I've always heard that the country of origin teaches its martial art the best. How true is this for TKD/HKD? How do the dojangs in South Korea match up against good schools (not mcdojos) of the US?
I will assume you have asked your instructor(s) this question - and their answer was?
"I've always heard that the country of origin teaches its martial art the best." Variants of this statement have been around for decades...
You have to go to the Japanese mainland to receive top-notch Judo training...
You have to go to Okinawa in order to receive top-notch karate training...
You have to go to China in order to receive top-notch (insert CMA style here) training...
So long ago I concluded logically that martial arts skills must exist in the local cuisine & water supply. Sorry I am not mocking you - I am trying to illustrate the unsupportable nature of your opening statement.
My answer is what you need to reach a superior level in an endeavor is to train at any "Centers of Excellence" which consists of quality skilled instructors, good training facilities, and a sufficient number of students with the highest performance standards possible to test and motivate you.
In the USA - if I wanted to study big time collegiate wrestling what programs should I seek out? Play big time college football or baseball at an elite level?
I want to become a champion downhill racer (skiing) where should I go to train?
Well it has to be Norway right - the cradle of skiing?
We must pay homage to 19th century Norwegian Sondre Norheim.
However, if you were to try and compare a good TKD school in Korea to a good TKD school in US, it would break down to the little things. Which has a better teacher, better support staff, etc. There are no "secret" techniques being taught in Korea. I believe you have a better chance finding a good TKD school in the US than you would in Korea, simply because most schools over there will cater towards younger children than they would adults.
Probably 90% (not an exaggeration) of all TKD jangs are for kids under the age of 18. They are mostly daycare services with a dobok. Each gym has their own mini bus or van with cartoon characters printed on the sides that picks up the kids from school or their homes. If
Overall, the typical TKD gym in the US would be better then the one in Korea. If you went to a TKD gym in Korea, you wouldn't even be able to train because you are surround by kids. The guy running the place might not understand why you are even there.
However, if you wanted teh real TKD, Yongin University is the place to go. They have lots of exchange programs for students, including foreigners. People go to Yongin University to major in a sport. As in people go there and study their sport, 8 hours a day. A lot of them have Olympic dreams.
So, to answer your question, it is not exactly true. Unless you go to a sports program at a University, which in some cases would be not unlike going to an Olympic training center in the US.
Train Yudo, it's cheap, effective and widely availible.
Of the twelve original masters of TKD, four went to Canada, three to the USA, two to Australia, and one each went to Germany, Italy, and The U.K.
The Korea Taekwon-Do Association sent the best they had out into the rest of the world to promote the sport. It evolved in countries outside Korea, just as well as in country.
You can also look into Kyung-hee University or Korea Sports University as other possible avenues to train in TKD in Korea.
Another thing that needs to go into the mix when comparing American dojang to Korean is the time they spend training. "Daycare" or not in Korea they still train 5 days a week. Whether they "feel" like it or not, that is the expectation & the norm in Korea. In the States, 9 year olds training 5 days a week is rare. Skill level (if not quality of instructoion) average would increase with more training.
Even if a TKD jang is training kids 5 days a week, an adult still can't train at a typical TKD jang here. TKD is usually seen as something for children, kinda like T-Ball.
Most of these kids go to TKD on days they don't go to English school, Piano lessons, Math school, Soccer, Baseball and Chinese school. It would be very rare for a parent to send a kid to TKD five days a week. The only time you would see that is if the parents feel their child is smart enough to go to academic academies, or if they want their son or daughter to go to the Olympics or something.

Rush will have to be fast to catch this quarterback
- |
FOXBOROUGH - The Patriots will try to perform one of the most difficult tasks in football tonight: sacking Peyton Manning.
On the 322 plays he has dropped back to pass this season, Manning has been sacked seven times. That rate of 2.2 percent leads the NFL, and it owes more to Manning than his offensive line.
"He gets rid of the ball,'' Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "He throws it away. The only way to sack him is for somebody to come that he doesn't expect - the guy's blocked and he beats a block and Peyton's not thinking about him or for some reason he just doesn't see him. If he sees him coming, he'll get rid of the ball. And he has a quick release anyway.
"Historically, we've seen people blitz him, and the blitzer comes clean from the center-guard gap or right from the line of scrimmage, and he still gets rid of it. And sometimes for big plays.''
"It's not so difficult getting to him,'' linebacker Tully Banta-Cain said. "It's getting to him before he throws the ball. He has a quick release. We watch film, you see him getting hit almost every time. But he's getting the ball off and completing it.''
Still, the quick release does not negate the importance of applying pressure. According to ProFootballFocus.com, Manning has a 108.5 passer rating when not facing pressure and a 91.2 rating when facing it.
"He's a very poised guy in the pocket, but he can get happy feet,'' Banta-Cain said. "The more you can get him to move around and have him stumble around the pocket, that buys time for guys on the back end to stay on their coverage.''
"I look at this Colts secondary, and I look at a Colts secondary that's in trouble,'' said former Patriots safety Rodney Harrison, now an analyst for NBC. "If you're Tom Brady and the Patriots, you have to look to really exploit that secondary and take shots down the field.''
The Patriots faced a pair of rookies in a 59-0 victory over Tennessee and last week in their 27-17 win over the Dolphins. In those games, Brady completed 54 of 71 passes for 712 yards and 7 touchdowns.
No player is more affected by noise on the road than the quarterback. Because he was injured last season, Brady has not yet played in Lucas Oil Stadium.
"Communication is a problem for the offense, there's no doubt about that,'' he said. "Any dome is typically loud. The RCA Dome was exceptionally loud; you couldn't hear anything in there.
"I've heard that this is a fairly loud stadium. The RCA Dome was, I think from what I hear, a little bit louder. Peyton actually told me that.''

