Thanksgiving Updates from Underdog, High Pitch Erik, and Mick the Nerd
An ancient Roman banquet, a few punishing bathroom sessions, and a failed garden
The holidays are a time for catching up with family, friends, and the many characters of the Stern Show, of course. Check out what you missed with Suzanne "Underdog" Muldowney, High Pitch Erik, and Mick the Nerd below!
Underdog Makes an Ancient Roman Thanksgiving Banquet
One of the most fascinating Thanksgiving rituals came from none other than Underdog who told Shuli she was "going to have an ancient Roman banquet" for dinner.
"The individual food items can be portioned to the number of people partaking of them," she further explained.
How many guests was she expecting? "Nobody, I'll be just by myself," she said.
The feast consisted of a tuna fish appetizer followed by a second course of roast beef, a third course of pork, bacon, cocktail-sized sausage, cheese, and apple juice. Her fourth course included chicken breast, a Kaiser roll, and grape juice. Dessert choices were an apple, raisins, or a slice of cake.
Howard was astonished. "You know how many animals are going to die to feed her?" he said.
High Pitch Erik Punishes the Bathroom for 20 Minutes, Three Times a Day
High Pitch Erik, who only months ago found himself in the middle of a "love thrice," called in Tuesday morning to report that he had spent Thanksgiving with his friend April at her parents' house in Upstate New York.
Despite eating a feast of his own consisting of turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, lasagna, turnips, and three pieces of pumpkin pie, the Wack Packer revealed that he was able to keep a hold of his bowels until returning to the hotel room so as not to destroy the family's bathroom.
This led Howard to wonder about Erik's typical bathroom session.
"Just about 15, 20 minutes … two or three times a day, at least," High Pitch explained. "It just comes pouring out."
Even more disturbing is the fact that Erik shares a communal bathroom in his building with nearly 20 other people on his floor.
Still, the Wack Packer maintained that his underwear remains skid mark-free no matter the circumstances.
Mick the Nerd Does Not Have a Green Thumb
It's been a while since Mick the Nerd has been heard on the show, but it seems not much has changed with the bearded lover of comics.
While Mick claims his job consists of taking care of his parents' garden, new photographic evidence seems to prove just the opposite.
"It's like a pile of dead shit," Howard described. "The guy does not have a green thumb."
Moreover, Stern Show correspondent Wolfie reported that he recently called Mick's residence around 1 p.m. and discovered the Wack Packer asleep much to his mom and dad's displeasure. His father, in fact, believes the little bit of fame from the show is already getting to his son's head.
"Yeah, that's fair," Mick admitted.
For now, though, he told Wolfie that his main focus will continue to be writing a comic series of his own and creating a podcast.

