Shaykh Muhammad Mutawalli al-Sha'rawi
Shaykh Muhammad Mutawalli al-Sha'rawi (1911 – 1998)
Shaykh Muhammad Mutawalli al-Sha'rawi was born in a middle class family that was known in the village of Daqadus for its devotion to Islam. From the time of Shaykh al-Sha'rawi's birth, his father had high aspirations for him.
In his childhood he went through the process of memorizing the holy Qur'an in the village's Kuttab . When he finished the memorization his fellow villagers called him al-Shaykh Amin . Amin was Shaykh al-Sha'rawi's nickname in his childhood.
In the year 1930, he attended the primary Azharite education in the Zaqaziq institute of religious education. Whenever he returned to his village, his Qur'an tutor encouraged him to teach Islamic knowledge in the village's mosque. This was Shaykh al-Sha'rawi's first mass lecturing.
In 1930, Shaykh al-Sha'rawi's village Daqadus protested against the Egyptian government of that time and the villagers refused to participate in the parliamentary elections. This led to a confrontation with the police and the village was put under curfue. The curfue coincided with the memorandum of the Egyptian leader Sa'd Zaghlool, and the young Shaykh al-Sha'rawi made a public poem in remembrance of Sa'd Zaghlool despite the police presence.
In 1936, Shaykh al-Sha'rawi travelled to Cairo to enroll in the Faculty of Arabic Language in al-Azhar.
There were several teachers and preachers who contributed to Shaykh al-Sha'rawi's personality. Scholars who contributed to the shaping of Shaykh al-Sha'rawi's knowledge during his Azharite undergraduate years include Shaykh Ahmad Yusuf Nagati , Shaykh Ahmad `Imara , Shaykh Ibrahim Hamrush who is described by Shaykh al-Sha'rawi as the Arabic Language genious of his time and Shaykh Muhammad Mustafa al-Maraghi . Shaykh al-Sha'rawi mentions other non-Azharites whose knowledge contributed to his own like Imam Hassan al-Banna who had a unique methodogy of lecturing. Shaykh al-Sha'rawi admired the poetry of Ahmad Shawqi who is known in Egypt and the Arab world as the prince of poets.
In the mid thirties Shaykh al-Sha'rawi led a student movement in al-Azhar whose objective was to ensure al-Azhar's independence. The movement was known as al-Maraghi's movement since its members preferred the return of Shaykh Muhammad Mustafa al-Maraghi to the position of al-Azhar's Grand Imam. This objective was at odds with the will of Egypt's rulers. As the young Shaykh was one of the movement's leaders he was detained in prison for a month in the jail of al-Zaqaziq. In the end the movement succeeded and Imam al-Maraghi retained his position.
Shaykh al-Sha'rawi graduated from the Faculty of Arabic Language in 1941 and in 1943 he obtained the specialization degree from the same faculty.
Shaykh al-Sha'rawi started his Azharite teaching work in Tanta's institue of religious studies. He was then transferred to equivalent institutes in al-Zaqaziq and Alexandria
Outside Egypt.
In 1950 he started his long career of teaching outside Egypt. He was sent by al-Azhar to Saudi Arabia to teach in King Abd al-Aziz al-Su'ud university in Mecca. He then returned to Egypt in the early sixties and worked in several Azharite positions.
In the mid-sixties Algeria won its independence after a long war with the French occupation. One of the highest priorities of the newly independent Algeria was to re-Arabize the country which was tarnished during the years of colonization by the French language. In 1966 al-Azhar sent to Algeria a delegation of Arabic language specialists whose president was Shaykh al-Sha'rawi.
In 1970 Shaykh al-Sha'rawi worked for the second time in King Abd al-Aziz university in Saudi Arabia.
In 1975 he returned finally to Egypt. In that year he made an impressive impact on the Egyptian audience when he appeared in the weekly television program Nur `Ala Nur. His lecturing style was so different than traditional Azharites and he always conveyed ideas in a method that is understandable to everyone. Since that time Shaykh al-Sha'rawi's fame skyrocketed.
He retired from the Azharite career in 1976. In the same year he was appointed by president Sadat as a minister of Waqf. He stayed in that position for two years.
In 1980 he started his famous Friday lessons on the Egyptian television. His speaches in Qur'an interpretation (Tafsir) attracted a massive audience that is probably unparalleled by any contemporary Azharite.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday named 17 interim U.S. attorneys to temporarily take the place of some of the dozens of Obama administration holdovers he ordered to resign last year.
Sessions was facing a deadline. The vacancies had been temporarily filled by prosecutors who are permitted to serve in that position for just 300 days. The White House still hasn't nominated anyone to serve permanently as top prosecutor in each of the 17 districts, including the high-profile Southern District of New York, which encompasses Manhattan, where Trump Tower and other family-owned properties are located.
The nominations, while temporary, could put the interim appointees in strong positions to be tapped for the permanent slot.
Sessions in March sought resignation letters from 46 U.S. attorneys who were Obama appointees, including Preet Bharara, the high-profile Manhattan federal prosecutor who was fired after refusing to step down with the others. Attention has focused on who will replace him, given Trump's interest in the district. Sessions named Geoffrey S. Berman, who emerged early on as the Trump administration's candidate. He worked as a federal prosecutor in the Southern District in the 1990s and is now a law partner of former New York Mayor and Trump ally Rudy Giuliani.
It's fairly customary for the 93 U.S. attorneys to leave their posts once a new president is in office, but the abrupt nature of the dismissals in March angered some. The Senate has now confirmed 46 U.S. attorneys and 12 more have been nominated.
The vacancies have left Sessions without politically appointed leaders in key regions to carry out his crime-fighting agenda. The temporary appointees can serve for 120 days before Trump must nominate permanent U.S attorneys and seek to have them confirmed by the Senate.
The nominees include Richard Donoghue in the Eastern District of New York, counsel to CA Technologies who was a longtime prosecutor in that district. There's also Craig Carpenito in New Jersey, who represented Gov. Chris Christie during the George Washington Bridge lane closing scandal. Some have been serving as acting U.S. attorney already, like Stephen Dambruch in Rhode Island and Gregory Brooker in Minnesota.
"It is critical to have U.S. Attorneys in place during this time of rising violent crime, a staggering increase in homicides, and an unprecedented drug crisis," Sessions said in a statement, adding that his picks have "excellent prosecution skills and the temperament necessary to succeed in this critical role."

