir in 1988 in that Filmfare Awards video in the QSQT post.
Only Style Bhai (ONLY him) can show up in jeans...
...and still fit right in.
Pooja Bedi and Aamir go back a long way.
And you must see and hear this segment of the footage to believe how many were present at the foot of this theater in Nagpur.
And finally...there's an interview of Aamir and Imran to CNN-IBN, in which we see this picture of Imran.
That yellow sword is of none other than He-Man!!! This sword was awesome. Available only in the United Kingdom under a limited edition line, it had the sound that typically followed 'I have the power' in the He-Man ATMOTU series in the mid-1980s (yes, the one with Battle Cat!), and included blue and red flashing lights at the press of a button. Now, please don't ask me how I know (or remember). Some things are too precious to hold on to for life. For everything else, there's...oh well, I'm not about to market any brand other than AKP, so adios, and have a great start to your week, everyone! I'll go have some bhel puri while the weekend lasts ;)
Consider this UTV release a must-have if you enjoyed the film. I wish they'd included a compilation of highlights from the background score with it (as they did with TZP), because that unsung hero of the film is a masterpiece in its own right. We'll just have to make do with the soundtrack.
DVD rating: 4/5 (Excellent!)
Helps to have a fine film to put onto disc.

I remember going to see this in the theatre..My freinds have to literally be dragged to see an indian movie with me and i sit in fear because if they dont love it, they give me HELL. Fortunately, they came out smiling from this one and i could feel proud of myself for picking wisely. I had no expectations from jaane tu.. but i think it will remain a favorite. I loveeeeeeeeeeeee the airport scene and the scene where he goes to meet meow's parents for a job/proposal.

Thanks a lot for the review. Just now I found Abbas had commented in ur post. Wow ! Ooh, and that 'Jiggy' song is just so hilarious. Man, are you in favor of another movie with same characters?? Not a sequel. But kinda movie series. They would be fantastic. And that too, with addition of Mala !!
Thanks for the linklove man.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Genelia ;D
'HeMan-And the masters of the universe...' is echoing in my mind right now !! That sword is really extra precious thing. I too loved that time when it was aired on good old DD. And I remember getting frightened by Skeleton.
And yeah, I mentioned this earlier too. That Background score CD would be a must have.
- Monday, April 06, 2009
This all reminds me that I was given the boxed special edition set with this dvd last Christmas. And I haven't watch disc two yet! What a waste, I must get to it immediately. I look forward to seeing what they did with those songs that were dropped from the final edit, because one of them is an big favourite of mine. It's the 'mera' one rather than the 'meri' one because the singer is Sukhwinder Singh. Must put it on ... right away!

Saw this twice in the theater here in Chicago, paisa vasool both times. LOVED it! I have the dvd and funnily, 'Jane tu mera kya hai' (female) is my fave song in the album, yes more than 'Aditi'. And I WANT that kitten that Abbas has, GIMME!

What a great review of the DVD! Thank you for posting all those screencaps!
I giggled at Style Bhai ;D and that picture of Imran with the sword is precious...
I wish I had liked the film more - I enjoyed the music and the performances were good. Just something didn't fit quite right for me. Oh well!

JJC: Good going with your friends at the cinema! Anything from Aamir Khan Productions seems to be a safe bet. I can't wait to Delhi Belly (also starring Imran). The airport scene here is real fun, suspension of disbelief in all its glory, and that job/proposal scene is extremely well executed too, absolutely agree. I like that Aditi's parents often played Scrabble. If I live long enough, I'd probably be doing that some day, LOL.
Darshit: That song by Jiggy gets better. "Dil nu bharoso, kevi reete koi kare?", ROTFL. It'd be nice to have them all under Jaane Tu, I can't imagine them doing something else together, although I wouldn't complain about it. Mala's addition would be fun. Besides, they need someone opposite Shaleen, and I'm volunteering! ;) Genelia is just amazing throughout. I hope we see more of her, and soon!
I saw the new He-Man from earlier this decade (on Cartoon Network), and it's not even close to the class of the older one. I wish I'd saved my action figures. :'( Skeletor is my Mogambo equivalent of a legend. Too cool.
And if not for the kick-butt background score, Jaane Tu would have been a completely different movie, we agree 100%!

