Art Fabricated
By Nancy Ridgeway
October 9, 2013
Top fashion designers are bringing medieval art to the catwalk, thanks to advances in technology that allow digital images to be printed on fabric. The new trend has opened an avenue of research for art history professor Sarah Glover, who is studying the cultural use of images once found only in museums.
British-based Basso & Brooke introduced one of the first couture lines using this technology in 2004, and the trend propelled to the forefront of fashion world conversation in spring 2010, when the last line produced by the late designer Alexander McQueen was released. His styles featured a digital print inspired by the work of late medieval artist Hieronymus Bosch. Still popular, digital imagery is making its way into less expensive "fast fashion."
"You can spot it easily," Glover said of the artistic wear. "It's not just photographic reproduction on textile; a kind of surface patterning is involved."
The new look intrigued Glover because it seamlessly meshes her background in medieval art with her interest in fashion. "I am trained as a medievalist and am interested in why these images are being used like this."
She finds it interesting that in today's computer world, many of her students are seeing works by the Old Masters first as flat digital images on their computer screens, rather than the actual paintings and sculptures in a museum. Now those flat digital images are being transferred to fabrics that take on different 3-D looks when worn.
Glover recently returned from Oxford, England, where she presented her research at the Fifth Global Conference on Fashion: Exploring Critical Issues. "It was good for me because I wanted to see how people from other disciplines are approaching fashion. I met people with backgrounds in sociology, marketing, art, studio art practices philosophy, history, literature and more."
Her presentation focused on art images found on leggings and garments made by Black Milk, a Brisbane, Australia-based company that sells only online and whose target market is women in their late teens and early 20s.
"I was interested in their use of medieval, northern Renaissance and pop art images and how they are bringing museum art into their clothing," Glover said.
Her presentation looked at Black Milk's use of images, copyright issues, and "the very perfect fit of selling digital images in a medium that's purely digital. The company sells online, which is where customers converse about the products. When you buy Black Milk, you are buying into a community. Customers have meet-ups and can become members of regional groups. They get together and talk about their purchases and take pictures of themselves wearing the clothing. When you reach 100 Black Milk items, you get a dress," she said.
"In terms of my research, there's a narrow window to study this, because digital print fabric is a trend that will be shifting," she said.
The conference at Oxford occurred during fashion week in London and New York. "A line called Suno presented their recent collection, including some of their digital print textiles. Dolce & Gabanna included a collection of Byzantine in their current fall and winter collection."
However, suno, known for its busy digitized prints, recently introduced one solid white garment, a rejection of the cluttered.
Glover, who was on sabbatical in New Zealand during the spring 2013 semester, continues to research why art is coming to fashion. "This has a parallel to what happened in modern art when screen printing became popular. One reason this interests me so much is that I wonder how my students might encounter an image on the street."

Kitty Cat Katarina (League of Legends) – Cosplay of the Day
We've already seen how awesome Katarina can be in a previous Cosplay of the Day, but now we get to see the assassin's more playful side in an alternate skin called Kitty Cat Katarina. And yes, this kitty's got claws.
The Kitty Cat skin was available during the 2010 Harrowing event in League of Legends. The Harrowing, as one might guess, is Valoran's equivalent of Halloween, so it would make sense for the game's champions to dress up in different garb. Katarina's Kitty Cat costume was a popular addition, since, ya know ... catgirls are kind of a big thing.
This is Micuko Hikaru, a cosplayer from Russia, rocking it as the feline version of Katarina. It might not be the stealthiest of costumes for an assassin, but you can bet that her targets will be stunned and stare slack-jawed at her upon seeing her in this fabulous getup.
Take a look at more of her League of Legends cosplay offerings on her deviantART page and let us know if you think this kitty is purr-fect.
Want your Cosplay to be seen? Send your info to firstname.lastname@example.com and we may feature you in our Cosplay of the Day!

Thanks for reminding me of the other pizza genius, Dom DeMarco of DiFaras. I know Dom has also done something like Buddys pizza in that he uses what is an emergency dough. I didnt know though that he once showed you a drawer or something similar under his oven where he kept the emergency dough balls warm and cozy, like I am trying to do in the Hatco Unit. I wonder how long his dough balls stayed in the drawer. Did you taste any byproducts of fermentation in Doms crust, or were the toppings the star of the pizza you tried something like Buddys pizza?
I also looked on the web for higher hydration Sicilian doughs without any salt, but didnt find any.
Norma,My recollection is that the dough at DiFara's was made throughout the day, much as Buddy's does. I don't recall discussing how long the dough balls were held in the drawer. As far as the crust flavors were concerned, we made the mistake of ordering a lot of vegetable toppings and, as a result, the crust was on the soggy side. I don't recall that there were a lot of crust flavors per se.I wouldn't expect that you would find many Sicilian doughs without salt, at least in the U.S., where people crave salt in their bread products. As mentioned previously in the context of the Chicago deep-dish doughs, there are very few such doughs that use no salt but they are not completely unheard of. According to the Slice article at http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2012/05/detroit-the-guerra-legacy-lives-on-at-cloverleaf.html, allegedly Gus Guerra, the founder of Buddy's, got the idea for the Sicilian style pizza from his Sicilian mother-in-law. That tidbit of information prompted me to do some searching for Sicilian bread products that call for no salt. I found examples for salt-free Sicilian bread and focaccia and pizza dough at http://www.siciliancookingplus.com/Bread-Making.html, http://sicilyscene.blogspot.com/2008/07/focaccia.html and http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=1724529. I did not find examples of high-hydration Sicilian pizza doughs so I can't point to something that Gus Guerra might have gotten from his Sicilian mother-in-law. On this point, I have always tended to be suspicious of famous and successful Italian pizza operators who claim that their dough recipes came from Italy, usually a parent or some other family member. I recall reading about such claims at Papa Gino's (its predecessor), Home Run Inn, Giordano's and Jets, just to cite the ones off the top of my head.My view on salt for the Buddy's clones is to use it if desired. Maybe one day we will learn whether Buddy's uses salt in its dough and whether its Nutrition information reflects such use. Peter
Fab Norma!!
Rocco sounds like quite a character, tell him he can start by buying some pizza! I've enjoyed seeing how your Buddy's clones progressed. You and Peter did a really good job. Do you plan on offering them regularly?

