A solo album in the truest sense of the word, The Adversary has Ihsahn playing all instruments except the drums and doing all kinds of vocals from his harrowing deep growls to incredibly grim screams and fantastic clean vocals. Unlike the earlier Emperor material such as In the Nightside Eclipse and Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, Ihsahn's vocals are upfront on The Adversary as with Peccatum. Not to say the guitar work is subdued here, but the vocals are certainly not behind the guitars as on his early works. Though all Emperor material is more violent and wicked than this disc, The Adversary is by far his most progressive work. Never before did he explore more creative rhyhmic tangents, blending a multitude of vocal and musical styles, and providing such intense vocal harmonies.
It is impossible not to mention Emperor when reviewing The Adversary. After all, the songwriter of both this band and solo record is the same musical soul. Those who are disappointed with this album are the ones who were expecting him to break new ground and re-invent the wheel. I doubt that was Ihsahn's goal upon writing these songs to begin with. The material presented here borrows from all of his musical phases. There are clear nods to his earlier Emperor material where crushing guitars blend with hypnotic keyboards and maniacal screams on "Invocation", a great album opener. The tremelo picking on this piece is nothing short of stellar, especially during the part they disappear under a soaring synth motif. Complete with enchanting acoustic passages and also Ihsahn's expressive clean voice, this is easily one of the album's best songs.
Besides the heavy and punishing material, there are also references to his past with Peccatum and Prometheus meets IX Equilibrium period Emperor as well as his main influences from way back. All of this is kept within a wide spectrum of avant-garde style progressive signature; thus calling the album merely "black metal" wouldn't do it justice. There is simply more to it. Remarkable diversity is achieved on the unexpectedly melodic "Called by the Fire", a song that sees Ihsahn paying a little tribute to the great King Diamond using his unique falsettos atop spattering cymbals and energetic guitar rhythms. This is arguably Ihsahn's most melodic vocal performance in his career, where each line becomes instantly memorable, as he alternates between layered clean harmonies and effective shrieks. There is a fantastic guitar solo in the climax of the piece as well. "Citizen" recalls Arcturus, for its use of non-standard metal ideas. Following fast, tremelo guitars and powerful blast beats from Asgeir Mickelson, Ihsahn delves into a beautiful piano solo before ripping screams are filtered through chunky guitar harmonies.
The guitar tone on the album is amazing. Though a bit dry from a production standpoint, it serves its purpose perfectly. On "Homecoming", sung by Ulver's Garm with his incredible mellow voice, the clean guitar riffs are indelible. The tone is thick and intense, surrounded by ominous keyboards and sporadic bass lines. This song is written to perfection and far more progressive than anything Ihsahn has written before. "Astera Ton Proinon" and the final track "Pain Is Still Mine" both boast classical explorations that recall the heavier parts of Peccatum, with the former being formulated by soothing acoustic guitars, choir effects, and vocals that change from calm, clean vocals to tortured screams. "Pain Is Still Mine", on the other hand, contains more elaborate piano work, with harrowing whispers and cinematic elements lending it a theatrical vibe, much like Arcturus' Sideshow Symphonies.
Spiral Architect's Asgeir Mickelson proves once again that he is Norway's best drummer. His fills on the Emperor-like "And He Shall Walk in Empty Places" add to the song's intensity, particularly because of Ihsahn's unusually brutal growls and screams. "Panem et Circenses" also offsets corrosive, blackened thrash parts a la Mercyful Fate, juxtaposing blazing classical synths and pulverizing fretwork. Both tracks are masterfully arranged and recorded.
One of the most creative and important names of 90's black metal, Emperor's Ihsahn, has released a more than satisfying first solo album, which, in many ways, is a testimony to his greatness. I am absolutely in awe with this disc. Most, if not all, Emperor fans should love this disc.

*Has had fewer IPOs than Thailand and Bangladesh this year. SINGAPORE, June 26- The uphill battle faced by Singapore's stock exchange to improve its trading volumes appears to be getting only tougher.
NEW YORK, April 24- If famed investor Jim Rogers is known for one trait above all, it is for spotting themes early-- and betting on them big. So when the co-founder of The Quantum Fund and author of "Adventure Capitalist" became a father, he naturally thought of how best to give his daughters an advantage.
NEW YORK, March 30- Rising tension between Russia and the West has rattled the country's stock and bond markets, but some big money managers see the turbulence as an opportunity.
But Rogers says he isn't selling yet. "If I was smart enough to tell you when it's going to happen, I would get rich," he tells CNBC.

Heated Rivalries
I joined Facebook in 2004, when it was so new that it was possible to browse through the entire network alphabetically, page by page. So it has been slightly comical to watch the site skyrocket in popularity, almost uncontrollably, like Jim Carrey hanging on to that candle-snuffer in the trailer for A Christmas Carol. A million members! Twelve million! Three-freaking-hundred million! There's no longer any stat the Palo Alto colossus could release that would surprise me. And then there's MySpace. During the most steroidal period of Facebook's growth, the News Corp. social network has stayed more or less flat. And it is easy to see why: while Facebook was spare and organized, MySpace pages were given to garish fonts and epilepsy-inducing images. Facebook went out of its way to appeal to your parents and grandparents; MySpace still felt dominated by high-schoolers, to the point that if any grown-up joined, it seemed like he probably hung out in a van offering candy to schoolchildren, too. (Disclosure: The CEO of The Washington Post Co., which owns NEWSWEEK, is on the board of Facebook, which is also a partner of our 20/10 project. But I would have made the pedophile joke anyway.) The latest user numbers: Facebook is more than double MySpace's size worldwide, and in June finally took the lead in the United States. Once an archrivalry, this contest is kaput: "I really don't view Facebook as a competitor," MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta conceded recently, saying that his site will focus on entertainment content.

