Neal's concussion shuffles Penguins' top line
Evgeni Malkin hadn't seen James Neal since the Penguins winger suffered a concussion on a third-period power play Friday against the New York Rangers.
"I hope he comes back soon, before the playoffs," Malkin said. "I miss him."
Just as Malkin was getting accustomed to playing with Jarome Iginla on his right wing, he will have to adjust to another new linemate when he looks left.
And this one has more goals and points than Neal.
Malkin centered Iginla and 20-goal scorer Chris Kunitz on Monday at Southpointe. Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said he plans to use that as a first line during their three-game road trip.
"We immediately had some comfort level putting Chris on that line with Geno," Bylsma said. "That's what we'll definitely be seeing going forward, starting in Carolina."
The Penguins confirmed Neal has a concussion from the hit he absorbed from Rangers defenseman Michael Del Zotto, and he will not travel with the team.
Bylsma said Neal is "feeling a lot better, feeling pretty good," but called his status day to day. His absence leaves the Penguins without the NHL's top scorer in Crosby (broken jaw) and No. 8 goal scorer, Neal, who has 18.
"There's definitely a void on the ice and in the locker room," Kunitz said of Neal. "He's a guy that comes around and will chirp guys and make the room kind of light. His ability to create space for himself and shoot the puck is something that this team hasn't had in a while, a guy who can get open and has really clicked with Geno. So there's going to be maybe a little bit of a learning curve, but we'll have to fight through it."
Malkin said Kunitz has an "unbelievable shot" and expects them to move the puck and work well together.
"He's smart. He knows what's going on on the ice," Malkin said. "You just give him the puck and let him shoot and score."
On the power play, Bylsma said the Penguins will use Jussi Jokinen in Neal's spot as the shooter. Otherwise, the unit will stay the same: Kunitz will be at the front of the net with Iginla and defenseman Matt Niskanen at the point and Malkin along the half-wall.
The second power play will feature forwards Beau Bennett, Tyler Kennedy and Brenden Morrow, with either winger Pascal Dupuis and a defenseman such as Mark Eaton or a two-defense pairing, depending on how much time is left in the game.
The key will be how Malkin adapts to playing without Neal, with whom he's had great chemistry.
"He's obviously a world-class, top player," Iginla said of Malkin. "No matter what, whoever you play with, you have tendencies. We all go to different spots and do different things that we all get used to, so I think it does take a little bit of time, no matter who you're playing with, just to get comfortable and get used to knowing that this guy will be here without having to look over all the time because it's a pretty quick game. The more it can become second nature, every day feels better and better."

Love Your Plants
Having just returned from watching M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening," I would like to make a few things perfectly clear.
1. I love plants.
2. I have always loved plants and always will love them.
3. It is my foremost goal in life to make the world safe for plants.
4. If it were up to me, I would be a plant.
Anyone who has not yet seen this movie should stop reading now, because I am about to give away the plot. (Brief pause while you turn off your computer.)
Mean and Green
Basically, what happens is that for some unexplainable reason, plants start killing people. Well, actually, the plants don't do the killing. They simply release a neurotoxin into the air that causes people to act confused and then kill themselves in an awesome variety of gruesome and creative ways.
There is a smidgen of science behind the movie's premise. Plants can communicate with each other using chemicals. For example, if a forest comes under attack by ravenous caterpillars that devour the leaves, the first trees attacked may release chemicals into the air that are detected by other trees. These trees then pump toxins into their leaves that kill any caterpillars that eat them.
Makes you wonder whether you should eat that head of lettuce, doesn't it?
Details, Details
Ever since Shyamalans's first big hit, "The Sixth Sense," (which was a great flick that should have won the Oscar), his films continue to show the same irritating failing – he can't figure out how to end them. In "Signs," an alien civilization with vastly superior technology to ours decides to conquer Earth and is well on its way to doing so when they all suddenly croak. What killed them? Water. They can't stand water.
Gee, wouldn't you think that aliens advanced enough to travel faster than the speed of light to get here would know that 70% of the Earth is covered by water? Heck, I learned that in reform school.
Well, in "The Happening," the attack on people starts in New York City's Central Park, as the majority of attacks do, and spreads up and down the East Coast from New England to Maryland. Trees exhale, winds blow, and people dispatch themselves by the tens of thousands. The attack goes on for a couple of days and then just as some talking head on the TV predicts using a ridiculous graph he appears to have generated on an Etch-A-Sketch, they reach a peak the next day and then just stop. Just like that.
So how do the authorities respond? By quarantining the area? By developing a vaccine to immunize people against more attacks? By injecting people with chlorophyll so plants will think we're just like them? No, you silly person! They decide that since the attacks have stopped, they'll probably never happen again, so everybody can just go home. Sorry all those people killed themselves, but no sense in dwelling on it. Time for school!
Too bad Shyamalan didn't talk to me before writing this movie. It's obvious why the trees in Central Park were mad. They loved the free concert given there by Simon & Garfunkel and were tired of waiting for a return engagement.
I'd write more, but the window just blew open and I can't remember why I'm writing this —

CANADA STOCKS-TSX little changed as resources offset global growth concerns
TORONTO, June 11 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index was little changed on Wednesday as higher commodity prices helped drive gains in the natural resource sectors, offsetting negative sentiment fueled by a sluggish outlook for the global economy. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed down 12.25 points, or 0.08 percent, at 14,892.13. Five of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red.

