Wyatt becomes two-time NFCA Golden Shoe Award winner
Sophomore OF becomes first in history of Arizona to receive prestigious national honor twice
Phoenix, Arizona – August 1, 2014 -- Phoenix College is proud to announce that for the second straight year, PC Softball Player Rebecca Wyatt has been named as the 2014 Golden Shoe Award winner by the National Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association (NFCA). Last year, Wyatt became not only the first Bears' Softball player in the 10-year history of the award to win it, but also just the 2ndsoftball player ever to represent the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference and NJCAA Region I in receiving the accolade. Today, she becomes the first-ever two-time winner in the history of the Grand Canyon State. The award will be officially presented during ceremonies at the NFCA's National Convention this coming December.
The NFCA Golden Shoe Award is an annual award that the NFCA presents to the top base stealer. There are a total of 10 different awards handed out each year, since the NFCA honors all three levels of the NCAA & NJCAA as well as the NAIA, COA (California's juco association) and the NWAACC (the association that governs two-year colleges in the Pacific Northwest). The recipients are determined by a national 10-person committee that is comprised of a head coach from each of the aforementioned 10 levels.
Ever since she took home the first award last winter, Wyatt has officially been the NJCAA's worst-kept base-stealing secret. Not that that fact mattered, since opposing catchers had even less success throwing Wyatt out in 2014 than they did during her freshman campaign. Ever since graduating from Independence High School in Glendale in the spring of 2012, Wyatt has done nothing but combine the main talents that she learned at IHS from the softball field, track (she ran the 100 & 200 meter dashes), and classroom and turn them into a historically successful athletic and academic brew. As a freshman for the Bears, Wyatt hit a blistering .481 from the leadoff spot (despite overhauling her entire hitting regimen over the summer to learn to hit as a lefthander instead of a righty), and when she got on base, it was automatic that she would advance at least one base with her feet. Her 65 stolen bases was nearly double the amount of the next closest base stealer in the ACCAC and 10 more than anyone else in the nation in NJCAA Division II in 2013.
With opposing coaches even more aware of her prowess in 2014, her closing act as a Bear was inexplicably even more impressive. Other teams' coaches, catchers and pitchers tried everything they could to prevent Wyatt from advancing on the basepaths, and all continued to fail miserably. With teammate Courtney Geith nipping at her heels all year along in the NJCAA Stolen Base race (they finished 1stand 2nd), Wyatt usurped her freshman campaign as she stole a whopping 72 bases as a sophomore, and upped her batting average to .494 (2nd-best in the ACCAC). Her 137 stolen bases easily place her atop a distinguished all-time career list of Bears' baserunners for the most of the program's history, and rank her as one of the most potent basestealers in NJCAA history. Her list of awards reflects that, since in addition to the two Golden Shoe Awards, Wyatt has been bestowed with such national accolades as NFCA All-American, NJCAA All-American and the 2014 NJCAA Marucci Softball Elite Hitters' Award in the last three months.
Now the outfielder sets her sights on the Cornhusker State as she joins four of her Bears' teammates at the University of Nebraska-Kearney for the next part of her collegiate journey, and her now ex-head coach doesn't envision anything from stopping Wyatt from breaking more records. "Rebecca is a quiet leader on our team," remarked Mueller. "She also has a 3.9 grade point average in the classroom, so she shows her versatility everywhere. I am very proud of Rebecca and what accomplishments she has achieved. Rebecca is an All-American-on and off the field-and is quite a special person."

Whether you're celebrating the Grand Old Flag or a Yankee Doodle Dandy born on the fourth of July, you'll find all the red, white and blue balloons you need to decorate a venue large or small at Shindigz. Make a big statement with a patriotic balloon drop. The star-shaped frame is a great feature for an Election Night victory party. Replace the 400 red, white and blue latex balloons with school colors to honor a team's outstanding season or to get academic stars pumped for state testing. A celestial balloon arch makes an impressive decoration for a stage or entrance. The great thing about both the arch and the balloon drop is that they're reusable. Schools and nonprofits will find out that they're a great way to stretch their decorating dollar by using the same structure with different color balloons in future years.
Balloons are a fantastically festive and affordable way to add color and fun to just about any event, from a birthday party to a business grand opening. You'll find a number of reasons to use red, white and blue balloons, turning to them for patriotic holidays or to welcome home the troops. Use them to spiff up a classroom for a mock election and a memorable civics lesson. At Shindigz you'll find a great collection of inexpensive Mylar star balloons in red, white and blue as well as other colors. We also carry a rainbow of latex balloons, many with star print patterns. We can be your go-to source for everything you need to decorate with balloons, including helium tanks, clips and weights to keep balloon bouquets in place and decorating ribbon in a range of colors.

