Very young students learn music fundamentals in a positive and creative environment where games and fun musical activities reinforce basic concepts. Students participate in a weekly 30-minute class (students perform for each other and concepts are introduced and reinforced) and a 15-minute private lesson (focuses more on the actual playing of the pieces and reviewing as needed). Class size is small, and parents are required to attend and participate in the lessons.
Private Instruction in Piano is available to students 6 years of age and older at all levels.
Private Instruction In Voice is available to 10 and 11 year old students (by audition only) and to students12 years old and older at elementary and advanced levels (requiring no audition).

Approximately forty students are selected by audition once a year to represent Samford University Preparatory Music in the Birmingham community. Students are given the opportunity to perform for civic, church, and campus gatherings.
Around half of the students in the Honors Ensemble are awarded scholarships as determined by the judges at the auditions. The judges select the top performers, according to outstanding ability and achievement, to receive money to help pay for private lesson tuition through Samford University Preparatory Music.
Auditions for the Honors Ensemble and Scholarship Winners are held annually.
Students must complete a Registration Form (along with Credit Card Form if needed) and submit the annual registration fee to be officially registered in the Preparatory Department. Enrollment is made for the duration of one semester.
Frequent recitals afford students an opportunity to perform on a regular basis. Students may play in as many recitals as the instructor and parent feel they are prepared for. One recital each semester is designated for preschool children.
Performance Practices are informal performances/mini masterclasses where students come on a Sunday afternoon before the recital to perform for a Preparatory Music Instructor and other students playing that day. This is a fantastic way for private teachers, students, and parents to be able to make some last minute corrections before the "big" performance at the recital.

This time the one-day conference will be even more developer-focused, marking a departure from the last f8, held in 2011, where Facebook unveiled Timeline.
Versatile, sturdy, and built with high-quality optics, the Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM offers a good value, although it's not exactly cheap.
In addition to a lighter, faster and probably better version of its fast pro lens, Nikon also updated its 1.4x teleconverter.
As long as it stays at a sub-$1,000 price, the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM lens will be a great deal for photographers using APS-C dSLRs.
"Saturday Night Live" comedian Andy Samberg pokes fun of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the company's annual F8 Developer Conference in San Francisco on Thursday.
The social network is reportedly aiming to hire an exec to handle its relations with Hollywood. And tomorrow's F8 event should offer some answers about Facebook's media plans.
At its annual developers conference, the world's largest social network unveils Timeline and a new Open Graph, two major features that seem likely to change the way people interact with the service.
As social network's F8 confab edges nearer, more snippets emerge about what might go down at event, including talk of the unveiling of a "major" redesign of site's iconic profile pages.
The speakers at Facebook's developers conference offer another hint of what to expect. Major announcements could possibly include a complete rewrite of the Facebook platform that developers can use to build new social apps.

October is sweeps month
Getting job done in a hurry has become playoff trend
Baseball's dramatic muse has slacked off for another postseason. After another year of untold thrills and spills, we got another October of only spills.In the TV ratings biz, November is known as a sweeps month. Baseball's sweeps again came a month early. Five of this month's seven postseason series ended in sweeps, continuing a recent departure from prior historical trends. The last four postseasons (2004-07) have produced 13 series sweeps -- compared to a total of four the previous four years (2000-03). Even beyond the sweeps, postseason series have become shockingly one-sided. In the last three years, series losers have managed to win a grand total of only 16 games -- versus 72 defeats. Since the last postseason without a series sweep -- 2003 -- fans have been clearing out their broom closets to observe these zip jobs: 2007
World Series: Boston over Colorado
NLCS: Colorado over Arizona
NLDS: Colorado over Philadelphia; Arizona over Chicago
ALDS: Boston over Los Angeles 2006
ALCS: Detroit over Oakland
ALDS: Oakland over Minnesota
NLDS: New York over Los Angeles 2005
World Series: Chicago White Sox over Houston
ALDS: Chicago over Boston
NLDS: St. Louis over San Diego 2004
World Series: Boston over St. Louis
ALDS: Boston over Anaheim What gives? The easy answer is to ascribe it to momentum, that often-immovable force that can be impossible to reverse with a finish line in sight, especially in a short series. As Detroit manager Jim Leyland told The Associated Press on Sunday night, "I think a lot of it is timing, when you catch a team. I think the big leagues is pretty simple: It doesn't matter which league they're in, you play a team that's hot and you just get beat."
Home | News | Multimedia | Photos
But that doesn't explain the Boston Red Sox, who sprung for both of their World Series sweeps from deep ALCS holes: down 3-0 to the Yankees in 2004, and 3-1 to the Indians this month.The trendy answer is to credit AL superiority. After all, AL teams have swept three World Series in a four-year span, the 2005 White Sox (over Houston) joining the two Boston editions. Never before had there been three World Series sweeps in any four-year span. Yet, in the midst of that, the St. Louis Cardinals administered nearly as bad a beating to the Tigers in taking the 2006 Series in five games. Besides, 10 of the sweeps since 2004 have come in intradivisional series, exempt from any disparity between the leagues. So the correct answer may be that the sweeps trend is simply a quirk, or at most the product of several unrelated factors. For instance, the Angels suffered two ALDS sweeps to Boston while at a clear competitive disadvantage -- by top run producer Jose Guillen's suspension in 2004, and by an injury siege to their entire starting outfield earlier this month. Then again, maybe the latest World Series just ended too soon for the Rockies. That appeared to be the conviction of one of their club owners, who wouldn't concede Boston superiority. "If you give us 10 games against them, we'll beat them six," Charlie Monfort said. So it's six out of the next six. Swell, that would be another sweep.