Willow Bend Fire burning in Jefferson County
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. - A wildfire was burning on the east face of Long Scraggy Peak in Jefferson County Monday.

Endorsement and why I like trains
I like trains. I guess there are many others who like trains but I know why I like trains. Like most people I didn't have an extreme view of trains one way or the other. But then my son started to really like the trains. Every time we saw a train somewhere he was excited and happy. My mother even took him to train-rides to random locations and back just so he could enjoy the trains.
But I got some marketing insight out of it. One day driving my car next to a railway I saw a train coming. I thought, WOW! Trains are so cool! I started to think about why I had this reaction and everything pointed to my son's "celebrity endorsement deal" with the trains. I was amazed how well that worked. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about sponsorships and endorsement deals. This experience opened my eye to how well these marketing tools can work.
Here's a real life example from the olden days (not a specific person, thou). More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette.
I loved the habit-forming hook a 0:47 "change to Camels for te next 30 days…"

Touch Sight: A Camera For the Blind
This is one of the most interesting and amazing inventions we've seen in a while. The Touch Sight 'camera' is a way for blind people to capture memories of a moment. Instead of grabbing an image, the Touch Sight records sound for three seconds after pressing the shutter button. A malleable 3D braille display also renders an embossed image so users can feel the photo. These sense-photos can be saved on the camera for playback and can be downloaded by other Touch Sight devices.
Yanko Design explores some of the research behind the camera:
One interesting aspect discovered by Chueh in his research is that holding the camera to the forehead is the optimal position for this device. He discovered that "at the Beit Ha'iver (Center for the Blind) in Herzliya, Israel, the instructor who teaches a photography course for the visually impaired discovered that holding the camera to the forehead, like a third eye, is the best way for them to stabilize and aim the camera. The instructor also found the visually impaired have no problems estimating distances, since their sense of hearing is especially sharp. Every rustle of wind in the trees catches their attention and can be used to judge distances. Other senses come into play as well. The heat of the sun or a lamp in a living room, for example, signals a direct source of light. They regularly use their non-visual senses to feel the world and manifest it into a mental photograph."

Tottenham are urging Harry Redknapp to commit his future to the club by offering him an improved four-year deal and £50million to spend in the transfer market this summer.
Standard Sport understands Spurs' hierarchy have become frustrated at the continuing uncertainty over Redknapp's future, with the Football Association yet to approach the 65-year-old about the England manager's role following Fabio Capello's departure last month.
It is believed that no contact has been made at all, either through third parties or intermediaries to Redknapp directly, as the FA continue to compile a shortlist of candidates to take charge before Euro 2012.
Chairman Daniel Levy is pressurising Redknapp to sign amid concerns the situation is creating uncertainty with Tottenham poised to finish in the top four and earn another crack at Champions League football.
Redknapp's contract with Spurs expires at the end of next season and negotiations have begun on a new four-year deal on an increased salary from his present £3m a year before bonuses. But the offer also includes the promise of significant investment in the team regardless of where they finish this season, with Levy insistent he will do all he can to land Spurs' top targets, Marseille striker Loic Remy and Lille playmaker Eden Hazard.
Tottenham were quoted a £20m fee for Remy in January and will make a formal offer at the end of the season, while £30m-rated Hazard spoke three weeks ago about a move to England, suggesting "maybe it will be Tottenham — it is a great English club".
Discussions between Spurs and Redknapp are at an early stage, with Levy currently away in Florida, but it is thought the club want an outcome in the near future to end speculation surrounding the England hotseat.
Levy is keen to know whether he has to begin the search for a new manager in earnest, with Chelsea complicating the pursuit of top-class managers after sacking Andre Villas-Boas last Sunday following just eight months in charge.
The FA insist they are mindful of disrupting clubs during the current campaign and are looking to make an appointment in early May but the feeling at Spurs is that they would rather know earlier where they stand so they can plan for the future.
Redknapp has made no secret of his desire to listen to what the FA have to say and although he remains the front-runner for the England job, a complicated compensation clause in his contract worth around £5m is a factor under consideration.
Another issue is the FA's desire for the new manager to take an active role across all age groups when the national football centre at St George's Park in Staffordshire opens in August.
The FA are thought to be unsure whether Redknapp would be keen to work closely with England's Under-16s up to the U-21s and the seniors, all of whom will train together at the new national base.
It is also unclear if Redknapp would be prepared to move from Sandbanks in Dorset to relocate somewhere nearer the St George's Park site at Burton-upon-Trent.
Roy Hodgson is another manager being considered for the England role. The 64-year-old already works in the Midlands as the boss of West Brom and he was a serious candidate when the FA discussed the possibility of removing Capello after England's shocking 2010 World Cup campaign in South Africa.

|Look at my pics, specifically the one that shows the condenser. Notice the wires running down through the center. That's a heater kit. This is available from SZ. There were problems with the drain tube freezing up and this was the fix/retrofit. Check to see if you have one of these. If not, add it and your trouble will go away!
Other than that, and this is now conjecture. If you don't have a constant run cabinet fan the lower levels will be colder than the top since the air is not constantly mixing. I really feel that this heater kit was a requirement after SZ did a design change on the fan electrics to make it only come on when the compressor was running. Lower shelf is colder most of the time, making things freeze up on the drain tube and trough.
On the older 550's SZ switched the design in later models from a constant run cabinet fan to circuitry that had the fan only switch on when the compressor was running.
I am thinking if you simply rewire to a constant run fan, you won't need that heater kit.

