'The Building Show'
Featuring more than two-dozen artists, this exhibition channels the public's love-hate affair with architectural design. Heidi Neilson's sundial drawings document the long shadow the Citibank tower casts over Long Island City, both literally and metaphorically, as more artists are forced out of yet another rapidly gentrifying area. Emily Katrencik's curtain of lollipops (made with flakes of "food-grade marble similar to the calcium used in vitamin supplements"who knew?) is an homage to 2 Columbus Circle, known derisively as the "Lollipop Building." Tim Spelios constructed his Leaning Tower of Bass Drums as a tribute to what he terms "the well-deserved screw you to gravity" manifested by the leaning tower of Pisa. Seth Weiner's life-size reconstruction of Ted Kaczynski's tiny, rough-hewn cabin sits atop powerful speakers, causing the Unabomber's abode to shake from a synthesized recording of the words of another famous American hermit, Henry David Thoreau. Exit Art, 475 Tenth Avenue, 212-966-7745. Through March 31.
Like an Ikea store gone goth, this dimly lit group of sculptures juxtaposes brass lamps and room-divider-style golden screens with massive curvilinear frames that mimic skeletal insect wings. The "Love me Knot" series suspends various animal skullscrocodile, wolf, Siberian tigerinside bags of braided wires, where they engage in jaw-clamping battle with human counterparts. This mix of polished home furnishings with bones and bugs lands the viewer inside a Brobdingnagian spider's parlor. Luhring Augustine, 531 West 24th, 212-206-9100. Through March 24.
'High Times, Hard Times'
Lynda Benglis's Blatt (1969) lies on the floor like a massive novelty vomit. A gelatinous, 10-foot-wide slab of poured latex, its edges are shriveled, its bright rivulets of color diminished by the grime of time. Yet the gesturetaking painting off the wall, and indeed removing any sort of canvas or traditional support at allcaptures the power of this show, which features 37 New York painters who worked during the hard-scrabble years of the late '60s to mid-'70s. (A 1974 photo in the catalog depicts West Broadway in all its glorious decrepitude, before the '80s gallery explosion and today's pricey boutiques.) These artists grappled with abstraction's past by going optical (as in Roy Colmer's 102, which vibrates with contrasting stripes) or by seeking out new materials that worked as both content and supporting ground (Harmony Hammond salvaged knit fabrics from local dumpsters to make braided floor pieces). In 1967, Carolee Schneemann literally threw herself into her work, slathering paste onto her naked body and then rolling amid strips of paper. The tatters hang off her like flayed skin, a reference to the Vietnam War, but she is also clearly reveling in pure physicality as she dives, kicks, and struts. This three-and-a-half-minute video captures both the anger and the exhilaration of that period of feminist ferment. National Academy Museum, 1083 Fifth Avenue, 212-369-4880. Through April 22.
Walid Raad
This Lebanese-born artist was 15 when Israel invaded Beirut, and he took black-and-white photos of the battles, soldiers, and weapons. These large digital prints from those 1982 negatives are so filled with scratches and color blotches that a fighter jet high in the sky is almost lost amid the visual noise, while an image of Israeli soldiers relaxing in the shadow of their tank takes on the feel of a battered family snapshot. On the opposite wall are prints featuring bullet-scarred buildings festooned with variously colored dots, which represent the international arms suppliers who produced each type of ammunition. Paula Cooper, 521 W 21st, 212-255-1105. Through March 24.
'Paul Jenkins in the Fifties'
If at first you feel overwhelmed by a surfeit of painterly techniqueenergetic pouring, dripping, and staining amid wet-into-wet coagulationstake the time to find the raw beauty in a work such as Black Dahlia (1956). At its center is a round maw of red and white surrounded by undulating curtains of blue and ochre; thin washes of drips spread and bend at angles like coral, dark swathes meld into yellow flares. This is natureomnipresent, yet elusivedistilled down to pigment on canvas with bravura grace. D. Wigmore, 22 E 76th, 212-794-2128. Through April 14.

