Anthropology is a contemporary social science that bridges both the
natural sciences and humanities to examine human diversity in
the past and present and the profoundly different ways in which social
groups interpret and inhabit an increasingly complex world.
Our program
is characterized by an emphasis on fieldwork, built into the
department's methods courses, and is encouraged in student work abroad.
We cover anthropology's subfields of cultural anthropology, biological
anthropology and archaeology, each characterized by unique approaches,
yet all oriented toward understanding and informing contemporary debates
about the diversity of human experience in a wide range of societies.
Anthropology at Dickinson teaches students the process of doing
anthropological research through fieldwork and laboratory research.
Ethnographic fieldwork—observing and interacting intimately with
people in a social setting over an extended period of time—is one of
anthropology's distinctive contributions to the human sciences. In
coursework and our department's ethnographic field schools, students
familiarize themselves with fieldwork by conducting local and
international projects that they may later develop into senior thesis
In addition to fieldwork experiences, the anthropology department at Dickinson has a state-of-the-art laboratory where students
engage in experiential learning about human evolution, osteology and
biological diversity. The lab is also a facility where students can
develop their use of qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of Dickinson's many
study-abroad programs, where they can practice their fieldwork skills
for senior papers and presentation at conferences.
Anthropology at Dickinson emphasizes the use of knowledge for active
participation in the world. Students leave the anthropology program
fully prepared for graduate school, for public and nonprofit sector
work and for any form of business or professional work that requires
critical-thinking skills and understanding of cultural differences.
Whatever they do in life, students of anthropology will have gained a
firm foundation to stand on as they navigate their way through our own
society as well as the global society.

Former Leola Police Chief Admits Embezzling
LEOLA, S.D. (AP) - The former police chief in Leola has admitted embezzling more than $37,000 from the fire department in the northeastern South Dakota town.
The American News reports that 43-year-old John Grabowska pleaded guilty to two counts of grand theft by embezzlement and faces up to 20 years in prison when he's sentenced in January.
Grabowska also has violated terms of his probation for a separate grand theft conviction earlier this year. Authorities say Grabowska kept about $3,200 in money seized from a drug suspect.
Grabowska took the fire department money between 2006 and 2012 while he handled the department's finances.

In a breathtakingly broad decision, a federal appeals court has ruled that President Obama violated the Constitution when he unilaterally appointed three members of the National Labor Relations Board during a "pro forma" session of the Senate. If upheld by the Supreme Court, the decision would all but end so-called recess appointments, by which presidents of both parties have bypassed the Senate — often because of unjustified obstruction by a determined minority.
The Constitution says that important appointments by the president require the "advice and consent" of the Senate. But in recognition of the difficulty of travel in the 18th century, it also gives the president the power to "fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate." By the middle of the 20th century, the practical justification for recess appointments had been eclipsed by advances in transportation and the emergence of a virtually year-round Congress. But presidents continued to make them, even during relatively brief periods of Senate inactivity. In 2005, for example, President George W. Bush outraged Democrats when he took advantage of a recess to appoint John R. Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations.
Republicans were similarly exercised in January 2012 when Obama invoked his recess appointment authority to install the three NLRB members, two of whom had been only recently nominated. (Obama acted when he did to ensure that the NLRB had a quota necessary to conduct agency business.) The legality of the appointments was challenged by a Washington state business that received an adverse ruling from the labor board.
In ruling on that lawsuit, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was expected to focus on the fact that Obama made the appointments at a time when the Senate was holding pro forma sessions at which no business was transacted. Instead, the court reached beyond that issue to lay down a sweeping rule that presidents may make recess appointments only in the break between formal sessions of Congress, a hiatus that now occurs only once a year (and sometimes not at all).
Reining in the president's ability to make recess appointments wouldn't be a problem if the confirmation process worked the way the framers intended. But in Washington's current partisan gridlock, a minority of senators can — and too often do — deny a president a timely up-or-down vote on his nominations, a distortion of the advice-and-consent process. However solidly grounded in the Constitution, the appeals court's decision addresses overreaching at only one end of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Medicare won't cover all of your health-care costs during retirement, so you may want to buy a supplemental medical insurance policy known as Medigap. Offered by private insurance companies, Medigap policies are designed to cover costs not paid by Medicare, helping you fill the gaps in your Medicare coverage.
The best time to buy a Medigap policy is during open enrollment, when you can't be turned down or charged more because you are in poor health. If you are age 65 or older, your open enrollment period starts when you first enroll in Medicare Part B. If you are not yet 65, your open enrollment period starts when you turn 65 and then lasts for six months. A few states also require that a limited open enrollment period be offered to Medicare beneficiaries under age 65.
If you don't buy a Medigap policy during open enrollment, you may not be able to buy the policy that you want later. You may find yourself having to settle for whatever type of policy an insurance company is willing to sell you. That is because insurers have greater freedom to deny applications or charge higher premiums for health reasons once open enrollment closes.
Under federal law, only 10 standardized plans can be offered as Medigap plans (except in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, which have their own standardized plans). The plans currently sold are Plans A-D, Plans F and G, and Plans K-N. Each Medigap plan offers a different set of benefits. All cover certain out-of-pocket costs, including Medicare coinsurance amounts. Some plans also cover other costs, such as all or part of Medicare Part A and Part B deductibles, foreign travel emergency costs, and Medicare Part B excess charges.
You can buy the Medigap plan that best suits your needs. But it's important to note that not all Medigap plans are available in every state.
Generally, yes. Although Medigap policies are sold through private insurance companies, they're standardized and regulated by state and federal law. A Plan B purchased through an insurance company in New York will offer the same coverage as a Plan B purchased through an insurance company in Texas. All you have to do is decide which plan that you want to buy.
However, even though the plans that insurance companies offer are identical, the quality of the companies that offer the plans may be different. Look closely at each company's reputation, financial strength, and customer service standards. And check out what you'll pay for Medigap coverage. Medigap premiums vary widely, both from company to company and from state to state. You can find a tool on the Medicare website (www.medicare.gov) that will help you compare Medigap policies offered in your area.
No. In fact, it's illegal for an insurance company to sell you a Medigap policy that substantially duplicates any existing coverage you have, including Medicare coverage. In general, you won't need a Medigap policy if you participate in a Medicare managed care plan or private fee-for-service plan, or if you qualify for Medicaid or have group coverage through your spouse.
You may also not need to buy a Medigap policy if you work past age 65 and have employer-sponsored health insurance. If you find yourself in this situation, you may want to enroll in Medicare Part A, since it's free. Remember that if you enroll in Medicare Part B, your open enrollment period for Medigap starts. If you don't buy a Medigap policy within six months, you may be denied coverage later or charged a higher premium, so you may want to wait to enroll in Medicare Part B until your employer coverage ends.
In addition, you may not need to buy a Medigap policy if you are covered by an employer-sponsored health plan after you retire (e.g., as part of a retirement severance package). In this case, your employer's plan may cover costs that Medicare doesn't. If you have any questions about your coverage, talk to your employer's benefits coordinator.

