'House of Joshua' author to deliver Elizabeth Blackwell Day Lecture at SUNY Upstate Feb. 18
Mindy Thompson Fullilove, M.D., author of "The House of Joshua: Meditations on Family and Place," will present the Elizabeth Blackwell Day Lecture at SUNY Upstate Medical University Wednesday, Feb. 18, at noon in the Weiskotten Hall Medical Alumni Auditorium, 766 Irving Avenue, Syracuse. The lecture is free and open to the public.
In "The House of Joshua," Fullilove presents a collection of essays reflecting numerous aspects of her life. More than memoir, the essays are an exploration of the psychological importance of place in the life of an individual, a study of how the actual places–houses, streets, schools, rooms–shape an individual's worldview and self perception.
A professor of clinical psychiatry and public health at Columbia University and a research psychiatrist at New York Psychiatric Institute, Fullilove has been studying the problems of HIV/AIDS in minority communities in the United States since 1986. Concentrating on the AIDS risk behaviors in communities that were characterized by population displacement, she began to study the psychology of place which involves issues of displacement and upheaval, from housing resettlement in Harlem and violence in Washington Heights to the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall.
For more information on Dr. Fullilove's lecture, call 315-464-8577.

The Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow could extend
its run for 2014, with a new event soon to be announced.
Tickets for the 14th airshow at Wanaka Airport go on saleon
Monday and organisers are inviting those attending to stay an
extra day for a yet-to-be-confirmed event on Monday, April
The airshow will take place over the three preceding days -
April 18, 19 and 20. Warbirds over Wanaka general manager Ed
Taylor said he could not reveal any details about the
proposed event as it was still being finalised. However, it
would be ''aligned with the airshow''.
The new event would be announced in the next few of weeks, Mr
Taylor said.
Several additions have been made to the ticket structure for
next year's show.
These include a new family pass, benefits for early booking,
a facility for people to print their own tickets, and an
early bird Friday silver pass.
''The silver pass will again prove very popular with a
one-day option for grandstand seating,'' the airshow's event
manager, Mandy Deans, said.
About 50,000 attended the previous airshow.
Based on the number of requests for ticket sales since then,
organisers are anticipating another sellout of gold and
silver passes. The flying and ground programmes are in the
process of being developed for the Easter 2014 show.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

A Prodigy's Progress
How a concert star was groomed -- and hectored -- since childhood to excel
Journey of a Thousand Miles
By Lang Lang, with David Ritz
Spiegel & Grau, 239 pages, $24.95
If you've never heard of Lang Lang, no matter. You probably will. He is a flamboyant classical pianist with spiky hair and sparkling jackets, a rising star much given to theatrical gestures onstage. He occasionally weeps during his performances. But he has a fabulous technique, the product of innate talent and tens of thousands of hours of practice -- much of it at shoe-point -- enabling him to play some of the most technically difficult pieces ever written. He has also been called the "Chinese Liberace," and there are certainly elements of that persona on display in "Journey of a Thousand Miles," his memoir (at age 26). But there is a lot else besides.
Mr. Lang tells the story of his almost unbelievable rise out of a grimy Chinese industrial city to an international concert career. He was born in 1982 in Shenyang, in China's Liaoning province (near the Korean peninsula). At 18 months, he was being taught by his policeman father, himself an accomplished performer on the erhu (a two-stringed violin, played rather like a cello), who had decided to invest six months' salary in a piano and learn the rudiments of keyboard technique so that he could instruct his son.
The Cultural Revolution, as it turned out, had thwarted the musical careers of both Mr. Lang's father and mother, and he was born two years after China's "one child" policy took effect. It must have occurred to his parents that the talents of their child presented an opportunity to relive their own lost careers. At age 4, Lang Lang auditioned with a local teacher, the kindly Zhu Ya-Fen. When she accepted him for study, Mr. Lang's father told her: "He must be the number one piano player in all of China. And then all the world." He meant it.
My fingers motionlessly danced over an invisible keyboard. I didn't see the bicycles, cars, and buses; I didn't see the traffic lights and the throngs of pedestrians. I saw Beethoven's story about finding one's way through a complex maze.
At age 5, Lang Lang won a citywide piano competition. By 6, he was practicing almost seven hours a day. At 9, after a harrowing year of preparation, he placed first out of 3,000 applicants in the national auditions for the Beijing Conservatory. After that came a first prize in a national piano competition, a showing in the China International Piano Competition, first place in the Ettlingen International Competition for Young Pianists and, in 1995, first place in the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians.
When Mr. Lang was only 13 -- prompted by the example of other prodigies -- he mastered the legendarily difficult Rachmaninoff D-minor concerto. At 14 he appeared as soloist with the China National Symphony. Several months later he won a full scholarship to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia to study with Gary Graffman. At 17, he substituted for André Watts at Ravinia, the North Shore summer home of the Chicago Symphony, at which point his career officially took off -- high-powered management, recording contracts, world tours.
It seems necessary though not sufficient for great musicians to start young. (Mr. Graffman, Mr. Lang's teacher at Curtis, started playing at 3 years of age and entered Curtis at 7.) Thus parents can be hugely important to the musical development of their talented children. "After God comes Papa," the youthful Mozart was fond of saying. The young Janos Starker ate on the job -- his mother laid out sandwiches to keep him at the cello and for good measure had a parrot in the background squawking: "Practice, Janos, practice!" Other parents have acted with a heavier hand. The father of the American pianist Ruth Slenczynska was so demanding that she suffered a nervous breakdown at age 15.
From "Journey of a Thousand Miles" we may gather that Mr. Lang's father belongs to ogre tradition. In a rage because his 4-year-old was not practicing sufficiently, he methodically destroyed his toys. A few years later he screamed for his son to commit suicide for displeasing a new teacher. (He gave Lang Lang the option of pills or a leap off the balcony before finally calming down.)
Lang Lang's mother was for many years the primary support of the family and was separated from father and son for long periods. Yet if Lang Lang tried to spend any time talking with her when they were home -- talking, that is, instead of practicing -- his father responded with the most appalling outbursts. When Lang Lang studied at Curtis, his father modified his behavior at home only to the extent of throwing shoes at the boy's head for committing finger faults. The pianist uses words like "stupid," "lazy," "ruin," "fool" and "idiot" to recount his father's various encouragements and "punish," "yell" and "scream" to describe the way in which they were delivered.

