Featured Alum: Sarah Uhl and the Presidential Management Fellowship
Hello FES Blog Readers!! I hope you are all doing well out there, and that the doldrums of winter are not starting to get to you (I myself am quite ready for spring to get here already. Here's hoping Punxsutawney Phil misses his shadow tomorrow and brings spring a little earlier this year).
I'm back with another featured alum, this time Sarah Uhl (MESc '12). Sarah worked closely with our environmental health faculty, and has been devoted to reducing toxins in our environment for her entire career. I wanted to speak to Sarah because she is now a Presidential Management Fellow (PMF), working for the EPA—an opportunity several of our students have gotten to participate in (or at least those ones interested in working for the federal government).
I sat down with Sarah for a quick chat about her time before, during, and after FES.
Emily: Thanks for chatting with me today, Sarah! Let's start at the beginning: where were you before FES?
Sarah: I got a degree in Environmental & Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies at Dartmouth. After that, I began working for the Clean Water Fund, and then Clean Water Action. I spent four years working for Clean Water Action. During that time, I spearheaded the Coalition for a Safe & Healthy Connecticut, an alliance of citizens, health professionals, workers, environmental justice leaders, educators, scientists, and faith communities working to replace toxic chemicals in everyday products and industry with safer alternatives.
Emily: Wow! That sounds awesome! So then, what did you do while you were at FES?
Sarah: As a master's student at FES, I studied the health effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. My research explored the degree to which factors such individuals' age, race, and socioeconomic status are associated with their susceptibility to the metabolic and reproductive health effects of perfluorinated compounds and phthalates.
Emily: Sounds…sciency.
Sarah: It was. And I loved it!
Emily: So now you're at EPA? Tell me a little bit about that.
Sarah: Yep! These days I'm working in Washington, DC at EPA Headquarters in the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, National Program Chemicals Division. Professionally, I enjoy interpreting science for policy-makers, gaining experience with the regulatory process, and knowing that my efforts contribute to protecting human health and the environment from toxic chemicals.
Emily: And you got this job through the Presidential Management Fellowship?
Sarah: Yes. During my two-year Presidential Management Fellowship, I have the opportunity to participate in 160 hours of classroom training to hone my leadership and project management skills, and participate in a developmental assignment at another agency or organization of my choice. I would highly recommend the program to others interested in pursuing a leadership position within the federal government.
Emily: That does sound like a great opportunity! Especially since so many of our prospective students are eager to get jobs in the District. Speaking of, how is it to be living around so many ex-FESers?
Sarah: Socially, I could not be happier to be in our nation's capitol. While living here has been an adjustment given my rural roots in the hills of New Hampshire, the confluence of close friends from Yale FES, my undergrad days, and the PMF network has really made the city feel like home.
There you have it, folks! Sarah's a busy lady, but we got the basic facts down. Certainly, if you have other questions, you can feel free to get in touch with me.
Until next time,
Emily (firstname.lastname@example.com)

MULBERRY , Fla., July 8 (UPI) -- A Florida man who attempted to wrestle an alligator that he claimed ate his dog found out the aquatic animal was all bite and no bark.
Matthew Pope was near Loyce E. Harpe Park in Mulberry when he tried to take revenge on the gator, but the 29-year-old quickly found out he had bitten off a bit more than he could chew.
Luckily for him, teenagers Daniel Butler and Ryan Stromsnes were nearby.
"I don't know what was going through his head because I would never even attempt a thing like that," 18-year-old Daniel Butler told Fox 13. "I just can't believe he actually tried to wrestle a gator."
Sixteen-year-old Stromsnes and Butler jumped in the water to help rescue Butler.
"He tried to grab the gator by its snout and that's when the gator got upset and broke free from his grip and proceeded to bite the man in the right arm," Butler said. "The gator dragged him under and he was gone for a few seconds. He came up screaming. I went to grab it by the belly and when I touched it underneath, the gator freaked out let go and look off.
Stromsnes helped Butler out of the water and used his belt as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding from his arm. The boys called 911 and wildlife officials came and put down the gator.
"We heard later he probably didn't have a dog. He was just trying to get the gator," Stromsnes said.

