CLEVELAND (June 9, 2009) - School's out for summer, but nearly 70 teachers from across the United States and Canada will be heading back to class for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Summer Teacher Institute from June 22 to June 26, 2009 at the Museum.
This year's Electrifying the Classroom will bring both K-12 and post-secondary educators together with arts education specialists, historians, curriculum designers, and musicians to learn how to use popular music to teach across the core-curriculum, energizing the classroom with an art form that speaks to today's students.
Institute participants will learn about some of rock's greatest legends while exploring the history and the communities that helped to shape the sound of popular music. Experienced educators will share their successes in the classroom, presenting their own rock and roll-inspired lesson plans. This year's Institute will include a Hall of Fame Series event featuring 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, Darryl McDaniels, of the hip-hop group Run-D.M.C. McDaniels will discuss his experiences as an innovative hip-hop performer and his work as a tireless advocate for arts education.
"Each year Rock Hall educators serve more than 20,000 students and teachers through the Museum's educational programming," said Jason Hanley, director of education at the Rock Hall. "Teachers often ask us how they can integrate popular music into their classroom teaching. We show teachers how they can engage students in a variety of academic disciplines by exploring different aspects of popular music," said Hanley. Education Programs Manager Stephanie Heriger, a former special education teacher in New Orleans, agrees. "I've seen it work. Bringing popular music into the classroom can help you reach students that might not respond to traditional instruction. As teachers, we sometimes need that 'hook.' Rock and roll can engage your class in ways you never imagined."
As one past participant noted, "I'm energized by the subject, and I have more information to work with in curriculum planning." Dr. Debby Thomas, a special education teacher from Pooler, GA added, "I have learned to try different things and to expand my horizons even further. I found this week to be one of the most beneficial educational experiences in my 30 years as a teacher. "
Making use of the Rock Hall's resources, including curriculum models from the Museum's successful Rockin' the Schools programming, the Institute will provide a forum for cutting-edge discussions about integrating popular music into the interdisciplinary classroom. Through the study of such models, teachers will identify ways to use music to deepen their own students' engagement with language arts, social studies, music, technology and beyond.
"The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Summer Teacher Institute is at the core of the Museum's mission and stands as one of our longest-running educational programs. Its success is due to the intense interest of both teachers and students in studying popular music," said Lauren Onkey, vice president of education and public programs. "Summer Teacher Institute provides K-12 educators a unique opportunity to come together for a week and collaborate with us on projects that further the study of rock and roll."
For their own work in the Summer Teacher Institute, participants have the option to earn two graduate credits from Ashland University for an additional cost.
Additionally, the Museum's curatorial department will introduce participants to the Rock Hall's collecting philosophy and to current special exhibits (including those on Bruce Springsteen, Motown, and photographer George Kalinsky) – the Museum's "backstage" work to preserve rare artifacts.

About Darryl "DMC" McDaniels
Innovator, motivator, philanthropist, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels changed music and made history when he broke down cultural barriers 25 years ago with his legendary band Run-D.M.C. It would be hard to overstate his influence on popular culture. From the first rap group to grace the cover of Rolling Stone to the first to appear on MTV, to the first to go gold and platinum, Run-D.M.C. impacted the world. 30 million record sales later, and six years after the untimely death of his bandmate Jam Master Jay, DMC still continues to create, inspire and motivate.
His critically acclaimed 2006 single "Just like Me" featuring Sarah McLaughlin spoke to his new revelation of discovering he was adopted and began his journey down another life path, in search of his birth mother. His struggle was captured in the 2007 Emmy Winning VH1 documentary DMC: My Adoption Journey, giving him tremendous insight and purpose and prompting him to become an advocate for adoption and children in foster care. In between his work as a musician, published author and speaker, DMC co-founded the Felix Organization- a nonprofit that works with adoptees and foster children. He's received numerous awards for his many philanthropic endeavors and his many advocacies for the Arts and Education, including the Hard Rock's 2007 Love All Serve All Award. Run-D.M.C. was recently inducted into the 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For more information, visit http://www.me-dmc.com.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 102 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sunnybee Love it! I purchased this for storage and am really happy with it. My husband did the work putting it together. It took him a couple of hours, but he did it without much trouble. It's a solid piece. Well made and a good value. I like that it maximizes on height rather than floor space. Recommended! February 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by ABEAUDO0 LOVE IT <3 PURCHASED THIS TODAY FROM MY FAV WORLD MARKET STORE IN MATTHEWS, NC. THE SWEETEST MANAGER ALLOWED ME TO TAKE THE FLOOR MODEL FOR A DISCOUNTED PRICE (VERY FEW SCRATHES AND SCREWS NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED). STOKED ABOUT THE DEAL I GOT AND I DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT TOGETHER. :) June 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by khawes The perfect storage space Bought this dresser to go with two of the Chase nightstands, and what is wonderful about this dresser is that it has the perfect dimensions to sit in the back of my closet, without taking up space in the outer part of the bedroom. The drawers are deep, and sold. The thing weights a TON (considering my husband and I had to lug it upstairs in a apartment), so be advised with that during assembly. The assembly isn't too difficult, but do keep an eye on what hardware you use for it can be easy to mix hardware up if you're not paying attention. This is a wonderful dresser that has more than enough room for my husband and I's goods. Even though it's hidden away in the back of our walk-in closet, it still makes for a nice storage piece and it keeps us from having some chunky dresser take up space in our tiny bedroom. December 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimber Good quality Easily blends in with my mahogany bedroom set. Love the deep drawers and is very sturdy. The assembly is a pain but worth it. January 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CP bargain hunter Love this Dresser! I have looked and looked for a dresser like this. I needed a dresser that was tall and that would hold a 32" tv and cable box. I left the front off of the top drawer to set the box in. Works perfect! It was not difficult to assemble. I did it by myself and I'm a senior female so anyone can put it together. Unfortunatly one of the drawer fronts and side panels were cracked so I had to wait for the store to order another one for parts. The store personal was great all the way around. The drawers are nice and deep. Deep rich color, darker than pictured. June 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelly T. Sturdy Dresser This dresser is perfect for the space we have. We got it to go with the matching bed and love them both. It was a little difficult to put together but you only have to do that once! May 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen Beautiful Set I've had this set for 3 years and I love it! It has made it through 3 moves, and no chips. It is solid and sturdy and a beautiful dark espresso color. I have received nothing but compliments, and it looks like a much more expensive set. The displays in the showroom do not do it justice. December 8, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mar STURDY I have had this dresser for years and I love it. It has its marks of life, but it is so sturdy and I love the design. I have a smaller bedroom so this is perfect as it goes up instead of out. I like that I can really organize my clothes as there are more drawers in smaller size, not huge drawers that swallow everything. I would love to purchase another one. I have many pieces of fine furniture and like the fact that I can continue to purchase furniture like this without emptying my pockets. August 5, 2011

After a mastectomy, some women choose to have cosmetic surgery to recreate their breast. This surgery can be performed during mastectomy itself or later.
The breast is usually reshaped in two stages, or surgeries. During the first stage, a tissue expander is used. An implant is placed during the second stage. Sometimes the implant is inserted in the first stage.
Breast implants surgery
If you are having reconstruction at the same time as your mastectomy, your surgeon may do a skin-sparing mastectomy. This means only the area around your nipple and areola is removed and skin is left to make reconstruction easier.
If you will have breast reconstruction later, your surgeon will remove enough skin over your breast during the mastectomy to be able to close the skin flaps.
Breast reconstruction with implants is usually done in two stages, or surgeries. During the surgeries, you will receive general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free).
In the first stage:
In the second stage:
You may have another minor procedure later that remakes the nipple and areola area.
You and your doctor will decide together about whether to have breast reconstruction, and when to have it.
Having breast reconstruction does not make it harder to find a tumor if your breast cancer comes back.
Getting breast implants does not take as long as breast reconstruction (which uses your own tissue). You will also have fewer scars. The size, fullness, and shape of the new breasts are more natural with reconstruction that uses your own tissue.
Many women choose not to have breast reconstruction or implants. They may use a prosthesis (an artificial breast) in their bra that gives them a natural shape, or they may choose to use nothing at all.
Women who have had a lumpectomy rarely need to have breast reconstruction.
Risks of any surgery are:
Risks of breast reconstruction with implants are:
Tell your surgeon if you are taking any drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the week before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You may be able to go home the same day as the surgery. Or you will need to stay in the hospital overnight.
Results of this surgery are usually very good. It is nearly impossible to make a reconstructed breast look exactly the same as the remaining natural breast. You may need more "touch up" procedures to get the result you want.
Reconstruction will not restore normal sensation to the breast or the new nipple.
Having cosmetic surgery after breast cancer can improve your sense of well-being and your quality of life.

What does it mean when an answer is "accepted"?
When a user receives a good answer to his or her question, that user has the option to "accept" an answer. Acceptance is indicated by a colored checkmark next to the answer that has been accepted by the original author of the question.
Accepting an answer is not meant to be a definitive and final statement indicating that the question has now been answered perfectly. It simply means that the author received an answer that worked for him or her personally, but not every user comes back to accept an answer, and of those who do, they may not change the accepted answer if a newer, better answer comes along later.
Often, accepting an answer corresponds to reputation gains.
If you accept:
- someone else's answer: You gain +2 reputation and the author of the accepted answer earns +15 reputation.
- your own answer: No reputation is awarded, and the answer does not float to the top of the list. You must wait 48 hours to accept your own answer.
- a community-wiki answer: No reputation is awarded.

Welcome to the Ojo Caliente Gift Store
Give the gift of Ojo with an Ojo Caliente Gift Card!
Kay Kay's Adventures in Ojo Caliente Children's Book
Information from the back cover of the book:
Ojo Caliente is located in Northern New Mexico. The town is well known for the hot mineral springs and is about 50 miles north of Santa Fe. From there you can go on a hike to see the Posi Pueblo ruins. The Posi Ouinge (po-see-o-wing-gay) was actually the home to the Tewa Indians. According to the Bureau of Land Managementâs information flyer: they lived in and around Ojo Caliente during the late 1300âs until the early 1500âs. Also: Posi Pueblo was inhabited by generations for over a thousand years and the village may have had as many as 1,000 ground floor rooms and almost as many on the 2nd and 3rd stories. Another note in the information flyer that you can take on your hike from the BLM is that: oral histories tell us Posi-Ouinge wasthe Tewa home for a long time until an epidemic struck and the elders decided the people should depart. When you arrive to the area you can still find shards of clay from when the Tewa lived there. You however MUST leave any pottery or artifacts where you find them as it is illegal to take any. One can only imagine what a wonderful, spiritual place this once was. Another wonderful hike to do in the area is when the aspen trees are changing colors. This is what inspired me to write the Old Aspen Tree.

Editorial - Science, math are critical subjects, but don't forget history
Published: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 11:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 11:21 p.m.
"Why is it important if you don't know the facts about Yorktown? It means you have no idea it was the last battle of the Revolutionary War … Why is it important to know who George Washington is? If it hadn't been for George Washington, we wouldn't have won the Revolutionary War. Without George Washington, we wouldn't have the Constitution that we have and we wouldn't have the presidency that we have."
– David McCullough, historian
Are Americans losing sight of their past? Some history educators fear that we are. As schools increase their emphasis on science, math and standardized testing, they worry that students are losing meaningful instruction in history and civics, and that those classes stress rote memorization more than a deeper understanding and appreciation of the events that built our nation and our world.
And they have a point. It has become a national mantra that schools must prepare students for real jobs, and in the view of many people, the "soft" sciences such as history and other social studies don't make the cut.
Or, lawmakers attempt to mandate the type of instruction students should receive, and on what they should focus.
The nation's future depends on having students who understand the sciences and math, and who can prepare for future careers that will rely heavily on people with science backgrounds. But while many view history as boring facts about people who are long dead and places that no longer exist, it is and should be viewed as the story of who we are.
The importance of teaching history – and teaching it the right way, not as the painfully dull experience it can be for many students – has been championed by none other than noted historian David McCullough, author of numerous acclaimed historical books, including "1776" and the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographies "John Adams" and "Truman."
Repeatedly he has commented that "we are raising a generation of people who are historically illiterate."
He has gone so far as to suggest that the collective lack of knowledge of our own history is a threat to national security.
McCullough might be pleased to hear that some states, including North Carolina, are beefing up their American history curriculum. In our state, all high school students beginning with last year's freshman class will be required to take two American history courses to graduate instead of a single class, as was the previous requirement. Students are supposed to get a more thorough overview of our nation's founding principles as well as more recent events.
But it takes knowledgeable teachers with a passion for the subject and the freedom to go beyond the curriculum requirements to help students see history as more than a series of facts and dates that must be memorized.
History is the window that connects our past and present. When we look through that window, we discover the people, events, challenges, victories and mistakes that built the United States we occupy today. It should be fascinating, like a journey through one's family tree, helping us gain new insight into who we are and how we got that way.
It's not just about the past. History helps us find the foundation on which we can build our future. If we don't know where we've been, it's awfully hard to know where we should be going.

As We all know, good optics are very expensive, which one reason why I have way more firearms than optics to hang on them. Originally I was planning to rob an EoTech off one of my ARs to hang on the Saiga, but decided to look into something else.
Cheap optics are waste of time and money, especially on a shotgun. So I started looking to see if I could find something reasonable that would survive life on a shotty. I don't want to spend Eotech money, but wasn't going to waste my time with one of those $29 specials.
Based on Midways excellent reputation, TruGlo's life time warranty, and the published reviews, I decided to give one of these a try. The price is very reasonable and it is shotgun rated. I've used truglo products in the past (sights not optics) and found them to be a quality product.
I'll let you know my findings after I give it a good work out.

A bachelor of science degree in Technical & Professional Communication or in Journalism & Technical Communication from Ferris State University can prepare you to enter today's exciting, fast-moving world of communication.
Global communication and new technologies have created an information explosion in the fields of computers, robotics, biomedicine, space exploration, and manufacturing – in fact, in every area of modern life.
Those who can interpret and present complex, specialized information in a readable form to others in the professional area, to experts in other areas, to non-experts, and to the general public as well, are in high demand.
They are technical communicators. Technical communicators work in companies of all sizes, from small, contract communication firms to large, Fortune 500 giants. They produce everything from websites, technical reports, and newsletters, to marketing and training materials, help systems, and technical journal articles.
Journalists also play a key role in our information society — they must investigate and report events, issues, and trends to a broad audience. Journalists often act as a mediator or translator between the public and policy makers. Journalists must listen carefully, record information, distill it, and communicate it accurately and efficiently to the public.
For more information about Ferris' writing programs, contact the program coordinator, Sandy Balkema, PhD (email@example.com; 231-591-5631)

Pender assistant superintendent resigns
Published: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 4:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 4:34 p.m.
BURGAW | Pender County Schools' assistant superintendent is resigning her post, according to schools spokeswoman Joyce Keith.
The school board approved assistant superintendent Rachel Manning's resignation Tuesday. But Manning's last day and reasons for her resignation were unclear.
Keith said she did not have a date when Manning would formally leave the district.
Asked why Manning was leaving, Keith said Manning would need to be contacted for a statement.
Manning had been assistant superintendent for the district since 2007, serving as a principal before that. After former superintendent Allison Sholar left, Manning served as interim superintendent for a few months before current Superintendent Terri Cobb was hired.
Manning didn't immediately return requests for comment.
– Pressley Baird

Reviews for Burger Cookies
"Interesting and tasty."
"I used just a tiny amount of corn syrup and applied it with a small new artists' type paint brush. Worked like a charm. I was afraid the corn syrup would be sticky, but it wasn't at all. I made yellow frosting for the mustard, but didn't have red paste coloring, so for the ketchup I used melted red candy melts. That worked perfectly. My granddaughter and I made these together and they were a huge hit at the gathering we took them to. Tasted good too!"
"oh yeah, I used honey for the top bun (to put on the sesame seeds)."
"very VERY cute. kind of messy and takes a while to make, but absolutely worth the effort."
"this was a quick fun project to make for my daughters graduation party...I cannot rate the taste- as there was not one left over for me to try!"

Rated 3.2 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by poppy Adorable. The color and designs are exactly as expected. Very lightweight, not heavy. January 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Julie I love these beautiful glasses! I do handwash these glasses, because I read about breakages. I've only had them break when my kids dropped them. So, maybe handwashing is the key. April 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nan I love these glasses These are beautiful, comfortable, glasses that I love to use! My grandmother had them so they are nostalgic as well. They do seem fragile and although I have a granite countertop I have yet to break one! The price is right as well! November 2, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sharky Gorgeous but easily broken I bought these in green and blue. All but one have broken which is a shame because they really are gorgeous. Tonight I only opened the dishwasher (where it waited to be washed) and it broke! These lovely glasses are just too thin and fragile. September 25, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ranioula Beautiful BUT thin I bought ten glasses in three different colors. Two have already been broken. One broke in the cabinet when lightly hit by another glass, the other was pushed against my night lamp and broke instantly. I love their design and the feel of old times but they won't last. Two of them are really thick but the rest are too thin May 17, 2010

You can use Windows Media Player to copy music, videos, and photos from your Player Library to a portable device, such as a compatible MP3 player. This is called "synchronizing," or "syncing."
You can sync items to a device automatically or manually. When you connect a device to your PC for the first time, Windows Media Player selects the sync method that works best for your device, depending on its storage capacity and the size of your Player Library. You can always choose a different sync method.
To get started, follow these steps:
Connect the device to the PC and turn it on.
Open Windows Media Player, and then either tap or click Finish to sync automatically, or tap or click Finish and then tap or click the Sync tab to choose files manually.
There are many sync options you can experiment with. To see them, and follow these steps:
If your device's storage capacity is more than 4 gigabytes (GB), and your entire Player Library can fit on the device, Windows Media Player will automatically sync unless you choose to manually sync. If you keep the automatic sync option, you can either choose which files to sync or you can have the entire Player Library copied to the device.
Every time you connect your device to your PC while Windows Media Player is running, the Player automatically updates the contents of the device to mirror the contents of the Player Library.
For example, if you rip a CD to your Player Library, that album will automatically be copied to your device the next time you connect it to your PC. Likewise, if you delete items from your Player Library, those items will also be deleted from your device the next time you connect it to your PC.
Even if your device is set up to sync automatically, you can still choose which items are automatically synced.
If the storage capacity of your device is less than 4 gigabytes (GB), or if your entire Player Library can't fit on the device, Windows Media Player will manually sync. You'll need to follow a few steps every time you want to add or remove items from the device.

For one day, at least, Tiger Woods isn't the most hated husband in America.
The internet is abuzz about the alleged affair by Sandra Bullock husband Jesse James. According to People Magazine, Bullock moved out of the couple's Southern California home just days before the report about the indiscretion with a tattoo model Michelle McGee.
Bullock praised James for surge of success in her career, including her Oscar win for the football movie "The Blind Side," after their 2005 marriage.
The Blind Side, released in 2009, is based on the true story about the life of Baltimore Ravens left tackle Michael Oher.

|Soccer takes down Boise State
MOSCOW - Chelsea Small looked very comfortable playing in her first rivalry game as a Vandal, as the freshman netted a pair of second-half goals and the Idaho soccer team downed Boise State by a 3-1 margin at Guy Wicks Field.
"I really think it was a huge team effort," Idaho head coach Pete Showler said. "We defended stoutly, we played through the midfield with composure, and our forwards battled and scored great goals, and I can't ask for much more as a head coach."
In a key Western Athletic Conference game, Idaho (9-7, 2-3 WAC) outplayed Boise State (7-6-4, 2-3 WAC) in the final 45 minutes after the teams battled to a 1-1 halftime tie. The win gives Idaho an important tiebreaker over the Broncos in the conference standings.
Small put together her second career multi-goal game, while junior Jenn Hull moved into fourth all-time at Idaho with her 12th career goal. All three assists came from different players, as freshman Megan Lopez set up Hull's shot in the first period, freshman Lauren Layton sent in the pass on Small's first goal and sophomore Desirae Hull sent Small forward on the third goal.
The Broncos struck first with a Shannon Saxton strike in the 16th minute, but Jenn Hull was quick to answer. Just under five minutes later, Lopez broke down the middle of the defense before sending a quick tap to Jenn Hull, who fired a diagonal shot to the left post to get things all square at the 21:06 mark.
Small headed in the game-winner 13 minutes into the second half after Layton sent in a high cross. Idaho withheld a strong barrage from BSU for the next 23 minutes, until Desirae Hull intercepted a BSU pass deep in the Idaho zone and sent a booming pass perfectly forward to Small, who beat the keeper high from about 20 yards out at the 81:21 mark to put the exclamation point on the win.
"They (Boise State) threw everything but the kitchen sink at us," Showler said about BSU's rush late in the second half. "They played good soccer, they knocked it around, and they were physical, and when you put all those attributes together, it's a difficult team to beat, and that makes this win a good one."
In addition to breaking Idaho's three-game skid and getting the Vandals a key conference win, the game also gave the Idaho women in-state bragging rights for the first time since the 1999 season. Both teams beat Idaho State earlier in the year at the Governor's Cup tournament.
"This was the first time we've beaten them or won the Governor's Cup since I've been here, so today was extra sweet," Idaho senior defender Sari Morrison said. "Everything about this win was good today."
Idaho out-shot Boise State by a 17-13 margin, with seven shots on goal, compared to five. Fouls were close, as Boise State was whistled for eight, while Idaho had seven, but three BSU players earned yellow cards for rough play. Both teams tallied four saves.
Small led the team in shots with seven, including five on-target attempts. Jenn Hull attempted three, while Morrison fired two. Sophomore goalkeeper Liz Boyden stopped four shots and allowed one goal.
The three goals scored by Idaho are the most allowed by Boise State in a game this season and the most Idaho has scored in the series between the two teams. The Broncos entered the game as the WAC's top-ranked team in goals allowed (12) and goals-against average (0.71).
Morrison said that they key for the team to end its three-game skid and get back to its winning ways was to simply relax and enjoy themselves on the field.
"The coaches showed us a highlight video before the game - we didn't really even talk about Boise State, they just said 'Look, you guys can score goals. You've done it all year. Let's just go back to having fun.'" Morrison said. "Today was fun."
Idaho will try to build on its momentum this weekend with a road trip that starts at San Jose State on Friday at 3 p.m. and finishes on Sunday at Fresno State at 1 p.m. The regular season will finish up on Nov. 1, as the Vandals host Hawai'i at Guy Wicks Field at 1 p.m.