The Reason for AA isn't because you're mocked or put under a situation where you aren't represented well. Its based off of the fact that blacks,mexican,NA, and etc are not given the same opportunities in school and hence their education process was much harder. Most people that are lgb don't come out until college most of the time and that doesn't affect the way they were brought up in elementary and high school
Yes, I've overcome a lot of "challenges" and have faced some "discrimination", but how do you describe that without coming off as just another a sob story? I've obviously accomplished a lot despite it all, so what's the point in dragging up what I see as irrelevant parts of my identity?
Personally, I think for one year, law schools should admit only gay people. Then straights can see what it feels like to be discriminated against! Consider it reparations.At the very least, the government should issue a three-dollar bill and make it pink...
but to have a checkbox, and give bonus credit would be a mistake.

Nars Spring Collection
If Dries Van Noten's plaid-happy spring collection didn't quite satiate your '90s nostalgia, Nars is here to help. The brand's spring color collection boasts a rich palette of burgundy, mustard yellow, and shiny metallics reminiscent of that grunge-soaked decade. There's something for every complexion (and occasion), from cobalt blue eye shadow to a classic wine lipstick, but we've fallen for two universally flattering products: the Seduction Blush ($28) in Santiago and the Corcovado Soft Touch Shadow Pencil ($24) in 24-Karat Gold. The raspberry-colored powder blush pops on both pale and bronzed skin and, if you're daring enough, is just the right shade for a smoky red eye. The gold pencil practically melts into the skin, highlighting all the right places or lending a royal finish to the rest of your eye makeup--the trick to making that plaid flannel shirt feel fresh.-Britt Aboutaleb

Career Rescue: Full-timers can keep their side jobs
Q: I recently accepted a job. I have a part-time business, but I left my own business out of my resume. I don't want is to lose this job. What's the protocol for this?
A:While employers are attracted to an entrepreneurial spirit, they want employees to focus on creating profitability for their companies. If you decide to keep your side business, make sure it does not interfere with your job. As long as it does not jeopardize your employer's success, it shouldn't be an issue.
Having a part-time business can be a great backup plan. For those who have been through many workforce changes, a second job can provide the next step if their full-time position is at risk.
Keeping your own business running probably involves long hours, so create boundaries around your time.
Here are some tips to help you manage your full-time job and your own business.
Keep your personal business separate from your full-time job. Dividing your energy between two jobs can lead to fatigue that may adversely affect both businesses.
Stay flexible and remember the employer's needs are your top priority.
Don't bring your side business into the workplace.
Don't create the impression you are more self-focused than employer-focused.

Have you installed 35" or larger tires and after market axles on your JK and are now suffering from steering woes? Well if so, PSC now offers complete cylinder assist steering kits for '07 and newer JK series Jeeps. Kits consist of all new steering components pictured, including a 100% new steering gear and pump. All steering cylinder mount brackets weld on to your new axles and tie rod. The High volume pump kit mounts in the factory position and includes an external reservoir. Different axles have different steering geometry, so you may need to measure the amount of axle steering throw. The steering gearbox in this particular kit retains the stock OEM valving. This valving allows the handling to remain as close to the way the vehicle was engineered to be as possible. You will have decent road feel on the highway and no over steer. The steering input effort will remain un-altered from stock at all speeds. The steering assist will increase the actually turning force of the steering components without changing the effort of what the driver physically has put forth. This kit is highly recommended for the customer that drives their vehicle daily on public roads. If you should choose to use a reduced effort steering gear / cylinder assist kit, the drivability at highway speeds can be adversely affected. Also a note of caution, if you vehicle has poor handling characteristics before installing light valved cylinder assist system, the handling will be even more adversely effected. For that reason light valved steering kits are recommended for vehicles that are built for the off-road and rarely driven on public roads. Cylinder assist systems will not correct poor on road steering characteristics. Use Swepco 715 Power Steering Fluid in all PSC Systems. WARNING!!!! MUST USE A POWER STEERING FLUID COOLER WITH THIS HIGH PERFORMANCE PUMP TO KEEP FROM DAMAGING PUMP.
Headquartered in Fort, Texas, Performance Steering Components (PSC) grew out of founder Tom Allen's business to re-manufacture rack & pinion steering gears originally launched over 30 years ago. He graduated to custom steering gear and system builds for off-road and racing applications and the business grew. Now, PSC Motorsports boasts over 200 dealers and its sales staff maintains an avid interest in off-road related innovations and events. 4WD carries a wide spectrum of PSC products for Jeeps including power steering conversion kits, Jeep steering boxes and Jeep hydraulic steering assists to keep your trips on and off the trail safe and smooth.

Design Wall
It has been a while since I have shown you what I am working on, I have a couple items to show you today. When I was picking up fabrics to add to the birthday boxes, I found a lovely tan fabric with Pink flowers on it. While you recover from my remarking on anything P.I.N.K. as being lovely I shall share with you that I went back and picked up about 5 yards along with a couple yards of a dusty Marble PINK and a cream print that I actually like so much I am planning to grab a couple more yards to help with my neutrals.
Okay, this is not the best picture in the world as my phone is dying, but hopefully you can see the contrast between the two fabrics. I am making a pile of Jacob's Ladder quilt blocks, but I am still thinking about how I am going to lay them out. My goal is for this to become a baby quilt for a little girl.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Curly Culp believes that practice makes perfect.
Culp, the girls junior varsity head basketball coach at Yreka High School, helped run a shooting camp this past week.
The week-long camp, which had girls from sixth grade to high school age take part, worked with the players on a variety of drills and had different guest coaches teach them how to perfect their shot.
This is the first year the Lady Miners basketball program has held the camp.
Culp said that the hope is to help these girls develop good shooting habits and empathize to them that it takes a lot of dedication and practice to become a good shooter.
Culp said that this summer. the Lady Miners basketball program is planning a 25,000 shot camp. The plan is for the girls who take part to shoot the ball 25,000 times over the summer, Culp said.
By the time basketball season rolls around in the winter, Culp believes they will hopefully see the girls on the Miners basketball teams transformed into better shooters.
"If we can improve our shooting we feel it will help open up the rest of our offense," he said.
One of the girls who participated in the camp was Aleycia LaRue, who played on the Lady Miners freshman basketball team this past winter.
LaRue said the camp was a great way for her to become a more complete shooter.
"The camp helped make me a better shooter because of the repetition of shots we practiced," LaRue said. "Shooting is all about muscle memory, so taking hundreds of shots a day was very helpful. We also had multiple experienced coaches to help us get a correct form for our shooting."
During the camp, guest coaches who know a thing or two about shooting came out to help the girls.
This included Tom Powers, the women's head basketball coach at College of the Siskiyous.
During the camp on Wednesday, Culp asked Katie Brummett, who recently completed her senior year on the basketball team and helped out at the camp, how she was able to become a better shooter throughout her high school career.
"I kept shooting," she said. Brummett added that constantly practicing her shooting helped her on the court during game time.
LaRue said that one thing that helped her at the camp was being videotaped while shooting the basketball.
"It allowed me to look at my form instead of just feeling what I was doing," LaRue said. "This helped me improve a lot. It let me get a look at what I needed to do to get a better shot."
LaRue believes that being more consistent shooters will only help the program next season.
"At the high school level, a lot of games are won by free throws," she said. "Good shooters are a very important thing for a team to have."