Ultrasound School in NYC with Program Overviews
The New York City (NYC) area has several schools within ten miles of the downtown that offer ultrasound programs. Learn about the certificate and degree programs, admission info and program requirements for three of these schools to make an informed education decision.
New York City Ultrasound Schools
Students who are interested in ultrasound imaging can find programs at a professional medical institute, teaching hospital and medical center affiliated with the State University of New York (SUNY). Read about the program options below, and use the accompanying table to compare tuition and other important statistics. This resource also includes a summary of other school options, which can be found after the table.
- The Institute of Allied Medical Professions is located just three miles from downtown Manhattan. Students attending this small, private school can choose from among three certificate programs that include training in ultrasound.
- Another private school option is the New York Methodist Hospital Center for Allied Health Education in Brooklyn, located about ten miles from Manhattan's downtown. The center's School of Diagnostic Medical Sonography offers a 2-year training program, which allows students to transfer credits towards a bachelor's degree at an affiliated college.
- Also in Brooklyn is the SUNY Downstate Medical Center, located approximately seven miles from downtown Manhattan. This public school offers a 2-year, upper-division program in diagnostic medical imaging that results in a bachelor's degree.
Institute of Allied Medical Professions
The School of Diagnostic Medical Sonography at the Institute of Allied Medical Professions has state-of-the-art ultrasound laboratories. Students learn to use scanners for general ultrasound testing and specialized procedures, such as color flow imaging.

All programs include didactic instruction, hands-on laboratory training and a clinical externship or internship. Students have the option of enrolling in daytime or evening programs. The general sonography program includes cardiac and vascular sonography courses and can be completed in 15 months during the day or in 17 months during the evening.
The certificate in cardiac sonography, also known as cardiac ultrasound or echocardiography, provides students with instruction on how to capture 2-dimensional images of the heart. Students enrolled in this program can earn a certificate in 13 months. For the vascular sonography certificate program, students complete a 13-month training program that deals with using ultrasound scanners to view images of veins and arteries.
New York Methodist Hospital (NMH) Center for Allied Health Education
The School of Diagnostic Medical Sonography at NMH Center for Allied Health Education offers a 2-year ultrasound technology certificate program. The program equips students with the clinical and patient care skills necessary for entry-level positions in general sonography. This ultrasound program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
Certificate of Completion in Diagnostic Medical Sonography
Students enrolled in the sonography program at NMH take clinical and didactic courses and participate in rotations at doctor's offices, imaging centers and hospitals. Subjects covered in this program include abdominal sonography, echocardiography, medical ethics and law, quality management and vascular ultrasound. Upon completion of this program, eligible students can sit for certification exams with the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS). Students seeking to pursue further training can transfer up to 60 credits towards a bachelor's degree at an affiliated college.
SUNY Downstate Medical Center
Through the State University of New York's (SUNY) College of Health Related Professions, students can complete coursework in diagnostic medical imaging. This 2-year program is CAAHEP-accredited and is designed for students seeking to complete their junior and senior year courses towards earning a Bachelor of Science degree.

Everyone experiences loss at some point in their lives. Losing a loved one, a close friend or a beloved pet can plunge us in to despair. Over the past three years I have lost my brother, my mother and several friends. I relied heavily on close friends to help me process my grief, and, thankfully, they took the time out of their busy lives to support me.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross described the five stages of grief in her ground-breaking book, "On Death and Dying." According to Ross, there are five predictable grief stages that lead to eventual closure: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. That is of course if one does not get stuck at a particular stage of grief. Amongst Buddha's teachings was a treatise on grief that, roughly translated, states, "the avoidance of pain is the root of all neurosis." In other words, if we seek to avoid the pain associated with loss, we may never arrive at closure. A clever friend of mine once said, "You can't leave it if you don't grieve it."
Death confronts us with an absolute and incontrovertible reality; death takes the departed from us. Some grief is more ambiguous and only marginally less painful.
Grief can be generated by other kinds of losses that do not involve death. When romantic relationships disrupt, often one party or both parties are left with the grief of that disruption. For some, that loss may reach all the way back to grade school, high school or college. The loss of a close friend can leave us feeling ambiguous in our grief. A friend that moves away to further their education or to take a job far away can leave us feeling torn. While we are happy that they are arriving at a much desired goal, we are sad that they will not be in our lives that much anymore.