One of the bedrock principles of free agency is that a given free agent will almost always accept the biggest offer. It doesn't often matter so much who's doing the bidding - it matters more how much is being bid. It's not even a criticism. It's just kind of true.
So this ongoing situation with C.J. Wilson is of unusual interest. Wilson has been presented a six-year contract offer by the Miami Marlins. He's also been presented a five-year contract offer by the Los Angeles Angels. The former would guarantee him more money. And yet, he appears to be leaning towards the latter. Via Ken Rosenthal:
Source: WIlson "more likely than not" will sign with #Angels, not #Marlins.
This is supported by a similar tweet from Jim Bowden. Nothing is official yet, but odds look good that C.J. Wilson will shortly become the newest Angel.
If that's how things go down, then Wilson presumably will have been swayed by his strong southern California roots. He's said to love the area, he'd be able to stay in the same division, and I guess what's one more guaranteed pile of money in six years when you're guaranteed piles of money for the next five years? This is an honest question, as I have never been offered or even been so much as in the same room as a pile of money.
Expect a resolution Thursday. Not gonna lie, I'm kind of afraid of what the Marlins might do if they're turned down again.

London Bridge from Riverside Walk West
The World > Europe > UK > England > London
London Bridge is a bridge over the River Thames connecting the City of London and Southwark in central London. Situated between Cannon Street Railway Bridge and Tower Bridge, it forms the western end of the Pool of London. On the south side of the bridge are Southwark Cathedral and London Bridge station; on the north side are the Monument to the Great Fire of London and Monument tube station.
A bridge has existed at or near the present site since the Roman occupation nearly 2000 years ago. The first bridge across the Thames in the London area, probably a military pontoon bridge, was built of wood by the Romans on the present site around AD 50.
The medieval bridge had 19 small arches and a drawbridge with a defensive gatehouse at the southern end. Contemporary pictures show it crowded with buildings of up to seven stories in height.
By the end of the 18th century, it was apparent that the old London Bridge — by then over 600 years old — needed to be replaced. It was narrow and decrepit, and blocked river traffic. The bridge was eventually replaced by a structure of five stone arches, designed by engineer John Rennie. The new bridge was built 100 feet (30 m) west (upstream) of the original site and was opened in 1831.
The current London Bridge was constructed from 1967 to 1972, and opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 17 March 1973. It comprises three spans of prestressed-concrete box girders, a total of 928 feet (283m) long.
The Shard, Europe's tallest building - now nearing completion - can be seen on the south side of the river.

Overview and History
"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." - Samuel Johnson
Do you know all the verses to the children's song, "London Bridge is falling down"? They will take you through the history of London so let's have a look, shall we?
First we need a bridge, in order for it to fall down. The Romans were nice enough to build the first one, probably using a combination of floating platforms and walkways. During Roman times the River Thames was much wider and shallower than it is today, so you could get away with mud hopping. As London has grown it has continually reclaimed the riverbank and funneled the river into a tighter channel, causing no small floods in the lower-laying areas.
Now, London Bridge first fell down and became a song when the English were fighting Viking invaders from Denmark. The English won by pulling down the Danish garrison and the bridge along with it.
Whoops! Wood and clay will wash away, wash away, wash away. Well.. that's part of the story. In 1014 more Viking invaders decided the bridge was in the way of their tall ships, so they tied ropes to it and rowed at full speed to help the bridge wash away.
Verse Three: "Build it up with bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar." The first stone construction began in 1176 and took thirty years to finish. This one lasted six centuries, but it still caught on fire and nearly collapsed a few times. This was the famous long-standing bridge bearing not only a church and houses, but also the heads of traitors preserved in tar and mounted on stakes.
Of course, a multi-colored thread of zany events came to pass in the seven-century lifespan of the stone London Bridge -- witch burnings, boating collisions and drownings, the Plague -- it's all part of becoming the world's largest city, a rich title which London achieved in the nineteenth century.
Oops! "Bricks and mortar will not stay, will not stay, will not stay." Build it up with iron and steel. The then-decrepit and chokingly narrow stone bridge was rebuilt by John Rennie in the 1830's. Legend has it that the British custom of driving on the left-hand side of the road was an early attempt to solve the congestion on the bridge.
If you can believe what comes next, Rennie's bridge was SOLD to an American investor who carted it off to Arizona. That was 1968.
The current London Bridge was dedicated in 1973. Its concrete and steel construction was financed by the sale of Rennie's stone bridge. Hmm... was this sale an elaborate financier's gambit, or just clever adaptation of existing circumstances?
Getting There
Heathrow Airport is the main one, although there are eight airports in the greater London area. Heathrow is the world's busiest airport in terms of international flights.
Other main airports are Gatwick and Stansted, all have good transportation links into central London, choose rail or bus.
With the oldest and best underground system in the world, you can literally get anywhere quickly, the 'tubes' do get a little overcrowded, so why not see the sites above the ground and take a bus or river boat.
Like Hong Kong, London uses the Oyster card system to let you pay electronically for all sorts of things, especially moving your body from place to place. Fares go for about two pounds per ride for the underground and £1 for the bus. Travel cards have a cool price cap on the bulk ticket purchases, so you can ride more without being charged more, after a certain point.
Consider avoiding the much loved 'black cabs' for long journeys, as it can be an expensive way to sit in traffic. Traffic can get busy in central London, but is improving alot since the introduction of the now very famous 'congestion charge'.
People and Culture
The British invented marmalade to protect their mighty navy from scurvy, and they drink a lot of tea ! "Thank you very much and have a lovely evening".
Well, those are the stereotypes. British culture can have the reputation of being stuffy and repressively polite, but the warmth and volume of pub life more than make up for it. The people in general are hilarious, sarcastic and quick-witted. They love their pints, their fish and chips and their football.
Like other megalopoliptic international and throbbing cities, London is tricky to congeal into a sliceable pat that one might conceivably be able to spread on one's toast. You'll simply have to come here and see it for yourself.
Things to do & Recommendations
First off, read some Shakespeare so you understand why you need to go to the Globe Theatre. Think about the double and triple meanings built into the text; this will give you a foundation in the British sense of humor you're walking into.
With that under your belt, walk on into The London Dungeons. When you're finished looking at these cages for people, you can look at some cages for animals at the London Zoo!
Science lovers can teleport right over to the Natural History Museum and laugh at the dinosaurs, who couldn't tele-anything.
The British museums are some of the best in the world, possibly even the best, owing to the Empire's history of world exploration. The National Gallery houses some of the greatest Western painting anywhere.
London is basically jam-packed full of history, food, music, theatre, art, banks and people to boggle your brains. I would try to describe it to you, but...
But Samuel Johnson already said it best.

