2013 College of Business Economics Undergraduate Honoree Sydney Ryan
News + Events : 2013 College of Business Economics Undergraduate Honoree Sydney Ryan
The College of Business congratulates and extends best wishes to each of the ten undergraduate honorees of the graduating Class of 2013.
Each year the department's top performers are selected by the college's academic departments from its graduating seniors.
2013 College of Business Economics Undergraduate Honoree
Sydney Ryan
In many ways, Sydney is a prototypical San Francisco State University student. Upon graduation from community college, she could not immediately financially afford to attend a four year college. She worked over 50 hours of week for years to save enough money and to provide for her family's income.
What differentiates Sydney from our other students is her performance. Her GPA doesn't even begin to demonstrate her true abilities. One of our faculty wrote the following about her: "Sydney is hands down one of the best students I ever had in the last 6 and a half years at San Francisco State. What really caught my attention is the quality of her work, the effort that she puts in answering every single question, her motivation, and curiosity." Other faculty are unanimous in echoing this evaluation.
Sydney has also contributed to the department, college, and university in a number of ways. She has been active in the Economics Student Association, she has served as a grader for our lower pision classes, and she has been a research assistant for our faculty. Her research abilities were so strong that she was asked to help present Professor Chattopadyay's economic impact analysis of San Francisco State University to President Wong and his staff this semester.
She is also last year's recipient of the department's Ramona K. First Award given to outstanding undergraduates.
Sydney is also extremely motivated in continuing her studies to serve the public good. In her application for the Ramona K First Award, she wrote: "From the very first introductory economic class that I took, I was inspired by the effects of economic theories and analysis in public policy and the applications of economics to daily life… I truly believe in the importance of the impact that economists can make in people's lives. For this reason, after I receive my bachelor's degree in Economics from SF State, I plan to pursue graduate studies in Law and Economics and eventually follow a career path in public service." Ms. Ryan has been accepted to law school and will start classes at Boalt Hall at the University of California, Berkeley next year.
Ms. Ryan has demonstrated ability that puts her into a select group of our students that have gone onto graduates schools in law, economics, and public policy. She is committed to doing public policy in the future. We are certain that she will be extremely successful in a public policy career.

Faith stirs Isaiah to persevere toward turnaround season
CARTERSVILLE, Ga. (BP) -- For most of this season Isaiah Ross and the rest of the Woodland High School football team faced plenty of obstacles, with the first six games scheduled against the best in their region.
A 27-3 loss to Villa Rica High School the first week of their season would be their best outcome. The Wildcats would go on to be outscored 206-0 during their next five Friday nights. A 49-0 loss Sept. 20 ensured Woodland its 15th year of not having a winning season in 16 years of existence.
"It was tough," acknowledges Ross, a senior at Woodland High School and member of Burnt Hickory Baptist Church in Powder Springs, Ga. "I was struggling and down on myself."
Things hit a low point Sept. 27 against North Paulding High School. Primarily a linebacker, Ross had moonlighted in the Wildcat offense as a blocking fullback. Against North Paulding he barely came off the field and carried the ball more in order to provide an offensive spark.
A win would have been a long shot against the 3-1 Wolfpack, but it would have been equally as important for Woodland to finally score its first touchdown of the year, albeit a month into the season.
Neither happened, as the Wolfpack pummeled the Wildcats 56-0.
"Of course, I wanted us to win in those first games," Ross says. "I wanted to have a winning season."
That goal was no longer possible. Still, this was a team Ross saw as better than its record indicated. Losing had become contagious and so was the resulting self-perception. As the team's leader, Ross wasn't about to allow that to fester. There was still something to play for, he says.
"As those games went on, I wanted us to be about getting better and competing."
In other words, to never give up.
A place to grow
A few years ago, Jon Vernon, an assistant football coach at Woodland, took note of Ross, an 8th grader at the time from South Central Middle School -- which fed into Woodland High School. Ross participated in drills with the varsity. Ross' physical skills were apparent enough, but something else caught Vernon's attention.
"Isaiah has a glowing personality and is always smiling. People are naturally drawn to him," Vernon says. "What I saw about him, though, was his spiritual maturity."
Ross says that maturity began to develop early in his life. "I was saved in the fourth grade, but lived for myself. For a long time I wasn't growing as a Christian."
When Ross was in the seventh grade, he and his 12 siblings were placed under the care of the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) and were divided up among several foster homes. That time would have been tough for any kid dealing with his middle school years, but the concept of "family" is important to Ross, who describes himself as a protector, particularly of his sisters.
That summer Ross went to a church camp, where "God showed [him] a lot of things."

SBC entities defend ministerial housing allowance; judge's ruling heads to appeal
WASHINGTON (BP) -- The Southern Baptist Convention's religious freedom and financial benefits entities both
"The clergy housing allowance isn't a government establishment of religion, but just the reverse."
Russell D. Moore
expressed their opposition to a federal court ruling invalidating the ministerial housing allowance. The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) and GuideStone Financial Resources protested a Nov. 22 decision by federal Judge Barbara Crabb that struck down the portion of a 1954 federal law that allows clergy to exclude for federal income tax purposes a portion or all of their gross income as a housing allowance.

