We too easily rush from one thing to the next urgent matter. I want to stop and thank Katie Glover as Director of Institutional Effectiveness and Planning and Linda Lanam as the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) accreditation self-study coordinator for their work over the last two-and-a-half year in producing the VTS accreditation self-study. Beyond the details, the study is perhaps the best way to get a sense of VTS and its mission, a sense of what we do and the challenges we have in moving forward in developing leaders to serve the church and God's mission.
On December 21, Katie Glover sent out the ATS self-study and accompanying documents. This concluded a VTS institutional self-study process that was begun in the fall of 2010. The study began with four working committees of Board members, faculty, staff, and students. It covered all aspects of the Seminary, from program to governance, from business and finance to student services, from faculty to institutional advancement. Two-and-a-half years in the making, the VTS self-study has given clarity to the Seminary's great strengths and to the challenges to be addressed.
The accreditation visiting team will be at VTS during the week of February 25. They will read many documents and engage in even more conversation in order to offer their judgment on the state of VTS, our strengths and challenges, and to make recommendations regarding continuing accreditation. You can read the VTS accreditation
on the
VTS website
. The detail may be a bit overwhelming, but the introductions and conclusions tell the story of VTS over the last ten years. It is an inspiring story. And we would appreciate any
comments and response
you might have to the ATS self-study.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Win 7 does not recognize 2 TB in external enclosure?
I connected my external 2 disc enclosure (NexStar MX) with 2 TB and 1.5 TB HDDs.
Windows XP recognizes the enclosure perfectly. Windows 7, 64 bit Manage shows "Invalid Discs". What shall I do? I am shocked and frustrated. Do I have to format the discs?! They are almost full. Did anybody come across with this issue? What is the solution? I tried NexStar in another PC with Win XP - both HDDs are recognized.
Please help.

The Children's Hospital Of Philadelphia Hosts Fetal Surgery Patient Reunion In Florida
Over 100 Floridians, including patients treated while still in the womb, reunite with their Pennsylvania doctors and nurses
CLEARWATER, Fla., March 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) today brought together a unique community of families from across Florida: all former CHOP patients who either underwent fetal surgery to treat conditions before birth, or needed specialized care or surgery immediately after birth. The group gathered at the spring training home of the Philadelphia Phillies, Bright House Field in Clearwater, Florida.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130303/DC69941)
This reunion is an offspring of CHOP's annual Fetal Family Reunion, an ongoing 17-year tradition in which over 1,200 people from all 50 states gather in Philadelphia each June to celebrate, reconnect with their medical teams, and interact with other families who have experienced similar struggles. Nearly all of the children in attendance were prenatally diagnosed with a birth defect, such as spina bifida or congenital diaphragmatic hernia, that had potentially devastating outcomes."Babies with special needs require very specialized and experienced care, both before and after birth. The families gathered here today represent more than 13,000 expectant mothers from around the world to whom we've been able to offer hope and support since opening our Center in 1995," said N. Scott Adzick, M.D., Surgeon-In-Chief at Children's Hospital and director of the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment. "It is truly inspiring to see so many children, who as babies likely could have died, now running around and growing up healthy and strong." This Florida reunion was an opportunity for staff and patient families to reunite, celebrate and enjoy a fun-filled family day at a Phillies spring training game. Patients who attended the reunion ranged from several months old to the Center's very first fetal surgery patient, Roberto Rodriquez, Jr., who is now 16 and threw out the first pitch of the game. "The high volume of patients we see from around the world with incredibly complex, rare conditions makes all the difference in achieving favorable outcomes," continued Adzick "Our experienced team are world leaders in fetal surgery, having performed nearly 1,000 fetal surgeries and treated hundreds - and, in some cases, thousands - of patients with a given diagnosis, including over 100 families from Florida alone." The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia was founded in 1855 as the nation's first pediatric hospital. Through its long-standing commitment to providing exceptional patient care, training new generations of pediatric healthcare professionals and pioneering major research initiatives, Children's Hospital has fostered many discoveries that have benefited children worldwide. Its pediatric research program is among the largest in the country, ranking third in National Institutes of Health funding. In addition, its unique family-centered care and public service programs have brought the 516-bed hospital recognition as a leading advocate for children and adolescents. For more information, visit http://www.chop.edu. The Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is an internationally recognized leader in fetal surgery and fetal care. One of the only programs of its kind in the world, it offers a comprehensive breadth of services, including fetal therapy, to support patients from prenatal evaluation through delivery, postnatal care, and long-term follow-up. Established in 1995, the Center has welcomed more than 13,000 expectant parents and received referrals from all 50 states and more than 50 countries. Its multidisciplinary team brings decades of experience to the care and treatment of the fetus and the expectant mother. The Center has performed nearly 1000 fetal surgeries, including complex open procedures for birth defects such as spina bifida; less invasive fetoscopic or ultrasound-guided surgeries for conditions such as twin-twin transfusion syndrome; and specialized coordinated delivery approaches for babies that require surgical intervention while still on maternal-placental life support (EXIT delivery).

Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Karen's first performance outfit—a head-to-toe metallic iridescent suit—was eye-catching and all, but this studded leather jacket? Far more wearable (even if yours isn't personalized like the singer's version).

Jessie Ware
The lovely Londoner selected a retro-sweet graphic mix of stripes and checks. Loving the bra top!

Jenny Lewis of The Postal Service
In addition to fronting beloved indie rock group Rilo Kiley, Lewis once sang in The Postal Service alongside Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard. When the self-described "imaginary band" took to Coachella's main stage, the beautiful redhead chose a delicate pearl-dotted blazer perfectly in line with her feminine personal style.

Janelle Monáe
The R&B sweetheart's equestrian-inspired whites hit all the right notes. For a look that's slightly easier to pull off, try a pair of jodhpur-inspired jeans instead of the real (and dangerously clingy) deal.
jodhpur, $297,
Elly Jackson of La Roux
The coolest, most location-appropriate footwear at Coachella? Yeah, we think so.

Emily Haines of Metric
We ID'd the Canadian singer's Miu Miu shades the second she stepped onstage. Coolest eyewear ever.

Tegan and Sara
There's a lot to love about these identical twin's not-at-all-identical looks, but we find that mix of denim and dots particularly irresistible.

Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes
You'd be hard-pressed to find a pleated skirt as downright fun as the one Khan wore onstage. Swapping in a solid, slouchy white or black tee in place of the matching crop top makes the look totally wearable.

Solange Knowles
Solange Knowles made a guest appearance alongside the xx on Saturday night, where she covered Aaliyah's hit "Hot Like Fire." That gorgeous hot pink printed skirt, in our opinion, was just as hot as her surprise serenade.
tie dye midi skirt with thigh split, $46.55,
Natalie Bergman of Wild Belle
From the embellished Western-style belt to the feather earrings, this lovely-voiced lady's got Indio style down to a science. We especially love that fringed leather vest—a look not for timid types, but versatile enough when worn with your favorite skinny jeans and summery jewelry.

Kaylie Church of Guards
Church's white fit-and-flare lace dress—
a Coachella staple, if you'll recall
—looked striking against her dark hair, and allowed the musician to wear long sleeves in Indio without suffering from heatstroke.

Ioanna Gika of IO Echo
The Los Angeles-based songstress is famous for her collection of cool kimonos, which she pairs with hipster standbys like cutoffs, combat boots and slipdresses. Worn with your favorite basics, it's a warm weather-perfect way to cover up.

Palestine/Israel: Jenin camp 'horrific beyond belief'
A UN envoy has said that the devastation left by Israeli forces in the Jenin refugee camp is "horrific beyond belief".
The BBC reports that Terje Roed-Larsen, who toured the West Bank refugee camp on Thursday, said it was "morally repugnant" that Israel had not allowed rescue teams in after the fighting. Palestinian claims of an Israeli massacre in the camp have been denied, although British forensic expert Prof Derrick Pounder has said that the evidence points to large numbers of civilian dead.

No results after using it twice a week for about 6 weeks.
My skin was clear for years thanks to the acne.org regimen. I tried a new skin care product, a serum, about 2 months ago & unfortunately it clogged my pores which led to breakouts. After discountinueing use of the serum, the really bad breakouts stopped but I was still left with clogged pores & some minor breakouts. Desperate for clear skin again, I decided to try this mask. I mixed it with raw apple cider vinegar, per the directions. I've been using it twice a week for about 6 weeks & have not seen any recents. My pores are still clogged & I'm still getting breakouts.
I never experienced the pulsating the jar says the user will experience. I find this mask to be uncomfortable while on but it's not unbearable. It's very hard to remove. My face is very red for about an hour after removing it.
I had high hopes for this product after reading all the rave reviews on here & am disapointed it did not work for me. I am going to try the AcneFree sulfur mask next.
Edited to add: Don't wash this down the drain or you will be coating your pipes with mud!
2nd edit 2/19: I have been using the AcneFree sulfur mask & my skin is finally back to being clear. I saw results right away, using it every 2-3 days, can't rave about that product enough. I feel stupid for wasting so much time doing the clay mask when I saw zero results. Also can't believe I was dumb enough to wash mud down my pipes a few times a week for 6 weeks. XD
I used this mask from head to toe once a week as a whole body treatment. My enire body is enviably smooth to the touch. I always for this mask with a scrub.

