By Kate Obenshain, Young America's Foundation Vice President
Four years ago, young people—particularly college students—were swept up in a vortex of leftism, intensely embracing a cloaked collectivist ideology.
The Left tailored their message perfectly for young people, appealing to their sense of fairness ("Everybody benefits when you spread the wealth around") and idealism ("Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for too long").
Any conservative opposition, particularly on campuses, was shouted down instantly as the product of racism rather than logical thought. We were witnessing the successful, complete implementation of political correctness in academia through the silencing of young conservative activists and thinkers.

Vision 20/20 strategic planning process reaches major milestone
The Vision 20/20 strategic planning process reached a major milestone this week with the successful completion of a series of Input Forums designed to broaden the conversation about the future of USF St. Petersburg.
Six input forums were held between Monday and Wednesday for students, faculty and staff. A special online forum was also held for distance learning students. Last month, the St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership participated in an Input Forum during its quarterly luncheon, held at the University Student Center Ballroom.
"Through these forums, I've had the pleasure of hearing some very thoughtful conversations about the future of our institution,'' said Regional Chancellor Sophia Wisniewska. "I am excited about the possibilities and pleased at the level of engagement and enthusiastic participation during the forums.''
The ideas generated during the forums will inform the final product of the strategic plan, which will be completed by the end of the 2013-14 academic year. The Vision Team will meet again Feb. 28 and March 1 and will discuss the feedback generated at the Input Forums.
Psychology Professor and Vision Team member V. Mark Durand, who helped lead the Faculty Input Forum, said the plan will help guide the university as it moves forward in the coming years. "I am convinced that the Vision 20/20 process will lead to concrete changes that will make USF St. Petersburg stronger,'' he wrote in a blog post. "I observed a diverse but united group excited to help craft the vision for the institution and identify important next steps to help us be a distinctive educational institution that we can be proud of, one that produces successful students and that in some way makes meaningful contributions to our surrounding community."
Vision 20/20 moves into a new phase beginning next week with the launch of a series of Learning Journeys for members of the Vision Team. The Learning Journeys are designed to be structured experiences that allow Vision Team members to explore key questions at the heart of the strategic planning process. Participants will visit a diverse group of institutions, including C1 Bank, HSN, Midtown St. Petersburg, the University of Tampa and All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Injury claims are a challenge for the entire insurance industry. Not only are they costly and time consuming for everyone involved, but they are also difficult to investigate and even harder to substantiate.
There are two key variables in any injury event – the individual who is injured and the thing that causes the injury. While that may seem obvious and simplistic, each involves varying degrees of complexity. To make sense of the complex issues in any injury scenario, you need an expert who is familiar with both the mechanics of injury and the injury mechanism. A bio-mechanical engineer is uniquely positioned to provide expert insight into both.
Sintra Engineering's injury experts bring an in-depth understanding of the injury investigation process to every case. We understand that our clients need to know if the injury was caused by the incident in question, if the injury was exacerbated by a pre-existing condition, and if it could have been prevented. That's why we focus on providing clients with information that helps them determine liability and move ahead with confidence.
A biomechanical engineering injury assessment focuses on the mechanism and magnitude of the impact forces that were present. More specifically, did a mechanism exist to produce the reported injury and if it did, was there sufficient magnitude to produce the reported symptoms? This type of analysis can be applied to any injury scenario but is commonly applied to injuries resulting from collisions.
When collisions result in bodily injury claims, insurers need to know that the injury is consistent with the forces experienced during the collision. Sintra Engineering's injury and collision experts work together to analyze and evaluate the forces involved in collisions, and determine if those forces could have caused the specified injuries.
Using information derived from collision reconstructions about the speeds of the vehicles and the change in velocity resulting from impact, our injury experts can use that information to determine the extent of injuries that would likely result from these collisions. During our investigations, we pay particular attention to seatbelts and how their use can lessen or prevent injuries altogether. As part of this, we can alert our clients to the merits of a seatbelt defense.
In instances where the injury claim seems improbable or the extent of injury seems unreasonably extensive, a bio-mechanical engineering analysis can help validate the injury potential. Read more about the benefits of a bio-mechanical injury analysis in resolving injury claims...
Injuries can happen anywhere at anytime, but slip, trip and falls are of particular interest to insurers because they often result from property hazards or product malfunctions and can lead to injury claims. Sintra Engineering's injury experts understand the intricacies involved in investigating these types of cases.
We bring a broad range of experience, and a multi-disciplinary approach to every investigation. We look at everything from the design of the property or product, to its condition, maintenance and use. We examine building codes to ensure the building or structure is in compliance with relevant codes, and check for environmental factors such as ice, precipitation or lighting. And we look at products to determine if they were used incorrectly or damaged over time. Our goal is to analyze every possible factor involved in an injury claim, so our clients can identify negligence and determine liability.
A biomechanical engineering assessment can be useful in other injury scenarios, such as evaluating the circumstances surrounding a person who has slipped, tripped or fallen. These investigations often require multi-disciplinary investigations involving our injury and failure experts. Read some of the common questions we are asked to answer when investigating slip, trip or fall incidents...

› Injury Mechanism Evaluation
› Restrained/Unrestrained Occupant Injury Comparisons
› Occupant Dynamics and Kinematics