The state will pay three attorneys up to $200 per hour to represent Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford in a lawsuit filed by a former employee.
Edmund Michalowski accused Rutherford last month of sexually harassing him and forcing him to do campaign work on state time.
Rutherford, who is seeking the Republican nomination for Illinois governor, has denied the claims. He's said the accusations have made his campaign more difficult.
Documents from the attorney general's office say Robert Shuftan, Daniel Fahner and Bilal Zaheer have been appointed special assistant attorneys general. They'll be paid using taxpayer funds from the treasurer's office.
Rutherford spent almost $27,000 in taxpayers' money on investigations into the allegations. He initially said the findings would be made public, but reversed course after the lawsuit was filed.

The design and development goals for the PSYCHO4 were crystal clear from the very beginning. The pressure was high, but the initial successes have already proven that we've introduced another winner to the market!
The PSYCHO4 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and impresses as a radical freestyle kite with big safety reserves. The enhanced agility of the kite in combination with the direct feedback enables superior control - learning new tricks has just gotten easier!
New Features
The total development of the PSYCHO4 took almost two years to complete and also brings a completely new innovation in kite design. The PSYCHO4 with its revolutionary "Triple Depower"-Technology combines 3 characteristics to maximize the depower effect:
The angle of attack changes
The projected size of the kite changes
The airfoil camber changes
The PSYCHO4 impresses by combining these 3 characteristics, resulting in an extremely wide "sweet-spot" where the kite creates its optimum performance. A tube kite, by comparison, only uses the change in angle of attack in order to achieve it's depower effect.
The range of use has significantly increased from its predecessor, worth mentioning is that through the "Triple Depower"-Technology it was possible to keep the kite direct and fast turning when depowered. Already leading us to another key design point and the next milestone in the PSYCHO4 design – turning speed and radius.
The PSYCHO4 is by far the narrowest and fastest turning kite that we have built to date! This kite is predestined for radical Free- and Wakestyle. The PSYCHO4 can master any kind of kiteloop with ease. The rider sets the extremity and limits. Unhooked performance has also been improved, so load it up for extreme pop!
Our kites are designed to fulfill the "wish-list" of our customers. Therefore, the PSYCHO4 has an extra dose of versatility. The option to individually adjust the steering forces is already well-known among Flysurfer users. New however, is the " DEPOWER PERFORMANCE ENHANCER " which makes it possible to alter the characteristics of the way the PSYCHO4 depowers to your own preference.
The Depower profile can be changed directly by opening and/or closing the middle air intake valve (in 3 settings).
Open Valve: The profile is clean and accelerates more by depowering. The forward pull remains a bit higher. This setting is especially recommended for maximum performance and light wind conditions.
Closed Valve: The depower effect feels more direct, because the depowered profile is more concave at the leading edge and loses power instantly. The acceleration of the kite is reduced for the benefit of a more direct and increased depower. This setting is especially recommended for learning new tricks and for kiting in waves.
Target Group
The PSYCHO4 is very easy to control, thanks to its enormous depower and very agile flight characteristics. This is a kite that wants to be worked. If you're looking for a kite for cruising or old school riding, better stick to our SPEED2. The PSYCHO4 impresses with radical lift and big airs when steering the kite back for a jump. The high flying and turning speed demands a sensitive hand to position the kite when landing. The PSYCHO4 is a kite for experienced riders who feel at home in the land of Free- and Wakestyle (or want to).
For this reason, the PSYCHO4 is only available up to 15m². The SPEED2 is unbeatable in the light wind segment and in reverse, in super high-wind conditions, we recommend the PULSE2 6m to intermediate riders, which has a bit more comfort and stability in these conditions.
In order to get the best out of the PSYCHO4, it comes standard with the completely new developed INFINITY-BAR to offer you the safest and best possible control bar out there.
The PSYCHO4 naturally comes with our 6 months Free-Repair Guarantee, as you would expect from FLYSURFER,
with regards to durability, the PSYCHO4 also outperforms its predecessor.
Other features at a glance:
* Shortened, colored and covered bridle lines for even easier handling and almost no tangles
* No more pulleys at the kite = less abrasion/wear
* Trimming the kite has become super simple thanks to the new shorter mixer-setup
* Incorporated 5 th line safety system / FDS
* Supplied with a strengthened and durability tested Safety-Leash
* INFINITY BAR bag for clean and easy packing up and down

Characterization of factors involved in the regulation of chromatin structure and human stem cell pluripotency

