Chagtong Chentong
Determined to obtain the greatest possible benefit for all sentient beings, who are more precious than a wish-fulfilling jewel, I shall hold them most dear at all times.
When in the company of others, I shall always consider myself the lowest of all, and from the depths of my heart hold others dear and supreme.
Vigilant, the moment a delusion appears in my mind, endangering myself and others, I shall confront and avert it without delay.
When, out of envy, others mistreat me with abuse, insults or the like, I shall accept defeat and offer the victory to others
When somebody whom I have benefited and in whom I have great hopes gives me terrible harm, I shall regard that person as my holy guru.
In short, both directly and indirectly, I offer every happiness and benefit to all my mothers. I shall secretly take upon myself all their harmful actions and suffering.
Undefiled by the stains of the superstitions of the eight worldly concerns, may I, by perceiving all phenomena as illusory, be released from the bondage of attachment.

Envisioned, Enacted, Ended, Exceeded
On November 3, 2006, the APS 21st Century Campaign celebrated its kickoff. APS President John Hopfield led the program, which included the announcement of a $3.5 million goal seeking corporate, foundation, and individual gifts by December 31, 2008.
APS is pleased to offer recognition to the Campaign's supporters.
21st Century Campaign Contributors
Letter from Campaign Chair, William Brinkman:
I am delighted to announce that the American Physical Society's 21st Century Campaign has raised $4.3 million, exceeding its goal of $3.5 million.
The Campaign exemplifies the commitment of the American Physical Society to improve science education, attract greater numbers of women and under-represented minorities to the sciences, and develop stronger ties between industry and academia.
Our success was made possible by the many volunteers who served on the Executive Committee, the Campaign Council of Nobel Laureates, the Individual Gifts Campaign Committee, and those that supported our efforts as APS Board and Council members.
We greatly appreciate the numerous individuals who lent their name or played an active role in this initiative. Our efforts are already providing students with the skills to help them excel in the new millennium; endowing teachers with the knowledge to engage and educate their students; ensuring women and minorities have the opportunities and role models they need to compete in the physical sciences; providing industry with a robust and technically trained workforce; and communicating with the public that physics is a vital and dynamic field that touches nearly every aspect of our lives. The funds raised by the Campaign are providing major support to APS programs and will continue to do so in upcoming years.
Congratulations to all involved. This is certainly a major achievement for the Society.William F. Brinkman

Not sure if anyone else is a TNA fan, but it's there WrestleMania. It's on Sunday and I'm really pumped. Let's talk about the card.
Joey Ryan vs. Al Snow
-Ryan is cool, but Snow is boring and shouldn't be there. However, the story's been building up and finally Ryan will get a contract. After this match, Ryan will wrestle actual members of the roster. I'm not saying Snow is bad, but he doesn't interest me and he's old. I pick Ryan for the victory.
Christopher Daniels and Kazarian vs. Kurt Angle and AJ Styles vs. Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez (TNA tag team championships)
-Very very very pumped up. I don't know how they'll do the triple tag, but I love triple tags. I haven't seen one in forever. Plus, Daniels and Kazarian are amazing. They're hilarious and great wrestlers. Everyone in the match is a great wrestler. It's AJ Styles, so come on! Kurt and AJ don't click to me as a team, but they're good in the ring so it works. Chavo is blah to me, always has been, but he's good in the ring. I like Hernandez alot though. I'm thinking the World Tag Team Champions of the World, Daniels and Kaz, will win by Kurt turning on AJ or something. That's where it looks like it's going anyways.
Zema Ion vs. Rob Van Dam (TNA X Division championship)
-I love Zema Ion. I like RVD. I love the X Division. Can this match get any more awesome? I don't see RVD winning at all though. This match was rushed together since they're lacking in the X division (which they should sign Jigsaw by the way. He's sick). So, yes, Zema for the win.
Samoa Joe vs. Magnus (TNA TV championship)
-About damn time Joe is doing something awesome after 2/3 shitty years (TNA being shitty overall for 2009/2010/2011 and not using him, causing him to gain weight and it was just a mess). Magnus, I don't know much about actually although I liked his promos, so this is a wait and see. I still pick Joe though because he just won the belt and brought massive prestige to it.
Tara vs. Miss Tessmacher (TNA Knockouts championship)
-I really enjoy Tara, but Tessmacher just doesn't click with me. Wrestling wise, I expect a great match though. Tara's awesome and although MT just seems eh to me, she's good in the ring. The rivalry here is great (Teacher vs Student, Tara vs MT) and they recently added in Tara's "Hollywood" boyfriend. So someone new is coming in, so that's interesting. Anyways, want Tara to win, but I think MT will hold on for a little longer. I'm hoping for Tara though.
Sting and Bully Ray vs. Aces and 8s
-First off, thank God it's Bully and not Hogan. Second, this is extremely interesting. We have no idea who the Aces and 8s are. So, two members will be debuting/returning/I don't know. I've seen rumors, but I'm so excited. Sting is Sting, so it won't be an all star match. His charisma and presence will carry his own though. Bully however, has done an entire makeover, look wise and wrestling. He's an awesome bad guy. Fantastic charisma and I like the hard hitting style for him. As for the Aces, no idea since we don't know who they are. I'm betting everything on them winning though. They have to or they are forever banned from TNA. So, it only makes sense that they clearly win. Keeps the story going.
James Storm vs. Bobby Roode (King Mo Lawal special referee/enforcer)
-King Mo, whatever. This is like anyone special person. However, this is one where the build up to the match, the wrestlers, the match type is AMAZING. No one will care or even remember Mo because Storm and Roode will tear it up. I'm calling this match my most anticipated. I love Roode and Storm. This isn't a wrestling match, it's a street fight. Fits the feud 100% and might just be the ending to it. I don't think so, but's the "main" match in the feud that will be remembered. It's the peak. I can't pick who's going to win. Roode won months ago in a steel cage where Storm kicked him out of it, accidently. Then Storm went on hiatus, came back and got massive charisma. However, he never interacted with Roode. Just when Roode took a small hiatus after loosing the world belt to Aries, he came out of nowhere to get Storm back. That was amazing. Roode is at the of his career. Storm is at the top of his aswell, charisma wise. Both are good wrestlers, Roode more so, but this is a street fight, so like that matters. They say in every tag team there's a HBK & a Marty, a more successful one and one who isn't as much. This tag team proves that wrong. Storm is the ultimate "face" and Roode is the ultimate "heel' (Which his haircut helps so much by the way). This match is the match for me. I don't care who wins, I'm loving it that much, but I'm leaning towards Storm here. Huge fan of both. Storm for the win though.
Austin Aries vs. Jeff Hardy (TNA heavyweight championship)
Basically, it's there CM Punk vs well, Jeff Hardy. I will not call Hardy Cena because Hardy is not even close. But he's equally as popular as Cena. Atleast, he's TNA's "Cena Popularity." This match was pretty much set in stone, although I seriously wanted Austin Aries to fight Samoa Joe. I thought Joe was going to win the BFG series or actually I should say I was seriously thinking Storm was, but anyways, I hope we get Joe/Aries again one day, especially since both are champions now. Jeff Hardy is well, Jeff Hardy in the ring. Not bad, but no Jericho. He has a unique and different style compared to everyone. Aries is awesome and the crowd will be cheering on Hardy massively. Aries was a good guy, but he's just a douchebag in my opinion, whether it be a face or a heel. He just bothers me outside of the business for some reason. I like him though. Amazing wrestler. I love Jeff Hardy, though. As for the win, I honestly don't know. Hardy is rumored to be leaving and even before that he's been getting "built" for the belt. He has taken the path to the belt, in a way. I can see him winning, but I can see Aries winning too. I'm putting my victory on Hardy.
Other things-I hope and think we'll see Abyss.
Well, that's my opinion. Can't wait for Sunday. TNA's been amazing this year.

