Milwaukee Offense Leads Way To Split at New Mexico State
Feb. 16, 2013
Box Score: Game 1 | Box Score: Game 2
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee baseball team scored nine unanswered runs to turn a three-run deficit into a 13-8 victory over New Mexico State Saturday afternoon at Presley Askew Field.
The Panthers (2-2) collected 15 hits in the opener but had to settle for the doubleheader split after the Aggies (2-2) took a 16-8 victory in game two.
Sophomore Michael Porcaro led the way in the win, tying career-highs with four hits and three runs batted in while also scoring a pair of runs.
"We did not play our best baseball overall today, that's for sure," Milwaukee head coach Scott Doffek said. "We were not sharp on the mound and the mental energy started to wane on defense. In the first game we did a great job of battling on offense and our bullpen came in and allowed us to pull away."
Freshman Mitch Ghelfi and sophomore Derek Peake both went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI and senior Alex Erdmann also had a multi-hit effort with his 2-for-5 outing. Sophomore Luke Meeteer extended his hitting streak to 23 games in the opener as well. Tanner Rust led the Aggies with a three-hit game.
Milwaukee led 3-0 early after a two-run home run by senior Will Fadness, only to see the Aggies respond with five in the third to take a 5-3 lead. UWM scored once in the top of the fifth on a Porcaro double, but New Mexico State plated two more in its half to seemingly take control at 7-4.
No worries for the Panthers offense so far in 2013, as they got two back in the sixth on RBI's from Porcaro and junior Sam Koenig and then put up a crooked number in the eighth by plating seven runs on five hits.
Peake singled, stole second and UWM had runners on first and third after Meeteer reached on a sac bunt. Another steal by Meeteer and it was Porcaro yet again, singling through the left side to plate one before also stealing second base. Fadness was intentionally walked to load the bases for senior Drew Pearson, who also drew a walk to force home the go-ahead run.
From there the rally just kept growing. An error helped the next run home and Ghelfi followed with a hit to plate another. Erdmann followed suit and Peake doubled in the final run of the inning one batter later.
Sophomore Justin Jaquish (1-0) picked up the victory, coming on in the fifth to pitch 2.2 shutout frames. He allowed just three hits, striking out a pair. Erdmann (1.0 IP) and freshman Jake Tuttle then closed out the victory.
In the nightcap, Milwaukee fell into an early 5-0 hole and could never recover. The Panthers got on the scoreboard in the third when Koenig doubled and Fadness collected an RBI-groundout, but gave one back in the bottom of the fourth to trail, 6-2.
"In game two, Eric King just couldn't find it and we made a couple of miscues that put unnecessary pressure on him," Doffek said. "We know what he is capable of and he just needs to get that going. Strikes can become mental and that's what happened for the staff down here. I look for those guys to bounce back in a big way."
A rally in the fifth nearly made it a new game. Koenig was hit by a pitch and Fadness singled. After a NMSU error, junior Pat Wilson drove in two with a single up the middle. An RBI-groundout plated another and UWM had runners on second and third with two outs, but could do no more damage.
Unfortunately, the Aggies were not done either, scoring twice in the fifth and three more times in the sixth to take control at 11-5. UWM tacked on three in the seventh, but New Mexico State plated five more in the next two innings to go on to the 16-8 victory.
Koenig had two hits and drove in a pair and juniors Ryan Solberg and Tell Taylor each had 2-for-5 outings. Meeteer came up empty, seeing his hitting streak come to an end at 23 games, the fourth-longest in school history.
Sophomore Eric King (0-1) got the start, but pitched only into the second inning in giving up five runs, four earned. He struck out a pair but walked four.
Up next, Milwaukee continues its early season road trip with a journey to Coral Gables, Fla., to take on Miami in a three-game series Feb. 22-24.

Matt Stinchcomb did a lot of good things on the field and off as a football player at Georgia and in the NFL. Now he's trying to see that for similarly-engaged college football players are recognized.
Stinchcomb is a selection committee member of the Allstate/AFCA Good Works Team. It is an organization that seeks to honor college football players who are as successful in community service as they are playing the game.
"The idea behind it is to highlight everything that is good and right about college football and college football players," said Stinchcomb, a former Academic All-American who now works as a college football analyst for ESPN. "I just think it's important to get that message out there in light of all the negative issues and situations that are being covered in college football, especially during this offseason. College football in general is as popular as ever and there are a lot of great things surrounding it. But this is beyond what's on the field. These are kids who play the game well who are also influencing their respective communities in a positive way."
The SEC placed six players on the list of 132 candidates representing all divisions in college football nominated to make the national team. Twenty-two players, two of which will be deemed captains, will be selected.
Georgia senior tight end Aron White is one of the SEC nominees. White has already graduated with a degree in management and was student speaker at UGA's graduation ceremonies this past December. He's participates in Habitat for Humanity, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Camp Kudzu, Camp Sunshine, Boys & Girls Club and several others. He is also interning in UGA's compliance office, among other things. He has also played in 36 games with 16 starts at tight end at Georgia and has caught 25 passes for 411 yards and six touchdowns.
Two other Georgian's were recognized for their "good works:" Albany native Jason Jones, a junior defensive end at Ole Miss; and South Carolina junior running back Kenny Miles, a graduate of Snellville's Brookwood High. Auburn defensive back T'Sharvan Bell; Florida running back Jeff Demps and Kentucky defensive end Jacob Lewellen also were nominated.

