The Force: Living Safely in a World of Electromagnetic Pollution
Lyn McLean
The Force: Living Safely in a World of Electromagnetic Pollution
Lyn McLean
Over the past three decades, technology has infiltrated our lives so rapidly that few of us have stopped to consider the potential health implications. Yet could the technology designed to improve our lives actually be making us sick? Scientists have long believed that there is a link between health problems and radiation from mobile phones, wireless connections, powerlines, and electronic devices. Radiation has been linked to health problems such as depression, fatigue, miscarriages, childhood leukaemia, and even brain tumours. In The Force, Lyn McLean shows us why electropollution is one of the most important health issues of our time. Examining research from around the world, she explains how and why we are all at risk and offers practical, easy-to-understand advice for homeowners, parents, and employees wanting to reduce their exposure at home and in the workplace.

However, the ACTU labelled the $12 offer an insult, which represented a "miserable" $8.40 rise a week after tax. ACTU secretary Greg Combet said the Government had relied on "discredited" arguments about pay rises costing jobs: "Tony Abbott is out of touch: $8.40 doesn't even cover the cost of bread and milk for a modern average family," Mr Combet said. The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry opposed any pay rise. But the Australian Industry Group backed an $11 weekly increase. Its workplace director, Stephen Smith, said the group strongly opposed the ACTU claim because it was not reasonably sustainable, would deliver little benefit to many low-income households after taxation and withdrawal of income support arrangements and would reduce employment opportunities, especially for low-skilled workers.

Pretty close in size to a Miyuki 6/0...just a bit larger, this decorative silver bead is just dreamy. In the perfect size and shape to string on 1.0mm leather, we predict this vintage find will sell out quickly. We can't wait to design with it! Each bead was made by the Hill Tribe of Thailand of 95-99% pure silver...that's more silver than Sterling Silver. As part of our Vintage Finds Collection, this bead is very limited in availability. When it's gone, it's gone.

Members present: Senators Brown, Hazlewood, Feakes, Wilson, Huling, Payne, Martin, Stone, Morey, Melzer, Warms
Guests: Sigler, Gross (Star), Stewart, CAD members
Meeting called to order at 4:00.
Faculty Senate / CAD Joint Meeting:
Faculty Senate / CAD Joint Meeting Follow-Up: The Senate discussed the difficulty of finding faculty willing to stand for election to the Senate this election cycle. Senators explored ways to inform faculty of the functions of the Senate, as well as the issues it explores; such information could be distributed at the time elections are called. The Senate should also be active in promoting its activities in the media and on the University website.
Definition of Faculty Voter: The Chair suggested new wording for defining "faculty voter," in particular phrasing to clarify the meaning of an "academic appointment."
PAAG Agenda Development: For the April 6 PAAG meeting, the Senate will suggest the following items:
Development Leave Sub-Committee Report: Chair of the Sub-committee, Professor Martin, along with fellow members Payne and Morey, discussed their investigations into practices followed by other Texas universities in reviewing development leave applications. Their research revealed that no other institution performs interviews of the candidates, and that many do not involve the Faculty Senate at all in the review process. Based upon its findings, the Sub-committee urges the Senate to reconsider the need for interviews, replacing them with a more explicit application and an assessment rubric that details the requirements for an effective application: for instance, a list stating the valid purposes of leave, expectations for the project narrative, expectations for the outcome of the leave, the expectation that applicants contact their Senators to discuss their proposals before submitting them for review. However, if the Senate chooses to continue interviews of applicants, it should break the Senate into several small groups to interview several candidates simultaneously, thus reducing the amount of time the Senate spends on the process. The Senate charged the Sub-committee with developing an assessment rubric, as well as a revised application; once these materials are reviewed, the Senate will make decisions on any recommended changes to the review process.
New Business: The Chair shared the results of the latest Senate election, and will contact winners over the next few days.
Minutes of 3/23/11 were approved.

Corporate Account Takeover is a type of business identity theft in which a criminal entity steals a business's valid online banking credentials. Any business can fall victim to these crimes. Small to mid-sized businesses remain the primary target of criminals.
A business' systems may be compromised by:
Fraudsters exploit the infected system to obtain security credentials that they can use to access a company's business accounts. The criminal can then initiate funds transfers by ACH to the bank accounts of associates within the U.S. (often called 'money mules').
Cyber thieves target employees through phishing, phone calls and even social networks.

Christian Science Will End ObamaCare
During the oral arguments at the Supreme Court this week, Justice Elena Kagan said something that caught my ear:
But, of course, the theory behind, not just the government's case, but the theory behind this law is that people are in this market right now, and they are in this market because people do get sick, and because when people get sick, we provide them with care without making them pay. And it that would be different, you know, if you were up here saying, I represent a class of Christian Scientists. Then you might be able to say, look, you know, why are they bothering me? But absent that, you're in this market. You're an economic actor.
As a Christian Scientist, I've gotten quite a few questions about what Justice Kagan meant on Tuesday. Many people haven't heard of Christian Science, much less about how the health care law affects us. To put it frankly, I was shocked by Justice Kagan's remarks.
And not because she was wrong about Christian Science. She wasn't. In her comments, Justice Kagan illustrated a fact about the practice of health care in America that exposes why the individual mandate is unconstitutional -- and why it tramples the First Amendment rights that all of us hold dear.
The premise of the law is rooted in the federal government's power to regulate interstate commerce. On Tuesday, the government argued that virtually all Americans are in the health care insurance market (commerce) because everyone will get sick and require health care at some point. To be universally mandated and regulated, all Americans would have to be active participants in this commerce.
Except they're not. And as Justice Kagan rightfully implied, the decision not to buy medical insurance isn't just "non-activity" -- for Christian Scientists and others, it's an affirmative choice to seek alternative types of care.
As Justice Kagan stated, mandating Christian Scientists to buy medical insurance not only forcibly drags many of us into commerce, it violates our religious conscience.
Christian Scientists, like Christ's disciples, turn to Christian healing for virtually all of their deepest needs (including health), adhering to Jesus's command to "heal the sick." The church doesn't force abstinence from medicine, but legally commanding that all citizens of this country must use medicine is antithetical to Christian Scientists' core beliefs.
This law medicalizes citizenship.
To pull an analogy from recent news, imagine if Catholics were mandated to buy contraception for personal use to encourage safe sex. Virtually everyone has sex, but that doesn't give the government the power to force individuals into commerce. Sure, some Catholics use contraceptives, but this hypothetical law would most certainly violate the conscience of the church and its members.
Here's another one: Imagine if the government mandated that all Jews had to buy pork. Similar to health care, virtually everyone is involved with food commerce, but no one would support the government forcing Jews to buy a product with which they religiously disagree.
These analogies and the real life situation facing Christian Scientists illustrates the health care law's fundamental threat to liberty -- especially religious liberty. As Justice Kennedy stated on Tuesday, this law "changes the relationship of the Federal Government to the individual in a very fundamental way."
Americans are not subjects. We are not a people of the government. We have a Constitution with enumerated powers for a reason.
That reason is to protect individual freedom and free choice. Let's remember, if the government has to mandate an action, it means people are choosing not to do that action. A one-size-fits-all mandate discounts individual choice and promotes an all-powerful, paternalistic state-one that believes Washington knows best.
In the case of health care, the argument against free choice is well-stated. Our welfare system attracts freeloaders who choose not to insure because health insurance prices are too high and they know the government will have their back. But, to quote President Obama in his 2008 campaign, "If a mandate is the solution, we could try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house." The problem is affordability and mandates actually drive up the cost of insurance.
America can find a health care solution that drives down costs and doesn't fundamentally infringe on the Constitutional rights of all Americans. The freeloader problem doesn't justify an unconstitutional solution. It's un-American to trample the religious and economic liberties of a free people-even if it's in a noble pursuit.
The health care case isn't over, and just because this argument was only brought up by Justice Kagan in passing doesn't mean it can't make its way into the majority opinion. Paul Clement did an excellent job arguing for the 26 states challenging the law, but ultimately his argument can only hope to garner the courts conservative votes plus Justice Kennedy.
Justice Kagan's comments lead us to believe that this addition is the strongest, most broad-based argument against the mandate, and we need it as precedent to protect the rights of all Americans.

One Dollar Mexican shutters on 38th Avenue
Don't let that "open" sign deceive you, because a peek through the windows at One Dollar Mexican, which owner Eric Alvarez just opened in September, tells a very different story.
Everything has been stripped from the modest room: the cash register, the refrigerators, the snow cone machine and the sign that once listed chile rellenos, tacos and tostadas, all priced at $1 per item. The place is definitely closed -- apparently the lines of bargain hunters weren't enough to keep it open.
So if you're hunting for cheap lunch in the area, you'll have to look elsewhere -- like Buchi Cafe Cubano, just two doors down.

Depending on whether we can get PlanePlotter to run reliably under wine on the geode, we may need to temporarily stowaway another Atom box down in the rack room to do the hard math-y bits of the project.

- The light and passions of Mexico illuminate every moment of this sensual, hypnotic and hauntingly beautiful film about the life of Italian-born photographer and revolutionary Tina Modotti. Focusing on her years in Mexico in the 1920s, the Genie award-winning director of Shadow Maker paints the portrait of an extraordinary woman's transformation from a silent screen actress, bohemian lover and charismatic subject of Edward Weston's camera, to an acclaimed photographer, an infamous lover, and a deeply committed political activist and revolutionary. Weston and Modotti's starkly dramatic photographs dissolve to lush reenactments, sun-drenched Mexican landscapes, and tumultuous scenes of the Mexican revolution, as excerpts from her letters, Edward Weston's daybooks, and the words of artists and revolutionaries propel us through her intimate thoughts and her increasingly complex and dangerous life - Official Selection, 2002 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.

