The largest mosque in Africa & Red Light Green Light: A two week recap.Rabat, Spring 2012
It's hard to sum up 2 whole weeks in one post when I feel like I could write a post about each day, but with so many experiences to be had and the leftover time being used for Arabic homework and sleep (…mostly sleep), it's hard to keep up with documenting all the memories!
About two weeks ago, a handful of people in the program decided to set up an "American Day" at a local orphanage in Kenitra. We played name games and red light green light, made chalk murals, and tossed footballs. Dar l'Kebira, the orphanage, treated us to a delicious couscous lunch and we made the kids dirt pudding cups (chocolate pudding, oreo crumbles and gummy worms) for dessert. Hours were spent getting to know the kids and having an absolute blast outside, teaching them games from our playground days and enjoying their company. I was 100% wiped after chasing 20 kids around for hours but you couldn't have wiped the smile off my face if you tried. The center housed both underprivileged children (with and without parents), as well as homeless adults, working to be able to reintegrate themselves back into society. They had a full house and a large task at hand but I was amazed by all of the wonderful staff and inhabitants there, making a beautiful home together for those who didn't have anything else. It was an incredible experience and I'm so glad I went.
Following that weekend, myself and a few friends took a trip to the famous Casablanca. With only a few hours to explore, we spent our time gazing in awe at the Hassan II Mosque along the water – the largest mosque in Morocco and following that, a trip to the famous Rick's Cafe from the movie "Casablanca". Though it was a short trip, it was absolutely worth it as the mosque was one of the most beautiful structures I've ever seen in my life. Half of it is built on the water, based on a line in the Qur'an saying: "the throne of Allah was built on water." We spent two peaceful hours just chatting, listening to the waves crash and enjoying the splendor of the mosque in front of us. A spendy but delicious lunch at Rick's Cafe gave a nice close to the evening and we raced back to the train station to catch the next ride to Rabat, all of us making it onto the train right as it was pulling away… except me. I got to watch my friends roll away on the tracks and hang out at the train station for an extra hour but I guess some extra time watching the sunset in a new city is definitely not the worst I could do.
The weeks have been flying and have been filled with class, family fun, friends and medina adventures. More in-depth updates on everything soon!

In July 2009, Roy and Sheila Bowers refinanced the mortgage on their suburban ranch home in Topeka, Kansas. The couple wanted to take advantage of the low interest rates that were all the rage at the time. Roy, a truck driver, and Sheila, a former hotel housekeeping supervisor, knew their new loan from Wells Fargo would enable them to save $198.86 a month, a nice chunk to help with gas and groceries.
But what the Bowers never imagined was that their old loan, the one Wells Fargo told them was paid off, would resurrect itself, trashing their credit report, scotching their son's student loans and throwing the whole family into foreclosure. All, they say, even though they didn't miss a single mortgage payment.
Related: Banks and Justice Officials: How Connected?
The Bowers are not alone. More homeowners are saying that mortgages they thought were dead and buried are springing back to life, sometimes haunting them all the way into foreclosure. "It's the most egregious manifestation of an industry that's seriously broken," said Ira Rheingold, a lawyer who is executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates.
Diane Thompson, an attorney with the National Consumer Law Center, says she's defended hundreds of foreclosure cases, and in nearly all of them, the homeowner was not in default. "The problems grew from a lot of sloppy recordkeeping that began during the housing boom, when Wall Street built a quick-and-dirty back-office operation to process mortgages quickly so lenders could sell as many loans as possible. As the loans were later sold to investors, and then resold around the world, the back office system sidestepped crucial legal procedures.
Banks hired hair stylists, fast-food kids and Wal-Mart floor workers, to pose as bank vice presidents, assistant secretaries and corporate attorneys.
Now it's becoming clear just how dysfunctional and, according to several state attorneys general, how fraudulent the whole system was. Depositions from "affidavit slaves" depict a surreal, assembly-line world in which the banks and their partner firms hired hair stylists, fast-food kids and Wal-Mart floor workers, paying them $10 an hour to pose as bank vice presidents, assistant secretaries and corporate attorneys.
These "robo-signers" became a national sensation in the fall of 2010 when it was revealed that they faked titles, forged documents and backdated affidavits so they could make up for the bypassed procedures and foreclose on properties. They passed around notary stamps as if they were salt. They did all of this, they testified, without verifying a single word in any of the documents, as is required by law. And it was all done, they say, to foreclose on as many homeowners as fast as possible.
No one collects statistics on wrongful foreclosures, or how many people are facing the phantom mortgage debts. But as the industry enters its fifth year of unwinding its mortgage morass, consumer groups, homeowner attorneys and foreclosure-fraud investigators say they are seeing more cases where people who don't owe the banks a dime are getting ensnared in the same hell as those who have missed payments. They add that such problems are likely to intensify. Former industry employees have testified that they knowingly pushed through foreclosures on the wrong people.
It all casts a pall over a housing market in worse condition than it was during the Great Depression. By some estimates, 12.5 percent of U.S. homes with mortgages are either in foreclosure or the loans are at least 30 days past due – about $1 trillion in value. "This is an epic problem the economy hasn't even begun to digest," said Florida foreclosure analyst Lisa Epstein.
In some cases, mortgages that were supposed to die off in a refinancing are popping back up, while in others, the loans were paid in full. Homeowners who pay off their houses through bankruptcy programs are also falling prey. So are homeowners who never had a mortgage to begin with.
omeowners say the banks' repo men sometimes show up at work. Banks also hector them with threatening letters and phone calls. "It scared the hell out of him," said a Houston lawyer whose client was targeted. "He was absolutely spooked," lawyer Barry Brown said.
Sued for Foreclosure on a House She Didn't Own
So was Shantell Curtis of Utah. She showed up at her accountant's office last year only to learn that she had been sued for foreclosure on a house she had sold years before. Bank of America reported the delinquency to credit bureaus, tarring Curtis's credit. It turned out the entire saga stemmed from a bank coding error. The amount the bank falsely alleged Curtis still owed on her mortgage? One dollar.
Vietnam vet Dwight Gaines fell behind on his payments on his Birmingham, Alabama, home. Gaines paid off his entire mortgage, plus all the fees and expenses he owed the bank in March 2010, as a part of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan. But Bank of America kept sending Gaines notices that he still owed $6,842.37. Nearly two years later, Gaines is still fighting in court. "In my experience, if I had not sued Bank of America, they would have placed Mr. Gaines in foreclosure although he had completely paid his mortgage," said Gaines' lawyer, Wesley Phillips.

Edward Anderson had a strange and sad career. He was born in Texas in 1905 and grew up in Oklahoma, serving his apprenticeship as a journalist on a small paper in Ardmore, Okla. Restless, he worked as a deckhand on a freighter, plied his fists as a prizefighter, had some small success as a musician and, when the Great Depression of the 1930s hit, roamed the roads and rails, learning the life of the hobo. This crucial experience led to fiction, and to his first novel, "Hungry Men" (University of Oklahoma Press, currently out of print, but with plenty of copies available on Amazon), which in 1933 caused the Saturday Review of Literature to pronounce him the heir to Hemingway and Faulkner.
A famous second novel, "Thieves Like Us" (published by Prior, Disruptive Press and in the Library of America anthology "Crime Novels: American Noir of the 1930s and 1940s"), followed in 1937, and Anderson came out to Hollywood. The screenwriting didn't work out, so he took a job at the Los Angeles Examiner, from which he was fired -- for anti-Semitism, according to one story -- in 1940. He drifted back to Texas, to alcoholism, to Swedenborgianism, and to the loopier fringes of the political right. He wrote a column for a local paper and died in 1969 in almost total obscurity. He was 63.
None of this is especially shocking, and it's certainly not edifying, but the two novels remain. Both of them are terrific, in their very different ways, and speak with a particular resonance at a time when the U.S. economy looks like it's falling apart. "Hungry Men" follows the travels of Acel Stecker, an out-of-work musician who drifts back and forth across America.
"How long have I been running around the country now?" he asks himself. "Two years. Damn near two years. It has been two years since I played in that Juarez cabaret. Godamighty. Two years I been on the bum. It would have scared me to death then if somebody had said: 'You won't even have a job two years from now.' I didn't have any guts then, though."
"Hungry Men" is written in the third person; but Anderson had instinctive gifts as a novelist, and the book takes us in and out of Acel's mind without any seeming effort. Acel's feelings have been beaten out of him, and his encounters in flop-houses, in freight cars, in court rooms, in a store trying to bum something to eat, are presented without inflection, combining the intimate with the deadpan to map out what Geoffrey O'Brien, writing in the Village Voice in 1983, called "the desolate geography of the book." O'Brien wrote that the book recalled "Beckett as much as it does Walker Evans."
The structure follows Acel's adventures, so the book is shaped almost as a series of disjointed short stories but held together by tone and perception. Anderson, himself no radical, constantly glances in the direction of politics.
" 'I'm getting fed up on this kind of life,' Bill said.
Acel nodded. 'It's pretty tough all right.'
'I'd rob a bank if I thought I could get away with it.' "
"Thieves Like Us" takes up this theme and centers on three escaped convicts who, in their desperation, have forgotten how to be afraid and do nothing else but rob banks. At first they enjoy success. They buy better clothes, more guns, faster cars and read about their escapades in the papers. The central character, Bowie, who killed a guy when he was 16, falls in love with Keechie, a young girl who's the cousin of one of his partners, establishing a narrative model -- love on the run -- that Hollywood followed countless times thereafter, notably in "Bonnie and Clyde," "Natural Born Killers" and in two film versions of "Thieves Like Us" (made by Nicholas Ray and Robert Altman). Anderson's second novel crackles with tension and has a very different mood from "Hungry Men" because the reader understands from the start that these characters are doomed. Hence their romance. The book lives best, not in its sometimes hard-boiled idiom, but in the moments between the action, when the characters are driving around Texas and Oklahoma, or holed up in a safe house or hotel:
"The green-shaded lamp in the kitchen of the Welcome Inn was burning, their signal that there had been no rumbles when he was gone, and now he closed the door quietly and the leaves on the walk crackled under his moving shoes. He lifted on the knob so the door would not scrape and went in. Pale coals studded the mound of dark ashes in the fireplace and then he saw Keechie sitting on the end of the cot by the shadowy radio."
There's a sense of tenderness and tentativeness toward life that corresponds to the constant anxiety that hovers somewhere right at the back of Bowie's mind. This poetic, almost haunted quality summons the memory of James Agee as much as Dashiell Hammett, and can carry through even into the action writing. Here's Anderson describing a car accident, a fulcrum moment that leads to the killing of two cops:
"Thrown from the sprung door of his car, Bowie rose from the parquet grass, feeling like a figure in a slow motion picture. He was on his feet now, a terrific weight on his back. Yonder was his car, the radiator caved in against a broken lamp-post and behind it was an old coupe, somebody inside of it groaning, its one lamp still burning."
"Thieves Like Us" snaps shut like a trap on its characters, and I'd bet that Nicholas Ray, having filmed it, kept it in mind when he made his more famous picture of youthful disillusion and defiance, "Rebel Without a Cause." Anderson himself never moved on anywhere, artistically, which is our loss because he made fiction that combined fluency of style with potency of form. But he did leave behind these two books, stories from the Depression, yet timeless, testaments to young people roaming the country, hungry and without prospects, sleeping rough or turning to crime. He's a writer who deserves to be rediscovered.
"The Book of Chameleons" by Jose Eduardo Agualusa (Scribner)
This novel is narrated by a gecko, that's to say by a lizard, who also happens to be the reincarnated spirit of Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. Well: Some writers like to play for high stakes. From this conceit Agualusa weaves a gorgeous and intricate story about a man who trades in memories, selling people pasts to help reinvent their futures. Set in Angola, the tale darts to and fro with the swiftness of a step over by soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo. There's a murder mystery here, and not only a meditation on the nature of memory. Agualusa's deftness and lightness of touch means we buy into the strange setup with scarcely a blink. He's a young master.
"Phantasmagoria" by Marina Warner (Oxford University Press)
Warner, a richly entertaining novelist and cultural historian, studies our obsession with the way things live on, our fascination with the idea that the dead may still be among us. The Victorians sought to apply scientific rigor to the investigation of the spiritual, leading to a field day for frauds and hysterics. But Warner argues that the liminal areas between life and death, between reality and illusion, have been human stock-in-trade pretty much since the beginning of time, and she explores the significance of souls, ectoplasm, replicants and doppelgängers in imaginative creators from Dante to Philip K. Dick and those who today invent role-playing computer games. The book is dense, and not always easy, but suggestive and inspiring.

An unexpected expense can pop up which results in the need for extra money. In this way, the borrower will still be able to keep his car and freely use it. Loans offered at such short time intervals do not require credit rate checking.
Proceed with caution. texas auto title loan aren't your only option. Studies show that vehicles are repossessed 4 to 8 percent of the time. Whether you are applying for a payday loan or TX auto title loan, you always have to do a bit of research and make sure you can repay all your debts. As the repayment period is very short, the interest rate charged on this loan is very high.
However, the paperwork required by a bank is often intimidating for people who don't necessarily have a lot of time. You could have the cash in hand with in 24-48 hours. You can get a loan application form online and once you have handed in all the documents it will take two days at the longest for your loan to be processed.
Some lender can charge even 100% interest rate and you get more or less thirty days for repaying. This is not always the case and some types of loans can give you money very fast without any type of credit check. Some Texas lending company will take hold of your car and keep it until you are able to repay the loan if there is no insurance.
However, you currently know that contacting law enforcement would be the default action that you turn to in the event that this is a situation which comes into your life at any point. These are just 4 simple requirements which can be processed at ease. These loans are offered in both secured as well as unsecured way.

I am currently installing all new wood floors in my new house. I bought the gun from home depot for $450. Prefinished wood floors are a lot easier to put in than I thought. If anyone has any installation questions just ask I will be happy to help!
that's an awesome setup. wonder if it comes in black?
I'd definitely paint it, but this would be great for my dorm room!
Excellent goods from you, man. I've understand your stuff previous to and you are just extremely fantastic.

Parisian studio Untitled impress with some quietly confident graphic work
Coming up with a name for anything can be a real trial, and something that seems confidently gamechanging one day can sound trite, ugly and ridiculous the next. Kudos then to Hadrien Lopez and Philippe Ortion whose Parisian design studio is called simply Untitled, following in the footsteps of many an indecisive/enigmatic artist.
But though they seem a little enigmatic (my natural reaction to our tres cool cross-Channel cousins) there's certainly nothing indecisive about their quietly effective branding, graphics and typography. Able to turn their hands to diverse briefs without sacrificing the consistent high quality, Untitled may not be flashy but they are seriously good. Pick of the new updates for me is this invitation for the Rtex spring collection – a series of tricky visual puzzles with a clean, simple aesthetic – but it's also interesting to see some of the fun they've been having with new fonts.
Untitled they may be, uninteresting they certainly are not.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's golf team put together an impressive 18-hole showing as they stood in a tie for second place after round one, but the Lions slipped a bit in the second round as they dropped to fourth in the 13-team field.
The Lions' two-round 310-321—631 was led by senior Anna Riss, who is currently tied for fourth with a 36-hole 76-77—153.
Sophomore Goeun Lee was a surprise in the lineup as she currently sits in second on the team and 13th overall with a two-round 74-83—157. Lee was actually in second-place after the first 18 holes, but slipped in the second trip around the course.
Junior Suzanna Ervin is just two strokes behind Lee with a 77-82—159 and Jordan Hatch carded an 83-79—162.
The Lions' lineup was rounded out by Kristina Carvalho, whose 87-85—172 puts her in 41st heading into the final round.
Saint Leo trails national power Nova Southeastern as they managed a first-day 306-298—604. Rollins (311-304—615) and host Florida Southern (310-311—621) sit between the Lions and the top-spot heading into Tuesday's final round.
The Lions will tee-off the final round of the tournament early Tuesday morning at the Eaglebrook Golf Club in Lakeland.

- Call the UTSA Police Department at 210-458-4242 at any time to request an on-campus escort to your car or a bus stop.
- In an emergency, call the UTSA Police Department at 210-458-4911. It is recommended to program this number into your cell phone. (From an on-campus phone, simply call 4911.)
- There are more than 60 emergency phones around the UTSA campuses. By pushing the red button, UTSAPD is contacted directly. Additionally, every UTSA elevator has an emergency phone connected directly to UTSAPD.
- UTSA Counseling Services, part of the Division of Student Affairs, offers a variety of services to UTSA students. All services are confidential and available at any time during the workday. Additionally, in an after-hours emergency, an on-call clinician can be contacted. For more information, call 210-458-4140 or visit the UTSA Counseling Services website.
- Safety whistles are available at the UTSA Police Department in the Physical Plant Building (Main Campus), Buena Vista Street Building Room 1.303 (Downtown Campus) and the Crime Prevention offices at University Oaks and Chaparral Village residence facilities.

UTSA Campus Alerts website
- Last summer, UTSA launched the Campus Alerts website to keep students, faculty, staff and the general public informed on the status of the university during emergency situations.
- Managed by the UTSA Office of Business Continuity and Emergency Management and the Office of Communications, the site is a single source for information on UTSA closures prompted by inclement weather, health and other emergencies, and construction and maintenance work.
- The goal of the one-stop site is to help reduce confusion by eliminating duplicate messages on various UTSA websites.
- Read more on UTSA Today.
Safety and security tips
- Although assaults are rare on a college campus, it is important to be alert to any suspicious activity. Keep safety in mind by being aware of your surroundings and walking with a friend.
- Be sure to lock doors and windows before you leave your home.
- If you go out for the evening, turn on lights and a radio or television, so the house, apartment or room appears to be occupied.
- For more resources on personal safety, alcohol information and holiday safety, select the "Safety Brochures" link in the ride sidebar on the UTSA Police Department website.

A GENE active in humans today died out during our primate evolution and then came back to life again. This is first time such a resurrected gene has been seen.
The IRGM gene protects us from several diseases, including TB. When Cemalettin Bekpen, at the University of Washington in Seattle, traced the gene back through our primate ancestry, he got a surprise. While mouse lemurs (pictured) have a functional copy of IRGM, Bekpen found that the macaque version is useless. But chimps and gorillas, like us, have a functional gene.
So the gene must have been extinguished after apes and monkeys separated from the other primates. Bekpen found that a "jumping gene" called Alu disrupted the sequence of IRGM and essentially killed it off.
Then another genetic marauder moved in after macaques branched off. ERV9 is an endogenous retrovirus, a long-term resident of the human genome. It ...

'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' trailer to premiere at MTV Movie AwardsAdd to Favorites | 2014 MTV Movie Awards
Considering the history "The Hunger Games" franchise has with the MTV Movie Awards, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to learn that Lionsgate has teamed up with MTV to premiere the first teaser trailer for "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" at the upcoming awards show. Thus far only a handful of stills and an array of Victory Tour posters have been released from the new movie.
It remains to be seen how much is actually revealed in the "Catching Fire" teaser trailer. When MTV did the same sort of premiere for "The Hunger Games" in 2011, all the teaser was showed was Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen in the Arena while Liam Hemsworth's Gale gave her advice in a narration. A teaser to be sure, but not a big taste of what was in store in the movie.
"The Hunger Games" won big at the MTV Movie Awards in 2012. The film home Best Female Performance, Best Fight, Best Male Performance and Best On-Screen Transformation. It was also nominated for Best Cast, Best Hero, Best Kiss, Breakthrough Performance and Best Movie.
Directed by Francis Lawrence, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" stars Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Stanley Tucci, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Woody Harrelson, Alan Ritchson, Elizabeth Banks, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones, Amanda Plummer, Jeffrey Wright and Willow Shields. It's due in theaters on Nov. 22. The MTV Movie Awards air on April 14.

'Crazy Hearts' Jeff Bridges, T-Bone Burnett Re-Team For August Album/
Crazy Heart star -- and ever-abidin' Dude -- Jeff Bridges will again burnish his newfound alt-country music cred with the release of a new solo album set for August 23 via Blue Note/EMI. The new project is being produced by T-Bone Burnett, the man behind the Crazy Heart film soundtrack as well as many recent high-profile albums including Raising Sand from Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, the 2010 Elton John/Leon Russell collaboration and the latest works from Gregg Allman and John Mellencamp.
The Bridges album, as yet untitled, will also feature songwriters and band members involved with the Crazy Heart soundtrack. Bridges recently hinted that he'd like to have Elton John perform on the new project -- the two performed together at an L.A. Crazy Heart party -- but any notable guests or final tracks for Bridges' album have not been confirmed.

Blaine Gabbert Preseason Game 3 In-Depth Breakdown
Third Drive
– 12 Personnel (3×1), Wing motions across formation pre-snap to create (2×2) distribution
– Bills in Cover 1 pre-snap. LCB lined up in press-man, RCB lined up in off-man. Safeties at staggered depth and reciprocate their depth/responsibility when Wing motions.
– TE and Z receiver both run quick outs synced up with 3-step drop. Gabbert identifies the Z is running a quick out against off-man coverage. Should be an easy completion for short gain, because Z receiver drops pass.
– 3rd and 9
– 11 personnel, (2×2), Shotgun
– Bills in Cover 3 pre-snap. LCB playing off and facing QB. Nickel lined up w/inside leverage on slot WR. RCB playing 5 yards off. Safeties at staggered depth.
– Rollout w/waggle protection. Gabbert doesn't like what he sees and scrambles upfield for a 7 yard gain. I can't see the routes, but it's good that he's not forcing a throw for the sake of it when backed up against his own goal line.
Fourth Drive
– 21 personnel, Pro set
– Bills with 2 deep safeties and man coverage underneath. LCB playing press-man, RCB playing off-man.
– PA pass, Z runs a streak, X runs skinny post. FB breaks left off on playaction, RB settles up just past line of scrimmage. Bad play against Cover 2 Man.
– Throws the streak into double coverage. Can't see entirety of the route, but Z gets past the coverage. Ball is overthrown due to overstriding before release.
Here are a couple more pictures showcasing the overstride on his deep throw to Shorts. His weight is unevenly distributed because his extended base. Note how his hips are rolled up and how far back his shoulders are tilted. The second photo shows how the overstride affects the release – the ball is released behind the QBs head instead of near his ear, leading to too much arc and an overthrown ball.
– 3rd and 9
– 11 personnel, (3×1), Shotgun
– Bills in Cover 1 pre-snap. LCB and Nickel lined up in press-man. RCB lined up in off-man. Safeties at staggered depth.
– 5 step drop from shotgun. At first, does a good job of "crushing pebbles" (keeping the feet moving while scanning for a target) after the drop is completed. Feels slight pressure coming off blindside edge. Instead of stepping up into the pocket, he flushes laterally into the direction of pressure. Before reaching the sideline, he attempts a throw across his body that is intercepted.
This is what the pocket looked like at the breakdown point. There's a threat off the edge, but he has room to step up while keeping his eyes downfield. Instead, he drops his head to look at the rush and bails laterally – making pursuit for the defenders much easier. If he feels pressure and the need to run, he needs to escape through the "front door" of the defense and get upfield – similar to what he did at the end of the third drive. It may not result in a first down, but it's a much safer play – especially when you're on your own 20 yard line.
This play is awfully familiar to the pick-six he threw to lose his final bowl game against Iowa, video of which you can find here.

Fight Song and Alma Mater
"U of Toledo" was written in 1932 by Dave Connelly, UT athletic director and baseball coach through much of the 1930s and 1940s. Connelly also coached football, track and boxing. He joined the UT staff as a professor in 1926, where he remained until his death in 1955. Connelly loved to sing, but had never studied music. Apparently, previous fight songs were no longer in use, so he wrote the words for "U of Toledo" and sang the melody to a family friend, Bernie Jones. Jones played it on the piano and put it to music. The tune remained largely unchanged until 1975, when UT associate professor of music David Jex arranged the current version.
U of Toledo, we'll fight for you
(Fight! Fight! Fight!)
U of Toledo, we love the Gold and Blue
(Let's go Blue!)
Men of the Varsity, the enemy must yield,
We'll fight just like our ancestors
and march right down the field!
T-O-L-E-D-O, Toledo!
"Fair Toledo" was selected from eight entries which were submitted in the UT Alma Mater Song Contest, sponsored jointly by the Student Senate and the Alumni Association in 1959. The competition was held to replace "Golden and Blue," set to "Amici," a tune used by various universities.
While driving to work, Gilbert Mohr heard Jim Uebelhart announce the contest on the radio in January of that year. An amateur songwriter, Mohr began humming different tunes, and later with his wife, Jean Strout, wrote the lyrics. Their alma mater entry won the contest and the couple received a $100 government bond. "Fair Toledo" debuted at halftime of the Marshall-Toledo basketball game on March 2, 1959.
In tower shadows voices now raising,
To alma mater Golden and Blue,
Fair Toledo praise to thee,
Portal of learning ever be,
Hallowed halls we shall revere,
Vow to keep thy memory dear.

Cleveland Indians (24-28) at Chicago White Sox (26-27), 8:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Cleveland - Justin Masterson (2-3, 5.32) Chicago - Chris Sale (4-0, 1.89)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Chris Sale showed no rust in a return from his first ever trip to the disabled list.
The talented left-hander should be less restricted on Tuesday night when the Chicago White Sox resume a three-game series with the visiting Cleveland Indians.
A flexor muscle strain in his pitching arm sent Sale to the disabled list in late April, but he returned in top form last Thursday against the New York Yankees. He retired the first 17 batters and struck out 10 of the 19 hitters he faced in a 3-2 win, yielding just one hit and walking none over six scoreless innings.
Sale threw 54 of his 86 pitches for strikes and was perfect before giving up a single with two outs in the sixth.
"I knew I was out after the sixth," he said of his pitch count. "I just tried to be efficient -- first-pitch strikes and things like that."
The 25-year-old should be allowed to go deeper tonight and brings a 4-0 mark and 1.89 earned run average on the season into the outing. That includes a win over Cleveland on April 11 in the shortest of his five starts this year as he allowed three runs over five innings.
In 19 career meetings with the Tribe, including eight starts, Sale is 3-4 with three saves and a 4.76 ERA.
Justin Masterson gets the call for the Indians on regular rest after having his last start bumped up a day. He faced off against Baltimore on Thursday on three days' rest after scheduled starter Josh Tomlin was used in relief the previous night in extra innings.
Masterson got off to a fast start versus the Orioles, taking a shutout in into the sixth inning before giving up five two-out runs in the frame and getting lifted. However, he ended up with a no-decision as Cleveland notched an 8-7 victory.
The 29-year-old righty has given up 17 runs and gone 0-2 over a current three- start winless streak, however, and is 2-3 on the year with a 5.32 ERA.
Masterson was tagged for six runs -- five earned -- on seven hits and five walks in a no-decision at Chicago on April 12, but then hurled 7 1/3 scoreless innings versus the club at home on May 3.
The White Sox took advantage of some fielding troubles for the Indians to claim a 6-2 victory in yesterday's opener. Dayan Viciedo belted a three-run homer in the third inning two batters after a two-out error by Cleveland's Lonnie Chisenhall extended the inning.
Conor Gillaspie added a career-high four hits, three of them doubles, while driving in a run and scoring twice to help the White Sox snap a two-game slide.
"It was just one of those days," he said. "A couple of times they threw it right in the spot where I was looking. That's just the way it goes."
Jose Quintana pitched six innings for the win, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts.
Tomlin struck out eight batters, but did not make it out of the sixth inning in the loss. He was charged with five runs, two earned as he was unable to bail out Chisenhall by giving up Viciedo's longball.
"A hanging curveball. I probably tried to do too much with it," said Tomlin. "It stayed up in the zone too long."
Cleveland, which has lost three of four after winning four in a row, saw Nick Swisher exit early with a knee injury, while Carlos Santana was a late scratch due to feeling ill. Both of their statuses for this game are unknown.
Cleveland won 17 of its 19 matchups with the White Sox last season, but Chicago has gone 5-3 in the series this season.

|Son, Jared, Mike and Julie Thibodeau (This photo comes from their Facebook page because Julie was the only one home when we came for the interview. Mike works a day job and Jared is still in school)
It all started with a 4H project! Julie and Mike Thibodeau bought a farm 9 years ago when their 3 kids were relatively young. Their oldest daughter, 14, had projects going with rabbits. Then, she got into cows and with the help of a Rural Youth Loan, she acquired 11 milkers! She was selling raw milk before anybody around there had even thought of it.
Their 12 year old daughter had sheep and alpacas. She sold wool and freezer lambs. At age 12, she was very talented working with wool! Their son, Jared, had a niche business raising poultry for milk and eggs. One year, there were 300 broilers and 50 turkeys raised on pasture!
Now, their oldest daughter (23) has 3 sons, their second daughter (21) has a girl and their youngest son, Jared (17) is still living at home. The alpacas, sheep, poultry and oxen are gone, but Mike, Julie and Jared have a new project going with cows and goats - they are making cheese.
The farm has 53 acres and everywhere we looked, there seemed to be another barn:
|The farm store is attached to their house.
|The building on the right is a portable milking parlor.
|This is the barn for the goats, but they spend most of their time on the pastures.
|Julie took us out to the fields to see the goats
The number of goats fluctuates because, Julie said, she is always selling the kids, but, the day we were there, she had 26 full grown Alpine Nubians and 26 kids. She is currently milking 21. She also has a Holstein cow, a heifer calf and a Jersey bull.
|These kids are 1 1/2 months old.
|These are the 1 1/2 month old bucks.
|The Jersey bull
|Their milker and her heifer
|The heifer decided to go outside.
Rabbit meat is a big seller for the farm. Like everything else, it started as a 4H project, but now it's part of the business.
They are just getting started with their cheese business. They are currently making Feta, Robiola, and several flavors of chevre from their goat's milk. In the winter, they make Robiola with cow's milk. (They're hoping to be able to rotate the birthing times so they can have fresh goat's milk cheese all year round.
They are selling their cheese in restaurants, co-ops and farmer's markets, as well as in their farm store. Julie mentioned that marketing will be easier when they can offer their goat's milk cheeses year round. (When there's a break in the winter, they have to start over contacting all their customers again in the spring.)
Julie and Mike have been working from "dawn til dusk" and there still isn't enough time to do everything they need to do for the cheese business. So, they're currently looking for a part time milker (See classified ads).
|Their Van Riit vat holds 53 gallons, but Julie typically makes cheese with 30 gallons at a time.
|Their Robiola molds (and all their other supplies) come from - where else?- New England Cheesemaking Supply Co.
|This bulk tank came from Bob White Systems in Vermont
The self-help farm store may have goat's milk cream, raw goat's milk, raw cow's milk, rabbit meat, grass fed beef and goat's meat, and various cheeses including Feta and Robiola. (Your best bet is to call first to be sure they have what you need.)

I made my second batch of pecan turtles recently and thought I had corrected the "rock hard" caramel encountered with the first try. They were delicious initially but, after sitting for a few days, the caramel turned sugary. Can the food docs out there tell me what went wrong? Also, can you recommend a good candy thermometer? I have purchased two so far and found both to be very poorly designed and almost impossible to read while caramel is steaming in the pan. Thanks!

The Art Market Explained: Copyright And The Visual Arts
The Art Market Explained: Copyright And The Visual Arts
It is in the best interest of anyone involved in the art market to make sure that artists are properly looked after and treated with the respect that they deserve so that they are able to pursue their career as an artist and continue to produce art. Copyright is one particular area of the visual arts that is often overlooked and not properly understood which means that many artists are being exploited. I have therefore included some key points in relation to copyright that everyone should be aware of.
1. Owning an artwork does not give you ownership of copyright.
2. Copyright stays with the artist unless they have legally signed it over to someone else (or copyright has expired)
3. Permission is required to reproduce an image of an artists work in almost every situation such as on the internet, in magazines, in newspapers, on posters etc.
4. Many artists are members of copyright collection agency's who should be contacted as a first port of call if you would like to reproduce a work (eg. for Australia http://www.viscopy.com)
5. Fees are usually payable to the artist if reproductions of an image of their artwork is used
6. Artists have the right to:
• be attributed as creator of your works;
• take action if your work is falsely attributed; and
• take action if your work is distorted or treated in a way that is prejudicial to your honour or reputation
More info on copyright here: http://www.copyright.org.au/information/basics.htm
Copyright is a very serious issue within the visual arts and is one that everyone involved should take responsibility for. The laws are different in every country so you should contact your local copyright organisation for further information. After all, why should someone else profit from an artists image without the artist receiving some sort of compensation. Artists are not charities and struggle enough as it is so do the art world and art market a favour and be aware of your copyright responsibilities and adhere to the copyright laws.

Hi Nicholas. Interesting that you should post this subject – I was just attempting to research copyrights concerning fine art and then you made your post. Although I am somewhat interested in the other side of copyrighting. I am intrigued to find out exactly what the limits are of "sampling" or "borrowing" from other sources to incorporate into one's own artwork. For example, Andy Warhol made his name with colorful modifications of others' materials – such as photographs taken long before him, or trademarks such as Campbell's Soup or Brillo. He is just one example of an artist that took heaps of other sources and crafted something of his own out of them. What are the limits of borrowing other people's work today?

Good points, Nicholas. The internet is making
it possible for artists to profit from their
own work in ways that were never before
available–but at the same time it makes it
so much easier to violate the artist's rights.
I believe many copyright violations are the
result of ignorance of copyright laws, which
is why I've just published an article about some
of the misconceptions of U.S. copyright law.
It can be read here:

Donate to Scholarships & Special Projects
Thanks, everyone! We reached and surpassed our 2012 fundraising goal for Scholarships & Special Projects!
Running and sustaining our Scholarship Program is one of the most far-reaching and meaningful things we do as an organization! Each year, dozens of individuals and families receive scholarships to attend our camp programs and leadership training courses. Scholarship recipients' presence at camp enriches our experience, and represents our investment in the future of this very special community.
Rising costs = more scholarships
In recent years as camp costs have risen we've redoubled our efforts to make scholarships available to as many campers as possible.
So far in 2012 we have awarded a total of $50,579 in both work and "named" scholarships. At some weeks, we have awarded as much as $9,500 for as many as 14 named and even more work scholarships!
Special Projects
The generosity of many, many campers and friends has sustained CDSS's Scholarships & Special Projects program over the past 25 years and more. As we approach our Centennial in 2015, we're committed to sustaining our ever-growing scholarship program, as well as grants to groups and individuals for musicians, callers, and organizers workshops, regional leadership conferences, mentorships, publications, online resources, youth and intergenerational development, and other special projects.
Even for those not participating at camps this summer, the compelling need for and potential impact of these projects is clear. In order to sustain this work, we need everyone's support!