Week one of touring is off to a …start…
We have already completed 7 shows (8 by tomorrow), had 4 successful class room chats from us first-timers, 3 fake air plane crashes, 3 wrong turns, 2 artfully executed 187 point turns in a Penske, and an airplane in a pear tree? Not to mention a record setting less-than-25 minute set up!
We have been delighted by the ooh's and aah's of children from Scio to The Dalles with Belcore's plane crash into a tree accompanied by the squeals of delight over Dr. Dulcamara's bubble blowing cart.
We have been to a total of seven schools, thus far, starting with Beaver Acres Elementary followed that day by a completely delightful time at the Oregon Children's Theatre for a "sing & chat" with some young(-er) artists! On Tuesday we took on an Indiana Jones Adventure (at least that's the theme I was singing in my head) as we wound up narrow two-lane roads, only to find them closed... and where I witnessed Alexis execute those two 187 point turns mentioned above, on our way up to St.Thomas More school. We followed that up with the Franciscan Montessori Earth School where we were delighted to have the help of a new friend, Johannes, from Germany! With the bright and early call of 5:15 a.m. on Wednesday morning, we made a trek to The Dalles. The beautiful drive home made it all worth it. We had a show at Dry Hollow Elementary and the Mosier Community School. This was a big day for us POGO newbie's as we had one on one time with the students. This is a time where all 6 of us are each sent to a classroom where we give a crash course on opera and they can ask questions. In case you were curious what they ask, here are some typical, and not so typical, questions… When did you start singing? What is your favourite opera? How high can you sing? Are you married? (followed by…) Are you single? (followed by…) Is he "someone special"? and Can you throat sing? Day 4 brought us to Lourdes Public Charter School, and Scio Middle School. Lourdes gave us a chance to try the show out in a very intimate setting with a nice Q&A afterwards, in contrast with Scio which was an older group of students, with whom the timing and feel of the show changed as we played to the more mature group. Another beautiful drive home with the sun shining. Today we really seem to be getting the hang of things without too many surprises.
We are having a wonderful time but I look forward to Saturday off. We will pick up again on Sunday with our first real tour road trip to the coast for a week of fun!

I was taught at school that when wanting to mean that "I want to go to the market for shopping", one should say "I want to go to market." Is this a valid expression or is it a common error.

Good point about the sellers. We do take our goods to market. In your opinion, is that "to market" an infinitive or a prepositional phrase"? :wink:Originally Posted by tdol

Child discipline is an integral part of child-rearing that teaches children self-control and acceptable behaviour. Violent discipline, on the other hand, is intended to cause a child physical pain or emotional distress as a way to correct misbehaviour and to act as a deterrent. The consequences of violent discipline range from immediate effects to long-term damage that children carry well into adulthood. Moreover, research findings suggest that even mild forms of physical discipline are harmful to children. While relatively little is known about how parents discipline their children, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, household surveys in 49 countries suggest that the use of violent discipline is widespread, among both boys and girls.
Violent discipline can take two forms: physical (or corporal) punishment and psychological aggression. The effects vary according to the nature, extent and severity of the exposure.
Violent forms of discipline have been shown to reduce cognitive capacity and increase the proclivity for future violent acts. Violent psychological discipline – such as denigration, ridicule, threats and intimidation – has also been shown to have a range of negative effects on children's behaviour and functioning later in life. In particular, exposure to prolonged, severe or unpredictable stress can physiologically alter brain development during infancy and childhood and affect a child's physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. Violent disciplinary practices – including both physical punishment and harsh psychological discipline – can therefore be viewed as forms of maltreatment, with serious repercussion for both the individual and society.
Violent discipline is also a violation of a child's right to protection from all forms of violence while in the care of their parents or other caregivers, as set forth in articles 5 and 19 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention recognizes and respects the responsibility of parents and other caregivers to provide "direction and guidance" to children. There is, however, the explicit understanding that such guidance should not involve any form of violence. The Committee on the Rights of the Child has stated that the "interpretation of 'appropriate' direction and guidance must be consistent with the whole Convention and leaves no room for justification of violent or other cruel or degrading forms of discipline."
Despite a legal framework prohibiting it and known detrimental effects, violent discipline within the family is one of the most common forms of child maltreatment.
Data from 49 countries and areas show that large proportions of children are subjected to violent discipline in the home and that its use is pervasive across regions. In 13 of the 49 countries, the use of violent discipline is nearly universal: Household surveys found that more than 90 per cent of children between the ages of 2 and 14 years had experienced some form of violent discipline within the previous month.
Notes: Data for Kyrgyzstan refer to children aged 3 to 14 years. Data for Belarus differ from the standard definition.
Source: UNICEF global databases, 2014, based on Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) and other nationally representative surveys, 2005─2012.
All children, regardless of their sex or family background, are at risk of being subjected to violent disciplinary practices. This is confirmed by data showing that boys and girls are equally likely to be disciplined in a violent manner in almost all countries with very high prevalence levels.
Source: UNICEF global databases, 2014, based on DHS, MICS and other nationally representative surveys, 2006─2012.
Understanding adult beliefs about the best ways to bring up a child are essential to interpreting the prevalence of child discipline. The data suggest that a relatively small share of adults believe in the need to use physical punishment to properly raise and educate a child. Nevertheless, high rates of violent discipline recorded in most countries suggest that physical punishment is used in many households, even when caregivers do not necessarily believe in the practice.
Notes: * data refer to the attitudes of mothers/primary caregivers. **data refer to children aged 2-14 years whose mother/primary caregiver thinks that physical punishment is necessary to raise/educate children. Data for all other countries refer to the attitudes of respondents to the child discipline module.
Source: UNICEF global databases, 2014, based on DHS, MICS and other nationally representative surveys, 2005-2012.
Comparable data on child discipline are mainly available from Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS). The MICS include a standard set of questions covering different disciplinary methods, including nonviolent forms of discipline, psychological aggression and physical means of punishing children. The child discipline module was included for the first time in the third round of MICS (MICS3, mainly conducted in 2005─2006). Data on child discipline collected through MICS were available for 43 countries as of January 2014. Some Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and other national household surveys have also collected the standard, or modified, versions of the MICS child discipline module.
The child discipline module used in MICS is adapted from the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scale (CTSPC),[1] which is an epidemiological instrument used to assess the treatment of children. Psychological aggression refers to the action of shouting, yelling or screaming at a child, as well as calling a child offensive names, such as 'dumb' or 'lazy'. Physical (or corporal) punishment is an action intended to cause physical pain or discomfort, but not injuries. Physical punishment is defined as shaking the child, hitting or slapping him/her on the hand/arm/leg, hitting him/her on the bottom or elsewhere on the body with a hard object, spanking or hitting him/her on the bottom with a bare hand, hitting or slapping him/her on the face, head or ears, and beating him/her over and over as hard as possible.
The nonviolent disciplinary practices included in the child discipline module are: 1) explaining why a behaviour is wrong, 2) taking away privileges or not allowing him/her to leave the house, and 3) giving him/her something else to do. Respondents are also asked whether they believe it is necessary to use physical punishment to raise children.
When it was first implemented in MICS3, the child discipline module was administered only to mothers/primary caregivers, who were asked whether any of the disciplinary methods covered in the module had been used by any member of the household during the month preceding the interview. Beginning with MICS4, the methodology was changed: Any adult household member, not just the mother or primary caregiver, can now respond to the questions on child discipline. This means that data on child discipline collected in MICS3 are not directly comparable with data collected in subsequent rounds for any given country.
In the third and fourth rounds of MICS, the standard indicator referred to the percentage of children aged 2 to 14 years who experienced any form of violent discipline (physical punishment and/or psychological aggression) within the past month. Beginning with the latest round of MICS (MICS5, to be completed by 2015), the age group covered was expanded to capture children's experiences with disciplinary practices between the ages of 1 and 14 years.
MICS surveys have a standardized module on child discipline.

