Wenham, MA—On Friday, September 16, 2011, Dr. D. Michael Lindsay, 39, one of the nation's foremost experts on faith, culture and leadership, will be inaugurated as the eighth president in Gordon College's 122-year history, becoming one of the youngest presidents in the country among nationally ranked colleges and universities.
A sociologist formerly of Rice University and an author of numerous works and studies on leadership, Dr. Lindsay brings first-hand experience with college students and pioneering vision in educational institutions to one of the nation's top Christian liberal arts colleges.
"With Michael's love of teaching and mentoring students as well as his exciting research and scholarship on leadership, he knows how to connect students' openness to innovation," said President Nathan O. Hatch of Wake Forest University, who will speak at Dr. Lindsay's inauguration. "Gordon College has always been on the leading edge of Christian higher education, and with someone like Michael at the helm, I have no doubt its programs will only deepen the unique contributions its next generation of leaders will make."
Over 2,500 students, faculty, alumni and community friends will gather for the daylong inauguration celebration, along with scholars, artists, business executives and Christian leaders from across the country. Beginning at 9 a.m. with three concurrent panel discussions, a cross section of prominent experts in their fields will explore the intersection of faith and art, business and the academy. Dr. John Ortberg, senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California, will offer a formal address during the morning worship service at 10:20 a.m., and President Hatch will speak at the installation, which begins at 2 p.m. on the Gordon College quad.
Before his appointment in March, Dr. Lindsay directed the Program for the Study of Leadership at Rice University, where he was also a Rice Scholar at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy and a popular faculty member. His current work, known as the PLATINUM Study, is the largest ever interview-based study on American leadership. He is a sought-after speaker and commentator for the media, and the author of dozens of publications as well as the award-winning book Faith in the Halls of Power, which Oxford University Press nominated for the nonfiction Pulitzer Prize.
Throughout his inaugural year at Gordon and because of his scholarship and vast interviewing experience, Dr. Lindsay will host a series of "Conversations with the President" that will coincide with the release of various data from the PLATINUM Study. He will also be the keynote speaker at a Biennial Conference on Christians in Political Science, May 31-June 3 at Gordon.
"Since 1889, we have had the privilege of inspiring and educating young people at Gordon to do great things throughout the world," Dr. Lindsay said. "My family and I feel enormously honored to be a part of such a noble mission, one that not only esteems intellectual rigor and academic inquiry, but places service for the common good and Christian faith at its core. I know from my own experience what can happen when young men and women begin to understand their calling and profession in the light of these values: they change. And consequently, the world changes."

Panels and panelists for inauguration morning (9 a.m.) include:
Faith and the Academy:
Marla Frederick, professor of African and African American Studies and professor for the Study of Religion at Harvard University; Nancy Nason-Clark, chair and professor of sociology at the University of New Brunswick in Canada; and George McLendon, Howard R. Hughes Provost and Professor of Chemistry at Rice University.
Faith and the Arts:
National Council on the Arts appointee, Makoto Fujimura, visual artist whose work is exhibited at The Contemporary Museum of Tokyo and around the world; contemporary singer/songwriter Sara Groves, who will also perform a free inaugural concert on Friday evening; and writer/director Todd Komarnicki, whose Hollywood credits include the Christmas blockbuster Elf.
Faith and the Marketplace:
Katherine Leary Alsdorf, executive director of the Center for Faith and Work at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City; Richard Malloch '75, senior vice president of Hearst Corporation and president of Hearst Business Media; and Dr. Neil Clark Warren, cofounder and chairman of eHarmony.

"Thanks to the integrated Remote Management Controller of the ServerView Suite we are now able to directly access all servers of our branch offices from our headquarters."
Harald Reich Data Center, DEKRA
"On the safe side." This DEKRA slogan reflects the unfailing service promise that DEKRA applies vis-à-vis its customers. Successfully passed expert inspections of motor vehicles, industrial facilities or lifts give reassurance - and the green DEKRA seal is visible proof. DEKRA is one of the world's leading expert organizations and currently maintains a presence in more than 50 countries. Approximately 25,000 employees worldwide are committed to ensuring long-term safety, quality and environmental protection. The service portfolio is pooled together in three business units, namely DEKRA Automotive, DEKRA Industrial and DEKRA Personnel. While the Automotive section (excluding the area of periodic vehicle inspections) provides, among others, expert opinions and claims services, the comprehensive consultancy and inspection offering of the Industrial section focuses on plant safety, environmental protection, health and safety at work as well as building quality and safety. DEKRA Personnel offers concepts for vocational training and temporary employment. Founded in 1925, DEKRA (Deutscher Kraftfahrzeug-Überwachungs-Verein) stands for 'German Motor Vehicle Inspection Association'. The headquarters of today's DEKRA SE is located in Stuttgart, Germany.
An organization that carries out inspections on a world-wide scale inevitably produces a huge amount of valuable data. That is why DEKRA has decided to renew its server landscape throughout its German locations. The organization ordered 480 PRIMERGY tower servers for its agencies that run the DEKRA testing software as well as 30 PRIMERGY RX300 S5/S6 2-socket rack servers for its Stuttgart-based data center. "The Fujitsuserver systems ensure stable operation," says Harald Reich who works at the DEKRA data center in Stuttgart. "In addition, Fujitsu is truly committed to impeccable service." However, regarding the requirements for a new server landscape that is only half the rent. "We also opted for Fujitsu because we wanted to be able to centrally manage our geographically dispersed servers from the same solution." And this is made possible by Fujitsu ServerView Suite which can be expanded to meet the specific needs of the user through the numerous add-on modules.