CfA Masterclass "Regionalism, urbanity, and modernity in multi-ethnic and multi-cultural Eastern Europe in the 20th century", 26.-27. November 2013 (Giessen/Marburg)

Regionalism, urbanity, and modernity in multi-ethnic and multi-cultural
Eastern Europe in the 20th century
master class
26. – 27. November 2013
When Eastern Europe entered the era of "high modernity", it was politically still organized within imperial frameworks and in multicultural and -lingual contexts. Consequently, sub-imperial, i.e. regional, and urban entities often were being regarded as an antagonist category with respect to the Empire. Moreover, concepts of regional and urban identity were influenced by the nationalist movements, while concepts of regional and urban identity were of central importance to projects of imperial reform. The interwar period centralized "nationalizing" states. The re-organization of borderlines after 1918, and post WWII socialist régimes put a virtual end to constructs, concepts, and territorial entities that were based upon the region. Many regional entities which were of great importance to cultural identities even ceased to exist in the consequence of the World Wars (e.g. Galicia or Eastern Prussia). Thus, regionalisms in multi-ethnic Eastern European contexts are important political, social and cultural movements influencing modern(izing) societies. While the last decades, we could observe a re-emergence of regionalist movements, concepts, and reform ideas. Moreover, during the last three decades, we can speak of a renaissance of interest in historical regions.
In the paradigm of 20th century modernization, the process of urbanization is regarded as a central premise for the emergence, viability, and regeneration of modern societies, too. In the 20th century, we observe the emergence of new city types (like the Socialist City) and forms in the wake of system change and/or industrial diversification and specialization. Before and after 1945, we observe official attempts to integrate urban cultural plurality and to shape urban settings according to hegemonic patterns and values. Under socialist rule, such attempts include the creation of entirely new settings and state control over representations of urbanity. However, the latter proved to be only partly successful, as we can observe in the everyday and sub-cultural experience of socialist cities.
In our Master Class, we want to discuss concepts and experiences of, and within, regional and urban spaces. Keynote speakers will give an insight into recent research trends in the field. Participants (especially interested students and PhD-students) are welcome to present papers focusing on aspects of regional or urban history as well as on intellectual debates on regionalism, urbanity, and related political reform projects or on the recent experience of urban agglomerations, regional entities, and transnational regional movements.

Mother Nurture
Nearly Six Years After Gastric Bypass Helped Her Slim Down to Half Her Size, Carnie Wilson Is Big and Happy—and Expecting a Baby Girl in May
"It's a beautiful thing," she says now, happily rubbing her seven-months-pregnant tummy. "There is a beautiful baby growing in there." In May the couple will welcome a daughter, whom they are planning to call Lola Sofia. Now up 40 lbs., "I'm not freaking out anymore," says Wilson, 36. "I do feel ugly because I'm blown up, but also beautiful because I'm carrying this life inside me. Pregnancy is a whole new experience for me. Now I eat to be healthy—I don't feel like Gastric Bypass Girl." Still, her bypass surgery—which reduced her stomach to the size of a golf ball, forcing her to eat only small portions—played an important part in her decision to have a baby. Initially, she had concerns: If she was eating so little, would the baby get enough nutrients? Yes, her doctor told her, as long as she continued to take her cocktail of vitamins that she'd been instructed to take since her surgery. "If you get pregnant at three or four months after surgery, in that stage of rapid weight loss, then the baby might suffer. But Carnie is several years out of surgery, so her baby will get all its nutrients," says Wilson's gastric-bypass surgeon Dr. Alan Wittgrove, whom Wilson consulted about her pregnancy. "Actually, there is less risk of having a baby after gastric bypass than having a baby while you're morbidly obese. The gastric-bypass patient is pretty much a normal-risk patient." (See box.)
And like a normal mom-to-be, "I was eating all the time—food tastes so good when you're pregnant!" she says. "My body was saying, 'Bread! Cheese! Milk!' And I'd be snacking all day long. That's recommended for pregnant women, but not for a bypass patient. So I was doing something different from what I was used to, and that was scary." Eventually she settled back into eating in a way that was familiar: "Less carbs, more protein, drink my water, eat my vitamins. The only thing [different] is I'm eating dessert. I crave chocolate. I'll have a taste." She has since reined in the noshing too. "If you snack too much, the opening from your stomach can stretch, and the food doesn't stay in your stomach to keep you full," she explains. But her stomach will not get bigger, no matter how much she outwardly expands. "She doesn't have to have another gastric-bypass surgery, not at all," says Dr. Wittgrove. "Her stomach size should stay stable."
For the most part, she says, "it's been an easy pregnancy." Yes, she's had swollen fingers, wild dreams ("last night I dreamt my dog took acid") and lumberjack snoring. But on the plus side, she says, "Oh, and my libido has really been acting up the last three weeks!"
Wilson has been too exhausted to keep up her usual exercise routine of walking and weight training. "I'm moving all day long, but that's about it." But she's making plans to get back on track after Lola is born. She knows some people will be watching to see how long it takes her to return to her pre-baby size. Still, she says, "I'm not worried about losing the weight." There's a crib in her home gym, so Lola can snooze during Mom's workouts. "I have a trainer who will come four days a week. I'm going to take this very seriously." For now, though, it's all about Lola. "We have headphones that we put on Carnie's belly, and we let Lola listen to music," says Bonfiglio, 37. Says Wilson: "She loves Sinatra. She starts kicking as soon as we put Frank Sinatra on, like she's dancing inside. We give her a taste of everything: Beethoven, Donna Summer, Sade, our favorite Beach Boys album, Friends. We play Wilson Phillips for her too."
Wilson's bandmates—her sister Wendy, 35, and Chynna Phillips, 37—have provided more than just a soundtrack for the pregnancy; both had babies in the past six months and are on Carnie's speed dial. "She calls me a couple of times a day to ask me little questions," says Wendy. " 'Did you ever get heat in your legs?' or 'Did you ever feel no kicking for a certain amount of time?' I love being there to make her feel at ease. It's been a great experience for us as sisters. I'm so excited our kids will grow up together."
It has been a bonding experience for Carnie and her parents too. Dad Brian, says Carnie, can't wait for the baby. And she and her mom, Marilyn (who was divorced from the former Beach Boy in 1979), "love to buy clothes for Lola," says Bonfiglio. Among Marilyn's other key purchases: a Bugaboo Frog stroller and an advice book by TVs Supernanny. Already in Lola's closet are some 10 dresses and 15 pairs of shoes, including tiny pink Ugg boots. That's just the beginning. Says Wilson: "I'm going to have three baby showers!"
Luckily the couple have made room for all the baby booty in Lola's just-completed nursery, where Wilson spends many evenings in a rocking chair, knitting baby blankets and reading stacks of parenting books. Her work also has taken a homier turn: She has written a cookbook, due out in September, called To Serve with Love, which includes both skinny salads and rich mac and cheese. It is pointedly not a post-bypass diet book. "I understand that I'm a role model," she says. "And that's great. But sometimes I just want to be me, Carnie, being pregnant. People look at me now and look at my stomach, and they smile. It's amazing."

