* The big story in academia yesterday was the eleventh-hour preemptive firing of Steven Salaita from UIUC (which according to reports may have cost him his tenure at Virginia Tech as well). Especially disturbing in all this is the participation of former AAUP president Cary Nelson, on the side of the firing.

* Delayed gratification watch: This week I finally cracked and read Chris Ware's Building Stories after nearly two years of anticipation. So great. I can't wait to teach it. I may write more about this later, but for now I can tell you that my arbitrary path through the book told a beautiful story that began with the couple's fateful move to Englewood and drifted backwards in time, Ulysses-like, to the day the couple met, before culminating in a quietly nostalgic trip to the eponymous building as it stood about to be torn down.

* What happens to turkeys that are pardoned?
"The birds are then, in proverbial fashion, said to live happily ever after. In reality, however, they are usually killed within a year and stand-in turkeys are supplied. This goes on year after year. The chosen birds are killed because they have been engineered and packed with hormones to the point that they are unfit for any other purpose than their own slaughter and consumption. They are fast-forward turkeys. Presidential turkey caretakers have explained that most succumb rather quickly to joint disease—their frail joints simply cannot bear the weight of their artificially enhanced bodies. The sturdiest survivors may live a little more than a year. But the birds are always finally put out of their growing misery. Then they are buried nearby in a presidential turkey cemetery—the ritualistic significance of which remains to be explored. (May the archaeologists of the future excavate it!)"
The reason that these turkeys are so ill suited for their lives of freedom is that they are supplied by the National Turkey Federation. They are products of industrial farms, bred to grow fat quick rather than live long. Much could be said about the fact that corporate lobby's interests trumps even the symbolism of the ceremony, making even the pardon itself a lie within a lie.
* To pardon, after all, is to forgive. And, if we're talking about a turkey, it becomes difficult to discern what criminal or immoral behavior on the bird's part may be said to establish the necessary preconditions for its forgiveness.
* What we have here is a situation where a company offered a wage in the marketplace and couldn't get any workers to accept it. Consequently, it went out of business.

I am very reluctant to speak of "climate change adaptation" in this connection, because I feel that that phrase is a seized term, like "sustainable development," and both are coded ways of saying "business as usual" or "capitalism must endure no matter the damages." Because of that I think we should still be insisting on "climate change mitigation" as the appropriate task for our time. Ultimately, however, the entire biosphere will be adapting to the new physical conditions we are creating by our impacts, and we are going to have to get involved with that adaptation to make the best of it, meaning keeping the number of extinctions to a minimum, and trying to steer the biosphere toward best outcomes for all the species on the planet. This is necessary, because all the species together form one single supra-organism, and the health of all together determines the health of any individual species, including ourselves. Because of that reality, inhabiting the Earth successfully in the centuries to come will necessarily be a utopian project. It's become a case of utopia or catastrophe.

Living in an Orwellian corporate world where "mancams" serve as the eyes of a shadowy figure known only as Management, Leth (Waltz) works on a solution to the strange theorem while living as a virtual cloistered monk in his home–the shattered interior of a fire-damaged chapel. His isolation and work are interrupted now and then by surprise visits from Bainsley, a flamboyantly lusty love interest who tempts him with "tantric biotelemetric interfacing" (virtual sex) and Bob. Latter is the rebellious whiz-kid teenage son of Management who, with a combination of insult-comedy and an evolving true friendship, spurs on Qohen's efforts at solving the theorem…Bob creates a virtual reality "inner-space" suit that will carry Qohen on an inward voyage, a close encounter with the hidden dimensions and truth of his own soul, wherein lie the answers both he and Management are seeking. The suit and supporting computer technology will perform an inventory of Qohen's soul, either proving or disproving the Zero Theorem.

CHARLOTTE HARBOR, Fla.- The Charlotte County Sheriff's Aviation Unit helicopter found two missing boaters at 12:36 a.m. Monday; they were reported missing Sunday night at 9:52 p.m.
CCSO received a call from the U.S. Coast Guard concerning a distress call they received saying four women in a 23 foot bay boat reported two men with them were ejected from the boat when they hit a sandbar. The six of them left at 11:00 a.m. Sunday from a dock behind 171 Dartmouth Drive in Port Charlotte. They navigated toward Gasparilla Island and stopped on a sandbar for snacks and alcohol. At sunset they boarded the boat to head back home and reportedly struck a sandbar. The women at first reported they both fell overboard then later said the two men were fooling around and jumped into the water. The women took control of the boat and pretended to leave them. They made several circles in the dark around Turtle Bay and then were unable to find them. After 30 to 40 minutes of trying to locate them, they contacted emergency services.
Participating in the search of Charlotte Harbor were the CCSO Marine Unit and Aviation helicopter, Charlotte County Fire/EMS, Cape Coral Fire, Boca Grande Fire, Lee County Fire, Lee County Sheriff's Office, and Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC). At 10:48 p.m. a fire/EMS boat located the boat with the four women near Boca Grande; all four reportedly appeared to be intoxicated and. Their boat was escorted by CCSO Marine and FWC to Boca Grande Marina.
The CCSO helicopter piloted by Mark Brownie usedits FLIR heat seeking equipment began searching the west wall of Charlotte Harbor. At 12:36 a.m. Monday, CCSO Deputy First Class Jaime Jones located the two missing men with the FLIR equipment; the men were in waist deep water, frantically waving. They were located in the water about 1½ miles north of Cape Haze Point, and about a quarter mile off shore. The helicopter shined its night lights on the two men and directed fire rescue boats to their location. The men were picked up and then taken to a nearby marina. One of the men is from Port Charlotte, the other from Harbour Heights. FWC took over the entire investigation as the incident occurred in its jurisdiction.

