Revision as of 02:57, 27 April 2011
I don't see the section on game theory as directly related to the Euthyphro dilemma. It is a useful jumping off point to talk about secular morality, so perhaps a new article on that subject should be started and the game theory section moved there.
Question: should there be two separate articles on "morality" and "secular morality"? Another question: are "morality" and "ethics" the same subject, or do they require different articles?
--Kazim 17:39, 13 August 2006 (MST)
- Yeah, that was my attempt at rationalizing what the "external force" is from which God learns what is and isn't good. I agree that it doesn't really fit in well here, so feel free to move it (or delete it, if you want to obliterate my deathless prose :-) ).
- Also, I have no idea what the difference is between "ethics" and "morality". I've added these to the "wanted pages" page, in hopes that someone will define them.
- --Arensb 20:41, 26 August 2006 (MST)
Rolled back
The content of this article were removed as they were incorporated into the moral argument page. I've rolled this back to the pre-deletion state. At worst, this should have been changed to a re-direct and the moral argument page should include a section on the Euthyphro dilemma. However, it's also not unreasonable to have some nearly-duplicate content if the subject is one which we reference by name or where there is a potential difference. The moral argument page could reference this page, include it, etc. I haven't made up my mind on what the preferred solution should be - but before we go deleting content, let's see if we can figure out the best way to get to virtually-identical ideas to mesh. I'll be looking over both pages and encourage others to do the same - but, for now, let's keep this content available. Sans Deity 14:32, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
A better summary.
1. If god is the author of morality, then god himself cannot be said to be moral. In this case, god is not truly interested in morality per se, but merely obedience.
2. If god is not the author of morality, then belief in god is not necessary to be moral. It is still rendered questionable as to whether god even cares about morality, since he is uninvolved in the concept. --Yeahsurewhatever 10:12, 15 March 2009 (CDT)
- Your point 1 seems to be a non sequitur. How does "God is not moral" follow from "God is the author of morality"? (Which I understand to mean "God made up the rules as to what is and isn't moral.) Couldn't God hypothetically decide that killing people is bad, then go kill a bunch of people in violation of his own rule? --Arensb 22:15, 15 March 2009 (CDT)
- God can be the author of morality and be said to be moral if-and-only-if moral order is grounded in the very nature of God and expressed prescriptively in his commands. Keep in mind, however, that this means "God is moral" is an ontological statement, not a moral valuation; i.e., God is the final reference point in moral predication. -- Ryft 21:37, 23 August 2009 (CDT)
- You sound like you are following the argument of Thomas Aquinas, who answered that morality is the nature of God and as such his commands are not themselves moral or immoral but are rather an expression of his moral nature. But all this does is answer the question - he chose one of the two options Euthyphro and Socrates gave (that is, he's saying that things are okay to do if God says to do them). He did not actually answer the dilemma. --Jaban 10:34, 25 August 2009 (CDT)
Not unsolvable
I disagree that this is a paradox, and it isn't circular either, here is why:
The fist paragraph states that whatever God commands is good (or moral) by definition (according to Christians). The second sentence is: things are good because God commands it. This is not circular reasoning, this is simply restating the definition.
Further, if you accept this definition, then there is no sense talking about an "external source" for morality, because by definition there is no such thing. So the answer to the dilemma is: Something is good because God commands it. And of course if you do something else, that's called immoral.
Now, in theory this could mean that God could command killing and stealing (as he did according to the Bible). But at that point it would not matter, because per definition that would be moral. If you "believe", you might trust that that act has some ultimate purpose for the benefit of humans or humanity as a whole, but that does not change anything, and does not cause a paradox either. Remember, with the "rape" argument, you are trying to use your current sense of morality to judge something that would be happening in a completely different moral value system, this is not a good argument.
As for the quote from Bertrand Russell. I agree with the conclusion, that in this case, it would be pointless to apply "moral" or "immoral" to God, since it is in fact defined as his wishes or acts. So what? It still makes sense for us to "hope" or "trust" that God's "plan" aligns with our best interests (this last bit might be another definition of what's "good", for us at least).
The conclusion is, that if you believe that God exists, define moral as his wishes/acts/commands, than this dilemma is not unsolvable.

