Jeffrey Sachs, Columbia University professor and director of the Earth Institute, is one of our leading public intellectuals. A trained economist (who became a full professor at Harvard University when he was only 29 years old), Sachs boldly ventures into other disciplines. He is as agile citing the latest biological studies on habitat change as he is referring to obscure econometric research on monetary policy.
Unlike many academics, Sachs is committed to getting his ideas out to the public, authoring the best-selling book The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time and, most recently, Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet. And he is not afraid to put his theories into action. In the 1980s Sachs helped the Bolivian government fight hyperinflation; in the 1990s he helped Poland and Russia transition from communism to capitalism; and in the 2000s he worked with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to implement the Millennium Development Goals.
Because of his wide-ranging theoretical and practical work, not only is Sachs one of the few people who understand the scope of the world's economic, social, and environmental challenges, he is also able to come up with practical solutions to solve them. Critics may question Sachs's ideas and solutions, but they can't question his commitment.
In this interview with Stanford Social Innovation Review Managing Editor Eric Nee, Sachs explains why sustainable development is humanity's most pressing challenge, why lifting billions of people out of poverty is the first order of business, and why the development of new technologies offers the best hope for simultaneously increasing economic growth while reducing our impact on the planet.
Eric Nee: You have spent decades studying and trying to fix some of the world's thorniest problems, such as economic development and poverty. How would you characterize the state of affairs?
Jeffrey Sachs: The world has become extraordinarily crowded with about 6.8 billion people. At the same time, production has become so efficient, and demand for basic resources is rising at such an extraordinary rate, that we are pressing very hard against the earth's ecosystems. As a result, we have a remarkable amount of geopolitical change, from unprecedented economic success stories like China, to calamitous economic andhumanitarian crises like the one in the Horn of Africa.
When you add it all together, I see a crowded, interconnected, and environmentally stressed world, facing the added stress of huge political change and very deep crises in certain regions. The challenge is finding a path that brings rising levels of prosperity for all that does not simultaneously undermine the physical life-support systems of the planet—in other words, sustainable development. We've not figured out how to do that yet.
You have been working on economic development for more than 25 years. When did you begin to understand the ecological aspects of the issue?
For a long time I thought of the challenge of globalization mostly in economic terms—how can each part of the world find an effective role in what is quickly becoming a single integrated global economy. The more I immersed myself in those issues, the more I found out that the physical world kept intruding in ways that I had not been trained to expect and that I hadn't worked on before. For example, the epidemic diseases that engulfed Africa, especially in the last 25 years with the spread of AIDS, but also the resurgence of malaria and other killers.
As I began to look more closely at those issues, and especially as I got more involved in the rural challenges in south Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the fragility of the resource base became a more and more dramatic signal that something was wrong. I was seeing it with my own eyes. Entire regions were trapped in famine by repeated droughts, where the short rains had essentially disappeared entirely and the land was so degraded that large areas were bereft of reliable crops.
None of this is novel to an ecologist or to those who have been in the forefront of environmental challenges. I discovered it by wending through this maze of challenges, starting from macroeconomics, moving on to development, coming to realize the impact of disease, food production, and hunger, and more recently dealing with challenges like energy, climate change, and water.
A problem of this magnitude can seem unsolvable. How do you make it a manageable problem that people believe can be solved?
As we train ourselves to address these problems we need to be able to pull them apart to their constituent components. But we also need to be able to go in the other direction, because many of the areas of expertise and technology that are a part of the solutions are now inside silos. The intellectual and practical tasks are both to take a large problem and put it into manageable components, and at the same time move in the other direction that brings different parts of the university, different parts of our knowledge system, and different parts of government together so that we can find the cross-linkages.
You've identified two institutions, universities and government, that are some of the most resistant to change.
I think government is the harder one to change. Universities have increasingly recognized that the problems we're addressing don't come packaged by departments. There's a tremendous amount of ferment in universities—new programs, more interdisciplinary work, new institutions. Great universities recognize not only that they are engaged in the research and teaching of disciplinary expertise, but that they also have to be engaged in problem solving. Problems don't always come packaged the way we would like them to be, and sustainable development absolutely does not come packaged according to traditional lines of faculty or departments. I'm rather optimistic about what I'm seeing at the universities, as long as the spirit of the university is to engage deeply as a participant in actual problem solving and not see itself as an outside scorekeeper or observer.
How do we tackle the problem of sustainable development?
I view the sustainable development challenge as having two components. The first component is to address the problem of extreme poverty, because this is a challenge that claims millions of lives every year. In addition, there is the challenge of finding a way to have long-term development consistent with environmental sustainability and the conservation of ecosystem functions.
The most urgent task is to address the needs of the poorest of the poor. For them, every day is a struggle for survival, and millions, perhaps 10 to 20 million, lose that struggle each year. These are tragedies that are so dramatic and so unnecessary in their scale that we need to turn our attention to them. They're also dangerous for the planet because these are the places that end up in chaos, violence and war, in mass movements of population, and unfortunately where Americans end up sending troops and getting enmeshed in problems that can't be solved through military means.
I've identified six areas that I think are crucial to ending extreme poverty—agriculture, health, education, infrastructure, business development, and environmental conservation—and that can be defined in very implementable and practical terms. I've been arguing for the past decade that we can make tremendous headway against poverty, killer diseases, the lack of productivity of the rural poor, and so forth, through integrated systems-based and technology-based approaches in those six areas.
Even if those problems were to be addressed adequately and quickly, it would not at all solve the other overarching problem on the planet. In fact, it would probably exacerbate it mildly, though not very much. And that's the fact that—putting aside the billion to a billion and a half poorest people—the five and a half billion others on the planet are already using resources at such a level, and are tending to increase their resource use at such a rate, that the trajectory of global society is unsustainable.
What areas should we focus on to become more sustainable?
The first is to develop sustainable agriculture. Agriculture accounts for about a third of all greenhouse gas emissions. It also accounts for the predominant challenges of hydrology, invasive species, habitat destruction, and so forth. We need to focus on sustainable agriculture in far more thoughtful ways than we have. There's plenty of brilliant insight and technical possibility for quite significant progress. The second huge area is the way we deploy energy. I think everybody now recognizes that energy needs to be overhauled, partly because of the stresses of conventional energy sources and also because of its environmental impacts, especially related to climate change and ocean acidification.
The third area is the host of industrial ecology challenges. These are the traditional pollutants, toxics, and waste products that come from poorly engineered industrial systems. The fourth thing we need to do is to get control over the global population. If we don't, we'll find that many of the solutions we're able to muster will keep getting overwhelmed by the added billions of people on the planet. Although population growth has largely disappeared from public discourse, it remains a very serious issue.
The fifth area is that even if we address agriculture, energy, industrial ecology, and population growth, there are regions of the world that are at risk of becoming essentially nonviable in the next 50 years because of the climate change that's already under way. Typically, these will be among the poorest places in the world, partly because environmentally marginal places cause poverty and partly because these environmental shocks will increase the numbers of people trapped in poverty.
In which of these areas are we making the most headway?
On the poverty side, there have been some huge advances in disease control in the last 15 to 20 years because of new vaccinations and new mechanisms for enabling poor countries to take up these vaccines. The Gates Foundation has had a major role in all of this. There's a new, proactive, and increasingly effective campaign against malaria, which is showing tremendous results. There are some glimmers of breakthrough in the chronic food crisis of Africa by showing how the yields per hectare can be dramatically increased even in very poor places. The leader of this in recent years is a very poor country in south central Africa—Malawi. You can find these success stories, but at the same time they don't reach the continental scale and certainly not the global scale.
An area where there has been a big impact is information and communication technology. It is the one area of technological advance that's now dramatically penetrating the poor world on a market basis. The most important example of this—and it's more than an example, it's a transformation—is the spread of mobile phones to virtually every village in the world. Five years ago in the villages where I was working there wasn't a mobile phone in sight. Today, on average, perhaps 25 percent to 30 percent of the households in these villages own their own mobile phone. This digital connectivity provides a new platform for the successful delivery of other technologies and transformative changes.
Turning to the environment, we have a tremendous portfolio of promising technologies: new ways to bring safe nuclear energy; new ways to harness, transmit, and store wind and solar energy; and breakthroughs in electric vehicles, battery storage, and integration of electric propulsion with information and communication technologies that are going to make cars not only low emission but also a lot smarter.
In agriculture, there are many new smart agricultural systems. There's a whole field of agroecology, low-till agriculture, integrated pest management, microdose fertilizer, better and more efficient water management, biotechnologies for drought-resistant crops, and other ecologically sound farming methods.
Of course, the solutions to these problems are not solely technological.
There are some areas of success in both poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability, but in neither case are we close to achieving a globally scaled approach to real solutions. That's because the defining aspect of both of these challenges is that they won't be solved by markets. They require political decisions, and political decisions require political will. Not the political will of leaders, because our leaders are mostly followers. It requires societies to decide to act in their interest, in the interest of others on the planet, and in the interest of future generations. That is hard, because it requires public consensus that needs to be built on an understanding of these problems in their mechanistic sense, as well as the development of shared values that these problems are important to address.
One of the challenges is that these problems have come much faster than our understanding or our institutions can accommodate. The rise of China and India and the implications of that for global energy, food, climate functioning, as well as geopolitics and the nature of the world economy, have happened so fast that we barely have begun to comprehend it in a deep way. We have considerable widespread anxiety, but we don't have a lot of healthy institutional change.
Most of the institutions that are charged to deal with these problems are post-World War II institutions like the United Nations, or departments of government that were created in the 20th century along structural lines that are not equipped to understand these challenges or to treat them in a holistic way. The world has not developed a political or ethical sensibility of a global society.
One can find overwhelming reasons for optimism that there are technical solutions to these problems. You can even define technologies that either exist or are within reach in the next 10 to 20 years that could achieve a global scale to make a profound difference on both of these challenges. But they don't add up to global problem solving yet.
One only has to look just off our southern shore at Haiti to see that these problems are still with us.
Exactly. Haiti demonstrates so many tragic aspects of neglect. Low-cost structural reinforcement of buildings could have saved tens of thousands of lives. The tragedy also demonstrates the unanticipated, bizarre, and damaging consequences of U.S. actions vis-à-vis Haiti over the last 30 years, such as putting on trade embargos to try to create political change that instead ended up destroying the economy. And all of this is happening an hour or two flight off of our border. So yes, it's a compelling demonstration of how we're just not quite getting this right yet.

