For Incoming Students, 2014-15
Welcome to all new students for the 2014-15 academic year!
It promises to be another awesome year. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you await the opening of the fall semester.
1. Please follow all instructions as provided by the Office of Admissions, the Registrar's Office, and the Provost's Office. Get your passwords, email accounts, and so forth set up. All the information you need on health insurance, housing, financial aid, assistantship payment (i.e., tax) forms, and so forth will be on the websites or emailed to you or sent as hardcopy mail.
2. Do not worry about registration at this time, unless you have some prerequiste courses you need to take at Ithaca College (by the way, we just call it IC). If you have undergrad prereqs to take, you should register for them now. Please also keep in mind that you may audit some of these prereqs. You may deal with the audit paperwork when you arrive on campus in the fall. Contact the ESS Grad Chair for more information.
3. Be sure to have your FINAL official transcripts sent to Ithaca College. If you are taking prerequisite courses during the summer, please have those transcripts also sent.
4. Registration need not take place until after the ESS Graduate Program Orientation, which is tentatively Monday, August 25, from 3:00-5:00 pm in CHS 303 (exercise physiology lab). You will have a much better idea of what courses to take at that time. You must be at this orientation. If you are on a graduate assistantship and your duties are at this time, please tell your supervisor that this is a mandatory meeting that you cannot miss.
5. If you are on a graduate assistantship is is YOUR responsibility to contact your supervisor prior to the start of school. Athletic trainers and fall sport coaches, especially, must be in contact with the supervisors during the summer. Teaching and research assistants can wait until orientation day to meet with their supervisors. Pay for GAs is in the form of a bi-weekly salary over the fall and spring semesters. The tuition waiver is applied directly to your bill. That is, those tuition costs simply do not appear on the bill.
6. The all-college grad oriention/lunch should be posted on the Office of Admissions webpages. Plan to be there. Please note that there are ongoing changes in how graduate administration works. Please be patient while we work out the kinks.
7. We normally have an informal grad & faculty picnic during the first or second week of class, this year it will most likely be Friday afternoon on the second week of class. You should plan on attending this as well.
8. Classes start August 27. You will hit the ground running. Get ready for the ride of your life!

Members of First Book-Westminster distributed books and grant money in Lawrence and Mercer counties in December.
Six members of the group and their adviser, Dr. Eileen Morelli, Westminster associate professor of education, distributed 200 books to fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade students in West Middlesex. Two of the teachers who received books were Christen Delgado Jones, a 2005 Westminster graduate, and Sherry Decker, who earned her master's from Westminster in 2009.
Participating students, all elementary education majors, were:
Senior Carly Breletic, co-chair of First Book-Westminster, is a daughter of Jamie Breletic and Robin Breletic of South Park and a graduate of South Park High School.
Senior Ashley Faherty, co-chair of First Book-Westminster, is a daughter of Timothy and Nancy MacFarlane of Cranberry Township and a graduate of Seneca Valley High School.
Senior Tricia Homonai, treasurer of First Book-Westminster, is a daughter of Robert and Virginia Homonai of Mt. Pleasant and a graduate of Mt. Pleasant Area High School.
Junior Emily Hosack is a daughter of William and Barbara Hosack of Mercer and a graduate of Kennedy Catholic High School.
Senior MaryBeth Memo is a daughter of David and Deborah Memo of New Castle and a graduate of Neshannock High School.
Senior Suzanne Palumbo, secretary of First Book-Westminster, is a daughter of James and Leilani Palumbo of Schenectady, N.Y., and a graduate of Kearney R-I High School.
First Book-Westminster officers presented $1,000 certificates to Vincent Comisky, principal of Luther Low Elementary School in West Middlesex, and to Yvonne Clark of the Walker Neighborhood House after-school program in New Castle. The certificates were in response to grant requests submitted to First Book-Westminster to obtain books for students.
Funds for the grants were raised by First Book-Westminster students, who raised more than $2,700 and distributed over 500 books in Lawrence and Mercer counties.
First Book-Westminster is the local chapter of an international nonprofit organization whose mission is to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books. The organization raises funds and accepts community donations to provide books to children in literacy programs, shelters for battered children, housing project initiatives, soup kitchens, after-school programs, and other community-based efforts reaching children living at or below the poverty line.

Thanks all!
I totally agree with you. I'll be wearing mine at the Library. In for 3
They don't require electricity unless you want to read in the dark. I think I heard someone say something about a candle, but I don't really know what those are. Cute shirt though, seriously. Nice work.
Both my sister-in-law is a library director and my mother-in-law spent all her working days working for a library and loves her books so this will make great birthday gifts
*This* librarian approves!
Congrats Jas!
Argh, if only it were on a darker color shirt. I have 0 luck with white/grey shirts. Love it though.
those there books aint gonna read theirselves
This is perfect for the ant-ereader trolls who show up to poo poo any new ereader. You know the type, they can't usually name 5 titles they've read in the last 2 years but call themselves "readers".
tomcall wrote:Anybody going to identify those several books that have markings on them? Like, what Japanese symbol is that one in the middle?
The character in the middle is actually a Chinese character, 'di' (pronounced Dee). In Chinese its only use as far as my knowledge extends is in the word 弟弟, which means younger brother. Characters like the one on the book are distinctly Chinese, as they feature straighter lines and are comprised of many different strokes. Natively Japanese characters look like this: ちは. They're a bit more curly and use less strokes than Chinese characters. However, some Chinese characters were borrowed by the Japanese, so sometimes you'll see cross over. For example, in Japanese I do believe the character on the book is a general term for brother, similar to its use in Chinese, though it's pronounced differently than in Chinese. The more you know, right!
I watch Cleopatra 2525 when I am not baked...
Now if this said "Comic Books, No Electricity required"...I'm sold!

