I've Got A Feeling I'm Falling
Now that Midem has faded into a blizzard of press releases and Carlton bar tabs, we can safely say that the quote of the week belonged to Ianl Hogarth, of Songkick, who called Midem 2011 "a year of transition." Indeed.
This is a little like describing a person who has fallen off a bridge, but has not yet hit the water, as being in "transition". It might also be described as plummeting to one's demise.
In his rather amusing description of Midem's first official "Hack Day", an attempt at acknowledging the music business's new, technology-based innovators, he recounts the challenges of presenting his company's new developments, along with those of other young music/tech firms, in a final presentation at the Majestic Hotel. Despite being one of the three primary hotels around which Midem is centered, the Majestic was apparently unable to provide WiFi. For a technology demonstration, mind you. On the other hand, if you'd like a $25 glass of orange juice, they've got that covered.
I think Midem may be just about done.
Attendance this year at the conference plunged once again, and especially in America, Midem felt almost non-existent. The annual pilgrimage of lawyers and label execs to Cannes has slowed to a trickle—fewer deals are being done there, and the ones that are done there don't justify three nights at the Majestic. It's hard to imagine one or two European albums from last year that generated enough money to cover the costs of sending four or five A&R people to Midem. The whole event has become overblown, needlessly expensive, and woefully out of date (coming next year: WiFi!)
It is, I fear, a perfect symbol of the music industry itself. It too is in a state of "transition", and it looks like 2011 is the year where it may take the final plunge and hit bottom. Sales in 2010 fell by more than 15% for yet another year, and even digital sales have started to flatten out. This can't go on forever. Here are a couple of predictions that are not exactly going out on a limb:
1. There will not be four major music corporations at the end of this year.
Of course, EMI is the most obvious choice for the chopping block, but now it appears that Warner may be sold as well. Or they may buy EMI. Unless EMI goes bankrupt. Or maybe KKR will buy all of them. Who knows? Someone is going bye-bye and it will mean a major upheaval in terms of A&R staff, artist rosters, new signings, and (I dare to predict) royalty payments. Have you ever watched two elephants mating on one of those television wildlife programs? These mergers are never pretty.
Meanwhile, we can also probably expect to see many of the major label imprints fall by the wayside. Def Jam/Island looks likely to either disappear or to be split apart, Epic is an Amanda ghost of it's former self, and Virgin may have already shut down (and someone forgot to send the memo).
2. The major label "A&R" executive will officially go on the endangered species list. If you see one, be gentle and if you can, give them a job.
There was a rather ominous letter that came out along with this month's edition of the A&R Registry that outlined the real scope of the blood-letting in the A&R community over the past several years. Rich Esra at Music Registry has been tracking the massacre for some time now—check out the article below from TJ Chapman which quotes some of Rich's numbers.
These are not the kind of statistics that you want to trot out for the kids at Career Day.
It's clear that most of the large companies have realized that the discovery and nurturing of talent is better done in a much more hospitable and economical setting than 550 Madison Avenue or Rockefeller Center. Managers, producers, and "consultants" have become the talent scouts and the record makers. The old-school A&R "star-maker" now exists only on television talent contests.
3. The collection crew for music publishers and songwriters is next on the downsizing list. If you've got money in the pipeline, be prepared for some leaks.
Across Europe, the various local societies responsible for collecting income in their respective countries have reached a crisis point. Year after year of drastic income drops, new pressure from the European Union to compete with each other for top writers and catalogs, and the ever-escalating paperwork demands have made it a foregone conclusion that GEMA, SACEM, BUMA/STEMRA, SIAE and the like cannot all survive. Consolidation is inevitable. If you thought it was hard to put two major music corporations together, try a marriage between mechanical rights societies across international borders—with all their language, cultural and copyright differences.
The even scarier thing is that Harry Fox Agency, the primary mechanical rights collection organization in the US, is only slightly more stable than its counterparts across the ocean. If HFA is forced to raise its commission significantly, and it's hard to see how it can avoid it, sooner or later, one of the major companies is bound to pull out. If that happens, the whole collective enterprise could quickly come tumbling down.
Transitions are a tricky business. With so much tough news, it would be easy to toss in the towel. But the point of a transition is that we are going somewhere—even if the ultimate destination is not yet clear. It's always easier to predict the impending disasters than pinpoint the new opportunities.
But if you're starting your career in music now, or trying to continue it, you don't have the luxury of waiting until things are more settled. We're all living our lives in the here and now. So what can you do to manage the change, and maybe even make it work in your favor? If the old order is passing away, what are the new realities to build around? Here's four pillars to get you started:
1. Small-time is the new big-time. This is now a business of entrepreneurs.
It's not just that things have down-sized, and big companies have become small. It's a change in the kind of people that will become the power-brokers of the industry over the next decade. They will not be corporate executives, lawyers or people who worked themselves up through the ranks of the labels' marketing or radio promotion departments. They will be talent-finders and developers, creators, and start-up guys—producers, managers, songwriters, indie label owners, app and game designers, and others who are willing to invest in their own big idea and sell it to others.
Not good news for those looking for a steady salary and benefits. But it will be a hell of a lot more fun than working in the Alice-in-Wonderland world of the modern major music corporation. To plot a career in the music business of tomorrow (and I'm talking the near-future), you'll need to be willing to get entrepreneurial.
2. If you're not entrepreneurial, go work for the phone company.
No, literally. If all things considered, you'd happily opt for the safety of a large company, but still want to be in the business of music, you'd probably be better off at Nokia than at Sony. Because of the growth in mobile entertainment via the phone networks, particularly in difficult to monetize markets like Asia and Eastern Europe, the telephone networks are poised to become some of the most important big players in the music world.
Look at Verizon's recent purchase of Terremark, a technology company focused on cloud-based services. In many ways, companies like Verizon, Nokia, T-Mobile and others are the new gatekeepers—as alternatives like Pandora and Sirius reduce the power of commercial radio, access to a young, taste-making audience will increasingly flow through the mobile networks. The communications business will be a key breeding ground for the next generation of entertainment executives.
3. There's a lot of people lolling around in the talent pool. Use 'em.
With so much consolidation in the industry, there is a wealth of good, experienced, savvy people floating around out there. While no one wants to take advantage of people when they're down, many extremely talented A&R people, radio promoters, music publishers, lawyers and others would be eager to come in as a consultant or part-time help for an exciting young company that they believed in—at least until they can put the next pieces of their life together. If you're starting your own company and you're running into challenges, you can be sure that there are people out there who have seen those problems before. There's never been a time when expert advice was as plentiful and affordable as it is right now. Take advantage of it.
In the same way, the emergence of the D-I-Y model in the music world has led to thousands of start-up companies offering alternatives for everything from tipsheets to radio promotion to video production. Many of these companies will never turn a profit and will be gone within a few years. But while they're here, why not use them as much as you can? Watch my Twitter posts at:
I regularly try to highlight new companies that I come across. There should be a couple coming up just this week…
4. When it comes to money, consider an enforcer.
As much of a proponent as I am of the "independent" model, some of the problems on the horizon for collecting and distributing royalties are going to cause real pain to small, songwriter-owned publishing companies. The merging of societies in Europe, and the possible disintegration of HFA could leave money in limbo all over the world, and that's not an easy challenge for any new start-up venture to surmount.
If you have money being generated by your music now, or if there is going to be money in the "pipeline" in the next 12 months, I might suggest that you explore the possibilities of finding a larger company with whom to partner, at least on an administration or collection basis. It doesn't need to be a major company (in fact, it probably shouldn't be). You just need someone who is sufficiently stable and established to be able to fight for your money, and to be part of any settlements or class-action lawsuits that may arise. Happily, there is a reasonably good selection of small and mid-size publishers, some who specialize in administration or collection. Provided you can show that there is significant income out there to be collected, someone will be happy to partner with you and help you get your money. In times like these, it's sometimes good to have a bigger, stronger friend in your corner.
I had lunch last week with an old friend who reminded me that this is not the first time in our careers that we've seen the music business "in transition". Back in the early 1980's, when I was first entering the industry, the business was in a shambles— with falling sales, lay-offs, and dire predictions for the end of the world as we know it. All was saved by the advent of the CD, "Thriller" and MTV.
The point of a transition is to pass through it—and that means adapting, and re-adapting as fast as you can. As frightening as they are, even the current challenges can be surmounted. You just have to think strategically. Don't fall off that bridge. Dive.

