On this edition of New Sounds, we'll hear from singers who reach across musical traditions, including a new recording of a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan piece – "Mustt Mustt" - by Indo-Canadian singer Kiran Ahluwalia, featuring the Tuareg musical rebels from Mali, Tinariwen. Kiran says of the collaboration - "I knew it would be compelling to have a song from the South Asian Islamic tradition performed with Muslims from Mali." We'll hear the results on this program.
We'll also listen to Indian Sufi singer Zila Khan, (daughter of late great sitar player Ustad Vilayat Khan), incorporating texts that pay tribute to the musician and saint Hazrat Amir Khusrau, who started the Qawwali singing movement in the 13th century. Plus, music from a Portuguese fado singer incorporating music from the Cape Verde islands, a Cape Verdean singer collaborating with musicians from Egypt, and an Irish singer incorporating the loping rhythms of African desert blues.

Plan of Evanston [ 51 V ADMIRABLE and necessary as they are, parks and beaches do not meet all of the requirements, as a recreation scheme for a city like Evanston. This scheme should be as comprehensive as the word recreation itself implies. It should provide everybody, from infancy to old age, with the means for play. Play is one of the prime necessities of life. Young or old, everyone plays, just as everyone eats, and if proper means of play are denied, others will be found. An enormous proportion of the crime of the world is play gone wrong. The means of play must be attractive. If it isn't pleasant, it isn't play. Therefore, a recreation scheme cannot be imposed in a relentless and militaristic manner, upon an unwilling public. Public likes must be consulted, public requirements accurately met. For the purpose of meeting them, the public may be divided into four groups, each with a different set of recreational needs. Group 1. Little children up to seven years old. Group 2. Children from eight to fourteen years. Group 3. Young people of from fifteen to twenty- one years. Group 4. Adults. The needs of Group 1, the little children, present a very difficult problem and, for a reason which will be obvious, we deal with it separately, at the end of this chapter. The needs of Group 2" children that is, of the primary grades at school, can adequately bemet by the careful planning and treatment of school grounds. Practically all children of this age go to school, and a supervision of their play, which is still necessary at this age, can more easily be had in the school yard than elsewhere. The yards should be equipped with suitable apparatus, playground, ball-diamond, and so forth. We propose that more land should be acquired around

Learning Thanksgiving from 'Yoda the Barbarian'
Brother Vinnie's lessons in praying and being thankful.
It was a warm September morning. I was a 14 year old kid who had gone to public schools his whole life, and I was about to have my first religion class at Central Catholic High School. I was nervous because I was a freshman, I was over dressed because I'd never had a dress code for school before, and I had no idea what to expect. I walked into the room and there was....Yoda.
Brother Vinnie had been at Central Catholic for a long time and had served in many capacities. At that time, aside from his duties of teaching us the basics of catechism, he monitored attendance. He had been doing this for a long time and had a couple of interesting stories about excuses for tardiness so outlandish that he had approved them on the basis of their creativity alone. His attendance duties added to the enigma of Brother Vinnie as well. You see, Brother's cassock was just long enough that when he walked, it brushed along the ground and you couldn't see his feet, creating the illusion that he was floating down the hallway collecting the classroom attendance sheets. Now that I think of it, to this day, I cannot say with 100% certainty that he was NOT floating down those hallways.
I remember Brother telling us some of his cautionary tales. For example, during a discussion about ordering our class rings, Brother told us of one evening a few years before, that he had gone to a grocery store dressed in his cassock. The young lady ringing out his purchase asked him if he was from 'Central', and when he told her he was, she said, "Oh, I have one of those!", and proceeded to pull out a keyring with the 'spoils' of relationships with several boyfriends' class rings from various local high schools. The message was clear. Your class ring belongs to you. If you want to keep it for posterity, do not risk making it part of some girl's collection. Although, in the battle between Brother Vinnie's advice and common sense verses hormones in a 14 or 15 year old boy, the deck is most definitely stacked, so I suspect some of my classmates now wonder where that damn ring went.
I think that all of us managed to develop an affection for Brother Vinnie. First of all we appreciated his teaching style by which he would give us a list of questions and answers, and then a week or two later give us a test, which was basically him, in the front of the room, asking those questions in the same order and having us write down the answers. But more importantly than that, we could tell that there was not a mean bone in his body.
This man who had inadvertently chosen a name during his ordination that would become inextricably linked with a fictional 'Barbarian', had struck a balance between an easy-going authority and a keen sense of humor. I think he truly saw each of us boys as having great potential that he did not want us to squander and he did not want to crush. Some of that may be a nostalgic revision of Brother Vinnie, or maybe I'm starting to realize what it was. As I work my way closer to Yoda age and look at the upcoming generations of young men, I feel like I see that promise and I hope that they don't squander it, despite being in a world encouraging them to do so at every turn.
There are two stories that Brother Vinnie told us that strike me more poignantly as I grow older and since I returned to the faith. The first was a story he told us about a time, many years before, when Central Catholic hired a teacher who was Jewish. I have never understood why some Christian denominations have issues with people of the Jewish faith. I particularly do not understand why Catholics would have an issue with them, but apparently, they did. Because when Central hired their first Jewish teacher, there was an uproar and they received quite a bit of less than enthusiastic feedback from concerned parents.
One of these parents found Brother Vinnie in the office and started to express his displeasure. Brother Vinnie, who was never wanting for 'chutzpah', was totally frustrated with these complaints and told the parent, and I paraphrase, that, 'all comments regarding this situation were now to be directed to the Jewish lady on the front lawn', and gestured out the window to the statue of our Blessed Mother. The parent reluctantly retreated.
The second story has had a profound impact on something I do every day. Once, in a discussion about prayer, Brother talked about how he remembered during World War II, the churches were full of people praying for the end of the war. Then, when the war ended, the streets were flooded with people celebrating, but the churches were empty. It reminds me now, of the gospel story from last Wednesday's readings,where Jesus heals the ten lepers and only one comes back to give thanks. Though many came to God when they wanted something, no one came back to Him in thanksgiving. This has shaped my prayer life such that, every time I pray I start by thanking God for the gifts He has given to me.
Now let's face it, sometimes life is difficult, you can feel overwhelmed, like you've had too much piled up on your plate. Sometimes it seems like you have nothing to be thankful for. At times like that, however, if you start prayer with thanksgiving, it can focus you on the fact that when you think you have nothing to be thankful for... you're just plain wrong.
A while ago I checked in with my old Alma mater and found out that Brother Vinnie had passed away in 2007. He was 91. I wasn't surprised , of course, I mean, although he wasn't actually as old as Yoda, he was apparently in his 70's when he taught me and I was in high school.... well..... let's just say it was a while ago. A few years after I graduated, Central Catholic went co-ed, they've expanded and I imagine they are charging a little bit more for tuition these days. I know that there are many beloved teachers there doing a fantastic job, but I just can't help but think it's interesting that the teacher who had an effect on my daily life and spiritual development, turned out to be, Yoda....The Barbarian?
So as we all gather around our tables this Thanksgiving, let's remember to put a bit of that celebratory day into our prayer life every day. As I said, when you think you have absolutely nothing to be thankful for, you're just plain wrong.
And may God bless you, Brother Conan Vincent, in dedicating your life to teaching us, I'm sure I am not the only young man whose life is a little bit better by your example.