Patna, March 6: Birla Institute of Technology (BIT)- Patna, today bid adieu to Technika, the four-day extravaganza of technical and cultural display, leaving a lasting impression.
The live musical performance section, Viola, was the centre of attraction on the last day, wherein a rock band, Underground Authority, performed. A demonstration by Akash Nemani, a founding team member of iTwin, a Singapore-based data storage company impressed all present at the fest.
Solarace, in which participants were required to make a robot that had to run on a platform by using solar energy, was another event that caught the visitors' fancy.
In Modellazione, participants had to prepare e-graphics with his or her idea and creativity in a 3D or 2D view.
Participants in Kulyam, meant for civil engineering students, had to propose and design a canal system for any river or its tributary in India, where irrigation is required for agricultural land. The system had to be based on the topographic map of the country and also had to help generate revenue and transport too.
T-Quiz (technical quiz) was the most popular among all events. It tested students on their technical knowledge related to applied and practical sciences.
Cultural programmes comprised Nukkad Natak, where participants from BIT, Patna and other institutions showcased their acting skills and impressed the crowd.
Indranil Goswami, the Technika general secretary, said: "The most interesting tech event was when students interacted with Bluetooth inventor Jaap Hartsen through video-conferencing."
Zeya Ahmad, a student of BIT-Patna and head of press and media, said: "The seminar conducted by representatives of United States - India Educat ional Foundation (USIEF) and Netherlands Education Support Offices (NESO) was intriguing and the interactive session educated students on the scope of pursuing higher studies in US and the Netherlands."

Canisius College seniors Harold Washington and Alshwan Hymes, along with junior Billy Baron were named to the 2012-13 Preseason All-Big Four Basketball Teams, which were announced Thursday at the Big Four Basketball Media Day, held at Pearl Street Grill and Brewery in downtown Buffalo. Washington was named to the Preseason All-Big Four First Team, while Hymes and Baron earned second-team honors on the preseason all-star unit. The 2012-13 Preseason All-Big Four Teams were voted on by local media and the athletic communications staffs that cover Buffalo, Canisius, Niagara and St. Bonaventure.
Washington played in all 30 games last season and led the Golden Griffins with his 17.0 points per game scoring average, which ranked fourth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. He was named to the All-MAAC Second Team after his junior campaign, which he ended as the first Canisius player since 1977-78 to score more than 500 points in his first year in Canisius Blue and Gold. Washington scored in double figures a team-high 26 times last season and ended the year ranked third on the team with his 4.3 rebounds per game.
Washington is one of five members of the Preseason All-Big Four First Team, where he is joined by St. Bonaventure senior forward Demitrius Conger, Niagara sophomore guard Juan'ya Green, Niagara redshirt-sophomore guard Antoine Mason and Buffalo junior forward Javon McCrea. McCrea was voted the 2012-13 Preseason All-Big Four Player of the Year after he averaged 14.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per game last season for the Bulls in 31 contest.
Hymes and Baron were voted to the second-team, where they were joined by St. Bonaventure junior guard Charlon Kloof, Buffalo junior guard Jarod Oldham and Buffalo sophomore forward Will Regan. Hymes ranked second on the team last year with his 15.4 points per game and he led the MAAC in 3-point field goals per contest with 2.8, which ranked 22nd in the nation. A three-year letterwinner for the Blue and Gold, the DeWitt, N.Y., native enters his final season in a Canisius uniform as the program's active leader in career games played with 84, and he needs just 25 more 3-pointers to become the second player in school history to make 200 career treys. Baron, who received a transfer waiver from the NCAA in August, comes to Canisius after he played 20 games at Rhode Island in 2011-12. He averaged 14.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game for the Rams in the Atlantic 10 while playing for his father Jim Baron, who is entering his first year as Canisius' head coach.
Canisius will officially open the 2012-13 season on Monday, Nov. 12, when the team plays host to Boston University in the Koessler Athletic Center. Tipoff on opening night is set for 7 p.m.

Cheddar potato-beer soup with shredded ham

Top Review by TPubmgjbd
I have a bowl of this soup in front of me even as I type this review. This is really good (it must be...this is my second bowl of it). Thick like a chowder. The flavors all blend together. It's not the most beautiful soup I've ever seen but it makes up for that in the taste.