Things That Should Be Nerfed
Right now, SA returns mana even if you are healed at full health. So SA and Vampiric Embrace have gone nuts. I think Blizzard will reign in SA by only applying it to actual healing.
It's actually interesting, because Heal-Over-Time heals don't tick if the target is at full health. So for a paladin, getting a HoT is worse than getting a direct heal, because you'll lose out on some mana.
All in all, SA working with overheals leads to odd behaviour, and I think that SA will get nerfed.
2. Flasks
I think that very powerful temporary buffs are a bad game design concept. The problem is that a raid which is willing to pay the costs for these buffs is significantly more powerful than a raid which isn't willing. And this leads to a dilemma when tuning content.
Should you tune content for the buffed raid, knowing that you are forcing every raid which wants to suceed to pay for the buffs every time they try this content? Or should you tune content for the unbuffed raid, knowing that the buffed raids are going to blow through the content?
It's far easier to just avoid the question and not have powerful temporary buffs. You can tune for permanent buffs, such as gear, because acquiring such buffs/items is a one-time, gradual, process.
In WoW, the major items that exhibit this problematic behaviour are high end alchemy flasks and elixirs. I think that the game would be better off without flasks. Then Blizzard could tune content to a more permanent gear level, and this would make life a lot easier for raid guilds.
Now it would be harsh on alchemists, as their uber-items would no longer exist. I would suggest that they get something more permanent, perhaps very powerful transmutations.
Edit: Here's a random idea. What if alchemists could transmute magical items? You could take a BoP blue and transmute it into a couple BoE greens. Or maybe a lower-level BoE blue. Heh, this idea probably isn't very good, but it's something that isn't in the game yet.
3. Warlocks
Just because.

I really don't see a need for SA to be nerfed when we already have one gimped tree and another that is totally useless in PvP, PvE, and Arenas. There are other things that need to be done before giving Blizzard the idea that we are too powerful.ReplyDelete
SA working with overheals does mean that healers need to adapt their healing style significantly when grouping with a pally tank. Essentially, there is no such thing as overhealing with a pally tank - you're not overhealing, you're mana battery...ing. :)ReplyDelete
I kinda like it - it provides some real diversity in my healing game. I'd be sad to see it go. I'd also wonder how much more difficult pally tanking would be without it. There have been a few pulls where my pumping out the overheals was the only thing that kept our tank throwing his consecrates.
Then again, I've only been running the 5-mans. I can see how this might be overpowered in a raid situation.
Why on earth would you want to nerf locks? No No, Nerf rogues!ReplyDelete
anaea, the problem is not SA on the Tanks. If necessary, you could even increase the amount of mana from SA to 15% and still be okay.ReplyDelete
The problem is SA on the healing paladins, who aren't taking any damage. Since SA still works on overhealing, they have massive amounts of mana regen from Vampiric Embrace.
How would Valarin feel about your final comment?ReplyDelete
Just kidding.....you, like me, must like getting free horses.
3. Beastmastery HuntersReplyDelete
(Hello, just wandered onto your blog. Awesome posts, especially the "So You Want to Be a Raider?" series.)
Ha! I didn't even think about the pally healers - priest blind spot for ya. ;)ReplyDelete
That's an excellent point, and now that I think about it I'm sure that's what so much of the priest "pallies and efficiency" QQing is about. Perhaps it's more suitable as a Protection tree talent then, than as a base ability.
- Anonymous9:31 AM, April 09, 2007
Paladins out heal priests.ReplyDelete
Cloak of shadows owns priests.
Nerf rogues.
No reason to play a priest.
SA needs to be a base talent. It is simply too fundamental to paladin tanking. Making SA a Protection talent would be like making Druid Bear form a Feral talent.ReplyDelete
Holy and Ret need to be able to tank in a pinch. That's what being a hybrid is all about.
There's already mutterings that Holy Shield should be a base talent, and I can kind of see the argument there. It's our version of Shield Block. Can you imagine the warrior outcry if Shield Block was the 31-point talent in Warrior Protection?
Well, it looks like your idea of nerfing flasks is happening. Blizzard announced that soon, they are changing Alchemy so that you can only have one offensive and one defensive elixir-based buff at once, and flasks take up both. This means that herbs and potions will likely be a lot less valuable than they used to be (the days of needing to buy a million elixirs for everybody in the raid are over)ReplyDelete
BUT in return, they say that they will now be able to add a lot more recipes to Alchemy. They were having trouble adding more things to Alchemy before without having to balance the raids for having them. But if you have to pick and choose which elixir you're using, they can add a lot more variety. Besides which, they can make the instance encounters easier for the casual player since you don't need so many consumables just to have a chance.
My main is an alchemist, and I'm actually really excited to see where this goes.

NBA Jam by EA Sports has made its way into the App Store and onto iPhone and iPod touch! If you are wondering whether this the same game that you -- and everyone else -- loved to play on SNES, the answer is yes! EA Sports has brought back the action-packed in-your-face NBA thriller!
The game is just as fun as it way years ago and includes all of the current NBA teams, and they are filled with some current stars as well as stars from yesteryears. You have to beat challenges to unlock certain older players but it is fun enough to make it worth your while. Also available are in-app purchases that will allow you to gain access to even more items in the game. So far after a short time with the game it seems as if it is spot on with the SNES version and the controls are easy to use and the action is non-stop. So what are you waiting for? Check out the video and screenshots after the break, then go get your dunk on and then come tell us your thoughts on the iPhone version in the comments below!