Tom, as a fellow Raider, I too experienced the phenom known as Brother Vinnie. If he didnt "float" he certainly had a Higher Power guiding him through the halls of CCHS. P.S. I too gave away my class ring to a young lady, lucky for me I married that gal :-)

CCHS class of 1984 and Brother Vinnie was everything you say and more. You brought a smile to my face by reminding me of him. Thanks for that.

Thank you, Tom, for stirring up Br. Vinnie's wit and wisdom. He was all that you described, and more. Those of us who were lucky enough to work with him still tell stories about him daily. Br. Vinnie is most definitely smiling at your spirit, which is his spirit, which is the Holy Spirit.

Video: Gary Clark Jr. – "Numb" (Live on Conan O'Brien)
January 11th, 2013
Gary Clark Jr. aka the modern Jimi Hendrix to many is just totally swoon-worthy. Only this week, we've had a few friends randomly gush to us about just how dreamy the man is. Probably our favorite track off his Blak and Blu album and also its first single, "Numb," was performed on Conan O'Brien earlier this week. And yes, he's once again successfully given us heart palpitations and a case of the sweats.
Hear the studio version of "Numb."

Meet our School of Arts and Sciences Alumni
In the profiles featured below, meet alumni from Point Park University's undergraduate programs in the Departments of Criminal Justice and Intelligence Studies, Education, Humanities and Human Sciences and Natural Sciences and Engineering Technology. These School of Arts and Sciences alums discuss why they chose Point Park and talk about their experiences with course work, class sizes, faculty and student interaction, campus life and how their bachelor's degree has helped them reach success in their career fields.
Daniel Pomposelli
B.A. in Elementary Education, 2007
Business and Math Teacher, Carson Middle School, North Allegheny School District
"Whether I was playing baseball or learning in the classroom, I will never forget the awesome personal relationships I formed at Point Park. The faculty treated you like a real person and always had your back. I'm not sure I would have had that kind of experience at a bigger school."
Kayla Holjencin
B.S. in Secondary Education English, 2009
English Teacher, Pittsburgh Taylor Allderdice High School
"I wanted to find an urban campus that offered access to successful professionals from the education field. When I visited Point Park for an open house, I fell in love with it because it is in the center of the city. My parents said, 'We can see you here.'"
Phylicia Joy
B.S. in Secondary Education Mathematics, 2012
Mathematics Teacher, Crestview High School
"Point Park offered small classes and opportunity. After receiving the Presidential Scholarship, it was clear that I was meant to be at Point Park. If I could do it all over again, I would still attend Point Park for my undergraduate degree. Point Park gave me the tools I needed to be successful in my chosen career field."
Alexa Tokarski
B.A. in Secondary Education English, 2010
Pursuing M.A. in Educational Administration
English Teacher, Pittsburgh Perry High School
"I really enjoyed earning my bachelor's degree at Point Park. Plus, I heard the University offered great master's programs so I figured it made sense to continue on here. I passed my principal boards this past spring and feel that Point Park really prepared me for the test. 'The Principalship' class I took was especially helpful. It went over everything you need to be an effective leader in a school."
Leroy Headen
B.S. in Biotechnology, 2013
Chemical Laboratory Technician, Ashland Inc.
"I love science and a degree in biotechnology offered me an excellent opportunity to pursue my dream of becoming a scientist. This degree has courses in biology, chemistry and genetics. That diverse combination of scientific disciplines qualifies me to work in a wide variety of fields with high earning potential."
Melissa Bender
B.A. in Psychology, 2007
Occupational Therapist, Masonic Village of Sewickley
"When I graduated from Point Park one of my goals was to utilize my psychology degree to open my own life coaching business. I have since expanded on that idea, as my dream is to create a functional, occupational therapy-based approach to helping others achieve happiness and wellness in their lives. Wherever my path may take me I know that Point Park helped provide many of the skills I am using to carve my way."
Emily Petsko
B.A. in Global Cultural Studies and Journalism, 2013
Staff Writer, Washington Observer-Reporter
"I've always wanted to be a writer of sorts, and I also sought a career where I could inspire positive change, so journalism seemed like the best of both worlds. I stumbled into global cultural studies when I took a modern language elective taught by Professor Channa Newman, Ph.D. and immediately loved it. Every class in the program was so thought provoking, and I knew it would help me become a more globally aware reporter."
Taneka Davis
B.S. in Criminal Justice, 2010
Adult Probation Officer, The Judicial Branch of Arizona - Maricopa County
"I enjoyed the talented professors at Point Park and how they were willing to help you with projects and took on a true hands-on approach. They were very nurturing so you never felt like you were just a number in a classroom."
Clifford Perkins
B.A. in Elementary Education, 2009
Science Teacher, Dilworth Elementary
"Prior to becoming a teacher, I was a paraprofessional in the classroom and always said to myself 'I can lead a classroom. I can do that.' Managing a classroom is not as easy as some people might perceive it but the effort is well worth it. Becoming a teacher was one of the best things that ever happened to me."
Elizabeth Soucek, Esquire
B.A. in English, 2007
Attorney, Sergovic, Carmean & Weidman, P.A.
"Point Park gave me a solid foundation to build upon when I went to law school. I learned how to develop a study schedule and stick to it, which was invaluable later on. The rigor of the Honors Program in particular prepared me for law school, and for the commitment to academics necessary to be successful in my field."
Jeffrey Gurski
B.S. in intelligence and national security, 2012
Working within the National Intelligence Community
"When I came upon the intelligence and national security program at Point Park and looked at the courses I needed to take, I was sold. It was the only way I would leave the Marines and go to school. I have a deep passion for the field."
Michelle Graham
B.A. in elementary education, 2009
Third Grade ELA Teacher and Clinical Resident Instructor, Pittsburgh King Pre-K through 8th grade
"Point Park's education professors are skilled, knowledgeable, experienced, amiable and extremely responsive to student needs. They know what skills are necessary for 21st century educators and mold each student individually to ensure they have attained those skills."
Eric Probola
B.A. in global cultural studies, 2010
Administrative Assistant to Community Planning, Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh
"The staff at the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh liked that I had a degree in global cultural studies since they do a lot of work overseas. My work-study job with Point Park's Office of International Student Services also played a role in helping me to land the job."
Arthur Chileshe
B.S. in electrical engineering technology, 2007
Distribution Designer, Duquesne Light Company
"Funny enough, one of my best experiences during my undergraduate studies was when my classmates and I would be in the labs until 9 or 10 p.m. at night trying to figure out how to solve a problem. We had great relationships with our professors who took the time to explain difficult concepts to us but also made the classes fun."
Michelle Guaragno
B.S. in biological sciences, 2010
Co-founder of Marelle, LLC and M.B.A. Graduate Student at Point Park University
"I loved the science program at Point Park. I couldn't have asked for better professors. I liked going to a smaller school because I have been able to develop professional relationships with the faculty that I don't feel I would have been able to do at a larger school. The faculty members have a passion for education and their passion permeated to me."
Gary Smith
B.A. in English and secondary education, 2001
English Teacher, South Fayette High School
"The education program was excellent; I had a wide array of classes that focused on both the theory and practicality of teaching, and my professors were so diverse that I was able to begin to see my future career from many different angles and consider what it truly meant to be a teacher."

I wanted to get the most out of my education and know what I needed to know."
Elisabeth Jensen
B.A. in elementary education, 2012
Third Grade Teacher, West Elementary School in Arcadia, Fla.
"I am so thankful to professors like Dr. Suzanne Miller and Dr. Christal Chaney. They both gave me a practical look into education and allowed for first-hand experiences in their classes. Their knowledge was irreplaceable and they were both great inspirations. Another fantastic component of my education was my student teaching experience."
Nicole Perry
B.S. in civil engineering technology, 2008
Civil Engineer Supervisor, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
"Point Park has prepared me for my career in many ways. One way is that Point Park taught me the basic fundamentals in the field of civil engineering. Attending college while working full time taught me useful time management skills. Without these skills, I would not survive in the fast-paced industry of civil engineering."

The answer is "no". I translated the article into Korean using a Korean webservice and checked the content. It is a very short article. The first half of it is about some Japanese triathlon people canceling their trip to a competition in China due to safety concerns. The second part is like this:
The Head of JSF, Ms. Seiko Hashimoto, said that "the athletes cannot be sent under the current conditions" to the third GP series, Cup of China, at Shanghai at the beginning of November, suggesting pending of the trip. Asada Mao (Chukyo University), Miki Ando (Toyota Automobile), and Daiske Takahashi ( Kansai Graduate School) are scheduled to participate in Cup of China.
Basically, this is it. JSF is worried and monitoring the situation. It does not mean they canceled the participation yet. It is too early to say something definite. My guess is things will calm down in a few weeks.