ASPCA condemns Vicks return to NFL
Michael Vick's "handlers" approached the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals about conducting anti-dogfighting work with the organization, but was turned down, according to an ASPCA press release issued Friday.
"This organization and I personally have seen the acts of cruelty committed by Mr. Vick first hand — acts so heinous that the public has never laid witness to them," Ed Sayres, president and CEO of the ASPCA said in a prepared statement.
Noting that the ASPCA helped process evidence that led to Vick's 18-month imprisonment, Sayres condemned Vick's return to the NFL and his signing with the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Today, it is difficult to see him in the uniform of a Philadelphia Eagle because of the startling lack of judgment and moral character he has demonstrated over the past several years. It is questionable whether he will have any credibility as an educator on the dog fighting issue."
Vick has teamed up with the Humane Society of the United States to campaign against dogfighting.
The ASPCA statement was prompted by Vick's interview last week on 60 Minutes:
Here is the press release in its entirety.
"After careful consideration, we have decided to speak out now about Michael Vick because of the special circumstances involving the ASPCA. Several months ago, Mr. Vick's PR representatives approached the ASPCA to help educate America about the heinous act of dog fighting following his release from prison. We were the first animal welfare organization given the opportunity to work with Mr. Vick but immediately turned him down due to the unique knowledge we had of his indescribable and barbaric acts of animal cruelty where he and his associates savagely electrocuted and beat dogs to death after they lost their brutal fights.
"The ASPCA's general consultation and our specific role in processing the forensic evidence in this case were key elements that resulted in Mr. Vick and the three other defendants all pleading guilty to felony crimes. As such, this organization and I personally have seen the acts of cruelty committed by Mr. Vick first hand — acts so heinous that the public has never laid witness to them. And now that Mr. Vick has spoken out for the first time since his release from prison, the ASPCA wants to make clear why this organization chose not to partner with him in his supposed rehabilitation efforts. We are simply not convinced that Mr. Vick has demonstrated compassion
"60 Minutes provided a convicted criminal a national platform to selfishly focus on his own recovery when, in fact, the animals, the victims who cannot speak for themselves, should have received the attention. CBS did a grave disservice to the animal welfarecommunity by failing to show the ugly truth of Mr. Vick's actions and the horrors of dog fighting and animal cruelty in this country. The continued attention paid to Mr. Vick is only reinforcing that criminal behavior does not destroy fame and fortune.
"The ASPCA works every day to prevent animal cruelty, in the absence of tougher, more consistent laws and lack of education and awareness. We serve as the animals' voice, as millions of animals suffer alone and in silence because they cannot speak out against their perpetrators. When a crime against animals is committed, the ASPCA's priorities are to build a sound case that results in successful prosecution of the perpetrators, as well as the rehabilitation of the victims. Our direct involvement in the Vick case yielded success in both areas, and in fact, we work every day to ensure perpetrators like him are behind bars.
"Although Mr. Vick has served his time and is now entitled to employment, the ASPCA was strongly against him being able to immediately re-join the NFL, to play alongside highly paid elite athletes who are looked upon as our heroes and role models. Today, it is difficult to see him in the uniform of a Philadelphia Eagle because of the startling lack of judgment and moral character he has demonstrated over the past several years.
"It is questionable whether he will have any credibility as an educator on the dog fighting issue. The ASPCA welcomes a national conversation on animal cruelty and especially dog fighting, but questions Mr. Vick's ability to lead it.
"The ASPCA will heighten its efforts to bring this national travesty to the surface through meaningful education and discussion that brings the hard, cold sickening reality of a fight into stark relief for those who might wonder why all the fuss about a dog fight. A true national discussion would focus not on one man and his crimes, but on a nation that allows dog fighting to happen every day without a national outcry. This is where the ASPCA will focus its energies in the coming months.
"Mr. Vick has indeed been given another chance to play football with the Philadelphia Eagles. It is important to state that the ASPCA is extremely disappointed that owner Jeff Lurie hired him for his team before it was clear that Mr. Vick has truly developed a sense ofcompassion for his victims, the animals whose lives were taken by him. The ASPCA believes in second chances — in redemption — but that second chance has to be earned through contrition, conversion to the cause of animal welfare and finally, through hard work.
"Mr. Vick has only now begun his journey toward a second chance. It will be a long and hard road for him, and while we wish him well, we also want to remind the nation that the work of ridding the nation of dog fighting is as compelling a story as one man's path to redemption. Let's not forget to focus on the animals, the crimes that are still being committed every day in the United States. What are we, as a nation, going to do about that? How are we going to express our outrage long past the first time Mr. Vick takes the field in Philadelphia?
"Compassion for animals is the hallmark of the ASPCA and the ultimate message that we hope is gleaned from this horrific story. While this case has garnered the national spotlight because of Mr. Vick's notoriety, it is the end result that will matter most. Will Mr. Vick have learned something — and taken the opportunity he has been granted to impart to his legion of fans the importance of compassion toward animals? Certainly, only time will offer us an answer — but we will be watching."

Certainly what Vick did to those dogs is indefensible… But under close examination this surely is true: We are all M Vick. At least those of us who use animals for unnecessary purposes – such as "food, clothing and entertainment" – as none of these practices are "necessary".
It's very easy to single Vick out as a monster – what he did was for pleasure only… No one "needs" to fight with dogs. So too, no one "needs" to eat the flesh of other sentient beings. In fact, we are discovering the the practice is actually unhealthy. Therefore, if we stand around the barbeque, in our leather shoes – roasting parts of killed animals – what is the difference between us and Vick?
Cows, pigs, cats, goats, chickens, dogs and all animals all are simpilar to us in that they are aware of the world and do not wish to be killed – whether it's to be killed in a fight ring or a slaughter line – To an animal (who is like us) it's all death.
Thanks for inviting comment –

NEW DELHI, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- The Indian government is scheduled to reach a final decision on Monday on whether or not to partially ban the Blackberry cellular services, in particular its email service.
The decision is expected after Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram's meeting with BlackBerry manufacturer Research in Motion (RIM) and examines its final offer.
The meeting would consider a technical report prepared after two days of talks last week between RIM officials and Indian security agencies.
The report contains some suggestions on how a secure email on BlackBerry may be accessed.
The Indian government is likely to extend the Aug. 31 deadline if RIM puts forward a concrete solution to grant security agencies access of its secure email and messenger services.
BlackBerry's troubles in India, which could cut it out from one of the world's fastest growing mobile phone markets, are the latest in the firm's global headaches as governments worry its encrypted services could be used for activities from terrorism to peddling pornography.
A shutdown would affect about 1 million users in India out of a total 41 million BlackBerry users worldwide, allowing them to use the devices only for calls and Internet browsing.

