MS Dynamics CRM 3.0
<xs:schema xmlns:xs1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" ...> ... </xs:schema> <xs:schema xmlns:xs2="http://www.example.com" ...> ... </xs:schema>
I'm wanting to take these two separate schemas and merge them into one, so the result would be:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs1="..." xmlns:xs2="..." ...> ... ... </xs:schema>
So my question is, how can I pull out the namespace definitions from each of the separate schemas? I can do "$root attributes" but what it returns doesn't have all the information I want.
Do I even need to do this step or is there a tdom command I'm missing that can merge these two schemas into one in one fell swoop?
I'm tempted just to use string commands to pull that stuff out, but surely there must be a way to take advantage of tdom to do the work.
-- Bryan Oakley http://www.tclscripting.com
The following seems to provide me with exactly the data I need:
set doc [dom parse $schema] set root [$doc documentElement] array set attrs [lindex [$root asList] 1]
I get something that looks like this:
attrs(xmlns:xs1) = http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema attrs(xmlns:xs2) = http://www.example.com
So I think I can solve my problem with that (that, and a modicum of bulletproofing...). Still, I'm interested to know if there are other ways to do this.

The Belgian minister of energy has tried to give the Commission de Regulation de l'Electricite et du Gaz the authority to influence price. Suppliers would have to submit an application to change tariffs, which the regulator would either approve or refuse. Yet with comparable levels of GDP and energy tariffs to its European neighbors does Belgium's energy market really need such radical measures?
As part of its long-term environmental vision, P&G has announced that its manufacturing facility in Auburn, Maine, is the company's ninth global site to achieve zero-waste-to-landfill status to date. However, P&G's move towards becoming a zero-waste company is unlikely to resonate among consumers, given the equally ambitious environmental targets frequently set by rival FMCG companies.
EDF and Centrica have finally struck a deal concluding the long running sale of British Energy. After months of negotiations it will come as a relief to both parties, but while EDF walks away with GBP2.3 billion and a 51% stake in SPE, the terms that Centrica secured will reap more immediate gains for the former UK incumbent.
The divesture of certain assets by GDF and Suez to appease European Commission conditions for their planned merger is an excellent opportunity for other energy players to augment their gas and electricity portfolios in some of western Europe's key energy markets.
Having released the results of its investigation into Electrabel's new gas and electricity price changes, Belgian electricity and gas regulator the CREG has made the surprising recommendation that temporary price caps should be considered. The CREG has also requested jurisdictional competence to deal with retail price matters (currently, it only has authority over transportation and distribution).
France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg have signed an agreement to integrate their electricity transmission systems. This deal is being hailed by some as the first step towards a fully integrated European wholesale market. However, the lack of an independent, comprehensive regulator may slow movement towards this goal, and towards facilitating cross-border trade.
Leading Russian oil producer Lukoil has entered into talks with ConocoPhillips to acquire some 380 filling stations under the Jet brand. This move illustrates the fact that, while the US giant begins a huge divesture program to fund upstream investments, Lukoil is heading downstream with a vengeance.
Europe's largest power exporter, France, has agreed to wholesale power market coupling with its lowland neighbors, Belgium and the Netherlands. Multinational day-ahead trading is scheduled to commence at Belpex later in November. While this represents a forward step towards a single European energy market, it alone will not redress underlying market inefficiencies.
Lukoil is keen to continue its charge across the European forecourt retailing sector as displayed by its interest in the soon-to-be-auctioned portfolio of ChevronTexaco forecourt retailing sites in the Benelux countries. With upstream infrastructure already in place, the capture of such a valuable retail network will ensure Lukoil achieves its goal of establishing its brand as a major player.
After a long period of inaction by Ofgem over the issue of wholesale price spikes, recent signals have emerged pointing to a possible new, and more vociferous, desire by the regulator to address the issue. However it remains to be seen if this rhetoric will translate into Ofgem finally taking the required assertive course of action.