Young women need the example of virtuous and righteous women, Bonnie L. Oscarson, newly called Young Women general president for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said during Women's Conference at BYU on May 3.
In their first public speaking assignment since being called to serve as the Young Women general presidency, Sister Oscarson and her counselors Sister Carol F. McConkie and Neill F. Marriott, encouraged women to help the youth recognize the dangers surrounding them as they nurture their flames of testimony.
"I can't overemphasize enough the power of our examples as mothers and grandmothers and youth leaders in influencing the testimonies and belief of our young women," Sister Oscarson said. "We cannot expect them to dress modestly and attend their church meetings, to pray daily, study the scriptures and make wise choices if we are not doing those things ourselves. They need to see us modeling virtuous and righteous lives if we want them to develop the good habits that will increase their faith and belief. They need to see us making the temple a priority in our lives."
The presidency drew from the words President Thomas S. Monson shared during his talk in the 2012 General Young Women Broadcast, when he encouraged young women to 'believe, obey and endure.'
"Our prophet counseled our youth to look to the lighthouse of the Lord," Sister Oscarson said. "The Lord's lighthouse sends out signals that will guide our young women back to their heavenly home."
Sharing an experience she had as a young woman attending a camp sponsored by another Christian church, Sister Marriott said it was while she was there — singing a song &mash; that she first realized her belief in God.
"As we began to sing the words, something happened to me," she said. "It was during the third verse ... I couldn't sing, I was weeping, because of what had started in my heart — this warm feeling I had never felt before. ... I had never had that personal experience before, but a belief started to grow. A tiny, young, immature belief, but it was real. There was a God, and he knew me and loved me."
From that day on she decided to start a search for God through reading her scriptures and praying daily. Leaders and parents can help young women strengthen their beliefs as they set the example of developing good habits.
Sister McConkie said that individuals have the responsibility to grow their own testimony through study, prayer and church attendance.
"I think we want to help our young women understand that obedience is not restrictive, but that it brings blessings," Sister McConkie said. "Obedience does not restrict us or bind us down. Obedience expands our horizons and increases our capacity."
Sharing an example of when she was a young woman and her parents were going through a divorce, Sister McConkie said that it was the example of her Laurel teacher that taught her the joy of living the gospel and importance of obedience to the commandments.
"I remember clearly what I felt as my teacher taught lessons about eternal marriage, eternal families and temple preparedness," she said. "It seemed that every lesson inspired me and touched on these sacred topics."
Even though her experience at home was different than what was being taught, she knew the importance and blessings that come from being obedient to God's commandments.
"My personal struggles didn't go away, but I found peace and direction ... and my commitment to be obedient to the commandments came through the teaching and the testimony of a faithful woman ... at a critical time in my life."
To help young women understand what it means to endure, leaders can invite them to do difficult and challenging things that will bless their lives, the presidency taught. By participating in Personal Progress, reading the Book of Mormon and serving others, they are able to participate in activities that teach them to make a commitment to do something hard, to endure to the end and to receive the reward.
One way to help the youth believe, obey and endure is to focus on the temple, Sister Oscarson said.
"We live in a perilous world where our young people are being exposed to unrighteous and unholy things at younger and younger ages," she said. "We as mothers, aunts, grandmothers friends and leaders can have a tremendous impact on helping them navigate the treacherous shores. We can help our young women believe, obey and endure as our prophet has testified."

