(Aphonia; Partial Loss of Voice; Voice, Loss of; Voice; Partial Loss of)
Loss of voice (also called aphonia) may take several different forms. You may have a partial loss of your voice and it may sound hoarse. Or, you may have complete loss of your voice and it may sound like a whisper. Loss of voice can come on slowly or quickly depending on the cause.
Aphonia is different from aphasia, which is a language disorder.
The Larynx
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Aphonia is usually due to problems with the voice box (called the larynx). However, there can be other causes, including:
Conditions that affect the vocal cords or airway. This may involve injury, swelling, or disease, such as:
- Laryngitis caused by a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection
- Vocal abuse—yelling or talking excessively
- Exposure to airborne irritants, such as smoke or air pollution
- Acid reflux from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Thickening of the vocal chords
- Nodules or polyps on the vocal chords
- Muscle tension dysphonia
- Damage to the nerves that affect how the larynx functions
- Laryngeal or thyroid cancer
- Removal of larynx
- Breathing problems that affect the ability to speak
- Neurological disorders such as myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- Psychological conditions such as hysterical aphonia
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of developing aphonia include:
- Overusing your voice such as speaking until you are hoarse
- Behaviors that abuse your vocal chords, such as smoking, which also puts you at a higher risk for cancer of the larynx
- Having surgery on or around the larynx
Symptoms may include:
- Inability to speak or inability to speak above a whisper
- Hoarseness
- Spasm of vocal cords
- Throat pain
- Difficulty swallowing—food or fluids may go into the lungs
When Should I Call My Doctor?
Call your doctor if you have any of the following:
- Hoarseness that is not getting better after 2 weeks
- Complete loss of voice that lasts more than a few days
- Hard, swollen lymph nodes
- Difficulty swallowing
- Cough up blood
- A lump in your throat
- Severe throat pain
- Unexplained weight loss
When Should I Call for Medical Help Right Away?
Call for emergency medical services right away or go to the emergency room if you:
- Suddenly lose your ability to speak—This may be a sign of a head injury or a stroke.
- Are having trouble breathing
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
The cause of your symptoms may not be obvious. You may be referred to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. This doctor may use an instrument called a laryngoscope to examine your vocal cords. Other tests may also be done to evaluate your voice function.
If your doctor is concerned that there may be a neurological or psychological cause, you may be referred to other specialists.
You can take the following steps to help ease laryngitis:
- Rest your voice.
- Avoid smoking.
- Stay hydrated.
- Use a cool mist humidifier.
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
Other treatments depend on the specific cause, such as:
- Participating in voice therapy if your loss of voice is due to voice overuse
- Taking medication to control acid reflux
- Having surgery to remove growths
To help reduce your chance of aphonia:
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about ways to quit.
- If you drink, limit your intake.
- Limit your exposure to fumes and toxins.
- Avoid talking a lot or yelling.
- Avoid whispering.
- Learn vocal techniques from a voice therapist if you have to speak a lot for your job.
- Get treatment for conditions that may cause loss of voice.

As the weather in New York creeps ever warmer, the protestors of Occupy Wall Street have re-emerged, as they continue to highlight economic inequalities through the 1% versus 99% framework.
That the compensation packages of CEOs of public companies in America has exploded in the last few decades is nothing new. Viacom (VIA) CEO Phillip Dauman's 2010 compensation was worth a princely $84 million while Starbucks (SBUX) honcho Howard Schultz took home a not-too-shabby $21.7 million in the same year. Apple (AAPL) head Tim Cook's 2011 take is estimated to be about $378 million, thanks largely to a grant of restricted stock units. But what have thus far escaped public scrutiny is the salaries of leaders at non-profit firms.
It turns out that CEOs at non-profits can also sit comfortably amongst the nation's top 1% of earners, even if their salaries don't quite reach the astronomical level of Dauman's. One such CEO, highlighted in this week's Village Voice cover story, is Dr. Alan Morse, who leads the New York-based Jewish Guild for the Blind.
According to the Voice, Morse's total compensation for 2008 was $843,502 and for 2009, when the Guild was $5 million in the red, Morse raked in some $1.5 million. At least when Citigroup (C) was bleeding, CEO Vikram Pandit volunteered to take a $1 salary until the firm became profitable again. Meanwhile, a music therapist earning less than $5,000 a year at the Guild was laid off.
There's no doubt that CEOs working for non-profit firms deserve competitive salaries. Talented executives could always head to for-profit companies otherwise.
As Patty Stonesifer, chair of the Smithsonian Institution Board of Regents, explained to Slate, "There are hundreds of nonprofit CEO jobs open every year, and these organizations want to attract and retain a great leader. The cost of unexpected turnover at the top can be very high -- not only in lost productivity but in lost fundraising and, most important, in lost impact."
However, the Guild's is basically a government contractor that provides services for the blind. Should CEOs of such firms be so highly paid?
As the Voice explains, "The point of contractors, we're always hearing (even though it's often shown to be untrue), is that they'll lower costs by introducing competition. So how are they successfully lowering costs for taxpayers when their CEOs are earning more than "government CEOs" like Mayor Bloomberg ($225,000, though Bloomberg only accepts $1 of that), Governor Cuomo ($170,000), and the president of the United States?"
To be fair to Morse, CEOs in another category of non-profit firms have even more outrageous salaries. The Huffington Post reports that many leaders of non-profit interest or lobbying groups are earning big-time, seven-figure paychecks. For example, Tom Donohue, the CEO of the US Chamber of Commerce, took home $4.7 million in 2010. American Petroleum Institute CEO Jack Gerard, did even better, earning $6.4 million in the same year.

Four Bates students named Philip J. Otis Fellows
Bates College students Megan Gadsby of St. Michaels, Md.; Elizabeth Kreischer of Arlington Mass.; John Minor of Wilmington, N.C.; and Christopher Westcott of Princeton, N.J., have been named 2001 Phillip J. Otis Fellows and will each receive a $5,000 grant for research and travel to promote greater understanding of environmental issues and the connection between the environment and spirituality. The Otis Fellowships provide major funding for students with exceptional independent projects dealing with the relationship of humanity to the natural world. The projects may range from an examination of environmental policy issues to an exploration of the spiritual significance of the environment in world cultures. Otis Fellowships are funded by an endowment established by the Wurtele and Otis families, in memory of Philip J. Otis '95, a park ranger who died while still a student, attempting to rescue a hiker on Mount Rainier.
Gadsby, a sophomore, will study of the culture and agricultural traditions of organic farming in Ireland. She will combine work on several Irish farms with reading and reflection on the culture's poetry and literature.
Visiting the sites of spectacular recent forest fires in New Mexico, Idaho and Montana, Kreischer, a sophomore, will study the cultural history and the ethical issues of forest fires. The exploration of the issue will result in a photographic documentary.
Minor, a junior, will extend his off-campus study semester in Mongolia by examining land-use changes among nomadic and settled people. He will examine specifically the impact of various government-sponsored developments on traditional cultures.
Westcott, a sophomore, working in part with Peter Rogers, instructor in environmental studies at Bates College, will examine the ethical dimensions of wildlife conservation in South Africa's Kruger National Park, and the impact of both international and domestic societies on shaping conservation policy within South Africa.
Established in 1996 by Margaret V.B. and C. Angus Wurtele, the Philip J. Otis Endowment commemorates their son, Philip, a member of the Bates class of 1995. A park ranger, Otis, died attempting to rescue an injured climber on Mount Rainier in August 1995. Otis was deeply concerned about nurturing a sense of responsibility for the natural environment, and the endowment sponsors opportunities for study, exploration and reflection by students, faculty and other members of the Bates community. The endowment also supports an annual lectureship on environmental issues and the spiritual and moral dimensions of ecology.

