Do you love being outdoors? Have you ever thought about outdoor yoga for a change of scenery from your usual practice area?
More and more yoga lovers are heading outdoors during the spring and summer months to make the most of the weather. But be warned, there is a very good chance you will not want to go back inside to practice once you have tasted outdoor yoga!
Under the sky
For a long time I put myself off the idea, because I told myself that I needed to be in my own 'private space' where I could control my environment. The idea of being on display whist practicing my asana's was incredibly off putting because I knew I would have trouble concentrating if I felt that I was making a spectacle of myself and people were staring at me.
Eventually I plucked up the courage to give it a try and having experienced the freedom of meditating in various outside locations, there is no looking back for me. I now have a few favorite spots depending on weather and time constraints
I discovered that it is a shame to confine oneself to practicing indoors when you could be enjoying the experience and freedom of taking your yoga outside and connecting in a natural environment.
Here are some tips that will help you to get the most out of your al-fresco yoga!

Eagle Hunter #9, 2008 -- John Delaney & No. 807 -- Svjetlana Tepavcevic |
Exhibitions run Friday, May 17th through July 12, 2013.
Artist Reception Wednesday, June 5, 2013, Reception 5-7 pm, Artist Talk 6 pm
photo-eye Gallery is located at 376-A Garcia Street, Santa Fe, NM 87501
photo-eye Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of photographs by John Delaney and Svjetlana Tepavcevic. John Delaney's silver gelatin photographs depict an ancient Kazakh nomad tradition of hunting with golden eagles. His portraits of the birds of prey with their handlers capture a striking relationship between man and animal. Svjetlana Tepavcevic gathers the seedpods of various trees and plant-life and photographs her finds in her studio. By making the small large, Tepavcevic's images illuminate the strange beauty of the natural world.
Shot in Mongolia in 2008, John Delaney's Golden Eagle Nomads centers on the relationships between the nomadic Kazakh people and their golden eagle hunting companions. Though their nomadic lifestyle and hunting traditions date back to the 5th Century (and possibly earlier), the Kazakh's way of life is now threatened by an encroaching Western influence and globalization. Delaney's photographs capture the unique and complex symbiotic relationship between the Kazakh people and these powerful birds. Delaney was honored with the 2008 Lucie/International Photography Awards 'Discovery of the Year' for this series, and honed his black & white printing skills while printing for Richard Avedon, Irving Penn and Annie Leibovitz. His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally.
In Means of Reproduction, Svjetlana Tepavcevic has photographed seeds and seedpods of various trees discovered on her walks in nature. Shooting them in her studio, Tepavcevic's aesthetic emphasizes the delicate details and inherent beauty of these intriguing objects, bringing to life the resilience of plants and their perseverance in reproduction. The viewer is able to witness the great mysteries of nature and its impressive ingenuity. Tepavcevic's work was selected as a finalist in Photolucida's Critical Mass contest and received third place and an honorable mention from the Lucie/International Photography Awards. Her work is in the collection at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Elizabeth Avedon recently featured Delaney's work in a blog post that can be read here.
Svjetlana Tepavcevic's Means of Reproduction series was written up on the PNAS First Look Blog, on the website of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America website. Read it here.

Powercom UPS
Powercom Russia a company that designs, manufactures UPS systems for business and industry. Has launched a complete line of power monitoring and shutdown software for most of operating systems including both UPS and Solar monitoring systems.
Through its existing distribution network, Powercom also offers access to 170 service centres across Russia.
Their main focus is the government segment offering highly effective total cost of ownership (TCO) propositions for users, while also ensuring that retailers and resellers make a decent margin selling their products.
It will be interesting to see how the state changes in Russia and CIS although we understand that they have recently secured a significant contract on high-power UPS products in the healthcare sector.
Powercom has made great strides in the Russian SOHO and SMB markets and is determined to replicate this success in the high-power UPS segment. The company holds leading positions in both the Chinese and Taiwanese markets and now wants to increase its market share in Russia.
"Products from Powercom are reliable, attractively priced and well serviced," said Golovina. "We offer customised rebates, price protection for large projects, joint marketing, and marketing funds."
For retailers and resellers, Powercom allocated marketing funds based on turnover and also provides point of sales (POS) materials.
With more users switching away from desktop PCs to mobile devices with internal batteries, Powercom is not expecting growth in the market for desktop-related UPS devices. The rise in mobile devices is leading to an increased use of the internet and cloud-based technology. This in turn is increasing the development of centralised IT infrastructures and data centres, both of which have high-power UPS requirements.

