Yes We Can… kick you off stage
Steve Watson
Jan 21, 2013
Here's what happens in America under Obama when a musician exercises their First Amendment rights; they get surrounded by men in black suits and kicked off the stage.
Grammy-nominated rapper Lupe Fiasco was performing at a pre-inauguration concert Sunday night in Washington DC, when his set was cut mid-way through following the use of negative lyrics directed toward the president.
Performing his single 'Words I Never Said', the Chicago artist launched into the following verse, shortly before being surrounded by security guards:
"I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets. How much money does it take to really make a full clip? 9/11, Building 7, did they really pull it?"
"…Rush Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist, Gaza Strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say s**t. That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either, I'm a part of the problem, my problem is I'm peaceful and I believe in the people."
When the rapper extended and continued to play the anti-war themed song, the microphones were cut and the lights shut off. Then security personnel jumped on the stage and asked Fiasco to leave.
The event organisers denied that the political nature of the performance was the reason for the intervention, stating "We are staunch supporters of free speech, and free political speech. This was not about his opinions. Instead, after a bizarrely repetitive, jarring performance that left the crowd vocally dissatisfied, organizers decided to move on to the next act."
However, those in attendance at the StartUp RockOn concert were in no doubt as to why Fiasco had been shown the exit.
"Lupe Fiasco just got thrown off stage here at the Hamilton Live after he went on an anti-Obama diatribe mid set." tweeted Josh Rogin, a reporter with Foreign Policy magazine.
"So Lupe played one anti-war song for 30 min and said he didn't vote for Obama," Rogin added, "and eventually was told to move on to the next song…Lupe refused to move to the next song so a team of security guards came on stage and told him to go."
Other attendees concurred: "Things going terribly wrong at @lupefiasco performance during#SURO. Kicked off stage, bashing obama…" tweeted Matt Dornic, a CNN Worldwide PR director.
"#SURO slammed by @lupefiasco's nonstop, anti-obama rap. Corporate sponsors scurrying." Dornic added.
Fiasco, whose father was a prominent member of the Black Panther Party, was a known risky booking for the event organisers, given his past criticisms directed toward Obama.
Last year the rapper hit headlines with an anti-drone tirade, openly calling the president a child murderer:
"You have someone who is a great speaker, but kills little children – our President," he said during an interview with Philadelphia radio station Power 99FM. "I'm talking about ordering a drone attack. Ordering drone attacks that go and kill mothers, innocent bystanders, children. Militants too, but the collateral damage. You're responsible for that, too."
In a CBS interview in 2011, Fiasco also called the president a terrorist. "My fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama and the United States of America. I'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism." he told reporters.
"You know, the root cause of terrorism is the stuff the U.S. government allows to happen. The foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists." he added at the time.
"Words I Never Said" by Lupe Fiasco
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
I can't take back the words I never said
I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bull****
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip?
9/11, Building 7, did they really pull it?
Uh, and a bunch of other cover ups
Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts them, wait, here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up
Keep you at the bottom, but tease you with the upper crust
You get it, then they move it, so you never keeping up enough
If you turn on TV, all you see's a bunch of what-the-f***s
Dude is dating so-and-so, blabbering 'bout such and such
And that ain't Jersey Shore, homie that's the news
And these the same people supposedly telling us the truth
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza Strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say shit
That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either
I'ma part of the problem, my problem is I'm peaceful
And I believe in the people
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
Now we can say it ain't our fault if we never heard it
But if we know better, then we probably deserve it
Jihad is not a holy war, where's that in the worship?
Murdering is not Islam, and you are not observant
And you are not a Muslim
Israel don't take my side, 'cause look how far you've pushed them
Walk with me into the ghetto, this where all the kush went
Complain about the liquor store, but what you drinking liquor for?
Complain about the gloom, but when'd you pick a broom up?
Just listening to Pac ain't gon' make it stop
A rebel in your thoughts, ain't gon' make it halt
If you don't become an actor, you'll never be a factor
Pills with million side effects, take 'em when the pain's felt
Wash them down with diet soda, killin' off your brain cells
Crooked banks around the world would gladly give a loan today
So if you ever miss payment they can take your home away
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said, never said
I can't take back the words I never said
I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even telling you
Sometimes I'm like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I'm locked inside a cell in me, I know that there's a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said