Duke Medical Minutes are produced by local sports radio affiliates and allow Duke specialists to give a brief snapshot into health offerings at Duke.
In this episode, Alan Carlson, MD, discusses the vision correction surgery options available at Duke Eye Center.
Announcer: Speaking with professor of ophthalmology and chief corneal and refractive surgery, Dr. Alan Carlson. A lot of athletes are choosing vision correction. For the weekend warrior -- why would he opt to have surgery?
Carlson: Well, the weekend athlete needs excellent vision but often needs better peripheral vision then what they can achieve with glasses.
Announcer: What is vision correction surgery?
Carlson: We offer a number of different procedures. The most common procedure is LASIK. And LASIK uses the most precise laser in all of medicine to reshape the surface of the eye to match the power of a properly fit contact lens.
Announcer: What are the risks that are associated with the surgery?
Carlson: Every procedure has some risk. At Duke, safety is our most important concern. Patients undergo a meticulous screening process to determine whether or not they are a suitable candidate and also to determine which procedure, if any, is best for them.
Most patients will have a dry eye for a few weeks after surgery. They may also have some night vision problems and glare -- halos -- which usually only last about a week or two. And then their vision is usually at least as good as what they can achieve with glasses or contact lenses.

Joe and KG
I did want to post one other thing quickly and
encourage comments below on a topic that has bothered me for years. I heard
someone on the radio talking about it again today and it annoys me more than
just about any topic in the world, I think!
I don't understand some things, I guess. How is it that other team's star players are unbelievable and
can do no wrong while Minnesota sports stars seem to get little respect. I
think that Joe Mauer and Kevin Garnett are so similar
in that way. Each is one of the top players at his position in his respective
Kevin Garnett starred in Minnesota for the
Timberwolves for a dozen years. He was far and away the best player that
Minnesota basketball fans have ever seen. He did everything. He was a top
defensive player every year. He played with energy and heart and left
everything on the floor. He averaged over 20 points per game. He frequently led
the NBA in rebounds and was a good offensive rebounder. He could shoot from
outside and had enough inside game too. For a seven
footer, he was a decent ball handler and the best passing big man I've ever
seen in basketball. In an era where many people complain aloud about how the
NBA was too much of an individual game and full of selfishness, Kevin Garnett
was always incredibly unselfish. Remember when Latrell
Sprewell and Sam Cassell came to the team and Sports
Illustrated wanted him on their cover. He said he wouldn't do it without the
other two players. He did a lot in the community. He was just as good a
basketball player as there has been.
Joe Mauer is a Minnesota kid
whose prep career in baseball, football and basketball was well chronicled. He
was the #1 overall pick in the 2001 draft, ahead of Mark Prior. He played less
than 250 minor league games before coming up to the Twins. He hit over .300 in
limited playing time due to injury in that rookie year. In 2006, he won the
batting title, the first catcher in major league history to lead the entire
major leagues in batting average. In 2007, he didn't hit as well, but he
continued to take walks, hit doubles and get on base. He is generally
considered one of the top catchers in the league. He definitely takes care of
the opposition's running game while calling a great game. He is quiet. I've
been told that he is 'genuinely a great guy.' He has done everything that a
Minnesota fan should look for in a player, especially one who is still just 25
years old.
But each has his fault in the eyes of some Minnesota
sports fans. Really, in each case, it isn't so much a fault as it is a lesser
part of his game.
As unselfish as Kevin Garnett is, some say he is too
unselfish. Sure, he scores over 20 points a game, but people say that he can't
and doesn't try to take over a game late in games. Not the way that Michael
Jordan did, or the way Lebron James or Kobe Bryant
does. And yet, part of what makes those guys able to do that is that they are
not seven footers. They have much better ability to control the ball with the
dribble than a guy KG's height. Secondly, I have always admired the confidence
he has shown in teammates and I can't help but think that over a season, that
means a lot. A player should not change his game regardless. Kobe Bryant is a
scorer, no doubt, but he can't do all of the things Garnett does, but people
don't notice. Lebron doesn't play defense or do some
other things as well as Garnett. Kevin Garnett is the most unselfish, most
complete player in the NBA, and people need to realize that. Yes, he has shown
that he needs his teammates around him many games. That's ok. Would the Lakers
be where they are right now without Lamar Odom, Pao Gasol and others? Who is the Pistons' go-to guy? People
just don't understand that Garnett is one of the best all-around players to
play the game of basketball. The fact that he's a great
teammate and unselfish should not be considered a negative.
Joe Mauer doesn't hit home
runs. That's it. He hits for average. Hits doubles. Gets on base. Takes pitches. Uses the whole field. But he doesn't hit the ball over the
fence. That's his thing. He is brutally criticized by the local media and many
fans who don't look at the big picture. He doesn't drive
in enough runs. He is too nice. Why isn't hitting .330 and getting on base 44%
of the time enough? Why doesn't playing great defense and handling a pitching
staff enough? Why does he have to hit for power? Because he
is the #3 hitter in the Twins lineup? Does he write the lineup? Who
would be a better option? Who is the Twins best hitter? In a 'clutch'
situation, down by one run with runners on second and third and two outs, which
Twins hitter do you want at bat? Joe Mauer is one of
the top three or four all-around catchers in baseball, and again, he's just 25.
I just don't understand the venom with which some people are so against Mauer.
To the credit of each, they have not given in to the media and (some) fan backlash. They have done what coaches always tell players, stay within yourself, know your strengths and accentuate them. I admire that in each of them, and I think each should be credited. If Joe Mauer swung the bat differently and tried to hit more home runs, what would it do to his overall play? Would the batting average drop? Would he get on base less? Would he be a better catcher? Would the Twins win more games? Kevin Garnett could take every last shot, or all of his team's shots in the final quarter. He could throw up 25 shots every game. But at what cost? Would he still be able to play good defense and get as many rebounds? Would he be able to play as many minutes? What would his field goal percentage be? If it drops below what he normally shoots, does it really make sense for him to keep hoisting up shots, especially when he's got four other guys on the court, likely one much more open?
No, I think that both should be liked and admired for
what they are, not for what they aren't. I am certain there are plenty of
examples of players who tried to do too much and failed. Both are All-Stars in
their sport. Kevin Garnett is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. If Mauer can stay healthy, maybe he gets into Cooperstown. Who
knows? But for my money, I enjoy watching both of them play their game and
really don't want to see them change their games.
But maybe you know more than me… tell me why that is
so wrong?

