The field of communications has been revolutionized by the advent of optical fiber. Optical fiber now connects most of the world carrying a vast amount of information through a very limited physical medium. To the materials engineer, optical fiber technology has stimulated interest in a new type of micro-sensor application, where the size, weight, and the ability to integrate the sensor into a material structure play a major role.

What is Inquiry?
Good science education requires both learning scientific concepts and developing scientific thinking skills. Inquiry is an approach to learning that involves a process of exploring the natural or material world, and that leads to asking questions, making discoveries, and testing those discoveries in the search for new understanding. Inquiry, as it relates to science education, should mirror as closely as possible the enterprise of doing real science.

Not a stitch has been sewn. I've been cleaning house, washing and changing bedding--ooh I love a bed with clean fresh sheets!
If you thought the life of a traveling quilter was glamorous, think again! Rewarding yes---all the way down to my very clean finger nails thanks to a sink full of sudsy hot water and a mop bucket.

I love feel and smell of clean sheets, also. During cold weather we have flannel sheets that are so warm and cozy.
ReplyDelete And a lovely bathroom it is; looking forward to taking your class at VCQ Celebrations in April; just like to follow your blog. Would you take time to look at my blog...www.quiltedsolutions.blogspot.com. and think about contributing a little quilt to the Virginia Quilt Museum fundraiser this year. You have so many followers, and so many wonderful quilters who "call you their own." Perhaps a little quilt from you could help us raise money for the museum. If you have more questions you can contact me at email@example.com. If nothing else, I would love to see you list the Virginia Quilt Museum on your "history" contacts. It's an incredible resource for us here in Virginia. Thanks, Bonnie. Kathy

County council changes complaints procedure after being rapped by watchdog
4:40pm Tuesday 17th September 2013 in News
WORCESTERSHIRE County Council failed to follow up a valid children's safeguarding referral for seven weeks, it has been revealed.
The Local Government Ombudsman has issued a report into the failing by the county council and its complaints handling process, after being contacted by the children's grandfather.
The man complained that not only had the council not followed up concerns about his grandchildren's safety, but that when he complained his complaint was stalled.
The watchdog found that the council's failure to follow up the man's safeguarding referral left the children subject to an unassessed risk after they witnessed a violent incident in their home at the beginning of August 2011.
At the time of the man's referral, the council agreed that a healthcare worker would visit the family to check on the children.
However, by late September 2011 nobody had visited the family or checked on the welfare of the children.
It took until September 2012 for the council to accept it had been at fault in failing to follow up the man's concerns, some 13 months after the man first requested an official investigation into his complaint.
Dr Jane Martin, Local Government Ombudsman said: "I am particularly concerned that Worcestershire County Council still maintains its complaint handling process is in line with other local authorities when in fact it breaches statutory guidance.
"This is why I am calling for the council to review its process to ensure it fully complies with statutory guidance."
A spokesperson for Worcestershire County Council said: "We accept the findings from the ombudsman's investigation and acknowledge the delay in dealing with both the initial referral and subsequent complaint is unacceptable.
"The county council will now review its complaints procedure in line with the statutory guidance from the ombudsman."

Protests held against new settlement in East Jerusalem; Report: Israel approves expansion of settlements
Dozens of Israel's Peace Now activists and demonstrators from other left-wing organizations protested Wednesday in the occupied East Jerusalem village of Jabal Mukaber against the construction of a new Jewish settlement in the area.
Demonstrators tried to block bulldozers and prevent them from uprooting olive trees. They also confronted police forces, who used teargas to disperse the protesters. A Palestinian who tried to block a bulldozer was lightly
A short while later the protesters left the area after the intervention of an Israeli parliament member.
The construction of the settlement, due to be called Nof Zahav [Golden Panorama], started earlier this week. The Jerusalem Municipality, for its part, has confirmed that permits had recently been granted for the construction of roads in the area.
Meanwhile, according to the Washington Post on Wednesday, Israel has approved the construction of over 1,720 new houses in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip this year.
The Post also reported that two weeks ago, Israeli troops began expanding the boundary of Beitar Ilit, a West Bank settlement of over 20,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews about eight kilometers southwest of Jerusalem. (Albawaba.com)

