So my frat is having this part on saturday and we have a nice strobe light and mixer: behringer pro mixer dx 1000. We wanted to have the mixer connected to the strobe because I'm pretty sure that it can but I can't figure out how to make it work. What I tried was the 1/4" "light" output on the back of the mixer to the 1/4" controller in on the strobe. Maybe I just don't know how to tell the mixer to output a signal a strobe understands? Anyway anyone with experience with pro dj equipment should help me out Thanks in advance!
I just grabbed the pdf and read the instructions. Seems the light needs to have sound to light capability as well, but if your does, it says to adjust the mixer until it works. Too little and the light may not flash or be dim, too much and the light will stay on. I also assume you had music playing during this testing?
i think it has the sound to light? I mean its got the 1/4" audio in for it. And yeah music was going during the testing is there something that needs to be turned on/up you think?
This is all I found and was going by... 9.3 Sound-to-light A mono audio output [60] is provided for connection to lighting controllers with a sound-to-light facility. Connection is via a standard 1/4" jack on the back panel. Sensitivity is conveniently adjustable from the DX1000 by the LIGHT LEVEL knob [40] to the left of the bargraph meters. Too high, and the lights will stay on, too low and they won't flash at all. Adjust LIGHT LEVEL until lights flash in time with the music.
Basic principle says you have an amplifier that takes, say, 1-5 mV signals of the non-amplified music and boosts it up to 30, 50, 100V, whatever - depending on the gain you set it to. If your light comes on at it's most dimmed at ~50V and achieves full brightness at ~120V, then that's your working dynamic range. You'd then want to map 1mV of music to 50V of light, and 5 mV of music to 120V of light. The kicker is, it would probably be too much to ask of the mixer to actually deliver power to the lights, so instead, it will pass on an amplified control signal (of the order of 1-5 V) to the lights, where it will be interpreted by the strobe's controller and translated into working voltage levels (50-120V). Now, regarding translation of this theory into practice, I'm afraid it's beyond my knowledge at the moment. Look for a "gain" setting related to lights, and start from there... ## EDIT ## sneekypeet Posted after I started my reply... The "LIGHT LEVEL" he mentions is the "gain" setting that I'm referring to. Assuming that the output range of the mixer's "Sound-to-light" is withing the expected input range of the strobe controller, it's all a matter of manually finding the right amount of gain for the strobe to turn on and off at the correct music level. Just fiddle with the mixer a bit, I don't really see how it could do any harm.
I looked and its a remote in, im guessing its not the same then. Is there any other way I could get it to work you think?
Perhaps you could split off the audio output with a Y-splitter, and run one of the outputs straight to the strobe. That's provided that the strobe's signal input is capable of handling the (pre-)amplified signal coming out of the mixer. As to how you'd actually control the output/input levels, well, you'd be stuck with volume control on the mixer itself. If you put an amp after the mixer, and before the speakers, you can volume up/down the music there, leaving the split-off signal from the mixer going into the strobe undisturbed. A hackjob for sure, but it just might work.
no unfortunately not... ok, we dont have 3.5 to 1/4 converters though only the other way around. and the amps are after the mixer so i guess i could conect it directly to that?
Doesn't matter, use 2x 1/4 -> 3.5 connectors and a male <-> male 3.5 cable. Yes, it should be alright if the amps are after the mixer (as they should be). The signal going to the mixer will be pre-amped, but shouldn't leave the single digit voltages... It should work fine. Just find the right output level.
oh i misunderstood you we have an actual 1/4" audio cable now, so you think it should just get plugged into the light effect out or whatever?
Right, I see some crude mspaint visuals are in order... If you can't get the "sound-to-light" output to work, you can try the above. Outside of those two options, I'm out of ideas.
Then you need an amplifier that will boost the audio output voltage range (which is of the order of one volt) to the strobe light's working voltage range (one to two orders of magnitude above that, depending on the lamp(s), 50, 100, 200V?). That's assuming your lights aren't LED-based. You could, in theory, use a guitar amp for that, if you'd turn it to the required level.
oh well we had fun at the party no strobe, whatever haha ill have to try to get it working for the next one though!
is it dmx controllable? the strobes ive worked that had sound to light capability had to be configured to use it. however if it is dmx then get your self a little lightning controller cheap ones can be had that turns it on and off. bigger ones can adjust strobe speed etc. Some allow for presets and have sound to light built in plus then you can control any lantern with a dmx input. dmx is a 5 pin xlr, cheaper models use a standard 3 pin xlr. to be truthful the extra two pins arn't used by most desk's. were meant to be for return info from things like moving heads for lamp temperature, running hours etc ranging from this http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/stagg-4-channel-dmx-light-controller.html to this thats quite old now though