The Associated Press
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia —
Malaysia said Tuesday that it has narrowed the search for a downed jetliner to an area the size of Alaska in the southern Indian Ocean, while Australia said improved weather would allow the hunt for possible debris from the plane to resume.
The comments from Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein came a day after the country's prime minister announced that a new analysis of satellite data confirmed the plane had crashed in a remote part of the southern Indian Ocean, killing all 239 aboard.
But the searchers will face a daunting task of combing a vast expanse of choppy seas for suspected remnants of the aircraft sighted earlier.
"We're not searching for a needle in a haystack — we're still trying to define where the haystack is," Australia's deputy defense chief, Air Marshal Mark Binskin, told reporters at a military base in Perth, Australia, as idled planes stood behind him.
There had been two corridors — based on rough satellite data — for the search. Hishammuddin said operations had been halted in the northern corridor that swept up from Malaysia toward Central Asia, as well as in the northern section of the southern corridor that arches down from Malaysia toward Antarctica.
That still leaves a large area of 1.6 million square kilometers (622,000 square miles), but just 20 percent of the area that was previously being searched.
In remarks to the Malaysian Parliament on Tuesday, Prime Minister Najib Razak cautioned that the search will take a long time and "we will have to face unexpected and extraordinary challenges."

Pay attention to your own needs and wants. Listen to what your body, your mind, and your heart are telling you. For instance, if your body is telling you that you have been sitting down too long, stand up and stretch. If your heart is longing to spend more time with a special friend, do it. If your mind is telling you to clean up your basement, listen to your favorite music, or stop thinking bad thoughts about yourself, take those thoughts seriously.
Take very good care of yourself. As you were growing up you may not have learned how to take good care of yourself. In fact, much of your attention may have been on taking care of others, on just getting by, or on "behaving well." Begin today to take good care of yourself. Treat yourself as a wonderful parent would treat a small child or as one very best friend might treat another. If you work at taking good care of yourself, you will find that you feel better about yourself. Here are some ways to take good care of yourself:
You may be doing some of these things now. There will be others you need to work on. You will find that you will continue to learn new and better ways to take care of yourself. As you incorporate these changes into your life, your self-esteem will continue to improve.

Strange questions that humans have not yet found an answer for!
We all have a unique course of action through out our day. Many of the conversation along with our friends or some that we hear from others talking at times surprise us and gets our brain thinking, but only to later ignore saying this might be beyond human reach. Have you come across any such question through your brain or from others which you think humans have not yet explored or researched or any unanswerable question?
Cornelia Valeria
Jul 26 2012: If you look at your life as a free fall through time/space then you will learn how small course corrections will influence the trajectory of your decent. The wake you leave behind affects everything in the universe more then you could ever know.
We are blessed with the ability to consciously make these corrections, while other matter is not. This is why if we live our lives radiating love and tolerance we make the universe a better place for all who inhabit it.
Jul 27 2012: The past is changed by feeling and understanding the content of the past. To do this one must express the sound the body originally wanted to make in response to the feelings which were felt in the past. Sound with out words. Just the raw sound because words have already intellectualized the experience. The body holds the tension which was created in order to block the feelings from being expressed in their raw form. When the body is allowed to express feeling as voluminous sound the vibrations generated releases the body's original tensions which had been inhibiting expression.
This tension release in the tissue of the body simultaneously deepens the memory around the original event and expands ones memory of the past on many levels. This is because with in the numbness that the tension was holding in place is also lost (numb) memory. As the tension is release memory returns.
What could be considered the unknown or unconscious becomes more consciousness, which in turn brings up more feelings for processing through expression. It seems to be a never ending journey into the past until the past is completely processed into consciousness. Life gets a little bit better with each step.
Random Chance 30+Jul 17 2012: Just who is 'WE?'
I'm not spending any money on those things so please don't include me in "we"
That now makes the question, why are "you" spending money on weapons, the military and all those other kinds of things?
If the answer is that you are not, then who is? And why is the aforementioned 'WE' allowing it, since it is all money that comes from them!!
The average citizen of the world wants to live in peace, harmony and with safety, without worry.
Just who is against that? The very people who we look up to, give our power to and we don't even need them to live the way we want. They certainly don't want to live that way, so they are totally irrelevant and we don't need them so we need to get rid of them as means, method and manner of operating in the world.
We continue to believe their lies, we continue to believe in lies rather than truth and we continue to do the same things over and over and expect different results!
Because we are insane.
Aug 12 2012: Are you saying "that the German Government and/or any group (like the European Union) that it is involved in is not do spend money on "Research on outer world and nuclear weapons (military)". For if you live in Germany and pay taxes then you are definitely part of a "We". The people of a country are responsible for allowing anything their government does, even if the people do not know about it. Unless ignorance is a defense, if so then I will stick my head in the sand and then my government can do what ever they like. Maybe if we all started taking responsibly for what those around us do, then some of the negative things that happen wouldn't. And if one believes that everything is a figment of their imagination, then they are personally responsible for all that happens to the figments of their imagination, so those figments should put the punishment onto them for everything that has ever happened in said figments history.
Jul 17 2012: Hi Bharath,
Thanks for the reply.
There is another conversation going on a similar topic, thought you might be interested.
All the Best,
Jul 23 2012: I read your question and found myself wondering what the numbers are
World GDP 70 trillion 2011 (Google, world bank)
World R&D 1.4 trillion projected 2012 (http://www.rdmag.com)
While you can (and should) question what we spend research money on, I don't think you can call the percentage(2%) spent unreasonable.
I am all for switching research $ from entertaining cell phone apps and aircraft carriers to... well, almost anything else. I would defend space research (I assume that's what you mean by outer world) because without it humanity will never gain access to the resources and capabilities needed for long term survival.
That said I think that in a moral world the human race would collectively declare that every person had a legal right to safe food, water, and shelter(a bed to sleep in out of the weather and free from sexual coercion) to start with and to go even further: basic literacy(preferably in a common language as it's hard enough to make peace when you CAN talk to each other), and basic health care(generic antibiotics, vaccinations, stitches... not unlimited access to specialists)
let the individual countries decide their own logistics in fulfilling this minimum, but create a way for people to remove their government for non compliance.
This would cost a lot of money undoubtedly, but It would eliminate the need for countless redundant and ineffectual organizations. Economically it would cause changes but it would create a safer, healthier, and more competitive world workforce

