Vol. 25 , No. 06
From the Director
I hope you will come prepared to be challenged, inspired, informed, provoked — anything but indifferent — to the range of programs the Athenaeum has in store for the CMC community in 2010. An abundance of ideas and suggestions continue to flow from many sources, and what appears on the calendar represents interests and points of view from many constituencies on campus.
Everyone is thrilled with the installation of paintings by artist Ertai Gao — a fitting welcome to the new year. Ertai Gao was a guest at the Athenaeum in November following the publication of his memoir In Search of My Homeland (2009).
The Athenaeum is a precious resource for the intellectual life at CMC and it is my fervent hope that you will take full advantage of the rich and wonderful opportunities it has to offer.
Finding Your Path to Peak Performance
Jeff Greenwald is a nationally recognized sport psychology consultant, former world-ranked tennis professional, author, and clinical psychologist. As a tennis player, he was ranked #1 in his age group by the International Tennis Federation and #1 in the United States by the USTA in 2002. He is the author of both Fearless Tennis: The 5 Mental Keys to Unlocking Your Potential (2002) and The Best Tennis of Your Life: 50 Mental Strategies for Fearless Tennis (2007), and is on the International Speaker's Bureau with Wilson Sporting Goods.
Greenwald has conducted one-on-one performance enhancement sessions and interactive group workshops with athletes in tennis, baseball, soccer, golf, gymnastics, and basketball. In addition to the sports world, his seminars are hosted by corporations looking to raise their employees' performance. Some of Greenwald's clients have included the United States Tennis Association, U.C. Berkeley, UCLA Medical Center, Merrill Lynch, and KNTV/NBC. He lives with his wife and two children in San Rafael, California.
Jeff Greenwald's visit to CMC is jointly sponsored by CMS Department of Athletics and the Athenaeum. During his campus visit he will share the anatomy of peak performance and discuss the universal mind-traps everyone faces under performance conditions, drawing from his experience as an athlete and clinician. In a collaborative style Greenwald's Athenaeum presentation will explore how we can all improve our performance and increase our level of enjoyment as we learn to master our own mind.
Songs from the Middle East
JOHN BILEZIKJIAN, oudist
HELEN BILIZIKJIAN, vocalist
John Bilezikjian, acclaimed musician, singer, composer, and teacher, may be the most prominent Oudist of his generation, performing for some 51 years on this ancient eleven stringed Persian fretless instrument dating back some 2,000 years. The oud is performed with an eagle's quill. His mastery of this ancient instrument is the result of decades of practice and dedication to the art, elevating it to the concert stage in performances with such distinguished ensembles as the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Renowned for his diversity of styles, Bilezikjian sings in 11 different languages including Arabic, Persian, Armenian, and English, and whose recordings include work with artists Leonard Cohen and Placido Domingo, to name a few.
Helen Bilezikjian is an accomplished singer of opera, folk, sacred, and secular music. She began studying voice for a career in opera at the age of eight. Possessing an incredible 3-octave range, she was awarded a Los Angeles City Music Scholarship at 15 years of age. She is the founder, general manager, and performer for the non profit organization Opera by the Sea, and also performs with ensembles that include Long Beach Civic Light Opera, San Diego Opera, Lindy Opera Company, and the Kansas City Opera.
In a concert jointly sponsored by the Arabic Program at CMC and the Athenaeum, John and Helen Bilezikjian will sing and perform songs that are Armenian, Turkish, Arabic, as well as selections from other Middle-Eastern countries. They will also speak about the rhythms, the folklore and what many of the songs mean in English. This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to experience music that has been a part of Middle Eastern cultures for centuries performed by these two distinguished musicians.
With Justice for All: Human Rights and Civil Rights at Home and Abroad
The Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson, president and founder of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, and one of America's foremost political figures, will deliver CMC's 22nd annual address commemorating the birth date of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. CMC first hosted Rev. Jackson in honor of Dr. King on January 17, 1989.
Over the past 30 years, Jackson has played a role in movements for empowerment, peace, civil rights, gender equality, and economic and social justice.
Jackson began his activism as a student leader in the sit-in movement and continued as a young organizer for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference as an assistant to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He went on to direct Operation Breadbasket and subsequently founded People United to Save Humanity (PUSH) in Chicago in 1971. PUSH's goals were economic empowerment and expanding educational and employment opportunities for the disadvantaged and communities of color.
In 1984, Jackson founded the National Rainbow Coalition, a national social justice organization devoted to political empowerment, education and changing public policy. In September 1996, the Rainbow Coalition and Operation PUSH merged into the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition to continue both philosophies and maximize its resources.
Rev. Jackson advocated nationalized health care, the war on drugs, dialogue with the Soviet Union, and negotiations with the Middle East long before they became popular positions.
Jackson's two presidential campaigns broke new ground in U.S. politics. His 1984 campaign won 3.5 million votes and registered more than one million new voters, and helped the Democratic Party regain control of the Senate in 1986. His 1988 candidacy won seven million votes and registered two million new voters, helping sweep hundreds of elected officials into office. This was a historic victory, with Jackson coming in first or second in 46 out 54 contests.
