Postcards from paradise
02 February 2013 03:33 PM Categories: On writing | Graduate school
I shouldn't be writing, at least not here. I have eight chapters (down from eleven), a big chunk of the DSM-IV-TR,* background on the development of the soon-to-be-published DSM 5, and two scholarly articles to read as well as a practice exercise on statistics and a set of notes to write on psychoanalytic theory. We're talking hundreds of pages of material, though I can already tell it will be impossible for me to read every single word. I just have to figure out the gist of things, learn the criteria for diagnosis, the tenets of theory, introduce myself to psychometrics and statistics. But a girl cannot live on counseling and psychology texts alone. She needs a bit of poetry, a bit of the emotional flash, an outlet for what gets pent up, the release of excess. So here we are, alone together again.
I want to be poetic, to illustrate the fleeting, transcendent thoughts I have, the ones I sometimes tap into the notes app on my iPhone as I speed walk to the BART station or rush to pick up the boy. But this is the somewhat nonsensical stuff I'm left with: feed visuals photo writing capture natural world in metaphor veil between and houses on hill like vein on rock, quartz in granite (?). The first is about the urge we have – I have, at least – to try and reveal the greater truth about reality by writing about it, capturing it in metaphor, or about the way I want to take what is in front of me, with its physicality and energy, its itness, and transmit it to others in a photograph. I am constantly taking pictures of the surreal and surprising, of heady nature with its outstretched limbs and tangles of branches, of disembodied concrete hands resting in the leaf-laden grass of someone else's front yard. This ability to transmit what I experience to you, to make the real more real, emotionally laden, to tug on the gossamer lines to memories you thought were forgotten, is heady stuff. And the houses-on-hill run-on thought? It is an example of my attempt to implement that metaphorical metamorphosis, to convey how the chains of houses in the highly populated Berkeley hills, visible from my bedroom window, the constant backdrop to every walk, form white lines in the dark trees, pale serpentine paths through the brown earth, like veins running through rock.
Sometimes, the thoughts emerge more fully formed, though often mysterious and occasionally over the top. They come in waves, five in a month and then a half year of silence:
You will wake up and see the shimmer in the distance that is me. Regret always comes two steps too late. (4/11)
Every window you pass is a way to enter a new life. (5/11)
I hate my body for its weakness. (5/11)
the places of secret memory (6/11)
Several latex gloves by handicapped seats, at least one turned inside out. (10/12, an observation that became a part of a post)
Tuesday is the day when I am gin-soaked in bitterness. (10/12)
My affection is a pathological thing, clingy. (1/13)
Sadly, at the moment I have very little poetry in me. I've just finished reading an overview of addiction and I'm distracted by thoughts about which beloved activity/substance I will forgo for two weeks for a paper assignment. I'm not going to go all Lenten sorority girl and give up chocolate. I could give up caffeine. I could let go of blogging and its associated compulsions for one painful fortnight. I've semi-given up alcohol, though now that my habit has been broken I'm enjoying a glass of wine with dinner on occasion. There's no fucking way I'm giving up Facebook. Should I do what is hardest (give up blogging) or what will have the most physical effect (forgoing that morning cup and a half of coffee or the occasional latte)? We'll see.
Look at the time! It's late. I have to go. I have to run. I have psychopathologies to read about and the afternoon is slipping away. Wish me luck!
*The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic Statistical Manual IV-R is the go-to place for mental illness classifications. The DSM 5 comes out in May.

The 2 cancers' that I beat were rhabdomyosarcoma in my right jaw muscle and osteosarcoma above my left knee. I also received a blood transfusion after chemo with West Nile virus in it. I contracted West Nile Encephalitis and was a vegetable even unable to talk for 4 months. I had to relearn everything. So if anyone wants to talk about a bad hand dealt to them I am a great listener and I'm pretty sure I know how you are feeling.

Hey Guys! I'm new to this site so I thought I'd introduce myself.
My name is Rachel, and at 14 years old I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Since then, I've gone into remission and then relapsed, so I had to have a stem cell transplant. I'm now 18 and in remission as far as I know, but I just had a CT scan and I'm really nervous about the results. I have this horrible feeling that my cancer's come back again. I'm trying to be positive but I don't think I can go through this for a third time.
I just wish I could feel like a normal kid again.

I THROW MY ZOFRAN IN THE AIR SOMETIMES SAYING AAYYOO… WHERE'D THE BOX GO? This should be made a like on facebook, if you ask me. To confuse people.
If anybody on here is British, add me? If everyone here isn't British, tell me to go drink tea and play croquet or whatever you think we do. And if you want someone to talk to (like there aren't enough lovely people already) then add me.
i hate having leukemia, i can't do anything anymore. i can't play baseball and i can't play soccer. i can't do what i used to do before all this happened, and worst of all i hate seeing my girlfriend suffer with me. she's always trying to help me think positive ,but it's very difficult to do when your in so much pain. Damn, i hate the fact that this is not only affecting me. but it is affecting her as well. why does this happen. !!!!!
I got my test results. They found two cysts in my groin. going to the ogyn (yuck) sometime next week. Hopefullly the pain will go away. I just want it to be next week.

Hey everyone! Good luck at the hospital for those of you who are in treatment! I can't wait for TLC tonight
Day by Day….waiting….
It's been almost 10 months since I got declared in remission from Hodgkin's Lymphoma. My best friend's birthday is next Wednesday. He would have been 18 this year. He passed away December 26, 2009 from cancer. It's not fair at all! I hate cancer! It makes me so sad to go to the hospital and see little kids stuck there playing toys like it's normal. I wish I could take all the pain away. It's hard. I try to keep a smile on my face as much as I can. Sometimes I feel like I have no one to talk to who truly understands. I go for a scan next week and my friends don't get why I am nervous. I hate scans. They show whether or not the cancer is still gone. I pray the entire time I am getting the scan that the cancer is still gone. I don't like waiting. This is so hard. I just hope things turn out for the best.