Aug 7 2012: a better question than "where did I put the car ".. Unless you have both questions simultaneously and are standing in a very large parking lot ... late at night ... with big rain clouds hovering menacingly above you.
( Nope ... never happend to me!)
But after a while, (hypothetically) you might start thinking more about a far more serious question:
"Where did they put the bathroom?" but that is another story ...
Aug 7 2012: I have the car part solved, I think. Once I do find my keys, I can use that panic button for a beep to let the car call me. I once really screwed up and tried it in a multi story hosptial parking lot and spent a lot of time wandering around. YIKES!
Now I am becoming obsessive about remembering to the point of writing it on my ticket at airports.

Richard GonoAug 9 2012: I already saw a similar question here (about babies).
Mine is more like an alternative version of it.
"If you are deaf, and were never taught any language (verbal or non-verbal) how do you think?"
I'm asking because a few months ago, when i started reading books in english, my - what should i call it? - my "inner voice" became an englishman. When i think about abstract things i mostly do it in english now.
But what about someone who has never heard a word? Or never seen one? How can they "abstract"? What if the person is blind too? (most unlucky person ever)
You can't think in pictures, you can't think in words you can only think in smells, physical sensations? One silly question.... do you even think?
Aug 10 2012: This reminds me of a joke I recently heard that goes "How do you tell a person who is blind, deaf and dumb that he/she has lost his/her mother?". It is quite hard to imagine how their inner selves communicate with them. I want to risk saying that they do not have "a talking" inner self.
Sophia GraceAug 10 2012: I think in both pictures and voices. I guess people think in the same was they experience the world.
So not so strange question after all.
Aug 10 2012: it would take time, but their brain would use some neural algorithm/code of their interpurited world, wouldnt they. just as you use memories of captured images or sound persepted to construct your conclusions and inturpereted world. (i am a terrable speller~sorry~). This seems kind-of abstract, but i am just a teenager and haven't realy studied pycology.
Aug 1 2012: I believe in mysticism to a degree, and what I want to know is did humanities ancestors (druids, priests, shamans, etc.) actually gain extraordinary abilities at some point. Or is there the possibility of it lying dormant in us all (kind of like an underutilized part of our brain that is not being triggered anymore)
Thought of another one but most people don't know about this stuff:
What information is stored in the oldest library in the world, the Vaticans
Aug 1 2012: Excellent questions.
The scientific approach to knowledge has had huge benefits, and many people believe that one of those benefits has been the retreat of mysticism. But it seems to be a law of nature that everything comes with a price, and we may never know the full price of science. Is it possible that if our ancestors had rejected science and accepted mysticism, we would all have super powers?
Aug 7 2012: Hi Barry,
You are right. The scientific method has shown itself to have great advantage in the pursuit of knowledge.
In the pursuit of that knowledge it is often hidden assumptions about nature which we find in our path. Just like Einstein found that there was no absolute time to nature and all time was relative.
However, science as an institution does not operate free from assumptions, it operates with a limited scope. We cannot therefore fully accept any answer it comes up with since it may be restricted.
Science (particularly pertinent to physics) makes the starting assumption that all comes from the material. In other words there was a big bang which started it all off. But with this assumption in place, we as a race cannot accept that it is a full and only answer as to our origins. Only when this assumption is removed and the big bang is still the answer can we accept it.
You must not think I am a religious fanatic when I say this, I am not. But it is still a very important point I make. Science rules out God by saying it was all started with a big bang, but it is only by virtue of its starting assumption it can do this. Its starting assumption should be telling science that it has no authority to talk about origins. Perhaps our origins are more spiritual. Knowledge, or science, if it is all about the truth, should not be structurally opposed to spirituality as it seems to be today.
Aug 2 2012: It seems most cultures find a way of creating an altered mind state through some kind of hallucinogenic, usually plant or fungus based. Aztecs retained chocolate for their warrior caste. It's a stimulant. Caffeine is a stimulant. Various mushrooms are but many are also toxic. Fasting is a way to induce a trance like state as are the breathing exercises in some meditations. Extreme pain is also a mind altering experience and is used in many initiation ceremonies for young men. Insights might well be arrived at during an altered brain chemistry but would the person remember afterwards or would it just seem like a dream.

Neya KumarAug 15 2012: Why do we have schools, if all they do is to ask you to accept and understand, and measure your intelligence through examinations, when actually it really doesn't measure intelligence but only how much you've remembered/accepted. Why do we learn about circles, log, angles, salts, chemicals, when the chances are you're probably not going to remember them? its not that I don't appreciate school, but why is the global education system like this? is it because it always has been, or are we just too lazy/out of ideas to change it?
-thanks :)
Aug 8 2012: Could someone please explain how the human consciousness works please.
Also, while at it, what exactly does gravity consist of?
Hmm, and has and will the universe be reborn?
Oh, and why can't anything go faster than light?
Finally, the most puzzling one to me...
Why don't we humans do something about climate change now that we know we're causing it and the effects will be much worse than the effort to do something about it?
Aug 9 2012: The best book I ever read on that subject was by a prof named Harry Hunt from an obscure Canadian university (He was originally an American) and it is called "The nature of Consciousness" and if I could honour your request and answer your question, I would but even with more than7 years of education in psychology, I cannot give you one that is satisfactory to myself. Harry's book however, traces all the factors and considers everything from Freudian and Jungian thought to existentialism to altered states - it is a dense but safisfying read.