It's been a circuitous route that Johan Santana has traveled this season, and the next stop will be Savannah, Georgia tonight. There Santana will make his next rehab start for the Mets' Single-A affiliate Sand Gnats as they take on the Augusta Greenjackets in the South Atlantic League playoffs.
Santana joined the Mets while they were in Miami and threw a bullpen on Tuesday under the watchful eyes of manager Terry Collins and pitching coach Dan Warthen. Collins was impressed.
And what, if anything, was different about this bullpen than the one that Collins and his staff observed also in Miami back in late July.
Santana loves to long-toss and really incorporated it as a key part of his rehab coming off shoulder surgery. But sometimes there can be too much of a good thing, as Santana explained what happened after his last rehab start.
It has been almost a year – September 14, 2010 – since Santana had the torn anterior capsule in his pitching shoulder repaired. Because the minor league seasons are rapidly coming to a close, Santana could pitch on the major league level, or possibly the instructional league or even winter ball if necessary. He was asked how he feels about pitching in the majors.
Pitching at the highest level at this stage of the recovery process could also present some distractions – too much adrenaline, the hoopla, the excitement – does Collins feel that Santana might be adversely affected by those factors?
And if Johan didn't pitch at the major league level this season, would that be OK with the manager?
Catcher Josh Thole, who's caught Santana and knows him well, saw him up close and personal on Tuesday in Florida.
If everything goes well on Friday night, and all involved are confident it will, Santana has a lot of options at his disposal.
His pitching coach, Warthen, believes in the old adage that the more you can find out about your situation, while still being sensible, the better off you will be.
And his manager, Collins, believes that when healthy, Santana can and will be an ace once again.
If anyone can re-invent himself as a No. 1, it's probably No. 57. How he feels tonight and tomorrow may go a long way towards determining that.
Will Santana return to form and anchor the Mets' rotation in 2012? Sound off in the comments below…

Love Spoons
Traditionally, lovespoons were wooden spoons handcrafted by suitors to give to their love interests. Have your kid make his own version of these love spoons for friends and family to show how much he cares. He can slip the finished handiwork onto the handle of the spoon in Dad's coffee cup or Big Sister's cereal bowl for a super sweet start to Valentine's Day.
What You Need:
- Craft foam
- Scissors
- Craft glue
- White dimensional paint such as puff paint
What You Do:
- Help your child cut out two matching hearts. They need to be big enough that when they're glued together you can slip them over the handle of a spoon. Between 1 ½ inches and 2 inches tall and wide will work well.
- Show him how to run a bead of craft glue around the upper sides and top of one heart. Don't put any glue near the bottom of the heart — remember, you are making an envelope to slip the heart over the handle of a spoon.
- Have him lay a second heart on top of the first one and let the glue dry.
- Let him use some paint to decorate the top heart. Tell him he can outline the heart with dots, a dashed line or solid line. In the center of the heart, include a smaller heart. Don't decorate with glitter or it might end up in someone's food!
- Once the paint has dried, help him make plans to deliver these special gifts on Valentine's Day morning.
If your family is hosting a special Valentine's Day event, use these as place markers at the table. Make hearts that have peoples' initials on them. Use them to embellish a spoon in a cup of hot chocolate, add a dose of love to an ice cream sundae, or make a piece of cake even more scrumptious.

CCTV began considering English-language international news programming on 1 January 1980, at the start of China's "Reform and opening up" period. English news bulletins began on CCTV-2 in 1986 and became available to overseas viewers when they moved to CCTV-4 in February 1991. CCTV-9 began broadcasting across China on 25 September 2000, becoming the country's first all-English television station.
On 1 January 2003, CCTV-9 entered the United States cable market, as part of a deal that allowed AOL, Time Warner, and News Corporation access to cable systems in Guangdong. In its early years, CCTV-9 broadcast English language news bulletins and cultural interest shows for most of each day, and aired mostly reruns during the overnight hours in China. One of its biggest projects was covering the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Until April 2010, CCTV-9 was a mixed general interest channel featuring news, travel programming, and language training. But on the 26th of that month, CCTV-9 was relaunched as a 24-hour English-language news service, and its name was changed to "CCTV News."[2]
On 31 December 2016 at midday Beijing time, the channel was relaunched as CGTN (China Global Television Network), and new programs debuted.
The channel name of CCTV-9 was changed to CCTV News at 7 pm (Beijing Time) on 26 April 2010.[3] Some shows were rebranded while other new programs were added. The English website is managed by China Network Television (CNTV), a web streaming service of CCTV. On 1 January 2011, the channel's former name CCTV-9 was taken over by CCTV's two documentary channels.
With new faces, new studios, and new equipment, the channel's upper managers said they hoped to strengthen the network's news gathering abilities, while aiming to present more perspectives from throughout China, and across Asia, to the rest of the world.[4] The next steps in this process included hiring additional foreign correspondents and setting up a number of international bureaus.
On 6 February 2012, the channel launched "CCTV America" and a schedule of daily programming originating from a production center in Washington, D.C.[5] On 11 October 2012, CCTV News launched its Africa operation in Nairobi, Kenya.[6] CCTV News currently has three broadcast centers—Beijing (main), Nairobi, and Washington—with 70 additional bureaus across the globe.
The revamp also saw the permanent addition of news and world financial markets tickers, similar to those seen on leading news channels, although these features had already been used intermittently in the previous decade.

CGTN usually airs a live news bulletin in the first half of each hour. As well as a generic news program, there are specialist bulletins focusing on Chinese and Asian news, such as China 24 and business news BIZ ASIA. Programming in the second half of each hour includes, sports bulletins, a travel show called Travelogue which takes viewers to destinations around China and the world, and magazines covering the arts, science and sports.
The programs on CGTN include News Update and News Hour, providing comprehensive global coverage; and China 24 and Asia Today, delivering the latest domestic and regional developments. Specialized programs include Biz Asia, Biz Talk, New Money, Culture Express and Sports Scene, providing news and information on business, finance, economics, culture, and sports. Shows such as Dialogue and World Insight extend balanced and critical perspectives on current affairs affecting all corners of the globe.
CGTN also provides programs on culture, history, and modern society of China and Asia. In Crossover, hosts and guests of various backgrounds and experiences talk about issues throughout China. Travelogue is the ticket to dynamic and exciting landscapes in China and abroad. Rediscovering China explores contemporary Chinese and Asian culture and social changes through the eyes of international visitors. And Story Board delivers a visual profile of all Asian countries.