Recipe by Linda
"A perfect way to use leftover turkey. This pie tastes yummy, and will feed up to eight hungry people."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 recipe
pastry for a (10 inch) double crust pie
4 tablespoons
butter, divided
1 small
onion, minced
2 stalks
celery, chopped
carrots, diced
3 tablespoons
dried parsley
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
2 cubes
chicken bouillon
2 cups
potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 1/2 cups
cubed cooked turkey
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
My mouth was watering to try this recipie and as it cooked and baked it looked delicious but when I served it the crust was a disaster, the only way I can describe it was glue. The only explaination I could think of was my filling was boiling when I poured it in the crust and topped it. So I made another one (I think a failed recipie is a challenge and I keep trying to prove I can do it!) and this time let the filling cool before filling the crust and it turned out Perfect! My husband loved it and the kids at least picked out the turkey, no vegatables for them!
First I want to say thank you to the original poster and that I loved the flavor of this recipe so much I wanted to make it again but with a few important changes. As stated by some others, this pot pie has no sauce to it and that's a must for me. So I exchanged milk for cream and doubled the quantity to 1 cup. There is no measurement for potato in the recipe, and it needs it. The first time I used 3 small russets and it was far too much so I changed that to 1.5 cup cubed potato. I used turkey stock from the boiled turkey carcass and it made a noticeable improvement. I increased the amount of turkey from 1.5 cups to 2.5 cups and slightly increased the amount of flour to 4 Tbs. I also used torn pieces of turkey instead of cubed but that's just a personal preference and shouldn't affect the flavor. With these modifications the result was a perfect pot pie with a creamy sauce and great flavor. You may wish to slightly increase the seasoning to compensate for the additional turkey. Pre-baking the bottom crust for 5-6 minutes is a must as the filling is now more liquid.

