Due to our recent "organizational changes," I never got a chance to write a blog post about the fun and interesting community test event on January 28th, but you can see snapshots from the event on our new Project Wonderland Facebook page. At that event, we heard an update from University of Oregon researchers Kathryn Aten & Taryn Stanko, and we learned more about the scripting module from Morris Ford. Our last presenter, Ryan Babiuch, known as "jagwire" on the Wonderland forum, demonstrated a new particle capability. Ryan is a developer on the iSocial project and an undergraduate at the University of Missouri studying Computer Science and Information Technology. He has been a developer on the iSocial project since before the stable release of Wonderland 0.4. In today's guest blog post, Ryan describes the Particle Capability that he created and shows some examples.
One of the aspects of computer graphics that I've always found interesting is the notion of special effects driven by particle systems. Upon test driving the Marbelous module, I immediately recognized the particle effects on the marble. The marble emitted a red glow as it traveled down the track towards its destination. I had to know how it worked, why it did what it did, and if I could do it differently. After a bit of trying, I discovered it was quite easy to add a particle system programatically to a cell, but that wasn't enough. Why couldn't one add it to any cell at runtime? I was able to develop a cell capability which would allow particle style effects to any rendered cell.
After installing the Particle System Capability module, the Particle Capability can be added to an object (cell) by opening the Object Editor window and clicking on the add (+) button found on the Capabilities panel. The default particle system automatically appears in the world and the user will be presented with a set of properties to manipulate and configure the visual effects for that particular object. Any other additional objects in a world can also take advantage of their own particle capabilities.
Let's take a look at some examples. Here's a particle effect that looks like snow:
And here are the approximate settings for the snow effect (click on the image to see enlarged):
Here's an example of a particle effect that looks like fire. The effect has been applied to the telephone model:
To get this effect, you must change settings in three different panels.
All settings were tweaked a bit to make the effect look the way it should. The settings are a bit loose as every effect is different based on a certain amount of randomness. Believe it or not, I applied the snow to the phone as well. The idea with the snow is to invert the direction of emission from up to down (-1 on the y-axis) and then I raised the starting position sufficiently high enough above the avatar's head, as depicted in the snow settings screenshot.
In its current state, the capability is rather primitive. The system as a whole has basic configurability including changing colors, timing, speed, as well as position, rotation, and size. The properties interface still needs some polish and better organization. Finally, the current shape of each particle is a plain circle.
As functionality progresses, the plan is to add more configurability to the module to include the following:
- Configurable shape of the particles.
- Configurable shape of the emitters, or source of the particles.
- Configurable layers of particles to give the illusion of multiple of effects at once.
- Configurable environmental influences such as swarming and gravity for better natural simulations.
- Built in environmental settings for a world as a whole for weather simulations.
- The ability to add particle effects to one's avatar.
- Event triggers.
As you experiment with the Particle Capability, please send me feedback and be sure to post your screenshots on the Wonderland Facebook photos page along with the settings you used to create the effect.

Fall in Love with Your Bed this Fall
When you live in an old house that's full of drafts, like I do, you have to get creative if you want to stay warm in the winter. I like to head to bed early, bury myself in blankets and get lost in a good book. Since we spend almost a third of our lives in bed, shouldn't our bedding be beautiful … [Read more...]
Invite a New Dining Table to Dinner
If you've ever been stuck at the dreaded "kids' table" at Thanksgiving or been seated at a rickety card table stuck in to expand the main table, you know how important it is to have a dining room table that can welcome the entire family. After years of stressing over how I was going to fit guests … [Read more...]

Normally, I do just about everything I can to get out of grocery shopping. Even an empty refrigerator can't induce me to go to the market—that's why God invented carry-out, right?

"It's on me!"…"No, it's on ME!"… "No, I insist, it's…!"
Huge chuckles from the lunch crowd in the Chateau Marmont garden as feisty KATHERINE HEIGL and "Iron Man" director/actor JON FAVREAU – who'd been huddling over a new project – suddenly staged a battle royal over the check that got downright violent!
Said My Marmont Spy: "When the waiter brought the bill, Jon tried to grab it – but high-handed Heigl ripped it right out of his paw and shouted, 'It's on me!'
"But Favreau wouldn't hear of it.
"Snatching it back quickly, he recoiled in horror as Heigl, making a desperate dive for it, knocked over a glass full of water!"
Diners gasped and giggled at the table-drenching as waiters hustled in to sop up.
Finally realizing they were making a scene, Favreau relented – gallantly allowing Katherine to pick up the soaking wet check!

A hope turns to nightmare: a nuclear meltdown in Japan
Posted on Mar 14 2011 at 11:28:03 AM in Newspaper
On a televised news conference Prime Minister Naoto Kan described the ongoing crisis in his country as "the toughest Japan has ever encountered in 65 years since World War II". Recovery of the nation from the aftermath of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami is being hampered by a series of nuclear events. On Saturday people were stunned by a blast from unit 1 of Fukishima Daichi nuclear power plant. Apparently, it was a hydrogen explosion that resulted from the effort to reduce pressure from the said reactor vessel. There were also reports of failure of the cooling system of reactors of unit 2 and 3 also. Yesterday news came out of increased radioactivity within the Onagawa nuclear facility, located northeast of Fukushima.
"There is a possibility of a meltdown", said Toshihiro Bannai, director of the International Affairs Office of Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety, in a telephone interview with CNN.
Meltdown is a very serious nuclear accident that happens when a reactor lose its coolant. As a result the core overheats and liquefies. The melted material could potentially leak into the environment, releasing radioactive substances. Classic examples of meltdown are the Three Mile Island accident, referred as partial core melt and Chernobyl disaster.
Japan is financially endowed, yet deprived of natural resources. The nation had no option but to rely on imports. 80 percent of energy supply comes from overseas. But to secure economic stability Japan needed to diversify its sources. Nuclear power seemed an attractive solution. Why? Operational cost of a nuclear plant is less compared to conventional types.1-million kilowatt of the former requires 30 tons of fuel per year versus 1.4 million tons of oil needed to fuel the latter. Aside from that, in contrast to coal, natural gas and crude oil, nuclear plants produce no harmful emissions, such as nitrous oxide, sulfur oxides and carbon dioxide. Therefore, in the 1960's Japan began formulating a nuclear program. Tokai nuclear plant was the first, built in 1966. Presently 55 nuclear facilities are scattered all over its territory.