Saab headed the way of Pontiac, Hummer, Saturn - extinction
Saab filed for bankruptcy in Sweden on Monday after its former owner, General Motors, opposed a plan that could have bailed the company out.
Saab developed severe cash flow problems almost immediately after GM sold it to a Dutch company, Spyker. Saab had to stop making cars this year while it sought new investors.
The company found a buyer in China, but GM said no to the deal.
Selling the company triggered contract clauses that required GM to sign off on transfers of technology used in many Saab vehicles.
A GM spokesman said the company didn't want to lose control of its technology and allow Saab to become a competitor's shortcut into the thriving auto industry in China.
AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan says there's now little hope the quirky little brand can be saved.
"[Saab] was a vehicle that could easily be seen on the road as a Saab," says Sullivan. "It could never be mistaken for anything else, and I think we're losing an iconic design."
Saab sold only a few thousand cars in the U.S. last year.

Students finish second at expo
SPRINGFIELD Students at River Valley Technical Center in Springfield took second place last week at the Manufacturing Student Challenge at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Mass.
The students from the schools Mechanical Design and Innovation class disassembled, cleaned, refurbished, reverse engineered and re-assembled an original 1952 Jones and Lamson Model BC-7 Optical Comparator. The project was completed in four weeks.
The students modeled all components in SolidWorks and created industry-standard working drawings for each component. The completely functional, refurbished comparator was demonstrated as part of the Dream It Do It Challenge presentation and will now become part of the living collection in the Working Machine Shop at the American Precision Museum.
The American Precision Museum is at 196 Main St. in Windsor.

Millions of students across America are not getting the education they deserve. Some are forced to attend chronically under-performing public schools in their communities. Others struggle to fit their learning styles or personalities to outdated educational models that don't meet their needs. In either case, these students are leaving school unprepared for the workforce or higher education, and limiting their long-term potential.
These children and their families deserve a better option, and public charter schools can provide that option for families who need it.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, Currently in our bathroom, we have two oversized framed mirrors above each of our two sinks. The issue is that these mirrors are too large and partially cover the electrical outlets. There is a little room to play with above the mirrors inbetween the light fixtures. However I still don't have enough room to completely uncover the electrical outlets. I was thinking about building a ledger for the framed mirrors and possibly framing a box behind the mirrors to make it look like a vanity? This would bring the mirrors out a few inches making the outlets more accessible and bringing the mirror closer making it easier to see. Has anyone seen this done like this? Is it a dumb idea? LOL. Looking for ideas on how I can use what I have and make it work better without having to move the electrical outlets or buy new mirrors. When I looked at moving the outlets, the wall studs are not in ideal places and the outlets would end up not being centered. I'd like to avoid opening up the wall and keep it simple. Thanks! Regards, Bruce F (NH) | |||
I'm all in favor of replacing the mirrors. it's the easiest, cheapest solution. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
I don't know what it would look like, but you could mount a board (2 x 4?)on the top and bottom of the the wall behind the mirror and then hang the mirror from that. Make the board at least 6" shorter than the width of the mirror and paint it the wall color. I'm not sure how this will look from the side - depends on your layout but I would give it a try. | ||||
It is really tough to compromise over large mirrors if people are die hard fan of large mirrors in the bathroom. They can use extension cords for their electrical supplies. Also they can go for small and water and shock proof switches. | ||||