Forgive and forget – words that are so entwined it is hard to say one without the other.

Recommended Publications
This selection is the initial installment of what will be an ever-expanding list of critiques of environmentalism and environmentalist groups. Many publications below can be obtained online by clicking the hyperlinks, or at online retailers such as Amazon.com. For out-of-print titles,
check bookfinder.com
History and Philosophy of Environmentalism
Alston Chase, In a Dark Wood: The Fight Over Forests and the Rising Tyranny of Ecology (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1995). Chases magisterial book is easily the best available history and analysis of environmentalism, both as a philosophy and as a movement. A former environmentalist, and a brilliant philosopher and
journalist, Chase provides a revealing account of the contributions of the philosophers and other intellectuals who shaped the contemporary movement, as well as a thorough history and criticism of the environmental movement. Must reading!
Robert James Bidinotto, The Green Machine (Poughkeepsie, NY: The Objectivist Center, 1993). In this monograph, the publisher of ecoNOT.com surveys the history, philosophy, and organized scare campaigns of the environmentalist movement. A a devastating criticism of environmentalism.
Robert James Bidinotto, Green Cathedrals: Modern Spiritual Poverty and the Rise of Environmentalism (Poughkeepsie, NY: The Objectivist Center, 1999). Why has the environmentalist philosophy captured the hearts and minds of millions? In this recorded lecture, Mr. Bidinotto traces environmentalism's intellectual roots to its sources in Western mythology, religion, and philosophy.
Paul Driessen, Eco-Imperialism: Green Power, Black Death (Bellevue, WA: Free Enterprise Press, 2003). A powerful indictment of environmentalism's many deadly impacts upon millions of struggling people in the Third World. Driessen exposes the horrific body counts in developing nations that mount from green opposition to fossil fuels and hydro-electric power, biotechnology, modern agricultural methods, and pesticides. His book convincingly demolishes any "idealistic" pretenses of the environmental movement.
Charles E. Tomlinson, A View From My Stump (Cherokee, AL: D. R. Virtue Press, 1992). In witty essays and charming stories, a lifelong professional forester explores the true relationship of man and nature, demolishing familiar environmental fallacies along the way.
Anna Bramwell, Ecology in the 20th Century (New Haven and London: Yale University
Press, 1989). A scholarly look at the modern thinkers who most proximately shaped the environmental movement.
Jo Kwong Echard, Protecting the Environment: Old Rhetoric, New Imperatives (Washington, DC: Capital Research Center, 1990). A probing look at leading environmentalist organizations.
Environmentalism Vs. Science and Economics
While ecoNOT.com's focus is
philosophical, science and economics offer important anti-environmentalist critiques that
buttress the philosophical case against the movement.
Ronald Bailey, Eco-Scam: The False Prophets of Ecological Apocalypse (New York: St. Martin's Press, 1993). Science writer Bailey ably refutes environmentalist doomsaying over climate change, the ozone hole, population growth, resource depletion, and much more.
Ronald Bailey, ed., Earth Report 2000: Revisiting the True State of the Planet (New York: McGraw-Hill, 2000). A myth-busting examination of a host of environmental scares by a team of experts.
Ronald Bailey, ed., Global Warming and Other Eco-Myths: How the Environmental Movement Uses False Science to Scare
Us to Death (Roseville, CA: Prima Publishing, 2002). Another panel of scientific and economic authorities debunk a wide range of environmentalist fallacies and scare campaigns. The statistical tables alone constitute a damning indictment of eco-hysteria.
Michael Crichton, State of Fear. This bestselling novel is fiction, but of a rare sort: it takes ideas seriously. Within the pages of this fast-moving thriller, scientifically-trained author Crichton incorporates factual refutations of the scaremongering over global warming -- and even adds a nonfiction Afterword and an extensive bibliography for additional reading. A painless, even enjoyable, way to get up to speed on this important topic.