DeMar DeRozan scores 30 to help Raptors hold off Hornets 104-97 in OT
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
NEW ORLEANS – DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points, Kyle Lowry had two big baskets in overtime and the Toronto Raptors held off the New Orleans Hornets 104-97 on Friday night.
The Raptors, who never trailed in the second half, scored nine of the first 11 points in overtime after blowing a seven-point lead in the last 1:30 of regulation. Amir Johnson scored under the basket to give Toronto a 93-91 lead. Lowry then drove the baseline for a reverse layup and hit a 3-pointer to make it 98-93.
DeRozan finished off the Hornets with two free throws and an outside shot that made it 102-95 with 31.7 seconds left.
Lowry, coming off the bench after missing seven straight games with a partial triceps tear, had 17 points. Alan Anderson added 14 points for the Raptors.
Rookie big man Anthony Davis led New Orleans with 25 points. Greivis Vasquez added 20 points, 14 assists and nine rebounds, falling just shy of his first career triple-double.
The Raptors won for only the third time in 18 road games, while the Hornets fell to 3-12 at home.
With Toronto leading 85-83, DeRozan scored on a driving layup, then stole Austin Rivers' pass and converted a three-point play to make the score 90-83 with 1:38 left.
The Hornets responded with a 3-pointer from Brian Roberts and a driving layup by Vasquez to cut the margin to 90-88. After DeRozan sank one of two free throws, the Hornets' Ryan Anderson drained a tying 3-pointer that hit the rim twice before falling in with 8.1 seconds left.
DeRozan had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but his fallaway from the baseline clanged off the rim.
The Hornets hardly hit anything in overtime, going 2 of 11 from the field.
New Orleans tied the score three times in the third quarter and again on Anderson's clutch 3 near the end of regulation but could not pull ahead. Vasquez missed an open 3 in overtime that would have given the Hornets a 96-95 lead.
Leading 72-68, the Raptors went up by double digits with a 9-0 run in the fourth. Lowry scored a fast-break layup off Anderson's turnover, Johnson scored and Terrence Ross hit two free throws with 6:29 left to make the score 81-68.
The Hornets responded with a quick 8-0 spurt on a three-point play by Davis, two free throws from Vasquez and a 3 by Anderson that cut the deficit to 83-78 with 4:04 left.
Toronto scored 23 points off 16 New Orleans turnovers. The Hornets forced only seven miscues, getting five points off them.
The Raptors also took advantage of several Hornets droughts. New Orleans missed 11 of its last 14 shots in the first half and went cold in the second half, making only three field goals from the 3:30 mark of the third quarter to the 6:15 mark of the fourth.
The Raptors led 48-42 at halftime despite shooting 16 of 41 from the floor (39 percent) and 1 of 12 from 3-point range. The difference was free throws and turnovers.
Toronto made 15 of 18 foul shots, including 7 of 8 from DeRozan, and committed only two turnovers. The Hornets had eight miscues and were only 8 of 13 on free throws.
NOTES: Lowry came off the bench because Raptors coach Dwane Casey thought Jose Calderon deserved to keep his starting job. "He's earned it," Casey said. Calderon then shot 1 of 6. ... Hornets reserve forward Jason Smith returned from a seven-game absence due to a torn labrum, scoring two points in 12:10. ... Toronto outscored New Orleans 49-31 off the bench. ... Hornets center Robin Lopez, who has scored 85 points in his last four games, had nine on 3-of-8 shooting. ... Anderson had a game-high 12 rebounds.

Recipe for Fall: Sazerac Cocktail
As the days grow shorter and cooler, I begin to crave drinks with subtle, complex flavors. With its delicately layered and nuanced flavors and aromas, the Sazerac feels like the perfect drink for this time of year.
Although, for some, the Sazerac might be more likely to bring to mind sultry summer weather (it is the official drink of the City of New Orleans, after all), its warming whiskey base and aromatic layers of anise, spice, and citrus make it a lovely choice for toasting the changing colors of fall.
Invented around 1830 by Emile Peychaud, an apothecary who created herbal medicines in French Quarter of New Orleans, the Sazerac is believed to be the very first cocktail ever created. (For more on this story – and on the cocktail's cinematic claim to fame – see our previous posts on James Bond and cocktail bitters.)
As is the case with any cocktail that's been around more than a few decades, the Sazerac has seen more than a few variations on its basic recipe. Some versions call for Cognac as a base spirit, others rye whiskey, and others still, a mixture of both. Some add a dash of Angostura bitters to the Peychaud's. Some get their sweetness from a sugar cube, others from simple syrup. Some are served over ice in a rocks glass, others…well, you get the idea. What follows is my own favorite way to make and serve a Sazerac. I hope you'll enjoy it too.
Sazerac Cocktail
Makesone cocktail
Approximately 1 teaspoon absinthe (I used Pernod absinthe, but regular Pernod liqueur, Herbsaint, Ricard, or any other pastis will work as well)
- 2 ounces
rye whiskey (I used Old Overholt)
- 1/2 ounce
simple syrup (for a super-fast, super-easy recipe, see our previous post)
- 1 to 2 dashes
"Rinse" a stemmed cocktail glass or Old Fashioned glass with the absinthe or pastis by rolling a small measure of liqueur inside it until it fully coats the inside of the glass. Pour out any excess. Set the glass aside. Now combine the whiskey, simple syrup, and bitters in a cocktail shaker with ice. Stir and strain into the absinthe-coated glass. Cut a thin slice of fresh lemon peel. Keeping the yellow side facing downwards, twist the peel so that the essential oils are released over the surface of the drink. Discard the peel. Sit back and watch the autumn light shift and the leaves slowly turn.