Crust is the key thing in this recipe. I've made it twice with 2 different store-bought crusts and one time it was amazing, the next time it was disgusting. I'll stick with the refrigerated crusts that come folded up. The filling is fabulous and doesn't come out super runny like I expected. Will make this every time I have leftovers to use up, whether it's turkey, chicken, or roast. Excellent recipe!
A delicious recipe for leftover turkey. I didn't feel like making another pie crust, so I greased the bottom of my pan and used leftover stuffing as a topping. It was great! My child and husband loved it!
My husband is extremely picky about his pot pies and he LOVED this so much he asked me to make it again with beef tonight. I made a few changes. I used the onion and the celery but for the rest of the veggies I used half a bag of frozen corn, peas, carrots, and string beans. I only used one boullion cube and 1 cup of water. I cubed the potatoes pretty small and after the veggies and potatoes were cooked I added a jar of Homestyle turkey gravy. I also used about 2 cups of cubed turkey. I baked the bottom crust for 10 minutes while the filling was cooling and then covered with the top crust. I sprayed the top crust with butter cooking spray to give it a little more color. It came out perfect. My husband ate almost half the pie.
This turned out really well and is a great use for that leftover dark meat that never tastes as good reheated. I followed another reviewers advice and used leftover stuffing as the top crust and it turned out beautifully. I also used leftover turkey broth instead of the chicken boullion. I was a little hesitant about the spices, but the flavor was good. I may use a little less parsley next time just for looks and add a little poultry seasoning for a little extra "turkey" flavor. One warning, though. This makes a BIG pot pie. The recipe calls for a 10 inch pie pan (which I don't have) so I used a medium casserole dish and it still filled to the brim and spilled over a little while cooking. Just be sure to put some foil under the dish to catch spills!
Good flavor but no sauce to speak of which brought gripes from my boyfriend, we had leftovers plus extra filling so last night I carefully scooped out the filling from the leftover pie into a large sauce pot, added the extra filling I had set aside and stirred in a can of family sized Campbell's cream of chicken soup (w/enough milk to bring the whole lot to the right consistency) heated it through and served it over the warmed pie crust -that did the trick - it was delicious and tasted even better than the pies from the famous Chicken Pie Shop of San Diego. Definitely add the soup - it makes this recipe perfect and earns it that 5th star. I also used the flaky butter crust, it was a perfect compliment and had the best flavor of any crust I've ever made.
Best pot pie I have ever had! I used two tsps of chicken base instead of bouillion cubes. And then I added about another cup (maybe less) of water & another 1/2 tsp of chicken base so there would be more gravy. I did add some frozen peas but I did not add any salt because my turkey was well seasoned .... & I didn't add the spices until I added the turkey because I didn't want to cook all the flavor out. Used a homemade pie crust...YUMMY! Thansk Linda!!!

Damascus High School senior Zach Bradshaw stood in his shoulder pads with his arms exposed to the chilling winds and shivering on the field at the Prince George's Sports & Learning Complex after Friday's Army National Guard Crab Bowl, a senior all-star football game.
It was the final game of his high school tenure and he wore an unfamiliar black jersey as a member of the Washington team, but a familiar Damascus helmet, which also had Sherwood and Quince Orchard stickers on it.
Despite the final score — Washington lost 28-7 to Baltimore — Bradshaw said it wasn't about winning or losing this game, a sentiment many, if not all, of the players shared.
"I wanted to win, but this one doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things," said Bradshaw, a University of Virginia recruit, who added that this was the coldest game he's ever played in. "We were just out here having fun. Even though we lost, I still enjoyed it."
With winds blowing hard enough to take out a kicking net during the National Anthem and temperatures in the high 30s, Baltimore used its massive offensive line to open large running holes while running up the score.
Baltimore finished with a combined 177 rushing yards, predominantly running out of the shotgun formation, while scoring a touchdown in each quarter.
Baltimore now trails Washington 3-2 in the series.
Baltimore and Gov. Thomas Johnson quarterback Heath Dahlgren had the biggest play of the day, throwing into the wind for a 71-yard touchdown to Isaiah Gills, who ran a streak down the right sideline.
"Throwing with the wind was really easy, but throwing against it was kind of hard," Dahlgren said. "The play kind of broke down, I rolled out of the pocket and I saw a guy wide open so I threw it down there. Somehow it got through the wind and made it down there. But he made a great catch and a great run after the play."
Washington and Seneca Valley running back James Jones-Williams led all rushers with 80 yards. Washington moved the ball effectively at times, but three drives were cut short due to turnovers — one lost fumble and two interceptions.
Comprised of players from high schools throughout the state, the teams started practices on Monday, using simplified playbooks to get everyone on track quickly.
After breaking the ice on Monday, the players bonded quickly.
"This is a great squad to be a part of," said Frederick Douglass senior lineman D'Sean Cummings, who is verbally committed to play at Towson. "I love these guys. We've only been together for a week, but it feels like I've known these guys forever."
With college next, Bradshaw said this was a good way to get ready for what to expect next season.
"I think it's going to be good to prepare us for the next level," he said. "The speed was a little bit quicker than in high school and the competition was better too."

