South Pacific
The goal of the Studio Art in the South Pacific program is to bring together studio art practice with the challenges and advantages of off-campus study – drawing from nature in a new environment, studying social issues in the context of a foreign setting, and producing narrative work in response to travel. Students will work both to improve their drawing skills and to see drawing as a unique way to understand the world. The work of the entire term, including both drawing and printmaking projects, will form a visual journal in which the students will record the experiences of travel abroad. Students will examine social and environmental issues, learn about indigenous and post-colonial art and artists, visit with artists and interact with people along the way.
Fred Hagstrom is the program director as well as the instructor for all courses, assisted by guest lecturers and visiting artists. Fred has led six prior Carleton seminars in studio art to the South Pacific. His teaching areas are printmaking, drawing, book arts, and courses that focus on the narrative potential of art.
Australia/ New Zealand/ Cook Island Program
Program Assistant for Winter 2015 Program
The Position
The position is open to people who will have graduated by June 2014 and who are former participants of the program. It pays a modest salary (around $4,000), which includes all program expenses, including airfare and some spending money for midterm break. It requires a commitment for the entire program. Due to budget considerations, we may initially only hire one helper with a possibility to hire an additional helper later, when the budget issues are resolved. This is necessary due to the fluctuation of the dollar. It makes firm budgeting difficult until we get closer to the program. We do hope to have two people in this position.
In general, the Program Assistant(s) will have to satisfy two very different roles: what the Faculty Director needs and what the students expect. The Faculty Director needs helpers that make his life easier, anticipate things that need doing, and who can provide solid technical advice in the studio as well as exemplify an interest in art that goes beyond the college years. The students want someone who makes the trip fun, a sort of super RA who can also help them when they are upset. Balancing these roles is the hardest part of the position. A proven commitment to art is a must for this position.
What We will look for
Specific skills—the Program Assistant(s) will need to know how to drive a manual transmission vehicle and be willing to help out with some of the food preparation. We try to minimize the food preparation, but there will be times when help with these tasks will be required. First Aid experience is also a plus. We need help in keeping the group safe when snorkeling, so comfort and a fairly good level of experience in the water is important.
1. Excellent drawing skills. The assistant is a major help in teaching the drawing course, so she/he will need good skills and commitment to drawing, as well as the ability to discuss drawing issues in a clear and helpful manner. When you were on the trip, were you fully engaged with the drawing course particularly in drawing from nature? The program Assistant would be an example to the students, so his/her interest, skill, and discipline in drawing is important.
2. A good familiarity with etching and relief printing, and bookbinding. The ability to do demos in each of these areas is important. The Program Assistant will really teach in prints, so some continued experience in these specific print media beyond just 1-2 courses is very helpful. What experience in printmaking - particularly in relief and intaglio - have you had since courses at Carleton?
3. Reliability. It is a tricky position--part peer, part leader. The Program Assistant must have a good record of taking initiative, getting things done, etc. Responsibilities for a staff person are different from those for students, and we will need someone who is comfortable with that role. Organization is very important. We need people who are going to reduce the workload for the Faculty Director.
4. An open attitude with people. The Program Assistant has to interact well with people and be able to establish a rapport with diverse groups. She/he must play the role of a friendly helper, as well as being able to tell people what to do sometimes. While we want the helper to be a good example as an artist and help in the studio courses, the students want a friend who makes the trip more fun. This is a very important aspect of this job.
5. Comfort with the basic design of the program. Since much of the program is fairly oriented to the outdoors, basic ease with the camping, hiking, and water portions of the trip is a must. SCUBA certification would be nice, but is not a strict requirement. We especially need help here in terms of safety.
6. A good work ethic. It is a long and tiring trip. We need someone who exemplifies a strong commitment to working in the studio.

Horn Department
CIM provides a concentrated performance environment for all brass students. Two symphony orchestras are the primary focus of our program. Since all participants in the orchestras are student performance majors, these ensembles perform at an exceptionally high level. To complement the orchestras, there is a brass orchestral repertoire class, conducted by our colleague, Michael Sachs, principal trumpet of the Cleveland Orchestra. This class provides intensive preparation of CIM concert repertoire as well as readings of other standard orchestral pieces.
With enrollment restricted to 10 horns, every student is assured a significant number of performance opportunities. Orchestral participation is virtually continuous. In addition, all horn majors are involved in horn class; this weekly event is devoted to CIM orchestra repertoire, readings of other major works; at times it utilizes a master-class format. Students may be involved in all types of chamber music (brass quintets, horn ensembles, brass and woodwind ensembles), wind ensemble, contemporary music, and (through our relationship with adjacent Case Western Reserve University), jazz ensembles and early music. There also is liberal access to Cleveland Orchestra rehearsals and concerts at Severance Hall, just a short walk down the street from CIM.
The joining together of a highly dedicated, focused student body and an equally professional and supportive faculty and staff is a powerful combination that encourages students to achieve the ultimate in their potential. The successes of our students are excellent testimony: Jill Bartells (Akron Symphony), Zachary Cramer (Boulder Philharmonic), Jay Matthews (Buffalo Philharmonic), Erin Cooper-Gay, Lauren Moore, and Meghan Guegold (Canton Symphony), Alan DeMattia (Cleveland Orchestra), Michael Lewellen (Fort Wayne Philharmonic), Ethan Bearman and Bruce Hudson (Los Angeles Philharmonic), Darcy Hamlin (Milwaukee Symphony and Breckenridge Music Festival Orchestra), Robert Rearden (New World Symphony), Julie Bridge (Syracuse Symphony), Ronald Beitel (Utah Symphony), Michael Oswald (Victoria Symphony), Stephen Aaron (US Army Band), and Jaime Thorne (US Coast Guard Band).

ALBANY, N.Y. - One of the lighter moments of Governor Andrew Cuomo's budget address in Albany on Tuesday came when he mentioned the state money going toward the Buffalo Bills and Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park.
"An annual support for the operation, that's about $60 million," said Cuomo. "All I can tell you is for $60 million dollars, the Bills better win this year."
The crowd in Albany laughed at the joke. After that, the governor added more comments.
"Talk about performance funding."

Using any of the standard hymnals, what is the oldest hymn that people are still singing?
- The Baptist Hymnal 1975 / 1991 / 2008,
- The Faith We Sing (Methodist, right?),
- The (Episcopal) Hymnal 1982,
- Adoremus (or anything else Catholics use)
- or just about any standard denominationally based hymnal in current usage
Alternatively, I'll take anything on Hymnary.org, since my aim is just to find old hymns - I'm just trying to avoid someone pulling out a hymnal from the 1700s and pulling out some song nobody knows...
Let me strike out one answer real quick - yes, I know the Psalms is a Jewish hymnbook. The problem that I have with including the Psalms in the scope of this question is that we don't have the music :)
I suspect somebody can find obscure hymns that are old, but I'm looking for old hymns that are still sung widely. I suspect things like the Doxology, the Sanctus, or other parts of the Mass would be likely candidates, but I'd like to see the oldest we can come up with.
Please include the date of the text and the music, if you could
e.g. "All Creatures of Our God and King", words by Francis of Assisi (1200s), tune is Lasst Uns Erfreuen, 1623.

The Music Department at Utah State University will present "Never in Your Wildest Dreams: Favorites from Opera to Broadway," on Friday, Feb. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the Price Civic Auditorium.
The free public concert will feature opera students from the Logan campus.
"This performance is fun, frivolous and a great way to spend the evening with the whole family," said Lynn Jemison-Keisker, associate professor and director of the opera theatre program in the Caine College of the Arts at USU in Logan.
Thirty undergraduate students from the Logan campus will perform well-known scenes from 19th and 20th century composers, including those of Giacomo Puccini, Leonard Bernstein and W. S. Gilbert & Arthur Sullivan.
"The selections are comedic and romantic, with all pieces sung in English," said Jemison-Keisker.
Also included are segments from "Grease," by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, a short fairytale opera "The Emperor's New Clothes" by Douglas Moore, and "Make Your Garden Grow" from Leonard Bernstein's "Candide," based on the 18th century French novel by Voltaire. For more information contact Greg Benson at 435-613-5294 or email@example.com.

Our Favorite Curmudgeon
By: Legacy.com Staff
3 years ago
Andy Rooney, commentator and satirist for "60 Minutes," talks to newsmen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York Nov.10, 1993. The popular CBS news program was holding a 25th anniversary party at the museum. (AP photo/Mark Lennihan)
One year ago today, we lost our favorite curmudgeon – Andy Rooney. For more than 40 years, he spared few punches as he skewered pretty much anything that had ever annoyed him on the 60 Minutes segment "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney."
Rooney was crotchety, sour and sarcastic – and we loved it. Even when he struck a too-raw nerve – as he sometimes did while opining about subjects like race, sexuality and suicide – his public generally accepted his explanation and apology, and tuned in for his next rant. We tolerated Rooney even when we disagreed with his views… but we liked him best when he expressed the super-curmudgeonly version of our own feelings. Feelings like confusion over why some "art" is considered "art"…
…And people who sleep their lives away…
…And the fact that today's music is NOT like the music we grew up with.
The world has been a much less curmudgeonly place for the past year. We can rant about annoying stuff ourselves… but our rants just don't feel quite as good as Andy Rooney's did.

Betancourt Nutrition
Pure Amino
Betancourt Nutrition Pure Amino is the most advanced all-natural BCAA endurance & recovery drink mix available. It improves upon the typical 2:1:1 ratio of BCAA's by providing a 4:1:1 ratio (leucine 4g, isoleucine 1g, valine 1g) based on the fact that L-leucine is the most important amino acid when it comes to anabolic signaling for muscle growth and tissue repair (recovery).
Pure Amino also features the muscle anti-oxidant NAC: n-acetylcysteine which has been shown in research to aid the protection of muscle cells during exertion by promoting glutathione. This is also what is believed to be responsible for n-acetylcysteine's ability to boost aerobic endurance in some athletes. To further promote glutathione, selenium is used as well; these two muscle protecting ingredients (n-acetylcysteine and selenium) have been shown to boost endurance*

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
A higher and therefore harder flex index promises more direct power transmission, whereas a lower and softer index promises greater comfort.
Many of our boots feature special technologies. Live-Fit: These elastic zones automatically adapt to the skier's forefoot shape providing instant comfort, improved feel, better blood flow, warmer toes… happier feet. Walk-Mechanism: Lift the lever and allow the cuff to freely move, providing optimum strid as well as easy entry and exit. Return the lever and mechanically lock the cuff to the shell for 100% powder on the descent.
Like its super-popular predecessor, our new Atomic Hawx 2.0 120 is a super sporty all-mountain ski boot with a stiff flex.
Ski boots designed by Atomic make every day on the ski slopes a real pleasure. Skiers can choose from two series: the dynamic Hawx, the most popular medium-width ski boot in the world and the progressive, versatile Waymaker which is super-easy to slip on and off.

Joyce Kilmer
Original name: Alfred Joyce Kilmer
Dec. 6, 1886
New Brunswick
Middlesex County
New Jersey, USA
Jul. 30, 1918
Departement de l'Aisne
Picardie, France
Poet. Most remembered for his 1913 poem "Trees", he was educated at Rutgers College and was a graduate of Columbia University in 1908. He had a brief career as a teacher before he moved on to his vocation of journalism. From 1909 to 1912, he worked on the staff of "The Standard Dictionary" (a division of the Funk and Wagnalls Publishing Company) in New York City, and became a special writer for the "New York Times Sunday Magazine." He enjoyed writing poetry, essays, and critical reviews of other poets, and was a frequent contributor to various magazines. He lived most of his life in Mahwah, New Jersey, in a house on top of a wooded hill, and often used his bedroom as a part time office. Raised in the Anglican Church, he converted to Roman Catholicism in 1913. In August 1913, the magazine "Poetry" published his work "Trees" which became his most famous poem, which in turn was published in his 1914 book "Trees and Other Poems." He dedicated the book to his mother. When the United States entered World War I in April 1917, he enlisted at age 30 in the United States Army, and quickly rose to the rank of Sergeant in the 69th Volunteer Infantry Regiment (later redesignated the 165th Infantry Regiment) of the 42nd Infantry Division (Rainbow Division). Originally assigned as the Regimental Statistician, he became an observer in the Regimental Intelligence Section, gathering information about the enemy. This required him to participate in numerous patrols deep into enemy territory. On July 30, 1918, during the battle of Ourcq, France, he attached himself as adjutant to Major William Donovan, who commanded the First Battalion, as Donovan's aide had been killed the day before. He was killed at the Muercy Farm in France later that day when a German sniper shot him. He was posthumously awarded the French Croix de Guerre (Cross of War) for his valor. His poem, "When the Sixty-Ninth Comes Back" was set to music by composer Victor Herbert and played by the Regimental Band during their return triumphal march up 5th Avenue in New York City in 1919. Interred with his comrades in the Oise-Aisne American Cemetery, Fere-en-Tardenois, France, his family erected a cenotaph for him in their plot in Elmwood Cemetery, New Brunswick, New Jersey. In 1993, his son, Kenton Kilmer, wrote a book about his father, entitled "Memories of my Father, Joyce Kilmer."

This is the second time we have brewed this beer and it is brewed with hops from the Southern Hemisphere and malt from North America along with a touch of rye. All Four is a pub exclusive.
Look for ripe, tropical fruit notes along with pine and an ABV of 5.85%.
This is the ninth year Greensky has opened our Beer Garden Series. They will be performing on both Friday and Saturday nights with Ryan Montbleau Band.
Also scheduled to appear on the big stage in the garden this summer: Yonder Mountain String Band, and .moe

really nice opportunity and way of thought contributed to the idea on today's artist
"The way we understand the world relies so much on our ability to measure it. Given that many measurements are based on the proportions of the human body its clear we measure stuff to find our place amongst it all and to connect with it in some way."
"For me, wonder is a state of mind somewhere between knowledge and uncertainty. It is the basis of my practice and results in images that are simultaneously familiar yet strange. Each piece begins as a question of visual possibilities and develops in tandem with the natural laws of the world. Serendipitously, this process often yields unexpected results measurable only through photographic processes. The human presence and artifacts of the process provide a clue to the creation of the photograph while adding to the mysterious nature of the image. My hope is that this work affirms that even within the well tested laws of science there are, and must always be, pathways to reinterpretation and discovery."

Saybrook Alumnus Yannis Toussulis, PhD '95 Releases New Book on Sufism06/27/2011
Alumnus Yannis Toussulis' new book, Sufism and the Way of Blame: Hidden Sources of a Sacred Psychology can be found on Amazon.com:
Dr. Yannis Toussulis, a graduate of Saybrook in 1997, has just had his first book published by Quest Books (April, 2011), Sufism and the Way of Blame: Hidden Sources of a Sacred Psychology. Stanley Krippner has written, "Dr. Toussulis sees Sufism as a 'multiplex phenomenon,' placing it in its proper social and historical context. But he also recognizes that the psychological aspects of Sufism need to be explored, and this section of the book contains the most innovative insights of this compelling volume. For readers who want to avoid both "New Age" and dogmatic approaches to this topic, Sufism and the Way of Blame surpasses any book on the topic currently in print. This is an authoritative volume, and one badly needed at this time." Joining Dr. Krippner, Kabir Helminski, a well-known translator of Rumi and a Mevlevi Shaykh refers to this book as "a critical assessment of the history, context, and spiritual significance of one of the most important yet hidden traditions within Islamic mysticism." Dr. Robert Frager, the founding president of the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, refers to this book as "priceless information that has not been available previously" and "a must-read for any serious student or practitioner of Sufism." The book is already being lauded by Rabbi Zalman Shachter-Shalomi as "the definitive study of Malamati Sufism."
This is the first book to detail the relationship between Sufism and the controversial "way of blame" in all of its historical phases up to, and including, the present era. The way of blame originally designated a group within larger Sufism that focused on the psychology of egoism and engaged in self-critique (Arabic malam, or "blame"). Later, the term most often referred to those Sufis who incurred blame by shunning Islamic literalism and formalism. This interdisciplinary work begins by critically examining popular and scholarly conceptions about Sufism. The book then proceeds to examine the role that the way of blame (Ar. malamatiyya) played in the development of Sufism as a whole. Extensive references are made to current interpretations of Sufism and the way of blame provided by G. I Gurdjieff, J.G. Bennett, and Idries Shah, as well as by scholars such as Frithjof Schuon, Martin Lings, and Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Sufism and the Way of Blame incorporates the work of preceding scholars and updates their studies in the history and psychology of Sufism, through personal research done by the author in tandem with a living representative of the way of blame in Turkey today, Mehmet Selim Ozich. In its closing chapters, the book presents an up-to-date paradigm of psycho-spiritual development that is still being used today by classically oriented Sufis of the way of blame who practice a human-centered approach to spiritual transformation.

Saybrook Alumna Dana Klisanin, PhD '03 Requests Your Help with a Survey for Information She Will Use At This Year's APA Convention06/26/2011
Dear Fellow Saybrookians,
I am trying to collect information about the characteristics of people who "actively use the Internet to help other people, animals, or the environment" --- aka cyberheroes [You might be surprised that you actually do qualify for this survey, when you see the questions. I suggest you give it a try. - George Aiken - Saybrook Director of Alumni Affairs]
In an attempt to reach my target population I started a "Cause" on Facebook's "Causes" and posted a link to my questionnaire. Being a member of "Causes" is not a prerequisite to completing the survey, anyone who believes he or she fits the above definition is welcome to complete the survey. I will be presenting the results at the APA convention in August. As you know, the higher the population surveyed the more meaningful the results. Any help you can provide in spreading the word would be greatly appreciated.
Here are two links:
The first is a link directly to the survey.
The second is a link to the Cause I started (If you are already a member of Facebook or Causes and you want to check it out, it is a good way to help spread the word, but the most important thing anyone can do to help is to complete the survey---only of course if they believe they fit the description of the target population).

Video available of Saybrook Faculty Member Dr. Ruth Richards' Ahimsa Talk on Empathy06/26/2011
From Saybrook Executive Faculty member, Dr. Ruth Richards:
This is a talk I gave on 5-17-11 for AHIMSA:
Empathy is an essential yet often unsung human quality
--creative, connecting, powerful. We consider
its vital role for humans individually and together, for our health, our progress, our development.
And perhaps even for our species survival.
Dr. Abbe Blum did a meditation with us at the end. If you open the pdf file for the SLIDES in another window, to go through with the video, it works well.
Saybrook Alumnus Kirk Schneider, PhD '84 Presents Awakening to Awe at Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture06/26/2011
Awakening to Awe
Dr. Kirk J. Schneider - Saybrook PhD '84
Humanist Psychologist and author of Awakening to Awe: Personal Stories of Profound Transformation
Sunday, July 31, 2011
Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture
53 Prospect Park West at 2nd St.
Dr. Schneider will offer a morning presentation for the general public and an afternoon workshop for clergy, counselors, and therapists.
11am-12:45pm – Nurturing the Sense of Awe in our Day-to-Day World: In Childrearing, Teaching, Work, and the Moral and Ethical Arena *** FREE***
How can we draw on the power of awe – our sense of adventure toward living – so that we transform our entire day-to-day world and culture? Dr. Kirk Schneider will share ways to inspire awe in the areas of childrearing, teaching, work, and in our moral and ethical decisionmaking. He will explore the relevance of such existential-spiritual thinkers as Ernest Becker (with his educational curriculum in "Beyond Alienation"), Paul Tillich (with his discussion of "listening love") and Martin Buber (with his notion of the "I-Thou" relationship). Ample time will be provided for discussion.
1:15-2:30— Rediscovering Awe: A Meditation on the Humility, Wonder, and Adventure, of Living ***$15***
Therapists, counselors, clergy and those in training are invited to enhance their ability to be more fully present to and thus deepen their bond with a diverse range of clients by drawing on the insights of humanist psychology. Guided by his book "Awakening to Awe: Personal Stories of Profound Transformation" (2009), humanist psychologist Dr. Kirk Schneider will offer in depth exercises, having people work in pairs and together, as they explore the "lenses" of awe – of transience, unknowingness, surprise, vastness, intricacy, sentiment, and solitude – to deepen their sense of awe toward all being.
To RSVP, please email email@example.com.
To pay for the afternoon workshop, please visit http://bit.ly/mokzxd using keyword "Schneider."

POTSDAM SUNY Potsdam students piled into buses and vans and set off to volunteer their time Saturday, helping the Salvation Army, Helping Hands and other groups for the colleges first Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service.
More than 100 students volunteered for the event.
They were split into groups and dispatched to five locations. Some stayed close to campus, cleaning out kennels at the Potsdam Animal Shelters, while others took a longer trip to the Akwesasne Boys and Girls Club.
Im really excited about this. Ive never worked with the Salvation Army before, said Marissa J. Richardson, a senior from Watertown who volunteered to help the Salvation Army in Massena.
The students did a variety of jobs, such as helping out at a charity luncheon and organizing a thrift store.
Many communities do volunteer projects on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to honor the legacy of the civil rights leader, but since SUNY Potsdams classes started on the holiday they pushed their day of service to the weekend. The event was planned last semester, and students continued to register right up until the last minute.
We needed to celebrate Dr. Kings life in some way, said Sheila M. Marshall, director of SUNY Potsdams Center for Diversity, who organized the event.
Some of the volunteers were members of campus Greek life, and many were members of the Delta Kappa Theta fraternity.
Were going for community service, and to help out the Boys and Girls Club, said Joshua F. Rishe, a junior from Ogdensburg and member of Delta Kappa Theta.
The day was created not only to honor Dr. Kings legacy and help the community, but to get students more involved in the region.
We want students to be part of that, and see some of the needs that we have in the north country, said professor Susan A. Stebbins, who accompanied one group to a charity lunch in Norwood.
At the end of the day the students met up back at campus for a closing program.
Were all going to share our experiences of what happened today, Ms. Marshall said.
She said she hopes the service day will become an annual tradition, growing and incorporating more campus offices.
It would be wonderful to make this a collegewide event, she said.

Throughout most of history, Jews lived significantly better in the Muslim countries than in Christian ones. Moreover, after the expulsion from Spain, many Spanish Jews moved to the Muslim world (from Morocco to the Ottoman Empire). Yet, when Jews were evicted from Central and Eastern Europe, or even after pogroms there (until the 1800s), Jews just moved from country to country in Europe (and sometimes even back to the original country that evicted them). Why didn't they move out to the Muslim world?
I could imagine, it is a kind of spiritual home. Jews immigrated from Muslim countries to Muslim countries (ok, Spain was Christian when the Jews were banished, but it was a new thing, and the Jews remembered on the better days under Muslim authority.)
When Jews were evicted from Central/Eastern Europe they looked for similar societies to settle. They had experience with Christians, so they preferred them. The didn't want to go to complete foreign peoples.
But there also other examples. Jews immigrated to China/Shanghai during the 30's from Germany, Russia and Iraq. Main reason will be, that they had no other possibility.
The question as it was posed is not entirely accurate. The Sephardic Jews are, rightly, the most famous Jewish community of the Ottoman Empire. However, in Istanbul, you could find synagogues and associations belonging to Ashknazi immigrants from Europe. These were all pre-Zionist immigrants from, if memory serves, Russia. In fact, there was a power struggle and conflict in the Jewish community between the European newcomers and the 'native' Sephardic Jews.
This is not to suggest that Jewish immigration to the Ottoman Empire from Europe was large before the late 19th century, but it certainly did exist. I wouldn't be surprised if you found more European Jews in other cities with Jewish populations, such as Izmir, Edirne and, particularly, Salonika.
As to why there wasn't a large-scale immigration, I would offer that European Jews were culturally European and were much more likely to migrate within their cultural world, where their language and practises would have been the norm, than to one which would have been culturally foreign. The same goes for Ottoman Jews, who did not move to Europe in any great numbers during this period because they were more at home with Arabs, Turks, Kurds, Greeks or whichever population they lived amongst.
Eventually both Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews would eventually emigrate to North and South America, just like Christians and Muslims in Europe and the Middle East.
It is a question of contacts. Where are you to move, and how? In general you move to where you have friends, contacts and where you can speak a language. And moving a long way with all your possessions is costly and takes time.
The history of the Jews post-Diaspora is quite complicated.
For one thing, I believe there was always a significant Jewish minority in the Muslim world, so one answer would be that they did in fact do just what you suggested.
However, there were always some in Europe too. In part, this was because they were inadvertantly encoraged to live there. Christian theology of the Middle Ages prohibited lending money at interest. Thus the only people who could make a living lending money (eg: being bankers) were non-Christians. There's a lot of money to be made in banking, even back then.
This was (sometimes literally) a dual-edged sword though. If you're a ruler who owes a bunch of money you can't repay, one way to get out of it was to get the local citizenry into an uproar about the local Jews, so that they all have to flee for their lives (or stay and get killed). This was the ultimate source of much European anti-semitisim.
I think one of the reasons was that Europe was more economically developed with higher standards of living. Sometimes Jews knew how to adapt to the circumstances in Europe. For example, in Russian Empire Jews frequently obtained Turkish citizenship so to be counted as foreigners in Russia (and to avoid anti-Jewish legislation which only applied to the subjects of Russian Empire), but remained in Russia.

Orthotics and Prosthetics are the rapidly changing fields involving the fabrication of orthopedic braces and artificial
limbs. This industry provides vital services to the rehabilitation medicine community and to individuals with disabilities,
including veterans, persons with vascular diseases, and diabetics.
Orthotics is the designing, fitting and manufacturing of orthopedic braces for individuals with disabling conditions of the
spine and extremities. Prosthetics is the designing, fitting and manufacturing of artificial limbs for people with limb loss.
These individual disciplines are traditionally combined as a single industry because they share similar scientific backgrounds
and manufacturing processes.
Technicians in the industry work with plastic, metal, plaster, and leather to fabricate orthotic and prosthetic devices
according to measurements and prescription requirements under the supervision of a certified prosthetist or orthotist.
Successful technicians need to have:
This profession is unique and rewarding to those who wish to make a difference in the lives of others.
O&P technician work includes routine maintenance and repair of prostheses and orthoses, maintaining equipment, and assisting in the
design of complex devices. Much like other light manufacturing environments, technicians are generally on their feet most of the day and
typically work regular daytime hours, Monday through Friday.
Successful completion of the formal training program qualifies technicians for job opportunities in orthotic and prosthetic clinics,
central fabrication facilities, hospitals, and government agencies throughout the country. The SFCC technician programs have a strong
placement rate and students have acquired professional positions in practices and facilities from coast to coast.
Salaries for technicians vary greatly depending upon the area of the country, the size of the practice or facility, and the experience
and ambition of the individual technician. Entry-level salaries typically range from $14 - $17 an hour with salary increases based on a
technician's attitude, ambitions, and ability to increase and expand the fundamental skills acquired in the SFCC program. Benefits are
usually provided.
The Spokane Falls Community College Orthotic and Prosthetic Technician Programs are accredited
by the National Commission of Orthotic and Prosthetic Education (NCOPE)
Further information about compensation and demand may be found at O*Net Online.
Program Support
If you are interested in further exploring the SFCC Orthotic and Prosthetic Technology Programs, please contact the
Orthotics Prosthetics Program Coordinator. This program has
a specialized entry process and an individual interview is required.
Spokane Falls Community College offers the only Orthotic and Prosthetic technician training programs in the western
United States. Students are trained in the basic skills of making orthopedic braces and artificial limbs in a two-year
competency-based program. Each discipline, orthotics and prosthetics, includes three quarters of study and lab work plus
an off-site, five-week clinical experience.
Students in the orthotics program take courses in the use of power tools, materials, and human anatomy. They develop
skills in modifying shoes and fabricating upper limb, lower limb, and spinal orthoses. Students in the prosthetics
program also learn the proper use of hand and power tools and materials. They take courses in human anatomy, below-knee
and above-knee prosthetics, followed by below-elbow and above-elbow prosthetics. The O&P technician training programs
give students the opportunity to work in an environment similar to the actual practice while gaining hands-on experience.
The average student/faculty ratio is 15:1.
The programs are taught in a competency-based format in which each student works with reasonable independence
utilizing numerous learning resources, and individual and group instruction. Competency-based learning allows students
to progress as they learn mastery of academic content and fabrication techniques.
The orthotic and prosthetic lab has 9,000 square feet of space including individual workstations for 32 students.
Surrounding the main lab space are multiple rooms filled with specialized tools and equipment. The adjoining 1,200-square foot
classroom is used for lectures and guest speaker presentations.
Following three quarters of formal classroom training, students participate in a
five-week clinical experience, sometimes in another city, to practice fabrication skills under the supervision of a
certified orthotic or prosthetic practitioner.
While most college programs start in the fall quarter, students may enter the O&P programs in the fall, winter, or
spring quarter. Students usually finish the program two years from their starting date. Orthotic and prosthetics
classes are not conducted during the summer.
The Orthotic-Prosthetic Technician programs are housed in the Technical Arts Building on the campus of Spokane Falls
Community College. Students train in a 9,000-square foot laboratory designed to closely duplicate a large, state-of-the-art
O&P facility. The main lab contains individual workstations and is surrounded by specialized rooms that house equipment
specific to the fabrication process. The adjoining 1,200-square foot classroom is used for course lectures and guest
speaker presentations
The 2,800-square foot main lab provides abundant room for each student to work and learn in a safe, well-lit
environment. Each student has his/her own workstation consisting of a rock maple workbench, appropriate vises
and bending fixtures, and alignment equipment. Storage lockers are provided for projects and personal belongings.
The plaster room is a large, bright work area where students build plaster forms called "positive models" that
are used for creating many kinds of orthoses and nearly all prostheses.
Students learn how to use power equipment for fabricating, modifying and finishing metal components in the metal
fabrication room. Equipment includes drill presses, grinders and buffers, bead blasters, and band saws with
duplicate machines so students don't have to wait for access. The room is large with generous space between each
piece of equipment for a safe work setting.
The sanding room is equipped with machinery used to trim and polish plastics for braces and limbs and to shape
prostheses. In addition to normal shop equipment, there are six socket routers specifically built for the
orthotics and prosthetics industry. A high volume dust collector reduces particulates in the air for healthier
In the plastic room students learn to fabricate limbs and braces using laminates, resins and vacuum-formed
thermoplastics. Two large convection ovens and an infrared oven allow students to heat the plastics used for
molding orthopedic braces. There are numerous vacuum stations for laminations and an excellent ventilation system
to help control fumes from the plastic resins.
The sewing room is used to produce leather and fabric components that are used on braces and prosthetic limbs.
Belts, straps, and suspension components used to secure devices are custom made for each patient. This area is
also used to perform shoe modifications for adaptation to orthotic components. The room contains large work
tables and industrial sewing machines.
The Competency-Based Education lab is available for students to access multi-media learning resources as part of
the O&P curriculum. Students also use this area for taking quizzes, tests, and accessing the Internet for research.
This 1,200-square foot classroom is used for course lectures and guest speaker presentations.

Sharing Memories (Week 27): Childhood Pets
This week I'm going to talk about my childhood pets. We always had dogs. The first dog I remember was a little black dog, I think he was called Blackie.
I really can't recall all the others (except the last one we had named Tinker), but every time one dog "disappeared" my mother would firmly declare that we were not getting another. A few days or weeks later, in would come my dad with a puppy....
We always put the new puppy beside the oil furnace in our living room, in a cardboard box complete with soft towel and an alarm clock to sound like puppy's mother's heartbeat.
When I was about 9 I decided I wanted a cat but my mother was allergic so cats were not allowed. Being rather stubborn, I told a neighbour that my parents were letting me get a kitten and she gave me one from her cat's litter to take home to see if my parents liked it.
I kept the kitten in a suitcase in my closet (lid propped a bit for air of course!) and fed it milk and mushed up meat. After a couple of days my parents figured it out - turns out the neighbour asked my dad how they liked the kitten! Of course the kitten went back immediately to the neighbour. I honestly don't remember getting a lot of grief over it, just a lecture on allergies and telling fibs and going against your parent's orders.
In true poetic justice, when I was older and had my own home I bought two kittens, Over the next year or two I kept getting sicker and sicker, ending up in hospital several times, until allergy tests showed I was allergice to (guess what!!) CATS!
Now I just have dogs. And a donkey. And guinea fowl and chickens. But no cats.

It's dogs all the way for me. Many Weimeraners over the years - Markus, Brutus, Baron, Bruno. Then I left home and my husband and I got a German Shepherd named Caesar, then another - Max, of course! And now we have a Great Dane cross named Bella. We got her from Pet Rescue who saved her from the pound. She was going to be put down because no one wanted her. She is the most beautiful princess.
Back to the childhood memories, my brother wasn't interested in having his little sister hanging around, so Brutus & Baron were my friends. We played together, went for walks, and generally had loads of fun. I never could teach Baron to catch a ball though. I think perhaps he was far-sighted and just couldn't see the ball when it got too close.

Personal Statement
When she came to Goddard, Hillary Webb had already written and published books on altered states of consciousness, but she wanted more academic experience and grounding. Her work in the low-residency MA in Individualized Studies Consciousness Studies Concentration, explored the question of what it takes for individuals and societies to make large shifts in consciousness from both intellectual and personal-experiential points of view.
A month after graduating, she began PhD work in the psychology program at Saybrook Graduate School. She is now Managing Editor of Anthropology of Consciousness journal and the former Research Director at The Monroe Institute. Webb is also now a current Trustee on the Board at Goddard College.
Hillary speaks about her Goddard education:
Hillary: I had been looking into graduate programs, mostly those in the religion or philosophy departments of various "traditional" universities. While most of them offered the academic rigor I craved, they did so at the expense of personal experience as a way of knowing. These programs were all head and no heart and I wanted both.
At my first residency, I found myself surrounded by faculty and students who, because of the almost limitless possibilities for innovation within one's work at Goddard, were exploring the field in ways that I never could have imagined. Having the opportunity to interact with and learn from others in the field of Consciousness Studies was definitely the high point of my experience at the college: I found myself engaged in conversations on subjects that were as diverse as they were fascinating, from cross-cultural perspectives on death and dying to socially engaged Buddhism; from postmodern philosophy and its relationship to the occult sciences to the history and practices of ethnomusicology.
Professionally speaking, Goddard prepared me very well to step into the field of Consciousness Studies in its wider context. On a personal level, my four semesters at Goddard taught me more about myself than I ever could have imagined, and this has, in turn, accentuated my professional work greatly.
From Hillary's thesis, Paradox and the Reconciliation of Opposites:
In general, belief systems can be distinguished by their relationship to the opposites. Some favor separation, relying, at least in part, on a strict dualism that emphasizes the antagonism of the polarities, with one side being responsible solely for all that is "Good" and the other side bearing ultimate blame for all that is "Evil" and must be destroyed. Anything that seems logically contradictory is considered to be, at best, a symptom of misinformation, or, at worst, an intellectual or spiritual perversion. German author Thomas Mann referred to paradox as "the poisonous flower of quietism, the iridescent surface of the rotting mind, the greatest depravity of all". Here in the West, it is often with this lens that we view the opposites of existence. Contradictions thus become treated as crises, something to be resolved so that the paradox no longer exists and we can go back to being comfortable in our one-sidedness. The core drama of heavily dualistic systems thus becomes the continuing confrontation between opposing principles that are seen as eternally at war with one another, with humankind acting as animae bona et mala sita-souls placed between Good and Evil, spirit and flesh. Under these systems of thought, each individual is expected to distinguish between what is "Good" and what is "Evil," and work to destroy the latter, with the price of wrong choice being eternal damnation.
The pressure! No wonder paradox causes us such angst, for, with our very souls at stake, the wrong decision has eternal consequences for us. Because of this ontological assumption we may find ourselves (consciously or unconsciously) performing all kinds of mental gymnastics trying to determine what choices will put us in the "right." And once we have made that determination, woe betide the individual who threatens to disrupt our conception of "Truth"!
But while some traditions consider paradox to be a spiritual and intellectual "perversion" that must be transcended, other cultures and belief systems seem to have taken a much different attitude towards the relationship of opposites, viewing paradox not as evidence of the frailty of human reason, but-quite the contrary-as evidence of certain ineffable truths about the universe. Some even see it as a gateway to experiencing Ultimate Truth. Now, this is not to say that any system is completely non-dual. Even so-called "non-dual" traditions make necessarily dualistic distinctions such as "inner versus outer" and "truth versus illusion" in order to articulate and give form to their cosmologies and practices. However, where they differ from their dualist counterparts is that instead of seeking to make one side of the equation absolute by attempting to eliminate the other side, these traditions have in common the belief that opposites are not antagonistic, but complementary and, even more importantly, dependent upon one another for their existence. Therefore, the overriding argument is that one cannot and should not be eliminated since each has meaning only in relation to the other; that the destruction of one side would lead to the inevitable destruction of the other. In addition, in many of these cases the paradox that polarity creates is seen as revealing their ultimate unification at higher levels of consciousness. Instead of acting as a hindrance to this ultimate reconciliation into Oneness, paradox can therefore be used as a tool by which one can achieve spiritual enlightenment.
