Pope blasts Spain's "aggressive" anti-church ways
SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain Pope Benedict XVI criticized an "aggressive" anti-church sentiment in Spain that he said was reminiscent of the country's bloody civil war era as he began a two-day visit Saturday to rekindle the faith.
Benedict made clear his distaste for Spain's liberal bent as he arrived in the pilgrimage city of Santiago di Compostela, where the remains of St. James the Apostle are said to be buried.
He was warmly received by a crowd of thousands chanting "Viva el papa!" but there were hints of opposition as well. About 100 people demonstrated against the pope's visit and a handful of gays kissed along his motorcade route - a preview of the gay "kiss-in" protest that awaits him Sunday in Barcelona.
Benedict told reporters en route to Santiago that the anticlericalism seen now in Spain is like that of the 1930s, when the church suffered a wave of violence and persecution as the country lurched from an unstable democracy to civil war.
The reference was striking, given the scale of violence back then, when poverty-stricken and disgruntled Spaniards burned churches and murdered priests and nuns whom they considered obstacles to much-needed change. The church claims 4,184 clergy were killed by the government, or Republican side, which accused the church of backing fascist Gen. Francisco Franco.
Nowadays, the church finds itself fighting laws supported by Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's Socialist government that have allowed gay marriage, fast-track divorce and easier abortions.
"In Spain, a strong, aggressive lay mentality, an anticlericalism and secularization has been born as we experienced in the 1930's," Benedict told reporters.
The reference surprised Spaniards, with Cadena SER network saying: "The Pope compares today's Spain with the Republic."
The pope said Spain was a particular focus of a new Vatican effort to fight secular trends worldwide since Spain had played such an important role in reviving Christianity in centuries past. He urged Europe as a whole to rediscover its Christian roots.
"Europe must open itself to God, must come to meet him without fear," Benedict said in Spanish during a Mass before thousands in Santiago's central Plaza del Obradoiro. "The Europe of science and technology, the Europe of civilization and culture, must be at the same time a Europe open to transcendence and fraternity with other continents."
An estimated 6,000 people attended the open-air Mass in the shadow of Santiago's ornate cathedral, where Benedict prayed before the apostle James' tomb, embraced his statue and watched, a bit awe-struck, as a massive incense burner swung pendulum-like across the entire transept.
Legend holds that the enormous incense burner was used to mask the pungent odor of pilgrims who had walked for weeks to reach Santiago. Nowadays, the burner is hoisted and swung from an intricate system of pulleys only during solemn occasions.
After the Mass, Benedict was heading to Barcelona, where he will dedicate the famous modernist Sagrada Familia church on Sunday. The church is a monument to the traditional family - another key theme Benedict is stressing in his Spanish visit.

For its birthday, Twitter today showed off a neat feature that lets users find their first ever Tweet. Mostly so others can revel in your embarrassment.
So it is with a couple of BioWare games, as the Dragon Age team's first tweet wasn't exactly one for the ages. Mass Effect's response, however, was better.
If you're a Twitter user, you can check your first tweet by heading here. I looked my first Tweet up, from all the way back in 2008, and it remains as relevant today as it was back then.
Playing the new Colonisation....it's a crushing disappointment.

2014 endicott women's lacrosse team guide final
Mission Statement The mission of Endicott College is to instill in students an understanding of and an appreciation for professional and liberal studies. Deeply woven within this philosophy is the concept of applied learning, which has been the hallmark of Endicott. Linking classroom and off-campus work experience through required internships remains the most distinguishing feature of the College. Endicott has a vision for the total development of the individual within a community that fosters an appreciation of diversity, international awareness, community service, and moral and ethical values. Endicott is an innovative and vibrant, student-centered institution that supports undergraduate and graduate students in their pursuit of knowledge. Common threads run through the fabric of the Endicott experience: increased self-confidence, stronger professional skills and technological competencies, and perhaps the most valued of all, lives open to change. endicott facts & figures • The Endicott undergraduate population is 2,355 (59% female, 41% male). • The undergraduate student-to-faculty ratio is 15/1 with an average class size of 17.8 students. • Undergraduate Endicott students have 28 bachelors degree programs to choose from with eight master and doctoral programs for post-graduates. • Undergraduate students can select from a variety of majors from the School of Arts of Science, Business, Communication, Education, Hospitality Management, Nursing, Sport Science and Fitness Studies, and Visual and Performing Arts. • Endicott's retention rate for first-time, full-time, firstto-second year undergraduates is 88%. • Seventy-seven percent of graduates are employed full-time, and 16% of graduates further their education. Forty-one percent of full-semester interns received job offers from their internship sites. • Endicott's Beverly campus is only 25 miles from Boston with easy access to public transit into the city. U.S. News and World Report ranks Endicott among "The top tier of Best Regional Universities (North)." Deciding to continue athletics at a Division III college was the ideal choice for me. It has allowed me to play two sports, women's lacrosse and cross country, I am passionate about with a high level of intensity and competition. Being a student-athlete at Endicott College has been a privilege that I am very thankful for. I have grown as an individual and as a teammate, learning the importance of time management, dedication, persistence, and teamwork. Being in the classroom and on the field at Endicott has prepared me for the future. – Holly Davis '13 Playing for Endicott at the Division III level has given me a competitive athletic experience while still being able to receive a quality education. I had been a student-athlete all through high school but coming into Endicott freshman year as a nursing major I was nervous that I would be too overwhelmed. The amount of support that I have received from my professors, coaches, and the athletic department are what have made my past three years as a student athlete beyond successful in every way. I couldn't be happier that I chose Endicott because along with achieving all of my academic goals thus far, I have been able to create some of the best memories I will have from my four years at Endicott on the field with my team. – Callie Murphy There were a lot of factors in my college decision but in the end they all added up to Endicott. I had the opportunity to see a lot of different institutions as my three older brothers went through their decisions. My brothers played Division I lacrosse at Notre Dame, West Point, and Bryant University; all of these schools taught me things that I wanted and didn't want in the institution that I chose. Following them through their lacrosse careers, and hearing about my parents' experiences playing at the Division III level, I knew I wanted Division III because it gave me the opportunity to participate in other activities around campus and possibly study abroad which my brothers didn't have the chance to do. When I visited Endicott I knew it was the place for me, I loved the campus, the people I met, the lacrosse team, and most importantly the variety of programs they offered for their students. I have been happy with my decision since the day I moved on to campus, and I look forward to everything I will experience in my next three years here. – Isabelle Sipperly holly davis '13 callie murphy Isabelle Sipperly 61 conference titles, 52 NCAA appearances, two NCAA Sweet 16 appearances, 51 ECAC appearances, nine ECAC Championships 33 Athletic All-Americans, 71 Players of the Year, 37 Rookies of the Year, 29 Coaches of the Year 39 Endicott Athletics Hall of Fame members (dating back to 1994) Overall department win percentage of .592 (3529-2424-59); Conference-only win percentage of .721 (1888-723-23) Numerous Academic All-Conference players and several team Five Academic All-Americans and 20 Academic All-Region honorees since 2010 15 Conference Senior Scholar-Athletes of the Year Endicott Academic Varsity Club recognized 59 student-athletes with GPAs of 3.50 or higher in 2012-13 Department-wide GPA mirrors or exceeds general Endicott student population Built in 2003, and resurfaced in 2014, Endicott Stadium is home to the football, men's and women's lacrosse and men's and women's soccer teams.