* Leaders hoped to appeal to Latino voters after 2012 defeat
* Traditional opposition surfacing in early debates on
reform bill
By Caren Bohan
WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - When a bipartisan group of
U.S. senators began writing legislation to overhaul the nation's
immigration laws in January, many Republican leaders embraced
the effort as a savvy strategy for fixing the party's tattered
image with Hispanic voters.
But since the bill was rolled out last week, a rift has
emerged among conservatives that has played out in Senate
hearings on Capitol Hill, on conservative talk shows and in
social media such as Twitter and blogs.
The immigration effort has brought together an unusual
coalition of Republicans, led by Florida Senator Marco Rubio, a
potential 2016 presidential prospect, Arizona Senator John
McCain, a former presidential candidate who has broken ranks
with his party on some issues, and conservative anti-tax
activist Grover Norquist.
But it has also put a spotlight on longstanding opposition
to immigration reform within the party, potentially blunting the
message party leaders had hoped to send in their efforts to
remake the party's image, begun in earnest by the Republican
National Committee after President Barack Obama swept to victory
with 71 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2012.
Opponents of immigration reform include some traditional
conservatives such as Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama as well
as some relative newcomers, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a
Tea Party favorite. Another opponent of the immigration reform
bill is Jim DeMint, a former South Carolina senator who is now
president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
Luke Frans, executive director of Resurgent Republic, an
organization that conducts polling and research for Republicans,
said his group has met with Capitol Hill Republicans on the
subject, advising them to avoid allowing the debate over
immigration to become a "circular firing squad" in which
Republicans are attacking their own.
"Conservatives have certainly seen in past debates where
it's veered off the policy and become more of a personal tone.
That's what we're really trying to avoid this time around," he
Critics of the legislation have labeled as "amnesty" a
provision at the heart of the bill that would grant legal status
to millions of undocumented immigrants. They also warn that the
legislation would drive up the federal debt as immigrants
eventually become eligible for federal benefits such as Social
Supporters say providing legal status for the undocumented
would bring people out of the shadows and ensure that they are
working and paying taxes. Advocates also say the bill, which
would establish new guest worker programs for both highly
skilled and low-skilled workers, would boost the economy by
making the labor market more flexible.
The debate is still in its early stages and many Republicans
say the rancor is still far from the level that it reached in
past immigration debates, such as one in 2006 and 2007 when
criticism of comprehensive immigration reform on talk radio
jammed phone lines at the Capitol.
But it may not be far beneath the surface either, to judge
from some of the exchanges in the past week.
In a posting that highlighted the divisions among
conservatives, Erick Erickson of the influential RedState
political blog accused Rubio staffers and other supporters of
the immigration bill of trying to paint critics as bigoted and
Elsewhere, especially on Twitter, some conservative
opponents of the immigration bill accused Rubio - falsely - of
supporting the distribution of free phones to illegal
Rubio has spent much of the last week appearing on
conservative radio and TV stations to defend the legislation.
"We always realized that this was a complicated issue and
that we were going to have to spend a lot of time explaining
it," Rubio spokesman Alex Conant said. Conant described the
response so far in conservative media as "mixed."
The bomb attack at the Boston Marathon last week that was
allegedly carried out by two immigrant brothers of Chechnyan
descent intensified the debate among Republicans over the
immigration bill.
Some Republicans, including Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa
and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, said the Boston attack, which
killed three people and injured more than 250, were a reason to
be cautious on immigration reform.
But other Republicans, including House of Representatives
Speaker John Boehner and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul
Ryan, argued that the Boston bombing showed the need to fix and
modernize the immigration system.
While DeMint of the Heritage Foundation has been a vocal
skeptic of the immigration reform bill, many of the scholars at
two other influential conservative research organizations, the
Cato Institute and the American Enterprise Institute, have been
supportive of broad reform.
Charlie Black, a longtime adviser to Republican candidates
who is now chairman of Prime Policy Group, a public affairs
consulting firm, said the divisions among Republicans do not
break down "along traditional lines" of conservative and
Whit Ayres, a Republican strategist who backs immigration
reform, said Republican voters who may be skeptical of the
effort are persuadable if proponents use the right message on
immigration reform.
He said the strongest argument is that the current
immigration system amounts to a "de facto amnesty" and that
reforming the system is "better than anything (Democratic
President) Barack Obama, left to his own devices, is likely to
come up with."
Some conservative activists may be easier to persuade than
others on immigration reform.
Chris Littleton of the Tea Party group Ohio Rising, said he
did not understand what was behind all of the criticism of
immigration reform.
"There are clearly employers who need low-cost labor and
immigrants who want jobs, so there is clearly a functioning
market here. Everybody's benefiting from the situation so I
don't know why we need this debate," he said.
But David Crow of the Arkansas Conservative Caucus, another
Tea Party group, said the proposed immigration bill would
"simply create a magnet for more and more people to come across
the border."
"In my opinion it is a huge mistake to go down this path
when it's evident it will attract more and more illegal aliens,"
Crow added

