Chapter 9 - "The Woes of Mrs. Weasley" - In which Ron and Hermione become prefects, Harry is jealous, and Mrs. Weasley's boggart is revealed.
[Harry] rushes out of the courtroom and into [Mr. Weasley], delivering the good news that he has been cleared of his charges. On their way back to the elevators, they then run into [Lucius Malfoy] and [Cornelius Fudge], who are of course rude to both harry and Arthur. Finally they depart - with Harry stopping to dump his money bag in the [Fountain of Magical Brethren] on the way.
Back at [number twelve, Grimmauld Place], [Harry] celebrates his acquittal with the [Weasleys], while wondering why [Dumbledore] had come in and out of his hearing without so much as glancing at him.
While cleaning mold from a cupboard, [Harry], [Hermione], and [Ron] talk about [Sirius] and Harry thinks about how glad he is to be returning to [Hogwarts].
The New Gryffindor Prefects
Booklists arrive, and [Harry], [Fred], and [George] are stunned to learn that [Ron] has been made a [prefect]. Soon [Hermione] walks in and, seeing Harry holding the badge, thinks it's him - but [Mrs. Weasley] distracts everyone with her joy at the news. When she offers to get Ron a congratulatory gift, he asks for a [broom], and soon everyone rushes off, leaving Harry and Hermione alone.
Surprised and upset at not being chosen [prefect], [Harry] struggles to talk with [Hermione], and when she walks out thinks to himself about his jealousy. Finally, he decides he's not going to be bitter, and when [Ron] returns sincerely congratulates him instead.
The day passes with the kids gathering together their belongings and preparing to return to [Hogwarts] - and with [Ron] admiring his new [prefect] badge.
A Party for the Prefects
[Mrs. Weasley] returns from [Diagon Alley] with a new [broom] for [Ron] and starts preparing to throw a celebratory party, as various members of the [Order of the Phoenix] arrive.
Over dinner, everyone celebrates [Ron] and [Hermione]'s having been made [prefects] and talks about their own experiences with [prefects]. Meanwhile [Ron] chatters about his new [broom], [Molly] frets over [Bill]'s hair, [Fred and George] buy some goods from [Mundungus], and [Molly] heads upstairs to tackle the [boggart].
Amidst the party, [Mad-Eye Moody] shows [Harry] a photograph of the original [Order of the Phoenix], many of whom were killed or tortured. Harry, upset, just manages to duck out and run upstairs.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Marcus Jordan saw to it that the unbeaten run for Central Florida (No. 21 ESPN/USA Today, No. 19 AP) stayed intact.
Jordan scored 22 of his 26 points in the second half to help the Knights rally past Princeton 68-62 Thursday night in the championship game of the UCF Holiday Classic.
The son of NBA star Michael Jordan scored nine straight points early in the second half to wipe out a 37-29 halftime deficit for the Knights (13-0).
Jordan took over almost every Central Florida possession. Just as important, he limited Dan Mavraides to just two points after the Princeton guard lit up the Knights with 18 points in the first half.
"Marcus scored 26 points, which was just an unbelievable effort, but the amazing thing was what he did defensively," UCF coach Donnie Jones said. "I challenged our guys at halftime to come out with an edge the first five minutes or we were going to the subs and [Jordan] certainly did that."
Jordan played on a sore ankle that prevented him from starting the previous two games.
"The ankle was killing me the whole game, but I just kept telling myself to push through it," Jordan said.
The sophomore guard shot 6 for 9 from the field in the second half and made 10 of 11 free throws. His fallaway 16-footer gave UCF its first lead of the game at 40-39 with 14:47 left in the game.
"He made a few shots to start the second half and you could see his confidence start to build up," Mavraides said. "I thought we did a pretty good defensively on him the whole game, but he made some really, really tough shots."
Mavraides finished with 20 points and four assists. Ian Hummer added 19 for the Tigers (10-4). Douglas Davis contributed 14.
Princeton scored the first eight points of the game and led by as many as 10 in the first half behind the 3-point shooting of Mavraides.

I'm studying basics of elliptic curves. I'm reading An Elementary Introduction to Elliptic Curves by Leonard Charlap and David Robbins. It is stated there that the divisor of a line (i.e. a polynomial of the form $ax + by + c$) can have only few forms, among them is $3\langle P \rangle - 3\langle \mathcal{O}\rangle$. I tried to find an example of a curve and a line on it that has such divisor, but to no avail. Can anyone provide an example? If it helps, they suggest that $P$ is an inflection point.

Let the base field be $F_2$ (hopefully you're fine with a finite base field). Let the curve be $y^2+y=x^3$ and the line $y=0$. The function $y$ has a pole of order 3 at the point of infinity ${\mathcal O}$ and a triple zero at origin ${\mathcal P}=(0,0)$, so the divisor of $y$ is $3{\mathcal P}-3{\mathcal O}$ as prescribed.
Edit: D'oh. The OP asked for examples in other characteristics. I'm apparently at a my dullest. Doesn't the same example work in any characteristic? (Except at char 3, because then the curve has a singular point). See a figure of the real points below.
The origin looks like an inflection point to me :-)

Teamwork is the cooperative effort by the members of a group to achieve a common goal. No one accomplishes anything of great value without the help of others. Without a good team you will eventually fail at fulfilling your vision.
Vince Lombardi, an NFL hall of fame coach of the National Football League's Green Bay Packers, said, "Individual commitment to a group effort—that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work."
So quit trying to do everything by yourself. Surround yourself with a good team because teamwork can help you get to your destination faster than you can by yourself.
Strength comes in numbers. United we stand and divided we fall.
Imagine trying to build the Great Pyramid of Giza all by yourself. It would be impossible. The Great Pyramid of Giza consists of an estimated 2.3 million limestone blocks. How would you measure and cut all those blocks by yourself? Better yet, after miraculously cutting every block, how would you transport them across the river to the construction site? Something to think about isn't it?
It is estimated that tens of thousands of skilled workers constructed the Great Pyramid of Giza, and seeing the splendid job that they did should convince you that teamwork is the way to go. Maybe you might not need tens of thousands of people's help to reach your desired destination, but a skilled group of people working alongside you can make a huge difference.

We all know her, or maybe we just wish we did. The girl who seems to just have it all together: not just in the style department, but with her life in general. She's sharp, quick, clever, witty, opinionated, accomplished, and philanthropic--and she does it all in killer shoes (did you get a look at that closet? To Die For). Why "the Best Girlfriend?" Because who wouldn't want to have a girlfriend like her--someone with her finger constantly on the pulse of what's happening, what's great, and what's next--but, most critically, someone who's willing to share the secrets of her style success? Presenting the latest Cleveland Beauty Examiner Profile in Style interview: Danielle Horvitz Weiner, sharing both her closet and her beauty secrets (don't you wish your best girlfriend had a shoe closet like that--and that you wore the same--tiny--shoe size!).
Hi, Danielle! Thank you so much for taking the time to dish on the secrets of your gorgeous style. Tell my readers a little bit about yourself!
I grew up in Moreland Hills and now live in Pepper Pike. I am a stay at home mommy to a baby girl and an Old English Sheepdog. I am involved in numerous non-profits in the Cleveland area and am very active with my college alma mater which keeps me very busy. I am a big exercise person in my downtime. I try to do something everyday. I really love power yoga and long walks-I also love to hike and take Barre class when I can. I love to read and a hot bath is my absolute favorite way to relax.
Tell us a little bit in general about your style (beauty and fashion). Who / what are your style influences? They could be anything--people you've known, celebrities, music, places, films, works of art…
My fashion style is pretty eclectic. One day I will be running around in yoga pants and my fit flops and the next evening I will be all dressed up. It really depends on my mood. When I am not in the mood to get "dressed" I tend to stick with skinny jeans or leggings and am pretty casual. For beauty during the day I like to look natural but pulled together. I have mastered the "no makeup" makeup look. I do love to get decked out when I am actually going somewhere. I tend to be more into designers than celebrities when it comes to who influences my style. I am really turned off by celebrities! I think Isabel Marant is fabulous and I really like how she is able to achieve that perfect Bohemian/Parisian-chic thing for daytime. I wear a ton of her stuff-I adored the paisley print she did for this season. I love the way a great jacket can transform a look. I have a ton of blazers-I really love Marant's trophy jackets that she does every season. Givenchy blazers are amazing-they fit my body really well and look just as great with denim as they do over a cocktail dress or leather pants. Alexander McQueen, Lanvin, Oscar de la Renta, Alaia and Mary Katrantzou are some of my other favorite designers but I really just adore all fashion-the really good designers are artists to me. I try and only buy things that I would want someone to pass down to me one day-I buy what I love regardless of if it makes sense for my lifestyle. I am definitely a bit of a magpie-I am trying to be better but I have a history of buying for my fantasy life!
Do you feel like being from Cleveland has influenced your style in any way? If so, how?
Not really. Maybe I own more sweaters than I would like to!
How do you define "beauty"? What makes you feel beautiful? Think broadly about this question and feel free to answer it in any way that you'd like.
I think beauty is an attitude. I think confidence is beautiful! I love it when I see a woman rocking a look even if it is completely out there and being comfortable in her own skin. I am a fashion girl at heart so fabulous clothes of course make me feel beautiful. I also feel beautiful when I am active and exercising-I think putting in the time to take care of yourself is so important and really makes a difference in how you look and feel. Start young and make it a habit.
OK, let's talk a little bit about your beauty routine, starting with skincare. What is your am and pm skincare routine? What products do you use? This includes body care as well.
My beauty routine is extensive! In the morning I use Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser. I tone with Kiehls Calendula toner and follow that up with Skinceuticals CE Ferulic. I use Magnolia, Jasmine, and Lily Healing Emulsion by Chantecaille and Fresh Lotus eye gel. At night, I use an amazing French eye makeup remover called Bioderma Crealine and MAC makeup removing wipes. I cleanse with Darphin purifying foam gel with my Clarisonic Aria. On alternate nights I will exfoliate with Skinceuticals Micro-Exfoliating scrub. I tone with my Kiehls and then use Sunday Riley Good Genes treatment. I moisturize with Natura Bisse Diamond Cream and finally end with Fresh Lotus eye cream. Wow. It sounds so long when I put it in writing! I love Molton Brown's saffron and patchouli body wash or Fresh Brown Sugar body wash. I adore the scrubs from Bliss...the minty one is amazing after a workout and I also use the Bliss Super Slough Scrub. I also love my Sara Happ lip scrub. For body moisturizer I use Embryolisse 24 Hour Miracle Cream or Aveeno. Aveeno also makes the best shaving gel. I am also a fan of Jergens Natural Glow in the lightest shade for summer. For sunscreen I use La Roche-Posay Anthelios mineral but I often use Dr. Jart BB cream which has a built in spf. I use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo for any blemishes or clogged pores.
Do you go to a salon for any type of skincare treatment such as facials, waxing, etc? Any salons, treatments, or beauty technicians you recommend?
I get facials and brow/arm waxes every 3-4 weeks. I like to do a Vitamin C peel when I get a facial-it is super gentle but keeps my skin looking bright and gives it a healthy glow. I have been going to Lisa Adams for almost 7 years. I followed her from John Roberts to her new venture Bijou in Solon. She is also a super talented makeup artist. She is trying to get me to be less of a product junkie and I swear it is impossible to hide stuff from her-she knows just from touching my skin when I have tried a new moisturizer or cleanser or something and she will chew me out!
Do you wear makeup? If so, what are your daily essential products? What special items do you add on for a special occasion?
Of course I do! I LOVE Dr. Jart BB cream for daytime. For a heavier foundation I use either Guerlain Lingerie foundation or Armani Maestro. I cannot live with out my Cle de Peau concealer stick in ivory. I use a Beauty Blender sponge to apply my foundation. I really like Urban Decay's eye makeup base-it makes shadow last forever. I use MAC mineral face powder and I love my MAC mineral blush. By Terry Rose de Rose is amazing for a liquid blush-it blends easily and gives skin a gorgeous glow. I use a Nars liquid eyeliner and my daytime shadow is usually Stila in Kitten which is the perfect neutral. For evening I sometimes do a smokey eye with Chanel Illusion D'Ombre eyeshadow but I tend to prefer a bright lip and a simple eye with major lashes. I have big blue eyes so I don't like to overwhelm them with crazy eye shadows. For mascara I love Diorshow or YSL, and I am loving the new YSL Babydoll mascara right now. I use clear Maybelline brow gel to keep unruly brows in check. I love Hourglass Ambient Lighting face powder in luminous light for a healthy glow. By Terry makes the best lipsticks...I have been using their Hyaluronic sheer lipstick in Dragon Pink for a bright special occasion lip. By Terry also makes the most amazing lip balm called Or De Rose. It is completely indulgent and is made with real rose gold and rose petals but it is amazing and lasts forever as a little goes a long way. I also love MAC and YSL for lipstick and everyday lipgloss. I have been using YSL Volupte Sheer Candy in Pomegranate a lot recently for my daytime lip. When I want to use lipliner YSL is my go-to for the smooth texture and great colors. I keep a MAC studio fix compact in my purse for touchups and shine.
Are there any Cleveland makeup artists you've worked with that you recommend?
I used Lisa Adams at Bijou in Solon for my wedding and use her for special occasions sometimes but I really love to do my own makeup. Lisa is fabulous though...she will spend an hour making your skin look flawless before adding any color. Most other makeup artists I have tried use too much eye makeup and don't put enough effort into making skin look perfect.
Talk to me about your hair. What are your must-have styling and treatment products? Take us through your hair styling routine. Who cuts / styles your hair? Do you color it?
I love Oribe shampoo and conditioner. Oribe also makes the most amazing anti-humidity spray. Everything in the line smells incredible and really works well. Kerastase Fibre Architecte is a must have for heat styling. I find that it really makes a difference in my split ends. I also use a little of Kerastase Elixir Ultime before styling. I blowdry and flatiron my hair most of the time but I will occasionally let my waves dry naturally. I have gotten both the Keratin treatment and Brazilian blowout but I think the Brazilian works much better on my hair. With the Brazilian blowout I can skip the flat iron step or even wear it without styling it which makes life a lot easier! When I can I get my haircut when I am in NYC by Gloria at Oscar Blandi. She is amazing. When I get it cut here in Cleveland Larry at Scott Fisher is great.
Do you wear fragrance? Do you have a signature scent or do you rotate among a few? What are your favorite fragrance notes (ex. vanilla, gardenia etc.)?
I do wear perfume. I rotate among a few. I like really unique stuff and am a bit random when it comes to notes that appeal to me. I love something with gardenia for day but prefer something a bit muskier and sexier for evening. I love scents by Clive Christian and Kilian for special occasions. I believe a woman shouldn't spray and tell...perfume should be unique to each woman.
I feel like accessories are such a signature part of anyone's look. Do you have certain special items that are essential to your own personal style, such as jewelry, tattoos, handbags, glasses, belts, shoes, even an old pair of jeans or perfect leather jacket?
I do have some coveted special pieces that I adore. I am definitely an Hermes girl. I love Birkin bags and think they are the most gorgeous and well made handbags on the planet. They truly are investment pieces and are meant to be taken care of for the next generation (thankfully I have a daughter). Celine and Balenciaga also make great bags and I adore the kitschy book clutches by Olympia Le Tan. Don't get me started on shoes. I have the most amazing Alaia leopard print boots with a huge platform that are so comfortable and fabulous (I even wore them when I was 8 months pregnant). I also love Manolo's and Jimmy Choo biker boots. I have a little Carrie Bradshaw in me apparently. Other than my engagement ring and a wedding band I am not a huge jewelry wearer. I do love a nice watch though-a lady should always be on time!
Looking back to the past, what piece of beauty advice would you give to your younger self?
Drink lots of water, go to bed early, be active, and wear sunscreen. Oh, and alcohol makes you fat so don't even think about touching it in college or EVER for that matter.
Looking ahead to the future, how do you envision your own personal type of beauty evolving in old age?
I guess I could see myself developing more of a signature look. Right now I have so much fun playing with beauty and fashion but I think when women get older they find what works for them and stick with it. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will age gracefully. I try and take care of myself now so hopefully it will pay off down the road!
If you could only use five beauty products for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Cle de Peau concealer, blush, mascara, my yoga mat, and Aquaphor!

Sharing the way
Describing a "what is Leadership?" can prove a challenge for a great many organisations. Unfortunately nowadays, leaders are expected to lead without ever being afforded the time to investigate what it means to lead.
Is leadership a about the result? Is it more to do with the process? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? It is a complex subject matter and one in which we all have a personal take.
Looking at history books can sometimes only add to our confusion, while there are similarities, there are often stark contrast in how the great leaders did their thing. While there is of course merit in the exercise, we sometimes forget to also look forward and envisage how the role of leading may evolve.
The collaborative approach is now the name of the game for a great many businesses. I have sometimes heard collaboration downtrodden by those who perceive it to be fashionable or populist, but with respects this is kind of just missing the point. Real collaboration has significant advantages that can not to be sniffed at. Smart people along with smart businesses are embracing collaboration now.
So my point is this, why then should leadership be any different in this regard.
Collaborative leadership is a concept I like, hence the principles behind "shared leadership" are ones which appeal to me greatly.
Let's be clear here, two traits that a leader must possess to operate shared leadership are courage and confidence – the courage to trust that people can do the job, and the confidence to not want to own leadership exclusively. Insecure leaders on the other hand, are much more likely to instead choose to surround themselves with yes men – who will provide reassurance over challenge.
The role of the leader changes in a shared leadership situation. The unburdening of his or her "William Wallace" allows for a new categorisation of responsibility. It can be summed up in difficult language or indeed, it can be summed up plainly. My tastes have always been for the less exotic.
• Find the right people
• Trust the right people
• Support the right people
• Let the right people get on with it.
• Manage the Interactions between the right people
• On occasion allow the right people to make mistakes
The collaborative leader is a strategist and manager of people but as importantly he or she is also a teacher and indeed sometimes even a parent. I repeated "right people" in my summing up; this is because one significant advantage I feel a collaborative leader brings is in their ability to recognise the right people. This is then coupled with an ability to develop these same people.
Crucially if you truly understand that it is the people that are the organisation's greatest resource, you should now begin to realise how fundamentally important this ability is in terms of success.
So then, if you are a leader, ask yourself the question do I need to own leadership? If the answer is yes, perhaps you may be in the wrong job??

For me, some extra graphics and maybe league reps. In season 10 as TNS and having to play the same route to Champs L every year is a bit boring. Is is supposed to be fast to play and fun. I would even drop 2d screens!

Secrets of Success
Back on Track!
Wednesday, January 26, 2011
Hi SparkFriends, long time no see/blog/message etc. The holiday season was a win/lose situation for me. I quickly realized that with all the wonderful joyous activities and preparations, I had significantly less time to commit to Sparkpeople.com, and I had to take a hiatus. I did a decent job of staying on my diet path, with a few mild indulgences here and there, but the good news was that overall I did well, and only gained about 2-3 pounds overall. I hovered around the 190-193 mark for about 2 months during the holiday season. I also had a mild setback when I suffered a pretty significant lower back strain. I have NO IDEA how it happened, but I had to really cut back on my lifting and pretty much just stick with cardio, and luckily I was pretty good about keeping up with that. The absolutely hardest part for me was getting back in the saddle, going back to my strict documenting of everything eaten, and getting back in the vigorous exercise habits I had developed. I have finally been able to get my ass in gear for the past week, and was pleasantly surprised by my weigh-in last week (190, which wasn't too bad considering how long it took me to get my motivation back). I was even more surprised, pleased, and highly motivated to see my weigh-in this morning, when I officially got to a grand total of 25 pounds lost since I started this journey in August! Dah-da-da-dah!!!!! Woo-Hoo! That just completely justified the hard work I put into recommitting myself and reversing some bad habits that I had slipped back into. Then I rewarded myself by buying a new pair of jeans today, and since I had a little wiggle room in a size 16, I went ahead and bought a size 14 as insurance to keep up the forward progress!!!!
So hello again to all my spark friends, I've missed you, but I'm sure you understand when messaging and blogging takes second place to your kiddos. We had an amazing Christmas, with so many lovely memories, and it makes it so much nicer that I don't feel guilty about overindulging all holiday, and was able to pick up where I left off!
Lessons I learned: as admirable of a goal as it was to be able to diet intensely over the holidays, it just isn't realistic for me as a busy mom to be able to commit the time necessary to maintain the level of intensity I had all fall. On the other hand, it is awesome and reassuring to know that the experience I built over a few months allowed me to maintain a generally healthy lifestyle and enjoy some occasional indulgences, but never overindulge, and keep up a good consistent exercise practice (minus the injury), and avoid what was in the past an inevitable weight gain over the holiday season. Lastly, I know now that if I dig deep, no matter how hard it is, I can find the strength to recommit to my aggressive lifestyle change and find success. I feel so good today that I can't wait to see what the coming weeks and months bring! And I can't wait to wear my new jeans! Next step, bathing suit shopping . . . shudder! I'm going to hold off for another month or 2 and hopefully I will have a pleasant surprise awaiting me there!!!!!

Great leaders work hard to adhere to rules of honesty and integrity. A person agreeing to adhere to verbal commitments should follow through to ensure being honest with self and others. General perceptions of honesty and integrity arise from the way we treat others; this should be with honesty and respect. Committing to pay a debt can be a verbal commitment, but it is also can be a contractual agreement. Legal actions may arise by failing to adhere to a contract. Failing to perform commitments where a written contract does not exist, may or may not have a legal route to correct the default. However, the failure to adhere to a promise is viewed as dishonest and leaves others with a negative view of that individual.
People generally shy away from interacting with those perceived as dishonest. Failure to adhere to a commitment causes people to doubt your values and they may consider you as dishonorable and untrustworthy. Such is the case of some political figures that make commitments. Many political figures are business managers that pursue politics on a local level. Occasionally, the politics overcomes their business integrity and they make commitments and fail to keep them. This failure creates lack of trust whether you are in business or politics.
Take for example a recent situation where promises were made to a military veteran that was also an elected to public office. The veteran received verbal agreements from others holding similar positions in a local government. The veteran knew a limited time remained prior to this end of life. Speaking with other leaders, the veteran believed a commitment was made to place his choice in the elected seat until the next elections. After passing away, the other officials decided to not honor what was believed to be a commitment by the veteran. In a different situation, an executive promised to raise a salary and prepare a new employment agreement following a certain transaction. The promises were ignored after the transaction was completed. Business leaders and political figures often change their minds. Regardless of the reasons, it is important to remember that honoring commitments is essential to business and politics.
There may be numerous reasons for failing to keep a commitment and they may even be valid and sound reasons. The problem arises because the failure to adhere to a promise makes one look dishonest. Unfortunately, many times the actions are dishonest or misleading. It is easy to forget the meaning of honesty and integrity and act in a manner not becoming of a true leader. We are judged by the perceptions of others. Honesty and integrity are an integral part of the perceptions. Negative feelings emerge regarding the trustworthiness of a business manager or political figure that fails to adhere to commitments. It is important business leaders and executives have the trust of coworkers, investors, partners, and collaborators. In short, if you make commitments, try to keep them. Do not make commitments, if you are in doubt!

A tigerfish catches a bird in a viral video and the incident is the first report of a freshwater fish preying on birds. The amazing video footage was captured at a lake at Mapungubwe National Park, which is located in South Africa. As explained by a Jan. 9 report from Nature, the tigerfish catches bird video has surprised scientists worldwide because it was not previously confirmed that a goliath tigerfish ( Hydrocynus vittatus ) is able to jump and catch a bird in flight, although rumors of this phenomenon have been around for years.
"The whole action of jumping and catching the swallow in flight happens so incredibly quickly that after we first saw it, it took all of us a while to really fully comprehend what we had just seen," explained Nico Smit, director of the Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management at North-West University in Potchefstroom, South Africa. "The first reaction was one of pure joy, because we realized that we were spectators to something really incredible and unique."
The team has just published the finding in the Journal of Fish Biology and Nature.com explained that the complete sequence of jumping and catching the fish (swallow) happened so incredibly fast that it took a while for researchers to really understand what they had just seen.

Legend that tigerfish were able to catch flying birds have been circulating since the 1940s but until now, there has been no documented case of this occurrence. The team studied the fish and they witnessed 20 successful strikes on birds. "We hope that our findings will really focus the attention on the importance of basic freshwater research, and specifically fish behaviour," Smit concluded.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Collier, Graham (James Graham Collier)
Collier, Graham [James Graham Collier], composer, educator, b. Tynemouth, Northumberland, England, 21 February 1937. Collier began his musical career playing trumpet in bands in the south of England, later taking up the double bass. On leaving school he joined the British Army as a musician, spending three years in Hong Kong. He subsequently won a down beat magazine scholarship to the Berklee School of Music in Boston, studying with Herb Pomeroy and becoming its first British graduate in 1963. He worked for a while in the USA, playing bass in the ghost version of the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra.
From 1964 he led his own band (Graham Collier Music) in the UK, largely performing his own music. Amongst Collier's sidemen have been many outstanding British musicians including James Allsopp, Iain Ballamy, Harry Beckett, Geoff Castle, Andy Cleynbert, Roger Dean, Mike Gibbs, Mick Hutton, Pete Hurt, Karl Jenkins, Mark Lockheart, Henry Lowther, John Marshall, Oren Marshall, Dick Pearce, Alan Skidmore, Ed Speight, Stan Sulzmann, John Surman, Art Themen, Derek Wadsworth, Alan Wakeman, Geoff Warren, Steve Waterman, Kenny Wheeler and others. Varying the size and format of his bands, Collier encouraged new concepts and young musicians, establishing the orchestral base from which Loose Tubes sprang. This multifaceted orchestra was to produce such talents as Julian Arguelles, Django Bates and Eddie Parker.
Collier was the first recipient of an Arts Council bursary for jazz composition, and has been commissioned by festivals, big bands and broadcasters across Europe, North America, Canada, Australia and the Far East. The international bands Collier has assembled for various special projects around the world have boasted the likes of Johanni Aaltonen, Ted Curson, Hugh Fraser, Palle Mikkelborg, Karlheinz Miklin, Terje Rypdal, Ed Sarath, Manfred Schoof, Tomasz Stanko and Eje Thelin. He has written for ensembles ranging from wind quartets to symphony orchestras. Over a career spanning more than thirty years, his list of compositions and commissions has grown to encompass ensembles and arts bodies around the world.
His latest group is the ad hoc big band The Jazz Ensemble, featuring a roster of regular collaborators, guests from Europe and America, and up-and-coming stars of the English jazz scene. He has also worked in a wide range of other media: on stage plays and musicals, on documentary and fiction film, and on a variety of radio drama productions, including a highly-praised version of Josef Skvorecky's novella, The Bass Saxophone , which won a Sony Radio Award, and an adaptation of Malcolm Lowry's novel, Under the Volcano.
His recorded output includes 17 albums under his own name, including Winter Oranges with the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra. All his earlier LPs are now available for digital download, and two highly praised archive recordings, Workpoints and Hoarded Dreams, have recently been issued by the American label Cuneiform.
He is equally well-known as an author and educator, having written seven books on jazz, jazz history, compositional technique and education - the latest of which, Interaction, Opening Up the Jazz Ensemble, a book and CD package was published in 1995 by Advance Music. In the early 1980s, he developed the six-year jazz degree course still running at the Sibelius Institute in Helsinki, Finland. In 1989, he launched the Royal Academy of Music's jazz course; the course's first graduates got their degrees in 1989. He remained artistic director of the course for ten years, until resigning in 1999 to concentrate on his own music. He has also taught seminars, lectures and workshops throughout Europe, North America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Far East. He was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in 1987 for his services to jazz.
In 1989, he was among the group of international jazz educators who formed the International Association of Schools of Jazz. He was Secretary of the IASJ's Daily Board for nine years, and in 1994 his Winston Churchill Fellowship report on "Jazz Education in America" initiated the IASJ journal, Jazz Changes, which he co-edited.
He left his full-time post as artistic director of the jazz course at the Royal Academy in 1999 to concentrate on composition. He currently lives in the mountains of Andalucia, southern Spain, where he continues to compose, travelling from there to present concerts and workshops around the world. He has recently completed 'his life's work', The Jazz Composer, moving music off the paper, a philosophical look at jazz and jazz composition, which will be published in 2009.
He lives with John Gill, a journalist, and his partner for over 30 years.

Home > News > Press Releases > Robert Haffey Named CKHS Chief Nursing Officer
Published on April 02, 2012
Robert Haffey, MBA, M.S.N., R.N., recently joined Crozer-Keystone Health System as chief nursing officer. He succeeds Nancy Bucher, R.N., M.S.N., NEA-BC, who retired from the health system after more than 30 years of distinguished service.
Haffey brings a wealth of nursing leadership experience to Crozer-Keystone. He most recently served as the chief nurse executive with the Memorial Hermann Healthcare System – Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas. During his time with Memorial Herman, Haffey also served as an adjunct professor of Nursing Systems at the University of Texas. Haffey previously held a number of leadership positions, including chief nursing officer and vice president of Acute Care Services, at Pennsylvania Hospital, part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. Pennsylvania Hospital is also where Haffey began his career; for nearly 10 years, he was a staff nurse, critical care supervisor and nursing director in critical care units at the hospital. His experience also includes serving as chief executive officer at both SemperCare Hospital of Lancaster and Select Specialty Hospital of Philadelphia.
Haffey earned his bachelor's at Temple University and his master's in Nursing at LaSalle University. He earned his MBA at Eastern University and completed an Academic Medicine Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. He is a member of the American Organization of Nurse Executives, American College of Healthcare Executives and American Nurses Association.
"I am glad to welcome Robert Haffey to the Crozer-Keystone Health System. He brings outstanding experience in nursing leadership to this important position. We are confident that he will be a great fit for us," says Joan Richards, Crozer-Keystone's president and chief executive officer.
Haffey says, "I'd like to thank Nancy Bucher for the years of service that she has dedicated to CKHS. Through her vision and guidance, the health system has plotted its course to excellence. Now, it is with great pride and excitement that I take the helm and accept responsibility for directing us to our ultimate destination."
He adds, "In the coming months, I will be meeting with many of our nurses to assess the health system's current strengths and weaknesses and develop a plan that will allow us to become "the" national model for nursing care. As a former bedside nurse, I understand that the best ideas and strategies for improving quality and safety often come from the people who directly care for our patients. That is why I will look to all levels of our organization for assistance."
Bucher had served as Crozer-Keystone's chief nursing officer since 2001. She began her career with Crozer-Keystone in 1978 as staff nurse in the medical/surgical division at Crozer-Chester Medical Center. Later, she was staff nurse and nurse manager of Crozer's Intensive Care Unit. Between 1998 and 1998, she was named director of Nursing and assumed increasing system-wide responsibilities during that time. She was named the health system's corporate compliance officer in 1998, a position she held until 2004.
Bucher has worked to transform Crozer-Keystone's Nursing Services from a top-down driven model to a shared decision-making model. Under her leadership, the Center for Nursing Excellence was established in 2007 and the health system made its first submission for Magnet recognition last year. She facilitated the creation of the Nursing Research Committee to promote nursing research throughout the health system; established the Supplemental Staffing Service program; and played a key role in helping Crozer-Keystone gain multiple grants to enhance the practice of nursing. A range of new clinical programs and specialty nursing units were developed during Bucher's tenure, including the ACE (Acute Care of Elders) Unit and the Joint/Spine Unit at Crozer.
As corporate compliance officer, Bucher developed Crozer-Keystone's Corporate Integrity Program, led the implementation of HIPAA privacy laws, and managed the health system's health disparity and health literacy initiatives.
Richards says, "Without a doubt, Nancy has enjoyed a distinguished career with Crozer-Keystone Health System and has certainly left her mark on our organization. She is a consummate professional who has achieved success because of her intelligence, leadership ability, tenacity and compassion. Throughout Nancy's career, there's been one common theme that has guided all of her decisions and actions: An unending commitment to quality and compassionate patient care. I wish her the best of luck in all of her future endeavors."
"It is difficult to lose an outstanding colleague like Nancy Bucher, who has distinguished herself through her leadership and dedication to our patients. But I think that we have made a great choice in Robert, and I look forward to working closely with him to help the health system continue to grow and thrive," says Patrick Gavin, Crozer-Keystone's senior vice president of Hospital Operations and president of Crozer-Chester Medical Center.

Yesterday, June 1, 2014, Punch Cigars began their three-month contest to give away $2,500 in Punch Cigars and fishing gear. The contest is being done along with BassMaster. Participants can enter the contest directly or play an online fishing game to increase their chance to win. The contest will run through August 31, 2014 and entrants can enter each of the three months.
Punch is a line of five cigars from mild to full flavor. Most of their cigars are well rated due to their excellent construction and flavor. Although often thought of as Cuban cigars, they are mostly made through a combination of Honduran, Nicaragua and Ecuadorian ingredients. Whether one is talking about the filler, wrapper or binder, if you are buying a Punch cigar in America, it did not come from Cuba. We expect to review one or two Punch cigars next month, so make certain to subscribe to this column to be notified via email.
Punch Cigars are marketed exclusively to men as their website contains the 'Punch Man's Blog' and 'Grill Guide'. The website also offers various manly beef guides to 'pair' one's Punch cigar. In addition, perhaps just like the men they are marketing to, much of these ancillary 'guides' are out of date. With this latest contest, it furthers its interest in Punch being considered a man's cigar, with the link to Bass fishing. Punch may benefit in widening its appeal to the growing number of women smoking cigars these days. It is not uncommon to be at a cigar bar where there are four women for every ten patrons.
The premium cigar industry, for which Punch is a part, has been fighting with the federal government over regulation and taxes, especially under April's announcement by the FDA it putting cigars within its purview. The FDA announcement lumped premium cigars with e-cigarettes even though most e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco, but do contain nicotine. Cigar Rights of America is asking its members and non-members to sign an online petition to thwart the FDA's threat to the industry.

|E.I.C.M.A. 2013 (TFC Event) -- Automotive Parts/Services Eq., Sporting Goods/Recreational Eq.
|Event Summary:
EICMA is the premier annual trade event for the motorcycle, moped, and scooter sector in Italy. EICMA 2012 hosted 1,053 exhibitors on 135,000 square meters of exhibition space, and welcomed 39,245 trade visitors and 510,560 trade and consumer visitors from 110 countries.
EICMA features moped, motorcycles, scooters and tricycles (including electric); separate parts and accessories for motorbikes; a growing customizing segment; helmets, apparel, luggage and accessories of all types.
The main categories of products showcased at EICMA include:
• motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, electric 2-3-4 wheeled vehicles
• aftermarket parts and components of power sports vehicles
• aftermarket accessories for the power sports industries
• motorsports apparel
• helmets and safety gear
Market Potential: According to ACEM (the professional body of the European Motorcycle Industry that represents the interests of 13 powered two-wheeler manufacturers producing more than 30 brands, and 15 national associations), Italy has the greatest number of motorcycles in Europe, (2.4 million mopeds smaller than 50cc and 6.3 million motorcycles greater than 50cc.). In 2011, almost 330,000 new vehicles were registered: over 253,000 vehicles over 50cm³ and over 75,000 mopeds under 50cm³.
The Italian market offers interesting opportunities to those U.S. companies able to provide high-tech motorcycles, unique designs, accessories and safety devices, etc. The same is true for companies that produce hybrid and zero emission vehicles, a sector that has increased in its importance in recent years. In particular, the products that combine respect for the environment with features attractive for the demanding consumers hold the key to success. It is impossible to identify all the sub-sectors that could offer good opportunities to U.S. companies: ATVs, UTVs and Off-Road vehicles; Customized vehicles and accessories; Electronics; Gear and Apparel / Helmets / Luggage; Motorcycle tourism; Parts & Maintenance, Tools & Equipment; Racing & Performance; Safety and security devices; 'Green' vehicles (including parts and components).

Rain washed out play at the North Central tennis regional Tuesday, postponing matches to 4 p.m. today. Regional final matches will be held Thursday at 4 p.m.
Sectional champion New Palestine (13-3) will face off against Lawrence North (11-8) today.
Also, in a matchup of No. 1 doubles teams, Greenfield-Central's Max Holtzclaw and Jake Kauth (19-3) will take on Mt. Vernon's Ben Bobb and Corey Beck (1-2).
MV No. 1 singles player Bryce Bobb (10-8) is also still alive in the state tournament, but must wait for today's matches to play out before his opponent is determined.
NP advanced to regional by defeating MV 3-2 and G-C 4-1 for the program's fourth sectional crown in the past five seasons. The Marauders won the sectional last season by topping Eastern Hancock 5-0.
Holtzclaw and Kauth moved on by besting EH's Garett Hammond and Danny Rash 6-0, 6-4 in the semifinal round at sectional. They then beat NP's Shayan Khokhar and Evan Poole 7-5, 6-3 in the finals.
Ben Bobb and Beck only recently started playing together, but the duo triumphed over Khokhar and Poole in three sets during the sectional semifinals.
Both doubles teams, in addition to Bryce Bobb — who beat sectional champ Brent Barrett of NP in three sets in the sectional semifinals — advanced since they were undefeated in sectional at No. 1 doubles and No. 1 singles, respectively.

Trying to Get Back on Schedule
I have to laugh at myself because I am often saying how I am not…
Before I was Mom I could drink any alcoholic beverage, stay up all night long and sleep all day. Before I was Mom, I loved to go out dancing and partying all night. Before I was Mom I loved to randomly invite strangers back to my apartment for an "after party" fun game of cards and maybe even some home cooking. I had fun, I had a blast, but that was BEFORE I BECAME MOM.
It is so funny how I went from party queen woman to responsible Mom person. I drive through my town daily and see all these young girls and boys that are pushing a stroller, smoking a cigarette and dressed half naked and I think, "really, are you a Mom or a kid? And where is your parents?" I can not imagine raising my children as a child myself, but I also could not imagine showing my children such a lifestyle of walking the streets daily and hanging with the "bridge people" as we used to call them in our high school years.
I get sad when I see these babies do not even have a chance, they will grow up thinking walking the streets, doing drugs and getting drunk is the ONLY way of life. This makes me so sad, because it is no one else's fault but the parents and the parents of these young mothers and fathers. The young mothers and fathers are not always teenagers, they are adults, at age 18 they think they know it all and rule the world. They can raise these children, but the sad fact is, these young parents are simply raising their babies the same way their parents did, which creates a cruel cycle of lost children and adults that do not know any better than to get drunk or do drugs and follow in the foot steps of their parents. Often times these babies of these families grow up to be uneducated high school drop outs, or worse, drug dealers. {I am not saying a drop out can not make something of themselves – because I know many who have – but these particular families have no such interest in doing more than walk the streets day in and day out}
When I became a mother I made a personal, internal decision. I asked myself, "what kind of mom will you be?". My first instinct was to say " I wont' be like my parents" Isn't that what we all say? But as I thought harder, I realized my actual answer to this question was, " I will be the Best Mom I can be. I will do all I can to create a individual who can think for themselves, make mistakes & learn from them, and grow up to be a bright individual person". I wanted to be the best Mom I could be, I wanted to take some of the great parts of my parents and combine them with my great parts to create a new version of my parents. A version unlike anyone else, because that is ME, I am a person, I am not my Mom, and I am not my Dad. I am Brandy, mother of three, positive thinker and creative writer.
I will not say it was easy for me to give up the partying, because even today after three children I miss those partying days and I long for a nice night out to get drunk and have a little adult fun. Being a parent is not always easy, it requires you to think about your children before you act. You need to ensure all that you are doing is something you want your children to see.
This is a subject I am very passionate about, teaching your children through your actions and I will be writing about this during the remainder of the week and through the weekend, citing references from areas of my life where I changed and inviting you to comment on areas of your life you changed when you became a parent. I am even going to try to get my hubs to write some on his blog, Daddy Knows All, so that you can get a well rounded Mom and Dad's perspective on how life changed when we became parents.
Be sure to subscribe to my blog so that you can read my daily posts. If you are interested in hearing my husband's point of view on this subject please visit his blog to subscribe.

i think that many of those young moms think of their child slung on their hip as and accessory, like a cute handbag, nothing more. they just carry it around all day, doing what they have always done. drives me crazy! very good post!
momma d's last blog post..Super Shoprite Savings 5/31
I agree with you that being a parent carries with it a certain level of responsibility and part of that is setting a good example for your children.
That said, having a little fun isn't a bad thing either. But then again, maybe my fun is more tame than the fun you used to have in your pre-kid days. 😉
Children need to see that grown-ups can let lose and have safe harmless fun. It's just another area where we need to be setting an example. A child who never sees his parents drinking alcohol won't know how to pace himself, etc.
So I'd say be aware of your actions, don't do anything you wouldn't want your child to be doing at your age, but also, have fun too.
Jessica (@It's my life…)'s last blog post..Turns out we need a whole new kind of scale
I sent you an email. I do agree that children do need to see parents having fun. I mean in the real world we make mistakes, we drink, we may smoke a cigarette, etc. By all means I want my children to see the real side of people. I do not pretend to be some fake person and am not perfect. I just am not one to raise my children in a party house – and many of the young ones I see around who are parents – raise their children in party houses. And I mean EXTREME. Again this is my personal observations and opinions of course 😉
I resemble that thought! Really… I used to be that person, but I knew I was raised better and my kids deserved better, so I did a complete 180 and here we are. I'm not perfect but no one is.
but I'm definitely more boring than I used to be….
Angie's last blog post..New Coupons at Cellfire
I'd love to weigh in on this one. You are right on Brandy. We RARELY and I mean RARELY drank around our children. I grew up as a child thinking that every family had happy hour. When I went to college as an 18 year old, legal to drink at the time, I thought it was what you did. I was surprised to find that some people actually didn't drink.
Kids don't learn to pace themselves by watching their parents. I don't even know what that means. I certainly didn't drink as an 18 year old thinking that if my parents stopped after 2 drinks I had better too. When drinking and partying are the exceptions to the rule, kids learn that it's not a part of every day life. But the reality is that kids decide their own path based on the morals that you instill in them and the influences of their peers. When my kids are gone they will decide what they do with their free time. My hope is that they make good decisions. Good for you for taking responsible actions for your kids.

What a great post Brandy! I grew up seeing the drinking, parting, and the 'trashy' way of life. I know how painful some of my childhood memories are and wouldn't dream of letting my son experience even the slightest bit of similar behavior. I want my son to grow up in a healthy environment, free of addictions and vices. Yes, I was a teenager and then part of the 21+ crowd that did stuff, got drunk, and messed up. But WAS is the key word there. Of course I will still have a glass of wine here and then. But I promised myself to be not only the best mother I can be, but to really work to create a fun environment at home for my children. Eat dinner together, play games together, do crafts together. I would have gladly traded most activities growing up for a family dinner and monopoly game.

erin's last blog post..Elijah TV: Brought to you by Flip Video & YouTube
As a child raised by a couple of hippies, I totally agree. I remember drugs in the house, parties at all hours, me at age 4 being wherever I wanted as long as I wasn't in the middle of the adults. My brother came along a few years later and not long after, they began to clean themselves up. By the time I left middle school they were excellent parents. But it took a lot of work on their part, and they had two sets of parents who gave them support. In the early days, my grandmother watched us kids all day long just to give us some stability and sane people around us.
Now, raising two kids myself, I wonder how my mom ever did it. I totally admire how she cleaned herself up and got herself together. Was I scarred and changed because of what I saw? Absolutely. I became the adult in the house at a very young age, and never quite learned the same relaxed social skills other kids did. Even today, 37 years later, I'm a lot more serious than I really need to be. But I did learn a few things from my parents–people make mistakes. We do stupid stuff. And its never too late to turn around and make it right. You may not be able to fix it, but choosing to turn around makes a huge difference.
Not everyone is so lucky. My cousin's parents never turned around and he grew up thinking drugs and drinking were okay. His life has never been a healthy one. He's almost thirty and has never held a job more than a few weeks, can't finish college despite being one of the smartest people I've ever met, and generally wastes his life away, always looking for someone else to take care of whatever problem he has. When I see teens doing that, dragging their kids along, I wonder…will their kids grow up like me, or like my cousin?
Great post and i agree with you… or you're a mom, be a mom!
Amy O'Neal's last blog post..ivory & moss- LAST CHANCE
Being a mom I think takes a different kind of fun. You have to act drunk to make your babies laugh but not be drunk 🙂 You have to teach them how to talk to people who are strangers and encourage them to invite these strangers over and after all your effort these people are not even coming to see you 🙂 Instead of a house full of card games and fun board games for a party your house is full of toys and other things that make noice and move and do all sorts of stuff. Being a parent will definately be a 360 degree change in lifestyle 🙂