A respected world leader, Jackson has acted many times as an international diplomat in sensitive situations. For example, in 1984 he secured the release of captured Navy Lt. Robert Goodman from Syria, as well as the release of 48 Cuban and Cuban-American prisoners in 1984. He was the first American to bring hostages out of Kuwait and Iraq in 1990. In an impressive victory that same year, he also was elected to the post of U.S. Senator from Washington, D.C., a position also known as "Statehood Senator." The office was created to advocate statehood for the District of Columbia.
A renowned orator, he has received numerous honors for his work in human and civil rights and for nonviolent social change. In 1991, the U.S. Post Office put his likeness on a pictorial postal cancellation, only the second living person to receive such an honor.
Since 1992, Jackson has hosted Both Sides with Jesse Jackson on CNN. He is also the author of Keep Hope Alive (1989) and Straight from the Heart (1987). In 1996, Jackson co-authored the book Legal Lynching: Racism, Injustice, and the Death Penalty with his son, U.S. Representative Jesse L. Jackson Jr.
The dinner preceding Jackson's remarks is reserved for members of the CMC community. Jackson's address begins at 6:45 p.m., is free and open to the public, with seating on a first come basis. Overflow seating, with a live feed to the event, will be available in McKenna Auditorium.
Dead Man Walking: The Journey Continues
Sister Helen Prejean, a native of Louisiana, is known internationally for her tireless work against the death penalty. She was instrumental in sparking national dialogue on the issue and in shaping the Catholic Church's newly vigorous opposition to all state executions.
Sister Helen is a member of the Congregation of St. Joseph. She spent her first 24 years with the Sisters teaching religion to junior high school students and working within her community, first as religious education director and then as formation director. At the age of 40, she realized that being on the side of poor people was an essential part of the Gospel. She moved into the St. Thomas Housing Project in New Orleans and began working at Hope House, a center that assists public housing residents.
During this time, she was asked to correspond with a death row inmate. She agreed and in 1982, she started visiting Patrick Sonnier in Louisiana's Angola Prison. She became his spiritual adviser, worked to prevent his execution, and finally walked with him to the electric chair. She did the same thing with a second prisoner, Robert Willie. Concerned with the plight of murder victims' families she founded "Survive", which provides counseling and support for grieving families.
She then wrote a book about her experience, Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States, which Random House published in 1993. The book became a best seller, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and spawned an Oscar-winning movie and an internationally-acclaimed opera. Now Tim Robbins has made it into a play that is being performed by high school and college students across the country.
Since 1984, Sister Helen has divided her time between campaigning against the death penalty and counseling individual death row prisoners. She has accompanied six more men to their deaths. In doing so, she began to suspect that some of those executed were not guilty. This realization inspired her second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions, which was released by Random House in December of 2004.
She is a regular interviewee and contributor to national and international publications, and has become a recurring presence on major TV news shows. Besides her degrees in English and religious education, Sister Helen has received honorary degrees from universities all over the world and numerous awards. Sister Helen lives in New Orleans and works with the Death Penalty Discourse Center, the Moratorium Campaign and the Dead Man Walking Play Project. She is presently at work on another book - River of Fire: My Spiritual Journey to Death Row.
The film Dead Man Walking (1995) will be shown at McAlister Center on Monday, January 25th at 7:30 p.m. This event is free and open to all.
Taiwan's Soft Power and Cross-Strait Relations
The rapid improvement in ties between mainland China and Taiwan since 2008 is one of the most encouraging geopolitical developments in East Asia. Not too long ago, the Taiwan Strait was considered one of the most dangerous flash points in the world. The pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party government in power between 2000 and 2008 was pursuing a course of policy that could drag the United States into a high-stake and potentially catastrophic confrontation with mainland China, which claims sovereignty over Taiwan. However, since President Ma Ying-jeou, a Harvard-educated lawyer, led the Kuomintang in a landslide victory in March 2008, his government has embarked on a policy to reduce tensions with Beijing and improve economic and cultural exchanges across the Taiwan Strait. In less than two years, Taipei and Beijing have resumed commercial flights and shipping. Negotiations on a free-trade agreement have begun as well. What explains Taiwan's remarkable ability in maintaining its de-facto independence while improving relations with the mainland? Professor Yun-han Chu, Taiwan's preeminent political scientist, attributes this to the new government's exercise of soft power.
Yun-han Chu is Distinguished Research Fellow of the Institute of Political Science at Academia Sinica and Professor of Political Science at National Taiwan University. He also serves concurrently as President of Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange. Professor Chu joined the faculty of National Taiwan University in 1987. He was a visiting associate professor at Columbia University in 1990-1991 and has held a visiting professorship at Peking University since 2007. Professor Chu specializes in politics of Greater China, East Asian political economy, international political economy, and democratization. He currently serves on the editorial board of Pacific Affairs, International Studies Perspective, China Review, Journal of Contemporary China, Journal of East Asian Studies and Journal of Democracy. He is the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of thirteen books. Among his recent English publications are Consolidating Third-Wave Democracies (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997), The New Chinese Leadership: Challenges and Opportunities after the 16th Party Congress (Cambridge University Press 2004) and How East Asians View Democracy (Columbia University Press, 2008).
