I guess I feel so lucky right now...I mean fortunate. I have just about all a person could want or need! I loved reading the responses so many of you gave to last month's column. The support I received from so many of you moved me more than you could know! It seems the issue of a single, gay man adopting a child is something many of us have had to think about. Many of you wrote just to give a few words of support, some even asked where THEY could find more information. Regardless, I am very appreciative of the response I received from you. Thank you. It was nice to find that so many people read my column. I guess I have something to add to this forum after all!
I have been a bit disappointed by people who used to read and respond to my column. People I thought of as friends who no longer respond. Where are you guys? I hope to hear from you again soon!
It's been almost two months since I met Adam. It's been fantastic! We talk online every night. If, for some reason, one of us can't meet...I feel like I am going through some type of withdrawal. We built a relationship on the foundation of friendship. (The best way to begin!) I feel so fortunate to have met him. We've spoken quite a bit about how fate played a part in our meeting. It's so easy to ask those "what if" questions...but you know what? If you believe in fate and destiny...you have to think that everything that will ever happen to you will happen regardless of the "what ifs." I was fated to meet this wonderful person. (and he me!) Whether you believe in fate/destiny or not...I just have to tell you that I am very happy now. Happier than I have been in a long time! So...Adam, if you are reading this...and I know you are...I just wanted to say thanks. I love you.
Uh...what else?....Work is the same. Seven hours of trying to make due with no classroom supplies, broken radiators and parents who think I am overpaid. (ha ha) I love my job. I really do. And despite the jokes I make about quitting and getting a job at Dairy Queen, I love going to work each day. I think the greatest contribution I make to the future is that I work very hard to create a generation of open minded and caring people. Kids seem to be more accepting of differences than they used to be. I am seeing it more and more each day. There may be hope after all!
I hope this column finds you all happy and healthy. Please write back if you get a chance. I have turned into an email junkie, so you can be assured of a response.
Final note: I feel like I am accepting an academy award...but I'd like to thank Adam (of course) for "being there" all the time. Michelle for tolerating my chemical imbalances. And Tim...(my "namesake")... it's nice to know I am not the only one in the Midwest who is gay! ha ha!

Mount Dora, FL: Food-truck craze to continue in 2013 in Mount Dora, Clermont and Leesburg
By Ludmilla Lelis | Orlando Sentinel
MOUNT DORA — The city will resume the popular downtown Food Truck Bazaar in the new year, starting with the first one scheduled on Jan. 17.
The Mount Dora Area Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the monthly events, planned for every third Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Alexander Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues.
Food caravans have been extremely popular at several Central Florida locations and Mount Dora officials did a test run of four such events. Fans like the unique variety of foods available, from ethnic fusion to specialty desserts.
In Lake County, Clermont and Leesburg also will resume their food-truck events for the new year. Clermont's first event is set for 5:30 to 9 p.m. Friday, while the next Leesburg event is scheduled for 5:30 to 9 p.m. Jan. 12 at Towne Square.
For Mount Dora, up to 1,500 attended each event, bringing people who also visited downtown shops and restaurants, organizers said.
Local businesses agreed to continue the events and the chamber will buy about 10 barricades to be used to keep traffic and make it a pedestrian-only zone during the event, according to Cathy Hoechst, chamber president. The chamber also will pay for other costs related to city employees needed for traffic control, public safety and parks and recreation.
At a recent city meeting, Councilman Ed Rowlett questioned why pets are being allowed at the events, when they are normally barred at the city's larger tourist draws like the Mount Dora Art Festival. Organizers had asked for permission to have dogs at the last event.
The presence of pets didn't cause any problems among visitors during the previous event, police Chief Randy Scoggins told council members.
Council members approved the event schedule without any further changes.
Events are scheduled for: Jan. 17, Feb. 21, March 21, April 18, May 16, June 20, July 18, Aug. 15, Sept. 19, Oct. 17, Nov. 21 and Dec. 19.

Veteran TV news anchor Dan Rather has left CBS News after 44 years with the network. But the 74-year-old is very unhappy and issued a statement that did not disguise his disappointment. He said: "My departure before the term of my contract represents CBS's final acknowledgement, after a protracted struggle, that they had not lived up to their obligation to allow me to do substantive work there. As for their offers of a future with only an office but no assignments, it just isn't in me to sit around doing nothing. So I will do the work I love elsewhere." Rather's reputation was tarnished in 2004 by a discredited report on President Bush's record in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War. (Via boston.com)

@Terrificli -- you are not giving clients enough credit. They may miss some small violations of the code of ethics, but they know if they have been ripped off. The problem is finding the resources to file a complaint against the misbehaving attorney, so educating the general public about how to do that might be a good idea.
By the way, judges are often the ones that turn lawyers in who have broken the code of ethics. Quite often, they feel an obligation to protect the rights of people who are in their courts and will call an unethical lawyer to the carpet in a heartbeat.

