The defending champion Rochester Knighthawks (0-3) will be seeking their first win of the 2013 National Lacrosse League season when they host the Washington Stealth (3-2) at The Blue Cross Arena on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET in a rematch of their season opener. Watch the game live on the NLL on YouTube via The Lacrosse Network.
Starting with their 13-12 road loss to the Stealth in the final minutes of the opener at Comcast Arena on Jan. 5, the Knighthawks are off to their worst start since 2009, when they began the year with four straight losses. However, no one in the locker room is ready to hit the panic button just yet.
"We're 0-3, but in a couple of weeks, we could be 3-3," said Knighthawks forward Cody Jamieson. "In our dressing room, no one is hitting the panic button. It's a long season, we're three games in. There's no need to write the season off. We like our team. Why would we push the panic button when we know what we want and we like what we got?"
"We're not questioning what we have in the dressing room," said teammate Dan Dawson. "We just got to be better."
According to many of the players, chemistry, not talent, is what the Knighthawks are lacking right now. Dawson knows they cannot wait much longer to turn things around.
"We have to press the issue with a little urgency," Dawson said. "The first quarter of the season is over and to start 0-4 is not even an option. We need to get a win. We're working hard, but like [head coach Mike Hasen] said, it just comes down to execution."
To help the team come together, practice was delayed from its usual Wednesday night until Friday. On Friday, the team with go through a full practice rather than a shootaround, and on Wednesday, the team took part in some team bonding, including some games of laser tag.
"We're just trying to change the routine up a little bit," Hasen said. "We just need to take a little bit of a break and refresh our minds. We're going to come together [on Wednesday night] and do a couple of fun things as a group. Then we're going to bear down on Friday and hit each other as opposed to just shooting some balls."
Rochester was on the losing end of two one-goal heartbreakers in the first two weeks. After the opener in Everett, Wash., the Knighthawks dropped a 14-13 decision to Buffalo in the last 12 seconds. Last weekend, they lost an ugly game to Toronto, scoring only one goal in the second half.
"We've got to learn from our mistakes," Hasen said. "That's one thing we talked about as a group, we've got to take the lessons we learned in the first three games here and change our fortunes moving forward against Washington."
Rochester's defense has improved each week of the season. Against Washington in Week #1, the Stealth outshot them 64-47, forcing goaltender Matt Vinc to make 51 saves. Vinc's performance earned him the NLL's Defensive Player of the Week award in the losing effort. Since then, the defense has tightened up, limiting Buffalo to 51 shots on goal and Toronto to 43 shots.
However, the offense has taken an unexpected turn for the worse, with only seven goals scored against the Rock after averaging over 12 in each of the first two games. Rochester scored only two even strength goals against Toronto, with three coming shorthanded and two on the power play.
Dawson, a former NLL MVP, has struggled with his new team. He has eight points (1+7) in three games and was held off the scoresheet against the Rock. Dawson has just goal on 16 shots this year.
"We struggled in the second half of the game on Saturday, but we just haven't executed as well as we'd like to," Dawson said. "Obviously, we haven't buried our chances. Our shooting percentage is very low, but it's going to come. We're going to shoot our way out of this one."
"We just need to be a little bit smarter with the ball and in our shot selection and what we're doing off ball a little bit more," Hasen added.
Dawson also explained that the offense needs to do a better job in the "dirty areas" of the floor. By setting harder picks and crashing into the middle of the defense, the Knighthawks can also force the opponents into more penalties and give their defense a rest while on the power play.
Last time around, Rochester was without Casey Powell, who missed the season opener with a calf injury. Powell led the Knighthawks' offense against the Bandits with six points (2+4) the following week. He is three assists shy of 350 after surpassing the 600-point mark against Buffalo.
While the Knighthawks struggle to find their groove, this weekend the Stealth will try to match their win total from last season when they posted a league-worst 4-12 record in 2012. After missing the playoffs last year, the Stealth are atop the West Division this season.
One of the main reasons for the Stealth's turnaround is the rejuvenation of their offense, currently ranked second in the NLL with an average of 13.2 goals per game.
Forward Rhys Duch has been the Stealth's biggest contributor, as he leads the NLL with 14 goals and ranks third in the league with 27 points (14+13). Duch has registered a hat trick in four of the team's five games, including six points (3+3) against the Knighthawks in the opener.
"He's a level-headed player who has matured a ton this past year and he brings the quarterback to the [offense]," said Stealth transition player Bob Snider. "You can feel when guys are playing him that they respect him quite a bit."
Stealth forward Lewis Ratcliff, who for the most part had been kept in check by opposing teams, caught fire last weekend by scoring a hat trick in both games after scoring just three goals in his first three games.
Washington's Athan Iannucci, Cliff Smith and Dean Hill round out the top five Stealth scorers, contributing 22 of the team's 66 goals, adding offensive balance and depth that the team needs.
The Stealth also appear to have their starting goaltender, Tyler Richards, back in good health after he played all 120 minutes of their two games this past weekend. Richards was instrumental in keeping the Stealth in the game early against the Edmonton Rush last weekend.
Hall is expecting to see a different Knighthawks team than the one he saw in early January.
"The first game we played them, Casey Powell wasn't in the lineup so obviously they are going to have a little different look there," he said. "We expect that they're starting to mesh and they've had three games together with [Dawson], Casey and the other new guys in that offense."