Professor Chu's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Freeman Foundation and the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.

The Path to Leadership Mastery
MORGAN McCALL, JR.
If leadership were a gift that was easily identified or a commodity that could be taught in programs and courses, then either selection or training would have produced a bevy of outstanding leaders. Clearly that is not the case. In his Athenaeum address, Professor Morgan McCall will suggest that leadership can be learned, but not by everyone; that the primary teacher is experience, but not just any experience; and that the path to mastery of leadership has much in common with the acquisition of expertise in any field.
Morgan McCall, Professor of Management and Organization in the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California, specializes in executive leadership. He was previously Director of Research and a Senior Behavioral Scientist at the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, North Carolina.
McCall writes about the early identification, assessment, and development of executives, as well as the cause for their possible downfall. Among his published books are Frequent Flyers: Developing Global Executives, co-authored with George Hollenbeck (November 2001), Advances in Global Leadership, Volume II, co-edited with William Mobley (July 2001), and High Flyers: Developing the Next Generation of Leaders (1998) (translated into Japanese, Dutch, and Thai, and winner of the 1998 Athena Award for Excellence in Mentoring). He co-authored The Lessons of Experience: How Successful Executives Develop on the Job (1988), Whatever it Takes: The Realities of Managerial Decision Making (1992), Leadership: Where Else Can We Go? (1978), and Key Events in Executives' Lives (1987).
Dr. McCall is a sought-after speaker and consultant. He has worked with a variety of organizations including Amgen, Boeing, British Airways, Cisco Systems, Hewlett-Packard, Johnson & Johnson, Sun Microsystems, Royal Bank of Canada, and Toyota Motor Sales. He works with senior executives to develop corporate strategies and systems for executive development.
McCall received his B.S. from Yale and his Ph.D. from Cornell University. He is active in a variety of professional organizations including the American Psychological Association and has served on the editorial boards of Academy of Management Review and the Executive Management Journal. His visit to CMC is sponsored by the Kravis Leadership Institute.
The Past and Future of Terrorism Research
Todd Sandler is a specialist in the study of terrorism. His work on terrorism dates back to early 1980s. In his Athenaeum lecture, he will highlight five areas where economic analysis of terrorism has had the greatest policy relevance during the last 30 years. These areas involve evaluating the effectiveness of counterterrorism actions, identifying the causes of terrorism, measuring the economic ramification of terrorism, analyzing the time-series dynamics of terrorist events, and formulating game-theoretic representations of terrorism. The novelty of this approach lies in synthesizing past research and in identifying the key policy-relevant issues that require additional analysis. These issues include understanding the operation of global terrorist networks, ascertaining the payback of counterterrorism strategies, evaluating the returns from alternative forms of international cooperation, and investigating the strategic aspects of suicide terrorism.
Sandler holds the Vibhooti Shukla Chair in Economics and Political Economy at the University of Texas at Dallas. In 1971, his received his Ph.D. at SUNY Binghamton. He has held positions at Arizona State University, University of Wyoming, Iowa State University, Australian National University, University of York, UK, University of Southern California, and elsewhere. He has written or edited twenty-one books, including The Political Economy of Terrorism (2005), Global Collective Action (2004), Economic Concepts for the Social Sciences (2001), and Global Challenges: An Approach to Environmental, Political, and Economic Problems (1997). He has authored or co-authored over two hundred journal articles in economics and political science, many appearing in top journals. His work on terrorism dates back to early 1980s. In 2003, he was the co-recipient of the National Academy of Sciences Award for Behavioral Research Relevant to the Prevention of Nuclear War for his theoretical and statistical analysis of terrorism.

Accomplished referee Jonathan Kaplan will work with the Stormers forwards on Tuesday in order to help them adapt to the scrumming laws changes.
The Stormers struggled at this set-piece in last Friday's warm-up match against the Lions, with referee Jaco Peyper nailing the Cape pack at the point of engagement. Coach Allister Coetzee later explained that the scrum laws have changed slightly since last year, but that Sanzar had failed to notify the teams. In fact, Peyper only told Coetzee about these changes prior to kickoff, and so the Stormers were left to adapt as the game progressed.
Sanzar referees met at the end of last year to discuss the scrum and it was decided that the 'crouch, touch, pause, engage' call required a change in cadence. Special precautions will now also be taken to ensure there are no 'slingshot' manoeuvres where the No 8 slams into the second row; referees will be looking to front rows to initiate the shove.
'I feel we played well last week, but there are areas that require improvement like our scrumming,' said Coetzee. 'We've had a look and we will be having a live scrumming session [on Tuesday] and Jonathan Kaplan will be in to help us.