At his arraignment, Jason "Blu" Griffith, 32, calmly answered "yes" when Judge Chris Lee asked if he understood the charges against him – murder, domestic violence and destruction of evidence in the death of Debbie Flores Narvaez.
Celeste Flores Narvaez, the victim's sister who made several high-profile pleas during the nearly month-long search for any sign of Debbie, was present in the courtroom, never taking her eyes off of Griffith before yelling at him from her seat.
"I hope you [expletive] rot in hell for what you did to her. I hope you rot in hell," she shouted before leaving the courtroom in tears.
The court hearing marked the first time Griffith has been seen since being arrested last weekend for his alleged involvement in the death of the Las Vegas stage dancer, 31, whose body was found dismembered in cement-filled tubs.
The official cause of death was by way of strangulation, according to an autopsy report. A preliminary hearing was set for Feb. 15.

Technically French isn't a foreign language for Docm30 (I don't know how much he knows), but your point is still valid.
The French government AND military wanted to change the uniform to something more suitable following the increasing ranges of weapons and battlefield visibility in the closing years of the 19th century, but they couldn't seem to find a style that they liked (those trialled always seemed to be too much like the uniform of another nation, usually Germany or Italy). The people, however, wanted the uniforms to remain unchanged, claiming that they were a symbol of France... Of course, in this debate with the government the army had no power and the people were eventually victorious. However, the government decided to compromise: the uniform would be replaced with fabric made from a blend of blue, white and red dyes (blue being the most prevalent and red the least), this change when they discovered the red the wanted was only produced in Germany. This resulted in the removal of red and the readjustment of the percentages of the other colours, resulting in horizon-blue, introduced in 1915. During both 1914 and the period in 1915 when HB had not been introduced (or when the full uniform hadn't been issued) many quick fixes were introduced, such as dark coloured over-trousers and dark trousers made from a variety of fabrics, such as corduroy. Dark kepi covers were also seen.
The deaths resulting from the bright uniforms were a steep price to pay for a "symbolic" uniform...
I've seen and touched one of the Marne taxis... I felt a little dirty when I did...
Yours look spot on!
Dear God...
I would be more than happy to take stab at making any of those maps, Sturm (especially if you're providing resources. I've been trying forever to recreate FH2 maps in MoW... That's hard, given you need to run Battlefield in the background to make sure it's perfect...)!
Lookin' good! Keep it up, lads!
I'm sorry to hear that, Sturm. I hope your new PSU comes soon! I know the mod will be perfect regardless!
Is it just me or are the French uniforms in this mod incorrect?
Do you mean to say that the closed beta, which was supposedly released last week, is in fact not released?
"Poor Johnny's heart went pitty pitty pat somewhere in sunny France.."
Simply amazing.
I still love the story about the quadriga. Rather hilarious, I might say.
Thanks a lot, guys, now I have to change my pants!
Keep up the excellent work, lads!
Hell yeah!
Thanks for the reply! I'll go back to waiting for the release now!
I'm rather sure this question hasn't been asked before:
Will the missions featured in this mod see the player controlling large forces or will the be focused on smaller groups of user controlled units? I only ask because I feel that certain features (8 men per group, in-depth inventory, etc.) lend Men of War more easily to squad-based missions.
Regardless, keep up the great work, lads! It'll be wonderful!
After playing this mod I will be able to die a happy man.
Sounds pretty cool!
Sounds great!
Is this ever going to be released?
I really do hope that updates for the vanilla MoW won't halt COMPLETELY after the release (Have I said this already?). Even if they were released far less commonly than the Assault Squad updates I would still be an extremely satisfied and jovial young man.
Keep it up, Sturm. We all know that your mod will be absolutley magnificent!
Perfect. Just perfect.
Its been rather quite for a while...
Any chance for some updates, Sturm?
CHILDREN! Stop your bickering! This is arguably the most inane discussion (if I can go so far as to call it that) I have ever seen on Mod DB. Congratulations.
Now, let us settle our disputes and return to salivating over the greatness that is this mod, regardless as to it's status.
My impatience is taking over! Must resist urge to sacrifice livestock to the Mod Gods!
Its nice to see some new screen shots! I really hope this mod stays alive!
Whilst I agree that Canada should be included to some extent, the US didn't do anything for the majority of the war.
This is an Age of Empires 3 clone. And a VERY good one. I've enjoyed every moment I've played of 0 A.D. thus far (besides the crazy lag, of course) and I look forward to the future of this promising title!
This just keeps getting better and better! Huzzah!