Nats acquire infielder Cabrera, who will play second
WASHINGTON -- The Nationals solved their second-base problem by acquiring infielder Asdrubal Cabrera from the Indians for infielder Zach Walters about an hour before Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline.

WASHINGTON -- The Nationals solved their second-base problem by acquiring infielder Asdrubal Cabrera from the Indians for infielder Zach Walters about an hour before Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Washington general manager Mike Rizzo said the clubs started talking about possible trade scenarios several days ago.View Full Game Coverage
"As we worked on a couple of … [trade possibilities] … we thought this one worked out the best for us, not only from the performance of the player, but the player that was given up," Rizzo said.
The move means Cabrera will be the everyday second baseman, while Danny Espinosa will remain a reserve. Espinosa will be a defensive replacement and a pinch-runner.
Cabrera was having an average year, hitting .246 with nine home runs and 46 RBIs. He has played most of his career at shortstop. This season, he's made 14 errors. The last time he played second base was in 2009, and he has played a total of 162 games there, committing only five errors.
A two-time All-Star, Cabrera represented the Indians in the 2011 and '12 Midsummer Classics. His initial All-Star berth came in his finest offensive season, as he hit .273 and established career highs with 25 home runs, 60 extra-base hits and 92 RBIs to garner an '11 AL Silver Slugger Award. His on-field contributions twice helped Cleveland qualify for the postseason (2007, '13).
"I like that he is battle tested," Rizzo said. "He has been in the playoffs before. He has been through pennant races. He is a terrific two-way player. He is a great defensive middle infielder. He has been a terrific shortstop defensively. He played second base earlier in his career and played that outstanding. He is very balanced from both side of the plate. He is a big league hitter. We did a lot of work on his makeup and character. He fits in our clubhouse. We heard nothing but positive things about him."
Cabrera could bat in the second in the lineup as well as fifth and seventh.
"There are options there, though, with [Cabrera's] ability to hit in the two-hole and his being familiar with that spot in the lineup," manager Matt Williams said. "On any given day, we can shoot Anthony [Rendon] to the five hole if we need to. [Cabrera is hitting .462] this year in the five-hole.
"So I think there's flexibility all over there, depending on certainly any experience he has with that particular pitcher or any discrepancy we may have in our lineup in that spot. I think it's kind of flexible. But he has experience hitting in all those spots."
The Nationals made this move after learning that third baseman Ryan Zimmerman could be out for at least the regular season because of a Grade 3 hamstring injury. Rendon will continue to serve as the everyday third baseman.
In fact, Rizzo said he may not have made a trade if not for the Zimmerman injury. Zimmerman was placed on the 15-day disabled list last Wednesday after straining his hamstring while running to first base against the Rockies the previous day. He was scheduled to see the doctor Monday, but the Nationals have been mum on his health status.
"[The injury] factored into it. With a healthy Zim and a healthy eight players that we had, we wouldn't have a need to acquire a player as skillful as Cabrera," Rizzo said. "Like we said, we like the team that we have. But when Zim went down, to protect ourselves, we felt we should go out and get ourselves a good veteran person that fits into the lineup."
On Thursday, manager Matt Williams said there was no new information beside the fact that Zimmerman would "do nothing" for two weeks before the team reevaluates his condition.
Walters, meanwhile, was a utility player for the Nationals and had two Major League stints this year, going 8-for-39 (.205) with three home runs and five RBIs. He originally came over from the D-backs in a trade for right-hander Jason Marquis in 2011
"He played well coming up throughout our Minor League system," Rizzo said. "Our developers did a great job with him. The scouts recognize something in him. He is a player that has some tools, some athleticism and has strong power from both sides of the plate."

Starting Line
My most predominant gripe lately has been about the belabored march of the nostalgia trend; I love retro and I'm super annoyed it's not special anymore. A dozen years ago, you'd spot a true traditional car in a sea of billet rods and it gave you a shot of adrenaline. Today, nostalgia cars are as predictable as the billet rods and red '69 Camaros they fought to upstage. I want to be thrilled by them again.
Absent of the ability to make retro new again, I'm craving stimulation from fresh concepts. People often ask me what's the next trend HOT ROD sees coming. I had answers when the nostalgia cars first became popular, when rat rods got big, and when Pro Touring went mainstream. But all of that's been going on for a decade plus. What's next? Whenever I answer the question, some readers claim HOT ROD is trying to cram trends down their throats, but we don't make trends, we just share them. The readership makes them popular by building fresh cars in the styles that turn them on. Perhaps due to a stagnant economy, there hasn't been a lot of groundbreaking lately. But manufacturers tell us the speed-parts business is picking up, and so is car building. Which brings me circuitously to the answer about new trends: I'm seeing more street rods built in Pro Touring styles with real performance; I know of half a dozen old cars being retrofitted with all-wheel drive; the aesthetic of gutted race-car interiors is catching on; and more people are interested in Ford Coyote 5.0L engine swaps. As for retro, it's micro-niche stuff: vans keep gaining momentum, and there's more love for '70s street-freak styles.
Here's where I'm conflicted on the retro-versus-new thing. I wish new-car manufacturers would stop retreading option-package names from the '60s and come up with exciting new concepts to glorify the killer performance they've got going. At the same time, I've seen the guesstimations of what the next-gen Mustang might look like, and I don't like it—because it's not retro enough. I want it to look like a natural progression of what a Mustang should be, sort of like what Ford has been doing with tweaks to the current platform. Instead, if pundits are correct, it could be a wild departure into import styling. I recall being ushered out of Ford in '93 after a sneak peak at the SN95 for '94, when I blurted that it looked like a Celica. I hope history doesn't repeat itself.
I want old to be new again, and I want new to be new again. I'm ready for what's next in hot rodding as long as it's not off the plot. The staff says I'm just jaded. How about you?