Many financial experts consider life insurance to be the cornerstone of sound financial planning. It can be an important tool in the following situations:
- Replace income for dependents
If people depend on your income, life insurance can replace that income for them if you die. The most commonly recognized case of this is parents with young children. However, it can also apply to couples in which the survivor would be financially stricken
by the income lost through the death of a partner, and to dependent adults, such as parents, siblings or adult children who continue to rely on you financially. Insurance to replace your income can be especially useful if the government – or employer – sponsored benefits of your surviving spouse or domestic partner will be reduced after your death. - Pay final expenses
Life insurance can pay your funeral and burial costs, probate and other estate administration costs, debts and medical expenses not covered by health insurance. - Create an inheritance for your heirs
Even if you have no other assets to pass to your heirs, you can create an inheritance by buying a life insurance policy and naming them as beneficiaries. - Pay federal "death" taxes and state "death" taxes
Life insurance benefits can pay estate taxes so that your heirs will not have to liquidate other assets or take a smaller inheritance. Changes in the federal "death" tax rules between now and January 1, 2011 will likely lessen the impact of this tax
on some people, but some states are offsetting those federal decreases with increases in their state-level "death" taxes. - Make significant charitable contributions
By making a charity the beneficiary of your life insurance, you can make a much larger contribution than if you donated the cash equivalent of the policy's premiums. - Create a source of savings
Some types of life insurance create a cash value that, if not paid out as a death benefit, can be borrowed or withdrawn on the owner's request. Since most people make paying their life insurance policy premiums a high priority, buying a cash-value type
policy can create a kind of "forced" savings plan. Furthermore, the interest credited is tax deferred (and tax exempt if the money is paid as a death claim).

Lifetime's New 'Gabby Douglas' Movie Forgets That She's Black
LatestOn Saturday night, Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas will get the cheesy Lifetime movie treatment with The Gabby Douglas Story. The trailer just hit this Internet and while it looks camp, I'm excited to see Imani Hakim from Everybody Hates Chris in the lead role. Regina King and S. Epatha Merkerson are also in the film as Gabby's mother and grandmother.
The Douglas Story looks like the perfect family movie to watch with grandma — old ladies love Gabby — except some who have seen the made-for-TV film say the script leaves out one big piece, race.
Douglas overcame a lot—that's not up for debate. But she overcame quite a bit more that's not in the movie. The most glaring omission from her story is seemingly the most obvious one: It's impossible to ignore that Douglas is a black woman competing in a sport that is predominantly white. Even while Douglas was a favored presence at the games, her race was an issue of discussion, ranging from NBC's botched coverage of her time in London to arguments about her hair. Douglas has not been silent on the issue, either. In a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Douglas explains she felt so isolated because of the racism she experienced at her original Virginia Beach gym, it was one of the reasons for her move to Iowa.
Douglas' ethnicity is reportedly mentioned at least once, when her mom drops her off with an Iowa host family so she can train with coach Liang Chow. It is then that Gabby realizes that she'll probably be the only chocolate drop at the gym. But outside of that scene, the idea that Gabby is a woman of color from a poor family in a predominantly caucasian sport, which has made a habit of ostracizing competitors of color, is odd. But I guess Lifetime wasn't trying to rile up grandma.

Land use futures
Foresight project looking at the future of land use in the UK over the next 50 years.
This project took a broad and overarching look at the future of UK land use up to 2060 and beyond. It covered the whole spectrum of land use from urban to rural.
The project explored:
- the land use challenges the UK could face over the next 50 years
- the existing structures and mechanisms and their capacity to help us meet these challenges
- the opportunities to use and manage land differently now and in the future
It has produced an evidence base which will help government and other policy makers understand whether existing land use patterns and practice are fit for the future.
The project was guided by a high level stakeholder group and a lead group of experts to ensure that it used the most relevant evidence and research on land use topics. Over 35 evidence papers were commissioned to inform the analysis.
The project was sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).