New version of Gmail soon available in 37 languages
February 14th, 2008 | Published in Gmail (Google Mail)
Tonight, we're starting to roll out the new version of Gmail in 37 languages.* As we first announced when we launched in English, this version, available for IE7 and Firefox 2, has an entirely new code base, which allows us to add new features more rapidly and share components with other Google applications (we now use the same rich text editor as Groups and Page Creator, and the contact manager can be seen in several Google apps). So if you were using English, you can now change your default language from the Settings menu to take advantage of a bunch of features that have recently launched in your preferred language, including:
- Colored labels
- Group chat
- Rich emoticons
- A new contact manager with a three-pane layout
- A number of smaller features, such as new shortcut keys and the ability to bookmark individual emails with your browser
One side effect of this change is that it may disrupt some third-party Gmail extensions -- unsupported scripts that directly modify Gmail's code. If you don't use them, you don't need to worry about this. But if you do, we've contacted a number of the developers behind some popular extensions and many of them have updated their scripts, so make sure you're using the latest version or check back with them if you encounter any issues.
*The newest version of Gmail is not yet available for Croatian, Icelandic, Hebrew or Arabic, but you can continue using the older version in these languages. The newest version also is not yet available for Google Apps for your domain.
Updated 4/22: We're still rolling out the new version of Gmail to all languages, and we're working to have it out to all users as soon as possible.
Updated 5/5: The new version of Gmail is now fully rolled out to all users with Firefox 2 and IE7 in these languages.

NCAA Christens Pittsburgh The City Of (College) Championships By Mark Nootbaar • Apr 19, 2017 Nam Y.

Don't Cash In Your Retirement Just Because Trump Won By Mark Nootbaar • Nov 9, 2016 Richard Drew / AP While stock markets initially dropped overnight after it became clear that Donald Trump had won the presidential election, they recovered throughout the day on Wednesday. Those fluctuations support the view of one Pittsburgh economist, who says we should take a "wait and see" approach to the economy. Student Attorneys To Offer Expungement Services To Public Housing Residents By Sarah Schneider • Oct 31, 2016 Duquesne School of Law / Facebook Starting in November, Duquesne University law students will travel to eight of Pittsburgh's public housing complexes to help residents expunge juvenile convictions that put them at risk of eviction. In Pennsylvania, a person's entire juvenile record becomes public if they are convicted of a felony as a minor – between the ages of 14 and 18. Duquesne School of Law assistant professor Tiffany Sizemore-Thompson said that is the most common reason a record becomes public. And once it's open, every part of the record is public.

Executive Director and former "Tammie" Robert Vukic said the move will secure the group's financial future and preserve the Tamburitzan legacy as both an educational and cultural institution. It was an economic choice, Vukic said, adding, "We're the first 80-year-old start-up."

How Super Bowl Ads Have Evolved Over 50 Years By Sean Ray & Essential Pittsburgh • Feb 4, 2016 Youtube Listen Listening... / 19:43 This Sunday, many Americans will huddle around their televisions with friends and family to watch some of the best advertisements the industry can create.

But how has a sports game come to be dominated by its ads? Essential Pittsburgh's Paul Guggenheimer sat down with Duquesne University Associate Professor of Sports Marketing Ron Dick and Marketing Professor Audrey Guskey to explore the history of Super Bowl commercials.

Unearthing An Ancient Mosaic By Essential Pittsburgh • Jul 16, 2015 Philip Reeder Listen Listening... / 22:24 To call it a journey of discovery would be an understatement.

PA Education Secretary Visits Teen Scientists at Duquesne By Liz Reid • Jul 14, 2015 Liz Reid / 90.5 WESA Pennsylvania Secretary of Education Pedro Rivera was an engineering major in college – for one semester. "Then I tutored at one of the local high schools, at Reading High School, and I fell in love with education," Rivera told a group of high school students at Duquesne University on Monday.

Duquesne Receives $2 Million State Grant To Generate Cleaner Energy By Casey Chafin • May 26, 2015 Duquesne University received one of seven new clean energy project grants awarded by the Department of Community and Economic Development throughout the state.

"We made a conscious decision to do that." Essential Pittsburgh: USW Stands With Duquesne Adjuncts for Collective Bargaining Power By Essential Pittsburgh • May 7, 2015 In a three-day hearing last week, the United Steelworkers made its case for adjunct professors who work at Duquesne University to collectively bargain with the school for better wages and working conditions. In 2012, a majority of adjunct professors at the university's McAnulty College of Liberal Arts voted to be represented by the Adjunct Faculty Association of the USW. But Duquesne has refused to recognize the AFA-USW, contending that its religious affiliation provides it with an exemption from federal law regarding collective bargaining. We'll talk with Dan Kovalik, the union's lead lawyer in the case and Clint Benjamin, an adjunct English instructor at Duquesne and CCAC. "The Catholic church is very clear that they respect the rights of working people to organize, and that is an unconditional right. Charles Douherty and Duquesne cannot answer that concern. They have no basis under their own Catholic faith that they claim to follow for objecting to unionization." - Dan Kovalik Listen Listening... / 49:16 Also on today's program, 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, and Elaine Labalme has summer theater haunts.

