HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Coker College basketball player Andrew Morris has been named to the 2012-13 Capital One Academic-All America men's basketball team. Morris was named to the second team for Division II.
"This recognition proves that Andrew is not just a great player but is also on top of his class as a student," head men's basketball coach Dan Schmotzer said. "I've never been more proud of an award given to one of my players than this one. He is an all-conference player in basketball, but to get All-American status for academics is really what you come to play for."
Morris is the first player from the Coker men's basketball team to achieve All-American status academically since the school transitioned from NAIA to NCAA affiliated. Former basketball player Terrance Hayes was an academic All-American when the school was NAIA.
On Feb. 1, Morris was named to the Capital One All-District first team. As a first-team selection, he was automatically qualified for All-American status.
To be eligible for academic All-America consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director.
Morris is a senior business major with a 4.0 grade-point average. On the court, Morris, a guard, is averaging nearly 12 points and four rebounds per game for the Cobras through 22 games. He was a Conference Carolinas third team all-conference selection for the 2011-12 season.
Morris transferred to Coker after a two-year stint at New Mexico Junior College. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Andrew is the son of Richard and Rosemary Morris.
For more information, contact Chris Dougherty, manager of athletics media relations, at 843-383-8018 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Coker College readies undergraduates for personal and professional success through a distinctive four-year program that emphasizes a practical application of the liberal arts as well as hands-on and discussion-based learning within and beyond the classroom. Coker is ranked among the "Best Colleges" in the South by U.S. News & World Report as well as The Princeton Review. Located in Hartsville, S.C., Coker is within two hours of the cultural, financial and recreational resources of Charlotte, Columbia, Charleston and Myrtle Beach.

It's been over a week since the ACE/AB trip working in NOLA. As I reflect on our five days of service, I have a message for those reading this blog.
For students: The opportunities to do meaningful service with the Alternative Breaks program at SMU are wonderful. During AB trips, students meet others they would perhaps not otherwise meet on campus. For example, on our trip we had a student from Meadows who did not know many students outside of the Meadows school; we had a first-year student; and we had a transfer student who had just started at SMU in August.
The AB program travels to some great locations – including NOLA, Los Angeles, Boston, Austin, Taos and NYC – and works with community service agencies dealing with important concerns such as poverty, hunger, homelessness, disaster relief, AIDS and affordable housing. Learn how to apply to the program here.
Students don't have to leave town or commit a week, however. Through the Dedman College Center for Academic-Community Engagement (ACE) you can become involved in sustained engagement or in a one-time volunteer event. At ACE we have relationships with service agencies helping various populations in the Dallas area. And generally all of the agencies with whom we work are located within 10 miles of campus. ACE has opportunities including service learning courses, work-study, ACE fellowships, ACE/AB trips, and living at the ACE House. Learn about these opportunities on our website and Facebook page, where you can see photos of our service events.
So while the AB program deals with issues in areas beyond the city limits, ACE deals with all of those same concerns here in North Texas. And ACE has relationships with service agencies that greatly need the help and support of the SMU student community. Please get in touch if you would like to become involved: call 214-768-4852 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
For faculty and staff: The Alternative Breaks program is a wonderful way to be engaged with students. The trips are student-organized and -run, so the faculty/staff adviser goes along for the ride and the service, and is present in case of emergency. The site leaders are SMU students who thoughtfully and carefully plan every activity.
ACE also is a resource for faculty/staff who are interested in connecting with a local agency to do service work. And for faculty who would like to add a service learning component to a course, there are sample syllabi on the ACE website as well as suggestions for how to manage this type of classroom requirement.
For community members reading this blog: Please know that we have a wonderful group of students, faculty and staff committed to creating positive change both locally and elsewhere. If there are needs within your agency or population, please contact ACE or SMU's Community Engagement and Leadership Office. We would be happy to meet and discuss how we might be of service.
In closing, we are ACE, we are CEL, and we are SMU Dedman College – and we are here to help.

CHICAGO—According to data from The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, Americans consume more of their daily calories as snacks rather than as meals. This means the food industry has a great opportunity to help improve overall health by developing healthier snacks that are high in protein as well as low in sodium and sugar. The Wellness 14 conference hosted by Institute of Food Technologists (IFT)—taking place at the Westin Chicago River North March 20 and 21—is an excellent opportunity for industry professionals to gain insights into the science, development, and marketing of healthier snack foods. Several noteworthy speakers in food, medicine and media will be leading sessions.
Highlights at this year's conference include:
The public tends to hold mistaken and even dangerous ideas about nutrition that typically run contrary to the general scientific consensus about healthy diets. One especially troubling result is the rise of a loud, passionate and influential "whole food" movement convinced that all processed food is unhealthy, period. This unscientific belief threatens to make it difficult for food companies to bring out products engineered to cut sugar, fat and calories while retaining mass appeal, a critical step toward fixing the obesity crisis. Where do these ideas come from, and why do so many in the public fall for them rather than listening to what scientists say? And how can scientists and the food industry help restore clear thinking in the public, clearing the way for new, healthier processed foods?
General Session: Know Your Food Science History and Overcome Your Public Trust Issues; Trevor Butterworth, Editor-at-Large, STATS.org
Consumers demand the latest technology for their phones, cars and homes, yet many reject the idea of technology for their food. Through a series of historical tidbits and case studies, Trevor will explain how, in the age of apps, iPads, and social media, food scientists can make food technology exciting in order to win back consumer trust.
Closing Session: The Cleveland Clinic Experience with Wellness: Food is Key; Michael Roizen, MD, Chair, Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute; Chief Wellness Officer, The Cleveland Clinic
Cleveland Clinic felt it could continue to lead in health only if it could reduce the influx of chronic diseases, since they cause over 7 percent of medical cost and disability. Using the Clinic's employee population of 43,000, the Clinic made many mistakes in learning how to drive wellness and bend the cost curve down, but they've learned a lot ,so now they can help others. Dr. Roizen will share some reasons why along with some solutions.
Throughout the two-day event, there will be several interesting sessions covering three separate tracks: protein enhancement, sodium reduction, and sugar reduction. Wellness 14 offers 12 hours of focused education, all of which apply toward Certified Food Scientist (CFS) and Registered Dietitian recertification hours.