Lewisburg to use worm to predict winter
LEWISBURG – The Woolly Worm Festival returns to Lewisburg this weekend. While there are many fun activities at this festival, the main event is the winter weather prediction. Mayor Judy Wagner said, "This is Lewisburg's answer to Punxsutawney Phil. We have a Woolly Worm judging contest."
"We will study them and take measurements. Then we will predict whether or not we are going to have a mild winter or a cold winter, and if we are going to have a lot of snow or not a lot of snow." This year's Master of Ceremonies will be WNEP's Jim Hamill.
Along with the highly anticipated winter weather prediction, guests can also look forward to a performance from the Lewisburg High School Marching Band, a children's musician, a magician, a balloon artist, a puppet show, a moon bounce, a petting zoo, pony rides, and even worm races where kids can bring their own woolly caterpillars to see whose is fastest.
The 16th annual Woolly Worm Festival is this Saturday from9:30 a.m. to4 p.m. at Lewisburg'sHufnaglePark, and all proceeds benefit local children's charities. More details are posted at www.woolywormfestival.com.

Text taken from: Bristol and District anti-cuts alliance
As expected, the LibDems and Tories combined to pass Bristol City Council's cuts budget on Tuesday 28th February. £27million will be slashed from the council's spending from April. Youth services, community groups, care for the elderly and vulnerable will all be seriously effected. Over 350 jobs will go from the council workforce. Some Labour amendments to the budget were accepted – minor adjustments to harsh cuts. But it was obvious to those in the public gallery that Labour didn't have any clear alternative to the LibDem/Tory cuts strategy. In the meeting, Barbara Janke said, "I can't know the impact of all the cuts in the budget." Unfortunately the people of Bristol who use and rely on the services that are to be cut will soon discover the impact. BADACA will be working with those people over the coming months as the cuts bite to ensure that Barbara Janke and her fellow councillors get the message that these are real cuts hitting real people – not just numbers on a piece of paper.
see this excellent article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/apr/02/fight-for-the-nhs
Join us for a rally in the centre of Bristol, at the fountains 13:00! The rally is expected to be mobile, so bring your whistles, loudspeakers - the theme is resusitation, so bring your white coats, scrubs, stethoscopes and makeshift wheelchairs!! This protest is not just about pensions, it is about protecting the service which has in Lansleys own words "recently saved us over £8billion in efficiency savings, improved access to dentistry, MRSA and C-diff infections are to date the lowest levels on record". Not to mention all the other improvements! We don't need privatisation, we need that money being reinvested where it's needed!

WHO: Meet the Team
Anna first joined PEPY Tours as a marketing intern in 2009, mid-way through soul-searching quest around Asia. Although she's tried to leave a couple of times Anna hasn't ever quite managed to say goodbye, and is now back for the third time, this time as nothing less than PEPY Tours GM. When Anna isn't navigating e-mailing across time-zones, she spends her days keeping everyone hydrated with sugarcane juice, teaching participants how to use squat toilets over skype, and trying to convince the team that cleaning out a flooded office is actually a really great team-building activity (this has happened more than once!). Anna dreams of finding good quality chocolate in Cambodia, and promoting travel as a key to learning about yourself, understanding the complexities of the world, meeting amazing people, and creating life-long memories.
Chor – pronounced 'Joe' – started working with PEPY Tours back in the summer of 2009, when he joined the team as a fresh-faced intern. Since then lots has changed, and he has gone on to become our tour coordinator and one of our super-star educational trip leaders. When he's in the office, Chor's time is filled with organizing logistics, arranging tour curriculums, and stealing Sarah's bananas.

It's up against some stirring competition in the form of James Bond 007: Blood Stone (featuring Sega legend Richard Jacques) and Dark Void, which isn't usually written about unless it's in praise of Bear McCreary's distinguishing soundtrack. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole earns a nomination, thanks to Winifred Philips, as do the themes of Lego Universe, assembled by Brian Tyler.
Though the majority of awards focus on film soundtracks, the IFMCA's sentiment seems just as applicable to video games. "The IFMCA strongly feels that a film score's strength lies in the combined impact of two important elements: the effectiveness, appropriateness and emotional impact of the score in the context of the film for which it was written; and the technical and intellectual merit of the composition when heard as a standalone listening experience." Winners will be announced on February 25, 2011.

Beginning Crochet: Part 4
Now that you can do the basic crochet stitches, here a few thing you need to know for making your crocheted item, including how to correct errors.
Slip stitch (sl st)- A slip stitch is used to join two ends of crochet, to join round crochets in a circular pattern, or switch to another stitch. With the loop on your hook, insert your hook through the desired stitch, yarn over, and pull the loop through both the stitch and the loop on your hook. Here's a great video on how to do the slip stitch:
Adding Another Row- To add another row, chain a stitch at the end of your row of crochet. Flip the piece over, skip the chain you made and put your hook through the first stitch. Be sure to put your hook through the whole stitch and not just the top loop. Yarn over and you are ready to continue with crocheting another row.
Adding/Decreasing Stitches- Adding/decreasing stitches is important in shaping garments such as hats or sweaters.
Add (abbreviated inc for increase)- To add a stitch, create a second stitch in the same stitch before moving on to the next chain link. This is one single crochet increase.
Drop (dec for decrease)- Basically, you are working one stitch over two or three stitches to decrease. To drop or decrease a stitch, insert the hook into stitch, YO, and pull the yarn through, just like a single crochet. Move to the next stitch, insert your hook, YO, and pull the loop through. Then YO again and pull your yarn through all three loops to drop the stitch. This is one single crochet decrease. To decrease in double crochet, YO and insert hook into the next stitch, YO and pull up loop. Yarn over and draw yarn through the first 2 loops on your hook, leaving two remaining on hook. YO and insert the hook into the next stitch, YO and pull up loop. YO and draw yarn through next 2 loops on hook, with 3 loops remaining. Yarn over and draw through all three loops on hook. This is one double crochet decrease.

