Dear Saybrook Community:
I want to directly address the Executive Order President Trump signed on Friday restricting people from seven countries from entering the U.S. As we wait with the rest of the world to understand the impact of this order, my first concern is our international students that may be affected.
We are vigilantly following updates as they evolve to ensure that we are offering the best support for our international students and scholars. The Offices of Student Affairs and Global Engagement will continue to offer support and are working closely with me as we partner with the broader academic community to monitor and respond to the situation. If you have specific questions, please contact Jennifer Fullick, Director of Global Engagement.
As has always been a part of our mission, at Saybrook University we believe that every living being has the right to thrive in a just, inclusive, and sustainable world; that will not change. I will be in touch directly as news unfolds.

The post Response to Executive Order on Immigration appeared first on Saybrook University.
By Saybrook University President Nathan Long, Ed.D.
I have had some significant time to think about a great deal with respect to our wonderful Saybrook University. As a non-profit, private, regionally accredited institution conceived in 1964 and officially launched in the mid-1970s, the original idea put forward by established scholars like Rollo May, Abraham Maslow, and Charlotte Buehler was to reimagine higher education, focusing on creating a new means of accessing graduate study, particularly in the field of psychology. This entailed at-a-distance graduate work with luminaries in the field. And for more than 45 years, Saybrook has been making good on that original concept while expanding across several disciplines.
Heading into the next few years, we are setting out on an ambitious strategic plan, which as of late has caused me to reflect on a few of key questions: Why Saybrook University? Why do students, faculty, and staff come to this institution? Moreover, what is it that we do that is making a difference? And, ultimately, how do we continue to provide excellent graduate education in a day and age where competition is fierce, and when institutions of similar size are struggling and in some cases collapsing?
Mission comes first.
Saybrook's mission is what draws faculty, students, and staff in the first place. The focus on rigorous graduate education steeped in humanistic philosophy and practice with the goal of spurring positive social change speaks to our intellectual leanings and pulls at our heartstrings. And while mission is vital, it is essentially the idea of what we hope to accomplish. In the end, students come to graduate school to immerse themselves in deep study with scholars who have established themselves in their particular field of interest. Additionally, our students embrace the fact that our faculty eschew the Ivory Tower stereotype plaguing much of higher education today. Many of our faculty are practicing their scholarship, making substantial contributions in their disciplines, their clinical and consulting practices, their organizations, and their communities.
Our academic programs nurture humanistic scholar-practitioners.
When considering the question of why, I think of our various programs, including Mind-Body Medicine, Integrative and Functional Nutrition, Humanistic and Clinical Psychology, Counseling, Leadership and Management, and Transformative Social Change. Each program embraces our humanistic legacy, weaving in the importance of understanding the individual, his or her unique strengths and challenges, his or her role within the greater community and society, and helping him or her to actualize their full potential.
We are promoting change in these fields.
Real-life examples of Saybrook faculty, students, and alumni abound.
Ginger Charles, a retired police officer and alumna, is working to change how police officers interact with their communities, thus improving morale and reducing police-citizen violence.
Dr. Kaffia Jones, alumna and retired Brigadier General, is dedicating her next career phase to helping veterans with PTSD
Faculty Dan Leahy and Jeff McAuliffe are helping transform organizations like SoundTransit.
Our student interns are working with Girls, Inc., in Oakland, supporting and helping young women and men actualize their full human potential.
Faculty Dr. Theopia Jackson is creating community healing networks in concert with the Association of Black Psychologists.
The list goes on. Our students and faculty, as evidenced above, are people making a difference locally and globally. Ultimately, those of us here or who are coming to Saybrook University want to make that difference, because we believe in the power of taking what we learn, applying it, and changing lives for the better. The power of what we are working to achieve now will definitely enable us to accomplish and expand Saybrook's mission well into the future.
Providing an excellent student experience is our continual priority.
In addition to excellent faculty, our online and residential learning environments must reflect 21st century best practices and innovate beyond the "what is". My numerous conversations with students point to a pervasive theme: students expect connectivity and meaning. Online learning around the country has become unnecessarily disembodied, with few exceptions. Finding new ways to expand the human-virtual experience that promotes academic engagement as well as close-knit bonds will be how Saybrook defines itself.
For me, all of the above answer the "why" and "how" of Saybrook University. Together, we are making a difference each and every day, locally and around the globe.

With the proliferation of polarities rampant today, I'm rather fond of some of the "flash mob" videos that periodically show up on You Tube, particularly the ones in public spaces (the commons) that involve orchestras and choirs playing a human classic to the delights of the gathering citizens. To me this is an example of the human potential beyond our limitations: A moment that transcends our differences. Here's the link to the most recent example that came from my daughter, Chelsea: http://bit.ly/Onvuc4
While I've never, yet, participated in one of these celebrations of Life, I've often imagined what it would be like. Well, if truth be told, I've actually wondered what it would be like to take part in a LIOS-inspired flash mob.
Which brings me to my new favorite TV series, Newsroom on HBO. In the opening scene, http://bit.ly/SUugrC, the main character's monologue spoke to me. I wanted to both cheer for the audacity of speaking his truth, and rage that "We the People" have strayed so far from that path of possibilities.
Three things stand out to me in viewing this piece. One is the power of the media, the arts, and its ability to succinctly, eloquently express a collective pulse in a way that seems to cause proper matters to catch fire. A second is the power of doing your homework, of looking at the current, and in this case brutal, reality with discipline. And the third is the ability to connect that frank assessment of what is to the aspiration of what was envisioned in a way that seems to transcend the embattled polarities and evokes some higher purpose.
Which brings me back to the idea of the "flash mob;" I've been part of this grand idea that is LIOS for a long time now. I've seen and worked with hundreds of students. Over the years I have heard many stories of those who are working to make a difference in the systems they seek to serve. Many of them seem to carry the themes I saw in the video. They knew the reality of the system. They did their homework. And they found and are finding ways to transcend it, which I have found inspiring.
So, I wonder what it would be like if we began to gather the stories of these individuals in a virtual "commons?" What might we see in a LIOS "flash mob?" Given the individual stories I've heard over the past 30-plus years, I suspect it would be as inspirational as any flash mob I've seen to date. And, to me, the potency of the "flash mob" is its impact on the "commons". It reminds the people of the path of possibility. It rekindles a sense of hope. I know that the individual stories I've witnessed continue to spark the flame of hope in me. I find the this world to be an increasingly cold place, so I'm hungry to see if the gathering of stories creates a bonfire of imagination create a hearth of hope for those in the commons.
Now, I don't know if anyone reads these blogs, so this may be a voice in a vacuum. But I'm putting it out anyway. I calling for those who are so moved to gather at this virtual "commons" and share your stories about what you are doing to make a difference in the systems you serve. Let's see what we "sound like" together. Together we may discover that there's a symphony actions that begins to call us to more imaginative was of being. I'm hopeful, and I'm waiting . . .

Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly, For the day I die, I'mma touch the Sky"
Kanye West, "Touch the Sky"
In life, we have no control over what inspires us. Inspiration can come from many different sources. I have been inspired by many unusual sources. When seeking inspiration, I often look to the Sky. I look to the Sky for many reasons.
In addition to being a metaphorical holding ground for the heavens, the Sky suggests dreaming, optimism, strength and a relationship with the atmosphere, a connection with the universe, an umbrella to all that is life. That is inspiration. That is the Sky.
As a dreamer, I look to the Sky as I search for a better place, not just for myself but also, as a place to join other misinformed, uninformed and ignored souls that dare to challenge the status quo. The ones in this Sky continue to defy the odds, march towards their goals and dream of success while wide awake. The characters in this Sky possess the vision required to see the evolution of life at warp speed, while embracing the moments within the moment, like this one…; the moments that had never happened before and will never happen again. This is done while guiding communities and inspiring legions they rarely see and may never, ever encounter. This is dreaming. This is the Sky.
As an optimist I look to the Sky as a container of all things possible; a covenant for new endeavors and representation of the blank slate provided by life to craft sacred stories. I look to the Sky to be enlightened during the desolate times that often define our desires. Even when gray, the Sky provides reason for optimism; actually more at that time. The gray Sky represents a pantheon that gives pause to the unlimited region known as the gray areas. The land that allow us to consider "both", "and" instead of "either or". This is optimism. This is the Sky.
As a symbol of strength I look to the Sky as a steady force of refinement; a new way of considering life, a new way of living. This steadfast approach that highlights fortitude is often misconstrued as petulance however, the Sky knows, like the old wise men in villages, what the gods are whispering. The Sky uses its strength, power and coverage to hold these secrets, my secrets, your secrets in place via light via fragments of information from the healers, over 2000 seasons that bring forth our blessings. The Sky is in constant contact with the universe and muscles are being developed accordingly. This is strength. This is the Sky.
While mourning the recent loss of my mother, when in need of an inspiration, I meditate and think deeply. When doing so, I look up to the Sky; it's like an affirmation from mama, a drug, and think to myself, with my feet firmly planted on the ground;
"I'm, I'm Sky high,
I'm, I'm Sky high
I'm, I'm Sky high
Feels good to be home, baby! Feels good to be home!"

The following is an excerpt from Dr. Shelley Drogin's remarks at the recent LIOS Graduate College graduation in June 2011:
In a recent planning meeting with the Dean of LIOS Judy Heinrich and Organizational Systems Chair Mark Jones, we were reminded of one of the great educators, Parker Palmer. Parker wrote a book and founded a program called" the Courage to Teach." As we thought about LIOS Graduate College, the phrase "the Courage to Lead" was uttered and it was one of those YES moments. I want to expand upon the concept of "the Power of Yes." But first, let me begin with the alternatives to Yes.
Our minds know all too well NO (all of us are familiar with the terrible twos that are filled with NO's); we are quite familiar with the MAYBE's, the NO-BUT'S, or YES-BUT's. However, in contrast, there are those YES moments in life that our consciousness can fall into, those YES's that exist beyond our doubts, the YES's that have no end. When I speak of "the Courage to Lead," I am reminded that we must have the courage to attend to, to pay attention to, those YES's.
Courage as a concept and as a word is rooted in the heart. The head of leadership is more about theories of practice and practice of theories. The heart of leadership, "the Courage to Lead," is about our values and dreams. It is difficult to talk about courage without exploring fear. It has been said that courage is fear that has said its prayers. Let me tell you a true story about the first tightrope walker (taken from Mark S. Lewis' commencement speech at University of Texas, 2000).
In 1859 the Great Blondin — the man who invented the high wire act, announced to the world that he intended to cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope. Five thousand people including the Prince of Wales gathered to watch. Halfway across, Blondin suddenly stopped, steadied himself, backflipped into the air, landed squarely on the rope, then continued safely to the other side. During that year, Blondin crossed the Falls again and again–once blindfolded, once carrying a stove, once in chains, and once on a bicycle. Just as he was about to begin yet another crossing, this time pushing a wheelbarrow, he turned to the crowd and shouted "who believes that I can cross pushing this wheelbarrow." Every hand in the crowd went up. Blondin pointed at one man.
"Do you believe that I can do it?" he asked.
"Yes, I believe you can," said the man.
"Are you certain?" said Blondin.
"Yes," said the man.
"Absolutely certain?"
"Yes, absolutely certain."
"Thank you," said Blondin, "then, sir, get into the wheelbarrow."
Like that man in the crowd, we often know a lot of things, some with apparent certainty. But also like that man, there will be times in your life when knowing things won't matter as much as how scary the situation is–and when that happens you'll have to decide whether or not to get into the wheelbarrow. There are times when, in order to succeed, you will have to trust –when you will have to take a big leap of faith–and when that time comes I hope you will face your fear, say your prayers, and take appropriate action.
What you have earned as graduates of this amazing institution is the ability to move on, to dare to do anything. What you retain as graduates of this amazing institution is the privilege to return any time–to return emotionally, spiritually, or just to visit. And it is what you've learned at LIOS that will in part determine what you do out there.
And my hope is that "your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known."-anonymous