I won't find a better time than now to sit down and work on my training program for 2009. For people focusing on the summer crits and track, it could be a little late but for me, aiming for the road season, it is the perfect time. I am still nursing the injured shoulder, and not sure when I will be able to get on the bike so I have moved the beginning of my Base for the end of February.
As mentioned too many times on this blog, I can and have been on the trainer a lot since October last year. Like many, I have slowed down considerably during the festive season and now find myself struggling a bit to get back on the trainer. With that comes the extra weight, which brings those nightmares of never being able to loose the extra kilos and get back to my race weight.
Funny how we can be so negative about things. Now, choosing to look at things in a more positive way, I am having a good rest and I still have plenty of time to finish with the last details of the program. And the extra kilos? Lets call them "reserves" for when the hard training begins.
The first thing I have done is choose the type of program, which can be an overwhelming task on its own. Based on my experience and having a good look at what has worked for me and my past results, I decided to use a program based on Heart Rate indicators. It has a long Base (4x4), Build (4x4) and Race (4x4) format which will take me to my main events (events A) at the end of the year.
For some one, thinking about doing the same, I wrote this basic list of points to consider before choosing the program and getting the pen on paper for the long, long process.
- Experience - there are programs for beginners, experienced, juniors, masters, etc. Choose one that matches your own experience;
- Level - what level (grade) are you going to race, there is a big difference in between "C" and "B" and "A" grades on Open events, even at masters level;
- Type of racing - we can race all types of events but we must be prepared for the events we enjoy the most. Crit racing will not prepare a rider for the ITT State championship;
- Lifestyle - training and racing isn't just about getting on the bike and riding. A lot of time is needed for recovery (we need more sleep), massages, gym work, stretching sessions, bike maintenance, travelling to events. It becomes THE lifestyle and family and friends need to be supportive;
- Finance - be ready, it is not cheap!!!
- Health - Basically, with all the strenuous physical work, the body gets a little tired and chances of getting sick can increase. We don't just need to sleep more, we need to eat more and healthier.
Ok, the list could be more complex, in fact as complex as one wants. A couple of good books will come really handy for the whole process and there is a lot of stuff on the Net... or a coach, they can be good. Ah, and a big desk.
Programs based on Heart Rate monitoring are a bit old and not the in thing but they are still largely in use. The truth is I am still waiting for my SRM power meter sponsorship to get approved, so the Polar will do for now.
The program I chose allows me to race all year around. To me, that is an important feature as I enjoy racing and believe that the more I race the more I learn about myself and about tactics. And, as it is all supposed to be fun, I can have fun all year around.
Having experimented with a couple of training methods, I am confident that it (with a couple of modifications) will work for me. I have a good idea of what has worked in the past and what my limiters are, important considerations when putting training programs together.
If I don't win the World Championship... there is always another season!

Mossberg's Mailbox
How to Wipe a Hard Drive Clean
There's no other major item most of us own that is as confusing, unpredictable and unreliable as our personal computers. Everybody has questions about them, and we aim to help.
Here are a few questions about computers I've received recently from people like you, and my answers. I have edited and restated the questions a bit, for readability. This week my mailbox contained questions about "file wiper" programs that permanently erase a hard drive, staying safe at public wireless hot spots and sorting USB cables.
If you have a question, send it to me at firstname.lastname@example.com, and I may select it to be answered here in Mossberg's Mailbox.
The community where I live has a one-month period (April this year) where you can dispose of your old computers. I have several old PCs around the house, but want to clean out the hard drives. Can you recommend a good program that can clean sensitive data off a hard drive?
There are a number of such "file wiper" programs, which permanently delete files so that they can't be recovered. Some are free, but the one I recommend is called Window Washer and costs $30 from Webroot Software Inc. It can be purchased at Webroot.com and elsewhere. The program, which also performs other tasks, has a file-wiping function called "bleaching." It can be used multiple times.
Does the security I've installed for my home wireless network protect me when I take my laptop to a public hot spot? If no, what can I do to protect against snoopers there? I run both Windows and Apple laptops.
No. The wireless security in your home is a network feature, not a laptop feature. It doesn't come along with your computers when you use another wireless network. At a public hot spot, you are sharing a network with strangers. So you can't entirely guarantee your security and privacy from prying or malicious people in the vicinity. However, I would turn off all file-sharing features on the laptop, make sure a firewall is running, and avoid doing anything sensitive online, such as financial transactions.
If one has a box of unlabeled USB cables, is there any way to sort USB 1.1 cables from the USB 2.0 cables? Or is there even a difference?
You can't sort them, and in most cases there is no difference. Older USB cables that were certified to work on the older 1.1 ports should also work perfectly with the faster USB 2.0 ports. The USB 2.0 standard was designed to work with the same cables as USB 1.1. In fact, I have never seen or used a USB cable, no matter how old, that couldn't be used at full speed with USB 2.0. However, some cheaply made older cables that weren't certified might fail.