Joss: We seem to have taken our time with it, which is not bad as long as we get to it ;) I hope you enjoy the second DVD, and that Sukhwinder song. What I should have mentioned in the post is the quality of the deleted scenes, which was very good as well. So definitely be on the lookout.
Pitu: I was quite surprised at how well 'Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai' was shot. It's good you agree with my view, although I know for entirely different reasons, LOL. There's this deleted scene involving a kitten which I think would have been great in the film, and if you haven't seen it, definitely check it out!
Filmi Girl! You're very welcome. I draw inspiration from some of your posts with pictures, it's always fun to see our favorite stars at an event. Style Bhai rocks. :) Each of us probably has this set of movies, responses to which we categorize as 'unexplained', that's what makes it all so complex! And so beautiful!
- Monday, April 06, 2009
Really excellent review of the DVD.
I must say, I enjoyed most the director's commentary by Abbas... Hilarious... Especially all those funny details about the man with the ears...
By viewing the He-Man picture my eyes seem to wander to the psychedelic 70s wallpaper... My parents had almost the same... :-)
I think the music of JTYJN is very good. My favourite song is Nazrein milaana nazrein churaana... I like the laidback feeling... and the interaction within the group of friends. And of course it bears one of my favourite AK movies in its lyrics... :-)
All the best

Kristine, thanks for stopping by and for your comment. The commentary throughout was engaging, I really enjoyed it.
I love the music to Jaane Tu. I think it's at least in the top two of 2008, and I'm torn between 'Nazrein Milaana' and 'Kahin Toh Hogi' as the favorite, so I'll say I love them both. That reference in the former is well done, right. I hope you get a chance to check out this post :)

Excellent review! Have to get hold of the DVD. I think I'll enjoy the movie much more now! :D
PS Thanks for including my little review in the post. My review was pathetic actually, I wasn't really writing seriously then. lol.

- theBollywoodFan said...
Thanks for encouraging me to write about it, Bhargav :) I definitely like the movie more today than I did last July, and that's saying something. Hopefully you'll find it that way too. Any time on the link, your point on the airport climax is very valid, and Abbas Tyrewala has addressed this concern in his commentary, so be on the lookout for that!

Aww, this was so cool to read! :) Thanks for including it...I don't own this DVD, so this was a real treat!
I've got to find that video with Genelia and Imran in the desert...heading over to YouTube right now...
Yay for He-Man! I loved She-Ra myself..the whole long lost twin bro/twin sis was awesome, very 70s Bollywood, don't you think?
- Friday, April 10, 2009
Excellent review, sir.
- Friday, April 10, 2009
- theBollywoodFan said...
Nida: I'd be curious to know what you think of that song. I'm glad it wasn't included. Speaking of He-Man and She-Ra, did you ever see the animated film 'The Secret of the Sword'? I used to live in Eternia for the most part, but it was an interesting dive into Etheria at the time, must say. Besides, since you bring up the Bollywood connection, there's a very specific scene in Ghajini that reminds me of He-Man at the mercy of Hordak (and the Evil Horde!). And we must definitely be around the same age to even have this discussion, LOL.
Shreya: Thank you, ji! And please, no 'sir' :)

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was my last Hindi Film in India (I watched Dark Knight after that), and I loved it. Imraan is definitely the new torchbearer of the Khan legacy, and the music by Rahman is spellbinding as usual. I am still not over Kabhi Kabhi Aditi, but my personal favorite is the Jazz influenced title track.
Here's my review: http://oneknightstands.net/movie-review-jaane-tu-ya-jaane-naa/
Would love to know your thoughts on it.

- Nida said...
I loved"The Secret of the Sword!" We should do a watchalong sometime:) Havent' seen it in ages....
Getting back to JTYJN, I do like this song, but wasn't crazy about the picturization...it could have worked for me had it been played as a background piece at some point in the film. Genelia looks beautiful, but this picturization reminds me more of her character in "Bommarillu" than in JTYJN.
- Monday, April 13, 2009
- theBollywoodFan said...
Sujoy: Thanks for stopping by, and I do envy you for having seen this at a theater in India! Imran's beginnings sure are interesting. I really liked the songs, here's a post on the jazz tune you refer to. I'll definitely look forward to checking out your blog, hopefully this weekend once work is out of the system for more than eight hours at a stretch, LOL.
Nida: I thought so!!! I haven't seen it in ages either, but I can't forget the opening scene with the restaurant and the harp, and the scene in which He-Man's energy is drained by this machine that looks like a telephone booth without the telephone (at least that's how I remember it). Anyway, back to Jaane Tu...I don't think the majority of the target audience of Jaane Tu have seen Bommarillu, but I do agree with you. Genelia is great in any way, so I'll always be on the 'we want more' wagon :)

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – After a week of rest, the Georgia College golf team stayed put in the No. 4 slot in the Division II Regional Golf Rankings. GC Golf is a member of the Southeast Region.
The Bobcats are behind fellow Peach Belt Conference (PBC) members USC Aiken and Columbus State University, ranked No. 1 and No. 3 respectively. Belmont Abbey College comes in at No. 2 in the latest rankings. Three more PBC teams made the top 10, with Armstrong at No. 4, Georgia Southwestern State University at No. 7, and Clayton State University coming in at No. 10. Filling in the gaps is No. 6 Barton College, Mount Olive College at No. 8, followed by No. 9 Erskine College
The top seven teams of each region poll get an automatic bid into the regional tournament. Each conference champion gets a berth in the regional tournament.

Made with organic and certified fair trade ingredients, packaged in a 100% post-consumer recycled bottle. All-One!
Warm, comforting and slightly sweet - like marzipan or amaretto! Dr Bronner's Citrus Orange Pure-Castile Liquid Soap is concentrated, biodegradable, versatile and effective.
What separates Dr Bronner's soap from the rest
- Unlike most commercial soapmakers, who distill the glycerin out of their soaps to sell separately, they retain it in their soaps for its superb moisturizing qualities.
- They use natural vitamin E from sunflower seeds and citric acid from fermented tapioca to protect freshness.
- They do not add any chelating agents, dyes, whiteners or synthetic fragrances.
- They use pure and powerful high-quality certified organic essential oils.
- Their liquid soaps are three times more concentrated than most so-called "liquid soaps" on the market, and they are only a few percent away from being a solid, which saves on
- ackaging materials.
- Their soaps are a superb value, costing less than less-concentrated, inferior detergent body-wash "liquid soaps."
- Their soaps are most popular for at-home washing, but they are also the soap of choice for many campers and hikers, as they are biodegradable and nature-friendly.
- And lastly they also use better packaging; their plastic cylinder bottles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic.

Jolt Awards: Mobile Development Tools, March 04, 2014 The best tools for the nuts-and-bolts of building mobile apps.
Jolt Productivity Award: PhoneGap
The framework is open sourced as Apache Cordova and it allows you to make the necessary calls to control each specific platform and device capability from JavaScript. The detailed documentation for each supported platform simplifies the process of targeting multiple platforms from a single source. In fact, other mobile HTML frameworks (such as Sencha, described earlier) are beginning to include support for Apache Cordova.
One of the most painful parts of creating native apps for different platforms is the need to execute multiple (and different) build processes that require you to maintain diverse native SDKs. The PhoneGap Build service removes this headache by offering a cloud-based build service, which increases productivity when you need to deliver updates to multiple platforms. If you prefer, of course, you can also install each necessary SDK and development environment to perform the conversion on your local machines.
If you want to take full advantage of each platform, you will need to learn how the framework allows you to interact with each feature but you will be able to make the necessary calls without leaving JavaScript. The PhoneGap command-line tool simplifies the process of creating new projects, adding target platforms, building, emulating, and deploying apps. If you feel comfortable with the Node.js command-line utilities, you will easily understand how to work with the PhoneGap command-line tool.
Adobe PhoneGap was one of the first products to make it possible for Web developers to create complex native apps for multiple platforms without needing to learn the specific details of each SDK. This framework still provides everything a Web developer requires to increase productivity in the very complex mobile world.

QX3 Time-Lapse Movie Gallery
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6)
A remarkably versatile vitamin, pyridoxine is involved in numerous biochemical reactions of intermediary metabolism. Common sources of pyridoxine are bananas, carrots, nuts, rice, fish, soybeans, and wheat germ. When recrystallized from the melt, pyridoxine will slowly crystallize, forming beautiful spherulites. The time-lapse movie was made using a modified version of the Intel Play QX3 microscope equipped for polarized light illumination with a full-wave (first order) retardation plate.

This season, cotton producers from Texas to the Carolinas faced historic and extreme weather patterns that threatened yields and production. Despite record abandonment of the crop in Texas and flooding in the South, much of U.S. crop, especially outside of Texas, held up fairly well, a tribute to the cotton plant's resiliency. Soon, another harvest season will be in the rear view mirror, and planning for next season will begin. Here's an early look at what's new in cotton seed and technology for 2012 for the Mid-South, Southeast and Southwest regions. We'll provide more detail on new varieties in the spring.

Plant growth regulators should be considered for in-season plant growth patterns. It is a medium-tall variety averaging about 40 inches in height. This variety has small to medium sized bolls averaging about 4.5 grams. DG 2595 has shown very good storm resistance. It has also shown good tolerance to Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt. Overall in all trials, gin turnout has ranged from 38-42 percent, fiber uniformity has ranged from 82-85 percent, micronaire has ranged from 4.7 to 5.0, fiber length has ranged from 1.13 to 1.17 inches, and fiber strength has ranged from 28 to 31 grams per tex.
Overall plant performance of this variety was determined to be primarily adaptable to the Southwest cotton-growing regions and especiallyon sand to silt loam soils under well managed production systems. The best lint yield responses occur in the Southwest regions. Lint yield analysis has shown that the variety is most stable when grown in irrigated environments. Dryland production is discouraged. Limited data has show favorable yield responses on specific clay soil series. No-till production practices also compliment this variety. DG 2595 responds very well to irrigation for enhanced yields in other cotton growing regions.

Monsanto's Deltapine brand
Farmer demand is expected to be strong in 2012 for both DP 1133 B2RF and DP 1137 B2RF, two Deltapine Class of 11 cotton varieties launched on a limited basis in 2011 and showing strong yield potential this fall.
DP 1133 B2RFis a mid-maturity variety with smooth leaves that offers a great combination of yield potential and fiber quality for the lower Mid-South and east and central Texas markets. When planted in vigorous growing conditions, DP 1133 B2RF is a bushy-type plant that will need PGR applications beginning at the 8- to 10-node stage. It is typically easy to manage with PGRs. The plant height is similar to DP 0912 B2RF, and it appears to handle stress conditions very well.
DP1137 B2RFis a mid-maturity variety with smooth leaves that has demonstrated outstanding yield potential for dryland situations in the upper Southeast, the dryland acres of north Alabama and the dryland hills of the Mid-South. This variety has excellent early-season vigor when planted in good growing conditions, but its best fit is the droughty regions of the Carolinas and north Alabama. Under stress conditions, DP 1137 B2RF can develop desired stalk size and produce outstanding yield. It will need some moderate to heavy PGR management early in its growing stage if good growing conditions occur.
The new Deltapine Class of 12 cotton varieties will be announced in December. The Deltapine Class of 12 variety candidates were grown and evaluated in the New Product Evaluator (NPE) trials across the U.S. Cotton Belt this season.
"We're excited about the improvements we see from the Class of 12 candidates," said Dave Albers, U.S. cotton germplasm manager. "These candidates offer potential for some real yield and fiber quality improvements over current commercial lines."

Seed Source Genetics
Seed Source Genetics is offering two new cotton varieties for the Mid-South, Southeast and Southwest in 2012. Seed-Source Genetics is a family owned corporation that was formed in December of 2004. It purchased the inventory and marketing rights of the cold tolerant cotton from Douglass King Seed Company of San Antonio, Texas. The descriptions are provided by the seed company.
SSG UA 03is an early, okra leaf, high yield picker-type variety with a staple length of 36-39, micronaire, 4.2-4.5, and strength, 31-33 grams per tex. The variety will be available in limited quantities.
SSG UA 22 is a mid-early, semi-smooth, high yield picker-type variety with a staple length of 36-39, micronaire, 4.0-4.5 and strength, 31-33 grams per tex. The variety will be available in limited quantities.
Other varieties the company has available in ample quantities include
SSG HQ110CT, an early variety, SSG HQ210CT, a mid-early variety, SSG HQ211CT, a mid-early, SSG HQ212CT, a mid-early, SSG CT310CT, a mid-maturity and SST CT Linwood, a mid-early, hairy-leaf variety.
Public breeding programs
University of Georgia
GA 230is a conventional, full-season cotton variety with an excellent staple length (39-41), strength (29-33), and mic (mid-4) package. In regions with longer growing seasons, it is very competitive with the best varieties in yield; it can have a very strong top crop. GA 230 yields relatively better in dryland conditions. It is smooth-leaf and has a normal, upright growth habit that may need PGRs to control growth.

John McCain is going back to the Senate! He will probably need to bring his Senatorial ID with him, as he's been gone so long that nobody will recognize him. Just for the record, McCain has not actually cast a ballot in the Senate since April 8th, and has been the most absent senator, missing 412 of the 643 votes since January 2007. Cancel the debate -- the economy needs me now!!
Letterman is devastating:
"You don't suspend your campaign. This doesn't smell right. This isn't the way a tested hero behaves." And he joked: "I think someone's putting something in his metamucil."Obama snarks that as President, sometimes you have to be able to do two things at once. Like walk and chew gum. (my words)
"He can't run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sara Palin. Where is she?"
"What are you going to do if you're elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We've got a guy like that now!"
According to TPM, the deal is 98% done, and it looks pretty good -- the Treasury capitulated on all the major points. Taxpayers may well get value for their dollars in a buy-out, rather than a bailout. McCain, I infer, is just jetting in to grandstand and try to claim the credit.
Desperate, and sad.

Some house cleaning items...
1. A couple of days ago, I wrote about a really cool baby stuff giveaway hosted by Jodi Kendall. The Baby Stuff Giveaway ends TONIGHT at 11:59pm. If you haven't had a chance to enter, please enter on her website. I'm giving away these 3 Josh & Teo Toy leashes.
2. For the month of August, my ETSY shop will be stocked mainly with ready to ship items and toy leashes. I have temporarily removed the mini wallets, wrist wallets, and stroller bags but will bring them back in September. Toddler Backpacks are available for order but they won't be shipping until the 3rd week of September. I hope to be seeing a lot of the beach over the next couple of weeks.
I'm going to be taking some time off in August to enjoy the rest of the summer with my family. Joshie starts J/K in September and I want to spend as much time with him before he is in school for the next 20+ years. The craziness has already begun as I have been buying a ton of uniform clothes already.
It's July 31 but summer is still here!

5 Ways to Use the Internet for Self-Improvement
For most, the Internet has become a ubiquitous part of daily life. Many people work online all day and then spend evenings streaming movies. With the convenience of online banking, fewer customers step inside their local banks, while millions of shoppers make purchases without leaving home.

To the editor:
You can tell it is election time when the daily mail brings numerous expensive promotional political mailers soliciting your vote. A great deal of money is spent on these mailings, money which could be better directed to help worthwhile local projects.
One of the mailers I received caught my eye before it hit the trash can because of the conflicting message. The political candidate claims that he creates jobs for Levy County; however, the expensive political mailer was printed at a commercial printing company downstate in Pinellas County. No jobs for Levy County there.
The candidate also claims he will "put Levy first" but then used the bulk mailing permit from the Pinellas County printing company to mail his promotion material from a St. Petersburg post office. Didn't put Levy County first there.
Another claim by the candidate is "Levy Sensibility" and a common sense approach to doing business. However, if you view this candidate's expenditures and contributions reports filed with the Supervisor of Elections and available to voters online at, the reports are not current with the candidate's election activities. No transparency there.
The age in which we live provides voters with many resources to assist us in making informed decisions about the persons we want to lead our government. I ask that you look beyond the messages on the fancy postcards when deciding how to cast your vote.