Lyons Conference - NEWMAC WC leads 4-0 The Endicott women's lacrosse team is coming off a thrilling 2013 season that saw their goals completed as the squad made program history as they advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in their eight trips to the dance after defeating Springfield 4-3 in the first round. The program has been nothing but consistent under the helm of Head Coach Meghan Fitzgerald who is entering her sixth season with the Gulls. For the 2014 team they are looking to continue their success by adding another CCC title to the books and making waves on the national level while elevating themselves to one of the elite teams in the region. Endicott posted a 13-8, (7-1 CCC) record last season while adding an eighth consecutive Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) championship to their banner. In order to reach their goals Coach Fitzgerald will take a different approach as she says "I try to focus on day to day expectations. I feel as though if our players come out every day working hard to get better and doing their best to make their teammates better than our goals become more attainable." Despite the loss of an impactful senior class in 2013 the Blue and Green will welcome back five seniors which will be led by co-captains Kelsey Barnes, Callie Murphy and Rachel Campos. Barnes will look to be the anchor of the backfield and defend her title of 2013 Defensive Player of the Year with the help of junior Kelsey Drought and sophomores Elizabeth Reda and Brenna Shannon all whom will be vying for time in the defensive zone. Helping out in the midfield on both sides of the ball will be Campos and juniors Ellie Clayman and Siri Mason who will both bring skill, speed and experience to the middle. Also looking to time in the midfield will be freshman Meghan Lennon who will play an important role in the offensive zone for her speed, while freshman Chelsea Burke will make an impact in the defensive midfield. Between the pipes Endicott will welcome back All-CCC First Team member Ryan Socolow who played in every minute for the Gulls last season while posting a .467 save percentage. Backing up the senior will be rookie Michelle Truncali who is expected to see time in the net. On The attack Endicott lost their two top scorers to graduation in Holly Davis and Kelly Tierney but they will look to Murphy (42), Mason (19) and sophomore Katie Tierney (16) to take control in the offensive ends as the will all return as the top scorers from 2013 for the returning squad. Murphy will enter the season as one of the most experienced and with her vision and on the field presence is it Coach Fitzgerald's hopes that the attack will follow in her stead. Also coming in on the attack is junior Kirsten Thor, whom Coach Fitzgerlad said "She has definitely stepped up in the fall season and has emerged as a leader on the field. She has a strong vision on the attack and knows what we are trying to do here." Along with Thor, Coach Fitzgerald is eager to see sophomore Isabelle Sipperly and newcomer Emily Whitney who are both expected to make a strong impact on the attack. This 2014 team has a lot to take on but they are up for the challenge expressed Coach Fitzgerald saying "We are very young but we have all the pieces in place we just have to work as a whole to put it all together." Endicott will play a tough out of conference schedule in order to prepare for conference play and compete for their ninth consecutive CCC title. They will start the season off with a set of five games against regional powerhouses Babson, #8 Bowdoin, Bates, Wheaton and Wellesley. After some CCC play they will wrap up out of conference play hitting the road to Southern Maine then hosting Tufts on April 9th. Playing a competitive out of conference schedule is important for this group of Gulls as Coach Fitzgerald explains, "We schedule to start strong for a reason, I want us to play the best in order to prepare us for our road ahead and help make us the best we can be. We want to be able to compete with some of the top teams in the region so we can be ready for the conference tournament and hopefully the NCAA Tournament." The Blue and Green will make their 2014 debut on March 5th at 4:00 p.m. at Endicott Stadium when they host Wellesley. 2013 STATISTICS ## 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 2 Date Name Kelsey Barnes Callie Murphy Brenna Shannon Elizabeth Reda Stacia Geno Holly Davis Courtney Jennings Melissa Bulman Kirsten Thor Lauren Todd Taylor Rogerson Siri Mason Isabelle Sipperly Katie Clements Kelsey Drought Kelly Tierney Caitlin Pratt Jill Deering Rachel Campos Katie Tierney Gabrielle Boyle Ryan Socolow Kelsey Barnes GP 21 21 7 16 21 21 9 21 21 20 8 20 21 9 6 21 17 15 21 18 21 21 18 Goals 0 42 0 0 2 69 1 0 5 27 10 19 8 0 0 48 31 0 7 16 1 0 0 Assists 0 25 0 0 2 20 2 1 2 17 1 9 9 1 0 52 4 0 3 4 1 0 0 Points 0 67 0 0 4 89 3 1 7 44 11 28 17 1 0 100 35 0 10 20 2 0 0 Shots 0 76 0 0 2 138 7 0 18 50 16 39 20 1 0 107 62 1 14 33 4 0 0 GB 41 30 0 6 28 30 1 17 4 47 8 17 11 3 2 24 11 7 33 11 29 35 23 DC 7 41 0 3 10 85 0 5 1 20 2 4 2 1 3 12 1 1 90 0 10 0 3 T/O 14 24 0 10 18 31 2 15 15 39 9 23 15 3 0 60 26 2 18 16 8 18 6 CT 28 7 1 7 21 9 0 6 2 31 3 5 1 2 1 16 10 4 18 6 12 6 15 # 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Full Name Kelsey Barnes Callie Murphy Brenna Shannon Elizabeth Reda Stacia Geno Holly Davis Courtney Jennings Melissa Bulman Kirsten Thor Lauren Todd Taylor Rogerson Siri Mason Isabelle Sipperly Katie Clements Kelsey Drought Kelly Tierney Caitlin Pratt Jill Deering Rachel Campos Katie Tierney Gabrielle Boyle Ryan Socolow Class Defense Midfield Defense Defense Defense Midfield Attack Defense Attack Midfield Midfield Midfield Attack/Midfield Defense Defense Attack Attack Defense Midfield Attack Midfield Goalkeeper Yr.

