Mourning Star program in danger of closing
PALM DESERT, Calif. - The death of a loved one is painful for any family. But when it comes to children, parents and caregivers face the struggle of helping them grieve. Hundreds of people across the southland turn to Mourning Star.
Andrew Etto's father died three years ago, and Mourning Star helped him get through it. But, funding for the grief support group got cut, and closed its doors.
"I miss my daddy. Please don't take away our grieving group too," said 6-year-old Andrew Etto.
With posters, chants and waves, more than two dozen families hope to bring it back to life.
The Visiting Nurse Association funded the $250,000 program for almost a decade, but now, can't pay for it.
"It made me feel really angry and sad. It was something we really loved and I didn't say bye," said 12-year-old Steven Loza.
Steven and Zachary Loza's dad, Ronald Loza, passed away from a heart attack. Their family and at least 200 others across the Coachella Valley, 600 across the southland, depend on the program.
"We don't have funds to get paid professional counseling, this is our light at the end of the tunnel," said Sis Loza, Steven's grandmother.
"It feels like we lost another family member, like another death. It's the place when things are hard you're going to Mourning Star to feel empowered," said Jennifer Loza, Steven's mother. "We are in desperate need for the community to gather together to find funding for it so our kids have some place to go."
"It's something you don't realize you need until it's too late," said Zachary Loza, 20.
"It's helped thousands of kids, and it could help a thousand more, that's our goal," said Nikkola Etto, of Bermuda Dunes.

Bay-to-Table Adventure at an Oregon Coast Inn
Harborview Inn & RV Park • Garibaldi, OR
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Queen Room, Sundays Through Thursdays ($59) or Fridays or Saturdays ($79), from Now to December 31, 2015
- One Cup of Local Clam Chowder at Garibaldi's Hook, Line 'n Sinker Sports Bar and Grill
- One Dessert at Pacific Restaurant
- One Cup of Coffee with Breakfast Purchase at Irish's Mooring Cafe
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
- After Purchase, Follow Your Voucher's Redemption Instructions to Complete Your Reservation
A bayside stay at this cheery motel involves plenty of fresh seafood—like the local clam chowder—and coastal Oregon charm.
The Destination
Wedged between lush coastal mountains and the vast Tillamook Bay, the town of Garibaldi is classic Oregon: laid-back, outdoorsy, and serious about food and drink. Though only 900 people—many of whom get by on the town's long-standing tradition as a fishing village—claim permanent residence here, many more make their way from Portland, just 80 miles east, to enjoy the slow pace of life, the natural beauty of the region, and some of the best seafood, cheese, and wine anywhere on the Oregon Coast.
The Digs
Set on the Port of Garibaldi and surrounded by Tillamook Bay, Harborview Inn & RV Park is a locally owned and operated 18-room boutique inn and RV park that's loaded with seaside charm and rich in hospitality. Freshly renovated, individually appointed rooms are equipped with a queen-size bed, Wi-Fi, a refrigerator, a microwave, a coffeemaker, and a flat-screen cable TV. Best of all, the inn is located just 300 feet from the boat launch and the water's edge, and just ten miles from Tillamook Cheese Factory and Blue Heron French Cheese Company.
The Diversions
Here on Tillamook Bay, locals call it the Bay-to-Table Movement: pulling crabs and clams out of the ocean with your own two hands, cooking them up, and eating them warm right out of the shell. Everything you need to go crabbing or clamming is right here, including licenses, equipment, bait, personal instruction from a licensed guide, cleaning and cooking areas, and year-round crabbing and clamming clinics. There are even two public crabbing docks and clamming beds—populated with all five varieties of Bay clams—within walking distance of the Harborview Clubhouse.
The Details
• Taxes and resort fees are not included—you'll pay those directly to the property
• Ask when booking about upgrading to a two-queen or pet-friendly room for additional fees
The rooms were so gorgeous, and it was wonderful to lay in bed and look out over the bay. As for the staff, they were very nice, professional, helpful, and friendly. We will definitely come back.-- LivingSocial Member

Well, I did something that most people would probably think I'm crazy in doing. I sold my Brommeland Max-Con V & got a Garrity Triskel for my 1911 LW Commander (Para LW LTC).
Because of the 1911 MOA being different than every other gun I carry/use, I don't CC it much, if at all. So, I wanted a holster that I could use for OWB, as well as IWB if I wanted to. So, I ran across a used Triskel for a good price, tried it out, then sold my Max-Con V.
I must say that for me (& me ONLY), the Triskel's actually more comfortable at IWB. Plus the clips work real well with my Liger belts & they're easier on/off.
So, I'm curious, does anybody else out there use a Garrity Triskel?