i have a problem with Code Composer Studio v5.1.1.00031 running on a Win7 x64 System: as well
I´m using TI experimenters kit with the F2806x piccolo control card.
Installation of CCS and JTAG-drivers was fine - no problems.
Build of example-project without errors. When I start "Debug" the project, the code downloads to the MCU and runs fine.
However, when I push debug or terminate after I reset and restart the MCU, CCS crashs without any further information.
CCS is new for me, maybe there is a simple checkbox or an option to activate and solve the problem.
Thank you for your help.
Hi Adithya,
could you please send us any error logs or .dmp files generated? Does this happen with all projects and workspaces? Do you have CCS in a directory that has no accented or special characters? What device support do you have installed?
Best Regards,
Hi Lisa,
How do we access the error logs or .dmp files? This seems to happen with all my projects and two different workspaces that I have tried.
Have a look here, I hope this will help you find any logs.
Please keep us informed.
Attached is my error log. I don't seem to generate any .dmp files with my problem. As another user pointed out, when I press terminate, ccs freezes but when I turn off and turn back on the power switch, ccs 5 terminates from debug view and back to the main screen.
Unfortunately this log has not provided us many clues. Could you please try generating a debugger log for us?
A debugger log is obtained by going to help->CCS support, selecting debug server logging, enabling it and choosing a valid file name, then repeating whatever the scenario is that causes the issue.
Please give this a try and send us the log.
Best Regards,Lisa
For the debugger log, I made CCS output to a .txt file on my desktop for easy access.
oops, here is the file7127.test.txt
Hi Aditya,
Did you created your project as static library or an executable one? If you created it as Static library and you are pushing it to debug, then CCS will surely crash....
This may be your problem as you are new to CCS
Hi Amirtha,
I checked my example program and it is of executable type.
you are getting a crash in the call to the tixds28x.dvr driver. I am seeing if I can get a colleague to determine what options there might be to correct this. As soon as I have any feedback I will let you know.
is there any way you could possibly send us code/steps/detailed information to try and reproduce this here? Unfortunately we have a good idea where things are crashing but it would be great if we could reproduce the behaviour here.
Thanks and regards,
I have print screen photos showing what I do.
I am in debug mode making the red LED blink on GPIO 34. In the first photo, the code is running fine when I press F8.
To end the program, I press the following buttons in this order: Reset, Restart, and terminate. Once I press terminate, the screen looks like it does in the photo below:
The screen becomes cloudy and says the program is not responding. However, once this situation happens and I disable power to the experimenter's docking station to the control card, the cloudy screen disappears and CCS returns to the main view. This is seen below:
I hope this helps. Thank you for working with me on resolving this issue.
thanks for this information. A development colleague is going to help dig into this, but we will need to ask for your patience as it may take some time. As soon as there is feedback we will certainly post.
I was wondering if you had any new information regarding my CCS5 crashing.
Adithya Ravichandran

Dialogue Scene 24
"My parents are out. It's about time we said a proper goodbye, isn't it?" She kisses me more and I let her.
"Look, I just don't want this right now, okay?" Even though I do want exactly this and we both know it. The trouble with an ex-girlfriend is, she hasn't forgotten what happens when she kisses your neck while her fingers roam all over you like a breeze.
"Don't tell me you gave up girls along with everything else," she teases. She never truly knew me but this, she knows. The patterns in my breath, she knows. My hands have found their way to their favorite parts of her without consulting my brain for permission. Damn.
I remind myself how to pull away. "You're engaged, remember?"
"Pre-engaged. And you, sir, don't get to lecture me about cheating."
That's when I should've left.
"I never cheated. We were through."
She grabs my head by both ears. Her voice is low and serious and on the edge of bitchy. "You ran—straight to her. Holly-fucking-Cohen. Maybe your dick never cheated, but your mind must've."
Peeling her hands off my ears, I force my legs to stand up. But she's not through. "And now that she dumped you, you're hitting on a sweet, innocent Northside chick with bigger tits. Cute."
I'm frozen with my hand on the door knob. "Don't."
"She's such a pretty baby, I bet you'd do anything to—"
"Jesus, Steph, leave her out of it! She's nothing to do with this."
"Prove it."
I stare at her. "What?"
"I dare you." She puts on her teasing voice again. "I just want proof it's still you in there." She reaches for my hand.
[Very nice. I wasn't sure what "She's nothing to do with this." meant. The Northside chick isn't the reason I don't want a roll in the hay with you right now? But then what does Prove it mean? Prove she's not the reason by succumbing to my charms? That wouldn't prove it. Straighten me out.]