The Chinese staff members at CGTN English range in experience from interns to media professionals with years in the business. Executive producers, producers and senior news anchors typically have higher education, often from universities in other countries. By 2007, the channel had about 300 staff members, of whom 70 were full-time with about 30 foreigners on contract. Ahead of the channel's 2010 relaunch, it began to hire foreign correspondents based in countries around the world, and in 2011 CCTV News started to hire English-speaking Chinese reporters based in 30 provincial bureaus across China.
Foreign news anchorsEdit
In addition to Chinese anchors, CGTN employs foreigners as news presenters, some of whom have extensive experience, such as Edwin Maher (a former newsreader and weatherman from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation), while others may be recent university graduates just embarking upon their careers.
Former comptroller Jiang Heping defended the policy of putting foreigners on air, arguing that "we feel international on-air personalities boost the credibility of CGTN and befit its image as an international channel. In this regard, CGTN will not restrict the origin of its employees and choose to build its unique identity through its programming."[7]
The first foreign news anchor on what was then known as CCTV-9 was Chris Gelken, who joined the channel from Hong Kong's TVB and presented the 30-minute business show, BizChina. Gelken left CCTV News in 2005, and returned to TVB from 2010 to 2013.
Another prominent personality in CCTV-9's first decade was Mark Rowswell, otherwise known as Dashan. He hosted Travel in Chinese on CCTV News and has been honored for his work in promoting cancer awareness in China.[8]
In addition to those individuals, the channel later recruited Phillip Yin of Bloomberg Television, and Mike Walter from USA Today, to helm Biz Asia America and The Heat, respectively, when the Washington bureau opened in 2012.
The weather on CGTN is hosted by a rotating cast of presenters, so the staff changes on a frequent basis, partially because these updates are produced by an outside company which supplies content for several English-language media outlets around China.
CGTN AfricaEdit
CCTV Africa is China Central Television´s news productions center which was launched in Kenya on 11 January 2012. CGTN Africa focuses on African news and perspectives as well as international news.
CGTN Africa is responsible for newsgathering and task assignments on the African continent. CGTN Africa initially produce a one-hour program every day, including Africa news, Talk Africa and Face of Africa editions, and broadcast through CGTN´s English news channel.
CGTN AmericaEdit
CGTN America is the Americas division of CGTN the English-language news channel run by Chinese state broadcaster China Central Television. It is based in Washington, DC and runs bureaus across North and South America. The service employs a mix of American and Chinese journalists and produces Americas-based programming for CGTN and CCTV.
CGTN America is led by director general Ma Jing with veteran Asia journalist Jim Laurie as executive consultant. It began broadcasting on 6 February 2012.

In 2010, when the CCTV-NEWS because of its diversity in the global flow of information and broader vision won the 2010 Hot Bird TV award, the national window Award.[11]
The channel's Washington, DC based broadcast center, CGTN America, has won a News & Documentary Emmy for Jen Bricker: When Can't is a Four-Letter Word, and has also won multiple New York Festivals medals and White House News Photographers Association awards.

Despite its revamp launching of CCTV America, critics have voiced concerns over the level of self-censorship exercised by the channel, especially on sensitive domestic issues in China. Philip Cunningham of Cornell University, who has appeared more than 100 times on China Central Television talk shows said sensitive issues such as Tibet and Xinjiang were heavily edited on various programs.[12]
Ma Jing, Director of CCTV America defends such allegation by saying that the channel edits stories the same way other news organizations do. She said: "We uphold the traditional journalistic values. We consider accuracy, objectivity, truthfulness, and public accountability very important, more important than anything else."[12]

TalkTalk has estimated that last month's cyber-attack will cost the company £35m and has announced that customers can apply for a free upgrade to their service.
The Internet service provider said it was offering the upgrades in 'recognition of the unavoidable uncertainty' that customers faced after hackers obtained their personal data.
Although it was initially feared that 1.2 million customer details were stolen, after extensive investigation, TalkTalk concluded that 156,959 customers had had their personal data compromised and only 15,656 bank account numbers had been taken.
Chief executive Dido Harding said: "TalkTalk takes the security of customers' data extremely seriously and we are taking significant further steps to ensure our systems are protected, as well as writing to all our customers outlining what we are doing to keep their data safe.
"In recognition of the unavoidable uncertainty, and because we know that doing what is right for our customers will ensure the best possible outcome for the company over the longer term, we are today announcing the offer of a choice of free upgraded services to all our customers.
"Over the course of the last three years we've spent a third more on security and I can absolutely guarantee that going forward we will spend much more again."
TalkTalk confirmed all its customers, not just those affected by the hack, will be able to select an upgrade from December 1.
Although the company believes it is too early to assess the wider impact of the cyber-attack on the business, the estimated one-off financial cost of £35m included the loss of online sales and services.
The firm said last month it will only waive termination fees for customers wanting to end their contracts if money is stolen from them.
In recent weeks, three teenage boys and a 20-year-old man have been arrested by the police in connection with the data theft. The company has hired BAE Systems to investigate the incident.
A parliamentary committee is conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the breach and the wider implications for the security of personal information online. The House of Commons culture, media and sport committee will start taking evidence later this month.
Shares in TalkTalk plunged in the wake of the hack, but have since bounced back by as much as 12 per cent after the company's reassurances.

Would you like confidence so strong that you radiate the same poise and charisma that empower great speakers, executives, athletes, and performers such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Muhammad Ali, and Oprah Winfrey?
Dr Sullivan's revolutionary self-confidence approach shows that you can't build confidence – but you can effortlessly release your inborn, biological confidence – the same confidence that made our ancestors believe they could face wild beasts, armed only with sharpened sticks.
Your instinctive confidence is much more than our traditional concepts of self-esteem or charisma. It's like hunger: so deeply and permanently part of our nature that it's undamaged even by lifelong neglect, failure, or criticism.

