Dr Shelley Godsland is Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies and joined the department in April 2007. She previously worked at the University of Liverpool, Royal Holloway University of London, and Manchester Metropolitan University where she established and directed the Crime Fictions Research Centre and founded and managed the Crime Fictions Research Series of monographs and edited collections.
Dr Godsland is a qualified lecturer and holds a certificate in teaching adults. She has worked in Spain as a Visiting Professor at various institutions teaching at Undergraduate, MA and PhD levels. At the University of Birmingham she has designed and delivered courses on Spanish language as well as on contemporary Hispanic and Lusophone literature, and has shared her pedagogical expertise with international audiences through her delivery of papers and sessions at conferences devoted to excellence in teaching and via specialist pedagogical publications.
At postgraduate level Dr Godsland has supervised theses on Peninsular and Latin American literature. She welcomes proposals from applicants wishing to work on contemporary narrative in Spanish or Portuguese, particularly from prospective students who want to employ a cultural studies or feminist based theoretical approach, or who would like to study detective fiction or other areas covered by Dr Godsland's research and teaching.
Dr Godsland's PhD thesis offered a Lacanian reading of fictions by women writers from Brazil and Argentina. Since completing her doctorate she has continued to work on gender issues in contemporary narrative, and has published on female authors such as the Latin Americans Angélica Gorodischer, Sylvia Molloy, and Helena Parente Cunha, and contemporary Spanish and Catalan novelists, including Almudena Grandes, Corín Tellado, Dulce Chacón, Alicia Giménez-Bartlett, Isabel-Clara Simó, Maria-Antonia Oliver, and Mercè Rodoreda.
Although this published material examines the textual articulation of female experience, Dr Godsland has also analysed male writers' narrativisation of such issues as the female sex tourist, the aesthetics of the female body in the medical thriller, and the conjunction of the exoticised female other and the tradition of the adventure tale in authors such as Francisco Umbral, Ramón J. Sender, and Manuel Zeno Gandía.
She has also published very extensively on crime and detective fictions from Latin America and Spain, including articles on Manuel Vázquez Montalbán.
Dr Godsland's current research is a British Academy funded project that analyses cultural responses to gendered aggression in contemporary Spain, more particularly 'domestic' violence.
Dr Godsland also participates in research groups in Spain devoted to the study of the nation's detective fiction. These have been funded by the Junta de Castilla y León and the Spanish government.
At the University of Birmingham Dr Godsland is Director of Teaching and Learning for the School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music, a role within which she is able to deploy some of the skills acquired while successfully completing two Certificates in Management from the internationally recognised Institute of Leadership and Management. In this role Dr Godsland is responsible for organising the School's annual symposium on sharing best practice in teaching and learning.
Dr Godsland is also an Honorary Research Associate at Monash University (Melbourne), where she held a Visiting Research Fellowship; Visiting Professor at Universitas Castellae (Valladolid, Spain); Visiting Lecturer on the Pós-graduação em Estudos Latino-Americanos organised by the Universidade Fernando Pessoa (Porto); and Visiting Professor for doctoral courses at the Universidad de León (Spain).
Among other roles, she has also been Spokesperson for Overseas Members within the AILCFH (Asociación Internacional de Literatura y Cultura Femenina Hispánica); International Member, Centro de Estudos Latino-Americanos, Universidade Fernando Pessoa (Porto); Series Editor of the University of Wales Press' Detective Fiction Critical Series; and has been appointed to the editorial boards of Monash Romance Studies (Delaware University Press), Clues, the Revista de Estudos Latino-Americanos, and Cuadernos de Estudios Manuel Vázquez Montalbán.
Additionally, she has served as a reviewer for many scholarly journals, including Clues, Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies, Revista de Estudos Latino-Americanos, Transcultures, Letras Femeninas, Interface, La Nueva Literatura Hispánica, Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, Hispania.
She has been External Examiner at several UK universities.
Dr Godsland has delivered Keynote Papers and Invited Lectures at universities and conferences in Spain, the USA, Colombia, the UK, Australia, Ireland and Chile.
Dr Godsland has been interviewed about her work for many radio and TV programmes, as well as newspapers, including Televisión Castilla y León; TeleMedellín; BBC Radio 3; El adelantado de Segovia; TeleAntioquia; Colombian Radio's 'Página en blanco' programme.

'Dexter' Season 7: Dexter worries about Deb, while Deb writhes around in bedAdd to Favorites | Dexter
"Dexter" continues to drop hints as to what is in store for the Season 7 premiere. In this latest promo, Deb is the focus as Dexter voiceovers:
"It's my worst nightmare. Uncontrollable, inescapable. My dark passenger exposed to the one person I've always thought I could protect from it. And I don't know what happens next. I found a way to live with my secret, but I never had a choice. Does she?"
The imagery is powerful - it shows Deb writhing around in bed, trapped beneath a black sheet. Which definitely calls to mind not only what she saw Dexter do (via the voiceover) but also her own secret - that she's in love with Dexter.
Looks like some heady stuff come Sunday, September 30 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.

Many ISU psychology majors go to graduate school. If you think that you may be interested in continuing your education beyond the bachelor's degree, your will need to start collecting information early. Do not wait until your senior year! The earlier you start, the better your chances of gaining admission to graduate school.
This section will help students explore, prepare for, gain acceptance to, and succeed in their graduate education. It contains a time table for applying to graduate school, a sample letter for requesting information from graduate programs, tips on preparing for and taking the GRE, and advice on how to prepare the personal statement that is a required part of most graduate school applications. It also includes descriptions of 15 areas of graduate school specialization.
What kind of graduate degree should I pursue? The major decisions a student must make about graduate school are whether to apply to a master's (1-2 years beyond the bachelor's) or a doctoral program (4 or more years beyond the bachelors'), and in what area.
For example, a student who wants to teach in a university and/or conduct research generally needs a Ph.D. in psychology. A person who wants to practice clinical psychology needs a Ph.D. or a Psy.D. in psychology. A person who wants to work in the public school system as a psychologist may seek a Ph.D. in school psychology. A person who wants to work in many areas of human services may seek a master's degree in one of the areas of counseling. Students with high ability but a weak academic background might apply to a master's program in general experimental psychology to demonstrate that they can handle graduate level work. In addition, they might take a year off to work as a full time research assistant, or to work in the mental health field.
The Summer Before Senior Year
September to November of Senior Year
December of Senior Year
Over Winter Break of Senior Year
January to March of Senior Year
April to May of Senior Year
The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is required by virtually every graduate program in psychology. It consists of two separate three hour tests:
Most graduate programs require only the General Test, and the verbal and mathematical scores of the General Test are commonly viewed as most important. Consult APA's Graduate Programs in Psychology to determine the specific requirements of individual programs.
More information, including where you can take the GRE, can be found at: http://www.ets.org/
Students often ask if it is possible to study for the GRE. The answer is YES! There are two major reasons for this emphatic response, one dealing with knowledge enhancement and the other with anxiety reduction. There are several published study guides for the GRE (the one published by Barrons is highly recommended). These guides contain sample tests and are designed primarily to prepare a student to take the quantitative and verbal sections of the General Test. Students who intend to go to graduate school should purchase a GRE study guide in their junior year and spend a number of serious hours studying it during the subsequent summer. Re-reading lecture notes from psychology classes and reviewing a copy of a recently published general psychology (PSY 101) textbook are the best ways to prepare for the GRE Subject Test in psychology.
Even if a student does not learn anything new while studying for the GRE (which is highly unlikely), the process of becoming familiar with the type of material to be tested and the format of the test itself will reduce test anxiety and increase test-taking speed. In their chapter from 'Is Psychology the Major for You?,' Lunneborg and Wilson (1987) make the following points about the importance of the GRE and the attitude that students should develop toward it:
"How important is the GRE? Very important, but it is only one of several criteria evaluated. One's attitude toward the GRE should be acknowledging its importance, studying hard for it, doing as well as possible, and then following through with an application strategy consistent with one's test scores. Poorer-than-expected test scores may mean toning down one's list of prospective graduate programs. In addition, the GRE should be viewed as a one-time endeavor. Even though the test can be retaken, all scores are reported, and the first scores are generally considered as the most valid. There is a 50-50 chance for getting a poorer second score; most students we have known did not do significantly better on a second try" (p. 92).
Another test required by approximately 25% of graduate programs is the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) which consists of 100 analogies administered in 50 minutes. A free booklet describing the MAT can be obtained from the Psychological Corporation, 304 East 85th Street, New York, NY 10017.
Most graduate schools require a personal statement as a part of your application. This statement is often centered around your interest in psychology, your personal background, the reasons you are applying to that particular graduate program, and your career and personable objectives. Although a well-written personal statement will not overcome poor grades or low GRE scores, a poor one will surely hurt your chances of acceptance. Fretz and Stang (1988) cite the following example:
"Take the case of the student with a competitive grade point average and good references who was not accepted to any of the 11 programs he applied for. One cannot be sure, but the biographical statement included with his applications is the suspected reason. First, it was poorly typed, with many smears and crossed-out words. The spelling and grammar were both appalling. Finally, the content left much to be desired. It was far too long--about 15 pages--and went into detail about this person's philosophy of life (which was far from the establishment viewpoint). It also stressed emotional agonies and turning points in his life. Hoping to cure the world of all its evils, this person tried to indicate how a Ph.D. in psychology was necessary to fulfill that end. In short, it was an overstated, ill-conceived essay that may have be been received so badly that it overshadowed his other attributes and data" (p. 45).
Plan and produce your personal statement as carefully as you would a crucial term paper. The following tips (quotes taken from Fretz and Stang, 1988) will help you produce a personal statement that is impressive and effective:
Graduate school can be a traumatic experience. Many graduate students spend their time complaining about the heavy work load, the uncaring attitudes of faculty, and the constant pressure of being evaluated. These students quickly begin to devalue their graduate education, deny its relevance, and develop strategies that help them to "beat the system" (i.e., merely satisfying degree requirements without engaging in any actual learning). Graduate school for these people is an unpleasant experience to be endured, survived, and forgotten as quickly as possible. What a shame!
Another group seems to thrive on their graduate education. According to Bloom and Bell (1979): "These are the few who proceed through the program with the minimum amount of difficulty and a maximum amount of quality performance. They are respected by the faculty, they receive the best financial assistance, they receive accolades, and as a group, they end up with the best employment" (p. 231). These are the graduate school superstars. But what makes them so successful? Bloom and Bell asked 40 of their colleagues (who had earned doctorates from well-known programs around the country) to describe the superstars they had known. The results were amazingly consistent and can be organized into the following five factors.
Note that the above characteristics do not include intelligence, excellent grades, or writing ability. Perhaps these qualities are simply assumed to exist in superstars.
The lesson to be learned from these findings is that success in graduate school is due to more that just raw brain power. It is also strongly affected by dedication, hard work, loyalty, a willingness to embrace the values of a program, and the ability to make faculty feel worthwhile and rewarded.
Descutner and Thelen (1989) asked 79 faculty members from nine APA-approved clinical psychology graduate programs to describe a successful clinical psychology graduate student by rating 25 characteristics and behaviors on a 6-point scale ranging from not important (1) to very important (6). These characteristics and behaviors (and their average ratings) are listed below in decreasing order of rated importance.
Characteristic/Behavior (Rating):
It is no surprise that faculty in clinical psychology programs place a premium value on graduate students who work hard, possess good social skills, and write well. However, a surprise does occur with the fourth and fifth items. Most students preparing for graduate education in clinical psychology assume that clinical and counseling skills will be much more valuable to them in graduate school than their ability to perform research. Not so!
Descutner and Thelen's data clearly indicate that potential clinicians should work equally as hard to develop their research skills--in courses such as experimental psychology, statistics, and research projects--as they do to develop their clinical and counseling skills.
Another interesting finding from this survey is that the ability to handle stress and display discipline are rated as more important to graduate student success than either good grades or high intelligence. Apparently graduate faculty prefer to work with emotionally stable students who can produce consistently above average work and meet deadlines, as opposed to highly intelligent, straight-A students who are personally and academically erratic, unorganized, or unpredictable. Undergraduate students who suffer from stress and who have a difficult time managing their academic and personal lives in a disciplined manner can develop the skills to overcome these deficiencies through classes or personal counseling.

MINNEAPOLIS Already bowl eligible, the University of Minnesota football team had less on the line than the visiting Michigan State Spartans on Saturday. MSU came to TCF Bank Stadium with a 5-6 record, needing one more win to become bowl eligible. The Spartans took care of business, beating the Gophers26-10. Minnesota's loss was overshadowed by yet another seizure by head coach Jerry Kill, which kept him from being on the sideline during the second half. Without their coach out there in the second half, the Gophers were outscored 13-3 after halftime. Here are five things we learned from Minnesota's loss to Michigan State. 1. Where was the Gophers offense? Minnesota knew it was up against one of the toughest defenses in the Big Ten when it faced Michigan State. The offensive output from the game against the Spartans was probably not what the Gophers envisioned, though. At the end of the game, Minnesota had just four rushing yards. The Gophers didn't have much success through the a...

Aikido was developed in Japan in the late 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba who, as a young man, studied and mastered many of the traditional "bujutsu" or warrior arts. Ueshiba came to believe that the true essence of the warrior path lay not in winning battles but in the encouragement of cooperation and harmony among people. He developed Aikido, which means "The Way of Harmony with Spirit," out of this basic insight.
Therefore, unlike most martial arts, Aikido is primarily defensive. Ueshiba taught the importance of harmonizing with, and redirecting the force of, an attack to immobilize the attacker without harm. He instilled an ethical philosophy encouraging self-development and cooperation.
Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido, or
Ki-Aikido for short, was developed by one of
Ueshiba's greatest students, Koichi Tohei,
who believed that the essence of Ueshiba's
Aikido was the way it fostered the
coordination of mind and body. Tohei called
the development of this coordination Ki
Quoted from the book "What is Aikido," by Koichi Tohei,
10th dan and founder of Ki Society:
Aikido does not rely on bodily strength but rather on the coordination of mind and body, and thus the practice of Aikido is beneficial to all regardless of age, physical stature or gender. Most importantly, the Aikido philosophies and practices concentrate on self cultivation and can be applied to one's every-day life.

It happens to me every year. I forget about getting all the Valentine's cards for the kids school parties together. Somehow it's more of a project than any other holiday. This year I was surprised by the home school co-op having a Valentine's party too. With Emmeth in fifth grade I had thought I might get away with ignoring it entirely, but no such luck. Thank goodness for crafty people on the internet. Above are the ones we made, inspired by this project. His hand will hold a lollipop, which as you can see I still need to pick up (truthfully, I also still need to print them). Considering we have a Walgreens at the end of the street, that really shouldn't be so hard.
Here are some of the runners-up.
Felted pencil wraps, origami cards, celebration bags and those cute little hand cards. And just for fun, here's a fabulous project I should start working on now for next year. Little flip books from the Etsy blog by You are my fave. Isn't it sweet?
What are you doing for Valentine's Day?
We are making mix cd's for both kid's classroom parties. I am of the opinion that 2 year olds shouldn't eat candy and my already hyper 5 year old shouldn't eat much either… so I go the "non-candy" route. The Valentine's will the cd sleeves. The kids will decorate them while I burn… uh… 40 cd's by Wednesday. Better get on it! I love your ideas!
I picked up two packs of Star Wars valentines at Walmart. I love all those cute ideas, but I've seen too many kids tear through to the candy without a second look at the valentine. Fifth grade is probably a bit different than 1st, though :).
P.S. If you have time, could you make sure you see my second post tomorrow? I'd really like your opinion. (layout/design issues)
Super cute! You should enter your photos from this project into Craftbaby's Hearts Craft Challenge :-) http://www.craftbaby.com/contests/43/those-tiny-toes-hearts-craft

Thank you Nick, from my heart.

An updated bio, finally! OK, it's only been about 9 months since I signed on but it needed changing. My ID pic is a painting by the amazing Olivier Castillon created for me, commissioned by my best friend. I am the troll, he is the bear-it is our story.
I am 51 now, female, happily single for many years. Another edit-I have lupus-it sucks. Took out all of the details, no one wants to read that depressing stuff anyway.
So. That is me at present. I try to deal with this but some things seem to be falling by the wayside. Some friends can't handle either the illness or the changes in me-they either need to get over it or walk out for a while. I can barely deal with this myself-they have to figure out their own problems about this and me.
Really love dA and have met some wonderful and truly talented people here. I get so excited when I find someone new whose art captures me. I will post new stuff when I can. I thank you for sharing your art. Take care!

The Kardashians
Source: Khloe Kardashian Reportedly Suffered a Tragic Loss in February (Update)
UPDATE: Khloe Kardashian has denied rumors that she suffered a miscarriage earlier this year. For the full details, click here.
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom haven't had an easy go of it since migrating to Dallas in December. We've all seen the NBA star's troubles play out on-screen, but one source says Lam Lam wasn't the only one experiencing heartbreak in the Big D. Life & Style claims that Khloe suffered a miscarriage in February that rocked the couple to their core.
A friend of Khloe's told the magazine that the reality star was understandably torn apart at the loss of her unborn child. To make matters worse, she didn't have the usual support she's come to expect from her doting husband. Lamar was struggling with his own issues with being unable to perform on the court at the time and couldn't be there for his reality sweetheart, says the source.
But the tragedy has only left the brazen brunette more determined to get pregnant. An insider says Khloe is undergoing acupuncture treatment to increase her chances of pregnancy.
Khlomar's Dallas departure may be a blessing in disguise. The reality sweethearts are headed back to Los Angeles, where both Khloe and Lamar can reconnect with friends and family — and hopefully, each other.
And, judging by pics posted by Khloe's big sis Kim Kardashian on April 10, it looks like they're already having a blast back in Cali. Kimmy showed off cute photos from Khloe's homecoming party on Twitter. "Welcome home KoKo!!!!" the ecstatic celebutante wrote, along with an adorable family photo.

Robert Mugabe has responded to the humiliation he faced in Parliament on Tuesday by threatening to form a government, with or without the MDC.
In remarks made at a luncheon following the unprecedented scenes in parliament where his speech was often drowned out by the jeers of MDC MPs who clapped and sang songs deriding him and his ZANU PF party, Mugabe said he would soon be setting up a government as the MDC does not want to come in.
The comments drew an angry response from both factions of the MDC. Nelson Chamisa warned Mugabe that he would be declaring war against the people if he goes ahead and announces a new cabinet.
"You can't just have a cabinet without a mandate. He should wait for the conclusion of the dialogue together with the MDC, otherwise what he is doing is a recipe for disaster," Chamisa said.
The spokesperson for the smaller MDC faction, Edwin Mushoriwa added: "We are not going to be part of Mugabe's government. We are actually looking forward to the conclusion of the dialogue when Mugabe and Tsvangirai form a transitional government."
Hebson Makuvise, the MDC chief representative in London said despite events in the last two days which clearly proved Mugabe needed to cooperate with the MDC more now than ever, the lesson still appears not to have hit home.
"Mugabe is a person who unfortunately uses the one tool that he always uses whenever he wishes to deliver a message, and that is force. You only need to look at his record, and it's not the way to conduct business these days," Makuvise said.
Both MDC factions are keen to revive the power-sharing talks to bring an end to a decade-long political crisis. Negotiations broke off without a deal two weeks ago when Tsvangirai accused Mugabe of unwillingness to let go of some of his executive authority.

Big Brothers Big Sisters coming to Valencia County
The nation's largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters, is coming to Valencia County to offer their school-based mentoring program in area schools.
Angela Reed Padilla, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central New Mexico, said they are partnering with the Valencia County Juvenile Justice Board and US Bank to bring the program to Valencia County as a way to enrich children's lives and keep as many youngsters as possible out of "the system."
Padilla said the organization has been serving children in Valencia County for several years through their community-based mentoring program, but that it's always a challenge in rural areas to find available volunteers.
The school-based program offers mentoring for children at an area school, rather than the community-based mentoring program in which big brothers and big sisters mentor their little sister or brother out in the community on weekends or evenings doing activities.
Partnering with the Valencia County Juvenile Justice Board, she said, is what has made bringing in the school-based program a reality.
"These (the Justice Board) are a lot of passionate and dedicated business and community leaders in Valencia County who care about youth and want to make a difference and especially want to effect academic outcomes, including high school graduation rates and keeping kids out of the juvenile justice system," Padilla said. "This board approached Big Brothers Big Sisters to be a stronger partner with them and they really recognize one-to-one mentoring as a way to help keep kids in school and focus on positive outcomes."
No organization can provide services without funding, says Padilla. So the Juvenile Justice Board helped them obtain a grant to fund more community-based mentoring.
Then, to help them realize their vision to take their services further and establish a school-based program, they partnered with US Bank, which has donated a grant of $20,000 to get the program off the ground and running.
BBBS will be announcing which elementary school they will be partnering with by March and hope to match about 20 students with mentors through that program by the fall.
Jacob Armijo, US Bank marketing president in Los Lunas, said he got involved in the project after being approached by Valencia County resident Nathan Koontz, who works in the commercial real estate department for US Bank in Albuquerque and is a BBBS board member.
"Being that (Branch Manager) Larina (Lucero) and I work in the Valencia County community and live there, we thought it was a great opportunity," said Armijo.
They met with BBBS in September 2012 and talked about what the vision was and how BBBS works and how it would benefit the county. Next, a grant was written and ultimately approved by the US Bank Foundation to fund the program.
Padilla says that bringing BBBS into rural communities, such as Valencia County, provide opportunities for youth that might not otherwise be available.
"The further out you get away from metro areas the less opportunities are available for children," said Padilla. "When you look at graduation rates, when you look at opportunities for success, it's tougher for these kids to succeed and go to college than it is in the metro areas, where they have more support. In New Mexico, we're suffering in our metro areas as well."
She said the impact on children of one-to-one mentoring, and having an adult in a child's life that spends time with them is invaluable. It builds childrens' confidence on a social level, she said, and builds aspirations as well as helps them on an academic level by showing children how to trouble shoot and learn how to learn.
"The message from mentors is, regardless of where you came from, of what's happening now, you can make the choices and the decisions that will help you succeed in life," she says. "And really the singular message is, 'Stay in school.' … Mentors help through their own wisdom and being a role model."
There is a great need for male mentors since boys will often wait up to two years to be matched with a big brother volunteer.
In the school-based mentor program, mentors need only volunteer one hour a week with their little.
BBBS Board Chairman and CEO of HB Construction Adam Harrington said that the state of New Mexico needs its children to succeed everywhere.
"To prosper as a state, everyone has to prosper, especially the kids," Harrington said.

Baltimore Sun reporters Jeff Barker and Don Markus and editor Matt Bracken weigh in on the three biggest topics of the past week in Maryland sports.
What is the mood of Maryland's football program heading to West Virginia on Saturday as a four-touchdown underdog?
Jeff Barker: I'm certain Maryland appreciates the magnitude of its task Saturday -- to try to hang with a Top 10 program boasting one of the nation's most prolific offenses.
- Weekly Maryland recruiting roundup
- Terps' Kenny Tate could return, but Boykins, Bowers out
- Kam Williams, Mount St. Joseph guard, headed to Ohio State
- Maryland vs. Stanford in 2014 Foster Farms Bowl
- Terps football 2014

The Mountaineers are averaging 612 yards of offense through their first two games. That's just ridiculous.
But the coaches and players around Gossett Football Team House seem to have a different attitude about playing such challenging games this season. They don't seem to be in a funk, as some were in 2011 during that season-ending, eight-game losing streak.
It's not that they are satisfied yet with who they are or how this year is going. It's that they are realistic. They have a freshman quarterback and a dozen more true freshmen on the two-deep depth chart, including special teams. They have new offensive and defensive coordinators this season.
The sense around Maryland's program is that this a long-term process of trying to build a program back up.
What fans will need to judge is whether there is indeed something being created in College Park -- whether the program is headed in the right direction. Whether it's going anywhere.
Are coaches getting maximum effort from the players? Are the players learning and improving? Is the recruiting sufficient to keep the team moving forward? Is the team more united than last season, when it seemed split between Edsall guys and Friedgen holdovers?
These aren't always easy items to judge. But that -- as well as wins and losses -- is what I think you've got to assess as the season rolls on.
Did Danny O'Brien make a mistake leaving Maryland?
Don Markus: Three weeks ago, after Danny O'Brien completed 19 of 23 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns for Wisconsin in a season-opening win over Northern Iowa, I was among many who figured the former Maryland quarterback made a great move going to Madison.
Two weeks ago, after O'Brien and the Badgers struggled mightily in a 10-7 loss at Oregon State, I started to have my doubts that what seemed like a perfect marriage between a talented quarterback looking for a new team and a perennial Big Ten contender looking for someone to replace Russell Wilson had suddenly left the honeymoon phase.
Last Saturday night, as I watched O'Brien get benched at halftime after his second fumble in as many weeks and nearly his second interception, then saw his backup, redshirt freshman Joel Stave, help the Badgers overcome a fourth-quarter deficit and survive when Utah State missed a last-second field goal, I started thinking that O'Brien had made a mistake leaving College Park.
O'Brien had a tough job trying to take over for Wilson, who had nearly a perfect season in his one-year career at Wisconsin (after playing three at N.C. State). Look at where Wilson is now: starting for the Seattle Seahawks after getting drafted in the third round last spring.
The reason O'Brien went to Wisconsin rather than Penn State was to play for a Big Ten championship and go to a Rose Bowl or some other BCS game, maybe even get a shot at a national championship. The reason he went to play for the Badgers rather than Vanderbilt was that his starting job seemed nearly assured.
And now?
It appears as if O'Brien will be getting another chance when the Badgers host Texas-El Paso at Camp Randall Stadium Saturday. But it could be his last chance, and he will be going out there on a very short rope.
First-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada, himself under some pressure after replacing Paul Chryst (now the head coach at Pittsburgh), hinted that O'Brien could be back in the starting lineup but made it clear that he can't keep turning the ball over.
"I don't think that is anything I've ever been a part of, and I don't think that is anything coach [Brett Bielema] has been a part of, having a quick trigger and have guys worry," Canada told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal.

After days and weeks and months of hard work, we have finally managed to display the whole picture in the frame. From designing the theme to converting the imagination into a perfect picture. Converting nearly 200 posts to suit this new look, finding updates for new userscripts, tricks and hacks and updating most of them. It has been a learning experience and we thank you for supporting us and not slamming us for not posting frequently (last couple of months)
There have been a lot of issues fixed in the past 48 hours. There were some alignment issues which were taken care off. When it looked that everything was fine, bandwidth issues pushed that opinion further from conclusion. We had to shift all the images and files to some other host.
» Known Issues
There are some known bugs which would need some mending and some with will need time to get fixed. Here are some of the common bugs we have noticed
» Sidebar Issue in IE 7 and IE 8
Right Sidebar falls down in IE7 and IE8. Looks good in IE6. These are known issues and will be taken care of sooner rather than later. This site has been designed to look best in Firefox
» Where are the Feed Subscribers Gone?
We had 999 feed subscribers when we manually paused the automated email system whenever a new post was submitted. Posted a few posts and activated the service once again. Early this morning, it showed 90 and now 357 readers by feedburner. Strange, it shows 1706 Subscribers in our control panel.
It is a known issue and hopefully fix on it's own.
» Old Posts
There are a few posts left which need to be formatted to suit the new color scheme. We expect the work to finish in a day or two.
» Some ThankYou's
This is the most important part. Thanking those who came to support us. We would like to thank all of you for making us worthy enough to buy our own domain. Indianpad(?) for teaching me everything i know today. Special thanks to it's userforce for getting the best out of me. Thanks Darnell Clayton (InsideOrkut) for giving Orkut Plus! a push into the world wide web and being there to solve our problems and replying to countless emails and scraps )
Update – We missed the 'biggest one'. All Credits to Mr Bean (Orkut Addons) for helping us uncountable times and suggesting and testing out the features plus selecting the domain name (.in or .org). This one would have not been possible without his support. Thank you once again )
» What's Next?
First of all, we would like to jump back to posting some quality hacks which are lined up in queue. We are very sure thinking about another orkut dedicated project – HTMLorkut.com and a very high quality orkut proxy – meriproxy.com for all of you. )
» What do you think of our new design?

Faulty mechanics are no longer an issue for Tim Tebow, at least according to his quarterback's coach Steve Clarkson. Tebow has long been criticized for having a long, loopy throwing motion and atypical mechanics for an NFL quarterback. But all that has changed this offseason, Clarskon said in an interview with the New York Daily News. Clarkson has a long history of success with NFL quarterbacks, including Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Leinart and potential first-round prospect Matt Barkley. Now, he's seeing some positive results with Tebow, too, which he says all starts with his footwork. "The footwork is essentially what caused a lot of his looping motion," Clarkson said. "A lot of what was happening with his throwing motion and why it was elongated was because of the way he placed his feet at the end of his drop. Right before he'd make his throw, his hips would stop at mid-motion, and the ball would come off in funny places. So that was one thing that we really honed in on, was trying to tie his feet up. "We worked a lot on slowing the game down for him in terms of on the field, but also speeding up the game for him in terms of mechanics," he added. "Most of what people have talked about in his throwing motion were really based on his footwork." Clarkson did focus on some of the positives about Tebow's game as well, and believes that the improved mechanics will only serve to improve his ability. "He sees the field extremely well. He anticipates where things are going to happen, but his relationship with his feet going to his arm didn't mesh. He would look like he was throwing into coverage. He was throwing into the right spot, but he was just late because he couldn't transfer his weight properly." Tebow, 25, struggled to find the field last season with the Jets, throwing just eight passes in 12 games. He led the Denver Broncos to the divisional playoffs just one season before, but teams — even the Jets — are still hesitant to give Tebow a shot at their starting job. Clarkson hopes that the adjustments he has made this offseaon will change that reality. "I would hope wherever he ends up, they give him an opportunity to play, because if they do, they'll be pleasantly surprised," Clarkson said. "I think the guy can still play." There doesn't seem to be much of a market for Tebow right now, and even the Jets don't appear interested in keeping him around. But, if what Clarkson says is true, then most teams would be smart to at least give him a chance. Have a question for Luke Hughes? Send it to him via Twitter at @LukeFHughes or send it here.
Did the coach fix Tebow's "issue"? I think it's funny that anyone would assume he only has one.
LOL to CORavensFan! I thought the same thing.
Anyway, I thought Tebow was working with this guy last off-season? Guess not. One has to wonder though, first of all, can Tebow really be fixed? When the pressure starts to get to him, will he revert to his old natural (but wrong) mechanics and wind up hurting his team with bad throws? Second, after three years and nothing but a streak of luck to show for it, will any team really give him a chance?
I know, many will say his streak at Denver wasn't luck. I happen to think it was, but I understand some won't agree. Defenses simply weren't set up to deal with a QB that can run as well as Tebow does. At any rate, having been punished by QB's that can do the run-option AND can really throw, you can bet defenses are going to be better prepared for it this year. Not that they'll stop it, but it will start to lose some effectiveness, and that puts Tebow in a bind unless he really has fixed his throwing issues.
Tim also worked with a couple of other guys including Steve Young. The report from the guys who caught balls for Tim and Steve was excellent. Tim has said this was his best off-season yet and I wonder if possibly that means he feels good about what he learned. The thing about muscle memory is just time and we know he practices faithfully and it can be reprogrammed so he does not revert to his hold way under pressure. I am anxious to see him play again.

The easiest way to explain how The American Shakespeare Center handles the troubling aspects of a play like The Merchant of Venice is to describe what happened during intermission Friday night, but since that event wasn't actually part of the play, I'm saving it for last.
Religious hatred is part of the play; so is romantic comedy, and those two aspects of human experience don't sit well together, which may be why Merchant isn't as popular as plays that separate the dark and troubling from the trivial and frivolous. Most of us prefer theater that makes sense of the world to theater that leaves us wondering if the world makes sense, which is what ordinary life makes a lot of us wonder, after all, especially in the internet age. Today on the homepage of the Spanish newspaper El Pais, for example, you can vote for your favorite TV series in a box beside a video of Islamists in Mali whipping a couple taken in adultery. In a world where that kind of juxtaposition is part of ordinary life, the mixing in The Merchant of Venice rings completely true. At least in the hands of these people it does.
Here's a brief summary of the action:
Bassanio asks to borrow 3000 ducats from Antonio so he can chase a woman in style, but Antonio is strapped for cash, so he co-signs on a loan from Shylock, a Jewish loanshark, whom he has often insulted. Shylock may be willing to let this business deal improve relations with Antonio, but the latter insults him again: "An evil soul, producing holy witness, is like a villain with a smiling cheek," he tells Bassanio. Shylock then sets the penalty for default on the loan at a pound of Antonio's flesh, to be cut from the body part of Shylock's choosing, if the money isn't repaid in three months, which no one thinks will be a problem for Antonio, even Shylock himself.
After Bassanio sets out, Shylock's world unravels; first his servant decides he's tired of working for a stingy Jew, then his daughter runs off with a Christian — and with Shylock's jewels — so that when ill winds threaten to keep Antonio's ships from reaching port in time, Shylock's bitterness fixates on that pound of flesh, to which he has a legal right as soon as the repayment deadline passes. And it does. Shylock takes Antonio to court, where he expects to mutilate him, but he is out-lawyered by a 'Christian doctor,' and is then humiliated by a brutal show of 'Christian mercy.' After he stumbles off the stage, we get to watch a couple of the women spend all of Act V making their husbands think they slept with other men to spite them, which they didn't really do, but it's fun to watch them tell their husbands that they did! Everybody loves a cuckhold joke.
Three star-turns make sure we don't try to separate the bitter from the sweet in this production. The lightest of the three is Chris Johnston's five minute tour-de-farce as the Prince of Arragon, who would like to marry Portia, the beautiful heiress whose father decreed that her suitors had to play a shell-game — pick the chest with Portia's picture in it and you win the prize! Johnston bursts onto the stage in an ermine cape and a feather headdress, with a jeweled codpiece and a hyperdramatic European accent. When he stumbles on his way to kiss the lady's hand, he covers his gaffe with disco sequence right out of Saturday Night Fever. It's no surprise that he opts for the chest with the slogan, "He who chooses here will get what he deserves," nor that he seems just as happy with the mirror he finds inside that chest as he would have been with Portia's picture. The flamboyance of Johnston's performance reminds us that the darkest aspects of human experience unfold beside ridiculous stupidity.
In his monologue as Shylock's servant Launcelot, John Harrell reminds us that we're all a whirl of conflicting impulses. He's wondering whether he should abandon Shylock: "The fiend is at mine elbow, and tempts me… [to run away]," Launcelot says, and then Harrell jumps to Launcelot's elbow, crouches, and drops his voice to a lower register.
"Good Launcelot Gobbo," he says, "use your legs, take the start…"
Then he jumps to the other side, makes his voice effeminate, and speaks as Launcelot's conscience: "Honest Launcelot Gobbo; do not run; scorn running with thy heels."
The debate continues through several exchanges, while a third character, Launcelot Gobbo, comments on the comments of Conscience and Fiend, first addressing us, and then turning his attention toward the decision he's trying to make. The monologue is only 27 lines long, but Harrell stretches it out over several minutes, playing three distinctly different characters. "I'm a Jew if I stay with the Jew any longer," he finally says.
The questions in that scene are fundamental to the play: should we honor our commitments, even when they harm us? And should Christians continue with Jews or separate from them? Rather than presume to answer those questions, Shakespeare poses them as vividly as possible, in terms that remove us further from whatever answers we brought with us to the theater. He expands them, in other words, rather than reducing them. And the most compelling question-expander in this production is Shylock. James Keegan portrays the famous Jew as a man accustomed to thriving among enemies. We see the exertion required to maintain dignity in the face of routine degradation: here's the way you talk to people who don't like you; here's the way you dress, and how you stand.
His reserve and resolve are broken when his daughter elopes with a Christian — "I never felt [the curse upon our nation] till now," he moans. When his friend Tubal tells him that his daughter has traded one of the family jewels for a pet monkey, he conflates his grief at the loss of one treasure with his grief at the loss of another — all the treasures his tribe has lost through centuries — and he sets his heart upon revenge. At the end of Act IV, he shows us what it's like to choke on the humiliation that you and yours have managed so swallow for hundreds of years. It's a brilliant performance from beginning to end, largely because it wraps the problem of Jewish-Christian coexistence in the problems of love, loyalty, revenge, and degradation, thus making them all the more acute without resolving any of them.
Here's the part that shines the brightest light on the American Shakespeare Center: between the end of Act III, when Shylock hardens his heart, and the beginning of Act IV, when Shylock sets about collecting a pound of Antonio's flesh, the actors provide a musical interlude that culminates with Nerissa (Allison Glenzer) making a special request. "We'd like to ask everyone who feels like learning a special dance routine to join us on stage," she says. It so happens that one of ASC's high school theater camps is in attendance, and their enthusiasm for this invitation excites 25 or 30 other people of all ages and colors to join them and several of the actors on stage. Nerissa explains the foot work and the movement of the circle to the left and to the right, and they do a practice run, and then the music starts. All at once we realize that she has taught them the traditional Jewish dance to Hava Nagila, the traditional Jewish song of celebration and solidarity, and when we look up from the dancers, who include Antonio and Bassanio, to the musicians in the balcony, we see that Shylock and his daughter are leading the song, the lyrics to which are "Let us rejoice and be glad! Awake, brothers! Awake with a happy heart."
It takes a lot of nerve to ask an audience to learn a dance that turns out to be that one right before they watch the Jewish anti-hero try to cut the muscles off the Christian's chest. I don't know of another theater company with nerve enough to do that. Or with grace enough to pull it off.

Updated 06/07/2014
With more than 2.3 million visitors a year, the Alhambra is Spain's most popular attraction. Walking to the Alhambra can be as inspiring as walking around it. If you're up to a long, and rather steep, scenic approach, start in the Plaza Nueva and climb the Cuesta de Gomérez—through the slopes of green elms planted by the Duke of Wellington—to reach the Puerta de las Granadas (Gate of the Pomegranates), a Renaissance gateway built by Carlos V and topped by three pomegranates, symbols of Granada. More easily, simply take one of the minibuses, number 30 or 32, up from the Plaza Nueva. They run every few minutes; pay the fare of €1.20 on board. Just past the gate, take the path branching off to the left to the Puerta de la Justicia (Gate of Justice), one of the Alhambra's entrances. Yusuf I built the gate in 1348; its two arches have carvings depicting a key and a hand. The five fingers of the hand represent the five laws of the Koran. If you're driving, you approach
the Alhambra from the opposite direction. There's a large parking lot. Alternatively, you can park in the underground lot on Calle San Agustín, just north of the cathedral, and take a taxi or the minibus from Plaza Nueva. The complex has three main parts: the Alcazaba, the Palacios Nazaríes (Nasrid Palaces), and the Generalife, the ancient summer palace.
Construction of the Alhambra was begun in 1238 by Ibn el-Ahmar, the first king of the Nasrids. The great citadel once comprised a complex of houses, schools, baths, barracks, and gardens surrounded by defense towers and seemingly impregnable walls. Today, only the Alcazaba and the Palacios Nazaríes, built chiefly by Yusuf I (1334–54) and his son Mohammed V (1354–91), remain. The palace is an endless, intricate conglomeration of patios, arches, and cupolas made from wood, plaster, and tile; lavishly colored and adorned with marquetry and ceramics in geometric patterns and topped by delicate, frothy profusions of lacelike stucco and mocárabes (ornamental stalactites). Built of perishable materials, it was never intended to last but to be forever replenished and replaced by succeeding generations. By the early 17th century, ruin and decay had set in, and the Alhambra was abandoned by all but tramps and stray dogs. Napoléon's troops commandeered it in 1812, but their attempts to destroy it were, happily, foiled. In 1814, the Alhambra's fortunes rose with the arrival of the Duke of Wellington, who came here to escape the pressures of the Peninsular War. Soon afterward, in 1829, Washington Irving arrived to live on the premises and helped revive interest in the crumbling palace, in part through his 1832 book Tales of the Alhambra. In 1862, Granada finally launched a complete restoration program that has been carried on ever since.
Across from the main entrance is the original fortress, the Alcazaba. Its ruins are dominated by the Torre de la Vela (Watchtower); from its summit you can see, to the north, the Albayzín; to the northeast, the Sacromonte; and to the west, the cathedral. The tower's great bell was once used, by both the Moors and the Christians, to announce the opening and closing of the irrigation system on Granada's great plain.
A wisteria-covered walkway leads to the heart of the Alhambra, the Palacios Nazaríes, sometimes also called the Casa Real (Royal Palace). Here, delicate apartments, lazy fountains, and tranquil pools contrast vividly with the hulking fortifications outside, and the interior walls are decorated with elaborately carved inscriptions from the Koran. The Palacios Nazaríes are divided into three sections. The first is the mexuar, where business, government, and palace administration were headquartered. These chambers include the Oratorio (Oratory) and the Cuarto Dorado (Golden Room); gaze down over the Albayzín and Sacromonte from their windows. The second section is the serrallo, a series of state rooms where the sultans held court and entertained their ambassadors. In the heart of the serrallo is the Patio de los Arrayanes (Court of the Myrtles), with a long goldfish pool. At its northern end, in the Salón de Embajadores (Hall of the Ambassadors)—which has a magnificent cedar door—King Boabdil signed the terms of surrender and Queen Isabella received Christopher Columbus.
The third and final section of the Palacios Nazaríes is the harem, which in its time was entered only by the sultan, his wives and the rest of his family, and their most trusted servants, most of them eunuchs. To reach it, pass through the Sala de los Mocárabes (Hall of the Ornamental Stalactites); note the splendid, though damaged, ceiling, and the elaborate stalactite-style stonework in the arches above. The Patio de los Leones (Court of the Lions) is the heart of the harem. From the fountain in the center, 12 lions, thought to represent the months or signs of the zodiac, leer out at you. Four streams flow symbolically to the four corners of the cosmos and more literally to the surrounding state apartments. The lions and fountain were restored in 2012, and the Court paved with white marble as it would originally have been.
The Sala de los Abencerrajes (Hall of the Moors), on the south side of the palace, may be the Alhambra's most beautiful gallery, with its fabulous, ornate ceiling and a star-shaped cupola reflected in the pool below. Here Boabdil's father is alleged to have massacred 16 members of the Abencerrajes family—whose chief was the lover of his favorite daughter, Zoraya—and piled their bloodstained heads in this font. The Sala de los Reyes (Hall of the Kings) lies on the patio's east side, decorated with ceiling frescoes thought to be the work of a visiting Christian Spaniard and painted during the last days of the Moors' tenure. To the north, the Sala de las Dos Hermanas (Hall of the Two Sisters) was Zoraya's abode. Its stuccoed ceiling is done in an intricate honeycomb pattern. Note the symmetrically placed patterned pomegranates on the walls.
The Baños Reales (Royal Baths), the Alhambra's semi-subterranean bathhouse, is where the sultans' favorites luxuriated in brightly tiled pools beneath star-shaped pinpoints of light from the ceiling above. The baths are rarely open to visitors for conservation reasons, but you can glimpse their finery from the entrance.
The Renaissance Palacio de Carlos V (Palace of Carlos V), with a perfectly square exterior but a circular interior courtyard, is where the sultans' private apartments once stood. Designed by Pedro Machuca—a pupil of Michelangelo—and begun in 1526, the palace once was the site of bullfights and mock tournaments. Today its acoustics are perfect for the summer symphony concerts held during Granada's International Festival of Music and Dance.
Part of the building houses the Museo de la Alhambra (Museum of the Alhambra), devoted to Islamic art. Upstairs is the more modest Museo de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Museum). You can visit the Palace of Carlos V and the museums independently of the Alhambra.
Over on the Cerro del Sol (Hill of the Sun) is the Generalife, ancient summer palace of the Nasrid kings. Its name comes from the Arabic gennat alarif (garden of the architect), and its terraces and promenades grant incomparable views of the city that stretch to the distant lowlands. During the summer's International Festival of Music and Dance, stately cypresses serve as the backdrop for evening ballets in the Generalife amphitheater. Between the Alhambra and Generalife is the 16th-century convent of San Francisco, one of Spain's most luxurious paradors.
Don't forget to visit the "Space of the Month"—each month one of the parts usually closed to visitors is open.
Allow a good half day for your visit, a whole day if you have time.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Well, I got further along. I think the best way to go is with mozilla. I've
been playing around with "Kiosk Project" at http://kiosk.mozdev.org
I've installed slackware and am using blackbox as a window manager. I've got
the box to bootup into X with mozilla/blackbox and no login. Quitting
mozilla restarts X with mozilla/blackbox. I'd really love to add tabbed
browsing, so I'm working on that.
I've been fishing around the mozilla source hunting for the default chrome
files. As I think it would be easiest to just hack those rather then the
kiosk ones. The kiosk project interface is rather limited and downright
ugly. Mainly, I want to get rid of the preferences, print, about, message,
composer, download, etc options. So I think it's easiest to work backwards
rather then forwards.
On quit I thought it best to strip the history, cookies and cache and put a
sign on the terminal to let people know they can do that when they're done to
protect their privacy.
Any thoughts?

St. Louis Fire Department Simulation Center
training began in February 2014.
The Lifesaving Foundation has taken on its biggest challenge to date: a $500K Simulation Center for the St. Louis Fire Department. The Sim Center will be the best of its class for hands-on emergency medical training, carried out in a highly controlled and realistic environment. State of the art technology will be employed to create dynamic and challenging scenes and situations. Computers will generate patient assessment data and life-like mannequins will respond with appropriate changes in vital signs, EKG tracings, respirations, palpable pulses, patient audibles and other signs and symptoms as immediate "feedback" to the advanced life support treatments delivered by the trainees.
While City first responders will get first priority in scheduling training sessions, the initiative will also have a far reaching effect as a real time training tool for other First Responders in the St. Louis metro region. Jump on board this exciting project for the St. Louis Metro region.
Donate today and be a part of our December 2014 celebration as we roll-out Phase 2!

QOTD - Quote of the Day
The Quote of the Day became a regular feature here on February 17, 2005. It was the idea I was tinkering with that I alluded to in that entry. I don't always agree with Quote of the Day. In fact, quite often, I do not. It is also quite often out of context but it is linked so that the readers can go read it for themselves. Context is important to me but I find some statements so particularly outrageous that I can't imagine a context that would justify it. That's why I always try to link because I might have simply missed it. Sometimes, I run across them days or weeks before they're posted but they're mostly stumbled across the same day they're posted. They can be from just about anywhere and I post them because I find them funny, profound, outrageous, timely, or relevant to what I'm thinking that day. Or not.
