Tekisuijuku (滴水塾): A History of a Name
Established in the Fall Semester of 1985, the Tekisuijuku (滴水塾) serves as the center for Japanese studies on the Whitman College campus. It also serves as a home for students interested in speaking Japanese and learning more about Japanese culture. In the spring of 1984, a group of Japanese language students worked with Professor Takemoto to petition the administration to establish a house devoted to Japanese studies. The petition was approved and everyone referred to the new residence hall as the "Japanese House." However, the name sounded a bit strange. So, just before the opening of classes in the 1988-1989 academic year, Professor Takemoto placed a small wooden sign next to the door of the Otis Street House that identified it as Shōfūan (松風庵 or "The Wind in the Pines Hut"). In the world of the Japanese tea ceremony, the term "wind in the pines" remembers the sound of the water boiling in the kettle; it also serves as a reminder that beauty in life often appears in places normally shunned or in things that people consider as slight and insignificant. The name, suggests, too, the life of a scholarly, poet and hermit in a modest hut, renouncing secular pursuits and awakening a profound compassion for other people and beings who share a similarly austere existence.
Molly Luna ('91) and Debra Horton ('91) hold up the new "Tekisuijuku" sign written by Professor Gadjin Nagao. On the right is Mitsuhiro Matudaira, the native speaker. Kneeling in front is Mayako Takemoto and Ayako. (May, 1989)
This sign, however, disappeared during the winter of 1988, before this name became officially recognized. In May of 1989, Professor Takemoto's father-in-law, Gadjin Nagao (Professor Emeritus of Kyoto University) visited Walla Walla on his way back to Kyoto after spending a semester as a Visiting Professor of Buddhism at the University of Calgary. When he heard that the original sign had disappeared from the "Japanese House," he suggested that the house be renamed "Tekisuijuku."
Learning that the name Walla Walla could be understood as "many small rivers," Professor Nagao suggested the use of the word "Tekisui" (滴水 or "drops of water falling into pools and small streams"). Tekisui echoes the name of a garden located in front of a famous tea room on the grounds of Nishi Honganji, the headquarters of Shinshū Buddhism in Japan. This tea room and pavilion has close connections with the Yabunouchi School of Tea which represents the style of tea that Professor Takemoto practices and teaches; and the Nishi Honganji is the temple where Professor Takemoto was ordained as a Buddhist priest. The word "Juku" (塾) refers to a residence or place devoted to "studying." Professor Nagao named the house and wrote the characters on a wooden sign now preserved inside the Tekisuijuku. A new sign written by the calligrapher Fujii Yoshiyasu will soon identify the house from the outside. Beginning the 2005 fall semester, Tekisuijuku residents will live in a new house on the corner of Stanton and University.

Grateful Dead
Greatest Stories Ever Told - "I Need A Miracle"
By David Dodd
I distinctly remember, when we heard that the Grateful Dead would be the musical guests on Saturday Night Live, back in 1978, discussing with my roommates what we could expect in the way of song selection for the show. Would they do a selection of "greatest hits" ("Truckin'," "Uncle John's Band…") or would they go for surprises? I predicted they would play their latest attempt at a top-40-friendly song, "I Need a Miracle," from the just-released "Shakedown Street" LP. And yes, they did play a greatest hit—"Casey Jones," but they also played "I Need a Miracle."
Seemed like a future "greatest hit" to me! It had a big, catchy hook, and a memorable refrain. It had hyperbole. It was rock and roll.
That album, "Shakedown Street," produced a few tunes with staying power in the ongoing live repertoire, most notably, of course, the title track, which turned into something really special. But the over-the-top lyrics of "I Need a Miracle," along with what became a link to an ongoing tradition, has its own long-term appeal. And it, too, stayed in permanent rotation through the duration of their career, with the longest hiatus in performance being a 43-show gap from late summer 1982 to early summer 1983, for a total of 271 performances.
So: here's the plan—each week, I will blog about a different song, focusing, usually, on the lyrics, but also on some other aspects of the song, including its overall impact—a truly subjective thing. Therefore, the best part, I would hope, would not be anything in particular that I might have to say, but rather, the conversation that may happen via the comments over the course of time. With Grateful Dead lyrics, there's always a new and different take on what they bring up for each listener, it seems.
When I built the Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics website, I actually did not even bother to annotate "I Need a Miracle." It doesn't have much in the way of the kind of literary or historical references that are the bread and butter of annotations. Really, the lyrics seem to me to be something Barlow might have written to one-up the image of women in other Dead songs, notably in "Sugar Magnolia." Or it may have been an attempt to get away with the kind of sexism that doomed "Money Money" from the get-go.
"Miracle" seems light-hearted and self-aware—the character singing the song (and I do think it's a character singing, not the persona of Weir, or of Barlow…) seems to be making fun of himself. "I need a woman 'bout twice my weight…a ton of fun who packs a gun with all her other freight." I mean—what? And "It takes dynamite to get me up….too much of everything is just enough." A nice turn of phrase. The miraculous is synonymous with the excessive, the transcendent with the hyperbolic and overblown.
"I Need a Miracle" signs by Deadheads.
But, despite the sense of the lyrics on the face of it, what "Miracle" did was to put something into Grateful Dead culture, just by way of introducing the word: miracle. I wonder who the first Deadhead was who thought of making a sign saying "I need a miracle," and putting a finger in the air outside a show, asking for a ticket. But it soon became commonplace, and "miracle" became code for a last-minute, sometimes free ticket. I had the pleasure of giving out a miracle ticket a few times, and I have also received them, and it does feel miraculous, from both ends—giving and receiving.
Beyond that, though, and bigger, is how the word "miracle," in common use, gave us a way of thinking (and sometimes talking) about what went on onstage. Being open to something miraculous occurring in performance had always been a part of the Dead's playing. The X Factor, as it was sometimes called, was present when the music was playing the band. The idea of "needing a miracle every day" seems at first borderline ridiculous, but over time, maybe it seems less so, and even something to be expected. Certainly, from my own experience, the Dead delivered a miracle more often than not. And I became more open to finding the miraculous in daily life.
now that's just rude, to scalp your miracle ticket!
Indeed, even before the In the Dark era, which changed things a good deal, there were quite a few shows that were in such high demand and sold out so quickly (the Greek, the Frost, NYE, and assorted tour venues) that there were hordes of people who would regard the ability to buy a non-counterfeit ticket at full retail as a miracle. Always seemed that way to me, and it was always at such shows that I first saw people parading around with miracle signs. But it changed for sure.
lyrically "i need a miracle" has always been a contradiction to me. a contradiction in that the verses come across as a ridiculous story of "grateful dead (or insert any rock and roll band) excesses and extravagances" of the late 70's, i.e. - "we'll go into the book and break each and every law," "find her in a sideshow, leave her in L.A., ride her like a surfer on a tidal wave," and "it takes dynamite to get me up, too much of everything is just enough," and the chorus is an almost zen-like mantra that can be muttered to oneself in moments of synchronicity, where everything comes together seemingly spontaneously and just the way it needed to for things to work out.
i guess over time the mantra of the chorus is what shined through as the important message, and the verses could be glossed over while dancing one's ass of to this rollicking and rocking number. i would recommend to any who haven't heard them to check out the ones played in the fall of '78 - specifically from the "from eqypt with love" shows in oct of '78 at the winterland, and the one from new year's '78 is awesome as well - not coincidentally they both feature Lee Oskar on the harmonica.
in a community of people who either actively seek explanations for the moments of synchronicity, or who are just aware enough to recognize them, the chorus to this song is kind of a perfect summation of those moments.
that being said, i have no idea when it turned into a polite way to ask for a $20 ticket to a $70 show, or just for a free ticket. as a post jerry head, that element had been there since day 1 for me, and i just accepted it as part of the scene. i understand not being able to get into a show or two and trying, but to never buy a ticket at full price to support the band that you claim to love so that they can afford to put on the shows that i, and many others, go to at every chance we get, doesn't make any sense to me. in fact the ticket-less hordes who wander parking lots in search of a freebie are a drain on the scene to me - i don't like feeling like people are looking at me like i'm a "sucker custie," and not a true head because i'm not driving hours without a ticket to the show.
i would recommend checking out the film "festival express" to anyone who hasn't seen it. there's a scene in it where jerry is talking about the frustration of dealing with crowds who think that all these shows should be for free, and for the people, even though it costs the bands and the promoters a lot of money to put the shows on. so the ticket-less hordes existed as far back as 1970.
also, one last thing before i go. a cautionary tale of handing out miracles to shows in this modern age. last april on the first night of Furthur's run at the Beacon Theatre, during the setbreak my friend and are chatting with the guy who's sitting next to us. he tells us that he is frustrated because some dude was escorted to the empty seat next to him, he asked the guy where he got the ticket, and he said "some girl sold it to him for $80 outside." turns out the dude my friend and i had been talking to had miracled the ticket to a girl outside, and instead of coming into the show, she went and sold it for cash. the following night, i had an extra ticket and sold it for face value only to see the guys i sold the ticket to re-selling it later for a higher price. no good deed goes unpunished
I was a big fan of SNL and never missed a show (well, at least until Belushi and Ackroyd left). I had yet to get into the Dead so I knew very little about them other than the standard radio airplay. When they finished up the song and went to commercial break I was struck by the exhuberance and enthusiasm the studio audience displayed! It was an appreciation above and beyond what you would expect from your average rock n' roll fans and definitely sounded like the folks there were having a real good time, geez it almost sounded like a zoo! Little did I realize....
Only once have I ever 'miracled' anyone and that instance was purely unintentional. Y'see, this one time while heading to the front gate, I was re-arranging the contents of my pockets to make them frisk-worthy and I dropped my ticket. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!) So, if any of you folks out there ever found a ticket on the ground in the parking lot at Hershey '85, I just wanna say, 'you're welcome'.
another take on "keep on truckin" resilience in the face of cosmic adversity
According to Archive, it was played once with lyrics on 2-21-95 in Salt Lake city.
I just think its interesting that I can still find songs that GD played maybe once or twice. I just recently got Dicks Picks 35 which has Pigpens "Empty Pages," which is awesome and also in the book. Is it a miracle that those houseboat tapes lasted that long?
I would love to hear more of your story as time goes by.
For what it's worth, that song became our theme song as cooks when we were jammin on the line and needed a "Bud" brake. Through 33 shows I only got a this song a couple of times. I remember face value for a ticket being the norm till about 86 when the scalpers starting catching on to the scene. Paid 90 bucks for a 3rd night show and swore I would never do that again and so far I have not. I have miracled a couple people bust mostly trade for goods.
Ol' Alice wasn't as snarky about the scene as was fashionable at the time, as I recall. She seemed to be making a good effort to be a nice tourist in our world.
I don't think any band rocked harder than the Dead on Miracle, especially early on in '78 and '79. I was a convert. I loved the late '78 tapes, I loved the Miracle > Shakedown from Springfield '79. The tune was just perfect for the times, the tours, the situation. It was clear by the mid 70s that the Dead would pull us along with them when few of their peers would or could. Crazy good times, and it's captured in one handy song.
Thanks, all, for the nice words of welcome. I plan to do my best to elicit our stories as they might relate to the songs. That's something I see as a rich vein to be mined. I know I have some stories...and already I see that the people who will read this blog have stories, too.
It's hard to follow in the footsteps of an amazing writer like Blair, who has been a major inspiration for me over the years. He has a way of communicating his love of the music, and of being an enthusiast, rather than a "critic," which I just love. So I will be pretty much in the way of an enthusiast.
Some specific responses:
mustin321: I will just say, about SLC, that I don't THINK (and I don't have my source material handy...) that the Dead actually ever performed the song as a song--I know they did the instrumental, but did they ever actually sing the lyrics in a GD show? That was kind of a requirement for the Annotated Lyrics.
Someone asked me offline if I will take requests for particular songs to be featured. Definitely!!! That would be a big help for me, actually. Right now, I am only planning about one song ahead.
Mary E: Remember "Police on a joy ride"? Of course you do.
Shady Backflash: What a nice post! Pretty much gets it for me--in terms of having an ongoing sense of wonder. That is core to my way of being in the world, and the Dead get a good portion of the credit.
Keep the comments, personal stories, and questions coming!
Really excited that you are picking up right where Mr. Jackson left off. I read you annotated lyric book almost on a daily basis while listening to GD.
P.S. I never got an answer back as to why Salt Lake City was not included in the annotated lyric book?

By Josh Brown / The Tennessean
Tennessee law enforcement officials who claimed grocery and convenience stores do a poorer job of following alcohol laws than liquor stores couldn't back that up with statistics on Thursday.
More than 100 sheriffs and police chiefs across the state signed a petition expressing their concerns about a measure that would allow wine in grocery and convenience stores. Seventeen of them discussed those concerns with reporters on Wednesday. Two who signed the petition acknowledged later they based their assertions on anecdotal evidence.
"I can't give you an exact number or a percentage because I'm not that well-versed on it," said Belle Meade Police Chief Tim Eads.
"Our general feel as law enforcement officers has been - a high volume alcohol is regulated a little tighter. An 18- or a 19-year-old walks into a liquor store, they're going to cause immediate suspicion."
Eads said he doesn't have any liquor stores or convenience stores in his jurisdiction in Belle Meade but bases his observations on years working as an officer in Dickson County.
"It's easier to sneak out with a bottle of Mad Dog or a bottle of wine than a six-pack of beer," he said.
The media conference came as lawmakers looked ahead at issues expected to be debated in the legislative session. Previous measures to allow grocery and convenience stores to sell wine have had little success making it out of committees in recent sessions.
The media event was organized by Nashville-based Seigenthaler Public Relations, which represents the Tennessee Wine and Spirits Retailers Association. A spokesman acknowledged the public relations firm helped gather law enforcement signatures for the petition.
Kent Syler, a political science professor at Middle Tennessee State University, said the measure to allow food stores to sell wine has been gaining momentum in recent years.
"Whether or not it's gained enough to pass the legislature is hard to tell," he said. "I think proponents of grocery store sales will probably help their cause with legislation that allows for local referendums on the issue. A local referendum will offer legislators some political cover and might help attract more votes in the legislature."
After The Tennessean's request for data, the head of the Tennessee Grocers & Convenience Store Association also called on the police group to produce evidence to back its claim.
"I didn't see any statistics that they provided that showed any correlation between sales at our stores and any detriment to alcohol-related issues," said Jarron Springer, president of the grocers group. "We respect those law enforcement officials but, again, didn't see any evidence."
He said his group supported a 2006 law that required convenience and grocery stores to check identification for beer sales.
A look at alcohol-related arrests found little correlation between selling wine in grocery stores and increased crime. In 2011, for example, Tennessee had approximately 835 arrests per 100,000 residents for drunken driving, drunkenness and liquor law violations. Georgia, South Carolina, West Virginia and Ohio posted a lower arrest rate per capita, while North Carolina and Virginia had a higher rate, according to FBI data.
Madison County Sheriff David Woolfork, who signed the petition, said convenience stores are often the biggest offenders of selling alcohol to people under 21.
According to data provided by the Jackson-Madison County Metro Narcotics Unit, that county's enforcement operations found, since 2009, 59 retailers have been cited for selling alcohol to underage people out of 258 retailers checked. The figures did not distinguish among outlets.
"The package stores - they tend to do a better job of policing themselves," he said. "They don't have near the turnover rate that you have in a lot of convenience stores. That's my opinion based on observation."

Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Reger Dowell erupted for 37 points as he helped lead the Mavericks of Texas-Arlington to an 80-73 win over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in Sun Belt Conference action at College Park Center.
Dowell converted 10-of-22 shots from the floor and was 15-of-18 at the free- throw line, adding six rebounds and three steals in 34 minutes of work for the Mavericks (13-15, 8-8 SBC) as they posted a second win in three games. Brandon Edwards registered a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds for the hosts as well.
The Hilltoppers (19-10, 11-5) were paced by T.J. Price with 17 points off the bench, followed by fellow reserve Brandon Harris with 14 points, although the latter shot just 2-of-9 from the floor. Starters Trency Jackson, Caden Dickerson and George Fant each tallied 11 points as WKU saw a two-game win streak come to an end.
Of the 14 field goals made by WKU in the first half, eight came from 3-point range, affording the team a 42-32 advantage at the break. UTA converted only 3-of-11 beyond the arc through the first 20 minutes.
In the second half the Hilltoppers fell to only 2-of-12 on the perimeter and made good on just 9-of-18 at the free-throw line, allowing the Mavericks to battle back and take the win at home.
The difference in the game took place at the charity stripe where the Mavs outscored the visitors by a 22-15 margin.

Storm shelters are now ready for use at one local school district just in time for tornado season.
The Arkoma School District in LeFlore County, Okla., has water tanks transformed into storm shelters ready to be used.
"The architect told me these would withstand an EF-5 tornado," said Arkoma Supt. John Turner. "We feel very confident our students will be very safe here."
Turner said the six tanks cost $16,000.
"It's different," said Turner.
Turner estimated the total construction cost around $100,000.
"This is going to save some lives," said Turner. "It's something that benefits the whole community."
The six shelters hold 500 people. For the small town of Arkoma, Turner said that's a big boost of security.
"Normal protocol was just to get in the hallway and crouch down," said parent Mandy Lewis. "It just puts a little more peace to mind to know that we have somewhere to go."
At first, plans were in place to build an above-ground safe room, but with finances tight, the district decided to take a different route.
"A storm shelter, the one at the elementary, would have cost half a million dollars," said Turner. "We thought it would be a good investment if it's going to save that many lives."
The school said the storm shelters are open to the public.

Health Check for Our Nation
In a report published last year the U.S. National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM), two relatively conservative organizations, reviewed our Nation's health from an international perspective.
We did not fare well. Over the past 40 years we have slipped from being one of the healthiest countries to ranking below that of 17 comparably developed countries. Among these countries we have the highest rate of infant mortality and second highest rate of AIDS and ischemic heart disease (blockage of the blood vessels that supply the heart). We also had higher rates of adverse birth outcomes, obesity in children and adults, adult diabetes, chronic lung disease, and sexually transmitted illnesses, and we lose more years of life to drugs prone to abuse. We also have a higher incidence of injuries from motor vehicle accidents and violence. In a study done in 2009 we ranked 28th among other nations in the expected longevity of persons over the age of 50.
In the past, in spite of efforts to develop a national public health system, and in spite of clear evidence that significant social class differences were a prominent factor in determining health, much of the blame for poor health was placed on the behavior of individuals. However, a study in 2006 comparing the health of American and English citizens found that, although both had a significant social health gradient (that is, the general health of the poorest was significantly worse than the general health of the richest), those Americans in the top social bracket fared worse than their English counterparts. This was in spite of the fact that those at the top of our socioeconomic ladder had easy access to the best health care our country had to offer and we, as a nation, paid a greater share (17.9 percent) of our gross domestic product (GDP) for medical care in 2011 than any other developed country. In contrast, the average spent on health care by European Union countries in 2010 was 9 percent of the GDP and no other country spent more than 11 percent of its GDP on health care.

Kauai Trip report
My husband and I were in Kauai March 3-10 (perfect weather). We stayed on the North Shore. We had a place with a full kitchen so did not go out for all our meals. Foodland market in Princeville - OUCH! It is expensive. We ate at Postcards in Hanalei our first night and had a very good meal. They call themselves the best restaurant on the North Shore and it may be, but that is not saying too much as Kauai is definite not the foodie island. The delicious taro fritters and the limeade were the best things on the menu. The fish was pretty good - swordfish with some interesting pureed sides. I ordered the rice pilaf, but when it arrived it was Spanish rice which did not go with the sauce on the fish at all, so I asked for potatoes which were just ok, nothing special. Dessert was a really good carrot cake that had coconut in it. We also ate at the Hanalei Dolphin which has good fresh fish and is less pricey than Postcards, but pretty touristy. We also ate at Kintaro on the East Shore (south of Kapa'a) which is a really good Japanese restaurant with pretty good prices, very popular. Another favorite dining experience was the Shrimp Station in Waimea on the West Side (we stopped on the way back from Waimea Canyon), which others on this board have commented on, that had the best coconut shrimp I have ever tasted and supposedly everything on the menu is great. Jo-Jo's Shave ice is just around the corner and you can sit on the pier at the beach and eat up that delicious treat. We also ate at the Bakery/Pizza place in Kailuea and the pizza was tasty and great desserts, but $22 for a medium pizza - ouch. Our last meal on the island was at the Hanalei Cafe at the Princeville resort. Which has a pretty good deal of your choice of any three appetizer, entree and dessert & coffee or tea for $58. My husband did not want dessert and was able to get tow appetizers. The appetizer I ordered was crab cakes ($14) and they were heavenly and I had the fish special which was a curry crusted opakapaka, veggies and rice ($33) and I had their special chocolate cake with homemade vanilla bean ice cream and a whole pile of sliced strawberries ($14) - so that was a good deal. They do get you with the over priced cocktails though. We sat on the terrace overlooking "Bali Hai" and Hanalei Bay as the sun set (you don't actually see the sun set on the North Shore). It was a magical evening (watch out for mosquitoes though).
Sorry to hear that the Bali Hai mosquitos struck again. I think they're infamous.
Next time you're on island and looking for other options, consider Tropical Taco in Hanalei for lunch, Kilauea Fish Market for killah wraps, Papaya's Market and Cafe in Kapa'a for vegetarian and vegan, Mermaid's Cafe in Kapa'a for everything tasty and well-priced, Blossoming Lotus in Kapa'a for dinner (even if you're not vegetarian), and Windward Market in Kapa'a for fresh fish and meat, awesome catering possibilities, or even take out to eat at their picnic tables or on the beach. These places aren't mentioned much by Kauai travelers so I thought I'd add them to the list of options to consider.
re: goofygamine
I 2nd Blossoming Lotus (and their other restaurant down the street). My bf and I went there during our trip to Kauai and I was plesently surprised by how good the food was, even though its vegan/vegetarian. Especially their corn bread----we bought like 5 extra pieces to take back to our hotel and ate it in 1 day.

COLUMBIA CITY — Police from both Columbia City and the Whitley County Sheriff's Department converged on a Columbia City home late Wednesday afternoon in hopes of nabbing a fugitive wanted on several drug charges.
According to Whitley County Sheriff Mark Hodges, a call was received at 5:22 p.m. from residents at Camden Drive in Columbia City that someone matching the description of Travis Wonderly, 21, driving a brown car, was pulling into the garage at 730 Camden Dr.
Wonderly has been charged, along with his 36-year-old girlfriend Janel Creech, with manufacturing methamphetamine and other drug-related charges in a case relating to the death of Creeech's five-month-old daughter Taylor Jan. 3 in Columbia City.
Hodges said this morning that police made entry to the home at 5:30 p.m. and within two minutes declared the residence empty.
Wonderly has been at large since he and Creech were both charged Jan. 7 with manufacturing methamphetamine, a Class B Felony, maintaining a common nuisance, a Class D Felony and possession of paraphernalia, a Class A Misdemeanor.
Police and emergency medical crews were called to the Creech/Wonderly residence on the morning of Jan. 3 where Taylor was rushed to Parkview Whitley Hospital and pronounced dead.
No charges have been filed in the baby's death, but as a result of the 911 call, police found evidence of a meth lab.
The residence was condemned by Indiana State Police and the Whitley County Health Department.
The death of Taylor Creech is still under investigation with a decision on whether or not to file charges in her death pending the results of toxicology tests from her autopsy, according to Whitley County Coroner Scott Smith who confirmed this morning toxicology reports had still not come back.
Creech was in court Tuesday morning and requested a public defender. She was assigned Brad Voelze.
Creech is being held at Whitley County Jail on $50,000 bond.
PLEASE please, we need some county patrols at round lake at tri-lakes. although i think the main culpret has loss his drivers lisence, the drugs are still there.
to bad we cant get the police to patrol around Round Lake at Tri-lakes, shouldnt take them long to bust more.

When a malaria-carrying mosquito bites a human host, the malaria parasite enters the bloodstream, multiplies in the liver cells, and is then released back into the bloodstream, where it infects and destroys red blood cells.
A mosquito becomes infected with malaria when it sucks the blood from an infected human. Once inside the mosquito, the parasites reproduce in the gut and accumulate in the salivary glands, ready to infect another human host with the next bite.
Bacteria can transfer genetic material, and thus drug resistance, to other bacteria via conjugation.

April 2008
The latest in golf equipment, instruction, training aids, apparel & more
Like an Oscar-winning movie, Boccieri Golf's newest line of putters isn't afraid to call itself heavy and deep. But golfers who use them won't be sobbing into their playing partners' shoulders anytime soon. (Although they may get an unexpected workout in the process.)
Steve Boccieri first introduced his Heavy Putter in 2005 and has been making people rethink how putters should feel ever since. The clubhead weighs an average of 100-200 grams more than conventional putters, and another 250-gram weight is added to the grip end (moving the balance point higher than traditional putters and the total weight to approximately 900 grams). Why add so much weight? Some think it's just to torture caddies, but we know it's to engage a golfer's larger muscles and help players achieve the desired pendulum effect. Also, thanks to added weight momentum on the forward stroke, the Heavy Putter prevents that unwanted split-second hesitation before impact—a hitch in the stroke that's better known as "the yips."
New for 2008 is Boccieri's Deep Face ("DF") Series ($169), which features five models that boast a putterface one-quarter inch higher than conventional putters, making it easier to align the equator of the golf ball with the putter's sweet spot. And more putts hit on the sweet spot mean more consistent accuracy and distance control. For more information, check out www.golftipsmag.com/ezlinks
Laser LinksModern-day use of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) technology is proliferating in golf training aids, helping golfers better see their alignment, swing path, setup and more. We picked five laser-assisted devices that, we have to admit, not only can help lower your score, but are also a hoot to experiment with.

The invention is an improvement in the construction of the sailboard portion of windsurfers wherein the usual hard-foam slab hull typical of surfboard construction is replaced by a slab of soft foam, the only rigid structure of the entire board being a pair of closely spaced fiberglass stringers longitudinally extended along the midline of the board, and mounts for the mast, daggerboard and fin, which mounts are sandwiched between the two longitudinal stringers which are embedded centrally in the soft foam slab.
1. A soft sailboard comprising an elongated soft foam slab, elongated longitudinally extending generally rigid support means embedded in said slab adjacent the longitudinal midline thereof, said support means comprising a pair of spaced parallel stringers extending for substantially the full length of said slab, said stringers having opposed planar surfaces, and a box-like mast mount insert disposed between and connected to said opposed planar surfaces of said stringers.
2. The sailboard of claim 1, and box-like daggerwell and fin channel inserts disposed between and connected to said opposed planar surfaces of said stringers.
3. The sailboard of claim 2, further comprising an impermeable skin encapsulating said slab, each of said inserts having at least one externally accessible opening and being provided with a continuous peripheral flange around each of said openings, said flanges being in overlapped sealing relation to said skin.
4. The sailboard of claim 3, said daggerwell insert comprising a pair of end-abutting half inserts defining an elongated slot-like opening extending completely through said slab, said fin channel and mast mount inserts being in the form of box-like enclosures which are accessible, respectively, from the bottom and top sides of said slab.
The invention is in the field of windsurfers. A windsurfer is a combination surfboard and sailboat basically comprising a conventional type surfboard, perhaps slightly oversized, with a mast universally pivoted generally centrally on top of the board. A rigid bow-like structure acts as sail boom as well as providing bilateral gripping capability to the operator.
Typically, the hull or board portion of the device, herein termed "sailboard", has been made with techniques identical to those utilized in surfboard construction, for example, rigid polyurethane foam covered with a hard fiberglass shell, or more recently, honeycomb construction techniques. Also, soft decks have been implemented over the rigid hull types described above.
The present invention is an extrapolation of construction trends beyond the soft deck to incorporate a completely soft sailboard body having only a pair of midline stringers running the length of the body to give it support. Although the stringers could be incorporated into a single longitudinal strut, it is convenient for the purposes of mounting inserts for the mast mount, daggerboard well and fin channel that the center support be provided as dual stringers to capture the above inserts therebetween for convenience of manufacture, strength and lightness.
The soft foam body is covered with an impermeable soft skin interrupted only where it is captured by the flanges of the daggerboard well, the mast and mount, and the fin channel.
FIG. 1 is a top elevation view of the sailboard showing hidden structure in phantom;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the board outlining the mast mount and daggerboard well in phantom;
FIG. 3 is a section taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a section taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a section taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a portion of the stringers illustrating the relation of the fin channel and mast mount halves to the longitudinal stringers; and
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the underside of the fin channel shown in isolation from the mounting stringers.
A sailboard having typical external contours is shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. Ordinarily, the entire structure shown in these figures would be made of a hard foam such as polyurethane and covered with fiberglass. In the instant invention the main body 10 of the sailboard is not rigid but is composed of a polyethylene type foam such as Ethafoam, a product of Dow Chemical. This foam is soft and yielding to the touch but nevertheless is form-retaining under a substantial amount of stress so that it is suitable for the body of the sailboard provided adequate support is provided for the mast, daggerboard well and fin channel and some longitudinal structural member is provided.
It would, of course, be possible to accommodate the need for a longitudinal structural support by providing a single midline strut defining at spaced intervals points of attachment for the mast, daggerboard and fin. The implementation of the instant invention, however, utilizes a pair of spaced stringers 12 which run virtually the entire length of the foam body 10 and are made of fiberglass or some other high-strength, resilient, and fairly lightweight material.
Captured between these spaced stringers is a mast mount element 14, positioned approximately centrally or slightly aft of center, between the two stringers. The mast mount defines a slot passing into the body 10 of the board from above as is shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, and accommodates a flat integral tongue on the bottom of mast 16 which by virtue of a solid hinge 18 permits universal pivoting of the mast relative to the sailboard as is typical of windsurfers.
The foam body 10 includes an external skin 20 of a flexible, impermeable sheet material which in the production embodiment is a product called Volan, produced by Voltek, a subsidiary of Sekisui Company of Japan. As can be seen in FIG. 4, the mast mount 14 is comprised of a closed-bottomed box which defines an upwardly accessible opening which is framed by a continuous peripheral flange 24. This flange is used to capture and finish off the edges of the skin 20 around the hole made in the soft body for the mast mount element. Any appropriate bonding technique is used to make the seal between the flange 24 and the skin 20 impermeable, and as suitable water-tight bonding is also used to adhere the mast mount 14 to the sides of the enclosing stringers 12, it can be seen that the water-tight integrity of the entire body 10 is maintained.
Stability in use is provided to the sailboard by daggerboard 26 shown in phantom in FIG. 2. This daggerboard seats in a daggerboard well 28, which is virtually identical to mast mount 14 although it is somewhat longer and passes completely through the body 10. Two mating halves 30 of this well, each defining an externally accessible opening flanged at 24, are shown in exploded form in FIG. 6 and are bonded to skin 20 and the stringers 12 in the same fashion as is the mast mount 14.
Finally, spaced behind the daggerboard well 26 is a fin channel 32, also shown in FIG. 6 as well as in FIG. 1. The fin channel has a peripheral flange 34, as do the inserts for the mast and daggerboard. The fin channel defines an enclosed box at its top side and does not penetrate to the upper surface of the sailboard body. Although of course the fin channel is a permanent mount, the fin itself, shown at 36 in FIG. 2, is removable from the fin channel for cleaning, replacement or repair.
In this specification and in the appended claims the term "foam" is used as it is in the trade to identify closed-celled form-retaining synthetic materials, whether hard or soft. The term is not intended to be restrictive but rather to encompass any lightweight, form-retaining material suitable for use in the above-described product.

Wow, that looks like one hell of a party: you got cool football dude "88," neat-o "tie-guy" tipping his two frothy beers in a gesture of jocular invitation, that reclining girl who's just too much of an iconoclast to take her feet off the table, the affable chain-smoker, the cut-up wearing the napkin over the lower part of his face. I'd sure like to attend that shindig. But, oh, wait, who's that saucy new arrival, raising a glass to toast this holiest of holidays, wherein we light our menorahs with trick candles and eat communion wafers dipped in super glue? The dress is lovely and formfitting, but she looks a little dangerous, no? And who does her hair?!
As with so many eighties horror films, this is one I never saw and can't imagine seeing. Why this poster, which as far as these things go, is pretty innocuous, so greatly disturbed precious little me when doing my weekly shelf scouring at Video Paradise I really can't describe. I still don't know whether it's really about a young girl with a moussed noose for a ponytail showing up at a co-ed dorm party and proceeding to pick them off one at a time—though that's my best guess. And for that I want to seriously credit the poster designer, not only for preying on my impressionable young mind but for creating a surreal image that also seemed to stand in pretty well for the film's literal narrative. Twenty years on, and this image is vivid, man. A quick, brave visit to the imdb page and I realize from reading user comments that April Fool's Day doesn't seem to be overly gory, is fairly well shot for this type of film, and features a group of nubile teens spending a fuck and slash weekend in a remote island home in the Northwest. The question remains: is there a death by ponytail? If not, after 25 years, I would feel slightly cheated.

Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way
Karol Wojtyla Jonathan Cape, 230pp, £10.99
Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way
Karol Wojtyla Jonathan Cape, 230pp, £10.99
by Peter Stanford Published
I haven't read a book like this since I was in First Holy Communion class. No, that's not strictly true - there are elements of standard autobiography and polemic woven into this text. But what takes me back to the days of short trousers is the voice of a benign elderly priest explaining the marvels and miracles of Catholic life.
The first third of Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way revolves around the time in 1958 when Karol Wojtyla, still a couple of years short of his 40th birthday, was named a bishop, the first step in an extraordinary rise through the ranks that has made him the first non-Italian in 455 years to preside at God's business address on earth, the first Slav to sit on St Peter's throne, and the youngest man elected to the office in 130 years. There is a series of nice (bland word, but appropriate) anecdotes about how he had to cut short a canoeing trip with youngsters when he heard the news, but insisted on returning to complete the adventure.
There follows a simpleton's guide to ecclesiastical ceremonies and paraphernalia, plus a ringing defence of a bishop's right to do and say anything he believes is justified by the gospel. There is a strong and inspiring account of his clash with the communist Polish authorities over building a church in the new Krakow suburb of Nova Huta. The future pope famously forced the atheist regime to lift its ban.
As you read the chronicle of John Paul's middle years, however, you cannot help but reflect how often he has failed to practise what he preached. Today, priests who become involved in political stand-offs (as he once did) are disciplined and silenced. The clerics who maintained a critical presence in the Sandinista government of Nicaragua in the 1980s, following the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza, were rewarded for their dedication with a public ticking-off by John Paul, who wagged his finger at them in front of the cameras at Managua International Airport.
The Sandinistas' problem was that they were influenced by Karl Marx. For John Paul, as this account makes clear, Marxism is up there with condoms and female priests as the greatest evils of the modern age. This fact explains both the highs of his papacy - particularly his extraordinary role as the spark from heaven which ignited the revolutions that brought down the Iron Curtain - and the lows. Because of his repugnance for anything that even smells of Marxism, he has tried to suppress the widely popular liberation theology movement in Latin America, with the result that the Church there is now split down the middle, with the radical element, grouped around base communities, scarcely acknowledging Rome's authority. His legacy will be a de facto schism.
John Paul doesn't give interviews, so it is revealing to hear him talking in these pages in an often informal way. It makes a man who has become an institution suddenly seem human again.
Usually when we hear his voice in public it is reading a sermon. Of late, as Parkinson's disease takes a terrible toll on his body, his words have been stumbling, often incoherent. Anyone else would resign. In 1983, he inserted a clause in the new Code of Canon Law - the Church's rule book - to allow reigning pontiffs to stand down, but now that the moment has come he will not take advantage of it.
It may be that he is simply past being able to make decisions, and that it suits the cardinals around John Paul for him to continue his half-life while they run the show. More likely, his innate sense of being divinely ordained, something that thunders repeatedly through these pages, will not let him step aside. The only way he will rise and be on his way, you deduce, will be when he ascends to a better place.
This book will be picked over by the many scholars and commentators lining up to write his definitive life story, and they will find a few nuggets in here. Most readers, however, will find that the piety of Uncle Karol's fireside chats may well defeat them. This is an unusual offering from a mainstream publisher; then again, his previous outing in print, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, written in much the same style, was an international bestseller. God moves, as John Paul has no doubt said on many occasions, in mysterious ways.

The fact that Shved could maybe, hypothetically, kinda-sorta, hopefully prove to be the "steal of the Thad Young trade" aside, the former Timberwolve has shown flashes of a fun personality as well. If you're not familiar with the Ricky Rubio "change your face" moment, the zany fellas over at NBA TV's The Starters had some fun with Alexey a few weeks back during Summer League.
It's worth revisiting for Sixers fans who probably didn't think twice about watching a Timberwolve at the time.
Hopefully, Shved and his new teammates can change some frowns around in the coming years down in South Philadelphia.

Crib conversion rails can lengthen the usage you receive from your crib, by transforming it into a toddler bed. Many parents are beginning to do this for a variety of reasons. One such argument in favor of crib conversion rails is purely economical. First time parents experience a major pocketbook bleed as endless money is poured into baby supplies, clothing and furniture. Any way they can cut corners financially while still keeping baby safe becomes very appealing as families struggle to make ends meet.
Style is also another important consideration, as many families do not want to overhaul all of their furniture when it's time to redecorate the nursery in preparation of toddlerhood. Sometimes it is difficult to find a toddler bed that will match the current decor of a room, and a crib conversion rail allows you to hold on to your current furniture color scheme without having to replace everything.
The best way to purchase a conversion rail is to plan ahead. Some cribs will not allow the use of them, while many other manufacturers will not only make their cribs compatible, but will provide them. This is the case with the Alpha Crib Conversion Rail , which easily extends the life of the Alpha cribs available for purchase. Made by Da Vinci, the same company known for its fabulous bassinets and other bedding options, their conversion rails come in every shade their matching cribs are available in. Much more inexpensive than purchasing an entire new bed, the conversion rails provide convenience and financial sensibility for parents of toddlers.
The Jenny Lind crib is another Da Vinci favorite, and there are Crib Conversion Rails for that design as well.
If you can't find a crib conversion kit for your crib model, or don't like the look of them, there are other safety alternatives as well. If you are hard set on purchasing a toddler bed, check out the many different designs of protective rails available. You'll be impressed with the selection you'll find, as well as how well they can compliment a bedroom. Many are inexpensive, which will help to keep you out of a money pit often associated with kids' products.
Convertible cribs are another solution, as they do the transformation for you as your child grows and changes. Great products are available in this arena, featuring many different styles and color schemes.

KATHMANDU, APR 14 - UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal left for a week-long visit to China on Sunday. This is his third visit to the country since the Maoist party joined mainstream politics in 2006.
Dahal is accompanied by his spouse, personal aides and security personnel. However, there are no Maoist leaders from the party's internal bureau in Dahal's team.
During his stay in China, Chairman Dahal is scheduled to meet the new Chinese leadership-President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang-and other high-level officials. Speaking to reporters at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Dahal said that his visit would focus on economic development and stability.
"We should take initiatives to benefit from the achievements made by our two neighbours. My visit to China and India will focus on this purpose," said Dahal, who will be visiting India immediately after returning from China.
Concerning the political agenda, Dahal said that he will ask the Chinese leadership to provide support for fresh Constituent Assembly (CA) polls and the constitution-drafting process.

Is Versace Trying To Get Men To Wear Lingerie Now?
Like Us On Facebook
Like Us On Facebook
London's Men's Fashion Week saw all sorts of gender-bending fashion, with all sorts of man-skirts and other bizarre outfits, the Versace show in Milan yesterday took it to the next level, with men wearing only sheer shirts and lingerie.
Donatella Versace's show boasted male models wearing lace lingerie and shirts, showing nothing that looked actually wearable by any common man.
The sheer shirts and bizarre cycling shorts were offset by over-sized fur coats.
We're not really sure what to make of all of this, but we certainly won't be wearing any of this stuff.

|Keynote Speaker: Carl Safina
Friday April 24, 2015, Wang Center Theater, 7:30 pm
Fisheries, coral reefs, forests, climate change, poverty, literacy for girls, and peace—these are all facets of the same issue. Drawing on two acclaimed recent books—The View From Lazy Point and A Sea In Flames—scientist/author Dr. Carl Safina weaves a story that is both deeply personal and broadly global.
Sharing travels that take us from his Long Island beach house to the high Arctic, Antarctica, and across the coastal tropics, he shows how the changes he's witnessed challenge not just nature but all of humankind.
Safina will also discuss how science has ethical implications, how religion and science are converging toward common cause on environmental matters, and how moral responses can add momentum toward increasingly crucial solutions. Despite serious trends, there is a path forward.
We'll have books available for signing by the author.

Denpasar. Loeana Kanginnadhi, a 77-year-old woman standing trial in a land sale fraud case, fainted on Thursday upon arrival at the overcrowded Kerobokan Prison in Bali, where she was to be detained.
Four officers from the Denpasar prosecutor's office picked Loeana up from Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar on Thursday morning, based on a letter from the Denpasar District Court saying her treatment at the hospital should end and that she could no longer delay her detention.
The court letter was accompanied by another letter from the Denpasar branch of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) confirming that Loeana did not need to stay longer at the hospital. She was scheduled to attend another court hearing on Aug. 2.
Leoana's relatives and lawyers had resisted her removal from the hospital, but the prosecutor's team forcibly transported her, in her wheelchair, to the Kerobokan Prison, also in Denpasar.
"As soon as she arrived here, she fainted," Kerobokan Prison chief Gusti Ngurah Wiratna said on Thursday.
He added that a medical team at the penitentiary immediately examined Loeana's health condition and found that her blood pressure had risen to 150/90.
Wiratna said he would refuse to receive Loeana at the prison, adding that the overcrowded situation at Kerobokan might cause her health condition to deteriorate.
"We can't even communicate with her. … If we insist on keeping her [in the prison], we're afraid something unexpected will happen," he said.
Loeana's lawyer, Sumardhan, said the prosecutor's office should be held responsible for the incident.
"We've objected [to the detention] since the beginning. Now the prosecutors should take responsibility," Sumardhan said.
But prosecutor Putu Astawa said he and his colleagues were only following the Denpasar District Court's order.
"We only did what the court letter instructs us to," Putu said.
Loeana was seen leaving Kerobokan Prison at 6 p.m. on Thursday, assisted by officers from the prosecutor's office and her relatives.
It is not clear yet where she was brought, as neither the prosecutor's office nor prison officials were willing to further comment on the issue.
Loeana is accused of embezzling $850,000 from a land sale in Jimbaran, South Bali, in 2001.
Putra Masagung, who bought a plot of land, took Loreana to criminal court in 2010, saying that he had not yet received 8,640-square meters of the 30,000-square meters he had purchased.
Police arrested Loeana in November 2011, but had to release her after she won a pre-trial case against her detention at the Denpasar state court.
On April 27, Loeana, who was seeking medical treatment in Surabaya, was rearrested by a reported 10 members of the police — eight from Bali and two from Surabaya.