29 year old man | Valencia Park, CA, USA | Seeking women 23-35 in California, United States
I'm all about family and fun, I would love to meet my "soul mate" :) I'm not looking for perfection. Just get to know me before you judge me
My name is Noah which means "rest" in Hebrew, I am an easy going guy who likes most animals, music and food. I like to play video games, board games, fishing, sports, movies and I am always up for trying new things. I think fun is the most important thing aside from family and God. I am very family oriented. I enjoy making people laugh. I like to relax and have been known to spend some time at coffee houses, theme parks and concerts. I am not a hard person to please. I have been told I am a "nice guy" I have also been told I am "man pretty" lol. I do have serious moments though I try not to :) I am a realist who likes to goof off and tell corny jokes. I have a belief but I am not religious. All I am looking for is a woman who is independent, fun loving, and someone whom I have a lot in common with. Please don't jump to conclusions because you know about me, that doesn't mean you know me, so please get to know me and let me get to know you. I am fine with being friends, best friends eventually. Ultimately I am looking for a true companion, soul mate or whatever you want to call it :) so if you like what you see or you want to know more please contact me I enjoy meeting new people and I'm not scared or timid. In fact I speak my mind and hold little back, so you can count on me to tell the truth no matter what. If you don't believe me I welcome your questions, put me to the test. My ideal match would be a well rounded person who could give to me as much as I give to them in everything. I believe both people should give 100% and in a good relationship both people should be growing. You don't have to be perfect but don't freak out when things don't go your way. Let's stay in and watch a show or go rock climbing. I'm diverse with my definition of the word fun and I can have fun doing just about anything :) so just be happy and love the life you have been given :) I'll take a little more of this empty space to say I like to write poetry and give you a sample of my style of writing Eye of the Night Sky Both of us looking up at the universe as it passes by, your head tilted up mine tilted down to see the universe in your eye, as you gaze up longing at the night sky. Reveling in it's beauty, wishing to make the moment last more, but the only beauty in the moment is the one I stand before. The earths beauty is brilliant in my minds eye, the same beauty I'm trying to get a glimpse of as I look at you gazing into the night sky.

brick pavers
i installed a patio using 10"by 10" by3" thick bricks. i use a base of crushed limestone. the area is 1000 square feet. it is basically flat but i have somedges sticking up as much as a quarter inch. i was thinking of running a plate tamper over it. will it help.
yes. But why? The sub-base must be flat and compacted first
You say you have some edges sticking up 1/4 inch. Do you mean the edges of the brick? If you run a plate tamper over brick that is high, you run the risk of damaging the brick. The crushed stone is a great base, but you usually want to put down an inch or two of masons sand on top of the stone to bed the brick in, much easier to get a flat surface with sand than crushed stone.

In focus: The child photographers of Magoanine
MAGOANINE, Mozambique, 30 March 2011 – On a quiet Sunday afternoon in the neighborhood of Magoanine, on the outskirts of Maputo, the sun is still high in the sky as we walk along a deserted pathway that slowly winds its way through houses of brick and sheet metal, walls and vegetation.
'Click, click, click!' The shutter is open and the screen is clear, manual mode is on, white balance is checked, zebra is checked, timing is set… the flash ignites! We are suddenly surrounded by the child photographers of Magoanine. We find ourselves lying on the ground, with heavy feet and barely able to see or to understand what has just happened. All we hear are loud and joyful shouts from an excited crowd of children. Not one, not two, but twenty! There is red dust and sand flying in the air and a gentle mix of scents – of coconut, matapa, spices, and fried chicken – that sooths our spirit and enables us, just for one moment, to escape the brouhaha of life. One after another, the children tirelessly try to grasp and activate the camera lens with their small hands in order to extend their own perception, to find that new focus where everything seems to be in place, where everything seems to make sense… click, click, click.
With boundless curiosity towards photography and, by all means, towards life, little is more exciting for a child than taking photos. The Romanian dramatist Eugene Ionesco once said that "childhood is the world of miracle or of magic: it is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, all new and fresh and astonishing." Childhood is over when things are no longer astonishing.
A few years back, UNICEF Mozambique organized a project with Venice-Arts, a photo workshop, that put cameras in children's hands, and the results were astonishing (see: http://www.unicef.org/mozambique/media_2885.html for some photos made by the children). Media literacy, in general and through photography specifically, and media awareness are mechanisms to enhance children's creativity, capacity, participation and understanding of reality. As the photos from the children photographers show, the latent creativity in children is a powerful force waiting to be unleashed, and one of UNICEF's key objectives is to help unleash it, to the benefit of the individual and society.
This reflection was written by Sébastien Taylor, a post-graduate student at the Institut des Hautes Etudes des Communications Sociales (IHECS) in Belgium and an intern at UNICEF Mozambique.