Here, you can watch video clips of BABY SLOTHS.
There was no way I wasn't posting this.
Here, you can watch video clips of BABY SLOTHS.
There was no way I wasn't posting this.
As we Atelier students walk off into the sunset (Sophie and Carolyn will take the route through the FitzRandolph Gate--congrats!), we will leave this blog, and this class, with fond memories. The Lewis Center asked us to do a write-up of our experiences in ATL/ENV/THR 496.
This is excerpted from what Erin had to say. The emphasis is all mine:
I expected to be involved in the production as a consultant to its effectiveness, someone evaluating the art for its scientific (i.e., persuasive and environmental) merit, and in that respect my expectations were not met – though I realize now that, in some hypothetical universe in which they were met, the play would have been essentially finished at the beginning of the semester, thus (for better, worse, or neither in particular) exposing the Atelier's students to a different phase of the playwriting process. Instead, I informed the themes of conservation psychology that ran through the play itself by contributing dramaturgy and feedback on the script, in addition to throwing my environmental and ecological knowledge into the pot of various class collaborations and discussions. At the outset I somehow missed that conservation psychology was not the means to the end of the play and its effect on the viewer: it was part of the end itself, part of the play's texture meant for the audience to consciously confront and consider. When I think about theater's audience – probably consisting largely of that huge chunk of Americans who are environmentally conscious in theory, but not so much in practice – I realize this is a better approach, not just artistically, but scientifically, too. The more the artist can get the audience thinking deeply about a subject – consciously, deliberatively, as one would contemplate a theme in a piece of art – the more likely that subject is to penetrate to the core of that person, not just stick around for a few fleeting moments before wafting away. Theatergoers, generally speaking, are thoughtful people. So my expectations on this count were happily left unmet and, through learning and doing, exceeded.
From my response:
I would characterize the first few weeks of the course as my environmental boot camp: I got up to speed on what we were talking about, and I was given a few odd research assignments (getting permission to use the YouTube video of the snakehead fish that was ultimately used in the performance was definitely an early highlight of my research). When rehearsals rolled around, and I got to go into New York...I finally felt as if I had a sense of what it was I was doing, and I felt very useful doing it. Learning about the environment didn't hurt, either. It's amazing how much a twelve-week class (plus rehearsals) can get under your skin.
So there we have it. If over the next months we come across something that needs to be on this blog, we will add it. Until then: thank you.
Two links from KC:
1) "Ocean chemistry changing at 'unprecedented rate'"
2) And from the always hilarious Hark! A Vagrant.
Courtesy of KC, a retrospective on 40 years of Earth Day:
But some environmentalists who remember the first Earth Day -- and the political will that was so palpable then – say they wonder if those individual changes will be enough, considering the massive challenges facing the planet on this Earth Day.
Read more here.
My (relatively) new-found fascination with snakeheads is now shared by The New York Times.
Rachel just sent me an e-mail with a link to this article (headed by a photo of a snakehead and a guy who looks eerily like Hugh Laurie).
Key excerpt:
Sure, you could argue that we humans have abused nature far more than nature has abused us. You could also argue that these portentous nature shows are merely playing on the secret desire we all have to feel that there is still some danger, some life-or-death excitement, left in this sterilized, seat-belted, stay-on-marked-trails world.
But while you're making these arguments, a bear may be breaking into your garage, your neighbor's pet boa is probably making its way into your closet, and a flatworm could be laying eggs in your blood vessels. So sure, on Earth Day, all hail nature for its beauty and wonder. But remember that, as that volcano in Iceland reminds us, it's also violent, and hungry. Very hungry.
Blog-lag was probably bound to happen once the performances were over. Our two remaining classes will be spent in the following fashion:
1) Having a picnic.
2) Giving our final project presentations.
Said final projects are in varying stages of research at the moment. By which I mean, instead of actually working on it, I recently found myself surfing the New York Times (as per usual and my program bio) and came across this gem:
"Ten Ways to 'Go Green' and Mark Earth Day"
Some suggestions are more substantive than others. I will let you, fair blog readers, draw your own conclusions, but, at least for me, watching "Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau" won't be the only thing I do this Earth Day. Princetonians, at least, can sign up here and pledge not to waste any food tomorrow.
Here we are in the break between the two shows, during which I grab dinner, wait for the 6:00 reception, and do my blogging duty, especially in light of the recent shout-out we received during the matinee talk-back. (Hello, new readers!) Other items of note from the talk-back: Steve conducted the entire thing with the lemur (which received a longer introduction, perhaps, than the rest of the participants) in his lap, Michael explained how our class's overwhelming and sometimes contradictory statistics and notes on "average Americans' views on climate change" suggested a tango beat, and a gentleman in the audience recalled how he authored a paper on aerospace technology in the late 70s on how technology could predict the Earth's capacity, and what to do to avoid overusing our resources. No one cared to implement his suggestions, he said, and he saw some of the same frustration in some characters in the play.
Audience members seemed curious to learn what happens next. So are we all, I believe. I can only answer for the next four hours: reception, 7:30 show, and then...who knows?
Carolyn's Big Brother vibe here is not very indicative of her role in the show, but I still think it's pretty darn cool.
Michael (who we are now calling Schubert to avoid confusion) and Andrea have discovered the magic of charismatic not-so-megafauna.
In other news, lights and projections have been added to the majority of Act I. The camera-trap picture of the jaguar gives me the chills, especially projected and on a large screen above the stage. Not all megafauna are as cuddly as the lemur.
Today I will be liveblogging rehearsal for The Great Immensity. As the student dramaturg (and as someone who decided halfway through that going paper-free and reading the script on her laptop was the way to go), I may frequently be found in some corner or another, connected to (or eyeing up) a power source, and typing away. So, at least for today, all suspicions may be allayed. Here you have the result of said typing. I was not, in fact, working on my magnum opus (tentative title: The World's Largest Indoor Buddha). I was, instead, lovingly recording every hilarious moment, trial, tribulation, or lemur-sighting.
So here we go.
No, rehearsal has not yet started. Yes, I am still in my pajamas, awaiting Princeton's brunch hours. Why these excruciatingly private details? Texture, baby, texture.
Anyway, my mother has my back, apparently. I woke up this morning to find a link to a Paul Krugman New York Times article entitled Building a Green Economy sitting in my inbox. The first paragraph could easily have come out of this play.
If you listen to climate scientists — and despite the relentless campaign to discredit their work, you should — it is long past time to do something about emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. If we continue with business as usual, they say, we are facing a rise in global temperatures that will be little short of apocalyptic. And to avoid that apocalypse, we have to wean our economy from the use of fossil fuels, coal above all.
The article goes on for ten pages. I'll probably read it paragraph by paragraph throughout the day. For now: clothes!
Lemur sightings: holding steady at 1 (sitting on the corner of a table)
Student assistant director Sophie and I have already watched Monty Python's Semaphore Wuthering Heights.
Music director Andrea is actually accomplishing something, running through "Sloth With A Moth" with Dan (aka Marcos, Charlie, Boni). I know nothing about music, and am very impressed as a result.
Steve seizes the lemur. It's go time.
(For the benefit of tomorrow's class, I am happy to report that the hats are gone from the bulletin board inside the Berlind rehearsal room.)
Sophie loves blueberries (she has stolen several from the dining hall). She wants that on record.
Act II blocking continues, with songs included. (Striptease optional.)
First ten minute break of the day--people rush out the door to the WaWa. I'm not feeling New Jersey enough at the moment.
And we're back. During the break, Steve introduced Sophie and I, as well as Emily (who plays Allie and Chantal) and Catherine (Stage Manager), to Autotune the News. The Katie Couric segment is surprisingly relevant!
Also, the lemur has returned to the table corner, and is gazing balefully in Catherine's direction. More updates as they occur.
I've been working on making script changes and pasting in the song lyrics, but I took a break with Paul Krugman:
This is an article on climate economics, not climate science. But before we get to the economics, it's worth establishing three things about the state of the scientific debate.
The first is that the planet is indeed warming. Weather fluctuates, and as a consequence it's easy enough to point to an unusually warm year in the recent past, note that it's cooler now and claim, "See, the planet is getting cooler, not warmer!" But if you look at the evidence the right way — taking averages over periods long enough to smooth out the fluctuations — the upward trend is unmistakable: each successive decade since the 1970s has been warmer than the one before.
Second, climate models predicted this well in advance, even getting the magnitude of the temperature rise roughly right. While it's relatively easy to cook up an analysis that matches known data, it is much harder to create a model that accurately forecasts the future. So the fact that climate modelers more than 20 years ago successfully predicted the subsequent global warming gives them enormous credibility. [...]
And this brings me to my third point: models based on this research indicate that if we continue adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere as we have, we will eventually face drastic changes in the climate. Let's be clear. We're not talking about a few more hot days in the summer and a bit less snow in the winter; we're talking about massively disruptive events, like the transformation of the Southwestern United States into a permanent dust bowl over the next few decades.
Unrelatedly, I now think, thanks to a brief exchange between Steve, Catherine, and Sophie, that the next Triangle Show should be about Mounties. Possibly Mounties dressed in gold lamé. Andrea, take note. A sexy Mountie kick-line has just been placed on my bucket list.
For a moment, the lemur was on Steve's head. Things have improved since then, and we're making serious progress on blocking the very last (!) scene.
...and then we had a Real Housewives of New Jersey moment. But not even physical comedy/inside joke interludes can phase this cast.
Trey (Ship Spotter, Rob, Dr. Medvedkov, Emmett) is working with Michael, Andrea, and the musicians (there's a cello!) on the last song, "The Next Forever." I think I have a new favorite song. And I also think that if anyone in the audience leaves this play smiling they have no heart.
Lunch time!
We're back. Right off the bat, I was asked to proofread my bio for the program. It wasn't as dumb as I remember it being.
The run-through for the designers is about to begin.
Carolyn is still working on her thesis in her spare moments.
The lemur is lying in wait.
As "There But Not There" drew to a close, the lights lowered themselves.
But then it disappears from view way out there in the deep.
It's there but then it isn't there.
It's there but then it isn't there.
It's there but then it isn't there.
In the five minute break between Act I and Act II, designers make notes, and actors ask questions about the songs to come. Andrea takes a break from her piano-playing to surf the internet. As do...I...
While we wait to be officially back, an excerpt from the second to last page of the Paul Krugman piece:
Finally and most important is the matter of uncertainty. We're uncertain about the magnitude of climate change, which is inevitable, because we're talking about reaching levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere not seen in millions of years. The recent doubling of many modelers' predictions for 2100 is itself an illustration of the scope of that uncertainty; who knows what revisions may occur in the years ahead.
Anyone involved with this play, or any creative endeavor, knows that revision is important. So maybe we have the advantage there.
Damn. This show is depressing. (In the best possible way.)
I'm rounding out my evening by being serenaded. The production team ran off to a production meeting, leaving me with the cast and Michael, who are singing in my direction. It's not all fun and games--I'm making notes of changed lyrics--but at this moment the life of a dramaturg is particularly sweet.
The Great Immensity just became a puppet show, with the lemur dancing along to "Martha the Last Pigeon."
Wrapping things up...until Tuesday. (Except for our class tomorrow.) It's been fun serving as your host this morning/afternoon/evening.