Beef cattle production expected to increase over next 5 years
By Jennifer Carrico
As the cow inventory has continually decreased for the past several years, the feeder cattle supply has been depleted as well. Oklahoma State University Livestock Marketing Specialist Derrell Peel expects the trend to reverse and numbers to increase soon.
He told attendees to the Feeding Quality Forum, in Omaha, Neb., recently there are several factors affecting the feeder cattle supplies: a smaller calf crop because of a smaller cow herd inventory, low heifer retention because of prices and weather conditions, and a smaller number of feeder cattle being imported to the United States have affected the feeder cattle inventory.
"When it comes to heifer retention, we may have to forego current consumption in order to provide for future consumption," he said.
Since the peak of the total cattle inventory in January 1995, there has been a steady decrease. The January 2013 inventory was the lowest since 1952, and Peel expects the inventory to be lower yet in January 2014.
Beef cow inventory numbers are down as well, with the January 2013 total being 29.3 million head, down 2.9 percent from the previous year.
Peel said the beef cattle cycles that have been seen over the past 30 years have been the driving factor for prices.
"Factors such as drought and feed costs have had a tremendous effect on the cattle industry. Beef producers have been ready to expand again, but haven't been able to," he said.
Drought has been the limiting factor on the cattle industry for the past two years. At the end of 2012, more than 50 percent of the pastures were in poor condition all across the country. Moisture has improved over part of the country, but others are suffering again this year.
The Livestock and Marketing Information Center says 1.9 percent more heifers will be kept as beef replacements in 2013 and fewer cows will be culled this year. If this is true, this could be the start of a rebuilding period for the U.S. cowherd.
A growth is expected in the next couple years and then a level off the number of heifers held for replacements.
"On average U.S. cattle producers keep 53 percent of the heifer in their herd as replacements. From 2009-2011, that number was above averages, but in 2012 there was a tremendous decrease in the number of heifers entering the herd," Peel said.
He said the good news is that the current U.S. cowherd is as young and productive as ever, which could key a rapid expansion.
"By 2017, I would expect we could have numbers back close to about the same level as we had in 2011," he said. "With the 2013 calf crop being the smallest since 1942, we should expect those numbers to start increasing by 2015."
Feeder cattle imports from Mexico and Canada have been decreasing, too. On average, 4 percent of the U.S. feeder cattle inventory is comprised of cattle from Mexico and Canada. In 2013, imports from Mexico have been down 450,000 head so far from the previous year.