This Month's Worst News
In late January, Ken Montgomery passed away. He was the Super Stock racer who bought a brand-new '65 Plymouth lightweight, named it the Triple Nickle, and raced it until recently.
Car I Most Wanted to Build on the Day I Wrote This
Unusual for me, I've been craving a late-model, a new Mustang GT. Not brand new, but a '12 GT—one model year before they introduced the catfish-lips grille.
I just purchased David's '67 Impala we used for last month's Paint Party cover. It's interesting to buy a car from a co-worker, especially your boss. I've refrained from calling him to ask stupid questions. Although I often find myself alone in the garage yelling, "Damn it, David!"
Right now, there's a front sway bar for an Opel GT under my coffee table, cab lights for a '68 Dodge D700 on the kitchen counter, and the chrome trim piece for a Challenger T/A hood against the wall in the hallway. That's after we cleaned up.
A few things we all learned from our time at Bondurant: 1) Thom Taylor will put you into a wall if he gets the chance; 2) Every time we put Executive Editor Julia Cyr behind the wheel, cars get sideways; 3) Travis Labella archives all the video he shoots. He's probably got blackmail material on everyone.

text: switch from dovecot to courier - possible? I am running a ISPConfig3 v. 22.214.171.124 on Debian 6 with Apache and BIND (plus dovecot), installed using Falko's perfect server how-to. Now I have the problem that dovecot makes it difficult to manipulate autoresponder messages by script, so I want to switch the mailserver to courier. Is this possible on a running server? is this as easy as removing dovecot packages and installing courier or will this break ISPC3 functionality? I also have squirrelmail installed, but I guess that one will be easy to rewire onto courier by simply reconfiguring it. correct?

I'm a UCLA graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Linguistics. I've studied a variety of foreign languages for years, and have self-taught myself a few of them, but I have never seen, and am not aware of, any other language course with such a dynamic and rapid approach to language learning. It's the only language learning regime I know of that teaches language in a "First Language Acquisition" fashion. Every other course I'm familiar with, which is quite a few, teaches in a "Second Language Acquisition" fashion. I finished all three levels of Russian in just two months, and I am reviewing Chinese (Mandarin), with all three levels of the Chinese language course. I recommend your courses, first and foremost, to anyone wanting to immerse themselves in a foreign language with the goal of learning that target language, because, being versed in linguistics myself, I can see that the designers of your courses are linguists, who are well-versed in phonetics, phonology, syntax, and semantics, the core areas of linguistics. You're the best!!!

St_Paul_Home_Croft Home Value
St_Paul_Home_Croft Home Value Calculator is a tool that allows St_Paul_Home_Croft Home owners to find the Accurate Home Value of any type of Home or Property in St_Paul_Home_Croft.
With the housing market in turmoil, it has become increasingly hard for property owners to Determine the value of a home or property themselves. Homes in the same neighborhood at times will have a 50% difference in what other services say the St_Paul_Home_Croft Home Value is. Add this to the fact that most sites that try and calculate St_Paul_Home_Croft Home Values use an outdated way of finding the value. They will use the tax value and multiply it by a modifying factor based on what other homes have sold for.
Minnesota Home Value Address Check
This is a flawed way for a company offering St_Paul_Home_Croft Home Value to find the value of a St_Paul_Home_Croft home. As you know, there are so many differences between homes, even homes that are in the same neighborhood that were built by the same builder.
Other sites have no way to know if you have updated parts of your home, or if you have added a deck, landscaped or some many other factors. They also fail to take into account if you have done work that was done without a permit or if you contested your homes value and had your tax value lowered.
If your home is a short sale, it will have a different modifier, if it is a normal sale it should have a modifier based on Home Values for other normal sales and if it is a bank owned home that has sold in the neighborhood or area, it will use a third different modifier.
Our system uses homes that are similar sale types,similar sizes and similar styles. Click on the link below to use the Free St_Paul_Home_Croft Home Value.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Big West co-champion UC Santa Barbara women's basketball team was one of the best represented in the year-end conference awards that were announced on Monday, as four Gauchos were honored by the Big West.
Emilie Johnson, who leads the team in scoring with 13.9 points per game and has nine straight double-digit scoring efforts, was named a First Team All-Big West choice. It is the third time the junior has been honored by the Big West. In 2008-09 she was a member of the All-Freshman Team and last season she was a Second Team All-Big West pick.
"Emilie is the epitome of a student athlete role model type," UCSB head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "There is no one who wants to do more to help the team win. She is the first one in the gym and the last one to leave. It's great to see her break out in the second half of conference play and to see her play with a swagger and confidence. If they say that the postseason is about guard play, we're happy to have Emilie in that position."
Mekia Valentine, who is averaging 11.0 points and 11.0 rebounds per game, was honored twice as a Second Team All-Big West choice for the second consecutive season and her shot-blocking prowess earned her the conference's Defensive Player of the Year. Valentine ranks third in the nation with 3.7 blocks per game and has UCSB's top two single-season shot blocking records.
"I cant say enough about the year Mekia has had," Gottlieb said. "I'm a little surprised she wasn't one of the top seven players in our conference, but there are a lot of terrific players in our conference. She impacts the game on both ends of the court. I've seen her dominate a game with her rebounds and defense. I'm just really excited for the way Mekia's finished her year this year."
Sweets Underwood, averaging 8.6 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, was named to the Big West Honorable Mention squad, the fourth straight season a Gaucho has been awarded on that team.
Freshman guard Nicole Nesbit, who is averaging 6.9 points in 21.1 minutes off the bench, was named to the conference's All-Freshman Team. Nesbit becomes the fifth straight Gaucho named to the conference's frosh squad.
The Gauchos (19-10 overall and 12-4 in the Big West), seeded second in the tournament, host No. 7 Pacific (8-21, 5-11) on Tuesday, March 8 in the first round of the Big West Conference Tournament. Tickets are available by calling (805) 893-UCSB or by clicking here.
The game, as all women's basketball games are, will be broadcast live on AM 990 and and online by clicking here with the pregame show starting a half-hour prior to tip-off.

Wisdom's volume On Zen Practice was conceived as the essential primer for beginning Zen practice, offering insight to every aspect of Zen training. The Hazy Moon of Enlightenment takes the reader to the next level, exploring some of the more subtle and sophisticated topics in Zen.
The first two parts of the book explore enlightenment and delusion: What is nature of enlightenement? What does it mean to describe enlightenment as sudden or gradual? What is the nature of delusion, and how can watch out for the particular delusion that masquerades as enlightenment? The third part looks at "enlightenment in action"—what it means for someone to living and acting in order with the deep wisdom of enlightenment, and how we can practice learning "learning how to be satisfied" and enjoy serenity and transquility. The final section is a moving and powerful firsthand account of one woman's solitary realization of the deepest truths—a story that can become an inspiration for all of us. The contributors to this volume include some the pioneering masters who were seminal in helping Zen take firm root in American soil.

