On Campus: News and Notes
Construction Starts on New Residential Center
Construction began this fall on a new residential center that will enable Southwestern to move toward its strategic goal of having 95 percent of its students live on campus.
The new residential center, which is expected to be open for the fall 2007 semester, will house 64 students plus a residence life professional. It will consist of three buildings with two-bedroom apartments. Each student will have a private bedroom and bath, and each apartment will have its own kitchen. All the units will be fully furnished.
The project also will include a common area designed to support Residence and Student Life Programs.
We are very excited to be able to add this additional housing for Southwestern students, says Mike Leese, associate vice president and dean of students. It will clearly help us move toward more living/learning opportunities and theme housing for our students and to meet their requests for private bedrooms and baths.
The new apartments will be reserved for students who are either juniors or seniors. Leese says the new housing area will enable Southwestern to convert some of its other existing residence halls to special interest housing. For example, he says that one of the buildings in the McCombs Residential Center might be reserved for a living/learning community for sophomores participating in Southwesterns Paideia® Program.
Total cost of the project is estimated to be $5.8 million. Southwestern raised $1 million for the project and the remainder will be financed by revenue bonds. Donors to the project include the Grogan Lord Foundation of Georgetown, Jack Blanton of Houston, Frank 45 and Louise Britt Carvey 44 of Fort Worth, and Red and Genevieve Britt Caldwell 42 of Amarillo.
The new buildings are being constructed adjacent to the existing Grogan and Betty Lord Residential Center between 8th Street and Southwestern Boulevard on the north side of campus.
Four New Members Named to Board of Trustees
Four new members have been elected to the Southwestern University Board of Trustees.
Trustees elected to four-year terms are Houston businessman Robert H. Graham, Dallas minister Ronald Henderson and pharmaceutical company executive Dr. Robert Karr 71.
Graham is the chair and co-founder of AIM Investments, a Houston-based mutual fund group, and vice-chair of the parent company AMVESCAP PLC, a leading global investment management firm. He is the father of a first-year student at Southwestern University.
Henderson is senior pastor of Custer Road United Methodist Church in Plano, one of the largest United Methodist churches in the country. He previously served as District Superintendent of the Dallas Northeast District of the United Methodist Church, as senior pastor of Hamilton Park United Methodist Church in Dallas and as pastor of Saint Paul United Methodist Church in Dallas.
Karr is president of Idera Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Cambridge, Mass. Prior to becoming head of Idera Pharmaceuticals, he was senior vice president of strategic management for Pfizer Global Research and Development and held management positions in research and development with G. D. Searle Corp. and Warner-Lambert. Karr received his M.D. from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston in 1975. He is married to Jean Gibson Karr 71.
Ana T. Baida 06 was elected to a two-year term as a student representative on the board. Baida is currently pursuing a masters degree in education at Texas A&M University in College Station and plans to specialize in higher education student affairs administration.
Gandhi Grandson Speaks at Peace Conference Organized by Southwestern
A keynote speech by Arun Gandhi, grandson of famed Indian peace activist Mahatma Gandhi and founder of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence (www.gandhiinstitute.org), highlighted a peace conference held at Southwestern Oct. 11-12.
The conference, titled Making Multi-faith Connections in the Practice of Peace and Non-Violence, was organized by senior philosophy major Ansa Copeland. Copeland says she wanted to put together a conference to discuss how persons of different religions and convictions relate to and understand peace.
Gandhi told conference participants that his grandfather realized the importance of bringing religions together in the cause of peace.
Religion is like climbing a mountain, he said. Everyone is going to the same place (the top), so why does it matter which side you go up?
Gandhi suggested that eliminating poverty was they key to eliminating violence in the world. He also said that peace needs to begin at a personal level.
Unless we have peace in ourselves, we cant create peace in the world, he said.
The conference, which was attended by more than 600 persons, included a panel discussion in which representatives of different faiths responded to Gandhis lecture.
Conference participants also attended workshops on a variety of topics, including Islam: A Religion of Violence or Peace? and Peace in Palestine: Strategies and Considerations.
McCombs Receive 2006 Presidents Philanthropy Award
Longtime benefactors Red 49 and Charline 50 McCombs received the 2006 Presidents Philanthropy Award at the annual Presidents Appreciation Dinner Sept. 28.
The McCombs have given more than $8 million to Southwestern since 1971. Their contributions have included funds for the Red & Charline McCombs Campus Center, which was dedicated in 1998, and the Charline Hamblin McCombs Residential Center, which opened in 2001. The McCombs also have contributed to a number of scholarship funds at the University.
Southwestern would not be the same institution it is today without the generous and far-sighted philanthropy of Red and Charline McCombs, says President Jake B. Schrum. They have been particularly generous with gifts that have enriched the lives of our students.
The McCombs also have given generously of their time to Southwestern. Red has served on Southwesterns Board of Trustees since 1987 and was chair of the board from 1992 through 2000 during the historic Leadership 2000 Campaign, which raised more than $91 million. He currently serves as an honorary chair of Thinking Ahead: The Southwestern Campaign, which has a goal of $125 million. Charline was an inaugural member of Southwesterns Board of Visitors.
At the event, the McCombs were presented with the first copies of William B. Jones new book about Southwestern, To Survive and Excel: The Story of Southwestern University, 1840-2000. Eric Heinke 01 also performed a song he composed for the couple.
Southwestern Hosts Conference on Business and the Liberal Arts
Southwestern received $50,000 from the James S. Kemper Foundation to host a national conference in November that focused on ways to improve the business programs offered at liberal arts colleges.
Nearly 30 business leaders and business faculty members from leading liberal arts colleges came to Southwestern to discuss the best ways to teach business within the liberal arts environment. A final report from the conference, titled Envisioning Business Programs in Liberal Arts Worlds, is expected to be available in the spring.
The world of business has changed rapidly in the past 20 years but business programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level are not adequately preparing students for these changes, says Mary Grace Neville, an assistant professor of business at Southwestern who organized the conference.
Of particular concern, Neville says, is the fact that most business programs simply teach subjects such as accounting and operations management without putting them in a larger context.
She says liberal arts colleges such as Southwestern are the perfect place for students to learn the interconnectedness between business and the larger global society.
Liberal arts business programs hold unique opportunities to influence society, Neville says. We can shape the next generation of business leaders to consider the social impact of their actions as well as just the impact on the bottom line.