I really liked this one; the dialogue sounded true to my ear and it progressed the scene steadily.
- socalledauthor said...
I agree with Evil Editor, though. There's something missing-- probably explained earlier/later, but this tidbit leaves me scratching my head. It's like overhearing a conversation in the grocery store aisle. I know there's more, but what?
But still nice dialogue writing. - 3/10/08, 12:58 AM
- Ali said...
I had to cut out the earlier part where Steph assumes he's dating the other girl (the "sweet innocent Northside chick"), he insists she's just a friend, and Steph doesn't believe him. So, "prove it," meaning, if you're not tied to anyone, there's nothing stopping you from getting it on with me for old times' sake.
- ChristineEldin said...
I like this, but the third paragraph felt like the voice of a female narrator.
- writtenwyrdd said...
I liked this, very evocative, good details.
I'm frozen with my hand on the door knob. "Don't." I didn't know who was speaking here. Juxtaposition implies it's him; but it sounds like her.
And I also didn't follow the 'leave her out of this' and 'pretty baby' references. I wasn't sure if she was talking about his dick as a girl or about the girl, to be honest. - 3/10/08, 5:33 AM
- Whirlochre said...
This is good - esp paras 3 & 4. Having an ex around can be excrutiating when slumbering synapses recall how once they flailed. Arghhh!
All runs smoothly until 'I force my legs to stand up'. What? Independently of his torso?
'I force myself to stand up'? - 3/10/08, 6:06 AM

private mortgage insurance
Insurance protecting a lender if a mortgage defaults and the foreclosure is less then the outstanding portion of the loan.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
Insurance that reimburses a mortgage lender if the buyer defaults on the loan and the foreclosure sale price is less than the amount owed the lender (the mortgage plus the costs of the sale). A home buyer who makes less than a 20% down payment may have to purchase private mortgage insurance, commonly referred to as PMI.