Lamborghini Countach Power Steering Rack FOR SALE
The Lamborghini Countach Power Steering Rack, which is a part of the power steering mechanism, converts the rotational motion of the steering wheel to the linear motion needed to turn the wheels of your car. The power steering rack consists of a piston fitted inside a cylinder with two fluid hoses on either side of the piston. A hydraulic steering pump draws the steering fluid from its reservoir, pumps it down the steering shaft, and then sends it back into the reservoir. The steering column includes a torsion bar and a rotary valve which are the key components in the power-steering system. When the steering wheel is turned, the torque exerted on the wheel is transferred to the torsion bar and the rotary valve. When the valve turns, it opens the port to the steering outlet and the fluid flows into the appropriate side of the steering rack. The high-pressure fluid pushes on the piston inside the cylinder to provide the necessary power assist to turn the wheels. The steering mechanism can lose its accuracy and effectiveness due to worn out pinion gears and leaking steering fluid. If you sense a hard or stiff steering or if your vehicle seems to wander while driving straight, you should check the power steering rack for defects and replace it, if needed.
If you have issues with your Lamborghini Countach Power Steering Rack, you must replace it as soon as possible.

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia -- The lost city of Kota Gelanggi in Johor may be the unidentified temple shown in a 1000-year-old illustration of an unknown place in the region, a Cambridge University expert said.
<< RELIGIOUS PORTRAYAL: Dipamkara making a gesture of reassurance and holding a fold of his robe at his shoulder while two attendants make the gesture of explanation and hold a blue lotus in an illustration from the manuscript kept at Cambridge University.
R.C. Jamieson, Keeper of Sanskrit Manuscripts at the University of Cambridge, Britain, said the origin of the illustration which showed a former Buddha, Dipamkara, making a gesture of reassurance and holding a fold of his robe at his shoulder in a temple in Java had yet to be verified.
?However, we must bear in mind that Java then might not have been just the present island alone. At the time of The Perfection of Wisdom in 8,000 Lines (Astasahasrikaprajnaparamita) manuscript, the term encompassed Sumatra and part of the Malay peninsula.
?The manuscript states that the image was taken around 1015AD,? he said in an e-mail interview from London.
The palm-leaf manuscript got to Cambridge from Nepal and the main text was in Sanskrit, Jamieson added.
The illustration also shows two attendants who are bodhisattvas (deities) making the gesture of explanation and holding a blue lotus, among other items, while standing in a temple between some trees.
Jamieson said whether or not the illustration was that of the lost city of Kota Gelanggi, it was worth a detailed investigation.
He said: ?If they were the one and the same, it would be a fabulous discovery. If they are not, the work is still valuable and the style of the illustrated building and remains could still be very similar.?
He expressed his willingness to assist in any expedition to verify the lost city initiated by the Museum and Antiquities Department.
Jamieson said the history of such places was important in the history of religion, trade, and international contact at the time and in many other spheres.
?I feel sure something has been found and the only sensible thing is to examine it in a scholarly fashion,? he added.
A website located at www.edlis.org/pow depicts many illustrations from the book.

Natural-gas drilling EPA fracking study may dodge tough questions
Associated Press
An ongoing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study on natural-gas drilling and its potential for groundwater contamination has gotten tentative praise so far from both industry and environmental groups.
Glenn Paulson, the EPA's science adviser, describes the project as "one of the most aggressive public outreach programs in EPA history."
The final report won't come out until late 2014.
But a 275-page progress report was released in December and, for all its details, shows that the EPA doesn't plan to address one contentious issue — how often drinking-water contamination might occur.
Congress ordered the EPA to study the potential effects of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which entails blasting a mixture of water, sand and hazardous chemicals at underground shale to release the gas or oil captured in the rock.
As a gas rush surged in parts of the Marcellus Shale region that underlies Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia, concerns arose for the watershed that provides drinking water for 17 million people from Philadelphia to New York City.
For the study, the EPA is talking to experts from the industry, the environmental community and universities.
It's conducting its own research and using federal supercomputers to analyze the possibility of contamination.
In the report, the EPA describes what it is and isn't studying.
The agency also indicates its final report won't provide a measurement of the likelihood of contamination — for example, once every 100,000 wells or once every 1,000.
The industry and many federal and state officials say fracking is safe when done properly, but environmental groups and some scientists contend the risk of contamination is too great.
Earthworks, an environmental group based in Washington, said it welcomes the EPA study but has concerns with plans not to include some probability of groundwater contamination in the final report.
The EPA had planned to do both computer simulations of water contamination and actual field tests at drilling sites.
But the agency hasn't found a drilling company to partner with to test groundwater around a drilling site.
That leaves the computer simulations.
But the EPA said those won't be able to address the likelihood of contamination "occurring during actual field operations."
"In its inability to find a single company willing to test water quality before and after drilling and fracking, the EPA is being thwarted in perhaps the most important part of its study of fracking's impacts," Earthworks said in a statement.
"Computer simulations are not enough," Alan Septoff, a spokesman for Earthworks, said.
He said the EPA study and any future studies should consider the likelihood of water contamination.
The EPA did not immediately respond to requests to comment.

Furniture & Interiors Inspired by TV Shows
You might have heard by now that the sets of hit CBS show The Good Wife have inspired a range of furniture and accessories. While this is the first instance that I've heard of of TV decor making the leap into our homes, I'm not surprised by this development.
Visual inspiration is all around us these days, and it's no great leap to imagine wanting to live in the homes we visit, via our TV screens, every week. Set designer Beth Kushnick's modern-luxe interiors have gained a following of their own over The Good Wife's four seasons, and have even prompted the designer to author a blog for the network, appropriately titled The Good Look of The Good Wife. The new furniture collection is manufactured by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, and includes upholstery pieces, a desk, and several accent cushions.
For my money, I love the sets of Showtime's Homeland, especially lead character Carrie's living room. The aqua-painted brick wall, minimalist grey sofa and vibrant floral cushions make my heart sing every time I see them (as no doubt the color-coded "terrorist wall" makes Carrie's.)
What about you- do you have a favorite TV show, decor-wise? Would you buy furniture or home accessories inspired by it, or is that taking admiration a step too far?