Richland County, SC (WLTX) - Richland County deputies have charged two parents with the death of their baby boy.
Deputies arrested Danielle Jeanette Elrod and Jason Noel Goodrich, both 26, charging them with homicide by child abuse.
Officers say back on November 5, they got a call of a suspicious death at the couple's home. When they arrived, they found the couple's three-month-old son unresponsive in the bed.
"We can't say this enough or express it enough to make sure that when you lay your child down, you lay them down in a safe environment, safe conditions, so that something like this doesn't happen. Alcohol doesn't have to be involved, drugs doesn't have to be involved for something like this to occur," Lieutenant Curtis Wilson said. "It's an unfortunate situation when this happens for the family because of the fact that they're losing a child, but again your heart goes out to that child that's no longer here because of a negligent act."
The coroner's office determined the boy died of asphyxiation from unsafe sleeping conditions caused by the parents. According to investigators, the two had been drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana before lying in bed with the child.
The two turned themselves in Wednesday. If convicted, they'd face a maximum of 20 years in prison.

The Nonprofit Advantage
Pulling the Heart Strings
They don't call them "heart strings" for nothing, and when it comes to Social Media, nonprofits have a significant advantage and I will tell you why.
Social Media is a tricky medium. It doesn't always generate immediate actions that result in sales. The promotions that are successful take investment not only in Facebook advertising, but a significant investment in time, creativity and budget to create an artfully designed campaign. Some things never change. Just as in the past, the promotions that work, take forethought and planning.
Many businesses have become disappointed in their social media results. The big success stories have led them to believe that all they had to do was post and sales would come! People are finicky, though, when it comes to their social time, we have to make it interesting to have an impact. They will not seek out a company that is just pushing out ad messages, they simply won't. We have to pull at the heart strings or elicit a powerful emotion to get their attention.
One of the best articles I have read on this topic is by Eric Jaffe. He sums it up like this:
"Recent research suggests that emotions hold the secret to viral web content. Articles, posts, or videos that evoke positive emotions have greater viral potential than something that evokes negative feelings, but both do a better job recruiting clicks than neutral content."
This where nonprofits have a significant advantage! My advice to nonprofits is to take your powerful stories, past and present, and package them in a digital manner. Make a powerful presentation with your quotes, success stories and images using free services like http://animoto.com/ or http://prezi.com/ . Build a photo collage or an infographic using free tools: http://www.fotor.com/ or http://piktochart.com/.
Once you have the fresh content developed, announce it at a board meeting or your next public gathering. Provide it to your volunteers, staff and board members via e-mail or your social networks. Encourage everyone to tune in for the latest "sharable content." Give them something ready to share with their own friends and followers. This strategy works best when repeated often!
Need help? I have a softspot in my heart for nonprofits, having spent eight years of my career working the heart strings. I would be happy to provide a free consultation.

I'm happy to have Kerry here posting from The Seventy Tree. She's keeps an inspiring
blog and is one of the sweetest out there!She has has a fantastic shop too,
I bought this postcard and it came with an adorable pin, which Israel wears on his scarf!
Hello everyone! It is so nice to be here. Thank you very much Jennifer for inviting me along to guest post on your lovely blog...which is very exciting for me, seeing as I have followed you for so long!
My post for you all today includes a real mixture! Random bits and pieces that I have been gathering and am very much liking at the moment. I hope you do too!
First up is this very cool space. I'm a big fan of warm wood, mid-century furniture and white walls, teamed with brightly coloured accessories, so this is pretty perfect (in my opinion). Via
Secondly, I've chosen one of my Etsy finds, a very sweet polaroid camera necklace by That Kate. Definitely going on my Christmas list. I love it!
Next up are these amazing lampshades by Londoner Sarah Newman, whose company DesignBark exhibited recently at Tent London (a superb exhibition that was part of London Design Week). My little family went along, so I got to see these in the flesh....and I have to say, they were beautiful. I'm a big three-sided-shape fan, so I really want one...but which colour??
Finally, I have chosen two Folksy finds, 'Monty The Sleepy Fox,' a gorgeous lambswool knit by Sara Carr. He is so cute...my daughter would love him, but she'd have to share him with her mummy too! And to finish off and to say thank you for having me, I have chosen this very appropriate 'Thanks, Merci, Tusen, Takk, Grazie etc" screen print by talented design-duo, All Cats Are Grey.
Thanks again Jennifer for having me. I've had lots of fun putting this together. I hope you all have lovely days x
Thank you Kerry!