American composer/conductor Justin Freer was born and raised in Huntington Beach, CA, and has established himself as one of the West Coast's most exciting musical voices. Freer began his formal studies on trumpet, playing in wind ensembles, marching bands and community orchestras. He quickly turned to piano and composition and composed his first work for wind ensemble at age eleven. Continuing trumpet performance while studying piano and composition, Freer saw multiple wind ensemble, choral and big band performances of his music while still a teenager and gave his public conducting debut at age sixteen.
Continually composing for various different mediums, he has written music for world-renowned trumpeters Doc Severinson and Jens Lindemann and continues to be in demand as a composer and conductor for everything from orchestral literature to chamber music at some of the most well known concert halls, music clinics and conventions in the world. Major League Soccer called upon Freer to compose and conduct music for the 2011 and 2012 Major League Soccer Championship Cups in Los Angeles, CA. He has served as composer for several independent films including Jahim Jones' Generation Never and has written motion picture advertising music for some of 20th Century Fox Studios' biggest advertising campaigns including Avatar, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Dragonball Evolution and Aliens in the Attic. Freer's upcoming conducting engagements include appearances with the orchestras of London, Sydney, Munich, Vienna, Dublin, Brisbane, Hong Kong and Lucerne in performances of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
In recent seasons his works have been performed by the Musashino Academia Musicae Wind Ensemble, Texas All-State Symphonic Band, the Grand Symphonic Winds and the wind bands of the University of North Texas, Purdue University, Kansas State University, University of North Dakota, University of Illinois, Indiana University, UCLA, St. Cloud State University, and Cal State University, Los Angeles, among many others. Recent premieres include Rio's Convergence, commissioned for the Texas All-State Symphonic Band, Liberty Fallen, commissioned by the St. Cloud State University Wind Ensemble in conjunction with the American Composers Forum, which premiered to great critical success at Benson Great Hall, Minnesota, and an upcoming work to celebrate the life of Texas legend Eddie Galvan, to be premiered by the Texas All-State Symphonic Band in 2014. His music has also appeared as a subject of discussion at the Oxford Round Table of Scholars and has been performed throughout the world from New York City's Carnegie Hall to Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall.
Freer has been recognized with numerous grants and awards from organizations including ASCAP, BMI, the Society of Composers and Lyricists and the Henry Mancini Estate. His list of composer/conductor residency engagements includes collaborations with the wind ensembles, orchestras and choirs of the Aries Composers Festival, Henry Mancini Institute, University of North Texas, UCLA, Texas A&M, University of Nebraska, Kansas State University, Purdue University, the University of Illinois, St. Cloud State University, Cal State University, Los Angeles and others.
Mr. Freer earned both his B.A. and M.A. degrees in Music Composition from UCLA, where his principal composition teachers included Paul Chihara and Ian Krouse. In addition, he was mentored by legendary composer/conductor Jerry Goldsmith.

We all agree that Mrs. O has amazing budget-friendly style and, well, Govenor Palin rocks awesome shoes. Now Target, who knows a moneymaker when they see it, are selling donkey (for Democrats) and elephant (for Republicans) patterned rainboots for $19.99. This is the perfect accessory (and a good price for rain boots) for those who plan to spend the next month pounding the pavement for their favorite candidate/party.
P.S. I will give $20 to first person to send me a photo of either Hillary Clinton or Laura Bush rockin' a pair of their party's rain boots—$50 if you can find a photo of Cindy McCain wearing a pair.
(Please note any personal, nasty comments about either party will be deleted immediately. We're talking about rain boots folks.)

Easily the most impressive part about the appearance of this strain was its trichome coverage and harvest timing — the sample was covered in a thick carpet of trichomes that were mainly cloudy, with maybe 10% ambered… pretty perfect. Beyond that, it was a pleasing and fairly vibrant collection of greens with orange pistils and was structured like many well-grown Sativas; light, but not wispy. No real flaws to be found here, great job by the grow team.
While one reviewer got a reasonably strong and very enjoyable taste from this strain, the majority of the crew struggled to get a read on it and weren't that impressed by what they did get. A fleeting, perfume-like sweetness was all the majority reported, but the one who liked it picked up on a floral-leaning citrus sweetness that faded out after about 2 hits, followed by a fuel-tinged aftertaste. A possible reason for the lack of flavor is the flush, as the final ash was a bit murky and it made our reviewers sneeze/cough a couple of times. This strain was grown in 18-gallon soil containers though, so that's understandably difficult to flush thoroughly…
(We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Strong ocular attention, body pain relief, boost of energy to start, and mood elevation.
The Health Depot has a few in-house crosses available, but we think this is the pick of the litter — it's a very thoughtful cross that really combined the best of the two parents into a complete hybrid package. They coordinated the harvest timing with Full Spectrum Laboratories to calculate the maximum potency, and it seems to have paid off with the near-overwhelming experience that started this one off. A wonderful hybrid in the truest sense, it started off strongly Sativa but rounded out to a relaxing ride that held strong through 2 hours. This one is recommended for more experienced patients, as the initial effects may be too strong for many… a very small dosage will be sufficient for most.

2 reviews for Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom - 5 Sterne Superior
- 1 review is hidden: show all reviews
The name is absolutely misleading: The hotel is located nowhere near Stephansdom. If you are lucky, your room will have a view on Saint Stephans cathedral. This Sofitel is separated by the Donau river from downtown Vienna. When walking there, you come by some of the most shady places of the city. The hotel itself is rather new and quite nice but absolutely overpriced.