In a bad novel, such an upbringing might result in a closed-off, thwarted personality or in a bitter virtuoso inclined toward tantrums and abusive behavior. But to judge from his interviews and appearances, Mr. Lang seems to be a charming, open-hearted, affable man. There is an amusing YouTube clip in which he plays the first few measures of Chopin's Op. 10/5 "Black Key" etude -- with an orange.
One oddity of "Journey of a Thousand Miles," then, is a failure even to try to reconcile its searing account of serial humiliations and deprivations with its otherwise sunny, upbeat tone: The effect is puzzling, like "Mommy Dearest" with a happy ending. As for the narrative itself, it can be cartoonish. Grim piano competitors, the overbearing professoriat of the Beijing Conservatory, an obnoxious teacher -- all are cast as monstrous Goliaths falling to the plucky efforts of the aspiring Number One. Mr. Lang clearly internalized his father's obsession with world conquest.
Gary Graffman tried to counter Mr. Lang's must-always-be-first obsession by offering some advice about piano competitions: "They direct your energy away from the process to the prize. And . . . it must be about the process." One senses that Mr. Lang did not take the message to heart. At the piano, he is a ferocious competitor. Away from it, though, he seems to want to be all things to all men -- just "one of the guys," as impressed by the rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg as by a performance of Enrique Granados's treacherously beautiful piano suite "Goyescas."
Mr. Lang may be moved to tears during his performances, but what about the audience? The American pianist Amy Fay (1844-1928), describing the extraordinary power of Franz Liszt's playing, said that she doubted whether Liszt "feels any particular emotion himself, when he is piercing you through with his rendering. He is simply hearing every tone, knowing exactly what effect he wishes to produce and how to do it." What is missing from Lang Lang's self-promotional memoir -- and, it must be said, from some his performances -- is that Lisztian sense of what it takes to move people.
Mr. Lang's version of Alfred Grünfeld's "Die Fledermaus" paraphrase, for example, has all the notes -- maybe even more than all the notes. (And for that, congratulations! -- this music improves with improvisational splash.) But it has little of the music's suave charm. His playing of Liszt's Second Rhapsody -- even in what resembles the turbo-charged version by Vladimir Horowitz -- leaves one awed but unmoved, in contrast to performances of similar material by, say, Arcadi Volodos, now 36 and pianistically a late developer.
When the great pianist Józef Hofmann (1876-1957) was 10, a wealthy donor gave his family $50,000 to allow him to develop quietly, sparing him the ruinous appearances that had been hitherto forced upon him by his "sordid father and grasping managers," in the words of one contemporary critic. Hofmann was thus able to postpone, if not entirely avoid, the realization that as a prodigy he might have already accomplished everything he would ever accomplish and that there was little left for him to strive for.
Perhaps Lang Lang's early wealth and fame will allow him to find such repose for himself, if he wants it, and finally to take the advice of his first teacher, Zhu Ya-Fen. After one of his father's ceaseless exhortations -- that his son must be Number One, she said: "Children require recreation. They require rest and play. . . . You can't rush their growth."