I am a beginner can you show me how to do this ch 90 sc in 15th ch from hook (beginning ch counts as 5 foundation chains,tr,ch 5) *ch 5,sk next 4 ch, sc in next ch very confusing.
I am trying to teach my adult daughter how to crochet and was copying the steps for her (I confess some of the abbrev I had forgotten) and I clicked on the link to "Beginning Crochet: Part Five- How to Finish" and I could not find it. I know how to finish my way but I wanted to show her the proper way. She saw me crocheting a sweater for our taco bell dog and she said show me, well I was doing a blanket stitch for approx 6 rows then switched to a double and going in the round the blanket stitch was to allow room for his pee pee area before going in the round for the rest of the outfit. As the result she was totally confused.
would be helpful to have help in reading patterns...maybe it's just me but they are confusing
I love these posts ( beginning crochet 1, 2, 3, ect.) but I'm still a bit confused about decreasing stitches. Could anyone help me?

Strawberry Banana Green Monster Protein Smoothie
Lately, I've found myself drinking more smoothies than usual since I picked up a giant bag of vanilla whey protein powder at Costco.
To give you some background on my smoothie history, I originally learned how to make Green Monster smoothies from Oh She Glows. Since then, my own Green Monster recipe has gradually changed. I'm a creature of habit so I almost always throw the same exact things into the blender.
Luckily, I was feeling spontaneous on Wednesday and decided to mix it up. Let's just say that I'll definitely be mixing it up more if the results are always this good!
Strawberry Banana Green Monster Protein Smoothie
- 1/2 frozen banana, sliced
- Four frozen strawberries
- 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt
- 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
- A few handfuls of spinach (About two cups worth. I like frozen spinach to add some ice to the smoothie, but unfrozen is fine too.)
- 1 tbsp of nut butter (optional)
Makes one big serving.
I find that order doesn't matter too much, but I tend to put my ingredients into the blender in this order:
Banana, strawberries, protein powder, nut butter, Greek yogurt, almond milk, spinach.
Blend until smooth and enjoy!

Implications LyricsArtist: FifteenAlbum: Swain's First Bike Ride I've seen it in a million eyes, and I'm still waiting Cuz the answer ain't your lust for things to be all right, so I'm still waiting For people's loves to rule their lives, we all seem to be waiting We are nothing, We are Nothing, We are One We are nothing, We are Nothing, We are One We're looking for something, but nothing's getting done A million sectarian divisions, are only implications of Our lives, We create our joy, our sadness, our meaning, it seems so self-defeating Until I look in another man, see myself, touch his hand feel the same life Flowing, the same life Growing, the same life Running, the same life as mine

PC: The Heart's Logic - Part 1"The logic of the heart is absurd." - Julie de LespinasseSuoh Tamaki was confused, his head was mixed up in a flurry of thoughts. He had locked himself into his room once he set foot in his house after school. There was so much he needed to think about at that moment.He had just stepped into the Music Room 3, where the Host Club members usually met for their daily meetings. To his surprise, no one was in the room...until he heard a thud coming from the club's dressing room.Oh, someone must be here!The blonde hurried over to the source of the source, not even bothering to knock. He sung out a happy "Hello~" before opening the door."Hey! Who the hell told you it was okay to open the door?!"Ivy-Jade McKie, one of the new students imported from Canada. Although Ivy was a girl, she fancied dressed up as a boy, fooling all of her fellow students.

PC: Kitty Days - Part 1"Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this." AnonymousDuring one stormy night in London, there was a commotion in one of the town bars. A group of drunkards had rushed out of the building, chasing down a little girl with long, blonde hair.She wasn't wearing any clothes, only underwear and she ran on all-fours like an animal. The men continued to pursue her until she turned a corner, climbing up the bricks of an abandoned building."Damn that brat! And we expected some entertainment out of her!""Let's go. We'll find someone else."The satisfied feral girl hissed loudly as she strutted off onto the roof. She purred lowly and looked down, noticing the group of men were gone. Then she jumped down, landing on her..."paws".But just when she landed, a pair of feet stood before her. They belonged to a blonde boy holding an umbrella. As he looked down at the wet child, he smiled."Well, now. I never thought I'd see a little girl walking arou

Sam KeenThe next few days were completely awkward for Tamaki and Ivy. Even though Ivy continued her charade as a boy, Tamaki gradually became overprotective.Several incidents occurred when Ivy couldn't be left alone with another boy...or girl. Tamaki made sure he was nearby watching for "inappropriate behavior".He also made sure to correct the brunette whenever she called him "Suoh" instead of "Daddy". And don't forget the blushing and having spazz attacks whenever he saw her in girly clothing.All the extra attention Ivy receive made her slightly happy. Despite her always knocking Tamaki in the head for his doting, she didn't mind but eventually turned to Haruhi for advice when it got too crazy.On a Saturday afternoon, she went to Haruhi's house when Tamaki was busy with family affairs; she had made sure to keep take his cell phone to keep him trying to call her."Oh, h

Once Alois made his announcement, he and Maow skipped up the stairs to his bedroom.After putting her in a nightgown given by Hannah, he set up some pillows to make a bed and laughed. "This is where you'll sleep, Maow. Tomorrow we're gonna have fun bothering Claude~"Maow let out a happy mewling noise as she plopped down on her new bed.

