How to Hook your Audience?
Kathleen Ann Thompson, artisitic director of Belleherst Productions, gleans from her 25 year experience in directing and producing award winning shows for Belleherst by opening up the discussion of 'fixed point' and its relevance to clarity on the stage.
Lack of clarity on the stage opens a pandora's box of audience responses...none of which are positive if we want our production to succeed. An audience which isn't clear about the production's action, thought content or character development begins to tune out, doubt their own theatrical sophistication, become distracted trying to figure everything out or fights a growing level of frustration. At its very minimal effect, lack of clarity on the stage speaks to the audience of mediocrity and a lack of skill. They simply disengage. Clarity is a necessary virtue on the stage even if the message of the production is to create a paradoxical and ambiguous challege to the viewer's thinking. Its a prestigious mark of excellence.
Fixed Point is an over-arching theatrical principal whose use is ubiquitous in all genres of theatre and in various developmental areas of dramatic composition. Fixed Point is the technique which most influences clarity on the stage. Kathleen Ann Thompson takes on this little mentioned theatrical technique and exposes the harmful results of being ignorant of its value or of lacking knowlege of how to apply it.

The Colony
in Books
A colony of extraterrestrial migrants arrives on Earth hoping to integrate into society. However, upon discovering that the new arrivals are acctually alien-human hybrids, the people of Planet Earth start to have second thoughts about welcoming 200,000 off-world migrants. Worse still is the fact that the alien colony ship hoveing in space above Earth carries secrets within it which are as difficult to comprehend for humankind, as it is for the extraterrestrial travellers themselves. The alien colonists have no memory of life before the ship, but they will discover a shocking truth about just how closely related to the inhabitants of Earth they all are. This revelation leads to confusion, chaos and fighting which threatens to destroy their hopes of assimilating. In the first book of the series, Arrival, colonist Mikal, and his love, Arianna, are thrust into the center of a major revelation about the true origins of their people, a bombshell that won't be the last.

Multivariate statistical analyses of cranial and dental morphology and comparison of pelage coloration were used to describe a new subspecies of giant panda from the Qinling Mountain range of Shaanxi Province in China. Based on 2 components that were highly related to skull and molar sizes, respectively, principal components analysis grouped all samples into 2 clusters corresponding to the Qinling and Sichuan samples. The Qinling cluster was characterized by significantly smaller skulls and larger molars compared to the Sichuan cluster. Based on skull and molar sizes, discriminant function analysis also correctly identified all samples from Qinling and Sichuan populations. Comparison of pelage coloration indicated that Sichuan individuals had black chest patches and white ventral pelages, whereas Qinling pandas had dark brown chest patches and brown ventral pelages. These results reveal that the diagnostic characteristics of the new Qinling subspecies are a small skull, large molars, dark brown chest patch, and brown ventral pelage.

A U-13 derby match between Bahia and Vitoria in the Independence Cup final resulted in the kind of violence we're more accustomed to seeing from adult footballers. It started when a Vitoria striker was having a bit of banter with Bahia defenders. The goalkeeper apparently heard something he didn't appreciate and delivered a chop punch to the Vitoria player's back, prompting him to fall over.
This sparked an all-out kick fight with Bahia players swarming around a downed Vitoria player and mercilessly unloading on him while another Vitoria player ran the gauntlet through a maze of flying boots before collapsing on the side of the pitch. In the end, Bahian was awarded a 2-1 win though the match was ended early. Two Vitoria players needed medical attention but should be fine.
This has been the Dirty Tackle of the Day: a chronicling of unfortunate events.

Texas A&M considering a medical redshirt for Ricky Seals-Jones
Ricky Seals-Jones showed why he was considered one of the top recruits in the 2013 class in Texas A&M's season opener against Rice, pulling in a 71-yard touchdown grab. Now, unfortunately for Seals-Jones and the Aggies, there's a possibility his next touchdown catch won't take place until 2014.
The San Antonio Express-News reports Texas A&M is considering using a medical redshirt on Seals-Jones that would keep him out for the rest of the season.
"He was in there a little bit (against Alabama), but his knee is kind of bothering him, and we're going to do what's best for him," said Kevin Sumlin during his radio show. "He's injured and he tried to go a little bit on Saturday and it's still not right. So we're looking at it from a medical standpoint … he's either going to play up to a certain point in time, which is now, or he gets a medical redshirt.
"That's an ongoing conversation at this point."
In order to use a medical redshirt on a player the player has to have played in less than 30 percent of a team's games in a season, which in a 12-game season, means three games or less. At this point Seals-Jones has played in two games for the Aggies, as he sat out the game against Sam Houston State.