Hello readers, today's article comes from a face painting mom who has reached out to the community to help her and her son. Kelly Mules posted on our facebook wall about her son and despite sharing it on facebook, I wanted to help them and spread the word more. If you have the time, please find it in your heart to help this brave boy.
The following is from Kelly:
Life was good but all that changed in the blink of an eye, Sept. 2010, when my son got a rare disorder called Guillain-Barre-Syndome. He went form being a healthy, active 10 year old boy in the 6th grade to being totally paralyzed fighting for his life unable to even breath on his own in just 12 short hours. We spent months in the hospital. Everything in my life stopped and changed that day and nothing is as it was.
The things I loved most like my Faces Gone Wild, faces painting business, artwork and hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains stopped that day. I wanted to trade places with my son, but that wasn't an option I was given, so I did what any parent would do for their sick child. I became my sons full time nurse, caregiver, therapist, school teacher, friend and mom over night.
It has been almost 3 years since my son was diagnosed with GBS. He has gotten stronger and his spirit is so amazing and full of life. He is my hero and there is nothing I wouldn't do for him. I have got my face painting business back up to speed as much as I can and we are learning how to enjoy life and all it has to offer a all new way…in a wheelchair. I have now made it my life quest to make sure my son enjoys life to it's fullest by introducing him to adaptive sports and looking for creative ways for him to still enjoy the things he loves.
Transportation is becoming our biggest issue right now. My son is a growing 14 year old boy and I have been lifting him myself in and out of our van for the past 3 years now. He is getting heavier and almost taller then me now. It is really getting hard on both of us. Sometimes I fall over on his lap or set him down in as awkward position and we just laugh…making the best of things. I have put off looking for a handicap van because not only can we not afford but I was truly hoping my son would be walking again by now. The reality is… it's time to see if we can somehow find a way to get the handicap van we need so we can keep enjoying the things we love.
I have set up this fundraiser for Kyle below so that if anyone would like to help it is an easy way to give, but please don't feel obligated. If you can't help right now that's ok. If you could please share this link with others or just pray with us about this growing need we now have.

Curse You, Yellowpages
Few things fill me with as much yuppie rage as the sight of a brand new stack of phonebooks sitting on my front porch. Sure, I should just recycle it. And I did! But I'm still mad. Here's why:
1. I don't even live in Brookline, Brighton, or Chestnut Hill, yet I'm getting their lousy phonebook.
2. I don't have a Verizon landline—or, for that matter, a Comcast one—and as far as I know, nobody in my triple-decker does, either. I never asked for this product, don't want it, and yet it's now become my property. I'm the proud owner of a three-pound piece of garbage.
3. Phonebooks are an absurd waste of paper. Annually, an estimated 5 million trees are turned just into white pages directories. (And yes, this is coming from a guy who works for a magazine. But people actually pay to receive our product—we don't just mail it to everyone with a mailbox.)
4. Not nearly enough people recycle them: According to a 2011 study, it's just 22 percent. The rest end up in landfills—or, as Universal Hub points out, just rotting in snowbanks.
5. Barely anyone uses the phonebook anymore, because we have the Internet! That same study showed that around seven out of 10 people rarely or never use the white pages. I bet it's even lower now that smart phone adoption is on the rise.
6. The phone companies, for the most part, don't even want to print the whitepages anymore, but 70 percent of states require the companies to distribute them. (The Yellow Pages, on the other hand, are supported by advertising and a strong lobby, and challenge any attempt to ban them—including proposals in Boston and Cambridge. The Yellow Pages, in fact, was able to overturn a Seattle ban by taking it to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.)
What's to be done? Well, recycling the damn things is the first step, so they don't end up in a landfill. Signing up to opt out of the Yellow Pages is the second step, although I'm highly skeptical that's going to stop deliveries. And third, can we get a city councilor or state representative to present a bill banning the automatic delivery of phonebooks—or, at the very least, make it an opt-in procedure?

Student with best response ever when a teacher questioned her drawing
Little kids can be amazingly hilarious. They are brutally honest and do not really care to take offense in their opinion. They always say their mind and many times come with witty comebacks that leave us adults speechless.
Here are some of the best responses of kids that will put a smile on your face and will remind you why we love them so much.
A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She walked around and looked at the artwork. When she came to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing a picture of God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like.
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing the girl replied, "They will in a minute."
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.'
The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'
The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him.'
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five- and six-year-olds.
After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
Without missing a beat, one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not k-i.l.l."
One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. Suddenly, she noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast to her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?" Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of blood.
Trying to make the matter clearer, he said, "Now class, if I stood on my head, the blood as you know, would run into it and I should turn red in the face."
"Yes, sir," the class said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in an ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
Bobby shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."
Children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Christian school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. Someone had written a note and put it next to the apples. It read, "Take only one, God is watching."
Moving through the line, to the other end of the table, was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
One little boy wrote his own note and snuck it next to the cookies, "Take all you want, God is watching the apples."

The directory for the kernel source is /usr/src/<version-number>/, where <version-number> is the version of the kernel installed on this system.
Additionally, we use several different strategies to draw your attention to certain pieces of information. In order of how critical the information is to your system, these items are marked as a note, tip, important, caution, or warning. For example:
Note | |
Remember that Linux is case sensitive. In other words, a rose is not a ROSE is not a rOsE. |
Tip | |
The directory /usr/share/doc/ contains additional documentation for packages installed on your system. |
Important | |
If you modify the DHCP configuration file, the changes do not take effect until you restart the DHCP daemon. |
Caution | |
Do not perform routine tasks as root — use a regular user account unless you need to use the root account for system administration tasks. |
Warning | |
Be careful to remove only the necessary Red Hat Enterprise Linux partitions. Removing other partitions could result in data loss or a corrupted system environment. |