Life as a graduate student is often overwhelming. Take a busy schedule, limited finances, and a daunting reading list, and add in whatever major life transition you are experiencing at the moment, such as a divorce, a death in the family, or a newborn baby. Now, go write a sound, well-referenced, and creative academic paper.
What makes LIOS different from other graduate school programs is that, in addition to balancing a busy life, it challenges students to explore who we are and where we come from. What question have you always wanted—but been too afraid—to ask your mother? What are the rules of your family, and what role do you play? What cultural biases have crept into the crevices of your way of thinking? Well, your homework is to go ask those questions. To your parents. To your aunts and uncles. To your grandparents. Take all of that newly acquired systemic knowledge and apply it to yourself and your most intimate relationships.
Not terrifying enough for you? Well, you're only reading about it, possibly imagining it, but not actually experiencing it. LIOS is all about experiencing. The theories you read make so much sense on paper, but watch what happens to your insides as you study group theory in a group that is studying itself. Your mind jerks. You scramble to figure out what is going on. Your heart cracks open. A teacher asks you if you have a tendency to avoid conflict, then challenges you to try another method with a conflict that you currently have with another student. Throughout all of this you're being evaluated on a wide range of skills you're supposed to be developing. Oh yeah, and it's ok to cry.
Somehow, you're doing it. You read and you write papers, and you tell your mother that, even though things have gotten complicated, you love her. You move apartments and split up with your partner or find a new one, you find an internship or a project, and you don't have much time to look around. It's graduate school. It's overwhelming.
And going through it is wonderful preparation for life as a sound, creative professional.

A definition of leadership is emerging in my thinking based on several recent encounters with leaders who might not think of themselves as such.
I began graduate school at LIOS in part because I was inspired by a few graduates who awoke in me a sense of "I want that!" They had some way of being I could not articulate. They were powerful and vulnerable at the same time. They spoke about things that I did not know people could speak about in a workplace, like trust and care. It is only after several years that I now realize what I recognized in them. The "that" which I wanted was leadership. They spoke about what mattered to them. And that mattered.
As I watch my thoughts on leadership develop, I encounter my old definition of leadership. My story was something involving a charismatic person in a position of authority: presidents and CEOs, executives and inspiring political organizers. I think we could all name several of these types of leaders.
This story is transforming into recognition that a leader is a person, any person, who is deeply in tune with what arises in them and brings it forward into the world. Leadership is that simple. The complexity, if there is any, is getting out of my own way; to allow that which arises in me to have voice in the world. Even if it is not what is expected of me; even if it does not please the people around me; and maybe most importantly, even if it surprises me, I must not abandon authenticity for consistency.
Three experiences in particular have emboldened this emerging notion.
I had the honor of listening to seven colleagues present their practitioner theories shortly before we graduated. We each took a stand for what we believed characterizes healthy organizations and to present our individual theories of organizational change, influenced by other theorists we had encountered. I grew increasingly more inspired as each person spoke. When a person stands energetically in what is true and meaningful and important to them, even while making space for others' truths, they are leading. They are inspiring. They are electric.
I had a similar experience with a client group about the same time. I worked with a nonprofit staff and board of directors while they brainstormed ideas for fundraising. As people began to speak from the intersection of their passion for various activities combined with their deep love for the organization, they each became alive. The room filled with leaders who tuned in to the passions arising in them, brought them forward and created movement where there had been stuckness. I wanted to follow each one of them. Each one of them was a leader, inspiring the others to connect to the possibilities that were flowing through the room.
The third experience that fueled my thinking was a telephone call with a potential new business colleague. He introduced himself as a learner; not a consultant, not an organization development professional, but as a learner. He did not shower me with the facts and figures of his expertise, although considerable. He spoke about a potential client project as a learning opportunity for him, for the organization and possibly for me. He also shared some of his vulnerability with me, aspects of consulting work where he was not as strong. But rather than framing those as a deficit, he was simply sharing the self-awareness that informs the kinds of business partners he seeks. I entered the conversation somewhat prepared to rattle off my "creds" and sell myself. Instead it turned into a conversation of mutual learning about one another, our passions and our theories for what supports healthy change in organizations. The way he came forward with what was authentic for him was an act of leadership, and I followed, by revealing my own strengths and vulnerabilities with him.
These encounters in short succession led me to write. I created a blog site several months prior, but felt I needed to have something polished and worthy to say before I published. I was pre-managing expectations of potential clients and colleagues. One of the many things I do is teach social media classes, and I am well aware that anything we shout to the world atop our highly-discoverable electronic soapbox can take on a life of its own and "brand" us. What if my personal brand is a person who expresses authentically both her strengths and vulnerabilities? What if this also creates space for others to do the same? What if I trust that what arises in me is something that wants to be said in the world? This is leadership.

This just in: Bin Laden has finally been killed.
I start to see the reaction amongst many people in the West: celebration, rejoicing, time to party, "it's about time he got what was coming to him."
Somehow, I get the feeling he (and many other people he was aligned with) were thinking the same things about us after 9/11.
And we hated them for it.
Which begs the question, "why is it then acceptable for us to feel and react that way?"
Are we better than they are? Are we right and they are wrong? Why do we get to claim the "moral high ground?"
Is that racism? Ethnocentrism? Who are we to say who deserves to die, any more than he did? I'm sure he had his reasons, same as we did.
Don't get me wrong – I believe in holding people accountable for their actions. However, wishing death upon another person is not about accountability – it's about revenge and vindication. It is reactive. It is a way for us to feel better about ourselves, to temporarily avoid the suffering, anguish, pain, and fear that we all face.
And yet, our darkness still lives within us. We still suffer – another's death does not truly bring us liberation nor release that darkness and shadow. Our anger and pain still lives within us, ready to emerge again once someone else steps up to commit some heinous act that we despise. It doesn't go away – it simply goes underground, causing us daily misery in forms such as disease, unhappiness, scarcity, illness, and persistent emotional states such as fear, anger, and grief. We may temporarily have the illusion that we are safe and secure now, only to soon find some other reason or circumstance to project our insecurity and lack of safety onto.
We become liberated once we can face and embrace our own shadow. The part of us that could kill if we were pushed to that point. The part of us that hates. The part of us that is intolerant. The part of us that thinks we have been dealt injustice, lack of compassion, been judged for our beliefs and way of life. The part of us that is righteous and thinks we are better than everyone else.
It makes me sad to see people celebrating someone's death in such a way. It makes us no better than the monster that we judged him to be.
We have seen the enemy, and he is us. Stand for justice, and confront the enemy within. It may not be easy. You may not like what you see. It may be extremely uncomfortable. And, this is where peace begins.

