"Pura vida" reads a wooden sign that hangs on the office wall of Kalamazoo College Head Volleyball Coach Jeanne Hess.
"Pure life" in Spanish, pura vida is a philosophy of life in Costa Rica. A philosophy that has become both mantra and verbal reality check for the Hornet volleyball team.
"Pura vida is our team slogan," says volleyball player and rising junior Quinn McCormick. "It just means, 'I'm good, everything's fine.' We say it when we're stressed, and it's a way for us to put things in perspective and remember our trip."
McCormick is one of the 11 volleyball players that engaged in a K-Plan-esque 13-day training trip to Costa Rica in June, and she was already on site. Coach Hess and the rest of the team met up with the math major, who, since March, had been studying abroad in San Jose at the International Center for Development Studies (ICDS).
The team participated in all aspects of an abbreviated K-Plan, including daily service projects, international engagement, individual home-stays with Costa Rican families, and an intense classroom experience. Hess believes the volleyball court to be "the best classroom in the world."
Every three years the NCAA allows athletic teams to travel internationally during the off season. In 2009 Hess journeyed with her team to China. In the fall of 2011 Hess wasted no time making preparations for another trip abroad.
She made the decision to stay within the hemisphere and engage with one of K's study abroad partners, ICDS. Fundraising for the trip began in January 2012.
"I wanted everyone to go on the trip regardless of their ability to pay," says Hess. "The team wrote to the people who support them in their lives and asked them to now support their dream of playing volleyball in Costa Rica."
Parents and the community gave generously, and the dream became reality.
In Costa Rica, the team faced fierce competition, traveling around the country to play eight matches. Competitors included the University of Costa Rica, club teams, the Costa Rica national and junior national teams, and the Athletes In Action Team, a Christian organization consisting of collegiate (including Division I) players from nine U.S. states.
"I was so proud of our team because we accepted every challenge," Hess says. "We competed with everyone."
In her book Sportuality: Finding Joy in the Games, Hess defines "competition" as "to work with." By working with each other and high-level competitors, the Hornets discovered their strengths as individuals and as a team, and, through the sport, explored both physical and spiritual boundaries. That process, says Hess, is what she means by "sportuality."
The Hornets took pictures with every team they played with. They were able to improve their Spanish and help the international teams with their English.
"We felt that we helped lower-level teams perform better, and the teams that performed at a higher level helped our team play better," says Hess. "We had this universal understanding even though we spoke different languages."
This universality of the game is one of the takeaway lessons Hess wanted the team to understand.
"It doesn't matter the venue, it doesn't matter with whom we compete, or the language they speak; it's still the game," she says. "We found joy in these games, we found strength in these games, and we found will in these games."
Off the court, the Hornets found these same values in service with the Costa Rican community.
ICDS divided the team into three service groups. One group worked with autistic and special needs children in daycare, another group worked with the elderly, and the third group volunteered at Franklin Roosevelt Elementary School, where they helped teach pre-kindergarten students English and set up a science fair for grades three through six.
Hess calls the trip "an infinite loop of giving to and receiving from the Costa Rican people," and states that no one gave more than their host families.
"They welcomed us with open arms," she says. "We immediately became members of their families."
Hess became especially close with her host mom, though given the minimal difference in their ages, "She was more like my host big-sister," Hess laughs. Despite not speaking Spanish, Hess and her host mom were able to communicate through patience, understanding, gratitude, and the translator app on the coach's phone. In fact, the app enabled them to share some of their most meaningful moments.
"In the middle of a conversation, I would speak or type in what I wanted to say because I wanted her to understand what I felt," says Hess. "When I would play it or show it to her we would have these incredible moments of connection through technology."
Hess is now Facebook friends with her host mom's granddaughter, and plans to remain in touch with the family, even promising to return to their home in Costa Rica. "Next time I visit" she said to her host mom on the last day, "I will speak your language."
The players, too, made strong bonds with their host families. On the day of the team's departure, a bus went around to pick up all of the players at their homes. Hess recalls a scene full of tears and smiles, and cries (both delighted and desperate) for the coach to take pictures of the players and their families.
McCormick found saying goodbye to be particularly difficult,
Volleyball is "the best classroom in the world."having been with her host family since her March arrival.
Before studying abroad, McCormick had not been away from her parents for more than two weeks, and she found tremendous comfort in being welcomed into a new family in Costa Rica.
"I didn't expect we'd become so close," she says. "I'm glad I was able to make these connections."
Hess says she's grateful to the Center for International Programs for its assistance and to ICDS for going "above and beyond the call for hosting us for two weeks and for providing experiences that allowed us to bond, play, train, and experience the culture," she says.
She doesn't know how the trip will affect the team's performance this upcoming season, but she is certain that team members will hold on to their experiences in Costa Rica for the rest of their lives.
Hess says joy was the ultimate emotion of the trip and is glad that the team discovered their own "sportuality."
She's currently in the process of beginning preparations for a children's "sportuality" book.
"Team bias is indoctrinated into children at an early age," she says. "I think 'sportually' speaking, children need to understand that there's something greater than 'my team.' There's a level of competition greater than all of us and I want to put that out there in children's language."
Hess plans to involve K alumnus Bill Venema '59, a pediatrician at Bronson Methodist Hospital, with the project because of his experience communicating and working with children. And to make it a true K undertaking, she will also enlist as illustrator art major and recent K grad Laura Burnett.
There are more stories that Hess believes need to be told from a "sportual" perspective, and she hopes to have time to focus on these stories during her upcoming sabbatical (January through March, 2013).
For now, Coach Hess is focused on preparing her team for the upcoming fall season. She urges her players to remember the meaning of pura vida, to remind themselves why they play, and to never lose sight of the joy in the games.

text: The real trick to Halloween is figuring out how to make her request for a mermaid/woodland creature/rock star costume work. Pull together the most outlandish getups with Lucille's fox masks. French artist Lucille Michieli crafts the timeless disguises from bits of fabric and ribbon; contrasting prints on the reverse side give your pumpkin two looks in one. With its heirloom quality, you may be tempted to shelve it for special days, but those stitches are meant to last. And if it shows evidence of pillaging plastic pumpkins full of candy, just hand wash the sticky smudges away. Sweet indeed. Available at minikin.com, $48-$54. Photos: Courtesy of Minikin

MicroStrategy Highlighted for the Value its Mobile Solution Provides to Enterprises, with Top Score in Five Out of Seven Categories
TYSONS CORNER, Va., Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of enterprise software platforms, today announced that its Mobile App Platform ranks number one in Ventana Research's 2014 Value Index for Mobile Business Intelligence (BI) research. Ranked first out of 16 mobile BI vendors, MicroStrategy was cited for the value its solution provides to its customers, with the highest rating in usability, manageability, reliability, capability and validation.
To access a free copy of the report, visit: http://www.microstrategy.com/ventana-mobile-bi-value-index-2014.
Ventana Research's Value Index Captures Both IT and Business-Centric Perspectives
According to the Ventana Research report, "The top three companies' products all provide strong user experiences and functionality, but MicroStrategy stood out across the board, finishing first in five categories and most notably in the areas of the business user experience, mobile application development, and presentation of information."
"It is clear that today's mobile workforce requires the ability to access information and analyze data simply, straightforwardly and using an intuitive interface," said Mark Smith, CEO and Chief Research Officer, Ventana Research. "MicroStrategy's continued investment and excellent customer examples demonstrate its commitment to mobile BI across smartphones and tablets and helping customers design and deploy applications that provide significant business value but also in a safe and secure manner."
MicroStrategy President Paul Zolfaghari said: "We are thrilled to earn this number one ranking in Ventana Research's Value Index for Mobile BI. Since 2009, MicroStrategy has led the way with its innovative mobile platform, which continues to be highly esteemed by independent analysts and thousands of enterprises worldwide. Our customers get value quickly from their MicroStrategy Mobile™ solutions, and this recognition underscores how integral the MicroStrategy Mobile App Platform™ is to the future of their businesses."
Ventana Research's 2014 Value Index for Mobile BI evaluated vendors and their products in seven categories of requirements. Five categories are product-related, including assessing usability, manageability, reliability, capability, and adaptability. Two categories quantify the customer assurance issues of vendor validation and total cost of ownership and return on investment (TCO/ROI). Ventana Research noted that the largest percentage of organizations using mobile BI place important emphasis on easy access and use of the technology.
"Our mobile solution delivers business-changing mobile apps that make employees more productive and achieve results in less time and at a fraction of the cost," said Hugh Owen, VP of Mobile Products, MicroStrategy Incorporated. "In 2011-2012, we saw hundreds of organizations deploying to hundreds of users. Since early 2013, MicroStrategy's enterprise mobile apps are now helping thousands of organizations, and these organizations are deploying to thousands and tens of thousands of employees, highlighting the importance of reliability, where we had the highest category rating overall in the Value Index. We're extremely excited to play such a critical role in the mobilization of the enterprise."
MicroStrategy Mobile Delivers Significant Business Value to Thousands of Organizations
Thousands of organizations have received significant business value from deploying MicroStrategy Mobile apps to support new business processes and mobilize existing operational and information systems.

Hi everyone,
I would like to know how I can manage to obtain the number of remaining IPs in my VM subscription, and Web Apps for the WAS part.
I've been looking in the API User documentation for a while now, but without success, unfortunately.
Does anyone know how to do that ?
Many thanks,
Hello Matthieu,
As of today this information is only available from the UI, by clicking the About link.
We do not yet have an API that would allow you to retrieve general subscription information like licences, services purchased, etc...
Let me create an official FR as this could be indeed a good addition to our API suite.
FR has not been added to our backlog. We'll let you know when it can be added to one of our releases.
Best regards,
Hi Axel,
Thanks for your replies.
Best regards,

Related program: Haiti Rebuilding Center
Our program management team is currently on the ground in Haiti. It includes two regional program managers. One with considerable post-disaster experience and the other a locally licensed architect. Rounding out the team is a Haitian-American architect and over time they will be joined by two to three design fellows.
The team is meeting up with our on the ground partners and setting up our long term offices. If you are interested in meeting with the team, please contact us at our headquarters in San Francisco and ask for Frederika Zipp.
Additionally we are working with Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group on increasing structural engineering assessments (and training) and mason training programs for reconstruction. In early March we should have french and creole versions of our Rebuilding 101 manual and earthquake resistant housing guides in the field.

Around 3.30am this morning a 8.8 quake struck off the coast of Chile. We give our heartfelt condolences to those whose lives have been lost and support for the families confronted by the aftermath of this disaster.
It appears the damage is subsequently less than the recent events in Haiti, this maybe due to the countries record of earthquake preparedness, stronger building codes and location/depth of the epicenter. Regardless our thoughts are with those affected and responding to this tragedy.
For all information on building and infrastructure damage please visit Plataformaarquitectura.cl

It only took 20 seconds to destroy so many bright hopes and dreams in Haiti. The PechaKucha network is joining with Architecture for Humanity to help rebuild Haiti 20 seconds at a time.
On 20th February for Global Pecha Kucha Day for Haiti took place. 20 seconds x 20 images in 130 cities with more than 1500 presentation. All to raise funds for rebuilding Haiti. This represented the worlds' largest distributed conference - no flights, no hotels, no massive carbon footprint - locals standing up together for a global cause.
Total amount raised will be known by the end of the week.

[Updated: Feb. 18] For those not used to working in disasters the first week is chaotic, filled with stories of heroism and despair. The first responders are not the NGO's or medical personal but the families of those who are injured or lost their lives. It is an overwhelming situation to be in. It is also not the time for architects to show up thinking they can rebuild. People are trying to find their loved ones not think about what their lives will look like in 5, 10 or 15 years.
Trying to keep perspective is extremely hard. We've personally lost colleagues, friends and extremely valuable people in the last few days. On Thursday, one phone call ended with 'they are all gone.' For those of us who are part of the reconstruction effort, we need to think about immediate needs for shelter while planning for the next three to five years of rebuilding.

A Open Design Competition to Create Low-Impact Access To Trestles
Launch: Feb. 17 | Registration Due: March 17 | Submission Due: April 17
Access to Trestles, one of North America's most celebrated waves, is under threat due to safety and environmental concerns. Currently, over 100,000 people each year follow informal trails through wetlands and over active train tracks to gain access to the surf breaks at Trestles. These impromptu manmade paths present a safety hazard with passing trains and threaten the fragile ecosystem of Trestles.

For us, nothing is more vital than to build temporary, transitional and permanent schools. Not only bringing a sense of normalcy to the lives of those affect by the recent earthquake but to build anchors of recovery in communities have been torn apart. Thanks to the support of Ben Stiller, Shakira, Howard Buffett, Trevor Neilson and others we can begin to build hope for the future leaders of Haiti.
Destruction of schools in Haiti quake crushes hopes of a better future for many
By William Booth and Scott Wilson
Washington Post Staff Writers | Saturday, January 23, 2010; A01
PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI -- Of the many things taken from this city by the earthquake, few are as threatening to Haiti's future as the near destruction of a school system viewed across society here as the only path to a better life.

