Computer Science is the science of algorithms - their theory, analysis, design and implementation. As such it is an interdisciplinary field with roots in mathematics and engineering and applications in many other academic disciplines. The program at Bryn Mawr is founded on the belief that computer science should transcend from being a subfield of mathematics and engineering and play a broader role in all forms of human inquiry.
The Computer Science Program is supported jointly by faculty at both Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges . The program welcomes students who wish to pursue a major in computer science. Additionally, the program also offers a minor in computer science, a concentration in computer science (at Haverford College ) and a minor in computational methods (at Bryn Mawr College ). The program also strives to facilitate evolving interdisciplinary majors. For example, students can propose a major in cognitive science by combining coursework from computer science and disciplines such as psychology and philosophy.
All majors, minors and concentrations offered by the program emphasize foundations and basic principles of information science, rather than engineering or data-processing applications. The aim is to provide students with skills that transcend short-term trends in computer hardware and software.
Major in Computer Science
Students are encouraged to prepare a major course plan in consultation with their academic adviser in computer science. The requirements for a major in computer science are three introductory courses (CMSC 110 or 205, 206 and 231), three core courses (CMSC 240, 245 and one of 330, 340 or 345), six electives of a student's choosing and a senior thesis. Students should ensure that they have completed at least three courses in computer science by the end of their sophomore year (we highly recommend CMSC 110, 206 and 231).
Minor in Computer Science
Students in any major are encouraged to complete a minor in computer science. Completing a minor in computer science enables students to pursue graduate studies in computer science, in addition to their own major. The requirements for a minor in computer science at Bryn Mawr are CMSC 110 or 205, 206, 231, any two of CMSC 240, 245, 246, 330, 340 or 345, and two electives chosen from any course in computer science, approved by the student's adviser in computer science. As mentioned above, these requirements can be combined with any major, depending on the student's interest and preparation.
Minor in Computational Methods
This minor is designed to enable students majoring in any discipline to learn computational methods and applications in their major area of study. The requirements for a minor in computational methods are CMSC 110 or 205, 206, 231; one of CMSC 212, 225, 245, 246, 330, 340 or 361; any two computational courses depending on a student's major and interests (there are over 35 such courses to choose from in various departments).
Students can declare a minor at the end of their sophomore year or soon after. Students should prepare a course plan and have it approved by at least two faculty advisers. Students minoring in computational methods are encouraged to propose senior projects/theses that involve the application of computational modeling in their major field of study.

A group of Facilities Services workers are getting an opportunity to sharpen their English skills thanks to a free program offered by the English Language Institute. The class, which began in January, meets Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Four faculty from ELI volunteered to teach the class on a rotating basis, and about nine facilities staffers, all of whom speak English as a second language, have stuck with the course. The final class of the semester is Friday, April 25.

Stupid Populations
Nope, I don't think this proves that the French are hopeless scientific illiterates:
The video should be self-explanatory, but I'll point out that the question is (approximately) "Which object orbits the earth?" And the choices are: the moon, the sun, Mars, Venus.
Come on. More than 2/5s of the audience got the answer right!
BTW, I'm not (just) being snarky. This doesn't prove that the French are stupid any more than Jay Walking or an opinion poll showing that 1 in 5 Americans think that the sun orbits the earth proves that Americans are stupid. There are profound and depressing examples of human ignorance to be found all over the planet. (Even Europe!) But the simple fact is, as often repeated here, people are getting smarter.
Yep. Even Americans.
You see a lot of hand-wringing about how the US, driven by religious fundamentalism, is becoming increasingly scientifically illiterate. I wonder. We're shocked when we see that half of Americans don't believe in evolution, or that 20% of us are as clueless about how the solar system is set up as 56% of that French game-show audience. But the pertinent question is, what would those same polls have shown 25, 50, 100 years ago? And what will they show 25, 50, 100 years from now?