My Great Outdoors: Margaret's 2-Balcony Kitchen Garden
Name: Margaret
Location: Chicago, IL
Type of space: Wooden balcony
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: I fell in love with this apartment because it has two balconies, a cooler cement one on the north side, and a sunny wooden one on the south side. The view from the south deck is of a lovely backyard next door, and then a park beyond that. Way in the distance is the Sears Tower and the Trump Tower, which remind me what city I live in! It's been cool and rainy so far this summer, but on nice days I sit outside, and every day I check on the plants. Kitchen gardening has always been important to me, and we are growing as much as we can in containers: two types of basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, dill, cilantro, chives, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and cucumber.
How did you create it? We started the garden on a smaller scale last year, but this year were much more systematic about it. I bought groups of plastic pots in coordinating colors, so that there would be a theme, but not all the pots would be exactly the same. For the big plants, we constructed our own self-irrigating grow boxes out of Rubbermaid tubs and old plastic dairy containers. They are not beautiful, but as my giant tomato plant attests, they are functional.
The two things I most disliked about my outdoor space last year was no light and only having furniture that had been rescued from alleys. Since there was no outlet, I used solar powered lights and a battery powered lantern. While I'm proud of having recycled so many pieces that were trash, I have reached a compromise between free furniture and nice looking furniture. The alley furniture is still out there, but much of it has been repurposed into plant stands and trellises. But to make the space more lovely and functional, I bought an outdoor table and chairs. They fold flat, and will come in over the winter.
Recommended store, site, product or resource? Most products came from Target. I also love the outdoor pieces at CB2.

HOPEDALE � For an election year with only one contested race on the Planning Board, only 259 voters came out to the polls � a turnout of�less than one�percent.
Michael Iacovelli, a carpenter and lifelong Hopedale resident who has never served on a town board or committee, beat out Don Howes for the four-year seat on the board, winning by a vote of 165 to 86.
Howes, who also serves on the Board of Assessors and Cemetery Committee, had served on the Planning Board since his appointment in October.
Other incumbents who will retain their seats include Robert Burns, current selectmen chairman; James Morin, current Water and Sewer Commission chairman; John Farrar, current chairman of the Road Commisison; Nancy Verdolino, member of the Board of Library Trustees; Patricia Johnson, member of the Housing Authority; and Walter Swift, current Tree Warden.
Swift also took a seat on the Board of Health.
Swift has a long history of serving on town boards, including stints on the Board of Health, Council on Aging, Conservation Commission, Water and Sewer Commission, Planning Board and one term on the Board of Selectmen.
Craig Adams, an auditor, took the School Committee seat left open by Dan Iacovelli, who did not seek reelection.
No candidates came forward for two open seats � one on the Housing Authority and another on the Parks Commission, but Robert Jackson received 32 write-in votes for the latter.
Six write-ins came in for the Housing Authority seat, but each were for a different candidate so nobody was elected to the five-year term.
At 5 p.m., only 189 out of 3,784 registered voters had come to the polls.
"It�s been pretty slow," Town Clerk Janet Jacaruso said.
In other election years with more contested races, Jacaruso said the number usually creeps into the 400s.

Hamachi is a proprietary (closed source) commercial VPN software. With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own virtual network for direct secure communication.
- 1 Initial Configuration
- 2 Download And Install Hamachi
- 3 Running Hamachi
- 5 Troubleshooting
Initial Configuration
To run Hamachi you need /dev/net/tun.
This is created by the tun module. As root run,
modprobe tun
Or you can manually create /dev/net/tun by running...
mkdir /dev/net mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
Also, make sure to add the "tun" modules to rc.conf so that /dev/net/tun is created next time your computer turns on.
MODULES=(... ... ... ... ... tun ... ... ...)
Download And Install Hamachi
Manual installation
Head to hamachi.cc and download their linux client.
Untar it
tar zxvf hamachi-x.x.x-x.tar.gz
cd hamachi-x.x.x-x make install
And run tunecfg
cd tuncfg ./tuncfg
Run hamachi-init
And thats the installation.
Version 2 beta
Version 2 of the Linux Hamachi client exists, and is currently in beta. It is available from the labs page on the hamachi website.
hamachiAUR is available in the AUR. The vendor's tarball requires LSB and will not install correctly.
Running Hamachi
Start up the (matt) daemon
$hamachi start
Now you have a whole bunch of commands at your disposal. These are in no particular order, and are fairly self explanitory.
$hamachi set-nick bob $hamachi login $hamachi create my-net secretpassword $hamachi go-online my-net $hamachi list $hamachi go-offline my-net
To get a list of all the commands just run:
$hamachi ?
Note: Make sure you change the status of the channel(s) you are in to online if you want to perform any network actions on computers in there.
As a Daemon
You can run hamachi as a daemon this way:
Copy your configuration to /root directory:
cp -R ~/.hamachi /root/
Create a script in /etc/rc.d/ called hamachi using your preferred editor:
. /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions DAEMON=/usr/bin/hamachi NAME=hamachi DESC="Hamachi VPN client" PID_FILE=/var/run/daemons/hamachi case "$1" in start) #Check for running tuntap, start when not running ck_daemon tuntap && /etc/rc.d/tuntap start stat_busy "Starting $DESC" $DAEMON -c /root/.hamachi $1 > /dev/null if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then stat_fail else add_daemon $NAME stat_done fi ;; stop) stat_busy "Stopping $DESC" [ -f $PID_FILE ] && $DAEMON -c /root/.hamachi $1 > /dev/null if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then stat_fail else rm_daemon $NAME stat_done fi ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" ;; esac exit 0
Remeber to add hamachi to your daemons array in /etc/rc.conf, it should be put after tuntap.
And do not forget to:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/hamachi
Various GUI frontends to hamachi are available in the AUR.
For hamachi 1:
- haguichi (Gtk2, mono)
- ghamachi (Gtk2)
- hamachi-gui (Gtk2)
For hamachi 2 beta:
- quamachi (Qt4)
- haguichi (Gtk2, mono)
If Hamachi times out soon after launch
If hamachi stops working after a short period of time it can be that the client is timing out. Create ~/.hamachi/config and add the following to it:
KeepAlive 10
If you have problem connecting to some hosts
Check if they are using Hamachi2, if that is the case then it's a known issue in Hamachi2 client connecting to the Hamachi linux client.
If /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi is not found
Replace this with /etc/rc.d/logmein-hamachi.
Error when trying to run hamachi-init
If there is error while trying to load libstdc++.so.5 you want to install it can be found from extra repository so you can install it with Pacman -S libstdc++5
If you get error while trying to load libcrypto.so.0.9.7 temporarily solution is to create link from /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 to /usr/lib/libcrypto.so with ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7