Okay, some news; some unfortunate incident caused my current system to crumble in front of my eyes, causing me to switch to a new system that effects my real life bottom line; hopefully I can take some solace that I'm doing something to improve the situation.
On a related note, previous reviews may get updates in the near future, depending on how the new system serves me. It's always a hindrance when something your so used to changes all of a sudden.
Almost forgot: seems like NBC is replacing it's Qubo block with a new preschool block that'll be powered by the majority NBCU-owned Sprout channel, just a reminder (if this doesn't lead to the death of Qubo as a whole) that you may want to catch all of the Babar episodes that you can as oddly foretold in the first review I did for this show. Now then...
School Days
When "The Phantom" was first aired, it was our first taste to his days in Paris when he was living with the Old Lady. What we tasted was beyond expectations as we witnessed Babar roaming around Paris and having the adventure of his life. Of course, it was also a sign of what'd we expect in the second season. This episode (which should of been the season opener) confirms the what the previous episode foretold in that we get more of Babar's life in Paris, and in this case we get his first sights of his first days in school, except his first days weren't exactly good. That's because he's the target of a bunch of dominant established bully brothers the Leone's (their voices that don't fit them; it's going to be really hard to look past the voices.) just because he's different. (obviously) This is different from other bully episodes in that they don't force a message to stop bullying, instead they teach people to stand up for themselves in their own special way; the way the episode teaches that is through the eyes of Babar and the portrayal of bullying that manages to be both serious and charming.
Bullying, a serious problem.
Throughout the episode we are constantly shown the implications of bullying, people forcing themselves to adapt new things to avoid being picked on, those things hindering their individuality; that is shown in a way that reflects mostly every bully situation out there, you can't watch this episode and not think about the stuff that goes on in other schools, people who are going through the same situation as this Babar episode but in real life. That is counteracted by scenes that are intended to make you laugh; when we see Babar with wig on him, we can't help but to laugh and when we laugh; it lightens up the situation. This helps to get the message across because when it's a total gloomfest, the message is muddy and a muddy message obviously equals a mussy lesson. There are few shows that can pull off both effectively and still get the message across, the fact that Babar was able to pull both off in an effective manner makes it one of those few shows.
Of course, one can't have bullying without a portrayal of school and this episode manages to give an impressive portrayal of what school is like; it isn't exactly a super-realistic portrayal per say (the rooms look realistic and the hallways look realistic but there are small things that manage to hinder it; for one the fact that one teacher is ever seen in the school... you think that with her constant appearances and hints of personality, she'd play more of a part in the episode.) but it does manage to get alot of the things about school right, things such as the overall feel of it. That portrayal is so well done that it rubs off on the entire episode, I mean it just manages to give that eerily real feeling to the entire episode; who knows what would of happened had they done the school differently, it might not even be as good or powerful.
Rather impressive wouldn't you say...
With every school comes a pair of students that'll be prominent in the episode and these students more then deliver, even though we only learn one of their names ("Fransque"); Every character feels as real as the next, having traits that sets each one apart from the crowd; those traits may be related to the episode (in a sensible realistic way) but it's not like they'll be remembered for that one thing only, in essence they'll be remembered for their charm and personalities; when you hear someone talking about The Three Musketeers and how it relates to them in their life (which one does in this episode), you know that past that cell of animation lies a person, a person that's real in every sense of the word. Even though we don't know their names, everything we see about them will rub off in our heads, thus proving that you don't need to have names in order to make characters memorable.
Portraying a bullied kid on TV is hard, most of the time the performance is either cliche/goofy or super-serious; most people watching the TV can't relate to what's happening onscreen and if they can't relate then the message you're trying to send won't get across. People will relate to what's going on as Babar turns in a performance that is super relatable; he makes it look so easy as he showcases pain, depression, fear, worry and excitement in ways that make you forget he's just a fictional character; plus he manages to adhere to the same balance the episode had perfectly. This is all something that mostly every of us has been in, we've all been in this situation and seeing a cute elephant going through the same stuff as us makes us feel something. Even if you haven't been in the predicament, you just can't help but to feel for him mainly because of the pure emotion and charm that he displays, something which ultimately defines his performance and the episode as a whole.
Just look at him and tell me if you don't feel anything.
And yet, we haven't gotten to the story itself; the thing that ever so drives these episodes. Well I can tell you that the story doesn't disappoint, in fact it give us what could be described as the best usage of fitting a plot within a short timeframe. It manages to pack a lot of content within it's running time with nary a minute going unused; whether it's Babar at school or even at home or even the scenes that set everything up, they manage to use every minute of it and they use it in a way that's natural and gives everything a major part in the story, from the settings to the characters to even the small details themselves. It builds up to the a really nice ending where everything comes full circle. Every moment is tense and action-packed, building up a momentum that would come to define the ending; there are barely any scenes that affect that momentum with every moment being as tense and action packed as the last one. The ending never gets old; even if you've watched it 1,000 times, you can always get brisk satisfaction out of it as you watch those finely animated Musketeers-esque scenes; plus there's always something to seeing action being taken, especially in regards to a situation like this.
Overall, our second look into Babar's past turns out to be similar to the first, really good. It may not be as fine as "The Phantom" but it manages to be nearly fine and it succeeds on it's own merits. This episode manages to strike a fine balance of portraying the subject matter at hand and being entertaining well and again, very few series can do that well; you'll have fun as you watch yet also feel something for the situation at hand. It may not stop bullying but it does manage to be another one of Babar's classics and it does manage to make you learn a little bit about Babar himself. (they also do it in the entertaining wraparounds themselves; just a hint.)

