Liberty celebrates after Ashlee Krulock's (center) go-ahead goal against Davidson. (Photo courtesy of Red Rocket Photography)
The Liberty Lady Flames won their program-record eighth consecutive game, defeating the Davidson Wildcats, 3-1, in the semifinals of the 2012 NorPac Tournament. Liberty advances to Saturday's title game, which will be played at 1:30 p.m. against the winner of the Stanford versus California matchup.
Liberty has now won 13 out of its last 14 contests to improve to 16-5 overall. Davidson falls to 9-12 on the season and will play in tomorrow's consolation game at 11:30 a.m. Liberty nearly broke through first in the 10th minute against the Davidson defense. The Lady Flames worked the ball into the center of the circle to Abbey Basom. The freshman ripped the ball toward the goal, but Wildcats' goalie, Sarah Fisher, made a diving stop to keep the game scoreless.
The Lady Flames forced their first penalty corner of the contest in the 23rd minute of play. Hannah Jones inserted the ball to the stopper Elly Chipman, who pushed it to Natalie Barr. The Lady Flames leading scorer wound up and fired a shot on goal. The shot was deflected into the chest of a Davidson defender, which resulted in a penalty stroke for Liberty. Basom took the stroke and laced it past a lunging Fisher into the left side of the cage for her eighth goal of the season and a 1-0 Liberty lead.
Davidson tied the game at one less than three minutes later. Finley Amato's initial shot off of a penalty corner attempt for the Wildcats was blocked. Annie Davis collected the rebound and rolled a pass in front of the goal to Lucy Pidock, who knocked it into the back of the cage.
The score remained tied 1-1 heading into the halftime break. During the first half, Davidson held the slight edge over Liberty in shots, 5-4, and penalty corners, 4-2.
Liberty regained the lead 4:06 into the second half. Barr dribbled down the center of the field and into the top of the Davidson circle. Barr passed the ball left to Ashlee Krulock and the freshman lifted it over Fisher's pads into the back of the cage. Krulock's second goal of the season gave the Lady Flames a 2-1 advantage.
Davidson was turned away by the Liberty defense on its best scoring opportunity of the second half with 16:23 remaining in the contest. The Wildcats forced their first penalty corner of the second half and fifth of the game. Amato received the pass off of the insert from Annie Evans. Davidson's all-time leading scorer lined a shot toward the cage, but Liberty goalie Mallory Cuccio dove to her right and knocked the ball wide of the goal to keep the Lady Flames' lead intact.
Liberty extended its advantage in the 63rd minute. Jones once again inserted a penalty corner pass into the circle for the Lady Flames. The ball ended up on Helen Doolittle's stick and the sophomore fired a shot on goal. Fisher made the save, but her attempt to clear the ball ended up going to Liberty's Barr. The East Division Offensive Player of the Year gathered the ball and ripped it into the top of the cage for her team leading 16th goal of the year.
The Lady Flames' 3-1 lead held up as regulation time expired.
Liberty controlled the second half, outshooting Davidson, 13-4. For the game, the Lady Flames finished with 18 shots to the Wildcats' eight, while Davidson held the advantage in penalty corners, 6-4.
Liberty's defense led by Megan Johnson, Chipman, Jones, Doolittle and Krulock assisted in Cuccio's 11th win of the year in the cage. Thanks to the Lady Flames' defense behind her, Cuccio only faced two shots, collecting one save. Fisher tallied five saves in goal for Davidson.
The Lady Flames enter Saturday's title game as only the second team ever from the East Division to make it to the NorPac Championship tilt. The first time came in 2003 when Radford advanced to the final game.

(SVOTS) - St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary (SVOTS) is very pleased to announce a new, accredited Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) program. Priests, chaplains and professionals in ministry from across the US, Canada, and from throughout the English speaking world, now have an opportunity to earn a Doctor of Ministry from an Orthodox Christian seminary in this new hybrid program, which uses distance learning and one–week, on–campus intensives.
"Pastors today face immense challenges," emphasized The Rev. Dr. J. Sergius Halvorsen (SVOTS Class of '96), assistant professor of Homiletics and Rhetoric, and the program's director. "The depth and intensity of suffering and spiritual darkness in the lives of the people we serve is startling. Facing such serious challenges, there has never been a greater need for excellence in pastoral ministry."
In November 2012, St. Vladimir's will begin accepting applications for the first cohort of fifteen students who will begin their studies in the fall of 2013. The cohort will go through the program as a community of learners who support one another academically, spiritually, and personally. The cohort will serve as an essential support network for the students during the course of the program and will model a form of collegial ministry in which pastors lift up and inspire one another in the ongoing work of building up the Body of Christ.
The D.Min. will strengthen pastoral ministry by integrating doctoral level academic work with applied pastoral praxis. Members of the SVOTS faculty, along with Orthodox scholars from other institutions, will teach the eight core courses:
Each academic term, students will do preparatory work via distance learning, and then will come together on the SVOTS campus for one–week intensives to work with their colleagues and professors. Throughout the program students will integrate their academic work with their pastoral ministry, thus gaining valuable feedback from the faculty, their peers, and the people they serve. The final phase of the program will be a project which combines research at the doctoral level, with the intentional application of pastoral theory in pastoral ministry.
- Ministry in a Secular Age
- Ministry to the Sick and Dying
- Advanced Preaching and Communications
- Counseling in the Parish
- Missiology
- Scripture: Exegesis for Preaching
- Youth Ministry
- Bioethics for Ministry
Students will gain deeper knowledge about the practice of serving others in Christian love as they grow in spiritual maturity as ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The program intentionally combines Orthodox Christian scholarship with advanced communication skills in order to make pastors more effective in sharing the love of Christ with others. From pastoral counseling to preaching, and from scholarship to social media, students in the D.Min. program will strengthen and refine their God–given talents and abilities.
"My hope is that the D.Min. program at St. Vladimir's will provide priests, chaplains, and other pastoral professionals with advanced knowledge and skills in order to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering," noted Fr. Sergius. "It is also my hope that the program would foster deep and lasting friendships among the students and contribute to authentic spiritual and pastoral renewal."
Anyone interested in learning more about the program may contact Fr. Sergius Halvorsen, at email@example.com, or (914) 961-8313, x367.