AirControlNET is a PC-based database tool for conducting pollutant emissions control strategy and costing analysis. It overlays a detailed control measure database on EPA emissions inventories to compute source- and pollutant-specific emission reductions and associated costs at various geographic levels (national, regional, local). It contains a database of control measures and cost information for reducing the emissions of criteria pollutants (e.g., NOx, SO2, VOC, PM10, PM2.5, NH3) as well as CO and Hg from point (utility and non-utility), area, nonroad, and mobile sources as provided in EPA's National Emission Inventory (NEI). Users of this tool may include their own inventory files within this tool, but these files must be in a suitable format to operate within ACN.
Four key modules currently within AirControlNET version 4.1 include:
1) Control Scenarios Module (CSM) that allows the user to select specific control measures from the database by pollutant, source, and geographic area to create an emissions reduction scenario with computed emissions reductions and associated costs. The user can then export this scenario into spreadsheet format for further analysis or into an input script for air quality modeling within REMSAD-ST (Pechan and ENVIRON, 2001 and 2002).
2) Least-Cost Module (LCM) that allows the user to obtain an emissions reduction scenario by source and geographic area consisting of the set of control measures that achieves a stated pollutant-specific emission reduction target (in tons or percentage) with the least amount of total annual costs.
3) Script Builder Module (SBM) that allows the user to develop 'control factor files' based on percent reductions by pollutant, source, and geographic area to create an emissions reduction scenario for input into the REMSAD-ST air quality model.
4) Sensitivity Module - this allows the user the opportunity to vary important analysis parameters to determine their effect upon the results of analyses. These parameters are: interest rate, equipment life, control efficiency, labor rate, and energy prices.
ACN also contains a module that allows users to run mobile source control strategies for criteria pollutants. This module allows for estimation of emissions reductions and costs based on existing runs of EPA's MOBILE6 and NONROAD models.
Finally, ACN also includes exporting and reporting features that allows for export of emissions and cost data resulting from the users queries into text files, spreadsheets, pre-formatted reporting tables, or maps.
The underlying data for the control measures and costs come from reports such as the EPA Air Pollution Control Cost Manual, and from reports issued by EPA's Office of Research and Development and other EPA references. Data from references prepared outside of EPA are also part incorporated into ACN as appropriate. AirControlNET's primary purpose is to assist EPA in carrying out national and regional control strategy applications in support of implementation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), standards that are designed to protect public health and improve environmental quality by limiting concentrations of criteria pollutants throughout the U.S. We believe that AirControlNET is best suited for application of criteria pollutant and precursor control strategies at a national or regional level. ACN may also serve as a potentially useful tool for States and local agencies as they prepare control strategy analyses for various purposes (e.g. SIP development). We want to note that the coverage of mobile source controls is limited in this tool.
A project is underway by EPA to prepare a new software tool to replace AirControlNET. The purpose of the software development is to better enable EPA to meet current and future needs for modeling emission reductions and the costs associated with emissions reductions while also interfacing with other new tools and databases currently under development. This project consists of three main tasks:
ACN is available for free by accessing the files as listed below. Documentation for the software is also included on this web site. Contact Larry Sorrels at 919-541-5041 or at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. For more information on the software redesign project, please contact David Misenheimer at 919-541-5473 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

After my third day at WD-50, a strange thing happened. I found something I thought I had lost; my reason for cooking.
Years ago, I worked for Seattle's most talented chef, Scott Carsberg. Don't get me wrong, there are many very talented chefs in this city, doing very nice things in their restaurants. But Carsberg has a spark, a rare gift that very few in the world have; an intuition for flavor, and the restraint to present it perfectly He also runs a kitchen as tight as they come, setting the bar higher each day than the last, never letting standards for himself or his staff drop below that. In this kitchen I was born as a chef, and in this kitchen I thrived.
When I tell people I worked for Scott for nearly 3 years, they look at me with hungry eyes. He has a reputation for being a big personality, and they think I must have seen more than they can imagine, taken abuse like a soldier, witnessed bizarre and violent outbursts.
The truth is, it was a pretty quiet place. Sure, he barked a bit, I'll admit that. But for the most part, he and I came in, did the best work we possibly could, put out the most perfect plates we knew how, and ended the night talking about how we could do it better the next day. Nothing was forsaken if it made the food better, no matter how much extra work it made for us. Conversation was left to a minimum while we focused on work, and no music was played lest it distract us. So literally, it was a pretty quiet kitchen.
I went into work with a clear vision each day, to make the most beautiful food possible. I took that to The Fat Duck, being enlivened even more. But somehow, somewhere, I lost that without realizing what had happened.
But after my 3rd day in Alex's pastry kitchen, I saw food created for the same reason I once knew. It was after spending the later part of the evening watching the plates go out. Each plate was created to be as perfect as possible, not to go out the window as fast as possible, not to get out of the way so you can work another ticket. The food was not dumbed down so more of them could be made, nor was any plate any rushed, ignored, pampered, or given different treatment than the one before it. Every plate was simply the most perfect dish it could be.
It hit me then and there, that there is nothing I can gain in my own life right now that fills me with satisfaction the way working to my fullest potential does. There simply no reason for me not to be out creating desserts as beautiful and perfect as I know I can, each and every night. I know what I can and want to do, so why am I holding back?
To work at WD-50 would have been a dream, likewise many of the great kitchens in that big city where you don't have to argue to set standards. To have stayed at The Fat Duck would have been heaven. But for every choice we make in life, life makes one for us, and life has told me I live in the pacific northwest.
Thus, I am breaking free of The Rainier Club. Not to say that there is anything lacking in this kitchen, but the kitchen runs on another chefs vision. Bill creates symphonies, grand dishes with a myriad of melodic flavors. I am Scott Carsberg's child, a minimalist through and through. I am ready to express that, or work along side another with a vision to match.
Now comes the hardest part, finding that place again.