Bunch of guys and I have started a Carnivore's Club, where we'll be visiting be best steakhouses in town one by one, on a semi-regular basis. Some of us were at a Cardinals game last night, and the idea was floated to assign everyone meat-related nicknames -- perhaps it was the copious amounts of beer talking because it seems unfathomably lame as I'm typing it out now, but everyone seemed to think it was a great idea at the time. Accordingly, I need to come up with probably 25-30 meat-related nicknames.
Some cuts of meat are obvious options, so here's what we've come up with so far:
Big Strip
Pork Chop
Pot Roast
Prime Rib
I wish be had a Charles, Robert or Stuart in our crew, because Chuck, Ka-Bob, and Stew would become natural options
Anyway, anyone got any thoughts?

REPUBLIC, Ohio (AP) -- Fire officials in northern Ohio say a truck veered off a county road into a ditch and struck a natural gas line, sparking a blaze that could be seen from miles away.
The crash happened Wednesday morning in the village of Republic, about 45 miles southeast of Toledo.
WTOL-TV (http://bit.ly/zx4moQ ) reports witnesses said the flames were 30 feet high, but there was no immediate word of injuries.
Crews were working to cap the gas line and put out the blaze. The Republic Fire Department remained on the scene Wednesday afternoon.

GANG Show lovers and theatre supporters will already be gearing up to see the Brewhouse reopen in all its glory tomorrow (Tuesday April 8).
And there'll also be visual art delights to greet punters: art exhibition, 'Wondrous Things'.
Taking its title from a famous quote by the man who discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun, the exhibition has been curated by Wiveliscombe artist Annie Phillips.
In it, emerging artists stand alongside some of Somerset's best-established creatives.
When archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun in 1922, Lord Caernarvon asked, "Can you see anything?"
Carter replied: "Yes – Wondrous Things!"
Reflecting on the inaugural show, Annie said: "It sums up my aspirations for the delights that lie in store for the people who eagerly anticipate the long awaited re-opening of The Brewhouse.
"The overwhelming response of the artists who submitted their works on short notice for this event is humbling.
"The quality and diversity of the art sets a standard and show of commitment to all those people waiting in the wings to make this venture a success."
The artists are: John Alder, Michael Fairfax, Sara Fairfax, Tilly Willis, Richard Willis, RA Toni Davey, Andrew Davey, Leo Davey, Rebecca Birtwhistle, Simon Healy, Richard Balman, David Leyland, Ben Graham, Beatrice Hammond, Kerry Molfesis, Dean Aggett, Annie Jeffs, and Sam Jeffs.
- TAUNTON Scout and Guide Gang Show 2014 starts at 7.15pm on April 8-12 with a 2.15pm matinee on Saturday. Tickets cost £8.50/£7.50 for Wednesday and Thursday, £9/£8 for Thursday and Friday, £8.50/£7.50 for the Saturday 2.30pm matinee and £11 for Saturday night from Taunton Tourist Information Centre on 01823-336344.