Has anyone read this classic Confucian book? If so what did people think? Can you recommend a good, academic translation (perhaps with a commentary)? What do you think are the most important aspects of it to take away?
I'm about to start reading it!
Lady Wu wrote:Check out Appendix 1. It's awesome. It's got the bios of the main disciples and all the names they went by, and could provide more context for some of the conversations in the passages. When I first read the text way back before we had internet, I had to compile my own list of names/style names. Some I didn't figure out were the same person until last night, lol.
I used to get indignant at how the disciple Zai Wo was depicted... like, everything he said something Confucius shut him down, and there's that weird passage about how he took a nap one day and Confucius basically called him a piece of rotten log. But Professor Eno makes a good point--it could be the compilers of the text, aka Zai Wo's fellow disciples, who had a problem with him, and not Confucius. Either way, kinda sucks to go down in one of the most taught textbooks in history as a lazy and difficult person.

Farmers Branch, Texas Anti-Immigrant Ordinance Is Blocked While Challenge Continues
DALLAS - City officials in Farmers Branch, Texas today agreed not to fight a request from residents' to block the city's latest anti-immigrant ordinance from taking effect while a legal challenge continues. The American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Texas and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) filed a request in federal court on the residents' behalf for a preliminary injunction blocking the ordinance. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas is expected to enter the injunction today.
The challenged ordinance, Ordinance 2952, is the city's third attempt at restricting residency based on immigration status. It would require all adults in the city who live in rental housing to register with the city and provide citizenship and immigration information in order to obtain a so-called "residential occupancy license." Under the ordinance, landlords would have to evict all residents who the city deems "not lawfully present in the United States," including people living with U.S. citizen children, spouses and parents. The civil rights groups charge that the ordinance violates the U.S. Constitution, federal and state statutes and is discriminatory.
At an earlier hearing on Friday, September 12, U.S. District Court Judge Jane J. Boyle temporarily blocked the ordinance.
"The city saw which way the wind was blowing. It's highly unlikely that the court will uphold this discriminatory law and the city decided to give up this part of their losing battle," said Nina Perales, Southwest Regional Counsel for MALDEF. "We are confident that the order blocking the ordinance will be made permanent should this case proceed to trial. Immigration reform is a federal responsibility and local anti-immigrant ordinances only hurt city economies and community relations."

The city's anti-immigrant ordinances have been defeated over and over again in the courts. The city withdrew its first ordinance in the face of multiple lawsuits by business and civil rights groups. The second ordinance was temporarily, preliminarily and then permanently blocked by U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay of the Northern District of Texas. When it became clear that the second ordinance was doomed, the city passed Ordinance 2952, which Judge Lindsay observed was "yet another attempt to circumvent the court's prior rulings and further an agenda that runs afoul of the United States Constitution." Judge Boyle's September 12 ruling was the fourth federal court order to block the city's anti-immigrant ordinances, and today's preliminary injunction is the fifth.
"The politicians who support this ordinance and their advisors from national anti-immigrant organizations seem to regard this as some sort of game, even though the laws they have invented are terribly serious and have real consequences for the city and its residents. But it's time for them to realize that they've long since struck out," said Omar Jadwat, staff attorney at the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project.
"Every court in the country that has reviewed these local anti-immigrant housing ordinances has put a stop to them," said Lisa Graybill, Legal Director of the ACLU of Texas. "Farmers Branch has taken the curious approach of recreating their ordinance to be even more intrusive and offensive, to the point of subjecting everyone to an intrusive, Big Brother-like licensing regime. The city has lost sight not only of the law, but of common sense, in this case."
Attorneys who are working on the case include Jadwat, Lucas Guttentag, Jennifer Chang Newell and Farrin Anello of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project; Graybill of the ACLU of Texas; Perales and Marisol L. Perez of MALDEF; and David Broiles.