I said the same thing until I received a free Nook. It's really a better way to read, but easier on my eyes and easier to get into comfy positions. I'm loving it. But I will still keep my real book collection, and still visit my library and still look for deals on books I'd like to read =)
Does the shirt come with a Kindle edition too?
Bought 2 one for me and and I had to buy one for my DD who works at her collage library. Wouldn't it be neat if the whole staff showed up in this tee shirt on the same day
Really like this shirt! Now, if "Soap" takes 3rd, I'll have something to wash the shirt with.

That's the thing, you do not need 2,000 books at a time. You also don't need with you constantly: 10,000 songs, Facebook,and hours upon hours of videos. Try sticking to 16 hours of entertainment at a time, you'll sleep better and that will help your back.
I'll be wearing this shirt while working at an independent bookstore and glaring at anyone who asks if we sell e-readers!!
You've really been on fire recently! I hope this one does well for you.
But let's face it....ebook readers require so little electricity that if you took one in a time machine with you to the 18th century you'd probably die of scurvy before you found yourself without something to read......
I'm looking at this shirt with my Nook Color. Bet you can't do that with a book! Actually, studies are starting to show the carbon footprint of books is larger than ereaders. I have no evidence to back that up, but I definitely read it somewhere, not in a book. (p.s. I still love you, books.)
I suppose I should buy this, considering I recently got my library degree and am trying like crazy to find a job in a library. But a light gray shirt with white text? And a really humdrum graphic? Meh, I think I'll pass.
"We call this color: Heather Gray-Haired Old Librarian" As a young and "fun color haired" Librarian, I resent this >:S
Silverfish have a great mating ritual: The reproduction of silverfish is preceded by a "love dance", involving three phases, which may last over half an hour. In the first phase, the male and female stand face to face, their trembling antennae touching, then repeatedly back off and return to this position. In the second phase the male runs away and the female chases him. In the third phase the male and female stand side by side and head-to-tail, with the male vibrating his tail against the female. Finally the male lays a spermatophore, a sperm capsule covered in gossamer, which the female takes into her body via her ovipositor to fertilize the eggs she will lay later on. (from wikipedia)
Go writeup for the mention of Ha Jin! He's both an alum and a faculty member in fiction at Boston University's Creative Writing program, where I just got my MFA in playwriting.
Not going to buy the shirt, but thanks anyway, you did remind me to charge my nook!
I've always wanted to try a design like this but didn't have the spine; I'm glad Jasneko had it covered. ISBN a long time since I've seen a shirt this good.

At the same time, do they know how much energy is required and how much pollution is created by cutting down the trees, processing the paper, printing/assembly and all the transportation in between? Ebook readers are much better for the environment.
You need to read a book or two. Trees need to be cut down, dense forests prevent new growth and a major cause of forest fires. Paper is natural and biodegradeable. How much manufacturing, chemicals, energy is used to create your ebook reader? Not too mention all the electricity, circuit boards, wiring etc to deliver the ebook to your ebook reader or computer.
I want this, but I feel like I shouldn't buy it because I have a Kindle.
Yay Jasneko! You're on fire, lady! Im so glad this placed. I really like the message. Sometimes we need a break from the ol' electronic screens. Congrats!!!
I fail to see why the two sides can't co-exist. I love books. I love holding a book in my hands, turning the pages, seeing the words printed there, stroking the spine... erm, ahem, anyway. That being said, while I don't own one, I would love to have an eReader as well. Therefore, anyone who is solidly on the book side of the argument, and maybe got an eReader as a gift, please feel free to get in contact with me about sending it my way and getting it off your hands.

Yes, but if I have multiple books and a bunch of music on my iPhone, for example, I don't have to worry about whether or not I'm going to finish my current book before I have the chance to make it home or what kind of music mood I'm going to be in later in the day, etc. As someone who is routinely at work for over 24 hours in a row, this is definitely an issue for me. That being said, I still love paper books and this is my first heather gray shirt! In general I don't like heather gray, so we'll see how this comes out.
Very good point! Books printed on recycled paper are great, too. Congrats on the print Jas, you have been doing so well lately! 2010 was a great year for you, and 2011 is shaping up to be even better! Congrats on your well-deserved success!
I'm remember waaaay back in the day when people actually read actual books for fun, not using them to stick under a wobbly table leg.
Weird, because the last time my electricity went out for a long period of time, I was not able to read my Kindle after a few hours... Am I doing it wrong?
Love this shirt - books are always better than the movies.