Corinne Griffin clenched her son Collin's hand at the front door of the YMCA and watched a crowd of wet volunteers shuffling through the entrance hall with arm loads of equipment from the Apple Harvest Road Race. Her son had pre-registered for the Little Fritter Fun Runs, but they had missed it because of issues with their one year old and the torrential rains.
She was waiting for a chance to ask for a t-shirt for her son when Justin Hubeny saw them at the door. The YMCA youth program director wasn't about to let a Little Fritter down. Hubeny led them to the gym.
"It was full of people playing basketball, but Justin got them to stop. He had the kid running around the gym, and he got a standing ovation and high fives from those guys playing basketball," said Apple Harvest Road Race director John Myers. "Those are the kinds of things that make this a special event. Here's a kid that didn't even get a chance to run with everyone else, but we were able to give him an experience for a lifetime."
On Sunday, Oct. 6, Griffin might have been the only one to beat the weather as intermittent rains showered the annual Apple Harvest Road Race, but that didn't stop runners from running. Record numbers finished both road races and hundreds more braved the weather for the 2-mile walk and Little Fritter Fun Runs.
With almost 360 runners finishing the main event and the 5K field swelling over 830 runners, the 2013 race attracted more than 1,751 participants.
"I'd say that Mother Nature really can't dampen the spirit of this race," said Myers. "I was amazed at how many people signed up and showed up. It was tremendous. Usually, we get a lot of people signing up on the day of the race. That registration was down a little bit, obviously, because of the rain, but the ones that signed up certainly came."
For the third straight year Chris Rosenberg claimed the overall title. Despite conditions, Rosenberg (25:26) pared almost a full minute off of last year's time. Jim Rosenberger (26:59) finished second overall for the fourth year in a row and won the Dave Gworek Memorial Award as the fastest local man. Kelly Browning (35:03) claimed the women's title, and Jennifer Manware (36:50) was the fastest local woman.
Mark Hixson (16:49) set the pace in the men's 5K race, and Britany Henninger (19:27) won the women's title. Myers said that the times were a reflection of the work from volunteers and police.
"They were all ready for the rain, and they did a great job of keeping it a nice, safe course," he said. "The times were still good even with the rain. The 5K records were broken for both the men and the women, and they were great times. They weren't locals, but they did a good job setting new records."
This marked the first time in almost a decade that no Southington runner claimed an overall title, but local runners fared well. Southington athletes won 14 of the 23 division titles in the 5K race and scored five division titles on the five-mile course.
Myers said that the future looks bright for local runners.
"It's clear that the youth movement is alive and well in Southington," he said. "I think you'll find that the 15 or 16 year olds and younger scored something like 15 spots in the top 50 of the 5K race. The youth are definitely out there. It was like a sea of red with the DePaolo kids all wearing their red shirts out there, and that was cool. It's what we want to do. We're building a whole new generation of runners out there."
Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy (24:32) braved the weather with three state policeman and finished in the top 80 of the 5K race. Almost 140 runners in green shirts challenged the course for the Team Lauryn fundraiser. Middle school runners ran with school jerseys, and the elementary schools participated with 30 three-team relays for the second annual Y Cup competition.
"This is a great hometown race, and the amount of people watching at the finish line was incredible," said Myers. "I think that the enhancement of having it finish on Main Street was great because it added a nice festival feel at the end. We were able to have people lined up on both sides all the way down Main Street, and it was a great way to finish."
5 Mile Road Race
Chris Rosenberg edged Jim Rosenberger and Alex Dunn to defend his title in the men's race. Division winners for the men were Benjamin Carlson (11-13), Rick Criscitello (14-16), Jian Siadat (17-19), John Longo (20-29), Nicholai Dalidowitz (30-39), Mario Longo (40-49), Kevin Goehring (50-59), Steven Morse (60-69), and Lee Bradley (70-79).
Kelly Browning edged Ashley Bascetta and Tori Cronin to capture the women's title. Division winners for the women were Karolina Wneta (11-13), Emily Gray (14-16), Kaite Tsitaridis (17-19), Sarah Dombrowski (20-29), Marcie Brainerd (30-39), Jennifer Robinson (40-49), Diane Snow (50-59), and Joan LaPierre (60-69).
Rosenberger and Jennifer Manware earned the Dave Gworek Memorial Award as the fastest Southington finishers.
5K Road Race
Mark Hixson edged Nick Garcia and Scott Maxwell to win the men's title. Division winners for the men were Matthew Doherty (6-7), Grayson Boria (8-10), Matt Garry (11-13), James Wagner (14-16), Joseph Pappalardo (17-19), Dave Doherty (20-29), Daisuke Inokawa (30-39), Gary Bolduc (40-49), Tim Kelly (50-59), Bob McCusker (60-69), Bill Borla (70-79), and Robbie Logan (Over 80).
Hatton Elementary School runners Darius Mangiafico, Jackson Gilroy, and Jack McManus combined for the fastest time in the 5th grade boys competition to claim the Y Cup. Plantsville Elementary School runners Michael Fusciello, Eric Orsini, and Ryan Salzillo won the Y Cup for the fourth grade boys.
Brittany Heninger beat Melissa Cummings and Marisa Matthews to score the women's title. Division winners for the women were Emma Talon (6-7), Morgan Hubert (8-10), Isabella Scalise (11-13), Erin Angelillo (14-16), Stephanie O'Keefe (17-19), Nicole Verderame (20-29), Caitlin Grant (30-39), Laura Summers (40-49), Kathy Shaughessy (50-59), Dawn Werneck (60-69), and Jeannette Cyr (70-79).
Derynoski runners Alexah Zacynski, Makena Dlugos, and Jolie Leavitt won the Grade 5 girls Y Cup, while Plantsville Elementary School runners Maia Vat, Nina Muir, and Melaina Coleman won the fourth grade girls competition.
Erin Angelillo captured the Chris Sanchez Award as the top finisher among SHS soccer players.

The Invitation
It is a well known fact that all water bodies want to pull you in. Whether it's the spirits of the drowned and dead or man's aquatic past beckoning him back to its watery fold nobody knows but we all have sometime or the other felt that seductive tug from which only the most horrible thoughts of a water logged death saved us. This is the story of my experience with that tug.
My name is Vardhan Pradhan. I was working as an H.R. Manager at a call center in Mumbai, having the time of my life. I was 26, making money and living it up in my own bubble consisting of my call center buddies, pubs , nights out and what I delicately call my transient amorous entanglements. It was with great reluctance that I accepted the invitation (read orders, by mom) to attend a distant cousin's wedding in Varanasi, U.P. Isn't it strange that we all have relatives in U.P we haven't heard about but who never forget to invite you to their weddings? So I took the train from V.T. station and settled in for a boring voyage across half of India to the land that boasts of The Ganges as its mother Goddess.
There is something about traveling by train that sets my nerves on edge with the anticipated boredom but makes up for it in the vistas visible and alternative lives imagined in those unending plains, undulating hills and yawning caverns. And then there are the rivers; You are either a dead man or a blind one if you've never felt like peeking out of your window into a snaking blue water-body below the bridge your train is passing through and don't feel a pang of loss when the river passes you by and you are left again to look at sun-baked land.
The Ganges found me sitting on the doorstep of the bogey and smoking a cigarette. Well it is huge; a force of nature. One of the largest rivers in the world, it lives up to its reputation. If majesty were liquid, it would look like The Ganges; breathtaking, cigarette dropping. I saw my cigarette fall through the slats on the bridge into the river and become invisible before hitting water.
Oh and it takes time to cross its breadth even on a high speed train. You have time to smile with indulgent amusement at the sounds of aarti emanating from the general boogie, like a city slicker must. You have time to light a new cigarette or die trying in the oncoming wind from the open door. You have time to peek outside while doing this and notice that the end of the bridge is in sight and the crisscross truss wall is missing for the last fifty meters or so.
What you don't get time for is to prepare when Ganges calls for you, when the voice of authority in the uniform of a ticket checker startles you into dropping your cigarette yet again and turning around in blind panic for the fear of a Rs.3000 fine for smoking in the train and holding the bogey door to steady yourself which promptly shuts itself in your face.
Take time off reading and imagine the picture: The door has closed on you. You are out of the human world of trains and ticket checkers and you're falling out of the bridge across the missing crisscross walls straight into the ice blue world of a mythical river goddess. You think you're falling straight down but you still have the forward momentum from the train and you're also flying towards the rocks on the banks of the great river. Either you'll suffocate in the depths of an ancient life force or you'll splatter your entrails on the implacable façade of an equally ancient rock wall.
It happened like a dream, it felt pleasant, almost. Like flying parallel to a train. The aarti was unhindered by my pleasant misfortune. Only the ticket checker knew the fate that had befallen me.
Fun fact#122: If you pull the chain, it won't stop on a bridge.
Fun fact#123: Even if it did, fat lot of good it'd do me.
But I digress, after falling through the bridge I was feeling like Superman, perhaps because I was belly down with my arms extending in front of me as if my flight was entirely my own idea. The rock façade was moving like floors do when you're on a transparent lift going downwards, albeit one unhooked from its motor. It was also coming dangerously close for comfort even for a guy feeling like Superman. Then I was in a huge hole, and not just metaphorically.
Thanks to industrialization I had landed up in a liquid waste canal just a little above water level. It must have been connected to a huge Industrial gutter in the production industry SEZ just outside of Varanasi. Not that these acute observations occurred to me then. I was nauseated, disoriented and vaguely relieved to be broken, dazed and dizzy instead of dead. Instead of taking stock I decided to turn over and rest awhile. I rather deserved it… and needed it. More than I ever knew.