Southwestern Library Receives Peace and Nonviolence Collection
Southwesterns A. Frank Smith, Jr. Library Center has received a large collection from the late Vance Engleman related to world peace and nonviolence.
The Engleman World Peace and Nonviolence Collection includes the 100-volume Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi as well as more than 100 additional printed and audiovisual works about Gandhis life and nonviolent practices, and the work of Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa. The collection also contains 20 pieces of artwork, including busts of Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa.
The library is very fortunate to have received the Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi and the rest of Mr. Englemans collection, says Dana Hendrix, head of collection development and acquisition. While the set is not incredibly rare, there seem to be very few copies readily accessible to Texas scholars. Southwestern joins The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Houston as being among the few universities in Texas to own the set.
Engleman was a management consultant who became interested in ideas of peace and nonviolence later in his life. He traveled around the world learning about nonviolence practices and conducting peace and nonviolence workshops.
The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, which speak to Gandhis experiences through many letters and journal entries, are accessible for library use in the periodical reading room. The remaining books and videos in the collection are shelved in the librarys stacks and are available for regular checkout by students and other library patrons. I believe this collection will be a great asset to our students and their studies, Hendrix says.
Three Greek Organizations Celebrate Milestones
Three Greek organizations at Southwestern are celebrating major milestones this year. The Zeta Tau Alpha sorority is celebrating its 100th anniversary and both the Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta fraternities are celebrating their 120th anniversaries.
In 1906, a small group of women helped found the Lambda chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha at Southwestern. This year, the sorority became the first womens Greek organization on campus to reach their centennial anniversary. They celebrated the achievement during Homecoming and Reunion Weekend. The alumnae, along with the collegiate members, hosted a number of events, including a campus reception. One of the philanthropic events planned for the weekend was their participation in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Austin. Alumni and 60 active members walked and ran the race to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research.
Homecoming and Reunion Weekend also marked the 120th anniversary celebration for the brothers of Kappa Sigmas Iota Chapter and Phi Delta Thetas Texas Gamma Chapter. The Kappa Sigmas kicked off the weekend with a poker night for all returning alumni. An official celebration and awards reception was held at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house Saturday afternoon and included a performance by alumni who put on a short skit about the past 120 years.
The Texas Gamma chapter of Phi Delta Theta started off the weekend with an open house for all alumni, and on Saturday night the brothers celebrated with a live band playing in the backyard of their fraternity house. It is such an achievement to have reached this mile marker in our history, says senior Travis Nelson, president of Phi Delta Theta. Strong brotherhood brought us here, and hopefully there will be many more celebrations to come.
And the 2007 College Guides Say
College guides published in the summer and fall brought good news for Southwestern.
An updated edition of Lauren Popes book, Colleges That Change Lives, includes Southwestern among its 40 featured schools. The book says the University is one of the few jewels of the Southwest whose mission is to prepare a new generation to contribute to a changing society, and to prosper in their jobs, whatever and wherever in the world they may be.
In the 2007 U.S. News & World Report rankings, Southwestern was ranked 57th in the country among liberal arts colleges. This is up from 61st in 2006. Southwestern remains the top-rated national liberal arts college in Texas.
Southwestern also is included in The Princeton Reviews 2007 edition of The Best 361 Colleges, a book its authors say chooses schools primarily for their outstanding academics.
Southwestern is one of 247 colleges featured in the latest edition of Barrons Best Buys in College Education. The guide says that if it isnt the hidden scholarship (due to income from Southwesterns endowment) that first draws students to Southwesterns campus, its the much more obvious benefits that keep them there, such as its personalized attention, 5-star faculty, and first-rate academic programs.
The second annual College Golf Guide published by Golf Digest ranked Southwestern as one of the top 50 schools in the country for women who want excellent academics but also a chance to play golf.