The 'Course' in MOOC
Abel Caine wrote, "I have to intervene with the developing country perspective. Millions of smart, motivated children/students for many reasons do not complete regular school or university. Given the opportunity, these learners have a burning desire to 'complete' the course. "Well-designed and smartly-delivered" MOOCs with a valid, transferable certificate of completion (learning experience) may be 1 viable solution. I hope new global initiatives such as Education First will take this into account."
Andy Lane wrote, "Yes participants whether they complete or not can gain from the experience but we also know that many can be adversely affected by the experience through a sense of failure or lack of esteem. I have no issue with low completion rates as long as people do not claim that this is widening participation amongst the currently disenfranchised as I suspect most who complete MOOCs are already adept learners with plenty of privileges. At the UKOU we have struggled to support those suffering multiple deprivations in terms of access to education and the resources needed to support that education."
With respect to cMOOCs, the student experience is more like joining a community than working their way through a body of content. In this sense, the concept of course completion doesn't really make sense - what is it to 'complete' joining a community? You are more or less engaged with the community; you are more or less engaged with the material.
John Sener wrote, "I agree with Stephen's observations in that it is unrealistic to expect high completion rates from MOOCs because of their structure. However, this structural characteristic is one of several reasons why MOOCs are better seen through the lens of open learning resources rather than open educational resources IMO. Perhaps the "C" in MOOC should be changed to mean "Community" in that case, because the concept of "course" does imply a sense of completion, i.e., something > with a beginning and an end which is determined by an entity besides the learner. (Or change the name to MOOLE where LE = Learning Experience.)"
Here's why the C in MOOC continues to stand for 'Course'. A MOOC typically has a fixed start and end date. Between those dates there is a fixed series of events. I characterize them has being similar to a 'course of lectures' in the traditional sense (eg. http://archive.org/details/lecturescourseof02younrich ). Today, of course, they're not necessarily lectures any more. But the idea of a series of events structured around a topic continues. Hence, a MOOC is a 'course'. But again, it doesn't make sense to talk about 'completing' a MOOC, even if it is structured around a series of events, because again, like a community, you can dip into these events as much or as little as you want.
It's like watching a TV series. We don't typically talk about 'completing' a TV series (though you can do that if you want; last year I watched all 134 episodes of Xena; I 'completed' the series (it took me half a year)). Even if there is a story arc across the seasons of a series, we typically feel satisfied watching an episode at a time, and enjoy chatting about the episide with our friends. We do not - nor should we - feel we have somehow been deficient if we miss an episode; we can always go back to it or (eventually) pick it up on Netflix.
John Sener wrote a longish post saying, among other things, "Education requires societally-defined expectations (at worst, imposed one way; at best, negotiated between the learner and society through its proxy institutions), but if "you can dip into these events as much or as little as you want," then that's learning -- user-defined and driven. Non-user-defined learning outcomes mean a less open, less MOOC-like experience.
"Calling MOOCs courses also fosters an expectation of moving through an entire "series of events structured around a topic" to an end which involves recognition (certification, grades, etc.) of completion based on satisfactory demonstrated performance of something gained (knowledge, skills, attitudes, etc.) related to that topic, and usually a comprehensive or broad rather than selective mastery of that topic."
John's post has two major objectives. First, it seeks to establish a certain definition of 'course' and 'education'. And then it uses those definitions to argue that MOOCs should not be called courses, and that people do not obtain an education from them.
The basis for these definitions of 'course' and 'education', according to John, is that the terms create certain expectations - the use of 'course' suggests they will be like what he calls 'traditional courses', and the term 'education', he writes, " requires societally-defined expectations."
I do not accept these definitions of 'course' and 'education', and John has not offered any compelling reason to accept them, except that he suggests people have these expectations. Perhaps some people have these expectations, but clearly not everybody does.
This is especially the case with the term 'education'. John suggests it entails " requires substantive interaction with designated knowledgeable facilitators (instructors, TAs, field experts, etc.)." But few, if any, define education in terms of the process; they define it in terms of the achievement. And this achievement need not involve tests and certificates. When Abraham Lincoln taught himself to read and write and to be a lawyer, we say he earned himself an education, not a learning.
And it is also the same for the term 'course'. I have already given an account of the traditional meaning of the word course, and this traditional meaning in no way entailed classes and lessons and tests and certificates. The formalized concept of the course is a recent invention, designed for a specific purpose, and today obsolete.
What MOOCs have demonstrated is twofold, and these speak directly to our understanding of how we may obtain an education, and how we may be recognized for it:
First, MOOCs taught us that rather than depend exclusively on "knowledgeable facilitators (instructors, TAs, field experts, etc.)," which are very expensive, a community working together can support itself. This is in fact how professionals further their own education, is common practice in existing instututions of higher learning, and now possible to the larger population via self-organized online communities (especially those formed around a series of learning events).
Second, MOOCs taught us that an education - properly so-called - may be obtained in this manner, and the learning thus obtained demonstrated and recognized via the production of artifacts and actions related to the subject of the learning; there is no prior set of learning objectives nor formal test (both of which can be, and routinely are, subverted) but rather a mechanism of recognition via participation.
These features satisfy quite well the meaning and usage of the terms 'course' and 'education', and they do so in a way which not only empowers students and enables them to design their own education, it does so in a way such that all members of society, and not merely those with wealthy and supportive parents, can engage and learn in the most challenging and professional environment possible,
Indeed, I would turn John's argument on its head. I challenge that the artificial forms we have come in recent decades to call 'courses' and an 'education' are outright fabrications, plasticized facsimiles of the real thing to be offered at the greatest fee the market will bear to an unwitting public, while those who can afford it continue to have their much less formal and much more rewarding education at elite institutions.
What you have when you assemble an education filled with structured courses, formalized exams, and high-priced credentials, is a potemkin village, a cargo cult experience in which people attending Your City High School or the University of Your State act out as though they were graduating Eton or Radcliffe and Harvard or Yale but merely go though the motions, obtain a piece of paper, and move on with their lives not realizing they have been cheated out of what could have been a worthwhile education.
Ask anyone. Ask them what they valued from school and university: was it the learning objectives, midterm tests, and the accumulation of course credits? Or was it working on the student newspaper, participating in drama society, organizing a rally, or setting up a student enterprise? Or even leaving it all on the sprts field or spending it all at the student pub!
No, I do not yield the ground regading the terms 'course' and 'education'. I take them back from the institution, and I return them to the people.
4 comments:
While I don't disagree that the term "course" is a construct, I think we have to recognize that all such terms can be viewed as constructs and fabrications. What is the "real thing" except what members of certain communities of discourse agree to call it? John's argument from historical precedent does not entail artificiality in any unusual sense(indeed, what does that mean if we agree that language is a mechanism for humans to share constructs, all of which must be invented at some point?) I think your argument that we could extend the meaning of the word course to include experiences had in MOOCs, but the onus to define courses this ways might actually be on your proposed extension to this new form, which does not comply fully with previous word meaning. In other words, I could argue that a dog is a cat and that others who have called a cat a cat are engaged in artificial invention of the cat construct and have always been doing that. But I think it would be legitimate for user of the previous cat meaning to call me out on my new use. Again, I'm not here to say that the current system is the right system, that's for all to decide. But it doesn't help to say that the current system is "artificial" when compared to the newly invented system. In fact, if the authentic experience of traditional education is extra-curricular (as your post suggests) then MOOCs don't provide it (where is the MOOC pub, or MOOC school newspaper, or MOOC sports field?)ReplyDeleteReplies
I think the disagreement is in the significance of John's historical precedent. The appearance of these recent definitions don't preclude that a "course" and an "education" can be much bigger than the narrow definitions he tries to rope them into. Even in dealing with constructs, changing the denotation or meaning of the words in this context creates an expansion of what we can connotate or associate with the significance of getting an education.Delete
The new system is artificial, as are all systems, and choosing a system which provides the widest access to the experience of the "essence" of learning is the goal of expanding the definition. His last point about the extra-curriculars are just there to point out that the value of the "traditional" education system which John is defending is not necessarily in the "traditional" course, but in the connection that takes place on and around the campus, which dovetails nicely with the methodology of the cMOOC.
MOOCs have been around for a few years as collaborative techie learning events, but this is the year everyone wants in. Elite universities are partnering with Coursera at a furious pace. It now offers courses from 33 of the biggest names in postsecondary education, including Princeton, Brown, Columbia and Duke.ReplyDelete
I wrote a response to this back in October, but it wasted away in my drafts folder until now: http://mathdancing.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/education-vs-learning-vs-courses/ReplyDelete
I started out writing a comment, but it quickly became clear that it was a little unwieldy for a comment.