Deep South The Bar
Raleigh, NC
This event is 18 and overhttp://www.deepsouththebar.com/event/1592230/
Five Mile Radius
Five Mile Radius is a gritty hard rock band started right here in Raleigh NC, but with roots stretching all over. Crunchy guitar riffs with a smattering of classic rock merged with the modern and a heaping helping of melody. Hunter Sackreiter's guitar playing merges both feeling and technicality by taking the best out of both classic and modern guitar playing ranging from Radiohead to Frank Zappa to The Who. Bassist Nicholas Costello plays with a striking balance between back beat and melody, taking cues from rush as well as post rock, bringing a striking harmony with the lead guitar. Johnny Sinatra's vocals (no not that Sinatra) combines the rock riffs with a hard focus on melody, drawing influence from the Beatles and the Doors all the way up to modern Hip-hop. Drummer Joshua Fajardo takes The Who and jazz to tightly follow the main guitar riff like black sabbath of old.

Given the history of Ford's Mustang, I shouldn't have been surprised at the reaction I heard this morning to an article in the Wall Street Journal.
The piece centered on Ford's plans to revamp the Mustang with a new design that will not have the current retro look we see with the pony car. What do people think of this move?
Based on a few discussions with Ford fans, they don't like it. They love the way the current Mustang looks and they want the classic look to stay.
As much as I agree with them and love the look of the current Mustang, it's time for a change. Last year, Mustang sales were less than half of what they were when the current latest redesign hit its high water mark.
So going with a design that is more updated makes sense. As times change cars have to change, even iconic models.
At the heart of the Mustang makeover is Fords desire to attract younger buyers. As the article pointed out, the average Mustang buyer is 51 years old. That means people who graduated high school in 1979 and remember the Mustang when it was wildly popular in the late 60's and early 70's are the primary buyers for the current model which has a retro look.
There's nothing wrong with selling a car to a 51 year old buyer. But in the car business, the goal is winning over younger buyers. And that's a tough task with a car that has a retro design. So Ford will come out with an updated model and the Mustang fans will most likely howl at the way Ford is messing with a classic car.
Is there a chance the next Mustang will be a major step backwards? Yes. Over the last 40 years Ford has rolled out a few Mustangs that were forgettable. Remember what they looked like in the mid to late 90's?
My gut says Ford designers will remember how far they strayed in the past when updating the Mustang with a fresher, more contemporary look. Who knows if it will succeed in winning over younger buyers, but if Ford is going to have a shot with those buyers, it needs a Mustang with a younger, fresher look.

This is something delightful to me about Suzanne Somers. It's not leftover sentimentality from a childhood of watching Three's Company, because even at a young age I found her character irritatingly dim. If I were Jack Tripper, I would have spent all my time down at the Regal Beagle so as to avoid having to make the effort to communicate with her. I am not secretly also running a website called Go Thighmaster Yourself -- a fact which is, tragically, immediately apparent. I have never read either her book of poetry, or her 2004 publication, The Sexy Years: Discover the Hormone Connection - The Secret to Fabulous Sex, Great Health, and Vitality, for Women and Men, although The Sexy Years sounds like the name of an awesome Justin Timberlake retrospective produced in approximately 2023. In fact, I have no idea where this affection comes from. It just is. However, I have no affection for this:
This is what happens when a bridesmaid's dress meets a craft store fanatic: tragedy, and enough rosettes to last any woman's lifetime. Also, dyed to match shoes. However, that enormous chestral-ruff does seem like it would come in handy if you ran out of places on which to set your drink.