PHOENIX – As Arizona's chief elections officer, Secretary of State Ken Bennett today announced another indictment of voter fraud. Last Friday, March 4th, 2011 Peter Canova and Gina Thi Canova of Scottsdale were charged with 15 counts of voter fraud including false registrations, illegal voting and filing false instruments. The violations are class 5 and class 6 felonies and each count is punishable by up to 2.5 years in prison.
"Aggressively pursing voter fraud sends the message that Arizona will not tolerate those seeking to illegally influence our elections," said Secretary Bennett. "Through a cross-state program, we are able to find instances of people voting in different states in the same election. While the program was originally intended to purge voter rolls of inaccurate data, it has also given us another tool to combat voter fraud."
According to court documents, Peter and Gina Canova both face charges of voting more than once in a single election by casting their ballots in the November 4, 2008 General Election in Maricopa County, Arizona and Douglas County, Nevada.
Under the direction of Secretary Bennett, Arizona has joined with more than a dozen other states to exchange voter registration and voter history information with election officials. This program was designed to help keep voter rolls accurate and up-to-date.
Last year, this same program led to the conviction of a voter from Green Valley who voted both in Arizona and Kansas.
"When we find the rare instance of voter fraud, rest assured we are vigorously prosecuting the offenders to the fullest extent of the law," continued Bennett. "Ensuring that our elections are fair and accurate requires that we remain vigilant and take advantage of the tools available that help us root out schemes that undermine our electoral process. The issues facing Arizona's voters are far too important to be casual with our efforts to secure the ballot box."