One thing that's for sure is that Delta Rae does not lack ambition or appeal on their album Carry the Fire. And simply stated these kids can flat-out sing. The six-piece band, featuring four vocalists, is from North Carolina and they pounce onto the music scene with a collection of songs rooted in their southern upbringing and gospel inspired vocal blend. Carry the Fire is a lively attempt at Americana flavored with plenty of pop sensibility.

Carry the Fire is a lively attempt at Americana flavored with plenty of pop sensibility.
As most people probably know the only things closer to Helen Leicht's heart (other than her family and Paul McCartney) are our local musicians. Helen loves having the opportunity to share this music with you, the WXPN audience.
From the archives of the nationally-acclaimed WORLD CAFE® radio show, comes this series of limited edition CDs. This collection of rare, live performances from the most significant musical artists has created over the past 15 years and today is an absolute must-have for music fans nationwide.
From the Santa Monica Pier to Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble, with three solid years of touring under their collective belt, Angel Band has rapidly expanded their following from opening act up to headliner status. No audience has been known to have been unmoved by Angel Band's all-out stage presence, signature rootsy, bluesy Americana songs, superb back-up band and the vocals of leader and lyricist Nancy Josephson and fellow Angels Kathleen Weber and Aly Paige. Initially performing as opening act and backup singers for Josephson's husband, world-class roots musician David Bromberg at Bonnaroo, Merlefest, the Philadelphia Folk Festival and other high profile events, Angel Band has moved up to playing prestigious concert venues on their own. Voted one of the Top 10 Favorite Bands at Bonnaroo, Angel Band are clearly a group on the ascent.
Born and raised in new York City, Nancy Josephson says "I don't ever remember not singing," and was thumping on an acoustic guitar at age six. She learned to play stand-up bass and was a founding member of the all-girl bluegrass group, the Buffalo Gals. After a move to California in the mid 70's she performed with a number of well-known bluegrass and "new grass" performers, including Arlo Guthrie, Peter Rowan and the Free Mexican Airforce, Laurie Lewis and Kathy Kallick (of the Good Ol' Persons), and The David Bromberg Big Band. She has also sung back-up with Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt and Phoebe Snow, among others.
In 1980, David and Nancy moved to Chicago, where he studied violin making while Nancy sang commercial jingles, joined The Annettes as the only Caucasian in a 30-voice women's choir, raised two young children and switched to visual arts as her main creative outlet. When the city of Wilmington, Delaware asked David and Nancy to become artists in residence in 2002, Nancy initially refrained from joining the bluegrass sessions David organized there, until Bromberg started raving about a mother and sister vocal duo that might accommodate a third voice. "Mainly to satisfy David" Nancy attended the next jam and was hooked by the resultant three-part harmonies. Thus began the formation of Angel Band.
Kathleen Weber comes from a musical family in Philadelphia. She is a four-year veteran of the Angel Band and a lifelong singer; one critic exclaimed "her deep, bluesy voice seems almost out of place in her small frame." You can really hear her influences channeled: Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin and and Alison Krause, among others. Her versatility allows her to move easily between Angel Band's low down and dirty and simple, sweet songs. Aly Paige's vocals are clear, clean and powerful. Originally from Delaware, now living in Philadelphia, Aly joined the band as a novice in the Americana world, but with some roots in the world of opera. Aly belts with the best of them, and one can hear a little Etta James in her approach to the material; soulful, soaring, then close up and intimate, Aly's approach captivates and ignites the audience.
Joseph Arthur's new album, Graduation Ceremony was just released. He's playing the XPoNential Music Festival in July, and he'll be here for XPN's Free At Noon this Friday, June 17.
Singer-songwriter, Joseph Arthur began singing at the age of 21, although his fondness for music and the guitar began earlier than that. Having grown up in Akron, Ohio, Arthur relocated to Atlanta where he found a thriving music scene. A masterful painter as well, Arthur fuses his two passions, designing his own cover art and sometimes using his paintings as backgrounds for his sets. The now Grammy nominated musician's career began with a slow start but with his talent, his success was always destined to be. Having been compared to the likes of Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, and Joe Henry and having toured with Tracy Chapman, Ben Harper, and Gomez, Arthur carries on the legacy of great singer-songwriters.
The Secret Sisters are off to a good start in the music world. Backed by the legendary Jack White, their debut album (produced by White) was just released via Third Man Records. It's full of old-time country and folk, complete with a Johnny Cash cover and the two sisters' take on "Wabash Cannonball."{readmorelink}Read More...{/readmorelink}
This Philly-based trio, originally formed while guitarist Tommy Siegel, pianist Ben Thornewill, and drummer Jesse Kristin were in college in Washington, D.C. – is described as whimsical, quirky, energetic indie band featuring melodic pop tunes driven by a sizzling rock momentum.
When Paul Gilbertson managed to league up with Jim Glennie and Gavin Whelan in Manchester, UK back in 1982, he didn't realize that his actions would create a framework for decades of music to follow. Sharing their music with fans, the group gigged extensively thorughout the 80's before becoming the popular hit band James in the 1990s. It was then that they teamed up with Brian Eno, who pushed them to expand on their brit pop-rock style with new and exciting experimentation in sound. And with that growth, they were able to accentuate their warm melodies and win over the hearts of millions.
Expanding their sound to feature vocals, guitars, keyboards, violin, percussion, bass and trumpet, James maneuvers between quiet intimate moments and rivoting blasts of sound. Their mastery of dynamics and catchy melodies has always proved to be a crowd winning formula, and their impact on modern rock is undeniable.
With 10 released studio albums and millions of internationally sold copies, the modern rockers decided to depart ways in 2001. Returning to the scene in 2007, James is proving to be as capturing as they were when they started. Their latest double feature is a two mini-album release, "The Morning After The Night Before," which were originally released as separate discs in the UK.
So take the time to explore the light and dark side of these new releases at this Friday's Free At Noon. This is one you don't want to miss.