Oh, in.
But for people who say that him running for Senate means he won't think about running for president in 2016, I have been told that is not right.
Oh, in.
But for people who say that him running for Senate means he won't think about running for president in 2016, I have been told that is not right.
Warner is VERY popular in Virginia. Republicans won't waste the money/energy.
Well, hes got a better chance than most people thought he would when he got elected in 2008. There's a self-funding Republican running against him which is always worth keeping an eye on but for the moment I think Franken is relatively safe.
I hear a whisper every once in a while that she might not but her camp knocks those rumors down vehemently.
Assuming she runs, I am not sure how seriously Republicans challenge her. Scott Brown is an intriguing name but would obviously have to deal with the carepetbbager issue.
Cochran always mentioned. Collins maybe. I don't see Warner or Landrieu retiring,
They will find someone but man oh man have they struggled to find a good candidate. Shelley Moore Capito is a very clear favorite.
Yes! But I think Sestak announced that he was running for Senate in 2016 because there was a lot of speculation that he might run for governor in 2014.
I doubt it. I feel like Ron Kind loves to have his name mentioned as a statewide candidate but doesn't really want to run for it. He wants a statewude office on a silver platter, which of course doesn't happen.
That said, RonJon is going to be a top target of Democrats if he does decide to run again.
Top tier I think is Biden, Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren if she runs.
2nd tier: O'Malley, Gillibrand, Deval Klobuchar
In order of most likely to least likely to win nomination
1. Rubio
2. Rand
3. Walker
4. Christie
5. Kasich
6. Cruz
And there are plenty more names....
He has a very tough political task. He needs to make sure that if a bill does pass that conservatives believe he fought like hell to make it the best bill it could be when it comes to broder security.
To do that, Rubio has to do everything he can to make clear that he is not simply a "yes" vote and that he can and will walk away if the legislation doesn't suit him.
Will do.
Almost through the 1st season of "The Americans". 2 thumbs way up.
It's somewhere between B and C....and I leaning toward C.
I think 3 or 4. I am growing more and more convinced that Ryan sees the House (and the Speakership) as the ultimate goal, not the presidency.
It's that the GOP conference can't be led. I wrote about that phenomenon here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2013/06/20/the-failure-of-the-farm-bill-and-why-house-republicans-cant-be-led/?tid=pm_politics_pop
That's the problem. And, not really.
I am not entirely sure. Republicanns tried to lay it at the feet of Democrats for not delivering enough votes...but the majority party is in charge of making sure they have -- wait for it -- a majority on legislation.
Not so sure about that. I just think he is someone who has the potential to expand the GOP in a way that very few people operating within the party at the moment do.
And, I think those who pigeon-hole him might be surprised by his ability to escape those attempts to narrow-cast him.
I wrote about Rand this week: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2013/06/18/rand-paul-is-the-most-interesting-man-in-the-political-world/
There's always a chance -- especially in a special election where no pollster really knows what the turnout will be.
But, I think it's a small chance that Gomez wins. Massachusetts is just a very Democratic state.
I think so. I think the torch has been passed to Rand.
Warm but not hot.
I spent the last few days beating myself over this.
Physically or emotionally? Either way, Parker.
It's a fair point. Any time a player reminds me of myself playing basketball it's a VERY bad sign for said player.
Jeb 50-50
Ryan 30-70 (against)
Not even a little.
I don't think he is all that focused on his re-election to the Senate at the moment....
I could see Christie anywhere from 2 to 4. But, I do think he is going to deal with the "he's not conservative" narrative all the way through the primary process. And that won't be an easy critique to beat back.
Well, he is going to struggle to win -- based on what we have seen thus far. Of course it goes without saying (or so I hope) that what is tru in 2013 isn't always true in 2016. But, Wisconsin is a swing state and RonJon is going to be a target almost no matter what.
I wish!
That's the problem -- there aren't a lot of good options for Democrats. Feingold just got appointed as a special envoy to Africa, which preusmably means he isn't running.
And the likes of Tom Barrett seem to have passed their expiration date. Walker is a talented pol; you aren't beating him with a B or C level candidate.
I am not sure anyone could do his job right now. Read this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2013/06/20/the-failure-of-the-farm-bill-and-why-house-republicans-cant-be-led/?tid=pm_politics_pop
An interesting note but, no.
Because if it passes, it will be due in no small part to his work.
Brutal loss. Amazing series.
Not sure. I continue to wonder whether (or why) Boehner wants to stay on as Speaker given the fact that it appears as thought the GOP conference cannot be led.
But, his aides point to the fact that he has said publicly that he plans to stay on so there's that....
He could be the liberals' liberal candidate....if Elizabeth Warren doesn't run and Martin O'Malley doesn't take off.
I am surprised. But, I would still make Hickenlooper a favorite if for no other reason that Tancredo has proven himself someone with limited appeal beyond the conservative base.
I think he wants to be Senate Majority Leader. I don't think he can beat Cornyn if/when McConnell leaves or loses but at the moment the Senate leadership track seems to be the one that Thune is most interested in. Remember that he passed on the 2012 race even with a weak field....
It doesn't help. It reaffirms the fact that this is a party -- in the House at least -- that can't be led. And that's a very tough reality to face for Boehner and the rest of his leadership team.
I am not buying him. I am simply warning those who dismiss him. I think there is a bit more than meets the eye with Rand.
1) Yes!"In Play", the show Jackie Kucinich and I will be hosting, debuts on July 8. TUNE IN to www.posttv.com
2) We are cooking up a few ways for Aaron to be involved. He is such a diva though -- lots of demands about the kind of water he wants, the temperature in the green room etc.
The D primary in 2018 is going to be EPIC. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom vs state AG Kamala Harris.
A great race. Already getting excited. And, yes, I am a giant political junkie.
I have no idea what this means. Like, I know it's English but I don't know what the words mean together.
Yup. All good points.
Name someone.
Only person I can think of is Paul Ryan. And I am not sure even Ryan could get all wings of the party to sing from the same songbook.
I stopped making predictions about what Rick Perry will or won't do sometime in the fall of 2011.
Whoeever is the Republican nominee for governor in 2014 is a heavy favorite to win given the state's demographics.
Fair enough. We shall see -- because he's definitely running for president!
I mean, he did run a bunch of times...
Tremendous George Zimmer reference.
I have a feeling Aaron is going to "George Zimmer" me from The Fix some time soon.
Correct assessment.
For me, every day is seersucker day.
People in the state just really like him -- dating all the way back to when he was governor. He is, without question, the most popular/powerful politician in the state.
Not sure it's sure thing. There are plenty of Democrats who don't want Crist -- which is evidenced by the attempt to convince Sen. Bill Nelson to run.
And Alex Sink, the former state CFO who ran against Rick Scott in 2010, might run again.
Maybe. But I think she would like to be governor whether or not she leaves the state for a few years to come to DC.
It has/had nothing to do with the job Franken did but rather to the fact that he won by an incredibly narrow margin in 2008. Usually people who win narrowly face serious challenges in their first re-election race. That's all.
O'Malley, I think. And depending on how O'Malley positions himself, maybe someone who is a favorite of the left....Feingold and Dean would fit that bill.
Folks, I am not saying Rand Paul is going to win the GOP nomination OR the presidency. What I AM saying is that dismissing him as just a clone of his father badly misses the boat.
1.VERY talented speaker (the GOP response notwithstanding)
2. Has put a very talented political team around him
3. Embodies where the party needs to go to expand its reach in the Hispanic community.
Maybe. But Newsom and Kamala Harris are major national stars....
I didn't see that. Amazing.
Walker has a compelling case in Iowa and South Carolina...
Oh, stolen. Don't you watch "The Americans"? The Russians are crafty.

Expect to hear plenty of Sinatra tunes at the 2nd Annual Italian-American Idol Song Competition, a highlight of today's 31st Festa Italiana. Along with the amateur singers, Aaron Caruso (from Broadway's Be My Love) will perform. There's plenty of time between songs to try the hand-tossed pizzas, play some bocce ball and taste some wine. And don't forget the pasta-eating contest and the grape stomp. (Both of which can get pretty messy.) 4 to 10 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. University of St. Thomas, 3800 Montrose. For information, call 713-524-4222 or visit www.houstonitalianfestival.com. Free to $6.

Happy to say that as of today, I have completed my three week practicum and review in the Waldorf teacher training. What an accomplishment as the process is not necessarily an easy one. My chalkboard drawing is of a scene from a story told to the children about a boy who loved studying animals in nature. This was in preparation for the fourth grade class to perform their first research projects. Highlight from my lesson? When spring arrived for the sleeping bear cubs and I led the class into the forest as the hungry bears that we were.