Elevation Burger, a 100 percent organic beef burger chain, recently signed two new franchising deals in the cities of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, and Houston. With 39 stores in operation, the company is expanding worldwide with the help of franchise development partner Fransmart, who has developed territories across the U.S. and the Middle East.
Wyomissing franchisees Gary and Sue Binasiewicz were introduced to the concept by a friend and loved the green, environmentally friendly theme of the restaurants. "We were convinced of the concept after we went to visit the closest location in Collegeville, Pennsylvania," the couple says. "We try to watch what we eat, but everybody loves a good burger and fries."
The Binasiewicz, who are hoping to secure a shopping center site for their location, are small business owners who both have experience in the restaurant industry serving in various roles. Their other business, a carpet cleaning business based out of Reading, Pennsylvania, is also known for taking innovative steps towards being environmentally responsible.
United Food Concepts, the franchisee that will be developing three units in the Houston area, is a multi-unit operator of varied businesses in the United States and Canada.
Elevation Burger offers a better-for-you burger, which – as the franchisees say – "speaks for itself in terms of the way you feel after finishing a meal there." They recently became the first fast casual food franchise to join the Organic Trade Association and are setting the bar for fast casual restaurants in terms of putting people, planet, and product ahead of profit.

How to Make a Basic Skirt
Added Dec 31, 2010
by Jamie Lau
Brooklyn, New Yo...
This tutorial walks you through how to draft a basic one-dart skirt sloper. This exercise can lead to other designs and variations including an A-line flare, inverted box pleats, and side drapes. For this project, I also added a straight waistband to the skirt, modeled here with my favorite vintage Bernhard Altmann cashmere top and Ferragamo kitten heels. This project was sewn in a Liberty of London floral cotton print and lined with a copper silk charmeuse. Photos were taken in the stacks of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, a Beaux-Arts landmark building.
Material Notes
Pattern paper, Mechanical pencil, Eraser, Transparent ruler, Drafting curve, Awl, Notcher, Tracing paper, Tracing wheel, 1 yard of self fabric (cotton), 1 yard of lining fabric (silk charmeuse), 1/8 yard fusible interfacing, 1 7-inch invisible zipper, 1 sew-on snap, thread. (Please note that yardage will vary depending on your own personal measurements and fabric width.)

Can this be done with a knit?

I have not tried this in a knit, but if you do, I suspect you must eliminate all the ease that you would normally use in a woven.
Jan 17, 2013, 10.14 PMby Meldbombs
Thanks! I think I am gonna use the instructions for a dress sloper on burda but only for the bodice and the pencil skirt for the lower dress. I have no idea about sleeves and I may want to do a cowl neck, all in blue jersey knit. But I am not sure if maybe this is too advanced, I've had my fair share of pattern sewing and that is why I am looking here, so I can get the right fit
Nov 27, 2012, 01.38 PMby Meldbombs
This is a great comprehensive guide to pattern drafting. You may have mentioned and I missed it, but what paper do you use? I noticed you live in Brooklyn, I also do, where can I get this paper or should it be ordered online? Also as a side note, do you know where to get jersey knit outside the Garment District? Thanks, Melissa

Hi Melissa,
I use basic pattern making paper (but you can also use plain white paper as well). There is Sil Thread in the Garment District where you can get paper. In terms of jersey knit, I'm not sure of stores outside of the garment district, but I know there is an affordable fabric store called Fabric Barn Corp in Brooklyn. You can give them a call first before going. Other than that, there are tons of online stores that may have large selections of jersey knit, such as Hart's Fabric: http://www.hartsfabric.com/fashion-apparel-knit-fabrics-jersey-knits.html.

It's very chick and feminine, perfectly suits my style. Working as a company representative for a Navajo Transit system, I need a dress that I will feel comfortable and at the same time feel like myself. I just can't wait to try this on. You are my life saver.
Sep 29, 2011, 09.06 PMby jmspencer1984
This is fantastic!! I finished working up my sloper yesterday and sewed up a quick-and-dirty muslin to test the fit. I have to admit, I was skeptical. My muslin turned out so nice, I'm kicking myself for not using matching thread or a matching zipper. It totally could have been a wearable skirt. WOW. Thank you so much. I have a great new skirt pattern and I learned a lot about my shape and size in the process. I'll be much more confident with altering other patterns for fit now. I'm off to work on my first 'real' skirt from this sloper!

So I'm in the middle of making this skirt. I've inserted the zipper but haven't yet sewn up the back seam. However, I've noticed that my skirt keeps riding up and creasing in the crotch area. I have a small waist and, small hips, but a large derriere. The fabric that I"m using is woven, midweight, but a little stiff. Can u help me with this problem?

How would you make this a skinny skirt?
1 Reply
May 19, 2011, 05.40 PMby Jamie Lau
This skirt is pretty slim-fitting already. To make it a pencil skirt, you can move in towards center front and center back up to 2 1/2 inches from the base by the side seam. Then, blend up from this new point to below the low hip line, creating a new side seam. Just make sure it doesn't come to a point there.
Jan 29, 2011, 07.58 AMby marionalloreta
Hi Jamie! I have fallen in love with this skirt! I have started working on it today,and I am so excited!Can you please help me understand what the term "square off" or "square down" means? I am a bit confused and I know its used throughtout your instructions. Thank you so much!!! "
2 Replies
Feb 2, 2011, 05.37 PMby Jamie Lau
Hi! "Square off" means to draw a straight line for X amount of inches so that things don't come to a point when drafted/sewn up. For instance in Step 6:
"Drop down 1/2 inch from A along center front and mark N. Square off 3/4 inch at center front in a right angle starting at N, then use a drafting curve to shape your front waist, ending at K."
This means that from the new point N, you will draw a line perpendicular to center front for 3/4 inch. Then, you can use your curve to finish off the waist. The squaring off is that 3/4 inch so that things don't come to a point and will be smoother since that is your center front.
Can't wait to see your finished project. Let me know if you need more clarification!