'Amish Mafia' has officially moved in, taking over its Pennsylvania hometown with toy guns and other tributes to its reality-TV tough guy.
Locals in Lancaster County — part of an area famed for its large population of the pious sect — are cashing in on the Discovery Channel series about vigilante law enforcement in the traditional Mennonite community.
Store owners in the area have put up signs and handed out toy guns in response to the show, an unlikely hit since its debut last month.
"We're kind of making fun of it," said Jackie Kissel, a worker at Art & Glassworks, a store in the town of Lancaster that made a brief cameo. "We thought the show was hysterical."
Presented as a reality series, the program exposes the rough-and-tumble exploits of Lebanon Levi, described on the show's Web site as the "boss of the Amish mafia."
Since the series' debut, Levi and his gang of made Mennonites have overseen a "brutal Amish barn fight," thrown a kegger for young people and shared their thoughts on "Merlin," a rival Amish alpha in Ohio.
With peak ratings of more than 3 million viewers, "Amish Mafia" has caused critics to buggy out, with detractors blasting the show as anything but a Pennsylvania Dutch treat.
Instead, opponents call the series an organized crime against the Amish, claiming it offers a false portrait of the community and disrespects its values. The show itself admits to taking certain liberties, opening with a disclaimer acknowledging the use of "select re-enactments."
While the Amish themselves have remained silent — community tradition forbids most types of electricity, including TVs — their neighbors in Lancaster are taking the show in stride, sending it up in public even as they grumble about how the area is portrayed.
"The thing that's disconcerting is that they're portraying Lancaster as though we have gangs and need protection," said Kissel, who referred to the show's star as an "actor."
Nevertheless, the owners of Art & Glassworks have put up a sign reading, "This store is protected by Lebanon Levi" — a reference to a scene showing him exiting the store with an envelope presumably filled with protection money.
Recently, Kissel said, the owner of nearby Ziggy's Magic Shop stopped by with a toy gun, joking, "You might want one of these."
But while the show has been a popular topic of conversation, "Amish Mafia" hasn't led the store to get mobbed.
"We had a nice retail season" before Christmas, Kissel reported. "Maybe we'll have more tourism in the summertime."
As for the actual Amish, Kissel questioned whether a true member of the community would participate in the show. "If you want to buy an Amish doll around here, it doesn't even have a face on it," she said, referring to the community's ban on "graven images."
"They're private people. They don't want to be on TV."

SKF pioneers cloud-based solution for data collecting
2015 April 13, 16:05 CEST
How can a complex operation keep track of thousands of pages of documents, including measurements, drawings, tables and photos? To address this demanding task, SKF has developed a cloud-based solution, SKF Data Collect, using iPads to record and manage data.
Making the transition from volumes of paper to an entirely electronic, cloud-based data solution is no small undertaking when you're dealing with hundreds of thousands of quality measurements recorded each year. To solve this problem, SKF is pioneering an iPad system, SKF Data Collect, to help customers record and manage their data. While SKF is well known in the bearing business, developing this kind of technical solutions is an evolution for the company.
A growing trend
"Although SKF's legacy is with bearing technology and other mechanical industrial solutions, the company has recognized that industrial businesses are becoming more and more computer dependent. This is the reason that SKF is evolving its product and service offerings to include cloud-based tools that make life easier for industrial customers", says Jerry Schick, key account manager at SKF Strategic Industries. "The model is software as a service so customers don't have to reinstall software or worry about keeping their system up to date. We take care of updates – it's all part of the service."
One of the SKF customers using SKF Data Collect is US-based EthosEnergy which recently partnered with SKF to shape the future of how massive amounts of inspection data will be recorded, stored and accessed. The company specializes in gas turbine refurbishment for the oil, gas and power generating industries.
"I saw the product at the SKF Asset Management Conference in Dallas in 2013," says Mike Fisher, president of EthosEnergy Light Turbines LLC, in Houston, Texas. "We're dealing with 240,000 precise dimensional measurements made and recorded traditionally on paper, over the year. Imagine all those documents – very weighty – and as it's on paper, all the information is instantly out of date the minute it's recorded. We need it to be digital and alive so that we can analyse it in real time."
A highly customizable and configurable product
Fisher says he had seen other similar products but none provided the versatility that SKF promised: a highly customizable, configurable product that could display data, drawings and tables as well as store information and photos.
EthosEnergy takes in a range of sub 12 MW gas turbines and driven equipment and overhauls them to extremely high quality standards – ISO 9001, 9004, 14001 and 18001. The task can be daunting, with more than 4,000 components per turbine. Technicians work methodically in the spotless facility, efficiently following the necessary steps, first assessing the condition of each part, then recording precise dimensions and assessing exacting repair procedures to return the component to "as new" condition. Finally, post-repair, re-recording all the data and assembling the complex machine for full-load testing. The entire process takes up to 16 weeks, cataloguing the state of the parts along the way with technical details and photos. All these measurements are stored for years, and they may need to be referenced for various reasons. To check on the status of any given engine or part would require walking to each station, looking up the work order and talking with the technician.
Fisher had already assigned Nelson Muchacho, quality control manager, to develop an information database tool for use at the EthosEnergy facility when Fisher learned about SKF Data Collect.
Great benefit for the organization
"For me, this has been a blessing," says Muchacho. "To put it into perspective, today we have 74 project work orders open. Each requires about 500 pages of documents, so the numbers gather quickly. We've converted to this iPad app to digitize and automatically access multiple projects at any given time – that's 35,000 pages no longer in storage boxes. This is a great benefit for the organization in terms of productivity and efficiency."
"EthosEnergy needs to record this data so it can be used for analysis later on," says Schick. "This data-based process has a dual function: It is an integrated system, so you can have work teams in different sections working with the information, and in SKF Data Collect you have a visual display at each stage of the disassembly and remanufacturing process. The whole team can be alerted as to where a work order is during the entire process. Photos are electronically attached to the inspection data, and the iPad supports a final signature from each technician as he completes his work. SKF Data Collect resynchronizes and shares that information securely every five to 10 minutes through the SKF cloud."
Robust cases
The iPads have heavy-duty cases for the shop. "They're delivered with an industrial waterproof case," Schick says. "They can be dropped on the floor or dipped in water; they're pretty robust."
The industrial-strength iPad cases help ensure the SKF Data Collect program can withstand the constant use in this shop, because there are no plans to return to paper. Fisher was an early adopter of this type of technology, and his input into some of the SKF Data Collect functions from a customer perspective was invaluable in fine-tuning the application for commercial use.
User-friendly and super-slick
Fisher couldn't be more pleased. "It's a super-slick product," he says. "I can walk out to the shop floor, pick up an iPad, drill down to any component and examine the data for that component from any position in the shop, and it's very user-friendly – anyone with an iPad or iPhone quickly adapts to this system. People mistakenly think we're all about wrenches and hammers, but actually we use a very sophisticated component design system. We have to provide an extremely high-quality product or we won't be able to compete. That's what our quality drive is all about."
Fisher and Schick both expect the system to take off as a valuable addition to multiple industries. "It's applicable to many different applications requiring complex data," Fisher says. "We have a partner overseas that wishes to conduct overhauls. I can manage almost the entire QM [quality management] side from afar if they'll adopt SKF Data Collect. In the utility industry that we work with, it would be a great tool for outage management and tracking. It can provide tremendous advantages for field crews. I see a lot of opportunity."
SKF Data Collect
The SKF Data Collect system combines the intuitiveness of an app, the power of SKF's knowledge in data collection and machine inspections, and the safety of the SKF cloud.
- Improved data quality and consistency
- Fast access to actionable information
- Safe storage of information in the SKF cloud.
Typical applications
- Machine inspections
- Operator instructions
- Audits and quality assurance
- Work orders
- Check lists and much more.

