For other types of seeds, see Seeds (disambiguation).
Melon seeds are an item that currently can only be found in Abandoned Mine Shaft Chests or by putting a Melon Slice into the crafting grid.
Melon seeds can be planted on farmland. Over time, they grow into a stem and produce a melon on any adjacent dirt, grass or farmland block. If a melon is already occupying an adjacent spot, the stem will not grow any more melons until the melon is removed. When a melon grows on farmland it turns into a regular dirt block. A single stem can grow an unlimited number of melons.
Melon seeds take a longer time to grow than other crops, and breaking a melon block yields 3-7 melon slices which can be used as a reliable food source. Melon blocks only grow when no opaque block is directly above the stem. Melon seeds, as with other seeds, need a certain amount of light to grow. A torch seems to be the minimum lighting needed. redstone torches or very little light cause the seeds to pop out of the ground and can be picked up again.
Melon seeds can be farmed by using the aforementioned method. This is because when the seeds pop out of the ground because of low lighting, they may occasionally return 2 seeds to the planter. As of the release of 1.0.0, Melon Seeds are affected by bone meal only in the first stage of growth, not once they are a yellow stem.
Additional information regarding farming melons can be found under Melon Farming.
Auto Farming
An automatic melon farm can be created using pistons. Placing melon seeds, empty dirt, and pistons in a particular fashion can ensure that melons grow in front of pistons, so when activated, the pistons break the melons. The melon slices will then be forced forward. By placing a water channel directly in front of the melons, you can build a system that will deliver the melon slices to you by water.
NOTE: If you are creating an automated farm in an enclosed space, such as underground, a melon plant requires a transparent block above it to spawn a melon in an adjacent block. This does not apply to the melon block itself, which will grow normally with a block above it.

Although the conditions during the last decade of the 20th century were right for Muslim women peaceful revolution that is firmly grounded in the Qur'an, the drastic change in the global political landscape since 2001 reversed these conditions for the majority of Muslim women. There is no simple solution, and there is no hope for any meaningful reform in the near future. Both Muslims and Westerners are to blame.

It is necessary, therefore, to replace the conceived notion that Islam is a religion limited to the ritual acts of worship (the five pillars) with the affirmation that Islam is a system designed for a purpose, and that this system is either accepted as a whole, understood within its ontological worldview, and acted upon within its components, or its practice may not be total. It is as important to understand that one cannot be operating partially within this system and still claim it as the base of operation. That is because whenever something is not accomplished according to what the system was designed to achieve one cannot discredit the system for not fulfilling its goals. One might understand the reason(s) that have lead to the unexpected results, rather, by exploring the steps that may have been missed during the application. I am proposing that Islam as a system or an ideology has a central concept (or an essence) around which certain principles (or secondary and tertiary concepts) are built. These principles vary in their priority depending on their closeness to objectifying the central concept. The closer they are, the higher value they should be given and the more consideration they should receive in application of the system. Then on the outer circle (of the imaginary diagram) there are the auxiliary hypotheses (or the manifestations) which, if were appropriated within the framework of the central concept and with the essence of the principles as the base, will achieve the intended results (or the outcome) of the system. The focus of this paper is on the Islamic principle of al-Khilafah (vicegerency of human beings to Allah as the Only God and the Supreme Guide), its social implications for the family, and where and how its manifestations may have been mistaken for its essence. Al-Khilafah is the purpose of the Islamic system, that is, fulfilling the purpose of creation and the will of Allah through human morality. The first part of the argument is that the principle of al-khilafah has been generally understood by Muslims and non-Muslims alike, and has been practiced by the majority of Muslims on its manifestation level and not at the essence level of the principle. Furthermore, the perception (conception and practice) of this principle has been generally outside the Islamic ontological view and without consideration of the central concept of Islam, Tawhid (the Oneness of God and humanity). The second part of the argument will be stated as follows. Unless scholars, Muslims or non-Muslims, who are concerned with the study of Islamic family realize the different conceptual levels of the Islamic system, understand the variation in the implications of the different conceptualizations, and use the central concept as the epistemological base, their attempt to understand or prescribe solutions to injustice in male-female relations in the Muslim family will fail. Also, as long as Muslims are practicing the principle of al Khilafah and its social and political implications on the manifestation level only, they will not fulfill that principle nor the central concept of Islam, Tawhid.