No Movie Review Here(I Promise)
He: Dude, you saw "teen chutiye"?
Me: Nope, didn't get time.
He: Man you gotta watch it.
Me: Yeah sure, will watch if I don't get a blow by blow account by everyone who fancies himself a critic.
He : But dude this one is totally path-breaking, an expose of the rotten to the core education system that churns out human robots to do the menial work of foreign corporations.
Me: Yeah and where do you work right now?
He: But I hate my software company.
Me: So why don't you quit and start a Moroccan restaurant or something?
He: The system dude, the system, anyways there's this cool dude Bhencho who stands up to the whole education system.
Me: And no doubt delivers impassioned speeches that totally rock the balls off the nutty professors.
He: Kinda, but that's not the point, I feel I totally identify with Bhencho.
Me: In that he's short and weird?
He: In that he's innovative and irreverent.
Me: Dude your boss is behind your back.
He: OMFG! I have to deliver a code by today evening.
Me: Stay loose, he went with his wife to watch "teen chutiye".
He: So I was saying I identify with Bhencho because I was like that when I was a student. Ah! those were the days. I could have been the next Einstein or something man, before the vortex of mediocrity swallowed me.
Me: Yeah but still you must have some creativity still left even after the your professors and the stupid assignments tried to beat it out of you.
He: Yeah I do, I have a blog named named "Lame Thoughts Of A Tame Mind". I write my memoirs on it for posterity.
Me: I am sure it must be swamped by enamoured fans world over.
He: Forget it man, so our education system, those stupid professors, they dont know shit from shinola.
Me: Exactly, dude could you solve this Fourier Transform for me?
He: Zooby Dooby Zooby Dooby Pa Pa Ra...

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech (6-14, 4-5 OVC) took the first match of its three-match homestand against Jacksonville State last Friday and will look to continue its winning ways against first-place Morehead State and second-place Eastern Kentucky.
"I think our team is more upbeat after that win against Jacksonville State," head coach John Blair said. "We got off to a slow start this season but we have figured things out and have found the right formula to win. We just need to keep the amount of errors down and keep applying pressure to the teams we're facing."
The Golden Eagles start the weekend as they host the Eagles of Morehead State Friday at 7 p.m. Tech is 17-49 all-time against the Eagles, but is 2-2 over the last two seasons including a 3-0 sweep. MSU currently sits atop the OVC with a 16-7 overall record and a 9-1 OVC record.
"I expect Morehead will be refocused after their loss," Blair said. "They'll try to prevent another slip up like they had against Austin Peay last Friday. We have to go right out and get them."
TTU concludes the weekend against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels who enter the weekend owners of an 8-11 overall record and a 7-3 OVC mark, which ties Austin Peay for second in the conference race. The Golden Eagles are 19-44 all-time against EKU including a 3-1 loss earlier this season. During the two previous years, however, Tech posted a 3-1 record against the Colonels including a pair of sweeps. The opening serve is scheduled for Saturday at 2 p.m.
"Eastern Kentucky got off to a slow start like us but they have figured out what they needed to do to get in the win column," Blair said.
"The great thing about our conference is that the second half of the season is just as open as the first," Blair continued. "Any team can still put together a good run and make the OVC tournament."

text: Markus, Because people ask for polling latency (it is not the right model for most real applications), we did provide this number. We have found almost universal advantage to avoid polling MPI in almost all networks, including Ethernet+TCP Giganet, and Myrinet. As usual, we did non-polling first, then people asked to see these sub-ten microsecond numbers to take the IB seriously, even though their apps will mostly likely be faster in the non-polling mode, and I believe significantly so (as we have seen before). Our white paper shows the polling and non-polling implementation curves for bandwidth. We normally encourage people not to use polling mode, where overhead is low. We have more data on same coming. So far, the non-polling latency is a bit higher than giganet was. 30us + right now. [Because 30us represents a lot of data bit times, we like this to be lower. We had 25us or so on Giganet a while ago. Yet, I am confident that HCA/stack issue is going to get optimized more, from public indications of the companies we talk to in IB space.] We continue to update this white paper bi-weekly, as we get new data. We will do more to clarify overhead for long transfer moving forward than we have so far. Here is URL http://www.mpi-softtech.com/company/publications/files/prog_ib_2003-02-13.pdf There is no PIO per se in our model. There is always DMA. We do work to do lazy unpinning (like Myrinet does), and we do - as with Giganet - look at the tradeoff of pinning cost vs. buffering on each side. Since we are wanting low overhead for longish messages and overlapping, we do true zero copy for same, and we do asynchronous progress and we do non-polling completion. The next release will mention how we go to 8.7us (e.g., you guve multithreaded MPI support, etc), as we cut back to deliver this familiar metrics. The best thing - and we are supporting it on early testbeds - is to get real applications run on IB at scale. It is important to note that production-level hardware and MPI are just shipping now/next month, IB has not really been out till March-April time frame of this year.

Yeah, Ford is a good PG that should start for most teams in the NBA. It's just that they play better when Calderon is on the court.
Actually, if I were the Raptors GM, I'd look to re-sign Calderon and trade Ford for a good SF/SG (but only for a good one... it'd be no salary dump. Only to improve the team). They'd be better off with a more balanced team, and Ford is a pretty valuable guy around the league.