Winter presents new issues for our skin. Dry, cold air and indoor heating can quickly parch skin of necessary moisture, resulting in a dry, flaky, sallow complexion. This flakiness can also lead to breakouts.
To keep skin happy and healthy this season, rely on these three simple steps: Drink lots of water, remove makeup each night, and protect and moisturize.
Ok, the first step is a no-brainer. Drinking plenty of water hydrates the body from the inside out, keeping skin supple and glowing. And while water is essential to healthy skin and body, taking good care of your skin is key in warding off dryness and blemishes.
Cleanse skin each night to remove makeup and debris from the day, creating a clean and clear surface for your nighttime moisturizer to do its job. An effective nighttime moisturizer nurtures skin and provides rich hydration. Your skin should feel soft and comfortable when you awake in the morning, not tight or irritated. Nighttime moisturizers deliver intensive care to skin with rich organic plant oils, soothing and pampering the skin while you sleep.
If your skin tends toward very dry you may want to skip cleanser in the morning and opt for a splash of warm water instead, followed by another layer of moisturizer. For daytime, moisturizer should hydrate as well as protect from environmental irritants. Daytime moisturizers are designed to go on light, yet deliver deep-down hydration to skin. Many of our daytime moisturizers contain light sunscreen to protect against UV damage.
It is important to use the appropriate moisturizer for your skin type, and this may change slightly with the seasons. Someone with combination skin in humid summer months may find that they need extra moisture in winter. Don't forget to listen to the clues your skin is giving you and switch products accordingly. If your skin seems to become dry mid-day, or is looking sallow, red, flaky, or irritated, you need extra hydration.
Another way to provide extra hydration to skin is with a nourishing facial mask. Masks should be used once or twice a week and provides your skin that extra boost of hydration to soothe and nourish.
Lavera moisturizers are created to suit a variety of skin types and issues. Lavera moisturizers are hydrating, non-greasy, and made with healthy all natural ingredients.
Lavera FACES Wild Rose Day and Night Creams are ideal for dry skin, offering rich, soothing hydration. For those with very sensitive skin, try Pai Macadamia and Rose Dry Skin Cream. This ultra rich omega-7 loaded and alcohol-free cream will calm and soothe even the most upset skin.
Even during dry weather months, certain skin types need a lighter moisturizer. Our FACES Calendula Balancing Cream is a versatile moisturizer that offers light, yet effective, hydration for combination skin. We have formulated our FACES Aloe Vera moisturizers to provide light hydration to sensitive skin. And choose FACES Mint Moisturizing Fluid for oily and acne-prone skin types.
If you are looking for anti-aging benefits with your moisturizer, My Age, SOLUTION, and INTENSIVE moisturizers are packed with natural anti-aging ingredients to protect, heal, and smooth the complexion.
FACES Wild Rose Liposome Face Mask lends intense hydration to skin with nourishing extracts of mango seed butter, Vitamin E, and organic plant oils. Indulge your skin with this relaxing treatment twice weekly. Your skin will thank you with a radiant glow.
Right now is the perfect time to stock up on moisturizers for winter.