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Greene, Jimmy (James Sidney Greene, Jr.)
Greene, Jimmy [James Sidney Greene, Jr.], saxophonist, composer, educator; b. Hartford, CT, 24 February 1975. Greene's parents James S. Greene, Sr. (b.1946 Tuscaloosa, AL) and Renee Simmons (b.1949 Middletown, CT) started him on alto saxophone at age six, and encouraged him to practice. James Sr, a musician is his own right, wrote, arranged and produced several R+B singles in the early-mid '70's. Growing up, his siblings were also musically inclined. Sister Nayre (b.1974) played piano, flute, trumpet and sang. Sister Amanda (b.1980) played saxophone and sang. Brother Dorian (b.1980) played trumpet, drums and currently produces and performs hip-hop music.
As a high school student, Greene was selected to perform in several Regional, All-Connecticut, and All-New England jazz ensembles and symphonic bands, and studied with saxophonist Tom Johnston (1990-91). Greene's music teacher at Bloomfield High School arranged for him to meet and play for Jackie McLean at the famed altoist's community arts school, The Artists' Collective. McLean's teaching over the subsequent years (1990-1997) gave the young musician a firm foundation in improvisation, a profound viewpoint of the jazz tradition, as well as the inspiration to seek his own musical identity.
Greene formed his first quintet while in high school (1991), and began composing music soon thereafter. He was awarded a scholarship from the Saxophone Journal to attend the David Liebman Summer Saxophone Workshop (1992), and during his senior year, augmented his studies at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Performing Arts under bassist/educator Dave Santoro (1992-93). Greene graduated from Bloomfield High School (1993) with high honors. He continued his studies at the Hartt School/University of Hartford with Jackie McLean, trombonist Steve Davis, and saxophonists Ken Radnofsky and Kris Jensen (1993-97). During his final year at Hartt, Greene performed often alongside trumpeter Claudio Roditi.
Greene graduated from The Hartt School with a B.Mus. in African American Music Studies, 1997. In September 1997, he moved to New York City; not long after becoming a member of the Horace Silver Quintet. In addition to the legendary pianist's group, Greene has performed regularly with the small groups of Tom Harrell, Steve Turre, Lewis Nash, Avishai Cohen, Ralph Peterson, Kenny Barron, Jeremy Pelt, and TanaReid, as well as the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band, Freddie Hubbard and the New Jazz Composers' Octet, and the big bands of Harry Connick, Jr., Jason Lindner, and Kendrick Oliver. As a leader, Greene made considerable advances after moving to New York. In the final months of 1997, he performed with his quintet for a week at The Jazz Standard. In addition to The Jazz Standard, Greene's band has been heard in New York at Small's, Birdland, and Kavehaz. Greene was also honored in the June 1999 issue of Down Beat magazine.
Greene holds faculty positions at Hartt and the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts. Greene currently resides in Connecticut with his wife, Nelba, an accomplished flutist and educator (b.1975), and performs weekly in the music ministry of his home church, Glory Chapel International Cathedral.

The NFL announced Thursday a new schedule of regional combines that will occur around the time of the league's major combine in
All told, the league plans to host 8 such events for hopeful collegiate players, beginning Jan. 28 in
Three sorts of players will be able to take advantage of the new format, according to the league. They are:
- Players eligible for the 2012 NFL Draft but not attending the National Scouting Combine
- Players with college playing experience who want to gauge their pro potential
- Players with some pro playing experience, but who have been out of the game for a period of time.
The league also noted that, "players that attend an NFL Regional Combine may be invited to attend the NFL Super Regional Combine which will be held at Ford Field in
It wasn't clear how the new combine schedule would effect the "Pro Days" top college programs traditionally host. Such programs do require extensive travel by pro franchises and scouts, sometimes to out-of-the-way locations, but they are a valued part of elite programs who welcome the NFL attention and the image it imparts on their program to underclassmen and recruits.
LSU athletic officials, for instance, did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking their opinion of the arrangement.

A Year of Rev. Al's Sermons takes the reader through a liturgical church year - with drawings created from Sunday Sermons. Rev. Al served as the Interim Pastor at First Presbyterian Church, Baker City, Oregon, for two years from 2009-2011. The author began her journey into sermon scribbles in 2010 and this book was created in tribute to Rev. Al upon his departure. "Go to church" visually with this book!
I am a "cradle Christian" having been raised in the Presbyterian Church with fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers who have served as pastors. I have listened to thousands of sermons in my lifetime. But in the spring of 2010, a sermon struck me in a very visual way. With my art education background, visual drawings have been "erupting" from my heart and hands ever since - inspired by sermons, devotions, Bible reading, even conversations with friends! It is a joy to find a way to share my "divine doodles" to inspire and assure everyone of God's all-consuming love. My husband, an elementary school teacher, and I are the parents of two mid-20's sons. My family has been a source of encouragement to put my "scribbles" to print!

The Quinoa Question

Many quinoa-lovers have hit the existential skids recently, thanks to a story in England's Guardian about the supposedly negative effects of buying imported quinoa. But, The idea that worldwide demand for quinoa is causing undue harm where it's produced is an oversimplification at best.

In doubles action, Trotter and Stewart fell to the Furman duo of Bonnie Baird and Christin Thompson, 8-1. In the final round of doubles play Trotter and Stewart then fell to Rebecca Erikson and Briana Jain of James Madison after a hard fought battle, 9-7.
"The girls played better today," said head coach Steve Brooks. "They played a very good team from Furman and they were up on the team from James Madison but they're young and James Madison was just able to capitalize on their mistakes."
Action continues tomorrow with two rounds of singles. Trotter will square off against Natalie Kretzer of Virginia Tech in Flight B semifinals and Stewart will face either Jessica Nixon of Radford or Amy Sheetz of Mary Washington in the Flight C consolation semifinals.