Robert Morris University Adjuncts Approve Union By Josh Raulerson • Mar 18, 2015 Adjunct professors at Robert Morris University (RMU) have voted overwhelmingly to form a collective bargaining unit to seek better wages, job security, and benefits. Election results released Tuesday by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) show a faculty vote of 125-67 in favor of affiliating with the United Steel Workers (USW). "I'm absolutely delighted by it," said Patricia Welsh Droz, who served on a six-member organizing committee of RMU instructors. "We're all delighted by it. But we're not surprised." Duquesne, Nonprofit Team Up to Host Energy Discussion By Michael Lynch • Mar 2, 2015 Powerfund / flickr It could be a big year for energy decisions; state and federal policies could affect everything from conservation to energy costs: The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission is set to unveil the next phase of its Energy Efficiency program, which requires electricity distribution companies to implement energy conservation plans, later this month. Later this year, courts will decide whether conservation programs should be run by the utilities who sell energy or the owners of the grid who distribute it. And, the Environmental Protection Agency will finalize new carbon emissions standards this summer. Duquesne Adjuncts Win NLRB Appeal, Continue with Unionization Effort By Deanna Garcia • Feb 19, 2015 The continuing effort of Duquesne University adjunct professors to form a union got another boost this week. The National Labor Relations Board denied Duquesne's appeal opposing the effort; the university had asked for a religious exemption. But a similar case at Pacific Lutheran University set new criteria for qualifying as a religious institution. United Steelworkers Organizer and Adjunct Professor at Duquesne, Robin Sowards, said the school doesn't qualify, in part, because many professors don't teach religious content. Duquesne University and UPMC Mercy Join the Pittsburgh 2030 District: Downtown By Deanna Garcia • Feb 11, 2015 The effort to reduce the carbon footprint of older Pittsburgh buildings is expanding beyond downtown to the area called "the Bluff" which houses Duquesne University and UPMC Mercy.

This better connects downtown to Oakland – though there are no plans to expand into the area between. 150 Years of Pittsburgh Catholic Archived Issues Go Online By Kaye Burnet • Feb 9, 2015 The Pittsburgh Catholic, the oldest Catholic newspaper in the country, now has more than 150 years' worth of archived issues available online to the public, thanks to Duquesne University's Gumberg library. Accelerator Program At Duquesne University To Focus On Minority Entrepreneurs By Jess Lasky • Sep 15, 2014 From 1990 to 2012, the number of Hispanic entrepreneurs in America tripled from 577,000 to more than 2.0 million, and to address the growing population a new accelerator program at Duquesne University will focus on minority entrepreneurs. "Really what an accelerator means is that, you're going to intervene and offer services that are really going to… accelerate the growth of that business, beyond what they might be able to do alone," said SBDC Director Mary McKinney. How Artifacts Changed The Telling Of Sept. 11 Attacks By Michael Lynch • Sep 11, 2014 Before the fires were extinguished or the cleanups began, archivists from the Smithsonian museums had already started collecting artifacts from the sites of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Thirteen years later, Alima Bucciantini, an assistant professor of public history at Duquesne University, wants to know what kind of impact the immediate exhibition of these objects had on the telling of the story of 9/11. Gathering Discusses Whether Nixon's Pardon Was The Right Decision 40 Years Ago By Jessica Nath • Sep 7, 2014 Forty years ago tomorrow, President Gerald Ford appeared on national television declaring he had granted former President Richard Nixon a full pardon for his involvement in the Watergate scandal. While the infamous investigation has been extensively publicized and analyzed, Ford's reasoning behind the pardon mostly remains an untold story. That's according to Ken Gormley, Duquesne University's Dean of Law, who is coordinating Monday's event along with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, at which major players in Ford's decision recount their involvement. What is the Quality of Pennsylvania's Water? It's Getting Better By Jessica Nath • Aug 11, 2014 Before the implementation of the Clean Water Act, Pittsburgh's rivers were so polluted, they barely even had fish, according to Brady Porter, Duquesne University associate professor of biology. "Not any for commercial fishing or recreational fishing," Porter said. "They were dead, they [the rivers] were basically sewers where our abandoned mine water would flow orange." In Pittsburgh's New Economy, Organized Labor Reorganizes By Josh Raulerson • Jun 10, 2014 Josh Raulerson / 90.5 WESA Like any English professor, Clint Benjamin spends a lot of his time grading papers. "There's a mountain – a teetering Matterhorn of papers at the end of the weekend, or during the week," Benjamin said. "You've just gotta get through them." By his own estimate, Benjamin spends 30 to 40 hours a week on grading alone. He also has to attend meetings, answer emails, keep office hours, and commute between the Community College of Allegheny County and Duquesne University campuses, where in a typical week he prepares and teaches five sections' of English and writing classes.

The most southerly holiday resort on the Costa Brava, Blanes not only attracts international tourists but is also frequented by large numbers of Spanish holidaymakers. Like most coastal towns Blanes has grown from a picturesque fishing village to tourist boomtown. The resort has a two-mile (3km) long stretch of coastline offering sandy bays and rocky coves, the main beachfront is lined with high-rise hotels and apartment blocks.
Behind the seafront the town still retains some reminders of its past, like the medieval castle of St Joan, several churches and other ancient buildings, which attract hundreds of holidaymakers each year. Pride of the town are two renowned botanical gardens, which boast thousands of plant species. Along with all the trappings of modern tourism, Blanes also prides itself in giving visitors a taste of the real Spain, offering traditional street markets, several fiestas and folk dancing fairs.
Visit the renowned Marimirtra Botanical Gardens. Take the kids to the Waterworld (Europe's biggest waterpark) near Lloret del Mar, or to Marineland, a short drive south of Blanes. Barcelona, 60miles (100km) south, is close enough for a day trip.
There are over 150 restaurants in Blanes, many located along the promenade. Locals tend to frequent the smaller eateries behind the promenade. Try the tapas at Café Terrassan near the corner of Passeig de Dintre - widely considered the best in town. In general, fresh seafood is the best bet to order, as are local Catalan dishes.
Although Blanes is not known for its nightlife, there are several British-themed pubs and some decent bars that stay open till late, but for quality nightlife visitors should head up the coast to Lloret. That being said, at the end of July each year Blanes hosts the Costa Brava International Fireworks Contest, the seaside town comes alive with fiestas lasting late into the night.
There are over 700 shops in Blanes, from boutiques and supermarkets to small, traditional retailers. The Monday morning market at Passeig de Mar is the best place to buy souvenirs and various cheap clothing. Every afternoon, local fishermen sell off the day's catch here. The daily Municipal Market in Mas Enlaire is also worth a look for groceries and fresh goods.
On peak summer days the beach and promenade gets very full.