Pegasystems Announces Hadoop Big Data Support
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – April 18, 2012 – Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the leader in Business Process Management (BPM) and software for customer centricity, today announced integration with Apache Hadoop to enhance its industry-leading predictive and adaptive analytics offering.
Working in conjunction with several major customers, Pegasystems completed a successful reference implementation of Hadoop within its environment. The marriage of a big data Hadoop technology with Pega's adaptive and real-time recommendation engine marks an industry breakthrough for advanced multi-channel customer interactions.
The customer database was built on Hadoop with 17,000 selectable items mapped against a database of 2.5 million consumers. The predictive models deployed used multiple profile dimensions including preferences, history and priority. The Pega engine consumed Hadoop-based analytic summaries, and then refined customer preferences with built-in adaptive and predictive analytics. Because the solution manages real-time interactions, the system continuously and dynamically improved the underlying predictive models.
Quotes & Commentary:
"This combination of data-driven recommendations from Hadoop with our highly successful adaptive and self-learning predictive model architecture has generated significantly more insight from raw big data than was previously possible," said Dr. Rob Walker, Vice President of Decision Management and Analytics at Pegasystems. "Big data is most useful when it's actionable and used to drive smart decisions. We are thrilled with the competitive advantage that this will give our clients."
"Predictive analytics are becoming more-widely used in intelligent, event-driven business operations," said Roy Schulte, Vice President and Distinguished Analyst at Gartner. "As the volume of event data grows, and businesses understand the benefits of running more-sophisticated analytics to enable intra-day improvements in their operations, we expect to see more use of MapReduce techniques such as those provided by Hadoop. This is contributing toward the evolution of BPM Suites into next-generation intelligent BPM Suites (iBPMS)."
"Pega shows how predictive next best actions can also be put to significant use across all processes and interactions, not just consumer preference recommendations," said Alan Trefler, Founder and CEO of Pegasystems. "Pega's Next Best Action Advisor™ continually incorporates multiple information sources. Its predictive and adaptive models actually learn faster the more data we can feed them, yielding better predictive recommendations even at the point of customer interaction."

The Ashland Independent Film Festival, an 11-year-old intimate spring fest nestled in Oregon's Rogue Valley, reminds me of the early days of Sundance and Telluride. Last year as a member of the doc jury I enjoyed spending time with documentarians Morgan Spurlock, Tiffany Shlain, Ondi Timoner and Harry Shearer. Ashland also hosts the venerable Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which pulls first-class theater talent for its multiple mountings of Shakespeare and other plays such as Mary Zimmerman's visually stunning comedic take on a classic Chinese fairy tale, "White Snake," complete with sexy demons, villainous monks and heart-felt romance.
This year, I spent gratifying time with AIFF Artistic Achievement Award-winner Julie Taymor, who I've interviewed in the past ("Across the Universe" here, "The Tempest" here). She did an in-depth Q & A with Oregon Shakespeare Fest director Bill Rauch, accompanied by clips of four of her works: top-earning global musical and Tony-winner "The Lion King," plus three films screened during the fest: "Across the Universe," "Titus," and "The Tempest."
"No matter what I do as an artist," Taymor told Rauch, "I have to be passionately involved and love it, from $11 to 70-million films to $400,000 to 70-million theater pieces." While theater offers more freedom and stylization, Taymor likes the broader audience and permanent record that films provide (although she's now tracking down prints of her films for safe-keeping).
Even with her most commercial projects, she doesn't patronize the audience, she said: "You don't have to dumb it down." She was as comfortable with the three-hour German "Magic Flute" as the two-hour English language one (the first Met Opera to stream live). She doesn't believe in talking down to kids, who are closer to the world of make believe.
"It's a constant fight to do something fresh and new that the audience doesn't know ahead of time," she said. On "The Lion King," Disney's Michael Eisner backed her on the crazy puppets, saying,"with the bigger risk, you get a bigger payoff."
Taymor is still casting new productions of "The Lion King" –"it's not just spectacle, it's spirit"–as she develops a film of "The Transposed Heads" with her partner, composer Elliot Goldenthal (who won an Oscar for the score of "Frida"), as well as raising financing for another film musical. Her years on the challenging but successful "Spider-Man" on Broadway are behind her but financial stakes loom large as she fights the show's producers on a copyright case. And she teased the Ashland crowd: "There might be an 'Across the Universe 2,' you never know."
During the award ceremony several participants paid tribute to Taymor for inspiring their work; when she accepted the AIFF Artistic achievement award, Taymor reminded that the great thing about a film festival, at a time when many folks are at home watching film on TV, "is it's live."
True; these days filmmakers who don't get traction at one festival try to build support at another. I was disappointed by one meandering SXSW doc entry, "Tchoupitoulas," from the Ross brothers, whose doc "45365" I had enthusiastically voted the grand jury prize as a jurist at SXSW. This time the duo spent months in New Orleans immersing themselves in the music scene, shooting miles of footage, waiting to find someone to follow for a narrative spine; they did track a lively trio of black kids over a few days and nights, including one constant blabbermouth. These filmmakers can shoot, and almost pulled off their atmospheric "you were there" concept–at least this year's Ashland doc jury thought so.
Two other Sundance entries made an impact at Ashland. Veteran documentarian Rory Kennedy, the 11th child of Robert and Ethel Kennedy, was born months after her father was killed. One of the brothers she interviewed grew up thinking there were ten kids and didn't remember that she was the 11th. Looking at the Kennedys from the point of view of Ethel and her brood is a telling and unique vantage point for the dramatic, heartrending saga that everyone of a certain age knows too well. There wasn't a dry eye in the packed house. Ethel comes through: competitive, athletic, bright, strong and loveable. (The servants and support team needed to keep that household and those children, horses, dogs and seals running were kept hidden.) It was no surprise that "Ethel"–which will air on HBO– won the Ashland audience award.
The short doc jury voted our special jury prize to Matt Bockelman's passionate public defender portrait "You Have the Right to An Attorney," while the best short doc was a moving film about Esperanto called "The Universal Language." The audience award went to well-made but too-long oil controversy doc "Pipe Dreams."
The winner of the narrative audience award was another SXSW premiere, "Gayby," about two best chums, a gay man and straight woman, who have a child together; it was expanded from short to uproarious comedy, and also took home the jury award for best ensemble.
The best narrative jury award went to Sundance World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award-winner "Valley of the Saints," a terrific hybrid docudrama shot by NYU writer-director Musa Syeed in Srinigar, Kashmir, the land of his parents, known as the fourth dirtiest city in India. He shot with a Canon 5D around a polluted lake in the summer and fall of 2010 at a time of unrest when curfews curtailed his access to the city. "We tried not to put ourselves in the midst of real violence," he said at the Q & A. "We embraced our limitations."
Syeed found his lead actor in a boat man with the soul of a poet who rows the lake in his water taxi. The filmmaker co-starred him with a journalist playing his best friend and a soap opera actress as a scientist studying the fragile ecosystem. Will the people who exploit the clogged and shrinking lake wind up killing their own livelihood? The film is a lyrical, beautiful, and satisfying journey of self-discovery. And yet it still lacks a distributor, which is not unusual.
Another Ashland filmmaker who spent more time making a good movie than figuring out how to get it in front of eyeballs was New Yorker Joel Fendelman. "David," a story about an unlikely friendship between a Muslim and a Jew, has been making the festival circuit, from Brooklyn and Napa to Montreal and Rome. Jewish groups and educators love the movie, but short of raising serious levels of P & A cash, theatrical distribution looks far away.
Timing is everything in movies now, reminded producer-actor Donal Logue, the host at the Ashland closing night ceremony Sunday. Since Wim Wenders first discussed his two-decades-in-the-works adaptation of Walker Percy's "The Second Coming" with Daniel Day Lewis, they've been waiting another five years for the single-minded actor, who will only think about one project at a time, to emerge long enough to read their script. "Independent films are a labor of love," Logue said, stating the obvious.

