It was my privilege to be one of the keynote speakers at the China Annual Conference for International Education in Beijing. The other was a former foreign minister. As it turned out, we both never had the opportunity to study abroad. Although our jobs later gave us the chance to travel— in Minister Li's case to 183 countries—we both spoke about the opportunity we wished we had.
In an increasingly inter-connected world, the ability to work successfully in a diverse workplace is more crucial than ever before. And the need for cross-cultural skills to negotiate an evolving, global economy has never been greater. To that end, study abroad can contribute vitally by furthering students' foreign language abilities, enhancing cross-cultural communication skills and also providing a potentially life-changing international experience. Here at the Institute of International Education, we have encouraged students and educators to make study abroad an integral part of higher education. To help students get the information they need, IIE recently published "A Student Guide to Study Abroad," a comprehensive resource on study abroad that is packed with essential tips and information for students looking to study abroad, which I co-authored with Stacie Nevadomski Berdan, an international careers expert.
As we continue to live in an increasingly globalized world, cross-cultural competence has become an essential skill for succeeding in the global marketplace. Studying abroad is a great way for students to expand their horizons and can open up a world of personal and professional opportunities that will enable those who have the opportunity to study abroad to become effective global citizens. However, some believe that the merits gained from studying abroad aren't worth the time or cost.
Guest blogger Susquehanna University Provost Carl Moses writes about the school's award-winning Global Opportunities program:
As I child, I was fortunate enough to have opportunities to travel with my family and explore different parts of the United States. I marveled at the expanse of the Grand Canyon, the bustle of New York City, the quaintness of a New England fishing village, the peacefulness of an ocean sunrise. Those experiences, contrasting in many ways with my southern rural surroundings, opened my eyes and gave me an appreciation of the diversity of the American culture and its people, as well as ways we connect with each other across that diversity.
Pitt Community College in Greenville, North Carolina was one of the recipients of IIE's Andrew Heiskell Awards for Innovation in International Education at IIE's Best Practices Conference last week. Pitt was honored for its International Education Travel Scholarship, which provides full funding for participation in a Pitt Community College Abroad-sanctioned program and seeks to eliminate financial barriers for students and faculty recipients.
For more than nine decades, the Institute of International Education has been at the forefront of international education. The Opening Minds blog is IIE's take on how this field continues to change. Here the Institute's leaders will explore international educational exchange, global student mobility, institutional partnerships, international development, and other topics and trends that are shaping higher education around the world.

T. PAUL, Minn. -- Cam Atkinson and Ryan Johansen each had a goal and an assist, and a Columbus Blue Jackets split squad beat the Minnesota Wild 3-1 in a preseason game Tuesday night.
Mark Letestu also scored for the Blue Jackets, who got 20 saves from Jeremy Smith.
Nino Niederreiter scored for Minnesota, which played its preseason opener.
Johansen gave Columbus a 1-0 lead with 1:51 left in the first period, scoring on a rebound after Michael Chaput was stopped on a breakaway out of the penalty box. Atkinson put a rebound behind Niklas Backstrom at 4:23 of the second, and Letestu made it 3-0 at 7:53 with a wrist shot from the left circle.
Niederreiter knocked in a rebound of Charlie Coyle's shot for a power-play goal in the second. Backstrom stopped seven shots before being replaced by Darcy Kuemper midway through the game. Kuemper also made seven saves.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Alan Westin, 83, privacy scholar
The Record
Mr. Westin was cited as one of the first scholars to recognize the threats of modern technology and as one of the first to present a measured philosophy in a debate often charged with emotion and ideology.
Bob Belair, a Washington privacy lawyer and a longtime collaborator of Westin's, noted in an interview that Westin took pride in being a Libra — the sign of the Zodiac represented by a scale.
"If you're a Libra," Mr. Westin once told an interviewer, "balance is what the stars have given you — or cursed you to."
Mr. Westin's wife of 53 years, Bea Shapoff Westin, died in 2007, and a son, David Westin, died in 2003. Survivors include two children, Jeremy Westin of Los Angeles and Debra Westin of Teaneck; and three grandchildren.