| Depends on where you are and what network you are watching. As I understand it, SciFi in the US has stopped airing original S6 eps and starting this Friday will be rerunning them (4 in a row!), then Friday nights will have SG1 reruns through to January. After that, SciFi will start up the 2nd half of S6. |

| Scifi makes its 'customers' wait because they know they don't stand a chance, program-wise, against the network's fall lineup, nor can they really compete during the holiday season when people don't watch as much, or the air is riddled with specials. This way they can take a show and delay airing, in pieces, and drag it on It's typical cable behavior, which is why I like SG1 better in syndication. It gets pre-empted less by sports! But reportedly SG1 should return in January. |

| The crazy thing about SciFi is that they HAD a great Friday lineup. From "Dead Zone" at 8pm, through "Stargate SG1" S6, then "Farscape", then repeats of those two shows, we stayed happily glued to a single channel until 1am. Then they bagged "Farscape", went to reruns of "Dead Zone" and "SG1" S6, followed by a really pathetic remake of "In Search Of", which we can't stand. So we watch the reruns of "Dead Zone" and "SG1", then go cruising around the channels looking for something else to watch. "Law & Order: SVU" makes a good substitute. I'm curious to see "Hack" because I've always enjoyed watching David Morse. And perhaps there'll be ghost stories on History Channel. So, SciFi has gone from having our full attention from 8pm-1am, to 8pm-10pm. Once S6 starts up again in January we will be hooked on a totally different viewing pattern and SciFi will have lost us for those additional 3 hours. And now for a word from our sponsors . . . :evil: |

| I have not bothered with SciFi friday since the last first-run SG1 ended. I watch Dead Zone on USA (better class of ads, if nothing else), and with the new fall season, am quite happy watching HACK and ROBBERY HOMICIDE. Since I keep tabs on the TV Guide (SCiFi is already saying new episodes, and uh, er, they're wrong ) I'll figure out when new ones start up... I sporadically catch the Monday night lineup but it's edited, and I'm better off watching my tapes off showtime - complete and unedited. And I know of many fans who aren't watching at all as they have got seasons 1 and 2 on DVD. |

| I agree with Webmouse. SciFi had a great Friday night lineup. Now with Stargate showing 4 epys on Monday nights prime time, with each of the four being rerun again at midnight Monday through Thursday, there is no reason to mess up a phenomenal Friday night lineup. :dead: |

| But they've already messed with the lineup If they go ahead with that schedule, they've wrecked the 10pm slot. I keep wondering just how well farscape would have done if they hadn't been booted out of the prime 9pm slot. Anything at 10pm will get slaughtered by MONK which is now the highest rated cable show. |

| For Spookypumpkin in the UK, Sky One won't break now until Christmas over it's Stargate showings. We usually end up missing about two episodes which they generally show as double eppy's in January. (If I rightly remember). UK TV doesn't break in the middle of seasons like the US. |

MARQUETTE -- Friday a forum at the Peter White Public Library updated the public on the impact of mining in the Lake Superior basin. This was the second of three forums that are free and open to the public.
Presentations from environmental scientists focused on the history and future of mining and its effect on the local ecology. The forums are joint effort between the U.S. and Canada.
"The purpose of the lake superior forums is to make sure that we take care of lake superior, which is the cleanest of the great lakes but certainly has serious problems despite that and we search solutions to take care of lake superior for that future," said John Jackson of the Lake Superior Forum.
The final non-ferrous mining forum is scheduled for next March in Minnesota. More information on the forums is available by clicking here.