My husband has been collecting bottle caps for a long time. He loves collecting caps of his favorite drinks. After seeing an idea on Pinterest, I decided that making these cute, brightly colored caps useful was a good idea. Why not add some spice to your refrigerator by making magnets of out them?
VERY easy to do! You can buy circle shaped magnets at Walmart – a set of 18 for less than $2. (though since the bottle caps are deep, I have to stack two magnets on top of each other so I ended up only making 9.)
This idea could also be modified. If you wanted to insert your own pictures, just turn the bottle cap the other way and mod podge the picture inside the cap and put magnets on the back. Here's a tutorial.
Eventually, I want to try this – making this bottle cap tray:
Doesn't it look so cute??
Plus, here's 5 more easy bottle cap craft.
Hope this give you some ideas to try!! Please share on my facebook page once you have tried one of these projects or what you have done in the past!!
I'm linking this post up to Today's Creative Blog and The Pinterest Challenge!

Grande idéia! =D
I live in an apartment (no painting the walls or permanent shelves anything like that on the walls), so does the velcro ruin the paint when you try to pull it off? I have used regular tape, and duct tape on walls and no problem but never velcro!

Merry Christmas 2011
Love and Joy to all !!!
This is the thirteenth Christmas that I've been able to share with our friends and colleagues here on AnimationNation and I am very grateful for the opportunity for another Holiday Season with the great folks that make up our community.
As I've done on Christmas Eve for the past several years, good fortune had me participating in the decoration of St. Charles Barromeo Church on Lankershim Blvd. and Moorpark Rd. in North Hollywood, California.
The great benefactor of this beautiful house of worship was none other than Bob Hope and his wife, Delores Hope. They funded the building of the church. It was completed in 1959.
Here's how the church looks as of this morning on Christmas Eve.
Re: Merry Christmas 2011
On the drive back to Burbank, I passed by Bob Hope's house. He didn't live far from St. Charles Church. I pulled over and got a shot of the nativity scene the estate sets up at one of the gates to the property.
Bob and Delores Hope did this every year, and the tradition continues even though they've both passed on.
Here's a broader view of the nativity scene and the gate taken from across the street. These pictures can be viewed better by clicking on the image.
Re: Merry Christmas 2011
Christmas Eve in Burbank, California USA!
This is a block away from AN headquarters. Many of the residents of Burbank take their Christmas decorations seriously.
These homes are in the Magnolia Park neighborhood.
Re: Merry Christmas 2011
I've done this every Christmas on AN for years, ever since I discovered YouTube and all that it brings to life and to celebrating this most joyous of holidays.
I like to feature reverent Christmas songs on this night.
Here's a few which I hope you'll enjoy.
To start with, from America, a great spiritual folk song in the Gospel tradition that we loved to sing when we were kids, and still love to sing today.
Go Tell It On the Mountain.
Re: Merry Christmas 2011
Next up, my nomination for perhaps the most beautiful song my ears have ever heard. I discovered it last Christmas and shared it on the forums. From the Western Christian tradition, O Magnum Mysterium, or the Great Mystery...
Re: Merry Christmas 2011
And in the Eastern Christian tradition, an ancient Byzantine hymn. The language is the Greek that was spoken about 1500 to 2000 years ago, that the New testament was written in.
This is a rare treat as the monks who chant this do so in English.
The great Christmas song of the Eastern Church...
Christ is Born...
Re: Merry Christmas 2011
Once again, Merry Christmas brothers and sisters.
I hope your Holiday celebration is full of happiness and love.
Thank you for reading this and for coming to the AN Forums.
May you have peace and prosperity and creativity in your life, and may all your dreams come true.
Re: Merry Christmas 2011

AHA 2015 in the News
The 129th annual meeting triggered a flurry of articles about AHA sessions, affiliate meetings, and the AHA business meeting. AHA Today hosted a series of guest blog posts from annual meeting attendees, and AHA staff reflected on the meeting in the February and March issues of Perspectives.
Poster Presenters
Poster sessions provide a unique way for historians to present their work in an engaging and visual format. We've compiled a range of sources on the benefits of presenting a poster, howe the format works, and how to craft an effective poster.
Videos from AHA 2015
The AHA's Annual Meeting is a great place to hear about the latest in historical scholarship and practice. Our sessions focus on many different topics, from the histories of places and periods to the uses of history itself in a wide variety of venues. Nearly 300 sessions were held at the 2015 meeting in New York. Several of these sessions were recorded, and we have posted them online for your reference. These videos should be helpful for future session organizers or those who were unable to attend the meeting. We also recorded panels that might be suitable for use in a classroom.