Tasting Notes
Colour: intense ruby red, clear.Bouquet: There are floral sensations of fresh sweet violets, maraschino cherry jam and a hint of vanilla.Taste: Dry to the taste, smooth and full, with marked tannin, well-rounded; the freshness is measured but firm, excellence persistence on the nose.
Wine Maker Notes
Produced according to the most traditional Chianti Classico fermentation processes on the skins, in temperature-controlled tanks at a temperature of 28°C. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally in steel tanks. The wine is bottled a year after harvest, after several (5/7) months ageing in medium and large capacity French oak casks – from 15 to 50 hectolitres.The moderate use of the wood, the choice of large casks, according to the most classical method, allows the wine to preserve the most natural characteristics of the Sangiovese grape, bringing them into harmony: fruitiness, freshness and the level of tannin.
Food Pairing
Ideal for first courses in thick, heavy sauces, with meat stuffing, mushroom risotto, spicy red meats, Tuscan Arista of pig, wild mushroom fricassee, truffled or semi-seasoned hard cheeses.

Laszlo Tokes, the Pastor Who Helped to Free Romania, Is Home
There is no small symbolism here: This crowd of about 3,000 has gathered to see and hear a latter-day dragon slayer, the Protestant minister Laszlo Tökes, 37, who lit the spark that ignited the revolution that at last brought down Nicolae Ceausescu, Romania's monstrous dictator. Now, on this Jan. 21, Tökes is returning to his hometown a national hero to deliver his first sermon since being banished from preaching several years ago. As he sweeps up the aisle, guarded by soldiers against possible reprisals from old enemies, there are sighs and tears. Women reach out to touch his robe. For his text, he has chosen Isaiah, 62:4.
"Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken," the minister intones slowly, in a deep, booming voice. "Neither shall thy land anymore be termed Desolate." The congregation nods in rapt assent. Now, he is telling them, our lives are no longer without hope. Now the dragon is dead and a new beginning has been made.
The revolution that ended Romania's tyranny can be said to have been born last fall when government and church leaders tried to evict Tökes from his pulpit at the Hungarian Reformed church in Timisoara. Tökes had proved to be a gadfly to both the church and the state and, for that very reason, a friend of his people. He refused to be moved despite persecution. In September he was attacked by four masked thugs who broke into his home. The pastor, his wife, Edith, 28, and two friends battled back with chairs, bottles and whatever else they could find; Tökes was slashed across the brow with a knife, but they drove off their attackers, who, if not members of the secret police, were surely acting with their approval.
Three months later police came to deport him to the little village of Mineu. Tökes fled to his church—and there had an experience he calls "a turning point in my life. I came out of the church and saw that my parishioners had formed a human chain around it." Then the minister took a closer look and saw something even more remarkable in a country where ethnic and religious divisions are rife. "These were not only my parishioners, with a few Baptists and Adventists," says Tökes, an ethnic Hungarian, "but Orthodox priests and some of their Romanian flocks. I was very moved, and it changed what I now see as my old prejudices—that we cannot make common cause, cannot fight side by side. Now that I have seen Romanians, Germans, Catholics and Orthodox defending me, I know that I have to work for reconciliation between the nationalities and creeds in this country."
After a short-lived resistance, Tökes was finally led away, and that afternoon, Dec. 17, the people of Timisoara assembled in the main square to protest. Ceausescu ordered the army to shoot into the crowd. Several thousand died and were thrown into shallow, mass graves. The first martyrs had perished, and the revolution had begun.
Tökes and his wife were taken to Mineu and put under house arrest. Although the Securitate interrogated him mercilessly, "They didn't torture me," he says. "They wanted me to appear on TV and confess my sins during a show trial. My wife and I were to admit we were agents of Western capitalism." By luck, they found a small radio in the house and kept abreast of the news. "When we heard that Ceausescu had been arrested, it was the happiest hour of our lives," says Tökes. "We knew we had escaped death." The dictator and his wife were executed three days later.
"Just think," says Tökes's father, Istvan, also a minister in the Hungarian Reformed Church. "If those stupid bishops had not insisted upon exiling my son, Ceausescu might still be alive today."
On the afternoon before his sermon in Cluj, Tökes went to visit his parents in their small apartment behind 37 Boulevard Lenin. In the kitchen there is a collection of Hungarian wine jugs with delicate, floral designs. On the table was a thin soup with an infinitesimal amount of meat, more a seasoning than part of the meal. With his mother, Elizabeth, 66, and Istvan, 68, sitting beside him, Tökes explained how he came to be a dissident minister. "The education I had in my family was to resist Satan and stand up to injustice," said Tökes, who was raised with seven brothers and sisters. "Our church has an ancient revolutionary tradition: We think to protest is the very essence of the word Protestant."
Tökes's protests at first seemed mild enough. In his first parish in Brasov, he asked his bishop for Hungarian Bibles, song books and religious literature for his younger parishioners. Under Ceausescu, however, that was dissent. To create uniform loyalty among Romania's various ethnic groups, including 2 million Hungarians and 200,000 Germans, the dictator was waging what his enemies came to call "cultural genocide." Ceausescu's plan called for shutting all ethnic schools, seizing all historical archives, razing thousands of peasant villages and moving the residents into look-alike high-rise apartments. "The church hierarchy told Laszlo not to meddle," recalls Istvan. Tökes was transferred to Dej, and there more serious trouble began: He defiantly mixed Bible study with Hungarian folklore and was suspended. "From 1984 to 1986 he lived in my house," says Istvan, "an unemployed minister."
One of the bishops finally relented and made Tökes a chaplain at Timisoara in 1986. But when the old minister of the church died shortly after and the congregation asked that Tökes be his successor, the church, the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Securitate collectively tried to evict him. When Tökes refused to budge, he was denied a ration book, leaving him unable to buy bread or meat or fuel. Parishioners who tried to bring him supplies were stopped. He was barred from seeing relatives. The most Kafkaesque harassment involved the turning off of his phone. Periodically, when service would be restored, Tökes would receive death threats; then he would be billed for the calls—at long distance rates. And then the police came for him.
Much has changed in Cluj since the fall of Ceausescu. Crates of oranges, once unknown delicacies, have arrived, a gift from Italy. The houses are a bit warmer now, and more than one bulb may be lit at night.
But still there is hardship: The monthly food ration includes only a pound of meat, two pounds of sugar and 100 grams of butter per person. And, still, there is fear. There are rumors that the army will mount a countercoup any day. The people of Cluj will tell you that "the boys from the Securitate are still walking the streets." Tökes still gets death threats, wears a bulletproof vest even under his cassock and has been given around-the-clock guards by the new government.
Yet there is hope too. Tökes may soon be allowed to return to his church in Timisoara. In Cluj he was able to speak to seminary students, who expressed their enthusiasm Central European-style by rapping their knuckles on their wooden benches with such energy that it seemed a miracle the ancient benches didn't split. And he visited Cluj's noted poet Doina Cornea, an ardent nationalist who was imprisoned under Ceausescu. "United, we could solve many problems," he said afterwards. "Meeting Mrs. Cornea was very important."
"My present situation, deserved or not, is quite symbolic," Tökes says thoughtfully, sitting in his parents' kitchen. "Now I feel free, without hierarchy or denomination. There are so many things I have to do. There are political problems to solve, the church to organize should they ask me to become bishop, trips abroad." Will his pulpit be as political as this suggests? he is asked, and he smiles. "The mixture does not bother me," Tökes says. "I believe politics is everywhere, in all aspects of life as well as in the teachings of Christ. It's nothing but caring about public matters, caring what you want your society to be like."