Robert Pattinson isn't wasting any time -- a UHaul was spotted outside the Los Feliz home he shares (shared?) with Kristen Stewart ... following reports he's moved out of the love nest he lives (lived?) in with his (ex?) girlfriend.
Kristen's baffling public apology after her alleged affair with married director Rupert Sanders set this chain of events in motion.
Recent reports say Rob was weeks away from proposing to his "Twilight" co-star ... but instead, PEOPLE mag describes Rob as "heartbroken and angry."
Hopefully they can get through this, but it will take time. It's not going to happen overnight. Him moving out is probably the best thing right now.
He made the right decision. It wouldn't have ended there. I hope he leaves and never looks back. One day when he's really ready to settle he'll find someone who is devoted to him and appreciates what he has to offer. She's too narcissistic and debbie-downer for him.
She as well as the director are equally culpable, and her apology made no mention of his wife. Shows you where her priorities are.
What the hell is "baffling" about her apology? She screwed up and she admitted it. And if it's the public-ness of it that's got your panties in a wad, that's laughably hypocritical. Gossipmongers like TMZ make their living from by reporting, sensationalizing, exaggerating (and sometimes creating) celebrity news, hoping with every breath that an ordinary event will turn into a scandal.
Wasnt their relationship just publicity for the Twilight movies? So wouldnt this 'affair' be publicity for Kristin's new movie?
Did your writer mean "move out of the love shack" or did they mean to make this article not make sense?
What the hell is this sentence:
:... following reports he's moved out of the love he lives (lived?) in with his (ex?) girlfriend."
It gives me a headache just trying to read it. What the fnck is wrong with you?
this can mean two things 1. he needs time alone and think about everything that happened or 2. hes breaking up with her and hes getting his own place but we will have to see which one it is
i thought he moved out of the house not "moved out of the love".... stop trying to be witty and write a coherent article, please....
TMZ, get some writers and editors who are past the 2nd grade in grammar and writing ability. You are embarrassing.
How do we know for sure that it's him moving his stuff out and not Kristen? For all we know maybe he said "I'm leaving, I need space, you better be moved out of the house before I get back." (Though if he is the one moving out I can't blame him. He bought the place with her in mind so the memories would always be there. He probably needs a new place and a fresh start.)
I guess being highest paid went to her head probably has people kissing her ass 24/7 and felt like she could do anything she wanted, it sucks for Rob but better to have this happen now than after he married her. If I were him I'd go to Vegas find some hot chicks and party!
Unfortunately, her apology 'after' the pictures came out comes across as:
She's sorry because she got caught ...
Instead of truly being sorry -
if she had been honest with him privately before the pics came out and being forced into a confession, he might still be living there.

Asura's Wrath X360... With unprecedented levels of dynamism, drama and interaction, Asura's Wrath will deliver a fresh take on the action gaming genre. Once a revered deity, Asura was betrayed by his fellow gods and stripped of all his powers. Consumed by anger at the injustice he has suffered and swearing vengeance, Asura discovers he can use this fury to his advantage and turn it against his enemies. Cue relentless action as Asura finds himself facing off against numerous unique enemies, including planetary sized bosses, unleashing devastating and visceral attacks. Asura's Wrath loses the traditional distinction between gameplay and cutscenes through seamless player controlled narrative. Simply put, even in cinematic sequences the player can control Asura, directly affecting the gameplay, making Asura's Wrath a truly unique experience.