Dylan Farrow: Dad Woody Allen Sexually Assaulted Me at Age 7
UPDATE 2: Woody Allen responds to the claims. Read it here!
UPDATE 1: Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin release statements about the allegations.
Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, is opening up for the first time about her allegation that her father sexually assaulted her at age 7.
"[W]hen I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother's electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me," Dylan wrote in an open letter posted by The New York Times.
"Woody Allen was never convicted of any crime. That he got away with what he did to me haunted me as I grew up," she added: "That torment was made worse by Hollywood. All but a precious few (my heroes) turned a blind eye. Most found it easier to accept the ambiguity, to say, 'who can say what happened,' to pretend that nothing was wrong. Actors praised him at awards shows. Networks put him on TV. Critics put him in magazines."
In the letter, Dylan asked stars like Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin "What if it had been your child"? and asks Emma Stone and Scarlett Johansson "What if it had been you?"
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Dylan Farrow's open letter about her father Woody Allen?

Trailing 24-0 at the half No. 20 Cal Lutheran completed its comeback with 16 seconds left to defeat No. 13 Redlands, 28-24.
Box Score: CLU 28, UR 24 - F
Cal Lutheran climbed back to within a 24-21 deficit with just over three minutes left in regulation. Redlands elected to punt facing fourth-and-short near midfield and pinned the Kingsmen down at their own two-yard line.
"We were hoping to kick a field goal to tie, but thinking touchdown to win it," said Head Coach Ben McEnroe.
Quarterback Jake Laudenslayer put his coach's thoughts into action as he engineered a 10-play, 98-yard drive. He capped it off by plunging in from one yard out in the final seconds to give Cal Lutheran a four-point lead with only seconds remaining.
"I have never seen anything like that," said McEnroe. "You learn so many life lessons in this game; today they learned you keep fighting as long as you have a chance. That's what we built this program on and it's great to see it come to fruition."
Most of the CLU contingent was resigned to the fact that Redlands dominated the first quarter rushing for 167 yards and two touchdowns. CLU trailed 17-0 after one frame when the Bulldogs conducted a nine-play, 80-yard drive and scored just 10 seconds before halftime to score a morale busting touchdown and take a 24-0 lead.
"We were embarrassed at our first half performance," said McEnroe. "We told them 'you are going to lose our (SCIAC) championship trophy if we don't start focusing on one play at a time.'"
After some stringent second half defense and 28 unanswered points on offense, Cal Lutheran can rest easy for at least another week.
UR quarterback Chad Hurst had 10 carries for 86 yards and a touchdown on the ground to go along with 97 yards and a passing touchdown in the first half alone. The CLU defense then held Redlands to only 67 total offensive yards in the second half forcing five punts, a missed field goal and a final play interception by Luis Villavicencio in the end zone to preserve a victory.
CLU opened the second half converting a pair of third downs on its first drive en route to its first points courtesy of a Daniel Mosier touchdown run. Each of Cal Lutheran's four second half touchdown drives were nine plays or more and 61 yards or longer.
Cal Lutheran went to a hurry-up, aerial attack more frequently after rushing for negative yardage in the first half. Laudenslayer finished 25-of-42 for 313 yards and found Eric Rogers for both passing touchdowns.
"We put the game in (Laudenslayer's) hands. We wanted to be more balanced but then we had to rely on him."
He threw for over 200 yards in the second half, but on the final drive a 26-yard run down to the nine yard line and his final rush attempt of the game were key plays in the game-winning possession. Laudenslayer found nine different targets, including himself, led by Rogers who finished with six catches for 120 yards.
Cal Lutheran (2-1, 1-0 SCIAC) will host Whittier (1-2, 0-1 SCIAC) on Saturday, Oct. 8 at 1 p.m.

Pretillage, postincorporation mulch deterioration measured in broccoli growing experiments
Scientists evaluated three potentially biodegradable plastic mulch products over two growing seasons of broccoli to determine deterioration before and after soil incorporation. Pretillage mulch deterioration was evaluated in both growing seasons by rating the percent visual deterioration. Postincorporation mulch deterioration was measured for 13 months at the end of the first growing season. Results showed that two of the mulches could be suitable alternatives to polyethylene mulch for broccoli production in the Pacific Northwest.

