2013 ABCA/Rawlings NJCAA Players of the Year announcedJune 12, 2013
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – In conjunction with the NJCAA and Rawlings, the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) announced the 2013 ABCA/Rawlings NJCAA Players of the Year Wednesday.
"It was really hard at first," Fagnan told the Calgary Herald, "my dad was always at the back of my mind. But then his memory, his spirit, it would help me relax. Before every game, I would look up to the sky and say 'I'm playing for you. I love you.'"
Ryan Aper's tremendous output for Lincoln Land in 2013 earned him DII Player of the Year honors. Aper led the Loggers to a 37-21 season and the No. 4 seed in the Region 24 tournament.
Putting up one of the best offensive seasons in NJCAA DII baseball history, Aper was named Region 24 Player of the Year. The sophomore ranked third in DII with a .462 batting average and drove in 55 RBIs – 10th most in DII. Leading all of NJCAA baseball with a .904 slugging percentage, Aper hit 17 doubles, ranked second in DII with 12 triples and led the division with 17 home runs.
Among DIII pitchers that started at least four games this season, Singer's 0.68 ERA was the best in the nation. The lefty led the DIII ranks with 104 strikeouts, while giving up only 18 walks in 93 innings pitched. Singer had the second best record in DIII, going 10-1 in his 11 starts.
At the NJCAA DIII Baseball World Series, Singer got the Roadrunners off to a quick start with a victory in the tournament opener. Facing Century (Minn.), Singer held opposing hitters to just one hit in seven innings while recording nine strikeouts.
After being named a first team All-American, Singer signed with Monmouth to join the Hawks entering their first season in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).
Singer is Gloucester County's third student-athlete to be named NJCAA DIII Player of the Year in the last 10 seasons.

iPad TV Commercial Shows iBooks Pricing, NYT Best Seller Button, My Documents, Smudge/Camera
While I was busy enjoying the subtler UI details, AppleInsider noticed that last night's iPad commercial debut showed what might be some of the pricing inside the new iBooks Store:
The commercial showed Sen. Edward Kennedy's "True Compass: A Memoir" for $14.99, the novel "I, Alex Cross" by James Patterson for $12.99, and "Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Journey to Change the World... One Child at a Time" by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin for $7.99.
For comparison, "True Compass" currently sells for $19.25 for the Amazon Kindle, "I, Alex Cross" costs $9.99, and "Three Cups of Tea" costs $7.19.
Whether or not that was final, or merely mocked up pricing for the commercial, remains to be seen.
TUAW also notes a New York Times button at the bottom, presumably to access a special New York Times Bestsellers section of the iBooks Store.
Lastly, 9to5Mac notes the My Documents button at the top left of of the Pages iWork touch app (good for PC users?). And -- gasp! -- another smudge that's likely still not a camera.
So, did the iPad commercial do it's job and make anyone more interested in picking up a magical, revolutionary new piece of gear on April 3?
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

iPad TV Commercial Shows iBooks Pricing, NYT Best Seller Button, My Documents, Smudge/Camera
I'm all for supporting the authors but wow, $20 for an eBook is way more than I would pay. I have the Nook and prices have stayed pretty low from what I can tell, it's rare to see a book over $10 and those that are tend to be in the $12 range. I don't think it will be immune from the Kindle and iPad price hikes, but for now it is holding steady and I like that.
Updated to include some other goodies from the commercial.
It is funny that the only part of the video that the "camera smudge" appears in is also the only one where the bezel is not 100% black. It almost looks like the purposely upped the brightness just enough.
It could be the light sensor for dealing with auto-brightness, but we'll find out in 4 days when the pre-order is up and we see the full, final specs.
I doubt Apple will announce any new hardware additions AFTER pre-orders start but BEFORE April 3rd.
I think as long as Amazon provides (and Apple allows it!!!) an iPad compatible version of their Kindle app, and as long as they maintain Kindle applications on other platforms (Win, Mac, BlackBerry, etc...) that they will be able to ride the tide which ever way it flows. Good for everybody, I say.
It definitely will not hurt to have multiple booksellers and multiple eReaders on the iDevices. Hopefully Apple doesn't show 'em the CLAMPS!
(Oh, and Stanza FTW ;-) )
I think apple is teasing us with these god damn smudges.. :(
It really doesn't persuade me, or seem to persuade anyone. It just really shows what it does. I for one, would probably pick one up. But not right now. I think second generation could make it a best-seller. Don't get me wrong.. It is an amazing(not that revolutionary.) Product! No other current tablet can do what it does. Atleast not in the U.S.
The lack of a camera is a deal-breaker. This thing is just begging for video chat / Skype, over WiFi it has zero impact on the phone network and the camera itself costs all of $15 as a component. Even the cheapest and smallest netbooks and palm books have them. There is ZERO excuse not to have it, other than the fact that Apple is holding back on features to have things to offer next year.
It is insulting, and it is completely contrary to their old way of doing things where they went for the absolute best product they could go with from the get-go and then add features. Not intentionally withhold obvious features now so they can add them later and claim to have made improvements to generate new sales. Shame on you Apple.
I am neither an Iphone hater or fan boy but I find Arti's comment "they went for the absolute best product they could go with from the get-go and then add features." startled me. Does he remember that the iPhone 2g lacked MMS, video recording, Cut & Paste, 3G radio & multi-tasking. These are all features that every other smart phone three years ago had and several of these features were available on the majority of feature phones. How can this be described as "absolute best product they could go with" with a straight face? Obviously, Apple is saving features to add as the iPad evolves. It is much less expensive to add features during the next few years if they are non-essential technology that has already been developed. Personally, I don't see any compelling reason to buy an iPad in it's current configuration and price point(s) but if good enough gaming and productivity software is written to take advantage of it's advantages over the iPhone then things may change.
Why can't they ship world wide on the third it's not fair :@
The more I know, the more I'm interested in the iPad and I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it (over here, in The Netherlands). Unfortunately no launch date has been set for our country, so I hope may or june.
Not sure if I pick a 3G-version because I've already got an iPhone and if I have to pay for another expensive internet service... no thanks.
Me encanta tu , pero cuandosabe cuando sale la nuevaversion para el iphone3g Gracias
I've tried the new updated app and so far I like it. One unfortunate thing however is that if you and your spouse both use the app on two iPhones than you have to purchase two annual traffic subscriptions. I really like the iPod controls in-app and the music fade rather than pause.
Hey every 1 i was a blackberry fan for many years n when tmo was as a result of relaese the memoir i jumped on it cuz i jus did an upgrade of my curve towards new design and was owning all kinds of problems with all the 8900 we have to say i have been in luv with this phone ever considering that under no circumstances going back to a blackberry we've mastered jus about all the standard as well as other basic characteristic of this device and now i need to discover about adding apps i jus downloaded tkfiler thingy and i wanna kno mre anyways thanxs for obtaining me