Bjorn Lomborg, The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the True State of the World (Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, 2001). Lomborg, an environmentalist but a careful statistician, caused an international uproar with this volume that statistically
demolishes the catastrophic scare claims of environmentalists across a broad spectrum of issues.
Ben Bolch and Harold Lyons, Apocalypse Not: Science, Economics and Environmentalism (Washington, DC: Cato Institute, 1993). The authors--an economist and a chemist--weigh environmentalist contentions against scientific analysis and economic reasoning, and find environmentalism wanting on both counts.
Angela Logomasini and David Riggs, ed., The Environmental Source 2002 (Washington, DC: Competitive Enterprise Institute, 2002). Researchers and analysts address the most pressing environmental worries of our time, offering policy makers intelligent recommendations.
Michael Sanera and Jane S. Shaw, Facts Not Fear: Teaching Children About the Environment (Washington, DC: Regnery Publishing, Inc., 1999). An outstanding guide for teachers and students that examines a host of environmental problems with sober objectivity and without hysteria. A refreshing antidote to most of what passes for "environmental science" in the classroom.
Patrick J. Michaels and Robert C. Balling, The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air About Global Warming (Washington, DC: Cato Institute, 2000). Two expert climatologists review the scientific evidence underlying the global warming scare, and argue convincingly that climate change will be small and benign, not huge and catastrophic.
Patrick J. Michaels, Sound and Fury: The Science and Politics of Global Warming (Washington, DC: Cato Institute, 1992). Though Dr. Michaels' Satanic Gases presents more recent scientific data, his chapter on "political science"--the manipulation of science by environmentalists inside and outside government--is worth the price of the book.
Thomas Gale Moore, Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn't Worry about Global Warming (Washington, DC: Cato Institute, 1998). An economist looks at the history of climate change, and shows how predicted warming would be an economic and health boon, not a disaster.
S. Fred Singer, Hot Talk, Cold Science: Global Warming's Unfinished Debate (Independent Institute, revised edition, April 1999). A renowned astrophysicist takes on the purveyors of "junk science" regarding the Mother of All Environmental Scares: global warming.
Cassandra Chrones Moore, Haunted Housing: How Toxic Scare Stories Are Spooking the Public Out of House and Home (Washington, DC: Cato Institute, 1997). Terrified about the threats of radon, lead, asbestos, and electromagnetic fields in your home? This book will sooth your anxieties, but arouse your ire at environmentalist scaremongers.
Charles E. Tomlinson, "How Private Ownership Saved the Southern Forest." An excellent ecoNOT.com guest opinion article by a veteran forest manager, showing that private property--not government management, or environmentalist neglect--has been the key to restoring America's southern forests, "one of the greatest natural resource management triumphs in the history of man."
Michael Fumento, Science Under Siege: Balancing Technology and the Environment (New York: William Morrow & Co., 1996). Investigative journalist Fumento exposes toxic terrorism campaigns on pesticides, cancer, dioxin, food irradiation, electrical and magnetic fields, and much more.
Brilliant and eye-opening.
Organizations and
Online Resources
Though the following groups may not consistently share the philosophical outlook championed at ecoNOT.com, they nonetheless offer valuable
research and perspectives on specific environmental issues.
A Better Earth--This Web site, aimed especially at a student audience, focuses on "taking decidedly more pragmatic approaches to solving environmental problems." This "soft-sell" pragmatism extends, regrettably, to advocacy of a "new environmentalism" whose eclectic premises include a number of philosophical contradictions, and to its overly positive portrait of certain environmentalist groups, such as the scandal-ridden Nature Conservancy. But for the critical visitor, the site does offer a host of sound perspectives and links to worthwhile information, as well.
ActivistCash.com--An outstanding database of information on environmentalist, animal rights, and "food police" activists, maintained by the Center for Consumer Freedom (see their listing below).