The Nearctic species of Rhynchelmis (Lumbriculidae) are distinguished from the Palearctic group Rhynchelmis s. str. by longitudinal muscle bands that do not curl inwards. Six new species from western North America support the existence of two major groupings within the Nearctic fauna. Species in Group 1 are distinguished from other Rhynchelmis by large penial bulbs and multiple spermathecal diverticula. Within Group 1, Rhynchelmis yakimorum n. sp., Rhynchelmis monsserratus n. sp., Rhynchelmis gustafsoni n. sp. and Rhynchelmis utahensis n. sp. differ from the related Rhynchelmis (=Sutroa) rostrata in having short penes and spermathecae with 2 short, lobed diverticula. R. monsserratus is distinguished by a single, median spermatheca, R. gustafsoni has closely appressed, median spermathecae and atria, and R. utahensis differs in structural details of spermathecae and male pores. Rhynchelmis gilensis n. sp. has a single, median spermatheca with unbranched diverticula and distinctive nephridia. Redescription of material from the type localities of both Sutroa alpestris and R. rostrata supports their combination. Group 2, corresponding in part to Rhynchelmoides, is distinguished from Group 1 mostly by characters that are inconsistent or appear plesiomorphic. Within Group 2, Rhynchelmis saxosa n. sp. closely resembles Rhynchelmis alaskana, except for the absence of lateral blood vessels in posterior segments and distribution of prostates. Rhynchelmis elrodi and Rhynchelmis glandula consistently differ in presence of ventral glands and have different distributions, so their supposed synonymy is rejected.

The NWMAF is a community of women who, like yourself, train in martial and healing arts and self-defense. From Aikido to Zujitsu, empty-hand to weapons, self-defense to healing arts, our members span the gamut. Join us!
NWMAF members reap the benefits of practice and study of our health, self-confidence, physical fitness, and stress management. Some of us have been training over many decades, others just a few months. Yet we can all come together and train.
To that end, every summer the NWMAF puts on a Special Training and Self-Defense Instruction Conference. You choose from a variety of classes. Each day brings many sessions and several options: a "hard style" class, "soft style" class, mat art, self-defense, healing arts, and weapons. Expert trainers tailor their teaching for a wide range of students – from beginners to experts.
Take a look around this website, and feel free to contact us with any questions. We are looking forward to meeting you!
The NWMAF is a collection of remarkable women connected by a common passion. I joined the organization in 2004 and attended my first conference in 2006. Since then, I have discovered the infinite variety of individuals that make up the women in martial arts.
As chair, I have the good fortune to communicate and team up with accomplished women from all over the world. These women have inspired young people to a passion that changes their lives and spreads positive energy like a drop of water in a pond that ripples outward.
I see the positive change martial arts has created in my life and the lives of students I teach.
The vision I have for the NWMAF, is that we continue to fulfill our mission of empowering women through martial arts and self-defense training, by encouraging everyday participation at local schools and training centers.

text: Solazyme One more under-$10 stock that's trending very close to triggering a near-term breakout trade is Solazyme ( SZYM), which is in the business of transforming a range of low-cost plant-based sugars into high-value oils. This stock has been thrashed by the bears during the last six months, with shares off by 39%. If you take a look at the chart for SZYM, you'll notice that this stock has just started to trend back above its 50-day moving average of $7.73 a share with solid upside volume. Volume today has already registered 630,000 shares which is just a bit below its three-month average action of 640,387 shares. This move is quickly pushing shares of SZYM within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in SZYM if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $8.60 to $8.79 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 640,387 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then SZYM will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $9.90 to its 200-day moving average at $10.31 a share. Any high-volume move above its 200-day will then put $11 to $12 into range for shares of SZYM. Traders can look to buy SZYM off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support at its 50-day of $7.83 or at $7.50 a share. One could also buy SZYM off strength once it clears those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits just below $8.30 a share. This is another favorite target of the short-sellers, since the current short interest as a percentage of the float for SZYM is very high at 19.2%. If that breakout triggers soon, then SZYM has some serious short-squeeze potential, so be ready to play this if it hits.