Culbreath: Ohio should rule the MACWritten by Matt 'Shaggy' Culbreath | | email@example.com
Just when the dregs of summer were starting to get to me, it was there.
Just when a vast wasteland of an empty sports schedule was staring me in the face, it was there.
Just when the thought of "My goodness, we still have 62 games of regular season baseball left" was starting to depress me, it was there.
Just when I started to feel like I was losing my mind, Mid-American Conference Football Media Day came to save me. Football: It's just around the corner.
(Don't get me wrong; I like baseball, but it gets to be too much after the All-Star Break. I'm all about cutting about 30-40 games out of the schedule. Come at me, Old Man Baseball.)
We all got together in Detroit earlier in the week to talk MAC pigskin, and boy did that feel good. What felt better was the preseason poll as filed by the media. I know: only a fool takes stock in preseason polls. But hear me out: the MAC Media picked the Toledo Rockets to win the West Division, and the Bowling Green Falcons to not only win the East, but to win the conference title. Cool, huh?
(Granted: the Rockets were picked mere points above Northern Illinois in the West, but we'll set that aside for now.)
Forgetting that these polls aren't often accurate — last year, Ohio was picked to win the East, they finished third — let's focus on what it means: respect for both programs. The Toledo Rockets are coming into this season without a for-sure starter at quarterback. With Terrance Owens gone, coach Matt Campbell is looking at a three-man race for the position, and it's honestly anyone's game. And despite losing David Fluellen and Bernard Reedy, we saw loads of talent last year from Kareem Hunt, Marc Remy, Damion Jones-Moore, Alonzo Russell, Alex Zmolik … not to mention four returning starts on the offensive line. Defensively, they lose a bit on the line, but return a lot in the secondary, which means the "all-or-nothing" defense that we've seen in the past couple of years should start to become a bit less bipolar. Quarterback, schmarterback; the media recognizes a good thing in the Toledo Rockets.
Yes, the Huskies lost quarterback Jordan Lynch as well, but they said two years ago that they wouldn't be able to replace Chandler Harnish, and his records were toppled in a heartbeat. I swear those Huskies have a pact with some dark force.
And as for looking down I-75, you have to show some respect for the defending champion Bowling Green, picked to repeat. Again, the press making that call despite a major change: Dave Clawson left the Falcons last year to take the open job at Wake Forest. Enter Dino Babers, a coach in the Chip Kelly school of wanting to run Eleventy-Billion plays a game. (That's a technical term. I swear it.) It would seem foolish to take the system that already won the conference and turn it on its ear, but Coach Babers has the team loose enough to buy into it, and quarterback Matt Johnson, who exploded onto the scene last year after getting the starter's job in Week 2, feels like they're picking up the new system nicely. Think about the arm strength and accuracy that he had, crank it up to ludicrous speed, and then tell me you aren't circling Nov. 19 on your calendar.
Accurate or no, the preseason poll shows that the MAC media has a lot of respect for these two programs — respect that has been earned. Both Toledo and Bowling Green will dictate play in the conference at the end of the season. You gotta take I-75 to get to Detroit for the MAC Championship Game, so this is one time where you can say that the road to Ford Field literally goes through Northwest Ohio.
Football returns in August. Can't wait.