Mayall's Bluesbreakers – Live in 1967 CD Coming April 21 from Forty
Below Records
Unreleased Live Recordings Feature John Mayall, Peter Green, John McVie and Mick
LOS ANGELES, CA – Forty Below Records announces an April 21
release date for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers – Live in 1967 (Never Before
Heard Live Performances), a very special archival recording of one the
best of the Bluesbreakers band lineups, featuring legendary musicians John
Mayall (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Peter Green (lead guitar), John McVie
(bass) and Mick Fleetwood (drums). Distributed by Sony/RED, John Mayall's
Bluesbreakers – Live in 1967 showcases a band that was together for only
a scant three months, yet created a lasting legacy, made an immense impact on
music and led to the formation of one of the most acclaimed groups of all-time
when Green, McVie and Fleetwood left to form Fleetwood Mac.
The genesis of Live in
1967 came about because a staunch fan from Holland, Tom Huissen, was
able to sneak a one channel reel-to-reel tape recorder into five London clubs
(including the famed Marquee) in early 1967 and capture this exciting glimpse
into music history. For nearly 50 years these tapes remained unheard until John
Mayall acquired them recently and began restoring them with the technical
assistance of Eric Corne of Forty Below Records. "While the source recording was
very rough and the final result is certainly not hi-fidelity, it does succeed in
allowing us to hear how spectacular these performances are," says
known for a decade or two of the existence of these tapes and in fact Tom
Huissen had sent me a CD with 50 second teasers for some of the tracks that he'd
secretly recorded at our London shows," recalls Mayall. "Last year, Tom decided
he wanted the world to hear these performances and work soon began on restoring
the already fine quality on the old reel-to-reel tapes."
Mayall has some fond memories about how this band came about. "Through most of
1966, Peter and John were both regular members of the Bluesbreakers and Aynsley
Dunbar was the drummer," states Mayall. "However, even though Aynsley was a
great drummer, it was starting to become apparent that his jazz influenced style
of playing was veering away from the blues. As I recall, Peter had been close
friends with Mick Fleetwood for some time and he suggested I give him a shot.
And so for a short period of only about three months Mick became a
The band's repertoire on the tracks of
Live in 1967 includes some songs that were originally recorded on
The Bluesbreakers first two albums, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers
featuring Eric Clapton and A Hard Road (which featured
Peter Green), plus the soon-to-be recorded Crusade album, which
featured young guitarist Mick Taylor after Peter Green left the band. Other
songs on the new CD make their live debuts after having been recorded originally
as singles in the UK and would later appear on Mayall's Looking Back
album. In addition, several of the songs on Live in 1967
make their first appearance in any form on a Bluesbreakers
Two long-time mainstay influences
on John Mayall's storied career – Freddy King and Otis Rush - are well
represented here with live versions of songs long-associated with the two blues
giants. "All Your Love," "Double Trouble," "So Many Roads" and "I Can't Quit You
Baby" come from the Otis Rush canon of blues classics; and Freddy King's "The
Stumble," "San-Ho-Zay" and "Someday After Awhile," are given resounding
treatments here by the quartet playing with a sense of energy and
since Eric Clapton joined the band, we both had a great interest in the recorded
work of Otis Rush and Freddy King and many of their classic songs became part of
our live performing catalogue," Mayall says about the two blues icons. "Their
guitar work was always an inspiration for Eric, Peter Green and Mick Taylor in
those early years."
music on John Mayall's Bluesbreakers – Live in 1967
showcases a band that although only together for a short time, was incredibly
tight and in-the-pocket while still allowing room for improvisation, none more
so than Peter Green, whose guitar work on this CD will stand as some of his
best-ever on record. All of Green's guitar trademarks - the stop time
signatures, his incredible sustain and a hair-raising powerful tone – are
presented here in all their glory, highlighting a musician who was more than
able to assume the mantle as the guitar player following in Eric Clapton's
well-trod footsteps as a member of one of blues music's all-time aggregations,
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.