Our team at MetsMinors.net and MMO have been very busy over the last few weeks as we prepared to begin rolling out our 2014 Top 40 Prospects for the New York Mets.
This past season was one of many surprises that saw fortunes of many Mets prospects rise and fall. It was a great year for the organization as several prospects made their Major League debuts and appear to be here to stay – none more prominent of course than our No. 1 Prospect in 2013, Zack Wheeler. Other highly ranked prospects to debut included Juan Lagares and Travis d'Arnaud, both of whom will likely grab starting jobs next season at their respective positions.
We have plenty of new faces on this year's list, and as usual, we will try to pack in as much insight and analysis as we can as we go deeper into the list, including much of our own first hand observations and what we've learned from the Mets minor league development team along the way. So without further ado, lets get right to it…
40. Jhoan Urena, 3B
Height: 6'1
Weight: 200 LBs
DOB: 9/1/1994 (19 years old)
Bats/Throws: Switch/Right
Hit: 40/45 Power: 35/50 Arm: 55/60 Field: 45/45 Speed: 45/45
Jhoan Urena was recently named to Baseball America's GCL Sleeper List — and for good reason. He was signed in 2011 for $425,000 as an International Free Agent out of the Dominican Republic. Urena is a big guy for a third baseman, but many scouts compliment him on his mobility. He also covers himself a little with an above-average arm and demonstrates good hands, so he might actually stick at third base down the line. His range is around average, but still pretty impressive for a guy his size.
That's quite an important thing to note, considering he packs some extra power in his swing because of his body type. He's a switch hitter — which is always good to see — but seems to be more proficient as a left-handed hitter. Urena slashed .299/.351/.376 in 157 at-bats for the GCL Mets in 2013 with six doubles, three triples, no home runs, and four stolen bases. I know it's weird to see me give a potential average power rating for a guy that hit zero home runs, but word is he was purposely looking to make more line drive contact. It makes sense, since he bumped his average up about 20 points from the DSL.
Urena finished the year on a strong note, going 11-for-33 (.333) with three doubles over his last ten games.
It'll be really interesting to see what the Mets do with Urena. The simple decision would be to let him play in short-season Kingsport and start him at third base. However, depending on what players the Mets draft and subsequently send to Brooklyn for 2014, he also could find himself repeating at GCL again. I'd like to see him try to get that immense power he's shown during batting practice into some real game situations, but Brooklyn might not be the best place for that…so we'll see. In any case, it'll be some time before we start thinking about Urena at the MLB level.
Thoughts from Joe D.
I obviously haven't seen Urena myself, but in speaking with two people who have watched the GCL extensively, what impresses everyone most is above average bat speed and how quickly his hands move through the zone. He has a fluid swing that is not as long as most power hitters, and he generates most of his power from his lower torso and his powerful arms.

In 1879, John Brisben Walker, businessman and developer, established Berkeley Farm, which eventually encompassed over 1,500 acres. The farm is believed to have been named after Berkeley Springs, Virginia, where Walker and his wife once lived. Walker and Dr. William A. Bell, who had platted the Highland Park suburb in Highlands as well as entire townsites in the state, organized the Berkeley Farm and Cattle Company in 1885 to manage the farm. Berkeley Lake was developed as a reservoir by the Rocky Mountain Ditch Company on the northern portion of the farm. Walker donated fifty acres of his land to the Jesuits who established Sacred Heart College, later Regis College, in 1887. In 1888, Walker's farm was purchased by a group of Kansas City investors who employed the real estate firm of Carleton Ellis and John McDonough to subdivide and sell the land. William Lang was commissioned to design thirty-five houses for the development.
The Berkeley area eventually became split into two parts: Lower Berkeley and Berkeley Hill. The school for lower Berkeley was the Louisa M. Alcott Elementary School, built in 1892. The Berkeley Hill children went to Berkeley School at West 50th Avenue and Lowell. The Berkeley neighborhood continued to develop throughout the mid 20th century, largely though subdivisions. The lion's share of the growth occurred in the 1950s and 1960s.