10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
~ Pr 24:10
Was not Balaam son of Beor a false prophet?
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
But wait! If he was a false prophet, how is it that he spoke true things?
24 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
~ vv 1-2
If Balaam's words were the result of the Spirit of God, how can they be false sayings?
Obviously, there is more to whether or not a given person is a false prophet than whether or not his utterances come true. You probably know the story. Balaam went on to advise King Balak to entice the Children of Israel into idolatry through the woman and fertility rites.
13 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
- You are to not hearken to the words of the false prophet.
- You are to obey God.
Short and sweet: The antidote to the false prophet? Follow God!
Israel did not obey God, and so they fell into the idolatry of Baalpeor shortly after the meeting of Balak and Balaam. They became cursed through their own actions.
If you build your doctrine and beliefs upon a false prophet, then you are building it upon sand.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Again, what is the antidote? Do what Christ said to do! Follow Christ!
False prophets and false teachers alike want you to follow them, follow their organization, etc. A Christian walk should point people to Christ. Statements like, "Unlike we in xCG, who are the smartest, best dressed and most loving (because we tell you so)…" do nothing to point people to Christ.
The antidote to smooth words of false teachers is to follow Christ. The way to build up immunity is to keep you nose in the word.
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
~ Isa 8:20
I keep beating the drum on getting everyone to read through the Bible this year (and every year, for that matter). Why? How will you know the law and testimony if you do not read it?
I read, yet once again today, someone who whined that they left a certain church because they "found out" (long after his death, at that) that HWA was a "false prophet".
<Sigh />
It is so sad that people miss the point over and over again. If you are building your trust and faith upon HWA, then I guarantee you will one day be disappointed. If you are building your trust and faith upon LCG and/or whether or not a certain blogger stays with them, then you are building upon sand in the end regardless of the particulars. Why? Because they are human beings. Christ said to build it upon "the Rock", His words.
Christ is supposed to be the Chief Cornerstone of the Church! Not HWA, not Meredith, not Thiel, not Malm, not Franks, not Luker and certainly not Flurry! Only Christ is unmovable. If you build it upon anyone or anything else, then the inevitable will happen, and you will lose your faith because it will fall away with the temporary object of your faith.
So, "Was Herbert Armstrong a False Prophet?" I don't think so. Yet, a more important question is, "If he was, how does that change the truth? Does that change what you believe?" Because if it does, it shows you are basing your beliefs on the wrong things.
He said one thing that was false. He said, "Half of you just don't get it!" That was about as false as it comes. He understated the problem. He was too optimistic. It was false because more than half did not get it. They were basing their beliefs upon what the church fed them, what the booklets said and what the ministers said. Instead of Bible study, they were reading the Plain Truth magazine. They based their beliefs on an organization and the man who ran it. When the man who took it over changed the doctrines, they simply went along with what they always have done.
Sorry if I am being somewhat facetious, but isn't there truth in what I just wrote? People really did read the booklets and the magazines and call it "Bible study", and then why should anyone be surprised when people base their beliefs upon the booklets and magazines?
10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
~ Pr 24:10
The strength of those who fell away is small. All of us should be able to relate. We are constantly surrounded by enemies. We must fight our own carnality, the pull of the world and the actions and attitudes of others. If that were not bad enough, Satan shores up his power by broadcasting his moods and attitudes, and we humans are naturally tuned in to his channel.
So, how do we stand against such power? When the winds and the rains of temptations and trials come upon us, how do we keep our house from falling?
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
So, whether or not HWA was a false prophet is not the point. Whether or not certain bloggers come and go from certain organizations is not the point. Building your belief system upon the Bible and knowing why you believe the way you do – that is the point.

Race drivers Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniil Kvyat will test for Toro Rosso in Bahrain
Mercedes now the only team yet to confirm line-up
Last Updated: 13/12/13 10:31am
Danill Kvyat and Jean-Eric Vergne will be behind the wheel at Sakhir
Sky Bet
Formula 1 Betting
Toro Rosso will run both of their 2014 race drivers, Jean-Eric Vergne and newcomer Daniil Kvyat, in the Pirelli tyre test in Bahrain next week.
Unlike fellow Sakhir testers Red Bull and Ferrari, who have both decided to draft in test drivers, Toro Rosso will give Vergne and Kvyat a day-and-a-half each in the STR8.
Although essentially a 2014 tyre test, the session will likely prove particularly invaluable for GP3 Champion Kvyat given the 19-year-old has completed just three days of running in an F1 car.
Mercedes are now the only team running in Bahrain not to have confirmed their driver plans.
Bahrain test line-up:
Red Bull: Sebastien Buemi - All three days.
Mercedes: TBC
Ferrari: Pedro de la Rosa - Days One & Two; Jules Bianchi - Day Three.
Toro Rosso: Jean-Eric Vergne - Day One and Day Two morning; Daniil Kvyat - Day Two afternoon & Day Three.