NBA AM: New Faces Headed To New NBA Places?
Posted By Steve Kyler On March 8, 2012 @ 8:23 am In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
New Faces In New Places: With the NBA Trade deadline inching closer. There are a couple of situation that look like they might play out if the teams involved cannot find better options over the next seven days.
Sessions Out In Cleveland?: The word is the Cleveland Cavaliers are ready to trade Ramon Sessions.
This one was somewhat obvious considering Sessions has an opt-out in his deal and has made no secret that he'll use it this summer to try and land a better deal.
The Cavs were holding on to Ramon in part as insurance for rookie guard Kyrie Irving, but given that the Cavs are now 14-23 on the season and 4 games out of the playoff picture, the writing is on the wall. The Cavs have lost seven of their last ten games and 11 of their last 17 and seem ready to take care of business.
Sources close to the situation say the Cavs are not looking for much in return for Sessions and would rather have a draft pick and a roster spot than a cap filler type player.
The Lakers are considered the front runner for Sessions, although the Lakers still have their eye on a bigger fish like Orlando's Dwight Howard or Boston's Rajon Rondo – although both are extreme longshots.
Once it becomes clear that the major piece the Lakers are targeting cannot be obtained, moving on a Sessions deal seems likely, unless someone else swoops in with a better offer for the Cavs which is always possible in the march to the deadline.
Crawford Headed To Minnesota?: As HOOPSWORLD's Yannis Koutroupis first reported Monday, the Portland Trail Blazers have been entertaining calls on Jamal Crawford and may have found a trade partner in the Minnesota Timberwolves.
ESPN's Chad Ford hinted in his chat yesterday of a deal between the Wolves and the Blazers that would send Luke Ridnour to Portland in exchange for Crawford.
Wolves' sources caution that a deal is not done and that Portland seems to be talking to several teams, but Minnesota's interest is real and they would pull the trigger on a deal for Crawford.
The Wolves were one of several teams in the hunt for Crawford as a free agent.
There is a belief that Crawford will opt-out of his contract in July, so that will limit how much value a team gives Portland, but with the log jam of point guards in Minnesota, moving out Luke Ridnour seems inevitable.
A Minnesota deal for Crawford isn't done, but it seems like it's the leader in the clubhouse with 7 days to go before the trade deadline.
Kaman and Gordon?: Don't go trading Chris Kaman and Eric Gordon out of New Orleans just yet.
While there has been rampant speculation that not only would Chris Kaman be traded from the New Orleans Hornets, but that the jewel of the Chris Paul trade Eric Gordon could be had to if the price was right too.
The wrinkle coming into the trade deadline is who exactly is calling the shots for the Hornets front office?
The Hornets could be sold in the coming weeks and the group in the lead to own the team includes former Clipper coach and executive Mike Dunleavy. Sources close to the situation say Dunleavy will be actively involved in running the team when and if the deal closes and that he wants Kaman and Gordon on the roster.
Keeping Gordon is a no-brainer, and sources say that anything involving Gordon at this point was New Orleans trying to sell high on him not liquidate him.
The NBA is trying to complete a new lease deal for the team with the state of Louisiana and that's viewed as the final hurdle to selling the team. Things are said to be happening in parallel on the sale front and while an official transfer of ownership requires the NBA Board of Governors' approval. Sources say the new ownership group may have more influence on the Hornets trade deadline decisions than normal because of the unusual ownership situation in New Orleans.
Sources say Dunleavy feels like he can get both of his former players signed to new deals, so it will be interesting to see how this shakes out because Chris Kaman was viewed as someone who would absolutely be moved, now that certainty is not so clear.
The NBA trade deadline is just seven days away and the typical process is that teams start to get serious the week of the deadline. It's unlikely anything major drops before Monday, but teams are actively talking so expect more and more chatter over the next week.
Bulls Not Being Very Aggressive: If the Chicago Bulls are trying to make a trade they are doing a good job keeping it low key.
League sources say the Bulls are talking to other teams about who those teams want to part with, but more as a 'survey the landscape' kind of exercise.
Bulls' head coach Tom Thibodeau says his team is doing their due diligence, but if the roster he has stays the same he's not overly concerned with it.
Thibodeau admitted that he is talking things through on a daily basis with Bulls' General Manager Gar Forman and Bulls' Vice President John Paxson.
"We talk every day," Thibodeau said to ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell. "Their job is to study the league, field calls; and often times if you have a good team, you have good players, people want them, they call. That doesn't mean we're going to do anything. We listen. And if we think it could make the team better we'll consider it, if not we're more than happy with the roster that we have. We feel very good about that."
A number of teams have expressed concern about trying to force change into this compressed 66 game season, but Thibodeau says if his team makes a move fitting in a new guy can work even with so little practice time.
"You can always fit somebody in," Thibodeau said. "They may not have a full understanding of everything, but you can design specific packages for those guys when they're in the game. And that's not uncommon, you deal with that throughout the course of the season whether you bring a guy in for a 10 day or there's a trade made, but I think that's one of the great challenges of the league. In general, it's a league of change and you have to be able to respond quickly to any change that might occur at any time. And I think the teams that handle those situations the best are the ones that have the most success."
Given all the lineup permutations the Bulls had last year due to injury and even some this year, adapting to change doesn't seem to be the issue in Chicago. It just doesn't seem like there is anything out there the Bulls really want.
The Bulls are still atop the Eastern Conference with a 33-8 record with a two game lead on Miami.
Of the Bulls' remaining 25 games they have just nine road games (the fewest of any team in the playoff picture) and will see 13 teams with a record above .500 in that span.
Are The Celtics Sitting Out The Deadline?: The Boston Celtics are rolling right now having won five of their last six games. NBA teams have been calling the Celtics looking to pry loose a major piece but if what the C's are telling teams and their players is true; the Celtics may not be involved in the trade market in a major way over the next week. Wouldn't that be a surprise considering how frequently Boston has been linked to deals this season?
Celtics' coach Doc Rivers again played down the idea that his team was looking for a major change, hinting that the C's might be buyers in this market not sellers.
"I'm sure there will be more rumors, there's nothing you can do about that," Rivers said to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe. "We pretty much know what we want to do.
"Like I said a week ago, I'd be surprised if we did anything. Obviously, if we find someone out there who wants to give us a player, we'll take them."
The Celtics are looking for a reserve big man and that's something they have been sniffing around for, so it's not like they are not answering calls.
Celtic's reserve Jermaine O'Neal is pondering season ending surgery, so that could expedite the need to replace him, but beyond a big from the bench teams around the league are saying Boston seems unwilling to engage on anything serious, but as the trade market often does… things change quickly especially if you start stringing together losses.
The Celtics are 20-18 on the season and just two games behind Philadelphia for command of the Atlantic and a home court playoff berth.
As improbable as it may seem, the Celtics could very well sit out the trade deadline, especially if they can keep winning games.