I haven't started this tutorial yet – but all the responses seem very positive! Thanks so much for putting this up. I recently got burnt big time with a dodgy pencil skirt pattern (I know, I know, I should have made a muslin up first!) so I definitely think this is the way to go. I must admit – the idea of drafting my own pattern scares me to death – but this seems "do-able"! So again, thanks! x
PS – As a person who is self taught, and has had very few people around her that have an interest in sewing I have often wondered re the term "sloper"…. is it pronounced as in "slope" like a hill or "slop" like a mess? (Maybe if I had made one up of the last skirt it wouldn't have turned into such a "slop"!!) I am displaying both my ignorance and isolation in asking this question!!!

I can totally sympathize with you. Sometimes I get so eager and excited to finish a project that I go for the gusto and try to rush and make it in fashion fabric and bypass muslin. However, what I've learned from sewing is that patience pays off and that being a little OCD doesn't hurt (and will save you money in the long run).
In terms of sloper, it's not pronounced like a Sloppy Joe, but like a slope (e.g, as it is applied in economics or when going skiing). Let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you give this project a shot!

I looked up Liberty of London and found this pattern in the Tana Lawn collection. Is the the Tana lawn a cotton lawn? I wouldn't normally think of making a fitted skirt out of a lawn fabric as it is so light and filmy – I wouldn't expect it to wear well or long. Is L of L's Tana Lawn a sturdier weave than a standard cotton lawn?

Hi! This fabric is pretty sturdy with a fairly tight weave and high thread count. But I highly recommend lining the skirt in silk or rayon and interfacing the waistband.

Liberty of London fabrics rock…and they're so soft it's hard to believe they're made of fine cotton. I've listed 'em in my fabric iPhone app, they're so terrific. Better to use 'em in something you can wear and be seen in vs. something you hang on a wall or put on a bed (a quilt).

Let me confess that we two must be twain,
Although our undivided loves are one:
So shall those blots that do with me remain,
Without thy help, by me be borne alone.
In our two loves there is but one respect,
Though in our lives a separable spite,
Which though it alter not love's sole effect,
Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight.
I may not evermore acknowledge thee,
Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame,
Nor thou with public kindness honour me,
Unless thou take that honour from thy name:
But do not so, I love thee in such sort,
As thou being mine, mine is thy good report.
Sonnet 36: Translation to modern English
Let me admit that we two have to part even though we are united in love. By parting those disgraces that we've brought on ourselves can be born by me alone, without any help from you. In our love for each other there is a single mind, even though circumstances, which force us apart, can't destroy our love, but rob us of those sweet hours of mutual pleasure. I can't ever openly acknowledge you again because my wretched guilt would bring shame on you. Nor can you honour me with public notice without dishonouring yourself. So don't do that: my love for you is such that I value your reputation as though it were my own.
Please take a moment to review this content!
John Gardener says:
No Love Can Be Separated by Spite
Can love survive endless separation? Shakespeare's "Sonnet 36" describes in brief the brutality of separation and the pain of shame and guilt. This poem focuses on two people who want to be together but cannot because of the poet's reputation, which will somehow end their companionship. The poet's guilt and shame over his reputation has caused this separation, but yet he continues to acknowledge his endless love for his beloved. The poet stresses how the two must be separated but yet he continues to recognize their love for one another by using metaphor and word choice of togetherness and apartness.
Shakespeare uses the word "twain" in the first line of the sonnet to express a sense of apartness. In The Oxford English Dictionary Online the word twain is described as "separated, or apart". The poet is using the word twain to express a sense of separation between the two. Although he is using the word twain in the first line to express separation, he continues by saying "Although our undivided loves are one" (2). Now in a sense of togetherness, Shakespeare is expressing their "undivided loves". This use of metaphors suggests that they are married. Although we do not know at this point if his spouse is a male or female, we come to the conclusion that the poet is married. Shakespeare's use of togetherness and apartness in the first two lines demonstrates that he wants to be with this person, but yet can't for some undefined reason

|Bayer Contraception workshop
Facilitated by Dr Orna McGinn
Orna is a UK trained GP with qualifications in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Obstetrics and Gynaecology. She works part time as a GP in East Auckland and also teaches on the Diploma of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Auckland.
New Zealand currently has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in the OECD, having overtaken the USA in recent years. Despite this, no formal training exists in this country to equip practitioners with the skills they need to discuss and provide the most effective contraception to their patients, LARC (long acting reversible contraception).
In this workshop we will discuss the current barriers to accessing contraception in New Zealand, and the advantages of LARC . Model arms and pelvises will be provided and each participant will be shown insertion and removal techniques for Jadelle, Mirena and the copper IUD.
Before attending the workshop it is expected that each participant will have completed the Goodfellow Unit learning modules on Jadelle and IUCD as background reading. https://www.goodfellowunit.org