Arizona State Sun Devils
The Pulse: Plenty of confidence ASU will beat Utah
Every day, we at ArizonaSports.com ask our readers a question. It's the Sanderson Ford Poll Question of the Day, and it can be found midway down on the right hand side of our home page.
On Thursday, Nov. 7, the question was "Will Arizona State beat Utah Saturday?"
There were four choices, and they were, "Yes, and they'll win big," "Yes, but barely," "No, they're going to lose badly" and "No, but it will be close."
A total of 487 votes were submitted, with "Yes, and they'll win big" earning 323 of them, which was good for 66 percent. Coming in second was, "Yes, but barely," which got 137 votes, or 28 percent.
In fact, only 27 votes were cast saying the Sun Devils will be upset by the Utes, with 20 of them going for a close loss and seven for a non-competitive one.
We'll all get our answer soon enough, as the 22nd-ranked Sun Devils will square off against the Utes at 2:00 p.m., with the game being heard on Arizona Sports 620.

The spill occurred around 4.50am, Fire Service northern

10 October 2013 10:55 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--European T2 fuel ethanol values firmed slightly, following weeks of price volatility, according to ICIS data on Thursday.
T2 prices were assessed up at €583-585/cbm ($788-791/cbm) FOB (free on board) Rotterdam, compared with €572-580/cbm FOB Rotterdam the week previously.
Sources attributed firmer values to healthy buying activity from a producer during open market trading.
"[Company name] is the only driver in the market," one source said.
"[Company name] is still buying volumes – this is the only support in the market," another source said.
The volatility of the market continues to be bemoaned by participants, who say that it is now possible to move prices up or down by €90/cbm a day following changes made to open market trading guidelines.
"Prices are very sensitive to market changes now. The market is living its own life," one source said.
"Nobody is taking positions as they don't know what will happen next. The market has decoupled from real economic ideas," another source said.
($1 = €0.74)

I can scarcely remember a time when revivals and revivalists did not fascinate me. As a small boy in Devine, Texas, in the late forties, I relished having the visiting evangelist over to our house for dinner during the annual "gospel meeting." When the Baptists held a revival down the street, I often dropped in for a sermon or two, and numerous times I stood at the edge of a Pentecostal tent, wondering what might be going on inside the minds and bodies of the folk being whipped into a holy-rolling frenzy by the sweating, shouting, shirt-sleeved man striding back and forth on the flimsy little stage.
I didn't hold any revivals myself until I was fourteen, but they were authentic for their time and place—held in the open air, illuminated by yellow bulbs, with the crowd seated on wooden-slatted church pews and singing from tattered softback songbooks. Not all of my outings were a success. One dismal, week-long revival seldom brought more than a dozen people out to sit in the oppressive August heat, and it was hard to be confident I had the full attention even of this faithful remnant, since the bare, unfrosted floodlight directly over my head not only drew hundreds of night bugs but, with the intense glow of its high wattage, fairly baked my crew-cut scalp and forced my auditors to look off to one side to avoid permanent damage to their stricken eyes.
Still, I was a pretty good speaker and my sermons were of sufficient quality to have merited previous publication—one of my favorites featured a stinging attack on the Bolsheviks—and when nice ladies said, "I'd sure love to hear you preach twenty years from now," I never doubted that they would have the chance. As it happens, I don't preach much anymore, but I am still intrigued by those who do and are really good at it. So I felt more than normal anticipation as I stood not long ago in the crowded lobby of the Jackson Hilton Hotel, waiting for a ride out to Mississippi Memorial Stadium to hear the world's most famous preacher, Billy Graham.
For despite the small-town ambience and the Deep South setting, this was not some jackleg country preacher we were going out to hear, and the service would not have much in common with an old-fashioned camp meeting. This was, measured by results achieved during his own lifetime, the most successful evangelist in the history of Christianity. And the same sermon we would hear in a few minutes would eventually be heard and seen on television broadcasts around the world. Given their attitude toward popes and such, evangelicals are not likely to elect a pope anytime soon, but if they did, the only possible choice would be Billy Graham, who has been for almost thirty years not just the unquestioned symbol but also the single most dominating influence and power within the evangelical movement.
I caught a ride with a carful of Baptist preachers, who worried about the dark rain clouds, counted buses bringing pilgrims in from all over the state, and wondered whether the Lord could draw a bigger crowd with Jerry Clower than he had two nights earlier with Johnny Cash and June Carter. At the stadium, the late evening sun and heavy overcast made the turf appear intensely green and heightened the sense that this was a numinous event. In the center of the field, backed up along one sideline, was the large blue-draped platform from which Billy Graham would speak. Light and sound towers stood in front on each side, and a small television studio had been built into the rear portion of the structure. Stretched across the top of the stadium a banner proclaimed, "He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—John 14:6." The audience, over 99 percent white, did not appear to be heavily weighted with pagans. Many carried Bibles; none looked out of place. The hairstyles and fashions of the women were those one stereotypically associates with Southern white ladies—neat, modest, feminine. Their husbands tended to favor double-knit sport outfits accented by white belts and shoes. Their children looked like pleasant little kids and were urged to act like it, too: "Michael, Becky, wave at Mr. Mac and Mrs. Jo." " T.C. be still! You don't realize you bother people, son!"
As is his custom, Dr. Graham spent the hour before the service in a small trailer tucked behind a temporary fence in one corner of the stadium visiting with friends, dignitaries, and others. Those others, on this occasion, included me. It was strange to be in such a small space with Billy Graham. He seemed somehow out of scale. The impeccably tailored suit, the instantly recognizable features now heightened by television makeup, the familiar North Carolina voice, and the sheer, undeniable presence of the man left me feeling it would be more comfortable to talk with him in a larger room—the Astrodome, for example.
Momentarily it was time for the service to begin, and I took my position on the platform directly behind famous soloist George Beverly Shea. Graham sat down too, television floodlights came on, and the atmosphere on the platform tightened as cameras began to record the service for worldwide syndication a few months later. The television crew would attempt to produce a usable tape approximately one hour long, although minor editing would be required to meet precise time requirements and to reduce weak spots in the presentation. It would be tougher than usual this evening, since rain had begun to fall at almost the exact moment the cameras started rolling. The Graham organization did not want to lose this program. A substantial portion of the $100,000 expense of producing four tapes goes toward renting and transporting equipment and film crew. The team will settle for three good tapes from four nights of meetings, but if the fourth tape is usable, it costs little more than materials and crew expenses for one day and is therefore a real bargain.