'We really need to work as a pack to get this right. It's all about the timing. I suppose the laws have been changed to make the scrum more stable and the potential for collapsed scrums is decreased when the force is no longer coming from behind in a slingshot motion. The props will initiate the hit.'
What will hamper the Stormers' strive for synergy is the fact that Coetzee is likely to make several changes to his side for this Saturday's game against the Cheetahs. Coetzee maintains that the entire squad needs to adapt to these scrumming laws, and that he also has to stick with his pre-season plans to give every player a fair amount of game-time.
Andries Bekker and Duane Vermeulen are back on the training paddock but will only start full contact sessions next week, while Dewaldt Duvenage and Wicus Blaauw are still training in isolation. The one previously injured player who is available is lock Rynhardt Elstadt, and Coetzee may push him into the line-up this Saturday.
In other departments, Coetzee is keen to see what some of the fringe players are capable of against Super Rugby opposition. Burton Francis and Gary van Aswegen have had chances in the the two previous games which means Demetri Catrakilis is in line to start at flyhalf against the Cheetahs. Similarly, Bolla Conradie and Louis Schreuder started against Boland and the Lions respectively, so Nic Groom will get a run at No 9 in the coming fixture.
Coetzee added that the combination that finishes the final pre-season match against the Kings is likely to resemble the team that fronts the Hurricanes on 25 February.

PEMBROKE – It's only been four games, but the 2013 University of North Carolina at Pembroke football team has already left its mark.
The No. 16-ranked Braves became the first in program history to start 4-0 Saturday with a 38-10 win over Wingate at Grace P. Johnson Stadium.
"I'm really proud of this team," said UNCP coach Pete Shinnick. "We've got 25 seniors and they made a commitment back in November when we walked off the field at West Liberty that wanted to be in a position like this and they have worked their tails off to get in this position.
"They get a lot of credit for where we are right now because they've shown up and worked hard every time out."
The Braves allowed only 27 yards and two first downs off 23 plays in the first half, stuffing runs at the line as receivers attempted catches in the shadows of the UNCP secondary. The Bulldog defense gained more yards than its offense did in the half, racking up 34 yards on two interceptions.
It was a trend the entire game as the air attack was grounded and the ground attack was pushed back, finishing the game with -18 rushing yards.
Though Wingate got 100 net yards in the second half, the Braves' lead never got below 18 points and the team had eight sacks, tying a single-game record. It included three sacks from Matt Turner, who is only the third player in program history to reach that mark.
"I was just seeing what coaches were telling us," Turner said. "The big emphasis this week was getting pressure on the quarterback. We got the calls and just tried to execute."
The focus, Shinnick said, was on stopping Wingate's complex routes early and credited much of the success to a gameplan from defensive coordinator Shane Richardson and defensive assistants O.C. Williams and Alex Krutsch.
"They've got a lot of underneath and over-the-top type routes and I don't know that when they caught the ball in the first half, if they got a yard after the guy caught it," he said. "Sometimes they lost yardage because we were driving them back. That's a great defensive scheme and that's understanding what Wingate wants to do offensively."
The Bulldogs' total yardage dropped from 567 last year to 127 this year.
The defense translated into offense as well.
UNCP's second touchdown of the game was on a 49-yard interception return by Darcus Elliot on a pass the deflected straight up off a receiver and into his hands.
In the third quarter, an interception by Quentin Pate gave UNCP the ball at the Wingate 11 and set up a touchdown that put the Braves up 28-3.
UNCP's offense looked slightly different with linemen George Champion and Wes Carter out, along with Elliott Powell and Demetrius Fairley both out at running.
Josh White and Lee James stepped in on the line and Rontonio Stanley and Tamari White played in the back, combining for 173 rushing yards.
Luke Charles went 19-for-36 passing with two interceptions and three touchdowns, though Shinnick felt like it wasn't one of his best days.
"When a guy can throw three touchdowns and not have one of his better games, we can build on that and we can work on that," Shinnick said.
B.J. Bunn led the Braves with 43 rushing yards.

Marysville schools may rethink Tomahawk mascot
Dan Bates / 2005 Herald file
Fans of Marysville-Pilchuck High School's Tomahawks volleyball team do the "Tomahawk chop" during a 2005 state tournament match at Comcast Arena in Everett. The state Board of Education recently passed a resolution urging school districts to stop using Native American mascot names.
They are Grizzlies at Glacier Peak. The high school logo is an aggressive display of the mascot's sharp claws.
Both schools are quite new to Snohomish County. Marysville Getchell opened in 2010, and the Snohomish district's Glacier Peak in 2008.
What if Marysville-Pilchuck High School were brand-new today? Would anyone choose Tomahawks as the name of its sports teams?
"I don't know how that name was chosen," said Gail Miller, assistant superintendent of the Marysville School District. "I know it was a long time ago."
The issue of American Indian names as school mascots, which has come up before in Marysville, is back in the news.