Accessing Islamic higher learning (deeper knowledge of the Islamic primary sources, the Quran and the authentic Hadith [prophetic tradition]), is argued to be the means by which the Muslim woman self-identity is recognized as a trustee. Relying solely on others' interpretations to guide her spiritual and intellectual needs is by itself an evidence that the Muslim woman's right to understand, to consciously choose, and to actively act on her choice of Islam is being compromised. Muslim Woman's deeper knowledge of the Islamic primary sources is significant to defining her relationship to God and to others. Muslim woman's understanding of "human rights" within the Islamic worldview, based on pedagogical reading (the art of learning and teaching) of the Quran is significant. I derive the rationale behind the demand for woman's educational rights from the Islamic worldview. The methodologies of the discipline of education and the strategies to implement the platform for action--that define the parameters for the Muslim woman's human rights--are grounded in that worldview. Examining her role as a human entity in the Quran does not merely concern the Muslim woman's "free choice;" it concerns her ability to maintain the pedagogical dynamics of Islam to effect a sustainable change in history. Self-realization of Muslim woman can only effect a sustainable change in history when that self-realization unfolds the meaning of trusteeship. The Quranic intention of trusteeship or vicegerency (AL-khilafah) (2:30) eliminates the replacement of the individual trusteeship by proxy. The intent of this essay is to make a pedagogical interpretation of the word and the script of the sacred, analyzing empirical data concerning Syrian Muslim women's perception of Islam regardless of their educational level. Such an interpretation is to be a meaningful exercise to women living in the post-modern era and to produce an action plan for the Muslim woman to regain her identification with Islam. One of the Quranic intentions in entrusting human beings with individual rights and responsibilities toward themselves, each other, and the universe is to bring a balance between the sexes. The interpretations of these rights and responsibilities, therefore, need to stem from efforts to exact the balance between polarized perspectives that have dominated, for instance, the fields of Muslim women's studies and of human rights activism. The strategic implications of this chapter lie in : (1) presenting a pedagogical paradigm to rethink and to act within the balanced perspective of Islam and its primary source, the Quran, away from the many layers of "taqlids" (following precedence) and from Western rationalization of Islam, (2) facilitating for Muslim women the strategies to realize their identity and to re-learn Islam in its clear, transforming meanings, and (3) interpreting human-rights activists' concerns within the Quranic concerns for a just human society, where justice means balance and fair play in the order of things, and a sustainable change of women's role.

Authors: Barazangi, Nimat Hafez Abstract: I focus on issues of equilibrium in Muslim women's education to understand the tension between the ideals and practice and its ramifications for Islamic and Muslims' education in the United States. I argue that one maintainer of Muslim women's low effectiveness, perpetuated across new generations of Muslims, is the general perception that women are the preservers of culture and religion by proxy. The issue before us: How is it possible for a morally dependent individual to instill the character of autonomous spiritual and intellectual Muslim who can integrate effectively in a "pluralistic" society? In addition to the various degrees of perceptions and misconceptions about Islam, religious tolerance and Multiculturalism, the problem is mainly of perceiving women, particularly Muslim women as morally dependent and, hence, socially and politically irrelevant or non-central to issues of Islamic education. With the exception of few, the majority of Muslim women are neither involved in the educational decsion-making of the Muslim community nor of this nation. Often perceived as preservers of customary practices instead of agents of cultural change and contributors to inter-cultural understanding, Muslim women and their Islamic higher learning has been marginalized.

Parents are concerned with how best to transmit the Islamic ideological and Arab cultural heritage to their children. One of their problems derives from differences among Arab Muslims, who come from varied national origins and hold several interpretations of the Islamic view, not all of which are based on the Qur'an; as a result they also have different nationalistic attachments to their understanding of Arab heritage. A second problem arises between immigrant parents and their American-reared children. The children may participate in American culture to a greater extent than their parents, and they are constantly faced with the conceptual need to accommodate potentially conflicting points of view. Effective identity transmission requires the determination of the nature and extent of the different interpretations held by parents and their children and of the way these interpretations are reflected in their practice of Islam and association with the Arabic heritage.