Steve Jobs, legendary CEO of Apple (formerly Apple Computer), has been described as a master of RDF. The Reality Distortion Field is an attempt to describe his power to say everything and nothing in a keynote speech and have people spend hours in bliss before they begin to realize what they didn't hear. Tuesday's keynote speech at Macworld 2007 is a prime example.
Macworld 2007
Opening with a report of amazing continued success with the iTunes Music Store, Jobs announced that Paramount movies will now be available for purchase.
The Apple TV (previously code-named "iTV") will be shipping in February, and contains everything previously announced and a little more. It has an internal hard disk and syncs with one Mac and can accept streaming content from up to five others.
Then the iPhone is announced, and the markets go wild. Rim (makers of the BlackBerry) and Palm stock plummeted as Apple stock soared. Listening to the speech, it is easy to think that this isn't really a phone, but a new Mac in a tiny form factor. It runs OS X, the operating system that powers my iMac and my wife's MacBook! It's got a lot of custom software and an intriguing touch interface, as well as some other nice bells and whistles, but isn't it really a full-fledged hand-held computer?
No, it's not.
First let's talk about what wasn't announced. No new software whatsoever. No iLife '07, no iWork '07, no OS X "Leopard," nothing. Does this mean we won't see these updates? No, it means that this show was about one thing only: the iPhone.
There were other brief announcements. Jobs did counter the rumor that the iTunes Store had seen a slowdown in sales. It may have seen a slowdown in traffic — which is what the rumor was based on — but sales continue to rise steadily. Jobs also announced the Paramount partnership, and as the first movie company in which Jobs doesn't hold 7% of the stock, that's a good sign. Jobs also provided a bit more detail — and a release date — for the Apple TV, which he announced last year. But that's it. Everything else — eighty minutes of the 108-minute speech — was about the iPhone.
It's interesting to speculate about the choices that went into this announcement, but so far, that's all it is — speculation. Would Jobs have announced Paramount if he had not needed to address the iTunes slowdown rumor? Would the Apple TV have made the schedule had they not pre-announced it last year? Did they pre-announce it last year because they weren't ready to announce anything else?
The reality is this: no shipping products were announced. None. OS X "Leopard" is still a future event. iWork and iLife updates are still future events. Apple TV won't ship until next month. The iPhone won't ship until June — assuming all goes well between now and then.
The reality is this: the iPhone is not a 3G phone. Jobs announced that Apple intends to make 3G phones in the future, but not yet.
The reality is this: despite the claim that the iPhone runs "OS X," reports from Time (page 2) and Jupiter Research say that you won't be able to download or run standard OSX applications from anyone but Apple. Sure, you need a special version of Safari to browse the web on a tiny screen, but surely there are plenty of developers champing at the bit to get their apps running on the iPhone!
We don't yet know what processor is running inside the iPhone, nor how stripped-down the operating system is. Is it "OS X" like "Windows CE" is "Windows," which is to say in name only? How many different processors does OS X run on now? Even the technical specifications at the official iPhone web site are sparse and not very technical. Presumably more details will slowly be released now that the secret is out, especially as the FCC approval process progresses. Since the iPhone isn't yet shipping, there's actually plenty of time for some of the details to change, too.
Will we eventually see the iPhone work with any carriers other than Cingular? Jobs described them as Apple's exclusive partner. It sounds as if Cingular had to do some work to enable the email-like view of voicemail that is a strong selling point of the iPhone. Since you won't be able to buy an iPhone without a Cingular contract, the $499 sticker price probably reflects substantial subsidies from Cingular already.
On the stock market, RIMM and PALM have been hurting since the announcement, while AAPL is soaring. But will the iPhone really take over the market from these "smartphones?" The forced coupling with Cingular could hurt it here, though many people in the early-adopters market won't balk at the expense.
One other big question: how will the iPhone sync? To succeed, the iPhone will need to sync with Microsoft Exchange running on Windows, something Steve Jobs didn't mention. It's hard to believe Apple doesn't know that, however, so for now I'll assume that Jobs didn't want to mention Microsoft during his big speech. I don't think syncing with iTunes is going to cut it.
At 42:48 into the keynote address, to demonstrate the iPod features of the iPhone, Steve Jobs chooses the Beatles. Given the long history of legal issues between Apple Records and Apple Computer (now Apple), this is either a sign of thawing relations or a serious poke in the eye.
At the time of Steve Jobs' keynote speech, Apple and Cisco hadn't yet signed paperwork on an agreement allowing Apple to use the name "iPhone," currently in use for some Linksys products. The paperwork was in Apple's hands, however, and has presumably been signed by now.
The Future
As the Time article reveals, initial development on the new touch interface was done for a possible Mac tablet computer, presumably one better than the third-party ModBook announced this week. So far what we've seen is a very small and constrained Mac tablet — the iPhone. Will the next-generation iMacs or MacBooks make the mouse and keyboard optional?
Will we see hard-drive based iPods later this year or next year with the same touch interface, minus the phone features? If the iPhone price reflects major underwriting by Cingular, it could be a while before the multi-touch interface makes it into lower-end iPods.
The Bottom Line
For software releases and iPod updates, we'll have to wait. But not long, I think.
The iPhone is one of most beautiful products I've ever seen, a product that could only come from Apple. Two hundred patents notwithstanding, every other company with any connection to the market is now rushing to see how much they can do to make their own iPhone knockoffs. I suspect Apple will be able to keep ahead of the competitors with the iPhone, though, just as they have with the iPod. The iPhone will be a huge success.
But while it's a marvelous and unique combination of iPod and phone, with Internet features, it's not yet a handheld computer in any real sense. It has built-in Wi-Fi, but can't download and run programs. It's a marvelous idea that this hand-held device is running OS X, but until it's more open — either officially or unofficially — it's just an idea.Powered by Sidelines