Only more water will help the Bay Delta
Emily Green's story, "Tunneling under California's water wars," reads as if it were written by Governor Jerry Brown's office (HCN, 8/20/12). Those who extract water from the Bay Delta want a reliable supply. Unfortunately, that is not possible. We must adapt to a future with less water, not continue to demand more.
Merely moving the intakes upstream will not save endangered species if more water is not allowed to flow through the Delta. Although some groups have accepted Delta preservation and water supply as equal goals, the Delta needs to be preserved first or everyone loses.
Emily Green writes that the National Marine Fisheries Service supports Gov. Brown's proposed export tunnels, which "might actually help Delta smelt, salmon and steelhead." They might not, as well. The controlling variable is the amount of water left to flow through the Delta. The Contra Costa County Water District says that the proposed tunnels are twice the capacity needed. Even at the reduced capacity of 9,000 cubic feet per second, they could allow too much water to be exported for the survival of the Delta and all the life that depends upon it.
I was relieved that Green acknowledged that three environmental organizations "wonder whether other existing commitments to habitat restoration and increased water conservation will be kept." Many of us who live in the Delta region share these concerns.
The subtitle of this article -- "A pilloried Bay Delta water plan may actually be good for fish" -- does not reflect well upon the HCN that I have come to know, admire and promote to others.
Leonard Lloyd
Oakley, California
HCN responds
The story's subtitle reflected a new position from the National Marine Fisheries Service, not from HCN or myself. Leonard Lloyd's point about Contra Costa County's objections deserves some clarification. Contra Costa is one of the leading Delta water users worried about rising salinity. Their assessment of the flow needed to sustain the Delta and address salinity is interesting, though it wasn't the point of the story. NOAA scientists pushed the recommended flow from 15,000 cubic feet per second down to 9,000 -- a level that their models showed could work for fish. The story addressed the fact that there are no guarantees of new water.

Professor wins $1.8M grant for depression study
Professor wins $1.8M grant for depression study
A Tulane University assistant professor of neuroscience and cell and molecular biology has a five-year federal grant to buy new lab equipment and hire researchers for a study of the role of a brain receptor in treating depression.
A news release says Benjamin Hall's team will study the receptor affected by the anesthetic ketamine.
Hall said Thursday that because ketamine can cause hallucinations, it's not used to treat depression, even though it can rapidly lift depression in patients who don't respond to standard drugs.
Hall says knowing just how ketamine affects the NMDA receptor could help develop antidepressants without its side effects.

Why, might you ask, would I give up all the fun that goes along with critquing red carpet dresses and watching live as John Travolta flubbed Idina Menzel's name? Because (as I can now officially confirm), Queen of the Night is truly the hottest ticket in town!
Set at the beautiful Diamond Horseshoe (a legendary underground club from 1938-1951) at the Paramount Hotel (a historic hotel with a trendy twist) in Times Square, it's an experience like no other from the moment you enter the performance space until you stumble out into a cab.
Upon entering and being ushered down a stairway of champagne flutes that have seen better days and crystal chandeliers crashed on the floor, perfomers immediately probe you with titilating questions like "What's your sexual fantasy?". Those who choose to respond (discretely, of course) are awarded special treatment (and a special cocktail) as they enter the magnificent venue, where a mad scientist theme at the bar meets ornate light fixtures and plush tufted seating, modern neon lights, textured wallpaper and tables built around an extended theatrical stage. In three words: It's f*cking cool.
After being seated around a table with other curious guests, dance performances, circus tricks, juggling, illusions and feats of great physical strength and precision are performed right in front of your very eyes. I won't give away too much, but what some of these performers can do with thier bodies is just mind boggling. In one scenario, a man does back flips and propels himself into the air to land directly through a hoop at least 6 feet off the ground. Every part of the show, loosely based on the Magic Flute by Mozart, will have you guessing How did they do that, even the dinner course of whole lobsters, suckling pig and beef ribs which is served and later cleaned up in a unique way by all of the performers.
The night I attended, design guru Nate Berkus was in attendance, and other notable guests have included Mexicana Jessica Alba (pictured here with a performer from the show), Bobby Cannavale and Rose Byrne.
The show is currently booking through early April (But if I was to guess, I'd say its run is going to be extended) and you can watch a preview video below, but it doesn't reveal too much (as it shouldn't) because Queen of the Night is truly a see-it-to-believe it experience:

Sunbeam® LoftTec Heated Blanket is rated out of 5 by 96.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grav22 from Best Electric Blanket I've Used This blanket is almost a double blanket. Instead of the rather thin, one layer blanket I've bought in the past, this blanket seems to be two layers with the electric warming sandwiched in between. It warms quickly, and the double layer gives the blanket some weight so that it feels warmer even when the blanket is off. One caveat: check your blanket right away for manufacturing defects. Ours had a small area where the fleecy surface was bare - obviously a quality control miss. It doesn't effect the blanket's performance, just a cosmetic defect that I wish I had noticed when I opened the package.

Rated 5 out of 5 by stephen516 from Their Best Yet!!!! I've been a loyal Sunbeam customer since I can remember and can definitely say that this is the plushest and most efficient electric blanket I've ever owned. It is so thick and plush, that I've found myself on occasion not even turning it on. As cold as it's been recently on Long Island, and living approximately 100 ft. from the water, it's been keeping me warm with settings between 2-5. I've also been able to lower my home heating setting at night, which has been a cost saving benefit. Although it took a while for the Loftec Queen Mushroom color to become available again, it was truly worth the wait! Kudos to Sunbeam for their continued success!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Leeta from Works wonderfully, very nice fabric. I bought this back in Dec. 2013, to replace another sunbeam twin size that I'd had since 2003; this fabric is very nice, the control is a 20 setting control which I really appreciate! as temps vary widely in my area. Cording is the same quality Sunbeam and controler is very nice and very easy to use. Auto shut off works great, too. Being in the south, I use this daily/nightly once it gets cold in our area, so say I use this nightly/daily four months out of 12.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ilypan from Love this blanket! I purchased this blanket about a month ago and I cannot imagine how I have slept without it! Not only does it warm the bed on a cold night, even at the number 2 setting (I've noticed that the settings go past 10!) it is also warm and snuggly not being on. It traps in your body heat and gets the bed warm on those "kind of cool" nights. As one who turns the furnace off at night and throws open the windows during those long northeast winter nights I am looking forward to this blanket even more when those temperatures drop to freezing! If you are on the fence about getting this blanket or not.....get the blanket!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ColdOnTheFarm from Thick & Toasty I (and my cat) love my electric blanket. I've had it about two weeks now and it heats up surprisingly fast. Best of all, it captures the heat underneath and makes the sheets toasty unlike other non-Sunbeam blankets I've tried that only got hot on top/the outside. The blanket's texture is comfortably thick and furry, kind of like Fozzie Bear of The Muppets. It has 20 heat settings (although the listing says 10) and I've found that I don't need to use the higher ones. The blanket has a good weight to it that keeps me warm even when off. I also have found myself setting the room temperature lower in the bedroom at night time thanks to the blanket. (Yeah, lower heating bills! :) The controls are easy to use and are not overly bright. I've tried many other electric blanket brands and am very pleased with my Sunbeam.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cherokei from Awesome Blanket I just recently bought this blanket and I absolutely love it. It's so soft and cuddly. The heat is just right and I love the fact that you have 1-20 (HI) settings. Most of the time I don't even have to go up to 10. Oh....it's so warm, I feel like I'm in heaven. So far, no problems with this blanket. The size is great! The length and width is greater than blankets I have purchased in the past. I bought a Full size blanket. This is a great blanket and it is worth the price I paid. I love it so much and is going to purchase another one for my mom. You won't be sorry if you purchase this blanket. I recommend it!

News » Nurturing the artist in your childLast updated 3:04 PM on 11 August 2014
Your child may not go on to become a famous musician, actor, dancer, filmmaker or artist.
But by nurturing the artist in your child you can help them grow up able to think for themselves, problem solve and work out different ways to do things.
They'll also be better able to see different points of view, communicate and express their feelings in different ways.
Here are some top tips:
Stimulate your child's senses - Provide opportunities for your child to experience different sights, smells, sensations and sounds. These sensory activities are food for the brain.
Don't overschedule your child - Resist the temptation to overcrowd your child with organised activities in an attempt to nurture their creativity. Allow them time to be alone, to daydream and to think.
Encourage experimentation and exploration - A cardboard box has limitless potential. Provide materials and objects that encourage your child to explore ideas, experiment, imagine, play and perform.
Encourage difference - Artists and performers respond to the world in many different ways. Move outside your own comfort zone and introduce your child to different kinds and styles of art, music, drama and dance.
Encourage hard work and perseverance - Show appreciation for your child's efforts and suppress the impulse to complete tasks for your child.
Learn from mistakes and learn to take risks - Whether things go well or not, try asking your child these questions: "What worked?", "What didn't work?", "What did you do well or what are you pleased with?", "What would you like to work on?" and "How can I help?"