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a voluntary recall of about 800,000 State Farm Good Neigh Bears because the eyes can come off, posing a choking hazard to small children.
State Farm received one report of the plastic eye of a bear coming off and a child placing it in her mouth. She was not injured.
The bears are brown and wear white and red State Farm shirts. They were given away free through State Farm agents and at State Farm-sponsored events from September 2005 through March 2007.
Consumers should immediately take these bears away from young children and discard them.
For additional information, contact State Farm toll-free at (877) 226-8079 Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. CT or visit the company's Web site.

Mission vs Ambition
"The very essence of leadership is that you have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet." Hesburg
Our vision in life defines the quality and direction of your thoughts. If our vision in life is to be successful, every action will be directed from the need to be successful. Similarly, if our vision in life is being happy and peaceful, the quality of our thoughts will be governed by this need. Based on our circumstances and desires, we all have a different vision for our life. The vision for life often changes with stages of life. In the early years, we are driven by fun and learning and gradually, this changes to ambition and success.
Mother Teresa at a tender age of 12 years, took a vow to commit herself to a religious life. Having established a higher ideal for her life at such an early age, all her actions from thereon gravitated towards learning the order of the nuns and the language of the mission.
Mahatma Gandhi, a great leader and visionary, committed his life to India's freedom from the British rule. Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Muhammud Yunus, APJ Kalam, and many more, have significantly impacted society and created national wealth.
What is it that distinguishes these leaders from others?
These leaders were fueled by a desire to make a difference; a desire to contribute; a desire to commit to a higher ideal; a passion to pursue a cause for the larger good; motivation to be significant. Success or personal gain was not their defining value. Their contribution to humanity remains timeless.
Today, the values of society have changed. The mantra for success is – money, wealth, power and recognition. The vision is limited to personal success, personal gain, personal glory and personal status.
"Try not to become a man of success but a man of value." Albert Einstein.
Business houses are established by the commitment and perseverance of a visionary leader. These leaders see a need in the society and take the leap of faith to build industry. Gradually, most business houses become fragmented and get divided into smaller parts to meet the needs of growing families and a desire for personal profit and independence. We see this theme enacted in TV serials in different formats – ghar ghar ke kahani. Similarly, politicians are elected to govern and grow the country into a prosperous nation. However, personal agendas of power and wealth acquisition result in scam after scam.
What is our vision today – personal gain or contribution to national wealth?
I recall that during the early years of my career, I was driven by the ambition of growing rapidly in the organization. I worked long hours, aggressively and furiously. I was motivated each morning by the desire to prove myself and grow faster than any other. I experienced an adrenaline rush. My efforts benefit the organization because I took pride in my work but my vision was limited to personal success over organizational benefit.
The stress and agitation of the competitive environment triggered a desire to seek work that would give me freedom. When I was working in India after being overseas for nearly 10 years, I observed a gap in the market in the area of people's development. Whilst attending a course on people management, I was introduced to coaching and the journey began. I had discovered my purpose of life – to work as coach and share knowledge. My ambition to be an entrepreneur soon converted into a mission to empower people to grow into leaders of their life.
Today, I derive immense satisfaction with every assignment, work has become effortless and the personal growth and evolution that I have experienced is immeasurable. I truly attribute this enrichment to the change, clarity and expansion in vision. Am I still ambitious, yes but the ambition is to grow internally such that I can fulfill my mission. Stress creeps in when I digress from my mission and start being ambitious and feeling insecure and incomplete.
I believe ambition is limited and exclusive in scope. It is filled with fear of rejection, fear of performance, need for wealth and recognition, need to control the outcome. Such success is temporary and ridden with stress. A mission is wider and inclusive. Mission is inspired by a higher ideal and free from the tangles of external pressures. Life becomes more process oriented versus result oriented. To help another or to work for a mission, one needs to be in control of oneself because life changes from being about you to being about others.
Andre Agassi has candidly revealed in his autobiography, 'Open' that he hated tennis and played it to fulfill his father's ambition. Although he was exceptionally talented, his goal was misplaced and it exerted tremendous stress on him.
Sachin Tendulkar, a master cricketer, plays for the joy of the sport and is a source of inspiration for his team as well as the country. However, after scoring 99 centuries, the pressure to score the 100th began. Till he played for the team and joy of the sport, he was able to play effortlessly. As soon as he was focused on achieving a personal target, he was saddled with expectations and stress and the 100th century eluded him for a while.
Amitabh Bachchan is known as director's actor. Every director admires how Mr Bachchan adapts seamlessly and surrenders to the script and design of the director, the visionary rather than questioning and influencing it. He focuses on what he does best – being an actor. The ability to be humble and surrender to a script is what makes him a legend.
That is life – we are all actors born to enact our role. We are gifted with a skill and life becomes meaningful when we work in alignment with that skill. When we are born, we are unaware of our own potential -- will we grow to be a tree or a bush? We are born for to serve, fulfill our mission. Be courageous to surrender to the script written by the director, Our Creator and live a life of fulfillment and success.
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages." William Shakespeare

Keep up the good work.
The examples you have quoted of people driven by a vision, as against those without explain perfectly the need for a personal vision and mission! Agassi vs Sachin and then again the pressure on Sachin to deliver his 100th century are apt. We look forward to more such articles from you

"Dogtown looks like a cross between Easter Island and Stonehenge – essentially druidic in its appearance – it gives the feeling that an ancient race might turn up at any moment and renew an ageless rite there. Dogtown is therefore not the ground for sketch artists and that is why they never go there – much too eternal looking for the common eye."
So wrote artist/poet Marsden Hartley of the strange 3,600 acres of woods, moor, boulder fields and abandoned 18th century cellar holes in Gloucester, Massachusetts known as Dogtown in his autobiography Somehow a Past.
Marsden Hartley was born in Lewiston, Maine, in 1877 and died in Ellsworth, Maine, in 1943. A sad, restless man, he spent much of his life wandering the world in search of inspiration and rest. He had been living and traveling in Europe before he settled down for a few months in 1931 in Gloucester to draw and paint the haunting, primal Dogtown landscape that had resonated with his metaphysical soul when he first saw it in 1920. Hartley would spend July through December of 1931 in Gloucester and return to Dogtown again in the summer of 1934 before wandering off to Nova Scotia and back to Maine.
Marsden Hartley: Soliloquy in Dogtown at the Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester (through October 14) gathers 13 oil paintings and a dozen drawings Hartley did of Dogtown on his various visits. The title of the exhibition is taken from a poem Hartley wrote in 1931 and is the same title used for a similar exhibition back in 1985.
Dogtown, in the Gloucester-Rockport interior of Cape Ann, was a colonial settlement of some 100 families that was abandoned over time, the last inhabitant being hauled off to the poorhouse in 1830. Regarded as the province of vagabonds, prostitutes, witches and feral dogs, Dogtown is just the sort of place that fires the artist's imagination. Not only did Hartley created several series of works inspired by the barren landscape, Dogtown is also the imaginative setting of much of poet Charles Olson's epic three-volume Maximus Poems, (some of which he wrote sitting on a tree stump in Dogtown) and that of Anita Diamant's 2005 novel The Last Days of Dogtown.
Hartley's interpretation of Dogtown runs toward the Expressionist take on regionalism that defined his later work, the heaviness of both the Expressionist style and palette and of the Dogtown erratics worked out in bold, black outline. His drawings sketch the scruffy contours of the twisted and torqued landscape with particular attention to local landmarks such as the Whale's Jaw, a split pair of boulders that resemble the maw of a leviathan.
Hartley scholar Gail R. Scott summed up the seminal importance of the Dogtown landscape to Hartley's later work very nicely in her 1988 Marsden Hartley.
"At Dogtown," Scott wrote, "he learned that New England was not necessarily mountains and trees, tourists and Yankee tradesmen; he also learned that place is not a static mental or perceptual construct converted to paint and canvas. Place is the vehicle by which the artist moves out from his own creative center to discern the universal truths of man and his environment."
The late work that proved to be Hartley's most original and personal, evocations of the peoples, places and things of Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, and Corea, Maine, spring straight out of the shallow soil of Dogtown.
The Cape Ann Museum has a full schedule of programs and events surrounding the Hartley in Dogtown show. This is a New England must this summer.

A freezing rain advisory is in effect for our area Wednesday morning.
Generally light rain is expected to arrive Wednesday morning. Surface temperatures overnight Tuesday will easily drop into the low 20s. If the rain arrives early enough, the rain would freeze on some surfaces, especially those that are untreated, resulting in icy conditions.
If the rain holds off until 10 a.m. or 11 a.m., when the surface temperatures are expected to rise to or above 32 degrees, then the risk of freezing rain will be greatly diminished.
So, timing of the arrival will be key. The earlier it arrives, the greater the risk for a period of freezing rain Wednesday morning.
High temperatures on Wednesday should reach the upper 30s.
Thursday looks quiet with mostly cloudy skies and highs in the middle 40s.
There can be areas of fog the next couple of days, as well.
Some additional rain and dense fog are likely Thursday night and Friday.