2.53/5 rDev -34.3%
Poured from 22oz into a tulip.
I had two bottles brought to me in August straight from the brewery. Drank one that night, cellered the other one, but did it wrong and it started to skunk, so drank it while it was still saveable. The below is from notes on the first beer, which was in bottle for less than 72 hours.
A: When poured correctly into the tulip a pronounced head is left that will support the bottle cap. The head isn't going anywhere either leaves lacing all the way down that clings fast and doesn't slowly migrate down the glass. The beer is a hazy yellow, but a little darker than other IPA's, such as Stone's Ruination.
S: It's an IPA, so first off you smell hops, followed by more hops, then a little pine smell, followed by hops again. Once your olfactory senses have been sufficiently stunned into submission, other nuances of the beer become apparent such as citrus notes and some flower essences that I can't peg exactly. The effect is to definitely let you know this is an IPA, but nothing really stands out above the rest.
T: Citrusy and hoppy are the two best adjectives here. They both combine in equal amounts to give you a unique IPA taste. This is however, a lot lighter on the hops presence then one would expect from an Emperial IPA and especially from Stone. It comes across a bit reserved as if Stone pulled back at the last minute from making a more substantial IPA.
M: The feel is OK, but a bit over carbonated for an IPA, this combined by an overly dry feeling, leave me less than impressed.
D: The brew didn't live up to what I've come to expect from DIPA styles and from Stone. While I wouldn't turn a glass of this down, I wouldn't spend my own money on another bottle or glass. Instead, for a good IPA and Stone product, I would turn back to Ruination.

I think this years Anniversary offering is a great idea,going to the style roots but with enough American "pizazz" to make it interesting to the American hophead palate.Poured into a imperial nonic a dulled lighter golden with a light infusion of orange,a very well defined white head atop,the proper glassware worked wonders.Big leafy hops in the nose,as green as all get out,light citrus but not the grapefruit rind,resiny feel of an American IPA wich is right for the style,a noticeable sweet dough/biscuit malt base holds true as well.Hop flavors are slightly medicinal and leafy from the start,a light mineral note as well,light caramel malt again holds true to the finish,alcohol only becomes noticeable after it warms a bit.A "not in your face brash" offering for this years anniversary beer from Stone.

Appearance - This one is a beautiful orange in color with a light and fluffy head that screams of delicacy.
Smell - The hops are light and very fresh, sharp but easy on the nose. This is a complex and refined hop aroma that is hard to describe. It is very non-traditional and as I understand it made with British hops. There's a kind of citrus, fruit-like character to the nose but not the big orange or grapefruit that you find in a lot of American IPAs. It's not a hop monster like Ruination but more like if you take the lightness of a good British hopping then "Stone it up" about 100 degrees then there you have it.
The balance of the nose is near perfection and would be even more interesting with a year in the cellar to grow the malt a bit. Right now though it is still properly balanced if a bit on the hop side. There's a classic ESB-type of yeasty note to the malt base and a bit of sweetness that is again very pure and natural.
Taste - This travels true from nose to tongue. The hops seem more floral here and mate squarely with the sharpened ESB yeasty notes. The sugars up front are incredible and really not like anything I've had before. It is a very pleasant sugary kind of sweet flavor like sugar water.
Mouthfeel - This is where the beer leaves its mark. It's borderline medium-bodied and not at all heavy like an American DIPA but OMG is this thing bitter. This is more bitter than any other Stone beer that I've had and is so dry it will make you scream uncle a few times. This is self-generating revenue here as every sips just makes you want to take another one.
Drinkability - I am a big fan of creativity and this is just amazing. It is so different yet so good and really was a very daring project that IMO could not have been done any better and certainly not by any other brewery. In almost every other case when an American brewer of "big beers" takes on a non-traditional style and beefs it up it is a holy mess, but here the folks at Stone showed why they are the top brewery on the West Coast.

A: The pour is a hazy golden straw color with a dense white head on it.
S: The nose is quite inviting (at first). Initially there is plenty of fruitiness to it--pineapple and grapefruit, especially. Then some lightly floral and spicy hops come into the picture along with a very distinct grassiness.
T: Initially I really liked the flavor of this as it matched the nose nearly perfectly. As the beer warmed up a little bit, the hop flavor became grassy and very spicy. A good bitterness to it without much in the way of malt (typical Stone beer).
M: The body is perhaps on the light end of medium with a moderate and tingling carbonation.
D: I usually like Stone's anniversary beers, but this one just didn't quite do it for me. I guess if I'm going to have any more of these, I'll have to drink them quickly.

Stone 14th Anniversary Emperial Ipa... 8.9% alcohol content. Brewed in the British way and with all British ingredents. Poured into a snifter.
A- Pours a golden orange fluid with mildly active white head that settles to a thick frothy top and heavy patchy lacing. Looking into the light the colors are shown as a medium orange center with light firey lemon juice colors on the the outer glass areas.
S- Upfront is a overly ripe oranges and tangerines. Soft overtones of alcohol esters open the nose to a deep malty essence of woody carmel and figs. Has an English IPA smell but with large American dryhopping.
T-M- Taste is biting with bitter citrus and grassy hop flavors. Bitter hits of grapefruit and tangy fresh cut grass. Backbone is malty and full of charactor. Sweet hints of carmel malts and musty barley are excellent. Thick brown sugar flavors linger with the beer warming. Mouthfeel is smooth and dry. Lightly astringent on the tongue stinging with bitterness.
D- A hell of a drinkable 8.9% alcohol beer that packs a beautiful flavor and is of the upmost drinkablity.