Nobody disputes windpower's variability; that's a given. But modern approaches to demand management, grid integration and wind forecasting are making windpower more predictable and grid friendly....
Wind and the Environment: The EPA's Tech Divide
Does the Clean Air Act require the agency to consider the most low-emission coal plant technologies in permitting new plants?
authority must allow an "opportunity for interested persons … to appear and submit written or oral presentations on the air quality impact of such source, alternatives thereto, control technology requirements, and other appropriate considerations." 5
The EPA previously had not drawn this distinction between analysis of alternatives to a source under Section 165(a)(2) and BACT, and has not promulgated policy or guidance giving content to the alternatives analysis. 6 In a March 7, 2006, brief to the EPA Environmental Appeals Board, however, the EPA has for the first time addressed what it envisions such "alternatives" consideration requires. 7 In the Prairie State Generation case, the EPA was asked by the board to address whether the Illinois EPA, in considering a permit for a new coal-fired plant, was required to consider low-sulfur coal and other alternatives to the proposed source. The EPA, consistent with its IGCC letter, maintained that the "proposed facility" referenced in section 165(a)(4) refers to the specific facility proposed by the applicant, which has certain design characteristics, and not some other facility that is fundamentally different. EPA pointed to its historical approach in which it has found that "the BACT review should not be used to frustrate an applicant's ability to construct a particular type of facility in order to meet objectives that may be independent of environmental protection." 8 The EPA argued that requiring Prairie State to fire low-sulfur coal fundamentally would redesign the scope of the project, where the facility was planned and sited to burn fuel from a mine close to the plant.
The EPA went on, however, in its Prairie State brief to interpret section 165(a)(2), for what appears to be the first time, to require the permitting authority "to provide a reasoned response to comments identifying alternatives to the proposed source and raising other appropriate considerations." 9 The EPA noted that the statute requires a public hearing and an opportunity to comment on alternatives and other appropriate considerations, and concluded that the requirement to respond to such comments is "inherent" in the requirement to provide an opportunity to make the comments.
Although this might suggest an opening to require a reasoned consideration of IGCC, the EPA also appeared to have an eye on that issue in its Prairie State brief, limiting the scope of the requirement in two important respects. First, the EPA explained that the permitting authority has discretion to modify the PSD permit based on comments raising alternatives or other appropriate considerations, "but this is a highly discretionary matter," suggesting that the permitting authority's obligation is satisfied by a "reasoned explanation for why it has elected not to exercise its discretion." 10 Second, the EPA noted that the permitting authority was "not obligated to respond to comments addressing matters outside the scope of the [Clean Air] Act, such as the need for a particular facility." 11 This comment would appear also to encompass the EPA's current position that greenhouse gas emissions are outside the scope of the Clean Air Act. 12
A Mixed-State Approach
A number of states also have considered whether IGCC

Faith, friends and fortitude
By Trent Loos
Surely by now you have heard the echoing statements made by the leader of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, at the Farm Journal forum. In the unlikely event that you missed them, let me recap a couple for you.
"It's time for us to have an adult conversation with folks in rural America. It's time for a different thought process here."
(Rural America is) "becoming less and less relevant."
"But too often small communities go it alone. Too often rural interests are fixating on regulations that either didn't exist, weren't going to exist, or that were taken care of."
Honestly, I believe in most cases he said the same thing that we in rural America have been saying for quite some time: that we represent such a small percentage of the population that we need to shout louder. However, I also believe he thinks we should be shouting the words that he wants to hear as opposed to speaking out about the ag policies of the current administration.
The statement about "them" working and taking care of regulations that were attempted to be enacted against farmers is a blatant lie. You would have to have been in hibernation for the past four years to believe that one.
To me the issue here is that we now have "leaders" who really have no clue about the culture that exists in rural America. The God-fearing, independent-natured folks that call rural America home have a sense of patriotism that drives us to do what we think is right for the personal property rights that our forefathers put in place. Incidentally, leaders from the very inception of this country predicted that those very freedoms might one day be in jeopardy by the very actions we are witnessing in government today.
That brings me to a recent celebration of rural America in a most unlikely place, Las Vegas. I got to spend quite a bit of time in Las Vegas as the National Finals Rodeo was taking place. As far away as the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport I had people asking me, "When will the sea of hats starting moving through here?"
Every single cab driver in Vegas will tell you how much they enjoy this week on the strip, and it has nothing do with their ability to take the long route to your destination without the cowboys knowing where to go. Even the TSA folks at the airport have smiles and mentioned, in their words, "I just it love when the cowboys come to town."
You see that 10-day stretch in Las Vegas has become much more than just rodeo enthusiasts going to a great rodeo. It is a large gathering of like-minded folks who love rural America like no other. Cowboy Christmas, the World Finals in Team Roping and the NFR are just a few reasons for folks to gather.
This year a special public display took place at the Dec. 13 rodeo performance in the Thomas and Mack Center. Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, were shown on the big screen and 19,000 people immediately gave them a standing ovation and an emotional thank you.
This was not a Democrat versus Republican statement. In fact, I don't think it was political at all but rather an emotional appreciation for someone at the national level who at least understands the culture of rural America. The timing of the event was perhaps ironic in that it was immediately after the USDA leader said we are "less and less relevant."
If you need one more example of how this celebration of rural America sets itself apart from most, I would point out that each and every performance of the National Finals Rodeo began with the National Anthem and a prayer to God.
That prayer does mean something because this week we also celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ who came to show us the path to heaven, which also is a culture that seems to be jeopardy. Faith, friends and fortitude will drive us in the upcoming year, my fellow rural Americans, and those are three things that we can always count on! Merry Christmas from the Loos family.