About the AHA16 Design
Designer Zoila Torres was born in Peru and moved to Atlanta as a child. Her wide-ranging projects include design for marketing campaigns, museum exhibitions, catalogs, and websites. In her graphic design for the AHA annual meeting , the city's most recognizable landmarks emerge from a vintage color palette of rusty red and gunmetal blue. The logo features landmarks unique to Atlanta, such as Peachtree Street, the city's main street, and one of dozens of streets with "peachtree" in its name. In the foreground is Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King, Jr, was baptized, became a pastor, and where his funeral was held in 1968. Alongside it are the historic shotgun houses, common in the city. Meanwhile, business towers and hotels reach skyward in the background. The contrasting images represent Atlanta's struggles and successes.

It could be a scene from "The Price is Right:" take a look at the 2014 Infiniti Q50, and guess how much it costs without going over the actual price. If you said anything over $40,000, you'd lose this round--the new car will cost $37,355 when it goes on sale this summer.
Credit Infinti with some creative pricing strategies to go along with its new naming strategy. The car-formerly-known-as-the-G will cost $37,355 as part of an "introductory pre-order" deal in hopes of driving customer interest. Infiniti will also give Q50 buyers a complimentary iPad mini if they place orders during the initial pre-order period, a sign that the "premium brands giving gifts to new owners" trend set by brands like Lincoln and cars like Hyundai's Equus is here to stay. What might not be here to stay is the price--Infiniti hasn't said if this MSRP will stay this low past the introductory period, only that it will "re-evaluate" the price when the initial sale period ends.
That $37,355 (some $905 less than the base 2013 Infinti G) will score you a new sedan with Infiniti's tried-and-true 3.7-liter V-6--which makes 328 horsepower--and a seven-speed automatic transmission. For the first time, the G37 sedan won't feature a six-speed manual transmission. From there buyers can step up to the Q50 Premium ($40,205) or the Q50 Sport ($45,655). There's also a hybrid model that uses a 3.5-liter V-6 and a seven-speed automatic gearbox--the base Hybrid Premium starts at $44,605, while the top-spec Q50 Hybrid Sport will cost you $47,005. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine will be added to the mix in 2015; in the meantime, all-wheel drive is an $1800 option available on all trim levels and with either powertrain.
While we're not sure how the Q50's standard features will stack up against the competition, the Q50's base price is a world beater, coming in thousands less than other mid-size premium/sport sedans with at least 300 horsepower and an automatic transmission. Lexus' 2013 IS350 is the closest competitor, ringing in at $41,215, but prices go all the way up to $49,895 for Audi's S4. Infiniti does say that its "popularly equipped" model is the Q50 Premium, which means that you'll probably need to shell out $40,205 for a sedan that truly compares on standard/available features. Even if that's true, the Q50 still takes the crown for the least expensive competitor when it goes on sale this summer.
One more note: the Q50 is the only sport sedan (as far as we know) that carries the weight of a Formula 1 champion with it: Infiniti was on stage at the New York Auto Show today, announcing that F1 driver Sebastian Vettel is its new, official Director of Performance. Vettel was apparently instrumental in testing the new Q50, just as he was a major factor behind the special-edition FX50 that bears his name. Get ready for more tie-ups: Infiniti promises that the FX and Q50 are just the beginning of the partnership.

Invista signs second biobased butadiene development deal
2:58 PM MST | February 7, 2013 | Rebecca Coons
Seattle biocatalysis firm Arzeda says it has entered into a collaboration with Invista to develop a biobased route to a butadiene, a key raw material that is increasingly in short supply. Although still in the early stages of development, Invista tells CW it expects to begin commercializing the technology in 2016. The agreement leverages Invista's existing capabilities in biotechnology and catalysis and Arzeda's synthetic biology and enzyme design expertise. The initial focus of the collaboration will be on the production of biobased butadiene, although the...

Changing the World
I've had a crazy semester (thus the non-posting by Ms. M) but as it comes to a close I inevitably reflect on my experiences, both with others and on my own. This is just a random collection of thoughts I've had in the last week or two.
- I still truly believe that teaching is the most important career (aside from being a parent) that anyone could choose to pursue. I love kids and am amazed on a daily basis by their perspectives on life – positive or otherwise. I tell my students that I change the world every day, as everything that happens in my classroom impacts them in some way and they will take that with them when they leave me. Thus, it is my goal to change the world in a positive way as much as I possibly can. Every day has to be a fresh start for every child that walks into my room, no matter what has happened in the past.
- I have to realize that I have no control over what happens in classrooms that aren't mine and that the best way to help students overcome adversity is to be a positive role model and support them even when they don't think they want or need it. Dwelling on negativity not only doesn't help anyone, it becomes a disease that will infect my classroom if I allow it. Not only do I need to give my students a fresh start every day, I need to allow myself that same privilege. Every morning I need to start over, forgetting whatever slip-ups I may have had. No one is perfect, so I should not expect perfection from myself. To be human is a beautiful thing – imperfections and all.
- It's time I start being an advocate again for technology integration and Project-based Learning. With changing schools and jobs this year I have let that slide, and it is unacceptable. I will start blogging again, I will start posting student projects to my class website and I will start offering to host PLCs in these areas. They are things which I truly believe will impact positive change in education (and face it, our education system is seriously damaged right now) and if I want it to change I've got to do my part to change it. Someone's got to be an impetus for change, why can't it be me?
I am incredibly grateful for my small collection of friends that have helped me through this incredibly challenging semester and am going to try from this point forward to be the positive influence in the lives of both students and teachers that I know is needed. I can not control what others do, but I can control what I do and hope that it impacts others in a beneficial way.