A word to our athletes and their handlers
AFTER the extraordinary success in London and at the previous Olympics in Beijing four years ago, very young Jamaicans can be forgiven for thinking their country has always been a dominant medal-winning force at major games.
Truth is, there have been long periods of severe drought for Jamaican athletics. Just to dramatise the point, Mr Donald Quarrie's Gold medal at the 1976 Olympics was the first of that revered colour for Jamaica since 1952 — 24 years earlier.
It's useful to reflect that there were no Olympic medals whatsoever for Jamaica at the Olympics of 1956 or in 1964. There were three Bronze medals in 1960, but in that year Jamaica competed as part of the short-lived West Indies Federation.
It's equally useful to reflect that Ms Merlene Ottey's Bronze in 1980 in Moscow was the first Olympic medal for a Jamaican woman. And that when Ms Deon Hemmings took Gold in Atlanta in 1996 she became the first Jamaican woman to win an Olympic Gold and the first Jamaican to do so since Mr Quarrie in '76.
Among the sceptics, who now accuse Jamaican athletics of drug taint, are those who point to the years of 'famine' to argue that the success in recent years has been too sudden for a country with so limited resources.
And yet, as was pointed out in this space yesterday, this newspaper and indeed many Jamaicans believe that it is the much improved levels of efficiency in drug testing, over the last decade especially, that has allowed our athletes to now show their true worth on the international stage.
To quote yesterday's editorial "had the playing field been level many years ago, our dominance would have been felt earlier. For certainly, sprinters like Ms Merlene Ottey, Ms Juliet Cuthbert, Ms Grace Jackson, and Mr Raymond Stewart would have acquired more medals had they been competing against 'clean' athletes".
We strongly believe that extraordinary athletic talent, fine coaches, and Jamaica's powerful track culture have combined to produce world beaters such as Messrs Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Mrs Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Mrs Veronica Campbell Brown. We contend that rigorous drug testing down the years, all over the world, has repeatedly proven these and many others of our athletic heroes to be drug free.
This is not to say that Jamaican athletes have not tested positive for banned substances. Only last year there was the unfortunate case of USbased Mr Steve Mullings who tested positive for a masking agent, having also tested for testosterone in 2004.
Crucially, there have also been cases of rank carelessness. Mr Blake and Mrs Fraser-Pryce suffered as a result. Readers will recall that in 2009 Mr Blake, then 19, tested positive for a banned stimulant contained in an energy drink, and in 2010, Mrs Fraser-Pryce fell afoul of the drug testers after taking a pain killer which contained a banned substance.
The drug testing authorities have repeatedly made it clear that there can be no excuses: That athletes must take responsibility for whatever enters their bodies.
As the track and field world, including those pointing fingers once again, turn the microscope on Jamaica because of the country's athletic success, it is imperative that our athletes and their handlers remain on their Ps and Qs in order to remain clean. They cannot afford looseness or carelessness.

