Message from Richard J. Tuffs Minneapolis License Inspector 612-673-3911 – Regarding Door to Door Solicitors:
Each year I deal with a number of complaints about door to door solicitors. If anyone comes to your door trying to sell you anything, take orders for future delivery or tries to sell you any type of alarm system, make sure they have a Minneapolis Solicitors License. When you open the door, the first words you should be saying are, let me see you Minneapolis Solicitors License. It they don't have one, send them on their way and call 911. Don't be afraid to call 911. A 911 police call is NOT just for emergencies, it's also any time you want to report illegal or suspicious activity or want a police squad for some other reason. Tell the 911 operator that an unlicensed solicitor is going door to door on your block. After you call them, call me and if I'm not in, leave me a message regarding the address they are currently at and your phone number.
Once someone signs a contract with an unlicensed solicitor, its very difficult to get them out of it and trying to get a hold of someone from the company is extremely frustrating. Help your neighbor, if they come to your door, take appropriate action.
A sample Minneapolis Solicitor License.
As the weather gets warmer, we just want to remind residents and visitors to remove all valuables from your vehicles. This time of year we do see an increase in people watching vehicles and then looking into them to see what's there after the owners leave.
The following are a few key points:
* Even a gym bag can attract attention because they don't know what's inside.
* GPS units have recently seen a rise in theft; record your make, model and serial number and keep it in a safe place.
* Do not remove valuables and place them in the trunk once you arrive at your destination; do this beforehand.
* If your stereo is removable, take it with you.
* Even items like designer sunglasses, change visible from an open ashtray, or any other small valuable items could draw attention.
* Call 911 on suspicious activity. If you see someone loitering near vehicles, they could be waiting and watching for their next victim.
See Auto Theft Prevention Tips for more prevention tips for theft from motor vehicles.
Remember please:
1. Please pass this information on to your neighbors if they do not receive these emails (copy emails and paste them into a new message rather than forwarding them). Tell your neighbors how to sign up for these alerts – visit http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/police/crimealert/signup.asp.
2. Please let your block club members know about these events.
3. Be aware of your surroundings. Call 911 on any suspicious activity, persons, or vehicles.

Approximately 125 neighborhood residents and 25 children, various elected officials, and neighborhood staff.
Meeting called to order:
David Brauer, President, called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m., welcomed the community, gave a brief overview of KFNA and it's committees and highlighted activities of the year. He introduced Board Member and NRP Steering Committee Member Arthur Knowles, who gave an overview of the requested NRP Plan Modifications that had been published in the spring KFNA News and were printed with the agenda at the meeting. He answered questions pertaining to the plan mods and the organizational budget. It was then moved that the group approve the plan mods, which was does so by voice vote by a majority of members present. Next Chris Sur, another board member presented the requested by-law changes and after questions were answered, these were also approved by voice vote.

The trial for Donald Eugene Jackson, accused of the 2nd Degree murder of Mark Loesch, is set for 5/6/08. KFNA is still requesting Community Impact Statements for this trial and for that of his fellow accused, Jamaal Bernard Rays who will go to trial on 7/7/08. Please try to get statements in at least five days before the trial begins. Duplicate Community Impact Statements can be submitted for both these persons. It is appropriate to submit a general statement about how the actions of each individual and the type of crime have impacted the livability in your community. Community Impact Statement forms can be found at www.kingfield.org under the crime and safety link.
Community Impact Statements (CIS) are presented to the court by prosecutors from the Minneapolis City Attorney's Office to show the negative impact a specific offender or a specific crime has, not only on the victims of the crime, but also on the community in which the crime took place. Anyone in the community can write a community impact statement; you do not have to be the direct victim of a crime or have personally witnessed the criminal activity in order to submit a CIS. Community Impact Statements are extremely important as they demonstrate to the judge how a crime has impacted you/the community, and may influence the judge's sentence. More information about Community Impact Statements can be found at: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/attorney/impact-statements-faq.asp.
If you have comments on the type of information, the transmission of this information, or other comments related to this process please contact Sarah Linnes-Robinson, KFNA Executive Director, firstname.lastname@example.com or 612.823.5980.
On April 26th, the South Minneapolis YMCAs are hosting our 2nd annual GoFish Cocktail Party and Benefit Auction at Stella's Fish Cafe in Uptown. We hope that you will join us for this fun event for a great cause! The money raised at the event supports the Y Partners campaign to provide financial assistance to those members and program participants who otherwise would not utilize the YMCA.
Tickets can be purchased online at https://mplsfd.ymcatwincities.org/NETCOMMUNITY/SSLPage.aspx?pid=246&srcid=193.

Barcelona have been linked with a number og goalkeepers recently and Guzman is keen to be reunited with Gerardo Martino at the Spanish side.
"Obviously, it would be a dream to join Barcelona. It is clear that I have that illusion," he told El Mundo Deportivo.
"To be part of a team like Barca would be very nice, a dream.
"Now my challenge is to sustain what I have been doing at Newell's. After achieving a championship, the most difficult thing is to maintain that level personally and in the team."
"He is a very special technician. I have learned a lot from him and his assistants," he said of Martino.
"He is a great person, which is perhaps more important than the kind of coach he is. He greatly impressed me and also managed a championship."

Lab 5: Diffraction and Interference
Light is a wave, an electromagnetic wave, and under the proper circumstances, it exhibits wave phenomena, such as constructive and destructive interference. The wavelength of light is about 600nm = 0.0006mm, and this wavelength l sets the scale for the appearance of wave-like effects. For instance, if a broad beam of light partly passes through a wide slit, a slit which is very large compared to l , then the wave effects are negligible, the light acts like a ray, and the slit casts a geometrical shadow. However, if the slit is small enough, then the wave properties of light become apparent and a diffraction pattern is seen projected onto a screen illuminated by the light from the narrow slit.
We now ponder the light from two coherent light sources a distance d apart. Coherent sources emit light waves that are in phase, or in sync. If we think of light like a water wave, we can imagine that the two sources each emit an identical succession of wave crests and troughs, with the both emitting crests at the same. One way to create such coherent sources is to illuminate a pair of narrow slits with a distant light source.
Consider the light rays from the two coherent point sources made from infinitesimal slits a distance d apart (diagram below). We assume that the sources are emitting monochromatic light of wavelength l . The rays are emitted in all forward directions, but let us concentrate on only the rays that are emitted in a direction q toward a distant screen (q measured from the normal to the screen, diagram below) . One of these rays has further to travel to reach the screen, and the path difference is given by . If this path difference is exactly one wavelength l or an integer number of wavelengths, then the two waves arrive at the screen in phase and there is constructive interference, resulting in a bright area on the screen. If the path difference is etc., then there is destructive interference, resulting in a dark area on the screen.
If q is small, then and maxima occur on the screen at ; minima occur at .
A complete analysis (not show here) yields a pattern of intensity vs. angle that looks like:
As shown below, the angle q (measured from the center of the screen) is related to the distance x measured on the screen by , where L is the distance from the screen to the source of light (the aperture).
If the angle q is small (less than a few degrees), then to an excellent approximation,
and so the locations of the interference maxima are given by .
The uniform 2-slit interference pattern shown above is seldom observed in practice, because real slits always have finite width (not an infinitesimal width). We now ask: what is the intensity pattern from a single slit of finite width D? Huygens' Principle states that the light coming from an aperture is the same as the light that would come from a collection of coherent point sources filling the space of the aperture. To see what pattern the entire array produces, consider first just two of these imaginary sources: one at the edge of the slit and one in the center. These two sources are separated by a distance D/2.
The path difference for the rays from these two sources, going to the screen at an angle q , is , and these rays will interfere destructively if . But the same can be said for every pair of sources separated by D/2. Consequently, the rays from all the sources filling the aperture cancel in pairs, producing zero intensity on the screen when or, if q is small,
. (First minimum in single slit pattern.)
A complete analysis (too complicated to show here) yields an intensity pattern, called a diffraction pattern, on the screen that looks like...
[The central maximum is actually much higher than shown here. It was reduced by a factor of 6, for clarity.] The single slit diffraction pattern has minima at
(Minima of single slit pattern.)
So the separation of minima is l /D, except for the first minima on either side of the central maximum, which are separated by 2l /D. If x is the distance on the screen between minima, then .
When the aperture consists of two finite slits, each of width D, separated by a distance d, then the intensity pattern is a combination of both the single-slit pattern and the double slit pattern: the amplitude of the two slit interference pattern is modulated by a single slit diffraction pattern:
In this full pattern, the finely spaced interference maxima are spaced apart, while the more widely spaced minima of the single-slit diffraction pattern are separated by or . Note that an interference maximum can be wiped out if it coincides with a diffraction minimum.
An aperture consisting of many slits of uniform width and spacing is called a diffraction grating. Using exactly the same arguments as above, one can show that a diffraction grating, whose slit separation is d, produces maxima with a separation of , the same as a double slit, except the maxima from a grating are very cleanly separated and sharply peaked. The more slits in the grating, the more sharply peaked the maxima.
The resolution of an optical instrument such as a camera, a telescope or the human eye is defined as the smallest angle which the instrument can resolve. Diffraction effects limit the resolution of any optical instrument to , where l is the wavelength of the light used, and D is the diameter of the main light-gathering optical element (the objective lens of a telescope, the pupil of the human eye, etc.). Many texts use the formula , called the Rayleigh criterion, but the minimum angle of resolution q is difficult to measure precisely, and in practice the factor 1.22 is not experimentally significant.
The light source in parts 1 and 2 of this experiment is a He-Ne laser which produces a monochromatic beam with a wavelength of l = 632.8 nm and a beam diameter of about . The power output of our lasers is about 1 mW, a small amount, but still enough to damage your retina if you look directly into the beam.
The aperture consists of an opaque photographic negative, containing several single, double, and multiple slits. The arrangement of slits on the plate is shown here. The numbers are those given by the manufacturer and are not always accurate. (This particular plate is often called a Cornell Plate, since apertures of this kind where first used at Cornell University.)
Place the Cornell plate in its holder and mount it on the optical bench a few centimeters in front of the laser. Place a piece of whit paper in the clipboard and place it at the far end of the bench.. Then shine the laser through the various apertures and observe the diffraction patterns. Spend a few minutes exploring. Note the appearance of the single, double, and multiple slit patterns. In particular, observe how the single slit pattern changes as you vary the width of the slit.
This diagram shows the relation between the width s of some feature (any feature) on the screen, the angular width q of that feature, and the distance L from the aperture to the screen.
Part 1. Single Slits
In this part we will test the relation , where x is the separation of minima on the screen in the single slit diffraction pattern. Measure the distance L from the slit to the screen. Observe the diffraction pattern on your paper screen for each of the three smallest single slits(the three with approximate widths D = 0.10, 0.20, 0.35mm). With a pencil, mark the positions of as many of the minima that you can see and measure the spacing x between adjacent minima on the screen, for each of the three slits. To do this most accurately, measure the width of the entire pattern and divide by the number of maxima in the pattern (central max counts as two!). From your measurements, using the wavelength l =632.8nm, compute the slit width D for each of the three slits and compare with the manufacturer's widths.
Part 2. Double Slit
Repeat the above procedure with the one double slit aperture which has a nominal slit separation of 0.35 mm (the one in the middle of the right most column on the Cornell plate). Using the wavelength l =632.8nm, and make measurements of the diffraction pattern which allow you to compute d, the separation of the slits. Compare your value for d with the manufacturer's.
Part 3. Resolving power of the human eye
In this part, you will measure the resolving power of your eyes to see how close your vision is to "perfect", that is, diffraction-limited performance.
First, measure the diameter D of the pupil of your eye (under normal room-light conditions). With one eye open, look closely at the image of your pupil in a mirror and measure your pupil's diameter with a clear plastic ruler placed on the mirror or over your eye.
Next, measure the angular resolution of your eye with the following procedure: Your partner will stand on a "zero position" mark on the floor some distance away and will hold up an eye-test chart for you to view with both eyes open. The test chart consists of an array of vertical bars and an array of horizontal bars, as shown below. Beyond a certain distance, the human eye cannot resolve the bars and the arrays appear to be gray blotches rather than black stripes on a white background.
Begin by standing so far from your partner that the chart cannot possibly be resolved, and then signal your partner to hold up the test chart. The chart is held up with either the vertical bars or the horizontal bars to your right, but you will not know which orientation is used. Slowly, approach your partner and when you believe you can resolve the bars, indicate with hand signals which side of the chart has the horizontal bars. Repeat this test several times, varying your distance somewhat. Each time you "read" the chart, your partner should give the thumbs-up(correct) or thumbs-down(incorrect) signal and then you should turn away briefly while your partner randomly rearranges the chart for the next test. Find the maximum distance L (marked on the floor) at which you can consistently read the chart correctly. The separation x of the bars is marked on the chart. The angle q which you can resolve is then q = x/L. Report this angle in radians, degrees, and in arcminutes (60 arcminutes = 1 degree). Compare this angle with the theoretical diffraction-limited resolution of q = l /D. Use l = 550nm (the middle of the visible spectrum) in your calculations. Also report the results of your partners' eye tests. How close is your vision and your partners' to "perfect"?
Prelab questions (due at the beginning of the lab period)
1. A He-Ne laser (wavelength l = 633nm) shines through a single slit of unknown width D onto a screen 2.00 m away from the slit. The distance on the screen between the m=1 minima on either side of the central maximum of the diffraction pattern is measured and is found to be 2.3cm. What is the width D of the slit?
2. A He-Ne laser (wavelength l = 633nm) shines through a double slit of unknown separation d onto a screen 2.00 m away from the slit. The distance on the screen between the m=4 maxima on either side of the central maximum of the two-slit diffraction pattern is measured and is found to be 3.4 cm. What is the separation d of the two slits?
3. For the triangle shown below, what is the angle q in radians and in degrees? What would be your answer if you made the small angle approximation ()? What would be your % error in q if you made the small angle approximation?
4. What is Huygen's Principle?
5. True or False: it is perfectly safe to stare into a laser.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is sticking to her plan to withdraw troops from Iraq, no matter what.
In a testy exchange with a reporter on a conference call Monday, after Clinton delivered a speech about Iraq, top Clinton advisors went to pains to make plain that there would be no room for adjustment in Clinton's Iraq plans, no matter what happens on the ground.
At one point her communications director boiled it down to a one-word answer. Would she stand by her plan? Yes.
"Senator Clinton has been very, very clear about what her plan is and one of her points in giving the speech is that you can count on her to implement this plan," Clinton foreign policy adviser Lee Feinstein said.
"In the world there are contingencies, but it is a very different matter when you enter office, not intending to implement the plan you have put out on the campaign trail," he said.
"You've now just used this term 'contingencies'," replied Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs. "I mean that is, you're basically telling us that the plan might change? Is that not correct?"
"No, we're not saying that. What we're saying is that Hillary is committed to her plan. She has laid out her plan in detail. She was the first candidate in this race, in this primary, to lay out her detailed plans of what she would do as president to start bringing our troops home. She's committed to those plans," Clinton policy director Neera Tanden replied.
The Post reporter pressed again on whether it would be fair to assume that Clinton might need the opportunity to adjust her plan, in the way that former Obama adviser Samantha Power suggested Senator Barack Obama, D-Ill., might adjust his plan for a 16-month withdrawal.
In an interview with the BBC earlier this month, Power said: "You can't make a commitment in whatever month we're in now, in March of 2008 about what circumstances are gonna be like in January 2009. We can't even tell what Bush is up to in terms of troop pauses and so forth. He will of course not rely upon some plan that he's crafted as a presidential candidate or as a US senator. He will rely upon a plan, an operational plan that he pulls together, in consultation with people who are on the ground, to whom he doesn't have daily access now as a result of not being the president."
Referring to Clinton's plan to withdraw one to two combat brigades per month, Dobbs then asked directly: "She is going to stick to this plan, whatever the realities on the ground?"
"She has said that this is her plan. She has said what her goals are and those are the direction," Feinstein said.
"The answer is yes!" Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson jumped in.
"My question is … whether this is her plan and she is going to stick to it regardless?" Dobbs asked again.
"You're asking a question. I'm giving you a one-word answer so we can be clear about it. The answer is 'Yes'," Wolfson said.
"Hillary has addressed this issue numerous times!" an exasperated Tanden added. "She has done interviews on this issue. She has, uh, been confronted with this specific question and has said that she will be bringing our troops home when she becomes president."

Like so many across the country and the world, there is an absolute pain in my heart over what happened on Friday at Sandy Hook. We have been saying so many prayers for the families who lost so much and those who witnessed such devastation. We have been looking at the news stories to get information to answer the questions "how?" and "why?" but we know that the answers that will come will never justify the horrific acts that occurred.
I don't know how I can explain evil of this kind to my children when I simply cannot understand it myself. We had no choice but to discuss the events with our almost 4-year-old. He overheard many people talking and he asked us what was going on in Newtown. He knows Newtown, as our favorite ice cream place is there – he picked up on the name of the town pretty quickly, and asked why . We answered him at a very high level – saying someone did something terrible, but that person is gone. We had to be kind to our friends and family, and always show them love, and always do good to others.
As we received the news of our children's school being on lockdown yesterday (due to the proximity to Newtown) – I felt incredibly vulnerable as a parent. That complete feeling of vulnerability is something that I do not think I will ever be able to shake. From the moment we see a "+" sign on a pregnancy test, hear a heartbeat in a Doctor's office, or movement on an ultrasound screen, we know that we are carrying something amazing. We do everything we can from that moment on to nurture, love, and protect that life. It is incomprehensible that there are vicious people in the world who do not value the lives of others – as a parent, it is incomprehensible that there are people who would hurt our children – the people that we would do anything in the world for.
Please join me in praying for the victims and the families in Sandy Hook. I am so sorry that their parents and their families are feeling pain that no person should ever feel.
* I have not, and will not write the name of the murderer in this case – I do not believe that his name should be repeated and truly wish that news sources would focus on the victims, instead of giving any moment of press to the person who wreaked this havoc on so many innocent people.

the hostel is very basic. It is close to the bus/train station but the location is difficult to find, particularly if you are coming in after dark. The rooms are clean but the place completely lacks atmosphere. The staff were not rude but they were not particularly friendly or helpful. Not a bad place but I wouldn't stay here again.

Basic hostel in a great location; near the bus and train stations, and not far from the sights of Sarajevo. Kitchen facilities were basic and in fair condition; the bathrooms were similar: not great, but passable. No air conditioning made sleeping a bit uncomfortable, but the biggest complaint is staff and guests smoking indoors in the common areas; rather inconsiderate and gross, especially while I was eating.

If you lived in Silicon Valley, wouldn't you expect the public schools to have extensive programs in computer programming and entrepreneurship?
Nashville Mayor Karl Dean posed that question Thursday to help explain his city's new plan to create what is being billed as the world's most ambitious music education program.
The plan for the city's K-12 school system, called "Music Makes Us," was announced Friday at a news conference in Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium. It calls for upgrading existing music programs such as those for band, orchestra and choir, and including some unusual new classes. Those offerings will have kids playing in rock 'n' roll bands, spitting hip-hop lyrics, DJing, writing and composing contemporary songs, and learning modern production techniques.
The funding is still being worked out, but private support from the music industry is expected to be a major component. Some of the new classes will be integrated into school curricula as early as next year.
Dean, in a phone interview Thursday, said the goal isn't so much to churn out little Alan Jacksons and Miranda Lamberts -- though it's unlikely anyone in Nashville would complain at such an outcome.
"I don't see us as being a farm team for the music industry," he said. Instead, Dean said, the effort is a recognition that music "enriches a person's life, makes them a well-rounded person and helps them academically."

Water Festival – Fukagawa Hachiman Matsuri
It is Monday afternoon here in Tokyo and people are getting ready for the big typhoon heading towards the city. The rains have started and as I am writing this the typhoon has made landfall in Kouchi Prefecture on Shikoku Island.
All this weather is keeping me holed up at home and has me thinking of water, so here are some photos from one of my favorite major festivals of the city, the Fukagawa Hachiman Matsuri in Tokyo's Monzennakacho district. During this festival which attracts thousands locals and tourists local shops and even fire fighting teams prepare water, buckets and hoses to do their best to soak the revelers in water.
Fukagawa Hachiman Water Festival
The annual festival at the Tomioka Hachimangu is a grand event on normal years, but once every third year the festival goes into hyper mode and grows much larger than usual. The 2014 Fukagawa Hachiman Festival was one of these special years and the rituals and celebrations were massive. I could only visit one of the evenings and one of the days but it must have been great. The festival is also known as the water splashing festival and the streets of the processions are lined with shopkeepers and even local fire departments at the ready to soak the participants!
Tomioka Hachimangu – Gamelan
At the Tomioka Hachimangu a couple of weeks ago I saw this performance of Indonesian gamelan music performed by a mixed troupe of dancers and musicians at the shrine itself. I had never seen it before and the fascinating music and movements were fantastic. Sometimes even traditional Japanese festivals show you things from completely different cultures. The performance was a huge hit with the audience. I overheard lots of people comparing it to the performances they had seen when visiting the island of Bali which in the last few years has become a very popular travel destination for Japanese tourists.
Fukagawa Water Festival 2014
I took so many photos at the grand, once every three years, Fukagawa Hachiman Matsuri a couple of weeks ago. This year I wasn't about to get as close as last time I visited the festival and got doused in water, ruining my camera. So, here's a few of the second-best shots, as close as i dared going. I visited on the Saturday of the festival while the main event was on the Sunday, so I missed the fire department and their big hoses for showing the omikoshi and the people underneath!

Breitbart News today reports the claim by Chicago-based behavior neurologist, Dr. Richard Saul, as claiming that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) doesn't exist. Bretbeit reports, "After 50 years of practicing medicine and seeing thousands of patients demonstrating symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dr Saul's observation is that: ADHD doesn't exist."
Dr. Saul said the diagnosis lead many children to be prescribed the drug Ritalin to treat the alleged disorder, which in many cases lead to dangerous behavior.
Breitbart reports, "Dr. Saul has identified up to twenty diseases that have been misdiagnosed as ADHD, including Tourette syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia. He believes that people who think they have ADHD or some other condition are dealing with a normal level of stress in a faster-paced world. The doctor recommends that changing your lifestyle, eating better, getting exercise, and sleeping more will mitigate the symptoms normally associated with ADHD."
The documentary "Generation RX" also extensively covers the ADHD issue, and how this diagnosis is one of several likely bogus illnesses that were designed to sell more psyciatric drugs and make excessive profits for the major pharmaceutical companies. It also documents how virtually all of the "expert" panalists who are on the committee that decides which mental disorders are included in the American Psyciatric Assocation's "Diagnostic and Statistical Menual of Mental Disorders have close ties and connections to major pharmaceutical companies.
The ADHD hoax has made billions in profits for drugs companies from the tens of millions of children labeled with this bogus "disorder" and prescribed a variety of dangerous psyciatric drugs, including Ritalin. It has also been extensively documented that children who grow up taking drugs for ADHD are highly likely to go on to a life of drug abuse (including illegal drugs) and crime as adults.
Basically, we're ruining an entire generation of children, to make money for drugs companies, by diagnosing them with ADHD and putting them on drugs. It's time we stop this madness, and it's time for parents to say no to ADHD, and say no to drugs, and look for the root causes of the sympton that Dr. Saul notes as the cause, and address those issues rather than letting the so-called experts, who are bought and paid for by the drugs companies, to get their children addicted to drugs.

Marlene Woodward-Cooper remembers reading a newspaper article in the late 1960s about a new Christian college that was starting in West Palm Beach.
Two years later Woodward-Cooper, then a church pianist and piano tutor, joined the music faculty of the newly formed Palm Beach Atlantic College.
Now in her 41st year of teaching, Woodward-Cooper is Palm Beach Atlantic University's longest serving faculty member, having worked under all seven presidents. In 1992, she received the University's Award for Outstanding Teaching, and last August she received its 40-year service award.
|Marlene Woodward-Cooper
Whenever she thinks of retiring, her piano students convince her to stay a few more years until they graduate, she said.
"I fall in love with my students," she said. "I can't leave them."
And she shows no signs of slowing down, either as an instructor or as a composer. In February, audiences will hear the premiere of Woodward-Cooper's newest composition for two pianos and a string orchestra titled Rayos de Esperanza, which translates to "rays of hope."
The international piano duo Gastesi-Bezerra will debut Rayos de Esperanza during the Feb. 11 concert in PBA's DeSantis Family Chapel. The duo has performed several of Woodward-Cooper's original works in recent years in countries like France, Serbia, Spain and Brazil and at universities and festivals across the United States.
"Her music is very well written and very expressive," said Marcio Bezerra, who makes up half of the duo. "It always receives good comments from the audience."
Woodward-Cooper, formerly Marlene Sadlon, began playing the piano and composing as a child in Wantagh, N.Y., with guidance from her father, a pianist. At age 12, she attended Juilliard School of Music for a summer. Later, she earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Manhattan School of Music.
She moved to Florida, where she and her husband raised two sons and she began playing for the Palm Beach Opera. She also played the organ and piano in churches and taught privately. Also, her exceptional sight-reading abilities landed her a number of last-minute performance jobs.
Stan Doyle, who started PBA's music department, was familiar with Woodward-Cooper's sight-reading skills, as well as her educational background in both piano performance and music education. He invited her to join the faculty in April 1970. She began teaching that fall.
Woodward-Cooper has impacted many people throughout the history of PBA, said Dr. Lloyd Mims, dean of the School of Music and Fine Arts. "Her loving, caring attitude has been a blessing to so many students while at the same time her high standards of professionalism have spurred so many students on to great musical endeavors," Dr. Mims said.
In addition, her piano tutelage of entrepreneur John J. Rinker spurred Rinker and his wife, Sheila, to provide the lead gift in building the music building on campus.
When Vera Lea Rinker Hall was dedicated in 2002 as the new home of the School of Music and Fine Arts, Woodward-Cooper received a ceremonial key to the building from Rinker.
While she is always serious in her approach to music, Woodward-Cooper often uses humor to lighten the mood in the classroom. "I can laugh at myself, and I laugh at my students and they laugh with me," she said.
Off campus, Woodward-Cooper was a founding member of the Palm Beach Chamber Music Society, and she served as pianist and organist for the First Christian Church, Lakeside United Methodist Church, Lakeside Presbyterian Church and Our Savior Lutheran Church.
Though she could have traveled abroad as a performer, she doesn't feel she has missed anything. She said she is able to play for audiences here as often as she wants.
Meanwhile, through performers like Gastesi-Bezerra, her music is being heard around the world.
"I can compose music anywhere," she said. "I get my desire for performance out of my system when I want to. I have the best of all worlds."

- What facilities are available for courses and research projects?
- Can I 'double major' in chemistry or biochemistry and something else?
Required courses for the chemistry or biochemistry major…
All chemistry and biochemistry majors begin by taking General Chemistry I and II and Calculus I and II. However, students who perform well on the AP Chemistry or Calculus exams may be able to opt out of these requirements.
Sophomores generally study organic chemistry (the chemistry of carbon molecules) and physics. In the junior and senior years, students take courses in analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry.
In addition, most chemistry and biochemistry majors do at least one semester of directed independent research in one of the biology or chemistry professors labs.
Required courses for the chemistry minor…
Achieving a Chemistry Minor is a great way to enhance the scientific rigor of a Biology, Environmental Science, Math or other major.
The Chemistry Minor consists of a total of six courses: General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, and two other chemistry courses.
Declaring a major or minor in chemistry or biochemistry…
A chemistry or biochemistry major may be declared when you apply at EMU, or at any time by filling out a "Change of Major" form available at the Registrar's Office.
Can I study chemistry and go to medical school (have a career in health sciences)?
Yes! Both chemistry and biochemistry majors have gone on to medical school as well as other careers in the health sciences. Students who have these interests, such as dentistry, medicine, and pharmacy, enroll in the pre-professional health sciences program and take some courses in addition to those in their major to prepare for their graduate studies.
Can I do research in a faculty laboratory?
Yes! Chemistry and biochemistry majors are encouraged to participate in a directed research project. EMU chemistry/biochemistry students have a long history of laboratory production.
Students interested in engaging in a research project are encouraged to talk to their academic advisers, or to any chemistry/biochemistry/biology faculty member to identify a project that interests them. Normally students choose a specific project that falls within a larger, ongoing, research project in the laboratory of a faculty member.
Students meet on a regular basis with faculty to design and perform experimentation, and to discuss progress. In some cases, research results lead to publications and/or presentations at regional or national scientific meetings.
What type of research do professors do?
You are always free to speak with faculty members about their research interests and ongoing projects—like most scientists they will be enthusiastic about explaining the significance of their results!
For brief descriptions of general interests, go to the research page of the department of chemistry and biochemistry.
What facilities are available for courses and research projects?
The departments of chemistry and biochemistry and biology at EMU are fortunate to possess a variety of equipment that increases the range of chemical/biological experiments that can be performed.
Here is a list of some of the facilities that are routinely utilized in the chemistry/biochemistry/biology classrooms and research laboratories:
Chemistry/Biochemistry Instrumentation:
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (The Shenandoah Valley NMR Consortium is headquartered at James Madison University and linked to EMU via the Internet.)
- Fourier-Transform Infrared
- Luminescence/Fluorescence
- Atomic Absorption
- UV-Visible
Liquid and Gas Chromatographs:
- High Performance Liquid Chromatographs
- Gas Chromatographs
- Capillary Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer
Other Chemistry/Biochemistry/Molecular Biology Equipment:
- Differential Scanning Calorimeter

- Milligram digital balances
- pH meters
- 2000†C Kiln
- Transmission Electron Microscope
- Fluorescence Microscope
- Greenhouse
- Environmental Growth Chambers
Can I "double major" in chem or biochem and something else?
Yes! We think that exploring and exercising the multitude of gifts that God has given you is the most fitting way to complete your college education. We also believe that a broad education is most desirable for science students entering today's job market.
Therefore, we encourage our students to seek out ways of expanding their horizons and making their education stand out from the norm. In the past five years, we have had Chemistry or Biochemistry majors seek second majors or minors in one or more of the following fields:
- Secondary Education Licensure
- Biology
- Environmental Science
- Math
- Computer Science
- Business Administration
- Art
- French
- Philosophy and Theology.

One of the greatest weapons against climate change sits on vast tracts of undeveloped Brazilian land. The country is home to nearly half of Earth's rain forests, gobbling up 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide every year — a third of the United States' 2010 greenhouse gas output. Maintaining, and expanding, what the Economist aptly termed "the world's lungs" will be essential to fighting global warming, not to mention preserving biological diversity and water systems.
The good news: With the help of satellite monitoring and other tools, Brazil last year slowed illegal deforestation to a fifth of its peak in 1995, when the country lost a whopping 29,000 square kilometers of its rain forest to unauthorized slashing. The bad news: Brazil's government is weakening its landmark Forest Code, the legal basis for that improved enforcement.
Despite a prominent environmentalist campaign, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff last month vetoed only a few of the most troubling revisions, softening preservation mandates.
Environmentalists argue that there is already plenty of cleared, arable land available in Brazil, and that the goal should be to grow more on it. Yet it is difficult for individuals to profit from holding unused forested plots, and there is economic opportunity in expanding production of Brazilian commodities, such as soybeans and orange juice, to feed the world's growing population. In other words, it's hard to preserve forests when international markets do not value them.
World governments must change that. Instead of expecting Brazil and other countries to bear all the costs of preserving ecologically valuable land, fairness and efficiency argue for an international program to turn forest preservation into a source of income.
In its most efficient form, the money to pay for saving forests would come from an international carbon market, not from strapped national treasuries.
But gridlock in international climate talks, mostly relating to issues other than deforestation, has made progress on creating such a program unacceptably slow.
Deforestation, in Brazil and elsewhere, is a massive problem. So Brazil's legislature should reconsider its new forest code. But the international community must also give developing nations more incentive to preserve their ecological wealth.

Northrop Grumman says a newly launched hybrid airship will be able to lift as much cargo as a Lockheed Martin C-130E Hercules.
The US Army awarded a contract less than 50 days ago for the Northrop/Hybrid Air Vehicles team to demonstrate the long-endurance, multi-intelligence vehicle (LEMV) as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform.
But Northrop chief engineer Michael Addison says the same aircraft can lift a 15,875kg (35,000lb) payload by removing the ISR payload and making other modifications.
"By using the same hull and changing some of the configuration of the solid structure underneath, we can also provide a substantial heavy-lift capability," Addison says. "It will be a modification done without changing the basic hull, so that's exciting."
Addison's lone briefing chart for his presentation said the "heavy/mission lift configuration" can haul a 15,875kg load over a 1,852-2,778km (1,000-1,500nm) distance.
By comparison, a US Air Force fact sheet lists the C-130E as capable of delivering the same weight of cargo over a 2,315km distance.
The LEMV program, however, is aimed at proving a hybrid airship can be effective at the ISR mission, perching over a target at 20,000ft for a period of 21 days. The airship is designed to carry a 1,133kg payload for three weeks.
The ISR payload includes a ground moving target indicator radar, full motion video, communications relay and communications intercept.
Northrop is scheduled to complete a preliminary design review within two weeks, Addison says. First flight remains on track for the end of the 2011 with inflation scheduled in the late second quarter next year.

Every week my colleague Ron Kaspriske,
Golf Digest Fitness Editor, presents Fitness Friday on the Instruction
Blog. This week he talks about the benefits of walking, and why there's really no excuse for taking a cart. Look for Weekend Tip
tomorrow, and remember to follow me on Twitter: @RogerSchiffman.
Roger Schiffman
Managing Editor
Golf Digest
The point I'm trying to make is that walking does NOT slow down play. I often hear golf courses use this excuse as a reason for making players take a cart or restricting the times a golfer is allowed to walk (usually late in the day). The truth, more often than not, is that a golf course wants cart revenue so they hide behind a "no-walking-to-keep-play-moving policy."
I'm going off on a rant here, because golf season is in full gear, and it's time to encourage as many golfers as possible to leave the cart in the barn and walk when they play. If you currently play a course that allows walking, and you're physically capable, there's no excuse for getting a cart. And if you currently play a course that doesn't allow walking, ask the pro or manager for permission. Tell him or her that you promise to keep up with the group in front of you and if you don't, they can kick you off the course. Some walkers even offer to pay a "trail fee" so they can walk and the course gets the revenue. If they still say "no," then tell them you'll find another place to play.
The benefits are too numerous to ignore. Whether you carry your bag or use a push/pull cart, walking counts as a moderately intense physical activity by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Council for Exercise. Walking 18 holes, when compared to riding in a cart, burns at least 630 more calories. It also improves strength and flexibility in several muscle groups--most notably the glutes, quadriceps and hamstrings. Finally, it improves blood flow and heart strength and reduces the risks of Type II diabetes and high cholesterol (LDL).
Golf Digest recently teamed up with Humana for its "Walk It" program. Thousands of pedometers were given away to help encourage golfers to not only walk, but track their steps. Also launching a walking campaign is the Hospital for Special Surgery and the PGA of America. In addition to giving away thousands of pedometers at the Senior PGA Championship, the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup later this year, a new website was just launched where you can track how far you've treaded. Go to http://www.hss.edu/golf to check it out.
So how far do you walk when you play 18? And do you walk farther if you spray the ball versus keeping it in the fairway? Back in 2009, fellow editors Ashley Mayo (@ashleykmayo) and Jeff Patterson (@1stiwasafraid) helped me put together an article in Golf Digest tracking the distance traveled by golfers (male and female) who rode in a cart with no restrictions, who rode in a cart with a "cart-path-only" restriction and who walked. This study was done on several courses over several months counting every step for each round. Their findings should convince you, once and for all, to get out of the cart.

As a result of which year Senate seats are up and several retirements, extremely few sitting Republican senators have anything to fear this November. There are only 10 Republican-held seats up this year; and because of retirement, only 7 incumbent Republicans are running in those seats. Of those seven incumbents, only two are considered to be in general election toss-up races by the Cook Political Report and Real Clear Politics: Scott Brown in Massachusetts and Dean Heller in Nevada. Dean Heller is not even a true incumbent since he was recently appointed to the seat. That means only 4% of the current Republican Senate caucus is seriously worried about their general election.
In fact, among the very few incumbent Senators running this year they collectively have almost as much to fear from primaries as they do from a general election challenge. In Indiana, Incumbent Sen. Richard Lugar is in real danger of potentially losing to a primary challenge from state treasurer Richard Mourdock. Similarly, Orrin Hatch has been very focused this year on trying not to be unseated in a primary challenge like Bob Bennett was in 2010. While it looks like Hatch may avoid that fate, it is only because he has been very focused on the campaign.
Only a few Republican senators have to worry about Democrats forcing them to make tough votes before the election or are worried about trying to appeal to swing voters. Most don't need to worry about short term general election optics. The vast majority don't need to be particularly concerned about defining popular opinion on pending issue.
Collectively, they may want to take actions that could improve the entire party's image with swing voters in an attempt to help win the White House and pick up more seats, but individually they have little to worry about.
From a policy perspective this means Democrats have almost no ability to use the pending election to leverage these Senate Republicans into action on a popular proposal. Even if the Democrats managed to peel off the two or three vulnerable incumbents on a particular popular vote, they would still be well shy of the 60 votes to break a filibuster. Basically almost nothing the GOP doesn't inherently like is going to get done.
Democrats are going to put forward a lot of popular sounding proposals between now and the election to try to draw a contrast between the parties, but Democrats know they have little leverage over the Senate Republicans. Democrats know almost everything at this points is going to be pure theater, so they are free to press popular ideas they don't even have any intention of implementing.

Live Rockets commentary & more on NBA with Fran Blinebury
Monthly Archive for December, 2007
Auld acquaintance – fear: Warriors 112, Rockets 95.
The ball fell in Times Square at midnight. The Rockets dropped like a bag of hammers much earlier. Oh, you can point to the 37-15 caning they took from the Warriors in the fourth quarter. You can zero in on all of those wide open 3-pointers that were dropped in by Stephen Jackson and Baron […] [Read More]
That's why he's Bonzi.
Well, Mr. Wells? Missed a layup and laid off Stephen Jackson for consecutive wide open treys. [Read More]
The Closer.
You kinda had a feeling as Baron Davis stumbled and bumbled around for much of the night. He was 4-for-14 with 7 turnovers through 3 quarters. Now he's 4 for 5 in the fourth with 10 points. [Read More]
For Yao long?
Time to ride Yao down the stretch. That is, as long as Yao can stay in the game. Any guesses to when he gets No. 5? [Read More]
Frontrunners R Us.
Rockets lead 80-75 after the third. Rockets are 14-1 this season when ahead entering the fourth. [Read More]
Don't be shy.
If the Rockets let this one get away, it might be because they're passing up shots and throwing the ball all over the place trying to make extra passes. [Read More]
Time for a hero.
Things are getting sloppy. So you bring in super Steve Novak to see if he can repeat his first half performance. [Read More]
Chucking with Chuck.
Turnovers No. 16 for the Rockets came when Chuck Hayes grabbed a defensive rebound and suddenly tried to become Tom Brady. Long "TD" pass to Luther Head was badly overthrown. You gotta stay within yourself. [Read More]