Molle II rufelman rucksack help
I got a Molle II rucksack rifleman backpack up at the gun and knife show this past month and it seemed to be a good buy. I picked out the one I liked and when I got home and started to pack thing into the bag, I get a strong smoke smell inside all the compartments on the pack. do you know if this is normal? or did I just grab the wrong bag at the show?
I don't know if the smoke smell is normal but I would take that any day over the moth ball smell most packs have. :)
Or the smell of dog urine bought a pack a while back from a yard sale didnt stink on the outside but in the inside it reeked to high heaven i have no clue how that worked tried washing it didnt help ended up trashing it.
Just embrace the smoke smell it could always be worse.
Maybe the vendor is a smoker.

UAB's Nelson named C-USA Special Teams Player of Week
Jamarcus Nelson week one heroics were still a hot topic two day after the fact.
The UAB junior was named the Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Week. He broke a Blazers record with 367 all-purpose yards in Saturday's overtime loss to Troy. Nelson had three touchdowns, including a 97 yard kickoff return, which is the longest in school history.
"Him playing as well as he did did not surprise any of us," UAB coach Garrick McGee said. "It may have surprised everybody else but we're at practice everyday and we see the commitment that he made to being one of the top receivers in this conference. It doesn't surprise me at all that he had a big day."
Nelson caught 10 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns against the Trojans.
East Carolina quarterback Shane Carden was named the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week and North Texas linebacker Zachary Orr earned defensive honors.
UAB plays LSU in Baton Rouge on Saturday. The game is set for 6 p.m. at Tiger Stadium.

My Little Sister
Ivan the Terror
Codes: mf, inc
I was eight when my baby sister Sandy was born. That same year my father died in a car accident.
When I turned eleven I learned how much fun it was to play with my cock. I started staring in the armholes of the developed girls at school and masturbating several times a day. I started having these wonderful dreams, when I researched them on the 'net, I learned that they were normal, called "Wet Dreams" and didn't worry. In fact I really started to look forward to them.
Every night for two years I would wake up every morning feeling wonderful, vague memories of a nice warmness wrapped around my cock. My mother never complained of messy sheets nor did I ever have to pull the sheets off my bed in the middle of the night due to wet spots. This was unusual, but since it was nice not to make messes, I didn't worry about it.
One night when I was thirteen I figured out what was going on. I woke up with the strangest feeling. My cock was warm and wet. I flipped on the light and threw back the covers. My baby sister was busy sucking on my cock! She was expertly alternating between licking up and down my hard cock and sucking the whole salami down. I could just stare, it felt so wonderful. Before I realized it, suddenly I came. She slurped the head into her mouth and drank down all my cum. Not a drop was spilled. She smacked her lips, then looked up at me, bowed her eyes, then said, "Thank you Mark," and scampered out of the room.
I just laid there in shock. She was quite the expert and had obviously been doing that for a long time. I didn't know what to think. I had been taught that it was wrong, but she didn't seem to have any problems from it, and would be traumatized if she was stopped. At least that is what I told myself as I drifted off to sleep.
For the next three years it continued. Every night she would sneak into my room, slip up under the covers and suck me off. Now that I knew what was happening I would wake up about half of the time. Whenever I woke up she would finish, smile up at me, bow her eyes, then say, "Thank you Mark," and scamper off back to bed.
Sandy started filling out. She was only eight, but she was already five feet tall and she had the best looking legs and ass I have ever seen. I guess all the hormones she had been ingesting over the years had their effect. And a very nice effect it was too. With all the sports she was in, the long blond hair, innocent face, and developing hips and nips, she was a knockout. I would await awake every night waiting for her. I started waiting with the light on, blanket folded back, and a hard on, which by now was around 8 inches. It didn't faze her a bit; she would prance in, naked as a jailbird, crawl between my legs and slurp up my hard cock.
One night as she started crawling up between my legs I spoke for the first time, "Sandy, flip around." She looked at me for a moment, then crawled up and straddled my chest, bending down and slurping up my cock. Her perfect ass was right in front of my face, her bare pussy was actually moist! I leaned forward and took a lick. It was delicious. She didn't miss a beat, but she moaned and pressed her sumptuous pussy down. As I felt that beautiful ass, I licked up and down her mons, occasionally wrapping my lips around her clit and sucking. Suddenly she froze and started quivering. I realized she was cumming which made me blast off. Even while she was orgasming she slurped up all my spunk. Gasping, she lay there for a minute, then got up, said, "Wow! Thank you Mark!" and headed back to bed.
The next night, she came into the room, kneeled next to me with her head bowed and said, "Mark, can we please do it like last night? That was so much better than when I do it back in my room."
That started me thinking, she is begging me?!!? Wow! How can I use this? Phrase it like I am granting her a favor. "Sandy, you have been a good sister, you know that is why I have been letting you have my man cream every night. Don't you?"
"Yes," she said with downcast eyes.
"I was very angry when I found you had been taking my man cream without asking," I started, and she was suddenly a little teary.
"But I need it and it tastes so good!" she sobbed. Ahh, perfect.
"But you didn't ask. I love you little sis, so I have been letting you have my man cream. Now that you have asked, you may have it anytime you want, as long as you are a good sister and do what I say."
"Anytime?" she said eagerly.
"Yes, anytime we are alone. Now get over here."
She eagerly straddled my chest again and presented her gorgeous ass to me. I grabbed her butt cheeks and giving them a squeeze, pulled her pussy down on my tongue. I slobbered up and down that delicious pussy, sucking on the hard clit every other lick. In no time at all she tensed up and quivered as she came. I shot a huge load into her practiced mouth. She laid there gasping for a minute, then sat up and climbed off of me. She bowed her head and said, "Thank you Mark". Then she scampered off to bed like usual.
The next day after school she came into my room. "Mark, could I have some cream please?" Since mom wouldn't be home for another couple of hours, I replied, "Of course! Why don't you milk me while I do my homework?"
She crawled under my desk and worked on my pants. It took her a while but she finally got them unfastened and managed to get my cock out, instantly slurping it down. What a way to do math homework! Sitting at a desk with a hottie blonde blowing me underneath! The newness of the situation had be cumming into her wonderful mouth within a few minutes.
That established the pattern, for the next few months she would suck me off after school and then we would 69 after mom went to bed. She continued to rapidly fill out. I would come up behind her and cup her beautiful new breasts and play with them. She would just giggle and sigh then let me play. I would tell her that she was being a very good sister.
When she came in and straddled me one night, I said, "Sandy, I need to do something, it might hurt for a little bit, Okay?"
With complete trust she said, "Okay." And started to slurp my cock down.
Taking two fingers, I positioned them at the entrance to her pussy, and slowly pushed them all the way in. I could feel her hymen break. "Ow," she exclaimed!
I left my fingers in there, slowly rubbing the rough spot in the front of her pussy and stroking her clit with my thumb. Soon she orgasmed. I let her finish sucking me off, then rest for a bit. I waited until she thanked me and left before I headed for the bathroom to wash the cherry blood off of my fingers.
I started fingering her as part of the nightly routine. Soon she was oohing and aahing when I slid my finger into her beautiful pussy. A month or so later, soon after her ninth birthday, came my chance. Mom had to go out of town and left me in charge.
As soon as she was gone, Sandy and I stripped off our clothes. She was perfect. Already around 5'4", she was approaching B cup size and had the perfect figure. She was kneeling down getting ready to suck me when I told her there was something I wanted to try. I sat her on the couch, then lifted her knees so that they were on her shoulders.
Curious, she said, "What are you doing Mark?"
I replied, "I am going to fuck you."
"Ooh really? I heard about that. Several of my friends get fucked all the time by their dads or brothers. Sounds like fun."
I lined my cock up against her dripping pussy and slowly slid in. Sandy was thrusting up at me saying, "That feels so great. Do it more!" As I bottomed out my 8", her pussy muscles started pulling and contracting on my cock. It was wonderful. I slid out, then rammed back in, and then repeated. She was whispering, "More!" with every stroke. Soon she shrieked and came, arching her back and quivering, which did wonderful things to her new tits. I pasted her insides with man cream.
She took to fucking like she took to everything else. During the day we would fuck like rabbits. Every night we would 69 so she could get her dose of man cream. We kept that schedule for the next six months. What was amazing is that she kept growing. She was 5'10", perfect C cup tits that I couldn't get enough of, the body of a supermodel, and she wasn't even ten yet!
My birthday was approaching, only a few days away. After a really nice missionary style fuck, Sandy asked what I wanted for my 18th birthday. Leaning down, I gave her a French kiss. We had never kissed before, even with 9 years of sexual activity. She responded with vigor. When we finished I said, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
With that we added necking at every free moment to our repertoire. I would take her to movies and to dinner, no one guessed that this wonderful woman with me was only 9 years old! She looked and acted twice that. We would still fuck as much as possible, which was several times a day since it was summer break. Every night she would still sneak into my bedroom where she would slurp up a load of cum. We would then cuddle for a while.
That fall I went to the local community college so I could live at home. Sandy's 10th birthday came. She seemed to stabilize at 5'11", with a D cup. Except for her innocent face, she looked like she was 20 years old. All the sport teams were actively recruiting her, she was at least a foot taller than the other girls, and she was well coordinated to boot. She was sleeping with me full time now. Mom, ever the naive one, said "Oh how cute. I am amazed at how well you two get along." I worked to further her delusion by saying, "I love my little sister and want to protect her." No lies there!
The night of her 10th birthday, just after she slurped down my cum, I asked what she wanted for her birthday, and she said, "To be yours forever."