Somewhere Between: A Documentary
Four baby girls are born in China to families who are unable to keep them, largely because of China's "One Child Policy." Instead of being raised by their biological parents, the baby girls are raised in orphanages, and then eventually adopted by American families to be whisked halfway around the world to the United States. There, they grow up with Sesame Street, hip-hop, and Twitter. They describe themselves as "bananas": white on the inside and yellow on the outside. All is well, until they hit their teen years, when their pasts pull at them, and they begin to wonder, "Who am I?"All four know they were probably "given up" because they were girls (they are understandably uncomfortable with the word "abandoned"), and grapple with issues of race, gender, and identity more acutely than most their age.
Documentaries have been made before about international adoption, but they have always been from the point of view of the adoptive, Caucasian parents, or the adult adoptee. Young women's voices are rarely heard—especially young women of color. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN lets four teenaged girls—Fang, Haley, Ann, and Jenna—tell their own stories, letting the film unfold from their points of view and shedding light on their deepest thoughts: about their families, their feelings of being "other," and their powerful connections to a past that most of them cannot recall.
The film captures nearly three years in the lives of these four dynamic young women.
The screening schedule is here. Trailer here.

The Super Moon is coming
The super moon is coming.
The moon turns full at 6:32 a.m. CT on Sunday morning, and just 32 minutes earlier it will arrive at its closest point to the Earth in 2013 - a distance of 221,824 miles. Such a moon should produce very low and very high tides for a couple of days.
I ranked this year's super moon as one of my top 10 skywatching events of 2013.
A super moon is loosely defined (which is to say, not with scientific rigor) as when the full moon occurs at or near (within 90 percent of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit.
Truth be told it can be difficult with the naked eye to discern a super moon from a regular moon. However, another fact is that most people ignore the moon.
So on Saturday night or Sunday morning, don't ignore the moon. Look up. And be in awe that we as humans have walked upon that distant rock.

Static Analysis Limitations
The following are known limitations affecting features based on static source analysis:
- Argument number, name, and type is not determined for functions and methods in extension modules.
- Analysis sometimes fails to identify the type of a construct because Python code doesn't always provide clues to determine the data type.
- Types of elements in lists, tuples, and dictionaries are not identified.
- Analysis information may be out of date if you edit a file externally with another editor and don't reload it in Wing. See section Auto-reloading Changed Files for reload options.
- From time to time, as Python changes, some newer Python language constructs and possible type inferencing cases are not supported.
A good way to work around these limitations, when they arise, is to place a breakpoint in the code where you are working, run to it, and then auto-completion and other information presented by the IDE will be based on the actual runtime state rather than static analysis.
See Helping Wing Analyze Code for more information.

Hubble Space Telescope Images of M87
Astronomers find that the supermassive black hole at the center of the most massive local galaxy (M87) is not where it was expected. Their research, conducted using the Hubble Space Telescope, concludes that the supermassive black hole in M87 is displaced from the galaxy center.
At right is a large-scale image of galaxy M87 taken in 1998 with Hubble's Wide-Field Planetary Camera 2. The two images at left show an image taken in 2006 with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. The position of the supermassive black hole is indicated by the black dot in the lower left panel, and a knot in the jet (HST-1), which was flaring in 2006, is also indicated on this panel. The red dot indicates the center of the galaxy's light distribution, which is offset from the position of the black hole by about 22 light-years.