Public Abstract:
Unlike the majority of cells in the human body, stem cells can give rise to a wide variety of different cell types. This unique property – pluripotency – is the foundation of virtually all proposed uses of stem cells in regenerative medicine. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate stem cell pluripotency will facilitate the development of new approaches for isolating and culturing human stem cells in the laboratory and manipulating their development in the human body. Accordingly, the molecular mechanisms underlying the control of stem cell pluripotency and differentiation are currently a topic of intense interest. Members of the Polycomb group of regulatory proteins play important roles in the maintenance of stem cell pluripotency by repressing genes involved in cellular differentiation. A major question in the field of stem cell biology concerns how Polycomb repression is "switched off" to permit the differentiation of stem cells into specialized cell types. Although the molecular nature of this switch is unknown, genetic studies in simple model organisms have suggested that the human CHD7 protein plays a critical role in this process by counteracting Polycomb repression. The goal of our research is to test this hypothesis and determine the role of CHD7 in the control of stem cell pluripotency and differentiation. The proposed research may lead to novel approaches for the development of diagnostics, tools and therapies. If our hypothesis about the role of CHD7 in human stem cell development is correct, drugs that interfere with CHD7 function could be used to maintain or regulate stem cell pluripotency, either in culture or in patients. Such drugs might also prove extremely useful for creating new stem cell lines for use in regenerative medicine. An added benefit of our research is that it may suggest new treatments for CHARGE syndrome, a serious development that affects one in eight thousand births.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Pluripotency – the ability to differentiate into a seemingly unlimited variety of cell types – is a distinguishing feature of stem cells and the foundation of their potential uses in regenerative medicine. Recent studies have suggested that the human CHD7 protein may function as a genetic switch that triggers the differentiation of stem cells into specialized cell types. The information gained from the proposed research on CHD7 may facilitate the creation of new stem cell lines as well as new approaches for regulating stem cell pluripotency and differentiation in both the laboratory and the human body. In addition, the proposed research may permit the development of more effective treatments for CHARGE syndrome, a serious developmental disorder resulting from mutations in CHD7 that affects one in 8,000 births.
Review Summary:
The long-term goal of this proposed research is to understand the role of Trithorax group chromatin regulators in the control of stem cell pluripotency and early differentiation. Specifically, three aims will test whether the chromatin-remodeling factor CHD7/Kismet promotes stem cell differentiation of cultured hES cells by counteracting the repression mediated by Polycomb complexes. The first Aim will determine whether changes in the level of CHD7 correlates with induction of hESC differentiation. Aim 2 will test whether forced expression of CHD7 can initiate the expression of differentiation markers. Aim 3 will use loss-of-function experiments to determine whether reduced expression of CHD7 in hESCs can prevent the induction of differentiation markers while maintaining the expression of genes responsible for stem cell propagation and pluripotency. The results are expected to determine whether CHD7 is an important player and to identify potential target genes. SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATION: Considerable recent evidence indicates that heritable changes in chromatin structure control the choice between maintenance of stem cell identity (including the ability to self-renew while maintaining pluripotency) and the initiation of differentiation. An understanding of the molecular and genetic mechanism of this critical decision will be essential for designing effective in vitro protocols for expanding human stem cell populations and switching their phenotype toward differentiated functions useful for a wide variety of therapeutic applications. CDH7/Kismet is a chromatin activator that is likely involved in the switch from stem cell renewal to programming differentiation, and so a test of its role and an analysis of its mechanism of action is highly relevant to the goals of stem cell technology. The innovation in this proposal lies in the insight into CDH7 function and the novelty of using such a regulator to control differentiation of cultured human ES cells. STRENGTHS: The proposed research address a central issue of stem cell biology: the mechanism controlling the transition between stem cell renewal and cell-fate decisions. The experimental plan uses standard approaches to ask fundamental questions regarding the role of CHD7, a potentially important regulator of stem cell identity. The association of heterozygosity at the CHD7 locus with human developmental abnormalities shows that CHD7 plays an important role in human development. This application illustrates the direct value of cross-over from discoveries in Drosophila development to human stem cell biology and the opportunity to bring the special insights of a young and accomplished investigator to this field. WEAKNESSES: Although CHD7 is a promising potential regulator of stem cell identity, a project focused on this one candidate may not turn out to be productive. As yet there is no compelling evidence that CHD7 is important in stem cells, rather than later developmental decisions. Some of the properties of Kismet/CHD7 suggest that it may direct the consequences of the decision to switch from renewal to differentiation rather than participate in the decision. Preliminary information implicating CHD7 in the decision itself would be helpful. Documentation of the necessary expertise within the nascent stem cell facility to grow and differentiate human ES cells and to transduce them with recombinant lentivirus would strengthen this application. DISCUSSION: Would recommend analysis of potential targets by Chip-on-chip and study of histone modifications at selected genes (eg nanog, oct 4, gata6, etc)

Yeah, tbh this is the first album in a while I've felt really passionately about, probably the first since Erykah Badu or Portishead really. The Nas, Immortal Tech, Randy Newman, and CSS records just basically made me go 'ehh' and then think of a way of writing that in a vaguely entertaining way, and even as much as I really like the Kevin Shields/Patti Smith record it's not really the kind of thing you can get excited about in any real way.
Yeah, this is awesome. Wonderful review, one of your best in a while.

It appears that Mother Nature has at least one more severe weather event up her sleeve as the summer season comes to an end later this week.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for Norwalk, as well as much of the the rest of the state.
The advisory will be in effect from noon today until 6 a.m. tomorrow morning.
Downed Trees, Power Outages
Wind gusts are expected to reach up to 50 miles per hour or more, with sustained winds of some 20 to 30 miles per hour throughout the day today.
The weather service warns the high winds could lead to downed limbs and trees in, as well as scattered power outages.
"This potential will be enhanced in areas of heavy showers or thunderstorms," the meteorologists reported.
'Isolated Tornado' Possible
In a hazardous weather outlook alert also issued for today, the weather service warns today's storm system could also bring with it "heavy rainfall with isolated flash flooding."
"Local severe storms with damaging wind gusts and possibly an isolated tornado," the meterologists stated in their report, adding minor coastal flooding is also possible.
The nasty weather is expected to be at its height late this afternoon in to the early morning hours tomorrow.
Extended Forecast
Tomorrow the rain and the clouds are expected to clear out by the early afternoon, with a high in the low 70s
And Thursday is expected to be a picture-perfect last summer day: sunny and in the mid 70s — a weather trend that is expected to continue into at least Saturday night.