Minneapolis MN (SPX) Nov 28, 2013
Harvesting existing cropland more frequently could substantially increase global food production without clearing more land for agriculture, according to a new study from the Institute on the Environment (IonE) at the University of Minnesota.
The study, published in Environmental Research Letters, tracked global harvest trends of 177 crops between 1961 and 2011. It found that the total amount of land harvested increased four times faster than the total amount of cropland between 2000 and 2011, suggesting that harvest frequency was on the rise. This led the authors to wonder if there might be additional gains to be had by strategically increasing cropping frequency.
"Could existing arable lands get more frequent harvests, and what is the upper limit?" asked Deepak Ray, lead author of the study. To answer that question, he introduced a new concept: harvest gap.
Harvest gap is the difference between actual per-year harvest frequency and the maximum potential frequency. Ray and the study's co-author, IonE director Jonathan Foley, estimated that on average an extra harvest is being missed globally every two years due to the presence of this harvest gap.
The researchers found that Africa, Latin America and Asia have the highest concentration of potential harvest gaps. Brazil, for example, which on average harvests its croplands nearly once per year, has a harvest gap of 0.9, suggesting that on its current arable lands a second harvest is possible each year.
Closing the gap would boost crop production on existing croplands without resorting to further clearing for agriculture, and so could potentially reduce the pressure to destroy additional rain forest. Increased harvest frequency also holds potential for mitigating risk under a changing climate. Worldwide, the researchers found that closing harvest gaps worldwide could theoretically boost production more than 44 percent.
Ray notes the study amounts to "scientific eyeballing," since only national data were available and only for 177 crops. To fully quantify the potential impact, more local data would be needed, and local farmers would have to weigh the benefits against the costs of additional harvests, which may turn out to be prohibitive.
In addition, the researchers note that efforts to increase crop harvest frequency must also be wary of leading to deterioration of soil, water and the agricultural land base. "Depending on local environmental conditions, agronomic practices and social contexts, increasing cropland harvest frequency could present a short-term gain in crop production, with long-term losses in agricultural yields and environmental conditions. Only if increasing frequency of harvests can be done sustainably is this strategy a potential way to address some of the challenges of crop production and food security," they write.
Localized studies suggest that farmers around the world already are benefiting from increasing the number of harvests. "Introduction of second crops, generally corn following the primary soybean crop, has increased local incomes across economic sectors," the report noted. Countries in which cropping frequency already is increasing include Brazil, India and China; however, others, including many African nations, have shown a decline in recent years.
More frequent cropping, the authors said, represents a potentially powerful "third way" of increasing food production, in addition to expanding cropland and increasing harvest yields, both of which are widely studied by IonE researchers.
"The challenge for our generation is to meet growing food demands without destroying our environment. Increasing cropland harvest frequency is another piece toward solving the global food security puzzle," Foley said.

Focus Features joins forces with Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Prods. and Sam Mendes' Neal Street Prods. to bring Joseph O'Neill's novel to the big screen.
"Netherland", the novel that won author Joseph O'Neill the 2009 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, is getting a big screen treatment. Focus Features, Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions and Sam Mendes' Neal Street Productions have come together to develop the feature adaptation for the critically acclaimed novel.
Academy Award-winning director Mendes will serve as producer alongside his Neal Street partner Pippa Harris as well as Harpo's Winfrey and Kate Forte. The 44-year-old husband of actress Kate Winslet reportedly eyes the project as a potential directing vehicle as well. His production house has a first-look deal with Focus.
Christopher Hampton, the screenwriter for "Atonement", joins to write the script. Of Hampton's involvement, Focus Features CEO James Schamus said, "We're so glad to have Christopher join our creative partnership with Harpo and Neal Street. This project's emotional power has resonated with us all."
Published on January 5 by Harper Perennial, "Netherland" revolves around the life of a Dutchman living in New York in the wake of the September 11 attacks. Left alone in the Big Apple when he becomes estranged from his wife, he turns to his childhood game of cricket and forms an unlikely bond to immigrant culture.

As you may have heard, Apple unveiled its new lower-cost, plastic-bodied iPhone yesterday, called the iPhone 5C. While Twitter has already been speculating as to what that "C" might stand for, Dartanion London already figured it out a couple of days before the launch.
They called it the "Cheapass" (pronounced Cha-Pahs).
"We decided to use more plastic," says Gary Miller, Minerals Scientist and Secret Keeper. "But this isn't some garden variety material - we harvest the plastic when it's still a baby so it's soft and supple. It's like the veal of plastic."
Great job, guys:
Despite the iPhone 5C's $99 price tag (with a two-year contract, of course), analysts are already saying that it's not cheap enough to compete in emerging markets. Oh well, at least enthusiastic iPhone 5C buyers will be able to cover their plastic iPhone in a $29 plastic case. Take that, you metal-loving assholes.