Launched six months ago in the UK, Sling Media's 'place-shifting' devices have shaken up the TV value chain to such an extent that broadcasters, ISPs and mobile operators are all seeking deals with the firm.
They use a disruptive technology that allows people to watch TV content remotely from PCs, laptops or mobiles.
We asked Stuart Collingwood, the company's VP of Europe, how mobile, web and IPTV developers can make sure they're not left out of the action.
What's the latest info on sales?
We've done very well. We don't publish figures specifically, but in the States we sold over 100,000 units in the first six months.
How about the
We've not published any figures for the UK but it's sold very well. We ran out of stock quite quickly, so we had to ship a whole load more in. It's all being sold through DSG at the moment.
When will you be looking to expand your sales network?
We will be expanding it in due course but not now. We have a good relationship with Dixons, and they're very pleased with sales – as are we. We just launched in Scandinavia with Viasat, the pay TV operator, and you will see more and more of those sorts of deals, as well as retail announcements.
What was your reaction when you first heard about the Slingbox, before you joined the firm? What did you think about how it would do and what impact it would have?
Interesting question. I thought it was a cool technology. Very cool. But I wanted to see how far the guys could take it.
It's very easy to launch just one product and rely on that product for ever. But when I met with them, they had tremendous ideas for vision and roadmap. In the US last week, we launched the next generation of products, the triplets as we call them, which take the core principle of what we do, tailor it to different markets and extend it to different devices.
Ultimately, we're thinking, in terms of applications, things that can be layered on top of the platform, and connectivity and integration with other devices, how do we make slinging part of people's everyday life?
What sort of a reception have you had from broadcasters and the advertising community – are they worried?
They are all very interested, not least because it is a new technology. It's about how they apply it and how it affects their risk profile.
It's the same thing as five years ago with time-shifting – the TiVo – which is now familiar to many people, although it is still in only 1.5m homes in Sky's case. This is a new technology, people haven't heard of it.
Part of our challenge as a business is to raise awareness, and for the operators it is how to integrate it into their offering.
Most of them are looking at several steps – getting the Slingbox as an adjunct to their platform, selling it as a device or including it as some sort of monthly rental. But the natural extension of that is to put the technology into the set-top box - many of which have broadband connections that aren't often used, so now it's a reason to use them.
They all have different views about how commercial it is and how to price it, and how to make sure the rights of their content holders are properly aligned, but they are all interested – and that includes the mobile guys.
How close are you to completing the discussions?
We're in discussions with most, if not all, of these companies in every country we have gone into.
Presumably, you'd tell content providers that there's no point bothering to develop services specifically for broadband, 3G or DVB-H if your platform ends up going mainstream?
Good question. It's a very current question that the operators are asking themselves.
There are various things to consider. You can't deny the economic model associated with DVB-H, but there's no spectrum.
Although that doesn't apply to all countries, at the end of the day, you are aggregating channels for consumers on that platform. I already have what I want at home – all those channels – so why would I want someone else to aggregate a smaller set of channels for me on my mobile?
Also, quite often, I want to access content I've recorded on a hard disk – I want to watch what I want to watch now, not what's on-air right now, and I can't do that on DVB-H. Mobile operators have spent EU0.5bn building DVB-H infrastructure in this country in the hope they get spectrum, but by then the economics of broadband and 3G distribution may well make DVB-H look expensive.
So the operators are seeing they can start now with us. Potentially there are capacity problems with 3G networks, but potentially this technology can build and build in terms of uptake and they will have time to learn how to deal with them.
They would have to invest a little in the infrastructure, but they are saying 'why should I build a DVB-H or DMB network when I can just use what I've got?'.
What about content providers? What opportunities are you offering to them, and what should they do to protect themselves?
Well, fundamentally, when they re-negotiate their rights agreements with the pay TV companies and broadband operators, they should provision for this so they get some upside.
Also, it reinforces the advertising model for many of the channels. When I'm travelling, or in the office, normally I don't get to see the adverts that are local to my area.
But if I was watching through my Slingbox, I would be seeing an advert for a Jeep promotion at my local dealership at the weekend and I could go and buy one. That would normally be lost on me. So it reinforces the advertising model, and if you were a Nielsen measured home, you would be metered. So there's lots of ways these guys can participate.
Wouldn't they see your users as a distinct audience – travelling businesspeople, for example?
Yes, absolutely. But at the moment we are just relaying the video. There is stuff that could be done in the future potentially to exploit those segments. Also, it's not just travelling businessmen – they are sports fans, people working from home, students.
Have you any plans to start serving your own ads, or interactivity?
As a business, we don't just rely on hardware sales. There are plenty of opportunities to add additional services on top of the platform, once it's launched.
What kind of services?
I don't really want to go into them right now but if you look at the world of community and social networking and all that kind of stuff, there are definitely things that could be developed around the Sling platform. Stuff that makes use of the subscriber base and gels with the content partners that we work with.
We'll also have long term agreements in place with the operators, so there will be a multi-faceted business.
How far off is that?
In terms of something being structured and managed by Sling, it's some time off. At the moment we're focused on selling the products.
Are UK broadband connections of good enough quality, and aren't you putting more pressure on them?
DSL quality is clearly far more variable than cable. We recommend 256Kbps as a minimum.
Telewest cable, which I have at home, is generally pretty bomb-proof. Do I always get 10MBps downstream? No. Do I care? No. I still get 4Mbps, 5Mbps or 6Mbps. The upstream, I can monitor and I can tell you I consistently get 364Kbps. DSL is much more peaky and bursty.
It's an interesting discussion we have with the broadband guys and they say 'Oh God, we have enough applications loading up the network in the evenings'. But peak usage for us is the middle of the day – people logging on at work. When people are at home, they don't use the broadband network – they use their wireless home network. You have to point out to them that people logging in remotely do it during the day, when the broadband networks aren't loaded.
What effect do you expect on the system for selling TV rights geographically?
I'm not a rights specialist, but it undeniably calls into question the traditional model – and not just rights for geographical areas but also by platform. If you look at the recent Premiership rights auction, they sold the TV rights to Sky and Setanta, and sold the mobile rights separately – oops.
How has the Slingbox affected users' viewing habits, generally?
Well, one thing is that people make use of their TV more when they have Sling because they have more chances to access it. But over 40% of the usage is in the home.
Some interesting data came out from Ofcom yesterday, which showed most Freeview boxes are now almost exclusively being bought for second or third rooms in the home. That shows people don't necessarily want the full Sky or cable packages for other bedrooms in the house, but also shows an appetite for content away from the living room.
What other devices are you looking at?
Wherever you can embed the silicon and the software. We're in laptops, PDAs, mobiles, we'll be in Macs by the end of the year and set-tops sometime next year. There's isn't much you can't fit it into.

Realistic Torches is a lightweight mod designed for modpack makers looking to add difficulty to the early game. The primary feature of this mod causes torches to burn out after a configurable amount of time, encouraging players to move toward more permanent light sources early on.
- Torches are now unlit when crafting, and must be lit using a matchbox in a crafting grid or flint and steel (not in the rain, though!) after being placed. As a result, the matchbox must be acquired before players can explore caves safely, prevent hostiles from spawning, etc.
- Torches will burn out after a specified amount of time (60 minutes real time by default, can be changed in the config) and become unlit. This encourages players to seek more permanent light sources early on, such as lava or glowstone.
- Permanently lit (vanilla) torches can be crafted using a glowstone crystal instead of coal.
- Certain items and blocks (torches, glowstone dust and blocks, lava buckets, etc.) will emit light when held. This feature is disabled by default due to possible performance issues but can be enabled in the config.
- Torch recipes added by other mods will be removed to ensure that the matchbox or flint and steel must be acquired to craft lit torches (can be disabled in the config).
Unlit Torch (Coal)
Unlit Torch (Charcoal)
Lit Torch (Shapeless, matchbox takes 1 damage per craft)
Glowstone Crystal (Coal)

Side Elevations. Architects distinguish side elevations by right and left side, determined as if you were facing the front of the house. Directional notations, such as "Right side elevation (north)" help minimize confusion when interpreting the drawings. Side elevations are useful for showing windows and other home features, and they also show the homes depth. The side view of the front and back porches helps homeowners and contractors visualize porch size in relation to the home. Roof pitch is also indicated in side elevations.
Home design ideas on this you can see the quality of work front elevation project is providing. you can choose front elevation pattern and style here for your elevation design and customize your elevation design as per your choice get best Indian house front elevation designs simple, modern and easy to executable house front elevation design.
House elevations are architectural drawings that show how a home will look from specific angles. Elevations are a key part of the way architects communicate their designs with clients and the contractors who will build the home. Like all architectural drawings, house elevations are drawn to scale, meaning that the length and thickness of each line directly corresponds with measurements of the finished home. 1/2 inch to 1 foot scale is common.
Home design ideas will help you to get idea about various type of elevation design like modern elevation design, contemporary elevation design, european elevation design, ultra modern elevation design, traditional elevation design , villa elevation design , and bungalow elevation design.