KIRKSVILLE, MO -- One major shopping area in Kirksville is going to continue to see improvements.
The Board of Directors of the South 63 Corridor Community Improvement District met at Kirksville City Hall Monday to discuss their recent audit report for the Fiscal Year 2012 done as part of the city's audit process. The report was good.
In the last few months, sidewalks and utility improvements were made in the area and the city is pleased with the improvements so far and is looking forward to more in the future.
"That whole shopping center on that end of Baltimore is the entrance to Kirksville. So it's important it looks nice and greets people as they come into town , so we are certainly happy to make some improvements to give it some green space along that road in that area to welcome folks into town," said Kirksville Assistant City Manager Melanie Smith.
The South 63 District is funded by the sales tax from purchases made from the shopping center there to help with public improvements.

My friends and I had a great experience at this inn. It is in a beautiful area, great view of the stars at night and the leaves in the fall. It is a... little older so the floor boards squeak a bit, but it is a very charming place and well maintained from what I could tell. The staff was so very friendly and accommodating. I wish that we could have stayed there an extra night, but sadly we were just passing through the area. Jessica - Virginia さんのコメント ( 2013/10/15)

"A twist of the vegetarian classic Navratan Korma for the chicken lovers." — Raveena1251
Watch video tips and tricks
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 cup chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons tomato puree
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped potatoes
1 cup chopped fresh green beans
salt to taste
1 cup water
1 cup coconut cream
Turned out delicious!! BUT.. the only problem i had was in cooking the potatoes. i ended up cooking the mixture about 25-30 minutes longer than the recipe stated. Next time i'll semi-cook the potatoes first. I also added: 1 Tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger (cooked with the onions) 1 teaspoon Cumin 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder (1 1/2 tsp total)
THANK YOU RAVEENA! VERY GOOD!! I also used chicken breasts. The meat was tender, moist, and flavorful. I skipped the carrots,cut red potatoes in larger size pieces skin on and added garden fresh beans. I also added 2 chopped Thai hot peppers with the garlic. Finished with greek yogurt. AWESOME and EASY.
8 Ratings
All of my kids (ages 3-14) ate this -- not too spicy, but very flavorful. The sauce was very thin, more like a soup, so I'll omit all or most of the water next time. I diced the veggies pretty small, so no problem with undercooking there. I knew chicken breast wouldn't take 20 minutes to cook, so I put in the veggies to start cooking while I chopped the chicken. And I wrote "start rice" at the top of my recipe so I'll remember to do that next time. :) We ate it with naan bread. Thanks for the recipe. I wanted to use some coconut cream I had purchased, and this turned out great.
I think this has the potential to be a great curry. Think it might need more spices and possibly more heat. It is not easy for me to get coconut cream so I used coconut milk instead... Am sure that took some of the richness away :( overall tasty but taste and adjust the spices to your liking.
Extremely watery. Bland. Tried to make it twice now and I will not make it again.

LOYOLA MAROON Vol. XLIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, Sept. 15, 1967 No. 1 Students to hear Fulbright on U.S. policies in Vietnam Sen. J.

As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Fulbright has been consistantly in the spotlight through his persistent and biting criticism of United States involvement in the war in Southeast Asia. Of late, he has mounted an attack on the administration's use of the Gulf of Tonkin * i Resolution in its defense of its war ~ i policies. Fulbright received his greatest attention during the televised hearings of his foreign relations committee in the spring of 1966 in which he and other senators grilled administration officials and heard some of the most controversial testimony on the war in Viet Nam to date.