Precious metals such as silver, gold, and tin attract merchants to the Anatolian plateau, particularly from the northern Mesopotamian city of Ashur. These merchants establish trading centers (karum)such as the one at Kanesh (modern Kültepe)and the details of their transactions are documented in cuneiform tablets, the earliest texts found in the region. During the fourteenth century, the Hittite kingdom, with its capital at Hattusha (modern Bogazköy) and religious center at Yazilikaya, creates an empire extending into northern Syria. By around 1200 B.C., Hattusha is violently destroyed and the Hittite empire collapses.
In the Caucasus, the earlier culture of Kura-Araxes gives way to the Trialeti culture, known for its particular form of burial. Large mounds with extensive underground graves contain bronze weapons, tools, and unique artifacts in gold and silver.
Learn more about the geography of Anatolia and the Caucasus.
ca. 22001500 B.C. In Georgia and part of Armenia, the Trialeti culture develops from the earlier Kura-Araxes tradition. Because their settlements are today difficult to find, some think that the peoples of the Southern Caucasus are pastoralists around this time. The elite are interred in large, very rich burials under earth and stone mounds, which sometimes contain four-wheeled carts. The precious materials in these tombs reflect influences from Anatolia; pottery from the Trialeti culture is found in simple burials in eastern Anatolia.
ca. 19501750 B.C. Assyrian merchants from northern Mesopotamia establish trading colonies (karum) in Anatolia at sites including Kültepe (ancient Kanesh). The presence of these merchants is known primarily from the large number of clay tablets that record the commercial transactions and correspondence between the merchants in Anatolia and those at home in Assyria.
ca. 17001000 B.C. In Homer's Iliad, the site of Troy, in Anatolia, is known as "Troia" or "Ilios." Archaeologists dispute which level of settlement at Troy is specifically referred to by Homer, but it is considered to be either late level VI (ca. 17001250 B.C.) or level VII (ca. 12501000 B.C.). In both levels, pottery from Mycenaean Greece is found, demonstrating connections between this part of Anatolia and Greece. In period VI, Troy is an enormous settlement, among the largest trading centers in Anatolia at this time.
ca. 13801340 B.C. After many years of successful military campaigning, the Hittite empire, with its capital at Bogazköy (ancient Hattusha, founded ca. 1650 B.C.), reaches its maximum extent in central and southeast Anatolia as well as lands to the south, which border on Egyptian-controlled territory. The ruler Shuppiluliuma I is both a great general and a master builder of large stone structures decorated with stone reliefs. It is during this time that concepts of the sacred nature of royal leaders develop. The influence of Hittite language, art, and ideas continues after the fall of the empire in independent states in southeastern Anatolia.
ca. 1200800 B.C. and later In West and Central Anatolia, this is a time of great social and political change, marked by invasions of many foreign groups, including the "Sea Peoples," Thracians, and Phrygians. Mycenaean settlements in the coastal areas come to an end, and the Hittite empire is destroyed.

How close is Mitt Romney to locking up the Republican party's nomination for president? Close enough that his remaining viable GOP rival is now accusing him of committing capitalism.
Newt Gingrich wants voters to know that, under Mr Romney's leadership, Bain Capital, the private equity firm, bought up poorly performing companies, fired workers to revitalise them and sold the newly-streamlined firm for enormous profits. Mr Gingrich's charge may be smart politics during a period of high unemployment, but it seems a bizarre one from a man who uses the word socialism almost as an expletive.
The problem with this is that it obscures a much more important debate: what is the proper role of corporate money in American politics?
Following a Supreme Court decision in January 2010, super-political action committees that support a particular candidate without formal ties to his/her campaign, can now spend unlimited sums without having to disclose where the money came from. This gives corporate America extraordinary power within the US political process. But Americans won't hear their public officials debating the wisdom of this system because elected officials in both parties know that it provides incumbents with crucial electoral advantages.
It is corporate influence in US politics, not "predatory capitalism", that is the primary force now widening the gap between America's haves and have-nots. Read more

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
Condition: Standard
DustJacket: Standard
All Product Details
Dr. Samenow's three decades of working with criminals have reaffirmed his argument that factors such as poverty, divorce, and media violence do not cause criminality. Rather, as Samenow documents here, all criminals share a particular mind-set--often evident in childhood--that is disturbingly different from that of a responsible citizen.
While new types of crime have grown more prevalent, or at least more visible to the public eye--from spousal abuse to school shootings--little has changed in terms of our approach to dealing with crime. Rehabilitation programs based on the assumption that society is more to blame for crime than the criminal, an assumption for which a causal link has yet to be established, have proved to be grossly inadequate. Crime continues to invade every aspect of our lives, criminal court dockets and prisons are oppressively overcrowded and expensive, and recidivism rates continue to escalate.
To embark on a truly corrective program, we must begin with the clear understanding that the criminal chooses crime; he chooses to reject society long before society rejects him. The criminal values people only to the extent that he can use them for his own self-serving ends; he does not justify his actions to himself. Only by "habilitating" the criminal, so that he sees himself realistically and develops responsible patterns of thought, can we change his behavior.
It is vital that we know who the criminal is and how and why he acts differently from responsible citizens. From that understanding can come reasonable, compassionate, and effective solutions.