Testimonial for MAT™ by Ty Walker, PGA Golf Professional
Muscle Activation Techniques ( MAT) has been the best thing ever for repairing and revving my body from the punishment I apply as a PGA Golf professional. MAT really works. I would highly recommend you seek an MAT specialist to help you recover from any injuries or the wear and tear of an active lifestyle. Since working with Greg Roskopf and Matthew Bernier I have been able to play more golf and even better golf. If you have discomfort and/or dysfunctional movement patterns you have to spend some time taking care of yourself and there is not a better way to go.

The Community of San Patrignano is the most important anti-drug centre in all of Europe and it houses over 1,300 young people. From 1978 to the present day, San Patrignano has welcomed more than 25,000 people from hundreds of different nations, totally free of charge, without charges for either their families or the State, offering them a home, health and legal assistance, the possibility to study, learn a trade and return fully to society at the end of their recovery path.
The Foundation began its activity in 1995. Today it is present in 18 hospitals in 11 cities with 28 Italian Giggle Doctors who visit and bring a smile each year to more than 35,000 children in care . Theodora Foundation selects the giggle doctors, finances their training, seminars update and their continuous psychological counceling, as well as organises their activities, ensuring high quality visits. Giggle doctors are completely free for hospitals and, of course, for young patients' families.
Itaca Project Rome is a voluntary association founded in 2010 to offer free services to people affected by mental diseases and their families. The Association was inspired to Itaca Project Milan, founded in 1999, whose know-how, operational model and functional system were adopted in Rome.
The Community of Sant'Egidio was set up in Rome in 1968, following the Vatican Council II. Today it is a movement of lay people with over 60,000 members, committed to spreading the Gospel and doing charity work in Rome, in Italy and in 73 countries on different continents. It is a "Church public lay association". The various Communities, spread all over the world, share the same spirituality and the foundations that characterise the Sant'Egidio path.
Since 1989, the non-profit organisation Banco Alimentare has been recovering food items throughout Italy which, despite being unopened and unexpired, would nevertheless be destroyed as they can no longer be marketed. Saved from destruction, they reacquire value and worth for those who have too little. The Banco Alimentare network works every day across Italy through 21 Banco Alimentare organisations located nationwide and coordinated by the non-profit Fondazione Banco Alimentare.
Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d'Arte is a private non profit organization set up in Milan in 1995. Its initiatives, which aim at a "new Renaissance" of the crafts, are directed chiefly at the young: training new generations of artisans, and thus rescuing métiers d'art activities and skills from the threat of disappearance, is in fact one of the objectives that the foundation pursues.
The Fondazione con il Sud is a non-profit making private body which was set up in November 2006 from the alliance between foundations originating from the banks and the world of volunteers and the tertiary sector in order to promote the social infrastructure of the South of Italy, that is to encourage routes towards social cohesion for development.
The Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano (FAI) is the National Trust of Italy.The organisation was established in 1975 on the model of the British National Trust. It is a private non-profit organisation. Its purpose is to protect elements of Italy's physical heritage which might otherwise be lost.

"I use this card for a travel card...picturing my wife and I along with our first names (on the white portion of the front) and full contact info on the back. We've found these to be great for giving out toward the end of a tour/cruise to the people we've met and connected with."

Open your ears and your mind at the Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice (SICPP). It's a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in hearing where new music has been going, and to understand where it might be going next.
Legendary artists are in residence for this week of intensive musical study and performance, alongside seminar participants who are here for the sheer thrill of the avant garde. NEC's Stephen Drury is artistic director for this institute, and guest artists this year include composer Rand Steiger and pianist Winston Choi, who takes the stage tonight.
Choi's program includes solo works by Conlon Nancarrow, who often wrote for player piano in order to accommodate more notes than human hands could encompass; Elliott Carter, whose prolific output continued to startle audiences up until his death last year at age 103; and contemporary composers Brian Ferneyhough, Jacques Lenot, and Hans Thomalla, who is codirector of Northwestern University's Institute for New Music.
Notes on the works on this program were provided by the composers.
Carter Two Diversions
These Two Diversions for piano deal with a growing contrast between simultaneous musical ideas. The first Diversion presents a line of paired notes, musical intervals, that maintain a single speed throughout, while the other very changeable material uses many different speeds and characters. The second Diversion contrasts two musical lines one of which, on the whole, grows slower and slower while the other grows faster and faster. With these musical ideas about diverging materials, I hope I have written diverting music.
Ferneyhough Lemma - Icon - Epigram
The title of this work refers to a poetic form, the Emblema, developed most notably by the Italian poet Alciati during the first half of the sixteenth century. In general usage, the term is taken to mean an epigram which describes something so that it signifies something else. Later developments distinguish three components: a superscription (or adage), an image, and a concluding epigram in which the preceding elements are commented upon or explained.
Lenot Cités de la nuit, Ils traversent la nuit
Nancarrow Two Canons for Ursula
Thomalla Piano Counterpart
Piano Counterpart is a rhapsody. The keys are struck seemingly without aim, like a child tapping curiously on unknown objects, listening with concentration to how that sounds.
But not only single tones are presented this way in Piano Counterpart. Entire boulders of musical language appear: a continuation of the piano strings into the history of the instrument, into layer after layer of musical meaning. Piano Counterpart strikes these layers, lets them ring and excavates them at the same time.
By means of reduction to fewer and fewer pitches at the border of the instrument, and by a constant diminuendo, the piano strings and their sonorous characteristics themselves come increasingly into focus. The now uncovered tones are connected mechanically at first, following the given chromatic layout of the keyboard. But their relation grows increasingly free, and like the loose connections between the ruins of musical languages in the beginning of the piece, the newly emerging musical figures now relate to one another spontaneously, unpredictably, triggered only by the musical moment. The piano now "speaks" almost as rhapsodically as it was struck in the beginning of the piece.
Midday concerts
In addition to SICPP's evening concerts, SICPP participants perform solo repertoire at 11:30am on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, 280 The Fenway. Museum admission fee is waived if you tell them at the door that you are attending the SICPP concert in Calderwood Hall.

Discipleship is the process of embracing the life and ethic of Jesus Christ because of the hope laid out in the Gospel.
"Be transformed"
"Discipleship" is a term used to refer to a disciple's transformation from some other worldview and practice of life into that of Jesus Christ, and so, by way of Trinitarian theology, of God himself. Note the Apostle Paul's description of this process, that the disciple "not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect." Therefore a disciple is not simply an accumulator of information or one who merely changes moral behavior in regards to the teachings of Jesus Christ, but in response to God's work in him or her seeks a fundamental shift toward the ethics of Jesus Christ in every way.
Lee C. Camp, in Mere Discipleship writes
"disciples prioritize God's kingdom, rather than the self-seeking agendas of the kingdoms of the world. There is no compartmentalization of the faith, no realm, no sphere, no business, no politic in which the lordship of Christ will be excluded. We either make him Lord of all lords, or we deny him as Lord of any. [Discipleship is] not a call to a burdensome moral perfectionism, but a call to leave the old ways of death and darkness, and walk in the new way of abundant life and glorious life, with the Christ who is Light and Life. And there, on the path with Christ, we are loved even when we do not deserve to be loved. On pilgrimage with Christ, we are forgiven with an extravagant love - he washes our feet even when we would betray him. And there, on pilgrimage with Christ, we too are called to forgive with such extravagance. On the way with Christ, God's abundance, provisions, and goods are shared with us, joyfully consumed and used, for we eat in the kingdom of God! And on the way with Christ, the provisions and goods in our hands are shared with those around us, for we do not live according to the rebellious kingdoms of the world, which hoard and hold, but according to the kingdom of God, in which God clothes the birds of he air, the flowers of the field, and us too, so that we live with a lightness and ease that befits sons and daughters of God. The basic narrative might be summarized this way: God's good creation has rebelled against the good purposes of its Creator. This rebellion brought death, anguish, violence, lust, greed. And God, in Christ, has announced and acted to redeem the rebellious creation, restoring it to God's good, original intentions -- the kingdom of God is at hand! But surprise of all surprises, the redemption comes not through power and might, but by his sharing in our suffering, taking the very brunt and blow of our rebellion; the Son was crucified, refusing to be cowed by the rebellious principalities and powers, and in his crucifixion, triumphed over them; and in his resurrection, was vindicated by the Father. The church, then, a community called to follow in the way of Christ, a community that is "the body of Christ," exists not to show the world how to be "religious," but to show the world how to be the world God created it to be. We are to be salt and light -- and as he was in the world, so are we to be;" ^[1]^
In the New Testament this transformation is analogized in many ways as an activity (often with athletic language) which points to the future promised by God through Jesus and his Apostles and Prophets.
- Philippians 3:13 "but I press on to make it my own ... forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead"
- 1 Corinthians 9:24,25 "Run in such a way that you may win it. Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one."
- 1 Timothy 6 18:19 "They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life."
- Hebrew 13:12-14 "Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the city gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood. Let us then go to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
"Love one another"
Jesus offers a self-referential, and what is perhaps the most definitive, example of discipleship in the Gospel of John 13:34-35: "I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." ( NRSV) Further definition by Jesus can be found in Luke 14, which is a veritable treatise on the topic. Beginning with a testing trap laid out by his adversaries regarding observance of the Jewish Sabbath, Jesus uses the opportunity to lay out the problems with the religiosity of his adversaries against his own teaching by providing a litany of shocking comparisons between various socio-political and socio-economic realities versus the meaning of being his disciple. Examples which are expressed definitions of a disciple are:
- Luke 14:26 Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.
- Luke 14:27 Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
- Luke 14:33 So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions.
Discipleship for the Twelve
The same process of transformation is also evident in the recorded experiences of the original twelve disciples of Jesus. Though regarded highly throughout Church history, the biblical texts themselves do not attempt to show the Twelve as faultless or even having a solid grasp of Jesus' own ministry, including a recognition of their part in it. All four gospel texts are not reluctant to convey the confusion and foibles of the Twelve in their attempt to internalize and live out the ministry of Jesus within their own discipleship.
Perhaps the greatest disappointment for Jesus, in regards to the Twelve, is when he announces that he will be put to death. Peter at that point boldly rebukes Jesus saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you." To which Jesus responds, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things. [...] If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me" (Matthew 15). While Jesus is teaching that humility and self-sacrifice are the ways of discipleship Peter is still demanding self-preservation. This contradicts Jesus' teaching, even if it is for the sake of his master.
Some other examples where the Twelve worked directly against the very heart of the ministry of Jesus: In Matthew 19 Jesus rebuked the Twelve for their disinterest in children and Jesus explains that children are a model for a heavenly demeanor. In Luke 14, Philip demands that Jesus show them the Father, to which Jesus exasperatedly explains that they should know by then that if they have seen him, they have, in fact, seen the Father. In Matthew 10 the disciples argue over which of themselves will be the greatest when Jesus' kingdom comes into full effect. Jesus responds, to explain their gross misunderstanding of the humble and self-sacrificial nature of his teaching, "whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave.".
Corporate and individual context
_This is a section stub. Please edit it to add information._
The Great Commission
Ubiquitous throughout Christianity is the practice of proselytizing, making new disciples. At the beginning of Jesus' ministry, when calling his earliest disciples Simon (Peter) and Andrew , he says to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish for people" (Matthew 4:19). Then, at the very end of his ministry Jesus institutes the Great Commission, commanding all present to "go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20a). Jesus has incorporated this practice into the very definition of being a disciple and experiencing discipleship.
Discipleship in relationship
- catechists and catechumens in the early church
- "discipleship" as a reference to the relationship in and process of "discipling"
_This is a section stub. Please edit it to add information._
Pentecost and onward
According to the Book of Acts, at Pentecost with the coming of the Holy Spirit, the disciples take on a new boldness, accuracy and discipline in their discipleship. It is from this point where we see the often confused and fearful band of disciples (not limited in this context to the Twelve) mature into the early Church, the pioneers of the faith of all modern Christians worldwide.