Evolving tactics, local fracking, communist solar panels and fatalistic gimmickry: a Smogtown stewThursday, April 19th, 2012
* When it comes to major California solar projects, these are not your parents' environmental watchdogs anymore. From outside agitators to inside-the-system players, the green world is shifting, or shrinking. From the L.A. Times:
"April Sall gazed out at the Mojave Desert flashing past the car window and unreeled a story of frustration and backroom dealings … "We got dragged into this because the big groups were standing on the sidelines and we were watching this big conservation legacy practically go under a bulldozer," said Sall, the (Wildlands Conservancy) director. "We said, 'We can't be silent anymore.' " Similar stories can be heard across the desert Southwest. Small environmental groups are fighting utility-scale solar projects without the support of what they refer to as "Gang Green," the nation's big environmental players. Local activists accuse the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Defenders of Wildlife, the Wilderness Society and other venerable environmental groups of acquiescing to the industrialization of the desert because they believe large-scale solar power is essential to slowing climate change …"
* Hydraulic fracturing is greatly understated here in California, according to the Times:
"State regulators say existing environmental laws protect the state's drinking water but acknowledge they have little information about the scale or practice of fracking in California, the fourth-largest oil producing state in the nation. That has created mounting anxiety in communities from Culver City to Monterey, where residents are slowly discovering the practice has gone on for years, sometimes in densely populated areas. "The communities have been left on their own to figure this out," said Lark Galloway-Gilliam, executive director of Community Health Councils, a health advocacy group that sued a Texas oil company and Los Angeles County over oil extraction near Baldwin Hills. "We are looking to our regulatory agencies to protect us, and they are scratching their heads and turning a blind eye …"
The Obama Administration isn't ignoring the potential air pollution effects of fracking. It's enacted rules … that will be applied post-election in a few years. MSNBC article.
* Shot across the bow in a looming, green-energy trade war or political theater designed for domestic consumption. You decide. From the New York Times:
"In a significant decision involving one of the world's most sought-after industries, the U.S. is gearing up to impose duties on imports of Chinese solar panels after finding evidence that China's government provided illegal subsidies to its export manufacturers. In a preliminary finding released Tuesday, the Commerce Department said it would start levying duties ranging from 2.9% to 4.73% on Chinese imports of solar panels, as well as panels made in other countries that have Chinese-made solar cells …"
* In case you missed the nostaligic, KCET article about "Smog in a Can" that yours truly appeared in, read on:
" … In 1957 the "Smog in a Can" was introduced by Hollywood actor Carleton Young, best known for his line from the movie The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, "This is the West sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." Establishing the Los Angeles Smog Corporation, Young and associate Hal Tamblin set about canning smog in colorfully designed labels for mass distribution. According to the label: "Genuine Los Angeles Smog. This is the smog used by famous Hollywood stars. Contains hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, sulfer dioxide, organic oxides, aldehydes, formaldehydes. "Made in Los Angeles by Angels. To insure freshness and purity keep container tightly sealed. Beware of imitations! Accept none but the pure Los Angeles Smog. "No pollutants or irritants removed. Packed for Los Angeles Smog Corp,, Los Angeles 28, California …"
Of course, you don't a story to learn about the sociological despair bottled up in those cans. You can just read our book, Smogtown: the Lung-Burning History of Pollution in Los Angeles. What's a gimmick like packaged air pollution without the context, after all?

Left 4 Dead 2 Summary
Left 4 Dead 2 Review
Left 4 Dead 2, the greatest cooperative game on Xbox Live? It just may be. (Xbox 360)
Latest news
Valve removes censorship from Australia's Left 4 Dead 2
With the re-classification of Left 4 Dead 2 in Australia, Valve is clear to brutally murder censorship, spraying guts and red tape all over the walls.
A totally free patch is available to let Aussie gamers feel like big girls and boys, thanks to political pressure having secured an R18+ rating. Who knew gamers were older than 15?
Counter-Strike creator 'has seen Half-Life 3 artwork', also 'new Left 4 Dead'
Le Minh, former Valve developer and creator of Counter-Strike, has said he's seen concept artwork for the long-sought-after Half-Life 3, admitting it's "kind of public knowledge" Valve is working on it in secret.
He "did see something" belonging to the Half-Life universe, and will "go out on a limb" to say it's Half-Life 3. Minh also saw the "new Left 4 Dead" which "looks great" .
Turtle Rock discusses Evolve's co-op, lessons learned from Left 4 Dead
Developer Turtle Rock set the zombie genre ablaze when they introduced Left 4 Dead, a game that is unforgiving at its co-operative core. With their new sci-fi co-op Evolve they want to take it a step further.
Going off on your own in L4D meant certain doom, but there wasn't any real 'role' for the characters, explains Turtle. With Evolve they've made sure they're unique and not totally helpless.
Left 4 Dead's Turtle Rock reveal Evolve, a four-player co-op alien shooter
Turtle Rock's multiplayer co-op shooter Evolve has been revealed in the latest issue of Game Informer. It follows a similar theme as Left 4 Dead where four players band together against a common foe.
Except this time there are no infected but a rather imposing alien that evolves overtime becoming stronger and stronger. This alien is in fact a fifth player, so it's four vs. one.
Valve has "crowd-sourced supervision" of decisions, fans 'passionately rabid'
Why no Half-Life XVIII by now? Gabe Newell has commented a little on why they don't just churn out Half-Life sequels, much to the dismay of many, as they decided to tackle multiplayer games instead.
This was when there had "never been a commercial successful multiplayer game" before, yet they went for it. They also had plenty of insiders doubtful of Steam, future overlord of PC gaming.

Shoulders and knees tend to be the most commonly damaged joints, although any place that the body might possibly consider bending is fair game for grapplers.
Injury prevention -- on a very basic level -- is about ensuring that you're using your muscles, posture and (help me Jesus) your core properly; that you're relatively free of muscular imbalances; that you're capable of stabilizing and otherwise dealing with loads at weird angles; and that you're strong enough to maintain normal range of motion under acute stress.
I can give you examples, but I have a feeling that they'll just bore you. Here's one anyway:
Shoulder separations are fairly common. Prevention includes ensuring adequate strength and functionality of the rotator cuff muscles and the serratus anterior. External rotations (just like this fashionable fellow is performing) would be an example.

The exercises you've listed are all swell, but . . . It's overdoing it that usually kills people. You've got to vary both exercises and intensities to let your body recover. Basically, if it hurts, stop doing it. Coming back to the shoulders, you might already have a physical predisposition to injury, so presses may have to be subsituted out altogether if they cause any pain, while rear squats should be occasionally swapped for variations that don't put your shoulders in such an extreme range of movement (front squats, split squats, etc. are fine subs). Even the bench press is a bitch if you're sticking your elbows out like schmoes in gyms across the nation.
You also have to look at muscular imbalances. There are too many details to get into here, but a good general rule of thumb is to look at movement and balance pushing vs. pulling; raising vs. lowering the shoulder blades; and movements where the upper arm is close to the body vs. movements where it's away from the body.