First major gift to UTRGV School of Medicine will establish scholarship program
HARLINGEN – William C. Head, M.D., a distinguished orthopedic surgeon from Dallas, has granted The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley's School of Medicine its first major contribution – a $600,000 gift to establish the Jean Marie Rodriguez-Ayers Scholarship – to benefit UTRGV's inaugural class of medical students.
Francisco Fernandez, M.D., founding dean of UTRGV's School of Medicine, announced the gift today at the dedication of the new UTRGV Smart Hospital at the Regional Academic Health Center (RAHC) in Harlingen. The RAHC is a satellite campus of the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio.
"This is an incredible gift and we are so honored," Fernandez said. "We want to make a medical education available to any student who has the skills and commitment to do the work and we don't want a student's economic situation to stop them from pursuing their dream."
Head was born in Arkansas and finished medical school at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock. He completed his residency in orthopedics at UT Southwestern in Dallas – after a three-year hiatus as medical officer in the U.S. Navy – and also completed a fellowship in adult reconstructive surgery of the hip at Massachusetts General in Boston. Head served for two years on the Harvard University faculty at Boston's Brigham Hospital. He returned to Texas in 1960 and went on to establish the Texas Center for Joint Replacement, in addition to serving as a part-time faculty member at UT Southwestern.
Head has long been involved in improving health care in the Rio Grande Valley. More than a decade ago, he and his wife established a scholarship program at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio for students who completed their third and fourth years of medical school at the RAHC in the Rio Grande Valley. In 2004, a $1 million gift from the Heads established a Distinguished Chair in Development and Environmental Neonatology to study premature births and low-birth-weight rates in the Rio Grande Valley.
"Dr. Head has long been interested in improving health care for Texans – particularly focused on how lack of access to quality preventative healthcare can affect a population," said UT System Chancellor Francisco G. Cigarroa, M.D., who served as president of UT Health Science Center-San Antonio when Head established the scholarship program and distinguished chair at that institution. "His generosity has already improved the lives of countless people and this latest gift will open doors of opportunity for many aspiring physicians."
Now that the RAHC will be transitioning to the UTRGV's School of Medicine, Head decided it was time to once again provide support.
"The vision is to attract qualified students from South Texas and give them some financial assistance, maybe even make it possible for them to graduate from medical school debt-free," Head said. "Hopefully, with that support, they will become doctors and stay in the region to give back to their community."
The scholarship program is named for the sister of Head's longtime assistant, Cynthia Ayers. Ayers' sister died in December 2013 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 45. Ayers said her sister's illness began in childhood when an undiagnosed case of strep throat led to chronic kidney disease. She underwent two kidney transplants in her lifetime before being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a year and a half ago.
"I couldn't help but wonder how basic education and access to affordable health care when we were children could have saved her life," Ayers said. The personal story resonated with Head, who decided it was once again time to invest in the Rio Grande Valley and support the UT System's vision for transforming education and health care in South Texas.
"I am extremely impressed with the enthusiasm of the entire community," said Head, who visited the UTRGV Smart Hospital on Wednesday. The Smart Hospital is a state-of-the-art simulation teaching hospital that will be used by a variety of partners across the region. "I don't think there's any question that there's a great need and I don't think there's any doubt that this new institution will be incredibly successful with the amount of support and dedication I saw today."
About The University of Texas System

Carnage "The Release" Photo Shoot Part 1 of 3
On Saturday 1st december I shot the 1st part of my CARNAGE shoot, and I have to say it was a good start !!! With 2 other parts to come I wanted to set the scene for the forth coming episodes.
With the 1st instalment I wanted to set it in it's origins, so the prison cell it was to be ! My friend Scott told me about a studio (Murder Mile Studio) in London that actually has a Prison Cell set so decided to use this as the 1st shoot location.
I was fortunate to have Laban Boldero from 4th Wall Design helping me on this shoot, and making an awesome mask that really gave Lucy (Carnage) that scary feel factor. I also had Sophie on set with Nick Acott doing BTS stills and Robi doing the video.

New research shows how silver could be the key to gold-standard flexible gadgets
Research published in the journals Materials Today Communications and Scientific Reports has described how silver nanowires are proving to be the ideal material for flexible, touch-screen technologies while also exploring how the material can be manipulated to tune its performance for other applications. Currently, touch screen devices mainly rely on electrodes made from indium tin oxide (ITO), a material that is expensive to source, expensive to process and very brittle.
A team from the University of Surrey, led by Professor Alan Dalton and in collaboration with M-SOLV Ltd, a touch-sensor manufacturer based in Oxford, looked to alternative materials to overcome the challenges of ITO, which is suffering from supply uncertainty. Alternative materials investigated as ITO replacements have included graphene, carbon nanotubes and random metal nanowire films. This study showed how silver nanowire films have emerged as the strongest competitor, due to transmittances and conductivities which can match and readily exceed those of ITO. This is a material that consists of wires which are over a thousand times thinner than a human hair, that form an interconnected conductive network.