Due to continued flooding, the National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for Asheville and nearby areas through tomorrow morning. Several days of heavy rain have led to swollen rivers and floods washing out several roads.
Tag: weather

If April showers bring May flowers, we should be set
After a wet April, it looks like the large-scale weather pattern will not shift much as we head into this first week of May. And, while Asheville received above normal rainfall for the month of April, some locations west of the French Broad River Valley were soaked with over 14 inches of rain.
Anticipation: waiting on the trees and the storms
It's amazing how different each year can be as the ever-changing seasons unfold before our eyes. You may remember that the spring of 2012 was warm — very warm, with average temperatures last March that were over 9 degrees above normal in Western North Carolina. This year has been significantly different.
Storify: Western North Carolina gets a snow day
After a series of snow predictions that (literally) fell short of expectations this year, Western North Carolinians woke up to snow on March 6, 2013. These are the tweets, photos, video and more taken by folks at home, at work and out in the snow. This post will be updated throughout the day. (photo by Instagram user @Skippyhaha)
Winter Storm Watch in effect for Tuesday evening
The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Watch for much of Western North Carolina, including Buncombe County, predicting snow Tuesday evening into Wednesday.
Stunning sunset: Another day in Western North Carolina's winter weather
Timing is everything, especially when weather conditions change as quickly as they do in the mountains. Tuesday morning, Feb. 19, brought huge fluffy snowflakes to the higher elevations, quickly adding up to a couple of inches of snow. The whiplash of a day ended with a stunning sunset that was enhanced by concentric halos around the setting sun.
Everyone's favorite 'wintry mix' returns tonight
More winter weather is headed our way, according to the National Weather service. A "wintry mix" of freezing rain, sleet, and light snow could make things tricky later tonight and during the Tuesday morning rush hour.
Where did the snow fall?
Western North Carolina can seem like a land divided at times. The complex terrain of this region has a significant impact on the climate and the type of weather that we experience at any given location. The higher elevations experienced significant snow though out the multi-day event, while many folks in the valley were left with just a few flurries.
National Weather Services warns of severe thunderstorms for Buncombe
The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement warning that severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and early evening across most of WNC, including Buncombe County. UPDATE: The NWS has issued a Tornado Watch for Buncombe County until 8 p.m.
Ice, then fire. Be prepared for the clash of the Titans (and a High Wind Warning)
Last week's ice-and-sleet storm left a mess in several counties across Western North Carolina. The complex temperature structure in the atmosphere resulted in a thick coating of ice in some areas, but produced just rain in others. Now, after several days of spring-like temperatures, spring-like thunderstorms will impact the region on Wednesday, Jan. 30. A High Wind Warning has been issued by the NWS.

Ice Storm Warning for WNC, schools and bus service closed
The whole region is under an ice storm warning today, as the National Weather Service cautions residents about a "wintry mix" of ice and snow through this afternoon.
The challenges of winter weather
Winter can bring all kinds of challenges to the mountains — from cold and windy conditions like we've seen today to the threat for wintry weather. And, while snow can bring an almost festive vibe to our area, the threat of freezing rain or sleet is a whole other story.
Potentially hazardous winter weather on the way for some parts of WNC
The National Weather Service is cautioning Buncombe and Madison residents about potentially hazardous "wintry mix of precipitation across the area" Friday.
Winter Storm Warning for Asheville area until midnight
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Asheville area until midnight tonight, predicting two to five inches in the lower valleys and six to 10 at higher elevations.
Winter Storm Watch for Asheville area, 3-6 inches of snow expected tomorrow
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Buncombe, Haywood, and Madison counties starting tomorrow morning. The notice cautions residents about the possibility of a "significant winter storm" tomorrow.
Watch out for wind, winter weather throughout WNC
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the northern part of WNC, including Madison County. The NWS has also issued a wind advisory for the Asheville area, cautioning residents to watch out for downed trees and difficult driving conditions.
National Weather Service: 'High Wind Warning' for Buncombe County
The National Weather Service has issued a "High Wind Warning" for much of Western North Carolina, including Buncombe County.

Disaster 2012 Web Extra: Remembering the 2004 floods
With speculation rampant across the world over the possibility of a mysterious cataclysmic event occurring tomorrow, Dec. 21 in conjunction with the supposed end of the Mayan calendar, Xpress took a look at more realistic local threats this week in the story "Tomorrow Never Knows: WNC Disasters Past, Present and Future." As part of our research for that story, we compiled several photos from one of the biggest natural disasters to strike our region in modern history – the floods of 2004.

IBM Launches Data Exchange for Marketers
IBM launched its new Universal Behavior Exchange (UBX), which enables marketers to connect data across systems and better engage customers.IBM announced a new data exchange to help marketers engage customers in a more personalized manner. The new IBM Universal Behavior Exchange (UBX) enables marketers to deliver personalized experiences based on customers' behaviors and preferences. The exchange is a key component of the IBM Marketing Cloud and it helps marketers easily connect data across their solutions so they can better understand and engage with their customers in the moment. "On a daily basis, our marketing systems process countless customer data points, including visitor preferences on exhibits and special events," said Rosie Judd, director of digital media for Georgia Aquarium, which uses the IBM Marketing Cloud. "With this launch, we see how IBM is addressing the industry pain point of collecting and analyzing this customer data, and ultimately helping small marketing teams such as Georgia Aquarium's, be more efficient and stay focused on customer-entric campaigns that deliver memorable experiences." As customer expectations have increased so has the complexity of the marketing environment—more channels, more devices, more solutions and more data. In some companies, marketers are working with more than 30 different systems. The ability to easily connect the data stored in these solutions is key to delivering successful customer experiences across the buyer journey. Insights generated from the exchange will help marketers drive more effective campaigns on Facebook and across the Web.
UBX is supported by an open ecosystem of certified partners that include social, mobile, CRM and paid advertising solutions. At launch, this ecosystem includes companies, such as MediaMath, Spredfast, MutualMind, SugarCRM and Exchange Solutions.

Published on www.marketwatch.com.
NEW PROVIDENCE, N.J., June 5, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Bowker, the global leader in bibliographic information, released its annual report on U. S. print book publishing for 2011, compiled from its Books In Print® database. Based on preliminary figures from U.S. publishers, Bowker is projecting that traditional print book output grew six percent in 2011, from 328,259 titles in 2010 to a projected 347,178 in 2011, driven almost exclusively by a strong self-publishing market. This is the most significant expansion in more than four years for America's traditional publishing sector, but removing self-publishing from the equation would show that the market is relatively flat from 2010.
"Transformation of our industry has brought on a time of rich innovation in the publishing models we now have today. What was once relegated to the outskirts of our industry–and even took on demeaning names like 'vanity press' is now not only a viable alternative but what is driving the title growth of our industry today," said Kelly Gallagher, Vice-President, Bowker Market Research. "From that standpoint, self-publishing is a true legitimate power to be reckoned with. Coupled with the explosive growth of e-books and digital content – these two forces are moving the industry in dramatic ways."
Genres that contributed to the robust growth in the Traditional sector include Education, with a hefty 20 percent increase, Music and Philosophy & Psychology (both up 14 percent), Religion (up 12 percent), and Juveniles, Biography, and Business, which all increased by 11 percent. Publishing mainstay Fiction – the largest genre – turned around a multi-year decline with a notable 13 percent increase.
Conversely, "Unclassified" books, which comprise mostly Reprint/POD houses specializing in public domain works marketed almost exclusively on the web, ended a years-long streak of triple digit growth, declining 69 percent in 2011 from 2010. The Reprint/POD sector accounts for the largest ISBN output – more than 1.1 million in 2011 alone — and as a result, drove an overall decline in print book output of 63 percent. Audiobooks and e-books are excluded.
"It's important to look at these numbers in the context of the last several years," said Mr. Gallagher. "The last few years of Reprint/POD output has shown explosive growth that was simply not sustainable. Despite this year's decline, the output from this sector is still up about 15 percent over 2009. It continues to be a vibrant sector of the market."

A Warm welcome to my website.
I hope that you find all you need to know either contained here or through suggested links.
Yoga is an ancient discipline, that has been passed down, through thousands of years, in a tradition of teacher to student.
There is an exchange of energy, warmth and humour in that learning process that cannot easily be drawn from a book. Classes help to supplement and aid our own self practice.
My classes have an open and explorative approach, promoting learning and an understanding of yoga, our bodies and our minds.
I currently teach yoga classes in Wantage, Childrey and East Hendred in Oxfordshire.

Apple Asks Federal Court to Dismiss Employee Poaching Lawsuit
Electric car battery vendor A123 sued Apple earlier in February alleging that Apple has been illegally "poaching" its employees. Apple wants the suit to go away.Apple is asking a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit from electric car battery vendor A123 Systems that alleges that Apple has been methodically and illegally hiring away engineers from A123 in ways that have been damaging to the battery company. Apple filed the motion to dismiss the lawsuit on March 10 in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, arguing that the battery company has not provided enough evidence to make its case, according to a Reuters report. Earlier in February, A123 sued Apple and five former A123 employees, arguing that the computer and smartphone maker had been engaged in efforts to hire away its workers as part of a raid on its workforce. Apple has been working to blunt those claims in court. "Apple hiring five A123 employees, without more, does not indicate improper means or motive to support a claim for tortious interference or 'raiding,'" Apple said in a response to the lawsuit, according to the report. More time was requested by Apple last week to respond to the A123 lawsuit while the two companies were allegedly discussing a possible settlement to the case, the report continued. The status of those discussions is not yet known.
The lawsuit by A123 against Apple was revealed earlier this month when reports began circulating that Apple was interested in spending some of its $178 billion in cash reserves on a project to design and produce its own electric cars, possibly by as soon as 2020, according to an earlier eWEEK report.

Children with Diabetes
Theyre all so different, but they have one thing in common: they are children with diabetes.
By Tom Karlya
September 2009 — Jeremy plays varsity baseball, he wears an insulin pump. Sam is in his second year of college, he teaches younger ones, and he wears an insulin pump. Kathy is in love with Nick Jonas, and she is on insulin shot therapy. Jesse is a high school senior he wears a pump - and sometimes he wears a continuous glucose monitor. They came from just about every state across this united land. They came from quite a few countries, as well. They laughed, they cried, they met, they became reacquainted, they worked, they played and they learned … oh how they learned.
It's July and we are in Orlando for the Children with Diabetes (CWD) Friends for Life (FFL) conference, marking the tenth year. I was there at the first one, I was at this one, and so many conferences in between. I walked into the conference hall for the first meeting where all participants would be together at once. It was a sea of people, having swelled in the last ten years from about 500 people to 3,500 people. Imagine viewing over 800 kids checking their blood sugar all at once before breakfast. Imagine!
Tears just flowed down my cheeks.
There is uniqueness about Children With Diabetes. These conferences provide knowledge. They provide an outlet where families can learn firsthand that they are not alone. The children meet others like them, and so do their parents. Perhaps they will do as the title suggests and become friends for life.
A few friends meet. Hannah hugs Monica and Sarah, who are sisters. One of the three has diabetes. It doesn't really matter who does and who does not. They are together at this one place and time. They met years ago. During the year they stay in touch via Facebook and text messages. When apart, they live for the time they will see each other again.
Children with Diabetes, the company, is owned by Johnson & Johnson, a really big company. CWD was founded by Jeff Hitchcock, not a big company but in reputation, a really big man. Why is that important?
It is important because CWD doesn't feel like it's owned by a big company. The people involved make others feel like - dare I say – family? No one could ever understand what a family goes through who has a child with diabetes. I mean it is 'just diabetes,' right?
To those who know, no explanation is needed and to those who don't, all the explanation in the world isn't enough to truly explain. Truth is, it isn't 'just diabetes.' It's a world that scares the hell out of all of us as parents. It's a world where no parent should watch their child, or their children, suffer daily.
We don't need to be told again and again that it could be worse; it could be this disease or that disease. We don't need to be asked again for the millionth time, "Will they grow out of it?" We don't need to hear from someone that it's really not that bad to take a few shots. We don't need to be called up to the school. We don't need to worry if the falling down in soccer, or football, or lacrosse, or playing in the yard is part of their activity or are the collapsing from a hypoglycemic reaction - and we hold our breath until they get up again. We don't need that.
It's these times. It's the sleepless nights. It's playing the diabetes police to our kids. It's the feeling guilty on playing the diabetes police to our kids. It's the constant and burning wish that our lives to be normal again.
But we don't live like there's a problem, do we? The feelings of fear, anxiety, guilt - and did I mention fear? - are kept inside though, aren't they? They are kept inside because we want normal again, or as close to normal as can be, for our kids and for us too. So we smile, we try not to overact when things go haywire, we smile when a relative we love says something stupid like "So you just cut back on their sugar, right?' We cry alone, we cry in silence, but most of all we move on. Most people just do not know what we go through because we do not live our lives in defeat. We try to stay upbeat. But still, deep down inside we all have the fears and showing them outward is something we work real hard just not to do. But they are there, we all know they are.
So during a week in the hot summer month of July, we are all together in Orlando, Florida. In a place where no explanation is needed and we get one week where just about everyone around us "gets it." Together we grow from the knowledge and inspiration of professionals, experts, and those who have made a difference. Kids learn and so do the parents.
Two new friends walk down the hallway of the huge Disney complex holding hands. One is from Florida and the other is from New York. One wears a pump from Medtronic, one wears a pump from Animas. They both are in shorts and they both are acting a bit silly. Kids with diabetes are still just kids.
On the final day of the conference there is much sadness saying goodbye but much enthusiasm that the batteries are recharged ready to face the world with what was learned. A new understanding that we are really not all alone out here and there are others who fully understand. We all met someone during this week. We bonded. We are Friends for Life.
I'm a Diabetes Dad.

