Hawaiian Language and Sayings From Notable Authors About Hawaii
Over the years writers, poets and artists of all mediums have strived to express the feeling of the

. This has resulted in many famous quotes starting in 1866 with Mark Twain and is still ongoing today with famous entertainers, mostly who live or are from Hawaii.
Proverbs of ancient Hawaii are wise words that are still relevant today and give us a glimpse of the Hawaiian culture loved so mucharound the world. These proverbs are the ways of Aloha and are still taught to local children just as the ancient peoples of this land once taught their children.
Since there was no writing in ancient Hawaii the role that the spoken

played in the daily life of ancient Hawaiians was huge. All things in their life, from birth to death and beyond was explained and described. From tiny bits of bone and shell found outside an octopus burrow ('ahilu) to a narrow channel running along a tide pool ('amio) to the chill from being in a particular kind of wind (huehu) the Hawaiian language guided every facet and detail of their world. There chants and prayers were part of most every activity in the course of a day. From fishing to farming to eating to building and medicine, the language was used with much mana (spirit or power) to bring about wellbeing and balance.
They had many proverbs and one of the most well known and used is "i ka olele no ke ola, i ka olele no ka make. (in language there is life, in language there is death) This proverb has many meanings and points to the huge importance and respect Hawaiians have for their language. This is why it is important to learn some of the language and meanings if you're visiting…it will go a long way in creating some Aloha with the locals you'll meet.

The word Aloha is known worldwide. This is because anyone who visits Hawaii becomes charmed by the incredible beauty of these isolated islands. Aside from the standard "" definition of the word there lies a much deeper meaning. Ancient Hawaiians held strong beliefs about the land and because they had no written language they became masters of storytelling and recounting history through chants and legends. The spirit of Aloha was like a cultural guidance system for ancient Hawaiians who taught their children "".
In the old days of Hawaii it is said that Aloha meant "what's mine is yours". This did not sit well with the new foreigners who held the belief that economic principles outweighed life principles. As these foreigners brought new technologies to the islands things began to change quite rapidly. Today these Hawaiian life principles are making a comeback as is evident from the popularity of Hawaiian quotes, sayings and proverbs.
…and one of the most well known and used philosophies of Hawaiians of yesterday and today:
In a 2010 University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute

, the authors share that from the 1930s through the 40s, the big health push was changing unhealthy living environments using public health initiatives geared to sanitation issues and safety laws since infections and accidents were killing Americans.
Moving into the next several decades, the 1950s and 60s saw heart problems and cancer as the most common diseases with the highest mortality. Clinical preventive services became the public health approach to these illnesses . Screening initiatives were pushed to the forefront.Clinical preventive services

With this cumulative research, public health experts now understood that these three factors — environment, clinical care, personal behaviors — seemed only part of what impacts health.personal behaviors

"Social determinants at the population level are considered underlying, upstream, or more fundamental determinants of health and disease and are amenable to change through public policy," the report noted.
With experts acknowledging that social risk assessment may impact healthcare costs, social risk measurement may also impact reimbursement rules. The trend away from fee-for-service models to the recent focus on pay-for-performance may even meet up an alternative payment model influenced by managing the impact of a patient's specific SDOH challenges.
Several recent publications report social risk assessment as an approach to further investigate SDOH impact on health and healthcare costs. In a

"Internet users worried about their personal information being intercepted by U.S. intelligence agencies should stop using websites that send data to the United States, Germany's top security official said Wednesday." Cute, but pointless. France does it too, as does the UK. Documents from the Dutch intelligence agencies indicate that they, too, are involved in mass surveillance, the extent of which will supposedly be investigated by parliament.

What Priscilla would need to consider before directly attacking The Destroyer is if I attack now can I win?
The questions for The Destroyer are far more complicated due to her mental abilities being such an unknown at this point. Also we don't know yet if The Destroyer has sensed Priscilla... nor if she can move yet...
Assuming The Destroyer has enough cognitive ability to form a long term plan. Sh should ask herself is... If I attack Priscilla can I win?
If yes, will I still have enough power to whip out the rest of the life on the island, even if they gain up and do a massive retaliation against me? or does my long term plans come to risk by attacking Priscilla now?
If no, how do I go about whipping out as much of her food source as quickly as possible so her death is all but guaranteed? If I do this when I expect a counter attack and how can i make things harder for her to beat me?
That assumes nothing drastic happens to prevent one from taking advantage of that opportunity. Bare in mind that Miria might not be going west but east, so how could she kill the winner if she traveled in the wrong direction... though there others who could likely kill off the winner. However there aren't as many as there where...
If Miria is nearby and can track down the winner at a point near death or if it's a one sided fight than track down the fleeing loser (So, assuming Priscilla doesn't successfully use her masking ability to just disappear after the fight) then I expect Miria will finish off the winner or any other ghost up to the challenge. However Miria's speed and her masked aura defiantly would give her an edge in a sneak attack on a wounded foe as you pointed out... I just hope it's enough of one to survive the encounter.

I know things have progressed greatly but I want 2 know. If u were Isley how would u handle Everything.
Would u hve done something different with ur army?

After Luciela's defeat, I would have regained my strength and then attacked the East imediatelly, keeping Priscilla around just in case the Organization showed their face.
After Riful's death, I would have realized a massacre. I would have eaten half of the the West and half of the South. That should be enough to attract any surviving female Awakened Beings under my banner.
With a new army, I would attack The Organization with everything I've had, keeping Priscilla close to me but battling Alicia myself. After all, I wouldn't have wanted my servants to found out who really wore the pants in that relationship.
After the battle was over, I would force any surviving Claymores to Awaken and would have kept some Men in Black alive in case I needed to replenish my numbers of Awakened Beings.

In my case If I was in character of Isley pre timeskip
Immediately Destroy Riful + the asleep destroyer after recovering
Destroy the Org after that (including all half yoma on the island)
chop Priscilla's head off while she is sleeping (never know when that unstable one will turn on you)
Then set out annihilating all yoma and AB's since they are competition for food.
I'd continue eating people but at the same time never too much so there's time for them to keep a steady population.
That way i'd be the dominant force on the island with no threats to take me down.

1) The Destroyer is incredibly powerful, and has already deceived Priscilla once
2) The Destroyer is the only known Awakened Being to be able to gorge upon non-sentient life
This point actually has a real-world analogy. The best I can think of is the war of attrition between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Nazi Germany had almost all of the advantages at the outset of that conflict. It had a better equipped army, a better military leadership (excepting at the very top), and a far better air force. Like their historical counterparts, Priscilla and the Destroyer started out fighting each other via proxy war (ex. the Hellcats) just like Nazi Germany successfully beat the Republicans in Spain who were allied to the Soviets.
Round 1 went to both Prissy and Nazi Germany
Round 2 seems to have been both Prissy's initial attack on the Destroyer and Nazi Germany's initial attack upon the USSR. Priscilla annihilated the Destroyer's initial form only to discover that in fact it wasn't the true core of the creature's essence. Nazi Germany mounted what seemed a hugely successful initial summer/fall offensive against the Soviets in a similar fashion, wiping out via death or capture 2 million men out of the 4 million man Red Army.
On first glance both the USSR and the Destroyer seem like they would surely lose. Besides losing half its army, the USSR lost regions that provided the vast majority of its food, the vast majority of its steel, and a large chunk of their population. The Destroyer similarly seems to have lost a great deal to Priscilla's initial attack.
It's what comes after this moment that may change Priscilla's opinion that she is unbeatable. What came after the initial German attack in 1941 was a furious winter offensive by the Soviets, which halted and even pushed back the Nazi advance. The Soviets began rebuilding their Red Army almost immediately, building up reserves and moving production eastwards. Eventually they beat the Nazis on the strength of their mass resources and their enormous capacity for war.
Will the Destroyer be able to rebuild itself faster than Prissy can take it down? If it can, and also inflict some damage in the interim, expect to see a horrific war of attrition. Given the Destroyer's ability to gorge upon all life, that's not a war I'd necessarily bet on Priscilla winning
3) Priscilla does not have limitless reserves of energy
Shocking as it may be for Shiek to hear, it needs to be said. Priscilla seems to be at full strength now, having devoured parts of 2 Abyssal One-level people. But that Destroyer is a persistent thing, and has hit Priscilla with numerous bits that on occasion demand Prissy tap her energy reserves to heal. The question is how long can Prissy keep it up versus the Destroyer being able to.
4) The Destroyer is smarter than we give it credit for
Producing a fake doll for Prissy to destroy seems to suggest that either this thing actively thought that out, or Rafaela's last wish is all the Destroyer knew how to do. I humbly suggest, given the incredible development of the Destroyer now moving parts of its main body out and devouring all nearby life, that we might have a case for at least some sentience.
There's a wild card in all this, and that's Claire and what happens with her. If, as I think might happen, the Destroyer melds its remains into Claire's body as Prissy destroys the rest, then we're in unprecedented territory. Think of it as a way the Destroyer might actually be able to take over a body with enough latent strength to actually take on Prissy. Of course, to hedge my bet here, there's also a strong chance that the Destroyer is merely trying to siphon energy from claire's horrifically mutilated body. So what happens next?
Well, you heard my take on most of it, so why don't some of you add your own?
|2010-06-09, 15:19
|Link #927
I think I've said this before but Priss has been hit a few times by the destroyer. That will certenly affect her regenerating powers. Now that Clare has been absorbed by the destroyer Priss can't kill it ( ha kept from using the pun). If she does then she kills Clare. Its too early 2 kill Clare. So this has 2 be it, our final confrontation! I just relised something if Priss attacks the destroyer would that still suck the life out of her?
Now 2 add 2 the Isley topic... During Pieta I would've delt with the 24 warriors myself. Then I would send my entire army including Rigaldo 2 fight Riful. Then Me and Priss would head South I would fight and kill Luciela. I would let myself heal then head over 2 finish up the war with Riful. Riful should be kinda weakend by the battle with what 30 Abs including former #2 Rigaldo! Agian get healed then me and Priss head over 2 org hq. I fight Alicia myself and destroy the org hq. Hopefully most of my army would be wiped out by Riful so I wouldn't have 2 deal with them anymore! Then once all that is done, like kenshin kill priss in her sleep so noone can ever defeat me Muahahahaha!!!

You know, I just thought of a way to really distress the Organization's loyal claymores and possibly win the war for the ghosts. Have the ghosts inform the people of Rabona about the Organization's true purpose and accompany Rabona's army as it marches upon the Organization to demand it leave the island. Sure there could be terrible carnage, but if the claymores are confronted by humans and not just other claymores trying to bring down the Organization (which supposedly protects humans), what do they do?
I would imagine a number might refuse orders to attack the humans. If they didn't the Organization might be forced to resort to Abyss Feeders, Yoma, and possibly ABs (if they have any left). Of course by doing this they'd blow the cover right off their experiment. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's high time the ghosts told the people of Rabona what they know about the Organization considering Rabona was almost destroyed.

I've long sinced thought that Miria would start to send out "propaganda" about the Organization; revealing the truth which would slowly, but accelerating, begin to splinter the fillers.
I thought that Raciella, Renee, and Priscilla would be the first few new members of the Ghosts; with the rest of the fillers begin to rebel en masse (1/2 to 3/4 would rebel; their would be a few straggling supporters but they would be an small minimum). Humans at the same time, would form mobs and begin pounding on the Organization's door; the supporters, powerless to do anything as the rules say they cannot do anything.
And anyone who dares to attack human beings, are shown for who they really are; such events could totally put the Organization in 'check' (as in Chess).
Now of course, things have happened that have completely gone against what I used to think; nevertheless, barring the specifically named people, the possibility still exists. The question is, How and When now.

Way back when, I was dead-sure Raciella would follow Claire and be in human form; as for Priscilla, I predicted she would regress in a half-awakened state and join the Ghosts for reasons concerning Raki.

BTW Shiek, looking back on those predictions I made that you responded to, I have to say I did pretty well. A pretty big disaster did indeed befall the Organization: Alicia and Beth got killed by Priscilla.

Their have been people who's predictions have been correct; more often then not though, at least mine, the story went off in a completely different direction.
For example, everyone, including myself, was dead-sure Alicia would join with Riful and that didn't happen.

Why women professors?
Marking 50 years of coeducation at Santa Clara—and recognizing that it's not just the composition of students that has changed profoundly. Teaching scholars are a big part of the equation.
Mentors and friends: As teachers, scholars, mentors and friends, who are the women at Santa Clara who have shaped the way you see the world? Share your stories below.
50 years of coeducation: See videos, photos, and more commemorating 50 years of coeducation at SCU on the Alumni Association website.
In 1987 early in my career as a historian, I was approached in the hall by a young woman who asked hesitantly if I was pregnant. I was full term and roughly the size of a Buick, so I allowed that, yes, I was indeed. "I just wanted to tell you," she said, "what it means to me to see a pregnant professor on this campus." What did it mean to her? For a young woman whose professors were mostly male, I was walking, talking proof that it was possible to be both an intellectual and a mother, to have a career as a teaching scholar in addition to a family. In that moment I was reminded of how important and new that reality was. As a woman, my presence on campus was significant beyond my scholarship and classroom lectures.
The last half century at Santa Clara University has been filled with "aha!" moments like that one for students and faculty alike. For the sake of accuracy, I should note that the particular encounter I described happened at another university. But that's also a reminder that Santa Clara's move to coeducation did not occur in a social, religious, or political vacuum. The men and women in the university's classrooms were experiencing many challenges to tradition and being exposed to new, more inclusive ways of thinking.
Even before women were admitted as undergraduates, a woman joined the University faculty: Margaret Chamberlin began teaching public speaking at Santa Clara in 1955. The admission of women in 1961 sparked rising enrollments and the construction of new buildings. Harder to measure are the gains made in human understanding.
Truly equal
The curriculum was transformed by Vatican II as well as a variety of social movements demanding that women and people of color finally be recognized as truly equal. A new spirit of inquiry, openness, and a dedication to social justice began to take hold.
That said, it took time. By 1963, there were only three women teaching at Santa Clara: in biology, the honors program, and English. And in changing the face of the University, certainly there were unique learning opportunities. Patricia Neal in English recounted a male student who left class early one day and then stopped by her office to explain why: "I have a problem with a woman as an authority figure." Neal told him, "Well, you do have a problem." (He enrolled in more classes with her after that and turned to her for advice on other professors to take.) It took longer for some male students to accept women professionals on a par with men. One scholar found students who strolled by her office kept asking for directions; they thought she was the department secretary. Another shared the story of a male student she had taught who stopped by to ask if he might hire her to type up his term paper for another class.
In the newly coeducational classes, young men and women sharing ideas and learning together gained profound truths about themselves as well as the course content. On the academic playing field, students no longer saw members of the opposite sex through the glass darkly, as some mysterious "other." They found truth in the defense that President Patrick Donohoe, S.J., offered for his decision to admit women: "A mixed university is a much more accurate mirror of life … and better preparation for the society the student is entering." (Fr. Donohoe also quipped that the University admitted women "to raise the GPA!"—which it did.)
At a time when 95 percent of the nation's doctors and 97 percent of lawyers and members of Congress were men, male students and faculty at Santa Clara were forced to take women seriously as intellectuals. Perhaps as significant, women were forced to take themselves seriously.
More than a decade later, this was still a foreign concept for a lot of people, including myself. When I entered Gonzaga University in 1974 as an insecure freshman, I was stunned to find that professors were interested in my academic development and found me worthy of their time, attention, and encouragement. With these educated, accomplished people taking my scholarly potential seriously, I had no choice but to follow suit, shedding my self-doubt along the way.
All the boats
In a variety of ways, the introduction of women into Santa Clara's student body, faculty, and staff touched countless lives. By the mid 1970s, there were only 16 women teaching full time and six teaching part time on the 206-member faculty. Today, 40 percent of the University's faculty are women.
As women's presence continued to expand, it transformed the curriculum of the University and the scholarship produced. The first Women's Studies courses were offered in 1973, and the Women's Studies Program, predecessor to today's Women's and Gender Studies (now a major), was created by President William Rewak, S.J., in 1980 upon the recommendation of a task force of faculty and students. History professor Mary Gordon headed that task force, then served as the program's first director.
Rather than operate in isolation, the Women's and Gender Studies program at Santa Clara remains true to its roots and is strongly interdisciplinary, integrating some 90 courses taught by faculty from across the curriculum. Offerings range from the philosophy course "Ethics and Gender" to the economics department's "Gender Issues in the Developing World."
Women at Santa Clara have been dedicated to enriching traditional disciplines as well as creating new ones. And women faculty have gained reputations as leaders in various fields. Sally Wood in electrical engineering was the first SCU scholar to receive a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award. Catherine Bell of religious studies was an internationally renowned expert on ritual and Chinese religions. The first SCU recipient of the Graves Award, given by the American Council of Learned Societies to recognize outstanding teaching in the humanities, was Diane Dreher—now professor of English and research associate at, SCU's Spirituality and Health Institute.
Ruth Davis, associate dean of undergraduate engineering, is dedicated to increasing the diversity of the engineering workforce, particularly to empowering girls to enter Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs. With Professor Kieran Sullivan of the psychology department, she has produced valuable studies on increasing retention rates among women engineering students. Notably, the School of Engineering has the highest percentage of women faculty (tenured or tenure track) in the United States, a distinction it's held for several years.
SCU women students as well as faculty have taken advantage of the university's commitment to educating the whole person. The result for the University? When revered Professor of Ethics Austin Fagothey, S.J., considered his long tenure at Santa Clara, two events marked especially significant improvements: the arrival of GIs after World War II and coeducation. In both cases, the quality of academic life was made strikingly better by their presence. In the words of University Historian Gerald McKevitt, S.J., the rising tide of women lifted all boats.
Nancy C. Unger is an associate professor of history at SCU. She is the author of Fighting Bob La Follette: The Righteous Reformer and is currently at work on Beyond Nature's Housekeepers: American Women in Environmental History for Oxford University Press.

She showed genuine interest in my improvement as a journalist, and it showed in my work for that class, which ended up getting published. I largely credit her enthusiasm for the trade for inspiring my own—it's one of the reasons I am at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism today. Also, since graduating, I—and a ton of other women—have particularly benefitted from her book and her blog that she writes with her daughter, "Undecided." It's an excellent ongoing conversation about the trials of women in the modern world and the choices that haunt and hoist us. :) Thanks, Barbara!
[An article about Barbara's book, as well as her reading an excerpt, was in the Winter 2012 issue of SCM. —ed.]

Working with Dr. Janice Edgerly-Rooks of the Biology Department got me interested in research and inspired me to apply to graduate school. Without her mentorship, I doubt I would have considered graduate school. I love the path my life has taken, and I owe so much of that to Janice. Now that I'm also a professor here at SCU, I try to model Janice's passion for science and similarly pass the joy of research along to my students.

Jagienka Drweski - Jagienka was my freshman acting teacher. I thought it would be an easy class to clown around in and get an A. I mean it was "acting." Somehow Jagienka's soft spoken yet direct way made it difficult to get away with much without embarrassing myself. She was able to pierce straight to the heart of a person, situation, idea, or motivation with ease, all while having a smile on her face. She made me realize the value of time and how not to waste it by making bad choices. She was much more than an acting professor but rather a great example of how to live one's life with sincerity and without fear. I think about her to this day.
Jane Curry - I entered SCU without a declared major and signed up for an introductory political science class as part of my overall requirements. Professor Curry gave us a ton of books to read with titles like "Eastern European Political Systems." BOR-ING! When Professor Curry would start a lecture it seemed as though the people, places, and events came alive. It was as if she'd just had breakfast with the foreign minister of so and so country that morning and was simply reporting about what they talked about over tea. I came to find out that she actually DID know many of the eastern European power brokers throughout the region and flew there regularly to participate in the ongoing transition of eastern Europe from a closed, socialist system to an open democratic one. Professor Curry explored psychology, history, economics, art, and all of the other liberal arts through the lens of political science. Her insight has definitely had a great impact on how I see the complexities of the world woven together.

As a freshman at Santa Clara, I found myself studying in a Major that was what you were "supposed" to do, but not really finding myself. During this time, I was talked into taking an acting class to fulfill my Fine Arts requirement. I ended up enrolled in Beginning Acting 1 with Jagienka Drweski and before I knew it, I was enrolled in Beginning Acting 2. A few conversations later, she was my new academic advisor and I had switched majors. None of it was by her direct persuasion, rather the way she taught. I found myself learning more about life and how to observe it. I've never regretted changing majors, and to this day utilize more of what I learned in the Theatre department than any other subject. Jagienka helped me realize what I truly was supposed to study.

Susan Erwin M.A. '01, Senior Assistant Dean, Student Services at Santa Clara Law (confidant / mother-to-all): Dean Erwin has always been there for me, whether it's a school-related issue or not. She has been a constant source of compassion, regardless of the obstacle I come to her with. I am not sure what my Santa Clara Law School experience would have been like without her. From the moment I became a law student, Dean Erwin was there for me. And luckily she continues to be there for me. Her caring and kind heart does not just shut off when a law student graduates, she continues to be a part of your life, long after you graduate. And the best thing about her is that she's like this to all. This is why she made a difference in my time at Santa Clara and for every other law student that walks through her door. She is an incredible woman with a heart of gold.
Professor Nancy Wright J.D. '80, Santa Clara Law (professor of law / Inspiration): It is people like Professor Nancy Wright that remind me of the good in the world. It's easy to get caught up in the drudgery of our every day lives and the sadness that surrounds us (especially when studying certain areas of the law), but Professor Wright has an innate ability to shine the light on the positive. She has dedicated her life to helping others, whether its a low income client or a teen caught up in the "wrong crowd." She educates each of her students to be "lawyers that lead" with a heart filled with compassion and positivity. Her patience, her passion, and her dedication to helping her community gives all of us future lawyers something to aspire to become.

I have fond memories of Jagienka Zych-Drweski, one of my theatre professors when I was attending Santa Clara. She taught me about Stanislovsky and I remember speaking with her many times at length about the method. I believe that her influence, grace and strength all aided in what has become my passion for the craft. I think of her often and smile when I do.

I had the privilege of knowing Dean Mary B. Emery J.D. '63 and she became for me one of those mentors that would have a profound impact on my life. She was a family friend, brave enough to offer me a job in the Santa Clara Law Library during my undergraduate years. Here she would keep a close eye on my academic and personal development, ensuring I made the most out of my Santa Clara education.
Mary Emery was a smart, witty, dynamic lawyer, educator, administrator and friend. As one of the first female Santa Clara Law School graduates, she was considered a pioneer, a role model for women's upward mobility. As I entered Santa Clara University on the heals of the Title IX decision, I was keenly aware that it was thanks to women like Mary Emery that I would be given the opportunity to compete as a female athlete here at the school. Through her many committee positions at the University, she played a vital role in ensuring equality for women on campus.
Looking back now on the impact Dean Emery had on my life, I credit her with many of my life's career achievements. I had watched this brilliant women succeed on so many levels and what I learned from her was that if I believed in something enough, I too could succeed in anything I set out to do. She instilled a confidence and fearlessness in me, which I've leveraged throughout my career in Silicon Valley. This year Santa Clara University lost a true shining light, yet her legacy lives on in the many friends and colleagues that continue to serve the institution. Mary Emery lived a life of selfless contribution to her community. I hope to honor her legacy by giving back to the community that gave so much to me.

Brigid Barton, Professor Emerita, Department of Art and Art History: I've been lucky to study under several brilliant, strong, and inspiring women, but Brigid Barton stands out as one of the most influential to me as an undergrad. She challenged me through my course work, yet always expressed an unwavering faith in my abilities. She encouraged me to pursue my professional dreams and supported me by helping secure my first museum internship. Ten years later, she remains a friend and mentor--someone whose opinion I trust and whose friendship I value.

When I arrived on the Santa Clara campus in the fall of 1963, I was a thirty-two year old high school Physical Education Teacher with little coaching experience, hired to "direct and instruct women students in various recreation and athletic pursuits." No perimeters given, nor printed material on how to proceed, except that "Recreation" was to be the emphasis.
There were three female teachers/administrators on campus in those first few years: Elizabeth Moran, English, was the first full time female teacher, becoming the first female President of the Faculty Senate in 1974, Viola Kamena was the first Dean of Women, and Garland White, the Placement Director. These few women, and a number of female staff, became my supporters, mentors, and friends.
Being the sole female coach/administrator in the all male Athletic Department for many years was a challenge. With the special help of the Department secretaries, Kathy Ivers and Dolores Gisi, I began new programs and activities and hired qualified coaches for women students who wanted to be involved in Intercollegiate Athletics.
I have always admired those first female student-athlete pioneers at Santa Clara, who were provided with little in terms of finances, equipment and qualified coaches. Faced with antiquated, almost non-existent facilities, they practiced in the tiny St. Clare Church Hall for many years. They played all their games on the road, often sleeping on gym floors. It was not taken for granted how women would or should be able to participate on intercollegiate teams, representing their college or university. Now, fifty years later, Santa Clara's Women's Athletics and female participation at institutions all over the country have come a long way. Santa Clara has become much more liberal and open to new ideas.
In 1988, many years into my Santa Clara history, and at the suggestion of Lee Mahon and JoAnne Vasquez, the administrators of the Counseling/ Psychology and Education Administration graduate programs, I started attending classes. In 1991, I received my M.A. degree in Educational Administration. At the graduation ceremony, I received a very special honor of being inducted into Alpha Sigma Nu, the National Honor Society of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. Awarded for distinguished achievements in scholarship, loyalty and service, this honor made me a real BELIEVER in Santa Clara and all it stands for. During this time Lee and Joanne became my mentors, not only while I was in their program, but also because of their special interest in equality for all of our female student-athletes.
For thirty-two years I gave a lot of my life to Santa Clara University and it has continued to give me a lot in return. Once a Bronco, always a Bronco!

JoAnne Vasquez was a beacon of hope and inspiration to me, then a young single mother with a severely handicapped child. I went on to a career of school counseling for 22 years and found the perfect fit. I was honored to be selected as a 1999 Alumna of the Year. I owe so much to the university, but especially to this all encompassing, dedicated woman.

Marcelline Krafchick was one of those 3 early women professors who taught in the short lived Honors Program. She challenged students and faculty to understand and appreciate literature and expand our perspectives. Forty years later, when she sent me back my term paper on King Lear, I came to more fully appreciate how learning from her helped me not only to become a better academic but also a better father to 3 daughters.

Ian Frost, left, and Paul Rowland.
Operation Alpine, a four-year investigation, which ran from a secret county location and spanned the globe, led to a couple from Martin Dales, near Woodhall Spa, and their colluders being brought to justice.
Ian Frost, 35, pleaded guilty to distributing indecent images of children at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday, while his partner Paul Dean Rowland, 34, pleaded guilty to distributing, making and possessing indecent images of children.
Frost's brother, Paul David Frost, 37, of Woodhouse, Sheffield, pleaded guilty to distributing indecent images of children.
A fourth man, Ian Richard Sambridge, 32, from St Albans, Hertfordshire, also pleaded guilty to distributing indecent images of children.
Ian Frost and Rowland were the kingpins of an outfit which ran a UK-based "news service" website offering more than 1,300 suspected paedophiles in 45 countries access to millions of child abuse images. They, along with Sambridge and Paul Frost, profited to the tune of £2.2 million between 2002 and 2009.
They distributed indecent images of children to customers, including teachers, police officers and youth workers, who paid for them through websites set up by the group including AthenaNews.com
The service operated via a server in West Yorkshire which was further linked to a server in Manhattan, New York City. It had customers all over the globe in European, Asian, American and African countries.
The investigation revealed 211 UK
suspects and resulted in 178 premises being searched and 38 people being convicted.
The case was brought by Lincolnshire Police who worked with the Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre, along with other police forces.
The global investigation also involved the Department of Justice in the US, Europol and Interpol.
The case was unprecedented for Lincolnshire Police.
Assistant Chief Constable Roger Bannister said: "The protection of children has always been the key objective of this investigation and the guilty pleas from four defendants is really pleasing in terms of us achieving what we set out to achieve.
"For me, this investigation was groundbreaking.
"As a senior investigating officer, I have a led a number of investigations of that type and magnitude but Operation Alpine was very different.
"The investigation has been challenging in many ways, particularly around the complexity of the technical side but also the international side and the 45 countries with which we have been involved.
"This was truly a team effort and there are a great many people to thank. The investigation team has worked tirelessly and very hard, for example, examining five-and-a- half million images."
The four will be sentenced in June with a date to be confirmed.

TATAMAGOUCHE - Family and friends are rallying to help former Wentworth native Chris Patriquin and his family.
The 34-year-old father of four, also a participant of CBC's most recent edition of'The Week the Women Went,' has been diagnosed with inoperable terminal cancer.
"To be told his life is very short is heartbreaking," said family member Phyllis Rice.
"On Nov. 9 they got the awful news and didn't know anything was wrong before that."
She said Patriquin had visited his doctor that day with pains in his back and during a whirlwind of appointments at three hospitals within the next 24 hours he was told he had cancer in advanced stages.
Rice said the cancer has moved into his spine and ribs, and Patriquin has lost the function of one kidney.
"He has already undergone radiation and now his only hope is to take his medications at home," she said.
Patriquin is a well-known face at both the Barrachois and Toney River wharfs where he has fished alongside his father-in-law Allan Buckler for years.
In the off-season he works in construction at job sites across the Maritimes.
He was raised in the Wentworth area, attended Pugwash District High School and settled in Tatamagouche with his wife, Vicki, to raise their four children - aged eight, six, two and one.
Patriquin is also one of the stars of the Week the Women Went mini series that aired on CBC in early 2009. His honest portrayal of life in a rural community as he cared for his children while preparing a vessel for lobster fishing season earned him a great number of fans both locally and across the country.
Rice said at this point Patriquin is no longer able to work so the family has no income.
"It's really important for people to support the family," said Rice. "This is really hard at Christmastime and they are trying to keep life as normal as possible for the kids."
A New Year's Eve dance will be held at the North Shore Recreation Centre in Tatamagouche from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. for people age 19 and older. Donations will be received at the door. Throughout the evening there will be door prizes, a silent auction, spot dances and 50/50 draws as well as tickets sold on spring lobster.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for anyone who would like to make a donation but cannot attend the dance.
For more information contact Rice at 657-3436. Donations can also be mailed to Patriquin Family Benefit, C/O Phyllis Rice, 2807 Sunrise Trail, RR#1 Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia, B0K 1V0.

BOSTON — Although they're mathematically still alive for a playoff berth, the Toronto Maple Leafs are probably not going to qualify for the postseason.
Toward the end of the second period druing the Bruins' 4-3 shootout loss to the Leafs, Boston forward Brad Marchand offered the Leafs bench a suggestion on what to do once the regular season ends.
After a scrum, Marchand made a golf-swing gesture that probably got under the skin of some of the blue-and-white-wearing players. It also irked the Bruins' bench boss.
"I got a little bit of an earful [from Claude Julien between periods]," admitted Marchand after the game, "it won't happen again."
Marchand said that Phil Kessel popped him in the mouth and there should've been a penalty. Instead there was a razzing from the bench and then the gesture.
"That was a little immature of me. I shouldn't have done that," said the pesky winger.
Earlier in the game, Marchand gave the Bruins one of their few bursts of energy on the night with a shorthanded goal. Julien knows he has to take the good and the bad with Marchand and hope that the good outweighs all else by the end of the game.
"He's been a good player for us," said Julien. "And again, his emotions can sometimes be a positive, and sometimes you don't want to cross the line. You certainly don't like that when it happens, so it's just a learning process."
Earlier this month Marchand received a two-game suspension for a hit to the head and a period-long benching from his coach for some undisciplined play. Now comes this. Marchand's going to have to mature a little more before the postseason starts because these little maneuvers could be magnified and cost Boston in the playoffs.

G4099, Reviewed October 1993
In tight financial times, businesses often try to reduce spending and improve their profits. Many farmers are currently operating their businesses under such conditions. Wise management decisions can improve profits in farming while reducing cash flow needs.
Some of what you put into your farm business can be perceived as cost free. That is, this input does not change as yield per acre changes. Examples include timeliness in all operations, equipment adjustments, crop rotations, land rent and taxes. Making the best use of them should increase yields and profitability in your cropping system.
Avoid high costs until your financial position improves. Too often, we take big risks during hard times in hopes of big payoffs. But when you are counting your chips is not the time to double your bet. Don't overlook any necessary costs that could directly affect crop yield. These necessities might include seed, pest control, fertilizer, lime, fuel, equipment, maintenance and adjustment, and positive management. Omitting anything that has increased yields will undoubtedly reduce profits.
Keep a positive attitude. It has been stated, "For success, attitude can be as important as ability."
This guide contains information about cost-cutting and cost-effective measures that may be useful in your crop production. The major theme is management. Proper management will improve profitability.
Seed quality is a key to good yields. For most crops, use certified seed or seed of a quality comparable to certified seed. Home-grown seed can save money, but you should know the germination so you can get a proper seeding rate. Never use seed from hybrid crops for next year's planting (corn or grain sorghum).
Use new varietiesSoybean varieties have been improving at about 1/3 bushel per year. Using a 10-year-old variety means you may end up with about 3 less . Corn varieties are improving at about 1 bushel per year. Use current variety test information to help make your decision.
Always treat seed cornWheat seed treatment is generally beneficial. Soybeans may not need seed treatment in non-stress conditions. Seed treatment can improve some low germination seed.
Narrow rows usually increase yields for nearly all crops. (Table 1 and Figure 1.) Consider narrowing existing equipment to the limit and, as needs arise, purchase equipment for narrow rows. Soybeans planted in narrow rows (10 inches or less) have increased yields an average of 4 over 30-inch rows. Narrow rows show the greatest advantage in late-planted crops such as double crop soybeans or grain sorghum. You can get narrow rows by doubling back with wide-row equipment.
Table 1Average soybean yield in to drilled seeding at several Missouri locations
Planting date is extremely important in achieving yield potential. Nobody can plant every acre on that best planting date. But strive to have at least half of your crop planted by that date. The only excuse for late planting should be the weather.
Plan ahead to get your planter in field condition before that first planting day. Check and adjust your planter often. Drive as slowly as possible to ensure good seed placement and proper seeding rate while still getting the planting done on time.
Tillage costs money in fuel, labor and wear and tear on equipment. Reducing the number of tillage operations and tillage depth will reduce these costs. Work the soil only until you achieve that seedbed that will give satisfactory emergence. Added tillage may also increase soil erosion potential. Evaluate tillage by categorizing necessary and traditional tillage.
Know the weeds you need to controlToo often, farmers select herbicides for broad spectrum control when less expensive alternatives may control the weeds present in your crops. Comparing prices of herbicides in relation to their recommended application rates may result in considerable cost savings. Several herbicides are manufactured by more than one company. Shop for the least expensive brand of the same herbicide.
Band application of some herbicides over the row can reduce costs by as much as two-thirds. Some herbicides do not require incorporation and can be effectively used in a band over the row for pre-emergence or post-emergence application. You can cut costs by cutting down on the amount of herbicides used per acre and by reducing tillage.
Use a rotary hoe to control small weeds early and a cultivator to control major weeds as the crop grows. This can result in effective weed control and can cut costs. For weeds in the rows, post-directed or rope wick application may give the added control you need at a reduced cost. Take care in selecting fields for this purpose. Be certain that under almost any condition, timely cultivation and herbicide application can be accomplished.
Table 2Nitrogen added to the soil by a legume crop (optimum)
Get a soil test before applying fertilizer. Fields high in phosphorus or potassium can go without those nutrients for a year or more without reducing yields. If you have some fields with high fertility and some with low, fertilize only those with low fertility. This practice will give a better return than fertilizing all fields at a reduced rate. When cash flow is good, fertilize to high levels. This will allow you to reduce fertilizer rates when cash flow is poor.
Sound fertility management is just as important during tight times as it is when cash flow is adequate. Avoid the temptation to buy unproven products; stick with the proven and recommended practices. New miracle products often result in no increased yields.
Stick to the major nutrients during these economic times. As yet, many micro nutrients are not recommended by University agronomists. The probability of response to micro nutrients is much less than with N, P or K. It is easy to increase a fertilizer bill $10 or more per acre with micro nutrients. Use only those nutrients with a proven response on your soil.
Consider band application of fertilizer rather than broadcasting. Band application has long been proven to be more efficient at lower fertilizer application rates. Banding can be accomplished at planting by placing fertilizer near the seed or by using new innovations, such as knifed placement or dribble applications.
Ensuring effective use of applied fertilizer is always important. The key is incorporation of the fertilizer into the rooting zone. Potassium and phosphorus applied at planting without incorporation often result in little or no response. Incorporate these nutrients at fall or spring tillage.
Remember to reduce nitrogen rates appropriately when legumes or manure are used in crop rotations. (Table 2.) Soybeans can add 30 to 50 pounds of N to a subsequent wheat or corn crop. Manure commonly contains appreciable amounts of N, P and K. To effectively reduce the fertilizer needed, determine the nutrient content of manure by lab analysis. Fresh animal manure often contains 10 to 15 pounds of nitrogen (N), 5 to 10 pounds of phosphate (P2O5), and 10 to 15 pounds of potash (K2O) per ton.
Monitor fields periodically for insect, disease, nutrient or other associated problems while the crop is actively growing. Don't use fungicides or insecticides until the economic threshold of crop damage has been reached. Consult an agronomist on field problems to help you make those costly decisions. One less spraying could save several dollars. According to research, twenty percent leaf loss in soybeans does not normally reduce yield potential.
Monitoring crop growth this year can help you plan to correct next year's problems. Fertility problems are often difficult to overcome during the current cropping season but, through plant analysis, you can make plans for next year.
Avoid unnecessary trips to fields. During active growth, weekly, thorough inspection is necessary. But as growth tapers off, growth problems are less likely.
Crop rotations have consistently shown yield increase, roughly 10 percent, over continuous mono-cropping (Figure 2). Plan crop rotations as best fit your land and potential crop prices.
Consider planting as many soybeans as possible for short-run cash flow improvement. Production costs for soybeans are generally lower than most other row crops.
Plant suitable acres to double crop soybeans or grain sorghum. With a minimum cost, you can get some return from continued use of crop acres through double cropping.
Avoid double cropping on unsuitable land or during dry conditions. Don't plant and wait for a rain. Wait for rain and then plant if it's not too late. Remember: If it's dry, don't try!
Have harvest equipment adjusted and fields ready in advance. When harvesting wheat, run a minimum of straw through the combine. This will prolong the life of the machine and usually result in cleaner grain. Check behind the combine for harvest losses (Table 3). Adjust the machine if necessary. Lost grain is lost yield.
Table 3Harvest loss on soybeans due to combine cutter bar height (an average of three varieties, Columbia, Mo.)
Note Problems in fields at harvest such as lodging, shattering and reduced yields. Start making plans for improving and correcting those problems for next year's crop.
Harvest at a maximum moisture contentIf possible, don't wait for grain to become too dry. There is no bonus for grain that is too dry.
Improving profitability does not come easily. It requires management of your present operation and planning for new technology that will be cost effective in your future operation. If farming is not profitable today, staying with present practices and technology ensure an unprofitable future. Improving crop yields per acre is one method of improving the potential for a profitable farming operation. That goal, along with making the best use of "no cost" farm resources, will improve your position in crop production.

"It was hard for me to decide whether to take it on because I had directed an ad for Dior before with Hedi [Slimane], it was one of the last major projects before he left, so it was a very tumultuous time."
Keep reading for more details and backstage (behind the camera?) gossip!
Lab Series Ab Rescue promises to tone your stomach
From Kiss & Make Up, our beauty site:
Men are getting more and more body conscious nowadays, but it still surprised me to see slimming cream for them on the market. Of course, they call it Ab Rescue, and have it in sleek MACHO packaging, but essentially it's a slimming cream.
Manly Man Soap
I don't dispute the limited powers of soap, but I get the feeling that a wash with this bar could have you smoking a pipe whilst stroking your moustache within seconds.
Body Shop For Men Face Scrub: the best a man can get?
Your search for the perfect face scrub ends here – and it's under a tenner.
Stuart tries Jean Paul Gaultier Monsieur 'guyliner'
Part two of the Stuart Waterman makeover, and I have to confess that after applying the eyeliner I laughed like I have never laughed before in my life, emitting some sort of inhuman cackle!
Trying out make up for men
Mad props goes to My Chemical Toilet's Stuart Waterman for letting use him as our private Girl's World doll in our latest video.
Poll: Flat-top haircuts, yay or nay?
I wrote a piece on flat-top haircuts yesterday and I know that EJ at Style Salvage would probably give them a thumbs up but what about the rest of you?
Return of the flat-top
In the latest issue of GQ Style Charlie Porter is waxing lyrical about the '21st Century Flat Top' and I have to say I agree. It fits in with a new style preppiness and clean minimalism which is the antithesis of Hedi Slimane's slimfit rockstar look.
Thierry Mugler Angel Men Pure Coffee scent out soon
Zara at Kiss and Make Up is sounding off about the new Thierry Mugler Angel Men perfume, she wants in on the male scent, which is out on April 14th.
I must admit I'm not one of those women who ever bought the female fragrance, it was always a bit too sweet and cloying for my tastes but apparently the new Pure Coffee fragrance for men is a lot more manly.
"Love Is Blind…" – True Or False?
Everyone has had that person they wanted to impress; the girl, the guy, the parent, the boss. And what better medium than fashion? Whether it's the Louboutin slutty-stiletto (for the girls let me say) or one of Armani's finest suits, the right look can make or break a first date.
Top Five: New Male Scents
Like tax and death, scent is one of life's fickle promises. I have just returned from a trip to New York and I couldn't help but notice how great everyone smelt (not in some strange Charlie's Angels hair-sniffer way.) In the returning yellow cab to JFK, my week in the Big Apple flashed before my eyes as a flurry of smiling sales associates and the now dog-eared sample cards currently resonating through my conscience (and bedroom!) Whether you have a Grenouille like nose or are suspiciously blind to the sweet smell of- well smell, 'cologne' or 'scent' is something that you need to be firmly aquainted with.

Fornyelser Tux - Finkenberg
NEW! 10 Seater Finkenberg I
From winter 2017/18, the entry into the Zillertal 3000 ski & glacier world will be even more comfortable.
Skiområde Tux - Finkenberg
Emotions in White!
A wonderful winter landscape, perfectly groomed slopes and pure enjoyment await visitors in the glacier region of Tux-Finkenberg at the head of the Zillertal valley in Tyrol. A 100% snow guarantee can be given with a clear conscience, because the altitude of 850 – 3,250 metres above sea level ensures masses of snow right through from October till May!
Winter pleasure at the Zillertal 3000 Ski and Glacier World
With 62 modern lift facilities in five ski areas, which cover a total of 196 kilometres of slope, the Zillertal 3000 Ski and Glacier World is a superlative skiing region. Insiders recommend a piste tour from Penkenjoch-Finkenberg via the Rastkogel ski area to the Eggalm. Last but certainly not least: The Hintertux Glacier. Anyone who wants to complete an entire glacier circuit will have to conquer 15,000 metres in altitude and 60 downhill kilometres in just one day. The artificially snow-covered downhill runs to Tux-Vorderlanersbach, Tux-Lanersbach and Hintertux are pure pleasure for every winter sports fan!
Year-round pleasure on the Hintertux Glacier… 3000m above sea level
Austria's only all-season skiing region provides ski fans a natural high all year round with a 100% snow guarantee at altitudes of up to 3,250 metres above sea level. The Hintertux Glacier presents 59 kilometres of amazing natural snow ski runs with powder snow guarantee from October till May. The magnificent view of the surrounding 3000m peaks provided from the panorama terrace at 3,250 m above sea level and 365 days of skiing and snowboarding fun each year make the Hintertux Glacier the "world's best glacial ski resort". The newly opened Tuxer Fernerhaus and the Spannagelhaus invite you to stop off and enjoy great catering services!
Sport pleasure on off-slope runs
Tux-Finkenberg has lots to offer! Counted among the sports offers in the Tuxertal Valley are a total of 28 km of cross-country ski-tracks and one natural ice skating rink including Alpine curling tracks in Tux-Lanersbach. Three illuminated natural toboggan runs featuring traditional mountain huts and restaurants, such as the Höllensteinhütte, the Grieralm and the Bichlalm, which add an extra portion of conviviality to your holidays. 68 kilometres of cleared winter hiking trails ensure wintry variety. Exploring the pristine winter landscape with modern snowshoes, experiencing pure nature, breathing in the fresh, healthy air and simply soaking up the tranquil calm to top up one's batteries for everyday life; that's winter wellness in Tux-Finkenberg.
Party pleasure with events, aprés ski and nightlife in Tux-Finkenberg
Tux-Finkenberg is renowned for its typical combination of great fun and conviviality. Considering the 193 kilometres of slopes, it's a good thing that "service stations" are provided every couple of kilometres. The Zillertal 3000 Ski & Glacier World is notorious for aprés-ski and mountain lodge fun. The party bars and discos run at full throttle till deep into the night and the party beat goes on till dawn…. The event programme of the upcoming winter also has lots in store, whether in the hotels, bars or at the Tux Center. Masterly acrobatic feats performed by the Tux skiing schools can be seen again at the "Fire on Snow" ski show in the Arena Hinteranger in Tux-Lanersbach. The Nightliner takes all party animals, culture fans and revellers quickly and comfortably through the Tux and Finkenberg event mile.
Family pleasure in the winter wonderland
Children are also entitled to a little time-out from everyday life, which is why a family holiday in Tux-Finkenberg is the perfect choice! Kids will find that learning the skills of skiing and snowboarding at any of the five ski schools is simply child's play. The top station of the Eggalm lifts features a Kinderpark with ski carrousel, magic carpet, baby lift and snowtubing to give the kids their first taste of snow fun. The Family-Park Hintertux am Sommerberg is the ideal location for kids to get a first taste of freestyle fun. The Tux family specialists also know exactly what the youngest guests need for an action-packed holiday. The "Playarena", a 1,000 m² large indoor games hall with an action-packed fun and animation programme, now features a brand new climbing wall for cliff-hanging adventures. Hence, boredom is foreign to Tux-Finkenberg!
Tux-Finkenberg has so much to offer:
