Buddhism and Global Warming We are taught that we have to do
something to practice the Buddha's way. How do we practice during an era of
global warming? For some Buddhists the answer is
simple. Practice like we always practice breathing in and breathing
out. Living in the present moment. Giving away the merit of our
practice. While many Christian religious teachers
advocate nonviolent direct action to change personal and community
practices, even presenting teaching materials on global warming for
congregations to use, very few Buddhist teachers have presented
teaching materials on global warming for local congregations.
A few Buddhists have searched for
sources of Buddhist environmentalism. Daily practice and renewing our
vows based on the interpenetation of beings is manifest, for example,
in the Ecological Precepts of Green Gulch Zen Center. (Kaza and
Kraft, 2000)
When I asked our AZG advisor Angie Boissevain how we as Buddhists could address global warming, she drew
attention to the three hinderances: delusion, greed, and ignorance.
She did not offer specific suggestions for individual or collective
When I asked AZG advisor Alan Senauke
if we can find guidance in the Pali scriptures, he replied. "…I
don't think the Pali Canon is our source for views on climate
change, or Dogen, or others. Our ancestors point towards our
responsibility for sustaining life. But we are responsible for
figuring out what that looks like and means in the world we have to
live in and leave for the next generations. Developing such
understandings is the real challenge of engaged Buddhism." (email
May 17, 2006)
When I asked Alan if his colleagues in
the American Soto Zen Buddhist Association or the Buddhist Peace
Fellowship will put forth suggestions concerning practice during this
era of global warming, he replied "not likely." Shishi
When I asked some of my colleagues in
the local Buddhist community for their responses to global warming,
they either said that the issue has been exaggerated or that it is a
lifestyle issue. They said that Buddhists who practice "right
livelihood" or the Buddhist "middle" way will be drawn to buy
hybrid vehicles, reduce their personal consumption, eat a vegetarian
diet, and invest in mutual funds that specialize in companies
offering "alternative energy production."Some of my Buddhist
colleagues encourage "mindfulness" practice and spending more
time sitting zazen.
Stephan Batchelor comments on this
response. "While 'Buddhism' suggests another belief system,
'dharma practice' suggests a course of action. The four ennobling
truths are not propositions to believe; they are challenges to act."
(Batchelor: 7) Batchelor concludes, "Dharma practice
today faces two primary dangers: through resisting creative
interaction, it could end up as a marginalized subculture, a
beautifully preserved relic, while through losing its inner integrity
and critical edge, it could end up being swallowed by something else,
such as psychotherapy or contemplative Christianity." (Batchelor:
When American Buddhism becomes an
extension of individualistic psychology, the interpenetration of
social dukkha is diminished. Individuals come together in therapy
sessions to address their personal suffering, not the suffering of
the world. Portage Glacier, Alaska 1914 and 2004
David Loy, a Buddhist scholar, argues
that Buddhist teachings can lead to social theory. American
Buddhists, are required to develop our own Buddhist social theory of
community because we live in a radically different culture from that
of the Shakyamuni Buddha, 2,500 years ago.
He argues that "loving the world as
our own bodies" enables us to use our cognitive power to develop
patterns of behavior that help us adapt to current cultural and
environmental conditions. He concludes that "Taoism and Buddhism
also emphasize 'letting things be' in order for them to flourish:
not for our sake, and not even for their own sake, but for no sake at
all—because questions of utility and justification no longer apply.
That challenges the basic principle of our technological and
consumerist society, and it also subverts our sense of ego-self. To
admit that natural objects (or natural events) have an inherent value
independent of any awareness or appreciation of other beings is to
question our commonsense dualism between the conscious self and the
objective world. The ecological catastrophes that have now become
common make it evident that resolving the duality between ourselves
and the natural world is necessary if we—not only humans, but the
rich diversity that constitutes the biosphere—are to survive and
thrive in the new millennium." (Loy:51)
Where can Buddhists dwelling in
California and across America look for teachers in what Loy calls
"the great awakening"? Some Buddhists dwelling in California look
to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as a teacher. The Governor brings
together people from across the political spectrum, and he signed
landmark legislation on global warming in 2006. He has made lifestyle
choices confirming his practice of the "middle" way. He changed
his large SUVs into alternative energy vehicles. The Governor takes
up the Buddha's "middle" way. He is active in moving energy to
encourage "ecological sustainability."