Fudan Visit Yields Possible Exchangeby Gary Phillips, Dean of the College • October 19, 2011 Share:
Shanghai — After a 14.5-hour direct flight from Chicago to Shanghai we were greeted upon arrival by Hao Liu, '2011 and his co-worker Ms. Zi Hu. Hao escorted us to the Crown Plaza Fudan and from there to a near-by restaurant where we talked about matters Wabash and China, international studies and business entreprenurialship, economics and Chinese food. Hao has begun a company that recruits Chinese students and American liberal arts professors to an innovative summer studies program that will expand to four major Chinese cities next summer. Working with Chinese universities, including East China Normal University in Shaghai, Hao serves as a broker to marry liberal arts teaching with Chinese student interest and need. We have come to find out that Chinese educators are keen to learn more about liberal education and to transform current Chinese practices in ways that learn from the indigenous US liberal arts model. Caleb Mills would be most proud.
Kay Widdows, Qian Pullen, Pat White and I met today for 3 hours with Fudan University officials to discuss a collaboration that would lead to student and faculty exchange between the two institutions and Fudan faculty coming to the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts to investigate American liberal arts practices. Fudan Vice-President Fang Lu headed the Fudan delegation along with Lizhu Fan, Dean of the Center for Social Development and Professor of Sociology (my counter part); Prof. Zhang Yi, Director of the International Student Office; Prof. Li Hong, Director of the International Exchange Section; Prof. Liu Li, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office and; and Prof. Liu Ye, Vice-President of the Fudan Educational Development Foundation. Pat and I first met Vice-President Liu three years ago in New York City on the occasion of Fudan's launching of its US Alumni and Advancement Office. Fudan has 10,000 alumnae currently living in the US. Prof. Liu returned to Fudan from the US just to meet with us. Dean Fan is a scholar of Chinese religion and has worked with colleagues at Notre Dame on the place of religion in Chinese culture. Already the wheels in my head are turning about ways to parlay that expertise into a collaborative teaching opportunity for her at Wabash.
In photo above right, Fudan Vice President Lu and President White after agreements are reached on faculty and student exchanges.
The meeting exceeded all of our expectations. Vice-President Fang has specifically requested that we begin a conversation about ways to bring Wabash faculty and students to Fudan and Fudan faculty and students to Wabash next summer. Fudan is interested in the Wabash student culture, in particular the way fraternities work in support of student life; the Gentleman's Rule; and the nature of single-sex education. "Fudan" literally means "heavenly Light shines day after day", which translates practically into "inexhaustible self-reliance and industriousness." Pat immediately connected this to the spirited "Wabash Always Fights" and our pride in educating young men to think for themselves and to become leaders in their community and nation. The Fudan delegation shared with us the growing concern among Chinese educators of the "plight" of Chinese males and the search for successful educational models for engaging young men in college in ways that lead to success. This was music to our ears. During the lunch that concluded our meeting, three of the officials confided that they they wanted to find a way to bring their sons to Wabash. Of course, we took their names and promised Steve Klein would be in touch with them soon. The great irony was not lost on us that at a time when the liberal arts is under pressure in the US to give way to narrow practical, job-focused training, the Chinese are looking to introduce the liberal arts so as, as Vice-President Fang said "to enable Chinese students to think broadly not narrowly."
What do the Chinese see that seems obscure to our own countrymen?
Our wider discussion of the liberal arts, the Center of Inquiry and its assessment expertise, and the Wabash spirit of student-focused, student-led teaching and learning made us aware that Wabash College with its 910 students and 76 faculty indeed has something to offer to Fudan with its 40,000 students and 2800 faculty, and their fantastic opportunities for language instruction and cultural studies has something to offer Wabash students and faculty int his city of 20 million. The possibilities are enormous, and they are ready to begin immediately, this summer! We were invited to bring students and faculty to Fudan next June as participants in the inaugural Shanghai Summer School program that will focus on language instruction (at all levels) and coursework in the full range of liberal arts subject matter. Wabash faculty participating in the Mellon Grant Program now have an anchor and home for their work that could be most exciting.
Fudan is in the first year of a liberal arts college experiment where they seek to develop discussion-based pedagogy and to encourage student self-reliance and individual responsibility for learning. This giant Chinese institution sees in Wabash a collaborative partner from whom they can learn. We would join the ranks of other US universities that include Rice, USC, Columbia, Trinity (CT) and Washington University (St. Louis) as American partners. Not shabby company.
Qian Pullen has been an extraordinary guide and interpreter for our group, shepherding us through the maze of Chinese customs and protocols. The trip would not have been possible without her and Kay Widdows' labor. We are exceeding fortunate to have both guiding what will be an exciting Asian Studies venture and adventure at Wabash that is now beginning to unfold. Pat has led impressively, as seen in the photos with Vice-President Fang.
Kay is our official photographer and has captured several important moments, including our meeting with the Fudan delegation before the giant statue of Mao Zedong that stands at the entrance to the Fudan campus.
Fudan is populated by many cats who run free across the camps. There is a running joke and play on the word "Mao" that our Fudan guests shared with us. "Mao" translates "cat." So it was only fitting that we take a group photo with one of Fudan's famous felines at the foot of the "Big Cat." The homophonic play between "meow" and "Mao" evoked much laughter.
Laughter and generosity, shared concerns and interests. A great discovery and start. So all-in-all a fantastically positive and exhausting day at Fudan. We expect to hammer out a detailed agreement after we return home. Most certainly a Wabash delegation will return in June to cement the arrangements and what we hope will be the beginning of a longterm relationship with a flagship Chinese university that seeks to learn more about liberal arts learning practices from a small Mid-western college in the cornfields of Indiana. Who would have thought.

Marie Julie Jahenny of La Fraudais (19th century, France)
She had five wounds of Our Lord. As a result she was called "The Breton Stigmatist". She had the marvellous gift recognizing Eucharistic bread from ordinary bread, objects that were blessed and those that were not ; relics and to say where they came from, and finally to understand in several language hymns and liturgical prayers. During a five year period from December 28, 1875 she survived only on Holy Communion. As Dr. Imbert-Gourbeyre recorded, during this whole period, there were no liquid or solid excretions. She was completely insensitive to pain or intense light during her ecstasies. Some of these ecstasies were accompanied by levitation; at that moment she was ecstatically light.
had a vision of a dialogue between Our Lord and Lucifer and the latter said
"I will attack the Church. I will overthrow the Cross, I will decimate the people, I will deposit a great weakness of Faith in hearts. There will also be A GREAT DENIAL OF RELIGION. For a time I will be MASTER of all things, everything will be under MY CONTROL, even Your temple and all Your people."
"Saint Michael says that Satan will have possession of everything for some time and that he will reign completely over everything ; that all goodness, Faith, Religion will be buried in the tomb. . . Satan and his own will triumph with joy, but after this triumph, the Lord will in His turn gather His own people and will REIGN and TRIUMPH OVER EVIL and WILL RAISE UP from the tomb the buried Church, the prostrated Cross. . . "
Marie-Julie saw that "there will not remain any vestige of the Holy Sacrifice, no apparent trace of faith. CONFUSION will be everywhere..."
the works approved by the infallible Church will cease to exist as they are
today for a time. In this sorrowful annihilation, brilliant signs will be manifested
on earth. If because of the wickedness of men Holy Church will be in darkness,
the Lord will also send darkness that will stop the wicked in their search of
wickedness. . . "
On November 27, 1902 and May 10, 1904, Our Lord and Our Lady announced the conspiracy to invent the "New Mass":
«I give you a WARNING. The disciples who are not of My Gospel are now working hard to remake according to their ideas and under the influence of the enemy of souls a MASS that contains words that are ODIOUS in My sight.»
«When the fatal hour arrives when the faith of my priests is put to the test, it will be (these texts) that will be celebrated in this SECOND period... The FIRST period is (the one) of my priesthood which exists since Me. The SECOND is (the one) of the persecution when the ENEMIES of the Faith and of Holy Religion (will impose their formulas) in the book of the second celebration.. These infamous spirits are those who crucified me and are awaiting Tthe kingdom of THE NEW MESSIAH.»
Marie-Julie announced the three days of darkness during which the infernal powers will be loosed and will execute all the enemies of God. "The crisis will explode suddenly; the punishments will be shared by all and will succeed one another without interruption... "( January 4, 1884).
three days of darkness « will be on a THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. Days
of the Most Holy Sacrament, of the Cross and Our Lady. . . .» three days
less one night."
"«The earth will be covered in darkness», says Our Lady on 20th of September 1882, AND HELL WILL BE LOOSED ON EARTH. Thunder and lightning will cause those who have no faith or trust in My Power, to die of fear."
"During these three days of terrifying darkness, no windows must be opened, because no one will be able to see the earth and the terrible colour it will have in those days of punishment without dying at once... "