The Oklahoma defense had several questions to answer before the season started. They had just four starters returning from a group that gave up more yards then any team in the history of the Sooner football program.
So far Mike Stoops guys have played well and they're getting good results from the young guys, like Charles Tapper. The sophomore defensive end is fourth on the team in tackles with 14 tackles and a half a sack.
"He came all the way from Baltimore. Yeah, Charles (Tapper) is doing great." said Oklahoma head football coach Bob Stoops, "He's a wonderful young man, and he only played high school ball for a couple of years. He was a basketball player. But, he's doing great. He's had three really good games. He's active and fast, and he's making a lot of plays. He stays on the field. He has great stamina. So, he's been really exciting to watch."
The remarkable thing is he started out as a basketball player in high school and was talked into playing football his junior year.
"It was my junior year in high school and I met a guy named Corey Robison in the McDonalds. I always tell people this story." said Tapper, "He asked me if I wanted a Honda Accord or a Lamborghini. Of course I said I wanted a Lamborghini. I thought he was kind of crazy when he said that but, he said if I just follow my dreams, work hard and keep believing in God he would make everything come true. I went to the Army combine. Coach Wright found me there. And from there I came to Oklahoma and became the guy I am now."
Charles and that Sooner defense have the week off as they prepare for their big match-up with Notre Dame in South Bend on Saturday, September the 28th. Kickoff is set for 2:30.

Even before she came to Virginia Tech in August 2012, Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia Perillo said she was drawn to Virginia Tech's commitment to diversity and inclusion. "The Principles of Community are such a visible statement of Virginia Tech's commitment and intent," she said. "I see the university living the Principles of Community every day. It is significant that we are willing to hold a mirror up to ourselves and name the work we do well and address the work we need to do."
In 2005, Virginia Tech took an innovative step to create a more inclusive and comprehensive approach to diversity programs and practices. The Principles of Community were affirmed by the board of visitors and signed by eight university organizations. They include a strong articulation of the educational benefits of diversity to the entire student population.
In subsequent years, efforts to bring diversity issues into the mainstream of university decision-making have taken many forms to create conditions in which the entire population can pursue, strengthen, and improve the university's commitment to being diverse and inclusive.
"The Principles of Community gave us a common language, a way to frame how we want to evolve as a community," said Ray Williams, director of Multicultural Programs and Services. "They also gave us something to hold us accountable. The challenge is making them something each person in our community is aware of and adopts. How well we do it communicates how serious we are about inclusion, diversity, social justice, and equity."
William T. Lewis, vice president for diversity and inclusion, said the university is "thinking beyond what we traditionally address as diversity issues. We want to work toward a culture of affirmation of differences and respect for the inherent integrity of an individual."
There are 8,151 non-white students at Virginia Tech, roughly 28.7 percent of all students enrolled. There are 2,510 international students from 108 countries on campus.
"The Virginia Tech experience has to happen for lots of different people in lots of different ways," Williams said. "We can't apply broad, sweeping values to everyone, because not everyone receives information in the same way and not everyone starts from the same vantage point. We need to be responsive to all the different ways diversity is defined."
Maggie Appel-Schumacher of Mackenbach, Germany, a senior majoring in German and international studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, spent her first two years at Virginia Tech living in the World, a theme housing community that fosters understanding of diverse cultures. "It connected me with other students who were far from home. My roommate was Chinese. I had neighbors from Sri Lanka and Kenya. The friends I made, the connections — these are the people who define what Virginia Tech is for me. It's all about celebrating differences and at the same time coming together as Hokies."
Cranwell International Center offers English conversation groups, social events, orientation activities, and ambassador programs that engage both international and domestic students, faculty, and staff. Through these programs, international students not only become comfortable with their American experience, but also share their personal stories and cultures with the campus and local community.
Jiale Du of Chengdu, Sichuan, China, is a freshman majoring in biochemistry and chemistry in the College of Science. She said the first-year seminar offered by Cranwell helped her adjust to a new culture and college life. "Academically, I learned about the American style of conducting classes, how to manage my time, and how to study more efficiently. I learned about Virginia culture by going on an overnight trip in Appalachia"
Du rooms with an American, an intentional choice she said has made a huge difference in her experience. "Having an American roommate helps me improve my spoken English and learn more about the American way of life. She has taught me American slang to help me to adapt to this country more quickly. We always talk about the differences between America and China, and my roommate is really interested in the culture of China."
Many international students don't realize how much they teach American students, said Suzanne Baker, assistant director for Cranwell International Center. "They open up students to thinking about and questioning stereotypes. They raise awareness of cultural sensitivity. They help prepare our students for lives in a global society. They bring the world to Virginia Tech."
That's important to the community as a whole, Perillo said. "Every one of us has a unique identity, and understanding differences begins with self-understanding," she said. "We reach students at a crucial time in the development of their identities. It is our responsibility to create an environment in which every person can be welcomed, valued, and affirmed for who they are."
For more information on this topic, contact Sandy Broughton at 540-231-3467.
On March 14, 2005, the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors and eight university organizations affirmed the Principles of Community.

Richard J. Bolte, Sr. School of Business
"Fed Raises Key Rates." "Officials Ponder Hurricane's Impact on Economy." "European Economies Slow to Recover." "Health Insurance Costs Soar." On any given day more news stories involve economic issues than perhaps any other topic.
Matters of the economy affect all aspects of our lives, and thus solid understanding of how the economy works is an important tool in analyzing the world today. Economists study how and why consumers, business managers and public officials make choices about the allocation of scarce resources. Economists also examine the effects of public policy on prevailing economic conditions, and use their training to develop government policies that are more efficient, equitable and responsive with as little interference as possible.
Not surprisingly, the integral nature of economics translates into interesting work and excellent job prospects. An economics degree prepares students for employment in a wide variety of jobs or serves as an excellent foundation from which to pursue graduate study in business, law, public policy and other fields. Economics majors take on jobs across a wide range of fields (business, government, nonprofits, academia and research centers), as well as across many issue areas, from the stock market to trade to education policy.
Combined with the strong business and liberal arts education from the Mount, our economics majors graduate with a solid understanding of the field, a deeper appreciation for the ways in which economic principles and our economic system shape the way we live, and the capacity to search out answers to many of society's problems in both business and government. An economics minor is an excellent way to add rigor to programs in business, political science, international studies and sociology.
The program in economics is designed to address the economic complexities of societies and to help students develop an understanding and appreciation of the approaches to the solution of economic problems.
Students who double major in economics and business must take the seven courses required for the economics major and the required courses for the business major. Such students will need to take only one additional business or economics elective.