Gaining Independence
As you read through the documents, keep these general questions in mind:
- What makes a person independent?
- What words or phrases do the authors/narrators use to describe their identities as workers?
- How do the workers in these texts form their American Jewish identities? Point to specific examples.
Rose Schneiderman explains keeping some of her earnings
I learned to use the machine in three or four weeks and after a trial period with Cornelia [the woman who got her the job], I was on my own. The first week on the job I earned six dollars, more than twice as much as I had earned at Ridley's. However, Mother was far from happy. She thought working in a store much more genteel than working in a factory. But we needed that extra money. When I gave her five dollars out of my first pay, she wanted to know where the envelope was. I told her that I had it and that I had taken out a dollar for my own expenses. She didn't like this, either. She thought that as a dutiful daughter I ought to hand over all I earned and let her give me what she thought I needed for the week. I didn't agree, so we continued in my way. That was my first revolt toward independence.
Discussion Question
Why is it important to Schneiderman to keep a portion of her earnings? What changes in her relationship with her mother because of this?
Bread Givers Excerpt: "I am an American!"
I wanted back the mornings going to work. And the evenings from work. The crowds sweeping you on, like waves of a beating sea. The shop. The roar of the rushing machines. The drive and the thrill of doing things faster and faster. The pay envelope. The joyous feel of money where every little penny was earned with your own hands. …
"A young girl, alone, among strangers? Do you know what's going on in the world? No girl can live without a father or a husband to look out for her. It says in the Torah. Only through a man has a woman an existence. Only through a man can a woman enter Heaven."
"I'm smart enough to look out for myself. It's a new life now. In America, women don't need men to boss them…Thank God, I'm living in America!...I'm going to make my own life… I'm going to live my own life. Nobody can stop me. I'm not from the old country. I'm an American!"
"You blasphemer!" His [the heroine's father] hand flung out and struck my cheek. "Denier of God! I'll teach you respect for the law!" I leaped back and dashed for the door. The Old World had struck its last on me.
Discussion Questions
- What does work offer the narrator in this story? How does her description of life in the garment shop differ from others you may have encountered?
- How does the narrator describe what being American means to her?
- How does she differentiate herself from her parents, particularly her father?
Letter from "J.B."
Dear Editor,
I am a Russian revolutionist and a free thinker. Here in America I became acquainted with a girl who is also a free thinker. We decided to marry, but the problem is, she has Orthodox parents, and for their sake we must have a religious ceremony. If we refuse the ceremony we will be cut off from them forever. Her parents also want me to go to the synagogue with them before the wedding, and I don't know what to do. Therefore I ask you to advise me how to act.
The advice is that there are times when it pays to give in to old parents and not grieve them. It depends on the circumstances. When one can get along with kindness it is better not to break off relations with the parents.
Discussion Questions
- How does J.B. relate to the conservative traditionalism of his parents' generation? Why is he conflicted?
- Do you agree with the advice given in the "Answer"?

PARIS — What does Ralph Lauren have in common with John Singer Sargent, Edgar Degas and Henri Matisse?
Besides an artistic bent, the American designer now also shares a connection to the famous Paris school those painters attended, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts.
On Tuesday night, Lauren hosted a black-tie event at the sprawling site on the Left Bank to kick off a two-year commitment to help restore and modernize the Beaux-Arts' historic amphitheater. The evening included his first runway outing in the French capital, reprising his fall show for 250 journalists, clients and VIP guests, who were mostly from the 'hood. Charlotte Gainsbourg performed "Heaven Can Wait" and "The Songs That We Sing" after dinner.
"It's more than 30 years I've been living here," said Catherine Deneuve who, like Charlene, Princess of Monaco, wore an off-the-shoulder dress.
Asked her favorite thing about the area, actress Alice Taglioni purred, "Just the name is enough — Rive Gauche." She said she's writing her first screenplay, a romantic comedy.
Other VIPs in attendance included Arielle Dombasle and Lambert Wilson.
After watching models including Daria Strokous and Anna Selezneva parade in Lauren's jaunty peacoats, Cossack pants and velvet dresses in a collection that nodded to Russia and Parisian chic, Wilson said, "It's nice to see when it's consumable; so realistic." The actor was alluding to the fact that the clothes are actually in stores, and not just runway razzle-dazzle.
Dombasle seconded the notion, confessing that she had already tried on some of the runway looks at the boutique (though she wore Lanvin to the party).
"This is another exciting moment for me, and a first," Lauren said in an interview Monday, seated on a wooden bench in the semicircular lecture theater he's restoring. The central feature of the soaring space is a 90-foot Raphael-esque mural by Paul Delaroche representing 75 great artists across the ages. "It's very impressive," he sighed, craning his neck to take in the panoramic painting.
Thanks to Lauren's largesse, the room is to be equipped with modern stadium seating and state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, while restoring its cupola and other period features. Construction work should start in early 2014.
Ralph Lauren Corp. has also earmarked funds to modernize the school's Web site with digital content, along with online classes, workshops and symposiums.
The designer's appetite for restoring the architectural splendor of Paris — and deepening affection for the school's Left Bank environs — was ignited during construction on his European flagship on the Boulevard Saint-Germain, which involved a painstaking restoration of a 17th-century town house.
"When we did that store, it was quite an amazing thing because there were so many things buried below," the designer said of the 23,000-square-foot unit, which opened in 2010, complete with a 128-seat Ralph's eatery in its leafy courtyard.
While Ralph Lauren Corp. has not disclosed financial details, it is understood the improvements to Beaux-Arts will represent a financial commitment of several million dollars.
"This place really needed work so I feel really good about what I have done," Lauren enthused, lauding the institution's "amazing history."
The origins of the school stretch back to 1648, when King Louis XIV was said to have recruited architecture graduates to decorate the royal apartments at Versailles. Its mission has long been to educate the most talented students in drawing, painting, sculpture, engraving and other media.
"And it's right around the corner from where I have my store," Lauren noted.
The designer, who famously started out selling men's neckwear out of a drawer in the Empire State Building, said he relates strongly to the Beaux-Arts, given that it provides opportunities to students wishing to express their creativity.
"I know what it was like for me starting out. I didn't have the money, nor the wherewithal to do all the things I wanted to do," he said. "To help young people going through [school] is a very wonderful thing. To help one of the most culturally important places in France was also very important. And it's badly in need of help."