Gabi and his family strolled along a path in a park near their home in central Greece. The chilly autumn breeze rustled the dying leaves and sent some flying. As the path neared the street, the family saw two young boys begging. The boys walked awkwardly from car to car. Gabi heard their plea for coins and realized that they were Romanian, as Gabi's family was.
"Why are they begging?" Gabi's son, Samuel, asked, pulling his father's sleeve. Gabi didn't have an answer. He had no money to give the boys, so he guided his family toward home. But questions swirled in his mind. Why are these boys begging on the street in Greece? Where are their parents? But he had no answers.
Gabi and his family had left their homeland of Romania and come to Greece in search of work. But hard times had hit Greece as well, and they found no regular work. The family stretched the little money they made to pay their rent and buy meager food. But the memory of the Romanian boys begging on the street haunted Gabi. The next day Gabi searched for the boys, but they weren't at the traffic light.
Gabi met Peter, a man who knew the boys. "They're brothers," Peter said. "They've been hired to herd sheep for someone." Gabi sensed that the boys were in danger, but Peter didn't know any more. Gabi felt heavy hearted. He prayed for the boys' safety and searched for them. But he couldn't find them.
Seven months later Gabi answered a knock on his door to find Peter with one of the brothers. "This is Costel," Peter said. Fear filled the boy's eyes.
"Come in, Costel," Gabi said. You're safe here." Sensing that the boy didn't believe him, Gabi continued, "This is your home now. You are part of our family, just as my children are."
Costel hesitated and then stepped into the room. Gabi showed him where he could put his few things. "You can share this room with my son," Gabi said. The boy looked around before placing his small bag and a few coins on the dresser. The next morning when Costel awoke, he counted his coins. They were all there. Perhaps this place is safe after all, he thought.
The boy stayed a few days, and then he told Gabi that he was leaving. Gabi begged him not to go. But Costel shouldered his small bag and walked to the door. "Please," Gabi said. "Come back anytime. I'll be here for you." Then the boy was gone, leaving emptiness in the home and a weight of sadness on Gabi's heart.
A month later Costel returned looking thinner and more terrified. Gabi welcomed the boy back and learned that the new "friend" had taken the boy's money and left him to fend for himself. "You have a place here as long as you wish," Gabi reminded the boy.
Gabi asked Costel about his brother. "Cristi's sick," Costel said tearfully. "He's forced to work." Gabi promised to find Cristi and bring him home. But Gabi couldn't find Cristi. The family prayed that God would protect Costel's brother. Months passed without word of the boy. Then Cristi appeared at Gabi's door.
Costel welcomed his brother and showed him where he'd sleep and where to put his things. "You're home now," Costel told his brother, echoing Gabi's words to him. "You don't need to be afraid."
Cristi listened during family worship and showed interest in reading the Bible, so Gabi began sharing Bible truths with him. Costel, on the other hand, resisted God; He couldn't accept that Jesus had died for him. But in time Costel began listening to the discussions Gabi and Cristi shared about God.
Gabi answered the boys' questions and prayed for them. In time Costel opened up to God as Cristi had. Gabi invited the local Adventist pastor to come and study with the boys. During one study they came to the verse "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" (Hebrews 3:15, NIV). Cristi offered his heart to God, and soon Costel did too.
Gabi and his wife celebrated the boys' baptism by rededicating their own lives to Christ. The brothers spend hours reading the Bible and learning to worship God. Gabi and his family still struggle financially, but they thank God for sending these boys into their lives to teach the entire family what it means to share God's love with others.
Part of this quarter's Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help provide an evangelistic center where people will learn to share God's love with others in Greece. Thank you for helping make this dream a reality.

Scientists welcome £600m boost
A £600 million boost for science announced in Chancellor George Osborne's Autumn Statement will be used to develop cutting-edge technologies with the potential to create wealth.
Spread over three years, the extra cash will help pay for facilities and equipment in areas such as advanced materials, synthetic biology, big data computing and energy storage.
It is the biggest single new research spending commitment since the coalition Government came into power.
The announcement was warmly welcomed by Imran Khan, director of the Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE). He said: "We were hoping that the Chancellor would continue his trend of supporting science and engineering, and are really delighted with this new commitment - the total amount of new funding since 2010 has now reached almost £2 billion.
"Osborne's consistency shows that he understands the UK must invest in becoming a hi-tech nation. In the coming decades we won't be able to compete internationally on natural resources or cheap labour, so the Government's plan to build British excellence in areas like synthetic biology and energy-efficient computing instead is absolutely critical.
"We applaud the Chancellor for supporting not only fundamental research but also making science a bigger part of the UK's industrial strategy."
The boost to Research Council infrastructure is aimed at capital investment which is used to pay for facilities rather than running costs.
In the 2010 Comprehensive Spending Review, annual funding for science and research was ring-fenced at £4.6 billion. However, this did not cover capital expenditure, attracting criticism from the science community.
Since then the Government has poured an additional £1.515 billion into the capital side of science.
Science minister David Willetts said: "Science and innovation are fundamental to our economy and this £600 million takes the total capital investment announced since the Comprehensive Spending Review to over £1.5 billion. It will support hi-tech areas where the UK's research base and industry can gain a competitive advantage, like big data and energy efficient computing, synthetic biology and advanced materials. This will drive growth, create the jobs of the future and help us get ahead in the global race."

