Local dance group Ecnad to close next year after 17 years
Published on Dec 17, 2012 3:16 PM
Contemporary dance group Ecnad, one of the oldest here, will be winding up next year, after 17 years.
Its co-founder and artistic director Lim Chin Huat, 43, has been scaling back operations for the past few years to prepare for the transition.
He tells Life!: "Initially, it was a painful decision. It's kind of like my baby. So now, it's like I have to kill this baby. But I think if I don't let go, things might not move on.
"I have to move with the times. In the past three years, it's been difficult because I do feel that I've been doing the same old thing, even if it's different projects and trying out different collaborations. Somehow I feel that it's not possible to transform Ecnad again."

The panel advising FIFA on anti- corruption measures is in talks to add more members, said Mark Pieth, the Swiss law professor hired last month to lead the overhaul at soccer's governing body.
The man charged with helping FIFA recover from a series of corruption scandals likened his task to Baron Munchhausen "pulling himself out of the swamp" by his hair in Rudolph Raspe's story about the 18th century nobleman.
The anti-corruption adviser for world soccer's governing body today said the Swiss government may be needed to reform FIFA amid concerns that proposed changes will be blocked by European members.
The naming of two former FIFA officials who accepted millions of dollars in kickbacks may expedite reform, according to the Swiss law professor overseeing the soccer body's cleanup.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter and the board of soccer's ruling body may not agree on plans requiring them to reveal their salaries and introduce term and age limits, according to an official overseeing reforms at the organization.
FIFA's anti-corruption adviser said he won't "rush to any decisions" about quitting his post even though the global soccer body's executive failed to back several proposals he described as essential.
"This is definitely an advance."

This is exactly the reason some people are pissed about the "clubman" line.
Anyhow, the problem across the country is, the "scuttlebutt" or webforum info passed around, about the CLUBMAN line has alwasy been that it is setup to be hard "intermediate." However, TOOO FREAKING MANY clubs, the NAME "intermediate" is or can be, one full step below what they were talking about when they said INTERMEDIATE... Intermediate is where I am, MANY clubs in the USA, seems to have called that level of difficulty, by a different name!
So, when I rightfully goto nationals to ride clubman, People who's club names these differently, would be pissed as hell at me thinking I rode down, but I didn't.
Guaranteed info here. I rode MY first nationals... in 2010 which was the 1st year of clubman, the 1st event Tishomingo OK. The week before (maybe it was 2 weeks before) I rode MY CLASS (Sr Expert which is just more or less a separate scoring class from regular intermediates for old farts, for MY club, sometimes we have a split for sr, tighter turns but all in all intermediate lines.)
WELL!!! The weekend before the Nationals, for the event known as the SOONER CUP, you needed to know, that the Clubman line was the sections (with modifications, to all of them a little, and some new ones of course) of the exact class that I had won at sooner cup. that is how I know what challenge what class is at the nationals. For reasons Ill explain if asked, I rode sp-40 at nationals, which rode the expert line from the week before, yes there were new sections, and every section they made changes otherwise, but the main POINT is I know what level they are! Exact difficulty in other words.
This is partly because our "national organization" and individual clubs, just wont by golly agree that all clubs should be somewhat compulsory to use same class names, or at the very least class "difficulty" designations with them... CLubs say "we aint changing shit" and memebers that vote at NATC don't want to lose clubs to a stupid argument on the surface.
and really it is about changing the NAME, jesus chrysler, or add a level designation for them, so we all know that skill level 3 is, in other words, what my club calls Intermediate, His club called advanced... "3" being whatever, could be ABC, or 0123, or F1 d2 whatever.
My initial thoughts are like this (since 0 is a clean and best score)
3=Intermediate / Sr Expert
4=Amature / Sr Amature
5=Novice / beginners
6 might be kids, dirtbikes, and beginners
SOmeone gave me information of classes for like some club in Washington: The designations work even if they wont rename the classes so we're all "standardized". No other organization calls same level of competition differently across the country@!
6 Beginner
5 Novice
4 intermediate / Sr, intermediate
3 Advanced
2 Expert
1 Champ
Least we all then know what is what...

You make some good points here. I would be more in favor of keeping class names rather than numbers however. What if a club only has four classes (Novice, Intermediate, Expert and Pro), how would they determine what numbers to apply? I think it would be great if we could at least standardize three classes (Beginner, Intermediate and Expert). The Pro class could be reserved for National Competition only. Then if a club wants to add classes, they can. The number of classes a club has should always be an odd number (3,5 or 7) so the Intermediate class is always in the middle, sense that is what intermediate means--middle. The problem is what to name the classes between Beginner and Intermediate, and between Intermediate and Expert. Here's what I think may work and is somewhat in line with NATC structure:
Now if we could get everyone to use colored gates and limit the number of lines in a section to three, we'll be in business.

nwcycle, Seek first to understand. People always misread our local club results because they don't know the back story.
Our club has very few riders and less than 5 'afternoon' riders show up at a typical event so to encourage some of 'morning' class riders to move up to intermediate \ afternoon sections without getting beat all the time some of us moved up a 'class'. When I ride 'expert' in our local club events I'm always in last place. If I 'win' it is because I'm the only one in the class. Our last event had 9 riders. Further our "Expert" lines are milder than what we'd see in TX, KS, NM or anywhere else for that matter. In short our afternoon riders ride up a 'class' in name only but the level of difficulty is one line lower than the name would imply. Outside of our local club events I'll ride Sr. Exp which is a slightly more challenging Intermediate line. I have maybe 3 or 4 event wins in the last 6 or 7 years in our regional area.
I tried the support line at NATS two years ago and got my ass kicked. I looked at the scores of guys I ride with that went to the East Coast rounds this year that rode support line and calculated I'd get my ass kicked again. Thus decided to ride Clubman. I didn't come to that decision easily and struggled for several weeks which way to go. But Clubman is an Intermediate line and at the end of the day I'm an Intermediate level rider - sometimes a good one, sometimes not so good but Intermediate none the less.
Any time I get the chance I'll ride at Sipapu. I've ridden events there many times in the past, including 6-8 weeks ago in June, so I know how that place rides thus I had an advantage over others that haven't been there before. The AZ rounds were more typical results where I was 5th and 3rd. If I was trophy hunting I could have ridden SR-55 in AZ and 'won' second, which would also have been last place and I'd have 10 times more points than the winner.
Finally regarding trophy time: I'm not a big sit around the camp fire \ pits and chat kinda guy. I was traveling with my son, who doesn't give a rats ass about riding motorcycles, (blasphemy I know) so when done we headed to Taos for dinner on Saturday. On Sunday had to hit the road to get back to work. Certainly no disrespect meant towards the organizers or competitors but life happens and I've got stuff to do.
That's the story - happy to discuss further if needed. If you need Brad Baumert's email to discuss "sandbagging" further with him let me know and I'll send it to you.

No one should ever be expected to ride outside thier comfort level.We are all riding for fun.Lets keep it fun.We all have lives outside of trials.For me the compitition is me against the terrain,not the other riders.I have helped and been helped by riders in my class.We often walk and discuss the sections together.Thats what makes trials special to me.

Sorry it took me so long to reply I got busy. The problem is solveable by the Nationals and the people that are in those, have been to most of the club or we have riders that ride different states and stuff like that, that's how the decision will be whether not you're novice the equals our novice?? Sound fair?.
Any other way of doing it other than people who travel might be able to help your club figure it out, or you may have to guess at it.
but the main thing is, it's sad to hear people that are just one step above novice thinking they're being beaten by another person that just graduated novice, when realistically they're competing against former experts or damn near experts because we don't name our Club classes the same way.
? Then it'd be nice if nationals used similiar structure sometime, since the more that show up the better? AND I think more show up if it doesn't seem unrealistic to ride against your peers instead of better by longshot than you, me or whoever hoped to ride against.

Adding the number before the class could simply be on the website... so you would look great your classes 0 through 6 on your website only or maybe on your sign up sheets... that way a rider comes to California, wants to enter his own class at your club he has a clue that "what do you sign up for?" listen we have results based on well I'm in expert I'm rode in expert or whatever "Aquarius" claas it was called. That's all the 0123 is about... don't have to show anywhere else. With my plan or thought.

Regardless of class names, which are subjective, a more objective approach is needed. Borrowing something from the Utah club a year or two ago I started a more objective \ measurable approach to section building for our club so that guys had some sort of guideline for building sections http://www.neott.com/sectionsetting.htm so that rather than having someone's opinion determine what is too easy or too hard we have something to go by.
Another approach that I've thought about but haven't completely built out is a skills\techniques to class matrix. That gets a little tricky because I've ridden with guys that can splatter big walls but can't turn for nothing so where do you put them on the matrix...? Anyway that is another thing on my to-do list...

No, no no no! The names might be subjective, just because clubs or "controlling boards" have not decided that it would be the greater good of TRIALS in general to "standardize" this stuff. We have people that travel, I do NOT believe central usa is that unique... We even have "staff" if nothing else that travel, just NATC for nationals "referees" they know what looks like a duck quacks like a duck, is a duck.
So far though, what I am talking about, if you will look at your LONG explanation post above, as an example... Where you say your "expert" class is not really expert anymore. fine call it expert, but give it the "level," then, on website and or signup sheets or resutls, and all that... this way NWCYCLE isn't all over your ass for Cherry Picking, but more importantly, we dont have 20 AMATURE level guys all pissed because they think they had a shot at clubman and are pissed when a "clubman" level rider showed up!
I for one dont necessarily want to change the world, and start calling expert the "2 line" or whatever but some clubs dont have even a class called Master, and some have "pro riders" that ride a class called "champ" which again is hard to tell what the line difficulty really is. And like I said earlier about the club up in the northwest called their amature class Intermediate, so did NMTA, the intermediate was what my dad rides in Kansas as Sr Amature...
All about this class names being unique across the country instead of being the same, this is pretty much ridiculous in today's age. The PEE WEE world series doesn't have some people that are college aged, semi pro, nor old fart beer league. Yet this is exactly what has been left in place for trials clubs across the USA... then like I said before, when you enter or read results, you think "ok, intermediate which around here is just under expert, but Joe in Florida knows that all he knows is, intermediate is just above novice, and now everyone is at odds with who entered what class.
NOw watch, they'll just get rid of clubman, instead of figuring this all out, to save the perception of arguing. I call it a debate, I guess I wont ever really care if you (not just you mike, but all who read MY posts on this subject) like my thoughts, but I put it out there so maybe others might agree or disagree, but someday something might be done. We all can see the problem, I added why I think the problem is such a problem...
Hell, last thought quick... What if nothing else NATC has a list of what the class (main classes, not just the Senior add ons) listed somewhere, this way when the say "intermediate" level, you look up on that site, see where intermediate falls on the list? this way when Jerry Blow, looks and sees intermediate is just below expert instead of just above novicce, maybe he'll influence his club to not make the class names so far off from the norm, and I am not saying my club has it right neither, maybe, depends on how the NATC (our figurehead authority at least) calls the shots.
Lets say they make a list ranking the classes at the friggin nationals at least...
EXPERT & expert 125?.............................MASTER
Expert SPortsman & HighSchool? ........... (none)
Sportsman & Junior ................................(none)
Support ................................................ Expert
Clubman ................................................ Intermediate
(none) .................................................. . Amature
(none) .................................................. Novice
(NONE) ................................................. Beginner/dirtbike/cadet
I don't know for sure which class is what though, But I think those are the basic classes hard to easy. Im guessin at the "&" classes as far as what line difficulty they rode? Im putting AVTA's classes I ranked earlier in the thread, along side this list, so then am I even close? I dont know. they have more classes between pro and expert than our club has total, Obviously.
I dunno, what say you all?

Our top class is more equal to expert.
Our Master class to expert sportsman.
Our Experts are able to make sportsman an easy line.
Semi = clubman pretty close.

The Clubman lines (that I saw) at the Sipapu National was more like our Sportsman line and at one of the sections that we scored it was even more like an easy Intermediate. Go figure.
The Support lines that I saw were more like our easy Semi-EX. The EX lines were like our EX.
You really shouldn't need a decoder ring to figure all of this out.

60 New Companies Commit to Hiring Military Spouses
Yesterday, I had the honor of attending the Fall 2013 Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP) Induction Ceremony. At the event, 60 corporations, small businesses and other organizations were officially inducted as MSEP partners. Induction to MSEP means that these corporate partners are joining a network of over 200 organizations committed to helping military spouses find and maintain employment, increasing access to education and training, and providing career exploration opportunities.
As a military spouse, I too have struggled with career continuity. Many moves, unexpected orders, and short assignments can often impede a spouse's ability to build their ideal career. Joining Forces and spouses like me would like to thank MSEP and the MSEP Partners for expanding employment and career development opportunities for the military spouse community.
Military spouses are well educated and highly qualified, yet many are unable to secure a rewarding career. In many cases, military spouses move from one community to another when their spouses are assigned to new duty stations. These transfers can make it very difficult for spouses to continue with their careers or to find similar jobs in new locations. The Military Spouse Employment Partnership is helping to change that.
As the popular saying goes, 'What's good for Main Street is good for Wall Street.' Our military spouses and veterans are good for business. They are team focused and tech savvy. Since the launch of the MSEP program in June 2011, MSEP partners have hired more than 55,000 military spouses and are making a tangible impact on military families across the globe.

In addition to the reference guides, FAQs, and additional resources located within this website, if you have questions about the effort certification process, or about effort commitments on sponsored projects, or suggestions for additional information you would like to see on this website, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs at (956) 882-7849 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Time and effort certification Period
Time & Effort Certification will open on March 23, 2015 and close April 6, 2015 for both the Summer 2014 and Fall 2014 semesters. Certifications for the Summer 2014 & Fall 2014 periods were delayed due to the upgrade implementation of the Effort Certification and Reporting Technology (ECRT) system. Certification will be open at the same time for both performance periods, therefore, in some instances, two effort statements may have to be ceritifed. Check your e-mails or our Sponsored Programs website for updates as to when the certification period will open.

personal information is necessary. Further, privacy policies should be published and widely distributed, and the public should be given an opportunity to comment on any changes….
6. Election officials should rigorously test the usability, security and reliability of VRDs while they are being designed and while they are in use.
Testing is a critical tool that can reveal that "real-world" poll workers find interfaces confusing and unusable, expose security flaws in the system, or that the system is likely to fail under the stress of Election Day. All of these issues, if caught before they are problems through testing will reduce voter fraud and the disenfranchisement of legitimate voters….
Security Against Technical Attacks
… [M]echanisms should be deployed to detect any penetration of system defenses, as well as any insider misuse. For example, application-specific intrusion detection systems could be used to monitor the number of updates to the VRD. Any large spike in activity, whether by an authorized user or in the aggregate, might warrant human attention. In addition, officials could consider contracting with a third-party network security monitoring service to detect network intrusions and attempted attacks on the system….
… Officials should consider including an independent security review and publication of the software as part of the acceptance testing for the system. Claims that the security of the system will be endangered by such a review should be treated with extreme skepticism or rejected outright….

Confidentiality. A secure system keeps protected information away from those who should not have access to it. Examples of failures that affect the confidentiality of a VRD include an unauthorized party obtaining voter information on a large scale or a spouse abuser obtaining the address of his/her spouse from a VRD even if such information is supposed to be protected from disclosure.
Integrity. A secure system produces its intended results or information, regardless of whether or not the system has been attacked. When integrity is violated, the system may continue to operate, but under some circumstances of operation it does not provide accurate results or information that one would normally expect. Failures of integrity of a VRD include both inclusion of noneligible individuals and unauthorized exclusion of eligible registered voters, as well as unauthorized modifications to data fields such as addresses, birth dates, or voting histories.
Availability. A secure system is available for normal use even in the face of high load or an attack. An example of a failure in availability might be a system that is clogged with so much bad data that the system no longer operates reliably (typically this refers to electronic attempts to overwhelm a system but also could occur in the nonelectronic domain; for example, a flood of bogus paper voter registration applications might attempt to overwhelm the data-entry staff in a particularly critical jurisdiction).

The door was not shutting easily and the plastic receptacle in the door latch assembly was difficult to move. I removed the front cover by removing the door and the hinge covers on the other side of the door hinges, pulled off the front cover, and unscrewed the vertical bolts that hold the top in the front corners. Also removed the soap dispenser (4) screws so the top would lift to allow access to the door latch assembly bolts. These two bolts were removed, the wire plugs undone and the latch assembly replaced. Installation in reverse order. The troubleshooting guide explained why the cycle would still not complete after the latch replacement: There was a little water in the washer and I had to run the spin cycle to drain it. Then it worked normally.

GRANDISLE, La. - A young Montegut man drowned at a Grand Isle beach over the weekend, authorities said.
The undertow took Desmond Van Buren, 22, near a rock jetty, and firefighters and paramedics were able to recover his body soon after.Firefighters and Grand Isle State Park officials got the call Saturday afternoon and began searching for him in the water by foot and by boat. He floated to the surface about minutes into the search, and responders brought him to shore to and performed CPR, fire and park officials said.'But he didn't make it,' Grand Isle Fire Chief Aubrey Chiasson said.Desmond was at the beach with Cheryl LeBouef's 15-year-old daughter and 20-year-old niece, LeBouef said.LeBouef said her daughter was originally caught by the undertow and Van Buren went after her to save her. She survived, but then the undertow caught him, according to LeBouef.LeBouef said she was grieving over Van Buren's death and was grateful that he saved her daughter's life.'When I get to heaven, I'll thank him personally,' she said. 'My prayers and thoughts will always be with the family.'Grand Isle's beaches are not supervised by lifeguards, and signs warn beach-goers to swim at their own risk.

On Saturday I took part in my first 'parkrun'. This is a weekly 5k run organised by volunteers and held in 305 park locations across the UK (and 561 in the world). Once registered free of charge, runners receive a barcode that allows them to receive their result after each run, which can be in any participating park.
The New Year often signals the start of fitness campaigns for many people, but in some respects it's the hardest time of year to do so being in the midst of winter with shorter days and poor weather. It does however present the opportunity for a big psychological win if you can conquer these challenging factors and jump on the fitness wagon towards your chosen goal. ..
I'm a massive believer in the psychological benefits of running, as well as the more often talked about physical ones. Let's face it, daily life is fast paced, frantic and stressful for the majority of the population, so the opportunity to escape this world for a short while, on a regular basis, has to be a good thing.
Now with all my infinite wisdom and 29 years I know that everything in this life that you want you must work and work incredibly hard at and for. I used to think I was good at working at my weaknesses but really what I would do was work at what I was good at and try and become great at that and completely neglect the things I found the toughest.
The other weekend I was given the opportunity to run a 10k in Paris, amazing right? Yes, but that was mainly due to the Paris part, less the 10k. So let me fill you in on a little secret, before that weekend I had never run a 10k. So I was thinking, I wish that I had been told a few things about running your first 10k which would have made my life a little easier.
What a waste of a life. All those highs and lows. All those start again Mondays, and "Damn, I've blown it now" moments. Where in this NHS plan is there a mention of health and happiness, or dealing with the psychological side of weight gain, where does it mention being active and learning to love physical activity?
The first time it happened I was running on a busy street and three men in a white van beeped their horn and yelled something about my 'tight ass' as I crossed their path. I felt the heat rising to my face and a stab of anger in the pit of my stomach, but I thought 'whatever, they're just sad old men who don't know how to talk to women', I flipped them the bird and upped my pace.