Quite apart from all the sporting action which will take place during the 2012 London Olympics, there is quite a bit of cool tech being introduced too. Already confirmed is Europe's largest free Wi-Fi network, including coverage in the London Underground system, plus various big events plus the opening and closing ceremony will be broadcast on TV in 3D.
Now, Samsung and Visa has revealed more information on a new wireless payment system, all set to be up-and-running for when the athletes, spectators and the world's press descend on London later this year.
Both Samsung and Visa are big sponsors of the Games, and the pair has installed more than 3000 wireless payment terminals spread across the many Olympic venues. The payWave system enables people to pay for goods and services using NFC contact-less technology.
Although hardly new technology, NFC has been making headlines ever since Google introduced Google Wallet and the Galaxy Nexus last year, however in countries such as Japan, NFC payments have been commonplace for years. With Google Wallet currently restricted to the USA, there were rumors that Google would use the Olympics as a reason to expand the service to the UK, however as yet no announcement has been made.
Back to Samsung and Visa, whose press release talks about the introduction of the mobile payWave app, which will allow instant purchases of up to £15, and anything over this amount requiring a passcode to be entered. Other features include a balance check and a transaction history.
Compatible hardware
As we all know by now, NFC usually needs both software and hardware support to operate, and sure enough a series of phones have received an official stamp of approval from Visa. According to The Next Web, these include the Samsung Galaxy S II, the LG Optimus Net NFC and a selection of BlackBerrys such as the Bold 9900, the Bold 9790 and the Curve 9360/9380.
As several of these phones don't have NFC built-in, Visa could adopt a system whereby a microSD card with an NFC chip will be circulated to those wanting to take advantage of the wireless payment system. Having tested the method before and met with success, this neatly lets Visa avoid having to partner-up with a network or restrict users to phones with an NFC chip.
Of course, as handy as a microSD card with NFC would be, it won't help iPhone users very much.
But what about those who won't be bringing a phone with them? Samsung has announced it'll be launching a special edition phone for the London 2012 Olympics, and it'll feature a built-in NFC chip. It'll be given to all attending athletes, plus it will be made available to buy around the world.
The payWave app will be demonstrated at Mobile World Congress, and there's a good chance we'll get our first look at Samsung's 2012 Olympic phone at the show too. The 2012 London Olympic Games starts on 27 July.

Doug Bruce: Defiant to the End
He was rude, defiant and had no regard for the rule of law.
Doug Bruce, father of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, was sentenced for tax evasion Monday in a spectacle befitting his controversial history in Colorado.
Bruce said they could take his body, but they couldn't have his soul. He called himself a political prisoner. He was arrogant and self-righteous throughout.
This is the Doug Bruce we have come to know over the years as he has cut a swath through Colorado tax policies and politics.
Bruce is to spend 180 days in jail, followed by six years of strict probation. What are the odds that he'll comply with the terms of probation? We have our doubts.
Bruce has displayed not an ounce of contrition and believes he has done nothing wrong.
He was convicted for filing a false tax return, evading state taxes and failing to file tax returns for five years.
It would seem this won't be the last we hear of the matter. The Internal Revenue Service wasted no time in requesting files containing evidence gathered against Bruce.
Stay tuned.

Overview of Hostel
Built in 2008, the Jade Emu International Guest House is run by Dave (from Australia) and his partner Song (from China). It caters for the 'budget conscious' traveller looking for rooms and facilities of a more international class. Double, twin/triple share and dorm rooms available - all are modern,
See picture 7 of our photo gallery for a detailed map!
Chinese Directions for the taxi driver...
?????????? (214?? ?????????77?????
From Xiaguan Bus Station:
Expect to pay 60 RMB for a taxi to the Jade Emu International Guest House. The taxi driver will not normally use a meter to get to Dali Old Town. This is the standard rate for locals as well.
Alternatively, for those on a tight budget... Catch a taxi to the XiaGuan train station (6 RMB) and follow the instructions below for getting here from XiaGuan train station
From Xiaguan Train Station:
Catch the blue bus outside the train station called 'Xiaguan Train Station to ChongSheng Temple'. It has no number, and departs every 20 minutes. The fare is 1.5 RMB. Get off at the 'Red Dragon Well Gate' (called ????? or Hong2Long2Jing3Cheng2Men2). Red Dragon Well Gate is an archway in the grey stone Dali Old Town West Wall (approximately 30 minutes on the bus). From this archway, cross the highway and walk 60m along the highway in the same direction as the bus. You should see the Jade Emu International Guesthouse sign (on a 5m pole beside the highway). Turn left up the small street, walk 50m and you will see the 40 square metre sign ahead of you for the Jade Emu guesthouse.
From LiJiang
You will most likely be dropped off near the East Gate of Dali Old Town, however sometimes you may pass the 214 Highway. It is a 20 minute walk from the East Gate to the Jade Emu. Alternatively a taxi will take you here for about 15 RMB. Be sure to tell the bus driver you want to get off at Dali Old Town or otherwise you might find yourself in XiaGuan (Dali New City).
From Dali Old Town
Some mini-buses from Kunming and Lijiang will drop you off in Dali Old Town at various locations. With the map in hand it is an easy walk to the Guest House. If it's been a long day and your backpack/luggage is too heavy, a local taxi will drive you to the Guest House for around 15 RMB.
From Dali Airport
A Taxi from the airport will cost 80-100 RMB to the Jade Emu International Guest House
An important note about taxi drivers...
Some drivers may try to tell you a range of stories such as 'The Jade Emu no longer exists' or 'The Jade Emu is in a dangerous area of Dali'. They do this in an attempt to take you to a less reputable guesthouse that pays them commission to take you there. Our advice in this situation is to find another driver.
Still having trouble finding us? Just give us a call (with the number provided by Hostelworld after booking) from Dali Old Town West Gate and we will come and meet you!.