environmentalist propaganda.
Center for Consumer Freedom--an association of restaurants and food industry companies that promotes free consumer choice in foods, and takes on "food police" regulators, anti-biotechnology activists, and animal rights groups.
Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise--upholds private property rights and "wise use" of natural resources, while exposing the activities of environmentalist and animal rights organizations.
Competitive Enterprise Institute--foremost among anti-environmentalist public policy organizations
in Washington, DC, CEI not only publishes top-notch research, but also mounts effective media and political opposition to environmentalist policy
Cumulative Impacts--Unique Web blog of Susan Bird, J. D., maintained for federal environmental attorneys, but very useful for anyone interested in breaking news concerning environmental laws and regulations.

How to find even more free stuff
There's no shortage of sources for finding free stuff. A growing number of websites are dedicated to connecting you to communities where you can swap what you no longer need, locate stuff others want to unload, and even borrow things from your neighbors. It's also fairly easy to find free samples, magazine subscriptions, and much more.
Saving money is the obvious benefit. However, reusing stuff is also great for the planet since it keeps valuable items out of landfills and also saves resources needed to make new products.
I got hundreds of comments and emails after writing the post How to find free stuff. Yahoo! readers were eager to share their favorite websites. Below is a list of some of the most common suggestions:
Sites that help you swap books, DVDs, CDs, and video games are quite popular. Here are some that weren't mentioned in the original article: SwapaDVD, PaperBackSwap, SwapaCD, BookMooch, TitleTrader, and Game Trading Zone.
Looking for some other trading options? Try Swap Baby Goods, Hand-Me-Downs, or UandITrade to swap (or sell) kids' stuff you no longer need. Women can trade clothing and accessories at Dign Swap.
Borrowing something from your neighbor isn't technically the same as getting something for free, but it's pretty darn close since you'll save money by not having to buy something you won't use very often. You also won't have to find space for it in your house. Check out neighBORROW, Household Network, or Loanables.
Log onto CurbStuff or TakeMeimFREE to search for items being given away by people in your town.
Use Twitter to get instant updates about free offerings. Sign up for FreeStuffUS or FreeSampleLady.
Find free accommodations all over the world at GlobalFreeLoaders, Hospitality Club, and Places2Stay.
Access a wide selection of overstocked items, merchandise mistakes, and sponsored products at Absofree.com. Everything is free, but you will have to pay $7.99 for shipping and handling.
HappyHourWatch maps local happy hours and bar specials. Drinks aren't necessarily free, but you can find some good discounts.
There is a website for every marine base where you can get deeply discounted or free stuff. You don't have to be in the military to participate, but you will want to find the website for your closest base. Some examples: Lejuene Yard Sales, Pendleton Yard Sales, and Cherry Point Yard Sales.
Here's a short list of some of the many websites dedicated to helping people find giveaways, samples, free magazine subscriptions, and other promotional items: Freeshiet, Free Stuff Times, Freenology, and YESall4Free. Teens can try TeenFreeway.
Environmental journalist Lori Bongiorno shares green-living tips and product reviews with Yahoo! Green's users. Send Lori a question or suggestion for potential use in a future column. Her book, Green Greener Greenest: A Practical Guide to Making Eco-smart Choices a Part of Your Life is available on Yahoo! Shopping and Amazon.com.

The black and white shots show Beyoncé giving the middle finger, first with her Mother Tina and then solo.
Although she did win two GRAMMYs at this year's ceremony Bey was swept by Adele in the major categories of Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year.
Is Beyoncé ticked at the Recording Academy, or simply re-enacting an iconic pose from her "Formation" video? Consider the evidence below.

Law, Policy -- and IT?
Tracy Mitrano explores the intersection where higher education, the Internet and the world meet (and sometimes collide).
What He Said
A plan for the surveillance era.
The Swedish Foreign Minister's letter to The New York Times this week could have been written before the Snowden disclosures, but surely it is the product of them. Spoken from a premise of Western individualism and democracy, it calls for International Internet Law in support of those principles. His specific seven-point plan is worth repeating here:
- First, surveillance should be based on laws, and these must be adopted in a transparent manner through a democratic process. The implementation of these laws should be reviewed periodically to ensure that the expansion of surveillance capabilities due to technological advances is properly debated.
- Second, surveillance must be conducted on the basis of a legitimate and well-defined aim, and should never be carried out in a discriminatory manner.
- Third, the law should justify that surveillance is necessary and adequate to achieve legitimate aims.
- Fourth, a sound proportionality judgment must be made, to carefully assess whether the benefits of surveillance outweigh its negative consequences.
- Fifth, decisions on the use of communications surveillance should be made by a competent authority, and often an independent court is the best solution.
- Sixth, states should be as transparent as possible about how they carry out surveillance, providing information on how surveillance legislation works in practice.
- Seventh, public oversight must be done by parliamentary institutions that scrutinize how the laws work, assure transparency and build trust and legitimacy.
I have two basic observations regarding this plan. The first is that if the United States does not immediately get into the spirit of this kind of effort and support it authentically, it will be left behind in the development of International Internet Law for time to come, with effects ranging from remuneration to reputation not only as a government but for its people. I am not optimistic. It is axiom of history, human nature and political science that incumbents do not readily relinquish power. Enduring notions of American exceptionalism reinforce that defensive disposition.
The second observation is that given its international scope and relationships, higher education could exercise an influential role in this effort. Its institutions world-wide have the requisite expertise in areas ranging from law, economics, social and computer sciences, and engineering. As institutions designed for the public good, higher education has credibility to speak for humanity world-wide even while its schools sit in specific countries. And higher education has the start-up means to get the ball rolling: conferences! If this sectors knows anything practical, it knows how to put on a conference, and one on this topic should be created out of a consortium of global equals, not just elite U.S. Universities. Is there a university willing to get this ball rolling? Will that university be in the United States?
I fear if we do not spearhead these efforts, the United States will be left behind. Not tomorrow, not the day after, but eventually. If our elected officials, beholden to the anti-intellectual, foreign-phobic public sentiment that permeates our political culture even in the best of times, can't make this move on behalf of a forward-looking perspective on what the United States could be in the century to come, higher education should. But will it?