- Alfred Jarry/Ubu and the Truth Commission: William Kentridge in Conversation with Michael Taylor - April 12, 2007
William Kentridge, a South African artist best known for poetic animated films based on his charcoal drawings, has long been fascinated by the ideas of nineteenth-century French Symbolist author Alfred Jarry. Jarry's writings have provided the inspiration for works including the 1997 film Ubu Tells the Truth, in which Kentridge used the French author's grotesque figure of Ubu Roi as a commentary on the destructive legacy of apartheid. Kentridge will discuss his admiration for Jarry's plays and novels, especially as they relate to his own work as a socially conscious visual artist, with curator Michael Taylor.
This event was held in conjunction with the special exhibition Thomas Chimes: Adventures in 'Pataphysics.

The Museum's Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art, Michael Taylor, discusses the influence of French Symbolist writer Alfred Jarry on a wide range of twentieth-century artists in the Museum's collections. The lecture examines how the iconoclastic writer's invented science of 'Pataphysics, which Jarry defined as "the science of imaginary solutions," has provided a farcical, tongue-in-cheek philosophy and inspiration for artists as varied as Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, and William Kentridge. One of the most radical inheritors of Jarry's ideas is the Philadelphia artist Thomas Chimes, who is the subject of Thomas Chimes: Adventures in 'Pataphysics, a retrospective on view at the Museum.

Microsoft's Apple revenge: the pleasure and the pain
Schadenfreude offers no guarantees
Radio Reg Steve Ballmer's summer has been dominated by Microsoft's delayed response to the iPad and iPhone.
He reassured investors last month that Microsoft is energized and that nobody's sleeping until the job's done.
That said, the Windows slates Ballmer touted as coming this Fall are unlikely to be running Windows 7 and won't be using Intel's latest power-efficient Oak Trail chips. That'll be coming next year.
Which makes you wonder: what on earth will Microsoft offer consumers and businesses users this year? And where exactly the applications are coming from?
Microsoft was probably breathing a sigh of relief over Oracle's decision to prosecute Google for Android's claimed abuse of Java-related patents. But just how much upside for the coming Windows Phone 7 handsets is there in the fact the Android – the market's fastest growing smart phone operating system – could have its wings clipped by Oracle's case?
And with evidence mounting that Hewlett-Packard chief executive Mark Hurd's was ousted over a lack of vision, what are the chances Microsoft CEO could also be headed for the exit door with a decade of missed opportunities and strategic missteps in his wake?
Reg software editor Gavin Clarke and All-About-Microsoft blogger Mary-Jo Foley discuss what's really in store for Microsoft's Windows tablets and phone as we head towards their end-of-year delivery. And yes, we ask who at Microsoft might inflict an HP-style Hurding on Ballmer.

Leadership Programs
Alford Community Leadership & Involvement Center
Denison's Alford Community Leadership & Involvement Center has adopted the following definition of leadership, crafted by the Higher Education Research Institute, as its foundation for programming:
A leader is not necessarily someone who holds some formal position of leadership or who is perceived as a leader by others. Rather, a leader is one who is able to affect positive change for the betterment of others, the community, and society. All people, in other words, are potential leaders. Moreover, the process of leadership cannot be described simply in terms of the behavior of an individual; rather leadership involves collaborative relationships that lead to collective action grounded in the shared values of people who work together to affect positive change.
Make your way to the Alford Community Leadership & Involvement Center (CLIC) and you'll come across a place bustling with student activity! As the Director of CLIC, I have the privilege of leading a dynamic team of professional and student staff that is passionate about Denison's mission to create discerning moral agents and active citizens. We do this by working with student leaders at Denison to plan important events (from Denison traditions to weekend entertainment), advising the fraternity/sorority community as it strives to uphold its espoused values, assisting our diverse student organizations in their pursuits, and offering award-winning leadership development programs. We love working with students to identify where they want to make their mark at Denison – see what CLICs for them!
CLIC's work is centered on the student involvement model. Understanding that the greater a student's involvement in college, the greater the amount of learning and personal development, our efforts with students help them to develop practical competencies, exercise critical thinking, and grow interpersonally and intrapersonally. We strive to create opportunities for students to develop as ethical leaders, express themselves creatively, develop community and ultimately enhance the collegiate experience—all while having a little fun, too!