I'm having arthroscopic surgery this Monday on my right shoulder due to a torn labrum from baseball. I've read a few websites, ranging from medical to nutritional, that suggest such supplements as BCAAs, Glucosamine, and Fish Oil to help in the recovery process. I'll be in a sling for a month and a half and start rehab in mid to late September. Does anyone have any knowledge of how these supplements may help or any other supplements to look into? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

After a wonderful weekend of unexpected plumbing issues that included cutting holes in my tub/shower surround, I find myself needing to replace the entire surround. Does anyone know of any alternatives for materials that can be used besides tile and solid surface? I'm not a fan of grout and solid surface just seems so blah. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I need to fill in about 75 square feet with something..
There's also plastic / vinyl / fiberglass surround kits, but they are a downgrade from tile or solid surface.
There are thousands of solid surface colors and patterns, more than enough to keep from being 'blah'. That would be my first recommendation. You could also go with a natural solid surface like quartz, granite or marble. Just get ready to spend some serious money.
Look up in the yellow pages for Cultured Marble, and Corian countertop surfaces. They do tub surrounds, and like Jaybee said, have lots of choices. Go visit their showrooms to see samples.
Or large tile with 1/16 inch grout lines.
They make it look so easy on tv, don't they
Maybe this....
Thank you! I found a place locally that specializes in surrounds, so I'll be paying them a visit this weekend. I never thought about the marble and granite. I would have thought those would be too porous for a shower. They are a little out of my price range though, but it's something to check into.
Thanks a bunch for your input!