Portland, Oregon (AFP) June 7, 2012
Environmental protection workers stripped seaweed and barnacles Thursday from a tsunami-wrecked dock washed up on a US beach, to guard against "invasive species" from Japan.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife ordered the action after the 66-foot (20-meter) long concrete and metal structure, the biggest piece of tsunami debris to reach the US West Coast so far, landed on a beach in Oregon.
A dozen or so workers and volunteers used shovels, rakes and other tools to scrape the wreck clean, then briefly used low-pressure flame torches to sterilize the dock, said the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD).
OPRD spokesman Chris Havel said the Japanese marine life clinging to it could harm the local environment.
"A species that evolves in an ecosystem evolves with natural checks and balance," Havel told AFP.
"When you take an organism out of the environment, and put it in a new environment, the balance is lost. It can outcompete the native species and animals," he added.
"You end up with the native ecosystem being kicked out and the unbalanced ecosystem taking its place."
The wrecked dock appeared off the coast on Monday, and washed up early Tuesday on Agate beach, near the town of Newport some 100 miles (160 kilometers) southwest of Portland.
Oregon officials contacted Japanese diplomats, who confirmed it was debris from the March 11, 2011 tsunami and had drifted 5,500 miles across the Pacific.
Japanese officials confirmed that the dock -- 66 feet long, 19 feet wide and 7 feet tall -- came from the port of Misawa, in Aomori prefecture in the northern part of Japan. A Japanese-language metal plaque was dated June 2008.
The wreck has been checked for radioactivity -- the killer earthquake and tsunami triggered a disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant on Japan's east coast -- but proved negative, said the OPRD spokesman.
But the marine life still represented an environmental threat, he said.
"One of the organisms they identified is algae, it's a wakame. It looks like kelp. It's native to Japan, it's invaded Southern California. It's not currently present in Oregon," he said.
"Because of that and the possibility of other species that don't belong here, we've cleaned the entire surface of the dock. After they scraped it down, they hit it with a short burst of fire to sterilize it."
Various debris from the Japanese tsunami have begun washing up on the US and Canadian west coast, and experts predict a surge of flotsam in the coming months.
The OPRD spokesman said the dock was bigger than either a trawler scuttled off Alaska in April for safety reasons, or a shipping container with a Harley-Davidson inside that washed up on a Canadian beach at the start of May.
Havel added that it was impossible to estimate how much extra it will cost West Coast authorities to clean up debris caused by the Japanese tsunami.
Oregon's budget for coastal cleanup has been increased to prepare for the tsunami debris. This year the Oregon parks department has budgeted $135,000, he said.
But he warned: "No single agency's budget is prepared for many instances of this. No single agency is going to be able to put the money into it and call it good.
"This is not just an Oregon question, this is a Washington, California, Alaska question," he said, referring to other US West Coast states. "We can pay for this one instance," he added.
"What's not sure is where do we go from here."

