I have saved my changes as Core path outline.ai, and in this exercise I am going to show you how to make an alteration. So as I said, I want to make this guy's thumb come out. Right now it curls around. I want to make it come out into this guy's hand and then by the same token, this guy is going to have his index and pinky extended making a sort of hang 10 gesture. Now in order to pull that off, I need to make a modification to this region right here and I am going to do that by switching to the White Arrow tool. I am going to marquee this segment and I am going to press the Backspace key or the Delete key on the Mac to delete it.
Then I am going to press the P key to switch to the Pen tool and I am going to click like this just to bring that thumb into that region right there and then finally I will complete the path outline, like so. Now, I may need to make a few adjustments here and in fact I am going to. One thing I am going to do is nudge this point over just little and I am doing that using the Arrow keys. I might want to nudge this point over as well so it's more or less aligned like it was. Although this isn't essential, I am just doing all this work for aesthetic reasons. And I am going to take these two points right here.
Click on one, Shift+Click on the other, and I am going to lift them, because his hand's just too darn thick, it seems to me. This hand right here could use a little bit of thickening. So I will drag that finger up. I am going to have these two fingers tucked down eventually once I get done finishing off the interior. This looks like it's pretty good. I am just trying to nudge everything into alignment so that I'm comfortable with the location of the points, because once I accept them, I'm going to have to stick with them, is is basically what it comes down to. So he's going to have this big giant thumb, fair enough, but his fingers are to be a little slimmer. And now I will marquee these points like so, because they're the ones I just got through changing.
I did not select that point, I did not select that point. Just these points right here in between and I will press Ctrl+C or Cmd+C on the Mac to copy them. Now I am going to switchover and I'm going to get rid of those similar points over on this side. Now this takes a little bit of imagination, but I'm pretty confident it's these three points that need to come out. So let's give that a shot. I will marquee them with the White Arrow tool and I will press the Delete key or the Backspace key in order to wipe them out. Then I will press Ctrl+V or Cmd+V on the Mac to paste that path just right there in the center.
I don't care if it's aligned with anything at this point. I will go ahead and get my Black Arrow tool and I am going to drag this endpoint in alignment with this one right there, because we are going to need to lift it around, like so. We are going to rotate this new path around this endpoint. So I will press the R key to select the Rotate tool and then I will Alt+Click or Option+Click at that shoulder location, enter an Angle of -120 degrees, that's exactly what I want, and click OK. Now again, we cross our fingers, go ahead and grab that White Arrow tool, marquee these two end points, and like usual we've got to do the mash your fist J number in order to confirm that we have coincident end points.
So press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+J, Cmd+ Shift+Option+J an a Mac to bring up the Join dialog box, select Corner and click OK. And then, go ahead and marquee these two end points, they're the last ones that need to be joined together. Press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+J, Cmd+Shift+ Option+J on a Mac, and that didn't work, which is really potentially a big drag. Now I say it didn't work, because we didn't get the dialog box. When we don't get the dialog box that means you did not have coincident endpoints. You do now, because they got fused together. But I am going to press Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z on the Mac in order to undo that modification.
I am going to turn off the template layer, so I can see what I am doing. I am going to press Ctrl+Y or Cmd+Y on the Mac so I just see the path outlines. Let's get rid of those guides as well. Where are the guides these days? They are down here. I will hide that guides layer. And then I am going to Ctrl+ Spacebar+Drag around these points. That's Cmd+Spacebar+Drag in order to zoom way in on them and I'm going to click off the point to see what the deal is. Man! even at 6400% I cannot see a gap. So apparently the gap is not big enough to worry about.
But anyway, I'll go and marquee those two points. You can see that they are separate, because there are more rectangular when I select them, than square. So one is apparently little higher than the other. Anyway, what happens when you have two endpoints that aren't quite on top of each other and you press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+ J or Cmd+Shift+Option+J on the Mac, you both align them with each other so they just scooted right on to each other. You make them coincident and then you go ahead and join them and in this case, it must've joined them with a corner point. So all is well, I guess, because that should be good enough.
If you have any concerns about it, then you would run through that whole number where you select the guy and you rotate him and all that jazz. Now we have something of a screen redraw problem here, because we have got these thick edges, I should think if we just move that path a little bit like so, those will go away. Anyway, I press Ctrl+Z, Cmd+Z on Mac to undo that change, and let's just test that these guys are still in alignment with each other. I will grab my Rotate tool, I will Alt+ Click or Option+Click on the bridge of the nose right there, -120 degrees is fine, Copy, then press Ctrl+D or Comman+D on the Mac in order to duplicate that rotation and duplication.
Switch back to the Black Arrow tool, zoom in, make sure everybody is aligned with each other. Well, these hands definitely are aligned just fine and these other areas look like they have alignment as well. So it seems we lucked out, and everything is okay. I like it better when we have perfect alignment between those points, but I suppose every once in a while we can accept less than perfect results. I am going to marquee these two paths in order to select them, press the Backspace key, we are left with our core path outline with the big giant fist on one side and the strange hand signal on the other side. We are going to go ahead and build up these paths, I will press Ctrl+Y, Cmd+Y on the Mac to switch back to the Preview mode.
I am going to leave the template and guides layers turned off, but I am going to bring up this layer, interior, which contains all the interior elements. You can see that for the most part everything works out just fine. He is a fairly strangely put together guy with some spikes on his back and these scales on his arm. He is wearing a monocle and he's got a pocket on the back of - is he wearing jeans or not, he has got a seam over on this side and the other side, but he doesn't really have any place for his tail to come out. So he is a fairly mysterious creature, but we do have to make some modifications.
We have to bring out that thumb out, we have to rearrange the fingers a little bit, we have to change the hand signal over on this side. And, because my path outline has changed a little bit, because I redrew it for you here in the last few exercises, I am going to have to realign some of these points around the outside of the creature, and we will do all that work in the next exercise.

I suspect that I'm slightly intolerant of coconut - had tummy rumblings too many times after coconut products (the whole nut, the milk, the oil...but not the flour interestingly).
I'm not sure it's the fat - I can chow down on animal fat no probs. Although it IS a different kind of saturated fat, so maybe the novelty of that is the problem?
I'd be interested to see what others say
Also, try a different brand of coconut milk, in case there's an additive or something?

Stewart to take 8-week break
Comedy Central officials say Jon Stewart will take a break from "The Daily Show" starting in June to direct and produce his first feature film.
"Daily Show" correspondent-writer John Oliver will host the fake news show for the eight weeks of original episodes scheduled during Stewart's hiatus. The British-born Oliver has been a "Daily Show" regular since 2006.
Stewart is expected to be back in the anchor chair shortly after Labor Day, Sept. 2.
The film, titled "Rosewater," was written by Stewart and is based on a book by Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari.
London resident Bahari was falsely accused of being a spy and imprisoned by the Iranian government in 2009 while covering Iran's presidential election. Before being jailed, he was interviewed in Iran by "Daily Show" correspondent Jason Jones.
Valerie Harper diagnosed with terminal brain cancer
Valerie Harper, who played Rhoda Morgenstern on television's "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and its spinoff, "Rhoda," has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
The 73-year-old actress, who received the news on Jan. 15, said doctors told her she has as little as three months to live.
Harper said, "I don't think of dying. I think of being here now."
Harper's character, Rhoda, was one of television's most beloved sidekicks during the 1970s.
Peet's play set for fall on New York stage
Actress Amanda Peet is hoping to make her professional debut as a playwright next season with a drama that may attract Blythe Danner and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Officials of the Manhattan Theater Club said they want to stage the world premiere of Peet's "The Commons of Pensacola" as part of its 2013-2014 season. Lynne Meadow, artistic director of the company, will direct.
"We are in conversation with Blythe Danner and Sarah Jessica Parker about appearing in this timely, new play about a family weathering a major financial crisis," artistic producer Mandy Greenfield said.
Parker's husband, Matthew Broderick, is currently starring with Danner in Broadway's "Nice Work If You Can Get It." Peet is known for roles in "Saving Silverman" and on TV's "The Good Wife."
Judge says Berry can't move daughter to France
Halle Berry says all she wants is a normal life for her daughter.
The Oscar-winning actress had hoped to move to France with 4-year-old Nahla and Berry's fiance, Oliver Martinez. But a judge in her custody dispute with Nahla's father, Gabriel Aubry, prevented that.
Berry says she's now trying to figure out how to make life "more normal" for Nahla in the Los Angeles area, where they live.
Says Berry: "That's all I really want, just normalcy for her."
Berry calls herself "resilient" and says she'll figure it out.
Aubry and Berry settled their bitter custody battle in November, soon after Aubry and Martinez got into a fight that left Aubry with a battered face and Martinez with a hand injury. Aubry was arrested but not prosecuted.
Berry stars in the upcoming thriller "The Call."
Fans campaign for Reedus to survive on 'Walking Dead'
From week to week fans simply never know which characters will survive the relentless zombie attacks on AMC's hit series "The Walking Dead."
"You see series and they last a long time and sometimes the writing gets lazy or the acting gets lazy. Because we're in a zombie apocalypse and anyone can go at any time, it sort of keeps us fresh and on our toes," Norman Reedus, 44, said.
Fans lined up around the block to watch a panel discussion with Reedus and his co-stars at Paleyfest, the annual Southern California TV celebration. Many in the crowd showed their support for Reedus' crossbow-wielding character, Daryl Dixon, with their "If Daryl dies we riot!" T-shirts.
Shelton, Bryan to sing on country awards show
Academy of Country Music Awards show co-hosts Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan will also perform during program on April 7.
They'll be joined by Shelton's wife, Miranda Lambert, George Strait, Hunter Hayes and The Band Perry.
Pop star and former "American Idol" champion Kelly Clarkson, a two-time ACM winner in 2012 and a nominee this year, also will perform as she continues to increase her country profile since moving to Nashville.
The ACM Awards will air live on CBS from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Eric Church is this year's top nominee with seven nominations. Hayes is next with six.

Tokyo's 8-bit inspired musicians Sexy-Synthesizer have fashioned a career out of paying homage to retro gaming. The nostalgic styles of composer Takeshi Nagai, VJ Yoshiteru Otani, and vocalist Chihiro have become a centerpiece among a number of contemporary music albums attempting to draw on the essence of gaming's heritage. For the arrange album Love SQ, released by the Square Enix Music label, Sexy-Synthesizer offered a remix of Frog's theme from Chrono Trigger, while on the Katamari Forever Tribute album, the group provided an old school chiptuned remix of Namco Bandai Games' "Katamari on the Swing."
Early this year the group took to the stage to participate in the annual Fami-Mode live festival, celebrating the lasting appeal of the 8-bit Famicom game console, (known here as the NES). Organized by METEOR game culture shop owner Satoshi Sakagami, the get-together included a spirited music concert and no-holds barred NES gaming tournament. In this interview taking place at Shibuya's Club Asia, we hear from Sexy-Synthesizer's Takeshi Nagai on the artistic approach of the music group and how Sakagami's festival has paid tribute to the enduring sexiness of Nintendo's legendary home console.

1UP: Sexy-Synthesizer harkens back to old school videogame consoles, both in its use of retro game audio and in arranging classic game melodies. How would you introduce this unique approach to the creation of electronic music in your own words?
Takeshi Nagai (musician, Sexy-Synthesizer): I would call it a combination of dance music and 1980's game audio, drawing from sources such as Pac-Man and Space Invaders. Our video jockey brings to the performance images of retro screenshots and pixel art, combined with evocative Japanese pop culture visuals from the '80s. It's the kind of thing that people growing up among that generation can find nostalgic.
1UP: Would you say there's a clear relationship between the music you are composing for Sexy-Synthesizer and the visuals being produced by Otani-san?
There are definitely shared elements. Technologies that were once the state-of-the-art now appear a bit backwards and clunky, which only makes them more endearing. Otani-san and I are in a constant dialog about how to incorporate our memories from way back then into our latest live music sets.
1UP: When you go about arranging videogame music, what kind of image do you want to bring to your interpretation?
It might be explained by the fact that Yellow Magic Orchestra made a big impact on me and was a major influence on my decision to become a musician in the first place. Katamari Damacy features contemporary music, but for our remix I wanted to include vintage electronic audio. With the support of Namco Bandai Games, we were able to incorporate all sorts of old school sound effects from Pac-Man, Galaga and Galaxian.
I'm fascinated by 8-bit audio... the rocket launchers and explosions. Whenever I can weave those into a music track my enjoyment is sustained throughout the entire creative process.

1UP: How have you been exploring the more recent collaboration with Chihiro on vocal tracks?
Chihiro has been handling a lot of the covers and remixes, but from here on out we're looking to compose some original vocal songs. Perhaps we can work some of the retro-futurism of our compositional style into the realm of song lyrics.
1UP: Sakagami-san of the METEOR game culture shop has been in charge of organizing the Famicom-themed Fami-Mode festival each year. What has been your experience in frequenting his store located in your home headquarters of Kichijoji?
METEOR of course specializes in carrying Famicom cartridges, t-shirts and various game culture accoutrements. At the same time, stopping by the store you'll often encounter people of notoriety that have nothing to do with the game industry, like published authors. It's a communal place where all sorts of people can hang out, including fans of gaming from overseas.
In terms of Fami-Mode, the organizers are in charge of putting together the old school gaming competitions. It's a chance to enjoy the Famicom in a club setting, as if you were at home playing with your friends. It feels like you're part of a big family, which is why I always enjoy participating in the event.
1UP: Acts at Fami-Mode, such as sets by rapper Smallest, hybridize hip-hop and retro game music. Do you find that overlap appealing?
It's a cross-over that certainly interests me and one that I would like to pursue in the future. I find it very interesting that in the United States there are popular rap and R&B artists now incorporating 8-bit aesthetics. A Japanese artist called Rapbit released an album in March where I contributed a "Bomberman Rap". It sets background music to a hip-hop rhythm with four vocalists rapping about multiplayer Bomberman.
1UP: In looking back at the event, what have you enjoyed about the musical acts performed at Fami-Mode?
I was really interested in the way Kplecraft mixed their chiptune sound with acoustic instruments this year, fully exploring the use of the saxophone, percussion instruments, and even the didgeridoo. CONSUMERS found a way to link their live visual performance with their sound, bringing the worlds of games and hip-hop together. OMODAKA, who played last, presents a fascinating hybrid of chip music and traditional Min'yo. I think that what brings such great potential to the Fami-Mode festival is that everyone who gets up on stage has an original take on chip music.

In Tandem Theatre moves back to funny, perceptive 'Apartment 3A'
Can one argue that really great sex proves the existence of God? Can a play in which a woman verbally counts out her simulated, onstage orgasms still be described as wholesome and old-fashioned? Is actor Jeff Daniels' "Apartment 3A," the comedy triggering these questions, really funny?

While the upper airway normally remains patent during quiet breathing in wakefulness and sleep, patients with obstructive sleep apnea have repetitive periods of upper airway closure during sleep. The upper airway closures usually occur at various sites in the pharynx. The patency of the potentially collapsible pharynx during inspiration depends on the balance between subatmospheric pressure in the pharyngeal airway and airway dilating forces generated by pharyngeal muscles. The pressure required to collapse the upper airway in the absence of upper airway muscle activity, ie, closing pressure, is normally subatmospheric. In obstructive sleep apnea, positive pressures are required to maintain patency of the passive upper airway. The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying upper airway closures during sleep form the basis for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. In general, these treatment modalities attempt to (1) raise the pharyngeal pressure above the closing pressure, (2) decrease the closing pressure, or (3) increase upper airway muscle activity.

Call him the Staunton River Slugger. Call him the Bedford Bomber. Most call him Cujo.
And Pennsylvania's calling his name, as well.
Why is it that, when folks talk about Thanksgiving plans, they say things like, "I'm gonna eat a lot of turkey and watch a bunch of football."
Staunton River's unlikely run at playoff glory came to a screeching halt last Friday evening, as Spotswood ground out a 36-18 win over the upstart Eagles.
Perhaps Liberty should change its nickname to "The Bankers."
After all, the Minutemen have been keeping hours that would make J.P. Morgan blush.
Liberty Athletic Director Lori Mattson announced that the Region III semifinal between R.E. Lee and Liberty will be played on Saturday night, rather than on Friday.
A field soaked by days of heavy rain proved unplayable. With the weather clearing, it should be dry enough on Saturday.
Game time is 7:30 p.m.
Not even a 51-26 loss to Northside in the season finale could derail the Staunton River express.
When practice kicked off this summer, Liberty Head Coach Chris Watts wasn't sure what he had on his hands.
It wasn't supposed to end like this.
Jefferson Forest left no doubt as to which is the best girls' team in Region III.
I often state that I have the world's greatest job. After all, I get to go to a bunch of ball games for free, take pictures and then write whatever I feel like writing.

During the past three years reports have appeared suggesting that parents of adopted children apply for psychiatric care of their children many times more frequently than nonadopting parents. These reports have aroused interest and concern among child welfare agencies. Prompted by this concern, the Staten Island Mental Health Center undertook a review of 593 cases studied at that child psychiatric clinic between 1956 and 1962. In this sample of cases only a small difference could be discovered between the rate of applications for adopted versus biological children and the proportions of such children living in the community.
The sample of children studied at the Staten Island Mental Health Center differed from the children studied in two reports which have generated much discussion. Dr. Schecter1 reported a high rate of adopted children admitted to his private practice of child psychiatry in Southern California between 1948 and 1953.

BOARDMAN - Tyler Cole and John Nader earned a top seed for next week's Division II district tennis tournament in Canton.
The Division II districts are Friday and Saturday at 9 a.m. The singles play at Weis Park and the doubles are at Canton City Park.
The John F. Kennedy High School boys tennis duo beat Rich Hill and Andrew Stille of Cardinal Mooney in Saturday's sectional semifinals at Boardman High School, 6-2, 6-0. Hill and Stille are a No. 3 seed.
Cole and Nader, both juniors, beat Ryan Calcagni and Anthony Riccardi of Poland in the finals, 7-6 (2), 6-2.
Cole and Nader, who advance to their third straight district, were untouchable during sectionals - not losing a match.
The two, who were the No. 2 and No. 3 singles during the regular season, made it really click this season, JFK coach Joe Marino said.
"This year they really understand doubles," Marino said. "They move well together. They use signs. They not only play fundamental doubles; they've figured it out. It's not just placement of the ball. It's the variety of shots. They play really well together."
Cole and Nader lost to state qualifiers their previous two years at districts. This year, they are the feared team, Marino said.
"When you're a No. 1 seed and one of the teams other people hope they don't have to play, it's good," Marino said.
JFK's Jad Abdul-Aal, who advanced to state last year, beat Lakeview's Aaron Paczak in the singles semfinals, 6-4, 6-4.
"Jad and he had a really good match," Lakeview coach Stephanie Hickey said.
Poland's Garrett Gardner then beat Abdul-Aal, 6-4, 6-0, to earn a No. 1 seed, while Abdul-Aal enters districts as a No. 2 seed.
"In order to beat him, you have to be on your 'A' game the whole match. Jad played well. Garrett was a little bit better today," Marino said.
Paczak, a junior, rallied from his loss to Abdul-Aal to beat Ursuline's Les Horvath in the finals, 6-2, 6-0. Paczak is a third seed, while Horvath is a fourth seed.
However, this is the first time a Lakeview singles player advanced to districts in the program's nine-year history.
"That's quite an honor right there," Hickey said.
In the other doubles matches, Calcagni and Ricciardi beat Lakeview's Eric Rohrabaugh and Zach Teffner in the semifinals, 6-4, 6-1. Calcagni and Riccardi are a No. 2 seed.
Rohrabaugh and Teffner, a No. 4 seed, lost to Hill and Stille in the finals, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.
Rohrabaugh, a sophomore, and Teffner, a freshman, started playing doubles two weeks ago. Neither played in sectionals prior to this year.
"They learned the doubles position. They have it down now," Hickey said. "They've come together as a team in short period of time."
This is the sixth straight year Lakeview has sent a doubles team to districts.
Paczak is heading to districts for the third straight season. Last year, he and Zack McDivitt advanced to state.
"He's going to be more prepared than my doubles team," Hickey said. "It's a much higher level of play. I'm hoping Aaron gets a good draw."
As for the trio from JFK, Marino sees good things in store.
"All three players have a really good shot at making it to state," he said.
DIVISION I: Canfield's doubles team of Nock Debiec and William Brown earned a No. 2 seed for next week's Division I district tournament.
Debiec and Brown beat Massillon Jackson's Mark Dickeroof and Mark Spencer-Jackson in Saturday's Canton sectional semifinals, 7-6 (4),7-5.
Debiec and Brown lost to North Canton Hoover's Rob DeMarco and Mike O'Connor in the finals, 6-0. 6-2.

With a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final came the end of what will go down as a failed season for Real Madrid. The summer transfer window is now right around the corner and Los Blancos will certainly be active.
There is a big issue, however, over who the club should bring in. The current squad is arguably one of the best in the world, so an empty season is a worry.
This article will identify the needs Real Madrid will have to address this summer. Specific players will not be the main issue addressed, but rather positions that need to be covered.

John Dudley: It's on all of us to change violent culture in youth sports
The week in adults behaving badly at youth sports events included footage of a Canadian hockey coach tripping an opposing teenage player and breaking his wrist in the postgame handshake line, and the mayor of Bethlehem, Pa., getting ejected from a wrestling match for screaming at an official.
This follows, by some six months, a gang-related knife murder at a pizza party after a peewee football game in Los Angeles. County officials responded by shutting down the league.
It's been 12 years since I co-wrote a series for the Erie Times-News about the problems adults create in kids athletics.
At the time, former Times-News writer Scott Westcott and I believed, after talking to educators, coaches, officials and athletes here and around the country, that heightened awareness might help make the problem go away.
If anything, youth sports have only gotten worse, becoming a battleground for hyper-exuberant parents and, in some cases, overzealous coaches.
The stakes have become so inexplicably high, the atmosphere so intense, that it's easy to forget that the whole reason for pitting kids in competition with each another isn't to separate miniature winners from losers or secure elusive college scholarship dollars -- it's to get them some exercise and make them smile.
But when a grown man commits a blindside assault on a 13-year-old boy during the one portion of competition intended to celebrate sportsmanship, the joy gets sucked out of the game pretty quickly.
So what's the solution? Unfortunately -- and, apparently, like everyone else remotely connected to youth sports -- I haven't the slightest idea.
The most well-intentioned attempts at prevention only work to the point where irrationality takes over.
I've coached in leagues where adults agreed to a parental code of conduct before the season that barred them from things like entering the dugout to complain about their child's playing time, only to have them enter the dugout to complain about their child's playing time once the games begin.
What next, then? Caged playing fields? Little League games held in front of empty bleachers? The end of the handshake line?
None of those options is appetizing, much less acceptable, in civilized society.
In reality, the problem might be slowly -- and sadly -- resolving itself. Two alarming statistics suggest that the day could arrive when organized youth sports as we know them begin to disappear.
In fact, it might be happening already.
From 2000 to 2009, overall participation in youth sports dropped by more than seven percent, to 73.3 million participants from 79 million, according to the National Sporting Goods Association. The biggest decline -- more than 26 percent -- was in youth baseball.
Perhaps even more discouraging is a National Alliance of Youth Sports study that shows about 70 percent of kids stop playing sports altogether by age 13.
The reason cited most often: adults with "misguided motives and ideals of what youth sports are all about."
In other words, fans yelling at other fans or referees. Coaches hunting down opposing players in the postgame scrum. Knife fights at team get-togethers.
We can all take a lesson from this. And, just maybe, we can begin to turn the tide by leading the best way we as adults can lead -- by powerful example.
The next time you attend a youth sports event, make it a point to seek out a parent from the other sideline afterward and offer congratulations on a game well played.
Thank your child's coaches -- early and often -- for their time and dedication.
Shake an official's hand and let him know that you understand he's simply there to to his job -- thankless though it might be.
You never know when some kid might be watching you. Maybe your own.

By Ben Zander, inspired by Roz Zander
Imagine two worlds that are completely different in nature: the downward spiral and the world of Possibility.
The Downward Spiral is the world we ordinarily inhabit. It contains all our fears, anxieties, successes and failures, expectations and disappointments. We are driven to measure and compare everything. It is where we experience belonging and not belonging; winning and not winning; success and failure. Everything good implies its opposite; everything bad conjures hope for change. It's a world of hierarchy where we compete and struggle to maintain our position in relation to others. In a word, it is the world of SURVIVAL.
The World of Possibility prompts us to remain open because we recognize that it is all invented and so we can create a setting for anything that we say is missing in our lives. In other words, we TELL A DIFFERENT STORY. Instead of meeting events with anxiety, defensiveness or resistance, we remain joyful, openhearted, at ease and in a state of contribution.
We could go to the Netherlands in either mode. However, I, as the leader of the group, have decided that it is going to be a tour of Possibility. That means we are open to finding partners, communities, miracles, because in Possibility, just by searching for them we will find them.
In the survival mode a long bus ride, a delayed flight or a long lay-over in an airport is likely to be an irritation, a reason to complain. It's a foregone conclusion. In the world of Possibility it is an opportunity to have a wonderful conversation with new friends. In Possibility nothing is either good or bad, it is our story that makes it so.
Possibility is an ART. It doesn't come naturally. Downward Spiral DOES come naturally. You don't have to work at the Downward Spiral. It will happen automatically whenever things aren't going exactly the way you want. We DO have to develop the discipline of Possibility. It takes practice, lots of practice, just like learning to play an instrument, which is why we call it THE ART of Possibility.
It is my intention, as the leader of this adventure, to keep practicing the Art of Possibility throughout the tour. I look to all of you to help me keep Possibility alive.
Here are some of the main Practices of Possibility (you will find all the practices in the book The Art of Possibility):
Story: The two salesmen are sent to Africa to see if there is any chance of selling shoes.
One telegraphs back: SITUATION HOPELESS STOP THEY DON'T WEAR SHOES
The other wires: GREAT OPPORTUNITY STOP THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SHOES YET
The circumstances are the same for both men, what is "invented" is their response. So, the practice is to look at our own assumptions when we do not like what is happening and ask ourselves: "What assumption am I making here?" Then ask yourself: "What else might be going on?"
The exciting thing is that our bodies (and especially our eyes) will reflect which mode we are in. The questioning of assumptions is a practice of possibility that lights up our eyes.
Giving an A to someone is to speak to the best part of a person. To speak to them as though they are willing and able to hear what you have to say. Talking to the part of the other person that is fully functioning, fully human.
The A in this model is not a standard to live up to, like the grade you get in school, but a possibility to live into. That is a powerful distinction.
What grade are the Arabs giving the Israelis and what grade are the Israelis giving the Arabs? And how are they doing? You might think of someone you know to whom you have been assigning a C minus, and then see what happens when you raise the grade in your mind to an A, not just for a few minutes, or a day, but permanently. That person will appear in a different environment henceforth. That is what I do for each of you when you come into the BPYO each Saturday afternoon. And that is why there is such an atmosphere of trust, love, exploration and fun. Try it on your family and friends this week before we leave. You will be amazed!
When we set off on tour, we can give each of the 132 people on the tour an A and also everyone we meet along the way. If we do, we will talk quite differently to them. Think of how you feel in the classes in which YOU get an A. Have you noticed that teachers talk differently to students to whom they give an A than to the ones to whom they give a C minus?
Most people focus on trying to be successful. Getting good grades, getting into a good college, getting a good job, getting a raise etc. Ultimately, success will be manifested in wealth, fame or power, and failure is the lack thereof.
Being a contribution is a totally different game (remember it is all invented, so life is really like a game - you chose the game and then you get to invent the rules for the particular game you are playing). In the game "BEING A CONTRIBUTION" you define yourself as a gift or contribution, to others and they to you. So when you meet a new person instead of thinking "I wonder if they will like me" or "I hope I am good enough to impress them", you think what a joy it is to meet this person, "because I can't wait to give them what I have to offer and I can't wait to experience who they are." That is what this tour is really about. It is not about impressing the Dutch or competing with them or each other, it is about sharing our different experiences and accomplishments and being a contribution.
I have long since given up the game of success/failure and taken up the game of Contribution full time. That is the real reason I conduct BPYO and go on tours to foreign countries with youth orchestras. I cannot wait to be a contribution in the Netherlands and be contributed to. I also look forward to having an opportunity to contribute to you all and being contributed to by all of you.
NB Success and Failure are like the back and the front of a hand, and, of course, you cannot separate the front of a hand from the back. Success and Failure always go together. The nice thing about contribution is that it doesn't have a back of the hand, except being contributed to, which is just as satisfying and joyful as being a contribution.
Two Prime Ministers are sitting in a room discussing affairs of state. Suddenly a man bursts in, apoplectic with fury, shouting and stamping and banging his fist on the desk. The resident Prime Minister admonishes him: "Peter," he says, "Kindly remember Rule #6," whereupon Peter is instantly restored to complete calm, apologizes and withdraws. The politicians return to their conversation, only to be interrupted yet again twenty minutes later by an hysterical woman gesticulating wildly, her hair flying. Again the intruder is greeted with the words: "Marie, please remember Rule #6." Complete calm descends once more, and she too withdraws with a bow and an apology. When the scene is repeated for a third time, the visiting Prime Minister addresses his colleague: "My dear friend, I've seen many things in my life, but never anything as remarkable as this. Would you be willing to share with me the secret of Rule #6?" "Very simple," replies the resident Prime Minister. "Rule #6 is 'DON'T TAKE YOURSELF SO GODDAMN SERIOUSLY.'" "Ah," says his visitor, "That is a fine rule." After a moment of pondering, he inquires, "And what, may I ask, are the other rules?" He replies: "There aren't any."
This is the practice where you give up your pride, your fiercely-held opinions, the "shoulds", "oughts", "needs" and "musts" in your life, in order to MAKE YOUR WHOLE SELF AVAILABLE.
This is a life-long practice. The trip to the Netherlands is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to practice this one.
The conductor's version of Rule #6 is "Don't take YOURSELF so goddamn seriously, TAKE ME Goddamn seriously." Herbert von Karajan jumped into his limousine and shouted at the driver: "Quick, drive, go, go, go, drive, quick." "Very good sir, where to?" "Doesn't matter," snapped Karajan, "they need me everywhere!"
My daughter's version of Rule #6 is "Dad, get over yourself."
I will try to remember to get over myself on the trip. You all have permission to remind me if I forget. One cannot be a good coach unless one is coachable.
It is good to surround oneself with coaches. Hence the White Sheets! Be good coaches to your fellow musicians and always REMEMBER RULE #6!
This is the art of lighting a spark of Possibility such that others generate the possibility for themselves.
This is the main reason I love to go on tours with a youth orchestra. We get to enroll others in our way of seeing things and it often has a profound effect on their lives. I hear about it for years after. The stories of the effect we have had on others are legion and never cease to amaze and delight me. I know that the effect of our tour will be felt by the Dutch people for a long time to come and by us for the rest of our lives.
For me the Downward Spiral is: the sense that comes over me sometimes that we will never be able to make a difference. Is it worth all the effort?
Then I remember the story of the girl with the star-fish and I smile and go on dancing along the beach. Here is the story from the Art of Possibility:
Strolling along the edge of the sea, a man catches sight of a young girl down the beach who appears to be engaged in a ritual dance. She stoops down, then straightens to her full height, casting out her arm in an arc. Drawing close, he inquires into what she is doing. "I am throwing these starfish back into the sea." The man looks around and lightly mocks her: "There are starfish as far as the eye can see, for miles up the beach. What difference can saving a few of them possibly make?" Bending down once more she turns to him smiling, and as she tosses a starfish out over the water says serenely "It certainly makes a difference to this one."
Please join me in throwing starfish into the sea!
DISTINGUISH THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL: Listen for evidence of survival thinking – these will show up in opinions, comparisons, identities, warnings, predictions, and the use of the words: "you should," "you ought," "you need," and "you must." I don't know if you have noticed, but I rarely, if ever, use these words. It has taken a long process of practice to eliminate them from my vocabulary
As soon as you notice the Downward Spiral, you have stepped into the world of Possibility. The next step is to find a way of speaking that transforms the experience for others.
SPEAKING IN POSSIBILITY: There is one guaranteed way of speaking in possibility: precede what you have to say with a silent "I have a dream...." It will take you automatically into possibility. Try it out three or four times today and see what happens.
Try saying "What if....," "Imagine that....," "What would I like to see happen is...." Speaking in possibility is to tell a story that empowers all. What a glorious way of being on a trip across to the other side of the Atlantic with 131 other people.
Creating a Possibility for our work or our life that leaves no one out - that anyone could become enrolled in.
If you ask yourself the question "Why are we going on tour to the Netherlands?" you might come up with answers such as these:
To share what we have
To learn from them and each other
To give our music to others
To represent our country
To experience other countries and people
To experience their food, their art, their architecture
To have an adventure
To understand new people and cultures
To step outside our comfort zone
To get to know each other better
To get a better understanding of what an orchestra can be
To make a difference to people in the Netherlands
To learn to give great concerts.
You probably could come up with a few other reasons.
All of these things together make up a vision for the trip. A vision is something that encapsulates all the purposes and ideals that we carry for our lives. You can't accomplish them all. You can't say "Vision Accomplished!" In that sense it is different from a Mission. That you can accomplish. A VISION IS A POSSIBILITY TO LIVE INTO FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT LEAVES NOBODY OUT.
The way to clarify a vision is by coming up with a powerful phrase that encompasses the idea so that everybody involved can know it, grasp it and embody it. The vision of the Boston Philharmonic, our parent organization, is Passionate Music-making without Boundaries. That is a possibility to live into for all of us, and you notice that no one is left out. THAT is a necessary part of a vision – it is for everyone.
Our vision for the trip to the Netherlands could be BRINGING THE SONG OF POSSIBILITY. That could have been on our T-shirt
Here are a few additional practices:
When someone says something that doesn't enhance the situation:
Remember you don't have to get hooked on someone else's Downward Spiral "bait"
NOTICE YOUR LANGUAGE (body-language as well)
The Downward Spiral lives in our language. We can go into and out of the world of Possibility entirely with the words that we speak, even with a single shrug, grimace or smile. Let's help our audiences enter the world of possibility not only with our playing, but also with our body language. Look out into the audience and smile! Greet people with warmth and appreciation.
A woman I knew who was in Auschwitz during the war told me that when she went to Auschwitz she was 15 and her brother was 8.
Since the parents were nowhere (and never again) to be found, she was in charge. She noticed her brother had lost his shoes. "Why are so stupid, you idiotic child? Can't you keep your things together, for goodness sake?" she shouted. Normal, right? Except, unfortunately, it was the last thing she ever said to her brother, because she didn't see him again.
When she got out of Auschwitz she made a vow. She told me herself. She said, "When I got out of Auschwitz, I made a vow. I vowed that I would never say anything that couldn't stand as the last thing I ever say." Probably it's not possible to stick to that all the time, but it certainly is a possibility to live into!! Not a bad possibility to live into for our tour, wouldn't you say?
And remember what Roz says: POSSIBILITY IS ALWAYS ONLY ONE SENTENCE AWAY.
For safety, legal and other reasons, you have been asked to sign an agreement concerning your behavior on the trip. Fundamental to agreements of this kind is the assumption that if YOU break the agreement we will withdraw the privilege of the tour and send you home at your family's expense. That is a normal arrangement in all organizations and lives in the Downward Spiral of: "people cannot be trusted to behave responsibly unless they have a threat of some kind hanging over them." Most relationships between countries are based on that kind of formula.
In Possibility, it works quite differently. We trust that the value, purpose and pleasure of the trip and the musical demands made on you will draw you to behave responsibly and, of course, no one will be sent home. How can they be? We need every single one of you!
Does this mean that you can say: "Aha! We can break the rules, because no one will be sent home?"
No, it doesn't mean that at all. That comes from the world of the Downward Spiral.
Anyone who indulges in ANY kind of drug activity has forfeited his relationship with the BPO. No further word on this subject is needed. Make sure you are clear about this before we leave.
Since this is a mixed high-school aged and college youth orchestra we have decided that we will follow U.S. law. It doesn't matter if you drink at home or have permission from your parents to drink. On tour, students under 21 will not drink alcohol.
Out of courtesy and to simplify matters, college students of drinking age please do not drink alcohol in the presence of underage students. Moreover, since the demands of the tour schedule and the musical demands of this repertoire are so great it is probably wise for those over 21 to avoid drinking for the 11 days of the tour.
There are various other aspects of travel and living together that are pretty self-evident.
Considerateness, timeliness, courtesy, observing quiet at night, neatness and cleanliness, quiet attention in rehearsals, are all ways we can acknowledge each other. Grace and openheartedness are manifestations of Possibility, just as are shining eyes.
If someone goes off track and "breaks a rule," you can think of it as the whole group going off-track. You have my permission, indeed I request that you come to me and tell me about it.
In the Downward Spiral it is called snitching; in Possibility it is called taking responsibility for the whole - naming yourself as the source of the enterprise.
If there is a deviation from "the track" we will have a meeting to discuss it. The meeting will take place in possibility.
We could step into the role of being representatives of this country, bringing possibility, dignity, open-heartedness and passion to the people of the Netherlands, where there may be different assumptions about America. We will behave impeccably, not because otherwise we will be punished, but because our vision calls us to such behavior.
Stay Joyous. Stay Healthy. Help Dr. Sheckman with his task.
I am very excited about the tour - excited about the Netherlands, about you all, about the music making, the great conversations we will have and the connections we will make.
I know it will be an extraordinary opportunity for personal growth and development for all of us and for the Dutch too. I know that our eyes will be shining. And "I have a dream" that their eyes will be shining too.
I cannot wait.
Much love to you all
Ben Zander
masterclass Rotterdam
Thank you for all your inspiring words and ideas, and for the fact that you are so generous with them! My son and I enjoyed the masterclass in Rotterdam today very much. Warm compliments to the great kids who form such a wonderful orchestra. Hopefully, they will also and forever keep their passion for their music, and always see more possiblities than problems.
BPYO and Mahler 2
Yesterday I attended the BPYO-concert in Rotterdam and heard a very fine performance of Mahler's second symphony. I was surprised by the enthusiasm of the young musicians and by their skills. Thank you for an inspiring evening!

Read Frequently Asked Questions
Auditing Privacy Companies - Implementing Internal Controls
This training on data security will provide the tools to design and implement effective IT control structures and audit programs to help comply with the current data privacy and confidentiality regulations.
Product ID: 702724
Why Should You Attend:
With the growth of social media networking and use of computer systems in storing confidential data, non-compliance with privacy laws in various countries has led to record penalties. Management and auditors of organizations using cloud computing or other technologies to store confidential data/personal information of individuals have an obligation in terms of legislation to ensure the confidentiality as long as the data remains within their sphere of responsibility. Failure to do so can have major implications in terms of both reputational risk and even long-term survival of an organization. Internal audits play a vital role in ensuring corporate compliance and ongoing effectiveness of appropriate control structures.
This training will explain the methods to comply with current data privacy regulations. It will help the attendees in understanding and implementing an effective control structure and internal audit program within the organization. It will also discuss the auditor's role in evaluating privacy control structures and the use of continuous monitoring in order to comply with privacy legislation.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
This webinar will discuss the following topics:
- Current privacy legislation.
- Designing an effective control structure.
- The effect on risk of developments within information technology.
- The auditor's role in evaluating privacy control structures.
- Implementing an effective audit program.
- The use of continuous monitoring.
Who Will Benefit:
This webinar will be beneficial for the following personnel involved in the governance of organizations as required by national and international legislation:
- Internal Auditors
- External auditors
- Senior management
- Who assist the Board to demonstrate adequacy of governance procedures and internal control structures
Richard Cascarino, is the Principal of Richard Cascarino & Associates, a highly successful audit training and consultancy company based in Colorado and Johannesburg. He is a regular speaker at National and International conferences and has presented courses throughout Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the USA. Richard is a Past President of the Institute of Internal Auditors in South Africa and also a member of ISACA and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
Richard was a member of the Audit Committee of the Department of Public Enterprises in South Africa and chairman of the Audit Committee of Gauteng cluster 2 (Premier's office, Shared Services and Health). He is the author of the "Auditor's Guide to IT Auditing" and the newly released "Corporate Fraud and Internal Control: A Framework for Prevention" both published by Wiley Publishing which is also used by universities worldwide.
Topic Background:
With the explosion of computer systems holding information of a private/confidential nature, the design and implementation of control structures in order to achieve privacy objectives have become critical in limiting the opportunities for corporate losses due to lawsuits and loss of trust. Recent notable cases of loss of confidential data have not only been due to employee carelessness but also hacktivist attacks. A Ponemon Institute and Symantec study showed that in 2011, 37% of cases involving data breaches were due to malicious attacks. Around 1.1 million identities were exposed per data breach, according to the Internet Security Threat Report Volume 17 released by Symantec in April 2012.

KABUL, Afghanistan - With the niceties of Thanksgiving over, we can all once again ignite the healthy hatred that is the Iron Bowl rivalry.
Up until now, we almost forgot Auburn still has a football team (I realize that remains debatable, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt). The fans have been so silent and down-in-the-dumps over their miserable season that, beyond the smattering of displays on walls and windows, tiger pride has been a bit toothless.
But somebody somewhere has provided them with a milligram of hope. Hope, no matter how small, can be a dangerous thing in the hands of the desperate.
How else to you explain the desecration that has taken place in recent hours?
Places here at Camp Phoenix that have been rightfully sanctified with the crimson and white and the red, white and blue of winners have been defiled and stained by the blue and orange of the fans of the cow college apparently inebriated on false hope.
I have photographic evidence of this.
In my office, where the Crimson Tide is property dignified, a flag of prison orange and putrid blue was photographed covering my chair.
In the hallowed Bama shrine that is the office of Command Sgt. Maj. John Black, the same sickening colors were captured on film.
Even the sanctity of the office of our great leader, Lt. Col. J.R. Bass, was not properly respected and was similarly defiled.
Only our executive officer, Maj. Butch Beach, prevented a similar perversion of his office by refusing to trust these hope-fueled Barners and locking his office door.
It was all made worse by clashing those hideous colors with our own Old Glory, flying that disgraceful Auburn flag with the proud flag of our nation.
Sgt. First Class Sherman Prad is seen as the ringleader of the poor souls misguided by false hope. Others will, no doubt, be enticed by it between now and kickoff. Then the agony will slowly set in and all hope will disappear in what is sure to be one of the worst beat-downs in Iron Bowl history.
And the Crimson and White colors will prove their worth and fly victoriously not just in the dignified offices of the leadership of the Fourth Alabama, but in its rightful place with Old Glory - the two ultimate flags of winners flying together!
Until then, let them cling to their false hope. It will be made all the more sweeter to watch it get dashed.
As a footnote (because that's all they really deserve), Sgt. First Class Antonio Ratcliff continues his pointless attempt to try to make UAB seem relevant when it comes to college football. He has flown his green and gold colors and become butthurt when his team is not mentioned on this blog as often as the two primary teams in the state. He has even tried to get some recognition for the University of South Alabama Jaguars. (I know that some of your are probably thinking the same thing right now: "Who?" To which I answer, "Exactly.") It's bad enough that we have one UAB fan here (which, by the way, represents roughly 18 percent of UAB's entire fan base), but to try to bring USA into the mix when you're not talking about the "United States of America" is just another example of what false hope can do to a person.

125 years in Erie history: 1989 - Savocchio elected
FIRST ELECTED FEMALE MAYOR: Erie City Councilwoman Joyce Savocchio cruised to victory in the mayoral election, becoming the city's first new mayor in 24 years and the first woman elected to the office. Savocchio, a Democrat, handily defeated Republican Stanley Prazer. A longtime teacher and assistant principal, she entered the political scene when she broke the all-male ranks of City Council in 1982. Outlining the difficult tasks before the new mayor, an Erie Daily Times editorial declared, "If Savocchio has a defect, it's that she seems too reasonable in an unreasonable political world. But her low-key, pragmatic approach should gain public support." Savocchio's election came at the end of the 24-year political dynasty of Louis Tullio. Tullio, diagnosed with amyloidosis in 1987, was confined to his home in his final weeks in office. "I am glad she is my successor. I know she will serve this city to the best of her ability," Tullio said in the Morning News on Nov. 8. Patricia Liebel, one of Tullio's closest advisers, served as acting mayor from Nov. 12 to the end of Tullio's term.
ALSO IN 1989: With Tullio seriously ill, Gov. Robert Casey visited his house to sign documents committing the city and the state to clean up Presque Isle Bay within 20 years.

Myth: If You're Young, You're FertileMelanie Blodgett
Holly Finn is on a mission, a baby making mission. And it's not going too great. She is struggling with infertility and has tried numerous rounds of unsuccessful IVF. Holly is sharing her journey in a new book called The Baby Chase which is excerpted in this article from the Wall Street Journal.
I of course was attracted to the article to hear another women talk openly about infertility but while reading it I was reminded that no two persons struggle is the same. Holly is a women in her forties without a husband. In her book and interviews she focuses on the cause of her infertility, the age of her eggs and how that affects "65% of the female infertility " that her doctor sees. So while we're both infertile, we're pretty much opposites.
I was struck by this fact when later on in the article I read Holly refer to the scenario of having babies when you're in your twenties, "you'll probably have as many children as you'd like, and they'll be healthy." She goes on later to say, "The first thing I'd like to tell women ages 26 to 34 is: Start having babies. I know it's not polite or funny. But I don't want others to go through what I'm going through now." While I know she was simply generalizing, I want to bust this myth. Just because you're at the peak fertile age, that doesn't mean you'll easily get pregnant.
I'm 26. We started trying when I was 24. My husband just turned 29. Supposedly we're at the age where we should be reproducing like rabbits. But as you know, that is not the case. We are by far the youngest couple at our fertility clinic. While Holly does a good job at approaching the issue of female infertility past a certain age, please remember that it can happen to anyone no matter their age. And while you can say that it's easier for us because we have more time and the chances of fertility treatments working for us are higher, please remember that it's still difficult. No matter what your story is. You never want to be told that having children won't come easy.

Italy Pays For Sins of The Past
As fears mount that Italy could be sucked into the vortex of the euro-zone debt crisis, consider this: The country's public finances are among the strongest in the European Union.
Say what?
Italy is one of just five EU countries that are expected to run a primary surplus — meaning that, excluding debt interest payments, their income is greater than their spending — in 2011, according to the European Commission's spring economic forecast. Its primary surplus is expected to be 0.8% of gross domestic product, less than only Hungary and Sweden, and higher than the rest of the euro zone, including stalwarts such as Germany and Finland.
The figure shows that Italy's budget sins are largely in the past: interest payments on the country's mountain of debt, accumulated during years of lax budget policy, are expected to be 4.8% of GDP, the second-highest in the EU after Greece .
Forgetting the past, Italy is in fine shape.
So what, you might say. To quote William Faulkner: "The past is never dead. It's not even past. Italy's large current budget deficit is going to be a problem decades from now." (Okay, I may be misremembering part of this quote.) A deficit is a deficit, whether the cause is borrowing to fund current operations or borrowing to pay interest on existing debt.
Maybe so. But Italy's primary surplus shows that the government as currently configured can pay its own way, even during a time of weak economic growth. That's much more than can be said for Greece, Portugal, Ireland or even Spain, all of which are expected to run primary deficits this year.
Moderately higher growth and/or inflation — and some time — would help solve the country's historical debt burden. Italy is expected to pay a 4% rate on its outstanding debt this year; but annual nominal GDP growth hasn't broken 3% in five four years, and it averaged just 3.7% from 2001-2007.
Without more nominal GDP growth, Italian debt must rise. New measures pledged by the Italian government are aimed at raising the country's long-term growth rate. This might be a steep hill to climb: changing long-term growth rates is a notoriously difficult task that could take years.
Or the euro zone could intervene to drive down Italian yields below the country's 3% nominal GDP growth rate, putting Italian debt on a downward trajectory. That's what the European Central Bank is doing this morning through its bond purchases. But seven-year yields are at 5.02%, requiring a lot more buying from a reluctant ECB to get the job done.
Even if euro-zone governments significantly expand the size of their bailout fund, the European Financial Stability Facility, the lowest rate it can charge on loans is 3.5% — still above Italy's nominal GDP growth rate in recent years.
So higher growth rates, more inflation and time appear to be Italy's main hopes to atone for the budget sins of the past.