Dwelling in the Humboldt bioregion of
California, we are rich in mountains and rivers and rich in people
who are peaceful, active, and creative. Klamath River
During the next several decades can we
envision Buddhist centers in Jacoby Creek watershed, close to a
Christian nunnery and monasteries in the mountains where nuns and
monks contribute to the social life of the community through their
productive labor raising food, harvesting timber in sustainable ways,
living simple lives rich in experience and teaching children the ways
of peaceful interrelationship?
We live in an era of challenge and
opportunity. We bring forth our positive energy and creativity and
live our lives in simple ways but with rich experiences in the
Buddha, the Dharma, and Sangha.

The development of Zen in America is
deeply colored by four issues in my view. These four are:
predominance of lay "vs." monastic practice, the influence of
feminism, the way the aesthetics of Zen have permeated (some) popular
arts in the West, and the development of Zen in America which begins
with the early "Beats" and other rebels.
In the beginning, early American Zen
teachers quickly found it necessary to develop forms for lay practice
and study outside of monastic structures. They often attempted
(successfully or not) to merge monastic practices with their
understanding of lay life in America. Early students of Zen in
America were interested from the beginning in participating in
meditation and Dharma study to an extent that is unprecedented in
Asian lay Buddhist communities, although highly developed in Asian
monastic settings. Some might say that (convert) Buddhist-Americans
want their cake (lay life) and they want to eat it too (zazen
practice). Buddha Cake However, these early Zen teachers found
that many things, which are taken for granted in Japanese Zen
Buddhism, do not translate easily to American society. Relationships
with temples, abbots, teacher-student relationships, daily ritual and
financial support of the temple by the lay sangha are imbedded in
Asian Buddhist societies. Forms that frequently seem awkward to
American Zen students are based on traditional ways of showing courtesy
and respect that seem natural in Japanese society. A major challenge
for American Zen is maintaining recognizable, and respectful,
identity with Buddhist teachings without necessarily adapting social
forms of traditional Japanese society. This is an important "practice
edge" for American Zen.
Secondly, American feminism has deeply
influenced and modified the development of Zen institutions and
teachings in the West. American women developed a potent voice in Zen
sanghas following the early scandals that arose due to misuse of
sexuality by (male) teachers. American women brought their concerns
about exploitation of women, their own desire to study and teach, and
their interest in nurturing of future generations into sangha
discussions. "Grandmotherly" wisdom acquired a voice and a high
value in some American Zen communities. The wave of American teachers
developing currently appears to be female by a wide margin. Some
examples of women who have become strong leaders in American
(convert) Zen communities include: Joan Halifax, Charlotte Joko Beck,
Linda Cutts, Blanche Hartman, Angie Boissevain, and Maylie Kushin
Scott. You may think of many other examples. Linda Cutts, Angie
Joko Beck,
Third, Zen in America is popularly
understood as an aesthetic sensibility that emphasizes simplicity and
naturalness or spontaneity. Zen aesthetics are especially
influential in architecture, landscape design. interior design,
textile design, "new music" (e.g. John Cage and Lou Harrison),
poetry, painting, photography, and cooking. John Daido Loori is a Zen
priest and a well-regarded photographer. Zen themes and archetypes
form an underlying structure for many successful films, such as the
Star Wars series and "serious" comedies such as "Groundhog
Day." Wikipedia says "A Zen film or Zen movie is a motion picture
that is said to have a Zen-like undercurrent, or a significant
sequence where there is a "Zen moment." Zen movies are
often sparse, quiet, observing, with attention to detail and
lingering scenes without comment." Many books have been written on
"Zen and…." Titles include "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance," "Zen and the Art of Making a Living," "Zen And
the Art of Happiness," and "Zen in the Art of Archery." There
is a "Zen" of golf and a "Zen" of boxing. In fact,
Amazon.com currently lists more than 70,000 book titles that included
the word "Zen"!
Fourth, no story of American Zen would
be complete in my mind without a deep bow to the rebellious
generations of Beat and hippie seekers. Their experimentation with
altered states of consciousness, natural and chemically induced,
propelled many of them into a spiritual journey in which they turned
to Asian traditions; to yoga, Hinduism and to Buddhism. In this
process, some developed strong commitments to Zen Buddhism. Alan
Watts was an early influential leader who lectured, often
brilliantly, on Zen themes and led many to further study. Jack
Kerouac flirted with Zen before spiraling down into his demons of
alcohol and depression. Philip Whalen, Lew Welch and Gary Snyder are
Beat poets who became Zen priests. Ram Dass studied Western
psychology, experimented with LSD, "dropped out" and found a
Hindu guru. In the process, he opened the doors to a wide variety of
spiritual possibilities for a generation of American young people.
Allen Ginsberg tasted everything available before eventually settling
on devotion to the teachings of the brilliant and controversial
Sogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Amy Waldman remained a Beat poet with zen sensibilities. For an excellent history of the American
journey to Buddhism, read Rick Fields "How the Swans Came to the
Lake." For a well-written history of Buddhism and the Beats read
"Big Sky Mind: Buddhism and the Beat Generation." Gary Snyder Books about the development of Zen in
American that I have enjoyed: Awakening
of the West: Encounters of Buddhism and Western Culture, by Stephen
In the Forest The forest is my Zendo Gateless gate All is one A Four-Day Stay in Eihei-ji A familiar recorded female voice of the
bus announcer states simply in Japanese, "The next is 'Eihei-ji
Mae' ('in-front-of-Eihei-ji')." That's very
clear: I have to get off. I disembark, carrying a Japan Rail Pass,
The Lonely Planet Guide Book, a note of encouragement and tips
from Cam Kwong (a friend from Sonoma Mountain Zen Center), and a
Faxed acceptance slip from Eihei-ji, all tucked away in my
trusty Eagle Creek travel back pack. I'm recalling with
trepidation the words of surprise and looks of concern from my aunts
and cousins in Tokyo, who tell me that Eihei-ji is known to be
the most rigorous Zen training center in all of Japan. They could
not believe that the little girl who left Japan at the age of 10 has
now returned this time to "do Zen" at Eihei-ji.
Editor's Note: The photos inside Eihei-Ji were taken by Tomiyama Haruo and are from his book, Zen:
750th Anniversary of Dougen Zenji's Memory.
Gates are Boundless Some discouragement,
some faintness of heart at the new real future which replaces the
imaginary, is not unusual, and we do not expect people to be deeply
moved by that which is not unusual. That element of tragedy which
lies in the very fact of frequency has not yet wrought itself into
the coarse emotion of mankind, and perhaps our frames could hardly
bear much of it. If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary
human life it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrels
heart beat and we should die of that roar which lies on the other
side of silence. As it is, the quickest of us walk about well wadded
with stupidity. Even in the 19th
century, Eliot sensed a malaise that has only grown more dire over
the ensuing century. Now, in the 21st century, surrounded
as we are by 24-hour news cycles endlessly repeating the shocking and
the lurid, we seem to have lost touch with the "roar that lies on
the other side of silence." Is "hearing the grass grow and the
squirrels heart beat" something to be feared, something that "we
should die of," as Eliot seems to say, or is it another kind of
"death" that she is alluding to? Is the "stupidity" she
speaks of another version of our "ignorance" or "delusion,"
as the dharma teaches? Do we use silence in our dharma practice so
we can hear "that roar that lies on the other side"? Epidaurus Rather than fearing that
roar, we might experience it as the heartbeat of the world. On the
eve of World War II, as Europe was spiraling down into violence and
chaos once again, Henry Miller left Paris for a long sojourn in
Greece. He was utterly entranced by that part of the world, and
wrote about his experiences in The Colossus of Maroussi. On a
visit to Epidaurus, Miller felt a deep peace settle within him. This
experience led him to one of his finest reflections, a soliloquy that
is a teaching for our own times: Peace
is not the opposite of war any more than death is the opposite of
life. The poverty of language, which is to say the poverty of man's
imagination or the poverty of his inner life, has created an
ambivalence which is absolutely false. I am talking of course of the
peace which passeth all understanding. There is no other kind. The
peace which most of us know is merely a cessation of hostilities, a
truce, an interregnum, a lull, a respite, which is negative. The
peace of the heart is positive and invincible, demanding no
conditions, requiring no protection. It just is. If it is a victory
it is a peculiar one because it is based entirely on surrender, a
voluntary surrender, to be sure…. What man wants is peace
so that he may live…. Man doesn't begin to live through
triumphing over his enemy nor does he begin to acquire health through
endless cures…. Whatever we cling to, even if it be hope or faith,
can be the disease which carries us off. Surrender is absolute: if
you cling to even the tiniest crumb you nourish the germ which will
devour you…. I hear people talking about peace and their faces are
clouded with anger or with hatred or with scorn and disdain, with
pride and arrogance. There are people who want to fight to bring
about peace—the most deluded souls of all. There will be no peace
until murder is eliminated from the heart and mind. Murder is the
apex of the broad pyramid whose base is the self…. In every realm
our conquests bring only death. We have turned our backs on the one
realm wherein freedom lies. At Epidaurus, in the stillness, in the
great peace that came over me, I heard the heart of the world beat.