Wofford College's future, past, and present shares a common desire to give to others whether through service and time or giving pearls of education to all who pass through its gates.
Wofford's service roots originate in connections and dialogue between faculty and students. In the early 1950's, Professor Ratah McGee and a student, Farrell Cox, started an afternoon project with children in a nearby economically disadvantaged neighborhood. Students passed beneath the railroad pass behind Wofford College to the area where Vic Bailey Automotive stands now for "Gas Bottom" service each day. The Gas Bottom Project, named for the neighborhood near where it originated, was one of the first bi- racial projects in South Carolina. Students' engagement in bi-racial service marked a monumental step amidst deep racial tensions and segregation in South Carolina. The Gas Bottom program gave students an opportunity every afternoon to enjoy recreational activities with the neighborhood children. In 1967, Happy Saturday originated through the work of Henry Freeman and Tom LeClair. They would meet several children at a designated telephone pole on Saturdays and join in recreational activities. Henry used fifty dollars, which he received from Wofford, to buy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the children. Happy Saturday initiated service for many students but unfortunately the program died away after Henry graduated. Throughout the 1950's and 1960s, students remained active in racial and anti-war sentiments and issues of the times. Students' expression often showed itself in service and community involvement.
In 1982, Dr. Larry McGehee, Vice President of the college, worked with the Kettering Foundation which emphasized the need for people of all ages to take moral responsibility for their lives. Through his work, he led discussions with college presidents and at the American Council on Education convention centered on civic engagement. The discussions led to the establishment of formal and organizational volunteer service work at many higher education institutions and at Wofford College.
Wofford's Volunteer Services moved first to Campus Ministry under the leadership of Dr. Talmage Skinner, Campus Chaplain. Twin Towers Service organization, formed in 1989, encompassed the entire Wofford community as its actual Twin Towers of Main Building stand high above the college and serve as the collegiate symbol for all who pass beneath their shadow. Upon President Lesesne's direction, Twin Towers then moved to the Student Affairs department under the leadership of Mark Line, Associate Dean of Students and Director of Volunteer Services. Currently a cabinet of 10-15 students now leads this organization with two student directors and the guidance of Lyn Pace, Director of Volunteer Services and Associate Chaplain.
Student leadership has been elemental to Twin Towers since it's beginning. The first student director was Max O. Smith and from the beginning he worked tirelessly to develop innovative service work for Twin Towers. Student Charlotte Holden started Wofford's annual Halloween Carnival held in the Andrew's Field House on Wofford's campus. The carnival was originally formed for the children at the Bethlehem Community Center, but it quickly expanded to the entire Spartanburg community. Each Halloween Carnival brings a host of children from community agencies for an evening of carnival events designed by student groups and trick-or-treating through Greene dormitory. The women of Greene hall decorate the halls for their community guests. Since it's founding, Twin Towers has continued to grow and flourish among all members of the Wofford community. Its programs reach all avenues of student interest and community need.
The Bonner Scholars Program began at Wofford during the 1991-1992 school year. Wofford College's Bonner Scholars Program is one of 27 collegiate service scholarship programs supported annually by the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation in Princeton, NJ. Wofford's 80 Bonner Scholars serve 280 hours during the school year and 280 hours during the summer in local and national service agencies. Students engage in a range of service issues and focus areas including literacy and education, children and mentoring, senior services, hunger and homelessness, medical service, and environmental action. Students' service directly relates to their interest.
Wofford's Bonner Program began with twenty-five first year students interested in combining their collegiate experience with their passion for community service. Chaplain Talmage Skinner and Charlotte Holden, a student at the time, assisted the scholars in doing service at Z.L. Madden Elementary School and at the Bethlehem Community Center. Throughout the Bonner Program's growth and development, the leadership transitioned. The program expanded from twenty-five Bonner Scholars to a current total of sixty Bonner Scholars.
The Wofford College Americorps Bonner Leaders Program started in 1998 with an entering class of three people. Wofford's Americorps Bonner Leaders program is open to all Wofford students. Members participate in service leadership and community action in a variety of service sites and issues. Americorps members are part of the National Corporation for Service Americorps initiatives and the national service movement. They serve a total of 900 hours over a two-year period. Upon completion, they receive $2362.50 loan reduction. The Americorps Bonner Leaders is an initiative available to Bonner students and collegiate students interested in taking volunteer service to another level.
Bonner Director, Michelle Sattler, was instrumental in beginning the Americorps initiative at Wofford. Through informational meetings and her work with three particular Bonner Scholars, she initiated the Americorps Bonner Leaders Program at Wofford. Wofford students Bindi Ghandi, Jon Williams, and Lyn Pace were the pilot members of the program. Each student was interested in working with children at the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Spartanburg Smart Center at Arcadia Elementary School. Langley Moore was also instrumental in leading the Americorps Bonner Leaders Program. She began as Assistant to the Bonner Scholars Program and Americorps Bonner Leaders Program Coordinator from the summer of 1998 to the summer of 1999.
During the summer of 1999, the role of Americorps Bonner Leaders Coordinator and Bonner Director was consolidated into one position under the leadership of Hunter Phillips. The Americorps Bonner Leaders Program transitioned from group only service initiatives to individual programs. Students had the option of creating their own program or supporting an existing initiative in the community. Programs for teenage pregnancy prevention, reading and literacy, mentoring, and anti-violence sprang forth from Americorps and Bonner programmatic initiatives. Though not all of the service initiatives survived the test of time, all proved the sustainability and power of student initiative and vision.
In 1999, Terrier Play Day community carnival was created in honor of President Joab Lesesne's retirement after 28 years of service to the Wofford and Spartanburg communities. Today, Terrier Play Day continues to honor and celebrate Wofford College's commitment to the Spartanburg community and President Dunlap's continued commitment to service both inside and outside the boundaries of Wofford College. Terrier Play Day unites students, faculty, staff, and administration with children from local service agencies where Wofford students regularly volunteer for a day of carnival fun on the main lawn in front of Old Main. Student organizations design and sponsor booths ranging from moon bounces, a dunk tank, and large slides to face painting and cookie design.
The Wofford Service Roundtable was formed in the fall of 2000 to unite all service initiatives on campus around a common forum for discussion, evaluation, planning, and implementation. The forum also brings a commonality in goals for all parts of the Wofford service network.
In the spring of 2001, Wofford College joined a consortium of Bonner Scholars and Americorps Bonner Leaders schools to initiate a Micah 6 project on campus. Micah 6: to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God, is sponsored through the National Council of Churches and engages students with local congregations in service and spiritual study and reflection. In the Fall of 2001, fifteen students will engage in service at Gravely Memorial United Methodist Church's after school program and reflect upon social justice issues of illiteracy, single parenthood, and English as a Second Language education in the context of Biblical study and discussion.
Wofford's service programs continue to shape its culture. Whether in word or spirit, service to another remains a vital part of the Wofford's community and all who pass beneath its Twin Towers. Since the organization of volunteer service and the creation of service scholarship programs like the Bonner Scholars program, organized service has flourished and increased Wofford students' many opportunities. This brief history does not fully do justice to the many facets of service both inside and outside the Wofford community. Wofford's service history is ever forming and changing and will forever remain etched on the memories of those who serve it.