General Questions
What are the dates for UConn Summer?
UConn offers a number of different Summer Session terms, which range in length from three weeks to six weeks. The first session begins in May and the last session ends in August. You can view the various Summer Session dates here.
What is the difference between Summer Sessions 1 and 2 and "Alternative" Summer Sessions 1 and 2?
Summer Sessions 1 and 2 each run 5 weeks. Alternative Summer Sessions 1 and 2 are sessions that run a week longer because their content/format requires the additional time. Most Alternative Session courses are lecture/lab courses, but there are a few in other subjects, so check your schedule carefully!
Can I take a Summer Session five-week course simultaneously with an Alternative Summer Session six-week course?
Yes! You can take up to eight credits in combining a five-week and a six-week course that overlap (for example: Summer Session 1 overlaps in its entirety with Alternative Summer Session 1).
Where do I find a listing of courses being offered this summer?
There are two ways to search for classes. Both UConn students and non-students may use the Dynamic Search Page. UConn students may also access this information via the Student Administration site.
How do I learn whether a Summer Session course is still available?
To search for the most up-to-date class offerings and availability, click here. If viewing the course selections in a UConn Student Admin account, search for only open classes with available seats.
Will you add an additional section if a popular course is full?
Sometimes. We make this decision on a case by case basis in consultation with the Registrar's Office and the academic department/program offering the course. The Dynamic Search Page and the UConn Student Administration site lists up-to-date course offerings and availability for all UConn Summer classes.
What is the schedule (frequency and duration) for UConn Summer courses?
Class times and frequency vary greatly for summer classes. Please check the Dynamic Search Page or the UConn Student Administration site for details. Generally, classes during May Term (and other 3-week sessions such as Winter Term) meet daily (M-F) for several hours each day. Most five or six week summer courses will meet two or three times a week for 3-4 hours a day. Lab courses often meet four or five days a week to accommodate lecture, discussion, and lab elements.
What is the length of class time for a Summer Session course?
Depending on the Summer Session and class schedule, class duration varies. The length of a course is determined by the credit hours. The Board of Trustees has declared the length of a credit hour as 11 hours and 40 minutes.
Can I take Summer Session courses online?
Yes, there are online courses offered during the summer. You can search for online courses via the online Course Catalog.
Do Summer Session classes have papers, final exams or multiple exams?
The coursework for each class depends on the individual class. The majority of courses have one final exam administered during the last class meeting.
How many credits can I register for during Summer Session?
During the three-week sessions, you may register for up to four credits. During the five and six week sessions (or a combination of the two), you may register for up to eight credits.
Are courses that filled up in Fall/Spring being offered this summer?
Yes. Many departments are offering high-demand courses during one or more of the summer sessions. Some high-demand courses are being offered at the regional campuses as well as the Storrs campus. Check the Dynamic Search Page or the UConn Student Administration site for details (you can search by specific campus or all campuses).
What are the deadlines for adding and dropping summer courses (and what are the refund dates)?
Please see link for a full Summer 2015 schedule that shows both add/drop and refund dates.
Note: Courses dropped before the end of the add/drop period for a given session are eligible for a 100% refund minus any non-refundable fees. Although courses may be dropped in person at a UConn Registrar's office or via email to email@example.com up until midnight of the night before the last class meeting, please note that courses dropped after the add/drop period has ended are not eligible for any refund.
I'm a college student, but I don't attend UConn. Can I take classes at UConn this summer? How do I register?
Yes, you would register as a non-degree student.
I attend one UConn campus during fall/spring but want to take summer classes at another campus. How do I register?
UConn Summer encompasses summer sessions at all six campuses (Storrs, Avery Point, Hartford, Stamford, Torrington, and Waterbury). To register for a class at another campus, simply search for classes by campus using the Dynamic Search Page or the UConn Student Administration site and complete registration as usual.
I'm currently studying abroad, but will be back in Connecticut this summer. How do I register for Summer Session classes?
Log in to search for classes and register online. You may also register by mail, fax or in person at any UConn Registrar's Office.