Fitzgerald played college lacrosse at William Smith and then spent four years as an assistant coach at Stonehill College, where the team won a national championship in 2005. Now she is entering her fifth season at the helm of the Gulls program, where she continues the same technique she brought with her to Beverly: take one thing at a time. "If we put in the hard work, we're going to get that return," says Fitzgerald. "We have to take it one day at a time, one practice, one drill and one game. We set goals at the start of the season and then set smaller goals to accomplish day-to-day. After the goals are set we try not to look ahead, knowing if we accomplish the smaller goals the big picture will take care of itself. Fitzgerald especially focuses on footwork, stick work and conditioning with her team, believing that those three things allow for versatility at all ends of the field. The team's attack sets are based off of motion, so that no one player stays in one position and her teams are hard to defend because of their strong foundation and their versatility among players. "It's my job as a coach to teach players where I need them to go and what I need them to do," says Fitzgerald. "Every player has an important role and I don't think we can be successful unless everyone is performing at the highest ability in their specific role." Fitzgerald believes that her relationship with her players has evolved to a teacher and mentor. She makes M Meghan Fitzgerald sure that her players see her as a real person, and that she helps them to be successful in their lives after lacrosse and Endicott. She encourages her players to have lots of experiences while college students, such as studying abroad, and while she expects lacrosse to be a priority, she doesn't want to prevent her players from having well-rounded college careers. Academics are number one priority for Fitzgerald-coached teams, a reason why she enjoys Division III, where you can play high level lacrosse and have a great academic experience. If players have a class conflicting with practice, they are expected to attend class first, and come out to practices as soon as possible. Her focus on academics as a priority and her open communication with players are strong reasons why Fitzgerald's teams are always strong in the classroom. It also comes down to recruiting, where Fitzgerald focuses on finding people that are willing to put in the effort, even if they are not superstars. By finding people who are hard workers and smart, both on and off the field, Fitzgerald's teams have been able to thrive. Team unity is an important concept in Fitzgerald's system and she trusts her upperclassmen to help the younger players engage in the team and the lacrosse family. Fitzgerald pairs her team up every year in a Big Gull, Little Gull program, where every player has a partner that they can check in with on game day and during the week, do drills together and keep an eye out for. "Each season is very different from the previous, but my standards for the players and program remain the same," says Fitzgerald. "I think the consistent message that the players receive allows them to thrive individually and collectively. The 2013 season has already proved to be different than the previous and I'm excited to see where we go." 2013 schedule Location..............................Beverly, Massachusetts Founded ................................................................ 1939 Enrollment ........................................................ 2,355 Nickname................................................................