On Sept. 26, the state Board of Education passed a resolution urging school districts to quit using American Indian references for mascot names. The resolution has no teeth. Aaron Wyatt, board spokesman, was quoted in an Associated Press article as saying there would be no consequences for schools that keep Indian mascots.
The Washington board's action followed an Oregon Board of Education vote in May banning American Indian mascots, nicknames and logos. Schools there have five years to switch.
Miller said Friday the Marysville district plans to discuss the state board's recommendation with the Tulalip Tribes. "We'll begin that process, with our board and with the tribal board," she said.
The possibility of dumping the Tomahawks came up about a decade ago, Miller said. "That included some discussion with the Tulalip Tribes. At that point, there was not a lot of energy for it," she said.
Face paint or any Indian regalia is now banned at games, she said. In the past, fans at Marysville-Pilchuck sports events have been seen doing a gesture known as the "Tomahawk chop."
In 2004, a Seattle consulting company, Strategic Educational Investments, visited the Marysville-Pilchuck campus and talked with students and others before recommending that the school do more to combat perceptions of racism. Then-Principal Tracy Van Winkle asked for the report in her first year at the school.
Among other issues, Van Winkle said at the time she was troubled by how some students were treated when they visited classrooms to talk about a school decision to do away with a chant that accompanied a Tomahawk-chop cheer.
The Washington Board of Education first took action in 1993 when it passed a similar resolution. Meadowdale High School, in the Edmonds district, changed mascots from the Chiefs to the Mavericks after 1999.
"The interesting thing about this issue, there are a lot of opinions," Tulalip Tribes spokeswoman Francesca Hillery said Friday. "It's context-based. There is no unified voice for this issue."
Indeed, current Tulalip Tribes board member Don Hatch, interviewed by The Herald in 1993, stood up for the Tomahawks nickname.
"Native Americans have so many things taken away already," Hatch said in 1993, when he was a member of the Marysville School Board. "When you take away that, you take away another part of us. It's part of our people's notoriety," Hatch said of the Tomahawks name. "As long as it is not done in mockery," Hatch said in 1993.
In the years since, many opinions may have changed.
"Issues like this are always worth revisiting," Miller said.
Names using American Indian references can also be an honor, and the Marysville district has involved the Tulalip Tribes in making that happen.
About five years ago, the district needed to change the name of Marysville Junior High to bring consistency to its middle school system. The new name is Totem Middle School -- the mascot is the Thunderbird.
"In naming that school, we did go through a partnership with the Tulalip Tribes," Miller said. The tribes commemorated the new name by carving and raising a totem on school grounds, she said. "It was a joint discussion -- what it should be," Miller said.
With Columbus Day coming this week, Miller also talked about the broader issue of teaching history that may be troubling to many students -- whether the subject is slavery or the American Indian wars.
"It should be a balanced view, looking at the things that happened to all the groups involved," Miller said. "The way we study history has changed in the last few decades. I think we should study history in the broadest way possible."
And the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks? Should they be relegated to the past?
That's up to the community.
"Sensibilities do change," Miller said. "We have a deeper understanding of the impact. It's certainly worth a discussion."

Crayton named field Athlete of the Week
April 8, 2009
High Point, NC Pfeiffer Universitys Deandre Crayton has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas men's field Athlete of the Week during week number four in the 2009 outdoor season. Crayton, a freshman from Houston, TX, had an outstanding performance for Pfeiffer at the Aggie Relays hosted by North Carolina A&T University. Crayton competed in the high jump, long jump, and also ran the 800m leg on Pfeiffer's distance medley relay. Crayton's best long jump of the afternoon was a 6.58 meter/ 21' 7.25" which was good for 11th of 34 Division I and II competitors. His performance is one of the top long jumps for the conference this season. In the high jump, Crayton cleared 6'6" and finished 6th of 23 athletes. Crayton's jump of 6'6" was a personal best for him and was the best jump of the year for the Conference Carolinas.

Published June 2009
The research has not been able to answer this question definitively, mainly because it is not ethically permissible to randomly
grant or deny protective orders to compare results. Furthermore, these orders may "work" at different levels.
First, in terms of their effectiveness in deterring repeat abuse, before and after studies suggest that protective orders
may deter certain abusers. In Travis County, Tex., over a period of two years before and after order issuance, physical abuse
dropped from 68 percent to 23 percent after the orders were obtained, if victims maintained the order. If the abusers were
also arrested at the time of the order issuance, the physical abuse diminished further; if they had children, it diminished
less. [26] These studies cannot reveal whether or not the abuse would have naturally declined overtime without the orders because, for
example, the victims are more likely to have left their abusers when they obtained the orders.