The Juneau Court Appointed Special Advocate Program is recruiting volunteers to be the voice of hope for abused, neglected or abandoned children in our community. You are invited to attend a one-hour information meeting on any of the following dates:
Tuesday, July 27, 12-1 p.m. at the Valley Library
Tuesday, August 3, 5:15-6:15 p.m. at the Valley Library
Thursday, August 5, 12-1 p.m. at the Downtown Library.
You must attend one information meeting in order to participate in the training.
Every year in Juneau, children are removed from their homes and placed in foster care because they cannot live safely at home. This removal immediately introduces the children to a host of strangers: police, foster parents, therapists, social workers, judges, lawyers and more. If a child is lucky, one of these strangers is a CASA volunteer.
A CASA volunteer watches over and advocates for the children to make sure they don't get lost in the overburdened legal system or languish in foster care. A volunteer stays with a case until the child is placed in a safe, permanent home and the case is closed. For many children, a CASA volunteer is the one constant adult presence - someone who cares for them and watches out for their best interests.
In 2009 there were approximately 26 CASA volunteers in Juneau, representing the best interests of 69 children in Juneau. Currently there are 179 children in foster care in our area.
We are looking for volunteers who can be objective and committed. No legal background or special experience is required. The free 32-hour core training begins September 16 (nights and weekends). Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age and undergo a screening, including a background check.
For more information, call Lynn Squires-White, Juneau CASA Program Coordinator at 465-2268, or visit the Alaska CASA website at www.alaskacasa.org.

The roofing comes in different types and styles. Shingles, tile, metal, shakes, square timber, standard trusses and the round log roofs are some of the common systems used on the cabins. The most popular roofing is the 20 or 25-
Small cabin kits are cozy and provide a comfortable atmosphere. Some of their many benefits are that they can be remodeled to add space if needed, and they are within most budgets to purchase. Depending on where you live, building permits are not needed to build small log cabins. There are places that will require a building permit, but since the cabin is small, a permit won't cost much to obtain. Small log cabins can be used for just relaxing, music rehearsals, meetings or a place to entertain guests. Some campsites even use small log cabin kits to set up their guests' vacation spots. There is nothing like enjoying peace and tranquility in a cabin that you put together yourself.

One-to-one support direct from the developer
It's simple! For questions about using any ThemeFlood themes, feedback, feature requests and enquiries about development of custom theme designs, please simply click the email button:
Alternatively, if social media is more your sort of thing, you're welcome to follow or make contact via Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or Tumblr.
You'll normally get a reply within 6 - 12 hours, although things are generally slower around weekends and during holidays. Before sending an email, please carefully read the notes below. Likewise, it may be wise to check the other free support resources first, like the RapidWeaver Forums or the ThemeFlood Knowledgebase, in case your question has aleady been answered.
Notes for consideration, when getting in contact:
- During busy times, support is prioritised for paying customers or those who have made a contribution. I will endeavour to try and answer questions that relate to the free themes, but other commitments may limit an ability to provide a fast or comprehensive reply. Using the support and social networking links provided on this page offers the fastest and most reliable form of communication.
- Enquiries relating to the checkout, VAT and payments should be sent to Paddle. Enquiries relating to updates and technical support for specific themes should be directed to ThemeFlood via email. Please refrain from sending technical support enquiries to Paddle; as those questions are unlikely to get a response.
- It's difficult to provide support in instances where other third-party addons are used. Contrary to popular belief, third-party developers don't have free-roaming access to the RapidWeaver Addons site, and can only afford to purchase and test against a limited number of third-party addons. Therefore you may be asked in advance to purchase and provide additional copies of particular addons, if questions relate to these products. Unfortunately unlike ThemeFlood, not all RapidWeaver addon developers provide free demo versions of their wares, and some in the past have refused to provide copies for testing.
- When contacting me with a problem, it's always so much easier and quicker to be able to replicate the problem here in the office. Therefore describe the problem to the best of your ability using good English and grammar. Some screenshots may be useful. A link to a live published website or a download link for the zipped RapidWeaver project file is almost essential. Large files can be forwarded using a secure, free service like Dropbox. Regretfully if an support case lacks adequate information, it might get bounced back to you with a request for further information. You can save yourself many hours of time by spending a few extra minutes yourself to carefully compose an email with adequate information attached.
- Please do not cross-post your support correspondence. For example, don't send me an email and post the identical question onto social media or the RapidWeaver forums. It does not gain you a faster response. Simply ask the question(s) once and wait patiently for a reply. Otherwise "spammy" calls for help will just get ignored!
- The RapidWeaver app itself is developed by Realmac Software. So if you have general questions (e.g. publishing problems) you should search the information already provided and get in contact with them directly if a problem persists. The RapidWeaver Forums is a good place to search for information too.
I look forward to hearing from you!

I am extremely impressed by the quality of this kit, especially for the money. The only problem I had was that the rear caliper retaining clips were a smidge too big, so they wouldn't sit properly in the calipers. Just had to run down to the auto parts store to get a new set of clips for the rears, otherwise worked just fine. No noise during braking and stops very well. Very good pad bed-in instructions included. The slotted and drilled rotors really give a nice look to the car.