Called the "world's first e-quadricycle," a small EV from Ample International was on display at the Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS26) in Los Angeles this week. Named the Eo, the one-seat (or two- or three-seat) vehicle has a maximum speed of 65 kilometers per hour (40 miles per hour) and has a range of 200 km (124 miles), according to a representative at the booth. Ample's Shida Zheng told the Neon Tommy website, that, "It is a four-wheeled motorcycle, completely powered by electricity."
The design is certainly interesting. There are no side mirrors, as the Eo relies instead on backward-facing cameras that pump a live feed into a screen on the left side of the wraparound dashboard. The interior is unlike any other vehicle we've seen, with a driver's seat up front and a flexible space in back that has two seats that can fold down from the sides of the vehicle, sort of like on trains. Since they're directly across from each other, we imagine knees will be touching.

When the Marines--or "jarheads" as they call themselves--are sent to Saudi Arabia to fight the Iraqis, Swofford is there, with a 100-pound pack on his shoulders and a sniper's rifle in his hands. In this powerful memoir, he weaves his war experience with vivid accounts of boot camp, reflections on the mythos of the Marines, and remembrances of battles with lovers and family.
In 1998, Frank Schaeffer was a successful novelist living in "Volvo-driving, higher-education worshipping" Massachusetts with two children graduated from top universities. Then his youngest child, straight out of high school, joined the U.S. Marine Corps. Written in alternating voices by eighteen-year-old John and his father, Frank, Keeping Faith takes readers in riveting fashion through a family's experience of the U.S. Marine Corps.
Nothing could have prepared privileged-boy Jack McLean for the horror of Landing Zone Loon--a three-day battle that took place on a remote hill tucked into the border of North Vietnam and Laos in June 1968, killing twenty-seven men, wound nearly one hundred others, and leave several dozen survivors to defend an ever-shrinking perimeter with little water or ammo. A powerful coming-of-age portrait that defines some of the most tumultuous events in our history, both in Vietnam and back home.
"It's a grunt's-eye view of the Vietnam War that emerges in No Shining Armor--the war as seen by the PFC's, sergeants, and platoon leaders in the rivers and jungles and trenches. It's the story of teenagers leading squads of men into the jungle on night missions, the story of boredom, confusion, and equipment shortages, of friends suddenly blown away, of disappointing homecomings. It's also the story of young men placed under unbearable strain and asked to do the impossible, who somehow stretched to meet the demands placed upon them, and the story of the friendships they forged in combat--friendships deeper than any these men would be able to form later in civilian life." (From the publisher's description)
A former captain in the Marines' First Recon Battalion, who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, reveals how the Corps trains its elite and offers a point-blank account of twenty-first-century battle. Also available as an audiobook.
Camp, a retired Marine Corps colonel, offers a highly detailed account of the Marine Corps' biggest battle in Iraq, the Second Battle for Fallujah, which began with the 2004 murder of four Blackwater contractors. The account draws on personal interviews with those involved, including division commanders and infantrymen, and is illustrated with about 150 on-the-scene color photos, plus several maps. Camp is currently vice president for museum operations with the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation.
Located in the northern Virginia hills just south of our nation's capital, Marine Corps Base Quantico is known throughout the world as the Crossroads of the United States Marine Corps. Images of America: Quantico takes the reader on a visual tour of Quantico's evolution through World War I, interwar service as an expeditionary base, and the development of the amphibious capabilities made famous by the Marines in World War II. The impact of famous Marines, including Generals John A. Lejeune and Smedley D. Butler, is explored, as is the unique relationship between the base and the Town of Quantico, the only United States city surrounded by a military base.
The United States Marine Corps has not only played a deciding role in many of the moments which have determined our history, but has set a standard for honor, self-sacrifice and courage. Marines leave boot camp knowing that the marine next to them is more important than they are, creating a bond with one another other and with the Corps which changes them, which is unique and which survives the most horrific combat. This collection echoes with the voices from our most renowned fighting force and their stories of combat, bravery and loyalty to one another.
Beginning with interviews with the last surviving drill instructors of World War II, this oral history offers the voices of veterans from every major war of the last sixty years, concluding with accounts of what it takes to train marines for Iraq today. It contains revelatory details about the vicious training techniques used to prepare marines for the great battles against Japan in the Pacific; the Ribbon Creek training disaster of the 1950s; and legendary stories by the likes of Iwo Jima veteran "Iron" Mike Mervosh and R. Lee Ermey, the infamous drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket.
During the Korean War, 234 heroic marines from Fox Company, First Division, held off a force of 10,000 Chinese soldiers in subzero weather to secure the Toktong Pass. This is their story.