I will analyze the participatory or democratization efforts by members of this informally organized group (the group) that is working toward Muslim women's self-identity. Islamic higher learning and its relation to Islamic principles of gender justice provide the framework of this analysis. Various factors have been affecting the priorities in women's Islamic knowledge and self-realization within the predominantly Muslim society of Syria. Even when the group emphasizes community-based informal education and social welfare activities, inside and outside views of Islam and Muslim women do influence the decision-making process. These decisions may concern matters ranging from the group agenda to the members' identifications with Islam. Interpreting Islam in this group's course of action is, consciously or unconsciously, affected by the domestic, national and international affairs of Syria. The present Syrian constitution does not declare Islam as a state religion. Yet, it is hardly possible to find a discussion of any issue in Syria or any other Middle Eastern and Muslim countries without invoking a "monolithic" representation of Islamic religion-cultural and political image. Meanwhile, no studies attempted to present the Islamic conceptual and pedagogical foundations for individuals' self- identity with Islam and the consequent civic decision-making process that affects the individual and communal life. As a PAR researcher and educator, my working and reporting on this group is to argue for the change in discourse to be able to understand Muslim women's movement towards democratization. Some members of the group felt a need to further their indigenous educational strategies and invited me to participate in the group's study-circles. The group strategies consisted on reading the Qur'an and acting on what they learn. I knew of the group earlier and had informally observed some of their activities during subsequent visits to Syria. My presence in Syria for a period of three months annually during 1995-1997 helped develop this research and educational working relationship with the group. Considering the Islamic principle of self-discipline for self-realization as neither inferior nor superior, this group affirms autonomous responsibility as central to the Islamic religio-political process of educating. The group interpreted this principle to mean first-hand knowledge of Islam from its primary sources. Intimate knowledge of these sources (the Qur'an and the books of Hadith that contain the Prophet Muhammad's extrapolation of Qur'anic principles) is viewed as the only means to 'liberation.' Liberation is intended to rid oneself of the dichotomous agendas of "liberal" vis-a-vis "traditional" interpretations of Islam.3 The group's primary concern have been to understand and apply the Qur'anic way of life. Participatory decision-making process in the group, has been confined within the males' 'traditional' (i.e., grounded in absolute principles) interpretation of Islamic texts concerning the role of individual within a religio-socio-political structure of family and society. My work with this group, as a facilitator, takes the Islamic principle of self-discipline one step further to affirm self-identity within the Islamic premise of gender justice. To facilitate their movement from the predominantly males' interpretations of the Islamic primary sources is to make the Islamic principle of trusteeship (Qur'an, 2:30) explicit through higher Islamic learning. A Muslim individual may not fulfill the Islamic pedagogy of a trustee without being able to autonomously choose, understand, and act on her choice of Islam as a worldview. This process requires both autonomous morality and intimate knowledge of the Qur'an before an individual can act as a trustee. Proxy or heternomous moralities--though represent prevalent practices--do not replace autonomous morality. Community welfare is central to Islamic principles of governing, but it does not preclude the primacy of autonomous morality as a form of self-governing. Within the guidance of the Qur'an and Hadith, when in conflict, the community collective welfare takes precedent over individual rights. My analysis of this group self-learning and self-governing is intended to present a form of democratization by this Syrian feminine movement to affirm Muslim women's agency. The group may not call its work democratic, nor feminine. This movement, though, has achieved and maintained some form of effective intellectual and civic participation despite the historical and cultural constraints that dominated the Syrian society, like other Muslim-Arab societies. My intention is not to compare this Syrian grassroots movement with other movements inside or outside Syria, but to change the perception of Muslim women's invisibility as an indicator of full dependency and/or oppression. By changing the discourse we find that "mainstream" literature concerning democratization, Syrian society, and Syrian Muslim Arab women have overlooked this type of groups because these groups are not connected to the center of power. Applying self-identity for self-realization approach within the Islamic framework of gender justice as a base of participation or democratization presents different set of assumptions. Self identity for self-realization approach presupposes higher Islamic learning to re-gain the power of knowledge as a means of active agency. Further synthesis of the context of this study, the history and culture of Syria provide evidence for this group's active agency. Description: Copyright 1999, Indiana University Press.

Muslim woman's reliance solely on others' interpretations to guide her spiritual and intellectual needs, be it those of Muslim or of non-Muslim men and women, is by itself an evidence that Muslim woman's right to understand, to consciously choose, and to actively act on her choice of Islam is being compromised. Full access to the Diin, the Islamic belief system, calls for the Muslim woman to take part in the interpretation of Islamic teachings of the Qur'an and the Hadith and to maintain the pedagogical dynamics of Islam, rather than being limited to maintaining the human re-production, the Muslim family structure, or the individual human rights as suggested by others. My understanding of woman's gender justice vis-a-vis "liberation" within the Islamic worldview is based on epistemological reading (the philosophy of knowledge) of the Qur'an. The rationale behind the demand for woman's access to knowledge is derived from the Islamic framework. The methodologies of the discipline of education and learning and the struggle for human dignity that define the parameters for Muslim woman's emancipation are grounded in that framework. To examine her role as a human entity in the Qur'an does not merely concern the Muslim woman's "freedom of expression;" it concerns the woman as an autonomous spiritual and intellectual human being who can effect a change in history. The intent of this chapter and of my overall research is to make a contribution towards an educational and pedagogical interpretation of the Qur'an for women living in the post-modern era and thereby to produce an action plan for the Muslim woman to regain her identification with Islam. My analysis of empirical data concerning Muslim women's perception of Islam, the contemporary North American Muslim woman, in a historical context serves to clarify the meaning and the implications of Islamic higher learning regardless of these women's educational level. Preliminary observations suggest that the majority of Muslim women's movements do not aim to eliminate the tension between the two sexes by claiming sameness in the struggle for equality. Rather, their goal is Taqwa (to balance) the tensionback in favor of woman, as the Qur'an intends in the first place when human beings, male and female, were entrusted with individual rights and responsibilities toward themselves, each other, and the universe. I will argue that one of the basic principles of Islamic justice is gender justice. The interpretations of these "equal" rights and responsibilities, however, stem from different perspectives of Islam. Muslim women groups are scattered on a continuum from the idealized polemic Muslim to the idealized static Western perspectives. Few are those who are making efforts to exact the balance between these perspectives. The pedagogical implications of this research lies in : (1) intervening among Muslim men by coaching them to rethink and to act within the balanced perspective of Islam and its first source, the Qur'an, away from both the many layers of Muslim "taqlid " (following precedence) and from Western interpretations of Islam, (2) facilitating for Muslim women the environment and the means to realize their identity as autonomous spiritual and intellectual beings, and to realize the vastness of their task in educating themselves and others in Islam--encluding changing the entrenched paradigm of understanding Islam studies and its practice, and (3) integrating human-rights activists' concerns within the Qur'anic concerns for a just human society, where justice means the balance and fair play in the ideals and realities among all humans.