Ethics on the agenda of regional councilors
Norwich - The region's planning agency will spend the coming weeks developing a proposal to create a regional ethics board.
Elected officials from towns throughout the region comprise the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments, which represents 20 towns in the region. The council has researched the possibility of establishing a regional ethics board in the past. Its executive committee voted to have James S. Butler, the council's executive director, gather past research and prepare a written proposal as to how the board could function.
The idea stems in part from a recent ethics complaint in Montville. The Town Council, which by charter is charged with investigating ethics complaints, considered and later found no probable cause in an ethics complaint one councilor had filed against the council chairwoman.
The process led Dana McFee, who filed the complaint, to argue that the current system leads to conflicts of interest when the council is required to investigate one of its own.
Montville Mayor Ronald K. McDaniel Jr. last week was asked by the town council to approach the council of governments about the regional ethics board. McDaniel said implementing this type of system could require a town charter change. The Town Council could retain the power to act on whatever the regional board's ethics recommends.
"I think it probably makes sense to have an independent review," McDaniel said. "At the end of the day, what changes is who does the fact finding."
Some towns in the region, such as Waterford and New London, have their own separate boards of ethics to investigate complaints against town officials or employees.
New London's Board of Ethics was questioned last year by Reid Burdick, a former city councilor, who argued the board had a conflict of interest when it dealt with a complaint police Chief Margaret Ackley filed against then-City Councilor Michael Buscetto III.
Ackley alleged that Buscetto improperly interfered in police department operations. Her attorney argued that Buscetto should have recused himself from closed-door discussions the City Council had regarding the allegations.
Burdick's point was that some members of the Board of Ethics had either supported or opposed Buscetto in his run for mayor and, as a result, had a conflict in deciding the matter. Ackley eventually dropped the ethics complaint.
Salem First Selectman Kevin Lyden, a member of the council of government's executive board, questioned what kind of liability would be involved with the regional ethics board. For example, Lyden was concerned members of the board potentially could become embroiled in a lawsuit if it recommended termination of an employee in another town.
The current system in Salem calls for the first selectman - or a board-designated alternate in the event a grievance involves the first selectman - to review ethics complaints.
"It seems to work for our town," Lyden said.
Butler, in preliminary conversations, recommended against having chief elected officials sit on the regional ethics board. It also would be necessary for participating towns to pass ordinances ceding authority to the regional board.
Regional ethics commission aims to serve towns when conflicts exist

Some sketchy sketches
Sketches for my class. The topic is body image. Pop culture and sexuality is popular as a topic, but I thought I'd tackle anthropometry and perfect proportions for the artist. Lots of nodding at Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man here.
With how my lungs have been feeling lately, I thought I'd revisit my Asthma Incubus drawing from a few years back, and dive into ArtRage a bit more. This is not even close to done: the figure is on a separate layer so I can delete it after I paint them in properly.
There's also a new Steampunk Trilocopter on the way, with larger, Opipeuterella-ian eyes for the cockpit.

nice work all round!
good to see someone as busy as me!
i especially love the asthma piece. with the dark hazy cloud crushing the figure, it is pretty easy to feel what you are going through.
good luck with it all...

Thanks Traumador!
I don't know if I am quite as busy as you...
Thanks. The asthma painting just feels like one I need to do without a lot of my usual technique. ArtRage so far is freeing me to step back from the planning of an oil painting and just go for it. We'll see how it turns out.

I love the combination of the seemingly robotic parts in these. Very cool. It reminds me of the Vitruvian Transformer that appeared on t-shirts recently. That blending of worlds is very neat. Keep up the good work.

Mom, 2 toddlers fatally stabbed in NYC; dad sought
Mom, 2 toddlers fatally stabbed in NYC; dad sought
Jan. 20, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) — Police investigating the stabbing deaths of a mother and her two young children in New York City say the children's father is a suspect and they're looking for him.
Police said Monday dad Miguel Mejia-Ramos is known to drive a white 2001 Chevrolet commercial van and a white Dodge Suburban.
Police say 21-year-old Deisy Garcia, 2-year-old Daniela Mejia and 1-year-old Yaslin Mejia were found dead in an apartment in the Jamaica section of Queens on Sunday night.
The victims were stabbed multiple times and were found in the apartment's bedroom. Other members of the household discovered the gruesome scene.
Members of Garcia's church say she and her daughters were from Guatemala.

The new "American Idol" is Lee DeWyze, a paint store clerk who overcame his shyness and prevailed over soulful Crystal Bowersox in the singing contest's ninth season.
Host Ryan Seacrest said on Wednesday's finale that the 24-year-old DeWyze of Mount Prospect, Ill., edged Bowersox, also 24, of Toledo, Ohio, in viewer votes cast after Tuesday's performance show.
Although Bowersox drew higher marks from the judges for her performance this week, the panel had reaffirmed its respect for DeWyze's talent and his character – and the audience agreed. He'll release a single, "Beautiful Day."
Wednesday's finale also marked the departure of judge Simon Cowell, walking down memory lane through film clips, a parody song by Dane Clark and the return of ex-judge Paula Abdul.

No pain, no gain.
My back and shoulders are roasting, but I won't budge from the scalding Ibusuki sand baths until my Japanese friend caves.
"I'm okay," I insist, squirming to open a small air pocket between my shoulder blades and the sand scorching my back.
Hot-spring-fuelled sand baths draw thousands of stressed Japanese and foreign tourists a year to Ibusuki, a small seaside resort on Kyushu, one of the four main islands in the Japanese archipelago.
The southern island of Kyushu is known for its near-tropical climate, active volcanoes, historic castles and shrines, pottery, and ubiquitous hot springs and natural sand baths.
The Ibusuki Natural Sand Bath Centre on Kinko Bay is about an hour's drive south of Kagoshima City, a pleasant castle town described in tourist brochures as the "southern gateway to Japan."
The centre attracts visitors with promises of improved blood circulation and relief for aching muscles and other maladies. Most people come away feeling refreshed and relaxed; the foolhardy leave with a racing pulse and a lobster-red back.
Sand bathers slip into yukatas (summer-weight cotton kimonos), supplied by the centre, before lowering themselves into a shallow hollow in the sand under a large sun awning or colourful shade umbrella. A towel protects the neck as attendants weight clients down with fresh layers of sand across their chest, stomach, arms and legs. The only way to adjust the heat is to ask the attendant to remove a few scoops of the heavy sand.
"A young man passed out yesterday," recounts one attendant as she shovels damp sand over me, covering all but face and head.
Bathers are buried horizontally, not standing upright as photos might make it appear, so it is possible to wriggle loose if the heat becomes unbearable. (And no fear someone will kick sand in your face and race away!)
Novices usually remain buried no longer than 10 to 15 minutes, but it is almost 20 minutes by the time my Japanese companion decides to sit up, and I can escape my gritty oven.
My friend Maki, an old hand at sand bathing, heads indoors to shed her yukata, rinse off the sand and soak in a steaming hot-spring-fed bath. I plunge instead into the cold-water pool and worry that my back will blister and peel (thankfully, it didn't).
Following lunch, we return to Kagoshima, with a slight detour inland to Lake Ikeda, famed for its two-metre-long eels and resident dinosaur, Isshy, which bears a striking resemblance to Scotland's Loch Ness monster. We stop to admire the fishermen's fresh catch of eels, but there is no sign of the elusive Isshy.
I had come to Japan to visit my son, who works for the Kagoshima Prefecture (regional government) office in Kagoshima City. I flew to Kagoshima from Tokyo - only $100 one-way, a special deal offered by Japan Airlines to international travellers - and then returned to Tokyo by train, with a stop in Kumamoto City, on the west coast of Kyushu.
Kagoshima City is less than two hours by plane - eight hours via Japan Rail's reliable shinkansen (high-speed railway network) - from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, with its 12 million population. But the slow-paced town of 600,000 is off the map for most foreign tourists, who are drawn to the well-publicized sights of Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima.
Too bad. The port town of Kagoshima has much to offer.
- Mt. Sakurajima, an active volcano that juts out of Kagoshima Bay and dominates the skyline, is a mere 15-minute ferry hop from town. The manacing hulk regularly blows smoke and ash into the sky. During the last major eruption in 1914, an estimated three billion tonnes of lava poured out, obliterating the strait that had separated the island of Sakurajima from the nearby Osumi peninsula. The Sakurajima Visitors Centre features a georama of the eruption and a three-kilometre lava trail, with spectacular views of the city across the bay.
- A city-view excursion bus allows tourists to hop on and off at a dozen historic and natural heritage sites for $5 a day. The bus makes it easy and inexpensive to sample Kagoshima's excellent restaurants, shops and museums.
- A free outdoor foot spa at the seaport boardwalk where visitors can pamper their weary feet. After a long day of walking and shopping, imagine sitting on a long wooden bench, stripping off shoes and socks, and soaking your feet in soothing hot spring water. The fresh-flowing water is clean, and the bench area is spotless (typical of Japan's mainly litter-free streets and public areas).
A short train and cab ride from Kagoshima lies Miyama, a village showcasing the work of local Satsuma-ware potters. Village map clutched in one hand, I head straight for the Toen Jukan kiln and pottery workshop, which has a small museum highlighting the legacy of 14 generations of Jukan potters, who brought their craftsmanship from Korea. Visitors can wander past the glassed-in potters' workshops, and then admire the black and white Satsuma wares for sale - from simple ashtrays to ornate vases - in the gift shop. As I pause to read a brief English-language history of the kiln, an attendant comes forward with a small tray, bearing green tea and sweets, and invites me to sit and take my time.
Other tourist areas within striking distance of Kagoshima include:
- Kumamoto City, about 170 kilometres north of Kagoshima, is famous for its magnificent "black castle," a 16th-century wood and stone castle that was heavily damaged by samurai rebels in 1877 and has been restored by the municipality as a tourist attraction. (Many of Japan's castles were destroyed by wars, fires and earthquakes, and have been rebuilt at government expense.)
- Mt. Aso is the site of the world's largest volcano caldera, 128 kilometres in circumference. It's an easy visit from Kumamoto. The five peaks of Mt. Aso - the highest is Takadake at 1,593 metres - include Nakadake, an active volcano. On a good day, visitors can ride a panoramic cable car to the edge of the Nakadake crater for a bird's-eye view. When the on-site monitoring station detects high levels of toxic fumes, the ride is cancelled and hikers warned to steer clear.
- Yakushima, a World Natural Heritage site, has become popular with ecotourists. The mountainous island, a four-hour ferry ride south from Kagoshima, harbours monkeys, deer, spawning loggerhead turtles, tropical gardens and some of the oldest cedars in the world. Visitors should plan to spend more than one day on the island if they hope to view the famous Jomon-sugi cedar, estimated to be up to 7,200 years old. Jomon-sugi can be seen - no tree-hugging allowed - only after a gruelling six-hour hike into the interior.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - One worker died and another was hospitalized after they became unconscious while working at an Archer Daniels Midland Co corn processing plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Preliminary reports indicate the two men were preparing a fermentation tank for maintenance and encountered "an oxygen-deficient environment," causing them to lose consciousness, the Cedar Rapids fire department said in a statement.
The men, ages 50 and 46, respectively, were found unconscious at about 7 a.m. CST (1300 GMT), the company said.
The 50-year-old was pronounced dead at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids. The other victim was reported in stable condition at another local hospital.
ADM said it was working with officials to determine the cause of the incident.
The employees' names were not released.
The plant, which processes corn into ethanol and other products through a "wet milling" process, was operating normally on Wednesday after the incident, the company said.