I know what the cure is: it is to give up, to relinquish, to
surrender, so that our little hearts may beat in unison with the
great heart of the world.
One of the great aspects of the AZG
sangha is the number of opportunities it offers in time and space to
practice zazen: Sunday mornings at the Aikido center, early weekday mornings at Rin Shin-ji, Eureka, Fortuna, Pelican Bay, etc. This is the first article in
a series on the
different sittings/locations of the AZG. If you run or attend an AZG-related sit, please consider writing an article for this column.
Looking at the Westhaven zendo one
would not assume that this was an abode for enlightenment, but the
large corrugated metal workshop on a dirt road deep in Westhaven
supports a small but dedicated sangha. Every Monday and Wednesday
morning at a reasonable hour 3 to 6 members of the AZG gather to sit
zazen. Suzanne, our intrepid webmistress, opens up and turns on the
heat in the workshop that Mark P. has generously made available to
the group. In the southwest corner of the building a simple sitting
area has been created including an altar made of artfully stacked
lumber. This place provides the basic necessities for the
maintenance of practice and the building of kalyanaimitta. Two Pun Haiku In Buddha's would shop Zazen in winter

Rev. Donald Gilbert Don Gilbert was one of the early visiting teachers of the AZG; following his obituary, sangha members share their
stories. There will be a Celebration of his Life in Tracy, CA on June 2, 2007. If you are interested in attending, please contact Paula Yoon at
in Oakland, Rev. Gilbert was gifted with incredible strength and
concentration. In his teens, he teamed with a partner to form
an acrobatic and equilibrist act, "The Gilbert Brothers".
After he graduated from Roosevelt High School in Oakland, the team
concentrated for a year developing extremely difficult hand-to-hand
tricks and high bar routines at the Oakland Athletic Club—amazing
maneuvers that no one had ever seen before.
act was totally original—all of the acrobatic/equilibrist tricks
were envisioned and created by Rev. Gilbert. His strength,
concentration and balance were so focused that he could pull himself
over the high bar with one hand. After a few years of playing
many small vaudeville theaters, their big break came. Their act
was seen in a small theater by a booking agent—and they were
immediately booked at the highest and most prestigious vaudeville
theater in the United States—the Palace Theater in New York City
when he was only 20 years old. From their first performance at
the Palace Theater, they went from being "extras" to become
instant stars. They performed for 13 years on the Orpheum
circuit including three years in Europe and performances in
Australia. While in England, The Gilbert Brothers were
requested to perform at a garden party for a birthday celebration for
a member of the royal family—a party attended by the King and Queen
of England.
acrobatic career came to end when the United States entered World War
II. He joined the Marine Corps in 1942. At first, the Marines
would not accept him due to his "old" age of 32.
However, he managed to convince them of his strength and physical
abilities and they finally enlisted him.
the war, Rev. Gilbert had several careers which included being a
booking agent (including being the West Coast regional agent for the
"You Asked For It" television show) and worked for the
Actors Union. He finally created his own advertising agency, "Don
Gilbert Enterprises" in Stockton, CA from which he retired in
1972. Most
importantly, beginning at age 14 and continuing throughout his
various careers, he developed intense concentrative abilities through
meditation and pranayama yoga.
Gilbert became a student and practitioner of Buddhism and over the
years was a member of several different Buddhist organizations
including the American Buddhist Society, the Tibetan Buddhist School
and the Cho Ke Order of Korean Zen Buddhism. Rev.
Gilbert received the "Mind to Mind" transmission from the
Venerable Dr. Seo Kyung-Bo of the Cho Ke Order on July 13, 1973
becoming a Dharma Successor to Dr. Seo in the United States.