Idiopathic Basal Ganglia Calcification, also known as Fahr disease or Fahr's Syndrome is a rare,[1] genetically dominant, inherited neurological disorder characterized by abnormal deposits of calcium in areas of the brain that control movement, including the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex. It is a rare degenerative neurological disorder characterized by calcifications and cell loss within the basal ganglia.[2]
A locus at 14q has been suggested, but no gene has been identified.[3] However, basal ganglia calcification can occur as a consequence of other known genetic conditions.
History and terminologyEdit
The disease was first noted by German neurologist Karl Theodor Fahr in 1930.[4][5] A less common name for the condition is Chavany-Brunhes syndrome and Fritsche's syndrome, the former named after Jacques Brunhes, Jean Alfred Émile Chavany, while the later named after R. Fritsche.[6][7]
There is no cure for Fahr's Syndrome, nor is there a standard course of treatment. Treatment addresses symptoms on an individual basis. Case reports have suggested that haloperidol or lithium carbonate may help with psychotic symptoms.[8]
The prognosis for any individual with Fahr's Syndrome is variable and hard to predict. There is no reliable correlation between age, extent of calcium deposits in the brain, and neurological deficit. Since the appearance of calcification is age-dependent, a CT scan could be negative in a gene carrier who is younger than the age of 55.
Progressive neurological deterioration generally results in disability and death.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/2/2013 (1647 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
KINGSTON, ONT. — Manitoba's Jennifer Jones drew for a four-ender in the seventh end and then stole three more in the eighth end to turn a 4-4 nail-biter with Nova Scotia into an 11-4 rout here at the Canadian women's curling championship Monday afternoon.
Manitoba actually trailed 3-1 heading into the fifth end as Jones, who has been at the very top of her game this week, uncharacteristically struggled with her draw weight and broom placement early on, shooting just 73 per cent through the first five ends.
But this game ultimately turned on the seventh end. With the game tied and Manitoba already lying three, Nova Scotia skip Mary-Anne Arsenault sailed a freeze attempt through the house with her final stone of the end. Jones attempted a split on a Manitoba stone just out front of the rings for a possible five-ender, but had to settle for four when the split failed.
"We had a really close game and then we popped a four," said Jones, noting that's been Nova Scotia's undoing here this week as a team of women who won five Canadian titles together are now winless in their first four games. "I think a lot of their games have been close and they've given up one bad end."
That's been the problem alright, said Nova Scotia second Colleen Jones. "In the Maritimes, if you have one miss in an end, you don't pay for it with a three or four," said Jones. "You can always get out of it."
With the victory, Manitoba improves to 4-0 and remains in a tie for first place with Ontario's Rachel Homan, Saskatchewan's Jill Shumay and Canada's Heather Nedohin. Nedohin beat Quebec's Allison Ross 12-2 Monday afternoon; Homan needed an extra end to dispatch B.C.'s Kelly Scott 9-8; and Shumay drew to backing with her final stone of the 10th end to beat Alberta 7-6.
Jones returns to the ice Monday evening, when she plays NWT's Kerry Galusha (1-3).

It found that SANE programs consistently offered forensic evidence collection, sexually transmitted infection (STI) prophylaxis, information on HIV and pregnancy risk, and referrals to community resources. The article explores fiscal, professional and political reasons SANE programs did not routinely provide STI screening, testing, and treatment and emergency contraception (EC).
The Effectiveness Of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (Sane) Programs: A Review of Psychological, Medical, Legal, and Community Outcomes
Rebecca Campbell, Debra Patterson, Lauren F. Lichty
Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Vol. 6, No. 4, October 2005
This article reviews the empirical literature regarding the effectiveness of SANE programs in five domains: (a) promoting the psychological recovery of survivors, (b) providing comprehensive and consistent postrape medical care (e.g., emergency contraception, sexually transmitted disease prophylaxis), (c) documenting the forensic evidence of the crime completely and accurately, (d) improving the prosecution of sexual assault cases by providing better forensics and expert testimony, and (e) creating community change by bringing multiple service providers together to provide comprehensive care to rape survivors. Preliminary evidence suggests that SANE programs are effective in all domains.

It has a severe, negative effect on our patient community also. In addition to the below, you may encounter numerous, other notifications.
"Due to the absence of either an FY 2014 appropriation or Continuing Resolution for the Department of Health and Human Services, the government has shutdown with the exception of limited services.
We appreciate your continued interest in the activities of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) during the government shutdown. NCI is making every effort to protect life and property, with essential personnel remaining to protect research and continue ongoing protocols. In terms of intramural research, doctors will continue to see patients at the NIH Clinical Center; however, no new research may begin. Extramural research cannot be funded at this time due to the lack of appropriations for Fiscal Year 2014. Please continue to monitor major media outlets for updated information about federal operations.

Last week anti-capitalist protesters outside the European Central Bank were dominating (at least the local) news in Frankfurt, this week it was the turn of the policymakers inside the building. The ECB is keeping its rates on hold at 0.5 per cent and Mario Draghi, president, has been quizzed on where the eurozone is headed.
The ECB staff's quarterly economic forecasts have been tweaked, so this year's contraction is greater than previously forecast at 0.6 per cent and next year's growth forecast creeps up to 1.1 per cent (but then a year is a long, long time in economic forecasting.)

Pyogenic granulomas are small, raised, red bumps on the skin. The bumps have a smooth surface and may be moist. They bleed easily because of the high number of blood vessels at the site.
Lobular capillary hemangioma
The exact cause of pyogenic granulomas is unknown. They often appear following an injury on the hands, arms, or face.
Pyogenic granulomas are common in children.
Your health care provider will do a physical exam to diagnose this condition. You may also need a skin biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
Small pyogenic granulomas may go away suddenly. Larger bumps are treated with surgery, electrocautery, freezing, or lasers.
Most pyogenic granulomas can be removed. A scar may remain after treatment. There is a high chance that the problem will come back if the whole granuloma is not destroyed during treatment.
Call your health care provider if you have a skin bump that bleeds easily or that changes appearance.