Memory reads again after receiveing ORBIS surgery. Clouding of her eyes meant she could hardly see, and that she withdrew from normal life. After surgery, with a smile on her face, she spent as much time as possible reading whatever she could, a pleasure lost as her sight faded.
Before the operation Memory's condition, which developed overtime, caused severe clouding of her eyes and almost total loss of her sight. It caused her depression and to withdraw from normal life. But now Memory's outlook is totally changed. Her vision is now good and she spends as much time as possible reading whatever she can lay her hands on, a pleasure that has recently been denied to her because of her gradual sight lost. When asked what she thought of her 'new eyes' she exclaimed: "Praises, praises, thank you, praises, thank you." < More Success Stories

A sense of human
As this year continues, I would like to share their amazing findings. Because the internet has the ability to source so many advertisements and promotional messages that they and we can share I welcome the opinions of these future professionals as well as the universal community at large.
The first in these installments – what they found when asked to find an ad example that provides a sense of human through humor include TV spots from Discover and Statoil, an energy company in oil and gas production familiar to consumers in Norway.
For Discover, it is a series (known as a pool) of commercials -- centered around the customer service representative, "Peggy":
For Statoil -- it's just a single spot that has not only an "aha!" moment, but leave us with a "I have been there, " compassion -- not unlike Discover.
Both of these examples let the humor last. It's not a one time joke so you can see the commercials time and time again and continue to appeciate the human condition they exemplify. The "I've been there" component makes the message that much more personal, real and relevant. And ideally remembered -- when you think of these brands.

? That is totally inappropriate comment Brendan, wht would you say that? As I was reading her article, I was thinking this is interesting, I hope it turns into a series. I can't judge if she is a professional writer, I am not a teacher. I just go by how a story affects me. I liked this one. I judge it a good story. I'd like to see more.
February 02, 2013 at 07:03 AM
"That is totally inappropriate comment Brendan, wht would you say that?"]
Because it is a true statement. It is not inappropriate. Not at all. I am pointing out that someone who intends to appear intelligent has not done the requisite work to condescend to me.
You can't write either. You argue with words like English is a toy gun. I enjoy watching you both fumble with the plastic, oiled, slippery pieces as publicly educated (especially older) women often do. You're a busy-body, a know-it-all, yet, have done zero in your life to understand how to wield language to your advantage.
Sad, Bobbie, sad.
But far from inappropriate. Simply stating the obvious.

I didn't think his comment warranted a response - esp since it is easy to view all the posts he has made on Patch, and all he seems to do is complain about unrelated things. If he wants to have an audience, he should write his own article, rather than souring someone else's.
looking forward to reading more of your articles Lauren.

I agree with most of the review, this is much more of a plum-black than an actual violet color. I swatched it evely on my end and it has a black base with plum shimmer. On the eyes it just looks like a soft black. If you are aware of it this is by no means a bad product, but when you expect a purple liner this is upsetting. For 9$ a gram I expected more.
I've been hunting for a nice violet gel liner for a while to compliment my everyday eyeshadow look of MAC Trax and Urban Decay Sin. Lots of online research led me to buy Violet Ink from Bobbi Brown. I'm not impressed with the formula, compared to YSL's and MAC's gel liners it's not as smooth to work with, and not as pigmented either. The Violet shade is actually bordering on purple-black, which isn't what I wanted. I also found it hard to apply to my waterline, which I never have trouble doing with YSL or MAC fluidlines. It's not matte, nor shimmer, I'd say it has a Satin finish. Wouldn't repurchase.
More reviews by TheSilverSnowflake
Violet Ink was the first Bobbi Brown product I ever bought, and it was my first experience with gel liner. One of my etiquette books recommended gel eyeliner for bridal make-up, and after doing a ton of research, the Bobbi Brown was the best option I found. It's a little pricy, but I've had mine for over two years now, and about half of the package is still left, so it's one of those things I don't mind splurging on. My bridal look was lavender/purple eyeshadow, to accent my violet contacts, and the Violet Ink did a nice job complimenting it. I saw several people who said it had a nice shimmer to it, and for me, at least, it does - on the back of my hand and in the pot. On my eyes, it looks a bit matte, possibly in the satin range. The purple tone is a little subtle, but I don't mind that. It's still softer than your basic matte black, and not as "average" as brown. In regards to the eyeliner itself, not just the color, there is a clear learning curve. It took me a handful of brushes (literally) to find one that gave me a neat line, and that was the flat eyeliner brush from Avon. (It's a squared off, thin tip. I press one long side of the tip into the pot, then run that edge along my waterline, and press the very tip into my lashline for everyday, daytime wear.) But even still, I kept finding that, without a ton of smudge work, it looked like crayon (kind of splotchy) until someone told me to wet the brush before applying! I've read/watched dozens of tutorials, and no one ever recommended that! Now it works like magic. It's more precise than my pencils, and stays put for a MINIMUM of 12 hours on my lashline. (Usually 24-36, if I don't wash it off.) About 8-12 is the norm for my waterline. I've tried a few other gel liners now, and the only one that came close to this is the Maybelline Eyestudio, which I have in Forest. If you don't have the money for BB, or are just starting out with gels, try the Eyestudio first. (They only have three or four colors, however.) I'm picking up a few more BBs soon. I wish they had more than just the one purple tone, though!

