Welcome to the Music Program!
Orpheus' lute was strung with poets' sinews,
Whose golden touch could soften steel and stones,
Make tigers tame and huge leviathans
Forsake unsounded deeps to dance on sands.

Curriculum Overview
First Grade
The first year of music focuses on the beautifully direct relationship the young child has with tones and singing. Music is a natural, profound experience for many first graders. They experience many of the songs through unconscious imitation and subtle awareness of the newly awakened world of music. Music is not so much "taught" as it is shared and enjoyed by all; participation is expected on some level but the priority is to give the children the experience of beautiful sound and color in a safe, warm, and welcoming environment. Topics throughout the year include breathing, inward and outward movement, the learning of songs through imitation, sound games, an introduction to instruments via the flute, the creation of music through group improvisation and conducting, and ear training.
Second Grade
Second grade music is characterized by a gradual awakening of the senses as the musical concepts of contrast and narrative are explored more fully. In parallel to the main lesson studies of the saints, fables, and nature, second grade music emphasizes ballads, longer narrative songs, music with multiple sections and forms, and an introduction to tonality. While pentatonic music is still the dominant mood of the year, major and minor will be gradually introduced through physical movements and visual associations that pave the way for the dominant-function harmony ("do-re-mi-fa-so…") that encompasses so much of Western tonality. The subtle association between sight, step, and singing paves the way for the act of reading music in Third Grade.
Third Grade
In music class, the round (think "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" with three people starting at different times, for example) is introduced as an exciting first step into the world of true harmony – two or more melodies (or "lines") sung simultaneously to form chords and phrases. As the year develops, the rounds become more and more complex, eventually softening the gap between a true round and actual two-part harmony. The concepts of beat, key signature, scales, intervals, and accidentals are introduced. The diatonic flute is an exciting new instrument for the class to learn; it is taught between the music teacher and the main lesson teacher. The scalar capabilities of the diatonic flute match well with the newly tonicized areas of the third grade music curriculum.
Third grade also features the first year of orchestra class. It begins with a class of individuals learning to play and sing as a single unit. For this reason, all students are required to play the violin in third grade. The year begins with pure, joyful experimentation of sounds and musical textures. Plucking, snapping, clapping and sound games all serve to spark creativity and interest in their new, deceptively complex instruments. The students to are encouraged to create "beautiful sounds only". This early foundation in artistic will and musical perfection will guide their musical taste in the years to come. After learning to play on "open" strings (strings played without any fingers being placed on the violin), the use of the fingers combined with the use of the bow opens possibilities for simple songs and melodies. After one year of violin, each student is allowed to either continue with violin or switch to viola or cello starting in Fourth Grade. This decision is jointly made by the student, the parents, and the instructor based upon the child's musical and physical needs and what they intuitively feel is best for them.
Fourth Grade
Fourth Grade music class contains a strong deepening of the more intellectual concepts learned in Third Grade. Sight-reading from the board is strongly emphasized, building on the skills of note identification, analysis of pitch relationships and intervals, key signature identification, beat vs. rhythm, and an introduction to proper singing technique. An exploration of rhythm is a critical aspect of Fourth Grade music as it directly relates to the study of fractions in main lesson. As the students learn to add and subtract fractions through writing and speaking with their class teacher, they will learn to hear these mathematical concepts aloud through composition and group rhythm exercises.
After one year of violin, the students select either violin, viola or cello to play as orchestra class transforms into a diverse string ensemble with multi-part music and increasingly long and complex pieces. An adjustment period is to be expected in the beginning as the budding violists and cellists adjust to their new instruments and the continuing violinists become more curious about what they are already familiar with. An emphasis on ensemble playing and responsibility to the group unifies the curriculum and the class as the autumn progresses. Learning to play one's own part in perfect rhythm with the conductor and the other sections of the orchestra is the seminal challenge of fourth grade orchestra class. By mid-year, students are expected to fall into a dedicated home practice routine, encouraged by guidance and distinctly positive reinforcement from parents and the instructor alike. By the end of the year, students will have adjusted to the musical demands of playing as "individuals in a group" and will have experienced several exciting public concerts as a formal String Ensemble.
Fifth and Sixth Grade
The study of Ancient Greece provides rich curriculum material for music class to build off of and enhance. The study of the Greek modes of music (a collection of ancient, sacred scales) introduces a new mood to the harmonic texture of the always-expanding repertoire. By this point the class will have a strong, large library of familiar songs that they will know and love – a collection that gives them great confidence to perform for an audience and act as one. The study of physics is a convenient parallel to the importance of acoustics in performance technique. Students will learn to project their voices differently based on various style components of the given repertoire including composer, time period, vowel shaping, dynamics, and texture. Harmony develops into 3-and-4-parts in chorus, testing the limits of their ever-strengthening sight-reading abilities. The introduction of the alto flute allows true harmony to enter the realm of flute playing, adding richness to a familiar instrument.
The String Ensemble enters new territory with the introduction of tempo and dynamics (speed and loud vs. soft) to the orchestral repertoire. Students will learn to adjust their technique and expectations to the requirements of each individual piece, paying careful attention to the emotional effect on their intended audience. Technical skills will be developed further; each student will know and understand the value and execution of proper bowhold, posture, left-hand position and dexterity, sound production, fingering, scale playing, and slow, in-tune practice at home. The concept of "beauty over speed, quality over quantity" will be a key aspect of practicing and playing at all times.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are a critical part of learning a string instrument. Violin, viola and cello have great potential to bring incredible beauty, skill, confidence, and self-discipline to the lives of your children, which is why orchestra class is such an integral part of the music curriculum. That said, they are hard-to-master, challenging, physically asymmetrical instruments that require special attention and one-on-one instruction. For this reason, private lessons are very strongly recommended for all students in orchestra class, regardless of instrument, prior experience, or musical ability. Urban Prairie offers private lessons for violin, viola and cello after school and on weekends for the convenience of parents. Private lessons at UPWS are designed to integrate aspects of the broader Urban Prairie curriculum with individualized music instruction and personal development.
Mr. Garcia teaches private lessons in violin and viola that combine aspects of Waldorf music education with his own conservatory-based approach, in addition to supporting and integrating aspects of the UPWS orchestra curriculum. Ms. Montanari is responsible for teaching private cello lessons and developing the lower strings program at Urban Prairie. She draws on her considerable experience as a performer in bringing a new voice to music education to our school.
Weekly violin and viola lessons are available after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, and all day on Saturdays. Cello lessons are currently available on Mondays after school but Fridays may be available if the Monday schedule fills up. All lessons are 30 minutes long and are $30 each. Lessons are billed exclusively through TADS for your convenience. To sign up for lessons, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
*Please note that there is extremely limited availability for after school violin and viola lessons at this time. There are still a number of slots available on Saturday afternoons, however.

Level of DifficultyEasy
Time to do repair30 - 60 mins
Age of Appliance5 - 10 years
Removed grill grates, gas distributors, etc. (just lift off). Used star screwdriver to remove screws (3 per burner for SML, 2 for power burner). Lift off stainless cover, which also lifts off the white sparkers I was replacing. Pull them off the wires (didn't need pliers, others said they did). Replace (make sure it is all the way on) and reverse your steps. White sparkers electrodes seemed loose when I put them back on, but tightened up when I fully secured the top back on. Make sure the wires aren't pinched underneath when you put the top back on. Recommended: If you've got one that isn't working, go ahead and replace all 3 (power burner is different) because the part is so cheap you may as well just do it now.

I opened the top by taking four screws from the back and lifted the top. The part to be replaced was clearly in view. I opened the clamps on the hoses, pulled the hoses off, removed the wires, and reversed the process with the new part. The washer works great now! I ordered the part on a Friday, and it was delivered the next day, even though I didn't pay for overnight!

Arthroscopic surgery was performed last Wednesday. Hellickson plans to report to spring training this month, however he's not expected to rejoin the rotation until at least mid-May.
Analysis: The 2011 AL Rookie of the Year experienced discomfort in his elbow after beginning his offseason throwing program in December. He tried to work through it, but when it persisted during bullpen sessions in mid-January, Hellickson contacted the team trainer. The 26-year-old went 12-10 with a career-high 5.17 ERA in 31 starts last season. In January, he agreed to a one-year deal worth $3,625,000, avoiding arbitration.

What's It Like To Be A Linux Journal Blogger?
Well, first of all, it's fun, or I wouldn't be doing it. I work with some intelligent, talented people, like Carlie Fairchild, publisher at LJ, and Katherine Druckman, our Webmistress. My job description as one of the LJ bloggers is to "write about whatever you want, as long as it is Linux related". That's pretty much the ideal job description for somebody like me who has been doing Linux full-time since shortly after Slackware first came out in 1993. I feel lucky to be writing for Linux Journal, which is currently celebrating its 16th year of publication, and is the original magazine of the global Linux community.
The Linux Journal audience runs the gamut from "Linux Wizard" to "Neophyte". Given the self-selection process of the LJ readership, most of the people who come here, either directly to www.linuxjournal.com , or via to the Linux Journal Facebook page are genuinely interested in Linux.
Sometimes you feel like a lightening rod. One does encounter the occasional flame comment on a posting. But, I'm used to that. I ran the LANL, The Real Story blog from December, 2004 through July, 2005, and I can tell you that nobody on Linux Journal can flame like some of those unhappy campers who used to post on the LTRS blog. One of my previous LJ posts was even dedicated to the art of flaming, and included a couple of hints on how to fan the flames if the fire seemed in danger of dying out.
Usually, though, the LJ readership is genuinely interested in the material being covered in the articles, and the comments are positive, or at least fully engaged regarding the topic:
Why did you suggest Amarok? Rhythmbox is far superior. Any idiot knows that!
It's a pleasure to see such enthusiasm. Seriously. Apathy is no fun at all.
Another thing I enjoy about writing here is that the LJ interactions provide constant exposure to what's going on in the Linux world. Linux is big. Rarely a day goes by that I don't learn something new. For example, today I heard about the Clementine project: Amarok 1.4.x forked and ported to Qt4. Amarok has been my favorite music player for a while, so I've made a note to myself to check out Clementine.
As Carlie told me when I hired on, "Do it as long as it's fun. If it stops being fun, stop doing it."
Which is exactly what I intend to do.
hmmm....i found this site
hmmm....i found this site accidently,is this journal about linux OS?
Thank you..
I liked your article!
...I'm not just a "troll", but also a subscriber!
Yay, I'm enjoying it too! BTW, I've covered Clementine for an upcoming post.
UK based freelance writer Michael Reed writes about technology, retro computing, geek culture and gender politics.
I've been using it for a couple of months now, I'm curious to see what you have to say about it, Michael.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Chief Warrant Officer Charlie Morgan, who fought for the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell and for the extension of equal rights to gay and lesbian servicemembers, died on February 10, 2012. The news of her death was announced by OutServe-SLDN in a press release.
In a statement, OutServe-SLDN Executive Director Allyson Robinson described Morgan, who served with the New Hampshire National Guard, as "a courageous fighter for our country, for her family, and for the equality of all who wear the uniform of our nation."
"On behalf of her wife Karen and daughter Casey Elena," Robinson continued, "we thank all those who have supported Charlie so fervently since she proudly came out on national television on the day 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' was repealed, and who have stayed by her side through her brave fight with cancer. She made an indelible mark on everyone she met with her integrity, her positive outlook, and her unflinching commitment to righting the wrongs visited upon gay and lesbian military families. The fight for full LGBT equality in this country is forever changed because Charlie Morgan took up the cause."
After coming out publicly on MSNBC on September 20, 2011, the day "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was officially repealed, Morgan became a passionate advocate against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which bars her wife, Karen, from receiving military, Social Security, and other benefits that she would be entitled to were they a heterosexual married couple.
The Morgans are plaintiffs in a lawsuit brought by SLDN in October 2011 challenging DOMA and other federal statutes that prevent the military from providing equal recognition and support to same-sex military spouses.
As Chris Geidner reports in BuzzFeed, "The Morgans attended the White House LGBT Pride Month Reception in June 2012, and they spoke in July 2012 about the importance of opposing DOMA and supporting marriage equality at the Democratic National Committee platform drafting committee hearings."
In January, Morgan was selected by Governor Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire to lead the Pledge of Allegiance at her inauguration.
In June 2012, Morgan told Geidner why she took on the DOMA fight even as she was also fighting cancer: "I'm trying to stand up for all we believe in in this country. We're soldiers to stand up for and protect our freedoms, so it's easy."
The Morgans made the marriage equality video below for Freedom to Marry in April 2012.

Deep Space Nine Revisited: A New Perspective

Re: Deep Space Nine Revisited: A New Perspective
My wife and I finished the entire series last month. It was her first time and my first time all the way through (I had seen a lot of the episodes up through S5, the first part of S6, and the last part of S7 but hadn't watched every single one, so some were brand new to me. I had seen most of the last part of the "Final Chapter" eps so I knew how the series ended but, whoa, seeing WYLB after seeing each and every episode that had preceded it dramatically increased the emotional impact of the final few moments (I was tearing up) plus I hadn't seen the Bashir/Garak scene on Cardassia, which had been cut out of the broadcast. Powerful stuff. I thought that overall it was one of the stronger Trek series. I think that I liked it more also because I was a big fan of Babylon 5 and liked the running storyline narrative of DS9 (though I think that large portions of S6 and some of S7 could have been cut out to improve the storyline arc but I digress).
Do or do not. There is no try.

Seeing and learning hands-on is something that an image will never capture. I have been part of many group projects, and I know that only when you see and experience the scale and true magnitude of earth processes can you conceive of what is in front of you." Courses: Astronomy Professor: Matt Beaky On a starry night: Beaky and class are stargazing behind Brumbaugh Academic Center, in and around Juniata's Paul Hickes Observatory Matt on Stars: "Too often we accept without question what we hear in the classroom or read in books, without realizing that we are capable of observing those things for ourselves and drawing our own conclusions. In my astronomy class, students are required to participate in naked eye observations of the stars and constellations and learn to use star maps; using binoculars to view celestial objects not visible to the naked eye; and using telescopes to observe star clusters, nebulae and galaxies." GEOLOGY Ryan Mathur Professor Courses: Many, but she's famous for Public Speaking, Interpersonal Communication, Intercultural Communication and Health Communication Professor: Grace Fala In the morning sun: Fala and class fill the amphitheater outside Founders Hall or make a circle in the grass on the campus quad Speaking of fresh air: "We go outside as often as we can. Why? Because we're all still kids at heart and we want to play in the sunshine, listen to the birds, dig our feet into the earth and breathe in that fresh air. Students gain a deeper sense of place when exploring the outside. In the fresh air, there's a sense of, `We belong together more because we share a new space called nature--and not Facebook--together.'" Paul Hickes Observatory ASTRONOMY COMMUNICATION 4 juniata / Winter '12 For more, see the individual department web pages: www.juniata.edu/departments Professor Grace Fala Secrets to Our Success Students Present with Profs at Conference By Genna Welsh Kasun '06 Professors travel to conferences all the time. Like sociologists Daniel Welliver and Cynthia Merriwether-DeVries. The two Juniata faculty recently presented research in February at The Eastern Sociological Society Conference in Philadelphia, Pa. But they aren't the type to steal all the glory. So they took two Juniata students, Shelleisha Salmon '11 and Brittany Gregory '11, along for the ride. Many Juniata students get the opportunity to present their undergraduate research through similar experiences. So, the Juniata Admission Magazine writers asked Professor Welliver why college students should go to conferences and present. Photo: Je ff Bruzee '14 Q: A: Why is it important to take students to a professional conference? Both Shelleisha and Brittany are graduate school-bound, where they are going to be expected to discuss their work and research. This conference and their poster presentations gave them the experience of meeting other professionals in their field, getting some positive feedback and critiques on their work. They were interacting with an audience that will help them to refine and affirm what they are doing. How did you and Prof. MerriwetherDeVries prepare them? We did a dry run in the hotel before the poster session, which I think helped them work out any nervousness. It must have worked because Shelleisha talked at length with a professor from Columbia University who was doing similar research. Brittany was so impressive in fielding questions that one professor from Lehigh University asked her to apply to their graduate program. Q: A: Q: A: What did they do there? Shelleisha was showing a poster for her research on "Aging, AIDS and African-American Women," and Brittany showed a poster on her research, which compares public transportation access in London, England and Baltimore, Md. Any other surprising learning experiences? We had some pretty good discussions on the way to and from the conference. Even walking to dinner on South Street, we saw a huge mural showing (renowned African-American sociologist) W.E.B. Du Bois. With sociologists everything is open to scrutiny. In fact, for a social scientist just walking around Philly is like being in a candy store. I guess the students in natural sciences can leave their research behind when they go out to dinner. Coming back, we now have a shared language that can build another level of discourse in the classroom. Q: A: juniata / Winter '12 5 SPORTS Management Basing your career on one class is the academic equivalent of a Hail Mary pass. But that hasn't stopped recent alumni from landing jobs in the industry. By Genna Welsh Kasun '06 Getting a Job in "There's a grassroots interest in sport management," says Randy Rosenberger, a professor in accounting, business and economics at Juniata, who teaches the course. For the last five years, his class has been filled. Since then, Juniata grads from varying POEs have gone on to management, marketing and coaching careers with the Philadelphia Eagles, colleges and universities including Kenyon and Transylvania, and athletic conferences. "The course provides an examination of industry concerns that aren't so different from other courses I teach, like Human Resource Management," Rosenberger says. "For example, not so long ago the National Hockey League lost an entire season to a labor force management issue." There's a paper and a textbook for the course, but, for most of the class time, students give presentations on controversial sports topics like performance enhancement drugs, scholarships for Division III collegiate athletes, and more. In fact, class discussions often go on for several class periods before losing interest. There's also a competition, modeled after ESPN's Around the Horn, that forces students to debate questions that blend fun and business, like "Will Tiger Woods win another major?" For some students, Rosenberger's course has been a game changer. Kelly Rotan '10 turned an internship with Pink Zone, a Lady Lions breast cancer benefit game at Penn State Athletics, into a career with the university. "Being on the sidelines at games and creating halftime events is awesome," Rotan says. "Professor Rosenberger teaches in a way that enables students to get a better understanding of what the real world is really like--and not just in sports." Recently, Rotan became assistant women's basketball coach at Yale University. Rosenberger modestly insists that Juniata's focus on discussion-based courses is the secret to alumni success, adding, "We've moved entirely away from lecture." www.juniatasports.net Much of the Juniata curriculum hinges on students' independence. They design their own POEs, pursue topics of their own interest in undergraduate research and undertake independent study courses. But, as with Sport Management, a strong professor is always at center court--be it while a student interns at Juniata Athletics or as they take other courses, like Sports Literature.

Ah, but I'm a bit crazier than that. Luckily, I have a friend who not only applied for the Fulbright, but got it. Dustin Gee '10, from Lawrenceville, Pa., won a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) to Montenegro. After I got over my jealousy, I decided to pick his brain via Skype for advice. Here's what he said: E: So what was your first academic decision that helped prepare you for the Fulbright? D: As early as my first year, I started going to study abroad fairs. Also, I recognized the importance of gaining international work experience if I wanted to pursue a career in higher education. I applied for Educational Programmes Abroad program in Edinburgh, Scotland. There, I would have an internship experience working at Edinburgh's Napier University in addition to taking two classes. Juniata's study abroad office got me hyped to start the application process, and it was all history from there! E: What was your first step toward winning the Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Montenegro? D: I knew about Fulbrights because I'd been contacted by Dave Reingold, the chemistry professor in charge of preparing Fulbright applications. I immediately went to my advisers and discussed whether or not this was a good idea. When everyone said, "Go for it!" we narrowed down the application process and were very strategic about every little detail so as to maximize my chances of receiving the scholarship. I even organized a review committee of people who'd studied in Montenegro and Juniata professors from different departments to gather a lot of feedback. Thankfully, they were more than willing to help out. E: What makes you so passionate about helping out other Juniata students on their path to success? D: Juniata provided me the confidence I needed to compete with students from Ivy League universities. I view it as my responsibility to help students go above and beyond. Even in Tirana, Albania, people know Juniata! I was at a conference there, and mentioned Juniata. A woman stood and said that she'd read about Juniata in the Chronicle of Higher Education, as one of the best colleges to work for in the United States. She said, "Please tell me how I can get a job there." E: What are your tips for writing a good Fulbright essay? D: Be creative; be you. A successful Fulbright essay will only be achieved through the process of revision, editing, and constructive feedback. Use concrete sentences, astute organization and vivid word choice. E: So, where do you go from here? D: I am currently enrolled as a graduate student at New York University. Juniata's Volunteers HALF OVER participated in community service of Westerly, R.I., helped develop a nonprofit organization that mobilizes Mini Cooper car owners in the northeast to collect and transport toys for terminally ill children in an annual toy run. "MINI'sMaking-A-Difference" was founded in 2003. Since then, more than 8,000 toys and $98,000 have been distributed. Jessica Scales '15, of ourtesy Photos c les '15 ca Jessica S Rebecca Brumbaugh '15, of Hilton, N.Y., sewed historical costumes from pioneer times as part of her work and volunteerism at Genesee Country Village and Museum as a youth historical interpreter. Sophie Chambers '15, of San Diego, Calif., worked for a year as an intern/volunteer at Lpath Therapeutics, Inc. "At one point, I had to learn to successfully anesthetize mice without killing them or having them wake up in the middle of a procedure," Sophie recalls. Before working in the lab, Sophie hadn't found science to be particularly interesting. Now, Sophie is including science classes in her POE. Her ultimate goal is to go into psychiatry or psychological research. 8 juniata / Winter '12 Class of We're not sure yet what your class (be it 2016 or beyond) will look like. But, if you want to know who goes to Juniata, look no further than this year's freshmen. We present: the Class of 2015, composed of 387 students. By Genna Welsh Kasun '06 2015 Workers 35.9% worked while in high school Future Legislators ONE in SEVEN served in student government Singers ONE in EIGHT sang in a choral group or choir Travelers reported they are SURE they want to study abroad of James Creek, Pa., has called many places home, including Italy, where he attended elementary school. That's just one reason why Trevor is one of many Juniata freshmen who plan to study abroad in college. "For me, being able to excel in my two years of school in Italy was something to be proud of," Trevor says. "Working hard to achieve something in a country with a completely different system is incredibly fulfilling." ephens '15 of Trevor St 53.5% Jocks were athletes in high school 66% Trevor Stevens '15, Aaron Egerter '15, of Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., is a seafarer. The Dauntless, a fishing boat typically full of tourists, has been in his family for decades and he's worked as guide, pilot, deck hand and resident expert in the family's tackle shop throughout the years. On days when the weather is too stormy or the ocean too choppy, he does dock work like changing anchors or doing repairs in the engine room. Aaron plans to get his Captain's license one day. Thalia "T.J." Chance-Chin '15, of Tampa, Fla., was determined to play field hockey during high school--even though there are no high school field hockey teams in the Sunshine State. So, she played on a coed club team with adults. "It's weird to be playing with people who are my age and all girls, but my teammates are amazing, and they're also now my new family," T.J. says. tesy Photo cour 6 Alexanders Top Names 6 Emilys juniata / Winter '12 9 f God The Histor y o s is l for this clas "The materia though I was felt as fascinating.

Little-Known Traditions Memories are Made From Ritesof Passage: By: Ellen Santa Maria '12 There's something about traditions that can turn a group of strangers into close friends in just minutes. Think Times Square on New Year's Eve as the ball drops, or meal time with family and friends to celebrate a holiday. Now think Juniata. Maybe you've heard about such campus-wide traditions as Mountain Day, Pigroast and Storming of the Arch. Now think even smaller: Juniata has a ton of little-known traditions that, according to our students, almost everyone has experienced--often recalled as their fondest memories of their alma mater. juniata / Winter '12 12 Photo: Jeff Bruzee '14 The Cliffs Within a day of being here on campus, I'd heard about "the cliffs." At first, it seemed to be a really ominous place--somewhere I'd not venture on my own. Good thing a big part of visiting the cliffs is romance. I won't speak on my own experiences in this respect, but senior Mike Kraft of York, Pa., will. "I took a date to the cliffs and saw beautiful skies and three shooting stars. It was a bit frightening walking there in the dark," he said. The gorgeous view of the mountains, river and train tracks make for a perfect setting to sit with your sweetheart and talk about, well, anything really. It's so pretty up there that even in silence, the landscape speaks volumes. Lunch at Standing Stone A group of friends sat together on the quad discussing food before lunch. I took the opportunity to ask them about one of the tastiest little-known traditions: heading off campus to Standing Stone Coffee Company. Located just a few blocks from campus, Standing Stone is a student favorite for its paninis, coffee and breakfast foods. Shacka-what? Shackathon. Step one, you build a makeshift shelter out of cardboard boxes. Step two, you get in the box. Step three, you stay there all night in front of Juniata's Ellis Hall to raise awareness about homelessness. Sounds simple, right? That's because it is. Rebecca Strohm, a junior from Rochester, N.Y., explains, "Every year, always on a cold night in fall semester, Habitat for Humanity builds small structures out of cardboard boxes and duct tape to sleep in for the night." Caitlin Davies, a senior from St. Paul, Minn., told me why it's so significant to her. "It's special because it reminds students how fortunate we all are to be here. As we are going to class all bundled up, there are others who have to sleep outside in the cold," she said. Altruism and hanging out with friends? Sounds like good fun to me. Standing Stone is a caf� and roastery that was founded by Juniata alum Greg Anderson '00. When parents and family come to visit, most students ask to go to Standing Stone as a treat. Molly Snyder, a senior from State College, Pa., said, "Mozzarella and tomato sandwiches just keep bringing me back." Janelle Howard '13 from Mechanicsburg, Pa., adds, "The Montana Mountain Climbers are delicious." In case you were wondering, that's a Panini, too. Regardless of why you go, Standing Stone is a must-see--or rather, taste-- at least once before graduating. juniata / Winter '12 13 Reactions in Sync 2 Points of View onFellowships Undergraduate Research and By Genna Welsh Kasun '06 Erin McClure '12 was awarded an American Physiology Society Fellowship in the summer of 2011. Dr. Gregory Stahl '84 not only suggested she apply for the APS award, but also served as her mentor for an internship in his Harvard lab. Erin and Greg share their stories of the internship and fellowship with Juniata Admission Magazine writers. Dr. Gregory Stahl '84 mentored Erin McClure '12--both as she applied for the APS Fellowship and during her internship in his Harvard lab. Your supervisor was Dr. Gregory Stahl '84. What was he like? Erin: I learned quickly that Dr. Stahl prefers to be called Greg. Greg was a great mentor. He was always approachable, laid back and interested in my wellbeing. What from Juniata prepared you for your internship with Greg and what do you think will prep you for the APS fellowship? My professors teach students how to attack problems, mesh new and previously known concepts, and to draw from different disciplines to solve problems. The courses in chemistry, biology and physics were definitely assets, but knowing how to learn was essential. What do you actually do in Greg's lab? What was your project? My project involved using blood from human donors, assessing platelet aggregation, and plotting the data in a meaningful way. To prepare, I read journal articles and obtained some basic training in small animal handling and surgery. What will you do in the APS fellowship? The APS fellowship supported my research by granting a stipend to cover the cost of living in Boston over the summer. It will also provide a travel grant so that I can attend the Experimental Biology Conference and submit a poster of my research in April. I feel prepared though--I've had to give oral presentations, write abstracts and present data in a meaningful way in my lab courses at Juniata. What's your POE and why do you study that specific field? My POE is biochemistry with a secondary emphasis in German. I like the complexity, the technology and the challenge of finding out new things. Germany has a number of productive research institutions like the U.S. and I would love to conduct biomedical research there for at least part of my career. Why are Juniata students good researchers? Why bring them into your Harvard lab? Greg: J.C. students are very, very bright, enthusiastic and great fun to have in the lab. Their educational experience at Juniata prior to coming to my lab is second to none, and I should know, as I have had other undergrads in my lab, early on in my career. It is always easier for Juniata students to understand what we are doing in the lab from day one. I've been bringing J.C. students into my lab since 1995, and I've had more than 15 Juniata students over that time as summer fellows or even have hired them full-time as technicians in my lab. What do Juniata students actually do in your lab? What was Erin's project? Each student is given an individual project, as if they were a graduate student. The projects are tailored so that most of the data can be done within 10-12 weeks. Erin was working on a new project in our lab that was just funded by the National Institutes of Health. She was looking at part of the innate immune system in mediating coagulation. What was it like when she found out she had been awarded the APS fellowship? My lab has a strong track record of getting these fellowships for Juniata students. The award helps students when they apply for graduate and/ or medical school, as they can show that they competed against others in the U.S. and won based on their ability to write, conduct scientific studies and present themselves to others. Did you research as an undergraduate and, if so, what did you research? Absolutely. I did research one summer that I was at Juniata, and I researched at Armed Forces Institute of Pathology another summer. 14 juniata / Winter '12 Photos courtesy of Erin McClure '12 and Greg Stahl '84 Students and Companies Create Lasting Success InnovatIons for O InfInItY By Genna Welsh Kasun '06 n many campuses, computer science majors look vaguely like Napoleon Dynamite. But at Juniata, most information technology, computer science and business students are more comparable to Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame. And one course is leading the revolution. Juniata's Innovations for Industry, or "I4I," course is famous for taking hands-on learning to a new level. In a span of three semesters, students are placed on teams, which collectively tackle the challenges of real world clients, like comScore, iContact and Verizon, from whom they sometimes get more than just a shortterm experience. "An IT or computer science degree can become obsolete in only a few years as technologies change, so the most important lesson for a technology professional is to know how to learn as you work," Goehring says. "Many students come into an I4I project with little training on the software or systems they need to use, but they figure it out and gain vital experience in the process." And what they figure out is incredible. Bill Thomas, professor of information technology and computer science, co-teaches the course with Marlene Burkhardt, professor of IT and business. Thomas adds that students typically learn server administration, network administration, database management, Web development and programming as well as four to five coding languages. But students aren't the only beneficiaries. In addition to getting a solution from their students, some companies, or clients, find the projects fulfilling. "Often, these clients put more in than they get out," Thomas says. "Our clients want not only a product but an opportunity to mentor these students." Clients for this semester also include comScore and Altoona Regional Health System. "Students at Juniata have landed jobs straight out of college when the job ads insisted that `two to three years experience is required,'" Steven Goehring '12 says. "The reason? They've already had two years experience from taking I4I." Goehring is in his third semester of working on a team tasked with redesigning an interface for insurance agents who sell Mutual Benefit Insurance, a company that has hired some of its I4I students in the past. Those students-turned-professionals have used their careers at Mutual Benefit to gain leadership and flexibility, all thanks to original I4I projects. juniata / Winter '12 15 Let's Hit the Books The Best Textbook Options Price, convenience, and quality are all things you think about when it comes to choosing a college. So why not think of textbooks in the same way? It's hard to define how much you'll spend on textbooks in any given semester in college, but we've scrounged around and found the best tips for getting some heavy reading for a not-so-heavy cost. By Ellen Santa Maria '12 Borrowing Are you a friendly person? Can you be friendly enough to convince a friend to let you borrow a textbook for a semester? That's what many students choose to do for textbooks instead of buying them. Kelly O'Shea, a senior from Delran, N.J., is a big fan of this textbook option. She says, "When I realized how expensive it can be to buy or rent books, I said to myself, `Self, there's got to be a better way.' Borrowing textbooks from friends. Economically, it's the cheapest way; plus, you not only get the book, but you get helpful tips and advice from people who've already taken the course". Smart thinking, Kel. Renting One option that's really heating up at Juniata is renting. You pay a fraction of the cost for owning the text, and you just return it at the end of your semester. The only frustration? When the texts have already been highlighted and by someone else. "But it can definitely be worth it for the price," says Katie Shedlock, a junior from McLean, Va. E-Books For the tech-savvy student, sometimes abandoning hard-copy books altogether is the best option. Brian Aungst, a junior from Millerstown, Pa., says, "I really prefer buying e-books and using them either on my computer or tablet because they're not only cheaper, but I find them easier to study with. You can highlight and add notes just like a regular book, but you also have a search bar to help you find specific words or phrases in-text that makes studying a lot less of a burden." Plus, carrying just your laptop or your iPad/tablet around is a lot lighter than a bunch of books. iPad Lucky 2 inners W Used Normally, the word "used" carries a bad connotation. This time though, "used" translates to "cheaper." Many students are choosing to buy used texts to save money. The only concern? Quality control. Senior Sarah Erdely from Perryopolis, Pa., explains, "If I can buy it used, I will because it's much cheaper and it's not a huge difference in quality between used and new." Plus, if the book has already been highlighted, sometimes that's a clue as to what to really focus on while studying. Juniata's market research expert recently sent an electronic survey about this very magazine to 9,000 readers. Two lucky winners, Heather MacNeill (above) and Devon Carman won a $100 Amazon gift card and a $50 iTunes gift card, respectively. Do you have a favorite article from this issue? Are New This is obviously the most expensive option, unless you have a specific purpose in mind for the text. When you're buying new, you're guaranteed quality. "If it's a book that I know I want for the future, or one that will be relevant for my career, I'll buy it new," says Holly Brandes, a senior from State College, Pa. Sometimes, dishing out some extra dough is worth it in the long run when it comes to textbooks you'll use on and off for the rest of your career. we missing something you'd like to hear more about?