Aug 7 2012: Ah! The age old question! Most of us have to be content with this expression:" Because the heart wants what the heart wants"
I have a friend right now who is suffering this in a most destructive way. She is in love with a guy who is so bad for her - it is almost unimaginable and yet no matter what anyone says or what she experiences she goes back to wondering why he treats her this way. It is pretty simple really - he can not possibly love her - he has no room to love her for his heart is in love with himself.
I just realized that it is possible everyone thinks it is me. It really isn't.
Juniper Blue 10+Aug 5 2012: With "progress" do we often lose more than we gain? I am thinking about unexpected consequences that result when we (as individuals or as the human race) "progress."
I am thinking about various things like genetically modified grain. We make a trade off when we adopt a genetically modified crop and (often) the risks are not well understood. So, while it may appear that problems will be solved by the use of genetically modified grain, new, more complicated problems are likely to arise over time. Yet, this is progress??
Even in my own life ... I wonder if there are times when I was happier knowing less. There are times when it seems that the more I become aware of, the more I realize how so much is beyond my control. Certainly, it is better ( at least more responsible) to know as much as I can. At the very least, I am then able to do what I can, even if it does not seem like much. It is better than nothing (or at least I hope) but what f I am helping to put more genetically modifed grain out into the world? Will I help to end a famine or merely help to cause a more serious famine in several years?
So, I will ask the impossibly broad question: Are "we" making progress? ( personally and/or globally as human beings)
Debra Smith 200+
Barry Palmer 100+Aug 5 2012: Hello Juniper,
An excellent question.
A century from now historians might be saying that this is the definitive question of the twenty first century.
It is becoming increasing clear that the 'progess' of the last few centuries has run its course and we must, at a minimum, modify our ideas about progress.
Regarding unexpected consequences, our technologies are becoming so powerful that it behooves us to develop a method (in the same sense as the scientific method) to better predict consequences and decide which technologies are just too risky. Technologies like genetic manipulation could possibly wipe out all life on this planet. Wisdom is no longer optional

Aug 13 2012: A thought....
The polio epidemic of my parents generation was directly tied to the spread of indoor plumbing and the ethic of cleanliness propogating through wealthy cultures. It seems there is a bio-immune respose in the body when exposed to feces that has a side effect of reducing succeptability to polio. So... cleanliness is "progress" in the area of general medicine, social encounters, etc... but not in polio avoidance.
The very notion of progress seems to be deceptive to me, when used as an absolute. Conditional progress, i.e. : we are halfway there, the job is almost done, etc... is one thing, but that we are better than our predecessors because we have remote controls and credit cards is a matter of opinion, not fact.
Even social institutions like parenting are open to broad interpretations of progress. Anthropologists might point out that hunter gatherers are known to be caring and attentive parents, and limited to small families. (Two toddler/infants at a time, more and you can not flee from predators). It was the spread of agrarian societies that led to large, labor related, and often abusive families. At the same time, the food surplus allowed for larger families and the diversification of trades. In this example progress in one area is matched by detriment in the other.
Who defines the base factors, on which we might judge and make an absolute statement? You do.
Barry Palmer 100+Aug 1 2012: Suppose there is an alien civilization much like ours on a galaxy thousands of light years away. This civilization is almost identical to us, with similar technology and similar intelligence. Like us, they point their instruments outward and take all manner of measurements of the universe. Because of just one reason, their location, EVERY SINGLE ITEM of their data would be different from our data. With this in mind, what is the probability that they would understand the workings of the universe in the same way that we do? Would they have a theory of relativity? Would their equations match ours?
JEFF D.Aug 1 2012: math seems to be the universal language. they may have different symbols, and methods, and equations, but a lot of their results might be the same as ours. for example their planet may have gravity like ours,--they may not called it gravity, but they would understand it as much as we do.
theory of relativity its good, but its a THEORY. we as species don't really know a lot of FACTS about the universe. and sometimes scientific laws are broken, ( abnormalities that happen here and then in the universe).
that's means we have yet to truly understand the universe, so our theories and hypothesis may be a lot different from them. the only thing we'll have in common will be FACTS--such as gravity. much of our understanding comes from theories and religion on how the universe, and nature works. they might live in a HOLE different world, so their perspective on how things work can be very different. our universe is the same so the answers no matter the form for questions like what is a black hole ? should be the SAME. unfortunately we only have theories---they might only have theories too. if we live in the same universe/dimension there should be ONE answer to such a question. and other questions too.

Tanka PoudelJul 21 2012: IN MY VIEW:
Strange answer for a strange question.
Is questioning every time for every thing necessary or even relevant?
Do answers meet the expectation of the question to end it forever or of the questioner such that the answers become unsatisfactory for new generation?
Is answer that bring about more questions really the answer?
The big question is What is the "answer"?
Tanka PoudelJul 26 2012: if we consider answer as possibility it means we will have multiple choices this brings another form of question to life "Which possibility is the right one?". I don't think questions are ever going to end similarly answers will also evolve but what will be the final answer is not known. In my view, right answer for any question are thoughts which give relief for today and avoid complication for tomorrow.