This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
This series by Scot McKnight relates a lecture given at the 2012 BioLogos workshop for Evangelical theologians, scientists, authors and pastors. He explains that evolution is taught in public schools, and therefore must be addressed by Evangelical pastors in the churches as well. This will educate a whole generation of upcoming scientists on the issues of science and faith. Overall, he encourages scientists and pastors to collaborate on the issue as they rethink the long held interpretations of Genesis 1-3.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about science and faith in America. The graphic uses data from Gallup Research, The New York Times, and the Pew Research Center to show what Americans currently believe about the origins of humans.
Because evolution is a challenging subject, many Christians are tempted to simply ignore or reject it. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and with our relationships with other people—believers and non-Christians alike. First, Christians should study evolution because (like all the natural sciences) it is the study of God's creation. Creation itself is a complementary revelation to what is communicated in the Scriptures, and through it God shows how and when he brought about life, to his honor and glory. Studying the creation is also an invitation into a deeper understanding of the attributes and character of Father, Son and Spirit. Second, considering evolutionary creation aids the Church in its gospel mission, supporting young Christians in their faith, helping answer critics, and equipping us to engage effectively in the wider culture. An anti-evolution attitude can harm Christian young people by presenting them with a false choice between pursuing science OR holding to faith. Similarly, a hostile attitude towards evolution can hinder evangelism when seekers hear that they must reject science to follow Christ. On the other hand, studying evolution as a God-ordained process helps Christians refute arguments that science encourages an atheistic worldview. Furthermore, as the church engages front-page issues raised by the rapid growth in science, medicine, and technology, a Christ-centered voice in such areas as bioethics will be stronger if based on a thorough understanding of the natural sciences, including evolution.

In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
A five-year project headed by the Barna Group explores the opportunities and challenges of faith development among teens and young adults within a rapidly shifting culture.
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
In this six part series, Brian Godawa takes a closer look at cosmography and its relationship to the Bible. After defining cosmography as a theory that describes features of the heavens and the earth, he relates how his own views about the universe have shifted. He then continues to talk about the Mesopotamian cosmography that is so consistently reflected in Scripture. This view of the universe includes aspects such as the firmament, the pillars, the underworld, the heavens above, the watery abyss. He then explains how one understands these concepts in terms of modern scientific thought.
In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins' scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
Science does not overthrow the Bible. Faith does not require rejecting science. World-renowned scientist Francis Collins, author of The Language of God, along with fellow scientist Karl Giberson show how we can embrace both. -Amazon
Written by Rev. Kerry L. Bender, this two part series expresses concerns that science has been viewed as a weapon rather than a tool on both sides of the so-called war. Atheistic scientists and devout believers alike have abused science in its true form. Unfortunately, evangelicals have gone a step further and have often misused the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, as well. Amidst it all, he calls all Christians to be prayerful.
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.

Subject: Deepest Thanks from Baobab Youth Performers (Ottawa, ON)
Received: June 7, 2001
Dear Conrad, Aku and Staff at Richters
Please accept our deepest thanks for your generous donation of basil seeds for fundraising for our Ghana trip. The African Basil Seed Gift Campaign has so far raised $6718.00 and there are still a few more trickling in! Donations ranged from $2 to $1000. We know that the basil seeds helped people capture the spirit of our trip. We are thrilled with the outcome of this endeavour. We had no idea of what we could expect, but it really met our highest hopes! Over the year we had many events and performances which contributed to our efforts. This one allowed us to reach people who were not able to support us by attending a concert or other local event.
Our fundraising goal of $30,000 is very close to being met at this time and we are very grateful for your part in it. Your connection to Dagbamete [Ghana] makes it even sweeter! We shall surely be thinking of you as we embark on this momentous journey.
With love and thanks,
Baobab Youth Performers, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