Students frequenting Baker often are just as creative as the menu. I talked to five Juniata students who have taken Baker up a notch to meet their own personal needs. So prep your taste buds and chow down on the ultimate student-made Baker concoctions. Meet John Hill '12. He's a football player from Pennington, N.J.--so the man needs his food. For athletes who need extra fuel for amped-up intensity on the field, John has figured out a way to keep any sports star happy. He made what he calls "makeshift ranch gumbo." Don't be scared off too quickly; he assures you it's worth the risk. "Usually students will get something like rice and some chicken or beef. Some times we crave a little more kick than what most students can handle. I mix the meat and rice together. Then I go over to the salad bar and add ranch dressing. It gives the food a little more buzz in your taste buds," he says. the team has been passing down the recipe so field hockey players can master it and impress their friends. Shauna has been kind Pa., on the Juniata field hockey team, was taught how to make it from a former player. Ever since, Certain traditions are too lovable to ever let go, and the "dino" egg is certainly among these. Shauna Deschenes '12, from Duncannon, it's fun to make because you get to use the panini maker. Tori explains, "Take two pieces of bread and spread an enjoyable amount of peanut butter evenly over each side. Then, slice up a banana into little discs. Put them in between the pieces of bread. All you have to do after that is spray the bread with non-stick spray and throw it in the panini press." Perfect for those rainy days when you just want to stay in bed--but instead you choose to go to Baker to eat. When I interviewed Tori Lecuit '12 from Speonk, N.J., I felt like she was channeling my mother--or maybe Elvis. Her Peanut Butter Banana Panini seemed to be the perfect source of comfort food in Baker. Plus, Angelica Molinari '12, from Sayville, N.Y., is proudly Italian--so it's hard to impress her with pizza. She prefers to handle it herself by taking a regular bagel from the breakfast line and turning it into a blast from the past: the pizza bagel. She says, "making a pizza bagel isn't difficult at all. The first step is to get a bagel and toast it. Then, head over to the pizza line where you spread either tomato or cheese sauce on the bagel halves. After you put the sauce on the bagel, just ask the kindly pizza attendant to bake it." If you want to spice it up a bit, grab veggies from the salad bar, or some meats from the deli line, and make your own supreme pizza bagel. hard technique to master, but oh so worth it. enough to share the secret with us, but mastering the technique takes practice, she says. It's made of vanilla ice cream, melted peanut butter, and crushed-up Special K cereal. Still deterred by the "dino egg" title? Didn't think so. "Different flavors of ice cream and types of cereal can be substituted," says Shauna. "All you have to do is crush the Special K in one bowl, heat up the peanut butter in a microwave in another bowl, and slap a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a third bowl. Then, just pour the peanut butter over the vanilla ice cream, and add the cereal. Use an empty bowl to cover the bowl of ingredients, and press the bowls tightly together. Make a circular motion with the bowls until the concoction has formed a solid egg shape," explains Shauna. As a member of the team, I've tried to make a dino egg several times, and it never comes out looking like an egg; Shauna's does every time.

But Andy Waplinger, a senior from Dallastown, Pa., has the right idea. He takes his academics seriously, and his professional experiences too. Where has his hard work gotten him? Hollywood. No joke.

NEWARK, NJ - OCTOBER 01: Zach Parise and Ilya Kovalchuk of the New Jersey Devils celebrate Parise's goal at 14:14 of the first period against the New York Islanders at the Prudential Center on October 1, 2010 in Newark, New Jersey. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
Ilya Kovalchuk surprisingly bolted from the NHL this summer, retiring from the New Jersey Devils and signing with SKA St. Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League in his native Russia. It seems Kovalchuk didn't bring any of that American tendency to disagree with the government back to his homeland. Asked about Russia's vague -- but not so vaguely threatening -- anti-gay laws, Kovalchuk took the party line. "I agree, of course," he said. "I'm Russian, and we all have to respect that. It's personal and, like I said, it's a free world, but that's our line. That's our country, so everybody has to respect that." If it's hard to parse some of that -- we all have to respect that he's Russian? it's a free world until you get to Russia? -- Kovalchuk clearly isn't straddling any blue lines here. At least publicly, he supports the law that is kicking up controversy and concern heading into next year's Winter Olympics in the Russian city of Sochi. Kovalchuk was a prolific scorer in the ...