He was 57 years old. Father Donnelly had suffered a severe heart attack in June, and was recuperating at Hotel Dieu Hospital in El Paso. A Requiem Mass was celebrated for Father Donnelly Tuesday in Holy Name of Jesus Church. The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., delivered the homily. "The most important thing you can say about Father Donnelly is that he was a good priest," Father Jolley said. "This was felt by his former associates, as is shown by the fact that many of them are here today to honor him." Father Donnelly "left a profound effect on both Loyola and the city of New Orleans," he said. He "did much for the upbuilding of Loyola and the community in general." Chief celebrant of the Mass, the Very Rev. John H. Edwards, S.J.. provicial of the Southern Province of the Society of Jesus, said, "We lost a great gentleman when we lost him." Concelebrants of the Mass were the Revs. J. Donald Pearce, S.J.. president of Jesuit High School in New Orleans; Ignatius Fabacher, president of Jesuit High School in El Paso, and Charles O'Neill.

Under his administration WWL and the Field House were constructed. He started the "Program for Progress," the forerunner of "Campaign for Excellence." He also acquired the Edgar J. Moore tract in Kenner and started the construction of Biever Hall and Danna Center.FATHER DONNELLY Former Loyola President Percival Stern pledges $1 million to LU CFE By ED CURDA A $1 million pledge to Loyola's "Campaign for Excellence" by the Percival Stern Foundation has pushed the CFE total past the $3 million mark. Percival Stern, New Orleans business leader and president of the foundation, announced the pledge at a July 14 luncheon of the university's directors, regents and campaign leaders.In making the gift. Stern said the financial challenges faced by private colleges and universities are great, but private institutions must be kept strong. "They are in the American tradition of freedom and private initiative and are important in our national development," he said. The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley. S.J.. accepted the pledge, calling it an historic event in the history of the university. "It is one of the largest Loyola has received and comes at u time when the university is going all out to expand and improve," he said. "This gift moves us closer to our $11.9 million goal and. most importantly, will provide a stimulus to our workers in seeking the remaining funds." A business leader for nearly 70 years, Stern is also a leader in civic work and philanthropy. Through the Percival Stern Foundation, he has made major gifts to a number of institutions, especially in the educational, medical and youth fields. The Stern pledge and subsequent gifts and pledges bring the campaign total to $3,267,462, more than onefourth of the $11.9 million goal for the 3-year first phase. Donald K. Ross, vice-president for development and public relations, ■ said the campaign, which encompasses uniy the New Orleans area to date, has received gifts and pledges from about 5,000 donors since the Feb. 20 kickoff. He credits the response to the efforts of more than 300 campaign volunteers. "One-fourth of the donors are supporting Loyola for the first time," Ross said, calling this "an amazing record made possible only through the energetic efforts of these alumni and non-alumni volunteers. The amount given and pledged is almost ten times the support gained by Loyola in any similar period." The largest single goal of the campaign's three-year first phase is $4.8 million for academic development, including strengthening and expansion of faculty, development of instructional, research and service programs and scholarship aid for students.

All but two of Father's paintings are circular. "It presents an entirely different challenge as far as shapes go," he said. Red, white, blue and black are the only colors used. Father explains, "I noticed red. white and blue are predominant colors used by advertisers and therefore they must ring with a certain clarity and directness of communication."Father Engeran said he later added black, "to keep it from being a patriotic or Dixie thing. I wanted to emphasize the beauty of black visually as well as in many other cases— black does have power." Many of the paintings are covered with plastic lids giving an obstacle distortion to them. Dr. John William Corrington, chairman of the English department, and a personal friend of Father Engeran. will read selections of his poetry at the Orleans Gallery honoring the show. All are invited to attend the reading on Friday, September 22 at 7:30 p.m. Father Engeran was the founding chairman of the visual arts department at Loyola University.