Jul 20 2012: I completely agree with both queenie and Frans. Arguing with others is not a constructive way to further one's personal life and the global evolution. Self-acceptance and happiness seem to have a correlation with this. Which raises another question, if someone is not pleased with them-self, why do they lash out that anger on others?
Devon LeeJul 21 2012: In defence of arguing it is vital evolutionary tool for self defence. Because even the mundane act of washing the dishes although seen by oneself as a harmless/possitive/neccessary action in your life can be seen in negative light. You may feel that it is important to maintain your standard of living and it is your freedom and liberty to do so.
The flip side to this is that by using water on mere dishes is a waste and its consumption is driving up demand, therefore prices. This can be annoying for some but in a life of poverty having your water cut off can be life changing or ending.
I know this is extreme but you must have a means of defence especially when others don't even know or agree that they are doing wrong. And things like this can lead to wars. Believe it or not there is a purpose for negativity in life, whether I or anybody else likes it or not.
I'm not saying that we should stop trying to eradicate negativity, just understand it. The end fight that we play against negativity or eachother is essentially evolution, which is forever changing and blessedly unbeatable.
P.S i still wash my dishes
Dyed All Hues 30+Jul 17 2012: Is anyone doing research into sound and its applications with other species, eventually finding someway to communicate with other species?
I know of some researchers that record whale calls, but that is just replay of the real sound, a copy of the real animal.
How about being able to make our own whale calls where we understand them and they understand us?
There was a story I heard of an experiment with trees and how they speak by frequencies of some sort?
V AlexanderJul 18 2012: I think we could establish a simplistic dialog with many species, auditory or otherwise, and with sustained interaction of that sort have it slowly develop into more complex dialog, particularly if the species' offspring keep picking up and enhancing (however minutely) where the forerunners left off. The most ideal candidates, dolphins and chimps/monkeys/orangatangs/baboons, would have a working (if sparse) lexicon within the first few years of the first generation. A few generations of sustained interaction would see a much larger lexicon and probably a lot of understood abstractions. Keep going until the neo-species decide they want their own planet -- far, far away from us. :)
We'd be doing ourselves a favor by having non-human perceptive inputs, but do we do them any favors by interrupting their natural ascendency?
Jul 19 2012: I wrote a joke on twitter the other day akin to "Do you ever wonder if animals just don't want to communicate with us? Maybe they teach their kids "Don't get caught up in their nonsense".
It really has always been an odd curiousity of mine, that research hasn't been done into recreating animal languages that seem complex. Robots recording video in natural habitats, replaying sounds, recording responses, it seems like it would be a fascinating field of study.
Good one.

Aug 14 2012: We can draw the conclusion that "intelligence" is cultivatable. However, can we say the same of creative abilities in our minds? Can you literally train a mind to be creative?
"If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't" -Emerson M. Pugh
Aug 14 2012: I believe we can (at least be more creative), but it's more a case removing the restrictions of conventional thinking and conditioning for adults and not imposing these on children. (Coleen's comments hold true)
It would be interesting to see which nations scores tops in a "Creativity Index Measure" and then look at how their educational system functions.
Aug 14 2012: Heather, Juan and Fritzie,
I believe our minds are naturally creative. When we remove the "restrictions of conventional thinking and conditioning", which Juan insightfully recognizes, we open the mind to cultivate, encourage and practice creativity, as Fritzie insightfully suggests. It is a matter of having an open mind and heart with the intent to explore with curiosity.

Ben MoulsonAug 14 2012: I think from the time we're brought into the world until the time when we're ready to leave the confines of the environment from which we were moulded, is the time where we MUST be curious, we have no choice, we know nothing other than what we're being told, so we're constantly yearning for more information to establish our own sense of our surroundings. The question you brought up "why do we become less curious" is such an important question we all have to ask ourselves. Once we have our own idea of how things are, is that really where life stops? No, we had no control over the environment we were brought up in therefor we have no control over what we've come to know as life. We become less curious as we become more content with "that's just the way things are" Each one of us though, has the power to stay curious.
Aug 14 2012: Billal and Ben,
Curiosity seems to be very natural for us when we are children. As we become adults, however, curiosity seems to be a choice. We are told to "grow up", and sometimes that translates into leaving behind, all the qualities that children have naturally....including curiosity.
I agree Ben, that from the time we come into the world, until the time we leave, we have an opportunity to be curious. Some folks get stuck in the "this is the way it is" belief, and stop exploring the life adventure. Some folks get comfortable with what they think they "know", and stop exploring. Some folks get complaisant.
Whatever the reason for lack of curiosity, I observe that these are the people who are not as content with life...these are often the people who are searching for something outside themselves. Curiosity is from within, and it leads to more enjoyment and contentment throughout the life experience....in my humble perception and experience:>)
Mark Hurych 10+Aug 13 2012: Arthanari
How can humanity morph into the über-humanity necessary to address global challenges together. We have more than enough resources; we have more than enough technology and good will.
When I look at the the murmuration of swallows, I see a metaphor for the kind of cooperative empathic energy that might move humanity for the long-term thriving of all. It's not a spiritual vision, but a design, and one that needs hope, insight, sharing, and nurturing. Something like this could make all the difference. I don't think it's political. Bucky Fuller used to talk about the future in a way that invited this kind of action.
So there's my question. How do we do this thing?
Unfortunately, there are more than enough blogs and likes and comments and articles and speeches ranting or even calmly explaining why this is not reasonable. I'd rather ask why not.
Please don't bother to comment unless you have ideas that help us move forward.
Hmm. I might sound harsh. Anthropocene effects are harsh and are probably going to hurt the yet unborn generations more than us the living. So I don't apologize, but I long for the non-zero sum game to begin afresh, with new eyes, passion and empathy.
Thank you, Arthanari, for providing such space for such a forum.

ilie ioanaAug 13 2012: That is the root of curiosity that leads to evolution. Thinking that nobody thought of it , makes you wonder deeper than if you knew the answer came from somebody else. It's like why do dogs chase cars, or why do we hiccup , or agape , or why my hands gets wrinkles in water ...and of course if you stop at why , and don't research ,is bad , but if you find out that nobody answerd and you stop there is even worst.
What gave colors their names , why is RED so red , and Blue called blue , how cand indigenous people speak languages without the use of words but by just making sounds that are imperceptible tu us, as an evolved community ,etc.
Aug 13 2012: Not exactly the same , but if you ask someone to describe the color red , a great majority will use terms like warmth , love , lava , sun , heat , beauty , passionate , etc . I can't think of someone using cold , or peaceful , or purity , anger , maddnes or evil, although Hell is often been described a ocean of red melted lava.

