Genericity: Interpretation and Uses III
Genericity: From Morphology to Cognition
We are pleased to announce the third Genius Conference, which will take place at Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France, on December 5-6, 2011.
The third edition of GENIUS: Genericity: Interpretation and Uses Conference will bring together theoreticians from morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics and cognition around the theme of genericity. This third conference on generics aims to:
(i) Bring together works on different languages, reconsidering the ontological questions linked to genericity. Should one postulate species in addition to particular individuals? What differences are there between a species and a set of individuals? Between a species and a set of properties?
(ii) Examine the relations between genericity, mass nouns and plurality.
(iii) Re-evaluate the relevance of the distinction between 'GEN' and 'HAB', states and events, and the distinction between stage-level and individual-level properties.
(iv) Articulate questions of syntax and semantics from a pragmatic perspective. In many languages, no specific linguistic form is dedicated to expressing genericity. The conference will gather work identifying the conditions under which a sentence is construed generically, articulating research on the structure of information, discourse, and prosody, reconsidering the distinction between analytic and synthetic judgments, and examining under which conditions genericity might be independent of inductive inferences.
(v) Articulate the question of exceptions, in particular at the interface of semantics and pragmatics (addressing the relation between genericity and free choice, genericity and vagueness, and contextual interpretation more generally).
Invited Speakers:

When in doubt, toss it out: Food left in the fridge for too long can be teeming with nasty bacteria.
You�re in the kitchen, about to make lunch. How about a nice Listeria sandwich? Or perhaps a Norovirus salad? Although we�d rather not think about it, food kept in the refrigerator at temperatures over 40 F or for more than several days can be dancing with bacteria you can�t see or smell, especially the rare but deadly Listeria, which thrives in temperatures between 18 to 68 F. �By the time food smells, it�s already been in the fridge longer than is safe,� says Shelley Frist, Executive Director of the Partnership for Food Safety Education in Washington, D.C.� �Our best advice: Don�t use smell or sight as a guide in preventing food poisoning.� So, what can you do to ensure that the yummy lunch you just had won�t make you sick later?� Here are tips that can help keep you safe. RELATED: Are Your Leftovers Safe to Eat? Buy a refrigerator thermometer. �Many refrigerators now have digital displays of temperature.� But for those of us without them, it�s worth buying an inexpensive refrigerator thermometer to ensure that the refrigerator is at 40 F or below, says Feist.� You can find refrigerator thermometers for $2 to $6 at big box stores or online. Toss most food after three to four days. �A general guideline is to save leftovers only 3 to 4 days, or to reheat or freeze them,� says Feist.� Reheat to at least 145 F to kill any bacteria.� Freezing won�t kill bacteria, but it will stop their growth.� Because many condiments are packed with preservatives, says Feist, most can be kept longer: check package recommendations. Store meats on the bottom shelf. �That�s so the juices won�t drip onto other foods,� says Feist.� Don�t store raw meat in the fridge for more than a day or two. Put fresh fruits and vegetables away unwashed. �Wash fruits and vegetables right before you eat them,� says Feist. �Moisture accelerates spoilage, especially in foods like berries.�� Some foods like spinach and other greens are prewashed. �We urge people not to rewash those because you may introduce contamination by handling them with dirty hands or putting them in contact with raw meats,� says Feist. �If the manufacturer advertises on the packaging that it�s prewashed, it�s been rigorously washed.� Toss after the use-by date. The �sell-by� date is the date by which a product should be moved out of a store, but it�s still safe to use for several days or a week, if refrigerated.� The �use by� date is set by the manufacturer as an indicator of when quality may begin to decline. �Whether you toss it or not depends on the product,� says Feist.� �To be safe, I would toss it soon after the use-by date. And once the package is open, treat it like any other food: eat it within three to four days.� Clean the fridge regularly.� How often depends on how much is in the fridge and how many people use it, says Feist.� The USDA suggests wiping up any spills immediately so that Listeria won�t grow and spread to other foods.� Feist recommends wiping down the fridge with a mixture of one-tablespoon bleach to one gallon of warm water; the bleach will kill bacteria. Or you can use a mild detergent and warm water. Then dry the shelves and sides with a clean cloth.� Wipe down the refrigerator handle often as well. Date your food.� Slap on a label with the date you opened the package. It sounds like a hassle, but it will make tossing food less of a guessing game.� For a list of how long to keep various foods, go to FoodSafety.gov,�and click on �Storage Times.� Brought to you by: Spry Living

U.K. Launches Unmanned Aircraft Civilian Flight Testing Center
Airport authorities and aviation officials launched the National Aeronautical Center (NAC), the U.K.'s first testing center for the development of operations of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in civilian airspace, on Monday at two airports near Wales.
(Insitu's ScanEagle UAS, an aircraft recently issued a commercial UAS certificate in the U.S. Photo, courtesy of Insitu.)
Launched as a partnership between West Wales Airport and Newquay Cornwall Airport, the dual location facility allows developers access to 14,000 sq km of segregated airspace between the two airports. Both airports have opened areas for offshore testing and opened up runways and facilities to allow researchers to collect data about how unmanned aircraft can be safely integrated into the civilian airspace.
Ray Mann, head of the NAC, calls the center "an opportunity for the UK to lead the way," in the global marketplace for commercial UAS platforms. Mann also deflected negative "perceptions of civilian use of UAS," stating that these perceptions could hinder the U.K.'s ability to capitalize on the "opportunity for economic growth" within the UAS industry.
The U.K.'s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has authorized the civilian use of beyond line of sight UAS operations at West Wales Airport since 2004. NAC will be used to further develop new operating procedures and technologies that govern the integration of UAS into civil airspace in the U.K.
The center is similar to the types of facilities that FAA is currently seeking in the United States, and opened a year ahead of the agency's plan to open six UAS testing sites within the National Airspace System (NAS).
"The value of the UAS market has been forecast to be 30 billion per year by 2020 in the military sector alone. With the creation of the NAC, the U.K. is currently better placed than most others to create significant and sustainable economic benefit from this new industry, both from the military and civilian marketplace," said Richard Deakin, CEO of NATS said.

pH--a measure of the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution--is important to dough-making because it affects the chemical and biological reactions, most notably the conversion of starch to sugar (maltose) to feed the yeast and make the dough rise. The optimum pH for pizza dough is considered to be around 5.0 (or slightly acidic). This pH level is best achieved by using water that has a pH in the range of 6.5-8.0, with a pH of 7.0 (neutral) being the optimum. If the pH is too low (high acidity), it can inhibit fermentation activity. In Naples, where the water is filtered through volcanic deposits, the pH is 6.7.
D.C.,From your question, I assume you're making the point that one is better than the other. I don't know that that's necessarily true. NYC tap water, for instance, is rigorously treated and is about as clean and good for you as municipal water gets. Some water bottling companies, on the other hand, are semi-fraudulent in their claims about the "purity" of their water.Dave
those are some good points.......but here in D.C. though...their tap water isnt very good...thats why i use San Beneddeto for the pizza and the results are better

Is it really that time of year again? asks Carol at Bellringers. Well, it's time for the end-of-summer Education Buzz carnival.
The National Council on Teacher Quality and U.S. News & World Report are reviewing teacher preparation programs around the country and want to hear from teachers (even veteran teachers) about what they think about the training they received. Go here to take it and get a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card.
Let's Do Math also has a contest, but you have to solve a Fibonacci puzzle to win, Carol warns.
Teaching My Baby to Read offers practical, affordable advice for parents with a child who's struggling in school.

We're wrapping up our 2008 here at ALA, and as we head into the Holiday, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of our readers for helping to make this a great year for ALA TechSource. It's been a privilege to come on board as your editor and to be able to spend time discussing exciting new developments with you. I'm looking forward to an even better 2009!
As we take our Holiday break, we won't be posting much over the next two weeks, but we we will be back at full speed in early January.
Best wishes from all of us at TechSource. Have a great Holiday!
There are seasons for everything. Seasons of life. Seasons of time. During this time of year, people often think about things for which they are thankful and things that they can give others to make them smile. I am thankful for the opportunity that ALA TechSource has given me. The opportunity to spread my wings, work with some wonderful people, and have fun. Sadly, I believe my season here to be over. There are many new writers in this space and I know their voices will keep me from being missed too much. In parting, I would like to leave you with this post: A Geek's Letter to Santa.
In the spirit of the bazillion other year-end lists you will see over the coming weeks, I decided to list my Top 5 Most Influential Technologies of the year. These are the technologies that I think librarians need to be aware of, examine, and find uses for in their library. Not all of these started this year, but 2008 was the year they broke out and became necessities in many people's lives. Read More »
This article from the Chronicle of Higher Education discusses Utica College's new Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), which eventually will serve as a facility for government agences to store and examine extremely sensitive documents in a secure environment.
There's been some discussion on the web about whether or not employers should be discriminating against gamers, given some claims that people who use their computers to play games will inevitably do so at the office and thus be less productive employees.
A vigorous discussion on has broken out here.
Is this a vicious stereotype? Is there some truth to it? It seems like there's a lot of mixed messages about gaming going on in our society. I can't say I'm shocked by this, but I'm also saddened given how much librarians have tried to advocate the idea that gaming is a useful educational tool that can be used to help children learn and gain valuable problem-solving skills.

This photo of a patron watching a video in Queensland's Brisbane City Library was taken by Karen Schneider on her recent trip to Australia. Check out her set on flickr for great photos of the automated check-in system, the gaming area, and other fun stuff, like a floating meeting room!
Last Thursday, the Library of Congress released a report on their recent Flick pilot project. Jessamyn West at librarian.net has some great coverage highlighting the key points. Doug Caverly at WebProNews provides some coverage here.
It's a balmy 5 degrees Fahrenheit today in Chicago (well below zero with the wind chill), so naturally I am thinking about warmer places...Southern California, for instance. Of course, as nice as the weather is in the Golden State, a major budget crisis is threatening to freeze out public services and facilities and creating a major headache for California Libraries.
Last week, I made a brief mention of the budget problems facing the San Diego Public Library. New director Deborah Barrow inherited a major financial challenge upon taking office. This piece from the San Diego Union Tribune discusses how Barrow had to divert $1.7 million from a library improvement fund to keep seven branch libraries operating.
Every now and then, usually when I have a moment by myself, I think about the state of librarianship. I ponder the opportunities, the problems, and the progress. Generally, these periodic, informal "state of librarianship" addresses to myself are optimistic.
Over the past couple of decades, rather than concentrate on outright threats to librarianship, I have tended to focus on things that are holding librarianship back, or retarding its growth and development. Questions of momentum, acceleration, and deceleration are much more mundanely interesting than questions about the life and death of a profession. Although Google is doing some interesting and large-scale things to make information findable and usable, and thus seems like it poses something of a threat to librarians, we really cannot do much about what Google does or plans to do.
By concentrating on the retarding factors, perhaps we can identify tangible problems that we can work to solve. Read More »
One of our readers, a librarian at a parochial school in Topeka, Kansas, writes:
We are losing teachers and staff. It is affecting how much we have to spend....technology is up at the top, considered a luxury. We are sticking with what we have and not updating unless someone gives or donates specific funds for tech.
No library is safe from the reach of this crisis. While a privately funded school in the heartland struggles to update their technology, the San Diego Public Library was forced to divert $1.7 million from a library improvement fund in order to keep a number of their branches open.
Last evening's NBC Nightly News included this report on library usage in tough times:
You can always tease parents with the adage that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Assuming that ALA TechSource readers may want to share their sci-tech passions with youngsters on their gift list, I'm linking to this list from Booklist Online's free newsletter REaD ALERT: Top Sci-Tech Books for Youth: 2008.
This article from Monday's Wall Street Journal previews the future of movie-watching. As cool as a lot of this stuff sounds, I can't help but think that if these predictions are true, all the time and money libraries are spending to build up their DVD collections could be for naught.
Web 2.0 expert and Library Technology Reports author Sarah Houghton-Jan posted this presentation at her blog Librarian in Black. "Web 2.0 Services for Smaller, Underfunded Libraries" can help librarians use social networking and other web tools to benefit patrons at little or no cost to the library.
Yesterday's New York Times featured this piece, which discussed how newspaper journalists have become avid users of Twitter:
CNN says it wants newspaper feedback as it creates a news wire service to compete with The Associated Press and other services. At a meeting last week, one newspaper staff member offered his advice — and shared the framework of CNN's plans — in real time on the social messaging Web site Twitter.
CNN, a division of Time Warner, invited several dozen newspaper editors to Atlanta last week for a summit about its forthcoming news wire. Gatherings of journalists aren't usually off-the-record affairs, but CNN probably didn't expect each segment of the summit to be shared with the Web. Then again, the increasingly popular Twitter, which allows users to share short messages with others, sometimes acts as a wire service as well. (CNN declined to comment.)
Hat tip to Steven at Library Stuff, who referenced this article yesterday.
We want to know how this crisis is affecting your technology needs. Have you been unable to purchase up-to-date equipment? Are you unable to afford the bandwidth that you need? Have you found a way to stretch your budget that you think others should know about? We want to be your voice. If you have anything you'd like to share, no matter how big or small, please e-mail email@example.com to share your stories with the world. Read More »
It's no secret that these are tough times for the publishing industry. We've been discussing the precarious position of the publishing industry for some time now, and the current economic crisis certainly isn't making things any easier. Meanwhile, new, mostly free Web 2.0 technology is flourishing, its popularity growing at an astonishing rate.
Stephen's Lighthouse has some fantastic coverage of this dynamic, particularly the contrast between the sharp decline in newspaper sales and the recent explosion in the popularity of twitter and other social networking tools. Read More »
Our very own Michael Stephens has some additional information about the fantastic sculpture I wrote about last Wednesday. Check out his post at Tame the Web.
A: Users!
My library designed and unveiled a new website for fall 2008, and one task we haven't yet attempted is gathering organized feedback through direct observation of students, while they use the site. We'll be conducting user assessments early in 2009, so I was delighted to hear Cliff Landis, Technology Librarian at Georgia's Valdosta State University talk about doing just that at Internet Librarian 2008 in October. During his talk, "Creating the User-Centered Library," Cliff talked about the Odum Library's use of surveys, focus groups, and recorded user observations to gather user feedback that they are using to make improvements to their website. User observations may seem intimidating, but Cliff's assertions that only a few volunteers are needed, only a few questions are necessary, and that it doesn't take a ton of time or planning, have me excited that we're gearing up to do our own.
The Fall 2008 report is available from the library's blog. Read More »
In one of my major talks - "The Hyperlinked Library" - I use many different examples, and often change them to keep them as current as possible. One example I've used for over a year is the Dublin City Library's creation of a public portal with Pageflakes. While in London for Internet Librarian International, I got to meet up with Edward Byrne, Senior Web Services Librarian , and chat with him about the project.
I use the development of a library portal via a free tool as an example of how libraries can create something useful without 6 months of meetings, decision-making or using a "home grown" IT solution that only one or two people can configure. Eddie agreed to fill me in on all of the details of Dublin's portal. It makes for a fascinating case study and in terms of timing and coincides with some recent developments that show the importance of caution when using Web 2.0 tools without planning for backups and changes in the tool. Our conversation started in London, wound its way through Facebook, and concluded via email. Read More »

The 1971-D Washington Quarter is very common as the Mint produced over 250 million of them. Coins can still be found in circulation but most of these are in MS63 condition and lower. In MS64-MS65 condition they are very common but most of them have probably been set aside or pulled from circulation. Examples in MS66 are scarce and were probably pulled from rolls or mint sets. In MS67 they are scarce with a few hundred probably in existence. In MS68 they are very scarce with less than a handful known and none being finer.

We don't need no stinking 555 timers! We have an AVR in the same form-factor!
The goal of this project is to design an electronic domino using a small AVR chip and minimal components, but at the same time provide a huge amount of flexibility and capability. Here's the 555 version:
And here's the current design:
Origin of the name: Programmable Domino = Progromino (pro-graa'-min-o TODO
1. After reviewing the CR2032 spec, looks like it's not sufficient to drive 60 ma - the maximum current required with 3 LEDs on. Fallback is to use 3xAAA batteries, but that's bigger than the device itself! There must be a better solution for powering it.
2. For the initial version, was not able to incorporate the switch (too expensive for switch and PCB space). Need to come up with a suitable H/W and S/W solution. Springy wire? Using ATTiny44A provided a complete SPI interface and one extra unused pin!
3. Write some more demo programs. Ideas:
- Add a delay of about 1/2 second between inputs and outputs
- Switch colors from input to output (e.g., red input turns on green output)
- Demo mode where outputs are turned on in different sequences
- Use an averaging algorithm to adjust to ambient light conditions
This design uses LEDs as inputs. The LEDs are chosen to minimize crosstalk between colors by taking advantage of the fact that LEDs respond to wavelengths shorter than those they emit. Hence the blue sense LED is a slightly longer wavelength than the blue LED output. The green sense LED is more yellow, so it will respond to green light (and blue light, but not red). The red sense LED responds to all of the colors, unfortunately. Still there is some separation, and if you line up a series of Progrominos, you'll find that the directionality as well as this separation by wavelength is pretty effective. Here's the source code for the basic operation, which simply turns on an LED when the respective input exceeds a threshold.
What to do With Them
The bill of material ended up being fairly expensive to have a whole bunch of these lined up, though it would look very cool. To reduce the cost of have a large light show, the Progrominoes can be combined with a bunch of cheaper Le Dominoux in an arrangement like a model railroad track, where the Progrominoes act as switches between tracks of Le Dominoux.

Microsoft's Ballmer: Surface Is a Real Business
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Microsoft(MSFT) boss Steve Ballmer says he's happy with his company's new line of Surface tablets and the family of Windows 8 operating systems.
In a question-and-answer session with the MIT Technology Review, Ballmer says that, despite less-than-stellar early sales numbers, he's "super-glad they did Surface." The CEO added that that the newly integrated hardware and software is "important not just for Microsoft but for the entire Windows ecosystem."
The company's Surface tablets are a "real business", according to Ballmer. "In an environment in which there's 350 million PCs sold, I don't think Surface
is going to dominate volume, but it's a real business," he said.
He elaborates:
"We're building new capabilities to give the consumer what the consumer wants. Take pen computing
So, is there a lack of understanding, or in some cases do I wish our execution had been better? I would say the latter. In cases where we've embraced end-user needs and really sort of dived in, like the things that we've done with Kinect and the Xbox, I think we've done a heck of a job."
A large part of Microsoft's overall plan is based on their release of Windows 8 for computers and tablets, Windows RT and Windows Phone 8 Microsoft's new software "ecosystem" which extends to everything from servers to smartphones.
But Windows 8 has not been wildly embraced by reviewers. That's especially true of computer expert Simpson Garfinkel, who, writing in the same MIT Technology Review calls the newly-overhauled operating system "a computer science masterpiece trapped inside a user interface kerfuffle."
In his review of the multi-interface software, Garfinkel notes that "Windows 8 gets a lot right, but Microsoft's determination to offer computer and mobile users the same interface makes the operating system somewhat weird."

Thanks norma, I really like this forum , so much to learn , wish I was 20 yrs younger. LOL
Norma,Have you got a good formula for a jets square pizza ? Maybe it's my dough that I need to change up...Shirl
Norma,Thanks for the formulation, mine uses oil , so i'm excited to try yours and see the difference. I am reading so much about the use of corn oil in coating the pan. Does that particular oil crisp up the crust better then olive oil would ?
Shril,I find corn oil does do well in helping the crust crisp up better, but I still havent gotten my bottom crust to crisp as much as I would like.I hope you report back on the Jets thread how your bake went, with pictures if possible, if you decide to try that formulation. That formulation isnt a clone Jet formulation though. It was just something I was playing around with.Norma
I am an old lady.Norma
35 is old?
Craig,I wish! Norma
Craig,you say make sure my pan is well seasoned, I put olive oil in the pan and into a 400* oven for about an hour , is that good or do i need to b doing something else. Also I love garlic, can you put smashed garlic in the pan as well to give it that garlic taste ?Shirl
35 YEARS OLD !!! I remember that year,,, if only i knew then what i know now... WOW,,, I hear ya Norma, I wish too. Oh well, maybe we will get a second chance. LOL
Shirl,I am not Craig, but when I seasoned my blue steel pans they needed to be seasoned a few times before the crust didnt want to stick. I think any kind of oil can be used to season the pans, but if you use olive oil you might want to use one that can withstand higher temperatures. Maybe other members might chime in on what kind of oil to use to season your pans. I never tried to use fresh garlic in dough or on a pan, but my friend Steve did use garlic powder in his doughs different times. You need to be careful with garlic though.I agree, if I only knew then what I know now, things would be different. There is always a second chance. I didnt get into opening my small pizza stand at market until I was 62. Norma
OOPS !!! sorry Norma, I think my brain is turning to dough !!! You use the word market , as i also see others that do , exactlt what are you referring to when you use it ?
Shirl,This is the market I have my small pizza stand at. http://www.rootsmarket.com/ and my small pizza stand. http://www.rootsmarket.com/standholders-detail.asp?Image=59 Norma
Awesome !!! Norma , what a beautiful place and love the pizza station . I am from Michigan , but I have saved your site in my phone and will definatety look you up if ever in the area. My husband is a pyrotechnician and we travel All over for firework conventions.
Shirl,Thanks! Look me up if you and your husband ever get to my area. Root's is only opened on Tuesdays. Wow, your husbands job as a pyrotechnican sounds interesting. In our area (Lititz) the Clair Brothers set all the fireworks off to music. It is cool to watch those fireworks. Norma
OMG Norma,,,, my husband just told me that his next year convention, is August 10-16 2013 in Butler County, PA . As i get more info i will let you know... that my friend is a show I hope you can see. It is out of this world... Shirl

In Emmy Laybourne's action-packed debut novel, six high school kids (some popular, some not), two eighth graders (one a tech genius), and six little kids trapped together in a chain superstore build a refuge for themselves inside. While outside, a series of escalating disasters, beginning with a monster hailstorm and ending with a chemical weapons spill, seems to be tearing the world - as they know it - apart.
©2012 Emmy Laybourne (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
Loved this book. I could not wait to download the second in the series.
"Very good"
The book was very very good! I can't wait to start the next one. I recommend it strongly to anyone interested.
My favorite genres are absurdist humor, Sci-fi & modern fantasy, but, as you can see, I'll read just about anything. Don't mind the typos.
"Nice book"
Interesting story, short on the believability, short on action, short on thrill. Safe for younger teens and adults who like to avoid the heavy hitting dystopian thriller.
Cindy, Atwater CA
"Listening for a second time"
The first in a 3 book series, had me on my toes the entire time. I really cared about the "kids" in this book. If you like the "Hunger Games" or "Walking Dead" this series might pull you in. I loved all 3 books.
"Not Just for Teens"
Excellent. I looked forward to listening each time I exercised.
Don't want to give it away.
They were all good.
Even though the story involves teens and kids, it is interesting enough to be enjoyed by adults. There are some graphic descriptions of wounds and sex so it is not appropriate for kids.
"Great story!"
I am ready to find out what happens in the installment. I hope the survive!
The summary describes this as action packed. There is a bit of action at the beginning, to set up the scenario, and a little at the end, but aside from that nothing happens.... Nothing. And I don't mean no action, I mean little to no plot. Hours of what will we have for breakfast and who is the leader who will decide our chores (not try to figure out what is happening, or come up with a plan, or anything else that logically the characters would and should be concerned about).
We hear very little about what happened, and no explanation of why it happened, and no real idea of its impact in the world - it is almost entirely ignored aside from being a set up for the scenario for the kids. So we have kids in a store during some unexplained catastrophe. It tries then to focus on what the kids do, but do not expect Lord of the Flies-like tension... There is little tension... The kid set up as the bad guy is a very nothing sort of bad guy with hardly any real conflict, and does very little, the good guys are equally anemic in their goodness... the characters on the whole are incredibly flat, and their relationships completely uncompelling, uninteresting and not at all well developed. The main character is in love with a girl because she is "perfect, smart, funny, a 'goddess'".. Well, we will have to take his word on that because she does absilutely nothing to warrant any of those advectives in any way, does nothing to warrant very many adjectives of any sort really, and the interaction between the main character and his crush does nothing to make the reader feel concerend with their relationship or understanding of the crush.
Very little goes on in this story and it doesn't succeed in being a character driven story as the characters are just so dull and the relationships are so uninteresting. The premise is nearly completely unexplored as well, which is surprising as that could have been interesting. Once the kids get into the store, there are no threats, no real hardships (except deciding what to eat and where to sleep, etc). So it doesn't even really work as a survival story. There isn't even the emotional component you would expect with a bunch of young kids (some teens and some very young little kids) who have lost everything. The occassional mention of how they miss their parents but nothing major - and though I don't want hours of kids in emotional anguish, it would have at least made sense and been something to connect to.
Also, be warned parents - there is a bizarre amount of drugs and sex and alcohol and vulgarity for no apparent reason. This does not make the story more interesting, and is not a major element, though a frequent one, and is totally perplexing as it goes no where and contributes very little to the story or the characters. Even that element is dull and never really develops properly. There are too many undeveloped threads like that - that never seem to amount to something that can hold the story together or give it some direction or shape.
I hate giving reviews like this... But the description makes it seem like something it isn't and I think like minded people will be as disappointed as I was, so thought I should warn.
"modern-day Lord of the Flies (kind of)"
Once this book got going, I quite enjoyed it. The plot moves quickly and the characters are realistic enough. There are fourteen of them, but for the most part it isn't hard to keep track of who exactly is who (except some of the little kids, but it doesn't matter much). It's easy to draw parallels to Lord of the Flies, but it is a rather telling statement about people these days (not just kids) that they struggle to survive in a vast super store with food and supplies but without the internet. It just wouldn't have been realistic to say that these kids could have made it in the wilderness.
Anyway, I was looking forward to giving this book a higher review, but then it ended. Just kind of ended in the middle of things. It sort of set itself up for an ending that would have done enough wrapping up without drawing it out or making it too 'happy ending' but then for some reason it doesn't. It almost seemed to me that the author maybe decided to write a sequel and so changed the ending to allow for that? In any case, the ending disappointed me, but not so much I wouldn't recommend it.

Christian counseling degrees provide an introduction to psychological theories and the evaluation of emotional and mental issues, from a biblical perspective. Christian counseling degrees are generally available at the bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degree level.
A bachelor's degree in Christian counseling provides a wide-ranging introduction to human behavior and motivation and prepares graduates for non-licensed counseling roles. Master's degree programs can prepare graduates for state licensure and counseling work in hospitals, churches, and other outreach settings. Doctorate programs provide advanced training in particular counseling areas, such as pastoral counseling and marriage counseling, and they also prepare graduates for teaching at the college level.
Bachelor's programs in Christian counseling are built on a strong foundation of social and behavioral sciences. Required core classes typically include theories in counseling, developmental psychology, and human sexuality. Counseling classes discuss strategies for working with different populations, such as women, children, and families. Students also study different aspects of the Bible, theology, and Christian perspectives on counseling. Like most bachelor's degrees, the Christian counseling program also provides a wide set of general education classes in natural sciences, art, humanities, and English. Many programs require an internship in a counseling setting.
The master's degree in Christian counseling is the degree for you if you're interested in seeking out state licensure and clinical counseling positions. Required courses depend on the focus of the degree. Some programs look at marriage and family counseling, health counseling, or addictions counseling form a Christian perspective. Coursework discusses psychology research, the professional role of the counselor, counseling theories, group counseling, and clinical diagnosis. The counseling internship is a required component in degrees that lead to state licensure.
Doctorate degrees are aimed at individuals with a master's degree that want to develop or improve their clinical counseling skills. Some doctoral degrees focus on counseling research. Most programs specialize in a particular type of Christian counseling, such as pastoral counseling or marriage and family counseling. Core classes discuss counseling theories, individual appraisal, and research and program evaluation. Doctorate degrees require the completion of a dissertation, which is a clinically-based research project in the student's interest area.
Bachelor's programs generally follow the standards admission requirements of a high school diploma, letters of recommendation, and a statement of intent, while some require standardized test scores. Master's degree programs require an accredited bachelor's degree with a high GPA; most also require basic undergraduate-level classes in psychology. Master's degree programs may also require GRE or MAT scores. Doctorates typically require an accredited master's degree in counseling or a related area, along with standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement.
Almost all Christian counseling degrees require some type of onsite internship in a counseling setting, such as a mental health clinic, hospital, or church outreach ministry. Because counseling requires communication and evaluation skills that can only really be developed in person, it's easy to see why this internship would be necessary. Graduate degrees that lead to a state counseling license require these onsite internships.
Bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees in Christian counseling have a tuition of around $12,000 a year.
Individuals seeking state counseling certification will need to attend a program that is recognized by their state's counseling board. Since regulations vary from state to state, students should check out the National Board for Certified Counselors for information on the requirements where they hope to practice. While usually not required, programmatic accreditation by groups like the Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs can be one way to evaluate potential degrees.
The curriculum in a Christian counseling degree can vary greatly between programs and students should make sure their prospective programs are good preparation for the type of counseling career they want to have. Some programs focus on church counseling, while others look at marriage and family or pastoral counseling. It is also advisable, when attending a program, to make sure that the required internship can be completed in your local community in a clinic or church setting that is appealing to you.

Posted on 10/05/2012 9:58:22 AM PDT by tapatio
Obama: 'We Don't Believe Anybody Is Entitled to Success in This Country'
(Excerpt) Read more at weeklystandard.com ...
This country does not just succeed when just a few are doing well at the top," Obama said, according to a rush transcript of the remarks. "It succeeds when the middle class gets bigger. Our economy does not grow from the top-down, it grows from the middle-out. We do not believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country. But we do believe in opportunity. We believe in a country where hard work pays off and responsibilities are rewarded and everybody is getting a fair shot and everybody's doing their fair share. And everybody's paying by the same rules. That is the country believe in. That is what we have been fighting for the last four years. That is what we're going to put in place in the next four years if you reelect me as president of the United States of America."
Does he believe everybody is entitled to an 0bamaph0ne?
Video at link
So, who has been burying the middle class the last four years, and who will help the middle class in the future?
On its face that is a mostly true statement. No one is entitled to success, but they are entitled to the opportunity for success. What one does wth that opportunity is up to him. With that said, and knowing what I know about our moron President, I am pretty damn sure he also meant that no one is entitled to the opportunity for success.
Then Obama, you are NOT entitled to a SECOND TERM.
Can you say "President-elect Mitt Romney?"
"Our economy does not grow from the top-down, it grows from the middle-out."
What does that even mean?
Producers grow economies,because they are the ones providing the stuff, made with the jobs they hire people to do, so that those workers can buy it with the paychecks those producers give to them.
Anyone else says this and it means equal opportunity. When he says it it means redistribution of wealth.
"...and everybodys doing their fair share."
His base isn't going to like that one.
I think what he meant is that if you ARE successful, you are not entitled to keep the fruits of that labor, you gotta share.
Of course not....to a Democrat, success implies some form of actual work ——a paycheck or payout for actually doing something! They're not about anything in that genre.
They're not interested in paychecks, they're interested in payback! And that sure as (you know what!) don't mean work.
Interesting how almost everything obama says can instantly be used against him.
[[Our economy does not grow from the top-down, it grows from the middle-out.
What does that even mean?]]
It measns he wants America to becoem fat and lazy living easy off other peopel's money- Growing from the middle out- overweight-
Dems believe you're not entitled to your earnings, either.
yet every moocher is entitled an Obama Phone.
This is like watching a nervous breakdown occur on a national stage. If he were a celebrity, it would be curious and sad, but hes the President of the United States. His life is unraveling before him on live TV and his tone is becoming one of person out of touch with reality and descending into depression. This sort of thing could get darn scary by election day if his strange behaviour keeps up.
What the hell DOES he think the government has to do with it in the first place???
He DOES seem to think people are 'entitled' to have your money being 'redistributed' to them if you are a success, though.
But he does believe everyone is entitled to a fair share...
0bama believes one person's success should be SHARED by everyone. He truly believes that. He's said "everyone will get their fair share". He said it in the debate. He's currently spreading America's wealth to the rest of the world to 'level the playing field'; BAD FOR US, great for them! That's why we've slipped in global competitiveness. '2016; Obama's America' explains this well.
People aren't entitled to "success", but they're entitled to:
That's interesting. He apparently realized his oops. Here's what he said in his closing statement at the debate:
.....they have an opportunity to succeed. And everybodys getting a fair shot and everybodys getting a fair share. Everybodys doing a fair share and everybodys playing by the same rules.
Just once I would love for someone to slap the SNOT out of that bungling fool. well, besides MOOCH.
[[Obama: 'We Don't Believe Anybody Is Entitled to Success in This Country']]
so when obama tries to nail romeny on the 47% remark, romeny can simply throw this back in his face- but of course, romney won't- He'll just stammer when obama brings up the 47% remark, or try to explain it away, digging himself in even deeper witrh the mainstream media who lvoe to twist his words- He should refuse to answer the 47% accusations from obama and instead turn it around and ask why the president of the united states feels that peopel aren't entitled to sucess i nthis coutnry- ask him why he's waging a war on successful people-
Bums are not entitled to the fruits of my labor
"We have come too far to abandon the change we fought for these past few years.
We have to move forward to the future we imagined in 2008 where everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules.
Thats the choice in this election and thats why Im running for a second term as President of the United States.
~Barack Obama
WTF is the middle-class? I thought this was the United States, not the British Empire.
"What does that even mean?"
Precisely - and what do any of these same, worn out repeated statements mean, even to his own supporters?
"...not anyone is entitled to success". What the F*** is this suppose to imply???
My only conclusion is that this a**hole of a president wants his base of victims to assume that anyone who has succeeded financially in life does not deserve what he/she has accomplished and that they have "unfairly" achieved their dreams.
Who are all of these successful, middle class business owners who have succeeded and failed to "follow the same rules" or failed to pay their "fair share"??
Answer - there are no such group of unfair winners. They are, however, a target to spread Obama's false narrative of class envy and class warfare to obtain votes. And his completely, brain-dead supporters go along with this jackass without even realizing the stupidity of the argument they've bought into.
I think a question for Obama is: Is the country itself entitled to success?
Why can't America be successful, prosperous?
Obama is a cold-hard commie. How can we allow this idiot to get a second term? He must be stopped.
Obummer: 'We Don't Believe Anybody Is Entitled to Success in This Country'
That`s why I want you NOT to succeed, you SOB-
I want YOU TO FAIL MISERABLY AND eat your own words,
you POS Obummer
My husband and I both work for billionaires - and so do most of the people in my neighborhood. The neighborhood where I live is nice and values are stable because we are all benefiting from the risks taken and the true grit of a few people who in the 1970s had a great idea and the fortitude to see it through.
Seems like Obama doesn't even understand this since it happens without government intervention.
soooooo, will R&R be able to articulate that this statement means that 'the rich' should pay their fair share, %-wise, as the '47%' ??? or does this mean that the '47%' needs to be paying more ???
better get slo joe out in front and doing damage control...doh !!!
I've been growing from the middle out for years. :o)
Literally, he is right (though I'm not sure this is the way he meant it). 'Entitled to' means 'having an unconditional right to' or 'being guaranteed a right to' something. No-one has a natural 'right' to success in this country, whether they work for it or not. We are all entitled to the MEANS to success through our own efforts, indeed. But the very problem of the 'entitlement society' we see developing around us is surely that too many people DO believe that they are 'entitled' to 'success' without having to get off their butts and work for it.
No government endows 'success', nor is that its role. The role of government is to provide a climate and environment which enables those who wish to work for success to achieve their dreams.
"Then Obama, you are NOT entitled to a SECOND TERM."
He is entitled to an opportunity to EARN a second term.
So far he is doing a LOUSY job of earning it.
What is it about the Kenyan anti-Christ and Virginia that when he visits, he keeps sticking his foot down his mouth till it comes out the other side of his alimentary canal?
Stop trying to make logical sense from the applause lines spoken to the envious and resentful cretins!
That should be fairly obvious to anyone with knowledge of his record.
"so when obama tries to nail romeny on the 47% remark, romeny can simply throw this back in his face- but of course, romney wont- Hell just stammer when obama brings up the 47% remark, or ..."
After Wednesday you would think that some of you would have moved off of the whole "Romney isnt going to do..." line of BS.
Obviously you guys weren't very good at reading him, but insist on putting words in his mouth.
but green jobs deserve success yes? I mean that's why we support them with our tax dollars, right?
Did Obamugabe say this today in Virginia? (or was it yesterday?)
"we're gonna put in place the next four years"??
So it's not in place after your first four doofus?
I wonder if obamma believes he played by the same rules?
I had (at one time) 3 part-time jobs + classes while I was a student. In college all my friends where out having a great time and a wonderful campus experience... I had to WORK...I always worked and kept at it until I graduated.
After college I was on my way, and when I thought I was STILL ENTITLED TO MORE ... I took a part-time job, in addition to my straight boogie... so I could get more than I had and ALL I AM ENTITLED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is how it works.
I don't think that I am unique in this.
Why is it so hard for Mr. "O" and his lazy and spoiled supporters to comprehend.

Paolo, I don't know if there are cliff notes for Neapolitan, but general cliff notes are here http://www.pizzawiki.info/index.php?title=Blackstone_Pizza_Oven
Beautiful pies there. Can you divulge a little on the toppings holder?Regards,Anthony
Italdream - which mods are u using to get hardly any char on your cheese? Awesome pies
Hello pac, I made my own version of the "chau-flector". Costed me two dollars and basically almost no skills involved.I bought two 1-dollar metal spatulas at wallmart, removed the handle and put them under the top stone, close to the flame.I played with the angle a few times, until I got the right cooking. Right now the flame is directed for the most part on the cornicione.The top cook nicely but does not burn.The leoparding will vary based on the dough. I get best results with a 3-day rise. Unfortunately, I use fresh cake yeast (used to have camaldoli starter but not anymore).Anyway, I am still experimenting but have not had one bad pizza yet. The BS is overall pretty easy to work with.
WOW Italdream!.....Excellent job with those pies!Just 2 quick questions:1) Which mods do you absolutely recommend on a stock BS?2) Could you post some pics of your "wallmart spatula" deflector?Grazie mille!
got my 2 walmart spatulas and broke off the handles (that hurt when I clipped and then snapped off the handles). I placed them under the top stone. Trials begin tomorrow!
italdream - have you thought about using a 3rd spatula? I may get one more to cover more flame.

We ended this week's TV-themed show "Monsters We Love" with an invitation to tell us about the series we didn't include in the production — shows that matter to you that are telling a bigger story about who we are, what we fear, and who we aspire to be. Some of you responded with surprising, off-the radar recommendations.
Take the gothic soap opera Dark Shadows, which aired on ABC from 1966 to 1971. I'd never heard of it. Artist Patrick Lynch, who wrote to us from Paris, Kentucky, would run home after school to watch it. Patrick calls it the ancestral precursor to the modern-day vampire shows we're seeing on TV right now:

Mark Snyder: MessyPosted by Jay Batzner in CD Review, Jay Batzner, tags: accordion, CD Review, Clarinet, Jay Batzner, live processing, mark snyder, multimedia, tuba
Mark Snyder
Royal Livermush Music
I have had the fortune of knowing Mark Snyder and his music for the last few years, so please consider this statement a warning of my own bias.
Snyder's music does not follow the aesthetic of "instrument as effects machine" when combining a live performer with live-processing. Instead, the role of the computer is much more ambient and serves to enhance and extend the sound of the performer. His music is expansive, expressive, and extremely human. The technology involved is not the most advanced and sophisticated outside of the fact that this music is, from a technical and technological aspect, approachable and satisfying. Snyder's work attracts performers who resist to works with electronics as well as audiences who don't think they want to hear computer processing.
Snyder's style is consistent throughout: slowly unfolding instrumental melodies are enhanced and allowed to spin in an electronically created space. Where some composers might favor the sound of the computer over that of the live performer, Snyder always keeps the main emotional and musical content very firmly rooted in the person on the stage. Snyder uses spectral enhancements to keep the sound alive as well as build ambient layers of material to sculpt the form of the piece. Spoken words, children at play, and other very human sounds permeate the prerecorded material. The end result might not be the pristine technical perfection sought by some, but the music is rich with intimate emotional resonance.
The one-man multimedia show that Mark Snyder has been touring in recent years combines his work as a composer, multi-instrument performer (tuba, clarinet, and accordion), and video artist. This collection of pieces is, in many ways, a wonderful and logical extension of his tour but, at the same time, owners of the CD will be missing the video component so vital to the majority of the tracks presented here. Fortunately for us all, he sells a DVD to rectify this problem.

If the rest of the world is willing to move toward low-carbon technologies, U.S. business doesn't want to be left behind."Copenhagen], when hopefully the leadership of the major countries in the world will bring to bear on the negotiators, their negotiators, what needs to be done, what kinds of compromises to make. So I'm expecting that in the remaining few weeks, we will see some hectic activity as a result of which, possibly down to the midnight hour, we might get an agreement. I hope it's a reasonably satisfactory agreement because the last thing that the world needs today is a weak agreement that doesn't really help in mounting an effort at the level that's required globally. So I remain cautiously optimistic, and I'm hoping that things will work out in the end.
I think there's a record of complete absence of responsibility on the part of the U.S."agreement at this point in time. But I believe there's enough resolve in Europe, in Japan, and other parts of the world to move on, that we might actually see an agreement which involves all the other parties, but leaves a small window of opportunity for the U.S. to take a little more time and come back and make its own commitments. So basically, one would be allowing the U.S. to remain outside the deal, but give it time to come back and make its commitments, which of course all the parties will have to agree to.
I don't think the world can afford the luxury of not arriving at an agreement."essentially provide money for commercial transfer of technologies of some specific types that may or may not be specified. The other possibility would be to provide low-interest financing for some of these technology deals that would take place, transferring know-how and technological knowledge from the North to the South. So I think these are being discussed, and I frankly don't see too much of a problem in agreement on that.

Charge to the Graduating Classes
Delivered at Westminster Choir College's 81st Commencement
May 15, 2010
By Christian Carey
President Rozanski, Provost Steven, Dean Annis, distinguished faculty and administrators, members of our campus community, most-welcome guests, and students of the graduating classes: I'm honored to be addressing you today. I found out about this speaking opportunity in a somewhat roundabout fashion. A few weeks ago I was asked by the college's Director of External Affairs, Anne Sears, for a bio to put in the commencement program, to supply those in attendance with a bit more information about the speaker giving the charge at commencement. After picking my jaw up off the ground, I quickly emailed Anne back to ask if she was sure – really sure – that I'd been selected for this distinction. After being reassured by her that yes, I had indeed been asked to speak to you today; I felt humbled and more than a bit intimidated at being accorded this privilege and responsibility.
Shortly thereafter, I realized that the way this invitation came about was actually a serendipitous event, as it provided an excellent starting point – and not too bad of an anecdote – with which to begin my speech. One of my favorite English poems is "Surprised by Joy" by William Wordsworth, not only because it in itself is a beautiful work, but because its title has so often described experiences I've had throughout my life; in particular, my life in the arts.
Wordsworth's poem begins: "Surprised by Joy, impatient as the wind…" and we can certainly identify with that impatience: particularly while waiting to receive our diploma! In the hectic postmillennial culture in which we find ourselves, it often seems as if patience is no longer prized as a virtue. Instead, we frequently are bombarded with media messages that prize fast results and instant gratification. You and I both know that this is not the path the graduates today have chosen. They have worked long and hard for their degrees, cultivating discipline, technique, and musicality. These are the skill sets and values that your teachers at Westminster Choir College have instilled in you. And you are fortunate indeed to have received this training, as it will help to sustain you in the challenging career paths you have chosen.
For no one who is in the arts for the long haul can expect the meteoric rise of Miley Cyrus, Susan Boyle, or David Archuleta to be the norm in our field. For every 'American Idol' winner there are countless musicians out there who are cultivating their artistry in relative obscurity. They do so not because they are waiting for 'their fifteen minutes of fame,' but because of their love of and respect for music. They may not gain that quick flash of ephemeral stardom, but we should never mistake this brief dalliance with fame and fortune for the only satisfying pathway in the arts. Please note that these truths may need to be communicated to our friends and family members who are non-musicians more than once: and that's okay! But we cannot allow the clatter and glitz of our whirlwind fast media culture to distract us from our artistic goals, from our creative work. Thus, in our lives in music, patience, as well as persistence and perseverance, must be our bywords and indeed our virtues as each of us carves out their own path.
There will doubtless be naysayers who attempt to sully our path as well. I was reminded of this by a recent article in The New York Times, which profiled the winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in Composition, Jennifer Higdon. As your music history professor Sharon Mirchandani will tell you, Higdon began her career not as a composer, but as a flutist. In fact, Sharon accompanied Higdon's undergraduate flute recital at Bowling Green State University! It was only later on that she realized that her true calling was to be a composer. Please take note of this graduates – sometimes paths diverge from our initial expectations – this too is okay! (I received my Bachelor of Music degree in Voice – now I am a college music theory professor – that's quite a divergence!)
Higdon caught up with and indeed moved past the rest of the pack very quickly. Her piece the Blue Cathedral is now the most often performed American orchestral work written in the past twenty-five years. Her Violin Concerto garnered her the Pulitzer Prize, and its recording will be released on the Deutsche Grammophon label this Fall, with the world-class violinist Hilary Hahn performing as soloist. But as a woman who began to pursue a career in composition later than her peers, Higdon experienced a great deal of discrimination, even heckling, as she forged a formidable voice and this significant career as a composer. She even had the unpleasant experience of being told by male composers that "the only reason she was successful was because she was a woman." Imagine facing down that kind of ignorant behavior!
Higdon was kind enough to share her formula for dealing with irrational criticism. She says, "Everyone runs into naysayers, but if you love something enough and feel passionately enough, you just go on ahead, walk right round the person saying it, proceed down the road and don't look back." My father, to whom we'll return later, often shared a Latin phrase that speaks to this as well: "Illegitimi non carborundem." Loosely translated, it means: "Don't let the bastards get you down!"The awareness that the artist's path is long, without a specific 'arrival point,' but that it can be filled with many surprising joys, has never been more apparent to me than it was in December 2005, when I interviewed the American composer Elliott Carter as he neared his 97th birthday. Carter was then, as he is to this day at 101, busily composing, fulfilling multiple commissions for major orchestras and world class performers. Carter has dealt with his critics a bit differently than Higdon – he's simply outlived them!
Having written my doctoral dissertation on his music, I was aware of his astounding vitality and continued productivity, but seeing him in person truly astounded me. Carter described the creative life this way: "When I'm out here in the physical world, I'm an old man, with all of the infirmities and challenges that come with living a very long life. But when I'm composing, I'm transported to another world, where its stimulating, very pleasant, and always engaging. Every night, my nurse has to drag me away from my writing desk!" Rather than rest on his laurels, rehashing the tried and true, Carter tries to approach each piece afresh. As I asked him about things he was working on over and over again he said, "I've never tried that before and I thought it might be interesting to write a piece incorporating it." He waited until age 94 to compose his first opera and at 101 years of age is still trying new things!
Elliott Carter supplies me with inspiration and a sense of the patience and long view that a life in the arts – notice I'm not calling it a career, but a life – requires. Another of my mentors, one with whom I was fortunate to study, was the composer Lukas Foss, who passed away just last year. I first met Lukas and took a lesson with him when I was still in my teens, but worked with him more extensively as a graduate student at Boston University. At BU, Lukas would frequently pass by the students at work in the lounge area of the music building, poring over scores or correcting parts. He'd peer over the composers' shoulders, playfully make faux sweeping comments:"Too diatonic! Put in more dynamics! Where's this phrase going?" On the way back from the beverage machine, Lukas would often pass along an extra cup of cocoa or coffee.
The last time I saw Lukas was in 2004. The Music Festival of the Hamptons had programmed Mourning Madrid, my piece for live locomotive and orchestra. Lukas was a fixture of the festival: advising on the programming, conducting, and appearing as a piano soloist. In a conversation after the Hamptons concert, I thanked Lukas for his generosity at our first meeting, when he'd listened to a tape of an early piece of mine for string quartet. Even though there were glaring shortcomings in the music, he cared enough about the fragile confidence of a fledgling composer to give words of encouragement that would inspire me to go on. As he would so often in the future, Lukas had told me to "keep writing."
In parting, he said with a smile, "Remember what I told you? I was right."
Lukas taught me that even the most gifted of us is responsible to share our artistry with others with a sense of compassion, commitment, and in a spirit of dedicated service.
Since returning to Westminster in 2007, I've been repeatedly supplied joyful surprises and also sudden jolts of the less pleasant variety – alas, life cannot be counted on for one without sometimes experiencing the other. This juxtaposition was set in stark contrast this past summer, when, as many of you know, my wife and I got married August 1st, only to have my father pass away just a week after our wedding. But even in the midst of the grief I felt at losing a parent were surprising joys. Many of these came by way of teaching colleagues and students, past and present. Within days of my father's passing, countless hugs were dispensed, orchids arrived on our doorstep, and we received many beautiful cards of condolence – as well as many notes on my Facebook Wall. Some of you, bearing in mind our family's beloved Labrador retriever Humphrey, made donations to the Guide Dog Foundation in my father's memory. I was deeply touched and remain most grateful.
Each of these gestures reminded me that I was a part of a caring and supportive campus community. As commencement's conclusion nears, your thoughts today may be about your life after Westminster. But I hope that you will remember that you remain a part of this community. Indeed, this will be a touchstone and wellspring for friendships, support, and encouragement for the rest of your lives. After all, we musicians must stick together!
I'll close with a quote from my father, who, like all good Irish cops, shared many anecdotes, witticisms, and one-liners that I cherish along with his memory. But the one that has remained with me, throughout the many joyful surprises and moments of adversity I've experienced, is from my driving lessons with him as a teenager. Having been trained in the high speed pursuit of hardened criminals, teaching a trepidatious sixteen year-old to merge onto the Belt Parkway must have been child's play for my Dad. But he was an excellent teacher, and always served as a calming presence, even during my attempts to Parallel Park. His mantra for driving, which he repeated over and over, was "always keep your sights high."
Its a quote I've repeated to myself often, both on snowy drives and in the hurly-burly of pursuing artistic dreams. It applies equally to those about to embark on their post-graduate lives: "Always keep your sights high."
Thank you.

Skip to comments.Chaparral Energy to pipe CO2 to help extract Osage County oil (OK)
Posted on 12/26/2012 8:44:18 AM PST by T-Bird45
Winding from Coffeyville, Kan. to Burbank, Okla., is a pipeline project that maybe even Al Gore could love.
Chaparral Energy Inc. is building a line that will move carbon dioxide to help with enhanced oil recovery at the historic North Burbank field in Osage County. The project, due for completion early next year, initially will pipe about 23 million cubic feet of CO2 captured from a Coffeyville fertilizer plant.
"This is a very green operation," Chaparral CEO Mark Fischer said. "For the life of that (fertilizer) plant, the CO2 has been emitted into the atmosphere."
That, of course, is what Gore says is causing the planet to overheat.
But Chaparral will put the CO2 back into the ground as it uses the gas to recover oil from the mature fields that were once the province of industry legends such as a Marland Oil, Skelly and Phillips Petroleum Co. The 68-mile, 8-inch diameter pipeline will run from a compressor station at a fertilizer plant owned by a subsidiary of CVR Energy Inc. to the North Burbank site.

Ping — thought you might find this interesting. Hope your Christmas was great!
About six months ago I realized that this is the end game in putting aside objections to both carbon dioxide and energy exploration. Once a viable technique has been developed to frack using CO2 on a mass scale, then there can be no remaining arguments against turning the US into the world's largest energy producer.
On August 21, 1986, possibly as the result of a landslide, Lake Nyos suddenly emitted a large cloud of CO2, which suffocated 1,700 people and 3,500 livestock in nearby towns and villages.
A few minutes of web research should explain the difference between putting CO2 into an oil-producing formation about 3000' deep and a lake in Africa that has become carbonated due to volcanic activity. Your research should also show that scientists placed a method to resolve this problem in 2001.
I hope that most people understand that co2 are air sans oxygen
I grew up in Bartlesville and spent a lot time exploring Osage Hills State Park.
Why would you think that fracturing using CO2 is a good idea?
Liquid is used to carry the sand. The sand is necessary to hold open the cracks after the fracturing fluid is removed. The fracturing fluid must be removed to allow the oil/gas to flow back out the well head.
Your method, if it could even work, does not sequester the CO2. It would come back out before the production would start. Methods of CO2 flood as described in this article have been used successfully in Texas for many years. CO2 flood leaves the CO2 in the reservoir.
Carbon Dioxide
Enhanced Oil Recovery
It is already used in several locations.
Air has very little CO2. It is mostly nitrogen.
Thanks for the link and the illustrations.
1. Liquid CO2 would carry sand just as easily as any other liquid.
2. CO2 can't contaminate groundwater.
3. CO2 can be easily separated from the nat gas and reused.
4. Process would use far less water and produce far less liquid waste.
Did you ever jump into Sand Creek off the cliff?
I live in Osage country....and there's quite a bit of drilling going on...of late.
Sorry, should have pinged you, too. I'm a former OS resident, graduated from Fairfax in 1973, mom passed in 2007 so I've not really spent any time there recently.
If you represented a volume of air with a 10,000 seat football stadium, CO2 molecules would be in only 3 seats.
No worries....you don't know me. And how could you know I live in Osage Country?
Good Gawd...what will the tree's breathe????
No, but I camped out on Sand Creek as a Boy Scout.
Thought I'd seen you make reference to it before but I may just be operating from your screen name.
Anyway...there's a bluff on the creek at O.H.S.P. that my oldest kid and I jumped off long time ago now...Twas fun!
You may want to learn a little more about C02 and the temperature/pressure required to stay at a liquid.
Sending freezing liquid, even if you could keep it from solidifying, into a Petroleum reservoir would thicken the hydrocarbons limiting the flow of the CO2. If you do start at a liquid phase on the ground, the initial cracking would enlarge the volume, creating pressure drop and solidifying the CO2 stopping the growth of the cracks, which is the whole point of fracturing process. Water is used for this method because of the very low compressible property of the fluid.
2. CO2 cant contaminate groundwater.
Neither does hydraulic fracturing. The contamination cases have all been linked to casing failures. Those would result in contamination regardless of fracturing methods.
3. CO2 can be easily separated from the nat gas and reused.
There is significant expense in doing so. I've been part of the design team for such facilities. And you have accomplished nothing to appease the global warming crowd as you have not sequestered the CO2.
4. Process would use far less water and produce far less liquid waste.
Since item one makes it all unworkable, that is a mute point. And also your claimed method only uses a more difficult fluid to handle and maintain, the problem is more complicated.

Big fan of Lyric/Anthem.
I previously asked a Caleb question about the rubber ring in the middle of the Anthem mic hanging slightly off the bridge plate due to the location of bridge pins and the size of the plate itself.
Took the plunge; carefully removed the mic, reset it just in front of the bridge plate (touching nothing but the top, and re-installed the clip to keep the lead <leed> wire off the wood.)
MORE PERFECT! Clearer treble, Ringier. less e.q.'ing needed. Better balance. LOUDER!
The Lyric rubber ring in Dag (my Santa Cruz "Stock OM" guitar) sits all the way on the plate. It's perfect. I'm not gonna fuss with it. But, I can't help wondering...