What's your story's agenda?
Ray Rhamey on Mar 17 2011 | Filed under: REAL WORLD
I've always had trouble getting my head around what a theme is in fiction, as in "What's your novel's theme?" I don't think of my stories in that way, certainly not at the inception stage. If pressed, I can find things that I think are themes once the novel is written, but I still have no idea if they are what is meant by a literary theme.
But I came across an idea that's a little easier for me to grasp.
"A good story always has an agenda."
So says Ellen Collett in her article, The Art of the Police Report, that I came across in the Utne Reader.
Ms. Collett's article is a fascinating read about the language used in police reports and how and why the writing of one particular officer stands out to her from all the others.
He meets the letter of the law for writing police reports—
—but then he sorta goes out of bounds in that how he words things gets at the truth of the incident in ways that other officers don't.In one of her examples, standard reporting goes this way:
We placed the Suspect in a felony prone position and took him into custody without incident."
But the other officer gave us a whole lot more in far fewer words:
"We cuffed the father."
In this case, delivering the reality of an incident is the agenda of the officer's report.
"Good" is an important qualifier
Certainly entertainment is a top item in any story's agenda, but that doesn't necessarily make it a "good" story. So what element can lift a story to "good?"
Survival information. Author Justine Musk recently wrote about this on her blog, Tribal Writer, and I've written about it here on Writer Unboxed. She writes:
Say I'm a caveman and you're a caveman, and you come back to the cave one day saying, Dude! I ran into this huge hulking beast with teeth that are like THIS BIG and it seriously tried to eat my head, and I had to run up into a tree and hide until it went away and I needed to piss like a racehorse. Maybe I've never seen such a creature before, or even known that it existed, but by absorbing your story I absorb your experience and thus enlarge the field of my own. The next time I leave the cave, I know to keep my eyes peeled for the huge hulking beast, and to hide in a tree if it attacks me.
What, one might wonder, survival information can a reader glean from "unreal" fiction such as the Twilight series? How to deal with vampires and werewolves? Not so much. But the author also offers insights on how young people can deal with issues of the heart, with relationships, and with struggling for survival.
I'll be a little lazy here and quote from my previous WU post on this topic because I think it's worth repeating.
Screenwriter Brian McDonald said that there has never been a culture that had no storytelling.
I've said now and then that stories help us understand how to be human beings, and that notion is in agreement with McDonald's theory, but he puts a finer, sharper point on it.
We need stories because, McDonald says, they have survival information. Even fairy tales deliver that—Hansel and Gretel is a story about the danger of strangers. Children who get that lesson are less likely to succumb to the temptations of a villain.
Stories, he said, are a way of getting the benefit of someone else's experience without having to go through it. This holds true even if the experiences you share are in actuality imagined ones created by an author. They're still a fresh look at life.
Romances portray experiences that have to do with relationships, as do literary novels. Thrillers deal with surviving extreme circumstances—the followers of the MacGyver series even learned tricks they could use.
McDonald said to think of it this way: conflict in a story is about surviving. If, in a scene, the conflict you introduce doesn't impact the survival of the character, even in a minor way, then maybe it doesn't have the stakes that make it a meaningful conflict in terms of the story.
Of a good story.
"A good story is a sneaky fucker."
That's another quote from Ellen Collett's article. "Sneaky" means not "on the nose." In the police reports she cites, the truth of an incident is injected by word choices, especially verbs, and by how the report states what happened. An example she gives is that a standard report might say
"The Victim sustained multiple injuries."
The cop she writes about says
"The baby was bleeding from three orifices."
That example reflects another facet of good fiction: specifics make it real, generalities offer little meaning.
The agenda/truth/themes and all that of a good story are woven into the narrative with invisible threads. If an author writes about underlying ideas or messages "on the nose," in a blatant, didactic fashion, then the narrative becomes preachy. I can tell you that was a wrestling match I faced in my novel, We the Enemy (Now out in paperback! Squee!). I think I won it, but it wasn't easy to pull those punches and let the story do the work instead of sermonizing.
For me, it's easier to discern what my novels' agendas are after I've written them. Then, it/them having become visible, it's possible to go back in and add reinforcement where necessary and to subtract that which doesn't lend aid and comfort to my story's underlying mission.
For example, the surface agenda of We the Enemy includes self defense and gun safety. But the primary agenda is to explore how we can get together as a healthy community of individuals and make our lives better. Seems like a survival issue to me.
For what it's worth.

9 Responses to "What's your story's agenda?"
My challenge is to get the story's agenda across without sermonising. But can good stories not be about more than "surviving"? Can they not be inspiring as well? Not in a religious sense; more in the sense of showing the reader the huge potential within the human spirit for transcending challenges. Yes, survival is part of that challenge, but can't a good story have an agenda to go beyond that?
I agree, though, it's far easier to find out a story's agenda once it's been completed.
Judy (South Africa)
LOVE the police report examples. They're so clear and succinct, and a bit different from what we're used to reading on writing blogs, you know? Fresh.
Also, "agenda" usually has a negative connotation, but I like how you're pointing out that all the best stories DO have agendas, and they're not bad things. Even Twilight, hehe.
Great post, Ray!
I'm with you, Ray (and Judy), in that seeing the themes and agenda of my work is easier in hindsight. And it's fun to go back to dissect and reinforce. When I started my first novel, I thought I knew what the themes would be. Turns out I was wrong, and the writing led to a great deal of self-discovery.
Great examples how language selection can influence intent, and congrats on your novel's release in paperback.
Nice post. Good to see someone acknowledge that writers DO have an agenda. Most of the time, it seems we try to imply we don't write with an agenda, which is silly. Any time we want to communicate, we have an agenda (both we and our characters).
I don't usually think about theme overtly at the outset (at least not in depth). Since the reason I write is to try to come to understand certain aspects of life, I trust that theme will reveal itself in due time.
I'm with the rest — I usually find out my theme after I finish my revisions. The funny thing being it's usually something I need to know, for my own life. Like my writing subconscious is trying to teach me something I don't seem to acknowledge any other way! I've "gotten" the themes of not pleasing others, there's more to life than work, etc. Now, when I write, I have a theme but know it's probably going to morph — and I get ready for the inevitable "message." :)
I was a little nervous at the start of this entry, because most stories I've read where the author started out trying to make a very specific point didn't work well, usually because the story and characters were developed to support that point without deviation and thus ended up flat and uninteresting. But you took it in a different direction and made some very good points of your own. I think you can start with a general theme or idea you want to convey, but the story is the most important part–and if you're really making that your primary focus, you might not discover your themes until you're halfway through or finished. What you (and Justine Musk–she's brilliant) said about incorporating others' experience through stories is fantastic. It applies to themes, too: as writers, we want our readers to absorb the experiences we present them with and thus come to accept and understand the themes we're trying to convey.

Love this post – it made me think about Theme differently. I'm the opposite of you, Ray. I start with a character, and the theme develops from that. Plot comes later.
It reminds me of the old story about three blind men touching different parts of an elephant, and arguing about what it is. We all start somewhere different, but hopefully end up the same place . . .at the end of a good story!

TurningPoint 5
All student polling in one program.
With TurningPoint 5, PowerPoint based polling and TurningPoint Anywhere polling systems have been combined into one product.
The new TurningPoint Dashboard module has streamlined much of the presentation creation, Session management, and Participant List management functionality, taking several options from the 'Settings' menu and moving them in to the UI of the Dashboard, TurningPoint Ribbon, and slide preference window.
To get started using TurningPoint 5, take a look at TurningPoint's online walkthroughs.
Things to like:
- Ability to edit, create, and manage presentation, Participant List, and Session data in the new Dashboard module
- Improved UI provides greater flexibility for creating and managing slides
- A new data storage structure that connects Sessions with Participant Lists automatically
- A better organized UI in the TurningPoint ribbon that provides more at provides more information to the user
- An updated Participant Monitor that provides overall averages and individual student scores during a Session. This can be displayed on a separate monitor only viewable to the instructor
- Potentially creates new ways for instructors to share presentations and information with each other
- Ability to view and print reports without having to generate an Excel file
- Combines TurningPoint, Anywhere Polling, and Self-paced Polling and allows them to share user Session and user data
- A simplified way of managing ResponseWare that allows smartphones to be used instead of (or in addition to) clickers
When can I start using TurningPoint 5?
You can start using TurningPoint 5 today. Officially the college will make the switch from TurningPoint 2008 to TurningPoint 5 at the beginning of the Fall semester. At that time TP 2008 will no longer be available on campus computers. It is highly advisable to get familiar with the new version and start converting your presentations before the Fall semester.
RF Clickers
A simple tool for student interaction
TurningPoint's RF clicker is the simplest way for your students to interact with your TurningPoint presentations. Designed for simple multiple choice answers, the clickers are simple to use and easy to use. If your course requires numerical input functionality.
To learn more about how to use the RF clicker, watch the following video tutorial. Skip to 1:44.
How do students purchase clickers?
TurningPoint clickers are available at the WCC Bookstore. Students can buy clickers new or used or rent them on a semester basis. They can be sold back to the bookstore for a 50% buy back. A single clicker can be used in any course that requires them. There is no additional fee for multiple course usage.
How to require clickers for a class
If you plan on using TurningPoint in your upcoming courses, you must indicate your intention to do so in Banner. Banner will treat this request like it would any other required piece of equipment and notify the bookstore.
Registering student clickers in BlackBoard?
To use the BlackBoard functionality of TurningPoint (generating participant list, automatic grading, etc.), students must pre-register their clicker's ID in your BlackBoard course.
NXT Clickers
More advanced then the standard RF clickers, NXT clickers allow for a greater level of input and interaction.
While the NXT Clicker can operate side-by-side with the RF clicker for multiple choice responses, it also has the ability for letter, number, character and punctuation input. The clicker makes short answer and numerical response possible and opens up new possibilities for math and science based courses.
To learn more about how to operate the NXT Clicker, take a look at the NXT video walkthrough found here.

Some Calif. donors give to 2, 3 GOP presidential candidates
Thompson said he saw Santorum at a local event last year and came away impressed.
"The liberal media can throw all kinds of mud, but when you meet the person, he's real solid," Thompson said. "His faith gives him a lot of strength."
But Thompson got to like Gingrich, too, for his debating skills and "the way he responds to the liberal media and carries the fight."
Thompson said Romney, however, reminds him of former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on a bad day.
"He panders too much," he said. "He says what people want to hear. He flip-flops on issues - I don't know if he's the real deal."
John Eastman, a law professor at Chapman University in city of Orange, shares the concerns about Romney. He gave $500 to Michele Bachmann in June, $250 to Gingrich in November and $500 to Santorum in January and February. Those were anti-Romney donations, said Eastman, a party activist who ran unsuccessfully for state attorney general in 2010.
"The most important issue heading into the November election is the expansive claims of federal power that underlie the health care bill," he said. "And I just don't think Governor Romney, having authored that sort of bill in Massachusetts, is the best man to articulate the issue."
Chapman said Santorum is his current favorite: "He's caught fire in a broader spectrum ideologically than Gingrich has - he's better able to put together a national coalition."
Eastman said he isn't worried that the protracted campaign will hurt the party's chances against Obama.
"You hone the message and strengthen the candidate going into the fall, as long as you're going to close ranks" once the nominee is chosen, he said.
In all, records show 35 Californians donated to both Romney and Gingrich. Of them, 15 first donated to Romney, then gave money to Gingrich, while five switched from Gingrich to Romney.
Half a dozen gave $2,500, the maximum allowed. One, Los Angeles apartment developer Geoffrey Palmer, gave $2,500 to Romney in May, $2,500 to Gingrich in June and $1,000 to Cain in November. But Palmer and his company also have donated $350,000 to Restore Our Future , the super PAC supporting Romney.
Records show three donors gave to both Romney and Santorum. Last year, Glenn Stearns, a Newport Coast mortgage banker, gave $2,500 to Romney, then $50,000 to the Romney super PAC. Then he gave $2,500 to Santorum.
There were 22 California Republicans who made small donations to both Gingrich and Santorum. Gingrich got slightly more money: $15,845 to Santorum's $12,985. Of the group, 11 first donated to Gingrich and then switched to Santorum, whereas only two switched from Santorum to Gingrich. One donor, a Tracy dentist, gave maximum $2,500 donations to both candidates.
Four Californians gave to both Gingrich and Paul, with no donation of more than $500. Records didn't show any donors who gave to both Paul and Romney or Paul and Santorum.
Three California Republicans contributed to Romney, Santorum and Gingrich. Among them was Father Francis K. Murray, a retired Catholic priest from San Mateo. From July to January, he made 13 donations to Romney. The biggest was $100. Then he gave $75 to Gingrich and $175 to Santorum.
"I gave money because they all asked," Murray said, referring to direct mail and calls from candidate phone banks. "And they all had good qualities."
Murray said he was born a Democrat but abandoned the party because of its support of abortion. He said he sees something good in each Republican candidate.
"They're all sincere, and they're all asking for my help, and one of them will win," he said. "And I'll be with the winner."

Madame Tussauds unveiled a new wax figure of Beyonce at Regent's Park on August 20, 2014 in London, England.
Beyonce performs in London and only a gaggle of geese show up to see her?
That's how it may look at first glance, but this is actually a wax figure of the superstar singer. The likeness was unveiled Wednesday in the slightly bizarre setting of the British capital's Regent's Park.
Any waterfowl wishing to pose for a selfie with Beyonce had better be quick, because the waxwork is moving indoors to go on display at Madame Tussauds' nearby museum soon.

Seth Forman's curator insight, May 26, 6:25 PM
Summary: This interesting article talks about how Utah eats twice the national average in candy. After investigation, Hershey's co. discovered that it is a religious taboo, because without alcohol or tobacco, many Mormons (the predominant religious group in Utah) eat candy instead.
Insight: This article is relevant to unit 3 because it shows how cultural taboos can effect industry.
Ethan Bernick's curator insight, May 26, 8:29 PM
Each region of the USA varies at different degrees. The distribution of Mormons in Utah greatly increases the amount of candy consumed in the area. This could be a perceived region.
Shane C Cook's curator insight, May 26, 9:15 PM
Me as a mormon completely understand the desire of candy. Yes alcohol, drugs, tobacco, ect is frowned upon but what intrigues me the most is how candy is so dominant in that region.

Could be happening as we speak. Perhaps (isn't all of what we're saying on here 'perhaps'? but anyway) Howson has added the notion of two moves to address the d and clear some budget room to the idea of accomplishing both in the same maneuver (Chimera for Ehrhoff, i.e.). And perhaps he'll find a taker. Or perhaps he won't, given the number of decent FA players available without a contract or offered camp tryouts.
This could explain why the 'team in question is in no hurry' according to the one report. Howson doesn't want to have made one move without having the other in his back pocket. In the real world, that can be a tricky thing to do.
Again, I agree with you, just pointing out some stuff that muddies the water.

Google pitches big plans to Mountain View City Council

The suggestion by the Mountain View City Council that Google create
a local rapid-transit shuttle service between its headquarters, NASA,
and Downtown Mountain View is excellent. A privately-financed system
would work wonders for the traffic that will ensue if Google's real
estate expansion plans go into effect.
I assume that such a system would be privately financed by Google (and NASA, should NASA agree) and would be available to all potential riders in
the area -- whether or not they are going to the workplace. Moreoever,
creating a Google-financed rapid transit system would requre approval
by the City Council -- but would NOT need lengthy approval processes
by the public and would NOT cost our citizenry tax dollars.

I am beginning to think that this is the way of the future - privately owned transportation systems owned by large employers who offer their employees free or low cost transportation but are willing to take the public also for a small fee. We know that it works for the Stanford Marguerite. Other companies are shuttling workers around the Peninsula and even across the Bay, meeting Caltrain and BART.
We have the Palo Alto shuttle too, how its funding continues is a bit of a mystery to me, but charging a fee and expanding the service would make a lot of sense, particularly on the school routes.
We have lost facebook who just may have done something similar here. Perhaps one of our other large employers will eventually do something in Palo Alto.