I wanted to use this for a while before reviewing this and i can safely say this is the best and most transformative face mask i have ever used!! This stuff is absolutly amazing! And i cant believe how cheap it is! I used to believe the higher the cost of something the better! But with this i now believe the total opposite! Im used to using brand like Sisley, La Mer, La prairie and This is by far my best discovery for 2013!! Since using this I have had NO Break outs! It has evened out my Skin tone and redness on my skin is reduced!! I recommended this stuff to my cousin who suffers from acne and after 1 use the next morning her acne spots were majorly reduced! Not completely gone but SIGNIFICANTLY reduced!! That was just with one use too! I used to use this stuff with water which was great but a bit difficult to mix as it would get clumpy.. Ive recently started using it with apple cider vinegar and it mixes great and i can say it is more intense than using water with it.. I leave my mask on with water around an hour and with ACV about 45mins. You can honestly feel your face pulsate where your blood circulation is flowing throughout your face which has numerous benefits alone! This is the total SH*T!! HG FACE MASK RIGHT HERE!!

I had those tiny annoying headless bumps along my cheekbones caused by my N.Y.C. sunny bronzer but thanks to this clay, they're all gone! It did purge some other parts of my face, but I can see that they're disappearing faster than any breakout I've ever had! I have some pigmented acne scars on the apples of my cheeks and I did notice some very slight fading but since I've used this product for about less than a month, I'll update about its effects on acne scars later on. I can't stop raving about this to my friends and even they've jumped on this product too! I can't wait to see the progress later down the road!!

I've paid $$ for facials and nothing compares to this mask. I mix equal amount of the clay to Bragg's apple cider vinegar with a little bit of honey and a little bit of water, if needed. (2 tablespoons is enough for 2 people) I find that adding the honey makes the mask a little more soothing.
If you have sensitive skin I wouldn't leave it on for too long the first time, just to be safe. I usually leave it on for 20 minutes and after I wash it off with warm water, I put a little bit of coconut oil on face.
The mask leaves my skin soft and brightens my skin. In only a week I saw a big difference in my black heads that were on my nose (no more!) and my skin tone evened out.
I do this once a week. So worth it!

More reviews by exemplaryradiation
This is by far the best mask I own. It is inexpensive and works really well with ACV. I wouldn't recommend using it with water, it gets clumpy and weird.
After using this, my skin feels so good and all my acne is severely diminished. It feels really great when its on, and it kind of pulses. If you keep it wet, it's easier to remove and I don't notice a difference in the results.
Your face will be pink for a while after, but if you leave this mask on for more than 20 minutes, your face with be as red as a fire hydrant for several hours. Also if you leave it on too long it gets really hard to take off and painful to get off - especially if it managed to get in your eyebrows.
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
First of all I LOVE THIS STUFF! I mix it with the Bragg's apple cider vinegar and half a capsule of charcoal from the health food store. It is a very powerful mask. Very powerful. I don't have acne but I like to make sure my pores are clean and I slough off dead skin from my face. I do this mask twice a week and follow up with coconut oil. My skin looks great and I am In love with this mask. My husband loves it too!
Just a note: I have very strong skin. I would not recommend for those who are really sensitive. It may burn you too much and it is hard to get off.
Happy makeuping guys and girls!