Former Flyleaf singer Lacey Sturm will be publishing a memoir, "The Reason: How I Discovered a Life Worth Living," on October 7. Korn guitarist and fellow Christian rocker Brian "Head" Welch wrote the forward for the book, which the publisher describes as a "story of physical abuse, drug use, suicide attempts and more -- and her ultimate salvation. (Sturm) asks the hard questions so many young people are asking -- Why am I here? Why am I empty? Why should I go on Living? -- showing readers that beyond the temporary highs and soul-crushing lows there is a reason they exist and a purpose for their lives. She not only gives readers a peak down the rocky path that led her to become a vocalist in a popular hardcore band, but she shows them that the same God is guiding their steps today." In a statement, Sturm dedicates the book "to the one like my teenage self, who is a breath away from finding the beauty of a life worth living." Sturm left Flyleaf during October of 2012 to pursue a solo career; the group is preparing for the September 16 release of "Between the Stars," its first album with Sturm's replacement, Kristen May. Flyleaf has released the album's first single and video, "Set Me On Fire," and will start a headlining tour in October. Guitarist Sameer Bhattacharya tells us that, "This is one of the coolest records we've ever made...It was really a natural feeling writing with Kristen. From the get-go, I didn't feel like there was any kind of moment, or there wasn't a time in her joining the band where we were like, 'OK, we gotta massage this and feel it out...From the get-go we connected and we started writing songs, and it was pretty amazing just right off the bat."

What can we learn from black hat SEO forums?
I recently waded through 4,000+ threads on a black hat SEO forum - that's about a month's worth of postings. I wasn't sure going into this effort if my time would be rewarded with useful information, but there was no other way to find out aside from actually taking the plunge. While I'm probably going to regret admitting it, I did actually learn something new and useful.
What Are the Black Hatters Thinking About?
The big themes that emerged from my reading weren't too surprising. Among the most common were:
Common problems reported in the forum included being banned from AdSense, AdWords, and Facebook. Although failures are more likely to be reported than successes, the number of posts does suggest that Google and Facebook are actively banning users. On the "shaking my head in disbelief" front, there were stories from those that had put their savings into efforts that failed, such as the guy that mortgaged his motorcycle and then couldn't make the payments. There were also ridiculous posts like the guy that needed to remove thousands of automated backlinks because of being banned by Google or the guy asking for a $5,000 investment so he could try out an idea he had.
Curiously, there was very little being discussed around on-page SEO. In fact, a couple of threads clearly stated the opinion that in the black hat world (as defined by this forum's participants), it's all about links with on-site techniques having next to no value. I'm not sure if this means that these posters have given up on cloaking or just don't know how to use it effectively.
This leaves us with off-site SEO (i.e., link development). In this area, the most common tactics included link wheels, link pyramids, web 2.0 links, along with the ever-popular forum and blog comment spam. No one had any illusions about the risks of such techniques, but most felt that such risks could be mitigated by linking to middle tiers, which in turn would link to their money sites.
While I'm not surprised to have read it, there were many posts about buying tweets, "likes," Google +1's, and Yelp reviews. Sellers of these services always assured buyers that there were real people behind the accounts and none of it was automated. Right.
What Can We Learn From Black Hat SEO Forums?
As I mentioned at the beginning of this column, I did actually pick up some tips from reading the thousands of threads. Part of that learning was a reminder of all of the sneaky tricks that competitors (i.e., those ranking above the sites I work on) might be employing.
Most of the rest of what I learned fell into the tactical bucket rather than being big strategies that could be applied to legitimate brands. In my opinion, that's perfectly fine. I think a lot of people fail to execute their strategies because of a lack of a solid arsenal of tactics - it's one thing to say you need links and an entirely different thing to actually get them.
The approach I used during my evaluation of the value of each forum thread was to keep two things in mind:
On the tool front, I've added a few selections to my list of things to investigate. I'm going to avoid mentioning them by name here lest anyone accuse me of promoting web spam, but you could easily read far fewer posts than I did and get the same list due to the frequency of their mentions. Also, an aspiring SEO with a strong development background could make a fortune in tool development - just identify a tedious task that people think is useful and then sell them a tool that does it faster than any existing tool. The forum itself could act as a focus group, as there are plenty of complaints about current tools and people expressing their feature wish lists.
On the link building front, I was able to make note of a bunch of sites where a link opportunity exists. However, rather than spamming them, I plan to contribute useful information and earn my link. In addition, I won't bother with any sites that are obviously not moderated and therefore overrun with spam. In this way, I hope to eliminate any association with bad link neighborhoods.
I also witnessed a real example of how the effectiveness of some tactics is eliminated by abuse. For example, a post revealed how backlinks could be obtained from Tumblr blogs and then not too long afterwards the issue was written about on TechCrunch. I then manually verified that the hole had indeed been plugged.