Morality versus Ethics
As I understand it (in this context), 'ethics' examines and/or compares theories of values and morals, while 'morality' examines the implications and applications of a specific theory of ethics. -- Ryft 21:30, 23 August 2009 (CDT)
What the hell does this mean?
"Theists will claim that because God's nature is supposedly eternal and unchanging, that God's nature was not "created" by himself or otherwise. To overcome the objection, it may be necessary to restate the dilemma as a true dichotomy: either (i) Morality is derived from God or (ii) Morality is not derived from God. The burden of proof remains with the apologist to demonstrate that (i) is a true claim, irrespective of whether such morality is dependent on God's fiat or God's nature. It falls to the apologist to justify the claim that God's nature is necessarily good, and therefore that the various immoralities of scripture may be considered moral."
This was added to the article. What does it mean? Is it even necessary?
'Is morality derived from God?'- is a question which is begging the question since it needs a god to exist for morality to be derived from him, even though God's nature is not created and morality is independent of a deity (this means premise 1 of the moral argument is refuted).
- It does seem redundant. I'm in favor of deleting this section. --Arensb 17:34, 27 February 2010 (CST)
- Agreed. Same with the "not unsolvable" section above. Both miss the point of what the dilemma is. --Jaban 01:35, 28 February 2010 (CST)
Avoiding the Euthyphro problem
Of course, this argument is sound and is useful in refuting the moral argument. However, the moral argument can be reformulated to suit the theist.
1. Universal moral laws require a universal 'spreader'.
2. Universal moral laws exist.
3. Universal 'spreader' (aka God) exists.
How can we avoid this argument?
Also, I would like to share wikipedia's info on the dilemma. Please, have a look.
- Seriously? I don't mean to sound insulting but if you need to ask that question, you probably shouldn't be editing a counter-apologetics wiki.
- - 1 is an unfounded assertion... not only have they not demonstrated this to be true but it's possible that such a moral law might arise as an emergent property.
- - 2 simply isn't true.. there is no evidence that universal moral laws exist and every reason to think they don't. - Sans Deity 02:46, 1 March 2010 (CST)
What the hell? This is actually a common argument and I wanted to share this one because Euthyphro does notb adress it. This is a counter-apologetics wiki and the main page states exactly my point: "We'll be collecting common arguments and providing responses, information and resources to help counter the glut of misinformation and poor arguments which masquerade as "evidence" for religious claims." Shouldn't we be adressing this argument?
- Sure we should, my point was that asking how to address it SHOULD have been unnecessary - you should know how to address it if you're contributing here. That was my point. Additionally, your claim that Euthyphro doesn't address it is as irrelevant as claiming that evolution doesn't address origins. As if Euthyphro was some catch-all for all version of moral arguments. Sans Deity 10:48, 1 March 2010 (CST)
I DO know how to address it but I wanted to take a vote if we should add it and how we should respond to it. I did the same when deleting the unnecessary section in the Euthyphro dilemma article. I don't like arbitrarily adding shit and fucking up the wiki. I can certainly do that but the purpose of my question was to get a swift refutation of the revised moral argument. Arguing this new argument takes more effort on the atheists' side and more time. Atheistic arguments should be succinct and swiftly delivered. The purpose of the euthyprho dilemma is ending the moral argument before it started ( no need for explaining the atheistic premises of how morality is naturalistic). On the other hand, your counter-arguments take a number of sub-premises and further explanation. The theist will take advantage of that. For example, premise 1 of this new moral argument would be supported by the impossibility of universal human legislation. Second premise can be easily argued. The theist will definitely argue the existence of objective moral truths and we are back to the stretched atheistic refutation which will take ages to discuss. Also, if you don't admit the existence of objective moral truths, the theist will appeal to emotion by implying that atheists are evil as they don't recognize what eevryone recognizes as good- a soft spot owned by the theist. Furthermore, I did not insinuate that the Euthyphro should address ALL moral argument but I was giving atheists a heads-up as to the modern moral argument where Euthyphro is useless and a new swift response should be made. Doesn't this require some collaboration and agreement on the counter-argument?
And if you really care about this site, I advise you to work on the kalam argument. Your article there is very poor. I should not be discussing this here but you need to know where your own wiki is the poorest in handling the best theistic arguments.
- The article could be improved, many of them could. That's the purpose of having a wiki where a community can work together on responses. However, your implication that Kalam is one of the best theistic arguments is particularly ironic when you're seemingly unable to recognize the scope of Euthyphro...and just a bit further down in your response you're going to demonstrate that you are certainly not ready for prime time. Sans Deity 10:48, 1 March 2010 (CST)
Kalam is one of the best theistic arguments. Ontological argument is dead (however, you might not have realized that there is a modal ontological argument advanced by Plantinga, which I introduced to this wiki). Design argument is dead (see my ultimate 747 gambit article, which I introduced and provided unprecedented counter-apologetic responses). Pascal's wager is dead. Kalam is the only one which has been constantly used in recent debates. Have you been to any recent debates?
"The Cosmological argument does not prove that the cause was a supernatural cause, or not a natural cause."
Craig adresses this point. You might want to mention that. This cause must be timeless, personal, yada yada yada. Even if it is wrong, it deserves a response (for the atheists' sake).
From wikipedia: With Kalām's conclusion logically following from its premises, Craig concludes by arguing that impersonal, scientific causation exterior to the universe could not cause a finite universe. He gives the example of the temperature being below zero infinitely, and thus any water, although caused to be frozen by the subzero temperature, could not begin to freeze; it would be frozen infinitely. Similarly, any condition that could cause the universe to exist would have to be infinitely, and thus the universe would also exist infinitely. The solution, Craig posits, is that the cause of the universe's beginning to exist must be a personal agent. Craig has extended this argument to conclude that the cause must also be uncaused, beginningless, changeless, immaterial, timeless, spaceless, enormously powerful, and enormously intelligent.
Circularity- can't logic be admitted in NBE?
Counter-example- Craig addresses this point. These quantum flucutuations require pre-existing physical entities, returning to the question "what created the vacuum?".
Where's the kalam argument for atheists?
- And that's the point at which you demonstrate that you're not yet ready to contribute here. Where's the Kalam argument for atheists? There isn't one, nor does there need to be one. That question betrays that you've been bamboozled by the burden of proof and that you find arguments from ignorance to still have teeth. As if the lack of an 'atheist Kalam' is remotely relevant to the soundness of Kalam... Sans Deity 10:48, 1 March 2010 (CST)
No, my friend. You are NOT ready to take on counter-apologetics if you have no idea of what the kalam cosmological argument for atheists is, which has been introduced by atheist philosopher quentin smith. Search for it, please do! This is not a shift in the burden of proof, it is acounter-argument to the kalam which demonstates the inadequacy of the God explanation. This is exactly why the article is poor. It's amazing how you have no knowledge about this COMMONLY-used theistic argument. It is the most basic argument and you don't even know half of it (as demonstrated in this poorly-constructed kalam article).
Where's quentin smith?
Philosopher Quentin Smith states that "the universe...both caused itself to exist and caused the later states of the universe to exist."
Where's Oppy?
Where's imaginary time?
Where's the hartle-hawking model?
- You were free to add any of those, instead of just whining about why they aren't there. It's clear that we got off on the wrong foot here, but my current role is little more than policeman and editor, I've got more projects than available time. If you think you've got a handle on Kalam, by all means attack it. I don't think you're up to the task but I'd love for you to prove me wrong. Sincerely. I'm not pissed, I'm not frustrated, I'm just being honest...from what I've seen, I am not convinced that you're really ready to be taking on these counter-apologetics. I'd like nothing more than to be wrong...because we'd all benefit. But, this conversation is currently a waste of my time and there's nothing I despise more than having my time wasted. Sans Deity 10:48, 1 March 2010 (CST)
I am going to; it's not whining. You also have poor articles on 'quran and science' which could be a powerful atheistic tool against islam'. There's no mentioning of the 'inimatibility of quran' argument. There are many arguments you have missed. As you see, I have my hands full and it seems that you are not ready taking on counter-apologetics from the apparent poverty of this wiki.
Go read your User talk:Wissam hemadeh page
There's no need to keep adding this discussion to this page.
"God provides a standard to emulate" is an infomercial for Rabbi Averick
This section presents an alternative argument against Euthyphro which essentially redefines morality as closeness to God. Fair enough, but it presents a large book quote which evades the implications entirely and goes off on a tangent about how it is ridiculous to compare God with the Incredible Hulk. Goodness is supposed to be an essential part of God's nature, not the nature of the Hulk, Jerry Seinfeld, or whoever, so the quote is off-topic at best, dishonest at worst.
After some invective, the section ends without any rebuttal. I've never edited Iron Chariots before and feel I probably wouldn't live up to the responsibility, but someone should cut out the sections of the book quote that are irrelevant and hopefully address the central claim.
Update: I looked at the history and saw that this section was primarily written by Averick himself (though it was partially introduced by Arensb earlier with a short rebuttal). I think there is great danger in giving an apologist free-reign to promote their book and delete objections. If he thought his views weren't being represented and wanted to clarify, fair enough, but he is stifling dissent and using the Wiki as a platform to make completely unrelated points about Atheism leading to nihilism and despair. My blood is starting to boil about this, so I'll probably be addressing it myself. I generally don't like the prospect of editing other people's work, but I believe the good Rabbi has made himself an exception.
Final Update: I took a whack at the offending section. I left it largely intact, but wrote what I saw as obvious rebuttals. Please improve it as you all see fit, but I think I at least raised the flag on what had been captured territory. Dorsk188 02:57, 27 April 2011 (CDT)