"Good Morning America" host Robin Roberts is back at home after a week in the hospital for a latent virus that had not responded to medication.
"Our immune systems usually take care of a virus like this … but mine is only 59 days old," Roberts, who had a bone marrow transplant on Sept. 20, wrote in a post called "Home Sweet Home: Part II."
Roberts, who had undergone breast cancer treatment five years ago, was diagnosed this year with a rare blood disorder, myelodysplastic syndrome. Her sister Sally-Ann Roberts, a broadcast journalist at WWL-TV in New Orleans, donated her healthy stem cells for Roberts' transplant. Her own cells were destroyed by the chemotherapy that was a part of her treatment.
"Physically I felt fine but being back in the hospital took an emotional toll on me," Roberts wrote of her most recent visit. "The wonderful doctors, nurses and support staff lifted my spirits. … It was comforting seeing them again."
Roberts' sister flew to New York and interviewed her before Roberts was discharged from the hospital on Friday night. The segment will be broadcast on "GMA" Tuesday morning.
Roberts also recently tweeted back and forth with Miss America contestant Allyn Rose, who decided she will undergo a double mastectomy as a preventative measure after learning she carries the same chromosomal disease as her late mother, who died of breast cancer.
"Proud of Miss DC @AllynRose, being proactive in fighting breast cancer," Roberts Tweeted on Monday morning. "Admire your courage & candor sharing your decision w/ us. Blessings."
Responded Rose, 24, "@RobinRoberts Thank you so much! You've been such an inspiration to me. Good thing you weren't here today. I might have fainted. #Starstruck"

There was a time when losing teeth would mean losing them forever. Similarly, shapeless teeth could not be beautified. But now the time has changed and has brought many positive changes in the field of dentistry. In the field of dentistry, Coral Gables dentistry is quite famous and people are quite happy and satisfied with the dentists in Coral Gables. Now, a cosmetic dentist can very easily beautify your teeth and smile by using different methods. Some of these include;
- Teeth whitening
- Shaping of teeth
- Replacing the affected teeth
- Closing the spaces between teeth
Teeth Whitening
With the passage of time, our teeth's color becomes dull and they get stained. It happens mostly because of our eating habits such as taking a lot of tea, and other activities such as smoking etc. with the help of a chemical process, a dentist can easily whiten your teeth either at home or in his dental clinic, depending on your convenience. Following video shows how to whiten teeth in home.
Teeth Shaping
The dentist can very easily shape your teeth beautifully. They use crowns to cover the tooth and to restore a normal appearance and shape of the shapeless tooth. Crowns are made of different materials such as metal, resin, ceramic material or porcelain material that is fused to metal. However, this procedure is costly and mostly the dentists prescribe other dental procedures first and if nothing else can help then they recommend this method. The dentists may also do some enamel contouring and give a good shape to your teeth by shaping the enamel. It can give shape to overlapping teeth and those teeth which are crooked, chipped or irregular.
Teeth Replacement
Those teeth which are damaged can be replaced either through implants or by using bridges. The implant is done by using an expensive surgery procedure. It is a long term and the best solution for the replacement of missing tooth. Another way of replacing the missing teeth is bridges. Bridges are also known as artificial teeth. These bridges are made up of alloys, porcelain, gold or a combination of these materials. In this way the cosmetic surgeon successfully beautifies your teeth as well as your smile.
Closing The spaces
The unwanted spaces between the teeth that affect the overall look of your teeth and smile can be closed by using braces. The dentists tighten and loosen it, depending on the condition of the teeth and improve the spaces between your teeth. These procedures may be costly but nothing is more expensive than your beauty and confidence which you can gain only if you improve your teeth problems.

Earlier this month, five couples went on a cruise together for their annual vacation. The trip lasted for a week and the couples spent most of their time together. Each morning they would meet for breakfast and decide what to do for the day. On the fourth morning however, the ship stopped at a tropical island resort and the couples discovered that everyone wanted to do something different. At length, they decided to split up for the day and meet back on the ship for supper to share their adventures with each other. Each couple brought back a single souvenir and remarkably, they all brought back something different. Determine the full name of each couple, what they did for the day, and what souvenir each couple brought back.
1. The couple who went scuba diving didn't buy the homemade candies but loved the souvenir that Bob and Judy brought back.
2. Jake, whose last name wasn't Horner, was disappointed by his golfing scores. Peter, who wasn't married to Tracy, wanted to go sight seeing with Bob Gallop but he went surfing with his wife instead.
3. Each couple is represented by the following: Mr. and Mrs. Peel, homemade candies, Cindy, Bob, and golfing.
4. Mike was not Tracy's husband. Jane was not Ed's wife. Ed didn't go hiking.
5. The couple who went sight seeing bought a beautifully carved wood dolphin at one of the local attractions. The dolphin and Sarah's model ship were voted the best of the souvenirs.
6. Ed, who was not married to Cindy, liked the shirts that Jake Bremmer bought. Mike, whose last name was not Elmwood, bought the postcards.

Home > Glossary > Sound Production and Manipulation [SPM] > Recording > Ambisonic > English definition
Ambisonics is a means of recording whereby a single channel is encoded into four independently controllable output channels. Spatial orientation during playback is created through the interactive and complementary behaviour of a (variably sized) group of loudspeakers. Loudspeakers during ambisonic playback tend to not be perceived as point sources, and ambisonics is seen by some as an effective means of avoiding the problems of diffused stereo performance practice, in particular the loss of spatial control when a listener is situated too far from the stereo 'sweet spot'.

Employers Must Be Held Accountable for Workplace Violations
Far too often employees are mistreated by the very companies for which they work. When that happens, it is critical to protect your rights and ensure businesses are held accountable for the way they treat their workers.
It may seem like employers hold all of the cards in disputes with employees. They control paychecks and can seemingly fire a disgruntled worker at any time.
But employees must remember that there are specific laws that protect their rights. When employers violate those rights, a lawyer can ensure they are held accountable.
Were you Discriminated Against at Work?
Workplace discrimination is illegal in California. If you were harassed or otherwise mistreated at work because of your age, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, or many other characteristics, then you have legal options. An employment law attorney can listen to your situation and explain what choices you have to hold your employer accountable and recover for losses sustained as a result of the discrimination.
Were you wrongfully terminated from your job?
If you were fired from your job unlawfully, then you may be able to recover damages. Unlawful terminations include those that were based on discrimination, refusal to perform illegal activities, or in retaliation for speaking up about unlawful company practices. At other times, employers may violate an employment contract, opening the door for legal accountability.
Did your employer violate labor laws?
Every day different companies break laws that are in place to protect employees. This includes not giving adequate breaks, failing to provide overtime pay, maintaining unsafe working conditions and many other practices. In all of these instances, the law allows employees to pursue justice via the civil law.

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is a US-funded project to produce power from fusion, that is, by smacking together light atoms rather than busting up heavy atoms as in ordinary nuclear reactors. At the NIF, flashes of light from giant lasers zap tiny pellets of hydrogen, triggering fusion.
A recent New York Times article on the $4-billion facility illustrates the difficulty of staying oriented to reality in the face of mind-boggling gadgets as big as office buildings that tap into forces of nature most of us don't really understand. The article, "Fusion Experiment Faces New Hurdle," states that
The tipping point for nuclear fusion is "ignition," the moment when the lasers release the same amount of energy that is required to power them.
Who doesn't love ignition? "We have ignition!" is what the Apollo mission controllers used to say just as the flames burst out of the giant rocket and it flew up to glory. I often repeat the same phrase, probably annoyingly, when I light a fire in our woodstove. Ignition is when things light up and really get going. But it's elusive for fusion, as the NIF's backers admit: people have been trying to figure fusion out for half a century, lured on (and luring others on) with the promise of clean, inexhaustible electricity . . . someday. Ah, if only we could achieve ignition. The facility's backers claim that they will do so within a year.
But there's something fishy about the goal itself. First, in almost any other setting, "ignition" denotes the beginning of a self-sustaining reaction, energy from burning fuel causing further burning of fuel. But the fusion reactions that the NIF proposes to "ignite" are not even close to self-sustaining in this sense: they will flicker into being and then go dark a fraction of a second after the giant laser flash ends. In this context, "ignition" is merely the condition in which as much energy, in the form of raw heat, is released by the fusion reaction as is required, in the form of laser light, to make it go. (In the NIF's words, "ignition is defined as fusion energy output greater than or equal to laser energy incident on the target.") Let's assume, generously, 100% efficient lasers that deliver precisely as much energy to the fusion reaction as they consume in the form of electricity. What the NIF proposes to achieve, therefore, is not what most of us would call "ignition" at all but, at best, energy breakeven: heat out equals electricity in.
But treating electricity and heat as comparable forms of "energy" is as dubious as treating pizza and sewage as comparable forms of "matter." An ordinary coal-fired or nuclear power plant, which releases heat from fuel to boil water to run turbines to spin generators to churn out electricity to run our cell phones and light bulbs, is forced by basic physics to throw away about 60% of the heat it obtains from fuel. You can turn electricity entirely into heat, but you can't turn heat entirely into electricity. This is because heat is perfectly disorganized energy, energy flying every which way, while electricity is highly organized and can be used to do almost anything. Likewise, you can turn 100% of a pizza into sewage (by eating it) but you can only turn a fraction of your sewage into pizza (by using it as fertilizer and growing wheat, tomatoes, and dairy cows from scratch). Electricity is energy pizza, and heat is energy sewage. The NIF is proposing to turn X units of pizza into X units of sewage, and this it calls "ignition."
The NIF's Holy Grail is therefore, to be blunt, meaningless (though the Times quotes it as if it made sense). If fusion is contending to be a viable power source, a less absurd goal would be to produce at least as much useful energy — not mere heat, but electricity — as is consumed. Because of inevitable heat-to-electricity losses, this means that a fusion facility would have to produce about 2.5 times as much energy in the form of heat as it consumes in the form of electricity, counting not just its lasers (as the NIF does) but its power electronics, air conditioners, pumps, computers, bathroom lights, and every other scrap of overhead. And that goal will be much, much harder to achieve than mere input-output parity.
But even electric-in, electric-out breakeven would be, in itself, useless. A lump of cold rock has achieved "ignition" by that standard; a fusion facility that merely balanced electricity in with electricity out would be nothing but a cyclopean, multi-gigabuck paperweight. To be useful, it would have to produce a large electric surplus and do so at low enough per-kilowatt-hour cost to be competitive with all other available sources of equally clean (or cleaner), inexhaustible electricity, such as wind or solar power (with, let's say conservatively, enough storage capacity thrown in to make them dispatchable around the clock). And these competitors are getting cheaper all the time, according to standard learning curves.
The NIF's apples-to-kumquats breakeven standard is, I believe, touted by fusion advocates because it is the only standard that fusion has a prayer of satisfying in this century — or any other. A fusion reactor that churns out net useful electric power at a per-kWh price competitive with realistic, equally clean (or cleaner) alternatives is almost unimaginable, even in the remote future — when those renewable alternatives will be even cheaper than today due to technological improvements.
It would be hard to set up a more hopeless contest. Fusion is a solid-gold tortoise starting a thousand miles behind a whole pack of very healthy, focused jackrabbits, all of whom already have a claw over the finish line.

MORE: Summer prospect index | Florida State's Leibrandt out for fall
The University of Houston could enter the 2014 college baseball season without one of its elite arms in senior right-handed pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon, who for now, has been declared ineligible by the NCAA to play in the spring because of concerns surrounding his amateur status.
Poncedeleon's situation has been a whirlwind for the Cougars. UH head coach Todd Whitting was ecstatic earlier this summer when Poncedeleon returned to college for the fall semester despite being a 14th-round (408) selection to the Chicago Cubs.
As Whitting soon found out, that feeling of euphoria was overshadowed by disappointment.
Though Poncedeleon, in fact, returned to Houston for the fall, his story had plenty of moving parts. Poncedeleon actually agreed to terms with the Cubs. And though most players verbally agree to terms with clubs, only to sometimes end up in college, Poncedeleon, according to Whitting and the Cougars, did so in written fashion.
Poncedeleon, after agreeing to terms, flew to Arizona for his physical exam. The 6-foot-4, 195-pounder, failed his physical, thus nullifying that agreement of terms. More importantly in this situation, Poncedeleon never signed his Uniform Player Contract (UPC), thus there was not a financial transaction.
The University of Houston self-reported Poncedeleon's signing of the agreement to terms, but hasn't received a positive result. The NCAA declared Poncedeleon ineligible to compete in the spring after receiving that information, and a first appeal by UH was denied by the NCAA. Houston is in the process of filing a second and final appeal to the organization.
"In Daniel's situation, I'm confident the NCAA will be fair and just in this unique of situations," Whitting said. "Daniel didn't feel like he was jeopardizing his amateur status by simply signing an agreement to terms. I just want them [NCAA] to be fair in this situation."
Both the Chicago Cubs and Major League Baseball have sent Houston documentation clearly stating the agreement to terms was not a binding financial document.
Time will tell if the NCAA decides to overturn the Poncedeleon decision, but there's no doubt it could have lasting effects, or perhaps even spur reform, on dealing with amateurism in college baseball.
There are numerous cases in the past when players have verbally agreed to terms with professional baseball clubs, only to attend college. Only in this situation with the UH right-handed pitcher, the fact is he signed a document agreeing to terms. That's the sticking point in this matter, as there's a line drawn between verbal and written agreements.
The NCAA will not address pending investigations or appeals, but NCAA Associate Director for Public and Media Relations Cameron Schuh was kind enough to provide the rules surrounding amateurism in intercollegiate athletics.
Poncedeleon's situation would sit under Rule 12.1.2, Part C, which states: "Signs a contract or commitment of any kind to play professional athletics, regardless of its legal enforceability or any consideration received, except as permitted in Bylaw 220.127.116.11."
Poncedeleon, who has a fastball anywhere between 89-92, would log significant innings for the Cougars in 2014. The righty finished last season with a 4.47 ERA in 86 2/3 innings of work, along with 62 strikeouts and 34 walks. Should UH's second appeal fail, Poncedeleon would be forced to either finish out his senior year as a student only at UH, or head to an NAIA baseball program for his senior campaign.
For now, it looks bleak that Poncedeleon returns to the mound for UH in 2014. The question, though: Should there be a distinction between verbal and written agreements?