If your office wants to save money while making sure that essential documents get to their destination as fast as possible, then your office needs to invest in a fax to email service. This service will allow senders of faxes to send documents directly to your email account or to an online account where you can quickly download and print the said documents. This increases efficiency of business processes and also aids in cutting down costs. One clear illustration wherein offices would be able to save money is that they would not need to purchase a fax machine or lots of paper. Usually, offices already have a printer, and it would also have a steady supply of paper. If a fax machine is utilized in the office, then the purchase of the machine would cost some money. And, the machine would also require another set of paper, separate from that used by the printer.
Offices subscribing to a fax to email account would be able to save money since they will not need to purchase the equipment and the paper. It is also one way of being more accountable with its duties towards the environment. When the demand for paper is reduced, then it also follows that lesser natural resources would be used. The most noticeable resource that is saved is trees, since these are the main sources of paper. By not consuming plenty of paper at the office, a number of trees are also saved in the process. In fact, there are now many businesses that have made the first steps to become a paperless working environment.
When you have lots of paper at the office, you are also elevating the amount of clutter in the place. You only have two options when it comes to paper, it's either you keep it or trash it. The lesser amount of paper at the office, the lesser amount of trash. This also indicate that you could now give up using those bulky file cabinets that store a lot of documents. These file cabinets also cost businesses money, and even the file clerk would need to be given salary as well. Some offices may not have file clerks, but then, it is indisputable that filing tasks could use up employees' resources. Keeping lots of papers is a tedious task, and in fact, most of these papers are utilized or referred to only once. Because of all these, it is just right for a business to cut paper usage at the office.
Another avenue where a fax to email service aids in saving money for a company is when offices need to send or receive fax from overseas. With traditional fax machines, a business must have long distance service installed before a fax could be sent from overseas. In this scheme, international fees are also utilized. There is also no assurance that the phone lines could cope with fax transmissions done overseas. However, when a fax is sent to your email account, you would be able to get it no matter where you are or what time of day, and without the accompanying high fees of a long distance account. And of course, documents are sent and received in a quick and efficient manner.
Now you see these wonderful reasons why it is just but sensible for businesses to invest and subscribe to a fax to email service.

The beginning of a new year is a good time to focus on getting patients back in the door through a patient recall effort. According to CDA Endorsed Program Intuit Demandforce, keeping existing patients coming back is almost 10 times less expensive than attracting new ones.
"Chances are they will be happy to come back for a visit — all they need is a friendly reminder," said Annie Tsai, Demandforce chief marketing officer. "Patient recall efforts are often overlooked, but can be extremely efficient and easy ways to keep your chairs full and your patients happy."
Active patient recall can be important to increase revenue and to demonstrate to patients that the dentist truly cares about their continuing oral health. Whether patients are overdue for a checkup, have not booked their next multiple-treatment appointment or have an unscheduled annual teeth cleaning, there are many important considerations to keep in mind when planning a strategy for patient recall.
First and foremost, going through an entire patient base can be a daunting and overwhelming task. According to Demandforce, many practices have found online systems with automated patient reactivation communications to be helpful tools. These programs help identify patients the dental office needs to reach out to, creates the messages to send and some even allow for targeted and customized communications.
Additionally, dentists can change the way in which they deliver this message. For example, if they do not have a patient's email address, or they do not respond to an email communication, the practice can always follow up with a phone call or a postcard mailing.
"Once you have identified who to reach out to and how you want to reach them, crafting an engaging message is crucial," Tsai said. "Make sure whatever communication you choose to send out has important information readily available, so that once your patient is reminded that they need to schedule an appointment, it is a cinch for them to do so."
If a practice is sending out a postcard, the office's contact and scheduling information should be front and center. If the communication is via email and the practice has an online appointment-scheduling tool, include it in the email so the patient can schedule an appointment with one click.
"Regardless of how you go about it, patient reactivation is an important part of any dental practice's marketing, retention and engagement strategy," Tsai said. "It can help drive revenue to your practice, keep your chairs full and ensure that your patients are getting the care they need."

Hi Dr. Lam,
As you know, I had 2 moles excised earlier in the week and will have the stitches removed on Monday. (Yay!) I read thru the post-op care sheet you sent home and see that I am to discontinue applying peroxide and ointment after the stitches come out. Would it be beneficial for me to apply some sort of cream to help with redness or scarring at that point? I did a little searching and came up with two that received good reviews (Mederma and Kelo-cote Scar Gel) and was just curious what your advice would be in regards to the application of these items? Do you have a specific recommendation? Or would you suggest nothing at all?
Thanks in advance.

Oh my God.
Michael Jackson is dead. The gloved one died this afternoon after suffering cardiac arrest.
Paramedics were called the legend's home this afternoon and found him not breathing. They were unable to revive him.
Michael was about to head out on a comeback tour, beginning in London on July 13 and running until March 2010. He had been rehearsing in Los Angeles for the past two months. All 50 of the London concerts sold out within minutes.
Between the estimated $750 million he had earned throughout his career, and his 13 Grammy Awards, Michael was inarguably one of the most successful entertainers of all time.
He is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.
In shock.
Remember Michael Jackson's best moments in our King of Pop slideshow.