Olympic ring failure in opening ceremony adds to Sochi snafus

SOCHI, Russia — The opening ceremony for the Sochi Games hit a bump when only four of the five Olympic Rings materialized in a wintry opening scene.
Five large, glowing snowflakes emerged from a whimsical opening meant to depict the four seasons. They floated to the top of Fisht arena and, one by one, started to morph into the rings. But only four joined together while the fifth remained a snowflake, apparently stuck behind the rest of them.
The five were supposed to join together and erupt in pyrotechnics to get the party started. Instead, they were eventually darkened and moved out of the arena, just as Russian President Vladimir Putin was introduced.
The unveiling of the rings is always one of the most iconic moments of an opening ceremony, and Putin has been determined to use the ceremony as an introduction of the new Russia to the world.
The broken snowflake isn't the first opening ceremony blunder in Olympic history, of course. Vancouver, Sydney and Seoul all had issues with the torch lighting.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - A water ban is entering its third day in northwest Ohio after tests show some toxins still contaminating Lake Erie.
Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins says tests done by state and federal authorities indicate a positive trend, but additional testing is necessary.
The city council is to review the test results at its regularly-scheduled meeting on Monday.
Ohio's fourth-largest city warned residents not to use city water early Saturday. Tests at one treatment plant showed readings for microcystin above the standard for consumption, most likely from algae on the lake.
Residents told not to drink, brush their teeth or wash dishes with the water descended on truckloads of bottled water delivered from across the state on Sunday. The Ohio National Guard is using water purification systems to produce drinkable water.

After the 2008 elections, a more progressive U.S. administration presented a unique opportunity to revive and strengthen U.S. leadership on global health in general, and on maternal and reproductive health in particular. FCI is working with partners to inform and influence U.S. foreign assistance and global health policies, and to promote more progressive U.S. leadership on maternal and reproductive health and family planning.
The Global Health Initiative
U.S. leadership on global health — in both word and deed — is urgently important. The Obama adminstration's development of more progressive policies, and its announcement of the Global Health Initiative (GHI), present a unique opportunity to revive and strengthen U.S. leadership on maternal and reproductive health and family planning. The GHI, announced in May 2009, is a six-year effort addressing a range of interrelated health crises faced by the developing world. It aims to build and strengthen health systems, and to achieve significant improvements in health outcomes, with a particular focus on women, newborns, and children. If successful, it has the potential to transform the way the U.S. government designs and implements policies and programs to save lives, build economies, and strengthen human security, and will guide U.S. policy on global health issues for years to come.
FCI and our advocacy colleagues are working together to articulate the need for a comprehensive, holistic approach to sexual and reproductive health and rights, and for substantially increased funding for reproductive and maternal health.
FCI's niche
FCI brings our global perspective and connections to bear on the U.S. advocacy scene. We collaborate closely with HIV/AIDS, maternal and reproductive health, tuberculosis, malaria, human rights, and other global health advocacy groups to press for increased U.S. leadership on maternal and reproductive health. FCI participates in consultations and staff briefings to raise awareness in Congress and the Executive Branch and to intensify pressure on U.S. policy makers to increase investment in maternal and reproductive health. FCI provides a strong advocacy voice, reflecting our independence; our global connections to donors, UN agencies, and a broad range of civil society advocacy groups; and our leadership role in a range of international partnerships.
The Global Health Initiative Coalition
The GHI's success depends on the Administration setting bold and specific targets, developing strategic and effective policies, and delivering an annual budget robust enough to fully fund programmatic goals. It remains to be seen whether the GHI will drive real, concrete progress — especially amidst a global economic downturn and a divided Congress. The Global Health Initiative Coalition was established in 2009 as a strong, united civil society voice to maintain pressure on the Obama Administration and on Congress. The GHI Coalition represents the first time that such a broad alliance of U.S. based, health-focused civil society groups -- representing advocates for maternal, newborn and child health, AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, sexual and reproductive health and rights, the health workforce, neglected tropical diseases, health and human rights, water and sanitation, and comprehensive primary healthcare -- has spoken with one voice, calling on the U.S. to take an ambitious, comprehensive approach to global health policy and funding and to ensure civil society involvement and country ownership in the GHI process.
Individual GHI Coalition members contribute crucial sector-specific expertise; together, our coordinated, integrated advocacy approach articulates strong, unified messages and and represents a critical voice for accountability. During government consultations on the development of the GHI, a key State Department official congratulated the Coalition for its groundbreaking effort in bringing different sectors of the advocacy community together for a common policy objective.
FCI was a key player in the creation and development of the GHI Coalition, and currently coordinates its activities in the role of Global Health Initiative Coalition Secretariat.