I have been using blue clay masks since I remember myself. It has always left nice and clean feeling. But nothing major. I came across this one here and as I recently got diagnosed with acne decided to try. It had so many good reviews on MUA it just had to be done. I ordered on Amazon. So price is amazing because it will last for long time. The only thing is package could have had some film as once you open it can get messy. I mixed it with apple vinegar as I am big fan and been using that for my hair. Even my skin is very sensitive I was prepared for redness. So I did it before bed so my skin has time to calm. I mixed it in old body shop tin. 1:1 clay:AV I did one for my husband and I added a bit more AV than clay and it was smoother, more like a mouse, which is easier to apply. I suggest easiest way is to do it before shower so you can rinse face off in shower and if you got any in your hair it's easy to wash it put. As I'm trying to go more natural so after I applied rosehip oil by Trilogy and few spritzes of Love Your Skin frankincense floral hydrating spritz & aloe Vera gel for more hydration ( I keep both these in fridge) Skin felt so smooth and lovely. Following morning I woke up with few pimples. But I was prepared and treated them with tea tree oil. Overall I think it is good but not a miracle worker. I will keep using it and would suggest to my friends.

Pumpkin Pixie and Autumn Tenderness
I had fun with this Sweet Pea Stamps image by ching-chou kuik~ Pumpkin Pixie. You can find this image in rubber stamp form~ HERE and in digi form like I used today~ HERE!
I colored the image with my copics and I also did the background with my prismacolor pencils with odorless mineral spirits to blend. For the sparkle I used some Smooch Glitz in Frost. My papers are some from my stash and then I just added a flower, leaves and some pearls to finish the card.
Next up is this gorgeous digi called Autumn Tenderness by ching-chou kuik. You can find her in digi form~ HERE and in rubber form~ HERE and also on Sheet 52, Plate 247~ HERE!
I colored her with copics (for my reference, her hair used the following copics~ E30, E34, E44, E77) and prismacolor pencils with OMS. I then added touches of sparkle with Smooch Glitz in Goldrush and also with my stardust and copic glitter pens. The paper is from the Basic Grey Konnichiwa collection. A few pearls finish the card off.

A few months ago, a new restaurant opened in Redondo Beach that serves nothing but poke. We're kind of addicted. (We like the California Roll poke the best.)
A few weeks ago, Son and I went on a business trip/vacation to Europe, which was tons of fun, exhausting, and left us craving Asian food like crazy. (Check out my Instagram for lots of pictures from the trip, and keep an eye on the Fridgg blog for writeups about everywhere we went, as soon as Son has time to process some of the thousands of pictures he took!) (We totally have been binging on Thai, Chinese, and Japanese food since we've gotten back.)
A few days ago, one of the awesome people I met at Big Traveling Potluck this year blogged about ahi poke. Yummm….
And then, Saturday night, after a long day full of lots of eating, Son and I were standing in front of the fish counter in Whole Foods at closing time, trying to figure out what I should cook for the next week. "Figure out what you want," I told Son with a yawn, as I gently pushed him towards the big slabs of fish.
"Hmmm, maybe salmon…" he hemmed and hawed.
"All the salmon is sashimi grade," offered the man behind the counter, with a smile. "You could make poke…"
"Ooooh!" Son and I both perked up at the idea. "We could get a couple of pounds of salmon, and make half into poke, and cook the other half…"
So we bought the fish, and the next day, used Samantha's ahi poke recipe (substituting the salmon for the ahi tuna, of course), and made half of the salmon into poke. And then made the other half of the salmon into poke, because it was too delicious not to.
Recipe slightly adapted from Samantha of Little Ferraro Kitchen
- 1 lb sashimi-grade salmon, cut into cubes
- 3 tbsp shoyu
- 2 stalks of green onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp sea salt (optional – Son thought it was a little too salty, but I liked it with the sea salt, so add to taste)
Cooking Directions
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Enjoy!
Pumpkin Pie Wontons with Maple Whipped CreamPosted on November 7th, 2012 · 5 Comments »Other Recipes
Now that we've launched Fridgg, I'm a little more conscious of being on top of holidays before they happen (unlike how I always used to post holiday recipes a week or so after the fact!) For example, I got the Halloween sushi post up a couple of days before Halloween, and here I am with a Thanksgiving post a whole two weeks before Thanksgiving (so long as you don't count the Canadians)!