Midland College honors faculty members
Published 6:00 am, Saturday, January 15, 2011
Midland College honored two of its own on Thursday when more than 100 faculty and staff members gathered for the annual Teaching Excellence Awards ceremony.
This year's recipients were Nicholas Elderkin, associate professor of music, and Robert Weidman, director of the respiratory care program.
The awards were split in to two categories. Elderkin won in Academic/Transfer and Weidman won in Career and Technical Education.
"It was certainly an amazing honor," Elderkin said afterward. "When I came here to Midland College four years ago, my goal was to impact the lives of my students through teaching. Now, I've found my peers have impacted mine."
Elderkin came to MC after receiving his doctorate degree in music from Texas Tech University. He served as a part-time instructor and graduate assistant at Texas Tech before arriving in Midland.
Stanley Jacobs, associate vice president of instruction at MC, said Elderkin has helped the school become one of only four community colleges that is an all- Steinway School.
He also has helped the school receive more than $665,000 in grant money, since joining the faculty four years ago.
Meanwhile, Weidman is in his 27th year at the school and also won the award in 1998. Before becoming a teacher, he was a therapist at Midland Memorial Hospital.
"It's hard to put into words (what the award means)," Weidman said. "You never expect to be nominated by your peers. When you do, it is a little overwhelming. There are a lot of wonderful teachers at Midland College. It's nice to be considered one of them."
Weidman said what he enjoys most about teaching is changing the lives of his students, as they learn and become successful. Elderkin said teaching requires one to always be inspiring students.
Elderkin and Weidman were the winners, but President Steve Thomas said each nominee was deserving of the award.
"It is unfortunate in an event like this that we only have a few so-called winners out of a wonderful group of nominees," he said.
* * *
Teaching Excellence Award nominees:
Career & Technical Education: Jeff Crain, organizational management professor; Carla Hooker, vocational nursing assistant professor; Cindy Madewell, simulation lab coordinator; and Lynn Mock, associate degree nursing associate professor.
Academic/Transfer: Diane Allen, English associate professor; Pamela Howell, English professor; Paula Marshall-Gray, history and anthropology associate professor; Joseph Severino, mathematics assistant professor; and Karen Waggoner, geology assistant professor.

Gardner heats up, Boston cools off
Left fielder gets three hits, including go-ahead homer in sixth inning
Published 12:40 am, Monday, August 4, 2014
Brett Gardner hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning for one of his three hits, helping the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 8-7 on Sunday night.
Former Red Sox infielder Stephen Drew had a pair of hits and drove in four runs in his third game with the Yankees since he was sent there at the trading deadline. Esmil Rogers (1-0) earned the victory in his Yankees debut by throwing three hitless innings, striking out three and allowing one walk.
David Robertson pitched the ninth for his 29th save.
Craig Breslow (2-3) came in to relieve Clay Buchholz to start the sixth inning and gave up Gardner's leadoff homer before retiring the next three batters. Yankees starter David Phelps lasted just two innings, allowing five runs and six hits with two walks. He departed with right elbow inflammation and will be evaluated later this week in New York.
Boston starter Clay Buchholz allowed seven runs in five innings.
Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz homered for Boston. Pedroia lined a 3-2 pitch just foul with two outs in the bottom of the ninth one pitch before grounding out to shortstop to end the game.
The Red Sox led 3-0 after one inning, 5-3 after two and 7-4 after four. But the Yankees tied it in the fifth on Chase Headley's RBI double and Drew's two-run single.
Gardner led off the sixth with his 15th homer of the year — and his fifth in six games — on a 2-0 pitch, sending it over the Red Sox bullpen beyond right field.
Boston's newly acquired first baseman Allen Craig missed his second straight game with foot soreness. Manager John Farrell says he hopes to have Craig in the lineup when the Red Sox are in St. Louis to face his former team this week. Outfielder Shane Victorino flew to Los Angeles on Sunday to see an orthopedic surgeon about his back.
New York returns home for a four-game series against the Tigers. Brandon McCarthy (3-0) will face Detroit's Max Scherzer (13-3) in the opener.
The Red Sox are idle.
Pineda rehab moves forward
"My shoulder is really strong; it's healed," Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda said Sunday after his first rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
This 58-pitch outing, of course, was only one step for the right-hander, who has been on the disabled since May 6 with shoulder trouble.
But all indications, for now, are that Pineda is on track to return to the Yankees soon. He allowed three hits and a walk and struck out four in 31/3 scoreless innings against the Syracuse Chiefs at PNC Field.
Pineda, recovering from a strained Teres Major muscle behind his surgically-repaired right shoulder, is expected to throw 80 pitches in his next outing. He traveled last night to New York and said he'll await word from the Yankees on where his next rehab start will be.
Pineda threw 37 pitches for strikes, allowed two doubles and needed 46 pitches to get through the first two innings. He rebounded with a quick third and was pulled after facing two batters in the fourth. He threw an additional seven pitches in the bullpen afterward, bringing his total to 65. His fastball sat between 91-93 mph, on par with his MLB season average of 92.2. He registered 94 mph twice and recorded three strikeouts with the slider.
Tanaka could learn fate
Monday will go a long way toward determining whether Masahiro Tanaka will pitch again this season.
Three weeks ago, Tanaka, on the disabled list with a torn UCL, received a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection, the first step the Yankees hoped in a rehab process that would allow their pitcher to avoid Tommy John surgery.
Tanaka saw his doctor Friday, Girardi said, and will be examined again Monday. At that point, the 25-year-old pitcher could be green-lighted to start throwing, possibly even later in the day.
If Tanaka gets the go-ahead to start throwing, he would still be, at best, about a month away from a return.