Kansas City, MO – Cinco de Mayo and Chihuahuas in costume is a perfect fit. That was proven last year by the world-wide response to Kansas City's attempt to break The Guinness Book of World Records for "Most Dogs In Costume." Kansas City is getting ready to dress up the dogs and do it again.
Allis Plaza will be the spot for the May 5th event. "It is
the perfect Downtown venue,"
says promoter, Mark Valentine. "There is lots of parking. There is
plenty of green space. The setting will be a great backdrop for all the
crazy pictures of dogs in costume."
Annual Chihuahua Parade is sublimely ridiculous, but it has a serious
goal to make Kansas City a No-Kill Community. The $5 entry fee per dog
all goes to The Great Plains SPCA who just opened their second shelter
in the Metro area.
are the oldest companion dog in The Americas. Not only do they predate
The Mayans, now they have survived the end date of that famous calendar.
dogs in costume are welcome. The Guinness World Record is not breed
specific, but there will be a vet on site to verify that they are all
dogs. Last year there was at least one pig in costume. St. Louis holds
the Guinness record with 1,326.
entrants will receive something. A larger prize package is being
assembled for the winning costumed Chihuahua. When you register in
advance, you will receive a number in The Chihuahua Parade and all the
information you need. Organizers ask that you arrive by 11am for the
Parade at Noon. Live music from Valentine and The Knights will keep the
Cinco de Mayo event going until late afternoon.
Kansas City Chihuahua Parade begs for
a World Record a No- Kill Community.

Visiting Scholars Lecture Series: 2007
Fall 2007
Bryan Wittine, Ph.D. The Dark Night of the Soul: Psychological and Spiritual Perspectives
The term "dark night of the soul" was used by Christian contemplative St. John of the Cross to describe periods of intense suffering in which mystics feel that God has abandoned them and that their inner life of prayer has collapsed. In contemporary depth psychology, the term is sometimes used to describe periods that are central to the journey of individuation. During these periods old ego-identifications break down and old values no longer hold true. Losses of loved ones, illnesses, and career setbacks are ways such periods might begin. Very often, however, dark nights have no apparent cause. In the midst of great achievement and success we begin to feel dissatisfied, empty, meaningless, purposeless, lost, alone in a wilderness. There is no life, no growth. Something essential is missing. We gradually come to realize that there is nothing we can do to improve our lot. We cannot get ourselves moving. We have to wait … and wait … Through this process we become increasingly aware of our source and dependence on the Self, our deep center of being and awareness.
During this seminar we review parallels between experiences of the mystics and contemporary individuals. If we honor these periods as times for opening to our deepest longings, we might come to appreciate life's greater meanings and find a more fulfilling relationship with Mystery.
Bryan Wittine, Ph.D., M.F.T., is an analyst-member of the C. G, Jung Institute of San Francisco in private practice in Marin County and San Francisco. He is co-founder and former academic chair of the graduate program in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology at John F. Kennedy University. He is currently writing on depth psychotherapy as a path of inner realization.
Maureen Murdock, M.A. Making Meaning of Myth and Memoir
Memoirists are our contemporary mythmakers. The popularity of memoir in our culture today reflects the universal desire to find meaning in the mystery of our lives and to understand our unconscious choices, actions, and dreams. Myth owes its longevity to its power to express typical human emotions that have been experienced throughout successive generations. Memoir owes its popularity to its ability to portray these same enduring feelings in a contemporary individual's life. Both myth and memoir arise from the human need for connection. Myths use symbols and gods and goddesses to explore such themes as heroism, betrayal, the search for the mother/father and the beloved. Memoirs explore the very same themes in the stories of our every day lives. We will use the myth of Demeter and Persephone as a lens to explore the mythic themes in our own lives. Please come prepared to write.
This seminar includes discussion of mythic themes and of the elements of memoir writing, and includes writing exercises to begin the process of writing memoir.
Maureen Murdock, M.A., M.F.T., is a depth psychotherapist and past Chair of the MA Counseling Psychology Program at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara. She teaches in the Depth Psychology Program at Sonoma State University and has taught in the UCLA Extension Writers' Program for the past 17 years, where she received the Outstanding Teacher Award in 1995. She has written a memoir about her mother's struggle with Alzheimer's—Unreliable Truth: On Memoir and Memory—which is also a reflection on the nature of memoir writing. She is the author of three internationally published books: The Heroine's Journey; Fathers' Daughter: Breaking the Ties that Bind; and Spinning Inward: Using Guided Imagery with Children. Murdock is the editor of Monday Morning Memoirs: Women in the Second Half of Life.
Spring 2007
David Tresan, M.D. Amor and Psyche Revisited
Amor and Psyche is a myth that appears in the earliest extant novel in the western world (145 A.D.). In his book Metamorphoses, subtitled the Golden Ass by Augustine 200 hundred or so years later, Apuleius, the author, relates the tale of Amor and Psyche as an entertainment, a pacifier, as it were, told by a babysitting Crone to distract and quiet a crying girl whose caravan has been hijacked by a band of bandits and ensconced in a hidden cave. How is he, Apuleius, privy to this scene? He, himself, is the protagonist of his own book, a picaresque novel in which he visits the various religious activities found in the Mediterranean basin in the 2nd c. AD. In this particular episode, ensorcelated and transformed into an ass by a witch, Apuleius witnesses the happenings in the cave as a silent beast.
So much for the setting and framework of the tale. Told seemingly as a sop for the imagination, certainly not given the fanfare and gravity of a serious Platonic myth meant to convey universal truths, this charming story was taken most seriously nonetheless by Eric Neumann as a disquisition on the development of the feminine. His telling of the tale and his commentary stand as a classical example of Jungian archetypal research.
The hope in this seminar is to examine the tale ourselves, to test Neumann's thesis, but more importantly to see what more may be found not so much concerning the development of the feminine but concerning the development of psyche itself, for, as will be seen, the story marks the turn, once and for all, from the mind and life of antiquity to that of modernity. At the same time, the nature and function of myth itself will be a matter of interest.
David Tresan, M.D. is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Mill Valley and San Francisco. His abiding interest lies in the history of ideas and science, the evolution of consciousness, the psychology of the transcendent, and, most importantly, clinical work. He has recently written on religion, neuroscience, and aging in various reviews and papers. This New Science of Ours; A More or Less Systematic History of Consciousness and Transcendence appeared in two parts in the Journal of Analytic Psychology (2004).
James Preston, Ph.D. Death and the Transformation of Consciousness
At the core of religious experience is the confrontation with mortality. Every religious tradition addresses the wound of death by weaving a tapestry of hope to counter a profound sense of loss. Every culture orchestrates the process of grief differently, providing rituals and ceremonies intended to heal the torn fabric, the chaos that death unleashes in our ordered worlds.
This seminar is intended to elicit the symbolic dimension of the death experience and to explore the many ways in which the encounter with death can bring about a profound transformation of consciousness. A variety of mystical traditions have employed the death metaphor to provide a way into higher levels of consciousness. The seminar will draw on insights gleaned from a cross-cultural and comparative study of death symbolism and the rich literature on near death experiences. Particular attention will be given to an understanding of the American way of death as it has evolved in the early part of the new millennium.
James Preston, Ph.D. has taught for over thirty years in the State University of New York as Professor of Anthropology and Chair of the Religious Studies Program, and is the author of numerous books and articles in symbolic anthropology and religious studies. He has conducted fieldwork on Hinduism in India and among Native American Catholic populations in the United States and Canada. Dr. Preston is particularly interested in the interface between psychology and anthropology and the nature of religious experience.
Jacqueline Thurston, M.A. Sacred Images from Ancient Egypt
"Thousand of years ago in ancient Egypt, feminine deities in concert with divine masculine figures governed the cosmic mysteries of life and death."
In the spring of 2006, I spent four months living and working in Egypt as a Fulbright Scholar. This seminar gathers together photographs, writing and insights into provocative figures from the cosmology of ancient Egypt. The deities within this pantheon are startling complex in their symbolic form and metaphorical content. In part, my presentation explores how the sacred feminine is inextricably intertwined with the sacred masculine. Because I had access, granted by the Supreme Council of Antiquities, to tombs rarely opened to the public, some images have not been reproduced in classic texts. Within the context of the presentation, there will be an opportunity for journal writing explorations. Finally, in the spirit of the philosophy underlying the Fulbright exchange, I would also like to share stories of my encounters with university students and with individual Egyptians who befriended me and made my entry from modern Egypt into Egypt's past possible.
Jacqueline Thurston, M.A., is an artist, writer and Professor of Art at San Jose State University where she taught for decades a graduate seminar, Image As Icon, that explored memories and dreams as potential sources for works of art. Professor Thurston is twice the recipient of National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships and is a former Fulbright Scholar. Her work is in major public collections including the Library of Congress, SMOMA, the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Bibliotheque Nationale. She has an interest in the interface between art and psychology and has given many presentations on the nature of the creative process from an artist's perspective to psychoanalytic societies including the C.G. Jung Institute, the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute, the American Institute of Medical Education and the International Federation for Psychoanalytic Education.