"Do you remember Paul Williams, the short, round, eyeglass-wearing actor/composer who was all over the television in the '70s — and authored a number of unforgettable songs including "Rainbow Connection," Three Dog Night's "An Old Fashioned Love Song" and The Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun"? Rumor had it that he had died. But thanks to filmmaker Steven Kessler's persistence, Williams has been found to be alive and well and still quite popular in the Philippines. In his entertaining and at times moving documentary, Kessler, who becomes quite attached to his subject, follows Williams while recounting his life story. Tonight's special screening of the film features a post-screening Q&A with the once Hollywood giant."

Separated by a county border and 35 miles of roads, Patricia Berg of Norwich and Jennifer Kirkpatrick of Oneonta have bonded after both experienced the painful loss of a beloved sister as the result of a gruesome homicide.
The two women said they are also united in their belief that the state parole board should not be releasing criminals serving sentences of 25 years to life in prison for the most heinous crimes on the books — A-1 violent felonies such as intentional murder and murder by depraved indifference to human life.
Berg and Kirkpatrick became acquainted in recent days after The Daily Star last week chronicled Kirkpatrick's efforts to fight convicted killer David Dart's release from Otisville state prison. He is serving 25 years to life for the 1989 stabbing murder of Kirkpatrick's sister, Gillian Gibbons, inside the municipal parking garage in downtown Oneonta.
For Berg, the story of a young sister being killed — Gibbons was 18 years old when a 17-inch survival knife was repeatedly plunged into her body, and Berg's sister, Wendy Cooper, was 16 years old when she was stripped naked and fatally bludgeoned with a rock — hit close to home.
Too close, she said.
Berg told The Daily Star that she wants to use what she called her own upsetting experiences with the state Parole Board to assist Kirkpatrick in convincing the board to keep Dart, 44, behind bars.
Wendy Cooper was walking home from school and had just had her braces removed when she was accosted in Norwich in 1974 by Stephen D. Pierce. He drove her to his mother's property in Plymouth, where he brutally killed her after removing her clothing. The girl's battered body was discovered inside a station wagon owned by Pierce's mother. The killer later explained in response to questions that he began hitting the girl with a rock because she was screaming and he decided to silence her, Berg recalled.

Decatur – There is good news for a local restaurant that scored low on a recent health inspection.
Back in May, Dragon Buffet in Decatur got consistently low scores from the Macon County Health Department. There were multiple complaints of food not being at the right temperature, other complaints of a server not washing his hands. The health department told the restaurant if they don't score above a 75 at their next random inspection they'll close the restaurant for three days.
Today the Buffet's owner tells us a new health inspection got them a much high score, an 89 this time around.

The UCLA Bruins will face off against Illinois Fighting Illini in San Francisco for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, in a matchup of beleaguered teams looking for new head coaches for the 2012 season. Illinois fired Ron Zook after the Illini went 0-6 to close the season after starting the season 6-0. UCLA actually made the PAC-12 Championship Game under Rick Neuheisal, but only because the USC Trojans were ineligible. Neuheisal was fired by the Bruins prior to the game against the Oregon Ducks.
The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl has been played annually since 2002 at AT&T Park, the home of the San Francisco Giants. It was previously known as the Emerald Bowl with an ACC tie-in, but now pits a Pac-12 and WAC opponent against each other. It is one of three bowl games played in a baseball stadium. The bowl is unique in the sense that because of the field configuration, it requires both teams to be on the same sideline, separated by a barrier at the 50-yard line.
The Kraft Fight Hunter Bowl will be called by Carter Blackburn, Brock Huard & Shelley Smith and will be aired on ESPN, steamed live on ESPN3.
Game date, time:3:30 pm ET, Saturday, December 31st
Location:AT&T Park, San Francisco, CA
TV channel: ESPN/ESPN3
2010 winner and loser: Nevada, Boston College

Golden Gate Bridge Tolls
The finance committee for the Golden Gate bridge made the decision to replace toll workers with automatic machines. - http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/bay-area/2011/01/golden-gate-bridge-eliminate-toll-collectors?category=17511
This is obviously the most cost effective decision and automization is the dominant trend in all aspects of life from grocery stores to call centers to video rental. While this brings costs down and perhaps makes things easier, there are losers. The process is eliminating jobs at a furious rate. Manufacturing is declining pushing people in to low skilled service work. Now service work is being replaced by machines. What are people going to do to make a living?
Sure there is an ever greater demand for high tech and high skilled work but Bridge toll workers don't turn into computer programmers over night. Either there has to be a massive investment into universal higher education or, we are going to have to get creative to make sure there are jobs to go around.
Where are these going to come?

Casey Richey, SBN's writer at Winging It In Motown, thinks that Team USA should be proud of their silver medal.
There's not much that I can say about this game that hasn't been said. It lived up to every billing it was given and the hype was well deserved. Despite the outcome being a loss for the United States, I was very proud of the effort put forth by the Stars and Stripes. Far be it from me to take any credit from Canada as they played a great game and in turn took home the gold on home ice. Good for the Canadian people after an exceptional turn as hosts of the Winter Olympics.
Even though the United States took home the silver instead of the gold, this was a tremendous day for hockey in the US. I couldn't count how many people I know that normally care the least bit about hockey but found themselves enthralled in the battle with the Canadians. It may not inspire every kid to pick up a stick or every father to build a rink in the back yard but it could go a long way towards putting hockey back on television on a season long basis. It could boost ticket sales or bring former fans of the game back to the sport they once loved.
In the end, I'm proud of what the US achieved in these Olympics. Not many pegged them to do anything even close to this but they came out and put in exceptional effort from the puck drop against Switzerland on opening day to the final goal horn in the gold medal game. Nothing can, or should, be taken away from this American squad and the effort put forth and competitiveness of the games will do wonders for hockey in America.

