Angels and Ages
Darwin and Lincoln were makers and witness of the great change that, for good or ill, marks modern times
-Adam Gopnik
On a memorable day in human history, February 12, 1809, two babies were born an ocean apart: Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. Together they became midwives to the spirit of a new world, a new kind of hope and faith. Searching for the men behind the icons of emancipation and evolution, Adam Gopnik reveals them as both ordinary family men with ambitions, faults and loves and as great thinkers who helped shape the modern world — a world increasingly governed by reason, argument and observation, by the verdicts of time and history. As writers, they invented a new language to express that understanding, the liberal voice we now use both at home and in public. This presentation is a meditation on how we got where we are and how we became who we are as children of robust democracy and science.
Adam has been writing for The New Yorker since 1986, and his work for the magazine has won both the National Magazine Award for Essay and the George Polk Award for Magazine Reporting. He has broadcasted regularly for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and wrote the article on American culture for the last two editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica. His new book embodies this gift for using historical biography to explore the way we live today. Angels and Ages: A Short Book about Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life (2009) looks at the birth of the modern era through the lives of two extraordinary people born within hours of each other exactly 200 years ago this year.
President Pamela Gann and Dean of Students Jeff Huang have presented a copy of Angels and Ages as a gift to each incoming freshman student and the Athenaeum has invited author Adam Gopnik to speak to the class during this traditional dinner for freshmen. Mr. Gopnik has personally signed bookplates that will be distributed to everyone at the dinner. You already have the book and now you will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in conversation with the author — an opportunity not to be missed!
Members of the freshmen class are automatically signed up for this dinner. If you are unable to attend, please call ext. 18244 or email email@example.com to cancel your reservation so that you can have dinner at Collins.
Music and Conversation
Robert Thies' recital at the Athenaeum two years ago elicited rave reviews from everyone lucky enough to be there. Many felt it was the high point of the year. More than just a performance, Thies addressed the audience, discussed the music, and successfully involved everyone in the musical experience. It is a pleasure to announce that Robert Thies has consented to return to the Athenaeum.
Robert Thies first captured worldwide attention in 1995 when he won the Gold Medal at the Second International Prokofiev Competition in St. Petersburg, Russia. With this victory, Thies became the only American pianist to win first prize in a Russian piano competition since VanCliburn's famed triumph in Moscow in 1958. Since that time, Thies has garnered a reputation as a consummate, graceful musician with a keen poetic sense and a remarkably diverse repertoire.
Praised for his "thoughtful and intensely moving interpretations" Thies enjoys a diverse career as an orchestral soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician. He has performed over 35 concertos with orchestras all over the world, including Saint Petersburg Philharmonic, Liepaja Symphony (Latvia), Mexico City Philharmonic, the National Symphony of Mexico, Auckland Philharmonia (New Zealand), Louisville Orchestra, Fort Worth Symphony, Pasadena Symphony, and the Naples Philharmonic.
In Los Angeles, Thies has worked and recorded with many of the top studio musicians, and has also worked with film composers James Newton Howard, James Horner, Danny Elfman, Aaron Zigman, and Lalo Schifrin. In February 2006 Thies released his debut solo recording "Live in Recital."
His teachers have included Robert Turner and Daniel Pollack, both protégés of the legendary Russian pedagogue Madame Rosina Lhevinne, and the great pianist Josef Lhevinne.

Hubbert's Peak, the Coal Question, and Climate Change
An accurate estimate of the ultimate production of oil, gas, and coal would be helpful for the ongoing policy discussion on alternatives to fossil fuels and climate change. By ultimate production, we mean total production, past and future. It takes a long time to develop energy infrastructure, and this means it matters whether we have burned 20% of our oil, gas, and coal, or 40%. In modeling climate change, the carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels is the most important factor. The time frame for the climate response is much longer than the time frame for burning fossil fuels, and this means that the total amount burned is more important than the burn rate. Oil, gas, and coal ultimates are traditionally estimated by government geological surveys from measurements of oil and gas reservoirs and coal seams, together with an allowance for future discoveries of oil and gas. We will see that where these estimates can be tested, they tend to be too high, and that more accurate estimates can be made by curve fits to the production history.

Drugs, Guns and Violence, Mexico's Path to National Security
The presentation will provide background on how drugs evolved into Mexico's number one national security issue, how the Mexican armed forces became involved in this mission, and how the United States itself was the crucial actor in creating drug trafficking as the central public security issue and in encouraging Mexico to replicate its own national anti-drug strategy. It will also identify a number of recent trends including the deepening presence of drug cartels in Mexican life, the consequences of domestic civil violence on American border states and U.S. national security, the globalization of drug cartels across our southern border, and the impact of a militarized anti-drug strategy on Mexican domestic politics as drug related murders and kidnappings continue to increase.

A Journey to the Edge of Interstellar Space
A supersonic wind from the Sun creates a giant bubble called the heliosphere that envelops all of the planets. Launched in 1977 on a journey to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, the two Voyager spacecraft are now racing to leave the bubble called the heliosphere and enter interstellar space. The two spacecraft are 8 and 10 billion miles from Earth, exploring the outermost layer of the bubble where the supersonic solar wind abruptly slows in a sonic shock as it presses outward against the surrounding interstellar matter. In another five years, Voyager 1 will likely cross the boundary of heliosphere, becoming our first interstellar probe immersed in matter from the supernova explosions of other stars.

Prospects for Peace in the Middle East
UCLA professor Steven L. Spiegel is an expert on American foreign policy in the Middle East. As such, he has played an active role in the Middle East peace process. Through the innovative negotiation techniques he has developed, Dr. Spiegel has contributed cutting edge ideas for promoting Middle East regional security and cooperation. Indeed, he received the UCLA Karpf prize for the faculty member who has most advanced the cause of world peace. Dr. Spiegel has authored or co-authored over 100 books, articles and papers as well as a major international relations textbook, World Politics in a New Era (1996), the fifth edition of which will be published in early 2010 by Oxford University Press. He is presently at work on a book on the American approach to the Middle East.
In his Athenaeum address, Professor Spiegel will describe the latest developments and likely process and possible progress over the next several months, and review the interests and activities of the major players: the Israelis, Palestinians, Syrians, major Arab states. Ultimately, he will focus on the aims, styles, policies, and prospects for success of the Obama Administration.
Professor Spiegel is the Director of UCLA's Center for Middle East Development and of Track II Middle East programs at the statewide Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation at the University of California, San Diego.
On the Streets of Tehran
A political prisoner caught in the middle of a dramatic political struggle between Iran and the U.S., Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi captured the attention of the world when reports surfaced of her imprisonment in Iran. Abducted by four men early one morning in January 2009 and placed in solitary confinement, Ms. Saberi, who was working as a freelance journalist in Tehran, contributing to NPR and the BBC among others, was falsely accused of spying for the United States. Ms. Saberi, a former Miss North Dakota, who led an all-American life before moving to Iran was sentenced to eight years in prison. Her battle for freedom would last 100 days before an appeals court released her following an international uproar. In the midst of reaching out to Iran to start a dialogue after decades of political deadlock, the Obama administration harshly criticized Iran over her imprisonment and there was speculation that Iranian President Ahmadinejad intervened on her behalf as a diplomatic overture.
Since the disputed Iranian election, hundreds of thousands of Iranian citizens took to the streets of Iran have called for free and fair elections. The Iranian regime's reaction of using deadly violence to quell the protests sparked outrage among its citizens and the international community. Living in Iran for the past six years as a journalist, Roxana Saberi witnessed the developments in Iran firsthand. She is able to weave together the political, cultural, and historical significance of these events as they continue to unfold, and what it means for democracy, the Middle East and the world.
Latinos in the United States: A Continental Quest for Democracy
The keynote address in this year's recognition of Latino Heritage Month will be presented by CMC alumnus Francisco Vazquez '72. In his lecture Dr. Vazquez will explore the political philosophy of Latinos in the American continent and their struggle for democracy.
His presentation is based on the premise that English Americans and Latin Americans have a common political cradle. While focusing on the incorporation of Mexicans, Cubans and Puerto Ricans into the United States, he will discuss the role of Latinos in the U.S. and propose the concept of a "Continental American."
Francisco Vazquez is Professor of History of Ideas at the Hutchins School of Liberal Studies and Director of the Hutchins Institute for Public Policy Studies and Community Action at Sonoma State University, where he has been since 1990. He attended CMC when it was still a men's college, and graduated with a degree in philosophy in 1972. He then went on to complete an interdisciplinary doctoral program in philosophy, history and literature from Claremont Graduate University, and received his Ph.D. in 1977.
He is the author of Latino/a Thought: Culture, Politics and Society (2002), a well recognized text in the field that has a second edition due in January 2009. Vazquez has also published numerous publications including The Political Economy of Culture and the Birth of a Civil Society after NAFTA (1997) in established journals of social theory. The New England Resource Center for Higher Education, NERCHE, selected him in 2003 for an Honorable Mention Award, Ernest A. Lynton Award for Faculty Professional Service and Academic Outreach. He is on the Board of Directors of Community Action Partnership.
Welcome from the Director
The Athenaeum team is once again ready to welcome all of you — new and returning students, faculty, and staff — to what should be an engaging and provocative series of programs this fall. You are invited to enjoy gourmet meals prepared by our very own kitchen staff, assisted by numerous student "chefs in the making." Please contact me firstname.lastname@example.com or stop by my office with suggestions for programming or policy. Athenaeum Fellows, Paige Costello and David Nahmias are also available and encourage your involvement in planning events for the Athenaeum.
The fall calendar is almost complete, and I think it will speak for itself about the broad diversity of interests and points of view on this campus. A number of events are planned around specific themes including: 40 years after Stonewall, the bicentennial of Darwin's' birth, perspectives on Latin America, economics in theory and practice, human rights and the law, global politics, ethical leadership, caring for the environment, plus music, art, and poetry. Take time to view the new artwork in Security Pacific, created by Frederick Doar, father of CMC student Rick Doar '12. You can look forward to experiencing the art of various local artists in the future, including a show of student artwork in the spring.
You are also invited to drop by Parents Library beginning Monday, September 14th, for the popular daily afternoon tea featuring Juan's homemade cookies and pastries. Tea is served Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
We should acknowledge the generosity and vision of President Pamela Gann and the CMC Board of Trustees whose support sustains this expensive yet priceless enterprise of which we are the beneficiaries. Our staff works to create a refined dining experience and so we expect you to dress up a bit for dinner — no shorts, jeans, or T-shirts, please.
See you at the Ath!

PS, I ran into a large Walmart lady's hind quarters while texting and driving my cart at Walmart. Oops.
Anyhow, this is not about The Sims and wreaking havoc on my CGI enemies. The game I spotted is called Zumba Wii. I know, I know... everyone has heard of Zumba. Everyone. In fact, I'd heard about it years ago but have always been too afraid of injuring someone to take a class. Really. You don't know, Readers... you don't know. Want to know what kinds of things I'm not good at? Watch me try to follow latin dance steps to a beat that I didn't make up and only I can hear it.
Oh sure, I can cut a rug in style at an interpretive seizure party if I've had a couple of refreshments to really loosen me up, and I can actually two-step a little *flashes a shrewd smile*, but only because I had to learn how if I wanted to participate in my small town's social scene. I don't have to like it, but I can repeat slow-slow-quickquick to myself and look at my feet as I tromp around a dance floor to The Lone Ranger with my cousins at a wedding if I must. I've also been known to invent a dance or two as well... take, for example, "Microwaving the Dinner" or "The Runaway Wheelchair" Or even the "Rolling Sherpa". Those caught on like gangbusters. I'm sure you do them all the time and had no idea that I started them *casually checks manicure*.
Please don't unfollow me, Readers. It's just a part of my past. Come on, I was isolated in the remote North of Canada. I even took two-step lessons once with my brother and his girlfriend. (H'oh man... This is sounding even worse. I need to crank up the awesome... 3....2......1...) And guess what else I can do?
Polka! (tack on 54 zillion cool points now). I speak truth.
PS? In Northern Alberta Canada, the polka is danced to AC/DC's Shook Me All Night Long at weddings sometimes. You make your own fun. Pretty much EXACTLY like this:
But this is about Zumba. Zumba for my Wii. (Can you imagine if I'd have said, "I got Zumba for my Wii and I'm putting it in my Blog tonight" ten years ago? My mother would have slapped me!). Anyhow, Zumba is like aerobic Latin Dancing or some shit. All I know is that it is hard, you guys. Super duper hard. It's all Shakira-y and guess what? Shakira's job is harder than I thought. Yeah, I thought she just had to drink some red bulls and make out with the spin cycle for an hour or so to get those moves. I just thought her fan belt was loose or somthing. Turns out she is in incredibly good shape. That hussy.
You know what else? Zumba wii is way harder than stupid dance dance revolution. Well, it's easier to win, but you sweat buckets. What you're supposed to do, Everyone, is mirror the dancer on the screen and it measures your hip movements and you fill the 'dance meter' as you correctly mimic the rainbow people. I did my very best. I shook my hips around and tried to copy the moves.

Lamitschka: Music has many new fans throughout Europe who may be hearing about you for the first time. How would you describe yourself and the music you play to someone who has never seen or heard you?
Darin Warner: For anyone who feels the country spirit, or about to discover it through my music, here is the adventure into the soul that country music was meant to be.