Survey: Where Do You Go for Recipes?
These days there are so many places to go to get a recipe. Forget the online world; food magazines and cookbook publishing seem to be flourishing. Throw in the plethora of recipe sites and food blogs, and you have thousands of choices at your fingertips.
It can get a little overwhelming, and we suspect most of you are loyal to a few, if not one, steady sources. Do tell.
29 Comments
i said cookbooks in the survey, mainly b/c that's where i go for inspiration, but truthfully, i get most of my recipes out of my own brain, riffing on a theme i find in a cookbook, working with what i've got in the larder, and then coming up with a new spin on the fly while i'm chopping and stirring
i do use a lot of magazines though, and i like epicurious, mainly b/c it's so comprehensive, but much of my inspiration comes from memories of meals my mother made when i was a child or that i ate at a restaurant
I often browse multiple recipes for the same dish to get a sense of the main requirements (i.e basic proportions, cooking time and temperature). Then I make my own version using these basics as a guideline.
For baked goods, which I don't know much about, I rely on cooksillustrated.com for recipes that always seem to work well. They have good explanations of how ingredients work and the logic behind different prep methods. (subscription required, but I think it's worth it)
I have a lot of cookbooks, which I also turn to sometimes. But often I just get a basic idea, then look online for variations and related ideas (ie what else could I do with polenta?)
I'm a big fan of molliekatzen.com for vegetarian, seasonal stuff.
I chose blogs. I've found that the following three never steer me wrong:
In my cookbook collection, there are two that I use all the time -- Mark Bittman's How To Cook Everything, which I flip through for dinner ideas or new ways to eat more veggies, and Baking Illustrated, which is my go-to reference for all baked goods.
first i use allrecipes.com and foodnetwork.com. then sometimes epicurious and occasionally recipesource.com. i have a ton of cookbooks but i never seem to use them...
I'm like Ann. I get an idea, but I just flip through cookbooks or websites to see if the wheel has already been invented on the technique. One of my favorite recent dinners was a red pepper, brown sugar, maple and pecan coating on catfish. The sweetness was just perfect with the spice, and the green beans and cornbread were perfect accents, with a 47 lb Rooster pinot Noir.
Cookbooks first (have over 4 dozen)
Magazines 2nd (often get inspiration from casual reading on trains, etc.)
Web 3rd -- when looking for a mag or newspaper recipe I can't otherwise locate.
the archives of rec.food.cooking, back in the old days it was THE place to get tips and recipes.
Cookbooks are my standby, but I also head to Epicurious and Food Network. My food blog du jour is Words to Eat By ... http://wordstoeatby.blogspot.com/
I find great ideas and advice from the Home Cooking board on Chowhound.com. OK, so the interface is clunky - tabbed browsing help a lot. But what a group of willing, knowledgeable and enthusiastic people.
I really love Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country magazines.
I check Epicurious first, then foodtv.ca (I adore Rob Feenie, Vancouver chef & his recipes are there, also pastry chef Anna Olson's recipes), I also check my cookbooks; I have too many of course, but strangely always want to buy new ones.. I buy food magazines about every 3 months only & try one or two new recipes from each one. I like Food & Wine. I like the New York Times recipes too.
I often also go to my recipes which I have placed in binders.
Because I am constantly thinking of food, I tend to go to whatever source is closest, typically cookbooks. But I also love epicurious, particularly mid-day when I have a dinner idea. And I enjoy cooking light, especially for fruit-based desserts.
But like Ann and Rachel, I also tend to gather information, assess my pantry and refrigerator situations, and then work from my head.
www.fooddownunder.com. this site is totally basic, but i love it bacuse i like to type in what ingredients i already have and it will pull up tons of recipes with those things in it. very convenient when i don't want to go out and buy anything.
Ona said:
"I often browse multiple recipes for the same dish to get a sense of the main requirements (i.e basic proportions, cooking time and temperature). Then I make my own version using these basics as a guideline."
Yeah, I do that, too.
Also, sometimes when I'm in a discount bookstore, I'll buy a cookbook, but I end up not using it.
Or I'll be waiting in the checkout line in the supermarket or in Gourmet Garage, be attracted to a picture of food on the cover and buy it. Then maybe plunder it for a helpful hint or two before depositing it in the downstairs hallway of our building where the other barely-read magazines go to be re-adopted.
"be attracted to a picture of food on the cover" means, of course, the cover of a food magazine. Sheesh. I need to eat.
Relaxing evenings usually consists of flipping through multiple cookbooks and some how an ammalgumation of ideas coagulates to form a new Luke specific recipe. Other sources= epicurious and a life line to my mother and grandmother.
I used to have a book shelf full of cook books and a very coumfy chair next to it. The comfy chair always luered me into a night of gastronomic pornography.
I used to 1st go to epicurious then to foodnetwork then life got ever so much eaier when I discovered: http://www.foodieview.com/index.jsp which is a Recipe Search Engine that "scours the web to find the best recipes on the web's most popular recipe sites...."
Very addicting!
I have a ton of cookbooks which gets a little overwhelming. I usually wind up using allrecipies.com.
I voted for my cookbooks. But if what I'm looking for isn't there - I use google. It sends me everywhere, the big sites, to personal favorites.
Luke mentioned asking his mother and grandmother. My mother and sister are great resources, too. My sister in particular makes every meal from scratch and cooks a wide variety of foods from around the world, and is always a good for for verifying or clarifying ideas and techniques found online.
Another vote for the Food Network. I still subscribe to several cooking magazines (Food & Wine, Cooking Light, etc.) but for me, there's something about seeing the food made that makes me want to grab the recipe off the website...
I opened to the comments section thinking I would find a bunch of links I'd never seen before, but there are hardly any links at all. So I will do my part. I, of course, cook from cookbooks, magazines, and find epicurious enormously handy, but I've found good recipes here:
and in the same vein, here:
This is a fantastic site:
Cupcake Bakeshop might have been mentioned on this site already, but it's worth noting again:
Chocolate & Zucchini and 101 Cookbooks everyone knows about by now. I think delicious days just won a bloggie, but it is my favorite and they have fantastic recipes:
just because she's a baker, like me, and lives in Chicago, like me:
and for hours of linklinklink-ing there is always http://www.slashfood.com
now pony up some of your links
I like http://www.acatinthekitchen.com/ , mostly because she posts some good candy recipies, but it's a nice look at traditional swedish food.
I'm typically inspired by food TV shows (in general, not just Food Network) and then use trusty google to steer me in the right direction.

This ongoing sequence of events and circumstances that have made our present self into what it is at this moment has an inertia that governs itself and propels itself forward in increments that are statistically likely to occur. These events need no effort on our part, they are a result of their own history. We have the potential ability to affect this vast wave of circumstance, to change events, to influence this flow in very fundamental ways.
But for the most part the entire world, not being aware that there is anything pushing it forward, believing its every action to be self-created and self-determined, exists on reflex alone and allows the incidents of their lives to just happen as they are likely to do. Of course, we do give thought to our lives, making decisions in a considered and calculated manner, but we do not realize that the mental processes we use to think these thoughts and make all of these considerations are as much a product of the great inertial wave as the uncalculated behavior of water in a stream or of a breeze blowing through a forest of leaves.
Even our thoughts are as forcefully propelled by all past experience as our actions are. Our reason, our judgement, our morals and our discernment, all qualities that we cherish and revere, are only the products of history, mythology, egoism and evolution. As such, we must always consider them suspect, and subject them to the most rigorous scrutiny. To understand this is a large part of achieving some degree of influence over our life, but it is like an addict's recognition of his dependency—seeing the truth doesn't make difficult goals easy to accomplish. Still, it is a crucial step if there is any hope of success at all.
When we become aware of the circumstantial forces that propel us blindly through our lives, only then can we put our efforts into changing our course toward a more considered future. When we can think about thinking, when we can consciously consider the unexamined shadows that linger behind our reflexive thoughts, then we have some hope of achieving influence over the situation.

Recovery of Vegetation (continued)
Plant Cover Development (continued)
Habitat 6
Figure 16 shows that no life-form group covered much more than 10% in years 7 and 9. The four most important, and about equally abundant, life-form groups were the sclerophyllous nanophanerophytes (sPN), the sclerophyllous woody chamaephytes (sCH frut), the caespitose chamae-hemicryptophytes [Ch(H) caesp], and rhizome-geophytes (G rhiz).
The species in the sPN group were the surviving Metrosideros polymorpha, Dubautia ciliolata, Styphelia tameiameiae, and Vaccinium reticulatum. Those in the sCh frut group were mostly the same species of lower (less than 25 cm) stature. The Ch(H) caesp group included primarily sedges (Machaerina angustifolia, Gahnia gahniaeformis, Cyperus polystachyos)1 and grasses (Andropogon virginicus1, Agrostis avenacea). The G rhiz group includes mostly ferns such as Sphenomeris chusana, Polypodium pellucidum, Nephrolepis hirsutula1, Pityrogramma calomelanus1, and Pteris cretica.
Figure 17.1 shows a section of habitat 6 in year 1 (1960) after the ash fallout. Here the pumice blanket was only 10-20 cm deep. The damage of the woody plants was manifested primarily in sheared-off shoot systems, while remnant crowns survived. Several such remnant crowns are seen in the photograph (Fig. 17.1). Figure 17.2 shows the same section in year 3 (1962). The recovery of sclerophyllous native shrubs (sPN and sCh frut in Fig. 16) was remarkable. The bush in the foreground in Fig. 17.2 is Dubautia ciliolata. The taller individuals in the background are shrubby Metrosideros trees of about 2-3 m in height. Figure 18.1 shows an excavated main branch of an ash-buried Vaccinium reticulatum shrub that was not broken off the root. Several new branches sprouted at the new surface line from the main branch, while the branch itself developed a few lateral roots. A similar resprouting occurred at the new surface line on the main stem of the Metrosideros shrub shown in Fig. 18.2. Also, several lateral roots developed from the buried main stem in the new ash layer. These excavations show the development in year 4 (1963) after the disturbance.

James Bond for David Beckham x adidas Doley
August 27th, 2010 by Aaron Hope | 9 comments
The past couple of weeks has seen several very good efforts from James Bond and David Beckham for Becks' adidas Originals ObyO capsule. As with all of the Bond x Beckham joints so far, these feature premium construction, with buttery soft leather playing the starring role on the rarely seen adidas Doley. They've got a bit of the Chuck Taylor vibe with a simple toecap, but instead of rubber from the sole (which is actually vulc on these), it's a rich caramel brown leather. Looks great on the toe and heel with navy blue elsewhere and leather laces finish off the luxe look. Superb execution of a model you don't see every day, the Becks n Bond Doleys are available at select adidas retailers like Extra Butter.

In Japan, where people didn't speak English very well, he said it bothered him, 'cause he couldn't even cuss there.
Miles's attitude was that if those motherfuckers over in Japan didn't understand the hip transgression of blasphemy, he had to admit that there wasn't much point in it.
"… Anyway, I really kicked my habit because of the example of Sugar Ray Robinson (picture above); I figured if he could be as disciplined as he was, then I could do it, too. I always loved boxing, but I really loved and respected Sugar Ray, because he was a great fighter with a lot of class and cleaner than a motherfucker.
He was handsome and a ladies' man; he had a lot going for him. In fact, Sugar Ray was one of the few idols that I have ever had. Sugar Ray looked like a socialite when you would see him in the papers getting out of limousines with fine women on his arms, sharp as a tack.
But when he was training for a fight, he didn't have no women around that anybody knew of, and when he got into the ring with someone to fight, he never smiled like he did in those pictures everybody saw of him. When he was in the ring, he was serious, all business.
I decided that that was the way I was going to be, serious about taking care of my business and disciplined…"

With the impending partial-closure of Powell's landfill and increased garbage rates, the outlook for local trash collection is gloomy. It's a reality city leaders have faced for years, but the forecast became drearier this week for Powell leaders hoping for a transfer station.
Mayor Scott Mangold said the "little bit of brightness in our dark garbage future" was the possibility of a transfer station in Powell, where residents could take household garbage once it is barred from the current landfill.
A bright spot no more.
The 1-cent tax proposal aimed to pay for landfill costs will no longer include funding for transfer stations in Powell, Meeteetse or Clark.
The development comes as a disappointment for Powell — leaders worry that without a transfer station, illegal dumping will increase. That risk concerns residents countywide.
If someone hauling a truckload of trash, including household garbage, is turned away from the Powell landfill, is it likely they'll trek to Cody? Or will they skip the drive and dump the trash in a ditch?
"The loads that get rejected there are going to end up in the ditches of east Park County," said Councilman John Wetzel on Monday.
The possibility of litter-strewn fields and ditches is sickening.
Another legitimate fear in Powell is that rural residents will empty their trash in city dumpsters. The mayor has jokingly alluded to padlocks for dumpsters.
County leaders have discussed funding roll-off bins at landfill sites. That way, residents would be able to dispose of trash without driving to Cody or hiring a private hauler. Those bins' capacity, however, is limited compared to a transfer station.
As landfill plans progress, we expect county officials to seriously consider the possibility of increased illegal dumping and take preventative measures to curb it.
Rural and city residents alike take pride in the natural beauty surrounding their homes. It will be a shame if trash ends up anywhere other than the landfill.

Cause Everyone Else is Mock .
1. Sheldon Richardson DE Mizzou .... The Texans are pretty thin and old up front . Crick is ok and Jamison is hurt .
2. Kevin Minter LB LSU ... I'm not sold on Sharpton and James and Dobbins are older . Oh yeah Cushing got hurt .
3. Jesse Williams DL Alabama ... Cody is a FA and Earl is an OK back up . May be able to play DE .
4. Quanterus Smith OLB Western Kentucky .... I expect Barwin to leave .
My two cents on where I think the problems are that have to addressed .
A little about Colleen. She's the brains behind the operation. Magna cum laude from BC, top five in her law school class, so obviously I have a pretty good idea how to recruit, I can tell you that.