Style: BJJ/boxing--
symetry, proper form and consistancy. Either hire a personal trainer to go over a routine for you or if you feel your form is good enough there are plenty of sport specific workout books out there. Knees and shoulders are the two biggest. I've had problems with both and am predisposed especially for my shoulders. One excercise that has helped immensly for preventing shoulder injury are flys or pecdeck workouts, they help strengthen the front head of the shoulders which is the weakest of the three parts of your deltoids. If you hire a trainer hire them for a couple of days tell them what specifically you want and every two or three months check in with them to tweak the regiment. You shouldn't do the same work out for more thean three to four months since the muscles will develop memory and you will plateau out.

Hello. I like these kind of threads by the way.
As pple here have pointed out, it is necessary to have good strenght and flexibility to avoid injuries. Shoulders and knees are usually the ones that pop first, but it can also be hips, ankles, neck, wrists, anything that can be bent or twisted in the human body.
Check out this post I wrote a while ago on flexibility here. In tandem, check out this other post I made last night on how to build streght to minimize the posibility of knee injuries here.
Hope it helps!Read this for flexibility and injury prevention, this, this and this for supplementation, this on grip conditioning, and this on staph. New: On strenght standards, relationships and structural balance. Shoulder problems? Read this.

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris

Children's Health
FDA: Codeine May Be Risky for Kids After Surgery
Aug. 15, 2012 -- The FDA today issued a warning about the risks of prescription pain relievers with codeine in children.
The drugs are often given to treat pain after surgery to remove the tonsils or adenoids.
The FDA codeine warning comes after three children died and one had a life-threatening reaction after taking the medicine.
Codeine is converted to morphine in the body. However, some people metabolize it so rapidly that they have higher-than-normal levels of morphine in their blood.
If those levels become too high, overdose and death can occur.
If a child is prescribed codeine-containing medicine, the FDA urges doctors to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time possible.
Parents should watch carefully for symptoms of overdose.
The symptoms include:
- Difficulty being wakened
- Excessive sleepiness
- Confusion
- Difficult or noisy breathing
If parents notice any of these, they should stop giving the codeine and get medical help right away, the FDA says.
According to the FDA, this problem of metabolizing codeine too quickly occurs in 1 to 7 of every 100 people. However, that number may rise to 28 of 100 in some ethnic groups.

An accident that tied up traffic on Highway 17 near DeBordieu July 31 was caused by an argument over soda.
According to a report filed by a Georgetown County deputy, a 43-year-old Georgetown man was driving and his 14-year-old son was in the passengers seat around 12:30 p.m.
The teen wanted a soft drink and reportedly got mad when his father passed a gas station without stopping.
The mans son grabbed the steering wheel and pulled it causing (his father) to lose control of the vehicle, the report states.
The vehicle overturned and both the father and son had to be cut out of the wreckage.
The man said this was the third time his son has caused him to be injured.
Child molested
A 5-year-old boy from Irmo was reportedly sexually assaulted by a 12-year-old boy from White Rock, S.C. while in Pawleys island July 27.
The mother of the young child said she and her son were vacationing along with others including her boyfriend and her boyfriends son, the 12-year-old.
She said her son told her the 12-year-old pulled his pants down and molested him.
The woman was told the older boy lured her son under a bed with candy which is where the assault occurred.
The boy said he told the suspect to stop but he continued with his actions.
The 12-year-old and his sister had returned home by the time deputies were notified. The investigation is continuing.
Domestic violence
A Columbia woman called 911 Aug. 3 and said she was in a closet hiding from her boyfriend.
Deputies attempted to find the address on Duncan Ave. in Pawleys Island but were unsuccessful at first.
The woman called back and said she would be outside. The deputies found her and she said she and her 42-year-old boyfriend were at the Pawleys Island Tavern when she decided she wanted to leave.
She said since she had been drinking, she called a cab. She said her boyfriend got mad and left before her taxi arrived. She said when she got to the condo, her boyfriend started yelling at her and grabbed her by both arms and pushed her into a wall.
She said he was throwing beer bottles throughout the house.
The man was arrested for domestic violence.
Drug paraphernalia
A deputy reported spotting a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of the Kangaroo station on Blackgum Road and Highway 17 the night of July 30.
As the deputy approached the car, he saw three men inside and could smell alcohol coming from the vehicle.
The driver, a 25-year-old Myrtle Beach man, admitted there was an empty beer can in the car.
When asked if he could search the vehicle, the deputy was told no by the driver. The officer informed the driver he could search the car without consent because of the smell of alcohol and because of the empty beer can.
Inside the car was the empty can and a marijuana pipe.
The man admitted he used it for smoking pot. He was issued a citation.
Bag, keys, phone theft
A man from Pittsburgh said he and his girlfriend were in the ocean at Pawleys Island Aug, 2 when someone stole their bag from the beach.
Inside the bag, along with towels, was the keys to his car and a cell phone. The couple said they talked to other beach-goers but no one saw who took the bag.
They tried calling the phone but it went straight to voicemail.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.-Four Aggies from the New Mexico State University track and field team competed at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., March 1-3, with two Aggies placing in the finals in the 400m.
Senior LaSasha Aldredge and junior Brianna Cromartie placed third and fourth overall respectively in the 400m on Sunday, March 3. Aldredge finished third overall with a time of 54.53 and Cromartie finished fourth with a time of 54.59.
Aldredge and Cromartie were the top overall performers for collegiate athletes in the 400m. Aldredge and Cromartie finished better than Leslie Cole, who ran for team U.S.A. last year.
"This is the first time since we have been here that we were able to send our athletes to compete at the USA Championship level," said head track and field coach Orin Richburg. "They went out and competed against some of the strongest runners in the country."
In the preliminary round on Saturday, March 2, Cromartie finished fifth overall with a time of 53.87 and Aldredge finished sixth with a time of 54.31. Each finished third in their respective heat, and their overall times earned them a spot in the finals the following day.
Cromartie's participation in the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships follows just one week after the Western Athletic Conference Indoor Championships where she was named WAC Athlete of the Year. At the WAC Indoor Championships, which also took place in Albuquerque, Cromartie finished as co-High Point champion with 18.5 accumulated points. Cromartie ended up placing first in the 400m, third in the 200m and helped her 4x400m relay team finish first.
Junior Alishia Perkins and sophomore Jenna Banegas also competed on behalf of NM State at the USA Indoor Championships, each participating in the preliminary round of the 60m. Perkins finished 11th with a time of 7.58 and Banegas finished right behind for 12th with a time of 7.60. Perkins and Banegas each finished fourth in their respective heat.
This is the first time in Richburg's tenure at NM State that the team sent athletes to compete at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships level. The finishes by Aldredge and Cromartie in the preliminary round that placed them in the finals were a first for NM State, and their overall finishes in the finals in the 400m are now school-record benchmarks.