DISTRICT MASTER PLAN: Showing hotel, condos, office buildings, and entertainment complex.
A river park development planned near Hollywood Casino downtown would include an outdoor concert venue, two hotels, restaurants, shops and apartments, as well as a public boardwalk on the Mississippi River.
The half-mile stretch along the Mississippi would go from the edge of Hollywood Casino and along the front of River Park. Pete Clements, River Park's developer, spoke to the Downtown Development District's board on Tuesday. Clements said ongoing work on the four-lane road that will pass under the railroad tracks will finish up before the end of the year. The underpass will also include a service road that gives the state servitude to the nearby batture property.
The next phase — the entertainment complex — will be what Clements considers key to making River Park a destination for visitors. This portion would be anchored by a covered, outdoor concert venue that would accommodate up to 2,800 people and 120,000 square feet of restaurants, shops and entertainment options on two stories surrounding the concert venue.
The final phase would be four buildings that would house between 800 and 1,000 apartments for rent or purchase. Clements said this portion is the furthest out — the project has a 10- to 15-year development plan.
A bill by State Sen. Yvonne Dorsey, D-Baton Rouge, would create an economic development district for 60 acres of riverfront property that would include Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge and the future location of developer Pete Clements' River Park multi-use development.
River Park, still in the planning stages, could generate $84 million in state taxes and $103 million in the first 10 years.

Kiawah Island is getting some star-studded exposure on social media this week thanks to two athletes-turned-broadcasters who are posting pics from the beach and golf course.
Olympic gold medalist figure skater Tara Lipinski, who owns a house on Kiawah, and former quarterback Danny Kanell, here on vacation, have both been posting photographs on Instagram and Twitter.
Lipinski, who has over 111,000 followers on Instagram and 63,000 on Twitter, has posted pics from The Battery, the beach and at the acclaimed Ocean Course.
"Charleston will always have my heart," she posted with an Instagram picture of her beneath the live oaks at White Point Garden.
Kanell, the former Florida State Seminole quarterback who was drafted by the New York Giants, has 139,000 followers on Twitter and 1,500 on Instagram. "... the course kicked my butt" he posted from the Ocean Course.
Lipinski and fellow skating champion Johnny Weir recently received rave reviews for their skating and fashion commentary on NBC during the Olympic games in Sochi.
Kanell, who retired from the NFL 10 years ago, is an analyst for ESPN.

The subjects addressed include "Sexism in WoW", "Real World Transactions of Digital Items from MMOGs", "The Prisoner's Dilemma and Factional Conflict in World of Warcraft", and my personal favorite, the oh-so-socially relevant "Wizards vs. Engineers: The Rumble in the Proverbial Jungle". There are several others covering a wide-range of topics; I haven't had the time to read them all yet, but since I eat this stuff up, I might not get much work done today.
Of course, the real question this begs is: why couldn't assignments have been this cool when I was in school? Do you have any idea how severely the nuns would have beat me if I had asked to write my term paper on a video game?

Four Australian players have been dropped for the next Test versus India. Peter Miller gives us his view on it.
Australian cricket is about to reveal that the last 12 months were in fact a dream sequence, JR Ewing hasn't really been shot, they haven't rotated out key players for a deciding Test match and they will tell us that haven't dropped James Pattinson, Usman Khawaja, Mitchell Johnson and Shane Watson from the 3rd Test for failing to provide three ways in which they can improve.
Mickey Arthur has told the press that the dropping of these four players this was a "line in the sand" moment. For there to be a need for such a moment there is clearly an issue with respect for the management's authority. For 25% of the touring party to ignore a task that was clearly given a huge amount of emphasis by the coach shows that all is not well.
It has now been revealed by The Australian that Shane Watson has checked out of the team hotel and flown home. His reason is said to be that he is going to see his wife who is due to have a baby at the end of this month. There has been no mention of him flying home during this tour to welcome his new arrival so we can only assume that this was an unplanned move. To have the team's vice captain abandon the tour again shows that there are tensions in the camp.
We spoke with former Australian Test player Stuart MacGill this week and he expressed concerns about how "informed player management" was communicated to the players. If it is the case that the players are unclear on how this policy of rotation is implemented it is perhaps understandable that there is some friction between the management and the players.
Ultimately the success or failure of a team management policy is judged on results. Neither players or fans will be happy with constant changes to personnel if the results are not there to back it up. On this tour the bowling options that the selectors took along to India have raised many eyebrows. Steve O'Keefe, the most successful spin bowler in Shield cricket, didn't make the squad. Whereas Xavier Doherty and Steve Smith who have barely bowled in first class cricket this past summer are in India.
Even once they had arrived in India the selection issues were obvious to see. Nathan Lyon, who is far and away the best spin bowler in the touring party was dropped for the 2nd Test despite getting the ball to turn. Not least when he bowled Sachin Tendulkar with the perfect off spinners delivery.
While it is understandable for the coach to want the input of players on how the team can improve, perhaps the selectors and coaches also need to be asked for some homework. It seems the four players involved in "Homework-gate" have been caught in the middle of a desperate attempt to wrest back some authority by the management. It will be interesting to see what the impact of their censure will have on Australia's performance in the 3rd Test.