After months of high unemployment and a still-wobbly economy, any good news from the jobs market is going to get some traction. But even that doesn't seem to fully explain the attention surrounding a suddenly very "in" job title: data scientist.
According to CNN, data scientist is one of the best new jobs of 2012, and an article in the Harvard Business Review called it the "sexiest" job of the 21st century.

Just one play later, those dreams were as good as dashed.
Jemarcus Brown raced 59 yards for a touchdown on the very first snap of the third quarter and tacked on two more second-half scoring scampers to lead the Tornadoes to an overwhelming 38-22 victory over the No. 3 Bulldogs on Friday night.
Brown, who also reached the end zone on a pair of runs in the opening quarter, finished with 26 carries for 258 rushing yards. A whopping 177 of those came on his five TDs, which covered 53, 11, 59, 3 and 47 yards.
"That's what we preached all week — if we can tackle, we can win. We just weren't able to tackle well enough to win," Addison coach David Smothers said. "He's (Brown) not as physical as I thought he was, but he's just so shifty."
The Bulldogs (9-2) grabbed an early ounce of momentum when Kaleb Estill recovered a fumble on Pickens County's first play of the ballgame. They gave it away in a hurry, though, coughing up the ball on the ensuing snap to set up Brown's first sprint for six points.
It was only once the score reached 14-0 in the Tornadoes' favor that Addison started to play the smash-mouth style of football its faithful fans have to come to know and love over the years.
Following a 23-yard kickoff return by Taylor Wilson, Kyle Denson began the Bulldogs' fourth possession with a 23-yard sprint of his own up the middle. Kolby Kirk did most of the heavy lifting from there, sandwiching 20 rushing yards between an 11-yard pass from John Everett to Kurtis Robinson. Franky Melson finished off the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run, and Denson plowed through for the two-point conversion to cut the deficit to 14-8.
And Denson wasn't done.
After picking off a third-down pass, the junior made the most of the turnover on the other side of the ball, refusing to go down on a gutsy, 16-yard TD run. Wilson, who had back-to-back 11-yard carries on the possession, booted through the extra point to put Addison up 15-14, which stood until the halftime break.
The second set of quarters told an entirely different story than the first, however.
Pickens County scored six points on each of its first three drives of the third quarter — the last a 9-yard touchdown pass from Devonte Simon to Steffon Mccoy.
The Bulldogs, meanwhile, weren't able to answer in each instance, turning the ball over on downs in successive trips.
Addison's lone touchdown in the second half came on a 4-yard run from Melson. The key play on the possession was a 41-yard strike from Wilson to Estill on a fake punt deep in Bulldog territory.
Simon wrapped up the evening 15 of 25 through the air for 150 yards to go along with 31 rushing yards and a late interception. Deonte Simon was the Tornadoes' leading receiver with four catches for 43 yards.
Wilson was a huge help in every avenue for Addison, rounding up 87 rushing yards on 13 carries, 77 return yards, two successful extra points and the lengthy throw.
Denson chipped in 11 totes for 60 yards, and Kirk contributed 34 rushing yards on three carries before exiting late in the second quarter with an apparent injury to his right leg. Dillon Jarrett filled in with 36 yards on the ground in the second half.
Estill had quite the showing in his final ballgame for the Blue and Gold, recovering a fumble, piling on a pair of tackles for loss and hauling in the 41-yard catch.
Smothers couldn't say enough about all of his seniors following Friday night's second-round contest.
"They're awesome. I love them, every one of them," the second-year coach said. "They've been great leaders all year long. We've had situations all year we could've gotten down. And even tonight, we could've gotten down, but we didn't. We kept fighting. They're just great, great kids, full of character."
Pickens County (12-0) will travel to Ragland, which whooped Brilliant 42-8, next Friday for the third round.

New Wildstock focus: music
Katie Armes
Linfield's annual capstone festival will turn up its emphasis on music May 15 from 4-7 p.m. on the Intramural field. The event will feature two professional bands, jazz musician Jonathan Kingham and the country band Coyote Creek and many student musicians. Linfield clubs and Greek Life will also sponsor a variety of activities.
"We're really excited about it because so rarely do we ever bring country [music] in," former Vice President of Programming senior Kasey Richter said.
The main stage, which is created from an unfolding truck, was brought onto the IM field May 14. Kingham, Coyote Creek and Battle of the Bands winner Na Hemo will play on the stage.
Between the professional sets, student musicians will perform on a side stage. Kappa Sigma Fraternity is responsible for the six-hour set-up and take-down of the setting.
Most of the student musicians, including Tal Edman, Jason Molinaro and The Kickers, are seniors this year.
"It's nice to give them their last hurrah," Richter said.
Wildstock also features free food from Ribslayer, Chan's Chinese Restaurant, Runaway Dog, El Primo Mexican Foods and 3rd Street Pizza. T-Shirts and bags will also be for sale.
"[Wildstock] has gotten a really good reputation during the past two years because we've incorporated the free food into it," Richter said.
While the festival has featured more inflatable games and activities such as mechanical bulls in the past, this year Richter said she decided to focus on music. She said she chose to also combine the events into one day instead of dividing the entertainment over two nights.
"Wildstock always seems to change a little bit every year," Richter said.
Other organizations on campus will supply additional entertainment. The Greenfield club is providing free henna tattoos, Sigma Kappa Phi Sorority will paint faces and S.H.A.P.E. club will bring in an obstacle course from the National Reserves.
Richter said attendance has been steady at about 800 people for the past two years. Although most people in attendance are Linfield students, some people come from the local community.
"We encourage faculty to bring their families if they want to," Richter said.
Richter has been planning Wildstock since the beginning of the semester but faced a last-minute challenge about a week and a half ago when one of the three professional bands she booked for the event dropped out.
"We just decided we weren't going to sweat it," Richter said.
Instead, Na Hemo will play a full 45-minute set on the professional stage to celebrate its title as Battle of the Bands champions.

