December 31, 2004
goodbye 2004
It is still the 31st of December in Hawaii, but it is already in 2005 where I am right now. I just wanted to thank everyone who have taken their time to take a look (and read) what I post, and wish all of you and yours a very nice new year - 2004 was hit by disasters and sad things, in the world and to me personally, but I do really hope that the new year will be a happier one to all of us.
In Japan, it is a tradition to have soba (buckwheat) noodle at the end of the year to salute the old year and welcome the new one. My family actually didn't do it very much, but I now enjoy doing it myself - it sure gives me the feeling of end-of-the-year, exciting but nostalgic atmosphere.

Hello all, java noob here.
Now I'm going through the book and it is going well so far, however, one thing I just don't understand is how to create an object.
For example, say I want to make an object about squares.
The syntax would be,
Squares squares = new Squares();
When I make a program with this format, I will get error messages saying
cannot find symbol
symbol: class Squares
location: class (whatever the class would be)
Note this isn't an actual example from a program I have written, just an example I made up with the same error messages.

General Practice Residency (GPR)
Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) Programs (2016-2017)
Co-Sponsored by the University of Alabama School of Dentistry and The University of Alabama Hospital
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Birmingham, Alabama
The General Practice Residency (GPR) and the Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) merged in July of 2000 to form a single program known as the General Dental Residency (GDR). This is a two-track program with a GPR track with four 4 residents and an AEGD track with 2 residents. Both programs share clinical facilities, have the same auxiliary staff, utilize the same attending faculty and share didactic lectures. All 6 GDR residents rotate in OMFS for 6 weeks divided into two three week rotations; Emergency Medicine for 2 weeks; 2 weeks in Otolaryngology; 1 week in Radiation/Oncology and have a 1 week elective rotation in a medical or dental specialty. The 4 GPR track residents rotate in Anesthesia for 2 weeks and the AEGD track residents rotate in Pediatric Dentistry for 2 weeks. We believe this merger emphasizes the strengths of both programs – comprehensive general dentistry on patients with complex medical histories. A second year in either program is offered each year for one resident. At the successful completion of the GDR program each resident will receive either a GPR certificate or an AEGD certificate depending upon the track selected.
The General Dental Residency (GDR) Program is a postdoctoral educational program designed to provide essential skills, attitudes, and abilities related to the contemporary practice of advanced general dentistry, with emphasis on total patient care. The program provides the recent graduate the opportunity to augment his/her knowledge of oral disease and his/her diagnostic and therapeutic skills in dentistry. Treatment of oral disease in the medically complex patient and/or hospitalized patient is emphasized. A private practice environment is maintained throughout the program to assist the recent dental school graduate in the transition from academics to "real world dentistry".
Goals and Objectives
The formal goals and objectives are:
- Provide high quality comprehensive general dental care and resident education that is beyond that achieved as an undergraduate for healthy and medically compromised patients, integrating all phases of dentistry in providing that care.
- Make sound decisions in examination, diagnosis, treatment and planning and decision-making during the course of patient treatment, incorporating good patient and staff management principles.
- Act as the primary dental care provider for healthy and medically compromised patients; coordinate the service of dental specialists and other health care professionals.
- Function efficiently in a hospital setting, providing care for individuals with complex medical and social backgrounds.
- Understand the oral health needs of communities and engage in community service.
- Demonstrate the application and principles of ethical reasoning, ethical decision making and professional responsibility as they pertain to the academic environment, patient care and practice management.
Specific Program Objectives

Residency Program
Program Length:
The GDR Program co-sponsored by the University of Alabama-Birmingham School of Dentistry and the UAB Hospital consists of 12 months of advanced dental education in clinical dentistry, and is conducted primarily within a hospital environment. An optional second GPR or AEGD year is available on a competitive basis. This latter position is generally limited to one position per year and is dependent upon qualifications.
Optional Second Year Goals and Objectives:
GOAL 1: Act as a Primary Health Care Provider at a level more advanced than a GPR/AEGD Level 1 resident.
Provide multidisciplinary comprehensive dental care to a wide variety of patients by pursuing training in advanced dental clinical fields of interest including but not limited to:
- Implant Dentistry
- Prosthodontics
Goal 2: Obtain more advanced didactic training in both medicine and dentistry.
They will be offered graduate level courses in the following areas:

- Postgraduate Oral Pathology
- Advanced Treatment Planning
Goal 3: Complete medical/dental rotations not offered to Level 1 residents.
These may include:
- Postdoctoral Periodontology
- Postdoctoral Endodontics
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Internal Medicine
Goal 4: The Level 2 resident will assume more administrative responsibility in the administration of a GPR/AEGD residency.
Goal 5: The Level 2 resident will gain experience in the academics of dentistry.
These experiences will include:
- Lecturing to predoctoral dental students in Dental Therapeutics.
- Lecturing to predoctoral dental students in Medical Emergencies.

Note: In pursuing these objectives the Level 2 resident will not repeat Level 1 rotations and academic courses. It is anticipated the Level 2 resident will spend 15% more time delivering clinical dental care. Each Level 2 resident in conjunction with the program director will tailor this Level 2 year to his/her interests
Program Dates:
The 2017-2018 the program begins July 1st and concludes June 30th. In general, entering residents are required to report either June 19 or 20 for UAB Hospital orientation and help in patient transition.
1. University Hospital Dental Clinic (GPR/AEGD)..........35 Weeks
Residents spend approximately 35 weeks at the University Hospital Dental Clinic (UHDC) where the majority of time is spent providing hands-on patient treatment. The 35 weeks are spread out during the entire year to assure continuity of care. During this time residents gain a wide variety of experiences by providing complex dental treatment for both hospitalized and ambulatory patients. The concept of comprehensive care is stressed, with an emphasis on considering the "whole" patient. Opportunities exist for providing comprehensive dental care, including fixed and removable prosthodontics (implant restoration), rotary endodontics, periodontics (implant placement), oral surgery, and advanced esthetic operative dentistry. Residents also gain extensive experience in evaluating hospital patients and providing dental consultations.
2. Oral Surgery (GPR/AEGD)..........6 Weeks
During the 6-7 week oral surgery rotation, residents perform numerous outpatient oral surgery procedures at the Oral Surgery Clinic located in the School of Dentistry. Routine and complex exodontia, pre-prosthetic surgery, and conscious sedation techniques are emphasized. During two weeks the residents will participate in the care of hospitalized oral surgery patients. The three-week rotations are scheduled evenly throughout the year to allow for comprehensive care of restorative patients.

This one-week rotation is completed in the second half of the year. Options include all of the specialty areas of dentistry, hospital departments or medical specialties and subspecialties. The resident is assigned to this area full or part time for the one week session. The elective must be approved at least one month prior to the scheduled rotation by both the GDR Program Director and a person responsible for the resident's supervision during the elective. This rotation is usually taken during the last three months of the residency year.
Formal postgraduate courses taken with other post-graduate dental students include Physical Diagnosis, Conscious Sedation, and Dental Management of the Medically Complex Patient. A portion of most Thursday mornings is set aside for resident seminars that range from formal lectures to treatment planning sessions. At these sessions other issues are discussed relating to the clinic practice (scheduling, emergencies, etc.). All GDR residents, including those on rotation, are required to attend these sessions. Space permitting, continuing education courses offered by the School of Dentistry are available for a minimal fee to postgraduate students. Approximately 30 courses are offered each year at UAB. The 2013-2014 didactic year is attached to this prospectus.

Summary View help for Summary
The 1940 Census Public Use Microdata Sample Project was assembled through a collaborative effort between the United States Bureau of the Census and the Center for Demography and Ecology at the University of Wisconsin. The collection contains a stratified 1-percent sample of households, with separate records for each household, for each "sample line" respondent, and for each person in the household. These records were encoded from microfilm copies of original handwritten enumeration schedules from the 1940 Census of Population. Geographic identification of the location of the sampled households includes Census regions and divisions, states (except Alaska and Hawaii), standard metropolitan areas (SMAs), and state economic areas (SEAs). Accompanying the data collection is a codebook that includes an abstract, descriptions of sample design, processing procedures and file structure, a data dictionary (record layout), category code lists, and a glossary. Also included is a procedural history of the 1940 Census. Each of the 20 subsamples contains three record types: household, sample line, and person. Household variables describe the location and condition of the household. The sample line records contain variables describing demographic characteristics such as nativity, marital status, number of children, veteran status, wage deductions for Social Security, and occupation. Person records also contain variables describing demographic characteristics including nativity, marital status, family membership, education, employment status, income, and occupation.