So Long at the Fair
So Long at the Fair
It's pretty hard to write freshly about extramarital affairs --- Tolstoy and Flaubert did it rather well, after all --- and still more difficult to be honest and accurate about how a marriage feels from the inside (if you've never been married, you don't know; if you are married, it feels disloyal). Christina Schwarz attempts both in SO LONG AT THE FAIR, limiting herself rigorously to a single crucial day in the life of a not-so-romantic triangle. Jon and Ginny are a childless couple, neither entirely happy nor desperately mismatched; Freddi is Jon's advertising agency colleague and mistress.
Schwarz does well with Jon's sense of being "unmoored" --- his guilty, shifting states of mind as he vacillates between genuine devotion to Ginny and fierce attraction to Freddi. But this is not a novel told from a single-pointed perspective. We also hear what Ginny and Freddi are thinking --- both women are nervous, angry and mostly keeping their true feelings under wraps --- and Jon's workmate Kaiser, who knows about the affair but hasn't (yet) spilled the beans. And, just for good measure, we get a creepy look inside the brain of Ethan, the obsessive-compulsive guy with a crush on Freddi.
Schwarz, it seems, wants to examine the affair in Rashomon-like fashion, suggesting that there is no whole, absolute truth to a marriage but only a range of fragmentary visions. She keeps us in suspense about what Jon will do, whether Ginny will find out, and how Freddi and Ethan's story will develop. All this is plausible. I loved her opening scene, a fight between Jon and Ginny about nothing --- and everything. Schwarz grasps the way one takes the temperature of a vulnerable marriage as with a sick child, alternately feeling safe or uncertain or furious or blessed. She gets its massive presence in an individual's life, a presence in which love or desire or contentment becomes almost irrelevant.
Jon's mother told him, when he first became engaged to Ginny, that "marriage is a heavy thing," and late in the book he realizes she was right: "[H]e saw suddenly, vividly, that that heaviness, that fabric of understandings and misunderstandings, of events witnessed, celebrated, and mourned, of dependable support and casual betrayal, of happy occasions of agreement and of never-ending accommodations both willing and grudging, that union, enduring despite insults and neglect, relentlessly invested with hope, had become the bulk of his life."
If Schwarz had left it at that, I would have found SO LONG AT THE FAIR an absorbing, intelligent book. However, she chose not only to play with multiple viewpoints and numerous flashbacks, but also to lard the novel with an italicized subplot, a skeletal, murky tale of love and violence from 1963. Its relevance to the main story doesn't become clear until close to the end of the novel, when we find out how the modern protagonists are related through their parents' older ties. I can't say more than that without giving away the plot; suffice it to say that it involves rape, revenge and a near-fatal accident.
I understand that Schwarz might want to use this backstory to suggest how the secrets and dramas of the past ripple out to touch other lives and generations. But I became so confused by the double narratives that at one point I had to make a diagram of the characters and their connections to one another! Old-fashioned historical novels give you family trees at the beginning and helpful maps. Perhaps this tricky breed of modern fiction needs to do the same.
In an interview, Schwarz acknowledges that she had intended the 1963 plot line to be an entirely separate novel; although it grew out of SO LONG AT THE FAIR, "it was obviously too much of a digression to stand as a chapter." But when a friend commented on the thematic relatedness of the two stories and urged her to make them part of the same book, Schwarz says, "the ol' break-it-into-italicized-sections idea occurred to me and to my surprise it worked."
No, it didn't. I got tired of guessing who was who, and the subplot simply distracted me from the heart of the novel (and its most immediate and compelling aspect): Jon, Ginny and Freddi's story. There seems to be a vogue these days for writing books that jump between decades or juggle past and present. Well handled, this is a wonderfully complex and evocative technique; done mechanically, it just gums up the works.
SO LONG AT THE FAIR nonetheless has many attractive and satisfying aspects, not the least of which is Schwarz's skill at recreating the small-town setting. The local country club is an evocative reference point. Once a thriving concern and a locus of assignation and danger, it is now derelict, its golf course a tangled woodland that Ginny, a landscape architect, is hired to work on as part of a high-end housing development. Class tensions, always exaggerated in a community where a few families rule the roost and everybody knows everybody else, rumble underneath the drama. The title isn't just metaphorical; there is an actual fair (Summerfest, the big music festival held annually near Milwaukee) at which all the protagonists wind up at the end of the day --- and the novel --- in an eventful denouement.
Schwarz is talented. I'll definitely read her next book, and it was no great hardship to get through this one. I appreciate her sense of place, her powers of observation, and her gift for building ordinary yet fascinating characters. But in SO LONG AT THE FAIR, I'm afraid that she loses sight of the whole and leaves the reader floundering.

(INDIANAPOLIS) - The state senate has approved the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, known as HJR-3.
By a vote of 32-17, lawmakers approved the controversial measure, but because of previous changes made by lawmakers, the resolution will not be on this year's ballot.
Lawmakers met for nearly three hours behind closed doors Monday before going into session.
You can watch the vote live on the General Assembly web site.
Still, Monday's vote was somewhat overshadowed by one state senator's "war of words" on Twitter.
Sen. Mike Delph, R-Carmel, held a news conference Monday morning at the Indiana Statehouse to address his controversial social media posts last week surrounding HJR-3.
Last Thursday, the lawmaker posted a string of controversial tweets and comments on his Twitter feed regarding the debate about a gay marriage amendment to the Indiana constitution.
The Republican senator had proposed to restore original language to the gay marriage legislation, HJR-3, that would have included restrictions on civil unions and domestic partnerships. The measure failed to move forward in the senate Thursday and the bill became ineligible to be placed on the fall ballot.
The resolution would not be able to go to voters until 2016 at the soonest, since proposed constitutional amendments have to pass two consecutive, separately elected legislatures with the exact same wording.

Accounting is known as the language of business. Individuals and businesses rely upon accountants to collect, classify, and determine financial stability. The Else School of Management offers a BBA. in accounting and also a master of accountancy (MAcc). At Millsaps College, professors create a learning environment that borrows situations from the real world, so you can practice making good decisions. Our professors are leaders in their academic field, outstanding teachers, and mentors. You will find numerous opportunities for real world experience thanks to internships, and graduates secure jobs with leading accounting firms and other businesses.