From MORE'S 2008 package on politicians who cheat. Can therapy prevent these powerful men from self-destructing?
It's hard not to do a double take when yet another political scandal surfaces involving mind-blowingly bad judgment on the parts of men in power and women who should not be in the room with them. "What were they thinking?" is the question indeed.
Many pundits interpret these moments as some kind of revelation of politicians acting out fantasies that all men would pursue if they could. I don't buy that. I do not believe that these transgressions of judgment are about some kind of innate male skankiness. The reason these men keep finding themselves in insanely stupid relationships has to do not with American puritanical feelings about sex drive but with American puritanism about mental health.
Think about life on the presidential campaign trail (or on Capitol Hill, or in the Oval Office). You could not create a situation more perfectly designed to trigger anxiety or depression—massive responsibility, unrelenting physical exhaustion, the extreme ups and downs of polling, the disorientation of being surrounded by hangers-on and yes-men and -women. But those in power or seeking it know that therapy is off-limits—no matter the stresses and despite the fact that millions of Americans are on some kind of antidepressant or antianxiety medication, and every other Californian or New Yorker sees a shrink.
What does this taboo do to our nation's leaders? It makes them nuts. But we do not allow our leaders even to have psyches, much less tend to them. Our model of political leadership—especially the male variety—is of a person who rarely in-trospects and scarcely feels. (Powerful women seem to be different—perhaps because they're comfortable blowing off steam with a trusted girlfriend.)
I believe this is one major reason we keep seeing these scandals. It's not just that people lose their judgment when their ego is distorted by power; it is also that people desperately crave an all-supportive, accepting, confidential presence when they are under stress, and to men a sexualized (or commercially sexualized) relationship may be the simplest way to fill that need. Don't forget, the job of a political spouse is also hard and unnatural; it would take a saint or a martyr to provide uncritical adoration at home. Plus, spouses have needs too—and shrinks don't. That is one of the delights of the therapeutic experience. Sex workers also don't show their needs on the job. Neither, generally, do interns.
Our candidates and leaders are stuck in a mental-health time warp, in Vienna, just before Freud. It's time to let themlive in the U.S. in 2008—a place where everyone and his brother has a subconscious, if not a mood disorder. This is not to excuse or exonerate, it's simply to say that we can't expect our leaders to live in a way that would drive anyone into their own worst self. If we want to avoid seeing our leaders act out impulsively—whether with young women in bed or with unnecesssary warmongering abroad—let them talk through their impulses and confusion in private with trusted counselors. Keep America safer; let our leaders have shrinks.

Thursday Nights at the Cinematheque: Krzysztof Kieślowski Retrospective Spring 2013
Manzanita Hall (Directions & Parking)
Thu., February 21 - 7:00 PM
The following screenings are open to the campus community and to the general public. Admission is free. Screenings begin at 7 PM. Hosted by Professor Tim Halloran.
Jan 24
The Scar
Kieślowski's feature film debut tells the story of the shifting fortunes of a massive factory project in rural postwar Poland. The Scar is filled with the vivid characters, lucid imagery and the incisive but even-handed social criticism that would define his early films.
Jan 31
Kieślowski Documentaries and Short Subjects
A program of short films and documentaries made by Kieślowski between 1969 and 1980. More overtly political than his later feature films, these earlier efforts nonetheless reveal Kieślowski's talent for capturing the broad complexities of the human condition.
Feb 7
Camera Buff
Camera Buff is a tragi-comic exploration of the craft of filmmaking. Insightful and self-reflexive, this fictional film about a documentary filmmaker is commonly referred to as a watershed in Kieślowski's transition from documentary to fiction filmmaking.
Feb 14
Blind Chance
Kieślowski's Blind Chance presents three separate storylines, told in succession, about a man running after a train and the different futures that could result from this seemingly ordinary incident. A transcendental meditation on fate, coincidence and choice.
Feb 21
No End
In No End, Kieślowski tells the story of a woman coping with the death of her husband during Poland's turmoil of the 1980s. Here Kieślowski reveals his career-long interest in the connections between the individual psyche and the politics of collective institutions.
Feb 28
Decalogue I & II
Kieślowski's Decalogue explores the timeless moral issues of human existence through ten contemporary tales inspired by the Ten Commandments. The series begins with the first two touching and thought-provoking episodes, Decalogue I and Decalogue II.
Mar 7
Decalogue III & IV
The Decalogue continues with the next two episodes, Decalogue III, which tells the story of a chance encounter between a married man and his former lover, and Decalogue IV, where Kieślowski takes on the commandment to honor one's mother and father.
Mar 14
Decalogue V & VI
Decalogue V & VI continue Kieślowski's Decalogue with two episodes that were later expanded into longer feature films. Decalogue V deals with the commandment against killing and Decalogue VI addresses the commandment against adultery.
Mar 21
Decalogue VII & VIII
The Decalogue continues with episodes seven and eight of the series. Decalogue VII concerns a woman abducting her own child, who has been raised by her parents as her sister, and Decalogue VIII is about the complicated issue of bearing false witness.
Mar 28
Decalogue IX & X
The Decalogue series concludes with Kieślowski taking on the coveting of another's wife in Decalogue IX, and the coveting of goods in Decalogue X. A powerful pair of films to close-out the series in a playful way and with a darkly comedic flourish.
Apr 4
A Short Film About Killing
Kieślowski expanded the fifth episode of his Decalogue for this disturbing and violent feature film about a young drifter who murders a taxi driver. A highly provocative statement that became a critically acclaimed and award winning feature for the director.
Apr 18
A Short Film About Love
A Short Film About Love began as the sixth episode of Kieślowski's Decalogue. In this expanded stand-alone feature film, a young shy postal worker has his illusions about pure ideal love shattered by the woman who is the object of his obsessive fascination.
Apr 25
The Double Life of Veronique
Kieślowski's international breakthrough remains one of his most well-known and beloved films. The Double Life of Véronique is an unforgettable symphony of emotion and a mysterious, metaphysical rumination on identity, love, and human intuition.
May 2
Three Colors: Blue
In the devastating first film of Kieślowski's Three Colors trilogy, a woman reels from the tragic death of her husband and young daughter. More than just a blistering study of sorrow and grief, Blue is also a tale of liberation and a transcendent sensory experience.
May 9
Three Colors: White
The most playful and also the grittiest of Kieślowski's Three Colors films, White manages to be both a ticklish dark comedy about the economic inequalities of Eastern and Western Europe and a sublime reverie about twisted and irrepressible love.
|May 16
|Three Colors: Red
(Trois couleurs: Rouge/Trzy kolory: Czerwony )
(1994, 99 mins.)
Kieślowski closes his Three Colors trilogy in grand fashion, with an incandescent meditation on fate and chance. Red is an intimate look at forged connections and a splendid final statement from a remarkable filmmaker at the height of his powers.

Two Sussex County men are facing drug charges after police reportedly found them carrying more than 700 bags of heroin during a traffic stop on Del. Route 1 near Odessa on Saturday.
Alan Watkins, a 24-year-old Bridgeville resident, and Kyle Bitler, a 25-year-old Ellendale resident, were passengers in a Ford Taurus that troopers stopped for speeding on southbound Route 1 near Middletown-Odessa Road about 2 p.m., according to Delaware State Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Shavack.
Bitler reportedly was found in possession of 37 bags of heroin, stamped "Death Injection," totaling nearly 1 gram.
A search of the vehicle turned up another 681 bags of heroin, stamped "Death Injection" and "High Heat," totaling more than 17 grams.
Shavack said troopers were able to connect those bags to Watkins.
The total street value of the 718 bags seized Saturday is about $1,000, he said.
Watkins is charged with possession of heroin in a Tier 5 quantity and possession with intent to deliver heroin. He was later released after posting a $7,000 secured bond.
Bitler is charged with possession of heroin. He was released on a $5,000 unsecured bond.
The 39-year-old male driver, who police did not identify, is charged with driving while revoked and speeding. He was released on a $1,000 unsecured bond.
Shavack said the incident remains under investigation.

Dear all,
I have successfully installed plasma and now wish to start using it. The question
I have is how to compile a file that calls the plasma library? For reference I have
started with the example program example_dgesv_f.f , since it is the DGESV routine
I am ultimately planning to use.
(i) I am using gfortran, and built plasma against existing versions of lapack
/usr/lib/liblapack.so.3gf) , blas (/usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf) and cblas (/usr/lib/libcblas.so.3gf)
If I try the compilation:
gfortran -o trash.exe example_dgesv_f.f -L /data/work/fortran-2003-development/parallel/scalapack-test/parallel-develop/plasma/plasma-installer_2.4.6/build/plasma_2.4.6/lib -lplasma -lcoreblas /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3gf /usr/lib/libcblas.so.3gf /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf
I get the error message (I show just the first few lines):
/data/work/fortran-2003-development/parallel/scalapack-test/parallel-develop/plasma/plasma-installer_2.4.6/build/plasma_2.4.6/lib/libplasma.a(dtile.o): In function `PLASMA_dLapack_to_Tile':
dtile.c:(.text+0x1d8): undefined reference to `QUARK_Waitall'
dtile.c:(.text+0x32e): undefined reference to `QUARK_Waitall'
/data/work/fortran-2003-development/parallel/scalapack-test/parallel-develop/plasma/plasma-installer_2.4.6/build/plasma_2.4.6/lib/libplasma.a(dtile.o): In function `PLASMA_dLapack_to_Tile_Async':
dtile.c:(.text+0x7a7): undefined reference to `QUARK_Waitall'
. <etc>
It seems that I am missing something in the compilation line? Or perhaps the order is incorrect?
(ii)The second question concerns the file plasmaf.h , which is 'included'
in this example file. I guess one must ensure that this file to be in the same directory as
example_dgesv_f.f in order to compile the code. Can / should this file be edited,
or is it enough to simply make sure it is always included in a working directory?
Many thanks,

PCC in the News
News: PCC Divers Make A Splash At SCC/SoCal Championships
The 2013 season for Pasadena City College divers culminated with season-best performances for the Lancers at the South Coast Conference/Southern California Championships held April 12-13 at El Camino College.
Lancer women's frosh diver Gwen McKinley put up a season-best score of 147.35 points to take third place in the South Coast Conference 3-meter board competition. McKinley finished tied for sixth place in the SCC in the 1-meter board with 130.30.
"In the 3-meter, Gwen finished every dive vertical and looked so graceful she drew applause from the crowd on several dives," said PCC head coach Terry Stoddard. "The judges liked what they saw and scored her high on every attempt."
On the 1-meter diving, Stoddard said, "Gwen improved steadily all season her first year in the sport. Her last three dives were her best three of the competition to give her a season-best score."
In men's 3-meter diving, freshman Lancer Chris Anderson hit his season-best score of 177.45 points to take third place. Anderson (from Monroe High) did not participate in the 1-meter diving due to a prior personal commitment on Saturday.
Anderson's score was 13th best out of 40 overall Southern California divers, the largest men's field in region diving history.
"After hitting his head on the board at the Cerritos meet (March 28), which required five stitches, Chris became very focused on finishing the season with a flurry. He nailed his entry on his last two dives to pass two of his opponents at the end. It was a great finish for him to come all the way back to take third place."
The season has concluded for McKinley and Anderson as only the top 10 scoring divers (two alternates) qualify in each gender and each board for the CCCAA State Championships. The points scored by the pair will contribute toward the final PCC team scores at the South Coast Conference Swim Championships that will be held April 18-20 at Chaffey College.

Latest News
Today's Webcast With Lupe [Video]Posted byFebruary 25, 2011Filed under:359
LUPE IS SICK AND DOPE... ok I have to articulate my joy and enthusiasm for lupe and his music a little more intellectually. Lupe you have been my favourite rapper(plus the best) since I started listening to music. You are too skilled at what you do and you deserve way more appreciation and recognition not in terms of billboard charts though. The complexities of your multi layered subversive lyrics, your ingenious story telling and your fluid "flow" combined are unequalled, unparralleled and unmatched. I have so much respect for you and your music. And your japanese cartoon stuff is interesting. Truly inspirational. All I can say is dont quit.
Hey Salam bro! Congrats on the great music, keep up the good work. Would be great to hear you songs LIVE one day, if at all possible come out to the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. There's so many fans here. anyways Respect from Canada
STLDYNAMITE...I'm not too familiar with Joel Ortiz or any of the Slaughterhouse crew but I look forward to hearing their stuff, also looking forward to the long delayed Saigon album too.
What up Lu im an up coming artist working with Big Boi as of two days ago=) but I wanna let u kno ur music has carried me a long way and everyone that hears my music can hear you in ya kno. But yea stay up man hopefully we'll collab one day.-Fresco d kid
Lupe Go to sleep was amazing, the beat too. are there more songs with that type of simplistic beat coming up?
Will horn synth, army girl, scream, etc. ever be released for purchase? I purposely never downloaded them in order to support you as an artist.
Hey, Lupe...Few questions here from London, UK; Will food and liquor II be coming out this year? Also, are there any other records you will be releasing, because you said in one of your interviews about continuing with a possible The Cool II etc...Lastly, will there be more Sway (or any other UK artist) collaborations to come?
Also University of Maryland needs a good performance from an actually talented musician. I am tired of hearing names like Jay Sean thrown around. You need to come..I'd pay so much to see you live.
In your honest opinion, did Lasers' tracklist end up feeling exactly the way you wanted it to? Or did Atlantic have a negative impact on the final result?

PDN Video Picks: Sushi's Source, A Tale Told in Miniatures
The ingenuity and craftsmanship that go into photographer Lori Nix's images of carefully crafted dioramas and miniature models always elicit a smile, even when the subject is dark or ominous. This past fall, Nix and her partner and collaborator Kathleen Gerber were asked by producer and writer Joe Sabia to help make a video on a serious topic: the overfishing of the world's oceans. The idea was to inspire people to consider this environmental issue by explaining where sushi comes from.
Directed by Vincent Peone, "The Story of Sushi" begins in a sushi bar then moves to a fishing trawler to a warehouse and back to a restaurant. Each location is actually one of Nix and Gerber's sets. It's at once realistic and playful, thanks to all the props and models, including toy sharks and billowing fog –all sourced, assembled or handcrafted by Nix and Gerber.
Gerber describes the seven-month project on the Lori Nix blog.
"The Story of Sushi" can be viewed on Vimeo.

Everyone's favorite NBA personalities chatted on a TNT hosted conference call Thursday afternoon and the guys engaged in a very interesting dialogue about the future of Dwight Howard and the handling of the Orlando Magic's superstar by general manager Otis Smith.
In summary, TNT's Charles Barkley thinks Magic GM Otis Smith isn't getting enough credit for his attempts to keep Dwight Howard while Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith believe the Otis Smith hasn't done enough to keep Howard involved in trade talks.
You'll recall Dwight Howard called out Otis Smith Saturday for not involving him enough in previous trade decisions, which Otis Smith later denied. I wrote a column about this topic Tuesday after the Magic's media day this Monday.
Check out highlights from today's lively conversation after me and Sentinel Magic writer Josh Robbins posed questions about the Magic's Dwight dilemma.
Charles Barkley – I think everybody is being unfair to Otis Smith to a certain degree. He don't want Dwight to leave and it ain't like they ain't trying to get him some help. They made a bunch of trades that just didn't work, but they're trying. Great players don't grow on trees.
In fairness to Otis, Dwight should have went to him privately. I don't think Dwight should have gone on TV and said they need to run these trades by me. I don't think any player, I played against Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, I don't ever remember any of those guys saying well I want the team to [run this by me]. Should they do it? Yeah, they probably should do it, he's earned that. But Dwight actually did come out first. He could have did that to Otis privately.
Kenny Smith – I don't think players should have that right, but it's always happened in the history of the game. I remember Magic Johnson saying he doesn't want to play for certain coaches. I remember Michael Jordan saying he doesn't want to play for certain coaches that were there and that's how Phil Jackson got the job. I remember Hakeem Olajuwon asking to be traded, I remember Kobe Bryant asking to be traded so this is not unfamiliar territory in NBA history, it's just how it's handled to make it familiar. You have to understand the temperament of today's athlete and the ability that they have to do that and to send move when they're a free agent. If I don't want my free agent to move, I have to swallow my pride and say you know what maybe he's right. C'mon in here Dwight, let's go talk.
Ernie Johnson – How much damage has been done to that relationship right now?
Shaquille O'Neal – I think a lot. I'm watching these interviews and he doesn't look happy. Otis doesn't look happy. Everybody's thinking about what the next move is. Business wise, Chuck is right. You have to meet with Dwight and say what are you gonna do. You can't string us along. If you want to leave, we have to get some pieces for you. Because if you let this guy leave and don't get anything in return, I think it'll be…(Barkley cuts off)
Charles Barkley – Dwight has to be honest Ernie. If he's going to leave, just tell them and then it won't be a bad relationship.
Shaq also posed the question if Dwight Howard is mature enough to be included in those conversations concerning Magic trade moves, but had this to say earlier in response to what the Orlando Magic should do regarding Dwight Howard.
"One, I think they should show him a little bit more respect and two they should really get another dominant player in there. If you look at the history of the league especially in the last 10 years, you have had a definite 1-2 punch and right now Orlando you only have a one punch," Shaq said. "No one can really do it by themselves, but you have Otis getting on TV and saying we're not going to do what he wants to do, we're gonna do this and do that, you're just giving a guy ammunition to say I want to go somewhere else."

glad the commentators are calling it out at least on these terrible no calls
DONT let them steal this win Melo
There was a list of who people thought who the best NBA on ball defenders are
How can you deny Shumpert the #1 spot? People gotta stop ranking the name of the person and start ranking their game instead

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Left tackle Jake Long has been placed on injured reserve by the Miami Dolphins because of a left triceps injury, ending his season.
Long, a perennial Pro Bowl pick, was hurt Sunday in a loss to New England. The No. 1 draft pick in 2008 might have played his final game for the Dolphins, because he can become an unrestricted free agent this winter.
Rookie right tackle Jonathan Martin will make his first start on the left side Sunday at San Francisco. He played left tackle at Stanford.
Tackle Patrick Brown and safety Tyrone Culver were signed Tuesday by the Dolphins. Brown played in 15 games with the Minnesota Vikings in 2011.
Miami waived defensive back Anderson Russell.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Vegetables
Amaranths: Ancient and Modern (page 2 of 5)
by David Cavagnaro
Decorative Amaranths
Capitalizing on the tendency of A. tricolor toward vivid colors, gardeners and plant breeders have created some of the most brilliant foliage plants of any kind. Unlike species of amaranths more noted for their flowers, A. tricolor bears its flowers inconspicuously where the leaf stems meet the plant stem, so the show is all in the foliage. In addition to decorative and cooking uses, you can use A. tricolor varieties as a brilliant edible garnish to perk up other dishes.
Thomas Jefferson grew 'Joseph's Coat', the oldest variety in America, at Monticello. First sprouting willowlike green leaves, 'Joseph's Coat' explodes into flaming yellow and red leaves at maturity. A similar variety, 'Early Splendor', has solid red leaves. The most popular new variety is a Japanese creation called 'Illumination'. At 4 feet, the plants produce a rosette of large leaves the size and shape of poinsettia leaves in sizzling red blushed with gold. For those who love hot color combinations, these decorative amaranths outpace all other plants.
The oldest of the decorative species in European history is A. caudatus, mentioned in sixteenth-century herbals and sold as early as 1810. Its ropelike wine red tresses earned it the sensible common name tassel flower. But like other inheritances from the dim mists of time, it's the more evocative, if enigmatic, names that stick: love-lies-bleeding is the favorite. Or how about discipline des religieuses, which translates as nuns' whip? By late twentieth century standards, that name may not conjure a pretty picture, but it's a memorable one of the ropelike flowers in use.
The plant also caught the eye of William Wordsworth, who wrote a poem about the myth of Venus and Adonis involving love-lies-bleeding in 1845. But it has fallen so far from favor that Sunset's Western Garden Book refers to it as "a curiosity rather than a pretty plant," an assessment with which I heartily disagree.
Love-lies-bleeding is now joined by a green-flowered lookalike, 'Viridis', an outstanding garden complement that's also favored by flower arrangers. The A. tricolor hybrid 'Elephant Head' (sometimes listed as A. gangeticus) is 4 to 5 feet tall and produces bulky, upright burgundy spikes with a distinct elephant-trunk shape.
From the grain amaranth species, A. hypochondriacus, come two new showy dwarfs, 'Green Thumb' and 'Pygmy Torch', that are less than 3 feet tall and have green and red branched flower clusters, respectively. Showy to the end, they also produce tasty green leaves when young, and useful grain when mature.
The A. cruentus hybrid known as 'Red Cathedral' (or as A. paniculatus or simply 'paniculatus') holds a special place in my heart as a decorative plant because the entire multibranched plant -- leaves, stalks, and flower heads -- is a deep, rich burgundy. The form grows upright to 4 feet or taller; other strains of the same plant are a bit shorter and more branched.

Of course I'm whispering! This guy is listening to everything I say…
Of course I'm whispering! This guy is listening to everything I say…
Image by Ed Yourdon
This was taken at Broadway and 80th Street.
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan — between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
As I indicated when I started this project in 2008, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting — literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture … after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
Thus far, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes …
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed … but there was just nothing memorable about them.