(Between 1794-1796)
My dearest, my best one!
What a horrid picture you have drawn to me of myself. I recognize it; I do not deserve your friendship. You are so noble, so kindly disposed, and now for the first time I do not dare to compare myself with you; I have fallen far below you. Alas! for weeks I have given pain to my best, my noblest friends. You believe I have ceased to be kind-hearted, but, thank heaven, 'tis not so! It was not intentional, thought-out malice on my part, which caused me to act thus; but my unpardonable thoughtlessness, which prevented me from seeing the matter in the right light. I am thoroughly ashamed for your sake, also for mine. I scarcely venture to beg you to restore your friendship. Ah, Wegeler! My only consolation is that you knew me almost from my childhood, and—oh! let me say it myself—I was really always of good disposition, and in my dealings always strove to be upright and honest; how, otherwise, could you have loved me! Could I, then, in so short a time have suddenly changed so terribly, so greatly to my disadvantage? Impossible that these feelings for what is great and good should all of a sudden become extinct! My Wegeler, dear and best one, venture once again to come to the arms of your B. Trust to the good qualities which you formerly found in him. I will vouch for it that the pure temple of holy friendship which you will erect on them will forever stand firm; no chance event, no storm will be able to shake its foundations—firm—eternal—our friendship—forgiveness—forgetting—revival of dying, sinking friendship. Oh, Wegeler! do not cast off this hand of reconciliation; place your hand in mine—O God!—but no more! I myself come to you and throw myself in your arms, and sue for the lost friend, and you will give yourself to me full of contrition, who loves and ever will be mindful of you.
I have just received your letter on my return home.
(Vienna, circa 1799)
Do not come any more to me. You are a false fellow, and the hangman take all such!
(The next day)
Good Friend Nazerl:
You are an honorable fellow, and I see you were right. So come this afternoon to me. You will also find Schuppanzigh, and both of us will blow you up, thump you, and shake you; so you will have a fine time of it.
Your Beethoven, also named Mehlschoeberl, embraces you.

it probably seems like I cry over stupid shit but tbh I usually end up crying because I've stored up all of my upset feelings from multiple things rather than express them and then the littlest thing sets me off like spilling my drink may not be that big of a deal but when I've stored up that many negative emotions it feels like I busted a hole in the hoover dam

Tarceva (Erlotinib) Submitted for FDA Review for Treatment of NSCLC
Risk of cancer progression reduced by 66% versus platinum-based chemotherapy (Nov. 20)
A supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) has been submitted to the FDA seeking approval for Tarceva tablets (erlotinib, Astellas Pharma US) for first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations. The sNDA submission is based on results from the international EURTAC trial — a prospective, randomized, controlled, phase III study that evaluated the first-line use of erlotinib versus platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-activating, mutation-positive advanced NSCLC.
As many as 10% of people in Western populations with lung cancer and 30% of Asian people with lung cancer are estimated to have EGFR-activating mutations.
In the EURTAC (EURopean Randomized Trial of TArceva vs. Chemotherapy) study, 174 predominantly Caucasian patients were randomly assigned to receive erlotinib or platinum-based chemotherapy at centers in Spain, France, and Italy. The study's primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).
A total of 133 PFS events were observed. The median PFS was 10.4 months in the erlotinib group and 5.1 months in the platinum-based chemotherapy group. Erlotinib reduced the risk of lung cancer progression by 66% (hazard ratio = 0.34; P < 0.0001). The most common adverse events were diarrhea, asthenia, rash, cough, and dyspnea in the erlotnib group and asthenia, anemia, nausea, neutropenia, and cough in the chemotherapy group. Two deaths occurred in each group. The deaths in the erlotinib group were considered to be related to treatment.
EGFR is a protein that extends across the cell membrane. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) binds to the part of the EGFR protein located on the outside of the cell. This binding activates the EGFR protein, which in turn triggers a complex signaling cascade inside the cell that leads to a series of events, including accelerated cell growth and division, and the development of metastases. Some NSCLC tumors have activating mutations in the EGFR gene, changing the structure of EGFR proteins and causing increased activity.
Tarceva (erlotinib) is approved for patients with advanced NSCLC whose cancer has not spread or grown after initial treatment with certain types of chemotherapy (maintenance treatment). Tarceva is also approved for patients with advanced NSCLC whose cancer has spread or grown after receiving at least one chemotherapy regimen (second- or third-line treatment). Tarceva is not meant to be used at the same time as certain types of chemotherapy for NSCLC.