Hello, and welcome to the start of something a bit different here on You Grow Girl.
First off, don't be alarmed, this is not Gayla typing these words… this is Gayla's partner Davin. I lurk around behind the scenes most the time assisting with the design and technical upkeep of the site.
Gayla has occasionally mentioned the weekly "Arts & Crafts" nights we instituted in our home. Those nights give us both a chance to create and play with materials, styles, and concepts. We just have fun exploring new things or adding to existing projects. For me, this has been a way to clean off rusty drawing skills. [He says, "rusty" but Davin is responsible for all of the illustrations, background patterns, and decorative elements in two of my books. - Gayla]
Recently, I've been drawing birds — birds that just spring from my pencil, pen, imagination without extreme regard for species or proper bird anatomy — Imaginary Birds I have dubbed them.
Each week, I'll be posting a new drawing to You Grow Girl. To begin with, the birds will be the stars but I will occasionally draw a plant or two. I hope you'll enjoy the diversion.

THE CURRENT CINEMA review of "Seven Psychopaths" and "Holy Motors." "Seven Psychopaths" is an unstable mess filled with lunatic invention and bizarre nonsense, and some of it is so spontaneous that it's elating. It was created by the Irish playwright Martin McDonagh. In "Seven Psychopaths," an alcoholic screenwriter, Marty (Colin Farrell), is goaded by his actor friend, Billy (Sam Rockwell), into contacting a variety of murderers and using their stories in a script. By the end, however, the spilled-marbles approach wears thin. Director Leos Carax has worked on and off with the French actor Denis Lavant for more than twenty-five years. In their new movie, "Holy Motors," Lavant, in the person of a wealthy banker, is driven to Paris, where he leaps out of his limo in the guise of a stooped, elderly woman. And so it goes, through seven portrayals. The film keeps starting over and the surreal high jinks also kill any interest in the story.

Bought one of these nearly 30 years ago.The banjo I made with your tone ring and 3 ply rim has been sitting in it's box for the past 20 years.
Recently I got it out to compare with fairbanks Vegas as played on youtube,didn't have that convenience 20 years ago.Honestly I couldn't say any of them sound any better than the banjo I made using your tone ring and pot assembly,I feel like my banjo is just as good with the same sweet sound quality.If you are using the same formula now for your tone rings I would recommend to anybody.the other hardware was good quality too,the nickel plating is still in good condition.

i've currently got 3 tippmann's
all not working at the time.. kind of sad really
So my guns are
The A5 with egrip and upgrades looks like a m4 good mod http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/577279_10150691872875942_554347359_n.jpg
Project salvo w egrip.
the 98 custom ACT
My Problem with the A5 is a leak between the Tombstone and Valve, Air is leaking out between the valve sides and tombstone. This happened while i was changing my powertube to a red dragon alu.tube w.bolt. I took out the internals and oiled up all the orings and stuff. but as i put it together i noticed a leak... really annoying, i've been taking it apart and checking it about 10 times now been replacing orings and oiling them up but still nothing better.
so is it maybe the valve or tombstone who's got a scratch or fault?
My Project Salvo i bought used on Ebay, kind of an accident really but still an ok backup i guessed. i poened it up as i got it and everything seemed jolly good. nothing alarming. as i cocked and fired it without air all seemed well,
as i was going to use it yesterday i aired it up and as always everything seemed fine. As i was going up to do the chrono test i started shooting. It has a fault with the firing, the gun just sounds like a chainsaw just keeps on firing even in single mode so something is acting up, anyone got any experience with this? its not going full auto on every mode it's just pounding on so it must be another fault
My 98 Custom ACT; this one i thiink is really easy. its got a air fault. i've just replaced the bolt and power tube bq someone told me it was the fault. The fault of it is when i am shooting the air sometimes leaks out of it you hear this BRRRT and i need to re-cock it to shoot again. I know that the rear oring that sits between the hammer and stock mount is missing. is it crucial and might be the fault?
thank you for your help it really means alot, i'm abit frustrated since all my guns have gone wrong ;)
also i'm from norway so my english might be abit off, sorry
regards. Noddyk9

"Start by putting the original power tube back in. Original Tippmann internals generally work best on Tippmann markers. There are very few after-market parts that really provide an improvement of any kind. While you're doing this make sure you have both the o-ring and washer for the tombstone and they are correctly installed
already have tryed this of course. no effect at all
will check for damages on the other stuff

I would guess that in the process of switching the valve into the new powertube something got put back together wrong. When something suddenly starts leaking after an upgrade it's almost always 1 little part getting left out.
Check the parts diagram in the manual to make sure all the components inside the valve are in there correctly. Especially the tombstone o-ring and the washer that sits just underneath it inside the valve. It's quite common for one of those to go missing or for them to be assembled in the wrong order.