On tap at Brixies in Brookfield Il, served in a 12oz. snifter
The beer pours a hazy golden yellow with a very lacy white head. A decent layer of lasting bubbles adorn the top of the beer.
The nose is strong but not too over the top like I expected from a Stone anniversary beer. Strong herbal and grass hop aroma with just a a tinge of lemon at the the end. A semi-sweet malt backbone backs up the barrage of hops.
I'm enjoying the bitterness in this beer. With most Stone beers the bitterness is overly harsh but this is much smoother. The hop flavor is very earthy with herbal flavors. A sweet finish for an IPA with some alcohol flavor at the end. A really unique hop profile that I kind of enjoyed and a nice diversion from my usual preference of citrus hop bombs.
The mouthfeel and carbonation is near perfect for my tastes. This beer is dangerously drinkable and I finished my snifter without much effort, palate fatigue. I applaud Stone for taking a chance with this beer. While not my favorite DIPA, I can't see all the hate this beer is getting.

Another winner from Stone. Even after a year of aging, this IPA This beer poured a nice lightly cloudy golden color with a nice white head. Smell was quite fruity with lots of nice grapefruit and strawberry notes. Flavor was nice with peppery hops right off the bat followed by a nice semi sweet malt backbone and another dose of dry bitterness on the back end that begged you to take another sip. Match this with a nice light mouthfeel and this is a very enjoyable beer. Recommended.

Happy to be able to purchase this in Illinois this year!! Always excited to try a new Stone anniversary brew...however nothing has quite compared to the greatness that was the 10th anniversary. Pours into my glass a clear sunshine yellow with some hazy particulate and a quarter inch of crisp white foam that leaves some trails of lacing. Aromas are thick with a crisp, biscuity malt and a heaping helping of grassy, herbal hops. Somewhat spicy and earthy as well.
First sip brings smooth crisp malts with some biscuit character and a bit of sweetness. Grassy, spicy herbal hops kick in along with a nice burst of bitterness as the brew flows down. Somewhat earthy with a good balance overall. Pretty tasty for an English IPA!
Mouthfeel is smooth and fairly easy drinking for an IPA almost hitting 9% abv. Good carbonation and well balanced overall. I've never been a huge fan of English IPA's but I thought this was pretty tasty and a change of pace. Might have to grab another bomber soon.

I really, really liked this beer.
In a tulip glass the beer was a gold color with a copious white head that was very sticky.
Peppery aroma, floral, sweet malt.
The taste was peppery up front, followed by some very sweet malt, with a late hops finish.
Incredibly smooth and balanced, great to drink.
Hope it likes my cellar.

I was pretty stoked to try this beer but unfortunately, Stone has swung on and missed big. The beer goes in a three step process: Aggressive hop bitter (surprise surprise)...2...1.. hmmm that tastes interesting and not too bad...2...1... ugh gross, is that a sweaty sock?
so for those of you at home, it will taste "ok", then "not bad", then "ugh, gross."
Die hard stone fans and people who don't get to drink great IPAs whenever they want will say its good. But it isnt. Way better stuff down here in so-cal to be wasting a penny on this beer.

Notes from 2/12/11
A - Pours a very hazy straw color wit one finger of rather persistent off-white head.
S - Pungent hops. Has a rather earthy aroma for such a hop-forward beer.
T - I had this fresh but didn't review. The hops have definitely faded, but are still in abundance. Has an almost salty taste, like licking the side of an old sea-faring vessel (which I mean in mostly a good way). This definitely is't for everyone, but I enjoyed it. A decent amount of malt backbone to balance.
M - Medium mouthfeel that is somewhat oily. Finishes dry.
O - An interesting brew. One to savor in small quantities

22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow orange with a medium creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is a little sweet bready fruit with a lot of pungent resiny hops and a little pepper.
The flavor is a little sweet fruit and bready malts followed by a big resiny, peppery hop finish that lingers in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a huge one sided hop bomb. It's fun though, and surprising that the British hops can taste so American.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 1 pint 6oz bottle into a tulip glass. The bottle info includes its abv (8.9%), born on date (June2010), ingredients used and a good disruption of the beer as the motivation behind it.
Appearance: The body has a pale orange-ish tan color. It is quite hazy but carbonation is still visible. From the pour it makes a tall bright white head of tightly packed creamy foam. This slowly fades to thin foam covering that hangs on well and makes nice lace rings on the glass.
Smell: The aroma is full of bright leafy, floral/botanical (almost minty) and citrusy hops with a hint of pine as well. Under that are notes of clean pale malt and bready yeast.
Taste/Palate: The flavor is in your face hops right from the start. It is complex and brings all hop aroma notes to the flavor. The malt is clean, biscuity and adds a bit of sweetness at the start which makes the hop notes pop. There is a lightly noticeable sweet alcohol as well that adds some warmth. In the finish dry bready yeast and strong hop bitterness come out and dry things right up. This bitterness lingers on the tongue for some time in a good way. The body is just on the full side with nice lively carbonation.
Notes: What more can I say I absolutely love this beer and this brewery!!!