And finally, I expanded my list of sites to perform competitive analysis on. My hope here is that by looking at what is actually driving site performance, I'll get better insight compared to relying on what the site owners are saying they're doing. My analysis will also include a time element in that I will compare a site's performance now to its performance many months from now as a gauge of long-term value of the tactics employed.
What I Know I Don't Know
In closing, I wanted to point out that everything I read was on a public forum and the effectiveness of publicly shared knowledge can be quickly eliminated by the masses. I'm certain that there are well-guarded techniques that weren't discussed, so if that's what you're looking for, you'll have to do something other than lurking in public forums.

Deauville's Second Session More Solid
(Edited Arqana press release)
The second day of Arqana's Deauville yearling sale in France Aug. 14 was more solid than the sluggish first session, with the average price increasing 1% from a year ago to €122,719 ($157,209 in U.S. funds) and a stable median price of €100,000 ($128,105).
The smaller number of yearlings offered during the second session (91 as opposed to 105 in 2009) contributed to a 15% decline in the gross to €7,854,000 ($10,061,400). But 12 horses fetched €200,000 ($256,210) or more, the same number as a year ago.
A filly from the first crop of Darley stallion Teofilo brought second day's top price of €400,000 ($512,420). Sir Robert Ogden purchased her from Haras des Monceaux. The yearling is out of Delicieuse Lady.
"We are very pleased to see that the market has picked up on the second day," said Arqana president Eric Hoyeau. "Friday's select session may have scared buyers a little and many of them chose to wait and see while today they felt bolder and more confident. The average and median have held up really well, which is very satisfactory, and there was a lot of competition for the nicest yearlings. Generally speaking there was a lot more atmosphere today, which confirms the trend we were talking about after yesterday's session: It is the very upper tier of the market that is suffering. We will give the format of the sale thorough thought after the four days are over."

Rachel Getting Married (R)2 stars out of 4 With an Oscar-level performance not dissimilar from that of Halle Berry in "Monster's Ball" or Charlize Theron in "Monster," Anne Hathaway (mostly) tosses her jaw-dropping good looks by the wayside and finally reveals she's more than just a pretty face. Far from her three teen "princess" fantasies, "Becoming Jane" or even the glam-heavy "The Devil Wears Prada," "Rachel Getting Married" will forever change Hathaway's career for the better. Too bad it's in such an annoying movie few people will see and even fewer will like. Shot completely on handheld video, the film is jagged and jittery with unflattering visuals and uncomfortable content that will make you squirm in your seat. Uncomfortable is fine if it serves a point, but at least a third of the scenes are extraneous and/or overlong and do not propel the story in the least. Mainstream audiences will hate it and a fair portion of die-hard art-house patrons will feel the same. Hathaway plays Kym, a multi-substance abuser who has been in rehab for nine months and gets a weekend pass to attend her sister Rachel's wedding. Older sister Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt) is everything Kym is not. Gracious, upbeat, patient and eternally forgiving, Rachel loves Kym so much she's - for the most part - willing to overlook Kym's non-stop destructive and embarrassing behavior for the duration of her wedding weekend. Written by first-timer Jenny Lumet (daughter of director Sidney) and directed by Jonathan Demme, the film tries to be an on-the-sly home movie, but comes off feeling more like a voyeuristic, fake reality TV show often suggesting "The Office." Demme and his cameras sneak around and intrude on moments we sometimes don't want or need to see. It returns Demme to his guerilla filmmaking roots but it falters slightly more often as it succeeds. At the center of it all is Kym - an angry, petulant, self-pitying train wreck full of excuses and a never-ending string of apologies followed by requests of second chances. Even while Kym implodes and wears on us, Hathaway lends her the "little-girl-lost" approach that keeps us in complete sympathy, if not total empathy for her character. It's a tough balancing act and Hathaway completely pulls it off. Considering Hathaway's mostly lightweight resume, it's an amazing performance. Lumet and Demme seem to be one beat behind or in front of each other for the entirety. She introduces a worthy situation and he inexplicably prolongs it. The sole point in the movie that totally clicks is a scene where Kym is alone with her estranged mother Abby (Debra Winger) which starts out docile and loving and ends in a way that will rattle everyone. If you like pain and uneasiness accompanied with long stretches of pointless filler, Demme's movie is right up your alley. If you're a fan of Hathaway and would like to retain an unblemished opinion of her as a girl-next-door type, stay far away. If you're somewhere in the middle, try to find a bargain matinee show or wait for the DVD release. (Sony Pictures Classics)