My areas of teaching interest include American literature and cultural studies, transatlantic modernism, feminist and queer studies, critical animal studies, and critical prison studies. A commitment to historicization informs my teaching priorities, and so that students might become better readers of historical processes, I also centrally aim to help students become better readers of the material forms of language. My emphasis on the workings of representation in all my classes betrays my own disciplinary training, but interdisciplinary is as integral to my teaching philosophy as my scholarly pursuits. Thus I frequently highlight how disciplinary assumptions and methods can both enable and limit knowledge production, and further, how interdisciplinary thinking can increase the yields of intellectual inquiry. Most importantly, I push students to query the politics of their assumptions and realize the stakes of their intellectual work, as I hope that when students learn in the classroom, they discover new intellectual passions and political commitments that do not end in the classroom.
BIS 393 The Politics of Imprisonment
BIS 341 Critical Animal Studies
My current research projects focuses on the interrelationships between emergences in human-animal relationships and transformations in U.S. racial formation over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. My research questions sit at the intersection of critical animal studies and feminist, queer, and critical race studies, as I am centrally concerned with how cultural ideas of animality are deployed in the representation of human difference, and further, how actual animals are instrumental to and impacted by human cultural politics. This interest in the "question of the animal" has informed my interest in contemporary politics of imprisonment in the U.S., and vice versa, as contemporary discourses of criminalization often rely upon the figure of the animal for their power and durability. I am currently planning a second project on queer posthumanism, i.e., cultural production that redeploys the animalization of non-normative sexuality to advance a critique of anthropocentrism. This project expands my earlier work beyond the question of the animal to explore multiple areas of posthumanist inquiry, while it attends more centrally to forms of cultural resistance and ranges far into the post-war period.

Good article share
If you are Internet Marketing, there can be a lot of valuable information that you, might read and would like to go back to later.
A great example is here.
As I marketed I would get bundles of notes from articles, videos, blogs, etc on how to better improve myself. I still have these notes till this day.
I've created folders to where I can easily access these notes is I ever need to give advice, or just refresh my memory on the advice that has helped me develop income over the past few years online.
I've also been able to organize over 3000 leads in Windows Contacts as well as just saved emails only that I harvested using a very powerful lead extracting software.
All in all, what I'm trying to say, is that information is valuable, but just like anything else, it can get cluttered. This is why I highly recommend staying organized, and know where your documents are. Know where your information is, and study up on as time goes by. So not only are you organizing your computer, you are also organizing your mind.

I am looking for 2 year full time MBA programs form from one of the reputed college of Pune but i have there are many other colleges offering the PGDM programs in various subject. So now i am little bit confuse between PGDM and MBA Programs. Please help me to find the suitable one for me.
12/16/2016 at 12:00 am #5522avipsitadasMemberRank: Top MBA Colleges in New Zealand
First of all, you have to look at the difference between PGDM and MBA. You need to weigh out the pros and cons of each. A PGDM is a to some extent a diploma, which means it is a course. I hope you are aware that a Diploma is not the same as a Degree. Most Institutes offer PGDM courses as they are autonomous colleges. But now when you come to think of it a lot of accreditation is needed for it. However, if you go for MBA it would be a better choice.
MBA is, of course, a 2-year management course with a degree that is recognised by almost any foreign or Indian institute so it much better if you pick MBA over PGDM.Not necessarily that a PGDM is equal to MBA because if PGDM is to be equivalent to MBA then the college offering the PGDM course must have accreditation from AIU (The Association of Indian Universities).
12/16/2016 at 12:00 am #5588Shraddha GoelMemberRank: I am little worried about my admissions in IIT. What are the other options suppose if I don't make it ?
In terms of affordability, an MBA is more affordable than a PGDM, generally, because the fee structure of MBAs in various institutes/colleges are determined uniformally by the University they are affiliated to. Whereas those offering PGDM are autonomous units and fix their own fee structure.
01/03/2017 at 12:00 am #6610Olivia DasMemberRank: Is Interior Designing a Good Career Option
PGDM : Post Graduate Diploma in Management
MBA – Master of Business Administration.
If you have a MBA degree you can proudly proclaim that you are a post graduate but in case of PGDM you are a diploma holder in a post graduate course.Otherwise, PGDM is equivalent to MBA.
The advantage of a MBA degree over PGDM are :
1. You can opt for govt jobs mainly PSU where MBA degree is required
2. You can do a PhD if you have MBA degree
How does MBA or PGDM Impact your career?
Indian Context
In purely an Indian context, there is NO DIFFERENCE when it comes to how the industry treats PGDM and MBA graduate. If you see, 9 out of top 10 B Schools in India offer PGDM / PGP and not MBA. This is the testimony to the fact that there is no difference between the two in India.
Career growth is same in both.
Global Context
Let us divide the analysis in Global context in two parts: Jobs perspective and Higher Education (like PhD or double MBA) perspective.
From job perspective, there is no difference even in global arena, especially if you are coming from a reputed B School of India.
From the perspective of Higher Education; yes there is a difference and having an MBA degree helps you a bit more as compared to having a Diploma (PGDM / PGP). Though, the difference is minuscule of just a point or two when it comes to the evaluation of your application form for higher education as MBA gets you marked against Masters Degree while PGDM/PGP gets you marked against Masters-Diploma.
So, if you are not looking for higher studies, then whether you have MBA or PGDM doesn't matter. What matters is you are coming from which college, its industry perception and similar aspects.
Examples of PGDM/PGP Institutes in India are- IIMs ,XLRI, SP Jain, NMIMS (Banglore/Hyderabad) etc.
Examples of MBA colleges in India are- IIFT , JBIMS , FMS ,NMIMS(Mumbai)SIBM (Pune), IITs etc.
P.S.- MBA is cheaper and more affordable than PGDM. But choose the one which suits your needs (further studies in abroad or job in India/abroad)!