A Promising Start for Bush's Disability Agenda
By John M. Williams
On Feb. 1, George W. Bush did something not seen at the White House since Franklin D. Roosevelt was Chief Executive. The new President sat at a special, 37-inch-high podium designed for wheelchair users. That adaptation put him at eye level with Steve Tingus, director of Resource Development for California Foundation for Independent Living Centers, and Alan Reich, president of the National Organization for Disability. Both men, like Roosevelt, use wheelchairs.
With that one gesture, President Bush told me a lot about his commitment to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the landmark law signed by his father in 1990. In the East Room of the White House, Bush -- in only the second week of his term -- pledged that he would ask Congress to approve his so-called New Freedom Initiatives, which he unveiled on June 15, 2000, in Portland, Maine. (See BW Online, 6/21/00, "Bush Offers a 'New Republican' Message for the Disabled"). "These proposals will help ensure that all Americans with disabilities have the tools to use their skills and make more of their own choices," the self-styled compassionate conservative declared.
Now comes the true test of Bush's resolve to be a different kind of Republican. He must put more money and resources behind his initiative, and he will have to push Congress to follow through. The New Freedom proposals wouldn't be the first well-intentioned bill sent to Congress by a President that somehow lost its way on Capitol Hill. Politicians love to announce grand designs, only to watch them wither as lawmakers clash over details. Look at health-care reform. Look at campaign-finance reform.
But something has changed since the campaign, and it bodes well for Bush's plan: The response from the disability community has been enthusiastic and optimistic. There was open skepticism in some quarters before the election about Bush's commitment to improving the lives of people with disabilities. Most groups viewed his proposals as lip service: He was trying to one-up Vice-President Al Gore, a longtime stalwart on disability issues, or so the talk went.
Not anymore. Andy Imparato, president and CEO of the Washington (D.C.)-based American Association for Persons with Disabilities, now says: "The fact that President Bush is doing this action so early in his Administration shows how important this effort is to him. This is a great start." Justin Dart, an advocate in the disability community who also served in Ronald Reagan's so-called "kitchen Cabinet," told me: "The President will get the support of the disability community."
The program would commit federal dollars to more research for developing assistive technology, provide low-interest loans so people with disabilities can buy assistive-technology products, mandate new accommodations for public transportation, buildings, and places of worship. It would also amend the Section 8 rental-voucher program, administered by the Housing & Urban Development Dept., to permit people with disabilities to use up to a year's worth of vouchers to finance the down payment on a house.
The estimated price tag for this effort is $1.03 billion. Spread out over five years, that's about $200 million annually. While I applaud the effort, the amount pales in comparison beside the $150 billion that the federal and state governments spend every year to keep millions of people with disabilities as dependents and wards of the state. The federal government is now looking at a surplus in excess of $4 trillion.
One billion dollars over five years? Come on! Let's put some real money into this effort. President Bush should strike while the iron is hot -- earmarking $3 billion to $5 billion annually over the next five years. He could finance the program by not proceeding with some of his proposed tax cuts. And the financial commitment could help literally hundreds of thousands of disabled people find jobs and become tax-paying citizens.
The President will also ask Congress for additional funding for special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. That law says Congress should supply at least 40% of the funds required annually by states to provide mainstream programs and special education for school children with disabilities. The current funding is 13%. Governors have been pushing Congress to meet its financial obligations. (See BW Online, 1/24/00, "One-on-One with Jesse Ventura"). The President should meet the 40% goal -- and then some. Why not a goal of 50%?
Sizing up the proposal, Paul Marchand, executive director of the Association for Retarded Citizens, says: "When you look at the substantives of the initiatives, there is nothing you can argue with. This is all stuff that is central to the disability agenda."
On Capitol Hill, there is strong bi-partisan support for the initiatives. Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) says: "This is a good beginning, and we will proceed in incremental steps." Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) declares: "Both sides of the aisle will support the program. I look forward to working with the Administration on it." Representative Jim Langevin (D-R.I.), who uses a wheelchair, says: "I like what I heard. I know the House will support the principles of the program."
Feb. 1 would have been an even better day had the President signed executive orders directing federal agencies to swiftly implement the Ticket to Work Act and the 1999 U. S. Supreme Court Olmstead decision, which ruled that states must give people the services they need in their homes and communities, rather than putting them into nursing homes and other institutions. The President promised to sign these two executive orders during the campaign.
Bush has now made it clear that he fully supports the legacy of his father, and he stands strongly behind empowering people to improve their lives. His initiatives are a great beginning. Now comes the hard part.

