Option Activity Alert: CF Industries Holdings and General Electric Company
Traders on Monday set their sights on CF Industries Holdings, Inc. ( CF ) and General Electric Company ( GE ). CF was popular among call players, with bullish option volume rising well beyond typical levels. Conversely, struggling GE was targeted by a crop of very short-term put players placing their pre-expiration bets.
CF Industries Holdings, Inc.
CF attracted the attention of call players on Monday, with volume accelerating to 1.32 times the usual level. Nearly 9,000 calls changed hands on CF during the course of the session, compared to fewer than 3,500 puts.
On the International Securities Exchange (ISE) alone, speculators on Monday bought to open 2,180 calls on CF, along with just 121 puts. The equity's single-day call/put volume ratio of 18.02 underscores a strong preference for bullish bets over their bearish counterparts.
In fact, traders on the ISE have rarely shown a greater appetite for call options on CF. The stock's 10-day ISE call/put volume ratio weighs in at 12.81, as nearly 13 times more calls than puts have been bought to open during the past two weeks. This ratio ranks higher than 97.6% of other such readings taken within the previous year, suggesting that options players have scooped up calls over puts at a faster pace less than 3% of the time.
Likewise, CF's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) arrives at a slim 0.47, with calls more than doubling puts among options slated to expire within three months. This ratio ranks in the 25th annual percentile, as short-term options traders have been more optimistically aligned just one-quarter of the time during the past year.
Most of Monday's call buying was centered on CF's September 90 call, where about 2,000 contracts were added to open interest overnight. This overhead call strike is now home to 6,470 contracts in open interest.
Meanwhile, thanks to today's merger-and-acquisition news for sector peer Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan ( POT ), calls continue to dominate on CF. Roughly 13,000 calls changed hands during the first half of today's session, and it looks like traders are buying new bullish bets at the stock's August 90 strike.
Even prior to today's buyout-related boost, CF was enjoying a bout of technical strength on the charts. The stock has cruised higher since early June along the support of its 10-day and 20-day moving averages, and CF's bullish gap above $88 this morning could translate to an additional layer of technical support going forward.
General Electric Company
Blue-chip conglomerate GE was the center of some put-buying attention on Monday, with traders on the ISE buying to open 2,215 puts on the stock during the course of the session. By comparison, only 1,342 calls were purchased on GE -- netting the shares a single-day ISE put/call volume ratio of 1.65.
Taking a slightly longer-term look, GE's 10-day ISE put/call volume ratio stands at 0.96, in the 89th annual percentile. This elevated percentile rank reveals that traders on this exchange have purchased bearish bets over bullish at a faster pace only 11% of the time during the past year.
In the same skeptical vein, GE's SOIR is currently docked at 1.10, in the 90th annual percentile. In other words, short-term options traders have been more put-heavy only 10% of the time during the prior 52 weeks.
Monday's most active strike was the August 15 put, where 8,116 contracts were exchanged -- 73% at the ask price, suggesting they were most likely purchased. Open interest at this strike rose overnight by 4,077 contracts, confirming that new puts were added here yesterday. With GE trading just shy of $16 at last check, these soon-to-expire puts are out of the money by a slim margin.
This rising tide of negativity coincides with a period of bearish price action for GE. The stock tumbled below support at its 20-week and 32-week moving averages in May, and these trendlines have since switched roles to act as resistance. In fact, the duo recently completed a bearish cross, confirming GE's downward momentum.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the program full-time or part-time?
The program is a 21 month, full-time program.
Is the UAB Genetic Counseling program accredited?
Yes. The Genetic Counseling Program is fully accredited by The Accreditation Council for Genetic Counseling (ACGC). The program received full accreditation in 2013 and will apply for re-accreditation in 2019. Fully accredited programs must complete a rigorous process to demonstrate that the program is capable of meeting the criteria for a genetic counseling training program as established by ACGC. Programs that successfully complete this process are awarded full accreditation. All students that graduate from an accredited program may apply for board certification and licensure as a genetic counselor.
Do I have to have a science background to enter the program?
No. All students must have successfully completed the pre-requisite coursework to enter the program, but many genetic counselors have undergraduate degrees in psychology, social work, or education.
How many students does the UAB program admit each Fall?
Six students each year.
When is the application deadline? When is offer day?
The deadline to receive all applications at UAB is January 15 of each year. Interviews for qualified candidates are typically scheduled in February and March. The offer day varies each year, but is usually late April or early May.
What if I have not completed the pre-requisite courses prior to the application deadline?
If you are currently enrolled in a course or plan to take a course that is a pre-requisite for admission to this program, you will need to make that clear on your application. You do not have to have completed the course prior to the application deadline, but you should ensure that we know you are enrolled or are planning to enroll in the pre-requisite course. A good place to indicate this is typically in your personal statement or your resume that is included in your application. You would need to successfully complete the course prior to enrollment in the Fall in order to be officially admitted. Some of these scenarios are on a case-by-case basis, and you are welcome to contact our program with specific questions.
Is there a supplemental application?
No, but the official application submitted through Apply Yourself with UAB's graduate school should include a resume or CV, a personal statement, and three letters of recommendation.
How can I arrange to shadow a genetic counselor or meet with a genetic counselor to get more information?
Exposure to genetic counseling (i.e., shadowing a counselor in clinic) and/or meeting with a genetic counselor to discuss the career is important prior to applying to the program. You can visit the NSGC "Find a Counselor" link (www.nsgc.org) to find a counselor in your area. The Department of Genetics at UAB welcomes students with a serious interest in the field. To request a time to shadow in a UAB clinic, please contact our training program.
I do not live near a Genetic Counselor and have not been able to interview one via telephone. Is there another way for me to get a sense for what genetic counselors do?
If you are unable to find a genetic counselor through NSGC's website, click here to view a recorded genetic counseling session. Viewing these videos is a great way to get a glimpse into a Genetic Counseling session. Another option would be to enroll in the online course "Genetic Counseling: Career for the Future," which is designed for prospective students to learn more about the field of genetic counseling. More information can be found here: http://geneticcounseling.med.sc.edu/onlinecourse.asp.
What makes the UAB Genetic Counseling program unique?
The UAB Genetic Counseling program has incorporated a unique curriculum designed to prepare students to be competitive and successful genetic counselors. In addition to core classes designed to teach genetic counseling skills and medical genetics, our curriculum includes unique opportunities to learn phlebotomy skills, Spanish for medical professionals, research and laboratory genetic counseling skills, clinical simulations, and much more. Our students all complete a plan II project where they are able to design and implement a project of interest and contribute to the field. Our setting is also designed with access to many facilities at UAB, including options for on-site and off-site rotation sites and laboratory experiences. Check out our student life page to see what other unique experiences genetic counseling students at UAB have. These include professional conference presentations, lay lectures in the community schools, involvement with local support groups, and enjoying the dining and recreation available in Birmingham, AL.
What is the career outlook for genetic counselors?
The genetic counseling profession is rapidly expanding and diversifying. Heightened public awareness, coupled with scientific advances in adult disorders and reproductive technologies, have increased the demand for genetic counselors in clinical, teaching, administrative, commercial, private practice, and consulting environments. This trend is expected to continue well into the 21st century ...and beyond. Click on any of the following 5 links to read about genetic counseling's prognosis as a career.

What is the tuition for the UAB Genetic Counseling training program?
Click here for the current Tuition and Fees for this graduate program.
Does UAB participate in the Southeastern Academic Common Market (and what does this mean)?
Yes, UAB does participate in the Academic Common Market. If you are a student in another state in the Southeast and your state participates in this program, you may be eligible to attend our program for in-state tuition. Click on the link or talk to the program director for more information.
Are their scholarship, assistantship, or work opportunities for enrolled students?
Yes, the UAB Genetic Counseling program does offer graduate assistantships to select students to help offset tuition or provide in-state tuition. Select scholarships are also available through the School of Health Professions based on student need, for minorities, and for some otherwise qualified students. Additional information on non-UAB scholarship opportunities can be found here. Some students have had luck with the Perkins student loan forgiveness programs as well. Availability of these change yearly, and should be discussed with the program director at interviews or when gathering information about our program. UAB's Financial Aid Office may also be able to answer additional questions regarding costs.
What is the format of the curriculum?
Most of the didactic portion of the curriculum is offered in the classroom setting during the first year of training. Second year students have a few seminars in addition to clinical rotations during their second year of training. Courses are supported by online services (i.e. Canvas or Blackboard). One to two courses during the program are offered completely online.
Do you have to travel for clinical rotations (i.e., is a car/vehicle required of students)?
No. All clinical rotations can be done on site at the UAB campus in Birmingham. Off-site locations are possible for student rotations. The UAB Genetic Counseling program has the ability to partner with non-UAB hospitals for student training. Affiliation agreements have been established between our program and other hospitals in Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Indiana, Minnesota, Georgia, Ohio, Oregon, and Missouri. Others are possible, and we are open to working with students and the Accreditation Council for Genetic Counseling to identify additional sites for student training. Summer is the easiest time for student to travel and do an off-site rotation, but off-site rotations are available during the second school year as well.
How competitive is the application process for genetic counseling?
The application process for genetic counseling is competitive due to our small class size. Most programs for genetic counseling have a small class size. There are approximately 30 training programs in the United States that offer a Master Degree in Genetic Counseling. We recommend that you contact our program with specific questions about your application. The Association of Genetic Counseling Program Directors has published this helpful brochure that may help you plan for graduate school in genetic counseling. Click here to see this brochure on preparing for graduate school in genetic counseling, which contains helpful volunteer experiences to have and average GPAs/GRE scores of admitted students.
What types of work do graduates of the UAB genetic counseling program do?
Click here to access our Alumni Bios.
Where do UAB Genetic Counseling students come from?
The UAB Genetic Counseling Program welcomes students from around the country and international students. The maps highlight the diverse geographic background of our current and past students and is updated annually.
How do I become a boarded/certified genetic counselor after graduation?
Genetic Counselors have a Masters Degree in Genetic Counseling from an accredited Genetic Counseling Training Program. Coursework during training typically includes clinical genetics, population genetics, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics coupled with psychosocial theory, ethics, and counseling techniques. Clinical training in ACGC-approved medical genetics clinics is an integral part of the degree requirements during training. Graduates are then board certified via examination by the American Board of Genetic Counseling . This is a computer exam offered twice a year for eligible graduates. Depending on where graduates practice, some states also require licensure with state-dependent requirements after certification. After certification, all counselors are required to maintain Continued Education credits to renew their certification every 5 years.
How can I learn more about genetic counseling?
The genetic counseling profession is rapidly expanding and diversifying. Visit the National Society of Genetic Counselors website or click Counseling Degrees here for more career information. You may also contact us to talk with our program director or with a current student. You may also wish to shadow a genetic counselor, which is discussed above in a previous question, as is information on the future of this career.
Can I make an appointment to talk to or meet with the program director or advisor?
Yes, we welcome student contact.

Today is a big day for Downtown Hoedown Artist Tate Stevens as he releases his self-titled debut album. This week is full of activities for Stevens who will be performing on ABC"s Good Morning America on Friday. Tate talks about who he gained his country influence from growing up in Missouri. Stevens says, "My father's a musician, country musician and that's where I got the love for country. I'm a huge what we would call classic country guy or traditional country. The Lefty Frizzells and the Gene Watsons and the John Conlees and those guys absolutely love it…love, love, love it. I got that from my father who played that kind of stuff and growing up, you know, that's what was on the radio."
Tate Stevens took the stage on Sunday night in front of a sold-out crowd of 3,000 fans in hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. During the show, Stevens brought his wife, Ashlie, and his two children to the stage to recognize how much his life has changed since they signed him up to audition for FOX's The X Factor a little more than one year ago. Tate thanked them before presenting Ashlie with flowers. Stevens' set included his current single, "Power Of A Love Song," "Can't Get Nothin' Done," as well as "I Got This." Tate also played songs from Bon Jovi, Craig Morgan, Randy Houser as well as Garth Brooks' "Callin' Baton Rouge." Stevens then finished his 75-minute set with an encore that included Joe Diffie's, "Ships That Don't Come In" and Journey's "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)."
Tate Stevens takes the stage on Friday, May 31st for the 31st Annual Downtown Hoedown at Comerica Park! Tate joins Uncle Kracker, Maggie Rose, Parmalee, Drake White, Katie Arminger and Ty Stone!

I have news on the weather front-have now heard and read from 3 separate sources that come the weekend perhaps, just maybe, who knows -Summer is coming -according to my local forecast a week Tuesday-9 days time- it will be 26C-no guarantees and no refunds- usual t&c's apply
Break out the shorts,t-shirts, and bikinis.
It takes around 2/4 weeks to be to be totally effective-you may have to do it twice for the really tough weeds
This a different subject to the rotating/tumbler compost bin but however-you can recycle the compost providing you keep adding nutrient the only downside is that you may get a build of pest and disease-so do not do it indefinitely- it will be false economy-you can then used spent compost just as a soil enricher in the garden
Have turned out the first container of potatoes this morning-4 tubers cost 50p-this is the result-not a bad return?
This morning I turned out a potato container-this is the result from 4 tubers-the variety was homeguard and they will be joined with lamb shank later-not all of them obviously !!
Move away from the plant-they are the fruits of the plant and must not be eaten- quite toxic-a similar question was asked last week-
Taken this morning
This is the add-on-it does work-
Here a just a few from this morning around 6.15
You are not alone-but there is a solution

Ok, it took some time, but I've tested every option and here's the result:
PD works nearly perfectly on phones with Opera Mini java app. Things that don't work: Smilies, font changes, effects and the "preview post" option. There are also slight changes in the site, like the login box (it's on the bottom of the page). There is also a disadvantage of this new forum: MobileLeap (site converter for mobiles without java) does not work.

The information below should be okay for PCs up to and including Windows 7 era. The author of this website has no knowledge of Windows 8 computers.
lot of people are still uncertain about how to partition their hard
I have made two similar web pages, they both end up with exactly the same installation.
The difference between this web page and my other one is that in this installation the partitioning work will be performed in advance of the installation with the Gnome Partition Editor (GParted), in the Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat Live CD.
The other web page shows how to use the Ubuntu installer's built-in partitioning program, which is also based on Gnu Parted, but with a different graphical interface. Ubuntu / Windows - Graphical Installation B
|Most experts recommend using Windows own Disk Manager for shrinking the
Windows partition from within Windows 7 or Windows Vista. This is not
only possible, it is quite quick and easy too.
If you think you would prefer to use Windows own disk manager to resize your Vista or Windows 7 partition smaller to make room for Ubuntu before going any further with your installation you are welcome to.
The How-To Geek has the how-to for that, 'Resize a Partition for Free in Windows Vista'.
There are some limitations and caveats involved with using Windows own Disk Manager to shrink Windows.
For one it requires defragmenting the drive first, and defragging usually takes a lot of extra time.
Secondly and probably worse, the Windows MFT and page files show up as 'immovable files' which the Windows Disk Manager can't deal with. The most you can possibly shrink Windows is half way, (where you bump into the MFT), and that's only if you're lucky enough not to run into stray fragments of page file first.
Thirdly there's also a risk is your hard disk might fail to be recognized by the Ubuntu installer and not appear in the list of disks it's possible to install Ubuntu in.
There's no evidence to suggest that Windows own partitioning software is really any more reliable than any other partition editor but if you damage your Windows system with its own software it's no concern for me or other proponents of open source.
No matter what software you choose for shrinking Windows, I recommend running a thorough file system check such as CHKDSK /R beforehand, repeating until no more errors are found.
You should have a backup copy of all your files stored on some other media, operating system installation DVDs/CDs and installed software disks before using any disk partitioning program.
This website is about how to use open source software so the installations in this site demonstrate the use of open source programs. Both GParted and the Ubuntu Installer's partitioner based on GParted can resize Windows regardless of the state of fragmentation or so called 'immovable' files.

|Vista or Windows 7 WARNING: IF YOU ARE USING AN OLDER VERSION OF GPARTED
Because of deficiencies in Windows BCD loader, the Windows Vista and Windows 7 may fail to boot at first if the file system is moved. The boot loader lacks any kind of file system support, unlike our GNU/GRUB Boot Loader, so it relies on block addressing stored in the boot sector.
Please avoid moving the start point of any Windows Vista or Windows 7 partition with any partition editing program.
Ubuntu Lucid Lynx uses GParted version 0.5.1
The inbuilt partitioner in the Ubuntu installer is okay, (partitioning with that is illustrated in other pages of this website), and will not move the start point, but only resize Windows Vista or Windows 7 partitions from the end.
Or at least make sure you remove the checkmark from the 'round to cylinders' checkbox before touching any Windows 7 or Vista partitions.
Moving the start point of a Vista/Win 7 partition will make the operating system unbootable and it may require a little additional work to be able to boot Vista/Win 7 again.
You may only resize your Windows Vista or Windows 7 partition from the right-hand end.
Try not to 'move' the entire partition at all.
When using older versions of GParted, please uncheck the "round to cylinder" box to avoid moving the start point by accident.
If you do really need to move the start of a Windows Vista or Windows 7 partition for some reason, you can fix the problem of not being able to boot anymore merely by booting from the Vista CD, choose "Repair Computer" and the CD will reconfigure the Vista Boot loader for you.
If it doesn't work, go to the command prompt and run BOOTREC /FIXBOOT.
That should fix it.

UK: SIM-free Nokia Lumia 800 to be available on November 16 after all, but not everywhere
Here's some good news for you Windows Phone lovers in the UK. It turns out that contrary to what we found out yesterday, the Nokia Lumia 800 will in fact become available in the UK on November 16, in SIM-free form as well as with contract. Not without a catch though.
The Inquirer got in touch with Nokia's Mark Squires, communications director, who set the record straight on the matter. So it's like this. The Lumia 800 will go on sale with contract on November 16 just as anticipated. Also on that day it will become available SIM-free, but only at Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U. These two independent retailers, alongside Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, and Three will be the launch partners for the Lumia 800 in the UK. That means that they will be the only outlets (officially) selling the device this year.
All the other retailers, including Amazon and Clove (which was the source for yesterday's information on the Lumia 800's delay) will get their first stock of Lumia 800s in the first quarter of 2012. Nokia says that its launch partners have been trained extensively in selling the product, and the company is confident that this strategy won't undermine its projected sales levels.
That said, this variation upon the classic exclusivity deal isn't something we've seen often before. In effect, the Lumia 800 will be exclusive to the aforementioned four operators and two retailers this year. Let's see if this thinking pans out for Nokia.

Remember when you used to think that your $40 jeans were just fine and that you'd never dream of spending $200 on jeans? And then you tried on a pair of jeans that made your ass look like you'd undergone thousands of dollars of lifting and tucking and decided they were worth the money? Right. Well, spending $200 on a Laundry Bag ($189) seems ridiculous to us, but this one is made of Levi's selvedge denim, so maybe it'll also have magical properties like those fancy pants.
Anyone dumb enough to pay this much for a laundry bag should think about soaking their head instead of their laundry.
And why, when tabbing down this form, does the active location go to the question mark icon (at all) and not the field where you type the letters in?

After battling for over a month with a mysterious ailment that was leaving Ducati's star rider Casey Stoner, nauseaus and exhausted, giving way to a myriad of speculation from the press, the Australian has been diagnosed with slight gastritis and mild anaemia.
No mention is made of the arm pump problems and scaphoid pain that Stoner was sufffering from after the Laguna Seca race.
"I have been in USA until Saturday to do all the tests. First of all I'd like to thank all the Doctors involved in this, Dr. Ting and Dr. Tuan in the Fremont Surgery Center, Dr. Macchiagodena, Dr. Catani, Dr. Ceccarelli and of course my physiotherapist Freddy. Hopefully step by step I will feel better with their indications.
"I still don't feel like I am 100% but the biggest problem now is that my ribs are very painful after the crash in qualifying in the U.S. It will be probably another hard weekend in Germany, but as always, we will do our best to stay as much as possible close to the lead of the Championship."
Ducati's MotoGP Project Director Livio Suppo.
"This is a delicate time for Casey but we know he is made of stern stuff. He will continue to fight like a lion, as he has done in the past few races, even though the crash at Laguna left its mark on him and that certainly won't help."

Consider the strip in the complex plane defined by $\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\Im(z)\in (0,\pi)\}$. Applying $\operatorname{exp}$ to this strip maps it onto the half plane $\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\Im(z)>0\}$?
What is a formal explanation why, other than just plotting a few points? Does the width of the strip matter, or does $\operatorname{exp}$ map similar strips, like $\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\Im(z)\in (0,1)\}$ to half planes also?

- Price: $300
- Official Site: Klipsch.com
- Specs: Over-the-ear design; dual-drivers; multiple ear tips; cloth cable with wire
- Company: Klipsch Audio Technologies
Klipsch is known more for its high-end speakers than its headphones; however, the Custom 3 set shows that, even in a market segment owned by companies like Shure and Sennheiser, there's still room for another sinfully high-end player. The Custom 3 headphones are tough and bass-friendly, with more than a hint of style. These well-appointed, noise-canceling headphones feature a highly adaptable fit thanks to the moldable memory wire that fits over the ear and the wide array of included gel tips.
This first thing you notice about the Custom 3 headphones is that they look simply fabulous. The dark gray ear gels mesh perfectly with the satiny black earbuds, and the copper accents add a touch of luxe style. It might sound shallow, but if you're about to drop $300 on headphones, you want them to be pretty. The myriad ear gels and the adjustable ear wires make it a snap to mold these headphones to even the smallest or weirdest-shaped ear. Klipsch also claims that the oval shape of the earbud is a better fit for an ear canal than other companies' round ones, but whether that's true remains to be seen by the buying public's experience. The dual-driver, bass-heavy sound makes these the perfect headphones for watching an action movie on your laptop or listening to phat hip-hop tunes -- though not necessarily for true audiophile-level fidelity.
These headphones are robust and stylish, and the ballsy bass response makes them fabulous for a morning run or any other situation where adrenalin-pumping tunes are what you want. That same liveliness makes them lousy as monitor headphones. While this may not be an issue for most of us, the company actually calls them "studio reference headphones." Also, the tough, no-tangle wires will likely hold up against the damaging MP3-player wrap that so many of us do when tossing our players into a pocket. The included carrying case is really only handy for those who sling a roomy backpack over their shoulder, but the kit also includes 1/4-inch and airplane adapters and (get this) an ear-tip cleaning tool. All in all, these headphones will serve you well long after the pain of a three-C-note purchase has faded away.

Being a teenager in junior high and a sports fan go hand in hand, and for a certain young man from Buda, Texas, it has provided an opportunity that is certain to pay off in ways only a true sports fan from Houston to Dallas and all places in between could imagine.
Hayden Oswalt, a seventh grader at Dalmstrom Middle School in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District outside of Austin, has decided to publish his unique view of the X Games to the World Wide Web.
When is was announced the X Games would be coming to Austin in 2014, Oswalt decided he would take his love of sports and his interest in writing and photography to develop a website to provide coverage of the games thought a seventh grader's eyes.
His website, Austin Xcite, will include news, photographs and interviews provided by this entrepreneurial teenager.
As in any new endeavor, there will be bumps along the way, and when those inevitable bumps happen, Oswalt will not have to go far to get the technical assistance he needs.
Oswalt's father is Ronald Oswalt; the Chief Executive Officer of Sports Marketing Experts, which specializes in the creation, development and execution of innovative and high impact marketing programs.
The younger Oswalt realized that anything he accomplishes with his web site will benefit him in the future.
"This will help me down the road, but also learn some cool things while being involved during the X Games with my friends."
He will not only relay on his father's expertise for help.
Just as in any upstart project, Hayden will have consultants to help in the development of his website.
Michael De Leon, the Chief Technology Officer of Sports Marketing Experts and SME Design, is one of those consultants.
"Immediately upon consulting with Hayden for his X Games-based website, we could see that interaction and multimedia were very important," stated De Leon.
The elder Oswalt also emphasized that this as a chance for his son to develop skills that will extend well beyond his school years.
"Hayden was searching for a way to obtain extra credit for his web design class and this seemed like a chance for my son to get real world experience while gaining life-long skills in so many areas from marketing to journalism."
Oswalt's website will cover all aspects with the upcoming X Games in Austin from a teenagers view.

"We had an excellent practice yesterday. I think the confidence continues to come back. The focus in the practice situation is as good as I have seen in a while. I think that's a result of the successful trip to Washington and the wins over USC and UCLA. USC and UCLA are two very good teams who are playing well. The key thing with us is when we needed to be good for us we were."
"I think we are going to be a consistently good defensive team. It is obvious that our defensive is well ahead of our offense. Now we need to become more fluid on the offensive end. My personal feeling is that if you are going to establish one before the other it would be defense. Defense creates a lot of offensive opportunities.
On Arizona State:
"They have had their share of problems without (forward Chad) Prewitt in the lineup consistently. (Guard Awvee) Storey has been playing well. (Guard-forward) Donnell Knight and (forward) Tommy Smith have to be considered two of the top sophomores in the conference.
"(Head Coach) Rob Evans has them playing very hard. The team is very aggressive on the boards and the problem for them is they just haven't been able to hit their shots. As a coach it is very frustrating to go through this because you can create shots for the players but they are going to have to convert their opportunities. There certainly has not been a lack of effort on their part that I have seen on film."
On Arizona State's slow start:
"It shouldn't be a problem to succeed there but it is tough because the fan support isn't as strong as it should be. Kids want to play in front of full houses."
On the rivalry:
"Over the years, they have given us all we wanted up in Tempe. Last year it was the complete opposite. Rivalries occur when players know one another. A rivalry has developed with UCLA, USC and Stanford because guys have played more against guys from those teams. It's a huge game for (junior forward) Richard Jefferson because he knows a couple of players on Arizona State's squad."
On Arizona State's rebounding:
"They send four guys to the glass which means if we can clear it we're going to have fast break opportunities. By sending four guys to the glass they are going to get some as well. They work the offensive boards really hard."
On Arizona senior center Loren Woods:
"His defense is getting much better. It is very seldom now where you see somebody else drive and he doesn't rotate to help out. The next thing I think you will see is him becoming a factor on the offensive boards as well. Offensively, he is so effective at the high post. He's not getting as many shot opportunities compared to if he was in the low post but he shoots the ball very well from outside."

"Your Perfect Life" is by debut authors Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke. It's about best friends Casey and Rachel, whose lives have taken different directions, and whose friendship may have wandered a bit, also.
Casey has become the host of a gossip television show while Rachel dropped out of college when she got pregnant. Married to her high school sweetheart, she's the mother of three girls. Each does not understand the lifestyle and choices the other has made.
Casey dresses in designer clothes, interviews the rich and famous and is, herself, rich and famous. But Casey lives in an apartment that looks like a hotel, and she sleeps alone most nights on her fabulous silk sheets. Casey has one-night flings, worries that someone younger will take over her job, and is obsessed with staying on top. She envies her homebody friend, who has family and all the love that Casey might be missing.
Rachel's life is very different. Rachel's two older daughters are teenagers and she feels as if they are always at odds. Her "accidental" baby, Charlotte, disrupted her plans to go to work. She is frustrated by her life and perhaps a bit envious of her glamorous friend, Casey.
Their twenty-year high school reunion is where Casey and Rachel are each awarded prizes. Casey wins "Most Successful Graduate" and Rachel wins "Least Changed."
Each friend has brought her insecurity to the reunion. Casey feels like an outsider. She is successful and beautiful, but she is alone. Rachel feels like a failure. She didn't finish college, she's never worked in any profession, and her days are filled taking care of children. And when Rachel gets her award, it intensifies her feeling of inadequacy -- the fact that she thinks her lack of success is why she is the "least changed," not that she really just looks much like she did in high school.
Casey and Rachel argue and then the magic happens -- they wake up the next morning having switched bodies.
Rachel finally gets the chance to fulfill her college ambition to be on television. Casey gets to find out what's it's like to have a family. And the story is what they learn not only about themselves, but about each other. And it's fascinating to see what each brings to the life of the other -- and what the switch makes each of them realize about her own life.
The book raises some interesting questions about friendship, life, and what defines success.
To appreciate your own life, do you need to step outside of it -- even for a short time? Can someone reinvent herself after twenty years? What is important -- family, success, friends, or all three?
Liz and Lisa get it right. It's obvious that there's a bit of each of them in the main characters of this story. Of course, the fact that Liz and Lisa have been friends for twenty-five years (that's five years longer than the characters in the book) doesn't hurt. They get what it takes to keep a friendship going.
It's a story that everyone with a family, everyone with a career, everyone with a heart will love. "Your Perfect Life" is touching, humorous, heart-warming, and just lovely. Enjoy.

Apple's Flagship iPhone 5S Outsells Cheaper Sibling Two to One
Vincent Trivett
A telling indicator of what Apple means in the smartphone market.
(NASDAQ:AAPL) stands in the smartphone market is clear: The iPhone is the one to beat. It's simultaneously a leader in specs and a vanity status symbol. The high end is its territory.
So when shoppers were given the choice between the latest iPhone and the ever so slightly cheaper iPhone 5C, they decided to go big or go home. Data from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) shows that the newest flagship iPhone 5S is outselling the cheaper one by more than two to one.
According to CIRP (via
All Things D
), the 5S accounted for 64% of total handset sales for Apple in the last days of September. The 5C only took 27% of sales, and the now two-year-old 4S making up the rest.
In some ways, this is good news for Apple. The 5C is cheaper, and presumably comes at a lower margin. Analysts feared that if a lower-margin product ate up some of Apple's own market share, its profit margins would eventually suffer. IHS
that the cost of building and shipping the iPhone 5S is only 30% of the sticker price. That's the gold mine that makes Apple shareholders rich. Then again, there was plenty of reason to accept the lower margins because the higher-end already bought them. Maps with pinpoints indicating which cell phones people
use corresponds very well to a map showing income inequality
In the map above, made by data visualization expert
Eric Fischer
, the red dots represent geolocated tweets from iPhone users; the green dots are from
(NASDAQ:GOOG) Androids. Manhattan and the well-heeled parts of Brooklyn and the New Jersey waterfront make up iPhone country. Central Brooklyn, Jersey City, and Newark have a much higher concentration of Android phones. Anecdotally, it seems like all of the beautiful, successful people in the world (
even those
paid by
(NASDAQ:MSFT) to hawk Windows Phone), are iPhone users already. Of course Apple realizes the need to grab some of the middle shelf.
So if a middle-class buyer decides to get an Apple product, he or she knows that the product is a status symbol. Why get a brightly colored one that advertises that you didn't go all the way?
Of course, this is still early days, a time when die-hard Apple zealots and early adopters
buy stupid amounts of electronics.
When the holiday season comes and people give them as gifts, the cheaper iPhone might sell a little faster. For the geeks, however, you can't go halfway on a status symbol.

There are some masterpieces of literature that should never be condensed into CliffsNotes or hour long plays - lucky for us Kevin Branagh agrees and has set Shakespeare straight. In his 1996 production, Branagh filmed Hamlet Blu-ray in full star-studded glory. As director and actor, Branagh risks it all, filming on 65mm film with not a line skipped or misspoken. If you've never experienced this glorious tale of murder and revenge it's time for you to indulge - or at least catch up on what you missed in Lit Class.

"The Vampire Diaries" season 5 continued Thursday, Jan. 23, with episode 11, "500 Years of Solitude," the series' 100th episode, and the big question going in concerned Katherine's fate.
As this "TVD" episode began, we alternated between looking at Katherine giving birth in 1490 and not being allowed to see or even hold her daughter and Katherine in the hospital, dying. Nadia couldn't believe her mother was going to die from a heart attack, but she was, and without vampire blood to save her, all they could do was bring her home to be more comfortable for her last day.
Elena and Damon were both down after their breakup, with Damon drowning his sorrows at the bar and Elena getting treated to a "breakup breakfast" from her roommates, but their mornings were interrupted when Stefan called to tell them about Katherine, and that meant everyone gathered at the Salvatores' to drink to and "reminisce" about Katherine – and all the horrible things she'd done to them over the years. (Although, Caroline did note that she was "weirdly better off" since Katherine killed her, so there was that.) Meanwhile, upstairs dying, Katherine was more worried about her looks than the few hours she had. "If a girl's got to go, might as well be glamorous," she said, telling Stefan to kill her if she began sagging anywhere. But downstairs, as Matt looked for another bottle of alcohol, Katherine's daughter knocked him out.
Stefan joined the others and told them they were being insensitive, joining them in a drink, but drinking to the girl who was a survivor after her family shunned her. Damon commented about their night together, and it turned out Caroline forgot to tell her roommates about that. And about Nadia. But they had bigger problems: Nadia buried Matt in the safe somewhere on the property, and she took his ring.
Nadia took Stefan and Elena to a boarded up house and explained her plan to have a Traveler teach Katherine how to do the spell so she could possess someone: Nadia. Caroline, Bonnie, and Jeremy set out to look for Matt, with Caroline all about the "scandalous sex" they were having (and wondering why she wasn't having any), and the couple quickly split off from her, which left Caroline to run into Klaus by herself.
As the flashbacks continued, Damon entered Katherine's head and watched her find her family slaughtered, and Liz came in as he stood over her, pillow in hand. He explained that she ruined him, but Liz pointed out that this just showed how much control she still had over him. She had sedative for Katherine, but she didn't want to be weak and give Damon the opportunity to get back in her head. However, when Katherine commented about the Damon/Elena breakup, he gave her a sedative himself, leading to a flashback to the first time Katherine saw Stefan, on the side of the road, entering Mystic Falls. Katherine explained that while she wanted to think the prophecy about doppelgangers was absurd, she could only describe the moment she saw Stefan as seeming like fate.
Nadia led Stefan and Elena into the house and explained she had found a Traveler whose services could be bought for the right price: the doppelgangers. She left them trapped there, their rings not working, to be surrounded by chanting Travelers. But being trapped in a corner gave them the chance to talk, and she admitted that she didn't have the right to judge him and Katherine's night together after what he'd been through. Then one of the guys cut their wrists and collected their blood in buckets, and while they stood there dripping blood, they had the chance to talk about their respective relationships with Katherine and Damon, and Stefan advised his ex to not give up on his brother. Once the Travelers had enough blood, Stefan and Elena were free to go.
While they were stuck, Caroline was trying to find Matt, only for Klaus to decide that talking was a better plan. But don't worry, he had Rebekah save Matt from the safe ("I'm gone not three months, and look at the trouble you're in," the blonde Original commented when he saw her) while he wondered if Caroline would give him the same choice as Tyler if he gave up his plan to gloat over Katherine's dying body. Damon continued to mess with Katherine's head, first making her see Jenna stab her in the stomach and then John cut off her fingers, but the cruelest was making her see Elijah there to say goodbye. (Unfortunately he didn't join his siblings in their day trip to Mystic Falls.) But his taunts that no one cared were halted when Nadia snapped his neck, and she had a Traveler, Mia, with her.
Katherine refused to do the spell though and instead asked for a moment alone with her daughter. She explained that letting her father take her away from her was the biggest regret of her life, and she wished she had fought harder to keep her, which was why she spent the next 500 years making sure she didn't make the same mistake. She'd lived a long, full life, she got to know her daughter, and she didn't want her to waste another minute on her. She wanted her to live, and so for once, she wasn't being selfish. Nadia left, refusing to watch her mother die.
Back in the woods, Klaus promised to leave without gloating in exchange for one thing: Caroline's confession about him. He'd walk away and never return, and, well, confess she did. "I hate myself for the truth," she admitted before kissing him, and then the clothes came off and Caroline had some scandalous sex of her own.
With the sedatives in her system, Katherine was drifting in and out, and when Stefan came to say goodbye, he found her back in her head remembering the day her family died. "I don't deserve to be loved," she told him, and instead of the gruesome scene she blamed herself for, he gave her peace and her baby in a crib. She wasn't dead yet, but she wasn't going to wake up again, Stefan explained as Elena stepped into the room. Stefan left the doppelgangers alone and joined his brother outside, also pushing him to fix his relationship with Elena, even if it meant the universe freaked out because the doppelgangers weren't together.
When Caroline returned to the house, pulling leaves out of her hair, she covered her disappearance by claiming she had gotten lost in the woods. Tyler then showed up as Rebekah's parting gift for Matt. Everyone sat around waiting for Katherine to die, prompting Matt to ask Bonnie about being an anchor and who she saw, which led to some familiar faces popping up, including Vicki and Alaric, and one of the best moments of the episode was Damon knowing he was talking about him and raising his drink in a toast to him. But when Bonnie saw Katherine, Katherine said it was too soon and suddenly woke up again in bed.
Elena had heard her heart stop, but apparently Katherine had some unfinished business. Elena had been prepared to give her unconscious body a speech, that yes, included all the hate she'd expect, but it also had one more thing: "I forgive you." Katherine was surprised, but Elena pulled the "we're not so different" card: "I forgive you. You weren't born evil. Your life made you that way. You lost everyone that you cared about way too young, and you didn't have a family that looked after you. Sound familiar?" Katherine asked for one last syringe, figuring Elena should be the one to do it, and as Elena was a bit distracted doing just that and by Katherine's "Thank you for your forgiveness," Katherine surged up, grabbed Elena's head and performed the Traveler spell. Elena collapsed after her eyes turned black, and Katherine's eyes closed.
When Elena's eyes opened and she answered her ringing phone, Mia completed the spell and Nadia checked to make sure it worked. "Of course it worked," Katherine said, in Elena's body. "I'm Katherine Pierce. I survive. I'll see you soon." She stood in front of the mirror, looked over Elena's body, and said, "Hi, I'm Elena Gilbert." Could it have ended any other way? No.

Note that if certain circumstances apply and with appropriate documentation, candidates are eligible to waive one year of professional experience:
* One year waiver of the professional experience requirement based on a candidate's education
Candidates can substitute a maximum of one year of direct full-time security professional work experience described above if they have a four-year college degree OR Advanced Degree in information security from a U.S. National Center of Academic Excellence in information Security (CAEIAE) or regional equivalent.
* One-year waiver of the professional experience requirement for holding an additional credential on the (ISC)² approved list
Valid experience includes information systems security-related work performed as a practitioner, auditor, consultant, investigator or instructor, that requires Information Security knowledge and involves the direct application of that knowledge.

Purdue's Award Winning Supplier Diversity Program
In 2005 Purdue University took steps to enhance their supplier diversity activities and recruited a well known small diverse business advocate to lead their efforts to increase the contracts awarded to Indiana women and minority businesses. Since then Purdue University has become recognized as one of the premier supplier diversity programs in higher education in America.
The focus of the program has been outreach. The small staff of 3 people work tirelessly to introduce the diverse business community to decision makers at each of the 3 campuses; Purdue Calumet, Purdue North Central at Westfield, Purdue University-Indiana University at Fort Wayne and the main campus at West Lafayette. The cornerstone of the outreach efforts of the Purdue Supplier Diversity staff is the Relationship to Partnership Sessions that take place each November. R2P as it is known is structured to introduce the attending diverse businesses to decision makers from the Supplier Diversity Coalition of Greater Lafayette. The Coalition members are the larger employers of Tippecanoe County, each committed to expanding opportunities to women and minority firms.
Additionally Purdue University participated in the Disparity Study that was commissioned by the State of Indiana. Purdue's response to the findings in the study has produced a new stronger initiative entitled ACCESS, (Advocating Consistent Contracting to Engage Small Business Success). This program is designed to give even more muscle to an already dynamic commitment to the success of Indiana women and minority businesses.
Our office has received numerous awards over the last 7 years. Among them are: 2005-Award from Minority Health coalition of Tippecanoe County; 2006-Indiana State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Bronze Sponsorship Award; 2006-2011-Indiana Business Opportunity Fair (IBOF) Bronze Sponsorship Award; 2007-NAWBO Indy Choice Award; 2007-Champions of Diversity Award from Indiana Minority Business; 2008-SBA Award to Larry Pherson and Bill Ensign for founding the Supplier Diversity Development Coalition of Greater Lafayette; 2008-Jesse Moore honored at the Elected & Appointed Officials Reception at the Black Expo; 2010-2011-Workplace Diversity Best Practices Award from Greater Lafayette Commerce; 2011-Jesse Moore received Champions of Diversity Award from DiveristyBusiness.com in Washington, DC.

Derek Jeter put an expiration date on the end of an era on Feb. 12, as he announced 2014 will be his final season. With Jeter leaving, the New York Yankees will now spend all of 2014 saying goodbye to a legend who's spent his entire career in New York, and who symbolized their last dynasty. It's pretty much what the Yankees did in 2013 during Mariano Rivera's final year, but they hope Jeter's goodbye will go even better.
Rivera's final season was great for him, as he recovered from a severe injury in 2012 to become an All-Star again. However, the year wasn't as great for the Yankees, who missed the postseason in part because Jeter was hurt most of the way.
The Yankees would like to get back to the playoffs in 2014, despite contending with the defending world champion Boston Red Sox in their own division. At the least, Jeter's retirement gives them extra incentive, in the hopes that he will get one last chance to shine in October -- the chance Rivera never got.
Like Rivera, Jeter cemented his legend in October -- and even in November during the 2001 World Series. The Yankees captain led them to four World Series titles in his first five years in pinstripes, with the first coming in his rookie season in 1996. Even when Alex Rodriguez shared the spotlight with him, the New York faithful never wavered in their loyalty to Jeter.
They didn't waver when he broke his ankle in the 2012 ALCS, or when he played only 17 games in 2013. With that in mind, it would be only fair if Jeter played more than a handful of games in his last year, like Rivera did in his farewell tour.
Since every opposing team seemed to honor Rivera at the end, it will likely be small time compared to how all of baseball -- and New York -- stands to pay tribute to Jeter throughout 2014. But while he began his career with a championship, are the Yankees still equipped to give him a storybook finish too?
New York introduced new $155 million pitcher Masahiro Tanaka on Feb. 11, as it hopes he can help put it back over the top. However, the Yankees likely can't return to October without one more burst from Jeter, although they will have to learn how after that.

Officials in Brookings and Gold Beach are reporting a healthy flow of tourists this summer.
"Visitor numbers at the Chamber's Visitor Information Center are up slightly from the previous two years," said Les Cohen, president and CEO of the Brookings-Harbor Chamber of Commerce.
"At least one of the Brookings motels has enjoyed their best summer in four years," Cohen said. "Overall, I would say that Brookings-Harbor had a positive tourism season."
He said the visitor numbers at the Crissey Field State Welcome Center near the California/Oregon border have been growing as the result of better signage for which the Chamber lobbied the state.
He also noted that the area's visitor numbers during the five-year recession period have been steady and slightly up, while several other communities on the coast experienced significant decreases in visitors.
In Gold Beach, City Administrator Jodi Fritts reported for the second month in a row that tourism has increased there.
Fritts told the City Council Monday that the Visitor Center had 3,610 visitors in August.
"Occupancy rate was 80 percent, with one hotel still left to report," she said. "That is the best occupancy since August of 2004.
"The visitor center manager reports that Canada has been vacated and they are all passing through Gold Beach," Fritts said. "There have been a lot of foreigners this year from Europe and Asia as well. Travel Oregon has been targeting the international market and it appears we are feeling that.":
Fritts said local photographer Rich Watson has organized a group of 45 photographers from around the country to come this week for a special photo shoot.
"Two photographers are coming from Austria," she said.
"It's been two months since we have had Carson McHugh Marketing on board and they have already exceeded my expectations," Fritts said.
•"We have a new Visitor Center logo.
•"The new website (www.goldbeach.org) launched this week.
•"We have had some awesome TV buys during major sporting events.
•"Special commercials have been created for the BrewFest and the Quilt Show.
•"We got a 65 percent reduction on a bus ad in the Valley,
•"We will have a featured ad for the next 12 months at the Medford Airport.
•"We are working on a new city/area/trail map for distribution at the Visitor Center.
•"Working on glass floats as our Tier I event.
•"We are creating our first ever Media Kit in partnership with the Chamber. Lots of exciting stuff in a very short amount of time."

If we know this to be true, that is that the government pays $100 billion in improper payments a year, then here are the follow up questions:
- What is being done to take it back?
- What is being done to prevent it?
- Who are the abusers?
- Who are being prosecuted?
- For how long has this been happening?
The Fox News story actually answers some of these questions.
First the magnitude of the immediate problem is $100 billion a year for each of the past five years that is $500 billion. We don't know if this is a recent anomaly or a system problem. It is probably systemic.
According to Fox News, Beth Cobert, deputy director of the White House budget office says they recovered $22 billion in overpayments last year. That is about 20%. Is that an acceptable amount and rate of recovery? No it is not.
Medicare and Medicaid are sources for waste, fraud and abuse. These programs are not the cause of the problem. The causes are from fraudulent medical corporations and doctors. Another aspect of the problem has to do with how medical claims are managed and checked.
Government should be performing in an automated regulatory environment. Checking should be automated, and to some extent it is. Are we allocating sufficient resources to medical and disability claims cost management? That is an important question.
Don't you want to see a perp walk?
"'Staggering': Government making $100B in improper payments every year
Published July 09, 2014
The U.S. government is making roughly $100 billion in improper payments every year thanks to a combination of fraud, clerical errors and insufficient IRS enforcement, according to testimony at a congressional hearing on Wednesday.
"The amounts here are absolutely staggering," Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., said.
The problem of erroneous payments – largely from Medicare and other health care programs – is not a new one. But Mica said at the hearing of a House oversight subcommittee that federal agencies reported over $100 billion in improper payments during each of the last five years.
That's roughly what the Obama administration spent on the Afghanistan war and other security operations last year.
"That's an incredible amount of money that has been misappropriated, mis-paid," Mica said.
The money is coming from an array of agencies, and includes tax credits to families that didn't qualify, unemployment benefits to people who had jobs and medical payments for treatments that might not have been necessary."

Settlement Value of Headaches in Personal Injury Cases
I'm fortunate in that I don't get many headaches, a blessing I attribute to good hydration and genetic good fortune. On the rare occasion that I do get them, they are debilitating. It is really hard to enjoy much of anything in life with anything north of a mild headache.
Juries struggle in figuring out how to value personal injury cases when the primary injury is a head injury that caused, and may be continuing to cause, headaches.
Why? Because headaches are largely subjective. So the credibility of the plaintiff – which is usually 90% of the game at trial – becomes the entire game because you can't know the pain level inside someone's head. Instead, you have to decide if you believe that their report of pain is what they say it is.
According to Jury Verdict Research, the average verdict for headache injuries is $33,423. The median verdict is $11,092. Putting this in context, the average award in apersonal injury case nationally is approximately $791,756. So verdicts in headache cases are 5% of the national average? Wow.
Juries are more inclined to believe older people… or they think young people should just deal with it. The median award for those under 18 was a $7,463. For plaintiffs between 19 and 39, the median award was $8,858. Once you get over 60, the awards rise to $13,454.
Verdicts in headache cases can exceed a million dollars. What do those cases have that the average case does not? Those cases usually have three components: (1) an objective head injury, (2) serious property damage, and (3) the testimony of a doctor who believe that (a) the headaches were cause by the accident, and (b) there is no expectation that the plaintiff will get relief from the headaches in the future. I'm not saying that without these the plaintiff is not seriously injured. But being seriously injured and getting a jury verdict commensurate with those injuries is two different things.
Interestingly, a full 42% of the car accident headache injuries in the study were rear end accidents. Intersection collisions made up 21% and turning collisions made up another 11%.

College Hockey:Northeastern coaching great Flaman named Legend of Hockey recipient
The Hobey Baker Memorial Award Foundation has announced its 2012 Legend of Hockey recipient is former Northeastern coach Fernie Flaman.
Flaman was behind the Huskies' bench from 1970-1989 and ranks as the longest-tenured and winningest coach in program history, racking up 255 victories in 19 seasons.
Prior to his extensive coaching career, Flaman was well-known to Boston hockey fans as a rugged defenseman. He was signed by the Boston Bruins in 1943 and played three years for the minor-league Boston Olympians before cracking the NHL in 1947.
Flaman played five years for the Bruins before being traded to Toronto, where he won the Stanley Cup in his first season with the Maple Leafs in 1951. After three more years in Toronto, he was back with the Bruins in 1954, playing another seven seasons. Flaman was named the Bruins' captain in 1955 and wore the 'C' for the duration of his career.
Current Northeastern head coach Jim Madigan played under Flaman in the early 1980s.
"Coach Flaman not only showed us how to develop into great players, but he coached us up in life and developed us into men," said Madigan in a statement. "He is not only a Northeastern legend, but a legend of the game."
Flaman has been inducted into three Halls of Fame: the Northeastern Hockey Hall of Fame (1989), the Hockey Hall of Fame (1990) and the Massachusetts Hall of Fame (2011).
Flaman will be honored along with this year's Hobey Baker Award winner at the Hobey Baker Award banquet May 17 in St. Paul, Minn.

The typical martial arts image of someone breaking bones and wrecking everything is a strong one in our culture. Jackie Chan adds humor and a degree of slapstick to the mixture. Some humor but not a lot occurs in the "Transporter" movies, typical for the "action" genre from Hollywood.
The Founders of this country were concerned with establishing and maintaining our freedoms as divine and "unalienable rights." Through a Revolution, a Civil War and the westward march, the American philosophy about violence grew to include a love of guns and combativeness (see any John Wayne movie is you doubt this).
Yet, as anyone who has been in combat will tell you, or has been in a Civil Rights demonstration turned violent, or has been the brunt of violence by family, friends, neighbors or by the police who are empowered to serve and protect, violence is terrible-- and not the answer.
The genius of those who have walked among us like Mahatma Gandhi, O'Sensei and Martin Luther King, Jr., were that these individuals saw through the cultural illusions to the undeniable reality that for us to exist in a state of harmony with each other, violence will not work.
When I was first exposed to non-violence, my first steps as a beginner were classes on non-violence. I had to learn to relax when someone got in my face using foul language trying to find my triggers. It wasn't easy for me. I grew up in a rough and tumble Midwest where any challenge or insult resulted is a test of wills and often a fists. My trigger points were right there on the surface.
I edged into non-violence through my growing up with a strong sense of right and wrong. Traveling on family vacations through the South, I saw the segregated facilities were not only unequal, they were wrong. And the conversations I would over-hear in gas stations and other public places among whites in the South were laced with profanities, ignorance and prejudice.
With a fair number of Civil Rights demonstrations under my belt, including having a confrontation with then Gov. George Wallace who was running for President that year, I was ready to travel to Washington, D.C. to hear Dr. King speak. The cold January weekend at a Presbyterian Church off Dupont Circle had Dr. King and others notables speaking about war (in this case, the Vietnam Conflict), Civil Rights and then addressing what those who were there could do in our local communities.
I have to admit; a lot of core message of what he was saying was lost to me until I began my study of Aikido. Once I got my body, spirit and mind lined up together, it all made sense. What I saw in O'Sensei was a man who had seen war, violence and death, and in a supra-militaristic culture was able to receive the gift of peace from the Heavens. Dr. King's own journey included the powerful example of Gandhi's life and daily danger, all no doubt honed to fine edge with his horrifying experience(s) in the Birmingham jail.
We all have our own journeys of discovering the non-violent, and violent, parts of ourselves. The dojos we train in are the perfect sacred spaces to feel free to let our barriers and prejudices down and allow, as Dr. King might say, "…the soothing waters of Peace to flow through us."
Please remember Dr. King and his work when you train.