Motrin Ad makes moms uncomfortable
I am sure everyone and their mother has heard about the Motrin drama. Motrin launched an online ad campaign targeting "babywearing" moms that was supposed to empathize with the pain associated with carrying your baby in a sling.
The reaction was less than positive. Moms were mad, real mad. Tweets, blogs, and youtube videos were popping up like crazy about the offense taken from the ad.
For those of you who thought that ad was pulled quickly enough that a spoof couldn't be made, I am about to put your minds at ease. This is our favorite response video
Obviously, J&J should have tested the ad before the launch. That was their big mistake. Although they are still getting a ton of negative fallout from it they handled the reaction well. They immediately apologized and pulled the ad; it was launched on Friday and by Monday, the ad had been pulled. The buzz about the ad continued throughout the week and mostly fizzled by Friday.
The Motrin story is becoming an instant case study for how influential social media is on brands today. It also proves that there are huge opportunities to use social media to improve your brand image.
Even though there was negative buzz about Motrin, the good thing is that the fact that people were tweeting and blogging about it proves that there is some level of passion for the brand. Now Motrin's challenge is to take that passion and make it positive.
So you might ask "what would buzz.io have done differently?" Well as you have heard us preach so many times from this pulpit it is about the conversations with your customers. Don't wait until a crisis to start talking. Have you seen Motrin contact the offended mothers and apologize? they probably lost some moms forever because of this but by having a conversation they might have turned some anger into excitement because they are a brand that cares.
It isn't too late for your brand – get out to the conversations and start talking!

Placer County Assistant District Attorney Jeffrey Wilson, at the far right, receives congratulations from District Attorney Scott Owens after being named 2010 Prosecutor of the Year. With them are several colleagues from the District Attorney's Office. In front on the left is Ted Peterson. In back, from left to right, are Clark Gehlbach, Bill Marchi, Suzanne Gazzaniga, Garen Horst, Dave Tellman and Doug Van Breemen.
The District Attorney's Office established the annual Prosecutor of the Year award in memory of Anne-Marie Bourgeois, a Placer County deputy district attorney who died during a tragic fire in her home in 1994. Deputy district attorneys are given an opportunity to vote for the colleague they feel is most deserving of the award. Wilson was chosen for his display of outstanding effort, enthusiasm, excellence and courage in prosecuting cases. "We are fortunate to have such a dedicated individual representing our community," said District Attorney Scott Owens.
Assistant District Attorney Wilson successfully prosecuted two attempted murder cases in 2010. In 2006, David Allen Virgo, a parolee living in Applegate and wanted on felony assault charges was arrested by the Placer County Special Enforcement Team (S.E.T.). During the arrest, Virgo opened fire on the S.E.T. with two handguns. He was apprehended without injury to the officers or citizens. Virgo was convicted on 22 felony counts, which included 10 charges of attempted murder and was sentenced to 121 years to life in state prison.
Jeffery Wilson also prosecuted the case against Paul Thomas Heintz, a 24-year-old Rocklin resident who, in 2009, stabbed a former friend several times in the abdomen at Sierra College over a relationship with a woman. Heintz was found guilty by a jury of attempted murder and was sentenced to 11 years in state prison.
"Assistant District Attorney Jeff Wilson's efforts in the Virgo case helped take a dangerous person off of our streets. Mr. Wilson's commitment to justice is exemplified not only by his outstanding work on that case, but by his efforts everyday in our office," said District Attorney Scott Owens.

Andrea Armani
Dear Amanda, This is a very good question, and depending on your year in school, a very timely one as well as applications to PhD programs are due relatively soon. Typically, in industry, the researchers who have PhDs are given the greatest amount of freedom, both in selecting and in managing their projects. Additionally, these researchers will also manage other researchers who will typically have bachelors or technical degrees. However, this freedom is not dependent on the field of engineering that you choose. In fact, to develop a truly innovative product, industry often brings together teams of engineers from different disciplines. For example, one of my colleagues who has a PhD and who works in the biotech industry manages a project which focuses on developing a new type of implantable device. These colleague and her co-workers have PhDs in bioengineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. I have other colleagues who work in the defense industry and who oversee the development of unmanned or robotic ground vehicles. These colleagues have PhDs in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and applied mathematics. If you think you might be interested in engineering, I would recommend participating in research in an engineering research lab at your school. Getting hands-on experience will help you decide if engineering is right for you and, if you decide to go to graduate school, it will strengthen your application. Best of luck! Andrea M Armani