Several Seattle studies compared women who obtained orders to women who were abused (as indicated by a police incident report)
but did not obtain orders. They found that women with permanent orders were less likely to be physically abused than women
without them. However, women who had temporary orders that lasted only two weeks were more likely to be psychologically abused
than women who did not obtain any orders. The women who did not obtain orders appeared at higher risk for abuse, involvement
with alcohol and drugs, more likely to have been assaulted and injured as a result of the study incident, and less likely
to have been married to their abuser. The study did not look at violations of protective orders that did not involve physical
assaults. [120] The second Seattle study found that the orders were more effective nine months after they were obtained than during the first
five-month period, significantly reducing the likelihood of contact, threats with weapons, injuries and the need for medical
care. [121]
Finally, several other studies that compared women who maintained orders and those who dropped them, or did not return for
permanent orders, found that order retention made no difference in reabuse rates. [105, 134] A Rhode Island study involving criminal no-contact orders, issued automatically during a domestic violence arrest, also found
that whether victims allowed the orders to be continued for the length of the criminal case and probationary sentences that
followed (usually one year) or not, the reabuse rates did not vary. [141]
At least one study suggests that the specific stipulations of the protective orders may make a difference. Specifically, victims
are more likely to be reabused if their orders bar abusive contact but not all contact. Compared to women whose orders barred
all contact, those that barred only abusive contact were significantly more likely to suffer psychological violence, physical
violence, sexual coercion and injuries within one year. [150]
Nonetheless, the research consistently finds that victims largely express satisfaction with civil orders, even if they are
violated by their abusers. [134] In the multisite study in Massachusetts, 86 percent of the women who obtained a permanent order said that the order either
stopped or reduced the abuse, notwithstanding the fact that 59 percent called police to report an order violation. Upon further
questioning, the women expressed the feeling that the order demonstrated to the abuser that the "law was on her side." [182] In a multistate study, victims who obtained orders reported that the orders improved their overall well-being, especially
if the abuser had a prior criminal history and was more likely to reabuse. [133] It may be that, even though orders do not stop abuse, they reduce the severity of the reabuse. Alternatively, although they
may not affect the extent of reabuse, protective orders make victims feel vindicated and empowered.
Although not studied directly, it appears to be significantly easier for law enforcement to monitor and enforce protective
and no-contact orders than to monitor and interrupt abuse in general. This may explain why abusers are significantly more
likely to be arrested for protective order violations than other common domestic violence offenses. The rearrest rate for
abusers in Rhode Island initially arrested for violation of protection or no-contact orders was 45.6 percent over one year,
compared to 37.6 percent for domestic assaults, disorderly conduct or vandalism. [141] Of course, it may also be the case that abusers with orders are generally at higher risk for reabusing than abusers without
Victims should be encouraged to take out protective orders and retain them but should also be advised that the orders do not
deter all abusers and may be more effective when accompanied by criminal prosecution of the abuser. (Research basis: Numerous
studies indicating consistent victim satisfaction with orders, complemented by studies that have consistently found that orders
do not appear to significantly increase the risk of reabuse and may deter some abusers.)

Nice to see that indoctrination is alive and well in my former faith, Mormonism. I attend there with my wife and kids one hour a week, as I have mentioned previously. Today, a special treat was announced for this upcoming week. A bonefide special witness of Jesus Christ—even an apostle of the Lord is coming to our neck of the woods to speak to us. (Mormons believe that the Jesus' church was restored in 1830 through Joseph Smith, including apostles, prophets, deacons, priests, teachers etc)
Nearly all Mormons believe that the 12 living Mormon apostles and the current Prophet of the Mormon church have all seen and conversed with Jesus Christ. Not joking. I used to believe it too. So to have one of these men visiting is supposed to be penultimate.
Our Stake President (the man acting as the highest presiding local area authority in my 200 mile vicinity) paid the congregation a visit. He admonished us to prepare our hearts and minds through prayer and fasting to receive the words of this holy apostle of Christ next week. I have met three times with this Stake President to declare my unbelief. He is a sincere man who has tried to direct me in plugging up the holes in my testimony thereby shoring it back up to a workable design. This next part of his speech, I felt, was directed at myself sitting in the audience.
The congregation was told that the spirit of the lord would be present in abundance. Those who do not feel it at this meeting will surely know that their heart is hard and they are on dubious ground. Those who are prepared will have a glorious feasting on the words of Christ. If you are not found feasting, you are in error.
It is this type of mind manipulation that I now despise. Mormonism is run on how things feel. And the way "things" feel can and are manipulated to highly significant levels. This man was doing the classic con setup and the most convincing part of this con is that the man himself is convinced and he does not even know he is part of a gigantic con. The way I see it, it is what makes a con most effective or .. er..convincing.
Interestingly, this man is not reccommending that any of us attend the general conference of the "Reorganized" Mormon church. This is a splinter group of Mormons deviated from the Salt Lake Mormons in 1844 who number about a million strong. They too have 12 apostles and a prophet. And glory be!! You ought to feel the spirit THERE!! I am told that the "spirit" ratifies the calling of these "other" apostles just as strong as the Salt Lake church.
So, surprise, I plan on attending if my schedule permits. It is not too often that an actual self-proclaimed and Church wide accepted living apostle of Jesus comes to my neck of the woods. I am curious.