09.05.12 (via INDYCAR) - Shouts of "USA, USA" drowned the public-address announcer's remarks as Ryan Hunter-Reay joined the on-stage celebration holding an American flag stretched behind his back.
On Labor Day weekend, the 31-year-old Floridian had to work exceptionally hard for his fourth IZOD IndyCar Series victory of the season after starting 10th in the 75-lap Grand Prix of Baltimore on a 2.04-mile temporary street circuit that invited calamity at all 13 of its turns.
Somehow he avoided the pitfalls – there were nine full-course cautions – and any pratfalls in the No. 28 Team DHL/Sun Drop Citrus Soda car during a period when sections of the course glistened from a brief shower to not only take the checkered flag in the penultimate race of the season but rise back into serious championship contention.
There's a 17-point deficit to make up on front-runner Will Power in the MAV TV 500 INDYCAR World Championships at Auto Club Speedway on Sept. 15. Doable, yes, but like the Baltimore race it won't be easy.
It is the seventh consecutive year that the championship will be decided in the season finale.
Power, the championship runner-up the past two years to Dario Franchitti, clinches his first series title if he finishes first or second in the 200-lap race under the lights on the 2-mile oval. Beyond that scenario is a myriad of possibilities, including a tiebreaker coming into play ala 2006. Hunter-Reay's most direct route to the title is to win and sweep the three bonus points (1 for pole, 2 for most laps led) while Power finishes fourth or lower.
"We have a 17‑point lead and it's going to be interesting, a 500‑mile race," said Power, who started from the pole and placed sixth in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske car at Baltimore. "Maybe it will be the first last race that I finish because every year I get crashed out. So I'm determined this time to just finish the last race and finish it as the leader of the championship."
Power led Franchitti by 11 points entering the 2011 finale. He started the race on the 1.5-mile Kentucky Speedway oval from the pole but finished 19th after contact and, combined with Franchitti's runner-up race finish, wound up 18 points back. In the 2010 finale at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, Power crashed with 57 laps left and fell short by a meager five points.
"We both understand the bad luck thing," Power said of his rival. "It can be so cruel, but that is racing. The guy who has the least amount of those sort of days wins the championship. You can be as upset as you want at the time and say it not fair and bad luck and all this, but at the end of the day it kind of all works itself out."
Hunter-Reay has four Indy car oval victories, including two this year (Milwaukee and Iowa). Power's lone oval victory came in 2011 on the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway. Both test at the track they've never competed on (Power will be at Auto Club Speedway Sept. 6 and 12 and Hunter-Reay on Sept. 12).
Hunter-Reay also is a finalist in a championship subset as he's tied with Tony Kanaan for the lead in the A.J. Foyt Trophy for most points scored on ovals.
"The championship was on the line (at Baltimore) and that's really the only thing I'm fixated on winning," Hunter-Reay said. "This is all I've worked for my entire life. I haven't been nervous at all or anything. I've just been enjoying it and driving 110 percent and really getting along with the cars and feel like I'm in rhythm with the car. Hopefully, we'll have that at Fontana, too."

Left-leaning group plans 'speak out' against both Colorado Dems and Republicans
Posted By Kurtis Lee On December 1, 2011 @ 11:16 am In 2012 Colorado Congressional Election,Colorado Government,Colorado Politics,Elections | 7 Comments
MoveOn.org [1], a left-leaning public policy group, plans to hold demonstrations today at the congressional offices of both Colorado Democrats [2] and Republicans [3] to speak out against what they feel have been the ills of Washington, which to no surprise, are plenty.
Topics of interest: the federal deficit, the lack of job creation and budget cuts that hurt those in the middle class who are lucky enough to have jobs.
It's in these areas that the organization says congressional Democrats "have bought into Republicans' false 'deficit crisis' narrative calling for disproportionate budget cuts on the backs of working people."
"I just don't think that the Dems have taken a strong enough stance on jobs," said Ken Connell, a council organizer for MoveOn's Denver Metro Council.
Connell and fellow organizers plan to rally at the offices of Democratic Reps. Diana DeGette [4] of Denver and Ed Perlmutter [5] of Golden.
MoveOn also plans to speak out at Republican Rep. Mike Coffman [6]'s office. Yesterday the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee targeted Coffman for his "budget priorities" [7]which they claim contributed the failure of the bipartisan congressional "supercommittee."

A nation more united than before
Sunday, April 28, 2013
Poke a stick into a bee hive and chances are you will get stung.
With the city in lockdown, we heard no complaints. And when the arrest of the lone surviving bomber came, it seemed no surprise the tip came from a civilian instinctively doing his duty.
There is the image of Big Papi — David Ortiz — who drew a pass from the FCC for saying on air before the Red Sox played Kansas City: "This is our f - - - - - city. And no one is going to dictate our freedom." And later during the game came another unforgettable moment: Neil Diamond leading the crown singing, "Sweet Caroline," the unofficial anthem for the Boston Red Sox.