Mali: Life under Al Qaeda

January 29, 2013
The amputation of Suleiman Traore was agonizingly slow, bloody and painful.
The 25-year-old truck driver was living in northern Mali when, in March, a coalition of tribal Tuareg separatists and Islamic militants overran the town of Gao.
A month later, Traore was at home in the afternoon playing with his 3-year-old daughter as his wife prepared soup for dinner, when two pick up trucks packed with masked, armed militants flying black flags pulled up outside.

Courage required to deal with fiscal crisis responsibly
At the Feb. 14 Ventura Unified School District Board of Education meeting, trustees took a strong position in opposition to the governor's proposed budget cuts on schools in a resolution.
Simply put, for VUSD, the midyear cuts alone are almost $1 million. For the 2008-09 school year, if enacted, there will be an additional loss of more than $7 million. This will have a dramatic impact on our schools. Our children's future is at stake.
The governor's proposed budget reductions of $4.8 billion would be disastrous for California public schools and are fundamentally inconsistent with the state's goal of improving student achievement. Almost 20 years ago, voters passed Proposition 98 to ensure that students and schools would receive minimum funding.
Proposals to suspend Proposition 98 conflict with the will of the voters and jeopardize the minimum education funding levels Proposition 98 provides for students and schools.
The actions outlined below are individual examples of what it would take in order to realize a $4.4 billion cut to the state's public schools.
What cuts mean
— Shutting down every school across the state for nearly one month.
— Laying off more than 107,000 teachers.
— Increasing class sizes statewide by as much as 35 percent.
— Reducing per-student spending by more than $800.
— Laying off more than 137,000 bus drivers, janitors, food-service workers, maintenance workers, nurses and other education-support professionals.
— Cutting more than $24,000 per classroom.
— Cutting $7.76 million per school district (assuming district enrollment of 10,000).
— Eliminating all music, art and career technical education programs statewide.
It is incumbent upon everyone who supports public education to reject, without equivocation, the governor's notion. It is also imperative that educators begin to dispel the myth that California schools are failing.
For example:
— California currently has the highest academic standards in the nation. This is a simple fact. Our No Child Left Behind standards are among the highest in the nation.
— California currently finds itself in the bottom five in the nation with respect to per-pupil funding. Again, this is not an issue at debate; it is an established fact. The governor's proposal will no doubt put us at the very near bottom in state ranking.
— California students and schools have been making significant progress. Even though we have one of the most diverse populations of students in the nation, reading scores are up 25 percent and math scores have increased 17 percent over the past four years. This progress cannot continue with the proposed budget cuts to our schools.
— Public schools have had imposed on them the most byzantine, difficult-to-understand budget process in either the public or private sector. School governing boards have very little at their disposal in the way of discretionary funds. In nearly every instance, the money that flows to local schools from the state comes with strings attached. And in many of those instances, those funds are tied up in programs that have no demonstrable link to student achievement. Yet, when those programs fail to perform as anticipated, the schools get blamed.
Add all of this together, and I have to ask: How bad do things have to get in order for our state's leaders to reach the conclusion that should be self-evident? We need to change the tenor of the debate to have the right conversation about schools — specifically, about what kind of schools we need in order for our students to achieve those high standards, and what it will cost to create those schools.
Please don't ask me what cuts the education community would suggest to help the governor balance this budget. We are not qualified to make judgments along the likes of "how many highway patrolmen must be taken off of the streets in order to pay for better teacher salaries." There are leaders in Sacramento who were elected to make those decisions. Now, if they would like to abdicate their responsibility and transfer some revenue-raising authority to the local level, we are certainly open to that conversation.
Fight for children's future
But until those leaders recognize that revenues must be on the table, then why should we even engage in the discussion? It's time for them to put all their cards on the table. It is time to fight for our children's future. If we do not, who will?
We need a well-educated work force. Property value is tied to well-performing schools. California was once viewed as the Promised Land at the edge of the new frontier. We have slipped so far behind other states in funding, we should be embarrassed.
I happen to want more, as do the students, teachers, administrators and staff of the schools for which I have responsibility.
I implore our state leaders to develop a profile in courage that will allow them to address the fiscal crisis in a responsible, equitable fashion.
— John B. Walker is president of the Ventura Unified School District Board of Education.

Four-Links – buried treasure in Hollywood, Bell's Bi-Car, Durant on fortune-making, Phantom Corsair
* It's rather unbelievable where you can find old tin. Take, for instance, Bumpstick's story over on the H.A.M.B. of finding a 1940 Ford buried in a ravine behind the Hollywood sign. What's next, finding a forgotten old car at the top of the Empire State Building?
* Bell Vehicles said they were serious about entering production with their Bi-Car, a semi-enclosed sit-down motorcycle with retractable landing gear. Anybody know whether they actually did? (via)
* In the March 1930 issue of Modern Mechanics, Billy Durant, founder of GM, discussed his ideas for fortune-making. All well and good – he did build up GM twice, making considerable fortunes along the way – but maybe he ought to have focused more on how to not lose a fortune than on how to make a fortune?
* Over at Dean's Garage, Michael Lamm has an article on the Phantom Corsair, for those of you who can't get enough of Rust Heinz's masterpiece. Longtime blog and SIA readers will recall that Lamm also wrote up the driveReport on the Phantom Corsair for SIA #17.
* Finally, while we don't cruise the Tiny House Blog for much material here, they recently ran an interesting article on one man's homebuilt trailer and his reasons for building it.