Madonna at Met Gala 2013 | Pictures 11 Reasons Madonna Was the Met Gala's Punk Queen by Kate Schweitzer 5/07/13 110 Reactions 471 Shares Print 13 414 36 8 0 When Beyoncé arrived on the red carpet at last night's Costume Institute Benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we thought the show was over: Queen Bey had arrived fashionably late to fashion's biggest night, and she stole the show in custom Givenchy. But just around the corner, Madonna — perhaps the original Queen of Pop — seemed ready to take back her throne. Moments after Beyoncé made her way atop the staircase, Madonna showed up in a look so punk, we thought she might have ransacked the museum's Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition to get all the materials. (Which, now that we think about it, would have been quite fitting.) Also in bespoke Givenchy, Madonna had all the workings of true punk royalty. For the details on her look and her afterparty attire, find them here in this gallery. Start 1. Attitude What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Madonna gave the crowd what they wanted. She had fun with the theme, plus her prowess at posing for the cameras paid off — and her powerful stance was anything but the red carpet standard. She could have been wearing a silk chiffon gown and still seemed edgy. Source: Getty / TIMOTHY A. CLARY 1 / 11 2. Tartan What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The fabric of choice for the punk movement? Plaid. Madonna's custom black-and-gray Givenchy jacket fastened over a black lace bra was really her only piece of clothing. Source: Julian Mackler/BFAnyc.com 2 / 11 3. Hardware What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Tartan alone does not a true punk make. That's why the blazer was embroidered with silver-and-gold metal studs and layered with safety pins upon safety pins, thick chains, and a wide studded belt. She topped it all off with similarly studded black leather gloves. Source: Julian Mackler/BFAnyc.com 3 / 11 4. Fishnets . . . With Holes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The shredded fishnet bodysuit over fishnet stockings was a key aspect of Madonna's punk getup. We're guessing those ripped holes were expertly crafted and meticulously placed. Source: Julian Mackler/BFAnyc.com 4 / 11 5. Bold Heels What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Madonna opted for bright pink suede Casadei pumps — a bold juxtaposition from her otherwise dark look. And isn't it just so punk to play with color? Source: Julian Mackler/BFAnyc.com 6 / 11 6. That Cross What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sacrilege! Always one to provoke, Madonna might have been making a strong religious statement in dangling a large gold cross from her back. Or maybe she just liked the way it looked. Rosaries have been a signature accessory of hers for decades, after all. Source: Julian Mackler/BFAnyc.com 6 / 11 7. Skin What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Beneath all that fishnet was a lot of flesh. We saw a fair amount of the music icon as she worked the red carpet. Source: Julian Mackler/BFAnyc.com 7 / 11 8. The Padlock Choker What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It was a lot of look, for certain, but nothing was more Madonna than the oversize metal choker engraved with the letter "M." (Did it make anyone else have a sudden urge to belt out some "Open Your Heart"?) Source: Julian Mackler/BFAnyc.com 8 / 11 9. Originality What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On the red carpet, Madonna was flanked by a very small entourage: her boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat, and her designer date, Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci. Alongside their black-tie looks, and despite the fact that Zaibat was in a skirt, she was the clear standout. Source: Julian Mackler/BFAnyc.com 9 / 11 10. All Black What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When arriving to the Met Gala afterparty at New York City's Boom Boom Room, Madonna — on the arm of Zaibat — covered up with a black satin trench with leather sleeves. She also opted for a dark metallic shoe change. Source: Getty / Ray Tamarra 11 / 11 11. More Fishnets What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The lesson here is there's never enough fishnet. So, when Madonna took off her leather gloves, she revealed netted undergloves, along with some chunky silver rings.