A COMMERCIAL art gallery has joined the thriving artistic community in Wotton-under-Edge.
Wotton Gallery officially opened its doors on Long Street on Saturday, February 1.
Gallery owner and artist Philip Hill is currently showing his own work, but will also exhibit work from up and coming local artists.
Mr Hill's bold, modern pieces utilise perspex and acrylic sheets along with light to create multi-functional artworks.
Bright colours are used alongside art light in sculptures and installations often taking everyday objects at their base – everything from drift wood through to motor parts, hair dryers and Vespa mopeds.
Mr Hill, 55, said: "The gallery will host regular exhibitions with a focus on modern and contemporary art that breaks from standard conventions, and which engages and inspires."
Having lived in Greece in recent years, Mr Hill was visiting his twin brother in Wotton when he happened upon the vacant shop in the town centre. A chance encounter with the property's seller resulted in him realising his lifelong dream to own an art gallery.
Gallery manager Amanda McKnight said they had been getting lots of interest from people hoping to contribute to the gallery.
"It's going to be a question of who complements his work and the gallery," she explained.
"We have been told by other locals that Wotton is up-and-coming in the arts scene and we are excited to be entering the art sector during its time of growth."

When I was little girl, my grandmother had the responsibility of caring for us children during the summer months. Even though we were very independent kids, it was her goal to keep us in line — although Grandma's "line" was often crooked and a bit crazy. In other words, she was there to keep us from killing each other and ourselves. She succeeded.
Summer on the farm was filled with a plethora of adventures — most were spontaneous ideas when one of us would say, "I wonder what would happen if we did ... this or that?" The results included swinging from ropes in the haymow, setting up daredevil courses in the barnyard, visiting Big Bureau Creek, which we were forbidden to go to without a responsible adult by our side (little did they know!), and much more. There's no sense rehashing the past. Even though my grandmother left this world many years ago, I don't doubt she can still make my life miserable if I disclose too much ... but you get the idea.
We were a bunch of rowdy hoodlums (by yesterday's standards), and we were having the time of our young lives. We played hard. The TV seldom got turned on. We were always getting bruised and banged up, but we never noticed. We jumped. We ran. We rode our bikes. We did all the things kids are supposed to do, including getting into our share of trouble.
Poor Grandma! She hated to discipline us. OK, she did swat us with the flyswatter occasionally, but by and large, she was fairly easy. She tolerated a lot ... and I mean a lot. Her biggest endeavor was to keep us from upsetting our grandfather, so as I look back, I understand many of her methods revolved around that endless task. Grandpa wasn't one for shenanigans, so in order for life to run smoothly on the farm, that meant she had to become creative with how she dealt with our summertime antics.
And then one day — it must have been a particular trying day for her, and we must have really been acting up — Grandma said something that shook my soul. I'm sure she never thought about how a little kid like myself would react, but after disciplining us for the umpteenth time, she said, "Somedays, I just want to get in the car, start driving and never look back!"
It didn't hit me then that Grandma seldom drove. What did bother me was the idea of Grandma leaving us behind, never looking back. I remember those words like they were said yesterday — never said out of hatred, rather out of frustration. I remember how those words stopped me in my tracks and slapped me alongside my face. If I remember correctly, her little sentence helped me to behave the rest of the summer, for the idea of Grandma leaving us behind was something I couldn't fathom.
As an adult now, I know Grandma would have never left us, and if she had known the impact of her words on this little girl, I'm sure she wouldn't have said them. Still though, 40-some years later I still remember ...
And so it was the other day when the craziness at the office had just about taken all of my strength to get through the day. I felt as if I had been beaten up pretty badly, and I still had a host of things I wanted to accomplish when I got home, though my energy had dwindled. Sunroof open; CD blaring in my car; the sweet smell of summer blowing in the air ... Grandma's words returned to me on my way home: "Somedays, I just want to get in the car, start driving and never look back!"
Of course I didn't mean those words anymore than she did many years ago, but her memory did bring a smile to my face. After all, they say what goes around eventually comes around. Who would have thought those devastating words from so long ago could be so comforting today?

A new discussion board experience is coming this September!
After 10 years, we're upgrading our discussion board to a new modern system. The new forum will be easier to use, mobile-friendly and loaded with new features! We'll be taking all of the existing posts and users over to the new board, you won't have to do anything. If you have any questions, we've started a thread here to discuss.
Has anyone ever been on erbitux? Any suggestions for the rash? I have it bad on my legs and under my arm. It is very itchy and can be painful. Trying to use cortisone cream and Benadryl. Thanks.
Hi Shari. When Teddy had first Jaundiced years ago we were advised by a Pharmacist to use a cream called Sarna. It worked like magic. You can get it at CVS or Walgreens over the counter. But, since your rash is caused from chemo I would first ask the Pharmacist if it is ok for that. Best of luck as I know how annoying that can be.
Shari....From what we have seen the EGFR inhibitors unfortunately cause skin rashes anywhere from mostly mild to moderately severe in about on third of patients. These skin rashes are worst in the beginning of treatment and then taper off with subsequent treatments. That is for some patients. Definitely, report this to the physician, as he/she may prescribe systemic antibiotics or reduce the dosage even more. Hoping for Percy to chime in on this one.
Hi Shari.... I came upon one of your posts after a search and see that you are from Bismarck. My husband, Ron, was recently diagnosed with CC and he is doctoring in Bismarck with Dr. Chaudhray @ Sanford. I read that you had a rescection right away. Dr. C is telling us that Ron isn't a candidate for surgery because of the size of his lesion (10 cm) and because there are several other small spots, so he started him on Gem/Cis. Ron has had 2 treatments so far and is doing well. Dr. C asked if we wanted to go to Mayo for a 2nd opinion, which we did. However, when a rep from Mayo called they said that since Ron had already started with chemo, they want him to wait until after the 1st round of treatments (3 months), have new scans taken, and then come to Rochester. From what I've read on your posts, one of your lesions was even larger than Ron's. Is that correct? Ron's cancer has not spread to anywhere beyond the liver. It looks like you've had a long journey already and ours is just beginning. Godspeed to you!
Shari - for some reason I cannot find how to send you a message privately. I got your messages yesterday in my email but since I'm new to this site, I don't know how to respond and couldn't find your post anywhere on this site. If you want, you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Snowbird, if you click on Sharimay's name to the left of her post it will take you right to her email.
I am a computer dud, but will try to explain:
left side, click on name of person
It will take you to the "profile" page
scroll to:
Email: (here you find the poster's personal e-mail address) click on
or you may use this site to screen your own e-mail address. In that case use the below:
Email: Send forum email (click on)
Personally I find it best to use the first appearing e-mail containing the person's personal e-mail address. Once you start conversations, you will reveal yourself anyway.
Good luck and please don't hesitate from asking for additional help. Remember, the majority of our members (myself included) had to struggle through some of these issues too.