Mr McDougall, instead of "there's only one way to run"
How about "there's only one way to find out how YOU run"
To the aggressive opponents of barefoot or barefoot-style running (can't imagine why/how you'd take that position) - picking apart the semantics is not a way to refute a good theory. The point people like Christopher are trying to make is that the only way to find YOUR way is by including the intrinsic parts of your body, without treating bio-mechanical symptoms through over the counter footwear.
From NY Times <Link here>
Christopher McDougall is an ardent proponent of barefoot running, but as the number of tendo-achilles and calf injuries related to running barefoot rises, it is clear to those of us who treat ailing runners that this is not the ideal form for everyone. Just as there are alternate styles of swimming or hitting a baseball, biomechanics shows us that runners should develop their own style to maximize performance.
Rockville Centre, N.Y.
There are new injuries. People need education along with minimal footwear. That's what places like this blog are for. How can we better reach out to people doing TMTS (too much too soon) on muscles that have atrophied after a lifetime of over-support and cushioning?? Open to suggestions....

Twenty-nine police officers have been injured during disorder in east Belfast.
Police used water cannon during sectarian clashes overnight between loyalists and republicans in the Castlereagh Street area.
Trouble flared after a city centre demonstration against the council's decision to limit the number of days the Union flag is flown from City Hall.
Four of the 29 injured officers were taken to hospital and two remain in treatment.
Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) chief constable Matt Baggott said: "This was a difficult operation dealing with a large number of people determined to cause disorder and violence. My colleagues brought the situation under control with exceptional courage and professionalism.
"I know the vast majority of people will be grateful for their efforts. Police will continue to engage with all those committed to finding a solution to these issues."
Water cannon were deployed and a non-lethal baton round fired by riot police as they separated opposing factions.
A hail of bricks and fireworks rained down at the Albertbridge Road near the nationalist Short Strand.
Earlier on Saturday, nearly 1,000 people gathered at City Hall to protest.
Senior politicians from Belfast, Dublin and London are to meet next week to discuss the protests after more than 40 days of road blocks and sporadic violence by loyalists have failed to produce a solution.
Stormont First Minister Peter Robinson and his deputy Martin McGuinness will join Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers and Ireland's Tanaiste (deputy leader) Eamonn Gilmore.
Mr Gilmore said: "This violence is being orchestrated and those behind it are known criminals, intent on creating chaos.
"This has nothing to do with real issues around flags and identity in a shared society, which are the subject of intensive political discussions at present."
The demonstrations against Belfast City Council's decision to hoist the Union flag only on designated days like royal birthdays have brought many parts of Northern Ireland to a standstill.
More than 70 officers have been injured and over 100 arrests made during weeks of sporadic trouble, the PSNI said.
Businesses in Belfast's city centre have struggled to cope, with many reporting lost trade, and the Confederation of British Industry warned some investors may think again.
A doctor was prevented from attending a terminally ill cancer patient because of loyalist road blocks in south Belfast, it was revealed.
The GP was travelling to a home call with the sick man when he was stopped twice by crowds of demonstrators who blocked the road.
Police asked them to move but they refused, nationalist SDLP MLA Conall McDevitt said.
He said: "These are depraved acts which immediately dismiss any claim on a protest being peaceful."
The doctor had to wait until the blockade was lifted.
A unionist forum chaired by DUP leader Mr Robinson and UUP leader Mike Nesbitt met last week to discuss ways of empowering loyalist working class communities.
A second peace rally is to be held outside City Hall later today.

The showdown between Alabama and Notre Dame for the 2012 BCS title is twenty days away. With that in mind, Alabama head football coach Nick Saban was asked about his thoughts on the two respective greatest coaching legends of both schools, Bear Bryant and Ara Parseghian.
"When Saban was playing at Kent State (1970-72), what did he think of then-Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant and then-Notre Dame coach Ara Parseghian?
"When you're a coach, you really look up to people who did a fantastic job not only in their ability to be successful but in the example that they set. I know that when I was a kid growing up, I always liked Alabama. I always emulated some of the things that they tried to do, but being a Catholic kid growing up, I always watched Notre Dame and everybody in my family was interested in what Notre Dame did. I think Ara Parseghian probably was as classy a coach and as classy a human being, not only relative to what he did as a coach but all that he's done since he's not been coaching in terms of raising funds and money for research and fighting disease and different things that have affected his family. I just think he's one of the all-time classy coaches that has ever had success. … Coach Bryant, in his tenure here, to have the kind of success that he had over time, consistency in performance over all that time and winning all those championships, the intangibles that his teams always seemed to play with, are the things that you really try to get your team to do. Whether it's the physical toughness, the effort, the finishing, the discipline to execute. I know that when I first started coaching, I read Coach Bryant's book, and it had a tremendous impact on me, in terms of some of the important things that would help you be successful as a coach. I know it's a little bit disappointing that you have to settle for … the two coaches that we have in the game, but I guess that's the way it is."
On the brink of winning his fourth BCS title, Saban has all but cemented his status of ranked aside Bryant and Parseghian as being considered on of the greatest coaches in college football history.

Hopefully this will work. There are more but I'm getting very frustrated waiting.
These are from the Saturday brunch. The centerpiece is seen in the last three images. It is Cinderella. I think. Robert did a crazy reimagined Cinderella story in which they all turned out to be zombies and she became the queen of the zombies and cut off the heads of her step mother and step sisters. Although she didn't live happily ever after, she got revenge. Oy.