Lamitschka: How did you choose the title for the CD? Is there a story behind the name?
Darin Warner: The title track is NO REGRETS. As I sat with my Grandfather, when he faced his last days of life, he looked at me & told me to 'live my life with No Regrets.' I went home, wrote the song & it became the foundation for the CD.
Lamitschka: Your current single is being played by radio. What do you feel is special about this song that makes people want to hear it?
Darin Warner: "I won't sing it, if I ain't lived it" – It is my 'motto!' People like to listen to it because they can relate to it. We all can relate to things we wish we had done...or hadn't done. We all know someone who has passed & we all have sat around with friends talking about how things have been in our past that brought us to where we are. We have all had those moments in life when we have wondered if we 'should or shouldn't' do something. The thing that makes us take the chance is the voice from someone in our life who is whispering in our mind-Do it with No Regrets.
Lamitschka: What kind of songs do you like to record the most?
Darin Warner: Songs that have a message. Songs that the first time someone hears them, they can 'sing along' with because they feel familiar. Songs that make people want to dance in front of the stage or stand there & sing along with me. Songs that people listen to on the cd that they hit 'replay.' Nothing is greater than having fans sing along with my songs at a show.
Lamitschka: How much creative control do you have over your music?
Darin Warner: I try to stay 100% involved in all of my music. Most of the time, the first draft becomes a bunch of scribbles & arrows & scrached out phrases on a piece of paper until the end is what I want it to say. Not a day goes by that a new song isn't running around in my mind.
Lamitschka: Who inspires you musically and how deep do your musical roots run?
Darin Warner: Despite living in the country, not many shared my passion for all things Country, but it was a young man's search for expression, and I would come to know two things: I was born to sing and play, and I had found a vehicle in country music where a man could express his emotions. It was the singular, inevitable outcome: I set my soul to words and music. It's been said of me that "Merle Haggard and George Jones couldn't have asked for a better student". And like any good student, I learned from the best, then set my own unique path.
Having paid my dues and achieved success in my own backyard, my focus is now on a broader world stage, and set on expanding my audience within the Country music industry.
Lamitschka: As an artist, you so many tasks such as recording, touring, interviews. What do you like best, what's your favorite activity?
Darin Warner: Definitely performing...having my guitar in my hand, singing my songs & meeting people. Sharing life through my music.
Lamitschka: Are you doing anything to take music beyond its current borders or are you happy where it is?
Darin Warner: Currently building my 2012 NO REGRETS International Tour which will hopefully take me around the United States, into Canda & across Europe! It may take 2013 to get to all of the places I hope to get to-but, with things going the right way it will all come to be.
Lamitschka: What inspired you to become an artist?
Darin Warner: I lived a life that reads like one of the many country songs he has written and performed. From my modest beginnings amidst a bleak Australian landscape, I soon learned that Life had even harsher realities to offer: acceptance did not come easy, when roaming from town to town in attempt at a living; farming offered backbreaking work, but no promise of reward; feeling abandoned was easy, when times are hard, and a family dynamic becomes even harder.
Lamitschka: What inspired you to become a songwriter?
Darin Warner: Fortunately, Music was the only thing that didn't cost anything", and I was immersed in it from a young age. My memories from that time are of sitting with his ear glued to the record player as I listened to Merle Haggard and George Jones, and of standing at the front of a stage watching my dad, himself a struggling country musician, perform the classics. Music would be my escape from the realization that I came from a world where men were men, and boys were not invited. It was a hardened emotional landscape, as well, and giving voice to tender thoughts was not welcome there.
Lamitschka: What's unique about you that will differentiate you from other artists?
Darin Warner: A life-long Australian who continues to have a strong music career in my 'homeland,' I am incredibly comfortable taking my Country music around the world. I can talk with anyone about anything.
Lamitschka: What has been your greatest challenge in music business?
Darin Warner: Getting a 'break' & building a support team of people that I can trust are in sync with me. We are all traveling in the same direction, with the same goals & balance each other's strengths as well as weaknesses. We mesh together to create the best end product.
Lamitschka: When you get time off, how do you like to relax?
Darin Warner: Play my guitar, write new songs, FISH & cook. I enjoy cooking, especially on the Barby & enjoy time on the boat.
Lamitschka: Many European fans travel to the United States to attend the several of the music festivals for the opportunity to see so many of their favorite artists, bands and celebrities. Will you be participating and how will the fans be able to find you?
Darin Warner: I sure hope so! I'm trying to get booked in as many as I can around the US. I will post shows all over my pages on reverbnation & facebook.
Lamitschka: What can your fans expect to see when they see you in concert?
Darin Warner: A show that will have them on their feet. A professional, polished reflection of traditional Country Music. Hopefully, they will see a show that they want to bring their friends to next time & tell everyone they know.
Lamitschka: Many music fans today get their information about artists online. Do you have your own website and what will fans find there?
Darin Warner: Reverbnation.com/darinwarner , Video is on Youtube: youtube.com/preciouspromotions , Myspace.com/darinwarner , Facebook.com/darinwarner
I'm also on a wide assortment of other sites like: SoundClick, SoundCloud & many Internet Radio Stations.
Lamitschka: What message would you like to send your European fans?
Darin Warner: I look forward to bring my Country Music to all of you. The charts tell me you love my music & want me there. I'm looking forward to it...invite me! :)

These cards are great quality and when edited matched our color scheme exactly. I would recommend requesting the sample pack that includes the sample card and color swatches to make sure you get the colors your want. We love these invites and are sending them out soon!
Looks Professional
This card was made to my personalization and was very professionally made. You would have never known that I changed the colors and wording of the card! I love it and would totally reorder from this company! I've ordered a few things from them now, and they have all been impressive.
A Splash of Summer
How nice to have small, round seals with the colors of summer, with green leaves, and orange and yellow blossoms. They will brighten up the envelope flap and make the recipient think of meadows in May with sunshine, blue skies, and the sweet fragrance of flowers.

Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue played a characteristically great set at Lollapalooza this past Sunday. One of the highlights for me — if you feel like playing Where's Waldo, you can find me in about the 8th row wearing a red Wisconsin hat — was this long cover of Brain Stew by Green Day.

Ever since Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong bought his first Les Paul junior back in 2000, he's been hooked. Since then he's rarely seen on stage without one. Throughout the past decade, Billie Joe has played various Les Paul Jr's, a Les Paul Special, an SG, and his acoustic signature Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong J-180. Armstrong has even gone so far as to play old Green Day songs, that were originally recorded on other types of guitars, on his LP Jr. So let's take a look at Billie Joe live on stage with his many Gibson guitars!

Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps are synonymous with Old-World quality and time-honored simplicity, which can be traced back to the family's German-Jewish soapmaking tradition. Although the label claims eighteen uses, Dr. Bronner's does not have the space to write all of the uses for their Pure Castile Liquid Soaps on the label. Dr. Bronner recorded the "18 in 1 uses" on his label, which has been left mostly intact since his passing. In reality, there are far more than eighteen uses, as people constantly write in to tell them about yet another utility of the soap. Without detailing them all, but below are some of the major uses and dilutions.
Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Liquid Soaps are 100% true pure-castile soaps. The high foaming lather of our soaps is from their high coconut oil content, which makes a more luxurious and rich lather than any detergent can ever create. "Pure-Castile" is your guarantee that what you are using is a real ecological and simple soap, not a complex blend of detergents with a higher ecological impact due to the waste stream during manufacture and slower biodegradability.
What does "Castile" mean?
In earlier centuries, an all-vegetable based soap was made in the Castile region of Spain from local olive oil. By the turn of this century, "Castile" had come to mean any vegetable oil-based soap, versus animal (tallow) fat-based soap. "Pure-Castile" is now also your guarantee that what you are using is a real ecological and simple soap, not a complex blend of detergents with a higher ecological impact due to the waste stream during manufacture and slower biodegradability. Unfortunately, many synthetic detergent blends are deceptively labeled as "Liquid Soap" even when they contain absolutely no soap whatsoever.
What is "Organic" and why is it so great?
The term "organic" refers to both sustainable farming practices and to products ecologically made from materials produced on certified organic farms. According to federal standards, such products have to be at least 70% organic by non-water, non-salt weight. Organic products not only support sustainable farming, but also farm worker health and ecological processing methods.
Unfortunately, the hollow market-driven needs of some "natural" body care companies are making a mockery of organic principles. Underneath fluffy, feel-good "organic" floral waters and infusions, many "organic" body care products are really just composed of the same synthetic cleansers, conditioners and preservatives found in mainstream products, often in part or wholly derived from petroleum. Culprit companies are inflating organic content by counting ordinary distilled water in "floral water" as organic, a practice which is not allowed under the National Organic Program.
No Animal Testing:
Dr. Bronner's qualifies for the rabbit and stars logo of the Coalition for Consumer information on Cosmetics (CCIC). This logo certifies that our product and all of our ingredients are not tested on animals. The CCIC, a coalition of animal rights organizations, requires independent audit for confirmation.

Support the Museum by becoming a member today!
Every second Wednesday of the month, the Museum of the Confederacy and the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park are partnering to bring the Civil War Sesquicentennial to Appomattox. Each month, a knowledgable speaker will lead a discussion on a topic or event's 150th anniversary.
About 6:00 am on the morning of September 8, 1863, a Union flotilla of four gunboats and seven troop transports steamed into Sabine Pass and up the Sabine River with the intention of reducing Fort Griffin and landing troops to begin occupying Texas. As the gunboats approached Fort Griffin, they came under accurate fire from six cannons. Fort Griffin's small force of 44 men, under command of Lt. Richard W. Dowling, forced the Union flotilla to retire and captured the gunboat Clifton and about 200 prisoners. Further Union operations in the area ceased for about a month. The heroics at Fort Griffin—44 men stopping a Union expedition—inspired other Confederate soldiers. Join local historian Fred Underwood for this free lunchtime talk.
Admission to the talk is free, but does not include admission into the Museum's galleries.

Omnibus Blog Update
My apologies for the lack of updates lately! It was kind of a hectic month, spending the first half of January in Costa Rica at INCAE Business School and the second half acclimating to the start of the semester and my courses.
The seminar I attended at INCAE, entitled "Business and the Environment: Lessons from Latin America", was a wonderful experience and I feel like I learned more about sustainable development than I ever imagined. The school was founded more than 40 years ago under the guidance of Harvard University, and the rigorous nature of their MBA program was quite impressive.
Well, there are a lot of little things to catch up on, which is why I called this an "omnibus" blog post. So here's a short list of notes, in no particular order of importance:
1) The Unreasonable Institute, which helps train promising young social entrepreneurs, announced the finalists for their contest. In true crowdsourcing fashion, people are encouraged to vote and sponsor the social entrepreneurs and ventures that they support most. The first 25 ventures to raise $6,500 get to attend the Institute and receive business incubation help. They are all clever, noble ventures, so check them out and cast your vote! Three I think are especially cool:
- Kito International: In Kenya, Kito partners with street youth to harness their entrepreneurial spirit, providing the training and tools they need to launch their own microenterprise, become self-sufficient, and move off the streets forever.
- Frontline:SMSCredit: In the world of mobile money, Frontline:SMSCredit hopes to use cell phones to make financial services accessible and affordable for the bottom of the economic pyramid.
- Light Up Malawi: LUM hopes to free one nation off the grid by bringing 100% sustainable energy to Malawi. This clean technology will eliminate poor lighting and dirty fuels, therefore improving health quality.
2) Essential Tools to Start a Social Enterprise: This list of resources, compiled by Martin Montero, is a great starting point for those looking to build a business that is a social changemaker.
3) In a previous post, I mentioned Jacqueline Novogratz, the founder and CEO of Acumen Fund, a venture capital firm that invests in social enterprises. There was a great interview with her on NPR's "Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippett" today. They've also posted one of the things I really admire about the Acumen Fellows Program, their required reading list. It is a very broad compilation of philosophical, questioning, culturally aware, empathetic readings; I hope to slowly read them all and put myself through a sort of mock version of Acumen training.

FedEx Reliability Zone: Tie-Break Titans
Career Tie-Break Records
by James Buddell|
The US Open is the only Grand Slam championship that features a fifth-set tie-break. This month we take an in-depth look at tie-break records using the FedEx ATP Reliability Index, with exclusive analysis from former ATP World Tour players.
Ever since the tie-breaker, conceived by Jimmy Van Alen, was sanctioned by the United States Tennis Association in 1970, partly to accommodate television at that year's US Open, the need to win by two games after the score reached 6-6 in each set was eliminated. It has been one of the only significant departures from the sport's rules.
For tournament directors, tie-breaks come as a schedule-making relief; for fans, the sudden-death method provides instant theatre. But for the players, it is a nerve-frazzling lottery - no matter how often they have played tie-breaks in practice.
Visit FedEx Reliability Zone Home
In the 42 tennis seasons since the inception of the tie-break, there have been six instances of 20-18 scores in singles matches - including 1973-Wimbledon, Bjorn Borg beat Premjit Lall; 1993-US Open, Goran Ivanisevic beat Daniel Nestor; 1997-Queen's Club, Ivanisevic beat Greg Rusedski; 2004-Tennis Masters Cup Houston, Roger Federer beat Marat Safin; 2006-Rogers Cup Toronto, Jose Acasuso beat Bjorn Phau; and 2007 Australian Open, Andy Roddick beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Former World No. 1 Pete Sampras, third overall in tie-breaks since 1973 with a 274-156 mark, recalls, "I was a little more conservative going into them, but my approach was always to just play a controlled aggressive style of play."
Patrick Rafter, the 1997-98 US Open champion, with a 137-111 tie-break record, remembers, "Tie-breaks were interesting. I found it was a lottery and I didn't like that feeling very much. I found you were either on a roll with winning breakers or not. It was quite psychological."
Ivan Lendl admits, "In tie-breaks you have to do what got you there and go with your best plays. Fitness is important at the end of any match - tie-break or no tie-break - but I don't think tie-breaks favour anybody."
So do big servers have an advantage in tie-breaks? "It helps," says baseliner Sebastien Grosjean, "but the key is to be a little more aggressive. Don't wait too much. Take your game to your opponent."
Sampras never felt his big serve gave him an advantage. "If I felt I was a better player I felt more confident." said Sampras, who once beat his great rival, Andre Agassi, 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 7-6(2), 7-6(5) in the 2001 US Open quarter-finals.
Serve-volleyer Rafter admits, "Playing big servers was always tough and you felt a little extra pressure playing them in tie-breaks as you felt if they got up then it was hard to crawl back into it. I preferred playing the lighter servers when it came to tie-breakers.
"I always focused on trying to get a high percentage of first serves in, but sometimes in breakers you have to take a chance, as you were either on a good or bad run. There were different tactics when it came to breakers for me. I may of tried to get to the net as soon as I could to create a little more pressure."
Going into the 2011 US Open, Roger Federer leads the all-time tie-break titans list with a 301-156 record (.659), followed by Novak Djokovic at 117-63 (.650), Sampras (.637), Andy Roddick with a 289-174 mark (.624) and John Isner at 113-68 (.624).
There have been 137 fifth-set tie-breaks at the US Open since 1970, with Brian Gottfried and Chuck McKinley contesting the first "sudden death" tie-break in that first year. Marat Safin (3-1 overall), Tommy Haas (3-0) and Jimmy Connors (2-1) have all been involved in three or more at Flushing Meadows.
Neither Lendl nor Rod Laver like such an ending. "The US Open with sudden death in the fifth set, to me is a mistake," said Laver, the 1962 and 1969 Grand Slam champion. "Four hours of competition battling your opponent's tennis and you come down to one point to decide the winner."
But the US Open is the only major championship to implement a fifth-set tie-break. The Australian Open adopted the tie-breaker in 1971, Wimbledon in 1972 and Roland Garros in 1973. Yet - unlike the US Open - they all maintain long fifth sets as witnessed in June 2010 at the All England Club when John Isner defeated Nicholas Mahut 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(7), 7-6(3), 70-68 over 11 hours and five minutes.
Brad Gilbert, who won back-to-back fifth-set nail-biters 7-6(0) against Tommy Ho and Michael Stich at the 1992 US Open, says, "You're tired, but the end is in sight. You trust all the physical conditioning you have undertaken will help you through. It is difficult to stay relaxed, but I remember thinking that I must stay positive, because a lot of the time people get nervous, and serve well.
"If you're playing against somebody that is giving you a lot of heat, it is difficult. I feel, in a situation like that, it is important to keep a lot of balls in play and make the other guy win it."
At times, though, a player can lose a match without dropping his serve. On the day Van Alen died, aged 88 in 1991, Stefan Edberg lost his Wimbledon title to eventual champion Michael Stich 4-6, 7-6(5), 7-6(5), 7-6(2) in a semi-final. Edberg had not been broken. Afterwards, learning of Van Alen's death, Edberg said, not disrespectfully, "If he hadn't lived, Michael and I might still be out there playing." Tie-breaks are a lottery.

This is a specialty card that allows a surprise ending to a trick- you can produce a 14 of Spades card. For example, let the spectator choose a card from your deck. You "bet" that the card you are holding is exactly twice the value of the spectator's card. The spectator happily accepts the bet, as he is holding the 7 of Spades. Lo and behold- your card is the 14 of Spades, exactly twice his card's value! For this idea, you would need to force the 7 of Spades card. See the second video below to learn how to force the card.

Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - The Cleveland Cavaliers have hired David Blatt as their new coach, saying Friday night the longtime European coach's international experience speaks for itself.
Blatt, 55, resigned as the coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel last week and has spent 33 years as a player and coach in Europe after playing collegiately at Princeton.
He takes over a team that will have the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft for the second straight year and for the third time in the last four years. The draft is next Thursday.
"This is an opportune time to join the Cleveland Cavaliers," Blatt said in a statement. "We are going to work extremely hard to achieve the kind of results we all expect and know are possible."
He guided Maccabi Tel Aviv to this year's Euroleague championship and also led Russia to a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Blatt spent six years as head coach of the Russian national team.
"His abilities to communicate, to build relationships with his players and to foster winning environments at several stops throughout Europe and across the highest levels of international competition speaks for itself," said Cavaliers general manager David Griffin, who said he had followed Blatt for years.
"He brings unbridled passion, energy and creativity to his craft. ... He has an uncanny ability to adapt his system to maximize the talents of his teams year after year. That is why I am very confident he will make a smooth transition to the NBA."
Blatt was one of numerous candidates interviewed by the Cavaliers to replace Mike Brown.
Brown, who previously served as the Cavaliers coach for five seasons from 2005-10, went just 33-49 in his return to the organization last season and was fired last month on the same day Griffin took over as general manager.
Other reported finalists for the coaching job included Clippers assistant Tyronn Lue and former Phoenix Suns head coach Alvin Gentry.