Possibilities in Parallel
Seeking the Multiverse
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Possibilities in Parallel: Seeking the Multiverse by the Editors of Scientific American
Parallel universes are a staple of science fiction, and it's no wonder. They allow us to explore the question, "what if?" in a way that lets us step completely outside of the world we know, rather than question how that world might have turned out differently. For cosmologists, the question isn't "what if the South won the Civil War?" but "what if the constants that make up the fundamental building blocks of physics were different?" Physicists argue that any slight change to the laws of physics would mean a disruption in the evolution of the universe, and thus our existence. Take gravity, for example: too strong and stars would burn through their fuel far more quickly. If the universe expanded too fast, matter would spread out too thin for galaxies to form. The list of examples goes on – to the point where the laws of physics might seem finely tuned to make our existence possible. Short of a supernatural or divine explanation, one possibility is that our universe isn't the only one. That's the idea explored in this eBook, Possibilities in Parallel: Seeking the Multiverse. In Section 1, we explore why scientists think other universes could exist. After that, we get a look at the implications. Is it possible to have life in a universe with different physical laws? It would seem so. In "Cracking Open a Window," George Musser discusses the possibility that our universe has more than three spatial dimensions – the others happen to be very small. Other articles, including "The Universe's Unseen Dimensions," analyze the idea that our universe is one of many "branes" – three-dimensional structures stretched out over a higher-dimensional space. The concept of a parallel universe also touches time travel, and then there's the question of what the term "parallel universe" actually means. It's a triumph of the sciences that the very question of why the universe looks as it does can be asked at all. There are currently several possibilities for a multiverse, if it exists. Time and a lot of scientific spadework will reveal which one is right – and get us closer to answering those metaphysical questions: what if, why us, why now?

CEDAR FALLS � During the pregame shoot around, Northern Iowa filled the basket with balls � literally. Chip Rank poured in a 3 from the wing at the same time two other shots fell, which clogged the net.
Marc Sonnen sunk another from the same spot as the log jam continued.
The issue didn�t� extend into the game -- at least not at first.
Northern Iowa shot 37 percent on the night, which included air balls and layups blocked by the rim. The Panthers overcame the poor shooting night as Illinois Chicago (18-16) struggled with the smaller points of basketball, including dribbling, passing and sometimes even walking.
With the aid of 21 UIC turnovers UNI (20-14) pulled out a 63-51 win in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament on Saturday in front of 3,025 in the McLeod Center.
�Both teams were playing hard, I don�t fault either team for not playing hard but neither team was playing that good on offense,� UNI head coach Ben Jacobson said. �So it was a hard game to watch for a long time.�
The win places UNI in the third round of the CIT where it will host Bradley on Tuesday. The Panthers swept the Braves during the regular season.
The offensive ineptitude highlighted the struggles of the Northern Iowa bench. Against North Dakota in the opening round of the CIT, the Panther reserves scored five points on 1 of 8 shooting. Through the first half of Saturday�s game, the bench contributed two points on 1 of 5 attempts.
It continued a trend of 26 points in the last five games.
One of those struggling included Rank, who lit it up during pregame.
�Chip�s been struggling a little bit lately,� UNI sophomore Seth Tuttle said. �We all tell him let it go. He�ll sit in the gym and he�ll just make shot after shot after shot and then come game time he hadn�t been able to hit a couple here lately.�
With the game on the line, the ball found Rank. Deon Mitchell drove toward the basket. As the defense collapsed on Mitchell, he dished the ball to Rank in the right corner.
�I didn�t think he was going to shoot it,� UNI senior Jake Koch said. �But as soon as he started I thought it was going in.�
Rank buried the 3-pointer with 1:23 remaining, increasing the Panther lead to eight.
Since Jan. 21 Rank was 6 of his last 40 from beyond the arc. Rank also had a dunk to finish with five points, which are the most since Feb. 13 vs. Creighton where he scored 11 and sank three of those six deep balls.
�He�s a great shooter. It may not have been his best year shooting, but we all still have confidence in him,� Koch said. �That shot at the end was huge.�
Anthony James led the Panthers in scoring for the second straight game, this time with 17. Tuttle finished with 15, including the first eight points of the second half.
The Panthers disrupted the Flames� shooting habits as well. UIC�s leading scorer Gary Talton began the game 0 for 8 and finished with six points on 2 of 12 shooting. He also committed six turnovers � one shy of a season-high.
�We go as he goes,� UIC head coach Howard Moore said. �So if he�s turning the ball over quite a bit then other guys do the same.�
The Panthers helped themselves with 22 points off turnovers. They also emerged from the sloppy play with its 20th win, marking the fifth straight season. Like the CIT, it might not turn many heads, including its current players.
�We got 20 wins tonight?� Koch said. �That�s pretty awesome.�
And the streak, like the CIT, isn�t how the Panthers wanted to end the season, but it�s the only option they have.
�It may not be the tournament that we really wanted, with the NCAA Tournament,� Koch said. �But we�re in a tournament. We have the opportunity to play so we�re going to keep busting our butts.�
Game Ball:�Jake Koch - The senior ignited a 12-0 run midway through the second with two assists and took a charge late that led to a Flames technical. Koch finished with 11 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
Lame Ball: Gary Talton - Illinois-Chicago's leading scorer started the game 0 for 8 and finished with just six points.
Light the Victory Cigar: 1:23 second half - Chip Rank hits a 3-pointer from the right corner to put UNI up eight. Rank was 6 for his last 40 from 3 before making that shot.
Watercooler stat: Northern Iowa had runs of 8-0, 8-3, and 12-0, during them the Panthers shot 11 of 14. Each run lasted less than 2:35. The rest of the game UNI shot 9 of 40.Big Number:�4�- The number of points the UNI bench had before Rank's 3-pointer.