This authorized him to teach Zen under the Korean Cho Ke lineage and
enabled him to found his own Zen Buddhist organization in the United
States with the freedom to teach Zen in a manner he felt was suited
to Westerners. Rev. Gilbert was given the titles of Zen Master and
"Daishi" (Great Monk) and given the Dharma name, "Ta
Hui" by Dr. Seo. Since
the mid-1970's, Rev. Gilbert has given Dharma talks, taught
meditation classes and conducted numerous meditation retreats in
various cities across the United States including the Internal School
in Arcata, CA, the Il Bung Zen Buddhist Association in Huntsville, AL
and Sambosa Buddhist Temple in Carmel Valley, CA. Rev. Gilbert
founded the Blue Dragon Buddhist Order in 1979 from which he taught
for many years. He also formed local meditation groups in
Northern California in Oakland, Walnut Creek and Tracy. Rev. Gilbert
also served as the president of the Oakland Theosophical Society.
was one of Rev. Gilbert's creative passions. Drawing since he
was a child, he developed his art talent using pen and ink from which
he drew both cartooning and extremely intricate landscapes. In
later years, he taught Zen in a humorous way by using cartooning in
his two Zen books: "Jellyfish Bones" and "The
Upside Down Circle". Because Rev. Gilbert loved animals,
especially dogs, much of his cartooning featured little dogs and
animals. Rev.
Gilbert also loved to read and speak the Spanish language and always
kept his Spanish dictionary close to him. He was always happy
when he had an opportunity to speak Spanish with local residents.
Gilbert moved to Tracy in 1987 from Oakland, CA and lived there until
his passing.
is the beloved companion and spiritual guide of Dawn Bill. Rev.
Gilbert is survived by his nephew, Richard Hoisington and many
great-nieces and great-nephew Kimberly McLellan, Dennis McLellan,
Carolyn McHugh, Lee Ann De Poyster, Joann De Poyster, Karen
Christiansen and Jill Rozek and their children. He is the
adopted grandfather of Karen Parker and Lori Farrar. Rev.
Gilbert has a large extended family of friends and students who will
truly miss him for his soft-spoken wisdom, loving manner and his
humor. from Sherry Skillwoman: One of my favorite Rev. Gilbert memories is from the California Street tea house era of AZG, when we had occasional visiting teachers. The sangha was
in the midst of The Great Sock Debate - re walking on the tatami mats with bare feet vs socks & if you Did wear socks, did they have to be black or white to
be Zen Regulation or could they be other colors.
from Gael Hodgkins: Rev. Gilbert and Gael
Namu Amida Bu: Remembering Zen
Master Donald Gilbert Once,
at my home, he leaned a little too far back in his chair by the
French doors. Crash. He went through the glass. Acrobat that he was,
he returned to upright sitting, and we resumed our conversation.
Once, as he was leaving town and I was desperate, I asked to
speak to him privately. He said he did not have time, but I blurted
out my story--dumped by the man in my life. He taught, "It's
like having your right arm cut off." Thus I have heard
(from Darrell Gardner): Gilbert came to Arcata and taught at the
Internal School held in Arcata's Old Creamery. That was about 1975.
It was then he became Lloyd Fulton's teacher. (Lloyd Fulton, sensei,
1944-2001) Gilbert called his sangha, "The Green Dragon
Zen School," and at the Creamery his students not only did zazen
and kinhin but also went out to the dunes. The practice Gilbert
taught there was for students to pick up a rock, carry it at their
hara, struggle up the sand-dune to the top, and then, with a shout,
hurl the rock to the bottom where he stood watching and listening.
This practice was repeated two or three times. Gilbert wrote
at least two Zen cartoon books, both of which I recommend: The
Upside Down Circle and Jellyfish Bones. Preferring Gold to Silver Preferring gold to silver And now another priest has come and
gone Buddhism in the NewsThe following is Catherine Cascade's Times-Standard column on the Buddha's birthday:
According to the ancient story, when Shakyamuni Buddha was born flowers burst into bloom and sweet tea rained down from the sky. The baby Buddha came into the world over 2,500 years ago in an area of northern India that is now part of Nepal. Tradition holds that he was born in the spring, but different Buddhist communities celebrate the birth of the Buddha on different dates. In China, Korea, Japan and other East Asian countries the date is usually the eighth day of the fourth lunar month—April 8. In Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia and other South Asian countries Buddha's birth is usually celebrated along with his enlightenment and his death or entry into nirvana, on the full moon day in the month of Vesak, which falls in early May. This year, local Soto Zen Buddhists celebrated Buddha's birthday in a traditional flower-filled ceremony on April 9. The sangha (congregation) covered a small pavilion with spring blossoms. Inside the pavilion a simple wood statue of a baby Buddha stood in the center of a basin of sweet tea. One by one in procession, each person bowed and ladled sweet tea over the statue. The ritual of Buddha's Birthday affirms and celebrates the birth, the fresh arising, of awakened mind in each one of us. Like spring, it happens again and again.