That life, part "creation", part publicity, part pure fantasy, existed; it was also only a small part of the man. I knew him, I think, rather better than most; he was my fourth son's godfather and I wrote a book about him, 24 years ago now. That is, he and I sat in the Hotel Suecia in Madrid, and at his finca in Andalucia, for some weeks, and he talked and I listened.
I had never met an athlete then, nor one since, who could come close to his innate intelligence. In that sense, the fact that he was a bullfighter was an anomaly, for he could have been anything. But a very fine bullfighter he was: precisely because he was intelligent, and innocent and passionate, and respectful of his adversary who was an animal, in the same way that Luis Miguel could be, a creature of instinct with a deep desire to survive.
He was certainly the best tor-ero I saw in the ring in some 40 years. It was like watching a seduction, a deadly flirtation; the risk appalled him and it appealed to him: "Man and bull and public assemble in one place for one purpose: to see the bull killed. The arena is the place in which we are all going to be judged." And of course only one can come out alive. That is drama of an antic kind, and Luis Miguel exploited it better than any other fighter I saw.
Not only was he brave, he was also knowing, and could make connections. Next door to the hotel the Madrid Opera chorus was rehearsing Don Giovanni; over and over again they sang "Viva, viva, viva la liberta". Luis Miguel sat on the end of the bed, shoeless: "Every wound I bear is inscribed with the name of a woman," he said. "The bulls knew, they knew that on the day I was a loser, I was thinking about something else, and the bulls were jealous. I wasn't paying them the attention they thought they deserved, and they got me for it."
I don't think Luis Miguel liked writing the book: he felt he was giving something away. At the same time, it was an opportunity to think about his life.
When he broke up with the lovely Lucia, it was because she had put a house around his free soul. A house that had marble and a big bedroom and baths, from which he would flee to sleep in a hut outside. Anything that had to be done was a constraint. Constraints were bad, they were obligations, and when he saw a constraint, he fled.
I asked him once if he regretted anything in his life and he answered - a maxim from which I have learned much - que no hay errores en la vida, "that there are no mistakes in life". That one has lived the life one had to live as well as one could.

Nenad Mijatovic NBA Draft Scouting Report
September 27, 2004
Nenad Mijatovic is a flashy point guard with a special ability to score. Gifted with nice athletic ability, he's really a quick player. His offensive repertoire is based on two main strengths: his jumper and his penetrations. His shot is quite effective, with his range reaching the three point line, and he feels comfortable shooting off the dribble. Good mechanics, good release speed, Mijatovic is already a very nice gunner. His quickness and great handles with both hands make him a very good penetrator. He shows a good first step and can drive in traffic.
He can finish himself, using both hands with equal ability, or he can feed a teammate, which becomes perhaps his main source of production and, therefore, assists within the set offense.
But where Nenad's game really flourishes is on the break. You can feel how much he loves it. He's hard to stop because of his quickness and his decision making. He can finish the play easily thanks to his superior speed, good athleticism and size, or pass the ball generally with very good results, even with a flashy move, given the chance.
Nenad's quickness is reflected on his lateral defensive movement, as he's a hard player to beat. It's up to him how good of a defender he wants to become. Right now he shows quite a good attitude, although he doesn't give the full effort everytime. He also has decent hands to steal the ball.
As a scoring point guard, Mijatovic lacks some directing skills, specially on the set offense. Penetrations aside, he's really not a heavy game creator, and doesn't show as good court vision on static situations as he's able on transition or drive & dish plays.
He sometimes forces too much his drives to the basket, getting in some traffic jams with low possibilities of success. His shooting selection could also improve, and he is a little streaky sometimes. As a hot-blooded player, he doesn't always play under control, but I don't find it particulary worrying, as those bad decisions aren't the usual pattern, and he's very young so he has enough time to mature.
Nenad Mijatovic is a member of the ''Nemanja Aleksandrov'' generation of Serbian and Montegro national junior team. That team, which includes future Draft prospects such as Aleksandrov, Dragan Labovic, and Uros Tripkovic, took part in a U-18 challenge round of the European Championship qualifiers, and decisively won all 5 games. Playing behind starting PG Uros Tripkovic, Mijatovic managed to score 5 points and 1.4 assists per 11 minutes per game. At the unofficial World Championships for Young Man, the Albert Schweizer tournament which was played just weeks following the challenge round, a similar situation occurred, when he had to play behind Uros Tripkovic. He got to start at the 2 guard position for one game only, and had averaged 7 points and 2 assists per 14.5 minutes per game.
It's still early to predict anything about Mijatovic given his age and position on court. He's a talented kid, with nice potential due to his quickness and skills, so the first round isn't out of order. But he's still so far away from that point, not having played at senior level yet, that you could also not hear his name again. Nevertheless, he's a name to look out for in the future.
Nenad has nearly all the tools the pros look for in a PG. He's already one of the better Yugo point prospects in many many years. If he keeps up the hard work and shows a decent improvement, we could find really a thrilling player down the road.
Nenad Mijatovic made his senior team debut at 14 years of age! Even though he is, as of right now, still with a ''minor league affiliate'' of KK Buducnost, he debuted with them in the regional Adriatic league back in 2001. The coach that called him up that season was Mr. Bogdan Tanjevic, who holds a very distinctive and long career throughout Europe with various degrees of success, ranging from a Euroleague title in 1979 to national championships in former Yugoslavia and Italy. However, his biggest success came with the Italian national team, when he won the European Championships title in 1999, which is the crown Italy had been waiting for since 1983. Regardless to say, for a 14 year kid to get any kind of playing time under a coach with such credentials, he needs to be special.

26 May 1953, Amityville, New York, USA. A guitar practitioner of what he describes as arrogant ambient music, Torn enjoys the conflict between sounds that are hypnotic and sounds that are like giant mosquitoes from hell, attacking. He says, If I play something thats too pretty I feel compelled to go after it with razorblades. Jazz-educated, inspired by the minimalism of Terry Riley, a veteran of half a dozen rock and jazz rock groups, former leader of the Everyman Band, film-music composer and guitarist, Torn is a gifted player still in search of the optimum context. He contributed usefully to Jan Garbareks and David Sylvians touring bands; his own records have found him playing idiosyncratic neo-fusion (Cloud About Mercury) and, rather ill-advisedly, singing Jimi Hendrixs Voodoo Chile (Door X). In 1991, he launched a new improvising rock group with Steve Jansen, Richard Barbieri,...