School Trek - Mount Kenya & the Samburu
Kenya, School Expeditions, 14 days - from £2,395 (land only) - from €3,355 (land only) - from $3,860 (land only)
- A high-altitude summit and walking in the Samburu
- A community project at a local primary school
- Two days of camel trekking with the Samburu People
- Trek to Point Lenana on Mount Kenya
- See elephant, giraffe, zebra and other African plains game
This KE-exclusive 2-week schools itinerary combines high mountain trekking, a traditional camel safari with the Samburu people and the chance to do some much-needed project work at a remote and very basic primary school. Starting out from Nairobi, we drive northwards to the Samburu territory which lies between Mount Kenya and the Aberdares Mountains. Here, we meet the colourful morani (warriors) of the Samburu who will be our guides on a 2-day camel safari across the dry savannah plains. With no vehicles, this is the best possible way to view game - we should see elephant, zebra and giraffe and then at night we can relax beside the camp fire under the big African sky. The Samburu share many customs with the Masai and are perfectly at home in this arid region, herding cattle and more recently camels, which do well on the scrubby plains of the Laikipia Plateau. This part of Kenya is divided into a number of large ranches and reserve areas which support a great diversity of wildlife. Laikipia is the last stronghold of several endangered species, as well as the more common plains game and there is much to see here, especially alongside the permanent water of the Ewaso Ngiro River which attracts a lot of wildlife. After our camel trek, we spend 2 days on project work at primary schools in the Mukogodo region in the northern part of the Laikipia Plateau, which gives us the chance to learn a lot more about the Masai and Samburu inhabitants of this unspoiled corner of East Africa. As a finale to this action-packed trip, we transfer to Chogoria Village, which is the starting point for our climb to the 'trekkers summit' of Mount Kenya at Point Lenana (4985m). We have chosen to climb Mount Kenya by way of the Chogoria Route, which takes in some of the mountain's most stunning scenery, as we progress through several climatic zones. Starting in the jungle, the trail quickly leads into a temperate zone where elephant and buffalo can be spotted. Higher up, the route reaches the alpine zone, with many varied and interesting plants and animals to be seen. Finally, above the snow line, just below the final slopes to Point Lenana, we get fantastic views of the rocky and inaccessible summit of Mount Kenya. Given good weather, the summit views extend to distant Kilimanjaro in the south and the less distant Aberdares to the west. Descending via the Sirimon Route provides a spectacular finish to this classic traverse of Kenya's most beautiful mountain. To round off the trip in style we spend a day viewing big game at Sweetwaters Reserve. This unique school adventure provides a unique opportunity to experience the true spirit of Africa. This tried and tested KE Schools itinerary can be adjusted to better fit the needs of your group - please call and speak to a KE School Groups Coordinator or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Is this holiday for you?
This trip starts out easily, with three quite short days trekking with the Samburu on the Laikipia Plateau at elevations of between 1600 and 2000 metres. Here, we can expect it to be quite hot and we will be walking on soft sand for some of the time. Our 3 days of project work will help with acclimatisation to the heat and altitude, before setting off to climb Mount to the walkers summit of Mt Kenya at 4985m above sea level. Whilst there is considerable altitude gain involved to reach Point Lenana, our tried and tested itinerary allows plenty of time for acclimatisation. It is important to note that trekking at high altitude makes greater demands on the body than walking at low altitudes. The Mt Kenya trek takes place over 5 days and all of this is on excellent trails. No technical climbing is required to reach Point Lenana but on the final approach to this rocky summit we do have to negotiate sections of scree and possibly snow. With the exception of the summit day where we will be walking for around 8 hours, we will walk for around 5 to 6 hours each day. On most afternoons there will the opportunity to rest and relax.

Steve Jobs' 2007 iPhone prank still gets local Starbucks orders for 4,000 lattes
Any true Apple fan will remember when Steve Jobs got up on stage and announced the first iPhone. You may also remember that one of his first calls was a prank call to a Starbucks location in California. He jokingly asked for 4,000 lattes to go and quickly said he was kidding and hung up. As it happens, this on-stage prank still spurs phones calls for the same order to that same Starbucks location. Fast Company reports:
Kimiko Barbour, the store's manager, realized the reason for the recurring prank calls only after Fast Company made inquiries for this story. "They happened randomly. It's funny because I didn't even know that this existed until [you called]," she says. "Another manager was like, 'Hey, have you seen the video?' And I was like, 'What video?' She emailed it to me, and I showed Hannah. Then it all connected.
They spent some time tracking down the barista at the Starbucks location that actually took the call from Jobs. It turns out her name is Hannah and she had been working at that location for over half a decade. It wasn't until Fast Company started inquiring that they figured out what that call was all about and why they still received calls for thousands of lattes.
Hannah, the barista who answered the call, says if she would have known it was Jobs she would have asked him if he would come in to her store so she could make him the perfect drink.