"This is a big weekend," Bisons' coach Charles Morrow said."The players are well aware of what is ahead.
"The guys are so focused on playing. We could have a circus next to the field and it wouldn't distract them at all."
Prior to the start of the game the Bisons will honor four seniors _ forward Miguel DaSilva, midfielder/defender Garrett McLaughlin, defender Chase Nieri and midfielder Angel Chairez.
"These players have broken records," Morrow said. "They have won more games than any senior group we have ever had. They are a huge part of our improvement over the last three years."
The game, which starts at 7 at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex, is also part of the Coaches vs. Cancer initiative which includes five games throughout the conference on Thursday and Friday.
Players will be wearing pink armbands and tape and coaches will be wearing pink polo shirts on the sidelines.
Dick's Sporting Goods is a sponsor for the program. This is the first time all 10 A-Sun team have worked together for one cause.
Cancer survivors, and those dealing with the disease, are extended a special invitation to attend. There will be a ceremony during halftime to honor those present and to remember those who have lost the struggle.
Morrow praised assistant coach Kevin Burk for his work in organizing the event, not only for the Bisons, but across the Atlantic Sun Conference.
"Kevin has done an outstanding job of putting this thing together and making sure it got done," Morrow said. "We have talked about doing something conference-wide for years."
The Bisons, 7-6-0, 3-2-0 in the A-Sun, have won their last three matches and are fourth in the conference standings. Upstate is 1-9-3, 0-6-0 in the conference.
Morrow doesn't see any signs of overconfidence among his players as they approach the last four games of the regular season.
"They understand the things that have brought them some success," Morrow said. "They are still grounded. Their heads have not gotten too big."
Garret Pettis is leading a balanced scoring attack for the Bisons with six goals. He also leads the team in points (14), shots (33) and shots on goal (13). DaSilva and McLaughlin have scored five goals each.
"We are playing very well," Morrow said. "Training has been unbelievable."
The Bisons beat Belmont 6-2 Oct. 14. Morrow gave his players three days off to relax after the "Battle of the Boulevard" win.
"That's a little unheard of to take that many days off in the middle of the season," Morrow said. "But it has been such a huge benefit so far. The guys feel good about where we are.
"Monday wasn't great, but Tuesday was very, very good as far as the intensity and quality. From a quality standpoint it was one of the best practices, if not the best, we had had all year."
The Bisons jumped 17 spots in one week in the NCAA RPI rating from 93rd to 76, one of the biggest jumps nationally.
"RPIs are tied with what we are doing as a team, but are also tied to the teams we have played," Morrow said. "SMU is second and Tulsa is up there in the RPI as well. That certainly doesn't hurt.
"We have had some big wins on the road. Anytime you win on the road it helps as well."
Morrow stresses that the A-Sun overall is doing well in the RPI with six teams in the top 100. Increasing the number of teams that are rated high will help the conference gain an additional NCAA invitation.
"We look at is as coaches and are certainly happy with our progress," Morrow said. "There are a couple of what ifs. We let the Florida Gulf Coast game get away from us and that would have been a huge win to give us an RPI bump.
"Coaches look at it and think about it. But I know our players have no idea where we are at RPI-wise. They don't look at it. They are focusing on Upstate."

What are you eating today? The American Heart Association encourages workplaces throughout the United States to celebrate Eating Healthy Day today, Wednesday, Nov. 7.
At Upstate, that means heart healthy options on the cafeteria menu: seasoned roast pork with spinach and pine nuts, oven-spiced tilapia, curried rice medley with barley, garlic mashed potatoes, roasted beets and steamed baby dill carrots.
There is also some friendly competition among departments and student groups at Upstate to submit photos and stories showing how they "went healthy" on Nov. 7. Entries will go to the Syracuse chapter of the American Heart Association, which will hold a random drawing for a lunch from Subway for up to 50 people.
Upstate has gold-level status among the American Heart Association's "Fit Friendly" workplaces in Central New York. It is the only hospital to make the list. Two Upstate committees support national Eating Healthy Day: the Pathway to Wellness and Team Upstate.

There are several examples of slave cabins. This one is actually two one-room cabins divided by a wall that includes a double fireplace.
Here is the view of the "Oak Alley" with your back to the big house. You can see that the path ends at a small green hill:
A walk to the end of the path reveals this view of a river levee. The people standing on it give you an idea of its height...which isn't much.
When you're on top of the levee, you see it is all that stands between the residents of Vacherie and the Mississippi River. Kind of scary when you think about it.
...but when you turn your back to the levee and back toward Oak Alley this is the incredible view.
There were tours of the Big House, but we didn't partake. Our teenager was being a teenager and the high winds weren't helping the situation. Still, I'm glad we made this visit.
All we can do is expose our kids to history and hope these experiences stick in their brains. They may not act interested at the time, but I have faith that they will draw on these memories when it matters down the road.

Jack Simpson's guest column in the Oct. 1 edition of The Lancaster News attacking John Spratt is a model of wild assertions and misguided perceptions.
He claims Spratt voted for "federal control over almost every facet of our lives." What bill was that in?
The failed incomprehensible bailouts he mentioned must be the complex federal support that stopped the collapse of our free market financial system, most of the funds for which have been paid back at a profit to the taxpayer.