The data files are arranged by subsample, with each subsample stored as a separate physical file of information. Within each of the 20 subsamples, records are sequenced by state. Extracting all of the records for one state entails reading through all of the 20 physical files and selecting that state's records from each of the 20 subsamples.
The collection consists of a total of 2,133,800 hierarchical records: 391,034 household records, 391,034 sample line records, and 1,351,732 person records.
Sample View help for Sample
The 1940 Census had both a complete count and a sample component. Individuals selected for the sample component were asked an additional set of questions. Only households with persons who answered the additional questions were included in the public use microdata sample. The collection also contains records of group quarters members who were also on the Census sample line. The 20 subsamples were selected randomly.

HARD WORK: Tim Bradley is already in shape for Manny Pacquiao for their rematch on April 12 at the MGM Grand, and his trainer Joel Diaz says his fighter will have to be knocked out to lose. File Photo
Diaz says Tim Bradley will hurt Pacquiao
Joel Diaz, trainer of WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley, is very happy with his fighter's ongoing training camp for the rematch with Manny Pacquiao, taking place on April 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao will look to avenge a 2012 controversial twelve round split decision loss.
"Bradley is looking very sharp. The big difference is that now Bradley walks around at 155 pounds and that has allowed us to focus on the fight and the strategy. The last time with Pacquiao, and with Ruslan Provodnikov and Juan Manuel Marquez – [Bradley] had risen to 185 pounds. This time he is walking around at under 160 pounds, and that's very important," said Diaz.
"We know it will be a tough fight, but this time [we're looking to win things clearly]. Pacquiao's only chance is if he knocks Bradley out, but that won't be easy. What I am sure of is that if it does not [knock Bradley out], then Bradley is going to hurt him."
WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-0, 12 KO's) will meet for the second time with one of boxing's biggest stars and currently number 2 in the world best pound for pound Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO's) in a fight televised by HBO from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Since his election as a congressman in his native country, Pacquiao has become a busy man in and out of the ring. Some say that because he has become politically active he has somehow become passive in the ring, the ferocious Manny of the past has softened.
Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach has complained that in recent matches Pacquiao has avoided or ignored his instructions to go for a knockout.
By not finishing earlier matches as he supposed to he has allowed the judges to decide the verdict.
But many felt in his last fight with Bradley the judges can made a mistake and gave the decision to Bradley.
However, Pacquiao in recent reports has been preparing for the fight harder than ever. Roach and his team want to make sure that Pacquiao will be at his very best and most importantly going for the kill when he must.
Tim Bradley cannot be underestimated but neither can be the judges opinion. To save stress and other problems Pacquiao has to go for the kill this time.

Coming up soon: Humanities/Disability Services lecture
Join the Departments of Disability Services and the Humanities when they present a lecture titled "Joice Heth and Jim Crow: The Dual Stigma of Race and Disability in Antebellum America," Wednesday, November 20, at 2:00 p.m. in Franklin Hall 110.
The presentation will be made by Dea Boster, Ph.D., instructor in the Humanities, who will discuss the layers of meaning that were ascribed to race and disability in nineteenth-century United States. As the notoriety of Joice Heth and Jim Crow spread throughout the nation, so did discussions and portrayals of disabled slaves. Many nineteenth-century writings associated physical and mental disabilities with weakness and dependence, immorality, dishonor, and the grotesque, and these associations influenced the "dual stigma" of race and disability. The lecture is free and open to the public.