Single white female seeks Liberal Arts College for international conversation for French cuisine and many bon mots.
This may sound like a dating ad, but unfortunately for all you singles, it isn't!
Jill Gaeta, most commonly known by friends and family as "Jilly Bean," is the new French professor at The College of St. Scholastica.
Gaeta is single, loves to read, and watch movies. She enjoys evenings out with friends and taking long walks, as well as traveling and smaller expeditions such as hiking.
She moved to Duluth, Minn., from Michigan, a few months before starting her job at Scholastica. She does not have kids, unless you want to count her dog and bunnies.
Gaeta's love for reading has no boundaries, though she admits to loving Jane Austen's work. Her bookish life has also been impacted by moving images, especially those focused on science fiction and fantasy.
"I like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Terminator, just to mention a few," Gaeta said.
But Gaeta is not at Scholastica to watch wizards fly around in brooms or elves and self-proclaimed great wizards fight for a ring full of evil.
She is at Scholastica to teach French to those interested in learning another language.
It is rare when I encounter a teacher with such passion and love for others to learn."
-Student of Gaeta
"Bonjour! Comment ça va?" Translated as, "Good morning! How are you?," this is usually the way Gaeta greets her students at the beginning of class. However, for the sake of English readers, this piece contains only minor French references.
Gaeta teaches Conversational French, Intermediate French, Readings in French and other classes that anyone can think of that end in the word French (and that, of course, are in the Scholastica program).
Since it is a French class, she does not allow English in her classroom (except for the occasional beginners) and those students that get away with speaking English in between explanations.
"Sometimes I cannot understand a word she says; it gets so confusing, but I try 'cause French is so beautiful, and well, a sexy language," said one of her current students.
Gaeta grew up in Southern California, moving around from Los Angeles to San Diego when she was only 6 years old, then back up to L.A. when she was 12. But the moving around did not affect her normal functioning at all.
Moving around inside the state and then moving out for college prepared her for the new travels she was about to pursue.
Gaeta has been all over Western Europe, Hungary, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Canada.
After moving around Southern California, she decided to move to Oregon, where her career began.
Before becoming a professor, Gaeta attended the University of Oregon for her undergraduate degree and then Michigan State University for her master's degree and doctorate.
Before graduate school, she worked as a teaching assistant in Lycee (which means high school) Marseille, France, and then moved to pedagogical training before finally diving into teaching focused seminars/conferences.
She taught high school students once in France, which influeced her decision to move to higher education. "I chose college level because of the students' overall maturity," Gaeta said.
Such passion for the French language and education in general, has left some of her students flabbergasted.
"It is rare when I encounter a teacher with such passion and love for others to learn," said one student. "There are no words to describe how love and passion for teaching can impact the overall classroom experience."
Even though Gaeta has not been part of the St. Scholastica community for a long time, her impact on her students and their education is great.
"Jill is truly a teacher at heart," one admiring student said.

The first series was supported by PRS for Music Foundation's New Music Plus...an initiative developed in association with the hub, with funding by Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Arts Council England, and Sound and Music.
The Black Sound Series has since become an integral part of Contact's programme allowing for non-conventional audiences to access urban theatre and art. This audience has grown over the last 3 years calling out for more works of art which embody a sense of community, culture and history.
In October 2013, The Black Sound Series and BPM (a Manchester Music collective) hosted a sell-out event as part of the Afrovibes Festival, exploring how the sounds and rhythms of Africa have transcended genres and have become central to music culture here in the UK. Creating a unique collaboration between the kaleidoscope orchestra (young classical UK Orchestra influenced by bass music), Sibikwa Orchestra (indigenous African music) and established UK underground artists which included the likes of Elizabeth Troy, Flow Dan, OG Mr Fox, and Chunky.
Into The Beats, an event curated by Contact and key partners BPM in May 2013 as a branch of The Black Sound Series was the first event of its kind in Manchester which brought well known and established producers such as Zed Bias and Silkie into a shared safe space where they could deliver an interactive workshop based on music production for an engaged and interested audience.
For Black History Month 2013, Contact has commissioned a series of short videos showcasing artists from the Manchester music scene called The Black Sound Series Cyphers.

CG reveal trailers. They're a lot like porn. Initially exciting, and certainly enough to get the blood pumping, but ultimately shallow and unfulfilling once the moment has passed. Because however stylised and thrilling they might be, you just know that they're not real.
But now that we've all suffered the cold-existential comedown from the reveal trailer for Naughty Dog's The Last of Us, we have the video game equivalent of a real, actual, stable girlfriend in the shape of these first in-game screens. She's very real and lovely, and only wearing slightly too much make-up.
That make-up comes by way of some extra anti-aliasing, as admitted by Naughty Dog's Arne Meyer in a NeoGAF thread, but they're otherwise thoroughly plausible given what ND has achieved with Uncharted 2 and 3. Thus I have no problem allowing myself to get excited by them. The screens obviously come from Game Informer. The big letters spelling out 'Game Informer' should tell you that.
Game details? There are a few more to go along with these. Apparently you'll control Joel, with Ellie remaining an AI companion throughout. So far though, she's reported to be pretty capable and not requiring of any babysitting, so that's good. As for gameplay, we know that combat will be a mix of melee and gunplay, with melee weapons wearing out and breaking, and thus needing replacing.
Clearly, Naughty Dog is playing its cards very close to its chest at the moment. At the min things sound (and look) a lot like a cross between Uncharted and Ninja Theory's Enslaved. Which would be good, but I suspect there's more going on here.
Another thing I also suspect that either Joel is Uncharted's Nathan Drake aged 15 - 20 years, or that Naughty Dog isn't putting the imagination into its character designs that it should. Because a simple beard is not enough to distract one as eagle-eyed as I that he is basically Drake's character model with a bit of grime and a few wrinkles painted on. Want proof? Check this proof, which I have created using cutting edge CGI techniques:
Above: Joel from The Last of Us
Above: Old Nathan Drake
Above: Joel from The Last of Us (this is from GI's cover art rather than an in-game screen)
Above: Old Nathan Drake (this is also from GI's cover art rather than an in-game screen)
Above: Joel from The Last of Us
Above: Old Nathan Drake
Above: Joel from The Last of Us
Above: Old Nathan Drake
Also, as Cundy has just pointed out to me, Ellie looks a lot like a young Chloe in that second set of images. Now we need a middle-aged Sully and a granny Elena to turn up and we have the whole set. Good lord, Naughty Dog. The Last of Us looks potentially amazing, but seriously. Some new people ideas. Have them.

Stream Miley Cyrus' Full 'Bangerz,' With Britney Spears, Ludacris
Not-pregnant singer's new album also features Future, Big Sean, Nelly, and French Montana
The moment Miley Cyrus has been trolling the world for is (almost) here. Bangerz, the follow-up to 2010's Can't Be Tamed, is due out on October 8 via RCA Records, but the whole thing is streaming now over at iTunes. That includes summer molly anthem "We Can't Stop" and chart-crushing power ballad "Wrecking Ball," plus guest appearances from (deep breath) Britney Spears, Ludacris, Future, French Montana, Big Sean, and Nelly. Top-tier producers such as Mike Will Made It, Pharrell Williams, and Dr. Luke also contributed.
It's surely no coincidence that Cyrus' name continues to make the news for non-musical reasons. On September 30, Cyrus took to Twitter to joke about discovering a rumor she was pregnant by Juicy J. Meanwhile, with so many eyes focused on the Breaking Bad finale a day earlier, US Weekly circulated a dismissive quote Cyrus gave to sister publication Rolling Stone. "Breaking Bad I just got into, but I haven't been able to keep up with it as much," she said. "There's just a lot of him coughing. I'm in the first season, and the coughing is driving me crazy."
Did she go on? Of course: "Like, we get it — you're dying," Cyrus said of protagonist Walter White, who suffers from cancer. "Do you really need a whole two-minute scene of another cough attack? It's too much. In every bad situation, how does he get out? He just starts coughing." Of all the reasons to dislike Breaking Bad, this astringent analysis wasn't one that came to mind, but it's pretty hilarious. The Miley-related jokes write themselves, but we'd rather dig into what's sure to be the nation's next No. 1 album. Government shutdown be damned.

If you are already a guest or a member sign in below.
Once you're connected, set up Audacity.
Audacity records in mono by default, so change the settings to stereo if you're recording from a stereo source:
In the dropdown box for input, select "Line in" or "Microphone" to match whichever socket you're using. Audacity then listens to that socket for the incoming music. Note that using the Microphone socket will result in a mono recording, so line-in is preferable.
If you plan to do any further editing after recording your audio, you should increase the sampling rate too. That way, any loss of data will be less noticeable in the final result:
Play your tape or vinyl record, and check the input levels (red bars) in Audacity. Make sure that sound is registered in both the left and right inputs (if you're recording in stereo).
The bars on the far left indicate that the sound is too loud, and that the audio is being clipped to bring the sound level down to reduce distortion.
If clipping occurs, reduce the volume on your tape player or turntable. If that doesn't help, reduce the input level volume using the slider bar in Audacity.
Press the record button in Audacity then start playing your cassette tape or vinyl record. Headphones or speakers should let you hear the sound levels and any noise, background hum or sound artefacts such as pops and crackles while you record. Press the stop button once the tape or vinyl record has played.
Now, save the file:
WAV files can be burned to CD as audio tracks using CD-burning software such as Nero or iTunes.
Removing pops, hisses and crackles can be quite time-consuming, but Audacity has a couple of tools to help with the process.
First open your track (if it's not already open).
Removing background noise is the first step, and it's relatively straightforward. Audacity needs a sample of the background noise, so it knows what to remove, choose a portion of the track where there are no vocals or music:
Now Audacity has a sample, remove that noise from the rest of the track.
The noise reduction process takes up to a minute for around three minutes of music.
There's a quick method for removing clicks in some versions of Audacity:
If your version doesn't have click removal, or it doesn't work effectively for your recording, you'll have to play the whole track to identify the pops and clicks in order to remove them one at a time. Remove the single point in the track that contains the spike to remove the pop. This leaves a silence, but it shouldn't be noticeable when you play the entire track.
Check that it sounds okay, and that the pop has been removed. If you're unhappy with the result, you can undo it:
From the Edit menu, select Undo.
If you record an entire LP, you may want to record each track separately and join them up later, or record the entire thing in one go. Audacity offers several tools to assist with cutting and combining tracks, so you can choose whichever method you prefer.
It may be useful to normalise tracks, to set them all to the same sound level — which is especially useful if you're combining tracks from different albums or singles.
Old vinyl records often need equalisation, too — manufacturers at the time had difficulties recording both low and high frequency sound. Equalising manages this problem, but means that you also need to equalise on playback. This can take a fair bit of guesswork, but Audacity has several of preset equalisation settings for common record players. It's not exhaustive, so you'll probably still need to tinker.