Jean Delannoy
Last Updated: 2:03AM BST 21/06/2008
The Telegraph.co.uk
Film-maker whose craftsmanship and good taste earned him the enmity of the
Young Turks of the Nouvelle Vague.
Jean Delannoy, who died on Wednesday aged 100, was one of the last survivors
of that generation of film-makers vilified by the new wave in the late 1950s
as the cinma de papa.
They were schooled in a tradition of craftsmanship, literary affiliations
and good taste - precisely the qualities despised by new young directors
such as Franois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard and Claude Chabrol, who swept
through the French film industry with bold new experiments like Les Quatre
Cents Coups and A Bout de Souffle.
In 1957 Truffaut said of one of Delannoy's films (Chiens Perdus sans
Collier, a thriller with Jean Gabin) that he had seen it three times so as
to learn exactly what not to do.
This was a harsh verdict from a man who himself, in later life, allowed
innovation to slide into sentimentality. But it is incontestable that
Delannoy, who had made such an impact with works such as L'Eternel Retour
(1943) and Dieu a Besoin des Hommes (1950), later became a journeyman
film-maker with potboilers such as the 1956 remake of The Hunchback of Notre
Dame, with Anthony Quinn and Gina Lollobrigida.
Jean Delannoy was born on June 12 1908 at Noisy-le-Sec near Paris to a civil
servant and a kindergarten teacher of Huguenot stock. Ancestors at times of
religious persecution had been among the first to seek refuge in the New
World. As a Protestant, Delannoy was unusual in a predominantly Catholic
country and this had a direct bearing on the authenticity of his own film La
Symphonie Pastorale (1946).
Delannoy's sister Henriette had been a screen actress in the silent era, but
initially he had no thought of following her into the film industry. As a
student at the Lyce Montaigne and the Lyce Louis-le-Grand in Paris, he
married young and fed the family with temporary jobs as a bank clerk,
journalist and set designer.
During military service, he was attached to a film unit and, on demob,
successfully applied for work as an editor at Paramount's French studios in
St Maurice. In this capacity, he worked on some 40 films and eventually got
a chance to direct at the age of 26, progressing from shorts to feature
films in 1935.
As a director, Delannoy deliberately rejected specialisation in style and
content. "I have never," he said, "attempted, even after the greatest
success, to take the same path twice. The diversity of subjects I have
handled reflects very exactly the diversity of my preoccupations and
Delannoy came to the fore as a film-maker on the eve of the Nazi Occupation.
This had an immediate adverse consequence for his film about Macao (1939),
starring Sessue Hayakawa and Erich Von Stroheim. By the time it was ready
for release, the Nazis objected strongly to the presence of the anti-Nazi
Von Stroheim and demanded a remake of his scenes. They were reshot with
Pierre Renoir and released in that form in 1942. In 1945, after the war,
Stroheim's contribution was reinstated.
L'Eternel Retour, filmed in 1943 from a script by Jean Cocteau, echoed the
story of Tristan and Isolde. It was one of the few films made under the
Occupation that, in some quarters, still enjoys a high reputation. Some,
however, find the tone of defeatism as repugnant as in Marcel Carn's Les
Visiteurs du Soir.
Much more successful was La Symphonie Pastorale, made after the war in 1946,
which won the top prize at the first post-war Cannes Film Festival. Based on
the work by Andr Gide, it was the story of a Protestant pastor torn between
his duty to care for a blind waif, one of his parishioners, and his very
different instincts as a man.
Les Jeux Sont Faits (1947), from a scenario by Jean-Paul Sartre, was a fable
set in limbo between two strangers who have died and are given a 24-hour
respite from death to test their new-found love. Many people today, however,
find the notion precious and pretentious.
But Dieu a Besoin des Hommes (1950) is widely considered Delannoy's most
accomplished film. Set in the 19th century on a bleak island off the Breton
coast, it tackles themes that call into question the Church's spiritual
authority. When the islanders engineer shipwrecks in order to plunder the
wreckage, the local minister quits in disgust, leaving the congregation
without access to grace. To fill the void, the sacristan (Pierre Fresnay)
assumes the role of the priest because, he believes, common-or-garden
sinners need spiritual guidelines as much as the virtuous. This action, of
course, was unacceptable to the Church.
Awarded the grand prix at the Venice Film Festival, the film was also
saluted by the Catholic Church for its compassion, despite appearing to
condone heretical practices. Though a powerful work, with wonderfully
brooding images of the island location, it was an achievement Delannoy was
unable to match, let alone surpass.
Though the 1956 version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame was widely released
on the strength of its stellar cast, none of his other pictures, of which
there were many, crossed the Channel. They were mostly thrillers, costume
dramas and melodramas. However, Jean Cocteau, who had furnished the script
for L'Eternel Retour, also wrote an adaptation of La Princesse de Clves,
Madame de Lafayette's 1678 work about ill-fated lovers at the French court
that became Delannoy's last real success. To some extent, with its tale of
thwarted lovers, it echoed the Tristan and Isolde theme of L'Eternel Retour.
In later years, Delannoy shifted to television, with a six-part series based
on Manon Lescaut and an account of the accession of Napoleon III in Le Coup
du 2 Dcembre.
Television, he said, was not so very different from cinema. The way of
telling a story is the same but you simply have a much larger audience. Not,
perhaps, an observation with which David Lean would have concurred.
Delannoy was chairman of the Institut des Hautes tudes Cinmatographique
and in 1966 was awarded an honorary Csar, effectively a lifetime
Delannoy married first in 1927 and was divorced 11 years later. He married,
secondly, in 1938, Juliette Geneste, by whom he had a daughter, who is also
married to a film director.