Sensationalism at its best. "Hannah, who can create the perfect cup of coffee in less than a twentieth of an hour....."
What really shocks me is that it took this long for someone to figure out who she was and for the store's manager to figure out why this was happening. With so many journalists and bloggers, and so many covering Apple, it shocks me but no one looked into this earlier.

The X Factor
Paige Thomas Dedicates Thanksgiving X Factor Song to Adoptive Mom Colleen
Either someone is chopping onions in here or it was one heck of an emotional night of X-Factor performances! Paige Thomas, who performed "Everytime" by Britney Spears, dedicated the song to her adoptive mother Colleen, who took her in as her own daughter when Paige was 14.
Paige's birth mother was killed by a drunk driver on Christmas Eve when Paige was just six years old. Until she met Colleen, Paige lived in foster homes. "I just remember feeling really lost. I never felt a sense of belonging anywhere." Colleen, whose daughter Shawna was Paige's BFF, couldn't stand the idea of a child without a mother and took her in.
And now she's an amazing grandmother to Paige's daughter, Jade. "When Paige told me she was pregnant, it was tough. But it did work out. Jade's here and we love her very much, and Paige is a great mother."
And it sounds like she learned from the best. Paige was moved to tears as she talked about her relationship with Colleen, telling her, "I truly believe my mother sent you to be my guardian angel and guide me through life." Um, excuse us a minute. There's an awful lot of dust in the room all of a sudden.

Practicing (not just) Catholic
The choices in line for the "cafeteria Catholic" have expanded in recent years. Instead of simply choosing the pieces of Catholicism that they like, Catholics can--and do, according to a recent study--choose what they like from any number of faith traditions.
A Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life poll found that six in 10 Americans blend practices and beliefs from a variety of traditions, including New Age spirituality.

Lampard goal was disallowed, Almost 2-3 Meter in line and still not given England gave its best but goal being disallowed killed there effort what are your views?
England were unlucky. Or at least that is what I think. There were plenty of decisions against England by the officials in the game today. But the disallowed Lampard goal was a terrible decision. I can not see those officials getting another game at this World Cup, can you?
they were unlucky cos they were effortless. Good teams aren't unlucky constantly like england have been in the last 3 tourneys. They would've lost anyways even with that decision going in their favour.
but against germany I actually felt the three lions were playing some good football at two goals down. had the referee done the right thing and allowed the 2-2 goal, I believe England could have won it. They would have had a confident boost!!
yes thats what i wanted to listen, I even felt England was massive class but they underperformed in other matches that is the reason form was good as it should be
on the left a bunch of glorified individuals are shown while there is a proper team on the rightalthough this team will be heading back home too tomorrow

great picture there LbR. England have some things to learn from Germany, but please Capello. Please let us start playing attacking free flowing football. And not be as girlie as Germany!