Sound Universe Ohm Therapeutics Sound Healing: Vibrational Healing With Ohm Tuning Forks Book & DVD
Massage and Polarity Therapists, Spa Technicians, Reiki Practitioners, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Energy Workers, among other health care practitioners, are incorporating Sound Healing into their practices with tuning forks. This Manual and DVD easily demonstrates how individuals of all ages and backgrounds can give and receive treatments and experience the healing attributes and good vibrations of Ohm Tuning Forks. Includes a practical application manual and DVD. Manual has a soft cover and is 88 pages. DVD is 26 minutes long. Tuning forks not included.
Manual features:
DVD demonstrates:
Why Tuning Forks?Disharmony can manifest in the body as stress, tight and sore muscles and fatigue, creating blockages to our chi or natural energy flow. The sound wave created the Ohm Tuning Forks works like kinetic energy to move disharmony and tension from your body, while restoring a sense of well-being. Use Ohm Tuning Forks on tight muscles, joints, tendons, bones and tissue, and on reflex, trigger and acupuncture points.
Ohm Tuning Forks are effective because their vibration activates the natural current or Qi flowing through the body. This current is also known as prana, Ki, bio-energy or life-force. In addition to its ability to activate Qi, a beautiful feature of this system is its sustainability: Ohm Tuning Forks are not dependent upon electricity for use; they will not wear out and need replacing; they do not need to be disposed of after single use; and they provide ease for many therapists in allowing them to access this vital energy in their healing practices.
In Sound Universe's efforts to act as environmentally sound as possible, they have chosen not to color their tuning forks to reduce ecological impact. Both anodizing and painting, which require an additional degreasing process, are toxic to the environment.
At the center of the Ohm Therapeutics system are Music + Tuning Forks in the same healing frequency of Ohm. Sound can be an effective complement to many healing modalities, and combines extremely well with Acupuncture and Acupressure, a wide variety of Massage Therapy techniques, Cranial-Sacral and Polarity Therapies, and also, energy work such as Reiki and EFT. We often hear about professional and home use from those who are incorporating these tools into their Yoga and Ayurvedic healing practices, Art Therapies and Counseling, and as an aid for Meditation.
Underlying this system is a belief in the fundamental healing intelligence of the body, and all living things. Sound Universe has chosen Ohm as their fundamental tone because of its relationship to the Earth, its longevity and ancient use, and because people respond so positively to it. Ohm Therapeutics features the Earth tone of Ohm and its octaves, and provides specific therapeutic applications for use of this universally recognized and sacred sound healing frequency.
OHM THERAPEUTICS™ is a simple and effective method of applying Ohm Tuning Forks and other sound healing tools on the body, including acu-points, trigger and reflex points, bone, muscle, and tendons to help tonify Qi, move stagnant energy and relieve pain.
Sound Universe's modern depiction of the ancient Sanskrit Ohm symbol emphasizes their spiritual connection to the Earth, our home. In Sound Healing, Ohm is an earth tone known for its ability to ground, soothe and balance. Its vibrational frequency is based on the elliptical orbit of the earth as it travels around the sun through four seasons. Tune in to Ohm!

Based in science and spiritually upheld, Ohm is an ancient and sacred tone and mantra celebrated by cultures throughout the world for it healing properties. To resonate with Ohm is to unite with the life-supporting energy of the Earth, which positively affects our biological rhythms and circadian clock. Through sympathetic resonance, we begin to sync and entrain with natural cycles. Aligning with these earth rhythms enables us to find balance.