Winning games
In most games who wins and who loses is the whole point of playing. It would be hard to imagine a more unpopular outcome in a reality TV series, than an announcement that all the players ended up as winners! It is, of course, beneficial that better-motivated and more enterprising players take the place of the lazy, the incompetent, and the unmotivated.
But zero-sum thinking and the winner-takes-all philosophy do not serve us any more. As there are more losers than winners in our games losers multiply as winning behaviours are replicated in the smaller winners' circles and losing behaviours are replicated in the bigger losers' circles.
The biggest problem is that as losers are excluded from the game, they are not allowed to learn. The divide between winners and losers grows constantly. This is why, in the end, the winners have to pay the price of winning in one way or another. The bigger the divide is, the bigger the price that has to be paid. The winners end up having to take care of the losers, or two totally different cultures start to form, as is happening today in many developed countries and cities.
Psychologically, competitive games create shadow games of losers competing at losing.
The games we play have been played under the assumption that the unit of survival is the individual, a team of people or a company. However, the reality is that the unit of survival is the players in the game being played. Following Darwinian rhetoric, the unit of survival is the species in its environment. Who wins and who loses is of minor importance compared to the decay of the (game) environment as a result of the competition.
We need a new concept of games in the creative economy. The players and their contributions in the real world are, and should be, too qualitatively different to be compared quantitatively. Unless all the players are comparable and want the very same thing, there cannot be a genuine contest.
Zero-sum games were the offspring of scarcity. In the era of creativity and abundance, new approaches are desperately needed.
As there simply cannot be pre-existing rules for every conceivable situation that might arise, we have to move beyond seeing the players and the rule-makers as separate parties. Real-life games are too complex to be governed totally from outside. We need participation based on values- and strong ethics as a prerequisite for taking part.
The players have the responsibility not only for adhering to the existing rules, but also for developing the rules further – specifically when the game (environment) decays as a result of the actions of the players.
In creative games the winners would be all those whose participation, comments and contributions were incorporated into the development of the game.

Liberty News
LU supporter to receive top award
Liberty University Board of Trustees member Harvey Gainey has been selected as a Civic Leader Award winner and will be honored at the 23rd Annual Governor's Awards for Arts & Culture (The Guvvys) on Nov. 13 at the Detroit Institute of Art. The award is given to those who display strong leadership in the support and promotion of Michigan arts and culture.
"I cannot think of anyone who deserves this award more than Harvey Gainey," said Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. "Harvey Gainey is a successful businessman who always kept his faith, his family and service to others his first priorities. Liberty University greatly appreciates Harvey Gainey's friendship and congratulates him for this well deserved award."
Falwell said Harvey has been a loyal supporter of LU, giving sacrificially to the university at a time when it was struggling financially.
"He is one of a handful of donors who were key to placing the university on the firm financial foundation that it enjoys today," he said.
Harvey and his wife, Ereveene, have been close personal friends of the Falwell family for many years, he said, and made a special trip from Michigan shortly after the late Dr. Jerry Falwell died to spend the day with his wife, Macel Falwell.
Gainey is an executive at the Gainey Corporation, one of Michigan's fastest growing freight companies, and donates his time to community work with the Hope Lodge, the Gainey Family YMCA and WOODTV Angel Tree. As a board chairman of Broadway Grand Rapids (BGR) since 2001, he developed the Broadway in Education program, awarding free tickets to local schools, as well as the Broadway Grand Rapids Grand Awards Scholarship, which awards more than $120,000 to those who give outstanding contributions to the arts.

Some of the industry/public kite figures kept it real, some very much didn't. When the actual riders/competitors of a sport (KBR) are asked not to contribute their opinions to debate, you know something is up, and it was.
Without grassroots riders making the decisions for their sport, no one will turn up. Some may take a golden carrot on a stick and possibly get stuck, but generally the riders will hold the status quo at ISAF/IKA/PRKA/Potential Olympic type events, and if not, no one will bother turning up to compete.

Buenos Aires area guide
By Matt Chesterton
Don't plan too far in advance or too assiduously. The shopworn phrase 'you never know what might be around the next corner' might have been invented for the Argentinian capital.
You won't have time to explore all of the 2,154 streets, avenues and motorways, whose straight lines partition Buenos Aires into thousands of rectangular blocks; but since most of the landmarks of interest to the visitor are obligingly sited on the city's eastern side, in barrios such as San Telmo, Recoleta and Palermo, you can narrow down your target list.
As well as expecting the unexpected, you should prepare for the predictable: whimsical opening and closing times; a public transport system ill-equipped for the 21st century; dog walkers who have never heard of the gutter, let alone a poop-scoop; police officers who are more likely to bum a cigarette off you than to give you accurate directions; and driving so bad and so dangerous as to be almost parodic.
Thankfully, BA's charms far outnumber its frustrations. Some of the magic is down to form. The seemingly endless calles are perfumed with that unique amalgam of blossom and barbecue smoke; the glorious array of churches, palaces and public buildings that seems to run the gamut of every architectural style known to humankind (and some known only to porteños); the kooky little cobblestoned pasajes and alleyways with their Dickensian shops and crooked houses.
The city is largely laid out on the standard Spanish colonial-style grid pattern of wide avenidas and narrower calles in regular blocks, called cuadras or manzanas, with a regular numbering system that makes navigation relatively easy.
Maps are rarely oriented north, instead flipping the city to show the river to the south. In fact, Avenida 9 de Julio, the city's main thoroughfare, runs north-south.
Traffic is one-way: to orient yourself remember that on Avenidas Santa Fe and Corrientes traffic heads towards downtown, and away from it on Avenida Cordóba. The names of the north-south streets change at Avenida Rivadavia.
Getting around
If you want a quick overall view of the city, take a colectivo (public bus); or if you're in a hurry, one of the guided air-con buses serving the hotels (ask your hotel concierge for details). Taxis are also affordable, and it's enjoyable to roll down the window and watch the city pass by.
The Subte (subway) is ideal for central areas, but Buenos Aires only truly lays bare its soul to those prepared to go overground and on foot. In recognition of this, the local government (Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) has launched a free 'guided walks' service. For further details, go to the 'Recorridos' section on their website (www.bue.gov.ar).
Buenos Aires by barrio
Not all porteños use the city government's barrio denominations, although you'll see them on many maps. For instance, Once is not technically speaking a barrio, but everyone uses the term for the commercial zone around Once de Septiembre train station. Hardly anyone uses the barrio names Balvanera or San Nicolás, preferring to highlight major buildings in those zones, such as the Abasto shopping mall and Congreso.
The Centre's focal point is Plaza de Mayo: the city's original main square and site of many important public buildings. Elegant Avenida de Mayo runs from the plaza across gaping Avenida 9 de Julio to the Plaza del Congreso, in the barrio of Congreso. Next door is Tribunales, the legal quarter, and to the north the railway terminal of Retiro. The Microcentro is the capital's downtown, a pullulating commercial and financial hub.
South of the centre
The South of the Centre includes Monserrat, the historic district south of the Plaza de Mayo. San Telmo follows, drawing visitors to its antiques, tango and bustling Plaza Dorrego. Lying on the Riachuelo (the little river that empties into the River Plate) is La Boca, a working-class barrio that's famous for its football team and colourful street, Caminito. Run-down Constitución contains the railway terminal for the south.
North of the Centre
Beyond Retiro, is Recoleta, where the rich live and the famous are buried. Its cemetery, plazas, shops and museums make it a tourist magnet. Barrio Norte is a neighbouring residential district. Further north is Palermo. It has three distinct sub-areas around the huge Parque Tres de Febrero: expansive Palermo proper, a middle-class residential area with gardens, the zoo and well-kept plazas; opulent, tranquil Palermo Chico; and trendy Palermo Viejo (unofficially divided into sub-barrios Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood), full of hip restaurants and boutiques.
West of the Centre
Just to the West of the Centre are Once and Abasto, rich in immigration, history, tango and commerce. Other western barrios for visitors willing to wander are Caballito, Villa Crespo and, slightly north, Chacarita.
Along the river
Along the River is the Costanera Norte, north of the city airport, a popular place for weekend promenades. Next to the southern bank of the river is Puerto Madero (BA's yuppie dockland complex) and Costanera Sur, skirting the coastal eco-reserve.
Further afield
Heading Further Afield to the north is Belgrano, with its plazas, museums and shops; nearby is Nuñez. Further still, beyond the limits of the capital, are the wealthier suburbs of Zona Norte: Olivos, Martínez and San Isidro. On the city's western edge are Liniers and Mataderos, both associated with cowboys, cattle-dealing and meatpacking.
But so much of what makes BA great is down to content, by which we mean the three million people who live, work and play in the federal capital. The extraordinary pleasure that porteños derive from sharing the beauty of their hometown with foreigners is something that most visitors will remember long after the canonical landmarks are forgotten. So don't just walk, talk.

text: I have a number of things in process at this time but this is where I am on my jetpack for ROTJ Boba Fett. This started as a couple of different pepakura files that I melded together (Skip & Soba). Card stock outer construction with architectural cardboard inner structure forming a laminate with gusseted corners. When I had this all completed I used smooth cast to coat the inside to fill in all the corners and gaps to tie everything together. The rocket & thrusters are made to be detachable. I am at the phase where I am getting the outside filled and smoothed and ready for paint. I have found that I have had to keep many things going at during waiting time while things dry, the only thing I have completed currently is my gauntlets. Also made my beacon & stabilizer from scratch. The beacon I made out of 3/4" copper tubing and the stabilizer made from some architectural cardboard, pen, & micrometer ratchet thimble. It came out so far only weighing in at 4 pounds and it is very sturdy.

I took a friend to breakfast this weekend, who lost his wife on Friday to cancer. He was out in the world of people who did not know his pain. It was still raw.
We sat and had breakfast and the hard part was, it was still new to him. People laughed. They joked. They smiled. How dare they?
Here was someone who lost his loving wife barely 48 hours before. How dare they get on with their lives when he was still mourning?
I pointed to a few people. THAT guy has a daughter who is in a wheelchair, unable to speak. He's telling a joke.
That woman over there? She lost her husband to Alzheimers and he did not know who she was for the past five years. She's asking for an extra schmear of cream cheese.
That ten-year old? She empties her brothers colostomy bag several times a day and tries to explain to her classmates what that is like, but they don't get it.
The old guy with the VFW hat? He tried to save his friend in battle, only to see him bleed out. He has never forgotten it and he lives that experience every day.
Life sucks on so many levels. They say, if we put all of our troubles in a sack and picked one out, we would wish for our own troubles, no one elses.
Fact is, we did not have that conversation. But if we had, we'd get a glimpse into other people's lives. Thankful for what we had, anger at what we have lost.
I have been there. I was the guy, 24 hours after I lost my daughter, someone took me to breakfast. Among the living. I was in a different place, My emotions were exposed. How could they live when my daughter was dead,
Life is not kind. It gives us so much, and takes away even more.
So, for the past 16 years-and for my friend 24 hours-how do we go on?
Time heals all wounds is a nice phrase, but it's just words.
Faith? Many people lose faith. What kind of God would take those we loved?
I don't know the answer. I have all the questions though.
I just know that anyone reading this column has experienced pain. How do we go on, I ask again.
We maybe believe in friends who come to our rescue. Or family who tell a few jokes but give us a hug. Or the people who show up at a memorial service just because they need to be there. For their own or for the mourning.
After 16 years, I laugh. I have joy. I miss my daughter. Much like my friend misses his wife.
For me, I have the years. For him, he still has hours. And the next 72 hours, 72 days, 7 months, he will mourn. And I stand by him. I can tell you, I have been able to laugh again.
Hopefully, he will. And today, over a bagel and a schmear, he cracked a smile.
It's a step. We never leave those we love behind. But we carry them in the days ahead and pray-and hope- we find joy in our lives again.
It worked for me and I hope it works for him.
I know it will.

MACON, Ga. – Men's basketball in the Atlantic Sun Conference continued its steady climb up the RPI ladder during the 2010-11 season by finishing the year as the 17th ranked conference. With eight of the 11 teams equaling or improving their RPI from 2009-10, the A-Sun produced once of its most successful seasons in a number of years and finished ahead of 15 other conferences including the Ohio Valley (OVC), Southern, Big South, Mid-American (MAC), Summit and Sun Belt.
ETSU and Belmont both finished in the RPI Top-100 with the Bruins taking the 56th spot and the Buccaneers landing at No. 89. The biggest improvement in RPI came from UNF by jumping from 236th in 2010 to 152nd this season as the Ospreys advanced to the A-Sun Championship Final for the first time in the program's history. Lipscomb, Jacksonville, FGCU and Stetson all saw progress in its RPI standing, as well.
The advancement of the A-Sun's RPI saw instant results as Jacksonville, ETSU and Belmont all reached a national tournament following the A-Sun Championship. The three teams in postseason play tied the A-Sun record set in the 1988 and 2004 seasons.
Given the opportunity to continue their seasons, ETSU and Jacksonville didn't waste the chance as both teams earned victories in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, which marked the first time in A-Sun history that two teams earned postseason victories.
The Buccaneers defeated two opponents in the CIT – Furman and Ohio – after finishing second in the A-Sun regular season standings. Behind the play of A-Sun Player of the Year, Mike Smith, the Bucs advanced to the semifinals against Iona – the furthest an A-Sun team has progressed in postseason play since 1987.
Jacksonville took to the road for its CIT win, defeating East Carolina before falling to Southern Methodist University in the second round. With the win against the Pirates, JU became the first team since 1996-97 to earn postseason victories in back-to-back seasons as the Dolphins defeated Arizona State in the NIT last season. The three combined postseason wins for the A-Sun is the most since 1987.
Belmont had unarguably the best regular season by an A-Sun team as the Bruins won 30 games – a league record – en route to their fourth A-Sun Championship in the past six seasons. Along the way, Bruins Head Coach Rick Byrd earned his 600th career victory and 500th win as the Bruins' front man.
During the 2010-11 season, A-Sun teams produced against teams from all levels of competition by earning six victories against BCS-level conferences. Stetson and Kennesaw State opened the year in November with wins against Wake Forest and Georgia Tech from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The A-Sun then turned its sights on the Southeastern Conference (SEC) as ETSU, Campbell and Jacksonville combined for four road victories. The Bucs downed Mississippi State and the Camels defeated Auburn, while the Dolphins earned the biggest win of the non-conference season by trumping No. 20 Florida in the O'Connell Center after picking up a win against Auburn earlier in the season.
As a whole, the A-Sun increased its non-conference win total by 12.5 percent with nine teams equaling or increasing their wins from the previous season. Six teams earned at least five non-conference victories.
Following the conclusion of the 2010-11 season, three programs hired new head coaches to lead their programs. Stetson, which finished 10th in the A-Sun, hired longtime Belmont assistant Casey Alexander, while eighth-place finisher, FGCU, turned to Florida State assistant Andy Enfield entering the Eagles first eligible season for the A-Sun Championship. Kennesaw State, the ninth team in the A-Sun last season, capped the off-season with the announcement of Lewis Preston, a Penn State assistant, as their new head coach.
In the 2011-12 season, all 10 A-Sun teams will be eligible for the A-Sun Championship after FGCU and USC Upstate both completed the NCAA Division I Transition period this season. The Eagles and Spartans – led by A-Sun Freshman of the Year, Torrey Craig – look to make an immediate impact in the conference as the A-Sun transitions to a new era of men's basketball.
Belmont, Lipscomb, Mercer and USC Upstate all put at least seven men's basketball student-athletes on the A-Sun All-Academic team with the Bruins at the top with 11. Belmont's Mick Hedgepeth and Scott Saunders both earned academic honors as Hedgepeth was named the NACDA Scholar-Athlete of the Year, while Saunders landed on the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-American team.

Hudson, Freeman lead Braves past Mets
Atlanta, GA – Tim Hudson spun 7 1/3 strong innings and Freddie Freeman finished 3-for-5 with a solo homer and three RBI to help the Atlanta Braves down the New York Mets, 9-4, in the finale of a rain-shortened two-game set at Turner Field.
Fresh off his 200th career victory, Hudson (4-1) struck out seven and allowed just three runs on five hits and one walk to earn his second straight win.
"That's a good sign for us," Atlanta outfielder Reed Johnson said of Hudson's strong start. "This game is about starting pitching. Any time we can get those guys deep into the game, it's going to be huge for us."
Johnson collected two hits and knocked in three runs, while Justin Upton added an RBI and two runs scored for the Braves, who had dropped three straight that included a 7-5 extra-inning setback in Friday's series opener.
David Wright clubbed a two-run homer and scored twice for the Mets, while Lucas Duda and Justin Turner added an RBI apiece in the setback, New York's seventh in its last nine games.
Jon Niese (2-3) was tagged for seven runs on seven hits and six walks over four-plus frames to absorb the loss.
"Today was one of those outings that I just want to forget about," Niese admitted. "I walked way too many guys. It's embarrassing. I've just got to learn from it."
The Braves broke through in a big way in the third, scoring five times in the frame to give Hudson some early support.
Andrelton Simmons started the rally with a one-out double and Chris Johnson followed with a four-pitch walk. Upton then punched a single to right to score Simmons before Freeman launched a double to left to plate Chris Johnson and Upton for a 3-0 lead.
Freeman moved to third on Evan Gattis' ground out and raced home on a wild pitch by Niese to make it 4-0.
Dan Uggla then walked and B.J. Upton followed with sharp single to third that Wright couldn't handle before Reed Johnson scorched a base hit back up the middle to cap Atlanta's early outburst.
The Mets responded in the fourth on Wright's two-run blast to straightaway center field, but Atlanta answered with two more in the fifth, as Gattis smacked a leadoff single before Uggla and B.J. Upton worked back-to-back walks to load the bases.
Jeurys Familia then took over for Niese and Reed Johnson greeted the New York reliever with a single to left to score Gattis and Uggla for a 7-2 edge.
Freeman launched a one-out solo shot over the wall in left-center field in the sixth to push the margin to 8-2.
The Mets battled back in the eighth, as Mike Baxter smacked a pinch-hit leadoff double and Wright worked a two-out walk off Atlanta reliever Luis Avilan.
Duda then singled to right to score Baxter before Cory Gearrin took over on the mound and plunked John Buck to load the bases.
Eric O'Flaherty relieved Gearrin and walked Turner, who was pinch-hitting, to plate Wright before fanning Marlon Byrd to leave the bases loaded and end the inning.
Gattis added a sacrifice fly in the eighth to account for the final margin.
Game Notes
The middle portion of this series was postponed due to rain. A makeup date has not been announced ... Wright has homered in three straight games ... Niese tied a career-high with six walks ... Hudson improved to 138-3 with 28 no- decisions when given a lead of three runs or more.

Now that Valentino Rossi has made his move to Ducati official, the only thing left to speculate upon is who will decide to join him at Ducati Corse. Most of this speculation surrounds Rossi's Crew Chief, Jeremy Burgess, who many consider to be the man behind the man. However other familiar faces at Fiat-Yamaha could be jumping ship as well, namely Davide Brivio.
Brivio is Rossi's Team Manager at Fiat-Yamaha (with the wall in the Fiat-Yamaha garage, Lorenzo has his own Team Manager, Wilco Zeelenberg), and if the Italian leaves Fiat-Yamaha along with Jeremy Burgess, the team will see a decisive blow in its talent pool.

You are the exception, and, of course, there are exceptions. I've been an elementary school teacher since the mid 90s, and the children that like either the LOTR movies or books are few and far between, even during the peak of the movie popularity. The most I could ever get out of the kids when mentioning LOTR is "my dad likes those movies."
Out of the 800 kids at my school, I can name maybe three that are fans of LOTR. None of them were interested in the idea of LOTR legos when I mentioned the new sets to them. They all said they had outgrown them.
Hopefully, the Hobbit will change this.
I (sadly) pretty much agree here. I was a pretty advanced reader, and I first read Fellowship in the fifth grade (after which I was hooked). Our teacher read the Hobbit to us in the third grade, and it seemed to be well received.
This, of course, was many many years before the PJ movies. I did see the Rankin/Bass animated hobbit when I was younger (say 2nd grade), and the Bakshi animated Lord of the Rings came out around the same time I read Fellowship (and therefore in my mind's eye Boromir will always look like a viking).
I'm surprised the PJ movies haven't made LotR more accessible a couple of years younger.
I was quite the opposite, even engaging in the movies/books before I had even watched/read them! I had older brothers who would play the video games and stuff, so I would always be keeping my eye on the TV just to watch those cool action scenes. I grew up in that culture, to the point where lots of my LEGO endeavors were through LOTR.
I can't really speak about the next generation though. I think there is enough attraction to the things that the LOTR sets will bring that will hopefully make them successful. There is still an incredibly large LOTR fan-base however. It will be interesting to see how things play out with this new license.

Taylor Hicks (and many others) showed up to Social Hollywood in LA on Tuesday night but it was all about Hicks. It seemed as though he was approached by one aspiring business partner after another - all wanting their own personal "Idol."
The "American Idol" winner was seen by TMZ's Josh Levine leaving the the Hollywood hotspot surrounded by paparazzi and possible future hook-ups ... er, business colleagues. At one point it got so bad that he needed a police escort back into the club while waiting for his car.
Good for Taylor though ... it seems that the head of the Soul Patrol has a good handle on how to deal with the many clinger-ons that will hound him in Hollywood.

David Wright spent a lot of time this offseason working out to get himself ready for the season, and that included eating right. Jeff Francoeur said Wright is chiseled.
The new-and-improved Wright brought some criticism, with some suggesting why he didn't do this earlier in his career. I can't see that. Wright has always been one of the hardest working Mets, and to suggest he hadn't put the effort in previously is unfair. I've always known Wright to come to camp early and as one of the team's hardest working players.
Last year was a bad one for him, both mentally and physically. That he recognized that and stepped up his program is to commended, not second guessed. Wright has always taken a leadership role with this team, but until last season he's lead a charmed life. To work harder after adversity only affirms his leadership responsibilities.
I see a big year for Wright, with him again reaching his career norms in power and run production. And, with Carlos Beltran out early and Carlos Delgado gone, it will truly be his locker room and his team.

BlackBerry is holding their BlackBerry 10 launch event today -- technically several events around the world -- and CrackBerry is live in both New York City and Toronto, and they'll be bringing you back everything you need to know. (Basically whether this'll be Rocky 3 for RIM... or Rocky 5.)
Most interesting to us, when BlackBerry 10 launches, it'll make iOS the oldest major operating system in mobile. Back in 2007 iOS was the newest, of course, and a massive leap beyond the old, instantly outdated Symbian, BBOS, PalmOS, and Windows Mobile operating systems of the time.
Then Google began to pivot Android into what eventually launched with the G1. Palm ditched PalmOS for webOS. Microsoft put down Windows Mobile in favor of Windows Phone 7. And now even RIM has replaced BBOS with BlackBerry 10.
Whether it works for everyone or not isn't the point. Whether it's ultimate successful in the market doesn't matter. Either way, triumph of tragedy, it'll bring new ideas to the table.
We're still months away from iOS 7, and hopefully Apple wowing us all over again.
But today is RIM's shot.
Keep it locked on CrackBerry for full BlackBerry 10 live event coverage and more throughout the day.

Mango recently surveyed users at academic institutions and found that over 90% of respondents reported an improvement in their language skills from using Mango. But that wasn't all – they had lots of great things to say about their Mango experience. Check it out:
"I want to learn Japanese in my free time so I'll be ready for an exchange in the near future. Mango has made it so much easier to learn Japanese and I've been telling all of my college friends about it."
"I like Mango's portability, as I have it connected on both iPad® and my Android™ phone. Whenever I need it, Mango is there!"
"I love that it covers many aspects of learning the language and gives you the opportunity to practice."
"It offers a variety of languages – and languages that are relevant."
"I love how simple it is to navigate and how clear the voices of the 'teachers' are."
"I love how it keeps reviewing previously learned material."
"Manageable chunks of information make me feel like I'm making progress."
"I really like using Mango. I have been able to grasp the language much better than when I took a class on it. And I can remember much more, even if I take a long break in between sessions."
"The format of lessons is well done: breaking down sentences, teaching the words, and showing how things change when used in another context. This has been very useful, especially in learning long or otherwise difficult phrases."
"I like the availability and the accessibility. I can pick it up and use it whenever I want to."
"I love this program. It has proved beneficial for every situation I have found myself in."