"Very helpful and informative. Instilled confidence that services offered by Practice Builders work, with integrity and results."
Attract lucrative new patients and grow your bottom line.
Cosmetic surgery has offered a lucrative and rewarding option for many cosmetic dentistry practices.

DEEP RUN — Sophomore Courtney Piatt emerged as a winner in his first game as Northside's starting quarterback.
Piatt completed 8 of 9 passes for 169 yards and two touchdown passes to lead the undefeated Monarchs to a 35-3 victory over South Lenoir on Friday night.
Piatt completed his first five passes. His longest completion was a 57-yard throw to Shadell Markee in the second quarter.
Piatt replaced freshman starting quarterback Jake Erickson, who will miss the rest of the season with a broken bone in his ankle.
Piatt threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Josh Cabrera early before the quarterback threw a 25-yard scoring pass to Tyreese Daniels in the second quarter.
Piatt's 18-yard touchdown pass was set up by South Lenoir fumble at its own 18-yard line.
"I thought he (Piatt) did a good job," Northside coach Bob Eason said. "He was a little shook at times, but that's to be expected. He's only a 15-year-old sophomore. So for his first full game as a starter, I thought he did a good job."
Cabrera added an 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown for the Monarchs that answered a South Lenoir field goal.
But while the Monarchs (8-0, 4-0 East Central 2-A Conference) pulled away from the Blue Devils (1-7, 0-4), Eason wasn't too happy.
"I'm upset that we didn't get better. If we're going to be the team that we want to be, we've got to get better each game and tonight we did not come in here and get better," Eason said. "We came in here and fumbled, stumbled, fumbled, and got penalties."
For the record Northside had 7 penalties for 55 yards and no fumbles. The Monarchs didn't punt until their final possession.
"We won," Eason said. "Give South Lenoir credit. I think our guys may have took them too lightly. We played like we practiced all week. We had some guys catch some passes, our quarterback threw some good balls, but I'm about the team.
"We've got to do better. We've got to have some more senior leadership, we've got to have some guys at practice step up who are going to get it done during the week and not just play for Friday nights."
The Monarchs visit Richlands next week.

GARETH DUNCAN watched the Reds record a crucial 23-11 win over the bumbling Blues at Eden Park.
Defending champions the Reds struggled with their backline injury crisis in March and April as they only won one of their previous five fixtures. However, the victory over the Blues saw them jump back into the race for the top spot in the Australian conference, despite only having accumulated 25 log points to date.
The hapless Blues remain at the foot of the table as they suffered their eighth loss of the season. This defeat came after the Reds enforced a 12-point deficit in the opening moments of the match.
The hosts experienced a nightmare start after they folded on defence early on. The Reds capitalised on the hosts' shaky guard, scoring two tries inside five minutes via outside centre Digby Ioane and fullback Luke Morahan – Ioane powering over from close range after a great chip into space from flyhalf Ben Lucas, while Morahan hit a gap with a smart inside step and dart to dive over.
Inside centre Mike Harris could've added further damage with the boot in the first quarter as he had three shots at goal (two conversions and one penalty), but he could only kick two points.
The Blues then bounced back with a strong finish to the first stanza.
They became stronger on defence as the half progressed and their lineout play improved after losing four of their own throws. They used the set piece as a platform for their first try as skipper Luke Braid dotted down via a strong rolling maul.
Flyhalf Gareth Anscombe and Harris traded a penalty apiece for a 15-8 half-time scoreline.
The Blues failed to build on to the momentum they achieved in the second quarter, making it easy for the Reds to close out the win. Wing Dom Shipperley touched down shortly after the kick-off, while Harris slotted a penalty to confirm the result. Anscombe's second penalty was the Blues' only points after the break.
Ewen McKenzie's charges are now in a good position to challenge for first place in the Australian conference, which will secure an automatic play-off place. For the Blues, however, they'll be playing for pride … or what's left of it.

1. Apply smoothing cream to damp hair and blow dry straight using a paddle brush.
2. Use a 1-inch curling iron to curl just the ends of your hair in small sections. Keep it on the lowest setting, so you don't totally scorch your hair (yikes).
3. Finger comb through your curled ends after you're done to loosen them.
4. Mist all over with lightweight hairspray and spritz your ends with a bit of shine spray to make them look healthier.