"During my teaching career my primary goal has been to help young people develop their ability to think creatively and analytically and develop morally and intellectually. I strive to not only be a teacher but a mentor, role model, and friend to my students. For example, I supervised many independent studies and internships. Several of the directed studies have resulted in research that has been presented at professional meetings and/or published in professional journals. I also strive to involve students and business leaders in an interactive learning environment by bringing real world experiences into the classroom. For instance, I regularly schedule partners from accounting firms in Jackson to present cases drawn from their current practice to my Advanced Financial Accounting Theory and Problems class.
"I have been very active in the Accounting Residency Program helping place our students in positions that allow them to gain professional work experience before graduation. These activities are critical for expanding partnerships between the College and the regional and national business community. We have had an almost 100 percent placement rate for students who graduate from our M.Acc. Program during the past 20 years.
"Globalization of business requires accounting educators to take on the challenge of preparing our students to be much more than merely technically competent accountants. We as educators we must foster and nurture an entrepreneurial spirit in our students and motivate them to strive to achieve life goals that go beyond ordinary endeavors. By offering an academically challenging, innovative curriculum we must provide students a strong foundation in fundamental business skills as well as general abilities such as critical thinking, communication, quantitative thinking, historical consciousness and multicultural awareness. Of growing importance is the need to create a focus on global awareness and cultural sensitivity, we must educate our students to the reality that globalization of business is a fact of life and that its' increasing importance in business and in society will impact them personally. Business educators must convey these lessons with a sense of urgency. The future is now and we must broaden accounting education so that our graduates can help lead the economy of this country as we compete beyond our local, state, and national borders. To accomplish these objectives we as educators must take a personal interest in out students' entire professional life. We must be available to serve as role models, mentors, and advocates for our students. We must create programs and connections that will place our students into the broader world. If you strive to create leaders for the future of accounting and business you can no longer simply stay in the classroom and teach your students the technical elements of accounting. We must commit to travel with students for extended periods to introduce them to the broader world, local, regional, national and beyond to the international business community."

I continued on with my education and earned a Ph.D. and started teaching at Millsaps in 1989. I love the classroom and teaching, particularly here at Millsaps.
"In my finance classes we talk about a host of interesting topics such as: MONEY, personal investment, interest rates, the stock market, the bond market, and dividend policy. OK, OK, maybe most of these topics do not sound very interesting, but MONEY is interesting.
"I also do a good bit of consulting in the area of litigation support. Like the classroom, I like testifying in court as an expert witness. Sometimes it is nerve-racking, and I must be on my toes at all times, but the excitement of the competitive nature of the courtroom is very exciting."

Students often approach accounting with the misguided ideas that 1) the practice of accounting is just a good way to get a job, and 2) in accounting there is always a single best answer for any problem. Instead I get to introduce students to a profession dedicated to serving the public interest above its own and a complex, intricate system that challenges them to solve problems, communicate complicated ideas and behave ethically in situations where the 'right thing to do' may be hard to identify.
Anyone who has ever completed Intermediate Accounting can tell you that learning the rules of accounting is serious work. But, being a skilled technician is not the end goal – I want students to make learned and thoughtful contributions to the business and nonprofit communities they serve. To do so, they must certainly understand the rules, but they also need to comprehend the politics involved in making accounting or auditing policy, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of current accounting guidance and practice the interpersonal skills required of a successful accountant. So, in my classes, it's not uncommon for students to role-play the needs of various financial statement users as difficult information is communicated. They play games like Monopoly or Bingo to demonstrate the ambiguities of accounting guidance. Sometimes they are asked to navigate their way through a real example of fraud or accounting failure to obtain a better outcome. These activities take students beyond 'debit-left, credit-right' and help them see the discipline as something more than a way to a steady job and develop a keen sense of commitment to using accounting to serve the public interest.