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Loyola Marymount junior Kimberly Benedetti has been named the Western Water Polo Association Women's Player of the Year while Santa Clara freshman Claire Eadington has been named Newcomer of the Year in the WWPA's annual end of the season awards. It marks the first time in school history that an SCU player has earned the honor.
Santa Clara - seeded third in the upcoming WWPA Championships - also saw seniors Taylor Harkins (First Team) and Caitlin Espe (Second Team), along with junior Laura Espinosa (Honorable Mention), named among the league's best.
All told 27 student-athletes were honored for their performance in the pool this 2011 season.
Thanks to the Lions third straight No. 1 seed in the tournament and a perfect 11-0 record against WWPA foes, second-year Head Coach Kyle Witt has been named WWPA Coach of the Year. The Lions are 22-0 under Witt against the WWPA heading into the first round of the championships, which starts Friday at Cal State East Bay.
Benedetti led a balanced Lions' attack that has the Lions on a 35-game winning streak in the WWPA. She was tied for the team lead with 54 goals and ranks second all-time in LMU history with 83 kickouts drawn this season. In three seasons, she is ranked sixth all-time with 149 career goals. As for Eadington, it was a banner season for the true freshman, as she is second on the team in goals with 42, led the team in assists with 38 and second in steals with 36.
In addition to the Player of the Year honor for Benedetti, she earned first-team All-WWPA for the first time in her career. She wasn't the only one, as the entire first-team is new to the list. Making the move from second-team a year ago is junior Casey Flacks from LMU and Cal State East Bay sophomore Claire Pierce. Joining them is senior Hanalei Crowell of UC San Diego, senior Taylor Harkins of Santa Clara, senior Ali Pavlik of Colorado State and Cal State Bakersfield sophomore goalie Megan Pezzolla, who was an honorable mention a year ago.
Second-team All-WWPA went to junior Kirsten Bates of UC San Diego, sophomore Jessica Browning of Cal State Bakersfield, senior goalie Bryanna Burns of Cal State San Bernardino, senior Caitlin Espe of Santa Clara, sophomore Erin Manke of LMU, senior Orsi Nadasdy of Colorado State and junior Nikki Smart of Cal State Monterey Bay. Bates was the only player to earn honors last year, claiming second-team in 2010.
Rounding out the 2011 All-Conference team with honorable mention honors were LMU senior Mary Ann Campos, Santa Clara junior Laura Espinosa, Cal State Bakersfield freshman Taylor Hanson, Sonoma State senior Kelsey Lowy, UC San Diego senior Felicia Orozco, Cal State East Bay junior goalie Jayme Pekarske and Cal State San Bernardino sophomore Misty Vu.
Honoring the youth and future of the WWPA is the six-member WWPA All-Freshman team, which was awarded to Melissa Bartow of UC San Diego, Sarah Grunberger of Cal State East Bay, Taylor Hanson of Cal State Bakersfield, Alexandra Honny of LMU, Lauren Porteus of Colorado State and Santa Clara's Eadington.

1886-1975 - Amarillo, Texas
Eck Robertson was one of the most noteworthy fiddlers I have run across, because there is so much incredible history surrounding a man whose fiddling almost transcended the Old-Time style. Eck was an accomplished talent, and played many parts of his tunes in second or third position, a convention much more common to Classical style playing than Old-Time. Eck is also credited with being the first recorded country artist (see below).
We are also fortunate that Eck was around and still in fine fiddling form during the folk revival in the 1960s and 70s. The following article came from the LP liner notes of County 202 - Eck Robertson, Famous Cowboy Fiddler:
Eck Robertson's musical career spanned eight decades. He was an accomplished musician by the turn of the century and entered the ranks of the professional entertainer by 1910. He was easy with a joke, quick to tell a funny story and confident of his ability as a fiddler. He was never content to simply play the old tunes repetitiously; he always experimented and expanded the boundaries of his musical tradition, but he never strayed too far from the core.
Eck, as evidenced by his repertoire and fiddling style, was firmly established within the larger tradition of late 19th century southern fiddling. Although he helped establish what is today called the "Texas style" of fiddling, his musical heritage and influence extended well beyond the southwest.
[The sound sample included here exhibits a mere snippet of Eck's phenomenal mastery of the fiddle.]
Eck Robertson was, first and foremost, one of America's great folk fiddlers. And through his music and his history a great deal can be learned about the folk tradition of fiddle playing, and the historic and cultural matrix within which it flourished.
Eck Robertson is famous as the first person to record a commercial country music record. This he did, in company with fellow fiddler Henry C. Gilliland, on June 30 and July 1,1922, for the Victor Talking Machine Company in their New York studios. Eck and Gilliland, a Civil War veteran from Altus, Oklahoma, after entertaining veterans at the 1922 Old Confederate Soldiers' Reunion in Richmond, Virginia, decided to go to New York for the express purpose of making records. Gilliland, a former justice of the peace, knew an influential lawyer there named Martin W. Littleton. After their first night in New York, the two men stayed with Littleton who provided them with grand tours of the city, including a visit to the Steinway piano factory, a visit Eck remembered fondly forty years later. The image of Gilliland and Eck touring New York, attired respectively in full dress Confederate uniform and flashy western "regalia" (satin fuchsia shirt with pearl studs, wide-brimmed black hat, leather cuffs and pants tucked into high-topped boots) and undoubtedly carrying fiddle cases, would be striking even today.
Just how much influence Littleton exerted to get the two fiddlers an audition for Victor is not known, but Littleton did, on occasion, do legal work for the company. Eck recalled that Littleton's "lawyer" first introduced he and Gilliland to the Victor people and that when he first appeared for an audition, the Victor manager insisted he take out his violin right then and there:
And he did.
Eck and Gilliland recorded "Arkansas Traveler"and "Turkey in the Straw''on June 30th,with Gilliland playing the melody and Eck a high harmony. The next day Eck returned alone, this time recording "Sallie Gooden" and "Ragtime Annie" solo, and two additional tunes accompanied by a studio piano player. Two tunes from these sessions, "Sallie Gooden" and "Arkansas Traveler," were released in April, 1923, thus becoming the first commercial record ever released by a country musician. Eck stayed in New York ten days, finally returning home to Vernon, Texas, full of memories and stories.
It was seven years before Eck recorded again, this time in Dallas with his family band. Most historical accounts about Eck Robertson stop after this as if he and his music ceased to exist beyond 1929. However, such was certainly not the case.
Eck promoted himself heavily as the "World's Famous Cowboy Fiddler, Victor Record and Radio Artist" during this time, and advertised the family band as "A Novelty Musical Program Playing Old Time Melodies, Trick and Stunt Fiddling, Singing and Dancing," and promised, "If You Don't Laugh, We Will Call the Doctor!."
Eck had two special tricks he did while fiddling. One was the "normal" trick fiddling; tossing the fiddle or the bow in the air, catching it and not missing a beat, playing behind the back, fiddling while "laying down on the stage and doing somersets" and so forth. He played the tune "Pop Goes the Weasel" for this performance. His other trick was to make his fiddle talk. On many show flyers he asked the question, "Have you ever heard a fiddle talk?" He remembered:
Eck explained this trick to an incredulous Mike Seeger:
Eck apparently learned this trick from a classical violinist he met during his medicine show travels. The family band disbanded around the beginning of World War II and shortly before Dueron [Eck's son], was killed, Eck and Nettie (who was working at the Pantex ordinance plant in Amarillo) separated. Eck never remarried.
The next two decades, through the 1950s and until his rediscovery by old-time music enthusiasts and folklorists in the early-1960s, were fairly dry years musically for Eck and the family. Eck continued to tune pianos for the Tolzien Music Company in Amarillo, and to repair and rebuild fiddles and other stringed instruments in his home shop. He was occasionally featured as a special guest at the fiddle contests that were sprouting throughout Texas. The brochure advertising the "Hale Center 4th of July Homecoming Celebration with All-American Fiddlers Contest" (ca .1963) proclaims: "The best fiddlers come from the country where folks scratch themselves for entertainment and aren't ashamed of it!" and "There's nothing more American than Fiddle Music." The flyer also features a photo of Eck Robertson with the following caption:
By the 1960s, Eck was relegated to the role of elder statesman, special guest and pioneer recording artist. The family was gone and popular venues for either old-time fiddling or vaudeville style entertainment were scarce. When Mike Seeger, John Cohen and Tracy Schwarz visited Eck in 1963, he was seventy-six years old. The next year he performed at the UCLA Folk Festival, and in 1965 he appeared at the Newport Folk Festival. Even then he was still plenty able to charm an audience with his music and talk.
Eck's last few years were hard on both him and his family. After his house and shop in Amarillo nearly burned to the ground, Eck moved into a rest home. While there, his favorite fiddle, a Steiner he rebuilt, was stolen. He apparently received comfort from just holding a fiddle, because he was never without one, even in his last days. But having his fiddle stolen caused him to take precautions. Doyle Davis remembers:
Beulah [Davis] continues:
And Doyle concludes:
Eck Robertson died February 15,1975 at the age of eighty-eight. Inscribed on his tombstone in Fritch, Texas, is the epitaph "World's Champion Fiddler."
This County CD features Eck's commercial recordings from 1922-1929, including Sallie Gooden, Done Gone, Texas Wagoner, Brilliancy Medley, and more. This is Eck in his prime, and the quality of his fiddling will take your breath away! Comprehensive notes and photos included. Now, if only we can talk County Records into re-releasing Eck's later recordings recorded by Mike Seeger (the aforementioned County LP 202).