The Battle of Tianmen (天门战斗) was a battle between the nationalists and the communists immediately after World War II during the Chinese Civil War in Tianmen, Hubei, China and resulted in communist victory.
Like other similar clashes immediately after the end of World War II between the communists and the nationalists in China, this conflict also rooted from the fact that Chiang Kai-shek had realized that his nationalist regime simply had neither the sufficient troops nor enough transportation assets to deploy his troops into the Japanese-occupied regions of China. Unwilling to let the communists who had already dominated most of the rural regions in China to further expand their territories by accepting the Japanese surrender and thus would consequently control the Japanese occupied regions, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Japanese and their turncoat Chinese puppet regime not to surrender to the communists and kept their fighting capabilities to "maintain order" in the Japanese occupied regions, fighting off the communists as necessary, until the final arrivals and completion of the deployment of the nationalist troops. As a result, most members of the Japanese puppet regimes and their military forces rejoined the nationalists.
However, most of these former nationalists turned Japanese puppet regime forces were not from Chiang Kai-shek's own clique, but instead, they were mainly consisted of troops of warlords who were only nominally under the Chiang Kai-shek's before World War II, since they were nationalists in name only and mostly maintained their independent and semi-independent status. These warlords were only interested in keeping their own power and defected to the Japanese side when Japanese invaders offered to let them keep their power in exchange for their collaborations. After World War II, these forces of former Japanese puppet regimes once again returned to the nationalist camp for the same reason they defected to the Japanese invaders. Obviously, it was difficult for Chiang to immediately get rid of these warlords for good as soon as they surrendered to Chiang and rejoined nationalists, because such move would alienate other factions within the nationalist ranks, and these former Japanese puppet regime's warlords could still help the nationalists to gain more territories by holding on to what was under their control until Chiang completed the deployment of his own troops to take over. Chiang Kai-shek's objective was to simultaneously solve the warlord problem that had plagued China for so long and the problem of the extermination of communism together, which proved to be an extremely fatal mistake for him and his nationalist regime later on, as shown in this conflict.
Nationalist Strategy[edit]
In accordance with his strategy to simultaneously solve the warlord problem that had plagued China for so long and the problem of the extermination of communism together, Chiang Kai-shek and his followers had hoped that these former Japanese puppet regime's warlords who rejoined the nationalists would be able to hold on to the regions long enough for Chiang to deploy his own troops by holding off communists. If the communists were victorious in such conflicts, however, the result would still benefit to Chiang and China because the power of these warlords would be reduced as their military forces were smashed by the communists, and the warlord problem plagued China for so long could thus be greatly reduced, while at the same time, communists would be weakened by the fights and Chiang's own troops would have easier time to take control.
For the former nationalist turned Japanese puppet regime forces, these warlords and their troops had no problem of following Chiang Kai-shek's orders, and they were eager to prove themselves. These warlords and their troops were well aware that due to the collaboration with the Japanese invaders during the Second Sino-Japanese War, they were well hated by the general population in China, including those nationalists who refused to surrender to the enemy and fought the enemy until the eventual victory. Therefore, in the impending demilitarization after World War II, they were certainly be disarmed and discharged, which would probably be the best outcome and the power of these warlord would be reduced or even completely eliminated as a result. Chiang Kai-shek's ordering them not surrendering to the communists and fighting off the communists was a savior for them because by carrying out such orders, these warlords and their troops could legitimize themselves and thus retain their power by fighting the communists who were targeted as rebels by Chiang Kai-shek and his nationalist regime.
Communist Strategy[edit]
The communist strategy was much simpler than that of the nationalists because there was not any huge division within the communist rank like that of the nationalist. The communists already earned considerable popular support by being the only Chinese force left in the region fighting the Japanese invaders and their puppet regime after the nationalist withdrew, and after successfully establishing communist bases in the rural regions where better life was provided to the general populace in comparison to that of Japanese occupied regions, the general Chinese populace agreed that the communists were well deserved to represent the China to accept the invaders' surrender in the region and takeover the regions occupied by the invaders.
The battle[edit]
After the former nationalist turned Japanese puppet regime forces who rejoined the nationalists after World War II had refused to surrender to the communists, the only Chinese force in the region under the order of Chiang Kai-shek's regime, the 15th Brigade of the 5th Division of the communist New Fourth Army launched its offensive in Tianmen, Hubei, China against these units. Unable to fight off the communists, these former nationalist turned Japanese puppet regime forces who rejoined the nationalists after World War II enlisted the help of their former Japanese master, which only further enraged the local population, whose support went to the communist side as a result.
The battle lasted only several hours, and after 50 Japanese troops and over 100 troops of the former nationalist turned Japanese puppet regime forces who rejoined the nationalists after World War II were killed, the remaining 5 Japanese troops and 200+ troops of the former nationalist turned Japanese puppet regime forces who rejoined the nationalists after World War II were forced to surrender. The communists had captured a cannon, a heavy machine gun, five light machine guns, and over 270 repeating rifles. The communist casualties was light in terms of numbers, but Huang Xiting (黄西廷), a battalion commander and Yang Li (杨力), a battalion level political commissar were among those killed.
Like other similar clashes immediately after the end of World War II between the communists and the nationalists in China, this conflict also showed that Chiang Kai-shek's attempt to simultaneously solve the warlord problem that had plagued China for so long and the problem of the extermination of communism together proved to be a fatal mistake. Although the result of the campaign turned out exactly like Chiang Kai-shek and his subordinates had predicted, and consequently the power of the warlords in this region was indeed reduced as their military forces were smashed by the communists, so that the warlord problem plagued China for so long was thus reduced for this particular region, and Chiang Kai-shek's secondary objective was achieved here, any positive gains obtained by the nationalists were negated by the politic fallout. The reason was that this success of achieving the secondary objective came at a huge cost in nationalists' loss of popular support in this region formerly dominated by the Japanese, because the local population had already blamed nationalilsts for losing the regions to the Japanese invaders, while reassigning these former Japanese puppet regime forces as the nationalist forces to fight the communists, the only Chinese force left in the regions, only further alienated the local populace and strengthened the popular resentment to Chiang Kai-shek and his nationalist regime.

Twas the night afore Chrimmas, and I treated the wife and myself to our first JP brew. A capped 750, marked as Batch 627, poured into New Belgium globelet.
A - Brown, ruby at the edges with a 1.5 finger meringue head that retains nicely. Spotty lacing.
S - Sour funk, rum-soaked dark chocolate raisins, figs, and molasses. Very aromatic.
T - Very similar to a Flanders sour brown ale, with tannins and phenols up front, complemented by brown sugar, raisin bread, and bitter cocoa nibs. As the beer warms, the cocoa becomes very strong, balancing nicely with the moderate sourness.
M and D - Thinner than I expected, but not all thin. Silky feel with little carbonation, and a dry finish. The sour makes this a sipper.