The short story A DEEPER DARKNESS in 'MARK OF CALTH'
You reach what you believe to be the rendezvous point with Captain Bolinvar and the other Crimson Consuls. They are nowhere to be seen, however. A horde of genestealers bounding up the corridor towards you. You fire off a blast with your storm bolter to keep them at bay as you activate a bulkhead that seems to still have power. The bulkhead judders closed just in time. Return to the MAP to continue your journey, remembering to subtract 1 blast from your original total of 12. Your search for Captain Bolinvar and the Crimson Consuls will continue elsewhere. If you had no ammunition left at the beginning of this encounter then you already know that you are dead. Return to the Map and try again.

The current crisis will be solved within the framework of the constitutional order and the frameworks of the laws. This was the bottom line of the statement from the presidency after the crisis management meeting Thursday the 25th of February in Ankara between President Abdullah Gül, prime minister Recep Tayyıp Erdoğan and chief of general staff İlker Başbuğ. Considering the serious political crises and the way it has rubbed off on the financial markets, it was about high time to send the message that people in and outside Turkey must trust in the political and legal institutions of the country to be able to deal with the crisis. Needless to say that a repetition of the February 21, 2001 incident, where former president Ahmet Necdet Sezer quarreled with then prime minister Bülent Ecevit in the National Security Council thereby more than adding to a severe financial crises Turkey if not directly setting it off, must be avoided at all costs. This is seemingly recognized by all parties in the political conflict.
That the statement centered round the issue of the workings of rule of law and the institutional checks and balances in Turkey should come as no surprise. Not just due to the recent historical experience of 2001. Rather one has to understand how the judiciary is for better and worse the gravity point of the crisis. The question of whose ideological outlook dominates within the judiciary is a key concern by supporters as well as adversaries of the AKP government. The former explains how the judiciary has traditionally been in alignment with the Kemalist etatist elite including the military. The rulings of the Kemalist stong-hold par excellence, the Constitutional court, serve as prime examples. The closure case against AKP and DTP in 2008, and the recent overruling / annulment in January 2010 of the reform package passed by parliament in July 2009, which would among other have allowed civilian courts to prosecute military personnel. Even though this overruling has had limited practical effects, military personnel do in fact face trial by civilian courts in the on-going Ergenekon-Sledgehammer investigations, it has been seen as a strong symbolic support to the conceptualization of some people in Turkey as being above the law in the interest of the nation-state. Hence, they argue that what is in fact going on is democratization and strengthening of rule of law in Turkey. Those adversaries with a more conservative Kemalist leaning lament, how the whole Ergenekon-Sledgehammer case is nothing but a politically initiated witch hunt on behalf of the current government, thus revealing how the AKP has succeeded in a civilian take-over of not only the bureaucracy but also the judiciary. In this context the problematic structuring of the HSYK (Supreme Board of judges and prosecutors) where the minister of justice among other has a seat is presented as one of many examples of the ways in which government can somehow pressure the judiciary.
The current case of prosecutor Ilhan Cihaner really shows the intricacies of these relations (intricacies which can barely be disclosed in the brief section that follows but nevertheless). In mid Feburary 2010 Cihaner was arrested and interrogated as part of the Ergenekon case. The arrest was warranted by another prosecutor, Osman Şanal, with special authorities. Cihaner had launched an investigation into an Islamic religious sect in 2007 and later in 2009 attempted to launch an investigation into the Gülen movement. These acts had put him squarely in the secular Kemalist camp who are fighting what they believe is an anti-secular AKP government. Immediately following upon the arrest the HSYK (Supreme Board of judges and prosecutors) removed the special powers of the prosecutor who had had Cihaner arrested. In the light of HSYK being seen as a Kemalist stronghold, this removal was interpreted as the secular Kemalist elite showing its muscle, an opinion among other aired by the ministry of justice. Yet the very same ministry of justice was accused by critics of intervening in order to slow down the removal of Şanal, something which gave him time to forward the investigation file on Cihaner to the courthouse. Meanwhile AKP critics also saw the detainment of Cihaner in the first place as an attempt on behalf of the government to stop any investigations relating to Islamic religious networks. The underlying assumption is of course that such investigations might hurt the ruling party since they have close relations to the Gülen movement and (excuse the expression) God only knows who else.
It is easy to get caught up on either side of the polarized debate. There are however also those observers in Turkey who argue for the necessity of once and for all ridding Turkish politics of the legacy of military influence, while simultaneously criticizing the AKP for replacing military tutelage with civilian tutelage. AKP may say that they are acting in the name of democratization but they are not themselves acting as true democrats. On the contrary they are using the existing rules and regulation aimed at state control with civilian politics to consolidate their own power. Upholding the 10 percent threshold in national elections is but one example of this. In this sense AKP follows in the footsteps of a long and by no democratic standards glorious political party tradition in Turkey. It is also in this context that one can hear speculations as to the extent to which government is able to affect the judiciary. Of course there are problematic areas for example regarding the HSYK. But does this simply mean that the continued politicization of the judiciary is the only reasonable explanation to everything that is going on including the arrest of military personnel, or could it be that part of the explanation has to do with circles in the judiciary who are tired of accusations of lack of independence, and tired of a reputation as somebody's lapdog? Could it be that there are in fact people in the judiciary who act as they do because they pursue a strengthening of rule of law and the separation of powers?
Why is it, one may now ask, that this latter seems as such a naïve idea in a Turkish context? This I believe has partly to be explained by how the current tensions and political struggles between various elites have reasserted the prominent and popular notion that all acts are part of a larger master plan. Be it the plan of etatist elements or the AKP, the notion that acts are symbolic representations of a larger strategy and initiated by somebody for some higher purpose is by now the dominant lense through which all things must be interpreted and understood. As if there are not enough threats against the development of a democratic culture in Turkey, this is for sure one more problem to add to a long list.