I have this gel liner in black ink, espresso ink, and violet ink. I LOVE love love the black and espresso colours but this colour was a bit disappointing. Unlike the black and espresso which only need one swipe to get pigmented day-long-wear colour and definition, the violet doesn't come out as pigmented. When applied on top of eyeshadow (neutral, nothing dramatic), the line barely shows up.
I've been a big fan of cake liner and cream liner, so I thought I'd try this. It shows up as sort of a smokey purple -- if I put more on the color is more intense, but I wish it were a more vivid shade of violet. Still, it makes my green eyes pop pretty good.
Although the liner on my top lid lasts all day, the liner on the lower lid smears, and no one needs that so I downgraded it to 3 lippies.
More reviews by artemistzitzikilakis
The color in the pot and in pictures is misleading big time. It in no way looks this purple on your lids and is too light for me, though I will keep it.
I have tried all gel liners I think: Stila, Lancome, Tarte, Buxom, etc. and Bobbi Brown really has it, the performance, perfected. You would think a cream would go on like any other cream, but not so. I use the Sephora IT brush and this somehow just doesn't clump on the brush like others. I don't know how they do it, but just the right amount goes on the brush using the same technique as other lid gels.
This is a really nice eyeliner. It stays ALL DAY and is such a perfect colour. It's great for me because it isn't too bright for everyday and is a more fun softer version of black to wear everyday especially for fair people with reasonably pale colouring. It is really easy to apply and is nice and creamy to apply. This makes your eyes look amazing and i would definitely recomend it to absolutely anyone
I like the soft, almost mousse like quality of this eyeliner and find it softer to apply than the MAC gel liners. However, it dries quicker and is harder to smudge for a softer look as you have to be so quick!
The colour was also disappointing as there is no discernable violet on me even when teamed with mauve eyeshadows. Maybe I will have to try a second coat as some reviewers suggested - but I never have to do this with MAC liners!
I will use up this pot as it is easy to use, and stays all day with no problem at all, I'm just disappointed in the colour and the sheerness of the product. I'll probably try another in the range sometime though as the consistency and staying power is very good, but I won't be rebuying in this colour.
I have been a big fan of BB for many years and have even finished and replaced a few shades of her long-wear gel eyeliner (love espresso); however, this particular shade was a disappointment. I had to layer and layer AND layer to get the color to really show up. I "eventually" liked the purple tint, but c'mon, I shouldn't have to go over and over the same line 5x to be able to see it. I could have achieved this look more quickly by using the espresso gel liner topped with a quick swipe of MAC Violet pigment. I ended up returning this product.

Bobbi Brown's inks are a steal. They last you over a year and that is with everyday use. I have been using Violet Ink for several years. Application glides on smoothly never tugging which makes them extremely gentle on the eyes. They have long sustaining power and will last the day long. The BB eye liner brush is a bit pricey a GREAT alternative is from CVS--Essence of Beauty liner brush. It comes in a duo but 1/3 the price.

Decent hotel. However, they should let you know when you book your room that the hotel is closed for a few hours in the afternoon. When we arrived, it was closed so we could not check in. We had to find something to do until it opened again. Very inconvenient.

Football and Lacrosse: It's the shoes
Jon Brand - 1/22/2008
I know this is, like, the 132nd post on football and lacrosse this month, but I think we can safely put this stuff to bed after next week.
Now that the end of the NFL season is upon is, that means one thing – the Pro Bowl is just weeks away.
How does that relate to lacrosse? Well, aside from Pat Kerney, an '08 Pro Bowl selection, the NLL actually has a vested interest in this contest – or at least the equipment used in it.
When I was out in Denver a couple of weeks ago for the NLL opening night, I spotted Dan Carey, Jim Moss, Gavin Prout, and some other Mammoth players wearing red Reeboks with a floral pattern on them (SEE ABOVE PHOTO).
I'd forgotten about it until Friday night, when I was talking with one of Reebok's cleat designers at the Wings game in Philly.
He mentioned that Reebok makes five or six pairs of Pro Bowl shoes for each NFL player attending, and the ones they don't use get sent to other Reebok ventures, like the NLL.
The folks at Reebok also make turf shoes specifically for the NLL, he told me, it's just that some of the players apparently like the NFL models better.