There were no problems, we were even shown through to the Gold area for Check-in...straight to the front of the line!! And only my 2nd Cruise!!
On board, we booked our dinner for My Time Dining that night & set off to explore.
Hubbie hadn't cruised for 35 years, so he spent the afternoon picking up his jaw...he was gobsmacked at the opulence & fit out of the ship.
Our cabin was on Deck 8...no trouble with smokers nearby this time...unlike my last cruise with RCCL. I still think putting all smokers on 1 side of the ship would eliminate any issues there.
Our cabin attendant was Cindy..a lovely young woman. She was great, stayed out of our way, but managed to have our cabin spotless. We happily gave her an added gratuity at the end of our time.
Our itinerary was reversed, in order to stay clear of the cyclone that went on to do so much damage in Fiji. Captain Claus kept us fully informed of the weather systems, our position & the itinerary as we went. Brilliant.
The food was amazing....My Time Dining was good, we sat with others almost every night we were there, & met some lovely people.
The Windjammer was great, but I got a bit bored with it towards the end of the cruise...having said that, the food was always fresh & warm, with plenty of variety. Hubbie loved the Windjammer!!
the entertainment was fantastic. Liz Layton was wonderful, FABBA were too...I went to both of their shows...coz I could!! The activities on board were well organised & there was a lot of variety. We enjoyed the Trivia which was held every day, but tended to avid the Bingo which was really crowded, especially as the jackpot climbed. A great thrill for the lady who won the $6K...the cost was expensive though...$32 for the 6 cards.
Bobby & Becky were great with their daily tv broadcast & kept us up to date with what was happening around the ship.
Excursions were hugely overpriced if booked with RCCL, but we didn't want to risk being left behind if there was a delay. the Luganville relics tour was good, but certainly not worth more than US$100 per person.
Ports were good, however, Noumea could be missed out altogether & we wouldn't have minded. The Isle of Pines was the stand out, & Champagne Bay was good too, the markets there were outstanding.
Getting off was a tad difficult, with a miscommunication on board seeing our group off, with no luggage available & on the wrong level. We got off & got on again 3 times & then had to wait 30 mins for the bags...hopefully RCCL can sort this sort of thing out for the future..although Circular Quay in Sydney is very small & there were 2500 of us to process off the ship.
All in all...we WILL cruise again with RCCL.
We had the best time & the cruise more than met our expectations, it exceeded them!
One more thing...if you're going to snorkel, & I did, take a noodle with you! Mine was cut down, enough to fit just out from under my arms...it meant that I didn't have to worry about swimming to stay afloat, I could enjoy the underwater world much more comfortably!!!

4.15/5 rDev +3.8%
This was the first of three times where I wholly by accident happened upon a great beer bar in Stockholm.
The instances are very few and far between when I am confronted with beers I have never heard of. Though, admittedly, I am not working so hard at keeping up to date anymore. But having to ask where an American brewery is from while I am at a Swedish bar is...amusing. The load of beers in the three coolers is intense in spots. There are heavy hitters such as Lost Abbey, Mikkeller, Beer Here, Närke (yep...they have THEM), and many, many others. I would have personally enjoyed a greater selection of Swedish draft beers than the 3 or 4 they had on, but what they had on was nice. Närke Örebro Bitter, Nils Oscar Hop Yard, and a couple others. Service was okay. One guy running the whole place, which seems a lot to handle, so I think he was in the mode to handle a lot of business at once. He did, without solicitation, offer much appreciated information about something I ordered. Food was nice. Not sure if the other locations are bringing such a heavy list, but judging on this, it's at least worth taking a look to see.

This is one of handful of locations of The Bishops Arms in Stockholm, it seems there is half a dozen or so. They all seem to have a similar outside facade, and interior likely similar as well, which is kind of similar to The Ginger Man (various U.S. locations). Think lots of wood and dim lighting.
It is a big space with plenty of tables and then a fair amount of space at the bar. For taps, they had 20ish from what I remember, with a lot of Swedish, some Danish and I recall a De Molen too. Meanwhile, their bottle list was impressive, with a good representation of Scandinavian beer, but a lot of U.S. craft beer including hard to get things like FFF Behemoth, Dark Lord, among others. Their service was very good, attentive and friendly from a knowledgeable staff. It is a bit pricey, but this is Stockholm, so surprises in that respect. Would recommend anyone to stop in for a beer.

Organizers of Backyard Blessings are calling the event the Family Festival. It will include musical performances, food, an appearance by Miss Walker County and a kids area with games and inflatables. Performers include Kool Katz, Rick and Jilda Watson and Old Machines. Organizers also plan to have several gospel groups and a bluegrass band.
"We're making it a big community event," said Leneda Jones, executive director of Backyard Blessings.
She said volunteers will also take donations for the local charity at the event.
Each week during the school year, Backyard Blessings volunteers pack bags that are discretely placed in the book bags of students who may be food insecure. The program began in Sumiton Elementary School when it was established three years ago. It now serves children at T.S. Boyd and Dora High School.
Jones said Backyard Blessings volunteers gave out 5,892 bags to 211 students in east Walker County. She said officials with the group are hoping to expand the charity's operations this year.
Backyard Blessings officials also announced that Daily Mountain Eagle Editor James Phillips will be the group's new honorary chairman.
"He has been a supporter of our efforts from the very beginning," Jones said.
Phillips, who was born and raised in Empire, said he was honored by the appointment.
"Backyard Blessings is a tremendous organization," Phillips said. "I've seen their efforts, and I am happy to help."
The Daily Mountain Eagle will also have a food and donation drive for Backyard Blessings throughout the month of July. Organizers asked for individually-wrapped, non-perishable food items that can be prepared for a child.
Anyone interested can bring food items into the Eagle's main office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Monetary donations can be mailed to Backyard Blessings Food Drive, ℅ Daily Mountain Eagle, P.O. Box 1469, Jasper, AL.
For more information about Backyard Blessings, contact Jones at 205-544-9094.