Up on the Bastione San Remy the views over Cagliari can make you mighty thirsty; but luckily Caffè Librarium has its pedestrian area and just the right measure of night-time bar chic. Get here early though to grab yourself a place on one of the white seats or chaises lounges under palms and parasols, where you can watch owner Danilo and his skilful barmen as they shake and stir the fruity cocktails for all walks of Cagliari's crowd. Inside there's a room from the 1300s, where you might bump into writer Massimo Carlotto sipping his Calvados-spiked Alligator.

Duplicolor Storm Gray
Witchery (with new singer, Magus Caligula) performing The Storm:
The Entwistle HVX *will* do the 80s metal sound. People are comparing it to the Screamin' Demon (which I absolutely hate), I was thinking more along the lines of a medium output JB, so maybe it's a bridge between the two. Definitely a good sounding pickup, cheap as hell, and with the logo, I don't have to put a sticker on the back of the headstock reminding me which pickup is installed.

By Amy Rosen
I had a wonderful experience today helping chart the course for bringing financial literacy to all young Americans. I joined the President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability in presenting our findings to President Obama.
Managing money, particularly our own, clearly isn't something that comes naturally for many people when you consider the amount of personal debt in this nation. So how can we as a nation raise an entire generation of financial literate Americans? The answer starts with education. Learn more about our findings, recommendations and how they'll be used in my Forbes article.

Has American higher education become a dinosaur? Why do professors all tend to think alike? What makes it so hard for colleges to decide which subjects should be required? Why do teachers and scholars find it so difficult to transcend the limits of their disciplines? Why, in short, are problems that should be easy for universities to solve so intractable?
The answer, Louis Menand argues, is that the institutional structure and the educational philosophy of higher education have remained the same for 100 years, while faculties and student bodies have radically changed and technology has drastically transformed the way people produce and disseminate knowledge.
Sparking a long-overdue debate about the future of American education, The Marketplace of Ideas examines what professors and students - and all the rest of us - might be better off without while assessing what is worth saving in our traditional university institutions.
©2009 Louis Menand (P)2010 Tantor
"Part history of higher education, part sympathetic but insistent argument for change, Menand's book is a worthy and admirably succinct exploration of why colleges are so difficult to improve." (The Washington Monthly)
"Prepare to be lectured"
The author has chosen an engaging topic but has managed to transform it into a dull lecture. He writes in the academic style of a dissertation, and the narrator compounds the pain with his monotone delivery.

Police have found "no evidence" so far that anyone else was involved in the death of exiled Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky, but are retaining "an open mind", according to one of the detectives working on the case. It's hardly surprising that questions remain. While one friend told the FT: "In the last few months, he was very depressed, very low. He felt beset by all the issues that surrounded him", another – Nikolai Glushkov, a fellow Russian exile – told the Guardian's Luke Harding: "I will never believe in the natural death of Boris Berezovsky." It may be a while before any certainty is reached [update: police said late on Monday that a postmortem found the cause of death was "consistent with hanging"] – but in the meantime, it's worth reading up on the life of a man whose influence over his homeland will be felt for a long time to come.
- Owen Matthews recalls his first meeting with Berezovsky in 1998, at the "luxurious Logovaz Club, a restored prerevolutionary mansion in central Moscow". In a piece full of pithy assessments ("Yeltsin may have made Russia free, but it was Berezovsky who made it for sale"; "Berezovsky was Dr. Frankenstein, whose monster was a poker-faced little KGB officer"), Matthews paints a vivid picture of the mathmetician-turned-kingmaker whose love of power contributed to his undoing.
- Berezovsky posted a message on Facebook last year, asking his fellow Russians to forgive him for bringing Vladimir Putin to power. The Economist suggests that he sealed his own fall from grace by not only choosing Putin as Yeltsin's successor, but by making a big deal of it. "Berezovsky… publicised his influence on Mr Putin's appointment as Yeltsin's successor so openly that he left Mr Putin with no choice but to kick him out."
- Writing for the FT, Ben Judah contrasts the Berezovsky of old – "they called him 'the comet', because he burnt so bright and talked so fast" – with the "insecure, self-doubting and anguished man" of recent months.

Lufthansa to fly directly between Cape Town and Munich
The contract would be for 1 tourist season and we would have to prove to them (Lufthansa) that the route is viable - Alan Winde, Western Cape Tourism, Finance and Economic MEC.
Cape Town is a very popular tourist destination for European travellers, so the announcement that there are plans for Lufthansa to fly directly between Cape Town and Munich was well received by the travel industry.
Alan Winde, Western Cape Tourism, Finance and Economic MEC announced to the media last week that he is in the process of signing a deal with the German national airline that will facilitate direct flights to Cape Town.
This move comes after South African Airways (SAA) cancelled its direct route between Cape Town and London from 15 August 2012, saying that the route was unprofitable.
Winde told the press that he was reluctant to criticise the national carrier, but that Cape Town Tourism needed to find ways to offset the loss of direct routes to Cape Town from core European markets. He pointed out that the Western Cape has become very competitive in its tourism offerings and that direct flights are an essential element of marketing the destination.
'Currently 10% of the Western Cape's economy is tourism-related and I would like to see this increase to 15% over the medium term,' Winde told the Business Day newspaper. 'However, a lot will depend on the Western Cape realising that tourism is serious business.'
Winde said that in his negotiations with Lufthansa it was decided the German airline would fly directly to the Mother City for a limited time to test the waters in terms of the route making financial sense.
'The contract would be for 1 tourist season and we would have to prove to them (Lufthansa) that the route is viable,' Winde said.
No doubt, Germany has had its focus set on Cape Town for some time. It was announced in August that German leisure carrier Condor would launch direct flights between Frankfurt and Cape Town from 3 November 2012.