I've always known myself to be a-little-bit-of-this-and-a-little-bit-of-that-type-creator. It was first evident with my refusal to follow a recipe, putting my own stamp on a dish with whatever I happened to have on hand or be my fancy. Then, I discovered the endless world of needle felting. Ah, a bundle of wool that I could sculpt and quickly transform into something practical! This year of school has brought a new passion to my fingers and artistic sensibilities: chalkboard drawing. Images emerge with the simplest strokes of chalk. Gesture and mood can be achieved with so little. Sculpting my way in and out of an image until it's communicating the intended message is the kind of artistic process that truly inspires me. Yes, a little bit here and a little bit there. That is my style.

The wishes of the soul are springing
The deeds of the will are growing
The fruits of life are ripening.
I feel my destiny,
My destiny finds me.
I feel my star,
My star finds me.
I feel my goals,
My goals find me.
My soul and the World are one.
Life grows more radiant about me.
Life grows more arduous for me,
Life grows more abundant within me.
-Rudolf Steiner
Cheers to a peaceful journey towards your destiny in this New Year of 2014!

"Happy Birthday!" would have exploded from my lips, had I called that familiar number today. Instead, the number has already been disconnected and there isn't the deep voice at the other end to answer.
Today, my dad would have celebrated his 69th birthday. But, two weeks ago, on October 22nd, he died. He died. In the hospital. Alone.
"I'm feeling really good," he said before going in for what we thought was the final leg of surgery for colon cancer. He had recovered well and was ready for the iliostomy bag to be removed. In the six months between surgeries, he had developed a hernia, so the doctors thought that they may as well address both issues at the same time. I got news after his surgery on the 14th that all had gone well.
He did not want visitors in the hospital. Too much chaos for my anxious father, with nurses and doctors coming and going. We left it as I'd check on him as soon as he got home.
I was awoken by cell phone vibrations and rings throughout the house close to 4am. My mom and the hospital were calling. I was awoken from a deep sleep to be given this message: Your father is dying and has about fifteen minutes left.
What does one do with this informaton? My first instinct was to get into my car and head south as fast as I could in hopes he would hang on until I could cross those mountains and be by his side. At the very least to hold his hand and not let him leave this world alone. Instead, I sat in the dark, feeling completely helpless. Time passed with the images in my head of him unconsciuos and unable to breathe, alone in the sterile environment of the hospital. I sent my love to him so intensely for those last minutes as he was exiting our world.
It may sound silly to say this, but he did not want to die. He fought cancer with such courage and determination. Having lived a life dominated by anxiety which he relieved through alcoholism, he spent the last two years completely sober and cognizant. He stopped his lifetime habits of both smoking and drinking cold turkey, followed doctors orders, and stayed connected to family and friends.
My father's 6 foot frame weighed about 135 pounds. After the wear and tear on his body over the years, and the multiple rounds of chemo and radiation he underwent, it's a miracle he got the two years that he did. He was simply not strong enough to make it through this last surgery. His body was sick, tired, and old, even if his will had finally been enlivened to choose life.
My dad was not the most consistent person in my life, but he loved me entirely and showed it as best he could. In more recent years, he expressed it every time we visited or spoke. There was much goodness in him, although not so easy to see and reach, but I experienced it as often as I could.
He's my one and only dad and he is now gone. I will miss him dearly but am focusing my energy around sending him off with immense love, knowing that he is free from all the fears and anxieties he dealt with in his lifetime. We will be celebrating his love of music, humor, friends and good times in his home after Thanksgiving.
Even though I don't get to tell it to him directly, I do wish him love on this tenth day of November, when he came to embrace what he could in his lifetime.
The photo is the most recent of my parents together, who have been separated since I was 10. People have always said that I look a lot like both of them. It's nice to see them here, together, looking quite happy.

This past week, Julian stepped up to the grades with the rose ceremony and had his first day of first grade. His feeling about it all? "I can't believe I get to do this everyday for a whole year!"
When he stood up in front of the school with his yellow rose, he kept inhaling deeply, to take in as much of that sweet scent as he could (don't mind the petal that fell). How representative of what this year holds for him with so much to stimulate his senses and help his maturing bud grow.
He also lost his fifth tooth on the first day of first grade.
Lulu had her first day of the Marigold preschool. Her excitement quickly turned that morning as she ran out of the room and hid behind the coat in her cubby (butterfly symbol for which we now have matching socks - complete happenstance, I promise.) After I returned with her to the room and stayed for circle, tears were inevitably shed when I shut the door behind me. I was assured they did not last. "It was as if she suddenly decided it wasn't fun being sad at school," her teacher explained at pickup. Long nap that afternoon for my big girl.
I also had my first day of my second year. Feeling proud to be stepped up in the program, even if the work load is daunting.
Next week will be our first of a complete new school year schedule. It will also include my first time ever with blocks of free time while both kids are in school.