If you have a sleep disorder, your physician may schedule you for a
diagnostic, all-night sleep recording, or polysomnography (PSG), at the Sleep
Medicine Center at Bryn Mawr Hospital. Spending the night in
the sleep laboratory is an interesting experience. Following are some
frequently asked questions with answers.
A technologist will greet you and show you to your sleep room. You will
be asked to change into your pajamas or whatever you wear to sleep.
Often you will be left to watch TV, read, talk on the phone or perform
other typical evening activities for 15 to 30 minutes. This is done to
give you time to get used to your new surroundings. A technologist will
then either come to your room or have you come to a separate room to
apply various sensors and electrodes for the sleep study. These are
attached with tape or glue (no needles).
A sleep study is similar to an electroencephalogram (EEG) or electrocardiogram
(ECG) study but makes 10 to 16 different measurements of your brain and
body during the entire time you are asleep.
All electrodes and sensors are attached so that they should not come off
during sleep. You should be able to sleep as you do at home and turn
over as usual. If you feel you cannot sleep normally because of the
electrodes, please call the sleep technologist to help you. Also, if an
electrode or sensor does come off, the technologist on duty will simply
replace it.
Prepare for your night in the sleep laboratory as if you were going to
spend a night in a hotel. Please bring with you everything you would
need to spend a night away from home. This should include your
medications, pajamas, toothbrush, toiletries, books to read, etc. If you
wish, you may bring your own pillow. We want your stay to be as similar
to sleeping at home as possible, but please do not bring family,
friends, pets, musical instruments or alcoholic beverages.
Most male patients prefer to use a urinal at the bedside that we will
provide. Both male and female patients who want to use the bathroom
facilities may do so, but they must call in the technologist to
temporarily detach the electrodes. All electrodes and sensors are
"plugged" into a detachable box. The box is simply detached and the
patient is able to go—electrodes and all—to the bathroom. This is an
easy process and can be done in a few seconds.
We prefer that patients sleep during the same hours as they do at home.
Our staff will discuss this with you and schedule your sleep study
accordingly. Most patients are not permitted to sleep any later than
7:00 am, unless prior arrangements have been made.
No, this might change your sleep and prevent us from identifying the
source of your sleep problem. However, you may take whatever medication
you usually take before bedtime, unless otherwise discussed with the
medical staff. Just be sure to tell the technologist what you are
To make an appointment, call the Sleep Medicine Center at Bryn Mawr
Hospital at 484.337.3300. We serve patients of all ages from all over
the Philadelphia area.

Disagg workshop
May 28, 2010
Stanford, CA
Most agree that better data into home energy usage is an imperative to tame growing demand. Disaggregation potentially offers a low-cost, scalable solution. However, research, technology, and policy barriers may prohibit, or at best delay, the most promising solution(s). This workshop focused on identifying and addressing needs in order to bring the technology to fruition as quickly as possible. This was a "working" meeting so that each session began with a short presentation followed by facilitated discussion to collaboratively develop answers.

A p-n junction is a junction formed by combining P-type and N-type semiconductors together in very close contact.The most common type of solar cell is basically a large p-n junction; the free carrier pairs created by light energy are separated by the junction and contribute to current. A common type of transistor, the bipolar junction transistor, consists of two p-n junctions in series, for example in the form n-p-n; no current can flow through it unless a separate small voltage is applied to the middle layer'

Q: Why do ferrets like to lick bars of soap?
A: I have never had a ferret show interest in a bar of soap, but I don't let my ferrets around things they shouldn't be eating or ingesting. I can only guess that something about the soap tastes good to your ferret. This isn't safe and you should make sure that your ferret can't get to any soap to lick.

When possible I like to leave my ears uncovered so that I can hear, but if I start to get cold I don't hesitate to cover my head.
When the weather is warm I just wear a camouflage baseball style cap. I use the bill to shade my eyes and to try to hide my face from deer. I also like to try to shade my glasses to keep the sun from shining off of them.
In wet weather I have a waterproof cap that also has ear flaps for when it gets cold. I'm sure I look funny but I'm warm and dry.
When the weather turns cold, other than the baseball style hats that I always wear, I either use the hood on a hooded sweatshirt or when it is bitter cold I have a balaclava. I always wear a baseball style cap even if I have a hood on or the balaclava. My new Rocky coat has a hood on it. I'll probably get use out of that when it gets cold. The hood and balaclava take the place of the scarf that your Mom always tried to get you to wear.

The first path is the heritage trail – with "legacy" technology forming the background. Here, extant technologies are transformed by core IT teams to provide more API-driven approaches.

Just over a week ago I received a long and loud sustained applause for a presentation I delivered at this year's Cloud Expo in Santa Clara. I was extremely pleased with the turnout and had some very good conversations with many of the attendees. Over the next few days I had many more meaningful conversations and was not only happy with the results but also learned a few new things. Here is everything I learned in those three days distilled into three short points.

ICS is an update from Gingerbread which was the older firmware. You stuff like unlocking your phone with your face, holding the home button and being able to go on existing apps, task manager or closing certain apps that way through swiping the screen. It looks a bit better as well and maybe theres a few small changes on top of that as well.
I HAVE to have the Watsapp and Facebook apps, Twitter, Juice Defender, Torch and everything is just extra.

SwiftKey 3 is good. It replaces the stock keyboard. There's a 30 day trial for it so u can test it out if u like it or not. I bought it on my first day.
Try out either Nova, Go, or Apex launcher.
I use Nova but the others are good and it's personal preference. It replaces touchwiz do you can add or take out as many pages u want, dock scroll, scrolling effects, resize icons, touch effects, and other sh*t.
I highly recommend it.
To make you phone load faster through different apps when hitting he home button go to S voice and uncheck "Launch S Voice" which is the setting to launch a voice by hitting the home key twice.
Then go to system settings>developer option>and go into Window and transition animation scale and put them both to ".5x"
Your phone should now launch windows and other sh*t as fast as possible now. By default it should be at like "1x" but ".5x" is the fastest.
Widget locker is nice to change you lock screen as well.

Check out Barrel. That tweak is cool. It's basically an animation of your apps when you switch between home screen pages. I have it on my iPhone but I saw a video that shows you how to get it on a droid.
Looks laggy as fuck on his phone but his phone looks kind of old. Nothing super special, just a cool little tweak.

If you do any running then Endomondo is a great app, I use it all the time. But basically for almost anything you require, there will be an app for it, just have a look. For example, I always used to borrow my brother's guitar tuner - had a look on Google Play and found an app that turns your phone into a guitar tuner which is useful.

This semester the department will be the host for an important talk and discussion about diversity in the workplace and in higher education. On January 23, Millsaps will welcome guest speaker Dr. David Embrick, an associate professor in the Sociology Department at Loyola University - Chicago, for a talked entitled, "Multiculturalism, Diversity & Inclusiveness: Examining Diversity Ideology in the Post-Civil Rights Era."
The talk will focus on the relationship between diversity ideology and corporations and institutions. It will examine that U.S. institutions, including those of education and higher education,are increasingly redefining diversity in a way that ignores or downplays persistent issues of racial or gender bias in the workplace and institutions of higher education. Dr. Embrick will argue that diversity ideology has allowed many corporations and institutions to appear progressive in terms of advocating for inclusiveness, yet continue to maintain the status quo. The conclusion from his research findings indicate that popular concepts and actions, such as affirmative action and the establishment of diversity offices has enabled many institutions to evoke new rhetoric that may be far more dangerous than colorblind racism.
We are honored to have Dr. Embrick as a visitor to campus. Dr. Embrick has been published in a number of journals including Sociological Forum, The Journal of Symbolic Interaction, Race and Society, Sex Roles, Critical Sociology and the Journal of Intergroup Relations and is the author of three books. He is also currently finishing three book projects due to come out between 2013 and 2014. He is a former American Sociological Association Minority Fellow. He is the past-chair of the American Sociological Association's Section on Race and Ethnic Minorities and currently the secretary/treasurer of the American Sociological Association's Sociology of Latino/as Section. He is also the current Chair of the Society for the Study of Social Problem's Racial/Ethnic Minorities Division, as well as the Vice-President of Publications for the Association of Humanist Sociology and the Vice-President of the Southwestern Sociological Association.
The topic and presentation promise to be informative and thought provoking. Dr. Embrick's talk will be held in Murrah Hall 207 at 6:30 p.m. It is open to the public. All are welcome.

Hands-on with the Dell Venue 8 7000 tablet
We had some extensive hands on time with the Dell Venue 8 7000 tablet at Dell's launch event yesterday. As the world's thinnest 8-inch Android tablet, it still packs a lot of interesting capabilities, so here's a more detailed look at it.
Hands-on: Nokia N1
Announced in November last year, but currently only available in China, MWC 2015 is our first chance to get a closer look at Nokia's return to the device market: the 7.9-inch N1 tablet.
ASUS MeMO Pad 8 (ME581CL) - Compact and Speedy Intel Tablet
ASUS is taking the 8-inch tablet segment seriously with its MeMO Pad 8, which is powered by the latest Intel Atom 64-bit "Moorefield" processor and Android 4.4 KitKat. With the entry of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, is there still space for the ASUS MeMO Pad 8? We find out in this review.

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact LTE: An 8-inch tablet better than the iPad Mini and Tab S? We think so
Sony's Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is the company's first foray into the 8-inch tablet category. It boasts a razer-thin design that is completely dust and waterproof, while still packing a punch with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, Full HD display and front-facing stereo speakers. It's also the only tablet you can play Destiny and Titanfall on (with a little help from your Playstation 4).

Master,Teacher of wisdom, Bestower of virtue, you teach the thoughtless and protect the poor:
Strengthen and enlighten my heart. Word of the Father, let me not restrain my mouth from crying to you:
Have mercy on me, a transgressor, O merciful Lord!
As we begin the Great Fast, the Church reminds us of Adam's expulsion from Paradise. God commanded Adam to fast (Gen. 2:16), but he did not obey. Because of their disobedience, Adam and Eve were cast out of Eden and lost the life of blessedness, knowledge of God, and communion with Him, for which they were created. Both they and their descendents became heirs of death and corruption.
Let us consider the benefits of fasting, the consequences of disobedience, and recall our fallen state. Today we are invited to cleanse ourselves of evil through fasting and obedience to God. Our fasting should not be a negative thing, a mere abstention from certain foods. It is an opportunity to free ourselves from the sinful desires and urges of our fallen nature, and to nourish our souls with prayer, repentance, to participate in church services, and partake of the life-giving Mysteries of Christ.
At Forgiveness Vespers we sing: "Let us begin the time of fasting in light, preparing ourselves for spiritual efforts. Let us purify our soul, let us purify our body. As we abstain from food, let us abstain from all passion and enjoy the virtues of the spirit...."