22oz brown bomber.
While the head looks awesome and the retention is out of this world the cloudiness only goes away as things warm up. Pungent hoppy nose with orchard, citric and evergreen aromas. Very smooth, nice creamy back. West coast hopping style with English hops screams with pungent bitterness and a long linger of earthy rind and woody flavors. Maltiness stands there and say to the hops "What the he'll?!" Bit of grain and yeast but clearly the hops own this brewski. 8.9% ... Yeah it is there, clean and warming with some vague fruit.
Ok, so Stone goes the English way ... All the way with unforgiving handfuls of hops. I dig it ...

Bomber pours a hazy, light honey gold body with a large vanilla hued head that retains well and leaves attractive patchy lacing.
Lovely aroma boasts lemon and orange zest, honeyed biscuit, and an herbal mintiness.
Medium body has a zesty carbonation and prevailing dryness.
Taste has a lot of dry and bitter lemon zest hoppiness, with an edge of grapefruit. Honeyed biscuity malt sweetness balances well. There is a herbal mintiness throughout, the only English trait(if that can be called such) I can discern. Finishes clean and dry with a lasting lemonrind aftertaste.
Satisfying and highly drinkable. Another solid product from the folks at Stone. Happy Anniversary!

Bomber from Bierkraft in Bklyn, NY, "June 2010" etched on the side of the bottle. Pours moderately clouded, dull and soft tangerine. The off white head is large and lasting, slowly going to moon craters, leaves thicker blobs of stuck on lacing and then nice looking low sheeting sticking around. Moderate hop nose, leafy and floral at least to my nose. So smooth, so tasty, so much depth of the flavors, what else is to be expected from the quality brewers of Stone?? Moderate (relatively speaking) hop presence, mostly leafy and with tea like qualities, malty base providing the under support. Enjoyable DEIPA.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is an unattractive mix of grassy hops and sweat. The flavor is orange citrus hops, grassy hops and bready malt. I also get some resiny hops and medium to high bitterness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not near the beer I expected this to be. Not terrible, but still disappointing.

22oz bomber poured into a DFH signature glass.
Pours a very light straw hazy yellow with a small white thin sticky head. Nose is Not too hoppy, it's more earthy and malty with light vegetial notes.
Taste comes through though, it's really kinda cool. It's very light and not over the top, but it's pretty sweet and malty with some very strong citrus flavors with a very nice hop bite on the finish. I had no idea British ingredients could have this much pop! I forget this is an English IPA, so it's supposed to be a bit different. The mouthfeel is light and sharp, really drinkable.

Pouring a cloudy straw-yellow haze with floating green hop chunks, Emperial IPA opens with a fruity, hoppy, effervescent nose bubbling over with not the expected pungent grapefruits and pines one would expect from a beer with, reportedly, 100 IBUs, but a floral, almost bubble-gum like sugary rosewater flair, as if rose petals and rose hips had been infused into a light grapefruit spritzer, then sprinkled with Candi sugar. Touches of toast crust provide grounding, but the beer is largely sugary in aroma, and so saturated with sugars that the bottle's mouth is sticky. The effect is enticing, but strangely so, the aromas not quite resembling those of a beer, but still delicious.
On the tongue, the beer opens with a brown sugar rush, then moves quickly into a bitter, hop-based middle, the hops providing pine and grapefruit rind, as well as lemon, dandelion stem, and eucalyptus notes. Hints of anise and pepper linger in the background, and the soft palate burns gently under the 100 IBUs. A good toast and biscuit base helps offset the sugary bitters, and brown sugars bring sweeter notes, joined by touches of orange liqueur and apricot. The aftertaste is largely bitter grapefruit and pine hops, with hints of toasted wheat stems, and lingers for some time. Mouthfeel is medium, and carbonation is medium-high, adding to the burning sensations on the tongue.
Overall, this is excellent fare, though I suspect many will find the hops overpowering, especially in their tendency to reproduce stem and twig flavors, as if one was eating the plant as well as drinking the plant infusion. Still, the beer is nicely balanced, the hops providing a lovely palate of mingling and delicious flavors, and the malts bringing good fruit esters and biscuit flavors. Well worth trying, and a beer worthy of being bottled again.

22oz bottle at cellar temp poured into an imperial pint glass. june 2010 on the side of the bottle.
pours a slightly cloudy pale yellow/golden color. big 2-3 fingers of white head, great retention leaving a nice half inch of head the whole glass. very nice sticky lace too.
definatly a different aroma than i was expecting. quite perfumey, spicy hops. lemony citrus as well. pepper. a little bit of yeastiness.
i enjoy the taste more than the aroma, not to say the aroma is terrible or anything, it just doesnt live up to the taste. you get the perfumy, spicy, and lemon citrus hops in the taste as well. also some american like hops detectable, almost tropical fruity like. some pepper is noticable. a little bit of pale pilsner malt. maybe a little of that rare british yeast strain apparent,(as mentioned in the description on the bottle) but its slight. and holy bitterness, very bitter exspecially off the first few sips. finishs with a whole lot of lingering bitterness and citrus hop flavors.
nice mouthfeel, maybe a touch heavy for the style, but nice. resinous hops on the palate. good carbonation.
drinks good for the fairly high abv. one bomber would prolly be enough in a session, but i could definatly revisit this again. a good beer, but doesnt really live up to some of the other anniversary ales by stone. definatly worth a try though. what i like most about this ipa is that it is still really hoppy, but so much different than the majority of ipas, even english ipas out there.
this went very nicely with some jalapeno cheddar cheese, or any spicy cheese for that matter.

