Lehigh honored for its culture of service
Lehigh University's Community Services Office was recently named to the 2007 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, a distinction awarded to colleges and universities around the country that have successfully nurtured a culture of service and civic engagement.
Community Service Honor Roll
—the highest federal recognition a school can achieve in the community service arena—recognized six schools with Presidential Awards and four with a Special Achievement Award.
Lehigh shares honor roll status with institutions such as Dartmouth, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Emerson, Wake Forest and Carnegie Mellon.
"We consider it a privilege to be on this list with so many great institutions," says Carolina Hernandez, director of Lehigh's Community Service Office. "It's particularly gratifying to us since this is the first time we've applied. We were shocked and humbled to be recognized."
Adds John Smeaton, vice provost for Student Affairs: "In recent years, the level of growth and enhancement of our Community Service Office has been phenomenal. It's very rewarding to know that so many students contribute to the success of this office, and make the effort to make a difference on our campus and beyond. Their level of concern and commitment is a real tribute to our students."
Lehigh Community Service Office was established in Fall 1996 to provide a coordinated program for engagement for students, faculty and staff. The office currently maintains a working relationship with more than 100 local agencies, and coordinates programs such as SERVE trips, spring break programs, the America Reads and Counts tutoring program for local schoolchildren and the first-year volunteer orientation program.
During the Fall 2007 semester alone, students who worked through the Community Service Office contributed 6,500 hours of service.
Launched in 2006, the President's Community Service Honor selects recipients based on a series of selection factors including scope and innovativeness of service projects, percentage of student participation in service activities, incentives for service and the extent to which the school offers academic service-learning courses.
The Honor Roll is a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service, and is sponsored by the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation, the USA Freedom Corps and the U.S. Departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development.

American Idol
Listen to Every Song on Phillip Phillips's Debut Album (AUDIO)
Phillip Phillips fans won't have to wait until November 19 to listen to the American Idol winner's upcoming album!
Yahoo! Music has a preview of all 12 songs on P2's debut effort, titled The World From the Side of the Moon. From the snippets we've heard, followers of Dave Matthews Band, Maroon 5, John Mayer and Train will really dig on Phillip's sound.
"It's an album that really represents me and it really comes from my heart, so I really hope people can connect with it," said Phillip, who single-handedly wrote four songs and co-wrote five on the album.
The 22-year-old singer also dished on working with Jimmy Iovine, the notoriously critical Idol mentor and head honcho at Interscope Records, Phillip's label.
"I was definitely nervous about working with him, because you can't really tell Jimmy Iovine that he's wrong!" he said. "He kind of knows best, because he' worked with some of the greatest artists in the world. But he let me do so much on this album."
Listen to a bit of each song on Phillip's debut album below! What do you think of the final product?

|Introduction to Medieval Christian
II. 1 Introduction to the Liturgy
The most striking feature of late antique and medieval Christianity was the public nature of
its liturgy. When most of us think of liturgy today, we imagine the short, discreet, essentially
congregational or parochial events that take place periodically within the confines of churches.
Ancient and medieval Christian liturgy was an entirely different affair. From the fourth to the
seventh century, Christian worship, like Christianity itself, became a fundamentally urban
experience. Bishops, their clergy, monks and nuns, the holy dead and all the noisy faithful
transformed the cities of the Roman empire into powerful symbols of redeemed space and time.
Christian liturgy took up many hours of every day, filled the city's largest meeting halls, spilled out
into the city's streets, broke through the city's walls.
Another striking feature of late antique and medieval Christianity was the presence and
power of the monastic movement. Again, today when we think of monks and nuns we think of
quiet contemplatives who live far from our city centers surrounded by their fields, wrapped in
their essentially private prayers. In Antiquity monks and nuns were very much caught up in the
urban nature of Christianity. They were not so much non-urban as anti-urban. When the Egyptian
fathers and mothers of monasticism sought out the desert, they retired to the wastelands that
surrounded the cities' hinterlands. There they relied on an almost unending stream of pilgrims
from the cities for their physical sustenance. Many other holy men and women, set apart from the
civilized world only by their extreme ascetic practices, sought out the spiritual desert in the hearts
of imperial cities. In this way their reference point remained the world as embodied in the ancient
Although Western Europe throughout the Middle Ages became a thoroughly deurbanised
region, Christian liturgy remained a fundamentally urban or monastic event. Even as the economic
diversity and power of cities declined in the West, even as their populations dwindled, they
remained, nonetheless, imposing figures on the cultural landscape, emaciated bodies held up by
the powerful skeletons of their ancient basilicas, animated by
the numinous presence of their dead
and the perambulating rhythms of their liturgical processions. The Church of Rome was the city of
Rome, The Church of Toledo, Toledo, of Lyon, Lyon.
In the beginning, however, Christians met to worship not on the town but in private
homes. As their numbers grew and consequently their cultic needs grew with them, they
purchased houses and transformed them into cultic centers. This was the same procedure
followed by other marginalized religious groups within the empire whether adherents to so-called
Mystery Cults or Judaism. The excavations of a small town called Dura Europas demonstrate the
situation beautifully. In the heart of town stood temples dedicated to the city's official gods. Along
the town's periphery were houses that had been purchased and transformed into religious centers
for non-dominant religions. Among these houses were a mithraeum, a synagogue and a
After Constantine's conversion to Christianity, this new religion moved quickly from a
peripheral religion to the dominant religion in the empire. Christians soon had both the need as
well as the financial and political patronage necessary to build newer, larger structures for
worship. To this end, they adopted the architecture not of Hellenistic temples (they were much
too small and exclusive) but of the large public buildings called basilicas. By the end of the fourth
century Christians had built large basilicas in virtually every city in the empire. Yet the basilica
was not usually the fundamental unit of Christian liturgy; the city was. The powerful need to
express the catholicity of the Christian Church, its unity, moved Christians to structure their
worship life around the figure of the bishop and the community of the city. Just as the empire was
one but divided into cities each with its local leaders, so too was Christianity one, but divided into
cities each with its local leader, the bishop.
One of the first cities to develop a fully urban liturgy was Jerusalem. The city was fairly
small and did not have the deeply rooted pagan traditions of most other cities in the empire.
Neither did it continue to maintain its Jewish traditions. They had been violently uprooted over
two hundred years earlier when Roman authorities tore down the Temple and either expelled or
massacred much of the Jewish population. Jerusalem also distinguished itself from other Roman
cities in that it also possessed the historical sites of Jesus' life. It, therefore, quickly became a
Christian tourist site of the first importance. The Jerusalem Church incorporated all of these
historical sites into its liturgical life. It celebrated Jesus' nativity in the nearby village of
Bethlehem, his passion and resurrection in town at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, his
triumphal entry into the city on the road between the Mount of Olives and town. Hagiopolite
liturgy was as much the procession from place to place as the services which were conducted in
each place. We still have vivid account of this liturgy as it took place in the later fourth century in
the travelogue of one of those tourists, a nun by the name of Egeria, who came from somewhere
in what is today Spain or perhaps France.
Other cities, such as Rome, were neither as blessed with Christian tourist sites nor as free
of deeply rooted pagan traditions. Nevertheless, they too developed full urban liturgies, just not as
quickly as Jerusalem. The result of these urban liturgies was the transformation of imperial cities
into complex expressions of the Christian faith.
[This system of urban liturgies] reveals that the city itself was sacred space an that its walls enclosed not only a geographical area but also an idea. This is why Augustine chose civitas as the point of reference for his theology of history. The city itself represented civilization, and as such was an apt place for public worship.The urban character of ancient Christian liturgies remained an important aspect of Christian worship throughout the Middle Ages.
One consequence of this urban character of Christian liturgy was a great variety of detail
and even of structure in medieval liturgy. Romans did not celebrate the Eucharist in exactly the
same way as Constantinopolitans or Toledans. Important cities, however, did influence the
liturgical development of lesser cities and especially the cities in their regions. Even the bishops of
great cities such as Rome borrowed from the liturgies of other centers such as Jerusalem or
Constantinople. Eventually, large liturgical families called rites developed. In the West some of
the most important rites were the Roman, the Ambrosian (that from the city of Milan), and the
The services of the Christian liturgy were the principal means by which both Christians and
non-Christians experienced the Christian Church. Thus liturgy came to articulate both space and
time for large segments of the population in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The study of the
liturgy, therefore, opens up rich possibilities for interpreting the fundamental worldview generated
by or imposed upon, accepted lovingly or resisted valiantly by the peoples of medieval Europe,
North Africa and the Near East.

Catholics For Romney Coalition AnnouncedBy
Romney for President announced yesterday the Catholics for Romney Coalition. While there has been a loosely organized effort to engage Catholics in the campaign, yesterday's announcement makes things "official."
The Romney/Ryan campaign released a statement announcing the coalition and explaining why Catholics are important in this election:
"I am honored to have the support of Catholic leaders from all over this country," said Mitt Romney. "The Catholic Church embodies all that is great about America—loving your neighbor, defending life, and helping the less fortunate to overcome poverty and rise in the world. Forming a more perfect union requires that we continue to turn these principles into reality. If I am elected president, that will be my highest priority."
"As a life-long Catholic, I learned very early that we must love our neighbors as we love ourselves," said Congressman Paul Ryan. "That principle has informed my life in public service, and I am pleased to have so many leaders in the faith supporting Mitt Romney and me in this election. We understand that policymakers must target the root causes of poverty with reforms that promote economic growth and opportunity. Free enterprise and strong communities remain the best means to promote upward mobility and help individuals escape the trap of government dependency. It is an honor to support Governor Romney as he advances solutions that champion the dignity of every human being. That is a goal that people of all faiths can support."
Granted, these sorts of coalitions happen in due course during every campaign, but the Catholics for Romney National Advisory Committee is made up of many of the most influential Catholic political thinkers and advocates. It shows an earnest effort by the campaign, and by those who have signed on to advise, to truly craft a campaign and policy course that will not just appease Catholics, but integrate Catholic social teaching into its decisions.
What this means, for those unfamiliar with politics, is that the campaign will specifically target Catholics to help with the "three legs" that every campaign must rest upon. "Money, Manpower, and Messaging." Catholics are willing to help in all those areas if the cause is right. This coalition and the people serving as Co-Chairs and Advisors were specifically picked to make sure that Catholics engage in those three areas this election.
For you at home, that means there will be special events (many states will have Catholics for Romney Kickoff events in the coming weeks), directed messaging to Catholics, and appeals from people you are quite familiar with.
While some may see this as a purely political decision due to the importance of the "Catholic Vote" in presidential elections, the list seems to tell a different tale. What one can glean from this announcement is that the selection of Paul Ryan, and the composition of this coalition, are a direct effort by Mitt Romney to speak directly to Catholics and conservatives. Romney has a record that is off-putting to many in the conservative "base." This coalition signifies that he has plotted a course in a much different direction. Those wary of Romney's past have wondered whether he was simply "talking the talk" early on in this campaign, and the question of whether he would "walk the walk" loomed heavily over his head.
This announcement, and the selection of the people on this advisory committee seems to confirm that Romney/Ryan are sincere in their statements.

Come on my brothers Catholics!!!!
40 days until the election!!!!!!!!!!!! Get those prayer warriors lined up!! We will win this thing!!!!!!!!!!!! :0)
September 24th and Romney just gets around to launching his official Catholic outreach, weeks after Obama launched his national effort and after Obama has organized scores of state, diocesan and parish Catholics for Obama organizations? Organizationally Romney is running behind on this. It is even worse for Romney on Catholic college campuses.
This surely seems to indicate that the Catholic vote isn't much of a priority to Romney. What took sooooooooooo long? If he can't get something so basic togehter, what does that say about his leadership ablitiies? Maybe he should start a NASCAR owners for Romney group, too, since he isn't doing too well with NASCAR fans, either. And I wonder if Paul Ryan will support the union busting NFL replacement refs or support the union and how that will fare for him in Wisconsin?
"Is it even worse for Romney on Catholic college campuses" Yes, "Catholic" campuses are not inmune from flaming liberals teaching, so, Republicans are not welcome but they call it open-mindedness!
Heretics for Obama
Catholics for Obama! http://www.catholicsforobama.org/ (for those that believe that being able to roll down the window in your private jet is NOT a "serious problem" like Romney does)
Still following HATE (Obama) I see. You have a "SERIOUS PROBLEM" You hate God and want to lead others away from Him. Good luck with that on this form. And by the way, still praying for your conversion. Being anti-God and racist are two evils of this world that you gladly partake in. Will continue to pray for you. God Bless
At least Romney does not go all over the world decrying the harm to the environment cause by gasoline as the President spends lots and lots of gallons of gas traveling in Air Force One. The man is a first class hypocrite, but you still defend him, don't you? Obama claims he is on the side of the poor as he travels to Hollywood to collect millions of dollars for his campaign but Romney is the guy who doesn't understand the average American, right?
He smokes too…and passes a healthcare bill
An inconsistency I'm willing to confess to, but do we really elect Presidents on the basis of whether they smoke or not?
Romney has my Catholic vote and those of many others I know that actually follow the teachings of the Church!!! These other so called "Catholics for Obama" are not really Catholics. They are the conglomerate of dissidents that go against all that the Magisterium teaches. They are a sad joke, and everyone knows that they are not really Catholic. I will say though that these Catholics for Romney are a bit late in the game. However, I do have faith that the truth will prevail and Romney and Ryan will win this election. I feel like I am in one of those football games where it's the 4th down, our team is on the 5th yard line and we have one minute to play. A Hail Mary pass will get us the win, but boy, we are sweating through it. In the mean time, we should all pray for our fellows "I Hate" and "RaginCatholic", since all they do is rage and hate about what we all know to be truth. Their tag name gives away what they hold in their hearts. It's so sad. Jesus loves these guys too!
How do Christians vote for a Mormon, a heretic who would have been burned at the stake 700 years ago? The Mormons believe: God was a mortal being from another planet who upon his death and resurrection became God of the Earth; that there are many gods on many planets; that no one knows who the creator is; that Jesus and Satan are brothers; that Mormons upon their resurrection can also be gods; that non-Mormons will serve the Mormons in the afterlife. How do you knowingly vote for someone who has been taught that one day he will be equal to God? Isn't that why Satan was tossed out of Heaven? Could our nation be punished for choosing "another god"?
Catholics supporting a man like Romney that profits from abortions and signed a surrogacy contract that included a right for him to terminate the pregnancy. These Catholics should be ashamed of themselves.
Oh heaven forbid the lesser of two evils. Obama promotes infanticide in the event an abortion fails. Pick your sorry conscience and decide which is worse. And your comment that Romney profits from abortion is ludicrous. Planned Parenthood and pro-abortion advocates give to Obama, not to Romney.
I'd agree with raging. Romney personally profits from abortion and actually included the option to abort a baby in a contract that he personally signed. Obama has said that he hoped abortion would be "rare". I suspect that Romney has reason $$$ for abortion to be quite common (because he makes more MONEY that way)! If you want the lesser of two evils, you'd have to go with Obama.
Wow – I really envy your ability to contort yourself into that position…
Really, the depths you will go into to defend the indefensible. Obama is the most pro-abortion President we have ever elected and he even believes in partial-birth abortions, but because you don't like Romney, you hurl all sorts of ugly accusations against him. Unbelievable!
Face it abadilla,
Some folks are so set in theirs ways and in their pride that they will not listen to the teachings of the Church no matter what. Pride…Pride…Pride. All we can do is brush the dust off our feet and move on. Some people are just so stubborn.
I just get frustrated. One thing is to "accidentally" say something stupid, quite another when one repeats the same lies, calumnies, errors, over and over again, as if repeating them, makes them true.
I really have a hard time with Catholics who claim to be sons and daughters of the Church who spend their lives undermining the very Church they claim to belong to.
So you are saying that Romney is an evil, the discernment is just over the degree?
No, I'm not. I'm saying better to have someone not so virulently rabid in support of abortion as president.
But you called Romeny evil.
No, I did not. The president is evil, though, IMO. And you are a troll, I think.
Why do you keep repeating lies most of us don't believe anyway? Why don't you take a hard look at the most pro-abortion President we ever had?
Nice post, sir. Would you kindly change "gleam" to "glean" before I pull my hair out? 😉 Thanks.
Good catch Wouldn't want you to lose hair over anything I type (or don't type)
Thank you kindly! (And my hair thanks you as well.) Would that all men were so genial.

So Why Do I Perform Weddings?
In January of 2004, some very dear friends had asked me to perform their wedding ceremony. I didn't even know what to say, except laugh and told them they watched Friends once too many. I soon realized they were perfectly serious, they wanted only a handful of people, did not belong to a church, and wanted to get married in the park where they had their first date. So I jumped right in! I was ordained via the Universal Life Church out of Fresno, California. I had a complete background check, took some of their online classes, gathered some material, and Viola! I LOVE weddings, and I love to help people come together in such an intimate, sacred ritual. I personally have been married for 20 years, and I have come to realize there truly is no greater thing than LOVE. I have performed many ceremonies from ultra casual to formal, from park to conference center. I am adaptable in any style you wish, ECO, Traditional, Contemporary, whatever your hearts desire. I would be honored to be a part of your special day.

I knew that I wanted to make something that relevant to BREADKC! and since they server bread at their events, what could be better then turning your napkin into a bread basket.The Speakeasy examines and presents dialogue driven art practice through an evolving cultural corridor. It isn't a static exhibition but a set of unfolding situations and relationships, it's a specific place and moment for experimenting with and challenging both broader structures and ourselves in how we understand the economic and social forms that our art, our work, and our place take on. It's a series of points along a path, rather than a destination. If we are lucky we will be able to observe how or whether these experiments affect the quality of our relationships. We will come away with images, dreams and politics that drive us, and for better or worse that's one thing that art is good for.

Seriously great pizza for a great price. Love ya Alex!
Posted by Monica Malate on 07/16/2010
Our family discovered this hidden gem when we first moved to the North West Side. We have watched it grow into a wonderful establishment! When friends and family come in town and want "good Chicago pizza" this is where we go! We reccomend this place to EVERYONE! Meat Lover's is a must!
Posted by Jessica on 12/12/2009
Great pizza and a fair price in a cozy atmosphere - hard to find in our neck of the woods. They also accommodated our young kids very well.
Posted by Lisa on 03/01/2009
We just moved into the neighborhood and ordered from here because it is the closest pizza place. We were blown away by how great this pizza was, especially for the price. Great sauce, great toppings! We ordered a vegetarian pizza and the toppings were so fresh and full flavored, the carnivores didn't even miss the meat. TRY IT, YOU WILL LOVE IT!
Posted by Steve N Chris on 10/23/2007
We get their Meat Lovers pizza and it is sooooo good.
Posted by Suri on 04/02/2007
My husband and I have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. The pizzas are fabulous, wonderful crust, love the house special pizza with roast beef, carmelized onions and mushrooms. This place has the tastiest meat and marinara sauces I have ever tasted. Everything is made fresh and you can tell. Haven't tried the desserts, never have enough room. They are currently waiting for a liquour license but you can BYOB and if you forget there is a liquor store around the corner. You can also do take out or delivery and the same delicious food can be enjoyed at home. Menu has enough to choices to satisfy everyone and of course there are many options for pizza. It is so nice to have this place in Jefferson Park/Portage Park. Not only is the food great, the service is attentive without being intrusive and I believe there is a parking lot, but there is always plenty of street parking.Give this place a try, you won't be sorry.
Posted by The Best Brick Oven Pizza on 11/09/2006
Pizza by Alex is a great place to eat. Cheap prices and great atmosphere, elegant and great service. There is competition but no match for the pizza they make there. Fine dine-in area makes feel very comfortable. Parking in Rear.

Leah Sager grabbed her phone and took a picture as she scanned a booth at the Beautiful Beginnings Bridal Expo at the Pensacola Bay Center.
The bride-to-be said she had most of her planning done before the event, but was hoping for some ideas on the small details she was working on and didn't mind grabbing a few food samples either.
"This is way easier than taking a whole day off and having to go all over to book different appointments," Sager said. "(The expo) has everything you need."
Sager was one of hundreds of future brides who gathered at the first of a string of local expos featuring businesses for catering, baking, photography and every other detail of weddings.
View a gallery of Sager's expo experience >>
"It's a one-wedding stop," said event coordinator Brenda Carraway, publisher of Coastal Weddings Magazine. "Plus, brides can meet a prospective vendor, have tastings, preview displays, bring their groom, mom, best friend, sister and, of course, preview the latest bridal fashion in a well organized runway show."
Sager grabbed her "I'm a bride" bag and made her way into the Civic Center filled with more than 100 vendors.
"This is overwhelming," she said looking around.
The April 27 bride came in knowing what dress she'll be wearing, where her wedding will be and where the food is coming from, but said she was still looking for ideas on style, mother-of-the bride dress and any other inspiration she could gather from the expo.
One of Sager's first stops had her grabbing her phone from her purse and snapping a photo of a booth filled with custom-made goods with initials and sayings on runways, plates and even crates.
"This is something I want to do," Sager said before shaking the hand of the vendor and grabbing her card. "This is all about getting the ideas for the little details."
The 25-year-old made her way around the store grabbing cake samples, signing up for massages and chatting with photographers on price points and style. When the lights turned off and the bridal fashion show got underway she turned and began breathing heavy before laughing.
"It's getting closer," she said, panic in her voice. "I've got a lot to do, good thing I came today."

Doug Isenberg announced today that he will be a candidate for Magistrate on the Fiscal Court in District #4 of Barren County subject to the Democratic Primary and the General Election in 2014. Mr Isenberg stated, "This decision became a reality after learning that Magistrate Tommy Matthews will not be seeking another term on the Barren County Fiscal Court. Mr. Matthews has served our District in a fashion that sets the standards very high for whoever succeeds him on the Court and this presents a special challenge to me to continue the fine service to the citizens of the Fourth District."
Mr. Isenberg is married to the former Maude Traylor and they are the parents of a son, Barry, and a daughter Ellen Bunch and husband Jeff, and are members of the First United Methodist Church in Glasgow. Mr Isenberg stated, "My wife and I have lived in District Four for the entire time Mr. Matthews has served. Our children were educated in the Barren County School District, so that we were able to interact with a great number of its residents. I realize that the representation extends beyond the Fourth District since many decisions affect all of Barren County and I am prepared to serve the entire county to the best of my ability in that regard. With over fifteen years of faithful service to the city of Glasgow as a member of its Council, I feel this certainly helps to qualify me to serve in county government, as well. I would appreciate your vote and support in this endeavor as we attempt to improve the quality of life for the citizens of Barren County."

Barclays of Kenya 2012 Profits Rises on Income, Less Loan Losses
Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Barclays Bank of Kenya Ltd., the East African nation's third-biggest lender by market value, posted a 7.7 percent increase in full-year profit that beat analysts' expectations as loan income grew and bad loans fell.
Net income climbed to 8.74 billion shillings ($100 million) in the 12 months through December from 8.11 billion shillings a year earlier, Barclays said in a statement handed to reporters today in Nairobi, the capital. Net interest income, the money lenders make from loans, advanced 11 percent to 18.1 billion shillings, he said.
"Barclays has had a moratorium on lending to certain sectors such as manufacturing and real estate in the past few years and increased consumer lending," George Bodo, head of African banking research at Ecobank Capital Ltd., said in an interview today. "Their focus is on asset quality because they just don't want to grow for the sake of growth."
A Bloomberg survey of three brokerages including Standard Investment Bank, Faida Investment Bank Ltd. and African Alliance forecast net income would total 8.54 billion shillings. Barclays' shares have risen 4.8 percent this year, underperforming a 15 percent jump on the Nairobi Securities Exchange All-Share Index.

MU School of Physical Therapy earns teaching innovation grant
HUNTINGTON -- Penny Kroll and Rania Karim from the Marshall University School of Physical Therapy have received the Hedrick Program Grant for Teaching Innovation for the 2013-14 academic year.
Kroll is director of the physical therapy program, and Karim is an assistant professor with the school.
The Hedrick Grant is given annually from the Faculty Development Office in the Center for Teaching and Learning at Marshall. The grant funds an award of up to $5,000 for a project that supports innovations in teaching at the program level.
Approximately 320 students were brought together this past spring for three, three-hour seminars. They participated in activities designed to encourage inter-professional education, which occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from and with each other to enable effective learning.
With the aid of the Hedrick Grant, Karim said students can build on these experiences and continue their interactions with different professionals to learn about improving patient care.
Both Kroll and Karim agree the need for inter-professional education is greater than ever due to miscommunication among health care workers, which can result in many costly medical errors. Pam Holland, director of clinical education in the Department of Communication Disorders, said the changing landscape of health care is one reason why inter-professional education is so important.
"If we can get our students exposed to this collaborative environment of working with individuals of different disciplines, we create meaningful interactions that improve student outcomes," Karim said. "Growing up in this educational environment will allow them to be more prepared for real-world situations."

American Bar Association Visits MC's Paralegal Education Program
July 9, 2007Featuring small classes and evening sessions geared to working students, Mississippi College's Paralegal Education Programs have twice been approved by the American Bar Association.
Representatives of the ABA's Standing Committee on Paralegals recently visited MC to take another look at its paralegal studies. Final action following the site visit may be announced in late summer or early 2008.
There were 23 MC undergrads enrolled in the Spring of 2007 and seven others took classes in a 30-hour paralegal studies certificate program, both part of the Department of History and Political Science.
MC's program joins two others in Mississippi gaining approval of the ABA Standing Committee on Paralegals. Nationwide, they're in good company with schools like Tulane University in New Orleans, Texas A&M in Commerce, New York University and Kent State University in Ohio with the ABA's OK.
With more than 400,000 members, the ABA provides law school accreditation, continuing legal education, programs to assist lawyers and judges plus a host of initiatives to improve the nation's legal system.
"Mississippi College's paralegal studies program truly serves the needs of working students in the greater Jackson area," said Director Anna Puckett.
Students can utilize the Mississippi College School of Law Library in downtown Jackson and main campus library in Clinton to advance their skills. The program at MC graduated its first students in 1988.
For more details on paralegal studies at MC, contact Anna Puckett at 601-925-3812.

Armin Shimerman's "Quark" has always been my favorite character on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, with very good reason. He portrayed "Quark," the gregarious Ferengi proprietor of Quark's Bar, the center of social interaction on the promenade of the Deep Space Nine station, and the coolest place in the entire Alpha Quadrant. Shimerman's character is arguably the most complex of the entire series. Quark seems, at once, a brilliant Machiavellian observer of society, but who also is a convoluted, ethical paradox, a Ferengi with more "human" foibles than any other character on the series. I was able to catch up with Armin Shimerman on the tail end of the Star Trek Seattle convention last week. We had a frank chat about how he started out with Star Trek, his Antaeus theater company in Los Angeles, and what his varied acting experience has meant to him over the years.
As a teenager, Shimerman was a fan of the original series when it originally aired, and would sit home on Wednesday nights to see all the episodes. He continued to watch the shows in syndication as he grew older. In the early 1980s, Shimerman was doing a television show called "Beauty and the Beast." The shooting of Star Trek: The Next Generation had just begun at that point. He was offered a very small role on Star Trek: The Next Generation, that of a "gift box face" in the " Haven" episode for Marina Sirtis's character, Counselor Troi. Shimerman recalls that there was a conflict between the day he was needed to shoot on The Next Generation and the day they needed him to shoot on Beauty and the Beast. Since he was a huge Star Trek fan, he told his agent that he wanted to do the one day on The Next Generation, but his agent was nonplussed, and suggested Shimerman take the Beauty and the Beast gig, because that was his regular paycheck and Star Trek was a one-time situation, or so he thought.
Shimerman told his agent that he was a big fan of the show and that he really wanted to do Star Trek. He told Beauty and the Beast he couldn't make it, and did his one day on The Next Generation on "Haven." Two weeks later, the producers were looking for short character actors to play Ferengi on The Next Generation. The producers had just worked with Shimerman, and this was the one show that didn't cancel actors out if they had worked on the show before. When actors first do a role, most shows will make them wait a minimum of four years (if they go that long) before they offer them another role. Because of the role's makeup, they didn't have that problem on The Next Generation. Shimerman ended up being one of the first four Ferengi. And that eventually led to his performing the role of "Quark" on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
I asked Shimerman about the richly developed character of "Quark" on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – how much was the writers and how much was Armin Shimerman. Initially, he had little input, as the writers wrote what the character did, how he spoke and what his reactions to things were. Most actors would agree. On any TV show, writers eventually begin writing for the actors playing the parts. The complex qualities of Quark's ethos most likely came from Shimerman first, he tells me. The writers began to write those qualities into Quark because he had those qualities to begin with. Shimerman concedes that he can't pinpoint, of course, what the demarcation is between his inspiration and that of the writers — most likely a combination of the both.
Shimerman recalls the great project of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, of how was overjoyed to be on a Star Trek show, considering what a big fan he is. He also felt that he had won the lottery when he became a series regular on a TV show, which, in Hollywood, is a stroke of good luck. He soon became aware of the enormous talents of the writers and the actors within a couple of months of being on the project. He had landed in a Star Trek show, and what appeared to be the best of the Star Trek television series. As far as his own character's development, he feels too close to his character to make any comparisons between him and other characters. Without hesitation, Shimerman tells me that "our show is far and away the best of them," acknowledging that his answer is prejudiced, and adds, "but I believe that I could go toe-to-toe with anybody else and make that argument."
Shimerman is a true professional on set. He comes to deliver his performance well, and has concern that others feel centered and relaxed enough to be able to deliver the same quality performance on the set. Shimerman tells me that he grew up in the theater and in television, and in both those mediums he had the good fortune to have older actors treat him kindly, fairly and nurturing when he was in the guest star's shoes, just appearing as a small part in a play, or in a one-day part in a TV show or film. He tells me he had incredible role models who were kind, gracious, outgoing and supportive. He told himself that if he ever got in that situation, he wanted to be like them. It was a way of not only being gracious, but it was also selfish, he says. By doing that, when they were kind to him, he felt at ease and did the very best performance he could give. And so the actors got a better actor to work with, because he was taken care of. The opposite is true for Shimerman. When he is not made to feel at home on a set, he shuts down and gives a performance that he doesn't care about. It was always his intent to make as many people as content on the set as he could, to pay back the people who had been nice to him and for them all together to give the very best performance for the project that they could. That included not only caring about their personal needs, but also offering opportunities for the guest stars to run their lines, offering to explain anything and offering help to explain to them what the show was all about. Shimerman recalls the confusion the guest stars faced on the set –
"Because after all, walking on to the promenade of Deep Space Nine, it is like being shuttled to a different existence altogether. There was nothing familiar as far as props, as far as a set … faces …
The actors' confusion was especially true on Deep Space Nine, which was "a huge make-up show." Shimerman recalls, "There were so many people in makeup, and so much disorientation," adding, "and it's disorienting to step on to a stage when you are there for the first time, even without makeup." To do that with all the distraction evident everywhere, Shimerman made it his mission to make people as relaxed on the set as possible so they could get over the hump of being nervous.
Shimerman agrees that he is continuing the great mythology of Star Trek with Deep Space Nine, and is a part of the continuum of Trek mythology that people the world over already subscribe to. Shimerman says, of the Trek mythos,
"It is the myth of our modern times. I feel honored to be part of that. And, if I'm the Loki character in this mythology, then I feel very honored to be part of that.
Shimerman likes what he does and it's connection to mythology, but uses the plural "we do" and "our connection" when pointing to the collective contribution of the community of actors in his answer to me. The standard vision of mythology is that people sat around fires in ancient times, and they listened to older, wiser people tell stories about the gods, the heroes and the villains. They instructed a new generation of people in learning about the world. Shimerman tells me that if he is part of that, then he has made a major contribution as an artist — that is what artists all try to do.
Shimerman helps run a theater in North Hollywood, The Antaeus Company, where he is the associate artistic director, and his wife, Kitty Swink, the co-associate artistic director. They are both on the board of Antaeus, whose primary interest is in doing classical plays, but does occasionally produce modern plays.
Theater is what he has always felt "most comfortable" in, Shimerman says. "Theater is what I believe must be continued. And it's constantly being attacked by the inroads of television, film, games — all things that are not convincing new people to come and sit in the theater. I believe the most visceral, the most exciting experience you can have is watching a play unfold right in front of you, and the connection, the relationship between the audience and the actors is primary — much more than in any other medium."
Theater is important to Shimerman because it moves people, and he adds,
"Aristotle says that the actor's contribution to society is that he undergoes catharsis for the society, and the society experiences catharsis through the actor, and so feels better about themselves and learns something about themselves and about the world. I believe that we can do that better through the medium of theater than through any other medium.
He agrees that it [catharsis] does happen in other mediums. That people do see TV shows and films and they get moved and they think, but he thinks it happens more often in the theater than in any place else.
Shimerman remains extremely busy with various projects. He just finished directing a production of The Crucible. The directors deconstructed the play as presentational theater. For many of the scenes, the actors were talking to each other by looking at the audience. The actors said their lines, related, did everything they would normally do as actors, except they couldn't really see the people they were speaking to. They could see the other actors in their minds, but they could not see them. Although the actors were standing right next to the other actors, they couldn't see them. The nature of the play, with it's didactic exploration of the Salem Witch Trials and also the [House] Un-American Activitites Committee became much more visceral with the audience, and the theater reached people in a very strange way by doing it this way, he says.
Shimerman has no other directorial projects on his plate just now, nor any theater projects as an actor. He continues his projects as a producer at Antaeus with their upcoming production of Pierre Corneille's The Liar, which is currently in rehearsal and will be opening in a few weeks.
As far as performance, Shimerman has been a voice in several games. One franchise that he has been involved in is Ratchet and Clank, whose Doctor Nefarious character, voiced by Shimerman, will be reprised in an animated film. He is not looking forward to loosing his voice, which is what happens, he says, when he does the Doctor Nefarious character. Shimerman is looking forward to "getting into that character's head one more time."

Routine Eye Exams Ensure Optimal Eye Health
A common misconception about eye exams is that they're only for people who have vision problems, but the truth is that they're for everyone. Eye appointments aren't just about filling your prescription; they're also about maintaining healthy eyes.
Testing Your Eye Health
If you think that all your optometrist does is say, "Which one is better? One, or two?" then you're misinformed. Remember the puff of air and the bright lights in your eyes? These are all a part of not only looking at your vision quality but also evaluating your eye health.
An eye care specialist spends years in training to learn how to spot eye issues, and they tend to get very good at it and can check your eyes quickly.
That's why you might think they're doing nothing more than placing lenses over your eyes, when in reality they're checking every aspect of your eye health. There are many conditions that you may not even know you have, but with a full examination, you can catch these issues early, truly making eye exams for everyone.
Eye Health Tests
Throughout your eye examination, there are several things that an eye doctor looks for. Some of the most common tests that help look at your eye health include:
- Glaucoma screening, often done with a pulse of air that measures your eye pressure.
- Eye health tests, where the doctor looks into your eyes with a light to help spot abnormalities.
- Eye muscle test, where you follow an object with your eyes.
- Color test, where you look at pictures and tell the doctor the number that you see.
Schedule Your Appointment
No matter if you have good vision or not, scheduling an eye exam is crucial for helping spot eye issues early and for treating them, so schedule an eye exam today with a licensed professional to make sure that your eyes are still in good health.

Columnists often fall into familiar patterns. For E.J. Dionne Jr., one of those patterns goes like this: if conservatives don't act like liberals they're not really conservatives. The latest example of this writing tic can be found in E.J.'s column today, in which he argues that the conservative Justices on the Supreme Court should – if they're really and truly conservative – find an unconstitutional law to be constitutional.
There are some amusing elements to Dionne's column, including his new-found concern about "a judicial dictatorship." I'm delighted the scales have fallen from Dionne's eyes, that he has embraced with passionate intensity the belief that "legislative power is supposed to rest in our government's elected branches" and not with the judiciary. But I'm tempted to point out that a columnist who heretofore has been enchanted with the idea of a "living Constitution" – rootless, ever-evolving, with no fixed meaning, that is busy inventing new rights and jettisoning old ones – has lost the philosophical ground on which to make this objection (particularly when his objections are in fact baseless). Dionne also says that "conservative justices were obsessed with weird hypotheticals" – yet he fails to realize those "weird hypotheticals" served their purpose perfectly. They illustrated that there is no limiting principle for liberals when it comes to the power and reach of the federal government. (For more, see here.)
But the most revealing thing about Dionne's column is its tone: snide, angry, and condescending toward the conservatives on the Court. It is evidence that he and other progressives are beginning to lash out as they see Barack Obama's health care law – an unworkable, unconstitutional monstrosity they were convinced was a permanent part of the American political landscape – slip through their fingers. If that in fact occurs – and I'll believe it when I see it – then prepare for a level of rage from the left that we haven't seen since the worst days of Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Monday morning Daticons
I opened my Daily Candy Seattle email this morning (a lovely daily email service that sends out events, restaurants openings, new designers, etc. for the city you live in), and found a cute list they had created of "sexicons," or what I think are more aptly named "daticons." I thought they were kind of fun and witty and a great lighthearted way to start off the week on this sunshiny day in Seattle. I know I've done my fair share of dateorading and sintercoursing. In fact, my it's my roommate's favorite joke to refer to me as a vibraider. How about you? Any other favorite daticons you and your friends use? [Read More]
Fun with Past Relationships

Last weekend I was stuck at home after the passes were closed, and my getaway to a cabin in Eastern Washington slipped away right in front of my eyes. Luckily, my roommate was hosting a Bachelorette party at our apartment with hors d'oeuvres, wine and sex toys. (She threw a Pure Romance party for the bride.)

Search around the house for your "singlefiers"
I recently started reading It's Kinda Like the Skinny Jeans, a blog written by another single gal in Seattle. There, I found a post from Gawker.com, about "singlefiers" in women's apartments, or rather, signs in a woman's home that she is single and unlaid (at least on a regular basis, I might add). So, of course I had to check the list to deny–or confirm?!–just how cliche my singlehood may be: Overflowing shoe rack and nothing in the fridgeCheck and check. Well, not an empty fridge, but a fridge jam-packed(!) with condiments and nothing much to eat. I should add that I have an overflowing freezer. I do like to eat and cook at home, it's just so impossible to cook and shop for one without having three-fourths of the ingredients nonperishable.

An Event in the Stairwell
May 2, 2012 | by Clancy Martin
The Milan Review—or, to give it its proper title, The Milan Review of the Universe—is an egregiously handsome literary magazine published in English, in Milan, under the editorship of the improbably named Tim Small. The second issue includes work by some of our own favorites, among them Amie Barrodale, Chiara Barzini, Francesco Pacifico, Lynne Tillman, and, not least, Clancy Martin, whose story the Milanese have kindly let us reprint below, in a spirit of international fraternità, and in light of the patchy trans-Atlantic distribution that our two journals have in common. Auguri! —Lorin Stein
Randy knocked on my door and when I opened it I expected he would attack me with the tennis racket in his hand. I had only bought pot from him before. He had no reason to hate me. But in his mind I am a rich white person.
"Emily's not home," I said. Emily is my girlfriend and I suspect, though do not know, that she has had sex with Randy at least once, or perhaps lots of times. He is younger and lither than I am. Probably better hung.
"She's not home?"
"Right." I kept my eyes on the racket. Also on his eyes, because you can anticipate a blow that way. Everyone narrows his eyes and looks where he's going to hit you before he strikes. This is the first lesson of boxing.
"She promised she'd buy this racket from me. I got this racket special. From my daughter."
Randy, Emily had told me, had a high school–age daughter who was expected by many people to be the next Serena Williams. She lived with her mother in the Bronx and was sponsored by Puma. I noticed the tennis racket had a broken string. Emily was hiding in the bedroom all this time and had instructed me to tell Randy that she was out. I could not decide whether that was reassuring or suspicious.
Emily had had her infidelities.
"How much does she owe you for the racket?"
I took the racket from his hand which he gave me without hesitation, although he looked down and away from me when he said, "Thirty dollars," which meant he was lying. Probably he had told her he would give her the racket for free. But who knew what more tangible price she had promised to pay. Perhaps eagerly.
I briefly considered beating Randy on the face, head and shoulders with the very light and surely durable racket. We have tile in our stairwell and blood would mop up easily without staining. Randy was not the type to come back with a gun. That would be the last we'd ever see of him. I should have done it. Read More »
Revel Yell
April 12, 2012 | by Sadie Stein
When people hear that one works at The Paris Review, they often assume it's a glamorous affair: parties, champagne, stories of the magazine's early days in France, and famous writers as far as the eye can see. Last Tuesday, they were right.
The Spring Revel isn't just our big fund-raiser. It's also a chance for the old guard to meet the new kids and vice versa. This year, former editor Mona Simpson presented newcomer Amie Barrodale with the Plimpton Prize, and young Adam Wilson—winner of the Terry Southern Prize for humor—paid tribute to Southern himself. Robert Silvers, now in his fiftieth year helming The New York Review of Books, was toasted by the freshest face in the magazine business: Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes, who bought The New Republic a month ago. Zadie Smith described what it's like being a new kid at The New York Review, and Bob remembered being a new kid under George Plimpton. Read More »
Amie Barrodale Wins Plimpton Prize; Adam Wilson Wins Terry Southern Prize for Humor
March 13, 2012 | by The Paris Review
On Tuesday, April 3, The Paris Review will honor two of our favorite young writers.
Amie Barrodale will receive the Review's Plimpton Prize for "Wiliam Wei," which appeared in our Summer issue.
Adam Wilson will receive the second Terry Southern Prize for Humor for his story "What's Important Is Feeling" and his contributions to The Paris Review Daily.
The Plimpton Prize for Fiction is a $10,000 award given to a new voice published in The Paris Review. The prize is named for the Review's longtime editor George Plimpton and reflects his commitment to discovering new writers of exceptional merit. The winner is chosen by the Board of the Review. This year's prize will be presented by Mona Simpson.
The Terry Southern Prize for Humor is a $5,000 award recognizing wit, panache, and sprezzatura in work published by The Paris Review or online by the Daily. Perhaps best known as the screenwriter behind Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider—and the subject of an interview in issue 200!—Terry Southern was also a satirical novelist, a pioneering New Journalist, and a driving force behind the early Paris Review. Comedian David Cross will present this year's award.
The honoree of this year's Revel is Robert Silvers. Zadie Smith will present Silvers with the 2012 Hadada, the Review's lifetime achievement award recognizing a "strong and unique contribution to literature." Previous recipients of the Hadada include James Salter, John Ashbery, Joan Didion, Norman Mailer, Peter Matthiessen, George Plimpton (posthumously), Barney Rosset, Philip Roth, and William Styron.
Come help us celebrate our honorees and our two hundredth issue—and support the Review. Buy your Revel tickets now!

The Summer Issue: Six Questions for Amie Barrodale
June 15, 2011 | by Sadie Stein
In Amie Barrodale's "William Wei," the eponymous narrator enters into an unusual relationship over the phone with a woman who claims to have met him at a party. What follows, as he says, "changed my life." Barrodale took the time to answer a few questions.
How would you characterize your work?
When people ask me what kind of things I write, I just say I write stories. I don't know what else to say.
The details of this story feel real. What inspired it?
I met someone who did this to me. Or something similar.
Your fiction seems to deal frequently with questions of human disconnection.
Disconnection, yes. I don't know why. I find disconnection painful and very, very emotional, so I like to try to write about it. You can't boil it down or sum it up. You can only describe it.
A Google search tells me "William Wei" is "the Video Producer for Business Insider," "Professor of Statistics at Temple University," and a professor of surgery. Coincidence?
The names came from nowhere but later I learned that Wei, in addition to being a surname, means "who are you?" in Chinese. Or I read that somewhere. I hope it's true. It's also a greeting for the phone, Wei.
What writers are you into these days? Who are you reading now?
I really like the stories Donald Antrim has been writing in The New Yorker lately. I love V. S. Naipaul and the novel Pitch Dark by Renata Adler. I also love Wong Kar-Wai, and I just now found, through your guys' recommendation, Chris Marker. I'm traveling so I'm not reading; my suitemate took the book I brought, and I'm a little embarrassed to say what it was.
What are you working on?
I'm working on a novel, but I'm a little superstitious and yesterday a tarot card reader told me not to discus my idea—someone might take it. I mean, it was a friend with a deck of those cards. I would have discounted it, except that she was the second friend with cards to tell me that, about this book, so …

The Summer Issue: Redefining the Beach Read Since 1953
June 15, 2011 | by Sadie Stein
The living is easy—and it's time for our summer issue! Whether you're on the beach, in transit, or just enjoying the long days at home, this is an issue to get lost in: find fiction by Jonathan Lethem, Amie Barrodale, and David Gates and the continuing story of Roberto Bolaño's lost novel The Third Reich, with original illustrations by Leanne Shapton.
Big news: For the first time, readers can buy a digital version of The Paris Review—for easy access anytime, anywhere. TPR digital can be read on your iPad, laptop, or mobile device. It's cheap, it's easy, and it's instant gratification!
If, like us, you still enjoy a little sand between the pages of your beach-house reading, buy a subscription to the paper magazine—and get a Paris Review beach towel!* (We'd tell you to tuck it into a TPR tote, but that might sound pushy.)
From the summer issue:
An expansive interview with William Gibson:
What was more important was to name [my landscape] something cool, because it was never going to work unless it had a really good name. So the first thing I did was sit down with a yellow pad and a Sharpie and start scribbling—infospace, dataspace. I think I got cyberspace on the third try, and I thought, Oh, that's a really weird word. I liked the way it felt in my mouth—I thought it sounded like it meant something while still being essentially hollow.
A frank interview with Samuel R. Delany:
Finding time to work is the main problem … You write a decent book, and you're hired as a creative-writing teacher. The next thing you know, you're director of the program, which basically means you get less time in class and more administration, which nobody likes, so that you can hardly write anything anymore.