Vascular Diagnostic Procedures
Vascular diseases can be difficult to diagnose. This is due to the fact that symptoms vary. Family history and physical examination are an important step in the diagnosis of vascular conditions. The type of vascular disease suspected is what determines the type of diagnostic test to perform. For example, if the peripheral vascular disease is suspected the physical exam will include checking the blood flow in the legs.
Your doctor may use various procedures to diagnose vascular diseases and disorders. These are used to evaluate and test your heart and vascular function. The procedures also help the doctor determine the best course of treatment once the condition has been diagnosed.
Types of vascular diseases include:
Vascular diagnostic procedures include:
Symptoms of vascular diseases include:
Your doctor will recommend treatment depending on the type of disease diagnosed. In the case of peripheral artery disease, prevention of complications such as gangrene is important while in the case of renal artery disease, balloon angioplasty may be the course of treatment chosen.

Marlins - 100 000 000 - 1 6 0Penny (5-3-1-4-3, 100) danced between the raindrops all night, stranding seven runners, including five at either 2nd or 3rd, in the first four innings. He relied mostly on his fastball, as his breaking stuff was ineffective. Penny retired six of his final seven batters, though, and collected his 100th career victory.
Red Sox - 020 200 11x - 6 9 1
The one Florida run was unearned, as it scored on the first error of Jacoby Ellsbury's major league career (at 232 games, it was the longest errorless streak by an outfielder in Red Sox history). Lyndon made up for the gaff: he walked twice, stole a base, and hit his third home run of the year (over the bullpens in right-center) in the seventh.
David Ortiz doubled, walked twice, and scored three runs. Dustin Pedroia went 3-for-5, stole two bases and drove in three runs. Rocco Baldelli singled twice.
The game was the 500th consecutive sellout at Fenway Park, dating back to May 15, 2003.
The quartet of Justin Masterson, Hideki Okajima, Ramon Ramirez and Jonathan Papelbon put up a 4-3-0-2-5 line. The only jam was from Ram-Ram, who allowed a walk and single to start the eighth, before getting a fly ball to left and two strikeouts.
The Natinals beat the Yankees 3-2, so Boston is now 3 GA in the East.
Andrew Miller (4.30, 98 ERA+) / Brad Penny (5.32, 89 ERA+)
In his last time out, Penny pitched six shutout innings against the Yankees.
He has pitched into the sixth inning in each of his last eight starts and in 10 of his 12 starts this season. Since the end of April, he has posted a 4.10 ERA (the AL average for the season is 4.45).
Terry Francona said moving Daisuke Matsuzaka to the bullpen is unlikely:Pedroia, 2B
Ellsbury, CF
Youkilis, 1B
Bay, LF
Lowell, 3B
Ortiz, DH
Baldelli, RF
Varitek, C
Green, SS
My first thought was that if we tell him that we're putting him in long relief that's probably not going to build his confidence a whole lot. You know, there's a lot of things to think about. When you put a guy in the bullpen, who comes out of the bullpen? When you send a guy to the bullpen, how does he react to the bullpen?
Also, Daisuke is typically our guy who takes the longest to warm up ... he goes out there a good 45-50 minutes before the game and throws a lot, so is that going to work? ... We can't just get caught up in what the fans and [media] are caught up in because we'll make some poor decisions.

The La Junta City Council, meeting amongst some weather anxiety, considered a variety of issues on Monday evening.
The La Junta City Council, meeting amongst some weather anxiety, considered a variety of issues on Monday evening. A 3.2 beer license was allowed to continue without interruption at the Pizza Hut. Three special events licenses were approved: Tri-County Housing CDC, Neighborworks Celebration, June 21, 6 to 11 p.m. at Thyme Square, 302 Colorado Ave; Our Lady of Guadalupe/St. Patrick Parish, Catholic Bazaar beer garden to be held July 5 from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and July 6 from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at 202 Lincoln Ave.; InspirationField, 26th Annual SECPA & SECOM Charity Golf Classic from 5 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. July 10 and 5 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. July 11 at 612 Adams Ave. A request to change, alter or modify premises by Red Dog Saloon was tabled for further information.
Citizen Bob Gleason complained about the city watering the cemetery during the hot and windy parts of the day. Citizen Tim Klob came to talk about marijuana issue to find it not on the agenda. City Attorney Phil Malouff assured him that at the meeting he is attending shortly, it will be the center of the discussion. Malouff apologized again for errors he had made at the last City Council meeting concerning the role of the Urban Renewal Board. Councilman Frank MacKenzie expressed confusion on the issue.
Events Coordinator Pam Denahy reported that the Women's Air Race, consisting of 47 teams, would be through La Junta on Wednesday afternoon through Thursday. Some difficulty is presented by not knowing when the planes will arrive, but Denahy thinks she has it covered. A group from Denver will be down to assist with the technicalities.
Barbara Ingles reported on a proposed art project for the Pedal the Plains event in September. There is a budget of $1,000. Ingles and the Creative Arts group are proposing figures, benches, flowers, etc., made of rusty or otherwise no longer useful farm implements be grouped for a sculpture. The proposed placements are either at the corner recently landscaped by the Chamber office on Highway 50 or the corner of the lot where the Kit Carson used to be. The figures will take welding, which will be done by Richard Hale, and a large area to build them in. Several business have volunteered space for the group to work.
The meeting concluded with a discussion of how La Junta and the Koshare Kiva could better present itself to the Amtrak passengers during their 20 minute stop in La Junta, morning and evening. Both Beverly Babb and Frank MacKenzie testified that although the train sometimes has unavoidable delays, every effort is made to get the passengers to where they need to make connections in as timely a manner as possible.
The Council adjourned to executive session at about 8:15 p.m.

Samuel Fanshaw's portrait of Harriet Sophia Richards (1822-1893), who went by the name of Sophie, is a significant discovery that introduces a new name to the front rank of American miniature painting. In his day, Fanshaw was recognized as a talented artist, trained at the National Academy of Design in New York during the late 1830s and quickly elected to professional membership in 1841. His timing, however, was unfortunate and his ambitions, like those of virtually all miniature painters, were cut short by the invention of photography in 1839 and its rapid popularization during the 1840s.
Of the only five Fanshaw miniatures known today, this is the finest. Moreover, it competes with the best work of any American master of the period. The artist's exceptional sensitivity and variety of touch, delicate modeling, and attention to detail offer an insightful record of the nineteen-year-old sitter on the eve of her marriage. These attributes collectively embody the highest principles of the art as codified in 1834 by Fanshaw's teacher, Thomas Seir Cummings: "works in miniature should possess the same beauty of composition, correctness of drawing, breadth of light and shade, brilliancy, truth of colour, and firmness of touch, as works executed on a larger scale."