Nairobi, September 30, 2013--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns a decision by Tanzanian authorities to suspend two leading private Swahili dailies on accusations of sedition. The government issued a statement on Friday suspending Mwananchi and MTanzania for 14 and 90 days respectively.
Tanzanian authorities often rely on an arsenal of anti-media laws such as the 1976 Newspaper Act that allows the Information Ministry wide discretionary powers to ban publications, according to CPJ research.
"The government could have taken their grievances against Mwananchi and MTanzania to the Media Council of Tanzania, an ombudsman, rather than summarily suspending the publications," said CPJ East Africa Consultant Tom Rhodes. "We call on authorities to allow the papers to resume publication and to reform the laws that allow these suspensions, which are not in line with international standards of press freedom."
The statement said that Mwananchi's suspension was in connection with a story published on July 17, called "New Government Salary Scheme 2013," which was allegedly based on a classified document. Mwananchi Managing Editor Tido Mhando said the paper had published the article to inform the public, according to news reports.
Bakari Machumu, communications executive editor for Mwananchi, the company that publishes the paper, told CPJ that the paper had received and replied to two letters from the government on August 1 and August 22. On September 5, police summoned Mhando for questioning. Five days later, police also questioned Machumu.
The statement said that the Information Ministry had also taken offense to a second story, published on August 17, called "Muslims Pray Under Heavy Security," which was accompanied by a picture of a police dog. Authorities said the photograph implied that "the police had taken dogs to Islamic places of worship. This was not true."
Tanzanian authorities also banned MTanzania, part of the New Habari Publishers company, in connection with articles that alleged police involvement in attacks against citizens and suggested government incompetency in contending with terrorist threats, the statement said. The statement pointed out three articles: "The Bloody Presidency," published on March 20; "Revolution Cannot Be Avoided," published on June 12; and "The Government Stinks of Blood," published on September 18.
The statement said the paper had been warned on multiple occasions to stop publishing "inflammatory content." The paper's managing editor, Absalom Kibanda, said in an interview with Cloud FM that New Habari had not been given the opportunity for a hearing to defend the paper before the closure.
New Habari Managing Director, Hussein Bashe, said on Twitter that Mtanzania's weekly sister paper, Rai, will be published as a daily during the suspension.
Assah Mwambene, Director of Information who wrote the statement, did not immediately respond to CPJ's calls and messages for comment.
In July 2012, authorities banned the critical weekly MwanaHalisi for a series of articles that accused the government of involvement in a brutal attack against a leader of doctor's strikes in the country, Managing Editor Saed Kubenea said.

SILVERDALE, WA -- To enhance health and wellness opportunities at the new Haselwood Family YMCA in Silverdale, WA, the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties recently announced a partnership with Harrison Medical Center.
The hospital and YMCA currently are finalizing a 10-year lease agreement in which the medical center will occupy 3,000 square feet of the new 84,000-square-foot Y facility. The $18 million YMCA is slated to open in summer 2011 and will serve an estimated 15,000 members.
Potential programming under discussion for the hospital's space in the Y includes helping new mothers lose weight gained during pregnancy, providing education about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and improving mobility, strength and endurance.
The new YMCA will feature exercise and multipurpose rooms, a gym, an aquatics center, wellness centers, a community meeting center, a youth drop-in zone and a nursery.
Services the hospital offers will be available to everyone, including people who aren't Harrison patients, officials say. The hospital also hopes to expand preventive care offerings to its employees.
The Y has a similar partnership with Multi-Care Health Systems at its Gig Harbor Family YMCA which has been in existence since 2007. That partnership has been highly successful and is the model for the Haselwood facility, says Jessie Palmer, capital campaign and grant coordinator for the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties.

Founded by clinical psychologist Dr. J. Clayton Lafferty in 1971 and directed by CEO and organisational culture expert Dr. Robert A. Cooke, Human Synergistics International (HSI) is a pioneer in the field of measurement for organisational and individual development. Dr. Lafferty's original breakthrough "Circumplex" model, a circular graph for organising and profiling twelve thinking styles, fueled the development and long-term success of one of the first 360º feedback tools, the Life Styles Inventory™ (LSI).
Forty years later, the LSI continues to be highly regarded and used throughout the world by managers, professionals, and individual contributors to promote self-awareness and develop Constructive personal styles. Concurrently, the LSI has been praised on numerous websites, including LinkedIn; referenced in books and journal articles in business, psychology, and talent management; and cited in newspapers and magazines, including The Wall Street Journal.
After refining and validating the LSI Circumplex, Dr. Cooke became one of the first organisational theorists to propose that people exhibit particular thinking and behavioural styles, either functional or dysfunctional, due to something "bigger" than their personalities or even what is rewarded by their organisations.
That something "bigger" led to the creation of what is now the world's most widely-used and researched culture survey - the Organisational Culture Inventory™ (OCI). The availability of this scientifically valid yet practical tool for measuring culture has contributed to a multitude of academic and business publications showing the importance of Constructive Cultures to enhancing the engagement of members, the effectiveness of work groups, and the sustainability of organisations.
Over the past 40 years, HSI has extended its reach and impact by launching international affiliates and offices across the globe and increasing its offerings to meet client needs. HSI retains its research orientation and maintains a strong focus on offering the highest-quality business solutions including world-class diagnostic inventories, team-building simulations, workshops for consultants and coaches, and optional consulting services to support the implementation of its systems and materials.
HSI's goal is to support consultants, both internal and independent, as well as educators and trainers, in promoting Constructive change and development in individuals, groups, their organisations and, ultimately, the world. We invite you to review our offerings, contact us by phone or e-mail, attend our workshops, and join us in our fifth decade of Changing the World - One Organisation at a Time™.