This was one of the many beers poured at the December Albany Taproom bottle share. Not sure who brought this, but thanks! Poured out of a 22oz bottle into a tulip glass. My first Jolly Pumpkin beer ever, too!
I believe we had the Alpha Klaus a little bit before this one, and as far as I'm concerned, both of them were nearly exactly the same in appearance. The only difference, of course, is the viscosity and yeasty appearance of this beer. Otherwise, it's equally opaque, with dark amber tones, as well as an off-white creamy head that temporarily coats the top of the glass before dissipating into a modest ring. Leaves behind no lacing, sadly, but still looks pretty appetizing.
Smells a lot like your typical spiced quad, but there's the commonplace (allegedly, anyways) funk that this brewery is known for right away, as well as some tart elements. Dark fruit are at the front, but of the under-ripe, tart variety: green plums, currants, raisins, figs, and at the finish sweet molasses. Afterwards, there's a leathery, barnyard aroma that appears in an unexpected manner, melding with notes of black pepper, ginger peel, nutmeg, and allspice. Roasted nuts are at the front as well, although it does seem that the highlight of this beer lies in the sour fruit notes overall, as well as in the spice profile used. Pretty unique stuff - definitely quite restrained for what it aims to be.
The flavor is a little bit more varied, however - often to its benefit, but sometimes to its detriment, especially when it gets progressively funkier and leathery. At first, there's notes of dark cherries, sour plums, blackcurrant, and figs. Roasted chestnuts are at the front, with some light pine, molasses, and tobacco. Leather, especially of the slightly charred kind, starts to come in over time, as does these unexpected lactic funky notes that make the beer taste creamier and sweeter, yet at the same time a little funky and bizarre. The finish is filled with more of the spices, mainly of cinnamon and nutmeg, with some light chocolate notes. This is pretty yeasty, but it's surprisingly crisp and filling, with a sweet flavor from the malts that melds well with the spices and funky fruity flavors. Carbonation could be a bit better, but it definitely lives out to be the decadent, albeit, strange beer it's supposed to be.
This was definitely one of the better ones of the night, and a lot of it owes to the tremendous balance given between the malts and spices as they fight over the rapidly shifting funky yeasty notes. This is definitely what the old school Xmas beers must have tasted like in the era of farmhouse ales. The results are very intriguing, and done quite well. I'm looking forward to trying more from Jolly Pumpkin.

3.7/5 rDev -8.2%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Poured from 750 mL bottle into snifter.
A: Pours a very dark cola brown with 3 inch light tan head. Excellent retention and lacing.
S: Dark dried fruit (raisin, fig), sweet caramel malt, mild chocolate, warm spice (cinnamon) and clove.
T: Berries (esp. strawberry), cinnamon, tart Brett, clove, soft caramel malt, and dark dried fruit (raisin). Interesting amalgam, but a bit jumbled.
M: Medium body. Sweet with a dry finish. Moderately tart throughout.
D: A decent brew with some interesting components. Not top notch for style however.

2.81/5 rDev -30.3%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2.75
A-Pours a dark brown hue. Tan head is birthed from the pour. Dots and waves of lacing are left behind as the head fizzles away.
S-The aroma's got some funky yeast and dark maltiness. Dark, rotten fruits. Light oakiness and lots of Christmas spice.
T-The flavor does not jive for me. I get some odd, medicinal or band-aid flavors. The funk is alive and well but it doesn't mesh with the dark malt and spiciness. Each sip leads me to question what's really going on in my glass.
M-Hard to appreciate the feel when you don't like the flavor much. Rather light in body.
O/D-Didn't care for this one at all. Will not revisit.

Race, religion no longer important factors in dating, survey finds
Thursday - 4/11/2013, 6:24am  ET
WASHINGTON - Times are changing and the dating world is no exception.
A new online survey from Oxygen Media, released in conjunction of a new TV show called "Find Me a Man," shows that religion and race aren't important factions like they once were.
In total, of the 833 people surveyed by Research Now, 80 percent said it was acceptable if their partner practiced a different religion.
Ninety percent of African American and Hispanic women said race was not an important factor and 85 percent of white respondents agreed.
When it comes to sex, men were twice as likely as women to go on a second date after having sex on the first, 57 to 28 percent.
Sixty one percent look for dates in bars, although 53 percent did use online dating sites. When it comes to dating advice, most of those polled did not turn to friends. Fifty six percent say they turned to the Internet for dating advice.
Nearly 90 percent of women said the biggest turn off on a date would be body odor, while 68 percent of men said a mustache on a woman was a deal breaker.
Both men and women said honesty was the most important factor in a potential mate, although 33 percent of men admit lying on their online profiles, compared to 17 percent of women who admitted stretching the truth.