|Understanding the biomechanics and physical demands of one of the toughest rural industries – shearing
Facilitated by Laura Hancock, Rural Works
Sheep farming has been crucial in the development of the New Zealand economy.
Previous studies have focused on the ergonomics and physical demands of shearing and confirm that it is one of the most physically demanding occupations in the world today (Culvenor et al., 1997; Harvey et al., 2002; Stuart et al). The muscular endurance and stamina needed for a full eight or nine hour day shearing in a woolshed is quite astounding, with continuous muscular and neural strain put upon the body in potentially stressful biomechanical positions.
This informative 2.5 hour workshop is one of a kind, with an emphasis on upskilling rural health professionals to better help their patients involved with tough physical rural industries. Attendees are encouraged to explore and experience the movement concepts during the workshop.
Photographic and video footage is used to break down the shearing process into individual blows to discuss the impact upon the body, both to the muscular and the neural system, of the varying positions and movements undertaken by shearers.
Understanding of movement patterns and subsequent strain upon the body helps guide practitioners to be able to educate and advise shearers on how they may manage to maintain and improve the condition of the soft tissues of the body, prevent injuries, maintain mobility and range of motion and improve posture, as well as helping communication and connection with patients who work within the shearing industry.

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
|For Release:
|March 29, 2007
Commissioner Davy Appoints State Monitor for Pleasantville
John J. Deserable, the assistant superintendent for business and the board secretary in the Evesham school district, has been appointed as the state monitor for the Pleasantville schools by Education Commissioner Lucille E. Davy.
Deserable, who has also served as school business administrator in the Barrington and Stratford school districts during his 35-year career, is retiring from Evesham in June and will begin work in Pleasantville on July 1.
The appointment is part of an on-going effort by Governor Jon. S. Corzine and Commissioner Davy to hold school district officials accountable for their decisions regarding the use of public funds and to ensure that state school aid is spent efficiently and effectively.
Under the "School District Accountability Act" approved by the Legislature and signed by Governor Corzine last year, the Commissioner has the authority to appoint a state monitor in districts where serious fiscal deficiencies have been identified. The Commissioner has already appointed monitors in Willingboro, Camden, Paterson and Irvington.
"Pleasantville certainly meets the criteria for a state monitor and is exactly the kind of district that the new law was designed to help," Commissioner Davy said.
"There are very serious weaknesses and lapses in many areas of the district's business operations," she said. "For several years running, there have been significant numerous audit findings and repeat audit findings. The most recent audit indicates the board is not receiving information that would ensure the appropriate oversight of the district's fiscal operations. For instance, the board did not receive any of the required monthly board secretary reports until the end of the 2005-06 school year."
Deserable has signed a two-year contract. His salary will be $600 per day, which is to be paid by the Pleasantville school district.
The Commissioner noted that specific DOE concerns about Pleasantville raised in audit findings include:
Deserable, who currently resides in Blackwood, began his career in education as a teacher and coach in Deptford. He was the school business administrator and board secretary in Barrington in 1986-87 and then served for nine years in the same position in Stratford. He has worked in Evesham since 1996.
The former president of the Camden County Association of School Business Officials, he is a DOE-approved mentor for other business administrators and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Educational and Information Resource Center (ERIC).
Deserable holds a bachelor's degree in industrial technology and education and a master's degree (plus 30 additional graduate credits) in educational administration from Glassboro State College (now Rowan University.)
From 1971 until 1976, he was a police officer and Director of Public Safety in Franklin (Gloucester County). He also served on the Franklin Township Board of Education for eight years and is currently the Treasurer of School Funds in Woodlynne.

Titans preparing to run early, often with revamped offensive line and help for Chris Johnson
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Titans want to get back to what they used to do best, and that's run the football.
Under a mandate from the general manager and head coach, offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains has put together a playbook designed to make the most of a revamped offensive line, Chris Johnson and his new backup, Shon Greene.
That should help ease the growing pains for quarterback Jake Locker in his third season and boost an offense last in the league in time of possession. The Titans haven't ranked in the league's top 10 for running the ball since 2009 when Johnson ran for 2,006 yards.
"We want to be able to run the ball when we want to and when we need to," Loggains said Tuesday.
General manager Ruston Webster revamped the offensive line, making the Titans bigger and hopefully much better with three free agents, including new left guard Andy Levitre. He signed Greene to work with Johnson and drafted guard Chance Warmack at 10 overall in the draft. Loggains, promoted to coordinator with five games left last season, put together his own playbook with the emphasis on running first.
The design is to help the Titans stay on the field longer than the 27 minutes, 18 seconds they managed in 2012 while going 6-10.
Johnson likes what he sees so far and believes it will help him be more effective.
"I can say that because last year ... we basically were trying to turn into like a passing team," Johnson said. "Coming in this year, it's going to be a run-first offense."
Between 2006 and 2009 when head coach Mike Munchak was the team's offensive line coach, the Titans ranked no worse than seventh in rushing offense in the NFL. That includes Johnson's rookie season in 2008 on a team that went 13-3 when he split carries with LenDale White and 2009 when Johnson became the sixth man to run for at least 2,000 yards in a season.
Tennessee slipped to 17th in 2010, 31st in 2011 and managed a rebound to 21st last season despite losing four starting offensive linemen to injuries.
Now running is such a big focus for the Titans that Loggains said it's what they talked about first in the offense's initial meeting this offseason. They just started walking through some of the playbook Monday in the latest phase of the offseason program.
Even with the signing of Greene, Johnson remains the Titans' franchise running back. He ranked fifth in the AFC and ninth in the league in 2012 running for 1,243 yards for the third-best season of his career. Only Adrian Peterson reached 6,000 yards rushing in fewer games (63) than Johnson (70). Eric Dickerson, LaDanian Tomlinson, Emmitt Smith, Earl Campbell and Walter Payton ran for more during their first five seasons than Johnson (6,888).
Johnson also ranks fifth with 8,546 yards from scrimmage in his first five seasons, and that's why Loggains wants to move the running back around a bit more. Johnson has 230 career receptions for 1,658 yards but caught only 36 passes last season.
"We need to get him the ball," Loggains said.
The challenge will come later this season splitting up the carries between Johnson, who wants the ball as much as possible, and Greene, who ran for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns with the Jets in 2012. Loggains describes the 5-foot-11, 226-pound Greene as a "change-of-pace" back and won't put a number on how many carries either Johnson or Greene might wind up with per game.
"We're going to try to use both their strengths as much as possible," Loggains said.
Johnson seems to have his own ideas as a three-time Pro Bowl running back.
"Everybody needs a backup running back," Johnson said. "I'm sure they've seen a lot of good things in (Greene), and hopefully he can come in and help this team."
The Titans averaged 137.4 yards rushing per game in 2008 when they earned home-field advantage for the playoffs after a 10-0 start. Johnson now sees a roster possibly as talented as that group from his rookie year. But Johnson, who said Munchak talked to him about being more of a leader both on and off the field going into his sixth season, isn't making any predictions.
Not even about how many yards rushing he wants this season.
"I feel like things we have done gave us a chance to take the next step," Johnson said. "Like I been saying, we still got a lot of work to do. Everything looks good on paper. We still have to go out and work hard and prove it on Sunday."