The on-going economic crisis poses a serious challenge to the dialogue between workers' and employers' representatives and governments according to a report published by the European Commission.
The report shows that recent government reforms have not always been accompanied by fully effective social dialogue, leading to increasingly conflictual industrial relations in Europe.
The involvement of workers' and employers' representatives (the "social partners") in government reforms is vital, as solutions found through social dialogue tend to have wider acceptance in society, to be easier to implement in practice and to be less liable to give rise to conflict.
Well-structured social dialogue can effectively contribute to the economic resilience of Europe. In fact, countries in which social dialogue is well-established and industrial relations institutions are strong are generally those where the economic and social situation is more resilient and under less pressure.
The new report focuses on:

Anthony Hopkins crusty face is the scariest thing in this film.
Exorcism films can take one of two perspectives: the first, and more common, is that of the possessed. Here films such as "The Unborn" or "A Haunting in Connecticut" establish a connection between the audience and an individual suffering at the whims of ungodly and unknowable forces. This perspective allows us access to the fears and pains of those most directly affected.
Director Neil Blomkamp is gearing up for his "District 9" follow up by getting Jodie Foster to climb aboard "Elysium". Little is known about the film's plot other than it takes place on a distant planet in the far future. Ms. Foster will be joining Matt Damon and Sharlto Copely, so at least it looks promising.
Anthony Hopkins is preparing to try and creep us out once again with his upcoming supernatural church thriller, "The Rite". The marketing machine is starting to spin up, so be sure to check out the new TV spots and posters at the link.
Franz Kafka's literary classic "Metamorphosis" is finally being brought to the big screen by a whole bunch of people you've never heard of!
Here's a gang of new shots from Anthony Hopkins' new film "The Rite" which comes out on January 28th. The film revolves around a skeptical student at an exorcism school and features the most disappointing panty raid you've ever seen.
Now sit down kids and I'll tell you about how video games used to be played on the PC and were mostly just a lot of pointing and clicking. And by far my favorite of the genre was "7th Guest" which will be landing on your iPhone and iPad in the near future. Of course I never saw a reason to have an iPad until now and I refuse to pay for one just to play a 20 year old game, but still, this is awesome news.
Joe R. Lansdale, the guy who wrote "Bubba Ho Tep" among other things, will see his heartwarming zombie story "Christmas with the Dead" made into a movie sometime next year. Yet more proof that if you wait long enough you'll never have to read another book again.
Here's a trailer for the Swedish ax murderer flick "Blood Runs Cold". Apparently the film was shot on a budget of just 5k, but honestly it looks so good you can hardly tell. Which is a bummer because I wanted nothing more in this world than to make some sarcastic comments about the Swedes. You win this round!
Inspired by true events? Anthony Hopkins? Exorcism? Movie? These are all words you can read! There also words that describe the film "The Rite" which finally has a trailer. We're off to a good start today.
Patrick Alvarez, someone I have no idea about, has been tapped to direct "Girls", a movie about a girls slumber party gone terribly wrong. Apparently this is not a porn, which might explain the terribly wrong part. Or maybe that's just for me. At the very least there better we a tickle fight.
If you didn't see Duncan Jones' "Moon" then you missed out because it was awesome and it had zero Jake Gyllenhaal's. Unfortunately his follow up "Source Code" has one Jake Gyllenhaal but you should still give it a chance. Based on the new behind the scenes photos of the pic it might have a chance, if that jackass doesn't smile with the stupid goofy face of his.
Johnny Depp on the new Tim Burton film "Dark Shadows" which is based on the cult TV show, "it's gotten f**kin' good". That is all.
Here's a new one sheet for the new found footage flick "Apollo 18". The movie is a follow up to the 1996 Academy Award winning film "Apollo 13" staring Tom Hanks. Wait, no? That's not right. Ah whatever just watch the clip.
With Christmas just around the corner it's time to celebrate the holiday season with a horror movie that shows a crazy Santa going around murdering the crap out of people. As luck would have it we have a new red band trailer for "Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale", the Finnish flick that does just that. I feel so warm.
Wait seriously they're making a "Final Destination 5"? That's not a joke. Well at least it isn't going to be in 3D right? Oh god it's going to be in 3D! You build me up with a crazy Santa and then you just cut me right back down with this crap. Well played.
Here's some new screen shots from "The Rite" staring Anthony Hopkins as a Priest who gets involved with an exorcism. When did possession become the big rage? I missed the memo. I can't wait for next Halloween when people just walk around spitting split pea soup at each other.