Exhibition: Eye to I...3,000 Years of Portraits - Katonah Museum of Art
Through February 16, 2014 - Katonah
The curatorial staff of the Katonah Museum of Art is developing an exhibition of portraiture that will represent diverse cultures and span more than 3,000 years of history and art. "Eye to I...3,000 years of Portraits" is not intended as an encyclopedic account of portraiture; rather, it will use portraits to explore the myriad ways that individuals look at and understand imagery. Each of the 60 portraits on display will offer interpretive copy from a range of individuals - scholars, teachers, actors, doctors, politicians, art collectors, and community members - explicating the work from their personal perspective. Visitors will be invited to add their own responses as well.
The conceptual framework for this show is based on the premise that in art, as in life, there is no single piece with a meaning that is objective, value-neutral, or accessible to all. The importance assigned to an art object corresponds to the viewers' perspectives, which vary according to language, culture, socialization, education, and other aspects of their personal histories. The portrait genre in particular presents multiple layers of interpretation and represents a broad sampling of eras, media, and artistic periods.
The earliest works on display will be a carved Egyptian bust of Amenhotep III, dating from 1,500 BC, and a marble sculpture of a Roman priest (AD 125). From there, the exhibition moves forward to feature portraits from Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America to contemporary American artists who create portraits in astounding ways. The artists included are Diane Arbus, Chuck Close, John Singleton Copley, Gustave Courbet, Edward Curtis, Eric Fischl, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Duane Hanson, Oliver Herring, Byron Kim, Vik Muniz, Alice Neel, Shirin Neshat, Julian Opie, Pablo Picasso, Gordon Parks, Martin Schoeller, Cindy Sherman, Auguste Rodin, Edouard Vuillard, Andy Warhol, and Kehinde Wiley, among others.
On view Oct. 27, 2013 through Feb. 16, 2014. Museum hours: Tuesdays through Saturdays: 10am-5pm; Sundays: 12-5pm. Closed Mondays.

Dear Diary: Update All - Neuberger Museum of Art
Through March 16, 2014 - Purchase
With the advent of social networking and mobile communications, the diary has evolved from private medium to a forum for public consideration and collaborative thought, where the personal becomes a platform for social interaction, reflection, and activism. A new exhibition at the Neuberger Museum of Art addresses private versus public space, how we connect and interact, as the personal and private are merged with the public.
"Dear Diary: Update All," will be on view at the Neuberger Museum of Art of Purchase College from January 4 through March 16, 2014. The exhibition of 20 international artists and 30 artworks explores how artists express their individual and collective identities, and the relationships among memory, document, and fiction. The mixed media exhibition presents work that uses online data, remembrance, handiwork, genetics, gaming, and Google to mark the discord, beauty, and banality that occur each day.
According to Jacqueline Shilkoff, the Museum's Curator of New Media, Dear Diary will be "an exciting forum for ideas and interaction." Adding another dimension to the show, students from Purchase College, SUNY will be on site during Museum hours to engage in conversation with visitors about the exhibition as well as help them navigate the show and interact with the artwork. "The artists express an astounding range of poetic philosophical expressions," Shilkoff adds.
Among the artworks in the exhibition is the installation "A Charge for Privacy" (2013), an electronic phone charging station created by Nick Briz, Paul X. Briz, and Ramon Branger. The work is intuitive, featuring the familiar routine of charging a phone battery and offering viewers to charge their phones. The artists, however, introduce a barrier: an agreement to the terms of use for this charging station. From this entry point, our digital history stored in our phones creates voluntary (and involuntary) representations of ourselves.
Another piece, Editor Solitario (2011) by Colombian artist Oscar Munoz, focuses on the interrelation of images and memory, exploring the ephemeral and vulnerable nature of human life. It is a black-and-white projection onto a table depicting photographs: formal portraits and family snapshots, celebrity photos, painters' self-portraits, postmortem photos, and police sketches. An unseen subject extends an arm to place photographs on the table, removing some, exchanging others, pausing, covering, and quickly removing them. Munoz combines personal and cultural histories, merging found images of the living with found images of the dead in an ambiguous narrative of individual and national memory, loss, and hope.
Other artists and collaborators in the exhibition include: Kannan Arunasalam, Chloe Bass, Nick Briz, Paul X. Briz, Ramon Branger, Victor Castro, Revital Cohen and Tuur Van Balen, Chris Collins, Eric Eberhardt, Zach Gage, Mark McKenna, Amanullah Mojadidi, Molleindustria, Oscar Munoz, Laura Splan, Aalam Wassef, YoHa with Matthew Fuller.
Generous support for "Dear Diary: Update All" is provided by Marcy Kahn. Additional funding is provided by RBC Wealth Management, the Friends of the Neuberger Museum of Art and the Purchase College Foundation.
The Neuberger Museum of Art will present various programs in conjunction with the exhibition.
Exhibition: Oysters, Pearls of Long Island Sound - Bruce Museum
Through March 23, 2014 - Greenwich