Bernard Lewis' Stubborn Hope
In Notes on a Century, the historian is still optimistic about a 'great civilization' in the Muslim world
"They have gone through some bad times," Lewis writes in the present volume, "but there are elements in their society which will help, which can be nurtured to develop into some limited consensual government in their own cultural tradition." This guardedly optimistic view Lewis opposes to the uncharitable claim "that these people are not like us; they have different ways, different traditions. We should admit that they are incapable of setting up anything like the kind of democracy we have. Whatever we do, they will be governed by tyrants."
Lewis parses the world of policy into two camps: those who believe in the promise of modernity in the Muslim world, even if it is achieved by a cautious and circuitous path; and the self-styled realists who consign a fifth of the world's people to perpetual tyranny. Surely these two possibilities do not exhaust the list of possible outcomes; it is conceivable, for example, that both putative democrats and tottering autocrats will go together to their mutual ruin, and Muslim society will deteriorate into chaos and depopulation. It is sad that this elegant and affecting memoir should appear at a moment when the path of least resistance in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Yemen leads neither to dictatorship nor to "consensual government" but to chaos.
During the George W. Bush Administration, senior officials frequently sought Lewis' advice, although they did not always follow it. "The second invasion of Iraq in 2003," he observes, "is sometimes ascribed to my influence with Vice President Cheney. But the reverse is true. I did not recommend it. On the contrary, I opposed it. It is, to say the least, annoying to be blamed for something I did not do." There is a broader sense, though, in which Lewis does bear some responsibility for America's abortive campaign to institute democracy in the Middle East: His eloquence and unfeigned affection for the Muslim world helped persuade Americans that their blood and treasure were well spent on the ultimate goal of Islamic democracy. That was not a casual conclusion, but the distillation of long reflection on the character of Muslim as well as Western societies.
His greatest worry today is about the Muslim Brotherhood. As he writes, "The Muslim Brotherhood is a very dangerous, radical Islamic movement. If it obtains power, the consequences could be disastrous for Egypt. I can imagine a situation in which the Muslim Brotherhood and other organizations of the same kind obtain control of much of the Arab world. I would not say it's likely, but it is not unlikely. If that happens, they would gradually sink back into medieval squalor." Considering that the Brotherhood and its allies won 77 percent of the vote in Egypt's parliamentary elections earlier this year, Lewis' dictum already seems overtaken by events.
Medieval squalor really is not an option for Egypt, which had fewer than 8 million people in late antiquity and exported food. With 10 times that number, Egypt imports half its caloric consumption. The country is a modern construct, with a population that is more than two-fifths illiterate and dependent on a military autocracy for subsidies. Were Egypt to revert to medieval conditions, the result would not be squalor but starvation on a horrifyingly large scale.
Academic criticism of Lewis' work came overwhelmingly from the left, starting with Edward Said's 1978 polemic Orientalism, "in which," Lewis writes, "Said imputed to Orientalists a sinister role as part of the imperialist domination and exploitation of the Islamic world by the West. In particular, he imputed to me an especially sinister role as what he called the leader of the Orientalists." With a few strokes in this present book, Lewis severs Said's head and holds it up to show that it is empty. For those who care about defending the saving myths that all groups concoct for themselves, Said's work will stand as a cri de coeur on behalf of Muslim dignity. Those who are interested in facts will agree with the assessment of Robert Irwin, the Middle East editor of the Times Literary Supplement, who called Said's book "a work of malignant charlatanry in which it is difficult to distinguish honest mistakes from willful misinterpretation."
Said's attacks on Lewis seem especially churlish given that the British scholar did more than give Muslim society the benefit of the doubt; he sees a moral equivalence in a way that some Americans may find surprising. "Corruption and oppression are corruption and oppression by whichever system you define them," he writes. "There's not much difference between [the Muslim] definition of corruption and our definition of corruption. In the Western world one makes money in the marketplace and then uses it to acquire political influence or access. In the Middle East the traditional practice is to seize power and use that power to get money. Morally I see no difference between them; economically, the Middle Eastern method does greater damage." That seems an odd parallel; Mitt Romney did not stage a military coup and kill his opponents to get rich with Staples. Is he really morally equivalent to Bashar al-Assad or Saddam Hussein?

Hi, I'm looking to make auras for Symbiosis ( http://www.wowhead.com/spell=110309/symbiosis ), and was wondering if it was possible to get it to work the way I want.
Basically what I'm after is an aura for each spell, one for Consecration, another for Bone Shield, etc. But obviously only want them to trigger when I am actually able to cast them because I've symbiosis'd with the appropriate class. At this time, when I make an Action Useable aura for Consecration, it is triggered all the time, whether or not I even have Consecration in my spellbook. If, however I do use Symbiosis with a paladin, and use Consecration, it does work as expected.
Since the Symbiosis buff is the same no matter whom you cast it on, I can't put it as a condition either. So I guess what I'm really asking is, is there a way for "Action Useable" or "Cooldown Ready (Spell)" to check if the spell is actually in your spellbook before it triggers? Or is there any other workaround you can think of?
Thanks, incredible addon!

Using ORCA, I created a transform to permit the
installation via Windows Installer
(required for GPO deployment).
The default action when running the MSI is to alert that
your not using setup.exe. I get around this by changing
the conditions required for Stand Alone actions in the
Execute and UI Sequence tables.
Also; if using the Dell provided Intel Wireless
software for v13.0; the default language is Arabic;
your GPO needs to be set to ignore language settings
for this MSI.
The MSI contains the following:
Property Table:
InstallExecuteSequence Table:
CA_DisplayStandAloneError= SHOW_INTEL_STANDALONE_ERROR="TRUE"
InstallUISequence Table:
SetupStandaloneError= SHOW_INTEL_STANDALONE_ERROR="TRUE"
CA_DisplayStandAloneError= SHOW_INTEL_STANDALONE_ERROR="TRUE"
We were able to just use standard switches on the "Intel PROSet Wireless.msi" During our automation for this deployment we used the following: /qb! REBOOT=ReallySupress and then had a later reboot
Update: 08/27/2010
While this does install the software and it works it did not do the integration we needed for ThinkVantage Access connect. We were forced to use the Autorun.exe /QN method.
You can use /QN on the Autorun.exe to make this package install silently
Example: [Path where the files were extracted]\Autorun /QN
Using this method was the only way we were able to get the seemless integration with ThinkVantage Access Connect to work. But the problem with this method is the Atorun.exe calls a Setup.exe and releases so we needed to build wait times in our script