The ACC basketball tournament's much-anticipated landing in New York will become official Wednesday when the league stages a news conference at the Barclays Center to announce a two-year contract with the arena for 2017 and '18, sources say.
Home to the NBA's Brooklyn Nets, Barclays has hosted the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament each of the last two seasons. That arrangement was scheduled through 2017, and in exchange for the A-10 exiting a year early, the ACC has agreed to regular-season games between the leagues, also at Barclays.
Commissioner John Swofford, who championed the ACC's signature championship in New York, will lead the conference's delegation Wednesday. Neither Swofford nor Bernadette McGlade, commissioner of the Newport News-based A-10, could be reached this weekend.
The Daily Press and Sports Illustrated reported last week that the ACC-Barclays deal was imminent, and during an interview last Saturday prior to the ACC tournament semifinals in Greensboro, N.C., Swofford told me, "We don't have anything confirmed and therefore ready to be announced. Frankly, our intention was to focus on Greensboro and this tournament these three days rather than be looking and talking about what's three, four or five years down the road.
"As I've said numerous times, our league's interested in New York as a potential site."
That interest is rooted in the ACC's expanded footprint, which now includes Syracuse, Boston College, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and Louisville, all former Big East members accustomed to league tournaments at New York's Madison Square Garden.
ACC coaches and many athletic directors prefer the Garden's history and Manhattan address to Barclays. But the Big East remains contracted with MSG, and with the ACC eager to play in New York as soon as possible, Barclays in Brooklyn was the only option.
Dueling New York tournaments will create interesting competition (tension?) between the ACC and Big East. Come July 1, when Louisville officially replaces Maryland, seven of the ACC's 15 schools will have come from the Big East.
Television ratings for last week's ACC championship game between Virginia and Duke were up 38 percent from 2013, according to Sports Media Watch while the Big East's plunged 76 percent, a function of its new membership and, mostly, its shift from ESPN to Fox Sports 1.
The Big Ten, which in July will welcome Rutgers, also is interested in taking its basketball tournament to New York.
The ACC tournament is set for Greensboro, its traditional home, next season and Washington, D.C., in 2016. New York will be its first venue north of D.C., and the 2016-18 stretch will mark the first time the event has been played outside North Carolina in consecutive years.
Opened in 2012, Barclays has made an aggressive play for college basketball, regular season and league tournaments. This season, the ACC's Virginia Tech, Pitt, Boston College and Maryland played there. Duke will play at Barclays in November in the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament along with Stanford, Temple and Nevada-Las Vegas.
The ACC tournament at Barclays almost certainly will draw better than the A-10's has. Attendance for last Sunday's championship game between VCU and Saint Joseph's was 8,886, less than half the building's normal capacity.

Sept. 19, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Five second-half goals helped propel MIT to a 7-1 victory over Nichols College in non-conference field hockey action on Tuesday night. Hee Jay Kang led all scorers with three goals while Anna Ayuso totaled four points on a goal and two assists.
The Engineers (3-3) opened the scoring 13:33 into the contest when Sharon Prange directed a deflection from the Bison's netminder to Kang for the goal. Whitney Shillieto tallied the equalizer for Nichols (2-4) 6:30 later on Stephanie Magni's pass during a scramble following a penalty corner. Tech regained the lead in the 30th minute as Ayuso redirected a feed from Nirupama Yeechoor for the game-winner. Although MIT held a 12-2 advantage in shots, it entered the intermission with a slim 2-1 edge.
The Engineers maintained their offensive pressure in the next frame as they eventually tied an Institute record for goals scored in the second half. Kang sparked a four-goal scoring spree during the first 15 minutes after connecting on a pass from Yeechoor. Prange notched her first goal of the season when she fired a shot from the top of the circle that went untouched into the cage. In a span of 2:30, Ayuso recorded back-to-back assists on goals by Ekavali Mishra and Kang. Cristina Stefanescu capped the scoring with less than two minutes remaining on a blast from the top right side of the arc that dropped inside the far post.
In net, Alexa Herman made three stops for the Engineers as Mary Kate Bednarz collected 10 saves for the Bison.
Both squads will continue non-conference play on the road on Thursday, Sept. 21 with MIT traveling to UMass-Dartmouth and Nichols making the trip to WPI.

I just saw this one at MAL and it looks like this is going to have an adaptation this coming July which means a summer anime. MAL is pretty reliable with their sources so I hope they aren't trolling on this one.
Oh yeah I was right. It was said in ANN that it's going to have an anime.

So this is also getting an anime in July... along with Dog Days second season, July is going to be an awesome month! If only it would get here faster...
Maybe the anime will inspire the LN to be translated? That seems like it was the case when it comes to DxD, and again, this sounds so badass that I really want to read it (hell, I'd even take a stab at attempting to translate it... I just gotta hunt down the RAW)

Oh true. 26 episodes is good number. Volume 1 is basically introduction so it doesn't need more than 4 episodes. Volume 2 and 3 could be 8 episodes. But volume 4 and 5 definitely would need 12 episodes or more.
Though Im pretty sure everyone will be confused when they read volume 4 and 5 because.....
Spoiler for volume 4 and 5:
So there were quite lots of change in the plot initially told and later told.
The handicap match in volume 4 will be awesome lol.
I just can't see this being only 12 episdoes because like I said before, 12 episodes will give it a weak ending.
Seriously, volume 8 ended in a cliff hanger again. And Onizuka became one of my favorite character in the series even though he was a bit "off" in volume 1.

will someone please translate this novel, please......
I think that this novel is better than DxD in my personal opinion. The reason i think that is because
1.unlike the MC in DxD the MC in this novel actually have some balls, issei likes girls and say that he wants to become a harem king but come on he doesn't even dare lay a finger on then, the MC actually do what he wants and when he wants
2.I like MC who are strong from the very beginning, those typical MC that appears in shounen mangas are just boring; weak at first and then gets strong and then a stronger opponent appears, MC beats the opponent and another stronger opponent appears and the cycle continues until it gets so boring like in DxD
3.this MC is cool while the DxD MC is well just shounen style average