I have sensitive skin,it works pretty well.It has lavender scent smell.I have been using this deodarant from many days and it has become my favorite.
Works great as natural deodorant. This is a truly excellent product. It has a nice scent and doesn't cause any skin irritation. I've been using it for almost a month now and Will continue to purchase and use in the future.
It really worked better than expected. Best natural deodorant.
If you are trying to find a good aluminum free deodorant, this is the best one I have ever found! The stick does not work as well, for some reason the roll on works much better. I'm a woman and the way I found this is that a guy friend of mine was wearing it and I noticed the scent and I really liked it. He told me what it was and so I started getting it for myself. Of course it doesn't protect against wetness because it's not an anti antiperspirant, but it works great against odor. I think the scent is really nice and can work for a guy or a girl.

All of the Big Three CEOs will show up in the House of Representatives today to plead their case for a bailout. Analysts say they'll eventually get some money from the government, but will it help? Alisa Roth reports.
Job numbers are staggeringly low
Posted In: Jobs
The economy lost a shocking 533,000 jobs in November. The number is almost twice what was originally projected. How long will this go on? Ashley Milne-Tyte tries to find a silver lining in the losses.

Denver Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri is leaving to head up the Toronto Raptors' basketball operations, the Raptors announced on Friday night.
The move was first reported by Yahoo! Sports.
Ujiri accepted a five-year, $15 million deal from the Raptors, according to the Yahoo! Sports report.
Ujiri was the NBA's Executive of the Year this season and has been viewed as one of the top young executive in sports. He was responsible for rebuilding the Nuggets into a title contender following the trade of Carmelo Anthony in 2011.
Denver offered Ujiri a contract extension, according to the Yahoo! Sports report. His relationship with Nuggets team president Josh Kroenke made his decision to leave a tough one, according to the report. Ujiri's contract was set to expire on June 30.
Under Tim Leiweke, the new Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment CEO, the Raptors are making an aggressive push to reshape their front office hierarchy for the 2013-14 season.
Ujiri was an assistant general manager under Bryan Colangelo in Toronto before leaving for Denver in 2010. Colangelo ceded top basketball authority in the restructuring of Raptors' management.
Ujiri will likely let coach Dwane Casey continue as coach for next season, according to the report.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets are left to look for a general manager.

During the recent period of heavy snowfall, there were some reports of nearly 600 breakdowns per hour in parts of the UK*. You don't want to be left stranded in the bleak mid-winter, so rather than assuming it won't happen to you, why not spend ten minutes putting a breakdown survival kit together, just in case it does?
Make sure your device is fully charged before you leave for your journey so that you can make calls as and when you need to. If you have sufficient breakdown cover in place, you will want to call for help, otherwise you may well be ringing up friends and family and calling in some favours.
Warm clothing
Jumpers, coats, extra socks, gloves, scarves and hats – you will be grateful for any of these items if your car breaks down in the middle of winter. Staying warm is a priority, so extra layers of clothing are an absolute essential. Foil blankets do an excellent job of retaining body heat, so it may be worth including this in your checklist as well.
Should you need to walk anywhere (a warm pub, for example), it is always a good idea to have wellies in the boot or back of the car, just in case. Alternatively, snow grips can dramatically decrease the risk of slipping or falling and potentially sustaining an injury that could make things worse. If you do leave your car, remember to wear a high visibility vest to warn other motorists of your presence.
If the weather conditions are extremely adverse, it could be hours before help arrives. Make sure you've got some food stashed away in your car, preferably high energy snacks that can keep you going for a considerable amount of time. Water is also a necessity, to fend off the effects of dehydration.
If you break down in the winter, there's a high chance that it's going to be dark. Scrabbling around for provisions and scoping out your surroundings is vastly more difficult when you can't see. It's advisable to pack a torch into your emergency breakdown kit. Remember to pack spare batteries – or use a wind-up torch which can run without power.
Getting hold of breakdown cover is another essential aspect of covering yourself if your vehicle breaks down unexpectedly.