Every year, we take our summer trek north to Oregon. There is so much to discover as we visit friends and family along the way. At the close of our vacation, I often look at the kids (I can really call them that now) and notice in what ways they've grown.
From brief encounters with new children to staying with grandparents, the comfort and ease of interactions continue to increase. Each encourages the other in areas of greater confidence. What one may feel shy about is quickly forgotten when the other jumps at the opportunity.
The trip started with the Folklife Festival and we are so grateful for all the talent in Humboldt. Especially feeling gratitude towards Lyndsey Battle for providing Julian's first ukele lesson (with an appearance in the Sunday paper!) and our road-trip-sing-along-music. None of it would have been a part of our summer if it weren't for our dear, Arcata friends.
River play in Gold Hill and bonding with grandma and grandpa for a few days was a nice bridge to the next leg of the trip in Portland. Spoiled by Aunt Siri, the kids got their fill of Herbie the Lovebug, an ice cream party and Slappy Cakes. I got a bit spoiled, too with a trip to the Goodwill super store, unplanned city adventures, and the annual Portland date with Chris. Our main purpose, of course, was to visit with family, which we kept busy with on many a late night.
Seeing Chris' grandparents decline over the years has been a hard process and also one that reminds us all of the course of life. The kids happily played in the hospice rooms, observing how we interacted with these two most influential people in Chris' life. Their play would be interrupted with a newfound curiosity as they made their way in for a closer look. Studying the aged bodies, they took in what they would question later.
Tonight, our conversation at bedtime included two comments that struck me as a theme of this summer's trip.
Lulu: When I grow up, do I have to be a grown up?
Julian: Does it hurt to die? I bet it doesn't since we're born from a seed and that doesn't hurt.
Their reflections and their ways of processing such complexities revealed in the bedtime chatter that I love so much.
With all the wildfires in Oregon and California, the smoke was a bit heavy in Gold Hill. With a few days left and not as much freedom to roam outdoors, we took off with Sue to the small coastal town of Brookings. The kids were thrilled to stay in a motel. "Look, we even have closets with our own hangers...and a toaster!" Julian exclaimed, running around to inspect the rooms. Lulu unpacked and organized her clothes into the dresser drawers. When I asked her where Julian would put his clothes, she immediately reorganized the whole set up.
We found ourselves wandering the beach one afternoon, which ended with two kids chasing (and running from) waves. Back to the car, stripped and wrapped in beach towels, they were were relieved to be driving home to plunge into a warm, bubble bath. Microwavable popcorn and a movie for all was a special treat to end the day.
With all of this fun behind us now, our trip is coming to an end. Through daily life experiences with loved ones, they have gained so much. Although none of us want to return home to our 'normal' lives, we still have a couple more summer adventures ahead, so "our vacation is not over yet," Julian reminds us.

Week four is complete with a wonderful celebration of summer's end. A nearby Fellowship hall was converted into a tranquil space for our choir and eurythmy performances, as well as our lighthearted roasts of the faculty in the form of some hilarious skits. Artwork was exhibited and feasts (two!) were shared.
My class pulled together with such determination and focus to present that the 'first years' are fully capable. Feeling proud of our feat as performers, I also have a great sense of accomplishment as we are now the new 'second years'.
Closely watching the many footsteps to follow, we are gaining clarity as to what lies ahead. At times, carrying on with the program seems impossible and I wonder how I will ever make it. But, then, I know there is no option but to stay in and carry forth with this path of self development and teacher training.
Feeling much gratitude for being part of this community and to the many ways I am being supported through this process.

I made it through week three, and surprisingly left on Friday feeling more adequate than I had predicted. The teachers are amazing at ever so subtly giving feedback to the group, yet somehow we know how to take it in individually. Our senses are so alive, but not just externally. Through our entire being, we are able to process the guidance given.
Driving home, I realized that in the past three weeks, I have gained capacities as a singer, sculptor, writer, draw-er, and eurythmist. My greatest compliment? That I have good gestalt by my dear eurythmy teacher whom I have the utmost respect for.
I am so looking forward to week four, even if it is a whirlwind of a tizzied week preparing for our performance and the third year's graduation!

After an eventful weekend, I am hardly rested enough from week two that's it quite hard for me to imagine my alarm going off at 6am tomorrow morning. Yet, there is also an excitement to return to the routine and wonderful work.
Advised to keep it calm over the weekend, I did anything but that. Chris and I got a night out in this beautiful weather to celebrate eleven years married. We also invited family from close and far for a dinner in the garden. As the sun set, the glow of candlelight took over, illuminating the silhouettes of flowers. Images, sounds, words and people that left my soul feeling very satisfied.
With a quiet from the kids' room, the hum of the dishwasher, and bags ready at the door for an early morning departure, I'm off to rest for week three...the week I've been most warned about. And, what can I do to truly prepare? Remain open and dedicated to this process and the wisdom behind it.

The Power of "No"
"Are you going to commit to attending shareholder meetings, then?", the credit union rep inquires, semi-indignantly.
Again, we say in unison, "No." And we explain, "We don't have to."
I then explain, "I don't give a proxy to Warren Buffett to vote my shares of Berkshire-Hathaway, just in case Uncle Warren gets a wild hair and decides to lose his mind. I'm surely not going to give my proxy to you. " One tiny thing I forgot, though: I don't have voting shares in Berkshire-Hathaway. I own Berkshire-Hathaway B, not Berkshire-Hathaway A.
That said, the point remains the same. "No" is a powerful word, and we need to use it more often because it expresses so much.
I was amazed at how calmly the credit union rep slid that agreement across the desk and attempted to pass it off as something we had to sign as a condition of opening our account. I won't say that BMNB and I are the most business-savvy folks on the planet, but we knew enough to know that a proxy agreement is not mandatory. "No" for us expressed to the credit union rep that we were more knowledgeable about our options than was he and we refused to accept the only one provided to us.
It got me to thinking of more instances when the power of "no" expressed more than refusal. An elder relative of mine was approached by her sister to sign a quit-claim deed relinquishing her interest in two pieces of property arguably held in the name of her and all her siblings for a mere $10. All the other siblings had signed. After much consternation, she said "no." Then the madness ensued. Tears, disappointment, manipulation, and one high-powered attorney's efforts to get her to sign rained down around her, and despite it all, she stood her ground and remained resolute: No.
For her, "no," wasn't just an expression of a refusal to sign. It was an expression of hurt, hurt that a sibling would try to wrest from her property that their mother intended she have. "No" was a way to put the brakes on a questionable transaction, to "lawyer up" like her sister did, to come to a previously non-existent negotiating table with information, options, and to possibly obtain a different result. "No" is a powerful word, y'all.
Think of it: Netflix customers said "no" to splitting streaming and DVD rental services, resulting higher fees, and Qwikster. Now Netflix is rethinking its course of action and Qwikster is no more.
Bank of America customers said "no" to a $5 fee to use their debit cards to spend their own damn money. Bank of America is walking back its decision, saying the corporate analog of, "My bad."
Occupy Wall Street protesters said "no" to Wall Street corruption and greed and Washington's complicity with it all. This expression of "no" speaks not only as a refusal to continue to go along, but a consciousness-raising movement, giving a name to the rest of us who continue to be screwed by capitalism run amok: The 99%.
Even a rooster expressed his "no" and his disapproval of BMNB being on his property this weekend, attacking BMNB as he attempted to help me to pick up something on the rooster's property. With BMNB being the only other male on the property and arguably a threat to the rooster's good thing -- unlimited food and sex with the hens -- the rooster thumped BMNB on the back of the leg with a wing and crowed his "no."
"No" gives us the power to do alot, including:
* Refuse to accept the status quo
* Refuse to accept what's being offered
* Express anger
* Express outrage
* Express hurt
* Allow time to consider different options
* Express superior knowledge of available options and exercise those options
* Express suspicion or discomfort based on instinct and act on that instinct
"No" is indeed a powerful word that we need to use more often.
In this recession, many of us have had to sit on our "noes" in the workplace for lack of options, for fear of losing the jobs we have. What employers don't realize is that recessions don't last forever, and many employees are going to express their "noes" by retiring, finding better jobs, or just developing other streams of income and walking away.
"No" is a powerful thing. Use it.