Here's why:
This project all started when I saw these beautiful chocolate butterflies on Pioneer Woman about a year ago & I finally had a opportunity to try them out for myself. With a little construction twist of my own, of course. :)
The book will give it the realistic wing span.
By the way, these hold up best when you use the as soon as they are hard! :)
Hope you LOVE it & give it a try yourself! They make great cake toppers! (just make sure the weather isn't too hot!)

|By Serge Schmemann
The three men stood about twenty-five yards from each other along the Ben Yehuda promenade in Jerusalem, one dressed as a woman. One probably gave a signal, maybe a nod of the head, and all three tripped switches that detonated crude bombs hidden under their clothes—about five pounds of explosives each, packed with nuts and bolts to act as shrapnel.
Already when the first "whump" sounded, many people instinctively knew what it was. Fighter jets routinely break the sound barrier over Jerusalem, but they sound more like a thunderclap. Still, people will freeze until they hear the fading rumble that confirms a jet. The bombs have a different sound, a muffled, nearby thump. People who have heard one recognize it immediately. Even before the second and third explosions sounded on September 4, 1997, many people felt the gruesome familiarity of the sound.
I was on my way to pick my wife up at the school where she worked and had just crossed Ben Yehuda when I heard the blasts. Though I had never heard the sound before, I also knew what it was. In two years in Israel, I had covered the aftermath of nine suicide bombings, and, like everyone else, I was always waiting for the next. I also knew what would happen next. First the cautious pause—terrorists have been known to wait until emergency services congregate to set off another bomb. Then the screams of the wounded and the horrified, the sirens, the chaotic convergence of medics, police, detectives, soldiers, and black-bearded Orthodox Jews who collect every bit of Jewish flesh and bone for a proper burial. Cellular service is overwhelmed, and people search frantically for available phones to reassure their homes.
And everyone there feels that horrible helplessness, that empty rage. "It's almost a sense that this is a fact of life we have to live with," said a young lawyer, Jonathan Shiff, watching the commotion from his window above Ben Yehuda. "It's no way to live, but we do it anyway," interjected a woman standing alongside us.
A suicide bombing is unlike any other act of violence. There is no real defense against an attack that is essentially random, or against a man—all suicide bombers in Israel have been men—so crazed by religion and despair that he is prepared to die. In the communiqués that followed, Hamas, the fundamentalist Islamic movement, described the bombers as martyrs and soldiers. But really, they were only suicides and killers. The twelve-year-old girl slain by their bombs was not a soldier, nor an enemy. Nor were the other victims, a man and two women.
By its very design and purpose, terrorism is a violation of all norms of behavior, law, and combat. Its objective is to demoralize, dehumanize, humiliate, and horrify through acts of random and demonstrative viciousness.
And almost instinctively, the human spirit fights back by reaffirming the very spirit that terror seeks to erode. Within hours the streets were clean of blood and glass, and by morning thousands of Israelis, many from far away, defiantly strolled along Ben Yehuda, filling it with resolve and life.

I had Radiesse injections 5 weeks ago. The left cheek looks great (now) after severe bruising & swelling but the right cheek drops off at the cheek bone & is not quite as full as the left cheek. I don't want to add more Radiesse & have read that some doctors use Juvederm Ultra Plus or Restylane to float over the Radiesse to create a more blended/finished look? Is this a safe practice? Am I flirting with disaster by trying to fix the slight unevenness in the cheeks?
Should Fix Slightly Uneven Cheeks Due to Radiesse?
Doctor Answers 2
You can fix the asymmetry with the same or different filler
It is not uncommon to use more than one filler in the same general area and is safe when performed by an experienced injector.
A hyaluronic acid filler such as Perlane, Restylane, Juvederm Ultra or Ultra Plus can be used to feather out your cheek contour. Typically there is less bruising with these as it doesn't require as large a needle as the thicker Radiesse.
So, if the asymmetry bothers you, then it's okay to go ahead and fix it with the same or a different filler.

Lee Soon Jae Wins Best Actor Award at Major Chinese Film Awards
Veteran actor Lee Soon Jae won the best actor award for his role in the film Late Blossom at the China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, one of the most prestigious movie awards in Chinese-speaking world.
The movie, Late Blossom, remained top 10 in box office results for nine consecutive weeks when it was released on February 17 in Korea.
Lee Soon Jae who has been showing his profound acting ability both on the big and small screen since his debut in 1956, won the award from foreign movie awards for the first time during his 55-year-long acting career.
The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards is one of the three major film awards in the region along with the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards, and the Hong Kong Film Awards. The mainland China′s film awards are notable as it combines both expertises and popularity, as the award recipients are selected by a panel of expert judges and the general public, who votes through a Chinese movie magazine.
Other Korean winners include Jo Seung Woo, who won the best actor award for his role in Marathon in 2006 and Kim Hye Ja, who won the best actress award for her role in Mother in 2009.
It is more meaningful that Lee Soo Jae took home the award with his role in a movie, which dealt with a rare subject material, elderly love, in a film industry that predominantly features films with young movie stars.
An official from the Chinese film festival stated, "Lee Soon Jae, who is well-known for his role as the father of Daebal (a role in a hit drama, What's Love, met Chinese fans again as a hero of a wonderful movie. He struck all judges in the panel with admiration with his natural and artistic acting. We're pleased because we unanimously chose him as the best actor award winner."
Lee Soon Jae who was honored with the best actor award for the first time in 34 years since the Baeksang Awards in 1977, became the oldest winner of the Chinese movie awards.
The actor stated, "I never thought I'd win. What a surprise. I'd like to thank the judges and the audience for inviting the movie and giving it good reviews. I would be glad if this movie could be of a little help in introducing Korean movie to the world, including China."
He continued, "I thought it would be hard for an actor from television dramas to be awarded a prize at film awards. I'm very pleased to win this unexpected important award at a foreign film awards. I have received the best entertainer award and achievement award before, but I'm happier and more thrilled to receive the best actor award for the role in a melodramatic movie."