Whale Fall
Let us begin here: outside the one-room whaling museum at Point
Lobos, beneath the dark arms of cypresses.
White bones of whales lie stacked, chained together so that no one can
steal them.
No charnal ground, no messy metamorphoses, no vultures. Only the
antler shapes of Cypress's transcendence, and these white bones, past
Drybones like stones. Grieve, Cypress, for the unfallen.
Whale fall is out there—somewhere beyond the harbor, in the
Cavern, vast nave, ruined abbey. Slow downdrift of ancient sunlight.
Voices of liquid angels.
Once she too sang. Once she slapped water, slipped under her own
When she was sound, she sounded. Now she is soundless as a worm-hole.
Nor can she be sounded, lying too deep for words. For had she fallen
more shallowly, she would already be eaten.
When you are eaten, that is called a sea change.
All the sweet easy swallowed up, the fat of the land of me. Last bone
standing makes the church of whale fall.
To come home, you learn echolocation, like a bat. You call your
ownself out into the dark. You ping.
In the whale graveyard chained bones are set about with try-pots.
A try-pot too contains a terrible sounding, a sea change, a fall from
whale to oil. But the hagfish, the worms and sleeper sharks are
Only a flash of blue from the bay where an otter sleeps, wrapped in
kelp. Only a ruckus of seabirds, mist rising from the cypresses.
If I dived down to whale fall, a certain poetry would be possible.
That is an extremity to which I have not gone.
I was taken. I was chained. I was eaten. But I have not tried myself
All these years I have praised the good sun and the noise of gulls,
I have wrapped myself in kelp and slept in the current.
Now in the night three strange angels kick open my door, unchain my
Go down, they say. Go down. Now you must love that too.
Reversing the Spell On Mauna Kea
Always the fish
with their tricky wishes.
Throw them back, throw them back
and the gold ring with them!
Up here on the mountain
there's nothing to wish for.
So high, so clear
the light so near.
Pale blue butterfly
on a yellow
mamani flower,
two scrawny bees plowing pollen—
no silver slipperies, nothing
you dreamed of
sliding through your fingers
like herring.
Only, in the red-gray dust
a round orange seed:
but don't plant it!
You know what that leads to—
easy climb
fool's gold
oven door
screaming harp
the necessity of an axe.
Because he was born of desire.
Because he was walled away,
that no one might see him
to remember who they are.
Because he was fed as one feeds shame—
in darkness, with the hand sinister.
Because his sister was overtaken—
all she had denied
blackening like sweat
the finestitched clothes.
Because she betrayed him.
Because Inanna was gone
and there was no friend to listen.
Because he suffered these things
I now come to him
and put my hand upon his head
and lead him out of the cave
and I say
We are animals. Here is the garden.

HOME Housing Production Investment Fund
HOME is the largest Federal block grant to State and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households. Each year it allocates approximately $2 billion among the States and hundreds of localities nationwide.
The HOME Program is authorized under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, as amended. HOME provides formula grants to States and localities to fund a wide range of activities that build, buy, and/or rehabilitate affordable housing for rent or homeownership or provide direct rental assistance to low-income people.
The Department of Community Affairs is one of 28 participating jurisdictions in New Jersey with HOME funds to distribute. Before seeking HOME funds from the Department, you should contact the city or county in which your project is located to determine whether HOME funds are available there.
The HOME Production Program is administered by the Department in accordance with both the federal HOME program rules, found at 24 CFR Part 92, and the rules of the Department s Balanced Housing Program (N.J.A.C 5:43-1.1 et seq.). When Federal and State program requirements differ, the more stringent will apply.
General requirements
Any units created with HOME funds must be affordable to low-income families (generally defined as having an adjusted gross income below 80% of the applicable area median income). These units may either be rented or sold to qualified households using the following assumptions:
- If the unit is for rent, the family should pay no more than 35% (40 percent for households applying for age-restricted units) of its gross income for rent and utilities.
- If the unit is for sale, the buyer should pay no more than 28% of household income monthly for mortgage principal and interests, taxes and insurance, and condominium fees where applicable.
The project activity must include rehabilitation (whether substantial or moderate), new construction, or conversion of non-residential properties to residential use.
HOME Production Program funds may be used for construction costs and development costs such as professional fees and financing costs. Acquisition is an eligible cost; however, acquisition of vacant land alone is not an eligible use of funds. HOME funds also may be used to cover deficits during the first 18 months of operation for a rental project.
Rental units are to be used for permanent housing.
Any contract for construction (rehabilitated or new construction) of 12 or more HOME-funded units must contain a provision requiring use of prevailing wage rates as defined by the Davis-Bacon Act.