Q&A: Executing Queries on Remote Servers
by Microsoft's SQL Server Development Team
Q. I have two servers, and I want to call a stored procedure with the server name as the parameter and have the stored procedure's T-SQL query run against the appropriate server, as in the following code:
CREATE PROCEDURE (@prmServer varchar(500)) AS SELECT * FROM ##.pubs.dbo.Titles GO
How do I execute the procedure's T-SQL query on the correct server by using the server parameter (the ## part of the object name) and without converting the T-SQL code to a string or using an EXECUTE statement? Does SQL Server provide an object for server name, such as ObjectReference in the statement
SELECT * FROM ObjectReference(@prmServer) .pubs.dbo.Titles
that I can use in place of the server's name? Or can I map @prmServer to an alias such as TempServer, as in
SELECT * FROM TempServer.pubs.dbo.Titles
then run my T-SQL code?

text: Digital Photos: The Pope and the Press By Patrick|April 16, 2008Share By Patrick|April 16, 2008Share It has to be said: No one — and I mean, no one — chews gum with as wide of a mouth as CBS's Jim Axelrod. Other things we noticed while at the White House today: Were you one of the reporters who refused to wait in line to gain access to the White House? The New York Times' Sheryl Stolberg tried the line for five minutes ("This is the line for people with hard passes?" HARD PASSES? O-kaaaay…") before saying to-hell-with-it and skipping ahead… C-SPAN's Steve Scully also didn't last long in line before making his way to the front of the gate. American Urban Radio's April Ryan (who has wedding planners on speed dial…) even climbed up part of the fence to alert the security to let her in. Matt Lauer: Per usual, acts like he owns the place (and, to be fair: He probably does). Some photogs were none too happy with the "three yahoos" standing on ladders in the front row of the press section. "I mean, I know they're Italian press and all but…" moaned one U.S. photog.

National survey findings released today indicate that Americans' awareness of nanotechnology remains low. Popular awareness is nearly as small as the tiny nanoscale materials and nano-enabled devices and products now flowing onto the market from this rapidly progressing technology that experts believe will usher in a new industrial revolution.
The poll also finds that most Americans continue to prefer that government, not industry, oversee and manage risks associated with advances in new areas of science and technology like nanotech, even though public confidence in U.S. regulatory agencies overall is declining.
The poll, a follow up to a similar poll conducted last year, surveyed 1,014 U.S. adults by telephone on August 27-28. It, as well as the prior poll, was commissioned by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (www.nanotechproject.org) at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and conducted by independent research firm Peter D. Hart Research.
Even with an estimated $50 billion worth of nanotechnology manufactured goods on the global market last year, only 6 percent of Americans – or fewer than one in 16 – say they have "heard a lot" about nanotechnology, as compared with 10 percent in 2006. In 2007, 21 percent say they have "heard some" about nanotechnology, unchanged from the previous year. Similarly, as in 2006, about 70 percent of adults say they have heard "just a little" or "nothing at all."
Women of all ages, older Americans, and individuals with less education and lower incomes are least likely to have heard about nanotechnology.
"Even though the number of nanotechnology-enabled consumer products – from dietary supplements to skin products to electronic devices – has more than doubled to over 500 products since last year (www.nanotechproject.org/consumerproducts), the 'needle' on public awareness of nanotechology remains stuck at disappointingly low levels," says David Rejeski, director of the Wilson Center's Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies. "Efforts to inform the public have not kept pace with the growth of this new technology area. This increases the danger that the slightest bump – even a false alarm about safety or health – could undermine public confidence, engender consumer mistrust, and, as a result, damage the future of nanotechnology, before the most exciting applications are realized. If they do not effectively engage a broad swath of the public in steering the course of nanotechnology, government and industry risk squandering a tremendous opportunity."
Specific polling questions examined opinions on the safety of our food system as well as the use of nanotechnology in food packaging and products. Over 60 percent of the public feels that the food supply has become less safe in recent years. Of the federal agencies most responsible for food safety, all earn similar public-confidence ratings: 57 percent to 59 percent of adults say they have at least a "fair amount" of confidence in the agencies' ability to maximize benefits and minimize risks stemming from advances in science and technology.
Key findings specific to food and nanotechnology include:
Other key findings from the 2007 poll include:
"As in previous polls, the results of this survey indicate that public wants more information about nanotechnology. Most Americans will be reluctant to use nano food and food-related products until they know enough to evaluate the merits of these products," according to Rejeski.
Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information, visit the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies on PewHealth.org.