Ludwig v. Beethoven
Symphony No. 1 in C major, op. 21
Performed by The Fauxhamonic Orchestra
Conducted by Paul Henry Smith
For programming the works and performing them live, Paul Henry Smith uses the following equipment:
Paul Henry Smith, Bargemusic Concert
On Wednesday, May 20, 2009, Paul Henry Smith conducted the first-ever live concert of a Beethoven Symphony using a digital orchestra, performed by Vienna Symphonic Library's Vienna Instruments at Holy Name Church in Boston.
This was the first concert in a series that will present all nine Beethoven symphonies. The Fauxharmonic Orchestra, founded by conductor and composer Paul Henry Smith, sets out to convince audiences that a live performance of a digital orchestra can be as expressive and moving as a traditional acoustic orchestra. In an earlier experiment in 2008, the New York Times called the Fauxharmonic Orchestra "genuinely impressive." In another article on Smith's efforts, the Wall Street Journal identified Vienna Symphonic Library's founder Herb Tucmandl as "one of the people most responsible for recent strides in computerized music."
The live digital orchestral music is realized by incorporating real-time performance control into a preliminary version that Smith prepares during hundreds of hours prior to the performance. Accompanying viola and mezzo-soprano soloists, the Fauxharmonic Orchestra makes the most of its technology using wireless Nintendo Wii video-game controllers to change tempo, loudness, balance, timbre, and brightness – the elements a musician typically controls during a live performance.
Paul Henry Smith notes that "A digital orchestra gives composers a way to get their music heard in live concert settings when acoustic orchestras simply cannot afford to do so. Furthermore, expanding opportunities for composers and soloists is one of the great benefits of using digital orchestra technology. With current financial pressures, orchestras are cutting the performance of new music. By contrast, it costs far less for the Fauxharmonic Orchestra to prepare a new work for full orchestra and to perform it many times and in many places. This technology is best understood as expanding the rainbow of expression, rather than undermining the art of orchestral music."

Paul Crouch
Who is Paul Crouch?
Paul Crouch (born 1934) is a religious broadcaster who, along with his wife Jan, co-founded the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).
Crouch was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, the son of Assemblies of God missionaries. Crouch, whose father died when he was seven years old, was mainly raised by his mother with the help of his grandparents. He soon became interested in amateur radio and announced he would use such technology to send the Gospel around the world. He graduated from the Central Bible Institute and Seminary in Springfield, Missouri in 1955 with a degree in theology.
He has also received three honorary doctorates: a Doctor of Litterarum (D.Litt) on May 29, 1981, from the California Graduate School of Theology, Glendale, California; a Doctor of Divinity on May 29, 1983, from the American Christian Theological Seminary, Anaheim, California; and a Doctor of Laws degree on May 5, 1985, from Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Crouch and the former Janice Bethany (Crouch) met in 1957 and were married in Missouri. They have two sons, Paul Crouch Jr. and Matthew Crouch.
Early broadcasting career
Crouch began his career in broadcasting by helping to build an educational AM station (KCBI-AM) on campus while a student at Central Bible Institute and Seminary. In 1957 he became a radio announcer at KRSD in Rapid City, South Dakota and progressed rapidly to program director. Shortly thereafter he was promoted to manager of sister station KRSD-TV, the NBC affiliate in Rapid City.
In 1961, he was appointed by the general council of the Assemblies of God to organize and operate their newly-formed Department of Television and Film Production in Burbank, California, a position he held for four years. Crouch was responsible for the ongoing production of films focusing largely on foreign missions and foreign missionary works, as well as the Assemblies of God's large inventory of audiovisual materials and children's teaching aids.
From 1965 to 1970 Crouch was general manager of KREL radio in Corona, California. In 1966, he purchased a minority stock interest in KREL. During his time at KREL, he successfully completed the station's application for an increase in power to 5,000 watts.
After leaving KREL in 1970, Crouch was invited to serve as general manager for KHOF-FM and KHOF-TV in San Bernardino, California.
Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) history
Crouch left KHOF in 1973 and with his wife, Jan, founded the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). In 1974, TBN purchased its first TV station, KLXA-TV (now KTBN-TV). Since then, TBN has grown to become the United States' largest Christian television network, and the third largest group owner of broadcast TV stations in the U.S., with CBS, FOX, and NBC holding fourth, fifth and sixth place, according to TV News Check's annual listing of the Top 30 Station Groups. Forbes.com indicated that Paul F. Crouch had compensation of $402,244 in the Fiscal Year ending on 12/31/08.
TBN is viewed globally on 70 satellites and over 18,000 TV and Cable affiliates. TBN is also seen on the internet globally. TBN is carried on over 287 television stations in the U.S. and on thousands of other cable television and satellite systems around the world in over 75 countries, where their programming is translated into over eleven languages.
In the US, TBN's coverage grew through agreements with national cable operators. TBN is viewed on US satellite and cable subs, and affiliated with major cable and satellite companies such as Comcast, Cox, Time Warner, Verizon FIOS, DirecTV, AT&T, Dish Network and Charter.
Awards and citations
Crouch and the Trinity Broadcasting Network have been the recipients of numerous awards and citations of appreciation by both local and national leaders including the Golden Angel award from the Excellence in Media organization and the Parents Television Council Entertainment Seal of Approval, given to both the TBN and Smile of a Child networks for producing and promoting programming that reflects their values. Crouch was also appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the Private Sector Initiative Project.
In May, 2009, the United Nations officially recommended the Smile of a Child Foundation to receive special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council for the Democracy Coalition Project. The 19-member Committee recommends general, special or roster status with the Council in accordance with such criteria as the applicant's mandate, governance and financial regime. Special consultative status was recommended for: Smile of a Child, a United States-based organization, seeking to help world leaders alleviate poverty and improve the lives of children.
Criticisms and controversies
In September 2004 the Los Angeles Times reported that in 1998 Crouch paid Enoch Lonnie Ford, a former employee, a $425,000 formal settlement to end a wrongful termination lawsuit. At that time it was reported that Crouch had had a homosexual encounter with Ford. TBN officials acknowledge the settlement, but contested the credibility of Ford who is a convicted felon, with crimes ranging from child sexual molestation to using illegal drugs such as crack cocaine.
Ford became involved with TBN through a drug-rehabilitation program conducted on TBN's property. Upon his successful completion of the program, TBN offered him employment. Ford was arrested while employed by TBN for drug-related violations, and was found guilty of violating his probation and was returned to prison for a year.
Upon his release from incarceration in 1997, Ford again sought employment with TBN and, when TBN declined, he threatened to sue TBN by alleging wrongful termination and sexual harassment.
In late 2003, Ford threatened to release an autobiographical manuscript to the media should TBN and Dr. Crouch not agree to buy the manuscript for $10 million. TBN refused to pay Ford, calling his actions extortion. In October 2004, Judge Robert J. O'Neill awarded Paul Crouch $136,000 in legal fees to be paid by Ford for his violation of the terms of the settlement agreement, specifically the prohibition of discussing the settlement's details.
On March 15, 2005 Ford appeared at the taping of the ION Television show Lie Detector. The show's producers decided not to air the show, and the outcome of the lie detector test was never released.
Crouch family members control the boards of all TBN entities, which makes TBN "ineligible to join" the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, an evangelical self-regulating group. A May 2012 New York Times article noted the lavish personal spending of Paul and Janice Crouch, including "his-and-her mansions one street apart in a gated community" in Newport Beach, California.
Paul Crouch received $400,000 in executive salary as president and his wife $365,000 as first vice president of TBN. Brittany Koper, a granddaughter of the Crouches who had authority over finances, claimed that TBN appeared to have violated the IRS ban on "excess compensation" by nonprofit organizations.