GS: Where are you from?
KV: Montgomery, Alabama born and raised. In my bedroom playing video games is where I spent most of my days.
GS: What degree did you receive and when?
KV: I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry in December 2010 and was hooded in May 2011. I finished early.
GS: How long have you been at UAB?
KV: I joined the Department of Chemistry in August 2005 and Aaron Lucius' lab in June 2006.
GS: What is your research?
KV: I look at the assembly of a motor protein, E. coli ClpA. It works with another protein, ClpP, to form a sort of "molecular paper shredder", with ClpA pulling proteins into ClpP, which then destroys the protein. We've published four really nice papers
concerning the hydrodynamics and thermodynamics of the assemble of ClpA, making particular use of the technique of Analytical Ultracentrifugation through the Beckman XL-A in Peter Prevevlige's lab within the Department of Microbiology.
GS: Why did you choose UAB for your graduate studies?
KV: I was a part of the National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Chemistry during the Summer of 2002, between my Sophomore and Junior years at Lipscomb University. This program was chaired by Dr. Tracy Hamilton, and during the program I worked for Dr. Nonidez and Dr. Brande. It was a great experience, with it culminating in us presenting the research at the 2003 American Chemical Society National Convention. The people I met and experiences I had during my REU were the defining reason I chose UAB and the Department of Chemistry.
GS: Have you received any awards or honors?
KV: In 2010 I was named the Alabama Chapter of the American Chemical Society's Outstanding Chemistry Graduate Student Fellow. Additionally, I was awarded an Alabama EPSCoR Graduate Research Scholars Program Training Grant from 2008-09 and in 2006 I received the Department of Chemistry's Outstanding General Chemistry Teaching Assistant Award.
GS: What has been your most rewarding experience at UAB?
KV: Being the first graduate student in a lab gave me a lot of insight as to the "behind the scenes" nature of research; the financial and logistical aspects. It made for a difficult beginning with a lot of work, but it opened my eyes.
GS: Who was your greatest influence here at UAB and why?
KV: That's easy. My advisor (and co-labmate since day one), Aaron Lucius. I was his first graduate student, and he's been a great advisor to work for. We've been able to accomplish a lot in a relatively short amount of time and grow a large and very talented research lab.
GS: What is your motivation in your academics/research?
KV: I like doing interesting things, and doing them right. Research relies on this.
GS: What are your plans after graduation and for the future?
KV: For the next couple of months, I'll be adding to the ClpA assembly research foundation I helped build while in Lucius Lab by expanding on the research findings we published to include additional looks at the assembly state using X-ray Crystallography methods and Electron Microscopy/Tomography. Essentially trying to get as much done is as short amount of time as possible.
Keith's advice for other graduate students:
Enjoy your time the best you can, and help each other out. Surround yourself with good people and then strive to make them better. I'm very appreciative of not only the academic aspects I learned at UAB (and my undergraduate institution, Lipscomb University), but what I learned in the process regarding confidence and the ability to overcome obstacles. That knowledge and experience is probably more valuable, as it can be applied to any situation, not just academic ones.

The show will go on at Flat Rock Playhouse, its leaders said Tuesday.
At a news conference in the theater's rehearsal hall, Playhouse leaders announced they've surpassed their $250,000 fundraising goal, with more gifts pending, and will "definitely, solidly" offer a 2013 season.
Playhouse leaders also scheduled two public input meetings to discuss their 2013 business plan and answer questions. The first is set for noon on Dec. 19 at the Playhouse Downtown, followed by one at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 20 at the Rock.
"We've got a lot more work to do, but the good news is we're pushing on into 2013," said Bill McKibbin, president of the Playhouse's board of trustees.
Development Director Lynn Penny said the Playhouse had raised $253,559 in cash as of Tuesday, through a combination of Facebook appeals, community donations and a $100,000 challenge grant from an anonymous donor Nov. 29 that has been fully matched.
Following the news conference, the Playhouse learned that another anonymous donor had given a $100,000 challenge grant, to be matched dollar-fordollar by the end of the year.
That could provide an added incentive for Flat Rock Village Council, which will consider Thursday whether to lift a ban on nonprofit funding and allocate up to $50,000 more to the theater this year.
"If Flat Rock decides to move forward, every dollar that they give will be doubled, which would be fantastic," Executive Director Vincent Marini.
With more gifts pending next week and strong ticket sales for Tuesday's "For the Rock" charity event, Marini said he expects the theater company will raise at least half its long-term fundraising goal of $1 million by year's end.
"But we are definitely not out of the woods," Penny cautioned. "We have a ways to go."
On Tuesday, the theater also released a revised 2013 show schedule, which reduces the number of adult musicals and plays from 18 to 13.
The goal, Marini said, is to increase demand for tickets on the main stage.
"The best way to do that is to reduce the number of shows we're offering and make sure that we're offering programming that's attractive to our entire demographic," he said. The theater company will put on eight productions at the main stage, down two from this year, and five performances at the Playhouse Downtown, where Marini said production costs are lower and profit margins roughly 23 percent higher than at the Rock.
Playhouse leaders also said they are increasing their Music on the Rock performances by 25 percent in 2013, since three-quarters of those musical tributes sold out this season.
Including two YouTheatre shows, the theater plans 24 total productions in 2013 with hopes of selling 91,222 tickets. As of Dec. 4, the Playhouse had sold 91,012 tickets this year.
The Playhouse has made one minor adjustment to its 2013 schedule, replacing the downtown musical "Altar Boyz" — about a fictitious Christian boy-band on the last night of their "Raise the Praise" tour — with a bluegrassdriven musical called "Cotton Patch Gospel."
During the news conference, Marini said the Playhouse's downtown location is one of the most profitable parts of its business, making profit margins of about 53 percent, compared with profit margins closer to 39 percent at the main stage in a good year.
Putting on an average show downtown costs $15,000 to $40,000, he said, compared with $120,000 to $150,000 at the Rock. In 2010, he said Playhouse Downtown grossed close to $750,000 and added more than $300,000 in positive cash flow to the theater.

A Springfield man was arrested on drug charges Thursday after authorities allegedly found heroin on him following a traffic stop near Spring and Oak streets.
A police officer spotted Elmer B. Perkins, 42, of the 1400 block of East Washington Street, driving a pickup truck about 2:30 p.m. near 11th Street and Stanford Avenue. The officer knew that Perkins� license was revoked and alerted other officers in the area, according to a police report.
Perkins was pulled over and arrested on a charge of driving without a license.
While being booked into the jail, a correctional officer allegedly found a clear bag rolled up in Perkins� pant leg. The bag reportedly contained several individual packages of heroin.