Cryogenic helium buffer gases have cooled a diversity of molecules to temperatures ~1 K. Driven by collisional physics studies, as well as mixture and chiral analysis, we are now cooling larger (often biological) molecules. A detailed understanding of helium-molecule sticking is currently unknown, as is any (related) possible molecular size limit of buffer gas cooling. We explore He-molecule collisions at energies well below their binding energy, where the pair would form a dimer (or a larger cluster) under equilibrium conditions. Molecules from an oven source (300-500 K) flow into a cold (5 K) cell, where they undergo a few hundred collisions with He that is at a density of ~10^14 cm^-3. Using laser fluorescence, we observe translational and internal cooling of benzonitrile, benzonitrile dimers, trans-stilbene and the significantly larger molecule Nile Red. Narrow, unperturbed spectral lines in trans-stilbene indicate the gas-phase monomer. Our spectra of Nile Red -- the first ever taken in the gas-phase -- also indicates cold monomer. In Nile Red, we also see broad spectral features that are possibly consistent with the creation of a molecule-molecule dimer population. We see no evidence of high He-molecule dimer formation rates (in either species) and conclude that for these molecules (as well as smaller molecules cooled in earlier work [1]) the lifetime of possible helium-molecule dimers is below ~1 microsecond.

Fighter Love
|Your take?
7 comments:
...to be continued. dun dun daReplyDelete
In every new game I play, RPG or video game I always play a human fighter. I guess it's my baseline on how to gauge a game. If I can't enjoy the game playing a fighter I really doubt I enjoy playing with the more specialized classes. But I prefer to play a smart fighter, if I get the right stats. I guy who can read people, gauge their abilities and find their weakness.
Looking forward to my copy of 5AK!Replies
@ Tim:Delete
I managed to get your copy out in the mail Friday morning; expect it next week.
: )
Now here's something I can get pretty excited about.ReplyDelete
At the risk of pre-empting your idea, though I hope to throw some logs on the fire for you, you should check out Large Polyhedron Collider's series "A New Look At Combat" (http://largepolyhedroncollider.wordpress.com/a-new-look-at-combat/) it has some awesome tactical choices you can drop into any game with a little work. I'm riffing off it for my own game, it's just that good.ReplyDeleteReplies
@ Homeless:Delete
Feel free to preempt...saves me time writing! I'll check it out when I have the chance. Right now I've got a bunch o fires on the homefront that need putting out.
Lack of Leadership is something that's being played out in two groups that I'm presently running.ReplyDelete
They like being "rugged individuals."
Several of them should have died already, but I intervened. Not again. Time for them to learn the hard way: No teamwork, no survive.
im trying to make fighter more appealing and have post about to get up on subject - I like bx + NWP system and it helps fighters alot much like feats - modern dnd fighter could get more feats in my bookReplyDelete
mass combat a way to make shine too
i would write up paladins and rangers in my game but as nobody plays fighters creating another excuse to not play them is low on my plan list