At University President Lee Bollinger's fireside chat, I tried to explain the contradiction in the way we talk about affirmative action. Belief in affirmative action stems from the conviction that Black and Brown people are counted for claims of diversity and progress. At the same time, though, our traumas and needs are systematically ignored. While Columbia is heralded as a symbol of progress and diversity in higher education, many students of color are forced to get through depression after depression at this university. We must ask ourselves why this is. What personal trauma do we bring to the University when coming here? What trauma is inherited by a history of violence against our communities of color?
I want to make it clear that I am not talking about all students of color. I know many students of color who are content here—particularly those students who have had access to predominantly white private schools or well-off public schools near rich, predominantly white neighborhoods. In a similar vein, many upper-class international students of color cannot relate to the struggles that many poor people of color go through in this country. This could mean growing up in a heavily policed neighborhood with racist practices targeting black and Latino youth or going to an overcrowded school that does not have the resources to meet the needs of its students.
However, the stories of students for whom affirmative action was created are often quite different.
I was the first one in my high school in Southern California—which was composed predominantly of students of color—to get into Columbia. I applied early decision without having left the West Coast, hoping that I could feel free in New York City as a gay person and escape the slurs and personal trauma of being one of five out gay kids in a school of over 3,000. My idea of being gay—and the misconception that in order to be queer I had to sever myself from my family and community—came from a completely white-washed idea of the LGBT community, one influenced by the mainstream: Lady Gaga, Dan Savage, and a misconstrued historicization of the Stonewall Riot that ignores the crucial role of transwomen of color such as Sylvia Rivera.
As my first full week in New York came to an end, I realized that the freedom of gayness I looked for when I left California was unrealistic. I remember calling my friend back home, sobbing in the dark on the floor of my Hartley single filled with sorrow and deep regret that I left my friends and family 3,000 miles away. The extreme culture shock I felt didn't leave until my sophomore year, after I had already discussed the possibility of dropping out or transferring to a school in California with my adviser and Counseling and Psychological Services therapists. My depression became so intense that I stopped being able to believe that I would feel anything other than the giant void growing in me.
The main reasons I didn't drop out or transfer was that, after living in Q House my sophomore year and helping to rebuild Proud Colors(our organization for queer people of color), my depression temporarily calmed down, and I was able to continue my existence on this campus.
Many of my friends have had similar experiences. Since my time here, I've known more than six students of color, most of them queer, that have had to take medical leaves for depressionand many more, myself included, who battle with on-and-off depression and anxiety. The overwhelming amount of people of color, especially queer people of color, who are currently going through or getting over depression and anxiety on this campus goes to show that this is a systemic issue that should not be seen as a problem that an individual has to face alone.
How can we piece together the causes of this systematic depression of students of color? We have to challenge history to understand these complex issues because part of the ongoing mental and physical colonization of people of color is denying us our history and making our stories and pain invisible or irrelevant.
Do the Core and the University acknowledge our existence and our resistance enough, or at all? How are we to survive these legacies of trauma while ignoring the history of genocide and enslavement on this continent, the history of this campus, and the pain we inherit as people of color.
We must address the legacies of trauma that students of color carry with us before we can begin to heal our communities on this campus.
The author is a Columbia College senior majoring in Latino studies. He is the gender and sexuality chair of Chicano Caucus and the co-chair of Queer Awareness Month.
To respond to this op-ed, or to submit an op-ed, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
First off, you frame the piece making the main issue students of color, although from your argument, it seems like the problems you and your friends face stem from income disparity and questions of sexual identity. From your narrative, your depression came from being far away from home, and from your sexual orientation. I can see where being a student of color could have created some conflict, but you don't explain how being a student of color at Columbia specifically causes alienation or "a systematic depression." Also, you still don't propose what the university should do to help students of color, which was the entire response by both Bollinger and Valentini. Saying things like the university must "acknowledge" or "address" or "challenge" these issues doesn't really help, although it sounds nice in theory. The first half of the column was interesting, but the second half should've been spent addressing real ways that the university can make a difference. It seems that for you, it meant joining communities where you found support.
As if sexual identity and income disparity don't intersect with our experiences as people of color? Someone who is low income and queer does not experience life in the same way as someone who is low income, queer, AND yes, a person of color.
"it seems like the problem" yo, here's the thing though. You don't have to conjecture about this. Here's someone telling you very plainly and very clearly what the problem IS. I would ask you, and everyone else who thumbed up your comment, why your first instinct is to discredit the words of this article rather than listening.
I would ask yourself to question why your first reaction is to discredit the words of this article rather than to shut up and listen. For once.
As for the criticism that Romo doesn't provide real solutions, that a) doesn't discredit his criticisms of this institution and b) is not his job. People are paid a ridiculous amount of money to run this school. If a segment of the population is systemically experiencing depression and anxiety, then those who I speak of are not going their job.
Did you really just write him off as crazy? I think you missed the point. Columbia is known for being a progressive and accepting place. Many students here find that the university falls short of its reputation. Perhaps he would have encountered similar problems at another university. These are all not Columbia specific issues. That doesn't mean Columbia shouldn't address its own structural problems that have resulted in so much hurt and hardship for queer people of color and other groups.
He seems to suffer from the psychiatric condition called major depression. This is a very serious medical problem. Please do not use the word "crazy".
I am not "writing him off". I am just explaining that if indeed he has major depressive illness, then he will have the problem at any school he goes to.
Major depression is a very serious psychiatric condition. It is the cause of many deaths. The author seems to be saying that he has suffered numerous bouts of major depression. My point is that he has an illness. The illness has nothing to do with Columbia. He would have had this illness at any college he went to.
This is an incredibly lazy and problematic way of thinking. I said in my comment that I'm sure people of color face conflict, and I also completely agree that there is intersectionality between various identities such as race, sexual orientation, and income. This doesn't excuse the op-ed from being poorly written, because it's his job, as the author of the op-ed making this argument, to actually explain the argument. He explains perfectly adequately where his depression stemmed from income disparity and his sexual orientation. Yet, he didn't include where as a student of color, he faced racism or oppression (and again, not doubting that he did). This isn't an attack on his claim, it's an attack on his ability to write a well-argued opinion piece. He told me very plainly and very clearly WHAT the problem is, but not WHY the problem exists, and not HOW to deal with the problem, which frankly is his job, and should be the talked about more clearly in the article. For those who can change the system to better help people like Romo, they need to understand what is wrong with the system, and what should be changed.
I'm not trying to discredit his words, and frankly, it's absurd that you would tell me to shut up and listen, because what I'm trying to do is listen and understand even more. I don't understand why you would attack me for asking completely legitimate questions, and I think it's very representative of the problems with the discourse on identity that happen at Columbia. Just because you write a piece about your experience as a person of color, or a queer person, or a low-income person, does not make you impervious to criticism and dialogue.