Hammond, Fred (Contemporary Musicians)
Since the early 1980s, Fred Hammond has been a well regarded figure on the Contemporary Christian music scene, first with his group Commissioned and later as a solo artist with his own touring choir, Radical for Christ. After more than 20 years in the music business, however, Hammond has become almost as well known for his work as a Christian-music entrepreneur. He has worked on over 80 albums since establishing his own production company, Face to Face, in 1992. He has also taken his music to thousands of fans by keeping up a busy touring schedule. His own album releases have been accompanied by extensive promotional work to encourage urban radio stations to begin playing Contemporary Christian music. As Hammond told Billboard about his efforts to broaden his audience, "People in the African-American church have this conception of praise and worship music as just being white music. So we decided that I would cover all the tunes they would normally do and remix them for the urban setting."
Born in Detroit around 1961, Hammond grew up in a neighborhood where two of the dominant forces were music and religion. Raised in a churchgoing family, Hammond also studied the bass guitar; by the age of 17, he had started to pursue a career in music by playing and singing in his family's church on a regular basis. Hammond's adolescent years, however, were troubled as he struggled to find some direction in his life. "I would steal from the store down the street, then go to church," he admitted to American Visions. "But my mother kept us connected to the church, and that gave us a sense of God." He added, "I was another young African American walking around with no clue." After leaving high school, Hammond joined the Army, but the experience did not turn into a career for the budding musician.
After his stint in the Army, Hammond was inspired by the efforts of his friends in the Winan family to start recording and releasing their own music under the group name the Testimonials in the late 1970s. "We all lived together in the neighborhood, we all did music, we all did home recordings with cheesy albums that had covers drawn by our cousins," Hammond later told American Visions. "But the Testimonials had taken it to a whole new level." Impressed by the Winans' professional approach to making Christian music, Hammond toured with the group as its bass player and backup singer. Barely out of his teens, he had already established a career as a professional musician.
With a forceful personality and a drive to succeed, Hammond formed his own group, Commissioned, around 1982. The group released a series of albums in the 1980s with a sound and style that differed little from the contemporary sounds of urban-oriented music, aside from its Christian-themed lyrics. As he discussed his musical influences in an Ebony interview, "I'm from the old school. I've got a bit of [Edwin] Hawkins and the Winans and [James] Cleveland in me, but there is also Earth, Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight. That's my musical heritage. That's what I grew up with. Put that together in one pot, and mix it with high praise and urban flair. My music is cultural."
Although he spent over a decade with Commissioned, the experience was fraught with tension. As he told Tamara Hundley in an interview posted on the Fred Hammond Online website, "I thought Commissioned was my own group because I started it But, whenever you have more than one vision, there is division. God deals with one vision. A lot of people confuse vision and ownership. God does not deal in democracy where ministries and groups are concerned. You do not vote on the plan of God." Still, Hammond took pride in Commissioned's achievements. As he boasted in an interview with Melanie Clark of the Gospelflava website, "The sound was cutting edge and if you pull out some of those earlier Commissioned projects, you will find that production-wise, Commissioned was light-years ahead of the pack." Hammond added, "We changed the world."
Despite Commissioned's successhich included a Gospel Music Association Dove Award for Contemporary Gospel Album of the Year in 1990ammond decided to focus on a solo career beginning with the 1991 release I Am Persuaded. As he told Billboard, "The agonizing part was that I didn't want to go. Commissioned had been my comfort zone, but I just felt like we had peaked, and vision-wise we were growing apart. It was like six people driving a car with only one steering wheel." He also used his creative vision to branch out as a producer with the opening of his own Face to Face production studios in the Detroit suburb of Southfield, Michigan, in 1992. In less than a decade after the studios opened, Hammond had served as producer or coproducer on approximately 80 albums, including works by the Winans, who were now gospel music superstars.
At home, Hammond and his wife, Kimberly, whom he married in 1986, were also busy raising their daughter, BreeAnn, born two years later. In 1998, the couple adopted a son, Darius Sean Hammond. Hammond hoped his actions would inspire others to serve the children of their own communities. As he told Ebony, "I wanted to be a role model, to help out. We need organizations like the Big Brothers and Big Sisters, but I wanted to go one step further. I wanted to be a father, where my son can see me every day and be right here with me."
In the 1990s Hammond released a string of successful albums with his backing choir, Radical for Christ. The 12-to-15-member group also accompanied him on numerous tours, including the 1997 "Tour of Life" series, which played to over a half-million fans in about 70 cities. Typically, Hammond and Radical for Christ spent about 30 weeks of each year touring throughout the decade. Their fans also saw them on such Christian shows as the 700 Club, Praise the Lord, and the Pat Boone Show, where they made regular appearances. Although the chubby, middle-aged entertainer was an unlikely leading man, he also hoped to get a movie career off the ground. As he told Hundley in characteristically expansive fashion about one such project, "This will be a movie that will get the whole world involved."
Despite his activities as a producer, concert performer, and actor, however, Hammond continued to be best known for his music. His sophomore solo effort, Deliverance, arrived in 1993 and his releases with Radical for Christ, 1995's Inner Court and 1996's The Spirit of David, sold about 350,000 combined copies. The 1998 release Pages of Life: Chapters 1 and 2, however, was Hammond's greatest success to date. In addition to hitting number one on the Billboard gospel album chart, the release eventually earned platinum sales certification. The 2000 release, Purpose by Design, was another number one album on the gospel charts. The album also earned a Dove Award for Best Contemporary Gospel Album of the Year.
After more than 20 years as a professional musician, Hammond took a great deal of satisfaction that his work reached a large cross section of the audience for Christian music. "We have a youth-oriented sound, but now our audience includes people from as early as eight years of age to 60 years old," he told Hundley. "Everybody is targeting the youth now, and although I understand that, I'm trying to give the general body something." Although he was an avid promoter of Contemporary Christian music to a broad audience, Hammond remained focused on his primary reason for making music. "It feels now that people are starting to get into praise and worship. It's like I'm teaching them what to expect. It's like, 'Lord, I appreciate you for hooking me up! I'll teach the people with diligence," he told Clark, adding, "Still a large part of the urban community is not into the praise and worship scene. They like my music, but they don't know why they enjoy what I do."