Spooky Halloween SushiPosted on October 29th, 2012 · 9 Comments »Nigiri Recipes, Sushi

Not a single one!
Obviously, that needed to change.Continue Reading
Fourth of July, Sushi-Style!Posted on July 6th, 2012 · 3 Comments »Other Recipes
Over the years, we've all seen the American flag cakes, the patriotic fruit kabobs, the everything red, white, and blue for Independence Day. Heck, even Pocky sticks have been decked out in patriotic colors!
So, considering this is a sushi blog (and completely disregarding the fact that I have hardly posted in ages, thankyouverymuch), I'd be awfully remiss if I didn't make something sushi-style for the Fourth of July.
For the red and white, I used sashimi, of course. (I made this as a chirashi – sashimi on top of a bowl of sushi rice – so there is a layer of sushi rice underneath.) The red is ahi tuna, and the white is made up of bay scallops.
For the blue, I decided I wanted to make something with blueberries. I hemmed and hawed between pickled blueberries, some sort of blue tsukemono (Japanese pickles), or this blueberry salsa. Since it was only a couple of days before the fourth, I ended up not having enough time to make pickles, and no time to go to the Japanese supermarket to search for blue tsukemono. So salsa it was.
(I used red jalapeños instead of green ones, and lemon juice instead of lime – funny story, I thought I had run out of lime juice, then found it in the very back of the fridge several hours later. Oops.)
This recipe can easily be adapted to make however much or little you would like. As written, this makes a 12″ square chirashi "bowl", which could probably feed 4 people on its own, or a whole lot of people as part of a potluck.

Uni Nigiri CubesPosted on February 23rd, 2012 · 7 Comments »Nigiri Recipes
When I first tried uni, at a little sushi restaurant in Honolulu in the summer of 2008, I was not a fan. Something about the texture, the saltiness, and how exotic it seems just put me off. For the next three years, I was convinced that I just plain didn't like uni.
In spring of 2011, I was at a fellow food blogger's house, filming some sustainable sushi videos for a friend with a couple of other friends of mine who are also food bloggers. Among the types of seafood we had to work with was some fresh golden uni.
Since this was my first time meeting Rachael and Greg, and at the time I had only met Cathy and Martin once… I sure as heck wasn't about to admit that I, a sushi blogger, didn't like uni. Especially since everyone else was raving about it so much.
So I tried the uni temarizushi that Rachael made… and they were actually pretty good. Then I ventured to try the fresh uni straight from the tray… suffice to say that since then, I've become a full-on uni lover.
Lucky for me, uni is pretty sustainable, not to mention good for you as well (and also an aphrodisiac… oh la la! ~_^)
If you want to know more about uni, why not listen to the uni episode of my Miso Hungry Podcast?
A few weeks ago, Rachael gave me a cool little kitchen toy called a Rice Cube. (Disclaimer: I got this as a gift, and Rice Cube also donated several Rice Cubes for us to give away on our podcast.) So when I bought a tray of uni for the uni episode, I wanted to find a way to use the rice cube with it.
I tried compressing the uni into a cube with the rice… but that just looked ugly (though still delicious). So instead I made a cube with the sushi rice, laid a lobe of uni over it, then sprinkled it with paprika and topped it with a sliver of green onion. I actually liked this better than normal nigiri, because not only was it ridiculously easy to make, the ratio of rice to uni was also perfect.
If you want a Rice Cube for yourself, you can buy one through their campaign to fight childhood obesity on IndieGoGo at a discount and have the proceeds go towards fighting childhood obesity. OR… you can head over to the Tako Episode of my podcast, where we're giving away three of them!