Born in Danbury, Connecticut, on October 20, 1874, to a musician father, Charles Ives later started his own insurance business while composing on the side. Though his creative vision was often not initially understood, he later found great acclaim. He won the Pulitzer for his Symphony No. 3, with other noted works including Piano Sonata No. 2 and "The Unanswered Question." He died on May 19, 1954, in New York City.
"As a boy I was partially ashamed of [my training]. When other boys were out driving grocery carts, or doing chores, or playing ball, I felt all wrong to stay in and play piano."
"You won't get a wild, heroic ride to heaven on pretty little sounds."
Background and Early Career
Charles Edward Ives was born in Danbury, Connecticut, on October 20, 1874. His father George was a famed bandmaster of the town known for his sometimes radical performance ideas. The young Ives, having learned piano and organ, composed original material as a teen and played for his nearby church.
Ives went on to attend Yale University where he studied under Horatio Parker, who made it clear that he expected his pupil to follow traditional classical music forms. Near the start of his schooling Ives was emotionally crushed by the death of his father from a stroke, yet he managed to graduate and went on to live in New York City, working as an insurance clerk and doing composition on the side.
Ultimately becoming a wealthy business owner, he started his own insurance firm Ives & Co. in 1907, which would later morph, with partner Julian Myrick, into Ives & Myrick. In June of the following year Ives wed book lover and transcendentalist Harmony Twichell, who further inspired his creativity. The two adopted a child in the following decade.
Develops Body of Work
Ives crafted musical works into the 1910s and was particularly prolific during this era, as seen with compositions like the "Robert Browning Overture" and "Holidays Symphony" and shorter, eerily evocative pieces like "The Unanswered Question" and "Central Park in the Dark." His 114 Songs, published in 1922, traversed a range of musical genres; Ives sent out the collection, along with 1921's Concord Sonata, for no charge. He'd also hired musicians to rehearse his works while generally remaining outside of the classical/art music world.
In 1918, having pushed himself far too hard, Ives had a severe heart attack that curtailed his activities. He eventually found that he had lost the spirit to compose anew and by 1930 had retired from his business. He then attended to overseeing the further distribution and editing of his earlier music, nurturing creative relationships as well. And he continued to etch out the composition known as the Universe Symphony, which had a primordial scope and explored vast, grand connections to something greater.
Wins Pulitzer
Ives's work, while at times relying on European Romanticism, incorporated a variety of musical forms into final pieces that were beautiful yet also dissonant and unsettling with what could be interpreted as open-minded, layered takes on particular ideas. He utilized quotations from well-known songs and allowed musicians to play freestyle in certain sections of his compositions, and as such his work was often greeted with puzzlement and/or rejected.

Joel Mullens Currently: District Superintendent of the Italy District and pastor of the Moncalleri Church of the Nazarene Responsibilities: His ministry has involved engaging people in a variety of religious contexts, especially the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Muslim nations in southeastern Europe Achievements: While living and serving in southern Europe, he has been to 70 different countries, had the privilege of working with churches and church leaders in 38 countries, and has taught in 24 of those countries. In His Words: "SNU was fundamental in helping prepare me to serve cross-culturally. Besides the excellent academic preparation, I learned valuable lessons for life and ministry from the lives of professors and fellow students. SNU also offered me many ministry opportunities while I was still a student that prepared me to engage in effective ministry in southern Europe. Finally, probably the most important thing that SNU did was to facilitate the opportunity that I had immediately following graduation to serve as a volunteer in Italy. I will always be grateful to SNU for playing such an influential role in my preparation for ministry."

Last month, TV personality Bob Barker led the March on Monkey Jungle, a rally to bring attention to our effort to move King, a solitary gorilla living in a Miami roadside zoo, to world-class Zoo Atlanta. In Atlanta, King would live with other gorillas and be treated to a life more befitting his name. Two hundred and fifty people attended the march which was sponsored by PAWS and ARFF (Animal Rights Foundation of Florida). Said Barker, "It is outrageous that Monkey Jungle refuses this opportunity to improve King's life. King has suffered long enough. He deserves to go to Zoo Atlanta and he deserves to go now."