Rider 7, Saint Joseph's 5
College Baseball
Rider University 7, Saint Joseph's University 5
MERION STATION, Pa.--Rider won at Saint Joseph's Tuesday afternoon. "We found a way to win a ball game, which was important," said Rider head coach Barry Davis.
The Broncs (13-26, 7-8 MAAC) scored four runs in the third inning on three hits, a hit batsman, a sacrifice fly and two errors to take a 7-5 lead.
A sacrifice fly by freshman Eric Strano (Robbinsville) tied the score at 5-5. Freshman Greg Fazio (Far Hills/Ridge), who singled, stole home on a double steal to give Rider a 6-5 lead. "We were trying to be aggressive there," Davis said.
An RBI single by freshman Mike Parsons (Liverpool, NY) gave Rider a 7-5 lead.
Parsons and freshman Justin Thomas (Richboro, PA/Council Rock South) each had two of Rider's nine hits. "Thomas had a big day," Davis said.
Rider scored two runs in the second inning on three hits, including a solo home run by Thomas, to cut the Hawk lead to 5-3.
Saint Joseph's (17-23, 7-4 A-10) scored five runs in the first inning on four hits, including two doubles, two walks and a pair of Rider errors. "We got off to a rough start," Davis said.
The Broncs took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Parsons led off with a walk and after singles by sophomore Nick Crescenzo (Hammonton, NJ/Hammonton) and junior Ian Lindsay (Oaklyn/Haddon Twp.) scored on a ground out by junior Adam Wayman (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./G.A.R. Memorial).
Rider graduate student Ryan Murphy (Yardville, N.J./Steinert) scored twice.
Rider sophomore Kyle Kennett (Spring Lake, NJ/St. Rose) and junior Chris Taylor (Sterling, VA/Dominion) combined to pitch three innings of scoreless relief.
"The bullpen did well today," Davis said.
Freshman Zach Mawson (Magnolia, DE/Caesar Rodney) pitched the ninth inning, collecting his third save. "Kennett, Taylor and Mawson did a good job," Davis said.
Rider freshman David Hafer (Pine Grove, PA) pitched five innings, allowing five runs on six hits and struck out four for his first collegiate win. "Once he settled down he was fine," Davis said. "He was able to work through it."
This was the 54th meeting between Rider and Saint Joseph's. Rider leads the all-time series, that began in 1946, 38-16. Rider and Saint Joseph's were East Coast Conference rivals from 1975-1982 and Middle Atlantic Conference University Division rivals in the 1960s and early 1970s.
The Broncs host Princeton University Wednesday at 3:30pm. Rider won 6-3 at Princeton last year to take a 24-23 advantage in the series that began in 1959. The Tigers won at Rider in 11 innings in 2010.
"We have a chance to get some momentum going," Davis said.