Aug 10 2012: Jen,
It's been a long time since my kids were little, and when they asked me questions I could not answer, I sent them to the dictionary, or encyclopedia. Now you can send them to the computer for exploration!!!
They could then come back to me and give ME the answer, which encouraged them to explore even more and empowered them to know that they can find the answer to their questions themselves. I also liked giving them answers if I had the answer, and I liked telling them "I don't know"....maybe you can find the answer for both of us. Kids are very delighted when they can supply information to the parent:>)
My "children" are now in their 40s and still happily exploring the life adventure with curiosity and enthusiasm....as am I:>)
Aug 12 2012: Babies think in emotions and sensations. Love, safe, hunger, poo, etc.... adults often do as well. Think about it the next time you have that "Ahhhh...." that comes with a good B.M.
The color you see is determined by the interaction of the wavelength of light, a specific frequency and amplitude for each color, with the cones of your eye. This is a process of chemistry and physics that can be replicated and demonstrated.
Perception is another matter. The number of primary colors in your brains palette is slightly variable, though not by much. Most colors are cross cultural, but some have fuzzy borders. There is a green/blue "grue" that is percieved as a seperate primary color by some, but not seen as different at all by others. It is kind of like linguistics. The sounds of the language you are raised in are dominant, so you may not even hear certain sounds in other languages. Having a name like "Ian" on a trip to Japan demonstrates this.
So, we all see the same colors the same way, but how we translate that to words, ideas, art, etc... can be as different as pornography and picasso.

Tracks are offered in conjunction with affiliated departments, and allow students to gain an in-depth specialization within a specific department or program, while simultaneously benefiting from the interdisciplinary training offered by the International Studies major.
Students pursuing a track will receive a double major in International Studies and in the affiliated department or program, and will benefit from a faculty advisor in the affiliated department or program.
If you are interested in declaring a track, please contact the appropriate coordinator as soon as possible.
We offer the following tracks:
Global Social Change and Development Track
The track in Global Social Change and Development (GSCD) is geared towards International Studies students interested in understanding critical issues surrounding contemporary processes of globalization and international development. The track provides students with a sophisticated set of research and critical-thinking skills, prepares students for twenty-first century professions and helps them to become thoughtful global citizens. Ultimately, students pursuing the Global Social Change and Development track will receive a double major in both International Studies and Sociology.
Key themes addressed in the track include:
Global inequality and development;
Shifts in the global distribution of economic wealth and political power and its implications for international development;
Urbanization, migration and development;
Land, labor and environmental rights and struggles;
The crisis of welfare states and the rise of a politics of austerity; and
The degree to which we as individuals and groups can influence global social change.
The GSCD track allows students to pursue a focused course of study while still benefiting from the interdisciplinary education provided by the International Studies major, which draws on the strengths of the Johns Hopkins University faculty in diverse fields including Sociology, Political Science, History, Economics, Foreign Languages and Anthropology.
The GSCD track provides interested undergraduate students with a pathway into the Research Working Groups of the Arrighi Center for Global Studies by teaching the methodological and theoretical tools necessary to effectively collaborate with faculty and graduate students in Research Working Groups. Students who are interested in participating in Arrighi Center Research Working Groups should consult with their faculty advisor about how to prepare themselves.
For more information on the track, approved courses and how to declare the double major, please visit the Global Social Change and Development Track website.
Germany in a Globalized World Track
Jump to:
Declaring the GGW Track | Contact | Academics | Honors Information | Courses
The new track Germany in a Globalized World (GGW) is geared to students of International Studies who are interested in developing in-depth knowledge of German language, literature and culture with a special focus on (trans)cultural analysis and critical thought. Ultimately, students pursuing the Germany in a Globalized World track will receive a double major in both International Studies and German.
Germany's status as one of the world's largest export economies and its geographical position at the center of Europe make it an ideal case for studying the history and dynamics of globalization. Situated at the crossroads of East and West, Germany has long been the site of a diverse polyglot culture that draws as much from the traditions to its east as it does from the institutions to its west. Such economic, political, intellectual, and linguistic interaction have made Germany into the cultural capital of Central Europe—a distinction that it has held to this day, but which grows out of the vast reach of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the nineteenth century, when Habsburg rule stretched from present-day Ukraine to northern Italy. For much of the twentieth century, German was the lingua franca of Central and Eastern Europe, and even today cities like Berlin and Vienna remain cosmopolitan centers, where innovation meets tradition and the demand for integration meets cultural difference in a lively mix that is symptomatic of a globalized world.
Students who declare the GGW track will develop their German language skills in order to understand the specific contributions of Germany to issues of large contemporary and historical concern. In a broader perspective, these contributions include the unique legacy of German thought. This extensive intellectual tradition has had a substantial impact on political theory, history, sociology, and economics: i.e. on those disciplines which are fundamental for pursuing a major in International Studies. Indeed, current approaches to understanding social phenomena would not have been possible without the German intellectual tradition which, beginning with the Enlightenment, emphasized the role of the subject in constituting knowledge of the world.
In an increasingly interconnected world, such knowledge must account for multi-faceted cultural differences and a rapidly changing media environment. The GGW track invites students to explore cultural diversity through the lens of German language and thought and provides them with interpretative skills to critically analyze this diversity in regard to different modes of representation (news media, political discourse, literature, philosophy, film). From this perspective, each kind of Weltanschauung proves to be deeply embedded in cultural settings. International discourse and successful conflict resolution – communicative instruments so vital to a globalized world – thus fundamentally depend on expertise in the critical analysis of cultural diversity and its media.
Key topics and themes include:
- German history, politics, and culture in an international perspective
- German language, literature, and thought
- The constitution of social meaning through language and other media
- Intercultural differences in a changing global environment
- Language and identity
German at Hopkins is a small but intensely active and well-known program. An excellent student-faculty ratio assures close, personal attention and individualized advising. Juniors benefit from our participation in the Berlin Consortium of German Studies (BCGS), one of the most prestigious German study abroad programs in the United States which allows International Studies majors to directly enroll at one of the three Berlin universities and take courses in the humanities, social and political sciences. BCGS also assists students with finding internships in fields of their interests.
The Germany in a Globalized World track coordinators will be happy to answer any questions about the track:
Sydney Van Morgan (email@example.com), Director, International Studies.
Professor Andrea Krauss (email@example.com), Director of Undergraduate Studies, German Program/Department of German and Romance Languages and Literatures
Declaring the GGW Track
IS students wishing to declare the GGW track must complete the following steps:
- Declare German as their second major by completing an "add major" form, which can be obtained at the Registrar's Office
- Make an appointment with Professor Krauss to officially declare the GGW track and have her sign off on your German major form
Students will be required to demonstrate language proficiency equivalent to the completion of Advanced German.
In addition to the language requirement, and the remaining requirements for the International Studies major, students will take a total of seven courses to complete the GGW track. These courses, which may be double-counted towards the International Studies major requirements, must be selected from an approved list that will be published each semester.
Five of the seven courses must be seminars taught in German. With the consent of the Director of Undergraduate Studies (Prof. Krauss), one of these five courses can be replaced by an English-taught seminar selected from the list of approved courses. Students who complete the GGW track will also receive a major in German.
Honors Information
Students may graduate with honors in International Studies and German.
To graduate with honors in International Studies and German, you must complete an Honors Clearance Checklist by April 1st in the year you expect to graduate in May. Most commonly, this means by April 1st of your senior year. Failure to submit this checklist by this date will mean that you will not receive honors in your major.