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
10:1–13:10 In these four chapters, Paul deals with the problem of false apostles (11:13) who had come to Corinth and who were opposing Paul's authority. Titus had brought good news about the previous problems at Corinth, but a new problem demanded Paul's attention. Paul was confident of the Corinthian church (7:16), but not all the Corinthians were equally confident of Paul. Between 9:12–15 and 10:1, the tone changes abruptly from something positive to exasperation as Paul defends the genuineness of his calling as an apostle. For a discussion of this shift in tone see Introduction: Interpretive Difficulties.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have never been in any kind of trouble before... so i have no clue what the legal process is or what happens now. There was an incident at my place of employment and they pressed charges. The officer said i was being charged with petty larceny and i really dont know what they means in legal terms. Today the officer said that the warrent was ready and I didn't even know there would be a warrent. I assumed there was just a ticket. What is really going to happen?
Petit larceny is a misdemeanor in new york. It is a crime. You should get a competent lawyer to represent you.
The police wil issue an appearance ticket. go down to the station and let them fingerprint you, etc. Do not say anything about the alleged crime. Get a lawyer.
if this is your first offense the District Attorney will have some form of internal plea guidelines. DO NOT plead guilty. Did I say get a lawyer yet?
Let the process work itself out and you may be able to negotiate a favorable agreement that will reduce the charges to lower than misdemeanor status or perhaps get a onditional dismissal of the charges.
Get a lawyer. Admit nothing...good luck.
The very first thing you should do is stop talking to the police (and anyone else) and hire an attorney right away.
Soon, there will be an arraignment (first court appearance) set in the matter. You will go to court, hopefully with a lawyer at your side. If you cannot afford to hire your own lawyer you will likely qualify for the services of the public defender's office. You will enter a plea of not guilty and will be ordered to return for a pretrial date.
In the interim, your lawyer will discuss the case with you and your side of the story (though probably not on the first court appearance if you have a public defender). The lawyer will review the discovery and (hopefully) conduct an appropriate investigation. The lawyer will negotiate with the DA to see if the case can be resolved short of trial (most are). If the lawyer is able to show that the case has no merit, it can be dismissed before trial. If at any point, you agreed to take a deal, you will change your plea from not guilty to guilty or no contest and the judge will sentence you according to your agreed plea-bargain. If the court does not agree with the deal or you refuse to take a deal, your case will ultimately be set for trial.
Good luck,

Second-Year Student
Hometown: Amman, Jordan
High School: Amman National School
Area of Interest: International Business/Accounting and Finance

Third-Year Student
Hometown: Vero Beach, FL

Area of Interest: Anthropology
Hi! I'm Venezuelan American, but have lived all over the United States and Latin America. I love learning new languages, traveling, and playing the violin, and my best trait is that I can salsa dance to any genre of music. Studying Anthropology is a dream and I have a focus in development and resource distribution.
Why did you choose New College? I wanted a place I didn't have to sit with three hundred other students in a lecture hall, and could have a good relationship with my professors.
Favorite things about New College and/or Sarasota? How involved our professors and programs on campus are with the community. You constantly are exposed to amazing collaborations and opportunities that are not available elsewhere.

Second-Year Student
Hometown: Bogotá, Colombia
High School: Colegio Gran Bretaña
Area of Interest: International Studies
I was born in New York City to Colombian immigrant parents and have lived in Bogotá for the past six years. My father's job allowed my family to live abroad for most of my life, which is why I have a tremendous passion for traveling and learning about new cultures. I am also the resident advisor for the International Village LLC dorm! I am fluent in English, Spanish and am hoping to graduate New College fluent in French. I love to dance and currently hold the admin position for the Dance Collective club on campus. I hope you love New College as much as I do and cannot wait to see you involved in the community!
Why did you choose New College? I am an International Baccalaureate graduate and wanted to continue with a rigorous and affordable academic program.
Favorite things about New College and/or Sarasota? New College's small community offers amazing opportunities to get involved in whatever you love. When I have free time you will find me exploring downtown Sarasota, St. Armand's, and the several beaches throughout the city.
Plans after graduation: I hope to one day work for an entity that advocates for LGBTQIA+ rights, such as the State Department or USAID!
Fourth-Year Student
Hometown: Palm Harbor, Florida
High School: Palm Harbor University High School
Previous College: University of Central Florida
Area of Interest: Spanish/Theater
I am a transfer student who joined New College my first year and I haven't looked back since. I love people, entertainment of all sorts and learning as much as I can in any given opportunity. My interests include video games and anime, cooking and baking, going out to explore (Sarasota has so many nooks and crannies!), participating in/going to theatrical events, and long walks by the bay.
Why I chose New College: I have made so many amazing friends here whom I love as people and respect as academic peers. I love the small class sizes. The fact that professors know not only my name, but also my goals, strengths and weaknesses allows for engagement that you don't get anywhere else.
Favorite things about New College: New College has such a vibrant campus life, there's always something going on, and the people here are so unique. I don't have to float around with a bunch of strangers; I see every student here as a friend-to-be.
Fourth-Year Student
Hometown: Delray Beach, FL
High School/Previous College: Atlantic High School/ Palm Beach State College
Academic Area(s) of Interest: Biology
Hey y'all! I am a third-year transfer student with a passion for fashion and biology. At a young age, I fell in love with the basic elements that composed life and here I am at New College pursing it! Additionally, I have an emphatic interest in women's health and public health. Hence, I aspire to become an obstetrician/gynecologist or a nurse-midwife sometime in the future. Currently, I am interning at the Department of Health Sarasota County to experience public health from a clinical and administrative perspective.
On another note, my hobbies include eating, sleeping, shopping. 🙂
Why I chose New College: I chose New College because of the small ratio between students and faculty. New also provided a unique learning atmosphere that enabled me to maximize my potential.
Favorite things about New College: At New College you feel the sense of a community that is led mainly by students. I think that this stems from having a small student body, and I truly appreciate this unique quality that our school upholds.
Plans after graduation: After New I plan on traveling for a year, then pursue my master's degree in public health.
Second-Year Student
Hometown: Tampa, FL
High School: Blake High School
Area of Interest: Biochemistry
Hi, my name is Kara, I'm a second-year Natural Sciences AOC and Pre-Med student here at New College. I grew up in Tampa, Florida, with my mom, two older sisters, and lots of pets! I've been involved with dance and musical theater since I was six years old, and I attended a magnet high school for musical theater performance. In my free time I love to spend time on the beach and outdoors, do yoga, dance and choreograph with the dance collective club, as well as exploring new places in the Sarasota area.
Why did you choose New College? The small classes and close campus community are what drew me to New College as well as the beautiful location in sunny Sarasota.
Favorite things about New College and/or Sarasota? The close professor/student relationships, the community of students who all want each other to succeed, and all the resources available to students here at New College. Downtown Sarasota is one of my favorite places, with so much to offer!
Plans after graduation: Attend medical school and travel.
Second-Year Student
Hometown: Norwalk, OH
High School: Norwalk High School
Academic Area(s) of Interest: Marine Biology
I am Mackenna Louise Jensen. I am a second-year at New College and use she/her pronouns. I currently am interested in a Marine Biology AOC with specialization in working with sea turtles and manatees, but am also looking into a more ecology and environmental studies course to get a greater view of how the environment and the animals interact to assist both. I am an out of state student from Norwalk, OH, but have recently moved to Port Richey, FL and began becoming a Florida resident. I had been planning on living in Florida for most of my life, so I was thrilled to finally get to make the change. I adore most outdoor activities including doing yoga outside. I have danced ballet since the age of 6 and hope to get involved with the dance collective this coming semester.As I live on this planet, taking care of the Earth is very important as well as taking care of myself, so I am very big on recycling and reducing waste (I am apart of ROW) as well as making and using natural products for me to care for myself while not added toxins to the environment around me.
Why I chose New College: I choose New College after reading through what the structure of the school was. I really loved the idea of having evaluations instead of letter grades since I went to a Montessori school till fourth grade and ran on a similar system. I also had just written a paper the previous year before I found New College on the break down of how letter grade do not truly allow for growth, so to find a college that agreed with that made my heart sing. I was also looking for a Marine Biology program that sparked my interest. I literally cried when I read about the Marine Biology program for New College and continued to love many of the other natural science courses, so I could see myself growing at New College and New College still offering me exactly what I needed/wanted.
Favorite things about New College: I love the community of New College. The campus feels like home to me. The professors actually work with you and know who you are. There are always people that care and are interested in who you are and what you do. People push and encourage you at New College, so that you can reach out of your own personal bubble and get what you wanted to do but were too afraid to. I love the environment. Even classes that do not need to deal with things that are outside occasionally go outside for class or for an activity. The school knows its campus is beautiful and actually used it, which is wonderful. As someone that loves nature and animals, getting to use the campus' environment as a resource for hands on classes and research is so useful. The strong sense of community among students as well as the resources.
Plans after graduation: My dream (who knows if it will happen, but that's why it's a dream) is to be able to work on a team that aids in clean up and protection for animals and their environment. I would love to just drop everything and go where needed whether that be to clean up an oil spill or rescue a sea turtle and work with it in a sea turtle hospital. I would love to this all while blogging regularly, but that's the dream for now.
Second-Year Student
Hometown: Davie, FL
High School: St. Thomas Aquinas
Academic Area(s) of Interest: Political Science, Philosophy
I was born and raised in South Florida with a passion for food, traveling and sleep. I spent my summer after high school interning for a congressman on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. I hope to attend law school in the future and become a crisis manager. I also love animals, and long walks on the beach.
Why I chose New College: The academic program. It is small, and I feel as though I had more room for opportunity. It's nice to know my professors recognize my face and name, rather than just another number in a lecture hall.
Favorite things about New College: The strong sense of community among students as well as the resources.
Plans after graduation: I hope to attend law school in the future and become a crisis manager.
Second-Year Student
Hometown: Tampa, FL
High School: Gaither High School
Area of Interest: Applied Mathematics/ Economics
I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. Throughout my childhood I spent many summers in Panama and Costa Rica living with my family and immersing myself in the Spanish language and culture. I have a passion for education and love working with others. I spent this past summer in Lake Wales, Florida as a summer camp counselor and climbing instructor. Living in a cabin just as large as one Pei room with 10 campers and one co-counselor. Now a days I spend a lot of time running across campus enjoying the outdoors with my friends and fellow running club members.
Why I chose New College: When I chose New College, I had no idea what I would choose to study. I felt that New College would offer me the academic freedom to explore all of my interests! Plus, who wouldn't want to go to a school directly on the water!
Favorite things about New College: I either hope to go to graduate school in some field of education or to become a high school teacher and coach.
Third-Year Student
Hometown: Oviedo, Florida
High School: Seminole High School
Area of Interest: Psychology/Russian Language and Literature
Originally from Venezuela, I moved to the United States when I was 8 years old. Before I got to NCF, I was very involved in dance team as well as the International Baccalaureate program. Through my time in high school I realized that dance was a wonderful way for me to bond with my peers and express myself. I noticed changes that participation in dance had resulted in for my body and mind and realized that I wanted to investigate these further. I'm really interested in seeing how psychology and dance interact and how participating in dance throughout one's life can affect a person in all sorts of dynamic ways. I love choreographing and performing and am the administrator for New College's resident dance showcase; Dance Collective. I really enjoy all kinds of food and traveling and I adore listening to music.
Why I chose New College: I chose New College after realizing that everything I was looking for in an university and in an academic college experience wasn't being offered by my top choices. Furthermore, the financial aid that New College offered me was a great incentive; especially comparing how much an education would have cost at the other schools I applied to. Being close to home and yet far away to really feel independent was also important in my decision. The sunsets and the beautiful campus were the cherries on top of an awesome sundae.
Favorite things about New College: The unique community by far is my favorite things. There are a lot of quirky spaces on campus and the people that study here are so interesting to talk to!
Fourth-Year Student
Hometown: Winter Springs, FL
High School: Seminole High School
Areas of Interest: Theater/Religion
I was born in Philadelphia, but grew up in Central Florida for the great majority of my childhood. Due to my nearness to the world of theme parks, I grew up loving the idea of entertainment for entertainment's sake, and through that love I found my passion in the dramatic arts. Since high school I have been lucky enough to travel to New York, Vermont, Boston, Miami, and London all in the pursuit of a career in theater. Here at New College I focus primarily on experimental and socially conscious theatre, with specialization in ritual theory shared between dramatic art and faith. I am heavily involved in our theater company on campus, and in the technical aspects of live performance art on campus. Also, my heart belongs to Star Wars; long live Star Wars.
Why I chose New College: I decided on New College in the eighth grade when my older sister toured the school. I fell in love with the brilliant and beautiful atmosphere that has been cultivated here. When it came time for me to start looking at colleges in my junior year of high school, the only question that remained for me was: Can I pursue my theater and my academic goals at New College? And as it turned out, I am more than able to! Very few (if any) BFA programs allow for the kind of academic freedom that the liberal arts curriculum at New College allows; here I can learn for the sheer sake of pursuit of knowledge whilst studying rigorous theater theory!
Favorite things about New College: What I love at New is the freedom given to students in both the academic and social capacities. We live and we learn here as independent adults, with primarily our integrity and notion of responsibility as our greatest guides. Here we learn to exist as productive, thoughtful people who can go out into the world and shake it up for the better. Every person here is totally committed to their own learning and the expansion of their own mind — and every person wants to share their knowledge with everyone else. We love thought-provoking dialogue here, and that is just the greatest darn thing.
Third-Year Student
Hometown: Port Jefferson, New York
High School: Earl L. Vandermeulen High School
Area of Interest: Bio-Chemistry (Pre-Med)
Since I was little, I have always loved dancing. I love all styles of dance and went to many ballet intensives at The Joffrey Ballet School, at New College I get to explore other styles of dance and perform at the end of each semester with my peers. I love cooking (and eating), and like trying new cuisines. I study biochemistry, and can always be found with a cup of coffee in hand. I am passionate about Harry Potter (Hermione Granger is my role model) and I always have at least two knitting projects that I'm working on.
Why I chose New College: New College was my top choice. I wanted a school where I could take the classes I want with people who think in a similar way to me. New College allows me to constantly challenge myself and be challenged by those around me. I'm always learning new things whether I'm in class or not. By the end of my first year, I could tell that even the way I thought had changed so much and that coming here was the best decision I've made.
Favorite things about New College: I love being around the students who are all so unique and getting to be part of such a close knit community.
Plans after graduation: I plan on becoming an EMT while I apply to medical school and then going to med school somewhere up north.
Second-Year Student
Hometown: Tarpon Springs, Florida
High School: Palm Harbor University High School
Area of Study: Chemistry/ Political Science
I was born in Chicago, but grew up with my crazy Greek family in Tarpon Springs. I have always been active and continue to be so at New. I love sailing, hanging out by the bay and doing yoga with friends. When I am not taking care of residents as a Resident Advisor I love to cook big meals for me and my roommates to share.
Why did you choose New College? I was an I.B. student in high school and wanted the same academic rigor in college without going broke. New College satisfied both of those needs. After visiting the campus a few times, I realized I really enjoyed the culture and the people. After my first year, I couldn't be more satisfied with my choice. My professors know me and are always there to guide me through difficult times. Not to mention the amazing friends I have made along the way.
Favorite things about New College? I love the small size of the school. It makes everything personal and more manageable. The community at NCF is so welcoming and accepting. I also love to explore Cook Hall and Old Caples. They are my favorite buildings!
Plans after graduation: I want to go to graduate school most likely for chemistry.
Fourth-Year Student
Hometown: Fort Myers, FL
High School: Riverdale High School
Area of Interest: International and Area Studies
I was born in Naples, then my family moved to Tallahassee, then back down to Fort Myers. In high school I went through the International Baccalaureate Program and played Quidditch and some football. Now I am at New College of Florida and study Spanish, Chinese, and international politics. I participate in the NCSA (New College Student Alliance) as a Justice in the Student court. I am involved with Chinese club, and play football on the best college football team in Florida. New College has given me the opportunity to intern at the Institute for Multitrack Diplomacy in Washington D.C.
Why I chose New College: When I was looking for a college to attend, I wanted an honors college, preferably small, inexpensive, and fairly close to home. New college offered everything on my list and more.
Favorite things about New College: The small atmosphere of the college allows me to not only know all of my peers, but all of my professors as well. The welcoming atmosphere also makes it extremely easy to be outgoing and get involved with extracurricular activities on campus.

If I understand your document properly, this is similar to how we handle things in GNU Classpath (see gnu.java.net.PlainSocketImpl). One difference is that we throw exceptions in the JNI code. As you mention in your document, this has the disadvantage of resulting in a JNI class lookup -- but in your example, don't you have to do a second JNI call to get the error string? (BSDSocketErrors.getMessage(res)). (For GCJ, we implement this code in CNI - not JNI. It's simpler and there's zero overhead between the Java and C++ code - so we can throw exceptions in C++ code with no JNI name lookups.) AG