This week has been flush with stories about Jessica Simpson's body.
The newest member of the Weight Watchers family has been out and about, making her way across talk shows and tabloids discussing her road to recovery.
Has her body been put through rigorous tests? Cancer treatment? A disfiguring and debilitating horse-riding accident? A series of swollen bee stings?
No. The answer to all these questions is a resounding no.
Here's the thing. And you're going to feel weird about it.
Thing is, she had a baby. A live, human baby.
(Aside: And she put that baby in a bikini and took a picture and then people were in a real uproar because everyone is a complete idiot and I don't think I should have to go into my feelings on people in bikinis.
Leave Baby Maxwell and her yellow not polka dot bikini alone! You are sexualizing her with your sexualizing issues! End rant!)
Ok. I'm back. Focus.
Baby Weight Insulting to the World
When people have babies their bodies change.
They have an entire other human being living inside of them, so they have to eat more food. They are, as the saying goes, eating for two.
They have a different lifestyle. It's a big change.
They can't get drunk to escape the sad times and the hard times either. Which can be really hard when all a person wants to do is enjoy a tipple and pass out.
So they don't have narcotic vices. But they can eat.
Apparently Jessica Simpson ate a lot. Good for her. Eating is a very enjoyable activity.
And then after all the eating and gestating she gave birth. So she had a baby. And she had to bounce back.
Back to what? Why her former self of course!
Why? Because she put on Baby WeightTM. And it's insulting to the world.
If Baby Weight Isn't Eliminated, the Terrorists Win
Even though she irrevocably changed, because she is now a mother, her body is not allowed to comply with that.
Nope. She is required to transform her body, again. After all that other body morph stuff she already went through during that whole pregnancy thing.
Baby WeightTM. It's the enemy. If it's not eliminated, the terrorists win.
It spreads Ebola!
Sure, carrying a healthy baby to term is like, pretty fancy science, but it's not as fancy or important as losing weight.
Baby WeightTM. Losing weight is like curing cancer or fighting off a bear that's trying to tear apart your entire family.
Instead of worrying about this, how about a new thing. It's controversial, but I think it might work.
Let's Move On
I think we should all agree to never use the term Baby WeightTM again.
Ok? I think we can do this. Then we can just move on with our lives. And so can other women, the ones who've given birth.
If we can achieve this one simple thing, then new mothers can focus on other important life things, instead of dwelling on Baby WeightTM.
Like setting their PVRs and talking to friends and walking around outside. Oh yeah, and raising their brand new humans!
It might seem hard at first. But I'm pretty sure with a little practice and solidarity this is a goal we can achieve.
And then we can move on to eliminating other terms from our vocabulary.
Let's Burn Down the Offices of Life & Style
Let's never talk about Bikini BodsTM again.
Let's cut the best and worst Bikini BodsTM. In fact, let's burn down the offices of Life & Style using those very issues, with their humiliating photographs and absurd Photoshop efforts as the kindling to spark the flame.
And let's also never use the phrase Sick SkinnyTM. Or Celebrity DietTM.
If we can cut these nefarious phrases out of our vocabulary then we won't have to look at any more articles about cutting certain foods out of our diets to look like some person that has a team of people helping them look like that.
For the greater good, we must stay strong. We must use our words wisely.
Note: All tabloid phrases are proper nouns as I'm pretty sure they've been trademarked by someone at some media outlet in the years since they've been in use.
There is no way when slammed together that these words are not proper nouns. That would make it so confusing.

When the iPad first launched, there was some muddle on the App Store about how to distinguish regular iPhone-sized apps from iPad apps. After some experimentation (XL was floated for a while), most developers settled on using "HD" to denote iPad-specific apps. For example, "Angry Birds HD" is Angry Birds…for iPad.
Now EA Games has to go and mess things up with NCAA® Football by EA SPORTS HD. Guess what? It's an iPhone 4-exclusive title.
Does your head hurt yet?
Look, EA, we get it. Your football game has fancy graphics that take advantage (nay, require!) the iPhone 4's Retina display. And I know that you're a gigantic company, but big companies have to follow the rules, too. And the rules of the App Store, informal though they are, state that the "HD" moniker is reserved for iPad titles.
This does bring up an interesting point, though—how do we differentiate between all of these platforms? We have apps for iPad, for all iPhones, for iPhone 4's; and then we have universal apps, some of which are optimized for the iPhone 4's Retina display and some which aren't. And what about the next iPhone and iPad? My guess: other than "HD" for iPad, we'll have to rely on app descriptions, unless Apple steps in.
Still, EA, as it stands now "HD" signifies an iPad release. You're doing it wrong!

Eugene Terpeny
Ella Jane Terpeny (known as Jane)
Alice L. Terpeny (The verbal history noted above can be read in its entirety on Alice's page).
Eugene Terpeny was born in Syracuse, New York in 1849. The next notation of him is in the 1855 Census for Cicero, Ulster County, New York where he is listed as 6 year old Eugene Tarpenny, along with his parents Daniel and Matilda Tarpenny.
A verbal family history taken by Bertha Bostworth of Eugene's daughter, Alice Terpeny, states that an "overly strict Corning (of the Corning glass fame) Aunt raised him until he was 14, when he ran away to sea wearing a top hat, the story goes."
The next documentation that I have of him is his marriage in Beverly Mass. on July 23, 1887 to Ella Frances Moon. He is listed on his marriage certificate as a Shoemaker. His age is 38. His birthplace is listed as Syracuse, NY, his father as Daniel Terpeny and his mother as Matilda, last name unknown. View the marriage certificate.
Eugene became the lighthouse keeper or assistant lighthouse keeper at Baker's Island Light in Salem, MA around 1887.
On October 10, 1894 he was commended by the Treasury Department office of the Lighthouse Board for heroics in the rescue of the schooner "Hero." The medal and commendation are framed and in the family's possession.
He remained there until 1896, when he became the lighthouse keeper at
Cuttyhunk Island off of New Bedford, MA. Alice states in her verbal
history that the move was prompted by Eugene's growing family and the fact that
there was no town or school on Baker's Island. Alice says of the trip
"From Baker's Island we went on a train to Boston and down to New
Bedford, and the the government service steamer brought us, and my mother's
furniture and everything and brought it right up to the West End and landed us
near the boathouse. So when you landed up there we had not seen the house yet. I
think my mother thought she was going to the middle of nowhere. She didn't
bring any big things. Some of it was put into the boathouse until the weather
was good, you know, but a lot of it went by the rowboat in the pond."
I do, in fact, have a newspaper article (view it here) in which Eugene Terpeny was left $30,000 by a Lavina T. Corning of California, out of a total estate of $200,000. It states Lavina was a native of Syracuse, New York, and all of her family is still living there with the exception of one branch of the family in Virginia and one in New Bedford. It states one of the bequests was to go to Eugene Terpeny or his heirs, and states Eugene was formerly the lighthouse keeper at Cuttyhunk, but died "several years ago." The article is not dated, but as Eugene died on August 29, 1909, it would have been "several years" after that. This appears to substantiate the "Corning Aunt" connection spoken of by Eugene's daughter, Alice.
Eugene died on Cuttyhunk Island on August 29, 1909 and is buried in the cemetery there. His Certificate of Death lists his age as 60 years, 5 months and 29 days. It lists his father as Daniel Terpeny, birthplace unknown and his mother as Matilda Goslin, birthplace Canada. His wife is Ella Francis Terpeny and his occupation is a lighthouse keeper - Cuttyhunk Island.