NCAA Tournament Selection Show Viewing Party Set for Monday 4:30 p.m. at One 12 Downtown
JOHNSON CITY Tenn. (Nov. 13, 2010) - Freshman Itode Fubara (Ogbema, Nigeria) notched a golden goal for the ETSU men's soccer team in the first overtime period to defeat Stetson 1-0 in the Atlantic Sun Championship game Saturday afternoon at Summers-Taylor Stadium.
"I am so proud of this team," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "They have worked so hard and deserve to be champions. This is kind of a story book ending for us achieving the goals we had set for ourselves at the beginning of the year."
The win is the third straight for the Bucs (15-5-0, 7-2-0 A-Sun) and first against Stetson as the Buccaneers are now 7-1-0 in overtime contests and will finish the year with an amazing 9-1-0 record at home. The 15 wins are the most in the Atlantic Sun since 1998 when Jacksonville went 19-5-0 and reached the NCAA Sweet 16.
"Stetson is a fantastic team and they really gave us some difficulty in the first half, especially," Calabrese added. "We kept at it, worked hard and grinded it out, and in the end we are conference champions."
The Hatters (10-6-2, 6-2-1A-Sun) outshot the Buccaneers 9-5 in the contest and had a slight edge in shots on goal at 3-2. Stetson also held a 7-1 advantage in corners.
Sophomore keeper Ronnie Hreha (Asheville, Tenn.) posted his third straight shutout and seventh of the season to set an ETSU single season record. Hreha had three saves in the match as he improved his season goal against average to 0.79.
In the first half, Stetson controlled play as the Hatters outshot the Bucs 6-2 in the period. Sophomore Jonathan Mendoza came out firing on all cylinders for Stetson, but the ETSU back line was able to keep him in check as the game would remain scoreless at the half.
Both teams picked up the defensive intensity in the second half as neither team recorded a shot until the 69th minute when an Aaron Schoenfeld (Knoxville, Tenn.) header went just wide of the frame.
With the clock ticking down in regulation, Mendoza sent a ball high in the air towards the net that just missed going in with 1.4 seconds left on the clock as the shot hit the crossbar and deflected safely away from danger.
In the first overtime period, Stetson just missed the game-winner as Luis Ocejo sent a shot off of the corner that went just left of the post in the 92nd minute.
Minutes later the Bucs drew a free kick after a Hatter foul, and junior Colin Pugh (Dublin, Ireland) sent a great service into the box as Fubara deflected the ball past Stetson's Andreas Schnabl into the back of the net for the game-winner in the 95th minute.
Fubara was named the Atlantic Sun Men's Soccer Tournament MVP, while David Geno (Kingsport, Tenn.), Guilherme Reis (Belo, Horizonte, Brazil), Theo Yang (Lilburn, Ga.), Schoenfeld and Hreha were also selected to the A-Sun All-Tournament Team.
The Bucs return to action next week as they will make their first ever appearance in the NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament. Fans are encouraged to come to the official NCAA Men's Soccer Selection Show Viewing Party at One 12 Downtown on Monday at 4:30 p.m.

Monday, January 07, 2002Charleston, S.C. -- Jeff Bolton scored 16 points and Troy Wheless added 13 points leading the College of Charleston to a 71-64 victory over East Tennessee State in Southern Conference college basketball action before 3,462 at John Kresse Arena Monday night. With the win, the Cougars improved to 11-3 overall and 1-2 in league play while handing Head Coach John Kresse his 550th career coaching victory (550-137 in his 23rd season). The Bucs fell to 8-6 and 1-2. After Charleston jumped out to a 17-10 lead with 10:22 left in the first half, the Bucs answered with a 24-16 and got a 3-pointer from Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) with one second left in the half to take a 34-33 lead at intermission. Charleston scored the first 11 points of the second half to take a 44-34 lead with 14:15 remaining and never trailed again despite ETSU cutting the margin to three points on two occassions. Tony Mitchell and Rudy Rothseiden came off the bench to score 10 points each for Charleston. Rothseiden added seven rebounds, including six off the offensive glass. Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) led ETSU with a game-high 18 points. Wadood scored 17 points and pulled down a game-high 14 rebounds. ETSU's Dimeco Childress (Columbia, Tenn.) and Tiras Wade (Tampa, Fla.) added 15 and 10 points each, respectively. Childress' last field goal of the game, a three-pointer, gave the senior 1,002 points for his career. He is the 21st player in ETSU history to eclipse the 1,000-point mark. Fields' 18 points matched his previous career-high. Both teams play conference games on Saturday. Charleston is at Wofford for a 7:00 start, while the Bucs host VMI at 4:00 p.m.

Comments about Women's Sof Sole Gel Heel Cup Insole:
I tried a variety of heel cups and gel pads. They ALL make my feet much happier. (I developed plantar fasciitis heel pain after bombarding them with group exercise classes, a few long hikes, and gardening on a tiered slope.) However, the Sof Soles cost almost twice as much as some similar products . . . but is definitely worth it! Feels like my heels are immersed in thick finger jello, and they absorb shock better than the others I've tried! My heels are in HEAVEN!!!