Latest update : 2012-10-09
Athens braced for a day of rage
Athens is on high alert and Angela Merkel is on the front of every Greek newspaper as her visit to the Greek capital raises tensions. Meanwhile, in the US, reactions to Mitt Romney's speech on foreign policy are lukewarm, and an elderly couple in the UK discover an unusual plant in their backyard.
English-language daily Katherimini says security has been bolstered in Athens and protests are banned within the perimeter of Angela Merkel's official visit.
Greek newspaper Demokratia tells Merkel to prepare herself for the anger of the Greek people, who see her as a symbol of the tough austerity measures the country has had to endure.
Politico takes a look at Mitt Romney's foreign policy, saying he's vague on a number of issues, while The Guardian suggests the two candidates share many similar positions on international relations.
Finally, an elderly couple plant a sapling in their garden, only to find a huge cannabis plant a few months later! The Telegraph has the story.

Ardmore Little Theatre's production of the musical comedy "9 to 5" opens Thursday evening for an eight performance run at the Goddard Arts Center.
The show is based on the popular movie in which Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda portray three scheming office workers who get revenge on their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot boss by taking over the company.
After the movie's success, Parton composed both words and music and worked with book author Patricia Resnick in creating the two-act stage musical that hit Broadway in 2009.
In the ALT presentation, the three conspirators are played by Lesley Dvorak of Ardmore, Dani Mack of Durant, and Lisa Riggle, Dickson High School music and drama teacher. Richard Stevenson of Marietta portrays their evil employer and Lucinda Hicks of Ardmore plays the boss's biggest fan.
Directing the show is Susan Yeager of Ardmore who also directed ALT's productions of "Smokey Joe's Cafe", "Jekyll & Hyde, The Musical" and "Bye Bye Birdie." A seasoned professional performer who now teaches acting and vocal music in her Ardmore studio, Yeager also served as vocal music director for ALT's staging of "Evita" and "Hairspray."
Doug Hansen, instrumental music director for Lone Grove Schools, will conduct the show's orchestra, mainly comprised of area high school music directors. Actors and musicians are commuting from Paoli, Davis, Sulphur, Durant and Marietta to take part in ALT's production of "9 to 5."
Though set in the late 70's, the large cast musical remains topically relevant with timely jabs at the problems of equal rights, the glass ceiling and corporate chicanery. Outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic, "9 to 5" is about teaming up and taking care of business.
Performances, at the Goddard Arts Center, will be at 7 p.m., on Thursday through Saturday, and again on Feb. 28-Mar. 2. There also will be a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for all students. Parental guidance is suggested.
For reservations or to ask questions, call (580) 223-6387, visit the ALT website at www.ardmorelitttletheater.com or contact Ardmore Little Theatre via Facebook.

ROCKFORD — A group that aims to change Rockford from a city that Forbes calls "miserable" into an enviable one has taken on a name: Transform Rockford.
Previously, the months-old group led by businessmen and civic officials went by Rock River Regional Transformation. The effort continues to have a regional focus.
Organizers will host a summit from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Nov. 14 for anyone who wants to work on the effort. It will be at the Nordlof Center, 118 N. Main St. More than 100 people are expected to attend to hear several presenters talk about the issues that face Rockford and the region, and to seek input from audience members.
Tom Gendron will make remarks. He is chairman and CEO of Woodward Inc. and one of a handful of businessmen who have pledged more than $3 million to get the effort going. Woodward is building a $300 million factory and office in Loves Park to make airplane fuel systems and plans to double its local workforce, now at 1,400, in a decade. But Gendron, who has dozens of family members living in the Rockford area, has expressed concern about keeping the operation going long term if Rockford continues on its path socially and economically.
Gendron has talked about a broad goal of aiming to make Rockford one of the top 25 on national lists of desirable places to live, work and play by 2025. Specific strategies on how to get there will be determined over the coming months.
Several others who are also working on the plan will talk about their concerns about the city at the Nov. 14 meeting, said Mike Schablaske, a former Woodward employee who has been helping shepherd the effort.
Specifics of what presenters will say is not yet available, but topics will include employment, safety, poverty, education, taxes and health and wellness, Schablaske said.
A few of what Transform Rockford organizers call the "brutal facts" include:
- Joblessness: Unemployment in Winnebago and Boone counties in August, according to the most recent figures available, was 10.7 percent. The U.S. rate, 7.3 percent; Illinois, 9.2 percent.
- Poverty: Four of five students in the Rockford School District receive free or reduced-price lunches.
- Crime: There were 50 shots fired incidents in August citywide, up 38.9 percent from July. Although the vast majority were on the west side, they occur throughout the city. A violent crimes task force that Rockford Police Chief Chet Epperson said will include 10 local, state and federal agencies is getting off the ground in response.
Gendron has said the Transform Rockford group needs to help government and nonprofit groups "align efforts around strategies versus (pursuing) random acts."

DURHAM, N.C. – Rodney Hood registered 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists to lead Duke to a 103-67 exhibition win over Bowie State Saturday afternoon at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Hood was one of four Blue Devils to reach double-figures in scoring in the contest.
"It was a great opener for our guys," said head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "Bowie State has a lot of guys who can handle the ball. They are confident kids and they can really handle the ball. They like to score the ball and press. I thought they went after us the whole game. Overall, it was a good performance. I thought our bench gave us great energy. It was a good performance in October."
Freshman Jabari Parker added 16 points, four rebounds, five assists, three blocks and four steals for the Blue Devils, who blew open the game with an 18-2 spurt in the second half. Amile Jefferson and Matt Jones had 15 points apiece for Duke.
"I just wanted to treat it like every other game but put a little bit more importance in it just because it's college and it's Duke," said Parker. "I feel really comfortable out there. My older teammates just help me with my nerves and get me going in the right way and with the positive attitudes that they share with me."
The Blue Devils led 22-21 midway through the first half before Hood sparked a 10-2 run. He made a free throw, a shot in the paint and a jumper to push Duke ahead 32-23 with seven minutes left in the half.
Duke led 54-40 at halftime despite allowing the Bulldogs to shoot 58 percent from the floor. The Blue Devils got to the free throw line 26 times in the opening half of the play and finished the contest 34-of-50 (.680) from the charity stripe.
The Blue Devils finished the contest with 20 assists against nine turnovers, while shooting 45.6 percent (31-of-68) from the field. Jefferson, Hood and Parker were extremely efficient from the field, combining to go 18-of-26 (.692) from the field, including 16-of-19 (.842) from inside the three-point arc.
"It felt good, just to have a good team effort," said Hood. "We started off a little slow, but once we got into our rhythm, started hitting our free throws and got to moving, it felt good."
Duke forced 23 Bulldog turnovers and outscored Bowie State 27-9 in points off turnovers.
Brian Freeman finished with 17 points for Division II Bowie State and Ray Gatling added 12 points for the Bulldogs.