Authorities say a deputy shot and killed the man after he fired once at the officers.

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge struck down New York City's pioneering ban on big sugary drinks Monday just hours before it was supposed to take effect, handing a defeat to health-minded Mayor Michael Bloomberg and creating uncertainty for restaurants that had already ordered smaller cups and changed their menus.
State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling said the 16-ounce limit on sodas and other sweet drinks arbitrarily applies to only some sugary beverages and some places that sell them.
"The loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the stated purpose of this rule," Tingling wrote in a 36-page ruling that examined the scope of power that should be afforded an administrative board for regulations. The ruling was seen as a victory for the beverage industry, restaurants and other business groups that called the rule unfair and wrong-headed.
In addition, the judge said the Bloomberg-appointed Board of Health intruded on the City Council's authority when it imposed the rule, citing in part a case from the 1980s which questioned whether a state public health council had the authority to regulate smoking in public places.
The city vowed to appeal the decision, issued by New York state's trial-level court.
"We believe the judge is totally in error in how he interpreted the law, and we are confident we will win on appeal," Bloomberg said, adding that the city would emphasize to higher courts "that people are dying every day. This is not a joke."
For now, though, the ruling means the ax won't fall Tuesday on supersized sodas, sweetened teas and other high-sugar beverages in restaurants, movie theaters, corner delis and sports arenas.
"The court ruling provides a sigh of relief to New Yorkers and thousands of small businesses in New York City that would have been harmed by this arbitrary and unpopular ban," the American Beverage Association and other opponents said.
While some eateries had held off making changes because of the court challenge, some restaurants had begun using smaller glasses for full-sugar soda. Dunkin' Donuts shops have been telling customers they will have to sweeten and flavor their own coffee. Coca-Cola has printed posters explaining the rules.
Frames Bowling Lounge developed — and is keeping — a slate of fresh-squeezed juices as an alternative to pitchers of sodas for family parties, investing staff time, buying new glasses and changing menus.
"All that cost a lot of money — but you have to go with the flow," executive general manager Ayman Kamel said. Customers have started calling about the new juices, and "we're all very excited about it," he added.
Bloomberg urged businesses to comply despite the court ruling, and not just because the city may yet prevail.
"If you know what you're doing is harmful to people's health, common sense says if you care, you might want to stop doing that," he said.
The first of its kind in the country, the restriction has sparked reaction from pizzeria counters to late-night talk shows, celebrated by some as a bold attempt to improve people's health and derided by others as another "nanny state" law from Bloomberg during his 11 years in office.
On the "Late Show with David Letterman" Monday night, Bloomberg defended the ban but he also joked about his own "addiction."

Very beautiful, but she made her breasts a little too large. For me a little smaller and more natural would be nice. My cock is rock hard after watching though.

If it has to do with the sever down problem when do you think I will be back?
Thankfull for any help!
Is this your first index, or have there been changes you're waiting to see?
I imagine the best answer is "Don't Panic". There are hundreds of examples on this forum alone of sites going in and out.
Lately G has been testing things, perhaps for the new algos, and freshbot is definately acting weird. I've heard from other WMs that they've been dry since the last update also.
While being down for a Dcrawl doesn't help, it may not be the reason you're out at the mo. Just hang on, if you don't appear after the next, then post G something Via their site (State WebmasterWorld they say..)

The Colorado attorney general's office is investigating 51 complaints against Westwood College in the past three years.
Attorney general's spokesman Mike Saccone says the complaints were broad, but most said they were misled about tuition costs and the ability for credits to transfer. The complaints are not a public record.
School spokesman Gil Rudawsky said the college couldn't comment because it hadn't seen the complaints.
Denver-based Westwood has 17,000 students enrolled in online classes.
The attorney general's office and the Better Business Bureau also have received a handful of complaints about other for-profit colleges, including one against Everest College and three against Colorado Technical University.