This is the first time in more than ten years that any girl from New Orleans won the Miss Louisiana contest and was among the ten semifinalisls in the national pageant. Miss Del Gallo, who is a senior in the College of Music, won both the Miss Greater New Orleans and Miss Louisiana contests. She performed "Un Bel Di" an aria from Madame Butterfly, dressed in a traditional Japanese costume and wig. She had also performed this aria in both the city and state contests. Encouraged by several of her sisters of Theta Phi Alpha sorority, Miss Del Gallo had said that she entered the Miss Greater New Orleans contest with no real hopes of winning, much less of going on to the national contest in Atlantic City. As a semi-finalist, she received a Second book portrays crime, vice in Quarter By BONNIE MATETICH John William Corrington, chairman of the English department, has published a book set in an atmosphere of vice in the New Orleans French Quarter. Published on June 20, The Upper Hand describes the experiences of Christopher Nieman, a man of thrity or so who is running away from the priesthood. "Except for a brief conclusion," says Granville Hicks (Saturday Review, June 24, 1967). "the novel is a description of the hell into which Christopher falls when he loses faith." Christopher becomes involved with a number of bizarre individuals, including a light-hearted and amoral prostitute, the operator of a brothel who once was a tycoon in a pornographic motion picture business, and the abortionist—head of a drug ring. Hicks criticizes Corrington for ". . . lapsing now and then into melodrama." but adds that his vision of hell cannot be easily forgotten. The Upper Hand is the author's second novel and is published under the Putnam label for $5.95. Corrington's first novel, And Wait For the Night, concerns the Civil War. It was published about three years ago.

A portion of the proceeds from the Coal Country project will go to support the Alliance for Appalachia
Most Americans are shocked to learn that nearly half of the electricity used in the United States today is produced by coal,
the dirtiest fossil fuel.
COAL COUNTRY reveals the truth about modern coal mining. The story is told by the people directly involved, both working miners and activists who are battling the coal companies in Appalachia. Tensions are high. It's a "new civil war," as families and communities are deeply split over mountaintop removal mining (MTR). The tops of mountains are blasted away, exposing seams of coal, while debris is pushed into valleys and streams. Residents endure health problems, dirty water in their wells, dust and grime on their floors. The miners are frightened that, without MTR, they'll lose their jobs and won't be able to feed their families.
What does this mean for America and the rest of the world? The coal industry is spending millions to promote what it calls "clean coal." Is it achievable? At what cost?