Was to shoot with Farooq Sheikh today: Boman Irani
Mumbai: Actor Boman Irani was due to shoot with Farooque Sheikh for an upcoming film in Indore Saturday. But the news of the latter`s sudden death left Boman "shocked, numbed and saddened".
Farooque was in Dubai for a family vacation when a cardiac arrest took his life late Friday night.
He was working with Boman for the film `Youngistan`.
"Shot with him last month. Had the warmest conversation and were to meet here in Indore today. Was to join us from Dubai. Alvida Farooque saab (Goodbye Farooque Sheikh)," Boman tweeted Saturday.
"Shocked, numbed and saddened. Was supposed to be shooting with him today. A gentleman actor is no more," he added.
"Youngistan" features actor Jackky Bhagnani in the lead role. It was hard for the young actor also to come to terms with the tragic news of the death of Farooque, a father-figure to him.
"I am in shock to hear about Farooque sir`s death...I am still in denial. Please tell me this is not true," Jackky posted on Twitter.
"Thank you for being like a father to me and teaching me so much through this film. Your teachings will always stay with me," he added.
Directed by debutant Syed Afzal Ahmad, `Youngistan` also features Neha Sharma and Kayoze Irani.

The third installment of Walter Mosley's Fearless Jones series (after Fearless Jones and Fear Itself) takes place in 1956 South Los Angeles, where trouble once again finds bookseller Paris Minton and his black sidekick and hero Fearless Jones. This time, Paris's criminally minded cousin, Ulysses "Useless" S. Grant IV, has turned to him in dire need of help. Then he disappears. Despite intentions otherwise—and because he can't say no to Aunt Three Hearts—Paris decides to track down his cousin and uncover his blackmailing scheme. Of course, especially when secrets, desperate women, and dead bodies stand in the way, Paris's search is not as easy as it looks.
Little, Brown. 320 pages. $25.99. ISBN: 0316734586
Ft. Worth Star-Telegram
"You're expecting a noir thriller when you open the latest Walter Mosley novel, but a comic history lesson comes knocking. … Mosley invests Paris, his unwilling detective, with qualities—cowardice, intelligence and a self-mocking humor—that makes this tale a pleasure to read." Cathy Frisinger
South FL Sun-Sentinel
"As usual, Mosley is in his element when examining black culture and racism, in this series set in the 1950s. But this time Mosley also delivers a strong, focused plot and fully developed characters, both of which have been missing in the other two Fearless novels." Oline H. Cogdill
St. Petersburg Times
"Much as he focuses on his male characters and their struggles with what it means to be a black man in America, Mosley writes fascinating women." Colette Bancroft
Washington Post
"For much of the novel, Mosley is a black novelist poking affectionate fun at black characters—and black stereotypes—even as he reminds us of the decidedly unfunny realities of their lives in a segregated America. … The novel's complicated plot is not terribly important." Patrick Anderson
Los Angeles Times
"The mechanics of chase and investigation clearly interest Mosley less than character, atmosphere and locale, or the bringing to life of various shady or honorable figures, the entrepreneurs and con men, the pool rooms, the restaurants, the winos and waitresses that Paris encounters in his trawls through Eisenhower-era Watts." Richard Rayner
Critical Summary
Although Walter Mosley is best known for his popular Easy Rawlins series, critics agree that the newer Fearless Jones books come in a close second. After all, they're close cousins, both set in Los Angeles in the 1950s and dealing with themes of racism, black culture, and social injustice. The newer series, however, written in similarly cool, witty prose, is lighter in tone. Reviewers praised Mosley's vivid, convincing characters—Fearless, of course, but also the women, including the intrepid Three Hearts. They disagreed, however, about the novel's plot. Some critics thought it fast-paced and complex, while others cited it as ancillary to the character development and larger history lesson. In the end, Fear of the Dark is, like Mosley's other novels, "troubling, too—that's clearly what he intends, and he does his work well" (Washington Post).

The only means to set us on the path towards recovery is a three powers collaboration between the United States, Russia, and China. Leaders from two of those nations met last week to sign important agreements on nuclear development. But the potential of such development and the three powers alliance to save civilization, will not come into being if the United States does not free itself from Obama.