I think it looks pretty ok to me. Considering: the Giants didn't gain much of a competitive advantage, they simply replaced a broken system (QB Comms) with one they weren't supposed to, for only a portion of one game, and that the league doesn't think the exercised the only potential advantage the team could have had. "One NFL source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that even though the Giants weren't communicating with Manning within 15 seconds of the play clock ending, they had the "opportunity" to do it."
The Falcons were punished more harshly, and should have been -- affecting in-game play, repeatedly, in ways nobody's allowed to.
I think the Browns were overly punished. I don't get what advantage came from what was happening. Texts? So what. Farmer could have been standing on the sideline saying the same fudge too, right, so, that one seemed like a technicality to me. (Plus, losing their GM might even help the Browns ba-zing)erba wrote:My complaint with Goddell is that he's not very consistent. I also look at the way they handled the Josh Brown situation. Remember when the league wasn't going to stand for domestic violence? They were going to hand out hard suspensions? They gave him one game.
I agree that punishments don't seem consistent. It would be nice if there was a schedule of violations and punishments, but, there are too many variables. And as far as individuals go the players signed off on Goodell being a dictator, and remember Goodell's only job is to be the owners' stooge, so, this is what they get.
Brown should have had more games -- but it was for an incident a year old that people just found out about. And it doesn't appear as if he's even been charged with a crime, right (I googled some)? That makes him an equal piece of garbage but it's less of an offense against football, if that means anything.
Here's the difference: Goodell wants to put the best product possible on the field and maintain the league's image, because those things lead to profitability. So cheating -- and drugs is in this bucket because of what PEDs did to baseball -- gets slapped hard as hell, whereas even subhuman shitpiles like Greg Hardy get to keep playing because they're starters. Fair? No. Moral? No. But Goodell is the hired gun of the NFL money, so, his decisions are based on what's best for the money. And knowing that -- that's why he'd never put a target on Kraft or Brady's back unless he felt he had to for the greater good: they're too valuable, necessary, and marketable. But in all the cases where the Pats got slapped, he felt there was enough potential to scar the league that a slight black mark against their golden boy and favorite franchise was an acceptable loss. Because the alternative is millions thinking the game is rigged or that Super Bowls were tainted, and not spending their money with the NFL.
I agree with you on the Browns. They were hit too hard (I thought the Chiefs were too).
As far as Brown, he wasn't charged because his wife wouldn't talk. The NFL was aware of some issues though. A report had NFL and hotel security moving his wife to a different hotel during the pro bowl because he was basically trying to beat her door down. If they tried to move her then to for safety, they should have started looking into things then.

Popular games for a baby's first year are "Peek-A-Boo" and "Where's Baby's Nose?" It is important to remember that a baby needs games that are simple and stimulating. Do not make play time overly complicated and be sure to pay attention to the baby's cues saying he's done.Continue Reading
"Peek-A-Boo" is one of the best games for infants and young toddlers. This game reassures the baby that the person hiding will always come back, easing separation anxieties. To play, hide your face behind your hands and then move them away while you say "Peek-A-Boo."
Playing "Where's Baby's Nose?" helps to build language skills and body part recognition. To play, ask baby "Where's your" and fill in a body part. Then, very excitedly exclaim "There it is!" while pointing to or tickling the body part. Use a sing-song or high pitch tone to encourage the baby to engage.Learn more about New Baby

5,000 champion Kramer to skip 1,500 meters
SOCHI, Russia (AP) Speedskater Sven Kramer has decided to withdraw from the 1,500 meters next Saturday to fully concentrate on the 10,000 for his second gold of the games.
Kramer won the 5,000 and is a hot favorite to win the long distance race and lead the Netherlands to gold in the team pursuit during the concluding weekend.
He said Wednesday that the 1,500 would likely be too much of a distraction during his preparation for the 10,000 on Feb. 18, which he is determined to win after a costly blunder at the 2010 Vancouver Games.
Four years ago, gold was seemingly assured until his coach sent him into the wrong lane on a crossover and Kramer was disqualified.
Kramer says skipping the 1,500 was ''a very tough decision.''