Does Spirituality Have a Place in Higher Education? :
A Response
Helen S. Astin & Alexander W. Astin
We appreciate the opportunity to reflect on and respond to the commentaries on our HERI-UCLA study of Spirituality in Higher Education.
We are pleased that our research and writing inspired efforts to implement new pedagogical approaches for training prospective faculty to assist undergraduate students' in dealing with the "big questions," that is, questions relating to the meaning and purpose of one's life. The Graduate Theological Union (GTU) embarked on such an effort and their goals, process, and reflections are reported in the first five articles. These articles are followed by three other articles that are primarily devoted to critical commentary on our study, and the final two articles focus on pedagogy inspired and supported by our work.
First, just a few comments about our study that continues to be on-going. We began this work in 2003 with a pilot study aimed primarily at developing a survey questionnaire that could be administered to undergraduate students in order to assess their religious and spiritual qualities. Details of how we went about devising questions that could capture students' religiousness and spirituality can be found on our website (spirituality.ucla.edu).
The main goals of the study were to explore four key questions:
Thus far we have reported on three key findings:
Reading the articles presented by colleagues at GTU, we were inspired by their ingenuity in developing a program to train future faculty who could engage students in conversation and exploration of the "big questions." It is a thoughtfully designed program that considers carefully aspects of course design, pedagogy, and assessment.
We believe that many of the elements that are clearly described in the article by Maloney can be adopted by graduate education programs in other institutional settings as a means of preparing future faculty to engage their students in exploring the "big questions." These include several key elements that were successfully incorporated into GTU's programs: observing mentors (senior teacher/scholars); preparing narratives of one's philosophy of teaching; designing new courses or adapting previous courses with the aim of engaging the big questions; offering the courses; and giving feedback. We see these all as essential elements of such a program. While the assessment was central to the whole program design, we felt that it could have succeeded better in providing the feedback needed for program redesign if it had included success stories as well as some failed attempts. Ultimately, a successful assessment should include a longitudinal effort to assess the impact of such an effort on students who participate in courses designed to examine the 'big questions'.
The two articles that follow Maloney's article, one by Drescher and a second by Stortz, raise important questions about some of the problematics when we engage in systematic efforts to make the academy more responsive to students' needs in dealing with aspects of their spiritual quest and with "big questions" such as: Who am I? What is the meaning of life and death? Why is there suffering, wars, death? Drescher indicates that engaging in this kind of work – a form of "reengineering the teaching machine," "challenges the normative culture of the academy" and the "narrowly instrumental character of postsecondary education," and it raises some important questions on issues of power and authority. Who is the knower in the teaching encounter? It challenges all of us as faculty members to clarify our professional identities, "who am I who teaches?" and it calls us to embark on a journey of personal transformation.
We could not agree more with those statements. But how to engage the current faculty in this personal transformation constitutes a challenge for all of us. However, if we really care about attending to the holistic development of college students, it is important to recognize that designing appropriate professional development programs for future cadres of faculty is not only feasible, but necessary.
Stortz's article raises some interesting questions of how we "go spiritual" while continuing to maintain objectivity and criticality in our work. We do not see the two goals as incompatible, given that it is hardly an exercise in "objectivity" to deny the reality of those aspects of the self that yearn to uncover and confront the mysteries of life. Stortz underscores the importance of an education that involves personal learning and understanding and the importance of personal meaning in dealing with the "big questions." She also indicates the necessity of maintaining a historical perspective and a critical/analytical approach.
It was especially enlightening to us to hear the voices of the two graduate students, James and Bauman, who were fellows in this project, as presented in their article, "Big Questions of Vocation, Professional Identity, and Classroom Practice." James believes that the three most important things she learned from the project were developing the ability to listen to her students through the practice of an "engaged pedagogy," honoring the "scholarship of application" by being attentive and responsive to the needs of the world, and attending to her own personal development by engaging in her own exploration of the "big questions."
Bauman underscored the importance of enabling students to nurture their wonderment. In our own study we found that students' experiences of wonderment, such as listening to beautiful music, being in nature, or seeing a remarkable piece of architecture were all experiences that nurtured their spirituality. Again we could not agree more that both James and Bauman touched upon some critical practices that nurture student's spirituality and capacity to make meaning of the world.
The next three chapters are devoted mainly to critical commentary on our project. The three authors—Bauman, Gallagher, and Lopez—appear to find little of value in the study. All three think the concept of "spirituality" is of questionable value. Bauman and Gallagher, in particular, essentially reject altogether the concept as being hopelessly ambiguous. Gallagher and Lopez seem to think that we have somehow set it in opposition to "religiousness," when in fact the reverse is the case. As we have said throughout the project and as our data clearly show, the two concepts are positively and substantially related: many students, believers and non-believers alike, appear to associate the two concepts, i.e., they believe that "religious people tend to be spiritual" and that "spiritual people tend to be religious." Further, most of our measures of spirituality are positively correlated with our measures of religiousness, and at least one—Spiritual Identification (formerly called "Spirituality")—shows very high positive correlations with religiousness measures in the neighborhood of .70-.80.
Citing the frequent use of first person pronouns in our survey items, Lopez concludes that we are encouraging individualism and self-centeredness in our student respondents and ignoring "otherness." Nothing could be further from the truth. Dozens of survey items inquire into students' attitudes, beliefs, and behavior with respect to "the other," and exactly half of our six measures of spirituality—Ethic of Caring, Ecumenical Worldview, and Charitable Involvement—are entirely about encountering "the other." Even our own prose definition of "spirituality" emphasizes "connectedness with others."
It's too bad the authors looked only at our earliest descriptive work and not at our latest longitudinal work, which we briefly referred to at the Chicago conference. In particular, we have made one small but significant change in the labeling of our measures: the one we initially called "Spirituality" has been renamed "Spiritual Identification." The initial name was chosen because 12 of the 13 items making up this scale included some version of the word "spiritual." However, we subsequently changed the name for at least two reasons: (1) rather than indicating how "spiritual" someone is, the items really reflect the student's inclination to use the word "spiritual" in relation to oneself and others; and (2) given that we had devised five other measures of "spiritually related" qualities (including one—Equanimity—which we believe may be the defining quality of people who are generally regarded as "spiritual"), it would be misleading to name any one quality "Spirituality." Bauman seems to think that the 13 items are too heterogeneous to create a meaningful whole, but the fact remains that they form a highly reliable scale (Alpha = .89). We do, however, pretty much agree with Bauman's observation that the scale "tells us nothing about spiritual people except…that they identify with the word "spiritual." As we have already said, this is one of the reasons we changed the name.
Bauman also believes that the survey approach taken by the Pew Forum on Religious and Public Life is to be preferred over what we are doing. But if he had checked out the content of our surveys he would have seen that we have included virtually every item used in the Pew survey. We have also published summaries showing how these items are related to our measures of spirituality and religiousness.
In questioning our approach to studying spirituality, neither Gallagher, Bauman, nor Lopez acknowledges our basic underlying assumption: that spirituality is a multidimensional quality that cannot be captured in a single measure. Most people who have attempted to define the construct would agree with us, as evidenced by their use of multiple descriptors. Our study identified six separate indicators of spirituality, all of which reflect conceptions of spirituality that have been proposed by various scholars, educators, and theorists. We make no claim that we have covered all possible definitions, but we believe that we have represented some of the most commonly proposed ones. That they can all be counted as indicators of spirituality is supported by the fact that the measures are all positively correlated with each other (all 15 of the possible correlations among the 6 measures are positive and significant). If one wishes to know how "spiritual" someone is, we believe that it is necessary to look at the entire profile of six measures.
Recently we have attempted to develop a definition of "spirituality" based on these six measures. If a person were to obtain high scores on all six, here is how that person might be described: "A highly spiritual person is at peace with herself. She views herself and others as spiritual beings, and feels a strong sense of connection to all humanity. Her awareness of the many injustices in the world and strong sense of compassion and caring is manifest in a life of serving others. While maintaining her positive outlook on life, she is actively seeking to attain deeper levels of wisdom and compassion."
Another thing to keep in mind about our measures is that they do not simply reflect some a priori notion of what we think spirituality is. On the contrary, the items that make up these measures were constructed only after several years of reading, debate, and brainstorming concerning what spirituality is and what "spiritual" people are like. We followed the same procedure with the construct of "religiousness." Altogether we devised some 170 different items that were intended to reflect some aspect of either spirituality, religiousness, or both. The factor analyses that we performed using these items were designed to determine if certain items clustered together in meaningful ways so that subgroups of items could be combined to create "scales." Some of our analyses were "confirmatory" (i.e., we expected to find clusters that reflected traits that we already had in mind, e.g., Religious Engagement, Spiritual Quest), but most of the analyses were "exploratory" (i.e., there were clusters revealed by the factor analyses that were not anticipated prior to the analyses, e.g., Spiritual Identification, Equanimity). In these latter cases we were presented with the task of having to name the scale.
As is the case with all complex concepts, our particular approach to defining and measuring spirituality will almost certainly not fit everyone else's definition of the construct. To those who take issue with our approach, we can only say this: "We have identified a set of six related traits that we have labeled Spiritual Identification, Spiritual Quest, Equanimity, Ecumenical Worldview, Ethic of Caring, and Charitable Involvement. We have been able to develop statistically reliable measures of each of these traits. Our research so far indicates that attending college tends to facilitate the growth of such traits, and that the particular college experiences that are most likely to contribute to their growth include such things as interdisciplinary courses, study abroad, service learning, interracial interaction, personal reflection, and faculty encouragement. Call them what you like, we believe that these traits represent potentially important human qualities that can and should be nurtured in our educational system."
The final two articles—one by Fran Grace and the second by Judith Simmer-Brown—describe efforts to introduce contemplation as a pedagogical device to assist students in their inner work and spiritual journeys. We find in our own research that meditation and contemplation are approaches that can not only facilitate students' spiritual development, but also be viewed as pedagogical tools that enhance learning and academic performance.