Guitarist Jonny Phillips might just be the next big star to emerge from
the F-IRE
Collective,the loose confederation of forward-looking musicians that
include the Mercury-
nominated Polar Bear and the hip-punk Jazz outfit Acoustic Ladyland,
But while those
bands embrace electronica, funk and rock influences, Phillips who
played on the Polar Bear
album and who regularly collaborates with folky songstress Julia Biel is
a different beast
altogether. His music is a pastoral, impressionistic mix of soaring
melodies and South
American folklore that strives to create an aural form of magical realism.
Dreamlike and
beautiful, it sounds simultaneously contemporary and yet centuaries old.
His band Oriole are something of a F-IRE collective supergroup with big
haired drummer
Sebastian Rochford (Polar Bear, Acoustic Ladyland, Fulbourn,
Taversham), cellist Ben Davis
(Julia Biel, Django Bates), Lee Konitz-ish saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock
Vasconcellos), claranetist Idris Rahman (Soothsayers), Danish bass
player Anders
Christensen (Paul Motion) and Brazilian Percussionist Adriano Adawali
Their new Album 'Migration' is an early contender for jazz release of the
year, a sublime,
slightly unsettling but emotionally rewarding work that draws on folk,
north Brazilian,
West African and Mediterranean music. Like the Norwegian pianist
Christian Wallumrod,
Phillips conjures music that is quietly intense, beguilingly beautiful and full
of pleasingly
robust tunes that stay with you long after you hear them. Expect
waltzes, gentle samba,
persuasive grooves, poignant themes and uplifting melodies that'll make
you smile, think
and want to dance.
Migration review:
Jonny also co-composed Julia Biels first album Not Alone
and plays guitar for Afro Dub band The Soothsayers
Jonny lives between London and Andelucia-Spain.

Boat Journeys
Enjoy an inspiring boat journey along one of the world's most beautiful coastlines or greatest rivers. Sail along Mediterranean shorelines sprinkled with ancient sites, cruise through the wildlife haven of the Galapagos, relax aboard a traditional dhoni in the Maldives or experience the wonders of Egypt on a Nile cruise.
Our boat journeys offer an appealing combination of activity, adventure, discovery and relaxation. You can enjoy shore excursions, exploring on foot, by bicycle or perhaps discovering the local history and culture, then return to your vessel to relax as you continue your journey.
Read moreWherever possible we charter small boats exclusively for the Explore group, helping to make our boat-based holidays more informal, relaxed and flexible. Small boat journeys are a very different experience from cruising on large ships, where the sheer logistics of managing hundreds of people at mealtimes and on shore excursions can make the holiday feel busy and inflexible.
Whether you're tempted by the picturesque, whitewashed villages of the Greek Islands, the history-rich Turquoise Coast in Turkey or the spectacular gorges of the Yangtse in China, try a boat journey to experience a holiday with all the adventure, activity and relaxation you could want.