Chad Dyer, of Springfield Armory's marketing department, said the recall applies to all .45 caliber and 9 mm XD-S pistols manufactured up to the time of the recall. Company officials aren't talking about how many pistols will have to be repaired, but a review of the serial number ranges affected suggests as many as 225,000 guns may be involved.
The .45 caliber XD-S was one of the smallest and slimmest .45 semi-automatics available when first released in early 2012, and was immediately popular with shooters and law enforcement officers. More than a dozen deputies with the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department, as well as Sheriff Johnny Rutherford, bought the small pistols as backups to their Springfield XD service pistols.
The gun was later also released in 9 mm.
For more information on the recall, visit Springfield Armory's website, www.springfield-armory.com.
Reese said XD-S pistols would be shipped back to their owners with a free magazine.

Western NY
Before the speech, Lt. Governor Robert Duffy spoke about the West Webster firefighters killed in the Christmas Eve ambush.
Lt. Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kackowza were shot and killed as they responded to a fire at a home on Lake Road.
"They were both taken from us far too soon and both of these men epitomize what the term a true public servant is all about. Our first responders are true heroes as they run toward danger to keep our families and communities safe," said Duffy.
The families of Mike Chiapperini and Tomasa Kaczowka were in Albany on Wednesday. Governor Andrew Cuomo honored the firefighters and presented the State flag to Mike Chiapperini's wife, mother and son, and the parents of Tomasz Kaczowka. They were also joined by the Webster Police Chief and Chief of the West Webster Fire Department.
Duffy said flags are flying at half staff in honor of the firefighters.

Organotin chemistry
Organotin compounds or stannanes are chemical compounds based on tin with hydrocarbon substituents. Organotin chemistry is part of the wider field of organometallic chemistry.[1] The first organotin compound was diethyltin diiodide ((C2H5)2SnI2 , ref to. Tin), discovered by Edward Frankland in 1849. An organotin compound is commercially applied as a hydrochloric acid scavenger (or heat stabilizer) in polyvinyl chloride and as a biocide. Tributyltin oxide has been extensively used as a wood preservative. Tributyltin compounds are used as marine anti-biofouling agents. Concerns over toxicity[2] of these compounds (some reports describe biological effects to marine life at a concentration of 1 nanogram per liter) have led to a worldwide ban by the International Maritime Organization. n-Butyltin trichloride is used in the production of tin dioxide layers on glass bottles by chemical vapor deposition.
Structure of organotin compounds[edit]
Organotin compounds are generally classified according to their oxidation states. Tin(IV) compounds are much more common and more useful.
Organic derivatives of tin(IV)[edit]
The entire series R4−nSnCln are known for many R groups and values of n up to 4. Analogous derivatives are known for other halides. Alkoxide and carboxylate derivatives however tend to associate and often poorly characterized. The oxides are also complicated. Many diorganotin oxides, (R2SnO)n are oligomeric:
With bulky R groups, diorganotin oxides adopt cyclic trimeric or dimeric structures consisting of Sn3O3 and Sn2O2 rings, respectively.
Hypercoordinated stannanes[edit]
Unlike their carbon(IV) analogues but like silicon compounds, tin(IV) can also be coordinated to five and even six atoms instead of the regular four. These hypercoordinated compounds usually have electronegative substituents. Lithium pentaorganostannates were first detected and characterized in solution in 1986,[3] while in the subsequent year a six-coordinated tetraorganotin compound was reported.[4] In 2007 a crystal structure of room-temperature stable (in argon) all-carbon pentaorganostannane was reported as the lithium salt with this structure:[5]
In this distorted trigonal bipyramidal structure the carbon to tin bond lengths (2.26 Å apical, 2.17 Å equatorial) are larger than regular C-Sn bonds (2.14 Å) reflecting its hypervalent nature.
Tin radicals (organic derivatives of tin(III))[edit]
Tin radicals, with the formula R3Sn, are called stannyl radicals.[6] They are invoked as intermediates in certain atom-transfer reactions. For example, tributyltin hydride (tri-n-butylstannane) serves as a good source of "hydrogen atoms" because of the stability of the tributytin radical.[7]
Organic derivatives of tin(II)[edit]
Organotin(II) compounds are somewhat rare. Compounds with the empirical formula SnR2 are somewhat fragile and exist as rings or polymers when R is not bulky. The polymers are called polystannanes and have the formula (SnR2)n.