text: As I stated in my review, I used to be very interested in this family. Their occasional 'specials' had a lot more bang than this weekly series. Now I am just plain not interested. The family life style concept is just becoming a bit overdone. On the plus side, it' been a lot of fun to see individual personalities. Jinger learning to drive was delightful but coupled with the totally wierd way the eldest son and his fiancee kept clutching both hands was kind of creepy. And also trooping the entire family out for the ultrasound 'event'?? I know it's exciting but it would have been alot more effective had something like that been shared with just Jim Bob and Michelle. We know you love your big family guys....or else you wouldn't keep having more....but honestly, leave the bus at home once in a while. The reason the Roloffs and the Gosselins work is that we get a peek at 'coparenting'....not herd management.

Colleges offer more green-themed classes
Sudden popularity surprises educators
Environmentally themed classes have been around for decades and some campuses have long been known for environmental engineering, policy and science.
But over the past few years, universities have tried to outdo each other by making their grounds more eco-friendly with community gardens, recycling programs and the like. In some places, those activities have outpaced changes in the classroom.
"It's just easier to put a solar panel on your building than change your curriculum," Mooring said.
In May, a 625-member group of university presidents concerned about climate change released a report with strategies to help schools make sustainability a central part of their curriculum.
Academic leaders said most of the increase in eco-friendly programs has come in the past 18 months as talk about green employment gained national prominence. The latest federal action happened Friday, when President Barack Obama announced $2.3 billion to stimulate clean-tech manufacturing.
Some green jobs don't require a bachelor's degree, but careers in conservation biology, green building design and public policy typically demand at least that diploma.
"It's a business, and colleges and universities are looking at incoming students as a possible revenue stream," said David Soto, director of content development for The Princeton Review, an educational services company in New York City. "Giving customers what they want is kind of what they are doing."
Surveys done by his business in the past two years showed that colleges' green offerings rose in tandem with interest expressed by students and their parents. In 2008, 63 percent of those polled said eco-friendly features were an important factor in their choice of schools and 534 campuses listed their green initiatives for the survey. Last year, 66 percent of respondents emphasized green measures and 697 schools participated.
"Maybe the baby boomer generation had that more altruistic perspective of saving the earth," Soto said. "But the millennials are more attuned to the issues not only from a social standpoint but a very practical standpoint. They want to get a job and have a career that is rewarding."
Dominique Navarro, a UCSD senior majoring in environmental systems and policy, intends to pursue a career in that field.
"I really want to make a difference in the community," she said.
Navarro said her attitude is prevalent among fellow students in environmental courses, whose numbers have shot up. "In the classes that I am taking now, there are so many freshmen and sophomores," she said.
Five years ago, UCSD Chancellor Marye Anne Fox identified environmental sustainability as one of the school's top priorities, saying that her institution needed to more fully address one of the world's biggest challenges.
"It's going to be bigger and grander in years to come," said Fox, citing UCSD's push for public-private partnerships to speed development of real-world environmental solutions. "This is an area that will allow for great intellectual inquiry and at the same time contribute to the well-being of the world."
At least in the short term, the recession and budget cuts have hampered the green movement at various colleges. At UCSD, a popular class about "environmental racism" has been canceled because the professor left and hasn't been replaced because of a hiring freeze.
Financial woes also have led to class cuts, layoffs and other downsizing at SDSU, but student interest in its green offerings has swelled, said Sarah Elkind, an adviser for the school's environmental studies program. The number of majors in her program has jumped from roughly 10 to more than 40 in the past year, she said.
"These things come in waves, and we are riding the growing crest of one right now," Elkind said.