We drift off from the alert, open, receptive mind of meditation; we drift off from the ethics of compassionate action. And then—again and again—we wake up, realize, and return to the original mind of Buddha. We begin again to live in our own awakened mind. It's a baby Buddha we celebrate: a complete human being, fully alive but undeveloped—a beginner. Practicing meditation and compassion through the days of our lives, we develop the mature, responsible wisdom of adulthood. And over and over through the days of our lives we drift off, wake up, realize and begin again. Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki Roshi spoke often of what he called "beginner's mind," which he equated with the mind of Buddhist practice. He said, "The beginner's mind is the mind of compassion. When our mind is compassionate, it is boundless…How important it is to resume our boundless original mind. Then we are always true to ourselves, in sympathy with all beings, and can actually practice." Buddha's Birthday is an affirmation that, yes, awakened mind is alive in the world; boundless, compassionate "beginner's mind" is arising in us, fresh and full of life. That realization is sweet, and it is what we are enacting and making visible when we ladle sweet tea over the statue of the sweet baby Buddha, the baby Buddha arising in our own lives.
On Saturday, January 27, 2007, Buddhist Peace Fellowship members joined many others in a peace rally outside the Courthouse in Eureka. A bell, made from a
bomb casing from Thailand, was rung during the rally. The

Last year at this time, the Sarasota Music Festival's future looked bleak. Money and music were waning, and the odds of having another season were dim. Then, the Jay and Becky Kaiserman Foundation came along with the financial support, and Robert Levin brought us a conductor named Larry Rachleff. Against all odds, the festival is now stronger and better than it's ever been.
If Saturday evening's concert at the Opera House is any indication of the future, Sarasota now has one of the finest festivals for teaching and performing in the country.
Saturday's all-Beethoven program featured an almost all-student orchestra — and these kids were spectacular. They began by showcasing 18-year-old violinist Holly Jenkins in the sweetly tender "Romance" No. 1 in G. This Oberlin sophomore showed great poise, technique and a lovely singing tone that bodes well for a future career.
Artistic Director Robert Levin then took the spotlight with a beautifully shaped, lyrical and passionate rendering of the "Emperor" Concerto. Levin was at his best in this elegantly fiery piano-and-orchestral duet. This man is musical from the top of his head down to his purple socks. He, Rachleff and the orchestra were partners in such sublime music making that it was our socks they knocked off.
But the real showstopper of the evening was the Beethoven Symphony No. 7. Rachleff has been working with major orchestras, but he's spent a great deal of his time with young musicians. And he drew from these instrumentalists one of the finest performances of this work I can remember. It was an aural tribute to shape, color and edge-of-your-seat, breathless music making. He doesn't beat time; he contours the music, building crescendos, shaping phrases and molding the sound like musical clay.
He made me wish I could write the way he conducts. Rachleff is an inspiration, and it's people like him and Levin, with the great young talents we're hearing, who are the future of this festival.
— June LeBell

EUGENE, Oregon -– Texas A&M junior Sam Humphreys threw a school record of 268 feet, 7 inches (81.86) to win the United States Olympic Trials on a rainy evening in front of 21,626 fans at Hayward Field on Monday.
"I'm superbly ecstatic," stated Humphreys. "I never thought I would have got here when I first started throwing. To be here in this position, although not going to the Olympics being short by 14 centimeters, is heartbreaking. But I'm on top of the world right now."
Humphreys winning distance came up an agonizingly five inches short of the Olympic A standard of 269-0 (82.00) for him to make the team going to London.
"I'm a little upset, but I have a lot more room for improvement," noted Humphreys. "There is always the next four years to get that mark."
Oregon's Sam Crouser uncorked a personal best of 265-1 (80.80) on his final attempt, moving from sixth to second. He is also missing the Olympic A standard.
"I was thinking, please don't let that pass me," said Humphreys of Crouser's improvement. "I'm extremely happy for him and his PR. That is a huge throw for a sophomore in college."