The Task Force to Expand Access to Civil Legal Services, appointed by Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman, issued a report last week that said while the current level of commitment to pro bono is "encouraging," the demand remains as acute as ever, especially in light of continuing economic uncertainty and, more recently, Hurricane Sandy.

Daily Music Post #95
NZCA/LINES - Base64 Love
This is the first album of 2012 that I can't stop listening to, especially this song. They're being compared a lot to Metronomy and Hot Chip (who happen to be two of my favorite bands), and I can definitely hear the the similarity. This song reminds me a lot of Hot Chip, from the tongue in cheek lyrics, to the duel vocals which even sound a bit like Taylor and Goddard from Hot Chip.
I kinda love anything that blends a sort of R&B/pop sensibility with electro/alt, like again Hot Chip, or Class Actress, Niki & the Dove, or TEED, I tend to dig that sort of thing more often than not. There's something about a nice danceable beat combined with nice slow harmony that satisfies me on a deep level. Also, it's kinda sexy music.
More Songs:
Okinawa Channels - http://youtu.be/VqskdABm8t4
Compass Points - http://youtu.be/0iDGEl7OO7o
Moonlit Car Chase - http://youtu.be/fvRkQP0F3Hs
Oh, and I should mention that NZCA/LINES has a tumblr, so you should probably follow that if you were into the tunes.
Hope you enjoyed today's daily music post, if not that's okay, perhaps you'll dig the next one.

Thanks for rating this design!
A simple but memorable logo that makes great use of a simple typeface. I love the shading on the logo itself and the impact that the blue colour makes on the grey background.
The reflections and use of lighting simply adds to the impact of the logo.

By Kate Stanhope,
Exactly two weeks after her bone marrow transplant, Good Morning America co-host Robin Roberts says she's feeling great.
In a new entry on her blog, Roberts says that her blood counts are "GREAT!" and that her doctors and nurses are "very pleased with my progress."
Robin Roberts undergoes bone marrow transplant
"I have had some extremely painful days and it's still difficult for me to eat because of all the chemo," she says, but notes, "I continue to learn so much on this journey, especially when it comes to true friendship and love. My friends near and far -- like Sam [Champion] and Josh [Elliott] who came to visit yesterday -- have been lifting my spirits."
Roberts, who received the bone-marrow transplant from her sister, said she is optimistic she will be able to continue her recovery at home next week.
Roberts was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, myelodysplastic syndrome, back in June and started a leave of absence from Good Morning America on Sept. 1.