Productivity: The biggest challenge facing the construction industry?
The Midlands Construction Summit is set to return to the National Conference Centre, Birmingham on 14 November 2017.
The Summit will be tackling issues around the future of the UK construction industry whilst focusing on three intrinsically linked key themes: People, Productivity and Pipelines. The conference programme will be tackling these key themes and exploring how the industry can approach and resolve these pressing problems through the experience and learnings from the prominent speaker line-up.
By facilitating knowledge exchange and networking with influential regional construction leaders, the Summit provides a platform to strengthen improvements throughout the industry, whilst also creating an opportunity to acquire crucial information from industry experts on how they have overcome key issues, including productivity, through process and product innovation.
Productivity is a festering problem for the construction industry, having been branded a 'thorn in the side' of the sector by the Chartered Institute of Building in their recent Productivity in Construction report. Over the past five years the UK has achieved high levels of employment after the grips of the recession, but has been unable to tackle the matter of productivity, which is a concerning issue for the industry and its growth.
The CIOB have most recently reported that a much broader view of what the industry is trying to achieve is needed in order to increase construction productivity. But most importantly in order to achieve this, the industry needs to rethink and address fundamentals that motivate people and businesses within the sector. These issues will be addressed at the Midlands Construction Summit.
Productivity problems have been recognised for decades, which suggests that the main issues lie deep within the industry. However, although it is important to improve efficiency within the construction industry, there is little to be gained from driving up construction productivity if it means compromising the effectiveness of the buildings and infrastructure that are created.
The CIOB report concludes that in order to remove barriers holding back productivity growth, a holistic approach is needed that focuses on more than 'constructing more productively' but embraces a wider efficiency benefits that stem from a better 'fit-for-purpose' built environment. The report argues that new business models are needed which intrinsically provide incentives for the firms which improve efficiency through creating greater value.
Taking place on 14 November 2017 at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham, this combined conference and exhibition will guide and help the Midlands built environment sector to define their route map for grasping the strategic opportunities in a lively and structured way, allowing for plenty of input from industry leaders and their suppliers coalescing around a range of key themes. Tickets cost £95 + vat and include entry into the conference and exhibition, parking, refreshments and lunch - to find our more or to secure your place at the Midlands Construction Summit go to: www.midlandsconstructionsummit.co.uk

Introducing 4-L Ministries
4-L Ministries is the name under which Leroy Seat, Ph.D., conducts his public activities. After serving for thirty-eight years as a Baptist missionary in Japan, Leroy and June Seat returned to the United States and now live in Liberty, MO. They can be contacted in the following ways: mailing address: 1307 Canterbury Lane, Liberty, MO 64068; telephone: 816-841-9586; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com.
The 4-L name comes from Life, Love, Light, and Liberty, the four words Dr. Seat emphasized when he was chancellor of Seinan Gakuin from 1996-2004.
As a part of his ministry, in July 2009 Dr. Seat began a blog with the name "The View from This Seat." It can be accessed by using the following URL address:
The 4-L Ministries include Dr. Seat's teaching, speaking, writing, and supporting activities. Page three will give more information about these ministries in general and page four tells about his books "Fed Up with Fundamentalism" (2007) and "The Limits of Liberalism" (2010).
A major aspect of the supporting ministry is connected with the Seinan Gakuin 4-L Foundation, introduced below and on page two.
Seinan Gakuin 4-L Foundation
The Seinan Gakuin 4-L Foundation was established in 2004 to support Seinan Gakuin, a Christian school complex in Fukuoka City, Japan.
Specifically, the 4-L Foundation seeks to help Seinan Gakuin fulfill its mission through supporting and enhancing the presence and witness of Christian teachers and other Christian workers at Seinan Gakuin.
The following page will give more detailed information about the Seinan Gakuin 4-L Foundation.

As a former figure skater, Terry Perrotta had always been active and healthy, so she became concerned when at the age of 44, she felt completely out of breath merely from walking up the stairs. Her doctor blamed it on being overweight, but losing weight didn't help.
Two years later, in 2006, Perrotta, a divorced mother of two teenagers who lives in Rhode Island, saw a pulmonologist, who diagnosed her with pulmonary hypertension, which causes narrowing in the pulmonary veins and swelling of the lungs.
Over the next few years, her condition deteriorated. She needed oxygen devices to help her push enough oxygen into her system; she endured medications, which caused painful side effects, and she had heart surgery because her heart was weakening from the lack of oxygen.
"It got to the point where I couldn't cook, go to the market, couldn't even have a conversation without getting out of breath," Perrotta said.
On a whim in 2012, Perrotta decided to see another specialist, who almost immediately diagnosed her with a rare form of pulmonary hypertension called PVOD (pulmonary veno-occlusive disease). He told her she needed to get on an active lung transplant list immediately, or else she would die.
She made an appointment to meet the transplant surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic, a center known for complicated lung transplants—she would need a double. About 50 centers in the country perform lung transplants, which became more common in the mid 1980s.
Though the surgical techniques have been perfected and most people survive the operation, there's a 54 percent five-year survival rate.
"We have not perfected the management," said Dr. Marie Budev, the medical director of Cleveland Clinic's lung transplant program. The key issue is that lungs are bombarded with foreign matter, which excites the immune system. But patients take immunosuppressant drugs to prevent them from rejecting the organ.
"Patients often die of complications that lead to organ rejection," Budev said.
Perrotta's ex-husband, John, drove her to Cleveland (she was too sick to fly) to meet with Budev and get on the transplant list, but upon their return to Rhode Island, Perrotta took a turn for the worse.
"I woke up and couldn't breathe and told John to call 911," she said.
Cheating death
That's about the last thing she remembered until after she woke up—back at the Cleveland Clinic, with a new set of lungs.
How she got to the Cleveland Clinic and the number of times she cheated death were stories she would hear as she was recovering. At the hospital in Rhode Island, she had slipped into a coma. Budev sent a transport team to retrieve her, but because her oxygen levels were so low, they couldn't stabilize her enough to fly, so the team flew home without her.
"My children were devastated because that was my last hope," she said. But her story has many last hopes. She was put on a form of life support called ECMO, which works like a cardiac and respiratory form of bypass, and would allow her organs to rest and recover. She was given a 2 percent chance of surviving the surgery to connect her to the machine, but she made it through.
"Terry is a dedicated, determined and stubborn person, with a will to live like no one I've ever seen," said her best friend Brenda Rappoport.
Budev sent another plane, and the team transported her with the ECMO to Cleveland. By the time she arrived, the ECMO site was bleeding profusely and she needed surgery to repair it.
They told her ex-husband that she probably wasn't going to make it. "They said I was the sickest person in the ICU and would need a miracle," Perrotta said. She got one. On the seventh night she was in the hospital, with her body weakening daily, her family got the call. The hospital had lungs — and they were a match. The surgery was six-hours long, but it was a success.
Though the doctors predicted her recovery would take a month, she was out of the ICU in five days.
"She was young, she was viable, she was extremely healthy from every other standpoint," Budev said, explaining why they proceeded with the surgery despite the risks. That vitality proved critical to her recovery.
'I wouldn't have made it without him'
The lack of oxygen to her body made her muscles incredibly weak, and it took a while for her to walk again. But within two months, she was back in Rhode Island, with her new lungs, a recovering heart, and the ability to breathe the fresh air again.
Her ex-husband, who was with her every step of the way, moved back home.
"Let's just say he redeemed himself," Perrotta said. "I wouldn't have made it without him." As to the scary success rates of lung transplants, she says, "I don't think about it. I feel great, and that's all I focus on."
Her husband, a comedian, is hosting a benefit on May 23 in Rhode Island, to help cover her medical costs. Click for more information.