The Spanish seas by kayak
Canoeing in Laredo (Cantabria)
Kayaking requires a certain degree of physical effort
You can enjoy the coast of Spain in many different ways. Here we suggest the kayak - once you try it you are sure to be hooked. It is an option that will take you to spots on the coast that are hard to get to. Do you want to get the best holiday photo of all? Then climb into a kayak.
Islands, cliffs, unspoilt beaches, idyllic houses, nature reserves, caves, grottos... Variety is one of the main characteristics of Spain's coastline, that stretches for almost 8,000 kilometres. In terms of landscapes, you will find a stunning coastline, packed with areas to discover. The size, stability and ease of use of kayaks make them an ideal way to explore the most hidden parts of the coast from the sea. Kayaking does requires a certain level of physical effort. It is well worthwhile, though, not only for the enjoyment of travelling over the water, but also for the places you can get access to.
A tailor-made trip
If this is the first time you go kayaking, then you should do a course to learn how to manoeuvre the vessel and know the most important factors that affect your progress. In this way you will travel efficiently and safely. In Spain there are companies and schools offering courses with different levels and durations, from one day through to several. There are even courses for experts to perfect their technique. Another option is to go on guided routes and outings where an instructor will show you the basics and then accompany you to discover the most interesting places in the area. Don't worry about the necessary equipment (kayak, paddle, life jacket, etc...) - these are usually provided by the companies.
If you prefer to go under your own steam, then you can also rent a kayak. Even if you decide to bring your own kayak, there are places available for you to store it during your stay at very reasonable prices.
What you should know
However you go about it, for kayaking you should bear in mind a series of recommendations, such as taking dry clothes, water, food and a basic first aid kit. And don't forget sun hat, cream and glasses. It is always better to go with someone else or as a group: not only is it more fun, but safer too. Don't go too far from the coast, especially if you are inexperienced. Inform the sailing club or someone responsible of your travel plan (itinerary and timetable, departure and arrival points, type of kayak used), and let them know once you finish your route. Finally, should you require assistance, you can contact the Coast Guard on 900 202 202.
Exploring the coast of Spain by kayak is an incredible experience. Once you try it, you will want to continue.

It's smart to plan for the future, but it's also possible to take that mantra to extremes. Calvin Phillips, an architect who lived in Tallahassee in the early 20th century, is a good example. You see, in the months leading up to his death in November 1919, Phillips spent most of his time building his own mausoleum.
This might seem a bit out of the ordinary, but Calvin Phillips was no ordinary man. A few bits of evidence suggested to his contemporaries that he had done great things in his lifetime. His purpose for coming to Tallahassee and the details of his earlier life, however, are mostly shrouded in mystery even today.
Census records indicate that Calvin C. Phillips was born around 1834 in Massachusetts. He trained as an architect and lived in New York for some portion of his adult life. His architectural work was honored by medals from the Pennsylvania State Agriculture Society and the "Exposition Universelle" of 1889, which were brought to Florida by his daughter after his death.
In 1907, for unknown reasons, Calvin Phillips moved to Tallahassee. He had been married, and had at least one living daughter, but no family members joined him in his new home. In fact, he lived mostly as a hermit, seeing very few people and hardly ever going out into public. He built a home at 815 South Macomb Street, and erected a large clock tower at one end of the building. Tallahasseeans who met Phillips recalled that the architect was almost obsessed with the concept of time, which would explain the rather imposing structure.
Apparently, he was equally obsessed with the end of his own time. In 1919, Calvin Phillips began constructing a mausoleum in what is now Oakland Cemetery in Tallahassee. He was over eighty years old by this point, and according to eyewitnesses he would spend his frequent breaks sitting inside the mausoleum that would one day serve as his own tomb. One contemporary said Phillips described this practice as his way of "getting used to his new home."
Calvin Phillips' sense of time proved mysterious right up to the end. He finished the mausoleum in November 1919, just days before he passed away. According to his wishes, he was buried in a cherry-wood coffin he himself constructed, and placed in the tomb he had spent so many of his final days creating.
Calvin Phillips' property eventually passed into the possession of Mr. and Mrs. Henry M. Blaine, who in turn gave the house and clock tower to the Florida Heritage Foundation. Efforts to restore the unusual landmark proved prohibitively expensive, and it was torn down in the 1980s. Phillips' mausoleum still stands in Oakland Cemetery, a lasting monument to his unique contribution to Tallahassee's architectural history.
Articles from the Tallahassee Democrat were instrumental in reconstructing this story. Did you know the State Library of Florida has microfilm editions of many Florida newspapers going as far back as before the Civil War? Search the State Library's online catalog or contact the Reference Desk for details.