Watch Jason Isbell's Austin City Limits Outtakes; New Country Fest Comes to Cincinnati; Album Releases
- "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" was inspired by a dog. Songwriter Richard Leigh explains in this video (in true country fashion, the dog dies at the end of Leigh's story and it's really sad).
- Ralph Stanley's show at the Old Town School of Folk Music was reviewed in The Chicago Tribune. (Just ignore the part where Stanley's late brother is referred to as "Clarence." Hopefully that'll get fixed soon.)
- Rosanne Cash is everywhere, man: she talked with our pal Henry Carrigan for American Songwriter, picked road trip tunes for Esquire, did a Q&A with Gavin Edwards of Rolling Stone, and played "Etta's Tune" for CMT Edge with John Leventhal.
- Jim Lauderdale played "Throw My Bucket Down" for Relix.com.
- Watch outtakes from Jason Isbell and Neko Case's episode of Austin City Limits.
- Tim McGraw's new single is just awful. It's (appropriately) streaming on EW.com. McGraw will kick off his Sundown Heaven Town 2014 Tour in May.
- Check out a behind-the-scenes video of The Haden Triplets as they record their new album, which includes a fine version of "Single Girl, Married Girl." (warning: autoplay)
- Stream Tom Brousseau's Grass Punks. It is neither bluegrass nor punk, but still worth a listen-through.
- Korby Lenker will release a self-titled album on March 25. In other Lenker news, he recently filmed a video for the Department of Health & Human Services. (via press release)
- The Buckle Up Music Festival is coming to Cincinnati in July. The festival's website says it'll be a three-day, six-stage bash on "the banks of the Ohio," which is either a humorous nod to country music history or the result of murder ballad obliviousness.
- CMT Edge posted a new Roosevelt Dime song.
- Chuck Dauphin chats with Mary Chapin Carpenter about her new orchestral album.
- Dauphin also spoke with Jennifer Nettles about her new record.
- "Crying in the Rain" is the American Songwriter Lyric of the Week.
- From The Austin Chronicle: "At what cost does the vinyl revolution come?"
- Hard Working Americans were featured on The Huffington Post.
- This week's album releases (thanks for continuing to support E145 by purchasing your music through our affiliate links — it doesn't cost you extra, but helps us keep the lights on):
Rosanne Cash – The River and the Thread
Jennifer Nettles – That Girl
Lone Justice – This is Lone Justice: The Vaught Tapes, 1983
Mary Chapin Carpenter – Songs From the Movie
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings – Give the People What They Want
Jon Pardi – Write You a Song
Bruce Springsteen – High Hopes
Blackie & The Rodeo Kings – South
David Broza – East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem
Fox & The Bird – Darkest Hours
Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sounds – Fine Rude Thing

That Tim McGraw songs is awful…just awful…
I'm sure the McGraw record is great…for people who enjoy listening to that kind of product–And it will be even better when the accompanying video is released.
And the guy operating the computer/auto-tuner seems very competent–I'll bet that if McGraw were not available, he could have made the same record with whatever other singer happened to show up at the studio.
Was a single musician involved in the creation of that Tim McGraw cut?!?
That new McGraw single sucks.
You KNOW a song sucks when Matt Bjorke gives it a negative review. If he can't even muster a positive review, then hell has completely frozen over as far as quality music is concerned. As terrible as "Lookin' for That Girl" truly is, I can't help but feel it's slightly better then the worst of the worst.
I was listening to Sirius/XM's The Highway this morning when "That's How We Roll" by FGL and Luke Bryan came on. I decided to give it a chance, to see just how low country music can go. I turned it off the second I heard Tyler Hubbard mention Hank Williams (Jr I believe) and Drake in the same sentence. In lieu of being tortured any longer (not even 30 seconds in) I switched to Willie's Roadhouse in time to hear "I'm The Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised" in its entirety. I'm forever grateful for Johnny Paycheck for saving the day.
The Jennifer Nettles album is very wordy.

The Man I Married
My husband isn't the same man he used to be. But that's OK: I'm not the same woman he married, either.
When I had been married for a little over a year, a neighbor made a confession to me: "My husband is not the man I married."
Young, naïve, and perplexed, I asked what she meant. "When he was on call one night and coming back late, he was in an auto accident," she told me. "He's been different since then. His personality changed totally." I was surprised to hear this; they seemed happy, had two children and a beautiful townhouse filled with lovely art in a vibrant city. From my perspective as a graduate student married to a graduate student, living in three rented rooms filled with furniture from IKEA or things we had inherited from deceased relatives, her life looked pretty good. But clearly, there was an undercurrent of sadness and disappointment in her life that I could not yet fathom from my youthful perspective.
Now, as my own 23rd anniversary approaches on June 3, I can finally understand. My husband hasn't suffered an unfortunate accident, had a sudden change of personality, or undergone an unforeseen emotional shift. But after 23 years, I know that my husband, too, is not the man I married. Then again, I'm not the woman he married, either.
When I met the man who has become my husband, it had been almost a year and a half—an eternity for a college student—since I'd had a boyfriend, or even a date. I desperately wanted to meet someone. But I was going to Israel in four short months for my junior year and had ultimately decided that I'd certainly meet someone of interest there, so I didn't much care what happened to my dating life in the meantime. One Saturday afternoon in April, I went for a walk in Riverside Park with a friend, and we bumped into a guy playing Frisbee. He was in the Jewish Theological Seminary's Hebrew production of Yankim Arurim—Damn Yankees—with my friend. He was skinny and handsome, with a head full of thick, beautiful hair and gorgeous blue eyes. We talked, and, though he was friendly, he didn't seem all that interested in me—which I found out later was because he liked my friend, who did not reciprocate his feelings in the slightest.
I tried again, remembering where he said he studied in the JTS library; I went looking for him one day at lunchtime, pretending my careful plan was a coincidence. We did have lunch, and enjoyed each other's company, but once I told him I'd be leaving for Israel soon, any budding interest he might have had waned entirely. Somehow, I had the courage to call him with the (valid) excuse that I'd been asked by a Columbia student group to give a speech about havdalah—since he was a rabbinical student, I asked, maybe he could help me? He did, though I would have managed perfectly well on my own if I didn't seek an excuse to call him. He came to hear my talk, and, when I was nervous walking from my dorm to the sundial in the middle of Columbia's campus, he put his arm around me. Instantly, I felt comfortable.
We dated over the end of spring and summer, not planning for our relationship to become at all serious since I was leaving in the fall. Over the summer we grew closer and more serious, but decided it made the most sense to date other people since we would be separated for a year and it wouldn't be fair to tie each other down when we had only known each other only a few months.
That year we were apart, he and I used to make tapes, actual cassette tapes (I am dating myself here), and mail them to each other. I would walk around Jerusalem in 1987 and '88 with my now impossibly clunky-seeming Walkman and my future husband's voice in my ears, telling me about his classes, things he was thinking about, and what was going on in his life. I remember walking up Aza Street to the Great Synagogue on King George to hear Avivah Zornberg give her classes on the Torah portion of the week. In a thoughtful gesture, he sent me Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being after I told him that Zornberg had referenced it in one of her classes, and it was hard to access English books in Israel in those pre-Amazon days.
A year after I returned from Israel, we got engaged.
He loved Billy Joel and the Beatles, and comedy recordings of all persuasions, a legacy from his Grandpa Dave who loved to tell jokes. He was a slight hypochondriac, and we joked about the bulging medicine kit he needed to bring even to travel for short periods. We loved to discuss current events and intellectual matters, Jewish texts and modern novels. He knew way more about Shakespeare than I—a future comp lit Ph.D.—did, and his religion major in college gave him a great deal of knowledge about the minutiae of almost any major religion that the rest of us have no clue about. That's the man I stood with under the huppah.
Twenty-three years later, he still has all his hair, which is barely flecked with gray. (I can't say the same for my increasingly salt-and-pepper locks.) And though he has gained a bit of weight and rarely wears the jeans I found so attractive when I met him, he is still devastatingly handsome to me.
He still loves Billy Joel and the Beatles and has some kind of satellite radio with all kinds of comedy to listen to as he drives to the homes of patients he sees as a hospice chaplain. He can still tell a joke extremely well to an appreciative audience; the late Grandpa Dave, of blessed memory, must be kvelling in absentia every time a good Jewish joke hits its mark. He knows even more about religions of all stripes, working regularly with a huge variety of patients of all religious backgrounds; whenever our kids have a question about other people's religious practices they are referred to their Abba. We still both read and discuss current events and books we read, and helped each other prepare classes for the recent Tikkun Leil Shavuot. We generally have a discussion about some aspect of the week's parsha, if only for me to suggest sermon topics or him to help me with a column I am writing. We spent a Shabbat together—sans offspring—to hear Avivah Zornberg speak in a nearby city last year and generally get to see a Shakespeare play, somewhere, every year.
But other things have changed unexpectedly. I never imagined the illnesses he'd face, and their gravity. He has a bad back and isn't always able to do all kinds of physical things that were once simple tasks. This recent recession has hit us hard, and we've faced troubles over jobs and housing that now cause him insomnia, which is only exacerbated by the noisy CPAP machine he now needs to sleep. That medicine kit he used to have has grown larger, as has the number of physicians he consults regularly, to manage various medical issues.
He is certainly not the man I married. But unlike my neighbor from all those years ago, I don't see this as a crisis. Because he's not the only one who's changed.
Continue reading: A dance for two
I, too, have gained weight since our wedding day and don't exercise as often as I should. I'd thought when I married that I'd get a Ph.D. and teach full time at a university and do my own nonacademic writing on the side. I do have a Ph.D. and have had teaching jobs, although I am not currently employed at a regular one with a regular paycheck. I don't make much money as a freelance writer, and for this I feel guilty: I could be helping the family more if I earned more. But I have a contract for one book anthology and a sequel, and interest in my first novel from a publisher and an agent, and have been working steadily on a second. I have a flourishing freelance career, even if the work produces much less compensation than I'd like. And my husband is patient with me, excited for my gradual successes, and hopeful for my dreams of eventual publication.
For my most recent birthday, the man who is not the man I married surprised me with four dance lessons for us to take together. I'd thought it would be a chance to put on heels, a skirt, and lipstick and go a bit wild to salsa tunes, but many participants came in jeans and sweats, and most of the class was spent going over the steps without music. Moving backward, forward, and to the side, in proper pattern and sync, we needed to get all the moves together smoothly before we were ready for music. Mostly, we just shuffled around until the music went on at the end of class; after an hour of rehearsal, we danced to music for five minutes, gliding around, staying in step together, not crashing into any other couples. This seemed like a metaphor for our life together—many lovely moments of music and gliding, punctuating the dreariness and chores of the vast majority of everyday existence.
Though I am still a horrible dancer with a tin ear, I relished that gift of fluid movement in the dance class and those moments of gliding in step, quick-quick-slow, to the beat. The unexpected loveliness and grace that came in those moments, like having the piano music of my daughter practicing fill the house as I make dinner or clean up afterward, make me grateful to be with the man I did not marry.
In The Unbearable Lightness of Being, the question of es muss sein—"it must be so"—appears in various keys. Must it be so? Or not? "Love lies beyond 'Es muss sein!' " Kundera writes. There is no unilateral "must be" in love, I believe; remaining in a partnership, unexpected changes and all, is a choice that must be made deliberately and hopefully.
Our expectations, that a person will be a certain way or appear at a particular time, can create the most unhappiness for most of us. Once we accept that we can be happy with who our spouse is, and who we are, while still committing to change and improve (yes, I will start swimming more now that summer is here), we may find those feelings of disappointment fading away. I do know that my neighbors of my youth are still married and grandparents, despite their not being who they were under the huppah.
The parsha we were married on, Beha'alotekha (Numbers 8-12), contains the possibility of a second Passover; if one can't bring the sacrifice on the 14th of Nisan one has another opening to bring it the next month, on the 14th of Iyar. Opportunities to achieve closeness and connection, the Torah seems to be saying, are never lost forever and may be postponed to a later date. The process of letting go of expectations, of enjoying what comes to me whether I expect it or not, is not natural for me. I don't want to agonize about the ways in which my husband and I are not the people we were as bride and groom; part of maturity is the process of letting go, acknowledging my lack of control even from the time we met. Though my husband isn't the man I married, nor I the woman he married, we can enjoy each other for who we are now, noisy CPAP machine and all. I didn't think I'd meet my husband when I did, or that I would enjoy dancing with him so much, klutz that I still am. Nothing in life must be so: It is only our efforts to find and cherish what is lovely and unexpected, not worries about what a spouse must be, that will bring us joy. And hope that this acknowledgement of the need to let go of control over those we love prepares us to watch and wait as our eldest goes off on her own adventures in Jerusalem this fall.

It's nice to know that it's even possible to hand craft small batches of paper. Perhaps some enterprising soul will take it upon themselves to set up shop and begin offering various handcoated papers. The key is knowing that we have choices going into the future and that we don't have to be entirely dependent on th whims of large commercial manufacturers for materials.

Multifaceted Interventions: A Multifactorial Program
Wagner, et al.
On this Page
This study tested a moderate-intensity intervention that used tailored strategies based on assessments of each participant's risk factors. After 1 year, participants were 10 percent less likely to fall and 5 percent less likely to have an injurious fall, compared with people who received usual medical care.
All participants were 65 or older and lived in the community. About 60 percent of participants were female.
Geographic Locale
Seattle, Washington, United States
Reduce disability and/or falls by: improving physical fitness, modifying excessive alcohol use, improving home safety, reducing psychoactive medication use, and improving hearing and vision.
Program Setting
Participants received the assessments and interventions from a nurse at local health maintenance organization (HMO) centers. Participants conducted a home assessment or had it done by a family member or volunteer.
The assessments consisted of simple screening tests for 6 risk factors. The intervention content varied based on the individual's risk factors.
|Risk Factor
|Inadequate exercise
|Participated in a 2-hour exercise orientation class testing fitness, given exercise instruction, and encouraged to begin a program of brisk walking
|Use of psychoactive drug
|Reviewed medications using a pharmacist and sent written recommendations to the participant's primary care provider
|Impaired vision
|Corrected when possible. Participants with uncorrectable visual impairments received information about available community resources
|Impaired hearing
|Had a hearing aid evaluation. Program provided behavioral intervention classes for participants with uncorrectable deficits
|Excessive alcohol use
|Referred to an alcohol treatment program if alcoholism was suspected, or given an instructional booklet that provided strategies for limiting use
|Home hazards
|Assessed home safety using an instructional home safety checklist
The initial visit consisted of a 1- to 1½-hour interview. The length and number of subsequent sessions varied by the type of interventions selected for each participant.
Delivered by
The program was delivered by a single nurse educator who received brief training by the research team. There was no formal curriculum because only 1 nurse was involved. Either trained volunteers or participants' family members completed the home safety assessment using the provided checklist.
Minimum Level of Training Needed
Information was not provided by the principal investigator.
Key Elements
The nurse's follow-up phone contacts and home visits may have had positive effects on participants' health that were independent of the interventions for specific risk factors.
Available Materials
No intervention materials were available for distribution at the time of publication.

Medical Pathologist: Job Description, Salary and Career Outlook
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a medical pathologist. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and training to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Medical pathologists are physicians who specialize in diagnosing and studying diseases using laboratory methods. Many of these jobs require completion of medical school, as well as post-graduate training though residencies. Licensure is required for all kinds of physicians, and board certification is available for pathologists. Since many medical pathologists spend the majority of their time in the laboratory, this career may be best-suited for individuals who do not desire much patient contact.
|Required Education
|Completion of medical school and a residency
|Additional requirements
|Medical license; board certification is optional but often preferred
|Projected Job Growth
|18% for all physicians and surgeons from 2012-2022*
|Median Salary
|$174,544 as of October 2014**
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, **PayScale.com
Job Description for a Medical Pathologist
Medical pathologists are usually either clinical or anatomical pathologists. Clinical pathologists mainly examine body fluids, including blood, urine and bone marrow. They may conduct toxicology tests seeking the presence of illegal drugs and poisons, run a hospital blood bank and test patients' immune functions to detect allergies and toleration of transplant organs. Anatomical pathologists analyze samples of tissue and cells to aid in determining the diagnosis and cause of diseases. Once samples have been removed via surgery, biopsies or fine needle aspirations, anatomical pathologists may freeze and examine them under a microscope to view any abnormalities.
Although they most often work in hospitals, medical pathologists also can be found in clinics, medical schools, the military and government agencies. They are considered the 'doctor's doctor' because they aid doctors in making diagnosis, treatment and management decisions in hospitals and clinics. After consulting with clinicians, they conduct prescribed tests, analyze the results and prepare reports based on their findings.
In medical schools and government agencies, medical pathologists may work in research and teaching positions. They use sophisticated technology, such as electron microscopy and computer modeling, to make discoveries about the origins and functions of diseases. As teachers, they may lecture in classrooms but are just as often found working in laboratories with students on an individual basis.
Medical Pathologist Salary and Career Outlook
According to PayScale.com, medical pathologists earned a median yearly salary of $174,544 as of October 2014. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the number of jobs for all physicians and surgeons was forecast to increase 18% in the period between 2012 and 2022 (www.bls.gov). This growth was expected in part due to healthcare needs caused by an increase in the senior citizen population. Because the elderly are particularly susceptible to diseases like cancer, medical pathologists, who are instrumental in diagnosing cancer, should be increasingly in demand.

The power of the music pioneered by his father fuels Seun Kuti's ties to Egypt 80
"But then it became a multinational corporate brand, and hip-hop became a corporate vending machine and lost the ideals of preaching black empowerment. I used to love (seminal New York hip-hop group) Public Enemy and their song, 'Fight the Power.' I don't see them fighting the power now."
Like his father in earlier decades, Kuti is devoted to focusing attention on government corruption in his long-embattled Nigerian homeland. His tone and determination recall his famous dad, who — in a 1989 San Diego Union interview — declared: "I used to say, 'Music is the weapon of the future,' but the future is now. I'm fighting for oppressed humanity. It's as simple as that."
Seun Kuti, who recently led a public march in the Nigerian capital of Lagos to protest soaring fuel prices, reflected on his late father's words.
"That's the Fela I grew up knowing," he said. "Fela was a philosopher who played his music for the sake of the music itself, on behalf of Africans. At my shows, I let people know that this is original African music. I believe my music stands for change and the development of African music, from an African perspective. This gives my music more substance and makes it a lot more important to me, because life has importance."