School Bus Accessory – Batman Design on Wheel Hub
Only our number one (most senior) school bus driver could sport rear wheel hubs that were painted black with a center hub artistically displaying the Batman icon. The shop had her bus in for service and part of that included re-painting the wheels and hubs, the mechanics in a teasing mood created this fun design and painted them on hers. Are you smiling yet?? It only lasted a couple weeks and then it was back to the standard, boring school bus yellow wheels, but it was a sweet secret for those few days.

Suh Nam-pyo vs. Guus HiddinkThere is one big unmistakable similarity between Suh Nam-pyo, president of the state-run elitist science and engineering school, and Guus Hiddink, the Dutch football coach who led the Korean national team during the 2002 World Cup. Both came to Korea to provide help and expertise ― Suh to energize KAIST at a time when its original 1971 foundational spirit of nurturing technological know-how for the nation was foundering, and Hiddink to raise the level of Korean soccer by many notches. Both men made great contributions but other than this, there are few if any similarities between them. Hiddink decided to pack and leave immediately after the World Cup ended. Buoyed by the team's first-ever, possibly last-ever fourth-place finish, the nation begged him to stay just a bit longer. He left, saying that it was time for both Korea and himself to move on. For a while after he left, the Hiddink phenomenon continued, manifesting in a fad to emulate his coaching style throughout society. In contrast, Suh, a highly-qualified mechanical engineer who earned a bachelor of science degree and a master's from MIT, a P.h.D at Carnegie-Mellon University and led an engineering department in the blue-ribbon U.S. National Science Foundation, decided to stay with KAIST for a second four-year term that will end in 2014. The 76-year-old, a Korean-born naturalized American, came to KAIST in the hope that he would devote the last chapter of his life to helping his motherland. Korea also expected him to invigorate the nation's technological prowess. Everything appeared to go smoothly at first. Suh was hailed as the innovator that the school and its sponsor, the government, had hoped for. His reform package was characterized by two initiatives. English was adopted as the language in which lectures were to be given and underachieving students were told to pay tuition in a school where all expenses were covered by the state. Suh's experiment would have continued had there not been a series of student suicides. Critics claim that the students were put under enormous stress in the school, causing some "misfits" to take their lives. The mandatory use of English in classrooms was discounted as something that hampered the student-professor communication, forcing them to study English when they had to do research. The tuition scheme caused him a great deal of criticism for fostering an unhealthy level of competition among the students. He stood fast and prevailed, although his reputation was tarnished, but he still had time to pack and leave, disregarding his KAIST stint as a bad experience. He has since been facing a rebellion from professors that, according to many signs has passed the point of no return. He was accused of stealing a patent from a professor but has recently been cleared as a result of police investigations. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is obviously unhappy with Suh, and has set up a panel of experts who some argue are trying to kick out the KAIST president. What sort of state do you think Suh is now in after years of ordeal? Is he devastated by a relentless wave of criticism targeting him? Even if he was, he didn't show it during a one-and-half hour interview at The Korea Times last week. He said that he came to KAIST for his own "selfish" reasons. "My children can't speak Korean and I have seven grandchildren who are from interracial marriages," he said. "I am here to do what I can do for the nation that only I among my family am certain is my motherland." Regarding the student suicides, he said that there were factors other than an atmosphere for excessive competition and decided not to continue, perhaps feeling it sounded too defensive. Then, he said, "In research, we are our own biggest competitor," adding that as a state-sponsored institute, KAIST should produce the best research results. "Students were told to use English in our school when they applied," he said. "If they didn't think that they could, they should not have applied for KAIST in the first place." He didn't look like he was ready to quit anytime soon. For all his faults and flaws, he looks like he is trying his best to stick to his contract with Korea. It is time that we should start to try and keep our side of the bargain not for Suh but for ourselves. After all, we invited him and allowed him to get his second term. We should let him serve until the end of his contract and decide whether his KAIST stint was a service or disservice. |