Onsted outlasts Ida in triple overtime
Connor Vandecaveye fired in 24 points and grabbed seven rebounds to power the Blissfield High School boys basketball team Tuesday to a 69-36 win over Hudson to open Lenawee County Athletic Association play.
The Royals were connecting from long range to further add to Hudson's defensive woes, hitting eight 3-pointers on the night, with five different players finding the mark from beyond the arc.
Blissfield (2-1) took a 39-21 lead at halftime and then turned up the defense even more in the second half, holding the Tigers to single-digit scoring in both the third and fourth quarters.
"We played pretty well tonight, and we will have a tough one on Thursday with Dundee at our place," Blissfield coach John Vandecaveye said. "We keep improving slightly as a team with each game, and that has to continue right on through the LCAA schedule."
Jake Kopka added 12 points and four assists for Blissfield.
Cody Nelson's 10 points paced Hudson.
Onsted 64, Ida 60 (3OT): At Ida, a wild game culminated when Austin Davis hit the second of two foul shots in regulation, setting the stage for three hotly-contested overtime periods, with the Wildcats pulling out an LCAA-opening victory. The Wildcats improve to 2-1 overall.
Onsted led by as many as 10 points in the second half, but some sharp-shooting by the Bluestreaks helped get them back in the game, and the two teams went back-and-forth in the fourth quarter and all three overtimes. Toward the end of regulation, Ida took a one-point lead with 2.5 seconds left on a free throw, but Onsted set up a final play and Brian Frieberger threw a pass to Davis, who was fouled and missed his first foul shot but made the tying second free throw.
In the third overtime, both Frieberger and Brett Anderson came up with key steals to stop Ida scoring chances.
Ida hit nine 3-pointers and also connected on 21-of-31 free throws, while Onsted struggled at the line, going 9-for-21.
Davis finished with 17 points, 17 rebounds and six blocked shots for Onsted, while Zach Wertz added 15 points and Frieberger 12 to go with seven rebounds. Devin Louden pulled down nine rebounds to complement his eight blocked shots.
Britton Deerfield 44, Clinton 41: At Clinton, the Patriots pulled away late, and Clinton's 3-point attempt to tie the score at the buzzer missed in Tuesday's Tri-County Conference opener.
Clinton (0-2, 0-1 TCC) took a three-point lead in the final minutes, before BD regained the advantage and kept the Redskins at bay with made free throws. Clinton misfired on a heavily-contested 3 as time ran out.
Tristan Pizana led BD with 11 points and three steals. Devin Gruber contributed eight points and eight rebounds. Sam Iott added seven points and five assists.
Ryon Luzier had a double-double for Clinton with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Reid Clark scored 11 points, and Jared Sackett added eight rebounds and four assists.
Morenci 60, Sand Creek 38: At Morenci, the Bulldogs were hot from beyond the arc in Tuesday's TCC opener. Morenci made eight 3s on 11 attempts en route to the win.
Morenci (2-0, 1-0 TCC) outscored Sand Creek 20-2 in the second quarter, during which the Bulldogs connected on four of their triples. They displayed strong ball movement to find open shots, according to coach Jim Bauer.
Austin Sandusky led Morenci with 12 points. Alex Thomas and Daiton Lemmon each scored 10. Hunter Borton added three assists and Shawn Feltz five rebounds.
Griffin Wollett led Sand Creek with eight points. Nick Cleveland added six.
Madison 53, Whitmore Lake 27: At Whitmore Lake, Madison shined on defense in its TCC opener, holding Whitmore Lake to three points in the first quarter and 10 combined in the second half.
Madison (1-1, 1-0 TCC) jumped ahead 35-17 at halftime and cruised to the win.
Leading for the Trojans was Collin Slates who netted 18 points and Prince Benson who recorded 11.
Ann Arbor Skyline 52, Tecumseh 25: At Tecumseh, the host Indians couldn't connect from longer range and eventually lost the Southeastern Conference game against the Eagles. Tecumseh trailed just 8-4 after the opening quarter after executing well, but jump shots were not falling from that point after and the Indians fell behind 23-9 at halftime.
Compounding Tecumseh's woes was not getting to the foul line but five times in the game, compared to 15 for the Eagles.
The Indians (0-3, 0-1 SEC) were led by Noah Willett's 11 points.
-- Tecumseh JV: The Indians lost the junior varsity game 48-39. Tom Mammel led Tecumseh with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Parma Eldalamberon 18
|Parma Eldalamberon, issue 18
|Christopher Gilson, Arden R. Smith, Patrick H. Wynne
|Mythopoeic Society
|Novemer 23, 2009
Parma Eldalamberon 18: Tengwesta Qenderinwa and Pre-Fëanorian Alphabets Part 2 by J.R.R. Tolkien is an issue of the journal Parma Eldalamberon.
- Cover art: Adam Victor Christensen
From the publisher
Parma Eldalamberon 'The Book of Elven-tongues' is a journal of the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship, a special interest group of the Mythopoeic Society. The current issue presents previously unpublished writings by J. R. R. Tolkien concerning his Elvish languages and early versions of his invented scripts. These have been edited and annotated by Christopher Gilson, Arden R. Smith and Patrick H. Wynne, under the guidance of Christopher Tolkien and with the permission of the Tolkien Estate.
The Tengwesta Qenderinwa is a grammar of the Primitive Quendian language, which Tolkien imagined to be the common ancestor of the various Elven-tongues spoken in Middle-earth, such as Quenya, Noldorin, Lemberin and Pereldarin (the last two later called Sindarin and Nandorin). The earliest version of the Tengwesta Qenderinwa was composed in the late 1930s around the same time as the Etymologies, which is a collection of Primitive Quendian bases with examples of Elvish words derived from them. The Tengwesta Qenderinwa describes the grammatical rules for the structure of these bases and the derivation of primitive stems and words from them. The grammar gives an "Account of the Simple Component Sounds"; and has sections on "Base-structure"; "Combination of Sounds in Word-formation"; "Suffixion"; and "Accentuation." There is also an introductory section on the "Descent of Tongues" that outlines the historical divisions of the various Elven-kindreds and the languages they spoke, all descended from Primitive Quendian.
Tolkien revised the Tengwesta Qenderinwa extensively in the early 1950s after completing the composition of The Lord of the Rings, incorporating new conceptions of the linguistic history which had emerged by then or those that arose during revisions to the Quenta Silmarillion and associated writings in Tolkien's legendarium. The earliest and latest versions of the Tengwesta Qenderinwa are presented in this issue of Parma Eldalamberon, along with an editorial analysis of the stages of revision that the text underwent between the 1930s and 1950s, and notes on the relation of the linguistic data in the text to that found in the Etymologies.
The Pre-Fëanorian Alphabets is an edition of Tolkien's charts and notes from about 1924 to 1929 dealing with the scripts that conceptually precede the Fëanorian Tengwar that would eventually be included in The Lord of the Rings. This issue of Parma Eldalamberon contains "Pre-Fëanorian Alphabets, Part II," with the alphabets called Qenyatic, Andyoqenya and Angloquenya, in modes which were designed for writing English. Tolkien's examples of the scripts are reproduced in fascimile. These include charts of the sounds represented by the letters, and various English words and texts written in the scripts. Transcriptions of the examples and editorial commentary on the dating and historical background are provided.