Gail Fisher's Dog Tracks: Finding the prime time to bring a child and dog together
In my last two columns, I've been addressing a reader who wrote to ask my feelings about whether the couple should adopt a dog before their first baby is due or after the baby arrives.
Although the reader didn't detail why they particularly want a dog at this time, reading between the lines - and after many years of talking with dog owners and prospective owners with families - I'm guessing that at least one of the goals for this young family is for their child to grow up with a dog to play with and love.
I well remember a dog food commercial you might call "Casey's Life." (I remember the commercial, but not the brand of food it was promoting). The commercial opened with a young boy playing with his adorable Irish setter puppy, Casey. Scene two was a teenage boy cavorting with the now full-grown Casey. Then finally, the grown man called to Casey, his beautiful, old white-faced setter who slowly made it up the stairs to him. Even now I get choked up thinking about this commercial. It certainly tugged at our heart strings.
What dog-loving family would not want their child to experience such a devoted, close relationship for the all the years the boy and dog spent together?
I had such a relationship with my neighbor's dog (also an Irish setter) from the time I was 9, when they moved in next door to us. My family didn't have a dog at that time, and I visited Shannon on a nearly daily basis to take her for a walk, play with her and love her.
The reader mentioned that the couple is is considering adopting a mature dog around 2 years old. Let's say they luck out - they find the perfect 2-year-old dog with no behavior issues that fits in perfectly with their life and lifestyle and is wonderful with the baby (always under supervision). For the first few years, no matter how perfect the dog is, the baby should not be playing alone with the dog.
By the time a child is old enough to learn what appropriate play with a dog involves and to follow rules such as not teasing the dog and not bothering the dog when it's sleeping or eating, the dog is going to be about 7 or 8 years old. As sad as it seems, the average 8-year-old dog is not going to be active enough for the average 7- or 8-year-old child.
Acknowledging that there are exceptions, generally speaking, the prime child-dog interactive years start when a child is around 6 or 7. A younger child won't be taking the dog for walks without an adult, and while a younger child can play appropriately with the dog, again, it should always be with adult supervision.
So getting a dog when a child is 6 or 7 gives the two plenty of years together to form that "Casey" kind of relationship that most families envision between their child and a dog.

Gallery: The Congo Street Initiative Revived a Downtrodden Dallas Neigh...
Before work began, Congo Street was a collection of small houses in a state of disrepair. Many residents had lived there for years in houses that had been handed down from parents or grandparents, but the area was slated for redevelopment. Rather than evict the residents, the project began to sustainably reconstruct the street and give residents secure, low maintenance and reliable housing. bcWorkshop held many community workshops and meetings to come up with a workable plan, which involved building a whole new house for families to live in while their own home was being rebuilt.
Working with architecture students from UT Arlington as well as AmeriCorps, Volunteers in Service to America, and several local service groups, bcWorkshop carefully deconstructed each home and then rebuilt new ones to accommodate the families. Building large homes would have been out of the budget and inappropriate for the scale of the street, so new homes were kept to small footprints. The original homes were around 625 sq ft and the largest of the new homes was increased to 975 sq ft. Wood and siding from the original dwellings was reclaimed and reused as siding, stairs, railings and decorative finishes.
After the homes were completed, the next phase of work began to make Congo Street Dallas's first "Green Street." This involved incorporating stormwater management, retention, and bio-filtration into the street to make it a safer place to live, and solar power and thermal systems were installed on each rooftop to reduce utility costs. These projects were all funded with support from the city, various community foundations and many volunteers.

En español | Have you ever wondered:
"My mother is driving me crazy, but who can I tell?"
"How can I help Dad out of bed without breaking my own back?"
"Who is going to drive Mom to her doctor's appointment?"
If so, you're a caregiver. And if so, odds are you could benefit from online tools to lighten your load.
See also: Caregivers can get paid.
Use these tools to make caregiving easier:
"Facebook has been seen more as the high school reunion of the Internet world," says Sherri Snelling, CEO and founder of the Caregiving Club. But it's evolving beyond that — and growing in popularity among caregivers. "Caregiving is a life event that so many boomer women are facing, and more and more are seeking out places where they can blow off some steam."
Through Facebook groups, caregivers can vent about a bad day, keep faraway family members informed of Mom's or Dad's condition and put a call out for volunteers when they need some help. You can post pictures and videos of your loved one and network with other caregivers through Facebook groups such as the Unprepared Caregiver and Today's Caregiver.
To use it, all you need is an email address and password to start your own page. You can then add as much or as little information about yourself as you'd like. Connect with friends and family through their email address and join Facebook groups by clicking the "Like" button. Once you have some Facebook friends and groups, you'll start to see their posts and updates. Then jump in with your own question, photograph or rant.
Online forums
Talking to friends and family is important, but often it's people having experiences like your own who can offer the most support. "Online forums put you in touch with people who understand how stressful caregiving can be and won't judge you for saying, 'this really stinks' or 'the person I'm caring for is ticking me off today,' " says Beth McNaughton, vice president of community for Inspire.com, an online forum with more than 200,000 members.
On Inspire, you'll find nearly 200 support groups for everything from Alzheimer's to heart disease to incontinence. The boards appeal to patients and caregivers alike who want disease information and a sympathetic ear, McNaughton says. Other popular online groups include AARP's online community, the Alzheimer's Association message boards and Family Caregiver Alliance.
Before posting to a message board, McNaughton says, you should adopt a pseudonym to protect your privacy. Reading through past posts is important, too, she says, because this will give you an idea of whether the community is offering the type of support you need. Moderated boards, such as Inspire, will also offer more security, since you know that there is a third party who will weed out offensive posts and block people who are abusing the service.