'I don't conform to any style or genre. I'm free as a bird and fly where I please. My creativity would suffer, if I only flew in one direction. Free, free, free is my motto.' ~ Natalie Holland. Being an artist is a great adventure. I love to paint and experiment in different mediums because each offers a unique quality. Self-expression is very important to me regardless of medium. I often break rules and don't confine myself in any type or technique. If I were to restrict myself to any one type, subject or technique I would kill the creative fire that motivates me.

Two dogs and a cat died on Friday morning after a fire at 110 Overbrook broke out shortly after 10 a.m. According to a neighbor, resident Brandy Bacon left the house for a short errand and returned to find the house on fire and Warwick firefighters extinguishing the blaze, which seemed confined mostly to the back of the residence. Neighbors consoled Brandy Bacon, who shares the residence with husband Jon Paul Bacon, as the firefighters sifted through the ashes to recover two dogs and one cat, all of which, apparently, died of smoke inhalation.
Warwick Fire gave no conclusive cause for the fire but a preliminary examination indicated that it started with an appliance in the left rear quarter of the residence, which also showed the most extensive damage. The house has been boarded up and a contractor was at the residence on Monday, assessing the cost and time it will take to make the house habitable again. Here, firefighters clean up after extinguishing the blaze.

I would like to clarify the issue of the F-bomb as there appears to be some misunderstanding.In an effort to focus on the real purpose of our media interviews yesterday, we jokingly diffused and made light of any questions about it. It had been obvious that I had said it under my breath. It came after a very long, frustrating day as well as dealing with a painful hamstring injury, not having slept for 30 hours, being dehydrated and there had been a history of verbal attacks from Brett. The Producers opted to single out this under-the-breath comment in the show and I apologize to the news outlets and to anyone I have offended. Joanne McLeod

Eat This: Orecchietta Pasta at Fino's Italian Bistro
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears." So begins the famous Marc Antony speech memorized by many a high school speech, drama, or English student back in the day, and immortalized by Marlon Brando in the infamous 1953 movie Julius Caesar. In modern Italian cooking terms, orecchietta is a home-made pasta from the Apulia region which is shaped to resemble a small ear. At Fino's Italian Bistro, one of chef Alfredo's favorite dishes to prepare is Orecchietta with spicy Italian sausage, broccoli, zucchini, and parmesan cheese in tomato sauce. If you cock your ear close to the plate, you just might catch a few strands of Shakespeare's immortal verse. In any case, grab every friend and countryman and all the Romans you can find and head to this neighborhood gem for a pasta feast.