Release: Net Migration Flows for Counties and County Equivalents in the United States
The American Community Survey (ACS) and the Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) ask respondents age 1 year and over whether they lived in the same residence 1 year ago. For people who lived in a different residence, the location of their previous residence is collected.
ACS uses a series of monthly samples to produce estimates. The 5-year dataset is used for the county-to-county migration flows since many counties have a population less than 20,000.

Lori Klein Adamek, 67, passed away peacefully with her husband by her side at their home in La Cañada, CA on September 29, 2012.
Born October 21, 1944, in Wilmette, IL to William and Ruth Klein, Lori graduated from New Trier High School (1962), and the University of Michigan for both her undergrad and law degrees (1966 and 1969 respectively).
Growing up, Lori and her family spent summer vacations at Pennellwood resort in Berrien Springs, MI. Her zeal for being involved led to her spending much of those vacations with the staff of the resort, and even being involved in the relentless prank war between her father and the staff.
A long-time resident of La Cañada, Lori led a life full of work in her community. Her work in computer acquisition for La Cañada schools was just one of the causes she championed. Whether it was being the biggest cookie client for a neighborhood girl scout, or knowing her grocery store cashiers by name, her life touched hundreds of her fellow community members. Anyone who knew her was truly a better person for it.
Lori loved to travel with her family. She loved London, Munich, and the U.S. National Parks. Whether it was a road trip to Portland or a cruise down the Ohio River on the Delta Queen, Lori experienced first-hand many of the majesties that life has to offer. Lori was a proud football season ticket holder for the University of Michigan from 1962, and a season ticket holder from the creation of the Los Angeles Galaxy, almost never missing a home game the last 16 years.
She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Charles Adamek, her children and their spouses: Donald (Heidi) Adamek of Belleville, MI, and Elizabeth (Don) Ayres of San Diego, CA, as well as her sister, Barbara Klein of Tucson, AZ and her brother, William Klein of Wilmette, IL.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent in Lori's name to:
The Elbel Club – benefitting the University of Michigan Marching Band
Friends of the La Cañada Library
The Los Angeles Galaxy Foundation
Your local Girl Scouts council.