If China's stock markets are headed into a major rally, it's time to take a look at what I call "good" China stocks and "bad" China stocks.
It's too early, in my opinion, to be sure that we're going to see one of those explosive 40% to 80% moves off a bottom that China's equity markets deliver from time to time. But I do expect a rally worth buying.
So in this column, I'll give you the names of stocks I'd put in each category -- four "good" stocks and five "bad" stocks. And I'll end with some thoughts on how to use them as this potential rally approaches.
The bounce is on
We have seen a huge drop in the Shanghai Composite Index, which in late September was down 70% from its October 2007 levels, but things are changing. The index bounced off the psychologically important 2,000 level on Sept. 26. -- and the index is up 5.1% from that Sept. 26 low to the Oct. 17 close. (The Shanghai index has trailed Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, which is up 11.9% from its low on Sept. 5 through Oct. 17.)
China's markets have turned on anticipation -- or hope -- of more aggressive stimulus measures from the Beijing government in the run-up to and the days after the official transfer of power to a new leadership team on Nov. 8 at the 18th Party Congress. That stimulus could be less aggressive than expected, or it could be ineffective. (For more on why this stimulus could be way less effective than the last round, see my column "The world's next big stock rally.")
And it's quite possible that the 7.4% growth rate for the third quarter, announced on Oct. 18, doesn't mark the bottom for China's growth in this cycle.
So we don't know and won't know until we see numbers for growth from the fourth quarter (sometime in the first quarter of 2013) or from the first quarter (sometime in the second quarter of 2013).
Jim Jubak
If the current stimulus hopes ultimately end in disappointment, I think we'll see a rally on hope that continues the current move up until the disappointing data arrive late in the fourth quarter early in 2013.
If the stimulus hopes become a real turn in China's economy, and the third quarter of 2012 does turn out to be the bottom for China's economic growth rate, then I think we could see a more restrained version (and slow growth in Europe, China's biggest trading partner) of the traditional explosive rally in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Even if that rally is restrained, it will be worth owning a piece of it. (This, by the way, is my current read. The third-quarter numbers showed a decided pickup in growth in September, the last month of the quarter.)
How to read China stocks
Here's the challenge: China's stocks are notoriously volatile and frighteningly opaque. Many investors are rightly afraid that any Chinese stock they buy will turn out to be a fraud based on creative accounting.
Certainly there have been enough examples of that -- Sino-Forest (SNOFF) and Longtop Financial Technologies come to mind. And even if the company ultimately turns out not to be a fraud, a short-selling attack on a Chinese company stands a good chance of success because so many Chinese companies are opaque and hard to understand.
In response to that truth about the Chinese market, and in order to derive an investing strategy responsive to the unknown potential of what looks to me to be the early stages of a significant rally, I've come to think of China's stocks in two groups: "bad" and "good."
Usually when investors talk about "good" and "bad" stocks, the "good" stocks are those that they'd buy and the "bad" ones are those that they'd shun. Here I mean something slightly different.
"Bad" China stocks are those that you don't want to buy on their fundamentals -- because the fundamentals could be deceptive, misleading or downright fraudulent, and frequently an investor has no hope of knowing the truth. Oddly enough, in the Chinese markets I think these "bad" stocks are frequently those that do best in the early, explosive stages of an anticipation rally like the one that seems to be building now.
"Good" China stocks are those that give investors more certainty that the fundamentals are indeed as advertised -- even if we still can't be entirely certain. These stocks can lag in the early stages of an anticipation rally. But as anticipation of growth turns into real growth, you'd much rather be in this group than holding the early "bad" rockets.
The usefulness of this strategy lies in being able to tell the difference between "good" and "bad" and being able to match that difference to the appropriate stage of the market. You may choose not own "bad" China stocks even during the early stages of a rally -- they are volatile and risky, although that goes along with their tendency to outperform early in the cycle. But you still should learn to recognize the difference, even if it's only so you don't get sucked into buying that "bad" stock when the early owners are starting to sell.

Back to Central and Northern Asia: 5000 to 3000 B.C.
Throughout the fifteen hundred years covered in this chapter, the Iranian (Indo-European) tribes slowly expanded in all directions, including various salients across southern Asia both east and north. By 2,500 B.C. the hunting economies had begun to give way to herding and agriculture in Kazakhistan and central Siberia. Horse drawn carts were in use in Turkistan by the same date. The pottery of all these people showed affinities to the Middle East. It was the domestication of the horse which allowed them to spread and penetrate in all directions.
In the far northeast of Asia, the Mongol peoples continued their own development, probably more closely related to the Chinese culture than to the Indo-European development. In the area which now comprises the western Chinese provinces of Kansu and Sinkiang, but which geographically are more a part of central Asia, the Pan-Chan phase of the Yang-shao Culture appeared about 2,500 B.C. with large urns painted in spirals with purple, brown, red and black. By 1,500 B.C. this gave way to the Hsien-tien Culture which included farming and the use of hand-made pottery and copper tools. Farther northwest, in the Yenisei Valley, the Afanasieve Culture with stock breeders and hunters, stamped pottery, and copper ornaments have been dated to this 3rd millennium. By 1,500 B.C. the Androvonovo Culture existed between the Don and the Yenisei rivers, with small settlements of up to ten semi-subterranean houses. These individuals, who were the ancestors of the later nomads of the central Asiatic steppes, grew wheat and millet and bred live-stock at that time. (Ref. 136, 8, 45, 213)

Avatar Claims First Victim, More To Follow
It was only a matter of time before Avatar killed somebody, and it's finally happened. Which is exactly why I haven't gone to see it. Well, that and I've been banned from all the local theaters for public indecency excessive awesomeness and killer style.
According to AFP, the 42-year-old cinemagoer, surnamed Kuo, had a history of high blood pressure and suffered a stroke while watching the film in in the northern city of Hsinchu (Taiwan).
Emergency room doctor Peng Chin-chih told AFP: "It's likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms."The China Times reported that the incident represented "the first death linked to watching James Cameron's science-fiction epic".
Interesting, China, but if it was actually Avatar that killed him then how do you explain THIS GUNSHOT WOUND?! Dum dum dum!