Cleve Gray's Threnody: Forty Years - A lamentation on the loss of life in the Vietnam era - Neuberger Museum of Art
Through March 23, 2014 - Purchase
Forty years ago American artist and abstract expressionist Cleve Gray was commissioned to create a site-specific painting for the inauguration of the Neuberger Museum of Art of Purchase College in 1974. Threnody (1972-73), the 22-foot tall, 250-foot long artwork in 28 panels, turned out to be an extraordinary project - a lament for the dead on both sides of the Vietnam War. At the time, college students across the country were demonstrating against the conflict in Vietnam, a war they felt to be unjust and inhumane. Gray saw the significance of the Museum's location on a college campus. An active anti-war advocate himself, Gray saw this as an opportunity to support the students and express his hope for humanity's spiritual and emotional healing.
As part of the Neuberger Museum's 40th anniversary celebration, Gray's monumental artwork will once again be on view, in "Cleve Gray's Threnody: Forty Years," organized by assistant curator, Avis Larson. Generous support for "Cleve Gray's Threnody: Forty Years" is provided by the Friends of the Neuberger Museum of Art and Purchase College Foundation.
Threnody features 28 contiguous panels installed in the museum's Theater Gallery, effectively converting it into a cathedral with tall vertical forms engaged in a "dance of death and life."
"Threnody considers opposites - male and female, love and hate, conflict and peace," notes Larson. She points out that Threnody continues to have an impact on viewers forty years after it was first exhibited. "In many ways we are facing similar issues relating to war and the loss of innocent lives, in addition to the many other situations we have to confront here in the United States, such as gun violence."
A "threnody" is a classical song of mourning, a lamentation. In 1975, when explaining the piece, Gray wrote: "I felt that tragedy had been manifested more intensely during those years and in the preceding decade than at any other time in American history. Iniquity, futile death, and destruction surrounded us with little relief. This sense of tragedy in the sixties and seventies insisted itself upon me as the subject matter for the walls I had been asked to paint in the Neuberger Museum, for I felt that the heroic space encompassed by these walls required a heroic subject."
Threnody marked a turning point in the artist's investigation of a radically simplified, vertical image, and the large-scale calligraphic gestures that became the hallmark of his mature paintings. To prepare, Gray created several hundred color studies and over 100 figure studies over a period of about 18 months.
About his approach to large-scale logistics, Gray wrote that he "had a 20' x 20' easel constructed...it had a hoist so that it could be raised to the vertical position." In addition, he used very large brushes, sometimes janitors' push brooms, and plastic swimming pools in which to mix his paints.
Rhythmically spaced motifs in the 28 panels suggest a diversity of imagery, and most vividly, perhaps, a procession of solemn dancers. "The depiction of tragedy often requires an element of hope, so I chose a positive red for the central figure of the 'apse' wall. Unexpectedly but inevitably this figure became the climactic point of the room. In the midst of death it had to offer the hope of life, just as blood is both the palpitating fluid of life and the fleeting evidence of death."
Larson believes that the reinstallation of Threnody "impresses upon us the need for humanity's spiritual and emotional healing as we now face the devastation of current wars and the loss of life on both sides. Threnody offers our students and the general public a place conducive to contemplation and meditation."
Threnody is part of the Neuberger Museum's permanent collection, and has been exhibited from time to time, most recently in 2007, and before then, shortly after 9/11. On view from January 12 through March 23.
'Tornado Alley' - Maritime Aquarium
Through April 03, 2014 - Norwalk
This film invites the audience to follow along with a daring team of "storm chasers" as they work to understand the origins and evolution of tornadoes.

Great White Shark - Maritime Aquarium - IMAX
Through April 03, 2014 - Norwalk
No other modern animal may command both fear and fascination as much as the great white shark ? but The Maritime Aquarium's new IMAX?film suggests, instead, that these predators mainly need help and respect. This film unravels the mystery of the creature by telling the true story of its role atop the oceanic food chain. "Our mission is to change people's attitudes toward the great white," said Steve McNicholas, co-director of the film. "It's not the menacing, evil predator it's made out to be. It's simply performing its crucial role at the top of the ocean's food chain. Great whites are not monsters any more than the polar bears or lions that we revere." The 40-minute film takes viewers around the world to great-white hotspots and examines the animals through the eyes of several people whose lives and work have become inextricably linked to the great white, including shark expert Michael Rutzen, who openly scuba dives among them. October 11-April 3, 2014.