Yoga and Sacred Geometry - Part 1
Ahimsa Yoga on Yale
Saturday, March 9, 2013 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Part 1: Strengthening Uddiyana Bandha
The practice of yoga asana is a method by which we can harmonize our mind with our body. In his book, "Yoga And Sacred Geometry", Samuel Palmer shows how the structure and movement of the human body is based on sacred geometric principles, as are all structures in the universe. By aligning our awareness with these simple patterns, our practice will become more precise and much more effective, allowing us to progress much more quickly and safely. One of the most important features of asana practice is the use of the Uddiyana Bandha. In this specialized class, students will learn how correct use of this ancient technique is based on a truly advanced level of biomechanical awareness, and can be thoroughly understood through the insights of sacred geometry.
About Samuel: Samuel Palmer has been practicing yoga steadily since 1993, beginning his practice at the age of 14. During these early years, he used yoga to battle his condition of scoliosis. His unwavering dedication to the practice led him to discover hidden physical talents that eventually would culminate in a career in performing arts. In 2004 he began training in ballet and went on to perform as a dancer and as an aerialist/contortionist with a variety of performance troupes including the Royal Ballet of London, Blue Lapis Light Aerial Dance Company, and the Jim Rose Circus. As his practice continued to develop, he became interested in revealing the underlying principles of yoga and making its powerful transformation potential more understood and available to everyone. He has written two books that provide an in depth look at his unique methods and insights, which he has used to heal from a variety of injuries and physical setbacks. His newest book, "Yoga And Sacred Geometry" shows the underlying geometry of the human body that is common to all structures in the universe, and how this information can inform our yoga practice, showing us clearly how to reach our fullest potential as yoga practitioners.

EXCLUSIVE: Jeff Eastin, creator/executive producer of the USA Network series White Collar and Graceland, has signed with ICM Partners after being at CAA for more than a decade. Eastin has an overall deal at Fox TV Studios, which produces White Collar, set to end its run at some point with a six-episode sixth season. Graceland is now in its second season that premiered this month. Eastin's credits also include NBC's short-lived 2004 cop series Hawaii, and writing the 1999 pic Held Up starring Jamie Foxx and the screenplay for the perpetually in-limbo True Lies 2. He continues to be repped by attorney Karl Austin.
'White Collar' Creator Jeff Eastin Signs With ICM Partners

Graceland is a show where you could watch every episode and not remember a single thing about it.
I disagree. Sometimes I remember how lousy it was.
Looking forward to the upcoming season of White Collar. Congrats, ICM!!
ICM's new logo is UGH.
Great move for one of the best showrunners in town and top tv lit agents. With a clientele like Mark Gordon's, i.e. Vince Gilligan and John Shiban (just to name a few) this seems like a logical pairing. Can't wait to see what's next from Jeff Eastin!
Great move for one of the best showrunners in town and top tv lit departments! With clients like Vince Gilligan, David Shore, John Shiban, etc. seems like a logical pairing. Can't wait to see what's next from Jeff Eastin!
Graceland is fresh, much better than a typical cop show; more interesting than most other shows in the same category. Jeff is an interesting person, I cant wait to see more stuff from him.
He HAD one of the best agents in the biz….now it's like he's buying a ticket on the titanic. Weird dumb move
It's a real shame that White Collar has to end on a 6 episode shortened final season. The show is wonderful and the cast flowed so well together. The beauty of the show was the characters, (not attention to detail and follow through). The pilot which JE wrote is one of my all time favorites. I am happy for Jeff and wish him success in the future. Still wish the USAnetwork and Jeff would have invested in a full last season of White Collar. Honestly a S7&8 would have been even better.
A win for ICM and a win for Jeff Eastin!
Good move on the part of both! It will be a great match!
Very interested to see how this develops. Maybe the new agent can help him make True Lies 2 a reality. Congrats to one of the coolest showrunners I know. May this new move serve you well.
Jeff Eastin has repeatedly claimed he was the Director of Photography on two Roger Corman films, White Fury and Lock and Load, but research finds Mr. Corman had nothing do with either. Both were made by a knock-off company called Action International Pictures, and not Mr. Corman's iconic production company American International Pictures. So why the lie, and what else has Eastin lied about?
Blaaaaa, I could care less about those other series, I want White Collar to continue for several more seasons. Fox always take the best of the best off, they make me so angry. They took fringe off and it was great now white collar, boooooooo to you Fox.

Will the Fat Cells Stay Gone or Do They Eventually Come Back?
Doctor Answers 6
They don't come back unless you gain a lot of weight
Web reference: https://www.edelsteincosmetic.com/
Liposuction and fat cells
The current theory is that the removed fat cells never regenerate. However, the remaining fat cells can grow or enlarge if you overeat and/or gain weight. I encourage my patients to try to maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep their weight within 5 to 10 lbs of their weight at the time of the liposuction.
Liposuction and fat removal
I assume that you are talking about fat cells after liposuction. Fat cells that are removed do not come back in that area that were suctioned.
You might also like...
Liposuction removes the fat cells but leaves some intact
Liposuction purposely never removes all the fat cells as this would create an unsatisfactory cosmetic result. The fat cells that are left can overenlarge if your diet were to consume more fat than it should.
Liposuction and Fat Cells
Liposuction removes fat cells. However, the remaining cells can still grow if you gain weight. So liposuction is a contouring procedure. However, it DOES NOT PREVENT YOU FROM GAINING WEIGHT. You still need to have healthy diet and continue exercise. Liposuction is a "second chance" at having a nice body. Good luck.

Tracy Chapman made quite a stir with her first album in 1988. With her soulful, Joan Armatrading-like voice and poignant songs full of artfully rendered social realism, she represented a strong new voice in the singer-songwriter realm. That album's hit "Fast Car" became her signature song. Though Chapman never equalled her debut's success, she's continued putting out thoughtful, emotionally honest records over the years, and her commercial profile got a boost with the surprise bluesy hit "Give Me One Reason" in 1996.
There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
No Description Available.Genre: Popular MusicMedia Format: Compact DiskRating: Release Date: 1-JAN-2002
One of the most striking debut albums ever released, this disc instantly established Chapman as a musical force, and with good reason. Immediacy, integrity of purpose, and unqualified artistry are apparent in nearly every song. And while "Fast Cars" remains Chapman's best-known work, "Talkin' Bout a Revolution" is that rarest breed: a song which is both topical and timeless. Any exploration into Chapman's work should begin with this at times stunning effort; it's a disc of remarkable uniformity and clarity that Chapman has yet to improve on. --Wayne Pernu

Six-part Panorama of San Francisco from San Francisco Album: Photographs of the Most Beautiful Views and Public Buildings of San Francisco

In his 1856 San Francisco Album, publisher George R. Fardon included six photographs that form an incomplete panorama of the city. Fardon positioned the plates randomly in his book rather than in topographical order. A missing plate completes the view. The seven-part version was printed before Fardon compiled his album, perhaps before the glass negative for the absent plate was broken or lost. This suggests that Fardon did not create the negatives himself, but acquired them later, apparently not knowing they formed a panorama.