In the midst of this current two-game losing streak, the Pittsburgh Steelers injury situation has gone from bad to worse. In fact, in the debacle on Sunday, the team lost at least one starter, if not more, to injury for an extended period.Willie Colon (Knee) all on the sideline. The injuries along the offensive line seem to be of most concern Monday, as the Steelers made some moves to help sure up the offense prior to their rematch against the Baltimore Ravens.
Starting the day, the team activated rookie first round pick David DeCastro from injured reserve. Although, he only returned to practice last week, the massive amount of injuries along the line may force him into action as soon as this week. To make room for DeCastro, the Steelers placed tackle Marcus Gilbert (Foot) on the injured reserve list, ending his season.
The moves along the offensive line did not stop there, as it appears that the ankle injury suffered by Adams against the Browns may keep him out of action. To add more depth, the Steelers again promoted guard/center John Malecki from the practice squad, and released wide receiver David Gilreath. Malecki was signed early in the season when center Maurkice Pouncey and Gilbert were out of action.
At this point, the big question is whom will start at right tackle against the Ravens, as the team finished the game against the Browns with rookie seventh round pick Kelvin Beachum holding down the fort. If DeCastro is ready, they could slide guard Ramon Foster outside to tackle, or to left guard and slide Willie Colon back to tackle. These questions alone should make head coach Mike Tomlin's press conference interesting.