On a fall day in 2012, right after taking a frustrating sociology exam for which he would receive a B, Cardale Jones – a student-athlete at Ohio State University – tweeted something that he would later regret:
Jones saw college as football and classes as an inconvenience. At the time, and again two years later when the quarterback led his team to a national championship, Jones's tweet brought intense criticism. But maybe it shouldn't have.
College football players spend more than 40 hours per week on football, including time on the practice field, in the weight room, with trainers, and in film study and team meetings. On average, college athletes spend more than 30 hours a week on their sport. The US National Collegiate Athletic Association has a rule limiting college athletes to 20 hours per week, but it is rife with loopholes and a target of lawsuits.
Such ambitious schedules leave college athletes exhausted and with little energy for coursework. In many cases, the primary reason they are attending college in the first place is to play a sport. Many athletes evince a dedication exceeding all but the most committed students of the sciences or humanities.
In fact, the phrase 'student athlete' is redundant. To be an athlete is to be the student of a discipline as rigorous and as noble as literature, chemistry or philosophy. The ancient Greeks, who invented the idea and practice of the academy, conceived of athletics as a basic component of education and culture (paideia).
Ancient precedents aside, any college course catalogue today reveals many majors focused primarily on a physical or practical, rather than theoretical, field of study. The University of California, Berkeley, my alma mater, supports majors in art practice, dance and performance studies, theatre and performance studies, music, film, creative writing, journalism, communications, and business administration. The art practice major consists 'largely of studio courses' and focuses on artistic production, although students also take classes in art history, theory and business. All of these majors combine educational requirements of practice and theory, but focus on practice. They provide an obvious model for majors in sport.
The football major, for example, would consist of the practicum, the many hours of physical training, practice, film study and meetings. Courses would also be required in the history, science, criticism and business of the discipline, as well as in the related fields of physiology, nutrition, journalism and sports management. Indeed, all of these fields of study already exist. A graduate of the football major could claim some expertise in the field, and be someone with the potential for significant impact, as an athlete, coach, trainer, agent, commentator, consultant, or team member in a complex organisation.
Some critics might argue that sport is not intellectual enough to be enshrined as a field of academic study. But this objection presumes a much too restricted view of intellect, a proper account of which must also clearly make room for performative activities such as art, theatre and dance. Thanks to recent scientific and academic research, we have a much better appreciation of the intelligence required for athletic excellence.
Sport intelligence requires cognitive performance that is extremely demanding: the ability to read the complexity of a situation, to come to near-instantaneous intuitive judgments about how to react, and to move the body accordingly. It requires, as the journalist Chuck Squatriglia explained about soccer research in Wired, 'what neuropsychologists call executive functions, which include the ability to be immediately creative, see new solutions and quickly change tactics'.
In this respect, the demands of football are especially rigorous. Because it involves large teams with 22 players lining up on any one play to perform a strategic manoeuver, if on offence, or to counter that manoeuver, if on defence, it requires more preparation off the field than any other sport. American football players spend more time in meeting rooms, watching film and reading binders of plays than doing anything else. As Nicholas Dawidoff wrote in The New Yorker:
In developing a game plan, coaches typically break down everything that happened in the opponent's past four games to granular levels of 'tendencies' – down, distance (to a first down), field position, and time remaining on the game clock. Once assembled, this research fills many pages of the game-plan binders players are given on Wednesday to prepare them for Sunday. (Teams have also begun to use iPads.) The binders are dense with intricate drawings and written instructions. They are often as thick as a left tackle's fist.
What players learn is then tested under high-stress real-world conditions, in practice and actual games. How many fields of study can say the same?
I would also argue that people suffer from an impoverished view of the human mind. The popular tendency is to think of consciousness as something that happens inside the head or the brain, but philosophers are challenging this view with an approach that sees the mind as the interaction of one's entire neurological system with the environment. The US philosopher Alva Noë, for example, who has written several books exploring a new theory of mind, appeals to practices such as dance, which demonstrate how mental activities can be bodily and spatio-temporally extended, coordinated and social, and both reactive to and manipulative of other people and the world. And psychologists such as Howard Gardner have theorised that kinaesthetic intelligence, the ability to use the body to solve problems, is a distinct form of intelligence worth study.
While these distinctions might be unfamiliar to many, people do seem to recognise the unique intelligence of athletes and how that intelligence can translate into other domains. Businesses, law firms and other complex organisations requiring a sophisticated balance of competition and cooperation often recruit from college athletics, especially from team sports.
Creating sports majors also addresses real problems. Unlike philosophy or anthropology, sport is a booming multi-billion dollar industry in the United States and around the world. It offers potential for employment in an extensive variety of fields: coaching (high school, college, pro), physical training, marketing, law, consulting, design, management, and more. Sports majors would help athletes to succeed in these fields. If Cardale Jones, for example, does not make it in the National Football League, his next-best options might be as a football coach, trainer, agent or businessman.
For at least a century, US universities have decided to include athletics in higher education, and that is not going to change. Nor should it. We just haven't pursued the logic to its proper end. It is time to make football a major.