Roslyn Tripp was about to go into a West Side convenience store before spending Friday night with her cousin.
But the outing was tragically interrupted about 8:30 p.m. when a gunman near their parked car on West Ferdinand Street and North Laramie Avenue apparently opened fire on a passing motorcyclist.
Tripp, 23, was sitting in the passenger's seat of her cousin's parked car on the Austin street when she was struck in the head by one of the bullets, according to her cousin, Shanell Tripp. "We heard bullets and we all got down," said Shanell. "We looked up. She was [unresponsive] on the passenger's side."

Vegans also fit into this group, though their non-animal prohibitions extend to all areas of their life to include clothing. Others include Lacto (dairy is OK), Lacto-ovo (dairy and eggs), Pesco (fish) and Pollo (poultry). If you follow a vegetarian lifestyle, you know which of these you are.

Network Solutions was PCI compliant before breach
Web hosting firm Network Solutions on Friday announced that, despite its being PCI compliant, a breach had compromised approximately 573,928 individuals' credit card information.
Network Solutions discovered unauthorized code on its servers used to support thousands of e-commence merchants' websites, Susan Wade, director of communications at Network Solutions told SCMagazineUS.com on Monday. The company determined that the unauthorized code may have been used by cybercriminals to capture transaction data, including customer names, addresses, and credit card numbers, and transfer it to servers outside of the company, she said.
Approximately 4,343 e-commerce websites were affected by the breach. Network Solutions could not disclose which merchants were affected but said the victimized merchants sell a wide variety of merchandize and are primarily small businesses. The breach occurred from March 12 to June 8 and the issue has since been mitigated, Network Solutions said.
"We feel deeply sorry about this; we know it is very concerning to our e-commerce customers," Wade said.
Wade added that Network Solutions is compliant with the Payment Card Industries (PCI) Data Security Standards and its last PCI assessment was on Oct. 31, 2008.
Network Solutions is working with law enforcement and a third-party data forensics company to investigate the breach, but as yet does not have an explanation of what made the company vulnerable, Wade said. In addition, the company has implemented additional security measures since the breach but has not provided any specifics.
"Until a forensics investigation is completed, an organization cannot comment accurately on its compliance status," Bob Russo, general manager of the PCI Security Standards Council told SCMagazineUS.com in an email Monday.
A website has been established to provide information about the breach to e-commerce merchants, and Network Solutions will be helping merchants notify customers whose information was compromised. Notifications to affected customers will be going out in the next few days, the company said. In addition, affected individuals will be offered 12 months free credit monitoring at Network Solutions' expense.
No reports of misused credit card account information associated with the breach have been filed, Network Solutions said in a statement.
Russo added that this breach "...underscores the necessity for ongoing vigilance of an organization's security measures."
He said that since card data is under constant threat, security monitoring and logging cannot stop when an organization is deemed PCI compliant.
"A layered approach to security is absolutely necessary to protect sensitive payment card data -- without ongoing vigilance or a comprehensive security strategy, organizations may be just a control change away from noncompliance," Russo said.
In addition, Russo said that an intrusion will not necessarily result in card data compromise if an organization is following PCI requirements.
In response to news of the breach, Steve Moyle, CTO and founder of database security company Secerno, told SCMagazineUS.com in an email on Saturday that people are probably questioning how this breach could have happened and continued for so long, especially after the Heartland breach clearly illustrated the consequences.
Moyle said that many enterprises are behind in security protection efforts such as anti-virus updates due to shrinking IT budgets, which results in unpatched vulnerabilities that are easily exploited.
In addition, Amichai Shulman, CTO of database and application security company Imperva, told SCMagazineUS.com in an email Monday that the incident illustrates the risks of cloud computing.
"This incident points out the basic problem of cloud computing: With many more companies hosting their data on the internet, the databases and the servers they are hosted on become phenomenally attractive," Shulman said.
"The attackers here aimed at the big prize -- the servers. Instead of dealing with a website here and there, once the hackers broke in, all the sites were open to them," he added. "The lesson: Once you've penetrated the cloud, you've got an easy path to the important, underlying data."