Current location: home>> Life Cultivation and Rehabilitation of TCM(PREVENTION) >> The Theoretical Basis of Life Cultivation and Rehabilitation of TCM >> Basis: Life and life span
2 Life span and health
Life span is determined by the human health conditions while the main factors affecting health are ageing and diseases. Accordingly, preserving and restoring health are the essential requirements for longevity.
Inspecting "spirit" can judge whether the human body is healthy or not. The signs of "having spirit" are as follows: the general appearance is sturdy, neither fat nor thin; the beard and hair are black, bright and lustrous; the complexion is ruddy with delightful expression; the eyes are expressive and full of vividness; the respiration is calm and neither rapid nor slow; the appetite is good with three meals deliciously eaten; the teeth are hard and firm without caries and injury; the sense of hearing is acute without tinnitus; the voice is loud and clear with long breath; the waist and legs are flexible without pain and soreness; the urination and defecation are smooth with normal discharges; the tongue is red with thin fur while the pulse is even and slow.
The above discussion includes the two parts of physiological and psychological health states. In fact, TCM has held that psychological health is as important as physiological health since ancient times. The theory of "seven emotions" in the etiology requires emotional regulation and spiritual happiness. This is also the external manifestation of good visceral functions.

Alumnus Spotlight: John Christopher "Kit" Cummings (BBA '89)
Assistant Director of Communications Jamie Lewis (AB '12, AB '12) recently interviewed alumnus Kit Cummings about his career and time at UGA. Kit is an international author, speaker and human rights and peace activist. After a lengthy career in ministry, Kit began working as a motivational speaker and was invited to speak inside a maximum security prison. This event was the catalyst for what Kit calls the "Power of Peace Program." Kit recently published Peace Behind the Wire, which raises funds for that program.
Tell me a little bit about your background. What pushed you to attend UGA and what did you study?
I have been in the Atlanta area for my entire life and never plan to relocate. I've traveled the world for work, but every time I get off the plane in Atlanta, I am happy to be home. My father played basketball at UGA in the 1950s and I was raised a Bulldog—I always planned to go to school in Athens. I graduated from Walton High School in 1982, played soccer at Georgia Southern University in 1982-1983 and transferred to UGA in 1984. I graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration in marketing from the Terry College of Business.
What was the inspiration for your book and what do you hope to accomplish with it?
I have been a public speaker for 25 years, and in the last 10 years or so, I began to get more involved in corporate motivational training. I was invited into a prison environment and that changed my life forever. I began to work with individuals who had made some of the worst choices and were experiencing some of the most drastic consequences. My mind change principles worked powerfully among this population and led to the creation of my organization, the Power of Peace Project, Inc. My new book, Peace Behind the Wire, tells the fascinating story of how 12 convicts in a dangerous maximum security prison, in the midst of a gang war, unknowingly started a peace movement that is now spreading to schools and prisons across the country. I intend to use this model, and the curriculum that was created from it, to spread peace throughout schools and communities around the world. I figure if it can work in the most dangerous places, which it has, then it can interrupt and redirect our at-risk youth, too.
What is next for you? Where do you see yourself in 3-5 years?
I continue to go where I'm invited and that has taken me on speaking tours around the country and even overseas into prisons in South Africa, Honduras, Ukraine and Mexico. At the end of this year, I will be going to India to plant seeds for the Power of Peace Project. I have connected with both the Gandhi and Mandela Foundations abroad, as well as the King Center here. Going forward, I see my organization and its volunteers working with states and foreign governments to create peace and help heal our wounded world. My dreams are BIG and the future is bright.
How did your time at UGA lead you to where you are now and did you have any particularly inspiring courses or professors?
I had the time of my life at UGA. Athens was a place I never wanted to leave! The nightlife, the music scene, the culture of a small town combined with a large thriving university probably did more to shape me than I realize. I lived right downtown at University Towers and experienced all that college life had to offer. I have always been able to relate well to different cultures, and ethnic/socioeconomic backgrounds and I believe my time at UGA only helped to strengthen that—which has had a huge impact on my work. I loved my marketing courses and professors and believe that I have carried what I learned there into many areas of my calling.