Going to London are the 3-4-5 finishers in Craig Kinsley (262-2), Sean Furey (255-5) and Cyrus Hostetler (254-8). NCAA champion Tim Glover finished sixth with a 250-0 effort.
As the third thrower in the field of 12, Humphreys opened with a school record toss of 264-10 (80.74). Humphreys led the competition throughout all six rounds. His previous career best was a 261-3 (79.62) that placed him second at the NCAA Championships earlier this month.
In round two Humphreys hit his winning mark, which is the ninth best on the all-time collegiate list and fifth among American collegians. A foul followed in round three.
"On Saturday I was going a little bit slower with my approach, just trying to get to the finals," explained Humphreys. "Today I sped it up and I was able to hit it a little bit harder which resulted in a farther distance."
As the field was trimmed to eight, Humphreys held the final throwing position in the final three rounds. He hit 249-10 (79.16) in round four, then reached 265-2 (80.84) in the fifth stanza. Humphreys then closed out his victory with a 263-11 (80.44).
During the season 80 meters has been a goal for Humphreys and his impressive series included four efforts past that mark.
"I knew with the first 80m throw that I had the form working today," said Humphreys. "The adrenaline was pumping since it was a final.
"The weather conditions weren't great, and going out there and throwing that far I can't wait for a good day. Hopefully for the NACAC meet in Mexico next month I can extend that mark."
Humphreys and Glover have been selected to be part of the under-23 USA team that will compete in the North America, Central America and Caribbean Athletics Association championships in Guanajuato, Mexico, from July 6-8.
"I'm real excited about representing the United States at the NACAC meet," said Humphreys.
There will be a pair of off days at the Olympic Team Trials in Eugene. Action resumes on Thursday, June 28. The prelims of the women's 200 will take place that day with an Aggie crew including Ashley Collier, Dominique Duncan, Porscha Lucas, and Jeneba Tarmoh.
Demetrius Pinder, Wayne Davis II claim titles in Bahamas and Trinidad
Demetrius Pinder, an NCAA Indoor 400m champion in 2011, won the Bahamas title over the weekend with a career best time of 44.77, which currently ranks seventh in the world for the 2012 season.
After posting a time of 44.94 in the prelims, Pinder was challenged by Ramon Miller in the final. Miller clocked a personal best of 44.87 in second place while Chris Brown finished third in 45.19.
In Trinidad and Tobago three Aggies were in competition this past weekend.
Wayne Davis II won the 110 hurdles in 13.62 seconds (1.0 wind) while Deon Lendore finished third in the 400 with a 45.74.
Kanika Beckles, of Grenada, ran in the women's 400 and won the first section of a two-section final with a 53.13 clocking. Beckles finished second overall when Sparkle McKnight won the other section in 52.44.
At the end of the meet Lendore anchored the Trinidad and Tobago 4 x 400 relay to a winning time of 3:00.45 to break the national record of 3:01.05 set in 1992 at the Barcelona Olympics. Running on the relay with Lendore were Renny Quow, Lalonde Gordon and Jarrin Solomon.
Gordon was the 400 individual champ at 45.40 while Quow finished second in 45.60. Solomon placed fourth in the 400 final at 45.88.

Who Is That?!: New Zelda Game Concept Art
Although Nintendo didn't actually announce a new Zelda at E3 (but did announce a new Metroid, Super Mario Galaxy and WiiFit), here's some concept art shown by Shigeru Miyamoto to a group of game developers at a following conference.
I don't know about you, but that's no Princess Zelda. Could it be, as so many are speculating, the living incarnation of the Master Sword?

- Prior Credits – A maximum of 6 semester hours taken at GVSU prior to formal degree-seeking admission may be applied toward a degree program.
- Transfer Credits – Up to 9 semester hours earned from regionally accredited institutions may be transferred if they: (a) were taken within 5 years prior to the candidate's admission as degree-seeking, (b) are B (3.0) or better, (c) match GVSU course descriptions and semester hour requirements, and (d) are approved by a program advisor. Official transcripts for these credits must be on file in the GVSU Records Office along with the approved university transfer of credit form. Note, transfer credits that are assigned a grade of credit (CR) must be accompanied by documentation from the transferring institution stating that the CR is equivalent to a B (3.0) or better.
- Time Limitation – Candidates must complete the degree in 8 years. This time limit begins with the first credit that is used for the degree, which may be a transfer credit.