Integrating Aromatherapy In Your Daily Healing Program
The beneficial effects of aromatherapy are well-documented. The Egyptians were experts in the use of cosmetology and created perfumes, incense and herbal preparations. They realized the importance of fragrance in everyday life and used their herbal preparations to enhance beauty and create a sense of well-being.
Although aromatherapy dates from ancient times, its wider acceptance is more recent. Ten years ago, it was dismissed as an alternative therapy practiced by hippies and it was not accepted as a part of orthodox medicine. Today, aromatherapy is seen as a complementary therapy which has its place in a more holistic approach to health.
So what exactly does an aromatherapist offer?
The aromatherapist aims to treat the client as a whole, to maintain a balance in his/her physical, mental and spiritual health. This is achieved through a consultation with the client to establish any concerns which they might have and the careful selection of essential oils, based on the properties of the individual oils and the synergy created in blending them together.
Aromatherapy offers a healing approach to the stresses of daily life. Essential oils are distilled from plant material and are highly concentrated and chemically complex substances, with both physical and emotional benefits. Used under the guidance of a professional aromatherapist, they offer a safe and natural approach to health.
The quality of the essential oils used is of paramount importance. In order for them to have therapeutic benefits, it is essential that the oils selected are 100% pure and organic or wild-crafted. Inferior grade oils or those intended as fragrance oils do not offer the same therapeutic benefits and may be potentially harmful. Organic oils should be used whenever possible as a concentrated chemical cocktail is undesirable.
Massage offers easy penetration of the skin; allowing the essential oil blend to be absorbed into the bloodstream, where it stimulates the immune system. The recognized properties of essential oils include anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral effects, which support the body and promote healing.
There are many other methods of application in aromatherapy, including aromatic baths, which are probably one of the most pleasant ways of experiencing essential oils. A bath offers an opportunity to relax and unwind and the oils can affect the mood as well as relieving muscle discomforts and aiding sleep.
If total immersion is impossible or impractical, it is still possible to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy through a shower or even a foot or hand bath. What could be more enjoyable at the end of a tiring day than soaking the feet in a foot bath with an essential oil blend to ease tension and promote relaxation? Sitz baths are another bathing method commonly used in aromatherapy, particularly in relieving symptoms related to the female reproductive tract. Alternating between hot and cold sitz baths is an effective method of relieving pelvic congestion and easing constipation.
For more local applications compresses may be applied as a means of relieving sprains and strains to muscles; swelling and inflammation of joints. Compresses may be applied hot or cold, depending on the nature of the problem and in some cases, alternating between the two is beneficial.
Inhalation is another method of application used in aromatherapy. This may be through vaporization using an essential oil burner or inhalation with a steam diffuser or the old-fashioned method of breathing in the essential oil vapors over a bowl of hot water.
The undiluted application of essential oils to the skin have their use in aromatherapy, but it is always advisable to consult a Certified Aromatherapist before considering this method of application. Certain oils can cause quite severe skin irritation and even burning of the skin (testing one drop on the inside of the arm is sometimes used). When in doubt, always dilute an essential oil in a base or carrier oil or cream prior to application and remember that essential oils are highly concentrated and should be treated with respect.
Marie is a Certified Professional Aromatherapist based in Toronto, Canada. She founded her company Marie Chantal to create high-quality natural skin care products and to promote the use of organic and wild-crafted essential oils. The philosophy behind the company grew from concerns about the ingredients commonly found in mass-produced creams and lotions and a desire to produce a purer alternative.