What is your fondest memory of UGA?
My fondest memory was when the Bulldogs beat the No.1 ranked Florida Gators in Jacksonville 24-3 in 1985. We rushed the field and attempted (unsuccessfully) to tear down the goal posts. My friends and I were photographed coming over the fence and put on the front page of the Jacksonville Times! Classic.
Alumnus Spotlight: Jack B. Hood (AB '69, JD '71)
Jack B. Hood (AB '69, JD '71) is a Georgia Bulldog fan, lawyer, author and banjo player - and a proud Double Dawg. After graduating from Georgia Law, he went on to earn a degree in international law from the University of Cambridge (Darwin College) in 1972. He is an assistant U.S. attorney in the Northern District of Alabama in Birmingham, and is a member of the Georgia, Alabama and District of Columbia bars.
Earlier this year, Jack returned from an American Bar Association (ABA)-sponsored trip to Ireland and the United Kingdom to attend the celebration of the 800th anniversary of the sealing of the Magna Carta at Runnymede. Jack is descended from Saer de Quincey, the first Earl of Winchester and one of the 25 barons that forced King John to seal the document in 1215. Saer de Quincey was also a Templar Knight who "took the Cross" and later died on November 3, 1219, while on the Fifth Crusade at the siege of Damietta in Egypt.
The ceremonies at Runnymede on June 15, 2015, were attended by British royalty and dignitaries from around the world, including Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, William, the Duke of Cambridge, Princess Anne, Prime Minister David Cameron, the Archbishop of Canterbury, William Hubbard, president of the ABA, and Loretta Lynch, attorney general of the United States.
Jack and his grandson Walkin
Jack, his daughter, and grandson attended exclusive events for ABA members at the residence of U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Kevin O'Malley at Deerfield in Phoenix Park, Dublin, and at U.S. Ambassador to the UK David Barzun's residence at Winfield House in London.
England's Prince William
They visited Darwin College at the University of Cambridge, attended formal dinners and enjoyed Darwin's annual formal ball. They also managed to tour Royal Air Force Bases at Duxford, Mildenhall, and Lakenheath with the assistance of a current USAF JAG officer living in Cambridge.
Jack's time at UGA led to his successful career as a lawyer, professor and author. Several of his undergraduate and law professors took a personal interest in his education and motivated Jack to become a productive member of the legal profession. Those inspirational professors at Georgia included Ed Best, Perry Sentell and Dean Rusk.
Alumnus and longtime supporter brings NASA to campus
Roger Hunter's (BS '78, Mathematics) passion for UGA is unmatched by most, and despite living thousands of miles from Athens, his veins are still filled with red and black.
In 2014, the associate director for programs at NASA Ames Research Center in California gave the fall commencement address and a TEDxUGA Talk. This past summer, he hosted UGA President Jere W. Morehead (JD '80) and other university representatives on a tour of Ames, even surprising them with an image of Uga IX on Mars – the first "earth-being" to visit the surface of the Red Planet.
His commitment to UGA continued this fall when Roger brought two of his NASA colleagues, Roberto Carlino and Jasper Wolfe, to campus to present to and mentor students and faculty on the Friday prior to the UGA vs. South Carolina football game.
(left to right): NASA scientists Jasper Wolfe from Australia, Roberto Carlino from Italy and UGA's own Roger Hunter from California.
Malcolm Adams, a Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor of Math, arranged for an afternoon lecture in the Miller Learning Center that was open to all students and promoted in STEM classes on campus. The presentation focused on the history and future of the use of Cube-Sats (mini satellites used for space research) from the perspective of the NASA Ames Research Center.
Earlier that day, though, the NASA representatives participated in a seminar/workshop for a group of faculty and students who are planning to build the first UGA CubeSat to gather spectral data off the Georgia coast. The group includes faculty from geography, marine science, physics and math, and 25 to 30 undergraduate students.
Both the students and faculty in attendance were inspired by the exciting, breakthrough technology presented by the visitors, and were appreciative of the first-hand mentoring offered.
Roger Hunter continues to contribute to UGA through his time, expertise and financial support. His involvement is greatly appreciated and can be seen as a stellar example of alumni enriching the learning experience on campus through volunteerism.
If you are interested in mentoring on campus or bringing a special project to UGA students, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and indicate your interest.