text: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 IFC Aims to Promote Physical Activity Opportunities for Students With Disabilities Despite the benefits of physical activity, individuals with disabilities are not getting the same amount of activity and athletic opportunities as individuals without disabilities, says a new publication based on the proceedings of the Strategic Planning Policy Conference on Physical Activity for Students with Disabilities, which took place June 21-22. The publication promotes awareness of the importance of physical activity for people with disabilities, advocates for physical activity across the spectrum of disabilities, develops policies that are responsive to the needs of people with disabilities, and creates resources that are helpful for program development. Physical Activity and Sport for People with Disabilities also contains an integrated strategic plan for the Inclusive Fitness Coalition (IFC) to advance school-based sports and physical activity opportunities for students with disabilities. The plan includes long- and short-term goals; target audiences; and activities related to advocacy, education, community organization/program development, and legal consultation and research. IFC is a national coalition of more than 150 organizations dedicated to addressing the policy, environmental, and societal issues associated with the lack of inclusion and access to physical activity among people with disabilities. The conference proceedings were edited by APTA member Toby Long, PT, PhD, FAPTA. Comments I think any activity for anyone in this age is more than good. Posted by Brent Gerbig PTA on 12/14/2011 10:50 AM The promotion of physical activity and sport for people with disabilities is very important. The IFC has done a great job with trying to raise awareness on this issue. Posted by Chris on 12/14/2011 1:26 PM I think raising "awareness" is insufficient and costly. Better the money go directly into providing services than to fund big conferences - preaching to (and entertaining) the choirs. Does the IFC have an outcomes measure for the effectiveness of their plan? Posted by Barbara on 12/16/2011 8:47 PM

This climate is characterized by relatively high temperatures and evenly distributed precipitation throughout the year. This climate type is found on the eastern sides of the continents between 20° and 35° N and S latitude. In summer, these regions are largely under the influence of moist, maritime airflow from the western side of the subtropical anticyclonic cells over low-latitude ocean waters. Temperatures are high and can lead to warm, oppressive nights. Summers are usually somewhat wetter than winters, with much of the rainfall coming from convectional thunderstorm activity; tropical cyclones also enhance warm-season rainfall in some regions. The coldest month is usually quite mild, although frosts are not uncommon, and winter precipitation is derived primarily from frontal cyclones along the polar front.
The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Cfa". (Humid Subtropical Climate).
The average temperature for the year in Graham is 58.9°F (14.9°C). The warmest month, on average, is July with an average temperature of 78.4°F (25.8°C). The coolest month on average is January, with an average temperature of 37.4°F (3°C).
The average amount of precipitation for the year in Graham is 44.7" (1135.4 mm). The month with the most precipitation on average is July with 5.0" (127 mm) of precipitation. The month with the least precipitation on average is November with an average of 2.9" (73.7 mm). There are an average of 105.0 days of precipitation, with the most precipitation occurring in July with 11.0 days and the least precipitation occurring in September with 7.0 days.
In Graham, there's an average of 6.9" of snow (0 cm). The month with the most snow is January, with 2.6" of snow (6.6 cm).

Amelia Rose Earhart, who was named after the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic, plans to complete her namesake's dream journey around the world.
The modern Earhart, a weather and traffic co-anchor for NBC Denver affiliate KUSA, will attempt to circumvent the globe on June 2014 in a Pilatus PC-12NG with her co-pilot, Patrick Carter of Fayetteville, Ark.
They will start in Oakland, Calif., fly to Miami, Brazil, Africa, India and Australia, then pass over Howland Island where the late Earhart and her co-pilot were supposed to land before they vanished over the South Pacific in 1937.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
With 14 stops and an estimated 48,000 miles, Amelia Rose Earhart, 30, hopes to become the youngest woman to fly around the world by the time she returns to Oakland.
She started taking flight lessons in 2004 because she was sick of seeing the disappointed expressions on people's faces when she confessed that was not a pilot despite her connection to the original aviatrix. The original Earhart did not have children, but Amelia Rose Earhart claims to have a "very distant" relation to her that traces back to the 1700s. Earhart's parents wanted to give her "an inspirational namesake," she said on NBC's "Today" show.
"There's not a lot of things we're entitled to, but we're entitled to developing our own adventure. This is my version of adventure and best way to keep Amelia's spirit alive," Earhart added.
Since first learning how to fly, Earhart has traveled from Oakland to Miami.
Unlike the late Amelia Earhart and her co-pilot, the new pair will be more prepared for their flight around the world next June. The current Earhart will have GPS, for one. She'll also have a sponsoring team assembled by Jeppesen, a company specializing in navigational information, that will "flight-follow the airplane". The pair also just completed training in a simulator for everything that could possibly for wrong in-flight, USA Today reported.
Another difference with Earhart and Carter's flight is their plan to livestream their experience. They want to be the first ones to record their flights through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, they told USA Today.
Earhart hopes to encourage people, especially younger girls, to learn how to fly. The founder of Fly With Amelia Foundation, she plans to raise additional funds for the organization during her flight, according to KUSA.