More Tech-Inspired Innovations Planned for New Disney Cruise Ship
(8 a.m. EDT) --
Disney Cruise Line
is slowly trickling out details on its under-construction
Disney Dream
. The 128,000-ton, 2,500-passenger vessel is the first new Disney ship in over a decade, and is set to launch in 2011.
Over the last few months, we've gotten a taste of how technology is being used to revolutionize the Disney cruise experience. Inside cabins will have a window to the outside world via virtual portholes, and the AquaDuck -- the industry's first "watercoaster" -- will use water pressure to send rafts through a see-through acrylic tube that winds up and down around the top deck from funnel to funnel.
Today, the family line has announced even more high-tech innovations, developed in partnership with Walt Disney Imagineering -- the creative force behind Disney theme parks and resorts across the globe.
Here's what's new:
Re-Imagined Animator's Palate.
The Animator's Palate restaurant on
Disney Wonder
Disney Magic
famously changes from black-and-white to color while screens lining its perimeter come alive with Disney animations past and present. On Disney Dream, however, the concept is tweaked and taken to a new level thanks to fresh technology (pictured above).
Diners enter a room decorated with character sketches and images of tools one might find in an art studio (paint brushes, etc.) -- but, as the meal goes on, wall-mounted LCD screens change, transforming the space into an undersea world. The effect is of being in a room underwater with windows out to the sea and its creatures. But that's not all -- Crush, the turtle from "Finding Nemo," will swim around the restaurant via these screens engaging guests in live, impromptu conversations (we saw this same technology in action during the
last fall; Crush will also interact with guests in the ship's kids' areas).
Crush caps off the meal with a virtual surfing lesson before he and his friends -- Nemo, Dory, Squirt and Bruce the shark -- transform into pencil sketches before guests' eyes.
Interactive Play-Floor.
The cruise industry's first-ever interactive floor will debut onboard. What this is, essentially, is a gaming device that allows young cruisers to play in a more active way, the same concept that has made the Nintendo Wii console and its components wildly successful. For example, children might move around the perimeter of the floor to control the pitch of a virtual tilt maze.
It will also serve as a unique storytelling device, allowing kids to, say, virtually fly over the streets of London with Peter Pan. The play-floor will be found in Disney's Oceaneer Club and Disney's Oceaneer Lab.
Detective Adventures ... with Enchanted Art.
We've already reported on the special animated art that will grace the walls onboard; this art will actually be framed LCD screens that recognize when a guest is present, activating several seconds of animation in the picture. For example, an animation cell from "Bambi" might show a butterfly flitting across the scene.
What's new, however, is that this technology is going to be used to host unique, detective-themed adventures for guests of all ages. Participants will receive a card-shaped device through which they can "peer behind" these virtual canvases to uncover hidden clues and solve a mystery (stolen artwork, missing puppies). The game is self-paced and features six potential villains as well as randomized events, so it is different each time a guest plays.
Disney Dream is due out in January 2011. Stay tuned for more information as it is announced.

Graduate Programs:
- M.F.A. Directing
- M.F.A. Design/Technology
M.F.A. Directing
Students of stage directing at USD are training to be interpretive artists and educators. They are expected to develop a high level of skill in text analysis, interpersonal communication, and the director's tools for effective storytelling, while also attaining a broad knowledge of theatre and its companion arts. In addition to focused instruction in acting, directing and design, students are encouraged to develop an understanding of how the present and the past intersect so that they may help others discover the common threads which link human experience.
Because program admissions are limited, each student receives a high level of individualized instruction, opportunities to direct in the Arena season of plays and, in most instances, the opportunity to direct a mainstage production as part of the directing candidate's culminating project.
All M.F.A. directing candidates must stage manage two approved productions and direct three approved productions. The M.F.A. Directing program requires 60 Credit Hours of Study.
M.F.A. Design/Theatre Technology
With major professor and graduate committee approval, candidates must elect an area of emphasis and must complete additional requirements for the emphasis area:
- Scenic design
- Lighting and sound design
- Costume design
- Technical production
The M.F.A. Design/Theatre Technology program is a theoretical and practical course of study. The Department of Theatre recognizes that the designer and technician must seek to attain a broad knowledge of the theatre and its companion arts, a high level of analytical and communicative skills, an understanding of the design elements as they apply to live, three-dimensional performances revealed by light, a comprehensive understanding of art and theatrical design history and the ability to communicate graphically.
Because program admissions are limited, each student receives a high level of individualized instruction, opportunities to design in the Arena season of plays, and, in most instances, the opportunity to design a mainstage production as part of the design candidate's culminating project. At least fifty percent of the graduate program of study credit hours must be in courses numbered 600 or above.
The program requires 60 Credit Hours of Study.

In this paper we present a new approach for the nonrigid registration of contrast-enhanced breast MRI. A hierarchical transformation model of the motion of the breast has been developed. The global motion of the breast is modeled by an affine transformation while the local breast motion is described by a free-form deformation (FFD) based on B-splines. Normalized mutual information is used as a voxel-based similarity measure which is insensitive to intensity changes as a result of the contrast enhancement. Registration is achieved by minimizing a cost function, which represents a combination of the cost associated with the smoothness of the transformation and the cost associated with the image similarity. The algorithm has been applied to the fully automated registration of three-dimensional (3-D) breast MRI in volunteers and patients. In particular, we have compared the results of the proposed nonrigid registration algorithm to those obtained using rigid and affine registration techniques. The results clearly indicate that the nonrigid registration algorithm is much better able to recover the motion and deformation of the breast than rigid or affine registration algorithms.