Judge grants more time to abortion clinic
Published 12:13 am Saturday, July 14, 2012
JACKSON (AP) — A federal judge on Friday allowed Mississippi's anti-abortion law to take effect but said the state's only clinic can remain open and will not face any penalties as it tries to comply with new requirements.
U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III gave the clinic and the state each a partial victory with his ruling on the clinic's request for a preliminary injunction. The law requires anyone who does abortions at the clinic to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital. The clinic's two out-of-state OB-GYNS don't have those privileges and have had difficulty getting them from local hospitals.
The ruling gives the clinic time to seek the privileges during the next several months. Jordan wrote that the dispute over the law is a "fluid situation."
"We do not yet know whether the clinic will obtain admitting and staff privileges," the judge wrote. "As both parties stated during the hearing, the resolution of that issue will impact the ultimate issues in this case."
The clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization, has said it could be forced out of business with the admitting privileges requirement, making it nearly impossible to get an abortion in Mississippi.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled states can't place undue burdens on, or create substantial obstacles to, women seeking abortions.
The clinic said its OB-GYNs have applied for admitting privileges at most Jackson-area hospitals but haven't received responses. When clinic employees called a Catholic hospital to ask about applying for privileges, clinic owner Diane Derzis recently said, "We were told not to bother."
The clinic sued the state June 27 seeking to block the law. Jordan temporarily blocked the measure July 1, the day it was supposed to take effect. He heard arguments Wednesday about the clinic's request for a longer injunction, and granted the request in part on Friday.
"The act will be allowed to take effect, but plaintiffs will not be subject to the risk of criminal or civil penalties at this time or in the future for operating without the relevant privileges," the judge wrote.
Jordan noted that during Wednesday's hearing, clinic attorneys said the facility would continue to seek hospital admitting privileges. He wrote that he blocked penalties because the clinic had shown it would face "irreparable injury" if criminal prosecution or civil penalties were possible if the clinic didn't obtain the privileges quickly.
"Given the highly charged political context of this case and the ambiguity still present, the court finds that there would be a chilling effect on the plaintiffs' willingness to continue operating the clinic until they obtained necessary privileges," he wrote.
Supporters of the law passed by the GOP-controlled Legislature this year said it's designed to protect patients, and Republican Gov. Phil Bryant has said he hopes it will help make Mississippi "abortion-free."
Bryant said Friday he was "gratified" that the judge will allow the law to start taking effect.
"Mississippi will continue to defend this important measure as the legal process moves forward," Bryant said in a news release.
Republican Rep. Sam Mims, who sponsored the law, said he's also pleased Jordan allowed the law to take effect.
"I am confident that the new legislation will result in the improvement of health care for women," Mims said.
The state health officer, Dr. Mary Currier, filed a sworn statement in federal court Thursday showing how long it would take to fully implement the law if it takes effect. If the clinic is inspected and found out of compliance, it would get about 10 months to try to follow the mandates and to exhaust its administrative appeals with the Health Department. If the clinic loses its state license, it would then get more time to appeal to a state court.
Health Department spokeswoman Liz Sharlot said Currier and other department officials late Friday were reviewing the judge's decision to see what the agency's next steps will be.
The clinic says its physicians perform almost all of the roughly 2,000 abortions that are performed in Mississippi each year. If Mississippi physicians perform 10 or fewer abortions a month, or 100 or fewer a year, they can avoid having their offices regulated as abortion facilities.
A spokeswoman for Pro-Life Mississippi, Tanya Britton, said Friday of the judge's ruling that keeps the clinic open for now: "It's not a victory for the women of the state of Mississippi. This law was always about their health. If a woman is going to have an abortion and if people who perform abortions say they really care about the health of women, then they should want the best standard of care."
The New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, which has been helping the clinic in the lawsuit, says it has no plans to appeal.
"The federal judge has provided crucial temporary protection for the clinic and its physicians," Nancy Northup, the center's president and CEO, said in a news release. "We will remain vigilant in our fight to ensure the clinic isn't subject to penalties that would force its doors to close and deprive Mississippi women of their constitutionally-protected rights."

Song Interpretation |
Its very easy to just chalk this one up to a song about a vexed homosexual trapped in a hidden world. But theres a bit more going on than that. It has more to do with finding your own way in life, rather than doing what may be expected of one. The references to subject changing and repeating words (so much to say over and over) show the true pain on the subject. Ironic that someone uses so few words for someone with So Much To Say. Therein lies the paradoxical nature of the song. |