(Corrects lead to show Woehrl wants Air Berlin to become a charter carrier, not an aircraft leasing company)
FRANKFURT, Aug 31 (Reuters) - German aviation investor Hans Rudolf Woehrl wants to tie up with another bidder, preferably Lufthansa to buy up insolvent airline Air Berlin and turn it into a charter carrier, his firm Intro said.
"Unfortunately the answer he has received (from Lufthansa) is that it currently does not want to hold talks for legal reasons," Intro said in a statement on Thursday. (Reporting by Maria Sheahan; Editing by Arno Schuetze)

Art Project Shows Not All Hope Is Lost In Times Of War And Despair
When words fail, art speaks.
As of August 26, the Israel-Gaza conflict has reached a long-term ceasefire. The agreement puts and end to 50 days of fighting which, according to UN"s estimates, have killed 2,101 Palestinians and 67 Israelis.
The conflict has been estimated that the reconstruction of Gaza will take 20 years and could cost more than $6 billion. Throughout the chaos, an ongoing arts initiative Mir Yam was started by a group of Palestinian artists.Mir Yam/Facebook
Mir Yam aims to draw people"s attention to the atrocities of war and its irreversible aftermath. By imposing fairy tale-like illustrations into shots of everyday life in Gaza, it creates a jarring contrast between life and death, dream, and reality. As one of the project members Haneen Nazzal told A+, there was a point when the horrific images of violence in Gaza became a norm to the rest of the world – it was their goal to remind them:
"People got used to it and they no longer moved them. Mir Yam takes the world beyond the image of death. It shows the world how much the Palestinians are willing to live despite the death surrounding them," said Nazzal.Mir Yam/Facebook
Mir Yam Palestinians Teach Life was inspired by a poem written by Refeef Ziadah, Palestinian-Canadian human rights activist. The poem argues with the notion that Palestinians teach their children hatred. Ziadah states Palestinians teach life, by simply waking up every morning and dealing with their mundane brutality.
The first part of the collection was titled Eid in Gaza, Eid al-Fitr being a sacred Muslim 3-day holiday when people celebrate the end of Ramaddan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. According to the source, the war in Gaza didn't stop during these days so the set of images is meant to pay tribute to the victims:
"On the first day of Eid, Palestinian kids celebrating and playing joyfully outside were killed. War didn't spare them. Mir Yam, however, drew the image of happiness that was made impossible by Israel's killing machine."Mir Yam/Facebook
When asked to describe the current situation in Gaza, Nazzal told A+ that Gaza is hurting and it will take time to recover. According to her, thousands of families have lost at least one member or have at least one injured. The war has also severely damaged the social infrastructure as schools and universities were often targets of the attack.
Mir Yam project shines light on the destruction and devastation in Gaza, but the altered images bring a tip of faith into the harsh reality of Gaza's residents:Mir Yam/Facebook Mir Yam/Facebook Mir Yam/Facebook Mir Yam/Facebook Mir Yam/Facebook Mir Yam/Facebook Mir Yam/Facebook

BTW, I saw an add for the Mammoth (Lacrosse), $39: 4 tickets, 4 dogs, 4 beers. That is a good deal, $10+ each (tax). This would be a fun thing to do and get beers/drinks afterward, maybe at Old C's (I think the games are at Pepsi Center)

When I began to improvise simple accompaniments on the cello during lessons, I noticed that my cello pupils became more engaged in the process of making music. They were being challenged to react and respond to that second voice and take part in a musical conversation. Not being a pianist, I found that I could create relatively simple accompaniments that provided all of the essential rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic elements contained in the original score in a format that prepares the student for the full accompaniment of a piano later in the learning process.
All students love playing cello duets, and these accompaniments turn the standard student repertoire into cello duets that can be performed in lessons, with their friends in recitals, or just for fun. No piano? No problem!
I hope that you will find them useful, and that your students will enjoy them!