In principle divalent tin compounds might be expected to form analogues of alkenes with a formal double bond. Indeed compounds with the formula Sn2R4, called distannenes, are known for certain organic substituents. The Sn centres tend to be highly pyramidal. Monomeric compounds with the formula SnR2, analogues of carbenes are also known in a few cases. One example is [Sn(SiR3]2 where R = CH(SiMe3)2 (Me = methyl). Such species reversibly dimerize to the distannylene upon crystallization:[8]
- 2 R2Sn (R2Sn)2
Stannenes, compounds with tin–carbon double bonds, are exemplified by derivatives of stannabenzene. Stannoles, structural analogs of cyclopentadiene, exhibit little C-Sn double bond character.
Organic derivatives of tin(I)[edit]
Compounds of Sn(I) are rare and only observed with very bulky ligands. One prominent family of cages is accessed by pyrolysis of the 2,6-diethylphenyl-substituted tristannylene [Sn(C6H3-2,6-Et2)2]3, which affords the cubane and a prismane. These cages contain Sn(I) and have the formula [Sn(C6H3-2,6-Et2)]n where n = 8, 10.[9] A stannyne contains a carbon to tin triple bond and a distannyne a triple bond between two tin atoms (RSnSnR). Distannynes only exist for extremely bulky substituents. Unlike alkynes, the C-Sn-Sn-C core of these distannynes are nonlinear, although they are planar. The Sn-Sn distance is 3.066(1) Å, and the Sn-Sn-C angles are 99.25(14)°. Such compounds are prepared by reduction of bulky aryltin(II) halides.[10]
Preparation of organotin compounds[edit]
Organotin compounds can be synthesised by reaction of a Grignard reagent with tin halides for example tin tetrachloride. An example is the organic synthesis of tributyl-[(Z)-5-phenyl-2-penten-2-yl]stannane:[11][12]
The Wurtz-like coupling of alkyl sodium compounds with tin halides yield tetraorganotin compounds. Another method is an redistribution reaction of tin halides with organoaluminium compounds (AlR3). Triorganotin halides can be prepared in the Kocheshkov redistribution reaction.
Reactions of organotin compounds[edit]
Important reactions involving organotin compounds are the Stille reaction (coupling reaction with sp2-hybridized organic halides catalyzed by palladium):
and organostannane additions (nucleophilic addition of an allyl-, allenyl-, or propargylstannanes to an aldehydes and imines). Organotin compounds are also used extensively in radical chemistry (e.g. radical cyclizations, Barton–McCombie deoxygenation, Barton decarboxylation, etc.).
Use and toxicity[edit]
- Tetraorganotins are very stable molecules with low toxicity and low biological activity. They are unusable as biocides, but they can be metabolized to toxic triorganotin compounds. They are used as starting materials for catalysts.
- Triorganotins are very toxic. Tri-n-alkyltins are phytotoxic and therefore cannot be used in agriculture. Depending on the organic groups, they can be powerful bactericides and fungicides. Tributyltins are used as industrial biocides, e.g. as antifungal agents in textiles and paper, wood pulp and paper mill systems, breweries, and industrial cooling systems. Tributyltins are also used in marine anti-fouling paint. Triphenyltins are used as active components of antifungal paints and agricultural fungicides. Other triorganotins are used as miticides and acaricides.
- Diorganotins have no antifungal activity, low toxicity, and low antibacterial activity, except for diphenyltins. They are used in polymer manufacturing, as PVC heat stabilizers, catalysts, in the manufacturing of polyurethane and silicone curing. DBT is however immunotoxic, and a recent paper suggests a link to auto-immune related diseases.[13]
- Monoorganotins have no biocidal activity and their toxicity to mammals is very low. Methyltin, butyltin, octyltin and monoestertins are used as PVC heat stabilizers.
- Many different organotin complexes are being studied in anticancer therapy, observing that their cytotoxicity and selectivity towards cancer cell is higher than that of cisplatin.[14]
Organotin compounds are used commercially in a wide range of applications such as biocides, insecticides, chemical intermediates and as catalysts.
Tetrabutyltin starting material for the di- and tributyl compounds
Tributyltin oxide, a colorless to pale yellow liquid used in wood preservation
Triphenyltin acetate, an off-white crystalline solid, used as an insecticide and a fungicide
Triphenyltin chloride, a white crystalline solid, used as a biocide and an intermediate in chemical synthesis
Trimethyltin chloride also a biocide
Triphenyltin hydroxide, an off-white powder, used as a fungicide and to sterilize insects
Azocyclotin, a colorless crystalline solid, used as a long-acting acaricide for control of spider mites on plants
Hexamethylditin used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis
Tetraethyltin, boiling point 63–65° /12 mm is a catalyst[15]