Constable's anguish at Oxford United's away defeat
6:50am Monday 31st March 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard , Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
JAMES Constable struggled to describe the disappointment as he was left to reflect on the fine margins in Oxford United's painful defeat at Dagenham & Redbridge.
The only goal of the game arrived via a breathtakingly unlucky goal in the 89th minute.
A back-tracking Matt Bevans was in just the wrong place to divert the ball into the net from 20 yards after Michael Raynes had blocked Luke Howell's shot.
It was harsh on the visitors and Constable in particular felt the pain of defeat after chances fell his way either side of the goal.
"It's hard to sum that up," he said.
"On the balance of it I thought we were the better side for most of the 90 minutes and it's just absolutely devastating to concede like that.
"You probably won't see a goal like that again for many seasons to come.
"The luck they had is probably something we haven't had of late and we've come away with nothing.
"We are bitterly disappointed after the way we've played.
"Everyone was up for the game and desperate to get the three points and we haven't managed to do that.
"For large periods we were comfortable and showed some glimpses of what we could do.
"We've had some decent opportunities and really should have put a couple away to win the game."
Constable was left out of the starting line-up, but gave United more of an edge up front after coming on for the final 18 minutes.
He quickly fashioned a shooting chance, which was the visitors' only shot on target all afternoon, forcing goalkeeper Chris Lewington to save with his feet.
Constable said: "It's one of those occasions when in another game it might have bounced over his legs and gone in."
United's top scorer also had an opportunity to claim an equaliser in stoppage time, but the shot flew wide.
He said: "It's the way it's going at the minute.
"With those ones where you spin, it can hit the post and go in.
"Then we'd be talking about a great performance and a great away win.
"But on the other hand we've not picked up anything."

DANVILLE, Ky. —
The soap poll isn't especially even.
"We're on our second loaf of Republican soap, but we've sold just half a loaf of Democratic soap," said Nelson.
Indeed, it seems to mirror Kentucky's red-state politics. Obama had a poor showing here in the 2008 primary and general elections, and he's expected to lose to Romney by a large margin come November.
But Nelson's straw poll may soon be skewed by out-of-towers.
Nelson said she's already been visited by a number of visitors lately, including a young couple from London, England, who arrived for this weekend's 150th commemoration of the Civil War Battle fought in nearby Perryville. A reenactment there was expected to draw 2,500 participants and 25,000 spectators.
She's expecting a lot more people Monday.
Danville's visitors will include Secret Service agents who've rented an entire section of a local hotel, and the broadcast networks, expected in town Sunday and Monday.
Centre College expects 3,200 credentialed media, including 600 from 39 foreign countries.
Two national media outlets are negotiating to rent the Bluegrass Pizza and Pub downtown - one for a debate forum, the other to entertain VIP guests - though owner Colin Masters was reluctant to give specifics until details are final.
Come Thursday evening nearly all of these visitors will converge on tiny but prestigious Centre College, a highly rated liberal arts college whose alumni include two Supreme Court justices (John Marshall Harlan and Fred M. Vinson); two vice presidents (John C. Breckenridge and Adlai Stevenson); and a passel of congressmen, senators and governors.
The college, just three blocks from downtown, hosted the 2000 vice presidential debate between Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman. The Commission on Presidential Debates was so impressed, it chose Center, and Danville, again this year.
"It's a bigger show this time," said Dr. Clarence Wyatt, professor of history, who co-chaired the 2000 debate and has the same role this year. "It's more complex in every way. It's post 9/11, and there's an incumbent this time."

Yellow warning for rain issued by the Met Office
Updated 10:03am Thursday 6th February 2014 in News By Neil Watts
THE yellow warning for rain has been extended into the weekend with more rain set to fall in the coming days.
The Met Office is predicting further spells of heavy and persistent rain from this afternoon into tomorrow morning and again from late tomorrow evening until early on Saturday.
This will be followed by frequent heavy showers accompanied by gales.
A yellow warning means severe weather is possible and people should plan ahead for possible travel delays and disruption due to flooding, with the situation likely to change or worsen.
Rainfall of 15 to 25mm is expected widely and the Met Office's chief forecaster said: "A further Atlantic frontal system will bring a band of rain quickly eastwards during Friday night and early Saturday, with the heaviest rain again likely to be across parts of southern England and south Wales, followed in turn by heavy showers.
"Winds will also be a feature with severe gales possible around coasts in the southwest of England."