-Francis Beckwith says that the administration doesn't think of Bishop D'Arcy as a bishop. From these comments he quotes, it seems he is correct.
These seem strange to me. First, from the South Bend Tribune:Then Beckwith quotes more:"Bishop D'Arcy is a longtime friend and supporter of Notre Dame. We spoke to him in advance of the announcement on the president coming here. We're sorry that he won't be able to attend," Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown said.
Actually, Bishop D'Arcy is the shepherd assigned to the Catholic diocese in which Notre Dame resides. He is not merely a "longtime friend and supporter of Notre Dame." Now that's an appropriate title to bestow on members of the DeBartolo family, who have generously donated millions of dollars to the university. But when Notre Dame employs such language to describe the bishop in whose diocese it resides, it diminishes the bishop's stature in relation to the university and its community. Notice also the careful language on Mr. Brown's part: "we spoke to him in advance of the announcement...." Mr. Brown did not say, "We spoke to him before the invitation was issued in order ask for his blessing." Mr. Brown did not say that because that is not what happened. To put it bluntly, Notre Dame chose not to treat its bishop like a bishop. It chose to treat him like a "longtime friend and supporter of Notre Dame," the sort of character that has no real authority or influence over the direction of the institution including the health and well-being of its theological and philosophical infrastructure.
Second, another quote from Mr. Brown:-Another good commentary came from William McGurn at the Wall Street Journal. Here is a snip:Asked about the volume of complaints to the university, Brown said it was "nothing beyond what we anticipated."
It would have been much better for Mr. Brown to have admitted that the university was surprised at the controversy. For it seems almost cruel for Notre Dame to now admit that it anticipated the outcry. First, by admitting this, it is confessing that it intentionally invited a graduation commencement speaker that the university knew (according to Mr. Brown) would result in disturbing the consciences of many graduates, their families, and alumni who are now unsure about whether they should attend the ceremony. (See, for example, Stephen Barr''s First Things essay) Second, by admitting this, combined with its decision to not consult its bishop prior to inviting President Obama, it means that Notre Dame likely knew that its invitation would require that its bishop not attend the ceremony in his final year in office. Thus, the university intentionally put Bishop D'Arcy in a position where he would have to recuse himself from a ceremony in which he would receive the sort of farewell and congratulations that a man of his accomplishments should receive at the commencement exercises of America's premier Catholic university that resides in his diocese.
"We hope for this to be the basis of an engagement with him." So explains Notre Dame's president, the Rev. John Jenkins, as he discusses the university's choice of Barack Obama as this year's commencement speaker. In yesterday's student newspaper "The Observer," where the quotation appears, the thought is introduced with another helpful bromide: The honor accorded President Obama, it is reported, will be a "catalyst for dialogue."
Now, if the president were going to Notre Dame to engage in dialogue, that would be one thing. But Mr. Obama will not be going to Notre Dame to "dialogue." He will be going to help advance his agenda.
At the center of that agenda is abortion. Leave aside his enthusiasm for the Freedom of Choice Act, or the way he misrepresented his role in killing an Illinois state ban on partial-birth abortion. Already as president, Mr. Obama has ended restrictions that prevented taxpayer dollars from funding abortions overseas; opened a path for using taxpayer dollars to encourage the destruction of embryos for research; and taken aim at a "conscience clause" designed to protect doctors, nurses and others from being forced to participate in procedures (including abortion) that violate their consciences.
-Several ND student organizations have put up a website as a protest to the speech.

BlackBerry 10 interface gesture guide
If we had to compared the new operating system to an exysting one, it would be Palm and later HP's webOS. The reason for that is the deep integration of all sorts of gestures, some straight from the bezel. And hopefully, while Palm and HP obviously lacked the software polish and hardware, RIM will be able to deliver it in a finished and perfectly smooth execution.
We are particularly excited by a ton of gestures supported by the BlackBerry 10 system, that should make navigating BB10 devices a breeze. Check out the slideshow below where we walk you through all of the gestures.

these actually seem really convenient! caint wait to see more of their UI and OS......if this comes together well then it will be a strong competitor in the game because they already have the spec sheet down all they need to do is capitalize on is their UI and other things like apps and app store
All in all good job Rim and keep it up :)

do people will remember all those gestures? i dont think so....RIM please make something that make us say "WOW" in bb 10 otherwise it won't succeed
blackberry messenger service outages again in asia pacific, lol, it shows stupidity of RIM (RIP)
i think pikapowerize will come

I agree with you. I went to shop last time to have a look at their playbook and I did not know at all how to operate it.
besides, keyboard on Android comes out automatically just right at the times it is needed, so why to switch to manual where I have to bring it up everytime with 2 fingers?

i think blackberry users aren't accustomed to virtual keyboard,
10. downphoenix (Posts: 2416; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
It takes a bit of getting used to. The tablet tells you about the gestures during setup. That said, it works brilliantly. For the most part it works the same as it does on the Playbook, except it seems they've added more gestures, and the keyboard moton used to be swipe from lower left or right corner towards center. Bringing the keyboard up say in the browser will automatically allow you to type in a new address, and it has some other uses. I also like the swiping on the sides to switch apps, its pretty handy. Also it seems to be more multitasking friendly, as say if you swipe down to up or to another app sideways, say if you're playing a game, it will automatically pause. With Android, the home button is used to minimize an app and back is used to close it, but you often have to hit back several times in some apps to actually be able to close it as back is also used to go back a screen in the same app. Closing apps and switching between them is infinitely more intuitive than Android, without sacrificing powerful multitasking like ios does.

This looks interesting. Show me what you got Blackberry. You guys really, need to pull out all the stops on this one. Don't sacrifice on the specs.

but thats not left to right... its swipe up to unlock! its very good and i fresh looking while unlocking the devices.. its not like WPs style to unlock but different and unique!

Hello there "almost" identical Swipe UI from nokia. :D
13. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
swipe UI was a genius and the most elegant UI ever! but actually the UI od BB10 isnt competely the same with N9's...
it follows the flow and gestures of your hand...

guys you remember that lawsuit where the lawyer showed a blackberry device to prove things could be "different" I want to see his face when he sees that black rectangle over there
11. martinikatz (Posts: 6; Member since: 05 May 2012)
Contrary to another's post, these gestures don't seem difficult to remember. Nobody's trying to remember them from just having seen them. On using them (and they aren't difficult to use), they'll become second nature, just as with any phone, keyboard, or riding a bicycle. Apart from that, they look convenient and they seem to cover most necessary functions. It looks like RIM and Blackberry are on their way to being competitive again. Way to go, RIM!