Getting up in the morning is a battle. I actually sleep quite well, thanks to medications to correct my sleep dysfunction, but I am still never ready to get up in the morning. I force myself up out of bed, thinking of all the things I need to get done.
Getting up from my nap each afternoon is an even bigger battle. By the time I lie down after lunch, I am usually completely exhausted, even if I slept a solid ten hours the night before and wasn't very active in the morning. I need that nap; it would be physically impossible for me to keep going. And it does help. But getting out of bed after I wake up is excruciating painful. Only the thought of needing to pick up my son or whatever else I need to do that afternoon finally propels me up. Some days, like today, I feel as if my entire body has been filled with wet cement while I slept, as if my limbs literally weigh too much to lift them up off the bed.
Getting up off the couch to make dinner every evening is a huge battle. By late afternoon/early evening, I am completely worn out, in spite of the nap (it's even worse without the nap), but I know I need to feed my family, so I force myself to get up and get moving.
Getting up from the table after dinner to help clean the kitchen is a battle, but I know my husband hates doing dishes, so I try to help as much as I can.
And every single step in between, all day, every day, is a battle, a struggle. Just trying to find the energy to keep going each day, to do the minimum of what needs to be done, is exhausting in itself. And I'm one of the lucky ones! I'm fairly well off (in CFS terms), thanks to 10 years of tirelessly searching for effective treatments (and finding some!) I know there are plenty of people with ME/CFS who are much worse off, who literally can't get out of bed or off the couch, who couldn't even dream of making dinner for their family.
And yet, the Social Security Administration thinks I could work full-time. That is so crazy, it is laughable! I saw that one of the early reviewers of my SS disability application misunderstood all the diary pages I included, with ratings of how I felt each day. On average, I am somewhere around 2.5 on my scale of 1 to 5 (one being good; 5 being badly crashed), so they concluded I feel good most of the time. So, I compared my own scale to the one that Dr. Bell developed for measuring disability. My 1 (i.e. very good) is about a 55 on Dr. Bell's scale - that roughly compares to being able to do 55% of what I could do before I got sick...and that's on my best days (which are rare)! I often think that if a normal, healthy person woke up feeling the way I feel on a good day, he or she would decide to spend the day in bed. There's no way for a normal person to understand our daily struggle.
But life goes on...and so do we, struggling and battling every hour of every day just to do the minimal basic things we need to do to get by. There is no energy left for cleaning or lawn work or organizing closets or painting a room or any kind of home improvement (or most other activities) whatsoever.
Most days, I am grateful for the limited energy I have, and I face each day feeling positive and ready to do what I can. But some days, like today, it all just feels like too much effort, and I wonder how I can possibly go on and face another day of constant battles. I just want to crawl into bed with a stack of books and take care of myself.
But, as I often repeat to myself (as many times as necessary) at the end of rough days like today: Tomorrow is another day. And I will start again and somehow find the will to pull myself out of bed and do it all again...somehow.
One of my favorite quotes (no idea what the source is - I saw it on a plaque in a catalog years ago):
Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."

One of the takeaways from the U.S. Senate Federal Credit Union ad backlash could be that rather than trying to inject sexy into credit union ads, humor might be more effective, or at the very least, less offensive path.
As The Financial Brand's Jeffry Pilcher stated in his article about U.S Senate FCU's direct mailing piece, "sexual overtones in bank or credit union marketing always backfires."
Think back. Can anyone scrub the image of the banker bathing in money put out in 2010 by the $139 million Public Service Credit Union in the Detroit suburb of Romulus, Mich?
Credit Union Times decided to shine the spotlight on humor, so here's a look at five more credit union spots that have made us giggle so far in 2012.
Click on through and enjoy the show:
IC Federal Credit Union, Fitchburg, Mass.
Whether battling zombies or big bank invaders, the $453 million IC Federal Credit Union has set its sights on using education as a way to arm locals with the power of the credit union difference.
The Fitchburg, Mass., credit union has unveiled a friendly, yet irreverent series of spots that tout or demonstrate the many benefits of "home grown" local credit unions.
A total of five videos are slated for 2012. The first two have been posted to the credit union's website and YouTube channel. IC FCU has also created a QR code for its latest zombie life insurance video to allow instantaneous video viewing on mobile phones.
Charlotte Metro Credit Union, Charlotte, N.C.
For the third consecutive year, the $282 million Charlotte Metro Credit Union ran a local TV ad during the Super Bowl.
The 30-second spot, which aired during the first half of the game, poked fun at banking giants' need for fees and to just suck money away from locals. A man in a suit holding a vacuum with a sticker that said, "Big Bank" walks around downtown vacuuming up everything in sight."
Apparently, there's no limit to what big banks will do for profits," the narrator said. "Don't get suckered. Switch to Charlotte Metro Credit Union."
Pen Air Federal Credit Union, Pensacola, Fla.
Who isn't looking for a superhero these days? Sure The Avengers may save the world from alien attacks, but the Pen Air Patrol has joined forces to save locals from the "greedy hands of bad banks."
Created as a way to promote the better banking to be found at the $1.2 billion Pen Air Federal Credit Union, the superheroes Money Maven, Debt-Free Diva, Captain Premier, Fee Crusher and The Funder can be spotted everywhere in the Pensacola, Fla., area from billboards and comic books to branches and local events.
The backstories of the former bank customers turned superheroes can even be found online at www.penairpatrol.org and on Facebook, Twitter and the Pen Air Patrol blog.
Garden Savings Federal Credit Union, Parsippany, N.J.
Garden Savings Federal Credit Union found a hilarious way to tap into the frustrations of locals dealing with big banks.
The $211 million Parsippany, N.J., credit union plays up the negative press that the banking industry has been attracting since Bank Transfer Day this past November.
The video itself depicts a dark setting and a close up of a man who introduces himself as "a bank" who then proceeds to go through a less-than-flattering list of features for the consumer.
The spot was created as a call to action and way for local consumers to rethink why they remain at a bank.
Innovations Federal Credit Union, Panama City, Fla.
From flash mobs around town, to lip dubs of a "Bad Bank Romance" you never know what to expect from the team at Innovations Federal Credit Union.
Believing in harnessing the power of buzz, the $149 million Panama City, Fla., credit union has been at it again with fun parodies of "Sh*t People Say."
The "Sh*t Bankers Say" and "Sh*t Bank Customers Say" spots offer a funny "insider" glimpse at banker reasoning and what's really behind all those big bank fees.

Quincy Officials Say Water is Safe
(QUINCY)—Quincy officials discount a claim on social media that the city's water is responsible for a child's illness.
A statement from the Department of Utilities Director David Kent says Quincy's potable water meets all regulations established by the EPA and that at no time has any representative of St. Louis Children's Hospital contacted the city to report a water related illness.
The Adams County Health Department says a check with local medical providers finds no unusual clusters of illness in the county.