Hmmm...I never thought about the power in saying "No". I need to start using it more often.

I've read this a couple of times, and there is some nice work here. I totally agree; most Americans are afraid to say "no" for various reasons, and they should learn to say "no" more often.
I've travelled all over the world - something every American should do - and what did I learn? Well, a few things: 1) Americans ain't always all that and a bag o' chips. There are some cultures around the world that are surely better (I personally like the people in Chile, Portugal and Greece better. And if I thought about it I could surely expand that list.) 2) Americans have been brainwashed, err, "socialized," to make other people happy, at their own expense. Ugh. If I could change one thing about this country, it would be the following: To yourself first be true. 3) Not that I'm a big fan of the Parisians - they are curt at best, and that's on a good day - but they know how to say "no" early and often. I'll give them points for honesty.
One issue about the word "no" though: people will not like you - particularly here in America - when you bring out that "controversial" word. Well, to you I say this: who cares? If someone asked you to jump off a cliff, would you say "yes"? Don't say "no." Say "hell no!"

Kappa Delta Epsilon maintains a well-behaved, reputable status in their social life. While making friends and having fun, Epsilon stills strives for that which is honorable, beautiful, and highest.
Epsilon pairs with fraternities every week for exchanges. Exchanges are parties rented out at a venue in Baton Rouge by the fraternity to spread social awareness of our chapter. Many of them have vivid and entertaining themes! From paint wars to lumberjacks, Epsilon members dress in hilarious themes and have fun.
Epsilon also hosts a White Rose Formal every Spring. The freshmen girls wear long, white dresses and get presented to the chapter by their fathers. They get presented by walking down the main foyer stairs and accepting a white rose. The whole chapter meets for the White Rose Formal at the house and gets on buses to take them to venue. This year's White Rose Formal is on March 8th at Hemingbough Plantation in St. Francisville!
Epsilon also hosts a Spring and Fall grub. Grub stands for Girls Round Up Boys and is merely a date party for the chapter. Each grub has a theme voted on by the chapter. Last Fall's grub was themed "You Used to Love Me," where members dressed up as old fads and fashions they used to love. From Little Rascals to parachutes, Epsilon dressed to impress.

favorably than nuclear power because of the perceived benefits associated with medicine and the relatively strong trust in the medical profession. Public perception, however, is not free of anxieties associated with radiation's risk of subsequent cancer. In view of the psychological profiles discussed above, strong public reaction to incidents of overexposure is not surprising. Small incidents can cause major ripple effects, and these in turn may prompt calls for stricter regulation.
Further studies are clearly necessary to understand some of the perceptions of radiation medicine risk. There is a distinct need to develop appropriate strategies for dealing with these perceptions. Effort should be placed on trust-building strategies that ease the "dread" and "unknown" aspects of radiation risk. The major medical benefits of radiation medicine must be emphasized. Furthermore, the perceptual linkages among nuclear power, Three Mile Island, and radiation medicine must be uncoupled.
This chapter has explored several aspects of the risks involved in the use of ionizing radiation in medicine. Having set out basic concepts necessary to understanding the regulation of these risks, including the linear, no-threshold model currently used by U.S. regulatory agencies, the chapter then goes on to look at what is known about the actual incidence of adverse events in radiation medicine. Although comparisons between misadministrations involving NRC-regulated materials and adverse events in other medical modalities are imperfect, the committee felt that such a broad contextual view helped it in its assessment of the risks arising from use of byproduct materials. Finally, recognizing that regulation is often as much a response to public pressure as it is to scientific opinion, the committee has included a look into what is known about the public's perception of ionizing radiation.