Murky, hazy orange, auburn, and copper with a thin white head. Lines of lacing down the glass.
Grapefruit, orange, and pine aromas dominate along with an earthy and floral scent from the hops. Very little malt character. By far, my favorite aspect of this beer.
The flavor is hoppy, though not particularly bright, floral, citrusy, or for that matter, enjoyable. The flavors seem muddled together and focus on the earthy (even dirt-like) flavors as opposed to the bright citrus ones found in the aroma.
Medium to thick bodied.
Not one of my favorite offerings from Stone, though not a bad beer by any means. I wish I'd sought this one out when fresh.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - More than half of the mail-in ballots distributed to voters around San Diego County have been returned as of Monday, according to Registrar Deborah Seiler.
She told City News Service that 901,816 absentee ballots were sent out, and 464,127 had been returned as of this afternoon. About 58 percent of registered Republicans had returned their ballots, compared to 52 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of those who declined to state a preference, according to the registrar.
"The voter interest is really very healthy," Seiler said. Around 1,900 people went to the Registrar of Voters office in Kearny Mesa on Saturday to cast ballots, a very solid total, she said.
She said she expects most of the outstanding mail-in ballots to be returned by the time polls close Tuesday night. Throughout the rest of today, people with ballots can drop them off at the registrar's office at 5201 Ruffin Road, roughly off Interstate 15 and Clairemont Mesa Boulevard.
"It'll be easier tomorrow, they can go to any polling place and drop off their ballot," Seiler said.
The strong early rate of returns for the ballots mean that the initial release of results on election night could be higher than her original prediction of 25 percent of the vote, which she made at a meeting with media representatives last month.
"We could have pretty close to 30 percent (of the count) released at 8 p.m., if we have a 75 percent turnout," Seiler said.
San Diego area voters will help choose a president, senator and a variety of local and state legislators; decide whether to approve tax hikes proposed by Gov. Jerry Brown and whether to abolish the state's death penalty; and consider another construction bond for the San Diego Unified School District.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Election officials say long lines at some polling locations in Tennessee could delay voting results.
All polls were scheduled to close at 8 p.m. Eastern and 7 p.m. Central, but any voters still in line at those times were being allowed to go into the polling booths.
Elections Division spokesman Blake Fontenay said his office was told before polls closed that there were still people in line to vote in the state's largest counties - Shelby, Davidson and Knox.
The Tuesday election included the presidential race, one U.S. Senate seat, all nine U.S. House contests, the entire state House and half of the state Senate.
More than 1.4 million Tennessee voters cast ballots during early voting.

IGST 0250 / PSCI 0250 / INTL 0250 - Intl Diplomacy & Mod. S. Asia
International Diplomacy and Modern South Asia
In this course we will examine current political and economic issues in the countries of South Asia - Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Bhutan. We will first examine the background of the South Asian region in general (pre-colonial and colonial eras) and of South Asian countries after independence. We will look at specific interstate and intrastate issues, focusing on the combined quests for political stability and economic development. Students will look at topical issues from the perspective of an officer working in a U.S. Embassy or in a U.S. foreign policy agency. The course will combine rigorous academic understanding of the region with current policy issues. Readings will include both academic studies and contemporary policy/issues papers. This course is equivalent to PSCI 0250. 3 hrs. lect./disc.
Spring 2012, Spring 2014
IGST 0403 / PSCI 0403 / INTL 0403 - India and China Compared
India and China: 21st Century Superpowers?
In this course we will look at recent political and economic developments in India and China. We will examine the economic rise of India and China in contrast to their earlier economic stagnation. We will contrast political evolution into India's democracy and China's one-party autocracy, and we will study relations between the two states and their relations with the U.S. and the world. This course is equivalent to PSCI 0403. (PSCI 0103 or waiver) 3 hrs. sem. (Comparative Politics)
Fall 2011, Spring 2013
IGST 0483 / PSCI 0483 - Rise of Asia and U.S. Policy ▲
The Rise of Asia and US Policy
In this course we will study what is arguably the most important strategic development of the 21st century: how the rise of Asia presents security challenges to the region and the United States. Drawing from international relations scholarship, the course will focus on foreign policy challenges and potential responses. These challenges include both traditional security and nontraditional areas such as water and the environment. We will integrate the analysis of these issues in South, East, and Southeast Asia with study of the policy process, in part through simulations and role-playing exercises. This course is equivalent to PSCI 0483. 3 hrs. sem.

INTL 0251 / PSCI 0251 - Identity/Conflict South Asia
Identity and Conflict in South Asia
In this course we will examine political development and conflict in South Asia through the concept of identity. South Asians take on a variety of identities -- ethnic, religious, linguistic, caste, national, etc. These identities often form the basis of political mobilization and both inter- and intrastate conflict. We will study the general concept of identity, including how identities are constructed and used, and then specific manifestations in South Asia. We will also examine the question of whether these identities were constructed during colonial or post-colonial times, or have an earlier basis.
Spring 2011, Fall 2012
INTL 0442 / PSCI 0404 - Jihad Vs Mcworld
Jihad vs. McWorld
In the new millennium, we may all be part of a global market economy, but can we live in a global market society? This seminar examines two major forces shaping the world today. One is "McWorld," a homogenizing global trend resulting from modern technology, communications, and an increasingly interdependent capitalist world economy. The other is "Jihad," a resurgence of ethnic politics, fundamentalist religious movements, and the "politics of identity." We will analyze the origins, development, and interaction of these two seemingly contradictory trends through case studies from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. This course is equivalent to PSCI 0404. (Approval required) 3 hrs. sem.