It's good to find another "career shape shifter" as you call it (perfect, by the way). I've always felt fine in this path, but parents and friends have told me my entire adult life that I needed to pick one direction and move towards the top of that ladder. Turns out, this is not my cup 'o tea. Thank you for this story.

Hokule'a, Hikianalia return to O'ahu
After sailing to each of the eight major Hawaiian islands, the voyaging canoes Hokule'a and Hikianalia recently returned to O'ahu.
Their first stop was at Makua Valley, an appropriate place for these symbols of healing to visit and bring the message of Malama Honua.
The purpose of this statewide leg is to engage community members of all ages in the wa'a experience, contributing to the Worldwide Voyage by adding their own mana to these canoes.
To top it all off, crew members got some water safety training from Makaha's own Brian Keaulana.
Hokule'a will be touring all across O'ahu in upcoming weeks. Find out your best time for a visit at hokulea.org.

Zamorano Biodiversity Center:
Zamorano – a leader in conservation of the region's natural resources and species
Central America is one of the areas with the greatest biodiversity in the world. During recent centuries this biodiversity has been seriously affected by human activities and the expansion of the agricultural frontier. This has been caused by five main causes: habitat destruction, fragmentation, pollution, over exploitation of species and the introduction of exotic species.
In order to monitor and evaluate the biodiversity in Central America, as well as to promote regional initiatives targeted at protecting ecosystems and species, in 2005 Zamorano created the Biodiversity Center, which has become a regional leader in the field of biodiversity.
The Biodiversity Center houses the Regional Biodiversity Institute (IRBIO, Spanish acronym), which was founded by the countries of the Central American Isthmus and represents for Zamorano an important and motivating challenge to promote research, education, conservation and the sustainable use of biodiversity in the region.
Biodiversity Center: a leader in promoting species conservation
In the area of research the Biodiversity Center has supported scientific expeditions led by researchers from renowned universities in the fields of ornithology, herpetofauna, entomology, ictiofauna, connectivity structures of coral, monitoring of jaguars and genetic studies of crocodiles.
In recent years the Biodiversity Center has also carried out noteworthy activities, such as a Global Mammal Assessment for Central America and the Caribbean. It was also the venue for the Mesoamerican Amphibian Congress and held two workshops on models of the impact of human activity and climate change on regional biodiversity and protected areas. It also carried out a mapping of jaguar movements in Honduras and the discovery of new species like the blind serpent. The Center also formed part of a team that discovered a second population of the Honduran Emerald Humming Bird (Amazilia luciae) in the department of Santa Barbara. This humming bird is unique to Honduras and the species is threatened with extinction.
More recently the Biodiversity Center concluded a project of Monitoring the Fonseca Gulf, which involved an evaluation of the fishing resources in the gulf, which is shared by Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua. This project was carried out jointly with the Utila Center for Marine Ecology and financed by the Central American Commission on the Environment and Development (CCAD, Spanish acronym) and by the National Parks of Spain.

Affordable Luxury Pet friendly vacation home
with Private Swimming pool 4 miles to Disney World
Are you looking for a great place to vacation but you cant bear to leave your best friend jailed at a kennel or stuck at home without his family? You can all come and stay with us in our Spectacular Pool Home in Kissimmee, Florida.
Our home has a private, fenced yard and is just 5 minutes from Disney and all the other area attractions.
We are able to accept up to 4 small to medium sized dogs.
House at Disney Dog Rules
We have some restrictions regarding dogs (for most dog owners these are the norm for them!) However, failure to comply will result in additional charges. Please always clean up after your dog in the yard (minimum $50.00 charge for mess left in yard) and anywhere you take them around the subdivision. Kissimmee is a leash law area; all dogs must be on a leash at all times. Please remember to obtain a health certificate, with record of vaccinations, especially rabies, from your vet dated within 10 days of your departure. Please crate your dog in the house when you go out for the day and/or part of the day. Please do not let your dog(s) on the furniture (including beds) without putting your own cover/blanket on first. Please do not bath your dog in the house. Please do not let your dog in the pool area or swim in the pool, oil from the coat clings to the wall and is very hard to remove, not to mention blocking the filter! ! It is also very bad for the dogs skin! Please do not groom your dog by the pool, the hair causes the same problems listed above. Please do not use house bowls or china to feed or give water to your dog. Do not barricade the gates to the yard, as the pool and lawn care companies must have access. Please do not let your dog(s) damage the pool screen. Pet owners are not permitted to enter, walk or exercise their dogs within the recreation park or pool/deck.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept any pit bulls, rottweilers, staffordshire terriers or similar mixes because of the Florida insurance policies.
We appreciate your cooperation so we can continue to welcome dogs to our home.

Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
There is a lot to love about this foundation including the in-part titanium dioxide sunscreen. Armani has created a rich yet not heavy-feeling cream foundation with a superb blend of ingredients to replenish dry skin while leaving a soft glow. In fact, it is one of the creamiest yet lightweight foundations for dry to very dry skin you're likely to find. Its emollient texture feels decadently silky and blends very well, though it takes time to set to a soft satin finish. Dry skin is left with a radiant glow, while coverage stays in the medium range.
Note:Although this foundation provides broad-spectrum sun protection on its own, you must apply it liberally and evenly to get the stated level of protection. A sheer or spot application will not provide the amount of sun protection the label indicates. If you're not likely to apply this foundation liberally, we recommend applying it over a moisturizer with sunscreen rated SPF 15 or greater and setting your foundation with a pressed powder rated SPF 15 or greater.
Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani is credited with giving tailored elegance, power, and sex appeal to standbys like men's suits, and turning Hollywood's A-list stars into fashion icons as they parade through countless award ceremonies adorned in his simple yet elegant creations. According to Armani, "Elegance doesn't mean being noticed, it means being remembered." That statement has been parlayed into the designer's makeup collection, where the products are replete with the textures, colors, and flawless application that assure your natural beauty will be memorable rather than masked.
Because Armani has always been passionate about textures, it's no surprise that his makeup (which is the main reason to check out this line) presents an impressive collection that features some of the smoothest, lightest textures you're likely to find. From foundations to powders, eyeshadows, and mascaras—even pencils—the makeup selection includes some truly stellar products. According to the brochure for Armani's makeup, the supreme textures and silky application are the result of Micro-fil technology. This supposedly allows for a precise blending and layering of select ingredients, offering a heightened sense of color that fits like a second skin.
Regardless of how that technology is labeled, almost all of the makeup contains standard silicone polymers along with ordinary ingredients like nylon-12. Of course, many cosmetics companies have their equivalent version of Micro-fil, but Armani seems to have taken it one step further, though not always toward desired results. For example, the eyeshadows, while very smooth and easy to blend, aren't much for intensity, a point the counter personnel made clear.
There are a few other instances where the pricey products aren't all they're made out to be, but this is the world of cosmetics, and although the fantasy is for every product to be perfect, that's hardly ever the reality. Still, there are many compelling reasons to explore this collection. Although not fully distributed across the United States, it has a presence in most major cities and the products may be purchased on Armani's Web site. Makeup is where it's at for Giorgio Armani's cosmetics line. The skin care was a blatant, exceedingly overpriced afterthought and is not worth considering.

I have used this foundation for years and love it. I am 60 and receive compliments on my skin often. I could not live with out it! Fantastic coverage, matches my skin tone perfectly as I have pink undertones. When you love a product, it is a good value.
This product is highly fragranced with synthetic fragrance.
I am 49 with dry skin. I was excited about this foundation and the promise of a soft satin finish. After wearing it paired with the Armani Light Master Primer, my skin looked so shiny that I had to reapply powder numerous times throughout the day. The tan color matched my skin tone, but my face had a weird, unnatural appearance. I tried to convince myself that it was working for me by pairing it with different primers and powders. but I ended up sending it back.
Yes it is expensive but it really delivers. I am the sort of person who constantly has to check that foundation is still on my face 2 hours after being applied, but also that it has not changed color on my skin. This stuff stays true. And when I dust my shiny nose with the NARS illumination white powder (that transfers no color) its great all day. Will repurchase.
This foundation sadly didn't work for me. I have dry skin with eczema and it just sat on top of my skin looking very unnatural. Be aware that the colour oxidises during wear time, but the SPF 20 means that you look very white on pictures at night. The product is also highly scented. I have no wrinkles but brought this to cover up a bit of redness and uneven skin tone. Maybe it could work if you don't have very dry skin and you like high coverage foundation in the daytime.
I am 55 almost 56. I wore this foundation to a family breakfast the next morning after I purchased the product. I have never had anyone say that my skin looked pretty. This morning they said that my skin looked wonderful and that I looked beautiful. I am not joking. I didn't say anything because it was kind of embarassing. I have to say that I wanted to purchase Giorgio Armani since I heard that the Downton Abbey actresses wore it since that is the only product that they could really wear.

One of my favorite songs - "Dare You to Move"
Snippet of the lyrics:
The tension is hereAnd
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
Maybe redemption has stories to tellI love songs about conversion.
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

Faculty Work Climate Survey
The campus conducted a study of the working environment for tenured and tenure-track faculty in the Colleges of Engineering and Liberal Arts and Sciences in 2004. The survey was designed to capture the perceptions of the faculty members regarding their workplace: what they like, what they dislike, what is important in their daily life, and what enhances or impedes productivity. The goal was to inform us how to improve job satisfaction and faculty success at UIC. Faculty members in the two colleges responded with a resounding rate of 67%, and we are appreciative of this. Due to the collaborative effort of UIC faculty, staff, and students from a number of units on the campus, specifically the Center for Research on Women and Gender, the report is now available for dissemination. The Provost will be charging a task force of senior campus leadership to develop a blueprint for policy and program recommendations based on the findings of the survey.
The links for the report are as follows:
