The actual clip of our heroes and heroines debuting a new tune ("When the World Comes to an End") last night is above, but the real story last night might be their profound effect on Questlove, who pegged them for arty Brooklyn types immediately but nonetheless found himself completely smitten -- this backstage video is really incredibly sweet. Note the loose talk near the end about a possible future collaboration.

Thread: Death in Bathtub

Death in Bathtub
I'm mostly a painter classic user, but in this one I tried to make photoshop do more of the work for me, I drew the wall, floor and wallpaper as seamless tiles in painter and then tried to use photoshop to apply them to the propper areas. I think that choice might have bit me in the ass.

I dig the subdued colors scheme and the textures. The piece is falling a little flat visually. Perhapse you should suggest a stronger light source cast some deeper shadows so the piece has more dimension. Also, study how a form looks submerged in water, and how the light reflects off the water onto nearby objects. The two towels are too similar, it almost looks like one is copied and pasted from the other.
Keep going-push yourself-find that water reference and this will be a really cool piece. Good luck!

I'm surprised there weren't more comments on this. I love the watercolor look you achieved with the primary subject. I think that's probably the best part of the piece. A few things bother me though...
The tiling on the floor is definately out of perspective and I believe the walls are too. Those definately need to be tweaked/fixed.
The figure itself...I'd like to see the water affecting the scene more. ie. her hair looks too solid...hair underwater has a whispy quality..make me feel that her head is submerged. Pull that hair out and float it around a bit. Also, I'm assuming the water is pinkish due to blood? If so, I'd like to see more of an indication of it's source. Show me blood flowing from a wound in a fluidy cloud. It doesn't have to be too overt, but just something to show that there is something else in the water, a cloudy swirl...some indication that it's fluid, that it hasn't completely mixed.
I think this would be especially helpful in clarifying that gash below her neck (assuming that's what that is..) which is very ambiguous right now.

i .too, thought he pinkish tone might indicate blood flow.if it is, blood flow is nont contained to certain areas. it should be indication of it through out the bath water. other wise, i like the watercolor painterly feel you have going as well as the concept of the piece.

I thought she was supposed to have drowned herself - I didn't think the water was pink due to blood. It's bothering me (literal-minded as I am) that the water isn't at least blue-ish. I think too, you could "sell" the idea that she's under water by painting the way form is distorted by water as light is refracted through it. It'd be cool too if you maybe made her hair float in the water more obviously.
I think what this is lacking most now is drama. As dramatic a subject as it is, the values are overall in the middle gray range. It might help to make the thing lean further to the dark side of the spectrum - or light side, if you want to have it be sort of spiritual. (She IS holding an ankh, after all)

Its just death, in a bathtub... Neil Gaimans Death, from the old Sandman series.
I'm working on it. You say "draw her like she's underwater". Like it's that easy.
March 26th, 2005 #7
Don't think she's bleeding...technicalities aside.....
Just a suggestion on composition....could it be more interesting if the tub was more tilted on an angle rather than cutting the picture in 2? Maybe could experiment with it a little.....like said its just a suggestion
Also just some smaaaalll things I noticed (I'm nit picking coz its a brilliant piece ) The left wall has the wallpaper running in 2 pt perspective but the tiles on the lower part of the wall running in 3-pt perspective. And some "floating" issues with the objects on the floor.
That's why I said I'm nit-picking There are a lot of things going right for this piece. Let's see more.
There are 3 sides to every story. Yours, mine and THE TRUTH.
March 28th, 2005 #8
I like the feel of the overall scene. I agree with the aformentioned crits, and have only one personal nitpick.
I'm not too fond of the yellow-ochre tones you've used in various spots in the scene, to me the colour stands out and kills the colour balance in the piece.
Try warming it up a little bit, maybe work in some reflections (red wall reflecting red unto the tiles and tub, tiles reflecting back at tub and wall, etc).

Scientists studied a 26,000-year-old sediment core taken from the Gulf of California to find out how the ocean's ability to take up atmospheric CO2 has changed over time. They tracked the abundance of the key elements silicon and iron in the fossils of plankton, in the sediment core.
Plankton absorb CO2 from the atmosphere at the ocean surface, and can lock away vast quantities of carbon.
Researchers found those periods when silicon was least abundant in ocean waters corresponded with relatively warm climates, low levels of atmospheric iron, and reduced CO2 uptake by the oceans' plankton. Scientists had suspected iron might have a role in enabling plankton to absorb CO2.
It shows a lack of iron at the ocean surface can limit the effect of other key elements in helping plankton take up carbon.

Cleanse Your Temple: Sermon for Lent III, Year B 2015
Date: March 8, 2015
Place: St. Joseph of Arimathea Episcopal Church
Scripture: John 2:13-22
When I was in college I was president of a student organization that brought in various speakers to address topics of interest in the humanities. My senior year we had read an essay by the theologian that you may have heard me mention from time to time, Stanley Hauerwas. I still enjoy Hauerwas' work, and appreciate the fact that he is an honorary canon theologian at Christchurch Cathedral. At the time I didn't know that much about the theological landscape and so had no idea when I contacted him at his office at Duke University that his schedule was booked up for appearances and speaking engagements a year or two out.
But he agreed to come and speak at our university, a fact for which I'm grateful. His topic was Just War and Christian nonviolence the two dominant ethical traditions within the church related to how we respond to violence and evil. At the end of his lecture, I asked him the question that had occurred to me which related to this gospel passage. I asked him what a person who holds to Christian nonviolence has to say about Jesus's cleansing of the temple. Hauerwas, who is known for one-liners responded: "if you find a temple that needs to be cleansed, cleanse it!"
As I've been reflecting upon this Gospel passage during the week, those words have continued to present themselves in my mind. "If you find a temple that needs to be cleansed, cleanse it!" Jesus having performed a miracle at the wedding and Cana of Galilee, and having gone through Capernaum, goes up to Jerusalem. While there, being a pious Jew, he goes to the temple to worship. And upon entering he sees something going on that so angers him – a cold calculating sort of anger – that he goes and makes a whip of cords, a scourge, and returns to the Temple and drives out those people selling livestock for sacrifices, those selling doves, and the money changers. He uses the web to drive the cattle, he overturns the table of the money lenders, and pours their coins out on the ground in the temple courtyard. Then, turning to those standing there, he says don't make my father's house a marketplace.
This event in the earthly ministry of Jesus, has been one that has evoked a great deal of comment. It's one of the few places recorded in the Gospels were Jesus gets angry. There are a couple more he gets frustrated, or at least were his actions could be interpreted as frustration. But this event stands out starkly as the clearest example we have of Jesus's anger. And it is an ambiguous event in some ways because people have wondered what was Jesus so angry about?
As has been pointed out by commentators both ancient and modern, the money changers and those who are selling livestock and those for sacrifices were not doing anything that in themselves was evil or sinful. I mean, it's pretty natural. You have a need to offer a particular sort of sacrifice, and rather than hope that there is a lamb or calf without blemish or that fits the other requirements in your flock or heard that year, and rather than bring this animal with you all the way to Jerusalem, why not simply by an animal that fits the criteria at the point where you need it. These folks were providing a service. Likewise with the money changers, if you're going to the Temple and you are going to offer a monetary gift, the last thing you'd want is to offer a Roman coin with a big graven image of the Emperor with the words "The God, Caesar Augustus" or some such. It would have been blasphemous. So the money changers offered the opportunity to exchange this blasphemous currency for something known as the Tyrian shekel, a coin that's rather than an image of any person, had an image of wheat.
Some commentators have been wondering what it is that causes Jesus to become so angry at these people. Weren't they simply providing a necessary service? Well, I think the phrasing used by Jesus in the synoptic Gospels is instructive. In John's Gospel Jesus says "do not make my father's house a marketplace." In the synoptic Gospels he's even more clear and to the point: "do not make my father's house a den of thieves" (Cf. Luke 19:46, Matthew 21:13). Jesus' concern does not seem to be that these things are occurring in the Temple in and of themselves. Rather Jesus's concern seems to be what people's focus was. The temple was to be the place for people came to worship God. The sellers of sacrificial animals and the money changers, however in turning the Temple from a place of worship into a marketplace had transitioned from enabling worshipers, to actually impeding worship. In other words, their focus was not to ensure that people were able to worship God, but rather, they were concerned with their profit. And there is an intimation that perhaps they weren't only concerned with their welfare, but that they were perhaps taking advantage of others. Much as the tax collectors of the day made their living by collecting as much as they could over and above the amount they were required to send on to Rome. It seems that rather than making a fair wage, those engaged in selling in the Temple, were taking advantage of others.
This seems to be why Jesus says in the Synoptics, "stop making my father's house a den of thieves!" These folks were inserting themselves between worshipers and God. They were thinking of themselves and not others, and people believed that they had to go through them to get to God. And so, when we look at it from this perspective Jesus's actions make perfect sense and are in keeping with the frustration he expresses at the Pharisees among others who presume to put themselves between people and God. Jesus is concerned, is that people be able to have a relationship with God.
When Jesus is asked by those who witnessed his actions, "give us a signed as to why you do this" Jesus responds by telling them destroy this temple and in three days I will rebuild it. Well of course, his questioners think this answer is absurd. The temple has been under construction for 46 years they point out. But as the disciples understood when looking back from the post-resurrection context, Jesus was talking about himself and not the building of the temple. In this statement Jesus is making a claim about where the presence of God is to be found. The presence of God is no longer to be found in the temple, but rather in Jesus himself. This is the radical claim that separates Jesus from other critics of the Temple at the time. None of them would have claimed that God was uniquely present in them. But this is precisely what Jesus is saying.
We must be careful here, because of the fraught history of Gentile Christian interpretation of this passage, filled as it is with examples of the denigration of Judaism, discussion of how the sacrificial system was backward and has been supplanted etc. So to be clear, what is being discussed here is the movement of the holiness of God, the presence of God, the Shekinah, from the Temple to another place. This is not something that is foreign to Judaism. It is instead discussed as something that has happened multiple times. When the Israelites wandered in the wilderness the presence of God was with them in the pillar of cloud and later in the tabernacle (the tent) which served as a precursor of the great temple in Jerusalem. Within Judaism itself there has been an ongoing concept of the idea that God's glory, God's holiness, the Shekinah can move. After the destruction of the first Temple, this was the understanding that explained the distraction. Jews came to see the destruction of their temple as evidence of the fact that God's holiness had left the building so to speak. And it was the absence of God's holiness that explained the destruction. There were rabbinic stories–the inheritors of the Pharisees–which explained the destruction of the second Temple in similar ways. One of the most moving stories told to me by the Rabbi that taught the history of Judaism course I took in college, was of the chief priest during the destruction of the Temple by the Romans who climbed to the pinnacle with the keys to the holy of holies and threw them up into the air and as a hand–a divine hand–appeared and grabbed the keys, pulling them up into the sky. All this is to say the notion that God's holiness can move is not something unique to Christianity. Indeed to the degree that is present in Christianity it is part of the shared inheritance that Christians have with modern-day Jewish believers.
What is unique about the Christian claim is about where God's holiness now resides. For Christians the claim is that God is uniquely present in Jesus Christ. And through Jesus Christ, that God is uniquely present in each believer and present in the world through the body of Christ, the people of God. Us in Christ, Christ in us.
So Jesus, in cleansing the temple, is not doing so out of a sense that this is the only place that people could possibly worship God. Indeed in John's Gospel you'll recall, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman and has an exchange with her in which he says the time is coming and now is when true worshipers will not worship on this mountain (Gerizim) nor in Jerusalem but will worship in spirit and in truth; for such the father seeks to worship him (paraphrase of John 4:21-23). So the problem was not that folks were defiling the Temple in some way, except insofar as they were inserting themselves between God and the people who came to the temple to connect with God. And so Jesus cleanses the Temple. We likewise are called to cleanse temples. We are called to rid ourselves and our communities of anything that prevents us or others from having relationship with God.
If we find a temple that needs cleansing, we ought to cleanse it!
But since we are now worshiping God in spirit and in truth, and there is not a particular place where we say we are in closer proximity to God than others per se, then we are called to look not only to our communities but within ourselves to determine what sort of cleansing needs to take place.
As the early biblical commentator Origen put it, "When are there not some money changers sitting who need the strokes of the scourge Jesus made of small cords, and dealers in small coin who require to have their money poured out and their tables overturned? When are there not those who are inclined to merchandise, but need to be held to the plow and the oxen, that having put their hand to it and not turning round to the things behind them, they may be fit for the kingdom of God?" (Origen, "Commentary on John," Ante-Nicene Fathers, 393 to 394).
And looking to ourselves we can consider St. Augustine's sermon on this passage. Augustine has this wonderful imagery he uses, of Christ having made the whip of cords out of the very sins of the merchants and moneychangers. In other words he envisions them being run out of the temple metaphorically, by their own sins. Taking up that imagery, and combining it with some imagery from Psalms and some of the Gospels, Augustine warns us that we can sin, and then sin in order to cover our sin, with the result being that we take a single sin, one cord, and bind together with others until we have a rope. A rope with which to bind ourselves. Much better he says that we be scourged now with the small sins and be preserved from being bound by long ropes of sin and cast into the outer darkness (Augustine, "Homilies of the Gospel of John," Post-Nicene Fathers, 70-72 )
If you find a temple that needs cleansing, cleanse it!
Lent is the perfect time to discuss the cleansing of our temples. We're all temples of the Holy Spirit; what in our lives is getting in the way of our faithfulness? Of our relationship with the father? Picking up on Augustine's metaphor, could we not lay out for ourselves the cords of our sins, and making a weapon of them, cleanse our hearts, casting them out and reorienting ourselves toward God? If we want to talk about what this means, I think this could be seen as a metaphorical representation of the process of confession and absolution. When we confess – and even during this general confession that we have in our services, I hope that we're all thinking about particular sins which are separating us from God and one another – we are laying out before us the cords that could be turned into rope. But the very act of remembering, of calling the sins to mind, helps to deprive them of their power and in turn gives us the opportunity to once again be faithful. Lent is a time of introspection and reflection. Perhaps we should put this active, if violent, imagery to work and understand that when we confess, when we pray, when we ask for forgiveness – these are the tools with which we can run off the things that separate us from God.
And if we want to temper the aggressiveness or violence of this imagery a bit, we can do so by considering the fact that this action is not taken in order to make us worthy of God, or of forgiveness. It is rather taken, out of gratitude for the forgiveness already received, for the reconciliation already achieved.
In seminary I had a T-shirt that had a slogan on it that amused some of my class mates, and I know that one Episcopalian theologian, Paul Zahl, also had this T-shirt. It said "I bring nothing to the table." The reality of that slogan is that there is nothing that you or I can do to win God's favor, or to earn our salvation. But out of gratitude for what God has done in my life, I can reflect upon the ways and I have fallen short of the great gift I have been given, and I can seek to live a holier and more faithful life, a life where I am more closely identified with Jesus. And so as we come to this table–this altar–today let us recognize that we bring nothing with us with which to purchase the grace of God. Instead we come to this table and receive the grace of God, and having been bought by it, enabled to cleanse ourselves and be more like Christ, not out of necessity but out of gratitude. Amen.
My latest post at Covenant: The Devil (is no longer) in the Details
About a year ago I found a note someone had slid under my office door following a service: "Talk to us about the Devil," it read. "Is he real? How do we tell if he's messing with us?"
I freely admit that I've never been one to ascribe supernatural import to most events. I was raised in the sort of household where fatherly wisdom over concern about the possibility of ghosts consisted of the statement (filtered through combat experience in Vietnam): "I've been around the world, son, and I can tell you, there's no reason to worry about dead people. It's the living ones you have to worry about." Or, to put it another way, quoting a Cumberland Presbyterian classmate of mine from seminary, we don't want "to see a demon behind every tea cup."
Get Up.
An angel said: "Get up."
He got up, and took wife and baby to Egypt.
The angel said "wait."
He waited.
On foreign soil.
Soil his ancestors
trudged across
mud and desert to escape.
So that a prophet's words might be reheard.
"Out of Egypt I have called my son…"
An angel said: "Get up."
He got up, and took wife and child to Israel.
The angel said the ones with murder in their hearts:
"they're dead."
The little family
The Holy Family
And the boy lived
To die
On a Good Friday.
And on that day, we live.
"For he will be called a Nazorean."
An angel said "get up."
And Joseph did.
Easter followed him.
Then there was the man we picked up from the drain, half eaten by worms and, after we had brought him to the home, he only said, "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die as an angel, loved and cared for." Then, after we had removed all the worms from his body, all he said, with a big smile, was: "Sister, I am going home to God"—and he died. It was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that without blaming anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel—this is the greatness of people who are spiritually rich even when they are materially poor.
We are not social workers. We may be doing social work in the eyes of some people, but we must be contemplatives in the heart of the world. For we must bring that presence of God into your family, for the family that prays together, stays together. There is so much hatred, so much misery, and we with our prayer, with our sacrifice, are beginning at home. Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put into what we do. . . I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people first. And find out about your next-door neighbors. Do you know who they are?
—Bl. Mother Theresa
Thoughts on Ferguson
Now that things are (hopefully) calming down in Ferguson, with the help of appropriately attired Highway patrol officers, I think it's time to come up with a better term for the use of military grade equipment far beyond what is necessary by local police forces. "Militarization" implies that they have been given the sort of training one would need to use these tools responsibly. Given the *spirit* of the Posse Comitatus Act (which a number of friends assure me is dead, but anyway…) which technically applies only to federal troops, but really sought to avoid the deployment of military style forces against the American populace, it seems counter productive to have people in such gear attempting to police an area. This is a concern that cuts across political lines. But we need another name… Instead of "Militarization" how about "Evidence of government subsidies for weapons manufacturers via local police agencies" or something?

Sermon notes for Proper 14 A, 2014
Scripture: Romans 10:5-15
Last week we considered Romans 9:1-5, where Paul opens his consideration of the fact that the bulk of the Jewish people did not accept Jesus as Messiah. In part, I took the occasion to unpack some of the themes introduced in that section, that flow throughout chapters 9-11 of the letter to the Romans. If I were to summarize this whole section briefly, I would do so by quoting Robert Jenson's statement that "God is whoever raised Jesus from the dead having before raised Israel from Egypt," and I would add that, having raised Jesus from the dead, God will not now allow Israel to perish, for Jesus is the seal of the promises and covenant, and not their abrogation.1
The question then, is how the good news of Christ is to be proclaimed to those who have nor heard, or who have heard previously and rejected it. This is a concern that committed Christians must deal with in regard to all those who are not believers in Jesus Christ, but with whom we would like to share the gospel. Strangely enough, I believe that Paul encourages us to see humility as our watchword in these endeavors. More on what that looks like later.
To call Jesus the end of the Law, is not to say that Christ makes the Law null, but rather, it is to say that every word of the Law points toward Christ, the Messiah, God with God's people, as the Telos, the end or purpose of the Law.2
There is no sugar coating the disagreement between Christians and Jewish people on the person of Christ. This was the source of Paul's great anguish. But religious folks who are honestly seeking to follow God, and be faithful, owe one another honesty and fidelity to their own traditions. It is only from such a place of honesty and fidelity that true dialogue and unity of purpose can emerge. To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, the great Christian apologist of the 20th century, the difference between traditions is more like a pie than a continuum. Those who move deeply into their own traditions–that is, those who move more deeply to the center of the pie–will find, somewhat paradoxically, that they are closer to ardent believers from another tradition, than they are to the semi-committed members of their own, who are at the fringes. Lewis, of course, was thinking about this in terms of various Christian traditions, but there is, I believe, a sense in which is also true between the great monotheistic traditions. It doesn't completely map, but it conveys a truth: those who seek to be faithful and love the Lord God with all their heart, soul, and mind, and their neighbor as themselves, will find that they are inhabiting a place where a fruitful exchange of ideas is possible, and where Paul's vision of outdoing one another in righteousness, and holiness can really come into play. 3

- As Bryan notes in A Preface to Romans: "Greek telos (like Latin finis and English "end") commonly bears a range of meaning all the way from "fulfillment, completion, consumation" to simple "finish, termination" (as in telos echein, "to be finished") (LS τέλος, BAGD τέλος). The older Greek interpreters were generally clear that Paul intended the former of these senses at Romans 10.4–notably Origen (who in Rufinus's Latin paraphrase says of 10.4, Finis enim legis Christus: hoc est perfectio legis [Migne, Patrologiae 14.1160]); John Chrysostom, who compares the phrase 'Christ is the telos of the Law" with the notion that "health is the telos of medicine" (Homilies on Romans 17.2); and Theodoret of Cyrrhus, who notes that "the Law led us to our master, Christ [ton Despoten,] of the Law" (Migne, Patrologiae, 82.164).

There is a fear that the Incheon Asian Games would be a gold medal drought for India. As it is country's gold medal hopes rest on a very limited number of sports and three of these which fetch a sure-shot gold may not be included in the 2014 Games to be held in South Korea.
The sports in danger of losing out are cue sports, in which India won two gold medals at Doha in 2006 and one here, and chess, two gold medals at the previous Games.
There is a sword hanging over India's pet event, kabaddi as well. Since kabaddi was introduced in Asian Games in 1990, India has won the gold each time. These sports came under threat because the Olympic Council of Asia has decided to reduce the number of sports from 42 sports to 35 in the next Asiad, which means there is space for only seven non-Olympic sports.
Highly placed sources in the OCA told DNA that the Incheon Asian Games Organising Committee backed kabaddi but the insistence of OCA president Sheikh Ahmed Al Fayad Al Sabah to have cricket and karate, has forced them to drop two sports from their preferred list of seven sports — softball, baseball, wushu, squash, kabaddi, sepaktakraw and ten pin bowling. The fate of these sports will be decided in the OCA meeting next month. Compared to 28 sports at the Olympics, the Asian Games here has 42 sports.
Incheon was dead against including cricket. But thanks to the support of OCA president, the board endorsed the decision to have cricket and karate in their meeting on Monday. The Incheon organising committee's argument was that cricket is restricted to a few countries and they did not have infrastructure to host this sport.
India's lone gold medallist in the Games here, Pankaj Advani told DNA he was hopeful that cue sports will continue to be a part of the Games. "If it happens it would be disastrous as we are not in the Olympics and this is our Olympics," said Advani.
Advani was dejected that his sports was not a part of the Olympics. "England is the home of billiards and snooker and when the sport is not part of the Olympics being held in London, so what can we say."