Thirty minutes before he was fatally shot at a family gathering Friday night on the Far South Side, Dionte Maxwell told his cousin to come over.
Then, some uninvited guests showed up, according to police and Maxwell's cousin, T'Shonda Davis.
"He called me back 10 minutes later and was like, 'Don't come,'" Davis recalled Sunday. "That's when everything started to occur."
Maxwell, 18, was trying to get the party crashers to leave his uncle's house in Chicago's Stony Island Park neighborhood when one of them shot him in the chest, Davis and police said.
Maxwell, who attended Chicago Vocational Career Academy and Rockford College, was pronounced dead shortly before midnight at Jackson Park Hospital, according to the Cook County medical examiners office.
Davis, 20, said she decided to drive over anyway and kept calling her cousin, only to get his voice mail.
Jamal Patterson, her boyfriend and Maxwell's good friend, wasn't answering either.
"Now I'm starting to worry," she said. "As I'm driving, my boyfriend called me back. He was like, 'You need to get over here fast. They just shot Dionte.'"
Roland Hayes, 17, and Darrius White, 16, have been charged with first-degree murder, armed home invasion, attempted home invasion and mob action in Maxwell's death, prosecutors said.
Charles Southern, 19, of the 11000 block of South Vernon Avenue, also was charged Sunday night with first-degree murder, armed home invasion, attempted home invasion and mob action in Maxwell's death, police said.
Friends and family Sunday recalled Maxwell as the epitome of a stand-up guy who lived for football and basketball.
His Facebook wall is full of ruminations on girls, viral videos and posts that show a young man figuring out his place in the world.
"I want a job for now," he wrote in April. "Start a business later. Young and thinking like this. I'll prove a point to yall soon. Just watch!"
Maxwell was recruited and played cornerback for the Rockford College Regents football team last fall, said Jay Emmons, the team's assistant coach and defensive coordinator.
Emmons said Maxwell was "just an all-around good kid" who said little but listened a lot in class and team meetings.
"On the field, he was a little more vocal," Emmons said. "You don't think it's going to happen to someone like Dionte."
Emmons said Maxwell withdrew from school after the fall semester and that he did not know why Maxwell left, only that he heard it was a "family issue."
Davis said she didn't know why he left school but that he had missed his family.
Either way, Maxwell was always quick to speak about his skills as a shut-down defender, his cousin said.
"He knocked the person down. But he knocked himself out too," Davis recalled of Maxwell's proudest hit. "He said he played football so good that he knocked himself out."

Downsizing Dilemma
by Frances Richie
"Help! I want to downsize, but am stuck. I would like to move to a retirement community while still young enough to enjoy all the amenities, but I am overwhelmed with the task of going through everything I own. What should I do?"
Whether single or married, divorced or widowed, most of us have hit the Downsizing Dilemma at some point in our lives. Flummoxed by what do with all of our "stuff", we find ourselves full of conflicting emotions. We may feel sad we have to move. We may not even feel ready. Our kids may want nothing or everything.

RELEASED: Sept. 22, 2005
|In this file photo, Dr. Stephen Drucker, a recent National Science Foundation grant recipient, worked on a research project in 2003 with then chemistry students Nathan Pillsbury (a 2003 chemistry graduate) and Emily Gilles (a 2004 chemistry graduate). Pillsbury is now pursuing a doctorate in physical chemistry at Purdue University, and Gilles, a laboratory technician at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., will enter a master's degree program in biomedical science next semester. Recent NSF grants to the UW-Eau Claire chemistry department will enhance opportunities for students to experience hands-on science, chemistry faculty say. (Photo by Rick Mickelson, LTS)
EAU CLAIRE — Faculty in the chemistry department at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire have secured more than $600,000 in grant money from the National Science Foundation in recent weeks — funds that will help them purchase state-of-the-art instrumentation and support faculty-student research.
"This is a huge influx of resources for a department like ours and it'll have a significant impact on what we can do for our students," Dr. Scott Hartsel, chair of the chemistry department, said of the three most recent grant awards. "Bringing $600,000 in federal dollars back to Eau Claire is no small feat."
The NSF funding will enable the chemistry department to purchase instrumentation and support the kinds of student-faculty research that's rarely found outside of large research institutions, Hartsel said. Other master's level colleges or universities with similar instruments and research opportunities are expensive private institutions, he said.
"NSF grants are highly competitive," Hartsel said, noting that in the last five years the chemistry department has received more than $2 million in NSF funding and UW-Eau Claire overall has received more than $4.2 million in NSF funding. "But the NSF looks very kindly on what we do on this campus in terms of faculty-student research."
The university's commitment to using grant dollars to introduce students to hands-on science is among the things that make it so attractive to NSF reviewers, said Dr. Stephen Drucker, associate professor of chemistry and the recipient of a recent $190,000 NSF grant.
"We have an exceptional record of getting people to be professional scientists," Drucker said. "One of the things NSF looks at is the broader impact on the science pipeline. And we have a big impact. We're one of the highest producers in the country of future chemistry Ph.D.s."
With its high numbers of women and first-generation students, the NSF recognizes that UW-Eau Claire is introducing the concept of a career in science to populations who may not have considered it an option, Hartsel said.
"We're showing first-generation students and women that they can have science careers," Hartsel said. "That's exactly the kind of impact the NSF expects when awarding grants."
Early in their academic careers — often as freshmen or sophomores — students have experiences that they couldn't get in some Ph.D. programs, Hartsel said. "What we do here is unheard of for a mid-sized public university," he said. "Everyone is committed to working with students one-on-one from the freshman level on up."
With the NSF funds, the department will purchase sophisticated instruments that can be automated and/or run from remote locations, Hartsel said. As a result, even more students will have access to them, he said.
"If you have a $300,000 instrument, you're only going to have one," Hartsel said. "So providing access to numerous students was challenging. But with the level of sophistication of these new instruments, we can greatly expand the number of students who use them.
"And that's important because science is like music — you learn to play better by doing it. You learn to be a scientist by actively doing science."
External funding also allows faculty to hire students to work in their labs, giving students even more real-world experience, Hartsel said. In the last five years, the department has used external funds to pay students more than $350,000 to work on science projects, he said.
"We'd rather pay students to work on science than to have them working at an off-campus job that's unrelated to their careers," Hartsel said. "Here they get an experience that's like an internship. It gives them great experiences while allowing them to make ends meet."
Those kinds of experiences will make students more employable after they graduate and make them more attractive to top graduate schools, Hartsel said.
The quality of the instrumentation also creates opportunities to provide services to private businesses and industries, as well as other nearby colleges and universities, Hartsel said.
"Between Minneapolis and Madison, we'll have the most sophisticated instrumentation of any college or university," Hartsel said. "That opens a lot of possibilities for contracting with others who could benefit from what we have on campus. We're still thinking through our options but we're interested in making what we have in our department available on a regional basis."
NSF grants awarded to the chemistry department in recent weeks include:

Text messages have become an extremely important part of our life since their inception. They are definitely one of the quickest and most reliable ways of communication this world has ever witnessed. However, text messages lately have been through a massive evolution along with the mobile phone evolution and in general telecommunication metamorphosis.
They started with sending simple mobile phone message to the other mobile holder by spending some money and now there is an option to send the online messages also through websites. The biggest impact of mobile phones and text messages has been on the third world countries like Pakistan. Prior to the inception of mobile phones, telecommunication in specific and communication in general was quite dilapidated and people would struggle really hard for the communication to the other city or outside the country. And now, they can even enjoy the send free SMS to mobile in Pakistan also by using the option of online text messages.
Free and easy communication has played a humongous role in shaping up the Pakistani society. In this article, I will talk about how penetration of mobile phones and text messages is shaping up the Pakistani society along with some of the political, economical and social repercussions.
Economical repercussions:
The biggest benefit of business organizations is the easy and economical means of marketing and promotion. Marketing for business organizations would be quite expensive before the options of SMS send to mobile in Pakistan which has turned into something quite economical and relatively more effective. Marketing and promotion for the medium and small level business organizations is no more a chore since the inception of SMS marketing.
This is the reason that there is a new trend emerging in Pakistan regarding business marketing and that is shunning the mainstream mediums of marketing and adopting the new ones like SMS marketing. And now business enterprises have begun to use the option of sending online messages through websites and that enable them to send free SMS messages to mobile phones and do the promotion of their business in a very cost effective way.
Social and political repercussions:
This economical and quick communication has impacted the political and social scenario of Pakistan quite deeply. Lately, we have seen a political group using social media and mobile messages quite aptly to convey their political message to the masses.
Force is often used on the political parties of opposition in third world countries and Pakistan is no exception. When doors of state owned media platforms were closed for the opposition parties, they resorted to the social media and text messages to convey their message to the general populace. This strategy has worked for them and helped them big time to connect with masses without a huge spending.
In a nutshell, boom in the telecommunication industry has helped the society move forward and has changed the social dynamics also. Platforms like SMS111 are the giant stride towards emancipating masses and making communication an economical and convenient affair.

Off the Internet & Into the Blossoms
Amidst all the craziness of this week and my life, I turned my attention to a very tempermental and difficult plant. I own 15 orchids including three "rescues" given up for dead that I cared for and have even made bloom.
I have a few in bloom right now and am obsessed with keeping them all happy and watered. But who would have thought that one of my most mundane orchids would bloom out of sight and in secret!?
I caught a glimpse of these buds that bloomed under a cluster of greenery at the back of my first ever orchid, facing the sunlight but free from human gaze.
Not to be ridiculous and metaphorical, but what else blooms hidden from view when we are distracted and consumed with the "louder" problems going on?
I am so pleased with this orchid and with the subsequent revelatory possibilities hidden in its flowers!

Do a Google search on the term "CEO" and you'll likely get dozens of stories about male CEOs who said or did the wrong thing when it comes to women. From straight up impropriety to something as simple as a speech with a poorly placed word, the seemingly increased frequency of these issues has caused HR executives everywhere to wonder, should their CEOs be receiving training in how to handle sensitive issues?

Article that relates back to our helicopter parenting thread ...
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 03-07-2013 - 6:58pm
It's a principal's story of why she's leaving the profession - the parents. The excuse-making, helicopter parents.

I can't respond objectively this week. A friend of mine's daughter was physically assaulted in class with a teacher present and the teacher's response was to brainstorm with the friend's daughter to come up with ways for her to avoid being assaulted in the future. (caveat, friend lives in the UK, so the situations aren't really comparable).
However, I will address one thing that struck me in the letter. The teacher asks that we always believe her implicitly when she tells us a child has done something, but if the child tells us something the teacher has done, we are to call the teacher and ask for the other side of the story. Apparently, there's only two sides to a story if the teacher isn't telling it.
But again, I'm not really in a good mental place to be answering this objectively today.