"Net neutrality" has become one of the most hotly debated issues before lawmakers and regulators in Washington this year. Proponents of net neutrality argue that the government should regulate the conduct of broadband Internet Service Providers to ensure that the Internet is not divided into "fast lanes" and "slow lanes," and to prevent them from offering preferential treatment to providers of content, applications, or services that pay more for priority access to the consumer. Opponents of net neutrality argue that network owners should be able to manage traffic on their networks without government intervention. They complain that regulation of Internet services will inhibit competition and innovation, and will create disincentives for network owners to upgrade their networks.
Although the debate has been going on for more than a decade, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to consider new rules this summer and fall. The two main points of contention in the public debate over net neutrality before the FCC are: (i) whether the FCC should reclassify broadband Internet service as common carrier service, and (ii) whether the FCC should prohibit or regulate paid prioritization deals. This debate is significant for every company whose products or services depend on broadband Internet access, and especially for those in the video game industry whose businesses depend on consistently high-quality, low-latency service. The FCC released its latest proposals on May 15, 2014 and has opened a proceeding for public comment on the proposals with deadlines on July 15 and September 10.
The FCC issued its new proposals in response to a decision in January by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which invalidated portions of the rules the FCC adopted in 2010. Those rules incorporated three major components: (i) transparency rules, which required broadband service providers to disclose accurate information regarding their network management practices and terms of service; (ii) a "no blocking" rule, which prohibited broadband providers from blocking lawful content, applications and services, subject to reasonable network management; and (iii) an anti-discrimination rule, which did not apply to mobile broadband providers, but prohibited providers of fixed broadband services from discriminating in the transmission of lawful network traffic over a consumer's broadband Internet access service.
Verizon and others challenged the rules on the basis that the FCC lacked statutory authority to adopt them and that the statute prohibited the FCC from treating broadband providers as common carriers. The Court of Appeals held that, although the FCC had authority to adopt regulations to promote deployment of broadband services under Section 706 of the Communications Act, it could not impose traditional common carrier obligations on providers of those services. It found that the Communications Act expressly prohibits the FCC from regulating non-telecommunications services as "common carrier" services, and the FCC has consistently refrained from applying common carrier regulations to broadband services. The Court of Appeals vacated the no blocking and antidiscrimination rules because they appeared to be common carrier rules, but it upheld the rules requiring transparency as they were consistent with other statutory requirements.
In its new proceeding, the FCC proposes to enhance the transparency rules to give consumers, edge providers, and regulators greater access to disclosures of network congestion and notice of any new practices by broadband providers that might impact consumers' use of online services. It also proposes to reinstitute the previous no blocking rule and to adopt a new rule that would incorporate an enforceable legal standard of conduct barring practices by broadband service providers that threaten the "openness" of the Internet.
The FCC seeks to address the controversy surrounding "paid prioritization" of Internet traffic using the proposed enforcement mechanism. Although the rules the FCC adopted in 2010 did not expressly prohibit paid prioritization, the FCC stated that paid prioritization deals were unlikely to be permitted given the prohibition on unreasonable discrimination. The Court of Appeals examined this issue closely in its assessment of the FCC's statutory authority to adopt the rules. Focusing on the FCC's statement concerning paid prioritization, the Court of Appeals determined that the FCC had left no room for individualized bargaining with edge providers. The FCC's new proposal asks commenters whether it should prohibit paid prioritization deals outright, or whether there are other methods it may use to ensure that broadband providers do not treat consumers, edge providers, and innovators unfairly. It also asks for information on private transactions between edge providers and broadband providers and how these deals affect the market.
Regardless of what rules the FCC ultimately adopts concerning paid prioritization, the FCC will have to articulate a more sound statutory basis for the rules than it did in 2010 if they are to survive judicial challenge. The FCC proposes to continue to rely on Section 706 of the Communications Act, but to do so in a manner that is more consistent with its statutory authority, as interpreted by the Court of Appeals. The FCC has also asked for comment as to whether it should instead use its authority under Title II of the Communications Act to reclassify broadband Internet service as a "telecommunications" service, subject to common carrier regulation. Edge providers such as Netflix and Mozilla have publicly supported this approach, as have many advocacy groups.
Net neutrality will be a significant issue in the context of merger review proceedings before the FCC and antitrust authorities this year. Several major providers of broadband services have voluntarily agreed to abide by the 2010 rules until new rules are in place. Net neutrality has also generated considerable interest on Capitol Hill and may become the catalyst for a long-awaited overhaul of federal communications laws to bring them in line with present-day technologies.
The rules the FCC adopts will impact the video game industry as they will affect all online video streaming and other Internet-based services, particularly as games become more interactive and utilize more bandwidth. While the proposed transparency rules will likely help video game companies and consumers assess whether broadband providers are living up to expected levels of service, increased scrutiny of private contracts between broadband providers and online game companies and other regulations on edge services may be unwelcome. Video game companies should be assessing how the proposed rules could affect them and should be developing their legislative and regulatory strategies now to ensure that their input in the public comment process is most effective.

As a psychiatric social worker in a busy urban clinic, I work with patients often just discharged from long prison stays. I have seen firsthand how incarceration only exacerbates mental health problems. Many of the individuals I see suffer from what is called a co-occurring disorder. That is, they suffer from both psychiatric and addictive illness.
I also experience this struggle at a very personal level. I am the mother of an adult son who suffers from addictive illness and who has been incarcerated multiple times mostly for minor violations (not showing up for a probation hearing). My son suffers from a co-occurring disorder and, like many people in jail and prison, has never harmed anyone. Both his mental challenges and his addiction compromise his ability to problem-solve, plan for the future and to have a high tolerance for frustration.
Incarceration has only exacerbated his mental problems. He's received no vocational training, no comprehensive psychiatric treatment (including medication management and psychotherapy) and no help with the huge challenges of re-entering a world with no housing, no food, no financial support and no employment. We have fought the fight so long that we're exhausted emotionally, physically and financially. But his co-occurring disorder remains.
As a society, we have tried and failed to arrest our way out of these social and health issues. That approach is inadequate, unjust and expensive. And what do we have to show for it? About one in four individuals in state prison suffers from mental illness. Nearly four out of five who could benefit from substance abuse treatment do not receive it.