Apollo Granforte
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (October 2009)
Apollo Granforte (20 July 1886, Legnago – 11 June 1975, Milan) was an Italian opera singer and one of the leading baritones active during the inter-war period of the 20th century.
Life and career[edit]
Granforte emigrated as a young man to Argentina, where he studied voice with Guido Capocci in Buenos Aires. He made his stage debut in Rosario, as Germont, in 1913.
After returning to Italy, he sang at the Rome Opera before making his debut at La Scala in Milan, as Amfortas, in 1921. In 1924, he went to Australia on a successful tour with Nellie Melba. During Granforte's subsequent tour of Australia in J. C. Williamson's 1932 Grand Opera season, Frank Thring senior's Melbourne-based Efftee Productions filmed him with the Williamson-Imperial Grand Opera Company in selections from Rossini's The Barber of Seville. This relatively brief footage was released on VHS in 1989 by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia.
Granforte possessed a big, rich, vibrant voice and he quickly established himself in the great baritone roles of Verdi and the verismo composers. He sang some Wagner, too, and also took part in the creation of Nerone by Mascagni in 1935.
After retiring from the stage, he taught at the Music Conservatory of Ankara, and later in Prague and Milan, where amongst his pupil was the bass Raffaele Arié. He can be heard on recordings of Il trovatore, Otello, Pagliacci and Tosca. Granforte also recorded 78-rpm discs of individual arias and duets in the 1920s and '30s, and the best of these have been reissued on a CD anthology from the Preiser label.
Granforte is considered to have been one of the great Italian baritones of the 1920s and '30s, taking his esteemed place alongside the likes of Mariano Stabile, Carlo Galeffi, Cesare Formichi, Carlo Tagliabue, Benvenuto Franci and Mario Basiola, among others.

UCSF CLE Support at the Library
We are well into the Spring 2015 semester and want to remind everyone of the following UCSF Collaborative Learning Environment (CLE) and multimedia support resources available through the UCSF Library and Learning Technologies Group.1. Attend a CLE Basics Training at a Tech Clinic
Held bi-monthly at the UCSF Library, attend a Tech Clinic to work with Learning Technologies staff on CLE and multimedia projects. The 90-minute CLE Basics in-peson training is held at the start of every Tech Clinic and is a great training opportunity for new faculty and staff.2. Search the CLE Knowledge Base
Need a quick answer to your CLE or multimedia question? It is most likely in the Learning Tech Knowledge Base.3. Follow the Convergence Blog
If you are reading this post, you probably already know about the Convergence blog. Subscribe to the blog today to receive important announcements, news, and CLE tips and tricks from the Learning Technologies Group!4. Moodle Training
Moodle, the learning platform that powers the UCSF CLE, provides useful documentation and guides for Moodle users as well training opportunities through MOOCs (massively open online courses). The four-week MOOC is also a great opportunity to connect with the larger Moodle community beyond UCSF.5. Contact Learning Technologies Group
Still have CLE questions?

Messaging with Quickmail
The CLE offers a number of methods for communication within a course, including forums, live chat, and an internal messaging system. If you want to contact course participants fast, however, each of these methods can fall short. Unless course editors and participants are logged in at the same time, or regularly viewing their courses, it is easy to miss updates because email notifications can be delayed anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes, or longer if a user has changed their notification preferences.
Enter: The Quickmail block! With Quickmail, you can push an email from within your CLE course to any number of course participants or groups, directly and immediately to their UCSF email inbox.
The Quickmail feature is installed and ready to use now. Here's how it works:
- A course editor adds the block to a course.
- Course editors use the block to compose and send a new message.
- Recipients of the message will receive a new email message (addressed from the sender, not from a do-not-reply address!) in their UCSF email inbox, within a few minutes.
Using the Quickmail block is very easy, and powerful, because it allows you send messages to groups you have already created in the course, or to all users with a particular role (like all instructors or all students).
By default, only course editors can add and use the Quickmail block. With a few adjustments to the block's settings, though, you can provide the same functionality to students.
Please note that an instructor can see a history of all messages that were sent with the Quickmail block. Also, all future communication (replies) happen outside of the CLE, and via standard email. So if you want the conversation to be visible to a wider audience, you will need to use a forum.
For a full description of the Quickmail block and step by step instructions, please refer to the Quickmail document in our Support Center.
Good luck, and don't forget to leave a comment below to let us know what you think of the new Quickmail block!
Moodle MOOC Videos
Do you know that Moodle, the system that powers the UCSF CLE is used by other universities and training providers around the world?
For the second consecutive year, Moodle has offered a MOOC (massively open online course) for the millions of global Moodle users. Although the 2015 MOOC has come to an end, Moodle has made all of the instructional videos available on YouTube.
Click to view the 38 Moodle videos available on YouTube:
While the version of Moodle used in the MOOC videos may look a little different than the UCSF CLE, the underlying tasks and workflows are going to be very similar. Watch videos on topics ranging from editing course sections to managing the Moodle gradebook.
Please note the videos use Moodle 2.8, while the UCSF CLE currently uses Moodle 2.6. Some features and functionality shown in the videos may not be available in the CLE.
Have questions about the Moodle MOOC videos? Contact the Learning Technologies Group.

The New Media Gallery
As you may have already heard, Media@UCSF is fully integrated with the CLE, and provides instructors and students with tools to create and share videos in a course. We have been using this feature in the CLE since the Fall, and it's been working great. And now we are excited to announce that one of its additional features, the Media Gallery, is fully deployed and ready for use!
What is the Media Gallery, who can add video to it, and how can it be used in a course? Here are a few highlights:
- The Media Gallery is a collection of videos specific to one, and only one course.
- It is accessible from the link in the Navigation block.
- Faculty and students can add videos to the Media Gallery!
- Student videos require (by default) moderation from a course editor.
- Comments can be enabled.
- This is a quick and easy way to post a video as a conversation starter before class.
- The Gallery is a great way for students to share video project with their classmates.
A few gotchas to note about the Media Gallery:
- We turned on the ability for students to submit videos to the Media Gallery on February 11th, 2015. If your course was created before then, and you have previously accessed the Media Gallery, you'll need to enable the "moderate content" setting manually.
- Media Gallery videos cannot be "imported" from course to course, so they do not "roll over" into the new semester's course. It is very easy, however, to add videos back into the Media Gallery, because they are stored in the owner's My Media repository, and it only takes a few clicks.
We have a full write up, including a downloadable PDF with step-by-step instructions, available in our Support Center: Media@UCSF documentation
Check it out, and let us know how you use the Media Gallery. If you have any questions, please contact us!
You Spoke, We Listened. CLE Updated
Today, we made some changes to the CLE interface based on feedback we received from users since the new interface was released last summer. This short post provides some details on these changes.Login-Logout/Help Links / Menu icon
The login-logout and help links that appear at the top right of CLE pages will now remain visible at all times. Previously, as the screen size decreased (e.g., on tablets and smartphones), these links would disappear and move into the menu icon (also known as the hamburger icon). One needs to tap on the menu icon to view these links. Some users found this confusing and didn't realize that they had to tap the menu icon to see the logout link. Now, these links remain on the page at all times. Also, since these links no longer move into the menu icon, we have moved the menu icon down to the menu bar. The menu icon will only appear when the page shrinks to the point where the menu can no longer fit on the page. As before, tapping the menu icon will open the menu.
Prior to the interface update, course content on an iPad in portrait orientation could sometimes be confined to a small part of the screen. Course blocks (e.g., navigation) would still be present and force the main content area into a small space.
Now, after the update, the main course content area will now fill the entire page on iPads in portrait orientation, and any course blocks will move down below the main content area. This will permit important content, such as the Ilios course calendar, to occupy the entire width of the screen, making it much more useable.
We hope you like these changes. We will continue to improve the CLE interface based on feedback we receive. Please continue to let us know if you any ideas on how the CLE can be improved, either by completing the short CLE Refresh Survey, or contacting the Learning Technologies Group.

James Traub: Afghanistan Is Looking Like Vietnam
James Traub is a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine and author of, most recently, The Freedom Agenda. "Terms of Engagement," his column for ForeignPolicy.com, runs weekly.
The almost decade-long American war in Afghanistan has now reached the beginning of the end. All hopes of anything like "victory" have long since vanished, but so have most fears that falling short of victory will jeopardize American national security. The essential remaining questions, then, are what they once were in Vietnam: How fast do we leave? And what do we leave behind? My impression, after a short trip to Afghanistan, is that the United States should leave faster than President Barack Obama appears to want to, but slowly enough to give the Afghans at least a chance to stave off total collapse.
You can certainly meet officials here who believe, as Simon Gass, NATO's new senior civilian representative, does, that "we can leave behind a stable platform" by the current 2014 target date for withdrawal. But a U.S. official with considerable experience in Afghanistan offered a much more tentative metaphor: "Can we thread the needle here by 2014?" he asked. "Yes, but it will take some luck." Pakistan would have to apply pressure to the sanctuaries where insurgents now shelter, the Afghan army would have to make major strides in professionalism, and "we're going to need more political will expressed by President [Hamid] Karzai."
"Any sign of that?" I asked...
"No," he said, citing the Afghan president's continuing protection of highly placed criminals and warlords and unwillingness to permit independent political institutions, including the parliament, to flourish.
So why bother at all? Why not crate everything up and leave as fast as possible? There are several answers to this question, some quite persuasive...

text: Earlier this week the Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program, more commonly known as just "The Torture Report" was declassified and made public and like many people I downloaded it. But given that it is a 525-page behemoth of documented state violence, most people are going to understandably look for summaries and analyses, letting other people do the hard work of pulling out important passages from the heaping pile of passive voice and bureaucratic jargon. While the report is deeply disturbing, the mainstream attention it has been getting is somewhat heartening. What might have dominated, but ultimately fallen out of, a couple of rapidly shifting news cycles has exploded over my Tumblr dashboard and Twitter feed in a constant stream of tiny, comprehensible bites of war crimes. Consuming national disgrace in small pieces isn't necessarily new, it is the primary way the public learns about abuses of power. (more…)

For many washes, a water reclamation system is vital to their success. Water and sewer bills continue to increase, and without the ability to reuse water, operating costs can go up dramatically. However, as great as a water reclaim system can be, they are not a good fit for every wash. Dean Taylor, vice president of CATEC Water Recovery and Ozone Systems explained what makes a reclaim system a worthy purchase:

Once you've taken these factors into consideration, you will have a much better idea if a water reclaim system is a good fit for you wash.