April 20. I have a date today. To be totally honest, I'm not really looking forward to it. For one thing, I'm not sure about the guy. He seems like a nice-enough man, impressively intelligent and admirably energetic—considering his 81 years, anyway. But I already know we differ markedly on many issues that are of deep importance to me. For another thing, it's kind of a logistical nightmare. I have to get from my house in New Jersey to Yankee Stadium without a car due to tight security, and at eight months of pregnancy I'm not relishing the trek. Oh, and 58,000 other people are coming along.
Still, as an American Catholic, I feel I ought not pass up the opportunity to attend a papal Mass, no matter my misgivings or the transportation obstacles. So here I am on my way to a date with Pope Benedict XVI.
NOTE: I didn't actually liveblog this, as I attended as a civilian and we hoipolloi weren't allowed laptops in the stadium. And I wanted you to experience the day with me in proper succession so I didn't break it out into separate posts. Hang in there; there're snapshots!
9:58 a.m. I leave the house to drop my three-year-old off with the sitter, then drive across the Hudson River and park near a subway stop in Harlem. There are more white people on the D train to Yankee Stadium than I've ever seen. A contingent of young women wear black windbreakers emblazoned with the words Choose Life. Although clearly I am bearing the consequence of having heeded their message, none of them offer me a seat. A cheer goes up when the subway conductor announces the stop.
10:40 a.m. Hordes of faithful inch out of the station and toward the stadium. Legions of New York's finest herd us toward the gates. Despite the cattle conditions, people—of every age, color and accent—are remarkably polite, chatting excitedly about the pope's earlier visit to Ground Zero; weather reports for the day (overcast and chilly); the preceding Concert of Hope and its headliner, Harry Connick Jr. When we get to the gate, though, the cheer turns to anxiety and annoyance as Mass-goers realize there are fewer than a dozen metal detectors set up for the thousands of us. It takes 20 minutes to move the last 10 feet. One of the security personnel decides to unpack the entire contents of my regulation-sized purse, and in the end confiscates my apple (did she think I might lob it at His Holiness?). Unbelievably, I don't reach my seat until after noon.
12:04 p.m. The Concert of Hope has already begun when I find my seat. The country's most famous ballpark has been transformed for the occasion into a sea of white, purple and gold, the Vatican's colors. The elevated stage is set up in the basic shape of a baseball diamond, with the pope's throne just over second base. The first act involves dancers in white unitards affixed with wings. Much more interesting is the parade of priests: pastors in white robes, seminarians in black, Franciscan monks in brown. There's a gaggle of nuns in bright blue veils, another group of sisters in gray, a choir robed in purple and gold.
12:30 p.m. The Harlem Gospel Choir gets the crowd on their feet with "Oh, Happy Day." As a rule, Catholics don't get on their feet, at least not to sing and dance; there's enough mandated sit-kneel-standing in Mass. None of the musical acts—not Ronan Tynan, Marcello Giordano, Jose Feliciano, Stephanie Mills, not even Harry Connick Jr.—induces the kind of eyes-closed, hands-in-the-air worship I've seen at evangelical services. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure the Harlem choir isn't Catholic. They've got way too much soul.
1:47 p.m. Some diva takes the stage to warble R&B renditions of classic hymns, and the Concert of Hope officially becomes the Concert of Nope, You Can Hope But It Ain't Yet the Pope. I take a bathroom break, and find a line at the ladies' room 58 people long. There's a nun guarding the exit to make sure no one jumps the line. There are many ways to serve His Eminence today, and I would argue hers is among the noblest.
2 p.m. Mass is supposed to begin now, but instead of the Popemobile, the dancers in white unitards are back, this time unfurling giant paper birds. A flock of doves—actually, more likely white homing pigeons—are released to flap around the ballpark. These pigeons are definitely not from New York.
2:17 p.m. "He's here!" "It's him!" The Popemobile finally appears on the Jumbotrons, then comes into view from Monument Park out in left field. Soon Benedict himself is visible, dressed in white, genuflecting slowly from within the little vehicle. He gets to home plate, then disappears into the Yankee dugout, presumably to change outfits. The crowd waves the yellow and white dinner napkins we were handed upon entry and begins to chant: "We want the pope!" "Be-ne-dic-tu!"
2:40 p.m. Benedict steps onto the stage. He walks slowly, gripping his golden staff, stopping to wave and acknowledge the crowd. He is wearing a gold miter and vestments, in contrast to the cream of the cardinals who processed before him. I'd read the cream represents anniversaries; turns out we're celebrating the bicentennial of the creation of New York, Philadelphia and other dioceses.
3:02 p.m. When the lector steps up for the first reading, I realize that of the hundreds of brilliantly robed celebrants on the stage, she is the only woman. The second lector is a woman, too. Oh, and the two sign-language interpreters.
3:20 p.m. Benedict begins his homily. He has a rather surprisingly gentle, mellifluous voice. I took his sermon to mean that as much as we ought to value our freedom in this, the land of the free, freedom means little without truth, and that we are obligated to pursue justice and good even as we cherish our liberty. "In this land of religious freedom," he says, "Catholics found freedom—not just to practice their faith but to participate in civic life." When he says that obligation extends to protecting "the most defenseless among us, the unborn child in the mother's womb," the crowd erupts into its first ovation of the sermon.
4:15 p.m. An army of priests fans out around the stadium to distribute holy communion. Though the event has gone off fairly smoothly so far, all organization appears to crumble at this all-important sacrament. The crowd watches in envy as about 40 super V.I.P.s receive the host from the pope himself—envy not just at their proximity to the Holy Father, but at the speed and orderliness of their rite. For the rest of us, it's a scrum. The priests are escorted into the stadium seats by cops and Knights of Columbus, in their silly feather-boa hats, where cupped hands are thrust toward the golden bowls, all but grabbing at the wafers.
5:00 p.m. Mass is over. The pope exits the stadium in his bullet-proof golf cart. As I make my way home, I feel glad to have experienced a landmark event for American Catholics—though being in the papal presence did little to answer my many questions about the church, its future or my place in it. Still, I kind of liked Benedict. I'd see him again.