Recently a student asked me how to configure a Bluetooth Controller for use in VR. The short answer is that configuration is a simple affair of attaching an FPS Controller script to whatever has the VR prefab attached to it. The Edit>Project Settings>Input settings are all pre-configured for use with a mouse and keyboard and joystick controller – simultaneously. If you have a single analog controller, an issue will arise; the joysticks x axis (left and right motions) will cause you to strafe. The desired operation is to rotate.
We can work towards solving the strafing issue by asking the following question; under other circumstances, how would you rotate the character? Using a keyboard and mouse, A and D keys strafe while a mouse is used to both look around and guide the player's body in different directions. Why not adapt the mouse inputs for use with a single analog joystick?
- In Edit>Project Settings>Input settings, select the Mouse X input and duplicate it.
- Change its Type to Joystick Axis.
- Then disable the second Horizontal element by changing its Type to Key or Mouse Button.
If you have a dual-analog controller you should be able to adapt the inputs in a likewise manner.
- In Edit>Project Settings>Input settings, select the second Horizontal and Vertical elements and duplicate them.
- Change their Axis parameters to reflect those of your second analog joystick (consult the controller's documentation or experiment).
- In this example there's no need to disable the second Horizontal element

The last time Michael Vick was the starting quarterback of an NFL team, it was for the Atlanta Falcons back on New Year's Eve of 2006. His opponent? None other than the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick completed 8 of 14 passes for 81 measly yards that day.
It's been a very long four years since that last start. Since that time, Vick has been imprisoned, fired, sued, disgraced, and publicly humiliated. It's safe to assume that the only thing he had to console himself during those four long years was the prospect of again starting for a NFL team. And now, all signs point to Vick finally having his wish granted.
At the very earliest, (Kevin) Kolb cannot return to practice until Friday, Eagles coach Andy Reid said. Kolb failed to pass another concussion test Wednesday and hasn't even been cleared to return to team meetings, per NFL restrictions.
So, excluding a Lazarus-like comeback from Kolb, Vick will start in the Eagles' second game.
I think the only reason Kolb might still start is that Andy Reid knows a second brilliant outing from Vick would make it all but impossible for him to return Kolb to the starting lineup. So perhaps he'll rush Kolb back onto the field to avoid that situation, but I highly doubt it.
Before Michael Vick went to prison for running a brutal dogfighting ring, I think most of us agreed he'd probably never start in an NFL game again. Not only was he damaged goods, but there was also the fact that Vick never developed into a very good passer. He never threw for more than 20 TD's. He never passed for more than 3,000 yards. He never completed more than 56% of his throws during any season (he completed over 66% against Green Bay). So he had both his crimes AND his game working against him.
It's pretty amazing that Vick has come to this point. It's a testament to both his talent (which he still has plenty of) and his ability to not do anything obscenely stupid over the course of the past year, birthday party shootings not withstanding. It's gonna be something of an odd moment. Everyone hated Vick for his crimes, but it'll be hard not to see him start on Sunday and not feel some measure of gladness for him. Four years is a very, very long time. Especially when you spend a good amount of those four years in a prison cell.
A very unlikely comeback story may be about to begin.

On Saturday, Tony Lee wrote a piece at Breitbart highlighting a recent speech by Pat Caddell where he discussed the reasons behind the Republican party's defeat in the presidential election. Among the many things that Caddell noted is that the Romney campaign bowed to the "consultant-lobbyist-establishment" complex. However, this is not only the GOP's political modus operandi, it is also their policy approach. This is why, although the Democrats may seem to resonate with voters more on messaging (Caddell also mentioned that voters didn't think Governor Romney "cared about them"), the differences on policy between the two parties appears to be shrinking. Of particular note, Caddell said:
"Why are Republicans not the anti-establishment party?," Caddell asked.
Caddell emphasized a "narrative is a story" that comes over a period of time and "not just a single message."
He cited Ronald Reagan as someone who knew how to speak to Democrats and "ordinary and common" Americans and bring them over to his side because Reagan had been one of them and came from regular Americans and shared their experiences.
"That is a quality that has been missing a long time in a search for alternative candidate," Caddell said, in reference to Reagan's ability to resonate with blue collar Americans.
"As long as the establishment wants to preserve the establishment and their special deals, you will lose," Caddell said.
Caddell, of course, is correct. The Republican party's political approach has been inept attempt of self-preservation of the Establishment. They have been rudderless, inarticulate, and out-of-touch. I wrote last week about the need for the Republican party to do a better job at messaging and selling the winning product of conservatism, but the keys to victory of course, goes beyond this. One of the Republican party's failures has been that they have seen politics along a single axis–right and left–between the seemingly arbitrary boundaries of political parties. In reality, politics and policy both have a vertical component to them—top to bottom–not in the terms of political party, but of political connection and personal benefit.
As Caddell notes, "why are Republicans not the anti-establishment party?". They are not because they willfully ignore their own devotion to that "consultant-lobbyist-establishment" complex. Caddell also noted:
"No presidential campaign should be run by consultants," Caddell said. "They should be run by people who are committed to the candidate and not into making big money."
However, the past two losing presidential campaigns has been run by people who saw they could make money even in losing. Despite running a horrible campaign in 2008, Steve Schmidt saw he could continue to make money as a consultant and later as a political analyst at MSNBC as a "Republican" who trashes Republicans. The same can be said for Nicolle Wallace who works now at ABC and has attempted to capitalized on the notoriety of defeat by writing political fiction (which is the same genre as her political commentary). Through mid October, the Romney campaign had paid $134+ million to political firms tied to his aides, including funding a failed GOTV software. Karl Rove's "Crossroads" group brought in and spent more than one hundred million dollars, only to have every candidate they supported lose. The GOP establishment has turned the Republican party into a pyramid scheme–where the few at the top (the Establishment and their consultants) eat well at the expense of their own base. The political game is not simply "right vs. left"; it is a game where the establishment does not care if they win politically (and the country wins on the basis of ideology and principle) so long as they win monetarily. They eschew their own base and ignore the entire electorate to pad their bank accounts. They do not realize the need for "free market populism", which is the solution for the "vertical" political and policy problems the GOP has.
Policy must be viewed on a vertical plane as well. Cronyism and corporatism must be rejected. Both of these "isms" allow for the politically connected at the top of food chain to benefit at the expense of the taxpayers at the bottom. This goes beyond the infamous problems with Solyndra and the other green energy companies tied to political donors. This also includes political institutions like the ExIm Bank, which provides taxpayer backed loan guarantees for American companies who sell their product overseas. The ExIm bank is supported by many Republicans, and its re-authorization was one of the few things that flew through the House and Senate with ease before being signed by President Obama. The Republican party is not distinguishing themselves from the Democrats when they choose to subsidize business on the backs of ordinary Americans.
Economic ideas must not be the "pro-government" ideas of the Democrats, nor the purported "pro-business" ideas of the Republicans. Rather, they must be "pro-market" ideas. Pro government ideas are founded in expanding government at the expense of the taxpayers' money and liberty. Pro business ideas are founded in expanding government and some businesses at the expense of both other businesses and taxpayers. Both of the ideologies empower either government or specific businesses or industries, but "pro market" ideas empower the consumer as their purchasing power, not government taxation, bailouts, or subsidies, drives the market. Take, for example, ethanol subsidies. The EPA refused to ease ethanol mandates for fuel following a year of drought which negatively affected the corn harvest. What does this do? It makes fuel more expensive, and it has even made livestock farmers resort to feeding candy to their animals because increased corn prices have made livestock feed more expensive, which continues to occur in part because corn is being used for ethanol in fuel rather than in livestock feed. What does this have to do with the Republican party? Again, ethanol subsidies have bipartisan support, and the Republican party has not distinguished themselves from Democrats.
The concept of populism is not often seen as a conservative concept, and to some, free market populism may seem like an oxy moron. However, it is not the populism of liberals who pit Americans against each other through class warfare. It is a populism that desires to wage a war of sorts against the permanent political class (and the "consultant-lobbyist-establishment" complex) through a new brand of policy and politics. It is a brand guided not by the clinched fist of socialism, nor the hand-in-hand relationships of business and government, but of the invisible hand of the free market where the individual is empowered by lower taxes and smaller government.
In order to win elections and subsequently support for policy, the Republican party must realize that the battle lies in their message and the directionality of their focus, not in the hands of establishment consultants. If they ignore the vertical plane of their political and policy battles, they will lose not only their political base, but the electorate as a whole, and their pyramid scheme will come crashing down.