Turquoise Mosiac Alpaca Silver Butterfly Bracelet - Small - Artisana
Frequently Asked Questions
This bracelet is handcast in Mexican alpaca silver and features a 1.5 inch long polished turquoise and abalone butterfly design. Sized Small.
Meet the Artisans
The artisans of Tecalpulco, Mexico have long been known for their silver and abalone jewelry. ArtCamp, short for Artesanas Campesinas (or rural female artisans), is a women-owned cooperative that continues this tradition. The group constantly introduces new methods, materials, and machinery to compete in the highly competitive jewelry market, even surviving a collapse in the marketability of their pieces in the 1990's after jewelry from other countries flooded the US market. The artisans have become business women, understanding the importance of customer service, quality, and design. Their product range includes semi-precious stones, shells, and even tiny flowers captured in resin. Each piece is accentuated by silver alloys or precious metals, and represents the tradition of fine Mexican jewelry .
Q - How do I qualify for free shipping?
A - All orders over $50 that are shipped to the United States qualify for free shipping and will arrive in 3-4 days.
Q - How long before I receive my order?
A - If you live in the United States your order will deliver in 3-4 days if you selected Priority Mail or you qualified for free shipping. International orders vary by country. The most common international countries are: England, Australia, New Zealand and western Europe take 7 to 10 days. This does not apply to custom printed orders.
Q - What are Memory Cross cards made of and how durable are they?
A - The small Memory Cross cards are printed on 10 point coated board (think playing cards). The larger cards which measure 6 x 6 inches are printed on 100 lb. uncoated cover (think Hallmark card). We've tested each size and they hold up to hundreds of folds. The larger cards hold up longer because the "hinges" that allow them to fold are larger. We've tested the larger cards to fold over 500 times. That being said it is still important for the cards to be folded properly. Most children can figure it out on their own but if you are giving them to 4 or 4 year olds we recommend that you show them how it works. If you do not know how they work, we've created a video that you can watch by clicking here.
Q - What guarantee do you offer?
A - Memory Cross offers a 100% money back guarantee if you are not happy for any reason. We even pick up the cost of shipping the product back. Here is the link to our full return policy.
Q - Can cards be customized?
A - Yes cards can be customized for churches and businesses. The minimum order for churches is 250 and for business is 500.

A Washington couple could face decades in prison following their conviction in the death of a teenage girl they adopted from Ethiopia.
Larry Williams, of Sedro-Woolley, was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter on Monday in the death of his adopted daughter, Hana Williams, who died of malnutrition and hypothermia.
Hana's adoptive mother, Carri Williams, was found guilty of homicide by abuse as well as manslaughter.
A mistrial was declared on a homicide by abuse charge for Larry Williams.
Hana Williams' emaciated body was found in the backyard of her family's home in May 2011. The girl was believed to be 13 years old at the time of her death, according to The Associated Press, but her age became a central question in the trial because there was no documentation available on her birth in Ethiopia.
Tests conducted on Hana's teeth and bones gave varying estimates of her age, which was a significant fact in the case, because a homicide by abuse charge applies only if the victim is younger than 16 years old.
The Williamses were also convicted of assault on a child related to the abuse of a younger boy they'd adopted, also from Ethiopia, at the same time as Hana in 2008.
Skagit County Prosecuting Attorney Rich Weyrich told ABCNews.com the children were subjected to torture.
"The girl was forced to sleep in a closet, use an outhouse, eat cold and frozen vegetables and wet peanut butter sandwiches," he said. "It's a litany of things we believe qualify as torture."
Before her death, Hana had also lost a quarter of her body weight. According to Weyrich, the girl went from 108 to 78 pounds before she eventually died of hypothermia.
The couple will be sentenced in October, and according to Washington sentencing guidelines, Weyrich said they could face decades in prison.
Defense attorneys for the couple said they planned to appeal the verdict, according to ABC News' Seattle affiliate KOMO.
When Carri Williams testified in August, she told the jury her daughter had lost weight before her death and said she believes the girl "unintentionally killed herself," according to KOMO.
"I never treated my daughter like a dog," Williams said.