(WMC-TV) - Three men who are accused of trying to rob a Mt. Moriah doughnut shop made one big tactical error. They did not factor in Sokha Chin.
Chin left Cambodia when she was 8 years old. She spent eight years in a refugee camp. She came to America and spent a lifetime working in other doughnut shops until she owned her own.
These three guys with guns were no match for her.
On Wednesday, a man walked into the shop and ordered a doughnut. Police say he was acting as a diversion because seconds later two other men walked in, one of whom was pointing a gun, and demanded all the money from the cash register.
Instead of giving them money, Chin grabbed a can of pepper spray she keeps hidden near the register and sprayed the men in their faces until they ran off.
The entire incident was caught on camera. At this point, two of the three men are locked up at 201 Poplar.
Timothy Dunavant is charged attempted aggravated robbery. His bond has been set at $30,000. Larry Douglas is also charged with attempted aggravated robbery. His bond has been set at $25,000.
"We want to build customers the best we can, and we work so hard for our money," said Chin.
She still keeps the pepper spray handy to protect her business.

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

Sweet Youth Group Tumblers! by Youth Group Board Showing off our new cups! - almost 2 years ago
"This is a picture of the youth group's board from Temple Rodef Shalom in Falls Church displaying our new tumblers! We decided this year to reward our members with free tumblers as a perk for joining and attending youth group events. This picture is from one of our weekly board meetings (the board consists of 16 high school students who have various responsibilities to make the youth group successful). We are looking forward to distributing the cups soon to the participants in our youth group in the coming weeks!"

Spending the Holidays....
Submitted by mojo on
If you're scrambling for holiday gifts and you're looking for something not too expensive that will require VERY LITTLE THOUGHT OR EFFORT on the part of you, the magnanimous giver, Mojo oh-so nonchalantly suggests you buy one or two or a dozen or so of her books she has recently put up for sale at fine booksellers everywhere.
These are actual books written by our beloved Mojo, mind you, not a stupid compilation of blog posts you can read for free, or crappy books others have given her and now she's foisting off on people who just want something that once resided, however briefly, in Mojo's hot little hands. No--real books; novels, as a matter of fact. So tell your friends, wake the neighbors, and rip 'em apart on the reviews on Amazon if you have the notion. (You could say NICE things about them too, if you like, but when was the last time Mojo ever said anything nice about YOU, huh? I rest my case.) More Mojo!>>

Mother's Story is a true account of a remarkable woman's journey through life. This woman is my mother, born Annunziata Ludovico, in Gioia del Colle, Italy, but known by most people as Nancy Smith from Portsville, Delaware.
Her story is full of adversity, from her birth in 1917 to her life as an immigrant in New York, and then as a wife and mother in Delaware. Her faith, strength, and compassion helped her to find peace and hope in life, even after the tragic event in 1958.
I wrote this book for my grandchildren because I want them to know their beautiful, wise great-grandmother.

Voting Home / ODC Dance Commons
Nominated for: BEST Dance Studio
ODC is a groundbreaking contemporary arts institution with longstanding roots in the San Francisco community. The organization was formed by Brenda Way in 1971 as a collective of artists at Oberlin College in Ohio where the name ODC originates (Oberlin Dance Collective). Adventure, a certain irreverence and the joy of moving were key ingredients to the core philosophy of our founding members. In 1976, the sixteen dancers, painters, writers, photographers and musicians of the collective bid farewell to Ohio, piled into a big yellow bus and came west to San Francisco to find a context for their artistic vision and social ideals.
Now one of the most active centers for dance on the West Coast, we are unique for our fully integrated program vision and far-reaching impact. Our two building campus, which will have eight studios, 2 performance venues and several office suites, is home to a world-class dance company, a professional, pre-professional, and recreational dance training program, a Healthy Dancer's Clinic, and a nationally regarded presenting venue.
Operating in San Francisco's Mission district for 37 years, our programs and numerous neighborhood activities have contributed to community development, stability and access to creative art-making. Presenting, co-presenting, scholarship, work exchange, apprentice, sponsorship and rental programs are all here to serve the large professional dance, music and theater communities in San Francisco.
Gorgeous, clean studio, fantastic teachers, great variety-- love this studio! ODC rocks!

One of the common problems with carPCs is standardization. Every manufacturer uses different systems for in vehicle communication, every carPC owner has different hardware and even the carPCs themselves vary significantly. Some front ends try to design for each specific combination of hardware....but we take a more openMobile approach.
Introducing the openMobile Sensors Framework......
The sensors framework is completely generic, datatype neutral and incredibly fast. RawHardware plugins are designed for each device, similar to drivers of an OS, and from that point on, higherlevel code builds on top of it. Sensors use a universal PID system combined with plaintext names, so even if a sensor was never conceived of when a skin or plugin was designed, it can be interfaced with perfectly. Most importantly of all, sensors can build on existing sensors (aka sensor nesting). This allows for minimal OBDII interface sensors (providing only a single get/set functionality), with a GMLan sensor plugin above it interfacing with the OBDII sensor and providing the rest of the framework with GM specific sensors. For an even more universal approach a CanBus sensor could be used in-between depending on how the GMLan plugin is designed.
You will start seeing more and more sensor plugins roll out as we expand our developer base...and more and more skins building on these features as the plugins become available. As an example, the weather data providers in 0.8 and higher can automatically update weather each time you enter a new city.