I don't get the point of this article. Obviously going across the country wasn't going to solve ignorance. All of us feel home sick at one time or another. Of course poverty is a huge issue, as well as racism, and homophobia. But you don't provide any examples of what the university should be doing more of, meanwhile, you provide great examples of what it is already doing- fostering community with organizations like QHouse which just got a brownstone, and providing psychological services for all students. Look around you, those "rich white kids" are usually going through depression and alienation of their own, albeit under different circumstances. This Us vs Them mentality simply perpetuates the divide.
While I'm not a student at Columbia, I am an acquaintance of the author and I have been following these articles pertaining to what your University President had said at his "Fireside Chat." Firstly, I am a mixed-race, gay person, though most cannot discern my multi-ethnic heritage, so I am perceived to be white--a word that has taken on it's own connotation over the years in arguments such as these. I grew up in an upper-middle class neighborhood in Southern California, and moved to New York for college--much like the author. I too have had bouts with depression and anxiety that stem from many different sources, from my homosexuality (sexual and social aspects thereof) to my financial wellbeing as a young adult (just wait for those student loans--you thought being IN college was difficult), and I have fought many a fight for the Latino and LGBT communities. To group all "people of color" (I understand the author means everyone who is not--for lack of a better word--WASPy--White Anglo-Saxon Protestant for those of you kids who don't know, though you should know, you go to Columbia) together and say that their depression stems from their being a person of color or that another group of people is being treated for their struggle with depression while the other group is ignored and left to suffer is a little unfair without using concrete evidence of this. Is it a problem that kids are suffering from depression at school and is it the administrations responsibility to address and to try and eliminate the situation? Yes. Is it fair to make gay people and non-white people feel or appear to be any more disenfranchised than they already are? No. By not proposing solutions to the problems that afflict us we only sit on the sidelines crying that our team is losing and screaming at the coach to fix the problem as opposed to getting our asses on the field and making plays. I think (again, I THINK) the issue at hand has a lot more to do with support from within the student body than from the administration. It is our duty as human beings on this planet to empower each other, especially those who are less fortunate. Someone with a chemical imbalance who has to fight depression on a daily basis needs the support of his or her peers, and programs within the school (guidance counselors, school psychologists, etc.) should be provided as a free resource for all students. The creation of Q House is a great step in the right direction for the support of LGBT students at Columbia, and more resources and organizations like it should probably be started (and funded by the school) to create a more welcoming and empowering environment for those who have spent the better part of their life being targets of hate or ambivalence because of their ethnicity or sexuality. If one hasn't experienced it personally, believe me, it is impossible to understand the feeling. Though I feel like using a term like "a white-washed idea of the LGBT community" is hurtful and a little untrue. Granted, yes the media has unfortunately in recent years been overwhelmed by people who exploit the gay community for their own gain, even going as far as to falsely claim things like bisexuality and grandstanding themselves as proponents of marriage equality for exposure (Lady Gaga), and by insensitive left-wing nut jobs like Dan Savage who give a very fantastical approach to gay issues like "it gets better" (which often times it does not) or that staying in the closet hurts our community; and it's instances like these where we need to have more people with real solutions to the problems they see and not just an acute ability to see the problems that plague us. I don't agree with the sentiment that the Stonewall Riots (or my favorite adaptation--Stonewall Rebellion--no le pegue la tranny--my Joe Arroyo fans should appreciate that) has been somehow misconstrued as an all white riot/demonstration--it is very classically told (though unfortunately never proven, due to lack of coverage of the situation) that Marsha P. Johnson, a black transvestite started the fight against the officers of the 6th precinct. Though, I think Gerardo Romo is a great role-model for those currently enrolled (and some in administration) in higher-education who haven't experienced things like discrimination or depression that stems from ethnic or sexual oppression--people like Mr. Romo are very important in our world because they see the issues that affect us deeply and have a passion to fix them, but understand this: these problems don't stop at your campus's gates--they never will unless people heed the warning signs that Mr. Romo is trying to bring to light. The only thing I would ask that he be careful about is making it SOLEY a plight of the non-white LGBT community--everybody suffers, and everybody should be helped, no exceptions: that's equality.
Gerardo is very brave to share his personal experiences and outline a very real and painful problem at Columbia. Although the "Alma Mater got me fucked up" opinion is not all that original--it's basically the basis of the entire Spectator opinion page.
It seems to me that the words "race," "queer," and "systematic" really polarize this campus. They have broadly characterized student actions since well before last April's hate crime incident and seem to drown out words like "class," "inequality," and "opportunity." While I am thankful that Gerardo has made such a powerful and well-considered statement, as a "student of color" from Oakland, California I am so sick of the self-righteous language of critique that gives subaltern people a monopoly on injustice. By defining "systematic" injustices in terms of sexual and "racial" identities we undermine the grievances of other members of our community. That is unethical.
So we should absolutely listen to Gerardo--he has some very important things to say. However, by inserting his voice into the Opinion page, he has put his argument and the assumptions it rests upon onto the table for debate.
He doesn't say that if someone disagrees it's *because* they have class privilege/etc, he says that if someone disagrees it *tends to be* (aka it is "predominantly") for that reason. So let's say any racism/homophobia/classism/____-ism that you've experienced hasn't contributed to your sense of worthlessness, or you have a great support system, or even that you haven't experienced any at all. That's wonderful! That's ideal. All he's saying is that that isn't typically the case for a significant portion of students who are at the crossroads of multiple "minority" identities. Your experience otherwise does not contradict that.
This is absolutely fantastic and I applaud you for your deep transparency, authenticity and openness to speaking about the minority experience. Thank you for reminding us that just ignoring the pain that makes up our racial identity is not benefitting anybody, but rather we should address this pain and used it as an opportunity to confront our past and see how it shapes our present. Please stay strong as Columbia is only 4 years, and remember that thankfully, the rest of the world does NOT operate at "Columbia speed" rather there ARE people who want to love, care, embrace and understand. This is not the end. Your journey truly is an inspiration.
When I was in my teens, I was blissfully ignorant about how others thought of me. When I was in my twenties, I became aware of how others thought of me, and it made me angry and vengeful. When I was in my thirties, my awareness remained and I had figured out how to get back at them. When I was in my forties, my awareness remained but I had learned to dismiss their points of view. When I was in my fifties, I came to realize that nobody cared how I thought, felt, or acted - not really. People are too busy minding their own business. And now, after I have moved on in years, I myself do not care about how I think or feel, because I am just not that affected by these things any more. In any case, when I was in my teens and twenties at Columbia, those hormone driven whirlwinds were secondary to my mission in life: to learn, to participate, to engage, and to graduate. All the mollycoddling that Columbia gives to her students of today blow my mind. It produces depressed and self-absorbed youngsters such as the one who wrote this article. Young man (or young woman, or I suppose I should say young perdaughtress), the administrators at Columbia are just punching their tickets with you, as they do with everybody else. The cure for your depression lies within yourself. If you want their real attention, play football for Columbia and assault other students. Then you become their prince or princess.