TagName resolution
TagName resolution should only be a matter in xml context. IE, we can fully use the modello-plugin-xml attributes and mecanisms, because we should be in xml context (parser, documentation, schema or anything else).
Where is it done?
It should be done in a Utility class, provided by the modello-plugin-xml. As of now, it's done separatly by each plugin, which could lead to very inconsistent behaviour!
For example:
- Code snipplet in methods getModelClassDescriptor and writeElementDescriptor in XdocGenerator
- method getTagName in XsdGenerator
- method getTagName in Xpp3ReaderGenerator and code sniplet, somewhere in method writeClass in Xpp3WriterGenerator
- ...
How is it done?
The more complete algorithm, for tagName resolution is, according to me:
- if xml.tagName is set, this is our tagName, no question there.
- else
- if the we are not in an association : tagName is the name of the class/field (starting with lower case)
- if we are in an association :
- if xml.associationTagName is set, this is our tagName
- else tagName is the name of the association in singular if xml.listStyle is set to WRAPPED, as given is xml.listStyle is set to FLAT.
Other candidate helper methods
Following helper methods should be included in utility pack somewhere:
- isInnerAssociation( Model objectModel, ModelField field )
- isManyAssociation( Model objectModel, ModelField field )
- isWrappedAssociation( Model objectModel, ModelField field )
- isFlatAssociation( Model objectModel, ModelField field )
- isNonRecursiveAssociation( Model objectModel, ModelClass modelClass, ModelAssociation association )
All of these methods are provided in path http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MODELLO-56 (initially for use in Xdoc Plugin)

This website received the most votes of all the competing projects and also won the category Best Community/Social Media Website. Having won the majority of votes overall, it was also judged in terms of quality and website design, and Kentico is proud to declare the Great British Chefs website Kentico Site of the Year 2012.
This site already offered great recipes, tips and "how to" videos from the finest British chefs, but the team wanted to further engage their audience by increasing interaction between foodies and the chefs through social media. The move to Kentico not only helped boost social interaction, with Facebook Likes increasing from 48,000 to 90,000 and Google+ followers from 0 to 190,000 in the last year, but also enabled the site to scale to accommodate increased traffic; over 600% in December, from 50,000 to over 350,000 visits.
Best Corporate Site
Having chosen Kentico for its simple content management tools (document types and widgets), as well as for its sophisticated API (for current and future site and library integration), this global entertainment company stores and manages its 24,000 film and television titles, 2,700 hours of television programming and 45,000 music tracks on Kentico's Media Library.
Best Food and Beverage Site
Bacardi had an objective to upgrade its digital content delivery providing brand consistency with flexibility of digital offerings. Each of its local markets needed the ability to manage content structure and localize it to the specific regions, while still being able to leverage global content such as cocktails, products, and events. Kentico allowed full flexibility in an enterprise project of this scale while providing the most cost-effective solution to the digital challenges the Bacardi brand faced.
Best E-Commerce Site
As one of the largest jewelry retailers in the UK, with over 200 high-street stores, Herbert Brown recognized an available market online for selling pre-owned prestige watches. The website manages the whole process; from buying watches from users, submitting them for sale and completing the valuation and sale agreement, through to the end payment/voucher point when selling them on to other users. Sales have strengthened in a short period of time both via online payments and the credit facility.
Best Education Site
HBU, a leading institution for Christian higher education, is now using Kentico's robust solution for managing its large content editor base, as well as security for items such as compliance, accreditation and payment. During its redesign, 3,000+ unique pages were migrated. The new site has allowed HBU to better communicate with potential students, existing students and alumni in an intuitive, highly designed site that resonates with younger audiences.
Best Financial Services Site
The Financial Reporting Council is the UK's independent regulator responsible for promoting high quality corporate governance and reporting to foster investment.The architecture of the site accommodates a vast amount of content, approximately 400 pages and 3,000 PDFs, all displayed in a way that replicates the new structure. The site is incredibly easy to search and meets the new branding and communications requirements of the company.
Best Government and Municipal Site
Sacramento Public Library provides ideas, information, and resources to help the community discover, learn and grow. It is the fourth largest library system in California and serves a population of over 1.3 million. The new clean design is consistent with branding and the navigation has been updated and simplified. Better integration with many third party products such as book catalogs, events, meeting rooms and feeds was achieved.
Best Healthcare Site
This Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital wanted to improve user experience and enhance interaction with its customer base. New forms were implemented that allow patients to make appointment requests and physicians to make referrals. Now, whenever a potential client fills out a form, it almost guarantees they become an actual client, so MFB has achieved increased revenue as a direct result of the change.
Best Nonprofit Organization Site
This Australian charity is focused on funding research programs dedicated to finding cures for childhood cancer. The website utilizes Kentico's e-commerce functionality as a base and it was customized to meet the client's requirements. It also incorporates the Kentico Blog Module, newsletter functionality and event calendar. A boost in online donations, the focused goal of the Kids' Cancer Project, was achieved.