- Grade Requirement – To earn a master's degree, a candidate must maintain an overall GPA of B (3.0) or better on the courses (and only those courses) listed on the degree program. Grades below "C" will figure in a candidate's overall GPA, but the credits will not count toward the degree.

Official transcripts for these courses must be on file in the GVSU Records Office; however, the university transfer of credit form does not need to be completed. Note, undergraduate courses approved by a COE advisor may substitute for graduate courses on endorsement and/or approval programs – not master's degree programs. Also, undergraduate courses may be used toward the professional certificate if approved by a COE advisor before enrolling in the course(s). All courses used for the professional development must be completed after the issuance of the candidate's provisional certificate.
- Coursework Limitation – At least one half (50%) of the credits required in the planned program must be taken at GVSU.
- Time Limitation – If State of Michigan requirements change before a candidate completes the planned program, the candidate will be required to meet the new requirements.
- Grade Requirement – To earn a certificate, endorsement, and/or approval, a candidate must maintain an overall GPA of B (3.0) or better on the courses (and only those courses) listed on the planned program. Grades below "C" will figure in a candidate's GPA, but the credits will not count toward the certificate, endorsement, and/or approval.

Applicants who have been convicted or pled no contest to a felony or certain misdemeanors may be denied admission, field placement or certification. Certification may be denied for fraud, material misrepresentation or concealment in the application for a certificate.

The latest news about the effects of repealing the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Introduced by Bill Clinton as a comprimise measure that allowed gays and lesbians to serve in the militrary branches, DADT went into effect in 1994 and mandated that service members stay in the closet about their sexual orientation. Proponents cited to "unit cohesion," "high standards of morale," and "good order and discipline" as reasons for DADT's necessity. President Barack Obama ended the policy in 2011.

Five most-useful Outlook.com features Video
Five most-useful Outlook.com features Video Transcript
Good ole hotmail is now Outlook.com and it's a pretty competitive alternative to Gmail. If you were forced to switch over or are just diving into this new inbox, you only need to get familiar with some of the Outlook's unique features. Here are the 5 most useful outlook.com features and some tips on how to use them. First up is Instant Actions. When you mouse over an e-mail in your inbox, a few little icons will show up. They're like shortcuts. It will let you quickly delete a message, mark it out as in red or flag it. The best part is that you customize these actions. Just go to Settings, More Setting and select Instant Actions. Here's where you create your new actions. Click Add Actions and choose the type of action you wanna add. Also like to categorize, define the category and it gives a shortcut of color. Now, hit Save. And back in My Inbox, you'll see that the shortcut is now available as an Instant Action. Now, I can easily categorize the messages as needed. The second feature to check out is Keyboard Shortcuts. By default, Outlook comes with its own keyboard shortcuts. But if you just move from Yahoo or Gmail, you can use the shortcuts your already familiar with. Just go to Settings, Keyboard Shortcuts and select the set of shortcuts you wanna use. There you go. I just saved you some memorizing. Next, check out Rules. Like Gmail, you can create rules or filters that automatically organize e-mails when you receive them. So for example, you can set up Outlook to automatically categorize e-mails with attachments or automatically delete messages from Facebook. In settings, go to rules for sorting new messages. Here is where you create the filters. Just click New and follow the steps. First, you define a trigger like a sender. Then, you define the action like adding those e-mails to a category or deleting them all together. For people like me who are obsessed with organizing, this feature will do wonders. Here's another one you might have missed. You can send files up to 300 megabytes with outlook.com using the power of SkyDrive. Here's how it works. When you try to attach a file that's larger than 25 megabytes, you'll get this warning. Below it, you have the option to send the attachment using SkyDrive. Click it and the file will be uploaded to your drive. The recipient will get a link in the e-mail to download the file. Just don't forget to delete the file from your SkyDrive later. And finally, Scheduled Cleanups. So when you're viewing an e-mail, you'll see a Sweep Option in the command bar at the top. The feature lets you move or delete messages from a specific sender in one fell swoop. But if you select the scheduled cleanup, you'll be able to plan moves or deletions ahead of time. And you can always change the scheduled cleanups by selecting Manage Rules. So, those are the 5 best features on the new Outlook.com. But, if you have any other cool ones worth sharing, hit me up on Twitter. For CNET, I'm Sharon Vaknin.