A teacher friend posted this pie chart pic once on facebook.. a small % of a teacher's job is actual teaching, the rest is a combination of dealing with behavior/social needs and whiney parents... My bet is that's pretty accurate.
|Thu, 03-07-2013 - 7:43pm
DD is in her 5th year of full time teaching. She would absolutly love her job if all the had to do was teach. Dealing with parents and school administation is a different matter.
The parents that make her job hard are those at both end of the spectrum, those too involved and those not involved at all.
In her first year a mother called her everytime her DD got a grade less than an A. Why did my DD get a B? Um, because, she did B work.

NEWPORT, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Dallas Southerland started teaching agricultural studies at Cocke County High School in 2001. But last February, a teenager filed a complaint. The school system suspended Southerland without pay and deputies began investigating. They arrested him at his home in Morristown on Monday after a grand jury indicted him on one count of sexual battery by an authority figure.
"He's supposed to be a role model - not someone that's going to touch them and hurt them," said Allison Hild, who lives in Cocke County.
Paperwork shows the incident happened between May of 2012 and February 2013 with a child at least 13 years old, but younger than 18. According to the indictment, Southerland used his position of power or authority to accomplish the sexual contact.
Even though Southerland has resigned, Hild said the situation makes her worry about her nieces and nephews:
"If we can't trust our teachers, who can we trust?" said Hild.
Randy Forbes is a youth minister whose son is a freshman at the high school.
"All of us want the same thing for our children - to be protected. Anytime something like this happens,even if it's not your child, you still have a heartfelt concern for others and their welfare and their well-being," said Forbes.
He said the person who complained is brave and made the right decision.
"They need to be taught at home and as well at the school that if anything like this was ever to happen, they have someone to go to without any fear of retribution or anything like that," said Forbes.
Southerland posted his $15,000 bond on Tuesday. His next court date is March 6.

Welcome! Come on in, pull up a chair and join us for some Kitchen Table Converstaions!
In my home, the kitchen table is often the place of conversation. Everything from politics, theology, botany, daily chores, and simple moments are discussed. Some of our most precious memories have been around that table. Some of our dearest friendships grew from late night conversations around our table. It just didn't seem right to open up the virtual windows of my home, through this blog, and neglect the Kitchen Table Conversation. Therefore, I have invited a variety of individuals to join me. Some are well known, others will be new friends for sure. Many are owners of respectable and trusted companies who have graciously joined me at my virtual kitchen table. They have willingly shared their knowledge, life experience, and glimpses into their lives while sharing their passion for healthy living. If there is someone you would like to suggest for a chat around my table I would love to hear from you. Simply email me your suggestion at: covenantranchtrucking (@) gmail (dot) com
I have some other conversations that I hope to post in the near future. How to videos, climpses in my kitchen at dinner time and so forth. I encourage you to stop by often! We always love hearing from you!

Wiesz reigns at "Rich Dozier Classic"
Bob Burbach
Marysville CA - August 4, 2013
--- The "Colfax Comet" Colby Wiesz pulled off a daring front stretch pass to pick up his 2nd Rich Dozier Classic victory at Marysville Raceway Park Saturday. It was the 3-time champion's 52nd victory at MRP and he picked up some $2500 in cash and contingency awards for the effort. Marysville's Jeremy Hawes grabbed his 3rd straight checkered flag in the companion MRP Wingless Sprint Car feature. James Castleberry roared to a sweep in the MRP Super Stock program as Eddie Hammett won the MRP Hobby Stock main. Hammett also swept the program in his division.
The MRP Winged Sprint Car feature was filled with surprises, thrills and spills. Front row starter Derek Dozier of Marysville outgunned fellow front row starter Billy Wallace (the reigning MRP champion) and pulled to a big early lead.
The first of 3 red flags for flip over crashes waved shortly thereafter as Kelseyville's Brent Dothage popped into the air and over after a 3 wide dice entering turn 3 with Woodland's Peter Paulson and Marysville's Brandon Dozier. Dothage was OK but through for the night.
When the new green waved and Wallace roared into the lead as Wiesz followed into 2nd place with Oroville's Heath Hall garnering 3rd shortly thereafter. Spark's Nevada's Mike Monahan started 17th and was moving forward all race long as was fellow championship contender Jeremy Burt of Grass Valley. Burt was ripping past cars when he caught a wheel in turn 2 and flipped nose to tail in an odd looking spiral. The race was stopped as Burt was tended to. Burt walked away, but he, too was through for the night.
The next green flag segment produced one of the most intense struggles of the season as Wiesz literally camped on Wallace's tail, often pushing the champ hard up the straight-aways. Wiesz looked high and low for a way around as Wallace made his sleek #1m wider and wider in an attempt to ward off the hard-charging Wiesz. With 6 laps remaining Wiesz drove off of 4 underneath Wallace. Wallace attempted to thwart the challenge as both racers collided. Both got wheels in the air, but both remained in control as the crowd screamed its approval. They continued to bang on each other the length of the front stretch, but Wiesz was by.
Wiesz led the rest of the way, but had to hold off Wallace and Hall through one more restart as the red flag flew for Jeremy Phillips Jr. who flipped his car in turn 1 with 3 to go. When the green flag flew for the final 3 laps Hall rocketed past Wallace and was running down Wiesz when the checkered flag fell. Brandon Dozier had another fine night and got a well-deserved 4th and Yuba City's Korey Lovell went from 8th to 5th. But former champion Monahan went from 17th to 6th in the final result also overcoming a 2 position penalty earlier in the race for jumping the start. It was hard to know where to look there was so much happening on the very quick MRP clay.
Wiesz scooped up $1500 in cash for the victory with some $1100 added in Contingency Connection bonuses. Wallace was the Legal Shield Quick Time Shootout winner as lady star Reyna Krueger and high flying Peter Paulson grabbed heat race honors.
Jeremy Hawes made another stunning early race move from his 4th place starting position, bolted into the lead and was never seriously challenged after that as he won the MRP Wingless Sprint Car feature. The victory was sweeter as point leader Rowdy McClenon got to 3rd place, but could do no better after a late race pass of rookie star Johnny Burns. Hawes cut a 5 point chunk out of McClenon's championship point lead.
Cort Dozier was a spectacular 2nd as the fleet veteran tried every groove available to try to close on Hawes, to no avail. Dozier also won the heat race.
James Castleberry easily outdistanced the MRP Super Stock field after Cort Dozier (doing double duty) again had mechanical issues that sidelined his winged stock car. Point leader Ray Trimble of Auburn got 2nd as Tudor's Brad Magenheimer got 3rd in the final tally. Castleberry swept the show with an impressive heat race victory earlier.
In the MRP Hobby stock closer it was all Eddie Hammett after an early race altercation with arch rival Jeremy Hammons. Hammett got to victory lane on his anniversary. He and his wife were married on this exact date, so it was a pretty festive celebration. Hammett also won the heat race and with that, swept the program.
MRP will be dark on August 10th, but the MRP Winged Sprint Cars return with their wild 100 mph slides at the 3rd Merle Shepherd Memorial Race on August 17th. The MRP Wingless Sprint Cars, the MRP Mini Stocks and the Pro 4 sprinters will also be on the card. Stay tuned.
This one will be great. We'll see you there!
Pit Gates open at 3. Grandstands open at 5. Legal Shield Quick Time Shootout is at 6PM with races starting at 7.00PM.
Life's short. Live it. Race hard.