Student experiences: USPP Summer bridge blogs
Please read the blogs kept by the first class of USPP summer bridge students as they explored UVM and Burlington.
Housing and Meals
Housing and Meals during Summer Bridge Program
Designated residence hall
All USPP students will be staying in University Heights South for the duration of the Summer Bridge program. University Heights South is on UVM's Athletic Campus, just minutes from UVM's athletic facilities and the Harris-Millis Dining Hall.
University Heights South is a traditional residence hall. You will be assigned to a double-occupancy room, approximately 3.5 meters x 4.7 meters in size. Your room will contain two beds, two desks, two chairs, two dressers, and two wardrobes. We will provide your bed with sheets, a pillowcase, a blanket and a comforter. Take a virtual tour of a typical double-occupancy room.
Every two rooms in University Heights South share a bathroom. Bathrooms are cleaned regularly by UVM's housekeeping staff.
You will be assigned a roommate from the USPP program for the duration of the Summer Bridge program.
The Harris-Millis Dining Hall will be your primary dining facility during the Summer Bridge program. Harris-Millis is just minutes from University Heights, and is open for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
There is a community kitchen on the first floor of University Heights South that you will be able to use to prepare your own meals.
Cost for Summer Housing & Meals
The cost of your residence hall room and dining hall meals is included in your fee for the Summer Bridge program.
Housing after Summer Bridge
Your residence hall room for the fall semester will be determined during the Summer Bridge program. You will be presented with several residence hall and meal plan options, and you will fill out a Housing & Meal Plan Contract in which you will indicate your preferences. You will be notified of your fall semester housing assignment via your UVM e-mail account in mid-August. Assignments will be made based on your preferences, although UVM cannot guarantee your first choice of residence halls. USPP students will be guaranteed on-campus housing for the duration of their stay at UVM, provided you do not 'give up their space' by moving off campus.
Living Off Campus
All University of Vermont students are required to live on campus during their first and sophomore years. As a USPP student, you will be required to live on campus your sophomore year, which is your first year at UVM. You may choose to find off-campus housing after your first year at UVM. About off-campus living.
Students will move to the fall housing at the end of the Summer Bridge program.