There's a growing population of gorgeous 'tween starlets whose style puts our 14-year-old scrunchie-wearing selves to utter shame: Elle Fanning, Hailee Steinfeld, and most recently Chloe Moretz, whose red carpet finesse is all the more unbelievable in light of the recent revelation that she doesn't use a stylist.
The Kick-Ass star is a total pro at rocking age-appropriate--and fashion-forward--looks on the red carpet, but she recently confirmed to Hollywood Life that she goes the Blake Lively route and dresses herself! "Lately I've been so impressed with her style choices, which is why I reached out to speak to her stylist — and I was shocked when her reps confirmed that the teen actually doesn't work with anyone!" the site says.
She's definitely a natural in the style department. We've seen her in everything from Miu Miu and Stella McCartney to Chanel (above), and even when she's doing the casual thing in shorts and flats, she adds an effortless sense of chic.
I don't know about you dolls, but I'm so impressed with her style choices, especially for a 14-year-old. What do you think? Do you like how Chloe manages to be both demure enough for her age and fashion-forward enough for major red carpets? Were any of you that chic in your adolescence? Which of her looks is your favorite? Discuss!

Is Paperless A Joke?
This is not a joke. It can be done. In fact there is no reason why it shouldn't be done. We hold on to paper because we like the certainty of having it in our hands and being able to feel documents. It seems impersonal to pull up a file on your computer, magnify it, drag it around and then close it, but paper... Paper is there. It's in your face, a constant reminder of what you know.
We use excuses all the time about why we use paper, but we know, from our research that it doesn't last forever. It can be easily destroyed by any number of things, but we still cling to it like it is the be all/end all.
If you haven't guessed, I had a bit of slip, almost, this weekend, where I seriously considered printing out 38 pages of Civil War Pension file documents i found on fold3.com for my 4th great grandmother, Edna (RICHARDSON) BABBIDGE. Her husband Erastsus died of dysentary in Louisiana and left her with a number of very small children to care for... Ok, off topic a little there.
The point is, why do I want to print paper? What is bringing me back there? The documents are clearly already online at fold3.com so.. that's one place. I have them saved to my harddrive, so I have them there. They are also on a flash drive so I can bring them around with me during research.. so... I have 3 accessible copies of these documents, yet I still wanted to print them out and put them in a binder.
Glad to say I didn't do it, but I have to ask myself. What's wrong with me? Am I afraid of losing this information. Do I just not trust technology (which would be a shame, given that's sort of my job...) What draws me... us... back to paper?
4 comments:
I think one answer could be that physical copies remind us of what we know. My genealogy is mostly digital, and sometimes I find myself worrying that I've discovered something, and made a note of it in a file, and then forgotten to follow up on it, and who knows when I'll stumble across that file? The same thing could happen with paper, really, but I guess it feels like with paper you can see everything in front of you at once?ReplyDelete
So maybe the answer to that is just a better organisational system. I'm still early in the process of trying to find the ideal system, but maybe finding that system would make paper irrelevant.
I find your blog really inspiring on this topic!
I agree Lianne. I think there is something comforting in knowing you can literally put your hands on something. And for sure its easier to spread out 5 or 6 pages on a table and cross reference things if you are trying to work through an issue than looking at the same 506 pages on a single computer screen. But there are lots of ways to cross reference things with files (if you do it right, its probably more efficient than paper since you can create links between docuemnts, etc).ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to read. I'm deep in the process of really setting some of this stuff up now, so I hope to have some more "How To" type posts shortly. It's been interesting to start thinking about how to make this transformation happen and what technologies I'll be using. Now that it's coming together I'm getting more and more excited :)
Yep - I guess I don't trust technology...at least when I am at the helm. :-)ReplyDelete
Theresa (Tangled Trees)
Since I grew up before computers I think my brain is just wired the paper. Often I will attempt to do a project just using digital files but end up printing them out so I can make notes and shuffle the papers around.ReplyDelete
I keep trying and look forward to your advice.

In a "Where are they now?" feature interview for Sports Illustrated, Dennis Rodman said there would be "something seriously wrong" if he isn't considered for the next Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in North Korea.
"My mission is to break the ice between hostile countries. Why it's been left to me to smooth things over, I don't know. Dennis Rodman, of all people," the former Basketball star told the magazine.
"Keeping us safe is really not my job," he added. "It's the black guy's [President Obama's] job. But I'll tell you this: If I don't finish in the top three for the next Nobel Peace Prize, something's seriously wrong."
Rodman, 52, befriended North Korea's Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un during a visit he made to the country.
"Before I landed in Pyongyang, I didn't know Kim Jong-un from Lil' Kim," Rodman said. "I didn't know what country he ruled or what went on in the country he ruled."
He claims the two bonded over a mutual love for basketball and referred to the dictator as a "friend for life."