Armor for Sleep
Sure, there are plenty o' emo droids out there whining about hurtful girls, hopeless work environments and self-destructive habits, but Armor for Sleep is here to tell you there's something else . . . the afterworld, a place of never-ending moodiness where you have the option of either going to heaven to play new age music, or remaining on Earth, patrolling your hometown in ghost form like the ultimate outsider. That's just some of the conceptual fun you're in for on this New Jersey band's most recent album, What to Do When You Are Dead. With recent recurring appearances on MTV and MTV2's Discover and Download Live, Armor for Sleep seems poised for something big that doesn't involve the Grim Reaper. On the other side of the existential coin, there's Boys Night Out, Canadians who aren't afraid of coming off doofy, with superlative titles -- like "The Subtleties That Make Mass Murderers Out of Otherwise Decent Human Beings" -- that should send Morrissey scrambling for the nearest legal pad.

Lakeshore Chinooks tab Eddy Morgan as manager
The Lakeshore Chinooks of the Northwoods League named UW-Superior coach Eddy Morgan as their manager for the upcoming season Wednesday.
Morgan joined the Chinooks for the inaugural 2012 season as an assistant coach. Morgan has won more games in his six seasons than any other head coach in the history of Yellowjackets baseball.
The Chinooks were 35-35 in their inaugural season under UW-Whitewater coach John Vodenlich, who decided not to return for the upcoming campaign due to family responsibilities and duties at his school.

Should My Workplace Develop A Mental Health Policy?
Every company should think about developing a mental health policy.
There are three simple steps to developing a policy.
1. Auditing
What are existing levels of stress and mental ill health in your workplace? In what way is the organisation's structure and functions contributing?
There are organisations that can come in and help you assess the wellbeing of your organisation. If that isn't an option for your organisation try out the health check questions we've put together.
2. Developing the policy
This should outline the importance of the policy for the organisation and explain how the policy fits in with other company policies such as sickness absence, and things like alcohol and drug misuse policies.
The policy should outline a commitment to promoting and monitoring mental health at work, and acknowledge the importance of creating a "safe environment" for employees and their mental wellbeing i.e. using reasonable efforts to ensure the workplace is free from bullying and harassment. The policy should stress what can be done to support staff with mental health problems and cover the area of employing people with mental health problems.
The policy can be broken down into:
- Introduction
- Scope
- Other HR policies
- Organisational philosophy and commitment on health promotion and mental ill health prevention
- Details of the auditing process
- Training
- Monitoring and evaluation
- Costs of implementation
3. Implementing the policy
When converting the policy into practice it's important to consider that it needs to be supported by senior management who will effectively communicate it to all employees. Ensure staff know who to approach in the first instance for help. Bring in awareness training around mental health for staff and continue to monitor the effectiveness of the policy.

Creation > Consumption
We only have so many hours in a day. It's true. I checked.
You can do your own math, but if you're the working type, if you've got a kid or a significant other to whom you ought to give at least the bare minimum face time, you're probably looking at three or so hours each day in which you're not working/eating/sleeping/driving. You've got a choice of how to spend those three hours. More often than not, it's easy to just spend them in a passive state, letting it all wash over you like you're half-buried at the beach.
Let's see what I've got here: DVR'd eps of Better Call Saul, The League, Archer, and a dozen 30 for 30s. At least ten Spotify albums I want to dive deep into. A good 12 hours of podcasts, with more arriving in the queue every hour. Hundreds upon hundreds of articles-I-have-to-read saved in Pocket.
And Christ, that doesn't even account for the actual physical objects, the books and magazines and video games and what-have-you stacked up in my office. Some of it's work, sure, but much more of it is just Stuff, stuff to be consumed. I'd bet you're the same; the Internet is a vast Vegas buffet of fascination, and we've all overloaded our trays.
Here's the deal, though, and this is as much self-motivation as it is attempted inspiration: rather than trying to cut down this pile of Content, why not add to it? Why not create some of your own Stuff to add to this mad pile of nonsense? Sure, it'll probably be awful — 90 percent of everything is — but awful work you've done yourself is still better than work never done.
So, yeah. Today, take a few minutes to create instead of consume. Those shows/songs/sites will be there tomorrow. It'd be badass if you had something alongside them.

King's scientists win Wellcome Image Award
An image of a breast cancer tumour, captured by scientists from King's Institute of Pharmaceutical Science, has been selected as one of the Wellcome Image Awards 2014 winning images.
This year's awards, which culminated in a ceremony hosted last night by Fergus Walsh, Medical Correspondent for the BBC, invite the public to 'come closer' with a selection of winning images that celebrate the best in science imaging talent and techniques.
King's winning image (above), produced by Dr Khuloud Al-Jamal and Izzat Suffian, shows high magnification images of breast cancer cells treated with doxorubicin, an anti-cancer drug used to treat many types of cancer. The purple regions show areas of cancer cells dying through a mechanism known as programmed death or 'apoptosis', which is where cells effectively commit suicide in a controlled, predictable way. Being able to specifically turn on this pathway in cancer cells will reduce a tumour's size and hopefully limit its growth.
The 18 winning images were chosen by seven judges from all those acquired by the Wellcome Images picture library since the 2012 Awards. A striking image of a mechanical heart pump inside the chest of a patient was announced as the overall winner last night.
Other award-winning images, which can be viewed online, include electron micrographs of a kidney stone, a head louse egg, an x-ray of a bat, a three dimensional computed tomography image of a seal skull and a cross section of a flower bud.
Dr Khuloud Al-Jamal said: 'I am thrilled that our image has won an award alongside others of such a very high standard. I would like to thank the Wellcome Trust for giving us this marvelous opportunity.
'My team works on developing nanoscale carriers to deliver anti-cancer drugs to specific targets in the body. Without such carriers, anti-cancer drugs spread throughout the body, which can have adverse side effects.'
Fergus Walsh, who was also a member of the judging panel, said: 'As always, this year's entries are both technically brilliant, and visually striking. Never before have I thought of a kidney stone or a nit as beautiful, but the Wellcome Image Awards show time and again that there can always be a different way of looking at things.'
For the first time, the winning images will be displayed across the UK at four major science centres as well as in a window display at the Wellcome Trust's headquarters in London. Glasgow Science Centre, the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Manchester, Techniquest in Cardiff and W5 in Belfast will all host simultaneous exhibitions, and there will be a display at the Ruskin Gallery at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge during the Cambridge Science Festival, bringing these images up-close for a nationwide audience.

Teenager Yashika Bhageerathi has been forced to leave Britain after a judge refused to grant an emergency injunction to allow her to appeal.
The 19-year-old, who fled her native Mauritius with her mother and brother because of an "extremely dangerous" relative in 2012, was due to sit her A-levels next month and her school was at the forefront of a campaign to allow her to stay. Some 177,000 people signed a petition calling on Home Secretary Theresa May to let her remain in Britain with her family.
However appeal judge Lord Justice Richards refused to order a stay during a telephone hearing as Miss Bhageerathi was being driven to Heathrow Airport for a 9pm flight.
Shortly before the plane took off, her mother, Sowbhagyawatee Bageerathi, told Channel 4 News: "Where she is going, she is worried about the life and the education. She has worked so hard here and now they want to ruin her life. I am very sad for my daughter. I am very worried. I want everybody to go together and not to send her alone."
Her school, Oasis Academy Hadley, in Enfield, said on its Twitter account: "Who wants to bet the Government would do anything in their power to help a white British citizen to escape abuse? Unfair. #FightForYashika."
Her MP, David Burrowes, a Conservative, said he was "deeply disappointed".
"What is the harm of her just simply being allowed to continue to do her exams and be with her family?" he said.
His point was echoed by Yvette Cooper, Labour's shadow Home Secretary, who said she could not understand why officials were "refusing to apply a bit of common sense". "Why not let this teenager get her exams done and have her case handled alongside her family?" she said.
A Home Office spokesman said Miss Bhageerathi was being "removed" not "deported" from the UK because her visa had run out, and that she "would be banned from re-entering the UK".
He pointed to official guidance which says that "immigration offenders" can be banned from returning to Britain for 10 years if they are "removed or deported following their breach" as opposed to leaving voluntarily at their own expense.Reuse content

David Pollack might have just had an "oops" moment. Pollack, when speaking on ESPN's College GameDay about the college football playoff selection committee (which is still being formed/announced), seemed to imply that women do not belong aboard. His reasoning? He thinks that the committee should be made up of people who "played football". For those unaware, it was announced yesterday that former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will be joining the committee.
Do you agree with Pollack's reasoning?

Russian Lender Tinkoff Is Seeking $1.09 Billion in London IPOJason Corcoran
TCS Group Holding Plc, the owner of Tinkoff Credit Systems, increased the amount it plans to raise in a London initial public offering to at least $1.09 billion from $870 million, according to an e-mailed statement.
TCS is selling $175 million in new shares in the form of global depositary receipts and $912 million in existing shares, the Moscow-based lender said in the statement. Chairman Oleg Tinkov, who owns 61 percent of the bank, will sell stock, along with Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Baring Vostok Capital Partners, Horizon Capital, Vostok Nafta and Altruco Trustees Ltd.
TCS set the price range on Oct. 14 at $14 to $17.50 a global depositary receipt, valuing the bank from $2.6 billion to $3.2 billion. The order book closes at 4 p.m. London time today and the shares start trading tomorrow, the statement said.
Since it was founded in 2007, Tinkoff has issued more than 3.5 million credit cards in Russia and ranks third in such lending, according to the company. The bank, which has no branches, is modeled on Capital One Financial Corp. in the U.S., a pioneer of card distribution by direct mail, which Tinkov said he learned about while living in San Francisco. Tinkov has created and sold several businesses, including a frozen-food producer, a retail electronics chain, a brewery and restaurants.
Banks managing the offer may sell as much as $163 million in additional shares under an over-allotment option, the statement said. Tinkoff will maintain a stake of about 50 percent, according to the statement.

Ex-Uganda national team coach Mubiru arrested for gay sex - (PICTURES INSIDE)
Former Uganda national team coach Chris Mubiru has been arrested in Kampala for allegedly having anal sex with a young player and he is expected to be put before trial for sodomy.
Mubiru, the former head coach of the country's soccer team called the Cranes, is being held in a police station awaiting trial over charges of gay sex.
He was arrested on Monday and interrogated for more than four hours before he was detained at Katwe Police Station in Kampala for allegedly sodomizing one of his team players last year.
The coach, who managed local giants Sports Club Villa before being appointed as the national team coach, was nabbed after photographs appeared in a local tabloid allegedly having anal sexual intercourse with male youths.
The tabloid Red Pepper last year published pictures of Mubiru along with the caption 'Smoked out! Uganda cranes boss nabbed sodomising players – Shocking pictures inside.'
Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda and punishable by the death penalty.
Police spokesperson Judith Nabakooba said police are holding Mr Mubiru on the sex incidents that appeared in the media and in videos obtained by the detectives.
"What we need now is to record statements of those who claim that he sexually abused them. Whoever has such a complaint should go to Katwe Police Station and help police prosecute the suspect,†Ms Nabakooba said yesterday.
Police detectives told the Daily Monitor that Mr Mubiru denied to be the person in the videos and the media having sex with the youths.
Police opened a general enquiry file (GEF) early this year but they failed to arrest Mr Mubiru because he was reportedly out of the country.
Ms Nabakooba said they are also looking at defilement offences under Section 1 (29) of the Penal Code Act that makes it a crime if any person attempts to perform a sexual act with another person who is below the age of 18 years.
The crime, under Section 1 (29) of the Penal Code Act, is punishable by 18 years in prison on conviction.
Police are yet to establish the age of the suspected victims in the video.