I just caught KOA again tonight. Only this time signal was fairly strong and clear for several minutes until it became lost in noise.
Also WTDY on 1670 in Madison, Wisconsin using 1KW power at night, which was a NEW one for me....and WEUV 1700 with blues and gospel music in Huntsville Alabama.
I also have been hearing a station that is probably not to far from me that I hear every night, and cant seem to identify. They speak in French and the frequency is 860. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Rick Santorum, who prides himself on being a top-notch communicator, is seen in this clip from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina comparing the current health care system to "food insurance." He suggests that like a universal food program that provides nearly free food, universal health care will encourage waste, inefficiency, and over treatment. And while we certainly have to modernize programs like Medicare and Medicaid and change the incentives for providers, it's difficult to attribute all of the programs' rising costs to seniors gulping up oodles of "free" care. Watch it:

No one can say that Madonna is not fit. She's perhaps a little too fit; I personally find her gaunt frame and stringy muscles kind of terrifying and want to feed her a coney or something (they're the local delicacy here in Detroit, where both she and I are from).
So I guess she's as good a celebrity as any to open her own chain of gyms worldwide. She's teamed up with the guys who founded 24 Hour Fitness Clubs to create Hard Candy Fitness. The first one will open in November in a posh neighborhood of Mexico City.
Aside from the weirdness of associating candy with fitness, these sound like pretty nice gyms, and Madonna will be very involved in their design. She's drawing on her experience working out in gyms all over the world during tours. According to the press release, they'll have:
... a Bike Studio [and] a Mind Body Studio featuring The Great Wall, where members can practice BarWorks, Sculpting, Capoeria, and the newest trends in Yoga. It will also house a healthy alternative Juice Bar/Cafe.
The cardio and weight equipment sound pretty fancy as well, and the press release says they'll be adding classes that are developed exclusively for Hard Candy.
So far it doesn't look like there are plans to open up any US locations. I'd think about joining if one were to open in my town, as long as they could help me avoid going all "stewing hen" like Madonna as I age ... and from affecting a British accent, which I cannot mock enough. Lady, you are from Michigan. You are fooling no one.

That is a strange name for a gym.
They sound nice.
Um, no thanks!
Nah...bet it'll cost a FORTUNE....I'll stick to my planet fitness....no one cares WHAT you "look" like there ;)
I'll stick to the FREE military base gym for me. That is a very strange name for a fitness club and I bet it'll be very pricey.
She is trying to forget she came from Michigan.....especially Bay City.

The Water Alternative: Birthing Tubs
It only took three pushes for her son, Fischer, to be born. Her husband caught the baby and brought him up out of the water. They called their midwife and after a quick verbal check of the baby, the midwife told them to put down the phone and enjoy the moment. By the time everyone else returned, her midwife had examined Formas and the baby, and Fischer had even nursed.
"In short, there was less pain, more relaxation, less need for episiotomy, an easy way to keep the baby warm, a comfortable place for him to nurse immediately after he was born, and extremely easy clean-up," Formas says. "It was amazing to be surrounded by our family and bring this new life into our home and into the world."
She encourages other women interested in water birth to research and do everything possible to become educated on the procedure. Formas wouldn't have her birthing experience any other way and thinks it's important for women to know they have options.
"Go online, watch videos, speak with doctors, nurses, midwives, and doulas, and especially other mothers who have given birth both in and out of water," she says. "Follow your heart and do whatever is right for you and your family."
Expert's Note: "Although the idea of handling the delivery of the birth is somewhat romanticized here, I would caution not to attempt an unattended home delivery!!"—Dr. Beth Iovinelli