Vegan SushiPosted on December 19th, 2011 · No Comments »Maki Recipes
I love to cook for others. Like, really, really love making sushi for other people.
In a perfect world, I'd be allowed to experiment and have as much freedom coming up with new rolls as I do here on Sushi Day. But this isn't a perfect world, and not everyone will eat all the random rolls I put together (and, to be honest, not everything I attempt comes out well…). And I'm okay with that.
These days, there are a lot of things you have to take into account when making sushi for other people, like if you're going to a potluck. While my Spicy Shrimp Inari is always a crowd pleaser, you know there are always a few picky eaters: "I don't eat seafood… at all." (Hence my Man Sushi… trust me, that'll convince any meat eater that sushi's actually delicious!)
Then there are those with allergies – gluten-free? Just stay away from tempura. (And bring some wheat-free tamari soy sauce… did you know that most normal soy sauce actually has wheat products in it?) Dairy-free? Okay, no rolls with cream-cheese.
And, of course, you have those with other dietary restrictions, like vegetarians and vegans. At the most recent potluck I went to, I knew we'd have a few vegetarian/vegan attendees. So in addition to the other sushi dishes that I brought, I decided to come up with a vegetarian roll.
Obviously, I was going to use primarily vegetables in the roll. I considered using tofu, but decided against it since I didn't think there would be a quick, easy way to make tofu taste good in sushi. (I needed something that wouldn't be too time-consuming, since I was making four dishes that morning for the potluck.) I also couldn't resort to tempura-frying the veggies, since tempura isn't vegan – the batter uses egg. For the same reason, no mayonnaise is allowed either.
But it had to be a delicious, somehow interesting roll. It just wouldn't be right to make delicious rolls for my meat-eating friends, and then bring a boring, "blah" roll for my vegan friends. So I had to come up with something so good even the meat-eaters would love it.
"Asparagus… roasted. Obviously. I love roasted asparagus."
"Onions… sauteed? Nah, I want a texture contrast. How about fried? Yeah, I'll need to heat up oil to fry the Arctic Char and Cream Cheese Wontons, so I can just fry up a bunch of thinly-sliced onions before I start the wontons."
"What else… what would go well with asparagus and onions? Hm. How about carrots? Yeah, carrots would be good. But I don't want to just roast them. I'm already roasting the asparagus; another plain roasted vegetable would be boring. Oooh, what if I glaze them with a little maple syrup? That would add a nice sweetness that should round out the roll."
So how did it turn out? According to my veg(etari)an (as well as my omnivorous) friends, this fish-less, meat-less roll was a grand success. So much so, that it has definitely earned a place in my regular potluck menu. ^_^

Man SushiPosted on September 23rd, 2011 · 18 Comments »Maki Recipes
Question: What do you do when you're tasked with making sushi for a group of friends, but one of your male friends has never eaten sushi and refuses to try raw fish?
Easy: MAN SUSHI. (Just imagine I'm saying that in a deep, "manly" voice.)
But what on earth is "Man Sushi"?
Well, what sort of food does your stereotypical man love? That's an easy one: beef, and anything battered and fried. Of course.
All you have to do is put grilled beef teriyaki and tempura-fried vegetables in a sushi roll, (and throw in some spicy mayonnaise for good measure), and you'll have a roll that your man will not only try, but will still be talking about a year later.

A Valentine's Day Love Story, and Oysters with a Saffron SaucePosted on February 14th, 2011 · 11 Comments »Other Recipes
It was the very beginning of the year 2005. I was a freshman at UC Irvine – a dance major. It was a miserably cold, rainy winter in Southern California. Ants had infested my dorm room, and the boy I had been dating for the last nine months had just broken up with me, a week into the winter quarter.
I was a mess.
As any teenager is apt to feel after a breakup, I was devastated. I didn't have many friends at my new school – I've always been terribly shy around new people – and I felt awful about myself after I got dumped. Alone as I felt at the time, I started to do things that I might not have ever even considered before that winter… like try out for a ballroom dance team at the university.
I remember sitting in my dorm room, reading the Anteater Weekly – a weekly newsletter emailed to all the students, with information about club meetings and other events happening at UCI. Ordinarily, I would never consider going to any of the events listed – I was always too shy to join any clubs, or show up to anything but my normal classes on campus. But that week, right after my breakup, something caught my eye – there were going to be auditions for a ballroom team the upcoming Friday.
I had always wanted to do ballroom dancing, but in high school I had no time to do anything other than study and rehearse with my pre-professional ballet company. So, timid as I was, I decided I was going to go try out. I didn't think I would get in – after all, I didn't really have any ballroom experience, other than dancing with a Latin band the previous summer, and UCI's dance program was very competitive. But I figured it was worth a try – I was certain I would love it if I did manage to get in.
So I went – and not only did I completely rock the audition, I actually ended up spending most of the 'practice' time at the audition trying to teach the routine to other students who had no dance experience at all.
Son was in the first year of working on his Master's degree in Information and Computer Science at UCI. He hated it there. At the time, he was considering transferring to USC for his second year. But in the meantime, he had decided to take the Social Dance class to fulfill his one non-major elective that he was allowed to take, since he enjoyed latin dancing.
He hadn't intended to audition for the ballroom team. But the teacher saw that he was a good partner – something that can be hard to find – and convinced him to try out.
Son says he noticed me that very first day, that he couldn't stop watching me at the audition – somehow, out of all the girls trying out, I was the one who caught his eye. I didn't notice him… yet. I was too busy trying to help the other girls learn the very easy ballroom combination.