The Miskito Indians live in the Northeast corner of Nicaragua. This is one of the poorest areas in Nicaragua, which is one of the poorest countries in Central America. Luckily, people here have access to healthcare through medical aid provided by Partners in Health. There is, however, no dental program of any kind: no fluoride, no toothbrushes, and no dentists. The people here subsist mostly through agriculture and a bartering system. There is no running water and no electricity, and very little opportunity to earn money. For this reason, and because dental care has never been taught, most people do not own toothbrushes or care for their teeth in any way. Dental decay is rampant, and causes immense pain and suffering. This is an easy problem to fix. People need toothbrushes, knowledge, and regular fluoride application.

NBC Not Denying That Chuck Todd Will Take David Gregory's Job on Meet the Press
The change is reportedly coming by year's end.
Last time we heard rumors of David Gregory's demise at NBC, the network suggested a "grain of salt." (That was after emphatically denying it had hired a psychological consultant to figure out why no one wanted to watch Gregory host Meet the Press.) But now, with Politico reporting that Tim Russert's still-empty shoes will be filled before the end of the year by NBC host, White House correspondent, and political director Chuck Todd, there's been no such reassurance for Gregory.
Mike Allen's Playbook reported yesterday that although "nothing is definite or decided," Todd would be tapped to save the struggling Sunday talk show while Gregory is "unlikely to remain at the network."
Amid all of the bad press this summer, the current host even came back early from vacation in Nantucket, but the last-ditch gesture was not enough to solve "the David Gregory problem":
The host had driven NBC's once-dominant Sunday show to the bottom of the ratings race. He was widely disliked within the organization and his ambition and vanity rubbed important colleagues at NBC the wrong way. Perhaps most importantly, he didn't seem all that engaged with politics and policy, the bread and butter of Sunday public affairs programming.
There's been no official statement confirming the change, but no new denial either. Although Gregory told Politico he is "staying above the fray," the Daily News reports today that he's "embarrassed" and "absolutely devastated" by the reports.
Even hosts from rival networks are chiming in: "It is so slow, so painful and wicked," blogged Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. And for CSPAN, it's already a done deal:
Congrats @chucktodd - new @meetthepress host, per @mikeallen. Here's Chuck's 1st time @cspan http://t.co/flOUitWnCS pic.twitter.com/rxrMs2CSG2— CSPAN (@cspan) August 11, 2014

Re: First fight, first loss!
Well, i'd say you definitely did not hold back. You seem pretty strong and i'd hate to be on the other end of a street fight with you. But simply put, your opponent fought smarter.
My advice - keep your hands up. I don't need to tell you that, cuz i'm sure your coach grilled you already about it. It almost looked like you had 0 defence. You can surely benefit from a peekaboo guard. It's one of the easiest defensive guards you can use, until you get more advanced.
Secondly, you seemed to have 0 gameplan. No discernable strategy being employed, except throw a basic 1-2-1-2-1-2 whenever you had him cornered.
I'm sure you're kicking yourself about that too, cuz you're probably 100% better when sparring with your teammates. No worries, I think the vast majority of amateurs experience this especially in our first few fights.
My advice for your next fight:
1. Relax, think about what you want to do then try to execute it. Anyone who's ever competed knows this isn't as easy to do. But it's just jitters, you'll get over it.
2. Don't punch yourself out too early, pace yourself.
3. Block and counter - yes there are 101 different strategies we can suggest, but if you follow this basic principal, you'll be 100% better off than your first performance, where basically he landed shots at will and you just threw non-stop whenever possible. Pick your shots - like your opponent did. He did not appear to be in as physically good shape as you - but he blocked your shots, waited til you opened up and countered between your punches.
5 - throw combos. The 1-2-1-2-1-2 is so easy to block, leaves you open, then you're exhausted and unable to defend after a 4 second flurry. A 3 or 4 shot combo takes up less energy, and is twice as effective and is harder to predict, especially when you mix in body shots.
Athletically, you seem fine - just try to use strategy and fight smart.
Good luck on your next fight!

I love the plugin. It is a huge time saver but I'm getting an error.
extract() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 216
This error occurs when gravity forms tries to send an email through the WordPress wp_mail function. This didn't cause an issue with saving the form submission just sending it. I deactivated the Root Relative URLs plugin resolved the issue but I do want to continue using the plugin.
To fix the issue and keep the plug in active I commented out the following on line 258 of sb_root_relative_urls.php
This also fixed the issue.
Sorry I can't offer more help but I just wanted to alert you to the issue so it can be fixed in future releases.