Drupal 6: Online Presentation of Data: Part 2 of 10Looking at Drupal's database
Drupal's built-in data presentation tools offer several ways for web designers to clearly and attractively package their data. In Drupal 6: Online Presentation of Data, Tom Geller explains how Drupal handles data so users can set up intelligent structures and implement them with Drupal's Content Construction Kit. Tom also shows how a data-driven web site can improve its interactivity by using geographic data to connect real-world addresses to maps. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:
- Importing and manipulating data in Drupal
- Presenting date-formatted information in calendars
- Understanding Drupal's data-query interface, "Views"
- Improving view appearances with grid, list, and table formatting
- Importing, exporting, and cloning views
- Extending views with arguments and relationships
Looking at Drupal's database
Now we are ready to talk about Drupal itself. Keep in mind that Drupal essentially is just an attractive and flexible interface to a back end database. So it's worthwhile to take a look at that database to understand what exactly happens when you create, modify, and delete content in Drupal. This understanding will make Drupal administration a lot clearer overall and it opens up a world of possibilities if you are an advanced programmer or a database administrator.
We are working with a pretty clean installation of Drupal here. We are going to mess it up a little, so we'll be ready to roll it back to its previous state we are done. The Using the Exercise Files chapter of this course shows you how to save and restore a database, so be sure to watch that video if you decide to follow along and you end up making changes that you decide not to keep later. First, we have our site right here. Let's go and take a look at the database that's sitting behind it. To do so, we go up to phpMyAdmin and click on lynda, which is the name of the database we are using for this course. Each of the things you see here in this left column and here in the main part of the screen are individual tables. The names of these tables are fairly self-explanatory for the most part.
For example, let's take one of the simpler ones. User, we go down and we click where it says users here and we see the structure of the database. Each one of the rows here: name, pass, mail, and so forth is a field in that table. The mail field for example stores the email address for that user that the user gave when they created that account. If you click on the little icon to the left of that word user here, you get to browse the database. The other way to do that is by clicking on Browse up here, then you see the values that are in the database itself. Right now we have two users. When you create a Drupal site, user ID 0 is the anonymous user. It's sort of the placeholder for people who haven't actually logged into this site. User ID 1 is the super administrator who can do everything. From then on, everybody else is an authenticated user.
Information about these roles is stored in another table, here called role. In the roles table, we see the two roles that are setup in Drupal automatically. Role ID 1 is the anonymous user. Role ID 2 is an authenticated user. If we were to setup other roles later, they would be roles ID 3, 4, and so forth, and they would have whatever names we gave them. Then when we create users and assigned them to that role, those two would be connected so that a user would have a role ID.
Let's go back briefly to our users table however. And then let's go back to our site and actually create a user. To do so you would go to Administer > User management > Users > Add user. So under Username, we are going to make it tom, E-mail address [email protected]. Password, we'll just say password. Password of course we have to confirm, password. Scroll to the bottom. Active user, we are not going to notify them of it, but we create the account. Good, and it's all done. Now that we've created that user, let's see what actually happened in the database. So we go back to phpMyAdmin, and click again to browse the user's table. You'll notice there is tom, user ID 3. I think somewhere in the middle there I created another user and then deleted it, so instead of saying 2 it was It will keep increasing the user ID automatically, so you don't have to worry about it.
Click Play or press spacebar to start or stop video
But you can see there is our Password, it's encrypted so that someone who is looking at the database can't simply see it. The e-mail address, some flags on it to say whether or not they are an active user, when they last logged in and so forth. This example is going to be more complex, because when you create a node in Drupal, it actually affects many more tables. If you look along this left-hand side, you'll see node, node_access, node _common_statistics, etcetera, but let's go ahead and do that we'll see how it works.
So we go back to our site and Create content. This time I'm going to create a story and I'm going to say "Hello again, world!" The body is "Did you miss me?" and I'll scroll to the bottom and since this is a story, it will go to the front page automatically that's in Publishing options here, and Save. If we go back to our front page, we see there it is.
Now let's go back to our database and see exactly what happened. We click up here to go back to phpMyAdmin. Let's start with a node table. And there we see the first page we created earlier in this course, Hello, world! and there is our second one. It has a node ID, known as nId, a version ID, vId, and a lot of other information in here, but interestingly, it doesn't include the body of the node. That is actually referred to in another table, in node_revisions. If we go there, so you can see the Drupal actually keeps a complex set of relationships between node tables, and node revisions tables, and even the user tables. Here you can see which user created it, with the uId.
For those of you who want to get really deep into Drupal's database, I would like to suggest a few resources. The first one is a module called schema, and it's available at drupal.org/project/schema.
A schema describes how a database is built, and this module will show you how your particular database is created and interacts a little bit better while you are running your Drupal site.
The second module is called devel. Devel is for any kind of Drupal developer. It will show you the SQL commands that are being sent to and from the server, PHP messages, very useful if you are doing any sort of high-end Drupal development. So, that gives you an introduction to how Drupal handles data. I know this knowledge may seem arcane now, but it will help you in many ways beyond this course. For example, if your Drupal site is broken, you might be able to fix it by manipulating the database directly. And a thorough understanding of the database is essential to importing legacy data or to writing custom modules that use data in some way.
The functions of those 45 or so tables installed in Drupal by default, and the tables installed by dozens and dozens of common modules are a worthwhile study if you want to go further with your Drupal database knowledge. All it takes is phpMyAdmin, a Drupal installation and plenty of time.