As it has every year, the Garden City Fire Department, community members and village officials gathered together for a solemn 9/11 remembrance service held at the Village Memorial on the Village Green last Saturday.
Garden City Fire Chief William Graham said the simple memorial ceremony pays tribute to the 23 village residents whose names are now etched on the black granite memorial monument. "I think today it is important that we commemorate the day, that we turn together as a community for those who are lost, for the families who are still with us. That's something that needs to continue," Graham said.
After the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Mayor Rothschild, and a prayer said by Ex-Chief John Casey, Chief Graham read a few remarks from a Garden City resident who lost her husband in the 9/11 terror attacks. The resident spoke at an earlier service and praised the community for their support. "We thank the people of the town of Garden City and its merchants who made certain the families and their children were not forgotten. Delivering baskets of food, notes of sympathy and encouragement and later, even funds for the children's education," Graham read.
Graham concluded with his own words, "Here we stand today as a community to show that our commitment to these families has not changed and that we still share their losses."
First Assistant Chief Charles Cavarra led a candle-lighting ceremony to honor those who perished in the attacks, including the police, firemen and first responders. Garden City firefighters surrounded the memorial and, two by two, members placed a single rose and American flag in front of the memorial. Small candles were lit and a bell sounded after each of the 23 victims' names were read.
Mayor Rothschild, who stood alongside members of the Village Board of Trustees, expressed his sentiment on the day's remembrance ceremony. "I think a lot of people really appreciate the central place where we can all come, that's the great thing about this memorial; it's a place we can all come and sit quietly and think about the loved ones that we had…almost everyone in this village knew someone that was lost that day, and today is just a day you try to prove to the family and their friends that we haven't forgotten and never will. I want to thank the Fire Department Chief and all the guys did a great job, which they do every year," the mayor said.
The names of the 23 village residents who are etched on the memorial monument are: Thomas Brennan, Jonathan Neff Cappello, Paul Cascio, Michelle Coyle-Eulau, Laurence Curia, Michael DiAgostino, William Dimmling, Christopher Dunne, Paul Eckna, Michael Hardy Edwards, Ex-Captain Robert Ferris, GCFD, Peter Genco, Ryan Kohart, David Leistman, Robert McLaughlin, Jr., James Murphy IV, James Ostrowski, Durrell Pearsall, FDNY, James Smith, Eric Thomas Steen, John Swaine, Kevin Szocik and Stephen Tompsett.