When Hope College launches intercollegiate lacrosse for men and women next year it will be directed by head coaches very familiar with the program.
The transition to intercollegiate sport will be under the tutelage of the current coaches Tracy Benjamin (women) and Michael Schanhals (men). Both played lacrosse during their Hope undergraduate days.
"We are delighted that both Mike and Tracy will remain with our lacrosse programs and student-athletes as we transition these teams to varsity status next year in Hope and MIAA athletics," said co-athletics director Eva Dean Folkert who will serve as the college's lacrosse coordinator. "They bring both significant knowledge and great enthusiasm to their work as lacrosse coaches. We know that the dedication and care they have already given to our club programs in the past will surely continue. We are fortunate to have them leading men's and women's lacrosse as new varsity offerings in Hope and MIAA sports."
The establishment of intercollegiate lacrosse at Hope coincides with its introduction as a sport by the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) in the 2012-13 school year. Competition in men's and women's lacrosse will continue as a club sport this spring. When it becomes intercollegiate there will be a non-traditional season next fall followed by conference regular season and tournament play in the spring of 2013.
Hope's club lacrosse program has an established history, the men beginning in 1974 and the women in 2000.
A 1990 Hope graduate who played lacrosse, Schanhals has coached the Flying Dutchmen since 2005. He coached East Grand Rapids High School to state championships in 1993 and 1994 and for the past 18 years has taught in the North Muskegon public schools. He has coached football, basketball, and tennis during his tenure at North Muskegon. He is a US Lacrosse certified official. He coached the 2010 Flying Dutchmen to a 12-3 season mark and first-ever appearance in the national tournament of the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association.
Benjamin is a 2009 Hope graduate who majored in psychology and exercise science. She was an active member of the lacrosse club team, serving as captain in 2007 and club president in 2008 and 2009. In her first year as coach in 2011 she guided the Flying Dutch to a school-record 11 wins and the program's first-ever appearance in post-season play. She currently serves as a counselor in a program that helps troubled teens learn independent living skills.
The addition of lacrosse to the intercollegiate program brings to 20 the number of varsity sports sponsored by Hope, ten each for women and men.

Sufferers who did two 90-minute yoga classes a week for about six months eased soreness by 56 percent, a study in *Spine* shows. Those given treatments like pain meds and physical therapy lessened the hurt by only 16 percent. Posing improves posture and strengthens back muscles to keep aches at bay, researchers say.\\nInsomniacs fell asleep 15 minutes faster and slept an hour longer each night after two months of doing a 45-minute series of yoga poses daily before bed. Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital speculate that regular practice helped people relax, making it easier to switch off. No trouble hitting the hay?