1. Look and see what materials you have on hand. Good things to start with are basic black or white apparel such as shirts, pants, shorts, dresses, etc. I also always look to see if I have anything that is already cow print. And I love using markers and felt. You can purchase black and white felt fairly cheap and it works extremely well.
2. After gathering what you have at home, start thinking of how you can put it together to make an outfit for Cow Appreciation Day. Our family likes to dress head to hoof to get a free meal!
3. We have several cow costumes that we use every year. My Mom found a body size cow costume for me one year after Halloween 90% off - that is a great time to stock up on actual costumes and accessories but I love making costumes as well.
Ideas from Our Past
Here is a younger A and B dressed up!
Having fun!
B is wearing our baby cow outfit, which we use for all our younger children. A is dressed in black pants, a white shirt and a cow print bandanna around her neck and hair tie to pull it all together.
Here we are in the front yard.
I too have a bandanna. This year I used a little face make-up and made black spots on our face. Remember, you can also use brown. Not all cows are black and white!
Here you see D in the same baby cow costume with B and C.
This year the older kids wore jeans and white/gray shirts that we already had on hand. I used a black sharpie and make spots on the girls shirts and I made black felt spots for C's shirt. We also used a little black face make-up for spots.
I put a white base on my face this year to have the make-up stand out even more.
Then I made some felt signs. I used a white piece of felt, a little string/rope and a black and red sharpie - really simple yet effective.
Here are my signs! They just give an outfit that extra oomph!
All ready to go!
Baby E is wearing the baby cow costume and D is sporting another one that we bought. This year A and B are wearing black pants with white spray paint spots and black shirts with homemade white felt cow spot hearts. C is wearing cow print chaps, black shirt with our homemade sign and his cowboy hat to tie it all together.
Another photo of them at Chick-fil-A.
Baby E
All of us at Chick-fil-A
Here we are with the older girls wearing white shirts with black felt spots and our homemade signs.
With the sign
This is what it looks like the night before Cow Appreciation Day in our house, Cow Eve.
Here you can see D is wearing a checkered black and white dress. You really can tie in what you have.
We used headbands this year to make cow ears, and white visors with black sharpie spots added. I also put together a few cowbells. The older girls are wearing cow print felt spots.
Lots of fun
I haven't quite decided how our cow attire will be finalized this year but I know it will be good. Stay tuned for more as we get closer to the day! And I would love to hear your ideas.