Best Travel and Events Site
The Run to the Beat Half Marathon is an event that took place on 28th October 2012, with additional marathons planned for future dates. It is intended to be an online platform where information is made publicly available so that photographers, DJs, organizers of charity events, etc. can all come to the same place to access the information. The site is designed in responsive HTML to make it easier for visitors to consume content on varied mobile devices.
Best Intranet
Ageas UK is a leading provider of award-winning Personal and Commercial Lines insurance solutions and Life Protection insurance in the UK. The key objective was to develop the Ageas community; to bring the different businesses together through interactive functionality. The resulting intranet is a rich source of information for employees and an Ageas key communication channel across the UK, delivering regular and consistent messages.
Best Mobile Site
A new website was created to position the online Curve as one of the most respected online design magazines in the world, just as the press version currently is. It takes advantage of a number of Kentico features, with content management being core because this site is primarily blog- and article-centric. It was vital to retain the beauty of the design across different screen sizes and devices, and this has been achieved.
Best Graphic Design
True Africa, the safari company, chose Kentico CMS as their platform of choice because they needed its flexibility, out-of-the-box features and great support. The biggest challenge was remaining true to the graphic design specifications, but Kentico's flexible API allowed them to do so. It also enabled them to create complex navigation using custom web parts, jQuery and AJAX, the latter of which also helped in the development of a powerful destination finder. The site also integrates Google Maps and Flickr.
Best Kentico EMS Implementation
Team Run Smart is a robust community portal that delivers business-focused content to the US trucking industry. The solution included a mobile-optimized and traditional website that was coupled with personal accounts, forums, blogs, member deals, newsletter subscriptions, polls, and a full range of EMS campaign tracking tools to optimize the marketing strategy over time. Kentico also enabled the management of page content in Facebook, pulling content from other social platforms, and the integrated SMS sign-up for members, extending the mobile communications capabilities of the website.
Best Integration
Sauder is North America's leading producer of ready-to-assemble furniture, and they wanted to feature their brands and products at a finer level while offering a better customer experience to visitors. They chose Kentico EMS as their platform because of its rich feature set and content personalization capabilities. The site makes good use of Product Comparison, Product Search, Product Quick Looks, and a Customized Shopping Cart, while integrating all Order and Customer data with SAP.
Best Migration
EMHS is a well-organized network of local healthcare providers for the people of Maine that migrated platform from Ektron to Kentico. This mobile- friendly site gained an updated look and feel and easier-to-manage content. The portal engine was leveraged to implement the use of widgets for easier page customization. EHMS recently won an eHealthcare Award for best mobile communication site.
Largest Site
TUI.ru, the Russian branch of the European tour leader, decided to make a complete redesign of their site, creating a more comfortable tool for searching and buying holidays. The site contains over 50,000 documents in a content tree and a few million rows of related data stored in the CMS. Performance issues were solved using two very brilliant abilities built in to Kentico CMS without the need for any further development – caching and scaling!
Best Cloud Deployment
KHS Musical Instruments is one of the world's top full-scale musical instrument manufacturers. Mapex MyDentity Custom Drum Configuration Tool is a custom Kentico application that allows consumers to build custom drum kits in an interactive, immersive experience. Leveraging Kentico CMS 6.0, Windows Azure, and jQuery, consumers can select drums, cymbals, pedals, custom finishes, and hardware to create a unique kit tailored just for them. The site won 2 Best of Show awards at the National Association of Music Merchants Show 2012 (NAMM).

Tylor Ring could only smile at first.
And then the Swansboro High rising sophomore said it would be "insane" when asked what it would mean if she was named most valuable player in a soccer championship match for the second time in two months.
"Yeah, it would be insanely shocking," Ring said. "Once is incredible, but twice would just be insane."
In late May, Ring was named MVP of Swansboro's 3-0 win over South Iredell in the NCHSAA 2-A final in
Ring, a forward, certainly has fond memories of helping the Pirates capture the fourth state crown in program history. Yet her focus these days is on helping her '97 Jacksonville Area Soccer Association (JASA) Coastal Surge club team win a national tournament.
The Surge will play in the six-team U.S. Club Soccer National Cup in
"I think that once you get there (being a champion and MVP), you just have to try training harder and harder," said Ring, a midfielder for the Surge. "It's easier to get there than it is to remain there. So I have to keep trying to improve myself."
Ask those associated with the '97 Surge, and they will tell you Ring has kept her high level of play on the pitch.
"Tylor has always been hungry and her play hasn't gone down," said defender Abby Taylor, a rising sophomore who was also on Swansboro's title team. "But her confidence has gotten up more, although she's never had bad confidence and she's always been a great player."
And that includes during practice and in games, Surge coach Becky Morton said.
"Tylor gives 100 percent every practice and every game and when she steps on the field, I know exactly what is going to happen. She never lets up," Morton said. "It did not surprise me that she was MVP because she came into her own in the middle of the season and stepped it up assisting on goals and then starting to find the back of the net herself. She's just an all-around team player."
Ring is one of five Surge players from Swansboro High.