Well that big electronics show wrapping up in law's -- S and a push to make these all Internet.
Has a lot of critics already saying that this show is about all intrusive.
Look at this work -- -- -- contracts how quickly -- eating and and it vibrates when you should slow down visas is an item that I will not be buying.
Then there's this toothbrush that monitors your brushing habits and stores the info on the web.
Privacy advocate at Katrina -- says these gadgets are gonna cost you your pride is it big time.
-- -- job bidding bastard thinks that critics are being a bit paranoid severe that you so.
Are overreacting want.
Look I think at this point in time we don't have phones we have from these cable boxes ordering movies hotel room -- People already know a bunch of stuff about us even without us going into the home -- surrender that as a given.
Well -- I I learn from history right -- so the fact that is already happened means that when I do choose to devices that are going my home.
I know what to guard for and getting more Smart about the things that could happen and ensuring that that appliances that I choose have those.
Security measures built in and I now they're not doing something that you don't know.
Here's the thing life's full and that they can always do something that that they don't know we're the only -- its governance and effective discover your toasters and watch it.
Yeah well I think.
I've been a look I think he does -- I consider acting and helpless and -- The look look I think I think the only antidote against that is.
Going into the mountains and having a cabin where help someone still could be looking right into you right and into your window I think at the end of the day not -- -- -- agreed and well to an extent he's right this is the way that things are going unfortunately.
Right now meal we do have an option to choose the toaster that monitors us are not unfortunately in the future there will be an option but let's recap really.
They say they won't be enough to know what's it supposed to be sold -- us.
And we're not told that as a teacher that it can monitor us.
Well that currently the only Tulsa that's -- -- yeah about it this is more important -- because right now the government is listening to our phone calls.
Reading our emails -- in our diets and looking out our health records and -- in -- -- I have I want.
All of that in their heart and went back and shot that in our yes but but that but that's something that -- -- you know really pretty much -- -- -- that you.
You would choose to get I mean so where do you draw the line Katrina between stuff that could be useful.
-- -- you.
And and those that you have want no part of that's your choice.
While it is our choice like I said right now but now -- everything it's being switched over from the analog aides to the digital age.
It's not going to be a choice and that's what Americans need to understand when they do purchased these products because this is not just.
From your Smartphone to your other -- which I don't even know why you want to communicate with their other end.
This is two way wireless technology which means the government can also access the appliances in your home.
So that if you're watching your dishes at a time that's not optimal for water usage guess what.
It turns.
Off yeah but you know you're you're selling the talking up and sort of remind many times and say you really -- (%expletive) me off funds to do that our own.
-- -- -- where we don't with this I mean it was.
Scott and -- -- Sun Microsystems.
Is that if you value your privacy just get over it you know pretty much are you gonna save the outs -- that.
Part of the compromise in the the swap went with with ease of life and all that is surrendering some privacy.
In -- there's -- very with -- anything and I think privacy is becoming one.
Where technologies involved I think look I think what Katrina saying.
Makes a lot of sense you gotta be vigilant you gotta be proactive don't be stupid about the kinds of things with medicine things you could trust the purveyor of that product.
Not to be doing things that he's not supposed to be that's fair but you know what would you sell.
Third party information to another party -- -- -- -- -- an efficient market right I think as you move many pain points as there are that you feel old but by using an appliance there will be.
An antidote for that for instance -- saw started doing some funky stuff.
On the PC allowed back he had did you know a ton of industry groups.
Like -- Katrina step up and say hey stop.
Making us.
Reporting to you when we do certain actions on the machine and you know what they responded and then you had people like I never believe they honored that.
You know it or not resolved overnight and say we can we -- you every morning.
Today and I say without and I think it's a monitor right you know what -- did to a certain extent.
They could but I think at the end of the day you have these checks and balances and it's a marvel you argued checks and balances -- I think they've I think that we're aware of them and about half the battle really -- seem -- -- -- -- Now note now that the checks and balances clearly don't work on -- yeah -- -- -- except new privacy agreements because.
The most basic example FaceBook.
We just had a couple weeks ago the -- -- privacy issue that just popped up out of nowhere that most people were even aware about.
They hit the -- -- the American people want to understand accident happened -- this is stuck that we know about.
But at the end of the day -- these appliances might be helpful and Smart and cool and -- They will also be able to tell the authorities if you were truly indeed at home in bed asleep.
At the time of the murder.
They that that about the go to -- that would I think I think that had.
I do I think -- news -- murder -- -- you know allowing India but I look I think I think with anything in this society technology included we have weapons that we have to use.
Sort of selective application -- we have -- what we do have a way not that we would deliberately -- to start with let's say something -- did happen -- -- have to studio.
Obviously we could correlate a series of pictures of you walking down sixth avenue of it and put it to get he was here -- this that you're doing this that he gets stimulus.
This weekend at some of all that data will these cameras that we're tracking him -- he went through bank machine.
Whatever and then then use that information that was blindly assimilated problem list and then put it together.
And and -- almost indict you.
Yes and then and then we have our constitutional it says that that's not admissible so I think I think that.
You know you always have an optional -- scrap the bill of rights -- right it's an earlier level respect.
Well -- DO so that that's the bigger issue than this particular debate I think.
If we don't trust the institutions to use the technology in the data correctly then we're host -- or any other boroughs are ready.
A well we are I mean that our congress has set like I said they're already monetary and our emails are healthcare records are eating habits.
Our phone company this is already happening from the Bush Administration -- starting in the Patriot Act of the Indy AA.
People have got to rise up and say no we half to drawl.
The -- -- one of the support sending arrested.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Great I was hoping what have you would be really really fat to talk about the -- -- unfortunately my head did not and being produced but thank you both regardless -- -- --

In 2009-2010, SERVE supported fifteen programs through the Center for Scholarship and Faculty Development at Seattle Pacific University. These programs were intended to make theological reflection on vocation a central part of the life of the university, so that students will complete their undergraduate years with a theologically rich sense of Christian life purpose.
Each project element was designed both to challenge students with a vision of vocation that transcends career, status, or material aspirations as well as to equip them with theological tools and experiences they need to discern and develop their own calling. Many SERVE programs also benefit faculty, staff, alumni of SPU, and communities outside the university.