fuente de los 100 peses
Bruce Nauman's installation of three fountain sculptures wraps up today at the Donald Young Gallery in Chicago. The One Hundred Fish Fountain is made up of ninety-seven cast bronze fish spurting water from punctured holes. The water is collected in a large basin below and then pumped back through tubing. But there is nothing peaceful about this water feature. The fish fill noisily with water, then spray it out angrily until the pumps are turned off and the remaining water drips out during the ensuing silence. The other two fountains, 3 Heads Fountain (3 Andrews) and 3 Heads Fountain (Juliet, Andrew, Rinde) are smaller in scale, each comprised of three epoxy resin and fiberglass heads that are wired together. Again, water sprays from the punctures.

|The Art of the Demo

AV Education on RHT
The Art of the Demo
Written by Jerry Del Colliano
November 2004
In the glory days of high-end audio, the demo sold at the local stereo store often made indelible impressions on consumers, causing people to save every penny to afford that new tone arm or tube preamp. Today, the audiophile market is basically dead in all places other than eBay and Audiogon. Dealers have had to adapt in order to sell engineered systems in increasingly complex homes that come complete with touch screen control of distributed audio, a full home theater system, lighting, HVAC, a wine collection and so much more. The problem is that many dealers in this time of real estate boom (and the impending home theater sales that go along with such a boom) have forgotten how to really blow a customer's socks off. In my career, I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work for some of the more legendary and colorful icons in the audiophile world, including Joe Cali and Mark Levinson at Cello, as well as Christopher Hansen at Christopher Hansen Ltd. in Beverly Hills. Both of these stores focused their attention in the early 1990s on the sale of ultra-expensive audio and home theater gear. The art of the demo was at a premium at Cello, where Cali, an actor from "Saturday Night Fever" and many TV shows, expected me to be as entertaining as the system was. We did basically zero advertising and each client who walked through the door was expected to buy something. You had to be sharp to keep your job.
Readers of Revolution Home Theater generally own or soon will own a significant home theater. You are the next generation to keep up the art of the demo for the industry. Over the next few years, dealers will increasingly be more like architects and less like stereo stores of the past. You, with your incredible system at home chock-full of the latest AV technology, can help advance the industry by wowing your friends with the emotion your system can reproduce in terms of music and film playback.
Here are a couple of my rules for a great demo that anyone can do:
1. Treat a demo like it is a menu for a fine dinner. There are a number of courses and a number of different tastes. Not all of them have to be related, but it is cool if you can pick up on trends. You need to think of your guests before you start spinning discs, just as you wouldn't smoke ribs for your vegan friends. You shouldn't be playing Metallica's Black Album for your grandparents, but you might get a standing ovation if you played "Fahrenheit 9/11" as dessert at the end of a demo of your system for your more liberal friends.

YORK — On Thursday, Jan. 31, students and teachers at York High School will close their textbooks, logoff their computers and put aside their usual curricula to address the issue of global climate change in the 21st century.
YORK — On Thursday, Jan. 31, students and teachers at York High School will close their textbooks, logoff their computers and put aside their usual curricula to address the issue of global climate change in the 21st century.
According to Alternative Education Teacher Christine Caprio, by having this day-long discussion YHS will be following a model that more than 1,000 colleges, universities, and high schools will be using nationwide that day as part of the Focus The Nation initiative.
"Faculty and staff are participating in a teach-in, which is a day when an entire school turns its attention to a single issue. When faculty, students and staff put aside business as usual, and focus the full weight of campus engagement on one topic, wrote Caprio in an e-mail.
"Global warming and climate change will be tied into all content areas, and teachers are meeting the challenge of making this issue a school-wide conversation for the day."
According to its Web site, Focus the Nation has become the biggest national teach-in in U.S. history, providing an opportunity for students, citizens and political leaders and decision makers to engage in talks about global warming solutions.
Sponsored by the school's environmental club, Gang Green, the event will offer the community a full day of solutions-oriented information pertaining to climate change and global warming.
For information about the YHS Focus the Nation events, or to reserve a seat for one or more of the guest lectures, contact Christine Caprio at 363-3621 or email@example.com.