MPAA Chairman Dan Glickman Launches Report that Highlights Scale and Growth of Sector
- 19Mar 2010
New Delhi/Singapore - The country's burgeoning film and television industry created nearly 1.8 million jobs and contributes an immense US$ 6.2 billion (Rs 28,305 crores) to the Indian economy, a new report prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers has found.
The report, titled Economic Contribution of the Indian Film and Television Industry, also finds that the sector has a total gross output of US$20.4 billion (Rs. 92,645 crores) and contributes more to the GDP of India than the advertising industry. "This report demonstrates the importance of the film and television sector to the overall growth and vitality of the Indian economy," said Motion Picture Association of America Chairman Dan Glickman, who was in New Delhi today to launch the report at the Asia Society Conference. "Indians should be proud of the staggering growth that the film and television industry has achieved."
"The film and television industry in India is one of the world's largest markets in terms of number of consumers and offers significant growth potential," remarked Time Warner Senior Vice President Hugh Stephens. "Over the past few years the industry has experienced rapid double-digit growth and it is expected that this trend will continue in future, resulting in increasing contribution to the Indian economy."
The combined revenues of the Indian film and television industry were over US$7.7 billion (Rs 35,000 crores) in the calendar year 2008. This is expected to grow at a rate of 11% over the next 5 years, reaching a size of over US$13 billion (Rs 60,000 crores).
Commissioned by the Motion Picture Distributors Association (India), representing the Motion Picture Association in India, the study measures the direct, indirect and induced economic impacts created by the film and television industry, and combines them to determine the industry's total economic contribution.
Mr. Glickman also commented that the report illustrates the need to protect the Indian film and television industry: "While still growing, the Indian film and television industry already contributes significantly to India's economy, and the menace of copyright theft jeopardizes a movie's ability to make money – if at all. This affects the level of investment available for new films and the ability to create new jobs for workers throughout the country. The launch yesterday of the coalition to protect film and television content is as such a clear reflection of the Indian creative community's
recognition of the urgent need to act quickly to address this threat."
A study undertaken by the US India Business Council and Ernst & Young showed that piracy cost the Indian film industry US$959 million and some 571,000 jobs in 2008.
On the need for a strong legislative response to tackle copyright infringement, Motion Picture Dist. Association (India) Managing Director Rajiv Dalal said: "While the film industry has come together to fight intellectual property theft, the industry also needs the Indian government to pass legislation such as anti-camcord restrictions that would allow for effective copyright enforcement."
Siddharth Roy Kapur, CEO of UTV, asserted, "While this report is significant as it highlights the economic benefits of our industry, let us not forget our community's social and cultural contribution to the development of society in India."Download File (PDF)

Largest ever spiral galaxy spotted - may give birth to dwarf baby
The universe's largest known spiral galaxy and its nearest neighbouring galaxy have been interacting for some time, say astrophysicists. And all of this canoodling may result in the birth of a new tidal dwarf galaxy system 212 million light years from Earth. Computer simulation of NGC6872 and IC4970 Astroboffins using NASA's …
That beautiful blue!
"Measured tip-to-tip across its spiral arms, the galaxy spans more than 522,000 light years, making the star system five times the size of the Milky Way."
That's a lot of empires, however if the "tip" is the extreme extension of the "arm" then the spiral itself is about as large as the Milky Way.
How about 6 million light years? Yes, we can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC_1101
Boffins. Is there anything they can't do?
They haven't yet..
.. found a cure for my Monday hangover, which I'm queuing up right now.. This is pretty cool though.
Re: They haven't yet..
Bacon fried in butter, one boiled egg and a pile of roasted almonds will cure that hangover right off. Guaranteed.
Re: They haven't yet..
> Bacon fried in butter
We already went over this...
Re: They haven't yet..
Yep - eat enough of those and a hangover will be the least of your worries
Re: They haven't yet..
Another beer
Re: They haven't yet..
Arn't almonds radioactive ?
I'm confused...
"Understanding the structure and dynamics of nearby interacting systems like this one brings us a step closer to placing these events into their proper cosmological context, paving the way to decoding what we find in younger, more distant systems," said Goddard astrophysicist Eli Dwek. ®
"younger, more distant systems"
Isn't the very fact that one system is more distant from us than another system a pretty good indicator that it's older than the nearer system? Being it took more time for its light to reach us?
Or am I missing a lot of things?
It's all about the frame of reference. The further away things are, the younger they appear. The faster they move away from you the slower they appear to age.
Re: I'm confused...
Older is younger, but larger systems likely also have longer development times.
The real mystery of dark matter in galactic clusters is its apparent prolate nature, as evidenced in this youtube video of the Andromeda galactic system:
So why does dark matter prolate while luminous matter is oblate?
Could galaxies have formed along cosmic strings composed of spin-axis-aligned dark-matter Planck masses?
Re: I'm confused...
The deal is that since the galaxy is 212e6 ly away, what we're seeing is something that happened 212e6 years ago---at which time the galaxy was reasonably young. If we could wormhole over there now (whatever that means under general relativity) we'd be seeing an older galaxy, but until then we're stuck with what comes down from the sky.
In general, the further away a galaxy is, the younger it was at the time the light we're seeing now left it. That's why the boffins keep buying stronger telescopes to investigate the beginning of the universe. We see the far away stuff in a state closer to the Big Bang.
Re: I'm confused...
No, you don't miss much, only one link in the chain of deductions. The more distant an object is from us the longer the light we see now has taken to arrive here, and therefore we are now seeing the object as it was many, many years ago, i.e., when it was young. Much younger than it is now.
"The further away things are, the younger they appear. "
What, like female pedestrians when viewed by a male driver?
"The faster they move away from you the slower they appear to age."
Dunno about that. Are you saying that one's exes age more gracefully than one's current partner? That sort of science could cause more than a few disputes.
Re: @Fibbles
Gravity is only part of the story
"the gravitational interaction of the systems is spawning stars..."
Plasma filaments have been observed between galaxies, e.g. as reported in the Reg last year:
It's maybe not just the gravitational interaction that is spawning stars. Electric and magnetic phenomena may well play a part both in concentrating gas and dust and in the outwards transport of angular momentum which is necessary as stars form.
Somewhere in that massive galaxy is something resembling life, not that we are likely to ever know.