Faculty Development Opportunities
Travel To Read/Travel To Represent Departmental Travel Policies
Skidmore College's support for professional travel is an invaluable component of its commitment to faculty development and one of which faculty should take advantage. Its resources are limited, however, and require responsible action by all of us. Reimbursement for travel to speak at another college or university should normally be provided by the host institution, just as Skidmore usually covers expenses of those who come here. The Office of the Dean of the Faculty will, of course, be attentive to rationales provided by applicants for aid.
Increased faculty requests (sometimes multiple requests) for support and the rising costs of travel and registration have placed heavy demands on the budgets for these programs. They require that we live within our means so that we can promote equity, control costs, and administer these funds efficiently, and insure funding for other kinds of faculty development programs. In addition, the College has instituted general guidelines for travel expenses. All faculty should review the Skidmore College Travel Policy for important details.
The Dean's office oversees both the Travel to Read and the Travel to Represent funds. In addition to these funding sources, departments are budgeted $500 per full-time faculty member in the Travel line of their own budgets, overseen by the chair. Full-time faculty members, whether on campus or on sabbatical leave, may receive reimbursements from the Travel to Read or the Travel to Represent program up to a total of $1,500, as well as from the departmental Travel line as approved by the Chair. Part-time faculty are eligible for proportional assistance if funds are available. On limited occasions, and at their discretion, chairs may authorize for department members' reimbursement from the departmental Travel budget for professional support other than travel.
Temporary faculty serving as sabbatical replacements are not budgeted for departmental Travel funds, but they may seek support from the Dean's Travel to Read or Represent programs. Chairs are eligible for departmental travel funds up to $500; they may, when appropriate, apply for supplementary ad hoc funds.
It is essential to secure timely authorization from the Office of the Dean of the Faculty before making commitments to be reimbursed from Travel to Read and Travel to Represent programs. Faculty need also to allow ample time for processing requests for advances. Requests can be made by completing and submitting the travel request form.
Faculty should observe the College's current travel policies.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc., the second-largest maker of personal-computer processors, rose to the highest level in six weeks as some investors bet that its largest shareholder could help avert a cash shortfall.
The stock advanced 7.3 percent to $2.36 at the close in New York, the highest since Oct. 18. Shares of the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company have lost 56 percent this year.
Mubadala Development Co. extended its stake in AMD (NYSE: AMD) to about 19 percent including warrants and took an extra board seat last month, making it more likely that the investment arm of the government of Abu Dhabi would bail out the company if cash reserves dipped too low, said Cody Acree, an analyst at Williams Financial Group.
"If you have a lender of last resort like that, what's the potential of you not having options?" Acree said.
Mubadala became the largest shareholder of AMD in a transaction announced in 2008 under which the investment company bought the chip-maker's manufacturing facilities to create a made-to-order semiconductor producer called Globalfoundries. AMD is one of that company's largest customers.
AMD's share gains have been exaggerated as some investors were forced to buy the shares to cover short positions, Acree said. That and the recent stock slump has made the shares volatile, said Ambrish Srivastava, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets.
'Tough road'
"When stocks get to those levels it doesn't take that much to show you those moves," he said. "Fundamentally, they have a tough road ahead. They still have to win credibility back."
In October, AMD gave a forecast for fourth-quarter sales that fell short of analysts' estimates and said it will cut 15 percent of its staff, citing weak demand across all product lines in a challenging economic environment.
The revenue projection put the company on course for its fourth consecutive quarterly sales decline. That led analysts such as Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.'s Stacy Rasgon to predict that, if the trend continues, cash reserves may fall short of what AMD says it requires.
Separately, AMD last week said it is in talks to sell its campus in Austin, Texas, to boost cash reserves.
The company seeks to raise $150 million to $200 million in a transaction that may close in the first quarter, said Drew Prairie, a spokesman. Once the chip-maker sells the site, which houses corporate offices, it will lease the space back over multiple years.
Mubadala currently holds about a 15 percent stake in AMD, with unexercised warrants for additional stock purchases bringing its total holdings to about 19 percent, Prairie said.

Ol' Myrt here has been grasping for a better way to describe how I wish genealogy seminars and presentations would change. This article from Edutopia.org has the answer.
How Collaborative Learning Leads to Student Success, while focusing on college students, stimulates thought on restructuring our genealogy seminars, conferences and workshops.
Back in May 2011, Ol' Myrt here wrote 90 Minute Institute and Conference Sessions, citing an article by Dr. David Rock Rethinking how we 'conference' How to design a conference with the brain in mind. My comments then still hold true:
"Dr. Rock feels that the current paradigm of conference attendees sitting through a 60 minute lecture, followed by a quick break is counter-productive to the learning process. I've attended conferences, where by the end of the day my brain was mush, so I could relate to Dr. Rock's comments."
Unfortunately our conference schedules have remained the same, and for the most part our teaching methods continue to lack understanding of best learning processes for our exhausted attendees.
The Genealogical Proof Standard does well to guide genealogy researchers in their individual pursuits, but collaboration isn't specifically mentioned. The implication is that we compose soundly reasoned, coherently written conclusions for those who wish to "check out" our research.
What about collaboration with other researchers to test out our reasoning earlier in the process?
Where is there time for active collaboration? Certainly not at a typical genealogy society meeting, fraught with all-too-long business meetings, leaving little time for the featured speaker to rush through his slides.
Saturday workshops may provide hands-on experimentation, and a little more give and take, but typically presenters don't provide enough time for the give and take. I've heard some folks like Randy Seaver and my cousin Russ Worthington do give what I'd call "real" workshops. The Pro-Gen Study Groups work well in this regard where:
- discussion is more important than lecturing
- real time research provides insights a PowerPoint slide cannot impart
Conferences with vendor halls provide opportunities for vendors to demo their websites and software, but the bottom line is not to be ignored. Vendors have to sell product, and that takes all too much time unless they bring along extra employees to ring up your bill.
Institutes such as IGHR, SLIG and the new GRIP approach this form of collaborative learning, particularly when there are small group "homework" (read that late night!) assignments. The focus is developing research methods, not one's own research challenges.
If you attend any of Ol' Myrt's webinars, Second Life chats or all-day seminars, don't expect to take it sitting down - its all about collaborative learning. Feedback. Active participation. I want discussion. I want differing points of view. I want additional suggestions. I'd rather "discuss" five concepts well than squeeze 10 into a 60 minute "lecture".
NOTE: next Tuesday's Just Genealogy Second Life discussion on "Proof Arguments" has a prep assignment -- 2 related articles by noted genealogists. But the real learning will happen when we discuss how we each tackle the problem of composing proof arguments and not just relying on "fill in the blank" genealogy programs.
You can bet we will retain more info if we actively participate in a collaborative learning environment.

Hi everyone...
On the main page there is a side bar on the left entitled "Your Account". I think it would be nice if it displayed each member's last post info. Info such as when the post was made, and of course which post it was (with a link titled "Last post", leading to this post). This is just the same info that is displayed in each user's profile.
This last post info could perhaps be displayed under the "Total Posts Made" info.
Not an earth shattering idea, but i just thought it might prove to be useful to members who would like to have access to their last post info, without having to access their profile each and every time.