Intellectual Property Enforcement
ENDitorial: Lessons from the failure of Licences for Europe
Now that the Licences for Europe has failed so comprehensively, it is time to reflect on what types of voluntary or self-regulatory initiatives are likely to work and which are likely to fail.
Last May, at the Stockholm Internet Forum, EDRi ran an "unconference" session, which brainstormed about what characteristics a self-regulatory initiative would need to have in order to be likely to succeed. Participants produced eight criteria. To avoid failures or counterproductive outcomes of such projects in the future, it would be valuable for the Commission to develop a comprehensive methodology for analysing the context and potential for success.
ECJ Advocate General: Forcing ISPs to block websites could be legal
The Austrian Supreme Court has sent a request to the European Court of Justice to clarify whether an ISP providing Internet access to those using an alleged illegal website was to be considered as an intermediary.
TPP may be worse than ACTA
A version of 30 August 2013 of the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) draft confirms previously expressed concerns that the negotiating parties are prepared to expand the reach of intellectual property rights to the detriment of consumer rights and data protection.
Failure of "Licenses for Europe"
Ahead of the last meeting of the "Licences for Europe" initiative, EDRi together with other four European civil rights organisations – Centrum Cyfrowe, Kennisland, Modern Poland Foundation and La Quadrature du Net – released, on 13 November 2013, the following joint press release reaffirming the urgent need of an European Copyright reform.

European Parliament draft report on private copy levies – serious or satire?
French Socialist MEP Françoise Castex published her draft report on private copying levies on 9 October. The biggest question that the document raises is... are you serious, Ms Castex?
The policy issue being addressed is that "creators" are meant to be "compensated" for private copies that are made of legally acquired content, such as music or printed material. In some EU countries, there are no levies, in some EU countries there are low levels of levies.
After 3 years: French authority Hadopi keeps proving its uselessness
After three years of existence, Hadopi French authority in charge with the infamous three-strikes gradual response system, has succeeded in proving nothing but a large waste of public money.
To mark its 3-year anniversary, Hadopi has issued its activity report which shows that, to the day, it has succeeded in ordering 1 sole Internet disconnection and, on the other hand, it has experienced large bureaucratic problems and issues with identifying subscribers.
Hadopi has sent a total of 1.912 million notifications to French Internet subscribers as strike one, 186 153 follow-up letters as strike 2 and has caused 1 disconnection as strike 3.
Only for 2013, Hapodi costs the French taxpayers 5.4 million Euro, large part of it spent to answer subscribers who make request regarding
Increased level of online censorship in Italy
AGECOM, Italy's independent Electronic Communications Authority, is on the verge of undertaking the power of ordering the removal of any online content that it deems to be in violation of the copyright law, without the need of the parliament or court approval.
Despite strong criticism from NGOs, ISPs, other companies or legal practitioners, the authority' new Draft Regulation on Copyright Protection on Electronic Communication Networks allows it to black out foreign sites and take down Italian ones alleged to have infringed the copyright law, within 48 hours, without any court decision.
The legislation is to be passed definitively in November 2013 after a decision from the European Union.

Spain: New penal sanctions proposed for alleged illegal linking
Spain plans to toughen its legislation by including penal sanctions for publishing links to alleged pirated content. From a very relaxed environment some years ago, Spain is, more and more, giving in to US pressure after having been threatened to be put on the blacklisted countries.
Since his election in December 2011, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has continued to increase its anti-piracy legislation, including the Sinde law. Now, on the 20 September 2013, the Spanish government approved an amendment to the penal code that introduces penalties to the admins of sites offering links to copyrighted works without the work owners' permission.

Cat's Eye ESP
This pedal is for the guitarist who wants classic "Jimi", but doesn't want all the problems that came with the original FuzzFace. Thru careful component selection, including the hand picked AC128 germanium transistors (for that classic Hendrix sound), and most of all, proper biasing, we've created a kickass fuzztone. We added true bypass switching, a Hi-Z input to drive the front end of any guitar amp, increased both the gain and the output levels, eliminated radio interference and oscillation, and reshaped the EQ for a better overall tone. Of course the Mista' Fuzz responds to a players own individual style and touch, and cleans up nicely using only your guitars volume knob, making subtle tone changes effortless.

Celebrity Auction Will Benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee
According to Feeding America 15.9 million children lived in food insecure households in 2012. Hunger in America exists for over 50 million people. That is 1 in 6 of the U.S. population – including more than 1 in 5 children.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Yoplait® Greek yogurt has teamed up with Universal Music Group Nashville to help fight hunger.
The two came together to engage with country music's finest in an effort to raise funds for food-insecure families in the Nashville area.
Artists including Luke Bryan, George Strait, Vince Gill, Easton Corbin, Dierks Bentley and more did their parts to raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee by signing an acoustic guitar, which will be auctioned off at leading charity auction site, Charitybuzz.com later this month.
Now, through December 3rd, consumers can take part in the auction by visiting Charitybuzz at http://chrty.bz/17TxLum and placing a bid on a musical package including the guitar, signed by more than 12 Universal Music Group Nashville artists, and tickets to a Universal Music Group Nashville artist's concert.

"No one should be hungry and I am honored to lend my name to help the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee," said Country Music Hall of Fame member, Vince Gill.
Yoplait® Greek's participation builds on Generals Mills' commitment to taking action against food insecurity. Over the last decade, General Mills has donated nearly $240 million in food donations to Feeding America and its member food banks to help feed children and families throughout the United States.
"We understand the importance and urgency of helping to fight hunger," said Liza Dopp, Yoplait® Greek marketing manager. "We want to do our part to help deliver food to families in need."