Last year, we reported the joyous news that Arrested Development wouldn't be getting just a new movie, but a new season as well. The full cast is aiming to return for season four, which will run ten episodes and premiere on Netflix. The fourth season, which will lead into the movie, was originally set up as more of an anthology where each episode would catch up with an individual character. But speaking to an audience at a Netflix-sponsored event in Las Vegas, creator Mitch Hurwitz revealed that he's tweaked the plan for the new season.
Hit the jump for what to expect in season four, and which beloved supporting character will be making an appearance. [Update: We've updated the article with video of Hurwitz speaking at the event.]
According to Vulture, Hurwitz told the audience that the new season, "is now kind of evolving into becoming more like the old show again." The reason for the change? Because all of season four will debut at once rather than week-to-week. "There's something exciting about trying to break the form again," said Hurwitz. So if you're an Arrested Devleopment fan (and you should be), plan to set aside 220 minutes to watch all of season four (assuming that the episodes are still around 22 minutes).
Hurwitz wouldn't mention any specific details on the plot, but he did provide some info on what the new season will offer in terms of structure:
"There's going to be some mystery sprinkled throughout this [but] instead of watching one a week and try to get ahead of it, the hope is [fans] will watch them all together and then go back and look for clues and connections," Hurwitz explained. "We'd also like to use the technology to provide additional material, where you might be able to access another part of the story."
This is definitely the Arrested Development we all know and love. It's a show that rewards multiple viewings. As far as new technology, I assume this means something along the lines of an iPad app similar to what HBO has for Game of Thrones, but that's just a guess on my part.
There was also the exciting news that Hurwitz would consider doing a fifth and sixth season of the show, adding "We would love this to be the first of many visits." However, this seems like a bit of a long shot since the show would have to sign the entire cast for two more seasons, and it's already been a challenge to get the schedules to work out for season four.
Finally, Hurwitz said fan favorite Bob Loblaw (Scott Baio) will make an appearance in season four:
"It's kind of a one-joke thing. But if you guys don't mind bringing it back, we'll give it to you."
I don't think Arrested Development fans mind bringing anyone back, but some supporting characters have more support than others (there's a petition to get Steve Holt into season four). Personally, I'm casting my vote for Franklin.
Here's video from the event:

California voters don't want recreational marijuana smoking in the state but do want the budget passed by a simple majority. Other clear messages from this election: voters don't want to pay more for their vehicle registration, even if given the incentive of free access to parks but the state's landmark global warming law will stay as is.
With 19 precincts reporting, Proposition 19, the measure that would make it legal for adults over 21 to possess up to an ounce of marijuana for personal use and to grow pot gardens up to 25 acres, was tracking toward defeat with a 56 percent no vote.
Climate change, the campaign's other hot-button issue, also appeared to be failing with a 58 percent no vote. Proposition 23 sought to postpone the 2006 Global Warming Solutions Act, which would impose industrial emission limits starting in 2012 and mandate fossil fuel energy reductions by 2020.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Proposition 25, which would lower the legislative vote threshold for adopting the state budget from a two-thirds to a simple majority, received a 55 percent approval rate with 89% of the precincts reporting.
The state's budget crisis spawned several other initiatives. Proposition 21 would levy an $18 surcharge on motor vehicle registration to compensate for funding cuts to state parks. In exchange, cars with state license plates would get free admission. Fifty-eight percent of voters rejected that measure.
Voters approved Proposition 22, closing loopholes that last year allowed Sacramento to siphon $5.5 billion temporarily from local governments, and Proposition 26 mandating that new fees be adopted with a two-thirds majority vote, instead of a simple majority.
Almost 60 percent of voters were against Proposition 24, which would have repeal three corporate tax breaks that save businesses $1.3 billion a year. Businesses opposed the measure.
Propositions 20 and 27 are opposing measures that would determine how the state's legislative and congressional districts are drawn for the 2012 elections. Proposition 20 seeks to have a 14-member citizens commission draw the congressional districts, while 27 would abolish the panel altogether.
Proposition 20 was leading with 61 percent of voters approving the idea, while Proposition 27 was being defeated with 59 percent.