Angèle Arsenault
Angèle Arsenault, OC, OPEI, singer, songwriter, pianist, guitarist, actor, broadcaster (born 1 October 1943 in Abrams Village, PEI; died 25 February 2014 in Saint-Sauveur, QC).
Angèle Arsenault, OC, OPEI, singer, songwriter, pianist, guitarist, actor, broadcaster (born 1 October 1943 in Abrams Village, PEI; died 25 February 2014 in Saint-Sauveur, QC). Angèle Arsenault was a pioneering Acadian singer-songwriter. She won a Félix Award in 1979 for selling more than 200,000 copies of her album Libre (1977), and was renowned for her catchy, upbeat melodies, playful social commentary and distinctive humour. She was perhaps best known for the songs "Évangéline, Acadian Queen," "Je veux toute la vivre ma vie," and the Acadian anthem "Grand-Pré." An Officer of the Order of Canada and a Member of the Order of Prince Edward Island, she received the Ordre de la Pléiade from the Association of French-Speaking Parliamentarians for her role in promoting French language and culture.
Education and Early Career
The 8th of 14 children in a musical Acadian family, Arsenault won a televised singing contest in Charlottetown when she was 14. In 1963, while earning a BA at the University of Moncton, she made her debut performances in Moncton and Québec City, accompanying herself on guitar and piano. She began collecting and singing traditional Acadian songs, and graduated with a master's degree in Literature from Université Laval in 1968. She sang in boîtes à chansons, and on radio and TV, and toured Canada several times. In 1973, the impresario Lise Aubut encouraged her to write and sing her own songs in English and French. In 1974, she co-founded the Société de production et de programmation de spectacles with Aubut and the singers Edith Butler and Jacqueline Lemay.
Career Highlights
After performing and serving as MC at several folk festivals, including Mariposa, Arsenault released her debut album, Première (1975), followed by her first and only English album, Angèle Arsenault (1976). Her second French album, Libre (1977), yielded two hit singles — "Je veux toute la vivre ma vie" and the humorous "Moi j'mange" — and led to television appearances and performances at Montréal's Place des Arts. In 1977, she released C'est la recreation with Edith Butler and Jacqueline Lemay. In 1979, Libre was certified double-platinum in Canada for sales of over 200,000 copies and won the Félix Award for Best-Selling LP.
Arsenault's next album, Y'a une étoile pour vous (1979), was certified gold in Canada for sales of over 50,000 copies. It was followed by Chanter dans le soleil (1980), Paniquez pas pour rien (1982) and the Christmas album XXX (1983). In 1980, she represented Canada at the Spa Festival in Belgium, and then toured Canada and Québec. After a break from performing, Arsenault returned to the concert stage in 1988, and performed in Normandy, Brittany and Poitou in 1990.
After a 10-year hiatus from recording, Arsenault released Bonjour Madame Bolduc (1993), based on the 1992 stage play that toured in Canada and France, and Transparente (1994), which includes "Papa Arthur," the complex, ironic "Évangéline, Acadian Queen" and the Acadian anthem "Grand-Pré." These two releases, especially Transparente, reveal a more natural style than her earlier work, while still retaining her high energy and distinctive humour. A greatest hits compilation, J'ai vécu bien des années, followed in 1995.
Based in Montréal for much of her career, Arsenault returned to PEI in 1996 to care for her mother, and released a children's album, Amour, in 1999. She moved back to Québec in 2012, and in May 2013, participated in the show The Return of Our Idols at the Capitole de Québec with such artists as Michel Fugain and Jean-Pierre Ferland. She performed many times at the Evangeline Area Acadian Festival in her native Abrams Village, including a show with her family in the summer of 2013. For the 150th anniversary celebrations of the Charlottetown Conference in 2014, she translated the lyrics of the theme song "Forever Strong" ("Île au trésor") into French and took part in a cross-Canada tour.
Acting and Broadcasting
Arsenault's sunny disposition and good-natured confidence made her a natural host for radio and television. For TVOntario, she hosted True North (1973–75, with Roy Payne) and the educational program Avec Angèle, which won a Gold Hugo Award at the Chicago Film Festival in 1974. She hosted the TV series Angèle (1980) for Radio-Canada Atlantique, as well as Radiomutuel's Le Radio-café Provigo (1986–88), Radio-Canada's Mes noëls en Acadie (1988) and Radio-Canada Moncton's morning show (1989). She was also a correspondent in Charlottetown for Telefilm Canada's PassepArt.
She acted in Anne-Claire Poirier's Le Temps de l'avant (1975), Gille Carle's 1983 adaptation of Maria Chapdelaine and the popular TV mini-series Au nom du père et du fils (1993), and appeared on the children's TV series Alphabus and Sesame Street. She was also featured in television commercials for Crisco shortening in the mid-1980s, which drew on her joie de vivre and humour, and used her song "Moi j'mange" as a jingle.
Writing in Montréal's La Presse (2 December 1978), Pierre Beaulieu summarized her art in these terms: "Angèle Arsenault may denounce the status of women, demand freedom for everyone, or attack the consumer society, but she always does so jokingly and optimistically, to rhythmic tunes rooted in the folk and the country, and accompanied simply and effectively." Following her death, PEI Premier Robert Ghiz called her "an incredible talent that left an indelible mark on Prince Edward Island, and especially on the Island's Acadian and Francophone community."

Vandoren ZZ - Soprano Saxophone Reeds - Box of 10
Buy any 5 boxes of reeds - Save 10%
In tests with Jazz saxophonists, the artists found the new reed to be immediately responsive without sacrificing
the brightness or tone quality required for their style of music.
Its free-blowing characteristics made the artists immediate fans of the new reed.
The differences between ZZs and Javas is relatively subtle- but noticeable if they are played off against each other. Both reeds are clearly aimed at players within the jazz, blues or even pop field but are designed to emphasize different parts of the core sound. Javas are relatively bright, edgy with plenty of cut to them (as I said above, a good choice for jazz/funk and the like), ZZs- though still fairly bright- facilitate a big, somewhat husky tone. There's pleasing fullness and 'boom' here which is very satisfying to work with. One warning though, these reeds do not seem to like respond well when overblown, these are not an ideal choice for use in a loud, inadequately monitored situation. firstname.lastname@example.com