Grey River
In the country of Canada, Grey River is located on the southwest coast of Newfoundland. It is on the northwest side of Jerts Cove, east of Ramea, about a mile within the inlet. Grey River shores are steep and bold. The population today reaches about 160 residents. The first report in 1857 shows a population of only thirteen citizens. The community offers amazing scenery as a small passageway leads into the settlement from the bay. Between two mountains, a small shelter offers protection from the large amount of winds which often stop the ferry service from running on schedule. These hills reach an elevation of 199-305 meters or 1000 feet and are great for climbing. In the winter, they make a perfect trail for sliding and believe it or not: skiing!
An aerial view of Grey River
Spring: Average air temperature reaches 0 degrees Celsius by April. From April to June, stormy weaher relaxes and it is good to experience dry, fair, and mild daytime conditions aga.
Summer: By early July, summer weather has begun. The pattern of summer temperatures is determined by prevailing wind direction and distance from open salt water. The average air temperature for July is 10 to 15 degrees celsius. Southern coastal areas cool overall as dominant onshore winds are chilled by sea surface temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees celsius, making sea fog regular. However, these onshore winds also moderate nighttime temperatures, extending the frost-free season to almost five months. The annual number of frost-free days is between 130 and 150. Toward the end of August into September, there is a great possibilities for a tropical storm to hit the south of the island, resulting in strong winds and heavy rainfall.
Fall:The first occurrence of air temperature below 0 degrees celsius is normally in mid-October, resulting in a weakened form of "Indian Summer". It is characterized by a period of sunny, warm weather, after the leaves have turned following an onset of frost, but before the first snowfall, The first snowfall of a small amount is in mid to late November. Heavy rainfalls are frequent this time of year as well.
See[edit][add listing]
Grey River is a fascinating place to explore. While there, one can hike the snowmobile trails to the top of the hills that surround the community or hike along the shore that leads to North East Arm. A sense of the community's history can be experienced by visiting the cemeteries.
Grey River is the site of an old tungsten mine and one can easily find pyrite, or fool's gold, amongst the rocks at the mine entrance.
A virtual paradise for the photographer or sportsman, the Grey River Fjord runs past the community and then separates into three river systems. North East Arm is considered to be one of the best salmon fishing rivers in all of eastern Canada. South East Arm offers breathtaking scenery. Its colourful landscape is a palette of lush green forest, rugged mountains and sandy beaches. In some areas, the beaches stretch out for a mile at low tide. North West Arm is also a spectacular site. However, it is best known for the big game animals found there, especially moose and caribou.
"Experiance the fishing adveture of a lifetime" Fly fishing,ancient angling method to catch fish with artificial lures as distinct from live or dead bait, is the main attraction at Grey River. The water is just deep enough, just away from the land enough, and just right for the sport. The most popular of fish caught is Salmon. The most popular time tourists travel tocompete in the Fly fishing sport is in June. Many tournaments and activites are held in this beautiful landscape at this time because of pleasant weather and plenty of fish action.
Buy[edit][add listing]
There are not many shopping locations on site of Grey River.
There is a general store as of July 2013. It has a surprising amount of housewares, canned goods and food items. As always, if you need something that bad, you should probably bring it with you.
Eat[edit][add listing]
cod, moose, carriboo, rabbitt.
Drink[edit][add listing]
A lot of Newfoundlanders habitually drink tea and Carnation milk (some people drink coffee, but don't expect it). It is an excuse to have a friendly chat to invite someone in for a "cuppa tea". In "town" i.e. St. John's (and the other city centers of Newfoundland) there are many good restaurants for the picking, and several vegetarian and vegan friendly spots.
Get Around[edit]
Accessible only by boat or helicopter, Grey River has a deep harbour, which is navigable year-round, and a helipad which provides landing space for helicopters. When entering Grey River by boat, visitors will find a picturesque community surrounded by towering mountains on three sides.

As Expected, Court Tells AFP That Posting An Image On TwitPic Does Not Grant Anyone A License To Use It
from the can't-believe-this-case-went-forward deptOne of the more ridiculous lawsuits of 2010 involved AFP -- the big news organization that once sued Google claiming that merely linking to AFP news articles was copyright infringement. However, when it came to others' copyrighted works, AFP took a rather different position. After the Haitian earthquake a year ago, AFP got into a legal tussle with photographer Daniel Morel, who is based in Haiti.
The details and the series of mistakes that resulted in the lawsuit are long and convoluted, so you can read that link to go through all of the details (on both sides of the case), but the basic summary is that Morel posted his photos to TwitPic and announced them on Twitter. Someone else, a guy named Lisandro Suero, copied those photos and posted them to his own TwitPic account. AFP found the photos that Suero had posted, and got permission from Suero to use them (there's a dispute over whether or not AFP really knew the photos were Morel's when it did this). Morel contacted the AFP, pissed off about all of this, and demanded money. In response, AFP sued Morel pre-emptively, asking the court to issue a summary judgment that it did not infringe. AFP's initial line of reasoning was that Twitter's terms of service grant anyone a license to use any such content. This is (a) ridiculous (b) wrong and (c) totally irrelevant, because the photos were uploaded to TwitPic, not Twitter. Morel's initial response was equally ridiculous. He failed to note the difference between TwitPic and Twitter himself (initially), and attacked AFP for not doing its due diligence to find out who really took the photos. Yet, at the same time, he also argued that Twitter's terms of service shouldn't apply because he hadn't bothered to read them. It seems rather silly to claim in a lawsuit that the other party had a responsibility to go that extra step and research something, while at the same time claiming that your own failure to read something, meant you could ignore it.
We had assumed -- incorrectly! -- that once both sides actually learned of the many mistakes they had made that they would look to end the lawsuit as quickly as possible. However, we were amazed to find out that the AFP still wanted to push forward with its completely unwinnable argument that the terms of service granted anyone a license to use the photos, even though the plain language of the clause in question says exactly the opposite.
Thankfully, the court agreed that the case made no sense at all and AFP's arguments were a non-starter. It rejected AFP's attempt to dismiss Morel's countersuit and denied AFP's (original) request for summary judgment. One interesting part of the ruling, concerned a somewhat obscure part of the DMCA involving "copyright management information." The question was whether or not AFP misused this CMI in not taking the content that Morel had put on his Twitpic page, but not on the image itself. The court ruled that the information on the Twitpic page was sufficient as CMI, and the AFP not including that info represented a violation of section 1202. As Eric Goldman notes in his analysis, courts have varied on whether or not 1202 covers content not included in a work itself, so this is one more ruling to add to the pile on that issue.
All in all, it seems likely that AFP will finally just pay up and settle (ditto for all the downstream news orgs who used the photo via AFP and its partner Getty). Of course, I'm still curious why they all couldn't have claimed a "fair use" exception for "reporting," but perhaps that's another discussion for another day...