Crypt Run dungeons change each play-through and always offer new situations to handle.
Crypt Run presents combat, exploration, and collection in a playful medieval fantasy world. What makes Crypt Run special is its unique death mechanic -- the game isn't over when you die in Crypt Run!
Lost Decade Games has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the development, fans interested in support Crypt Run can back the game here.
When players die in Crypt Run, they find themselves transported to the Realm of the Dead. This new realm has an otherworldly appearance and is inhabited by evil dead creatures (some of which you yourself put there!). In this way, dying begins an adventure in a new realm. (This unique death mechanic will allow for extremely deep gameplay, including challenges that require transporting between realms to complete!).
Although it's a hardcore game that requires considerable skill to play well, Crypt Run's art style is intended to be accessible and lighthearted. Since the game involves so much blood and death, we feel that these heavy themes are easier to consume in large quantities if delivered with a playful aesthetic. Though Crypt Run is a cartoony game, its subject matter is quite mature!
The dungeons in Crypt Run are procedurally generated, meaning they are randomly created by the game during runtime. The developers apply heuristic techniques to make the level design feel as handmade as possible. Our goal is to provide a fresh and exciting experience every time you pla Crypt Runy !
Crypt Run can be played with a keyboard or a gamepad. The action takes place in dungeons, which are comprised of a series of rooms packed with interesting monsters, traps, and loot. Explore the rooms to collect powerups and dodge hazards. Attack and kill monsters by throwing swords, daggers, axes, and other fun weapons.

DETROIT - According to a study, 25 percent of Michigan households receive food assistance—hardly a surprising figure considering today's economic picture. What is surprising, however, is that one of those homes is home to a millionaire.
This fall, 24-year-old Amanda Clayton won $1 million from the Michigan State Lottery. Sure, someone else getting handed a huge check might make some a little jealous, but many were outraged at Clayton's winnings, as she was still using a Bridge card.
"People are about to lose their unemployment and these welfare recipients are spending our tax dollars foolishly," an upset tax payer wrote to Local 4. "Please do a story on lottery winners on welfare."
Local 4 tracked Clayton down to her Lincoln Park home where cameras spotted her and a U-Haul truck, getting ready to move into a new house—that she paid for in cash—now that she has struck it rich. She also bought a new car.
These purchases are nothing out of the ordinary for someone who just won the lottery, however hidden cameras followed Clayton grocery shopping, where she admitted she uses a Bridge card to pay for her items. She said she gets $200 each month, from taxpayers, to foot her food bill.
When confronted, Clayton said she didn't think she was doing anything wrong.
"I thought that they would cut me off, but since they didn't, I thought maybe it was okay because I'm not working," she said.
She said she didn't actually get the full million, because after she took a lump sum, the total dropped down to $700,000. After taxes, it was just more than half a million, Clayton said.
Even still, Clayton said she thinks she still has a right to the $200 a month in state funds.
"I feel that it's okay because I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay," she said. "I have two houses."
Needless to say, many taxpayers were quite upset with the situation. The Local 4 Defenders went to Ida Township to speak to Rep. Dale Zorn, who is pushing a bill to stop lottery winners from continuing to cash in on food assistance.
"Public assistance should be given to those in need of public assistance, not those that have found riches," Zorn said.
The bill has already passed the House, and Zorn is hoping it will pass the Senate soon.
"We need to have the lottery commission notify the state so that state can cross check those who are on assistance," Zorn said.
There are two different bills—one in the House, another in the Senate that have each passed which would require lottery winners of prizes of $1,000 or more to have their names cross checked with the Department of Human Services. If someone wins big, their food assistance would then be stopped.
Unless the law changes, it doesn't look like lottery winners will be changing their ways. Clayton said she will keep using her Bridge card until the state cuts her off. She said it's because she deserves it.
"It's just hard, you know. I'm struggling," she said.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: Minnesota Twins Prank Their Introverted Pitcher Mike Pelfrey
Minnesota Twins pitcher Mike Pelfrey is a Wichita State University alum and is also very introverted.
He obviously doesn't like being the center of attention, which probably greatly conflicts with his chosen profession of being a Major League Baseball player.
Being fully aware of how uncomfortable he'd be in this situation, the Twins decided to prank Pelfrey by telling him that the Shockers basketball team from his alma mater needed an inspirational speech before their next game in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament.
In reality, his Twins teammates were the ones on the other end of the phone.
Watch the awkwardness unfold below!

The Fellowship of the Ring
Author: JRR Tolkein
Series: #1 in the Lord of the Rings trilogy
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
Why I chose this book:
I knew going into doing the classics challenge that I wanted to do some classics that were in a specific genre, rather than true classics (as many people would define them). So I chose to pick books that were seen as classics in the sci-fi/fantasy genres (I combined the 2, because there is often some overlap). However, I did use the Lord of the Rings as the listing, so I am planning on doing the entire trilogy – this is just the first installment.
Having never read these books, I remember standing in line at the movie theater while in college waiting to see the first of the books – and I was with a bunch of Tolkein fanatics (which made for some interesting viewing – I mean, they even spoke elvish…) But for some reason I never actually read the books. So similar to The Hobbit, when I saw that the audiobooks had been re-mastered and released, I jumped on the opportunity to get them – having loved Rob Inglis' narration of the Hobbit. And he didn't disappoint in The Fellowship of the Ring.
For me, the one thing that took me by surprise was the length of time that was actually encompassed in the book. From the movies you would have thought that Frodo ended up with the ring and almost immediately left on his journey – but in truth, there was actually a period of about 12 years between when he got it and he left on journey. There were also many things that didn't quite make it into the movies (Tom Bombadil for one) – which added to the listening experience; and yet at the same time, proved that at its core, there was probably a lot of extraneous stuff in the book that wasn't needed (and maybe if that was the case and it was reduced a bit more people may read/enjoy it – because it seemed a common complaint that I have seen is the length/meandering style of his writing).
I have to admit that I'm a bit in 2 minds over whether I enjoyed it or not – for the most part I did, and the parts that were reflected in the movie, I was glad to see how they were described in writing; but at the same time – if I hadn't been listening to the audiobook, I probably would have given up at some point because there were parts where it felt like I wasn't going anywhere…
Rob Inglis once again nailed the narration from the voice distinction of the different Hobbits; to the continuous voicing of Gandalf (from The Hobbit), I was impressed. I think that my one comment would be, that at times, Gandalf and Aragon started to sound a bit similar to each other – but it wasn't too overwhelming. I'm curious to start the next book and see how it turns out as compared to the movie and overall because I remember it not being my favorite…Overall, I would give FotR 3.5 stars, but rounding up to 4.