Part 5 in the Beginning Quilting Series
This is the quilt as I laid it out a couple of weeks ago. And I didn't like it. At least not as much as I thought I would. It felt too bland.
So I added some red squares and I like it a whole lot more now. Quilts need a 'zinger fabric' to make them interesting – a fabric or two that's a little brighter than the rest – that kind of pops out of the quilt. Sometimes zinger fabrics totally clash – and that's what makes them so awesome. Balance is important too. Notice how the red is spaced throughout the quilt.
So if your quilt feels flat or boring, try a 'zinger fabric' to give it some spunk. Has this worked for anyone else? Feel free to link to examples!

The study of Folklore deals with oral literature and traditional culture. Students study both the form and function of various kinds of Folklore. They also examine the influence of oral tradition upon written literatures.
A student benefits by coming to the study of Folklore with a strong concentration in one of the affiliated fields, such as English or other modern literature, Classics, Linguistics, Sociology and Anthropology, Geography, History, Psychology, or Religious Studies. Students should note that certain specialized areas of Folklore call for training in Biology.
A student interested in Folklore is advised to take several courses in Anthropology and Archaeology and at least an introductory course in language and dialect. Other courses should be complementary to the area of special interest. A student whose major interest is Newfoundland Folklore should have, for example, courses in Newfoundland Geography and Newfoundland History; and courses in the History and Geography of Ireland and England would be desirable. One interested primarily in Canadian Folklore would do well also to study the Geography, History and Literature of Canada. Such combinations of reinforcing courses in History, Geography, Literature, etc., can be varied according to the student's needs and goals.
Folklore 1000 (or 2000) is the prerequisite for all other courses in Folklore, except 1050, 1060 and those courses cross-listed with other Departments.
A student registered to major in Folklore must take a minimum of 36 credit hours in courses as follows:
Eighteen required credit hours: 1000 (or 2000), 2100, 2300, 2401, 2500, 4470;
Six credit hours from Group A - Folk Literature Genres: 3100, 3200, 3250, 3300, 3450, 3612, 3618, 4810;
Six credit hours from Group B - Folklife Genres: 3001, 3591, 3606, 3650, 3700, 3713, 3820, 3830, 3850, 3860, 3870, 4460;
Six credit hours from Group C - Topics: not more than 3 of which can be taken from courses at the 1000 level: 1050, 1060, 2230, 2700, 3350, 3360, 3460, 3591, 3601, 3613, 3618, 3700, 3714, 3800, 3900, 3910, 3920, 3930, 3940, 3950, 4015, 4300, 4310, 4320, 4350, 4360, 4370, 4400, 4410, 4420, 4440, 4480, 4810.
Students who declare a major in Folklore should have completed Folklore 1000 (or 2000); it is recommended that students intending to major in Folklore take Folklore 2100 as early in their programs as possible.
All students who major in Folklore will be assisted by a faculty advisor who will help them in planning their academic program. Consequently, it is essential that students consult with the Department at an early stage in their studies.
A student declaring a minor in Folklore must take a minimum of 24 credit hours including:
Fifteen required credit hours: 1000 (or 2000), 2100, 2300, 2401, 2500;
Nine additional credit hours in Folklore - not more than 3 of which can be taken from courses at the 1000 level.
Students who declare a minor in Folklore should have completed Folklore 1000 (or 2000); it is recommended that students intending to minor in Folklore take Folklore 2100 as early in their programs as possible.
See General Regulations for Honours Degree. An Honours candidate in Folklore must complete a minimum of 60 credit hours, including the 36 as prescribed for the Major in Folklore. The remaining courses will normally include one of the following options:
See General Regulations for Honours Degrees. A minimum of 84 credit hours in the two subjects selected, with the approval of the Heads of both Departments, is required.
Of the credit hours required in the two subjects selected, not fewer than 42, and not more than 51, must come from each discipline. The candidate may choose the discipline in which to complete the Honours Essay or the Comprehensive Examination. If the student chooses the 400X option, the Folklore component will consist of the major in Folklore plus 400X, for a maximum of 51 credit hours in Folklore. Students are advised to choose an option as soon as possible after declaring the second subject of the Joint Honours degree.
In accordance with Senate's Policy Regarding Inactive Courses, the course descriptions for courses which have not been offered in the previous three academic years and which are not scheduled to be offered in the current academic year have been removed from the following listing.

This course will have three hours of lecture and three hours of seminar per week.
History and Memory
(same as History 4100) is a course which recognizes that memory is not one of the natural parts of ourselves, nor is remembering a way of connecting with a single reference point in a social reality outside ourselves. These things are socially determined. Starting here, this course is designed to have students reflect on what they know about the past and how they know about it. The class will examine how individual and social memory works, concentrating on particular historical contexts.
Credit may not be obtained for both History 4100 and the former History 4569.

Credit may not be obtained for both FOLK 4460 and the former FOLK 4240.
Spaces and Places
critically examines how physical space is transformed into cultural place through folklore. The study of region will be used to introduce scholarship on a number of issues central to contemporary folkloristics: sense of place, space and place analysis, space and place as theory, critical regionalism, nationalism and vernacular regionalisms. Students will learn how folklore and localization interact to counter fears and assumptions regarding globalization, homogenization, and the loss of local or regional identities.
Oral History