The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for more than twenty-four (24) hours and not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited".[3] Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2007, there were over 903 million international tourist arrivals, with a growth of 6.6% as compared to 2006. International tourist receipts were USD 856 billion in 2007.[4]Despite the uncertainties in the global economy, international tourist arrivals during the first four months of 2008 followed a similar growth trend than the same period in 2007.[4] However, as a result of the economic crisis of 2008, international travel demand suffered a strong slowdown beginning in June 2008, with growth in international tourism arrivals worldwide falling to 2% during the boreal summer months, while growth from January to April 2008 had reached an average 5.7% compared to its 2007 level. Growth from 2006 to 2007 was only 3.7%, as total international tourism arrivals from January to August were 641 million tourists, up from 618 million in the same period in 2007.[5]Tourism is vital for many countries, such as the U.A.E, Egypt, Greece and Thailand, and many island nations, such as The Bahamas, Fiji, Maldives and the Seychelles, due to the large intake of money for businesses with their goods and services and the opportunity for employment in the service industries associated with tourism. These service industries include transportation services, such as airlines, cruise ships and taxis, hospitality services, such as accommodations, including hotels and resorts, and entertainment venues, such as amusement parks, casinos, shopping malls, various music venues and the theatre.DefinitionHunziker and Krapf, in 1941, defined tourism as people who travel "the sum of the phenomena and relationships arising from the travel and stay of non-residents, insofar as they do not lead to permanent residence and are not connected with any earning activity."[6] In 1976, the Tourism Society of England's definition was: "Tourism is the temporary, short-term movement of people to destination outside the places where they normally live and work and their activities during the stay at each destination. It includes movements for all purposes."[citation needed] In 1981, the International Association of Scientific Experts in Tourism defined tourism in terms of particular activities selected by choice and undertaken outside the home.[7]The United Nations classified three forms of tourism in 1994, in its "Recommendations on Tourism Statistics: Domestic tourism", which involves residents of the given country traveling only within this country; Inbound tourism, involving non-residents traveling in the given country; and Outbound tourism, involving residents traveling in another country.[citation needed] The UN also derived different categories of tourism by combining the three basic forms of tourism: Internal tourism, which comprises domestic tourism and inbound tourism; National tourism, which comprises domestic tourism and outbound tourism; and International tourism, which consists of inbound tourism and outbound tourism. Intrabound tourism is a term coined by the Korea Tourism Organization and widely accepted in orea.[citation needed] Intrabound tourism differs from domestic tourism in that the former encompasses policymaking and implementation of national tourism policies.[citation needed]Recently, the tourism industry has shifted from the promotion of inbound tourism to the promotion of intrabound tourism, because many countries are experiencing tough competition for inbound tourists.[citation needed] Some national policymakers have shifted their priority to the promotion of intrabound tourism to contribute to the local economy. Examples of such campaigns include: "See America" in the United States; "Truly Asia" in Malaysia; "Get Going Canada" in Canada; "Peru. Live the Legend" in Peru; "Wow Philippines" in the Philippines; "Uniquely Singapore" in Singapore; "100% Pure New Zealand" in New Zealand; "Amazing Thailand" in Thailand; "Incredible India" in India; and "The Hidden Charm" in Vietnam.[citation needed]HistoryKinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion temple in Kyoto, Japan.Dubai, UAEThe Matterhorn, near Zermatt in the Swiss Alps.The Great Bath at the Roman Baths in Bath, Somerset, one of the world's first health tourism sites.Ski jumping hill in Karpacz, PolandWealthy people have always traveled to distant parts of the world, to see great buildings, works of art, learn new languages, experience new cultures and to taste different cuisines. Long ago, at the time of the Roman Republic, places such as Baiae, were popular coastal resorts for the rich. The word tourism was used by 1811 and tourist by 1840.[19] In 1936, the League of Nations defined foreign tourist as "someone travelling abroad for at least twenty-four hours". Its successor, the United Nations, amended this definition in 1945, by including a maximum stay of six months.[20][edit] Leisure travelLeisure travel was associated with the Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom – the first European country to promote leisure time to the increasing industrial population.[citation needed] Initially, this applied to the owners of the machinery of production, the economic oligarchy, the factory owners and the traders. These comprised the new middle class. Cox & Kings was the first official travel company to be formed in 1758.[21]The British origin of this new industry is reflected in many place names. In Nice, France, one of the first and best-established holiday resorts on the French Riviera, the long esplanade along the seafront is known to this day as the Promenade des Anglais; in many other historic resorts in continental Europe, old, well-established palace hotels have names like the Hotel Bristol, the Hotel Carlton or the Hotel Majestic – reflecting the dominance of English customers.Many leisure-oriented tourists travel to the tropics, both in the summer and winter. Places often visited are: Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Thailand, North Queensland in Australia and Florida in the United States.[edit] Winter tourismMajor ski resorts are located in the various European countries (e.g. Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland), Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Chile and Argentina.[edit] Mass tourismMass tourism could only have developed with the improvements in technology, allowing the transport of large numbers of people in a short space of time to places of leisure interest, so that greater numbers of people began to enjoy the benefits of leisure time.In the United States, the first great seaside resort, in the European style, was Atlantic City, New Jersey and Long Island, New York.In continental Europe, early resorts included: Ostend, popularized by the people of Brussels; Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais) and Deauville (Calvados) for the Parisians; and Heiligendamm, founded in 1797, as the first seaside resort at the Baltic Sea.[edit] Adjectival tourismsSee also: List of adjectival tourismsAdjectival tourism refers to the numerous niche or specialty travel forms of tourism that have emerged over the years, each with its own adjective. Many of these have come into common use by the tourism industry and academics.[citation needed] Others are emerging concepts that may or may not gain popular usage. Examples of the more common niche tourism markets include:Recent developmentsRed Square in Moscow, Russia.Iguazu Falls on the Argentina-Brazil borderGalápagos Islands, EcuadorPragueBuenos AiresN Seoul Tower in South Korea.There has been an upmarket trend in the tourism over the last few decades, especially in Europe, where international travel for short breaks is common.[citation needed] Tourists have higher levels of disposable income and greater leisure time and they are also better-educated and have more sophisticated tastes.[citation needed] There is now a demand for a better quality products, which has resulted in a fragmenting of the mass market for beach vacations; people want more specialised versions, such as Club 18-30, quieter resorts, family-oriented holidays or niche market-targeted destination hotels.The developments in technology and transport infrastructure, such as jumbo jets, low-cost airlines and more accessible airports have made many types of tourism more affordable. There have also been changes in lifestyle, such as retiree-age people who sustain year round tourism. This is facilitated by internet sales of tourism products. Some sites have now started to offer dynamic packaging, in which an inclusive price is quoted for a tailor-made package requested by the customer upon impulse.There have been a few setbacks in tourism, such as the September 11 attacks and terrorist threats to tourist destinations, such as in Bali and several European cities. Also, on December 26, 2004, a tsunami, caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, hit the Asian countries on the Indian Ocean, including the Maldives. Thousands of lives were lost and many tourists died. This, together with the vast clean-up operation in place, has stopped or severely hampered tourism to the area.The terms tourism and travel are sometimes used interchangeably. In this context, travel has a similar definition to tourism, but implies a more purposeful journey. The terms tourism and tourist are sometimes used pejoratively, to imply a shallow interest in the cultures or locations visited by tourists.