How The Gun Rights Community Quashes Any Public Dissent On Gun Policy
Written by Timothy Johnson
The firing of Guns & Ammo contributing editor Dick Metcalf for making the noncontroversial assertion that the ownership of firearms is subject to some regulation is indicative of how the gun rights community will railroad anyone who offers a modicum of dissent to the absolutist view of the Second Amendment.
On November 6, Guns & Ammo editor Jim Bequette announced that Metcalf would no longer write for the firearm publication. Metcalf's offense was a column in December's magazine that stated, "[W]ay too many gun owners still seem to believe that any regulation of the right to keep and bear arms is an infringement. The fact is, all constitutional rights are regulated, always have been, and need to be." In defense of laws requiring training before carrying a gun in public he wrote, "I firmly believe that all U.S. citizens have a right to keep and bear arms, but I do not believe that they have a right to use them irresponsibly."
Bequette's groveling column, also appearing in the December issue of Guns & Ammo, offered "each and every reader a personal apology," and stated, "Dick Metcalf has had a long and distinguished career as a gunwriter, but his association with 'Guns & Ammo' has officially ended." Clarifying that the Guns & Ammo position is that the Second Amendment has "[n]o strings attached," Bequette wrote, "I made a mistake by publishing the column. I thought it would generate a healthy exchange of ideas on gun rights. I miscalculated, pure and simple. I was wrong, and I ask your forgiveness."
Members of the gun rights community face attack for debating any regulation on firearms or expressing support for background checks on firearm sales, a position extremely popular with the American public.
In February, when Alan Gottlieb -- president and founder of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) -- expressed support for a modest Senate proposal to expand background checks to commercial gun sales -- he faced open revolt from the gun rights community.
Popular gun blogger Dave Workman summarized how Gottlieb was "suddenly a pariah" in a February 20 column for Examiner.com:
Tempers went ballistic in the firearms community Wednesday morning when the Seattle Times reported that gun rights advocate Alan Gottlieb was negotiating with state lawmakers on so-called "universal background checks."
On one forum, he was branded a "traitor." On another, it was alleged that a "sell-out" is "in the works." Elsewhere, one might think that Gottlieb was the anti-Christ. Even the Seattle Times reader section contains some nasty remarks.
Phones have been ringing non-stop at Gottlieb's Liberty Park complex since early Wednesday morning, and a stream of e-mails - many apparently written by people who did not read the Times article but only picked up on conversations on gun rights forums - have been stinging.
Now, because he has participated in a give-and-take discussion about background checks, he's suddenly a pariah.
Prior to the vote CCRKBA pulled support for the Senate proposal -- which was subsequently filibustered primarily by Senate Republicans -- and claimed that Democratic Senators had not kept up their end of a deal on support for the bill.
The most recent indications suggest that Gottlieb has fully returned his organization to its prior hardline stance. Media Matters reporter Alexander Zaitchik reported on October 8 that Gottlieb announced at the annual Gun Rights Policy Conference that CCRKBA and its sister organization Second Amendment Foundation would sponsor a "Guns Save Lives Day" on the one year anniversary of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The date was later moved to the day after the anniversary, December 15. According to the "Guns Save Lives Day" website, the event will promote a petition that demands the government "cease and desist all efforts to disarm or short-arm the American people by limiting and disparaging the Second Amendment."
It is not unusual for a gun writer to lose his or her job for failing to toe the line in opposition to all gun regulations. In 2007, preeminent outdoor writer Jim Zumbo "offered to terminate his association" with Outdoor Life after writing on his blog that semi-automatic military-style rifles should not be used for hunting before branding that type of firearm a "terrorist" rifle. In a letter that resembles Guns & Ammo editor Bequette's apology, Outdoor Life editor-in-chief Todd Smith released a statement that declared, "Outdoor Life has always been, and will always be, a steadfast supporter of all aspects of the shooting sports and our Second Amendment rights, which do not make distinctions based on the appearance of the firearms we choose to own, shoot or hunt with."
Zumbo's blog put his entire career as an outdoorsman -- including corporate relationships and a televised hunting show -- in jeopardy. As The Washington Post summarized, "Despite a profuse public apology and a vow to go hunting soon with an assault weapon, Zumbo's career appears to be over." The Miami Herald wrote, "In what might be considered the fastest career collapse in history, Jim Zumbo - for decades one of the nation's most visible outdoor writers and broadcasters - has lost everything in a matter of only a few days."
The National Rifle Association also cut ties with Zumbo, warning in a statement, "The ensuing wave of grassroots response in support of the Second Amendment is a clear indication that America's gun owners will act swiftly and decisively to counter falsehoods or misrepresentations perpetuated by any member of the media -- whether it is one of the major networks or a fellow gun owner."
NRA board member Joaquin Jackson, a famous member of the Texas Rangers, continues to face calls for his removal from the organization's leadership after apparently suggesting in 2005 that assault weapons in civilian hands should be limited to a five round capability. As the controversy continued to brew in 2007, Jackson released a statement through the NRA Institute for Legislative Action where he claimed that he meant to say fully-automatic machineguns in civilian hands should be limited to five rounds per magazine. To this day, however, gun rights activists continue to call for his removal from the board of directors.