I'm an older player (just turned 21 for the third time) and have been GM of a lvling guild for almost 2 yrs. Question is- I've tried to start raiding with this guild about 3 times. Every time we get enuff ppl for a good core team ppl move on. Get mad at someone, not enuff raiding, normal guild drama. What's the secret to getting a raid team together?
Hello Lore, why are you a banana?
He dont answers qestions from here.....
In PST - Episode 23 at 19:40'ish, you say you're going to read a question from "Obsequeus" (?) but in the actual letter you're using the name "Ghladum" yet again. You know, the name with the H.
I'm convinced that someone, somehow, has already informed you about this or perhaps you noticed it yourself, but I can't really be bothered to look through YouTube comments so instead I'm just going to be a bothersome prick and post it as a question at TankSpot, because I have an upcoming question. So... Yeah.
I'm not sure if this is "show material" or not, I just thought I'd point it out even though you're probably already aware of this. Myeah, I am 'that guy'.
My question to you is; What kind of topping do you prefer on your pancakes? Raspberry jam, maple syrup, sugar and stuff like that. I.e. if you like pancakes. Which you should.
(You may refer to me as "Pancakes". Because my WoW characters have names that revolve around, well... Pancakes 'nd stuff).
What's the stupidest question you've ever been asked?
PvE Guild Advice
Hi, I was seeking your advice on what I should do about my current situation involving my guild. I'm in a good PvE guild for my realm 11/12 but am myself not particularly high ranking. I normally have only been able to turn up to raid nights on the weekend where they do much of their progression after finishing farming, however I'm often on standby(with only 7/12) , with higher ranking raiders being favoured above me despite it often being the case that I am a stronger raider(in terms of dps and tactics). I can understand why my guild does this to gear up their more committed raiders, in a few months I will be able to attend every night buy I was wondering if I should leave and join a guild where i actually raid more often or stick with my current guild occasionally raiding and wait till I can fully commit. Also I'd like to mention I do enjoy the raid atmosphere in my guild and think the leader is very capable and I'm sure the guild has a strong future.
oh btw can you not mention my name if you use my question thanks.
Hi i am in a 25 man casual raiding guild the raids 2 nights a week. We also have guild 10 man groups and in my group the raid leader's dps is holding us back. What is the best way to deal with this and show the officers that she cant pull her weight.
Hey Lore I was wondering how a mage thats getting t11 gear keep up there hit cap with out sacrificing intellect and other stats a mage relies on.
hey lore evertime i log on to wow que up a random i get bad players why is that i might get good grp here and there but just make me mad i log off i think quit cuz game not use be when i started playing wow should i quit or just wait till firelands come out ?

TORONTO (AP) -- Playing in the NHL wasn't Chris Chelios' dream.
It was Bobby Parker's.
Parker was a defenseman from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, with enough of a future in hockey that a few colleges offered him scholarships.
He chose United States International University in San Diego, Calif., where Chelios was enrolled and trying to make the team as a forward in the fall of 1979.
Chelios didn't make it, and while Parker did, he decided the dilapidated facilities and life in California weren't for him and went home to resume his career with the Moose Jaw Canucks of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.
Before he left, Parker made a simple gesture that he attributes to fate.
"We were just on the beach one day and I recognized him. So I just walked over," Parker said. "We just started chatting and he said his hockey was done. He was done, there was just a beer and pizza league there, like a senior league."
When Chelios told Parker he just wanted to play hockey somewhere, Parker gave him the phone number of Moose Jaw coach Larry Billows.
After some convincing, in part from Parker, Billows brought Chelios in as a defenseman even though he had never played the position before.
"They started writing in the newspaper, 'We got this defenseman coming from San Diego,'" Parker recalled. "And I'm thinking, 'Man he hasn't even ever played defense.' I had no idea what was going to happen."
What followed was the start of a journey that included 1,651 NHL games, three Stanley Cups and enshrinement Monday into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
But not long after giving Chelios the tip of a lifetime, vision problems cut Parker's career short just as his friend was getting started.
"He lived my dream," Parker said. "It was hard. I'll tell you, it took me a long time to kind of deal with that because after his second year in Moose Jaw basically my hockey was done. I told him, 'Do it for both of us.'"
Parker was born with bad vision in one eye, but still considered himself a decent hockey player and believed he had a chance to make the big time. He tried out and played one game for the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL, but declining vision in the other eye made it too much of a risk to continue.
While Chelios was off winning three Norris Trophies as the league's best defenseman, Parker's vision continued to worsen.
"I can function, but I don't drive or anything like that," Parker said Saturday. "I don't know how to explain, it was like somebody was dimming the lights and things were just a little bit blurry."
Parker saw Chelios' success all too clearly. He lived and breathed hockey and was forced to adjust to life without it.
Chelios was ready for that when he was on the beach. His parents wanted him to get an education, so his mentality was to get a business degree from USIU and "go from there."
Once he caught a break thanks to Parker and Billows and switched to defense, Chelios shined and developed into a point-per-game player.
"I watch a lot of hockey and I played a lot, and what really amazed me was as soon as he started playing it was like his natural position," Parker said. "What also happened (was) he grew a couple inches. He put on, I think, 15 pounds, over the course of a year. Kind of the rest is history."
The same year Chelios was drafted in the second round by the Montreal Canadiens and went to the University of Wisconsin, Parker played his one and only game in the WHL, taking one minor penalty.
In 1982, Chelios endured what he called the worst loss of his career, an 8-0 defeat to the Soviet Union in the world junior championship that made him almost "embarrassed to be American."
In 1986, Chelios enjoyed his first major team triumph as part of the 23rd Stanley Cup team in Canadiens' history. Being amid a million Habs fans on Saint Catherine Street remains one of the Chicago native's fondest memories.
"Having each fan pass me a drink every minute of the parade, one hour and 15 minutes turned into a four-hour parade," Chelios said. "There's nothing like winning a championship."
Chelios was unexpectedly traded to his hometown Blackhawks in 1990 and played eight-plus seasons there before being dealt to Detroit. He won two more Cups with the Red Wings in 2002 and 2008.