Exhibition: Six Ladders - Katonah Museum of Art
Through April 21, 2014 - Katonah
Bright swaths of vibrant colors transform the Katonah Museum of Art's exterior in its newest outdoor exhibition, "Six Ladders," by artist Andrea Lilienthal. Lilienthal created a series of giant bamboo ladders for the Museum's stately Sculpture Garden that are whimsical and enigmatic; their brilliant colors electrify the natural surroundings.
Five ladders, with their cheerful colors and playful patterns, lean against the Museum's enormous spruce trees in various positions and at different angles. On the building's facade, a sixth, 30-foot ladder extends just short of the roofline - its form and ribbons of color energizing the wall and lending sculptural dimension to the flat expanse. Each of the ladders are hand-constructed from sturdy commercial bamboo, harvested in China, and painted with high-gloss outdoor enamel paint from Holland. Their surfaces are smooth and reflective, in contrast to the course-textured tree bark.
According to Katonah Museum of Art Curator Ellen Keiter, "These are not functional structures - their bottom rungs are too high to mount and the ladders fail to reach the top of their intended destinations. These are instead beautiful works of art; Andrea Lilienthal responds to the inherent geometry of ladders and the repetitive rhythm of their rungs. She finds beauty in their simple, minimalist construction."
"Lilienthal's ladders instill a sense of wonder and suggest that seemingly unreachable goals can be attained," she says.
Keiter explains that bamboo is a hollow-stemmed, woody plant that "bows, sways, and splits, so slight imperfections, even substantial cracks, add distinctive character to each ladder. No two ladders are painted the same, yet their similarly saturated hues coalesce into a lively visual harmony."
She adds, "The bands of luscious color wrap around the bamboo like candy confections, and bright confetti patterns alternate with stark black-and-white designs. A causal link exists between the artificial colors and the natural bamboo. On one ladder, Lilienthal painted white rings around the growth nodes of the bamboo; on another, the nodes demarcate the lengths of painted blue and orange sections."
Says Lilienthal: "These magnificent and mysterious trees [at the Katonah Museum of Art], whose tops are not even visible, dwarf the people and furniture below. In response to their super scale, I chose the ladder, a form with human scale and multiple readings: utilitarian ancient, mythic, and universal. The severe and stately trees support the bamboo ladders in an implied partnership; rooted and stable, the trees assist the ladders in their attempt to ascend. But ultimately, how do you mount an 80-foot Norwegian spruce tree? My answer was to climb it with imagination, affirming our connection to the natural world."
Lilienthal has used bamboo in her artistic practice for several years. In earlier installations, she aligned multiple painted, wrapped, or taped bamboo poles along a wall - works awash in color, but still relatable in size. However, her current exhibition at the Katonah Museum of Art is in keeping with the majesty, diameter, and spacing of the giant spruce trees.
Adding to the intrigue of this exhibition are enlarged photographs of the Garden's spruce trees displayed in the Museum's two west windows adjacent to the lone 30-foot ladder. On first impression, the images appear as reflections. In this way, Lilienthal reinforces the relationship between the ladders and the trees while further playing with the viewers' perceptions and expectations.
Historically, ladders carry rich and universal associations. In many faiths and fables, ladders are a symbol of ascent, of travel, of reaching upward. In modern times, they represent progress and growth, allowing us to reach higher than we would otherwise be able to go. Ladders symbolize elevation: from darkness to light, from ignorance to knowledge, and from the material to the spiritual. They are featured in art from prehistoric cave paintings to contemporary times. Jacob's Ladder, the metaphysical passage between heaven and earth, is mentioned in the first book of the Bible, and is represented in such disparate media as Renaissance paintings and popular
video games. There is a popular African-American spiritual, "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder," Eric Carl's beloved children's picture book, "Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me," and innumerable colloquialisms regarding "the ladder of success."
On view through April 21, 2014 during Museum hours: Sundays: 12-5pm; Tuesdays through Saturdays: 10am-5pm. Closed Mondays.

- Integrate production of finished products & intermediates in one place
Muttenz - 15 January 2013 – Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, today inaugurated a new production site for its Industrial & Consumer Specialties Business Unit (ICS), at the city of Coatzacoalcos, Mexico.
Hariolf Kottmann, Clariant CEO, was present on-site to start its operations and to reassure the commitment of the company to the industrial community in Mexico und Latin America: "With the opening of this site in Coatzacoalcos, Clariant will strengthen the competitive solutions for which we are known by our clients around the world. Mexico is a key player for our operations in Latin America, and this site will be an important reference for the international standards of innovation, sustainability and competitiveness that we want to consolidate within the region", commented Hariolf Kottmann.
With an investment of over 20 million dollars and an extension of four hectares, Clariant's new site in Mexico will produce several chemical specialties and technological solutions for different markets, including personal care, crop protection, metalworking, construction and painting.
"With the opening of our new Clariant's site in Mexico, we will integrate the production of both finished products and intermediates in one place. This will increase the effectiveness of our processes in the supply of raw materials and logistics costs, which will benefit our customers", mentioned Michael Willome, Global Head of Business Unit ICS. "We chose Coatzacoalcos as the best location for this new site in order to integrate the operations of our ICS business unit in one place, taking into account its strategic geographical position, in between the two sites producing raw materials in the country".
Clariant is an internationally active specialty chemical company, based in Muttenz, near Basel. The group owns over 100 companies worldwide and employed 22,149 employees on December 31, 2011. In the financial year 2011, Clariant recorded a turnover of around CHF 7.4 billion.

Student group brings Invisible War to campus
Monday evening I spoke at a film screening of the Invisible War at Clarion University. The local sexual assault program Passages, Inc. teamed up with a student group there to host the film and several other events in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). This event was the first in a week of on-campus events to increase awareness and educate the campus community about different aspects of sexual violence. In the past, I've discussed attending similar screenings, and want to emphasize once again how moving this film can be. It's rare on a college campus to have a crowd of people attend a film and stay for the full 3 hour program from start to finish. This happened at Clarion.
I am so impressed with the organizing work that young, dedicated feminists put into bringing this film to campus and using it as starting point for larger discussions. After the film concluded, we opened up the floor for questions from the audience. So many people volunteered questions about larger systems accountability and what a meaningful response to sexual violence could look like in an institutional setting. Several folks discussed the ways that system failures could touch civilian justice systems, including their own college's judicial process. These are the kinds of critical questions that are so important to building momentum in a social movement.
More and more, young activists are holding these important discussions. You should never stop questioning the systems that you know and observing the ones that touch your life, even in a distant way. Critical consciousness-raising has long been an important part of feminist activism. I've come to understand consciousness-raising as an activity distinct from awareness-raising. If you're holding an awareness campaign, you might be sharing some facts or talking points about an issue. If you are promoting critical consciousness, your goal is to spur others into action as a result of their new knowledge. Consciousness-raising promotes social change and I see it as an important component to good prevention work. Awareness…meh…I can take it or leave it. Consciousness gets this feminist all kinds of fired up.
Just as this group of students at Clarion took their SAAM message a step further by encouraging other students, staff, faculty, and community members to make important connections between systems, many other student activists across the country are doing some great work. That's why I was excited to see the report from SAFER in honor of what they like to call Sexual Assault ACTIVISM Month on student activists. Titled "Moving beyond blue lights and buddy systems: A national study of student anti-rape activists" is tells you from the get-go that we are way past relying on risk-reduction as our sole approach to prevention.
It was a very powerful film, and I love how you've taken the message
and tied it to system change!