Seventh and eighth graders went through a series of stations that gave them a peek into the life of soldiers stationed in the Middle East. The first station offered students the chance to try a meal, ready-to-eat (MRE), which is a self-contained, individual field ration that provides about 1,200 calories. Other stations allowed students to see weapons commonly used in combat, living quarters for soldiers when they are overseas and vehicles that have been used in Iraq and Afghanistan. A final station taught students about the amount of physical fitness needed to be a soldier. Several students even had the opportunity to "Army crawl" through a makeshift obstacle course.
Kathy Scarberry, a seventh-grade English teacher at Bankhead, said she organized the event as a way to increase her students awareness of the sacrifices that soldiers make.
"We all need to appreciate what these men and women do for our country," she said. "This was a way for our students to meet soldiers who have been in Iraq and Afghanistan and hear their stories. It should give each of our students a newfound respect for the soldiers who are fighting for their freedom."
Sgt. Daniel Minor, a Cordova resident whose daughter attends Bankhead, coordinated the event with Scarberry.
"We have all this equipment that we can use to educate the community, so we brought it out here today to share with the students," he said. "All the soldiers who came out today volunteered their time, and I think each one is glad they did. We had a great response from the students."
Seventh grader Michael Scroggins, who is considering joining the military in the future, said Friday's visit from the soldiers was "awesome."
"The stuff they get to do — it's something that I think I'd want to do one day," he said.
Starting next week, Scarberry said her classes will begin writing letters to soldiers who are currently stationed abroad.
"We have a soldier who is stationed on a ship that has agreed to let us write him," she said. "He's talked to all the others on the ship and they are going to become pen pals with our students."
Scarberry said all letters, those leaving her students and those coming in to her students, will be read by her for safety reasons.
She said the main reason for the letters is to show soldiers that someone back home cares about them and wants to help them.
"We will be asking them for any kind of supplies they need and use their requests to put together care packages," he said.
Sgt. Howard Lee Miles, one of the 10 soldiers at Bankhead Friday, said receiving a letter from a stranger was a priceless experience during his tours of duty in Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan.
"It's better than getting a letter from a family member or friend, because this is someone who you don't know that is taking time from their life to write you a letter," he said. "It really lets you know that there are people out there who care about what you are doing. When we would get letters, it was like the best Christmas presents you could ever imagine."
Sgt. Michelle Ortiz, an veteran who served in Iraq, said letters from students could "mean the world" to a soldier.
"When I was in Iraq, getting a letter was very special," she said. "A lot of times we don't know how much support we have, so to get a letter touches us on a personal letter and it lets us know that people are supporting us."
As a token of thanks, Bankhead students lined up at the end Friday's event to shake the hands of the soldiers who visited. Students also presented each soldier with a coin, donated by the VFW Ladies Auxiliary-Post 4850, which had the inscription, "We thank you for your service and pray for your continued safety."
Bankhead Principal Amber Freeman said the visit from the soldiers was a great thing for her students.
"Our students were able to experience, in a small way, what it is like to be a soldier, and I think it was great," she said. "I hope it helps our students realize the sacrifices that every man and woman makes when they join the military. I'm so thankful to each of the soldiers who visited today."

PLAISTOW, N.H. — The vulnerability of local nonprofit sports and community organizations to theft of membership funds by officers who handle the money was underscored Tuesday in a New Hampshire courtroom.
Alan Colby, 52, treasurer of the local fish and game club, was convicted by a jury of six felony theft charges stemming from the embezzlement of $104,000 over two years.
Prosecutors said Colby transferred more than $200,000 from the club's account to his construction company's bank account from mid-2008 to mid-2010, but repaid $100,000 after questions were raised.
Colby, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, said he considered the money a loan to help get his struggling company back on its feet. But he also admitted he was not authorized to borrow the money.
Club members said he was one of the most liked and trusted members of the organization. He now faces 7 1/2 to 15 years in prison on each of the six charges.
Community nonprofit groups are required to annually file a financial report with the federal government, but often the information provided is general because of the casual arrangement that often exist between longtime friends.

About the Book
Gris Grimly's Frankenstein is a twisted, fresh, and utterly original full-length, full-color graphic-novel adaptation of Mary Shelley's original text, brought to life by acclaimed illustrator Gris Grimly.
This is the first fully illustrated version to use the original 1818 text and is destined to capture the imagination of those new to the story as well as those who know it well.
New York Times bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly has long considered Frankenstein to be one of his chief inspirations. From the bones and flesh of the original, he has cut and stitched Mary Shelley's text to his own artwork, creating something entirely new: a stunningly original remix, both classic and contemporary, sinister and seductive, heart-stopping and heartbreaking.
Perfect for fans of Edgar Allan Poe and Neil Gaiman's Coraline.
I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half vital motion.
Thus did Mary Shelley describe the vision that inspired her to compose Frankenstein on a trip to Geneva in the summer of 1816. A tale of science and morality, of love and loss, of hope and despair, the account of Victor Frankenstein's terrifying experiments into the very nature of life and death still echoes two hundred years after its original composition—an enduring reminder of man's ability to create and his ability to destroy. It has inspired generations of writers, artists, and filmmakers, and has borne countless adaptations—in print, on the stage, and on the screen.
But nothing quite like this.
Gris Grimly, another student of unhallowed arts and master of gothic horror, has long considered Frankenstein to be one of his chief inspirations. From the bones and flesh of the original, he has cut and stitched Mary Shelley's text to his own artwork, creating something entirely new: a stunningly original remix both classic and contemporary, sinister and seductive, heartstopping and heartbreaking. It is the first fully illustrated version to use the original 1818 text and is destined to capture the imagination of those new to the story as well as those who know it well.
Beautifully terrifying and terrifyingly beautiful, this is Frankenstein as you've never seen it before.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Grimly enlivens the prose while retaining its power to both frighten and engage sympathy for the monster-creator Victor Frankenstein. This is a richly morose nightmare of a book, a primer for young readers on the pleasures and dangers of decadent languidness." —New York Times Book Review
"Grimly's fans have been awaiting this reworking of Shelley's 1818 classic for four years, and they will rejoice in the end result. Readers encountering the story for the first time may find Grimly's images rise to view whenever they think of it." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Grimly proves himself a more adept assembler of parts than his subject proved to be; his product is no monster, but a pastiche of style and substance that will reanimate the original for yet another generation of readers." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
"Grimly's unique and twisted style blends perfectly with the material and breathes new life into these characters and situations. . . . Grimly's beautiful and trim version is a great way to immerse a new audience in this important work. —School Library Journal
"Grimly's haunting illustrations dramatically show the range of human emotion connected with Frankenstein and his monster-rage, despair, hurt, lament, and even joy and excitement. Though often dark, Grimly's version has a whimsical quality that will draw teens in and allow them to better access this classic novel." —Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
"Gris has a natural empathy with the disfranchised, the lost. His line work becomes more elegant and precise with each book but it also becomes more and more emotional and expressive. Gris is a fabulist with the soul of a graveyard poet." —Guillermo del Toro, director of Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth
