5 great ways to use lemons
When life gives you lemons, don't just make lemonade.
Try using the versatile, zesty fruit like this:
Astringent. Squeeze some lemon juice into a glass jar, and dab some onto your face every morning, said New York City makeup artist Kimara Ahnert, whose clients includes Gwyneth Paltrow and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then wash it off with warm water followed by a moisturizer.
Deodorizer. Place a dried lemon slice under each seat of your car to freshen your vehicle, or hide it in your teenager's stinky shoe, said Elaine Giammetta, president of The Gourmet Girl Inc. If you're the one who smells, rub a slice under your arms (unless you've just shaved). Sucking on a lemon wedge can also help with bad breath, but save it for social emergencies; the strongly acidic lemon juice isn't good for tooth enamel.
Cure a hangover. Drinking a glass of hot water with lemon juice first thing in the morning -- or if you've had too much alcohol -- can help purify the liver, said Tony Burris, an herbalist who practices acupuncture in Boise, Idaho. Rubbing a lemon wedge into your armpit supposedly can also help ease the symptoms of a hangover, according to "Healing Remedies" (Ballantine Books, $16), by Joan and Lydia Wilen.
Cold fighter. For a sore throat, mix lemon juice with 1 tablespoon of sea salt and warm water to create an acidic environment that's hostile to bacteria and viruses, said Theresa Cheung, the author of "The Lemon Juice Diet (St. Martin's Griffin, $13.95.) Swallow what you've gargled to get an immune-boosting shot of vitamin C, she said.
Nutrient booster. Adding lemon juice to green tea can increase the amount of catechins available for the body to absorb, according to some research. Catechins are antioxidants believed to help decrease the risk of heart disease. Adding lemon peel to your tea may reduce your risk of skin cancer.

In Edna and Harvey: The Breakout, Edna wakes up in the padded cell of an insane asylum with no memory of her past or how she ended up there. Only one thing is for certain: She has been wrongfully imprisoned and will have to escape! After all, she feels entirely sane – and her speaking stuffed toy bunny Harvey wholeheartedly agrees. Together they undertake a daring breakout attempt, meeting up with numerous oddball inmates, like the Man in the Bee's Costume or Siamese twins Hoti and Moti. But Dr. Marcel, the sinister head of the institute, will do everything in his power to stop Edna. What evil scheme is afoot? Slowly Edna begins to regain her memories of the past…
"Edna and Harvey brings back the good old days of adventure gaming, when animals were more articulate and 800x600 was considered high-definition", commented Daedalic managing director Carsten Fichtelmann.
Edna and Harvey: The Breakout is a point & click adventure game in the vein of the genre's classics. Backgrounds and characters are completely 2D and drawn by hand by a real person in the game's unique cartoon style. The game's characters range from odd to genuinely crazy – twisted humor guaranteed! Thanks to challenging puzzles, extensive dialogues and more than 120 screens, gamers can look forward to an extraordinarily long gameplay experience.
Edna and Harvey: The Breakout is set to be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in May 2008 with additional territories to follow.

Taking "field notes," whether your field is a sales floor or unchartered wilderness, makes everyday observation more scientific
A "Tree of Life" sketch is seen in Darwin's "B" notebook at the "Darwin" exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City in 2005.
Follow @TIMEIdeas
Many of science's most important breakthroughs, from the discovery of microorganisms to the theory of evolution, have come about through observation. The scientist's gaze is clearly a powerful tool for making sense of how the world works. But it is not the same as "everyday observation," as Catherine Eberbach and Kevin Crowley call the kind of casual looking done by those of us who don't wear lab coats. "Seeing is not observing," the University of Pittsburgh researchers point out. As practiced by scientists, observation is a rigorous activity that integrates what the scientists are seeing with what they already know and what they think might be true. In an article published in the journal Review of Educational Research , Eberbach and Crowley lay out the differences between expert observation and "just looking" — with the aim of helping the rest of us observe the way scientists do.
(MORE : Brilliant: Why Floundering is Good )
First, scientists train their attention, learning to focus on relevant features and disregard those that are less salient. One of the best ways to do this is through the old-fashioned practice of taking field notes: writing descriptions and drawing pictures of what you see. "When you're sketching something, you have to choose which marks to make on the page," says Michael Canfield, a Harvard University entomologist and editor of the recent book Field Notes on Science and Nature . "It forces you to make decisions about what's important and what's not." Keeping a field notebook — whether the "field" under observation is a sales floor, a conference room, or the garden in your own backyard — makes everyday observation more scientific in another way: Scientists keep careful records of their observations, quantifying them whenever possible. Try attaching a number to each episode you observe: how many times a customer picks up an item before deciding to buy it, how many minutes employees spend talking about office politics before getting down to business.
( MORE: Brilliant: Learning Can Be Passive )
While casual observers simply sit back and watch what unfolds, scientific observers come up with hypotheses that they can test. What happens if a salesperson invites a potential customer to try out a product for herself? How does the tone of the weekly meeting change when it's held in a different room? Scientists actively engage with their perceptions in another way: they organize and analyze what they've seen after the observation session is over. (Even Charles Darwin didn't realize that the famous finches of the Galapagos Islands were varied but related members of the same species until he returned to England and began working out his theory of natural selection.) The skills sharpened by such extended reflection are especially important for young people to develop. While we want today's students to be able to look for information on the web, we also want them to be able to synthesize and interpret the material they find. "These are the essential capacities that all successful people will need to navigate life in the twenty-first century," Canfield says.
There is no single leadership trait that guarantees success in any profession, but there is one that many of the best leaders share: a fierce commitment to objectivity. And yet it's often not easy for leaders to remain objective. Perhaps nowhere is this struggle more clear, or the stakes higher, than in the intelligence community, where leaders are charged with providing balanced, fact-based advice to the President. It's never easy to deliver bad news or appear critical of a policy, but the best intelligence leaders know that it's their job to tell the White House the unvarnished truth— not to make policy, but to give the Executive Branch the data it needs to make those policy decisions.Regardless of the work you do, prize your objectivity, and work every day to preserve it.
There is no single leadership trait that guarantees success in any profession, but there is, based on my experience, one that many of the best leaders share: a fierce commitment to objectivity. And yet I realize it's often not easy for leaders to remain objective.
In my nearly three-decade career in the intelligence community, I have worked for and with11 Directors of CIA and all five Directors of National Intelligence. Each has brought their own personality and skill set to the job, and each in their time has faced their own set of challenges, from deeply contentious relationships with the White House and Congress to unforeseen terrorist attacks on the homeland and U.S. diplomatic facilities overseas. I think each would agree that leading in the intelligence community is a daily exercise in crisis management, whether at the helm of CIA with its global analytic and operational responsibilities, or at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence with its oversight responsibilities for the entire intelligence community.

FM12 blogs - miscellaneous (pt 2 of 3)
Translations of this material:
- into Russian: ФМ2012 блог - день 8. Разные мелочи (часть 2 из 3) . Translation complete.
Submitted for translation by noom 21.09.2011
Published 7 years ago.
Hello again.
Today's blog, like yesterday's, is one full of things that don't really fit anywhere else.
Let's start with friendlies, for which there are significant additions with Football Manager 2012.
One thing that's become more prevalent in football over the last season is clubs scrapping their reserve team squads due to the standard in reserve leagues not being good enough, and preferring to send players out on loan to get lower league first team football instead, and playing behind closed door friendlies instead to help get those players returning from injury fit, and giving some of the youngsters and squad players a chance to prove their worth.
Youth teams also now arrange pre-season friendlies too. And not just against other youth teams – you could find a big club youth team being quite happy to play a friendly against a lower league side's first team.
In FM12, should the country you are playing in have reserve teams, and should you decide not to enter them into the reserve competitions, and should you have your assistant manager set in the team preferences to arrange friendlies, throughout the season you'll find reserve team friendlies being added to the calendar.
Something else that's become noticeable over the last few years has been pre-season tours where high profile clubs will go to far flung countries to have friendlies against international sides, or "best of the league" sides. And you can now arrange these in Football Manager 2012 too (should those nations have "best of the league" sides, of course).
We've also made it easier to arrange friendlies, with a better user interface to help arrange them, should you want to do this yourself.
Right – that's enough about friendlies. How about a new option to help you configure your game to have the players in it you want to? There are lots of little configurable options when you first start a game of Football Manager 2012 to help get the database to a size that you're happy with, such as being able to load up all players from a particularly nation, but this year we've added the option to load all players from a particular league too.
There aren't too many changes to the network game this year, but you are now notified when you get chat messages from other managers and you aren't in the chat room. And we've made it more obvious on how to start a network game, by adding a "start new network game" option on the main menu screen.
There are big changes with match analysis though.
Match analysis is something that has been in the game for a few versions now, and gives you lots of information about how you and your opposition have done in a particular match using stats to show you where passes and shots have happened from and the like. But comparing matches has always been a complicated process of going backwards and forwards between the different matches. This year, you can now analyse two matches side by side by picking the matches you want to compare, putting them into the match analysis comparison screen, and it'll show you the difference between how your team performed in the two matches.
Whilst we're talking about analysing matches, we've also added in some new post match stats. So after a match is finished, you can now see stats for shots, shots on target, shots off target, blocked shots, hit the woodwork, clear cut chances, half chances, other chances, long shots, possession, corners, free kicks, throw ins, fouls, offsides, passes completed, passes completed – defence, passes completed – midfield, passes completed – attack, crosses completed, tackles won, headers won, yellow cards, red cards, distance run and average rating.
And whilst we're talking about stats, there's also a new subscription-based competition news item which tells you who the top performers are in various stats on a regular basis. And some new goalkeeper stats, which you can see for yourself when the demo of FM12 are released.
And finally for today, have you ever wanted to compare your star striker in 2040 with your star striker in 2015, only to find the player has long retired and you can't see his stats anymore? Well, you can now set any player in the game to have their history "retained" by the game, meaning that their player history won't ever vanish. All you need to do is click on a little tick box, and he is immortalised in the game forever – the game also chooses some key players to keep stored too.

Devils Complete Regional Sweep With 16-1 Thumping Of UNLV
June 1, 2003
TEMPE, Ariz. - Dustin Pedroia went 3-for-5 and Jeremy West added four hits to help lead the Arizona State Sun Devils to a 16-1 victory over the UNLV Rebels Sunday afternoon at Tempe Diablo Stadium to clinch the NCAA Regional Championship. ASU will move on to the 16-team Super Regionals where they will face Cal State Fullerton next weekend at Goodwin Field. Times, dates and media coverage will be announced on Monday.
The Sun Devils breezed through the regional competition outscoring their opponent 45-3 in the three games. ASU defeated Central Connecticut State 14-2 to open the regional, then handed New Mexico State (15-0) and UNLV (16-1) consecutive losses by a combined score of 31-1. ASU had a streak of 21.1 consecutive scoreless innings snapped when the Rebels scored a run in the bottom of the ninth with two outs.
ASU moves on to the Super Regionals with a 53-12 overall record and has won six straight games. UNLV ended the season with one of its best years in school history going 47-17 and was crowned as both the regular season and tournament Mountain West Conference champions.
Senior starting pitcher Ben Thurmond earned the victory with five shutout innings. Thurmond, a senior transfer from Winthrop, scattered three hits and struck out two to improve to 7-0 on the year. Freshmen lefties Brett Bordes (1.0 IP) and Erik Averill (2.0 IP, 1 H) continued the scoreless innings streak until the Rebels got a meaningless run off junior closer Ryan Schroyer. Thurmond and classmate Beau Vaughan were named to the all-tournament team as the Sun Devil pitching staff combined for an impressive 0.67 ERA during the regional. During ASU's current six-game winning streak the pitchers have a 1.00 team ERA.
Pedroia got things started with a leadoff single in the top of the first and added two more hits to finish the regional 8-for-16 (.500) and was named the Tempe Regional Most Outstanding Player. In his two NCAA Tournament appearances, Pedroia is a combined 18-for-36 (.500). Recording his 41st multi-hit game of the year and moving into fourth place in the ASU single-season annals with his 120th hit of the season, the first-team All-American also tied a season-high with six assists, including an amazing diving play to rob Fernando Valenzuela of a run-scoring single.
West capped a solid tournament with four hits against the school from his hometown. The junior designated hitter went 4-for-6 with two RBI and ended the tournament going 9-for-15 (.600) to earn a spot on the all-regional team. West extended his career-long hitting streak to 21 games in the victory.
Junior center fielder Andre Ethier went 2-for-5 with three runs scored to extend his career-long hitting streak to 20 games. Jeff Larish went 2-for-4 with three RBI and clubbed his team-leading 17th home run. Larish now has 92 RBI on the year to tie for sixth in the ASU single-season record books (Mitch Jones, 2000). He already has recorded 77 walks to rank second in that category as well.
The Devils picked up right where they left off after a 12-run ninth inning in Saturday's 15-0 win over New Mexico State. ASU made a statement right out of the gates scoring six runs in the first inning. Scoring for the 31st time in their opening at-bat in 2003, the Devils used four walks and clutch hits from Dennis Wyrick and Tuffy Gosewisch forge ahead to the 6-0 lead.
ASU added single runs in each the second and third innings to extend its lead to 8-0, then continued the onslaught with two runs in the fourth, four in the fifth and two more in the sixth. Larish hit his team-leading 17th home run of the year in the fourth with a towering shot into the parking lot over the right field fence. UNLV threatened putting a runner in scoring position in the fifth inning, but ASU freshman right fielder Travis Buck jumped high above the fence to rob Valenzuela of a two-run homer.
The depleted UNLV pitching staff couldn't match the potent ASU offense with five pitchers combining to give up 19 hits and 16 runs. Starter Adam Lesko gave up two hits and walked four in only one-third of an inning and was credited with six earned runs. He suffered the loss to fall to 0-3 on the year. Second baseman Garett Shitanishi was the only UNLV player to record a multi-hit game going 2-for-5 with his ninth double of the year. Shitanishi and outfielders Stephen Ghutzman and Eric Nielsen were represented on the all-tournament team.
Game Notes: ASU has now outscored its opponent 81-7 in the last six games dating back to the start of the Arizona series... scoring in the first inning for the 31st time this year, ASU extended its NCAA Consecutive Games Scoring Streak to 498 games... sophomore catcher Tuffy Gosewisch went 1-for-5 and has now recorded at least one hit in 11 of his last 12 games... Ethier (20 games) and West (21 games) each extended their career-long hitting streaks... the Devils scored 10 or more runs for the 35th time this year and fifth straight game... the 19 hits marked the 50th time the Devils have recorded 10 or more hits in 2003... ASU enters the Super Regionals against Cal State Fullerton hitting .352 and pitching for a 3.18 ERA... the ASU bullpen has lowered its ERA to 2.97 for the season.

Basket Case 2 (US - DVD R1)
Gabe Powers hides out at Granny Ruth's house with the rest of the freaks
Duane Bradley (Kevin Van Hentenryck) and his surgically separated lump of a brother Belial are back. After narrowly surviving a fall from a hospital window, the two brothers become media targets. Duane's aunt, Granny Ruth (Annie Ross), whisks the duo away to a secluded mansion where other freaks-in-hiding live out their days away from public scrutiny. But when a snooping tabloid reporter finds them, Duane, Belial, and their new family must stand together to keep their freedom a secret.
It took writer/director Frank Henenlotter eight years to make a sequel to his first film, a charming little horror indie called Basket Case. This is most likely because Basket Case was such as singularly odd film, and one that ended with what appeared to be the definitive death of all its lead characters. After shifting about with equally skuzzy yet uncannily affectionate movie called Brain Damage, the 42nd Street graduate made his way back to familiar stomping ground.
Basket Case 2 is a mixed bag. Gone are the filthy, seething streets of Manhattan and their oddly endearing characters, replaced by the clean, pastels of suburbia. The contrast is, I'm sure, intended, but without the grit and grime the characters loose a bit of their bite. On the other hand, there's something superbly darling about an R-rated horror film that would probably appeal to children. Only the scenes where Belial tears up the 'guilty' parties and gets it on would turn the kiddies off.
The original film was a simple and straightforward revenge tale, but this time Henenlotter bogs his script down with a few too many ideas. Equal rights movements, deranged religious cults, and media tabloid frenzies all take turns in the satire, but the strokes are so broad it's just too obvious. Yet, it's still charming, and even the dated, 'grandpa' humour elicits a few chuckles and a smile. Basically Henenlotter's films, all the ones I've seen, are the kind of fun time trash Troma Studios wishes they could produce.
The family of freaks is the film's finest quality, and like every movie about sideshow types, Basket Case 2 borrows some details from Tod Browning's 1932 classic. Gabe Bartalos' over-the-top and cartoony creations steal the show every time they're on screen, even if they aren't exactly convincingly realistic creations.
Synapse has cleaned this once grungy video release rather impressively, bringing out details once obscured by VHS releases. Lighter scenes look damn near perfect, with only minor compression noise and slightly soft edges. Dark scenes, which are often accompanied by bright red lighting, don't fair quite so well, and suffer some low level noise and macro blocking through out. Still, the attention given to such an obscure and cheap release is to be commended. Too much spit and polish might've robbed the original Basket Case of some of its charm (the flashbacks here are still pretty dirty), Basket Case 2's pastel suburbia handles the digital process with a sort of uncanny grace.
No need for a major overhaul here. Synapse doesn't remix Basket Case 2 into any sort of super-aggressive 5.1 mix, they simply clean up the original Stereo, and it sounds just fine. Dialogue and sound effects are clear, stereo sound effects are effective, and the musical score (which includes the rather catchy electronic credits tune) doesn't muddy the track. Some might complain that the soundtrack is rather thin overall, but this would be the fault of the original designers, not this DVD.
Strangely enough director Henenlotter seems to have had nothing to do with this disc. This is suspicious because Henenlotter supplies Synapse competitor Something Weird Video with movies from his own collection. Perhaps I'm reading too much into things, but you never know….
Anyway, the extras included on this disc consist of two featurettes. 'Beyond the Wicker' has been put together by make-up effects man Gabe Bartalos, who amusingly chats with us about the film from a crematorium. When the fires start burning he has to be subtitled. It's funny because he never acknowledges what's going on. Between Bartolas' shouting is rough behind the scenes footage. This is followed by 'The Man in the Moon Mask', an interview with actor David Emge. Emge is best remembered as Stephen 'Fly Boy' from the original Dawn of the Dead, and for good reason, besides this silent performance from beneath a giant mass of prosthetics, Dawn was just about the only thing the actor ever did on film. Emge's featurette is very short, and not particularly informative, but still good to have around.
Basket Case 2 isn't as good as the original, but it's still good fun, and at the least worth a rent. The film has been missing on R1 DVD for some time now, and Synapse's new disc looks and sounds fantastic, though I could do with a bit more in the way of extras. Maybe this release will coax whoever holds the rights to the first film into releasing an effective special edition.

Shame. As his myriad extras on the great 'SWV' DVD for the first film are wonderful.

So when will part 3 be released on dvd again?
Good to know Vincent.

Didn't know there wasn't a trailer on here. I used to have an old 35mm print of the trailer I stole from the theater I used to run projectors at back in the 90s. Accidently scratched it while playing it one night, now I don't know where it is.

Dude, if you'll notice, Belial definitely learned his stroke from Ron Jeremy... I saw this in the Philippines a long time ago when visiting relatives, and I think I woke up everyone in the house laughing during this scene.
I've never seen 3, actually. I ended up seeing this one first because it was hard to find the other one on VHS in Arizona.
It lacks much of what made #1 such a classic and the 'freaks' are simply absurd (these are fantasy monsters and are not anything remotely human related).
But at least it has the great sex scene (saw it first before general UK release at an all night horror film festival...and that scene brough the house down!) and at least it's better than #3.

David Emge is cool. He kicked ass hunting mutants in "HELLMASTER", which was his last acting role. Unfortunately, he was the only good thing about the movie.

A wide variety of requirements and an even wider array of options plague small business owners when it comes to their online presence and promotional efforts. Many small business leaders have neither the time nor expertise to evaluate, select and implement the most effective website design and marketing technologies that will ultimately help them to utilize their website as a business asset.

I'm looking for hitting partner and/or someone to play games with in South Austin. After years of not playing, I've been playing with a few friends the last 6 months or so but they are just not reliable and don't seem to have the desire to play often enough to get better.
I'm not a beginner, but not really sure what level I would be considered (somewhat consistent but definitely need work on my serve/forehand).
I'm usually available anytime after 5:30/6pm on Mon/Tues/Thurs and anytime on Saturday/Sunday, I just need a day's notice.

10? 9? You name it. Joslin Park is pretty close to me, so how about there? Don't worry about skills, I have been playing tennis for less than 2 years total and am glad to just hit the ball back and forth. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

The Winds of Change Blow
Change is a part of life. We often want something—a process, a perception, a perspective—to be both different and better. At Bluffton, students are prepared for life and service, both of which inevitably involve alteration, transition and transformation, or, in a word, change. Here you will meet Bluffton alumni, students and faculty who are taking what they've learned, and what they are continually learning, and doing their part—big and small—to create a change for the better in the world around them.
On a mission for peace
Dan Hershberger '05 is on a mission for peace—one conversation with one United States Army soldier at a time.
In July 2008, Hershberger began serving as a GI rights counselor with the Military Counseling Network (MCN) and German Mennonite Peace Committee in Bammental, Germany. He counsels U.S. soldiers stationed in Germany and Iraq about GI rights, U.S. Army regulations and discharges on such grounds as conscientious objection.
While taking courses at Bluffton, Hershberger says he began to see a difference between the ways of the world—violence, destruction, coercion, force, greed and retaliation—and the ways of Jesus—forgiveness, love, peace and econciliation. He began to struggle with militaristic ideals, associating the U.S. military and its soldiers with forces of evil.
"It wasn't until I began my work as a GI rights counselor that I recognized just how much I'd dehumanized soldiers," Hershberger says. "I had made them black and white, with no room for nuance or change. I spent years conversing with people about how violence is mainly facilitated through dehumanization—black people, white people, brown people, immigrants, terrorists, etc. I saw how damaging labels were, and yet, here I had labeled soldiers."
While Hershberger is unsupportive of war, he began to see humanity in soldiers by listening to their stories. "I began to see that soldiers didn't join the military because they liked killing or because they were full of hate," he says. "Some were lured by the promises of money and a career. Others joined to serve God and country only to find out through their experiences that serving God and warfare were not compatible. I began to see soldiers as human again—humans who needed support and encouragement."
In September 2008, Hershberger and others working with MCN were recognized by the Evangelical Association for the Pastoral Care of Conscientious Objectors as a recipient of the Friedrich Siegmund-Schulze Award for Nonviolent Action for their efforts to support and assist U.S. military conscientious objectors in obtaining honorable discharges.
"This work is a blessing," says Hershberger. "Listening to soldiers share stories about the transformation that takes place when they realize they can no longer be part of a machine whose main products are violence and destruction. The greatest reward is working with a soldier who, through having Jesus be revealed in a new way, is applying for a discharge on the grounds of conscientious objection."
Finding the means to rebuild
Bluffton senior Kimberly Butte did not sit around wondering who would rebuild the only park in Arlington, Ohio, after the summer 2007 floods washed parts of it away. She took matters into her own hands and, with the help of the Hancock Park District, drafted a grant proposal for funding to rebuild the mess.
Butte came up with the idea for the grant during a Facilities Planning and Construction class she took during the 2008 spring semester. Class members were asked to create proposals for recreation organizations in need of funding.
Having interned with the Hancock Park District for two summers, Butte immediately contacted Tim Brugeman, director of the Hancock Park District, to explore how to best go about requesting funding for the county park. "I grew up in the Arlington Park," Butte says. "I've been playing softball there ever since I was old enough to play. I've made a lot of memories there. So, it made sense to look over Arlington's long-term plan for its park and write a grant to help the village achieve its goals."
The grant—Arlington Park Improvement & Volunteer Recruitment Program—proposed that improvements be made that would stimulate volunteer participation and get community members to become more active in caring for their park. Butte recommended a sand volleyball court, the planting of trees and addition of benches. The volleyball court could be used for Arlington school's summer physical education programs and by community embers. The project could also be a service-learning experience for Arlington high school students involved in the Vocational Agriculture class, the Future Farmers of America organization and seniors' "Give Back" project.
On Oct. 15, 2008, Butte received a phone call from Greg Craven, Arlington Park & Recreation board chairman, informing her that her grant proposal was approved, and the Arlington Park would receive more than $6,000 from The Community Foundation of Findlay-Hancock County. Improvements will begin in the spring of 2009.
"I have much love and admiration for the Park District and what it is doing for our communities in Findlay and Hancock County," says Butte. "I'm happy to have this chance to help others enjoy the park as much as I have."
Campaigning for Change
One summer in Washington D.C. and Simeon Talley '06 knew he wanted to be in politics. "D.C. opened my eyes in many ways," he says. "Knowing that within blocks of each other there are people with tremendous power and influence and people living in poverty preoccupied me. How could this be so?"
As someone who values justice and equality, Talley then asked himself what he was going to do about it. "The conclusion I came to was to become more involved in politics," he says. And, involved Talley became, eventually taking an active role in President-elect Barack Obama's bid for the White House.
In his first year at Bluffton, Talley became active on campus with Young Democrats. During his sophomore and junior years, he interned with the late Congresswoman Stephanie Tubb Jones (D-Ohio), Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) and former Toledo, Ohio, mayor Jack Ford. The latter two internships were funded by Bluffton's Pathways to Mission and Vocation Summer Dreaming grant. Drawing from those experiences, Talley ran for Allen County State Representative as a senior, eventually losing the bid. "I was eager to make a difference," he says. "I had a desire to put my ideas out there about how my community could become better."
After graduation, Talley came across Young People for the American Way, an organization that recruits and trains young people to be future progressive leaders within a democratic society. It was through that organization that Talley connected with Obama's campaign for the presidency: "I crossed paths with someone who knew someone in Iowa. I told him that if there was any way he could connect me to please do so. And, he did."
Talley started out as a field organizer in Des Moines, doing community outreach. During the primaries, he traveled from state to state before settling in Chicago to work out of the Obama for America headquarters as deputy director of African-American Vote.
As deputy director, Talley was responsible for interacting with state staff to increase the number of African-American voters throughout the United States. "Our goal was to engage African Americans and articulate Senator Obama's policy positions and agenda in ways that people could understand," he said. "We didn't want African Americans voting for Senator Obama just because he was African-American but rather because they understood and believed in his policy agenda."
Talley says that he wanted to be part of the presidential campaign because he knew that it would be history-making. "Win or lose, I wanted to be on the right side of history," he says. "There was a sense of hope and optimism with Senator Obama. His ability to galvanize people and to bring new people into the democratic process was inspirational."
Now working on the presidential transition team, Talley hopes to one day work in the Obama administration. "People are attracted to politics because they see the current state that their community, state and world are in," he says. "They think things could be better, or they could be different. That's change. And that's what I saw the summer after my senior year of high school. I could see that things needed to be different, and I wanted to be a part of it."
Show, Don't Tell
Bill Hilt '91 never considered Perrysburg, Ohio, a diverse place when he was growing up. It wasn't until his time at Bluffton that he began to think more about what it means to live in a diverse society. "As a junior and senior, I roomed with someone from Kenya," says Hilt. "Jack really helped open my eyes to going beyond skin color to celebrating our differences, not just accepting them."
That celebration of differences is something that Hilt continues to embrace every day. And, it's an action that he encourages his seventh-grade social studies students at Perrysburg Junior High to embrace, too. One way he does that is to show them his constant eagerness to learn about other cultures.
After hosting a Ukrainian educator as part of a teacher exchange program, Hilt joined Bowling Green State University's International Democratic Education Institute (IDEI), which connects school teachers, university faculty and other educators from the United States with colleagues in emerging democracies to further the development and understanding of democratic education.
"In the United States, we take a lot for granted," says Hilt. "In developing democracies, it's amazing to see how excited kids get when it comes to learning opportunities. IDEI encourages projects like Project Citizen that get kids involved at the grassroots level to make change happen." A program for school-aged children, Project Citizen helps participants learn how to monitor and influence public policy, while developing support for democratic values and principles, tolerance and feelings of political efficacy. "Our kids really can affect change," says Hilt.
In April 2006, Hilt traveled to Ukraine to present teamteaching concepts through various workshops. Two years later, he went abroad again, this time to Morocco, where he met with Moroccan teachers, university deans and the country's minister of education. He helped create a ninth grade civic-education curriculum approved by Morocco's King Mohammed VI.
Hilt incorporates his work and travels into his class curriculum to help change perceptions his students may have of other cultures. "As educators, we are working to create exchanges and partnerships between ourselves and students," says Hilt. "Our goal is to reduce stereotyping and increase tolerance across all cultures."
That's why Hilt created the Diversity Project. For 14 years, he has assigned a six-week project that has two phases: cultural immersion and cultural study. For the first part, students participate in activities associated with a different culture. Examples include attending another culture's religious service, eating at three ethnic restaurants, sleeping outside in a box, fasting from food for a day or, perhaps, using a wheelchair for a day. Students then select a country and complete an in-depth analysis of its culture. "Over the years, I've received tons of feedback from students about how much they enjoyed the project and how much they learned," says Hilt. "It really helps to make students aware of the diversity around them."
Change Through Individuals
With World Vision since 1998, Abikök Riak '94 has spent much time in a variety of roles identifying peaceful ways in which nongovernmental organizations can provide assistance in conflict settings and help local people to stop fighting and develop systems for settling the problems.
Riak says the Rwandan post-genocide days served as a wakeup call for the international assistance community: "Aid agencies were directly supporting those who were perpetuating the genocide, essentially helping them to re-energize and commit more atrocities."
Members of the Collaborative Learning Project began to think of ways in which individuals who work in relief and development situations in conflict could implement their assistance more effectively. "We wanted to contribute to local capacities for peace rather than exacerbating conflict or creating more tension between groups in conflict," says Riak.
Working as a program officer, Riak carefully studied World Vision's program in Southern Sudan, looking into all of its systems and processes, from human resources, recruitment and procurement of relief items to who World Vision partnered with and why. "I wanted to determine if we were doing what we were doing in a way that supported peace rather than conflict," says Riak. She would also serve as regional peacebuilding coordinator in the Asia-Pacific region and as a program officer for the Eurasia region.
Currently, Riak is serving as director of grants acquisition and management. Working with a $60 million (U.S.) portfolio, she leads a team that is responsible for U.S. government grant acquisitions in Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. "We develop strategies to decide which opportunities to pursue and, in response to that, either write proposals or develop partnerships with those interested in being a lead organization on a particular project," she says.
In January, Riak will become director of operations and program effectiveness, working to ensure that teams are effective in maximizing the contribution of World Vision U.S. in supporting child well-being through improved capacity and a consistent, unified approach to program quality.
These days, working with national staff to build their capacity on organizational effectiveness and change is ultimately what excites and energizes Riak. "These people are working in positions where they can influence change," she says. "Working with operations at a director level and building their capacity to understand their role and effectiveness as a change agent. That's what excites me—change through individuals."

I arrived at Rockwell. Got dropped off at Estrella Street. Was going to walk to the Power Plant, but this elderly gentleman asked me if I wanted a ride on his bicycle car. I was happy to hop into the contraption, as it saved me from the walk. It was an interesting experience to ride in the bicycle car, while this pleasant fellow peddled along the street. While he was treading along, a car nearly hit us at an intersection. The man's bicycle couldn't keep up with the flow of traffic, but he didn't fret. He brushed the incident off his shoulders like a true boss. After the 5 min bike ride, I get out of his cart and asked him, "Kuya, anong tawag ulit sa bike mo?" He replied with a … [Read more...]

A small number of SLU LAW students are selected each spring to spend the fall semester of their third year at The University College Cork, Ireland. Founded in 1845, Cork's Faculty of Law includes 19 full-time faculty members who have practice qualifications, active research records and strong commitments to teaching and scholarship. Areas of law faculty expertise include Irish law, European Union law, public international law, human rights law, environmental law, labor law, medical law, terrorism/organized crime law, and women and the law. The City of Cork is located in southern Ireland near the head of Cork Harbor, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. The city dates from a religious settlement founded in AD 622 by Saint Finbar. Occupied by the Danes in the 9th century and by Oliver Cromwell in 1649, Cork is now the second largest city in Ireland with a population of about 140,000 and a center for Irish culture and music.
Students who successfully complete courses receive credit toward their J.D. degrees from the School of Law. Participants typically take at least 12 credit hours during the exchange and the School of Law will accept a maximum of 14 credits. These credits will not factor into the student's cumulative grade point average but appear as letter grades on the student's transcript.

Thermaltake Spedo Advance Package Review
It is finally happening; winter is here and it seems like it is going to stick around for awhile. It's cold outside and you have to bust out the ice scraper just to get to work. You pop your key in your ignition, and your car sputters and dies. This happens for a couple minutes until you just hear clicking when turning over your key. "Great just freakin great" you say grinding your teeth "the battery is dead." Looks like you are hoofing it to work today. On your way to work you pass by the lake and see a bunch of geriatric polar bear swimmers in their speedo's running into the freezing cold water and loving every minute of it.
What can we take from this lesson? Well the Thermaltake Spedo Case states better then anyone in its slogan "think excitement think spedo." Personally a speedo isn't the first thing that comes to my mind when I am thinking excitement but apparently someone in the marketing department in Thermaltake does. Let's see exactly how exciting the spedo is and also see if it measures up to a 70+ year old man running into ice water wearing glorified bikini bottoms; as far as its cooling capability goes.
Closer Look
I was pleased to see they went with a picture of the case and a ghosted image of a car going fast on there packaging instead of a creepy European sunbather guy sporting a leopard speedo. Once again I question their reasoning on the name but I digress. The packaging has a lot for interesting information on the case. The Thermaltake spedo is totally loaded in fact this is no standard spedo it's the "advanced package." At this point I was feeling pretty impressed with myself it's not just anyone that get the "Advanced package spedo." Sexual innuendo's aside I can't wait to get a look at this case.
The Thermaltake Spedo Advanced Package is well packed as are all Thermaltake products the foam protects the case from drop damage and the cheese type cloth keeps the case scratch and dust free.
The Thermaltake Spedo Advanced Package includes everything you would need for a new case plus a few extras, there are 2 psu extension cables one for pci-e and one for the motherboard cables. It includes all the hardware you need for mounting your board and fans. It includes an additional 120mm fan to put where you like. It also includes extra drive bay sleeves and a floppy drive bay reducer and faceplate.
Let's take a closer look at this case and its additional features