The government of Canada, the government of British Columbia and TransLink laid out the construction schedule for the next 12 months and finalized station names for the Evergreen Line in Metro Vancouver scheduled to open in summer 2016.
"Our government is proud to invest in infrastructure projects such as this that create jobs and economic growth and improve public transit for Canadians," said the James Moore, Minister responsible for British Columbia and Member of Parliament for Port Moody-Westwood – Port Coquitlam.

Video: Bella Gonzalez Says Pacquiao Made Shane Mosley His F*cking B*tch
I am all for your lady holding you down, but was a line crossed here?
We all know that Shane Mosley put on a horrible performance against Manny Pacquiao. We also know that Shane wanted to quit on his stool, but how do you feel about his girlfriend Bella Gonzalez screaming at him these words of encouragement in Spanish?
"He is making you his f*cking b*tch"
I don't know if Shane knows Spanish, but even if he does do you consider this motivation. She definitely wasn't lying.
As a member of the male species the one thing you never want is your lady thinking another man is punking you. The theory goes that she will never have respect for you, if you are being "b*tched" by another guy.
This is why there are so many fights and murders unfortunately over women.
I am sure the $6 million dollars plus that Shane Mosley made to run away from Pacquiao helped Gonzalez get over it, but in reality is that something that easily forgotten?
It is one thing to go out on your shield, women respect a gladiator win, lose or draw, but what about a coward?
In a few months if you hear that Shane and Gonzalez have broken up, you can thank Manny Pacquiao left hook for it.

URBANA, Ill. – Senior Henrique Cunha of the Duke men's tennis team reached the quarterfinals in the singles and doubles draw at the 2013 NCAA Individual Championships Friday at the Kahn Outdoor Tennis Center.
In singles, Cunha overwhelmed No. 17 Kyle McMorrow of Washington, 6-1, 6-0, in a match that lasted for just over an hour. The 2013 ACC Player of the Year, Cunha was able to go up an early break in the first set, 3-1, en route to cruising through the opening set, 6-1. In the second set, Cunha continued to roll in the second set, 6-0, of the match on his way to the fourth consecutive quarterfinal appearance of his career. A product of Jaú, Brazil, Cunha becomes the first Blue Devil to reach the quarterfinals in the singles draw in each of his four seasons.
Cunha is slated to face No. 12 Blaz Rola of Ohio State in Saturday's quarterfinal at 1 p.m. ET.
In doubles action, the dynamic duo of Cunha and Raphael Hemmeler edged No. 14 Dominic Cotrone and Davis, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5, to advance to Saturday's quarterfinals. Cunha and Hemmeler used two early breaks in the first set to gain a 5-2 advantage, before Florida State's Dominic Cotrone and Blake Davis came from behind to take the set, 7-5. Cunha and Hemmeler, the second-seeded tandem in the tournament, won a late break at 6-5 in the second set, before Cunha held serve to extend the match to a final third set. With Cunha serving and the Florida State tandem threatening to break to end the match, the Duke duo was able to save two match points to extend the match. In the following game, Cunha and Hemmeler were able to come through with a big break at 6-5, before Hemmeler held serve to seal the match.
Cunha and Hemmeler captured their 38th victory of the season, matching the second most victories in a single season by a Blue Devil tandem in the program's history. Cunha and Hemmeler are slated to face No. 6 Andy Mies and Dan Cochrane of Auburn Saturday in the quarterfinals.
Live scoring and live video will be available for Saturday's quarterfinals, which are slated to begin at 1 p.m. ET.

Boulder: 1102 Pearl St. (first Old Chicago location)
Broomfield: 1280 E. First Ave.
Longmont: 1805 Industrial Circle
Superior: 100 Superior Plaza Way, No. 100
Out with the Old Chicago and in with the new.
Old Chicago Pasta & Pizza, 110 Brews is now Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom.
CraftWorks Restaurants & Breweries Inc., which has headquarters in Broomfield and Chattanooga, Tenn., has plunked down roughly $10 million so far into a "refresh" of its Old Chicago restaurant concept, which got its start in Boulder in 1976.
The effort includes a new logo, redesigned interior, new menu and an increased focus on "handcrafted" offerings -- notably craft beer.
The facelift for the 37-year-old chain comes as the casual dining segment continues to lumber along in a slow recovery from the recent recession, said Darren Tristano, executive vice president of Technomic Inc., a Chicago-based research and consulting firm in the food service industry.
"What we're seeing is a mixed bag of successes and failures in restaurants in a shift in share from one brand to another," he said. "We're not seeing any substantial growth in the industry in the past five years -- still just recovery to the (state at the) start of the recession."
Old Chicago held its ground during that time, but the chain's overall performance has been flat, Tristano said.
"They're not accelerating. They're not improving. They're not on a decline either," he said.
Old Chicago's 96 restaurants, which include company-owned and franchised eateries, reeled in $230 million in revenue last year, according to Technomic data.
Old Chicago's sales were down slightly from previous years. From 2009 to 2011, revenue ranged from $233.6 million to $235 million.
Casual dining restaurants' 2012 sales posted a growth rate at just over 3 percent, and only slightly above inflation, Tristano said.
Old Chicago's changes also come as a sub-segment of "polished casual dining" restaurants had emerged to cater to consumers who remain frugal and discriminating with their spending, he added.
"In order to capture those occasions and those visits, these brands have to update, remodel, revitalize the interior of their restaurants to be more contemporary and position themselves to serve high-quality, more craft-oriented products," Tristano said.
Most concepts do tend to see a "nice return" during the first 12 months after a rebranding, he added. The sustainability of that return is dependent upon the individual concept, he said.
Whether this effort could bolster Old Chicago in the long run is too early to tell, Tristano said.
Growth opportunity
The changes to Old Chicago have been two-and-a-half years in the making and were initiated shortly after the brand landed under the CraftWorks umbrella, said Will Powers, senior marketing manager for the Boulder-bred chain.
The move to CraftWorks came in 2010 when the locally based Rock Bottom Restaurants Inc., which operated restaurants including Old Chicago, ChopHouse and Rock Bottom, grew too constrained financially to continue growing the operation.
Later that year, New York private equity firm Centerbridge Capital Partners L.P. acquired Louisville-based Rock Bottom and Tennessee-based Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant Group and combined the two as CraftWorks Restaurants and Breweries Inc.
Shortly after the pairing of the firms, Centerbridge identified Old Chicago as a viable candidate for investment and expansion, Powers said.
"Because of its popularity and we don't brew on site, it's a lot more efficient from a dollar sense to build an Old Chicago," he said. " ... We felt that there still was a tremendous amount of growth opportunity in the U.S."
Making note that consumers have become more savvy and discerning when it comes to food, Powers said the aim was to help Old Chicago evolve.
After a battery of qualitative and quantitative research, officials landed on 17 initiatives that spanned elements such as construction, marketing, service, beverages and food, he said.
What resulted was a honing in on the heritage of the brand -- pizza and beer -- and an overhaul of the menu with 90 percent new items and all offerings with no preservatives. There also will be increased training for employees and design changes such as installing 36-tap bars and 50-inch flatscreen TVs in the restaurants' bars to serve as electronic beer boards listing the availability of offerings, Powers said.
"We definitely wanted to drive home the craft beer authority and our seriousness when it comes to craft beer," he said.
Brewing boom
Old Chicago's modification also is occurring amid a boom in the craft brewing industry and the rise of nanobreweries and dedicated craft beer bars.
Just over 2,400 breweries -- among them 2,347 craft breweries -- operated for some or all of 2012, according to the Brewers Association, a Boulder-based trade association representing the craft beer industry. It's the highest total for breweries since the 1880s.
There also are more than 1,300 craft breweries in the planning stages, the association has said.
The increase in independently operated taphouses and breweries could benefit Old Chicago, Powers said.
"The more people we can educate on craft beer ... the better it will be," he said. "It's going to be very difficult for Old Chicago to compete against an owner-operated (brewery or bar). We're a casual dining establishment with an emphasis on craft beer."
Old Chicago is banking on that combination in furthering a potentially aggressive expansion in its future store plans and franchising operations.
The brand currently has 58 corporate locations and 38 franchise-operated locations. About 75 percent of them have received the remodel.
The current concept, Powers said, could allow the restaurant chain to get to 300 locations in three to five years or 500 in seven to 10 years.
Seen as the growth vehicle, Old Chicago was the first out of the gate for CraftWorks' refurbishment plans. Rock Bottom and Gordon Biersch remodels are in the beta testing stages, Powers said.