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
How do I get past Jive Drive?
I don't have trouble with diving past the cholos but i keep geting killed when Lance and I fight the cholos and Lance just keeps getting killed!
never_know - 8 years ago
Top Voted Answer
Well....me too...
I Had a very bad time on that mission....
Well here's a tip....
Always look around.....and shot the engine of the car near them,..so they...BOOOOOOM!!(explode)
And then they die....
Here's another one...
Shoot them body not the head and when the someone is chasing you which i mean that there chasing you using cars...shot the tires or the engine and if there car is already burning(cholo's cars not your's) shoot the others....
Hope it help....=)
darkdric808 - 7 years ago
Aim, shoot, and hope like hell you have good aim dude! And another tip, shoot the drivers side of the on coming cars, hopefully the driver will die and the car will crash and burn. have fun.
Murdoc442 - 8 years ago
Basically you got to have good aim, good guns(for the second part which I'm not spoiling) and good skills at avoiding getting shot (also for the second part of the mission)
Dogman1227 - 8 years ago
Use the armor cheat code(up,down,left,right,squqre,square,l,r)
Jared25599 - 8 years ago
Lol I did this mission from the first try. The cholos were attacking just me, not Lance.
Ellessar96 - 8 years ago
The second part of the mission (when killing the cholos) use a gun that can kill in 1 shot
Chasity_17 - 8 years ago
I did it on my 3rd try, Just keep shooting and shooting, if you have good aim try and hit their wheels.
JDayXtreme - 7 years ago
I have some difficulties to this level as well, I think the hardest part is to keep Lance from getting killed after the car chase, it hurts, because, I failed because I get busted
Anyway, I thinks you can use some of the cheat likes never wanted or armor and health cheat
Go to the link for the cheat : www.gamefaqs.com/portable/psp/code/933097.html
I hope I helped, because I got the same problem as you are.
TomKaspar774 - 7 years ago
First, you do a cheat in the health and armor or find it. Then use another cheat or just buy or find a machine gun and stubby shotgun. then on the battlefield, use first the machine gun to kill the cholos. Then when your armor is gone, use the stubby shotgun for stronger hits. Trust me! I used this technique and it works. the only thing I cant help you with is aim, where Lance is going, how many cholos are there and where will the cholos will apper
stephentejada - 7 years ago
Well man...just keep shooting and when your car"s health is going to explode,,,use health cheat (up,down,left,right,circle,circle,L1,R1)and put the cheat like a maniac until the last ramp...don"t put the cheat when the mission start because your health will become less...
NaNo_HaCkEr - 7 years ago
Before you try that mission, use the cheat "Weapon Set 2" to get 5 rockets for a rocket launcher and keep putting in that code until you have about 100 rockets then blow them to bits!!!!!
wickedcrazy72 - 7 years ago
easy part 1 dont stop shooting !part 2 have 95 rockets or 7000 minigun ammo and WATCH OUT FOR LANCE !!!!!!!
readzie - 6 years ago
I recommend you use the minigun.first of all just run ahead and take out all cholos.Then run back and takeout the other cholos.Just hope that lance doesn't die and that you don't die.

This week - 16 November 2007
Click here to watch the show...
Tune in this Sunday for the second part of our fascinating look at the history of Irish Sign Language. Sean Herlihy presents the show and we have more interesting facts from Senan.
Last time we left off we covered the near devastating effects of Oralism on ISL through the ban on sign language in the schools. This week we look at how ISL survived 40 years of Oralism. We see how the ban on signing in schools led to a generational difference in the language of older generation and younger generations of Deaf people.
From interviews with Stan Foran and John Bosco Conama we find out that in 1979 that the planned International Year of the Disabled for 1981 was the catalyst for the setting up of the Deaf Action Group. This was a committee that campaigned for rights for the Deaf Community and later became the Irish Deaf Society.
We see that in the 1960's and 1970's research in America showed that ASL and other national Sign Languages were separate languages with their own structure and grammar. This motivated Irish Deaf people and they realised ISL was a unique language and they had a right to use it.
In the 1980's ISL got back into schools and around the country Deaf Units began to be set up. This led to regional differences in ISL. From Cathy McCormack we find out how mainstreaming can be difficult both while at school and later when trying to fit in with the Deaf community without having ISL.
We look at the ongoing campaign for the recognition of ISL and how although it has recognition in the Education Act, the next step is for constitutional Recognition.

Expatriates come flying for NRI Sabha election
The high cost of air travel and stay in Punjab notwithstanding, non-resident Indians (NRIs) have packed flights to come home to elect the next NRI Sabha president on Sunday.punjab Updated: Jan 26, 2013 00:57 IST
The high cost of air travel and stay in Punjab notwithstanding, non-resident Indians (NRIs) have packed flights to come home to elect the next NRI Sabha president on Sunday.
For the first time in sabha's 15 years of existence, the NRIs will have to be present physically to cast vote, while right of their nominees to participate in the process was abolished in a constitutional amendment in the general-house meeting of October 28, 2012.
International directors, who earlier had five votes, have been denied the privilege. Stage is set for nearly 18,000 NRIs to pick the winner from a triangular contest between former presidents Kamaljeet Singh Hayre and Pritam Singh Naurangpur, and former vice-president Jasvir Singh Gill. Their overseas supporters have reached Punjab.
British member of parliament Virendra Sharma, a native of Jalandhar, flew down from Ealing to Jalandhar on Thursday evening especially for the election. What better proof of enthusiasm in the campaign.
"I turned up to support Hayre in elections, since he is a capable of leading the NRIs and getting their grievances redressed," said Sharma. "The elections should be free and fair. I will stay in Punjab for a week before flying back to the United Kingdom."
Punjabi all over the world had keen eyes on the election, said Sharma. Kenny Virk, settled in California in the US for the past 22 years, has no regret that the trip to Punjab cost him more than $2,000 (Rs 1.07 lakh). He'll take it for the chance to elect the right man as sabha chief. Virk runs a petrol-filling station in the US.
Sandeep Singh Bains of Vancouver in Canada has brought 20 other supporters from Canada and sent them to various parts of the Doaba region to cast votes. "It's our duty to ensure maximum participation of the NRI voters in the elections," said Bains. "We want the new president to ensure resolution of our property disputes." The cost of travel and stay in Punjab will be around 3,000 Canadian dollars for each member of his group.
"I usually visit India in every winter. Now I clubbed my trip in a manner to be able to meet my family and friends as well as participate in the election," said Paramjit Singh Thala of New York. A section of candidates have also paid for the air travel arrangements of the voters and their "comfortable" stay in hotels.

By Pete Pappas
GolfWRX Staff Writer
The FedExCup Playoffs continue this week with the 2012 Deutsche Bank Championship, and when the last shot is fired Labor Day evening at TPC Boston only 70 players will be left standing.
The Deutsche Bank Championship is the second of four events in the PGA Tour playoffs, and has produced five different winners since the tournament became part of the playoffs in 2007. Past winners of the event include Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh, Steve Stricker, Charley Hoffman, and the defending champion and 2012 U.S. Open winner Webb Simpson.
The FedExCup leaders will tee off together and marquee groups battling in Beantown (with their current rankings in the FedExCup) are Nick Watney (1), Brandt Snedeker (2), and Tiger Woods (3).
Last week Watney turned his season around, going from two-down to three-up in a four-hole swing to surge past Sergio Garcia on the final day and win The Barclays (and with that victory, Watney leaped 48 spots to his current first place in the FedExCup standings).
Woods, on the other hand, suffered through another troublesome and increasingly common weekend collapse. Nevertheless — he'll try to become the second two-time winner of the Deutsche Bank Championship (Singh won in 2004 and 2008). And to that aim Woods comes into TPC Boston healthy.
"The back's good," Woods said at a press conference this week, referring to the lower back injury he suffered last week while sleeping on a soft hotel mattress.
2012 PGA Championship winner Rory McIlroy (4), Zach Johnson (5) and Jason Dufner (6) is another group worth watching.
McIlroy has only one previous FedExCup playoff appearance (finishing T37 here in 2010). But the young Irishman's 2012 campaign has been as impressive as anyone's on Tour. To go along with his second career major victory at the PGA Championship, McIlroy also won The Honda Classic and twice finished runner-up at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship and the Wells Fargo Championship.
Dufner also comes into Boston with two victories this year — the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and HP Byron Nelson Championship. And the native Clevelander also boasts eight top-10 finishes in this season.
"I had a good run in the regular season to get to this point, and I'm excited about the last three events, playing some great golf courses, against some obviously great fields," Dufner said.
And after skipping last week's playoff opener Dufner said he is fresh and focused.
"I feel good after the week off," he said. "I had a nice week at home, just resting, and getting ready for this stretch."
Other star-studded groupings include Bubba Watson (7), Dustin Johnson (8), and Carl Pettersson (9); Matt Kuchar (11), Hunter Mahan (12), and Keegan Bradley (13); Luke Donald (14), Justin Rose (15), and Stricker (15); and Mickelson (17), Ernie Els (18), and Rickie Fowler (19).
The top 70 players on the FedExCup points list after the Deutsche Bank Championship advance to the BMW Championship next week. And the top five after the BMW control their own destiny. They can win the FedExCup with a victory in the final event, the Tour Championship presented by Coca Cola — which turns the heat up on the 98 players in the field this week to jockey as close as possible to that magical five spot.
And to add just a little more drama to stakes this week, the 18th green at TPC Boston has been redesigned specifically for the Deutsche Bank Championship. Scoring will be more difficult with the green raised about two feet. And subtle changes to the surrounding area add a risk-reward dimension that could result in the tournament being won or lost on a final shot.

- goo辞書 Contains J->E, E->J and J-J dictionaries.
- ALC / 英次郎 on the web J->E and E->J, useful example sentences but does not give readings or furigana.

Berkshire Playwrights Lab Announces New Play by Jessica Provenz and Schedule Changes
Berkshire Playwrights Lab announced that its staged reading of James Demarse's new play, Existing Privilege, that was to be directed by Matthew Penn on August 8 will now take place on August 22, directed by Joe Cacaci, and with the new title, Ceasefire.
On August 8, the company will now present Jessica Provenz's new play, Andromeda, directed by Tom Bloom. Both of these performances will take place at 7:30pm at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center (14 Castle Street, Great Barrington, Mass.). There is no charge for admission, however, Berkshire Playwrights Lab suggests a $10.00 donation to help offset its programming costs. For reservations, call 413.528.0100 or visit the Mahaiwe box office in person. For more information, see www.berkshireplaywrightslab.org.
In Andromeda, playwright Jessica Provenz asks the question: What is it like to be the prettiest girl in the room? At once, loved and hated, adored and abhorred. She tells the story of legendary sculptor Daniel Chester French, who for his final masterpiece, selected Andromeda, a girl sacrificed for being the most beautiful alive. The play travels from Stockbridge, MA to Ethiopia, from ancient castles to corporate law firms, where a mythical princess, a 1920s maid, and a modern day attorney are plagued by the curse of beauty.
"Andromeda is one of the most ambitious plays we've come across, owing to its complex theatrical structure and imaginative characterizations," said Berkshire Playwrights Lab Co-Artistic Director Joe Cacaci. "Inspired in part by actual events and people, some with deep Berkshire roots, Jessica's play bridges the ages by weaving the seemingly unrelated tales of three young women into a poignant, yet humorous story that everyone can relate to and enjoy."
Berkshire Playwrights Lab presented Jessica Provenz's play Better than Chocolate in 2010 under the direction of Matthew Penn. She is currently writing the Broadway-bound musical Matchbook for The Araca Group (Wicked) with composer/lyricists Dan Lipton and David Rossmer (Rated P). Her plays include True Art showcased at The Directors Company starring Alysia Reiner (Sideways); A Wake on Chappaquiddick developed with Amy Ryan at Cape Cod Theatre Project, Irish Rep, and New Georges; Truth or Consequences workshopped with T.R. Knight at the DR2; and Sweet Perfume showcased at The Barrow Group.
Provenz developed for Killer Films the half-hour single-camera idea Married in a Year, which she pitched with showrunner Betsy Borns to networks. She sold the original screenplay idea Lone Man on Campus to Disney/Touchstone with Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder (creators of Ringer), who penned the screenplay. Her short film Nothing Happened played at 30+ festivals including Williamstown and Berkshire Film Festivals. ??She is a two-time recipient of the Lecomte du Noüy Award for emerging playwrights and a member of the Dramatists Guild, as well as a former playwright-in-residence at Juilliard and a graduate of Northwestern.
Tom Bloom's directing credits include productions at Berkshire Playwrights Lab, Abingdon Theatre Company and Pearl (NYC), Capital Rep (Albany), Theatre-By-The-Sea (NH), Caldwell Theatre (FL), American Premiere Stage (Boston), and others. Also an actor, he has performed Broadway in Cyrano, Henry IV, and Racing Demon and Off Broadway at Playwrights Horizons, New York Shakespeare Festival, Circle in the Square, Theatre For a New Audience, Roundabout, Classic Stage, Lincoln Center, Manhattan Theatre Club, and Pearl, as well as regionally at Yale Rep, Shakespeare Theatre (DC), Baltimore Center Stage, Hartford Stage, Williamstown Theatre Festival, and many more. His film/TV credits include Thomas Crown, Joshua, Emperor's Club, In Lieu of Flowers, Best Thief in the World, Max Bickford, Damages, Wonderland, Ed, Law & Order: SVU, Criminal Intent, and The Jury.
James Demarse's Ceasefire is the story of an American diplomat who tries to negotiate peace in an African republic while he simultaneously tries to negotiate the travails of his troubled marriage. "The play excites us because it is the story of a man who is trying to juggle both the public and the personal. In the process he discovers that his own government is playing a complex game of 'cat and mouse' intelligence," said Berkshire Playwrights Lab Co-Artistic Director Matthew Penn. "Espionage, marital challenge-what could be better?"
James Demarse is an actor, director, and playwright based in New York City. He founded and was the artistic director for seven years of the 42nd Street Workshop, a non-profit theatre company in New York that has a membership of about two hundred actors, writers, and directors. He ran the playwriting module and acted as dramaturg for all readings and productions. He has also had Equity showcase productions of his plays in New York, including Knock 'Em Dead at the Image, Breaking Through the Clutter at the 42nd Workshop, three one-act plays under the title of Urban Disorders at the Company of Characters, Easy Street at the Quaigh, and A Dress Unknown at the West Bank. He has also had rehearsed staged readings of Black Duck Bay, Dying For You, Orange Bees at 42nd Workshop, George Washington's Farewell to his Mother at the Actor's Studio PD UNIT, and Violent Child at Ensemble Studio Theatre. He has performed on and off Broadway, at regional theatres, and for film and television. He is a member of Actors Studio, Ensemble Studio Theatre, and Dramatists Guild of America.
In addition to being co-artistic director of Berkshire Playwrights Lab, Joe Cacaci is
the founding director of East Coast Arts, where he produced twenty world premiere plays over seven seasons, and the producing director, with Dan Lauria, of The Playwrights Kitchen Ensemble in L.A. from 1993 to the present, where over 500 new plays have been given staged readings in the Monday Night Reading Series. He co-produced David Mamet's Obie-winning play, Edmond, at the Provincetown Playhouse. His own plays have been produced at The Public Theater, The Coconut Grove Theatre (where he also directed), The Long Wharf Theater, and at The Alley Theatre in Houston. He has directed at The Westport Playhouse and commercially in Los Angeles. He has also written numerous made-for-television movies and co-created the CBS prime time series The Trials of Rosie O'Neill. He was executive producer (show runner) of two prime time series: Showtime's The Hoop Life and CBS' The Education of Max Bickford, which starred Richard Dreyfuss and Marcia Gay Harden. He directed the PBS pilot Cop Shop, which starred Richard Dreyfuss and Blair Brown. Currently, he teaches television writing in the graduate program of the Film School at Columbia University.

|750 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Our vacation property is a wonderful adobe-style home on 12 private acres just south of Santa Fe. For those who want to enjoy both "the city different" and the wonderful high desert country, this home is ideal. Just off of the Turquoise Trail, a Scenic Byway, the property is close to Galisteo, Cerrillos and the old mining town of Madrid. Just 4 miles away, on the road to town, one can enjoy the best New Mexican breakfasts and lunches at the San Marcos Cafe while watching hens, turkeys and peacocks roam the property.
Our casita is cozy and carefully designed in the traditional local adobe style with hand-plastered interior walls, beautiful viga ceilings, and a wonderful kiva fireplace. The interior photos of the casita were taken by a professional photographer, so they are terrific, but we'd like to emphasize our casita is a cozy 700 square feet total. With amazing sunset views of the surrounding Cerrillos Hills, the casita is nestled into the landscape with 360 degrees of complete privacy.
The landscape is completely natural, with two large sand-lined arroyos (dry creek beds) on two of our property borders. Tranquility, fresh air, unforgettable sunsets and clear starry nights are everyday treats, and the sound of coyotes howling in the distance make this a very special and unique place.
The casita sleeps two in the queen bedroom, one in the single bedroom, and two on the double futon in the living room. A picnic table, hammock and lounge chair are outside on the slate patio. A stone fireplace is available for outdoor barbeques, and a pile of firewood can be used outdoors or indoors in the traditional fireplace. A large bathroom has a shower, and a washer/dryer. The kitchen has all appliances. Linens, towels, extra blankets, etc. are available. CD player/radio with CDs, a telephone (but no Internet) and only a few TV channels on a small TV. Games, puzzles, books and kids' toys are in the small bedroom. Portable air conditioner and area fans available. Internet access in town.
In 25 minutes you can be in downtown Santa Fe. Bandolier and Petroglyph National Monuments, the Santa Fe Opera, and the Pecos, Sangre de Christo, Sandia and Jemez mountains are all nearby. The mountains offer hiking and fishing in summer, and skiing in winter (Ski Santa Fe in the Sangre de Christos; and ski the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque). Art fairs and the famous Zozobra Festival take place all summer in town. Albuquerque is an hour to the southwest. The longest tram in the world climbs up the Sandia Mountains, which lie east of Albuquerque.
Christmas is very nice, the town is decorated with lots of candelarias. A special thing to do all year long is to visit a nearby pueblo when they are having a feast or celebration day. There will be dancing, arts, food and other traditional Native American culture to be enjoyed.
The neighborhood around the casita features beautiful New Mexico high desert scenery, with amazing sunsets and views of surrounding mountain ranges. Built low in the landscape, it feels like no one else is around. All adjacent properties are at least 12 acres so there are neighbors, but lots of space in between. Explore our own 12 acres as well as walk in the neighborhood and adjacent properties. Our land encompasses two arroyos which are great for a walk.
The Lone Butte grocery store and gas station is a few miles away on Hwy 14, as is the San Marcos Cafe for all of your breakfast, lunch, hardware and feed store needs!
Climate: cold (20°-40°F) in winter, and as warm as 80°-100°F in summer, but it cools down at night and often there are short thunderstorms in the late afternoon in July and August. The air is very dry and the altitude is approximately 7,000 ft. Spring and fall are ideal seasons to visit. Skiing nearby in winter.
Access: fly into Albuquerque International Airport and rent a car; drive north on highway 25. Or fly into Santa Fe County Municipal Airport. Amtrak stops in nearby Lamy.
Getting around: a car is needed and a navigation device/GPS is helpful. Mapping ahead of time is a good idea as well. All nearby roads are dirt roads in good condition; local weather conditions apply.
Communication: cellular phone service can be good or bad depending on your provider, but the house has a landline telephone for local and long-distance calls. No high-speed Internet is available in this area as of yet.
We are available for contact via phone, email, texts, before, during and after stay.
Please sign our guest book!
George and I have lived in Los Angeles for 20+ years. We now live in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. We have two children, ages 14 and 24, and we work in international education and other creative fields.
We enjoy sharing our homes with visitors to the wonderful cities of San Miguel de Allende and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Our home in San Miguel is a spacious, traditional Mexican-style casa, with a large veranda and yard, and an adjacent casita.
We rent them separately or together.
Our traditional Santa Fe-style adobe casita is located on 13 acres of high desert, 30 minutes southeast of Santa Fe.
Like many of our guests, we love to explore the world, and hosting people from all over the world enriches our own experience. We always provide attention that is both professional and personal.
George and Julie Kalmar purchased this house in 1991
We each have a history of living in, or visiting New Mexico since 1990. We love New Mexico and its unique aspects: cultures, landscapes and cuisines.
Beautiful high desert countryside, privacy, quiet, lots of stars at night.
We loved the casita! Julie made us feel very welcome and provided us with lots of great information about the Santa Fe area. The casita is nicer than we expected and was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The location is a bit out of town but was perfect for us as we were seeking a more peaceful and serene setting. We will definitely be back.
Beautiful home for a small family.
We enjoyed the quiet mornings, the beautiful scenery and convenience to Santa Fe. Couldn't ask for a better spot to have a get-away. Hosts are super communicative and caring. Would recommend!
Excellent property and a great home base to explore the greater Santa Fe area. You will love the gorgeous sunsets and amazing stars!
My family and I loved this getaway and wished we had stayed longer. The house is well furnished and fully equipped, very comfortable and pleasant. The veranda is a great spot for morning coffee or meals to watch the sun go down. The silence and star-filled nights were a real treat.
This is a great place to stay when you want to come back after a day of sightseeing or activities. Totally beautiful and quiet area to give you a feel for the high desert. We have stayed in N.M. many times and Julie was the best person to rent from that we have ever experienced. The house was just the right size for us and the kitchen was well equipped and easy to work in. I highly recommend this casita for those wishing to get away from the city , yet having easy access to downtown Santa Fe 30-40 minutes away.
We had a great time as Casita Kalmar. The place is almost completely surrounded by high desert and the views were gorgeous, especially at sunrise and sunset. It is very quiet, usually you only hear the numerous birds and occasional sheep, horse or dog. At night you really can hear coyotes howling.
The house itself had everything we needed for the four of us and was very cozy. There is no TV, but basic low speed internet connectivity was available. We did not have cell phone coverage at the house (from 3 different carriers), but we did in Santa Fe. The owner was responsive to questions and provided lots of information.
Would love to stay again sometime.
A two-night stay requires an additional $75 cleaning fee.

Dewayne Dedmon came to the Sixers with a short NBA résumé but a definitive reputation.
"I bring energy. I rebound the ball and I block shots. That is what I came here to do," Dedmon said. "I am pretty satisfied. I feel like I came here and did what I was supposed to do and we have another one on Friday and I am going to try and do it again."
Dedmon played 14 minutes against Charlotte on Wednesday, his first game action after signing a 10-day contract on Tuesday. He grabbed seven rebounds and blocked two shots in the Sixers' 95-92 win over the Bobcats.
It was just one game but Dedmon impressed his new coach.
"You could see what he was built to be and it is true, he can run," Brett Brown said. "He is mobile and there is a tenacity and a toughness, and from a technical side you see that he understands NBA rules with verticality. Him going straight up making them take tough shots over bodies. He didn't come down and put people on the line."
The Sixers have been shorthanded with backup big men recently. Lavoy Allen has been sidelined the past three games with a right calf strain and the team waived Daniel Orton last week.
Dedmon was part of a bench effort that produced 18 points and 14 rebounds. Those numbers might sound modest but the reserves' impact went beyond the stat sheet.
"The bench played hard. We pressed a lot and we got rewarded for it," Brown said. "We were on the floor quite a bit diving for loose balls. I thought the bench came in and really energized us. They earned their paychecks tonight.
"I still have confidence that bench can be a bomb squad. They can come in and be a wrecking crew and create energy and eventually get us running."

How to Manage a Group Project: Some General Advice
March 2, 2013
Now I know what you're all thinking: Project management? Boring. I hate working in groups. What does this have to do with atheism/skepticism? My response: Boring? Sometimes, but you can make it fun. Working in groups? It's going to happen at some point. What does this have to do with atheism/skepticism? You have to work in groups if you want to set up a cool event, like Darwin week, or a fundraiser, run a conference. Plus, many readers of this blog are students and this could apply to school life as well.
My education has provided me with many opportunities to work on group projects, I've learned a few things that I think could be useful as general tips to working in/managing a group.
1) Be mindful of who is on the project team
It's important that the people you are working with are ones that are committed to working on the project. If you are setting up an event, get the people who are the most passionate about the event's topic. This will act as a great motivator to ensure everyone pitches in.
Of course, there will be projects you'll run into where you don't have a choice in the members. In this case, identifying everyone's strength and weaknesses early on is important. Have someone who is good at cold calling? Get them on the phone to talk to the people the project needs to get in touch with to move forward. Have someone who is really organized? Have them organizing all your documents/emails, etc.
2) Don't let issues with individuals go unaddressed
Going through life without experiencing a group project in which no one is ever causing an issue is a rare thing. There will come times when someone is not doing their job, or is creating a rift among the group. Do not let these issues go unaddressed. Though it's never easy to talk to someone when such an issue exists, it's better to address it before it gets out of hand. Jeopardizing the group and the project as a whole. Following up on this point:
3) If you're the project manager, learn how to give constructive criticism
So you find yourself faced with a group member not working as well as they should. The next step is to talk to them, but how do you go about doing that? Be constructive in your criticism. Telling someone they are doing a bad job, with no reasons given, will lead to a confrontation. It's best to lace the criticism with some compliments. E.g. I think you are doing a very good job with X, but we would like to see some improvement in Y. Tell them exactly what you are looking for in terms of improvement.
4) Project manager/leader does not equal dictator
The top-down management approach, especially when you are talking about a group of students working together on a project/planning an event/setting up a fundraiser, doesn't always work well. Being the manager means taking direction from everyone in the group, and giving direction back. A two-way street. As discussed in point 1), learn the strengths and weaknesses of everyone, including your own. Get people working to their strengths, offer assistance as needed. The main job as the manager is to ensure everyone is staying focused and on task.
These are just a few pointers that, I hope, will make those group projects just a bit easier and more enjoyable.

Re: Dan DeWitt: Built from the ground up | column Dec. 15
Wood is good for Chinsegut
I read Dan DeWitt's column about Chinsegut director Kristin Wood in total disbelief. Kristin Wood has been the perfect director for Chinsegut with her dedication and knowledge that she happily shares. She has inspired a small army of volunteers and many children with her enthusiasm and vision of what Chinsegut is today.
When I first moved to Brooksville, I couldn't even pronounce "Chinsegut," but I soon wore a path to it like many others for its diverse events and programs — Pioneer Day, Welcome Back Songbirds, Reptile and Amphibian Festival, Birding 101, Archery, Map and Compass, Incredible Edibles, Bat and Owl Prowls (how cool is that!), etc. And guess what? There were kids at all of them, having a blast and learning about plants, critters, the past and the future.
I really don't get what Anne Glick is talking about. Her analogy about the principal and the classroom teacher is illogical. Without a teacher there's no need for a principal. Kristin has been a fantastic facilitator in organizing, scheduling and running all of Chinsegut's events, and her outreach to the community has been immense. I believe Kristin understands what a true gem Chinsegut is and the importance to inform people about it. The more people learn what Chinsegut is all about, the more they will love it and want to protect and preserve it.
I suspect Anne Glick has never been to Chinsegut and therefore doesn't appreciate the great resource we have here. Maybe it's easy to make unilateral decisions from Tallahassee so far away.
Anne Glick has done a great disservice to Chinsegut and the residents of Florida. I am extremely disgusted with the handling of this matter.

Shih Tzus vs. self-interested featherbedders
Someone needs to be blamed
There's not a person I know who isn't outraged over the Shih Tzus incident. Clearly, the Hernando County Animal Services leader Liana Teague and director of public safety Mike Nickerson need to be fired, at the very least.
Where is County Administrator David Hamilton? Why hasn't he approached the Hernando County Commission to either start over and or disband the present situation at Animal Services? The board members should be interviewed and quoted for their comment and plan of action: Dave Russell, Jeff Stabins, John Druzbick, James Adkins, Wayne Dukes. If they don't want to act because they're too lazy and self-interested, maybe we ought to euthanize their individual pets.
Richard Silvani and staff at PetLuv nonprofit spay and neuter clinic in Brooksville do a fantastic job and have given more joy to the residents of our county than can be expressed. The stuffed shirts (Hamilton, Stabins, Adkins, Dukes, Druzbick, Russell) should get an education from PetLuv or the American Kennel Club! But the only picture I see is pigs eating at the trough.

Re: Security for the School Board
Let School Board pay for security
I read with interest the article about the School Board needing "armed security" at its meetings. Is this the start? Will the supervisor of elections be next, or will the tax collector deem it necessary? How about the board of health?
I personally feel if the School Board thinks it needs "armed security," let it have it, but let it pay for it out of its pockets and not use taxpayer dollars, which are to be used for the education of our children.
Next year the School Board will be coming to the taxpayers for money to fill the budget shortfall again. This is not a necessary expense. Stop wasting money.
Bruce Schmitt, Spring Hill
Project didn't make road safer
It is gratifying to see the recent progress in the first phase of the widening of County Line Road, bordering Pasco and Hernando counties, from two lanes to four lanes.
As a resident within several blocks of the former single-lane highway, I expected a much safer road with easier access after the recent improvements. However, much to my surprise, both safety and access conditions are now worse, rather than better. Most importantly, it appears that the new County Line Road is an accident waiting to happen!
There seems to be more blindness for the drivers to oncoming traffic, when attempting to make left turns off the highway. Oncoming vehicles are now traveling faster, and partially obscured by either new small rises in the road or the rising or setting sun, which seem to be more acute. Also, it is more difficult attempting to enter the road from side streets, in dangerously close proximity to the passing traffic, and in crossing the entire width of the four-lane highway just to enter the traffic flow of the other side.
In addition, cars parked or protruding in driveways of the homes adjacent to County Line Road obscure and dangerously block views of the oncoming traffic as well for all vehicles attempting to enter the highway from a side street.
The signal lights at the intersection in front of Heritage Pines sometimes provide green arrows for turning traffic, but many times do not, thereby making the turns riskier when one is unsure of what cars are coming the other way, over the small oncoming hills or rises in the road.
Furthermore, for pedestrian traffic at the same intersection, while the walk signs give pedestrian traffic 25 seconds to cross the road, vehicular traffic going the same way is also given a green light to turn into the pedestrian lanes.
In addition, if the pedestrian hits the cross button simultaneous with the green light for traffic going in the same direction, it does not activate the pedestrian sign, and dangerously cuts the time for traffic flow.
I have been caught in the middle of the highway walking my bike across the road thinking the same 25-second rule applies for pedestrians, as well as for the traffic, but not so. I have had to scramble, or stop and run back to the sidewalk, dodging traffic flow both ways.
Two blocks east on County Line Road from the Heritage Pines intersection, where the new firehouse sits adjacent to the highway on the Pasco side, and across the street from Ruskin Avenue, there is no signal light, for either the fire engines or for traffic.
These are just a few of the many added dangers, and there are more further down the road near Cobblestone Road.
This new highway — with all of its beautiful lanes, turns, lights, lines and the amount of money spent to "improve" it — has become less safe and more hazardous to pedestrians and drivers.
I now regret the "modernization" that took place, and wish for the return of the safer, older County Line Road. I regret that both Hernando County and Pasco County have made matters worse, and are also now opening themselves up for more liability when the increased number of pedestrian and vehicular accidents are sure to come.
Brian P. Moore, Spring Hill

I had a similar experience, it felt like a pretty big adventure. I wasn't sure what it was, but had looked at it for years. One day got on, sans cam- bouldery!! A bit run out, too, even with the cam, I think. The anchors are a little shaky, too!

No way this is 12d . . . or even 12b. I almost onsighted this route and my foot popping early felt like a fluke. I got the route 2nd try after a 10 second wait. The opening bit is intense, for sure. I'd go with 11d or maybe 12a if you have the reach.
Sounds like the big difference here is reach as I am tall. I was shocked to see the grade on this - and resolved that it was closer to light B1. Like many Penitente routes, the less popular ones can be a lot of fun. Curious what others think.

|Please take the previous comment not as a sandbag effort on my part - I don't (nor have I ever) climbed at the 12d level. I have bouldered at the V5 level (and 1 V6) - but this was not reminiscent of those efforts.

text: Western Energy Alliance DC Court Hears Appeal of EPA Decision on Uinta Ozone By Dan Bammes • Oct 21, 2014 Dan Bammes A complex court case involving winter ozone pollution in Utah's Uintah Basin came before an appeals court in Washington DC Tuesday morning. The central question is how much federal regulators need to know before they can act to control pollution. Back in 2012, the Environmental Protection Agency decided the winter ozone problem in the Uintah Basin was "unclassifiable," and it decided not to designate it as a non-attainment area for federal ozone standards. Environmental groups sued, arguing the EPA had all the information it needed to act.

Dear, Mr. Isaak
I was the girl in the elevator. I wanted to say but couldn't was "Thank You" for coming to Shelton, Washington to play. The show as always was Amazing ! As I was leaving the venue everyone was saying the same thing. I was really impressed with the casino being able to fill that many seats in a pretty short notice. Please come back when you can. Also, please forward a thank you to Mr. Padilla for the impromptu concert on the rail of the elevator. I thought it was fun.
Sincerely Mary Jane

The purpose of this course is to introduce religious leaders to foundational information about the belief and practices of the world's religions as part of the fabric of 21st-century America, that they might be better equipped to serve in the midst of that diversity. To these ends, students will learn the concepts, vocabulary, and practices of a number of religions sufficient for engagement in intelligent dialogue with adherents of those religions, and sufficient for being an informed visitor in those religious settings and citizen of a multi-religious neighborhood. Students will also consider a theology of religious difference which promotes neighborliness, hospitality, and mutual understanding. In addition to traditional reading and writing assignments, some online work and field research will be expected. [Students enrolled in the Graduate Certificate Program in Chaplaincy in Multifaith Contexts may take this course in place of DI-641.]