The Simulation Economy
Carlos permalinkJanuary 6, 2013
I just found your site and I find your blogs excellent. I would like to contrast todays blog "The simulation economy" with your blog "The lesser known revolutions that created the modern world".
The point of the contrast is that today's blog reflects the reduction ad nausea that innovation is a singular business event – where culture, science, technological moment, necessity and overall world view, are not taken into the equation. In fact, what some people call "timing" is condensing all of the above and the ceasing of opportunity which then creates the business event.
The reductionist approach from many management or business guru point of view is that it is only the market, stupid. Or further, it is only the "Buzz" of the market and management zombies latest capture of a new trend. But true innovation really depends on much more than the processes in business – such processes convergence into the "office in a Box" in my view consist only of a time stamped advance in running things, rather than the stuff of true innovation.
True innovation is when discovery and invention enters utility – and not just making the already known to be improved. That may be product innovation but not true innovation. Example: solid state physics when utilized quantum mechanics created the path to semiconductors – this is a discovery phase. Then, when added to the need to amplify signals and make faster switches, the transistor was invented. By the time the integrated circuit became used, the innovation was fully accomplished and applications went everywhere, creating the modern world.
So, some of your past blogs show a brilliant link to the substrates that lead to innovation, and in their sense, the problem today is not the productivity paradox but the paradox of productivity, as we re-define what is in productivity that is so overwhelmingly a measure of GDP over quality of life, world culture and the human experience in all its dimensions.
Robert Lewis Reply:
January 14th, 2013 at 5:54 amWell written article and interesting, but I support Carlos' response strongly. There seems to be an underlying wish in the new collective psyche to become the slaves of technology rather than its master. (Believe me, if ever computers can do everything for you, you will be the slave (the robot), not the computer. (The always-on mobile is just a primitive example!)
Also, I read in a Deloitee report last year that 65% of business computer simulations don't work for the top companies that use it – at least not yet.Human life is complex, always has been and always be so. The achievement of Happiness, the prime objective ,(otherwise, why bother to live.) is not a zero sum game and does not rely on 100% logic, nor big bucks. If we can use technology to stimulate that 90% of the brain that the average human supposedly does not use, that would be a giant step in the right direction – rather than trying to pass on thinking work to robots. (Basic operational failures are already being transferred from people to machine, e.g. "the systems down" / " there's a power cut." Somehow, if it's 'that silly machine again', it's no-one's fault.
I tentatively suggest that one result of this is the oft-commented, marked decline in both the visibility, transparency and quality / imagination of senior management leadership over the last 20 years across all types of industry and organisation; (i.e. if the 'metrics' look right no one can blame us, syndrome; remember the lazy travel agency slag and "the computer says so", in the Little Britain series?)
To confuse speed and convenience with productivity is a fundamental flaw in thought – otherwise, playthings like Facebook, iPhones and tablets would be really contributing to serious thought. Too often in business, such 'convenience' merely enables not very intelligent people (at all levels) to make hasty decisions, under the delusion that the same technology can easily correct the negative results – usually by involving (and unnecessarily inconveniencing more people or communities after the damage has been done.)
Data is not wisdom – it's not even knowledge; it's just input, and if your cranial OPS is f—d, no knowledge, much less wisdom (lessons from applied knowledge) can possibly emerge.

January 14th, 2013 at 7:10 amThanks Robert. Some interesting points. However, you use simulations to eliminate possibilities. No one thinks that it should replace real world experience altogether.
As for now, if you go to the movies, have bought music from any major label, sent or received a package by a major overnight courier or, in fact, participated in modern life in any way, you've bought the product of a simulation (i.e. they all have specific versions of simulation software for their industries).

Very nice article with very strong point of understanding today's reality.
Let me add some ideas. The phenomena of productivity paradox is the effect of assimetric digitalization of the market ("demand and supply"). We have already the digitized "supply" but still anolog "demand" based on old-fashioned marketing.
To provide the digitized "demand" we need the digitized "customer" and fully new digitized marketing and management.
The new digital market will operate with global E-companies (digital agents) and Digital Intelligence for conducting and processing deals and providing arbitrage.
Greg Reply:
January 14th, 2013 at 9:26 amInteresting ideas as always, Sergei. Although, there is significant evidence that the productivity paradox no longer exists and hasn't for a while. The problem now seems to be that the use of robots (both the hardware and software varieties) seem to be crowding out human employment.
– Greg
Sergei P. Reply:
January 14th, 2013 at 10:49 amUp to now the main accent in IT was the computing. But according to the Digital Laws computing has exceeded already the expectations of customers and is not as actual as in the past. Robots will be designed within the new management Cybernetics and will operate in information ecosystem with institutional (legal) basis.
Today's Internet is flat with non-structured content turning into the useless Big Data. Contextual, semantic compression of information and business utilization of the Data is available within the ecosystem with some (4 or 5) levels of self-control: agent activity, community relationships, monitoring, arbitrage, etc. (In this case it can be interesting to look at Stafford Beer's Viable System Model in "Brain of the Firm").
Big Data and mobile computing need the semantic compression of information, Cloud Computing – creation the homestatic self-developing ecosystems, Machine Intelligence – managing the socialized, man-sized systems (where man is a main part of activity).
So, semantic, institutional and digitized economy will significantly increase the employment for new digitized marketing and new management. Today's corporate management model is hierarchical and very slow in comparison with global innovative processes.
I heard interesting idea that the main driver of the market is the Idea which generates the big profit. Idea that Internet can generate more profit within the new Digital Market, it seems to me, should become popular as a way out of crisis…