I always saw her as being some form of demi-goddess. Perhaps in age and power, on par with such powers as Hssss and Hordak? It would explain how she was able to defeat Ram-Man and He-Man so easily in their initial confrontation.
(and let's not forget she is one of the few who's ever been able to disarm He-Man instead of having him deflect the magic)
If she gets made, I am SOOO having a war between her and Hordak!

Sorry, with that coloring, she is Gar. I just think she's clearly something more powerful since she has the all-black eyes. She seems to be a lot older than Keldor though, I would not expect them to be related. I also think it's high time we get a better name for the Gar. That sounds like some kind of Eternian racist slur.
She is a Gar. Once an extremely powerful Sorceress who became immortal.
Who thinks they will make her Skeletor's mother? I hope not!

If she's a Gar, then I'm an Adreenid! Blue skin does not a Gar make.
I see her as being to Eternia what Lilith is to us. Perhaps she's an ancient enemy of Grayskull or Hssss, one of whom managed to seal her away in the House of Darkness since they couldn't destroy her?
Heck, let ME write her bio!

With Hordak and Hsss already coming from non-Eternian worlds, the Masters need another homespun adversary. I would like to see them do something akin to what I wrote in my "Dark Legacies" story:
Shokoti was a powerful Gar sorceress, and member of the Council of Wisdom (or Elders)--but in reality her only allegiance was to herself, and she betrayed Grayskull et al. to the Horde (or Snake Men). As punishment, the Cosmic Enforcers locked her away in her pyramid for a few centuries. Later, Shokoti used her magic to seduce Miro, who freed her and...well, Keldor came along nine months later.
Of course, that's just what I'd like to see. In reality, I'll happily take her however they wanna give her to us.

There are some Filmation women (other than Shadow Weaver) that we really need in MOTUC :
- Scorpia
- Octavia
- Kittrina
And this is the bare minimum !
So YES, please bring Shokoti into plastic form soon ! She's a character fans have waited for for 30 years !
I'd like an articulated version of THIS in MOTUC. Like, NOW:

Also, if you resemble an Andreenid as much as she resembles a Gar, I'd like to be your agent.
He actually got it right, riiiight at the end of the show, unintentionally though.
I like her look, her aura and as was said, she actually seemed a halfway competent evil-doer - rare in a Filmation cartoon. She seemed genuinely creepy.
Lord Maske, although secondary to Shokoti, also looks interesting...
She is just wanna of those characters that just sticks with you throughout the filmation series, hoping to see again,her and Masque. She seems very powerful, and is more hellbent on trying to create uncontrolled chaos then skelator, kingg hiss and Hordak combined. It would be great if they made her an ally of the Fighting Foe men from Preternia, ancient enemy of Vikor or something. There is so much they can do with her history because they have no real background story on her. If we ever do get a figure, she should come with skull headed staff in lieu of her cyrstal ball in the epsiode.
I wish there was a way we could get a figure of Shokoti closer to Baena's painting or this redesign by Buffalo-Bill-Man:
Shokoti is probably my favorite Filmation-only character (favorite Filmation villain definitely) but I fear she's going to suffer if the 4H go for a slavish interpretation with animation-cel level of (non)detail. It worked for Adora, but Shokoti deserves the same level of ornate detail as Teela.

Please check out my MOTU revision fan art, and fan fiction: Metternia bios and history & myths.
Now also on DeviantArt: http://osmatar.deviantart.com/
Shokoti is second on my Filmation want list after Octavia. I have no doubt that the 4H will add some detail to Shokoti, her outfit was very simple. I really like the skirt seen in the photo posted by Met-Hild.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
Shakoti has been TM'd by Mattel. Unfortunately, Shokoti is how it was spelled in the cartoon and there are no TM's for Shokoti (so, it's available). Anyway, TheFallen had the idea Mattel could use Shakoti to be Shokoti's mother. I said the statue could be this Shakoti, since she wears a dress and helmet (no hair showing), unlike Shokoti. Here are pics I screen captured:
For accessories, Shokoti could come with a Darkling (think, living bagpipe monster) and her crystal ball skull!