Teachers celebrated during All-Star festivities
MINNEAPOLIS -- Thirty of the best educators in North America, representing every Major League Baseball team, were introduced along with players on the field and serenaded by Broadway star Idina Menzel before the start of Tuesday's 85th All-Star Game at Target Field.
These were the winners of the Target Presents People All-Star Teachers campaign, celebrating remarkable current and retired teachers who make an impact on the lives of their students and communities. The full list of winners can be found at AllStarTeachers.com.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Thirty of the best educators in North America, representing every Major League Baseball team, were introduced along with players on the field and serenaded by Broadway star Idina Menzel before the start of Tuesday's 85th All-Star Game at Target Field.
These were the winners of the Target Presents People All-Star Teachers campaign, celebrating remarkable current and retired teachers who make an impact on the lives of their students and communities. The full list of winners can be found at AllStarTeachers.com.
It was even more fitting, perhaps, when you consider that this was also the farewell All-Star Game for a player from Kalamazoo, Mich., who was raised by two teachers. And coincidentally, the Tigers' winner was Michael Sinclair, who has spent the last three decades teaching at the Kalamazoo Area Math and Science Center, near where Derek Jeter was brought up.
"That was over the top!" Sinclair exuded as he and others reached the luxury suites along the first-base side, where they proceeded to watch the game and take pictures with Menzel and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden. "I am just blown away. It's so overwhelming. In front of all these amazing fans, national television -- it's such a moment of pride and a thrill for my kids, my students, my family. We're just a small part of this, but oh man, it's amazing."
"This has been incredible," said Blake Smith, who represented the Angels as a teacher at Valley High School in Santa Ana, Calif., having started his education career as a maintenance man working for the blind. "This is just the culminating event of everything. One of the most incredible moments of my life was being on that field, and every inch of my body was tingling when the Thunderbirds flew over. It does not get better than this. I'm happy to be a teacher."
Smith could not let it go. Earlier in the day as they rehearsed on the field with Menzel, he broke from the ranks to get a selfie with the singer of the hit song "Let It Go" from the movie "Frozen." Then as she walked in the door of the suite, they recognized each other and he asked if she would say "Hi" to his students via video on his mobile phone.
What resulted is a 40-second video and his students will get their own Menzel version just for them. This is the type of teacher that fans just voted as the best in America, times 30.
"She was very gracious and she was able to say "Hi" to my students and just make their day by singing a little bit of Frozen's 'Let It Go,'" Smith said. "I get to see them on Thursday. I teach summer school for severely disabled students, so they're probably waiting to hear about everything and seeing all the photos."
The teachers were nominated from among thousands of candidates, and fans voted at AllStarTeachers.com to decide on a winner for each club. Each winner was allowed to bring a companion to All-Star Week, where they were given the royal treatment. They were introduced during the press conference Monday to announce All-Star lineups, and they rode in a pair of trolleys during the 10th annual All-Star Game Red Carpet Parade presented by Chevy.
For each of them, the same common theme emerged: They felt a tad awkward because of the humble nature of their profession. It is about helping others grow as people. And they also shared one other thing: They "let it go" and basked in the attention, happy and proud to show off their calling.
"They probably don't get enough credit," Royals All-Star outfielder Alex Gordon said. "For what they do for our nation as far as teaching our young kids at school, this is good. It's good recognition and I'm glad to be a part of it."
"That was a beautiful scene," said Laysha Ward, president of community relations for Minneapolis-based Target, as the 30 teachers mingled around her and watched Jeter's All-Star grand finale in person. "I think a lot of people were moved by that. It was so nice to see them be appreciated in this way."
Neil Johnson retired in June from Shakopee (Minn.) High School, after 39 years of teaching. Calculus and softball coaching have been his passion, and in 2008 he started a pilot program that allowed calculus students to receive credit from the University of Minnesota. He gets emotional when he talks about what it has meant to teach so many students for so many years.
"It's a bit overwhelming," he said. "There are a lot of teachers in the state of Minnesota who easily could have qualified for this. I retired this year and it's kind of icing on the cake for my walking away. It's quite an honor."
The teachers had the honor on this night.
"It's funny, we go to work every day and you do the things that you do because it's important and you enjoy doing it, and it's what you know how to do best," said Regina Kinasz, a Cubs fan who teaches math at St. Emily Elementary School in Mt. Prospect, Ill.
"You don't look for the adulation like this. I'm finding it very humbling. I feel like not really very deserving. It doesn't seem like it's right. But it's kind of exciting, though, for people to say, 'You know, what you're doing really makes a difference.' ... It's beyond belief."