ST. LOUIS — In a move that signals the St. Louis Blues' urgency to win now, they signed former Dallas Stars captain Brenden Morrow to a one-year, $1.5 million contract on Monday.
Morrow's history in Dallas with Blues coach Ken Hitchcock and general manager Doug Armstrong helped lead him to St. Louis, as did conversations with former Stars and Blues veteran forward Jamie Langenbrunner, Blues defenseman Barret Jackman and others.
"I wanted to be on a contender for sure," Morrow said. "Knowing Army was there and Hitch, having success with those guys...they knew what to expect from me and I knew what to expect from them.
"The Blues have been a team that's been knocking on the door the last few years and I think they're going to be a team that can push through it. I want to be a part of that."
He also played for Hitchcock and Armstrong with Team Canada, including the 2010 Olympic gold medal squad.
The 34-year-old Morrow had 12 goals and 27 points in 44 games last season, adding two goals and four points in 14 playoff games despite playing with a knee-cap injury. He played the final 15 regular-season contests and the playoffs with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"Until he got hurt in the playoffs last year, he was arguably one of their top four or five forwards," Hitchcock said.
"I kept coming back to I'd rather have him on my team than trying to compete against him, because I know the competitive level that he can go to," said Armstrong, who had been talking to Morrow since July. "I know how deep that river runs, I've seen it personally. Last year in the playoffs he hurts his knee cap quite badly and plays through that.
"That sort of hidden leadership and hidden commitment that's hidden to the fans but understood in the (dressing) room, that's necessary to have a championship team."
The move gives the Blues 15 forwards under contract and pushes them nearly to the limit of the NHL salary cap, which should lead to more personnel moves this week.
It also was a deal the Blues revisited after locking up their own restricted free agents most notably defenseman Alex Pietrangelo.
"I think we're indicating that we want to try to compete with the top teams," Armstrong said.
After being traded to the Penguins, Morrow had six goals and 14 points in 15 games.
"I think he's' going to give Ken a lot of different options," Armstrong said. "Obviously he's played with top players in the past, at the trade deadline he jumped right in and played with (Evgeni) Malkin and (James) Neal and had 14 points in 15 games.
"I see him fitting in our group of nine or 10 forwards at some place. He can go up the lineup some nights and some nights other players can take that role. That's what we're trying to create, the ability to have many players do the job that's necessary."
Morrow dealt with neck and back injuries while in Dallas, but underwent a rigorous off-season training program hoping to put those problems behind him.
"I don't think I'm the 19, 20-minute guy I was five, six years ago," Morrow said. "But I still feel like I can contribute playing some hard minutes, being that front guy and add some value to the locker room. The last few years have had some injury issues, but those are all past and the body feels good. I'm a motivated player right now."
He met with Armstrong, Hitchcock and several Blues players last Thursday and underwent a complete physical.
"He's got the body of a 34-year-old NHL warrior," Armstrong said.
Morrow said finding the right fit was the most important part of his decision. He sought out Langenbrunner, a former Stars teammate who ended his career with the Blues.
"We spoke the day before I made my decision and went over a number of things; his time there and his experience, what he thought the team needed and how close they were to competing," Morrow said. "He's won a Stanley Cup, so I valued his opinion a lot. We talked some things through and he seem that team being a team that's been knocking the door and they're getting close to walking through it."
Morrow, the 25th overall pick in the 1997 draft, has 249 goals and 542 points in 850 NHL games.
"He's got game left," Hitchcock said. "He's got game left because he's got good hands around the net, he's willing to go into the dirty areas to score, especially on the power play. I think you can play him up and down the lineup depending on the score, depending on the game, depending on how many minutes he's played the night before."

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Cavaliers forward Antawn Jamison has returned to Cleveland's game against Phoenix after sustaining a bruised left leg and ankle.
Jamison was injured while battling for a rebound midway through the first quarter Sunday. Phoenix center Marcin Gortat and Jamison both fell to the floor, with Gortat landing on Jamison's leg. Jamison was on the floor for several minutes clutching his leg, but walked to the locker room on his own. He returned in the second quarter.
Jamison is Cleveland's second-leading scorer, averaging 18.4 points.

Last week at the Mestalla, Valencia did enough to keep their Copa Del Rey semifinal tie against Barcelona an interesting one. Just like they did in league play, they were able to hold the Blaugranas to a draw. On this occasion, they only nabbed one away goal in a 1-1 draw, and that goal came off of a set piece from Carles Puyol. Without Andres Iniesta, the Barcelona attack looked very average. Los Che will be underdogs at Camp Nou on Wednesday, but they're not being written off entirely.
Iniesta is still out, and now Sergio Busquets is out as well. Barcelona is thrilled that his laceration is nothing more, but he still needs time for his massive wound to heal before he can play a professional football match. Javier Mascherano should step into the center of midfield, with Puyol and Gerard Pique resuming their defensive pairing.
Pep Guardiola could opt to move Cesc Fabregas or Thiago Alcantara into a forward position, but he's more likely to start Isaac Cuenca or Christian Tello up top along with Lionel Messi and Alexis Sanchez. Cuenca has been a pleasant surprise all year for Barcelona, while Tello made a spectacular debut against Real Sociedad at the weekend.
Valencia's lineup is likely to be unchanged from the one that played at the Mestalla. The pressure will be on David Albelda and Ever Banega to win the ball and spring counter-attacks, which they're excellent at doing. Jordi Alba and Jeremy Mathieu will attack Barcelona's right frequently, and their best route to a crucial away goal will likely be down that flank as Daniel Alves gets caught too far up the pitch.
Barcelona don't lose at Camp Nou and Valencia haven't been great this year outside of their home stadium, but they have the talent and the right style of play to nick a draw off Barcelona. Anything but a Blaugranas win would be a surprise, but only a very minor one. Barcelona are certainly the better side, but Valencia have already proven on two separate occasions that their style of play and their left side presents a matchup nightmare for the Cules.
Barcelona vs. Valencia
Game Date/Time: Wednesday, February 8, 3:00 p.m. ET, 8:00 p.m. local
Venue: Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain
TV: GolTV (USA), Sky Sports 2 (UK)