There are a number of technical changes to the law in this bill.
However, IMHO, the most important are 1) that you can submit your application (resident) by mail and 2) that "No information or documentation other than that which is allowed on the application in accordance with this subsection may be requested or required by the clerk or the court." That's not a problem in the county where I live. However, in NOVA, Tidewater, and the Richmond area both issues have been a hassle in some jurisdictions.
Now the wait to see is the Governor walks the talk. If so, come July 1 things will get easier for some of the folk who live here in Virginia.

Details and Benefits
Process Components
Closing the Loop
Balance the conflicting priorities of ensuring attainment of on-time delivery targets while balancing the inventory investment.
Despite substantial investments, for many companies, inventory levels remain high, representing a huge drain on operations' performance. Why? The key to a breakthrough in inventory management is to empower the organization as a whole to be more responsive to change. When supply chain decision makers are empowered with capabilities that deliver global supply chain visibility, improved planning, risk trade-off, and response management, they are able to leverage inventory assets more efficiently and make more effective inventory management decisions for the company.RapidResponse Inventory Management ensures you have the right inventories, at the right place, at the right time, to drive improved margins, minimize inventory levels, and avoid excess and shortage conditions. For Kinaxis customers, inventory management is neither a niche issue, nor a onetime project — it is a continuous value-driven activity.
Tailored for Your Business
RapidResponse applications are based on best-practices and standard process flows established by our years of successful deployments at a multitude of world-leading manufacturers. The out-of-the-box Inventory Management application enables quick implementations and also acts as an advanced starting point for a tailored solution that meets your company's unique needs.
The Added Value of Integrated Applications
Among the greatest advantages of any given RapidResponse application is the ability to leverage it in conjunction with other applications as part of a broader, integrated solution. Depending on the need, significant added benefits can be achieved by using the Inventory Management software application alongside one or more related applications to ensure synchronization across interrelated planning processes. Companies that use the Inventory Management application can achieve advantages and broader value by using it with connected applications such as (but not limited to):
Functional Capabilities
Managing Performance
In addition to the standard corporate measures of revenue, margin, on-time delivery and constraint utilization, metrics associated specifically with inventory management are also included in the application's out-of-the-box dashboards. This allows for focused management of the performance measures that are most applicable to the function at hand.
Added measures presented in the Inventory Management dashboard include:
The following graphic illustrates the out-of-the-box Inventory Management application process. This process can be tailored to meet your company's specific business needs.
Closing the Loop between inventory management and your erp system
The Inventory Management application has the ability to 'close the loop' on data to the transactional system (ERP), whereby you can send data that is created/edited within RapidResponse back to the transactional system automatically.
Many Kinaxis customers import data from several disparate ERP systems within their network to support a single integrated view of their supply chain, against which they can simulate various business conditions, including how inventories are managed across the enterprise. The integrated data defines the supply chain network and supports a view of the complete supply and demand picture across all defined site boundaries. A change in demand or supply at any level invokes all of the imbedded ERP analytics, including safety stock and order policies. This provides immediate visibility to the impact of change on inventory, and reveals opportunities to avoid excess and shortage conditions. If inventory polices are out of date, you will immediately understand what needs to be reviewed. Any changes can then be incorporated back in the ERP system to ensure planning parameters are up to date in order to meet or exceed inventory targets.
Our finished goods inventory was reduced by 20% within 3 months of deploying RapidResponse.