Tokyo (AFP) Dec 27, 2012
Japan's Toshiba is in talks with three parties about selling a stake of up to 16 percent in US nuclear power plant builder Westinghouse Electric, a report said Thursday.
Toshiba, which currently owns 67 percent of Westinghouse, still intends to keep a controlling share, the Japanese firm's president Norio Sasaki told Dow Jones Newswires.
The three parties "have made very good offers", Sasaki said, adding they include companies outside the United States.
Sasaki also said another 20 percent in Westinghouse which Shaw Group currently owns -- but which Toshiba is set to acquire in January under the terms of a put option-- may be purchased by Chicago Bridge & Iron Co.
However, Toshiba has received proposals from two other companies to buy the stake, he added.
Chicago Bridge is in the process of purchasing Shaw after its shareholders overwhelmingly approved the $3.04 billion acquisition earlier this month.

Round & Round
I made this pretty little circle card for my in-laws anniversary. I LOVE it! I'm so glad that I have the pattern now, I can make more. I drew everything in Adobe Illustrator, then cut it out on my Silhouette. I will have svg files later in the week for you, if you'd like to cut them out, too.
I used my Slice for the butterfly, then outlined it with some Stickles.
For the sentiment shape, you just cut out the shape, print your sentiment on an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper using word or whatever program you want. Tape the shape over the word, using double sided tape. Also, tape down the top tip of the shape. It tends to bend over. Took me 3 tries before I fixed it. Just make sure your tape isn't super sticky. Stick it to your shirt first to get it fuzzy and take some of the tackiness off of it.
Pretty bow! I really like the width of this ribbon. I'd like to get some more.
Oh, I guess I should share my refrigerator story with ya... too funny.
We bought a new Samsung stainless steel fridge at Best Buy. Now, we weren't stupid about it, we measured our cabinets. We had 36 inches on the top, and about 35 1/2, due to the fact that the counter top was hanging over a bit, and there was about an inch of space to the right of our stove.
We looked and looked and found the one I fell in love with at Best Buy. You know how it is, you just MUST to have THAT one. No other would do. It had all the bells and whistles of the over 2 grand models, but for half the price. LED lights that slowly light up the longer the door is open, fancy buttons for the ice... easy access to the water filter. Nice shelves, that were closed so if you spill soy sauce in it, it doesn't drip down to all the other shelves.
We buy it on Saturday. We come home and measure. Hmmm, doesn't look like it's going to fit on the bottom. Top cabinets are OK. Matt takes the counter top off and cuts off an inch. Then he painstakingly shaves off about a half inch from the cupboard.
Tuesday the ginormous fridge arrives. The delivery guys take our old white ancient (14 year old) fridge and move it into the garage. (hello beer fridge) They bring in the new fridge, and take one look at the space and say, "That ain't gonna fit."
Oh no!
We tell them, just leave it where it is and we'll figure something out.
We remeasured the top, and assured ourselves that it will indeed fit. We decided to go to Lowes and get the waterline hookup and also look for a smaller base cabinet. Ours was 18 inches... we needed to go to 16. (alas, they don't make 16, we got a 15")
At Lowes I found an oak 15" cabinet that looked similar to ours. We get it home and I immediately say, "That doesn't match our cabinets at all."
Oi vay, what a fiasco!
Matt tells me that we are not taking it back. He had already opened the box. Oh well. He put the cabinet in, shaved off some more of the counter top, and we hook the waterline up... push the fridge back into the space and .... dang!! Now the WALL is in the way!! What the heck!! This space is supposedly designed for a refrigerator.
Well, we just have to have the fridge about 8 inches from the back wall in order for the freezer door to open. Can you believe this?
I was sooo upset. Crying that I had a "hillbilly" kitchen!
Sometime in the future, I will remodel the kitchen. For now, I'm stuck with the hillbilly cabinets and my shiny new fridge pulled too far from the wall. I think if I paint the cabinets, then they'll all be unified. Plus, I wanted to paint them anyway.
Here's the monster that caused all the problems:
Notice how the upper cabinets are a reddish stain, and the lower cabinet is quite a bit lighter and not reddish at all. Not to mention, a completely different style!!
I do love the shelves, and I have SO much room now!!
Look at all those healthy fruits and veggies in there. Dr. Oz would be proud!
Don't ya just love these lights??
Well, that's my fridge story. I swear, we live by Murphy's law. What can you do.
So, what's the moral of this story? I think it is you can make anything work if you try. ;)
Have a great day.

LOL Hillbilly kitchen You are too funny.
I wanted to put our microwave above the stove to save space, but we needed a smaller cupboard above the stove.
The cabnet maker said there is no way to matche the colour of the cabnets as we have oak and they change colour over time. So our microwave is on the counter.
Love your card.

I love the card! We bought a new Samsung SxS frig. a year ago. It looks a lot like yours, but with a few differences. We had to shave a bit off the bottom of our cabinets overhead, but we knew up front that we would. I absolutely hate that frig., but my husband threw a fit to get it. And it cost way too much money! We have never had a SxS before and I can't get anything to fit inside it. We need a new stove too and I am NOT going to let him have his way about what we get!

Overwhelming global demand may limit initial supplies of the Galaxy S4 smartphone, Samsung said Wednesday, while both Sprint and T-Mobile USA confirmed there would be delays.
T-Mobile said the GS4 was scheduled to go on sale online at its website Wednesday, but that online sales will be delayed for possibly five days, and are expected to begin Monday, April 29. The carrier cited an "unexpected delay with inventory deliveries."
Earlier Wednesday, Sprint said its full launch on Saturday of the latest Galaxy S smartphonewill be "slightly delayed."
Sprint also cited "unexpected inventory challenges from Samsung" as the cause, but didn't say when in-store sales would begin.
[Read: Review: Samsung Galaxy S4 is a worthy successor but not revolutionary]
Appears to be a go on AT&T and Verizon
The nation's two largest carriers, AT&T and Verizon, appeared unaffected by the delays. AT&T on Wednesday said it is "on track" for launch of the GS4 in its stores on Saturday.
Verizon Wireless said its GS4s will still be available on May 30 for $199.99 after rebate and a two-year contract.
In a statement issued via email, Samsung said: "Due to overwhelming global demand of the Galaxy S4, the initial supply may be limited. We expect to fulfill inventory to meet demands in the coming weeks." Samsung didn't indicate which carriers are affected.
Sprint is offering the GS4 for $249.99 with a two-year contract, while AT&T is selling it for $199.99 and a two-year contract.
T-Mobile was expected to begin sales of the GS4 on Wednesday online, and lists it on its websitefor a down payment of $149.99 plus 24 monthly payments of $20 each, for a total of $629.99.
In its statement, T-Mobile apologized to customers for the delay and said it is "working with Samsung to deliver the device to T-Mobile customers as soon as possible." It also said that "online availability is expected to begin on Monday, April 29."
U.S. Cellular also has the device listed as a pre-order only on its site for $199.99 and a two-year contract, with no delivery date.
Other smaller U.S. carriers that will carry the device could not be reached for comment on whether they face supply-related delays.
The GS4 has a 5-in. Super AMOLED display with 441 pixels per inch, well above other smartphones. It runs Android version 4.2.2 and uses a 1.9 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor in the U.S. model. It also has a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front camera, a 2,600 mAh battery, NFC and 4G LTE for carriers that support LTE.
This story, "Samsung confirms limited supply of Galaxy S4, cites 'overwhelming global demand'" was originally published by Computerworld.