Low Wedge Peep Toe with AB Crystals Style AJUSTIN10 7 7
Happy in Henderson They are even prettier in person. Good quality. Well made. Gorgeous! Worth the wait until they were finally in stock. August 14, 2014
Beautiful! Bought these shoes for my wedding and they are perfect! Every time I put them on to show someone they compliment me. The only issue I had is that I had to order half size up to get them to fit my foot. I normally wear a 7 wide. I tried them on silver in the store, but they only had a 7.5. The 7.5 was big, so I thought I would be good with a 7. Had the send that back for a 7.5. I've been wearing them for a few hours a week to make sure they're broken in for my wedding. I have those heel insert things and a gel cushion thing to make them fit better. If they fit perfectly with out that stuff I would have given it 5 hearts. May 9, 2014
Beautiful sparkle! These flats are beautiful!!! I love the crystals and the amount of sparkle on them, the peep toe is a nice touch and the heel is the perfect height! The only down fall is that they are TOO wide. I had to return them, hoping a half size smaller will fit my narrow feet better. April 2, 2014
Very Misleading These shoes were exactly what I was looking to wear on my wedding day. I really wanted pretty flats so that I was comfortable and able to dance all night at my wedding. I wear a 7.5 women���s shoes and have about 45 pairs that are a 7.5, so I ordered this shoe in a 7.5. I was very disappointed and frustrated that these shoes run VERY large and are not a normal women���s 7.5. When I walk in them the entire back comes off��� not to mention how stiff and uncomfortable the shoes are. After speaking with customer service, I am very unsatisfied that David���s Bridal refused to pay for the return shipping even though the sizing of their product does not fit standard sizes. Due to a very disappointing experience with David���s Bridal, I will be looking for shoes (and all other bridal accessories) at a different company that has good customer service. February 27, 2014

Samsung Launches ISOCELL Sensor Technology
Samsung Electronics announced its new advanced pixel technology for CMOS image sensors. The ISOCELL technology is claimed to "substantially increase" light sensitivity and to effectively control the absorption of electrons, resulting in higher colour fidelity even in poor light. The company argues that while back-side illumination - introduced a few years ago - did improve the light absorption of each pixel, "BSI technology also faced limitations in improving image quality as pixel sizes continued to decrease." Samsung's patent-pending ISOCELL technology forms a physical barrier between neighboring pixels – isolating the pixel. This isolation enables more photons to be collected from the micro-lens and absorbed into the correct pixel's photodiode minimising undesired electrical crosstalk between pixels – by as much as 30% compared to BSI sensors - and allowing expanded full well capacity, leading to greater dynamic range. The first Samsung image sensor to adopt this new technology, the S5K4H5YB 8-megapixel imager, is currently sampling to mobile device manufacturers with mass production scheduled for Q4 2013.

Edgertronic High-Speed Camera
A team of hardware and software architects and designers led by two MIT-educated engineers has developed a special camera which can shoot high-resolution 1280x1024-pixel movies at 494fps, 720p at 701fps, VGA at 1,849fps and tiny 192x96-pixel videos at an incredible 17,791fps. These ultra-high frame rates enable super-slow-motion playback at 30fps, allowing users to record and observe high-speed movements such as the smashing of a light bulb, the popping of a water-filled balloon or a hummingbird's wings in motion. The camera has been named "Edgertronic" in honour of MIT professor Harold Eugene Edgerton, a pioneer of ultra-high-speed photography. Equipped with a standard Nikon F mount and bundled with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens, the Edgertronic will be available for around $5,000. Those who back the Kickstarter campaign launched in order to help raise funds for the project can get a special "Kickstarter edition" complete with accessories by contributing $4,895 or more. Availability is slated for December. Scroll down / click through for a selection of sample videos shot with a working prototype.

New Reality Show for Style Photography
Back to Front TV has just announced a new reality show for style photography. The 9-episode series will take the form of a progressive elimination show that will "celebrate the essential relationship between style and photography," Back to Front TV said in a statement. Casting for the series will be conducted through a call for contestants, inviting anyone with a keen interest in photography to submit their best image and describe their motivation for participating in this exclusive first series. The show will break down the process with a mentor briefing and tasks being set for the contestants, who will need to prove their talent on real-life photo shoots. After the photo sessions, there will be a blind-judging process by which the contestant photographer's work is selected or rejected. For more information, contact the company via the address below.

Remote Camera Captures Eagle Preying on Deer
A remotely activated camera set up in a forest in the Russian Far East has photographed a rare instance of a golden eagle capturing a young sika deer. The deer's carcass was found two weeks later, just a few yards from the camera, initially puzzling researchers. "I saw the deer carcass first as I approached the trap on a routine check to switch out memory cards and change batteries, but something felt wrong about it. There were no large carnivore tracks in the snow, and it looked like the deer had been running and then just stopped and died," said Dr. Linda Kerley of the Zoological Society of London, who runs the camera trap project. "It was only after we got back to camp that I checked the images from the camera and pieced everything together. I couldn't believe what I was seeing."