Out on the real snow in the Snow Park. The North Pole really is here at Chill Factore where you will visit Santa in his amazing grotto.
Why is a visit to Santa at Chill Factoreso unique?
Ah that's easy. It's because all visits to Santa are combined with an activity out in the snow. Children under 4 can play in Mini Moose Land, where we have soft play toys, a mini sledging track and Mini Mooses house. If you're children are aged 4+, you can enjoy the thrills of all our activities in the Snow Park - Sledge 'o' Mania, Downhill Donuts and the Luge Slip 'n' Slide.
So what shall I wear?
Don't forget, it's cold out on the snow so you'll need warm clothing. You can choose to wear your own or hire our jackets and trousers for only £6 a set. Everyone going on to the snow for activities is automatically supplied with snow boots and a helmet.
So how does it all work?
Make sure you arrive in plenty of time as we will be very busy.
Head straight to the Santa's Grotto Desk (rather than the Guest Services queue). Here we'll print your tickets.
If you are booked for Mini Moose Land & Santa, you will be directed to the changing village if you need snow boots and warm clothing and then you will join the queue to see Santa. After seeing Santa you'll go straight into Mini Moose Land to play in the snow.
If you've booked Snow Park & Santa, then on receipt of your tickets at the Santa Desk you'll be directed to the Changing Village to pickup boots and helmets (and warm clothing if you're hiring it). Once you've changed you'll be able to go out on to the snow to enjoy all the fun activities at the time you've booked. After the fun on the snow you'll come back in to join the queue to see Santa. Don't worry, you can keep your warm clothing on as you'll have to stroll back on to the snow to visit the big man in his grotto.
How long before my allotted time should I arrive?
Please arrive 45 minutes before the time you have booked so that you have plenty of time to pick up tickets and get changed before you head out for your snow activity.
How long will we have to queue?
The queue usually takes around 30 minutes and whilst we try to encourage Santa not to 'ho ho ho' for too long, he does like to chat to children and so the queue can, during peak periods, take a bit longer. Our elves are here to make the experience enjoyable and there's usually something going on to amuse you whilst you wait. Guests who arrive on the day with no ticket may be subjected to longer wait times during busy periods if they are able to purchase a ticket.
How long will the visit with Santa last?
A visit to see Santa lasts a few minutes.
Will Santa give me a gift?
Of course, this is Santa. It's what he does :)
What if I've not been good this year?
Ooh, we can all be cheeky sometimes but don't worry… Santa always remembers the good things you've done.
Is the gift suitable for all ages?
How many children can see Santa at once?
Visits to Santa at Chill Factore are especially for you; just you and your family visit Santa together. If you would like to bring along a group just give us a call on 0843 596 22 33 and we will book you in. Depending on how many of your there are we may need to split you into smaller groups.
Must my child be accompanied?
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets to Santa are for 1 adult and 1 child. Additional adult and additional child tickets are then available.
Will Santa be made aware of my child's disabilities and act accordingly if necessary?
Yes, if you indicate when booking that a member of your party has special needs, we will contact you to get further details and make any necessary notes on your booking. On the day we can then notify the elves who will make the appropriate provisions.
Have all staff been CRB checked?
Will a photo be taken of my child's visit?
Yes, one of Santa's elves will take a picture of your visit inside Santa's grotto which you can approve on a monitor. We aim to make sure you have a lovely photograph as a momento and offer a range of Christmas gifts to display your photos such as baubles, snow frames and snow globes. Please see Santa photos and gifts tab on the Christmas pages of the website.
Can I take my own photos?
No, we don't permit the use of cameras or phones in the grotto.
Will the photos be stored or deleted?
Photos will be securely stored until Christmas Eve when the Grotto closes at which stage they will be deleted.
Is there somewhere we can head to for food and drink?
Yes, there's a great choice. You can enjoy delicious pizzas and pasta overlooking the snow in the Mont Blanc restaurant, indulge in Nandos or pop into Wetherspoons. Then there's Fredericks for dreamy ice-creams or enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat in either Costa or Café Extreme. Oh and don't forget Chilli's sports bar where you can have your drinks overlooking the main slope.
Where can I park?
There is a free car park outside Chill Factore.
Is there disabled access and parking?
Yes plenty.
Are there baby changing facilities available?
There are dedicated baby changing areas facilities.
Can I store my coat, bag or buggy?
Yes, you can leave buggies in a designated area outside the Grotto. Santa's ever-helpful elves will point you in the right direction.

The Hills: The Most Unforgettable Momentsby Free Britney at . Comments
The Hills returns tonight for its final season ... most likely. It could be extended a bit. Regardless, here's a look back at some moments that defined its first five:
FORGET PARIS: In the first season finale, Lauren Conrad made a brutal mistake that would haunt her for two more years, choosing to spend the summer with tool Jason Wahler over accompanying Teen Vogue editor Lisa Love to Paris.
Fortunately, Whitney Port stepped in and fast-tracked her fashion career. Not that LC is hurting for cash, or boyfriends. Kyle Howard's a big upgrade over J-Wahl.
FALLING DOWN: As a Teen Vogue intern, Whitney endeared herself to millions after what could have been her worst moment, falling on stage after Vogue tapped her to model Hilary Swank's Oscar gown on Good Morning America.
The way she composed herself and handled the embarrassment with grace and dignity only impressed the higher-ups more, though (sorry to rehash this, Whit).
Two prominent former loves of Lauren Conrad.
THE LC SEX TAPE: It did not exist, but boy, did it spark a lot of celebrity gossip. Spencer Pratt (and in turn, THG) got so much mileage out of this twisted rumor.
BABY MAMA DRAMA: More than once, Heidi Montag has effed with Spencer regarding pregnancy. All a big hoax to watch him squirm? We're all for it even if so.
KISSING BRODY J: Everybody does it at some point, but Lauren and he had such chemistry. Still, despite the Las Vegas birthday hookup, Brody Jenner and Conrad determined they work better as friends, which they've remained since.
THE TRANSFORMATION OF HEIDI MONTAG'S FACE: Enough said, and ongoing.
WORSE THAN HEIDI: LC accused Audrina Patridge of insinuating she hooked up with Justin-Bobby - and that Audzo is worse than Heidi Montag as a result.
A shot from Heidi and Spencer's wedding - the non-staged version.
CAREER EVOLUTION: The show began with a focus on young women and careers in L.A., then became about quasi-celebs whose careers were being on The Hills.
THE WEDDING: Heidi and Spencer's wedding had something old, new, borrowed and even blue ... the dresses worn by both Lauren Conrad and her old nemesis, Kristin Cavallari, who replaced her as the star of the show. Cold, MTV. Cold.
F*%KING PIRANHAS: Kristin didn't wait long to stir up trouble, calling out Audrina and Stephanie Pratt and declaring "you f*%ked with the WRONG girl."
GROSS LOVE TRIANGLE: On a list of things we didn't need to spend a full season watching, Kristin and Audrina fighting over Justin-Bobby would be tops.
It's great watching The Hills now because of two reasons. Number one, LC is off and grazing at every buffet on the West Coast and the fact that Spencer is on the show. He appears to be what men would like to be but can't become. With Spencer and Very Beautiful Heidi on the show, it makes for an enjoyable half hour of drama in Hollywood.
I'd never watched the hills untill last week just never fancied it! Now i'm hooked....I feel so sorry for heidi (im only as far as season 3 and watched all them episodes in 3 days haha. so ive not yet seen heidi with her plastic surgery) Spencer is awful!!! Why she puts up with him is beyond me! I love love love lauren she's a great friend, a good laugh and very loyal.....I love the hills haha......oh and broody mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....yes please!
The show was absolutely THE BEST EVER !! The Hill;s is funny sad intense everything and now its totally real.. Great Job MTV LOVE IT, The cast is super, so good to see them friends.
I've watched since Laguna Beach, and I need to see how this will all end. I really hope that Lauren comes back and slaps the plastic off Heidi's face and knocks some sort of sense in her.