In the News
Fairlight is exhibiting at IBC 2016, from September 9th to September 13th
The first showing for Fairlight's modular audio routing and distribution system that include analogue, digital, MADI and SDI modules. Also new is the choice of card frames, with 3RU, 1RU and desktop versions.
See Fairlight's range of converged audio production consoles, switchable between Live and Post modes. Handling 250 channels in Live mode, and up to 1000 tracks in Post mode, mixing to immersive 3D sound with AirPan control and support for formats like Dolby's Atmos, these FPGA-powered consoles deliver flexibility with no compromise in performance.
Fairlight clarifies position as buyer for pro-audio portfolio sought
PSN Europe, July 2016
Fairlight.AU has clarified its operational situation, following last week's announcement (reported elsewhere) that the Australian company is actively seeking a buyer for its professional audio technology. Read more
Product Spotlight: Broadcast Consoles
Hot Desks – As broadcasters look to hone their workflow efficiency and demonstrate greater creativity and collaboration, manufacturers are under increased pressure to provide the most technologically advanced solutions on the market. Demand for connectivity is high, so who can those in the industry turn to for answers?
Audio Media International/April 2016
As all eyes in the broadcast industry turn to NAB later this month, we asked a number of leading manufacturers if they'd noticed any recent shifts in the market for broadcast consoles and what they thought the key priorities would be for 2016…
Future History
Fairlight has a proud legacy upon which it can draw, but instead the company is focused squarely on the future.
Pro Audio Asia, January/February 2016
The Fairlight of today cannot be so easily defined and instead requires closer attention. Its current voyage of exploration is pushing the boundaries of 3D sound as a key component for the future of audio, as well as looking to IP for audio transport.
Studio Profile: Production Consultants
A small, albeit armed-to-the-teeth recording studio in St. Louis, Missouri celebrates its 30th birthday this year, and its owner has quite a story to tell, as Colby Ramsey found out when he interviewed industry aficionado and passionate Fairlight user, Bill Schulenburg…
Audio Media International/February 2016
…Schulenburg's long-term love for the business is equalled by his love for the equipment, his biggest passion being the Fairlight, which he upgraded in 2010 to a XYNERGI system. "It works in a way that really appeals to me as a long-time sound guy, and has really justified my faith in it over the years," he explains. "It feels like sound equipment rather than a computer even though it has all the power of such. It's just fantastic for sweetening video projects and I have several clients who use me for that."
Controlling Influence
Networking? Routing? Audio consoles have been there and are doing that. And now the IP technologies making that possible have the potential to turn the sound mixing desk into a central broadcast production hub. Kevin Hilton ponders the evolution
PSNEurope/February 2016
In today's data-driven world having one device perform several, often disparate, tasks at the same time is more viable and achievable than it has ever been. IP is seen as the way forward for both audio and video in terms of combined operations but instead of concentrating on the mixing, editing and transport aspects of the technology, developers and broadcasters alike are considering what all this means for control of both production and automation. And after years of being the piece of equipment consigned to its own room and largely ignored by vision types, the sound console is well placed to become the central point in many broadcast centres.
Surveying the Field of Play
Audio Media International, November 2015
With the rise of IP-based workflows and immersive audio techniques, sports broadcasters now expect much more from their gear. David Davies explores how manufacturers are stepping up to the challenge.
AMI Consoles Guide 2016
Audio Media International, November 2015
Selecting a console in today's market is a big decision, and it pays to be clued up before committing to one. This guide is packed with professional advice, industry opinion, promotional material and a helpful directory designed to make that important choice a little easier.
Sound All Around
Virtual reality and mobile technology are leading the way for immersive sound experiences...
Audio Media International, June 2015
As early adopters of the new medium both Two Big Ears and Illustrious have had to develop the immersive audio technology in-house. This is becoming less of an issue for content creators as major DAW manufacturers recognise the need for such tools. Last year, Fairlight launched 3DAW, the company's 3D audio workspace.
Immersive Sound: New Tools of the Trade
Pro Sound News, March 31st 2015
The April, 2015 issue of Pro Sound News features a special report, Immersive Sound: New Tools Of The Trade Expanding on the report, we present further insight in this online continuation
SVG Europe's Audio Console Roundtable (part I):
Fairlight, Lawo, Salzbrenner Stagetec discuss design evolution and IP momentum
SVG Europe, March 20, 2015
Smaller, smarter, faster: audio consoles for broadcast have evolved at a rate of knots since the transition from analogue to digital got underway in earnest. With IP-based operation expected to have a dramatic impact on workflows over the next few years, it seemed like a timely moment to talk design drivers and evolving customer expectations with the leading lights of the console world.
In the first of a two-part roundtable, SVG Europe puts the questions to: Tino Fibaek, CTO at Fairlight, whose latest introductions for broadcast include the EVO.Live console; Christian Struck, senior product manager at Lawo, which makes an extensive range of broadcast-oriented solutions including the flagship mc266; and Bjorn van Munster, product manager/sales, and Sebastian Schmidt, sales manager DACH, at Salzbrenner Stagetec
Quantum Leaps
Phil Ward analyses the new regime at Fairlight as the company targets live events
PSNEurope, January 2015
FAIRLIGHT IS one of those names that strike a chord. Several chords, actually, to which 1980s pop testifies…
At Fairlight, talk now is of the next significant growth phase. " While live audio and installation is definitely a key part of our strategy, we also see significant growth opportunities in the post arena, driven to some extent by initiatives for cloud-based collaboration platforms from Adobe, Quantel and Avid."
"Live sound demands systems that are highly dependable, always available, and that have a very fast response. We're coming in to this arena with a very different attitude and a different background to a lot of the other companies in this field.
Pro Audio Boards Continue to Evolve
Vendors enhance with expanded automation capabilities, IP and improved workflows
TV Technology, January 2015
You might think that in 2015, all of the major audio console design developments are to be viewed through the rear view mirror. But you would be wrong. Demands placed on audio engineers who work in the television industry continue to escalate and the vendors who serve their needs continue to refine their products.
Consoles and Controllers for Live Sound
Mix Surveys Digital Boards with 24-Plus Channels
Mix Magazine, January 2015
Space and weight are always an issue in live sound, and manufacturers have answered the call in the latest range of mixers and controllers. This month's roundup features mid- to large-frame digital desks released since AES 2012, and includes a sidebar featuring the latest rackmount I/O and DSP boxes controllable from an iPad, laptop or touchscreen.
3D Audio Workspace explained
Resolution, November/December 2014
Fairlight has introduced 3D Audio Workspace (3DAW) as a platform for immersive and object-oriented 3D sound production. Aimed at the film and TV post production markets, 3D Audio Workspace is designed for content creators who want to improve the 3D sound audience experience. Fairlight CTO Tino Fibaek explains what 3DAW does and the thought process behind the innovation.
Q&A: Fairlight CTO Tino Fibaek on the new 3DAW platform and returning the company to 'full strength'
SVG Europe, October 2014
Showcased at IBC 2014 and due to be made available from the end of this month, Fairlight's sports-friendly 3DAW platform enables operators to use a VR-style input to position and control images in a 3D space. CTO Tino Fibaek discusses the platform's development as well as the current resurgence of Fairlight itself after a challenging couple of years.
Fairlight Launches QUANTUM.Live Table-Top Console
InBroadcast, July 2014
IBC 2014 saw Fairlight launch its QUANTUM.Live Table-Top (TT), the newest addition to Fairlight's live console family that includes the award winning EVO.Live digital audio mixing system. Also announced was Fairlight's 2nd generation Crystal Core engine (CC-2) technology. Hailed as the most powerful post production engine ever created, CC-2 incorporates 1000 tracks, 100+ output buses and 100 live inputs.
Fairlight EVO.Live First at Catholic TV Network
InBroadcast, July 2014
The CatholicTV Network in the USA has become the first customer for Fairlight's new EVO.Live audio mixing system, which won a Best of Show award when it was launched at NAB 2014.
CatholicTV is using EVO.Live for live and pre-recorded HD broadcast productions at its facility near Boston, Massachusetts. The console's unique ability to switch between live and post modes means that staff engineers can also use the desk for editing when it isn't needed for on-air applications.
The Fairlight audio part in the opening and closing of the Winter Games in Sochi 2014
Digital AV Magazine, March 2014
The Fairlight audio technology played a key role in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi 2014, performed at the Stadium of Fisht.
Fairlight EVO.Live Launch
AudioTechnology, March 2014
Fairlight has an enviable name in post production mixing, but you rarely find one of its consoles in an OB truck… more likely a Calrec, Digico or Lawo. But that may all change soon. The EVO.Live console surface is compact, making it well suited to tight situations like the OB vans, or indeed performing arts centres, churches or broadcast facilities. The console is available in different chassis or table-mount configurations.

Ann Morning
Associate Professor of Sociology
Ph.D. 2004 (Sociology) Princeton University; M.A. 1992 (International Affairs) Columbia University; B.A. 1990 (Economics & Political Science) Yale University.
Office Address:
Puck Building, Room 4118, 295 Lafayette Street New York, NY 10012
Office Hours:
Mondays, 2:00 - 4:00 PM
(212) 992-9569
Areas of Research/Interest:
Race and ethnicity, especially racial classification; multiracial population; demography; sociology of knowledge and science; immigration; economic sociology.
Research Description:
To date much of my research has focused on the historical and contemporary racial classification of groups that have not fallen neatly into the United States' traditional black / white dichotomy. In this connection, I've published work on the racial self-identification and official classification of multiracial individuals and people of South Asian descent. Currently, my research focuses on racial conceptualization--that is, on individuals' beliefs about the nature of racial difference--with a particular interest in how formal education in the social and biological sciences shapes our notions of what race is. My 2011 book "The Nature of Race" examined this topic in the U.S. context, whereas my current project extends the inquiry to Western Europe by focusing on Italians' beliefs about what distinguishes them from immigrants.

Afghan insurgents find new opening for IED attacks
FILE – This Dec. 5, 2012 file pho[auth] to shows transfer cases containing the remains of Army Spc. Tyler J. Orgaard, left case, and Army Sgt. 1st Class Darren M. Linde sit on a loader during a prayer at Dover Air Force Base, Del. According to the Department of Defense, Orgaard, 20, of Bismark, N.D., and Linde, 41, of Sidney, Mont., both died Dec. 3, 2012 in Lashkar Gah City, Helmand province, Afghanistan of wounds sustained when enemy forces attacked their unit with an improvised explosive device. The shrinking US combat role in Afghanistan has had the unwanted effect of giving insurgents more time and space to plan deadlier attacks using bigger improvised bombs. So while the number of attacks has declined, attacks are more lethal, Pentagon officials say. (AP Photo/Steve Ruark, File)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The shrinking U.S. combat role in Afghanistan has given insurgents an opening to devise and carry out deadlier attacks using bigger improvised bombs against U.S. and coalition military vehicles and bases, American officials say.
With fewer U.S. forces patrolling road networks beyond their bases — and with the grounding of eye-in-the-sky surveillance balloons known as aerostats — Taliban fighters are adapting their tactics, according to officials at a Pentagon agency that tracks attacks that use improvised explosive devices, or IEDs.
"Insurgents are able to invest more time in preparing and staging an attack, and when we see an effective attack, it tends to be more lethal to our forces," said Al Sweetser, chief of the operations analysis division at the Joint IED Defeat Organization, which has its own team of analysts on the ground in Afghanistan.
So while the number of IED attacks against U.S. and coalition troops — as well as the total casualties they cause — has declined, certain attacks can be more elaborately planned, precisely targeted and more lethal because the insurgents have time and room to prepare, Sweetser and other American officials said.
The Pentagon has invested billions of dollars to develop gadgets, such as hand-held ground-penetrating radar systems, and techniques to find IEDs before they explode and to mitigate damage from those that can't be stopped. The evolving struggle began a decade ago in Iraq with insurgent groups countering high-tech U.S. weapons with relatively cheap and surprisingly effective methods of killing and maiming. A hallmark of the insurgents' use of IEDs in Afghanistan has been their ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
A recent IED strike near the southern provincial capital of Kandahar killed five American soldiers in an armored vehicle in one of the more deadly examples of how the Taliban have taken advantage of a changing military landscape.
Insurgents took the time and effort to tunnel underground and place an unusually large improvised explosive well below the surface, said David Small, spokesman for the counter-IED agency. They also had time to plan where to position themselves to remotely detonate the bomb, Small said.
Hel said other details about the attack are classified, but it is believed the insurgents had learned through observation that reduced coalition patrolling gave them more time to plan this attack.
Among other recent incidents:
— An IED attack on a coalition base in Zabul province in April killed three soldiers from the 1st Armored Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, and wounded three others. Another attack in April killed three British soldiers.
— Five soldiers from the 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division were killed when an IED hit their Stryker vehicle in Kandahar province in May. Three other members of the same brigade were among four soldiers killed in a separate attack later that month, also in Kandahar.
— In June a suicide bomber driving a truck loaded with explosives attacked an isolated NATO base in Helmand province, killing seven Georgian soldiers and wounding nine. That was the deadliest single attack of 2013.
"These are precision attacks employing suicide, vehicle-borne and command-wire IEDs, all of which require longer planning and preparation than the more common IEDs encountered," Small said.
Afghan forces are taking the brunt of insurgent violence this year as U.S. troops pull back from a combat role to a support mission in line with plans to end the American and coalition combat role by December 2014. Yet IED attacks are taking a relatively larger toll on the smaller force that is still operating there. Deaths from IEDs alone from April through June represented 9 percent of all coalition casualties, including those wounded in action, Sweetser said. That compared to 7 percent in the same period in 2012.
Because U.S. and coalition troops are not as active beyond their bases as they had been previously, prior to the Afghans taking the lead combat role across the country, Taliban fighters "are coming to us and attacking us on our bases," Sweetser said.
A spokesman for coalition forces in Kabul, Lt. Col. Will Griffin, acknowledged the increased lethality of some attacks but said, "We don't necessarily identify that as a trend." He said a "full spectrum" of tools designed to counter the threat of IEDs is still available to coalition troops even as they shift to a back-seat role.
U.S. officials also are now grappling with a time lag in learning details about IED attacks, since the Afghans are in the combat lead and use more rudimentary means of reporting up their chain of command, Sweetser said. He said it now can take many weeks, rather than several hours, to learn details of IED attacks.
There are now about 60,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, down from 87,000 a year ago. The number is scheduled to shrink to 34,000 by February. President Barack Obama has yet to announce whether he intends to keep some number of American forces in Afghanistan after 2014 to train Afghans and to hunt extremists.