You are hereHome › Norrie reception
Norrie reception
To view images from the reception, click here
I begin by greeting everyone in the languages of the realm of New Zealand, in English, Māori, Cook Island Māori, Niuean, Tokelauan and New Zealand Sign Language. Greetings, Kia Ora, Kia Orana, Fakalofa Lahi Atu, Taloha Ni and as it is the evening (Sign).
I then specifically greet you: Sir Michael Hardie Boys, my predecessor in office and Chair of the Trustees of the New Zealand Portrait Gallery; Avenal McKinnon, Director of the New Zealand Portrait Gallery and your husband John; Your Excellency Paul O'Sullivan, High Commissioner for Australia to New Zealand and your wife Merrilyn; Distinguished Guests otherwise; Ladies and Gentlemen.
Welcome to you all from Susan and I to Government House to this celebration of the return of the Norrie Collection and other portraits to Government House.
I wish to speak briefly of the significance of the collection, and its travels during the two-and-half years that this House underwent significant conservation.
In 1957 Sir Willoughby Norrie, who later became Lord Norrie, and Lady Patricia Norrie, gifted a collection of twelve British royal portraits to New Zealand. Announcing the gift of the portraits, by letter to the Prime Minister, Sir Sidney Holland, Norrie wrote that the artworks were "a small token of gratitude for our great happiness during four and half years in New Zealand."
A number of the portraits had been purchased in 1953 soon after Norrie became Governor-General. Others were already in the Norrie's possession. Their substantial gift remains a principal treasure here with some paintings that are more than 300 years old. They link the Governor-General's residence with the Queen of New Zealand and with the English Royal story.
The Collection can be said to be the heart of the art on display here. It represents a history that is relevant to New Zealand's adoption of the Westminster tradition. The earliest portrait is that of King Richard II who reigned in the late 1300s. The other monarchs after Richard II whose paintings are on the walls can be said to represent the evolving history of Parliament in whose interests they were served.
The twelve portraits in order of lineage include those of King Richard II already mentioned, King Henry VIII who reigned at the beginning of the 1500s, King Edward VI, who followed Henry, Queen Mary I, Queen Elizabeth I who reigned from 1558 until 1603, King Charles I from 1625 to 1649, his consort Queen Henrietta Maria, King Charles II in martial dress, King James II, and Prince George of Denmark, who was Prince Consort to Queen Anne at the beginning of the 1700s. Lastly, a portrait of the three eldest children of King Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria is not there as it is currently undergoing restoration.
When the House is full of visitors we always notice that people congregate near "the Norries" to gaze at the portraits of the British royalty covering a more than 200 year period. People appear to look hard at each face for hairstyle, clothes, and other symbols reflecting the historical era and context.
The one artwork that can be called 'the odd one out' is the portrait of Oliver Cromwell whose contributions took place in the 1650s and who can be described as having put the grit in the Royal oyster which led to Parliament setting the terms of the contract with Charles II that whilst the Monarch reigns, the Government rules - which is the arrangement we inherit in New Zealand today.
Portraits, not part of the Norrie Collection, but which have returned, and form part of the Government House collection, include two hanging in this Ballroom.
Behind me hangs the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of New Zealand. This particular portrait was commissioned by Sir Charles Lyttelton, Viscount Cobham, who was Governor-General of New Zealand from 1957 to 1962. It is now back in its place of honour here and can be said to endorse the Sovereign's role in the function of this room which hosted six investiture ceremonies in the week just gone.
On your right is a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, in whose name the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840. Queen Victoria herself commissioned this portrait for St James's Palace and it was apparently her favourite portrait of herself. It is on permanent loan from the Royal Collection.
Behind me in the Blundell Drawing Room, is what is today regarded as the very significant painting of Captain Cook's colleague Captain Charles Clerke with a Maori chief. This painting by the late 18th century English portrait artist and politician, Sir Nathaniel Dance-Holland was given to Government House by Viscount Galway in 1941 but does not appear to have been valued until much later when it was identified in an Aide de Camp's suite and then placed much more suitably. On the main staircase are King Edward VII with Queen Alexandra from the beginning of the 1900s and King George V with Queen Mary from their reign between 1910 and 1936.
The Norrie Collection has now returned from a two and a half year tour. After we saw it at its first stop at the New Zealand Portrait Gallery in Wellington, it spent time at the Sarjeant Gallery in Whanganui and, most recently, at the Tairawhiti Museum in Gisborne.
Tonight we welcome these artworks back to their home where they serve as a reminder of history, and also as familiar friends watching over events in the Norrie Dining Room and prominently elsewhere in the House.
I wish to thank the New Zealand Portrait Gallery from all at Government House for looking after these national treasures and returning them safely (all but the one being restored).
And on that note I will close in our country's first language offering everyone greetings and wishing everyone good health and fortitude in your endeavours. No reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, kia ora, kia kaha, tēnā koutou katoa.

About David
Who is David Mount? And why should you listen to him?
That's a valid question. It's actually one that I think more people should ask when they are searching for a piano teacher or musician. I began teaching piano lessons in 1986. And since then I have taught well over 29,000 lessons. That's right. Twenty-Nine-Thousand Lessons! Some of my students are now music teachers themselves. I always love to hear those stories. I grew up with a love for the instrument and always found myself either practicing or playing for fun in my spare time. When I was 12 years old, I started playing the piano at weddings. I even had business cards made up at age 12 for playing piano at weddings. At age 13, I gave my first piano lesson and I was hooked. I had a small motorcycle that I would ride around to people's houses giving piano lessons. At age 14, I began playing piano for the choirs at my high school. That turned into a love for accompanying that I still have to this day. I continued to teach piano lessons while in high school at a couple of the local music stores. Then after high school I received a music scholarship to a University, where, (you guessed it) I majored in piano.
(3rd Album: Unexpected Journey)
I have had numerous experiences playing in a multitude of situations...from being a guest organist at Dodger Stadium, to playing piano at a private party at Liberace's house, to playing in bands, to music directing entire casts, to conducting, to being an adjudicator, to traveling the country and accompanying some of the best musicians and singers in the world with over 1,300 live performances to date. I love what I do and I am passionate about it!
Some of the other work I have done has included working with concert choirs, jazz-choirs, jazz-bands, show-choirs, combos, wind ensembles, as well as playing numerous concerts, competitions, churches, community events, musical theatre productions, recording studios/sessions, radio, TV, Live auditions (one of my favorites), rehearsals, vocal soloists, instrumentalists, Elementary schools, Middle schools, High schools, Colleges, etc.
Point being, I have real-life experience when it comes to music and I know what works and what doesn't. Choosing a teacher or musician based on anything else can usually be less than what you were hoping for. So, that's me in a nut shell. Down to earth, real-life-experience-driven musician and teacher.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Dissent: AFDI v King County
Today The Supreme Court of the United States denied our cert petition in this case. However, Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Alito, filed an excellent dissent, see below. The dissent is just that, a dissent. It is not the outcome we wanted, but it is certainly worth reading. It boils this fight down to its essential oils.
Thomas and Alito, the only two real Constitutionalists on the court. This is why Scalia's replacement is so critical.