"A whole family lost to car crashes. It's enough to make a person buy a bike."
Some films rely heavily on the visual aesthetic as opposed to narrative strength. Critics often like to lambaste this, but there's nothing inherently wrong with the approach. Film is, after all, a visual medium, is it not? Why can't the notion of a moving painting be utilized as a focal point in a movie?
What Dreams May Come
shows you why it can.
As a narrative, the film is lacking, only because it goes a little over the top emotionally. I don't mean to say that it's a bad story. In fact, I rather liked the story here. But this film isn't about the story - it's about the beautiful vistas against which that story plays out. It is, more than any other movie, a painting on film. That said, the story plays out like this. Chris Nielsen (played by Robin Williams) loses his two children in an auto accident. This tragedy is compounded when he too dies in an accident, leaving his beloved wife Annie behind to mourn them all. But, newly arrived in the afterlife, Nielsen refuses to give up on staying with Annie, and so he goes on a journey through Heaven (and Hell) to find her.
Unfortunately, Williams lets his performance get too sappy at times, and seems to go too far. But when people say this film is a beautiful piece of cinema, they are absolutely correct. Scenery of epic proportions, with unparalleled visual magnitude, abounds here. It really is very stunning and, on this level, the film is the visual masterpiece some have referred to it as. An interesting bit of trivia is that this film is one of the few shot on Fuji Velvia film stock. This particular film stock is actually used more frequently for landscape still-photography, due to its very high color saturation. Usually, the stock is only used in filmmaking when special effects are involved, and it's obvious why it was used here.
The DVD version of
What Dreams May Come
, for all of these reasons, has a tall task in bringing this visual epic home. But I can safely say that this DVD does a bang-up job. The black levels are perfect and the colors come through richly and with tremendous vibrancy... but not too much. Film grain isn't a problem either, and neither is digital artifacting. The anamorphic transfer is beautiful with great detail. Occasionally, some of the smaller background details are a bit distorted, but this is hardly worth mentioning. This is really a stunning picture.
The audio on the disc is also solid. While the sound effects aren't a pillar on which this film is built, they sound good enough when they're in play. Where the audio really comes through is in the heavenly (pardon the reference) score by composer Michael Kamen. The music perfectly compliments the stunning vistas and adds a touching accentuation to the emotional chord of the film. Note that the DVD automatically defaults to Dolby 2.0 Surround as opposed to the 5.1 channel mix, unless you specifically select otherwise.
So... what extras may come, here? This is a special edition and, true to form, it boasts a solid array of supplements. The director's commentary track is good, and I must say something about his accent here. Vincent Ward has this accent that just sounds awesome and is perfect when juxtaposed next to this film. That sounds strange, I know, but it's true. This commentary good, although it does sound scripted at times. Ward basically focuses on motivations and hardly ever mentions any technical or filming insights. Along with the commentary, you also get an alternate ending (it's safe to say that Ward made the right call in not using it). Some behind-the-scenes footage is included, as are extensive featurette-style examinations of the visual effects in the film (one note: take a look around and see if you can catch Peter Pan and company flying around during some of the Heaven sequences). And you get the usual trailers, cast & crew bios and production notes. There's also DVD-ROM content, but it isn't really worth mentioning, so I won't.
What does deserved to be mentioned, however, is the menu system. It's billed as a "dual interactive menu screen", which basically means that you can pick between a heavenly and a hellish motif. That's really the only distinctly defining quality about them. But the menus do look brilliant. Whoever designed them deserves whatever kind of award they give out for this stuff.
What Dreams May Come
is a film that sort of missed the boat on story. But it still remains a beautifully dramatic piece, with the right amount of tragedy, serious issues and the obligatory happy ending. The visuals take up the mantle dropped by the script, and they do so with such style and epic magnificence that the film becomes memorable and worthwhile on this point alone. The DVD is also a great value, with all of the extras and slick design you'd expect. Give it a rent at the very least.

Eric Hartsburg, a 30-year-old Indiana man best known as That Guy Who Got a Romney Tattoo on His Face, has finally found a reason to get the red and blue "R" logo lasered off—something that only a few weeks ago he was insisting would never happen.
It totally has absolutely nothing at all to do with his desire for publicity and need for attention.* Not one bit.
Here, we'll let Politico—which has spent a possibly unhealthy amount of time talking to Hartsburg in recent weeks—explain:
Tattoo removal chain Dr. TATTOFF offered to remove it for free, an offer Hartsburg originally rejected, telling POLITICO earlier this month, "I still love the ink and I am a man of my word and will keep the tattoo for life."

After more than a half century and 8,020 games, Johan Santana pitched the 1st no-hitter in N.Y Mets' history.
Helped by an umpire's missed call and an incredible catch by a left fielder that grew up in Queens as a Mets fan, Santana's start is also the 1st no-hitter of his career. Betting lines
In the 8-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals, Santana, who missed last season due to shoulder surgery, walked 5 and struck out eight, while testing the boundaries of his comeback.
Mets manager Terry Collins said before the game that he wanted to limit Santana to as much as 110-115 pitches. Santana finished with a career-high 134.
Afterwards, an emotional Collins expressed his concern about going after history instead of preserving Santana's long term health.
"I just couldn't take him out," Collins declared.
In the 9th inning with 27,609 fans all standing, Santana's final pitch, a 3-2 change-up, ended in David Freese swinging and missing. Santana's colleagues all stormed the mound to celebrate.
Santana stated that he never has thrown a no-hitter at any level.
The San Diego Padres, established in 1969, are now the only team in the majors without a no-hitter. The New York Mets previously had 35 one-hitters.
During his postgame meeting, an emotional Collins lamented his call to keep Santana in the game due to fear of damaging the shoulder.
"I'm very excited for him, but in 5 days, if his arm is disturbing him, I am not going to feel very good," Collins said.
In the dugout, during the Mets' 3-run 7th inning, Collins told Santana he was his "hero" and then he handed the call of if he needed to stay in or not to Santana.
"I just expounded, 'Look, I tell you men every day you have a say in what goes on here, '" Collins asserted." 'You have a voice and your voice will be heard. '"
Santana was not going to remove himself. In reality, the no-hitter doubtless should have been over before the 7th.
Friday night added to an incredible comeback from shoulder surgery for Santana, who is now pitching as well as when he was perennially a Cy Young Award contender.
With 2 outs in the 8th, the fans chanted "Johan! Johan! Johan! "Santana walked Rafael Furcal on his 118th pitch, and Collins came out to talk with Santana.
During the bottom of the 8th, Santana sat away from his squad at the end of the dugout, waiting for his chance at history. He then made it happen for an organization that has been trying since 1962.
After the last out, Santana did interviews with the Mets' Television and radio station before he walked into the clubhouse. Dickey stated that it was like they were waiting for the king. Dickey and his squad had champagne waiting for Santana.
"We did this together," Santana declared. "It is not just about me. We had a great, fantastic game tonight. Everybody took part. We probably did the little things how we were intended to do it. And it worked out great. I thanked them as we as a team made history tonight."
