University Catalog (Registrar's page)
The Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education provides students with the opportunity for Teacher Certification (K-12 Music) in North Carolina. Students specialize in either instrumental, keyboard, or vocal music in preparation for a career as a music educator. This program is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. As an significant way to position Lenoir-Rhyne music education students for success in the classroom and to distinguish themselves from increasingly robust pools of candidates for Elementary, Middle and High School music positions, the University offers initial licensure at the graduate level in the same amount of time that it typically takes to complete the traditional undergraduate major. And we do so with deep tuition discounts to students completing their undergraduate degrees at LR. For details, contact Dr. Christopher Nigrelli at firstname.lastname@example.com for information about this opportunity.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance offers you rigorous training in music theory, music history, applied music performance, and ensemble performance in preparation for graduate level work in music. Students who plan to follow careers as professional musicians, university professors, professional conductors, opera singers, and touring music performers generally follow the music performance curriculum. You may combine the Music Performance Major with an Enrichment Minor in Sacred Music in preparation for a career in church music.
The Bachelor of Arts degree with a music major is a liberal arts degree which allows you to gain a solid grounding in both music and the traditional liberal arts. Frequently students who plan to pursue a career outside of music find that the liberal arts degree is well suited to a double major curriculum, allowing them to develop both their career area and their musical talent. You may also combine this music major with the minor in Sacred Music.
The Sacred Music Program supports a variety of degrees and learning experiences for those engaged in the study and performance of church music. The program serves persons of all denominations. It also allows ELCA students to fulfill requirements for Associate in Ministry status. Students may follow a curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree in Sacred Music, the Concentration in Sacred Music, or a Minor in Sacred Music.
The music minor allows you to pursue your musical gifts while majoring in another discipline. The minor consists of coursework in applied music, performance, music literature and history, and music theory. You will continue to develop your own musical skills and gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals of music. The music minor is specifically designed for students who find music enriching and who wish to enhance their own musicianship.

Forecast: U.S. home starts to top 1 million this year
Homebuilders at their annual show in Las Vegas have grumbled about labor shortages and rising mortgage rates.
But one thing they don't have to worry about is that the housing recovery will fizzle out, said Brad Hunter, chief economist for top housing sector analyst Metrostudy Inc.
"The housing recovery is still in its infancy," Hunter told builders at a Thursday morning breakfast. "There is still a lot of growth coming."
"We think the spring selling season is going to be good," he said. "Houston starts will be up 25 percent this year for single-family."
Indeed, Metrostudy is forecasting that nationwide starts for homes and apartments this year will be the best since the recession shut down housing construction.
"After seven years of famine we will finally break through 1 million starts," said Jonathan Smoke, the top economist with Metrostudy's parent company Hanley Wood. "The growth is more widespread and much more in single-family building than we have seen since the downturn began."

For the first time in quite a few years, my partner and I don't have any travel plans for this summer. We intend to ride out the heat, mostly at the Winedale place. Try to get up early, get our outdoors stuff done by mid-morning, and then head for the AC and stay pretty well indoors until the sun goes down.
I don't look forward with a lot of pleasure to a long hot summer, especially without much rain, but I'm not grieving about no travel plans. Travel has become almost too blamed much for me.
How about you? Plan to stay home, or take a big trip? Where you going?

With a $16 million budget for the two upcoming city elections, City Clerk June Lagmay on Thursday announced an ambitious effort to work with community groups and neighborhood councils to boost voter turnout.
"This is your chance to decide your government, Los Angeles," Lagmay said at a City Hall news conference flanked by activists from 15 different community groups.
The election features the three citywide offices of mayor, city attorney and controller, the eight odd- numbered City Council districts and three seats each on the boards of the Los Angeles Unified School District and the Los Angeles Community College District.
The primary election is scheduled for March 5. Candidates failing to get a majority will face off in a May 21 runoff.
Lagmay said there are 1.7 million voters in the city of 3.7 million residents.
To boost turnout, she said the city is using social media - Facebook and Twitter - as well as various organizations, such as the League of Women Voters, Rock the Vote and various ethnic groups.
This coming year, three new languages have been added - Armenian, Hindi and Thai - in addition to the six other languages in which the ballot is translated.
The registration deadline for the election is Feb. 9 and links will be available at the City Clerk's website, cityclerk.lacity.org, for people to register online, Lagmay said.

Horsetail Tree Casuarina equisetifolia
FAMILY: CASUARINACEAE (She-oak Family)
The horsetail tree Casuarina equisetifolia is a tall, slender tree native to Australia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. It is often found along coastlines, where its deep green, feathery branches dip and sway in the sea breezes. What appear to be the leaves, looking much like the needles on conifers, are actually small, modified branches from which the tree gets its common and species names. The branches are whorled and scaly, like the horsetail reed Equisetum sp.

The Ethics of Emotional Intelligence
Recent leadership failures in high profile companies draw attention to the reality that achieving goals – performance – is only part of the formula for success. Another critical piece is the way leaders do it which impacts others – relationships. Columnist Gael O'Brien says leaders who are low in self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills lack something called "emotional intelligence."

Device explodes at house in BelfastFriday 25 April 2014 20.05
The PSNI is appealing for information following an explosion at a house in north Belfast.
What is believed to have been a pipe bomb-type device exploded at the property in Carlisle Square at around 11pm last night.
A man in his 20s who was in the house was not injured in the blast.
The doorway of the house was damaged in the explosion.
A motive for the attack has not yet been established.

Last week I was given a unique opportunity when the administrators at Wood County Christian School in Williamstown offered to take me up to Cleveland with them when they played Ohio Valley Christian at Quicken Loans Arena, home of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
It was certainly a thrilling experience for the players and fans of the small school, and somewhat fun for me, too.
I'll freely admit I'm not the biggest fan of the NBA.
To be honest, I feel like the Wood County Christian players have a better understanding and grasp of fundamental basketball than the stars of the NBA, who frequently travel and carry the ball.
But even though I wasn't real keen on the NBA game, it was still an exciting opportunity for the school so away I went.
Following the conclusion of the Wood County Christian boys' game and conducting my interviews, I made my way up to "press row" and began filing stories and photos from the boys and girls games for publication in The Marietta Times.
There on press row as I worked on stories I was shocked and horrified at the conduct of players and people deemed to be role models and icons by millions of Americans.
With both the Cavaliers, and their opponent the Bulls, on the court warming up, a young lady came out to center court and began to sing the national anthem.
As she began singing The Star-Spangled Banner I was the only one in the gym that I noticed who stopped what I was doing and stood.
On the court, those players who would stand with their heads solemnly bowed at game time and act emotional when the anthem was played, just continued to shoot the basketball, totally ignoring the fact that our nation's song was being performed over the loudspeakers.
The guys who were setting up the scorers table continued to connect cables and setup television cameras, and the first few fans entering the arena just walked down and took their seats, some even wearing ball caps.
Now, you can say the young lady was just warming up, but it's still our country's anthem and it deserves that respect.
I will admit that I am a bit prejudiced towards the military and our country, as one of my best friends Willie Wellspring is currently serving as a computer analyst for the U.S. Army and his brother, Seth, another good friend, is undergoing special forces training with the Army.
So knowing them and the sacrifices they have made, I feel like there ought to be a little more honor given to the country in which we live.
Our men and women in the United States military have fought to earn that respect, and many have sacrificed their lives for it.
So why is it that men who are idolized by children across our country don't accord it that respect? Some of those players aren't from the United States, so I can understand that it's not their national anthem, but the majority of players are Americans.
Some of them may one day even wear the red, white and blue in the Olympics or the World Championships and represent the U.S.A.
So they should give our country the respect it deserves, and when the anthem is being sang at center court stop shooting a basketball and pay homage.
No less should be accepted.
Our veterans have earned it. Our country deserves it.

Apply Now Visit Request Information
The Liberal Arts program has been designed to accommodate working adults. All classes during the fall and spring semesters are scheduled on two evenings per week. Some students do find it difficult to balance the requirements of the program with demanding full-time work, and prefer to make some adjustment to their work schedule, either to part-time or to flex-time. Students in the Eastern Classics program have more class meetings per week, and full-time work is not recommended.
Housing in Annapolis
On-Campus Housing is available only during the summer semester in Annapolis. Incoming and current Annapolis students may contact the Graduate Institute office for a copy of recent postings on the Housing & Rides bulletin board in the Barr-Buchanan Center on the Annapolis campus. We also suggest the usual websites such as craigslist.com, to be used with caution and common sense. Students might also consult the Capital Gazette Real Estate page, our Facebook page, and the Graduate Council page.
Housing in Santa Fe
On campus housing is now available to graduate students year round. Many graduate students prefer to live off campus in apartments, condominiums, and private rental homes. Affordable housing in Santa Fe can always be located. The office of Graduate Admissions will prepare and disseminate a monthly housing email that provides rental listings as well as roommate and house-share opportunities. Often new students can arrange house shares with other new students through the housing email and reduce their housing costs substantially. Additionally, we recommend that incoming students pay attention to postings on santafe.craigslist.org, thenewmexican.com, and sfreporter.com.
To learn more about the dorms and the housing email list, contact . Also, feel free to check out our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sjcsfgraduatestudents/ to see the latest housing leads and network with other students over house-share opportunities.
Although some students who attend the Graduate Institute are considering further graduate or professional study, and although the college is pleased with the recognition that its graduate programs have gained in university circles, the primary intention of the Graduate Institute is not to prepare students for scholarly work. Our students—recent college graduates, teachers, executives, writers, professionals, retirees—come from diverse walks of life and are united by a common desire to deepen their understanding of themselves and their world by reading, pondering, and discussing classic texts, regardless of their subsequent plans.
Students in the Liberal Arts program must complete four of the five segments offered. They may do so by starting in any semester, and following a number of patterns. Many students attend fall and spring semesters for two years. Others pursue the "fast track" of four consecutive semesters, e.g., summer, fall, spring, summer. Many primary and secondary school teachers attend only during the summers, completing the program over four years. In Eastern Classics, the program sequence is fixed, and students normally enroll for three consecutive semesters: fall, spring, summer.
While the Liberal Arts program does not require the study of a foreign language, both campuses make it possible for students to study ancient Greek while enrolled. In Annapolis, a Greek language preceptorial and a follow-up translation preceptorial are regularly offered. In Santa Fe, interested students may participate in the ongoing, non-credit study group or summer Greek Language Institute. The Eastern Classics program requires the study of either Sanskrit or Classical Chinese.
At St. John's College mathematics and natural science are regarded as liberal arts that are capable of being understood and questioned by any inquiring mind. For more than 60 years we have been using classic texts to make mathematics and science accessible to non-specialists. Many Graduate Institute students who begin with a fear of math find their tutorial in Euclid and Lobachevsky to be one of their most rewarding experiences.
Yes. Each year a few students choose to enter one program after having completed the other. These students wish to explore how questions they have grappled with in one tradition—for example, questions about knowledge, justice, eternity, or wisdom—are dealt with in other traditions.
Although it may take time to reclaim the habits of study they once had, many mid-career and non-traditional students find that their greater maturity and experience enhance the excitement and depth of their learning and that their anxieties are soon forgotten.

Atlantic Star
Those of you newer to German games may have heard of a recent classic called Showmanager. Ostensibly about casting actors for productions of plays, it is a really interesting game revolving around very careful hand management and purchasing. It was a great game, published by a smaller publisher in Germany, and was very hard to get (since it is out of print.) I looked high and low trying to track down a copy for myself for a reasonable price, but to no avail. Then I heard about Atlantic Star, a re-release of the classic. I was excited until I heard that instead casting actors in plays as the theme, now it was about cruise ship operators. Well, I am very happy to tell you that fans of the old game, and those new to the game, will find this edition to be well worth purchasing. Read on
This game is not at all hard to play, but the rules sound tricky, so I wont explain them here. Lets focus on gameplay! The idea is that you are a cruise ship operator trying to put together cruise ship packages made up of ships for different legs of the cruises. You are trying to collect high value sets of cards in each color. Leg values run from 2-9. Ill give you an example: the Baltic (yellow) cruise is made up of 3 legs, so ideally you will try to get 3 cards that have one of the following on one each of the cards: Yellow A-9, B-9, C-9. But good luck. More realistic would be Yellow A-7, B-2, C-5. Your card score is the sum of your numbers with a bonus if you get all of the right legs of the cruise. (There needs to be a bonus, because getting all the right legs is a lot harder than youd think.) Now you place that cruise in the column that has the other cruises of the same color. You get Victory Points for how you place against other same-color cruises (and not your cruise score), so instead of trying to get perfect cards, you are just trying to get better than all the others.
Thats where the game gets tricky. You start off with no cards, and get them by drafting them off a board. The board holds 4 cards with a purchase price under each slot (0, 1000, 2000, 3000), and when a card is purchased, all the other cards behind that one get $1000 cheaper. So you may see the perfect card for your cruise, but someone else could buy it, or you may not even have the money yourself to buy it! Or you may not be able to take it. You see, you need to lay down your cards to score for a cruise, but when you lay down, you may only have 2 cards left in your hand. What that means is that you can only hold two cards in your hand that you want to save for other cruises. That is not much of a cushion and requires the players to exercise careful hand management, trying to get good cards for the next cruise without killing their current cruise in the hand. You may see a Blue A-9, and want to grab it, but you might already have a card showing Blue A-5 / Yellow A-4 and another card with Blue F-9, and you currently have been working on a Red cruise. If you take the Blue A-9, youll have to use the Blue A-5 / Yellow A-4 in your Red cruise, which will use up one of the legs of the Red cruise. Is it worth it?
Players are constantly juggling their hands and reprioritizing different cruises trying to manipulate their scores on the scoreboard, borrowing money by mortgaging some of their cruises, trying to outwait an opponent to make them settle on a score first so you can try and beat it, and even clearing the board to get rid of bad cards and hoping for better ones upon resupplying the ship board. The scoreboard has set scores for each position, so regardless of how much your cruise was worth by card value, it now scores a set number of points depending on how well it matches up against other cruises in the same color.
Sound confusing? Its not when you have the visuals in front of you, and suffice it to say it makes for a very tense but uncomplicated game. In fact, this game has been a hit with my family. It requires careful card management and some one-upmanship, but it is not at all a vicious game, and has a dose of luck to keep it from becoming too tight. Not that youll notice, since this game will keep you on your toes from start to finish. This game plays surprisingly well from 2-6 players, and has only about a 60 minute duration. This game has consistently gone over well with gamers, and should be a hit with families it was with mine. Highly recommended.
Usually when I see a German game that is listed for 2-6 players, I typically conclude that 2-person play is probably not worth the time and effort. Atlantic Star is an exception, though, offering a tense, fast-paced and enjoyable 2-player game. This may be one of the rare German games listed for 2-6 that actually plays better with 2 or 3. The rule translation I used was not formatted too clearly, but once learned, the rules are clear and logical. I knew Atlantic Star was a good game. What I didn't know is that it is a great 2-person game.
A previous reviewer complained mildly about the game parts. The card deck consists of a large number of cards and makes a fairly large stack. The current card stock is very good. A thicker stock would make the large number of cards unwieldy. Other game pieces are thick and colorful. The one thin item is a game aid not directly used in play.
When this game emerged, we played it to death. The first day I was exposed to it, we played it four times, and that's rare with my game group, as we choose to play many games, rather than one game many times.
As can be read in the other reviews, the mechanics are streamlined, as seems to be the case with every db Spiele game. And like their other games, there are never enough resources to do everything you'd like to do and you will find yourself selling your soul for just one more dollar.
I am familiar only with the original version of the game (Premiere), but Showmanager is a faithful re-issue, you cannot go wrong. Surely a must-have in your collection.

Four possible voyages require from three to six ships, and it's your job to charter them. Four ship cards, costing 0, 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 marks, are drawn and placed on the charter agency board. On your turn, purchase a ship or complete a voyage. When you buy a ship, charter costs for the other ships decrease by 1,000 marks if possible, and a new ship is placed in the 3,000-mark space. Ship cards show the value of that ship in particular voyages. After completing a voyage, write the total value of its ships on its associated emblem marker, and place it on the round-trip rank chart. Emblems, each representing a player, are ranked by value for each route. Determine the winner by adding the values associated with the chart positions of your emblems. Bon voyage!

Beesilk Jr for delicate skin
What is it for? For delicate skin that doesn't need the intensity of hardness and protection that the Beesilk hard lotion bar provides (i.e., babies, young children, or those dealing with extreme skin issues). Beesilk Jr feels more like a lanolin, but with easy application.
What's in it? Only shea butter, beeswax, and coconut oil. It has less of a honey scent (than the Beesilk hard lotion bar) due to less beeswax, and more of a natural rustic, smokey scent from the shea butter. No added scents or preservatives. Perfect for those allergic to many products found on the shelf.

In April 1943, when Ronald Norford was 10, his older brother Robert enlisted in the U.S. Navy and shipped out on a submarine patrolling the waters off Japan as World War Two was reaching full boil.
"My mother made me a white dress Navy uniform, like the real Navy uniform my brother wore, so she could take a picture of us both before he shipped out," Norford recalled. "He was a real caring brother."
Those memories still haunt Norford, now 81, in part because he never found out exactly what happened to his brother's submarine and the 82 men on board.
In October 1944, the Navy said the submarine, the S-294 Escolar, was lost at sea after striking a mine...

Robson had won the first set in her WTA Hobart opener against Belgium's Yani Wickmayer, but was forced to retire after losing the opening two games of the second set, throwing the world number 46's preparations for the Australian Open into turmoil.
Australia's Samantha Stosur emerged victorious only after a struggle against American Madison Brengle in Hobart, winning the rain-interrupted match 6-7(4) 6-1 7-6(6).
Stosur, the 2011 U.S. Open champion, has not advanced beyond the fourth round at home in the past five years, with six first round exits in 14 tournaments in Sydney, Brisbane and the Australian Open.
She also lost all three of her matches in the Hopman Cup in Perth before entering Hobart, which had attracted a strong field before a rash of late withdrawals.
Fifth seed Flavia Pennetta was the latest withdrawal from the tournament on Monday with a wrist injury, following seven-times grand slam champion Venus Williams, who pulled out on Sunday.
Pennetta had been due to face Williams in the first round.
"Unfortunately I felt some pain in my wrist in Perth and it hasn't had time to recover so sadly I have to withdraw," Pennetta said.
The 33-year-old Williams was beaten in the final of the Auckland Classic by Ana Ivanovic on Saturday and said she could not have withstood another tournament so went directly to Melbourne to prepare for the season-opening grand slam.
Champion Elena Vesnina, who arrived in Hobart last week to prepare for her title defence, is scheduled to play Puerto Rico's Monica Puig later on Monday.
At WTA Sydney, fourth seed Jelena Jankovic crashed out in the opening round, losing 6-4 6-2 to Russia's Ekaterina Makarova.
Two other former grand slam champions, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Francesca Schiavone, also ended their competitive Australian Open preparations early with first round losses at the Sydney International on Monday.
Double grand slam winner Kuznetsova, who had a good second half of 2013 to enter the Sydney tournament inside the top 20 after battling back from knee injuries in 2012, was surprisingly beaten 6-3 3-6 7-5 by American lucky loser Varvara Lepchenko.
Schiavone, the 2010 French Open champion, was bundled out by Lucie Safarova 6-4 6-4. The 33-year-old Italian was also knocked out of the first round of the Brisbane tournament last week by former world number one Jankovic.

The city manager of the town of Kingman is out of a job. The city commissioners voted 3-2 Thursday to fire Frank Soukup.
"A lot of the duration of the meeting was spent in executive session," said City Commissioner Charlus Bishop. "The content of that can't be discussed. The contract [of the city manager] can be terminated for any reason and at any time. That was the decision of the council last night."
After the vote, Soukup was escorted out of the meeting.
Kingman mayor Liz Madden, said commissioners fired Soukup over a 'policy disagreement.' She couldn't comment further stating the discussion happened in an executive session and the details are personnel matters.
"It was a very emotional decision," said Madden. "I was on the commission when Frank got hired and that made it even tougher to vote against him because he did a good job. We just had some disagreements over policy. I think that's the simplest way to put it."
This comes just a week after Kingman's police chief Marc Holloway resigned. Eyewitness News spoke with Soukup on Thursday about the resignation who said it was a personnel matter and no charges have been filed at the time, but wouldn't comment on camera.
Mayor Madden said the two incidents are not connected. Holloway attended the city commission meeting Thursday night, but only to discuss some questions commissioners had about his situation. She said those discussions were also in executive session and can't be discussed with the public.
Now the community will move forward in trying to fill both positions.
The mayor is in contact with a possible interim city manager who would come to help with the hiring of a new city manager. He is expected to be at the commissions next meeting on January 23rd. She didn't want to comment on a name, but said he is well respected in the state of Kansas and is a retired city manager who has helped with projects with Kingman in the past.
Until then, "the department heads will handle their own departments" for the next couple of weeks.
Longtime residents said this is the most change they've seen in awhile.
"Very, very shocking," said Ruth Lam who has lived in Kingman for 65 years. "The Seacat trial was very sad and it's just one thing after another now it seems. My children went to school here, they were raised here, I married in a church here. It was pretty heartbreaking."
"We've had some bad times and we've had some good times," said Butch Buchanan, another resident who's been in Kingman for 65 years. "I've heard some people talking. Some of it's kind of bad and other 'It's about time they've done something!'"
But both said they couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
"I like Kingman and it's a good place to live," said Buchanan.
"I couldn't say anything against this town," said Lam. "It's a good town, it's just had some bad publicity. I don't know what's happened. I would advise everyone to live here."
Commissioner Bishop said his concern is the negative feedback that has come with the recent changes.
"There's a log of negative, kind of bad emotions out there going on about the city, the police department, the commission," he said. "That's unproductive. There's a lot of good things about Kingman, the list is very long. And there are very few things that aren't good and need to be changed. Definitely need to be changed. And we are working on that."

" the cnac rep christie is very rude and disrespectful calls me a liar "
That's what people tend to call you if you lie to them. First you say you're going to arrange payment "after work" and you end up deciding that you'll pay on Dec. 14th.
Collection people at sub-prime lenders are not known for their kindness or leniency when it comes to delinquent accounts. Everyone who doesn't pay their bills has excuses. They've heard them all and believe none of them. Since they deal with people who have histories of not paying on time, can you really blame them?
" I am not a 17yr old child and I refuse to continue to be treated as such "
Agreed. You have to be at least 18 to default on a contractual obligation, but why quibble? They are treating you like an irresponsible person because you have not kept up with your responsibility to pay when promised. You may not like it, but you've earned it.
You seem to think that this lender should be kind and sweet and just accept whatever repayment terms you dictate. You have lost touch with reality. Do not be surprised if this lender decides not to wait for your payment on Dec. 14th.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Let's see, you borrow from a sub-prime (deadbeat) lender...
AUTHOR: Ken - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 03, 2012POSTED: Monday, December 03, 2012
Then you can usually pay on time, except for a few times here and there.
These "deadbeat" lenders don't believe ANY excuses anymore and they've heard them all numerous times a day.
All they want YOU to do is pay the amount you ageed to, on time EVERY time. Not so hard, right.
Being "accountable for all my life, actions and so forth" means not borrowing more than you can afford to pay back without having to stall them off "here and there."
Your next irritant will be called a "Repo," if you haven't figured that out for yourself.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

OK, so openpty returns a success, and hopefully the descriptors it returned
are valid.

I'm not sure if the "Bad descriptor" error refers to the descriptor
being sent or the descriptor over which it is sent. I suspect the former
otherwise sshd would have bailed much sooner.
I suggest using lsof(1) to examine the file descriptors in question, but
since there's a very small window to catch it you probably need something
like the patch below (ie run "lsof -p [pid]" while it's sleeping).
The other thing to check is to make sure all of your device files for
ptys exist (maybe rerun MAKEDEV or whatever FreeBSD uses).

Simple Click
The room is dark and packed with eyes staring at the screen. By the light of the monitor you can see the character on the face of the presenter as he views his own images. The images appear on the screen one at a time and at a pace dictated by the presenter's index finger tapping on the keyboard. You can hear a chair in the audience squeak as the room is otherwise dead silent. The audience is riveted by what they see on the screen with only a word or phrase said here and there, the show unfolds. Very few words are spoken during the fifteen minute presentation as none are really required. The photographs speak for themselves. The images, choice images taken in the last six months of New York life, feel the screen, the air and the imagination of all the viewers. While never the same images, I've seen this presentation over a dozen times and each and every time I'm just left in awe. Jay Maisel, who is called the father of color photography is the inspiration of the Simple Click.
If you're a Moose Blog follower then you know about the Simple Click but perhaps not the story behind it. Jay Maisel is the master of the simple click. He's images of NY life that he captures by always, always carrying a camera with him (D3 / 70-300VR) is the very essence of the simple click. No lights, no reflectors, just using the faces and places of New York as a canvas for the amazing light he finds on his travels. And for me he tops this off in his presentation with little or no words. The photographs carry the entire burden of saying the words. And isn't that at the heart of our photography? Or better put, shouldn't that be the heart of our photography?
Now before you get any idea that I'm some genius with the addition of Simple Clicks to the blog, keep in mind that my Simple Clicks was born just six months ago after seeing my last Jay Maisel presentation. That means I had seen it a dozen times before and after seeing those dozen, the idea never took seed. The message I fear was lost on me. Here's our challenge, to not just learn all it is to be a photographer (you know, that technical stuff), it's not to just get out behind the lens all we can (though that is essential), but to take in all the stimulation we get and put it into the click. And what better than a simple click?
Personally, I think the majority of photographers take photography just damn too seriously. Seriously! With few exceptions like the content of Pulitzers and the like, most of what we do as photographers is create entertainment. We might be creating education with our clicks, but we're not solving the world's problems with our clicks, we're simply sharing the fortunes we are so fortunate to see with others not as fortunate. We're telling a story, the story of our life and that of the moment's experience all wrapped up in 1/250 sliver of time. If we're successful, that story will reach out and touch the viewer of our image and grab them as the moment originally touched us. But this is all entertainment and if we expect to make the experience for our viewer fun, don't we have to have fun doing it? And if that's the case, don't we have the most fun, the greatest enjoyment in most things in life when it's simple? My dad thank goodness pounded many things in my head, one that really took was the KISS theorem. Keep It Simple Stupid.
The Simple Click was originally posted because, well, to be honest, as a quick way to get a posting up when I had no time. I picked an image I felt told its own story and needed nothing more from me after the click to grab you. I lucked out, it worked and keeps working it seems with most images. Jay planted the seed of keeping things simple and provided the recipe, I just had to follow it. But the response to the Simple Click still blows me away. And what is the Simple Click, it's no more than what Jay does every day in every way, carry a camera and when light and life strikes, go click!
We had a participant on our January Yellowstone Adventure who has joined us on many a DLWS. At DLWS, we go through camera technique to the digital darkroom finishing techniques in the pursuit of the gorgeous landscape photo. But when shooting wildlife, all the work, all the stress, all the finishing for me is done at the moment I go click (my wildlife images don't see PS). The Simple Click. This is what I teach when out with folks shooting wildlife. The Simple Click. This participant though has for a long time dealt with the "pressure" of the digital darkroom for finishing so photography went beyond the click and in some ways, had become a drag because of this extra after hours work. Half way through the week in Yellowstone, you could see what seemed to be a great weight lifted off his shoulders. Yellowstone tends to do that, it's part of its magic. I asked though what was up and to paraphrase, he said he now felt free again, that his photography without all the trappings of post processing was fun and rewarding for him. He had forgotten that joy. The Simple Click!
Photography can come with a lot of trappings. All these lenses, this body, those accessories and every imaginable tool and toy for post are available for those willing to shell out the dead presidents. I'm the first to admit that it is really easy to circum to these addictions of photography and get hooked. And in that quest to have the latest, the best, the most treasured, perhaps comes the pressure to take photography so seriously. Perhaps that's why Simple Clicks is so popular, giving some permission to not be serious, to just enjoy what it is to be a photographer. I think that's what Jay did for me, said it was alright to be a photographer again and make it all happen at the moment it clicks with what HE so apply calls color, light and gesture. The man is a genius, a one of a kind and a photographer documenting the complexities of life on a daily bases in its simplest forms, with a simple click!

The Postgraduate Forum gives an idea of the range and depth of research undertaken by the school's postgraduates. It publishes postgraduate work, lists useful research and postgraduate links and conference announcements. There are also three student societies, The History Society, The Archaeological Society and The Maximus Society (for Classics).
When considering one of our research degrees, we advise you to make informal contact with a potential supervisor and/or programme director before applying, to help ensure this is the right programme and supervisor for you. You can take the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. Find out about staff research interests in Archaeology, Classics and Ancient History, History, and History of Medicine.

It's there where Taylor, 88, checks papers, helps students with their school work and often times lends them an ear in their time of need.
"Students love her (Taylor) . . . and probably overuse her," smiled Old. "She probably gives them a bit of extra TLC. Some kids might have a bad morning before they come to school, and Grandmother gives them that extra attention they need."
Taylor assures her role as a foster grandparent in Old's class, where she's been for over 10 years, is definitely an important and enjoyable one.
"I'm not a sitting person," admitted Taylor. "I like to be active and to help these kids. I enjoy it."
Taylor checks papers, but not tests, she quickly points out. She straightens the math, reading and art centers for Old and occasionally she'll bring treats for the students during holidays.
"Grandmother is very helpful and not only with the children. She organizes the room and gets the centers and seat work ready in the mornings," Old said about Taylor.
In honor of National Volunteer Week, which begins today and lasts through Saturday, all foster grandparents in Sikeston will be recognized at a special breakfast Tuesday at Bo's Bar-B-Q and Grill in Sikeston.
Morehouse Elementary Principal Jeff Williams said the "Grandmothers," as they're called at Morehouse, assist classroom teachers and provide one-on-one instruction to select students. And they are very much a part of the staff at Morehouse Elementary, he assured.
"The children really look forward to seeing them. And when they're gone for a day or so, they ask: 'Where's Grandmother?'" Williams noted.
Foster grandparents can be found at Sikeston R-6 Kindergarten Center, Sikeston R-6 elementary schools and Sikeston Head Start. Foster grandparents are also in East Prairie and Poplar Bluff. They work 20 hours per week and earn $2.65 per hour. Much of the program is funded through the United Way of Sikeston.
"It's rewarding because you don't do it for the money, but for the difference we make in the kids' lives," said Velva Hankins, 71. "They're like our own kids . . . like our family."
And one of the biggest pluses of volunteering at the schools is hearing all of the funny things that come out of the students' mouths, Hankins and Taylor noted.
"Kids say the funniest things," Hankins laughed. "Once a kindergartner, or I think he was a kindergartner, wanted to buy an extra milk for a nickel and I told him, 'Honey, I don't think you have enough.' He said, 'That's OK, Grandmother. You can give me the change."
And on Grandmother Hankins' 70th birthday, one of the students asked her: "Grandmother, how old are you?" Hankins told him her age, and the child replied: "Well, I guess you're almost dead."
Hankins laughed as she remembered that birthday, and immediately lit up as she thought of another story.
"One of the other Grandmothers told me about a small kid who was in the hallway and had two larger kids on each side of him. She was trying to get through and all of a sudden the small boy put his arms out in front of the other kids and said, "Wait a minute fellas, let the old ladies pass."
Hankins and Taylor don't mind the old age cracks, they said. They know kids are being kids.
Perhaps nothing feels better than when the Grandmothers have helped a struggling student in a certain subject and then score a 100 percent on the next test.
"It makes you feel good," Taylor said. "With this job, you can laugh sometimes and cry sometimes."
To be a foster grandparent, volunteers must be 60 years of age or older and have an annual income of no more than $11,640/single or $15,615/couple. Each foster grandparent works 20 hours per week and earns a small stipend of $2.65/hour.
Volunteers are always need for the Foster Grandparent Program, and Hankins recommends the program to anyone, she said. It's great and anybody would love it, she said. And if they don't like it, they can quit, she pointed out.
But for Taylor, who attended school at Morehouse and worked in the lunchroom for years before becoming a Grandmother at the school, the position is one that touches close to the heart.
"It's something to get up for in the mornings," Taylor said. "It's good to have a place to go every day."

6407 - Students to Host Fishing Derby in Honor of Inauguration
6407|September 21, 2012
The Malone University student social justice organizations be:Justice, the Fishing Club, and the Social Work Club are joining forces to host a Fishing Derby on Saturday, October 13 from 2:30-5:30 p.m. at Varian Orchards, located at 6344 Orchard View Drive Southeast, East Canton.
The Fishing Derby is open to the public and will include fishing, delicious baked goods, and rides on the big green apple trolley. Experts from Malone's Fishing Club will be on hand to help children (and grown-ups!) catch fish. Prizes will be given for first fish caught, fattest fish, longest fish, etc. The lake is stocked with bass, blue gill, crappie, and sun fish. Registration is helpful (but not required) at www.malone.edu/fish!
A limited number of fishing poles will be available for rent; bait is available for purchase. There is no admission price, but there will be opportunities to make a donation.
All proceeds will go towards the purchase of a Food Machine (foodmachine.org) to benefit one of 13 children's homes operated worldwide by Remember Nhu, a global organization dedicated to rescuing young women from human trafficking. With the use of a Food Machine, tilapia are raised in a tank containing water. The fish waste creates nutrient rich water used to fertilize the plants in the grow beds. The plants then act as a biofilter, cleaning the water, which flows back to the fish tank.
Find out more about Remember Nhu here:
The project is one of many currently being carried out by the University in honor of President David King's upcoming inauguration, including specific acts of service to the church, community, and the world.
Malone University, a Christian university for the arts, sciences, and professions in the liberal arts tradition, affiliated with the Evangelical Friends Church, awards both undergraduate and graduate degrees in more than 100 academic programs. Malone has been recognized by the prestigious Templeton Foundation as a leader in character development, as one of Northeast Ohio's Top Workplaces by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and is ranked among the top colleges and universities in the Midwest under the category Regional Universities according to U.S. News & World Report's America's Best Colleges 2015

Morgan Stanley's Memo: 'We Continue to Play a Constructive Role'
Deal Journal has chronicled several memos from Wall Street firms intended to comfort employees in the wake of this weekend's momentous events. There was this from J.P. Morgan Chase and this from Citigroup. Here is Morgan Stanley's contribution.
|Associated Press
To: All Employees
From: John Mack
Given everything happening in the industry over the weekend, I wanted to provide you with an update on recent events and what they mean for us at Morgan Stanley. I also will be speaking about these developments at tomorrow's Strategy Forum at 8 a.m. EDT.
First, for all of us who have friends and colleagues at Lehman Brothers, what has happened at that firm is very unfortunate. While this development is unsettling for the markets, Morgan Stanley has minimal direct exposure, and we do not expect any material adverse financial impact on our results.
Second, we have been working through the weekend with a consortium of commercial and investment banks on a series of initiatives to help stabilize the financial markets and provide additional liquidity, if needed. These include, among other measures:
Working co-operatively to ensure that Lehman's positions and derivative exposures can be unwound in an orderly and fair manner.
Establishing a collateralized borrowing facility of at least $70 billion that will be available to members of the consortium to provide additional liquidity.
The Fed is also adding more liquidity to the market by expanding the Primary Dealer Credit Facility and making other rule changes.
We will continue to work closely with the U.S. Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, the SEC and other market participants to ensure the industry is doing everything it can to provide additional liquidity and assurance to the capital markets and banking system. I believe that as an industry leader, we have a critical role to play in helping to stabilize the markets in this unprecedented environment. That was the reason we agreed to advise the U.S. Treasury on the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac situation, and that has guided our efforts over the past few days as well.
Despite the market turmoil that the industry is experiencing right now, we continue to see opportunities for profitable growth, and I am confident that Morgan Stanley is well positioned to realize them. We have delivered two quarters of solid profitability and an attractive average ROE of 16 percent for the first half of the year. We will be updating the market on the strength of our performance when we report third quarter earnings this week. We have been aggressive this year in maintaining strong capital and liquidity positions, with $180 billion in cash and the highest Tier 1 capital ratio on the Street in the second quarter.
Morgan Stanley is a strong firm with a strong balance sheet and incredibly talented people. We are uniquely positioned to succeed in this challenging environment. I want to thank you all for staying focused on our business and our clients, as we continue to play a constructive role within the industry to stabilize the markets.

Egypt's opposition called Sunday for an investigation into allegations of vote fraud in the referendum on a deeply divisive Islamist-backed constitution after the Muslim Brotherhood, the main group backing the charter, claimed it passed with a 64 percent "yes" vote. Official results have not been released yet and are expected on Monday. (AP Photo/Amr Nabil)

Edward Fitzpatrick's Oct. 1 column ("Time to shut down D.C.'s partisan games") is spot on. We cannot continue to have a government that wants to continue to operate through threats and blackmail.
Newt Gringrich stated that government shutdowns are part of the process. He cited 17 previous occasions. He then said President Obama is to blame because he does not understand how government works.
We elected this president because we wanted change. A history of bad government, with things that have nothing to do with the nature of the original bill being added to bills, or in this case an attempt to reverse a previously passed bill, does not justify the continued process.
Mr. Fitzpatrick is right when he says there is not much, if any, faith left in our government today. Perhaps a good start would be to impose term limits for the House and Senate to help weed out the antiquated methods and thinking.
This current group of legislators is dysfunctional and makes our country and its citizens look like fools to the world. The only way to make changes moving forward is to make better decisions at the polls.

Longtime employees claim discrimination in casino layoffsUPDATED 6:17 PM EDT Aug 19, 2013
An age-old drama between employer and employee is being played out this month at the Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg.Video Transcript
LINE POSITION... OFFERING THOSE EMPLOYEES AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ELSEWHERE ON THE CASINO FLOOR. BUT IN THE MIDST OF SHUFFLING... SOME OF THE WOMEN SAY... THEY'VE BEEN DEALT A BAD HAND. WL-WT'S JOHN LONDON IS LEADING THE WAY... WITH OUR BIG STORY AT 5-30. These ladies are rolling the dice in a sense, but figure they've got nothing to lose at this point. They say they were laid off two weeks ago and replaced by those who are younger and -- in some instances -- thinner. (Lynn Kallmeyer) ("I feel discriminated against.") (voice of John London) ("In what way?") ("My age and my health.") Lisa Ellis was a restaurant server, had been there five years. Like others here, she clung to the casino's health coverage benefits. (Lisa Ellis) ("I feel like I've just been thrown out for a younger model.") They waited for the arrival of the union's representative. So did we... (union representative) ("Media can't be on premises.") As they went in, Todd George, the casino's general manager, was telling us it's not a matter of shoving older workers out the door, but of "looking to have the right people in the right places." George said the women were offered an opportunity to apply for other jobs when the outdated position of buffett line server was eliminated. He says there's still eighteen spots to fill. A human resources rep showed up at the union meeting, but apparently wasn't able to change the minds of those who see "blatant discrimination" at work. (Gabrielle Jones) ("Especially when we were told by witnesses that we weren't put into positions due to our weight...") Says the union told her not to talk to us ... ("...our weight doesn't, hasn't kept us from doing our jobs the past three years.") As the casino shifts jobs around, it says this is not about appearance, but experience. (Lynn Kallmeyer) ("Granny don't have a job anymore. I miss all of my customers. I miss my job. I loved my job.") 84 year-old Lois Phipps was a greeter. (Lois Phipps) ("Go get my check and forget it for a while. Sign up for unemployment.") Kallmeyer believes the increased competition has resulted in downsizing and since her age group makes the most insurance claims, the math works against them. HOLLYWOOD CASINO GENERAL MANAGER TODD GEORGE SAYS THE WOMEN ARE NOT PORTRAYING AN ACCURATE PICTURE... AND THAT EIGHTEEN POSITIONS FOR HOSTESSES, HOUSEKEEPERS, SERVERS AND CASHIERS ARE YET TO BE FILLED... SHEREE... TONIGHT AN OHIO COUPLE IS

Jen doesn't really paint her nails, but she wants to start. She's heard people, including me, talking about 'good nail polish formulas' and wants to know what exactly that means.
I'm not entirely willing to tell you exactly what to buy; people have different tastes and what works for some may not work for others. Here, however are some criteria to help you decide what you think is a good formula.
- Dry time: Not everyone considers dry time extremely important, though most people consider a fast dry time to be a plus. If a polish dries too slowly, it's more probable that you'd accidentally get nicks and dents in the surface unless you're extremely patient. What constitutes fast dry time, to me, is if after I've painted the tenth nail in a row, the first one is dry and ready for another coat, though I wouldn't call absolutely anything that takes longer than that 'slow drying'. Decide how slow is too slow for you (or if it's even a problem at all).
- Wear: Pretty much everyone considers this one to be important. How quickly does your polish usually chip? Does x polish chip faster or slower than your personal average? Knowing what's average for you, personally, is important, because the things you do with your hands will definitely have an effect on the wear of your polish. Keep in mind that not all chipping is the polish's fault. This week, I spent some time prying sifters out of jars right after I painted my nails. Obviously, the fact that the polish showed some tip wear doesn't indicate a problem with the polish.
- Texture: Is the polish too thick for you? Sometimes a polish will be so thick that getting the surface of the polish to dry smoothly is nearly impossible. Thinner can help this sometimes, but not always. Overly thin polishes can often be worse, because there isn't much you can do to help the texture.
- Opacity: If the polish is meant to be opaque, how hard is it to make it that way? Two coats is standard, three coats isn't unheard of. Most people consider four or more coats for opacity to be too many. Keep in mind, though, that some polishes are meant to be sheer. If it's one of those, then there's a lot more wiggle room.
- How Easy Is It To Work With? Is there anything that makes this polish too difficult to use? Is it a glitter polish that doesn't seem to let you actually place any glitter? A polish that streaks too much? Is it too hard to get rid of the streaks?
- Are There Any Ingredients That You Object To? Lots of nail polish wearers object to certain common chemicals in nail polish like DBP, Formaldehyde and Toluene. Research these ingredients and decide if you want to avoid products that use them.
- Remember to Take Finish Into Account: Matte polishes are notorious for chipping quickly and many find cream polishes more difficult to work with than polishes with shimmer. Glitter polishes are generally agreed upon to be very difficult to completely remove.
- You Can Extend Wear and Shorten Dry Time: Using a base coat and top coat can help extend wear of a polish by a few days. Dry time can be sped up with fast-dry drops and top coats.
- Some Dark Colors Will Stain: Dark colors have a tendency to occasionally discolor your nails. Try using a base coat to prevent this.
- Sun Exposure: Sun exposure can change the color of your polish, especially if it's lighter. There are topcoats with UV protection available, though I never bother with those myself.