The November 2012 New Jersey Ballot -
Two Statewide Questions
In addition to voting for candidates for a variety of offices in November, New Jersey voters will also be asked to vote "yes" or "no" on two public questions. The opinion of the majority is binding and will determine State policy on these matters.
$750 MILLION BOND FOR NJ COLLEGE CONSTRUCTIONVoters will determine whether or not New Jersey should provide $750 million for certain types of new construction at specified New Jersey colleges and universities. The bond issue would include:
$300 million for new facilities at public research universities including Rutgers University and the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
$247.5 million for facilities at the eight state colleges and universities.
$150 million to county colleges.
$52.5 million to private institutions, except for those with total endowments of more than $1 billion — a caveat meant to exclude Princeton University.
NEW JERSEY JUDICIAL SALARY AND BENEFITS AMENDMENTThis question asks voters to vote yes or no on amending the New Jersey State Constitution to redefine justices' and judges' salary and pension benefits. Specifically, if approved by a majority of the voters, the measure would establish that lawmakers have the authority to increase the amount judges have to contribute to their benefits. The measure was proposed and approved for placement on the ballot by the Legislature and Governor following a New Jersey Supreme Court declaring that a recent measure to increase judges' pension and benefit costs was unconstitutional. The rationale of the Court was that the current language of the New Jersey State Constitution is meant to protect judges once they are on the bench from being subject to undue influence and potential retaliation by a Governor and legislators who may disagree with decisions they have made or are considering. Those disagreeing with this decision believe the Constitutional protection is, and should remain, limited to salaries and not be applied to benefits.

There's been a trend this summer on Shapeways of Shapies designing custom wedding rings and bands. Miguel, one of our community members, did just this for his August 3rd wedding. Due to some unfortunate summer scheduling issues, the ring that was supposed to arrive July 30th, in time for the wedding, was now scheduled to ship August 2nd and would arrive on August 5th, two days too late. Shapeways Eindhoven began to strategize… the ring had to be there for the wedding! They looked into overnighting the ring to Madrid, but it was going to cost at least 700 EUR! At a stand still, the Eindhoven office decided to call Miguel and break the bad news.
On August 2nd, the Eindhoven office received an extra silver shipment of late orders… and the ring was inside! Thrilled, the team set off on finding a way to get it to Miguel. UPS online said it wouldn't be possible to ship the ring overnight. While Adela was on the phone with UPS Customer Service, Jan tried to find a community member flying from Amsterdam to Madrid that day. Finally, they were able to convince UPS to ship the ring so it would arrive the next day at 1pm. They called up Miguel with the great news, who was extremely happy, especially because he had been on his way to buy a replacement ring.
Miguel e-mailed saying "During the morning I had to call and mobilize UPS Spain… And the ring arrived 5min before going out from home to the ceremony!" He also attached the above picture of his wife, Natalia, wearing the ring during the ceremony. They are now enjoying their honeymoon at the beach! Congratulations Miguel and Natalia, and thanks for letting us share your story!