[edit] Sustainable tourism"Sustainable tourism is envisaged as leading to management of all resources in such a way that economic, social and aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity and life support systems." (World Tourism Organization)Sustainable development implies "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)[22][edit] Eco-tourismMain article: Eco-tourism[edit] Medical tourismMain article: Medical tourismWhen there is a significant price difference between countries for a given medical procedure, particularly in Southeast Asia, India, Eastern Europe and where there are different regulatory regimes, in relation to particular medical procedures (e.g. dentistry), travelling to take advantage of the price or regulatory differences is often referred to as "medical tourism".[edit] Educational tourismEducational tourism developed, because of the growing popularity of teaching and learning of knowledge and the enhancing of technical competency outside of the classroom environment.[citation needed] In educational tourism, the main focus of the tour or leisure activity includes visiting another country to learn about the culture, such as in Student Exchange Programs and Study Tours, or to work and apply skills learned inside the classroom in a different environment, such as in the International Practicum Training Program.[edit] Other developments[edit] Creative tourismCreative tourism has existed as a form of cultural tourism, since the early beginnings of tourism itself. Its European roots date back to the time of the Grand Tour, which saw the sons of aristocratic families traveling for the purpose of mostly interactive, educational experiences. More recently, creative tourism has been given its own name by Crispin Raymond and Greg Richards[citation needed], who as members of the Association for Tourism and Leisure Education (ATLAS), have directed a number of projects for the European Commission, including cultural and crafts tourism, known as sustainable tourism. They have defined "creative tourism" as tourism related to the active participation of travelers in the culture of the host community, through interactive workshops and informal learning experiences.[citation needed]Meanwhile, the concept of creative tourism has been picked up by high-profile organizations such as UNESCO, who through the Creative Cities Network, have endorsed creative tourism as an engaged, authentic experience that promotes an active understanding of the specific cultural features of a place.[citation needed]More recently, creative tourism has gained popularity as a form of cultural tourism, drawing on active participation by travelers in the culture of the host communities they visit. Several countries offer examples of this type of tourism development, including the United Kingdom, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Spain, Italy and New Zealand.[edit] Dark tourismOne emerging area of special interest tourism has been identified by Lennon and Foley (2000)[citation needed] as "dark" tourism. This type of tourism involves visits to "dark" sites, such as battlegrounds, scenes of horrific crimes or acts of genocide, for example: concentration camps. Dark tourism poses severe ethical and moral dilemmas: should these sites be available for visitation and, if so, what should the nature of the publicity involved be. Dark tourism remains a small niche market, driven by varied motivations, such as mourning, remembrance, macabre curiosity or even entertainment. Its early origins are rooted in fairgrounds and medieval fairs.[23][edit] Growthnternational tourism receipts in 2005he Hagia Sophia – originally a church, later a mosque, now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey.The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) forecasts that international tourism will continue growing at the average annual rate of 4 %.[24] By 2020 Europe will remain the most popular destination, but its share will drop from 60% in 1995 to 46%. Long-haul will grow slightly faster than intraregional travel and by 2020 its share will increase from 18% in 1995 to 24%.[citation needed]With the advent of e-commerce, tourism products have become one of the most traded items on the internet.[citation needed] Tourism products and services have been made available through intermediaries, although tourism providers (hotels, airlines, etc.) can sell their services directly. This has put pressure on intermediaries from both on-line and traditional shops.It has been suggested there is a strong correlation between Tourism expenditure per capita and the degree to which countries play in the global context.[25] Not only as a result of the important economic contribution of the tourism industry, but also as an indicator of the degree of confidence with which global citizens leverage the resources of the globe for the benefit of their local economies. This is why any projections of growth in tourism may serve as an indication of the relative influence that each country will exercise in the future.Space tourism is expected to "take off" in the first quarter of the 21st century, although compared with traditional destinations the number of tourists in orbit will remain low until technologies such as a space elevator make space travel cheap.[citation needed]Technological improvement is likely to make possible air-ship hotels, based either on solar-powered airplanes or large dirigibles.[citation needed] Underwater hotels, such as Hydropolis, expected to open in Dubai in 2009, will be built. On the ocean, tourists will be welcomed by ever larger cruise ships and perhaps floating cities.[citation needed][edit] Latest trendsAs a result of the economic crisis of 2008, international arrivals suffered a strong slowdown beginning in June 2008. Growth from 2007 to 2008 was only 3.7% during the first eight months of 2008. The Asian and Pacific markets were affected and Europe stagnated during the boreal summer months, while the Americas performed better, reducing their expansion rate but keeping a 6% growth from January to August 2008. Only the Middle East continued its rapid growth during the same period, reaching a 17% growth as compared to the same period in 2007.[5] This slowdown on international tourism demand was also reflected in the air transport industry, with a negative growth in September 2008 and a 3.3% growth in passenger traffic through September. The hotel industry also reports a slowdown, as room occupancy continues to decline.[5] As the global economic situation deteriorated dramatically during September and October as a result of the global financial crisis, growth of international tourism is expected to slow even further for the remaining of 2008, and this slowdown in demand growth is forecasted to continue into 2009 as recession has already hit most of the top spender countries, with long-haul travel expected to be the most affected by the economic crisis.[5]. However, some travel destinations have experienced growth during hard economic times, drawing on low costs of living, accessibility, and friendly immigration laws permitting tourists to stay for extended periods of time. Recession tourism, a phrase coined by Matt Landau in his research about Panama, has evolved as an alternative escape option for nervous crisis-goers in 2009.[citation needed]According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, direct tourism employment comprises all jobs where the workers are engaged in the production of direct tourism output (such as hotel staff, airline pilots, and souvenir sellers). In the third quarter of 2008, tourism-related employment of 8.6 million jobs in the US consisted of 5.9 million (69%) direct tourism jobs—jobs where workers produce goods and services sold directly to visitors—and 2.7 million (31%) indirect tourism-related jobs. Indirect tourism refers to jobs where workers produce goods and services used to produce what visitors buy. As the US economy struggled, in the fourth quarter of 2008, passenger air transportation continued to contract—falling 13.0% in 2008, after decreasing 20.0% in the third quarter. Spending on domestic flights declined for the fifth consecutive quarter but real spending on international flights rose a modest 1.0% after a sharp decline of 35.4%in the previous quarter. [26]In the USA in 2008, revenue in the tourism industry fell by 3.5% to $1.31 trillion dollars. While still a large amount, tourism revenue fell as unemployment in the country and around the world rose and the international economic recession led to the cancellation of planned trips, including trips to US.