In the book Moneyball, Michael Lewis describes how the Oakland A's manager assembled a competitive team on a budget by ignoring expensive heavy hitters and rocket-armed pitchers. Instead, he looked at very basic things in inexpensive players like on-base percentages and ground-out rates. The Oakland A's went on to win two-thirds of their games in 2001. This approach could be instructive to policymakers considering how to set a state up for future success.
Moneyball came to mind when Marty Nason, the Chief Financial Officer of a small up-and-coming company, responded to a recent column I wrote in the Phoenix Business Journal about what Arizona policymakers could do to get the job engine cranked up. Marty's company wants to produce biodegradable plastic bottles and they were considering opening their plant and basing the company in Phoenix. But neither will be.
Facing high sales taxes on equipment, significantly high property taxes, demands that the company finance electrical infrastructure, and a lack of interest from government officials, this CFO decided to locate the production facility in Florida. States he's considering for a second facility include Texas and Nevada, but not Arizona. None of these other states has an income tax. And Texas doesn't sales tax production equipment.
As Marty said, "Phoenix appears to be looking for only 'home runs.'" That is, Phoenix and by extension Arizona, only want big companies with lots of employees and fat paychecks, bribing them to come here with tax subsidies. "They forget hitting many 'singles and doubles' is often better than 'home runs,'" he said.
He's right. And today we have the chance to elect state policymakers who will pay attention to the basics – low taxes, small government, efficient transportation, private property rights – and if we do, we could be the Oakland A's of the states.

Afro Seminarian, thanks for your kind comment. God bless you in your vocation.
Anonymous .. I try to be pastoral but it's a bit hard to see how in this very powerful teaching of Jesus. I thought it better to try to understand it before I tried to apply it pastorally. But thanks for reminding me, anyway.
Micki, thanks for the invitation. Yes, I have usually prepare through lectio divina and then write a homily from that. I still have a folder of old homilies which I sometimes drag out .. like next Sunday (20th) I will post a recycled one and a new one that I'm working on now.

"Us or God – we or him – men or revelation – opinion or truth – flesh and blood or the Father in heaven?"
And the importance of TRUTH - very true.
You wrote this homily so well Fr.
Very touching.
A good reminder how important the truth is and how it will always prevail.

Sanskritization is one of the ongoing revolutionary social processes in India. It is the process under which the religious practices of the Hindu upper castes are adopted by the members of SCs and STs in order to raise their social and cultural status in the society. By now the members of SCs and STs are aware that their cultural modes are responsible for their low status in the society. Therefore, they are ready to give them up for the sake of their improvement. Shaktipeeths and Durga temples in India are effective platforms for it. They provide an opportunity to such people to observe the upper caste religious and cultural practices closely and then to follow them for their own betterment. The scenario of Sanskritization becomes perfect during the Nava Ratras of Chaitra and Ashwin months. Obviously, it witnesses a revolutionary social change when during these specified Hindi months the people from all the castes mix up with one another and when they participate ...