Home ... Who We Are ... Position Statements ... Life in the Community ... Health Care
All people, including people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD)1, should have timely access to high quality, comprehensive, accessible, affordable, appropriate health care that meets their individual needs, maximizes health, well-being and function, and increases independence and community participation.
The health care system must be aligned to principles of nondiscrimination, comprehensiveness, continuity, appropriateness, and equity. Both comprehensive public and private health insurance must provide for necessary health care without regard to the nature or severity of disability, pre-existing conditions, or other health status.
Health can be understood broadly as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or disability. The term "health care" encompasses physical, mental, behavioral, vision, hearing, oral and dental health care, substance abuse and addiction services, and services and supports that assist in attaining, maintaining, and improving skills, function, and community participation.
The current health care system is fragmented and does not provide uniform access to a comprehensive array of health services and supports.
While many people encounter difficulty in finding affordable, high quality health care, people with I/DD face additional barriers, sometimes life-threatening, when attempting to access timely, appropriate health services in their communities. These barriers include:
Important elements of this Health Position Statement include timely access, nondiscrimination, affordability, and communication and personal decision-making, including surrogate decision-making. These elements are described more fully below:
Communication and Personal Decision-Making
In all matters of health, individuals with I/DD have basic rights that must be protected, including the right to information and appropriate accommodations to assure informed consent3 that allows an individual, or under appropriate legal conditions, a guardian, a health care power of attorney, or a surrogate decision-maker of the individual's choice to accept or refuse health-related services based on:
Surrogate Decision-Making
Individuals may temporarily or permanently lack the capacity to make some or all health care decisions. This lack of capacity may not be global and the individual should always be assisted in making those decisions which they can and in participating in all other decisions as much as they are able. When an individual has been determined to lack capacity to make health care decisions and does not have an advance directive such as a "Living Will," or a health care power of attorney, a surrogate decision-maker should be identified to make these decisions, whenever possible before a crisis arises. People who have such authority under state laws include the parent of a minor child, the guardian/conservator of an incapacitated adult, or surrogate decision-makers designated under a health care consent law.
All decision-making by a surrogate decision-maker should be consistent with the principles expressed in the sections above regarding health care and informed consent. Surrogate decision-makers must follow the expressed wishes of the individual. When the individual's wishes are not knowable, the surrogate must follow the person's probable wishes, taking into account the person's known values, and, as a fall back, act in the person's best interests. In decisions involving the refusal of medical treatments, or nutrition and hydration, when such refusal will result in the death of the individual, the legal authority of the surrogate decision-maker should be limited to those situations in which all three of the following conditions exist: (1) the person's condition is terminal, (2) death is imminent, and (3) any continuation or provision of treatment, nutrition and/or hydration would only serve to prolong dying. However, in such situations, people with I/DD must be provided appropriate palliative care, including medical treatment to relieve pain, sustenance as medically indicated, and care designed to relieve isolation, fear, and physical discomfort.
Rev'd 2017
Joint Statement with the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD).
1 "People with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities" refers to those defined by AAIDD classification and DSM IV. In everyday language they are frequently referred to as people with cognitive, intellectual and/or developmental disabilities although the professional and legal definitions of those terms both include others and exclude some defined by DSM IV.
2 Surrogate decision-maker: a person who makes health care decisions for a person who is unable to make decisions about personal health care. A surrogate decision maker may be an appointed agent under a durable power of attorney for health care or a court-appointed guardian with authority to make health care decisions. If there is no appointed surrogate, normal custom and practice, as well as the law in most states, permits health care practitioners to turn to next of kin as default surrogate decision makers. A growing number of states also authorize a close friend to act as default surrogate. All surrogates have an obligation to follow the expressed wishes of the adult person. If the individual's wishes are not known, the surrogate must follow the person's probable wishes, taking into account the person's known values, and as a fall back to act in the person's best interests. (Charlie Sabatino and Erica Wood, Commission on Law and Aging, American Bar Association. Presentation at the National Aging and Law Conference, December 2010, http://new.abanet.org/aging/Pages/CLE.aspx )
3 Informed consent has three elements: capacity of the consent-giver, information supplied to the consent-giver, and voluntary action by the consent-giver.
4 Advance directive: Written advance directives include living wills and the durable power of attorney for health care. Living wills enable individuals to describe the treatment they would like to receive in the event that decision-making capacity is lost. The latter enables a patient to appoint a surrogate to make decisions if the patient becomes unable to do so (Ethics Manual, American College of Physicians, 2012.)