Please allow me to begin this post by saying that I find nothing about living with multiple sclerosis to be a "good thing", a "blessing" in any way or something for which I am "thankful". MS did not "give" me anything positive, I am not a "better person" because of this disease and I would give back and relearn every lesson I have gained ten times over if I could matriculate in another of life's hard knocks courses.
I say those things - repeat them really, as I've said them over and over again - because what I'm about to write about might sound a little Pollyanna to those who do not know me as an MS Pragmatist (I don't see the glass as half-empty or half-full; I just try to figure out how I can live on half a glass…)
In an interview I heard over the weekend, a young, Spanish jazz musician was talking about her use of the traditional gaita (pronounced "GY-tah"), a version of the bagpipe from her native region of Galicia, in her music.
Cristina Pato spoke of trying to record the famous Miles Davis contemplative and (I'll attest to it as a former trumpet player) difficult composition, "Blue & Green", using an instrument which just doesn't have all of the notes Davis' trumpet could produce.
Pato spoke of the "constant challenge I have with my instrument…" and BOY couldn't I understand that. Not as a former hornsman, but rather as a person living with a disease that robs the control of my instrument… my body.
And then she said something which has had me going back to listen to the interview over and over again since Sunday morning.
She spoke of her "…passion about the instrument because it has so many (and this was the hook for me) beautiful limitations that really make you work harder to get things done"
That's it in a nutshell for me; this living with MS thing.
My instrument – my body – has limitations now that it didn't have before. These are not the simple limitations that age will place on a person; MS has nibbled, bit, stripped and ripped away many of the notes I once had in my scales (that this particular piece of music is a textbook example of Model Jazz – music made up of scale progressions rather than chords – also made this former musician with MS smile a little for the analogy). MS has not, however, taken away my desire to make life's music.
That it is more difficult to do the things that were once easy (and still should be), or that I cannot do them at all but still try lends a kind of sweetness to those things still possible; especially to the tasks of life once executed without thought or effort but now require great concentration and even struggle. Succeed or fail at the tasks at hand, I revel in the trying and the sweetness of the limitations.
Maybe, particularly as it is Inauguration Day, you will allow me to quote Theodore Roosevelt (surely no Pollyanna) to close this blog;
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat"
Amen, Mr. President… Amen.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

FLINT, Michigan — Amir Baz didn't lug a heavy textbook around for his college history class.
He just read the chapters on his iPhone.
Fewer textbooks are being spotted on the University of Michigan-Flint campus as more students such as Baz "carry" books on laptops, iPads, Nooks, Kindles and even smart phones this semester.
The demand for eTextbooks seems to be booming, with the UM-Flint bookstore seeing a tenfold increase in sales in the last year.
"As we become more high-tech, I think more students are going to get into the habit of getting textbooks online," said Baz, 18, of Fenton. "I think eTextbooks will eventually take over regular textbooks."
It's one of several ways local college students can cut costs on pricey textbooks.
A group of UM-Flint students recently launched Flintbookswap.com to allow students to directly sell to each other. Bookstores at Mott Community College and Kettering University last year rolled out rental book program Rent-A-Text.
Discount sites such as Amazon.com and half.com have also slashed costs.
Baz said new editions seem to come out almost every year for textbooks that can be hundreds of pages long and cost a couple of hundred dollars each. Many times, the changes in the new edition seem small.
He said some students see eTextbooks that provide the full text of books in a digital format as a greener and sometimes — although not always — cheaper choice.
Publishers are homing in on the market, issuing newer and more sophisticated products to enhance the e-book experience.
iPads and e-readers such as the Nook or Kindle allow students to highlight text and take notes. Programs such as Nook study — recently launched at UM-Flint through the campus's bookstore owner Barnes and Noble — also allow students to access study guides and other digital aids to enhance digital learning.
"eTextbooks weren't very popular before because they were just words on a screen," said Karen DiScala, manager of corporate communications at Barnes and Noble. "Now you can interact with them ... and that is kind of leading the charge in new ways of learning."
UM-Flint international business major Todd Ackerman tried his first eTextbook last semester for an accounting class.
He said most students already take laptops to class for note-taking. Now their computers can also allow access to their books.
"They'd much rather carry their laptop than four or five books," said Ackerman, of Grand Blanc. "Less strain on your back."
He said his eTextbook cost half as much its print counterpart.
But there were cons, too.
It was more tempting to get distracted by other online activities such as Facebook or YouTube while reading and studying online, he said.
Ackerman said reading itself is also easier with a printed book.
"It's something you have to get used to," he said. "Everything is online these days. It's just an adjustment we're all making."
The trend hasn't hit every college, with campuses such as Baker College reporting that the majority of students still prefer hardbound copies. Some professors at local colleges also require textbooks that aren't offered in a digital format yet.
And many ebooks come with price tags similar to regular books, making students still opt for cheaper discount Web sites and used books instead.
But the numbers of students using eTextbooks continues to grow, with 1 in 10 students reporting the purchase of one, according to digital course materials supplier CourseSmart.
"Print books aren't going anywhere anytime soon and publishers understand eTextbooks aren't the right solution for everyone. Everyone has a choice," said CourseSmart Spokeswoman Karen Marotta.
"But eTextbooks are appealing to professors and students mainly because of accessibility and cost and this is definitely something analysts and companies are seeing as the future."

I was born in Mitrovica and lived there for the first 13 years of my life. We lived in the northern part of town. Mitrovica was totally different then. Now, it is like an apartment except that you can't go into one of the rooms. It was a nice town. When I went to school, we Albanians went in the afternoon and Serbs went in the morning. We did not have any contacts with them and we could not use the gym or the laboratories. They were locked, so we did sport outside.
We did have Serbian neighbours. People we said "hello" or "good afternoon" to, but I did not have any Serbian friends. Both my parents used to work for the Trepca mining complex but both were kicked out in 1989. After that my father ran a shop and my mother was at home.
When the bombing started in 1999, on April 4, men with military uniform came into our home and threatened us and told us we had to leave. They beat my father in front of us; me, my mother, my brother, my aunt and grandmother. They said: "You can't stay. You've got to go!" My grandmother said: "Where should we go?" They said: "Go to your country, go to Albania." My grandmother said: "Kosova is our country. I was born here and have lived 65 years here."
My grandfather had a holiday house near Ulcinj in Montenegro. We stayed there until the end of August. Then my father and aunt tried to go back. But our home was burned and the north was under Serbian control.
Then we had many problems. We found a flat in Pristina but after two years we had to move but now we have one of our own.
As for our home in north Mitrovica, that house is very special. It is the house of my grandfather. My mother and aunt plan to rebuild it. They are not planning to sell it.
When we first came to Pristina I was not happy. I was very lonely. I did not know anyone. I was 13 years old and the city was very big. Other kids treated me like a refugee or someone from a small town. But, this only lasted for a month. Then I created a great friendship with them. Since then things have been great. I went to music school, I was involved with the youth centre of Pristina, exhibitions and concerts. In 2004 I started to become a singer.
Flakareshat came after I was in a contest like American Idol in Tirana. I came fifth out of 7,000. Now I am studying entrepreneurship at the American University here.
My life is very dynamic. I wake up at 7.00 am. I go to school, have lectures and then we have meetings for projects at the university. Then I go to Radio Blue Sky where I have a daily programme about showbiz news. People are eager to know the gossip! Listeners send in SMS messages. I do backing vocals for other singers and I am working on my first album. I sing at the Jazz 212 club and I often used to sing at the Oda theatre.
Because I am so busy I keep in touch with my friends by SMS and MSN messenger. The best thing here is that Pristina has many young people transmitting a very positive energy. Those people give me a lot. I realise I should give something back. I owe them something.
The worst thing? Everyone says it is electricity shortages. But we are used to them. They are part of our life. The worst thing are the young people who don't have places to go or jobs. They just come to come to cafes and drink coffee, so all the cafes are full.
People think that independence will come and everything will be solved. But, I don't think it will be like that.
In the future I would like to have a music studio in Pristina which would open its doors to talented young musicians to whom I could give my support.
My latest song and video is called "A ka Arsy?" In English that means, "Is there a reason?" I made it with Bimmi, who is a famous rapper. It is part of a campaign called "Generation of Change", and more specifically it is part of a domestic violence awareness campaign, produced by the UN here:
- Rona Nishliu to represent Albania at the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest in Baku. Watch her song Suus on YouTube.
- The Economist Eastern approaches blog, Tim Judah, "Singing for Kosovo" (7 January 2012)

Quick Fix: Silence A Squeaky Floor
Nothing's More Annoying Than a Floor That Creaks and Squeaks. Fixing the Problem Means Finding Its Cause
Wood floors, especially well-kept ones, are charming, easy to maintain and look great. But what do you do when the floor talks back? Constant squeaking and creaking from below can grow irksome. We can tell you how to silence that wood floor once and for all.
Why is my Floor Creaking in the First Place?
Floor noise is caused when loose flooring rubs together, or is the result of a loose nail sliding up and down on a piece of wood. Your talkative floor could also be telling you that it is rubbing against pipes or air ducts, so it's best to be sure if you can.
Where do I start?
The good news about your squeaky floor is that you have many options for repairing it. Most home improvement stores sell squeaky floor "kits" that may be all you need. Before even heading to the store, try pouring baby powder into the squeaky spot(s). This will absorb the space between the boards and may be all you need to finally get some peace. For more complicated projects, we recommend that you fix squeaks from the bottom up, meaning you should try to get underneath the spot(s) where the squeaking is occurring, if possible. Usually this means putting on grubby clothes (remember those acid-washed jeans?) and going underneath the house with a flashlight.
A Little Background
Once you're under the house, you'll notice that the floor is held up by beams. Think of your floor of looking something like a raft. The beams are called joists, and they sit under the subfloor, the layer of wood underneath floor you walk upon. Some houses have 4X6 beams approximately every 48" with a 2X6 subfloor, running perpendicular to and nailed directly onto the beams. Other houses have 4X6 beams with 2X6 or 2X8 joists sitting atop the beams every 16" on center. Those joists usually have ¾ or 1 1/18 plywood as a subfloor. Knowing the exact thickness of the subfloor as well as the hardwood floor is crucial to floor repairs of this caliber, so write it down!
Your goal is to find the precise spot of the loose floorboard and attach it to the subfloor. You may want to grab a friend and have her walk around to find the exact location while you listen from below. If possible, use a cell phone, since shouting through the floor isn't always terribly productive.
Once you locate the spot, most of the time all you'll need to do is drive a nail or self-tapping trim screw into it, connecting the loose board to the subfloor. (A self-tapping screw just refers to how the screw fastens to the material) Pick a nail or screw that's long enough to connect well into the squeaky board, but not so long that it'll poke up through your flooring.
Can't Get Under?
If you can't get underneath the noise, you can go at it from the top. First, drill a pilot hole into the floor at angle where you hear the noise coming from. (Drilling the holes prevents the wood from splitting) Then, drive a finish nail directly into the spot. Your nail should be just slightly larger than the pilot hole. It is recommended to use a nail set (a device for driving the nail deep into the wood?it is also referred to as a nail punch) to drive the nail. This way, the nail disappears beneath the surface and you can conceal the hole with wood putty. Again, a self-tapping finish trim screw can be used in lieu of a hammer and nail.
Creaking Under Carpet
If you have wall to wall carpet and you can't access the flooring from underneath, you're in a trickier spot. If the source is near a wall, your best bet is to pull up the carpet and deal with the wood underneath. But if that squeak is out in the middle of the room, you may want to try to screw that board down to an underlying joist. You'll need to drill a pilot hole for the screw first (at an angle), then countersink the top of the hole (drilling a shallow hole wide enough and just deep enough for the screw-head to sink down into and not stick up). Then, go ahead and sink the screw right down into the carpet, through the pad and into the floor.
Other Quick Fixers: Shimming
Sometimes there is extra space between the joists and subfloor, and that can be the cause of your squeaking. If you have ever cured a wobbly table with a wad of napkins, you know what is going to happen next. At the hardware store, buy shims-thin little pads-and slip them between the joists and the subfloor. Do not force them in place; just gently tap them in. Extra elbow grease on this one may cause the floor to lift and-oh no! - cause more squeaking.
If you find that several of the boards are moving when you walk over it, you can install a cleat instead of shimming the floor. A cleat is made from a 1X4 piece of wood that you hammer between the joist and the subfloor.
If your squeaking has graduated from a cute whimper to a prolonged moan over a large area, you may need to do some reinforcing. Two or more of your joists may be shifting underfoot. Luckily, this too is easy to handle. You will need some steel bridging, so once you have located the problem area, measure the length between the wobbly joists. The bridging should consist of two thin metal posts, which you will install in a criss-cross (X) between the joists, hammering them into place.
Raised Boards
If you have noticed that a few of the boards of your wood floor are just the slightest bit raised, this may be contributing to the noise factor. Again, you will need to get underneath the floor. Drill a hole through the subfloor to the squeak spot. Then, drill another, smaller hole into the floor. Have a friend stand on the spot from above to push the floor down into place. While she does that, secure the area with a wood screw. Repeat around the spot as necessary.
Silencing Spooky Stairs
Creaking stairs are a common problem and are a result of all the intricate parts of the staircase becoming loose and/or rubbing together. The two main parts of a stair you will need to know are the tread (the part that you step on) and the riser. Risers are the boards that reach from level to level, in other words, the boards that hold up the treads. (You may also hear someone talk about stringers, which are the long, angled pieces of wood holding the whole staircase up.)
Are you still with us? Good!
Just like the floor, you will need to get behind or underneath the staircase to silence any squeaks, using basically the same method just described-attach the loose board to the nearest stable piece. If getting underneath the stairs is not feasible, that's okay.
If you can tell that the edge of the tread has worked its way loose from the riser, you can simply hammer a nail right though the tread to secure it. First though, follow our instructions on drilling holes in the wood. Again, you will drill holes at an angle, and then drive in the nail with a nail set.
Similar to shimming a floor, you can insert a small sliver of wood between the back part of the tread and the riser. (Imagine stepping on a stair. Your toes would be pointing directly at this crack) Gather a few pieces of scrap wood and play around with them to see which one fits in the crack best. Then, cover it with wood glue and drive the wedge into the spot, trimming away any excess wood when the glue is dry.
Brace Yourself
If you can get behind the staircase, you can brace the tread and riser together with a 2X2 piece of wood, similar to the cleating we did on the floor. First, drill holes into the 2X2 blocks of wood on two adjacent long sides. To secure it to the wood without using a helper, glue it against the tread and riser first, and then screw it into place.
Good luck putting the lid on your noisy floor! Now if you could only do the same with that noisy neighbor...

This graduate-level capstone program is intended to provide a mix of GIS theory and practical experience for many possible applications and fields such as:
Agriculture, Archeology, Conservation, Demography, Economics, Emergency Management, Law Enforcement, Marketing, Natural Resource Managment, Public Health, Transportation, Urban Planning, Wildlife Ecology, and more!
What is GIS? Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a discipline devoted to the acquisition, storage, management, analysis, and visualization of spatial data. GIS gives you the ability to integrate and analyze spatial and non-spatial information for mapping, planning and decision-making.
About the Program
The primary goal of the program is to ensure that students become sufficiently grounded in theoretical underpinnings of GIS to make informed use of existing GIS applications and gain skills needed to construct new applications in the physical or social realms. The full range of GIS capabilities is covered, including data capture, analysis, modeling and cartographic representation.
The program covers the foundations of GIS and spatial analysis, including cartography and statistical methods. Through hands-on exposure in the form of lab exercises, course projects, and an internship or independent project, experience will be acquired with major GIS software packages, including ArcGIS. By teaching concepts and hands-on use, the program differs from a typical short course designed for GIS training in a particular software package.
The program is intended to serve:
- recent graduates who wish to acquire technical expertise to support the topical knowledge gained in their undergraduate major
- returning students who wish to acquire specialized training to meet current (or future) job requirements calling for GIS knowledge