IBM is being understatedly quiet about its new Compilers on System z, preferring to talk about them through the company's own magazine channels rather than making a big press fanfare out of things.
Internal (but outward facing) IBM journals detail the optimization technology and hardware exploitation capabilities in the System z processor architectures intended to help developers create high-performance applications without expert knowledge on performance engineering and hardware architectures.
In this regard we are looking at IBM's COBOL, PL/I, and C/C++ compilers for System z. The firm uses the words "portability and reliability" to denote their main characteristics and says that they support the latest IBM middleware, CICS, DB2, and IMS.
COBOL, PL/I, and C/C++ compilers provide integrated coprocessor support for CICS and DB2. With this support, embedded CICS and DB2 statements are compiled in a single step.
Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V5.1 was announced April 23, 2013, and became generally available on June 21, 2013. This compiler has apparently been re-architected to include an advanced technology framework for optimizing COBOL applications and exploiting z/Architecture, including latest zEnterprise BC12 (zBC12) hardware.
"Many well-structured, CPU-intensive batch applications have shown performance increases of greater than 10 percent," says IBM writer Richard Koo. "This will reduce CPU utilization and lower operating costs for customers running business-critical applications. In addition, Enterprise COBOL V5.1 has many new features that help improve programmability, developer productivity, and capabilities to modernize existing applications."
Painting a welcome analogy, Koo points out that like mileage on cars, performance can be difficult to quantify because it depends on a number of factors — how the application is written, the hardware architecture it runs on, system (i.e., hardware and software) configuration, etc.
"Enterprise COBOL Developer Trial for z/OS V5.1 will enable you to plan and assess the real value that could be gained by your applications from upgrading to Enterprise COBOL V5.1. You can also try out new programming features and determine how to make use of them in your applications," says Koo.
Enterprise COBOL Developer Trial for z/OS V5.1 is identical to Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V5.1. It has the same hardware and software prerequisites as the full product. There are no imposed restrictions in functionality and performance. The only difference is the trial version can only be used in non-production environments, and code compiled with it cannot be used in production.

I have a couple regulator questions:
1) While taking apart my RT i was unable to remove the regulator piston assembly without unscrewing the tiny allen set screw on the outside of the regulator housing. I thought this set screw was only to lock the valve into the Z - slot, does it do anything else? should it be so tight that it touches the regulator piston?
2) In the video that came with the gun, the regulator seat appears to set down into a recessed area tight enough to stay on the regulator body. Mine does not do that, it will fall right out. The other side, the o-ring side, does fit tightly around the regulator valve pin, though. Is anything wrong with mine, or just a slightly different model?
Here are some pictures. Thanks in advance for any help!

GS: Where are you from?
LK: I was born in Ibadan, Nigeria and grew up in Champaign, Illinois.
GS: What degree will you receive and when?
LK: I received my B.S. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2005 and I will receive my PhD in Vision Science in 2009.
GS: How long have you been at UAB?
LK: I moved to Birmingham for graduate school in July of 2006.
GS: What is your research?
LK: My research compares the inflammatory responses to 30 days of daily versus extended contact lens wear by measuring changes in inflammatory protein concentrations in tears using the cytometric bead-based assay—clinical test results will also be correlated with the changes found in cytokine levels.
GS: What made you choose UAB for your graduate studies?
LK: UAB is home to one of the top Vision Science programs in the country. After visiting several other universities, I noticed that UAB faculty, staff and even students were notably more hospitable and accommodating. It was apparent that they put more of an emphasis on how they could contribute to my development as a student and professional than in what I would bring to the program.
GS: Have you received any awards or honors?
LK: I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with Academic Distinction for my research in an area completely unrelated to vision; plant biotechnology. I am currently a Comprehensive Minority Faculty Staff and Development Program (CMFSDP) Doctoral Fellow, a Minority Access Inc Student Role Model and honoree and the 2008 First Place Student Research Presenter award winner.
GS: What has been your most rewarding experience at UAB?
LK: My research would not be possible without the volunteers who participate as research subjects. I have had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people—often maintaining contact and developing friendships with them long after they have completed the study. I consider it rewarding to know them not just as patients or research participants but as individuals. It is also particularly valuable for me to know how the challenges they face with vision, specifically with glasses and contact lens wear impact their daily lives.
GS: Who was your greatest influence here at UAB and why?
LK: Faculty and staff here are incredibly supportive but my greatest influence at this institution has been Dr. Rod Fullard, OD, PhD. As my mentor, he has been extremely supportive, not only in the lab and academics, but has also taken a vested interest in my future goals as a researcher/clinician.
GS: What is your motivation in your academics/research?
LK: The motivation for my research comes from the promising clinical implications and future applications. In the future, this type of work could be used to test the effectiveness of drug treatments and/or therapies for various eye diseases. Measuring levels of immune markers like cytokines in tears will provide more information than traditional clinical test results—which are often unreliable and subjective. It may also be used in disease diagnosis and differentiation of subtypes of complex diseases like dry eye.
GS: What are your plans after graduating and for the future?
LK: My plan after graduation is to obtain my Doctor of Optometry degree (OD) from the UAB School of Optometry. I would like to teach and continue to do research with a clinical focus. I have not decided what area but I will most likely focus on ocular surface disease or contact lens research.
GS: Is there anything else you would like to say?
LK: I would just like to express my appreciation to all of the faculty and staff at the UAB School of Optometry, the Vision Science Program, the Office for Equity and Diversity for their support, contribution to my work and my personal growth.
Lucy's advice for other graduate students:
Embrace challenges—a challenge is an opportunity to grow.

Trachsel lost his control in the fourth and did not get out of the fifth (4.1-5-4-3-4-1, 102). But every time the Red Sox scored, Schilling (5.1-9-4-4-2-4, 95) gave it right back.
Orioles - 000 013 000 - 4 13 1Donnelly dug a little hole with one out in the seventh, but Okajima got the necessary two outs on six pitches. The Sox went wild in the final two frames -- 11 men batted in the eighth -- to make this one a laugher. (box)
Red Sox - 000 131 35x - 13 15 0
Papelbot saw his first action since last Sunday. O's 9th: Markakis (ffbbf) struck out looking. Bynum flew to left. Bako (fc) singled to left. Huff (bf) lined to third.
Lugo was 4-for-5, Manny reached base four times (double, 2 walks, HBP), Ortiz scored three runs, and Cora (who hit for Pedroia in the 7th) was 2-for-2 and isa now hitting .432.
The MASN team of Gary Thorne and Buck Martinez were annoying and often stupid. They compared the outfields of both teams by looking at batting average, HR and RBI and determined Baltimore's was better. After many years, Martinez is still unable to correctly pronounce our DH's last name. He laughed at people who think OBP is important and after noting his win-loss record, he said "Josh Beckett is the best starter in baseball."
Thorne, who did not mention anything about Curt's socks(!), said that the Birds were 11-4 against East teams so far and that "only the Sox are better -- at 12-5". About five seconds later, an on-screen graphic showed, with winning percentage, that 11-4 is actually better than 12-5, not worse.
On the plus side, they did not comment on Manny's hair.