Kelly wins the prize for having the kids I most want to own.
The boy really does seem to be into his Meditations for the Humanist book…
[tags]atheist, atheism, Meditations for the Humanist, Humanism, Anecdotes and Confessions[/tags]
That is a sad picture to see kids being indoctrinated into the religion of Secular humanism. You do not understand the consequences when the parents find out when they are wrong. Remember rich man and Lazarus .
The Bible refers to the fate of the unsaved with such fearful words as the following: Shame and everlasting contempt" (Daniel 12:2), Everlasting punishment" (Matthew 25:46), Weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 24:51), Fire unquenchable" (Luke 3:17), Indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish" (Romans 2:8,9), Everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord" (2 Thessalonians 1:9), Eternal fire…the blackness of darkness for ever" (Jude 1:7,13) Revelation 14:10,11 tells us the final, eternal destiny of the sinner: "He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone…the smoke of their torment ascended up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day or night."
Now imagine this fate to our grown up children, how sad. We must guide them properly, not like this couple decided to do this is plain reckless.
own? kids?
You're crossing the line again.
Really, damning our children to hell. Is there any depths to which you will not sink?
Are you really here to make us hate christianity? Because you are doing a very good job of it.
I don't threaten your children with fantasy torture. Why do you threaten us?
I think I get how you feel, however, you must understand that not everyone believes what is written in the Bible will come to pass. What if you lived your life the way you wanted, and someone told you that you're living a reckless life because you're not following the five pillars of Islam?
If you feel strongly enough about the fate of these children, then contact your government representatives and mandate an education in Christian theology, because the fate of their eternal souls is at risk.
What is most important for children is critical thinking, not guidance. If they believe in God, great, as long as they know why they do, and that they are still thinking about it. If they don't believe in God, great too, as long as they know why they don't, and that they are still thinking about it as well.
Hemant-he sat looking at the book for quite a while. He can't actually read yet, but I'm thinking some of it might have sunk in!
Dan-the boy can't read. His soul is safe for now. Thanks for your concern.
Great parody Dan!! That is funny stuff . . .oh you were serious? My bad.

This is not like any carrot cake I've had before, but that doesn't mean the cake isn't good, 'cause it is VERY TASTY ~ something like a dense lemon cake with some carrots in it (& cranberries, which I dearly love)!

HUDSON — Nerves are usually a factor when a team has never experienced the pressure of the big stage. Fivay saw that first hand Wednesday in its Class 5A region quarterfinal, its first appearance at that level.
The Falcons fell 6-3 to Dunnellon as the team surrendered opportunities with shaky defense.
The Tigers (15-11) had no problem with experience and seemed comfortable from the start. In their fifth consecutive playoff appearance, a run that includes two state titles in 2009 and 2010, Dunnellon went with No. 2 starter Nicole Drew on the mound.
Drew entered the night with an ERA of 7.22, but her ability to contain damage allowed her to avoid costly big innings in the win. She went 6 1/3 innings, scattering 11 hits and two walks while striking out seven. The junior hurler was effectively wild throughout the game, tossing two wild pitches that set up the Falcons' first run, but the unpredictability of her location seemed to keep Fivay (16-13) off balance.
The Falcons squandered numerous chances at the plate. The home team loaded the bases on four separate occasions and was only able to push across two runs in those situations.
"They got the big hit, and that was the difference in the game," coach Greg Bollinger said. "We couldn't get the momentum-changing hit that they were able to get."
A two-out bases-loaded triple from Dunnellon's Jody Weber (2-for-4, five RBIs) pushed the Tigers ahead 4-2 in the fifth.
Fivay ace Jill McElderry (complete game, eight hits, one walk, nine strikeouts, four earned runs) fell subject to tough luck. Two of her strikeouts ended up on base from passed balls and eventually ended up scoring. The first run for Dunnellon also scored on a throwing error as Tigers catcher Ashlee Winn tried to steal third.
Tavares 2, Pasco 1: The Pirates' season ended with Wednesday's one-run loss at district champion Tavares (23-3) in the Class 5A region quarterfinals. Pasco (18-6) suffered a first-round exit at regionals for just the second time in the past four seasons. The Pirates ended their season by allowing fewer than two runs in three of their last four games.

Andover Biography - Abraham Marland
Abraham Marland, born in Ashton Lancashire in 1772, was one of the founders of the textile industry in New England. He apprenticed in Lancashire and then emigrated to America in 1801, working first in the cotton mills in Byfield. He eventually settled in Andover because of the water power manufacturing cotton first and changing to wool. During the War of 1812 his company manufactured blankets for the army. After the war he began to manufacture woolens and leased land on the Shawsheen River and erected a brick mill and tenement houses. By 1832 after aquiring more and more land on the Shawsheen River, he built the Marland Manufacturing Company. Marland Manufacturing Company was sold to Moses T. Stevens of North Andover in July of 1870. Stevens continued to produce flannel and woolens.
He founded Christ Church donating the land and building a rectory in 1835.