Summer on the Campaign Trail with Attorney General Hopeful Sen. Schneiderman
This summer, five New York Democrats are spending their days in a high stakes race for the Democratic Party's nomination for state Attorney General. WNYC's Bob Hennelly has been following the campaign and has this profile of State Sen. Eric Schneiderman.
On a recent day this summer, the Democrats running for Attorney General have a debate double header scheduled. Sen. Eric Schneiderman, who has represented northern Manhattan for more than ten years, is never laid back when it comes to telling an audience why he would be their best choice.
"I certainly think I have the strongest record on public integrity of anyone in this race," Schneiderman says. "Having worked against the Republican machine in the state Senate for years, and taken them on and ultimately put them out of business."
Schneiderman wants voters to see him as a reformer willing to go after members of his own party, if they deserve it. He wears his move to expel former Democratic Sen. Hiram Monserrate, after his domestic violence conviction, as a badge of honor.
"I am the only person here who actually has lead the effort to throw out a corrupt senator when I led the effort to expel Hiram Monserrate," Schneiderman says. "Some of us have been writing and fighting for ethics bills and anti-corruption bills. Until this campaign, despite all of your campaign contributions, I never saw you take a step towards reform."
Yet Schneiderman found himself on the defensive after denying allegations that he left the scene of a fender bender where his car did $3,000 in damage. When quizzed again about it he does his best to keep his cool.
"Do you think that's the case and is it fair for voters to question you about it?" the moderator asks.
"The voters talk to me about mortgage fraud, they talk to me about the plague of illegal guns, what I'm doing to take on insurance companies, abuses by debt collectors. Not one voter has actually asked me about this, I think with all due respect, the questions have been answered and it's time to move on," Schneiderman says.
At a friendlier venue, in front of City Hall, Schneiderman is there to get a critical union endorsement from the New York Hotel Workers' Union. Other candidates may have money, but Schneiderman is banking on his legions of union supporters and big name politicians, like City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. In a low turnout contest, like September's primary election may be, Schneiderman hopes unions like 1199 SEIU and the Hotel Workers' Union will get his name out to the public.
Peter Ward the president of the New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council says Schneiderman has been a friend of the union for the last 10 years. Ward says Schneiderman has "always been there every time we asked him to be there for us, it's simply the only conclusion we can come to."
Schneiderman was a partner with a corporate law firm, but has long been associated with activist groups, like Citizens Action. He was also a major force behind the repeal of the Rockefeller Drug Laws. On the steps of City Hall he has his jacket off and his sleeves rolled up.
"And we're going to work hard together for years to come in the future to ensure that people treat wage theft the way they treat car theft," he says as the crowd applauds.
Afterwards one reporter asks if a self described pro-union progressive like Schneiderman can win the election.
"Problem is, working men and women across the country didn't share enough in the wealth they helped to create. People aren't mad at unions, people aren't mad at working men and women. They're mad at the fat cats who drove the economy to the ground," Schneiderman says.
By early that evening, the audience, for yet another forum, is filing into a local law school auditorium. Schneiderman takes time to reflect on the long night ahead.
"I have to fly, I have to get a flight, I'm going upstate. I just flew—I got in from Buffalo last night, big state, a lot of territory to cover," he says.
Schneiderman, who got his start as a Deputy Sheriff in the Berkshires, tells the audience of lawyers that fighting corruption as attorney general means looking beyond Albany.
"A lot of times people will not go to the local authorities on public corruption issues because the local authorities are part of the culture of corruption," Schneiderman says. "The attorney general has got to go to the regional offices all around the state."
Schneiderman bows out of the debate early to catch a flight.
"Commercial aircraft, gentlemen," he says to reassure.
And with that, the hard driving candidate is off.

BROOKLYN PARK - Homicide charges in connection to the April 9 slaying of three people in a Brooklyn Park home have been increased to first-degree murder charges against Eddie Mosley, according to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office.
Mosley, 34, of St. Louis, Mo., was indicted for the shooting deaths of Delois Bolden Brown and her parents James Henry Bolden and Clover Bolden on Thursday.
According to the earlier criminal complaint in which he was charged with three counts of second-degree murder, a few days before the murders Mosley received a criminal complaint charging him with first-degree criminal sexual conduct against his juvenile niece.
The juvenile is the daughter of a woman who is a relative to DeLois Brown. After being charged by summons Mosely allegedly told the woman she needed to "make it go away," but she refused.
Investigators allege that Mosely knew his victim had been dropped off for daycare at Brown's home, but apparently was not aware that the child was no longer going there. They say he convinced a friend to drive with him in Mosely's black Dodge Durango with a bicycle in the back.
That man told authorities that when they reached Minnesota, Mosely stopped the truck, took the bike out, and told him to go buy coffee and cigarettes and come back. When he did, Mosely was waiting for him, his face covered in blood.
The witness says Mosely told him "I f---ed up."
Brown had just moved her parents up from their home in Missouri to Minnesota because their health was failing.
James Bolden Jr., DeLois' brother and son of the Boldens, tells KARE 11 the initial charges were not closure for his family but did say "knowing makes a difference." He also said he has never heard of Mosley.