Maynard Smith, optimization, and evolution

Maynard Smith's defenses of adaptationism and of the value of optimization theory in evolutionary biology are both criticized. His defense does not adequately respond to the criticism of adaptationism by Gould and Lewontin. It is also argued here that natural selection cannot be interpreted as an optimization process if the objective function to be optimized is either (i) interpretable as a fitness, or (ii) correlated with the mean population fitness. This result holds even if fitnesses are frequency-independent; the problem is further exacerbated in the frequency-dependent context modeled by evolutionary game theory. However, Eshel and Feldman's new results on "long-term" evolution may provide some hope for the continuing relevance of the game-theoretic framework. These arguments also demonstrate the irrelevance of attempts by Intelligent Design creationists to use computational limits on optimization algorithms as evidence against evolutionary theory. It is pointed out that adaptation, natural selection, and optimization are not equivalent processes in the context of biological evolution.

Obama and IsraelMarch 18,2013Since the end of World War II in 1945, to one degree or another and on a far more regional scale, other conflicts have kept the globe in a constant state of political and military instability, fueling the fear that a dreaded third world war one fought with nuclear weapons may be just around the corner.
Some of these conflicts have been settled after much bloodletting. Most prominently, the fighting has ended, for the time being at least, in Korea, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and, closer to home, Northern Ireland and Cuba. Right now theres the civil war in Syria and hugely dangerous unrest in Egypt, Nigeria and other parts of Africa, not to mention the other regionwide tensions in the Middle East and even Latin America.
But since the mid-40s, theres been one constant, a conflict that periodically erupts into open warfare but that even in peace appears destined to defy any solution. That, of course, is the conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors, some of whom were displaced by the creation of Israel.
Since World War II, the United States has emerged as the worlds wealthiest, most powerful and most influential nation, a fact that has thrust Washington squarely into the middle of the seemingly intractable Israeli-Arab situation. Its not a comfortable place to be.
It is probably unrealistic to expect that President Barack Obamas visit to Israel this week might lead to a solution to such a long-standing situation, but if Obama werent to make the effort, the problems might only worsen.
And yet, writing in Sundays Washington Post, Aaron David Miller, vice president and distinguished scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center, sounded a note of optimism about the pending trip: One presidential visit wont forge a reconciliation but increasing pressures to manage the Iranian nuclear issue, the peace process and (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahus need to remain relevant in his new government just might.
So the timing is encouraging. Both sides want Iran to be prevented from developing nuclear weapons, and Netanyahus domestic political needs could encourage him to show skeptics that he and Obama can work smoothly together.
This odd couples ties are the most tenuous weve seen between the White House and Jerusalem, wrote Miller, who served as a Middle East analyst, adviser and negotiator for Republican and Democratic secretaries of state from 1980 to 2003 and therefore has a greater knowledge of the situation than most.
From the beginning, the Obama administration has prompted a batten-down-the-hatches mentality in Netanyahus circle much the same way tough anti-settlement talk from President George H.W. Bush and Secretary of State James Baker worried Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, he added.
Miller told how Netanyahu embarrassed Vice President Joe Biden by announcing a new housing project in East Jerusalem while Biden was on an official visit to Israel in 2010. (Because of Obamas visit, the Israeli government postponed action on several East Jerusalem housing projects that can only heighten tensions with Palestinians.)
Later, on a visit to Washington, Netanyahu appeared to lecture Obama and made it clear he hoped Mitt Romney would be elected president. And Obamas famous 2009 speech in Cairo, so widely applauded in the Arab world, was taken by many Israelis as a signal he would be unsympathetic to Netanyahus aggressive agenda.
This presidential trip may be saddled with more complexities than usual, but both sides must put aside their differences and pursue a shared goal, peace between Israel and its neighbors. The world is weary of this enduring threat to global stability.MORE IN CommentaryHere in the West, people routinely practice religious tolerance to the point that even agnostics...

The age of aerial personal mobility may soon be upon us judging from the ubiquity of designs like the Zero helicopter concept. The Zero helicopter is a single-seat chopper designed in the shape of a circle or zero.
The Zero helicopter concept was designed by Hector del Amo and has an intriguing look to say the least. The shape of the helicopter is unlike anything currently in the skies today, but what's truly interesting is this design's simplicity. The Zero helicopter doesn't look to be all that hard to fly. A simple, no-frills helicopter would be a great way to get people out of their cars and up in the air.