Spring Football has now come and past, and we lay out some of the final thoughts on everyone's mind before gearing up for players-only summer workouts.
Coach Sarkisian loved the effort from his defense on Thursday.
Depth will be key to USC's success this season, and we're already seeing some of it on full display.
Despite many comical attempts, USC held practice on April Fools' Day.
As Steve Sarkisian and the Trojans prepare for their second practice, we take a look at how things are playing out surrounding some of our key questions heading into the week.
We take a closer look at some of the biggest story lines heading into Spring Football.
No position better embodies the competition mantra than the emerging depth USC has in the secondary heading into Tuesday's Spring practice.

Friday Five: Things That Need to be Changed at Ranger Home Games
1) Stop chanting "Potvin Sucks" a thousand times of game
Folks, this cheer has been around since the early 80's when Denis Potvin nailed Ulf Nielson and knocked him out of the 1979 playoffs. Yes, it was a cheap hit and yes, Potvin deserves the wrath of Blueshirt fanatics but enough is enough. Ranger fans chant "Potvin Sucks" at least 10 times a game and what's more, they do it every single game, not just when they are playing the New York Islanders or the Florida Panthers (broadcaster of the team). Ranger fans should save the chant for only those teams, not the Carolina Hurricanes, Ottawa Senators or Tampa Bay Lightning.
2) Dancing Larry needs a dance partner
If you haven't heard of him already, "Dancing Larry" tries to get the team going in the third period by dancing to the 90's hit "Strike it Up". It seems he's been doing it forever and while it's fun and gets the crowd pumped up, it's getting awkward watching a man dancing by himself. The arena needs to find a beautiful woman for him to grind with, something I'm sure most fans would agree with.
3) There is no need for a "Let's Go Rangers" chant during the middle of the National Anthem
I understand that fans are pumped during the National Anthem as they are anxiously awaiting the puck to drop. However, this does not mean that they need to do a "Let's Go Rangers" chant during the middle of it.
4) Rangers Trivia needs to stop being so easy
Whenever they have a fan attempt to answer a trivia question during a TV timeout, it always seems like he or she gets the answer right. This is because fans in the background and arena officials are helping him or her just so they can giveaway a free team "goody" bag, if you could even call it that. How about they make it harder by having an arena spotlight shine directly on him and requesting the crowd to be silent? Now that would be pressure packed!
5) Stop chanting shoot during the power play
If the Rangers' power play wasn't bad enough, the team has to hear its fans chant "shoot" every second. Yes, I claim to do this too but realized that it's absolutely pointless. These guys know what to do with the puck and need to be a bit more patient.
For more puck talk, email Patrick at firstname.lastname@example.com and check out his blog, the "Goal Line Report".

Ok guys, my turn:
1 - Many True Blue Ranger fans are sick of Potvin sucks too but are well outnumbered nowadays. I completely agree that it should be Isles and Panthers only; it's something that I have been saying that for years. And it's Ulf Nilsson, not Neilson.
2 - There is Dancing Grandma now as well as Larry.
3 - We'll stop yelling Let's Go Rangers when the Dallas fans stop yelling Stars every time they hear it in the anthem, ok?
4 - The guy last night got trivia wrong.
5 - The day hockey fans stop yelling shoot is the day fans stop going to the games.

Heh. Nice post. I attended my very first game at MSG last weekend when the Pens were in town, and I'm laughing at all of these.
I found them all entertaining while I was there, simply because I was soaking in some awesome tradition, but I can see how somethings should come to an end, and could be annoying for regulars.
My favorite thing about MSG, though, was the goal horn/song. Having the whole rink sing along was one of the coolest things ever, especially on that last second goal. I loved every second of it, and I'm a die-hard Pens fan.
Either way, what a great atmosphere to watch a game. I can't wait until I can make another trip down from Ottawa.

Sorry for the mispelling, Scotty. I usually don't make too many spelling mistakes.
Your other points are well taken.

Pfister is a German car manufacturer in the HD Universe of Grand Theft Auto.
Pfister is based on Porsche. The Pfister logo is in the shape of a shield, just like Porsche's iconic logo. The name could possibly be a reference to "fisting", a sexual act. [Supposition - Consider revision.]
|Based On (HD Universe)
|Sports car
|GTA Chinatown Wars exclusive
|Sports car
|Porche 911 Turbo
|Style SR
|Sports car
|GTA Chinatown Wars exclusive
- Pfister is probably owned by BF, similar to how Porsche is owned by Volkswagen.
- "Pfister" is likely another piece of adult humour by Rockstar, meaning "fister" as in someone who sticks their fist into the female genitalia or male or female anus.
- In GTA San Andreas, pedestrians in areas like Paradiso and San Fierro can be heard saying what sounds like, "Have you driven a Pfister?" Sometimes, if the player is driving an expensive-looking vehicle, a pedestrian might comment positively, "Is that a Pfister?" This could mean that car brands were planned to be introduced before GTA IV, or perhaps that there was originally going to be a vehicle named the Pfister in-game.
- In certain stores in GTA V, Pfister Design posters and articles can be seen. These are obviously based on Porsche Design.
- There is a Pfister Design store in Rockford Hills in Grand Theft Auto V based on the real-life Porsche Design in Beverly Hills.
- In GTA Online the player can purchase polo-shirts and some watches which are branded "Pfister".
- In GTA V, whenever the player buys a pink car from a website, the car will be "Pfister Pink" instead of "Hot Pink".
- There is a real life company named Price Pfister, although the company manufactures faucets so there is most likely no connection.

A 70-year-old man told police he was beaten by a group of men, at least one of whom was carrying a baseball bat.
Marilyn Chaney, the owner of a restaurant on 23rd Street in Columbus said the victim is a regular at her establishment. Chaney said she found the man lying in the street in front of her business just moments after he had been inside.
Witnesses said the victim had been arguing with a group of four or five men immediately before the attack. At least one of those men was carrying a baseball bat and swung it against the victim's head and knees. The victim had a disability before the attack that impaired his ability to walk.
The police report states he was robbed of his prescription medication and $8,000.00 cash. Chaney said she is skeptical about that figure.
"They were arguing and people who came in here saw they were out there fighting. He's always into it with somebody. This is not the first time he's been into it with someone, you know. What would he be doing with $8,000.00, with that kind of money on him?" said Chaney.
People in the neighborhood who are familiar with the victim believe he has no fixed address. Attempts to contact the victim were unsuccessful. No arrests have been made.

I am so terribly sorry for you and your family.
That is always such a hollow and empty sounding thing to say, though, at times like this. How well I know.
We all dangle in life, like a feedbag on a piece of twine. Time is every bit our enemy, just as it is that piece of twine. For each of us, there will come a day when our piece of twine will break.
But, for those who have fallen, their suffering in this life is over, and there are none among us who do not suffer greatly in one way or another in this life.
And so we trust, whatever our beliefs, that for those of us who led good lives, and had good hearts, that the next life will be better.
I know that I do.
May peaceful, loving, happy memories of your mother fill your heart with joy for the rest of your days, my friend.

A celebration of his life was held on Feb. 25 at Manito Presbyterian Church, Spokane, for longtime Deer Park resident Aaron E. Olson, 86, who passed away on Feb. 17 in Spokane.
Born on July 5, 1925, to Lois and Ed Olson in Spokane, he was reared on a farm in Deer Park. He, along with his older brother, James, and his younger sisters, Adeline and Caroline, helped with his family business known as the Six Pines Ranch.
In 1943, he graduated from Deer Park High School and then enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He also served during the Korean War.
Aaron D. Miller, 24, pled not guilty on Feb. 28 to various charges stemming from his apparent three holdups of the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Deer Park this winter.
Miller, who is being held on $100,000 bond, faces first-degree robbery, second-degree robbery and attempted second-degree robbery charges.
Spokane County Sheriff's Detectives believe Miller was the gunman who robbed the store of oxycodone on Dec. 5 after displaying a gun and placing a note on the counter demanding drugs.
Miller fled the scene on foot.

Stage 5: Deploying the virtualized servers
About a month after the purchase orders went out for the hardware and software selected for the server virtualization project, the Fergenschmeir IT department was up to its elbows in boxes. Literally.
[ Start at the beginning of Fergenschmeir's server virtualization journey ]
This was because server administrator Mary Edgerton ordered the chosen HP c-Class blades from a distributor instead of buying it directly from HP or a VAR and having it pre-assembled. This way, she could do the assembly (which she enjoyed) herself, and it would cost less.
As a result of this decision, more than 120 parcels showed up at Fergenschmeir's door. Just breaking down the boxes took Mary and intern Mike Beyer most of a day. Assembling the hardware wasn't particularly difficult; within the first week, they had assembled the blade chassis, installed it in the datacenter, and worked with an electrician to get new circuits wired in. Meanwhile, the other administrator, Ed Blum, had been working some late nights to swap out the core network switches.
Before long, they had VMware ESX Server installed on nine of the blades, and VirtualCenter Server installed on the blade they had set aside for management.
Unexpected build-out complexity emerges
It was at this point that things started to go sideways. Up until now, the experience Mike had gained working with VMware ESX at his college had been a great help. He knew how to install ESX Server, and he was well versed in the basics of how to manage it once it was up and running. However, he hadn't watched his college mentor configure the network stack and didn't know how ESX integrated with the SAN.
After a few fits and starts and several days of asking what they'd later realize were silly questions on the VMware online forums, Ed, Mary, and Mike did get things running, but they didn't really believe they had done it correctly. Network and disk performance weren't as good as they had expected, and every so often, they'd lose network connectivity to some VMs. The three had increasing fears that they were in over their heads.
Infrastructure manager Eric Brown realized he'd need to send his team out for extra training or get a second opinion if they were going to have any real confidence in their implementation. The next available VMware classes were a few weeks away, so Eric called in the consultant that had helped with capacity planning to assist with the build out.
Although this was a significant and unplanned expense, it turned out to be well worth it. The consultant teamed up with Mary to configure the first few blades and worked with Ed on how best to mesh the Cisco switches and VMware's fairly complex virtual networking stack. This mentoring and knowledge transfer process proved to be very valuable. Later, while Mary was sitting in her VMware class, she noted that the course curriculum wouldn't have come anywhere near preparing her to build a complete configuration on her own. Virtualization draws together so many different aspects of networking, server configuration, and storage configuration that it requires a well-seasoned jack-of-all-trades to implement successfully in a small environment.