Cilic rolls in Rome opener
Rome, Italy – World No. 13 Marin Cilic was an easy opening-round winner at the Italian Masters tennis event, a clay-court French Open tune-up.
The 11th-seeded Croatian slugger handled Kazakhstani qualifier Andrey Golubev 6-4, 6-2 at beautiful Foro Italico.
Talented Latvian Ernests Gulbis, a qualifier this week, advanced by beating veteran Finnish left-hander Jarkko Nieminen, 6-2, 7-6 (8-6), while 6-foot-8 rising Pole Jerzy Janowicz handled Colombian Santiago Giraldo 7-5, 6-2.
An all-Italian affair Monday saw Fabio Fognini douse Andreas Seppi 6-4, 6-1. Fognini should have his hands full with clay-court king Rafael Nadal in his next outing.
Also on Day 2, Spanish qualifier Albert Montanes overcame quality Slovak Martin Klizan 3-6, 7-5, 6-3; Italian Potito Starace came back to beat Czech Radek Stepanek 4-6, 6-4, 6-3; Russian qualifier Andrey Kuznetsov topped Belgian Xavier Malisse 6-2, 3-1, retired; France's Benoit Paire outlasted Argentine Juan Monaco 7-6 (7-4), 1-6, 6-4; and Spaniard Albert Ramos dismissed Czech qualifier Jan Hajek 7-5, 6-0. Montanes is rewarded with a second-round match against world No. 1 superstar Novak Djokovic, while the wild card Starace will encounter the great Roger Federer in his next match.
The six-time Rome champion Nadal beat the 2011 titlist and two-time winner Djokovic in last year's marquee finale.
The amazing Nadal was last week's Masters champion in Madrid.
The 2013 Rome winner will take home $660,000.

Transferring / Re: Yet ANOTHER possible transfer questions« on: October 29, 2006, 09:40:25 PM »
Has anyone transferred down in the rankings? I left the area where I grew up, my friends, and my boyfriend of three years to go to a T3 (it was top 100 when I was admitted, grrr) school four hours away. I would like to transfer to either a T3 or T4. I had applied to both of those schools earlier, but due to a number of factors, mainly cost of living and a desire to try a different area, I did not choose to go either place. My LSAT was good, and I had received scholarship offers from the two schools I am thinking about transferring to. What do you think about my chances of being accepted as a transfer student to one of those schools, assuming I have average (top half of class) grades at my current school?

The Chefs: Colleen and Valencia Whole Foods
The Menu: A freshly made, grilled panini with portobello mushrooms, roasted red pepper, avocado, spinach, and tomato slices—all on rosemary focaccia bread.
The Goods: Although I felt guilty for not brown-bagging lunch today (who has time during these final days before Christmas?!?), all feelings of guilt quickly subsided after one bite of this lovely panini. The folks at our neighborhood health food store/gourmet market whipped up their signature vegan sandwich filled with roasted vegetables, and then added fresh tomatoes and avocado for good measure. For that, I thank them. I am also thankful because the entire VegNews staff is off for our annual break until Monday, January 3. We hope you have a wonderful holiday and New Year celebration, and we'll be back in 2011. Cheers!