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP/NEWS CENTER) - School district officials in Albany say they're mulling disciplinary action for a high school English teacher whose writing assignment asked students to make a persuasive argument blaming Jews for the problems of Nazi Germany.
School district spokesman Ron Lesko says Friday that administrators are discussing what official action the 10th-grade teacher at Albany High School could face for the assignment given to students on Monday.
The Albany school district has apologized for the writing assignment that asked students to make the persuasive argument against Jews.
The assignment, reported Friday by the Albany Times Union, asked students to research Nazi propaganda, then assume their teacher was a Nazi government official who had to be convinced of their loyalty.
The assignment tells students they "must argue that Jews are evil."
Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard says she doesn't believe the teacher who handed out the assignment had malicious intent. She says the intent of the assignment was to have students make an argument based on limited information but should have been worded differently.
"We expect teachers to have good judgment, and in this case it was misconceived," said Vanden-Wyngaard.
Sitting alongside of the superintendent Friday was Shelly Shapiro of the Jewish Federation of Northeastern N.Y. Shapiro says while the assignment was very unfortunate, she looks at the situation as a teachable experience.
"I was totally shocked when I learned this morning that anyone would have such an unbalanced lesson for grade students about anti-semitic views," she says. "My position is that we need to help teachers with the difficult lessons in learning about the Holocaust. So that's why I'm so proud of what they're going to do, they're going to work on it and educate about it."
Vanden-Wyngaard says the hardest part of all of this for her to understand is how a teacher asked students to support the notion that the Holocaust was justified.
"If you're going to introduce a potentially difficult lesson, you've got to talk with someone about it prior to doing so," she said.
Vanden-Wyngaard says some type of disciplinary action will be taken, but it is too soon to be specific, since the possibilities fall across a broad spectrum.
A third of the students refused to complete the assignment.
The school district has not named the teacher.

Expenses are mounting surrounding the resignation of Granville County's schools superintendent and the audit that led to his ouster -- and those expenses are coming out of taxpayers' wallets.
Last week, the Granville County school board voted to accept superintendent Tim Farley's resignation on the heels of an audit that claimed he and another administrator received large raises seemingly without formal approval of the school board.
The independent audit, conducted by law firm Brooks Pierce, found "the Board of Education did not always take formal action to approve contracts for administrators, to amend existing contracts, and to extend contracts of some administrators."
School board member Rose Lyon said the board requested the audit because "things didn't seem right at the time."
Among its specifics, the audit claims that on May 7, 2012, the school board unanimously entered into a new contract with Farley, but minutes from the meeting show no reference to a vote on his latest contract.
Following the fallout that resulted from that audit, the board voted 5-2 on June 11 to accept Farley's resignation as well as pay him a one-time payment of $318,000.
For comparison, former Wake County superintendent Tony Tata was paid a little more than $250,000 for his buyout compared to Farley's $318,000.
The cost of the audit was $17,575.65 in the form of three sets of bills submitted by Brooks Pierce
The expenses don't end there, though. After the audit was completed, the board hired an interim attorney, Nick Sojka, to attend its meetings. Sojka travels nearly 3 hours from Laurinburg to Oxford and bills the school system for travel expenses as well as his per-meeting fees.
And should the board decide interim superintendent Dorwin Howard doesn't fit its needs, there will be the cost of a search for his replacement.
Not counting the money paid to Sojka or the potential cost of a superintendent search, Farley's buyout and the expense of the audit cost Granville County taxpayers $335,575.65 -- almost double Farley's annual salary of $193,000, which he said he offered to reduce on two occasions.
"[The board was] a little anxious about the money portrayed in the press," Farley said of a September 2013 board meeting. "We talked and they said, 'Tim, would you consider taking a decrease?' And I said, 'Sure, I don't want to be a divisive force.'"
Then again in April, Farley said he offered to take another pay cut, but he said the board did not respond to his offer.
"I even went to my board in April and said to them, 'I get this, I want to stay in Granville County. I'm happy to talk about a decrease in my salary. Whatever that may look like, we can negotiate that to no end,'" Farley said. "I'm not going to say they refused. I will tell you they did not act on that offer."
School board chairwoman Brenda Dickerson-Daniel said the board would not comment on Farley's offer to take a pay cut in April.
"There is an answer but we're not going to go there," Dickerson-Daniel said.
WNCN has requested copies of Sojka's bills to determine his exact cost. Meanwhile, long-time attorney board attorney Jim Cross remains on the payroll until July 31.