I recently received an email from a reader that wishes to remain anonymous. He asks "Who do you think would be a better undrafted free agent signing for the Dallas Cowboys, a werewolf or Bigfoot?"
I immediately went to my Cowboys' schedule and calendar and saw that none of the night games were during a full moon. So, I was inclined to answer Bigfoot. But then I remembered the movie "Teen Wolf". I will provide more on that after I address the weaknesses of Bigfoot as an NFL player.
Despite his ability to elude detection all these years, I feel that Bigfoot is just a big dumb beast. Because of this, he would be very difficult to coach. Sure, you could hand him the ball every play and he would not be tackled.
But, will he run the right direction, will he stay in bounds, will he wait for the snap count and will he be in the right position for the handoff? Can he be taught how to properly carry the ball? Will he attack the ref if he blows the whistle at him? Will the NFL consider him an animal and not even allow him to play?
A werewolf like the one in "Teen Wolf" on the other hand would be a great player. This type of werewolf can turn it on and off at will, no full moon required. So he would be at his very best on game day.
And, as in the movie, he retains many human characteristics like his intellect, language skills and, just as important, his hands and the ability to walk upright.
He would not be banned from the league, because he is just a very hairy human. He would be the ultimate running quarterback, as well have having the strongest arm in the NFL. He would be able to play on defense too.
As a middle linebacker, he would lead the league in sacks and tackles and likely not even let the other team score.
Wolves and dogs are related so, if the Cowboys signed such a player, I would eagerly await our games against Michael Vick and the Eagles. Anyway, my answer to the reader was werewolf, hands down.
I am sure that once this story is published, the Cowboys' staff will begin searching for such a candidate, but I am not sure they know where to look.
Problem, there is likely more than one, so every team will want one.

01/1993 (BGVN 18:01) Landslides and steam emissions triggered by earthquakes
Landslides and steam emissions on Wurlali volcano were triggered by MM IV-V earthquakes near the [island]. About 4,000 people fled the area, and one of the evacuees died of shock. Staff from VSI observed small landslides and cracks in house walls. There was no volcanic activity observed following the landslides, but the usual white plumes continued to rise 30-50 m above the crater. Tectonic earthquakes were continuing at rates of 14-32/day on 8 February.
Information Contacts: W. Tjetjep, VSI.
Wurlali volcano, also known as Damar, is the SW-most historically active volcano in the Banda arc. The 868-m-high andesitic stratovolcano was constructed at the northern end of a 5-km-wide caldera on the eastern side of Damar Island in the Banda Sea. Fumarolic activity occurs in the twin summit craters and on the SE flanks, producing exploitable sulfur deposits. An explosive eruption in 1892 is the only known historical activity.

|Wurlali volcano (also referred to as Damar), seen here from Cape Wilhelmus on the north, is part of Indoneisia's Banda Island chain. The 868-m-high stratovolcano was formed in the northern part of a 5-km-wide caldera, and has twin summit craters. During historical time only a single explosive eruption occurred, in 1892 from the summit crater.

Hello There!
So nice to see you!
I've pretty much stopped text-posting, so now it's mostly gifs and pictures of sports, movies, video games, and general miscellany... Hope you enjoy. Much Love.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
And now, the weather!
I'm not ready to be a shotgun-wielding dad!
First off: I'm typing from my phone, layed up in bed sick to my stomach and with a blaring headache, so apologies. However, onwards we move…
This year, I again would like to say how thankful I am for a few things:
-My friends. Although I hate picking favorites, Vienna and Angelo are in a different class this year. But all of my friends are special and dear to me, and I love them all.
-My family. Thanks for dealing with me when I was a total dickish teenage boy, blinded by a false sense of independence. I love you guys.
-My health. Hey, I'm not dead, right?
-My girlfriend. Who's in Germany right now! Jerk :P
And lastly,
-A soft bed, and homecooked meals. God I missed those things.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope you all had a good one. And for those of you who aren't American, Happy Thursday :)

SPOKANE, Wash. – Spokane Elder Services staff estimate that there are more than 56,000 people in our area who care for another adult at home. On Tuesday, a small percentage of them were scheduled to get recognition and resources at the 13th annual Family Caregiver Conference at the Lincoln Center in Spokane.
Bob Lininger, 80, and his wife, Jeanine, 83, have been together for 44 years. Jeanine, a former charge nurse at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center, was diagnosed with a rare form of dementia back in 2001. Ever since then, it has slowly progressed, taking more and more of Jeanine's memory.
Bob is her full-time caregiver. He helps her with everything every day, from doing her hair, to reminding her the order in which to apply her makeup. He said it's hard watching your best friend lose the ability to do things.
"I like very strong, independent ladies, which she definitely is – or was – before the dementia set in," Bob Lininger said. "But she still has her beautiful personality and a sense of humor."
He said he never realized resources existed for full-time home caregivers like him. But once he learned of Elder Services, he joined a monthly support group, which he said has been a lifesaver.
On Tuesday, Bob planned to join about 200 other caregivers at the Family Caregiver Conference, where he could ask questions and share thoughts with other community members who share his sentiments of providing care out of love.
"It's somebody that I love very much," Bob said. "If the situation were reversed, she'd be right there taking care of me. And I know that. There's no doubt in my mind."
Elder Services encourages home caregivers in the Spokane area to contact them at (509) 458-7450.

"My experience with ABBHH for research has been an extremely positive one. Everyone has shown compassion, understanding and concern for all aspects of my health. All staff has educated me on every aspect of this study and each of them has been reliable and helpful throughout this study. The most memorable experience has been one in which I felt totally safe and understood. Not many people can understand what an individual with this serious illness has or had to deal with most of their lives, but I must say that it is the first time in my life where they truly understood. Dr. D'Agostino Sr., has been most understanding, as well as all of the staff. They all understood with compassion, which is very difficult to do. They never judged and always tried to make you feel that, although you had this illness, they were willing to do everything they could to help.I sincerely appreciate all of them on the team."