France vs Wales
Eurostar will be running at capacity as crowds of rugby enthusiasts flock to the French capital for the crowning match of the tournament.
The imposing Stade de France has an impressive seating capacity of 80,000 and plays host to many different sporting events. The flying saucer-like structure was inAugusturated in 1988 with a France-Spain soccer match. As the home of the French football team, it was also the site of France's historic 3-0 victory over Brazil in the 1998 World Cup Final.
Located in the suburb of Saint-Denis, it is easily accessible from the Gare du Nord, using the RER B. And then the whole of Paris is at your feet…
France will be hoping to avenge the 16-9 defeat inflicted upon them by Wales in 2012.

November 27, 2014
Posted: Saturday, February 8, 2014 --- 10:04 p.m.
A little bit before 1:00 a.m. this morning, Janesville Police witnessed a physical disturbance outside of the Back Bar on the 1900 block of Beloit Avenue.
Officers outside of the bar were able to quickly disperse the crowd and arrest Zachary Geimer, who was responsible for causing the disturbance. Geimer was still armed with a knife when they encountered him. Additional officers attempted to stop a vehicle that fled the lot during the disturbance. They weren't able to eluded police for long, as they were stopped less than a mile away, when the car became stuck in the snow on the 2600 block of Venture Drive.
Curtis Dortch was arrested for fleeing, his 2nd OWI, and driving with a revoked license. Christopher Brooks was also arrested on a probation hold.
One man was treated and released at Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center for a laceration to his hand.

Pansand Resort
What we say:
The Pansand Resort is by far the poshest place on little Bulon island. The resort staff sometimes seem to outnumber the guests during low season, as most travellers are perhaps scared off by the steep prices. The resort is right on the beach which, although rockier than the sand near Bulone Resort, offers a lot more privacy. The bungalows are well-constructed and maintained with lovely wooden furnishings, cosy beds, and a private veranda. The room rates include breakfast and VAT, but still seem way too high considering the bungalows only have fans and cold-water showers. The restaurant is the most tranquil on Bulon next to the sea, though dishes are commensurately priced. Visa and Mastercard are accepted at no additional charge, and internet is available at 3 baht per minute. If walk-in rates seem exorbitant, check online for promotional rates. High season only.

Tina Fey Says There is "No Way" She Will Host the 2014 Oscars
Only a day after Seth MacFarlane said, in no uncertain terms, that he would not be returning to the Oscars after his much-criticized stint as host, we're slapped with the news that the ideal choice to replace him, Tina Fey, won't be taking the stage either.
2013 Oscars: Seth MacFarlane Says There is "No Way" He'll Host Again
There's been no shortage of controversy following the 2013 Oscars, most of it dealing with host Seth MacFarlane's particular brand of comedy, which is either hilariously crude or mean-spirited and misogynistic, depending on who you ask. But with ratings higher than last year's ceremony (40.3 million people tuned in to watch 'Argo' win Best Picture), you'd wonder if the Academy would decide that further outcry was worth it and ask the 'Family Guy' creator back for a second time. However, MacFarlane himself preemptively answered that question on Twitter.
2013 Oscars: The Most Watched Telecast in Three Years Goes to…
For some, Sunday is a day for sports, for others 'The Walking Dead,' and another sizable portion staring still in drooled anticipation of the March 31 premiere of 'Game of Thrones.' Yet on this particular Sunday, it seems all eyes were on the 2013 Oscars, watching Ben Affleck blubber about his 'Argo' win and Seth MacFarlane sing about Jennifer Lawrence's boobs. The numbers are in, and it seems the 2013 Oscars delivered the highest viewers of any telecast in 3 years! Find out how many watched inside!
'Argo' Wins Best Picture at the 2013 Oscars
'Argo' was named Best Picture at the 2013 Oscars this Sunday.
Seth MacFarlane's Oscars Monologue: Captain Kirk, Sock Puppets and More
The 2013 Oscars ceremony, hosted by Seth MacFarlane, started off with a bang. We knew there was gonna be at least one or two musical numbers, given the comedian's past musical turns for 'Family Guy,' but were you prepared for Harry Potter and Robin Boy Wonder singing and dancing together? Or, for that matter, Captain Kirk beaming in from the future?