Putting themselves first
Jean Twenge has a knack for chronicling the obsession that many Americans have with, well, themselves.
In 2006, the psychology professor at San Diego State University wrote a highly informed book on what she called "Generation Me" – Americans in their teens, 20s and 30s who display very healthy levels of self-esteem even if they haven't accomplished much to earn it.
Now, with fellow psychologist W. Keith Campbell, Twenge has co-authored a new and timely book: "The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement."
Twenge thinks the entitlement mentality might have helped cause America's economic crisis.
"People were very overconfident about what size mortgage they could afford and the same thing with the bankers who were giving the loans," she told me. "Everybody was overconfident and didn't anticipate the downside and so when the downside came, it was worse than anyone imagined."
And Twenge has seen it on college campuses. She recalled the student who asked her to postpone a final exam because it interfered with his plans for a birthday outing to Las Vegas.
And in the work force. She heard from one person who runs a company in Minnesota who said it was not uncommon for employees to call into the office and say they were too tired to come to work and needed to go back to sleep.
In their book, Twenge and Campbell list the factors fueling the entitlement mentality: parenting, schools and a culture that build self-esteem by giving everyone a trophy; the Internet, where all can shape their images, post their opinions and be their own publicist; celebrity culture and media, which teach Americans that they're entitled to be famous; and ready credit, which, Twenge says, "allows people the fantasy of getting something and not paying for it right away."
What is the harm of all this?
"Narcissism is absolutely toxic to society," Twenge said. "When faced with common resources, narcissists take more for themselves and leave less for others. They tend to be greedy and take too many risks. They feel entitled, don't think about consequences and think that everything will turn out great."
And when things don't turn out great – as with a flailing economy?
Oftentimes, when confronted with adversity, failure or even mild setbacks, narcissists fall to pieces.
Lately, I've been collecting my own examples of entitlements – many of them offered by readers.
There was the teacher of eighth-grade honors English who said she was floored by the fact that about one-third of her class thought it was unfair that she gave them a pop quiz. According to the teacher, the students insisted that she tell them about the quiz ahead of time and divulge exactly what was going to be covered. A quiz maybe, but there's not much "pop" to that.
There was the chef who reported that young workers in his kitchen give him strange looks when he asks them "to do something like wash both the inside and outside of a pot or pan or to merely complete a job the best they can." They're more apt to say: "That's not my job!" The chef's response is to tell them that – speaking of jobs – it might be time to look for another one.

Discussions about the fate of emergency medical services in Rotterdam have been ongoing since at least 2003 when Supervisor Joseph Signore commissioned a consultant to study emergency medical services in the town. According to operations manager for Rotterdam EMS Jim Stairs, that consultant said hiring a private company, such as Mohawk Ambulance, to provide emergency services in the town should be considered.
In the last six months, consulting firm Holdsworth Pelton International completed a new study, which did not recommend privatizing emergency services and instead recommended merging the town-managed paramedics with the privately owned Rotterdam Ambulance service.
Bombardier said the Holdsworth study is flawed.
"If you look at the list of people interviewed, not one was from a commercial provider," Bombardier said.
Stairs said he is frustrated with Mohawk Ambulance for many reasons.
"My frustration is that Mohawk Ambulance can't seem to accept 'no' as an answer," he said.
Stairs said the community has already expressed its opposition to using a commercial company for ambulance services and so has the town.
Stairs also said Mohawk Ambulance can't point to anywhere in the Capital District where they do what they want to do in Rotterdam.
Stairs agrees with the Holdsworth study that the town-managed paramedics should merge with Rotterdam EMS.
Currently, when a person dials 9-1-1, a Rotterdam paramedic is dispatched from the police station and an ambulance is dispatched from Rotterdam EMS with two emergency medical technicians. By merging the two, it would cut down on vehicle trips and unnecessary people.
Rotterdam Supervisor Steven Tommasone said he also opposes using Mohawk Ambulance for emergency medical services within the town.
"The community has spoken resoundingly that they want to keep our own EMS intact," Tommasone said. "The structure behind that is something that we will be talking about."
Tommasone said he is waiting until the town's budget is completed before making a final decision.
"When it comes to EMS services in our town, we have phenomenal professionals and paramedics and volunteers. It's a service that we have to keep," he said.
Bombardier said he only hopes Tommasone will consider Mohawk Ambulance as an option.
"We would only hope the supervisor would see the sense both fiscally and from an emergency car perspective," he said. ""

For bream fishermen, the full moon coming up in mid-May is the highlight of the year.
"Usually beginning in April with water temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees, bream are going to begin bedding," Haffner said.
"Primarily redear (popularly known as shellcrackers) are going to bed first.
That's what Haffner found Thursday when
"Shellcrackers were on the bed as thick as thieves at Lake LU," Haffner said. "Typically they are in a little deeper water. These redears at Lake LU were in water no deeper than a foot and a half.
"Bream went through the motions of spawning in the middle of April. They are going to go crazy in the middle of May."
Bream fishing traditionally peaks during the full moon in May when bluegills spawn in earnest for the first time.
But Haffner said it's not the only time anglers can catch bream.
"If you're a bream angler worth your salt in West Alabama, you're fishing around full moons or new moons," Haffner said. "But there are bream hatching out all summer long. I think that we get really, really big spawns in May and June. But they're spawning all summer long."
Haffner tests West Alabama ponds to determine if they are out of balance. It requires him to seine ponds throughout the summer.
"By June, I ought to be able to catch a 5-gallon bucket of bluegill fry when I use my minnow seine in a pond,"
Bluegill that have hatched out are the primary food for bass fingerlings,
"Bluegill need about a week of 80-degree water temperatures for bluegill fry to hatch out," Haffner said. "Bluegill bed in April, but I don't think many bluegill fry hatch out. I think it's May before we get those warmer water temperatures."
Bluegill primarily feed on aquatic insects,
"They're like bass, they want to keep debris and foreign objects out of the bed," Haffner said. "They attack that lure or minnow or jig or red worm just to get it out of their bed."
Most West Alabama anglers use crickets or worms with a small split shot and a bobber on a pole or rod and reel for bream. Others work beds with a fly rod and popping bugs or wet flies. Haffner prefers a 1/16-ounce jig on an ultralight spinning reel.
Just about every private farm pond is stocked with bluegill and many also contain shellcracker. Bluegill spawn so much more frequently than shellcracker that they often out-compete the shellcrackers for food in small impoundments. Shellcrackers tend to survive better in ponds with weedy areas.
There are also good opportunities in public waters.
The state lakes, Lake LU, Bibb County Lake, Dallas County Lake and Fayette County Lake all have good bream fishing.
Ponds in the Black Belt area are the most productive,
"When anglers are fishing the same reservoir or ponds, they eventually find the bream beds," Haffner said. "Bream tend to use the same places year after year."
There is also good fishing on the river systems. Anglers should look for sandy or gravelly areas.
"From Tuscaloosa south to Demopolis on the river is terrific," Haffner said. "The bream are prettier, they're bigger and there are more of them south of Tuscaloosa. Any backwater on the Warrior or Tombigbee south of Tuscaloosa is usually good."
This year, high, muddy water on the Tombigbee is making it harder to find beds, Haffner said. The Warrior's water is clearer and the beds are easier to find.
Finding bream beds isn't just good for bream fisherman. It's a good place for bass anglers to look for their favorite quarry.
"Bass are going to be where their food source is," Haffner said. "Bass love to eat bream. I typically see people fishing for bass on the deep edge of bream beds. The bream are hemmed up and adult bass slash through the beds and pick off a bream."
Ironically, ponds with too many bass are often great places to find big bream.
"In ponds that are crowded with bass 9-13 inches long, the bass are so plentiful, they've eaten up the bite-sized bream," Haffner said. "The bream that didn't get eaten by bass grow to a large size, because they don't have to compete with their fellow bream. And they get too big for the small bass to eat."
But bream never reach a size that they aren't vulnerable. Bass 8 to 10 pounds can swallow a pretty big bream, Haffner said.
Bluegills and shellcrackers aren't the only species of sunfish in West Alabama. Warmouth (goggleyes), green sunfish, pumpkinseeds and others swim in the area's waters.
"There are many species of sunfish," Haffner said.

What's so good?
By Lori Kay | Jun 20, 2012 | Total plays: 12,555
"Mecca" is a brief departation from the hollower, echoing songs of his repertoire, as it dances with a chiming xylophone-mimicking chord that is muffled briefly by subversive bass. The captivating element that lies within these three and a half minutes is something that you wont hear of very often. As I noticed these chiming notes dance through through my headphones, I couldnt help but realize that they were so gentle, yet immobilizing. And after a few hours of research, friends, I am able to present you with the scientific explanation for your lightheaded and euphoric feeling!
We have two ears that are able to process sound at the same time, but what happens when one is receiving a sound off-pace with the other ear? This phenomenon is what auditory neurologists' have deemed binaural beats.
As exemplified in "Mecca," when heard through headphones, that light innocent beat traverses between our right and left ears and is actually affecting our frequency following response, that then neccesitates a manual synchronization of these differing beats by our crazed little brain. The binaural beat is the difference in hertz (a unit measuring frequency) of what is being heard in either ears.
When charted, binaural beats are shown to directly affect certain brain waves, in effect either making us more alert and cognitive or lulling us into a pre-sleep, drowsy relaxation. In the case of "Mecca," the differing bpms equate to the stimulation of the portion of our brains that help us let go, relax, and unwind.
Trust me, I'm almost a doctor.

Hôtel Mayet
3 rue Mayet, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 6th Arr. (St-Germain/Luxembourg)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
At this late date the mere fact of a contemporary-style hotel in Paris may not be enough to raise eyebrows. But add to that the fact that Hotel Mayet manages to come in at a starting rate of under €120 per night, and you've got yourself a story.
In this case we're not talking about the kind of haute-luxury minimalism that fills the pages of the interior design magazines. The Mayet is perhaps brighter, more cheerful, more colorful and eclectic than what we're used to seeing; there are options around Paris if you'd like to stay somewhere more sober and grown-up, and pay twice as much while you're at it.
From the lobby, bedecked with graffiti by a local Parisian artist, you know what you're in for. The rooms continue on in the same vein, not the biggest rooms in the city, but livened considerably by the simple shapes and vibrant colors. Services are on the light side, as you'd expect for the price, but the basics are accounted for. WiFi is free and most anything else you'd need is practically right at your doorstep — the Mayet's location, near the Boulevard Montparnasse, places the best of Paris at your feet.

What I liked:
Location was good - very close to duroc metro station.
Close to paris citibikes & a great bakery on the corner!
What the hotel could do better:
Do more to make the customer feel like you want them to stay in your hotel - this seemed like a very basic hotel with a 'holiday inn' type experience.
The location is great - make the most of the transport around you by telling people about the quickest way to the different areas
Also, restaurant recomendaitons would have been helpful but the front desk staff didn't really have any great ideas.

What I liked:
The night front desk guy was really great. Fun personality. Nice to come back to at night.
What the hotel could do better:
We were really disappointed with this place.
It was dirty (hair on bathroom floor).
Walls were paper thin (heard this annoying drunk couple laughing for hours at 3am each morning) - and there was no way to call the front desk to ask them to be quiet, so I either had to knock on the door myself or walk downstairs in my PJs.
The decor was the cheapest european version of trying to be hip possible.
Basically we felt like we were staying at a slightly jazzed up IBIS, not a tablet hotel.
We would have been okay if the price was EUR 100, we paid almost double that for some of the nights we were there and disliked the place so much that we considered moving.

Although the first impression - the night porter - was disappointing, the personnel during the following days and nights were friendly and helpful.
What the hotel could do better:
Soundproofing. There was a knock on the neighbouring door on two nights at 2:30-3:00 AM, which both times felt like it was our door, waking us both times. Breakfast is basic, with machine coffee featuring powdered milk.
